C2396 The Thoughts of the White Lotus Cult

Shi Dafu's eyes lit up when he heard the goatee. This was indeed a good idea. It wasn't like he didn't put in any effort. It was just that he wouldn't put in so much effort. He would just leave it to Wang Cheng's men. At that time, Wang Cheng's men and the Imperial Guards would suffer heavy losses, and he would come out to save them. Not only could he ensure the success of the operation, but he could also weaken Wang Cheng's forces. At the same time, it would also increase his prestige.

"When we are snatching the spoils of war, our men can snatch those precious items first." The goatee continued: "Although we have already agreed to distribute them according to the contribution points However, when it comes to specific implementation, it is not impossible to make some small movements. The scene was so chaotic that Wang Cheng's men might not be able to notice it. Furthermore, even if they did, under the condition that their strength had been damaged... [They won't dare to completely fall out with us. We are not much weaker than them...] Furthermore, they were ordered to fight the Great Lu Dynasty men with their lives on the line. If we make good use of them, we can even surpass them. At that time, we won't have to worry about falling out with them. "

"Not bad, not bad." Shi Dafu said with a smile on his face.

Shi Dafu agreed with Goatee's analysis. Their strength wasn't much weaker than Wang Cheng's. This time, Wang Cheng had to fight with the Imperial Guards in front of them. In that case, the final difference in strength between the two of them... In fact, they might even be able to overtake them. It was not impossible.

Under such circumstances, even if Wang Cheng had shed all pretenses of cordiality with him after the incident, he wasn't afraid anymore. Besides, if the operation went smoothly... Then, the war between the Great Lu Dynasty and the Fengjue Country would erupt once again. At that time, the temporary alliance between them would come to an end. The alliance between the Rebellion Force would become hostile. Under such circumstances, what could they do even if they shed all pretenses of cordiality? In any case, they were going to become enemies. If they did, then so be it. It wasn't a big deal. Even if they didn't do it immediately, it wouldn't be a big deal. After that, they would also fall out with each other.

Seeing that Shi Dafu agreed with his suggestion, the goateed man revealed a proud smile. He had followed Shi Dafu for so long, and had always been dealing with the things written on the text. He was not in an important position, which made him feel uneasy. Especially when he felt that he was very capable, he was naturally very dissatisfied with the current situation.

However, he did not have the chance to perform meritorious deeds before, so it was not a problem for him not to be put in an important position. Now, his opinion was finally accepted by Shi Dafu. That meant that he would slowly be put in an important position. This naturally made him feel very pleased with himself.

However, Shi Dafu and the goateed man had somewhat underestimated Wang Cheng. The reason why Wang Cheng did not expand too quickly in terms of numbers over the past few years was because he was walking the path of elite soldiers. The combat strength of his men was not something that the other Rebellion Force could compare with.

After a few years of steady fighting, Wang Cheng already had a very good fighting army under his command. Furthermore, he had even surpassed them in terms of numbers. It could be said that in terms of strength, Wang Cheng had already surpassed the other Rebellion Force by a lot. This included Shi Dafu's power.

However, Shi Dafu had never fought Wang Cheng before. His judgment of Wang Cheng's power was that of a simple and crude number of people. In his point of view, having more people meant that they were strong. The difference in strength between each army wouldn't be too big.

In terms of numbers, although Wang Cheng had more people under his command, it wasn't too exaggerated to have more people than him. Therefore, he felt that the gap in strength between him and Wang Cheng wasn't that big.

However, the truth was that Wang Cheng's strength had already surpassed Shi Dafu and the others by a lot. Even if Wang Cheng was severely injured this time, Shi Dafu might not be a match for him.

It was not only Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu who had thoughts about the family sending team. The White Lotus Cult that did not appear at the gathering place was still thinking about the family sending team.

The White Lotus Cult was the first force to attack the family sending team. However... It was also the force that had suffered the greatest loss so far. They had failed twice in a row and lost a lot of manpower. At the same time, it had also caused their prestige in the Rebellion Force to suffer a loss. After all, as long as they lost a battle, it wouldn't be a matter of face no matter who they fought.

Regarding this situation, the Sect Master of the White Lotus Cult, Bai Yufei, wasn't in a bad mood. Even though he had failed twice, he still hadn't given up.

It was just that the Imperial Court was paying special attention to them right now. Furthermore... The other side of the wedding procession had also raised their vigilance. Hence... Bai Yufei didn't make another move. However, for the time being, he didn't make a move. It didn't mean that they had given up. In fact, they had been looking for a chance to strike again. However, they had failed twice in a row. They didn't have the confidence to do so. They didn't dare to attack recklessly.

As a member of the Rebellion Force, and one of the more important members... Bai Yufei was very concerned about the movements of the other Rebellion Force. Because, he knew that the major powers who had thoughts about sending their families off were... He wasn't the only one. He also believed that the people of the other major powers... They were also looking for a chance to make a move.

Sure enough, not long after, Bai Yufei found out that the other Rebellion Force were gathering at Camel Peak under Wang Cheng's organization. As for why they were gathering, Bai Yufei didn't need to ask to know.

According to the rules, as one of the Rebellion Force's disciples, Bai Yufei should be able to participate in this gathering. Furthermore, they were the only major power that had fought with the Imperial Guards until now. They could provide more accurate information about the people of the other major powers. They would certainly welcome their arrival.

However, Bai Yufei and his White Lotus Cult didn't go. The previous two operations had failed. At the same time, he felt that he had lost face. If they went to the gathering at this time, they would certainly become the focal point of the discussion of the other major powers. And in these discussions, unpleasant words would definitely take up the majority. After all, they weren't true allies. When they saw that the White Lotus Cult was at a disadvantage... Many people were secretly delighted in their hearts.

Therefore, Bai Yufei didn't want to go there and lose face. Furthermore, even if he went there, he wouldn't be in the dominant position. It would be better if he didn't go.

"Do you know the plan they discussed?" Bai Yufei asked his subordinate.

Bai Yufei was actually still a young man. In the past, his family was also a rich family. However, he was later framed by the local officials, which led to his family's decline. After that, Bai Yufei walked on the path of rebellion.

However, unlike the others, Bai Yufei did not directly rebel. Instead, he did not rebel. He chose to establish the White Lotus Cult, because he knew... Now, many people were forced by reality to live a very difficult life. These people lived a very poor life in reality. So... They needed a place of spiritual sustenance so that they could live happily... And religion was obviously a good idea.

Sure enough, his White Lotus Cult was founded not long ago. It attracted quite a number of people to join. Most of these people came from poor families. And this was what Bai Yufei wanted. Because these people no longer had any hope in the real world. Furthermore, they had no good impression of the Imperial Court. Hence, they could be encouraged to rebel together with him.

Furthermore, these people were influenced by religion and reality. During a battle, they showed that they were not afraid of death. Although their combat strength was not as good as theirs... However, as long as he had this spirit... The strength he displayed was still very strong.

Before the fight with the Imperial Guards, Bai Yufei and his followers... They had already exchanged blows with the army of the Imperial Court, and each time, they would be able to obtain a good result. They were one of the few who could defeat the army of the Imperial Court. That was why they had the confidence to take action against the imperial court's bridal escort team.

However, they were obviously careless this time. They did not expect that... The Imperial Court's Imperial Guards was actually so powerful that they had suffered losses twice in a row. This had caused them to lose a lot of their strength. At the same time, they didn't dare to act rashly.

However, Bai Yufei didn't give up. He had been waiting for a better opportunity.

"I've heard about it." The subordinate told Bai Yufei about what he had heard.

Although those people from the Rebellion Force had been keeping the opportunity of the ambush a secret. Besides, the White Lotus Cult was a member of the Rebellion Force. Naturally, the people of the other major powers weren't as wary of them. Therefore, it wouldn't be a problem for them to gather some information.1

"This Wang Cheng still has some tricks up his sleeve." Bai Yufei said after listening to Wang Cheng's plan.

If they followed Wang Cheng's plan, then those people would have a high chance of success. After all, those people were all gathered together, and their strength was much higher than the White Lotus Cult. In addition to Wang Cheng's plan of feigning defeat and luring the enemy, there was also a group of people who didn't prepare to send them off. The possibility of failure was still very high.

"Sect Master, what should we do?" The subordinate asked.

This was indeed a problem, they didn't participate in the previous gathering. Then, it would naturally be troublesome to participate in the operations of other forces. After all, they had not been there before. If they were to suddenly go now... Some things were not right. However, if he didn't go... Then... If the other forces succeeded, they wouldn't have any advantages at all. No spoils of war, no increase in reputation, didn't that mean... Their previous two operations' losses had all been in vain?

This was clearly unacceptable.
