122 Be reasonable
Meng Xiuyuan didn't hesitate, he did what he said, and took Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao to prepare to go out of the valley that afternoon.
The three of them didn't have much to pack, but each of them carried a small bag, some clothes, dry food, and fruits from the grain.
"It's a pity that this season's wheat has not had time to be harvested, and it will rot in the ground...... It's just a little more this year."
Xiao Zhao looked at the small golden wheat field on the flat ground in front of the house, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
After living in this valley for five years, Meng Xiuyuan and others naturally did not only eat wild fruit barbecue. Earlier, Meng Xiuyuan went out to buy some seeds, and also planted some wheat in this grain as food.
On weekdays, most of this kind of thing is worried about by Xiao Zhao, and he never gets tired of it.
Of course, people who are not familiar with Xiao Zhao heard her words, maybe she was really just distressed about food. But Meng Xiuyuan knew that this was not the case.
Xiao Zhao is more, in fact, he may still have some nostalgia for life in this valley.
After all, since she was born, due to family reasons, she has lived a life of exile and fear, and the four years in this snow-capped mountain and green valley have been the most stable and happy days for her.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan could understand the little girl's mind very well, so he gently patted her shoulder and comforted:
"Xiao Zhao, in fact, you can stay in this valley by yourself first, and when we come back from the Bright Peak, I will pick you up again.
Anyway, it's all along the way, and it doesn't take much effort.
There will be no danger and fighting on this trip, and it will definitely be safer for you to stay here."
When Xiao Zhao heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, and pulled Meng Xiuyuan's sleeve a little anxiously:
"No, I'm going to follow Childe, and I'll go wherever Childe goes.
When Gongzi took over the "Great Shift", we had a deal.
said that as long as I didn't leave on my own initiative, the boy would always let me stay by my side and keep me safe......
is such a powerful hero, how can he regret his words?"
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, only thinking that this Xiao Zhao was indeed very cute.
It's just that before he could answer, Zhou Zhiruo next to him couldn't help but take Xiao Zhao's hand, which was originally holding Meng Xiuyuan, squeezed between the two, and said:
"Don't worry, Zhao. Master has never failed to count when he speaks."
As she spoke, she turned to Meng Xiuyuan with a little stiffness, and said tentatively:
"Master, when you go out of the valley and climb the mountain, I'll take Xiao Zhao with you.
After all, she is also a big girl, and it is not appropriate for you to hold her......
Meng Xiuyuan knew that what Zhou Zhiruo said was reasonable, but then he glanced at the snow-capped mountains around him, thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head:
"After all, safety is important, this mountain wall is too steep and dangerous to mess around.
With your current internal strength and light skills, even if you want to climb out of the valley, you will almost be completely unable to do it.
Bring another Xiao Zhao, that's no different from looking for death.
It's better for us to be on the safe side."
Zhou Zhiruo pursed her mouth when she heard this, and couldn't find a reason to refute Meng Xiuyuan.
……
Half an hour later, the three of them stood under a snow-capped mountain cliff, still Meng Xiuyuan was still holding Xiao Zhao in his arms, and a strong rope was connected between him and Zhou Zhiruo, and each end was tied around their waists.
"Be careful." Meng Xiuyuan said lightly, then said no more, and took the lead in leaping up on tiptoe and landing on the rock wall. Zhou Zhiruo followed behind him, with the assistance of the rope, carefully tracing the trail and climbing.
Originally, Meng Xiuyuan thought that with such a way of climbing the mountain, with Zhou Zhiruo's kung fu at this time, there should be no problem.
But after only climbing for a while, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly heard "Ah!" from below. exclaimed, and at the same time, the rope around his waist tightened, and his body couldn't help but fall down.
He hurriedly pulled out the True Martial Sword at his waist at the last moment, and used the kung fu of "Zixiao Sword Qi" to thump, and with a "scandium" sound, he inserted most of the sword body into the rock wall, and stopped it with his strength
Falling tendency.
At this time, when he looked down the tight rope, it turned out that Zhou Zhiruo had completely broken away from the rock wall and was hanging in the air, obviously getting rid of his hands during the climb.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan did not panic, after all, although such a situation was a bit unexpected for him, it was not dangerous at all.
Let Xiao Zhao hold himself tightly, Meng Xiuyuan changed to holding the sword in his left hand, and twisted the rope with his right arm in a circle, and quickly pulled Zhou Zhiruo up.
"It's alright, Zhiruo." Meng Xiuyuan saw clearly at this time that Zhou Zhiruo's two hands were already drenched in blood, which should be the injuries left when he got rid of his hands on the rock wall.
"I'm sorry, Master, it's me...... I was careless." Zhou Zhiruo's voice trembled slightly, and she lowered her head so that Meng Xiuyuan couldn't see her expression.
"It's okay, there's no need to say that, just hold me tight."
As Meng Xiuyuan spoke, he held Zhou Zhiruo's thigh with his right hand and lifted it up, letting him lie on his back.
In this way, he took a girl in front of him and a girl in front of him, and continued to climb this steep and dangerous peak.
Fortunately, compared with five years ago, Meng Xiuyuan's body at this time has been greatly strengthened, and he has practiced the kung fu of "The Great Shift of Qiankun", so with the combined use of qi and strength, climbing on this cliff is not a problem at all, and he quickly crossed the mountain.
After landing safely, Meng Xiuyuan saw that Zhou Zhiruo's face was flushed and her expression was uncertain, so he didn't stimulate her anymore.
Although I don't know what happened to her mind at the time, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to criticize it again, I think she will remember the lesson herself.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan just asked Xiao Zhao to help Zhou Zhiruo take care of the wound on his hand, and then he was ready to continue to set off with the two of them.
However, when Xiao Zhao treated the wound on Zhou Zhiruo's hand, his eyes were always a little strange. looked at Zhou Zhiruo's hand for a while, looked at Zhou Zhiruo's expression for a while, and secretly turned his head to look at Meng Xiuyuan for a while, as if he also had something on his mind.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to these details, all he was thinking about at this time was what was about to happen on the top of the light.
……
After the three of them set off again, they went straight to Hongmei Villa.
Because according to the plan, there should have been people waiting for them by now.
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Xiuyuan entered Zhuangzi, he saw that the disciples of the Kunlun and Emei factions were busy carrying supplies, and many of them had a relationship with Meng Xiuyuan, and even recognized him as the famous Wudang Sect Zixiao Divine Sword.
"Meng Shaoxia!" "I've seen Meng Shaoxia" "Meng Shaoxia, the head of the house, they are resting in the courtyard, please come in."
Everyone put down the work in their hands and saluted Meng Xiuyuan respectfully.
Seeing that they were so polite, Meng Xiu naturally returned the salute with a smile. It's just that in my heart, I'm a little unaccustomed.
It may be that he has been in the valley for a long time, and when he sees so many people, he feels a little noisy.
It's just that Meng Xiuyuan didn't dwell on this kind of trivial matter for too long. Soon he returned to his state, and under the leadership of a Kunlun disciple, he went to the other courtyard and met the two main masters.
"Master He, Extermination Master, I haven't seen you for a long time."
He Taichong and Exterminator Taitai were standing in the courtyard chatting about something at this time, and their faces were a little serious, but they didn't notice him until Meng Xiuyuan spoke up.
"Oh? It's a great thing that Meng Shaoxia arrived so soon."
When He Taiyuan saw Meng Xiuyuan, the expression on his face instantly became very happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
After the last "Bat Extermination Conference", he not only completely forgot the grudge with Meng Xiuyuan in the past, but also attached great importance to this young man who was extremely skilled in kung fu.
And the rather cautious extinction saw Meng Xiuyuan, he was not so polite, only snorted lightly, and tilted his head to the side.
Obviously, the refusal to marry on Mount Emei and the forced release of Ji Xiaofu by force made Meng Xiuyuan leave a very bad impression in her heart.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't care about this, he only smiled and nodded to them separately, and then asked:
"There are still three days left before the agreed time, Emei and Kun
Lun came early, and it was really hard.
I wonder if there is any news of the remaining factions, where have they gone?"
When He Taichong heard this, he immediately replied to Meng Xiuyuan with a smile:
"Meng Shaoxia is polite, my Kunlun faction is so close to this Red Plum Villa, even if it is half a host, it is also appropriate to come early to make some preparations.
However, Shitai and the colleagues of the Emei faction came so early, it must have been hard work on the road.
The vanguard of Kongtong and Huashan had just arrived, and it was said that the large army should arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Shaolin walked a little slower on the road because of the large number of people on this trip, but it should not exceed the agreed deadline three days later.
Only Wudang, as if there was no message yet...... But if you want to come to Meng Shaoxia, you should be clear."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, and just wanted to say something more, but suddenly heard the cold voice of Extermination:
"Hmph, I think the people of the Wudang Sect are not of the same mind as us.
At that time, when the various factions were contacted to besiege the Demon Sect together, it was the Wudang faction that was the most hesitant, and in the end, it was the representatives of the five factions who went up to Wudang Mountain together, which made them reluctantly agree.
As a result, I heard that only Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu were sent on the road, and they accompanied them with a few third-generation disciples.
What difference does it make if such a lineup comes or doesn't?"
Meng Xiuyuan was happy when he heard this, and he didn't get too angry with the exterminator, so he only looked at her with a lot of anger and said:
"Mrs. Shi, please rest assured, don't say that there are still a few people from my Wudang faction on the way, but the last one doesn't come, so what.
It's enough to have myself here."
When the exterminator heard this, although he was still angry, he only kept silent with a bitter face, and did not dare to say anything sarcastic.
After all, thinking of Meng Xiuyuan's past achievements, she understood that Meng Xiuyuan's words were not exaggerated at all.
On the side, He Taichong heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, and also agreed very much, and hurriedly nodded and said:
"Yes, with Meng Shaoxia here, it is an extremely stable layer of protection.
At that time, if the Demon Sect is weak and wants us to fight one by one according to the rules of martial arts, it will be a dead end.
No matter what masters they come up with and fight with us, they will definitely not be Meng Shaoxia's opponents......
Meng Xiuyuan heard He Taichong so complimented, and clenched his fists slightly at him according to etiquette, and said politely, "Master He has won the award."
By this time, Meng Xiuyuan had already understood almost everything he wanted to ask, and he was going to say goodbye.
But the exterminator was still full of doubts in his heart, staring at him and unwilling to relax, he asked rhetorically:
"I don't know why the Wudang faction has to gather our six factions in this Hongmei Villa, what are their plans.
Could it be that you Wudang faction only has such a few people, and you still want to compete with Shaolin to be the leader and lead this grand event of "six major factions besieging Guangmingding"?"
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile again when he heard this, and then said with a little disdain:
"Don't worry, Master, my Wudang Sect doesn't have any intention of fighting for credit.
The reason why you are gathered here is simply to make your moves go well.
The specific reason, when everyone is ready, I will naturally explain."
After speaking, Meng Xiuyuan turned around and left.
……
Sure enough, for three days, Meng Xiuyuan only stayed in the room and never showed up again.
It wasn't until three days later that the six factions gathered in this Hongmei Villa, and even Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu, who had no news before, also arrived, and Meng Xiuyuan was invited to the reception room to discuss the action plan with the representatives of each faction.
"Meng Shaoxia, at this time, everyone has arrived, what are your plans, say it quickly."
The heads and elders of the various factions were anxious to discuss the main matter, and they couldn't help but urge.
Seeing this, Meng Xiu didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly to everyone present:
"Ladies and gentlemen, then I'll make a long story short.
In this operation, I hope that everyone will be able to follow my command and act according to my orders.
For I know a secret passage to the top of the light
From there, you can bypass the opponent's defenses and reach the opponent's lair."
Originally, when everyone present heard Meng Xiuyuan say "listen to my command and act according to my orders", they were all angry in their hearts and wanted to argue with Meng Xiuyuan.
But when they heard the words "secret passage" and "go straight to the other party's lair", they all immediately calmed down, and looked at Meng Xiuyuan in disbelief.
After a long time, the Shaolin Kongzhi Monk asked on behalf of everyone:
"Meng Shaoxia, this matter is very important, it's not that we don't believe you, but you have to come up with some evidence......
Meng Xiuyuan had long expected that they would say this, and immediately took out a few drawings from his arms, all of which were carefully drawn by Xiao Zhao with his memory.
"It's no secret, over the years, I happened to have some intersections with the purple-shirted dragon king of the Ming Sect."
As he spoke, he roughly explained the leakage of the identity of Granny Dai Qisi Jinhua and the cripple of the three envoys of the Persian Sect Fengyunyue. It's just that in order to protect Xiao Zhao, the part related to her was hidden in it.
"That's ......?"
Everyone present listened to Meng Xiuyuan say so calmly, and saw that the drawings were carefully drawn and did not seem to be fake, so most of them believed his words in their hearts.
Immediately, everyone deliberately picked on the thorns and asked some detailed questions, but they were still answered by Meng Xiuyuan one by one, and nothing went wrong.
At this point, no one has raised any doubts, and the dust has settled on the plan.
After the rest of the factions is completed within a day and a half, they will set off to raid the Bright Peak.
……
Taking advantage of this kung fu in the middle, Yu Daiyan and Mo Shenggu hurriedly pulled Meng Xiuyuan to a secluded corner and asked him very suspiciously:
"Little junior brother, didn't the letter you sent back say that you want to dissuade those five factions, so that they don't have to embarrass the Ming Sect, and everyone works together to resist the Yuan?
Why is it now said that they have found a secret passage to take them to raid the Bright Peak Altar?
Did someone forge your letter, or did we not understand the purpose of your letter?"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he knew the incomprehension in the hearts of the two senior brothers, and patiently explained:
"Don't worry, it's true, you can see it.
I took them through the secret passage to smash the Yellow Dragon, in fact, so that both sides would suffer less losses.
After all, if you think about it, if you start the fight with real swords and guns, and the disciples of both sides fight head-on during this period, how many people will die before there will be an end?"
When Mo Shenggu heard this, he still shook his head, and then asked:
"But when you get to the top of the light, don't you want to fight?
Even if you directly face those high-level figures of the Ming Sect, the two sides will still have to go to war after all.
Do you think that you can persuade them by speaking reasonably?"
Meng Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, and said confidently to Mo Shenggu:
"Hahaha, don't worry, Senior Brother Seven, when the two sides get together, I will naturally have a way to make peace with them.
My five years in this Kunlun Mountain have not been in vain.
The ability to "reason" has increased a lot of ......."
As he spoke, the smile on Meng Xiuyuan's face became brighter and brighter, and he unconsciously rubbed his fist.
Although I don't know what happened to her mind at the time, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to criticize it again, I think she will remember the lesson herself.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan just asked Xiao Zhao to help Zhou Zhiruo take care of the wound on his hand, and then he was ready to continue to set off with the two of them.
However, when Xiao Zhao treated the wound on Zhou Zhiruo's hand, his eyes were always a little strange. looked at Zhou Zhiruo's hand for a while, looked at Zhou Zhiruo's expression for a while, and secretly turned his head to look at Meng Xiuyuan for a while, as if he also had something on his mind.

Finish.
