One Hundred and Forty-Eight Acts [Sword Trial] (II)
Regarding Yun Fan's reaction, Han Mei was not surprised.
Or rather, everything was as she expected.
After reading the letter provided by Han Mei, Yun Fan fell into silence for a long time. This letter mentions in great detail the entire process of the fall of Yaoguang City on the night of November 7, as well as the relevant movements of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom in the future.
Yun Fan looked at Han Mei very suspiciously, and asked, "Where did you get this letter, and is the content of the letter true or false?"
"I can't tell you where I got this letter. Between the words, Han Mei avoided Yun Fan's gaze and turned to the frost swords who were fighting with each other, "As for the content of this letter, whether it is true or not, I think the young master will find out by himself." ”
Yun Fan asked, "Why did you give me this letter?"
Han Mei said lightly: "Now, the survival of the kingdom is tied to your shoulders. If the information provided in this letter is true, I believe that the young master will avoid some unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible. ”
Between the words, Yun Fan followed Han Mei's gaze and looked at the frost swords who were studying the combat skills he had taught. Regarding the letter provided by Han Mei, as well as the information revealed in this letter, as well as the reason that Han Mei gave himself, Yun Fan could not fully trust it.
This may be due to his instinctive reaction after constantly experiencing trust and betrayal in the past few years in the Northern Desert. In fact, Yun Fan had already received the battle report about Yaoguang City as early as the evening of November 8. Although the above information is not as detailed as that provided in this letter, it is generally the same.
This letter of "unknown origin" brought Yun Fan the internal situation and situation of Yaoguang City at the moment, as well as the strategic deployment of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the relevant arrangements of the Mo Kingdom in Liuyun City. It may be because this information is too detailed, so Yun Fan doubts the authenticity of this letter.
He feared it would be a trap.
But, then again.
What if this is not a trap?
Well, this will be an opportunity.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
can let Yun Fan take advantage of the situation to recapture Liuyun City.
It can make Yunfan one step ahead and carry out the next strategic deployment. Thinking of this, Yun Fan was worried about whether the person who wrote this letter would be waiting for him to make the next strategic deployment and designate the corresponding countermeasures according to his strategic deployment. So, the problem is back to the beginning.
Where did this letter come from?
How did Han Mei get this letter?
Does Yun Ji know that she is still alive?
Does Yun Ji know about this letter?
After thinking about it, Yun Fan thought that Han Mei must have hidden something. However, in view of Yun Fan's questions just now, Han Mei consciously avoided them, so Yun Fan no longer planned to continue to inquire about these key questions from Han Mei, but planned to go back and study it with Gu Yina later.
After a moment of silence, Yun Fan asked Han Mei, "Do you still want this letter?" A lot of the important information mentioned in the letter is too detailed, so I wanted to take it back and study it properly. ”
"You can study this letter yourself, don't let too many people know. I don't want to get caught up in the way. Han Mei reminded, but inadvertently let Yun Fan notice that Han Mei was actually consciously protecting the relevant information of the person who provided her with the letter.
Yun Fan nodded, and then said, "So, is there anything else that needs to be explained?"
After hearing this, Han Mei sneered: "There is nothing else to explain, I still have something to do later, and now it's almost time to leave when I look at the sky." If you want to reminisce about the past, wait for the day of the young master's triumph. ”
Yun Fan sighed: "I knew that if you came to me, there must be something important, not really looking for me to greet the past." Woman!"
Han Mei smiled and said, "The young master wants to say that I am unkind, right?"
"Not really, it's just that I'd love to see what kind of scene it will be like when you come to me one day not for business. After all, I haven't seen you smile genuinely since I was a child. Speaking of this, Yun Fan's tone suddenly became serious, and he stared straight into Han Mei's eyes, as if observing what she was thinking.
Listening to the young master's words, he seemed to understand Han Mei very well. Han Mei avoided Yun Fan's gaze and said lightly, "However, we are not the same kind of people, are we." ”
"Is that so?" Yun Fan smiled, "Aren't we all orphans who grew up in clan families?"
Han Mei was silent for a moment, then turned to leave.
Before leaving, Han Mei dropped a sentence to Yun Fan.
"Maybe you are, but I'm not. ”
Looking at Han Mei's distant back, Yun Fan fell into the longest contemplation. During this period, Meng Jian left the rest platform, boarded the sword test field, and prepared to learn from the Frost Sword Jing Feng who had been instructed by Yun Fan according to the fighting skills taught by Yun Fan before.
But I saw Jing Feng at this time, holding a spear in his hand and fighting with a frost sword who was casting "Frost Cut". In the process, he used the few moves that Yun Fan had instructed earlier to easily avoid the edge of "Frost Cut", and then turned to knock the silver sword in the hand of the frost sword away.
After seeing this scene, the onlookers burst into applause. And Meng Jian also slowly boarded the sword test field at this time, and just rubbed shoulders with the frost sword that was defeated by Jing Feng. In the process, Meng Jian heard the frost sword sigh and said, "If this sword is the one we usually use, then we will definitely not lose just now." ”
Meng Jian listened, and then weighed the weight of the silver sword in his hand. In closer comparison, it was indeed a little heavier than the swords they usually used. After thinking about it, Meng Jian turned his gaze to Jing Feng, who was explaining and guiding everyone in the sword trial field.
"The important thing is not what weapon to use, the important thing is the skill, the reaction, and the attitude!" Jing Feng turned the spear in his hand and said to everyone. Between the words, his gaze suddenly fell on Meng Jian's body, and then Meng Jian suddenly responded: "Well said!"
As a result, everyone around turned their eyes to him because of Meng Jian's sudden sound, which made Meng Jian feel a little uncomfortable, so he turned to look at the frost swords around him suspiciously: "What, did I say something wrong?"
After many people found out that it was Meng Jian who spoke, they immediately started talking. And some "gossip" around Meng Jian also spread among the crowd during this period.
"He is that distant relative of the Great Commander of Lian Mu, it seems that his name is Meng Jian! Just a few days after joining our Frost Sword, he had the right to enter and leave the Military Aircraft Pavilion at will!"
"Yes, I also saw our Deputy Commander Xia and Deputy Commander Han personally teach him how to perform Frost Cut!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy doesn't seem to have gone through the normal process and joined our Frost Sword without training, right?"
"Be quiet, don't let him hear!"
"People have a way, we can't envy it!"
"Alas, I also want to be taught "Frost Cut" by Deputy Commander Xia personally, even if she whips me with a stick the whole time, I am willing!"
"I heard that this kid seems to belong to the northern part of the city now. ”
"So, he's the one who is now the deputy commander of Mo?"
"The northern part of the city has always been mysterious, how do you know so much?"
"When I was patrolling the streets a few days ago, I saw this Meng Jian coming out of the northern part of the city, and I paid special attention to it later, so I concluded that this guy should have joined the northern part of the city. ”
"Awesome, this kid has a story!"
"I think there is not only a story, but also a background!"
"Quiet, give me all quiet!"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Jing Feng shouted.
He tried to drown out the noise with his loud voice.
At this time, Meng Jian stood in front of Jing Feng under the attention of everyone, and said lightly with Jing Feng: "Under Meng Jian, I very much agree with what you said just now, brother, so I came here to ask for advice, I don't know if my brother can appreciate his face?"
After hearing this, these frost swords around them exploded in an instant.
Meng Jian's words first made Jing Feng stunned for a moment. Before Jing Feng could speak, several frost swords who had a good relationship with Jing Feng on weekdays walked out of the crowd at this time, and said slowly to Meng Jian: "Jing Feng is busy now, I need to give you some advice." If Brother Meng wants to find someone to talk to, why don't you go through a few tricks with us first?"
"What, do I need to queue up to learn from Brother Jing?"
Meng Jian looked at the three people in front of him puzzled, but he heard the leader and Meng Jian say arrogantly: "Others naturally don't use it, but if it's Brother Meng, we think you can go directly to Deputy Commander Xia, or Deputy Commander Han and Deputy Commander Mo to practice." ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding frost swords once again revolved around Meng Jian. Meng Jian was stunned for a moment, but turned to look at the expressions of these frost swords around him, and then realized that he didn't seem to be welcome here.
It stands to reason that with the bond between Meng Jian and Lian Mu, the Grand Commander of the Three Divisions of the Frost Sword, as well as his relationship with Xia Hui, Han Ji, and Mo Yan, these Frost Swords should not speak to Meng Jian in this tone. But the person who asked Meng Jian questions right now happened to be from the clan. And during this time, Meng Jian "occupied" Han Jian and Xia Hui to teach him "frost cutting" alone, and did not let them watch this matter.
is also a child of the clan, and the person who asked Meng Jian would naturally not complain to Xia Hui and Han Ji. After all, Xia Hui and Han Wei were born in the four great families of the country, and they were higher than that person in terms of position. In addition, Lian Mu has always been moody in the eyes of the frost sword, and Mo Yan is too mysterious.
So, this move by Meng Jian. In the eyes of some people, it seems to be "showing off skills", or "provoking" the frost sword from this group of clan disciples represented by Jing Feng.
In the noisy discussion, Meng Jian fell silent.
Seeing this, Jing Feng on the side immediately came up to relieve Meng Jian and said, "Xu Rui, it's almost done." After that, we went to the battlefield, we are all comrades-in-arms, don't do things badly. ”
Xu Rui sneered and walked slowly around Meng Jian: "Jing Feng, what you said makes me feel a little uncomfortable, what do you mean for me to do things absolutely? I just reminded Brother Meng of friendship! By the way, will Brother Meng go to the battlefield with us at that time?"
"If I didn't have this plan, why would I be here?" said Meng Jian calmly, clenching the silver sword in his hand between words. Xu Rui listened to it and smiled: "It's hard to talk about this, maybe Brother Meng has other plans, maybe he can't say." ”
"Other plans?" Meng Jian looked at the man in front of him puzzled, he didn't know what this person was hinting at, so he asked directly, "What other plans?"
Between the words, Xu Rui "borrowed" the silver spear from Jing Feng's hand, Jing Feng originally wanted to resist, but Xu Rui turned to Jing Feng's ear and whispered: "I'll just teach him a little lesson, I won't embarrass things too much." Don't worry, I'm in control. ”
Jing Feng pondered and didn't say a word, Xu Rui saw that he didn't react, so he directly snatched the spear from his hand. At this time, Jing Feng asked Xu Rui, "Why don't you use your own weapons, you have to use mine?"
Xu Rui didn't turn around, but said with a grin: "I like to use the things you have used, it is more convenient to use them that way." Can't you?"
Between the words, Meng Jian frowned, not knowing what the person in front of him wanted to do. But Meng Jian felt a strong hostility from this person's demeanor.
In the afterglow, Han Mei had already said goodbye to Yun Fan and left.
The crowd of onlookers also ushered in a heckling after Xu Rui snatched Jing Feng's spear. Yun Fan, who was a little distracted, was attracted by the excitement of the trial sword arena during this period, so he hurriedly ran over to see what they were doing.
saw Xu Rui holding a gun, pointing directly at Meng Jian's eyebrows.
"Brother Meng, how many moves have you made?"
"I just want to try my hand with Brother Jing. ”
Meng Jian said calmly, which caused some people to ridicule.
After hearing this, Xu Rui sighed: "It turns out that Brother Meng looks down on me Xu Rui. It's a sad story. ”
Meng Jian turned the silver sword in his hand and defended himself: "I think you misinterpreted what I meant, I just wanted to see if I could crack the tricks that Deputy Commander Yun taught Brother Jing before." ”
As soon as these words came out, they once again aroused everyone's criticism.
Xu Rui sneered and walked slowly around Meng Jian with a spear, "I'm afraid, this Brother Jing in your mouth can't try it with you now." ”
Meng Jian's afterglow glanced at Jing Feng, who turned around and retreated from the sword testing field, and then asked Xu Rui in front of him puzzledly: "What is the relationship between you and Brother Jing, why are you so determined?"
Xu Rui smiled and slowly approached Meng Jiandao, "It's very simple, because the spear in his hand is now in my hand!"
As soon as these words came out, the spear in Xu Rui's hand immediately turned into a swimming dragon and pressed directly at Meng Jian's eyebrows. Meng Jian was startled and hurriedly retreated to dodge, but accidentally fell to the ground. Seeing this, everyone in the audience either booed Meng Jian with disdain, or cheered for Xu Rui.
During this period, Yun Fan blended into the crowd without a sound.
Looking at this scene in front of him, he didn't intend to stop it.
Before Meng Jian could get up, the sharp tip of the spear hit the ground again and again.
Meng Jian rolled and dodged again and again, not daring to slack off.
This also made Xu Rui immediately ignite the idea of forcing Meng Jian into a desperate situation and forcing this "related household" to step down. In the next dozen moves, Meng Jian has been dodging Xu Rui's offensive, and because of his pursuit, he has no time to fight back.
The entire sword trial field was full of dust stirred up by Meng Jian's rolling. Gradually, the onlookers couldn't see exactly what was happening on the field. And Xu Rui also lost the trace of Meng Jian with this stirring dust.
This scene surprised Yun Fan a little. Being able to maintain calm despite embarrassment in such a crisis situation, and then turn the original disadvantage into a situation favorable to himself, Yun Fan believes that this Meng Jian is not as simple as he imagined.
In fact, Yun Fan's idea was just his over-interpretation. If Meng Jian hadn't been forced to raise his head by Xu Rui's series of offensives, where would he "roll all over the ground" and stir up a cloud of dust.
At this time, I heard a loud cry coming from the dust.
With the collision of two weapons made of silver and gold, Meng Jian launched a surprise attack on Xu Rui from behind. In the process, True Qi flowed from Meng Jian's heart to his arms, and finally converged on his fingertips. He tried to run the "Frost Technique", and although he failed in the end, he also unexpectedly made the silver sword in his hand even heavier.
A faint chill converged on the silver sword. Xu Rui, who was originally arrogant, took eight steps back under this sword, and then reined in the arrogance between his eyebrows, and turned seriously to the "relational household" in front of him who was somewhat underestimated by him.
In Xu Rui's view, the previous Meng Jian can only be described as "talented and dull". Under the personal guidance of Xia Hui and Han Wei, the two deputy commanders of the Frost Sword, he couldn't even use a complete "Frost Cut" until now, which really made him feel a little embarrassed by the Frost Sword. However, everything gradually began to change with Meng Jian's sword just now.
When the sparks burst out, Xu Rui speared like a dragon, trying to regain his advantage again. Meng Jian turned the silver sword in his hand and tried to cast the "Frost Cut", but finally hesitated. In an instant, he remembered the words that Frost Sword had just passed by him, and what he had complained.
"Frost Cut" uses "fast" as a kill, but with the weight of the silver sword in his hand now, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the speed that Meng Jian expects. This also means that if Meng Jian uses "Frost Cut" in this battle, it is easy to expose the flaws due to his lack of speed, and then let the person in front of him who is trying to put himself to death have a chance.
At the critical moment, Meng Jian remembered the tricks that Yun Fan had taught everyone just now, so he learned the same way, and instead integrated the combat skills taught by Yun Fan into the "change of moves" of "Frost Cut".
In the end, what Meng Jian showed to everyone was still "frost cut", but it was different from the common "frost cut" that everyone saw. And Meng Jian's "change" directly caught Xu Rui off guard.
Yun Fan, who was watching, became more and more interested in Meng Jian after witnessing this detail. What he didn't expect was that in the next short confrontation, Meng Jian actually comprehended the perfect killing of almost the "Cloud Dragon Seven Verticals" through the combat skills taught by Yun Fan!
In fact, among the combat skills that Yun Fan passed on to these frost swords, there was indeed the shadow of the "Cloud Dragon Seven Verticals". And this "Cloud Dragon Seven Verticals" was jointly created by Yun Fan's biological father Asaranti and his mother Yun Han, and then brought back by Yun Jin, who went to the Northern Desert to find Yun Han, and passed it on to Yun Chen.
Han Bin, the head of the Han family, had an epiphany after seeing the "Seven Verticals of the Cloud Dragon", and immediately perfected the "Frost Cut" with some moves in the "Seven Verticals of the Cloud Dragon". In other words, the real "Frost Cut" is actually inextricably linked to the "Cloud Dragon Seven Verticals".
During his contemplation, Meng Jian jumped up and faced Xu Rui's offensive with "Frost Cut". The final coherent blow made Xu Rui, who had not yet fully comprehended the skills taught by Yun Fan before, quickly confused, not knowing how to deal with this sudden reversal of the situation, and actually began to swing the spear in his hand as a sword.
This scene made Meng Jian smell the opportunity.
