Chapter 65
Time back to the present, after sealing the Holy Maiden's memory incident, Qicai ordered to block the news about the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden, and he handled it very secretly, even Mo Ran, who was good at finding information, did not know that the daughter of the previous patriarch had returned.
However, Mo Ran was very cunning after all, as early as a few days ago, he had sent someone to inquire about the news from the fishermen who had witnessed the disembarkation of the disguised Tianzhao Sect merchant ship, and learned that the Tianzhao Sect had captured a woman from Middle Earth, although it was impossible to confirm the identity of this person, but the Tianzhao Sect disciples were extremely respectful to this woman. His intuition told him that Colorful was secretly playing tricks on him.
Seven years ago, Qicai only relied on his sanctioners to rob the three criminals in the field of law A scene is still vivid, those three people are Mo Ran's mentor, comrade-in-arms and enemies, in Mo Ran's opinion, Qicai is openly against him, he admits that Qicai as the leader of the world's number one terrorist organization sect has some strength, but he is not a vegetarian, he used to be patient with the Tianzhao Sect to rescue his enemy's daughter, but now he has enough strength to fight with the Tianzhao Sect.
In fact, for more than ten years, Mo Ran has been trying every means to obtain information about the Tianzhao Sect, his cronies are all over the city, and he has successfully found out that the branch altar of the Tianzhao Sect is located in the Lianfu Cave in Puling Valley, but it is only because of the divine power of the Dream Stone that he cannot launch a full-scale attack, so he can only wait for a better time.
The tension between the two sides lasted for a long time, but just three days ago, a very shocking news came out: the world's first biological weapon was born. This means that Qicai has taken the lead in waiting for the opportunity, more than ten years of reconnaissance and confrontation has made him familiar with Mo Ran's military deployment, and the next thing is to formulate a plan to seize the Black Death Gas sample, if the Tianzhao Sect can successfully possess this weapon, it will undoubtedly shake the hegemony in the world, he calls this weapon the artifact of the holy war of this sect, and all the Tianzhao Sect disciples will take it at all costs.
In order to avoid Mo Ran's ears and eyes, Qicai came to a tavern, ordered a tea by the window, and walked to the shopkeeper who came to ask if he wanted to order, and then sat on the bench next to him, playing with the building block tower with his left hand.
"Oh, you're here, do you want to play a game together!" a black fold floated under Rainbow's eyelids, and he guessed the man's identity without looking up.
Seeing that Qicai made a gesture of please, Hei Yan sat down on a table and chair opposite him, and did not say a word for a long time.
"You seem to have something on your mind, you might as well tell me to hear it, since everyone believes in the Tianzhao Sect, there is no distinction between high and low, and my position as the sect leader is just a false name. Qicai concentrated on arranging the block tower neatly, and then pulled out the block on the right side of the third layer, "As the sanctioner of the Tianzhao Sect, you have unfettered freedom of action under the condition of following the teachings, even if you want to fight Mo Ran alone, I will not have an opinion." ”
"Sect Master, you're too worried, I'm just worried about whether I can protect my sister by doing this. As he spoke, he pulled out the block on the left side of the penultimate floor, and placed it horizontally on the top floor of the tower in a colorful manner.
"Hey! here it is again, didn't we say that this is the end of the matter in advance?" Qicai boldly pulled out the wooden block in the middle of the fifth layer, and the building block tower did not collapse after shaking it twice, "Next, you should think about how to deal with this old fox Mo Ran, don't you want to avenge your father?"
"No, I can't wait to cut Mo Ran with a thousand knives!" Hei Er was also very brave enough to draw the wooden block in the middle of the sixth layer, but when he did this, the center of gravity of the building block tower was even more unstable, and he thought that the next round of colorful estimates would be lost. ”
"To be honest, Mo Ran is indeed a very powerful opponent, and he can always be one step ahead of me in many aspects. Colorful smiled lightly, pulled out the block on the left side of the third layer, and placed it on the right side of the top floor, so that the center of gravity of the building block tower has been seriously tilted to the right, but the magic is that it still hasn't collapsed, "But I will win in the end, do you understand why?"
"Why?" Hei Er also learned to pull out the block in the middle of the fourth floor, and at that moment, the block tower collapsed with a "click".
"The principle is like a building block tower game, the contest is patience and skill, and whoever loses his breath first will lose. Qicai put the building blocks into his pocket one by one, "Mo Ran researched biological weapons regardless of the danger, and he will only completely bury himself." ”
After a few moments, the heavy sound of leather boots on the wooden floor came from the right side of the two, and Hei Er looked up to see Brilliant Blue
came to Qicai with a solemn face.
"You're here, what's going on over there?"
Brilliant Blue leaned over to Colorful and whispered a few words, too small for Hei Yan to hear.
"Very good, the time has come to gather all the Heavenly Zhao Sect members in two days and launch a general attack on Mo Ran. Qicai took the topographic map of Jialian Mountain handed over by Brilliant Blue, and pointed to a small red dot marked on the map, "This is the destination of this operation, Jialian Mountain Laboratory." He drew two dotted lines on both sides of the mountainside with his hands, "Due to the rugged terrain of Jialian Mountain, only the east and west sides are relatively flat, so we will attack from here, and the Black Brother, Brilliant Blue, and Huang Tian will lead the sect to attack from the east, with the aim of taking the Black Death poison gas sample, and I will sneak in from the west alone, considering the size of the guards, it will be a tough battle." ”
"The sect leader's established strategy is understandable, but why don't you choose to sneak attack at night?
"You underestimate Mo Ran too much, he can think of anything I can think of. The terrain of Jialian Mountain is conducive to setting up various traps and obstacles, and it is difficult to find people at night when the visual distance becomes shorter, and Mo Ran will definitely take advantage of this to cause a large number of casualties on our side, and there is no other way than to fight head-to-head this time. ”
"Oh, by the way, Brilliant Blue, there is a good saying, 'If you want to defeat their enemies, they will mess with their hearts' This thing must be done by you. Qicai stretched out his index finger and said with a smile, "You write a crusade against Mo Ran for me, expose all the crimes committed by Mo Ran, and make a solemn argument and take the lead." ”
"Okay, I'll do it. Brilliant Blue bowed and withdrew.
"I'd like to see what you'll do this time?" Colorful muttered to herself, taking a sip of tea on the table.
The next day, the front pages of the major newspapers in Glaze Island City carried such a major news: The Tianzhao Sect declared war on the Glaze Island government! The content was an essay written by Xuan Lan to crusade against Mo Ran, "For the Sect Leader Mo Ran Wen", which listed in detail the three major crimes of Mo Ran: 1. The massacre of the common people in the name of eradicating the black spot disease in the West Street of Glaze Island; 2. The bloody suppression of the revolutionary movement and the killing of loyal and righteous people. 3. Secretly researching weapons of mass destruction for their own selfish desires.
For a time, this article caused a sensation in the whole city, and people in the streets and alleys were discussing the authenticity of what was said in the article, and the people's hearts began to waver, and more and more people questioned their government, and the government exchanged people's good life in a cruel way, which violated the principles of heaven and must not be recognized.
In particular, the last sentence of the text: "Everyone in the world wants peace and tranquility, but is today's tranquility really as it seems?" This sentence seems to speak people's hearts, although there are still some people who choose to believe in Mo Ran, but they do not hear any voice of Mo Ran's refutation.
The people living at the bottom of the society were even more agitated, and they spontaneously organized demonstrations against the government, from the slums to the downtown areas, the procession gradually expanded, and the Tianzhao followers took the opportunity to blend in with the procession and incite the demonstrators, and when the procession reached North Street, the march turned into a riot, and a large number of people armed with sticks began to storm the patriarch's residence and scuffle with the guards.
The news quickly reached Mo Ran's ears, who was far away in the Jialian Mountain laboratory, and he angrily tore the newspaper to shreds: "Okay, you are colorful, you actually used such means to deal with me, but don't be complacent, the good show is still to come." ”
Xiangxiang on the side looked even more panicked, and hurriedly saluted: "Patriarch, please quickly dispatch people to strengthen the guards of the official residence, otherwise the official residence will be destroyed by the masses." ”
"If you take tough measures against the demonstrators, you will only be in the heart of Qicai, so won't I indirectly admit my crime?" Mo Ran shook his hand and said, "What's more, it is implied in this article that the target of the Tianzhao Sect is the Jialian Mountain Laboratory, and strengthening the garrison here is the key, if those demonstrators want to make trouble, let them make trouble, in terms of military strength, we have an advantage over the Tianzhao Sect, and public opinion alone cannot help Qicai." ”
So Mo Ran ordered all the troops in Glaze Island City to gather near Jialian Mountain, and ordered them to build all kinds of fortifications, he speculated that Qicai would not be able to launch an attack until at least tomorrow, and the army of Glazed Island mobilized at the fastest speed was more than 50,000 people, which was more than enough to deal with less than 10,000 Tianzhao Sect disciples, plus Jialian Mountain's high road was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even Yu Caiyi, who had always been cautious, thought that Qicai could not win this time.
The sample of the Black Death Poison Gas promised by Yu Caiyi to Mo Ran was hidden in a very safe place, and there was an extremely terrifying killing mechanism inside, even if he cultivated to a high level, he would not escape death.
After receiving the reply from his subordinates with his life as a guarantee, Mo Ran still did not see the slightest joy on his face, he had deeper concerns, although he had already known Qicai's intentions, but he couldn't figure out Qicai's next move, so he felt a headache.
"Patriarch, what's wrong with you, I don't see your face very good. Xiang Xiang stepped forward and asked with concern.
Mo Ran rubbed his temples and said, "I'm fine, didn't you say that if the black death solution in the laboratory leaks out, it will cause a deep disaster to the entire Glaze Island?"
Xiangxiang thought for a while and said, "Well, there is such a thing, but Qicai is not your opponent at all, so you don't have to worry." ”
"No, you're right, biological weapons are indeed a 'double-edged sword'. Mo Ran hugged Xiangxiang's shoulders with some excitement, "For the sake of the lives of the people in the city, I want you to promise me to stop Qicai from destroying the jar of black death solution at all costs." ”
"Originally, you shouldn't have let Yu Caiyi study the Black Death Poison Gas, but now it's okay, someone has caught us. Xiang snorted coldly and said, "I chose to follow you because I believed that you could bring us a better future for the Wei clan, but we have sacrificed too much along the way, is it really worth it?"
"For the sake of the Wei clan, there is no worthiness or not, only willingness. Mo Ran looked up at the ceiling and smiled bitterly, "Without absolute evil, it is impossible to arouse the goodness in people's hearts, and the government should do all the evil things because of the interests of the people." ”
Mo Ran frowned helplessly and opened the door: "Alas, you don't understand it!"
