Chapter Forty-Nine: Elder Water's "Clever Plan"
In order to avoid being attacked again, Laiwang accepted Elder Shui's suggestion and tried to let Qian Yi and his party simply move to live in the clan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qian Yi hesitated a little, wouldn't this be a wolf into the tiger's mouth, and under Bai Ling's nose, wouldn't it be easier to start?
Lai Wang said that the most dangerous places are often the safest, and if the mastermind behind the scenes is really Bai Ling, it is inconvenient to start on his own turf. Otherwise, if the mastermind is someone else, then at least so far the murderer has not dared to do anything to the clan, and perhaps there is some invisible force in the clan that is protecting this clan.
Seeing that Qian Yi was still not at ease, Lai Wang said that he promised to send two more clansmen with status and companions, which should be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
Qian Yi thought to himself that his reinforcements didn't know when they would arrive, and it was indeed difficult to rely on his own strength. Although Laiwang's method is a risky move, it may be worth trying.
So, the two sides reached an agreement!
However, this is still the plan that Qian Yi talked about before he came back. After Zhai Biao's tragedy, although Qian Yi was still calm on the surface, he was already in chaos deep inside.
Then came worse news. I don't know if it's because of the rainstorm just now, the first line of heaven at the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Valley suddenly collapsed, and even if they wanted to break through, it would be difficult to reach the sky.
He knew that staying here any longer would be tantamount to sitting still, and now only with the help of Laiwang's power could he salvage the defeat. So he sent someone to inform Laiwang overnight, and he was ready to move the next day.
Laiwang was also secretly surprised when he heard the death of Qian Yi's guard captain, although he and Qian Yi had made a plan, but now the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Fluttershy's disappearance has almost caused him to step down, but he is able to catch his breath by retreating.
But if at this time, let Qian Yi and them move in, this will be ......, it is really a house leak and even rain!
Laiwang asked people to go and invite Elder Shui immediately.
Of course, Lai Wang knew in his heart that in fact, Elder Shui didn't really look up to him.
Elder Water and Elder Fire are really as human as their name, but water and fire are incompatible, and they have been fighting for decades, as long as Elder Fire agrees, Elder Water will make a hindrance from it. Now that the Fire Elder is clearly facing the priest, he has to prosper towards the priest's opponent.
Despite this, in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Lai Wang is obedient to Elder Shui and relies on him very much. Especially after Elder Feng's accident, Lai Wang felt even more lonely, and Elder Shui became his biggest pillar.
Of course, Elder Shui was not simply to help Laiwang, but he felt that if Laiwang's position as the patriarch was not guaranteed, his position in the clan would be shaken. Although Lai Wang is just a stunned young man in his eyes, such a person is easy to manipulate, as long as he uses the position of the patriarch to beat the priest and other elders, he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Lai Wang personally went out and introduced Elder Shui into the study, and after delivering refreshments, he hurriedly told Elder Shui the news that He Wei had brought just now.
Elder Shui also frowned, and was silent for a few minutes.
Laiwang knew that this was his habit, and this situation showed that his brain was spinning rapidly, and he would not easily express his position at this critical moment.
Elder Shui's first reaction when he heard Lai Wang's words was of course negative, now the patriarch himself is difficult to protect, and he wants to break the clan rules and let outsiders come in for refuge?
It's a fantasy!
Moreover, from Bai Ling's point of view, these people are the culprits who brought nightmares to Hundred Flowers Valley, if it weren't for them, how could Fluttershy have disappeared?
However, Elder Shui did not surrender easily, this was not his character, anyway, the more impossible it was for Bai Ling and Old Man Huo to agree, the more he had to find a way to do it.
The question is how?
Elder Shui took a few sips of tea, moistened his throat, and then said, "I don't know what the patriarch thinks about this. ”
Lai Wangxin said, what an old fox, easy not to say anything. But I can't offend him now, so I said humbly: "Little nephew thinks so, although this plan will definitely be greatly opposed, but as the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I still want to take the risk and try." ”
Elder Shui nodded and said, "I know that the patriarch is kind-hearted, but now Bai Ling and Old Man Huo obviously want to fight against us, so we have to think of a complete strategy." ”
Come to Wangxindao, nonsense, that's why I want to discuss with you, you are good, come with me to play Tai Chi. But he said, "Please also ask Shibo for advice." ”
Elder Shui stroked his beard and said, "Originally, it was inconvenient for me to say more at this time, but if I let Old Man Huo know, I would say that I deliberately targeted him. But since the virtuous nephew is here to save people......" He paused, put on a look of determination, and said, "Okay, I'll put this old bone together and help you again." ”
Lai Wang didn't say it, he was secretly funny in his heart, this guy can really pretend, it seems that he is too shallow, and he has the opportunity to learn more from him.
Of course, Elder Shui didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing his respectful appearance, his heart was very useful. So he said with a little pride: "Now that the clan is controlled by Bai Ling and Old Man Huo, others dare to be angry but dare not speak. But I'm a hard guy, and I don't believe in evil. ”
Lai Wang said: "What Shibo said is extremely true, so the little nephew didn't dare to make a decision and wanted to discuss with Shibo." ”
Elder Shui said, "Although it is against the clan rules to let foreigners move in, now the demons are rampant, which is a special situation. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and it ...... As far as the old man knows, in ancient times, his own tribe also used to fight against demons together with other tribes under the guidance of the gods. Now it seems that it has come to this time again, so the distinction between the native and the foreign race should not be so important. ”
Lai Wang's eyes lit up, and he said: "After listening to Shibo's words, the little nephew suddenly opened, since they are threatened by clan rules, we will use oracles to fight." ”
Elder Shui said: "This is called the way of the other, and the body of the other." ”
Lai Wang said: "High, really high!" But if they say that all this is a calamity brought on by foreigners, how do we deal with it? ”
Elder Shui smiled and said, "Everything has a cause and effect, whether it is brought by a foreigner or not, since it has happened, it means that our clan deserves to suffer this, maybe this is God's test for us." ”
Lai Wang said: "However, there is another problem, our village is not big. Mr. Qian estimates that there will be twenty or thirty people on their side, I don't know where they can accommodate it? ”
Elder Shui thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we have a ready-made place, and the place is big enough that it will not affect the lives of our people. ”
Laiwang said: "What is it?" Could it be a temple? ”
Elder Shui said, "The temple is an important place for our clan, and it is impossible for Bai Ling to agree. In addition to the temple, we have a monument that has not been used for many years. ”
Laiwang suddenly realized: "You mean, Wangxingtai? ”
Elder Shui said: "Yes, the old man remembers that the Wangxing Platform is not only very large, but also very high, although it is an ancient ruin, but it is built of huge stones, and it is extremely firm. The old man remembered that there was a rainstorm for several days, and it was more than enough for the clansmen to take shelter there. ”
When Lai Wang heard this, he got up and high-fived and said, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to see Bai Ling and act according to Shibo's plan." ”
So a big deal was settled, but although they thought they were smart, they never thought that this seemingly wonderful plan was the beginning of a nightmare.
