Chapter 290: Defeat without saying anything
Liu Tingfeng, who was hiding in the tree, was very surprised, the Eastern Qin Kingdom would actually let someone from the Dongfang family do this, and he didn't expect that it would be Dongfang Shaohong and Dongfang Lanzhu.
As a martial arts family, the Dongfang family has never been directly involved in state affairs, at least not blatantly, but now, they not only participated, but they also came directly to Yunyu Country, looking at this mysterious and mysterious appearance, the transaction should be a state secret.
After following Mu Qianmei for so long, Liu Tingfeng also knew that between countries and gangs, there has always been open and secret fighting, and it is very normal to steal all kinds of secret information from each other.
But knowing is knowing, and really seeing, this is the first time.
I didn't expect to come out for a walk tonight, and I saw such a scene so coincidentally.
Liu Tingfeng was hesitating, he wanted to make a move now.
He just estimated that if he attacked with all his strength, none of the four people present would be able to escape, and Dongfang Shaohong could still fight with him before, but since he broke through the fifth sword of the Suifeng Sword Technique, he had already left the other party far behind.
After several years of experience in the rivers and lakes, Liu Tingfeng is no longer the person who acted impulsively when he encountered things, he knew that the more important the matter, the more he needed to think twice.
So, he was thinking, if Mu Qianmei was here, how would she deal with this situation?
Mu Qianmei has always been far-sighted in her work, and she can often turn some situations that are unfavorable to herself into things that are beneficial to her through some means and schemes, and she is unaware.
Just like the secret operation of the Southern Tang Kingdom to assassinate Mu Qianmei, although Mu Qianmei had already seen through it, she did not immediately break it, nor did she immediately launch a retaliatory action, but planned and waited for the best time to counter-assassinate.
Get the most out of the least cost.
This is the most accustomed way of thinking when Mu Qianmei encounters all problems, she rarely has a fierce conflict with someone on the spot, and many things are slowly planned.
Choosing the most appropriate time to deal with the right things often results with half the effort, with the least effort and the most profit.
Thinking of this, Liu Tingfeng decided not to startle the snake first, but to continue to wait and see how the situation develops, and then see if he can find more people.
Hearing Dongfang Shaohong's question, Zhu Dongqiang immediately took out a large brown paper envelope from his arms, which looked bulging, and it could be seen that there were a lot of things inside.
He handed it over with both hands and handed it to Dongfang Shaohong, and said with a somewhat flattering tone on his face:
"The things that the young master has explained have been done, and all the information is here, please take a look at the young master."
With a completely pleasing dog slave face, Dongfang Shaohong took the envelope with a smile and said casually:
"You have worked hard, in Yuehua City, there will be unexpected dangers at any time, you must be careful, and you must not have any carelessness!"
"We will remember your merits one by one, and when we are rewarded for your merits in the future, we will not lose any of your merits."
Zhu Dongqiang immediately bowed and thanked:
"Thank you for your concern and appreciation, we will do our best to do all the things arranged by the young master."
Seeing this face, Dongfang Lanzhu couldn't help but show an expression of disgust and disdain on her face, and she didn't know how to restrain and hide it at all.
And standing Zhu Dongqiang
Yun Susu beside her had a calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant, neither deliberately flattering, nor deliberately distant, she saluted in a proper manner when it was time to salute, she did not speak, and no one could see her inner thoughts.
After the handover, Dongfang Shaohong said softly:
"Okay, it's not too early, we're going to leave before dawn, you take care of yourself, and I'll inform you of the trading location next time."
With that, he and Dongfang Lanzhu turned around and prepared to leave.
Zhu Dongqiang and Yun Susu lowered their heads together and said respectfully:
"Congratulations to the young master and young lady!"
Dongfang Shaohong and Dongfang Lanzhu had already gotten up and leaped away, and soon disappeared into the hazy moonlight in the distance.
On the top of the mountain, two figures, a man and a woman, stood quietly, looking at the place where the figures disappeared, and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, Zhu Dongqiang withdrew the flattering smile on his face, and said in a somewhat helpless tone:
"Su Su, I know you can't get used to me like this, but the situation is like this, we have to ask for people, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and after the unification of the Yugu Continent, we can also become people on the people, at that time, the people who hold their heads high are us."
When he said the last two sentences, his tone was full of desire for success and longing for the future, and his eyes seemed to radiate a confident light.
Yun Susu replied lightly:
"Dongfang Shaohong's expression is very hypocritical, his smile is fake, and he is completely perfunctory to us, Dongfang Lanzhu's expression and eyes are full of disgust and contempt for us, do you really believe that they can bring us glory and wealth?"
Zhu Dongqiang seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and the enthusiasm that had just risen was instantly extinguished.
He said with a little embarrassment:
"Their status is actually similar to ours, they are just messengers, as long as they can send the information over, our credit will not be less, and the person who really judges the credit is not them, so they can't decide our fate."
Yun Susu still said coldly:
"Since their status is the same as ours, they are all just messengers, why do we salute them and call them young masters and young ladies?"
Zhu Dongqiang glanced at Yun Susu in surprise and asked rhetorically:
"Don't you know that they are the young master and young lady of the Oriental family? We are just businessmen, they are a martial arts family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and they can kill us with any move of their mouths, can we be disrespectful to them? ”
Yun Susu said with some interest:
"We run our restaurant in a down-to-earth manner, how good is it to live a safe and stable life, why bother to suffer this idleness, we are already over the age of confusion, and come to see them look high, high-spirited, what do we want?"
Zhu Dongqiang said firmly:
"The picture is that one day we can become famous, soaring, what do women know, men are to be able to bend and stretch, is the real man, today our status is not as high as theirs, so we have to talk to them in a low voice, if one day our status surpasses them, at that time, they will grovel to us."
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, there will always be a day when we will come out."
Yun Susu asked rhetorically:
"And what if we fail? If one day we are accidentally exposed, what will happen to us? Betraying state secrets, this is a capital crime, when the time comes, will we come back from the Eastern Qin Kingdom? Will this man from the Oriental family save us? ”
Zhu Dongqiang replied as if evasively:
"How can you just start without saying anything? Believe me, there will never be that day. ”
"As long as we're careful all the time, who knows what we're doing? What's more, except for the restaurant where we are still operating normally, haven't we exchanged all other things for gold coins? As long as we find the slightest disturbance, we will flee immediately, and the Eastern Qin Kingdom will also send someone to meet us. ”
Yun Susu was still about to speak, but Zhu Dongqiang hurriedly spoke:
"Alright, alright, let's go back and talk slowly, it's almost dawn now, and no one can find any anomalies about us."
Yun Susu's lips moved, and after all, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, turned into a deep sigh, and then followed Zhu Dongqiang, both flew away, and left the top of the mountain.
Liu Tingfeng listened carefully for a while, and found that there was no sound of anyone nearby, so he jumped down the branch and came to the stone where he had meditated before.
He was dressed in white and stood alone on the top of the West Mountain, feeling a little bit of independence.
The moonlight, which had been hazy, suddenly became even darker, and it seemed that the sky was about to dawn.
I wanted to see the sunrise, when I was in Wujian Mountain before, one of Liu Tingfeng's favorite things was to face the rising sun and practice swords on the mountain, every time I saw the spectacular scene of sunrise in the east, I would be inexplicably passionate and pleasantly surprised.
He likes to watch the sunrise and sunset, and every day the sun rises, it will usher in a new day, and every time the sun sets, it will send away the day's scenery.
Rising in the east and setting in the west, day after day, in his monotonous life, sunrise and sunset are the two best times.
There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and he often doesn't remember what year and month that day it is, but every time the sun and moon change, he also faintly found some rules, the lack of full moon every month, and the sunrise and sunset every day are the best witnesses of his growth.
If he hadn't seen the transaction just now, he planned to wait until he watched the sunrise and practiced his swordsmanship in the morning glow before going back.
Anyway, almost everyone in the palace knows him, and it is very convenient to go in and out during the day, he lives alone in a small building, and no one will pay attention to when he goes out.
However, after witnessing the transaction just now, he couldn't let people know that he had been here, and he had to follow Zhu Dongqiang and Yun Susu to see where they lived and what kind of restaurant they opened.
Although they have been walking for a while, with their shallow light speed, Liu Tingfeng does not have to worry about not being able to catch up at all.
His eyesight and ear power are very keen, and his light skills are too much higher than those two, so he is not in a hurry at all.
After looking at the direction, Liu Tingfeng seemed to float away like a leisurely stroll, but this seemingly slow speed was ten zhang away in the blink of an eye, which was an illusion of extreme speed.
When he walked out of the woods in the West Mountain, he just caught up with Zhu Dongqiang and Yun Susu, who hurriedly walked into Yuehua City.
He paused slightly, hid his figure in a shadowed place, watched them walk away, and quietly continued to follow.
