Chapter 79

Feng Yin was taken aback by Wu Tiejun's sudden and shocking words, nearly frightened to death.

However, why did this Captain Wu guess it was him?

Wu Tiejun climbed up the tree and stopped at a branch, maintaining a distance of about five meters from Feng Yin, not moving any closer. He leaned against the tree trunk and said in a low voice, "I carefully investigated and confirmed that one of Miao Sensen's targets this time is you, Mr. Feng."

"Considering the entire Yuezhou, or even the entire Tian Nan Dao, the only person who could justify such a massive deployment and such a high cost is you, Brother Feng. No one else is worth it."

"Recalling what Miao Sensen initially told me, it seemed calm and collected, but in reality, it was all a cover-up. He didn't capture you, and he didn't kill you. A talent like you, Miao Sensen would never be willing to harm."

"So when Miao Sensen said he had killed you, I never believed it."

Wu Tiejun's rough face broke into a cunning smile. "Instead of alarming the enemy, it's better to use this news to boost morale and thoroughly clean up the Da Yan rebels in Yuezhou."

"I have been secretly investigating your whereabouts. Even if you planned carefully and used fire to escape, the places you could reach in such a short time are limited to Yuezhou City. Miao Sensen mobilized his forces to enter Yuezhou City, even exposing Qian Wanjin, which further confirms my judgment that you are in Yuezhou."

"Tonight, when I received your message, I immediately canceled the operation. It wasn't because I was afraid of Qian Wanjin or worried about an ambush. After all, the plan was well-prepared, and I had contingency measures in place. But being able to reconnect with you and knowing that you still support the Great Qin is more important than anything else."

"Qian Wanjin, or even Miao Sensen, cannot be compared to you. They are insignificant."

Wu Tiejun smiled silently.

He continued speaking regardless of whether Feng Yin admitted it or not.

It seemed he was convinced that this person could only be Doctor Feng, no one else.

Wu Tiejun had said so much that Feng Yin felt a bit embarrassed. Since the other party already knew everything and had even interrupted a planned operation, it would be too dishonest to keep up the mystery.

He slipped over to Wu Tiejun, still wearing the black mask, and laughed, "Captain Wu is indeed meticulous. Your rough exterior is just a disguise. I must admit, I am truly impressed."

This was completely unexpected by Feng Yin.

Wu Tiejun's thinking was so comprehensive and far-sighted, almost cunning.

If He Buge could think this much and adapt so well, Feng Yin wouldn't be surprised at all.

But it was Wu Tiejun who made this deduction and carried it out, which greatly surprised Feng Yin, making him realize he had underestimated the man.

"Please call me Captain Wu."

Wu Tiejun said seriously, "The rank of captain is one level higher than mine, so I can't be called that casually."

Feng Yin rubbed his forehead, "Alright, Captain Wu."

Yes, deep down, he is still that ironclad man. This part is genuine.

"You are too kind, Mr. Feng. I don't deserve such praise."

Wu Tiejun sighed, "In the face of the enemy, if one cannot think more flexibly, how can one defeat them? If one's reaction is slow, how can one act decisively? Perhaps only among colleagues can one let down one's guard and maintain a straightforward personality. I am not incapable, nor am I lacking in thought or strategy. But when it comes to dealing with colleagues... there's no need to think more."

He sighed deeply, "A person like me should be on the front lines, in the midst of battle, in the military, on the battlefield. Once I am in logistics, in administration, or in power struggles, it's nothing but trouble. How can I focus on my work?"

Feng Yin nodded silently, admitting it.

Wu Tiejun might be able to do many things well and complete all the tasks given to him, but when it came to handling relationships with colleagues and superiors, he was truly out of his depth. He was more at ease and默契 with his subordinates.

Such a person is not lacking in intelligence or emotional intelligence.

But he could ruin a good hand and block his own path to advancement.

Even if Feng Yin had lived two lives, he still couldn't describe the character and patience of such a person.

But Feng Yin knew better than anyone that in this world, and in his previous world, such people were not few.

They could treat subordinates and the poor equally, sympathize with those who deserve it, and do every job well.

But they all had a common and very fatal weakness: they could never bend their backs to their superiors or leaders.

In the face of mistakes or rule-breakers, they could never hold back.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

This is especially clear in their minds.

Their world cannot tolerate a grain of sand.

When others are flattering, such people will never flatter; when others are entertaining, such people will never entertain; when others are giving gifts, such people will never give gifts.

If a subordinate makes a mistake, I will say it directly; but if a superior makes a mistake, saying it directly is outrageous.

Such people... in literary terms, they are described as "proud to their superiors but lenient to their subordinates, bullying the strong but not oppressing the weak."

But such people are undoubtedly the most difficult to get by in any world.

"Both I and Lord He know that you are actually alive, but even when we speak, we never say so."

"Because your current situation is very dangerous. To minimize your risk, even we only conduct secret investigations, ensuring that even if we can't find you, it doesn't matter. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."

"After all, Yuezhou is our home turf. If we can't find you, Miao Sensen certainly can't find you."

Wu Tiejun smiled with relief.

"But I am very happy that you have appeared now, and even more so that you have shown us goodwill. I am truly moved."

Wu Tiejun exhaled, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Feng Yin's eyes behind the mask were filled with warmth, and he said softly, "Thank you for your concern. I have long dedicated myself to the path of medicine. If I were to enter the bureaucracy, it would divide my energy and go against my original intentions. I have no interest in it."

Wu Tiejun's spirits lifted, and he laughed softly, "Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine. With your abilities, you should be revered wherever you go. Why enter the bureaucracy and add a bunch of superiors and constraints? No matter how high your rank, it will never be higher than the emperor, generals, or high officials. Once you enter, even if you become a valuable asset, you will inevitably be envied and resented, adding many troubles and constraints."

"Being a free man, detached from the world, unbound by power, and following your heart, how delightful."

"That's why I have never been enthusiastic about bringing you back into the bureaucracy. Heh... If I had your abilities, I would never become an official."

Feng Yin's expression became even more gentle.

The two of them were on the big tree at the intersection, hidden by the branches, blending into the tree. Even if someone passed by or used the tree as a stepping stone, it would be extremely difficult to notice them.

Feng Yin felt unusually comfortable.

This feeling was inexplicable but very real.

"This is a trap."

Feng Yin quickly explained, "I don't know what information you have, but this trap is huge. If you act, you will be completely trapped."

"What do you mean, Mr. Feng?" Wu Tiejun frowned.

"Do you think this is related to the garrison army? So you are worried about a major incident and are acting in advance?"

"That's correct." Wu Tiejun admitted.

"But they are well-prepared, and the garrison army has already sent experts to the Qian family mansion."

Feng Yin sighed, "I don't know what you are planning or what they are preparing, but I know one thing: any rebellion needs a trigger."

"A trigger! A trigger for rebellion!"

Wu Tiejun was clearly stunned, his eyes wide open, "Is it already formed?!"

Feng Yin said, "These past few days, I have been observing the Qian family mansion. There are military personnel entering and exiting at night, and recently, it has been filled with Yuezhou's elite."

Wu Tiejun's face turned dark.

"I estimate they are fully prepared. Once you act, they will immediately form a standoff. Then, the upper echelons will engage in power struggles, buying time. Yuezhou will be in turmoil, the garrison army will be on high alert, and there will be signs of a mutiny."

"And at that time, they will need heads to quell the mutiny..."

"Once the Tian Nan Qingyi is dragged into it, it will be over."

"Or, at the same time, before, or after, the army will be incited, claiming that officials are forcing the people to rebel, and so on. You can imagine the rest. Yuezhou could change hands."

"The entire Great Qin, or the entire Tian Nan Dao, could be dragged into a quagmire."

"From then on, the Great Qi and the Great Yan will have no worries in Tian Nan, and it could become a strategic base for both offense and defense..."

Feng Yin said calmly, "If I were from the Yan or Qi, this is the situation I would truly want, not just a Rainbow Sky Silk from the Great Qin's Tian Nan."

Wu Tiejun's forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

It must be said that what Feng Yin described was exactly what Qi and Yan most wanted to see.

If this really happened, even if it was only half or a third successful, it would be what they had long dreamed of.
