Chapter 975: Luzhou Inn (3)
Although the teacher was unfavorable and was killed by Abaolu by thunder, the situation in the inn was far from being as bad as Yan Bugui and the disciples of the Sage Palace's Mansion imagined.
At least, compared with Xie Xuan's lofty position and Liu Xunyi's collapse, the odds of winning the Xianwang Mansion have surged from the initial four or five percent to eight or nine percent. According to the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Xianwang Mansion is a sure winner.
The contest between Xie Xuan and Liu Xunyi cannot be called a "battle" at all, it can only be regarded as a "chase and escape".
Under Xie Xuan's relentless pursuit, Liu Xunyi, who fled in embarrassment, was gradually forced into a corner. At this moment, the lobby of the Luzhou Inn was already devastated, but Xie Xuan still attacked fiercely and fiercely unscrupulously, and shot mercilessly.
"Mansion Master, you can't kill him now!"
Seeing that Xie Xuan's murderous heart was rising, Yan Bugui was worried that Liu Xunyi would not be able to dodge and return to the west, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to dissuade: "Madam and the leader of the Qingfeng Alliance have an order to capture Liu Xunyi alive, you can't kill him!"
Hearing this, Xie Xuan, Liu Xunyi, and Xun Qin's eyes moved at the same time, and the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the goose didn't return and spoke in time, otherwise Xie Xuanzhen didn't know how to end it?
"No! I swore that I must use Liu Xunyi's head to worship the spirit of the mansion lord in the sky!" Xie Xuan, who was fierce and vicious, pretended to be indignant, and was still stubborn in the face of the dissuasion of the wild goose not returning, "I know what the Qingfeng Alliance Lord and his wife mean, it's a big deal...... Hand over the body to them. ”
"Never!" Seeing that Xie Xuan's six relatives did not recognize, the wild goose was shocked, "Liu Xunyi will die sooner or later, why rush now? His dog's life is still useful......"
"No, do you know that the Lord and Lady of the Qingfeng Alliance have been refusing to believe me, they doubt me...... Suspect that I am harboring Liu Xunyi!" Xie Xuan pretended to be ashamed and complained, "For today's plan, only by killing Liu Xunyi with his own hands can Xie Mou's innocence be proven......"
"Tonight's incident, I will tell Madame and the Qingfeng Alliance Master the truth, I believe they have their own judgment on your truth and truth. Seeing Xie Xuan gritting his teeth, and Liu Xunyi, who was huddled in the corner, was like a lamb to be slaughtered, the goose did not return to become more and more worried, and patiently knew his affection and moved him with reason, "Until now, I don't have to hide it from you." The reason why Madam doubts you is because the person who rescued Liu Xunyi from Lin'an was Xun Qin, and Xun Qin was the person of the King of Shaoqin. After the death of the mansion master, who else in the Xianwang Mansion can secretly contact the Shaoqin King? Madam is the first to think of you...... In fact, it is human nature. You might as well think about it carefully, if you kill Liu Xunyi now...... Will there be a suspicion of 'murder and extermination'? Even if you can prove that you are not shielding him, but ...... How can you prove that you don't have a secret connection with the King of Shaoqin?"
"This ......"
"Right now, Liu Xunyi is already in our hands, and it is easy to kill him. Yan Bugui stepped forward slowly, carefully calming Xie Xuan's emotions, "If you want to clear Madame's suspicions about you, there is only one way." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Capture them all and leave them at the disposal of the Lady and the Breeze Alliance. When the time comes, all doubts will be solved, and your doubts will be ...... It will also be self-defeating. ”
"This ...... That's it!"
"Abaolu ......" Seeing that Xie Xuan and Yan did not return, the worried Xun Qin hurriedly urged, "We must not let Liu Xunyi fall into their hands......"
"Understand ......"
At this moment, Abaoru, who was controlled by sweat medicine and gradually lost his senses of sight, hearing, and touch, was almost unsteady on his feet. His eyes were blurry, his ears were noisy and messy, and he could only vaguely see clumps of constantly shaking figures, but it was difficult to distinguish the location of Xie Xuan and Liu Xunyi.
Shaking his head desperately to keep himself from falling asleep. Again and again, he squeezed his eyebrows and tried to discern what was around him. With the feeling of imminent departure, he carried the scimitar and staggered towards the direction of the goose not returning.
It seems that Abaolu, who has a confused vision, mistakenly mistook Yan Bugui for Xie Xuan.
"Haha......"
In the laughter of the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, before he could swing his knife and slash, the goose did not return and jumped up, kicked three times in the air, and kicked the unprepared Abaolu far away, smashing heavily into a piece of overturned tables and chairs.
No matter how much he screamed and struggled, he couldn't stand up anyway.
At this moment, not only was Abaolu on the verge of losing his will? Xiao Yang, Su Hu, Xun Budao, and the other masters of the Western Regions also experienced a fight just now, which made the effect of the medicine intensify. One by one, they were dizzy, the world was spinning, and they couldn't help but stagger, and the slightest step was to mix their left foot with their right foot, and even standing still became a luxury.
"Just now, he was a hero who would rather die than give in, but now he is not even as good as a bear. Yan Bugui looked around at the crumbling Abaolu and the others, and the corners of his mouth unabashedly curled up with a contemptuous smile, "Liu Yi, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin are far from being as smart as you imagined, you are too worried." ”
Faced with the profound ridicule of the goose not returning, Liu Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and his face was terrified.
In fact, he couldn't believe from beginning to end that Liu Xunyi and Xunqin, who had always been in sight of the dragon, would take it lightly and mistakenly ambush, especially ...... Such a shoddy ambush.
However, things went the other way he envisioned. In the end, apprehension turned into apprehension, suspicion turned into suspicion, and the situation in front of him was obvious to all, so that Liu Yi had to believe and re-examine whether his "caution" was "too much"?
After all, with the "trance" state of Liu Xunyi and these people, there was no room for resistance in the face of the elite disciples led by Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui. In other words, even if Xie Xuan led people to rush in in one go, the result would not be any different.
However, due to Liu Yi's "self-clever" admonition outside the inn, the two disciples of the Xianwang Mansion who were killed died tragically under Abaolu's knife. Now that I think about it, they may not have to investigate first, let alone lose their lives in vain.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi inevitably went up and down, and was uneasy. is worried that he is smart but is mistaken by his cleverness, worried that Xie Xuan and Yan will not return to settle accounts after the autumn, and worried that two innocent and vain fellow disciples will ask for their lives late at night.
"Fourth Master...... That's true. At this moment, Liu Yi no longer dared to "talk nonsense", so he could only follow the voice of Yan Bugui, "Since Liu Xunyi is no longer worried, then ...... What about the others?"
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Yan Bugui's tone sank and he said unhappily, "Except for Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin, the others are not left." ”
"Yes......"
"Wait!" Seeing that the wild goose did not return and wanted to kill Xun Qin's men, Xie Xuan inevitably felt abrupt, and muttered, "Since they have no power to resist, why don't they capture them together?"
"Isn't the mansion master joking?" Faced with Xie Xuan's serious proposal, Yan Bugui couldn't help laughing, "One, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin are the culprits of evil, and catching them is enough to explain to the heroes of the world." As for the other cats and dogs, no one cares at all. On the other hand, these people are not powerless scholars, but outlaws who have experienced a hundred battles, and if they stay by their side, won't there be endless troubles?"
"This ......"
Xie Xuan knew that it was right for the wild goose not to return, and he also understood that he should be a killer when he stood in the position of the lord of the Xianwang Mansion. But after all, he is Xun Qin's "ally", if he is allowed to kill Yan and sit idly by, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leave a rift in the hearts of Xun Qin and the King of Shaoqin.
"The lord of the mansion had a great friendship with Pan Baye during his lifetime, Pan Yuyin is the granddaughter of Pan Baye, and she can't help but be weak, is she ......?"
"When did the mansion master become so womanly and benevolent?" Xie Xuan didn't finish speaking, Yan Bugui had already waved his hand impatiently to interrupt, "It's true that Pan Yuyin is Pan Chuba's granddaughter, but from the moment she decided to help Liu Xunyi, she was no longer a friend of the Xianwang Mansion. The lord of the mansion treated the Pan family with deep affection and righteousness during his lifetime, and this woman was not only grateful, but mixed with the rebellious traitors of the Xianwang Mansion. In my opinion, Pan Yuyin will take revenge, and the crime will be increased by one degree, and he should be killed immediately to keep Pan Chuba's first life. ”
"This ......"
When Xie Xuan hesitated, the determined Yan Bugui suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, ignoring Xie Xuan's astonishment, and strode towards Pan Yuyin, who was half-awake by the stairs.
Obviously, although Xie Xuan is still nominally the lord of the mansion at this moment, the person who actually controls the overall situation has become a goose and does not return. Xie Xuan wants to cover up, saying that there are many mistakes, not only can not reverse the situation, but it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Xun Qin......"
The flustered Liu Xunyi looked anxious and hurriedly called out Xun Qin's name. Although it is not explicitly stated, the deep meaning is self-evident.
He didn't let Xun Qin make a choice, but let her find a way to resolve the crisis.
After all, with Liu Xunyi's temperament, even if he can ignore the lives of Abaolu and Xiao Yang, it is impossible to abandon Pan Yuyin's safety.
This section, not only Xun Qin knows, but Xie Xuan also knows it.
Because of this, at the moment when the goose did not return and was determined to kill, Xie Xuan's eyes looking at her gradually changed from tangled to dignified, then from dignified to indifferent, and finally from indifferent to ruthless.
In a moment, time and space seemed to stand still, the air seemed to freeze, and the thoughts and heartbeats of everyone present involuntarily stagnated for a moment...... Xun Qin, who looked at Liu Xunyi and his mind became more and more entangled, Yu Guang inadvertently glanced at Xie Xuan, who was sinking like water, and his face changed, and a terrifying thought came into his mind, making him tremble, gasping and feeling a chill all over his body for no reason.
With just one expression, the thoughtful Xun Qin was enough to guess Xie Xuan's plan. Premeditated in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong...... Final Plan.
It's not the best option, and it's not the safest option. On the contrary, it is Xie Xuan's worst plan, and it is also the most risky, variable, and uncertain plan.
However, it is also the last line of defense for the camera in times of desperation.
After all, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin didn't have enough time to prepare tonight's plan with Xie Xuan in detail, and they didn't even have a chance to meet and communicate beforehand. He can only speculate on the other party's intentions while deploying his own arrangements, while secretly praying that the other party coincides with him.
From beginning to end, there was only a letter handed over by Lei Zhen, a simple time and place. As for the rest...... We can only rely on mutual tacit cooperation and both sides to act at the right time.
Tonight's chase is like a big drama that will be performed on stage without rehearsal.
From the moment Xie Xuan led the people to arrive at the Luzhou Inn, the show started and debuted. None of the people in this scene get a chance to do it all over again. Even if you go on the wrong stage, sing the wrong words, or have the wrong intentions, you must continue to act.
Because tonight's stage not only has "dramas", but also "officials".
If the "officials" are allowed to see the slightest flaw, this scene will surely fall apart and fall short.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xie Xuan had already planned two strategies before acting.
The best strategy is to capture Liu Xunyi alive and let Xun Qin and his party go under the pretext that the worst thing can be to create an opportunity for them to escape on the way to the escort, so that they can meet with each other in the future.
The next strategy is that if it backfires and you can't justifiably let Xun Qin and his party go, then ...... Without doing anything, the "drama" teamed up to kill all the "officials" with lightning speed, blocked all news, and then Xie Xuan took Liu Xunyi back to Luoyang to resume his life.
As for how to explain in front of Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao, can you explain it clearly...... Xie Xuan was not sure, so he could only take one step at a time.
Because of this, when Xie Xuan watched Xun Qin and his party unable to resist, and when Yan did not return and decided to kill the killer, he had no choice but to use his next strategy to kill Yan Bugui and the disciples of the Xian Wangfu present with his own strength, and he could not leave a single living mouth.
This section is the real reason why he insisted on refusing to let Gan Yonglin and the disciples of the Gan family enter the Luzhou Inn.
