Chapter 884: The Action
September 25, 2017
In Bohai County, Jizhou, there was a secluded little courtyard within a carpenter's workshop. This courtyard was specially built to house a Master-level talent acquired through the 'Yue Dan Ping' rewards. Inside, lived a Master-level carpenter.
Master-level talents, before the 'Yue Dan Ping', were extremely rare. Lu Hai Kong possessed one, and other places hardly had any. However, everyone knew the value of such talents, so they were handled with utmost care and protected.
While fulfilling their needs to the best of his ability, he also ensured their safety.
This little courtyard, though aesthetically pleasing, was heavily guarded. Yuan Hong had arranged for numerous defensive measures, and any unknown individual approaching would be stopped before even entering the courtyard.
However, such defenses were insignificant to top-tier assassins.
Especially now that Yuan Hong had gathered his elite forces to confront Dong, these defenses were laughable to the Di Shi.
Ugly, leading a group of new Di Shi members, effortlessly penetrated the defenses and silently entered the courtyard. At that moment, the Master-level carpenter was asleep within.
Everything went smoothly, but just as Ugly was about to capture the Master-level carpenter, a sharp cry escaped his lips.
With a flash of his body, he vanished from the courtyard.
Ugly was stunned for a moment, not fully processing the situation. Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the Master-level carpenter, and numerous soldiers with crossbows surrounded them...
...
In Beihai County, Bohai County, Kong Qing, the county governor, led a group of elite soldiers and left for Luoyang after receiving Yuan Hong's 'Tao Dong' decree.
Beihai County was governed by Kong Qing's clan, the renowned Kong Rong.
Of course, for the Di Shi who came to steal the talent, who governed this place was irrelevant. All they needed to do was secure the Master-level talent.
Compared to Yuan Hong, Kong Qing's talent acquisition was slightly inferior. He acquired a Master-level tailor.
While carpenters could participate in architecture and design various siege weapons, a tailor's contributions to military and civilian construction were limited.
However, Kong Qing couldn't deny the beauty of the Master-level tailor.
Upon seeing her, Kong Qing was immediately smitten. He provided her with excellent treatment and sent guards to protect her.
Unfortunately, Kong Qing didn't have the luck to win her heart.
The day after the tailor arrived, Yuan Hong issued the 'Tao Dong' decree, leaving Kong Qing with no choice but to form an alliance.
Kong Qing had hoped to win the tailor's heart after the alliance, but unfortunately, the guards he assigned were no match for the Di Shi. The Master-level tailor was easily taken by the Di Shi.
In a remote mountain area outside Beihai County, Ugly raised the tailor's exquisite chin, a chilling smile on his lips. Behind Ugly stood Hai, a new member of the Di Shi, along with several veteran members.
"I didn't expect this Master-level tailor to be such a gem. It's a shame that in this world, such a woman can only be treated as goods to be fought over."
As Ugly spoke, he turned to address someone: "What? The person you want is right before you, and you're not going to make a move?"
At Ugly's words, the group in the darkness was startled. They were shocked to find that Ugly had already raised a token.
"If you're not going to act, then we'll have to leave."
As Ugly spoke, he revealed the token in his hand. Simultaneously, a large number of Beihai County soldiers surrounded them...
...
In Hedong County, Sili Xiaobu, there was a colossal entity that controlled every aspect of the county. This entity was none other than the Hedong Wei family, the undisputed ruler of Hedong County.
Several years ago, the Wei family, despite its grandeur, was not as influential as it is today. At that time, the Wei family was a traditional aristocratic clan.
Although they occasionally bullied and oppressed the commoners, seizing their lands, they still maintained a relatively low profile, at least compared to other aristocratic families.
However, a few years ago, a remarkable individual appeared within the Wei family, and as soon as this person took control, the Wei family's development began to change.
They started to involve themselves in businesses that were not originally considered prestigious, and they genuinely started to assign their people to Hedong County. They began to truly control Hedong County.
For a family to become so aggressive and wealthy from being relatively low-key, there must be an extremely ambitious and aggressive leader, and it is evident that Wei Jun is such a person.
This individual, who appeared in the 'Yue Dan Ping' forum, is now the helmsman of the Wei family and, at the same time, a genuine Outsider.
Over the years, the Wei family has developed significantly under Wei Jun's leadership, although their territory has not expanded due to its location, their business has flourished, and they are always eager to get involved in profitable ventures.
Regarding the version from 6 to 9, it's a must-read!
Lu Hai Kong's original livestock business, their weapon trade, they've done it all.
After a few years of cooperation and some pleasant and unpleasant experiences, they didn't take those minor issues to heart.
However, as the 'Zhudong' plot begins, the curtain gradually rises on the struggle for hegemony among the feudal lords. For Lu Hai Kong, a powerful neighbor, the Wei family starts to show some signs of alertness in the southern counties of Bingzhou, and they begin to make some small moves in each of those counties.
But their series of actions did not attract Lu Hai Kong's attention; instead, it caught the attention of the Earth Branch.
According to the Earth Branch's intelligence, Wei Jun obtained a master-level talent in the 'Yue Dan Ping' forum, and that person is a master-level blacksmith.
A blacksmith of this caliber is almost as valuable as a divine weapon for a powerful clan.
Therefore, after obtaining this master-level blacksmith, Wei Jun carefully guarded him, fearing someone might snatch him away.
However, as the saying goes, there are always thieves, and there are always those who guard against thieves.
Wei Jun's protection of the master-level blacksmith was meticulous, but there were moments of negligence, especially since someone had their eyes on him from the start.
Regarding Wei family's infiltration, they were extremely skilled, and regarding their defense, they were well-informed about the location of the master-level blacksmith.
Upon entering the Wei family, they took less than two hours to locate and secure the master-level blacksmith without alerting anyone.
"Thank you for your hard work." The person bowed respectfully upon seeing Wei Jun.
Wei Jun casually placed the master-level blacksmith to the side: "It's not a big deal, just a little field trip. By the way, how are Lu Hai Kong's people doing?"
"We've taken care of them, just as you predicted. They wanted to play the game of the yellow sparrow behind the curtain and snatch the blacksmith from us, but they didn't expect us to be prepared. As soon as they showed up, we easily captured them," the person said with a light smile.
"Lu Hai Kong is a bit too greedy. If he only wanted one master-level figure, we could have given him one, as long as he honestly helped us cover up the matter. But he actually wanted to take all three master-level figures, that's a bit too much. It's like he's asking for trouble, and we'll give him a taste of his own medicine,"
Wei Jun was quite satisfied with his actions, as opportunities to play Lu Hai Kong like a puppet were rare.
"Alright, first, let's deal with Lu Hai Kong's people. Remember to be polite to these masters; they are money trees, so don't offend them."
"Yes!" The person nodded and was about to take the master-level blacksmith away when he suddenly paused.
Because at this moment, a chillingly cold air rushed in, accompanied by a thick, bloody, and oppressive aura...
