Tang Jian did catch the fish behind him as planned, but unfortunately it wasn't the big fish he had imagined.
It turns out that the reason those human traffickers chose to abduct people on the night of the Lantern Festival was indeed because they intended to cause trouble.
However, this was only on the surface. Their main purpose was to obtain the steel knife; trafficking those children was merely a way to divert Cheng Wang and Tang Jian's attention.
Since Tang Jian led his elite troops and defeated the Wuyi army in just two or three months with the speed of cutting melons and vegetables.
The weapons they carried attracted the attention of others.
After all, with so many people talking, it was fine before the steel knife was taken out, but once it was taken out, more people found out.
Especially within their own military camps, there were always acquaintances who would gradually spread the word, and the secret of the steel knife was thus revealed.
With a sharp and hard weapon like a steel knife, an iron knife is easily defeated.
Naturally, it will attract attention, with people wanting to obtain the formula for the steel knife.
However, the manufacturing process and formula for the steel blades were always in the hands of King Cheng, and no one even knew where the weapon manufacturing base was located.
They were protected by King Cheng without any flaws.
However, even the most secure places can be detected by others. After a period of careful investigation, those people circled out a few of the most suspicious places.
I plan to find an opportunity to go in and explore, but those places are all very secure and difficult to avoid attracting attention.
Unable to find a way to break through, those people came up with a plan: to cause trouble and make it bigger.
Focusing everyone's attention on trafficked children
That's how those human traffickers came to be.
The Lantern Festival is the perfect time to hold the event, as everyone is busy celebrating and joining in the fun, and the guards at those suspicious locations will likely be more lax.
If something goes wrong at the city's lantern festival, King Cheng will surely be furious and then send troops to investigate the human traffickers.
Those people can then take this opportunity to sneak into those places to investigate.
The plan was indeed excellent, and they almost succeeded.
King Cheng and Tang Jian had no idea that someone was using a diversionary tactic. In that situation, everyone's anger was focused on the human traffickers, and they only wanted to catch them and tear them to pieces. They didn't think about anything else.
Those people just didn't expect that Tang Jian would find the human traffickers' hiding place so quickly and have someone guard it, solving the problem in less than a night.
Even so, it didn't affect their plan, and they successfully infiltrated those places.
They originally thought that even if these places didn't have the recipe for the steel knife, they would find other secrets. Otherwise, why would King Cheng have so many people guarding them so closely?
There must be some unspeakable secret.
Who knew what they would find when they went inside?
pig!
Hundreds of smelly pigs!
Even if those pigs are fatter than ordinary pigs, it doesn't change the fact that they are pigs!
It wasn't just pigs, but also some clods of dirt and yellow sticks—anything that didn't look like anything good.
Those people panicked, thinking that their plan had been exposed, which was why King Cheng was using these things to lure them online.
The leader panicked and, disregarding everything else, shouted, "We've fallen for their trap! Run!"
He exposed himself directly, called over the guards, and when the two sides clashed, almost all of them were wiped out.
However, two people still managed to escape, and the remaining spies numbered more than ten when they were captured.
