Chapter 100: Curved Ruler Piercing Arrow (2)
"But...... At the moment of the great enemy, I am the highest-level commander of the base, if I don't go out, who will go out? Jade Fox Chan muttered.
"Unless you want to 'sacrifice arrows with blood' yourself—" I smiled with my eyes closed.
"Of course I don't want to, but I also don't want to see the base fall into the hands of the enemy, and the remains of Kusanagi's predecessors, the secrets in my memory...... Mr. Long, is there any better way to achieve the best of both worlds? Jade Fox asked.
I shook my head: "No, but you can't find death either." I guess that outside the door is the general of the Yellow Flower Society, and he is also a master who is above the 'rain of recovering the country, coming late and urgent'. You don't have a chance of winning, so why go out? ”
Jade Fox Chan was stunned for a few seconds before nodding deeply.
She didn't say anything more, my words were very straightforward, and the words "no chance of winning" had already made the whole essence of the problem clear. Only a fool would do something stupid to hit a stone with an egg, and a smart man spends most of his time using his brains rather than his hands, and the same is true of the great generals outside the door.
The Yellow Flower Society and the Japanese ninja are rivals, so Jade Fox Zen should know the strength of the Yellow Flower Society very well, and even made a detailed investigation of the Great General.
My judgment of the situation is based on my sixth sense, and the reason why Jade Fox Zen agrees with me is based on the analysis of all the data.
Now, hiding indoors and resisting stubbornly, although formally unsightly, may be the only way to solve the problem. The two sides are now fighting wits, not wrestling, and if either side makes a mistake, they will lose the whole game.
I haven't met the general, I just talked to her on the phone, but I can feel that Teacher Yan and Ding Xiaoxiao are very in awe of the general.
Perhaps in their eyes, the general is a symbol of strength and authority.
I opened my eyes and looked at the door The power of the Ruler Piercing Sword could not be ignored, and the general came here to take advantage of the base's defects in Feng Shui to perfectly offset the geographical advantage of the Jade Fox Zen.
The three major elements of war are time, location, and people, and this is the base of Japanese ninjas, and the most reliable thing for the Jade Fox Zen side is the location. As soon as the general made a move, he knocked out the ninja's greatest advantage.
As for the time and the people, there is little difference between the two sides. One is from Dongying, the other is from the United States, and all of them are outsiders.
I only hope that after sending away Teacher Yan and Ding Xiaoxiao, the general will be lonely and dare not act rashly. Otherwise, the ninjas in the base will face a horrific slaughter.
In this battle, no matter what, I have to protect Jade Fox Zen, this is my bottom line. As for the others, there is nothing I can do, and the bodies of vegetative people, including Kusanagi Kan, cannot be guaranteed to be undisturbed.
I still have a lot of questions about the Yellow Flower Club, such as their goals, value orientation, backers, strength, and so on. Like Teacher Yan, he is only worthy of being a pawn under the command of the masters, and it is pointless to communicate with him.
I hope that the general will be a reasonable person, and a person who does not care about the immediate gains and losses for the sake of the final victory. Only in this way will he be able to control his actions and never kill at will. I always thought that one person had no right to take the life of another. If the master can wantonly kill, what is the difference between it and the Japanese invaders who invaded the Central Plains? Because of this, even on Hong Kong Island, I have never let myself go, even if this has been repeatedly criticized by the previous generation of masters of Perak Tong.
"The enemy is outside the door, the enemy is outside the door...... Although I have done a lot of preparations, my estimation of the Yellow Flower Society is still far from enough. Jade Fox Zen chuckled bitterly in a low voice.
"See the moves, the rules of the rivers and lakes." I looked up at her.
At this moment, I was sitting and she was standing, and the two of them looked at each other.
Her chin was extremely small and delicate, like a surgeon shaved out of a ruler, one more point too fat, one less too thin, and the curves were so perfect that they were impeccable.
"If you weren't here, maybe I would have rushed out and fought the enemy on the spot." Jade Fox Zen said with a little shame.
Since she said the word "spelling", it proves that she is completely at a disadvantage, and she has no bottom in her heart, so she will make a desperate bet and concentrate on the final blow, and the result can be imagined.
"Life is difficult, the future is beautiful, do it and cherish it." I responded to her indifferently.
She was right, it was because of my obstruction that she stopped her breaking blow that would rather be broken than broken.
Once they rushed out, the result was, of course, "jade shattering", no different from the result in 1945 when countless Japanese soldiers would rather die than surrender, and could only cut their stomachs.
Time passed minute by minute, and across that door, the general and Jade Fox Chan were repeatedly trying to figure out each other's psychology.
I am not in awe of the general, but the curved ruler in front of me.
Ancient Chinese Feng Shui is so profound that even those of our time who are good at solving Feng Shui conflicts for others may not have insight into the full mysteries.
Since someone must shed blood to sacrifice arrows, then the person who sacrifices arrows must be prepared in advance.
The computer screen was still on, and the picture of Fang Shen Zhizi was still there. It occurred to me that it had been me who had been thinking about Kusanagi all along. If it were up to him to figure out my mind and face the current predicament, what should I do?
"Is it a preemptive Jedi counterattack? Or do you keep backing down and then make the enemy lose their guard and then fight back? Or is there another hidden mechanism in this base that can slay enemies in the shadows? "I kept asking myself questions in the bottom of my mind.
Suddenly, I thought again: "Is the woman who is in love with a great wise man also a great wise man?" ”
Modern psychologists often say that a woman's appearance is inversely proportional to her IQ. The more beautiful a woman is, the less intelligent she will be.
Fang Shen Zhizi has so many good impressions that when I saw that picture, I completely ignored the issue of IQ.
A great wise man like Kusanagi Kan should have seen the world, and it is rare for love at first sight to happen, and it is rare to fall madly in love with a woman just because of her appearance. So, I'm also interested in Fang Shen Zhizi's IQ.
It was precisely because I thought of the Miao Jiang Gu Technique and the Nanyang Head Lowering Technique just now that I thought deeply about this question.
A large amount of research data from many Gu art research experts proves that it is not easy to truly reach the peak of Gu art, and it requires extremely high intelligence, mysterious chance, and unique bloodline in the Miao Jiang tribe.
The accumulation of so many harsh conditions is equivalent to saying that it is almost impossible for any civilian in Miao Jiang to become a Great Gu Refiner. Those well-known Great Gu Masters were all born in the Gu Sect Family, and since they were children, they have been taught by the words and deeds of their elders, and they have a wide range of knowledge and broad horizons, which are incomparable to those civilians.
Fang Shen Zhizi is related to Gu Technique and Head Lowering Technique, so it must come from a hereditary clan, not an obscure family.
The Japanese Imperial Family's selection of a concubine for the emperor is a very rigorous process, and there is always a detailed investigation of the family history of the inductees, and very few people can fool through the process.
The emperor and the princess are public figures, and gossip reporters around the world are eager to find out the flaws in their lives with a magnifying glass. Therefore, Fang Shen Zhizi's life experience can stand scrutiny.
My mind became confused, because on the one hand, I was sure of Fang Shen Zhizi's family background, and on the other hand, I suspected that she was related to the Miao Jiang Gu clan, which was very contradictory, and it was impossible for a beautiful woman to combine the two.
In Miaojiang and Nanyang, there is often a phenomenon that men are fascinated by beautiful women. Generally speaking. Lover's Gu, Duo*, Rouge Gu, Atrial Fall, Peach Blossom Drop, etc., will all achieve this effect, making one or several men go to the soup for the same beauty and be fascinated.
Judging from this photo, Fang Shenzhizi only painted light makeup, without deliberate disguise, and did not wrap himself layer by layer by various means like Jade Fox Zen, and the difference between before and after the disguise was very different.
"If it's not Gu magic and head lowering, what else would it be? Could it be that Fang Shen Zhizi can charm sentient beings with its own charm alone? I subconsciously shook my head, incredulous.
In World War II, the Miao Jiangqi people also stepped on the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance at the strong invitation of the government of the capital and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders.
These majestic stories have been recorded in history, and those Great Gu Cultivators who died in battle have also become glorious examples of safeguarding the dignity of the Chinese nation and defending the security of the Central Plains.
"It's moving, the people outside the door are moving!" Jade Fox Zen whispered.
Sure enough, the killing machine from that door was disappearing, and I tried my best to expand my sixth sense, but I couldn't feel the other person's presence.
"I'll go out on patrol, you stay here first." I say.
I have a gut feeling that the general has not given up his intention to break in.
"Okay, be careful." Jade Fox Zen advised.
I nodded silently, pushed away the swivel chair, and walked slowly towards the door.
The formation of a computer desk and a whiteboard is not necessarily able to stop the curved ruler from piercing the heart, and I know that when the flaws in feng shui are infinitely magnified, human abilities are already insignificant.
The word "Feng Shui" is all-encompassing.
Ancient wise men have studied these two words from generation to generation with their own strength, and written classics full of sweat and oxen, expounding their own life's gains, and warning future generations that they must pay attention to the composition characteristics of wind and water in the environment, so as to push the boat with the current, sail the boat with the wind, and never go against the wind and water.
I walked around my desk, taking every step I took, knowing that in a high-end thermal imaging device, even through a meter-thick concrete wall, the other party would be able to see my every move in the monitor.
When I looked at the whiteboard again, there were two lines of words on the originally empty board - the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.
Those are two sentences in the ancient text "Mulan Ci", which tells that real heroes can return triumphantly after the Great War, go through a hundred battles without dying, and all those who survive will become gangsters. A person like a general must have extremely high pursuits and is not willing to be a mediocre little person.
In imagination, the Yellow Flower Society is hierarchical, and people in each department have their own duties. Under the command of the general, there are countless people like Teacher Yan, who are difficult to survive the battle, and their lives are like dust and grass clippings, and they are not valued at all.
Even if they survive this time, they will be reduced to cannon fodder in the next war.
The rivers and lakes are so cruel, if you can't take off against the wind, then you will inevitably sink into the sand.
On the other hand, the same is true for me and Jade Fox Zen, when we wholeheartedly explore Kusanagi Kan's inner world, we will not forget that we are actually a small part of the war, although we can be alone at the critical moment, but in the great tide of the rivers and lakes, after all, it is just a flat boat, passing away with the wind.
Three steps from the door, I stopped calmly, pricked up my ears, and listened patiently.
It was quiet outside, no footsteps or breathing. It's just that I think killing opportunities are everywhere, as if the people of the Yellow Flower Society have penetrated into all corners of Dunhuang, large and small industries, and even the Mogao Grottoes Painting Troupe has not missed it, so is there no inner line of the Yellow Flower Society at the base of the mountain? No one dares to make this guarantee.
I know that Jade Fox Chan has been watching me from behind, and my every move will make her feel new worries.
When I put my hand on the spherical handle of the door, I took a deep breath before slowly turning it.
With a click, the door lock opened.
What will happen next, I can't predict.
