Chapter 994

According to He Lingchuan's judgment, Yu Zecheng and his other teammates would likely not choose to meet on Suoding Island, as that was He Lingchuan's territory and the easiest to monitor. Therefore, Dong Rui followed Yu Zecheng's follower onto the boat.

"He wandered around the market for a long time and bought some things; he didn't seem anxious at all."

"Did he discover you?"

Dong Rui shrugged: "I'm not sure."

"The people Yu Zecheng brought have strong cultivation; Zhu Xiuer once sent small spiders to track them, but failed." He Lingchuan pondered. "You likely didn't hide it from him, but he didn't shake you off either; he's very confident."

Dong Rui hummed, a bit unconvinced: "Then he went to the Yellow Fish Tavern; it was as crowded as ever inside."

"If it weren't crowded, he wouldn't go."

"He ordered a bowl of noodles, and I ordered a bowl of noodles. But after eating for a while, I didn't see him talk to a second person." Dong Rui sighed. "At this time, Zhu Xiuer suddenly reminded me through the eyeball spider that there was a familiar face sitting by the window."

How many Beijia people could Zhu Xiuer recognize? "Chased it in the eastern part of Mou?"

"No, the person sitting by the window went to find Wan Song and his nephew on Black Page Island a few days ago. Didn't you put an eyeball spider outside that uncle and nephew's door? It monitored it all."

The person who went to find Wan Song and his nephew appeared in the same tavern as Yu Zecheng's attendant?

"Could the mustache guy's seat see him?"

"Yeah, sitting sideways to him." Dong Rui chuckled. "I just noticed that kid tapping the table with his index finger, tapping with a very rhythmic beat."

"Code." The mustache guy didn't even need to talk directly to the contact person, no wonder he wasn't afraid of Dong Rui tailing him.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiuer's divine ability was heaven-defying.

"The mustache guy took a boat back after finishing his noodles, and I was on the same one again."

"What about the person who tapped the table to pass the message?"

"I didn't follow, otherwise the mustache guy would know I discovered his secret." Dong Rui smiled. "But I sent my little darling, and it followed all the way to the Banrong Inn in Blade Edge Harbor. They stayed in a room by the window, but my demon puppet felt the danger inside and didn't dare to get close."

"How many people?"

"It only found three or four, but that's probably not all. The other side seemed to sense something wrong and disappeared an hour later."

Dong Rui's eyes and ears also lost the trail.

"No matter, Zhu Xiuer's little spies have lost the trail many times too. These Beijia people have ways to hide their tracks; their background isn't so easy to probe." He Lingchuan patted his shoulder. "However, this contact person himself is a major discovery!"

Just as Dong Rui said, Yu Zecheng's subordinate had made contact with the Bailong people.

These two sides originally had nothing to do with each other; what reason could make both sides have a closed-door secret talk? He Lingchuan could guess it with his knees.

"The Bailong people have evil intentions, we only just found out; how are Yu Zecheng and these newcomers also so clear about it?" He Lingchuan's gaze shifted slightly. "It seems someone acted as a go-between for them."

Dong Rui: "You mean..."

"Either Qing Nation or Does Bailie." With Beijia involved, this matter had become chaotic and unclear.

He Lingchuan took a deep breath.

This was his first time clashing with Beijia since he traveled far overseas and took root.

In this battle, he not only had to win, but win beautifully.

Not only win beautifully, but win just right.

Too much, and it wouldn't be good either.

The scale of it was hard to grasp.

The Black Page Island camp sounded the urgent gongs again, *clang clang clang clang*, this time announcing the news of the coming hurricane.

Hearing there were still thirty hours, Wan Song clapped his hands and laughed: "If the hurricane arrives together with the Emperor's Flowing Nectar, it's heaven helping me!"

When two great celestial phenomena arrive together, what they bring to the human world is chaos upon chaos.

The more chaotic Suoding Island was, the better; only then could they fish in troubled waters.

He hadn't been this happy for a long time, but Wanfeng was hesitant to speak.

Two hours later, Ye Qing went to the island to make contact.

Wanfeng looked at him and frowned: "You run here too often; be careful of attracting unnecessary attention."

"We have been mixing with the laborers, not by Lord Yu's side, and haven't met Island Master He, so the Yangshan Archipelago can't see us." Ye Qing asked Wan Song, "You heard the news of the coming hurricane, right? Lord Yu suggests making a move then, whether the Emperor's Flowing Nectar comes or not."

The time for the Emperor's Flowing Nectar to descend was also recently, but no one knew if it would collide with the hurricane.

Wan Song nodded: "That is exactly my intention."

"Then let's discuss the strategy." Ye Qing said, "Does Bailie's ships have already been dispatched. On the day the hurricane arrives, the Golden Route will be at its busiest, and there will certainly be many ships docking at Suoding Island to avoid the wind. Your dozens of ships will mix into the shipping lanes and the ship formation, and won't attract the Yin Serpent's attention."

This hurdle was easy to pass.

"Where do you plan to hide after you get on the island?"

"Two hundred men will just help unload cargo at the dock." Wanfeng dipped his finger in water and drew the terrain of Suoding Island on the ground. "The hurricane will inevitably cause chaos at the dock; no one will notice two hundred extra helpers here, and the authorities only hope the transport capacity is as sufficient as possible. When the uprising starts, use them to control the dock area."

"Where to make a move on He Xiao?"

"Hot Spring Cottage." Wanfeng had already thought it out. "The dock's guard team has the most people and isn't a good place to make a move; Hot Spring Cottage is far from the dock and the quietest, housing high-status guests. Once something happens, Island Master He will inevitably rush over to check."

"Ambushing halfway is best." Ye Qing pointed to the map. "There is only one road from Hot Spring Cottage to the dock, called 'Blue Cloud Road,' and both sides of the road are dense forests; ambushing three or four hundred people is easy."

"Then we must ensure that when the hurricane lands, He Lingchuan will definitely pass through this Blue Cloud Road." Otherwise, wouldn't their ambush be in vain? "We can pre-place explosives at both Hot Spring Cottage and the dock." Wanfeng thought for a moment. "If He Lingchuan is at Hot Spring Cottage, we detonate the explosives at the dock to cause chaos, and he will rush to the dock when he hears the commotion; if he is at the dock or elsewhere, we detonate the explosives at Hot Spring Cottage to make him rush there. In any case, Blue Cloud Road is the only passage in and out of Hot Spring Cottage."

"This way, no matter where He Lingchuan is at that time, he will inevitably pass through Blue Cloud Road." Wan Song nodded. "He will be rushing in a panic, and there won't be many people by his side; we'll intercept and kill him halfway!"

Both sides thought it was feasible.

"Then let's agree on a signal." Ye Qing said again. "Once you engage He Lingchuan, fire a signal arrow into the sky."

The Wan uncle and nephew had no objections, and Wanfeng asked: "What about you?"

"We are responsible for helping you intercept He Lingchuan's reinforcements."

Wanfeng chuckled: "You mean that Earth-Hole Spider Queen?"

Helping them? That sounded nice, but these Beijia people were just aiming to complete their own goals.
