After all the invited guests had their identities verified and accommodations arranged, these people wanted to take this opportunity to tour the Cheng Residence. Therefore, almost no one was willing to stay in the accommodations arranged by the reception envoy.
However, just when everyone was touring around the Cheng Family, Han Yaowu once again appeared in front of Cheng Yu.
"Have you confirmed the number?" Cheng Yu looked at Han Yaowu and asked.
"Patriarch, the inspection of all the people on the 36 peaks has been completed. He found a total of 32 tokens that could not be activated!
We've already sent people to keep an eye on those with questionable tokens, "Han Yaowu reported truthfully.
"There are actually 32 of them? It seems like they really spent a lot of effort this time Cheng Yu said in surprise.
Although he knew that there would be more than three people trying to infiltrate the Cheng family, he didn't expect that there would be 32 of them this time.
Although there were only 32 people among the 10,000 people, it didn't seem to be a lot. However, for a secret operation, not only did it mean that they killed 32 people, but they also disguised themselves as those people. Such an operation was not a small one.
"Patriarch, these 32 people have appeared on a total of 18 peaks. Keeping an eye on them like this will make them very scattered. Should we gather them on one peak? That way, it will be easier for us to keep an eye on them.
Moreover, these people must have already planned the mission in advance. Presumably, they would gather together to carry out the mission.
This will save them the time to think of ways to meet up, and they might expose their purpose faster, "Han Yaowu suggested.
"This is definitely not possible. If we were to gather them together, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling them that we have already discovered them?" Cheng Yu shook his head and rejected.
"Patriarch, you may have misunderstood me. I did not arrange for them to be together. Currently, each peak had about three hundred guests, and these people were arranged to stay in more than ten guest courtyards.
With so many small courtyards, we don't need to arrange them in one courtyard. As long as we arrange them in another courtyard on the same peak, it will be easier for them to meet each other than on the eighteen peaks.
Furthermore, the security between the peaks is rather tight. If they can't gather together, they might not find a suitable opportunity to carry out the mission even after the tournament ends! "Han Yaowu explained.
He wasn't stupid. He couldn't possibly pick out all of these people and put them in one courtyard. That would really expose him.
The Cheng Clan had 36 peaks, each of which was incomparably huge. Furthermore, the 36 peaks referred to the main peak. Around the main peak, there were many secondary peaks.
Back then, when the Cheng Family was still not that famous, the 36 peaks had also entered a period of chaos, and there were many sects living on each of the peaks.
Even though Cheng Yu had boldly and decisively taken back his authority, he still arranged for the two sects to be on the same peak.
Therefore, this main peak, together with the surrounding sub-peaks, was quite huge. Otherwise, with so many disciples of the Cheng Clan, the 36 peaks would have long been filled to the brim. How could the Cheng Clan accommodate so many lower sects and 10,000 spectators?
Furthermore, there were many guest courtyards built on each of the 36 peaks of the Cheng Clan. They were specially used to receive guests when they held major events.
The courtyards prepared for the guests were of different sizes, ranging from a few people to dozens of people. It all depended on the guest's situation and needs.
This time, the 300 or so people were basically arranged to stay in a courtyard that could accommodate 20 to 30 people at a time. This way, there were more than 10 large courtyards.
If the 32 people were scattered into these 10 large courtyards, these people might not be able to detect anything.
You have to understand, if you want to adjust these people to a peak, then you have to adjust the other 9,000 people as well.
Otherwise, why would you adjust these 30 people? Even if you didn't arrange them together, wouldn't they have also discovered the problem?
Otherwise, what reason do you have to adjust it for them and not the others? Cheng Yu asked in reply.
This … Han Yaowu was stunned. This seemed to be his negligence.
Although we had guessed that someone might come to the Cheng Clan to cause trouble, we didn't expect that they would actually use such a method.
I believe that all of their actions today were already planned by them. They must have also investigated the 10,000 spectators we invited.
Therefore, the people they chose also had a plan in mind.
Although they didn't know that we would be ranked according to how much contribution we made, they didn't choose the people who were ranked together as their targets from the beginning.
Therefore, they deliberately wanted to mess up the order. Moreover, we just happened to divide the entrance to the mountain into 36, so maybe this is exactly what they want.
If you deliberately arrange all of them to a peak, it might seem to make it convenient for them to move, but in reality, it might disrupt their plans. Cheng Yu explained.
Patriarch, you mean to say that they don't plan to act together? Instead, they plan to act separately? Han Yaowu said.
We don't know what their goal is in coming to the Cheng Clan. Therefore, we are not sure if they want to act separately.
But if they do plan to act separately, at least our human intervention will expose us Cheng Yu said.
Patriarch's words make sense. This subordinate was too impatient and didn't consider it thoroughly Han Yaowu said in shame.
He knew that his proposal was effective and had really attracted so many hidden enemies. Therefore, he hoped that these people would act as soon as possible and capture them.
However, he only thought about giving these people convenience and letting them reveal their true colors earlier. However, he had forgotten that the reason why these people appeared in the Cheng Clan was because they had done it on purpose.
Perhaps they are also afraid that if everyone goes up the mountain together, it will be easier for us to discover them. If that's the case, if they are discovered, they will be directly wiped out.
They naturally understand the principle of not putting all their eggs in one basket, so since they have the intention, then let's go with it. Cheng Yu said.
Patriarch is still the most thoughtful one Han Yaowu nodded.
Therefore, what you need to do now is to keep an eye on them. We already know of their existence. If we still let them slip through our net, that would be too bad Cheng Yu reminded.
Cheng Yu really liked this kind of cat and mouse game. Those people thought that they had entered the Cheng Clan without anyone noticing.
Therefore, right now, these people were probably feeling happy that they had successfully broken into the Cheng Clan.
And Cheng Yu liked this feeling. He liked to see them feel complacent about their success, but in reality, they were already under his control.
Patriarch, please rest assured. I have already explained the situation to the elders and peak masters of the various peaks. They have all sent experts to keep an eye on them. There will definitely be no problems.
As long as the patriarch gives the order, we can bring these people to the patriarch in the shortest time possible Han Yaowu said confidently.
Well, as long as you have this confidence. Since these people have come to the Cheng Clan, even if they want to leave, it won't be that easy.
However, you must not reveal yourself. I want to see what exactly these fellows want to do in my Cheng Clan Cheng Yu nodded. He was still at ease with Han Yaowu's matters.
After all, after following him for so many years, he knew what was insignificant and what couldn't even be the slightest problem.
"Patriarch, I understand!"
You can leave first. Tomorrow is the day of the competition. The matters of the competition will be handled by the Great Elder and the others. Your task is to keep an eye on those people. If there is any news, just report to me directly. Cheng Yu instructed again.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first!" Han Yaowu left after he finished speaking.
Could it be that they also want to learn from me and cause trouble in the Cheng Clan? When Cheng Yu was the only one left in the room, Cheng Yu suddenly remembered that the current situation seemed to be somewhat familiar.
Just like when he broke into the inner court, he forcefully broke into the back mountain alone and fought with the old man.
However, he wasn't as mysterious as the Dynasty Lord, so there was no need for them to secretly search for him.
Moreover, tomorrow was the day of the competition. As the Cheng Clan Patriarch, he would take the initiative to appear.
He didn't know what these fellows' intentions were in the Cheng Clan.
He also didn't dare to confirm if these people really came from the inner court or some other outer court.
Now that the Cheng Clan's strength has grown too fast, I don't know if it's because the Cheng Clan's strength has really affected the dynasty's rule or because they have already investigated that I am the one who broke into the inner court?
Regarding this question, Cheng Yu had always been uncertain.
After all, he had no way to obtain information from the inner court. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be so conflicted and would be able to easily know the true intentions of the inner court.
Because of different reasons, the reaction he had to do would definitely be different.
If the inner court only thought that the Cheng Clan's growth was too fast and posed a threat to their rule, then they could still continue to deal with the Dynasty and slowly negotiate this issue to stall for time.
But if the Dynasty Lord already knew that he was the descendant of the Holy City, then when the Dynasty's army had gathered, it would probably be time for the Cheng Clan to fight to the death with the Dynasty.
