Chapter 74

In the past few days, through Wu Tiejun's efforts, as many as eleven Great Yan spies and Black Wing Hall spies had been captured.

However, his frustration did not diminish but rather increased.

Because, not a single important figure related to the case had been caught.

He stared at each one with red eyes.

He could not relax; perhaps the next one would be an important figure from the Great Yan Black Wing Hall.

He must catch them!

The sound of footsteps approached, and the captain of the guard came over with a stool: "Sir Wu, please sit down and watch."

"No need." His tone was stiff.

"Watching while sitting can also help you save a bit of energy."

"Our mission requires us to give it our all, always being cautious. A moment's negligence could cost the lives of our brothers!" Wu Tiejun said coolly, "How can I, Wu, afford the slightest relaxation or fatigue!"

The captain shook his head and left.

He admired Wu Tiejun's character, but since Wu Tiejun was assigned to guard the city gate, he and all the guards felt very uncomfortable.

Because this man was too serious.

Under his leadership and urging, everyone had to follow his pace, and after just a few days, they were all exhausted and could hardly speak of their suffering.

But no one was willing to give in to Rainbow Sky Clothing.

The Great Qin Guard also had its dignity. Even though Rainbow Sky Clothing was of high rank and very powerful, the Great Qin Guard had its own responsibilities and was not necessarily weaker than them.

So everyone gritted their teeth and endured.

However, in just these two days, the appearance and morale of the guards had undergone a tremendous change, unprecedented.

But even if the changes were positive and the morale was high, human endurance had its limits.

Wu Tiejun, with his profound cultivation, could still hold up despite the load being several times greater than others, staying awake and working tirelessly. However, the others were gradually reaching their limits and might not be able to hold on much longer!

If it weren't for the dire situation, the captain on duty would not have offered the stool, hoping Wu Tiejun would relax a bit. Only if he relaxed first could the others get a moment's rest.

To put it bluntly, the captain was extremely grateful to Wu Tiejun for bringing a new look to the guard, but he still hoped Wu Tiejun would leave soon.

You are impressive, and your actions are touching, but please don't come back.

So, a serious person can indeed influence many, but such a person is not welcome anywhere. Wu Tiejun's experience was a vivid example of this.

A long laugh echoed.

"Old Wu, you bastard, your old man has come to see you."

The moment this voice was heard, the captain of the guard vanished in a flash, his speed astonishing.

Fei Fenkeng had arrived.

He couldn't be provoked, couldn't be provoked.

He had to leave this place of trouble!

Even Wu Tiejun's face fell. What was this fool doing here?

To mock me?

Definitely, definitely to mock me!

At this moment, Feng Yin had also arrived and sat down at a tea stall not far from the city gate, ordering two plates of snacks and a pot of tea, sitting comfortably as if everything was normal and relaxed.

However, from his position, he could see Wu Tiejun's square face, which was now full of impatience and wariness, and half of Fei Xin's face, which, though only half, looked very annoying.

Fei Xin, with a sly smile, walked over to Wu Tiejun.

"Captain, Captain, how does it feel to guard the gate every day? Is it satisfying?"

Fei Xin winked and smirked, "Captain, you look like you're constipated. Are you uncomfortable? Did you eat something bad, or is your hemorrhoids acting up?"

Wu Tiejun's face was as dark as a pot bottom: "Speak quickly, or get lost."

"Hey, Captain, you have such an imposing presence!" Fei Xin raised his eyebrows, wanting to continue mocking, but thinking of how Wu Tiejun would definitely settle the score later, making him clean the barracks with strict standards, he felt a chill.

He pulled Wu Tiejun and said, "I have something serious to discuss with you."

"What serious matter?"

"Very serious, about the Black Wing Hall."

Saying this, he pulled Wu Tiejun towards the tea stall.

Fei Xin thought, if this fool doesn't rest soon, he might collapse. Pulling him to have some tea was to save him, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

He cared in his heart but didn't say it, and even his thoughts were full of dirty jokes. This guy was really something.

"About the Black Wing Hall?"

Wu Tiejun's spirits immediately lifted, and he was almost dragged over without resistance.

The two walked to a corner of the tea stall.

This position was very close to Feng Yin, close enough to hear their normal conversation. However, most of their words were in the secret language of Rainbow Sky Clothing, making it impossible to understand. This was why they dared to talk freely in public.

But Feng Yin had been in contact with Rainbow Sky Clothing for a few days and had some understanding of their secret language.

Especially during the days of healing, these guys had explained some to Feng Yin: "In case of an emergency, you can do this..."

So, he could understand some of it by listening and guessing.

"I suspect the Black Feather Team of the Black Wing Hall is planning something. Miao Sen, that old bastard, has other motives," Fei Xin said shockingly.

"How so? Have you received any information?"

"No specific information, just a reverse inference. Think about it, since Mr. Feng's unfortunate incident, we have intensified our efforts to catch people, using more aggressive methods, and everyone has been more focused. But even so, the results are too significant... Don't you think we've caught too many people?"

Wu Tiejun was puzzled: "Too many people caught... Isn't that good?"

"Have I ever been wrong calling you a fool? How could you not notice the strangeness in this obvious situation?!"

Fei Xin said disdainfully, "Can't you use your pea-sized brain to think? Why are we catching people so smoothly when we are making such a big fuss? Who are our targets? They are Great Yan spies. Why would they act when we are cracking down so hard? Why not stay silent?"

Wu Tiejun was speechless: "You fool? Now that the front line has won, this city is the largest border city. After defeating Qi, our troops are pressing Yan. At such a critical moment, any movement must be known by Yan. When would the spies not act? At this crucial time, it's natural for us to catch more people."

Fei Xin couldn't stand it anymore and cursed, "Idiot, use your brain. Such large-scale sacrifices without a significant purpose, would you do it?"

Wu Tiejun's eyes widened, and he grabbed Fei Xin's collar: "Continue!"

Fei Xin twisted his face, pushed Wu Tiejun's hand away, rolled his eyes, and was about to curse but held back, clearly not wanting to argue too much or showing some respect for the captain.

Because Wu Tiejun could kill him without hesitation.

After a pause, he continued, "According to common sense, when the enemy suddenly starts a large-scale crackdown, all spies would stop their activities, even without orders, and wait for the storm to pass before resuming. You are experienced, you should understand this, right?"

"Right, that makes sense." Wu Tiejun's eyes grew brighter.

"Even if they are under pressure due to war losses, they wouldn't act so much. They only need to expose a few to draw attention, allowing others to gather the needed information in secret. Isn't that right?"

"Right."

"But the Great Yan spies are acting like fools, one after another, almost in a suicidal manner, even those we haven't discovered are surfacing. What are they doing, seeking death? Even if one of them is crazy, can all these spies be crazy?"

Fei Xin said, "So, there must be a reason. They must have a purpose we don't know or understand. And this purpose is very dangerous. Idiot, do you understand?"

Wu Tiejun took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

"Moreover, the Black Feather Team has been more active recently, several times more than before. We might not see one in half a year, but in just three days, we've caught two and killed four!"

Fei Xin said, "This shows that the Black Feather Team is in action, and Miao Sen is planning something big!"

"The Black Feather Team is Miao Sen's direct subordinate. They are operating in Yuezhou City, and the spies in Yuezhou City are also active at this time. Do you think this is normal? Is it possible that there is no connection?"

Wu Tiejun's face changed, and he murmured, "Right, right."

"At a time when they shouldn't send anyone, they are sending people; at a time when spies shouldn't act, they are acting collectively. How can this not be intriguing?"

"Based on this, Miao Sen must have another purpose! And this purpose must be very important. Otherwise, he wouldn't do this even if he were insane."

Fei Xin said solemnly, "For the same reason, this must be very important. I feel we might have overlooked something."
