Xuanxia

Chapter 605 Settlement
"Everyone, you are all my confidants. Today I have an important task to do, and you are the only ones I can trust."

Chi Tiancong was wearing armor and holding a long sword. He paced back and forth with a solemn expression. Three soldiers stood in front of him.

This place is not somewhere else but the charity cemetery.

Lao Wang had already left to get medicine. Was there anyone following him? Of course there was—the one following him was Chi Tiancong's real confidant, his brother-in-law, and the first person to discover that something was wrong with Lao Wang and tell him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lao Wang’s son, Wang Zhao, is still unconscious not far away…

“You may not know…”

Chi Tiancong said in a deep voice with a stern face, "The epidemic that has been prevalent recently was spread by those monks in trouble! These monks are all disciples of Huijue, the rebellious monk in Jinchan Temple! Even Prefect Yang is their accomplice!"

As soon as he said this, all three soldiers were shocked.

Judging from their shocked expressions, the three were no different, but it was unclear whether they were shocked by hearing the news or by having their conspiracy discovered.

Not far away, Ning Wushu sat quietly in the shadows, his eyes calm, looking at the three soldiers from a distance.

With her many years of experience in leading troops, she already had some guesses in her mind the moment the three men showed surprised expressions.

But guesses are just guesses after all and cannot be counted.

But it doesn’t matter… She has already taught Chi Tiancong the method.

"There is not much time now, so I don't have time to explain it to you in detail. I will explain it to you in detail after I finish my work."

Chi Tiancong continued: "Don't worry, everyone. A big shot from the capital has come to investigate this matter..."

He turned his head slightly and directed the three soldiers' attention to Ning Wushu.

Ning Wushu was in the shadows, her appearance could not be clearly seen, only the outline of her figure could be seen. She was sitting carefreely on a large rock, exuding a chic and majestic aura.

"...After the task is completed, you will be greatly rewarded! Rapid advancement is a piece of cake!"

Chi Tiancong whispered: "But for now, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, this news must not be leaked!"

Finally, one soldier couldn't help himself, and puffed out his chest and said in a muffled voice: "General! There is a problem!"

Chi Tiancong glanced at him and said, "Speak."

"How do we know if you are lying?" the soldier was obviously stunned and asked stiffly.

Chi Tiancong smiled at first, then frowned again: "You are a soldier, I am a general, you just need to follow the military orders! It's not the first day you have known me, do I need to explain my character to you again?"

He patted his chest and said, "Just do it! If you really commit a capital crime, I will die more miserably and faster than you! If you don't believe me, you can turn around and leave now!"

After that, Chi Tiancong glanced at the three soldiers sharply: "How is it? Is anyone leaving?"

The three soldiers all pursed their lips tightly and no one moved.

"very good."

Chi Tiancong curled his lips and said, "Now, come here one by one. This general will tell you the tasks individually. You can only know your own tasks, and you are not allowed to ask each other. If you are not careful and leak the news, not only will the matter be exposed, but our lives will be in danger!"

After that, he lowered his voice and threatened, "You don't want other men to sleep with your wives and beat your children after you die, do you?"

After a round of threats, intimidation and inducements, the three soldiers stopped talking and were called aside by Chi Tiancong and quietly told their tasks.

Their task is actually not complicated.

The first soldier needed to deliver the "evidence of collusion between Prefect Yang and Huijue" to a specific location - under the Bailong Bridge west of Anyue City - at 3:30 pm and hand it over to an important contact person.

The second soldier needed to deliver the "evidence of collusion between Prefect Yang and Huijue" to a specific location - an abandoned courtyard in the north of Anyue City, and hand it over to an important contact person at 5:05 pm.

The third soldier needed to deliver the "evidence of collusion between Prefect Yang and Huijue" to a specific location - a small pier south of Anyue City - at the hour of You, and hand it over to an important contact person.

Yes, their tasks are exactly the same, just the time and place are different. This is a very simple, but also extremely useful set.

If the traitor gets hold of such an important thing, he will definitely inform his accomplices immediately and try every means to control the "important contact person". This matter involves Prefect Yang, and Prefect Yang will definitely take action.

Then, the place where the enemy finally appears naturally points to who the traitor is.

As for the different time, it is of course to facilitate the arrangement of ambushes.

Soon, the three soldiers hid the "evidence" in their arms and ran to three different places.

"General Ning."

After Chi Tiancong watched them leave, he bowed deeply to Ning Wushu and said, "Did I make any mistakes in my work?"

Before, when facing Fu Qingzhou, he called himself a subordinate, but now facing Ning Wushu, he called himself a junior general.

"not bad."

Ning Wushu said, walking out of the shadows and smiling, "General Chi, do you have any thoughts on further advancement in the army?"

Chi Tiancong's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "As long as General Ning orders me to do so, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Haha, that's good."

Ning Wushu said calmly: "First, take care of this matter. You will have a chance in the future."

Chi Tiancong couldn't suppress the joy on his face. He said a few words of thanks and left in a hurry.

Now, he was going to set up an ambush.

……

"Oh?!"

In the government office, Prefect Yang unfolded the note in his hand and his eyelids jumped: "Someone from Beijing has contacted Chi Tiancong?!"

The prefect was very old, seemingly in his seventies, but he still took very good care of himself. His silver hair and beard were neatly trimmed, and his official uniform was not wrinkled at all.

Beside him, the master stroked the pigeon that delivered the letter and whispered, "Sir, I have already told you that when handling such an important matter, you must not underestimate General Chi..."

"Okay, there's no point in saying this now."

Prefect Yang frowned and said, "Besides him, how many other people are there in Anyue City? If he is discovered... Humph, if that's the case, just kill him! Anyway, the disease is rampant and so many people are dying every day. No one cares if there are a few more bodies."

After saying that, he stretched out his old hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

"This matter cannot be underestimated, it must be done quickly! Master..."

Prefect Yang glanced at the master and said, "Go and get the dead tiger here."

The master was shocked: "Sir, that man is a master sent by the lord. He was told not to use him unless it is absolutely necessary. How come..."

"You know nothing!"

Prefect Yang snorted, "Although Chi Tiancong is only at the fifth level, it's not difficult to find someone to kill him, but do you know who the person from the capital is? What if he is a secret envoy from the Mingjian Pavilion? An important contact person, a person hiding in the Yizhuang to command Chi Tiancong, at least one of them is a master!"

"Right now they still need Chi Tiancong to send soldiers to deliver the letter, which means that there are still not enough people. If we wait any longer and there are too many people, you and I will not be able to finish this!"

"We must catch them all at the fastest speed!"

After that, the old prefect's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Stop talking nonsense, go and ask Shihu to tell him... Kill him without mercy!"
