One Hundred and Ninety-One Acts [Deliberations] (II)

Yun Fan's memory is very good.

He can remember a lot of people and things, and he remembers them very clearly. Those who have been helped or contacted by him will be very happy and even grateful when they learn that he still remembers them. However, not everyone will show such emotions.

Human nature is complex, and good and evil are like two sides of a gold coin.

When the coin starts to spin, the sudden event will turn into an "invisible hand" to knock the spinning coin down, and whether the upward side is good or evil depends entirely on when the "invisible hand" presses the spinning coin.

The old man named "Mu Chen" was a member of the Mingguang Armor. When Yun Fan knew him, he wasn't what he is now. said that he was an "old man", but in fact, the actual age of this "Mu Chen" was only seven years old.

So, when Mu Chen appeared in the military tent, why was Han Yu able to recognize him at a glance? Because Mu Chen was the "old" appearance when he joined the Mingguang Armor. At the beginning of the establishment of Mingguang Armor, many people with unique skills came from thousands of miles away, including Mu Chen, who was a member of the "Ghost Fire".

In other words, Mu Chen was already an assassin of the "Ghost Fire" before joining the Mingguang Armor. Yun Fan at that time naturally didn't know about it. It stands to reason that with Mu Chen's conditions, he couldn't even meet the minimum requirements for enlisting in Mingguang Armor, so Mu Chen found another way to start with the miscellaneous gang leader, and successfully attracted Yun Fan's attention with his good cooking skills, and finally changed from the miscellaneous gang leader army to Mingguang Armor's gang leader.

At that time, the country of Mexico did not exist, and it was the Xuanguo, the third largest power in Dongji, that was established on the land of Mexico. There was information about the Shu Kingdom, which was also sent to the Xuan Kingdom by Mu Chen "intermittently" at that time. Why do you say "intermittently"? Because Yun Fan was originally a thoughtful person, he had always been on guard against this kind of enemy infiltration from the time when the Mingguang Armor had not yet been established.

As for what arrangements Yun Fan made in advance to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I won't say much about it here, and I will mention it little by little in the future. It was a history about Mingguang Armor and the Shu Kingdom, and this history was inextricably linked to the Qianyu clan.

When Yun Fan found out about Mu Chen's identity, it was not long after he destroyed the Xuan Kingdom. There is information about this notorious killer organization "Ghost Fire", which also fell into the hands of Yun Fan at that time. However, after learning of Mu Chen's identity, Yun Fan did not expose him, and gave him a lot of opportunities openly and secretly, hoping that he could truly join Mingguang Armor.

In addition to cherishing talents, the main reason why Yun Fan did this was that Mu Chen's fried dishes were so delicious. As a result, in the face of Yun Fan's invitation, Mu Chen did not refuse or agree, but just said that he wanted to forget the past, start over, and do what he should do now.

It was Mu Chen's ambiguous answer that made Yun Fan finally go to the Northern Desert without saying goodbye and did not reveal Mu Chen's identity before leaving, which then laid the groundwork for the later split of Mingguang Armor and the several wars between the Mo State and the Shu Kingdom.

After Yun Fan went to the Northern Desert, within a few years, the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" occurred, followed by the "Mingguang Change", and finally the Mingguang Armor was completely disbanded. As the "patriarch" of Mingguang Armor, Mu Chen was arranged by someone to be stuffed into the establishment of the Hanjia Army at that time, and finally over time, he became the general of the Frost Sword in the later war between the Mexican Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom, and assisted Xia Hong to defend Liuyun City.

In other words, this Mu Chen went through three periods of Mingguang Armor, Cold Armor Army, and Frost Sword in the Shu Kingdom, and finally recovered his true identity when Liuyun City fell.

At that time, Mu Chen already had plans to retire.

In fact, for these people gathered in the military tent at this moment, Mu Chen was not an important role, otherwise he would not have been smashed by Yun Fan with a knife.

Han Jian was familiar with Mu Chen, but he couldn't call Mu Chen's name. But Yun Fan is different. Although he had experienced many strange things over the years, he still remembered Mu Chen and many things related to him. Although Yun Fan misses the dishes he cooks very much, when this person appears with the intention of killing him, Yun Fan makes his choice.

Yun Fan's words earlier made Han Yu and Xia Hui feel very surprised. He didn't expect Yun Fan's memory to be so good. Surprised, they also realized the sound of Yun Fan's words.

At first, Xia Hui thought that Yun Fan had learned about the Secret Path from the surviving soldiers who had fallen to Liuyun City. From the conversation with Yun Fan tonight, Xia Hui realized that although Yun Fan knew that there was a secret passage in Liuyun City, he didn't know where the entrance to the secret passage was. Regarding how Yun Fan knew about the secret path, Xia Hui became more and more impatient.

As a result, Yun Fan's words made Xia Hui realize a very serious matter. That is the secret that there is a secret passage in Liuyun City, and now in addition to Yun Fan, maybe the Mo Kingdom also knows it. And this point Xia Hui and Yun Fan can't verify, because Mu Chen, who is very likely to leak secrets, has been killed by Yun Fan with a knife.

In other words, Xia Hui's information was not as valuable as she thought. This reality also put Yun Fan's conversation with her into a very embarrassing situation. After a moment of silence, Yun Fan coughed to break the silence: "Regarding the information about Liuyun City, is there anything else besides the secret passage?"

Xia Hui listened, paused, and then responded: "There is a gap in the north of the city, I don't know if it has been repaired now." I heard that at that time, the Mexican Kingdom bypassed the city gate and attacked the city through that gap. ”

"I heard?" Xin Zaima on the side listened, and looked at the female general in front of him with a solemn expression suspiciously, Yun Fan saw this and explained to Xin Zaima: "When Liuyun City fell, General Xia was in Mingyue City. If I'm not mistaken, she was in charge of transporting supplies in Liuyun City at that time. ”

"In other words, General Xia Hui personally went to Mingyue City to dispatch supplies and then ......," Xin Zaima pondered. Although she didn't finish her sentence, she soon realized that it wasn't that simple, so Sinzaima didn't continue after saying anything halfway through. The fact is that Xia Hong, who was the lord of Liuyun City at that time, had a premonition that Liuyun City was about to fall, so he sent Xia Hui to Mingyue City to "ask for help", and secretly asked Liu Su to leave Xia Hui behind, so as to save Xia Hui's life and the name of Liuyun Xia.

Yun Fan sees through this point and doesn't say anything.

Xia Hui ignored Xin Zaima's desire to speak. She turned her gaze back to the war sand table in front of her, and continued: "But now in the direction of this gap, there are already troops from the Xia Kingdom stationed. So I'm guessing that the gap hasn't been patched by the Mexicans, or rather, it's slightly patched but it's still fragile. ”

"How did this gap form?" Yun Fan frowned slightly, "Listen to what you mean, this gap already existed before the Mo Kingdom captured Liuyun City, right?"

"Yes," Xia Hui nodded, "The city defense structure of Liuyun City is not an urn city, so once you encounter a strong enemy, it will easily be lost. My father had thought of temporarily rebuilding Liuyun City into an urn, but he didn't have time, so he broke a wall in the north of the city, trying to ensure that part of the urn could be improved in the future. ”

"What, Uncle Xia still expects the people of the Mexican Kingdom to help him rebuild this city?" Yun Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this. Xia Hui ignored it, but listened to Yun Fan continue, "In other words, this gap is Uncle Xia's masterpiece, right?"

Xia Hui nodded without saying a word.

Yun Fan shook his head helplessly: "It seems that this trick has not succeeded, otherwise how could Liuyun City have fallen so completely." ”

"Not really. Xia Hui suddenly interrupted, "If Liuyun City really fell completely, how did Young Master Yun know that Mu Chen would assassinate you tonight." ”

Yun Fan smiled: "Do you believe my intuition?"

Xia Hui: "Your instincts made us wait for a long time. ”

Yun Fan: "Although I will be late, I will not be absent." ”

Xia Hui: "Now I've given you what you want." ”

Yun Fan: "It's just a part. ”

Xia Hui: "But this sincerity is enough. ”

Yun Fan: "I want to secretly pass at the entrance outside the city." ”

Xia Hui: "First tell us about your next strategic deployment. I don't want to put those long-cherished sons and daughters who have come with us at risk. ”

Yun Fan listened and was silent for a moment. Han Yu on the side also interjected inappropriately at this time: "Doesn't Young Master Yun still treat us as his own?"

Han Yu's words made Yun Fan sneer in his heart. But on the surface, he didn't show any disdain for Han Ji. Without waiting for Yun Fan to respond, Han Ji said again: "There are no outsiders here, if Young Master Yun treats me Han Ji as an outsider, I can leave here." ”

Meng Jian on the side felt very embarrassed after hearing Han Ji's words. If Han Yu is considered an outsider, then isn't he even an outsider? At this time, he heard Yun Fan sigh: "First of all, judging from the current situation, we can't kill into Liuyun City from the front. I didn't know that Uncle Xia had rebuilt the city's defenses before the fall of Liuyun City. I don't know if the people of Mexico have fulfilled the wish that Uncle Xia did not fulfill on this basis. Among the too many uncertain factors, the only thing that can be determined is that this secret passage that can lead from outside Liuyun City to Liuyun City should not have been discovered by the people of the Mexican Kingdom yet, although they may already know the existence of this secret passage. ”

"So, you plan to directly enter the city through this secret passage and bypass the Xia State army stationed outside Liuyun City, right?" Xia Hui guessed, but in exchange for Yun Fan's denial: "If I do this, will the Xia Kingdom army stationed outside the city launch a counterattack against us at that time?" Not to mention whether we can win the war, if the armies of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Tianwu Kingdom kill in the process of our struggle with the Xia Kingdom army, wouldn't it be for the Xiji people to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Xia Hui frowned: "So what is your plan?"

Yun Fan smiled slightly: "You tell me the location of the secret path outside the city, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion of Liuyun City to talk to this Liuyun City Lord of the current Mo Country." ”

When Yun Fan's words fell, everyone showed surprise on their faces, as if they all thought he was joking with themselves. However, what Yun Fan said was not a joke, but his true thoughts and plans.
