In a mansion on the same street as the Chengshou Mansion in Pengcheng Mansion in Donghai County, the surrounding people know that this is the mansion of the famous Li Dashan people in Pengcheng Mansion. Li Dashan owns thousands of hectares of fertile land in the suburbs of Pengcheng, and is also the major shareholder of the famous silk village - Tianjin Jin Kee in Pengcheng City, and also owns two large medicine stores, and can be regarded as the number one person in the entire Pengcheng Mansion.

There are only three people sitting in the simple and bright but quite hidden council hall, one of whom is the old man who has appeared in the Hanzhong Mansion in Guanxi, of course, he is You Daofang, who is respected as the great master in the Taiping Holy Sect, a man with a desire for power ~ unlimited hope, and the two people sitting on both sides, one is naturally the middle-aged man Xu Wenzhe, who is called the eldest young master, and the other is a few years younger, and the simple gray and white robe wears on him, but his extraordinary demeanor is even more obvious.

"Master, have you had a nice trip?" Both men respectfully saluted the master who was sitting at the top.

"Well, it's quite smooth, this trip has gained a lot, and it has also greatly expanded my horizons." You Daofang had a satisfied smile on his face, "The customs and customs of the northern countries are really very different from ours, and they are somewhat similar to the situation in the northern border areas of our Beiyuan and Yanyun counties. ”

"Master, what is the important thing about you for a few months?"

The young man sitting on the left couldn't help but ask, Shizun has been gone for two or three months, and he has left behind countless major events in the sect, which makes him and his senior brother wonder.

Although Xu Wenzhe, who was known as the eldest young master, did not open his mouth, the look in his eyes obviously wanted to know why his master had spent so much time going to the northern countries at such a critical time.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will naturally know when the time comes. However, I see that in the past few months since I left, you have all handled the affairs of the sect very well, and it seems that my two disciples can completely take charge of themselves. You Daofang had a proud look on his face.

"The master has passed the award, Wen Zhe and the junior brother just handled a few small things according to your opinion." The eldest young master Xu Wenzhe replied modestly, without a trace of arrogance.

"Hmm. Wenzhe, you are becoming more and more mature, and the negotiations with Kaman and Poole are doing well, I wonder how the things they promised are going? You Daofang's face was still very relaxed, but his tone was very cautious.

"Back to Master, the weapons and equipment of the Kamans have begun to be gradually put in place, and I have already arranged for reliable disciples to receive some of them. Due to the tight inspection on the North Plains side, we can only ship in part of it, and all the funds they provide have been paid, and it seems that they value this cooperation very much. Xu Wenzhe replied seriously.

"Hmm, what about their military instructors?" You Daofang attaches more importance to this aspect.

"The personnel sent by the Kamans have all been in place in the last month, a total of about 600 people, and I have arranged them in the three counties of Beiyuan, Yanyun and Kansai, and there are also a small number of them in Heshuo County. The Pooles were fewer, only about three hundred. I discussed it with my junior brother, and it was all arranged in Donghai County. Xu Wenzhe explained, "According to the below, these people are quite high-level, which has helped us a lot to improve the combat effectiveness of our armed forces, but I am still worried about their true intentions, and they have arranged for people from the secret hall to be responsible for monitoring." ”

"Well, well done. It is better to be careful, neither the Kamans nor the Poole are good people. Although there is a mutual need at the moment, there may not be any differences, but when the situation changes in the future, it is difficult to say. You Daofang nodded in agreement with Xu Wenzhe's approach, "But we must require our people to obey them in their study and training, after all, our people lack formal military knowledge and experience." At the moment, we have to rely on them, so we have to improve ourselves in the shortest possible time and eventually be able to completely defeat them. ”

"But Master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve our expected goal in a short period of time." The young man, who had not spoken all this time, finally put forward his opinion.

"Well, I know that, too. It is true that a farmer cannot grow into a soldier overnight, and the riots five years ago have fully demonstrated this problem, without a strong military force, the final outcome can only be failure, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, so I must let us go through the necessary formal training, even if it is necessary to delay the uprising. You Daofang's expression at this time was already stern, and his voice was much lower.

The next two were speechless for a moment.

"By the way, Bailin, how is the matter in the south?" You Daofang set his sights on the young man again.

"Back to Master, there is still some trouble. At the moment, our people have not yet had a direct conflict with the people of Qiankun Dao, and both sides are a little jealous, worried that the conflict will attract the attention of the government, but I think that if it continues to develop in this way, this will also break out sooner or later. The young man replied with some distress, "I have instructed the subordinates not to clash head-on with the other party for the time being, try not to interfere with the well water as much as possible, and put the overall situation first." ”

"Bear with it first, if you don't bear it, you will make a big plan, although Qiankun Dao has some forces in Jiangnan and Wuhu, but it is far from enough to pose too much threat to us, but once we are exposed to the government before we are fully prepared, it may be a catastrophe, and the internal affairs department of the empire is not a group of rice buckets, maybe the local negligence, but at the central level, we must not be underestimated, Gao Panlong is a veteran, we can hide it for a while, we can't hide it for a lifetime, I have a feeling, he has been eyeing us." You Daofang squinted his eyes lightly, looked out of the hall, and said firmly.

"So how do we deal with it?" The young man hurriedly asked.

"We have all reached this point, we can't hide, we can't hide, we can only respond to changes with the same and strengthen our defense. But I think the Empire must be trying to wipe us out, and it will take some energy, maybe we need this time to be enough. You Daofang smiled slightly, and a powerful and incomparable momentum arose as he stood up and carried his hands casually.

Gao Panlong sat in the study with a gloomy expression, and a few pieces of information on the desk made him sleep. These are a few things that have been exchanged for blood and life, and for these things, he has paid more than a dozen lives of his right-hand men for this, and one of them was even chased by the other party to the gate of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion and killed, which is simply unacceptable to him.

Judging from the information he had, the strength of the other side swelled rapidly, and although there was no clear information showing that the other side had a military organization, he was sure that it would be impossible for such a large group to be backed by a military organization. But most of the information he has is half-flawed, and there is no truly detailed system that can fully explain the problem, which according to the custom, it will take a lot of effort to conduct an in-depth investigation, but he is afraid that it may not be able to wait for it to explode.

But reporting to the emperor like this may only get a scolding, there is no evidence, there is no definite thing, everything is speculation, estimation and judgment, how can the emperor be satisfied? Gao Panlong was caught in a dilemma. Even if he can obtain accurate information about a place, he dares to risk criticism and report to His Majesty the Emperor, but looking at the things on the desk, even he is not satisfied, how can he use it as a basis?

Just like I thought about it myself, will these things alone not only not fight snakes, but instead startle the snake so that the enemy can take precautions? This is also a question worth considering, the cautious proposition in Gao Panlong's heart, which has always been steady, finally prevailed, and let the people of the Special Investigation Department get to the bottom of the other party in the shortest possible time, and strive to have reliable and accurate evidence, Gao Panlong finally signed his opinion, but even he himself was doubting whether his prudence this time was right or wrong, maybe only through history to test it.
