Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1149 578: Mr. Kong Fang (Monthly Ticket Request)

"I'm going to hunt foxes, we'll chat later when I have time." Luo Yanjun wriggled her way towards the pool.

Li Banfeng asked, "Are you personally going to catch the fox?"

Luo Yanjun laughed, "Is it that easy to find a fox? If I go and end up with nothing but fuss, it has to be the hounds that do it, their noses are the sharpest."

Li Banfeng still wanted to ask which dog she would take, but Luo Yanjun was not willing to say more.

Standing in her position, saying more could cost her life.

Luo Yanjun jumped into the pool.

Feng Daiku was a clever person, he understood every word clearly.

Luo Yanjun said she wanted to dig in the mountain, by mountain she meant Puluo State, and Old Hu was referring to the peddler, Old Hu's men referred to the people from Snowflake Beach.

A lot of people from Snowflake Beach have been killed recently, the peddler has been silent, from this perspective, the peddler might indeed be in trouble.

What is certain now is that the Inner State is still watching, and without precise news about the peddler, they won't act easily.

But the Inner State is likely to obtain specific news soon.

The old fox they mentioned should be the second in command of Snowflake Beach, Mr. Kong Fang.

Li Banfeng didn't know what kind of strength this person had, but he was sure about one thing, if Mr. Kong Fang were killed by the Inner State and the peddler didn't respond, the Inner State would definitely send troops.

Where is Mr. Kong Fang? Where can he be found?

It's quite laughable, Snowflake Beach and Li Banfeng have a deep-seated grudge, yet now Li Banfeng has to find a way to protect the second in command of Snowflake Beach.

But thinking it over, does this person really need my protection?

Mr. Kong Fang's strength should be above Du Wenming, it might not be that easy for the Inner State to kill such a person.

First, gather information about him and then decide, even if he is really dead, Li Banfeng must be on guard.

Li Banfeng instructed Feng Daiku, "Pass the information to Ma Junyang, tell him not to panic, He Family, Lu Family, and Chu Family all need to stay calm, without receiving news from me, no one should act rashly..."

Before he finished speaking, the projector reminded, "The simple phone is ringing."

Li Banfeng answered Luo Zhengnan's call and learned that Liao Zihui was looking for him everywhere.

How did he know I was in Puluo State?

Liao Zihui didn't know Li Banfeng was in Puluo State, he tried to find Li Banfeng through Shen Jingye but failed, then through Ma Wu to find him, Ma Wu contacted Luo Zhengnan, and that's how he found Li Banfeng.

...

Defense Agency, Liao Zihui was anxiously waiting for news in the office, he suddenly turned around and saw Li Qi sitting on the sofa, brewing tea.

Seeing Li Qi so calm, Liao Zihui felt a bit more at ease, "Director Li, do you have any news about the peddler lately?"

Li Qi shook his head, "No."

Liao Zihui's heart tightened again, "Don't play games with me on this, I heard the peddler fought with the people from Above the Clouds, and now the Inner State is going to war, if the peddler is gone, Puluo State can't get past this hurdle."

Li Qi looked at Liao Zihui and said, "If the Inner State really invades, what are you planning to do?"

Liao Zihui said, "What else can I do? I listen to the higher-ups, if they tell me to fight, I'll fight, if they tell me to retreat, I can only retreat."

"Don't play games with me," Li Banfeng said emotionlessly, "what exactly does the higher-up mean?"

This matter can't be hidden, Li Banfeng has stayed in the Outside Provinces long enough to have some understanding of their style.

Liao Zihui pondered for a while and said, "The likelihood of retreat is higher."

This was within Li Banfeng's expectations, if the Inner State invades, the chance of the Outside Provinces fighting alongside Puluo State is almost negligible.

Liao Zihui added another sentence, "We definitely don't want war, we hope both sides can remain calm and try to resolve the issue through talks." It was obvious that Liao Zihui and his superiors still pinned their hopes on the Balancer.

Li Banfeng put down the teacup and first asked Liao Zihui about one thing, "The battle between the peddler and the Heavenly People, where did you get the news?"

"In Pillow City, someone witnessed that fierce battle with their own eyes."

"What's that person's background?"

"A cultivator from the Cloud Top First Layer named Ye Haolong, he was supposed to be asleep that day, not sure for what reason he suddenly woke up and happened to see that fierce battle."

"What do you mean he was supposed to be asleep that day?"

"Don't you know the customs of Pillow City? All year round, they only work for one season, and the other three seasons they sleep, during this season, no one should be awake in Pillow City."

Li Banfeng heard Ma Wu mention Pillow City, but he truly hadn't been there.

"Give me Ye Haolong's address, I'll go ask him what exactly happened that day."

Liao Zihui gave Ye Haolong's address to Li Banfeng, "I heard Ye Haolong fell asleep again, it won't be easy to wake him."

"With such a big incident, can he still sleep?"

"Bro, he's from Pillow City, even if the sky is falling, as long as there's a pillow, he can sleep."

"I'll burn his pillow," Li Banfeng took the address and asked about the second thing, "do you have any news from Snowflake Beach?"

Liao Zihui replied, "That depends on whose news it is."

Li Banfeng said, "The higher up the news source, the better."

Liao Zihui thought for a moment, his words came out a bit vague, "Du Wenming, does he count as a high-level figure of Snowflake Beach?"

Li Banfeng nodded, "Yes, do you have news about him?"

Liao Zihui said, "I can go and inquire, Du Wenming is currently wanted, and the Defense Agency has been searching for his whereabouts."

"If there's any clue, let me know immediately." Just as Li Banfeng was about to walk out of the office, Liao Zihui called after him.
