"Xiaojiu, why are you so flustered? What's wrong?" Ah Xiu noticed that Xiaojiu was panting, as if he had something urgent to report.

"Huh... Sister Xiu, where are Brother Tongxi and Brother Yunxuan? I have urgent information to report to them..." Xiaojiu held on to the pillar while breathing the air greedily.

For Chen Yunxuan's forces, this intelligence is of vital importance. Knowing it one second earlier means a greater chance of winning.

"Yunxuan just went into Tongxi's room and said he wanted to discuss something with him. Let me take you to find them." After Ah Xiu finished speaking, she took Xiaojiu to find them.

Ah Xiu knocked on the door and identified herself.

Lin Tongxi opened the door and found Xiaojiu sweating profusely.

Seeing Xiaojiu's expression, anyone would know that something very urgent had happened.

"Xiaojiu, what's wrong?" Lin Tongxi hurriedly invited the two in and poured them a cup of tea.

Although they were nominally master and servant, in reality they were not bound by etiquette and regarded each other as brothers and sisters.

Xiaojiu didn't say much, but just handed the information to the two of them.

The two couldn't help but wonder what was so important... Could it be that thing?

When they called, they found that Ding Nanjing had died of illness just as they expected.

After learning that Ding Nanjing was seriously ill, they had already prepared countermeasures.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon...

The two continued to read the intelligence and discovered an even more painful fact.

The letter said that General Wen intended to rebel, but had been suppressed by General Mao Dehui's troops.

The names of Huo Yun and Gan Xingfan were also on the list of those eliminated...

As for Ding Nanjing's second son, Ding Kang'an, the current prefect of Yunmeng County, he is considered to be the culprit of this incident.

To confirm the information, Lin Tongxi asked symbolically, "Is the source of the information reliable?"

"It's reliable. Two spies also sent similar information." Xiao Jiu said, and took out two more letters.

After reading the letter, the two looked at each other.

This is terrible, because General Wen and Gan Xingfan are their backers.

Now that their backer has fallen, what should they do?

Will they continue to obey Ding Qicong's rule? But they have already been branded with the mark of the Wen family army.

Ding Qicong was a coward. Although he was the governor of Xiangzhou on the surface, the actual power was still controlled by Mao Dehui.

In addition, another letter mentioned that Ding Qicong was assisted by Mao Dehui and Pang Xiang, both of whom had been offended by Chen Yunxuan and Lin Tongxi.

If I just join Ding Qichong's camp, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died.

"The worst situation has indeed occurred. Brother Yunxuan, what do you think we should do? Should we activate the last emergency plan?" Lin Tongxi asked Chen Yunxuan for his opinion.

"This is the only way. Even though it's late, we must hold a meeting as soon as possible to discuss this matter." Chen Yunxuan nodded, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Well, Xiaojiu and Axiu, you two go and notify the rest of the team to hold a meeting, still at the usual place." Lin Tongxi gave the order.

The two of them quickly stood up and started looking for other people.

Lin Tongxi sighed and walked out of the house with Chen Yunxuan.

The sky tonight is particularly gloomy, so gloomy that there is no moon to appreciate.

It seemed that the calm before the storm was finally over and they had to face the storm head-on.

Several people quickly gathered in a large house, which was a place specially used for team meetings.

Those who attended the meeting included Lin Tongxi, Chen Yunxuan, Su Ruoxue, Yue Lingyun, Xiaojiu, Ye Moqing, Axiu, Shen Xingyao, and Wei Zhaoshan, all of whom are members of Lin Tongxi's team and currently hold important positions in the county.

"This incident happened suddenly. If it didn't concern our fate, Brother Tongxi and I wouldn't have summoned everyone at this time." Chen Yunxuan coughed a few times and then quickly got to the point: "Okay, let's get straight to the point. Xiaojiu, repeat the information you just gave us."

Xiaojiu nodded, and then told the story of Ding Nanjing's death and General Wen being killed by Mao Dehui.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

General Wen was quite famous in Xiangzhou. He had successfully repelled attacks from Lu Ganhai, Yu Xianluo and Xie Wenzhou many times and had made outstanding military achievements.

The Wen family army he trained was well-disciplined and well-trained, and was considered a rare good army by the people.

However, such an important general was labeled as a "traitor".

His confidants Huo Yun, Gan Xingfan and others were outstanding in their abilities and made considerable military achievements.

During Chen Yunxuan's administration of the local area, these generals of the Wen family army provided Chen Yunxuan with a lot of help, but now they are dead.

Several people couldn't help but sigh, but after a moment of silence, they finally discussed the next step.

"Everyone, it seems we have to activate the last set of plans." Lin Tongxi sighed, then asked A Xiu to take out the map.

The so-called last set of plans is to confront the current Xiangzhou governor and establish one's own faction.

However, independence also requires corresponding strength. If there is only the strength of one county, it is obviously unable to compete with the Xiangbei forces headed by Ding Qichong.

To this end, Lin Tongxi and his team had to start from the relatively scattered southern part of Xiangzhou.

During this period of operation, a trade network with Wangchen County as its core has been initially formed.

In addition, Lin Tongxi has also arranged for Xiaojiu to expand the intelligence network in all directions, with the four counties of Xiangnan as the focus.

It now appears that these two measures have achieved initial penetration into the four counties of Xiangnan.

But infiltration alone is not enough. Only when the other three counties are truly under their jurisdiction will Lin Tongxi and his men feel at ease.

Of course, Lin Tongxi and his men did not want to attack through force alone, as this would only weaken the vitality of both sides.
