Under normal circumstances, a mature political circle would rarely resort to assassination. That was because if it was discovered, it would become a political stain on a person's life.
But Wang Shengzhi did not seem to be afraid of carrying such a bad reputation at all as he resorted to the most direct method possible.
Of course, it was also because of the existence of supernatural beings that the assassination had a chance of succeeding. If it were in the past, it would not have been so easy.
After an individual's strength broke through a certain bottleneck, it would be very difficult to guarantee the safety of those in power. This was also the reason why Qing Zhen went straight to the military camp. He was more cautious than the others, and he did not have any bad habits like Kong Erdong.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not particularly concerned about the open and covert attacks between the Kong Clan and the Wang Clan. He asked, "What about the other information?"
"The other piece of information was provided by that middle-aged man from the 7 o 'clock direction." Wang Yun said, "I'm pretty sure he's from the Zhou Clan because I met him during an operation once. He said that many of the Wang Clan's merchants on the Northwest's trade routes are actually veterans of the Wang Clan. You should also know that the Wang Clan has military service. When necessary, all of their citizens can be soldiers. Therefore, he felt that the Wang Clan might also have malicious intentions toward the Northwest."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. He was still wondering why a group of people who worked hard for the consortiums would betray their own organization and give information to Wang Yun just for 500,000 yuan. No matter how he thought about it, it did not seem likely.
But now he realized that this group of people had only given him information about other organizations. Their main goal was to get their hands on the black medicine and at the same time, disgust other organizations.
For example, this middle-aged man from the Zhou Clan was clearly trying to sow discord between the Wang Clan and Fortress 178.
In any case, he did not have any good intentions.
At this moment, Wang Yun continued, "There's another piece of information regarding the Qinghe Group. It was given to me by the young man on the left. He said that Xu Ke will likely leave office within a year and that the rising star of the Xu Clan, Xu Zhi, will take over all of the Qinghe Group's work. He said this matter might be directly related to the battle at Luoyang City."
Ren Xiaosu nodded nonchalantly. Although he had a good relationship with the Knight, he did not care about their change in power.
The remaining two pieces of information were about the mobilization of the Zhou Clan and the Wang Clan's troops. But Ren Xiaosu was even less concerned about that.
After Wang Yun finished reporting the information, he suddenly looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Ren Xiaosu, I know your name?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Ren Xiaosu".
"Ren Xiaosu?" Wang Yun was puzzled. He felt this name was a little strange.
To be honest, Wang Yun could not react for a moment. He was still wondering what the surname "Ren Xiaosu" was. He had never heard of such a surname before. He asked in a serious tone, "That's not your full name, right? What's your full name?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment before saying, "My full name is Thank You Very Much."
Wang Yun was speechless.
It's fine if you don't fucking want to say your name, but who are you trying to take advantage of? What did you do for me to deserve Thank You Very Much?!
Even if you don't want to say your name, can you at least be a little more tactful and give me a name that's a little more presentable?!
That night, everyone climbed onto the branches to sleep. It was a little difficult to fall asleep on such a cold day, and they were worried about the dangers that lurked everywhere.
Only Luo Lan was snoring on a branch. This made the rest of them sleep even worse.
When Ren Xiaosu was keeping watch at night, he was especially on guard against the strange plants attacking them. However, nothing happened the entire night.
The next morning, everyone was enveloped in an unprecedented sense of exhaustion. Their energy would be slowly depleted once they entered the wilderness. Even if they had tents, they would definitely not be able to sleep as soundly as they did at home. Now that they had to sleep in the trees, it was even more torturous.
Cheng Yu looked at everyone's exhausted looks and felt a little worried. In this state, most of them would probably have their combat strength greatly reduced even after they entered the interior of the Sacred Mountains.
On the other side, Zhou Yingxue came out of the tent feeling refreshed. She took the little red flag from Li Shentan's hand and said, "Alright, everyone, don't stray more than ten meters away from me when you wash up. We'll set off in half an hour, so don't dawdle. If you dawdle, we won't wait for you …."
Li Shentan, Vanilla, and the others had also passed through the canyon. After passing through the canyon, they also encountered an encirclement by the Pyro Company. But unlike the other teams, the Pyro Company's encirclement only resulted in the deaths of a few members of the Pyro Company. Meanwhile, Li Shentan's subordinates increased by a few dozen.
Other than that, there were no changes at all.
Vanilla was a little numb to this. Yesterday, Li Shentan had said they would have to adjust their marching plan. They would have to meet up with Cheng Yu's team on the other side first before exploring the core region of the Sacred Mountains.
Li Shentan's reason was very good. There was strength in numbers!
But what Vanilla felt a little helpless about was that if they wanted to meet up with the people on the other side, were they treating the Pyro Company as if they did not exist in the core region of the Sacred Mountains?
This meant they would have to cross over the Pyro Company's territory first and meet up with their teammates before heading back to beat up the Pyro Company again.
Wasn't this plan a little too sloppy? It felt like they were not taking the Pyro Company seriously at all!
At that time, Li Shentan said with a smile, "That's the general direction. If we encounter any difficulties, we can just make some last-minute adjustments. Based on the route, we don't really have to cross over from the research base to the other side. There's still a certain distance to cover."
"Mhm." Vanilla replied expressionlessly, "As long as you're happy."
"Very good." Li Shentan said with a smile, "You've already mastered the basic skills of getting along with me. Keep it up!"
Then, when they set off again, they encountered the same problem, which was the strange underground plants in the forest.
None of them died, but some of the Pyro Company members who came to encircle them died. As such, Vanilla and the others saw the plants devouring the corpses.
Initially, Vanilla thought the plants would be a big problem for them. But in the end, Zhou Yingxue quickly took over Li Shentan's little red flag and became their new tour guide.
In Zhou Yingxue's words, any problems related to plants were not a problem to her.
Therefore, the crisis of crossing through the canyon was easily resolved by Li Shentan.
The crisis of crossing through the forest was also easily resolved by Zhou Yingxue.
At some point, Vanilla even felt sorry for the Pyro Company. They were clearly in such a dangerous environment, yet they just had to encounter Zhou Yingxue and Li Shentan.
Something that gave the other teams a headache was as though it did not exist in front of Li Shentan and Zhou Yingxue.
What made Vanilla feel the most helpless was that the A-rank hitmen in the team seemed to have gotten used to cozying up to someone else.
At the beginning, everyone was very against Li Shentan's arrival. But now that they realized Li Shentan was in the team, their chances of survival were instantly raised to the maximum. When they thought about what the other teams were facing at this moment, they even felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.
While the others slept in the trees at night, they only needed to gather around the campfire and watch Li Shentan perform his magic and shout, "Wow! That's amazing!"
"That man over there." Zhou Yingxue looked at Vanilla. "Why are you daydreaming? Catch up with the team."
Vanilla wanted to cry but no tears came out. He was still considered famous outside and was widely admired by the hitmen.
Why did he become "that man" here? It sounded like he was just a minor character.
