Chapter 21: Breaking the Bottom Line

When Chang Lin and Jiang Yitian came to Chang Lin's house, they found that Cole was already in the house. He sat on the sofa with his back to light, his hands crossed on his chin, and looked at them with a gloomy face: "You know you are in big trouble, right? If you had listened to my advice a few days earlier, we would have had more time to prepare." ”

Jiang Yitian couldn't care about his unreasonableness and asked, "What do you know?"

Cole said, "I don't know much less than you do, I have two bad news here. ”

Chang Lin said: "Let's hear it." ”

"The first is naturally my former subordinate, poor Hall, who was caught by Peng Ziyi. Maybe you don't know, Hall is not his real name, his real name is Hawke, Minister Jiang has an impression, right?" Cole looked at him with a smirk.

"Hawke?"

"Two years ago...... , Lorenzo started a slave riot, when Minister Jiang personally participated in the arrest, but was put on a position by a storekeeper and fainted, and the storekeeper has never been caught, do you remember?"

Jiang Yitian's eyes widened and he asked, "You mean that the guy who put us down with poison didn't die, and he changed his name and started a business with us?"

Cole nodded: "That's him, he cut his face with an arrow to avoid being recognized, and then he me with a mask." This is a man who can do anything to survive. Don't talk about confessing to you, as long as Peng Ziyi can give him conditions, there is no problem for him to make up stories to frame you. ”

"Damn!" Jiang Yitian scolded in a low voice.

"We already know how bad this is, what is the other bad news you said?" Chang Lin asked.

Cole's tone became a little heavy, "The other thing isn't a problem for your entire group, but it's bad for both of you.

I got the news that there is an outbreak of plague in Heimu Pass. The Empire wasn't sure what kind of plague it was, but from what I'd heard, it looked like the Blackwater Sickness that had broken out in Greenwood.

His Majesty the Emperor is in big trouble. After the news reached me, Kuroki Pass was locked down.

I learned from other sources that it was probably Luo Ling, Li Tianrui and Wang Jiyuan who were engaged in this matter. Before the outbreak of the plague, Luo Ling and Li Tianrui went to Suero and participated in a secret operation. While my men can't figure out what that operation was, I guess they were putting the plague on it. ”

Jiang Yitian said: "If this is true, it is just bad news from your imperial people, what does it have to do with us? We should even applaud, shouldn't we?"

Cole sneered: "Although there is no direct loss to you, and it has even weakened the power of the empire, this incident has also ruined your previous plan to suppress Xiao Chen and support your own people. Now Suero's heroes are Wang Jiyuan, Luo Ling and Li Tianrui. I'm guessing they won't release the details of their operation, or admit that they created the plague, but anyone with a little brain can see the connection.

And those who have the power of the committee members will definitely know more details than the average person, and maybe there will be a lot of people who appreciate what they do, how do you think that will affect your position in the committee?

Do you think it's a great feat to wipe out an army that threatens you with a plague and to free you from the armies of the Imperials?

As for the people you arranged, they can only watch from the sidelines. Chairman Chang, it is a pity that the opportunity you were counting on for a comeback has just disappeared. ”

Chang Lin said: "It's really a bad thing, but that's why I invited you to come." I didn't want to consider your previous proposal. Because this has crossed my line too much. But to this day...... I found that everything around me was forcing me to give up on the bottom line I had worked so hard to hold onto, and I found that my options were limited. ”

"I'm a spy and a mercenary, so I don't think about it, as long as I can achieve my goal. President Chang, I am not here to make choices for you, but to assist you in your actions. As long as...... Just make up your mind. ”

"I figured it out. When Chang Lin said this, he gave people a very difficult feeling, "Do!"

"No problem! I have enough people here, all of them are masters of the Black Guard, all you need is to choose a time and place, organize a meeting, and then invite all the people who should be invited to the scene, and your people should cooperate with the outside to assist, and my people will complete the task cleanly. Cole said.

"Let's take Xiao Chen's incident as an opportunity, I believe that with the discussion of his detention situation as a reason, both Guo Qian and Peng Ziyi will be present. Some other members who are close to them will also come to express their support. This kind of meeting is not particularly grand, and there will not be much defense, so you just need to focus on dealing with those committee members who have cultivated themselves. But again, the members who support my side will be there, and these people can't be hurt. Do you have a way to tell those people to tell the difference between friend and foe in the event of a raid?"

Cole said: "This is not difficult, as long as you have a mark on your person, then my people will be able to recognize it." For example, you can ask them to wear red all day. My people avoid clothes as long as they see that the color of their pants is eligible. You don't even have to tell them what's going to happen, just leave it to my people. ”

Chang Lin said: "You have a point, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, if they know in advance that there will be an attack, it is difficult not to show flaws." Once there is a flaw, it may affect the subsequent plan. ”

Cole finally got up from the sofa, he leaned over to Chang Lin who was standing opposite, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Yes, you still need to solve a problem, which is to let our people sneak into the venue."

How about having my people act as envoys from the Empire, so that they would all have enough reason to enter the venue, and be a little secretive and not arouse too much suspicion. ”

Chang Lin was silent for a while, which made the atmosphere in the room even more depressing. Eventually, though, he said, "Okay." Just do it. ”

"Good!"

Chang Lin said again: "But I also have a request. At the same time as I am in the conference room, you can arrange a few more men for me to go to the mage prison and kill the two prisoners there. ”

"Chairman Chang, do you want to kill Xiao Chen and Tang Feng directly?"

"Well, we just used them to delay time, but the operation in the conference room was successful, and the existence of the two of them was unnecessary. There's no need to have anything, so there's no need to be an eyesore. ”
