Chapter 569 Two pieces of news

On the way out, He Jiahao seemed to be dreaming. He never thought that after making such a big mistake, Liu Changfeng did not punish him, but said a few words of comfort, which made him feel flattered.

In the room, Xue Mei asked in confusion: "Master, you just let He Jiahao go?"

"Is there any problem?"

Liu Changfeng asked lightly.

Xue Mei thought about it and suggested: "He made such a big mistake this time, we will definitely fall into a passive position. It is better to let him find a way, maybe there will be a chance to remedy it."

"It's too late, the other party is not a fool. This time, such a big handle has been given to us. Our plan can't be implemented. Instead of wasting time, it's better to give up directly. It's worthwhile to find out the details of the other party through this incident, isn't it?"

"Master is right."

Xue Mei thought about it, and it was indeed the truth. If it weren't for He Jiahao's mistake, they would still be kept in the dark. If Chu Yang suddenly came out when they really started to act, they would definitely be caught off guard. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

After a while, Liu Changfeng suddenly asked, "By the way, what has Zhuo Miaojin been doing recently?"

"According to the report from the old man of the Thief Sect, Zhuo Miaojin has been running around, collecting intelligence and comforting subordinates, and there is no obvious abnormality." Xue Mei said deliberately.

Liu Changfeng sat cross-legged on the bed, and when he heard the words, he glanced and asked, "What do you mean by no obvious abnormality?"

"It means that she often disappears for a period of time, and I don't know what she does."

Xue Mei's eyes flickered and she lowered her head.

Liu Changfeng stared at her face for a long time and said, "I know you are not in harmony with each other. I can tolerate you trying to trip each other up, but don't let it affect the overall plan, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Xue Mei was frightened and lowered her head and said, "I dare not. Everything I said is true. Zhuo Miaojin's whereabouts have been very secretive recently. If the master doesn't believe it, you can call her for questioning."

"Alas, Zhuo Miaojin is very smart and has the ability to control the overall situation. Unfortunately, she only wants to restore her broken sect. No matter how you feed her, she will not be tamed. Now that she has found a fellow disciple, I am afraid that she has some small thoughts in her heart. I really don't want to eradicate her." Liu Changfeng shook his head and sighed, as if Zhuo Miaojin was already a dead person.

Xue Mei's face suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she bowed her head and said, "My Lord, Zhuo Miaojin has a double heart, so she can't stay. I am loyal to you and am willing to take over her work and share your worries!"

"Well, although your talent is not as good as Zhuo Miaojin's, your loyalty is commendable. When she gathers the forces she has joined, you will lead them. You are the best at attracting people's attention, and I can rest assured to stay behind the scenes."

As a boss, Liu Changfeng is well versed in the art of controlling people, so he can naturally see through his subordinates' little thoughts.

Xue Mei was delighted and bowed to receive the order: "Thank you for your appreciation, young master. I will definitely not let you down!"

"Well, go down. By the way, notify Xiao Wen and ask her to come back to see me. I have important things to tell you. In addition, go and prepare a new place to live. We can't stay here any longer."

"I will obey my Lord's order."

Xue Mei took the order and left.

...

Xiaoxiang Creek Garden

In the past few days, the manor has gradually become lively, because there are only a few days left before the New Year, Wei Yuxin has started to prepare for the New Year's goods, and she is busy and worried, fearing that too many people will be neglected.

Chu Shiwen has been running around for company matters recently. In order to ensure his safety, the three brothers and sisters of the Wei family have been assigned a bodyguard task and follow Chu Shiwen around all day. Although they are constantly running around, the three have no complaints, but feel that they have gained a lot of knowledge.

A few days before the New Year, all government agencies were on holiday, and Chu Shiwen did not continue to work. He stayed in the manor with Wei Yuxin to direct the younger generation to prepare things for the Spring Festival.

This is the first Spring Festival after their family reunion, which is of extraordinary significance, so they attach great importance to it. In addition, there are such a large group of Liyuan disciples, and the two elders must take good care of them, so as not to make people feel that they are not well entertained.

Everyone was busy, and Chu Yang had no time to rest. Although Wei Yuxin was the host, the disciples of the Pear Garden and the Wei brothers and sisters liked to ask him for instructions no matter how big or small the matter was. Even Wei Zixi would come to ask him questions from time to time and ask him to help pick out some candies and other things.

Chu Yang gave up because he couldn't concentrate on his practice. He had been practicing non-stop for half a year and had made a lot of progress. Now he would just take a few days off.

Fortunately, he could still receive guests and recycle some refining materials in his free time, so he didn't waste time.

Recently, Jiangzhou seemed calm. Chu Yang estimated that Liu Changfeng was also preparing for the Spring Festival, and the fight between the two sides would probably be put off until after the New Year.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Yang received two important calls.

Jiang Weiguo called early in the morning. It was still early for the New Year, so it was not the time to pay New Year's greetings.

After Chu Yang got through, Jiang Weiguo excitedly informed him that he had found out that cultivators frequently disappeared in various places in Jiangnan. According to a rough estimate, there were about 70 to 80 people.

This news shocked Chu Yang. When they speculated on the source of He Jiahao's zombies, they estimated that the total number was about 50 to 60, but they didn't expect that the actual situation was more. If Yuan Luyao hadn't discovered what He Jiahao was doing, there would probably be more people kidnapped by them.

He Jiahao was able to secretly kidnap such a master cultivator, and it was naturally Liu Changfeng who was behind it.

The power in Jiangnan is complicated. If a family has several missing children, they will definitely suspect that they have a grudge against their enemies. They will never think that they were kidnapped by outsiders to make zombies. Besides, this is not a glorious thing. These families will naturally not publicize it. Most of them will choose to investigate secretly. If they can't find out, they can only suffer in silence.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Liu Changfeng has been successful many times and directly kidnapped seventy or eighty Qi Refining masters. This is simply a strange news that shocked the Jiangnan cultivation world. It can be imagined that if this matter is exposed, it will definitely set off a bloody storm.

After discussing with Wei Yuxin and others, Chu Yang decided to let Jiang Weiguo make this matter public.

Of course, it was indeed Liu Changfeng who did it, but if the Jiang family spoke out, it would be very likely to be suspected of framing. After all, the Jiang family has extended its hands to all parts of Jiangnan and has long had grievances with local local snakes. It is normal for people to doubt the authenticity of what the opponent said. If it is not done well, it will backfire and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, Wei Yuxin's suggestion was to let the Jiang family direct and act out a story about their children being abducted, and then spread it widely, saying that they were investigating the truth.

The Jiang family, such a behemoth, would attract enough attention in itself. The news that their children were abducted would surely spread all over Jiangnan very quickly. Since the Jiang family was not afraid of losing face, other families would naturally be even less afraid. They would surely tell about the disappearance of their own family members. After someone counted, each family would be shocked to find that the number of cultivators abducted was as high as 70 or 80. This was definitely explosive news that shook the entire cultivation world!

Of course, this is not enough. When the people are boiling with resentment but have nowhere to vent, they only need to spread rumors that someone has found a group of people of unknown origin in Jiangzhou using cruel means to sacrifice zombies. Then they can easily link the missing practitioners with the zombies. At that time, there will be cultivator families from all over Jiangnan coming to Jiangzhou to find out the truth without the Jiang family adding fuel to the fire. Facing the pressure from the entire cultivation world, even Liu Changfeng, who has been planning for a long time, may have to stay away for the time being and dare not seize the opportunity lightly.

This plan is very beneficial to Chu Yang. After all, Liu Changfeng has been planning for a long time and has recruited many cultivators. If they compete head-on, they are very likely not opponents. But now it is different. Being able to tie the entire Jiangnan cultivation world to the chariot undoubtedly increases Chu Yang's chances of winning.

Compared with this matter, another phone call surprised Chu Yang even more.

The call was from the Wei family, and Wei Yongyuan personally talked to him.

After receiving the call from his grandfather, Chu Yang was very surprised. He thought something had happened in Ruoyexi and asked about the situation.

Wei Yongyuan's tone was relatively calm, but Chu Yang was shocked by the first sentence.

"Last night, we caught a spy who had been lurking in the Wei family for seventeen years!"

Seventeen years!

Chu Yang was stunned. This was the time when the Xie family and the Jiang family were fighting. He didn't expect that there would be a spy lurking in at that time.

Chu Yang asked on the phone: "Grandpa, have you found out the details of this person? Which force sent him?"

"Xie family!"

Wei Yongyuan replied.

"Why is it still Xie family?"

Chu Yang was stunned when he heard this. The last time he was in Ruoyexi, he analyzed that Blind Wei and another lurking spy should not be from the same force, but they had some kind of agreement to cooperate. He didn't expect that both of them were sent by the Xie family.

"Last night, a member of the tribe named Wei Hongchou released an owl, which was caught by the eagle you handed over to Sizhe. There was a bamboo tube tied to its calf, and the content inside was exactly what you did before you left." Wei Yongyuan said.

Chu Yang said proudly: "This guy is so patient that he dared to send a message after so many days. Unfortunately, I had prepared a backup plan long ago. He didn't get caught this time."

"Yes, at first I always thought that this person might not exist. Maybe we were too suspicious. It might be a coincidence that Blind Wei could come in. It was not until now that I was sure that there was another spy hidden in the tribe." Wei Yongyuan said with a wry smile.

Chu Yang urged, "Grandpa, didn't I give you a mouthful of advice? Have you found out his background? Was he under orders to sneak in? Why didn't he cooperate with Blind Wei?"

"I found out."

Wei Yongyuan sighed, "Wei Hongchou didn't sneak in. He is a member of our Wei family."

"Ah?"

Chu Yang was shocked. He sneaked in seventeen years ago. Could it be before the war?
