Right after Yun Xi had left with Jin Lei, Qi Yuan knocked on Mu Feichi’s door and entered the suite.
“Young Marshal, are you really intending for Jin Lei to take Yun Xi up the mountain? Knowing Jin Lei, Miss Yun may have a hard ti.”
“I can’t be soft on her when it cos to what she has to learn. Let him be, he knows where to draw the line.”
Mu Feichi wasn’t worried about this training session. He looked at Qi Yuan. “How is the situation on the mountain going?”
“We have it under control. We sent so of our n to follow the people that we intentionally let go. The best scenario will be if we can find their hiding place, but, if that fails, we’ll just have to wait for another opportunity.”
“After the incident on the boat when the fake Crocodile was captured, the real Crocodile wouldn’t make another move this soon. Make sure that our n thoroughly investigate this incident. If those people were not sent by Crocodile, then we have to be on guard and figure out where they ca from.”
“Yes, I understand.” Qi Yuan completely understood the importance of this matter. He would never allow anyone seeking to harm the Young Marshal to go free.
Qi Yuan raised his head and glanced at Mu Feichi as if he had just thought of sothing, but was hesitating on how to bring it up.
Mu Feichi glanced at him. “If there’s sothing you want to say, just say it.”
“Do you really not intend to tell Miss Yun about Crocodile? At least, if she knows the truth, she will be able to stay cautious.”
“She is always cautious, there is no need for you to remind her. It is a good habit she has. If you tell her, she will instead get bogged down. Everything will be fine as long as we don’t make a mistake, and we must make sure that her safety is never compromised.”
“Okay, you’re right.” Qi Yuan nodded. “Also, various departnts in Jun Country are electing new leaders soon. There may be another huge power shuffle this ti, as all the various factions are raring to make their moves. Be it on the military side or the Pri Minister’s side, there are probably quite a lot of people who won’t be sitting in governnt any longer.”
“An election happens every three years, yet Jun Country always makes such a big deal of it. Those people who believe that they are the predators and recklessly put everything they have into this fight have probably forgotten the existence of hunters. Let them fight it out, we will observe the situation. However, you must have soone investigate each faction thoroughly. I don’t want anything out of the ordinary to happen.”
“Got it. I understand.”
Jun Country’s current power dynamics had been established not just with the system of checks and balances worked out between the three noble families and the four wealthy families. Other factions were also involved.
No matter whether they reported directly to the president or if they seed to be unaffiliated and independent, the military and other political agencies were all actually indispensable chess pieces.
Each chess piece had its use. If even one chess piece made a wrong move, the whole ga would be thrown into turmoil.
“How are things going with Yun Yuanfeng?”
“It is all arranged. Since he knows that there is a chance for him to make contact with Mu Feichi, he has been trying to use all of his connections to et you just once.”
“When we’re back in Jingdu, please find a ti to arrange the eting.”
“I will.” Qi Yuan was quiet for a mont, but then brought up sothing that had surprised him. “Sothing else. The Qiao family has been making a lot of moves recently. The Pri Minister may be intending to bring them to his side. I don’t really understand it.”
“What don’t you understand?” Mu Feichi looked up. “You don’t understand why the Pri Minister might choose to make connections with the Qiao family instead of the Han family, which has been involved in so much gossip?”
“Yes...helping the Qiao family co into power now is not a wise move.”
“How do you know that there isn’t soone pulling the strings behind the scenes?”
“Hmm? What do you an?”
“Currently, Jingdu is stable and balanced. It would be impossible for the Pri Minister to make space for the Qiao family in this balanced landscape even if he wanted to. However, if I want the Qiao family to co into power, then the Qiao family will definitely co into power.”
“So, having the Qiao family co into power is actually your intention?”
“That’s right.”
