Gu Changhuai was slightly stunned and said with an indifferent expression:

"Aren't you afraid that people like the Xiao family may openly seek refuge with the Xia family, but secretly still communicate with Guishuimen, ruining this plan?"

Xia Diansi shook his head and said calmly: "It's not up to me to make the decision. My uncle knows it well."

"Uncle?" Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, "Are you talking about... Inspector Xia?"

"Yes," Xia Diansi nodded, "This time when the Xia family comes to Qianxue Prefecture, my uncle will be fully responsible for all matters."

Gu Changhuai kept silent.

When it comes to the supervision of the Taoist court, he, as a supervisor, can only remain silent.

Gu Changhuai turned his head, no longer looking at Xia Diansi, but turned his gaze to the dark river water, frowning slightly, wondering what he was thinking about.

Xia Diansi no longer looked after Changhuai.

She looked calm and looked forward with firm eyes.

The two of them seemed to have a bad temper, and no one looked at the other.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, but at the same time, he was also thinking silently in his heart.

Inspector Xia...who is this person?

Monitor...

It seems that his status should be higher than that of Noriji, and he can suppress Uncle Gu. His cultivation level is at least as high as that of an elite, and it seems that he has great authority.

"Inspector Xia got a tip from the Xiao family, so he took advantage of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley incident and used the excuse that the academic style in Qianxue Prefecture was not prosperous to reach into the Daoting Division in Qianxue Prefecture..."

The first step is to check Guishui Gate.

But, what is the purpose of checking Guishui Gate?

In order to be loyal to the Taoist court and maintain the Taoist law?

Mo Hua shook his head.

Moreover, what happens after checking Guishui Gate?

What else will the Xia family, or this "Supervisor Xia" do?

Mo Hua frowned, feeling that the situation was getting more and more chaotic.

Everyone wants to lend a hand, and the border between Qianxue and Xuzhou is almost turning into a pot of porridge.

"Think about it later..."

The most urgent task is to catch the water Yama.

Originally, Mo Hua was quite confident, but now that the Xiao family had sneaked in, he felt a little uneasy.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Also, does Supervisor Xia really believe in the Xiao family so much? Suppressing water bandits and catching water demons, do you let the Xiao family have a hand in such an important matter?

Mo Hua was a little disbelieving.

He couldn't figure it out. At this moment, he remembered what Mr. Xun had taught him before:

"You can't just think about things from your own perspective, otherwise you will inevitably be short-sighted, have narrow cognition, and get into trouble without realizing it."

"You must learn to stand on a high place and look down from above."

"Put yourself in their shoes, think of yourself as an 'ancestor', and think about how they view the problem..."

"Think of yourself as an ancestor..."

Even if Supervisor Xia is not an ancestor, he still occupies a high position. He naturally looks at problems from top to bottom.

Mo Hua put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment.

Water Yama is important to you.

But for a monk at Supervisor Xia's level, he probably doesn't take him seriously either.

Shui Yanluo is just one of his pawns.

Even the Xiao family and Guishuimen are his pawns.

This time he drove the tiger to devour the wolf and let the Xiao family eat the chess piece of Shuiyanluo. This was not only to use it to seize Guishuimen, but also to...

Test the Xiao family?

If the Xiao family was honest and killed the water bandits and captured Shui Yanluo, it would mean that the Xiao family was sincere in surrendering.

If the Xiao family is causing trouble behind the scenes, it means that the Xiao family has second thoughts.

If the Xiao family really has second thoughts and goes against the rules, then after Supervisor Xia cleans up the Guishui Gate, he may backfire and take care of the Xiao family too...

Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and then kill both the tiger and the wolf.

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the more it made sense, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

"These people have so many evil eyes and dirty hearts..."

…

In the night, the river was dim, but the fleet was still moving forward.

Mo Hua was sitting on the bow of the boat, pointing in the direction.

There is a silver ray of light on the bow of the boat, swimming freely in the water. It is the little whitebait.

It is happily leading the way for ink painting.

It's just that others can't see it.

After crossing the wide river area and arriving at the natural swamp "maze", the water channel gradually narrowed and silt accumulated, making it difficult for ships to move.

Secretary Xia Dian then ordered that all the ships should be connected to each other, like a long snake, moving forward in the "maze", so that they would not get lost or fall into the quagmire.

I don't know how long it took before everyone arrived in front of the island.

Mo Hua raised his eyes and saw that the moon was cool, the wind was high, and the night was dark. The island was still as it was that day, quietly dormant in the Yanshui River, like a dormant ferocious beast.

Xia Diansi waved his hand and said, "Hidden."

All the spirit boats trembled, a slight buzzing sound sounded, and a layer of light curtain rose, covering the hull lightly, hiding the ship.

Mo Hua was shocked when he saw this.

Hidden spirit boat!

These more than thirty ships are all spiritual boats with concealment effect!

Hidden spiritual weapons have always been expensive to build, let alone a spiritual boat of this size.

The Xia family is indeed very wealthy.

Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.

After all the ships were hidden, they hid in the water plants on the outside of the island.

Xia Diansi summoned some leading executives and informed them of a more detailed encirclement and suppression plan:

"This is the formation map of the island, it is..."

Xia Diansi glanced at the ink painting and said silently, "...it was a brilliant formation master who personally surveyed and designed it..."

"On the formation map, there is a formation pattern on the island, and the positions of the Eight Trigrams are marked..."

"At about Hai hour, we will take action. At this time, the water bandits will go out to plunder, and the village gate will be wide open. We will intercept them halfway when they are leaving, kill a group first, then break open the gate and rush in."

"The key is to rush in."

"The gate through which the water bandits leave the stronghold is Kanmen. If the plan goes well, then the time when we rush into Kanmen is Zishi."

"After midnight, when we rush into the island, the water bandits will definitely activate the formation. From then on, the eight gates in the formation will rotate about every half an hour."

"Here is the flow of the eight gates. Remember all the people you lead."

"You don't need to worry about the other doors. You just need to block the Dumen, Jingmen and the two flat gates, as well as open the door, close the door, and the Shengmen and the Sanjimen, especially the Shengmen, to prevent the bandits from escaping."

"Of course, relying on manpower to block it will definitely not work."

"On the periphery of the island, in addition to the initial Kanmen, trap formations must be set up at the entrances of the other seven gates to arrest, besiege, or even block these water bandits."

"These formations have also been prepared in advance."

"Gu Diansi and I will be responsible for removing the hidden sentries around the island later. Others must set up these formations before the war begins..."

…

After Xia Diansi finished giving his instructions, all the officers looked solemn, and they all raised their hands and said in a deep voice:

"yes!"

But at the same time, they also had some sighs in their hearts.

Especially Xiao Tianquan, he praised:

"The Xia family is indeed a great family. It has a profound foundation. In a short period of time, it was able to recruit such a skilled formation master and see through the formations on this island."
