173 Demon Cult 2
Yao Rong returned to the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and sent someone to find the Right Protector.
The right protector had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a knock on the door outside, and he was holding back the fire when he went to open the door.
Knowing that it was Yao Rong looking for him, most of the right protector's anger dissipated, and he went to see Yao Rong with a strong spirit.
The sky was clear and the sun was shining, Yao Rong sat by the lake, blowing a cold wind, took out a little bait from the bowl and sprinkled it into the lake.
Fish scramble to the surface, scrambling for these foods.
"The Pavilion Master seems to be in a good mood?" The Right Dharma Protector stepped forward with a smile.
Yao Rong handed the bait that was still half left to the right protector, and picked up a freshly sharpened dart from the side: "Is it obvious?" ”
"It seems that the subordinates are really right."
"It turns out that the right protector is blind." Yao Rong smiled and looked at the Qing Dai under the eyes of the right protector, "It's the right protector, it doesn't seem to have slept well last night?" ”
"My subordinates practiced until late at night yesterday, which made the pavilion master smile."
"I came to the Right Protector because I wanted to explain something to the Right Protector alone." Yao Rong put down the dart in his hand and turned to look at the clouds and mist in the distant sky, "I can't kill the Rising Sun Sect during the Sword Conference, but I don't want to watch them successfully hold the Sword Conference." ”
Right Dharma Protector Temptation: "The Pavilion Master means ......"
Yao Rong said quietly: "On the day of the Sword Conference, I want to send two groups of people to infiltrate the Rising Sun Sect, one group of people poisons the wine, and one group of people assassinates, so it is necessary to add some blockage to the Rising Sun Faction." ”
The right protector's eyes rolled slightly, no wonder Yao Rong seemed to be in a good mood, she couldn't kill the Rising Sun Sect, and she could also use this matter to disgust and disgust the Rising Sun Sect.
"It's worthy of being the pavilion master, and he can actually come up with such a clever plan!"
Yao Rong shook his head and smiled: "If you want to complete this strategy, you need to prepare a large dose of poison and arrange some trustworthy manpower." I called you here to ask you for an idea. You know a lot about the people in the cabinet, who do you think is more appropriate to send to poison? ”
The Right Protector pondered for a moment and mentioned two names: "They can be responsible for poisoning, they are all well-known poison masters in the rivers and lakes before they worship in the Absolute Immortal Pavilion." ”
Yao Rong bowed his head, and seemed quite satisfied with the candidate he proposed: "Then who should be sent to assassinate?" ”
The Right Dharma Protector said a few more names: "Their strength in the sect is not weaker than that of their subordinates, and they are very suitable for this task." ”
But soon, the right protector patched it again: "The subordinate just said it casually, and didn't think about it carefully, if the sect leader felt that something was wrong, just say it directly." ”
Yao Rong approvingly: "These candidates mentioned by the Right Protector are all suitable. When you go back, make a more detailed list, send a few more, and then submit the list to me as soon as possible. ”
The right protector had no choice but to beat his spirit, hastily wrote a list of more people, and after sending someone to Yao Rong, he fell asleep on the bed with his head covered.
Yao Rong pinched the list that had not been dried out, and a chuckle appeared on his face.
The system asks: [Why did you make an excuse for him to write this list?]
"To find out his accomplices, of course."
[Just rely on this list? 】
"Do you think it's a danger of assassination, or is it a danger of poisoning?"
[Assassination danger, of course]
"Then do you think the lethality of assassination is greater, or the lethality of poisoning?"
The system was sudden.
Poisoning is a thing that cannot be prevented and is extremely lethal. And as long as the person who poisons is careful, it is not easy to be caught.
Therefore, when the Right Protector recommends candidates, he will definitely recommend his own people.
Assassination is the complete opposite.
Once the assassination is carried out at the Sword Debate Conference, it is basically impossible to escape death.
Therefore, the people recommended by the Right Protector are definitely not his people, and they may even be people who are comparable to his strength and pose a threat to his plans.
With this list, Yao Rong can easily identify who is credible and who is available.
[So what are you going to do next?] 】
Yao Rong flicked the list in his hand: "Of course, while the right protector is making up for sleep, I will talk to the people above and assign the task." ”
To make a play, you must do a full set.
Yao Rong picked up his pen and added the names of several more people to the end of the list of assassins.
[Why did you still add people to it?] 】
Yao Rong smiled in his eyes: "The list given by the Right Protector is still a little less, I have to help him add a few." ”
[And then?] 】
"These people I added have much deeper qualifications than the right protector in the Rising Sun faction, and they usually have no contact with the right protector, and the right protector was arranged by me to the position of the protector before, these people are very dissatisfied, and it can be basically concluded that they are not the right protectors."
"It's boring when there are fewer people, of course, you need more people to make the water muddy."
Yao Rong put the brush back on the pen holder and met with the three people in charge of poisoning, asking them to find a way to find a large dose of poison in a short time.
Subsequently, Yao Rong found those who were responsible for the assassination one by one.
When he met everyone, Yao Rong's rhetoric was similar.
"You have followed me for so many years, your loyalty, I can't be clearer, this time there is an important task in the cabinet, originally I was still worried about who to send to carry it out, but someone recommended you, I just wanted to talk to you."
Tell me about the task, and ask the other party if they are willing to carry out this task and solve the big problem for the Absolute Immortal Pavilion.
Yao Rong said this, the corners of the other party's lips were bitter, and he agreed to come down.
One of the elite disciples named Chen Nan caught Yao Rong's attention.
Before leaving, he seemed to ask Yao Rong very casually who recommended him.
Yao Rong looked at his calm eyes with a hint of fierceness, smiled without saying a word, and served tea to the guests.
It doesn't matter if you can't get an answer from Yao Rong, Chen Nan investigated who had seen Yao Rong today, and he knew it in an instant.
Soon, everyone who should know also knew about it.
Okay, you're a right protector, our relationship is usually not very good, but it's because I don't have a good temper with you, and I've never done anything to be sorry for you, but you turned out to be good and secretly pushed me into the fire pit?
You're going to kill me!
If you are unkind, then don't blame me for being a brother!
I heard that you are in charge of this assassination and poisoning mission? No, no, no, I'll be responsible for you, don't you have to kill us?
Someone made a bad move: "Why don't we keep an eye on the right protector more during this time, and see if we can catch any of his handles and threaten him, so that he can have some scruples when he acts." What do you think? ”
The crowd looked at each other and agreed to the idea.
These people who can be sent to carry out assassination missions are not bad. Their status in the pavilion is not as high as that of the Right Protector, but they are not comparable to ordinary disciples, and it is very easy to make some stumbling blocks and do some tricks for the Right Protector in secret.
When the right protector was still dreaming of eradicating the Demon Sect and shaking the rivers and lakes, the Absolute Immortal Pavilion had quietly changed the sky.
Yao Rong went to the dust, first sent a message to the right protector, and asked the right protector to be fully responsible for the murder, and then in the name of retreat, he completely closed the door to thank the guests.
As soon as Yao Rong retreated, the big and small things of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion fell to the left and right protectors.
The left protector is not good at handling affairs, so most of the time, it is the right protector who is busy with these things.
It stands to reason that such a day of great power should be more comfortable, but the recent days of the Right Protector are really too aggrieved.
I don't know why, when he went out recently, he always felt as if someone was secretly staring at him, but when he felt it carefully, he felt that he was too careful.
The Right Dharma Protector shook his head, walked out of the room, and went to the disciples' exclusive martial arts training ground to instruct the disciples to practice martial arts.
Counting the time, the reply from the Absolute Immortal Pavilion should have arrived.
"Right Protector, why has he always been running to the martial arts training ground in the past two days, I didn't know before that he was a person who likes to guide disciples."
"Because he hasn't been here much before."
"Huh?"
"There must be something weird, let's keep watching."
The two men lying behind the tree muttered quietly.
After meeting with the disciple, the right protector took a note from the disciple's hand filled with small words of flies.
"Hey, that disciple's movements, why does it look like he handed something to the right protector?"
"As the right protector of the Dharma, is it necessary to be so cautious when taking something from the hands of a disciple, something is wrong."
The person hiding on the roof occupies the best angle, and can clearly see the action of exchanging glances between the disciple and the right protector and handing things over.
After the right protector received a reply from the Xuyang faction, he couldn't stay in the martial arts training ground for a moment, and hurriedly returned to the study in the courtyard.
The content of the note is very simple, indicating that the Sunrise Sect is aware of this
, telling the right protector to continue to lie dormant and wait for the next time to come.
The Right Protector carefully cleared the note, opened the window, and let the wind blow away the ashes of the note.
He pushed open the door and instructed the disciples guarding the door: "You go and call Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Wang, and Senior Brother Zhang, and I will ask them if they have collected the poison." ”
"Did those people in charge of poisoning run to the right protector too often?"
The person with a bamboo pole in his mouth and a water tank hidden in the right court frowned as he listened to the movement of opening and closing the door.
For more than half a month, these people were secretly observing.
The right protector had never shown his feet before, firstly, because he would never contact the Rising Sun Sect unless necessary, and secondly, because no one would deliberately stare at him.
But now, the contact between the Right Protector and the Rising Sun faction has become frequent, and he has offended so many people, and his every move has fallen into the eyes of the people.
One person finds one or two suspicious points, and finally puts them together, and the suspicions become very big.
The brothers and sisters in charge of the assassination got together, and the already small room became more and more narrow.
"Let's talk about what you see."
As if opening a conversation, everyone gossiped and said everything they knew.
The last person to speak was Chen Nan: "I found that the three disciples of the Right Protector and Zhou Wang Zhang have been in contact quite frequently recently. So I started to follow Zhou Wang and Zhang. ”
"Yesterday afternoon, Senior Brother Zhou took his clothes to the handyman room and asked an ugly-looking handyman to help him wash his clothes. I didn't pay much attention to it, but it occurred to me that the handyman was in charge of buying food, so I kept watch near his quarters. ”
"Sure enough, this morning, when the handyman came down the mountain, he released a pigeon to the south."
The spirit of the crowd was shocked.
Homing pigeon!
This is direct evidence!
"Did you off?"
Chen Nan smiled and brought out a birdcage from under the table.
In the cage, a carrier pigeon lay languidly inside, with a shallow arrow wound on its right paw, not fatal, but enough to shoot it from the sky.
But at this moment, everyone didn't care to marvel at Chen Nan's archery, and their eyes fell on the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's paws: "Have you seen the things inside?" ”
"It's so high, I didn't look at it." Chen Nan shook his head.
"So what now?"
"What to do? Hmph, there must be something wrong with this right protector! No wonder he put us on the list, it turned out that we were not his people, he was taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and when those of us who were loyal to the pavilion master died, wouldn't the Absolute Immortal Pavilion become his world. ”
"You say, should we report this matter to the pavilion master as soon as possible?"
"The pavilion master is in retreat, didn't he say that he couldn't disturb?"
"There is such a big thing in the door, and if you don't let the pavilion master come out to preside over the affairs of the sect, then you have to do it! Do you really want to obey the orders of the Right Protector and go to the Rising Sun to send them to death? ”
Of course, the crowd didn't want to die.
They just want the Right Protector to die.
So everyone quickly reached a consensus, first went to find the left protector, and told the left protector about the matter.
The left protector was furious, and he almost raised his sword to settle accounts with the right protector.
Everyone worked together to hold the Zuo Protector and persuaded bitterly: "Zuo Protector, the top priority is to let the Pavilion Master come out to preside over the overall situation." ”
Zuo Protector was stopped by them like this, and finally calmed down.
The right protector is of the same status as him, and he can't let people arrest the right protector, so now he can only disturb the alliance leader.
"You can't startle the snake, the rest of you go back to the house to rest first, Chen Nan, you take this pigeon with me to the back mountain."
The retreat in the back mountain is guarded outside.
Knowing the intention of the Left Protector, the guardian immediately got out of the way: "Before the retreat, the Pavilion Master told his subordinates that if the Left Protector had something to do with her, he could directly detain the gate. ”
Zuo Protector's heart warmed, this is the pavilion master's trust in him.
After a while, Yao Rong walked slowly out of the retreat.
After listening to the reports of Zuo Protector and Chen Nan, Yao Rong stretched out his hand: "Give me the pigeon." ”
Taking out the note in the letterbox, Yao Rong quickly read it and handed it to Zuo Protector: "You can all take a look." ”
Zuo Protector and Chen Nan watched together.
The content of the letter was simple, revealing that the Absolute Immortal Pavilion would poison and assassinate on the day of the Sword Meeting.
What shocked Zuo Protector was: "This letter is addressed to the Rising Sun Sect!?" ”
Chen Nan was also furious: "The people of the Sunrise Sect are actually hiding so deeply. ”
The left protector came back to his senses, hugged his fists and said: "Pavilion master, must you immediately arrest the right protector and his comrades?" ”
Yao Rong looked at Chen Nan: "You have followed the Right Protector for more than half a month, have you found out his comrades?" ”
Chen Nan looked at Yao Rong in a daze, Pavilion Master, she knows!?
Pavilion Master, she actually knows!?
Yao Rong smiled and opened his mouth to say the names of the eight people: "These eight people are all the same party of the Right Protector. Left Protector, you take people and arrest them all. ”
Chen Nan finally came back to his senses and lowered his head in shame: "Back to the pavilion master, we only found six people, and missed two of them. ”
Yao Rong bowed his head and said to Chen Nan: "You follow me to arrest the right protector." ”
Yao Rong rushed to the right Dharma protector's house, flicked his fingers, and the heavy wooden door opened in response.
"Who!?"
The Right Protector awoke from his sleep and drew his weapon from under his pillow.
Looking at the figure walking slowly in the moonlight, the right protector's face changed greatly, and he was both shocked and suspicious: "Pavilion Master, are you out of the customs?" ”
"I've never been closed, so how can I get out."
The right protector was stunned, realizing that the matter was out of his control, and the next moment, the sound of breaking the air sounded, and dozens of white rays attacked Yao Rong from the bed.
Yao Rong pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed it in the air.
Bai Mang collided with the sword body and was knocked away on the spot.
The fast sword is like the wind, not giving the right protector a second chance to sneak attack, Yao Rong's sword has been set up at the neck of the right protector.
Her fingertips moved slightly, and the small pebbles she grabbed on the way here flew out and hit several acupuncture points on the right protector.
The right protector was in pain, and as soon as his wrist was loosened, the rainstorm pear blossom needle fell from his hand.
He tried to fight back, only to find that he had been numbed and numb all over.
Yao Rong instructed Chen Nan, who was waiting outside the door: "Take him to the martial arts training ground." ”
Chen Nan looked at Yao Rong's gaze with more and more awe.
In the past, I only thought that this pavilion master's martial arts were strong, but today I know that the pavilion master's mental means are better than strength.
Seeing the figure of Chen Nan escorting the right protector away, Yao Rong slowly put away his sword.
The system popped up again: [Are you very optimistic about Chen Nan? 】
These days, others don't know what Yao Rong is doing, but the system is clear.
Nominally, Yao Rong was staying in the back mountain retreat, but in fact she was outside all the time.
"That's right. Of all these people, I am most satisfied with him. ”
For most of the month, she hid in the shadows and observed them.
She was nearby when Chen Nan followed the handyman down the mountain and shot the pigeon with a bow.
She also deliberately checked Chen Nan's life experience.
Chen Nan originally lived in the next state, but more than ten years ago, there was a big flood in the next state, and corrupt officials withheld layers of corrupt officials and embezzled the disaster relief funds issued by the imperial court. Chen Nan's family couldn't survive, so they fled to a nearby town.
Later, his parents died of illness, and in order to beg for a bite to eat, he knelt outside the Juexian Pavilion and begged the Juexian Pavilion to accept him as a slave.
It was Su Xingze who nodded and agreed to accept Chen Nan as a disciple of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, so that Chen Nan was saved from starving to death.
Among the crowd, Chen Nan's loyalty, strength, and skill are all superior.
What are you going to do? 】
"After solving the right protector, you always have to find someone to take the position of the right protector. Chen Nan is the person I chose. ”
System: [......]
[So you set up this game, not only to pull out the right protector of the same party, but also to take the opportunity to touch the bottom of these people and see their ability to cope, right? 】
"Of course, if you want to understand someone, you have to look at what they do." Yao Rong walked up and walked towards the martial arts training ground in the moonlight, "I don't have so much time to stay in the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and sort out the problems of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion little by little, so I can only use this way to quickly cut through the mess first, and by the way, pick a reliable person to help Zuo Protector." ”
With Zuo Protector and Chen Nan here, even if she leaves for a few months, the Absolute Immortal Pavilion will not be chaotic. :,,
