Chapter 70: The Thousand Rocks Army Sets Out

When the elders of the tribe were in trouble,
Shi Jie came over with a thin middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked a little pale, as if he was unwell, but he still had an aura of authority.

"That's enough. Shut up."

Seeing that Yan Wu was still nagging in front of the clan elders, the middle-aged man's expression darkened and he slapped Yan Wu on the head.

Yan Wu's tall figure trembled and turned around: "Dad, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man glared at him without saying anything. He walked directly to the elder and said, "Elder, I didn't think highly of this kid."

The elder also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're here."

This thin middle-aged man is Yan Wu's father, the uncle Shi Jie mentioned.

He is also the real person in charge here.

His arrival directly ended the crisis that was about to break out.

Even the indignant treasure-stealing group quieted down.

It can be seen that this middle-aged man has enough prestige here.

“Master Yan, today’s incident…” Someone from the treasure-stealing group came out with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Regardless of whether someone really stole something or not, the treasure-stealing group would not admit it anyway, so even if they were acting, they had to act justified.

The middle-aged man glanced at the treasure-stealing group, forced a smile, and waved his hand: "Brother, no need to say more. My son was impulsive today. Maybe someone has dirty hands, but I definitely can't beat you to death with a stick."

The middle-aged man had cold eyes, but a soothing expression on his face: "We can't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel..."

He initially said that his son was impulsive, but in the end he was determined that it was a group of treasure thieves who committed the theft.

But the middle-aged man was smart. He did not say that all the treasure-stealing groups were involved, but instead defined it as a small number of people with dirty hands.

Of course, the word "dirty hands and feet" is somewhat subtle for the treasure-stealing group.

It seems that Yan Wu was impulsive, but in fact, Yan Wu was picked out and the matter was turned into an internal matter of the treasure-stealing group, which had nothing to do with the survivors of the Salt.

When the survivors of the Salt Sect leave, this incident will naturally become the fuse for unrest within the treasure-stealing group.

"How about this, we won't get involved in what happens next, and you guys can handle it yourselves. Anyway, find out the bad apple first, and don't ruin the relationship between us."

In just a few words, the middle-aged man turned the conflict between the Salt Survivors and the Treasure Stealing Group into a conflict within the Treasure Stealing Group itself.

Then he gave Yan Wu a warning look: "You good-for-nothing, take him back quickly and don't come here again."

Yan Wu curled his lips, but did not have the courage to refute his father. He called his men, picked up his belongings and left.

After he took people away, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Wang Hao quietly walked to Shi Jie, and the two exchanged glances. The plan was successful.

That’s right, bringing out the person in charge to resolve the crisis is part of the plan.

Neither Wang Hao nor Shi Jie thought of using this theft incident to cause a direct fallout between the treasure-stealing group and the salt survivors.

No matter how this matter develops, it will definitely not end in a fight. The only thing that will happen is that the treasure-stealing group will suffer a great loss.

The most likely possibility is that the treasure-stealing group will take a step back and hand over a few unlucky guys as scapegoats.

Once the scapegoat dies, the matter will be over. At most, the treasure-hunting group that used the scapegoat will be resentful, but the other treasure-hunting groups will be indifferent.

But now, it seems that the person in charge has suppressed the matter, but in fact, the resentment within the treasure-stealing group has not been resolved, and Yan Wu and others have not yet gotten rid of their resentment.

Many treasure-stealing groups felt that the Salt Survivors were framing them.

And with the seemingly soothing actions of the person in charge, can't the leaders of the treasure-stealing group see that he is trying to sow discord?

It's easy to tell that the treasure-stealing gang is bad but not stupid.

Therefore, the goal of sowing discord between the treasure-stealing group and the survivors of the salt has been achieved.

The main reason why Shi Jie brought the middle-aged man here was to gain the trust of the remaining people of Yan.

In this farce, Yan Wu was violent and impulsive, and the elders of the clan found it difficult to settle the matter. Only Yan Jie (Shi Jie) thought of asking the person in charge to come, which was a very eye-catching performance.

Yan Jie (Shi Jie)'s stance is equally radical, but he can remain calm and ask the person in charge to calm the situation, which shows that he has a sense of the overall situation.

In this way, Yan Jie (Shi Jie) can take this opportunity to enter a more core circle.

Wang Hao and Shi Jie's plan was to provoke a conflict, sow the seeds of discord, and give Shi Jie a push at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

With Yan Wu's departure, the confrontation here was resolved, but the treasure-stealing group was in turmoil.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, some treasure-hunting groups have begun to accuse each other.

The person in charge and the elders did not stay, and left with Shi Jie. Wang Hao watched them leave, then glanced at the quarreling treasure-stealing group and shook his head in disdain. The treasure-stealing group was indeed not worthy of reuse.

The leaders of the treasure-stealing gangs definitely saw the instigation, but without external pressure, they chose to watch the infighting among the treasure-stealing gangs, which they did not see through.

Wang Hao returned to his thatched hut silently, trying his best to keep silent.

……

Return to the original Qianyan military camp,

Number 3 gradually emerged.

After Wang Hao ordered her to notify Pan Lie for support, No. 3 set off without stopping.

There was not even a break in between.

Finally, it only took two days and two nights to reach the Qianyan military camp.

Without alerting the Qianyan Army guarding the camp, No. 3 quietly entered the camp.

The last time Wang Hao stayed at Qianyan Military Camp, No. 3 had met Pan Lie.

After wandering around the camp for a while, she found the other person.

"who?"

As soon as No. 3 entered Panlie's vicinity, the general of the Qianyan Army immediately became alert. The surrounding rock elements continued to gather, and the heavy force turned into pressure, suppressing the vicinity of Panlie.

Number Three no longer hid and revealed his figure.

Now the guards around Pan Lie were in a panic. Someone had actually touched the general. This was a huge dereliction of duty.

Seeing No. 3 showing up, Pan Lie frowned: "You are the one next to that guy..."

He has a good memory. Even though they haven't met for two years, he still remembers Wang Hao.

"Oh, I remember now. You are Wang Hao, right? You are the person Ningguang sent to Wang Hao."

Pan Lie looked as if he remembered it.

Number Three still had no expression on her face. Of course, she was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see her expression.

"He asked me to deliver a message. People from the Yinyuan Society have gathered a group of people in Mingyun Town. They are refining explosives and preparing to blast the salt in the ground."

Number Three's voice was cold, but the news he spoke was somewhat explosive.

"Exploding the salt of the earth?"

Even though Pan Lie had been through hundreds of battles, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of absurdity.

"Those old salts are crazy?"

Putting aside the question of whether it is reasonable to blast the salt underground, just the amount of explosives needed to blast the salt underground is not an easy task to handle.

Number Three's voice was still cold and clear: "Before I set out, the General Affairs Department's spies lurking in Mingyun Town had already found out that the people from the Yinyuan Society had prepared at least two warehouses of explosives."

What she meant was that if they didn't hurry up, others might have already started taking action.

Pan Lie's expression condensed: "I understand."

Then he turned to the guards around him and said, "Go and notify everyone, gather them urgently, and recruit more..."

"Forget it. The people from the Silver Origin Society may have left spies here. Let's not recruit adventurers."

Many times, when the Qianyan Army encircles and suppresses some low-level enemies, it will recruit some adventurers to cooperate with them.

Although the discipline of adventurers is average, most of them have specialties and are very useful in some areas.

But this time when going to stop the Yinyuan Society, Panlie was worried that there might be spies left by the other side among the adventurers.

"Gather the troops and set out tonight. Adjutant, send out a notice saying that there are traces of the treasure-stealing group at Yaoguang Beach and that the Qianyan Army has gone out to wipe out the treasure-stealing group."

In order to prevent any spies from noticing that something was wrong, Pan Lie ordered the forging of traces of a non-existent treasure-stealing group.

From Guiliyuan Qianyan Military Camp to Yaoguang Beach, the road is actually the same as Mingyun Town.

In this way, the movement trajectory of the Qianyan Army will be hidden.

That night,

The Qianyan Army assembled. In fact, the information they received was that they were going to wipe out the treasure-stealing group at Yaoguang Beach.

Only a few close guards around Pan Lie knew the real situation.

The Qianyan Army set out quickly, attracting a lot of attention, and the adjutant also posted the news.
