C316 To whom? (To whom?) Lower)

"Our goal? "What do you mean?" Cui Ziyi was even more confused now. Wasn't the goal of this trip to find five hundred thousand silver coins, and to find out the strongholds of all the secret intelligence agents in the north and exterminate them all? His goal was clear, what did all of this have to do with what the kid was talking about?

"Who do you think this is against? Clear the secret stronghold? Or do you want to enter the mountain and conduct a carpet search? " Gongsun Ztian shook his head and asked.

"This ?" Cui Ziyi was speechless. What Gongsun Ze Tian was talking about was the real purpose of their trip here, but looking at his mocking expression, it seemed like these goals were wrong.

"You guys aren't even in the right direction. I really wonder what you two are doing here!" Gongsun Ze Tian shook his head in disappointment and sighed.

"Then tell me, why did you bring your uncle's army here?" Cui Ziyi was a little annoyed. How could he bear to be ridiculed by a little kid like himself, who had such a huge beard?

"Fight!" Gongsun Zaitian simply replied with two words.

"Fight? With whom? " Cui Ziyi was simply confused by the little bastard in front of him as he asked in confusion.

"Do you know what sort of power is concealed in the north?" Gongsun Ztian pointed to the north and asked.

"What kind of power?" Cui Ziyi subconsciously repeated. As for what kind of power it was, how many there were, and what its combat power was, the Surveillance Council did not know. Otherwise, he would not have sent half of the Surveillance Council's strength out at once.

"At least a hundred thousand elite soldiers, and all of them are elite cavalry!" Gongsun Ztian gave a weird smile and said affirmatively.

"What!? A hundred thousand? Or elite soldiers? " Cui Ziyi was completely dumbstruck by this conclusion. He was unable to imagine what kind of existence the other party was, if this wave of energy were to create chaos within the empire, then it wouldn't be long before the empire would be in danger of destruction. This was definitely a huge hidden danger.

"At least a hundred thousand!" Now do you know what we're here for? " Gongsun Ztian stressed.

"500,000 silver?" At least a hundred thousand elite riders? "You ?" "You have proof?" Cui Ziyi muttered to himself, but very quickly he found a connection. This huge sum of money from the north could very likely be used to provide food for this army, but the Surveillance Council still did not know what kind of hidden danger was inside the Empire. No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible for it to happen, so Cui Ziyi shook his head and asked Gongsun Zaitian.

"Yes, but now is not the time to show it to you. Let me ask you, will you give me the commanding authority or not?" Gongsun Ztian first nodded, then, he shook his head and asked Cui Ziyi. At the same time, he looked straight into Cui Ziyi's eyes, with a resolute expression that seemed to be telling Cui Ziyi that he absolutely needed the 'authority to command'.

"Does the dean know about this?" Cui Ziyi still did not agree with Gongsun Ze Tian's words and instead continued to ask.

"I know, I've sent him a letter before I left. I assume his instructions are on the way!" Gongsun Ztian calmly nodded.

"Then why didn't you wait for the order? Are you afraid that your master will not agree? " Cui Ziyi asked in confusion. Just from what Gongsun Ztian had told him, if he and the dean were to exchange positions, he would definitely agree to it immediately. In that case, wouldn't it be even more reasonable and fair? Why take the risk of offending?

"Time waits for no one, I originally planned to have the spies conduct an all-round surveillance of several suspected important towns in the north for three days, and during this time, we can quietly wait for the order of the dean to arrive. However, I was unconscious for three days, and in less than two days, we will arrive at the camp of the fifth station, and then we will have to take substantive action. If we fight for the commanding authority then it will be even more time-consuming, so I need to find a heavyweight to speak for me!" It will allow me to smoothly obtain command! " Gongsun Zaitian didn't avoid Cui Ziyi at all, straightforwardly revealing his original plan, as if he truly treated Cui Ziyi as his most trusted person.

"Aren't you afraid of offending those higher-ups in the Surveillance Council?" Cui Ziyi thought for a while, then asked again. Although he could tell that this brat in front of him was not aiming to be the principal of the Surveillance Council, he was afraid that the others might think too highly of him. But there was no need to go against the other higher-ups in the Surveillance Council for this. Was this trip to the North really that important? They would rather offend people for this.

"Of course it's inconvenient for me to show my face. I'll be the one to take care of the white face. I'm just looking for a black face as a shield!" Gongsun Ze Tian shamelessly laughed and directly 'removed' himself.

"Is that why you found me? That means you want me, this old man, to take the blame for you? " After Cui Ziyi heard Gongsun Ze Tian's shameless words, he was stunned for a moment, and then, completely dumbfounded, he asked Gongsun Ze Tian.

"You can say that! Actually, there is one more thing. Because only you know my true identity, you should be someone that the dean has arranged for me to trust the most in this trip! I didn't guess wrongly, Master Examiner! " Gongsun Ze Tian shamelessly continued speaking.

"Haha, you're a little imp, right! But as for the matter you mentioned, it involves too much. I can't give you an answer right now, so please allow me to consider it for one night. I'll give you a confirmation letter tomorrow morning! " Cui Ziyi laughed out loud, but regarding the request that Gongsun Ze Tian had mentioned, he had to truly think about it carefully. This matter did not concern him, but rather involved the interests of the entire Surveillance Council.

If this brat was truly defeated, then there was a high chance that the Surveillance Council would be removed from the continent. This matter involved too much, and if one had to blame this time, they could only send too many Surveillance Council's elites, and Gongsun Ze Tian was asking for too much.

At the same time, Cui Ziyi also discovered a problem, with his own little IQ, he would not do anything in front of this brat, and he might not even know when he would sell it, so he had to go back and think carefully about what this guy had said, to see if there were any traps or loopholes. If he fell into them, then Surveillance Council would be dead.

If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will immediately ask Third Uncle to bring his soldiers back to the Fengyang City. As for the loss of food and fodder for the past few days, our Situ Family is still able to afford it! "Hu!" Gongsun Ze Tian pulled Cui Ziyi, who was about to leave, and solemnly said to him.

"Aiyo, you stinking brat, you're threatening me?" Cui Ziyi replied with a smile.

"Elder Cui, do you think that's a threat? Actually, the reason why you know about the five hundred thousand taels is because I'm adding fuel to the fire. If I didn't want to remove the tumor in the empire, why would I wade in this muddy water? To provoke an influential figure of the empire without reason! It's not worth it! " Gongsun Ztian shook his head as he denied it.

"Mm, this old man knows about this! I'll give you my answer tomorrow morning! " Cui Ziyi's face also turned serious as he nodded at Gongsun Ze Tian.

"Junior will quietly wait for Jia Yin!" Gongsun Ztian sat up straight and bowed with his hands cupped in front of his chest. He could be considered sending off his guests.

"Little fox!" But to be honest, I'm starting to look forward to the Surveillance Council being led by you. My eyes are still not as good as your master's, but he's still quite accurate in his judgement! " Seeing that Gongsun Ze Tian had cupped his hands, wanting to drive him away, Cui Ziyi was not anxious at all.

"I don't know if people are allowed to see him, but the ability to play with others has truly made me look at him in a new light!" Gongsun Ztian snorted disdainfully as he replied.

"Are you saying that your Master wants you to go through all this trouble?" Cui Ziyi asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm saying that my master is toying with Xiahou Junyu!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head with a smile and gave his answer without any objections.

"How do you know?" Cui Ziyi was surprised and confused by his answer. Even if they wanted to eliminate him, they would have to find a reasonable excuse to do so. At the very least, they had to shut the mouths of the people in the imperial court up.

Hehe, let's not talk about the others. If we want to find the tracks of five hundred thousand silver taels and a dozen people in this vast mountain, this matter is not simple. Rather than calling it an assessment on him, it is more appropriate to force him to lower his head and admit defeat. Gongsun Ze Tian faintly smiled, his fingers subconsciously started to tap on the car board, slowly explaining to Cui Ziyi.

"Then how do you know he won't succeed? What if he finds five hundred thousand silver? " Cui Ziyi asked.

"Believe me, unless he relies on the Xiahou Family to raise this huge sum of money, it would be absolutely impossible for him to find these five hundred thousand silver taels!" Gongsun Zaitian answered in a mysterious manner.

"How can you be sure?" Cui Ziyi hurriedly asked.

"Because..." Gongsun Zaitian opened his mouth to explain, but his next words were cut off.

"Reporting to the elders, there is an urgent message sent over from the imperial court for you to take a look yourself!" A deep voice of a man could be heard from outside the carriage, reporting in with extreme respect.

"Alright, I'll be there right away!" Cui Ziyi replied.

"Dean is faster than I thought. It seems like we don't need to go through so much trouble!" Gongsun Ze Tian revealed a gratified smile. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He felt as though the stone in his chest had finally been put down.

"How do you know it's a message from the dean?" Cui Ziyi did not understand, why did this brat think that it was a letter from the Principal, that it could not be anyone else, and why did the person who came to report not reveal anything.

"Are you belittling my intelligence? Who in the Surveillance Council can ask you to read the letters alone? I suspect that in the letter you agree with me, but just in case, you have to stay by my side all the time, just in case I have any evil plans, and you have the power to take away my military authority and imprison me, I'm not wrong about that! " Gongsun Ze Tian rolled his eyes at Cui Ziyi and calmly said it out. He even started to boldly guess the contents of the letter.

"I will only know about it after reading the letter!" Rest in peace! I'll come and find you again tonight! " Cui Ziyi obviously did not believe him. After throwing down those words, he left!

He was extremely tired. After all, with his current level, looking at such a simple memory fragment was already a very tiring thing, not to mention that Gongsun Ze Tian's condition was not his best yet. It was already quite impressive that he was able to last talking to Cui Ziyi for so long without falling asleep.
