Chapter 412 - King behind the scenes
"Who are you? Why don't you stand with them? When you reach the Wang Family, you should follow the rules of the Wang Family." The steward led his servants and surrounded the man in the corner, asking with a look of displeasure.
Facing that question, the man smiled and said: "Everyone, do not misunderstand, I am different from those people, I am not from Luoyang."
"Oh? You are a foreigner. What is a foreigner doing here? "Take them down." The butler was alarmed as he heard the old man.
Immediately, the surrounding servants surrounded him.
"Hehe, no need to be so alert, I'm here to look for Sect Leader Ling."
When the steward heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly raised his hand to stop them. "Stop, all of you, move aside."
Then, the steward walked to the person in front of him and asked: "Who exactly are you? How do you know Sect Leader Ling?"
"This humble one is Lao Denuo. If it's possible, I would like to trouble you to inform Sect Leader Ling that I will be waiting here." Lao Denuo smiled.
Hearing this, the supervisor was momentarily at a loss as to what to do, thinking that he could not handle such a big matter by himself. Hence, he invited Lao Denuo to his room to rest while he quickly went to report to Wang Yuanba.
After listening to the manager's description, Wang Yuanba's eyes lit up, and said hurriedly: "Since that person has already said that, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and report it to the Sect Leader Ling, don't affect your plans."
As Ling Xiao's answer to Wang Yuanba was extremely mysterious, it led to Wang Yuanba paying attention to all of Ling Xiao's movements and people. It was unknown what Ling Xiao's answer would be, but it was related to the answer Wang Yuanba wanted.
When the supervisor heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, this subordinate will handle it."
Thus, the manager jogged over to Ling Xiao's residence and told him his name.
"Oh? "He's finally here. Bring him to see This Seat." After Ling Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
When the supervisor heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn't make a decision as he wished, or else he would be in big trouble.
"Sect Leader Ling, please wait a moment, I will bring the person over right now." The manager saluted and then jogged away.
Not long after, Lao Denuo arrived at the center of Ling Xiao's courtyard.
After the manager left, Lao Denuo walked in front of Ling Xiao and bowed, "Sect Leader Ling, I'm too late."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and laughed lightly: "You have come at just the right time, neither late nor late. Sit, I haven't seen you in a long time."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Ling."
After Lao Denuo sat down, he said, "Sect Leader Ling, all the information networks have been set up, and only one center is left for us to use as a transition station. This is a very important stronghold and it controls the operation of the entire network."
When Ling Xiao heard this, he nodded and said: "You said it before, I will always pay attention to it in my heart. Now, I have also found a good place."
"Where is it?" Lao Denuo's eyes lit up. He had searched through many places and felt that none of them were satisfactory to him.
It would not be difficult to gather intelligence on their location, but if they wanted to operate as a stronghold, they had to pay attention to everything else. If things went wrong, they might get uprooted and lose their secrets.
Therefore, Lao Denuo had never dared to rashly make a decision. This was also the reason why Lao Denuo came over to discuss everything after Lao Denuo finished all the preparations.
"Beneath your feet." Ling Xiao smiled.
Lao Denuo was startled, then reacted, and said in shock: "Sect Leader Ling, are you sure? Luoyang City is a city with water, and hundreds of families from different sects, it is very difficult to unify them, and as a capital, there are always a lot of outsiders coming and going, and the flow of people is very high, and from time to time, there will be people that we do not know about, which will greatly affect our movements and accuracy of information."
"You're right. Choosing this place as the information center is indeed a bit sloppy because there are many uncertainties. However, relative to them, there are always benefits as long as we can take down this capital." Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Hearing this, Lao Denuo suddenly felt his heart beating faster.
"Sect Leader Ling, could it be … You've already taken it? " Lao Denuo asked in disbelief.
If it was in the past, Lao Denuo would definitely not have this thought, but when he discovered the treatment Ling Xiao received in the Wang Family, this thought popped out in his heart.
It had to be known that other than Ling Xiao being a spy and secretly collecting intelligence for him, there was basically no one else who could help him.
However, even under such circumstances, Ling Xiao was still able to shake the world, which was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
As expected, under Lao Denuo's expectant gaze, Ling Xiao slightly nodded his head.
"That's right, I have already taken down the Luoyang City, and no one knows that I was behind the scenes. This is because I used the Wang Family as a shield to confuse everyone's line of sight, and now the entire Luoyang City thinks that the Wang Family won this battle." Ling Xiao laughed proudly.
Hearing that, Lao Denuo could not help but clap his hands, "Sect Leader Ling is truly powerful, to be able to achieve such a feat by himself, this subordinate is truly impressed!"
"Although I won, there are still a lot of hidden problems, such as the fact that the Wang Family did not have the deterrence that I had imagined, which affected the progress of the plan." Ling Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, and said unhappily: "I have already tried to find a way to help again, but in the end, I just can't help anymore. I've always come to find me for help, and it's hard to say if I won't have to stay here forever."
"Sect Leader Ling is right. If we continuously need someone to help us, it would truly be impossible." Lao Denuo nodded in agreement.
After taking a sip of the tea-water, Ling Xiao leaned back and said indifferently: That's why I need to think of a way to resolve this problem, if we continue to drag this out, the Wang Family will definitely become the target of public criticism, and might even be attacked by these handicapped veterans. It has to be known that I was the one who took action in the past, which is why I was intimidated, and most importantly, if the Wang Family's shield is gone, then my identity would be exposed.
"I am not willing to be exposed to the world as soon as I sit on the throne of the king behind the scenes." Ling Xiao said with a slight frown.
"This is indeed a troublesome matter. Does Sect Leader Ling have any countermeasures?" Lao Denuo also scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
"So, you came just in time." Ling Xiao looked at Lao Denuo and revealed a mysterious smile.
After hearing that, Lao Denuo was startled, then he understood that Ling Xiao's next plan was actually himself.
