But he would have to wait a long time before he could see the moon in his heart again.
On the next morning, this letter had just been sent, and the letter written by Qu Yunmie three days ago was also delivered.
Xiao Rong opened it expressionlessly, and sure enough, there were only two sentences on it.
To sum up: everything is going according to plan and I am still alive.
Xiao Rong thought, you'd better die. ...
After throwing the letter aside in annoyance, Xiao Rong opened the one from Jian Qiao. Ever since Jian Qiao met Yuan Baifu, he seemed to have fallen into a disaster victim's mentality. No matter what Yuan Baifu did, he thought there was something wrong, and he had to write it down and tell Xiao Rong so that Xiao Rong could make the decision. If Xiao Rong really said that there was something wrong with him, Jian Qiao would probably rush over and take Yuan Baifu down the next second after receiving the letter.
But to be fair...there's really nothing wrong with Hara Momofuku's performance.
He was also in the army, especially Jian Qiao was staring at him nervously. If he met an outsider, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Jian Qiao's eyes. Moreover, this was not the right time. The army had not really fought with the Xianbei people yet. Everything was unknown. Even if Yuan Baifu wanted to rebel, he was not looking for death. If he betrayed at this time, Qu Yunmie would no longer pay attention to the Xianbei people. He would immediately kill Yuan Baifu and then deal with the Xianbei people. ...
So it’s not him. The person or thing that will affect Qu Yunmie’s luck is still lurking beneath the surface.
Xiao Rong felt like a headless fly. He couldn't find the hidden malice, but he didn't want to just sit there and wait for death. Although this incident only caused him to faint, which meant that the matter was serious but not serious enough to be irreversible, you have to know that the judgment mechanism of the system is not that sensitive, and its role is only to warn Xiao Rong and let him clearly feel the decline in his luck value, but it will not torture Xiao Rong like this all the time, so whether he fainted or vomited blood, he would recover after a while.
But this does not mean that the matter has been resolved. It may even still be fermenting, but the system will no longer remind him.
There is a saying that one can steal for a thousand days but cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even if Xiao Rong wanted to do so, his energy would not allow it. After all, he was just a fake charlatan. He had no ability to predict and foresee things. Things that were beyond his ability were beyond his control.
Although his mentality towards the strike had improved, his anxious mentality had not changed. Although he knew that his efforts were just a drop in the bucket, Xiao Rong still went through all the people in his mind who might threaten Qu Yunmie, and then investigated and tossed them one by one. …
For example, in the case of Huang Yanjiong, the solution is to investigate what he did before he set out to see if there was any conspiracy involved. But for huge forces like Nanyong and Qingfeng Sect, even if Xiao Rong wanted to find out what they were doing, he couldn't do it.
Their spies and agents have been developed for decades or even hundreds of years. The scale of theirs is really not comparable to that of a small Chenliu.
So Xiao Rong's solution to this is, if I can't investigate you, then I will not let you investigate me either. Let's see if you still have the energy to deal with the things in the front yard after your backyard is on fire.
Xiao Rong quickly printed a batch of excellent articles from the collection, and then sent people south to post them in the big teahouses and restaurants in Nanyong. He also asked people to find the local wealthy families and explain that he wanted to open a theater in the south, and ask them if they were interested in joining in.
After the Thousands of Literary Anthologies were finished, those scholars were still discussing this matter even when they returned to the south. Jinling was already in a state of panic, and they had to listen to this group of literati shaking people's hearts. Sun Renluan even ordered them not to talk about Chenliu anymore. However, the behavior of controlling the mouths and pens of literati has always been criticized by the literati. They were quiet for a while and did not criticize Sun Renluan for controlling the government. Now, they remembered it again and continued to bombard Sun Renluan with articles. ...
As for the other force, the Qingfeng Sect, Chen Jiancheng was not affected at all, after all, he was in Xiakou, and Xiao Rong's hand could not reach that far. But the people he arranged in Chenliu were tormented. Xiao Rong spent a whole night organizing an operation to catch spies, and most of the spies he arranged in Chenliu were arrested. The Qingfeng Sect has a lot of believers, and generally speaking, the local believers will protect the safety of these spies. They cried and begged the officials to release them. When there were thousands of people begging for mercy, no official could withstand such pressure.
The problem is that Chenliu is different. There is a Buddhist in Chenliu, and also Gao Xunzhi who firmly believes in Taoism. The former has a large number of fans, and those fans are still increasing. The latter supports local Taoist temples and regards Qingfeng Sect as heresy. He drives them away when he sees them, without giving them any face at all.
This resulted in there being no room for the Qingfeng Sect to grow within Chenliu. Even though the spies had been working very hard to recruit believers, they were still no match for the two giants.
This was not what made Chen Jiancheng most angry. After hearing that Xiao Rong had detained all the spies he had captured and interrogated them one by one, he finally could not sit still anymore.
In his room, Chen Jiancheng was so angry that he was jumping up and down. He kept insulting Xiao Rong. He no longer looked like a sage at all. At this moment, he looked like a street thug, and a furious one at that.
After a fit of rage, Chen Jiancheng ordered his men to go to Chenliu immediately to bring back those of his people who had not been exposed. As for those who had already been captured, there was no need to worry about them.
After giving the order, Chen Jiancheng tidied himself up and hurried to find Zhou Liang. He pretended well, as if nothing had happened, but Zhou Liang could still see through his cowardice. Last time when he talked about killing Qu Yunmie, he was quite calm, but this time Zhou Liang really noticed the urgency that he inadvertently revealed.
Zhou Liang didn't understand where his change came from, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no harm in it for him.
If it works, his position in the Qingfeng Sect will be secure; if it doesn't, he is just a person who gives advice, and Qu Yunmie won't be able to take revenge on him.
So, after a moment of silence, Zhou Liang asked Chen Jiancheng: "Master, you know everything in the world without leaving your house. Do you know that Huang Yanjiong attacked his nephew Huang Keji after leaving Chenliu?"
Chen Jiancheng nodded: "I know."
Zhou Liang smiled: "Huang Yanjiong claimed that Huang Keji accidentally fell off a cliff and his life or death was unknown. But according to my understanding of Huang Yanjiong, if he kills Huang Keji, he will definitely kill him. If he really killed Huang Keji, he would not announce such an ambiguous result. The reason why he did this can only mean that Huang Keji is not dead at all, and he does not know Huang Keji's whereabouts. He is afraid that he will appear again in the future, so he left room for himself to defend himself in advance. Let me ask you, Master, Huang Keji is just a boy, how could he escape from Huang Yanjiong and still not show up?"
Chen Jiancheng looked at Zhou Liang sincerely and said, "There are also followers of my Qingfeng Sect in Yanmen County. I know Huang Keji has already arrived in Yanmen County. Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me what to do."
Zhou Liang: “…………”
He silently wrote Chen Jiancheng's name on the must-kill list in his mind, and then he said to Chen Jiancheng in a concise manner: "The solution lies in these two people. Qu Yunmie spared Huang Keji's life, probably because he wanted to use Huang Keji to curb Huang Yanjiong's limelight, but no matter what, Huang Yanjiong is a member of the Huang family, and he would not kill Huang Yanjiong himself. This is his fatal flaw. He was burdened by the favor, but he didn't know what kind of beast Huang Yanjiong was. This strategy must not have been thought of by Qu Yunmie, but by Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong has the same shortcomings as others. They all believe that you should leave a way out when doing things, so as not to force people into a dead end."
Just like before, if he and Xiao Rong had switched places, he would have executed all of them on the day he discovered Huang Yanjiong's intention, not even a single one of them would be left alive, no matter if it was Huang Yanjiong or Huang Keji. Reputation was important, but if it became a burden, then they should be eliminated, and there was absolutely no reason to let them live to see the next day.
This is what Zhou Liang despised most about Xiao Rong, and it is also the reason why Zhou Liang felt the most superior to Xiao Rong. He thought Xiao Rong was too kind and not as vicious as himself, so he could not compare to himself. …
Thinking of this, Zhou Liang was in a very good mood, and even smiled a little more to Chen Jiancheng. He chuckled and said, "Whatever Xiao Rong is unwilling to do, the leader can do it for him. Please believe me, no one in this world knows Huang Yanjiong better than me. His ambition is huge and has lasted for many years. For Huang Yanjiong, killing him is not as serious as destroying his great cause. A mad beast is not something that people can resist."
