Chapter 171 Trap
Su Hao crumpled the note in his hand into pieces, glanced at the private room where Tang Huang and the others were, and then got up and left.
The whereabouts of Tang Huang and his group have now been confirmed.
So now we just have to wait and see if Liu Jun will show up tomorrow night.
After leaving the restaurant, Su Hao went to the Yueshan Boxing Gym first.
After glancing at the closed gate of the boxing gym, Su Hao looked around, then leaped over the wall, using it as leverage, and landed in the training ground.
The training ground was deserted and covered with a thick layer of snow.
It's obvious that it hasn't been cleaned or tidied up for many days.
Ever since Master Liu and his gang kidnapped the eldest son of the Yan family, one of the eight great families, the Yueshan Boxing School has been closed to visitors.
With a sigh, Su Hao strode towards the courtyard where Master Liu had previously lived.
Upon entering the courtyard, Su Hao took out his key and opened the gate.
Then they went inside and entered a side room.
Su Hao lit the candlestick, and the bright yellow candlelight immediately illuminated the room.
This is a study room with bookshelves on three walls, and some books are scattered on the shelves.
One of the bookshelves by the window was divided in the middle, with a desk placed there.
Su Hao walked over, took out a piece of paper with writing on it from his pocket, and placed it under a pile of books on the desk.
Then he went to another bookshelf and started looking through it.
They quickly pulled out a delicate little wooden box from a pile of books.
Upon opening the wooden box, a faint scent of pine resin wafted out.
There was a small, red insect, its body entirely glassy, lying in the wooden box, its antennae trembling slightly.
It is clearly still alive.
Su Hao used tweezers to pick out the small insect and placed it over the candle flame to roast.
Only when the little red worm emitted a sizzling sound did Su Hao release the tweezers, watching the worm fly out the window and disappear into the night.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know what these little red insects are or how they transmit information to Master Liu.
However, this was something Master Liu instructed him to do. He was to report any findings to him in advance by leaving information at the martial arts school and then using intense heat to roast the small red insects to escape.
Su Hao had no choice but to comply.
After all, Liu Shi hadn't given him a specific address beforehand, so this was the only way he could contact him.
After doing all this, Su Hao blew out the oil lamp, closed the window again, and then stepped out of the courtyard.
Yanshan Castle, Kitamatsu Town.
In a dark alley, a bright red beetle was flying low. It seemed to be following some kind of scent, its route straight and steady, until it climbed over a mud wall and entered a mud house courtyard, where it finally stopped on a slightly dilapidated windowsill.
Crunch!
The sound of a wooden window being pushed open rang out.
A rather large hand emerged from inside and gently caught the beetle.
"Are we going to make our move?"
In the dimly lit room, a deep, hoarse voice rang out.
:
An elderly man with long hair and white eyebrows sat in a chair, looking at the beetle resting on Liu's seriously injured palm, and spoke.
The long-browed old man was named Wu Baiying, the master of the Baiying Martial Arts School in Baoshan Town. His Eagle Claw Technique was unparalleled in the martial arts world, and he was renowned for his prowess.
"Hmm! The pine resin worm has been activated. My disciple must have received some message and left me some information. I need to go back and check to find out."
Liu Zhongshang nodded slightly and spoke.
He knew that Su Hao wouldn't contact him casually unless he had heard some truly useful information.
"That's good, saves you from worrying unnecessarily. This time, it's best not to let anyone get away, so that girl will finally give up!"
Wu Baiying nodded slightly.
He was aware of Liu Chongshan's situation and felt somewhat sorry for him.
In his view, Liu Chongshan was both very lucky and unlucky.
Why?
That's because he has a daughter who reached the third level of the Blood Realm at a very young age. With such talent, it's only a matter of time before she reaches the Bone Forging Martial Master level.
It's a pity that the relationship between the other party and the daughter lacked affection; they were more like enemies.
Most of the decisions his daughter makes unconsciously influence Liu Chongshan's decisions as her father.
Just like right now.
"That's right. Since they're unwilling to help and want to watch us go to our deaths, then let's all suffer!"
Liu Chongshan snorted coldly.
He had anticipated this situation, so he felt no burden at all.
"What should we do with that Yan family brat? Killing him now would reduce our leverage, but leaving him alive would make him a potential threat sooner or later."
Wu Baiying's cloudy old eyes flickered.
Several days have passed since the last time Yan Qishan was kidnapped.
The main point is that the Yan family already knew about this matter, but they still didn't make a fuss about it.
They did not agree to their demands.
This means that Yan Qishan has been abandoned.
It has lost its primary value.
"Kill him. He's useless to us anyway. If the Yan family really cared about him, they would have sent someone to negotiate with us long ago. Of course, we can't rule out that the Yan family is just putting on airs and thinking we won't dare to make a move."
Liu Chongshan sneered.
As the battle between the alliance and the fortress begins, these pawns who are sacrificed first must try to gain something for themselves, right?
Anyway, they have already sided with Zhangjiabao, which is now Fengshan Alliance.
If Zhangjiabao wins, they win; if Zhangjiabao falls, they fall with it.
It doesn't matter anymore.
"Hmm! That makes sense—" Wu Baiying nodded. "However, if we decide to take action tomorrow night, it could very well trigger a major battle. You should know that the matter concerning Liu Jun is most likely intended to force you out."
"Are you worried that the Fengshan Alliance will be dissatisfied?"
Liu Chongshan said.
When they captured Yan Qishan last time, the Fengshan Alliance found out about it, and the higher-ups have been very dissatisfied with them ever since.
They claimed that without any prior planning, they took action against the Yan family, one of the Eight Great Families.
This would undoubtedly alert the enemy.
If this happens again, Zhangjiabao will probably have a hard time explaining themselves.
"So you don't need to take action tomorrow night. Just observe from the shadows. This is my private matter. If the Fengshan Alliance needs to contact me, they will only contact me."
Liu Chongshan continued.
What happened tonight was, in essence, his personal matter. He didn't want to involve anyone else.
After all, the last time Yan Qishan was arrested, it was with everyone's consent, but this time it's different; this is his private matter.
"What you're saying—" Wu Baiying shook his head, "I may be a piece of rotten wood, but I can still carry a few loads. I don't care what explanation I need to give to the Fengshan Alliance."
"So don't worry, I'll go with you tomorrow night."
Wu Baiying didn't have many friends in Yanshan City, and Liu Chongshan was one of his best.
Now that his old friend is in trouble, how could he stand idly by?
"Then thank you very much, Brother Wu—" Liu Chongshan said gratefully.
"In that case, we've decided. I'll go back to Yanshan Martial Arts School to gather intelligence."
After Liu Chongshan finished speaking, he pushed open the door and left the room.
