Chapter 116 Celebrity Undercover

"What exactly is he trying to do? He fought his way back, and now he's even firing a crossbow in the middle of the city?"

Li Changying, the one-eyed deputy commander of the Qingming Guard, was woken up in the middle of the night and was a bit grumpy. "Now, from street thugs to the police station, even the Governor's Mansion might know about this mess. Are there really such undercover agents?"

Not satisfied with just that, he pointed at Nangong Qingye and said, "And you! We couldn't find him for so many days, and he had to come back on his own."

Nangong Qingye was unconvinced: "This humble servant is only one person, and it's really beyond my capabilities, Commander Li. Besides, the continental reconnaissance planes have already made several trips, but they still haven't found it, have they?"

He hasn't even said it yet, and even Mr. Ji hasn't figured it out.

Li Changying glared at him, realizing he really couldn't do anything with this lowly military supervisor. After all, the military supervisor was in charge of overseeing the army, and he was directly under the emperor's control.

The reason Meng Qing was able to temporarily lead the local military supervisor was because the Grand General with the authority of a general gave the order, and the mission was special, so this temporary arrangement was made. Afterwards, even Meng Qing could not control him.

Of course, given Li Changying's level, it would be a different story if he wanted to use underhanded methods. However, he wields the Overlord Spear, a martial art characterized by its fierce power and his arrogant nature, so he naturally disdains intrigue and trickery.

Before long, Meng Qing, the commander of the Linglong Guard, Old Ji, and Zhao Baiyu, the military supervisor, also arrived.

"Why did you drag that Zhao guy into this?" Zhao Baiyu said sullenly.

He particularly disliked the medicine seller because they shared the same surname, and people would always speculate that they might have some kind of relationship.

In reality, it was impossible. The local officials of the Military Supervisory Bureau could not be locals; most of them were transferred from the capital and rotated every five years.

Normally, an agency that supervises the emperor in various regions should not have independent branches in local areas, just like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which only had "underground communication stations" in local areas and no government offices.

But there was no other way; the Qin Empire was simply too vast. If all the military supervisors were to be transferred from the capital's main office every time, it would block the nearby sea lanes. So this was the only option.

"The Zhao family was a once-prominent but now fallen family in the area. They later married into the Song family and have since regained their former prestige and wielded considerable influence."

The Zhao family and the undercover agents in this operation—the criminal group led by Luo Tianchong—are adversaries. Four years ago, the two sides clashed over smuggling medicinal herbs, leading to a two-year-long "commercial" war that was only temporarily halted after the Governor personally intervened.

Meng Qing nodded slightly: "What do you all think of Song Qingfeng?"

Ji Ye stroked his beard and remained silent. He generally did not want to openly get involved in matters concerning high-ranking officials.

Ling Dongxun also had concerns, after all, his rank was still far below that of the governor of the continent.

Like Xin Li, Li Changying was a warrior; they only cared about killing people and didn't express any opinion.

Nangong Qingye: "I don't think he's a good person."

"puff."

Li Changying couldn't help but laugh, and she found the kid a little more agreeable. "That can't be it. That lousy military port has been talking about it for years, but they still haven't approved the launch acceleration track. They must be someone who doesn't do anything practical."

Meng Qing patted the armrest of the chair, bringing the topic back on track: "What I mean is, if the Governor's Office is colluding with the rebel merchants, we should prepare for the worst."

Huh? What are you planning... a rebellion?

Li Changying paused for a moment, then sneered, "The state army is organized under the military headquarters, so it has no legitimate reason to mobilize them. Even if it does, those useless guys have no fighting power, so we're not afraid."

Ji Ye said, "This matter still needs to be observed. I think the most important thing now is to help Lu Zhao integrate smoothly into the target group. According to the intelligence sent back by Sui Chaoyu, something big is probably just around the corner."

Meng Qing said, "Mr. Ji is right. Nangong Qingye, go do your work."

"Yes."

For some reason, Nangong Qingye felt a little gratified.

If Lu Zhao doesn't come back, all his previous preparations will have been for nothing.

"Good lad, you've got the style of your old man, didn't say a word, well done."

Bu Tianyan transformed into a complimenter, showering Lu Zhao with praise in the car, especially for Lu Zhao's behavior of not revealing anything after entering the police station.

Lu Zhao wasn't very interested in him, after all, he had already memorized the information about the two brothers. In comparison, he was more concerned about the special skills of Sui Chaoyu.

The information does not describe the effects of the special skill "Martial Arts Break," but many people know that it is best not to use special skills in front of Sui Chaoyu.

This great swordsman's most famous ability is to seal other people's special skills. If you can get your hands on this martial arts breaking technique, you can gain a huge advantage when facing people who rely on special skills as their main means of attack.

We must find a way to win him over!

Just as Lu Zhao made his decision, Sui Chaoyu asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

He asked about things in the desert, and his tone sounded rather disdainful, but...

Lu Zhao knew it was because of worry.

In fact, Sui Chaoyu was somewhat worried that things wouldn't go smoothly.

However, if he doesn't ask and Lu Zhao doesn't say anything, it will feel like the "father and son" are hiding something, so it's best for him to take the initiative to bring it up, which is also a sign of trust.

He believed that the person chosen by Meng Qing could provide a sufficiently credible answer.

Sure enough, after asking the question, Bu Tianyan also looked over.

Lu Zhao did not rush to answer, but instead glanced at the driver.

"Hehe, just tell me, I won't reveal a single word."

Bu Tianyan laughed, thinking to himself that this kid really seemed to come from the streets and didn't understand the rules of big companies. People who aren't trusted won't be drivers.

Lu Zhao then said, "When I got off the passenger ship, I saw a large group of people waiting for me, dressed like rich people..."

Just like you.

He pointed at Bu Tianyan.

My life can buy their lives!

Bu Tianyan chuckled a few times: "Go on."

Lu Zhao told the truth, but concealed his thoughts at the time. He thought of himself as a clueless young man who had never been to a big city. When the other party recognized him and the car was very luxurious, he didn't think of kidnappers or anything like that.

"Then they took me to the desert. I was wondering why Old Sui, who loves to party, would be in a place like that."

"You brat, stop talking nonsense!" Sui Chaoyu scolded angrily, but did not increase the progress.

Bu Tianyan burst into laughter.

Lu Zhao mumbled something in his head, saying that they were a group of sand bandits, many in number and powerful. For his own safety, and because he didn't know the roads in the desert, he didn't dare to resist rashly, and instead turned the tables on them.

"I thought, since Lao Sui said you're a big company, you'd definitely be able to find a way to get me out of here, but I've waited for half a month and still haven't seen you."

"cough."

Bu Tianyan scratched his face as if he'd been bitten by a mosquito. "Well, the desert is huge, and the Zhao family is all wandering around there aimlessly, it's a bit troublesome. Hey, so how did you finally get out?"

Lu Zhao gave a wicked smile and said, "The bandit leader was a woman. She seemed to have a thing for me, so she let me go."

Huh? Isn't your reason a bit too casual?

Didn't they train you on how to handle unexpected situations? What happened to the promise of a sufficiently credible answer?

Sui Chaoyu immediately began to worry.

He never imagined that Lu Zhao was telling the truth.

After listening, Bu Tianyan pretended to be stunned for a moment, but in reality he was thinking.

But he wasn't there to be a spy, so his thoughts weren't actually that complex. After pondering for a moment, he came to only one conclusion.

That's too far-fetched; it doesn't seem like it was made up.

Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that all the female bandit leaders are old women. This kid really has it tough...
