1976. Chapter one thousand nine hundred seventy-six behind the scenes
Wumeng Branch in Bigang City.
In a quiet room.
Lin Zhong's eyes were slightly closed, and he was sitting cross-legged on a round futon, with wisps of white mist emerging from his head, forming three heart-sized air masses, which expanded and contracted with his breathing, as if they were alive.
Outside the quiet room, Zong Yue, Zhao Wei and other guards stood in silence.
Their waists were straight and their sharp eyes were scanning around, fearing that some unsighted guy would make noise here and affect the leader's daily practice.
As his skill gradually deepened, he could practice while walking, sitting or lying down. Daily meditation had little effect on Lin Zhong.
But Lin Zhong didn't want to change the good habits he had developed all along, because at this time, his heart was the calmest and his thinking was the sharpest.
All the events that happened in recent days passed through Lin Chong's mind like a movie.
At the beginning, Gong Yuanlong held a Hongmen Banquet in Yulouyuan and invited Lin Zhong there. The name was to resolve the conflict and shake hands to make peace, but in fact he was preparing to gather the power of Xu Weiyang, Zhao Chenglong, Song Xuan, Kong Lijia and other super powerful people to surround and kill him.
he.
Fortunately, Lin Zhong got wind of it in advance and reached a secret agreement with Xu Weiyang, which aborted Gong Yuanlong's conspiracy.
Moreover, he also used his tricks to force Gong Yuanlong to commit suicide and apologize through Chen Hanzhou, the head of the Wuji Sect.
In that battle, Lin Zhong could be said to have won a complete victory.
Not only did he eliminate Gong Yuanlong, a serious threat to his family, but he also suppressed the Wuji Sect and further consolidated his position. It was like killing three birds with one stone.
The only pity is that Kong Lijia and Song Xuan escaped.
Through the connections between Gong Yuanlong, Kong Lijia, and Song Xuan, Wu Meng followed the clues and discovered the true identity of White Eagle Federation spy Cheng Ailun.
When he was preparing to round up Cheng Ailun, the latter got the news from nowhere, left the capital through a secret channel, and fled madly towards the south.
Cheng Ailun fled all the way to Bigang City. He seemed to think that he was safe, so he became bold again and even appeared in public.
Later, the deputy leader Pang Jun took the initiative to ask Ying to lead a team to Bigang City to arrest people.
Unexpectedly, not long after Pang Jun arrived, the Bigang City branch alliance was attacked, causing heavy casualties, so that Lin Zhong had to come over personally to clean up the mess.
Lin Zhong always felt that behind all the events, there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands secretly controlling everything.
Although on the surface, Cheng Ailun seemed to be the instigator, Lin Zhong didn't think he had such great power that he could connect all directions and stir up the storm in just a few days.
Song Xuan and Kong Lijia will never obey Cheng Ailun's orders.
Therefore, Lin Zhong judged that Cheng Ailun was actually a chess piece just like Xu Hailong, Wang Mingsheng and others.
Who is the mastermind behind this?
In other words, who is behind the scenes?
What are their intentions?
Is this deliberate move really just to undermine the prestige of the Wu League and vent bad anger on behalf of Cheng Ailun? Is there a deeper conspiracy hidden?
Due to insufficient clues, many of Lin Zhong's questions remained unanswered.
Although Xu Hailong and Wang Mingsheng provided some valuable information, that information only lifted the fog in Lin Chong's heart a little bit.
"I have to prepare for the worst that could happen."
Lin Zhong muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, picked up the mobile phone placed on the coffee table next to him, and dialed a certain number.
at the same moment.
Lotus District, the top of a skyscraper hundreds of meters high.
Qinlong and Konghe stood side by side, standing on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the bustling city below, with thousands of lights in sight.
The two of them still covered their faces with black scarves. Their height, body shape, hair and even eyes were exactly the same, but no one would confuse them.
Because the two have completely different temperaments.
Controlling the Crane is calm and indifferent, while Capturing the Dragon is deep and cold. The former is like the clouds hanging high in the sky, while the latter is like the ice buried under the abyss.
"It's been...a long time."
Kong He suddenly let out a sigh, which was mixed with countless emotions.
Qin Long remained silent, as if he didn't hear Kong He's words.
"Brother, eighty years ago, this is where we went to sea, right?" Konghe had long been accustomed to Qinlong's silence, and continued minding his own business.
Qinlong's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly.
"Eighty years of great changes have made things and people different."
Kong He stretched out his right hand and pointed into the distance: "Back then, this was just a small town, poor and backward, but now, it has become like this. We have been wandering in a foreign land for too long."
An inexplicable fluctuation flashed through Qinlong's eyes, and he patted Konghe on the shoulder.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of my dead parents."
Kong He said in a cold tone: "Over the years, the scene of Du Huaizhen killing them has constantly appeared in my dreams. They told me in their dreams that I must avenge them."
"This revenge must be avenged!"
Qin Long finally spoke, and a dry and low voice came from under the black scarf, like two rocks rubbing against each other.
"However, it is rumored that Du Huaizhen has entered the state of forgetfulness. How can we two take revenge?"
Kong He shook his head and laughed at himself: "When Du Huaizhen was in power, we didn't even dare to step foot in Yanhuang. We could only wait for him to abdicate and retire before daring to come back. In the final analysis, we are always afraid of him."
Qin Long said word for word: "If the inner demons are not eliminated, the great road will not survive."
"Yes, Du Huaizhen is our inner demon. If we want to go further, we must kill him or resolve the resentment and fear he brings to us."
Konghe's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly: "Let's start with the martial alliance he established."
Qinlong nodded slowly.
At this moment, subtle footsteps came from behind the two of them. Cheng Ailun walked out of the shadows, clasped his fists respectfully towards the two of them and said, "Disciple pays homage to the two masters."
Konghe turned to Cheng Ailun and showed a gentle smile: "You did a good job, we are very satisfied."
"Disciples don't dare to be greedy for credit. It's all due to the two masters."
Cheng Ailun was startled. Instead of being happy, his words became more cautious: "The people have been sent out. What should the disciples do next?"
Konghe's expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "How many more people do you have available?"
"Although the Wu Meng's actions the night before caused the Far East Intelligence Office to lose many chess pieces, it did not completely shake the foundation of the Far East Intelligence Office."
Cheng Ailun told the truth: "If the master needs it, the disciple can launch a larger attack."
"No need."
Kong He waved his hand, then put away his smile and said expressionlessly: "Let your people spread some false information to divert the attention of the Wu League, prevent them from finding Pang Jun, and buy time for Song Xuan and Kong Lijia."
