Only legendary deities were omnipotent. Han Zhengfang was not a deity. Therefore, of course, he would make a mistake. He would judge that "Cui LI" didn't grasp Purgatory Samsara Method based on his knowledge and experience. If "Cui LI" grasped this secret method, Han Zhengfang believed that Cui LI could not pass the test of Guan Qianchong. Guan Qianchong was not a simple figure. Guan Qianchong might have already known the secret that Cui LI could promote to a higher level rapidly in the hieron. If not, how could Guan Qianchong and Dugu Yi allow a person who was related to alchemist demon to return to the earth's surface after being conferred as a knight? The fact that Guan Clan dispatched someone to contact Cui LI indicated that Guan Qianchong trusted Cui LI.
However, given the intelligence, Han Zhengfang knew that Cui LI was not a simple figure. He was very tricky to deal with. However, Han Zhengfang had seen too many earth knights like Cui LI. Based on his current power and status and his available forces, he believed that as long as he kept a close eye on Cui LI, he would get all the secrets and secret items of this earth knight sooner or later. Every knight would be interested in secret methods or secret items that could help them form their chakras rapidly.
The father and the son of Han Clan didn't know that Cui LI was Zhang Tie; neither did they know that Zhang Tie had already figured out the secret of Han Clan. Zhang Tie came to Xuanyuan Hill this time to uproot Han Clan. If they knew that, the two people might not be so calm at this moment.
Humans were calculating tigers; tigers were calculating humans too.
"As for Arlkey Empire, we have to handle it properly. Don't be impulsive. Cui LI and Bai Suxian could be put aside. Everything has two sides. Lord Guangnan's Mansion could also help us in this event. With the stress from Lord Guangnan's Mansion, it would be much easier for us to take over Arlkey Empire!" Han Zhengfang added.
"I know what to do..." Han Yuanhong nodded. As long as Arlkey Empire felt that Lord Guangnan could exterminate the royal household of Arlkey Empire in the blink of an eye without Han Clan, Arlkey Empire would be at their mercy.
It might be exciting for others to control an empire on a subcontinent; however, for Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong, neither Han Zhengfang nor Han Yuanhong could find any sense of achievement or excitement from such a "trivial matter". As for Taixia Country, Arlkey Empire was like a shrimp beside a huge whale. Even if they ate it, they would not be satisfied. Additionally, they always fixated on something more valuable, which was in Taixia Country.
Seeing Han Zhengfang pick up his teacup again, Han Yuanhong finally remembered the important thing he wanted to tell Han Zhengfang today.
"Father, Yuantu has not come back yet. I've contacted him using remote-sensing crystal but got no reply..."
"Yuantu has not come back yet?" Han Zhengfang's relaxed look faintly froze. Closely after that, Han Zhengfang injected his spiritual energy into a remote-sensing crystal finger ring and attempted to contact his other son. As expected, he didn't receive any response. "Hasn't Yuantu gone to Pingsha Valley?"
"Yes, my people in Zhongzhou Province also saw Yuantu's airboat passing by Longxi Prefecture. However, not knowing why, Yuantu should have arrived at Xuanyuan Hill in a couple of days according to the plan!"
"Where's Yuantu's airboat?"
"According to the intelligence, after Yuantu's airboat stopped in Longxi Prefecture for a short while, someone saw his airboat turning around and leaving Zhongzhou Province; however, it didn't come to Xuanyuan Hill!" After saying that, Han Yuanhong threw a glance at Han Zhengfang with a faint bitter smile, "Yuantu is very strict with his subordinates. Besides him, nobody on his side is allowed to carry remote-sensing crystal which could be used to contact others. Wen Haoyun and Xiao Longfei are on Yuantu's side. If they carried remote-sensing crystal, we could ask them; however, they didn't. Additionally, they couldn't contact Yuantu. Therefore, I don't know where Yuantu is until now!"
Han Zhengfang frowned slightly. His eldest son's last sentence was not so much to say that he was worried about Han Yuantu, but rather to say that he was blaming Han Yuantu. Although these two brothers often helped him do some things openly and secretly, they were actually competing with each other secretly. The reason for the competition was very simple. If he succeeded, then the most outstanding one of his two sons would sit on the throne left by him in the future. In this case, the so-called brotherly love would often be replaced by cold practical interests.
This was also the result that Han Zhengfang had deliberately created. His two sons had displayed extremely high talent and aptitude from a young age. Both of them were not bad in terms of intelligence, wisdom, and vision. He also wanted to use this method to let his two sons catch up with each other and promote each other. His foundation, of course, would be left to the most outstanding person in the future. However, compared to Han Yuanhong, Han Yuantu was a bit more perverse. A few years ago, Han Yuanhong arranged a subordinate on Han Yuantu's side. That person carried a remote-sensing crystal and informed Han Yuantu's news and movements to Han Yuanhong from time to time. Later on, Han Yuantu discovered this. After arguing with Han Zhengfang for a while, Han Zhengfang criticized Han Yuanhong for a short while and asked Han Yuanhong to apologize to Han Yuantu. Therefore, this dispute was left unsettled. From then on, besides the remote-sensing crystal that Han Yuantu had given to his subordinates, Han Yuantu didn't allow his knights and subordinates to carry any other remote-sensing crystal device, even if that person was working for him. As long as he was discovered, he would be severely punished.
Of course, Han Yuanhong wanted to explain what he did at that time. Actually, he implied that his brother was narrow-minded and ignored the overall situation.
Of course, Han Zhengfang had reasons to worry about his son's disappearance at this critical moment. After being silent for 2 seconds, Han Zhengfang slightly narrowed his eyes, "Are there any abnormal movements in the top 4 armies in the 9 immortal provinces these days?"
"All the corps of the top 4 armies in the 9 immortal provinces are being watched by our people. These days, besides strictly guarding their encampments according to the order, all the other corps of the top 4 armies have received the order to coordinate with the local authorities to exterminate the catastrophe of bloody figures and control the local situation after the catastrophe in Zhongzhou Province. These orders have been executed normally. There's nothing abnormal in the movements of the top 4 armies in the 9 immortal provinces!"
"Where are the top 3 chancellors?"
"The top 3 chancellors are patrolling across the country. Today, the commander-in-chief has arrived at Huizhou Province; the prime minister has arrived at Yizhou Province; the minister of public affairs has arrived at Gobbling Province..."
After hearing that there was nothing abnormal in the movements of the top 4 armies in the 9 immortal provinces and the top 3 chancellors who were patrolling across the country didn't return to Xuanyuan Hill, Han Zhengfang let out a sigh at once. At least, it indicated that the event was not developing towards the worst direction.
"Is there any woman on Yuantu's side these days?"
As the saying went, no one knew his son better than his father. Han Zhengfang immediately asked a key question.
"It's said that she's a princess from a subcontinent!"
'No wonder? ' Han Zhengfang knew about some of his son's "eccentricities" and "hobbies". Under the influence of these "eccentricities" and "hobbies", Han Yuantu couldn't contact Han Zhengfang for half a year. Finally, Han Zhengfang was a bit worried and sent someone to look for Han Yuantu. What he got in return was that Han Yuantu had been indulging in debauchery and debauchery with hundreds of beauties for half a year … There was another time when Han Yuantu didn't contact Han Yuantu because Han Yuantu had just obtained a new "collection". Han Yuantu locked himself in a small room and spent a month carving and painting on that "collection" …
Han Yuantu had made such a "precedent" for many times. Therefore, after hearing that his son couldn't be contacted, Han Zhengfang didn't feel that intense anymore.
"After a few days, if we still couldn't contact Yuantu, we will dispatch people to look for him. These days, let the people of Gold and Power Law pay attention to the trace of Yuantu's airboat!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Additionally, keep a close eye on Huaiyuan Palace in Youzhou Province. If Zhang Tie returns to Huaiyuan Palace, I want to know it first!"
"Do we..."
"I've not imagined that the brat has some abilities. He has caused a lot of troubles in Fuhai City and enhanced his reputation. The event in Zhongzhou Province has not been solved yet. If Zhang Tie returns to Huaiyuan Palace, we don't need to kill him anymore. It's not good for him to die in Taixia Country. I've already dug a grave for him in Waii Subcontinent. I don't believe that the Sacred Light Empire on the Western Continent could not deal with a small black iron knight. If he doesn't go to Waii Subcontinent to seek his death, when the army of Sacred Light Empire exterminates those ignorant barbarians in Ice and Snow Wilderness and burns all of his women and kids onto the stake, I will expose his other identity from the mouth of Sacred Light Empire. By then, I will see how he would treat his lover. When he dies, nobody would sympathize with him anymore.
"Yes, sir!"
Han Yuanhong was sincerely convinced by his father's scheming. As long as Zhang Tie dared come back, he would die no matter whether Zhang Tie returned to Ice and Snow Wilderness or not. One of the two paths could allow him to die as fast as possible; the other path could allow him to live a few more days; however, he couldn't even keep his reputation after his death.
The talk between the father and the son in the study of the finance minister's mansion basically came to an end. Later on, before the gold-treasuring incense in the study burned out, Han Yuanhong had already bade farewell to his father and left this study.
From the beginning to the end, the father and the son in the study thought that Cui LI and Zhang Tie were two people. They could never imagine that they were talking about the same person in the study just now...
Nobody could be omniscient and omnipotent, not even Emperor Xuanyuan, not to mention the others...
When Han Yuanhong left the finance minister's mansion in a vehicle, he still remained expressionless; however, he was sneering inside, 'Younger brother, you behave weirdly purposefully and have some strange hobbies just to make me lower my vigilance towards you. Taixia Country is large enough. As long as my father succeeds in his great undertaking, as long as you make a concession on your own initiative after this holy war, I will not do anything to you... but don't you feel bored of such tricks?'
As Han Yuanhong cursed inside, another face appeared in his mind. Although this face was still alive, in Han Yuanhong's eyes, this person was nothing different than a dead person. Nobody who offended Han Clan or him would have a good end. When he recalled that this person was so audacious and almost embarrassed him in the Qian Gate, Han Yuanhong gritted his teeth, 'I will let you be arrogant for a few days. Just wait and see, I will deal with you one day. How dare an earth knight be so arrogant in front of me?'
"Go to the airship base!" Han Yuanhong told the driver. Closely after his words, the car which had just left the Finance Minister's Mansion and was driving on the main road of the emperor's imperial city sped up at once …
If Cui LI was destined to die in the future in Han Yuanhong's eyes, those people of Arlkey Empire were already dead in Han Yuanhong's eyes. However, these dead people were still a bit useful before death. Therefore, Han Yuanhong had to deal with them himself.
In the Minister of Finance's Residence, Han Zhengfang stood by the lotus pond outside the study. He raised his head and looked at the two bright moons in the sky. For some reason, he felt a sense of irritation in his heart …
