Chapter 57: The Willows and Flowers
"What now?" Mo Qianchen scratched his head, he knew how to choose, but his temperament would not allow him to leave these people here to die, which was no different from killing them with his own hands.
The Northern Hanwei Commander's eyes were cold, and he didn't speak, but it seemed that he had already expressed his meaning: give up on them.
Yes, the rational choice is to give up these oil bottles, and the rest of the people can still have a chance of life, otherwise they will not be able to run away at all.
This is a torture of human nature, and it is also the psychological tactics of the Demon Sect, not everyone can be as iron-blooded and ruthless as Bei Hanwei, and can make such a choice without psychological burden. Not everyone can accept such a result, once they are condemned to death, they can only quietly wait for their lives to come to an end, such pressure will drive people crazy, and madmen can do everything.
"Actually, it's not impossible. Shangguan Yi suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"What's the way?" Mo Qianchen hurriedly asked.
"I know of an underground chamber that can hide people, and if this chamber is opened from the outside and the mechanism is brought in, it can only be opened from the inside. Moreover, there is no existence of this secret room on the blueprint, which means that the people of the Demon Cult do not know about it. You can hide them there and release them when we settle the outside matter. Shangguan Yi said seriously, it didn't seem like he was joking.
"How did you know there was such a secret room?" the king questioned.
"Of course I investigated it, and I found out by chance, otherwise why would I come so late?" Shangguan Yi went back, and didn't give him face, a double heaven miscellaneous fish didn't need him to swallow his anger, even he couldn't beat him and dared to jump out to brush his sense of existence, I'm afraid it's not looking for death.
"Without further ado, divide up the team and send them there first. "The commander of the Northern Hanwei did not hesitate and directly finalized this matter. In fact, it was okay for him to do anything, and it was best to throw them down, but for the sake of the big picture, he compromised.
"Sending is to be sent, but there are some things that have to be said ahead, if you want to live, you have to do two things: first, no matter what happens outside, don't come out to see the excitement. Second, I believe that we will solve all the difficulties and call you out. If you can't do one of these two, you may have to stay, all, forever. Shangguan Yi said coldly in front of them, and finally highlighted those two words in an emphatic tone, indicating that he was not joking.
"Alarmist. A voice came from the crowd, seemingly disdainful.
"Whether it's alarmist or not, you'll know then. Shangguan Yi didn't mean to refute, shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter. He will not leave the old, weak, sick and disabled, it doesn't mean that they will stop them from looking for death, anyway, he has said everything that should be said, and it is their business to take it seriously.
"Then let's divide it into groups, I, Mo Qianchen and the commander of the Northern Hanwei will each lead a team, and after the commander of the Northern Hanwei Palace, our two teams will guard the surroundings and open the way, without further ado, start now." Lin Xiao waited for Shangguan Yi to finish talking and then got to the point, he didn't want to waste too much time on these people, time was precious.
Then he said the members of the specific group, Commander Wang was still in a group with Commander Bei Hanwei, and he led the intact combat strength on the Miao Jiang side and several disciples of the Medicine King Valley, and the rest, including Shangguan Yi, were all divided into Mo Qianchen. After all, on the bright side, Lin Xiao Sanzhongtian and the Northern Hanwei are well preserved, and the combat effectiveness of these two teams is very high. Donghaiwei's gang of parallel goods can't find anyone, so Mo Qianchen's side is two or three of Zhongzhen's and stragglers, and it seems that they are the weakest side. But in fact, only Lin Xiao, Shangguan Yi and Mo Qianchen knew that the seemingly weakest team was the one with the highest survival rate.
The commander of the Northern Han Wei did not express dissatisfaction with such a decision, in fact, it was the best choice to let them break off, and if they were to change to others, they would not be at ease. It's just that the existence of Commander Wang makes him a little uncomfortable, and he doesn't like Commander Wang, but he doesn't want him to die "accidentally" in an accident, isn't this helping the enemy country to share their worries and solve difficulties? If you think about it, you can only pinch your nose and endure it, let it be, maybe he will fall into the pit and die while walking?
Commander Wang naturally didn't know that he was so disliked, and he didn't have time to worry about the accounts with Mo Qianchen now, he just wanted to live. If he hadn't dragged his feet and would have been killed first, he would have even wanted to survive with those injured to the end.
In this way, Shangguan Yi led them into the secret passage underground, turned a few corners, stopped halfway through a passage, unlocked the mechanism on the wall with lightning speed, took off a bronze device, and the wall moved, revealing the secret room behind it.
An ordinary room, with enough space and some water and food, enough for them to sustain for a long time.
Shangguan Yi handed the bronze device to a person casually and said, "There is a mechanism to close the door after entering, there is a hole in the door, insert this into it to open the door, go in and close the door, so as not to be discovered." ”
The others did not delay, supported each other, scrambled into the secret room, closed the door, and let themselves be safe for the time being. I'm not worried about the appearance of people who are fighting for life and death outside, fighting for them.
"This is human nature, let's go, go to another secret room and see what to do next. Shangguan Yi shook his head and beckoned the remaining thirty people to move on.
This time they went to the real secret room, which can only be said to be a place to house the old, weak, sick and disabled, if the secret room that the designer worked hard to hide was this kind of place, he would have simply committed suicide. There are weapons in the real secret room, and the standard weapons of the Miao Jiang people, even the most rudimentary, are not small for them, and it is also excellent to increase some combat effectiveness when armed.
After the group entered the secret room, it was a declaration that the first half of the game was over and there was a half-time. The people of the Demon Sect don't know where Shangguan Yi and they are hiding, they themselves are a little anxious, Liu Xin's intestines are almost green, they were originally going to catch cicadas, but they were taken down by the yellow finch, and their back hands outside the village were cleared, and they couldn't even send a letter, they didn't know what the situation was.
Feng Shui takes turns, and after being a hunter once, the people of the Demon Sect have finally become trapped beasts, and they can't stay anywhere except in the village. And the prey in the village has not been hunted cleanly, and even the minions have to be sharpened and counter-hunted.
Of course, they naturally don't know, and if they do, they are not afraid, they will only watch it as a joke. After all, even if there was an accident, in terms of Qian Ming's layout, their strength would not be so easy to be defeated, not to mention that there was a master to suppress the formation, a stable horse.
After entering the secret room, Lin Xiao first took out a bunch of pills, each of them sent one first, and the rest was put away and divided into three parts, keeping one for himself, and the rest for the Northern Hanwei Commander and Mo Qianchen.
"Is this...?" the Northern Hanwei Commander was a little puzzled.
"If you feel that something is wrong with your body, or if something strange happened to your companion before, just feed him this thing and let him be quiet for half an hour. This is my antidote to my concoction, and it should work. Lin Xiao said proudly, that look was unbelievable, but in fact, whether it could have an effect, and how much it worked, was uncertain.
"Do you know how those strange situations appeared before?" Commander of the Northern Han Guard and Mo Qianchen both asked a little eagerly, and the others were also surprised.
Although Miao Jiang's people did not admit it, the suspicion of those previous things was still on Miao Jiang's head, who gave them the ability to do it? As for the motive, that was never a problem. And this suspicion cannot be overturned after the matter of Miao Jiang being a traitor was hammered, and it is almost considered to be like this, this is the conspiracy of the Demon Sect, which cannot be washed away.
But!
Now Lin Xiao popped up and said that the medicine he prepared could solve that situation, did it mean that he also knew how to do it, maybe, he knew how to configure that poison, and even he was the one who provided poison for the Demon Sect!
Looking at everyone's skeptical eyes, Lin Xiao spread his hands and said helplessly: "I just accidentally saw a similar record of something in the book, and it happened that there was a speculative antidote in the book, because that thing was more terrifying, so I wrote it down." Believe it or not, I don't need to cooperate with the Demon Cult anyway, it's not someone of theirs who is pretending, now is not the time for an internal war, our time is precious. ”
The others silently put away the pill, maybe they could save their lives. As for Mo Qianchen, he was a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't mention it, that is: Why does this thing look so familiar? The look of the bottle of pills that Du Yao gave himself before!
Thinking of this possibility, Mo Qianchen suddenly had two guesses, whether Du Yao was deceiving himself or Lin Xiao was deceiving the others here? Is this an antidote or a poison? He suddenly saw Shangguan Yi winking at him, and suddenly had a choice in his heart as to which one he should choose.
"Mo Qianchen, can you tell us more about the matchmaker before?" Commander Beihanwei raised this question, which also made the hearts of the people at the scene nervous, you must know that there are not a few people who saw the matchmaker this time.
"A long time ago, there was a secret technique in the rivers and lakes called "Kong Yuan", the name sounded like just a martial art that taught people how to manipulate internal forces, in fact, it was true, until a person with amazing talent learned it, and after doing a monstrous case in Tiancheng, it seemed to have a different feeling. You should know that place in the Heavenly City, at that time, it was the era when geniuses were born and evil were born, and when this kind of thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the judicial power of the entire Heavenly City was mobilized, and the Heavenly City was almost turned over. No matter how wicked he is, no matter how careful his mind is, he can't resist so many people trying to arrest him, and even there are two or three demons who are not inferior to him. So in the end, I caught that person without accident, and I also knew his methods. Since then, there has been a more feared exercise on the rivers and lakes "Puppet Control Yuan Gong", everyone only knows the name but does not know the effect, and even in many records, this exercise does not appear. Mo Qianchen said his guess seriously, and when he talked about Tiancheng, his tone and expression were even more admirable.
""Puppet Control Yuan Gong", I have only heard of its name in this exercise, as for the others, I have never heard of it, please say it in more detail. The Northern Han Wei Commander had a solemn expression, and when he heard the word Tiancheng, he knew that this exercise was far from being as simple as he thought.
"I don't know much, I just know that this technique can manipulate a puppet to attack, and the cultivation determines the attack distance, which is unpredictable and terrifying. The point is on that puppet, it's tricky. Mo Qianchen's expression was solemn, obviously not joking.
"You mean, he disguised the puppet as a matchmaker for psychological tactics, in fact, there are no ghosts, only puppets who pretend to be ghosts?" Lin Xiao summed up his guess.
"Yes. Mo Qianchen nodded.
""Puppet Control Yuan Gong" is certainly mysterious, but the weakness is also obvious, success is also a puppet, defeat is also a puppet, its consumption is very large, not everyone can support it. Shangguan Yi took over the conversation and said his point.
"So you will fight a war of attrition when you meet him?" Mo Qianchen understood.
"That's it, I'm afraid your attack range can't compare to him. Lin Xiao said helplessly.
"Not necessarily, at least we have this. Shangguan Yi took out the map and shook it, and also shook the eyes of the commander of the Northern Hanwei.
Goods are not the same as goods, he saw the material of this map and knew that this was the thing protected by the totem lock, and he didn't expect that it was still in their hands in the end!
"Well done!" the Northern Hanwei Commander's heart finally lifted up. Under the table, it was a sketch, and some small branches had not been drawn, let alone a secret room or something, with this thing in hand, they would definitely have a certain advantage, and they would be fine if they took advantage of the situation to chase and roll a snowball.
I have to say that although the process was a little more tortuous than the commander of the Northern Hanwei thought, the result was still the same.
Then, the four of them circled around the map, and worked out various tactics, and the members of the team who armed themselves next to them broke out in a cold sweat, it was too insidious, but it was awesome! To deal with the enemy is to be unscrupulous, after all, to be kind to them is to be cruel to yourself.
"Whew, so be it. Lin Xiao exhaled and said in conclusion.
Several people finally finished making their plans and glanced at each other with a faint appreciation in their eyes. No matter what happens in the future, they may be enemies, but at least at this moment they appreciate each other and are about to fight together, and they are comrades-in-arms who can be entrusted with life and death!
"The last thing to note is that if you meet someone you can't beat, don't be reckless, and always follow the plan. I guess there may be three such people, two Triple Heavens, and one is the cultivator of the "Puppet Control Yuan Gong". In the same way, killing them as much as possible is the most crucial step, and only by killing them can you ensure a real victory. Shangguan Yi finally added the key point, reminding Lin Xiao and the commander of the Northern Hanwei not to go up.
"You know me, I'm most afraid of death, how can I fight to the death with them?" Lin Xiao replied with a hippie smile, clapped his hands, and said to his teammates: "Okay, let's get ready to do it, be smart, shoot and change places, but in the end, you have to kill more than any team, I don't want to lose to these two guys." ”
"Same. The Commander of the Northern Guards also stood up and beckoned his team to leave.
"We can't be left behind. Shangguan Yi smiled sinisterly, beckoned his teammates to take some strange things and left the secret room.
The second half, the beginning.
