C321 Analysis and speculation

I believe Fourth Uncle also knows that among the group of Situ Family to the south, there is only one third of the direct descendant of the family. Although the other two sons are excellent, they are currently in the imperial city and cannot be reached here. And that Old Third of the Situ Family, ha-ha ha, don't tell me my Fourth Uncle doesn't know who he is. He is famous throughout the world! " Hearing Fourth Uncle's question, Xiahou Junyu suddenly laughed.

"Is it that trash with a short lifespan?" Previously, he had been racking his brains trying to figure out who this person was, but after hearing the analysis of his nephew, his heart had finally become clear again. At the same time, he had also ruled out the possibility of a candidate existing in the Situ Family.

"That's right, it's that kid. Just with him?" Is it possible to stand shoulder to shoulder with me? So what if his IQ was shocking? What was there to be nurtured with all the effort of the Surveillance Council for a person who was about to die at such a young age? So no matter who the other candidate was, they would definitely not be someone from the Situ Family! " Xiahou Junyu nodded his head, his tone filled with contempt and disdain, as if bringing up that 'trash and short lifespan ghost' from his own mouth was an insult to himself.

"And the other reason?" Fourth Uncle quickly asked.

"The second is the question of affiliation. Let's not talk about how he obtained the command of Situ Qingyun's army. Just how he could get the people of the Surveillance Council to help him carry out his plans, that would be a big problem. What was he going to rely on? Could it be based on Situ Qingyun's fifty thousand strong army? Attacking people that threatened the Surveillance Council was tantamount to conspiring against a felony. Was it even possible for him to do that? Furthermore, even my nephew hasn't moved from his position in the upper echelons. Can he make the higher ups of the Surveillance Council listen to his arrangements? This was simply impossible! If Situ Qingyun's army were to go another route north, I suspect that the new candidate might really be within the army! " Xiahou Junyu continued to answer.

He was very satisfied with his answer. His analysis was logical and clear. He was also very pleased with himself. In his heart, he even had an impulse to 'who else could the world be but me'.

"Not bad, you have analyzed it so well, you have the attitude of a President of the Council, I believe in you! "Then what do you think we should do next?" Fourth Uncle nodded in admiration as he spoke.

Hearing his own Fourth Uncle's praise, Xiahou Junyu felt as though he was going to ascend to the heavens, and he suggested complacently: "Since the candidate won't appear in the northern troop, we don't need to be so anxious. I have personally experienced this mountain range, no matter how many people we fill it, it's impossible to find the silver taels they're looking for, and we can only return in defeat! We'll just sit in Fengyang City and wait for them to come back before pulling out the silver coins that we prepared beforehand. At that time, I'll see what they have to be conceited about! "

"Haha, good, let's use this kind of 'wait and see' method. This method is really amazing! "Not only is it effortless, but you can also reap the benefits of being a fisherman!" Fourth uncle threw his head back and laughed heartily, praising his nephew without holding back.

"But we can't just do nothing. Otherwise, if so much silver appears, they will be suspicious!" At this time, Xiahou Junyu finally started to act humble, feigning deep in thought as he spoke.

"Then what should I do? This matter cannot have too many Xiahou Family's shadows, if not, even if this matter was done flawlessly, it would still arouse the suspicions of others, resulting in suspicions, and in the end, doubts would arise! " At the same time, he lowered his head and began to ponder.

"How about this, when the silver has arrived at Fengyang City, we will not enter the city. We will move towards the north side of the mountain. When that time comes, I will bring some men with me to search for them. Then I will bring them back to the city in a fair and square manner!" Get everyone in the city to be my witness! " Xiahou Junyu muttered to himself for a long time, and then said.

"Good, haha, high, really high!" As long as the Xiahou Family erases all traces of this matter and leaves no trace for anyone to find, then his nephew would be able to hide this from the world and play his hand in changing pillars with no one knowing of the meaning behind it. At that time, even if the people did not believe him, they would not be able to find any evidence, right?

"Fourth Uncle is too kind!" Xiahou Junyu nodded, he was satisfied with his own thoughts.

"Don't be modest in front of Fourth Uncle!" Fourth Uncle laughed out loud and waved his hand at his nephew, replying with a bit of a joke.

Who would have thought that when he heard Xiahou Junyu's words, they would actually be taken seriously? Furthermore, they were all taken in, and without a trace of politeness, he said: "I also think that there is someone in this world who has a method better than mine, a higher skill? It doesn't exist at all! "

"..." Hearing his nephew's self-righteous words and hearing his arrogant attitude, Fourth Uncle had nothing more to say. Such a person could only be taught a lesson by the facts. Fourth Uncle even wanted to teach him a lesson a bit earlier and let him know what it meant by 'there is always someone more powerful than you, there is always someone more powerful'!

In the north of the empire, in the lush mountain forests, there was a faint group of a dozen people, all of them dressed like beggars, not only were their clothes tattered, but they also emitted a stinky stench, smothering everything within a radius of fifty meters until there was nothing alive, almost as big as a natural 'poison bomb'. Wherever they went, beasts would be alarmed, bugs would fly, and a 'lively' scene.

"Ah ?" Spare me, and let me rest... Hugh. Breath again ? Do... Beg ? "You!" A woman's miserable shriek could be heard, followed by her feeble voice begging for forgiveness. The volume of her voice got lower and lower, so much so that it was difficult for her to say a whole sentence in a single sentence.

"Bitch!" I'll let you steal my money, I'll let you cut off my life! Today, I'll kill you! "Dammit!" A fierce voice said, and it sounded like it was going to tear everything in front of it apart with its mouth.

"I said you are done, she must keep him alive, we have to bring him to his destination, if she dies, then you will have even less way to give the prince an explanation!" A tall man at the side stopped them.

Along the way, he had spoken out many times to stop the violence, but it had not been of any real use. At most, it would slow down her torture and allow her to rest for a few hours.

"Hmph, I'll let you off today!" There's a lot of time ahead of us, let's continue tomorrow! "Haha ?" The fierce voice said to the woman and left with a smile. Throughout the entire process, he didn't even respond to the man, much less look at him.

"Someone, feed her some water and food!" The big man didn't seem to care at all as he instructed the subordinate beside him.

"Yes, captain!" The people closest to him answered in unison.

Soon, two or three people arrived. One of them untied the woman and helped her up from behind. At this moment, the woman was completely powerless. Not to mention escaping, it would be very difficult for her to even lift her hand. Therefore, even if she untied the ropes, she wouldn't be afraid of escaping. It could be considered as causing her to bleed out of her body. If there were any parts where the bleeding wasn't smooth, causing her four limbs to die, it would be a pity if such a beauty became disabled!

As for the other two people, one of them fed her water, and the other fed her crushed rations. If the woman ate the crushed water together, she would at least be able to recover some of her strength.

Not long after, those few people left the woman's side. Perhaps because they were too tired, the woman had already fallen deeply asleep, without caring about the various places where the spring sun shone, as if it had already become her habit. However, there were still some people who couldn't bear to watch this, so they took off their stinky clothes and covered her body.

One of the squad leaders came up to the man and asked, "Captain, how long until we reach the rendezvous point?"

"It should be soon. I think we'll be able to arrive here successfully tonight or around noon tomorrow!" The large man gazed ahead and said indifferently.

For some reason, his voice was filled with hope and desolation. Such a completely opposite feeling unexpectedly appeared on his face at the same time, causing people to be astonished. It was as if the destination before him, even if it was the end of his hope, was the door to death.

"Then let the brothers rest! After a few days of travel, everyone is starting to run out of energy! " The captain suggested.

"Alright, notify them to rest here. After a cup of tea, we will continue our journey!" "Wake up those on guard duty. Be careful not to get smeared on the neck!" The big man looked around at the people around him. Each of them had an indescribable tiredness on their faces, as if they hadn't slept for a long time. In reality, it had been a long time since they had slept peacefully.

"Yes, captain!" Right now, to them, having a good rest was the biggest reward, much better than any other material and monetary reward!

This group was made up of Shi Haowen, Guard Commander and the rest, and the lady was Lu Baihuan's captured wife. Originally, they should have arrived at the rendezvous point long ago. However, they encountered some ambushes along the way, causing them to have no choice but to change routes several times. Thus, the distance between them was lengthened to a certain extent.

Furthermore, the target of the ambush was obviously to rescue Lu Baihuan's wife. This was the reason why Shi Haowen had tortured Lu Baihuan's wife so much, even though he was a member of the Blood Illusion Valley and had almost killed Shi Haowen with one of his sneak attacks.

It was unknown if it was because of the continuous change of routes that they had lost the pursuers who had launched frequent sneak attacks. In short, for the past two days, they had not been attacked by anyone, but of course, they hated the actions of the Blood Illusion Valley to the bone, and after giving their all, they were waiting for the news of the King, then led their armies to slaughter Blood Illusion Valley's camp to vent the hatred in their hearts.
