Extra: Rivers and Lakes and Cages (4)
"The remnants of the Demon Sect are a trap?" Xu Heng asked cautiously.
"No, not exactly. They are indeed the core force secretly sent by the Demon Sect, and in order to make a comeback in the future, they also carry a large number of treasures. And this, if I hadn't discovered their traces by chance, this batch of remnants who were enough for the Demon Sect to become a major disaster in the Central Plains Martial Arts again in the future would have really fled to the Western Regions.
Having participated in the Demon Eradication War, I and the disciples of various sects who were not deeply involved in the world greatly underestimated the insidious and dangerous nature of the Demon Sect.
The remnants of the Demon Sect had long considered the possibility of their whereabouts being discovered, so as soon as they left the Second Mansion of Xijing, they set up a bureau in the Western Regions to ambush and pursue the soldiers.
And we, as soon as we came out of the Western Regions, they were discovered, and they pretended not to know, and regarded us as the bait of the Central Plains martial arts, so from the beginning of leaving the Western Regions, we fell into the calculations of the remnants of the Demon Sect, and finally ......"
A tear flowed from the old man's closed eyes: "Approach, the whole army is annihilated......"
Xu Heng was silent.
Is that what he wants to tell me?
- The consequences of arbitrary acts.
Xu Heng suddenly thought of the princess of the rivers and lakes.
This is also something that he takes the initiative to take care of, so that the princess of the rivers and lakes can change her evil and return to the right and accept her as a righteous sister, which is a whim.
At the moment, it seems that there are no bad consequences.
So what exactly is he trying to explain to me?
Xu Heng looked at Luo Jiuxin.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and pulled out another thick book from the bookshelf behind him. Put it in front of Xu Heng.
"Look at this again. The old man said.
The four big characters on the cover: "Shangguan Listening to the Snow" are exactly the same as the first book Xu Heng saw, but the small characters annotated next to the title of the book are different, and the two words in red: "Suggestions for coping".
"Secret notes?"
These two words made Xu Heng a little puzzled.
"Read on. The old man's gentle gaze was gradually sharpening, his back was slowly straightening, and the usual jade-faced divine dragon was gradually returning.
Xu Heng glanced at Luo Jiuxin and opened Shangguan Tingxue's response file.
The more I looked, the more I sweated.
It's like watching the princess's file file at the beginning.
It's just that the content recorded in it made Xu Heng even more frightened.
After a long time, Xu Heng raised his head and looked at Luo Jiuxin. Asked the same question as the previous one: "Is this the Jianghu?"
The content of the question is the same, but the meaning is different.
Luo Jiuxin knows this very well. So his answer was: "Another small part of the rivers and lakes." ”
Xu Heng smiled helplessly.
"Do you want to know how I led the team that was almost wiped out in the first encounter with the enemy, annihilated the remnants of the Demon Sect, and finally won the title of 'Jade-Faced Divine Dragon' Hero?" Luo Jiuxin asked.
Xu Heng looked at the old man who had recovered into a jade-faced divine dragon, thought about it, and gave up his guessing plan. Nodding.
"We were ambushed by the remnants of the Demon Sect, and when the army was almost wiped out, our division actually arrived and fought with the main force of the remnants of the Demon Cult, and we took the opportunity to escape with our lives.
However, the original plan of the remnants of the Demon Sect was to use us to catch big fish, and the elders of the sect were killed just in time for their second ambush. Although they have resisted desperately, the various sects have also suffered heavy casualties.
And at this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword Master led the Central Plains Jianghu Coalition Army led by us before leaving, and with Su Can's cooperation, the remnants of the Demon Sect were wiped out in one fell swoop. We were saved from being defeated.
As a result of this war, the power of the Jianghu sect in Xijing Erfu was extremely weak, and in order to maintain the normal operation of the forces within the Xijing Erfu, I was supported and became one of the heroes who rose in the battle of demons.
After that, I relied on my position to integrate the power of all the sects in Xijing and create the God of Wealth Temple and the Gambling Emperor Zhai. Become a figure in the power of the rivers and lakes in Xijing Erfu. ”
"All the way, so far. ”
After Luo Jiuxin's experience back then, Xu Heng found a problem in it, he looked at the wise and sharp eyes of the jade-faced divine dragon, and said word by word: "Have you found ......?"
Have you noticed that many things are a bit too coincidental?
Why did the remnants of the Demon Sect who had gone to the Western Regions stealthily and disappeared into the Western Regions have rich experience enough to lay traps in the Western Regions to assassinate them and their teachers one after another, but they were discovered by him, a rookie in the rivers and lakes?
Why did their division become indifferent to this matter at first, and why did they suddenly rush out to save them when they were about to be wiped out?
Why did the army led by the Xuanyuan Sword Lord appear precisely when their division was ambushed and the entire army was about to be wiped out?
It's all such a coincidence.
Coincidentally, Xu Heng had to suspect that there was a conspiracy.
And Luo Jiuxin's answer was as straightforward as his people: "Of course." ”
Luo Jiuxin simply agreed, and gave a more detailed explanation: "I found out that something was wrong afterwards, so I desperately used my hero name to develop my own power in the rivers and lakes, so as to climb to the top of the Xijing Erfu and become the spokesperson of the entire Xijing Erfu Jianghu power, so as to have the power and ability to discover the truth of the year." ”
Luo Jiuxin looked at Xu Heng's eyes, and there was no emotion in his eyes: "The truth is just as you think." ”
Xu Heng gritted his teeth: "Thunder Alliance Master, are they actually that kind of person?!"
"They may not have been, but reality forced them to be. Luo Jiuxin said meaningfully, "Now I am too." ”
One sentence and five words made Xu Hengmao pause, and he suddenly realized: "The demise of the Taiyi faction is your arrangement! The God of Wealth Temple is also your strength!" Xu Heng's words stopped suddenly, and he looked at the old man incredulously: "Could it be that the matter of the princess of the rivers and lakes is also the same!"
- "There is no need for the Taiyi faction to exist, I am the Taiyi faction, I exist, and the gambling emperor will exist." Gambling Emperor Zhai exists, and Taiyi faction exists. After my death, the gambling emperor will also exist, but it may be under a different name. ”
- "The God of Wealth Temple nominally belongs to Su Can, and the person who actually controls it is also Su Can, and I, the person in charge in secret, don't need the God of Wealth Temple to do anything for me, just give him a little guidance at the right time." ”
- "Guidance, sometimes it doesn't need to be explicitly spoken, just a little hint, and the other person may unknowingly go the way you want him to take." ”
Xu Heng felt a surge of anger surging between his chest and abdomen: "My every move is expected and arranged by 'you', isn't it?!"
Xu Heng deliberately strengthened the pronunciation of the two of you. Because he didn't believe that only Luo Jiuxin was doing this.
Most likely, he had been cheering in another cage since he walked out of that cage in the court. Unaware that this cage is being tightened little by little, leaving him with no way to escape!
