C175 intelligence data
"That's how it is! I've told you all my plans! " Gongsun Ztian had a pleading expression as he spoke to the two little girls.
"All? But drop it! In all of the matters that you're currently talking about, you never mentioned how unlucky Wu Daode was, nor did you mention where he was going with five hundred thousand silver, much less what it would be like for those people of the Duke Palace who brought fake silver taels with them! Is that all you said? " Leng Nuohan had a puzzled look on her face as she began to point her fingers at the loopholes in Gongsun Ze Tian's plan.
"Are there any more intelligent women than you?" Gongsun Ztian asked playfully.
"I don't think so. Why do you ask?" Leng Nuohan knew that the other party was joking around with him, so he decided to make a joke out of it.
"So I found the smartest woman in the world!" Gongsun Ztian pretended to be proud as he said.
"Why would they say that it's the women of the world and not the whole world!" Leng Nuohan asked with some doubt.
"Because I am also very smart!" Gongsun Ztian shamelessly answered.
"You can be more shameless!" Leng Nuohan sneered, and said while giving Gongsun Zaitian a big supercilious look.
"Cough cough!" They never know of the existence of face! " Although Gongsun Ztian was thick-skinned enough to block all attacks, he still said with a humble expression.
"Pavilion Master, I've brought the information back!" Just as Gongsun Ze Tian and Leng Nuohan were joking around, Qiong Yu knocked on the door and walked in.
"Quick, let me take a look!" Gongsun Ze Tian quickly received the information and continued browsing by the side.
"Sister Qiong Yu, you just missed a wonderful story!" At this time, Little girl Lan'er ran over and pulled Qiong Yu's sleeves and asked.
"Oh? "Really? I have another story here!" Qiong Yu really liked the little girl, Lan Er, so he said that as he lovingly rubbed the back of his head.
"Really? Sister Qiong Yu, quickly tell me!" Lan Er's face was filled with anxiety as she urged.
"Looks like the plan is progressing smoothly. All the chess pieces are going according to plan. It looks like it's progressing smoothly!" Gongsun Ztian did not look up. It was as if he was talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to someone.
"So you know what Sister Qiong Yu is going to say?" Leng Nuohan smiled and asked.
"Qiong Yu, tell them!" Gongsun Ze Tian looked at Leng Nuohan. He knew that this girl had guessed everything, but seeing Lan Er's anxious and eager eyes, he ordered Qiong Yu.
"Yes, Pavilion Master. The victims have all gone back, they did not harm the young master. Our men only took the tokens, letters and other worthless things, and left the rest of the silver notes and crushed silver to them. " Qiong Yu had just gone to check the latest information that she received before bringing back the information that Gongsun Zaitian wanted.
"There's no doubt about it. They're just a little bit poor, and aren't idiots. They can't possibly do something like snatching away the silver taels!" Gongsun Ztian explained.
"But this is still a bit contrary to human nature!" Leng Nuohan repeated her point of view.
"What is human nature? No matter how much money they had, if they couldn't spend it, it would be a pile of scrap metal. Living with money was always important, and that was the nature of rational people. An irrational person could also be called human nature? It's called beastly! " Gongsun Ztian seemed to be able to see through human nature as he retorted.
"That's right. Only a rational person can be called a person. Having lost their rationality, a person like that is no different from a wild beast. Sister Qiong Yu, continue talking! Leng Nuohan thought that it was right, so she did not continue the topic of human nature, but rather, allowed Qiong Yu to continue.
Human nature was a special existence that not even Fiendgods or Fiendgods could completely understand since ancient times. It's as if you can't understand that two very nice people can kill each other, and you can't understand that one of two completely unfamiliar people can risk his or her life to save the other person, even if it means losing his or her life.
What is human nature? Everyone was just a spectator. They might be able to criticize or make random comments, but no one had ever imagined what kind of situation they would encounter if they became the person involved. Human nature could be ugly or beautiful, but no matter what it was, it would only be rendered by two colors. One was black like ink, and the other was red like blood.
"Yes, Wu Daode and Qian Jincheng have safely returned to the city, and the one who escorted him back was a general from the east of the city, I don't know why, but he happened to appear near the south side of the city. Since he gave the victims a reason to retreat, and also helped Wu Daode and Qian Jincheng to do so, it would definitely be a good thing for them, if I didn't know that the other side coincidentally brought their troops out of the city, I would have thought they were our people too!" Qiong Yu continued after nodding his head.
After Qiong Yu finished speaking, she realized that the two girls were looking at Gongsun Zaitian at the same time.
"Could it really be one of us?" Qiong Yu asked with an astonished expression.
"He is not someone from the Listening Rain Pavilion, but he has a great relationship with your Lord Pavilion Master!" Leng Nuohan looked at Gongsun Zaitian playfully, unrestrainedly betraying his intentions.
"What?" Qiong Yu turned pale with fright. She had still been considering on ways to prevent the retreat of the victims from appearing out of the blue, making everyone think that it was a coincidence, making everything happen naturally. However, after thinking for a long time, she still wasn't able to think of a practical way. Who would have thought that in the end, it would be this way that the game would be completed? All the chess pieces were willing to become chess pieces without the slightest of notice and continued with their next plans.
"Alright, Qiong Yu, continue on! Lan Er will explain the situation to you later! " Gongsun Ze Tian looked at Qiong Yu's stupefied expression. He really did not know what to say to not strike a blow on this woman, whose heart was already very weak. He only needed to ask Lan Er to recount it properly to her later.
"Yes, Pavilion Master. Due to the intervention of the cavalry from the south of the city, the gang fighting in the south of the city calmed down, and the people who were in charge of obstructing the traffic also retreated. No one was exposed, everyone left the Fengyang City immediately, and even if they wanted to, they were unable to find any clues. Although the surprise on Qiong Yu's face receded, the shock in her heart did not decrease at all.
"What about the Surveillance Council?" Gongsun Ztian casually asked.
"The two people sent by the Surveillance Council to disaster victims entered the city smoothly. However, after they entered the Surveillance Council, only three carrier pigeons flew out of the courtyard, and no one came out! Our people are still guarding the surroundings. If anything happens, we will inform Pavilion Master right away! " Qiong Yu answered truthfully.
"You dare to watch Surveillance Council?" Leng Nuohan looked at Gongsun Zaitian in astonishment. If the Surveillance Council was aware of this, he would probably be under the guard of the entire Surveillance Council, or even cause the entire power to topple because of this. Otherwise, the Imperial Overwatch Council would not be known as the number one power in the Empire.
In regards to this, Leng Nuohan had to admit that Gongsun Ze Tian was truly bold. Perhaps, she should call him 'crazy', rather, it should be called that.
Almost everyone felt that crazy lunatics were the most headache-inducing because they were irritable, crazy, and even unreasonable. They were calm and rational, they were persistent, they knew how to judge the situation, they knew how to hide, and they never played their cards according to common sense. This kind of madman would make you fear him from the bottom of your heart, fear him, but you would never know that such a madman existed. Because those who know all die, and those who don't will never know that this kind of madman is the true lunatic.
And Gongsun Ztian was such a complete and utter madman. The most terrifying madman, as well as the most insane madman.
"What's the big deal!" Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. They would only report this matter to the imperial court. The real culprits would not be them, but the people from their own court. Qiong Yu, let our people withdraw! " Gongsun Ze Tian gave the order after thinking for a while.
"Yes, Pavilion Master. "Also, the target's people and 'goods' are on their way. Our people are watching them closely!" After Qiong Yu received the order, she spoke of the most important information.
"They must be satisfied with the appetizer! Of course, they must also savor other dishes as well! " Gongsun Ztian had an evil smile on his face. Immediately, the two women in the room couldn't help but shiver.
"Rest assured, Pavilion Master. The dishes are already in place. The chefs are also in place. We're just waiting for the guests!" Qiong Yu continued.
"Mm, not bad. "Everything will be as planned!" Gongsun Ze Tian nodded as he instructed.
"What are you talking about? Are you even going to open a restaurant for a chef or an appetizer?" Leng Nuohan was confused and asked.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I've found something interesting. Do you want to hear about it?" Gongsun Zaitian changed the subject. Some of the plans could not be revealed yet because some of the arrangements had yet to be completed. Furthermore, with Lan Er here, Lan Er's ability to keep his secret was extremely safe. However, Lan Er's ability to keep his secret was completely useless in front of Murong Fenghuang, his mother, so for the sake of safety in the future, she could not let Murong Fenghuang know about this matter.
"Oh? Tell me about it! " As if he knew what Gongsun Zaitian was thinking, Leng Nuohan subconsciously looked at Lan Er, who was at the side, and coordinated with him to change the topic.
"According to intelligence, the Blood Illusion Valley and the Sword League have never been on good terms, and in the past, the leaders of the two great sects had once fought over a woman and became jealous, and fought fiercely. In fact, the battle even escalated into a confrontation between two great powers. Gongsun Zaitian read the intel.
"This woman must have some background, right?" After Leng Nuohan slightly paused for a moment, she suddenly thought of a possibility.
"She has the idea of asking, that woman really has some background. She comes from the Dreamscape Villa, and is the illegitimate daughter of the Dreamscape Villa's master. Is it that interesting?" Gongsun Ze Tian looked at Leng Nuohan with approval, then explained.
"So that's how it is. It seems that Dreamscape Villa didn't give it away for nothing. Isn't such a method of instigation a bit inferior?" Leng Nuohan asked suspiciously.
