Chapter 124: Persistence

"No!" Ma Tiefeng didn't raise his head and flatly refused.

As an intelligence worker, the sources of information are still very wide. In the past few years, Mu Tianxiang has fought in the south and the north, although the losses are relatively large, but he has also achieved brilliant results, opening up the territory, and now he is also a prince, and the people around him have also risen, and most of the people have been promoted.

Ma Tiejun's thoughts, Ma Tiefeng can also guess a little, Ma Tiejun was also a regiment commander, the original regiment-level officer, and now as long as the people in the army are alive, they are at least a military commander, not to mention that people like Ma Xiaoke and others are now the decision-makers of the group.

In the past few years, Mr. Mu has also trusted his two brothers very much, asking people to give people, asking for money to give money, it can be said that the money spent is more than enough to arm a group army, and his own intelligence work has been unable to open up the situation for a long time. Ma Tiejun is also very anxious, but Mr. Mu has always warned himself not to be impatient, to be down-to-earth, to lay a solid foundation, not to care about temporary gains and losses, to take a long-term view......

"Why?" said Ma Tiejun angrily.

"The situation in the Ethereal Mountain is too complicated, and our people can't penetrate it until now......" Ma Tiefeng put down the pen in his hand, looked at Ma Tiejun and said: "What we are doing now is intelligence work, which is not the same as the situation of the army, and there is no comparison......

"It's because it's too complicated, so we have to grasp the first-hand information, which is related to the next plan of the pastor, and now Li Muran and they are all waiting for our news...... "As a gentleman, I also have my own pride, seeing that others have made achievements, but I can't open the situation, Ma Tiejun is also anxious, this time contact Mrs. Shangguan, and to encourage Mrs. Shangguan to support him, Ma Tiejun thinks that his opportunity has come."

Speaking of this, Ma Tiefeng was also confused, Shangguan Jin sent three letters in a row, but they all sank into the sea, without a trace of waves. Ma Tiefeng also made preparations for the news leak, and he was facing the pursuit of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, but the Heavenly Imperial Gate did not make any reaction, everything seemed very strange.

Whether Tianyumen is preparing to put a long line to catch big fish or there is something else hidden, Ma Tiefeng can't make a judgment for a while.

"Mrs. Shangguan used to be in retreat in Shangguan City, and there are not many people who have really seen Mrs. Shangguan, and now the entire intelligence network except for you and me, who has been in contact with Mrs. Shangguan before, no one else has ever seen Mrs. Shangguan at all, let alone gained the trust of Mrs. Shangguan...... Ma Tiejun said.

"Shangguancheng is changing, there are hundreds of people in our family, and the ones who survive are you and me, this matter is too risky, I don't want to ......," Ma Tiefeng persuaded.

"It's good that half of the brothers in the army are alive now, and they sacrificed their lives to fight to create the current situation, and our lives are more precious than their gold? And no matter what the final result of this matter is, we must have accurate news, otherwise because our news misled the staff and made a wrong judgment, it will not be one or two people, but hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who will die...... Ma Tiejun argued on the basis of reason.

"Then you should be careful, once you can't do anything, retreat immediately......" Ma Tiefeng finally thought about it and agreed, after all, the matter was too critical, and without first-hand information, he didn't dare to move at all.

"Got it......"

August 15, Ethereal Peak, Stargazing City!

As the station of the Heavenly Imperial Gate Sect, a large city with a population of millions has also been formed at the foot of the Ethereal Peak, the Stargazing City.

Ma Tiejun followed the caravan of Qijiabao a month ago and infiltrated Stargazing City. The big city of millions of people, the business and trade exchanges are very frequent, and Ma Tiejun's identity does not arouse the suspicion of others at all, after all, if he dares to make trouble in the Tianyumen sect, he is looking for death, and no one is so bold and reckless.

The whole city is very prosperous, most of them are ordinary people, but there are also a lot of monks, many disciples wearing the costumes of the Heavenly Royal Gate are unscrupulous in the city, looking at the surrounding people who dare to be angry and dare not speak, laughing loudly, very arrogant, as a disciple of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, although they can't easily kill people in the stargazing city, but no one cares about doing something a little out of the ordinary.

"The person who made the appointment today is coming soon, what else do you need to prepare?" Wang Huan, as one of the few people in the intelligence station who has a foothold in Stargazing City, is the contact person for this matter, and his current identity is the shopkeeper of this restaurant.

"Hopefully it will be useful today. Ma Tiejun retracted his eyes and said. The Ethereal Peak that was close at hand, Ma Tiejun tried his best for a month, spent countless amounts of money, and couldn't enter the mountain gate, let alone see Mrs. Shangguan.

Wang Huan nodded and said, "It should be about the same, this one who came today is Mrs. Shangguan's personal maid, and she always comes down the mountain every month to purchase some things......"

"It's still necessary to be prepared, after all, we have passed on the news several times before, but nothing has come of it......" Ma Tiejun habitually concealed his body in the darkness and said.

"Recently, Tianyumen has been concentrating monks and troops, and there may be some big moves......" As a land snake, Wang Huan's news is still well-informed.

"It is estimated that it is aimed at the mercenary alliance, so we must determine the matter before they act, otherwise we will miss this opportunity, and I don't know ......when we will have to wait" Ma Tiejun knew that Li Muran and others had been stirring up the relationship between the two sides, and now that the two sides were like fire and water, a big war was inevitable.

The two sides exchanged messages with each other and waited for the appointment to come.

......

"Are you looking for me?" At the beginning of tomorrow, the person who had made an appointment came late, and was led into the private room by Wang Huan, and asked unceremoniously.

"Please sit down, sit down first, and then talk about ......" Ma Tiejun quickly stood up and said.

"Tell me quickly, I have to return to the Heavenly Palace......" Ma Tiejun sat in the shadows, and no one came to see Ma Tiejun's face clearly. But I hate this sneaky behavior very much. If he hadn't known that this was Shangguan Jin, he wouldn't have come at all.

"Are you Aunt Chun?" Ma Tiejun stepped out of the shadows and asked uncertainly.

"Who are you, how do you know me?" the visitor was taken aback and carefully observed Ma Tiejun.

"Aunt Chun, I'm Tiejun! Don't you know me?" Ma Tiejun had already determined that the person who came was the four personal maids of Mrs. Shangguan, the spring of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"Tiejun?Elder Ma's son?" Chun also saw Ma Tiejun clearly, as the personal maid of Mrs. Shangguan, she also had a certain amount of contact with the original high-level Shangguan City. Moreover, the Ma Tiejun brothers, as the head of the original Shangguan Cheng gentlemen, are also famous.

"Why are you here?" met an acquaintance, and Chun's expression was no longer rejecting thousands of miles away, and he said a little excitedly.

"The main reason I came this time was to meet Mrs. Shangguan and discuss important matters. Ma Tiejun knew that Chun, as Mrs. Shangguan's personal maid, was still very loyal. So I didn't hide it, and said directly.

"Hey, Miss is basically under house arrest now, and her cultivation has also been restricted, so I guess I can't help you......" Chun, as Mrs. Shangguan's personal maid, also knew that Shangguan Jin had been contacting Miss recently, but Miss didn't reply.

"Miss Shangguan's letter, Madame received it?" asked Ma Tiejun.

"I got it, but the lady didn't do anything. Chun is also very strange about Mrs. Shangguan's behavior, after all, she is her own daughter, and it is a little unreasonable not to reply to the letter.

"Aunt Chun, can you take me to meet Mrs. Shangguan?" Ma Tiejun also wanted to find out the reason.

"Okay, you'll follow me to the Ethereal Peak in a moment. "As Madame Shangguan's personal maid, it is still possible to bring a businessman with a low cultivation.

"But don't put too much hope on you, Miss is also living a very hard life, recently her mother passed away inexplicably, if it weren't for the protection of the four elders of the Heavenly Palace, it is difficult to say whether Miss can survive......" Chun Xu chattered about the recent situation of Mrs. Shangguan.

"Let's see you first!" Ma Tiejun no longer has any illusions about this hope, and Mrs. Shangguan's recent situation is not a secret, Ma Tiejun still knows something.

......

"Are you Tiejun?" Ma Tiejun followed Chun to a side courtyard in the Ethereal Peak and met Mrs. Shangguan.

"Yes," Ma Tiejun bowed, and now Mrs. Shangguan has lost her former vitality, like a soulless zombie, "Miss Shangguan wants to meet you." ”

"I received Jin'er's letter, and it's for your good that there is no reply. At the mention of her daughter, Mrs. Shangguan's empty eyes also fluctuated slightly, but she quickly regained her calm.

"Why?"

"I understand Jin'er's idea of avenging his father and brother, but your understanding of the sect is too shallow, this is simply impossible, except for sending him to death, it has no effect, you go back and let Jin'er leave here incognito, go to another place to live well, don't do meaningless things......" Mrs. Shangguan said flatly.

"It's not without chance, and we're fully prepared. Ma Tiejun also knew through Chun's mouth that Mrs. Shangguan only had hatred for Tianyumen now, but he also suffered from no way to take revenge, after all, the city lord of Shangguan was the husband chosen by Mrs. Shangguan herself, and her feelings were still very deep.

In order to dispel Mrs. Shangguan's concerns, Ma Tiejun talked in detail about what has happened in the past few years, of course, it has expanded a little.

"Mu Tianxiang? is that Jin'er the guard she found herself?" Mrs. Shangguan has been under house arrest for several years, and she doesn't know much about the outside world, and she was also surprised to know this, after all, in just a few years, Mu Tianxiang's achievements have far surpassed the efforts of the Shangguan City Lord for hundreds of years.

"Miss, Miss Shangguan Jin has always missed her mother, let's meet, even if things can't be done, it's always okay to meet, right?" After all, Mrs. Shangguan's heart is like ashes now, and several people are also very anxious.

"Okay, it's not easy for you to come to the Ethereal Peak, in a month, it is the death day of the Shangguan City Lord, I will also go to pay tribute, and we will meet near Shangguan City. Mrs. Shangguan also saw Shangguan Jin very much, and finally relented.

"Madame, can you go out conveniently?" Ma Tiejun was overjoyed.

"I'm a waste now, and it's okay to pay tribute to my deceased husband. Mrs. Shangguan said indifferently.

The two sides agreed on the details of the meeting. Ma Tiejun left in a hurry.
