Chapter 313 The enemy of my enemy is a friend
"There's no need to flatter me."

Shen Cheng was as casual as if he were at home, sitting opposite Gao Yi: "Tell me your purpose."

Gao Yi was also very relaxed, as if he was talking to an old friend: "Didn't Gao Feng tell you?"

Gao Feng is the name of the young man killed by Shen Cheng. No one knows what his relationship is with Gao Yi in front of him.

Shen Cheng leaned forward slightly, staring into Gao Yi's eyes: "What he said doesn't count. I want to hear you repeat it in person. What is the purpose of you killing people everywhere and destroying entertainment celebrations?"

Gao Yi remained silent, thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation.

Shen Cheng leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and continued to put pressure on him: "You can continue to remain silent, and I can also hand over your accomplices to Yongle City. Of course, none of you murderers can escape."

Qiu Ai looked at Shen Cheng with great admiration. The young man named Gao Feng had obviously been killed by him and even his body had turned to ashes, but he was able to mislead the other party without changing his expression and make them think Gao Feng was still alive.

Shen Cheng's words were like a heavy burden, weighing heavily on the hearts of the five people opposite.

Under such strong pressure, Gao Yi did not panic, but remained calm enough.

"Your Excellency, you are the special envoy of Baiye Country. It is not an exaggeration to say that Baiye Country and our Qin Wang Territory are enemies. After all, our front line is still in a standoff."

Gao Yi did not answer Shen Cheng's question, but laughed and asked, "So I'm very curious, what is the reason why you, representing the Baiye Kingdom, did not report us, the murderers of the Qin King Territory, to Yongle Chencheng right away, but instead came here alone?"

alone?

This sentence made Qiu Ai's eyebrows raise. She wanted to yell, "Are you blind? Am I not a human being?"

However, in this situation, she didn't dare to speak without permission and could only stare at him with dissatisfaction.

Gao Yi's reaction impressed Shen Cheng a little, so he stopped keeping the secret: "Because I am very curious about your purpose. There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although you and I represent hostile countries, in this independent third country, maybe we can really become friends."

Although the Baiye Kingdom is now Shen Cheng's ally, he has no prejudice against the Qin Wang Territory and naturally will not reject contact and communication with them.

Gao Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes dim and unclear, as if he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind and making an intense decision.

Shen Cheng did not urge him. He now had complete control of the initiative. Unless Gao Yi decided to fight to the death, he would only have one choice.

At this moment, in the extremely depressing atmosphere, every minute and every second seemed extremely long.

Except for Shen Cheng and Gao Yi, everyone else was so nervous that they dared not even breathe, their bodies were stiff and they dared not move.

In a trance, they felt as if more than ten minutes had passed, and only when they came to their senses did they realize that only half a minute had passed.

"call……"

Gao Yi let out a long breath and finally made up his mind.

He didn't say anything, but just quickly wrote a word in the air with his finger.

Because the speed was so fast, no one else around had time to see it, only Shen Cheng saw it clearly.

Gao Yi wrote the word "star".

It seemed nonsensical, but Shen Cheng had already fully understood that Gao Yi's purpose was the same as his, which was to investigate Jin Xing's situation.

The difference is that Shen Cheng has not figured out how to act, while Gao Yi has already started to act in advance, using killing as a method to disrupt the entertainment celebration.

The entertainment celebration and Yongle City are what Jin Xing values ​​most. If the entertainment celebration cannot be continued because too many people die, and the safety reputation that Yongle City has promoted for many years is threatened, then Jin Xing will definitely be furious.

But Shen Cheng didn’t understand. How could he test Jin Xing’s situation using this method alone?

Even if Jin Xing did not take action, the two Dukes, Jin Yan and Yu Feng, were not just for show, and either of them could calm the situation.

Facing Shen Cheng's puzzled look, Gao Yi could only reveal one thing: "We have other backup plans."

Shen Cheng understood that Gao Yi's killing people everywhere was just a pre-planned move.

Judging from Gao Yi's expression, he probably won't reveal any specific back-up plan. Shen Cheng also knows the principle of knowing when to stop. If he pushes too hard, the other party might explode with him.

It turned out that in addition to himself, Prince Qin was also inquiring about Jin Xing's situation.

But why did they ask at this time, instead of earlier or later?
Shen Cheng suddenly remembered something. When the Baiye Kingdom and Qin Wangling were negotiating at the border, they secretly revealed that they had already learned that Qin Hao of Qin Wangling was missing. This caused the people of Qin Wangling to panic and they changed their aggressive momentum during the negotiations.

Could it be that the Baiye Kingdom also revealed the news that the current Jin Xing is a fake, which is why King Qin sent people to investigate?

No matter where the King of Qin got the information from, what Shen Cheng should consider now is how to make use of it.

If he leaves it alone, he can wait for Gao Yi to test Jin Xing's situation first, and then he can reap the benefits.

But this idea was dismissed by Shen Cheng as soon as it emerged. There is no free lunch in the world. If he thought of reaping the benefits without doing anything, Gao Yi and his gang might just back off and run away.

Moreover, the strength of this group of people is not outstanding. They only have Gao Yi as a trump card. Even if they really have some backup plan, it is hard to believe that they can bypass the two dukes and spy on Jin Xing's information.

After thinking for a while, Shen Cheng made up his mind: "We have the same goal, so there should be a chance for cooperation. Should we give it a try?"

Gao Yi was not surprised. Shen Cheng did not expose them, but came to meet them alone, which had already exposed his purpose.

He was not excited or upset, and asked calmly: "Your Excellency, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"I don't know what your backup plan is, but on the day of the entertainment celebration, when Jin Xing comes out to give his speech, I can hold back Duke Jin Yan for a while for you."

Shen Cheng had already vaguely guessed what Gao Yi's back-up plan was, so his words were purely a test.

As expected, after listening to Shen Cheng's conditions, Gao Yi tried very hard to control his expression, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "This is indeed what we need, so what do you need?"

The premise of cooperation is that both parties get what they need. Gao Yi doesn't think Shen Cheng is just helping others, he must have his own purpose.

"I said that our goals are the same. Helping you is also helping me."

Shen Cheng pondered and said, "But I do need you to help me do one thing. Create a big enough chaos on the day of the entertainment celebration. Can you do it?"

Gao Yi nodded: "No problem." Shen Cheng said: "I will draw up the list of people you will kill in the next three days. Without my permission, you are not allowed to kill anyone, okay?"

In order to disrupt the entertainment celebrations, this group of people have been killing innocent people indiscriminately during this period, and the victims are all guests from all over the world.

Shen Cheng now has no choice but to cooperate with this group of people. He can only restrain them first, decide on their next target for killing, and then settle the score with them afterwards.

Shen Cheng never considered himself a Star Ranger, but he also never minded doing things that were in line with a Star Ranger.

This request made Gao Yi feel strange, but he agreed without thinking too much, and at the same time he made another request: "Our companion offended you, I can apologize to you, can you let him go?"

Qiu Ai muttered in her heart behind him, "Your companions have all turned into ashes, do you want to come back and fertilize the potted plants?"

Shen Cheng said calmly, "His mouth stinks, which makes me very upset. Let him suffer at my hands for a few days, and I will return it to you after this is over."

These words were flawless. Even Gao Feng's accomplices knew about his foul mouth. Gao Yi did not think that Shen Cheng had killed Gao Feng. He just thought that Shen Cheng wanted to keep Gao Feng as a hostage, so he had no choice but to agree.

After the two sides agreed on more details, Shen Cheng stood up, shook hands with Gao Yi, and then chose to say goodbye and leave.

After Shen Cheng took Qiu Ai away, the atmosphere in the living room visibly relaxed, no longer as tense and depressing as before.

The four subordinates were obviously relieved. The special envoy from Baiye looked quite amiable and not a vicious person, but the pressure he put on them was inexplicably great.

Not to mention them, even Gao Yi himself felt relieved.

Shen Cheng looks like a supernatural being, but he was able to easily subdue Gao Feng, and he dared to break into their stronghold alone with a burden, forcing them to cooperate, and even dared to promise to delay Duke Jin Yan for a while after three days.

All signs indicate that this White Night Kingdom envoy is absolutely confident in his own strength. He is at least an earl, or even a duke.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that Gao Yi could not see through Shen Cheng's power at all. No matter how he looked at it, Shen Cheng was just an extraordinary person in his eyes.

This means that Shen Cheng's strength has far surpassed Gao Yi's, which is why he is able to hide perfectly in front of him.

Now Gao Yi only cares about two things.

First: When did such an unknown big figure appear in Baiyue Kingdom? This is not a good thing for King Qin.

Second: Why did the Baiye Kingdom secretly send this important figure to Yongle City?
If it was just to test Jin Xing, there would be no need to take such a risk.

"Master Gao Yi."

One of the subordinates asked, "Do we really want to cooperate with this White Moon Country envoy?"

Gao Yi's calm expression finally broke down and he gave a bitter smile: "Do you think we have any choice?"

Shen Cheng had an absolute advantage and could wipe them out by himself with force. Even if he didn't do it himself, as long as he leaked their existence to Yongle City, even if they were able to escape, their subsequent action plans would be scrapped.

So they had no other choice except to cooperate with Shen Cheng.

Seeing that his four subordinates were a little overwhelmed, Gao Yi could only comfort them, "Don't worry, since this special envoy has come to us personally, he must be sincere in cooperating with us. We just need to do our job well."

While Gao Yi was calming people down, Shen Cheng had already brought Qiu Ai back to the divination room.

Although Qiu Ai's personality appeared to be carefree, on the way back, she did not ask any questions that she shouldn't have asked, leaving a good impression on Shen Cheng.

Therefore, after returning to the divination house, Shen Cheng gave another task to Qiu Ai, asking her to investigate and draw up a list, and then give it to Gao Yi and others to kill.

Shen Cheng had only one requirement for this list, and that was people who deserved to die.

This surprised both Qiu Ai and Qiu Ming. They thought that someone of Shen Cheng's status should be cold-blooded and heartless, but he actually did such a chivalrous act.

However, this is in line with the siblings' three views, and this request is not difficult to accomplish. Yongle City is full of filth and the number of people who deserve to die is simply countless.

After explaining everything, Shen Cheng quietly returned to the hotel.

The three people of No. 1 were guarding in the room and had no idea that Shen Cheng, who was reading the tour guide, was just a split body.

Shen Cheng also did not tell No. 1 about his cooperation with Gao Yi and others.

The antagonism between Baiye Kingdom and Qinwang Territory is very serious now. Once they know that Shen Cheng is cooperating with Qinwang Territory's people, God knows whether these three guys will do something irrational.

Besides, these three people are not the type to give advice, so there is no need to discuss with them.

For the next three days, Shen Cheng stayed in the hotel and didn't go anywhere.

It was very lively outside. Gao Yi and his group took the killing list drawn up by Qiu Ai for them and attacked everywhere, killing dozens of people in just three days.

All of these deceased were guests from all over the world, all of them were celebrities and wealthy businessmen. They had great influence in themselves, and it was impossible for them to be dealt with casually after their death like ordinary people.

So during these three days, the entire Yongle City was in a state of panic, and the powerful control of public opinion could no longer cover up the murders, because many of the crimes were committed in the streets and there were too many witnesses.

All kinds of rumors began to fly, causing panic among many guests who lived here or came from afar to attend the entertainment celebrations.

However, the safety reputation that Yongle City has built up over the years is not to be underestimated. At least for the time being, it has not caused large-scale riots, and customers have not fled on a large scale.

Gao Yi and his gang acted cleanly and efficiently, without leaving any evidence behind. Yongle City spent three days trying but still failed to catch them.

But this is exactly what makes Shen Cheng feel puzzled. If Yongle City is only at this level, it would be impossible for it to become one of the three major forces of the Eternal Empire.

He had also seen Gao Yi and his men in person, and didn't feel that there was anything special about them.

Killing people at will right under the nose of Yongle City and getting away with it, Shen Cheng really couldn't think of a second possibility except that Yongle City deliberately didn't arrest anyone.

As for why they deliberately didn't arrest anyone, this involves the inside information that Qiu Ai had revealed to Shen Cheng before - there were two forces inside Yongle City who were fighting openly and secretly, and Gao Yi and his gang might have been used.

The above is just Shen Cheng's guess, but he can't think of a more reasonable explanation than this.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was finally time for the entertainment celebration.
