Chapter Ninety-Six—Plotting
Ling Yun shook his head and sighed, "Yes, but we are separated from the main army. ”
Li Xingyi's heart suddenly relaxed, he relaxed his heart, and the vigilance on his body dissipated little by little.
Then Ling Yun followed up with another sentence, which made him think of it: "But I believe that it won't be long before we will join the main army." Because the destination of our trip is Jianmen Mountain. ”
Li Xingyi suddenly became nervous: "Jianmen Mountain, what are you doing here?"
"This ......" Ling Yun deliberately hesitated and did not speak.
Li Xingyi snorted coldly, and a very bad answer welled up in his heart.
The mountain has been destroyed, what should the remnants of the southern slope do first? Of course, set up camp and rebuild their homes!
"Could it be that what they chose is also Jianmen Mountain? Damn!" For a moment, a strong killing intent surged in Li Xingyi's heart.
If he speculated, then the large army staying in the mountain was the enemy of his Li family.
But he quickly suppressed his killing intent. He is already old, not as impulsive as young people, and reason is the best gift that time has given him.
When the elderly deal with things, they will be safe first.
He calmed down and thought about it carefully, even if he killed these two people immediately, I am afraid it would not help!
Killing them didn't stop the remnants of Suxia Mountain from coming to Jianmen Mountain. Instead, it made the situation worse, setting up a group of enemies in the first place.
And this group of enemies, although they have no roots, are powerful. Didn't you hear from this young master of the family? There are leaders in the army, and there are spiritual masters. What's even more frightening is that these people are facing a desperate situation, and they are more able to explode in battle.
Second, even if you do it now. The girl named Nuan'er is a real spiritual master. And on his side, although he is strong, there will be casualties in the end.
Moreover, such a major matter should not be decided by yourself. The Patriarch is not far away, so why not ask her for advice?
Thinking of this, Li Xingyi decided to stabilize Ling Yun and Su Nuan first.
He smiled and said enthusiastically, "That's a coincidence, good nephew." The large army of our Li family, just nearby, holds an annual large-scale hunting meeting. Our Li family is equivalent to half of the landlord, and the virtuous nephew must come as a guest, so that we can do our best to be a landlord. ”
"This ......" Ling Yun deliberately hesitated again.
"Come, our Li family's roast leg of lamb, that's top-notch. Li Xingyi's nephew also persuaded, but his eyes were fixed on Su Nuan.
Ling Yun touched his belly, revealing embarrassment. There are some scruples, and some longings.
Li Xingyi's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "Don't hesitate to be a virtuous nephew, if you hesitate, you won't give face to the old man." ”
Ling Yun bowed at this time: "That kid is bothering your family." ”
......
In the large tent, a banquet was set up, and everyone sat down in turn.
Ling Yun and Su Nuan sat next to each other at a banquet.
Several spirit masters sat opposite, and on the main seat was the Li family patriarch.
The top of the tent was lifted to reveal a clear blue sky. In the center, a lamb is roasted, and the smell of incense has filled the tent.
"Come, the leg of lamb is the most tender. If you are from afar, please enjoy it. The Li family patriarch said enthusiastically.
She is a middle-aged woman. At her suggestion, the house slave who roasted the lamb first presented the cut leg of lamb to Ling Yun. Then, another strip was cut, packed in a silver plate, and sent to Su Nuan.
The leg of lamb exuded heat, and Ling Yun took a bite, which was crispy and tender. If you dip it in some honey or cumin seasoning, it will look even more delicious.
"It is indeed a delicacy in the world, no less than the monkey brain in the grass skirt. Even Su Nuan ate it, and he was amazed.
"The guests loved it, it was the happiest place for the hosts. Hahaha. Li Xingyi said with a smile.
Ling Yun ate and ate, and tears flowed down.
Everyone was surprised, and the leader of the Li family hurriedly asked, "Ask Tianxian nephew, why are you crying?"
"The delicacy is so delicious, but when I think of the thrill of me and Nuan'er being in danger these days, and the hardships of the people who are not clothed and hungry, I can't help but feel heartache and hope that the leader will forgive me. Ling Yun stood up and arched his hand.
Several spirit masters looked at each other and let out sighs.
The leader of the Li family asked: "My clan is deeply sympathetic to the disaster on the southern slope. Can you tell me what happened on the mountain?"
The once vibrant Suxia Mountain is now a barren area, and there is no living mouth in the entire Suxia Mountain. Such a shocking change has long attracted the attention and investigation of nearby forces. Over the past few months, the news of the destruction of Suxia Mountain has gradually spread far and wide.
"I don't dare to think about it. When I think about it, it hurts. Ling Yun sat down, his face full of sorrow.
"Come on, serve the wine. Seeing that Ling Yun didn't want to speak, the leader of the Li family didn't ask, and ordered the house slave to send two jars of wine.
Su Nuan was indifferent, she never drank alcohol, only water.
Ling Yun directly slapped the mud open, drank it directly, and burst into tears again.
The leader of the Li family was surprised: "Virtuous nephew, why are you crying?"
"After drinking the wine of the nobility, the mellow aroma is intoxicating, and I can't help but think of the green plum wine wine in my hometown, and the day when I used to drink on the mountain. Ling Yun said while wiping away tears.
The sighs of the spirit masters became louder, and many people comforted Ling Yun.
What happened to Ling Yun made them resonate with each other. After all, the spiritual veins of the Li family have shown signs of exhaustion, and if they can't find new spiritual veins, the tragic situation of the clan is the future of their Li family.
The leader of the Li family comforted him again, and then persuaded Ling Yun to stop his tears.
"When my home is destroyed, who can not be sad? I can understand the feelings of the virtuous nephew. But as long as there are people, there is hope. Don't be sad, nephew, I believe that in a few days, you will be able to join your people. Li Xingyi said tentatively.
Ling Yun was ignorant, wiped away his tears, and replied casually: "Yes, it shouldn't be a few days." ”
Hearing this answer, Li Xingyi and the Li family patriarch couldn't help but glance at each other quickly.
After the dinner, the leader of the Li family summoned Li Xingyi to discuss secretly.
"Patriarch, the situation is not good. The cottage was broken, why did these remnants come to Jianmen Mountain? It is very likely that they are seizing this territory. Shall we strike first?" Li Xingyi said with a worried face.
"Hehehe. The matriarch of the Li family chuckled.
Li Xingyi slightly: "Why is the patriarch laughing?"
The matriarch narrowed her eyes and said comfortingly: "Xingyi Lingshi should be impatient, there are pros and cons to this matter. As long as it works well, it can save us a lot of effort. ”
Being reminded by this, Li Xingyi suddenly became thoughtful.
That's right!
The spiritual veins of the Li family. After many years, it has dried up and dried up. It is necessary to find a new spiritual vein as soon as possible, and this operation, in the name of hunting, is actually to find a suitable spring on Jianmen Mountain.
The Li family's team had just arrived, but they hadn't found anything yet. But the remnants traveled long distances. I want to come to Jianmen Mountain. It must be that some information is known.
It can be surmised that the family must have information about the location of the spirit vein.
Seeing the change in Li Xingyi's expression, the patriarch of the Li family continued: "It seems that you have also thought of it. In fact, all famous mountains and rivers are places where spiritual energy is condensed, and there will always be spiritual veins. However, it is not easy to find out the exact location of the spiritual vein. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. ”
"Around our Li family, there are Liu families, Wu families, and Luo families. They are all powerful families. There have always been checks and balances on each other. If the news of the depletion of our Li family's spiritual veins spreads, I am afraid that it will provoke them to take advantage of others and fall into the ground. Therefore, we have discussed before that we will secretly find the location of the spirit vein, and this time it is also under the guise of 'hunting'. And yet that's it. Doing things is tied, and the manpower and material resources consumed when exploring the spiritual veins will be greater. ”
When the patriarch of the Li family said this, he stopped talking and was worried.
Li Xingyi continued: "So, patriarch, do you want to get direct information about the location of the spiritual veins from this guy?"
"Exactly. The Li family patriarch nodded, his eyes shining brightly. "Mo Xingye and the spirit masters who rejected the southern slope will definitely be difficult to deal with, but who made those two teenagers fall into our hands? This is a godsend!"
Li Xingyi frowned: "However, I don't think those two teenagers are stupid. That girl looks like a die-hard with a firm will, although that kid's cultivation is weaker. But everywhere is not alarmed, and things are quiet. The first time we met, when we were surrounded, we didn't panic at all. It may not be easy to pry their mouths open. ”
The leader of the Li family snorted: "If you don't have such a will, how can you be worthy of being the young master of a clan? These two young men are very good. If they're not good, then I'll have to doubt their identity. ”
Li Xingyi said again: "So the leader, you have to think twice." If they are tortured, I am afraid that they may not be relenting. They also left traces along the way, and the remnants arrived quickly. These people are standard desperate outlaws. ”
The leader of the Li family waved his hand slightly: "Don't worry about this, I already have a plan." ”
"Oh? ”
The leader of the Li family spoke in detail, and Li Xingyi's cloudy old eyes became brighter and brighter the more he listened.
After the leader of the Li family finished speaking, Li Xingyi couldn't help but praise him: "This plan is promising! I look at Chi Xingye, he is indeed concerned about his family, and he cried twice during the banquet, but he is a man of temperament. He is a young man after all, leader, you set up this game, don't worry about him not taking the bait. ”
"But, patriarch, what if even they don't know where the spirit veins are?"
"Then let them never come. ”
"Yes"
