Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1381: Chapter 447: Feint to the East, Cai Qiu Prince, Chui Mountain Fruit_3

This princely heir from Cai Qiu, though with a noble background and strong abilities, ultimately has no real foundation in the Nine Towns. With the fifty-odd Cold Resistance Level warriors he brought, the situation he can control is naturally extremely limited.

With Duan Hong’s cooperation, as long as Beishuo is not acting under his nose, they can essentially stuff as many people into the town as they want.

Unlike Cai Shiqi, Great Xia’s infiltration of Chui Mountain Town began right after the Hongmen Battle ended the year before last.

Therefore, even though Cai Shiqi is in Chui Mountain Town, his understanding of the place is still less than that of Great Xia.

"With the full cooperation of Mu Longhe’s former subordinates and the Mu Family, over the past year and a half, our infiltration into Chui Mountain is far deeper than you can imagine; otherwise, how would the Minister know so much about the situation..."

Lin Kai’s eyes flickered slightly, he paused and then continued, "Beishuo now fears arousing Cai Shiqi’s suspicion, so they’ve been secretly sending people to Chui Mountain Town. Although the actions are small, they can’t escape our notice.

Yang Zhun has the support of Chen Cang, and right now he doesn’t dare to blatantly annex Chui Mountain. The biggest concern should not be Cai Shiqi, but us, or rather the other seven towns!"

Upon hearing these words, Ying Yi furrowed his brows slightly, but after a moment of contemplation, he quickly understood and nodded, saying, "Over in Cai Qiu, Chen Cang can be handled, and Yang Zhun annexing Chui Mountain hasn’t really relied on Chen Cang’s power. The accusation of colluding with outer realm forces can’t be pinned on him either.

But if he dares to be the first to destroy a town, it will inevitably cause the remaining seven towns to jointly denounce him. At that point, magnifying his relationship with Chen Cang, Beishuo would effectively be severing itself from the Nine Towns. Let alone the Southern Five Towns, even Jin Mountain and Wuchuan would probably be wary of him."

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai smiled and continued, "This is Yang Zhun’s biggest concern at present, fortunately, Great Xia doesn’t have this worry..."

Ying Yi suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and a broad smile appeared on his face as he laughed, saying, "Haha, that’s right! Great Xia doesn’t need to destroy Chui Mountain at all."

"It’s also because Duan Hong is too foolish, eager to integrate into Beishuo, blind to the situation, only fearing Great Xia, and worrying about the feudal towns. If not for this, we wouldn’t have found such a good opportunity!"

Lin Kai’s expression turned peculiar, thinking about Duan Hong’s series of actions since the Hongmen Battle the year before last, and he couldn’t help but sigh at how he managed to cultivate to the Xianyang Level.

"Alright, that’s enough talk! I..."

Lin Kai was about to dismiss Ying Yi, but before he could finish speaking, he sensed something, suddenly turning his head to look outside the hall; next to him, Ying Yi also felt it and hurriedly turned alongside him.

A white silhouette came into view. The two looked up to see a graceful figure, dressed in a white palace gown and wearing a silk veil, walking slowly towards them from outside the hall door.

The person wore a veil, and although Lin Kai and Ying Yi couldn’t clearly see the face, as soon as they met those deep, authoritative phoenix eyes and saw the stunning palace gown that turned from white to red under light, they immediately understood.

"Hongmen Guardian Lin Kai, pays respects to Madam!"

"Hongmen Chief Order Ying Yi, pays respects to Madam!"

"No need for formalities, stand up! I am going to Chui Mountain Town and happened to pass by here. Xia Chuan said that there is a lot of intelligence about Chui Mountain in your hands, so I specifically came to ask you. Is there anything I need to know right now? I am about to depart promptly."

Lin Kai heard that Li Xuanling was speaking to him, and rather than immediately answering, he paused in surprise and couldn’t help but ask, "Madam, pardon my boldness, but wasn’t it the Minister who said he was going to Chui Mountain Town? Why has it changed to you?"

"He is in seclusion and cannot come out in the short term."

Hearing Li Xuanling’s response, Lin Kai and Ying Yi were momentarily stunned, and then they realized, with faces full of joy.

The Minister is in seclusion and won’t be out anytime soon.

They both knew very well what this meant!
