Chapter 497 499 First Attack
After the main root of the dead blood tree was pulled out, the expansion of the underground roots finally stopped, but it did not completely lose its activity. In order to clean up the tiny underground roots, the entire pharmaceutical research institute was almost turned upside down. Because the Meteorological Bureau predicted that there would be heavy rain in a week, this huge cleanup project mobilized the biochemical troops and took three days to complete.
In order to ensure the safety of the capital, the soldiers whose bodies were penetrated by blood nematodes and the researchers whose blood was sucked by the tiny roots of the dead blood tree all underwent strict physical examinations and were isolated.
Ning Qingyun and Rong Xianxian played a huge role in resolving this crisis. The authorities will definitely reward them for this behavior. The specific rewards still need to be discussed.
After Ning Qingyun received the mission reward and returned to the base, he learned from Mingyan that Xiao Luo had been ambushed twice. Although there was no concrete evidence, Rong Xianxian was certain that it was Gong Hanyu who sent people to do it.
Ning Qingyun immediately issued an order, ordering Chai Ming and Huo Ye to split into two groups and attack the Gong family’s two bases outside the safe zone early the next morning.
"Captain, should we investigate this matter? What if it wasn't the Gong family who did it..." Chai Ming didn't finish his words and automatically shut his mouth under Ning Qingyun's cold gaze.
Seeing that the atmosphere was bad, Huo Ye immediately pulled Chai Ming out.
"The boss has given the order, you just need to execute it. What are you complaining about? Don't you know that you are still a criminal?" Huo Ye said helplessly.
"I...you just returned to the capital and don't know the situation in the capital. In order to destroy the boss's power in the capital, the uncle of the Gong family has secretly used a lot of means. What if this was not done by the Gong family, but a conspiracy of the Ning family, wouldn't we have provoked a powerful enemy again? This is very bad for our current situation!" Chai Ming said worriedly.
"Aming, you have always been very smart. Why can't you think straight recently? Ever since your madam came to Beijing and Gong Hanyu brought people to search the house, the Gong family was destined to be our enemy. How can we talk about whether to provoke them or not?" Huo Ye said curiously.
"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. It may be resolved through mediation. But if we really attack the Gong family's base this time, we will be enemies forever!" Chai Ming had his concerns.
"Let's make enemies. As long as the madam and the boss reconcile, it's worth it even if we really hit the wrong person!" Huo Ye had seen Rong Xianxian's strength. Every member of their Tianhe Mercenary Group was brave and good at fighting. If everyone could be equipped with weapons, armor and elixirs provided by Rong Xianxian, they would be invincible.
"Besides, there is another advantage to attacking the Gong family's base. When the boss was in the secret realm, we had no background and could not move freely. We missed the best opportunity to divide the territory outside the safe zone. After the boss came back, he ran to Jindu without stopping. Now all the good places are occupied. Haven't we been looking for a suitable base for some time? I think these two bases of the Gong family are good. What's more, we have a legitimate reason now, so we just need to win!" Huo Ye agreed with Ning Qingyun's decision.
Upon learning that Ning Qingyun was preparing to attack the Gong family's base, Rong Xianxian took out most of the high-quality weapons and leather armor in the Sibao Building's inventory and gave them to him, as well as many elixirs and talismans.
When the two met, Ning Qingyun mentioned that for Xiao Luo's safety, he planned to use the merits of this time to place two confidants in Feilong Academy, but was stopped by Rong Xianxian.
Not to mention whether the leaders of Feilong College would agree, placing spies in this matter needs to be done secretly. If too many people know about it, it will be of no use.
"What if someone attacks the child again? If something really happens, it will be useless even if I take revenge!" Ning Qingyun felt hatred and fear in his heart when he thought about someone plotting against the child.
"Finding someone to look after the child and protect his safety does not necessarily require placing a confidant in there. It's not like doing deadly things like gathering intelligence or assassinating. I have already arranged people. As long as you make a name for yourself this time, no one will dare to cause trouble again!" Ning Qingyun's attitude made Rong Xianxian feel much more comfortable.
Most of the members of the Tianhe Mercenary Group fought their way back to the capital from the northwest. Their average cultivation level is at the peak of the Chongmai Realm. They are all elite soldiers. They have just returned to the capital with Ning Qingyun after a mission. Each of them is full of bravery, and when they are together, they are full of murderous aura.
Ning Qingyun emptied a small armory this time. He had all kinds of bombs and hot weapons, plus the cold weapons, elixirs, talismans and armor supported by Rong Xianxian. It only took them more than half an hour to capture the two bases of the Gong family.
This was the first time Ning Qingyun took action in the capital after the end of the world.
After the end of the world, communications were cut off. Ning Qingyun's main fighting force, Huoye Chai Ming and others, were training in the northwest. When Ning Qingyun rescued and settled their families and was about to take them back to Chongzhou, Yunshan and Ying Cai'e colluded and betrayed him. Later, he was trapped in a secret realm and was not able to escape until it snowed. After leaving the secret realm, he went to Jindu to find Rong Xianxian and rescue Chang Qing and others. After returning to the capital, he was busy completing missions to make money. His opponents have always been monsters. This is the first time he has shown his skills in front of various forces in the capital.
The bigwigs from all sides in the capital knew that Ning Qingyun possessed a rare super-S-level cultivation qualification and had strong personal combat power. They also knew that he had a five-star mercenary group. However, they did not expect that Ning Qingyun's first move would shock the entire capital.
It took Ning Qingyun's men just over half an hour to dismantle the defenses of the Gong family's base and plant the flag of the Tianhe Mercenary Group on these two pieces of land. Many people even began to suspect that the Gong family was just a name in name and was actually vulnerable.
After Gong Hanyu got the news, she was so angry that she overturned her favorite table and almost broke her teeth.
Zhou Jinxiu huddled quietly in the corner, looking at the furious Gong Hanyu, sighing in her heart. Her young lady was talented, beautiful, and had status. She could like anyone else, but why couldn't she let go of Ning Qingyun?
"Bang, bang, bang," just as Gong Hanyu was furious, there was knock on the door.
Zhou Jinxiu opened the door and saw the old housekeeper who often served the old master. The old housekeeper turned a blind eye to the mess in the house and relayed the old master's order to Gong Hanyu in a calm tone, "The master hopes that the young lady can restore the family's lost reputation in the shortest possible time. If you can't do it, he will have to replace someone else to be the future master."
After the old housekeeper left, Gong Hanyu sat quietly in the chair in a daze. She looked at the ceiling with empty and confused eyes, and Ning Qingyun's faint smile seemed to flash before her eyes.
