Chapter 103 Unexpected
The news was leaked again.
This is the first thought that flashed through Qinglong's mind.
What followed was naturally boundless anger.
Obviously, he did not expect that the news would be spread by Fang Xun, but believed that someone else had leaked the news.
He was already a little suspicious of Greedy Lang and others last time, but this time he was undoubtedly even more suspicious.
He used this as a means of coping with Tianlang and others.
However, as the investigation deepened further, he found that he might have blamed Tianlang and others for wrong reasons.
Because the people who came did not seem to be Jinyiwei, but from Dongchang.
As two terrifying yamen, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are very similar in their responsibilities and methods of doing things, but for Qinglong and other middle and senior officials of Tianyan Sect, it is not difficult to distinguish them.
He knew that despite the similar methods, the service styles of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were still different.
Of course, the biggest difference is that the difference between the two can be seen at a glance is a more conspicuous feature: there are eunuchs in the East Factory, while there are only military officers in the Jinyiwei.
...
East Factory.
This time, when I came to Shaoxing Prefecture, it was obviously for Fang Xun, and it was actually from Dongchang, which was much beyond Qinglong's expectations.
Because from the news I received before, Fang Xun should be a member of the Jinyiwei. Now the people from the East Factory disguised themselves as they entered Shaoxing Prefecture City and monitored Fang Xun. Did they want to pull out the nails of Fang Xun, the Jinyiwei?
Although the East Factory and the Jinyiwei have never been able to deal with each other, it is impossible to do such a direct encounter, right?
Since this is not the case, they just want to use Fang Xun as bait to fish?
After continuing to monitor for a few days and grasping more situations, Qinglong speculated the real situation to a great extent.
The only thing he didn't know was which fish Dongchang wanted to catch through Fang Xun's bait.
Could it be the successor of the Sword of Eternal Life?
Considering the relationship between Fang Xun and the successor of the Changsheng Sword, Qinglong could only draw this conclusion that he felt was impossible.
As for the reason, it's still the same as before.
The successor of Bai Shier, the Sword of the Eternal Life, is from the Jinyiwei. Unless the East Factory is willing to risk meeting the Jinyiwei, dealing with Bai Shier is to be an enemy of the entire Jinyiwei.
Does Dongchang, which has been suppressed since the Emperor of Heaven ascended the throne, really have such a great courage to do such a thing?
But if it weren't for the purpose of catching Bai Shier, then what big fish could Dongchang catch through Fang Xun?
Qinglong fell into deep thought.
But the seven Greedy Wolfs obviously didn't have that much thought. After discovering Fang Xun's whereabouts, they began to plan how to kill Fang Xun and try not to disturb the people in the East Factory.
They were not sure about Fang Xun's true strength and quickly made a plan. The three of them led away the East Factory spies who were monitoring Fang Xun. The remaining six of them went out together. At the fastest speed, they captured Fang Xun alive within a few breaths and retreated calmly.
However, after learning in detail how many spies from the East Factory were monitoring Fang Xun, Tianlang and others couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts.
Because they found that it seemed too unrealistic to attract a large number of Dongchang spies with just the power of three people.
In desperation, they had to seconded people from Qinglong.
But at this time, Qinglong was completely aroused by the purpose of Dongchang. He wanted to see which big fish the Dongchang had put in so much effort and use Fang Xun to catch.
Qinglong's idea was naturally ruthlessly mocked by Tianlang:
I deliberately leaked Fang Xun’s story to us, luring us to come and capture Fang Xun, and thus forced you to ask the whereabouts of the descendant of the Sword of Eternal Life. Now, a great opportunity is right in front of me, and you are the ones who want to give up. We will do whatever you say. Are we your useless subordinates?
But despite this, Qinglong still didn't let go, and the reason he gave was very simple:
This time, the Dongchang might be to use Fang Xun to lure the descendants of the Changsheng Sword to take the bait. They could watch the fire temporarily from the other side of the river, and after the Jinyiwei successfully lure it out, they would become the yellow bird behind.
Anyway, they have to face the Dongchang, so why not just choose to take action at one step and attack the successor of the Changsheng Sword, but instead try hard to capture Fang Xun alive and then ask the whereabouts of the descendant of the Changsheng Sword?
But Tan Lang obviously didn't think so.
In his opinion, "a bird in the forest is worse than a bird in hand."
Although Qinglong’s idea is good, there are too many variables.
Let’s not talk about anything else. The Dongchang Factory is coming to reinforce every day. Now they can still take advantage of the fact that the Dongchang has not yet noticed it. However, if there are more people coming to the Dongchang Factory and more careful arrangements, don’t mention whether they can break through the Dongchang’s defense line at that time. It will be a very difficult problem to continue to stay in Shaoxing City and not be discovered by the Dongchang Factory.
Moreover, the descendant of the Changsheng Sword has extraordinary sword skills. When he really comes to meet Fang Xun, even if he can avoid the many eyewitnesses in the East Factory by chance, the power required to capture the two of them alive will be much more than to capture Fang Xun alone alive.
With Qinglong's only two or three kittens left, will it really succeed then?
Tanlang is deeply suspicious of this.
However, when both sides have their own opinions and no one can convince each other, the development of things is obviously very beneficial to Qinglong.
After all, what Qinglong wanted was to drag it down so quietly and wait until the East Factory caught the fish.
But in contrast, for Tan Lang, the situation was obviously difficult to satisfy him.
When Qinglong insisted on his idea and did not let go, his idea of seconding people from Qinglong to complete his plan was destined to be difficult to achieve.
Unless he is willing to use Qinglong's men to lure the spies from the East Factory, he only uses them to fight for the nine people.
But this is a way to harm yourself and others, and it is still beneficial to Qinglong, a direct competitor. Even if Tianlang makes up his mind to decide to take a gamble, the other eight people obviously would not agree.
So, Tan Lang's plan was put on hold, and they could only passively stay in Shaoxing Prefecture City with Qinglong, waiting for the so-called big fish to take the bait.
As time passes day by day, even the Qinglong, who is confident in his heart, becomes upset over time.
And at this moment, Qinglong and the people from Dongchang received news almost at the same time.
The "big fish" seems to be finally showing up.
However, this big fish seems to be a little far from the one they have been looking forward to for a long time.
...
"What? Six doors?!"
When Qinglong heard the news reported by his subordinates, he was undoubtedly shocked.
He didn't expect that the big fish that the East Factory was fishing would have six doors.
Chapter completed!
