Thinking of this, Gu Chaliang could not help recalling the stalking plan. From the beginning to the end, it had been seamless and flawless.
The idea, the plan, the beginning, the ambush, the stalking …
The entire journey had been smooth sailing. Everything had been top secret.
How could they have been ambushed?
Furthermore, they had been ambushed after Heaven's will was shielded! This was an ambush that had been planned for a long time!
Why?
What was the root cause?
At the very least, there was one thing that he could be sure of, and it was that the enemy knew of his existence since the beginning. The enemy knew that so long as his divination ability was present, then ordinary arrangements would be unable to be effective. So, the enemy had to conceal the workings of the heavens and interfere with his ability to make deductions in order to set up a trap and kill him!
However, how had the other party been so sure of his movements? Just the precise timing of the attack was already a huge mystery!
Gu Chaliang's thoughts raced as he suddenly guffawed. "Actually, everyone's physiognomy is very good. Each of them looks like they won't die even if they wanted to …"
He was joking, but his heart was heavy.
The situation before him was definitely unusual. There had to be something amiss.
Gu Chaliang could not help recalling Dugu Chou's repeated questioning of him and the change in his aura. It looked like he was suspecting him …
As for Feng Xiange … he looked generous and generous, yet he was complaining, furious, and telling fortunes … Was he trying to push all the suspicion onto him?
'Then, I'll have to think about it carefully. '
Gu Chaliang glanced at Ling Xiaozui and then at Dugu Chou. A relaxed smile hung on his face, but he had made up his mind.
'To get rid of Feng Xiange, I'll need to find an ally between these two to hope to get out of this predicament. Otherwise, even if I know that the other party is playing tricks, I won't have any evidence to expose them. It'll only backfire if I try to defend myself! '
'Therefore, I can't act recklessly now. '
He thought about it and said, "This hill of the Four Seasons Tower must be where the greatest secret lies. However, there's something strange. Mr. Nian, who came back with the injured patient, hmm, the two of them weren't among the eighteen people. "
"If we calculate it this way, there are twenty experts from the Four Seasons Tower who can fight Brother Ling and Brother Dugu alone!"
Gu Chaliang said thoughtfully, "It's even more illogical to have a lineup of twenty pinnacle experts in this world. After all, everyone's strength was about the same. Who could convince the masses? Therefore, there must be one or a few existences who have the strength to easily crush these people! "
"Otherwise, this organization would have collapsed long ago."
"If that's the case …"
Gu Chaliang said in a low voice, "The situation doesn't look good!"
If Gu Chaliang had thought of this, how could Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou not have? They sighed softly as well.
"Rest for three days, then return at full speed."
Ling Xiaozui came to a swift conclusion.
No matter what, Yun Yang had to know about this as soon as possible.
Because according to their current strength, their lives could be in danger at any moment.
If such an important piece of news could not be passed on, there would be endless troubles in the future.
…
Tiantang City.
Yun Yang was already preparing for the next step of his plan.
The civil and military ministers.
The Civil Minister, Sir Bi, was dead.
Where was Wu Xiang?
Could Wu Ying have committed suicide as well?
It was the dead of the night again.
A gust of wind that had not been seen for a long time quietly drifted out of the Residence of King Yun and drifted away.
The Empire of Yutang's most important military base – the Board of Military.
It was an independent courtyard.
This small courtyard was surrounded by dense pines and cypresses. They were arranged closely together and densely packed together.
It was not only outside the courtyard, but even inside the courtyard was filled with cypress trees.
Each of the pines and cypresses here was of a certain age, towering into the sky. The overlapping canopies of the trees covered the sky above the courtyard completely. Even when it was noon, when the sun was at its brightest, there were barely any rays of light that penetrated through.
Therefore, the entire courtyard had always been eerily eerie throughout the years.
As a result, all the decisions made in this courtyard were tinged with an eerie sense of coldness.
Fortunately, everyone who passed by the courtyard was a hot-blooded warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. They were all courageous people who did not mind the eerie atmosphere at all. Moreover, after years of being used to it, everyone who passed by this place immediately recognized the atmosphere as the 'specialty' of this place.
The courtyard occupied a considerable amount of land, but there was only one person working in it.
It would have been a bit of a waste of resources for him to occupy this huge courtyard alone, but not a single person in the Board of Military questioned it.
The reason was simple, it could even be described as crude. It was because this person was the most efficient in doing things. No one could compare to him!
No matter what kind of strategy or tactic it was, as long as it was passed through the hands of the person in this courtyard, there would at least be a thirty percent chance of winning.
One should never underestimate the thirty percent chance of winning. The battlefield was ever-changing, and it was rare for someone to have more than sixty percent chance of winning. This thirty percent chance of winning was often the key to turning the tide of the battle or even securing the victory!
Furthermore, the thirty percent chance of winning must not be forgotten – it was at least!
Yes, the person in this courtyard was of such a high level!
What was more, the people in this courtyard did not fight for fame or wealth. They did whatever work was available, and they were the best at whatever work they could do. If they were promoted, they would be promoted; if they were transferred, they would be transferred. They would do whatever they were told to do, and they would just work in this courtyard every single day.
After so many years of silent dedication, they had finally achieved a lofty prestige that few in the Board of Military could match.
Wu Ying.
Apart from this courtyard, his figure would not appear in any other realm!
Everyone who passed by this courtyard would always look at him with fear and respect.
It was as if at the end of their line of sight was the sinister and cold fellow in the courtyard who looked like a ghost from hell. He was also looking at them with eyes that seemed to be emitting will-o '-the-wisps.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't be able to enter such a courtyard, but those who were qualified to enter didn't really want to. Everyone who had entered before would have the same thought. If it wasn't necessary, I don't want to pass through here again. Next time, let someone else do it!
Therefore, this place was silent most of the time. Even the graveyard was not as quiet as this place.
However, this night, the people in the courtyard not far away seemed to hear strange noises coming from this courtyard.
It sounded like someone was letting out a strange sigh, one long and one short.
It was as if they were weeping and complaining, like a group of ghosts letting out low voices.
