Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 207

[Chapter 207 Reunion]

In the courtyard, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked at the parrot. They were shocked and their faces changed!

When they were about to discuss important matters, a bird suddenly appeared and told them that there was a traitor in the Tiandao League and the meeting was cancelled. Everyone would be shocked.

For a moment, everyone was stunned and at a loss.

The first person to react was A Ke. Looking at the parrot, her face changed and she said decisively: “Let’s go!”

At this moment, everyone has also reacted. No matter who reminded them, the fact that the bird could find this place means that their whereabouts have been exposed and they need to leave immediately.

Zheng Li strode to a well in the courtyard and jumped down without hesitation.

The others followed closely and jumped into the well. In a blink of an eye, the courtyard that was very lively just now was no longer a single figure.

At this moment, in the government office, Jin Tai looked at an hourglass that had run out of time, and said in a deep voice: “The time has come, move!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up. Although Jin’s special skill could not fly directly, his shoes were specially made, and iron pieces were hidden in the soles, which enabled him to indirectly have the ability to fly.

At the same time that Jin Tai flew up, another figure had sunk into the ground.

The rest of the people, led by more than a hundred constables from the government office, quickly came to a residential house two streets away and surrounded it.

Not long after, in the courtyard, Jin Tai’s face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: “Where are the people!”

The information they received could not be wrong. Several spies who had been disguised and lurking nearby had also confirmed that several people with suspicious identities had just entered the courtyard. In other words, the undercover’s information was correct, and this was indeed the gathering place of the Tiandao League traitors.

But where are the people?

There was no one in the courtyard.

Could it be that they discovered something?

This possibility is very small. In order not to arouse suspicion, except for a few well-hidden spies, they did not make any arrangements in this vicinity. Moreover, if the people of the Tiandao League had known that the government would take action tonight, they would not come here at all.

At this time, the earth-based magician of the Huang family drilled out from the ground and said, “I have seen that there is a secret passage under this well, leading to another well a hundred feet away. They escaped from the well…”

Jin Tai made a prompt decision and said, “In such a short time, they can’t run far. Chase them!”

Five earth-level strongmen chased out, and the Ningshan Mansion’s constables and yamen runners also began to search for suspicious people from house to house, but they knew in their hearts that if they missed the opportunity to catch these people in one fell swoop, it would be very difficult to catch them again.

There is a female assassin in the Tiandao League who has the ability to be invisible. Once they escape, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Xiu and Qin Wan also led a team of people to search, until half an hour later, everyone met in the government office, and all found nothing.

Ningshan prefectural governor had ordered people to close the four city gates and temporarily prevent anyone from entering or leaving. Jin Tai said with a sullen face: “How could they suddenly leave through the secret passage? Could it be that there is a traitor among us?”

The Tiandao League may have their own traitor who leaked the time and place of the gathering. Among them, there may also be a traitor in the Tiandao League who informed them of this action.

The only people who knew that this action was against the Tiandao League, apart from some bigwigs in Kyoto, were the seven people present.

But those bigwigs in Kyoto did not know the details of their actions.

For a moment, several people looked at each other, looking at each other with suspicion.

It was obvious that the people in the Tiandao League did not know about their actions tonight before, otherwise they would not have gathered together. Those people got the news temporarily and then fled quickly.

The problem was that during that period of time just now, all seven people were in the government office, and no one had time to send a message.

Jin Tai punched the stone table, leaving a fist mark on it, and gritted his teeth and said, “Who leaked the news!”

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “Perhaps, this news was not leaked tonight. It is obvious that before the rally, the people of the Tiandao League were separated, and they did not know each other’s whereabouts. Only when they gathered together at the beginning of the rally, could they tell everyone the news.”

Zhuang Yan said, “What Mr. Lin said makes sense. The news should have leaked a long time ago, but he couldn’t send a message to everyone, but in this way, the scope of suspicion is too large. Except for a few of us, all the insiders are suspected…”

So far, it can be confirmed that the Tiandao League and the court have internal ghosts.

But it is obviously not an easy task to catch the internal ghost. After

discussing it, several people decided to let a large number of people guard the city gates first. According to the news from the internal ghost, the Tiandao League did not have a strong man with flying ability. As long as they guarded the four city gates, they would have nowhere to escape.

It should be noted that the invisible female assassin should not take advantage of the situation and take people out one by one.

Lin Xiu looked at the few people and said, “Is there anything else we can do?”

Jin Tai said, “It’s getting late. You two can go back and rest. If we find any trace of those traitors, we will send someone to notify you.”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Then we’ll go back first.”

Qin Wan held Lin Xiu’s hand and left with him.

The Earth-level magician from the Huang family said in surprise: “Isn’t his wife Zhao Lingjun? How come she is holding hands with this guy?”

Lu Fang said: “What’s the matter? He even took a concubine. She is so young, so pretty, and has such a good talent for cultivation. He also married the best wife in the world. God is so unfair. Who can you go to for justice…”

Jin Tai waved his hand and said: “Don’t talk nonsense. The most important thing is to catch those rebels from the Tiandao League as soon as possible. Huang Xian, you hide underground and search again to see if there is any gain. Lu Fang, you guard the waterway and don’t let them escape by water. Zhuang Yan and Wei Jing, you two stay on standby at the government office. Once there is news, you can go out at any time!”

The few people had no objection to his arrangement.

Jin Tai was the strongest. He was the leader

of this operation, and he was the only one who was working seriously. In terms of hatred for the Tiandao League, no one in the royal capital could match the Zhang family. If this mission was successful, Jin Tai could get a lot of benefits from the Zhang family, so he would definitely work the hardest.

The rest of the people did not have any deep hatred for the Tiandao League. Even if the mission was successfully completed, they would not get a generous reward, so they were naturally not willing to work hard. Once they encountered danger, they would definitely put their own safety first.

Lin Xiu and Qin Wan returned to the inn, and she prepared to take a shower.

The weather in Ningshan Prefecture was hot and humid. Most people would sweat and feel sticky after staying outside for a while. For Qin Wan, who was used to living in the royal capital, this was of course a bit unbearable. She would take a shower every night.

When she was taking a shower, Lin Xiu would usually go out.

He walked out of the inn and disappeared in the bustling crowd.

At this time, in the southwest corner of Ningshan City, in a hidden courtyard, the constables had just come in to search and left without finding anything.

Soon, nearly ten figures suddenly appeared from the corner of the yard.

A Ke’s face was a little pale. It consumed a lot of her energy to be invisible for so many people at the same time.

At this time, the expressions of everyone in the Tiandao League were very serious.

Not long after they left, the yard was surrounded by government officials.

Now, there are still detectives searching again and again.

Obviously, the time and place of their gathering have been exposed long ago. What

the bird said is very likely true. There is a traitor among them.

Zheng Li has suffered from a traitor once, and is particularly sensitive to such things. He gritted his teeth and said, “Who is it!”

A middle-aged woman, with an angry look on her face, said, “If I know who the traitor is, I will crush his balls!”

At this time, everyone was in a heavy mood.

The gathering is top secret in the league. Only those above the helmsman, including the four hall masters and the two guardians, are qualified to know the time and place of the gathering.

This shows that the undercovers of the court or the powerful have infiltrated the helmsman of the Tiandao League.

Moreover, it is very likely that the traitor is among them.

Everyone here is their brother or sister who had fought side by side through life and death. They could not accept that any of them was an undercover agent of the imperial court.

In the depressing atmosphere, the old man surnamed Zhao broke the silence and said, “If it weren’t for the reminder of the bird, we would have fallen into the hands of the imperial court tonight. I wonder who saved us?”

The woman said, “He can actually use birds to pass messages. It’s unheard of.”

Zheng Li asked in confusion, “Could it be that there are also undercover agents among the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia court? Otherwise, how could he know the location of our gathering and the actions of the government?”

Although A Ke’s face was pale, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The girl looked up at her and said in surprise, “Sister A Ke, do you know who saved us?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to A Ke.

A Ke did not speak. At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone’s expression immediately became nervous.

Someone knocked on the door, and a man’s voice came from outside: “It’s me.”

Hearing this voice, Zheng Li’s eyes widened, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he said: “It’s Brother Xiaoyao, it’s Brother Xiaoyao who saved us!”

He walked quickly to the door and opened the courtyard door.

Several people wanted to stop him, but it was too late. They could only prepare for a fight, staring at the door.

A tall and handsome young man walked in from outside, closed the courtyard door, looked at the people in the courtyard, and said: “I’m glad everyone is okay.”

His eyes swept through the crowd and finally fell on a woman.

The woman was also looking at him.

The two people’s eyes met, and Lin Xiu smiled. He walked over slowly, stretched out his hand to her, and said: “Long time no see.”

Although his face and voice had changed, she still recognized him at a glance. A Ke gently held his hand and said: “Long time no see…”
