Chapter 1018: Exhaustion (3)
"Bold Qin bitter, dare to play drunk madness in the eldest lady's room!"
Just when Qin Ku, who was full of alcohol, ignored Xun Qin's poor mood and gaged with his throat, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao hurried to "relieve the siege".
"Stay away! Beware...... I couldn't help but vomit on you for a while. ”
Qin Ku didn't seem to be aware of Xiao Yang's displeasure with the others, and while waving and pushing carelessly, he staggered towards the table.
"You ......"
"Don't worry!" Before Xiao Yang could stop him, Xun Qin's voice quietly sounded, "You go out first, I have something to discuss with the Lord of the Qin Mansion." ”
"Miss, Qin Ku is so drunk with this virtue that he can't even stand steadily......"
"Whew!"
"Poof!"
"Hiss......"
Before Xiao Yang's words fell, Qin Ku, who was drunk like mud, suddenly made a move, and pulled out the short knife on Xiao Yang's waist with lightning speed. With a flip of his wrist, the short knife slashed through a dazzling silver arc in mid-air, and the sharp blade pressed against Xiao Yang's neck impartially.
This move not only made Xiao Yang, who was caught off guard, gasp, but also made the frightened Su Hu and Xun Budao subconsciously stop the movements in their hands, and under the threat of Qin Ku's "cute and cute", the two had to slowly insert the half-drawn steel knife back into the sheath.
Compared with the panicked Xiao Yang and the three Qin Clans who looked at each other, Xun Qin not only did not move at all, but did not even raise his eyelids.
"I can't stand still, but I can take your sword, guess...... Am I drunk?"
At this moment, Qin Ku's huge body was almost lying on Xiao Yang's thin and stiff body, and Yuan Bu Longdong's big head was casually drooping on his shoulder, his eyes were lazily looking at the indignant Xiao Yang, and the warm smell of wine was constantly spewing out of his mouth and nose.
"What kind of hero is a sneak attack from behind, ...... capable of it"
"Alright!" Xun Qin interrupted Xiao Yang's complaint rather impatiently, "Let's go down!"
Hearing this, Qin Ku grinned, and the cold blade slowly moved away from Xiao Yang's neck. With a wave of his big hand, he pushed Xiao Yang, who wanted to stop talking, to the side, and reinserted the short knife into his waist as he stepped forward.
"Go out too. ”
Qin Ku staggered to the table, and gave an order to the "Three Heroes of the Qin Family" without looking back, and then sat opposite Xun Qin, picked up the teapot and drank it smoothly.
When the resentful Xiao Yang and the confused "Qin Clan's Three Heroes" left the room, the hazy drunkenness that lingered in Qin Ku's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a sly color of surging light.
"Something's wrong?"
Hearing Qin Ku's question for no reason, Xun Qin was slightly stunned, and asked instead of answering: "Why did the Lord of the Qin Mansion say this?"
"Look at the way you look...... Doesn't seem to be very happy. Qin Ku gestured his hand to Xun Qin's face a few times, and asked in a wordy manner, "Is there a change in plans?"
"The plan hasn't changed, it's just that some people ...... It makes me feel uneasy. Xun Qin had no intention of hiding his concerns.
"Who is it?"
"Yuan Xiao. ”
"Yuan Xiao?" Qin Ku frowned and said in a deep voice, "Do you need me to help ......you?"
For the sake of today's plan, it is better to be still than to be still, so as not to cause extraneous branches. At this point, Xun Qin changed his words and asked expectantly, "Back to the point!, Lord Qin, the person I asked you to help monitor...... Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
"Jin Fuyu and Lu Tingxiang seem to just want to watch the excitement quietly, and have no intention of interfering in the 'hoeing conference'. Qin pouted bitterly and said, "In the past few days, I have been sending people to secretly monitor their every move, which is nothing more than eating and drinking or having a small gathering with friends in the rivers and lakes who are familiar with each other. Not long ago, the Wudang faction's Lone Sun and Lone Moon represented Qingfeng to feast the martial arts heroes in Tianxianglou, nominally 'banqueting the heroes', but in fact, they mainly feasted Jin Fuyu, Lu Tingxiang and Zuo Hongxuan, the head of the Qingcheng faction, and Miao'an, the head of the Emei faction, and everyone else was a foil. Interestingly, in addition to Gu Ri, Gu Yue and two Wudang disciples who sat at the main table that day, there were also Tang Yi, the owner of the Golden Jade House of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, Ning Luo, the eldest disciple of the Kunlun faction, and Xun Zaishan, a disciple of the Kongtong faction. These people who belong to different factions, and even have grievances, sit together, and instead of being tense and unhappy, they drink and talk happily, like a family, and there is no crack in the slightest. I guess...... Qingfeng and Jin Fuyu, the core figures of the two major factions, may have reached a tacit understanding to some extent, at least ...... The two sides will not cause unpleasantness at the 'hoeing and rape conference'. ”
Qingfeng and Jin Fuyu are both smart people, and they should understand the truth that 'the opportunity cannot be lost, and the time will never come again'. Xun Qindai's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was puzzled, "Qingfeng's purpose is to execute Liu Xunyi in public and save his reputation." Therefore, he didn't want Jin Fuyu to stir up trouble, so he took the initiative to show favor to him, which was already expected by us, and it was also in line with Qingfeng's position, which was not surprising. The strange thing is Jin Fuyu, he has always refused to accept Qingfeng as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he can't wait to dismantle his platform. According to common sense, Jin Fuyu cannot be indifferent to the God-given opportunity of the 'hoeing conference'. However, instead of taking the opportunity to make trouble, he took the initiative to cooperate with Qingfeng to perform a good show of 'turning hostility into jade'...... It's incredible. If it weren't for Jin Fuyu's other plans......"
"Qingfeng is not a fool, during the days when I sent someone to monitor Jin Fuyu, the eyes of the Wudang faction never left half a step. If Jin Fuyu had other plans, it would be impossible for Qingfeng not to be aware of it, and it would be impossible for him to rush to 'call him a brother' and bring humiliation on himself. Because of this, I said that Jin Fuyu and Qingfeng seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Qin said bitterly, "Xun Qin, you don't have to go around in circles, just say it......! Did you expect that?"
"Not bad!" Xun Qin nodded lightly in dismay, "as I expected...... Jin Fuyu may have guessed a clue and knew that this 'hoe rape conference' was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. In other words, Jin Fuyu had already guessed that someone wanted to use the 'hoe rape conference' to attack Qingfeng, so he deliberately stayed out of the matter, intending to ...... Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
Hearing this, Qin Ku's eyes changed suddenly, and he said suspiciously: "What do you mean...... Jin Fuyu already knows our plan?"
"He may not know our plans, or even who 'we' are, but he must know those who want to use the 'hoe and rape assembly' against the breeze...... By no means his own friend. Xun Qin said deeply, "Therefore, our fight to the death with Qingfeng is undoubtedly a battle between 'enemies' and 'enemies' for Jin Fuyu, no matter who loses or who wins? Otherwise, he would not have traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang City to participate in this 'hoeing conference' that had nothing to do with him, and he would not have cooperated with Qingfeng in a hypocritical manner. ”
"In your opinion, who leaked the secret to him?"
"There are no impermeable walls. Although I don't know where the news of Jin Fuyu came from, I dare to assert it...... Jin Fuyu is not the only one who has noticed that the 'wind and rain are coming'. Xun Qin's eyes were cold, and he said faintly, "Maybe...... The breeze also has a hunch. ”
"What?" Qin said in disbelief, "How could Qingfeng know ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his face was shocked, "Could it be Yuan Xiao?"
"I've received so little information that I'm not sure who is the problem. Xun Qin said helplessly, "But looking at Qingfeng's recent series of actions, he may already know that we want to be unfavorable to him." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Qingfeng has repeatedly held three large feasts, invited all the martial arts heroes, and even his 'sworn enemy' Jin Fuyu has drunk his wine, why didn't he invite Patriarch Teng, Lord Xiao Gu, and Lord Yunsheng? Of course, the Lord of the Qin Mansion should not have received his invitation. Xun Qin replied unhurriedly, "Relatives are distant and close, and there is a clear distinction." It is enough to show that in the heart of Qingfeng...... They have long regarded us as enemies, enemies that are even more difficult than Jin Fuyu. ”
"This ......" Xun Qin's bold speculation made Qin bitter and bitter, and he was speechless for a while.
"Perhaps, this 'game' between us and Qingfeng is no longer a hidden sneak attack, but an open confrontation. Xun Qin stared at the stunned Qin Ku with a solemn gaze, the words were full of sword light and sword shadows, and the sharp and bitter tone was particularly depressing, "This is also the current ...... The breeze envelops people's hearts, Yuan Xiao's situation is unknown, and Jin Fuyu is the only explanation for watching from the wall. ”
"With your intelligence, this cannot be unforeseen......"
"I did expect that, but I'm still worried. Xun Qin's expression darkened, shook his head and sighed, "I'm not worried that Qingfeng guessed that we wanted to be unfavorable to him, but I don't know how much Qingfeng guessed?"
"It should ...... Not much. At least Xie Xuan, Murong Bai, and Deng Quan are safe and sound......"
"Lord Qin, I don't dare to make a judgment easily now. Because the forces involved in this 'hoe and rape conference' are more complex than I imagined, and the relationships and thoughts of the various sects and factions of the Central Plains martial arts are more complicated than I imagined...... It's even more difficult to figure out than I thought. Xun Qin laughed at himself weakly, "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." If Qingfeng knows a little about it, we don't have to worry too much. But if he knows all our plans and still dares to hold the 'hoe conference' as scheduled, he will definitely be fully prepared. In this way, we are very likely to go from 'winning by surprise' to 'falling into the net' tomorrow. And this ...... That's why I'm hesitant and nervous. ”
"This ......" Qin Ku was secretly taken aback, and hesitated, "Right now, we have more 'chips' and 'points' than him, so the odds are ...... We seem to be a little bigger. ”
"Regardless of the attitudes of Jin Fuyu, Lu Tingxiang, Zuo Hongxuan and Miao'an, let's talk about Shaolin, Kunlun, Kongtong and Tangmen. If Qingfeng has firmly grasped them in his hands, and can even ignore the truth of the murder of King Beixian and insist on sharing the same enemy with Wudang, then our 'chips' and 'points' advantages will be gone. Hugh must forget that Qingfeng is still the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance. If we can't destroy his 'martial arts orthodoxy' signboard, and if we can't make him become a 'lonely man', it will be impossible to bring him down. Alas, I thought that I could use Jin Fuyu to stir up the muddy waters and give Qingfeng a more fatal blow, but now it seems that ...... It's me who underestimated them. ”
"If you think of the situation as the worst......" After hesitating for a long time, Qin Ku finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked intermittently, "What are your chances of winning?"
"The worst outcome of tomorrow is for everyone to put aside benevolence, morality, and prestige, and break out into an unprecedented battle between the rivers and lakes. Xun Qin slowly got up and replied word by word, "We and the Qingfeng faction both have masters to be reckoned with, and we all have a large number of loyal supporters. So I don't really know who wins and who loses. But if there are no other surprises, the biggest winner after the fight ...... There is no doubt that it will be Jin Fuyu. ”
"No matter what, there is no way back......
Looking at Qin Ku who was muttering to himself, Xun Xun's eyes moved, and he asked meaningfully, "Lord Qin, are you...... Is it timid?"
Qin Ku was stunned for a moment, then grinned and asked rhetorically: "Even if you are cowardly, I and the Qin clan ...... Will it end well?"
Hearing this, Xun Qin was relieved, his face was relieved, and then he raised his feet and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"Success or defeat, that is, the trend of the times, a life-and-death contest is inevitable. Now, I'm going to meet our last friend tonight, but we're going to kill the Breeze father and daughter...... One last thing on my mind. ”
