"Mr. Qian, Captain Fang asked his subordinates to come and report to Mr. Qian. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Shen Yan's past was not disliked by Gao Yong and others, but made their friendship stronger, which may be an unexpected fruit of Shen Yan, several people glanced at each other, and then laughed unbridledly, as if they wanted to say goodbye to the past, just when the atmosphere was harmonious, a soldier of the special operations squad in a strong suit, with vigorous steps, walked up to Shen Yan with a respectful expression, and said softly.

"Oh, what news did Fang Butong find?" Shen Yan signaled that the soldier did not need to be restrained, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Back to Mr. Qian, there is not a single White Lotus Sect bandit in Lingnan County." At first, Fang Butong and the others didn't believe what they had discovered, but after several confirmations, Fang Butong and the others finally determined that there was no White Lotus Sect bandit in Lingnan County, so the soldier finally said affirmatively.

"What? There are no thieves in Lingnan, what's going on? Hearing the soldier's report, a strong doubt appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, according to reason, this is an impossible situation, how could the White Lotus Sect give up Lingnan as a springboard to attack Jinling?

Although Lingnan is only a county under the rule of Wuzhou Prefecture, Lingnan is the largest granary of Wuzhou Prefecture and a major springboard for attacking Jinling.

Moreover, in addition to the largest foundation of the granary, there is also a large amount of iron ore in Lingnan, which is the foundation of forging weapons, and in addition, there are a large number of squires and large households, which can affect the direction of local government decrees. As the leader of the White Lotus Sect, his vision should not be so narrow, and he should have an overall plan in his heart.

But the reality is that there is not a single White Lotus Sect bandit in Lingnan County, what is going on?

"Mr. Qian, is it possible that the White Lotus Sect still doesn't know the importance of Lingnan? That's why troops were not stationed in Lingnan. The doubts that flashed in Ding Sanlin's eyes were no less than Shen Yan's, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and said tentatively.

"If I am the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect, it is impossible not to have this strategic vision, there is no White Lotus Sect in Lingnan at the moment, there are only three possibilities, the first is that their vision is only limited to most areas of Huaibei County, and they don't want to be so tough with the imperial court for the time being, and they don't want to attack Jinling; The second possibility is that their internal opinions are not unified, so no one is in charge of Lingnan's affairs for the time being, so there is a situation that Fang Butong inquired about; The third is that they want to solve Lingnan peacefully, one is to obtain the support of the local squires and big families in Lingnan, and the other is that they don't want to attract too much attention from the imperial court, so that they can smoothly transition. Hearing Ding Sanlin's inquiry, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, although he didn't know the White Lotus Sect's overall calculations very well, but he had seen too many books, movies and television in this area, so he drew inferences from each other.

Since ancient times, anyone who dares to raise the flag to rebel is either forced by life and can no longer survive, so they will take risks. Either they have hills and valleys in their chests, but they have not been able to wait for Bole's appreciation, and finally they are lured by the astray path and stumble. Either they are as carefully deployed as the White Lotus Sect, wanting to seek greater benefits and gains from the existing regime.

The White Lotus Sect has not done anything once or twice, although it has been destroyed by the imperial court every time, but after a period of recuperation, the White Lotus Sect will resurge, so as the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect, it is definitely carefully deployed, rather than rushing into trouble.

"Where's Fang Butong? Why didn't he come? A flash of light flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, but he didn't grasp the core thing, so he asked casually with a frown.

"Back to Mr. Qian, Captain Fang felt that the situation in Lingnan was a little weird, so he was not at ease, so he led the other brothers to find out more effective information, and at the same time, Captain Fang also planned to cross Lingnan to investigate the situation around Lingnan." Hearing Shen Yan's inquiry, the soldier replied respectfully.

"Are there thieves around Lingnan?" This question seems to be very arbitrary, but if there are White Lotus Sect bandits deployed around Lingnan, and there is no thief in Lingnan, then there can only be one situation, the White Lotus Sect has deployed a large net in Lingnan, waiting for itself or the imperial army to take the initiative to drill in, and the White Lotus Sect sees the opportunity to close the net and wipe out itself or other armies of the imperial court.

"At present, no more effective information has been found, but the captain said that as long as there is a situation, he will send someone to report to Mr. Qian as soon as possible for Mr. Qian to choose." The soldier knew where Shen Yan was worried, and this was also Fang Butong's worry, so when he heard Shen Yan's inquiry, he replied very quickly.

"Well, I hope this is not a trap, otherwise, there are masters in the White Lotus Sect." Shen Yan nodded lightly, a hint of expectation and a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

"Mr. Qian, what should we do next?" There was also a hint of worry in Ding Sanlin's eyes.

"The current situation is unknown, if you rush into the city, I am afraid that there is a trap carefully deployed by the White Lotus Sect in front of you, but if you don't enter the city, you may miss an important opportunity." Shen Yan did not directly answer Ding Sanlin's question, and his mind was constantly circling with various possibilities and countermeasures.

"Brother Shen, why don't I go into the city and inquire again?" Gao Yong stood aside, saw a trace of hesitation in Shen Yan's eyes, and asked.

"No, if there are really no White Lotus Sect bandits in Lingnan County, even if you go in a few more times, it's useless, and now the question is whether there is any mystery behind the thieves in Lingnan." Shen Yan shook his hand lightly, signaling Gao Yong not to act rashly.

"For today's plan, we only have to wait, one is to wait for Pei Xiangdong and the others to arrive, and the other is to wait for Fang Butong to bring more effective information." Shen Yan knew in his heart that if he rashly entered the city under the premise that the situation was unknown, the risk would be too great. This is not to say that Shen Yan is afraid, but that Shen Yan must consider how to obtain the maximum fruit at the minimum cost, rather than being a person who is casual and willful.

What Shen Yan is most worried about now is that the White Lotus Sect has deployed a big net in Lingnan, if this is the case, can the little force in his hand set off a little wave, can he withdraw perfectly, if he wastes his troops here, Shen Yan is a little unwilling, or Shen Yan's goal is not here, this is just Shen Yan as the starting point.

I finally won such an opportunity, and it is impossible to withdraw rashly because the situation is unknown, so it is better to rush into the city?

If Lingnan is really a big net, how should I choose? A deep contemplation appeared in Shen Yan's eyes.
