Chapter 143: A plan within a plan

Chapter 143: The Calculation of the Scheme

Zhu Zongchen knew that he said these three words, and he would grind all the court routines, pretexts and excuses for risks and benefits that An Yi was looking for, and then agreed to a life-for-life deal with him without hesitation.

Because he knew that for the current comfort, there was nothing more weighty than the news that Liu Siyi was still alive, but he didn't expect that the person he wanted to get rid of in every possible way before would instead become the handle of the dangerous blade of comfort.

The heat of a cup of tea has not yet been steamed, and An Yi has already said goodbye, leaving only Zhu Zongchen alone, gently filtering the leaf residue on the tea lid, and tasting the fragrant tea in the porcelain cup.

"Take-sama can sleep peacefully now?"

Whether it is cold, summer, winter or summer, Mr. Zhu always holds the hollow fragrant wood folding fan in his hand, and turns out from behind the screen with a smile.

Zhu Zongchen slowly put down the teacup, looked out the door and said, "I didn't expect that the prefect like an old elm back then would have such a grandson, and the family is lucky." ”

There was some envy in his tone when he said this.

Mr. Zhu sat down at the head of Zhu Zongchen, and reminded him with some caution: "Boss, if you go here, you will definitely be able to collide with Ning'er, and when the time comes, this Ning'er will have to shake things off cleanly, with that comfortable temperament, it will not end well." ”

Zhu Zongchen listened to his words, but he didn't care, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, I have already been inquired, and the promotion will be there in three days!" At that time, even if he wants the old man's head, he will have to ask the emperor if he agrees. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded, Ning Er categorically refused to let Liu Siyi go easily, and the Wugu Sect is also a hundred-legged insect that dies without stiffness, and when the time comes, it will be another battle between the two armies, which will be more than one or twenty days to end, if according to what Zhu Zongchen said, when An Yi comes back, everyone else will already be in Wang Jingli.

However, there was one thing that the old man wondered. None of the people who were sent to the Five Grains Sect to preach the Faith have returned so far. If it was because the Liao soldiers were still excusable under the city, and now the siege has been lifted, why is there still no news? Moreover, Wu Yi has not written from me for many days. ”

Zhu Zongchen's brows were furrowed, his face was rarely full of worry, he could feel that during the time when the Liao people were besieging the city, there had begun to be a sense of powerlessness in the control of Ning Er and the Five Grain Sect, and on the other hand, Ning Er was taking the Five Grain Sect to start out of the control of Zhu Zongchen.

Mr. Zhu pondered for a while, and then responded: "I'm afraid that Ning'er over there in Dazhai is going to take action, but there is Wu Yi inside, and this comfort outside will immediately surround it with a large army, and a female stream can't set off any waves." ”

After listening to this, Zhu Zongchen nodded slowly for a while, but the worry between his eyebrows did not fade in the slightest...........

late at night

Wugu Sect Dazhai

Deadhead Cliff

The Broken Head Cliff is a training ground for cavalry in the Wugu Sect Village, not far from the Taiping Hall, it is roughly a depression with a Yongdao cut on the surrounding rock wall, and there is a tiger's head gate at the exit of each end of the depression, which is hoisted high with an iron chain as thick as an arm. The heavy cavalry, which charged at full speed and swallowed mountains and rivers, was trained in this.

The Dharma Protector God Ning'er had already announced to everyone the matter of going to Wusun Country in the Western Regions that she had discussed with Niupari a day ago, and she didn't force it, those who were willing to leave gathered and set off today, and those who didn't want to leave would take a few taels of silver and leave.

However, judging from the number of sect members gathered today, most of them are still willing to follow Ning Er to the Western Regions.

In fact, I want to know that most of these people are desperate before they fall into the grass, which is not tolerated by the township, the court, and even the world. Many of them are not good enough to be punished by the magistrate of the county, it is better to follow Ning Er to the Western Regions, I heard that many Han people who do business where have made a fortune, and it is better to try their luck than to wait here for death.

But

Of course, there are alternatives, those who don't want to leave and won't be arrested by the court to settle accounts, that is, Wu Yi.

It has been a long time since Wu Yi joined the Five Grains Sect, he was brought into the sect by Ning'er and then pulled it up with one hand, everyone in the sect knew that Wu Yi was Ning'er's person, just like Zhang Yu was labeled as Liu Siyi.

It's just that this Wu Yi is really a Liu Adou who can't support the wall, he can't lead the soldiers, he can't take the martial arts, except for a mouth that can speak like honey, he is really useless.

It was precisely because of this that Ning Er promoted Feng Jiao to the hall master, and it was not until Feng Jiao was killed for comfort that Wu Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, was vacant.

really

Wu Yi was very unexpected, and in the first battle, he was defeated and retreated by nearly 5,000 men and horses in the Qingchuan River, but he should also carry it a little, he had no military command talent, and he also met the little prince Yelu Xiuke.

However, Wu Yi doesn't have many serious methods, but his ability to change the court is self-taught.

The scheming Zhu Zongchen's eyes were as sharp as a falcon to find this "usable person", Wu Yi, who had a grudge against Ning Er for promoting him to be the hall master in the end, did not hesitate to change the flag and make the eyes of the Zhu Zongchen after the black yarn of the foreign lang of the official and the fifty thousand taels of silver.

Of course, Zhu Zongchen is not a master who throws money out for nothing, the most important thing is that through Wu Yi, he regained control of the heavy cavalry from Feng Jiao and Ning Er, and always monitored the movements of the Five Grain Sect and the Dharma Protector God Ning Er.

It's just that the old fox also has times when this horse stumbles.

"Hall Master, why hasn't there been any movement until now? Didn't you say that you set off when you were a child? It's all over now, right? ”

In the cliff of the broken head, Wu Yi and the more than 4,000 heavy cavalry waited quietly here according to Ning Er's decree, just waiting for the signal of the Dharma Protector God to urge the horse's hooves to follow the large army to the west.

Wu Yi looked at the tiger's head gate in front of and behind the guillotine cliff, and glanced at the road on the rock wall, but there was no figure, and he also muttered in his heart, saying in his heart, is there something delayed in this Ning'er? Or is there a change in plans?

"Hall Master, when are we going to do it?" A horseman on a horse next to him asked,

Wu Yi hurriedly made a silent gesture towards him, and shouted in a low voice: "Damn, don't die? Why are you so loud? ”

Then he looked around vigilantly again, and after confirming that it was still a dead silence, he leaned over and whispered to the cavalry around him: "We have few people, don't act rashly, I have already seen Ning'er's road map, they will pass along the border of Lintao Mansion, the nearest one is less than thirty miles away from the pass of the Liao.

When the march arrives at that place, you see my signal incident, and the cavalry of the Liao people will definitely notice it at that time, let's leave it alone, just run south with all our strength, and let the Liao people clean it up, I will ensure that none of them can escape! ”

"Yes! Yes! The Liao people are fierce and abnormal, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless to have a large number of people in the Wugu Sect,"

"Hall Master, I heard that Lord Zhu promised you to be an official after you succeeded? Don't forget the little ones. ”

Wu Yi smiled proudly, pressed his hand at them and said: "Oh, it's easy to say, when the time comes, the master will also buy a mansion, hang the plaque of the Wu Mansion, and have a good time getting over the addiction of the official master." A few of you, as long as you follow me, you will inevitably get an official hat for you to do. ”

It seemed that now he had put on the black gauze hat of the foreigner and sat in the hall of the official department.

Just as they were talking, two sect members holding torches came from the top of the corridor and shouted to Wu Yilang in the guillotine cliff, "Is Hall Master Wu here?" ”

Wu Yi looked up when he heard the sound, and vaguely recognized that it seemed to be the two people beside Ning Er, so he responded: "It's Wu Yi down there, I don't know if the Dharma Protector God has something to look for me?" ”

The two sect members waved their torches at him, representing a nod, and shouted, "There is a change in the itinerary, and the Dharma Protector God asks the Lord of Wu Hall to go to the Taiping Hall to discuss quickly." ”

After listening to the words of these two sect members, Wu Yi raised his eyebrows,

It stands to reason that Ning Er said that the situation had changed, and there was nothing wrong with asking him to discuss, but he always felt that something was wrong, and just now he was thinking about whether the plan had changed, and the two of them came immediately, is it so coincidental?

Just when he was hesitating, the two people on the road urged him again: "Hall Master hurry up, Ning Fashen is in a hurry to see you." ”

"Hall Master, be careful of deception."

The cavalryman next to him who asked him just now looked at the two people holding torches on the road, and reminded Wu Yi in a low voice.

Wu Yi is also worried about Ning'er, a ruthless woman, don't want to put herself together before leaving, but she can't be sure, if there is really a change in the plan, wouldn't it be a big deal for Lord Zhu to start an incident in advance?

He looked at the cavalry next to him, rolled his eyes, and ordered him with a thoughtful eye: "In this way, no matter what, we can't come nonsense now, I still have to go to see her." But you continue to wait here, I have a ringing arrow on my body, once you hear the arrow, don't worry about me immediately rush out of Dazhai, let's do something in advance! ”

"And what do you do?"

"Humph!"

Wu Yi snorted coldly,

Then he said disapprerovingly: "Although that girl has two hits, but I insist on running, I may not be able to keep me, you will wait for me outside at that time, our four thousand cavalry will go outside and start a fight, and if you don't die, you will peel off a layer of skin!" ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”

After Wu Yi finished speaking, he raised his head and shouted to the two people on the road: "Lao Jia replied to the Dharma Protector God, and I will go here." ”

With that, he urged the brown war horse under his crotch to go in the direction of the Taiping Hall.

When Wu Yi walked into the Taiping Hall, Ning'er still only left him with a back, maintaining the appearance of praying with his hands folded towards the statue of the god of grains.

He looked around vigilantly, and found that there were only two sentry posts standing at the door, and there was no one else in the hall, so he strode to the front of the steps with confidence to salute: "Meet the Dharma Protector, I don't know why the Dharma Protector God hurriedly came down." ”

When Ning Er heard the sound and knew that it was Wu Yi who had arrived, she turned around with a smile and pointed to the stone chair next to her,

"Hall Master Wu, sit down, the main reason for coming to you this time is to discuss our route to the Western Regions."

Wu Yi sat on the stone chair, rolled his eyes, and responded with a dry smile: "Dharma Protector, you have decided, tell me to carry it out below, how can I have any idea." ”

"Don't say that, Hall Master Wu, you are also the master of the hall, but you still have to give advice to the sect members, right?"

"The Dharma Protector is serious, I was brought into the sect by you, you know me best, where do you know what strategy."

After Wu Yi said this, when he looked at Ning Er again, he felt a touch of coldness on her smiling face,

Did you say something wrong?

He was pondering what he had just said, but Ning Er said coldly: "It's not easy, Hall Master Wu can still remember that I brought you in." ”

Wu Yi felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and his hand subconsciously touched the arrow on his waist, but his face was still quietly smiling: "How dare you forget, dare not forget, the grace of the Lord Protector God must be remembered." ”

"Don't dare to be it, I'm just a grass coward below, how dare I have a relationship with you, don't you say? Outsider-sama? ”

Who doesn't understand this?

Wu Yi stood up "ho", looked at Ning'er with a frosty face, and moved lightly, preparing to rush out of the hall once the ambush was around.

However, Ning Er didn't seem to throw a cup as he thought and then the knife and axe came out together, he looked around and the Taiping Hall was still quiet, but the two sentry posts at the door were gone.

"You know what, it's come to this, do you think you can stop me?"

Wu Yi stared at Ning Er deadly, step by step back down the steps, the sound arrow was already tightly held in his hand, he knew that Ning Er's harrier turned over and made the furnace perfect, he was afraid that as soon as he turned around, Ning Er would pierce himself with this long sword, so he needed to determine a safe distance before turning around and rushing out of the Taiping Hall.

"Is Hall Master Wu in such a hurry to leave?"

Wu Yi felt that he suddenly remembered a sound of killing intent Ling Ran's Youlan behind him, and the hairs behind him all stood up like pins and needles.

"Who!"

He turned sharply and saw a petite and delicate woman standing behind him.

Rao didn't recognize the plain striped skirt, and he also recognized the Ling Xuan blade in her hand that emitted a faint blue cold light.

"Liu Siyi!!"
