Chapter 1458

But when had Sun Zhongjun ever seen such a massive organization spanning several nations?

This was the gap in their horizons.

Yet, it did not hinder Sun Zhongjun's near-fanatical worship at this moment.

Her nature belonged to the chaotic evil camp.

Joining the Huashan Sect had actually fettered her nature and limited her talents.

This could be seen from how, upon taking over the unfamiliar "Di Wang" intelligence branch in Yanjingcheng, she had rapidly expanded and permeated the entire city.

Beyond the original intention of diligently trying to perform well in front of Wutian,

it was more because she already possessed such talent.

Sun Zhongjun even secretly developed a portion of "Tian Luo" members in her spare time.

Because the Han people's situation within the Qing Guo borders was not good,

there were often people who were frustrated and longing to get ahead, or those harboring hatred and wanting to avenge deep blood feuds.

However, these people were only peripheral members for now.

After all, Sun Zhongjun did not yet know the "Life-Death Talisman," nor did she have the "Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill," so she could not guarantee these people's loyalty.

Gu Hanyuan had come this time prepared to bestow the "Life-Death Talisman."

Of course, his purpose was not just this.

Sun Zhongjun's excellent performance proved her ability.

The villain points fed back from time to time proved her loyalty.

Being both loyal and capable, Gu Hanyuan had no reason to restrict her further.

"You have done well. You have also gained this seat's trust; therefore, divine arts and divine pills will both be bestowed upon you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhongjun said with ecstatic joy:

"Thank you for the praise, my lord; this subordinate dares not claim credit."

Gu Hanyuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Since this seat has praised you, it means you have done well; there is no need to be humble."

He paused.

After Sun Zhongjun expressed her loyalty again with joy written all over her face, he continued to instruct:

"First, bring the intelligence reports that have been focused on recently. Afterward, I will give you the divine arts and divine pills."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhongjun nimbly brought the intelligence reports for Gu Hanyuan to examine one by one.

The first report made his eyes light up.

Oboi had set out.

Previously, during the process of returning to the capital, Oboi had suddenly stopped on the road.

Externally, he claimed to be inspecting local military preparations.

However, in reality, he had become vigilant toward some of Kangxi's small maneuvers.

Especially the large-scale recruitment of Jianghu experts, which made him suspicious.

Normally, it was a very normal thing for an Emperor to recruit some Jianghu experts.

The main issue was that Kangxi's actions were too urgent.

According to normal circumstances,

even if recruiting Jianghu experts, one should choose those with clean backgrounds.

Especially since they were protecting the safety of a nation's Emperor, it required the other party's loyalty even more.

However, in the process of recruiting Jianghu experts, Kangxi only valued strength, not character, nor did he care about loyalty.

This could not help but make people suspicious of his motives.

The facts were indeed so.

Kangxi's main purpose in recruiting Jianghu experts was to deal with Oboi, not to protect his own safety.

Therefore, strength became the primary selection criterion.

Although members of the Honghua Society had joined the Sticky-Pole Office, they had never been able to get close to Kangxi, and their actions were even restricted.

Oboi subconsciously became vigilant about this, which was why he lingered halfway.

However, following the assassination attempt by the Mu Wang Fu,

Oboi's doubts were mostly dispelled, thinking that Kangxi had established the Sticky-Pole Office to deal with anti-Qing organizations.

In recent years, anti-Qing organizations had become increasingly active, and assassinations occurred from time to time.

Although these assassins could not get close to Kangxi, it was also very difficult for the Imperial Guards to stop them from escaping.

This caused the Imperial Court's face to be severely damaged.

In this world, the Qing Guo was not the unified dynasty of original history.

While Oboi's merits were more outstanding, he was inevitably distracted by external enemies.

So much so that he was unable to do what he wanted regarding internal suppression.

Even the Ming History Case of the Zhuang family was meant to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Unfortunately, his goal was not achieved, and the anti-Qing organizations jumped even more fiercely.

Moreover, in the process of capturing the members of the Mu Wang Fu, the Sticky-Pole Office had also exposed their strength.

At most, they were only experts at the peak of the Acquired Realm.

They were far from Oboi's cultivation at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

Not to mention that Oboi had also cultivated to the realm of Vajra Indestructibility; even ordinary Great Grandmasters could do nothing about him.

Of course, this refers to those at the early or middle stages of the Great Grandmaster Realm.

For example, people like Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan could do nothing about Oboi.

As long as his defense was not broken, they could at most suppress or injure him, but not defeat him.

But once at the late stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm, it was simply a matter of one force overcoming ten.

Internal energy alone could shake Oboi to death.

However, Oboi was almost always in the midst of ten thousand troops; even a peak Great Grandmaster would not dare to easily provoke him.

The only assassination opportunity was when Oboi was in the Imperial Palace.

And the most effective way to deal with him was with a divine weapon.

Yuan Chengzhi kept in mind that the Golden Snake Sword could not be used before Oboi returned to the capital.

Therefore, it was not exposed when capturing the members of the Mu Wang Fu.

The asymmetry of intelligence caused Oboi to relax his vigilance, and the army set out again.

In a few days, they would arrive in Yanjingcheng.

This was naturally good news for Gu Hanyuan.

Although he was living a very fulfilling life in Yanjingcheng, he did not want to waste time waiting.

Oboi's life and death concerned many subsequent plans.

It was not that Gu Hanyuan could not directly kill Oboi in the midst of ten thousand troops.

But his goal was to kill Oboi in full view of everyone.

Coupled with the foreshadowing planted on Kangxi, the Honghua Society, and others, he had to wait for Oboi to arrive in Yanjingcheng before taking action.

Gu Hanyuan was very satisfied with Sun Zhongjun's intelligence work.

The people of the Mu Wang Fu were only captured yesterday morning, and today he could receive intelligence about Oboi's departure.

Clearly, the transmission speed of the "Di Wang" intelligence had improved significantly again.

He was just about to praise Sun Zhongjun.

But he saw Sun Zhongjun kneeling and moving forward with a face full of seductiveness.

In her eyes, besides fanaticism, there was a flame that Gu Hanyuan was quite familiar with.

Clearly, the work of the "Luo Wang" had also accumulated a lot of pressure for her.

Sun Zhongjun nimbly brought out what she was seeking without even using her hands.

She said vaguely:

"My lord, reading intelligence reports is quite exhausting; this subordinate's ability is limited, and I can only use this method to help my lord relax your mind." ===== CHAPTER 1460 =====
