Chapter 225: The Decisive Battle - Gossip Before the War
"This old ghost Cui's kung fu has improved a lot!" The sturdy old man looked at the porcelain cup that was deep inside the stone table but intact with a solemn expression, and sighed in his heart.
The old man with a thin figure and elegant temperament is surnamed Cui Mingruizhi, who is the leader of the seven people on this trip, and the old man with a strong figure and rough demeanor on the opposite side is also surnamed Cui and named Cui Mingchong. It's just that the one with the fairy wind bone is the Boling Cui clan, and the old man with a rough appearance is the Qinghe Cui clan, although he belongs to the Cui clan but is not a person from the same sect, the Qinghe Cui clan is also much weaker than the Boling Cui clan in terms of strength, but it is only weaker than the Boling Cui clan, so it is also ranked second among the seven.
Cui Mingchong still looked solemn, and the rest of the people were even more shocked, but they were surprised, and some things should be explained in advance in the eyes of several people.
The old man from the Fan Yang Lu clan spoke out to break the tranquility under Cui Ruizhi's shock: "What should I do with those secret methods of the Wan family?"
There are a lot of secret methods in the Wan family, but there are only two that can be favored by the great masters of these Grandmaster Realms, one is the technique of combined attack, although ordinary masters of the Grandmaster Realm also occasionally cooperate, but the kind of cooperation is far closer than the sum of the Ten Thousand Families, not to mention the increase in power.
As for the other one, it is a secret method that makes the eyes of these people of the family even hotter!
Everyone present knew that every twenty years in the Yuzhang family, a master of the Grandmaster Realm would appear, growing up with their contemporary family masters, and his age was even younger and terrifying, only about thirty years old.
They have all come to this day step by step, and they naturally know how difficult it is to break through the realm of the grandmaster, and the most talented people in the field can only break through to this realm after they are in their forties, but the people of the Wan family are ten years earlier than this, to say that their family has no unique method, the people in the field will never believe it.
After all, it can be said that it is luck to have a thirty-year-old grandmaster once or twice, but if it has been like this for hundreds of years, it will be difficult for them not to make such doubts. Although such a secret method against the heavens sounds so incredible, it is the only reason for them to expect or deceive themselves at the moment.
And if there really is such a secret method, it will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for them to enhance their strength.
Hearing that the old man of the Fan Yang Lu clan raised the issue of the distribution of the most important benefits, the rest of the people in the audience all looked slightly moved, and focused their attention on Cui Ruizhi.
Cui Ruizhi's face was expressionless, as if he had expected it, and replied calmly: "No matter who gets it, it is naturally a share for everyone, even if someone unfortunately dies, his share, I, Cui Ruizhi, swear in the name of the ancestors of the Cui family, will be sent to his home in its entirety." ”
Seeing Cui Ruizhi swear with his ancestors, everyone nodded slightly, they are family members who have extraordinary awe and pride in the clan and ancestors.
Seeing that the biggest disagreement had been resolved, everyone fell silent again and waited quietly in the small courtyard.
After a while, a middle-aged guard with a calm temperament knocked on the wooden door of the small courtyard, and after entering the door, he came to everyone without raising his head, and bowed down respectfully and said, "Ancestors, the goal has moved!"
Cui Ruizhi opened his eyes when he heard this, a ray of essence light shot out, and asked, "Are you sure it's Wan Dezhao?"
The middle-aged guard still didn't raise his head, and still replied respectfully: "It will never be wrong, indeed Wan Dezhao, the head of the Wan family!"
Cui Ruizhi nodded, and the middle-aged guard immediately bowed and retreated.
"Wan Dezhao must go out this time to enter Beijing, no matter what plan he has, this time, we will kill if we can, and if we can't kill it, we will leave it in Yuzhang City. If he is allowed to break through, with Wan Dezhao's ability, it is very predictable what kind of accident will occur at that time. Cui Ruizhi said with a solemn expression, it seems that he is very jealous of this master of the Wan family who does not know the slightest martial arts.
"Wan'an will follow, right?" the old man of Fan Yang Lu asked meaningfully.
Everyone present understood what he meant, Wan An, who broke through to the realm of the grandmaster in his thirties, has been in his thirties for a full twenty years now, and his profound skills can be seen, plus he is only in his fifties, and his body is in the prime of life, compared to these old men who are about to die, it is obviously much stronger. Even in their opinion, Wan An, the Grandmaster, is very likely to be the most powerful of all the Grandmaster Realm masters in the world, and he deserves to be the number one in the world!
And Wan An is not a special case among the Grandmasters of the Ten Thousand Families, in fact, he has the advantage of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm prematurely, and every Grandmaster of the Ten Thousand Families is much more powerful than the others. And this is also another big reason why they have a better peek at the secret method of ten thousand families, a secret method that does not need to exhaust its potential, and can continue to improve after breaking through, it is really impossible not to hope for it.
Wan Dezhao travels, then Wan An will definitely accompany him, this is the tradition of ten thousand families, and to fight with such a number one in the world, anyone will muttered in their hearts.
The ancestor of the Lu family also has an obvious meaning, since you Cui Ruizhi is the leader of this trip, and your kung fu is the best, then Wan'an, the hardest bone, you can't throw it to others, right?
Cui Ruizhi was still expressionless, and said: "The old man has already said just now, I will personally top the most difficult one!"
The ancestor of the Lu family didn't care about Cui Ruizhi's stunning eyes, and nodded slightly with a calm expression.
"There's no other problem, right?, let's go!" Cui Ruizhi said and stood up.
"What should we do exactly? Don't we need to plan in detail?" It was the ancestor of the Li family of Zhaojun who asked, that is, the ancestor of the Li family who appeared in the depths of the Qinling Mountains and stopped Wan Ping, Tang Xuejun and others.
"Planning? Don't need that! Now that we have seven, even if you count the 'Ping' and 'An' of the previous generation, there are only four grandmasters, and if the two of the previous generation are still alive to the present day, there are more than a hundred people, and the loess is buried on the top of their heads, what combat power can they have? At most, it is just to prevent them from making a critical attack before they die, as long as you have bright eyes, there will be no danger!" Cui Ruizhi said confidently, this time almost half of the masters from the seven of them came, and he was naturally confident.
"However, there should be two more grandmasters in Yuzhang County, right?" the Li family ancestor asked again.
"What are you afraid of? The two old guys of the Huang family and the Luo family will definitely come, just send two people to entangle them when the time comes, let's only deal with the Wan family, although the lips are cold, but at our point, who will not spare their lives? These two old guys will make a wise choice!" Cui Mingchong on the side said arrogantly, Cui Mingchong was rough on the surface, but his mind was not ambiguous at all, of course, which person who could come to his point was simple?
The ancestor of the Li family had no doubts, but then he couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know what's strange about this Yuzhang County, there are actually six grandmasters in the land of one county, and the old guys in the entire south are afraid that they don't have ten fingers, right?"
The ancestor of the Li family used a question sentence, in fact, they did not have a definite answer to this point, and the masters of the Grandmaster Realm did not have a definite answer.
"In my opinion, there are only twenty or thirty old guys like us in the entire Tang Dynasty! This small Yuzhang County actually accounts for nearly forty percent, but it is strange!"
"Okay! No matter what reputation Yuzhang County has, let's take it down this time, and then there will be time to investigate it properly!" Cui Ruizhi ended everyone's discussion about Yuzhang City.
"Let's act together?" asked the ancestor of the Fan Yang Lu clan.
Cui Ruizhi glanced at him deeply, nodded indifferently, and replied: "Of course! So many of us are rushing towards Wan Dezhao, and these old guys can only run with us, and if we divide our troops to act, will it be difficult, do you have the ability to face the combined attack of 'Ping' and 'An' alone?"
Cui Ruizhi said while carefully observing the expression on the face of the ancestor of the Lu family, but people who have cultivated to their realm, it has long been a habit to be happy and angry, and Cui Ruizhi naturally has no gain.
After that, everyone was speechless and set off quietly, Cui Ruizhi walked last this time, and Cui Mingchong, who was in front, took a step behind under the pretext of being one step behind, and asked in a low voice that could only be heard by two people: "Is there a problem with this surnamed Lu?"
There are also disputes and infighting among the seven sects and five surnames, and naturally they also have their own alliances, Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui were originally a family hundreds of years ago, and they naturally have a connection, so Cui Mingchong will rashly ask Cui Ruizhi about this sensitive topic at this moment.
Cui Ruizhi didn't squint, but replied lightly: "Fan Yang Lu's family has gone a little far from us in recent years!"
Cui Ruizhi replied with such a puzzling remark, but Cui Mingchong quickly understood, originally according to the region, the traditional spheres of influence of the three families were very close to each other, but the Fan Yang Lu clan has gradually distanced themselves from the two of them in recent years, and instead went to make friends with the rest of the families that are farther away.
"Is it a long-distance and close attack?" Cui Mingchong muttered in a low voice, but then he laughed and said, "The ambition is not small!
The seven people walked out of the small courtyard, did not take the main road, and went straight through the countryside, and their footsteps did not move much, but their bodies moved forward quickly, obviously looking like they were walking, but the speed was three points faster than that of galloping horses, whether it was a field or a pond, it was like walking on the ground, and the strength of the master realm master was beginning to emerge.
The seven of them walked in the countryside and faintly formed a small group of threes and twos, although what I said just now was very good, but just like Cui Mingchong just said, those who have survived to their point are often more desperate and more afraid of death than others!
Cui Ruizhi relied on his profound skills to run to the front, ignoring what was behind him, and just rushed forward.
It only took more than half an hour for the seven of them to arrive at a valley, which was not tall and low hills on both sides, and the unspoiled ecology made the vegetation on the hills dense, and from time to time there were bursts of insects and birds in the clumps of vegetation.
The valley is almost elliptical, only a small road in the middle passes through the valley, from this path all the way north can quickly reach the south bank of the Yangtze River, the family in the south will naturally not lack boats, if Wan Dezhao rushes to the Yangtze River, there are too many ways to escape from under their noses, for this reason, Cui Ruizhi can only do it before Wan Dezhao rushes to the Yangtze River.
Fortunately, their seven sects and five surnames are not unknown, and over the years, there are also a lot of shadows in the Yuzhang family, some of them were discovered but pretended not to be aware, while some of them made Wan Jiajue not suspect, or even dare not doubt.
There is no one in the major families who is not proficient in these indirect and counter-inverse methods, and it is nothing more than who is more sophisticated.
And this time, the secret son of the seven sects and five surnames planted in the Wanjia family successfully passed on the information.
The subtle sound of the wheels of the carriage and the solid wood and iron rolling over the dirt naturally could not escape the ears and eyes of the seven people.
The goal has come!
The coachman who drove was obviously a good hand, and the galloping carriage met the seven people standing still at the end of the path, and he did not see too much movement of the coachman, his two wrists trembled, the reins tightened slightly, and the leather whip brushed gently on the horse's buttocks, and the carriage quickly stopped, and the whole process was like flowing water, and the carriage did not have the slightest jolt, and the people in the carriage would never be disturbed if they were asleep.
Next to the coachman, there was an old man in his fifties sitting quietly, as soon as the carriage stopped, the old man slowly opened his eyes and calmly looked at the seven people in front of him, it was the grandmaster of the Wan family, Wan An.
"Seven, it's really not bad!" Wan An said softly.
The voice was not loud, but Cui Ruizhi heard it very clearly, and laughed softly: "Treat the first in the world, you should always be more stable!"
When Wan An heard this, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, he looked at Cui Ruizhi not far away, and asked, "No. 1 in the world?"
Wan An is usually very low-key, and he even has very few tricks with others, at most he is to learn from a few old people in the family, this so-called "first in the world" false name, Wan An really doesn't have much interest, but when he hears it, he will inevitably be a little confused.
Cui Ruizhi still smiled: "Brother Wan broke through to the realm of grandmaster at a young age, and now twenty years have passed, his skills are getting stronger, and his body is in the prime of life, which is naturally much stronger than our group of dying old men, who dares to ask for the first name in the world except Brother Wan?"
Wan An was noncommittal, shook his head, and asked in a loud voice: "How many people are here to kill us?"
Cui Ruizhi nodded with a smile without the slightest prevarication, because it was a contempt for Wan'an, a master, and an insult to themselves.
"Oh. Wan An replied lightly, and then asked again: "Why didn't those people make a move?"
Cui Ruizhi glanced into the distance and replied, "Don't worry, there are still a few people who are not on the spot, so let's wait for everyone to shoot together!"
When Wan An heard this, the expression on his face changed for the first time, the corners of his mouth raised lightly, and he said, "Seven to one, isn't it easy to take this opportunity to take me down?"
When Cui Ruizhi heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he replied with a solemn face: "Brother Wan, this is doubting my vision!"
The smile on Wan An's face became more and more intense: "I really didn't expect that Brother Cui would think so highly of Wan. ”
Cui Ruizhi also smiled and replied: "That's natural, it's not too cautious to fight against Brother Wan." ”
"Then now, we're just waiting?" Wan An stretched out his finger and pointed behind him, asking Cui Ruizhi.
"It doesn't matter! It won't take long. Cui Ruizhi said with a smile.
The room fell silent, except for the sounds of birds and beasts in the jungle on the hillside.
Indeed, it did not take long for four figures to slowly appear at the entrance of the valley path, their footsteps floating, and in three or two they crossed the road for several miles, and appeared on the side of the carriage.
After getting the seven masters of the Grandmaster Realm from the seven sects and five surnames, Wan Jia naturally also made some responses, after all, the other party had an advantage in numbers, and Wan Dezhao made a lot of arrangements for this trip, and formulated several sets of plans in advance, which was nothing more than a response to the division of troops or the combination of seven troops.
It's just that now it seems that Wan Dezhao's other disguise or confusion this time has completely lost its effect, and the other party can appear here accurately, and there are many people, so it is obvious that the other party has a secret son in his own house, and it is the kind that is not low-level, and I don't know how many years it has been lurking.
"Why are there only four of them?" Cui Ruizhi's expression on his face became slightly surprised this time.
Wan An replied calmly: "Brother Cui knows my family very thoroughly! Brother Cui doesn't have to wait, there is another old-timer who is old and hasn't been out of the house for many years, so forget it this time." ”
Wan An's bland words revealed a strong self-confidence, as if what he was facing now was not a battle of life and death, but just a gathering of ordinary old friends.
Cui Ruizhi slowly narrowed his eyes, looked at Wan An, and only after a while did he return to normal, and then laughed: "Hehe, it's okay! When it's over, Cui will personally visit the old senior!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored Wan An, but turned his gaze and said to the two old men who came over: "These two should be friends of the Huang family and the Luo family, right?
"Hehe, the two of us are usually too lazy to move around, and it's normal that Brother Cui hasn't seen it. The old man of the Huang family replied with a smile.
"It's okay! Although today is the first time we met, but meeting is fate, Cui really wants to have a good time with the two of you afterwards!" Cui Ruizhi said with a calm smile, not realizing that his discord was so obvious.
The two old men of the Huang family and the Luo family glanced at each other, and then shook their heads at Cui Ruizhi with a wry smile, and said, "Brother Cui has good intentions, but now that we are in danger, I am afraid that there is not much leisure." ”
"Haha, how can it be? As long as the two of you are willing, no matter how much time you have, Cui Mou invited each other alone, what are you worried about?" Cui Ruizhi still didn't want to give up, and sincerely invited again.
"Alas, don't say it, if you keep talking, my old Luo can't help but be moved, but we are all here, if we don't move our bodies, even if we are lucky to go back, I am afraid that I will not have the face to see people!" The old man of the Luo family shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Cui Ruizhi glanced at the two of them carefully, smiled meaninglessly, and said, "Even so, then Cui Mou will not force it." ”
"Lao Li, Lao Zheng, the two of you will accompany the two of you to the event!"
As soon as these words came out, the war began......
