Tang Zheng did not want to be involved in the power struggle of the upper echelons. He was not interested in the big backer behind Ji Wuxiang and calmly said: "Chief Ji is a smart person. Naturally, he will have his own way to deal with the crisis in front of him."
Ji Wuxiang smiled embarrassedly: "Intelligence alone cannot solve everything. People must have strong strength. Otherwise, it can only be regarded as petty tricks. Young Master Tang is not only smart, but also has strong strength. This is the true invincible position. "
Yan Liuyun thought about it and looked at Ji Wuxiang and thought: "Listening to his tone, could it be that he wants to rely on Tang Zheng?"
This was very different from the Ji Wuxiang in his impression. He had always thought that Ji Wuxiang was omnipotent, but now it seemed that he was only so-so. His previous reliance came from the backer behind him.
Yan Liuyun could not help but look at Tang Zheng again. His heart was filled with emotion. No matter how strong a person was, when facing him, it seemed that they would be dwarfed.
"Young Master Tang, there is something that I don't know if I should say." Ji Wuxiang said hesitantly.
"What is it?"
"My backer doesn't get along well with the chief you're in contact with. They've been fighting both openly and covertly. This time, he's bound to lose, and that chief's power and status will be greatly improved. As far as I know, you don't seem to have a good relationship with that chief. This is not a good thing for you," Ji Wuxiang said meaningfully.
Tang Zheng's eyes trembled as he said: "Thank you for the reminder."
He and the chief were not on good terms. Especially on the matter of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon. It could be said that he had completely gone against the chief's wishes. He had chosen to endure, but his heart was definitely filled with anger.
As long as he was given the opportunity, he would definitely explode.
Tang Zheng was very clear on this point, so Ji Wuxiang's reminder made Tang Zheng pay attention to it. He had to guard against the possible crisis.
"Chief Ji, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave."
"Thank you for your help. Forgive me for not seeing you off."
Tang Zheng glanced at the numerous Go players and left the Go club under Yan Liuyun's suspicious gaze. After walking across a street, Yan Liuyun finally could not help but ask, "Young Master Tang, Ji Wuxiang obviously wants to rely on you. Why don't you accept his offer?"
Tang Zheng shook his head. "We don't know how trustworthy Ji Wuxiang's words are. Besides, he's not at the end of his rope yet. There's no need for us to intervene so early."
"Then aren't you worried that the Heaven's Chess piece in his hands will fall into the hands of others?"
Tang Zheng smiled and said: "Even though he brags to the heavens, but in the end, what you hear is false and what you see is true. Your people continue to keep an eye on him and see what other tricks he has up his sleeve."
Yan Liuyun nodded and said regretfully, "It's a pity that Granny Li escaped this time. She's also a big scourge."
"Compared to the High Lord, she's just a small character. The most important thing now is to find the High Lord. He hasn't shown himself yet, so I suspect that he's brewing some big scheme. This is the calm before the storm." Tang Zheng said earnestly.
Yan Liuyun's face darkened as he nodded heavily. "That's reasonable."
"What about the Hundred Faces Star Sovereign? Is there any movement from him?" Tang Zheng asked.
"We suspect that he's returned to the Island nation, but he hasn't shown himself since. In a foreign country, it's not as easy for our people to investigate." Yan Liuyun said somewhat helplessly.
Tang Zheng nodded and said, "With the Hundred Faces Star Sovereign's personality, he definitely won't keep hiding. He's definitely plotting something. It doesn't matter if he doesn't show himself now. As long as we keep an eye on him, we'll find some clues."
Yan Liuyun explained, and then the two of them parted ways.
At the same time, Granny Li arrived at a quiet place after escaping. She respectfully knocked on the door, and the door opened. She restrained her angry expression and calmed down a little. Then, she walked in with heavy steps.
A moment later, she came in front of a person and bowed respectfully. "High Lord, I've failed. Not only did I fail to take Ji Wuxiang for my own use, but I also attracted Tang Zheng. If I hadn't escaped fast enough, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back to see the High Lord."
The High Lord's eyes flickered under the mask, making people shudder. He stared at Granny Li for a long time.
Granny Li didn't dare to meet his eyes and lowered her head. "It's all this subordinate's fault. Please punish me, High Lord."
The High Lord looked at her with burning eyes and finally opened his mouth. "This is an uncontrollable factor. Tang Zheng is my biggest enemy. The capital city is his base camp and he has many eyes and ears. It's not surprising that he ruined our plan."
"Not only did he ruin our plan, but he also made me lose a lot of disciples. He's really hateful." Granny Li's eyes were almost spitting fire as she said hatefully.
The High Lord was surprised. "You lost all your disciples?"
"Yes, I couldn't protect them. I'm really ashamed." Granny Li said dejectedly.
"Raise your head, this is not your fault. You just have to put it on Tang Zheng's head." The High Lord said in a powerful voice.
Granny Li restrained her emotions and asked, "High Lord, Ji Wuxiang's plan is ruined. What should we do next?"
"Humph, ruined? Who said so? He's already cornered. If he still dares to persist, I'll make him wish he was dead. "The High Lord's voice was gloomy to the extreme, making people shudder.
Granny Li nodded in agreement. "The High Lord is wise."
"You should conserve your energy first. You'll be busy later. Don't go to Ji Wuxiang's side. They've already set up an ambush, so your whereabouts must have been exposed. That's why you were surrounded and intercepted by Tang Zheng."
Granny Li's face reddened. "I did notice people following me a few times, but I thought they were Ji Wuxiang's men. In the end, I successfully shook them off, so I didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect Tang Zheng's men to be among them. Why would he send people to watch the Go club? Could it be that he also knew about the Celestial Chess? "
"That's not it! Tang Zheng has always been on guard against Ji Wuxiang. With Tang Zheng's cautious style, it's impossible for him not to be on guard against such a mysterious existence. It's just that the time you went was too coincidental and you were discovered by Tang Zheng's men. " With just a few words, the High Lord had actually guessed the whole story. It had to be said that enemies often understood each other better.
"High Lord, after Song Yu left with the remnants of the Sword Pavilion, he still hasn't contacted you?" Granny Li asked on a sudden whim.
Now that the Azure Dragon Hall's manpower was sharply reduced, Granny Li would pay attention to people like Song Yu. If it were before, Song Yu wouldn't even enter his eyes.
The High Lord laughed. His laughter penetrated through the mask and was somewhat strange. "Song Yu is truly worthy of being the young master of the Song family. Not only is he meticulous, but he's also extremely cunning and ambitious. I've really underestimated him before."
"If he dares to play tricks in front of the High Lord, I'll directly take his little life." Granny Li said fiercely.
The High Lord pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "You don't need to worry about Song Yu. He can't escape from my grasp. I'm just waiting to see what kind of tricks he can play in the end and whether he can give me a little surprise."
Hearing him say this, Granny Li didn't dare to say anything else and respectfully retreated.
In the courtyard house, the Bureau Chief was sitting at his desk going through documents. During this period, he was in high spirits. The matter of the Imperial City and the Five-clawed Golden Dragon had originally left him in a terrible fix and even became a stain on his opponent's attack.
However, nothing was absolute. In the end, under the guidance of the High Lord, he actually turned defeat into victory and defeated his opponent.
Although his opponent hadn't fallen yet, he was already at death's door. He believed that as long as he released his trump card, his opponent would definitely not have a chance to breathe and fall off the altar, becoming a sacrificial lamb.
Winner takes all, it had always been like this.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hum an old song. This was his favorite song when he was young. When he went to the countryside to cut the queue, he liked this song.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past and a person appeared in front of him.
The Bureau Chief wasn't surprised. He had long been used to the other party's mysterious appearance. He put down the pen in his hand and raised his head. Sure enough, he saw the familiar mask of the High Lord.
He was very wary of the High Lord in the beginning and used each other. However, now that the Azure Dragon Palace had suffered a great loss in the hands of Tang Zheng, the Bureau Chief was surprised but also had an unexpected surprise.
That was, the High Lord, who was at his wit's end, actually helped him greatly. This action against his opponent was a gift that made the Bureau Chief very satisfied.
He often thought proudly in his heart, no matter how powerful the High Lord was, he still had the last laugh. These martial artists looked glamorous, but after all, they were rootless duckweeds. They didn't have the support of the country and didn't have the support of the people. They looked glamorous, but in reality, they could easily be defeated.
Wasn't this the best proof?
Although he would fail, he had the foundation and the support of the people, so he could still make a comeback.
Therefore, he was the one who had the last laugh.
When he looked at the High Lord, he wasn't as nervous and cautious as before. He casually pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Have a seat. We can carry out the plan to deal with that old thing now. Let's move quickly."
The High Lord nodded in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Heh, that old thing probably wouldn't even dream that I know so many dirty things about him. Ji Wuxiang, that white glove, has done so many dirty things for him. It seems like there's no evidence against him, but in fact, there are many things that can be used against him. This is his death warrant. Once the time is up, his old life will be taken away." The Bureau Chief said proudly.
After a pause, the Bureau Chief continued, "Ji Wuxiang can't be allowed to continue living in this world. He knows too many things. You know what to do, right?"
The High Lord nodded lightly.
The Bureau Chief relaxed and said, "Ji Wuxiang is actually a talent. It's just that he stood on the wrong side and chose the wrong master. Naturally, what awaits him won't be a good ending. Your Azure Dragon Palace is really good at gathering information. You even know the dirty things that they do in private. "
The High Lord remained calm and said, "The opponent has been eliminated. What are your plans next?"
