Chapter 973: Each Has His Own Plan
Yu Zecheng also smiled: "He Xiao, go and do your own thing, don't worry about me."
The tension disappeared immediately.
He Lingchuan led a large group of people to send Yu Zecheng and others back to their residence, performed all the etiquette, gave them enough face, and then went back to work.
Yu Zecheng returned to the room, drank the whole bowl of tea, and wanted to smash the tea bowl with his hand.
But he still held back and didn't smash it.
Finally, he threw the tea bowl back on the table and let out a long breath.
The guard behind him said: "Sir, is the surname He singing a double act with the spider demon?"
Yu Zecheng said coldly: "What do you think?"
The guard dared not say a word.
He Xiao was quite polite to them, but this politeness lacked awe. Yu Zecheng said to himself:
"Why is this kid so confident?"
Whatever the spider demon did him a favor, even if it was true, in the face of his own life and death, why can't he live up to the favor?
The guard said, "Perhaps, he relies on his good relationship with Prince Chiyan?"
"He should know very well that the prince can't control us." Yu Zecheng said calmly but arrogantly, "The Black Tiger Army doesn't need to give Chiyan this face."
But the task of tracking Zhu Erniang can't be left alone, otherwise Frost Leaf National Master will definitely blame him.
"He Xiao refused to hand over Zhu Erniang, and the contradiction was concentrated on him. It's the so-called "no tears before seeing the coffin." Yu Zecheng casually put up a barrier, "Only by capturing him and helping him face the reality can we deal with Zhu Erniang."
At this point, he only said "capture", not to kill.
In fact, Yu Zecheng also has concerns.
The immortal medicine case involves many upper-class figures in Lingxu City, and He Xiao was once a special envoy of Chiyan. He can get away with it by dealing with Lingxu City. Does he have connections and foundations in Beijia?
Given the situation in Lingxu City at that time, if He Xiao didn't have a strong backer - at least stronger than Prince Chiyan - Qingyang State Master could crush him with just one little finger.
If he killed He Xiao now, would he offend some big shot in Lingxu City?
He pressed his forehead, sighed, and turned his attention back to the archipelago.
The environment of the Yangshan Islands is very favorable for the burrow spiders, and based on his understanding of Zhu Erniang, this big monster started to set up camp as soon as he moved to the island, making his cave like an iron barrel.
They also sent spies to see that the island was full of holes and grooves, as if it was tailor-made for the burrow spiders. The most complex terrain is probably underground and underwater, and it is impossible to find out the truth by just looking at the outside.
It is both a maze and a fortress.
They don't even know which cave Zhu Erniang lives in, so how can they launch a surprise attack?
It's not impossible to take action by force. They are well prepared for the burrow spiders and Zhu Erniang, but the chances of winning in the end are unpredictable.
However, once the island owner leans towards them, the advantage will immediately be mine.
The home advantage is so effective.
The key to dealing with Zhu Erniang now lies in He Xiao's attitude.
It is useless to persuade this person to change his attitude.
The guard whispered: "Sir, this He Xiao should not be a simple person. He is here and has the advantage of the terrain."
"Do you think He Xiao is easier to deal with or Zhu Erniang?"
The guard immediately said: "He Xiao."
Not to mention the number of crypt spiders, Zhu Erniang can restore the power of the ancient demon fairy when she is forced into a corner. And the nest of crypt spiders... It is definitely a headache.
This is also the reason why Yu Zecheng adopted the wolf pack tactics instead of confronting this prehistoric monster head-on.
In terms of force and combat experience alone, there is no doubt that He Xiao is easier to deal with.
Choose the lesser of two evils. Even if He Xiao is not simple, Yu Zecheng will choose him.
Besides, is He Xiao really that powerful?
The guard said again: "But, but our manpower is configured to deal with spider monsters..."
They have been chasing Zhu Erniang for half a year, and the manpower and materials mobilized from the front line are also targeted.
Yu Zecheng smiled: "Can't the configuration for dealing with Zhu Erniang deal with He Xiao?"
The guard lowered his head and said nothing.
"I went back to Lingxu City once at the beginning of this year. When I met the national teacher, he talked about the immortality medicine case and spoke highly of this He." Yu Zecheng said slowly, "But when the immortality medicine case was brought to Lingxu City by Bai Dushi for investigation, He Xiao was no longer an important figure. The focus of the competition among all parties was not on him, and he was protected by the prince of Chiyan. It was not difficult for him to retreat unscathed. It was mostly because of caution or because of the checks and balances between the parties."
He was analyzing and comforting himself.
"Perhaps his brilliance was in dealing with Cen Boqing in Chiyan?" Yu Zecheng didn't say a word. Beijia has never lacked amazing talents, but the national teacher Shuangye rarely praised them.
Now He Xiao is obstructing Beijia from chasing the fugitives, which shows that he does not really know how to judge the situation. From the perspective of Master Shuangye, he is indeed overestimating He Xiao.
He pondered and said, "He Xiao should be very wary of us. There are also several elites around him. It is not easy for us to attack him on the island."
The guard said, "Then wait for him to land at Blade Port?"
As soon as the voice fell, a white bird flew in from the window and landed on the table.
"What's the latest news at the port?" Yu Zecheng left two people at Blade Port.
"Recently, several cargo ships were sunk by Yin Hu. People are hotly discussing this matter. They all say that those ships are actually privately owned by Wu Tiju, the Maritime Customs Officer of Blade Port."
Yu Zecheng raised his eyebrows: "Is it rare for Yin Hu to sink cargo ships?"
"Those ships were not in the Yangshan waters when they crashed. Generally speaking, the Yinli are active in the depths of the archipelago, and they will not leave the Yangshan waters to harm people."
"But they came out this time and only damaged Wu Tiju's ship?"
"Yes. We only caught Wu Tiju's boat for several days in a row, and other boats passed by them, but they ignored them." White Bird just passed on the message, "This matter has spread like wildfire in Blade Port, because earlier There is talk about the new owner of the Yangshan Islands subduing the Yin Hui. Everyone speculates that this is a feud between the two sides and that the Yangshan Islands are showing off to Wu Tiju. "
Yu Zecheng knocked on the table with his fingers: "Since I am responsible for the promotion of Blade Port, is it possible that I want to take the card?"
They are all in the officialdom, and they are not good men and women.
"Ye Qing also found out something." Ye Qing was one of the guards who stayed at Blade Port to find out the news. "In the past few days, Wu Tiju's ship has sailed as usual again, and Yin Fei has not intercepted it again."
"It seems that he and He Xiao have reached an agreement." Otherwise, how could he dare to send a ship out?
"More than that. The sailors on Wu Tiju's ship also said that if they now take a fixed route in and out of Blade Port, they will definitely not be attacked." Bai Niao said, "Now the ships entering and leaving Blade Port are also following the same route and changing that route. A route.”
People in the sea are superstitious and will definitely not do anything that violates taboos.
Yu Zechengran: "Fixed route? Does it have to pass through this Sodin Island?"
"yes."
Yu Zecheng said: "What a good boy, you can turn disasters into blessings, you have a quick mind." No wonder that although the facilities on Sodin Island are simple, there are many ships docked.
"This Wu Tiju suffered a heavy loss in the hands of He Xiao, and had to divert the flow for others. He must be suffocating." Yu Zecheng said to Bai Niao, "Let Ye Qing test him, it is best to be our helper. Then you Go back to Sodin Island and keep an eye on He Xiao."
"Yes!" The white bird flapped its wings and flew away.
No one noticed that the white bird's comings and goings were all visible to the spiders on the big tree outside the house.
This is Sodin Island, He Lingchuan’s territory. Who cares how many bugs there are on the trees?
The mirror on the other side also asked He Lingchuan: "Do you think the person named Yu should just let it go?"
"How is that possible? Today's meeting is just a formality." He Lingchuan said lightly, "Beijia will not stop until he gets the answer he wants. Yu must at least give it a try, otherwise he won't be able to get the job back. ”
After half a year of hard work chasing after Zhu Erniang to lay out the plan, he ended up returning home without even trying. How could he be like this?
When you go back and report to your boss, you should at least say that your subordinates tried their best but just couldn't do it.
"With the temperament of these Bega people, if they fail the literary test, I'm afraid there will be a martial arts test later."
Since he has accepted the spider demon sisters, he must also accept their troubles.
Avoiding excuses, lying, and being clever are all useless.
From now on, Yu Zecheng's pursuit of Zhu Erniang will become a problem between him, He Lingchuan and Beijia.
What should come will always come, and what should be faced cannot be avoided.
"What are you going to do?"
"Keep an eye on Yu Zecheng, he will definitely make some moves in private.
The mirror squeaked: "He wouldn't be stupid enough to do it himself, would he?"
"There are only two people following him. How could he only lead two people when hunting down a big demon like Zhu Erniang? I'm afraid the others in Bega are hiding in the dark." He Lingchuan's eyes flashed, "Zhu Erniang was once an ancient demon. Immortal, if Yu Zecheng dares to come here, we must find out how many people he brings."
He Lingchuan patted the mirror and said: "If I refuse to hand over Zhu Erniang, he will definitely doubt me. You should be more careful in the back. Whether it is my magical power or eyeliner, I will leave it to you."
The waters of Pansi Island were completely blocked by Yinpi, and Yu Zecheng was able to spot the burrowing spiders on the island, which showed that he at least had the advantage of aerial reconnaissance. He Lingchuan didn't want his every move to be watched by the eyes of heaven.
"Put it on me." Jing Jing assured him casually, then asked, "Are you going to kill the person named Yu?"
"Of course not, absolutely not! We can't be enemies with Bejia yet, at least we can't make Bejia lose face." The majesty of the big country does not tolerate provocation. He Lingchuan thought clearly, "Fortunately, he still has superiors. He encounters difficulties. , must be reported to the superior.”
"Grandmaster Frostleaf?"
"Exactly."
…
Blade Port, City Shipping Department.
Zhao Qianshi had just handed Wu Tiju a maintenance report on the dock, and the clerk trotted over to report:
"A visitor asked to see him, saying he was... from Lingxu City."
Wu Tiju raised his eyes: "Oh? Bring him in."
Hearing the visitor from Lingxu, he was not as surprised as other Qingguo officials. Blade Port is a natural port with huge throughput. It accepts sea passengers from all over the world, and there are always a lot of guests from Mou Guo and Beijia.
