Chapter 263 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind

PreviousBack to directoryNext
After Liusha discussed the countermeasures, Zinu came to the mansion the next day to inform Han Fei of her opinion.

Cheng Yu was not too surprised by Han Fei's choice. If Han Fei agreed, then he would no longer be Han Fei.

Unless he reaches a dead end, Han Fei may violate his own ideals, and it is not certain.

Han Fei seems easy-going, but he is stubborn to the core on certain things.

The reason why I put forward such an opinion is, firstly, to take precautions, and secondly, to show my attitude of trying my best to support.

Even though he was unwilling to take action, Cheng Xi was happy to have his leisure time. Every day he would either go to the palace to meet Madam Mingzhu, or go out to the city to play with Yan Lingji. He lived a very comfortable life.

Now Tianze and his gang have temporarily gone into hiding and have not continued to cause trouble.

The news is too tight, and the things Tianze and his gang have done one after another are so big that all forces in South Korea regard Tianze and his gang as a thorn in their flesh.

Once they come out to cause trouble, all the forces in South Korea will attack with all their strength. If the contradictions are unanimously outward, how can all the parties in South Korea fight within themselves?

As long as Tianze does not come out to cause trouble immediately, even if all forces in South Korea are wary of Tianze and his group, internal fighting will still be inevitable.

Not to mention that South Korea has not yet been destroyed. Throughout the ages, even when the country is already in the process of destruction, internal fighting cannot stop.

Not to mention, this is the case with the Zhao State. In order to maintain his own power, the God of War Guo Kai directly destroyed the Zhao State's last hope, Li Mu, regardless of the consequences.

Villains usually have a very short-sighted vision and only care about their own interests and cannot see long-term and fundamental interests.

Less than half a month after Tianze and his gang disappeared, they took action at night, and a drought suddenly appeared in Nanyang.

This drought was man-made at night for two purposes.

The first and most important purpose is to control the lifeline of South Korea's food.

South Korea's territory has been encroached by powerful enemies around it, especially the Qin State, and there is not much left. Nanyang is South Korea's largest granary.

There is a food problem in Nanyang. Without external help, the whole of South Korea will be affected to some extent.

Secondly, it also means to invite you into the urn.

After many battles with Han Fei, Ye Mu has a certain understanding of Han Fei's character. There is no doubt that he is patriotic.

The night predicted that Han Fei would intervene in disaster relief matters even if he did not lead the disaster relief work himself.

Whether he is leading the disaster relief effort or simply stepping in to help, Ye Mu has a way of tricking Han Fei, but the consequences vary in severity.

Facts have proved that Ye Mu’s guess was correct. Han Fei, who was extremely patriotic, directly requested to be responsible for disaster relief and went to Nanyang to inspect the disaster area in person.

Logically speaking, if Han Fei, the Sikou, had not taken the initiative to ask for disaster relief, Han Fei would not be able to do this job. Si Nong would be the first responsible person.

Naturally, the troubles in Nanyang could not be hidden from Han Fei and others. The emissary Zhang Liang judged that there was something wrong with the Nanyang land based on the files and the famous Nanyang peach Lu Yuebai who paid tribute.

Han Fei, who visited the disaster area in person, didn't take much time to find out that Emerald Tiger was buying and selling fertilizer in Nanyang to monopolize the population, and had mixed quicklime into the fertilizer.

At the same time, it was discovered that Emerald Tiger, under the pretext of purchasing military rations, had purchased grains circulating in the Korean market and cut off resources for disaster relief.

It is worth mentioning that when Han Fei went to Nanyang, the person responsible for protecting Zi Nu was Zi Nu, not Yan Ling Ji.

After all, Tianze and his gang have not cooperated with Liusha in this world and have much better choices.

With no food on the market in South Korea, Han Fei was unable to provide disaster relief through normal channels and could only take desperate risks and gamble with the Emerald Tiger.

The Emerald Tiger still invites the Iron Blood Alliance as a guarantee. Although the Iron Blood Alliance is not the Iron Blood Alliance it once was, it still has the ability to prevent most people in the world from going back on their word, including the vast majority of powerful people.

Of course, Cheng Xi would not personally come forward for such a trivial matter of guarantee. He would just ask Gan Sha and a murderer to bring special masks, bronze tripods, and iron chains.

Not surprisingly, the two brought back the bet between Han Fei and Jade Tiger.

Since the Iron-Blooded Alliance is engaged in such business, even if Han Fei has friendship with the Iron-Blooded Alliance, it is impossible for Han Fei to break the rules alone.

If Han Fei loses, he still has to pay no less.

But in fact, when Jade Tiger signed a bet with Han Fei, Han Fei had already thought of a way and stepped into the trap set by Han Fei.

Han Fei returned to Zilanxuan and explained his method. Everyone was amazed by Han Fei's method of taking chestnuts from the fire.

However, it didn't take long for everyone to realize a problem, they were short of manpower...

The core of Han Fei's method lies in the military rations secretly hidden in the night. The secret military rations were purchased recently and some were stored in the past.

If there is no way to get the military rations hidden in the night, then Han Fei will definitely lose.

The grain purchased from Wei State alone was a drop in the bucket for the drought in Nanyang.

If you want to move the military rations hidden in the night silently, you need enough manpower.

This time they didn't have Tianze's group to help them. They took turns to work. Except for Yan Lingji, all the Hundred Poison Kings were masters.

Not to mention Wushuang Ghost, he is definitely good at carrying bags. The Exorcist can summon corpse puppets to help. As long as the source of power is endless, it will be a tireless work machine.

Tianze, the boss, is also a good worker. One snakehead chain can carry several bags of food. If six of them are taken out together, one trip can carry as much as a small truck.

It's a pity that Tianze won't help them. Jiuyihui is an option, but running from Nanyang to Xinzheng may expose them.

Ye Mu's intelligence ability is not simple. In order to secretly deceive Chen Cang, Han Fei in the anime used a lot of tricks.

Once the news is leaked, the secret military rations are not stolen, and the bet is lost, it will be over.

The most important thing is that Cheng Yu asked Mo Ya to send out the Bird Killer, who is looking for trouble from the Jiuyi Society, and the Jiuyi Society is now flawlessly taking care of him.

Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu were busy with the things assigned by Han Fei and had no time to help the Jiuyi Society.

The Jiuyi Association is not good, and the soldiers under Sikou, Zuo Sima, and Sili are even less good.

God knows how many night eyes and ears are hidden in those people...

Han Fei thought a lot, but in the end there was no good solution. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

He could only succumb to the pressure of reality and sent Zi Nu to invite Cheng Xi. Cheng Xi seemed to have known about Liu Sha's plight and happened to be at his house.

You must know that Cheng Xi, who was running on both sides of Yan Lingji and Madam Mingzhu, rarely stayed in the mansion anymore.

This time Cheng Xiu did not take his own carriage when he went to Zi Lan Xuan, but shared a carriage with Zi Nu. The reason was of course to hide it from others.

In fact, even though Zi Nu has come to Cheng Mansion so many times, Ye Mu actually doesn't even know about Cheng Xi's existence.

First, the birds were infiltrated into a sieve by the dragon, and all the information that needed to be submitted by the ink crow was screened.

Of course, Lin Yi Ke is the leader in charge of night intelligence, and the channel for transmitting intelligence is definitely not just Mo Crow.

Secondly, all the families around the Cheng Mansion were replaced by killers and intelligence agents, who surrounded the mansion tightly.

As long as a stranger breaks into this area, they will disappear silently.

There is only one possibility for these disappeared people to reappear, and that is to become peripheral members of the snare.

Whether it is someone who breaks in accidentally or a night intelligence agent who enters deliberately, if you want to survive, you can only choose to join, otherwise you will have to disappear completely.

When Xuanjian bought the house for Cheng Xi, he bought the surrounding areas of the house.

The housing prices in Xinzheng Chengnan are not expensive, but if they are priced at a 30% premium, Xinzheng Chengnan, where most people live in poverty, cannot resist such temptation.

Of course, poverty is only relative. Compared with farmers in the countryside, residents in the south of Xinzheng are considered wealthy.

After getting on the carriage, Zinu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine. Chenglong sipped the wine, smelled the fragrance around him, chatted all the way, and soon arrived at Zilanxuan.



As Zi Nu came to a private room on the third floor, Zi Nu opened the door and Cheng Xi walked in.

Seeing Cheng Xi arrive, everyone in the box stood up to greet him, and after greeting him, they each took their seats.

"Brother Han hasn't had a drink with me for a long time. You must have something to discuss with me this time, right?"

Cheng Yu smiled, but what he said made Han Fei a little embarrassed.

The subtext is: You don’t think of me when you drink normally, but you think of me when something happens.

"Ahem, Brother Cheng, please forgive me. I've been busy with a lot of things lately, so I have no time and I'm not in the mood to drink."

"Secondly, to be honest, King Qin asked you to help me. I feel a little more awkward than before."

"I offer you a toast to express my apology."

Han Fei looked a little embarrassed, but soon his expression became sincere. He picked up the wine bottle with both hands and bowed from afar.

"Understand, understand."

Naturally, Chenglong would not hold on to it, but picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Han, if you need my help if you need anything, please let me know."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just hope Brother Cheng can support some manpower."

"There's no problem with support manpower, but it's not about the bet, right?"

Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu and others all felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, but others showed it, while Wei Zhuang's face was paralyzed and he didn't show it.

"It seems it's really about the bet, so it's a bit against the rules." Cheng Yu said with a wry smile.

Of course it's against the rules. The Iron Blood Alliance only takes a commission, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses, so it hasn't interfered with the affairs of both parties in the bet.

If the Iron Blood Alliance intervenes, it will help the other party cheat.

If leaked, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation that the Iron Blood Alliance has accumulated over the years.

Han Fei, Zi Nu and others were relatively thin-skinned and were embarrassed to speak for a while, but Wei Zhuang was different.

Wei Zhuang cannot be said to be thick-skinned, but his character of not paying attention to the process and pursuing results made him very receptive to these behind-the-scenes operations.

"As long as both parties keep it strictly confidential and act more carefully, we will ensure that no news will be revealed."

"Didn't King Qin ask you to help Han Fei as much as possible?"

"Although this matter is a bit embarrassing, it should still be within the scope of our best efforts, right?"

Wei Zhuang's words made Han Fei want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. It was embarrassing, really embarrassing.

In order to strengthen South Korea, he actually needed the help of Qin's forces. Han Fei was really embarrassed, but the reality was there and he had to do it.

If he can't get over this hurdle, then he and Liusha will be in danger. Neither he nor the Emerald Tiger can afford to lose this time!

Again, in Han Fei's opinion, this time is different from before.

In the past, everyone was just a personal relationship between friends. You helped me and I helped you. There were no national politics.

Once Ying Zheng got involved, the use of the Iron Blood Alliance changed somewhat, as if a superior was issuing orders to his subordinates.

But he was a Han minister, not a Qin minister, so it was very awkward for him to command with an unjust reputation and words, and he also had to accept Ying Zheng's affection.

"Brother Wei Zhuang is right, this is indeed within the scope of what is possible."

"That's all, compared to the reputation of the Iron Blood Alliance, the king's order is more important."

"I agreed."

"Let me know in advance how many manpower you need so I can deliver them."

Han Fei quickly thanked Cheng Xi on behalf of Liusha. After the matter was settled, the atmosphere became much more pleasant.

Various delicacies were served one after another, and everyone had a good drink together before leaving.

As for Liusha's specific plan, if Han Fei and the others didn't take the initiative to talk about it, Cheng Xi would not be stupid enough to ask.

Whatever happens then is none of his business.



After the manpower problem was solved, Liusha divided the work among themselves and acted according to the plan.

The two sides battled wits and courage. You came and I went back and forth, and the fight was endless.

Cheng Yu did not intervene in the struggle between the two forces, and had been waiting for the opportunity for him to enter the scene.

Han Fei has already succumbed to reality once, so it is not surprising to succumb to reality a second time.

Han Fei, can Liusha afford the price of failure?

This situation is similar to ancient rebellions. The rebel party may make one mistake and be doomed, while the court has more opportunities for trial and error.

The size of both sides is there.

Han Fei didn't want to have anything to do with Qin, but Cheng Yu wanted Han Fei to have something to do with Qin, and the deeper the relationship, the better...

The deeper the relationship, the greater the threat to Ye Mu. When it reaches a certain level, Ye Mu will do whatever it takes to take risks!

At that time, the struggle between all parties in South Korea will enter a fierce stage. As long as they can win, they will not care about anything.

Liusha, Han Yu, and Kaidi may still have a slight bottom line, but with the urine of the night, they can definitely do things like "I would rather give to a friend than a domestic slave."

Because Nightfall has been done before, it just wasn’t a big deal.



The bet was for ten days, and six days passed by in an instant.

Liusha finally sent a message to Cheng Xi, asking him to send twenty people to the designated place at the fourth hour of the Chou hour, that is, at two o'clock in the middle of the night.

In the flower hall of Chengfu, Qian Sha stood respectfully.

"How's it going? Are you all ready?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile on his face.

"According to your instructions, Lord Marquis, the people selected are all bird killers who have fallen into the trap."

"Well, you have to make arrangements in advance."

"It's not certain how long this group of people will survive. The lost part will be replenished by the people trapped in the net."

"We can add more people this time. Mo Crow, Ying Ge, and Bai Feng have already taken control of Ghost Mountain."

It is worth mentioning that Bai Feng successfully became one of the leaders of the birds when they lacked experts.

"My subordinate understands."

"Go ahead."

"Here."

In order to have no flaws, a group of people must be sacrificed. Instead of sacrificing the killers of Luowang, Cheng Yu naturally chose to sacrifice the non-direct lineage killers of Birds.

Who among the Bird Killers can survive, and how much they can survive, depends on their luck.

When killers are always on the verge of death, they must have realized it a long time ago.

The Bird Killers who survive this mission will truly be treated as one of their own and enjoy a series of treatment from the Snare Killers.

At four o'clock in the ugly hour, Gan Sha arrived at the designated place in Quicksand with twenty Bird Killers wearing black uniforms with the Iron Blood Alliance logo and black scarves on their faces.

Before handing these people over to Wei Zhuang, Gan Sha also emphasized that they must obey Wei Zhuang's command, otherwise they would face severe punishment according to the family law.

After saying that, Gan Sha nodded to Wei Zhuang, said hello, and then left.

Cheng Xi knew Liusha's purpose of borrowing people, so it was naturally impossible for him to ask Gan Sha to help move the bags, and it was even less possible for Xuan Jian.

After obtaining these men, Wei Zhuang took them to the grain depot in South Korea where military rations were stored.

Wei Zhuang did not let anyone from the Iron Blood Alliance take action, but took action by himself.

It wasn't because Wei Zhuang was too proud, but because he was worried that the people from the Iron Blood Alliance would act carelessly and kill the Korean Forbidden Army.

Whether it is the pre-Qin era or the subsequent feudal dynasty, those who can become the imperial guards have more or less origins.

The closer they are to the king, the more extraordinary their origins are. They are usually noble disciples of the royal family. In short, they must be from the powerful class. It is basically impossible for them to be ordinary people.

This was especially true in the pre-Qin era.

If the Imperial Guards guarding the granary were killed, it would be impossible for Han Fei to escape death.

If you didn't die, you were just knocked unconscious or injured, then there is still room for improvement.

In the anime, Wei Zhuang robs the granary without pulling out the shark-tooth sword.

Of course, with Wei Zhuang's strength, he can kill people without drawing his sword. After all, he can crush dead bones with his bare hands.

If they really want to attack the vital points, the heavily armed imperial army will not be able to withstand it, but in the anime Wei Zhuang is obviously merciful.

Under Wei Zhuang's attack, all the Imperial Guards responsible for guarding were knocked unconscious, and the door of the military ration depot was successfully opened.

The people of the Iron Blood Alliance brought a carriage specially used to transport goods into the military grain depot. The carriage contained grain bags filled with sand.

Under the command of Wei Zhuang, the people of the Iron Blood Alliance exchanged the fake grains with the grains secretly hidden under the secret door. However, the packages were not completely swapped. The outermost layer was still real grains.

In this way, even if Ji Wuye comes to check, the rice will leak out if he inserts a knife into the grain bag. Only by peeling off a layer can the truth be discovered.

How could Ji Wuye, who already thought he had a chance to win, go check everything?

Ji Wuye was busy going to court to move Han Fei.

Most of the food under the secret door and the food stored in the military ration depot were all taken away by Wei Zhuang, and it did not take long.

The killers of Bai Niao all have martial arts skills. Their strength, speed, and endurance are beyond the reach of ordinary civilians. Their hands and feet are nimble, and their transportation speed is extremely fast.

Then Zhang Liang persuaded Kaidi. Although Kaidi couldn't bear to put his grandson in danger, Zhang Liang was determined and could only let go of the situation appropriately.

When the pursuit failed in time, Wei Zhuang took the carriage and moved the food to other places overnight.

Most people would never think of a place to hide food. Wei Zhuang hid the food in the abandoned Poison Gate station.

This place is relatively remote, and due to the notorious reputation of the Poison Scorpion Sect and the fact that all the Poison Scorpion Sect died here, not many people come here in broad daylight.

In the middle of the night, there is not even a shadow of a ghost. Hiding here can be said to be invisible to ghosts and ghosts...

But is it really true that the ghost is unaware of it?

A half-moon hung high in the sky above a tall building near the Poisonous Scorpion Gate. The night was like water, and the cool night breeze was caressing it...

Cheng Yu stood quietly on the roof with his hands behind his back, silently watching the movement on the other side of the Poisonous Scorpion Gate. Next to him, Yan Lingji, who was wearing an orange-gold dress, stood close to her, with the orange-gold skirt fluttering in the wind...

Tianze, Exorcist, Wushuanggui, and Baidu King each stood at a corner of the roof. Xuanjian and Gansha stood in the middle of the eaves on both sides, slightly further back.

The crowd gathered Cheng Xi and Yan Lingji in the center, like ordinary stars holding the moon...
