#346 - Task Force
Five days later.
Da Ning, Long Prefecture, Long Prefecture City.
After a month, Bai Youheng once again arrived at this border city where he had committed "countless crimes", still looking worried.
This time, he didn't take the Yuan Prefecture route back to Fengyuan, but instead detoured slightly south, preparing to return to Da Feng from Long Prefecture.
With a hundred battle-hardened Dragon Guards by his side, Bai Youheng naturally didn't need to worry about any accidents along the way.
However, something seemed amiss in Fengyuan.
“Huff”
Taking a deep breath, he put the Mother-Son Jade back into his chest.
Bai Youheng slowly closed his eyes, his hands constantly forming hand seals. Soon, he used the Eye of Yama to see a scene.
Deep green aquatic plants swayed slightly, with fish swimming around. Sunlight passed through the lake water and fell on the sand at the bottom of the lake, scattering faint golden light.
That’s right.
Ever since the Gu Diao was injured by Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu last time, Bai Youheng had ordered it to hide at the bottom of a small lake in Fengyuan City, and it hadn't come out since.
He looked at it a few more times, and with a thought, cut off the connection with the Gu Diao.
The small guest room became clear again, and the noise from the street outside slowly became louder.
Returning to "reality", Bai Youheng was still sitting at the table, frowning and pondering the news he had just received.
[Wei Changtian and others seem to have found a way to find Yama. The rest is still unknown. I hope Young Master is vigilant.]
This was the information sent back from the Watchmen. The messenger was a Silver Gong.
Ever since Pei Dajun's exposure and death, Bai Youheng had lost his most important source of information. Although there were still many informants left, these people were all of relatively low status and might not be able to access some confidential matters.
Bai Youheng didn't care about this at first. Anyway, he had already decided not to let the Gu Diao show its face again until he returned to Fengyuan City, so he didn't need to care what Wei Changtian would do.
But now, this vague piece of information made him feel a little worried again.
Have found a way to find Yama . . .
If this was true, then his situation would undoubtedly be very bad.
Although Bai Youheng could "remotely control" Yama, during this process, his "main body" would also lose all perception of its surroundings.
Simply put, he couldn't multitask. The Gu Diao and his physical body could only be controlled one at a time.
And this made it impossible for him to constantly pay attention to the situation on Yama's side for twelve hours a day.
Therefore . . .
“Bang!”
He slammed his fist **** the table, Bai Youheng's face becoming more and more gloomy.
The Gu Diao not only contained his Heavenly Dao luck, but also concerned the success or failure of the major event he conspired with Ning Yongnian, so nothing could go wrong.
But now he still needed at least ten days to return to Fengyuan, and before that, the Gu Diao could not leave Fengyuan City a step.
If Wei Changtian really found the Gu Diao's hiding place during this period, he would lose everything.
No!
He must find out what Wei Changtian was going to do!
Thinking of this, Bai Youheng immediately took out the Mother-Son Jade to send a message back, ordering them to get more detailed information at all costs.
But in fact, he knew in his heart that this was probably very difficult to do.
And if he still couldn't find out . . .
Then he could only let the Gu Diao try.
Although this move had a certain risk, compared to the greater risk hidden in the mystery, Bai Youheng had no choice.
Fengyuan, Princess Mansion.
“Young Master, the news has already been spread, and I have sent people to keep a close watch on those who are more suspicious . . .”
In the heavily guarded secret room, the "12th Case Discussion Meeting of the Yama Execution Task Force" was being held. The person speaking at this time was Du Chang.
As a newcomer in this small group, perhaps wanting to prove his ability in front of Wei Changtian again, he had been very active these past few days.
“This subordinate believes that someone among them must have passed the information to Bai Youheng. We only need to observe for a few days to make a judgment.”
“If someone among them starts to deliberately inquire about information, then half of our plan will be considered successful. Next, we need to . . .”
“. . .”
Half an hour later, Du Chang explained the implementation of the "lure Yama to appear" plan from beginning to end.
Now, he can not only mobilize the Watchmen, but even mobilize the Fengyuan City Garrison, the government yamen, and all violent institutions except the Imperial Guards, and any orders do not need to be approved by Li Qi and the Da Feng court.
In other words, even if Wei Changtian now led the Watchmen and government servants to kill into the Da Feng Imperial Palace, it would not be a problem.
Of course, whether they were a match for the Imperial Guards was another matter.
But in any case, Wei Changtian, who possessed this kind of authority, had indeed temporarily become the second most powerful person in Da Feng, second only to Li Qi.
And the second person in Da Ning was undoubtedly Wei Xianzhi.
Good heavens, his power spans two countries, can you believe it?
“. . .”
“Well, it sounds like there are no major problems.”
In the secret room, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, Wei Changtian finally spoke slowly.
“Du Chang, your side is the most important. Even the slightest mistake may cause us to lose all our previous efforts. You must pay more attention.”
“Young Master, don’t worry!”
Du Chang immediately replied solemnly: “This subordinate would never dare to make mistakes in such a matter!”
“That’s good.”
Wei Changtian nodded and looked at Li Wutong again: “Princess, I will trouble you to worry more about the evacuation of the people.”
“This is what this palace should do.”
Li Wutong responded, and then asked: “Young Master Wei, there are still more than two thousand children near the Princess Mansion. Now that we can no longer use them to lure Yama to appear, can we send them out of the city together?”
“Not yet.”
Wei Changtian recalled the conversation between Pei Dajun and Yama that he had overheard that night, and shook his head and replied: “These children will be sent out of the city last.”
“Yes.”
Although Li Wutong didn't know the reason why Wei Changtian acted like this, she didn't ask much, but just nodded to show that she understood.
At this time, Wei Changtian also turned his attention to Chu Xianping, who had just put away the "codebook".
“Brother Chu, what’s wrong? Where did the news come from?”
“Young Master, let’s talk in private.”
“Oh.”
Since Chu Xianping said so, Wei Changtian naturally knew that this information should not be known to Du Chang and Li Wutong, so he got up and walked into a small compartment deeper in the secret room.
Chu Xianping, who followed closely behind, turned around and closed the door, and then lowered his voice and said:
“Young Master, it’s the information sent back by You Jia.”
“She said she has found Bai Youheng's whereabouts.”
