Chapter 510: Chapter 124: The Big Fish in Luoshui County, New Harvest! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!!)_2
From then on, the inside and outside of the room were completely separated.
Hong Minghu said, “I believe everyone here is very curious about why I asked you all to co today.”
“Indeed, I am curious!” Li Changkong, who had arrived late, was the first to speak. “Residence Master, just say what you want to say!”
“See for yourselves!” Hong Minghu took out several sheets of white paper from his person and flung them towards Jiang Ning and the others, the papers instantly scattering.
Each sheet of white paper precisely floated to each person’s face.
Jiang Ning raised his hand to catch a corner of the paper coming towards him, and couldn’t help but marvel at Hong Minghu’s control over his Inner Breath.
According to what he knew, Hong Minghu beca a Fifth Grade, achieving a sort of ethereal solidity in his Inner Breath through the use of external objects.
However, at this mont, Hong Minghu’s manipulation of Inner Breath was extrely delicate, not at all like soone who had reached this level through relying on external ans.
“Impressive indeed!” Jiang Ning inwardly sighed, then his gaze fell upon the white paper in his hands, scanning over it rapidly.
A mont later,
he understood the purpose of Hong Minghu summoning him and the others here.
Just as he had previously guessed, Hong Minghu had indeed caught a big fish.
A fish big enough to grant him a promotion and a fortune.
The County Lord of Luoshui County, Li Hong, was a mber of the God Worship Sect, and not just a mber, but the Vice Sect Hierarch.
At this mont, Jiang Ning also understood why the County Lord Li Hong hadn’t made any fuss after the arrival of the Inspection Office.
No wonder the God Worship Sect’s statues had been allowed in the City God Temple to gather offerings.
All the reasons were because County Lord Li Hong belonged to the God Worship Sect, and his status was extrely high, being the Vice Sect Hierarch.
Shortly thereafter,
Hong Minghu noticed everyone had finished reading and finally spoke up.
“Colleagues, the operation this ti is simple, you all will guard my flank later, and together we will arrest County Lord Li Hong.”
“As long as we can capture him alive and bring him to justice, it will be a great ritorious deed. Capturing Li Hong, the Vice Sect Hierarch of the God Worship Sect alive, would be enough to get all of us and a promotion.”
The next mont,
Li Changkong slamd his hand on the desk and stood up.
“A real big fish indeed!”
“I’m not interested in promotion, but I am very interested in rits!”
“The Martial Saint Mansion is no stranger to good things!”
“Whether or not I can grasp power heavily depends on the resources distributed by the Martial Saint Mansion!”
Hearing this, everyone nodded slowly.
Ye Qiu, however, was looking at Jiang Ning.
“Brother Li’s words remind of Brother Jiang!”
“Brother Jiang was able to grasp Sword Force during the entrance examination for the Mansion, it truly is enviable!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense.
Li Changkong then rembered that, being a direct descendant of the Li family, adept in both internal and external disciplines, he was still pursuing the mastery of force in order to be qualified to step into Martial Arts Fourth Grade in the future.
Yet Jiang Ning, who had grown up in this remote county, had already mastered a kind of force early on.
This made him feel slightly disheartened.
At this mont,
Hong Minghu spoke again: “I believe colleagues still have doubts in their minds. Here I have the brief evidence that Commander Shangguan and Commander Fan have investigated over the past few months, and you can take a look.”
Having said that, the two commanders, a man and a woman, who had not appeared for a long ti, stood up, ready to distribute the brief evidence they had prepared.
Just at this mont,
Li Changkong suddenly spoke out.
“There’s no need for that!”
“Let’s just take action!”
“If we’re wrong, then at worst we’ll apologize!”
“As the saying goes, the essence of military action is speed, and now if we dilly-dally and the news leaks, causing County Lord Li Hong to flee, then our loss will be huge!”
Seeing this, Ye Qiu also slowly stood up.
“Residence Master, Brother Li has a point, it’s better to take action now to prevent lengthy delays from causing issues.”
On the side,
Jiang Ning remained silent, yet his interest was piqued.
Vice Sect Hierarch of the God Worship Sect.
If County Lord Li Hong really held that identity, then it was truly a case of finding what he sought without effort.
He had been looking to find other hideouts of the God Worship Sect, in order to try to absorb points of Divinity and the authority of the Blood and Flesh God.
And now, right here in Luoshui County, a big fish was hiding.
If Hong Minghu’s news was true, then he might have a major windfall.
At the sa ti,
seeing the attitudes of Li Changkong and Ye Qiu, Hong Minghu had no choice but to nod.
“Fine! Then we’ll take action!”
“As for the consequences, I will bear them alone.”
…
After a short while,
after a brief discussion and task distribution, everyone quietly followed Hong Minghu out of the conference hall.
Hong Minghu took the lead himself, with everyone closely following.
Outside the house, the snow fell thickly, quickly burying their footprints.
The task assigned to Jiang Ning was simple: to stand alone on a high building and use archery to block County Lord Li Hong’s routes of escape.
The others were to provide flanking support, with Hong Minghu being the one who would actually make the move.
A Fifth Grade, in the eyes of the entire Luoshui County, was a unique existence.
Of course, this was because he was not aware of Jiang Ning’s current strength, and did not know that Jiang Ning, like him, had officially entered the ranks of Fifth Grade.
As for this rit, Jiang Ning had no intention of competing.
The Mansion still owed him the rit of safeguarding the city single-handedly and quelling the Black Mountain Army’s rebellion.
In addition, there were still a million Contribution Points that had not yet been distributed.
In the short term, he was not lacking in rits.
Therefore, he had no need to vie for the chief rit that belonged to Hong Minghu; it was enough for him to have a share.
Sotis, cooperation leads to mutual wins, and hoarding everything for oneself is not a sustainable way to proceed.
Moreover, being too prominent might not necessarily be a good thing.
Everyone walked in the snow, with the heavy fall of snow fluttering down silently, swallowing their sounds.
…
On the way,
Ye Qiu’s figure flashed, appearing beside Jiang Ning.
