Chapter 153 Cloud Feather 12
"Wu Feng has repeatedly sent assassins to infiltrate the palace, his sinister intentions are obvious, and they are coming with great force, so we must be fully prepared!"
Gong Ziyu's words were firm and unquestionable!
Now that Gong Shangjiao has conceded, his previous idea of a back-and-forth battle lasting three hundred rounds is no longer possible. There's no point in continuing the entanglement, so he might as well just focus his attention on Wufeng.
Wu Feng and Gong Men are already mortal enemies, and there is absolutely no chance for them to reconcile. Moreover, Wu Feng is no good person, so eliminating them is a good deed for the people, and there is no need to feel guilty at all.
He turned his gaze to Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng and said in a deep voice, "You two fabricated falsehoods and slandered Zhi Ren. You should be severely punished, but considering that we have a formidable enemy at hand, we will treat you leniently for the time being and let you atone for your crimes."
Gong Shangjiao remained calm. He had already anticipated this situation after uttering the words "Lord Zhiren".
Gong Ziyu had just taken up the position of Blade Master when he was questioned about his lineage by himself and Yuan Zheng. If he didn't react at all, his prestige would be completely ruined if word got out.
However, severely punishing the two would make him appear petty and intolerant.
Therefore, "atone for one's crimes by performing meritorious service" is undoubtedly the wisest course of action at present. It not only maintains the dignity of the wielder but also demonstrates the magnanimity of the palace master, which can be considered a win-win situation.
So he pulled the still somewhat awkward Gong Yuanzheng along and bowed to him, thus accepting this 'punishment'.
Seeing this, Gong Ziyu nodded, his expression softening slightly. He then proceeded to issue orders: "Gong Shangjiao, I order you to take the people of Jiao Palace and quickly investigate Wufeng's latest movements. Find out how many sects in the martial world have submitted to Wufeng, ascertain Wufeng's current strength as much as possible, and at the same time, do your best to win over the sects that have not yet submitted to Wufeng and unite them to resist Wufeng."
"And Gong Yuanzheng, I'm giving you ten days to find out the truth about the substitution of Baicao Cui. After that, quickly prepare all kinds of herbs, antidotes, poisons, life-saving pills, and other medicines to ensure a sufficient supply of medicines when we go to war with Wufeng."
Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng both replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"
After settling the two of them in, Gong Ziyu turned to Gong Zishang and said, "Miss, after you return to the Shang Palace, immediately take stock of all the weapons and equipment inside the palace gates to ensure that there are enough weapons for the palace gates when we go to war with Wufeng. If there is a shortage, forge them immediately. The more weapons the better!"
Gong Zishang was surprised to find that she had something to do, and paused for a moment before saying, "Okay!"
"As for my Feather Palace..." Gong Ziyu paused slightly, his eyes sharp, as if they could pierce through the fog and strike straight at people's hearts: "Now, we don't know how many Wufeng people have infiltrated the palace. In the near future, the Feather Palace will conduct a comprehensive investigation within the palace to eradicate all the Wufeng spies hidden within the palace and ensure that there are no more hidden dangers within the palace."
Gong Ziyu thought for a moment and decided that was all for now. So he waved his hand and said, "Since no one has any objections to my proposed plan, let's go back and prepare immediately! Develop a specific action plan and submit it to Yu Gong before sunset."
"Lord Zhiren, please rest assured, the Shang Palace's plan will be delivered on time!"
Gong Zishang responded enthusiastically to Gong Ziyu, but as soon as she finished speaking, a question crept into her mind:
How do I write an action plan?
Old Zhiren never asked for it before!
Gong Zishang was filled with questions, and a hint of confusion was in her eyes.
However, when she looked up, she saw Gong Yuanzheng, who also looked confused, and Gong Shangjiao, who seemed to be deep in thought, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The initial unease and anxiety vanished instantly, replaced by a strange sense of peace and relief!
So nobody knew? That puts my mind at ease!
When the two people opposite her looked at her, Gong Zishang immediately put on a confident look, even snorted arrogantly, and turned around and left the Blade Master Hall first.
Gong Shangjiao watched her retreating figure, seemingly remembering something. He turned to look at Gong Ziyu, a rare smile curving his lips, and strode away with Gong Yuanzheng.
Thus, only Gong Ziyu, Jin Fan, and the three elders Hua, Xue, and Yue remained in the vast Hall of Blade Mastery.
Elder Hua couldn't help but ask, "Did Lord Zhiren intend to start a war with Wufeng by making such arrangements just now?"
His tone revealed a hint of worry. They really didn't want to fight Wufeng head-on again. After all, the incident ten years ago was enough to make people remember it for a lifetime!
"It's not that I want to go to war with Wufeng, but that Wufeng wants to go to war with Gongmen." Gong Ziyu corrected seriously: "In order to prevent the tragedy of ten years ago from happening again, Gongmen must make full preparations this time."
The three elders nodded worriedly upon hearing this, barely accepting his explanation. After exchanging glances, they got up and left.
Gong Ziyu shook his head as he watched the three figures disappear into the distance, thinking to himself: The people inside the palace gates are truly spineless!
Ten years ago, Wufeng launched a major attack on the palace gate, resulting in the tragic deaths of Gong Shangjiao's parents and younger brother, as well as Gong Yuanzheng's parents. Gong Zishang's father, Gong Liushang, was seriously injured, and the entire palace suffered heavy losses.
Instead of seeking revenge, Gongmen chose to live in seclusion in a valley, showing no intention of seeking vengeance whatsoever.
Ten years later, the Palace Gate's Blade Master and Young Master were killed again by the Unsharp Assassin, yet the Palace Gate still showed no intention of seeking revenge.
I have no idea what they're afraid of!
Most importantly, the palace gates cannot hide forever. Wu Feng's ambition to unify the martial world has never diminished. For the sake of Wuliang Liuhuo, they will attack the palace gates again sooner or later.
It can be said that as long as Wu Feng is not eliminated, the palace will not have a single good day.
Given this, why not turn the tables and take the initiative, instead of making a proper plan to eliminate Wufeng?
Gong Ziyu suppressed the urge to complain and told Jin Fan to investigate the Wufeng assassin who had infiltrated the palace, while he himself returned directly to Yu Palace.
Gong Zishang had been waiting at Yu Palace for a while. When he saw him return, she quickly pulled him to her side and asked, "Ziyu, how do you write that action plan you mentioned?"
