Chapter 229 It’s Too Late at Night
The spring rain is like sleeping, and the fishing fire on the river never stops.
Around the fishing port pier, a group of disciples of the Mo family were patrolling, guarding the order of the pier.
This is a large fishing port. Many fishermen around it rely on the several piers of the fishing port to eat, and thousands of laborers gather here.
But for the Mohists, the port had a different purpose. This includes transporting supplies and delivering messages.
In South Korea, except for Nanyang, which is crisscrossed by mountains and ridges, the rest of Xinzheng, Yangzhai and other places are built on plains on the side of the river system.
Shipping and material transportation are very important.
So after taking over this fishing port, the Mo family began to upgrade the port's equipment, build some specially modified fishing boats, rent them or sell them to fishermen.
These fishing boats can usually catch fish, and when necessary, they can also transport supplies for the Mo family.
In addition, fresh fish caught from the river can also be supplied to nearby cities.
Several warehouses at the dock are being renovated. The original ones are very old, narrow, leaky, and unable to store goods.
What makes the Mohist disciples cautious is that this stronghold is storing a batch of materials. Soon after, it will be transported to the machine nest in Sanchuan to make the machine beast.
Therefore, the Mohist disciples were very vigilant and prepared for possible attacks.
A bird chirped, which seemed very abrupt among the sound of rain.
The Mohist disciple who was patrolling raised his head and didn't notice anything strange at first, but then, a strange sound came from the stronghold not far away.
"It's coming from the warehouse!"
The disciples of the Mo family were very vigilant, and rushed over with their swords open.
The manager of this stronghold, the leader of Mo Xia who was born in Lian Yun Feiqi, has been there for a long time. Opposite him, a rickety figure showed its fangs.
"The Mo family's defense is so lax, it really shows me."
"Thank you for your help."
The leader of Mo Xia was not without much anger, although he didn't understand why the other party wanted to help them.
The disciples of the Mo family rushed over and surrounded the entrance of the warehouse. They saw a warm corpse lying on the ground. In his hand, he also held a fire folder and something to start the fire.
"It's okay, continue patrolling."
"promise!"
The leader of Mo Xia gave an order, and soon, the rickety figure was gone.
The opponent's appearance is strange, but his speed is extremely fast.
"The hidden bat in Southern Xinjiang?"
The leader of Mo Xia murmured, although he saw the identity of the person coming, he didn't mean to be troublesome.
Xinzheng, Mohist Guild Hall.
Zhao Shuang was a little surprised when he received the abnormal situation reports from twenty Mo family strongholds at the same time.
"It seems that Ye Mu's reaction is quite intense!"
Nightfall's actions are very secretive. Although most of Nightfall's sabotage activities have been prevented, the damage they caused is still considerable.
"Strange, why is there such a big movement suddenly in the night?"
Concubine Yan stood beside Zhao Shuang, holding a piece of fruit, very consciously. Ever since she came back from Xu Di, Zhao Shuang didn't dare to let her meet Wei Zhuang at the same time.
Of course, Zhao Shuang did not dare to mention the failure of the mission.
For Dong Jun of the Yin Yang family, isn't it just like blowing up a house?
Can the house-explosion of Dongjun of the Yin-Yang family be called a house-explosion?
What's more, Zhao Shuang is afraid that this guy will get angry and blow up the present-day Mohist guild hall and the former Zilan Pavilion. He really has no place to reason.
"Such an intensive operation, such a sophisticated plan, the key is, this sudden blow, it seems that a huge threat has been felt inside the night."
"threaten?"
Zhao Shuang glanced at Concubine Yan. There was some confusion on the girl's delicate face.
"Cao Jiu is loyal to King Han on the surface, but secretly colludes with Ye Mu. The military power in his hands has now been taken over by Han Yu. Isn't this enough to make Ye Mu vigilant?"
Concubine Yan was young but smart. When Zhao Shuang said this, she quickly understood.
"In the past year, Ye Mu's excessive expansion has aroused the vigilance of King Han. Therefore, he let his son take over, which is equivalent to taking back the military power to the royal family. And Ye Mu believes that you are behind all this. of."
Concubine Yan quickly analyzed all this.
"Ye Mu attacked twenty strongholds of the Mo family at the same time in order to block your East Vietnam batch of supplies. Because they know that as long as these twenty strongholds are damaged, then the huge batch of East Vietnam supplies cannot be destroyed by you. Scattered to various places. When the time comes, Ji Wuye will still have a chance to intercept them when he reaches Xu Di."
Concubine Yan spoke so eloquently in front of her, Zhao Shuang was a little surprised. After being in contact with her for so long, he has never seen such Concubine Yan.
For a long time, Zhao Shuang had naturally abandoned Yan Fei's role as the master of the Yin Yang family and ignored her talents.
But then, Concubine Yan said something that made Zhao Shuang's hair stand on end.
"Would you like me to help you?"
Zhao Shuang's face became a little ugly. The last time he asked you to help, he blew up someone else's mansion. If I ask you to help again this time, why don't you blow up the entire military camp?
"It's just such a trivial matter that Dong Jun of the Yin Yang family takes action. It's really overkill."
Concubine Yan liked hearing what Zhao Shuang said and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"It's good that you know. After all, there are so many people in this world who want me to help!"
"I've sent people to deal with it, don't worry."
"Since I helped you, shouldn't it be time to repay the favor you owe me?"
Although Zhao Shuang didn't know how Concubine Yan had the shame to say this, he had always been a considerate and gentle person.
"Okay, how do you want me to pay it back?"
When Concubine Yan heard this, she was overjoyed.
"You go to the room I reserved and wait for me. Here is the key to the room."
With that said, Concubine Yan handed over the hotel's copper key, seemingly prepared.
Zhao Shuang looked up at the sky outside the window, with a troubled expression on his face.
"This is not good, it's still broad daylight, why don't we wait until night?"
"It's too late tonight."
Concubine Yan was quite eager and pushed Zhao Shuang up.
"I'll go ahead and meet you at the inn in half an hour."
After Concubine Yan finished speaking, her figure flashed away and disappeared into the house.
Zhao Shuang looked at the house key in his hand and scratched his head. Are you so anxious?
Zhao Shuang took off his mask and changed into ordinary clothes. After all, he couldn't go there wearing the attire of the leader of the Mo family.
Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous.
After changing his clothes and preparing his belongings, Zhao Shuang carefully slipped out of the Mo Family Guild Hall.
When Zhao Shuang, who had changed his appearance, saw the sky, the sunlight was very dazzling.
Coming out of the alleyway, the huge flow of people coming towards him made him feel like a new man for some reason, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.
"It's really hard for me!"
