Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King
Chapter 72
The intelligence provided by Lao Dao showed that one night more than a month ago, a small-scale fierce battle broke out in Liuxi Town. One side of the battle was an elite transcendent, and the other side was a large number of people.
The latter is the local force in Liuxi Town: the Black Wind Gang.
Because the battlefield moved from inside the city to outside the city, many people died on the streets that night. In addition to many members of the Black Wind Gang, there were also a large number of ordinary civilians who were affected.
The next day, Lao Dao found out through his information network that the Black Wind Gang was infiltrated by extraordinary people in the middle of the night, and several prisoners held by them were rescued by the other party.
When the Black Wind Gang reacted, the opponent had already sneaked out of their lair. The Black Wind Gang responded quickly and launched a large-scale pursuit.
After the fierce battle, the Black Wind Gang claimed that all the infiltrators had been killed by them and all the prisoners had been captured.
As a local snake and intelligence dealer, Lao Dao made extensive inquiries and confirmed that the attacker was a transcendent from Jizhou City.
And their purpose of sneaking into the Black Wind Gang was to rescue the intelligence officer secretly stationed in Liuxi Town by the Yan State.
As for why the Black Wind Gang was able to identify the intelligence officers of the Yan State and why they wanted to arrest them, insiders of the Black Wind Gang revealed that the other party was relying on the endorsement of the Yan State government to make money in Liuxi Town. , formed a personal vendetta against them.
"Will the intelligence officers sent by the government to the Land of Chaos really act arrogantly at their workplace?" Su An asked Zhang Yuying.
In his imagination, intelligence agents should keep a low profile.
Zhang Yuying said: "This scoring situation also depends on the person.
"Some intelligence officers will indeed make extra money after work because of their high cultivation and strong combat power, as well as the fact that their area of activity is close to the government's sphere of influence.
"Everyone wants to make money. There's nothing to say about it, but it's basically not to the level of 'dominating others'. As long as the brain is not too stupid, people will act in a systematic way and understand the depth of things."
Su An nodded slightly, indicating that she had raised her posture.
Based on the known information, Zhang Yuying, Fang Nan and others purchased some supporting information from Lao Dao, such as the strength and background of the Black Wind Gang, and the reasons why they arrested the Yan State intelligence personnel.
After all the information was collected, everyone left Lao Dao's house and looked for another place to stay in Liuxi Town.
In order to make Zhang Yuying feel safe, Fang Nan, who had more manpower, gave Zhang Yuying the initiative to choose a place to stay. The latter was not polite and found a hotel he was familiar with to stay.
Coming to a dangerous place to perform a mission, and with only two people on her side, Zhang Yuying would not live separately from Su An, so she booked a double suite.
"Is Lao Dao's information trustworthy? Will he team up with the Black Wind Gang to set up a trap for us, or tip off the other party?" Su An asked Zhang Yuying after entering the door.
Zhang Yuying said: "He just eats this bowl of rice, how can he destroy his own rice bowl?
"It would be fine if we were the only ones to find him. Fang Nan and the others also found him, which shows that he has a reputation that convinces everyone.
"Furthermore, the information he gave us was very common. We could get similar information from other places with some effort. But he didn't even mention things like the weaknesses of the Black Wind Gang."
Su An nodded.
As for why the Black Wind Gang captured the intelligence officer of Yan State, Lao Dao did not provide them with an answer. Either he didn't know, or he knew but couldn't tell.
After a while, Fang Nan and others knocked on the door and came in to discuss the next action with them.
"The Black Wind Gang claimed that they had killed all the extraordinary people from the Qingyun Sect, but in fact Li Qingyun was not dead. This shows that the other party was deliberately hiding something."
Zhang Yuying was the first to speak, "The simplest and most effective way to advance the mission right now is to directly attack the Black Wind Gang and go to their lair to find out the relevant situation."
Her suggestions may seem reckless, but they are actually feasible solutions based on reality.
First of all, although there are dozens of extraordinary people in the Black Wind Gang, most of them are of low levels. The gang leader is at level six, the two deputy gang leaders are at level five, and the rest are below level five.
With the combat power of Zhang Yuying, Fang Nan, Su An and others, and the cooperation of three level five extraordinarys, it is entirely possible to launch a surprise attack and directly control the leader of the Black Wind Gang.
Even if things don't go well, as long as everyone acts well, safe retreat is not a problem.
In any case, their team is much stronger than Li Qingyun and others.
Secondly, Li Qingyun said in the news that he was now controlled by the Black Wind Gang and was locked up in the Black Wind Gang's lair. Although his body was injured and his strength was greatly reduced, he still had the possibility of fighting hard.
By raiding the Black Wind Gang, everyone might be able to rescue Li Qingyun.
Finally, if they are lucky and the intelligence officers are not dead, they may be able to bring them out easily. If so, the task is immediately declared successfully completed.
Even if those intelligence officers died and Li Qingyun could be rescued, the relevant situation would not be difficult to figure out, and the mission would be considered a success.
Of course, Zhang Yuying's suggestion is not without its problems.
Fang Nan pondered and said: "I have two questions.
"First, why did the Black Wind Gang arrest our intelligence officers? Is it really just a personal grudge caused by money?
"If not, then the water in this matter is very deep. It is not just the Black Wind Gang who dares to arrest the people of the Yan Kingdom and go against the Yan Kingdom officials. If we go there rashly, we may be in danger.
"Secondly, Li Qingyun said that he could send the message because he stole the guard's cell phone while he was sleeping, but is that really the truth?
"If Li Qingyun was forced to send the news, then no matter what the other party's intentions are, they must be prepared for our arrival. Everyone may have fallen into a trap in the past!"
Fang Nan's analysis makes sense.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to act on Zhang Yuying's suggestion.
The reason is simple. If no action is taken, all of Fang Nan's concerns cannot be confirmed or falsified.
Now that everyone is here, it is natural to advance the mission. The information that can be obtained has been obtained. Now we cannot do nothing.
Next, the problem can only be solved by force.
Whether it's to knock the mountain and scare the tiger, or to "snatch the snake", you have to at least give it a try.
The time for action was quickly decided: three o'clock in the morning tonight.
Then allocate action tasks.
There were three sixth-level people present, namely Zhang Yuying, Fang Nan, and the delicate-looking young woman named Liu Siyan.
According to common sense, they should take on the most dangerous and arduous tasks while the others wait for cover.
According to Zhang Yuying's plan, the extraordinary person was divided into two parts.
One is the sharp knife team that sneaks into the Black Wind Gang base and performs the task of capturing the thieves first and the king first. The second is the support team that provides cover from behind.
If there is no accident, the support team will enter the field with the sharp knife team; if there is an accident, the support team will cover the sharp knife team to leave the field.
In addition to Su An, there are three level six and three level five in the room. It is reasonable for level six to serve as the sharp knife team and level five to serve as the support team.
But before Zhang Yuying assigned the manpower, Fang Nan named a level [-] transcendent and asked him to follow him and Zhang Yuying into the field, placing Liu Siyan in a support position.
As for Su An...
Before Fang Nan finished speaking, Liu Siyan had already approached Su An, glanced at him contemptuously, and asked lukewarmly: "Are you not stupid?"
Su An didn't like this woman very much: "Speak directly if you have anything to say."
Liu Siyan snorted coldly: "Since you are not stupid, you should know not to show off when it is important. We don't want to be distracted by taking care of the oil bottle during the battle, so you'd better stay in the hotel.
"understand?"
Su An looked Liu Siyan up and down unceremoniously and said bluntly: "I don't think you're that good, are you?"
Liu Siyan glared at Su An fiercely: "I'm not that powerful, I don't need you, a mere fourth-level person, to talk too much!"
After saying that, she snorted again, raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "In any case, I am level [-], and a level [-] capable of releasing the force is countless times more powerful than you.
"I will definitely be able to play a role outside, but it's different for you. Staying in the hotel is the greatest help to us. Do you understand or not?"
Su An chuckled: "Just know that your role is limited."
At this time, Fang Nan finished talking about the team arrangements, turned to Su An and said politely: "Brother Su, this mission is very dangerous. We need to ensure a retreat. Can you meet us at the hotel?"
His words were tactful and he took good care of Su An's feelings. When he was competing with Liu Siyan, Su An didn't say much: "Okay."
Seeing that he was not trying to be aggressive or acting recklessly, Fang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he felt that Su An's combat power far exceeded those of the same realm and he was a teammate who could fight alongside him, but tonight's action was unpredictable, so it would be better to reduce the uncertainty by one point.
"You know what's going on, now I'm starting to take a liking to you." Liu Siyan dropped a mild sarcasm and followed Fang Nan and others away, returning to her room to prepare for the next move.
Zhang Yuying closed the door and turned around to look at Su An curiously: "I heard that little girl was trying to push you, how come you still follow her wishes and stay?"
She knew Su An's strength and character very well, so she didn't wonder why Su An agreed to stay, because he knew that the other party must have his own considerations. What she didn't understand was how Su An could tolerate Liu Siyan.
Su An responded calmly: "Am I going to argue with a fool? That way I don't have to do serious business."
His time and energy are very precious, and the best way to deal with a fool is to stay away.
Besides, he has his own things to do, and he will never change his rational judgment just because of an idiot.
Zhang Yuying gave a thumbs up: "I appreciate how mature you are at such a young age."
After speaking, she watched Su An motionless.
Su An knew that the other party was waiting for him to explain why he accepted Fang Nan's opinion: "There is something suspicious about this matter."
His doubts were naturally not the two points that Fang Nan noticed.
Su An continued: "Intelligence shows that Li Qingyun and others were discovered after rescuing the target intelligence officer and leaving the Black Wind Gang's base.
"They infiltrated, rescued people, and were not discovered on the way out. They were all out of the Black Wind Gang base, but they were noticed by the other party. This makes no sense.
"In addition, when there was already a distance between the two parties, the Black Wind Gang pursued in a hurry, and none of Li Qingyun and others escaped. This is even more unreasonable."
Zhang Yuying was stunned.
She didn't notice or think about this at all before.
Not only her, but Fang Nan and others also didn't react.
"What is your judgment?" Zhang Yuying asked seriously.
"As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I think this incident is likely to have the shadow of the demon clan." Su An speculated.
"So, what's your plan?" Zhang Yuying asked immediately. After the battle with Huang Hai, she was quite confident in Su An's strategizing and planning.
Su An said: "It's very simple. You all act according to the plan, alert the snake to lure it out of its hole, and be ready to retreat at any time.
"And I am hiding on the outside, secretly monitoring everything. If there is any unexpected danger, I will immediately warn you; if there is a monster, I will provide you with real cover!"
The latter is the local force in Liuxi Town: the Black Wind Gang.
Because the battlefield moved from inside the city to outside the city, many people died on the streets that night. In addition to many members of the Black Wind Gang, there were also a large number of ordinary civilians who were affected.
