Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 151 The next target, Tang Sect?

Qu Tong is dead.

Lu Liang disappeared.

The next day, Nadutong went to the chairman's office.

Zhao Fangxu looked at the two pieces of news that had just been delivered to him and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.

But he rubbed it around and around, but the headache didn't ease.

After a moment, he looked up at Xiao Su who was standing in front of the desk and asked, "Xiao Su, what's going on?"

"This is the news from North China." Xiao Su replied.

"It was at Tuoshan Mountain in Yucheng that the Yaoxing Society and Quanxing clashed. In the end, Qu Tong died, Lü Liang disappeared, and the others escaped."

"Qu Tong's body has been brought back, and the specific cause of death is still under investigation."

"Have them investigate more thoroughly." Zhao Fangxu paused, then said in a deep voice, "Also check their identities to confirm whether there's any possibility of disguise."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao."

Xiao Su nodded in response and continued:

"Mr. Zhao, there is one more thing."

"Mu You, one of the Ten Lords, requested to convene another meeting of the Ten Lords to discuss Lü Liang's matter. He said he wanted to seek justice for Jianghu Inn."

"Why does Mu You show up at this time?" Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses and frowned.

Hearing this question, Xiao Su's mouth twitched, revealing a slightly complicated expression.

"According to Mu You, Lü Liang sneaked into the Jianghu Inn two days ago, and he even disguised himself as Mu You to get in."

"What is Lü Liang doing at Jianghu Inn?"

Zhao Fangxu paused as he pushed the glasses frame, his eyes slightly widened in surprise, and asked.

"The news from Mu You is that Lu Liang entered the intelligence room and took away two intelligence files. No other losses have been discovered yet."

"He said that one of the two files Lu Liang took belonged to the Yaoxing Society."

Zhao Fangxu nodded slightly. "This explains how Lv Liang found the secret base of Yaoxing Society. It seems that Qu Tong's death is closely related to Lv Liang."

“Hehe, that’s not necessarily true.”

At this moment, Er Zhuang's mechanical voice suddenly sounded.

When he heard this voice, Zhao Fangxu remembered that before Xiao Su came in, he was communicating with Er Zhuang and the communication was not turned off.

"Erzhuang, why do you say that?" Zhao Fangxu asked.

"Hehe, just now, I checked the communications that took place near Tuoshan yesterday and copied a section of the automatically saved call log from a certain phone."

"Let me show you guys~"

As Er Zhuang finished speaking, the computer speakers in front of Zhao Fangxu started to ring, and the voices of Shen Chong and Lu Liang came out from them——

[Acting Sect Leader, we've found Qu Tong, the one you were looking for.]

[Okay, try your best to trap her with the Twelve Love Arrays first. Don't let her escape. I'll rush over as soon as possible!]

She can't run away.

【What happened, Shen Chong? 】

[Qu Tong can't run away because she's dead.]

After hearing this, Xiao Su showed a surprised expression, "It sounds like Qu Tong wasn't killed by Lu Liang, but died at the hands of the Four Madmen."

Hearing this, Zhao Fangxu did not show any surprise, but frowned slightly and said:
"Hasn't Lu Liang been using a communication device to contact the people of Quan Xing? Why is he suddenly using his phone?"

"That's right." Er Zhuang also reacted, "I always felt that he knew of my existence and was deliberately guarding against me. I couldn't catch any clues about him before."

"There are actually call records left this time. Could it be... a scam?"

Zhao Fangxu shook his head. "This is just one possibility. Another possibility is that Lu Liang's communication tools are not enough."

"If the communication instruments are insufficient, then it means that Ma Xianhong is probably no longer in Lu Liang's hands."

Zhao Fangxu continued to analyze, his fingers tapping on the table subconsciously, making rhythmic sounds.

"When we were in Biyou Village, Lu Liang sent us a message under the identity of Lao Jin, which mentioned the relationship between Yaoxing Society and Ma Xianhong."

"If it's the second case... then the conflict between Lu Liang and Qu Tong this time is very likely related to Ma Xianhong."

Xiao Su sighed, "Now that Qu Tong is dead, only Lu Liang knows the answers to these questions. Unfortunately, Lu Liang is nowhere to be found."

"When Xu San from North China rushed over, he saw the four Zhang Kuangs, but was unable to stop them. As for Lu Liang, he disappeared completely."

At this time, Er Zhuang also added:

"I also checked the surveillance footage outside Tuoshan. Besides the Quanxing Four Madmen, Quanxing's Zhu Yuan and that foreigner Baron also appeared. Only Lu Liang's figure did not appear in the surveillance footage at all."

"Could it be hidden in the Devouring Sac?" Zhao Fangxu's eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses, revealing a thoughtful look. "But, given Lu Liang's personality, he probably wouldn't want to..."

"However, if we ignore his method of escape and only speculate on his whereabouts, perhaps we can think of a different approach."

"After destroying the Yaoxing Society, which had always been hostile to him, what will Lu Liang do next?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Fangxu suddenly looked up at Xiao Su.

"Xiao Su, you just said that he took two files, one from Yaoxing Society... what about the other one?"

"Tangmen."

Xiao Su gave an answer that Zhao Fangxu had never expected.

"Tang Sect? What does he want information about the Tang Sect for?"

Xiao Su shook his head, "Mu You also feels strange about this matter."

Zhao Fangxu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then instructed, "Notify the Tang Sect of this matter as soon as possible."

"Also, send a few people outside the Tang Sect to keep an eye on them. If you find anything amiss, report it immediately."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll arrange it immediately."

……

At this time, the other side.

In the mountain city, at the old campus of Tangmen Martial Arts School, in the principal's office.

Tang Miaoxing, the head of the Tang Clan, sat at a low table, holding a black chess piece in his hand, but his eyes were not on the chessboard. Instead, he was looking at the uninvited guest sitting opposite him.

He asked, "Master Mu, you didn't come to my Tang Sect just to play chess with an old fellow like me, did you?"

Mu You placed the white chess piece in his hand somewhere on the chessboard, then looked up and said, "I came to the Tang Sect to remind the leader to be on guard against Lu Liang."

"Lü Liang, the one with Quan Xing?" Tang Miaoxing asked.

Mu You nodded seriously, "It's him, the little devil who's been stirring up trouble everywhere lately."

"He stole two pieces of intelligence from our Jianghu Inn. One of them belongs to your Tang Sect."

"So, I think he might come to the Tang Sect to cause trouble in the near future."

"Lü Liang is extremely skilled in the art of disguise. When he entered Jianghu Inn, he disguised himself as me. My disciples didn't recognize him at all. He will most likely do the same when he enters the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect leader should be on high alert."

After Mu You finished speaking, he was about to ask Tang Miaoxing if he had any guesses about Lu Liang's intentions, but he found that Tang Miaoxing's expression was a little subtle.

Mu You was stared at like this for a while, and finally reacted.

His expression suddenly changed to something interesting, and he asked in a bad mood, "Master Tang, you don't suspect that I'm Lu Liang in disguise, do you?"

Tang Miaoxing said nothing, but his eyes were clearly filled with scrutiny and suspicion. "Master Mu, perhaps you could prove your identity first."

Mu You raised his hand and touched his bald head speechlessly, then said:

"Master Tang, back then you and the Japanese Bihe Ninja agreed to fight at the Toutian Cavern. Before you set off, Master Tang Bingwen received an envelope containing intelligence on Bihe Ninja."

"Only the successive masters of our Jianghu Inn know about this matter. This... can prove my identity, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Miaoxing's expression relaxed a little. He nodded slightly and continued:

"The person who brought that information was none other than Manager Liu of Jianghu Inn, no, it was called 'Yinghe Tower' at the time. The old headmaster told me this before he died, asking me to remember Jianghu Inn's kindness in helping me."

“This news is indeed unknown to most people.”

At this point, Tang Miaoxing bowed to Mu You and said, "Master Mu, I'm sorry for offending you just now. I'm just being cautious."

"After all, from what I've heard about Lu Liang's style of doing things these days, he's certainly capable of pretending to be you and reporting to the Tang Sect."

Mu You nodded heavily, obviously agreeing with this statement.

The two were silent for a moment, and Tang Miaoxing finally placed his black piece on the chessboard. Then, he asked bluntly:
"Master Mu, what's in that intelligence from the Tang Sect?"

"It's mainly about the development history of the Tang Sect, including the division into the outer and inner sects, major events like the dismantling of large institutions by companies... and some rumors about Dan Shi." Mu You replied.

Hearing this, Tang Miaoxing was silent for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Jiang Hu Xiao Zhan is really good at this. He even knows the secret techniques of my sect."

"Master Tang, there's no need to be so sarcastic with me. Intelligence is the foundation of our Jianghu sect, so a large sect like the Tang Sect is naturally the target of our investigation."

"However, regarding the secret technique of Dan Shi, all we have found are some of the effects displayed during battle. We have no intention of exploring its essence and practice methods."

When saying this, Mu You's expression was very serious, without any intention of joking.

Seeing this, Tang Miaoxing waved his hands and said, "You have such a bad temper, it's really hard for ordinary people to act it out."

After that, he changed the subject and asked, "Then why did Lu Liang take away my Tang Sect's information? What was his intention?"

"I don't know." Mu You shook his head. "I came here today to ask for Sect Leader Tang's guess."

"I can't imagine it," Tang Miaoxing replied. "Although our Tang Sect has some experience in mechanical engineering and poison techniques, I don't think these are very attractive to Lu Liang."

Mu You's eyes fixed, and he made a guess:
"Now, Chen Jinkui is still crazy, and the selection of new candidates for the Ten Lords is imminent. Perhaps he is here to win you over in advance."

"Master Mu, you're joking. My Tang Sect was founded on assassination and has always kept its distance from other sects. We are not suited to get involved in the management of the alien world. My Tang Sect has never had any thoughts about the Ten Lords Association."

Mu You nodded slightly and continued to speculate:
"If it's not this, then he's most likely here because of the Jiashen Rebellion. Judging from recent signs, he's investigating Wu Gensheng's case."

Hearing this, Tang Miaoxing's pupils suddenly shrank.

But soon, he restrained his expression and changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"Master Mu, I heard that last time at the Ten Lords' meeting, you suggested killing Lu Liang. Are you really not afraid of offending Lu Ci?"

"The Lu family finally produced such a genius. Lu Ci is reluctant to let him go. I understand his feelings."

"But I still hold the same opinion. Lu Liang cannot be kept." Mu You said in a firm tone.

"If his courage, ability, and determination were not in the whole nature, then I would definitely praise him. But if he is in the whole nature, then he must be eliminated!"

"You're a very strong-willed person," Tang Miaoxing said with a smile. "Each of the ten bosses is a real character. When faced with a difficult problem, they're all very good at smoothing things over."

"So, I hope that you, Sect Leader Tang, can join the Ten Lords Association."

Mu You laughed and stood up.

"Master Tang, I have told you everything that needs to be told."

"We at Jianghu Inn can't defend against that little devil Lu Liang. Your Tang Sect is famous for its mechanical devices and poisons, so maybe you can capture him."

"If you find anything, please let me know."

"Easy to say."

……

On the other side, in the Baishishan base.

Boxes containing intelligence were lined up.

Shen Chong was buried in the box, carefully looking through the information inside.

Beside him, Gao Ning and Dou Mei were also quietly sorting out the information.

Only Xia He was sitting on a box, swinging her long legs and playing with her nails out of boredom.

She spoke lazily, "How boring... How long are we going to hide here?"

"Now, the company's people are looking for us everywhere, so we'd better hide. The formation here has been repaired by Zhuge Qing, so it's the safest place."

Shen Chong answered without even raising his head.

"Anyway, it's quite interesting to read the intelligence. Maybe I can find a lot of suitable clients from this information."

Hearing this, Gao Ning asked, "That little girl named Fu Rong seems to be quite dependent on you. Why don't you develop her into your client?"

Shen Chong shrugged, "I'm just greedy for money, not for my life."

"That's the expert that the acting leader has set his sights on. How could I possibly snatch that away from him?"

"You keep calling me acting leader. You seem to adapt quickly." Xia He teased.

"Because I recognize him." Shen Chong continued, "Maybe we will call him the leader soon."

"Except for Tu Junfang and that Ding Shimaan who only cares about fighting, no one else among the masters of Quan Xing should have any objections to this matter."

"Anyway, I have no objection." Shen Chong continued, "It's not easy to be the leader of our Quanxing Sect."

"Why has Quanxing been without a leader for so many years since Wu Gensheng? Firstly, there is no one who can convince the Quanxing people, and secondly, most people can't withstand the pressure from the outside world."

"Master Quan Xing is truly the target of public criticism and condemnation."

"Since Lu Liang dares to take the responsibility, I naturally have no objection."

"Shen Chong, why didn't I realize before that you have a talent for flattery?"

Xia He stopped playing with her nails, supported her chin with her right hand, and sneered.

Hearing this, Shen Chong was not angry.

"I'm good at investing." He shook the intelligence information in his hand. "Without Lu Liang, I wouldn't be alive today, let alone have so much information about potential clients."

"Besides, this is information about the sect where the Thirty-Six Thieves are from. It's really good stuff."

"Didn't we agree to go to Longhu Mountain because we were interested in what happened back then?"

"Flattery!" Xia He continued to sneer.

Hearing the conversation here, Gao Ning twirled the beads in his hand and chuckled:

"Xia He, you're really angry today. Do you want Dou Mei to help calm you down?"

Dou Mei glanced at Xia He, smiled gently, and said:
"The place where the acting leader is going this time is also the sect where one of the thirty-six thieves is located."

"I think he also wants to find out the secret as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Xia He curled her lips and said, "If you want to find a secret, why not go alone..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chong immediately looked up and replied, "So this is why you're so angry today."

"You haven't seen Chen Duo. That girl looks young, but her witchcraft is very powerful."

"Of course we should take her with us when we go to that place."
