Yun Yang snorted, a murderous glint in his eyes as he said, "So this is the truth behind the Nine Supremes' mishap. All the more reason why these two people can't be left alive. The Nine Supremes Lords are the Empire of Yutang's great heroes. They're our greatest enemies for harming our heroes. They must pay the price for this! "
"We, the people of Yutang, have always regretted not being able to avenge the Nine Supremes Lords. Now that we have such an important clue, we must bring these two to justice no matter what. We must cut them into pieces, dismember them, and grind their bones into ashes!"
"I was only willing to help the three of you because we were like-minded. Now that we have a common enemy, we should work together and help each other!"
The three Venerable Lords could not help rolling their eyes when they heard Yun Yang's words. Do you think it's so easy?
Bring them to justice? They were speechless …
Which of these two people was easy to bring to justice?
Yun Yang stood up and bowed deeply. "I hope the three Venerable Lords can help me a little. Tell me the identities of these two people and their hiding places. I must eliminate these two people, these two common enemies, with all I have! "
"Young Master Yun, these two people are too capable …" Venerable Lord Snow said, "It's not that we don't want to tell you. In fact, we wish for these two people to die faster than anyone else. However, if we tell you, it'll be sending you to your death. Young Master is a young man with a bright future ahead of you. Why do you have to be impulsive and provoke an invincible enemy? "
Yun Yang pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "It looks like if I don't give the three of you some confidence, it'll be hard for the three of you to have the will to fight. I won't keep you in suspense anymore. There's something that the three of you might know, but you might not be very clear about it."
He lowered his voice.
The three of them felt nervous at the same time and could not help asking, "What is it?"
"I believe the three of you know that Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou are in Tiantang City now." Yun Yang said in a low voice, "However, the three of you probably don't know that these two people are staying together. Although it's only the first time they've met each other, they're like old friends …"
The trio's eyes shone when they heard him. "If these two people were to help us in battle, it would be a different story."
But then he sighed and said, "But how can these two people be so easily mobilized?"
Yun Yang flashed a mysterious smile. "There's always a way out. I believe the three of you know that. Big Brother Ling Xiaozui has a grudge with the Four Seasons Tower and owes me a huge favor … If I were to ask him to act and the target is someone from the Four Seasons Tower, I believe the chances are pretty high … "
The three Venerable Lords sucked in a cold breath in unison, looking at Yun Yang like they had seen a ghost. "Really? Is Young Master Yun speaking the truth? "
"It's 100 percent true!" Yun Yang promised seriously, "Just last night, Brother Ling and the rest came to my house for a drink and formally introduced Senior Dugu to me!"
As soon as he said that, the three of them felt a wave of dizziness. It took them a while to regain their composure. They looked at each other and saw the look in each other's eyes.
This was feasible!
It was definitely feasible!
Thinking of this, the three of them who had reached a consensus immediately became spirited.
If they could live, why would they want to die? What was more, there was still hope for revenge. It was a great opportunity to annihilate their enemy. How could they let it go?
Venerable Lord Snow sucked in a deep breath. "If Young Master has such a strong support, the situation will be different. I can tell Young Master about those two people. However, Young Master, you still have to be cautious … If Ling Xiaozui isn't willing to act, then … you must not act recklessly. Where there's life, there's hope! "
"Don't worry, don't worry. I treasure my life very much as well!" Yun Yang said.
The four of them exchanged smiles.
Venerable Lord Snow lowered his voice to a whisper. "One of them is the crown prince's chief strategist, Sir Bi … Sir Bi is especially dangerous. Setting aside his high cultivation base, there are countless secret tunnels and mechanisms in his residence alone. Just inside his residence, there are countless mechanisms and secret passages, many of which are more than a hundred feet underground, and there is even a secret passage that leads to five hundred miles out of the city! "
"Other than that, Sir Bi has more than one substitute," Venerable Lord Snow said.
Venerable Lord Snow said, "His substitutes are hiding in his residence … From what I know, there are at least three of them. Even if one of them is killed, it's hard to determine if it's the real body or a substitute. His many substitutes, be it their expressions, height, weight, or even their auras, are exactly the same. There's no way to differentiate them in detail. "
"So there's such a thing … This is a little tricky …" Yun Yang frowned and began to ponder, his palms breaking out in cold sweat. It was fortunate that he did not act rashly. Otherwise, he would have fallen into a trap.
"As for the other person, he's the martial of one of them," Venerable Lord Snow said. Venerable Lord Snow said, "He's a high official in the Board of War, the third person in the military after Fu Baoguo … he's specifically in charge of approving military plans … Wu Ying."
Yun Yang's expression changed abruptly when he heard the words.
Wu Ying?
Yun Yang thought the name sounded familiar, but he did not feel that it was familiar at the same time.
This person was just like his name, untraceable and hard to trace.
This person held a position in the Board of War and had his own courtyard. He was specifically in charge of approving and approving military plans. His position was extremely high, and the reason he had such a high position was that his military accomplishment was unimaginably high. There was basically nothing that could be changed about any plan that came out from his hands.
Not only did no one dare to change it, but no one could!
Ever since he had taken up this position, not only had he not made any mistakes, he had never even stepped out of the courtyard!
Only a few trusted aides would send him all the required information, and he would toss them out of the window after he was done with the verification.
Such a maverick could not even be considered as a reclusive person; he was simply living in seclusion!
As time went by, everyone knew that there was such a person in the Board of War. He was high and powerful, but he never showed his face.
Therefore, Yutang's officials' evaluation of him was that he was a person who was only willing to lower his head and work honestly!
Even when Old Grand Commandant Fang Qingtian was sick and unable to handle many matters, and Fu Baoguo was not around, Wu Ying could still manage all the work in the Board of War in an orderly manner with only a few pieces of paper. There was no trouble at all!
Everything he had handled had proven one thing – he was a wise man who could devise strategies and determine victory from a thousand miles away.
This person was Fang Qingtian, Qiu Jianhan, and the other old marshals' most trusted and most valued person!
Based on the current situation, after the Old Grand Commandant passed away and Fu Baoguo did not return from guarding the border, the future number one person in the Board of War would only be this person!
No one could do it better than him!
Fu Baoguo had even said that this person had the talent to rule the world and that he was far inferior to him in military matters!
It was also because of this reason that when Yun Yang was looking for the traitor, he had even investigated the empress herself thoroughly. Even the emperor was within his range of suspicion and he did not trust Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin a hundred percent.
However, he had never thought that the traitor would be this person!
Even now, when Venerable Lord Snow uttered this name, Yun Yang felt as if a bolt from the blue had exploded in his heart, but there was also an incredulous thought.
"What's going on with him? Unbelievable …"
Yun Yang murmured.
Until now, Yun Yang had even thought that Venerable Lord Snow was slandering Wu Ying. However, after thinking about it again and again, he still believed it. This was because the most unlikely traitor might not necessarily not be a traitor. The most impossible person was usually the one who was in the dark!
"I know that young master must have doubts. Actually, the proof that Wu Ying is' martial 'can be very simple … This person has an extremely high cultivation base …" Venerable Lord Snow said, "At least, it's higher than ours. I think this proof is enough!"
Yun Yang was immediately enlightened. It was true that if Wu Ying only had a certain level of cultivation base, it could not be considered as proof. However, if he had an ability that was even higher than the three Venerable Lords, then it would be a huge problem. Just the theory of him hiding in the imperial court could not be justified!
"There's one more thing that I need to reiterate. This person's intelligence is not any weaker than Sir Bi's." Venerable Lord Snow said, "Compared to Mr. Nian who has always been famous in the world … these two are the real venomous snakes of the Four Seasons Tower, the real venomous warriors!"
"Strictly speaking, their positions in the Four Seasons Tower aren't very high. They're even below us and have to be restrained by our Venerable Lords. However, when it comes to worldly affairs, especially those related to Yutang, Ziyou, Dongxuan, Dayuan, and other empires … these places … no matter what the Four Seasons Tower does, it has to go through their hands."
"These two people are the civil and martial ministers of the Four Seasons Tower!"
Yun Yang's body swayed as he sighed faintly.
If he had the Four Seasons Tower's intelligence network as a foundation, Wu Ying's halo of knowing everything in the world and being able to devise all sorts of schemes could be reduced by a little.
"Therefore, we must proceed with caution. We can't afford to be careless." Venerable Lord Snow had repeated this more than ten times that night.
"I understand. I truly understand now." Yun Yang said, "If I don't have complete confidence, I won't act rashly and alert the enemy."
He then stood up and said, "Rest well here, the three of you. This is a very secluded place. I can guarantee that as long as you don't show yourselves, those assassins won't be able to find you even if they flip the entire Tiantang City upside down. Compared to them, I, Yun Yang, am the true local boss of Tiantang City! "
He said softly, "Therefore, the three of you should take care of yourselves first and recuperate quickly. In the future … we have plenty of time. "
The three of them nodded in unison.
Looking at the two bottles of medicinal pills that Yun Yang left behind before he left, the three of them were overwhelmed with emotions.
Yutang's Young Master Yun was indeed a friend worth befriending!
He was courageous, upright, and righteous. His strong sense of brotherhood went without saying. His meticulous and meticulous care was enough to move one's heart and leave a lasting impression on them.
"It's a pity that we were on the opposite side from the start. The knot in our hearts is always hard to untie." Venerable Lord Sword sighed slightly. "Otherwise … I would really like to have a closer relationship with such a friend."
Venerable Lord Snow snorted and said, "Put away your extravagant hopes. Young Master Yun has been extremely benevolent to us. Befriending him is only creating trouble for him."
"My only wish now is to repay young master's favor as much as I can. Whether I roam the world from now on or retire into seclusion in the forest, I'm so tired." Venerable Lord Frost sighed as well.
The three of them spoke no more, remaining silent.
…
Yun Yang returned to his residence and frowned, not speaking for a long time.
Just from the three Venerable Lords' descriptions, Yun Yang could imagine how terrifying these two people, one civil and one martial, were!
Just like what he had said, to deal with these two people, they could not act rashly.
Only under the premise that they had a hundred percent chance of success and had to deal with both of them at the same time could they act. Otherwise, even if they could take down one of them, the other would vanish from this world immediately!
Yun Yang could even guarantee that if these two people were to disappear, he might not be able to find them again even if he exhausted his entire life with his current ability!
Yun Yang frowned, racking his brains to come up with a foolproof plan of action.
However, what made him feel the most helpless was that Ling Xiaozui and the other three were not here.
Just like what Ling Xiaozui had said, "Do you need the four of us to be your bodyguards for such a trivial matter in Tiantang City?"
"Now that we're targeting Mr. Nian, it means that the Four Seasons Tower's top management has been delegated to the four of us. The rest are useless, why would we need to do anything?"
Therefore, they had left last night, not even allowing Yun Yang to watch the battle of the century from the sidelines.
As expected, they had not returned since they left. Yun Yang did not know how much their situation had evolved.
In spite of this, Yun Yang thought that he could not count on the four old men for this battle.
In spite of this, he could only rely on the forces he had on hand to deal with these two extremely frightening characters.
When it rains, it pours. Bai Yixue was not here yet, and he still had to leave someone behind to protect Bao'er and ensure his safety. Based on this, the soldiers he could use were truly limited. How could he ensure that he could take down the two men without any mistakes?
"We are severely understaffed!" Yun Yang sighed gloomily.
