Ghost Soldiers Robbery Case (I)

"Curious about why I'm here... Good question." Since everyone here today is one of her own, Startled Salamander didn't hide anything. Although she didn't go into detail about what happened last night, a brief summary was enough to explain the reason, "The reason is simple, I'm under his control... Moreover, now, the Net branch in Xinzheng has been taken over by him. For me, although I haven't submitted to him yet, this place is already an isolated island with no one to rely on."

Perhaps for Startled Salamander.

This is simply a fact.

Of course, Han Fei and the others did not question this fact.

They simply couldn't believe what had happened.

As a result, Ye Qingcang took control of the Net branch.

You must understand that control means capture alive. It's difficult to capture an ordinary person alive, let alone the group of assassins from the Net!

Therefore, Han Fei subconsciously leaned back.

He stopped drinking alcohol.

They made no attempt to hide their curiosity.

He said frankly, "Brother Ye, you've truly given us a wonderful surprise, but... this surprise shouldn't have included any element of shock, right? Xinzheng is currently on the eve of Storm is Coming; if we drag the Net into this, the situation will become uncontrollable!"

"Since it's about control..."

It is also jokingly called an isolated island.

"What they're doing is putting on a show of outward compliance while secretly going against the grain."

Wei Zhuang only pondered for a moment.

In the short time it took Han Fei to speak, he roughly guessed the truth.

Even he couldn't understand the inside story.

For example, what methods did Ye Qingcang actually use?

The assassins from the Net organization should be death squads.

Their loyalty to the Net is unwavering.

But none of that matters.

He was different from Han Fei, Han Fei was the kind of person who was naturally outgoing and a little unreliable. He liked to talk about many things openly, even if some of them were taboo, unmentionable, or untouchable in the eyes of others. Han Fei didn't care about such things.

Because he takes the path of treating people with sincerity.

As long as they're not heartless people.

They would all be impressed by him.

But he was different.

As a disciple of Ghost Valley.

He knew very well that some secrets shouldn't be asked.

Therefore, he wouldn't ask unless Ye Qingcang and Startled Salamander told him.

However, Ye Qingcang is the same as Han Fei.

They also follow the same path of treating people with sincerity.

Smiling, he walked to the table and sat in the seat that Hong Lian had deliberately reserved for him. He nodded to Hong Lian first, and then explained to Han Fei, "Don't worry, this is just a surprise, not a shock... In fact, I didn't plan to say anything if she hadn't brought it up, because there's really no need to talk about such a small matter... As for your concerns, Brother Han, I can guess a bit. You're just afraid of the reaction of Net after they find out about this. As the saying goes, 'a scholar encountering a soldier, reason is useless.' If Net really sends out a few Heaven Ranked Assassin, even if Han King comes, it'll be useless, because they won't play this game with you... However, as Brother Wei Zhuang said, my actions are a combination of outward compliance and inward defiance, so Net's headquarters can be said to be completely unaware. In their eyes, the branch in Xinzheng is as usual, doing whatever it is, without affecting the issuance and acceptance of missions. It just means that I will see the orders from headquarters and the results of the assassins' actions before they are received."

This is what is known as a situation of outward compliance but inward defiance.

It slowly erodes the interior.

The corresponding approach is Thunderclap Academy and decisive.

To put it bluntly, they completely overturned the table and wiped out all the Net members in Xinzheng, so much so that the Net headquarters couldn't contact this branch. Whether they came to investigate what happened or to form an encirclement, they were exposed instantly.

The former is more difficult than the latter.

Moreover, the risks are extremely high.

But the latter is simpler than the former.

At least when time is limited, the latter's efficiency is undeniable.

"As for how I did it..."

Ye Qingcang smiled.

He drew out his words slightly.

At the same time, clench your fist and then open it.

Four pills, each the size of a fingernail, appeared between his fingers.

Perhaps it should be called an embryo.

Because the pills were made from medicinal mud.

And this embryo is made of flesh and blood.

Then, he placed them on the table, allowing Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, and Zi Nu to silently examine the four spherical objects, the nature of which they were unknown. "The secret to my ability to make the Net branch in Xinzheng City obey lies in these... If you are interested, you can each take one and conduct an experiment on some damned people... The specific method is to control the person, and then stick this thing on their body. Note that it only works if it is stuck to the skin. Do not crush it when using it. Stimulate it with your Internal Force, and then press it on, and it will automatically adhere... Depending on the degree of control, it will take effect in a minute if it is fast, and seven or eight minutes if it is slow. At that time, you will understand everything... If you don't need it, you can return the controlled people, which will free up four useful slots for me."

"It sounds like a Gu worm that can control people."

Zi Nu picked up one and gently squeezed it.

After confirming that this thing is elastic.

She raised her eyebrows slightly.

He glanced at Ye Qingcang with a half-smile, then suggested, "Since Young Lord Ye is unwilling to elaborate, then we can try it ourselves... But Young Lord Ye should still be careful. The Han Kingdom once had the Baiyue region, and the Baiyue region had a deep understanding of Gu worms. After the destruction of Baiyue, some people in the Han Kingdom naturally obtained some research results... As for Gu worms, they might have countermeasures. Young Lord Ye, you'd better not be careless."

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Zi Nu."

Ye Qingcang cupped his hands in greeting.

He can still tell the difference between good and bad words.

Zi Nu are not bad.

It's just that I like to leave some things unsaid.

Just name names directly. For example, that Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei, who relies on raising Gu poison to extract the blood of young girls to maintain his youth and enhance his power, is a typical example of unorthodox and evil techniques.

In addition, he also controlled Tian Ze and others through Gu worms.

Of course.

That happened later.

At present, perhaps Zi Nu's investigation is not clear enough.

Therefore, she left some room for maneuver when she spoke.

But not all of them are good.

This concern and reminder are still well-intentioned.

Both out of courtesy and reason, he should thank him.

However, there's no need to dwell on such a minor incident here, nor is it necessary to express gratitude for an extended period. Changing the subject, the conversation shifted to another level. "Speaking of which, we haven't even celebrated Brother Han Fei's appointment as Minister of Justice yet! He's been granted such a position without any formalities, and a single day is sufficient—this treatment is truly astonishing!"

"Wasn't it because I did the work in between?"

Hong Lian gave a proud snort.

The main theme is arrogance and self-importance.

Make sure that every bit of credit is remembered.

All I can say is that he still has the temper of a child.

Only children, after achieving even the smallest success, are afraid that others won't see it, and thus strive to express themselves and prove their abilities.

However, she is the darling of the group.

No one will try to discourage her.

Zi Nu even added with a smile, "Ninth Young Master, why don't you quickly thank Sister Hong Lian... or she might get upset and dismiss you again?"
