Chapter 2146 - 2146: Countermeasures

Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Since you all were willing to risk your lives to save Yao'er, I trust you."

He would definitely not say this to others.

Qin Chen said, "Commander Tang, I think to confirm the collusion between the Black Frog Clan and the Zen Heart Dragon Palace, we might need to visit Black Frog Lake."

Tang Zhen sighed, "I know that naturally, but who should we send?"

If it's Black Frog Lake, it's definitely a fatal mission.

Moreover, it would surely alert the enemy.

Most importantly, Tang Zhen had no suitable candidate; too strong, and the Black Frog Clan would certainly recognize them, but too weak and they would be useless.

Who would reveal top-secret information to mere soldiers?

"I'll go."

Qin Chen spoke, causing Tang Zhen's eyes to immediately focus.

Xuu Qian and the other two looked at Qin Chen in surprise, among them Xuu Qian said, "Boss, don't joke about this, earlier you used Jian Jia to infiltrate the Zen Heart Dragon Palace, that makes sense."

"Now, going to Black Frog Lake alone is surely a suicide mission."

Qin Chen said, "Liuw Sang is currently avoiding exposure of his intentions, which is why he's not appearing in Bahu Forest."

"Once he obtains the eight Dao Hearts, do you think he will stand by idly?"

"A Zen Heart Dharma King, at the weakest, is a Five-star Dao King. If he makes a move, Qian State Prefecture, and people like us, would definitely be done for, no one could stop him."

Tang Zhen again viewed Qin Chen in a new light, not expecting Qin Chen to see through it all.

"You're right, we indeed need to either compete against Liuw Sang for time or delay, because I've already requested reinforcements from Qian State Prefecture," Tang Zhen said.

Qin Chen said, "Commander Tang, didn't you just mention that the Dao Heart matter can't be reported? Given that, how would adding troops from Qian State Prefecture help?"

"What we need is a powerhouse capable of countering Liuw Sang."

Tang Zhen said, "What other method do we have?"

Tang Haiyao's face changed, "Dad, does that mean it's just a matter of time? Once he gathers eight Dao Hearts, what will you do?"

No one to restrain Liuw Sang, and Liuw Sang will inevitably gather eight Dao Hearts sooner or later!

By then, wouldn't Tang Zhen be the first in danger?

After all, Tang Zhen is the top commander of Bahu Forest.

The bird that sticks its neck out gets shot.

Tang Zhen solemnly said, "Yao'er, your father is a soldier, protecting Qian State is our duty and mission."

Tang Haiyao was very anxious, these principles she didn't understand when she was little, but now that she's grown, she does.

Without people like Tang Zhen, Qian State wouldn't be as relatively peaceful as it is today.

But understanding doesn't mean she can accept it.

"There's actually a way," Qin Chen said.

Tang Zhen opened his mouth, "You're suggesting I request a change of commander from Qian State Prefecture, right? Impossible, never in my life as Tang Zhen have I been a deserter, not even in death."

"Living life, one must have some faith, living just for survival, what's the point?"

Tang Haiyao remained silent.

Qin Chen said, "Commander Tang, the method I'm suggesting isn't that."

Tang Zhen hesitated, then looked at Qin Chen, "Then what method do you have?"

Honestly, he's been pondering this question.

No one wants to die.

But if left with no retreat, Tang Zhen would choose to fight.

This is the spirit of a soldier, especially a commander.

Tang Haiyao looked at Qin Chen with a face full of expectation.

Qin Chen said, "If we can quickly eliminate all Zen Heart Dragon Palace people in Bahu Forest, can't we return gloriously to the Qian State Prefecture?"

After all, the purpose of Tang Zhen coming to Bahu Forest was to destroy the Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples.

Tang Haiyao was stunned, then a look of joy appeared on her face, "Yes, dad, as long as all these people that Liuw Sang sent out to confuse us from the Zen Heart Dragon Palace are dead, it won't be related to you even if Liuw Sang personally makes a move afterward."

"At that time, Qian State Prefecture will naturally send people to deal with Liuw Sang - and you won't be dragged into it."

"Qin Chen, you're so smart."

Usually silent, Tang Haiyao was overjoyed at the moment, everyone could see she was genuinely happy.

However, Tang Zhen gave a bitter smile and said, "To tell you the truth, if we could quickly eliminate the Zen Heart Dragon Palace disciples in Bahu Forest, why wouldn't we solve the battle swiftly?"

"I definitely don't want to drag it out, after all, every day it gets delayed leads to soldiers dying at the hands of Zen Heart Dragon Palace disciples."

"Precisely because we couldn't achieve it, we end up in this stalemate; Zen Heart Dragon Palace and we are almost evenly matched."

These words immediately made the previously excited Tang Haiyao wilt like a frost-withered eggplant.

"Actually, it's possible."

Qin Chen said with a smile, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Tang Zhen said it wasn't possible, why did Qin Chen say it is?

Qin Chen said, "As long as we ally with the Colorful Frog Clan, we can kill this group of Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples entirely."

Tang Zhen's eyes narrowed, then he said, "But haven't we tried that before, and the Colorful Frog Clan simply doesn't trust us? You've been in Bahu Forest for a few days, you must have encountered the Colorful Frog Clan."

"They don't care whether we're from Qian State Prefecture or the Zen Heart Dragon Palace, as long as they see humans, they attack."

Qin Chen said, "So, it requires compelling evidence to show that we truly want to help them. After all, Bahu Forest is their territory."

"Now invaded by the Zen Heart Dragon Palace, their desire to restore peace in Bahu Forest is even stronger than ours."

Tang Zhen said, "And where would the evidence come from?"

Qin Chen smiled slightly, "Which is why I proposed going to Black Frog Lake. Once we confirm the collusion between the Black Frog Clan and Zen Heart Dragon Palace, we'll have the evidence, won't we?"

"Unless the entire Colorful Frog Clan has already colluded with the Zen Heart Dragon Palace, but that's impossible, because if so, there's no need for them to hide, and they have no reason to ally with the invading Zen Heart Dragon Palace."

"It could only be an exceptional case, someone joining hands with the Zen Heart Dragon Palace for certain purposes."

Tang Zhen gave Qin Chen a look of appreciation, even he hadn't thought of so much.

Tang Zhen said, "If you go to Black Frog Lake, whether you obtain evidence or not, I'll apply for a military merit reward of at least two hundred thousand for you."

With Qin Chen's analysis, things became much clearer.

"Of course, I don't insist, it's your choice to go or not. After all, to speak frankly, the responsibility for Bahu Forest matters should lie with me, not you," Tang Zhen said.

Qin Chen smiled, "Though I'm not as noble as Commander Tang, I'm willing to give it a try for two hundred thousand military merits."

Everyone could tell Qin Chen was joking; although two hundred thousand military merits were tempting, who would risk their life?

Qin Chen was indeed the most noble person he spoke of himself.
