Chapter 49: Zhou Yu Huang Gai
"You two are talking. When Fu Changan came in in the afternoon to change Shangguan Yi's dressing, he asked casually, and her casual appearance made people unsure of her intentions.
Shangguan Yi pondered the meaning of her words, generally Fu Changan would not mention outsiders like Lin Xiao. Because to tell the truth, they are not in the category that Fu Changan cares about, so their life and death, joy and anger, have nothing to do with her, and she will not mention it unless necessary. But once she mentions it, it means that she has a deep meaning.
Could it be...
"Fu Changan, you don't want to take care of him in my face, right?" Shangguan Yi was a little flattered.
"It's okay to take care of him, it's okay to look at him a little. Fu Changan said coldly, he didn't seem to like Lin Xiao very much.
Shangguan Yi also heard it, and asked tentatively: "Did he make you angry? Or did you say that there was a festival before?" I think you seem to be particularly hostile to him, no, it's worse than a stranger, and you can't talk about hostile words. ”
"You can't guess. Fu Changan said firmly.
Shangguan Yi scratched his head, what kind of reason could make Fu Changan so sure that he couldn't guess it? Is it something beyond his three views? He opened his mouth, and finally just said: "There is no need, you don't need to be wronged for me." My friendship with him is mine and his, not to mention that we only seem to have a good relationship because we are on a rope, after this crisis is over, we still have to fight when we want to fight, and we still have to separate when we should separate, and besides, I don't use my real name, how can I have a good relationship with him. ”
"Qianliu told me, she hasn't seen your true face, and I haven't seen you either, so you don't have a good relationship with us, right?" Fu Changan said a word, and with a smile, Shangguan Yi was forced into a dead end.
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Shangguan Yi's forehead, this... It's time to send the proposition, if you don't answer well, you can turn around Mo Qianliu and show him the color, and now Fu Changan will let him know what cruelty is. So he was very shameless and double-marked: "That's different, Mo Qianliu and I, and you are our own people, it doesn't matter if you see my true face or not, can you pretend not to know me when I see me? What's more, I think you can recognize me if you see me or not, right? We are good friends, the kind that won't stab each other, and we can rest assured that we can hand over each other's backs, how can we have a bad relationship?"
Fu Changan narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and said, "Then what did you talk about today, after talking for so long, it feels quite important?"
"It's not about the Demon Sect yet, we have cracked their means of transmitting information, and we know that they are almost set up, and they are about to close the net, so we have to find a way to find the key positions they said, and do the opposite, and wipe them out!" Shangguan Yi explained helplessly.
"Oh, this thing. Fu Changan's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and then asked, "Do you need my help?"
"I can't clean up the mess then, can you help clean it up? I still want to see if I can solve it by my strength. Shangguan Yi hesitated again and again, but still rejected Fu Changan's kindness.
"Well, I see. Fu Changan nodded briskly, it seemed that he had already guessed Shangguan Yi's choice.
Then Fu Changan left, except for sending food to Shangguan Yi at dinner, he didn't bother him anymore, leaving time and space to him, so that he could think of a breakthrough.
Shangguan Yi can't go out yet, so he is just talking on paper, deducing possible places and means of fighting the enemy in his mind.
Lin Xiao went back and told everyone that he had paid a great price before he had a good conversation with Fu Changan's attendant and asked him to promise to help say a few kind words in front of Fu Changan. This time the matter is in the past, remember not to be so reckless next time, as for those costs, let's share them equally, okay?
In this way, the treacherous Lin Xiao basically didn't do anything, and got some benefits from himself. Then he wandered around the village, patrolling to see if there was any potential danger, and he helped deal with it so that nothing could happen.
If Shangguan Yi knew about this matter, he would definitely grit his teeth and ask for a piece of the pie, after all, there is a bargain and not a bastard, not to mention that the two of them are involved in solving various puzzles, and it is reasonable for people who enjoy Qingfu to give some benefits, isn't it?
Lin Xiao walked around the village twice and then went back, flew onto a tree next to his residence, and lay on the branches with Erlang's legs crossed, looking leisurely and lazy, which made people spurn.
In fact, hidden under this exterior is a meticulous heart.
"In the village, in addition to the ancestral hall, the only things that meet the conditions are the large square in the center of the village and the cemetery in the south of the village. If the means are arranged in the main square, even if it is an exquisite and vicious mechanism, it is impossible to kill them all, or push the advantage to the side of the Demon Sect, the place is too big and the space is empty, and it is difficult to get it. ”
"A cemetery is also unlikely, although it is complicated, and if you can find a reason to lure everyone there, you can indeed eat away at them all little by little. But they are not stupid, they all go to that kind of place when they have nothing to do, especially the cemetery in Miaojiang, which is very dangerous. The devil knows what they did to prevent the tomb from being robbed, and they don't know how to die even if they don't die. ”
"Then only the ancestral hall remains?" Lin Xiao said silently in his heart.
The ancestral halls of small villages like this in Miaojiang are generally stored in the spiritual positions of people who have made outstanding contributions to the village, or extremely talented people, representing the glory of a village. At the same time, it is also a place where the sacrifice of the small village is held, praying for wind and rain, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, praying for a good harvest, etc., these situations must be led by the village chief or priest to lead the whole village to worship the heavens together, which is naturally built with some style. It's just that when the Miao Jiang people moved away, those things were taken away, although they were in a hurry, but the ancestors' spiritual positions and sacrificial props could not be left, which was disrespectful and would bring a lifetime of bad luck.
Therefore, in the ancestral hall of this village now, in addition to the statues that cannot be taken away, the tablets are basically empty, and the ancestral hall is messy. What's more, if they want to use the Seven Heart Glass to cause them to lose most of their combat effectiveness, this place is indeed an excellent place, closed, with only one exit.
As long as they are all introduced, it is basically difficult to fly with wings, and they will definitely die.
But their means can't be only one like Seven Heart Liuli, and Lin Xiao can't think of any reason to lead them all to the ancestral hall, even if it's the reason for the sacrifice, Miao Jiang doesn't know if he buys it or not, let alone outsiders.
Lin Xiao thought about it, but he didn't expect any place to be like the key place they said in their letter. After thinking about it, give up decisively, and discuss it with that kid in the evening, a person's thinking is limited.
In this way, Lin Xiao, who perfectly found a reason for himself to be lazy, took a nap for a while, and waited for their people to cook and go on the road after eating, phew, after eating.
When Lin Xiao and Shangguan Yi both lay down and thought, the people of the Demon Sect were not idle.
Qian Ming found Liu Xin, frowned and said: "I waited for a long time last night to get the information of those people, and the intelligence said that a person on a mission was killed when he connected with Xinzi yesterday, two people. The letters they delivered were also taken, and we don't know exactly what the slain spy had found. ”
"Who did it?" Liu Xin had murderous intent in his eyes, and he was about to close the net, wouldn't it be a good thing for him to do this? Blocking people's way is equivalent to killing his parents, and he and people have desperate intentions.
"I don't know, the traces of the scene are very unfamiliar. Unlike everyone known to have done it, I wonder if there's a Fourth Camp doing something in the shadows. Qian Ming shook his head.
"Fourth camp? I said, are you a little too careful? We all know the people who come in and out of this place, and you still don't know if there is a fourth group of people coming in these days? What's more, even if there is a fourth group of people? As long as the plan is successfully completed, it doesn't matter how many people come. Liu Xin scoffed.
I have to say that those old monsters of the Demon Sect are really vicious, and it is really a bit too bullying to let Liu Xin deal with Qian Ming. Liu Xin doesn't look down on an overly cautious and taciturn person like Qian Ming, so he naturally excludes and ridicules in various ways. Qian Ming didn't bother to care about this, he only cared about whether the plan could be implemented normally.
The most important thing is that Qian Ming has a force in his heart, he knows that he can't beat Liu Xin, the highest force value of this operation is Liu Xin, and Liu Xin can do everything, and he really fights for power with him and makes him anxious, so he can't jump over the wall in a hurry and kill him outside. The hall master's arrangement before Qian Ming left was: no matter what the result is, if he wants to go back alive, the young master still needs his counseling. Therefore, Qian Ming tolerated Liu Xin in every way before, which led to the fact that except for some henchmen, everyone else did not listen to him, that is, his right to speak was not high.
But now that the real Qian Ming is dead, although the fake Qian Ming has learned about his various habits through this period of personal followership, and carried out the Li Dai Taozhuang plan, no one can recognize it, but the arrangement of the hall master is not clear. So if he wants to go back alive and not be punished too much, he has to find a way to throw the pot on Liu Xin and let him carry it. Coincidentally, although he didn't know the process, he knew that this plan to pick Vermilion Bird Fruit would definitely not be a success of the Demon Sect, so he wanted to take him out of this plan, honestly be a light commander, and let Liu Xin take the blame and pay the debt.
So when he heard Liu Xin say this, he immediately showed his sorrow: "Well, what you said is right, but what if the plan can't be successfully completed? I don't agree to lose step by step! I ask to stop the plan immediately, and wait for me to plan again." ”
"Stop the plan, surnamed Qian, do you know what you're talking about, if you stop the plan now, you will lose everything! The soldiers are treacherous, now win by surprise, strive for the first opportunity, we can almost kill all the people in the village, if we are lucky, even Fu Chang'an will do it together, and the face of the Demon Sect in the ghost will be half recovered, without Fu Chang'an, Mo Qianliu is not afraid. Do you know how much this means to the Demon Sect? Delay it for a while, wait for Fu Changan and the others to react, and if they lose another city, the momentum of the Demon Sect's comeback will be suppressed again, how can you convince the public?" Qian Ming's reprimands one by one sounded reasonable, convincing, and difficult to refute.
Qian Ming lowered his head, as if he had nothing to say and was about to admit defeat, but in fact, he was despising Liu Xin's ugly beauty in his heart, but he didn't show any abnormality, and said weakly: "However, someone intercepted an important piece of information, if it can be cracked, it will be quite unfavorable to our plan, and it is very likely that it will be miscarried, and I am afraid that it will be ... That's why I want to be more secure, I'm also for the great cause of the Demon Sect. ”
"Be more secure? Who do you think you are? The former general of the Zhen Dynasty, the invincible Shangguan Ren? Rest, you are not him, and neither are they, even if the information is intercepted? It is not so simple to get the real information, and even if they get it, they can't guess the key point. Perhaps, they just happened to go into a misunderstanding when they got the information, wouldn't it be beautiful to hit the right one, doze off and send pillows?" Liu Xin took advantage of the victory to pursue, and made all kinds of ridicule to Qian Ming, making him tremble with anger and not be able to attack, and he was proud in his heart, but he couldn't be comfortable.
Qian Ming didn't seem to be able to find the words to refute it, and when he finally threw up his sleeves and left, he was also presented by Liu Xin with a sentence "Qian Ming! you are tired, your brain is not clear, take a good rest for a few days, rest assured, the credit is indispensable to you afterwards, after all, you also have hard work, hahahaha!", and then Qian Ming left a little like he was angry, but he was obviously angry but endured, and he didn't have a seizure.
This scene was seen by many people, and it was almost a real hammer on the spot, and it couldn't be washed.
The two hall masters fought for power, and the Qian hall master was completely defeated!
In addition, on this day, Liu Xin "accidentally" shook out the reason for this incident, and before the hour came, the people who were still in their temporary stronghold basically knew everything.
You know, these people are not the kind of outcasts out there, they can give up casually. They are Qian Ming, Liu Xin, and some other people's henchmen, the elite of the Demon Sect! These people go back and publicize again, how else can Qian Ming be? It is estimated that the position of the branch master will not be kept.
Now, anyway, a large number of people are ready to eat melons, is there something wrong with the eyes of this Infernal Hall Master, is this one of the most reliable people in the Demon Sect? Expect him to assist the young master to achieve great things? I see how you explain it to the elders when you turn around.
Only Qian Ming's henchmen were worried about him and puzzled, but it was useless.
I have to say that after this exchange, Qian Ming is happy, Liu Xin is also happy, except for Qian Ming and some diehard subordinates of Infernal Hall, everyone else is also very happy, it can be said that everyone is happy.
Qian Ming also had no opinion on Liu Xin's deliberate abandonment of those die-hard subordinates and letting others do key work, and even took the initiative to cooperate and do the ideological work of his subordinates. is well-behaved, so that Liu Xin has less prejudice against him, in fact, the master of the Infernal Hall is not wrong, he really understands the overall situation!
Liu Xin thought that he had won a great victory in the internal war, and the spring breeze proudly supervised the matter of closing the net, he couldn't wait to take the lives of these miscellaneous fish, and took the Vermilion Bird Fruit and the Spirit Snake Red Flame to return to the Demon Sect.
On the other side, at dusk, Shangguan Yi and Lin Xiao met in the old place to exchange their discoveries here, which was also the previous agreement.
Lin Xiao also talked about the results of his day's investigation, as well as his own speculation, and which place was more likely to be treated as their key position.
Shangguan Yi's face was a little ugly and said: "These places, it seems that they can be or may not be." Are you sure you've really explored all the places in the village? There's no other place to do that?"
Lin Xiao nodded convincingly, he had checked all the similar places in the village, he still wouldn't be careless about this kind of thing, Jiao'er Langdang's slacking appearance was just made for others to see, if he was really serious, he would not lose to Shangguan Yi.
"No, no, these places are definitely not right, they can't bet in this kind of place where they can be found by boring people at any time, the risk is too great. There must be something else we haven't found out. Shangguan Yi walked around in place, a little irritable.
"Could it be that they can still fly from the sky to beat us, do you really think they are immortals?" Lin Xiao complained to him. Although what Shangguan Yi said makes sense, but the current situation is like this, you can't help it if you think it's unreasonable, maybe the other party has no better way to choose this, if the objective conditions don't allow it, it's all helpless.
"Heavenly?" Shangguan Yi subconsciously looked up, no, they can't fly, and they don't have manned vehicles that can fly, this idea is not advisable. Not in the sky, not on the ground, but what about the underground?
A spark flickered, igniting the fire of Shangguan Yi's thinking.
Yes, underground. Lin Xiao had said that there were all kinds of secret passages in the village before, and he had also found the law of the location of the secret passages, but he didn't care about it and never went in. Now that I think about it, what if it wasn't the kind of place where I could only hide for a while, as I imagined, as a temporary hiding place, or a direct passage to a certain escape place?
He told Lin Xiao about this idea, and the latter patted his head and muttered, "Yes, there is such a thing as an authenticity, no wonder I always felt as if I had overlooked some important clues, it turned out that I had forgotten this thing." However, what is the underground, I can't be sure, although I have long found out that there is a secret passage, but I really haven't entered it, I have the impression that the secret passages inside are all escape passages or the kind of hiding and waiting for death, do Miao Jiang people have this ability, what kind of fame do they do underground?"
"Not necessarily, this village is not naturally formed, this is their plan a long time ago, the purpose is to deal with this Spirit Snake Red Flame Thousand Year Tribulation. The purpose of this village was not to live in, but to war! Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Miao Jiang people, not to mention, they can also ask the master of the organ or something to help, so it is completely possible to achieve this level. It's just that, I don't know why, they suddenly gave up their plan for so long and left the territory to us, and the Demon Sect doesn't know how to know the detailed map, and it can actually be based on the layout of their territory. Shangguan Yi speculated a little.
Lin Xiao listened and said a little helplessly: "I'm afraid they didn't find the original design drawing, so they can know so clearly." ”
"Not necessarily, I remember that on the side of Miao Jiang's abandoned sons, a considerable number of them are aborigines. Shangguan Yi put forward another guess, and it was a more likely guess, but Lin Xiao shuddered as if he was listening to a cold joke.
"I said, can you be optimistic? Now that the situation is so bad, don't make it worse, okay? I'm a little desperate, can we go back alive?" Lin Xiao said a little annoyed.
"Heh, isn't this okay uncle? You are so inferior, you are also a beautiful man in Yushu, a good young man who is as gentle as jade, is it a shame?" Shangguan Yi squinted and despised him, when his nickname was first said from other people's mouths, Shangguan Yi endured so hard that he didn't laugh, it was too cheap, and he didn't laugh.
A man hates it most when people say he can't do it, whether it's true or not. Lin Xiao naturally couldn't escape the sanction of this sentence at night, and when he heard Shangguan Yi's ridicule, his temper came up immediately, and he dropped a sentence: "Who said I can't do it, the master will explore this tunnel for you today, I want to see what medicine is sold in the stomach of the Demon Sect!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, ordinary people may have really been deceived by him, thinking that he was going to explore the tiger's den in Longtan alone. But how can Shangguan Yi be an ordinary person, after several times of dealings, how can he not know that this is an old fritter who believes in taking ten benefits with all his strength, how can he believe that he will be a guinea pig so honestly.
"Yo, Uncle Lin is mighty, I will spread your demeanor today on the rivers and lakes afterwards, especially for those beautiful girls, I will definitely focus on publicity. Shangguan Yi's sarcastic words reached Lin Xiao's ears, and he stumbled and almost staged a classic scene of falling on the ground.
"If you are ruthless, then what do you say? People have dug a pit and waited for us to jump, if you want me to say, it is better to go back to their own homes, find their own mothers, no matter how good the baby is, it is not as good as your life, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood." Lin Xiao said dejectedly.
"Actually, it's not without a chance of winning, as long as you can fool your side of the camp, we still have to fight. At least we have the antidote to the Seven Hearts Glass, which they can't think of. And I think there may be something wrong with the command of the Demon Sect, and the person who can make the decision to treat all the people who may be found out as outcasts should be very gloomy and vicious, calm and terrible people, and he will not rush to close the net. Now although the last moment is not far away, it is not the best moment, he is in a hurry, for unknown reasons, this is our chance. Shangguan Yi said his judgment.
"What about Miao Jiang?" Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.
"No matter how many people in it are members of the Demon Sect, and how many people have something to do with the Demon Sect, we don't know, not to mention, non-my race will have different hearts, I'm a little afraid that they will give us a knife in turn, and we will lose completely. When the time comes, when the time comes, act on the opportunity, and then talk about their disposal. I'll figure out a way to give you an answer within three days. If possible, you can deal with those Western Desert Guards, and it would be better to pull out one of their teeth first. Shangguan Yi said coldly, his eyebrows and eyes were serious.
Shangguan Yi's posture made Lin Xiao a little in a trance, and subconsciously agreed to his request. Then he looked at Shangguan Yi and said goodbye to him, and whispered a little dejectedly: "If he is still alive and his son is still alive, is it also so glorious?"
