”Although there are many streets in Qinlingjun City, there is only one way for Lu Shaoyou to welcome his bride to the wedding.”
Wang She pointed at the map on the desk. As he spoke, he marked a line along the longest and widest street from the Wuyang Gate to the Governor Mansion. Wuyang Gate was the front entrance of Qinlingjun City. The Governor Mansion and the Wuyang Gate were the exact ends of the straight street.
”When Lu Shaoyou comes to welcome his bride, there is no doubt he has to go from Wuyang Door Street. Once he has the bride's palanquin, he will definitely choose Zhenyang Door Street to return. The reason is obvious, both streets are the widest in Qinlingjun City. In the meantime, the two streets are Qinlingjun City's official routes. You see, the Lu Family was very picky in choosing the Mansion's location. It is quite near to these two streets. Therefore, either going out or into the city is very convenient. The road won't be long!”
”You are right. The Lu Mansion is not far from the Governor Mansion. If anything goes wrong, the Governor Mansion can take action quickly. But this makes our plan difficult, I don't want to lose my life here!”
It was Tu Sen who was complaining again. It was as if he had already freaked out since hearing the Governor Mansion would interfere with the issue. He first complained that Lei Xu didn't have any sense of honor among friends, that he had pushed his friends to the fiery pit, then thought he should simply quit and return back to his King of Hell Mountain Stronghold. But after a while he proposed a question asking whether Ma Tianchang would really interfere with the matter.
It was fine that he had so many doubts, but Junior Leopard couldn't stand him asking whether Ma Tianchang would actually interfere. He had been imagining that Ma Tianchang wouldn't do anything.
His illusion made Junior Leopard feel both amused and annoyed. Who was Ma Tianchang? He was Yunzhou's governor, and Miss Ma's father. Would he really sit on the bench when his daughter was robbed during her wedding? Even if he didn't really want his daughter to marry Lu Shaoyou, he would at least pretend. Moreover, how could he know who had kidnapped his daughter? To keep his daughter safe, he would no doubt search all over the city.
But Tu Sen was under the illusion that Ma Tianchang wouldn't interfere with this matter. Junior Leopard couldn't tell whether he was stupid or scared of Ma Tianchang.
After learning about Tu Sen's illusions, Junior Leopard was in even more awe of Governor Ma. It was a name that scared the second man in charge of the King of Hell Mountain Stronghold, one of the three famous bandits in Great Jin. It showed how Ma Tianchang had ability and prestige.
”It is because we are too close to the Governor Mansion that we have to take actions so quickly. We need to be swift and ruthless. And of course, we need to have a plan. Our plan has to be very thorough!”
Wang She continued, ”Now, let's see what the biggest problems are with our plan. There are basically three problems. The first one is Lu Shaoyou. I will deal with him myself. The second one is Gao Yulou!” His face turned gloomy when he mentioned Gao Yulou, ”Gao Yulou is a disciple of the Golden Lights Cave, Lu Shaoyou's Senior. He became the deacon at Mingyi School half a year ago. It is obvious that he is coming to protect his junior brother. Although his cultivation is one level lower than Lu Shaoyou, he is still a Level Seven expert. So he already has a sword Gang to protect him and fight against enemies. WuShuang, can you deal with him?”
”You want me to deal with Gao Yulou?!” Nian Wushuang squinted, her eyes were like two crescent moons. She replied directly, ”I won't do it!”
”Why?” Wang She became nervous as he noticed Nian Wushuang's facial expression. He knew she wasn't joking. ”There is nobody here who can deal with him except for you!”
”I don't care. How about I ambush the bridal chamber at the Lu Mansion? When the bride enters, I can bring her out. Why do we have to make things so complicated?!”
”That's a nice try. But it's only after the bride and groom have bowed to Heaven and Earth as part of a wedding ceremony that the bride will be sent to the bridal chamber. Once they have bowed to Heaven and Earth, they will become a couple. Even if we can kidnap the bride, the Mingyi School and the Lu Family will have something to gossip about. It's also not good for Governor Ma's reputation. Hence, we have to take action before they perform the wedding ceremony!”
”Well, how about I deal with Lu Shaoyou?!” Nian Wushuang suggested with a smile. Then she suddenly changed the subject as if something had occurred to her, ”Oops, sorry, I forgot that Lu Shaoyou is your target. Look at you! Your face is turning blue! Take it easy, take it easy. I will deal with someone else. I heard a few imperial court martial arts experts and experts from the Mingyi School are also coming. Let me deal with them. What do you think?”
”And then Mr. Peng, White Lotus and Old Brat, you guys can deal with Gao Yulou together. What do you think?”
The other three didn't reply right away. They exchanged glances instead. In the end, Peng Gongliang sighed lightly, ”If it is the last resort, we will accept it. But you have to realize that even though I am a Level Seven expert, I don't have Gang Qi after all. On the contrary, Golden Lights Cave is famous for its sword Gang. Even if the three of us collaborate together, we have no chance of defeating Gao Yulou!”
He hadn't refused Wushuang's idea directly, but he had analyzed the facts and explained the reasons. And most importantly, his analysis was irrefutable. Judging from the three's abilities, it was true they could barely win against Gao Yulou. So it wasn't a matter of winning or losing the battle, but that it would be a big hassle if the task failed.
”Wang She, why does it have to be me? You didn't know I was coming today. But Gao Yulou's presence was quite certain. You should have already had a plan to cope with him. Why do you have to drag me in?” ”I'm here to help. Not here to take the blame for others!” Nian Wushuang laughed coldly as she saw Wang She's embarrassed face.
Junior Leopard who was sitting beside them felt a flicker in his heart and reckoned in his mind. Why hadn't he thought of that? Wang She hadn't known Nian Wushuang would come. As a matter of fact, he'd been quite astonished to see Nian Wushuang appear. Since he hadn't known she was coming, she hadn't existed in his original plan. Now that she was here, he'd allocated her with the second most difficult guy to be dealt with, aside from Lu Shaoyou. Considering Gao Yulou's background carefully, it seemed as if the Wang She was actually making her a scapegoat.
”Why do you have to be so smart as a woman. You deserve to have been single for so long!” Wang She grumbled. It looked like he was complaining to himself, but everybody could hear his words.
Peng Gongliang and the other two inhaled a mouthful of cold air and pretended to be deaf, lowering their heads. As for Junior Leopard, nobody could see his face because he had a mask. But he also turned his head sideways. He stared at a cockroach on the wall, as if he could kill it with his gaze.
”Are you so happy that I am single?!” Nian Wushuang glanced at Wang She coldly, ”Believe it or not, I will find trouble with Lu Shaoyou right now. I will burn the Lu Mansion to ashes and kill that so called 'Moral Fighter' guy with my dagger!”
”Uh--!” Wang She's forehead started to sweat upon hearing her words. He smiled apologetically, ”Sister Wu Shuang, it's my fault, it's my fault. I was only joking with you. A lion doesn't catch mice, don't make yourself angry with people like me. Alright?”
”What's this 'don't be angry with people like you'? How do I dare to do that!” Nian Wushuang smiled grimly, ”Long bug, there's one thing that you have to be clear about. I'm not here to help you this time. I'm here because I want to help Lei keep an eye on you. I don't care what old scores you have with Lu Shaoyou or 'Moral Fighter'. But if you screw up Lei's matter because of your own old scores, don't blame me when I turn against you!”
”Helping Lei and me at the same time is two birds with one stone. You may rest assured that I won't mess things up!” Wang She said, ”Yes, I had a way to deal with Gao Yulou, but it wasn't so just and honorable!”
”Not just and honorable? What do you mean?”
”He has a mistress in Qinlingjun City who is pregnant with his child. I was planning to kidnap this woman and let Mr. Peng deal with him. Gao Yulou wouldn't dare use all his strength if his woman was there. Then the threat of Gao Yulou would be diminished. But to my surprise, you have come. Reasonably you won't agree with me using such an insidious method, so only you can deal with him. However, you don't want to do it. What am I to do!?”
