Volume 1 Chapter 8 Tempting the Enemy
Qingcheng Yun's family is built by the mountain, and the mountain gate is also built in the gap between the two mountains, surrounded by cliffs. It can be said that one husband is in charge, and ten thousand people are not open, which is also one of the reasons why the Lunatic Sect does not dare to provoke the Yun clan easily. At the beginning of the day, it was the time when the guards were handed over, and now it was an extraordinary period, so the guards added guards and people, and the guards were changed every hour, and five people were in a shift.
The five people who came to change the guard walked to the mountain gate, greeted the guards who were on duty, the two shifts exchanged places, and the five people who changed off work walked back to the rest area to rest.
Seeing that the five people were gone, the five people who came to change shifts immediately tore off the camouflage and disguise on their bodies, and inside they were wearing black night clothes, and ran quickly down the mountain. In the night, five black shadows were like five black smoke, blending into this pitch black.
The man in black was rushing forward, at this time, a signal fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the five people around a piece, all five people were startled, more than a dozen cold lights with more than a dozen white figures, like arrows off the string, rushed towards them, the five people hurriedly gathered the formation and calmly responded. The two sides immediately became a mess, the man in white won in the crowd, and the man in black won in martial arts slightly better than the man in white. The two sides were at a stalemate at this time.
Although there is a mountain gate here, after all, it is still within the range of the Qingcheng Yun Clan, and the man in black is worried that it will drag on for a long time, and he will not be able to get out if he is found by the people on the mountain to support. So the five of them exchanged glances tacitly, and four of them seemed to be desperate, and they didn't care how many swords they were hit. The sword array formed by the man in white immediately became a mess, and they tore out a gap, and at this time, the fifth man in black passed through it, and he also fought a few swords regardless of it, and finally reluctantly broke out of the encirclement. His light skills were the best of all, and he disappeared after only a few ups and downs. The men in white were desperately entangled by the remaining four men in black, and it was too late for them to chase after them killed the four of them.
The man in white at the head was the young man named Jing Xuan, who stomped his feet angrily and returned to the mountain with a dozen other people, leaving only the four bodies of the men in black gradually cooling in the night, and no one would remember them soon.
Qingcheng Yun Clan's Council Hall is located on the fourth floor, which is a place for high-level disciples, elders and heads of the Qingcheng Yun Clan, although the room is smaller than the Fengyun Clan Hall, it is private and safe enough, and it is not easy for people to overhear the conversations of the people in it.
The people in the room at this time were Yun Xi, Yun Xu, Mo Qianya, Mo Yan and representatives of the other three families of the four great families. Tang Xuan and Tang Yu, the heads of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong. Cui Wanjun, the head of the Wuyi Cui clan, and the head of the government are also his wife Yao Ruohua, although Cui Wanjun's martial arts are superb, and there are few opponents for a thunder splitting knife, but he is an extremely fearful person, and he has to take his wife with him wherever he goes. And his wife Yao Ruohua was also a famous beauty, even at this time, she was still charming when she was over forty years old. The last two are Qi Jinjiang, the head of Jianghuai Qishi, and Qi Pingze, who is in charge. Although in terms of martial arts, the Jianghuai Qi clan is the weakest, but because it is located in the land of Jianghuai where waterways are intertwined, a large part of the affairs of Cao Yun are in charge of them. Therefore, there are a large number of people in their sect, and they have the largest number of disciples among all families, so they are also among the four great families.
Everyone was sitting in the seats around the hall, everyone's faces were very solemn, and at this time, Jing Xuan was reporting to them about the situation of surrounding the man in black. After speaking, Jing Xuan knelt down in annoyance, "The master is incompetent and didn't intercept them, please ask the master to confess." "I fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up.
"What should I do? If we escape, our plans must have been leaked, so are we going to break the formation tonight? After all, Tang Yu is young and the most uncomposed.
"What do you think, Mr. Mo? You were also surprised by the ambush at the beginning, but now you ...... "Yun Xi is a gentleman after all, and it is difficult to say something unpleasant, but everyone understands the implication, since they know that they have mixed in with the spies, and they also know that the spies are going to escape and report the news, why don't you send more people or send some masters, so that they can be intercepted." But at that time, Mo Yan was very determined to let these people intercept it, although Yun Xi didn't understand, but because he trusted Tianjimen, he also saw that Mo Qianya's face was not blocked, but now the most worrying situation has appeared, the traitor escaped to report the news, and all the previous layouts fell short. If people are prepared, it is still a sneak attack, and it is Mo Yan who caused this situation.
Everyone looked at him in unison, wanting to see what explanation he had and what he would do.
Mo Yan was not in a hurry to explain, but asked first, "Jing Xuan, are you sure that the person who escaped will not die on the road, and there is no time to report the news." ”
"Yes. Although he was hit by several arrows, he avoided the vital points and had no problem holding out for a few hours. Jing Xuan lowered his head and said, he only hated himself for not being good at learning, and he couldn't pierce his heart with one arrow, if he was the uncle Yun Xu, these five people were not enough for him to clean up alone, how could he let him escape.
"What do you think, how should we deal with it?" Mo Yan asked everyone present.
"They must strengthen their defenses in the Flame Array, waiting for us to break in and wipe us out, why don't we consider attacking the Ice Array?" Tang San said positively.
"I agree, I can't attack the Flame Array anymore anyway, that's almost like looking for death." Although Cui Wanjun is the head of a family, he has a fiery temper and does not vomit unpleasantly.
Everyone nodded one after another, but Yunxu still looked like he didn't care about himself, still staring down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then you mean to change your plan and break the ice first?" Mo Yan raised his eyebrows, "Second Master Yun, what do you mean?" ”
"Still attacking the Flame Array." The voice was calm and the tone was gentle, just like saying that today's meal was quite palatable, without stirring up a trace of waves, and Yun Xu didn't even raise his eyes when he said this.
"What? This ......" Tang San was so anxious that he almost jumped up, among these people, only he, Yun Xu and Mo Yan were going to really attack the formation, and if they wanted to die, they would die first, he hadn't lived enough.
"Heh, don't worry, don't worry, listen to me." Mo Yan took a sip of tea unhurriedly before continuing, "Actually, I deliberately let that person go, as Sect Master Yun said, if you really want to rob and kill them, why would you only send Jingxuan and their children?" Mo Yan, the word child, said it confidently, and he didn't look at how much older he was than Jing Xuan and them, and everyone had no time to care about his words at this time.
"You mean deliberately let him ventilate, isn't that different? If they don't hurry up and set up in the Flame Array when they get the letter, why don't we go and die? Tang San interjected.
"No, you're wrong. They know that the traitor broke through the siege and went back, which means that he has been exposed, and since it has been exposed, then we will definitely not implement the original plan again, and we will definitely change the plan and attack the ice array instead. They decided that we would definitely not carry out the original plan, and they were also afraid that we would act in advance if we knew about the traitor, and now they would transfer people from the Zhuxian Array to the Cold Ice Array, at least at dawn, they didn't dare to bet, so they could only transfer people from the nearest Flame Array, so ......" Mo Yan hadn't finished speaking.
"In this way, the number of people defending the Flame Array has not only not increased, but has decreased, and our chances of victory will be higher." Tang Shan was a little excited, and his eyes seemed to be shining. "That's what you said earlier, the loophole, the opportunity?"
"Yes, I'm just using their moles to create opportunities for us." A sneer appeared on Mo Yan's face, "Give back to the other in his own way." ”
When everyone saw his expression, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and said in their hearts: But don't offend this little Mr. Mo, you really will clean up your calculated basin in minutes, and there is nothing left!
"Mr. Mo is so strategic, Yun was rude just now!" Yun Xi only realized at this time that it was all Mo Yan's layout, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly apologized for what he said just now, he really deserved to be a humble gentleman.
"Sect Master Yun is polite, haven't Mo Yan's little cleverness still not deceived Second Master Yun?" Mo Yan saw that Yun Xu was looking at him, squeezed his eyes at him, and gave him a thumbs up, and his small actions were directly ignored by others, so he couldn't help but touch his nose and smile self-deprecatingly.
Everyone looked at Yun Xu and saw that he still had a faint detached expression, as if nothing could arouse a trace of waves on his face, but as if he could see through everything, Mo Yan even kept them in the dark. was broken by his words, and his whole person seemed to be hidden in the fog, making it unclear and unfathomable.
The plan remains the same, it is still the sub-hour to gather at the martial arts arena, and now there is still half an hour left in the ion time. There was no one around the Moon Pavilion, Mo Yan stood in the pavilion, holding his hands, looking at the bright moon in the sky, listening to the rustle of the leaves blown by the breeze, everything seemed to be very calm. A few more people know that there will soon be a bloody storm, and a few more people will be able to see such a peaceful night sky tomorrow night. He was a little stupid.
A steady but firm footsteps, as if they would always be so calm and indifferent, from far to near, the person who came deliberately did not hide his footsteps, as if he just wanted him to hear. "Yunxu, you're here." Mo Yan didn't turn around, his posture didn't change, and he said lightly, as if he knew he would come.
"You're lying." Although the words are sharp, the tone is not half reproachful, just telling one thing.
Mo Yan turned around and looked at Yun Xu calmly, as if he wanted to see something from his indifferent eyes, Yun Xu didn't dodge, just let him look straight at him, and he looked at him so calmly, the two seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and their eyes were glued to each other.
After a while, Mo Yan retracted his gaze first, there was no way, it was not enough to cultivate himself compared to the iceberg. Ran smiled, "Second Master Yun, why do you say that?" ”
"The guards of the Flame Array will not decrease, maybe they will increase." Yun Xu said lightly.
"I really can't hide anything from you, so why didn't you expose me at that time?" Mo Yan leaned lazily on the pillar of the gazebo.
"I want to hear your reasoning." The implication is that if Mo Yan can't give a reasonable explanation, he will stop him.
Mo Yan exhaled a long breath, "You don't believe me? Yun Xu still looked at him lightly, noncommittal. There was silence for a moment, "You are right, the other party will not reduce the guards of the Flame Array, and even increase them, because they are not stupid, the master of the Qingcheng Yun clan is like a cloud, if you find that there is a traitor, why only send a few juniors to intercept it?" This clearly shows that they deliberately want to release people back to report the news, and the result of the report is to make them mistakenly think that we are going to attack the Ice Array, so not only will they not transfer away the guards of the Fire Array, but they will also increase. ”
"Then why do you ...... Don't......? Yun Xu's lips moved, but the words behind him were not spoken, and a trace of entanglement flashed in his indifferent eyes.
"Yun Er Gongzi is so imaginative, he thought that I would help the Lunatic Sect plan so much and send everyone to death?" Although Mo Yan smiled brightly, he couldn't hide the bitterness at the corner of his lips, "Second Master Yun looks at me like this? ”
"I'm ......" Yun Xu's rare gaze looked unnatural.
"Heh, don't mind the second son of Yun, you will suspect that I am normal, we have known each other for less than two days, and I have caused you to lose face again and again......"
"It's not because of these, it's just that I can't guess your scheming and can't see clearly, so I want to ask clearly." Yun Xu said so many words in a hurry, and his tone was short, his usual calmness and calmness were completely gone, not only Mo Yan was stunned, but even he himself was taken aback, once upon a time, there were people he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't read.
"Huh!" Mo Yan chuckled, I have to say that the previous Yun Xu was like a high immortal. Although it is beautiful, it can only be watched and not touched. At this time, although Yun Xu still had the appearance of a celestial person, he had a little more human touch. His eyes became brighter because of eagerness, as if the starlight in the sky had fallen into his eyes, and Mo Yan, who was shaking, couldn't open his eyes a little, and he really wanted to just keep looking at it and sink into this star.
Qiang retracted his mind and looked away, afraid that his eyes would disturb his thoughts again, "I actually did this for everyone's morale, and I calculated that even if the Flame Array increased its troops, it would not increase much. Because although they calculated that we might carry out the original plan, they couldn't be sure if we really wouldn't attack the Ice Formation, the Flame Array, like the Ice Array, was too far away from the main peak Zhuxian Array, and they could only transfer troops from the Ice Formation, and they weren't sure of our intentions, just in case, the best way was for the original soldiers not to move, and to strengthen their vigilance, so the matter of the traitor had no practical meaning to them. And for us it is of great benefit. Everyone was originally lacking in confidence, but now that they know that the guards of the Flame Array have decreased, it is a good opportunity, and their confidence will definitely increase, and the brave are invincible, which is more effective than I said, this time I can make it clear? ”
"But if they are prepared in advance, how can we sneak attack?" Yun Xu's mind is extremely sensitive and he does not let go of any mistakes and omissions.
Mo Yan nodded as if appreciative, "I have been prepared for this for a long time, and I will know when the time comes." ”
In front of the council hall, the two of them were dressed in white and snow, the mountain breeze was blowing, and their clothes were flying, like fairies. It was Yun Xi and Yun Xu. The two brothers stood here just in time to see the martial arts arena, and it was almost time at this time, and people came to gather on the field one after another.
"Second brother, can you ask?"
"Hmm!"
"Suspicious?"
“……”
Yun Xi saw that Yun Xu didn't answer, and looked at him sideways. Yun Xu seemed to come back to his senses, "It doesn't sound like it. ”
Yun Xi nodded slightly, "Mo Yan's scheming is unfathomable, and his actions are often unexpected, if his heart is not right, it will be a big disaster for martial arts, so if you find anything wrong with this trip......" He didn't continue.
Yun Xu seemed to be stagnant and nodded, "Hmm! "Yes.
"Can't you do it?" Yun Xi looked at Yun Xu's eyes and seemed to see something in them.
"How so!" There was a faint annoyance in Yun Xu's tone.
"No one has ever made you so ...... in so many years I care! ”
"Where?"
"Didn't you? Angry, but helpless, extremely annoyed, but he doesn't want to be an enemy of him...... "Yun Xi seems to be determined to expose this younger brother who is always like water.
"It's time!" Interrupting Yun Xi's words, this was something that had never been done before. Yun Xu didn't want to continue the topic, turned around and left, his steps were a little hurried, not as calm as usual.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Xu's distant back, and a smile rose to the corner of her lips. seemed to be saying to the air, "Mo Yan, I hope you are a friend or an enemy, don't let him down." ”
