Chapter 81: First-mover advantage

"Sure enough, it's a trap. Dong Sheng said in his heart.

Seeing Fan Canghai and Huzi appear, Dong Sheng thought that they had fallen into each other's trap. They don't know that it's all just a coincidence.

However, the two quickly calmed down. They noticed that if the two of them joined forces, with Fan Canghai's cultivation, they would definitely not be two opponents. And Huzi's cultivation is not to be worried.

In this case, even if the two of them can't take Fan Canghai, if they want to escape, it will not be a problem.

Dong Sheng and Dong Jie glanced at each other and were relieved.

"Are you Fan Canghai?" Dong Sheng asked first.

"Yes, it's the old man. Now that you know the name of the old man, you must have come here for a purpose. What do you call it?" Fan Canghai did not deny it, and admitted it calmly.

"Hehe, there is no need to tell you who the two of us are. Dong Shengyin said with a smile.

The old man was not surprised by your answer. Fan Canghai laughed loudly, "Two young people, you don't dare to report your name." Even your kind of rooster and dog thief behavior can never come from any famous and decent family. ”

Fan Canghai also noticed that the cultivation of the two people on the opposite side was not weak. If it's one-on-one, you might have a two-point chance of winning. However, if the other two join forces, they will definitely not be their opponents.

If there is a war, the strategy that the other side is very likely to adopt is that one person will first hold him back, the other will deal with Huzi, and then the two will deal with him together.

In this case, he and Huzi don't say that they will stay with each other, and self-protection will be a problem.

The reason why he laughed loudly was also to wake up Li Jingwei. If Li Jingwei comes over, the three of them will work together, and they will definitely be able to leave the other two behind.

What Fan Canghai didn't know was that Li Jingwei had already woken up.

When cultivation reaches a certain level, it is often extremely sensitive to the danger that is about to occur. In particular, when a martial arts master appears, he will instinctively react.

Therefore, when Dong Changfeng and others approached the vicinity of the Holiday Inn, Li Jingwei had already sensed it. Subsequently, when he used the ancient Tai Chi exercises to perceive the surrounding environment, he found that there were five people on the other side, and one of them had a high level of cultivation, which made Li Jingwei quite jealous.

This person who makes Li Jingwei jealous is Dong Changfeng. As an elder of the Dong family of the Hidden Sect, Dong Changfeng's cultivation is very high, and he is by no means an easy person.

Then, he noticed that two people went straight to Wei Rulan's room. Immediately realized that this might be an operation against Wei Rulan.

It seems that Old Man Fan's previous estimate was insufficient, and before he was lured into the game, the other party took the initiative to appear.

Moreover, judging from the strength of the other party, it is indeed necessary to invite Tong Sihai and others to come over. However, it is too late to find any helpers, so you can only rely on the strength of three people to deal with it.

Li Jingwei gently woke up Wei Rulan.

"Jingwei, what's wrong? Get up so early. Wei Rulan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Li Jingwei and asked a little puzzled.

It turned out that when Wei Rulan cleaned up Li Jingwei's room last night, she secretly took away a room card. After Fan Canghai and Huzi returned to their rooms to rest, she quietly entered Li Jingwei's room again.

Wei Rulan is a girl who dares to love and hate, she recognized Li Jingwei as the love of her life, so she gave everything she had without reservation.

Before, Li Jingwei said to her in the car, 'I have a girlfriend', which prompted her to act crazy. Afterwards, when she recalled it, she was also red with shame. She doesn't regret it, though.

"There is danger. It looks like they're coming at you. Now I'm going to go over and help Old Man Fan and Huzi, you hurry up and get dressed, hide in the cupboard, and don't come out. Li Jingwei whispered in her ear.

"Do you want to call the police?" When Wei Rulan heard this, she was a little worried about the safety of Li Jingwei, Fan Canghai and Huzi, so she thought of calling the police.

"Don't call the police just yet. These people are not ordinary people, and if they are urgent, they may hurt the innocent. Li Jingwei groaned.

When Li Jingwei and his grandfather traveled together, they knew that the disputes between the people in the rivers and lakes needed to be resolved in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes. He didn't know why these people came to Wei Rulan, whether it was out of grudges, and if so, obviously he couldn't call the police.

If these people are kidnappers who want to kill for money, there is naturally no problem in calling the police.

At this time, it is inconvenient for him to ask in detail, and the other party may not be the opponent of the three of them, at least there is no problem with self-protection. Therefore, he planned not to call the police for the first time.

Li Jingwei stroked Wei Rulan's face, signaled her not to worry, and then turned outside through the window.

When Dong Sheng saw Fan Canghai's reaction, he seemed to have guessed the other party's intentions, and said, "Old man Fan, is it possible that you still have a helper?"

"Haha.... You guessed right, the old man does have a helper. Fan Canghai smiled, and at the same time showed a rather confident expression.

Fan Canghai's answer, as well as his reaction, made Dong Sheng and the others a little confused. If there is a master to help, then why hasn't it appeared? Could it be that he knows about Dong Changfeng and the others who are in ambush outside. Or is this old man Fan just singing about the empty city plan at all? He found out that it was not his opponent, so he made a trick here.

Seeing that Dong Sheng and the two were a little hesitant, Fan Canghai continued: "Hehe, don't be suspicious, the old man told you that if you have a helper, you must have a helper." Tell me, what are you here for?"

What Fan Canghai was eager to know now was who was behind all this, so he wanted to get as much information as possible from the two of them.

"Hehe, Old Man Fan, you haven't forgotten the matter of Tianshan, have you?" Dong Sheng said predictively.

He deliberately said this vaguely, and he also wanted to test Fan Canghai to see if he would show his feet and tell Dong Kui's whereabouts.

Fan Canghai has so much experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is sure that it is impossible for outsiders to know about the matter of him and Feng Sidao working together to get rid of Dong Kui. Therefore, Dong Sheng's questioning not only could not paralyze him, but aroused his suspicion.

Fan Canghai faintly felt that these two people were coming for him, and it was likely to be related to Dong Kui's death.

"What? You are also the ones involved in the kidnapping of my granddaughter?" Fan Canghai deliberately lowered his face and asked sharply.

Hearing Fan Canghai's question, Dong Sheng glanced at Dong Jie again. Both of them felt that judging from Old Man Fan's reaction, they didn't seem to know about Dong Kui. They even had some suspicions that the action planned by Dong Changfeng this time might not be meaningful, and in the end it would only be a waste of water.

Moreover, Dong Sheng has always felt that maybe Dong Kui, this kid, found the secret book of martial arts in the Tianshan Mountains, and hid and practiced at this time. In the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, the Tianshan Mountains are a place full of mysteries, and anything can happen.

"Old man Fan, kidnapping your granddaughter is something that our Dong family doesn't bother to do. So, you don't have to scream here. Dong Sheng shouted. He has always been proud of the hidden Dong family and looks down on people in the world. At this time, when he heard Fan Canghai say that they were kidnappers, he was naturally quite angry.

Hearing Dong Sheng say the word 'Dong family', Dong Jie's brows furrowed obviously. In this operation, Dong Changfeng repeatedly emphasized that the identity of the Dong family of the hidden door cannot be revealed.

Don't try to stop it, it's obviously too late. I can't say it, and I can only kill people.

Compared with Dong Sheng, Dong Jie's city government is deeper, and his actions are more old-fashioned.

"Dong family?" Fan Canghai deliberately showed a puzzled expression when he heard this. Then, he asked, "The Wei family has never sinned against the Dong family, so why did you kidnap my granddaughter Wei Rulan in Wushi?"

Fan Canghai was already convinced that the other party was here for Dong Kui's affairs. However, now that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, he must deal with it carefully, and he must not let the other party suspect that he has something to do with Dong Kui's affairs.

Therefore, he continued to deliberately ask the other party why he kidnapped Wei Rulan.

"Old man Fan, don't talk nonsense, if you know each other, just come with us. Dong Sheng said a little impatiently, "It's okay to tell you, we came today to ask you about something." ”

"If you have to resist, we don't mind making you suffer. Even if you find help, it may not be of much use. Let's be honest, we've got three more people waiting outside. "

Dong Sheng's words surprised Fan Canghai very much. If these two people are just taking the lead, then the three people waiting outside are probably even higher in cultivation. If you really want to fight hard with the other party, even if Li Jingwei is added, I am afraid that the risk of failure will be very high.

At the same time, Dong Sheng's words also reassured Fan Canghai a lot. Because the other party did not come to Wei Rulan, but to investigate Dong Kui's affairs, as long as he didn't admit it, the other party couldn't find any flaws at all.

Thinking of this, Fan Canghai decided to follow the two of them and see the situation.

"Good. In that case, the old man will go with you. Fan Canghai said, glanced at Huzi, and motioned for him to stay here.

When Dong Sheng heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart. In this action, although he did not catch Wei Rulan, he successfully persuaded Fan Canghai to go with him to see Dong Changfeng, which can be said to be the same goal, and finally achieved the purpose of this trip.

He inserted the long knife back into the scabbard on his back, and planned to return the same way from the window with Dong Jie.

At this moment, the two of them intuitively flashed in front of them, and at the same time they snorted and fell to the ground.

The original way, Li Jingwei was already guarding outside the window. Because he restrained his breath, none of the four people in the room noticed him.

Li Jingwei already knew Fan Canghai's thoughts, so he decided to go with him to meet the other three.

However, out of prudence, he still made a sudden move, suppressed the skills of the two, and knocked the two unconscious.

In this way, even if you can't get along with the three people outside, you can have two fewer opponents when you fight.

Fan Canghai was also very surprised when he saw that Li Jingwei actually succeeded in one blow, and at the same time sighed that Li Jingwei's cultivation was making rapid progress. He could feel that Li Jingwei's cultivation had made great progress compared to when he saw it in the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains.

It seems that his previous feeling was wrong, this Li Jingwei's cultivation has not only not declined, but has become more profound, so that he can no longer accurately perceive his cultivation. Fan Canghai sighed in his heart.

When I saw Li Jingwei a few days ago, because Li Jingwei's cultivation realm had improved, he was more glorious and introverted, so much so that Fan Canghai thought that his cultivation had declined. Now it seems that Fan Canghai's own judgment was wrong. This also shows that the gap between the two is even greater.

"Old man, this person is right, there are indeed three people guarding outside, I'll go with you to take a look. Li Jingwei said to Fan Canghai.

"What about these two people?" asked Fan Canghai.

"These two people just fainted, and I temporarily suppressed the strength of the two of them. The skills of the three people outside are higher than these two, so now suppress the skills of these two people, and if we can't talk about it, we can also have two fewer opponents. Li Jingwei explained.

Fan Canghai thought about it and felt that it was very right. Although there are some eyebrows about the origin and purpose of these people, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no conflict when they meet. In this case, you must strike first to put yourself in a better position.

It's all about getting a first-mover advantage.

When facing the enemy, it is like playing chess, and you must take one step at a time to see three steps, step by step, in order to ensure that you are invincible. Especially in the face of a strong enemy, there is no absolute strength to crush the advantage, so we must pay more attention to strategy.
