Chapter 41: The Formation of Alliances
Lei Zhenyu looked at everyone who was excited and inexplicable, and said in his heart that if he didn't leave at this time, he quickly explained to Nangong Xiao Chen and then disappeared without a trace, and Sato Xiuyi and the others reacted too late, so angry that they just wanted to scold their mother!
Lei Zhenyu came to the Tulip Pavilion on the fourth floor with a familiar car, which was the place where he and Shangguan Yifeng handed over, and Lei Zhenyu was not disappointed, Shangguan Yifeng was waiting for him inside.
"Boy, you've been very alive lately!" Shangguan Yifeng said sarcastically as soon as he saw Lei Zhenyu's head.
"Damn! Which eye of yours saw that I was happy!" Lei Zhenyu was a little depressed, not knowing what this old guy meant.
"You are a big fish and a big meat every day, and you just participated in some banquet!" Shangguan Yifeng complained and said, in the past few days, he has been sleeping in the open and doing the work of surveillance, this kind of work is the most torturous, you have to wake up when others sleep, and you have to continue to work when others wake up!
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I don't have much time!" Lei Zhenyu didn't bother to talk to him, and asked directly about serious things.
"Your play tonight is really beautiful, and what's even more exciting is that until now, Shangguan Yishui, that thief still doesn't know whether the fireworks are natural disasters or man-made disasters!" Shangguan Yifeng said excitedly.
"This is what I expected, just tell me what you have discovered recently!" Lei Zhenyu said impatiently.
"Young man, give me some patience, with your temperament, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my daughter to you!"
"What the hell is this, can you get down to business!"
"Hmph, if you dare to make my daughter sad, I won't be able to spare you!"
"Please, you're not finished, if you don't have any useful information, I'll leave, I don't have time to spend here!" Lei Zhenyu was extremely depressed at this time, he still had a lot of things to deal with, and he didn't have time to waste it here.
Shangguan Yifeng also seemed to feel that it was enough to stop, he straightened his posture slightly, and then said with a straight face: "Now everyone in Yueqiong City is in danger, and all families have gathered their main forces to deal with possible changes, in the stone port east of Yueqiong City, there are several huge ships moored there, and there are still a few ships floating on the sea, which will dock at any time! I suspect that it is the base of the Orientals." ”
"You don't have to doubt it, it is, but I think it's strange that this Yueqiong City is not in charge of the Situ family? How can you let the Orientals come and go so freely, as if they were their own beach!" Lei Zhenyu asked puzzled.
"The Situ family is in charge of the inner city, but the outer city is beyond the reach of the whip, and the Ximen family is engaged in overseas trade, and it is normal for a few huge ships to be moored in the port. Shangguan Yifeng explained.
I see, it seems that the Simon family has already had different intentions, otherwise they would not have been so well prepared, "I know all this information about you, do you have anything more valuable?"
"I found that you kid is getting more and more difficult, I thought my discovery would make you startled! But do you know who the person who attacked Dugu Lonely tonight is? It's the personal bodyguard next to Shangguan Yishui! I originally wanted to come to the rescue, but the speed was too fast, but fortunately, you Jiren have your own natural appearance!"
Lei Zhenyu was relieved in his heart, so that he didn't have to spend any more energy to track down the identity of that person, as long as he knew which one was the attacker, no matter how strong the other party was, sooner or later he would have to come back with interest!"This information of yours is very important, at least it can show that the role played by Shangguan Hanlun and his son is by no means simple, otherwise there will be no one to save him when he is dying!"
"This analysis of yours makes a lot of sense, I've been tiptoeing behind them since that person rescued Guan Hanlun, do you know what I found? They entered an old mansion, I found that there are a lot of herbs cultivated in this old mansion, although many of these herbs I don't know the name, but there is one I know, that is, the soul grass, this grass is born on the island, extremely rare, I have only seen it in the information before, its use alone is not poisonous, but when it is mixed with other herbs, it can produce highly poisonous, can invade people's cranial nerves, make people nervous delirium reborn, even gods are not spared, the final outcome is self-harm and death! Why do you think he has something to do to grow these herbs that complain about people?"
Lei Zhenyu said in his heart that he knew why he was planting these herbs, but he suddenly faintly caught a clue, "You continue to monitor them, these days are very critical, there must be no mistakes!" Lei Zhenyu directly ordered.
"I know, and boy, I suggest that you have more contact with the Situ family, after all, they have the most elite city defense army in Yueqiong City, if we can borrow their strength, our chances of victory will be greatly increased!"
Lei Zhenyu also makes sense when he thinks about it, if the Ximen family had the ambition to unify Yueqiong City a long time ago, then their hidden dark power really can't be underestimated, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Okay, I'll find a way to communicate with them when I go back, you said that the two of us will assassinate Shangguan Hanlun, is it possible to succeed!" Lei Zhenyu suddenly put forward such a bold idea, because he always felt that Shangguan Hanlun's existence would affect the trend of the overall situation.
"It's hard! But you can try. Shangguan Yifeng was silent for a while and then said.
"Alright, we'll meet outside the old mansion tomorrow night to see if there's anything to do. After speaking, Lei Zhenyu left the heaven and earth and returned to the guest secretary department of the Medicine King Mansion, at this time, the guest secretary department was extremely lively, the two daughters of Shangguan, Dugu Nangong and Murong were all there, and Ouyang Yuxin and Situ Qihao were also there.
"Which one are you doing?" asked Lei Zhenyu inexplicably.
"They're here to form an alliance!" Shangguan Yuxuan said angrily.
Lei Zhenyu suddenly realized that the appearance of the holy mountain was very important, and almost everyone who had the ability wanted to try their luck in it, but there were almost no people who could come out alive if they went in alone, so they had to find an alliance and form a group to enter, so that the chances of survival would be greater. Lei Zhenyu, who was present, was the least familiar with Situ Qihao, so his eyes kept staring at him.
"I've seen Brother Zhenyu, please forgive me for any offending before!" Situ Qihao said a little embarrassed.
"Brother Qi Hao is polite, it's my honor to make you a friend!" Lei Zhenyu said with a smile, he was in the place where Situ Qihao helped at this time, so he was reluctant to send such a person away.
"Haha, it's easy to say, let's not stand still, let's talk about it inside. Murong Zhong laughed, and could see that he had a close relationship with Situ Qihao.
After everyone sat down in the Tianzi No. 2 room on the second floor of the Keqing Department, Murong Zhong spoke first: "In a year, the Holy Mountain will descend on the Magic Mountain Range, which is located in the center of the Continent of the Gods, and the elites of each continent will gather there, including magicians, paladins, elves, dwarves, orcs, Barbarians, etc., I have heard from the older generation that the Holy Mountain is indeed a place worth visiting for our young people, even if it is to death, so we have gathered here tonight to form an alliance to increase our chances of coming back alive, I don't know what you think. ”
After Lei Zhenyu listened, his eyes swept around Shangguan and Murong Yan, and he didn't know why they had to participate in such a dangerous matter.
"As long as Brother Zhenyu goes, I will go!" Shangguan Yuxuan said in a low voice.
"Hmph, you are discriminating against women, why can't we go if you can. Murong Yan said with a big grin.
"Brother Zhenyu, don't worry, the cultivation journey is already full of ups and downs, and going to the Holy Mountain this time may also be a rare experience for them, everything depends on the chance, we don't have to deliberately avoid it. Murong Zhong comforted Lei Zhenyu.
Hey, what else does he have to say after all this is done.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our team members this time are tentatively set to 9 people here, it will take about three months to get from here to the Magic Mountain Range, and it is still under the premise that we must take a time spaceship, so we plan to set off half a year in advance, it is already early winter, we plan to set off at the beginning of summer next year, do you think it is feasible?"
"Did you pass through the Warcraft Forest during this period?" asked Lei Zhenyu.
"In principle, we only take the official road between the major cities, which is safe and fast, why do you want to go to the Warcraft Forest, Brother Zhenyu?" Murong Zhong said to Lei Zhenyu in confusion.
"I have such an idea, but it has not been decided yet, so let's talk about the route in detail later, because we still have a lot of things to do, and only after these things can we go on the road with peace of mind." Lei Zhenyu said to everyone, the holy mountain is indeed attractive to him, but he is also a down-to-earth person, and it is impossible to think about getting involved in other things before the current crisis is resolved.
"Brother Zhenyu is right, all of you here are trustworthy people, Brother Qi Hao may not have much contact with you, but he has been my buddy since he was a child, and you can rest assured that he is a person, so if you have any arrangements, just ask. "Murong Zhong also knew that although the affairs of the Holy Mountain were important, his own home might be destroyed, so what was the use of talking about the Holy Mountain.
"Brother Qi Hao, can you introduce the current situation in Yueqiong City to everyone?" Lei Zhenyu turned to Situ Qi Hao and said.
Situ Qihao looked at everyone, and then said like a few family treasures: "The defense of Yueqiong City mainly has four city gates, namely Yongchang Gate, Dingfu Gate, Taihe Gate and Ding'an Gate, the strength of each gate is about 40,000 to 50,000, the commander has a unified one and two deputies, the commander is served by the people of our Situ family, and the deputy commander is each sent by the Murong family and the Ximen family, which is the basic situation of the city defense of Yueqiong City." ”
"Is that the commander in question had an accident and the command was handed over to the deputy commander?"
"Under normal circumstances, another person is selected from my family to serve as the position, but in wartime or when it is too late to appoint, the deputy commander will serve as the deputy commander!"
The more Lei Zhenyu thought about it, the more frightened he became, he always felt that there must be a problem here, but he couldn't think of the problem, it was less than three days before the medicine refining event held by the Medicine King's Mansion, he had to find the most critical point as soon as possible, otherwise he could only announce his early retreat.
"Yu Yan, you immediately go and gather 300 personal guards, let's go and clear some uncertainties first!" Lei Zhenyu immediately decided, he was now afraid of long nights and dreams.
Shangguan Yuyan looked at Lei Zhenyu, she had completely trusted Lei Zhenyu for no reason at this time, and turned around and left without asking a word.
"Brother Zhenyu, do we need to use those firearms?" Nangong Xiaochen said excitedly.
"No, we still have useful firearms, we have to keep a low profile tonight and do everything we can to eliminate traitors!" Lei Zhenyu commanded.
"Brother Zhenyu, will this startle the grass and snakes?" Murong Zhong said worriedly.
"No, the situation is very urgent now, I suspect that their time is ripe, they are just waiting for an opportunity, we will strike first, the purpose is to disrupt their plans, if we do this, we will definitely die. ”
"No wonder the people of the Ximen family have been so low-key recently, this is very different from their style, it seems that they should have endured it for the sake of the overall situation, I agree with Brother Zhenyu's strategy. Situ Qihao also said at this time.
Lei Zhenyu looked at Situ Qihao in surprise, obviously Situ Qihao's thoughts coincided with him, it seems that this son is really not simple.
"Since that's the case, let's do it!" Murong Zhong finally agreed.
