Rumors end with the wise.

But most people in the world follow blindly, and even Zengzi's mother, after repeated and repeated, someone told her that "Zeng Shen killed someone!", she would jump over the wall in fear.

If there is no rumor at all, the conclusions that are inferred with evidence will undoubtedly be even more convinced by most people. Even if they are not fully convinced, the originally firm thoughts in their hearts will probably be shaken.

The building whose foundation has been shaken is obviously not far from the complete collapse.

This is the dilemma Qinglong is facing now.

It was because he was worried that Xin Yuehu would confess the facts because of resentment after being captured and not dead, so he ordered everyone to evacuate Yingtian City immediately with the reason of a military master.

In the next few dozen days, in Yangzhou Prefecture, everything seemed to be very abnormal. His original wariness had dissipated a lot, but he never expected that this would explode completely when he thought it had disappeared. From bottom to top, like a burning fire, it completely put him on the fire and baked it.

Even the last two useful star masters under his command - Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong, were also affected by the rumors that were surging below.

Although they had not come to him personally to verify the truth of these rumors, the caution and concern they showed in the face of him recently betrayed their hearts.

Qinglong was naturally shocked and angry about this.

He wanted to order a thorough investigation, but with the rumor, it was difficult for him to find out who was the first to spread the rumor.

He also wanted to use tough measures to force the rumors down.

But he knew in his heart that doing so without providing definite evidence would only make his subordinates believe the rumors and become more suspicious of him.

And his true weaknesses were also exposed in this situation.

Those rumors were spread everywhere, and at least 80% of them were indeed true.

If he wanted to provide evidence to prove it, he would have to shoot himself in the foot.

However, there is one thing he can be sure of.

There must be a powerful pusher behind this matter. Under the premise that only he and Xinyuehu knew about that matter, the pusher was obviously the only one left of Xinyuehu who was pushed out to serve as a cover that day.

The heart moon fox is still alive.

And he has betrayed him.

This made his heart full of murderous intent.

...

"Xinyue Fox is not dead yet."

Qinglong, who knew that he could not continue to let the rumors continue to pass on like this, found Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu first.

The people below have been completely influenced by rumors and have a very bad impression of him, and the only ones who can retain some trust are left.

And the moment the two of them sat down, he first came up with this conclusion that was enough to shock them.

He needs to use this conclusion to fully grasp the initiative in the conversation, and he cannot give the two any chance to question him.

It's not because he can't lie, but because if that's the case, no matter how he answers, it will only damage his prestige in the hearts of the two.

What he had to show was like the former Dongguan Qinglong who was arrogant and completely controlled the fate and ideas of all of them.

"Also, she has betrayed us, turned to the Six Gates, and turned to the government. These recent messages are her confession to the Six Gates, and she hopes that we can be dismantled in just a few words."

His tone was extremely firm in determining the nature of this matter, which also means that unless Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu really had to question or even resist him, they would not ask him a word for this matter after this.

He completely grabbed the possibility that the two of them suspected.

"It really looks like her way of doing things."

Kang Jinlong seemed to have accepted Qinglong's rhetoric quickly, nodded, and echoed Qinglong's statement.

"But in what way did she get the news?"

Compared with Kang Jinlong, who was "aware of the situation", Fang Ritu, who had always been calm, did not refute Qinglong's conclusion, but still raised doubts.

"If she had already known that we had left Yingtian City and then arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture, we would tell the six doors directly, why bother with such great trouble as we are now?"

"Maybe she just wants to cause panic first, and then take advantage of the panic that caused it to launch a sudden sneak attack?"

Kang Jinlong completely came from the perspective of Qinglong to think about this issue and asked back.

"Oh."

However, what greeted him was Fang Ritu's cold sneer that ignored his face.

"Does the arrested prisoner, Xinyuehu, have such great ability to make the entire Six Gates obey and act according to her plan?"

"Ha, then, in your opinion, what's going on?"

Seeing that Fang Ritu didn't know the kindness of a good person, he didn't follow the steps he gave, and instead wanted to mock himself. Kang Jinlong couldn't help laughing out loud, and with bad intentions, he was ready to dig a big hole for him.

"Okay, stop arguing."

However, before Fang Ritu could speak, Qinglong seemed to have interrupted the quarrel with great dissatisfaction because he was worried that Fang Ritu would really say something that embarrass him.

"The situation is so urgent now, when will you still want to argue?"

"Please calm down your anger by the Eastern Officer."

Seeing that Qinglong was really angry, both Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu immediately closed their mouths, stood up and bowed and said.

"The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of the traitor Xinyuehu. If she continues to let her help in the Six Gates, I am afraid that the entire Dongjitian will be destroyed in the hands of Six Gates in the end."

Qinglong, who knew that the rumors could not be investigated in depth, immediately shifted the topic from the rumors to the matter of eliminating Xinyuehu, a traitor to the Tianyan Sect.

"She is our biggest concern. As for the rumors circulating now, they are just scabies. As long as she is a traitor, these rumors will slowly dissipate."

"Director Dongguan is wise."

Kang Jinlong immediately gave a compliment.

Of course, only he knew what Qinglong said in his heart.

As for Fang Ritu, he was still silent. He was not the person like Kang Jinlong who could hide the true thoughts in his heart and say insincere words, otherwise he would not have become the person in charge of Qinglong's men who were specifically responsible for intelligence matters.

"You two might as well think about it now, but what are some good ideas."

Qinglong, who knew very well in his heart, had no intention of forcing him to bow his head, but immediately continued to speak in accordance with Kang Jinlong's compliment.

Since Fang Ritu didn't directly question him, he could pretend not to know.

“…”

When Qinglong asked this question, even Kang Jinlong couldn't help but fall into silence.

He could agree with Qinglong, but he couldn't help but be more cautious about things that require specific methods.

Before no Star Lord level betrayed, five of their seven Star Lords died one after another. Even the nine Star Lords sent by Huanglong to help lost one, and the leader of Tianlang, was the enough to show how great the risk behind this matter is.

Now, Xinyuehu, who is very familiar with the Tianyan Gate Dongjitian, is very familiar with them and is a star master, has betrayed him. When returning to Yingtian City again, the danger is obviously several times greater than before. If you really participate in it, maybe if you are not careful, you will follow the footsteps of the five companions in front and die in Yingtian City.

He finally escaped to a safe place in Yangzhou Prefecture, so he didn't want to go back.

"Six Gate finally caught Xinyuehu, but I don't know how much it cost to buy her, making her betray her. If you cooperate with Liushemen, you will definitely arrange countless masters around her. If you want to assassinate, it will be a bit too difficult. Moreover, now we have no eyeliner in Yingtian City, and we are hard to even know where she is now, let alone assassination."

Fang Ritu, who had not spoken before, said slowly shortly after Kang Jinlong fell into silence, but he did not give the so-called idea, but expressed the difficulty of assassination with deep helplessness and worry.

"The more we do this, the more we have to overcome these difficulties and get rid of her, the traitor. Otherwise, we will have to hide like mice in the future, let alone return to Yingtian City and restore Dongjitian."

Qinglong did not express any anger or dissatisfaction with the two of them, because he knew very well that the difficulties mentioned by Fang Ritu did exist, and the real situation was even more dangerous than Fang Ritu said. It may even leak the news that Dongjitian had been transferred to Yangzhou Prefecture.

Just like the question raised by Kang Jinlong before, how did the Xinyuehu spread this news? Why did it suddenly explode after so long?

Qinglong would not believe that this was just a simple coincidence. Behind this, there must be people from Xinyuehu who are in charge of the fire.

Although he had cleared Xinyuehu's subordinates before, who can guarantee that someone as deep-minded as Xinyuehu doesn't have a few secrets?

Previously, due to strict control, the news was unable to be spread in Yangzhou Prefecture.

But this time, in order to assassinate Xinyuehu, we must select a large number of good people to go to Yingtian City.

If the person who was selected to assassinate Xinyuehu this time and unfortunately there was a secret son of Xinyuehu, the original assassination would instantly turn into a leak.

If you get the six secret doors, you don’t have to guess. You will inevitably secretly arrive at Yangzhou Prefecture under the leadership of these Xinyuehu Anzi and catch them all in one place.

This is not just that you can't steal a chicken and lose a piece of rice, but that you can't beat a wolf and you can't kill it.

Therefore, although Qinglong wanted to cut off Xinyuehu's head now, he could only force the thought in his heart to prevent it from affecting his judgment, so as to formulate the most perfect plan and select the most suitable personnel to ensure that Xinyuehu's secrets are excluded.

Of course, it would be even better if we could take advantage of this opportunity to find out these secrets.

After all, being in Yangzhou Prefecture is just a temporary solution. After a little recovery, he still needs to let his subordinates go out of Yangzhou Prefecture again, regain everything they have lost, and restore Dongjitian to its original peak.

And these dark men were like bombs. As long as he did not pull them out, the moment he ordered to leave Yangzhou Prefecture and resume activities, it would be equivalent to igniting the lead. As long as one exploded, it would be enough to destroy the entire Dongjitian and smash him to pieces.

But he could only do this in person.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu, but that he is worried that telling them that if they are involved, it may allow them to learn the truth through these secret sons of Xinyuehu.

By then, the two men with definite evidence would probably be completely disinterested in him. Without the full support of the two final star masters, he would obviously not be able to really rebuild Dongjitian.

Not to mention, the two who knew the truth were likely to completely turn to Huanglong like the horned wood dragon that died under his sword, and even had the intention of taking him and replacing him with the support of Huanglong.

...

Qinglong was thinking about these things, while Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu sat there and fell into a long silence, each thinking about their thoughts in their minds.

The room fell into a long silence.
