Chapter 2880 Master Qingsong 98.0
Song Yaojia glanced at Jin Miaomiao, who seemed lost in thought, and chuckled softly.

"Judging from your expression, it seems you're still not quite done?"

"No, it's just that something feels a bit strange."

"What's weird?"

Jin Miaomiao touched her nose, looked at Song Yaojia, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and carefully considered her words.

“Don’t you guys have this feeling that this story is a bit anticlimactic? It sounds like these people got arrested, and it seems like it’s over, but if you think about it carefully, it seems, well, it also seems like it’s not over.” She looked at everyone and said, “It always feels like something’s missing. Without that last bit, everything feels awkward.”

“Yes, I think so too. Something is indeed missing.” Shen Cha nodded to Jin Miaomiao. “From what Brother Yaojia just said, we can imagine that a lot must have happened in Lord Gongsun’s residence, but…” She looked at Song Yaojia, “These things may have been overlooked.”

"Hey, that's exactly it!" Jin Miaomiao gave Shen Cha a high five and smiled at Song Yaojia. "I'm not saying Your Highness overlooked it, but rather that the way you told Your Highness this story was overlooked, perhaps because you thought it wasn't important. After all, capturing the person is the most important thing." She then looked at Shen Haolin and said, "What does the Duke think?"

“Hmm!” Shen Haolin nodded. “What we should overlook is the process of capturing them. These people that Gong Sheng brought are probably not going to surrender so easily.” He looked at Song Yaojia and raised an eyebrow slightly. “These people are all desperate criminals.”

“Brother is right.” Shen Cha thought for a moment, “Brother Yaojia, Gong Sheng and the others must have brought thugs with them when they came to the appointment, right? And those thugs, some of them were brought from their homes, and some were probably recruited on the way. Their kung fu should all be quite good?”

"Well... I didn't really care." Song Yaojia recalled Yan Chen's words. "Yan Chen said before that besides the fortune teller and feng shui master, there were indeed some thugs who came with Gong Sheng and Gong Wu, but..." He shrugged at the group, "So what if they brought them? Don't forget, the Imperial Guards and the Patrol Battalion are here. Although they're not elite, they're enough to deal with these people, right?"

Where are the Eagle King Army men?

“They’re all surrounding their hideout.” Song Yaojia chuckled and said, “Although we’ve already caught a bunch of notorious bandits, there are still quite a few hiding. This time, we’ll wipe them all out in one fell swoop.”

"I see." Jin Miaomiao and Shen Cha exchanged a glance. "Although the Imperial Guards and the Patrol Battalion's martial arts skills aren't very good, not as good as the Eagle King Army, aren't they better than these martial arts practitioners?"

"Not necessarily!" Merlin shook his head slightly. "Someone once said that people in the martial arts world fight to win and to survive, but we soldiers fight to defeat our enemies in one move."

“So, we have a method to arrest people, but they are different. When they broke through, they were like headless flies.” Jin Miaomiao thought for a moment and winked at Shen Cha. “I don’t believe there was no conflict between them at that time. It must have been very exciting.”

“That’s what I think too.” Shen Cha nodded. “It’s just that Lord Yan Chen probably doesn’t like these things, or doesn’t care about them, so he overlooked them when he was telling Brother Yao Jia.” She looked regretful. “Tsk, it’s a bit of a pity.”

Song Yaojia looked at Shen Cha, then at Jin Miaomiao who was agreeing with her, shook her head helplessly, and pointed at the two of them.

"So that's what you two are concerned about!" "What else?" Jin Miaomiao spread her hands. "Your Highness, we are military officers, so our concerns are naturally different. In this situation, neither side will be satisfied unless we have a fierce fight."

"Haolin, what do you think?"

“They’re right. In this life-or-death situation, a good fight is bound to break out.” Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow. “It’s just a pity about Lord Gongsun’s mansion and the good stuff that Yan Chen lent out. They’re probably all destroyed.”

"No, not at all." Song Yaojia held up a finger and wagged it, saying, "Everything's fine, but I really don't know how it happened." He looked at the group, "You guys seem quite experienced?"

"The outlaws of the martial world are all greedy for money and don't care about their lives. They don't understand the concept of 'a wise man submits to circumstances.' When they suddenly realize that they have fallen into such a big trap, they will do everything they can to survive."

"Gong Sheng."

“The Gong and Ma families both come from humble backgrounds and deal with things underground every day, so they naturally value their lives very much.” Shen Cha smiled. “It’s just that Lord Gongsun’s mansion has affected these people to some extent, impairing their minds and making them react a little slowly. But in reality, they’ve fallen into such a trap, and their subconscious reaction is only one thing.”

"Fight to the death, escape to survive, and wait for the opportunity to take revenge."

“That’s right.” Shen Cha nodded. “Brother Yaojia can’t see these things in the capital. We’ve seen too many desperados at the border. They all have the same mentality. They won’t be willing to be captured and will definitely try to escape.”

“They’re fighting to the death to survive, but…” Song Yaojia frowned slightly, “if they die in the fight, it’s better to be captured; perhaps then they can still live.”

"Why are you called a desperado?" Jin Miaomiao chuckled and said, "Your Highness's idea is the idea of ​​a normal person, but these people are not normal. They are gamblers, they are gambling addicts. Others gamble with money, but they are different. They gamble with their lives. They want to control their own life and death."

“That’s true.” Shen Cha sighed softly. “Not to mention the distant past, just look at what’s happened in the last few years. Which of those spies that the Imperial Guards and the Patrol Battalion arrested in the capital, the outskirts of the capital, and Wangxin Town would surrender without a fight if they were discovered?”

"Not to mention others, even the Luan and Liu families resisted fiercely when they were arrested, let alone others, right?"

“That’s true.” Song Yaojia nodded. “Unfortunately, they won’t have that chance. However, there are indeed some who surrender without resistance.”

"The Yun family?"

“Yes!” Song Yaojia gave a wry smile. “Ever since they realized that the Yun family elders, and possibly even their Grand Elder, were behind this, they stopped resisting. They knew resistance was useless, so they obediently squatted in a row, waiting to be arrested. Yan Chen said that the Imperial Guards and the patrol battalion were stunned when they saw them; they hadn’t expected that there would be so many innocent people among this group of desperados!”
