Chapter 643: Chapter 644: Time to Act_1

"Sure," Mo Wenxuan didn’t dare to bother Nan Feng too much, and said, "I’ll go back first, remember to be careful these days, and don’t move around too much."

"Okay!"

Nan Feng stopped talking, so Mo Wenxuan didn’t dare to say anything else either, and reluctantly left.

At the end of the street corner, a man in white was standing there, watching Mo Wenxuan’s departing figure indifferently, and then ordered the butler Yan who was behind him: "Send someone to find out about that man, where he lives, and what his identity is now."

"Understood, gang leader."

...

Evening.

At the docks of the Provincial City, a figure in white boarded a two-story ship.

Not too long after, the ship set sail, and as it was approaching the center of the river, a pigeon flew in from the north and gracefully landed on the ship, stopping on the mast in front of Long San.

Long San took the pigeon, untied the string on its foot, and opened the note, which was blank.

Ye Ge had said that if a blank note was received, it meant that things were going smoothly.

He would be back soon!

Tearing the note to pieces and scattering it on the river surface, he stayed a while longer before instructing the boatman to dock the ship.

However, as soon as they reached the dock, a Hall Master from one of the branches came to report: "Gang leader, we have investigated the man you wanted information on. His name is Mo Wenxuan, he is seventeen years old, and comes from the same hometown as Lady Nan. He recently passed his civil service exams and now resides at the Academy in the Provincial City, where all the scholars preparing to go to the capital for exams stay."

"Is there anything else? Is it just that simple, being from the same hometown?" Long San asked.

"There is nothing else, the two of them don’t have much contact, just meet occasionally, just a normal relationship between townsfolk," the Hall Master reported.

"Okay, I see," Long San was ready to disembark.

But then the Hall Master suddenly added: "Gang leader, tonight, while following Mo Wenxuan, I spotted two suspicious individuals."

"Suspicious individuals?"

"Haven’t we been tracking a group of so-called mountain bandits lately? Although we never stepped in directly, we have figured out their origins. They are led by a general named Zhou Honghai from the provincial military camp. Apart from this group, there is also a sect in Jianghu - the notorious Bailong sect. Tonight, I saw two people from the Bailong Sect outside the Academy, apparently doing reconnaissance."

"Reconnaissance?" Long San’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

"It seems so. I followed them for a couple of blocks, and I vaguely heard them saying things like ’action’ and ’enter from the south wall.’ Gang leader, do you think this group will attack the Academy? But the Academy is full of unarmed scholars. If they really attack the Academy, wouldn’t the people inside be like a flock of lambs to the slaughter?" the Hall Master asked.

Long San frowned, feeling that this matter was too suspicious.

Targeting a group of scholars?

That’s true, Qin Kun’s group has done things like burning down docks, boats, and raiding villages, just to cause a sensation that attracts public opinion. However, no matter what he did, the imperial court did not react. If he wanted to get that batch of elite soldiers, he must add the influence of the mountain bandits.

How to have a bigger impact? Killing a group of scholars about to go to the capital to take the exam, would surely lead other literati to express their outrage by submitting their writings. The literati’s literary talent is the best weapon; they will certainly depict these bandits as reincarnations of demons. When the matter is reported to the imperial court, the Emperor will certainly agree to dispatch the troops.
