Chapter 319 Setting Up a Good Plan

"Huh?"

Hu Ma's bombshell clearly startled the other three reincarnators.

Miss White Wine seemed the most shocked, her voice of surprise and doubt noticeably louder than the others.

"This is precisely why I want to seize this opportunity."

Hu Ma was pleased with their reaction. He lowered his voice appropriately and said, "Actually, I can't completely see through that old tree stump either. He's too mysterious. But from the various details I've observed, I'm eighty or ninety percent sure."

"Now, I've already made contact with that little clerk he appointed. I also know that the Five Vicious Gods are coming, seemingly heading towards Old Yin Mountain. We don't know the specific reason, but it probably involves some grudges that outsiders don't know about!"

"But since they're going to fight, if I just lend a hand, wouldn't I have the chance to use that little clerk's connections to get in touch with that influential figure?"

"..."

He had thought out his words in advance, speaking them quickly to avoid giving others a chance to doubt, instead letting them sink into thought.

"No..."

The first to react, and somewhat opposed to the idea, was Erguotou: "If, as you say, that person in Old Yin Mountain really is that influential figure, then..."

"Then his level is so high, shouldn't you be avoiding him instead of getting closer?"

"..."

"I don't know if this is the right thing to do..."

Hu Ma sighed upon hearing this, saying, "But I just feel like this is a rare opportunity. After all, I worshipped him when I was a child. And because of the Blue Robe incident, I caught his eye again. If I can perform well in this matter, how big of an opportunity would that be?"

Saying that, he didn't explain further, instead directly asking, "If it were you, would you get closer to him, or further away?"

Did he even need to ask?

Erguotou subconsciously wanted to retort that, of course, he'd stay far away from such a person, the further the better, even moving away if necessary.

But Sweet Potato Wine loudly interjected, "Of course you'd climb up the pole!"

"What is this? This is the hidden Boss in the mountain, this is a ready-made old grandpa..."

"Not to mention how much we can earn this time, the main thing is that we'll have a big backer from now on. Wouldn't entering Old Yin Mountain be the same as having a powerful patron?"

She paused slightly, expectantly saying, "Old Yin Mountain has so many treasures!"

Hu Ma secretly praised her: "Well done!"

Erguotou, upon hearing Sweet Potato Wine's words, deeply sighed: "You're still young, only focusing on the benefits, not thinking about..."

Before he could finish, Miss White Wine suddenly said, "I also think that if there's a real opportunity, we should seize it."

Erguotou was shocked: "Even you..."

Miss White Wine seemed to sigh, before saying, "Just being practical. Knowing that such an influential figure is hidden in Ming Prefecture already has a huge impact on us. After this, are we just going to stop doing anything in Ming Prefecture?"

"Heh, if we can guarantee a safe approach, it wouldn't hurt. After all, for Lao Baigan, he's already entered the other party's field of vision. Forcibly trying to escape is suspicious."

"..."

Erguotou: "Ah..."

Miss White Wine interrupted him again, saying, "Besides, others may not know, but you know me, and I've guessed about you."

"The two of us came to this small place, Ming Prefecture, precisely to find opportunities."

"What I want is in the court, what you want is in the mountains. We're both afraid to take them easily, lest we reveal our hand, so we usually have to hide in the dark, patiently waiting for opportunities."

"But now that an opportunity has presented itself, are you going to let it go?"

"..."

Sweet Potato Wine was extremely excited to hear Miss White Wine say this: "Exactly, exactly."

Hu Ma also said at the right time, "As expected, Miss White Wine sees things clearly."

Erguotou was a little dumbfounded, his worldview somewhat shaken: Wasn't avoiding the Ten Surnames, and those at too high a level, to avoid attracting trouble, always the iron rule of survival for reincarnators?

He was clearly the most rational of them all, so why did it seem like he was now in the minority?

"Of course, the specific approach also depends on how easy things are to do..."

Miss White Wine directly ended the topic and asked Hu Ma, "Your calculations are very clever, but how exactly do we do this?"

"I said, we're just catching a few fat sheep."

Hu Ma said, "Frankly, I know this kind of thing too. We can get closer to them, but we don't have the ability to get too deeply involved."

"We just discovered that some treasure hunters are harming people, and we're righting a wrong by eliminating them and taking the treasures on their bodies. What does anything else have to do with us?"

"Besides, the Five Vicious Gods came for that influential figure in Old Yin Mountain. They won't have time to bother with us."

"Of course, if the Five Vicious Gods really run into trouble and suffer losses, and we have the opportunity to do something, then..."

He paused, then chuckled softly, saying, "When a whale falls, all things thrive. Since he's been in the court for so many years, I don't know how much we can earn by cleaning him up, but everyone here must understand."

Miss White Wine thoughtfully said, "If that's the case, then..."

"Wait..."

Erguotou finally couldn't bear it anymore. He really couldn't let Hu Ma continue, or he would be tempted.

But he held back, held back. A person can't only look at the benefits. He forced himself to interrupt Hu Ma with his last bit of reason, interrupting their discussion, saying, "There's still a problem."

"No matter how beautifully you put it, we can't ignore this. We're helping that mysterious influential figure, but what if he doesn't appreciate it? If this influential figure discovers our identities, do you think we'll get a good outcome?"

"..."

Everyone fell silent, even Sweet Potato Wine didn't interject.

This was the biggest problem facing reincarnators. Reincarnators have no friends in this world.

Whether it's that influential figure or the Five Vicious Gods, once they become suspicious, they could immediately become the reincarnators' enemies.

No matter how much other analysis is done, if this problem isn't solved, it's all just a joke.

But Hu Ma had been waiting to answer this question for a long time.

"That influential figure won't find out..."

Hu Ma slowly opened his mouth and said to them, "Because reincarnators won't be the ones taking action."

Everyone was stunned, then heard him say, "What that mysterious influential figure needs isn't the help of reincarnators, what he needs is the help of all of Ming Prefecture."

"Now, the Five Vicious Gods have sent their subordinates to create misfortune and harm the people, so that after the Blue Robe incident, Ming Prefecture is now welcoming the gathering of the Five Vicious Gods. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with reincarnators."

"It's just that the people in the know in Ming Prefecture can't sit still."

"The Red Lantern Society, the Grass Heart Hall, and the ghost watchers and night guards everywhere, even the wealthy ladies of the rice shops..."

"...It's these people who can't sit idly by, so they're eliminating the claws of the Five Vicious Gods and restoring peace to Ming Prefecture!"

"..."

After saying all that in one breath, Hu Ma smiled and said, "So, what does this have to do with reincarnators?"

"Ah, this..."

Hu Ma's words immediately stunned Erguotou.

As the opponent of this meeting, he should have offered a different opinion at this time, but he opened his mouth, unable to say anything. After a long, long time, he lightly sighed: "Good kid..."

"You've set up a good plan!"

"..."

Hu Ma also chuckled and said, "It's just that simple."

The trip to An Prefecture to study was still useful.

Reincarnators don't dare to act, so let the various Jianghu forces in Ming Prefecture, or even the entire Ming Prefecture, act instead?

Miss Red Wine's unique skill: blowing things up.

For reincarnators, hiding is certainly good, but it only allows for small-scale actions, catching small shrimp to eat. If you really want to reap big benefits, you have to make a big splash and fish in troubled waters.

"I always feel like his current style of doing things looks a bit familiar..."

Miss White Wine thought silently. She seemed to somewhat agree with this idea, but wasn't in a hurry to speak, pondering the feasibility of this matter.

Only Sweet Potato Wine muttered softly, "Can I participate as the Sect Leader of the Jia Guan Sect? Don't use the identity of the rice shop madam, otherwise it won't sound impressive in the Jianghu in the future!"

Hu Ma patiently waited for a moment and smiled: "So, what are everyone's opinions?"

Sweet Potato Wine loudly said, "I'm joining!"

Hu Ma directly ignored him, only quietly waiting for the voices of the other two old birds to sound.

"Wait, let's discuss it first..."

Erguotou's voice rang out after a while, then he said, "Miss White Wine, let's talk for a bit?"

Miss White Wine agreed, and the two of them temporarily left.

"Senior, you're amazing, wanting to eliminate the Five Vicious Gods right away. I admire you, can I go to your side?"

Sweet Potato Wine rambled on there, but Hu Ma didn't have time to chat with her.

He had used a lot of brainpower to drag these people into the water... no, to let everyone follow him to reap the benefits together. Now he could only see if this matter would go smoothly.

If it went smoothly, not to mention the Five Vicious Gods, it would be much easier to enter the prefecture, cross the bridge, and take over the entire Hu family's property in the future. But if this matter didn't go smoothly, there would be a lot of trouble.

Moreover, he had tried hard to fabricate it, but it was another matter whether they believed it or not...

While he was considering this, he suddenly saw Sweet Potato Wine exclaim in surprise and also leave, seemingly talking to someone.

Erguotou came in again, asked him a few questions. Hu Ma, who had already thought it through, answered. Erguotou disconnected, Miss White Wine also came over, asked a few questions, then disconnected. After waiting for a long time, Sweet Potato Wine and Erguotou came up together again...

Hu Ma was fully prepared, letting them ask whatever they wanted, answering everything he knew.

But he also felt a little helpless. In the An Prefecture reincarnator organization, Miss Red Wine only had to say a word, and everyone was on board.

But here in Ming Prefecture...

...With a total of four people, they needed to create eight group chats?

But after all his efforts, they finally connected with him one after another after a long period of entanglement.

Then, they softly replied, "Okay!"
