Chapter 763 The contending Wang Yun
“Faceplate?” Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard what Hassan said. “Why would you have them forge you a faceplate?”
Yan Liuyuan looked at Xiaoyu and said with a smile, “It’s because I’m too young, so I often lack an authoritative figure. The faceplate might help with stabilizing the authority of the imperial court.” In truth, he did not finish his explanation. Gods needed to portray a sense of mysteriousness, and since the grasslands needed a god now, he would be that god to them.
Xiaoyu looked at Yan Liuyuan. She wanted to say something to him but hesitated. In the end, she just straightened his collar and said, “I’ll go and brief Tsetseg on the things to watch out for on the journey. You have to come back safely from this expedition to the South. As long as you’re safe, nothing else matters.” “Mhm.” Yan Liuyuan nodded.
After that, Xiaoyu went out. Then Hassan came in respectfully and handed the black faceplate to Yan Liuyuan.
Yan Liuyuan saw the black faceplate was engraved with a ferocious face that looked very solemn and dignified. Yan Liuyuan looked at Hassan. “I’m happy. You can get back to your work.”
After Hassan left, Yan Liuyuan held the mask and took a close, long look at it. In the end, he sighed and put it aside.
Outside the main tent, the pounding of horse hooves sounded. Someone jumped off the horse and got down on one knee outside the tent. “Master, a Qing Consortium envoy is waiting outside. He said that he’s brought you what you need the most.”
Yan Liuyuan smiled. Although he did not know what the smart Qing Zhen would send him, he reckoned he was ready to make the trip to the South now.
Outside the Sacred Mountains, Wang Yun, the director of the Kong Consortium’s 2nd Military Intelligence Division, was rushing towards the black market in the South. Before he could reach the black market, he saw people who had set up camp 40 kilometers to the north of it.
The way the tents were set up looked really familiar.
When he got closer, Wang Yun realized that even the troops who had set up camp here looked really familiar.
Weren’t they his 200-odd subordinates? What were they doing here?!
When the sentry who was keeping watch from a hidden post outside the campsite spotted Wang Yun, he immediately came out of the forest and shouted in joy, “Sir, you’re back!”
Seeing that none of Wang Yun’s subordinates who had followed him were dead, the sentry was even happier. It looked like their commander’s operation had gone very smoothly this time. They didn’t even suffer any loss of personnel!
Wang Yun was confused when he saw the campsite. “Didn’t you all head into the mountains? Weren’t you all following me?”
The 200-odd subordinates who rushed out of the campsite were also confused. “Sir, didn’t you tell us to retreat? We found the mark you left behind.”
Wang Yun nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. This was probably the biggest mistake he had made ever since he joined the intelligence agency. He knew his comrades would not lie. Someone must have changed the marks he left behind, and it led them to retreat from the mountains.
There was only one thought in his mind right now. ‘Who the fuck did that?! You’re way too fucking horrible!’
However, Wang Yun did not have time to think about that now. He said, “Follow me back to the Kong Consortium immediately. We mustn’t trust anyone from the other intelligence divisions that we encounter on our way back. If anyone inexplicably approaches, get ready to fight immediately and kill without mercy.”
The final steps of a tightrope walk were the most dangerous. Now that Wang Yun had stolen the hard drive from Wang Wenyan, he had to use it to face his other two competitors.
It would definitely not be safe for them on the way back. When they left, everyone sent them off with a smile on their faces. Now that they wanted to go back now, it would probably be harder than reaching heaven.
Someone might try to kill him on his way back.
