Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 108 Bizarre Fire
  After planting the flag, the coir raincoat guest turned to the matter of the Emerald Tiger:
  "The Emerald Tiger has some special information that might interest you."

"Oh, you mean...Iron Blood Alliance?" Bai Yifei guessed.

"Yes, after receiving your instructions yesterday, he immediately sent someone to contact the Iron Blood Alliance, hoping that they could act as guarantee and sign a contract for him and Gu Xun. The content of the contract was that the Emerald Tiger was willing to use 10% of the net profit from the sale of Xiaoyao Pills. As a reward, I will exchange for the complete production method of Xiaoyao Pill to be my own, and at the same time, 10% of the net profit will be paid to the Jagged Alliance as a guarantee fee."

"Let me guess, the Iron Blood Alliance must have refused to guarantee this contract, right?" Bai Yifei interjected with interest.

"Not bad." The coir raincoat's bamboo hat shook, "Not only that, the Emerald Tiger then proposed a bet, hoping to bet with Gu Xun whether there was a problem with the refining method of Xiaoyao Pill, but the Iron Blood Alliance rejected it again."

The Emerald Tiger isn't exactly a loser either.

After Bai Yifei left, he realized that looking for the Iron Blood Alliance was a test, so after being rejected by the Guarantee Contract, a business that the Iron Blood Alliance did not operate before, he immediately proposed another main business of the Iron Blood Alliance.

Now that both are rejected, the meaning behind it is very interesting.

"The Iron Blood Alliance's refusal to enter the game once again proves that Gu Xun is not simple, but this is just the icing on the cake." Bai Yifei accepted the news calmly
  "But it's not over yet." Lin Yike gave Bai Yifei an unexpected answer, "After the Iron Blood Alliance rejected the Emerald Tiger again, it revealed a piece of news to him. The Iron Blood Alliance guarantee that Gu Xun had before The contract is fake."

"Huh? That's interesting."

Gu Xun forged the contract and Bai Yifei could not accept it, but the behavior of the Iron Blood Alliance was very interesting. Before, they ignored the Emerald Tiger and believed that the contract was true, but now that they have paid out 100,000 gold, they were informed that the contract was false.

They seemed to be deliberately trying to trick the Jade Tiger, and... they wanted to provoke Ye Mu to deal with Gu Xun.

"Who do you think they are targeting? Jade Tiger? Ye Mu? Or Gu Xun?" Bai Yifei asked the coir raincoat guest with a sneer.

Lin Yike did not answer directly, but just said, "This is not in line with the past style of the Iron Blood Alliance."

The Iron-Blooded Alliance has always acted upright in the world, and has never done anything beyond its status as a guarantor. The only thing it does not deal with is the snare. There are occasional frictions between the two families, but those are rare cases. Even if it is the snare, the Iron-Blooded Alliance is very Don't take the initiative to provoke others.

The relationship between Ye Mu and the Iron Blood Alliance is average, but there is absolutely no conflict. They have no reason to target Ye Mu. It is impossible for a big force to do something without a reason.

In other words, it is more likely that they are targeting Gu Xun, but they are just using the night as a weapon.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Bai Yifei murmured.

If this is the case, what is the purpose of the Iron Blood Alliance?

Anyway, it was not to kill Gu Xun.

In Bai Yifei's view, the Iron Blood Alliance did not need to borrow a knife to complete this kind of thing. Gu Xun had forged the contract first, so it was reasonable for them to kill Gu Xun, and they had a good reputation.

What is that for?

Internal power struggles? Or is it to stir up external disputes?

Of course, it is also possible that it is simply because he wants to take Xiaoyao Wan as his own.

At this time, Lin Yi Ke mentioned a previous piece of information:

"Three months ago, Luo Wang unsuccessfully chased a mysterious man in Huaibei, Chu State. Not only did he escape, but he also lost a large number of people. It seems that this ancient miracle doctor appeared not long after that."

"The snare..." Bai Yifei repeated this great killer weapon in Qin's hands.

The meaning of Linyi Ke's guess is very obvious. He thinks that Gu Xun is probably the mysterious person who escaped from the trap.

This is not groundless conjecture.

Gu Xun's strength is very strong, and the time of his appearance is also cleverly matched (the night intelligence network is not as good as that of Qi State, so it is not known that Luo Wang's last attack on the mysterious man and Gu Xun's appearance in Xinzheng City were on the same day), and he has Xiaoyao Maru's ancient search also has the potential to be targeted by the net, and Bai Yifei quite agrees with this speculation. Furthermore, Huaibei is close to the State of Qi. In terms of distance, Shouchun, the capital of Chu, is even farther away than Linzi, the capital of Qi, which can also explain the inexplicable intrusion of the State of Qi.

But in this case, another big force is involved.

Luowang, Qi State, Iron Blood Alliance, plus the night of my own...

This small place in South Korea has not faced such a big battle for a long time.

Linyi Ke reminded, "Judging from the current information, the involvement behind this ancient miracle doctor is too wide and deep, and it is really difficult to provoke... What are you going to do?"

Bai Yifei still looked at the world with an evil smile, "Chaos is coming, but order will always be restored, and in this land... we are the order."

"Next, you just need to follow my instructions. It's time for me... to see the general and continue with the next step of the plan."

The coir raincoat's eyes hidden under the bamboo hat were lowered, silently watching Bai Yifei walk away on the ice.

Although there is nothing to be afraid of at night in Xinzheng, but...

He had a bad feeling.

As an intelligence chief, he knows very well that sometimes intuition is the most critical, and the most important intelligence can be obtained from the most subtle and detailed information.

At this time, another homing pigeon of the same style as yesterday flew over.

Taking off the letterhead, Lin Yike quickly browsed the contents on it.

It is something that has nothing to do with Gu Xun, and it is also something that normally should not be regarded as intelligence.

The wildfire last night.

Although it is cold in winter, it is relatively dry, and there are many dead branches and dry grass. Mountain fires are common. From a normal perspective, the fire last night was just a little bigger, so it is not surprising. What's more, It shouldn't be spread in the streets.

The reason for this is because the fire came suddenly and extinguished inexplicably, especially the Optimus Fire Pillar at the end, which was even more bizarre.

Many people who were relatively close at that time suddenly discovered that the sky was dyed red by the fire, and then watched the fire pillar appear and the fire suddenly extinguished. Therefore, it was natural for various theories of gods and ghosts to spread.

The coir raincoat guest didn't care about the mountain fire before. After all, Gu Xun's matters were the first priority. However, because the rumors spread to Ji Wuye, he ordered someone to check it out.

The final result of this investigation shocked him a little.

Those rumors are not false, uh... not the part about Ji Wuye, but the mysterious appearance and mysterious extinguishment of the mountain fire are not false.

The intelligence spies under Capricorn asked all the households around the place where the mountain fire occurred, and the answers they got were the same. The results of personal inspections on the mountain also showed that the fire was very strange.

The fire only burned for two or three hours in total. How could it burn to this point? Moreover, a fire that burned to this extent could not be extinguished in a short time. It was normal for it to burn for several days.

Everything seemed strange, so they hurriedly sent a letter to Feige to report the matter.

Lin Yi Ke doesn't believe in the legends of gods and ghosts, but...the facts are here.

And this news made him feel even more uneasy.

It's a pity that he is just an intelligence chief and his status is only slightly better than that of the Emerald Tiger. He cannot use his own feelings to persuade Bai Yifei to change his strategy.
