Chapter 228: Harnessing the Mind
It was very quiet in the stretching Falling Sword Mountain, and there was no longer the sound of shouting and killing before.
But the more serene it is, the more chilling it becomes. At the entrance of the mountain gate, there were already corpses all over the place.
On the dirt slope opposite, Li Dao stood quietly in the wind, waiting for news from the cave.
Just when Li Dao was waiting a little anxiously, a point of light outside the cave suddenly shook incessantly.
"General, look!" Mr. Ma, who was behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at the bright light in the distance with a feather fan.
Li Dao looked in the direction, and his face was also full of joy: "Okay, hurry up and follow the old man to the mountains to find a sword!" ”
At the sound of an order, everyone ran down the hillside to the mountain gate.
Except for the retinue that was left to guard the mountain gate, everyone poured in.
The passage in the cave was wide, but it was filled with corpses along the way, and these bloody corpses were enough to imagine what kind of murder had happened before.
The group went through the three organs of Ten Thousand Arrow Array, Five Poisonous Water, and Bottomless Abyss, although the mechanism was broken, but each level was full of countless casualties, and the corpses were piled up.
Li Dao looked at these people who died unexpectedly, and his expression was slightly moved: "The organs here are so domineering, if it weren't for these people to open the way, we don't know how many people would be killed or injured......"
"What the general said is very true, according to his subordinate masters, back then, the ancestor Yingkuizi arranged a lot of organs here, if it weren't for the people who knew the number of deep organs, even if thousands of people came in, it would be in vain!"
Li Dao turned around and said with an interesting smile: "It seems that Mr. Ma is not confident enough in his own skills!" ”
"Shame on your subordinates!"
"Hey, Mr. Ma doesn't need to be too humble, the old man just said it casually, and this method is very direct, and the old man appreciates it very much!"
This Mr. Ma is actually Ma Qianli, the apprentice of Yinghong, the descendant of Yingkuizi, in order to get the opening map of Luojian Mountain, he poisoned his master with a poisonous hand.
Now that he has taken refuge in Li Dao, he just wants to get glory and wealth, and how can he care about the life and death of others.
Ma Qianli pointed to the boulder gate in front of him and said solemnly: "General, as long as you open this stone gate, the legendary Heavenly Sword will be at your fingertips!" ”
"Then there's Mr. Rauma!" As soon as he heard that this Heavenly Sword was behind the stone gate, his expression suddenly became excited.
"Yes!"
Ma Qianli immediately took out the map, according to the markings on it, as well as the cracking of the mechanism, and finally paused on the gate for half an hour before cracking the mechanism that opened the gate.
As the door slowly opened, Li Dao saw at a glance the eight night pearls in the depths of the secret room, as well as the handsome stone wall dragon carving.
But after everyone searched, they couldn't find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sword, and Li Dao grabbed Ma Qianli very eagerly: "Mr. Ma, where is this Heavenly Sword?" ”
"According to the above record, it should be in this dragon's mouth, but ......" Ma Qianli pointed to the stone wall dragon head and replied very puzzled.
Li Dao stared at the dragon head with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that this rumor is false?" ”
"This ......"
"General, it's not good!" Just as the two were speculating about the truth of this matter, the general guarding the mountain gate hurriedly ran in.
"What's so alarming?"
"General, we are surrounded!"
"What, this can't be, isn't there a Hutong light guarding outside the mountain?"
"But now there are torches everywhere in the mountains, and the sound of shouting and killing is approaching here, so please think twice!"
"This ......"
Ma Qianli also hurriedly said at this moment: "General, since this Heavenly Sword has not been found, we might as well leave this place of right and wrong for the time being!" ”
"But...... Ahem, withdraw! Li Dao looked around very unwillingly, and then led everyone out of the secret room.
When Li Dao came to the gate of the mountain, sure enough, as the general said, the torches around him were like stars, and the sound of shouting and killing was also approaching here.
Knowing from the mouth of the general, there were large groups of soldiers and horses approaching from the southwest, north and south, Li Dao was shocked, and hurriedly ordered everyone to flee to the east.
This time he infiltrated Luojian Mountain to find a sword, which was an extremely secret thing, and naturally he couldn't let others know about it.
This unknown army dared to go into the mountains at night, and Li Dao decided that it would not be Hutongguang's army. Because Li Dao had hinted at Hutong Light in advance, no matter what happened in the mountains, the army was not allowed to enter the mountain.
Li Dao believed that this army that suddenly appeared was not the Dingyuan Army under his command.
Otherwise, with his control of the army in Yizhou, it would be impossible to suddenly transfer troops without his knowledge. Even Ye Yu, the envoy of the Qin Mission, was not capable of doing this.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Dao was in a hurry to avoid this unknown army and head east.
The evacuation to the east was extremely smooth.
However, when he arrived at the place of the mountain gorge, he suddenly encountered an interception, and the person who led him was Li Dayin.
"The person in front of you is General Li?" Li Dayin sat on horseback, and his words and deeds were very respectful.
When Ma Qianli heard the attitude of the person in front of him, he was respectful, not like a person who intercepted. In a hurry, there is no defense: "Since you know, don't retreat quickly!" ”
Li Dayin, who got the quasi-letter, immediately led a group of subordinates of the Hidden Alliance without saying a word and met Li Dao's escort.
While slashing and killing the enemy's head, Li Dayin shouted angrily: "Brother, guard the exit for me and slaughter these dog officials!" ”
The brothers of the Hidden Alliance can be said to have the same hatred and hatred, and they surrounded Li Dao's team.
Li Dao was also red-eyed at the moment, he didn't think that the situation under his control would cause such chaos to happen.
Now not only did he not get the Heavenly Sword, but he was also hunted down by an unknown army. Now in this canyon, he has been robbed and killed by an unknown force.
Tonight, it's unforgettable......
On the peak of the mountain gorge here, Ye Yu and Baili Feng stood side by side, looking down at the battle below, and did not speak.
After a long time, Baili Feng laughed softly: "This Li Dao never thought that he would be cunning all his life, but tonight he would become a chess piece on Brother Ye's chessboard......"
"There are games in chess, and there are games in games, but this game is not big enough!" When Ye Yu said this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, and a rare trace of longing burst out of his eyes.
Baili Feng listened to Ye Yu's words, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he said in a deep voice: "Brother Ye, which side do you want to win in this game under the mountain?" ”
"It's better not to lose or win......"
"What Brother Ye said is extremely true, Li Dayin is Brother Ye's friend, and Li Dao is the envoy of the Dingyuan Army, if he dies, Yizhou will be in chaos, so he can't die!"
Baili Feng smiled when he said this: "But these two people are more or less threatening, and the best outcome is to entangle each other and lose both, this move not only gives Li Dao a warning, but also greatly reduces the power of the Hidden Alliance!" ”
Ye Yu turned his head and glanced at Baili Feng meaningfully: "Brother Baili knows my heart very well!" ”
What Baili Feng said was actually right, Ye Yu asked Bai Li Feng to take the method of encircling three and missing one, driving Li Dao here, and letting Li Dayin wait here to be robbed and killed, not only to prove his innocence to Li Dayin, but also to reduce Li Dayin's wings!
Today's Ye Yu is becoming more and more difficult to figure out, and it seems that the decision of every thing will not be as simple as it seems.
Although he regards Li Dayin as a brother, otherwise he would not have paid a lot of money over the years, but the way of employing people is actually the same as the way of civil and military.
One by one, with a degree of tightness, today's Ye Yu has gradually mastered this kind of control.
Ye Yu was worried that he had no chance to suppress Li Dayin, and calculating Li Dayin tonight was also an important part of his layout.
If he wants to take Li Dao's life tonight, he can completely transfer the two hundred and forty archers from Crescent Lake, no matter how experienced Li Dao is, it will be difficult to escape the death of random arrows.
But he didn't do this, but let Li Dayin consume his strength with him, which may be a kind of trick to control people's minds.
I don't want you to die, but I definitely won't make you feel better!
"Brother Ye, you are becoming more and more difficult to figure out......" In the cold wind, Baili Feng, who had been quiet for a long time, said a sentence in his heart.
"The human heart is unpredictable, how can we really see through it? But for a real friend, I, Ye Yu, will never hurt it! ”
Speaking of this, Ye Yu asked softly again: "Brother Baili, aren't you difficult to figure out?" ”
"Well, I didn't expect that this time, even I was calculated by Brother Ye......" The clever Baili Feng was only slightly stunned, and then suddenly understood.
"Please rest assured, Brother Ye, no matter what, since you and I are friends, we will never lose each other in this life!"
"Good! There is a sentence from Brother Baili, and it is enough to wish! ”
Then the two of them didn't say anything more, didn't pay any more attention to the fight at the bottom of the mountain, and left the mountain and disappeared into the night.
When he was at Liujiang Post Station that day, Ye Yu already knew the relationship between Bailifeng and the Li family.
According to the information he received, Baili Feng had served as a teacher in the Li Mansion three years ago, which shows that Bai Li Feng's martial arts are not bad.
There are not many people who can be both civil and military, but Baili Feng is one of them.
In the past two years of teaching career, he has also been quite appreciated in Li Dao's house, especially by Li Dao's youngest daughter Li Menglan.
Bailifeng's teaching is actually taught to Li Menglan.
It's a pity that after getting along for a long time, it is inevitable that feelings will arise, not to mention the hundred miles of style, civil and military, this accumulated experience alone has already convinced the daughter of the Li family.
In addition, Baili Feng has a good appearance and a quiet and elegant nature, which can be described as extremely lethal for Li Menglan, who has not yet left the cabinet.
But after all, the identity is different, and he was finally fired by Li Dao a year ago, so Bailifeng left the Li family and settled down in Shaoxing.
So at the beginning of the post station, Ye Yu once said that if there was a **** entanglement with Li Dao, he hoped that Baili Feng would not embarrass him.
What Ye Yu is worried about is the relationship between Baili Feng!
But Ye Yu always felt that there was something strange in this, because the appearance of Baili Feng was too abrupt.
Although he is not a very suspicious person, he has always been convinced of this keen perception.
Since Baili Feng once said that he was kind to Hutong Light back then, then he will plan and let Bai Li Feng go to carry out this mission.
The reason why he made such a decision was that Ye Yu wanted to see which side Baili Feng would stand on in front of his children's private feelings and friends at this critical moment!
