An Moxue walked around and gained a detailed understanding of the layout of the Kuroda family's old residence. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she noticed a new aura invading her. She couldn't help but wonder, this aura is so familiar, how could it be?
Wu Sicheng noticed it too, and a smile appeared in his eyes. It seems that being early is not as good as being at the right time; this was an unexpected encounter!
Therefore, the two tacitly chose to leave the Kuroda family and investigate each other's backgrounds once again.
Wu Sicheng followed An Moxue out of the Kuroda family compound. Just as An Moxue was about to launch an attack, Wu Sicheng spoke first: "It's me, don't make a move."
An Moxue was taken aback. It really was him. She said, "Let's retreat first, and then find a safe place to talk."
Then, when Boris saw their leader emerge from the Kuroda family compound with a strange man, his eyes were filled with wariness and questions.
An Moxue spoke up: "Boris, he's one of us."
Although Boris lowered his guard, he remained wary in his heart.
The three people left the Kuroda family in two cars: Boris in one car and An Moxue and Wu Sicheng in the other.
In the car, An Moxue asked in quick succession, "Why are you here? When did you arrive? Do you have a mission?"
Wu Sicheng said, "I happened to hear some news that the Kuroda family was attacked by an unknown force, so I thought I'd come and join in the fun. What a coincidence! Mo Xue, did you also hear the news and come here? When did you arrive? Would you say we're on the same wavelength?"
An Moxue rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Keep making things up, keep making things up, and see if I believe you or not?"
Wu Sicheng spouted nonsense with a straight face: "How can you say it's made up? This is the truth. Judging from your expression, you're planning to take down the Kuroda family! How about we join forces?"
An Moxue stared at him intently after hearing his words, making him feel guilty. He said ingratiatingly, "Moxue, don't look at me like that. It makes me feel really uncomfortable, especially since I'm driving! This is my first time here, and it's dark. I'm not familiar with the route and I'm afraid I'll get lost."
After he finished speaking, An Moxue slowly turned her head, looked ahead, and said, "Does your grandfather know you're here? Does your father know?"
This time, Wu Sicheng honestly replied, "I know, I know, and they didn't object."
An Moxue snorted coldly and said, "You don't agree either, do you? What did you tell them? You didn't betray me, did you?"
Wu Sicheng said ingratiatingly, "No, don't worry, I didn't mention you at all. I only said that I wanted to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble for the Kuroda family."
An Moxue asked again, "Are you alone?"
Wu Sicheng honestly replied, "No, I brought a ten-man team, my private team. They started their operation tonight. I came to probe the Kuroda family's strength and see what the next step should be."
An Moxue asked, "Where did they go?"
Wu Sicheng gave the addresses of the two strongholds, and An Moxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness, they don't overlap with my people. If they did, we might accidentally get into a fight and suffer some damage, which would be such a waste."
Wu Sicheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, they scouted the place before the operation and didn't find any suspicious people before choosing it."
"Alright! When we get back, let's exchange information to avoid fighting each other. That would be a lot of fun."
Wu Sicheng and An Moxue returned to their lodgings. An Moxue asked, "Is this a temporary place for you to stay, or do you already have a base here?"
Wu Sicheng said, "Didn't you plan to take down the Kuroda family a long time ago? Ever since I found out about this, I've been planning it, so I've already prepared a foothold. It's not temporary, so it won't attract too much attention."
"That's good."
Upon arriving at An Moxue's lodging, the two did not rest but immediately exchanged information. After Wu Sicheng understood everything, he discussed the division of labor with An Moxue. Learning that An Moxue had her own dedicated ship for transporting combat supplies, he unceremoniously offered to help them transport the supplies as well.
So the two groups merged, acted simultaneously, and had a clear division of labor.
After the two finished discussing all the matters, Wu Sicheng drove away.
The next day, An Moxue received a message from her subordinates that five strongholds had been successfully destroyed the previous night, and Wu Sicheng's side had also destroyed two strongholds, both in the capital.
In less than a week, the Kuroda family's local power was completely destroyed, and the mysterious force was unable to find any clues.
Among them, An Moxue and Wu Sicheng discovered that a small portion of the Kuroda family's branches were not destroyed by them at all, but by other local forces who seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The various factions in the Wa-nu Kingdom became much more cautious, taking the opportunity to strengthen their defenses, while some were eager to try their luck.
Moreover, some legends about the Kuroda family have appeared on the market at some point, making the truth of the matter even more elusive.
The two sat together, discussing their next steps. Wu Sicheng asked, "Mo Xue, what do you think?"
An Moxue said, "My goal is simple: to destroy their powerful family, prevent them from doing anything bad again, and then take as many cultural relics and antiques as possible that originally belonged to our country. Now it seems that the fat meat is there, and the opportunity has arrived. Jackals and tigers all want a piece of the pie; it all depends on who acts quickly and ruthlessly enough. Right now, the remaining forces of the Kuroda family are not a threat, but that night, the Kuroda family's old mansion hid many experts, more than we expected. This is a bit troublesome. Moreover, a century-old mansion has experienced a lot; it's definitely not as simple as it appears inside. We need to think about this carefully."
Wu Sicheng said, "I do have an idea. Have you noticed their house construction?"
An Moxue said, "It's all made of wood, why?" Then, a thought struck her, and she asked, "Fire attack?"
Wu Sicheng said, "Well, aren't you good at making medicine? We can also take advantage of the weather and add some medicine to the fire while setting it on fire, especially if it has the kind of medicinal effect that spreads with the fire, that would be even better."
An Moxue pondered. As the fire spread, it would also affect martial artists. She needed to think it over carefully.
Wu Sicheng watched her lower her head in thought, planning her remaining time; she would probably have to return to the team a few days later.
The two were each preoccupied with their own thoughts, not disturbing each other, yet they were remarkably harmonious.
After a while, An Moxue said, "I've got it. There's a medicine, but I have to prepare it on the spot. I'll write down a list and have them prepare it immediately. Once I've prepared the medicine, we'll get started."
Then, for the rest of the time, everyone worked together with An Moxue to make gunpowder bows and arrows.
So, the next evening, the prepared group, along with the gunpowder bows and arrows that everyone had helped make, set off for the Kuroda family's old residence.
