Chapter 184: Secret Conversation in the Attic
"The land of Luoyang looks like a pool of stagnant water, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging under this pool of stagnant water, containing dangers that are difficult for ordinary people to predict, and unpredictable calculations.
This is the last paragraph of the book in which the concubine Xuan invited Xiaolin Temple and Liushu Tianque to Luoyang in the Daxiangguo Temple. In Shi Feixuan's view, Luoyang City seems to be calm and waveless, but there are already undercurrents in it, and the mechanism design is everywhere. The people of the Demon Gate are ready to move, and they seem to have a major plan.
It is difficult to support alone, so I asked for the help of Xiaolin Temple, Liushu Tianque and other forces.
I have to admit that the master concubine Xuan's deduction is correct, but at the same time, she gradually walked into the trap designed by Jun Xiaoran! Although Shi Fei Xuan had faintly felt that the evil king Shi Zhixuan had arrived in Luoyang City and had made a major move, but because of the provocation of the most outstanding contemporary heir of the Yin Sect, Wan Wan, she also forgot to think of a link, that is, the appearance of the evil king Shi Zhixuan in Luoyang was not to attack the holy land of righteousness, Xiaolin Temple, Liushu Tianque or Cihang Jingzhai, but to take measures to calm down the outside and inside.
Therefore, the concubine's talent and strategy are beyond ordinary people, and her heart for people and things is like water, but she will inevitably fall into the trap of Jun Xiao's dyeing!
Shi Fei Xuan didn't know at all that in addition to the opponent of the Demon Gate, there was a person who was already silently calculating her and had insight into everything about her! Jun Xiaoran once said to Wan Wan that if you give the concubine time, then the concubine may sort out these events, and then see the clouds and see the sun, so we can't give the concubine this opportunity to constantly use external things to interfere with the mental judgment of the concubine, and then let her step by step into the trap we designed.
You Niaoti, Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laosi, and Jin Huanzhen visited the empty Zen master of Daxiangguo Temple in the name of the disciples of the evil king, and the purpose of this was to mess with the judgment of the master and concubine, and use external pressure to make the concubine Xuan have to take the initiative to enter the trap maze designed by Jun Xiaoran.
Wan Wan is a very smart person, and she can understand it at one point. This person who has been in the Demon Gate since he was a child, although Zhu Yuyan has seen many young and handsome young people, and the proud daughter of the sky is rarely valued, but he can't help but show a trace of admiration for Jun Xiaoran!
Planning to walk step by step in the direction designed by Jun Xiaoran, at this moment he had already said that the four of Youtori, who had already surrendered to the hands of the Yin Sect, went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to visit the empty Zen master as a disciple of the evil emperor Xiang Yutian.
In the room, Wan Wan, who was fiddling with a delicate porcelain vase, looked at the vase with her cheeks in her hand, but what came to mind was something completely unrelated to the furnishings of the room. "Meridian Sword Zuo Youxian or Sichuan Fat Jia Anlong?" Suddenly, Wan Wan smiled and captivated the country and the city.
If it is said that dealing with the master concubine is an external move, then how to deal with the internal demon gate where there are already different opinions is an internal move! In addition to the two forces of the evil king and the queen of the underworld, other people or forces with other thoughts within the demon gate are the factors of instability.
Among the eight masters of the Demon Gate, the two meridian sword Zuo Youxian and Sichuan Fat Jia Anlong, these two can be regarded as unstable factors affecting this duel! Although Bichen tended to be the queen of the yin, and An Long bowed to Shi Zhixuan, the two never showed up since they arrived in Luoyang. Therefore, Jun Xiaoran had to seek their message.
This is also the reason why Wan Wan said to herself An Long or Zuo Youxian.
Whether it is the Meridian Sword Zuo Youxian or the Sichuan Fat Jia Anlong, they are not easy people, the two of them can run rampant in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they naturally have the ability! But Wan Wan himself didn't realize that when he mentioned the Meridian Sword Zuo Youxian or the Sichuan Fat Jia Anlong, what he was thinking about in his mind was not whether Jun Xiaoran could deal with it, but gloating, thinking that the person who was found by Jun Xiaoran among the two was unlucky!
Perhaps, this is Wan Wan's subtle trust in Jun Xiaoran, and her recognition of Jun Xiaoran's strength.
Everything should have a plan, and having a plan means that there are variables! So plans need to vary from time to time, from person to person, and perhaps even from place to place. Jun Xiaoran is a person who likes to make plans very much, especially when he implements something he thinks is very important, he will make a series of plans, such as how to design events to help Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang, such as how to plan and how to eliminate the interference and make the evil king and the queen of the yin concentrate on the decisive battle.
This plan is very detailed, and many of the variables have been thought out again and again in Jun Xiaoran's mind, carefully selected, and the variables that may affect things are solved and adapted.
The variables that could have affected the operation were largely unaffected by the implementation of the plan, and there were basically no difficulties! The evil king, Yang Xuyan, Lao Junguan, and Tianlian Sect were basically very smooth, and in the end, Jun Xiaoran and Sichuan Fat Jia Anlong, the sect master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect and one of the eight masters of the Demon Gate, agreed to meet in Zhaomingxuan.
This meeting was not a separate meeting, Yang Xuyan was accompanied by Jun Xiaoran on the order of the evil king, and the evil king's words were very clear, one to protect Mr. Jun's safety, and two, to monitor this meeting. For this matter, Jun Xiaoran didn't make sense, in fact, Jun Xiaoran didn't think that the evil king would be so generous to tell him An Long's whereabouts, and then not send anyone to monitor his movements.
Everything is still in plan.
Zhaomingxuan is a very quiet and elegant teahouse, which is not located in the bustling area of Luoyang City, and it is not even prosperous! The boss of Zhaomingxuan does not pursue prosperous business, but pursues a quiet and elegant environment, which makes people feel a sense of self-deviation from the heart, without the noise of cars and horses, and away from the world.
Some tired officials in the court, some old officials who have resigned and returned to their hometowns, depressed scholars, will come here from time to time to drink tea and meditate! Of course, this place is also indispensable for the patronage of the people of the rivers and lakes, because the owner of this Zhaomingxuan is a person from the rivers and lakes, so won't it attract the care of the people of the rivers and lakes? ?
Zhaoming Xuan is divided into two floors, and each floor has a total of sixteen tables, which will never increase because of the number of people, and decrease because of the number of people! Jun Xiaoran's original intention was to sit on the first floor and listen to some literati and writers who had long since ceased to mingle in the officialdom or officials who had resigned from their official positions to talk about some internal affairs of the court, but Yang Xuyan had already ordered someone to set a table on the second floor near the south window!
Jun Xiaoran did not refuse, this meeting should have followed the principle of not being eye-catching! There were very few guests on the second floor, except for his table, there was only one table where a literati of about forty years old sat at this table, this person looked at his nose and nose, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, and sometimes opened his eyes to look left and right, as if he was waiting for someone.
It's not surprising, after all, the guests who come to Zhaoming Xuan basically fill the first floor before they sit in the attic.
Jun Xiao poured two cups of tea, glanced at Yang Xuyan, who was standing in front of the window with a long body and looking out of the window, and asked, "Do you want a cup?" ”
Yang Xuyan didn't turn his head, his body didn't even move, and he said: "I remember that you don't like to drink tea, so why do you have to force yourself?" The voice was still cold, and there was not much emotion.
Jun Xiaoran understands very well people like Yang Xuyan who walk the rivers and lakes as an assassin killer, this kind of person has always rarely spoken, and has always recognized a truth: emotions are fatal things, and speech may also expose his shortcomings, which means that he is one step closer to death.
Jun Xiaoran took a small sip of tea that always made him feel a little bitter, looked at the cup in his hand, and said softly: "It's not that I don't like tea, but I like to choose wine between tea and wine, but when there is no wine, why not drink a cup of tea that can quench your thirst?" ”
Yang Xuyan stopped talking, Yang Xuyan was very sure of speaking, even if he wanted to say something, but after considering the consequences, he could restrain his ** and not say it.
Jun Xiaoran greatly admired Yang Xuyan's cautious character, although Jun Xiaoran also knew that Yang Xuyan, who had a reputation as a shadow assassin, sometimes showed insolence and wanton behavior that was completely different from cautious, especially when assassinating and assassinating.
Shadow assassin, when it comes to this title, but among the people above the rivers and lakes who know this title, I'm afraid there are few people who are not afraid! This is after the Central Plains Yihong left the killer world, and the first killer in Jiangnan Lian Yu was defeated, the world's most famous and peerless figure in the killer world, Jianghu once rumored that there is a number one killer organization, which is also the killer organization to which the Central Plains Yihong belongs, Tsing Yi Lou hopes to recruit this lone peerless killer.
Jun Xiaoran has no fear of this killer! He can behave very naturally, and even make Yang Xuyan feel an indescribable but obvious pressure.
Fear? It's just the fear of the unknown! If you don't know when, where, and where this shadow assassin will kill people, Jun Xiaoran will also be afraid! However, now Jun Xiaoran is not afraid, there are three reasons, first, Jun Xiaoran already knows the shadow assassin, and Jun Xiaoran has already fought with the shadow assassin, and the identity that Jun Xiaoran now has!
Therefore, how could such a Jun Xiaoran still be afraid of this killer who he already knew very well? ?
"You know I don't like people following me, it will ruin my mood!" Yang Xuyan didn't want to speak, but Jun Xiaoran was willing to speak, he smiled and looked at Yang Xuyan's not wide but chilling back, and said.
"But you still didn't refuse the master's decision, and finally agreed to come with me."
Jun Xiaoran nodded and smiled: "If I had a way to refuse, I would have refused a long time ago, maybe you don't know that I am a person who likes to hold grudges, as early as when you assassinated me, I thought about getting rid of you one day on that occasion!" ”
Yang Xuyan's body was still unmoving, his eyes were still looking out of the window, if ordinary people heard this, they should at least have a slight reaction! At least he would never leave his back to a person who had murderous intent towards him, but Yang Xuyan didn't, he still looked out the window and looked around to see if it was the figure of Sichuan fat Jia Anlong.
But he replied: "I already knew about it when I first officially met you in that retreat, but I also know that you won't kill me now, and you can't kill me, so that's enough, as for this matter in the past, whether you will kill me or not, it depends on your ability!" ”
