Chapter 327: The Stalemate of the Master
And I don't like it.
He could feel that the situation outside was like a game of chess, with an invisible black hand moving the pieces, and their side could only react passively.
In playing Go, the most painful thing is to be dragged by the opponent to passively respond, if the chess can only be played like this, it is basically the initiative to admit defeat.
However, the chess piece does not know that he is a chess piece, and can only respond to the opponent's chess moves.
Besides, he had no intention of drinking, he was guessing who was playing such a big game of chess, and he was playing many masters and several forces as pawns.
His feeling is also a metaphor, that person may not know how to play chess at all, or even know about Go as a form of entertainment. But this person's plan is indeed like playing Go, and it is still a very advanced method.
This person is good at the whole layout, not to finish the move in every place, but to keep all the variations, and now the opponent's move is to gather momentum, trying to lure out all the people on his side, and then a big dragon eats them all. Whether that was the case or not he didn't know, but he really felt that way.
The last time there were more than 20 corpses on the street in the capital, it was obviously this kind of trick, and I thought that the opponent must have some other tricks, but the opponent stopped working, or gave up starting here, but turned to another place.
Since then, he has been waiting for the mysterious opponent to make a move, but he has not waited until the opponent has died down, as if he knows that someone is waiting for him. This is definitely a master's style of play, being able to guess the opponent's thoughts, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is tired and disturbs.
Sure enough, the mysterious opponent began to make moves again at this critical moment, and it was such a ferocious and insidious move.
Besides, he doesn't like this kind of play, but he likes his opponent to finish playing chess in each part, really with a real knife and a gun, and it is clean. Just like Zuo Ling met the shopkeeper who refused to deliver the goods, he requisitioned it directly without saying a word. On that street, too, he gave the direct order to attack.
Could it be that it is precisely because his approach is more direct and violent that the opponent has changed his strategy? Switched to a roundabout tactic?
"What's wrong, what are you thinking?" Jun asked.
"I didn't think about anything, we were trapped, and we were used as bait to catch people outside." Besides.
"What? Are we bait? Who has such guts. Zhuo Maolin didn't believe it.
He is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, he is nothing in the capital, but outside, no matter where he is, no one does not sell him a little affection, even in Datong, he also has a lot of power.
At this moment, his people were still waiting outside for his orders, the big dragon head was here, there were too many unknown people outside, and his subordinates were of course worried, afraid that this was aimed at their salt gang.
"I can't guess who it is." Besides, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If there really is a person like you said, it must be White Lotus Sect Leader Zhao Quan." Zhou Dingcheng thought about it.
"It's not him, this person has counted the White Lotus Sect as well." And it's very straightforward.
"In addition to Zhao Quan and Zhao Great Sect Master, there are still such powerful people in the world?"
Besides, he shook his head, if it was the Great Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect, he wouldn't be so worried, at least he knew who the opponent was, but now the situation outside was like a pot of porridge.
He thought that Murong Yanran informed him that the enemy and me outside were a little unclear, and he was even more worried, which showed that there was a third party or even a fourth party intervening.
The question is what do these people want?
If you want his life not to be so troublesome, it is not that his life is so easy to take, but that there are many means against a person, and among all the means, only the most direct and simple means are the most effective, and this is obviously not the case in the current situation.
What to do? How to break the game?
And then he fell into deep thought.
There was nothing unusual on the surface outside at this time, and even the street vendors did not feel anything unusual, although there were many more tourists at once, and many people looked at the stalls casually, asking for prices from time to time, and even bargaining to buy some. In the eyes of these vendors, business has suddenly improved a lot, indicating that there is good fortune today, which is also a normal phenomenon.
Business is like this, there are times when it is booming and there are times when it is cold, so no one thinks there is anything abnormal about it.
Murong Yanran was in a cold sweat at this time, how many years had she traveled from south to north, she had met many masters, and it was the first time she had encountered such a complicated situation.
If it weren't for protection, she wouldn't care, although there are many masters here, if their master and apprentice want to leave, no one can stop them, the problem is that they can't leave at all.
"Master, what are you waiting for, just pull that kid out and leave quickly." Jiuniang is even more anxious.
"Wait a minute, this situation is not right, several forces don't seem to be coming at Childe. He's safer inside, it's dangerous to come out now. Murong Yanran said.
"Why didn't you come for him, but if it was for us, it would be better." Jiuniang muttered.
Murong Yanran nodded, Jiu Niang's words are also right, these people are indeed here for the situation, but now under the mutual containment, it is no longer a question of the situation, but a question of whether and how everyone will quit.
She gradually realized that someone had deliberately woven a spider web around the situation, and these masters were all here for the situation, although the purpose was different, but they were all trapped in this web and could not extricate themselves.
Their master and apprentice can't give up and go, and everyone else is unwilling or unable to get out of this net for various reasons. Under the wrestling of several forces, things have changed dramatically, and now no one has the ability to contact the central character of this net, besides, they have to guard against each other and protect themselves first.
"Let's go."
Inside the tavern, besides, he couldn't sit still, he got up and decided to go out and take the initiative to break the game, which may be a huge risk, but it was a strange move.
"Let's go, stay close to me, and don't stay three steps away from me." Jun also stood up and said.
The rest of the people were all neat and tidy people, and none of them had a word, and they all stood up and began to walk out.
Besides, he didn't forget to go to the counter to check out, and then pointed to the unfinished wine in the six jars and said, "On these lockers, we will drink them again tomorrow." ”
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, he didn't understand what was going on, but the guests ran away like mice, and of course he panicked, although no one left without paying, his heart was still full of fear.
Ji Chang led a guard to walk out first, followed by two guards, Zhou Dingcheng and Xiaojun were protecting him on the left and right, and Zhuo Maolin was also close behind.
In the courtyard, the apricot blossoms are still blooming, and the branches are gently swaying, and there is no tension at all.
After walking out of the courtyard, there is the deep alley, and at the end is a dead end, but besides, if you decide to break the game from here, if you walk out of the entrance, you will fall into the pace of others.
"Jumping off the wall?" Zhuo Maolin was a little surprised.
According to his thoughts, walking out of the entrance, even the danger can be dealt with, he has a lot of subordinates outside to respond, and of course there are more powerful reinforcements outside, but over this wall that is not too high, who knows if there is an ambush behind?
He didn't know, but Jun knew that one of Jun's special abilities was that he could see through walls and other obstacles.
"No one expected it from here. There was no one behind the wall. Xiao Jun also agreed.
"But if someone finds out, we're really trapped." Zhuo Maolin was a little worried.
If you are found after climbing over the wall, it is better to stay in the tavern without moving, after all, there is still room for maneuver in the tavern, and there are even multiple ways to retreat.
"Just get out of here." Besides, he said resolutely.
"Okay, listen to you." Zhuo Maolin didn't say anything more.
Ji Chang first stepped on the shoulders of a guard and went up to the wall, and then pulled a guard over it.
Then he was carried up the wall by two guards, and on the other side, Ji Chang and the two followed him.
Zhou Dingcheng and Xiaojun didn't bother at all, and they just jumped over. Zhuo Maolin's eyes were a little straight, although he also had some kung fu, but he was not so tall, so he had to press on the shoulder of a guard, and jumped on the wall with his strength.
The two guards then followed Ji Chang's approach, first stepping on the shoulders of the other person, and then pulling this person.
In a moment, all eight of them reached the other side of the wall, and saw a street in front of them.
There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and it wasn't clear if there were any rivals in the mix.
"Let's go." Besides, I felt relaxed all of a sudden.
Eight people walked up the street, with Zhuo Maolin as a guide, and began to walk forward.
"That's it?" Jun felt a little incredible.
Of course, he also knew about the situation outside, and it felt like a mess, and it was difficult to get rid of it cleanly, but he didn't expect that they would easily jump out of this game by letting them climb over a wall.
Besides, it was also a bit of a surprise, he didn't expect it to be so easy, could it be that the opponent didn't expect this wall? Or do you take it for granted that this is a blind spot, and that anyone will naturally want to get out of the exit without jumping over the wall?
Or do the setters think they are too cautious and too desperate to risk jumping over this wall?
"It's not over, or maybe that's what the opponent meant in the first place." Besides, he groaned.
"That's what it means? What do you mean? Jun asked.
"It's about keeping the change. Originally, if we stayed inside, the situation outside would be eased little by little, and finally we could get out of trouble. It's just that there will be a lot of changes in between, and I don't know what it will be, but it may be what the person who set up the bureau wants to see. Now we can at most reduce this process, and we can't make him get his wish. ”
"You're saying someone wants to take this opportunity to get people out there to kill each other?" Zhuo Maolin asked in surprise.
"I don't know if that's what it means, but as long as the situation continues, it's inevitable, and I can't guess what that person is thinking now." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
"Who has such a big appetite and is not afraid of dying, not afraid of breaking his teeth?" Zhuo Maolin couldn't believe that there could be such a bold person.
