Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 278 Reform

"Tell me more," Song Yufeng said, immediately becoming serious.

"Actually, you're really unlucky. The King's Staff originally only had its eye on the Deep Pool, which was causing trouble here. Oh, and maybe the Deep Sea Church was involved too. But the day the Seven Luminaries arrived was the same day you went to see Toria. While investigating Toria, the Seven Luminaries took a picture of you."

Then, Qiyao naturally went to see the local army, specifically Colonel Hamilton. At that time, you had just been cleared of suspicion, but when Qiyao showed you the photograph, everything changed again.

"So this is just a coincidence?"

"Indeed, a coincidence within a coincidence," Hai Mao said casually.

"But why are they investigating Deep Pool? Who commissioned them?"

“That’s the key.” Hai Mao took out a photo, and in the photo was a man that Song Yu Feng found familiar.

Tracy...

Song Yufeng's eyes instantly sharpened.

"Is that right? How could Kazdel possibly be related to the Staff of Kings? Theresis is the Regent, and I think the people of the Staff of Kings would love for Theresis to die quickly. How could they possibly accept his commission to investigate the Deep Pool? Besides, why would Theresis want to investigate the Deep Pool? Aren't the few armies outside Londinium enough of a headache for him?" Song Yufeng asked a series of questions.

"These details are unclear at the moment, but what is certain is that it was a commission given by Theresis."

Song Yufeng scratched his head, he really couldn't figure out what the relationship was between Theresis and the Staff of Kings.

"Furthermore, I have even more interesting news to tell you. You told me before that Qiyao, like you, knows the technique of Still Water Ripples. I checked and found that at some point, a woman from Yan Kingdom joined the Staff of Kings. It was this woman who taught Qiyao Still Water Ripples. And what's even more interesting is that this woman's surname is Xiao."

Song Yufeng immediately stood up, excitedly exclaiming, "So, this woman is very likely Grandpa Xiao's granddaughter who ran away from home many years ago?!"

"Probably."

“Then I’ll have to try to contact the members of the King’s Staff. If I can win her back, at least Grandpa Xiao will have a real blood relative by his side in the end.” Song Yufeng said calmly, “But I think it will be very difficult.”

"In short, that's all I've found out about this for now. They've done a good job keeping it a secret. I plan to go and meet with the King's Staff and see if I can pry anything out of them."

"sorry to bother you."

"What trouble... I was careless this time. I underestimated their intelligence system... Never mind, I won't say any more. You should get some rest and then do your job well," Hai Mao said, and then went out again.

Song Yufeng always felt that Hai Mao must have done a lot of work behind the scenes, and Song Yufeng became more and more interested in Hai Mao's identity.

In the following days, Song Yufeng surprisingly avoided getting involved in any major events, and Hamilton also disappeared, seemingly because Hai Mao had resolved the issue.

“His usefulness is over, it’s time for him to disappear.” These are Hai Mao’s exact words.

Use value? What use value? Song Yufeng asked, but Hai Mao wouldn't say, and since then, he had never heard of Hamilton again, including from Deep Pool, where the spy planted next to Hamilton was nowhere to be seen.

Hamilton is probably already dead...

The information from Deep Pool has been sent over and is waiting for Song Yufeng to review it. As for Lilina, apart from the occasional nighttime sneaking into Song Yufeng's bed (of course, Song Yufeng usually wakes her up immediately and throws her off), Song Yufeng is quite satisfied with Lilina.

She was too smart. She could understand the things that Song Yufeng taught her almost instantly. He also taught Lilina to learn Yan language. As a result, she could already have a conversation in Yan language in just one day. In just five days, she had almost mastered Yan language. This gave Song Yufeng a bold idea: what if he taught her the "Stopping War with Martial Arts" sword technique?

So on the sixth day after Lilina arrived at the agency, Song Yufeng taught her Still Water Ripples in just half an hour! She learned Still Water Ripples in just half an hour, and she only spent three hours to reach the level that Song Yufeng had taken more than ten days to achieve with the first move of the Martial Arts Stopping the War Blade Technique, External Thousand Wounds.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying! Such comprehension and learning ability would make him a martial arts prodigy, a once-in-a-millennium talent in the Yan Kingdom's martial arts world.

No wonder he was able to become a leader.

On the other hand, Song Yufeng also began to make changes to the deep pool system.

Deeppool's military structure mainly follows that of Victoria. Currently, Deeppool has 10 regular military personnel, but if a real conflict were to break out, Deeppool's military personnel could expand to 38 at once. This force is already quite exaggerated. However, Song Yufeng discovered that Deeppool's military equipment is insufficient.

Only those 100,000 people had equipment, and about 50,000 of them were not fully equipped, which is somewhat similar to the situation at the beginning of the Minghuang.

In response, Song Yufeng gave Abrahana the Black Steel International business card.

Song Yufeng believed that if she had a duke backing her, she certainly wouldn't be short of money. At the same time, he gave Abrahana the contact information for the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce.

"Just buy whatever you need next, mention my name, but don't explain our relationship. Just say that I met you when I was passing through Victoria, and don't reveal anything else," Song Yufeng said.

"Song Yufeng, you've really been a huge help to us," Abrahana said with a smile.

"It's nothing, but if I find out that these military supplies are being used to slaughter civilians, I'll make you regret it." Song Yufeng said before leaving.

Song Yufeng made some changes in other areas, but the focus of his reforms was on the ideological field.

Song Yufeng incorporated the protection of civilians and infected individuals into his ideological outline, requiring every member of the Deep Pool to comply.

“We are a violent organization, but a mild form of violence. We don’t commit massacres; that’s no different from being a beast. I can’t lay a hand on innocent civilians or infected people. Instead, we must unite with them because we have all suffered persecution at Victoria’s hands. In this respect, we are the same kind of people.” This is a tactic often used by Song Yufeng. He emphasizes unity far more than differences.

"But what can we do in response to our enemies? There are no words of weakness, only swords and bloodshed. Some may ask, who are our enemies? In short, our enemies are those who endanger this land and this country. Specifically, they are the Deep Sea Church, the Sarkaz army in Londinim, and those die-hards who still dream of restoring the glory of the Victorian Empire and want to continue oppressing the people."
