"Supervisor Wei!"
The guards of the city lord's mansion didn't have any official positions, but they were still addressed as lords. As for Wei Chao and Wei Yang, who were the most trusted and valued by the city lord, they were addressed as supervisors. When the guards outside the mansion saw Wei Yang, they immediately stood at attention and greeted him. Then, Wei Yang passed through the door like the wind and went straight to the meeting hall.
Wei Chao was sitting high up in the hall, discussing matters with a few officials who came to the mansion. Wei Yang rushed into the hall and said without looking at them, "Get out."
No matter which one of these people was an official, they all had some power. After being coldly spat out by Wei Yang, they didn't even say a word and stood up together to leave the meeting hall.
"Would it kill you to have a better attitude?" Even Wei Chao was dissatisfied with Wei Yang and said unhappily.
Wei Yang didn't seem to want to discuss this problem. He took a few steps and arrived in front of Wei Chao, "We overlooked someone."
"Who?"
"That day, there were two unfamiliar faces that barged into the mansion with Lu Ping," Wei Yang said.
"It's not like, it's true. I've already sent people to investigate. One of them is called Fang Yizhu, a former student of Zhenfeng College. He later entered North Style Academy to study...... "
"Yes, that's him." Wei Yang immediately interrupted Wei Chao. "He has already studied in the North Style Academy for more than ten years!" Wei Sheng said. He emphasized the words "North Style" and "ten years".
"You mean......" Wei Chao immediately thought of the possibility that Wei Yang and Ba Liyan had guessed at the same time. This deduction was too consistent with normal circumstances. As for the information that Ba Liyan brought back, Wei Yang didn't care for even a second.
"If that's really the case, then this order from the central command is worth pondering," Wei Chao said.
"Yes," Wei Yang nodded. He had realized this point and rushed back to the mansion to discuss it with Wei Chao.
Acting at his own discretion meant that he didn't need to ask for instructions and could make his own decisions. But if the central command of the Dark Army was really going to let these people go, why would they give such a vague order? Just from this reservation, Wei Chao and Wei Yang suspected that the central command still had some inclination. If the inclination was unclear, it meant that there was something difficult to say. And now, after setting their sights on the North Style Academy, Wei Chao and Wei Yang felt that they had found the unspeakable secret of the empire.
"The empire and the North Style Academy have reached some kind of agreement. Therefore, it is not convenient to target Lu Ping and Zhenfeng College." Wei Chao said, "But he gave such a vague instruction. Does this mean that they still hope that someone can kill Lu Ping and his gang?"
"I think so," Wei Yang said heavily.
"This is not a good job." Wei Chao said very cautiously, "Since the Imperium has not made a clear statement, it's very likely that the person who did this will be handed over to the Big Dipper. In that case, we'll have to suffer in silence."
"But what if he doesn't?" Wei Yang's eyes flashed. "Understanding the intentions of the higher-ups and doing the dirty work is a great merit. You should know that now that the city lord is not here, the credit should fall to you and me. "
"You brat …" Wei Chao was taken aback. Wei Tianqi's absence was a secret that only the two of them knew. But now, Wei Yang actually wanted to surpass Wei Tianqi to claim this great merit. This meant that when the time came, he would expose the fact that Wei Tianqi was not here. This guy actually wanted to betray the young city lord in order to obtain this promotion opportunity.
"This is a once in a blue moon opportunity." Wei Yang stared at Wei Chao with bright eyes. "I don't think I need to point out our identities again. The young city lord did not give us any instructions when he left. We don't know what he is going to do, and we don't know if he will return. If anything happens to him outside, who do we think we are in the Canyon Peak District? Why don't we seize this opportunity? Maybe it will be the day we make a name for ourselves. "
Wei Chao frowned. He was very conflicted in his heart. The loyalty that the city lord had cultivated in him made him feel very uneasy about betraying Wei Tianqi. However, what Wei Yang said was something he had experienced firsthand. The two of them were just family guards, servants who were noble because of their master. Without the Wei Family of the Canyon Peak, the two of them would never have the opportunity to be arrogant in front of so many high-ranking officials of the Xuan Army Empire. He was unwilling to give up such an identity, but it was not up to him to decide. He knew very well what opportunity Wei Yang was referring to. It was an opportunity for the two of them to turn over their own heads. From then on, they would no longer need to rely on anyone and firmly hold the power in their own hands.
Wei Chao was conflicted for a long time. When he finally looked at Wei Yang, he saw that there was no hesitation on Wei Yang's face.
"Have you always been unconvinced by the young city lord?" Wei Chao suddenly asked.
"Yes, unconvinced. Of course I'm unconvinced. He was cleansed by the moonlight and studied at the Southern Sky Academy. Only then did he reach his current realm. What right did he have to sit in such a position and possess such identity and status? It's just because his surname is Wei. If it wasn't for everything that his surname brought him, what would he be now? What do you think he would be? Do you respect him on this point? "Wei Yang asked Wei Chao.
Wei Chao was silent. Wei Yang had once again hit the nail on the head. Wei Tianqi did not have much talent in cultivation, but his temperament had matured a lot after the death of City Lord Wei Zhong. But this slightly more mature temperament was not enough to convince the public. Was the reason why he, Wei Chao, had been loyal to Wei Tianqi? Not really. He was loyal to the Wei Family and the former City Lord Wei Zhong.
"Don't hesitate. Let's do it together!" Wei Yang looked at Wei Chao and grabbed his shoulder. He was not an impulsive and brainless person. Wei Chao only needed to shout for his rebellion against Wei Tianqi in the City Lord's Mansion, and he would be torn to pieces in minutes. He had rushed back to discuss this matter with Wei Chao because, after working together for the past year, he could tell that Wei Chao was outwardly loyal to Wei Tianqi and would follow his every order. But compared to when he was serving under Wei Zhong, he felt a little more uneasy and worried.
Wei Tianqi's talent was not enough to convince the masses, and neither was his strength. Eventually, he entered the South Sky Academy and managed to establish some connections. He also had a huge source of support and resources that even Wei Zhong had never had. But in the hearts of the family guards, this was not as reliable as Wei Zhong's four physical bodies. The City Lord was their biggest support. But when they saw that their biggest support was submissive to others, the disappointment and uneasiness in their hearts would only continue to grow.
Wei Chao had seen this the most, so Wei Yang had long noticed the change in Wei Chao. He was sure that he could convince Wei Chao to work together, so he rushed back to discuss it with him.
As Wei Yang expected, although Wei Chao's eyes were still a little conflicted, they were also filled with desire. He looked at Wei Yang. "Can we do it?"
Wei Yang smiled. "Of course it's impossible with just the two of us, but don't forget that the Wei Family's many years of operation in the Canyon Peak District are now in our hands."
Wei Chao suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. "You are ruthless."
