Chapter 156: Trickery

No one wants to fight a civil war, neither the Black Armor Battalion nor the Praetorian Guard.

Although no one in the Praetorian Guard wanted to believe that Qiao Bo would really compromise, if the compromise was true, it would undoubtedly be the best.

Hu Ren's footsteps were eager, and he quickly rushed into the stone building and climbed to the second floor.

When he came to Qin Lin, he was already out of breath.

Counting Hu Ren is also a martial artist in the warrior realm, his physical fitness should not be so gasping for breath after sprinting these few steps, and it is also the result of being overly emotional.

"Qin, Qin Gongzi, Qiao Xing, Qiao Xing is really in prison?"

Hu Ren gave up.

Qin Lin always looked at the front of the territory outside the window and did not look back.

Simply and clearly responded: "Qiao Xing is indeed in prison now." ”

"Really, great. ”

Hu Ren was delighted.

Qin Lin shook his head lightly, speechless.

Hu Ren asked again: "Then do we still have to fight? If Qiao Bai comes to ask the Pavilion Master to take charge of Lishan again." ”

"It's best not to fight. "Qin Lin.

"Great, great. ”

Hu Ren got the answer he wanted and breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't see Qin Lin's expression at this time.

That's a kind of conditioning, helpless.

Qin Lin secretly said in his heart: "Qiao Bai, the old fox, has two brushes, and his debt separation plan gives me no choice, so I can only follow the plot he arranged." ”

In fact, Qin Lin could directly tell Hu Ren that the reason why Qiao Xing was imprisoned was completely Qiao Bai's expedient measure.

Qiao Bai is at least supported by Wei Ying's strength behind him, so it is impossible for Qiao Bai to compromise.

So what is the purpose of him now pretending to invite Kong Lingyu to take charge of Lishan again?

Want to let Kong Lingyu sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Be!

Want to delay this wartime situation and wait for reinforcements, such as Wei's reinforcements, or reinforcements from other forces?

Be!

Qin Lin sighed.

He understood that Qiao Bai was taking advantage of the psychology that everyone didn't want to fight.

If Qin Lin insists on not agreeing with Qiao Bai's compromise and insists on continuing to fight, then his position will fall into passivity.

Because Qiao Bai will definitely continue to show a gesture of compromise.

At that time, it was Qin Lin, an outsider, who was instigating the civil war in Lishan.

"Qin Gongzi, you still have to go up to the third floor, please come forward, since Qiao Xing, the culprit of the rebellion, has been imprisoned, then let the Pavilion Master order Qiao Xing to be executed. ”

Hu Ren said.

Qin Lin nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go and ask the pavilion master." ”

As he spoke, Qin Lin stepped up to the third floor.

Kong Lingyu stood in front of the window on the third floor and also saw the scene in front of the formation.

She didn't know what was going on, so when she saw Qin Lin coming up, she immediately asked, "Qin Lin, what happened, is there going to be a war?"

The girl's tone was a little flustered.

Qin Lin shook his head: "Qiao Bai has come to ask you to regain control of Lishan." ”

"Huh?"

Kong Lingyu and Liu showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Qin Lin smiled faintly: "Unbelievable, right?"

"Is that old immortal going to surrender?" the girl asked.

Liu Ye was also excited, and she actually forgot the basic principle that she couldn't interject when the pavilion master spoke, and asked Qin Lin directly: "Young Master Qin, we don't have to fight anymore, do we?

It can be seen that Liu is also very reluctant to fight.

Qin Lin took a deep breath, smiled, and turned to face Liu: "Yes, there is no need to fight, Liu, you go out for a while, I have something to say to your pavilion master." ”

"Good!

Ryu left the room happily.

The girl stared at Qin Lin.

Hearing Qiao Bai's compromise, although the girl was skeptical, she also showed a "relieved" expression.

But at this time, the girl stared at Qin Lin and faintly realized that something was wrong.

Even though Qin Lin's expression was still smiling, the girl seemed to see through Qin Lin's heart and knew Qin Lin's true helplessness.

"Qiao Bai is here to deceive him, right?"

The girl asked.

Qin Lin looked at the girl in surprise: "Did you take the wrong medicine today? How did you become so smart?" ”

"Hmph, I'm the Pavilion Master, and I'm smart. ”

The girl pursed her lips proudly.

Qin Lin stretched out his hand and stroked her hair.

This move was too intimate, which made the girl a little shy.

However, she didn't know that Qin Lin was pituring her.

Because she is about to be sent to Qiao Bai's tiger mouth Zheng as a "sheep".

Qin Lin: "You have to remember one thing. ”

"What?" Kong Lingyu looked at Qin Lin seriously.

"No matter what happens, you are the Pavilion Master, and you have to show the courage to be the Pavilion Master. ”

"Nonsense, the Pavilion Master has always been very bold. ”

"That's good, don't be scared to cry. ”

Qin Lin sneered.

The girl always felt that Qin Lin had something to say, but before she could ask, Qin Lin had already taken over and said: "Before you go to the battle, tell Qiao Bai as soon as possible that you want to pardon Yiqiong, and wait until Yiqiong leaves the prison before stepping out of the safety of the territory." ”

"Huh?" the girl was stunned.

She felt that Qin Lin was explaining the follow-up.

But why confess?

Could it be that Qin Lin didn't participate in the follow-up?

The girl asked questions and said, "Qin Lin, where are you going?

"I want to refine the pill, and when the life-sustaining pill is completed, I still have to go to the cave to find the Luo Mang people. ”

Qin Lin looked at Yu'er, who was sitting on the bed and playing with herself.

"Also, arrange for Liu to stay here, take care of Yu'er, and wait for me to come back. ”

"But ......"

The girl's mind was a little confused.

She hesitated for a moment, "No, didn't you just now Qiao Bai just surrender? Isn't it dangerous for me to go to the front of the battle now?" ”

"The danger now is not as good as the danger ahead. ”

Qin Lin lowered his tone.

He knew that if he had guessed correctly, then at least one force outside of Lishan was coming to support Qiao Bai at this time.

Qin Lin had to complete the study of the secret of the "Dark Thunder Array" before this supporting force arrived in Lishan.

Fortunately, the Formation Heart Technique is different from the Martial Arts Heart Technique, which requires repeated cultivation in order to exert its true power.

The Formation Heart Trick only needs to solve the mystery, and it can be driven to exert different levels of lethality by the strength of the concentration of martial energy.

As for how to solve the mystery, Qin Lin believed that his two lifetimes of knowledge of martial arts, coupled with the personal teaching of Luo Mang Rao, would definitely be able to complete the process of solving the mystery as quickly as possible.

"Go ahead, don't care if Qiao Bai surrenders or not, anyway, hypocrites also have to pretend to be gentlemen, so let him release Yiqiong from the mountain cell now, if he doesn't agree, then there is no need to accept his surrender. ”

Qin Linyan.

This is the only way for him to balance Qiao Bai at the moment.

Ijun has an extremely high position in the hearts of the Praetorian Guards, so if Qiao Bai does not agree to release Ijun, then the Praetorian Guards will continue to fight even if they are no longer willing to fight.

The girl hesitated.

She unconsciously stretched out her slender fingers and held Qin Lin's hand.

"You promised me that you would help me, don't leave me, after you give the pill to the Luo Mang clan, you must come back. ”

The girl was like a helpless child, just wanting to rely on Qin Lin.

Qin Lin stretched out his hand and stroked her hair again.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely coming back, we're not in the interests of Lishan, how can I not come back. ”

"You're willing to come back for the sake of profit?"

The girl pouted.

Qin Lin pretended not to agree, "Otherwise, Lishan's thirty percent of the benefits are a literary number, I don't want this, what else can I do for this." ”

"You're going to die! ”

The girl scolded, turned around, and walked out of the room proudly.

But the corners of her mouth still outlined a faint smile.

Hu Ren had been waiting anxiously on the second floor, and he was very excited when he saw Kong Lingyu coming downstairs.

"Pavilion Master, Qiao Bai has surrendered, and we have won. ”

Hu Ren gave up.

The girl snorted, didn't speak, and walked directly downstairs.

A large number of Praetorian Guards and New Guards were already standing in front of the stone tower, greeting the girl.

Then they hugged the girl and walked to the front of the formation, and came to Qiao Bai.

When Qiao Bai saw the girl, he bent down and arched his hand: "Visit the pavilion master, the old man is guilty, and he has no way to teach his son, so please ask the pavilion master to give him his sin." ”

"I want the Pavilion Master to give you sin, right?"

The girl stiffened her expression, "Then give you the death penalty, give you a knife, and kill yourself!"

“......”

Qiao Bai lowered his head and did not speak.

He had expected that the wayward Kong Lingyu would say such things.

The two armies are facing each other, and now it is peace talks.

And since it is a peace talk, both sides should take a step back and hypocritically tolerate each other.

It's just that Kong Lingyu doesn't care at all about the skills of "peace talks," nor does he care about the fact that this "death" remark may intensify the contradiction and further aggravate the situation.

In the black armor camp behind Qiao Bai, the Great Elder walked forward slowly on crutches.

"Visiting the Pavilion Master. ”

The Great Elder continued to walk closer to Kong Lingyu as he spoke, without the slightest intention of bending down to salute.

He walked up to the girl as if he was confident, and said with a faint smile: "Pavilion Master, this matter is all caused by Qiao Xing's recklessness, and now Elder Qiao has imprisoned Qiao Xing in prison, and he has also quelled this civil war in our Lishan, he is a meritorious man, why do you still want to kill Elder Qiao?"

"Humph!"

Kong Lingyu looked at the Great Elder with cold eyes.

She originally wanted to blurt out and give the Great Elder death.

But she is not stupid, knowing that at this time, it is meaningless to give death or not, whether it is Qiao Bai or the Great Elder, how can she really die because of her sentence of death?

"It's still Qin Lin's right, the first time should be to let Qiao Bai release Chief Yiwei, and the rest is meaningless. ”

The girl said secretly in her heart.

Qiao Bai bowed down, and the Great Elder straightened his chest.

There is a contrast in the attitudes of the two people in front of Kong Lingyu, but their thoughts are completely the same, and they both believe that Kong Lingyu has no way to take them.

The Great Elder's remarks were sprinkled with joy, and he sang praises for Qiao Bai to quell the civil strife.

Qiao Bai also gladly accepted all the words of praise, and pretended in front of Kong Lingyu.

Kong Lingyu was silent for a moment.

She really felt that Qin Lin knew how to grasp people's hearts better.

At the moment, what surrender or not, the general trend of Lishan is still in Qiao Bai's hands, and Kong Lingyu's so-called regaining power is just continuing to be a puppet.

"Disgusting!"

The girl secretly complained, and then spoke: "Okay, since the Great Elder thinks that Elder Qiao has contributed to quelling the civil strife, then let's reward the meritorious deeds, but before that, the Pavilion Master has an order that I don't know if you are willing to listen to." ”

"Please give the Pavilion Lord's order!"

Qiao Bai and the Great Elder responded at the same time.

The girl said: "The main thing in this cabinet is to let the captain of the guard return to the Praetorian Guard and continue to serve as the head of the guard of the Praetorian Guard. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Bai raised his head suddenly, his eyes showing surprise.

But he didn't say anything, he didn't seem to object, just glanced at the Great Elder beside him with sly eyes.

The Great Elder understood the hint in Qiao Bai's eyes, and immediately spoke: "Pavilion Master, by all means, Yi Qiong killed innocents indiscriminately, ruined the reputation of my Lishan, his sins deserve to be executed, and now thinking of his past exploits in Lishan, it is a great gift to only put him in the mountain prison." ”

"Enough is enough!"

Kong Lingyu's sharp eyes stared at the Great Elder viciously.

She said angrily: "Chief Yi Wei killed innocents indiscriminately, ruined the reputation of Lishan, Great Elder, when you said this, did you think you were still a human being?"

"I ......"

The Great Elder was always a person who had no guts, and he was so frightened that he took a step back when he was glared at by Kong Lingyu.

There is no way, he is just a chess piece in Qiao Bai's hand, he has no real power, and he has no confidence to confront Kong Lingyu.

Moreover, when he said that Yiqiong "killed innocents indiscriminately and deserved to be executed", the anger of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard was already burning, and the entire territory was faintly filled with a sense of persecution.

Kong Lingyu continued to say angrily: "Great Elder, Elder Qiao, whether Captain Yiqiong is guilty or not, you two elders know better than anyone else! If you don't plan to release people, then the Pavilion Master can only execute you in exchange for Captain Yiqiong's innocence!"

Kong Lingyu was very serious about these words.

Qiao Bai remained silent, he could feel the anger in the girl's heart, and even more so the anger in the hearts of the guards of the Praetorian Guard.

Arching his hand, he bent his waist down a few more points.

"I respectfully obey the orders of the Pavilion Lord, Captain Iqiong's past merits are outstanding, whether he has killed innocents indiscriminately this time, he should be rewarded with merit. ”

Jobber agreed to release Ijon.

The girl's tense face relaxed slightly, "Okay, then ask Elder Qiao to take someone to the mountain peak cell first and invite Chief Yi Wei." ”

"Yes, obey!"

Qiao Bo stepped back.

The Great Elder was a little dazed.

He hurriedly followed Qiao Bai on crutches, and asked in a panicked voice: "Sixth, do you really want to release Yiqiong? We finally locked up Yiqiong, if we let him back, wouldn't it be a release of the tiger back to the mountain?"

The Great Elder's concern was not unfounded.

Yi Qiong has the terrifying strength of the Martial King Realm, and he is the strongest person on Lishan Mountain.

It was because of Yi Qiong's protection of Kong Lingyu that the Seven Elder Families did not dare to be too unscrupulous towards Kong Lingyu.

The corners of Qiao Bai's mouth rose slightly at this time.

He said: "Why can't the tiger return to the mountain? The tiger does not understand human nature, and we don't care who he wants to bite." ”

"Ahh......h

Qiao Bai gave the Great Elder a hideous expression and let him comprehend it on his own.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

In front of the territorial array, Kong Lingyu was looking forward to Yiqiong's return, she sat in the tent set up by the guards of the Praetorian Guard, her eyes sometimes looking in the direction of the Black Armor Battalion, sometimes looking at the stone tower.

"I don't know if Qin Lin's pill has been refined, and Qiao Bai, the old immortal, is too slow!"

Kong Lingyu complained a little.

In fact, she had long wanted to go back to the stone tower, but when she thought of the last conversation with Qin Lin this morning, she felt faintly reluctant in her heart.

She was afraid that if she returned to the stone building and saw Qin Lin again, she would be even more reluctant.
