Chapter 184 Cloud Feather 43
Gong Ziyu did not kill Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan, but that does not mean that the two will live.
Wu Feng is ruthless and cold-blooded; any seemingly illogical survival will be magnified as a betrayal.
That's exactly what happened between Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan!
The leader of Wufeng was completely shrouded in heavy black clothes. He sat on the high platform, his cold gaze piercing through the layers of curtains as he looked down at the two people below who had been acupunctured. His eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent.
Not long ago, Situ Hong, the King of the South, also known as Ziyi of Wanhualou, sent word that Gong Hongyu, the wielder of the palace gate, and Gong Huanyu, the young master, had died for unknown reasons. Gong Ziyu had to urgently take over the position of wielder, and subsequently, all the brides who had infiltrated the palace gate were exposed.
These brides were assassins carefully selected and trained by Wu Feng, but they were exposed without doing anything after entering the palace, rendering Wu Feng's twenty years of hard work futile. One can imagine the anger in the heart of Wu Feng's leader.
She summoned several crows and berated them mercilessly, denouncing their incompetence and how their trained assassins were so useless, being discovered as soon as they entered the palace gates, thus ruining their plan to seize the Boundless Flowing Fire.
Just as she was getting angry, a shocking message arrived: Situ Hong, who was hiding in the Old Dust Valley, had been exposed and was now being hunted down by the palace officials.
With the palace gates relentlessly pursuing them, it was only a matter of time before Situ Hong was captured.
Situ Hong lived in seclusion in the Old Dust Valley for many years, never being discovered by the palace gates. She even became the confidante of Gong Ziyu, the current wielder of the palace gates. She was originally a clever move that Wu Feng had secretly orchestrated.
But now they've been exposed for no apparent reason. At the same time, Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian, whose identities have already been revealed, have been released by the palace gates.
The coincidence of these two events made it hard for the leader of Wufeng not to suspect that the two women had betrayed Situ Hong. Otherwise, given the extent of the palace's hatred for Wufeng, how could they possibly let two Wufeng assassins go?
However, she also had questions in her mind. Situ Hong's identity was a secret, and even few people in Wufeng knew about it. How did Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian, one a Mei and the other a Chi, know about it?
The leader of Wufeng couldn't understand it; she was deeply confused and frustrated!
The only thing she could understand was that her twenty years of hard work had vanished into thin air.
Life is short; how many twenty-year periods can one have?
She had sacrificed so much to obtain the Boundless Flowing Fire; giving up now was simply impossible.
But now she has entered old age and doesn't have another twenty years to squander.
Driven by this resentment, the leader of Wufeng was eager to eliminate the palace gates and seize the Boundless Flowing Fire.
However, perhaps due to his age, his mind wasn't as sharp as it used to be. After racking his brains for half a month, he still couldn't come up with a good solution. In a fit of anger, he simply summoned all the members of Wufeng and ordered them to quietly enter the Old Dust Valley, act on their own, and look for an opportunity to sneak into the palace gates.
……
At this point, Gong Ziyu also felt it was time to get rid of Wufeng.
So in the days that followed, Gong Ziyu got busy again, and incidentally got everyone else busy as well.
Gong Ziyu first checked on the progress of Gong Zishang's cannon and Divine Fire Flying Crow production, and then calculated when they could launch a major attack on Wufeng.
When he inquired about the progress of Gong Zishang's production that day, Gong Zishang, sporting an afro, kept complaining to him about the tight schedule and lack of manpower, saying that there was simply not enough time to produce the desired number of weapons.
Gong Ziyu smiled after hearing this and immediately dialed Jin Fan's number for her.
Faced with the allure of a beautiful woman, Gong Zishang, who was already exhausted, suddenly burst forth with boundless energy, feeling as if she had inexhaustible strength. She once again fought on the front lines of weapon production, causing productivity to more than double.
Having solved the problem of weapon production, Gong Ziyu then spurred on Gong Yuanzheng, the medical prodigy of the Gong Clan, urging him to expedite the production of various poisons and antidotes for unforeseen circumstances.
Finally, Gong Ziyu discussed the relocation of the three palaces in the back mountain with the three elders.
Now that the strange man has been eliminated, the people guarding the Flower, Snow, and Moon Palaces on the back mountain no longer need to stay in that small area.
Moreover, the back mountain is not a good place either; life there is hard, and the miasma is heavier than in the front mountain.
So, under the grateful gazes of the three elders, Gong Ziyu allocated three houses in the front mountain for the people of the Three Palaces to live in, and also solved the problem of re-employment for everyone who had been laid off.
As for Gong Shangjiao, he had already gone out to make money. After all, weapon making is a money-burning business. Without a large supply of funds, it simply cannot continue. So, the money-making expert Gong Shangjiao was back online.
