Chapter: 5707

Wu Tianlin thought for a moment and then asked: "Emperor, can you send one of the elders to Jinling to investigate first?"

"One?" Wu Feiyan shook her head: "I don't know what kind of strength that person has, but Long Shenghou's self-betrayal didn't kill him. That proves his strength is absolutely above any individual among the three elders. Sending one elder will be like sending someone to their death. If the other party is stronger than me, sending three people will have the same result."

As I was saying, Wu Feiyan added, "Moreover, you haven't thought about it, but the other party might not be using my master's image to intimidate me. It's possible that they're using my master's image to provoke me, if this isn't a hollow threat and is actually a psychological manipulation. If that's the case, then their ultimate goal would probably be to lure me out!"

Wu Tianlin's expression turned pale as he spoke, "You're right... Hollow threats and psychological manipulation have similar appearances at first glance, but they can lead to vastly different consequences, one day or another, one life or death. The other party has already been secretly fighting with us several times, each time gaining the upper hand, and now it's very possible that they're trying to pressure you into making a move..."

Wu Feiyan nodded slightly and began to speak again, "And this person has something in common with me."

Wu Tianlin asked hastily, "What do you mean, Emperor?"

Wu Feiyan said, "This person is not only a monk but also extremely skilled at using firearms!"

As I was saying, Wu Feiyan added again, "I'm doing so because I understand the characteristics of martial artists and monks. That's why I let you train our dead soldiers and cavalry in modern warfare..."

"After we trained those dead soldiers, they could slaughter ordinary martial arts masters like chopping vegetables. Those high-ranking martial arts masters would be nothing more than common chickens or dogs facing a hail of bullets..."

"But this person is even better than me! They actually thought of using near-defense cannons to kill monks! This person's methods are truly not something you'd find in every villain!"

Wu Tianlin recalled the fate of Elder Euo, who was shot by a near-defense cannon and turned into DNA, and couldn't help but shiver. He said, "We previously discovered that Black Water Company bought three near-defense cannons from Eastern Europe's black market. The same type as the one used to kill Elder Euo..."

"But despite his thorough search, Loyal Yeong didn't find any unusual circumstances on the part of Black Water Company. He had already secretly detained several high-ranking officials and tortured them mercilessly without getting any leads..."

"Due to several high-ranking officials' mysterious deaths, Black Water Company has already announced a temporary suspension of deploying troops overseas. It's speculated that the death of Build-It-Took might be intentionally framed as an accusation against Black Water Company."

Wu Feiyan nodded and said, "Notify Loyal Yeong not to investigate Black Water Company anymore. Also, notify the Five Military Commandery to stop all external actions from now on. The internal situation will remain quiet for three months!"

Wu Tianlin replied without hesitation, "Yes, my lord. I'll notify them right away."

Wu Feiyan added, "Oh, and inform the machine team to be prepared. Tomorrow, I'll go to Burma."

Wu Tianlin exclaimed in shock, "My lord, subordinate dares not... At such a critical moment, why do you need to leave the stronghold?"

Wu Feiyan gave him a piercing gaze that could kill, coldly scolding, "You're nothing but trash! Is this something you should be asking?"

Wu Tianlin was shocked by Wu Feiyan's gaze and fell to his knees, banging his forehead on the ground repeatedly, saying in terror, "Subordinate deserves death. Please forgive my lord!"

Wu Feiyan coldly chuckled and scolded, "From now on, if you dare to open your mouth again, just roll back to Liaodong ancestral tomb and end your life yourself!"

Wu family's ancestral home is in Liaodong, so Wu family's ancestral tomb is also there.

However, for the people from Wu family within the Qing Court, once the English master allows him to return to Liaodong to guard the ancestral tomb, it would be equivalent to being punished like those who are sent to Ningguta. Once they go, this life can only end in that place.

Wu Tianlin was extremely anxious and fiercely slapped himself twice, ceaselessly kowtowing and crying out, "My subordinate deserves death, my subordinate deserves death! Thank the English master for his benevolence!"

Wu Feiyan no longer bothered with him, saying calmly, "Go ahead, arrange your tasks as instructed!"

"My superior orders!" Wu Tianlin felt like he had received a divine pardon once again, and knelt down three times in unison, scrambling to escape outside. JrNovels.com
