Chapter 1026 A Top-Notch Thug Is Needed
Bai Xiaowei slightly raised his hand, reached out and moved the tea table from inside the room to under the eaves.

"You can pour your own tea," Bai Xiaowei said, leaning back in his recliner.

Seeing this, Xie Yiming was not angry. He could also guess that Bai Xiaowei had been overwhelmed with official business recently.

He then pulled out a chair, sat down at the tea table, and asked as he poured tea, "Would you like some?"

Bai Xiao shook his head lazily.

Xie Yiming poured himself a cup of tea and said, "There is a person who is suspected to be a member of the Purple Gold Alliance. He has now arrived in Bazhou and is currently in the Northern King's Mansion."

"I don't know what An is thinking for the time being."

"However, the Northern Prince's Mansion is quite lively right now, and I cannot go there rashly to disturb it. Moreover, it is best if Fu Cheng does not know about this matter. If he does know, he will not be able to focus on implementing the new policies in the northern lands."

Upon hearing that Xie Yiming had a lead, Bai Xiaowei immediately perked up.

"Do you know what that person looks like?" Bai Xiaowei asked.

Xie Yiming said, "I understand roughly."

Suddenly, Zong Liang arrived in a hurry. Seeing Xie Yiming there, he bowed to Xie Yiming somewhat hastily, and then reported to Bai Xiaowei: "My lord, His Highness the Northern King is hosting a banquet tonight to welcome guests to the Northern King's residence."

"The notices have been posted at the gates of the four cities."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaowei remained expressionless and ordered, "Understood. Lead a portion of the troops to guard the four city gates. There will be a curfew tonight; not even a fly can get out."

Upon hearing this, Zong Liang nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, sir."

After Zong Liang left, Bai Xiaowei crossed his legs and swayed back and forth on the recliner, looking nothing like a mature politician.

"Interesting. Fucheng actually held a banquet to welcome back the sea, recruiting talented people from the north to enter the Northern King's court. This is quite a clever move," Bai Xiaowei said with a subtle smile.

Xie Yiming joked, "Young people who have just ascended the throne have the opportunity to show their skills, so naturally they will hold nothing back."

Bai Xiaowei said, "There will be many people entering the Northern Prince's Mansion tonight."

"Let's not go. After all, we're getting old. If we go, we'll be putting up a fight against this young man, Fu Cheng, and we can't let him steal the spotlight."

"Once the Northern King has firmly established himself, it won't be too late for us to pay him a visit with gifts."

In fact, Bai Xiaowei couldn't judge whether the young Northern King would have a chance to completely establish himself.

The Helian family is currently remaining silent, completely severing ties with Fucheng, at least on the surface.

Currently, there are no experts guarding the Northern King's Mansion in Fucheng.

Even if there were several people from Hengchang Sect inside the Northern King's Mansion, it wouldn't be surprising if the Zijin Alliance pushed them too far and killed Guo Shenghe, Gao Zhi, and Jing Hanqing.

“That makes sense. I don’t like to steal the limelight from others either,” Xie Yiming said.

Bai Xiaowei suddenly stared at Xie Yiming and asked, "Are the clues you investigated true and reliable? Who exactly is that member of the Purple Gold Alliance?"

Xie Yiming looked troubled and said, "It's only certain that he has a connection with the Purple Gold Alliance, but it's hard to say what kind of role he plays within the Purple Gold Alliance."

"Furthermore, his true identity, as it is known, has not yet been uncovered."

"I want to take that person away without anyone noticing."

"I wonder what you think?"

Xie Yiming is thoughtful and considerate, but compared to Bai Xiaowei, he always lacks a bit of sharpness and keenness.

In matters requiring decisive action, Xie Yiming's skill was inferior to that of the Prime Minister.

Bai Xiaowei then realized why Xie Yiming had contacted him.

"Then let's take that person away without anyone noticing," Bai Xiaowei said confidently.

Xie Yiming said, "But we need a big show to cover our tracks." "If we rashly go to the Northern Prince's Mansion to make a move, the news will inevitably leak out, which will be detrimental to our next actions."

Bai Xiaowei chuckled coldly, "I can't go to the Northern Prince's Mansion and attract everyone's attention to confuse the public for you."

"If I go, it will be even more exciting."

"Recently, many shops in various places have closed down, basic prices have started to rise, and many chambers of commerce have caused trouble. Just these things have given me a huge headache."

"If I go to the Northern Prince's mansion, it will cause a ripple effect and trigger even greater chaos in the market."

As he spoke, Bai Xiaowei realized what was going on.

"Could it be that person is also in the Boundless Realm?" Bai Xiaowei asked Xie Yiming with a surprised look.

The Prince of the South nodded and said, "Yes."

"I originally wanted to inform Yuwen Jun about this matter."

"But I felt it was rather embarrassing to ask Yuwen Jun for such a small matter."

"Furthermore, we are all getting old, and we need to make young people feel that we are reliable elders."

Bai Xiaowei sat up abruptly, pointed at Xie Yiming's nose, and yelled, "Then do you think you're reliable now?"

"Such a big thing, and you're still thinking about saving face."

"Could it be that you're not confident of defeating that person, which is why you came to me?"

Xie Yiming nodded again.

After entering the Boundless Realm, Xie Yiming realized that he, the Southern King, was a weakling. It wasn't Xie Yiming's fault; the Purple Gold Alliance was just too treacherous.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Xiaowei said, "We still need to tell Yuwen Jun about this."

"At this critical juncture, it would be too symbolic for the two of us to make a move. If we can avoid it, we should try to stay out of it."

After speaking, Bai Xiaowei immediately constructed a void channel to transmit his thoughts remotely.

Xie Yiming said embarrassedly, "I thought that if you and I joined forces, we should be able to take down that person smoothly."

Bai Xiaowei said, "It is a good time for Fucheng to hold the Return to the Sea Banquet tonight, but I think there is a high chance that the banquet will encounter some setbacks."

"Being able to join the Purple Gold Alliance means that there is a backup plan, a backup plan specifically targeting the Northern King's faction."

"There might be a lot of excitement tonight."

Xie Yiming clicked his tongue and said, "With Fu Cheng's talent and strategy, he should be more than capable of handling such a small situation."

Bai Xiaowei chuckled and said, "At this critical juncture, who would want to cause you any trouble? Any incident that happens will be a big deal, and could very well affect public opinion."

"If we're not careful, we'll all be led by the nose."

"You're supposed to be the King of the South, how can you be so careless?"

Xie Yiming said awkwardly, "That's why I came to find you."

Bai Xiaowei was speechless for a moment. If you say that the Prince of the South is careless, then he is not really careless. If he is not careless, then President Que gives people the feeling of being unreliable.

Suddenly, the void surged, and Yuwen Jun arrived alone.

Upon seeing that both Wuji masters were present, Yuwen Jun frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Xiaowei cut to the chase: "You need to summon Yinglong back from Haomiao City. In short, we need a capable fighter."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun didn't mince words and asked with a strange laugh, "Is the Demon Realm Queen truly capable?"
