Tonight in Huaichuan, many people must be tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The news that Tensei Province was suspected to have entered the fray spread rapidly as if it had grown wings. This was the power of the top forces of Houtu Earth, which spanned across both the black and white, entrenched in both the military and the political world. They held military power, were trusted by His Majesty, and were feared by the court. Such a terrifying force, even if it was just a name, even if it was just a flying sword, would make everyone think twice.
But Sun Lang was obviously not among the people who could not sleep.
Early in the morning, when Empress opened the door with a sleepy face, she saw Sun Lang doing morning exercises outside. This set of exercises, which in Empress' eyes had no beauty or practicality, was said to have come from Sun Lang's hometown. There, it was used by elementary school students to strengthen their bodies. It was called the Second National Middle School Radio Gymnastics.
— — Hmph, this kind of messy broadcast gymnastics, no wonder it could cultivate Sun Lang, this kind of crazy thing that often goes crazy.
The Empress Concubine silently cursed in her heart. Her expression became more and more gloomy. When she thought of Sun Lang's actions last night, she couldn't help but become angry.
At this time, Sun Lang finished the last beat of the exercise with a gorgeous Young Pioneer's Ripple Scamper. Then, he raised his small hand and saluted to the rising sun. His movements were standard, and his expression was firm, expressing his revolutionary spirit of being ready to sacrifice himself for his motherland and the cause of communism at any time.
Then he put down his hand, turned his head, and smiled like a revolutionary comrade at Empress Tensei, the representative of the evil forces of feudalism. "You're up?
You didn't dream of Freddy last night, did you? "
"Don't give me that!" Empress said coldly. "What did you do last night?"
Sun Lang immediately stood at attention and said loudly, "Last night, I went to Wang Lili's house to take a plane!"
Empress sneered. "You don't want to say?
Do you think I won't be able to guess if you don't tell me?
You must have gone to look for that Young Master Lu yesterday and tried to coerce him. You're all alone, so you might be able to coerce him into killing his entire family, but there's no way to coerce him. Therefore, you must have used the Heavenly Policy Mansion's name to coax him into working for you, right? "
Sun Lang chuckled but didn't say anything.
"Then you went to find Wang Dajiang and continued to tempt him … No."
His Highness Empress suddenly shook his head and said in a low voice, "Wang Dajiang and Mr. Lu don't see eye to eye because of the irreconcilable conflict of interests. They are both representatives and spokespersons of their respective forces. Their value lies in their identities and connections. Even if you use the name of Tensei Province to instigate them to defect, you won't be able to make them play the greatest role …"
She stared at Sun Lang with a burning gaze and snorted, "Did you reveal Zhao Yunlong's name to Wang Dajiang?"
Sun Lang chuckled. "You've improved a lot. You can even guess this."
The Empress Concubine sneered faintly, "It's not hard to guess what you're thinking. Wang Da Jiang is General Jing Yang's dog. Even if you force him to join the Heavenly Policy Hall, what's the use?
It's better to use your Chao Po-tao to make this guy work for you wholeheartedly. At the same time, Wang Dajiang and Young Master Lu will continue to be hostile to each other. As long as they're still competing with each other, the efficiency of doing things will be higher. "
Sun Lang clapped his hands. "Yes, that's it. After a night of hard work, Mr. Lu joined the forces of Tensei Province and played a role on his stage as a hidden chess piece. Wang Dajiang was encouraged and encouraged by the General's Mansion in Song Province. Similarly, he worked hard to prevent Tensei Province from getting their hands on the Legendary Sword …"
When the Empress Concubine heard this, she didn't know what to feel. How could a person be so shameless to this extent? She had clearly done a whole basket of bad things last night, yet she could still excitedly tell this to the victim early in the morning …
Sun Lang guessed what she was thinking when he saw her expression. He couldn't help but laugh. "You just need to enjoy the process. You built Tensei Province with your own hands. You walked with Tensei Province for so long. But now, your Tensei Province has become my shape. Hahahahaha …"
The Empress Concubine knew that this bastard was purposely making her angry again. Once she got angry, she would do as he wished. Thus, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and coldly said, "Don't tell me you think that your plan is flawless?"
Sun Lang shrugged. "How can that be? Espionage and instigation work requires tacit cooperation in all aspects to achieve the greatest effect. I'm doing it alone. No matter what, there will be flaws."
Her Royal Highness said lightly, "You don't seem to care."
"Of course I don't care. Why should I care about this kind of thing?"
Sun Lang paced back and forth on the spot as he said with a smile, "I don't expect to be able to make everyone run around in circles. I don't expect them to risk their lives to help me snatch the demon sword and respectfully hand it over to me. My goal and request, from the beginning to the end, is very simple and clear …"
He turned around and looked at Empress. He smiled and said, "I only hope that they can build a more effective and rapid warning system. They can release a warning signal when they discover the demon sword and let me know. I only need them to be a more efficient search team. That's all. That's why I dragged your Tensei Province out to be a target. I set up a huge monster so that they will have a sense of crisis and have a competitive attitude …"
When Sun Lang said this, he concluded, "In short, I only set a small goal. I only need to achieve this goal. Other than that, I don't care about anything else.
I don't care if Young Master Lu has second thoughts or if Wang Dajiang will contact General Jing Yang. They only need to do what I ask them to do. "
Empress looked at Sun Lang. She had a complicated feeling. She already understood Sun Lang's meaning.
Now he was only one step away from the demon sword … and that was the location. As long as he knew the general location of the demon sword, then the demon sword of Ketu would be surnamed Sun. No matter how many people fought with him, it would be useless.
This was the benefit of absolute power … There was no need to calculate people's hearts. There was no need to weigh the gains and losses. There was no need to consider more variables. One thing, the more one could do, the less one would need to rely on external help and the less one would need to consider the variables.
She was deep in thought when she heard Sun Lang's voice from a very close place. "You feel that I'm simply impossible to deal with so you regret your choice?"
Empress suddenly woke up and took two steps back. "Don't come so close to me!"
Sun Lang said sadly, "Heartless, really heartless. In the past, we even had the opportunity to maintain a negative distance of 18 centimeters. Now I can't even get close to you."
The Empress Concubine ignored his dirty words and coldly said, "I have never regretted … … Only the weak would regret their past."
Sun Lang shook his head slowly. "But I regret … I should never have trusted you."
Empress's eyes were cold. "I will make you regret it again."
Sun Lang looked at her and said calmly, "No, the one who regrets is you. You will regret it sooner or later."
Empress Tensei gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's wait and see."
Sun Lang said lightly, "It won't be too long."
In a wing room of the county government, several henchmen of Tensei Province hid in the room and whispered. They saw Her Highness go out and wanted to come out to greet her, but they saw her quarrel with Sun Lang. Who dared to go out on such an occasion?
"I say …" A henchman lowered his voice and whispered, "What's the relationship between Sun Lang and Her Highness?"
Another henchman said, "Are you stupid?
He kidnapped Her Highness the Empress Concubine, so the two of them are naturally enemies. "
"… Are you kidding?" The henchman who asked the question winked. "Have you ever seen an enemy with such a good relationship?
Usually, they are not at daggers drawn, so they can still chat together. That Sun Lang's words are all over the place, and only Your Highness can understand them. In my opinion, even fellow soldiers who have worked together for twenty years do not have as much tacit understanding as these two. "
The third henchman was experienced and prudent. He whispered, "Don't gossip about Her Highness's private affairs. Watch your mouth. It's not something we can discuss …"
Through the slightly opened window frame, this person glanced outside. The two people were still silently looking at each other. The things in their eyes had nothing to do with warmth, it was a cold blade of frost and a sharp sword of wind. Although he didn't know who this Sun Lang was, he understood that many, many things must have happened between him and Her Highness the Empress Concubine … Things that could only be recalled, but could not be repeated.
County Magistrate Lin, who came in a hurry, broke the silence.
When he rushed into the backyard, he saw the confrontation between Sun Lang and Empress. But Magistrate Lin didn't think too much about it and said concisely, "Your Highness, something happened again!"
Sun Lang frowned and said, "What? Someone died again?"
County Magistrate Lin first glanced at Her Highness Empress. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he continued, "Yes, there are six people this time. They were found when they entered the mountain early in the morning. It seems that they have been dead for several hours. They should have been killed in the mountain late last night. Because there are few people moving at night and it's dark at night, they only found out now …"
"Killed at night?" Sun Lang said lightly, "Entering the mountain at night? Are they tired of living?"
County Magistrate Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "They are blinded by greed. Few people enter the mountain at night to search. In other words, the probability of finding the target will increase. Many people think so. They are either confident in their martial arts or have the ability to see and search in the dark, so they will start work at night. But after all the arrangements are made, such a thing happened again …"
"Wait."
Sun Lang's expression changed slightly, "From what you said … they died in the same way as last night?"
Lin Wuying sighed and said, "Yes, their bodies were torn apart and cut into pieces. It's too horrible to look at …"
— This is interesting.
