We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"Dingfang, why have you gathered all these people together, yet not allowed them to leave without permission? What exactly are you planning?" Tao Wenxuan asked his nephew curiously.

Tao Dingfang smiled after hearing this: "Uncle, don't you think Baishi City is too chaotic right now?"

"what do you mean?"

"To deal with external threats, we must first stabilize internal ones. Without the obstruction of these martial arts forces, it won't be long before we can stabilize White Stone City. Then, we can free up our resources to deal with Lianyun Village."

"However..." Tao Wenxuan had no objection after learning of Tao Dingfang's idea, but he had more to consider. "If there are no martial arts forces in the city to suppress it, we may not be able to take care of everything at the front with our own strength."

"That's fine. With the Han family's assistance, plus the three hundred soldiers I brought, that's enough!" Tao Wenxuan said without any worry. "Moreover..."

"And what?" Tao Wenxuan asked.

Tao Dingfang's smile faded, and his gaze became slightly profound: "Moreover, I suspect that some of these martial artists may be colluding with the Rebirth Sect, but it's not certain yet."

What are your thoughts?

"Not yet, we'll talk about it later."

"Okay, you can decide."

……

The silver moon, like a plate, hangs in the sky, its cool light pouring down and enveloping the earth.

Rumble!
A deafening sound, like an earthquake, came from ahead, instantly alerting the city guards on night watch.

"Oh no! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The city guards, seeing the bandits approaching from not far away, were terrified and blew their horns, alerting countless people.

"Where is the enemy?"

A general who heard the commotion rushed over and asked in a deep voice.

“It’s right outside the city!” the city guard said.

As he spoke, he led the general up the city wall. Just as they reached the top, another guard spoke up: "Sir, it's confirmed, they are from Lianyun Village, but..."

"but what?"

"But they just left."

Upon hearing this, the general was taken aback, then looked into the distance and indeed spotted the traces of the Lianyun Village group at the end of his line of sight, which quickly disappeared into the forest.

Seeing this, he wondered what the bandits of Lianyun Village were up to.
Without hesitation, he quickly reported the matter. When Tao Dingfang learned of it, he simply ordered them to send more people to keep a close watch to prevent Lianyun Village from attacking the city.

Three days in a row.

This happens every night.

The people from Lianyun Village seemed to be just going through the motions. After circling around Baishi City, they turned and left before the city guards could even react.

At first, the city guards were on high alert, but after a while, they gradually got used to it, though they still reported it.

Upon learning this, Tao Dingfang roughly guessed Lianyun Village's intentions, warned the city guards not to let their guard down, and sent some more people to strengthen their defenses.

These past few days, both Tao Wenxuan and Tao Dingfang have been very busy, but fortunately, their efforts have been quite fruitful.

Three days later, the chaotic city of Baishi gradually calmed down under the forceful intervention of the government.

Although the pre-rebellion tranquility has not been restored, the fighting in the streets has decreased significantly, and some vendors have gradually resumed selling their goods.

As order gradually returned to normal in Baishi City, Zhu Hu and others were discussing matters far away in Linjiabao.

"This Tao Dingfang is really patient; he hasn't made a move for so long!" Zhu Bao grumbled.

Above him, besides Zhu Hu, Sun Yun was also present.

Hearing Zhu Bao's words, Zhu Hu looked at Sun Yun and said, "Tao Dingfang is currently reorganizing the forces in the city. Once he finishes, he will likely attack us. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to seize Baishi City in one fell swoop?" "No rush!" Sun Yun shook his head calmly. "Tao Dingfang is not simple. He has already guessed our plans. Here's what we'll do: starting tomorrow, send someone to spread the word that Lianyun Village is going to attack Baishi City. Tell them to prepare."

"Huh? What does this mean?" Zhu Bao asked, taken aback.

Sun Yun laughed and said, "Just do as I say, and then send some people to cause trouble during the day. In short, remember, if they really send troops, you should retreat."

"it is good!"

Another three days passed.

The soldiers guarding Whitestone City were all exhausted, both physically and mentally.

The people from Lianyun Village not only launched surprise attacks at night, but also deliberately caused trouble during the day.

Since the news of Lianyun Village was released, there have been many more guards at the city gate during the day.

Although they did indeed encounter the people from Lianyun Village, they were like rats, only capable of barking but not of taking any action.

This continued for three days in a row.

One of the generals was so angry that he reported the matter to Tao Dingfang. He thought Tao Dingfang would take the opportunity to make a move, but Tao Dingfang just said lightly that everyone should wait and see and not take any action.

This left the city's defenders feeling helpless.

However, he did not disobey orders and could only watch helplessly as the people from Lianyun Village challenged them, and then left.

This went on and on, and although I was still angry every time, I gradually got used to it.

On this day, Tao Dingfang found Tao Wenxuan and said bluntly, "We can begin."

"Tonight?" Tao Wenxuan was somewhat surprised. Why the rush?
Tao Dingfang nodded: "That's right. The soldiers have probably been holding back their anger for a while now. This is a good opportunity for them to vent. Besides, the people from Lianyun Village probably didn't expect us to take action tonight."

"Are those martial artists also going to set off?" Tao Wenxuan asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, this time I'm going to wipe out Lianyun Village in one fell swoop!"

"But didn't you say there was a traitor among these people?" Tao Wenxuan asked doubtfully.

"Hahaha, it is precisely because there is a traitor within that we must act tonight. Uncle, just watch as I wipe out Lianyun Village in one fell swoop."

Tao Dingfang laughed and offered no explanation.

"What, they're going to make their move at midnight tonight?"

Upon receiving the news, Hong Ming and the others were all shocked; this was too sudden.

The soldiers didn't explain much, but told everyone to get ready and that they would assemble in advance.

After the soldiers left, Hong Ming looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said, "I don't need to elaborate on the danger of this operation. Just remember one thing: be careful."

Su Chen and the others nodded solemnly, all aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Shortly after Hong Ming and his group received the news, Lianyun Village also received the news.

In the lobby.

Sun Yun and his two companions looked at the message sent back from the city, which read: "Make your move at midnight tonight. Burn this message after reading!"

"Make a move at midnight? It seems Tao Dingfang can't wait any longer and wants to catch us off guard!" Zhu Bao chuckled and said disdainfully, "Unfortunately, he doesn't know that we've already seen through his plan!"

However, Sun Yun and Zhu Hu, standing to the side, did not have many smiles on their faces.

“Something’s not right. This news seems to have been deliberately leaked by him,” Zhu Hu said in a deep voice.

"We'll find out tonight if that's the case!" Sun Yun said after thinking for a moment, his gaze becoming deep.
