Sword Qi Thunderous Sound's emotions were complicated and it was hard for him to make a decision.
Unlike the Flowing Light Pavilion and the Laojun Temple, the Tingyu Pavilion was an official member of the League of Mountains and Seas – Guild Alliance, and Thunder Sword Energy himself was quite familiar with the members of the alliance.
Between the members of the alliance, there was no longer just a simple conflict of interest. There was also friendship.
It was too much to ask her to betray the Alliance of Mountains and Seas.
Seeing this, One Sword from the West said, "Ah Yin, I know you are in a difficult situation. But if he didn't accept the silver secret order, the Rain-listening Tower might not even be able to take down the satellite city of Luoyang with the terrifying means of the Silver Hand. Losing the satellite city was equivalent to losing their position as the overlord of the Royal City. Do you understand the consequences? "
"Is the Hand of Silver really that terrifying?" Thunder Sword Energy asked.
One Sword from the West casually mentioned the names of the leaders of four or five large guilds in Luoyang and said, "Standing behind these guys are all hidden aristocratic families, which are members of the Silver Hand. Apart from those who were directly controlled, there were even more who were indirectly controlled by the hidden aristocratic families. Even Di Chen and the others didn't know. Tell me, are they scary? "
"…"
Thunderous Sword Energy's throat was a little dry. "The leaders of these guilds that Yi Jianxi mentioned previously all vowed to cooperate with the Tingyu Tower." Once they collectively betrayed him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When he thought about it this way, he really did not have much confidence.
The key was that no one knew how many guilds the [Hand of Silver] could control if it was fully activated.
The unknown was the scariest.
Seeing this, One Sword from the West decided to add fuel to the fire. He advised, "Cooperating with the Silver Hand is not forcing you to turn against Shanhai City. "The Tingyu Tower has just chosen a new partner. If you feel bad about it, you can just avoid a head-on conflict with Shanhai City." On this point, the Silver Hand did not insist. I think that they can also understand your difficulties. "
This was giving him a way out.
Thunder Sword Qi's expression was complicated. He asked reluctantly, "Do I have to accept the order?"
"I can't not answer it. Think about Planet Hope. Weren't we compromising today so that we wouldn't be manipulated by others in the future? Ah Yin, don't ruin your own future, "One Sword from the West said.
Thunder of Sword Qi closed his eyes in pain and said bitterly, "I'll take it."
"Great!"
One Sword from the West was so excited that he wanted to step forward and hug the Sword Qi Thunderous Sound. But when he was right in front of it, he came to his senses and awkwardly froze his hand in the air.
Seeing this, Sword Qi Lei Yin sighed inwardly.
The moment he received the order, Thunder Sword suddenly felt uneasy. It was as if he had made a terrible decision that day.
"Unfortunately, there's no turning back now." Thunderous Sword Qi's mood was complicated.
After One Sword to the West left, Thunder Sword Qi wrote a final letter to Ouyang Shuo. The content of the letter was very short. There was only one sentence: "Sorry, please be careful."
In the end, Thunder Sword Qi thought about it and added the names of the leaders of the other guilds to the end of the letter. She believed that Ouyang Shuo was able to understand what she meant.
"This is all I can do." Thunderclap Sword's heart ached.
…
Dali, Ministry of Justice.
More than two hundred constables gathered in the courtyard, which was incompatible with the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.
On the steps, an assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice read the arrest warrant. "After investigation, the Pavilion Master of the Breeze Pavilion, Bright Moon Illuminates the River, is the blood brother of the Kunming County Chief of the Southern Border Protectorate, Baihua. The two of them have a close relationship and are suspected of colluding with the enemy. Now the Bright Moon Illuminates the River is to be taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation and to find out the truth."
"Yes, sir!"
Under the command, the constables rushed out of the Ministry of Justice under the leadership of the constables. Passersby on the road saw them and all got out of the way.
When the constables were far away, they came out again and pointed at them.
"It's a big festival. Who committed a crime and even alarmed the constables directly under the Ministry of Justice?"
"Who knows?!"
In less than half an hour, a group of constables arrived at the headquarters of the Breeze Pavilion.
The guards of the Breeze Pavilion were also puzzled when they saw a group of constables from the imperial court.
The constables did not stand on ceremony. They showed the arrest warrant and immediately led the constables into the courtyard of the headquarters. The guards did not dare to stop them. They only arranged for someone to rush to inform the pavilion master.
A large guild was naturally not afraid of the two hundred constables in front of them. However, they could not deny that they were from the imperial court. They had the backing of a million Imperial Guards, so they had no choice but to be afraid.
At this stage, even a great lord like Ouyang Shuo did not dare to go against the capital, much less a guild of players that made a living in the capital!
Of course, under normal circumstances, the imperial court would not find trouble with a guild of players.
Gaia had strict restrictions on this, especially in a capital city like Dali that had yet to be ruled by an emperor. The imperial court was like an invisible person that would not appear in front of the players.
It was clearly different this time. There was an expert operating behind the scenes, wantonly spreading rumors about Bright Moon Illuminating River and White Birch. The Ministry of Justice had sufficient reason, so it was reasonable for them to send constables.
Furthermore, the arrest warrant stated very clearly that they were only temporarily holding Bright Moon Illuminating River. After the truth was investigated, if Bright Moon Illuminating River was innocent, they would immediately be released.
The crux of the matter was that the contest for the satellite city would begin tomorrow. If they took down Bright Moon Illuminating River at this time, the Breeze Pavilion would immediately be without a leader. His sinister intentions were clear as day.
Therefore, when Bright Moon Illuminating River received the news, they immediately thought of the contest for the satellite city tomorrow.
It was too much of a coincidence!
"Many times, excessive coincidences are not coincidences, but conspiracies." Bright Moon Illuminating River knew this, but he did not dare to take the opportunity to escape.
Once he resisted arrest, the imperial court would have sufficient reason to seal up the Breeze Pavilion.
When that happened, it would be an even greater disaster.
The mastermind was truly vicious. He had been hiding all this while, only taking action on the night of the Lantern Festival. He had caught Bright Moon Illuminating River off guard and had no time to prepare.
"Pavilion Master, what should we do now?"
While the constables were still at the door, the upper echelons of the guild urgently discussed countermeasures.
Bright Moon Illuminating River had already calmed down. He said, "No matter what, we cannot be disorderly, nor can we have a conflict with the constables. Otherwise, we will fall into their trap. Cool Breeze, restrain the gang members. Do not let your emotions affect your decisions. "
As the second-in-command of the Breeze Pavilion, Cool Breeze had a lot of prestige.
"Understood!" Cool Breeze turned and left.
Another deputy Pavilion Master of the Breeze Pavilion, Night Rain, asked, "What about tomorrow's contest for the satellite city?"
Bright Moon Illuminating River said, "Follow the original plan. When I'm not here, you and Cool Breeze will command. I think the enemy has more than this ruthless move. I'm afraid there will be more waves in tomorrow's contest. You have to be careful. "
Night Rain nodded with a solemn expression.
"Also, after I leave, immediately send a letter to White Birch and tell her everything that happened today. I suspect that this matter is not simple. I'm afraid that the mastermind has a big plan. "Bright Moon Illuminating River said.
Night Rain was shocked when he heard this. He hesitated and asked, "Pavilion Master, do you mean that their real purpose this time is to deal with Shanhai City? It can't be?"
"It's hard to say." Bright Moon Illuminating River did not dare to draw a conclusion. "Anyway, it's always good to be careful."
Although Bright Moon Illuminating River did not say it with certainty, his intuition told him that behind this conspiracy, there was a high chance that Shanhai City was the target.
Because if it was just to prevent the Breeze Pavilion from taking over the satellite city of the Dali Kingdom, his opponents did not have the power to influence the Dali imperial court and ask the Ministry of Justice to take action.
Night Rain nodded with a solemn expression.
At this moment, there was a noise and a shout from the small courtyard at the door. The constables had arrived.
"That's it. I'll leave tomorrow's matter to you." Bright Moon Illuminating River was a straightforward man. He did not hesitate and took the initiative to walk out of the room.
Before Sword Rain followed him out, he heard a shout from the small courtyard.
"I am Bright Moon Illuminating River."
Sword Rain shook his head. His big brother was still the same, honest and straightforward.
In the small courtyard, at this moment, hundreds of players of the Breeze Pavilion had gathered, and the courtyard was full of people.
Seeing that the Pavilion Master had been arrested, everyone looked angry, and their eyes looked murderous. If Cool Breeze had not been maintaining order, these constables would not have been able to walk out of the small courtyard.
Seeing this, even the constables' feet trembled a little.
Before coming, this constables did not expect to encounter such a big scene.
"Take him away!"
The constables did not dare to stay for long. After taking the man, they immediately prepared to leave. If they stayed any longer, he was afraid that his constables would wet their pants. These Dissimilated Men were really cruel, like wolves and tigers.
Waves of murderous intent pervaded the courtyard, making people feel cold.
It was no wonder that gathered in the small courtyard were all the elite members of the Breeze Pavilion. Which one of them did not kill people like flies?
At this moment, the originally clear night sky suddenly began to drizzle.
Bright Moon Illuminating River stood in the rain and looked around at the brothers present. Unexpectedly, he grinned and said loudly, "Brothers, don't panic. I'm just going to the Ministry of Justice for some tea, and I'll be back soon. Tomorrow's battle, when I'm not here, you can't be lazy. Open your eyes and kill all the enemies of the Breeze Pavilion. "
After a pause, Bright Moon Illuminating River suddenly shouted, "Brothers, tell me, can you do it?"
"Yes!"
Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the momentum was great.
"Haha, good!"
Bright Moon Illuminating River laughed heartily, turned to the constables, and said, "Your Honor, let's go." He suddenly took the initiative and became the host.
Seeing this, the constables did not dare to refuse.
A group of people shuttled through the curtain of rain, and soon disappeared on the street.
The members of the Breeze Pavilion silently watched the back of the Pavilion Master go away, and they shared a common enemy.
In the curtain of rain, Cool Breeze was the first to withdraw his gaze. He turned his head and said, "Everyone, have an early rest. There will be a big battle tomorrow. Don't let the Pavilion Master down."
Everyone nodded in silence and gradually dispersed.
Only Cool Breeze and Sword Rain stood in the corridor, looking at each other in silence. They both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"There's something fishy about this rain!"
