Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1034 - 618: Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow

Sui Yi probably didn’t expect that despite downplaying her appearance, downplaying her martial arts, and even downplaying her style, she still couldn’t keep a low profile. Moreover, facing these sharp-eyed, quick-tongued merchants, she couldn’t find a reason to extricate herself...

Because people always find reasons to keep you from leaving, and their enthusiasm is blazing... like a fire in the winter.

"Oh my! It’s the Chief Officer!"

"He actually came too?"

The Yangzhou Chief Officer, Yuchi Sheng, was walking over at this moment, naturally accompanied by protective guards from the Imperial Army, among whom was a face that looked quite familiar to Sui Yi.

Yuchi Zheng.

Yes, the same surname, perhaps they came from the same family, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken in Yuchi Zheng.

Yuchi Zheng also saw Sui Yi, his eyes flickered, but both of them had a mutual understanding and didn’t draw attention to themselves.

Meanwhile, Du Fuwei laughed heartily, his voice rang out.

Yuchi Sheng stopped in his tracks, looked in Du Fuwei’s direction, and said lightly, "Lord Du seems to be in a good mood."

"Now that the Imperial Court is beset with internal and external troubles and the Righteous Army is gathering, it’s remarkable that Lord Du is still so happy."

It seemed to imply that Du Fuwei had some connection with the Righteous Army.

Du Fuwei naturally retaliated, "Didn’t Chief Officer Yuchi also condescend to come here to see the treasure? Are you here with a heart full of unwavering loyalty? You must feel reluctant if that’s the case."

The two heads of Yangzhou’s officialdom were thus engaged in a battle of words, causing those nearby to dare not speak much. However, Sui Yi noticed that behind Du Fuwei were Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao.

These two were now quite spirited, wearing the uniforms of the Jianghuai Army. Especially Qin Shubao, a handsome young general full of heroism, attracting the affections of many wealthy merchants’ female companions.

However, they also saw Sui Yi, and they had some impression of this doctor, so they nodded in acknowledgment.

Then they followed Du Fuwei inside.

To be honest, as martial artists, they didn’t have much liking for these merchants who smelled heavily of money. As for this doctor mingling with these rich merchants, it didn’t seem a particularly strange phenomenon.

Once the two major officials went inside, Sui Yi didn’t linger in the courtyard, or rather, these wealthy merchants were conversing enthusiastically as they walked inside.

Upon entering, there stood an ancient, elegant suspended high-rise, but it wasn’t segregated. Instead, the interior was completely hollow, with two wide spiral wooden staircases stretching upward on both sides, there were corridors but did not obstruct the center, and if one looked up, they could see a complete view of the seven floors.

"This Wind Moon House is modeled after Yellow Crane Tower. Its interior design, however, is entirely inspired by the Outer Region, which is quite interesting."

"If you ask me, our Central Plains is still the best. Why learn from those barbarian country bumpkins from the Outer Region!"

These wealthy merchants talked incessantly, looking for opportunities to show off their knowledge, unaware that years later, the Central Plains’ infatuation with foreign things would astonish them.

"Come, Mr. Sui, come this way, let’s go to the second floor."

Sui Yi followed along, as it didn’t matter where she sat.

Upon reaching the second floor, she just sat down.

"Oh my, it’s them."

"Why did they come!"

Looking up, two individuals, one tall and one thin, strode over. The thin one was not as handsome as Qin Shubao, while the fat one appeared more frightening than Cheng Yaojin. At least Cheng Yaojin was chubby, a bit silly, but this fat guy was very fierce, his face crisscrossed with scars.

Sui Yi’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the dagger tucked at his waist. Due to his large build, it was hard for most people to notice the small dagger at his side.

Of course, the thin guy next to him was much more conspicuous, carrying two long spears on his back.

"You Gui, the chief protector of the Sea Sand Gang, and Ling Zhigao, the protector, the double-gun breaker"

Already sitting above on the third floor, Yuchi Sheng nonchalantly uttered these words, his eyes sharply focused on these two.

The entire place grew a bit restless.

Sea Sand Gang?

Among the three major gangs on the Southeast Coast, there’s the Sea Sand Gang, Water Dragon Gang, and Giant Leviathan Gang — Sea Sand Gang being one of them. Its leader, Han Gaitian, nicknamed Dragon King, was very famous in the Jianghu, and these two major protectors, one fat and one thin, were also quite well-known. However, these two were rarely seen by people from Yangzhou, but now they were here.

Could it be that the Sea Sand Gang wanted to get involved in Yangzhou’s affairs?

"What a coincidence, I recently wiped out a Water Sand Gang, and now you from the Sea Sand Gang arrived. Could it be you’re here for revenge?"

Du Fuwei spoke with a smile from above, but the meaning was profound.
