Chapter 263 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind(1/2)
After Liusha discussed the countermeasures, Zinu came to the mansion the next day to inform Han Fei of her opinion.
Cheng Yu was not too surprised by Han Fei's choice. If Han Fei agreed, then he would no longer be Han Fei.
Unless he reaches a dead end, Han Fei may violate his own ideals, and it is not certain.
Han Fei seems easy-going, but he is stubborn to the core on certain things.
The reason why I put forward such an opinion is, firstly, to take precautions, and secondly, to show my attitude of trying my best to support.
Even though he was unwilling to take action, Cheng Xi was happy to have his leisure time. Every day he would either go to the palace to meet Madam Mingzhu, or go out to the city to play with Yan Lingji. He lived a very comfortable life.
Now Tianze and his gang have temporarily gone into hiding and have not continued to cause trouble.
The news is too tight, and the things Tianze and his gang have done one after another are so big that all forces in South Korea regard Tianze and his gang as a thorn in their flesh.
Once they come out to cause trouble, all the forces in South Korea will attack with all their strength. If the contradictions are unanimously outward, how can all the parties in South Korea fight within themselves?
As long as Tianze does not come out to cause trouble immediately, even if all forces in South Korea are wary of Tianze and his group, internal fighting will still be inevitable.
Not to mention that South Korea has not yet been destroyed. Throughout the ages, even when the country is already in the process of destruction, internal fighting cannot stop.
Not to mention, this is the case with the Zhao State. In order to maintain his own power, the God of War Guo Kai directly destroyed the Zhao State's last hope, Li Mu, regardless of the consequences.
Villains usually have a very short-sighted vision and only care about their own interests and cannot see long-term and fundamental interests.
Less than half a month after Tianze and his gang disappeared, they took action at night, and a drought suddenly appeared in Nanyang.
This drought was man-made at night for two purposes.
The first and most important purpose is to control the lifeline of South Korea's food.
South Korea's territory has been encroached by powerful enemies around it, especially the Qin State, and there is not much left. Nanyang is South Korea's largest granary.
There is a food problem in Nanyang. Without external help, the whole of South Korea will be affected to some extent.
Secondly, it also means to invite you into the urn.
After many battles with Han Fei, Ye Mu has a certain understanding of Han Fei's character. There is no doubt that he is patriotic.
The night predicted that Han Fei would intervene in disaster relief matters even if he did not lead the disaster relief work himself.
Whether he is leading the disaster relief effort or simply stepping in to help, Ye Mu has a way of tricking Han Fei, but the consequences vary in severity.
Facts have proved that Ye Mu’s guess was correct. Han Fei, who was extremely patriotic, directly requested to be responsible for disaster relief and went to Nanyang to inspect the disaster area in person.
Logically speaking, if Han Fei, the Sikou, had not taken the initiative to ask for disaster relief, Han Fei would not be able to do this job. Si Nong would be the first responsible person.
Naturally, the troubles in Nanyang could not be hidden from Han Fei and others. The emissary Zhang Liang judged that there was something wrong with the Nanyang land based on the files and the famous Nanyang peach Lu Yuebai who paid tribute.
Han Fei, who visited the disaster area in person, didn't take much time to find out that Emerald Tiger was buying and selling fertilizer in Nanyang to monopolize the population, and had mixed quicklime into the fertilizer.
At the same time, it was discovered that Emerald Tiger, under the pretext of purchasing military rations, had purchased grains circulating in the Korean market and cut off resources for disaster relief.
It is worth mentioning that when Han Fei went to Nanyang, the person responsible for protecting Zi Nu was Zi Nu, not Yan Ling Ji.
After all, Tianze and his gang have not cooperated with Liusha in this world and have much better choices.
With no food on the market in South Korea, Han Fei was unable to provide disaster relief through normal channels and could only take desperate risks and gamble with the Emerald Tiger.
The Emerald Tiger still invites the Iron Blood Alliance as a guarantee. Although the Iron Blood Alliance is not the Iron Blood Alliance it once was, it still has the ability to prevent most people in the world from going back on their word, including the vast majority of powerful people.
Of course, Cheng Xi would not personally come forward for such a trivial matter of guarantee. He would just ask Gan Sha and a murderer to bring special masks, bronze tripods, and iron chains.
Not surprisingly, the two brought back the bet between Han Fei and Jade Tiger.
Since the Iron-Blooded Alliance is engaged in such business, even if Han Fei has friendship with the Iron-Blooded Alliance, it is impossible for Han Fei to break the rules alone.
If Han Fei loses, he still has to pay no less.
But in fact, when Jade Tiger signed a bet with Han Fei, Han Fei had already thought of a way and stepped into the trap set by Han Fei.
Han Fei returned to Zilanxuan and explained his method. Everyone was amazed by Han Fei's method of taking chestnuts from the fire.
However, it didn't take long for everyone to realize a problem, they were short of manpower...
The core of Han Fei's method lies in the military rations secretly hidden in the night. The secret military rations were purchased recently and some were stored in the past.
If there is no way to get the military rations hidden in the night, then Han Fei will definitely lose.
The grain purchased from Wei State alone was a drop in the bucket for the drought in Nanyang.
If you want to move the military rations hidden in the night silently, you need enough manpower.
This time they didn't have Tianze's group to help them. They took turns to work. Except for Yan Lingji, all the Hundred Poison Kings were masters.
Not to mention Wushuang Ghost, he is definitely good at carrying bags. The Exorcist can summon corpse puppets to help. As long as the source of power is endless, it will be a tireless work machine.
Tianze, the boss, is also a good worker. One snakehead chain can carry several bags of food. If six of them are taken out together, one trip can carry as much as a small truck.
It's a pity that Tianze won't help them. Jiuyihui is an option, but running from Nanyang to Xinzheng may expose them.
Ye Mu's intelligence ability is not simple. In order to secretly deceive Chen Cang, Han Fei in the anime used a lot of tricks.
Once the news is leaked, the secret military rations are not stolen, and the bet is lost, it will be over.
The most important thing is that Cheng Yu asked Mo Ya to send out the Bird Killer, who is looking for trouble from the Jiuyi Society, and the Jiuyi Society is now flawlessly taking care of him.
Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu were busy with the things assigned by Han Fei and had no time to help the Jiuyi Society.
The Jiuyi Association is not good, and the soldiers under Sikou, Zuo Sima, and Sili are even less good.
God knows how many night eyes and ears are hidden in those people...
Han Fei thought a lot, but in the end there was no good solution. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
He could only succumb to the pressure of reality and sent Zi Nu to invite Cheng Xi. Cheng Xi seemed to have known about Liu Sha's plight and happened to be at his house.
You must know that Cheng Xi, who was running on both sides of Yan Lingji and Madam Mingzhu, rarely stayed in the mansion anymore.
This time Cheng Xiu did not take his own carriage when he went to Zi Lan Xuan, but shared a carriage with Zi Nu. The reason was of course to hide it from others.
In fact, even though Zi Nu has come to Cheng Mansion so many times, Ye Mu actually doesn't even know about Cheng Xi's existence.
First, the birds were infiltrated into a sieve by the dragon, and all the information that needed to be submitted by the ink crow was screened.
Of course, Lin Yi Ke is the leader in charge of night intelligence, and the channel for transmitting intelligence is definitely not just Mo Crow.
Secondly, all the families around the Cheng Mansion were replaced by killers and intelligence agents, who surrounded the mansion tightly.
As long as a stranger breaks into this area, they will disappear silently.
There is only one possibility for these disappeared people to reappear, and that is to become peripheral members of the snare.
Whether it is someone who breaks in accidentally or a night intelligence agent who enters deliberately, if you want to survive, you can only choose to join, otherwise you will have to disappear completely.
When Xuanjian bought the house for Cheng Xi, he bought the surrounding areas of the house.
The housing prices in Xinzheng Chengnan are not expensive, but if they are priced at a 30% premium, Xinzheng Chengnan, where most people live in poverty, cannot resist such temptation.
Of course, poverty is only relative. Compared with farmers in the countryside, residents in the south of Xinzheng are considered wealthy.
After getting on the carriage, Zinu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine. Chenglong sipped the wine, smelled the fragrance around him, chatted all the way, and soon arrived at Zilanxuan.
…
As Zi Nu came to a private room on the third floor, Zi Nu opened the door and Cheng Xi walked in.
Seeing Cheng Xi arrive, everyone in the box stood up to greet him, and after greeting him, they each took their seats.
"Brother Han hasn't had a drink with me for a long time. You must have something to discuss with me this time, right?"
Cheng Yu smiled, but what he said made Han Fei a little embarrassed.
The subtext is: You don’t think of me when you drink normally, but you think of me when something happens.
"Ahem, Brother Cheng, please forgive me. I've been busy with a lot of things lately, so I have no time and I'm not in the mood to drink."
"Secondly, to be honest, King Qin asked you to help me. I feel a little more awkward than before."
"I offer you a toast to express my apology."
Han Fei looked a little embarrassed, but soon his expression became sincere. He picked up the wine bottle with both hands and bowed from afar.
"Understand, understand."
Naturally, Chenglong would not hold on to it, but picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Han, if you need my help if you need anything, please let me know."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just hope Brother Cheng can support some manpower."
"There's no problem with support manpower, but it's not about the bet, right?"
Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu and others all felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, but others showed it, while Wei Zhuang's face was paralyzed and he didn't show it.
"It seems it's really about the bet, so it's a bit against the rules." Cheng Yu said with a wry smile.
Of course it's against the rules. The Iron Blood Alliance only takes a commission, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses, so it hasn't interfered with the affairs of both parties in the bet.
If the Iron Blood Alliance intervenes, it will help the other party cheat.
If leaked, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation that the Iron Blood Alliance has accumulated over the years.
Han Fei, Zi Nu and others were relatively thin-skinned and were embarrassed to speak for a while, but Wei Zhuang was different.
