Chapter 651 The icing on the cake
"How dare you! The captain just said that the Three Offices should not be notified. What are your intentions?!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ben's face immediately darkened.
After all, his senior brother was arriving soon, and he was just waiting for this opportunity to help his senior brother become an official.
As it turns out, this kid actually wanted the Three Offices to get involved. Then what was the point of my senior brother coming all this way?
This must not be the case!
He looked at Jin Lingfeng and said, "Captain, this man is short-sighted. His advice is not to be trusted!"
However, Jin Lingfeng did not immediately berate Ye Kang as he had imagined.
Instead, he appeared to be deep in thought.
"That makes sense. We've already alerted them. If we hesitate, the evidence could be destroyed."
"Captain! No way! The Three Offices will steal your credit!"
"Absurd! We're all working for the court, what's the point of talking about merit? Besides, who gave the Three Offices the audacity to steal my credit?"
Jin Lingfeng's lips curled into a smile.
As the son of a marquis, he had an extremely powerful background. Even if the three officials didn't care about him, they would still respect him and would definitely not try to steal his credit.
Of course, there won't be too much favoritism.
Seeing that Jin Lingfeng had grasped the point, Ye Kang continued, "My lord, we not only need to notify the Three Offices, but our Wind Breath Valley also needs to work with them to solve the case. We need to deal with White Bone Ridge and Dry Moon first. As for Magistrate Ma, we can have the Three Offices send someone to Blackfire Town to borrow troops. On the one hand, we can keep an eye on Magistrate Ma, and on the other hand, we can sever the connection between White Bone Ridge and Blackfire Town."
"What a plan!"
Jin Lingfeng was overjoyed.
He wasn't stupid; the method Ye Kang suggested had the least risk.
Although half the credit would be given to him, it would still be enough for him to boast to his father.
"Do as Commander Ye says. I will use the communication jade slip to notify the Three Prefectures. As for you... you will be arranged by Commander Ye. Be ready to cooperate with the Three Prefectures in any attack."
"what!!!"
Li Ben was completely dumbfounded.
To make myself obey the orders of a useless lord!
Isn't this ridiculous?!
He immediately sent a telepathic message to Jin Lingfeng: "Young Master, please think this over carefully. We can't be so hasty!"
Jin Lingfeng glanced at him and transmitted his voice, "Then think of a way to ensure that we capture White Bone Ridge and Magistrate Ma."
"I……"
Li Ben wanted to wait for his senior brother to arrive, but then he thought that his senior brother wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.
Moreover, there's only one senior brother, but there's more than one Star Luo Realm expert in White Bone Ridge, plus the troublesome Ku Yue. I really have no confidence...
Seeing him stammering, Jin Lingfeng ignored him and immediately took out a pink communication jade slip.
Officials at all levels in the Wu Dynasty were equipped with these jade slips, which allowed for a wide range of communication and rapid reporting up the chain of command.
With this, he could, as the border guard captain of Fengxi Valley, deliver intelligence directly to the headquarters of the Three Prefectures of Qingfeng County.
At the same time, a group of civil officials had already surrounded Ye Kang.
"Commander Ye, you are truly a young genius! You have come up with such a brilliant plan!"
"Yes, yes, Commander Ye, please give us your orders, and we will definitely cooperate!"
Ye Kang was speechless. These people hadn't even given him a second glance just moments ago, but now they were being frighteningly enthusiastic.
He said calmly, "All combat forces above the fourth rank, including civilian personnel and the Silver Dragon Army, are mobilized. Together with the two commanders, assemble in the square."
Li Ben's face turned ashen upon hearing this.
That bastard, how dare he abuse his power!
He was about to make a sarcastic remark when he met Jin Lingfeng's warning gaze, and his heart skipped a beat, so he dared not say another word.
Ye Kang ignored him, cupped his hands, and left the conference room.
In the square, martial artists gathered together.
All the Silver Dragon Army soldiers who remained in Windbreak Valley were also present.
As soldiers, although they looked down on Ye Kang, they would never disobey military orders.
Even the vice-captain of the Six Palaces listened quietly to Ye Kang's orders.
Unfortunately, the true elite forces are still in the Black Desert, guarding that dangerous demon.
Otherwise, there would be no need to go to the Three Offices.
Ye Kang said, “Fellow Daoists, if the evidence of collusion between officials and bandits is conclusive, then this is our time to make a name for ourselves. For the sake of your own future, fellow Daoists should also do their utmost to completely wipe out White Bone Ridge.”
After saying that, he looked at Li Ben, who had a displeased expression.
"Teacher Li, what do you think?"
The latter gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I will obey the captain's orders."
"That's good. In order to seize the initiative, we can't hesitate. Let's set off now!"
"Are you crazy! What if Ku Yue attacks us!"
"That's exactly what we wanted—for him to make trouble."
Ye Kang's lips curled into a smile, and he already had a plan in mind.
The three prefectures are all elites among elites, so they won't arrive slowly.
They might not necessarily help Windrise Valley, but if Kuyue takes the initiative, everything will be different.
Without hesitation, he walked out of the valley entrance, followed by Scarface, Shen Fei, and the other three.
Then Shi Motong and Commander Zhang followed them out, with the Silver Dragon Army following in neat formation. The rest of the men looked at Li Ben, their faces hesitant.
"Forget it, if anything goes wrong, this kid will have to take the blame!"
He walked out with a dark face, leading a large group of more than thirty people towards White Bone Ridge.
The scarred man followed behind Ye Kang, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What's going on! Why are we suddenly going to attack White Bone Ridge?"
Ye Kang did not answer, but said calmly, "There was a little accident. By the way, to prevent any from escaping, I need to ask you for a favor."
"I?"
The little scarred man pointed at himself in disbelief.
Ye Kang said, "Fangjiabao should also have Star Luo experts, right? Could you do me a favor and go and scout their formation?"
"You're insane! What does Fangjiabao have to do with me!"
"Whether it's there or not, it's just a suggestion; after all, it's merely icing on the cake."
The little scarred face's expression changed.
She never imagined that her identity as a member of the Fang family had already been exposed.
But this guy didn't seem to intend to expose me; instead, he wanted my help.
In fact, she was not only a member of Fangjiabao, but also the daughter of the fortress lord.
The reason she came to Windbreak Valley to infiltrate was to obtain something—a treasure that was crucial to her father's breakthrough.
But Ye Kang's words did not make her make up her mind immediately.
The relationship is too important; if something goes wrong, Fangjiabao will also be dragged into it.
Ye Kang didn't try to persuade her; he was just guessing, and if he was wrong, so be it.
Anyway, with the three prefectures and departments backing us up, we won't suffer too much of a loss.
Meanwhile, in the distance, layers of demonic clouds descended.
Behind the demonic clouds, a desert pheasant slowly revealed itself.
The withered moon was indeed still there.
The pain of losing a son doesn't disappear so easily. These days, he has been waiting outside Windbreak Valley for someone to come out.
That person was the deputy captain of the Silver Dragon Army in the valley.
Aside from Jin Lingfeng, he is the only one who has reached the sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
He was the only one most likely to kill his own son!
Flames blazed in Kuyue's eyes as he followed her without any attempt to conceal them.
Sensing his murderous intent, the vice-captain's face turned solemn.
He must have had the worst luck imaginable. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was targeted by a demon king.
unlucky!
