In the following period of time, the number of people in Biluo Huangquan was slowly increasing, but while the number increased, the quality did not weaken at all.
Long Xiangtian, who had been idle for a long time, found Tang Yin and asked him about his next plan, but Tang Yin just told him to wait.
As for what they were waiting for, it was naturally the real fight between the remnants of the Eastern Emperor and the Zhuifeng Sect. Although Long Xiangtian didn't know why Tang Yin was so sure that the remnants of the Eastern Emperor and the Zhuifeng Sect would be able to fight, he felt more confident when he saw Tang Yin's high-spirited look.
Although he didn't know how long he would have to wait, Long Xiangtian could afford to wait. Anyway, he still needed to work hard on the formation and consolidating his cultivation.
A month passed just like that, Biluo Huangquan was still busy, and Long Xiangtian's cultivation was much more solid than before. Although there was no major breakthrough in the formation, it was only because he wanted to accumulate his strength for a breakthrough.
Long Xiangtian spent a month organizing the third-grade formation, and also memorized the trajectories of the only few fourth-grade formation diagrams.
It can be said that although Long Xiangtian has never used a fourth-grade formation, he is already qualified theoretically.
What Long Xiangtian lacks now is more practical experience and training, which will allow him to achieve deeper achievements in formation.
Long Xiangtian wondered if he should continue to go out and cause some trouble. In Long Xiangtian's mind, only training could make him stronger. Staying here honestly every day would make his cultivation progress quite slowly.
"Long Xiangtian, I have something to entrust to you." Just as Long Xiangtian was hesitating, Tang Yin suddenly pushed him away.
"What's the matter?" Long Xiangtian became excited. He had a premonition that since Tang Yin came to find him it was definitely not an easy matter. This was exactly what he needed now.
"Murder." Tang Yin said it very simply, but it was full of blood.
"Kill who?"
"Kill the people from Dongdi City."
"Kill who?"
"Gong Zizheng."
Long Xiangtian was slightly stunned. The name Gong Zizheng sounded closely related to Gong Ziyu. He was probably his brother or something like that.
"Why kill him?" Long Xiangtian was not questioning anything, he just wanted to know why he wanted to kill him, or to say, he wanted to know Tang Yin's next plan.
"For one person, the commander-in-chief of Dongdi City, Ma Tao."
Only then did Long Xiangtian know the name of the middle-aged general. He had intended to recruit him before, but failed in the end. What did the killing of Gong Zizheng have to do with Ma Tao
Afterwards, Tang Yin explained to him one of the many things that Biluo Huangquan had been busy with recently, which was that Ma Tao's forces were being suppressed everywhere in Dongdi City, and even his son almost lost his life again.
Outsiders all thought that the Gong family wanted to take action against Ma Tao, but in fact, behind each of these things, there was the push of Biluo Huangquan.
After Tang Yin learned from Long Xiangtian that Ma Tao was rebellious, he had the idea of subduing him and making him his assistant.
However, he also knew that it would be difficult to start with Ma Tao. After all, Ma Tao had chosen a path that was almost blindly loyal.
Perhaps when Gong Ziyu really wants to kill Ma Tao, Ma Tao will regret it, but Tang Yin does not want to see such a scene. What he wants first is a living Ma Tao.
So since Ma Tao didn't work, Tang Yin turned his attention to the Gong family.
Gong Ziyu is obviously not suitable. This man must have considerable abilities to stand out and become the leader of the remnants of the Eastern Emperor. If you want to control him, you may end up sacrificing yourself.
But it was different for his half-brother Gong Zizheng. In order to better control Dongyu, Gong Ziyu did not take action against his brother too early even though he was now the emperor. This left Tang Yin with an opportunity.
It didn't take long for Tang Yin to replace many of the people around Gong Zizhen with people from Biluo Huangquan. However, Gong Zizhen was not a scheming person and did not notice the changes around him at all.
Things that followed were much simpler. Tang Yin didn't even have to use any tricks to make Gong Zizheng hate Ma Tao.
Then, taking advantage of Gong Zi's vengeful character, he naturally began to suppress Ma Tao's forces.
In fact, Gong Ziyu must have known what Gong Zizhen had done to Ma Tao, but he did not express his opinion, which also showed his attitude.
When Gong Zizhen saw that his brother had acquiesced, he became even more evil and even attacked Ma Tao's son. However, in the end, his "perfect" plan went wrong for some reason and Ma Tao's son actually ran away.
This unknown problem was naturally caused by Tang Yin's men. Ma Tao still needed to work for them, and he didn't want to kill someone else's son like this.
When this incident happened, Gong Ziyu knew that his younger brother had taken things too far. Although he had done the same thing before, he had not dared to do it so obviously. But his younger brother's methods were a bit low-level.
He immediately assigned a military advisor to Ma Tao, who ostensibly was there to assist Ma Tao but who was actually there to monitor his every move.
It can be said that Ma Tao has been imprisoned now, and if he has any signs of disloyalty, he will be discovered immediately.
This was the situation Tang Yin wanted to see, but it was not what he wanted to see.
This is what he wanted to see because Ma Tao has now completely torn his face with the remnants of the Eastern Emperor. Tang Yin didn't believe that Ma Tao, whose son was almost killed, would still be as hesitant as before.
If Gong Ziyu had not been afraid of military turmoil, he would not have imprisoned Ma Tao. Killing him directly is the safest way. Ma Tao must have understood this in his heart.
This is not what Tang Yin wants to see because Ma Tao is trapped in Dongdi City. If he doesn't rescue him, he still can't use him for his own purposes.
Therefore, what Tang Yin wanted Long Xiangtian to do was not only to kill people, but also to save people. In fact, saving people was more important. As for killing Gong Zizheng, it was just to cut off Ma Tao's retreat.
The recent conflict between Gong Zizheng and Ma Tao has become known to everyone in Dongyu. If Gong Zizheng died at this time, no matter whether Gong Ziyu could find the real murderer or not, she would definitely kill Ma Tao first.
Therefore, Tang Yin's strategy was to force Ma Tao into a dead end first, and then give him a way out, so that he wouldn't have to worry about him not going forward.
After listening to Tang Yin's explanation, Long Xiangtian was quite impressed by Tang Yin's somewhat dirty scheme. No matter the beginning or the end, this matter was all done by Tang Yin. Tang Yin calculated all of them and finally wanted to kill Gong Zizheng. It turned out that none of these people born in the imperial family were easy to deal with.
