Chapter 502, Council of the Senators
At first hearing Wu Yue's analysis, Qin Mengyao's lips opened slightly, and her heart was cold.
The enemy's sudden launch of the plan before the big birthday can be said to have many benefits, not only can it have the effect of striking first, disrupting your own deployment, but also gaining a psychological advantage.
In addition, King Yan was not as deferential and dependent on the Ghost King as he appeared on the surface, as long as Fang Yeyu and the others found the right time to divide and dissolve, and then attacked one by one with the momentum of thunder, it was very easy to cause chaos in their own formation, and even defeat them completely......
Thinking of that terrifying consequence, Qin Mengyao was afraid for a while, and hesitated, "However, Pang Ban's demon seed has not yet been completed, shouldn't he go to the Eagle Yuan Living Buddha first?" ”
Wu Yue put his hands behind his back and shook his head slowly, "I also thought so before I came to the capital, thinking that Pang Ban would get rid of the Eagle Yuan first, and then challenge me when he completely made up for the shortcomings of the demon seed, but did Meng Yao ever think that even if the Pang Ban Demon Seed became successful, he could really defeat me?" ”
"Huh? This ......"
Qin Mengyao was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
Not to mention Wu Yue's rapid progress in the kendo realm in the recent period, just looking at the domineering power of imitating Fire Fist Ace in the original battle of Liu Xinhu, it is not something that can be dealt with by a mere pang.
"Besides, I don't think Pang Ban can kill the Eagle Edge."
Wu Yue looked up at the direction of the imperial city, and said slightly, "Whether it is Pang Ban or Yingyuan, they are all strong people who have reached the peak in their respective fields, although they belong to Zen and martial arts, but the three thousand different paths of the avenue are the same realm, how can there be a difference between superior and inferior?" ”
Speaking of this, Wu Yue suddenly laughed and continued, "Although I hate Pang Ban very much, I have to say that he is indeed the most outstanding wizard of the Demon Gate for thousands of years, and the courage to sacrifice life and forget death for the sake of heaven is not something that ordinary people can have. ”
Qin Mengyao was stunned, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously said, "Xinglie means that Pang Ban intends to seek a breakthrough when challenging you?" ”
"This is the only way to make him seek that slim glimmer of life in the land of death, and it can be regarded as preserving the last trace of suspense for me to fight him."
Qin Mengyao looked at the distant sky in distraction, speechless for a long time. After a while, he sighed and said, "If Meng Yao is him, in the face of an almost invincible strong enemy, I don't know what kind of mentality it will be, maybe I won't even dare to see Xinglie's face......"
"You are the most outstanding disciple of Jingzhai for hundreds of years, so you don't have to be presumptuous."
Wu Yue turned his head to stare at the near-perfect side face, and explained, "Fear is the emotion that is most likely to blind your mind, in fact, neither Pang Ban nor I are as strong as you think. If you and I had changed identities, you might have been stronger than I am now. ”
Qin Mengyao smiled and looked back at him curiously, "Xinglie seems to be looking forward to this battle?" ”
"Of course." Wu Yue nodded.
Why is that? The last time I faced the Water Moon Sect and Lan Yu joining forces, I didn't see you have such an expression. Although those two are not as good as Pang Ban, they should be enough together, right? ”
Wu Yue laughed out loud, "Ants, it's not worth wasting time. What I really look forward to is what I'm willing to wait for, like the snow in front of me and the upcoming spots. ”
In fact, Wu Yue didn't say it all, what he really looked forward to was not to fight Pang Ban, but to hope that Pang Ban would make a breakthrough in the battle, and then defeat him at the pinnacle and most successful moment of his life, and personally destroy the broken dream that he had been waiting for for decades......
Of course, it would be better if his cheap wife Jin Bingyun could witness all this with her own eyes, but Wu Yue estimated that she would most likely not come.
Qin Mengyao seemed to sense his inner thoughts, and opened his mouth to persuade a few words, but when he thought of the grudge entanglement that he couldn't solve with Pang Ban, he finally gave up persuasion and said, "Will Xinglie participate in the meeting of the elders of the eight factions later?" ”
Wu Yue asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do?" Do you want me to convince them? ”
The death of Lan Yu and the Water Moon Sect was not just the loss of two black list level masters, but the destruction of the two major forces. After this battle, only the people of the Demon Palace were left to support the extraterritorial coalition forces, and there was another Heavenly Mandate Sect hidden in the shadows, and the actual threat was far less than imagined.
In other words, the importance of the Eight-Factions Alliance to one's side has plummeted, and there is not much difference between having it and not having it.
It is also for this reason that Wu Yue will have this question.
"The establishment of any kind of system is due to the situation and demand at the time, and the alliance of eight factions began in the period when Zhu Yuanzhang seized the world, and it has been 30 years since then. The world is unpredictable, and conformism will only hinder progress, and the environment of thirty years ago is very different from now, and the system of the alliance is still the same, which has long been corrupted and degenerate, and the Han Fu Bloody Case is the best example. ”
Qin Mengyao said with a slight embarrassment, "For the Eight Factions Alliance, I can't make up my mind. I don't know whether to persuade them to dissolve the alliance or force them to take a clear stand in support of us. ”
Wu Yue shrugged his shoulders and suggested, "When I usually encounter this situation, I will take a pen and paper to list the advantages and disadvantages of the two plans, compare them, and choose the good one, you might as well try it." ”
"Oh......"
Qin Mengyao was stunned, she thought that Wu Yue would take over the affairs of the Eight Factions Alliance in a big way, and no matter how bad it was, she would give her some advice, or a few words of encouragement, but she didn't expect to say this. couldn't help but glance at him, "Xinglie is really getting lazier and lazier, but this is a good idea." ”
"Let's go, after the battle with Pang Ban, I won't show up on the rivers and lakes again." Wu Yue raised his hand and patted Qin Mengyao's fragrant shoulder, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Syllable!
Not unlike the turning motion, there was the sound of the holly tree branches snapping, and the snow on the leaves trickled down the cracks and soon piled up in the snow.
Qin Mengyao stared at all this blankly, and a strange thought rose in her mind, secretly wondering, is it a coincidence? Or did he expect the branch to break at this moment?
The picture of Wu Yue turning around kept replaying in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. At least with her clear sword heart, she couldn't tell when the branches would break.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Mengyao shook her head helplessly and sighed, the gap between herself and Wu Yue was getting bigger and bigger.
……
In the evening, the Xining dojo where the meeting of the elders was held, and the representatives of various factions and seed masters came one after another, as the head of the Xining faction as the master, the nine-fingered fragrance village festival wore a gorgeous costume, and stood at the door to receive important people from other factions.
Although the temperature was low, it couldn't stop the joy and enthusiasm on his face.
The eight factions of the righteous path are respected by Shaolin and Changbai, in the past, this kind of grand event was held by two families, and there was nothing to do with his Xining faction, but now it is different from the past, after hugging Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh, the Xining faction rose so fast that people couldn't react.
Now that the momentum is rising, coupled with the fact that all the major sects have gathered in the capital, the time and place are favorable, and the people are on their own side, Zhuang Jie has won a little, so that the eight factions will be held in their own dojos, just taking this opportunity to strengthen the momentum of this faction.
When Wu Yue and Qin Mengyao, who had transformed into noble generals with horses, came to the door of the dojo, Zhuang Jie had just welcomed Xiang Cangsong, the head of the scholarly family, to the hall. Seeing the representatives of the two holy places coming, Dengshi's expression was lifted, and he didn't care about greeting Xiang Cangsong, so he greeted him with great joy.
Wu Yue's arima noble general form once showed his face in the Han Mansion, although all the heads present had never seen it, but they all had their own news channels, combined with the intelligence After a little thought, they guessed his identity.
However, everyone also muttered in their hearts, what does this man named Arima Guijiang have to do with Cihang Jingzhai, and why does he repeatedly walk with Fairy Qin?
What about the rage? Aren't you jealous?
Of course, there are also many people who suspect that General Arima Guijiang is pretending to be Wu Yue, but Qin Mengyao's identity is transcendent, and the two holy places have a great influence among the righteous sects, plus everyone in the audience never thought that she would lie about such a trivial matter, so that it is natural to regard Wu Yue as her own.
