【Chapter 79】Persuasion
As soon as Lao Meng's words fell, a loud noise suddenly came.
Yu Moji's sense of direction was not very good after all, and he didn't hear where the sound came from for a while; Yuan Pingzhi and Ling Ai glanced at each other, and their expressions were obviously a little wrong.
Jin Niang was about to run out almost immediately, but she quickly calmed down, looked at Lao Meng deeply, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Lao Meng only shook his head in silence. It seems that he did not expect this either.
Jin Niang said, "Can you take us out?" You must also be able to hear that this sound is coming from near the Sealed Dragon Pool, and it sounds like some kind of Yanbei weapon. I'm worried that Lu Chen will be in danger. ”
Only then did Yu Mojin understand why the reactions of several people present were so serious.
Ling Ai nodded on the side and continued, "Of course, I and Yizhi can also find a way out, but we are not as familiar with the road here as your predecessor. What she meant was that if Lao Meng didn't want to lead the way, they would also have a way to break out.
In today's situation, Lao Meng actually doesn't have any advantage.
Lao Meng was still a little hesitant. Rao is sluggish can also be seen from the ink marks, this cave is full of traps and traps set by Lao Meng, and it has become a territory that only he can fully control. Once he leaves the cave and loses the help of these ingenious designs, Lao Meng will have no chance to take revenge on Lu Chen with his bare hands.
Jin Niang looked at Lao Meng's expression, sighed, and said, "You don't want Lu Chen to die at the hands of others." ”
Jin Niang is worthy of being Lao Meng's old friend and knows Lao Meng's mood quite well. Lao Meng heard this and finally agreed to her request.
With Lao Meng leading the way, this nine-curved loop of karst caves is much easier to walk. Several people lined up in a row, stepping on the footsteps of their predecessors in turn, but they didn't touch a single mechanism.
Rao was so, and the incessant ringing still made it impossible for them to relax. Especially Jin Niang's face is already full of anxiety. Yu Moji even noticed that even Ling Ai, who was in front of her, never relaxed the arquebus in his hand.
Ling Ai and Yu Moji actually have a lot of similarities. For example, they are unwilling to surrender all the power to control their own destiny to others.
Walking through a karst cave, the road suddenly opened up. As soon as Yu Moji looked up, he saw that there was already the cold and cold Sealed Dragon Pond with Yan armor hidden underwater.
It's just that the water is not as calm as it was when they came. The monitoring room on the side has obviously been violently destroyed with some kind of weapon, and the ruins left behind are very shocking. Yu Mochen couldn't help but be a little worried about Lu Chen, is she, the teacher, alive or dead at this moment?
Above them, someone was trying to shoot the silent mirage underwater with some kind of armor weapon. The huge ammunition flashed in front of Yu Moji's eyes, judging from the model of this ammunition, compared to the weapon used by this person, Ling Ai's arquebus could only be regarded as a child's household toy.
The rock wall overhead protected the pedestrians, but it also blocked their view. Yu Moji couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person could have such a weapon? Could it be the Yanshi in the Cardinal's House?
Lao Meng frowned, and whispered a name, "Xu Da." ”
Jin Niang's face immediately showed a bit of anger, "You said that the person who fired this fire is Xu Da?" ”
Lao Meng nodded helplessly, "I have nothing to hide from you." With the shape and operation of this weapon, you must be able to see whose handiwork. Xu Da loved to use heavy swords when he was young, and he always liked these overly rough designs, and he refused to change them when he was old. ”
Jin Niang was obviously not in the mood to discuss the design style of the Yanjia weapon with him, "What's going on?" She asked, guessing, "Are you dragging us here one by one, in fact, just a trick?" What do you really want to do, in fact, leave Lu Chen alone to face Xu Da? ”
"Ah Jin, if you don't believe me anymore now, I won't have anything to say. After all, I kidnapped you first. Our friendship for so many years now seems to be ruined by me. Lao Meng smiled bitterly, "But I really don't know Xu Da's whereabouts." I even told him that I was going on a long trip, and I didn't tell him about it. ”
Yuan Pingzhi sighed and said, "Father, you and Mr. Xu have spent so many years together, and the two sides are heart-to-heart, don't you still understand the tacit understanding between each other?" The plan in your heart, even if you deliberately cover it up, it is impossible to hide it from Mr. Xu after all. ”
He was clearly motivated by this. Ling Ai stood aside, smiled and patted Yu Moji, and whispered in her ear, "Only people with families will have so many burdens, but the two of us are still waiting for the girl, but there is not so much trouble, right?" ”
When Yu Moji heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little untimely sour in his heart, but he could only look at Ling Ai helplessly. Lu Chen's life and death are uncertain, how can this girl still have the leisure to joke?
Ling Ai seemed to understand her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's really confusing if you care." Don't you see that there doesn't look like there's anyone in the bombed-up monitoring room? I think Mr. Lu was worried about Jin Niang after all, so he should have personally gone down to the mirage to investigate, but he didn't expect to escape because of this. ”
There is no way to tell if there is anyone in it based on the ruins of the monitoring room. In front of Ling Ai, she felt that she was simply ignorant.
Jin Niang was really relieved, and said to Lao Meng, "Even though I have been friends with you for many years, I have never been very familiar with Xu Da. The person who can persuade him to stop now ......" She glanced at Yuan Yizhi, but turned her gaze back to Lao Meng, "I'm afraid it's only you." ”
Lao Meng said, "Xu Da finally came to take revenge in person, why should I persuade him to cease fire?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the originally immovable mirage under the water move, and immediately blocked several people behind him. The next moment, the mirage spat out its long arm, and a cannonball fired out of it, hitting the rock wall near them.
It seems that Lu Chen finally can't hold his breath.
Lao Meng's eyes immediately turned red, and he was about to rush out.
Jin Niang grabbed him and said loudly, "Don't you see that Lu Chen deliberately missed the direction?" He has no intention of hurting Xu Da at all, don't go crazy with it. ”
However, in this case, Lao Meng may only have Xu Da in his heart, and he will definitely not think about Lu Chen anymore.
Ling Ai sighed and was about to step forward, but Yuan Pingzhi stepped forward and gave Lao Meng a hand knife.
Ling Ai: "...... You're really good at it, that's your dad. ”
Yuan Pingzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If I don't make a move, I'm afraid you'll have to be drugged - Mrs. Ling's medicine eats away at the heart, I might as well let my father suffer a little flesh and skin." ”
Ling Ai said helplessly, "I still have a sense of proportion in dealing with my seniors. Having said that, seeing that Lao Meng had fainted, she went with Yuan Yi.
Yu Moji was frightened by the cannonball, and he had just recovered his strength. She only felt that these people were really entangled, as if everyone was in a dilemma, each with their own position, each with their own concerns, only she was an outsider who was inexplicably involved.
But since we've been unfortunately implicated, why not just take advantage of it?
She moved her fingers, gave herself courage, and said, "Why don't I go." Xu Fuzi and Lu Shifan...... Both of them are my teachers after all, and I can't bear to watch them. Besides, the two of them and I have some teacher-student friendship after all, maybe ...... Maybe it won't be difficult for me. ”
Since Yuan Yizhi appeared in the cave, he has never paid special attention to the ink marks. At this moment, he heard this, and the usual gaze with three points of warmth finally fell on Yu Moji. He said gently, "Xiao Yu's words reminded me. As far as I am concerned, how can the two of them not have the grace of preaching and teaching? I'll go with you. ”
When Yu Moji spoke before, he just held on to a lot of courage. After all, both sides of the firing in front of her had heavy weapons in their hands, and if she was not careful, she might be injured by mistake, and she was more or less afraid in her heart; But at this moment, Yuan took the initiative to accompany her, and her hanging heart was slowly put down.
She didn't know how much ability Yuan had to protect her. It's just that all the time, her trust in this person has reached the point of excess.
Yu Moji nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”
Jin Niang looked at Lao Meng, who had not yet woken up, and couldn't seem to think of a better way at the moment, so she nodded in agreement. Ling Ai handed the arquebus to Yu Mojian and said, "If I appear outside, I'm afraid I will also make Mr. Xu unhappy." You've learned how to use firearms, so take this arquebus with you, just in case. ”
Yu Moji nodded. She actually didn't quite understand why Ling Ai didn't give the arquebus to Yuan Zhizhi. However, with the relationship between Yuan Yuan and the two masters who were in the middle of the war, it was likely to be an extremely difficult thing for him to shoot.
Yuan Pingzhi only glanced at Lao Meng, didn't speak again, and walked out with Yu Moji.
Fortunately, both sides of the war were not unreasonable people, and as soon as Yuan Pingzhi and Yu Moji were exposed to their field of vision, both sides temporarily ceased fire.
Yu Moji breathed a sigh of relief, looked up to find the location of Master Xu, and saw that the old man was rarely wrapped in heavy armor and had a weapon on his shoulder, which might be a few points heavier than himself, and he couldn't help but sigh very emotionally. She stepped forward and saluted from afar, and said in a loud voice, "Master Xu, do you still recognize the student?" ”
With a "click", Xu Da put down his visor, looked at her a few times, and said, "Yes, she looks a little girly now." ”
When Yu Moji heard this, he only smiled bitterly. Xu Fuzi's view of women is always so stubborn and rigid.
She thought about it for a moment, and then said in a loud voice, "Although this is not the time to talk about this, Master, your words are really unfair. As I said a long time ago, I didn't devote myself to the study of Yanjia to ...... Get married. In the past year or so, even if there has been some growth, it should be above the academic growth, but the master has only paid attention to it...... Noticing the changes in my appearance really discouraged me. ”
These words do come from the heart. If there was only Xu Da in the audience, it might be smoother. However, now that Yuan is by his side, Yu Moji's cowardly stumble accidentally shows his head.
It's just that the words have been spoken, and there is absolutely no room for retraction. Even if Yu Moji did not perform well, it could only be like this.
Xu Da still looked disdainful, "Huangkou Xiaoer, it's just a shame." He said this, but his tone gradually softened.
Yu Mochen pondered Xu Da's thoughts, and estimated that he might have a few opportunities, so he said, "I came boldly this time, just because I had a few words, and I wanted to ask Master Xu to comment on whether there was any reason." I also hope that the master will put down his weapon and listen to my nonsense for the sake of me risking death. ”
"If you come to persuade me to let Lu Chen go, then you don't have to." Xu Da was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "I didn't plan to accept Lu Chen's life. ”
