Chapter 1713: Old Business

After returning to Liangshan City, Wu Yong immediately ran to the Ministry of War to report. The emperor must have summoned him back this time to arrange an important task, and the urgent military matters would definitely not be his turn, and the emperor could not wait for him to come back.

After completing his work report and registering at the Ministry of War, Wu Yong rushed to the palace.

After arriving at Liangshan by boat and entering the palace, Wu Yong finally bowed down before Sun Lei.

"Your Majesty, I, Wu Yong, pay my respects to you!"

Wu Yong bowed to Sun Lei.

"Get up, you came back pretty quickly and gained a lot of weight!"

Sun Lei looked at Wu Yong with a smile. Wu Yong had gained a lot of weight since he left.

"Your Majesty, Japan is vulnerable. I have nothing to do anywhere. I just keep eating and getting fat!"

Wu Yong smiled and said that life in Japan was actually quite boring, and he had gained weight accidentally.

"That's good, no one will recognize you anymore!"

Sun Lei said with a smile that Wu Yong had no presence to begin with, and now that he had gained weight, he was even more unrecognizable.

"Your Majesty, do you have any confidential matters for me to do?"

Wu Yong looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Yes, something is wrong in Liangshan City recently. I always feel that someone wants to cause trouble, but I have no evidence. I want to send someone to investigate privately. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable person."

Sun Lei looked at Wu Yong and said.

"Is someone causing trouble?"

Wu Yong was a little surprised. Now that the world was stable, who would dare to cause trouble?
"Let's all feel it and find some evidence."

Sun Lei nodded.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will get to the bottom of this matter!"

Wu Yong immediately saluted.

"You have to carry out the mission in secret, so your reward will have to be delayed. Otherwise, once it is announced, everyone will know that you are back."

Sun Lei looked at Wu Yong and said.

"I will obey your majesty. I have no objection, but I am afraid that the generals under my command cannot wait!"

Wu Yong said that he certainly didn't care about the order of the rewards, since it would be his in the end anyway. However, the generals who came back together had been looking forward to it for a long time, and if it was delayed, they would be disappointed.

"Their rewards will be issued by the Ministry of War, at most! They will also send a telegram with great fanfare, and it will be enough for the internal staff to know about it."

Sun Lei said that he certainly couldn't suppress the rewards for everyone else. The soldiers had worked so hard for so long, and the rewards must be in place.

"Tell me about Japan."

Sun Lei looked at Wu Yong and asked. Although everything had been explained in the military newspaper, Sun Lei still wanted to hear Wu Yong's report in person to avoid revealing anything.

Wu Yong immediately recounted in detail what he had done in Japan. The conspiracy and tricks were used to the extreme, and the people in Japan were badly deceived.

"Good! Good, I knew you could handle it when you go there."

Sun Lei looked at Wu Yong and said with a smile that it was just right to use all his evil intentions against Japan.

The Japanese slaves are all ungrateful. When they see you are strong, they will wag their tails and beg for mercy, pretending to be grandsons, and keep trying to get benefits. When you become weak, these grandsons will turn their faces and refuse to recognize you.

"Your Majesty, most of the Japanese slaves are dead. I have had the city destroyed, and the rest have fled into the mountains and become savages."

Wu Yong concluded.

"I've seen this in the military newspaper. It's okay. Take your time. One day we'll kill them all."

Sun Lei said that it would be very difficult to kill them all. It would be too easy to hide some people in such a large area of ​​land.

Wu Yong also talked about some things about Japan, such as some Japanese slaves begging for surrender and willing to submit to Qi for generations. Sun Lei's unified reply was no, the Japanese slaves had no integrity, and any oath was unreliable.

After a long time, Wu Yong left the palace. When he returned to his mansion, he entered through the back door for fear of being recognized.

The next morning, Wu Yong was wearing a tattered Taoist robe and a black scarf. The sign in his hand that read "Iron Mouth Straight Judgment" was a bit old but eye-catching. He had a few strands of beard on his face and a mysterious look in his eyes, looking like a fortune teller from another world.

Wu Yong was holding an old copper bell and walking on the road, swaying from side to side, as if he was soliciting business or just shopping.

Wu Yong was very confident about the way he looked. He guaranteed that no one would be able to recognize him unless they were very familiar with him.

"It seems that there is nothing else in Liangshan City except the hustle and bustle!"

Wu Yong looked at the busy streets with some confusion; he couldn't see anything wrong at all.

But there was one thing that made Wu Yong even more depressed. It seemed that no one asked him to tell fortunes, even though he had been walking on the street for a long time.

"It seems that fortune-telling is not going to be a good thing anymore."

Wu Yong was tired from walking, so he found a tea stall, sat down, ordered a cup of tea, and prepared to take a rest.

"Sir, please have a cup of tea!"

The owner of the tea stall smiled and offered Wu Yong a cup of tea.

"My fortune-telling business isn't doing very well, but this tea stall is doing very well. I think I have to move to another place."

Wu Yong sighed. He said this on purpose in front of the tea stall owner. This kind of tea stall on the street serves people from all directions and meets countless people every day. He knows the situation on the street best.

"Sir, you are joking. It is only thanks to your majesty that the world is peaceful, all businesses are thriving, and there are many people on the streets that I can earn some money to support my family."

The boss smiled and said that the business of their tea stall depends entirely on the overall environment. If all businesses are prosperous, everyone will have money and will be willing to come to his place to drink tea and chat.

"But, sir, have you just arrived in Liangshan City?"

The boss asked with a smile.

"The boss really has a good eye. He really just came to Liangshan City and thought that this is the best city in the world, so he came here to make some money. But he didn't expect that there would be no business for a long time."

Wu Yong shook his head helplessly.

"Sir, you've come to the wrong place. Most of the people walking on the street you came to are from wealthy families. They don't believe in fortune-telling. You want to go to the north of the city..."

The boss introduced Wu Yong.

As soon as Wu Yong heard this, he realized that he had been away from the bottom of society for too long. They were going to the main street of Liangshan City, where no one would believe this.

"I see! Thank you very much!"

Wu Yong looked as if he had suddenly realized something and quickly bowed to his boss to express his gratitude.

"But, is there anyone coming from the north of the city?"

Wu Yong started to inquire again. As a fortune teller, he naturally had to know some details before he could speak nonsense, otherwise he would be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I don't know. There are many people from different walks of life here."

The boss shook his head.

"A face in the underworld?"

Wu Yong immediately noticed these four words, and it seemed that this was the person he was investigating this time.

"Yes, they travel all over the country, maybe they want to come to Liangshan City to make a living, but Liangshan City doesn't have the food they have."

The boss picked up the teapot and left, shaking his head. Liangshan City is now the best city in the world, and everything there is is the best. Those people in the martial arts world eat the lowest level of food, and Liangshan City is not suitable for them.

"Gangsters? What do these frivolous guys want to do? Make trouble?"

Wu Yong was full of doubts.
