Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dismantling the Pavilion
Murong Heng looked at them, the old god picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently, Gao Huan saw that he knew so well that the old master must have an idea in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the feather fan to pat him on the back, and said with a flattering smile: "I said old master, do you have any ideas, you see that we are all in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, if you really have an idea, say it quickly, let us who need to recharge our IQ also be confused, hehe." After speaking, he looked at Gao Yue, obviously talking about him.
The old master stroked his beard calmly and said with a smile: "In my opinion, it may not be a bad thing if this thing is not done. When Gao Huan heard this, he became interested, rekindled his hope, and hurriedly asked, "How can the old master say this?" ”
"Although Nanbatian has the hostages we want, we also have their people in our hands." Murong Heng said what he thought. Gao Huan said, "Could it be that the old master means that we exchange hostages with them?" ”
"This is just one of them, we can throw stones to ask for directions first, send someone to contact Nan Batian first, if he is not interested in the hostages in our hands, then we need to adjust our strategy." Murong Heng took a sip of tea and continued: "Sacrifice the green radish and let him come and talk to us in person." ”
"What does that mean?" Even Sun Teng didn't understand what the old master meant.
The old master put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Has Lord Sun also forgotten the conversation between Cao Cao and Han Sui back then?" Yi Yuwentai's mind was more suspicious than Ma Chao's back then. "I see, he wants to divide and disintegrate the position of Xiaoyao Pavilion in Yuwentai's heart, at least so that Nanbatian's position in the Western Wei Group is not as strong as before.
"As you deserve to be an old master, everything is within your calculations. Just do as you say. Gao Huan laughed, Murong Heng was still reliable, every time he encountered a thorny problem that could not be solved, it was always the old master who let him get through the danger without danger. In the final analysis, this is still Xu Mingzhi's recommendation back then, although Xu Mingzhi himself does not have much talent, but Gao Huan feels that it is okay to reward him with more wealth at this time.
Gao Huan and they still didn't expect that the relationship between Nan Batian and Yan Wuji was extraordinary, when they learned that Yan Wuji's imbecile was captured by Gao Huan, Nan Batian decided to exchange Qingluo's younger siblings for Yan Wuji's freedom without consulting Yuwentai.
But Yuwentai still knew the news for the first time, and Li Yifeng told the secret.
"Presumptuous! That's how you talk to this king?! Yuwentai stared coldly at Nan Batian, who was asking about this hostage exchange at this time. Don't forget, you can be here today because of the full support of this king. ”
Nan Batian's face was very ugly, in front of Li Yifeng and other subordinates, Yu Wentai did not save face for himself at all, and angrily accused him of contacting the Eastern Wei Gaohuan Group without permission. "My subordinates know the king's kindness to me, but this incident is extraordinary, the most powerful killers in our organization have all been arrested, if I don't do something, how will I bring people in the future?"
"Hmph, just those few wrecks, you don't have to bother to rescue them, several assassinations have failed, the qualifications for self-determination are enough, and it is useless to rescue this kind of subordinates!" Everyone knows Yu Wentai's ruthlessness, treating useless people like used paper and discarding them at will. But at this moment, hearing him say this about Yan Wuji and the others made people chill enough.
"No matter how you say it, he is also a person from my Xiaoyao Pavilion, no matter how bad it is, it will not be Gao Huan's turn to deal with them, people, they must be rescued, and I will deal with them myself." Nan Batian also said with a calm face, not to be outdone.
Yu Wentai has already killed in his heart, and he has no unanimous understanding of his disobedient subordinates as enemies, which is very dangerous. Such a person Yu Wentai will not hesitate to dispose of it, but for Nan Batian, now is not the time, so Yu Wentai immediately said: "Okay, people can be exchanged back, but you don't have to go in person, let that one ...... Li Yifeng will go for you. ”
"You're in an unusual position, and if something happens, it's going to be hard for the whole organization to function, you know." Yu Wentai's words are ostensibly for the sake of Nan Batian, but in fact, he is selfish, if Li Yifeng goes, he can take the opportunity to kill all Qingluo Yan Wuji and others during the exchange, saving so much trouble, even if Nan Batian makes trouble for him after he comes back, what if everyone is dead? Maybe you can find an excuse to kill him by the way, and the entire Xiaoyao Pavilion will be reshuffled and controlled in your own hands.
Nan Batian didn't know Yuwentai's sinister intentions, and really thought that he was thinking about himself, and he also carefully considered Yuwentai's opinion at the moment, and felt that he said that he also had a certain point, so he had to foolishly agree to let Li Yifeng disguise himself to connect.
Li Yifeng originally thought that if Nan Ba Tian really went to exchange hostages in person, he could take the opportunity to do something, in case he died, with his errands in front of and behind Yuwentai's saddle for so many years, Xiaoyao Pavilion had a good chance to fall into his hands, but who would have thought that Yuwentai would sell himself when he came up and let him negotiate for Nan Batian, wouldn't this be the same as letting him die? I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that my calculations had failed, but I didn't dare to offend the two strongmen in front of me.
"What the king said is that this trip is not easy to do, so let me go for the pavilion master." Li Yifeng took retreat as advance, and said to Nan Batian with a flattering face, and there was great righteousness and awe-inspiring to die for him. Nanba Tian snorted coldly and ignored him, thinking that if it wasn't for your kid to report to Yuwentai, I would be humiliated by him? Don't cry in front of Lao Tzu.
Seeing that Nan Batian ignored him, and Yuwentai ignored him, Li Yifeng said curtly: "Since this is the case, then the villain will go and prepare for it, and strive to do this job smoothly." With that, he turned and retreated.
In fact, Yuwentai is also very thoughtful and ruthless, if Li Yifeng goes this time, it is very likely that he will die in the hands of Gao Huan, so that he not only retains his secrets from outsiders over the years, but also accepts Li Yifeng's talented and beautiful wife and young lady by the way.
So no matter who you send, Yuwentai is profitable, such a person is still helping people to make money when you are sold when you do things with him, it is too treacherous and vicious.
Before leaving, Li Yifeng received a secret order from Yuwentai: kill all the hostages without leaving them alive, and kill Qingluo together if you have the chance. He also promised him a promotion when he returned.
And Gao Huan's order was to exchange for Qingluo's younger brothers and sisters, so that Yan Wuji and the others could leave alive, because as long as there was Qingluo's intelligence, the secret bases and related personnel that Xiaoyao Pavilion had planted and lurked in the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty would all be wiped out, and it would be difficult to make any further improvements at least for a few years.
But the order that Murong Heng gave to Murong Shaozong and Gao Yue was: exchange the hostages and find a way to kill Yan Wuji and the others before they leave the border, even with Nan Batian, who came to the meeting in person by the way. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could the old master let it go so easily.
So the two families made their own calculations, carefully arranged for their own plans, and planned carefully, just waiting for the day of the hostage exchange.
"You know what? I've arranged for someone to get your siblings back. Gao Huan came to Qingluo's hideout and told her about the recent events one by one, and looked at her with great interest, wondering what she would say next.
Who knew that this girl was expressionless after hearing this, and said to Gao Huan with a lazy look: "Oh, I know, I'm tired and want to sleep, you can leave if you have nothing to do." ”
"That's it? Aren't you worried about the safety of your younger siblings? Gao Huan didn't expect her attitude to be so cold, and asked with a little disappointment.
"Hey, it stands to reason that you are more anxious about their safety than I am, because you want to get the information you want from me, and besides, I can't go out to protect them here, so what can I worry about?" Qingluo also saw through Gao Huan's intentions, although she didn't break him, but she told the essence of the matter.
Gao Huan is now more and more interested in this beautiful little assassin, and always feels that this girl is hiding secrets that no one knows.
The hostage exchange took place in a deserted monastery outside Luoyang, which was deserted and in disrepair, and was a good place to kill people and steal goods in armed private combat. The people on both sides have arrived, and the people who have arranged ambushes are also in place, but the difference is that because it is in the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, martial law has begun to be imposed on the border area, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, and scouts scattered along the border line are also infested in groups.
"You're Nan Batian?" Gao Yue pointed at Li Yifeng and said. Standing beside him were Yan Wuji and others who were in heavy shackles. Yan Wuji looked up at Li Yifeng and wanted to say that he was not Nan Batian himself, but Li Yifeng glanced at him, and he stopped talking. "That's right, I'm Nan Batian, now I can start replacing people without talking nonsense, have you brought all our people?" Li Yifeng didn't see Qingluo, so he asked.
"Qingluo is not on the list of exchanges, so don't bother, what about your hostages?" Murong Shaozong didn't want to talk nonsense with him, the purpose of him and Gao Yue was to wait for the opportunity to kill Li Yifeng and the others after receiving the hostages, and be sure to wipe them all out in the country.
Li Yifeng didn't speak, he was secretly thinking of countermeasures in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, Qingluo's two younger sisters and one younger brother were all brought out, the eldest of the three children was only twelve, and the youngest was only eight years old, and the three of them were pushed out, looking at Gao Yue and Murong Shaozong and others in panic.
"Well, since you're so anxious, let's get started." Gao Yue said to Li Yi immediately after Murong Shaozong had tested the hostage's truth.
At first, both sides thought that the other party would make a move, but they did not expect that the exchange of hostages ended quite smoothly, and everyone left the temple with their respective hostages. The show has just begun.
As soon as Gao Yue and Murong Shaozong and their party left three or four miles, they were immediately tracked down by more than a dozen masked assassins, and the two sides engaged in a fierce fight, killing and wounding each other. But fortunately, the hostages were not harmed, the assassins were completely annihilated, and then Murong Shaozong left with the hostages, and Gao Yue rushed to the nearby military camp with two followers to organize men and horses to chase Li Yifeng and others.
Li Yifeng didn't know the news of the assassin's defeat, he still planned to find a place to kill Yan Wuji and the others according to the original plan, but when he was about to start, he kept a cold arrow and shot him directly in the throat, and he fell under the horse without even shouting. Then the men and horses neighed, Gao Yue's samurai troops were all thrown into the battlefield, and the defenseless assassin gate was brutally hunted and killed, Yan Wuji and the others also broke the cauldron and resisted one after another when they saw the catastrophe, and almost killed Gao Yue, but fortunately he had enough archers, and soon killed Yan Wuji and his party in a low-lying mountain col.
Gao Yue looked at the corpses lying on the ground, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the sergeants, "Good job, brothers. Chop off all their heads and bring them back to the old master, and you will wait to be promoted and get rich! All the soldiers cheered, and they all came down and rushed to cut off the heads, and almost fought.
Of course, the old master didn't dare to let Gao Huan know what he ordered without authorization, but paper can't contain the fire, Gao Huan will get the news soon, and the old master still needs to find a way to persuade Gao Huan. But at least for now, he did what he had to do for Gao Huan: dismantle the organization of Xiaoyao Pavilion. At present, their leaders and elites are all lost, and if they wipe out their secret strongholds and undercover agents, they will not be able to pose any threat to Gao Huan's Eastern Wei Group for at least a long time in the future.
