Chapter 41: Maple Leaf Valley

The last time the conversation after dinner was dispersed because of Shui Xuan's absent-mindedness and displeasure, after going back, Shui Xuan reflected on it well, this time with twelve points of concentration and very sincerity;

Fortunately, Ling Jun and his wife didn't care, and the two parties talked happily and quickly got to the point;

"Young Master Shui is here this time, presumably for the trip to Maple Valley in ten days!" Hua Caiyi looked at Shui Xuan's straightforward opening. It's not that whoever speaks first is showing weakness, but because Tiejianmen has the absolute initiative, so Huacaiyi doesn't mind picking it out. Of course, the strength of Taoyuan Mountain City is very strong, whether it is the Iron Sword Gate or the Hundred Flowers Palace, they can't afford to provoke it, so Shui Xuan can sit here, if it is weak, he will not be qualified to sit here and negotiate at all.

"Mrs. Ling and Jiaci are of the same generation, and they are both elders of Xuan, so I really can't afford to be so polite to Mrs. Ling. Shui Xuan hooked the corners of her lips, revealing the dimples on her cheeks, revealing a bit of immature cuteness in the flying.

Hua Caiyi blinked and said with a smile: "Then I will entrust you to a good nephew!"

"Xuan is very honored. Shui Xuan stood up and bowed.

"The virtuous nephew sat down quickly, there was no need to be so polite. Huacaiyi hurriedly returned the salute, beckoned Shui Xuan to sit down, and asked: "What do you want to know when you come here, don't worry about it, just ask!"

"Thank you, madam!" Shui Xuan's smile bloomed, and he didn't politely ask the question he wanted to know. "Xuan wants to know: How did we determine that the Maple Leaf Valley of the Yanyun Mountain Range is a place for immortals?"

"I'll tell the truth to my nephew! The disciple who found Maple Leaf Valley in the door has average swordsmanship, but he knows a lot about formations, and he is also first-class in the rivers and lakes, but he hasn't been able to enter the Maple Forest after wandering around that place for half a month, and the disciple has doubts in his heart, so he told his husband;" Hua Caiyi said and looked at Ling Junyi, who was sitting quietly, waiting for him to explain the following things.

Ling Junyi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Ask someone to check, but to no avail;"

The corners of Shui Xuan's eyes twitched, and she was speechless;

Hua Caiyi smiled and said: "The husband sent out invitations and invited several well-known formation masters in the rivers and lakes to break the formation together, but in the end there was still no way. ”

Hua Caiyi said and smiled slightly: "Later, I heard that the imperial court master personally came forward to investigate, but he didn't get results. ”

"How are we going to get in after ten days?" Shui Xuan's eyes widened, since no one could go in, what else were they going to do?

"Naturally, there will be a way to get in when the time comes!" Hua Caiyi smiled, blinking mysteriously without explaining in detail.

Shui Xuan didn't dwell too much on this question, and instead asked another question that he wanted to know: "Who will come by then?"

Regarding this question, Hua Caiyi smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Before this, has the virtuous nephew investigated this Runyu City under Jiuhua Mountain?"

"A little bit of understanding. Shui Xuan gave a relatively conservative answer.

"Tell me, who are the people living in Runyu City now?" asked Hua Caiyi a little mischievously. The two parties have never dealt with each other much before, Taoyuan Mountain City focuses on making money, cultivating, opening up wasteland, paving roads, and planting trees. Therefore, Huacaiyi has never had a more intuitive understanding of the strength of Taoyuan Mountain City, and only knows that there is a grandmaster, and it is not easy to provoke, as for how difficult it is, Huacaiyi does not know. Now I ask this because I want to know what kind of preparations Shui Xuan has made for this trip, or what is the intelligence capability of Taoyuan Mountain City?

Shui Xuan blinked, and replied directly without much thought: "Madam, as far as Xuan knows, there are quite a few masters of various factions living in Runyu City now!" he said and folded his fingers to calculate one by one: "The head of Diancangsha has four ninth-layer elders and eight eighth-layer protectors in the sect, a total of thirteen people;

The head of the Evergreen Sect with three ninth-layer masters and twelve eighth-layer protectors, a total of sixteen people;

The people of the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Iron Sword Gate must be on the mountain! There is no news of these two factions in Runyu City;

The valley lord Dugu only brought five nine-layer and eight eight-layer, and it was obvious that the civil strife two years ago had a great impact, and the valley should be greatly injured now;

The Demon Palace Lord Zhutian is said to be in retreat, and he didn't come in person, this operation was led by the Young Palace Lord Zhuxing, and there were many masters, and there were ten people from the ninth layer of cultivation alone, and even more from the eighth layer, about twenty-eight people;

The well-known intelligence organization Wind Pavilion also came with ten people, all of whom were ninth-level masters, led by Fengyu;

There are also a lot of relatively second-rate sects, but there are not many masters, so they care too much, but the Northwest Horse Gang and the Ninety-Nine Federation are mixed together, and there are three ninth-level masters, so they have to pay more attention;

As for the imperial court, it is led by the grandmaster is nothing more than an adult, and there are not many people who come, eight on the ninth floor, and twenty on the eighth floor, which is less than the people from the Demon Palace, but they have the grandmaster, so they occupy an absolute advantage. But......" Shui Xuan paused, thought for a while, and said with a little hesitation: "The garrison on the outskirts of the city has increased a lot of elite soldiers, more than 30,000, I don't know what the imperial court is planning?"

Hua Caiyi originally listened to the more she listened to the smile on her face, and admired Shui Xuan's accurate information, but when she heard the end, her face suddenly changed, and she looked at Shui Xuan in a little surprise: "Is this true?

Shui Xuan nodded definitely: "The garrison of Runyu City was originally around eight thousand, but now it is nearly forty thousand. ”

Hearing this, Hua Caiyi quickly turned her head to look at her husband beside her, Ling Jun was expressionless, but her eyes seemed to be much stiffer than before, feeling his wife's gaze, she nodded comfortingly, signaling that her wife did not need to be nervous. Instead, he spoke: "What do you think the imperial court has planned?"

Shui Xuan grinned, his eyes sparkling, extremely bright: "Xuan thinks that the most important thing at present is to find out: whether the grandmaster of the imperial court and the garrison outside the city are together! If it is together, then we must be careful! The imperial court probably wants to sweep us all together to rule the martial arts and seize the treasure by the way!"

"If it's not together, then it may be that some people in charge of the military want to get a piece of the pie, so they plan to rob those lonely sects halfway, then as long as we sincerely invite the master to come to the martial arts league to ask for martial arts, then there will be no danger;

"But if the imperial court made the previous idea, we invited the master to lure the wolf into the house, which is more dangerous;" Regarding the danger of the suggestion, Shui Xuan felt that it was better for him to make it clear in advance, so as not to complain later.

Ling Jun nodded, glanced at each other with Huacaiyi, and commanded loudly: "Come on!"

The disciple who was guarding at the gate of the courtyard trotted in: "Prepare to pay a respect, just say that I am going to visit Master Wuyi, and let Shi Hong personally send it over tomorrow!" Jian Shihong is the eldest disciple of Ling Junyi, he has great talent for swordsmanship, and is recognized as the young head of the Iron Sword Sect; She felt it was too risky, but there was no better way.

Shui Xuan admired Ling Junyi's decisiveness and courage very much, and he also had a sincere recognition and admiration for this alliance leader. It is said that his internal strength is at the peak of the ninth layer, if Tianruo or his mother can come over for some guidance, he will be able to advance to the grandmaster nine times out of ten, and the reason why he has not been promoted now is just because he can't get out.

If you invite him to the house later, you will ask your mother to help you when the time comes, and your mother should not refuse. In this way, the Lord of the Ling League also owes a great favor, and when the time comes, if the matter of Ah Yu is really as he expected, he can take the opportunity to propose;

When the matter is almost discussed, let's suggest it to the Ling Alliance Master! Shui Xuan secretly decided.

"If you have a question, continue to ask" Ling Junyi finished giving instructions outside, his eyes turned to Shui Xuan, and he gave a brief command.

Shui Xuan hooked her lips and smiled, revealing her small dimples and said, "Yes, I want to know what method to follow to hunt for treasures?"

"We discussed, plus a total of ten forces in Taoyuan Mountain City, each force sent three people, nine layers of cultivation, so that a total of thirty people were selected, and three teams were formed, three captains, three recorders, and three custodians were selected, and then divided into three ways to hunt for treasures, and the rest of the people were all waiting on the periphery. In the end, they can all go in;" Hua Caiyi explained here, and Shui Xuan had already understood the meaning and secretly applauded.

In this way, we can not only supervise each other, but also avoid the situation of killing people and snatching treasures to flee for their lives, and restrain each other, which is really clever. Moreover, the ten forces, the Ma Gang and the Ninety-Nine Federation are a little weak, not counting, and the remaining nine forces elected one person, which is also fair on the surface, and no one has anything to say!

"Who came up with this idea, really brilliant!" Shui Xuan exclaimed sincerely.

Hua Caiyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, a smile flashed in Ling Jun's eyes, Shui Xuan looked at the two of them inexplicably, I don't know why there was an inexplicable guess in my heart, isn't it!

"Virtuous nephew, this is boasting! This idea was proposed by the Chi Da Steward of your village!"

Sure enough, it was him, Shui Xuan grinned, smiling helplessly.

Everyone knows it, so they hide it from him, and Chi Da is in charge just to wait to see his jokes, isn't it just a little ridicule of him before? How can you hold a grudge for so long, and you are still an adult! It's too much!

Hua Caiyi looked at Shui Xuan's embarrassed and helpless expression, and changed the topic with interest: "At that time, as soon as the Chi Da Steward proposed this idea, we all applauded, and soon decided to use this method, and no one raised any objections at all!"

Shui Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If we find something good in it, how will we distribute it then?"

"We've been arguing about this for a long time! The imperial court is the strongest, and we are all subjects of the imperial court, and the people don't fight with the officials, so let him take the lion's share and take five floors; Eight points for the Diancang faction and the Evergreen faction, and two points for the Ninety-Nine Alliance; this distribution needs to wait until all the things are gathered together before calculating the value; if there are less than ten items, then the imperial court will select them first, then the Iron Sword Gate, then the Wind Pavilion, Taoyuan Mountain City, the Demon Palace, the Absolute Valley, the Diancang Faction, the Evergreen Faction, the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the Ninety-Nine Alliances will be selected in turn. ”

"Then where does Maple Valley belong in the future?"

Hua Caiyi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then returned: "Yuan Wu is so big, it is not the king's land, of course it belongs to the imperial court!

"Well, I see!" Shui Xuan nodded, and then said with a little emotion: "When we come back, it will inevitably be another storm!" This sentence is quite normal, Hua Caiyi nodded approvingly.

Unexpectedly, Shui Xuan's tone changed after saying this, and he said with a little excitement and anticipation: "You can have a good time then!"

Huacaiyi was stunned, looking at Shui Xuan's excited expression and being speechless, but Ling Junyi was quite appreciative, he also thought that a truly strong person should be not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and challenge himself head-on;

To put it mildly, it is to take the initiative to find abuse!

Seeing Ling Junyi's expression, Shui Xuan felt something, and said with a smile: "The Lord of the Ling Alliance should be a cultivator at the peak of the ninth layer! After this matter is over, it is better to be a guest in Taoyuan Mountain City, and I guarantee that you will not miss it!"

Ling Jun's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, I will definitely go to visit when the time comes!"

Stuck at the peak of the ninth layer for many years, he has not been able to break through the grandmaster, and now that the young master of Taoyuan Mountain City has personally invited him, then he has a certain degree of confidence to ask the grandmaster to guide his cultivation!

With the hope of a breakthrough, Ling Junyi's perennial waveless mood also had a moment of chaos! Huacaiyi also felt it, sincerely happy for her husband, her smile was even bigger, and her eyes became more and more cordial when she looked at Shui Xuan;

Such a considerate child, if it were his own son-in-law, how good it would be!
