"This is a bit difficult to guard against."
Zhou Sen sighed and said, "I wonder if our commander has arrived at the designated location yet."
Wu Ming glanced at him and made a shushing gesture: "This place is a mixed bag, don't talk nonsense, we've been given a gag order."
The psychic special operations team also knew that Qin Che was not in Wind Keep.
In the eyes of others, Ding Wudao had already met with Qin Che, and now it was the diplomatic mission's turn to discuss the next steps with Fengbao.
But in this hall, who knows who might be an informant from the North?
Therefore, no one could be told about Qin Che's whereabouts.
They can't even talk.
Before the war began, they went to the South District and met with the leaders of places like Purple Castle and Boiler City, as well as many leaders of the city collective governments.
After the war began, they arrived in the Eastern District.
We began visiting them one by one, following the planned route.
Offer some benefits and profits, divide the spoils, and tightly bind the alliance together, leaving no chance for the Oasis.
But these are all things that can't be said for sure.
A traitor won't tell you that he has sided with the enemy.
Therefore, diplomatic missions are not decisive, but they can make logistical work smoother.
In the East District, besides Wind Fortress, Bunker, and Garbage Mountain, there are many other cities that collectively possess independent governments, but their autonomy is not strong, and they need to rely on Sandcastle and Wall One to survive.
With their help, powerful regimes like Wind Fortress, Bunker, and Garbage Mountain will all give them face.
Although Qin Che didn't come.
Ding Wudao didn't know what he was thinking.
However, Li Jiuyuan's status was also quite high.
He was already a veteran in the Eastern District, and high-ranking officials from the government, financial magnates, and powerful figures all treated Li Jiuyuan as an honored guest.
"We hope that both sides can reach an agreement and an ideological alliance."
"Wall One will fulfill your demands after the war, but only if the first line of defense on the front cannot be breached. We need Wind Fortress to provide full support, both militarily and logistically."
Ding Wudao smiled and said, "General Li, I have been aware of these matters for a long time and am willing to cooperate with the Cabinet. You are here this time not only to represent the Cabinet, but also to represent Sand Castle's intentions, right?"
Li Jiuyuan shook his head: "Mr. Ding, Sand Castle is now a directly administered district. We are all working for the cabinet and the Regent."
"That's true...that's true."
The two had a very pleasant conversation.
Ding Wudao was a middle-aged man, and his appearance today was a great show of respect, since the visitors were not Qin Che, but a diplomatic delegation. Ding Wudao was well aware of the weight of Li Jiuyuan's words.
He didn't want to think about where Qin Che was.
This is a military secret.
But he is willing to cooperate with superhumans.
Compared to the Oasis, Qin Che, this extraordinary individual, is a more worthy investment for them.
Just then!
A figure rushed out of the crowd, wielding a sharp blade, and stabbed it towards Li Jiuyuan's abdomen!
He was very close.
Li Jiuyuan had no time to react.
The next second, a scream erupted from the audience!
Someone's wine glass fell to the ground, and Ding Wudao stumbled back several steps, his face filled with shock and lingering fear.
Li Jiuyuan's face was icy cold. He gripped the sharp blade with one hand and held it in front of his abdomen, blood flowing from his palm!
The assassin, his face contorted with malice, gritted his teeth and tried to push the knife forward, but he underestimated Li Jiuyuan.
Li Jiuyuan had also served in the military.
Many people don't understand why Li Jiuyuan is called "Handsome Li." In reality, Li Jiuyuan is completely different from other tycoons and conglomerates.
He's skilled in both academics and martial arts!
"Young man, what are you trying to do?" Li Jiuyuan sneered and kicked out.
The assassin was kicked back several steps, the blade remaining in Li Jiuyuan's palm.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming, Zhou Sen, and the others rushed up and easily controlled the assassins without even using their psionic energy!
The scene was chaotic.
However, once the assassin was subdued, the chaotic noises quietly disappeared.
"Li Shuai, are you alright?!"
The diplomatic envoys from the think tank behind him stepped forward, their faces filled with worry.
Li Jiuyuan threw the blade on the ground, and Sun Qingling and Su Mu from the medical team came up to treat him.
The wound on his palm was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This put everyone at ease.
"Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly!"
Intelligence team leader Wei Tuozhi said calmly, "He's just an ordinary person. Without a doubt, he's an assassin sent from the North."
Li Jiuyuan snorted coldly: "Take him away and we'll talk about it later."
The assassin was taken away by the psionic special operations team, and the atmosphere at the scene quickly returned to normal, although everyone still seemed a little shaken and terrified.
“Mr. Ding, it seems that this meeting will have to be suspended for a while.”
Ding Wudao nodded, a faint look of worry on his face.
It was just a mere assassination attempt; to the high-ranking officials and top-level elders present, it was nothing.
Ding Wudao had also been assassinated several times, so he was used to it.
His concern was that this wouldn't end; once it happened the first time, there would be a second, a third, and it might even continue after Li Jiuyuan and the others left Fengbao.
Seeing this, Li Jiuyuan laughed and said, "That's why Duke Qin had the spiritual energy team stay by my side. They can protect me, so I'm not afraid of getting hurt. I've experienced too many of these things in the past when I was fighting."
Wu Ming and his team were Li Jiuyuan's source of confidence.
Intelligence, medical care, combat, defense, organization, and logistics.
With them around, the safety of the diplomatic corps will be greatly guaranteed.
