#309 - The real conspiracy
Inside the camp.
In a spacious tent, slaves brought fine wine and food.
Mo Dao Kuang was like a starving ghost reincarnated, pouncing on the food and wine, devouring it ravenously, as if oblivious to everything else in the world, his only desire to satisfy his hunger and thirst.
Liang Jin sat in the main seat, with Ayina, Hagon, and Chigui Li seated beside him.
"Boss Meng, we need to hire you."
The tall and sturdy Chigui Li stood up and said loudly:
"No matter how much gold it costs, we can afford it!"
His voice was like a booming bell, exceptionally deafening.
Liang Jin smiled and took a sip of wine, minding his own business.
He didn't respond.
Ayina kicked Chigui Li:
"Get out of here!"
Chigui Li, hearing this, could only retreat to the side in a hurry.
Now Ayina was the leader.
And now, this wasn't the Green Garment House in Dingfeng City, so it wasn't up to a guard like Chigui Li to negotiate.
Moreover, Liang Jin had demonstrated terrifying strength tonight. How could such an expert be hired with a simple offer?
Immediately, Ayina said:
"Boss Meng saved us."
"We will remember this kindness."
Liang Jin was helpless and shook his head slightly.
Who wanted you to remember it in your heart?
Can't you actually take it out and repay me?
Ayina also knew that Liang Jin was dissatisfied, so she could only say helplessly:
"We didn't bring any treasures with us this time, and you wouldn't even look at these two bags of gold."
"But you must believe us, I, Ayina, always keep my word!"
Saying this, Ayina kicked open the table in front of her.
Then, she pulled down her collar, and a smooth arm stretched out from the neckline, her hand resting on her knee.
Her other hand reached behind her and drew out the scimitar on her back.
But Ayina didn't even frown.
Leaving a scar on the body is a solemn way for the people of the Siha Li Kingdom to swear an oath.
As long as this scar remains on her body, then this oath will be forever valid.
Liang Jin finally put down his wine glass and asked:
"Miss Ayina, may I ask, did you travel thousands of miles from the Siha Li Kingdom to this Hidden Wind Valley for the treasure here?"
Hearing this, Ayina laughed heartily.
Chigui Li and Hagon also laughed.
Finally, Ayina said:
"I, Ayina, have never lacked gold, so there's no need to travel so far to find gold."
"I won't lie to you, we came here to see what the people of the Black Dragon Kingdom want to do?"
Liang Jin frowned upon hearing this.
It's the Black Dragon Kingdom again.
Back then, Cang Du said that his biggest enemy on this trip was Tu Xie Wang of the Black Dragon Kingdom.
The Western Desert Military Deployment Map and the treasure map stolen from the palace were also to be sent to the Black Dragon Kingdom.
Could it be that the mastermind behind all of this is the Black Dragon Kingdom?
Sure enough.
Only to hear Ayina say:
"That Tu Xie Wang of the Black Dragon Kingdom sent people to steal the treasure map from Da Qian, and then used it to promote the treasure in the Western Desert, thereby attracting everyone to this Hidden Wind Valley."
"Tu Xie Wang even made a promise to the leaders of the three major forces in the Western Desert that whoever can obtain the treasure will receive full support in establishing a country in the Western Desert."
Liang Jin straightened up upon hearing this.
Establish a country?!
In an instant, he couldn't help but understand.
No wonder the leaders of the three major forces gathered in this Hidden Wind Valley.
It turned out that they were not just for the treasure, but for greater benefits.
If one could become the master of the Western Desert, that would undoubtedly be much better than being the leader of a martial arts sect.
The three major forces in the Western Desert probably all have ambitions.
The Great Snow Mountain Sect has been on good terms with Da Qian for generations; the Star Demon Sea is close to the Black Dragon Dynasty; the Boundless Bright King Sect was once the state religion of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and has the most support and support in the Western Desert.
The three parties check and balance each other.
But if the Black Dragon Kingdom intervenes, then this balance will undoubtedly be broken.
The purpose of Cang Du from the Jishi Factory is probably similar to Ayina's.
Ayina continued:
"Our Siha Li Kingdom doesn't believe the Black Dragon Kingdom's nonsense!"
"The Black Dragon Kingdom has always wanted to get involved in the Western Desert, but it doesn't dare to send troops to occupy it, because it fears our Siha Li Kingdom and the Da Qian Kingdom."
"Once the Black Dragon Kingdom dares to advance into the Western Desert, the Siha Li Kingdom and the Da Qian Kingdom will definitely send troops to snipe them."
"But if the Black Dragon Kingdom can support the local forces in the Western Desert to establish their own country, and then the Black Dragon Kingdom controls this Western Desert country from behind, then the situation will be different."
"At that time, in less than ten years, the Western Desert will also become the territory of the Black Dragon Kingdom."
"But we in the Siha Li Kingdom will never allow this situation to happen."
Liang Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly after listening.
People at different levels see things differently.
What most martial artists see is just the treasure that can make them rich overnight.
And what those in high positions see is greater benefits.
Obtaining the treasure means having money.
Gaining the support of a powerful country means having power.
The combination of the two really gives hope for establishing a country.
"Miss Ayina, may I ask what exactly is your identity?"
Liang Jin asked.
This Ayina is already a fifth-rank martial artist at a young age. In addition to her extraordinary talent, she must have also received a lot of resources.
Especially since she is generous, carrying bags of gold with her.
When they first met, she had three fifth-rank martial artists, Hagon, Chigui Li, and Aslan, as escorts.
Even within Da Qian, only people with extraordinary status are qualified to have such a lineup.
Liang Jin hadn't asked this question before.
It was because he felt that Ayina had little to do with him, and he was too lazy to ask.
But now that the two of them were in Hidden Wind Valley, only by understanding the situation clearly could they possibly deal with the changes here.
“Ayina, don't tell him!”
“This person's background is mysterious and cannot be trusted. Be careful of being betrayed by him.”
Ha Gang couldn't help but speak.
He had already seen that Ayina was becoming more and more trusting of this Liang Jin.
This made him secretly anxious.
What did Liang Jin do? He made a living by taking money to kill people.
In Ha Gang's impression, this kind of person usually only recognized money and not people.
Ayina said:
“What can't be said?”
“If he was going to betray us, he wouldn't have saved us just now.”
Saying this, Ayina retracted her arm, which had stopped bleeding, from her collar and extended it from her sleeve.

She stood up and said:
“I am the daughter of Bietuobie, the Elder of the Ruling Council and Governor of Yuni Province in the Sahr Country!”
“I am a descendant of the Abena family, with noble blood flowing in my veins. The lion is the ancestor and totem of our family.”
Liang Jin didn't know much about the Sahr Country, nor did he know how powerful Ayina's family was.
However, he knew that the governor of a province in the Sahr Country was equivalent to a powerful regional official in the Great Qian Dynasty, or rather, a local vassal with great power to decide life and death within his territory.
No wonder Ayina had so many experts guarding her.
At the same time, it was no wonder that Huyan Di wanted to snatch Ayina as his wife.
“In that case, is Miss Ayina planning to stop the Black Dragon Kingdom's conspiracy on behalf of the Sahr Country?”
Liang Jin asked again.
Ayina shook her head helplessly:
“This time, King Tu Xie has sent many experts. Huyan Di, whom you killed before, is not the most powerful one.”
“We are only here to gather information and do not have the ability to stop them.”
“Unless…”
Saying this, Ayina stared at Liang Jin:
“You are willing to help us!”
Liang Jin stroked his chin and began to think.
He didn't mind helping either side.
He only cared about how to maximize his own interests.
He was willing to help the Jishi Factory of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Snow Mountain Sect before, but in the end, they parted ways.
And Liang Jin had a feud with the Black Dragon Kingdom long ago. The people of the Black Dragon Kingdom had tried to poison Cang Du, and Liang Jin was also poisoned along with him.
If Liang Jin hadn't been immune to all poisons, he would have died long ago.
Now that he had killed people from the Black Dragon Kingdom, he couldn't help this side either.
He was not familiar with the Boundless Bright King Sect and the Star Demon Sea, so he had no way to help them.
On the other hand, he had some relationship with this Sahr Country.
It seemed that helping the Sahr Country was the most beneficial.
But it just so happened that this group of people from the Sahr Country was the weakest group.
What could a few fifth-rank martial artists accomplish?
But it was precisely because they were weak that Liang Jin had the opportunity to help.
This statement was laughable, although.
But looking at the attitude of the Great Snow Mountain Sect and Cang Du of the Jishi Factory, it was clear that they were strong enough themselves, and even if Liang Jin wanted to help them, they still looked down on him.
Helping the Sahr Country was no problem.
But the problem was, what could the Sahr Country bring him?
At this time.
Ayina continued to say:
“If you can help us successfully thwart the Black Dragon Kingdom's conspiracy, coupled with your life-saving grace to me.”
“I can guarantee that if the Sahr Country annexes the Western Desert in the future, you will be able to become the governor here.”
“Even if the Sahr Country fails to annex the Western Desert, you will be able to obtain the support of the Sahr Country, which can help you dominate the Western Desert and even establish a country in the Western Desert.”
Liang Jin smiled when he heard this.
He didn't believe that Ayina could give such a big promise.
The Western Desert was a place where the three major forces of the Great Qian Kingdom, the Black Dragon Kingdom, and the Sahr Country competed.
The three major forces were all looking for their respective agents here.
The agent of the Great Qian was probably the Great Snow Mountain Sect, which was why Cang Du was mixed up with Bai Qiuying.
The Black Dragon Kingdom was likely the Star Demon Sea, which had a better relationship with them.
And the Sahr Country was obviously also looking for an agent, but probably the Boundless Bright King Sect was the most suitable object.
The situation here was complicated, and it could not be decided by the mouth of a little girl alone.
Liang Jin's current Green Robe Tower was weak and not qualified to become an agent of the Sahr Country.
So Liang Jin said:
“Miss Ayina, perhaps you should talk to the Dharma King of the Boundless Bright King Sect?”
Ayina shook her head when she heard this:
“The Boundless Bright King Sect is now busy with internal strife and may even split.”
“Whether it is our Sahr Country, or the Great Qian Kingdom, or the Black Dragon Kingdom, they are all waiting for their internal strife to determine the winner and produce a new Dharma King before trying to win them over.”
Liang Jin was slightly surprised to hear this.
He really didn't know the news that the Boundless Bright King Sect was in internal strife.
Just as Liang Jin was about to speak.
Suddenly!
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent.
Accompanying it was the sound of fighting.
This made Liang Jin frown. He waved his hand and summoned a slave to ask:
“Go and see what happened.”
Just as the slave was about to turn around and leave.
A one-eyed man walked in, it was Yunlong.
Yunlong raised his hand and threw a person tied up in five flowers at Liang Jin's feet.
“Mr. Meng, someone broke into our camp at night and was caught by me.”
“Please decide how to deal with this person.”
Yunlong said loudly.
Liang Jin was greatly surprised when he saw it.
Why is it this guy?!
