The four hundred and twentieth chapters of the grief of the hidden benevolence (five)
Chapter 424: The Sorrow of Yinren (5)
This year's Spring Festival is much more deserted than last year. On the one hand, last year was when the Spring Festival and the martial arts competition were approaching, and all forces in Luoye County set their sights on Yinren Village, which has always been mysterious and low-key.
In just one year, Yinren has undergone a complete transformation. Not only has it successfully annexed Tiexin Village and been promoted to Yinren Town, but it has also snatched Chunfeng Town from Luoye City, forming the most powerful alliance in the entire Luoye County.
What shocked the forces even more was that just a few days ago, Lin Hengshan, the leader of Yinren Town, was invited to Luoye City. He led five masters alone to cause a scene in the county magistrate!
Although Ji Shenfu tried his best to suppress the process, the surrounding forces are certainly not fools. It is not difficult to deduce that in this battle with real swords and guns, it was the county governor who was at the disadvantage!
This speculation shocked the rest of the four forces! The strength of Yinren Town instantly rose to a higher level again. As a result, during the early Spring Festival of this year, even if Yinren Town pursued an open policy, the other forces among the six forces did not
act rashly.
What's more, in the past few days, the major forces in Luye County, under Ji Shenfu's deliberate propaganda, have received shocking news: Yinren Town is actually a remnant of the previous dynasty!
Regarding this news, no one could judge whether it was true or false. Even Ji Shenfu did not give a positive reply.
Some people choose to believe it, because this can explain why Yinren Town Society has risen so quickly. After all, the background is there. But some people choose not to believe it. Instead, they think it was deliberately spread by Ji Shenfu.
Fake news, looking for excuses for Luoye City’s previous defeats against Yinren Town!
…
Since Li Chengtao came back from Luoye City a few days ago, he has been a little busier than usual these days. First of all, since he has been gone for a few days, the entire mountain patrol team is leaderless. After all, it is not just him as the captain, but also Qingzhu and Venomous Bee.
, also followed him to Luoye City.
And early this morning, the murder of Zhao Yuntian has even pulled out the behemoth "Luo Yunzong". If we really have to face the behemoth Luo Yunzong, Yinren's choice is only a matter of how long he can last, but if he can
By uniting with the two top second-rate sects, Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy, there may be a chance of change.
In fact, Yinren's senior management had been working on this matter a long time ago. On the one hand, he sent his father Li Yunbo to Qingchuan Town to keep in contact, and on the other hand, Yinren was also exploring the forces that opposed Luo Yunguo.
When Li Chengtao and his party arrived at the governor's house, it was the time for Yi Xifeng and the other nine to set off.
"Whether this matter will succeed or not depends on the intentions of Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy!" Captain Chengtao, dressed in a mountain patrol outfit, murmured to himself as he looked at the trail in front of him.
This path is not the kendo path in the deciduous forest that was cut open by Ou Yezi with a sword. Instead, he gained some insights from his battle with Ji Shenfu in the past few days and used the sword gang slash opposite the camp in the maple leaf forest.
out.
Compared with Ou Yezi's sword, it was almost the same in terms of destructive power, but in Li Chengtao's eyes, the path he had cut in front of him always felt like something was missing!
He knew that this was the gap between him and the old man. Although it seemed small, it was actually like a chasm, making it difficult for him to cross.
At this time, a young mountain ranger walked out of the forest, leading a group of people behind him.
"Captain, Master Zhao is here!" It was the young man at the head who spoke.
Li Chengtao nodded and said to the young man: "Hansong, you go about your business first!"
It turns out that this young man is the second-in-command of the intelligence team of the Mountain Patrol, codenamed Han Song. It was he who went to Chunfeng Town to sign the alliance agreement instead of Qingzhu.
On the surface, this person seems to be only in his twenties. In fact, he, Zhang Yanshi and Zhou Di are not the same age. To be precise, he and Li Chengtao are the same age. They are both in their thirties, and they are forty years old.
Already.
Like Li Chengtao, he reached the chivalrous state in his youth, and his strength has been steadily improving, so his appearance has not changed much.
Zhao Yunming asked his bodyguard Tieyi to stand outside the camp, and one person came to Li Chengtao's surface.
"Chengtao, I have met Mr. Zhao." Although Li Chengtao is the captain of the mountain patrol team, apart from Lin Hengshan and the three elders, he is the most powerful person in Yinren Town, and he is firmly seated in the fifth position among the top management of Yinren.
.However, he still bowed to Zhao Yunming first. This had nothing to do with power, just because the other party was the elder of Yinren Town, and at the same time, he was above him in terms of seniority.
"Over the years, under your leadership, the mountain patrol team has gradually matured." Zhao Yunming nodded, accepting the other party's gift.
"The growth of the mountain patrol team cannot be separated from the support of the salary list. Mr. Zhao, when you come to Chengtao today, you must not just come to praise me, right?"
When Zhao Yunming heard this, he also grinned. He knew that for a person like Li Chengtao who was not good at words, it was indeed extremely rare for him to say something like a joke!
At the same time, this high-ranking middle-aged man also knew that the other party did this because of Zhao Yuntian's death, and he did not want to let himself be immersed in the pain of losing his brother.
"Luo Yunzong would take action. We had guessed this before heading to Luoye City, but we didn't expect it to be so fast. The nine of them are burdened with too much! There is absolutely no room for error!" Zhao Yunming said slowly.
Li Chengtao nodded and said calmly: "I know, my father has already mentioned it to me."
Li Yunbo has been in Qingchuan County for so many years in order to open up the path between Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy. As his son, the young man naturally knows the importance of this matter.
"This is just one of them. I suspect that Ji Shenfu's shadow is behind Luo Yunzong's attack this time!" When Zhao Yunming thought of this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
After all, Li Chengtao was the captain of the mountain patrol team. After thinking about it, he understood the key.
After all, Luo Yunzong is too far away from here, and he cannot have such a long eye. He knows the situation of the entire Luoye County and can so accurately grasp the biggest hidden danger in Yinren Town.
It is this Zhao Yuntian, Mr. Zhao. For Yinren to rise smoothly, annexing Tiexin Village is a must! Otherwise, it will be like Chunfeng Town. No matter how rich it is, there is no strategic buffer. Once it is lost, it will be completely
Perish!
This is why the top management of Yinren spends so much energy and takes such a long time to set up a plan! Why can Tiexin be destroyed in three days? Five days, not seven days?
Everyone knows that the original six-party forces, of course, hope that others will fight against each other, so that they can have the opportunity to benefit from the war, and even make huge war windfalls! But if one force annexes one of them, it will touch the bottom line of the six-party forces.
Things will never be allowed to happen!
Therefore, there are only three days, only three days, so that all the forces have no time to rush to help.
The annexation of Tiexin Village has undoubtedly greatly enhanced the strength of Yinren Village. At the same time, Zhao Yuntian also saw the huge hidden dangers. If one day he is gone, where will Tiexin Village go?
So after that, he has been guarding Tiexin Village. Even though his decades of lurking missions have been successfully completed, this tall, thin, middle-aged man still has not returned to the Zhao Mansion in Yinren Town once...
At the same time, Zhao Yuntian vigorously supports the young middle-level forces in Yinren, such as Bai Mei and Teng She. One of these two people is an old man from the intelligence team of the mountain patrol team, and the other is a new member of the combat team from the captain of the guard iron suit. He plans to gradually
Delegate power to the hands of two people, and after three to five years, you can retire with honor.
…
Li Chengtao nodded and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Zhao?"
"Since Ji Shen is behind it, Zhao Yuntian will not be the last target! If he takes over the Luo Yunzong, he will most likely attack other people in my Yinren Town!"
The young patrol captain frowned and murmured: "Mr. Zhao, are you saying that Luo Yunzong might attack Yi Xifeng and the other nine?"
Li Chengtao asked tentatively based on what he just said, but he felt that it was not feasible.
Zhao Yunming shook his head and explained: "The nine of them set off after we went to Luoye City. Ji Shenfu's energy was all on us at the time, so he wouldn't notice..."
Li Chengtao was first moved. It turned out that attending the banquet at Yunxiao Pond was not only a showdown with Ji Shenfu, but to some extent, their group was also covering for Yi Xifeng and others.
Then he asked: "Chengtao is stupid, sir, please clarify my doubts."
The tall, thin middle-aged man nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yinren's side is much more complicated than Tiexin Village. It is difficult to mess up the situation by killing someone. After all, the general's bodyguards are enough for this strong man from Luo Yun Sect.
Drinking a pot is no different from starting an all-out war."
Zhao Yunming paused and continued: "But Yinren is not without flaws. Its biggest shortcoming is also complicated!"
Li Chengtao raised his eyebrows. He understood what the other party said before. Compared with Tiexin Village, Yinren has a more complete mechanism and guard force, and it will not be paralyzed just because a high-level executive was assassinated. Except for Lin Hengshan, the entire Yinren Village
Rendu has a complete emergency response mechanism.
But to his surprise, this complex and perfect organizational mechanism was also a flaw and a shortcoming.
"The lifeline of Yinren is controlled by six major families, and the entanglement between the six major families is one of the flaws. Furthermore, the six major families represent different positions, making it difficult to work together."
Li Chengtao nodded and said: "Lin, Li, Zhao, and Qi are our family, and they can naturally follow the general through life and death. But the Zhong and Wang families, one of them is a foreign business family and the other is a local family, let them openly
It is indeed difficult to resist Luo Yunzong!"
He understood the other party's intention, looked at the tall, thin middle-aged man and said, "Master Zhao, what you want is for Chengtao to pay attention to the movements of the Wang family and the Zhong family?"
Zhao Yunming smiled and nodded, and said: "Brother Yunbo is really lucky! It's rare to have a smart son like you! It's rare!"
"Master Zhao, Zhao Long's talent is no worse than Cheng Tao's!" The young man grinned.
Zhao Yunming smiled and shook his head, and said calmly: "I hope so, but there is one more thing. I want to tell you, I don't care who you send to the Wang family. Go and keep an eye on the Zhong family yourself!"
"oh?"
He went on to explain: "As I said just now, those nine people have a heavy responsibility, and Zhong Rui of the Zhong family is the leader of the armored internal team, and he is the one who caused the problem."
A hint of coldness flashed in Li Chengtao's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Master Zhao, please rest assured, Chengtao will definitely handle it!"
…………Dividing line…………
Xing Mu watched the surrounding mountains gradually getting higher, calculated the distance in his mind, and said to his father in a deep voice: "Isn't this far from Linlang Mountain City?"
Xing Haifu was sitting on a carriage. At this time, he was sitting cross-legged, with his palms folded, and wisps of blood-like red light continued to gather on his palms.
After hearing Xing Mu's question, he slowly took back his power. After two breaths, the old man opened his eyes.
"We'll be there at almost noon! Look at these houses built on the cliff. More than 20 years ago, this place was still deserted. Time flies so fast!"
More than 20 years ago, Xing Haifu was a hard-working hawker. He visited Yunxi County, Luoye County, Qingchuan County...basically all the major counties in Luo Yun Kingdom. Later, a famine destroyed his capital.
I lost everything, so I had no choice but to learn the remaining magic book.
Generally speaking, the threshold for practicing magic skills is not high, but there are not many people who can actually practice it and withstand the first backlash. Even though Xing Haifu is so lucky, he still has a few skills in practicing magic skills. He never thought that he would really learn it.
A kind of magical power.
It's what he calls "The Art of Stealing Life and Sustaining Heaven"! Of course, this name was also given by Xing Haifu himself.
"Can we trust that guy named Yin?" Boss Xing Mu murmured.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the main purpose of rushing to Linlang Mountain City this time was to meet up with Yin, the leader of the Shahe Gang. However, he was not sure about his father's thoughts, so he asked.
"As one of the well-known forces in the city, the Shahe Gang has a certain prestige not only in Luoye County, but also in Yunxi County. Moreover, the people who can be cultivated with the help of the head of a county are not ordinary people."
As he said that, he looked at Xing Mu who was driving the carriage and sighed in his heart: If all your brothers hadn't been dead, I wouldn't have gone to this person!
Xing Haifu knew that it was basically too late for Xing Wutang. The Xing Family Escort Bureau had interfered in the court dispute this time. Even if the Helian family didn't settle the score with him, the big boss behind him would probably push the Xing family as a scapegoat.
!
The old man had seen too many such things, so he simply defected to the Shahe Gang!
As for the reasons, there are many.
First of all, the Shahe Gang has ceiling-like strength in the world of business. Although it was expelled by the county governor Ji Shenfu, it still has the foundation and huge potential.
Secondly, Yin Shisan is very similar to himself. They both come from poor families. The old man is used to seeing the faces of those aristocratic families, and it doesn't seem like he has anything to do with them.
The most important thing is that Yin Shisan does not have any conflict of interest with himself, and at the same time, they both have a lot of connections with Yinren Town.
