The stolen magic is a bit magical

“But now I realize that you are still the best person to me. If nothing unexpected happens, this medicine should be the Soul-Slaying Gu. You took this medicine out of my mouth and saved my life. You spent nine days traveling hard to resolve our shared life-or-death crisis.” Ding Ruoshui reached out and put her arm around his shoulder. “If my mother asks about my trip to Guangzhou, I can tell her that you were generally quite satisfactory!”

Lin Xiaosu's gaze fell on her hands.

They completely ignored the ambiguity in her words.

"Did you get your hands on this version of the medicine?"

Ding Ruoshui said, "I'm sorry, I still broke the ban you gave me. I still got close to Lei Xiaoya. At the time when Xia Tian was killed, I was with her. After she received this message, she threw the remaining half of the medicine into the sea in a seemingly unintentional way. I intercepted the medicine halfway and secretly hid it."

"Ruoshui, although you're a bit confused most of the time, you still have some intelligence when it matters..." Lin Xiaosu exclaimed, "This medicine is the kind that contains the Soul-Sustaining Gu."

"Is testing not required?"

"My eyes are the test!"

"The eyes are the test? Come on, look over here, let's test the others..." Ding Ruoshui's lips moved closer, and Lin Xiaosu turned her gaze away.

Click!

Mobile phone shutter!

Ding Ruoshui took a photo.

In the photo, the two appear to have their lips touching, both look radiant, and they are at the Guangzhou high-speed railway station, their bodies even overlapping.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiaosu was a little confused. How could a photo lie? God is my witness, he absolutely did not kiss her lips, absolutely not, but in this photo, it is clearly a kiss.

"Just use it as a prop to trick my mom into giving me money!" Ding Ruoshui said with a gleam in her eye. "Only if our relationship progresses steadily will my allowance keep coming in."

"..." Lin Xiaosu patted her head: "You just said that we are far apart in the martial world and will never meet again."

“That's because we didn’t know the actual situation. Now that I know, I’m even a little touched. If we were to return to Guangzhou now, your love for me might be even higher… Of course, that’s just a possibility.” Ding Ruoshui blinked.

"Well, it's getting late, I'll buy the tickets!" Lin Xiaosu bought two high-speed rail tickets.

Lin Xiaosu and Ding Ruoshui boarded the high-speed train.

They overlooked Ding Ruoshui's return to Guangzhou and her flirtatious act of making love to her thighs.

Although Ding Ruoshui still felt a little uneasy, she was more forgiving because she had wronged him.

So much so that when she learned at Jiangcheng High-Speed ​​Railway Station that Lin Xiaose was not going back to Nanhu Villa with her, but instead chose to return to Fengcheng, she wasn't very angry.

So they all went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

They packed their bags and went home.

The entire Great Xia Dynasty is engulfed in flames of war!

Smoke signals are not just for the battlefield; they are even more prevalent on the unseen battlefields...

In a secluded room, a middle-aged man stared at a projection in front of him, his face as if he were about to drip water.

Beside him, a beautiful woman stared at the announcement, her heart also churning with emotion.

"I never expected that Qianlong, who is always so cautious, would dare to take such a desperate gamble!" the beautiful woman gritted her teeth.

"What seems like a desperate gamble is actually an unparalleled scheme to win people's hearts and minds!" The middle-aged man's gaze slowly lowered, and he slowly sat down, reaching out to pick up the teacup on the table. The beautiful woman's eyes were fixed on the teacup, and she was surprised to see that the tea was slightly rippling.

Her heart was also surging with excitement.

She had been with him for ten years and had never seen the teacup in his hand sway.

"Headquarters!" the beautiful woman exhaled softly, "Is this round difficult?"

"This situation isn't difficult, it's... an unsolvable, openly calculated scheme!"

"Open conspiracy?"

"Yes, Qianlong issued a public announcement, revealing the matter of the Soul-Bearing Gu. It seems to have put a lot of pressure on the people, but in fact, it is a ploy to win people's hearts and minds!" The head of the headquarters said, "Once the announcement was issued, it completely changed the previous war strategy. Qianlong is no longer fighting us in secret, but is using the masses and relying on the masses to shake all our lines at the same time!"

The beautiful woman broke out in a cold sweat...

She understood the open strategy that the leader had mentioned.

In this world, it's not the conspiracies that are scary, but the open schemes, because there's no way to counter them.

For example, the strategy of "Hidden Dragon" is an open strategy.

The matter of the Soul-Giving Gu was originally a top secret.

Hydra would never mention it, nor would Hidden Dragon, because they feared public panic.

What would happen if we didn't mention it?
The result was a covert power struggle.

The Hidden Dragon will chase the chain, and the Hydra will cut the chain. Only a street, an alley, a person, or a department will be alarmed. Most people are completely unaware of this covert struggle.

That falls into the category of conspiracy and counter-conspiracy.

Although there are dangers, the overall situation is under control.

After the Soul-Bearing Gu incident broke out, the head of the syndicate made careful plans. He initially estimated that this turmoil would be significant, and if things went wrong, the entire Hydra team in the Great Xia region might suffer losses of 3% to 5%.

However, Qianlong suddenly changed his war strategy and announced the matter of the Soul-Giving Gu to the whole country in the form of a public notice, turning this conspiracy into a well-known announcement.

This is how it became public.

The rest is basically all out in the open. Those who have been afflicted by the Soul-Slaying Gu will almost certainly turn against us!

No one wants to have a deadly parasite inside their brain, and no one likes having a gun pointed at their head at all times, carrying out various orders given by others.

This is human nature!
In the past, they had many concerns and dared not resist, because they knew that if they resisted, they would die—killing them only required a wisp of incense. No matter how tight your defenses were, you could not stop breathing. As long as you breathed, you might inhale a wisp of incense that seemed to come from nowhere.

When they have committed enough crimes, they dare not resist, because even if they escape the killing of the Soul-Binding Gu, they cannot escape the punishment of the national law.

But today is different.

The successful rescue of the people on the technology line of Changsheng Group confirms that Qianlong has mastered a method to remove the Soul-Binding Gu, and that this method is stable, controllable, and without any errors.

Even more critically, Qianlong broke with convention and issued a pardon!
Under the coercion of the Soul-Slaying Gu, any crimes committed will be pardoned as long as the person who cast the Gu is revealed!
In that case, who wouldn't run away?
As long as they escape the clutches of their controllers and reach the Changsheng Group in Jiangcheng, they will be cleansed of their sins and rid of the deadly curse in their minds. Even an idiot would know to run away.

So what can Hydra do?
There are two options: kill them or don't kill them.

They killed them. The elites that Hydra had painstakingly selected, the traitors of Great Xia who had already been turned against them, were beheaded by their own hands.

If we don't kill them, the members of Hydra's network will be waiting for the lurking dragon to come knocking.

Regardless of the choice made, the final result is that Hydra suffers a severe blow!
This is conspiracy!
The so-called "open strategy" means that they are playing their cards openly against you, and no matter what you choose, you will lose!

And what about the hidden dragon?

No matter how things develop, we win.

Your Hydra upline personally eliminating their downline members can be called "eliminating traitors" in their reports.

If your Hydra upline doesn't eliminate their downline, and that downline runs to Jiangcheng and reports you to Qianlong, your upline will still face annihilation.

The beautiful woman understood everything, her lips trembling slightly: "This plan is so wild, it has a kind of 'don't care about the consequences' attitude. Is this something a hidden dragon could do?"

Qianlong certainly possesses strategic genius.

However, as high-ranking members of Hydra, they were quite familiar with the plans of the Hidden Dragons.

They knew very well where the shackles of the hidden dragon lay.

That is, everything must follow the rules, but this plan, every word in it, reveals an unconventional approach.

Completely disregarding the escalation of the situation, and even ignoring human lives...

It's really quite different from Qianlong's previous plans.

The head of the headquarters let out a soft sigh: "According to the inside report from Qianlong, this plan really didn't come from Bai Shui, but from Lin Xiaosu!"

"Lin Xiaosu! It's him again!" The beautiful woman bit her lip hard. "Chief, this person needs to be eliminated immediately. Otherwise, I have a bad feeling that he will cause even bigger trouble."

“What if something even bigger happens? ...Will he capture the Wing Blade?” The leader’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's not necessarily true!" the beautiful woman said. "I think he might..."

"You're exaggerating, it's already happened!" the headmaster interrupted her.

"What?" The beautiful woman was shocked.

The head of the headquarters said, "He captured Wingblade the day before yesterday!"

The beautiful woman stared in disbelief at the headquarters, hardly able to believe her ears.

“This man deserves to die, and it’s not just you who thinks so, it’s me, and it’s the Lord who thinks so!” the Chief said. “However, eliminating him is not our duty.”

"Headquarters has already sent someone?" the beautiful woman whispered in one breath.

"The one who has arrived is the Heavenly King, who has never failed!"

"Shadow?"

The leader nodded slightly.

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up immediately: "Should we cooperate, for example... wipe out his relatives and his damn detective agency, to make him panic?"

The head of the headquarters slowly shook his head.

The beautiful woman frowned: "I know that the headquarters has never liked to play the family card, especially against opponents with super personal strength. Playing the family card doesn't have much effect and will only provoke their anger. However, now is a critical period. If his family is eliminated, his mentality will be unbalanced, which can play an auxiliary role in the assassination of the Shadow King."

The leader said, "What you can think of, I can naturally think of even better. In fact, I have played this card three times since the death of the White-Clad Heavenly King!"

The beautiful woman's expression changed: "Why didn't it work?"

"Three teams entered Phoenix City and vanished without a trace in less than half a day." The head of the headquarters said, "Whether it's the Lin family or the detective agency, they are being secretly protected by a master. It's suspected to be... 'Red Flag'!"

The beauty paled in comparison once again.

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back.

She had her own ideas about acting as the executor of the vicious plan she proposed to the headquarters.

If the headquarters really adopts her plan and lets her enter Fengcheng as the executor.

He crashed headfirst into the red flag...

And so, her life's journey came to an end. (End of Chapter)
