Chapter 135 - 99 Isn't This a Coincidence (Subscribe Please)_3
"What does the Young Marquis wish to know? I will certainly tell all that I know, and hold nothing back."
"'Hidden Dragon', the Lu Family, myself." Chen Yi smiled, "and everything else you know."
The man showed a bitter smile on his face, not expecting that the Young Marquis had already known about "Hidden Dragon".
He then thought about the unexpected meeting with Lonely Wolf and understood that perhaps Lonely Wolf had betrayed "Hidden Dragon".
"My name is Lu Fang, a collateral branch of the Lu Family."
Chen Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he laughed silently in his heart.
Good, a collateral branch is just fine.
Considering the secrets heard previously, "Hidden Dragon" was likely also targeting the Lu Family.
This way, he could temporarily exclude the main branch of the Lu Family.
"Within 'Hidden Dragon', I am merely a Bronze Token holder, a position not much higher than that of Lonely Wolf."
"There are not a hundred in the entire Jizhou Prefecture like me, but there are several dozen..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Fang realized that the tip of the Longsword had moved an inch closer, understanding that Chen Yi was not satisfied with his words.
He quickly corrected himself: "Besides me, there are two other Bronze Token holders in Jizhou Prefecture."
"I do not know their identities, only that one is in the Prefecture Magistrate's office, and the other is stationed amongst the naval forces in Jizhou Prefecture."
"Our main task is to manage the funds the Lu Family uses for expansion. Soon, the main branch will transport that money to Beizhi."
Lu Fang sweated profusely, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, the Longsword would pierce through his head.
After all, his joining of "Hidden Dragon" was merely for personal gain, not truly to empower "Hidden Dragon".
"What else?"
"I, I am just responsible for gathering information about the Lu Family; Xu Ban handles the actions..."
While listening to him, Chen Yi pondered.
The three Bronze Token holders of "Hidden Dragon" in Jizhou Prefecture, one in a wealthy household, one in the government, and another actually within the naval forces.
This shows their scheming and ambitions are beyond imagination.
"There's also about your own matters, Young Marquis. The higher-ups merely had me keep close watch on your recent movements."
Speaking of which, Lu Fang suddenly remembered his recent conversation with his superior, and changed his words again: "And also to probe your true strength."
"And the purpose?" Chen Yi turned to ask.
"This, I don't, don't know."
The Spring Rain Sword moved an inch closer, the tip nearly touching his eye.
Lu Fang didn't dare to move or even blink, beads of sweat dripping down.
His body trembled slightly, and his voice wavered a bit: "I only know that the leader of 'Hidden Dragon' wants to deal with you."
"Over a decade ago, it was he who communicated to me to arrange 'Hidden Dragon seeds' to assassinate you..."
Chen Yi interrupted: "Tell me about the identity of 'Hidden Dragon''s leader?"
"I'm not sure, I really don't know."
"I know that several of the high-ranking members of 'Hidden Dragon' are people from Capital City, all others are contacted through letters and secret missives."
"Please believe me, Young Marquis."
"Since I joined 'Hidden Dragon', I've only met one Silver Order. Besides that, there are only those 'seeds' within the Grand Void Sect."
Having said his piece, Lu Fang's eyes revealed a faint plea for mercy.
"What about your investigation into the Sect's junior competition at Grand Void Sect?" Chen Yi's expression turned cold, "Don't tell me you don't know about that, too?"
"No... no please..."
The sword light flashed.
"Heh..."
Lu Fang's expression froze, his remaining eye staring blankly at him, slowly losing its luster.
Chen Yi snorted, sheathed the Spring Rain Sword, and started
For Chen Yi, since he had confirmed the person behind "Hidden Dragon", he just needed to link the two together.
That way, when he later returns to the Capital City, he'd be ready to settle the score with Duke Jingye!
