Night fell just like that.
The entire city of Chang 'an had fallen into darkness. The lanterns were like glowing gems that filled the night sky. They were hidden in a thin layer of fog and flickered.
In Chang 'an City, squads of City Defense Army were shuttling back and forth in every corner of Chang' an City. Apart from that, the whole Chang 'an City was eerily quiet. Not even a dog barking could be heard in Chang' an City tonight.
The extreme silence only lasted for a short while. After the people from the City Defense Team left, Chang 'an City slowly became lively. People in all kinds of clothes shuttled back and forth in the shadows before entering the buildings one by one.
It seemed that there was something waiting for them.
In the west of Chang 'an City, there was an ordinary house near the Residence of the Sixteenth Prince. At this time, it was already brightly lit. But strangely, all the places where light could pass through were covered with quilts.
If a dark shadow hadn't knocked open a window by chance, no one outside would have noticed the abnormality.
Inside the room, there were already dozens of people wearing clothes of various colors. Their faces were covered and they were whispering to each other. When the black figure arrived, everyone in the room instantly fell silent.
The man took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a head of gray hair. His face was covered with a black mask, just like everyone else.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly got up and bowed.
The man waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. He looked around with his hawk-like triangular eyes and said, "Everyone, my master said that after today, the meeting with so many people will be canceled."
When he finished speaking, everyone exclaimed in an instant.
Then they asked in a low voice.
The man waved his hand and said helplessly, "This is a choice that must be made for the sake of the great cause. Today, on the mountain and in Chang 'an City, you all know about it, right?"
"I don't want to talk too much about this matter. Zhang Feng has already noticed us. The reason why he took out this phosphate fertilizer today and didn't hesitate to pull out all the wheat seedlings in the field is undoubtedly to lure us out of the snake's hole!"
"What!"
"He is just a young boy who is still wet behind the ears. How can he think so much?"
"Since he wants to lure us out, isn't it better to give him a thunderous blow? Why should we be so afraid? He's just a nameless brat with no background. Could it be that Master is so afraid of him? "
"Yes, master. Today, many people in Chang 'an City are also in an uproar because of the land purchase. During the morning assembly tomorrow, someone will definitely mention it. As long as we do a little work, we will definitely frame Zhang Feng with the crime of disrupting the order of the court and deliberately instigating people to rob the land purchase!"
"As long as we are convicted of the crime, we can easily get the phosphate fertilizer and Zhang's secret.
The old man pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
The crowd was in an uproar. "Why?"
The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at the empty wall in the room. "Our master said that this matter is actually a big net woven by Zhang Feng and the emperor. And the so-called Lao Li, who is rumored in the market, is actually the emperor's man!"
Buzz —!
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The emperor's man?
What did this mean?
Could it be that the emperor knew all this from the beginning and acquiesced to Zhang Feng's nonsense on the mountain?
This didn't make sense.
If so, didn't it mean that their plan had been exposed from the beginning?
Now, our master asked us to stop the discussion and chose to remain silent. Was it because he was afraid of being exposed? But what kind of person was Master? He was someone who could reach the heavens.
If we knew this person, if we could get rid of him, it would be like breaking one of the emperor's arms. Wouldn't it be easier for our master's plan to succeed?
Why did he choose to remain silent?
Facing the doubts of the crowd.
The old man shook his head and said, "Don't argue about this matter!"
"Our master said that although we did a good job in the beginning, we did it too hastily. That guy found out something. Last time, that guy went to the mountain to meet Zhang Feng, and then the phosphate fertilizer was exposed to the world. That is to say, that guy has found out about our existence, or maybe he has been vigilant. The reason why he did this was to lure us out!"
"Could it be that you didn't notice anything from the Tang Family?"
"Why did Zhang Feng go crazy and kill people in Chang 'an City? Didn't you find anything? "
"Why did he send a student to the funeral in a high-profile way and then kill the four old forces? Didn't you think about why?"
"Hiss —!"
The crowd couldn't help but gasp.
In an instant, they figured out all the things that they couldn't figure out before.
This guy had thought about all this a long time ago!
Right at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps resounded from the streets once more. In an instant, everyone fell completely silent. Only after the sound of the patrolling soldiers' footsteps had left did the old man say, "In short, from now onward, all of you must settle down. You must not allow Zhang Feng and His Majesty to get hold of any information that can be used against you!"
"…"
