The King of Special Warfare Chapter 337 - Senluo Hall

Without exaggeration, the intense debate that lasted 16 hours in Youzhou was absolutely a meeting that could be recorded in the Zhongzhou State’s history.

Too many things happened before and after those 16 hours.

It had originated from the attack against Li Honghe.

It ended with the resurgence of the Li family.

The survival and downfall of the Li family would affect the change of the entire southeastern pattern.

Wu Zhengmin, the local tyrant, who was deep-rooted in Jiangzhe, entered Youzhou and became the Deputy Prime Minister of the cabinet.

Ning Zhiyuan, Commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations, was transferred.

The Special Warfare System was undergoing reform.

The Supervisory Inst.i.tution appeared in public.

While it was turbulent in the Southeast, the Northeast of the Zhongzhou State was also in turmoil.

The top leaders of the Liaodong and Heilong provinces were adjusted. Official doc.u.ments had been issued. Aside from those top leaders that would be promoted in front of the whole world, the Director of the Special Operations Bureau of the Liaodong and Heilong provinces would be changed secretively.

Gain and loss.

It was the theme of the whole meeting.

The Li family gained something, but Wu Zhengmin and Ning Zhiyuan’s transfer was also a loss.

The w.a.n.g family of Beihai gained something.

After the Giant Group combined with the Li family to infiltrate Jiangzhe in despair, the Heilong Province had quietly brought on the direct descendants of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. However, when the speaking right of a province was in comparison with the chaos confronted by the Southeast, the gain and loss of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was unbalanced.

Kunlun City had also gained something.

Setting Sun, the murderous weapon that they had plotted for since many years ago, had finally gone from Sigh City to Kunlun City, which was vital for them.

However, they were unwilling to see how the Li family had gotten the Southeast Supervisory Inst.i.tution.

The Giant Group also gained something.

Ning Zhiyuan was transferred.

General w.a.n.g Wantian, the Commander of the Blood Battalion, Border Control Corps, was transferred to the Eastern Theater of Operations and would act as a Commander.

It was regarded as the first step of Dongcheng Wudi’s control over the Military.

However, w.a.n.g Wantian was transferred to another post in the Eastern Theater of Operations. It was the beginning of the Dongcheng Clan’s abandonment of its dominant right of the Border Control Corps.

That was destined to be a far-reaching meeting.

Many effects would be shown after years or more.

In the Southeast, changes only occurred in Jiangzhe and the Eastern Theater of Operations.

There was another fog of ambiguity in the entire Southeast, with the appearance of the Supervisory Inst.i.tution and the resurgence of the Li family.

Both the insiders and bystanders could barely see it.

Ning Zhiyuan was also unable to see it.

Everything in the Southeast had nothing to do with him.

The day after the meeting, he received his new appointment from Dongcheng Wudi when he walked into the Military Ministry building.

He would have to take off the military uniform that he had worn for most of his life, have his military rank of General removed—one which he was accustomed to—and leave for Tiannan.

All his files were indefinitely archived in a top-secret file.

From that moment on, he was no longer a.s.sociated with the Southeast, and even with the Zhongzhou State.

He was from then on the Commander of the Tiannan Freedom Corps.

He would lead the elites there to fight with the Annan State and turn against the Purgatory of Heaven Capital until Tiannan became a new province of the Zhongzhou State.

…

…

A soldier’s duty was to exploit the boundaries, which was equally matched with defending the motherland.

But only a few people knew the deeper meaning of that transfer.

…

To turn against the Purgatory of Heaven Capital meant too much cruelness and conspiracy.

It was night in Wuyue.

All was quiet in the dead of night.

In the courtyard of the Eastern Theater of Operations, there was a sense of vicissitudes and loneliness after all the prosperity had faded away.

The light was off in the villa where Ning Zhiyuan lived.

Ning Zhiyuan, who was in plain clothes, stood by the window and looked up at the stars in the night sky.

It was the last night he stayed in Wuyue, Jinling, and the Eastern Theater of Operations.

The following morning, w.a.n.g Wantian, the new Commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations, would arrive in Jinling. After completing the handover, he would leave for Tiannan.

The Military Ministry pushed him too hard.

Both the Giant Group and the Southeast Group wanted him to leave Jinling as soon as possible.

‘Tomorrow’ had not yet arrived.

‘Today’ was gone.

The Eastern Theater of Operations held a simple but grand farewell feast.

After the banquet, Ning Zhiyuan did not know what to do.

At that night, he was neither the Commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations nor the Commander of the Tiannan Freedom Corps.

He was only Ning Zhiyuan.

Ning Zhiyuan stood quietly.

The cold moon in the sky rose and fell.

It became increasingly quiet in the courtyard of the Eastern Theater of Operations.

Ning Zhiyuan sighed.

His eyes were dull, almost empty, without reluctance to say goodbye to the past or excitement of meeting the future.

“Insomnia?”

A hoa.r.s.e voice sounded behind Ning Zhiyuan without warning.

Ning Zhiyuan reflexively turned around.

It was dark in the living room of the villa.

n.o.body knew when a man had appeared on the sofa.

He raised his hands and waved them. In the night, one could faintly see that he held a bottle of wine.

“Why are you here?”

Ning Zhiyuan frowned and quietly pulled the curtains in front of the window.

“Don’t be so nervous.”

The black shadow chuckled. His hoa.r.s.e voice was a little magnetic. “I have wine. Do you want some?”

Ning Zhiyuan went over and sat opposite to the shadow.

He did not turn on the light. In the darkness, his tone had repressed anger. “You come to me for a drink?”

“Calm down.”

The black shadow smiled and said, “I came to Jinling for patrolling. Knowing that you’re leaving tomorrow, I came to see. Don’t worry. No one will find out I’ve been here. In the past…”

“This is not the past.”

Ning Zhiyuan interrupted him with a gloomy tone.

He used to be the Commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations and a prominent official of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

The black shadow was also an important figure in the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

They contacted each other occasionally. Even if they were discovered, nothing big would happen.

However, it was different at the moment.

He left Jinling, which was almost like leaving the Southeast Group.

He was a member of the Li family. After the Li family collapsed, his ident.i.ty was not distinct. But currently, as the Li family reappeared, he went to Tiannan, which meant that he went into the camp of the Li family again.

At the moment, he was meeting the man in front of him. Once they were discovered, it was likely to cause an uproar.

The living room was quiet for a while.

The black shadow shook his head and immediately said in earnest, “Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems.”

“We can’t be careless!”

Ning Qiancheng said in a heavy voice.

The black shadow was Megrez, whom Li Honghe had personally mentioned to him in Lin’an.

He was different from Ning Zhiyuan, who was code-named Alkaid.

He was even different from Wu Zhengmin and Zhang Qi.

His ident.i.ty was the most hidden. Everything he showed to the world was perfect.

Even Zhang Qi, the Minister of the Southeast Special Warfare Headquarters, could be exposed.

However, Megrez would not be exposed.

As long as he did not come out, he would hide forever. Moreover, he didn’t have to worry about being called a three-surname slave.

With such a hidden ident.i.ty, he would certainly play a significant role in the future of the Li family.

He would even play a greater role than Ning Zhiyuan.

“I won’t come if nothing happens. However, you’ll leave tomorrow. I had to take a risk coming here because time is limited.”

In the darkness, Megrez put down the bottle in his hand and took out a business card from his pocket.

“In recent years, I have handled many things in Tiannan on behalf of Tianzong. So, I secretly made other arrangements. You can contact this person when you arrive in Tiannan.”

… Megrez said with a soft voice, “This is a small gift. When the time is right, please give it to Tianlan. As his uncle, I didn’t talk too much with him last time.”

“Have you seen Tianlan?” Ning Zhiyuan said with amazement.

…

“We met once, but we didn’t say much.”

Megrez said as he shook his head, “You’re the most suitable to go Tiannan now. Recently, Tianzong is a little confused. Being led by w.a.n.g Qinglei, he wanted to send you to Tiannan to go against the Purgatory of Heaven Capital. w.a.n.g Qinglei said it was a dogfight. How ridiculous!”

Ning Zhiyuan gave him a deep look.

…

He could know the content of the conversation between w.a.n.g Qinglei and w.a.n.g Tianzong, which showed Megrez’s position in the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

“Tianzong trusts you,” Ning Zhiyuan said with emotion.

Under the current situation, if Tiannan was the most notable place in the Zhongzhou State, Megrez would be the most special person in Tiannan.

He was the only person who could wander among the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, the Li family, and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and enjoy the fullest confidence.

He handled a lot of things on behalf of w.a.n.g Tianzong.

n.o.body knew what he did for the Li family while dealing with those things.

“I’m different from you.”

Megrez paused for a while and said slowly, “At least on the surface, I have nothing to do with the Li family.”

“It’s really different,” Ning Zhiyuan nodded and said.

…

Megrez smiled and calmly said, “Forget it. I come here to tell you that you need to move fast after you go to Tiannan. Although the Li family is currently making a comeback, the situation is not good. Tiannan is the key to ensure stability in Jiangzhe. If there are no accidents, the next few years will be the best chance for the Li family. When you’re in Tiannan, rid yourself of any scruples.”

“Scruples?”

“Scruples.”

The hall started to become quiet.

Ning Zhiyuan seemed to have some scruples. He paused for a long while and said quietly, “What scruples can I have?”

“That’s good.”

Megrez said with a smile, “If so, it shouldn’t exist for a while.”

Ning Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes as if deep in thought.

“A few days ago, the power of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital in Tiannan changed. Did you know that?” Megrez asked.

…

Ning Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, nodded and said without expression, “Yes. It’s Senluo Hall in Tiannan now.”

“So, it’s the perfect time for you to go to Tiannan.”

Megrez said with a smile, “You lead the Tiannan Freedom Corps. And, they’re your most trusted former subordinates. Everything is well worth doing.”

Ning Zhiyuan said nothing.

His most trusted former subordinates…

They were the real direct descendants cultivated by him in the Eastern Theater of Operations for years.

However, he had sent those direct descendants to East Island in the final battle of Heaven Capital three years prior.

Everyone in the Zhongzhou State was discussing the madness of Ning Zhiyuan and the Eastern Theater of Operations.

The final battle of Heaven Capital did not disappoint anyone. The Eastern Theater of Operations had more than 100 masters above the Fire-flaming Realm, and over 90% ‘died in battle’ in Heaven Capital.

Ning Zhiyuan lost a lot of direct elite descendants in the past three years, so he had a hard time in the Eastern Theater of Operations.

Many people had laughed at Ning Zhiyuan.

They had said that he was a great general who was willing to send his confidant direct descendants to die.

Few people knew that Ning Zhiyuan had given them new life while sending his most immediate troops to die.

…

After rebirth, they were no longer soldiers of Zhongzhou State.

Three years later, those who ‘died in battle’ and had gone missing in the battlefield of Heaven Capital were still alive and formed an organization that was well-known in the Dark World.

The Purgatory of Heaven Capital.

Senluo Hall!

All his decisions were from Megrez’s advice, and he acted more crazily than Megrez had asked for.

The layout started early.

It was three years back, and even earlier.
