Xiafeng District, City Lord's Mansion.
The spies who returned from Zhiling District were all like headless flies. Tianqi, the main guard of the small town, seemed to have lost his soul. He looked like a frightened bird. Among the four guards who accompanied him to Zhiling District, only one Wei Yang returned in the end, and his face was always pale.
In the end what happened?
The people who came back brought back some information, but it was obviously incomplete and lacked many details that only the parties involved could have insight into. According to the rules of the city lord's palace, even if a person dies, a letter of death should be sent, but this time , the spies who had always fulfilled their duties seemed to have forgotten this rule, and not a single fatal letter was left behind.
Did they forget, or did they never get the chance?
Family Wei Wei Yang, as well as the six spies who returned from Zhiling District, were not summoned by the city lord Wei Zhong in person for detailed questioning. As for Wei Tianqi, he had already been taken away by his servants and was taken care of tenderly and carefully.
But this little bit of warmth did not dilute the atmosphere of the City Lord's Mansion at all. Everyone felt that the air was filled with tension, making people breathless.
The Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion has never been in such a sorry state. A mission that was supposed to be risk-free actually killed a total of twenty-two spies and three family guards. What is even more embarrassing is that no sufficiently detailed process has been compiled so far. Especially the death of Wei Ming and the eight spies among them, everyone had no idea about it.
The sound of teacups breaking was heard in the meeting hall, and the penetrating sound wave seemed to contain the spirit of singing. The birds on the big branches outside the meeting hall were frightened by the sound and flew up one after another. Then, the entire city lord's palace fell into a deathly silence.
The person who dared to throw a cup in the meeting hall could only be Wei Zhong himself. As a wealthy man, he rarely got angry like this, let alone lost his composure in front of so many subordinates.
Not to mention inside the meeting hall, even outside the meeting hall a hundred meters apart, everyone who heard this sound did not dare to make a sound.
In the meeting hall, Wei Yang. There were six spies who had returned from Zhiling District and fell to their knees, feeling extremely frightened.
The six spies were originally stationed in Zhiling City, and assisting Wei Tianqi and his party was their mission after Wei Tianqi and others arrived in Zhiling City. But after Wei Ying's death, the city lord's mansion sent additional manpower. A total of twenty-one spies, led by veteran home guard Wei Zhong, all sneaked into Zhiling City.
The scale of such an operation is quite large. There are only seven spies in the city lord's palace who stay in Zhiling City on weekdays.
But the results. Not only the entire army of twenty-one spies was wiped out, but one of the seven spies stationed in Zhiling District was also included. The remaining six people were quickly recalled to make face-to-face reports, but the six people could only complain secretly. They followed Wei Ming's instructions and pretended to be passers-by to mislead the pursuers in a planned way. As a result, Qin Sang was successfully pushed away by them, but it did not have any impact. What they finally saw was the east side of District Three. There were corpses scattered on the avenue, as well as the corpses that were moved out one after another by the Zhiling City guard team from the house on the right turn. Among them was Wei Ming, known as the think tank.
Now the city lord Wei Zhong wants an explanation from them, but all they know is this result. What everyone can say in one voice is that Lu Ping did these things.
"There is also a girl named Su Tang who is with him." All he could add was this sentence. After being said first by a secret agent, everyone immediately raised their heads deeply.
The deaths of Wei Zhong and the fourteen spies were finally seen by many people, including Wei Tianqi and Wei Yang who saw them from far away on the dianpo stage. After that, they finally learned about it. But after that, I really don’t know anything about what happened on the street where I turned right. There is no way to find out, as for Lu Ping's realm and abilities...
"The speed of punching is very fast and the power is very strong. Ding Wen, the examiner of the Dianpo Conference, was defeated by him with one punch." A report from Wei Yang. It was Lu Ping's performance that he saw later on the dianpo stage. But this description, including the information about fast speed and quick reaction found in other battles, is of no value to the analysis of Lu Ping's realm and abilities. The efficiency that the City Lord's Mansion has always emphasized seems to have encountered an insurmountable barrier when it comes to targeting Lu. This is the real reason why City Lord Wei Zhong is annoyed.
He's not afraid of things going wrong. But he extremely hates situations where after a situation occurs, he is unable to figure out the situation and is unable to take the next step.
There was silence in the meeting hall.
There is only so much that can be reported. Wei Zhong has finished throwing his tea cup. What next?
Wei Zhong didn't speak, and Wei Yang and the six spies who were kneeling on the ground really had nothing to say. Fortunately, there are more than just them in the council chamber. The remaining eight of the twelve family guards, except for two who are away on missions, are all in the meeting hall now. They are undoubtedly Wei Zhong's most trusted subordinates.
The one who finally broke the silence was Wei Kang, the head of the twelve family guards.
He is the same age as the city lord Wei Zhong. He has been Wei Zhong's servant since he was a child and has followed Wei Zhong closely for more than forty years. In terms of ability and strength, he may not be the most outstanding among the twelve family guards, but if it is said that he is the most trusted and has the closest relationship with the city lord Wei Zhong, then he is the one. He was the only one who could calmly speak out when Wei Zhong was so angry. No one knows better than him how to assist Wei Zhong to make him more satisfied.
"It's better to ask Guo Youdao first." Wei Kang said.
"Of course we have to ask, not just him, but everyone in Zhaifeng Academy has to ask," Wei Zhong said.
"I obey," Wei Kang said immediately. Wei Zhong's mood eased a lot. He reused Wei Kang because only Wei Kang could fully understand his intentions and execute them quickly and efficiently without him saying a word.
At this moment, a shout came from outside the door of the chamber: "The latest information."
"Come in." After Wei Zhong said this, the door was immediately pushed open. The spies outside the door had already begun to report the new situation without coming in.
"After investigation, the whereabouts of Chiling District Hospital Supervisory Committee Chairman Ku Qi and fifth commander Qi Xing are unknown."
"Whereabouts unknown?" Wei Zhong needs a more conclusive description of this description.
"After inquiring about Ku Qi and Qi Xing, they launched an operation, but then they lost information and neither the person nor the body was seen." The secret agent reported. Although the six spies stationed in Zhiling District were recalled, new spies were immediately sent to take over the intelligence work there. Naturally, what they wanted to quickly find out now were all the issues related to Lu Ping and the others.
"Kuqi..." Wei Zhong frowned. He knew that this person, judging from the intelligence, might be in danger. How capable are those brats? They can even kill Ku Qi, especially since the weather environment in Zhiling City is extremely conducive to Ku Qi's ability to flourish.
"And..." The secret agent saw that Wei Zhong seemed to be thinking, and immediately wondered whether he should change his story if he had any more information.
"Say." Wei Zhong said.
"Zhiling City discovered Nightingale's whereabouts. They asked the Xiafeng Academy students who were taking the big exam at Bipolar Academy about the failed assassination that night on Xiafeng Mountain."
