Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 169 I'm Going to Muddy the Waters
Looking at Lu Huizhong's feigned indifference, Zhao Zhen suddenly seemed to understand what this "beautiful snake" had been plotting all along.

"I'm sorry, Sister Lu, but to be honest, my Golden Escape Flowing Light technique requires the use of talismans."

"Here, it's this Golden Light Talisman that shines across the land."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen also took out a Golden Light Talisman from his pocket.

"You should all know how troublesome it is to refine a talisman, so I don't actually have much of this kind of talisman in stock."

Generally speaking, unless faced with a life-or-death situation, I rarely waste the talismans I carry.

"So that's it..."

Lu Huizhong nodded knowingly, her eyes flickering, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Brother Zhao, you said you came down the mountain to arrange your affairs, so what exactly do you plan to do next?"

"Of course, we should call for help."

"Call for help?"

Yang Lie, Dong Chang, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

The saying goes, "When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength."

Zhao Zhen risked his life to lure out the ninja leader Ono Noriyoshi. Since the Hieiyama ninjas knew to set up a formation in advance, how could he not prepare some backup plans?
If one Tang Clan isn't enough, then add the San Yi Clan, the Lü Family, the Lu Family, or even the Quanxing Clan!
I refuse to believe that you can escape this time as easily as you did in the Battle of Cangshan last time!

After hearing Zhao Zhen's idea, even Yang Lie, who always had a poker face, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

No, it wasn't enough that the Tang Clan had mobilized almost all of its forces to defend their home; this guy actually wanted to call in a few more forces.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, it seems he's eager to bring all the forces of the entire supernatural world to Tianming Mountain!
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
"Is this really okay? The more people who know about this, the easier it is to expose our true intentions."

What if the ninja of Mount Hiei hear about this and, fearing our numbers, desert during the battle?

Dong Chang asked in a deep voice.

"They won't."

"why?"

Faced with Xu Xin's doubts, Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes for a moment.

"They may escape the first day of the month, but they can't escape the fifteenth. If they don't take this opportunity to kill me or the Tang Clan, they definitely won't last long either. This great battle presents an equal opportunity for both sides."

Besides, how can you be so sure that the only ninja coming from Tenmeizan a month from now will be from Hiaizan?

Upon hearing this, the entire Tang Clan group fell silent.

Indeed, they all overlooked the fact that even a cornered dog will jump over a wall.

Now that the Hieiyama ninjas have been driven to a dead end by the Tang Clan, it is not surprising that they might do something under such circumstances.

If the ninjas of Bihe Mountain pose a greater threat to the battlefield, does that mean the Tang Clan poses a smaller threat?

If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate the Tang Clan, are we supposed to wait until the war breaks out completely before letting them assassinate military and political figures?
"No! If we follow Zhao Zhen's line of thinking, wouldn't the Tang Clan's best experts be severely insufficient to defend the mountain in this great battle?"
What if those little devils use a diversionary tactic to lure us away and then launch a surprise attack on our base...?

Xu Xin, who was the quickest to react and the most quick-witted, was the one with the best mind.

"No! I must inform the sect leader about this immediately!"

"and many more!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen quickly grabbed Xu Xin and pulled him back.

"Do you think the Tang Clan Master wouldn't have considered the things you could have considered? This is part of the reason why the Tang Clan Master let me go down the mountain this time."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I can find someone to help you keep an eye on your hometown."

"I really didn't realize that you, Zhao Zhen, a freelancer without any sect or faction, have such good connections in the industry. This doesn't fit your persona at all, where you're always being chased by people..."

Lu Huizhong said with a mocking look in her eyes.

"There's nothing I can do. I have this quirk: people who like me find me pleasing to the eye no matter what, while people who don't like me just want to kill me no matter what."

"Aren't there any moderates?"

"Yes, for example, Sister Lu. To be honest, haven't you been plotting how to kill me all these days?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huizhong was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"Me? Why would I want to kill you?"

"Oh, it seems Sister Lu doesn't dislike me after all. Then it's alright."

Zhao Zhen chuckled, then strode forward on his own, leaving Lu Huizhong standing there, bewildered in the wind.

"What does he mean?"

Lu Huizhong turned her gaze to Yang Lie and the other two beside her.

Faced with this, Yang Lie and the others, who were trying hard to suppress their laughter, could only pretend they hadn't heard anything and quickly followed Zhao Zhen's steps.

"Hey, it's not you guys..."
-
Several days later, at the Lü family.

After Zhao Zhen explained the purpose of his visit, the head of the Lü family did not hesitate at all. He immediately waved his hand and sent people to keep an eye on things at the foot of Tangmen Mountain.

Especially Lü Ci, after hearing that this might be the final battle against the Hieisan ninja, insisted on going to Tianming Mountain with Zhao Zhen.

Although Lü Ci also went to the battle in Qinling last time, he was ultimately stopped by Zhao Zhen.

The fact that he was unable to avenge his elder brother Lü Ren's severed arm was a regret that had always been in Lü Ci's heart.

Now that such a good opportunity has presented itself, Lü Ci naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Brother Zhao, take me with you. If you take me with you, I'll write to Fatty right now and ask him to help make arrangements on his end as well."

Originally, Zhao Zhen didn't really want to bring Lü Ci along, but after hearing this, he immediately changed his mind.

"Okay, then it's a deal."

He knew, of course, that the fat man Lu Ci was talking about was Wang Ai, the Wang family's "precious treasure".

With Wang Ai involved, the Wang family, one of the four families, will definitely get involved in this mess.

The more muddy the water becomes, the lower the danger will be for the Tang Clan!
"A word is settled!"

Looking at Lü Ci's sinister smile, Zhao Zhen suddenly realized that he had indeed underestimated him before.

I initially thought this guy was just a "mad dog," but now it seems that this "mad dog" is actually quite intelligent!

Just from the fact that Lü Ci was able to keenly perceive his own needs and use them as a condition to exchange with him, he was definitely not a brainless brute!
As for Lü Ren, who lost an arm, perhaps because he had narrowly escaped death last time, the head of the Lü family refused to let Lü Ren go out and risk his life again after the Battle of Cangshan.
