Ouyang Shuo was in a bad mood because of the matter of finding the dragon acupoint.
This was the way of the world.
When the Alliance of Mountains and Seas was first established, they were still small lords with ideals, passion and fighting spirit.
Today, they had already achieved success and recognition.
Greed grew uncontrollably, and infighting and disagreements were inevitable.
The lessons of history were profound. In reality, how many entrepreneurial teams had a good start and a good end? In the end, it was inevitable that they would part ways and even become enemies.
The Alliance of Mountains and Seas seemed to be unable to break away from the shackles of history.
Ouyang Shuo suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked, "How are the other members doing?"
"Lingxi City has completely stabilized its rule over Kunming Prefecture and is strengthening its military preparations. If we don't make any moves here, I'm afraid they will launch an attack on Dongchuan Prefecture in the north alone. " Speaking of this, Black Snake smiled, "Now that the Marquis has returned, there shouldn't be any big problems in Yunnan Province."
"Yes." Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal.
"Fallen Phoenix City has made rapid progress in Taiyuan Province and has already taken over the south-central part of Taiyuan Province. Now more than twenty lords in the northern part of Taiyuan Province have banded together to resist the attack of Fallen Phoenix City. Optimistically, they could only defend what they had. Fallen Phoenix City's position as the overlord of Taiyuan Province is unshakable. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded. Feng Qiuhuang was indeed powerful and did not let him down.
"But there is one thing that I have to report to the Marquis." Black Snake hesitated.
"Speak!"
"According to the Black Snake Guards, the leader of the Northern Lords Alliance of Taiyuan Province is Feng Qiuhuang's elder brother, Feng Tianlie. The Feng Family has built Fengxiang City with the support of the Yan Huang Alliance and has already reached a considerable scale. It is reported that Di Chen has already proposed in the internal meeting of the Yan Huang Alliance to increase the authority of Fengxiang City in the alliance. "
"This is not surprising." Ouyang Shuo's face was calm.
Ouyang Shuo had basically figured out Di Chen's way of playing with power.
Two years ago, Feng Qiuhuang successfully left the Feng Family with Ouyang Shuo's strong support and kept the territory of Luo Feng County. The remaining Feng Family, with the support of the newly established Yan Huang Alliance, re-established a territory in the northern wilderness of Taiyuan Province — Fengxiang Village.
[Yan Huang Alliance]'s consideration at that time was just to set up a chess piece.
Therefore, in the next one or two years, although Fengxiang City was a member of the [Yan Huang Alliance], it had no sense of existence. Even the illusory [Luoye City] was more eye-catching than Fengxiang City.
Today, when Fengxiang City suddenly became the bridgehead for the [Yan Huang Alliance] to attack Fallen Phoenix City, Di Chen and the others took it seriously and hypocritically raised its authority.
These disciples of aristocratic families could be said to be extremely cold.
The Feng Family must have been extremely sullen in the past two years; they were almost forgotten by the entire wilderness. I don't know if the Feng Family has regretted the decision they made two years ago.
"One more thing." Black Snake continued to report, "A month ago, Feng Tianlie had some kind of dogsh * t luck and got in touch with a great noble of the Mongolian tribe in the north, obtaining a batch of elite Mongolian warhorses. In fact, that Mongolian noble even sent people to train cavalry for Fengxiang City. "
"What?" Ouyang Shuo slammed the table and stood up with a shocked expression.
The Stygian Snake was confused and asked carefully, "Marquis?"
Ouyang Shuo's expression was uncertain. After a long time, he sat back down.
The scenes from his previous life replayed in his mind.
"The powerful Mongolian Empire has already begun to move?" Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself.
In this life, only Ouyang Shuo knew how powerful the Mongolian Empire was in the game. This giant had been quietly dormant in the early stages of the game, keeping a very low profile.
The only thing that interacted with the players was the grassland trade, especially the rich Mongolian warhorses, which had always been loved by the players of the surrounding lords.
All along, the Mongolian tribes had been very indifferent. They did not miss a single deal that should be done, but they had never heard of any Mongolian cavalry invading the surrounding territories.
It seemed to be said that this was a very docile nomadic tribe.
Because of this, the lords of the China region were almost on guard against the Mongolian tribes.
Only Ouyang Shuo knew that this terrifying nomadic empire had caused a huge disaster to the entire northern territories in his previous life in the game. It even affected the war between nations.
Black Snake's words made Ouyang Shuo frightened.
In his previous life, Ouyang Shuo was only an adventurer player and had limited access to information. He only remembered that in the fifth year of Gaia, the Mongolian cavalry had invaded the south, and the territories along the way had all fallen overnight.
It was only a month later that there was news that some of the lords at the borders had acted as' guides'.
Digging deeper, these 'defecting' territories had a common characteristic. Before the war broke out, they had already established relations with the Mongolian tribes and received support from the Mongolians.
More than half of them were the so-called Mongolian nobles who acted as the middleman.
It was obvious that the Mongolians had been preparing for this war for a long time. What Ouyang Shuo did not expect was that in the third year of Gaia, they had already begun to take action.
The abnormality in Fengxiang City made Ouyang Shuo think of something.
Ouyang Shuo tried hard to calm himself down and said in a deep voice, "Let the Black Snake Guards follow this clue and investigate to the end. Also, send out the order to investigate the territories at the borders of Mongolia and see if there are any similar situations. "
"Understood!" Black Snake nodded in response.
There was clearly a reason behind the Marquis' reaction just now.
However, Black Snake was a smart person and naturally knew when to feign ignorance. Especially as an intelligence agency, he could not have too many thoughts or ideas of his own.
"Send a copy of the information just now to Luo Feng City." Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"This …" Black Snake suddenly hesitated.
"Why, is there a problem?" Ouyang Shuo frowned.
Black Snake gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to the Marquis, I wanted to report to you just now. There is conclusive information that the Feng family is actively lobbying Lord Feng Qiuhuang, hoping that she can return to the family. For this, they even offered a bargaining chip to give the Feng Qiuhuang family great power and abolish the old rule of male superiority. "
"Heh, since the hard way didn't work, they resorted to the soft way?!" Ouyang Shuo only found it funny, "How did Feng Qiuhuang react?"
"Lord Feng Qiuhuang flatly refused." Black Snake nodded, "Even so, in my opinion, we still have to be cautious."
"Got it." Ouyang Shuo nodded, "Remember, don't cross the line. No matter what, Feng Qiuhuang is our ally and my friend. Before there is conclusive evidence, don't cause a rift in the alliance because of your investigation, understand? "
Ouyang Shuo was very serious. He didn't want the alliance to be jittery at the slightest sound. Even more so, he didn't want to cast suspicion on all his allies because of the Dragon Seeking Acupoint.
If that happened, it would be very dangerous.
"Don't worry, I will act appropriately." Black Snake nodded.
"It is best to focus the investigation on the Feng family. Don't touch Feng Qiuhuang herself. Remember, you are an intelligence agency, not a secret service agency, nor the White Terror. "Ouyang Shuo reminded.
Under Ouyang Shuo's support, or even intentional indulgence, the Black Snake Guards had grown into a colossus with tentacles all over the world. Black Snake's achievements had long surpassed the mercenary group leader back then.
Sometimes, Black Snake rejoiced at his choice back then. At that time, he disbanded the mercenary group nervously and integrated into Shanhai City's system. He never thought that he would have today's status and achievements.
He didn't even dare to think about such power.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo had to remind Black Snake from time to time. It wasn't that he doubted Black Snake's loyalty, but he wanted to prevent the Black Snake Guards from expanding their investigation power, or even using public power for private purposes.
"Understood, the Black Snake Guards will definitely remember the Marquis's words, and we won't dare to overstep the rules!" Black Snake decisively expressed his stance after hearing that.
In fact, Black Snake wasn't the only one who had changed.
Black Snake was no longer the mercenary group leader back then, and Ouyang Shuo was no longer the overlord who showed off his abilities.
The current Ouyang Shuo was able to casually sit down and give his subordinates a great amount of pressure. Before, Black Snake could still guess the Marquis's thoughts, but now, there was only absolute obedience and respect left in his heart.
Most of the time, Black Snake forgot their identities as players.
It was as if they were really in an ancient country, facing a ruler with absolute power. They didn't dare to have any disrespectful thoughts.
To outsiders, this was very strange and even somewhat incomprehensible.
To the players of Shanhai City, especially those who were in important positions, it was natural.
No one could tell when the dazzling overlord had transformed into a true overlord. Especially now that the Marquis had returned, Black Snake felt even more strongly.
Among all the overlords in the world, who else could cause a tsunami just by returning?!
No one.
Heaven's might was unpredictable, and Black Snake had never felt that this feeling was so close to him.
…
Ouyang Shuo didn't know the raging waves in his subordinate's heart. After reminding him a little, he asked, "How's Hardstone City?"
At the end of the day, Ouyang Shuo was most worried about the situation in the north. Otherwise, he wouldn't have transferred the city guards to Hardstone City so early to 'train'.
Black Snake was startled. He suppressed the waves in his heart and regained his composure, replying, "Hardstone City is fine for now. For the past six months, Handan City has been the most active in the China region. Under Di Chen's leadership, Handan City has been on the offensive for the past six months, either by force, by trickery, or by threats and promises. With the unconditional support of the family, Di Chen has resorted to all means to conquer cities and strongholds. News of his success has been spreading. "
"Currently, the Capital Province, except for the territory of Hardstone City in the north, has all been brought under Handan City's rule. If it wasn't for the help of the city guards, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to defend Hardstone City. "
