392. Capture an Honorable Man (III)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The border was really heavily guarded. In addition, two armies had already headed to Black Wind Forest. At high speed, they arrived at dusk and surrounded the outermost side of Black Wind Forest near Eastern Darkness.
In this way, Black Wind Forest was occupied.
Tianlong Dynasty took action too quickly, so when Fang Shuoyang and the others received the news, their enemy had already taken Black Wind Forest.
It was mainly because people at that place did not resist at all!
Not only that, all the people there stayed.
After all, they all committed crimes before and were more or less fugitives, so where could they go if they left?
If not for the fact that they didn’t commit the most heinous crimes and their four heads were outstanding in martial arts who could protect them, these people would have been captured long ago.
At the moment, their heads had gone to do something very important. They couldn’t offer any help, so how could they still drag them down?
So, cooperating with the army of Tianlong Dynasty and restraining themselves was not a big deal at all.
The top leader of Tianlong Dynasty had said that if Eastern Darkness was no longer a threat, they could still return to Black Wind Forest and this place would become their turf forever!
Didn’t it mean that they wouldn’t be wanted in the near future?
Or they would be okay as long as they were staying in their own turf?
When everyone thought of this, they felt that this might be a good thing!
And they were more willing to be cooperative.
This was beyond Long’s expectations.
But it also showed one thing. After the incident of the one-eyed person, w.a.n.g Qi successfully eliminated those who held different views.
At least, the remaining people were all loyal to him!
They would definitely not drag him down!
Long was satisfied when he heard about Mr. Fu’s decision and knew their thoughts.
Of course, some people were also dissatisfied.
For example, the people of Eastern Darkness.
Fang Shuoyang and Zhou Suye still looked calm.
However, several generals looked extremely bad.
They had known that the subordinates of the two princes had successfully infiltrated Tianlong Dynasty, but they hadn’t poisoned the soldiers.
The most serious thing was that Huhe, the crown prince of Northern Barbarians, was even captured!
To express his sincerity, Huhe didn’t take so many people with him to Eastern Darkness, but there were still several guards around him.
Besides, Northern Barbarians could place so many spies in Tianlong Dynasty. Was there not a single one in Eastern Darkness? It was impossible.
If there was no one, how could Tianxiangzi’s a.s.sa.s.sination almost succeed?
If Emperor Zhou really died, Eastern Darkness would be in total chaos!
Northern Barbarians benefitted nothing from it? Even an idiot wouldn’t believe it, okay?
However, not many people knew that Tianxiangzi worked for Huhe of Northern Barbarians. Even though Long and his men were sure about it, they didn’t have any evidence.
Therefore, the generals of Eastern Darkness were all worried about Huhe as he was captured by Tianlong Dynasty.
They all knew that Huhe went there to form an alliance with Eastern Darkness and he was the only crown prince in Northern Barbarians. Since something happened to him in Eastern Darkness, it seemed to be a big problem…
At the moment, only the generals at the border knew the news. Emperor Zhou in the imperial city still didn’t know, but the message had been sent urgently.
Soon, Emperor Zhou would receive it!
The generals looked worried. One man said, “Huhe Huangcheng has been captured by Tianlong Dynasty. What should we do?”
“Send some people to save him!” Another man said.
“How to save him? He must have been heavily guarded by them!”
“But we can’t just sit by. Tianlong Dynasty eliminated dissidents too thoroughly. There are only two useless people who are working for us at the border there.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Let’s talk about the plan.”
“Right, we don’t have many spies there, but perhaps Northern Barbarians have! To save their crown prince, they should be willing to do anything, right?”
“Well… You’re right, but he was captured in our territory. If they ask us to be responsible for it…”
“This is indeed a problem.”
At this moment, they finally found that three people still kept silent there.
For example, General Song, the general with the highest rank at the border.
For example, the two princes.
Suddenly, a general said cautiously, “General Song, what should we do?”
The rest of the people all turned to look at General Song.
General Song did not speak as they wished, but he turned to look at Fang Shuoyang.
Yes, he looked at Fang Shuoyang, not Zhou Suye.
In the discussion of some important matters in the past two days, Fang Shuoyang’s performance was remarkable and he could keep his countenance. He had already left a good impression in everyone’s mind.
General Song was no exception.
Zhou Suye wasn’t useless at all. However, when the two of them were compared, obviously, the former was much better.
Even though Zhou Suye also smiled sometimes, it gave people a gloomy feeling somehow.
Especially when he looked at you, you would find that you were a little afraid of looking at him!
Because of this, all the generals instinctively preferred Fang Shuoyang.
When these people were all looking at Fang Shuoyang, Zhou Suye’s fists were slightly clenched and displeasure flashed across his eyes, but in the end, no trace of it was left…
