Chapter 700: Chapter 657: Fu Fu Opens the Creation Gate
"Sir, the team has left Beijing, what is our destination? Please advise, sir." Zhang Tao spoke.
He is the Personal Guard Captain, originally not part of this squad. Lei Tianlun worried that Lin Xiaosu might not return once he ventured to Jiangnan, and thus specially delegated elite troops from his own Personal Guard team to temporarily assist Lin Xiaosu.
Of course, he also carried a share of other roles, such as playing the role of a strategist for the team, making up for the lack of experience of these two inexperienced young fellows.
Lin Xiaosu said, "Fuyao Mansion!"
Fuyao Mansion!
Zhang Tao was taken aback: "Sir, are you targeting the Dongxuan Sect?"
Fuyao Mansion, the most famous sect is the Dongxuan Sect.
Lin Xiaosu nodded slightly.
Acknowledged.
This acknowledgment prompted Zhang Tao to speak: "Sir, I strongly suggest that you do not choose the Dongxuan Sect as the first target in your expedition to Jiangnan."
"Oh? Why?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
Standing on the deck, the towering Kuang Lang cast his gaze down, clearly interested in the topic.
Zhang Tao lightly swiped his hand, forming a soundproof barrier with the air behind him.
Thus began the discussion...
Originally being the deputy captain of the Zhen Heaven Pavilion’s Personal Guard, he was responsible for gathering information. He knew that Mr. Su’s expedition to Jiangnan was under the guise of clearing accumulated cases from the Ministry of Justice.
Therefore, the choice of targets was particularly important.
In his opinion, Lin Xiaosu should choose cases where the perpetrators’ status was not too high, such as Outer Disciples of sects. This way, when he visited, the sect might hand over the culprit to avoid escalating the matter, creating a win-win situation.
The Emperor would be pleased, Mr. Su would earn merit, the sect would maintain its reputation, and the world would acclaim it. What’s not to love?
But the Dongxuan Sect isn’t like that.
There was only one accumulated case involving the Dongxuan Sect’s Ministry of Justice, concerning the Saint Heir He Fei.
Why would they hand over the Saint Heir?
The result would certainly be... no result!
The first shot of the Jiangnan expedition, a misfire!
How would the drama unfold thereafter?
This is Zhang Tao’s consideration, blending human nature and the characteristics of this era, revealing his concerns honestly to Lin Xiaosu.
Lin Xiaosu held his teacup: "I understand Captain Zhang’s intention! You propose that we choose a few minor offenders to give the sect a way out, as well as ourselves, to simply go through the motions, correct?"
"Sir, this... this might be the only operable option at the moment." Zhang Tao said.
Lin Xiaosu slowly raised his gaze, looking upwards, where Kuang Lang’s weathered face was.
"Kuang Lang, what do you think of Captain Zhang’s suggestion?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
Kuang Lang replied coldly: "Just like how high-ranking officials behave when visiting provinces, cowardly, hypocritical, shameful!"
Zhang Tao’s expression changed: "Kuang Lang, you..."
Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, halting them!
Both directed their gaze towards him, awaiting his final decision.
Lin Xiaosu said: "Captain Zhang’s proposal is well-intentioned, while Kuang Lang’s attitude is clear and direct; they both align with their identities, which is comforting to me!"
Comforting?
Both were puzzled, was this reconciliation?
Could this mud even be reconciled?
Lin Xiaosu said: "My expedition to Jiangnan is to suppress all vile forces; hence, it cannot be like other officials just going through the motions. The harder the bone, the more it needs to be gnawed away! If necessary, even cleansing the sect directly!"
Kuang Lang’s eyes suddenly gleamed.
Zhang Tao’s face turned drastically: "Sir..."
Lin Xiaosu raised his hand again: "I know you want to say that, with our strength, it is not enough to cleanse sects or tackle hard bones, but there’s one method—we can leverage power!"
Zhang Tao frowned: "Leverage power? From whom?"
"For instance, leveraging power from the heavens, using Array Path!"
Array Path?
All three present showed noticeable changes in expression...
Indeed, there were only four listeners to this conversation: Zhang Tao, Kuang Lang, Lin Xiaosu, and Fu Fu.
"Kuang Lang, this is also what I’ve told you before about Military Path, it’s not single combat but overall combat. Military formation defeating single troops is routine, and today, I want to tell you the military formation can be improved!"
"Military formation? Improved?" Kuang Lang locked onto him firmly.
"Kuang Lang, hear my command! Deliver all fifty military flags into the ship’s hold!" Lin Xiaosu stood up, turned into the ship’s hold with Fu Fu following closely...
Kuang Lang looked up at the sky, her gaze vacant for a moment.
Suddenly, she stretched her hand sharply!
Grasping the gigantic military flag in front.
As the fierce wind swept through, the military flag suddenly fluttered.
Simultaneously, the military flags from the forty-nine warships surrounding them rose.
Boom!
Together with the flag in her hand, a total of fifty military flags shot towards the ship’s hold with the force of a storm.
Inside the ship’s hold, Lin Xiaosu’s face changed as the fifty military flags entered, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, shaking the heavens. This young lady aimed at her superior like a target.
His hand flipped, ready to catch the flags.
The sound of the wind stopped, and the fifty flags suddenly lost their ferocity, planting themselves before him.
The densely packed flags blocked the entrance of the ship’s hold; even though the hold was exceptionally spacious, the fifty towering flags resembled ten sky-reaching trees.
Lin Xiaosu raised his hand slightly, and a stream of air hit a protrusion by the door, causing the huge door to close slowly.
Inside the ship’s hold, the light from the South Sea Pearl illuminated Fu Fu’s face with radiant splendor. Yes, once the door closed, she dropped her disguise, revealing the charmingly coquettish face of the Fox Clan’s Little Spirit Sister.
"Brother Su, do you know Array Path?"
"You don’t believe?"
"Not really..." Fu Fu’s eyes gently twirled: "When you came to propose at my home that day, I saw the situation on Fenghua Road."
