Chapter 278: Accomplices
Many people go from strangeness to familiarity, and then to work together for the same goal, advance and retreat together, and slowly become an inseparable part of each other's lives. But over time, you will find that there are many such people who eventually fall apart, all because of human selfishness and greed, and there is actually too much intrigue and mutual exploitation buried behind the unity.
Zhan Ying looked at Wuxin who was standing against the window for a long time, and was silent for a long time, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, because he really couldn't find any reason to refute or raise objections, after all, there have been too many surprises from unintentional hands these days, and people no longer know what they can't do unintentionally.
"It seems that I am a little old, and I have encountered something so frizzy, which makes the young man laugh. After being silent for a long time, Zhan Ying finally said with a wry smile.
Wuxin slowly turned around, looked at Zhan Ying and said: "The battle commander is humble, the reason why he can be so calm in Xia is because he is not a person in the court, although you and I have the same purpose, but how can that feeling be compared to that kind of feeling, so even if the battle commander is more anxious than just now, it is understandable, and Xia just occupies the role of a bystander in the game." ”
Zhan Ying listened to Wuxin's words, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, Wuxin's seemingly casual joke revealed the essence of the matter, and it also made his heart feel better, and he couldn't help but nodded at Wuxin with gratitude in his eyes, which was counted as thanks.
"Battle Commander, there is something I need to discuss with you," Wuxin said and put away the joke, looked at Zhan Ying seriously and continued: "There will definitely be some moves in the Xianwang Mansion in the future, I want to ask the War Commander to turn a blind eye and not look too strictly, the more flaws the other party exposes, the more beneficial it is for us, we just need to beat it appropriately and let them not do what they want too much." I wonder if the War Commander will agree?"
"Yes. After listening to Wuxin's words, Zhan Ying agreed without thinking, because he knew that Wuxin had his own measure, even if he really didn't care about anything, Wuxin himself would not let the enemy do whatever he wanted. And the emperor has already said that everything is arranged and dealt with by Wuxin, Wuxin didn't have to ask his opinion, but Wuxin still asked, this is one of the things he appreciates Wuxin.
Zhan Ying left, with a new agreement, which also heralded a new beginning for the whole thing, a seemingly good start.
Unintentionally looked through the open window and looked at Zhan Ying who was walking through the small courtyard in a hurry, and felt a lot of emotion. Once upon a time, his father also wore the same official uniform, and he insisted on it without regret for the revenge in his heart, but in the end he ended up with a sad ending.
It's not easy to change the world with the power of one person, but someone has to do it, just like Wuxin's father, Qin Feng, the hero who once moved the rivers and lakes, is like Wuxin, a demon king who can turn the world upside down. Although tomorrow is still unknown, how can we give up our efforts.
"He's gone?" At this moment, Ruyi slowly walked into the room with a pot of hot tea, and saw that there was only one person left in the room, and asked softly.
"Gone. Wuxin replied lightly, as if he didn't want to say anything, he always seemed to have a lot of things hidden in his heart, constantly doing and thinking.
Ruyi gently poured a cup of tea for Wuxin, slowly walked to Wuxin's side, handed the teacup to Wuxin, and didn't speak again, just standing quietly next to him, watching the sunset slowly fall again. It seems that the more tense the time, the faster time often flies, and it is a little too fast to tell today and tomorrow, the beginning and the end.
Wuxin turned his head to look at Ruyi, and gently took a sip of the hot tea that Ruyi had just brewed. A warm current instantly swept through the whole body, and people couldn't help but feel a sense of serenity.
"It's almost over. Wuxin looked at the sultry sunset on the horizon and said lightly. He had promised Ruyi that when everything was over, he would take Ruyi and find a place where no one knew him, and quietly accompany each other, only the two of them.
Ruyi didn't speak, gently leaned on Wuxin's body, slowly snuggled his head on Wuxin's shoulder, slowly closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare calm. Time flies so fast that no one seems to notice that their relationship has come to this point, and maybe they don't even notice each other.
Night, gradually falling, the sky became dark again, tonight's night sky does not seem to find the shadow of the moon, probably because the clouds floating in the air are not willing to be lonely, playing with the moonlight You chase me hide and seek.
Time passed little by little, just in the dead of night, when everyone was gradually sinking into a not very stable sleep, someone suddenly knocked on Zhan Ying's door, the sound was very urgent, especially in this dark night, it was really heard, and it made people's scalps tingle.
Zhan Ying, who had just fallen asleep for a short time, was awakened by this knock on the door for the first time, shook his groggy head, got up from the bed with a frown, walked to the door and slowly opened the door.
There were four or five men standing outside the door, six men and some of the Guards, but they were covered in blood, some were wounded, each with a weapon, and looked a little out of breath.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Ying, who was originally groggy, suddenly woke up, stared at the few people in front of him, fixed his eyes, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?!" The first thought he could think of was that the enemy had already made a move, maybe the enemy's 80,000 army had already attacked Shaolin.
"Commander, it's not good, the father and son of the King of Yanmen have been rescued!" said a six-door catcher who looked at Zhan Ying anxiously and gritted his teeth.
Hearing the words of his subordinates, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhan Ying's eyes, and then he seemed to suddenly understand something, and remembered what he had said to him during the day. And he did what he said unintentionally, and found a pretext of sending additional people to monitor the thousands of soldiers and horses in the Yanmen Palace, and removed almost half of the people who patrolled the building at night.
"Who can be saved?" Zhan Ying asked in a deep voice as he stared into the eyes of his subordinates.
"Red Feather! There are a lot of people on the other side, all of them are strong in martial arts, we are not opponents at all, if it weren't for half of the patrol people tonight, they wouldn't have escaped so easily! The subordinates are not in a good position, and the Qing commander will punish them!" the catcher knelt down as he spoke, with a look of remorse on his face.
Seeing this, Zhan Ying hurriedly bent down and helped his kneeling subordinates up, shook his head and said, "It's not your fault in this matter, how can you be punished." ”
With a look of gratitude on his face, the catcher opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a Royal Guards soldier behind him.
"And the people of the Xian Wang's Mansion!" said a blood-stained Imperial Guards soldier with red eyes open, his best brother had just died at the hands of the enemy's sword.
Zhan Ying listened to this man's words, bypassed his subordinates, came to the front of the soldier, stared at the man's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you see clearly?!"
The man nodded heavily, and said affirmatively: "It's true, I saw him in the guards of the Xianwang Mansion, and I can recognize the road he led, and I can recognize it when it turns to ashes!"
Zhan Ying's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Okay, you go down to rest first, take care of the wound, and leave this matter to me." ”
Several wounded hunters and soldiers glanced at each other, hesitated, and supported each other to retreat, hesitating as if they wanted to continue fighting, after a few days of getting along, the relationship between the two sides seemed to be no longer as stiff as at the beginning, and their attitudes had improved.
After a few wounded men left, Zhan Ying finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and the enemy finally couldn't help but start acting, which was equivalent to blowing the horn of his own side to enter the palace, and it was time to make some frontal counterattacks. He suddenly began to admire Wuxin's mind for no reason, and he was all said by Wuxin, as if everything was in Wuxin's control, and at the same time he felt lucky, glad that Wuxin was not the one who had two hearts, otherwise, he would not dare to think about it.
The father and son of the king of Yanmen were robbed, the news spread quickly throughout Shaolin like five thunderbolts, everyone was a little at a loss by this amazing news, all of a sudden all the chips seemed to be gone, the local army of 80,000 people was about to come to the city, and now the enemy leader was robbed again, this is undoubtedly a bad news that can not be too bad.
At the same time, the thousands of people and horses who had been entrenched at the foot of Shaolin suddenly seemed to have received some order, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a tent with no one on the head, and piles of bonfires that had not yet burned out.
No one knew exactly what was going on, why everything had suddenly changed overnight, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, it had become a lamb to be slaughtered without a glimmer of chance.
And all this does not seem to escape the eyes of one person at all, that is, unintentional. He was woken up by the men sent by Zhan Ying to deliver the letter, but he was not surprised and flustered as he imagined, but surprisingly calm, as if all this had been expected by him, or rather, he hoped that things would develop as they were now, which was just one of the steps in his plan.
Now, it's time for knife to knife, sword to sword, and it's time to put on a good show, and as for who is the one who finally stands on the stage, let it be witnessed by all those who survived......
