Chapter 604 The traitor will never die

Cao Erdan cultivated inside the Dragon Realm Tower, where one day was equivalent to seven days outside.

It is a form of secluded cultivation, which is more effective than cultivating in the outside world.

However, fearing that a tower of dragon energy condensed on flat ground would attract too much attention, he needed to find a secluded place and have Liu Jichang protect him.

This will help you calm down.

While he was busy refining pills and cultivating qi here, the wealthy families in the capital were not idle either!

……

Shangjing.

Shenghao Bath Center.

The bathhouse is huge, with a pool the size of a basketball court.

There was enough space inside for swimming, but only three people were seated there.

This is a private bathing area specially prepared for them by Shenghao Bathhouse.

The three men, naked and exposed to each other, were all looking sorrowful.

Normally, I would have already found several beautiful women to bathe with.

But not today, because I have many secrets to tell.

When they had secrets to discuss, they would either meet at the tea pavilion in the middle of the lake or right here.

Because the tea pavilion in the middle of the lake is clearly visible, no one around will be able to eavesdrop.

Since Wang Dong, a traitor among them, has been the subject of their conversations, they have moved to this location.

Not only was it obvious that no outsiders were eavesdropping, but they were all naked, and there wasn't even a place to put listening devices.

In this way, even if someone wants to betray you, they won't be able to obtain any substantial evidence against the other party!

They no longer really trust each other.

At this moment, everyone took off their clothes and sat in the pool, staring at each other in silence for a long time.

Huang Ting was the first to break the deadlock:

"Alas, I never imagined that Inoue Kawanishi and his daughter, Oto, would also perish! I have inside information from the police that these people were killed at the entrance of Hetang Village!"

Zhao Jingyu and Dong Zhenji had already heard him say that, and they both sighed at the same time.

Dong Zhenji looked at Zhao Jingyu with a hint of resentment, after all, it was this fat man who had dragged him into this mess.

Although Dong Zhenji was in an alliance with them before, he had no dealings with the Japanese.

This time, the involvement of the Japanese Black Wind Society is a completely different matter.

This is a crime of colluding with foreign powers.

If exposed, they will be executed without mercy!

Dong Zhenji asked a question:

"Old Zhao, things have come to this, what should we do?"

Zhao Jingyu looked at Huang Ting, since he was the only one among the three who had official information.

Huang Ting said, "I also heard that Cao Erdan found a USB drive on Inoue Kawanishi and his daughter, and has already handed it over to the Imperial Gate. I don't know if the Japanese have left any evidence against you. If it's about your cooperation, then the Imperial Gate can take action legitimately!"

Zhao Jingyu's forehead was covered in sweat.

I don't know if it was the heat from the hot water in the pool or the cold sweat from my anxiety.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked Huang Ting:

"If... we work on the Black Wind Society, instigate them to attack the Imperial Gate, and then secretly pass messages to the Imperial Gate, manipulating things to make the Imperial Gate focus all its attention on external threats, then we can help the Imperial Gate..."

"No, no, no!"

Before Zhao Jingyu could finish speaking, Huang Ting kept shaking his head:

"Now that things have come to this, do you think the Imperial Family is a fool? Besides, history shows that the Dragon Kingdom has always been better at suppressing internal strife than resisting external enemies. If we want to fight external enemies, we must first stabilize the internal situation!"

Dong Zhenji was terrified.

He interjected, "Or, we could go directly to the Imperial Gate, downplay our crimes, confess to something, say we were confused for a moment, and hope for leniency..."

"no!"

Zhao Jingyu and Huang Ting drank almost at the same time.

Zhao Jingyu's eyes widened, and he even had murderous intent towards Dong Zhenji.

"How could you say such ignorant things? You're downplaying the real issues. Do you think they'll agree to that? Besides, even if they don't kill you, they'll throw you in jail. Your property will be confiscated, and your beautiful wives and concubines will all be sleeping with other men. Even if you live, can you handle it?"

Dong Zhenji was practically out of the picture after hearing those words.

It's as if I can see myself imprisoned, my wife and mistress being intimately embracing my business rival...

"No, I can't take it!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Old Zhao, do you have any other good ideas to get out of this deadlock?"

Zhao Jingyu rubbed his temples.

I have a real headache.

The original alliance of elite families has been reduced to just the three of them.

Even if you don't like Dong Zhenji, you can't turn against him at this time.

You also need to comfort him!

"Since Su Yi killed the experts we sent, and the bodies of Shan Tieshou, Yang Tianshou, and others were nowhere to be found, but he did not directly raid our family or attack us, it can only mean one thing."

Dong Zhenji was genuinely oblivious at that moment.

They regarded Zhao Jingyu as their pillar of support, listening attentively with wide eyes.

Zhao Jingyu said, "That means Su Yi has not fully recovered, or he has not come up with any substantial evidence to question us. Otherwise, he would have taken advantage of the situation and eliminated us directly."

Dong Zhenji nodded in agreement.

He hoped it would be the same.

There's no going back now, after all.

If he could go back to the past, he would rather not have known Zhao Jingyu than form an alliance with him.

But Huang Ting, who was listening nearby, kept shaking his head:

"In my opinion, Su Yi has already gone on a killing spree, and he might not be afraid to touch us. When I was in the meeting yesterday, I could tell from the speaker's unfriendly expression that they hadn't stopped, but were waiting for something!"

Zhao Jingyu cursed Huang Ting inwardly: You old bastard, I knew this matter couldn't be easily let go. I was just comforting Lao Dong, and you still scared him!

Sure enough, after hearing Huang Ting's words, Dong Zhenji became worried again.

Zhao Jingyu reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

If we weren't both naked, I would have given him a big hug to soothe his unstable emotions.

"Old Dong, don't worry. As long as we work together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome. Next, we'll send more people to gather information about the Huangmen and Cao Erdan's movements. On the other hand, we also need to recruit more experts!"

What can Dong Zhenji say now? He's already on a pirate ship and there's no getting off.

I could only nod in agreement.

……

Meanwhile, in Ying Kingdom at this time...

There was one person whose heart was even more chaotic than these others.

On Kame Island, Sakurai Kuranosuke sits by the sea.

A pair of withered hands swiftly played on the guqin.

He played "Listening to the Tide of the Blue Sea" to its fullest extent. During the climax, you couldn't even see how fast his hands were moving; it was all afterimages!

The music grew faster and faster.

Behind him, four servants dressed in black kimonos, unable to withstand the sound of the koto, kept retreating, trying their best to calm themselves down.

Sakurai's sonic manipulation was directional, heading straight for the seawater. If these four people hadn't been standing behind him, they would have been torn apart by the sonic waves long ago.

The sea, dozens of feet away, was vast and turbulent, rising and falling with the sound of the zither.

Sakurai Kuranosuke's heart was also pounding.

Since Cao Erdan appeared, the Black Wind Society has been suffering repeated defeats.

Not only did several elders die at Cao Erdan's hands, but even his best assistant, Chief Elder Inoue Kawanishi, perished in a foreign land. How could he not make that old devil Sakurai Zang quiet down?

Now, even the entire Black Wind Society is beginning to feel uneasy.

Everyone knows that the Dragon Kingdom's royal family has killed many experts from the Black Wind Society.

Prime Minister Ruiko Umekawa called to inquire, hoping that Sakurai Kuranosuke could handle the matter properly.

"Clang clang clang... Clang..."

Amidst the torrential downpour of music, a string suddenly snapped.

Sakurai Kuran was furious.

Suddenly, he shattered the zither with a single palm strike.

He stood up and roared to the sky.

The four samurai servants beside him were so frightened that they turned and ran away.

"You bastards! You're all cowards, what use are you to me!"

Sakurai Zang waved his hand and grabbed out in succession, using his finger strength to pull the four samurai back in mid-air.

They were thrown into the air one by one, heading straight for the sea.

Just as the four of them fell into the sea, Sakurai Kuranosuke clasped his hands together and raised them above his head.

He chopped down forward as if worshipping Buddha.

A sharp bolt of lightning shot over dozens of feet, cleaving the seawater in two.

"crash"

The seawater was churned up to a height of ten feet, almost revealing the bottom.

The four people were shattered by the force of the palm strike and scattered among the fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs in the sea.

The sea returned to calm, and Sakurai Kuranosuke finally calmed down.

I sighed and gazed at the other side of the ocean.

"Dragon Kingdom... you will be in my hands sooner or later!"
