Chapter 477: Qiancheng Gongzi's Calculation

The last City Gate is where Chen Guan is with Shen Yang.

As for Yu Lin and his group, they were originally inside the city, but Su Sheng reassigned them to the City Gate position he had been guarding.

Su Sheng, in Mounted State, moved quickly, circling half a lap outside the city and arriving at the last City Gate.

Chen Guan was momentarily puzzled by Su Sheng's arrival.

But Su Sheng said that perhaps those two brothers were preparing to break out from this City Gate, and Chen Guan began to become alert.

Chen Guan naturally also kept an eye on the activity at the other three City Gates.

After reaching this City Gate, Su Sheng put on the Cloak of Invisibility, entered stealth mode, and concealed himself.

Otherwise, Su Sheng feels that if those two guys saw him at this City Gate, they probably wouldn't come out.

…

Only as time passed.

He waited for about thirty minutes.

The two guys still didn't show up.

Adding Su Sheng's travel time, a good while had already passed.

"Coward?"

Su Sheng was puzzled.

Or perhaps, when he first arrived at this City Gate, they saw him and got scared enough not to show up?

Logically, that shouldn't be the case?

But those two guys were sneaking inside the city, and Yanhuang's forces inside the city didn't spot their traces.

He asked around, and the other three City Gates also reported no activity.

He doesn't know whether they fled or ran to another Main City…

"It's fine, wait a bit longer," Su Sheng thought briefly.

Anyway, they were prepared from the start; today Yanhuang's main task is to deal with these two oddities.

And… even if they really ran to another Main City district, Su Sheng's side isn't without any preparation, right?

…

…

"Hey hey? Gentleman rogue coward?"

"Did the brothers in the city see those two?"

"They wouldn't have run to another Main City, would they?"

"That's cowardly, no gossip to eat, boring."

"Still a master, and that's it?"

"Yanhuang blocks a gate, they coward, yet they are arrogant?"

"Disperse, disperse…"

Almost an hour had passed.

The two gentleman rogues still hadn't shown up.

Originally, some players waiting for gossip began to gradually disperse…

Most people thought those two brothers had fled.

…

On the other side.

At Dawn, the manpower had silently gathered more than half, appearing on a remote map of Baihu Main City.

"The manpower is sufficient, we can start," the Twelve-winged Angel estimated.

"How about it, any movement from Qiancheng Muxue's side?" the Twelve-winged Angel asked right after.

Before the battle, a final enemy intel check.

As for War to Stop War, the Twelve-winged Angel was too lazy to ask; after all, even if they knew about War to Stop War, they'd probably just inform Qiancheng Muxue, so they only needed to know whether Qiancheng Muxue had any movement.

"There is indeed movement…"

"Hmm? Mobilized many people?" the Twelve-winged Angel frowned.

"Misunderstanding, Chairman, I haven't finished. Although Qiancheng Muxue shows movement, it doesn't seem they're coming toward us."

"?"

The Twelve-winged Angel was startled, then recovered: "They went looking for Yanhuang?"

"Seems so."

"Hehe, Yanhuang is a good person," the Twelve-winged Angel grinned.

"Thanks to them drawing attention!"

"Then we should seize this chance and act quickly; if we can successfully take down this boss and trigger the Alliance Decree, I will definitely thank Mo Wen Qianchen properly."

…

…

In reality, the two brothers were at the last City Gate, waiting…

"Are you sure you want to help us? How much longer? You aren't stringing us along, right?"

Shenshiaorengfeng opened a Private Chat with a friend, asking the other side.

Qiancheng Gongzi: "Don't worry, we'll be in position right away, I have no reason to lie to you; we have cooperated before, haven't we?"

That's right…

The two brothers of the Gentleman Rogue Combination suddenly stopped showing up, not because they got scared…

It's because just as they were preparing to break out through the last City Gate, Qiancheng Muxue's Chairman Qiancheng Gongzi suddenly contacted them.

And he directly said he could help them break out.

The two brothers were naturally a bit skeptical; although they are somewhat… "straightforward", they also know very well that their reputation in the gaming circle isn't very good.

But then they thought, perhaps Qiancheng Gongzi needs them to help with a killing.

So the brothers asked Qiancheng Gongzi what they would have to give—payment or… a price.

Before they could finish, Lioumangmiaorenfeng added, "The reward Qiancheng Gongzi gave last time, we've already spent it; we have no money."

However, if Qiancheng Muxue needs them, they can help with a killing.

After all, how could anyone be willing to help them for free?

In the end, Qiancheng Gongzi said he doesn't want money…

He just dislikes Yanhuang and likes to go against Yanhuang.

The enemy of my enemy is a friend; Qiancheng Muxue and Yanhuang are enemies, and now the two brothers are enemies of Yanhuang, so naturally they are friends with Qiancheng Muxue.

The brothers discussed it and it seemed indeed fine.

They also knew about the conflict between Qiancheng Muxue and Yanhuang, and initially the brothers' encounter with Yanhuang was because Qiancheng Gongzi hired them to assassinate Mo Wen Qianchen.

Although the assassination failed, Qiancheng Gongzi still gave them some reward.

Later, the second assassination was simply because they happened to run into it; the brothers recalled the first failed attempt and wanted to try again.

It still failed…

As for yesterday's incident.

It was simply that the two of them were fighting over who would be the older brother, quarrelling fiercely, and the argument dragged in Yanhuang.

Because during the last assassination, they had agreed that whoever could kill Mo Wen Qianchen would become the older brother.

Both failed.

They realized that the two of them were no match for Mo Wen Qianchen.

So they changed tactics, competing to kill Yanhuang's people.

Whoever killed more would be the older brother, and thus yesterday's incident happened.

Consequently, the two brothers agreed to Qiancheng Muxue's assistance.

They're not showing up now because they're waiting for Qiancheng Muxue's people to mobilize manpower.

…

As for Qiancheng Gongzi's side, he naturally doesn't intend to face Yanhuang head‑on; it's not worth it.

But Qiancheng Gongzi also gets irritated seeing Yanhuang flaunting his power here…

So he thought of a plan.

Instead of confronting Yanhuang's people directly, he sends members of the Assassin Guild to help the Gentleman Rogue Combination break out.

Anyway, it's fine as long as Yanhuang's people don't get what they want; any act that makes Yanhuang uncomfortable, Qiancheng Gongzi is happy to do.

Moreover, by only dispatching the Assassin Guild, he doesn't waste his own energy, avoids direct clash with Yanhuang, can disgust Yanhuang's people, and also makes the Gentleman Rogue Combination owe him a favor.

Ugh…

No, the last point doesn't count.

Those two guys have such odd mindsets; they might not even remember the favor they owe.

But it's not a big problem… as long as they can disgust Yanhuang.
