Chapter 9: Clever Plans
When is it coming?
Xu You can't say it well, but with He Wei's means, he will definitely let reinforcements appear in front of him at a moment that everyone didn't expect. Now the battle outside the city is in full swing, the four cities are under martial law, the people outside can't get in, the people inside can't get out, it's an exaggeration, even a bird flying over has to lose a few feathers, Xu You and An Yuxiu, two big people who don't know martial arts, can't escape at all.
Therefore, Liu Yan was very relieved, and because of the lack of troops, he only sent four guards to guard the city, and the others were transferred to defend the city to participate in the battle. In his opinion, with the garrison of Qiantang, even if the Great Grandmaster came in person, it would be impossible to rescue Xu You from the thousands of troops and horses, and it would be enough to leave four people!
An Yuxiu looked at Xu You expectantly, Xu You didn't speak, took the tea set, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at a picture of a big beast hanging on the wall. This is a painting by an unknown painter in the previous dynasty collected by Lu Hui, in which the paintings are all long-bodied beasts, with large chests and waists, muscles and strength, chasing each other, fighting each other, the painting style is simple and concise, but vivid, floating on the paper.
The door creaked open, and a tribal entered. This person is the most taciturn of the four trilogy, with an ordinary appearance and low status, and is often called by other people, so that Xu You still doesn't know his name, and he hasn't said a few words to him.
This person looked around, and was very conscientious and responsible, making sure that there were no sharp weapons, medicines, letters and other unknown objects in the room, and there was no difference from usual. After the routine inspection, he bowed down to say goodbye to Xu You, and suddenly asked, "What is Xu Langjun looking at?" ”
Xu You turned his head strangely and looked at the person in front of him, and after a while, there was a subtle smile in his eyes, and he said, "I'm looking at this painting, trying to distinguish its authenticity!" Then he asked, "What do you think I'm looking at?" ”
"Look at the world!"
He bowed his head respectfully and said, "I thought Lang Jun was looking at the world!" ”
Xu You finally laughed, the corners of his lips rose slightly, his eyes were clear and deep, gentle and hearty, reserved and a little mysterious.
Such as cutting, such as grinding!
These two lines of poetry suddenly appeared in An Yuxiu's mind, and it was the first time she saw Xu You smiling so happily, and her heart trembled slightly. Of course, this is not the heartbeat between men and women, but walking on the mountain trail, but accidentally finding that the scenery in the mountains is far more beautiful than imagined.
After spending a few days with this famous night and night, she seems to understand what a true gentleman is. In terms of appearance, An Yuxiu is very confident, and there are only a few famous ladies in the entire Chu State who can beat her; In terms of identity, except for a few royal families and top gate valves, there will be no more noble than the princess in the world. Appearance and identity are fused together, whether in Jinling or Yangzhou, there are almost no young people who see her who are not dazzled, but Xu You is the only exception in ten thousand.
It's not like some people who pretend to be posturing, but they secretly covet it behind their backs, and it's not like some people who are bold and small, who are obviously respectful, and turn their heads with the intention of snooping, and it's not like some despicable lucky people who are plotting to take advantage of people's danger and use the bargaining chips for their lives to blackmail her.
You must know that An Yuxiu grew up in the palace and married a disciple of the gate valve, what she saw, knew and heard, and the male thieves and prostitutes hidden under her graceful demeanor, I don't know how obscene and shameless they were. Of course, there are real gentlemen, but at Xu You's age, it is really commendable to be able to face such a female woman.
His eyes are always very clear, his tone of speech is never frivolous, there is no unruly behavior, but with a peaceful and indifferent way of getting along, people can't help but feel close and trusting, and Gu Pan always has a little bit of brightness, which brings wisps of spring breeze to the hard-working people who are trapped in this room and struggling to survive, so as not to be embarrassed and at a loss.
An Yuxiu has never met such a person, so she is a little curious and a little lucky!
I wonder why such a character was only known as a martial artist before; I am glad that such a person, encountered in difficult times, is finally a great luck in misfortune!
"You're right, this artist is good at using beasts as metaphors for people, fighting, devouring, or swarming, or monomorphic, trying his best to survive, even at the cost of killing his own kind, how similar is this to the human world? I'm looking at paintings, and I'm looking at the world! ”
"Understood, thank you Lang Jun for your advice!"
The man said no more and turned away. After about a quarter of an hour, Xu You opened the door, covered his stomach, and said, "I have a stomachache, I may have eaten a bad stomach, and I want to go to the toilet!" ”
Xu You's room is covered by a screen, since An Yuxiu came in, Xu You, in order to avoid suspicion, every time he goes to the toilet, he goes to the next room and shares it with the subordinates who guard him.
As soon as I heard that I had a bad stomach, I thought that I would have to fly straight away, and the smell was stinking, and everyone else showed reluctant expressions, and only the one who had just gone in to check said, "I'll go with Lang Jun!" ”
He has a low status, and he usually rushes to do dirty work, which makes it strange that no one will take the initiative to ask for help. The two walked into the room together, and as soon as he closed the door, his appearance changed slightly, but it was very different from the person who was just there, and he became a dark and ordinary appearance.
Speaking of which, whether this face is the true face of the shadow, Xu You is actually not sure, but the friendship between the two is important, and it doesn't matter what the face is.
"Lang Jun, tired of you falling into the hands of the enemy, it is my incompetent ......"
After secretly practicing the Blue Ghost Law, if he deliberately hid it, even the Great Grandmaster would rarely be able to see the change in his mood, but listening to the tone of his words, he clearly felt extremely regretful and remorseful for watching Xu You exchange his life for the safety of these people that night.
This is a feeling that I haven't felt in many years!
"There is no need to mention the past, if we miss a move, we have to suffer the consequences, and we can't blame anyone!" Xu You didn't ask how Dark Yao passed through the strict barrier and successfully infiltrated the county government, nor did he ask him how to steal the beams and change the pillars, but he actually pretended to be the troops of the Heavenly Master Army and appeared in front of him, and said directly: "What is the plan of its wings?"
"The original plan was for me to sneak in secretly, disguise Lang Jun as a part of the Heavenly Master Army, and escape from the south gate when the battle outside the city was at its most intense."
"South Gate?"
"Yes, Qiu Yuan made a plan to encircle the three gates and storm the north gate and the west gate, but ignored the south gate, in order to break the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Master army and urge them to withdraw from the south gate. Therefore, the south gate is still calm, there are about 500 people stationed, and when the battle at the north gate and west gate is tight, these 500 people will definitely be transferred away a large part, there should be a short period of chaos, no matter how tight the defense is, it will also show flaws, we can take the opportunity to go through the city, Zuo Langjun and Jing Zhen and others will respond outside! ”
Xu You groaned: "This was the original plan, but what about now?" Why the change? ”
"Because before I left, Zuo Langjun went to Wu County to find Gu Yun for help, and learned that the champion princess An Yuxiu also fell into the thief camp, and the Crouching Tiger Division and the Zhumen Lords of Wu County and other masters transferred from the military government were ready to join forces to come to the rescue. After that, I secretly sneaked into Qiantang, and found out that An Yuxiu happened to be trapped here, and after going out of the city to discuss with He Langjun, I decided to change my plan! ”
He paused, there was a little smile hidden in his eyes, and said: "He Langjun said, you are a great sage who comes out once in five hundred years, and you will never leave An Yuxiu alone, and only care about running for your own life......
Xu You sneered and said, "When will the dog's mouth with its wings be able to spit out ivory?" An Yuxiu's status is precious, if she is left behind, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. But if things really can't be done, An Yuxiu's life and death are not so important, after all, this is not my business alone, and you are born and died for me, the lesser of two evils, when it is time to give up, I will not put everyone in danger for the sake of irrelevant people! ”
"Sure enough, He Langjun knows Langjun's mind best!"
In his heart, he admired He Wei very much, or he was a little yearning for the tacit understanding between Xu You and He Wei that they could communicate without a word, and said: "Lang Jun's words, He Lang Jun said word for word. However, he expected Lang Jun to scold him for his dog's mouth, but he didn't expect to spit out ivory......"
Xu You sneered, secretly staying in Jingyuan for so long, he was unknowingly assimilated, and it was rare to say something bantering. However, this laughter seemed to arouse the suspicion of outsiders, and someone came and knocked on the door, "Are you okay?" ”
Dark Yao instantly changed back to his original appearance, and his voice changed accordingly, saying, "It's okay, Xu Langjun is telling me the articles in Zhuangzi......"
I can't even write my own name in this song, and I have never heard of Lao Tzu Zhuangzi in my life, so saying this made people outside dispel their suspicions, thinking that it was really Xu You who told him to know, so he scolded with a smile and said: "The stinky thing is going to die, you idiot still have the heart to listen to any article!" ”
The footsteps went away again, and Xu You and the dark Yao entered the screen, in order not to show the stuffing, even if they didn't mean it, they had to pull something out. Being in danger, the details do not have to be settled, and when Xu You's wide clothes are in a good posture, he secretly bends his fingers into the wind, and lightly touches the lower navel acupoint, and after a while, the belly thunders, it really flies straight down three thousand feet, and it turns out that it is not a book in the abdomen.
One person goes to the toilet, one person stands next to him, and the smell can penetrate the wind for ten miles, but both of them are as peaceful as ever, their faces are as usual, and this calmness is also serious.
"Will the plan be released?"
"From the winter solstice to Meng Xingchun to meet, tell them An Yuxiu's whereabouts, and then agree that two days later, the Fuzhou soldiers will launch a general attack, and the masters of the Crouching Tiger Division, Zhumen and the military government will take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, go straight to the county government, rescue An Yuxiu, and then go out of the city."
Xu You shook his head and said: "There may not be no masters and shadows of the Heavenly Master Dao in Qiantang City, such a blatant attack, whether it succeeds or not, the casualties must be extremely large!" ”
"In order to save a princess, no one will feel sorry for even how many people die, but it is a great credit!" Secretly stared at Xu You and said, "This is the biggest difference between those nobles in the imperial court and Lang Jun!" ”
Xu You only smiled bitterly, and suddenly lowered his voice, and said: "So we can't go with them, when An Yuxiu comes out of the county government, he will definitely be chased and intercepted by the Heavenly Master Dao, and Lang Jun and I will leave from the East Gate Waterway without realizing it." ”
Xu You's eyes lit up and said, "Clever plan!" ”
As for using An Yuxiu as bait, it is just pushing the boat down the river and taking advantage of the situation. The Crouching Tiger Division took the lead in saving people, and there were many masters in the gate valve, they would not listen to Xu You's advice and act, and it would be considered benevolent and righteous to protect this champion princess until now.
"In order to prevent Meng Xingchun from being aware in advance, and to make the people of the Heavenly Master Dao think that Lang Jun and An Yuxiu are together, Zuo Lang Jun will advance and retreat with them."
With one more little grandmaster, Meng Xingchun had the confidence to take An Yuxiu out safely with a frontal attack, and he could confuse the pursuers of the Heavenly Master Dao, and then Xu You had the opportunity to escape safely by water.
This plan is one ring after another, not only to deceive the enemy, but also to deceive teammates, just like walking a tightrope on a sword, the slightest negligence, will be doomed. But in the face of such an almost insoluble dead end, only He Wei can peel off the cocoon, break the game, and seek a glimmer of life for Xu You!
"The sting lurks at the East Gate Pier, and uses the pirate's unique water dragon to lure you and me away from the waterway!"
Xu You nodded and said: "The Heavenly Master Army thought that if there was a fighting ship, it would be able to block the waterway, and no matter how good the water nature was, it would be impossible to swim for ten miles without showing up and changing his breath, but he forgot that there was also a stealth god like the Water Dragon Lead!" ”
It is not enough to have a water dragon alone, and it is necessary to have the help of a water monkey like Shanzong who is proficient in water nature, in order to turn the most terrifying waterway in the eyes of the world into a living road.
"Then, what does Lang Jun think?"
"That's it!" Xu You said with a smile: "What's more, if you come in with a different identity, you can't change this person back, you can't get out, and you can't contact He Wei and them, so you can only act according to the predetermined plan." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "However, if I just do some simple dressing, I am afraid that people will recognize me......"
Dark Yao smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, Lang Jun, I have my own means to make you a completely different person, and there is no possibility of being recognized in the slightest!" ”
Xu You still had doubts in his heart, except for the strange and unpredictable exercises like the Green Ghost Law, could it be that there is really something in the world that can completely change the appearance? However, there is no doubt about employing people, just looking at the dark Yao risking great danger to sneak into the city, you know that he will not joke with the lives of the two.
The plan has been decided, Xu You put on his clothes, held his stomach and walked out of the door with the support of the dark, frowning and said, "My belly will not have an impact, right?" ”
"No, it's just a good night's rest!"
"That's good, don't pull me and I are trembling, and I don't even have the strength to stand up......"
When I returned to the room, I heard people outside asking, "What article did you listen to Xu Langjun?" Zhuangzi? ”
This article is funny, Zhuangzi said that the emperor of the South China Sea is a stun, the emperor of the North Sea is a sudden, and the emperor of the center is chaos. He often goes to the chaotic dwelling to drink and have fun, and the chaos is very thick. I suddenly felt moved and wanted to repay the favor, saying that all living beings in the world have seven tricks, which are used to see, hear, eat, and breathe, but the chaos has no tricks, which is really pitiful. So I discussed chiseling seven tricks for Chaos, chiseling a trick every day, and seven days later I had seven tricks, but I didn't expect that Chaos would die because of this! ”
"Hahaha, it's really funny!"
"Xu Langjun is really talented, and he even knows the affairs of such immortals......"
"You didn't look at Xu Langjun's appearance and demeanor, he is also a person among the immortals, so he naturally knows about the immortals!"
Xu You smiled dumbly, he was secretly anxious, otherwise he would really be asked something strange. The person who first questioned him was also the one who knocked on the door and became suspicious, and now that I think about it, all my doubts should be gone.
An Yuxiu was a little confused, she didn't understand what Xu You was laughing at, just because of the praise outside? And how could he have the leisure to talk about Zhuangzi's articles with these vulgar thieves, wouldn't it be insulting to the knowledge of the sages?
An Yuxiu tilted her head sideways, frowning slightly, looking at Xu You's face, but unconsciously forgot the shouting and killing outside the window, forgot the dignity of Jinling, the love of Shanyin, and forgot the fear and anxiety of the precarious future.
At this moment, in the light of her eyes, there is only Xu You's reflection!
