Chapter 167 The Growth of Ye Changfeng
Zhang Yu still felt guilty. No matter what, letting the enemy break in was a grave sin.
Su Luo stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "By the way, look at this thief's build. Can you find any privates in the army who look similar?"
Zhang Yu paused for a moment, glanced at the short, centipede-like figure, and nodded subconsciously: "Yes... does Young Master want someone to disguise themselves as him?"
"That's not difficult, but the fact that he was able to break into the village means he must be quite skilled..."
If Su Luo wanted to find someone to disguise themselves as a short centipede and enter the Si Nan Marquis's residence, it would be very difficult, and they would easily be exposed.
Su Luo said calmly, "It doesn't matter... as long as they look alike, that's fine."
Zhang Yu accepted the order and had the man come out to put on the short centipede-patterned clothes. Su Luo gave him a few instructions, telling him to be careful, and then sent him away from Xiaoyun Village.
He went straight to the residence of the Marquis of Sinan.
The next morning, when Su Luo got up, there were already people waiting outside.
Upon arriving at the reception room, they discovered that it was one of Ye Changfeng's attendants, nicknamed Monkey Three.
Upon seeing Su Luo, Monkey Three immediately bowed and greeted him, "Young Master Su Luo!"
Su Luo smiled and looked at Hou San'er, asking, "No need for formalities. Now that you're here, I suppose the plan between you and your young master has almost been completed?"
Monkey Three nodded and said, "Reporting to Young Master Su Luo, you have returned to Qingzhou and have successfully made contact with the Mo family, the general of Qingzhou, through the Heavenly Snow!"
"Furthermore, the young master has already explained to the Mo family that the Marquis of Sinan has been acting recklessly in Linshui County, causing widespread resentment among the people, which is why they have rebelled!"
"Young Master also explained to the young master of the Mo family that Tian Shang Xue was almost attacked by the Su family this time... Therefore, the Mo family agreed that as long as we can supply Tian Shang Xue, no matter what happens in Linshui County, they will not send troops within half a month!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo finally smiled.
His eyes gleamed. "Not bad! Your young master is becoming more and more reliable!"
"The blueprint I outlined for him back then... he has accomplished it all! Your young master is truly making me admire him more and more!"
From Shuiyun Town to Wanhai City, Linshui County is now in complete chaos.
But strangely, apart from Su Changsheng's Xue family in Taishan, it seemed that no one else was helping to quell the rebellion...
Even the city lord of Feiyun City remained inactive.
The Xie family, who used to be very powerful in the Feiyun City area, seemed to know nothing about the turmoil outside and kept themselves completely out of the public eye!
The reason is simple: Su Luo had already planned this with Ye Changfeng when he left Shuiyun Town!
Since the goal is to take over Shuiyun Town, the previous plan of gradual encroachment is no longer applicable!
We must find a force that can restrain the Su family!
The Su family is not only dominant in Linshui County, but also backed by the Xue family... The Xue family is a powerful family in the capital!
Moreover, the family's power and influence are akin to that of a regional governor!
Restraining the Su family isn't difficult, but having the guts to deal with the Xue family behind them... there's only one in the entire Qingzhou!
The Mo family!
The Mo family defeated the Si family a few years ago, even taking over the position of General of Qingzhou, and seizing control of several mines in Qingzhou!
This clearly demonstrates the Mo family's confidence!
If the Mo family is willing to resist the Xue family, then... no matter how turbulent the rebellion in Linshui County may be, if he doesn't send troops, no one will dare to send troops!
The Xue family has sent troops?!
That's a matter for the Xue family; it has nothing to do with politics!
So, how exactly do we get the Mo family involved? Besides, the Mo family is Su Luo's enemy, and they have a blood feud with Si Mingyu!
If it's just a simple collaboration, then that's unacceptable to Su Luo!
After all, cooperation means profit... Su Luo didn't want the Mo family to benefit, especially since they would have to deal with them later.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they decided to first present the snow from the sky and have Ye Changfeng step forward to say that they wanted to cooperate with the young master of the Mo family.
The young master of the Mo family was all talk and no action, but he could still tell how much profit Tian Shang Xue (a business venture) was worth, so he immediately agreed to the two conditions.
One is to help Ye Changfeng become the heir of the Ye family.
Another option is to temporarily prevent the Mo family from sending troops to suppress the rebellion, and let the Su family suffer some hardship.
Several days have passed, and no one has come to attack Shuiyun Town again. Wanhai City only has a few thousand soldiers from the Xue family...
These were truly the work of Su Luo and Ye Changfeng.
And things went unexpectedly smoothly, so Ye Changfeng had Hou San'er tell Su Luo everything.
Let Su Luo do whatever she wants.
The current Ye Changfeng is not like he was when he first met Su Luo, hesitant and constrained by many things.
On the contrary, he made full use of all his abilities.
After finishing speaking, Monkey Three added, "Young Master Su Luo, although everything went smoothly, the young master also said... the young master of the Mo family has limited say, and at most, there will only be half a month of peace."
"Young Master Su Luo, you should stop now."
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Su Luo's eyes. Only half a month?!
There isn't enough time to develop a musket!
Su Luo looked at Hou San and said, "Go back now and tell your young master... if necessary, he can reveal his trump card!"
"The Mo family has so many mines, but they lack a method for refining steel. If we were to give the Mo family's young master the hundred-refined steel... he would be incredibly excited!"
"At that time, the Mo family will naturally not take the small Su family too seriously!"
"Monkey Three, let your young master put in a little more effort. He must keep the Mo family in check for a month... After a month, great things will be on the horizon!"
Upon hearing this, Monkey Three nodded, and then recounted what had happened after Ye Changfeng left Shuiyun Town, which made Su Luo nod repeatedly.
Ye Changfeng is indeed a talented guy; I wasn't wrong about him back then. He's been incredibly motivated lately...
Su Luo was very satisfied with Ye Changfeng.
……
While Monkey Three was talking to Su Luo, Deng Shan, a first-class private of the Yanhuang Army disguised as a short centipede, had already arrived at the Marquis of Sinan's residence.
"Has the master returned home?"
Seeing Deng Shan's pale face, the servants of the Marquis's residence asked, "Has something happened?"
Following Su Luo's instructions, Deng Shan snorted and said, "What else could happen? Tell the Marquis that Su Luo is nothing to worry about!"
"But behind him are several powerful martial arts masters who are quite troublesome!"
"I was careless this time and failed to dodge, I almost got killed... I'll go into seclusion for a while and recuperate for a month before I come back to take Su Luo's life!"
After saying that, he turned and left the Marquis's residence.
Upon hearing this, the servants from the Marquis's residence tried several times to stop them, but ultimately remained silent...
After thinking for a moment, he went to Su Changsheng's study and relayed Deng Shan's words verbatim.
"Sure enough!"
Su Changsheng took a deep breath: "Su Luo really does have a mysterious force supporting him!"
