Chapter 50: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Speaking of the brothers who were killed or wounded, Lin Hao's expression suddenly dimmed, the loss of the Jiaomu Altar in this battle against the enemy was indeed too heavy.
"First the tailwater altar apostasy into the sea, then the master of the Jihuo altar was captured, this time the Jiaomu altar was hit hard by this, the entire Qinglong Hall has fallen apart, if you don't try to save it, I'm afraid that the deployment of the previous sect masters in the east will be in vain." Lin Hao sighed.
Sheng Wenyu also echoed on the side: "The mess in Qinglong Hall should have been cleaned up a long time ago. ”
Seeing that Lin Hao, who represented the conservatives, and Sheng Wenyu, who was a radical, had reached a rare consensus after this battle, Wen Xianzhong was naturally happy in his heart, and immediately agreed: "It's time to settle the Qinglong Hall rebellion, and when we return to the mountain, we can propose this matter to Sect Leader Li." ”
"You have a point, and I have what I mean."
Han Lingyue, who had arranged the aftermath, happened to hear the words of the three of them, and strode over to this side.
Lin Hao and Sheng Wenyu hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Han Lingyue signaled that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and said, "This battle forest altar master has worked hard and made great achievements, if it weren't for you and your disciples to drag the Yuan soldiers, we wouldn't have won so easily." ”
Lin Hao looked ashamed and replied: "If the credit should also belong to these brothers who died in battle, Lin Hao does not dare to take credit." ”
Han Lingyue knew that Jiaomutan had suffered heavy losses, so she didn't continue to say more, looked at Sheng Wenyu and said:
"Elder Sheng is also indispensable, winning more with less, and using soldiers like a god."
"The sect leader has won the award, and Sheng's methods are just a little trick." The arrogant Sheng Wenyu always seemed to be a different person when facing Han Lingyue, and became extremely humble.
Han Lingyue praised the merits of the two before re-mentioning the matter of Qinglong Hall, "The matter in the east is more tricky, it can't be solved by the general rudder's order, and the elite of the sect needs to be sent to help, and the decision will be made after understanding the reason." ”
"I don't know if the sect leader has any plans for the candidate, who will he send?" Sheng Wenyu asked tentatively.
"Elder Sheng doesn't need to be anxious, I already have a suitable candidate in my heart, this matter will be discussed after returning to the mountain, the most important thing at the moment is to close the mountain immediately, in case the Yuan soldiers come again."
"Yes."
The sect leader had already spoken, so Sheng Wenyu stopped being bored with himself, and went to the other side to pull Wen Xuan to chatter.
"Brother Wen, look...... My misunderstanding with your Wen family has been cleared up, right? ”
Facing Sheng Wenyu, who was hooking up with him, Wen Xuan felt a little funny, this guy is too positionless, right? Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to take revenge on yourself before?
Sheng Wenyu smiled and said: "It's not a secret, I've been in this shipwreck mountain for too long, and I want to go out for a walk." ”
"Then you can go out, while the mountain is not closed yet." Wen Xuan said strangely.
"Brother Wen, don't you know, as the chief helmsman, you can't go down the mountain easily, unless you ......," Sheng Wenyu said and cautiously aimed his gaze at Wen Xuan, revealing an extremely eager expression.
Wen Xuan said helplessly: "Unless what? If you have something to say, if I can help, I will definitely help. ”
"Brother Wen is really a man of temperament!" Sheng Wenyu seemed to have a flattering face, and said with a hopeful face: "Unless something big happens in the sect, the sect leader personally assigns me to be responsible." ”
Wen Xuan immediately understood what he meant, and asked, "Are you talking about going to the east to investigate the Qinglong Hall?" ”
"Not bad."
Wen Xuan wondered, "But what does this have to do with me?" Didn't the sect leader say that he already had the right person in mind? ”
Sheng Wenyu pretended to be esoteric and said: "I have followed Sect Leader Li since I entered the mountain, and I know the temper and temperament of Sect Leader quite well. ”
"Me?" Wen Xuan was a little surprised, he really hadn't thought about it.
Sheng Wenyu continued: "When you were down the mountain, you also saw that the radicals and conservatives in the sect have been grudging for a long time, not to mention a big thing like rushing to the Qinglong Hall, even a small matter like throwing a sesame seed is eager to fight, so whichever side of the sect leader Li assigns will definitely cause the other party to be dissatisfied." ”
"Wouldn't it be okay for both sides to send some people?"
Sheng Wenyu shook his head, "Then let me ask you, if you really encounter a disagreement, who will you listen to?" I'm afraid that before the thing is done, the people on both sides will fight among themselves first. ”
"I see." Wen Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.
"So the Wen family, which has always been in the middle and does not belong to any faction, has become the key, only the people of the Wen family are responsible for this matter so that it will not cause further intensification of the contradictions between the two sides, and the Wen Lao is already old, and you have been in the limelight in this battle, how can the sect leader not entrust you with a heavy responsibility?"
Wen Xuan had to admit that Sheng Wenyu's analysis was reasonable, and if the sect leader really ordered to send him to the east, his father would naturally be happy.
Wen Xuan asked rhetorically, "Although Elder Sheng is reasonable, he can't help but be too obsessed with going down the mountain, right?" ”
Sheng Wenyu put away his smile and said seriously: "As long as Brother Wen can help me go down the mountain, Sheng will be grateful in the future." ”
Although Wen Xuan was curious about the reason why he wanted to go down the mountain, he couldn't help but ask, and said softly: "Elder Sheng doesn't have to be so polite, if there is really a place where I can help you, I will do my best." ”
"Since this is the case, Sheng Mou thanked him in advance." Sheng Wenyu bowed slightly and bowed to Wen Xuan.
What a weird and funny guy...... However, if you really want to go to the east, you will inevitably have to deal with people from both factions, and instead of bringing a paranoid radical like Xu Nong, it is better to bring this interesting young Elder Sheng with you.
What's more, he really needs help, although Sheng Wenyu is a little small-minded, but he sees all the roles in this battle, and he is a rare leader.
In addition, if he had to leave to go down the mountain, Wen Xuan naturally hoped to have brothers like Mu Chong and Tie Niu by his side, but when he thought of Li Nanniang's matter, he felt a pain in his heart.
Alas, I don't know what happened to Mu Chong and Mu Ying......
Everyone waited for a stick of incense, and the impulsive radical elder withdrew in disgrace, and pleaded unhappily: "The old man is incompetent, he is not the opponent of those thieves, and he is willing to accept the punishment." ”
Only then did Han Lingyue say coldly: "As the chief helmsman, the elder does not focus on the overall situation, and does not listen to orders during the war, so let's go to the Ming King Cave for a month to reflect on it." ”
One month? The other elders present all took a deep breath of cold air, and although they knew that this punishment was somewhat severe, no one pleaded for him.
This Sect Leader Li has always been decisive in doing things, with clear rewards and punishments, and this trick is clearly to use the errant elder Liwei to suppress the arrogance of the radicals.
