dawn of dynasty

Chapter 148: All parties are scheming, and all are smart people
Because of Shen Guanye's interference, the operation of the Longyang City Public Security Bureau ended in an anticlimax.

In the paradise-like cave, looking at the frightened chickens and ducks flying around, the seventh-level Tongbei boxer looked unfazed, and the faces of his subordinates were equally unsightly.

Although they had no casualties, their heroic spirits suffered many casualties.

What's even more unacceptable is that the mission failed.

"Who is it? Who informed me of the letter?"

Someone said angrily.

Their operation was secret and had two purposes.

The first is to take away this stronghold of the Red Hero Gang, and preferably capture Zeng Hai, the "Qingxia Hero".

The second is to lure the snake out of its hole, thereby uncovering the thieves hiding in the bureau.

This is also the reason why only less than ten of them participated in the operation. If they send people in with great fanfare, how can they narrow the scope and find out the culprits?
Logically speaking, it would be enough for their team to deal with Zeng Hai and others.

But who would have thought that a ghost-faced Yama would come out halfway?
However, the ghost-faced Yama is still ridiculously strong, but the level 3 Xiaoyao Shi has a combat power comparable to the level 6 Apocalypse!

He also has three Shinto-type heroic spirits with signs of awakening, and their combined combat power is comparable to that of seventh-level heroic spirits.

This is equivalent to two level 7 heroic spirits.

The Chixia Gang gained two more level 7 warriors out of thin air. How could the situation not be reversed?

"It doesn't matter. Although I failed to take down this stronghold of the Red Hero Gang, at least I have someone to suspect, right? When I go back, I want to find out who has been tipping off the Red Hero Gang for so many years!"

The leader, Tongbei Boxer, said with a ferocious smile.

……

On the other side, Shen Guanye, Zeng Hai and others were also heading in most directions.

"Take a rest first."

Zeng Hai glanced at the injured Li Hushan and said.

Because the ghost-faced Yama was like a divine weapon descending from the sky, they suffered no casualties, but many of their heroic spirits were killed and some were injured. The losses were considerable.

After all, even though a new force like Ghost Faced Yama has joined, the overall strength is still superior to those from the Security Bureau.

The group stopped and began to rest.

The fifth-level healing expert began to treat Li Hushan's injuries carefully, while Zeng Hai walked towards Shen Guanye.

"Brother Ghost Face, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with..."

"it is good."

Before Zeng Hai said what specific help he wanted to help, Shen Guanye agreed.

Zeng Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Ghost-faced Yama is smarter than he thinks.

Shen Guanye suddenly walked towards Ma Zhiwen.

Seeing the ghost-faced Yama walking towards him, Ma Zhiwen was a little wary and a little nervous.

"Brother Ghost Face, you don't remember what happened just now, do you? I've already apologized to you. It was my fault. I shouldn't have suspected you for no reason."

"How about I solemnly apologize to you?"

Because it was only Ghost Faced Yama who could defeat the masters of the Public Security Bureau before, now Ma Zhiwen also realized that Ghost Faced Yama could not be the one who leaked the location of the stronghold, so his attitude was much better than before.

Shen Guanye looked at the other party, and suddenly secretly activated the order to simulate Xiaoyaoshi's power.

"Hold Tianxian in your mouth!"

With this announcement, the azure azure righteousness washed away, and Ma Zhiwen's expression instantly became confused.

Orally speaking the Heavenly Constitution is one of the most basic and important abilities in the Confucian path.

The path of Confucian scholars is very special. They often rely on "talking". Their ability in frontal combat is not strong, and their ability in close combat is even weaker. Once they are approached by a master who is good at close combat, it will be very troublesome.

But under the premise that they are protected by teammates or have ways to prevent the enemy from approaching, the Apocalypse of the Confucian Path can often play a great role.

A single movement of the mouth can influence the power of rules.

Of course, the power of influencing rules sounds extraordinary. In fact, the actual effect depends on your level and the specific advancement.

If the level is very low and the advanced ones are only ordinary professions on the Confucian path, then the effect will be the same.

For example, if a third-level Confucian scholar wants Ma Zhiwen, a fourth-level bull-fighting swordsman, to be attacked, that would be a fantasy.

Not to mention those who are of a lower rank than Ma Zhiwen, even if they are Confucian scholars who are one rank higher than him, it would be very difficult for Ma Zhiwen to fall into his trap.

In short, the ability to mouth the Heavenly Constitution may seem powerful, but in the hands of low-level Confucian scholars, the effect is very mediocre. Only when the level is high can one truly "mouth the Heavenly Constitution".

At that time, it was really a small talk and a big meaning, and it was very powerful!
Shen Guanye's level is not high, but he has a special profession, so after activating the ability to mouth Tianxian, Ma Zhiwen was immediately caught.

Seeing Shen Guanye's ability taking effect, Zeng Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt entangled in his heart: He was waiting to verify something, but he was afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear.

"Brother Ghost Face, what are you doing?"

The level 4 Red Man Gang master was surprised and couldn't help but question.But because Shen Guanye had just saved them, even though he was questioning, his tone was not harsh.

This person is obviously not a smart person and has no idea why this scene happened.

But there was still a smart person present. The expert who was treating Li Hushan grabbed the man and stopped him from continuing to speak.

Shen Guanye ignored other reactions. He stared into Ma Zhiwen's eyes, maintained the power of the order, and asked:

"Did you leak the location of the stronghold?"

Ma Zhiwen showed a look of struggle on his face, but after two seconds he still spoke:

"Yes... it's me."

There was no need to ask the rest. Shen Guanye put away the power of the order and took a few steps back.

He indicated that the next matter is an internal matter of your Red Man Gang and you should resolve it yourself.

"It's really you?! Why?"

Zeng Hai asked with a sad expression.

Li Hushan and the fourth-level master also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They didn't understand how things suddenly turned out like this?
On the other hand, the level 5 master, like Zeng Hai, only had pain on his face but no surprise or disbelief.

Obviously, like Zeng Hai, he had made assumptions early on.

When he learned that the stronghold was exposed and the experts from the Longyang City Public Security Bureau were on the way, Ma Zhiwen pointed the finger at Ghost Faced Yama. Although it was logical, it was actually a bit abrupt when he thought about it.

Because as long as you calm down and think deeply for a moment, you will realize that the person who leaked the location of the stronghold cannot be Ghost Faced Yama.

Of course, you can also say that Ma Zhiwen has a short temper, a straight heart, and speaks louder than his head.

But in that situation, Ma Zhiwen jumped out, which was somewhat suspicious.

Shen Guanye was aware of this, Zeng Hai was aware of this, and this level 5 master of the Chixia Gang who was good at healing was obviously aware of this.

This is also the reason why Zeng Hai chose people to distract the enemy and specially selected Ma Zhiwen - with him, a level 7 master, watching over him, even if Ma Zhiwen was really a traitor, he would not be able to make a fool of himself.

But whether Ma Zhiwen is really a traitor or not, we have to ask Shen Guanye, a master of the Confucian scholar path, to make the other party speak the truth. Others do not have this ability.

Now, the results are clear.

"I, I, I...it's not me? It's really not me!"

Ma Zhiwen panicked. Seeing Zeng Hai walking towards him step by step, he finally became afraid.He ran away and ran into the woods.

Zeng Hai followed immediately.

Next, there is not much to say.

After a while, Zeng Hai came back and announced to everyone with a sad face.

"Ma Zhiwen, a member of the Red Man Gang, betrayed the gang and has been killed on the spot!"

After this incident, Li Hushan and others were obviously not in a good mood, and the group joined the large army with heavy expressions.

There were no casualties in the large army. Apart from the heroic spirits who were killed in battle, there were only injuries such as sprains, scratches, and snake bites.

This is a blessing in misfortune for the Red Hero Gang.

……

When it was dawn, the others were busy taking care of the wounded and looking for food.

As the leader, Zeng Hai couldn't leave because he had to stay and receive the "benefactor" Ghost Faced Yama. If it hadn't been for Ghost Faced Yama last night, the Red Man Gang would have suffered a lot of casualties!

Because he was injured and was most familiar with the ghost-faced Yama, Li Hushan also stayed.

"Brother Ghost Face, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."

Zeng Hai solemnly clasped his fists and saluted Shen Guanye.

Regardless of his injury, Li Hushan struggled to stand up and also clasped his fists and saluted.

"Brother! You have saved me twice already. From now on, you will be my brother of life and death! If anything happens to you, I, Li Hushan, will go through fire and water. It is my duty to do so!"

"You are Welcome."

Shen Guanye still maintains the cold persona of the ghost-faced Yama.

"What are Brother Ghost Face's plans next?"

After straightening up, Zeng Hai asked again.

"No plans."

Zeng Hai thought for a moment and took out a Red Knight Token from his pocket.

"Brother Ghost Face, this is the Red Hero Order. Please accept it. If anything happens in the future, you can use the Red Hero Order to contact us. As long as our Red Hero Gang can do it, we will work hard to do it."

It has to be said that Zeng Hai looks like a simple farmer, but he actually acts in a measured manner.

He only gave Shen Guanye the Red Hero Order, but never mentioned anything about whether he wanted to join the Red Hero Gang, which made people feel very comfortable.

Shen Guanye had no reason to refuse and took over the Red Hero Order, officially establishing a friendly relationship with the Red Hero Gang.

After that, Shen Guanye said goodbye in a timely manner. …

In the dim light of morning, Zeng Hai looked at the canyon and mountain stream, as if in a daze.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in his shadow, making a warning gesture.

The two figures were wearing armor and looked like ghosts. They held a soul chain in one hand and a weapon in the other. They had human bodies but heads like those of cattle and horses.

Tau!

Horse noodles!

In addition to the Bamboo Spirit and the Egret Spirit, Zeng Hai also had two seventh-level heroic spirits, the Bull-headed Yin Shuai and the Horse-faced Yin Shuai!
If Shen Guanye were here, he would definitely be surprised.

Since Zeng Hai has four major seventh-level heroic spirits, why didn't he release the bull-headed Yin Shuai and the horse-faced Yin Shuai in last night's battle?

As long as these two heroic spirits are released, there is no need for him to take action at all, and the crisis situation of the Red Xia Gang will be solved immediately!

To be more precise, there is no crisis at all!

At this time, there was a movement in the trees opposite the mountain stream, and soon, a mysterious light fell.

It was a black weasel!
After Xuan Weasel landed, he straightened up and began to speak human words.

"I didn't expect that you have already contacted Ghost Faced Yama, and I didn't expect that Ghost Faced Yama is so powerful. It saves you from exposing the bull-headed horse."

This voice!
It was clearly the Tongbei boxer who fought against Zeng Hai last night!

"It was also a coincidence."

Zeng Hai replied with a smile.

Who would have thought that Zhang Shunshan, one of the deputy captains of the elite brigade of the Longyang City Public Security Bureau, would be a member of the Red Man Gang?And he is also one of the 24 heroes, "Xuan Weasel"!
Among the 24 heroes of the Red Hero Gang, there are those like Zeng Hai who are very famous and whose names are known to many people, and there are also those who are well hidden like Zhang Shunshan and not many people know their true identity.

For example, "Xuan Weasel Man" Zhang Shunshan, even within the Red Man Gang, only a few people know his true identity.

This is a necessary measure to protect our own spies.

"The clues to frame the case have been laid out. I believe that after this operation is over, Longyang City will focus on investigating that person and will not include me in the scope of suspicion."

Zhang Shunshan skipped the topic of Ghost Faced Yama and continued.

"Great! We finally deserved this scene. In the end, Longyang City was able to nail that person, which indirectly eliminated a powerful enemy for us."

Zeng Hai was very happy.

"Who leaked the location of the stronghold?"

Xuan Weasel continued to speak human words.

Zeng Hai's mood suddenly dropped again.

"It's Ma Zhiwen."

……

If Shen Guanye were here...

No, there is no if, he is really there.

Between the trees, an eye made of flames was extinguished silently.

A few miles away, Shen Guanye looked at the blazing flames in front of him and the images conveyed by the flames, which were both surprising and expected.

He had felt something was wrong before. Although the Tongbei boxer was ruthless and deadly, Zeng Hai was hit directly in the abdomen, so he recovered too quickly, right?

The injury was much less serious than he expected.

So before leaving, he kept an eye on Shang Kui.

This is not Shang Kui's skill, it can only be regarded as a simple application of divine power. Fortunately, the effect is good.

Then saw this scene.

Now it seems that last night's battle was clearly a scene directed and performed by the top brass of the Red Man Gang.

Not only did he lure the snake out of his hole and capture his traitor, but he also helped his own senior spy clear his suspicions. At the same time, he also framed a real high-level official in Longyang City.

Simply do it all!
Even if he hadn't been able to intervene last night, Li Hushan and others would have been fine. Zeng Hai would definitely show off his skills and catch Zhang Shunshan "off guard" and restore the situation!
At last night's scene, he was not the only actor!

Looking at the flames that were gradually extinguishing, Shen Guanye was in a good mood.

He didn't feel bad about being kept in the dark.

Zhang Shunshan's identity is a secret among secrets, and it is only right for the Chixia Gang to hide it from him.

If it were revealed to him like this, he would seriously consider cooperating with the other party.

If you are a big organization and act so carelessly and meticulously, that would be terrible, right?
Therefore, Shen Guanye not only did not feel unhappy about the Chixia Gang's concealment, but was actually very happy.

After all, you should be happy that your partner is so capable, right?It's not you who is being plotted against.

……

In the Shen family courtyard, under the pomegranate flowers, Shen Guanye was sitting on a stone bench chatting with his father.

It was July, and the weather was already quite hot, but maybe it was because there were five immortals sitting in the house, so it wasn't very hot in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Wujiaxian can actually regulate the temperature and make the home feel like spring all year round.

Above the stone table, the red pomegranate flowers are about to wither.

Shen Guanye picked a pomegranate flower that had just fallen from his head and threw it on the ground.

"Dad, that's what happened. Do you have any channels?"

Shen Guanye explained his plan.

Shen Shenghui lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. He did not ask Shen Guanye why he was so anxious to search for the lair of level 3 heroic spirits. Instead, he said:

"If you want to buy a level 3 heroic spirit lair, there must be one. What are you going to buy? Our family doesn't have that much money."

"Or do you plan to exchange the Five Immortals for it? Although the Five Immortals are good, they are still not enough to exchange for the level 3 heroic spirit lair. No one will make such a loss-making transaction unless you are willing to exchange the Five Immortals' lair for it. "

If the five immortals form a group, their combat effectiveness can reach the peak of level 3. Although there is a time limit, the overall combat effectiveness is no worse than most level 3 heroic spirits.

The combat effectiveness is no worse than that of level 3 heroic spirits, but the number that can be recruited per week is one more, and the money required for recruitment is much less.

The price/performance ratio is naturally high.

If Shen Guanye is willing to sell the five fairy nests, there are still many Apocalypse Lords who are willing to exchange for the third-level nests.

But not to mention that Shen Guanye didn't want to exchange, even with a deep voice, he was unwilling to exchange the five fairy lairs in his heart.

Shen Guanye had already thought about what Shen Shenghui said, so he answered without hesitation:

"I plan to sell the leopard spirit."

Now with Shang Kui, the high-end power in his hands suddenly increased sharply, and the importance of frost dead warriors, bamboo spirits and leopard spirits was not so strong.

Not counting Shang Kui himself, the combat effectiveness of his two Huo Zhengyan followers alone exceeded those of the Frost Frost Death Soldiers.

But if you really want to sell it, bamboo essence is not easy to sell.

After all, this was given to him by the National Salvation Association. It has a strong symbolic meaning and must not be sold.

The same is true for Frost Frost Death Soldiers. This is something given by the central government, and it also has symbolic significance.

This is just like the things given by ancient emperors. Do you dare to buy and sell them at will?Although the authority of today's central government is incomparable to that of ancient emperors, it is not good after all if it is discovered.

In addition, the frost dead warrior's protective ability is quite useful, so there is no need to sell it.

After all, the only ones that can be traded are leopard spirits.

"Sold the leopard spirit? These are the only three seventh-level heroic spirits you have."

Shen Shenghui was startled. He wanted to say that if he sold the leopard essence, what would he do if he encountered Gong Ziqiang and the like again?
The original high-level guard strength was insufficient, and after selling the leopard essence, wouldn't it be even more insufficient?

Hua Bao Jing made a great contribution to Gong Ziqiang's case. Without it, the result might not be like this at all.

Halfway through his words, Shen Shenghui noticed Shen Guanye's expression.

"Or do you have a new trump card?"

As a good father, Shen Shenghui knows his children very well.

He knew that Shen Guanye was not a careless person and would not act rashly when he was unsure.

In addition, he originally felt that Shen Guanye went to see Brother Yu for half a month, which was not normal.

So, this conjecture came naturally.

Shen Guanye nodded.

"correct."

Didn't explain much.

Seeing this, Shen Shenghui stopped delving into it and asked instead:
"Then who are you going to ask to handle this matter?"

"I plan to ask Uncle Shengshan to go and find a few trusted clan brothers for help."

Shen Shenghui nodded first, then shook his head.

"No, I will handle this myself."

Although Shen Guanye didn't say it explicitly, Shen Shenghui could feel that this matter was important to his son.

Although Shen Shengshan was also an Apocalypse and was capable of doing things, he was not as good as him.

"Dad, are you not going back to work in the government?"

Shen Guanye was surprised.

"It's enough to have you here. Besides, when I worked in the government before, I was just like that idle cloud and wild crane. I might as well step down and help you elsewhere."

"That's it."

Seeing that his father was quite determined, Shen Guanye stopped persuading him and turned to talk about another matter.

"Dad, is it time for our family to find a master?"
