Chapter 1356: Chapter 605: Intelligence (2)

"Please, Lord Qiu, make the arrangements!"

"I will arrange it, but there’s one thing that needs to be said in advance. During the transaction, you absolutely must not make a move on Hui Yao! Business dealings with Hui Yao concern the intelligence sources of the Ten Major Families, the future of the Rebel Army, and even current safety. Do you understand?"

Fang Yu nodded, "I understand the limits."

If it’s the real Hui Yao, then just take them down directly, find out Big Brother’s whereabouts, and at worst, offend both sides and escape from Thunder City.

Fang Yu was thinking this when he noticed Qiu Xiaoping’s gaze, firmly staring at him, speaking sincerely.

"Young Master Diao, this matter is of utmost importance, but I trust you! I’ve actually already had disputes about this with the Commander, but I still believe in you. I hope you won’t disappoint me."

Fang Yu: "..."

Slowly nodding, Fang Yu’s thoughts wavered slightly.

"Alright, just wait for my news on this matter, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible. Additionally, regarding the wanted orders and whereabouts of both of you, our Rebel Army has already started operating to cover for you two. The Underworld won’t be able to track you down in the short term."

"However, given the capabilities of the Underworld, this is merely a temporary solution. It’s best to handle this matter quickly."

Fang Yu was taken aback.

"Handle it? How?"

"It’s quite simple."

Qiu Xiaoping smiled slightly, making a throat-slitting gesture.

"Killing one is a kill, killing two is also a kill. Currently, the Underworld is only pursuing you with two people. Hall Master Jinfang Zai and Shen Chenshui’s disciple Xing Xueman. The rest of the Underworld are not involved."

"We can set up a trap, using you as bait, lure the two into it, catch them like turtles in a jar, and kill them both straight away!"

Fang Yu looked at Qiu Xiaoping of the Eight Thousand Blood.

Then looked at Xu Qingqi, nearing Nine Thousand Blood, and the other two, and started contemplating.

Honestly, if these people work together, cooperating with me, capturing a mere Hall Master from the Underworld is very feasible.

Not to mention, with the enemy being in the open and us in the dark, we have the upper hand.

This plan, feasible!

It could even be said that my joining the Rebel Army, the potential value brought, might lie in this.

If this plan succeeds, the Underworld loses two Hall Masters directly, their combat strength is greatly diminished, and the Rebel Army naturally will have rid a major worry, gaining significant advantages in future confrontations with the Underworld.

However, thinking in reverse, what are the pros and cons of this move for myself and Ding Hui?

Fang Yu frowned, slowly looking up at Qiu Xiaoping.

"Then after killing those two Hall Masters, where should my wife and I go?"

"Naturally, you’ll go underground, act with our Rebel Army. Killing two Hall Masters from the Underworld, this matter will surely cause a sensation in the whole city. Both of you will be directly targeted by the Master of the Underworld Mansion, at that time staying in the Forest Snake Gang won’t be safe. However, with our Rebel Army’s underground bases spread throughout the city to support, it’s not difficult to avoid the Underworld’s search."

Isn’t this becoming like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting to hit?!

Moreover, this is not solving the trouble, it’s forcing us to go up the mountain like bandits!

Besides, currently, both Ding Hui and I, if we want to leave, there’s still a way.

The city gates are merely blocked, at most guarded by captain-level figures, we can forcibly break through and leave.

But if we kill two Underworld Hall Masters and still want to leave Thunder City safely... that’s just dreaming.

"What’s there to hesitate! It’s only two Hall Masters from the Underworld, Brother Diao, just say it, I’ll personally go and help you kill them!" Xu Qingqi added fuel to the fire at this time.

"If Young Master Diao needs, we are naturally willing to lend our strength." The old Taoist also spoke up.

"How can the Minister of the Rebel Army be chased all over by the Underworld? Young Master Diao just say the word, and we’ll fully support you!" The man with a lush beard chimed in.

Everyone was united, shoulder to shoulder, just ready to show their might.

But whether successful or not, Ding Hui and I will be completely tied to the Rebel Army, making it extremely difficult to even leave Thunder City.

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Yu slowly shook his head.

"No rush, though the Underworld’s pursuit is troublesome, it hasn’t reached a critical point. I still hope to first ascertain my Big Brother’s whereabouts before discussing other matters."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and finally quieted down.

Only Xu Qingqi, oblivious to the situation, continued urging Fang Yu to take action.

In fact, Fang Yu’s words implied that the Rebel Army needed to first resolve his issues before he would be willing to contribute to their efforts, putting himself at risk to solve the matter of the Underworld Hall Masters.

Though already a high-ranking member, having just joined, a quid pro quo relationship is necessary for stability.

Qiu Xiaoping also understood that they couldn’t rush things; after all, it concerns the lives of two Hall Masters, and without the principal’s cooperation, it’s hard to succeed.

"Xu Qingqi, stop it, Brother Diao has his considerations."

"Coward!" Xu Qingqi was still somewhat dissatisfied and a little emotional.

Fang Yu, better understanding Xu Qingqi now, chose to ignore such emotions from her.

He directly asked Qiu Xiaoping.

"And one more thing, regarding Lian Xiaoya’s intel, do you have any news on your end?"

Speaking of Diao Ruonian, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even someone like Qiu Xiaoping, with vast Rebel Army intelligence resources, was at a loss.

It’s because...it’s too small a matter, too small to even be noticeable, and naturally, no one cares enough to investigate.

However, with Lian Xiaoya, there’s at least some trace.

At least, someone who left a mark on the world.

Of course, not because Lian Xiaoya herself made such a mark, but because of...Lianyun Village.

Lianyun Village, in the world, may not be famous, but at least it’s not completely obscure.

Though in the Thunder City area, one rarely hears of this force, deploying the Rebel Army’s intelligence network reveals some clues.

After all, Thunder City is a large city with a massive population and people coming from all over, so information about Lianyun Village is preserved.

"Regarding Lian Xiaoya’s whereabouts, we found nothing, but we did uncover a faction, named Lianyun Village. Everyone in the village has the surname Lian. It’s a rather rare surname, renowned in the Rolling Bone City area. The person you’re looking for should have come from there."

Lianyun Village?!

Fang Yu’s eyes lit up immediately!

Sure enough, professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

In reality, no matter how much one searches, some things are impossible to find. But the NPCs in the game know a wealth of information.

Rolling Bone City, Rolling Bone City... Many players are in Rolling Bone City, just mobilize the power of money, and there’s plenty of intelligence to be gathered. Also, Lei Shenhao mentioned he wanted to try his luck in Rolling Bone City, who knows if he’s reached there yet.

Moreover, based on forum intelligence, some old friends from Tianyuan Town might’ve settled down in Rolling Bone City, offering another source of support.

As Fang Yu thought this, he heard Qiu Xiaoping continue, "However, based on the latest intelligence, Lianyun Village seems to have been wiped out recently. Not a single survivor was left in the entire village, but specifics are unclear."

What?!

Lianyun Village had been annihilated?

Then...

No! Lian Xiaoya is still alive!

The matter may not be so simple, and it’s necessary to investigate the Lianyun Village ruins.

Or...maybe I should go personally!

Thinking of Sister Jin, Fang Yu’s heart warmed, eager to journey to Rolling Bone City immediately.

But now is clearly not the time.

Regardless, Lianyun Village must be thoroughly investigated, as it’s currently the only lead related to Lian Xiaoya!

"Thank you!"

Facing Qiu Xiaoping, Fang Yu clasped his hands in gratitude.

Since joining the Rebel Army, even in such a short time, the information he received was substantial!

This favor, he definitely owed.

"It’s good if it can help Young Master Diao. Regarding the ambush on the Underworld Hall Masters, we hope Young Master Diao will reconsider. If there’s any need, feel free to seek us at the Rebel Army bases for discussion."

"I’ll give it serious thought."

Fang Yu tightly held the map in his hand.

First, kill demons to become stronger, then make arrangements concerning Rolling Bone City.

Players seek profit, money can drive even the devils to work, and with Uncle Qi Sheng backing him, money is no longer a problem.
