041 The best of both worlds, is it possible?
The reason why Xue Jianfeng dared to talk nonsense and reverse black and white when he returned to Tianshou City was naturally because he saw through Mo Zhongyong's character, and he saw that after Mo Zhongyong knew the truth of the matter, he would definitely brush his sleeves away, and disdain to return to Tianshou City to be complicit.
And the other person who knows the truth is Cao Wuluo, who is certain to die.
Of course, he is convinced that Cao Tianshou will definitely avenge his son, so sooner or later in the process of revenge, the truth will be revealed again. But it didn't affect him, because by that time, he should have got what he wanted.
Besides, Cao Wuluo did not die in his hands, and he was completely to blame.
Even if Cao Tianshou understands the whole story in the future, what can he do?
People like Xue Jianfeng always leave a way out of doing things, and they will never go to a dead end.
Obviously, Cao Tianshou believed him and entered the game.
Sure enough, Cao Tianshou chose to follow the original plan. Calculating the time, the elite guards he left in Changyou Mountain at this point should have forced Changyou to the predetermined position in the west. Then as long as he arrives, he can drive Changyou into the [Ten Directions Demon Descending Array], take it in one fell swoop, and then rush to the Chishui River, kill without hesitation, and achieve the goal of flooding Yaoguang Mountain.
The next thing will be handed over to the vengeful Cao Tianshou.
Tianshou City and Miaoyin Valley fought to a death, which was undoubtedly the ending he was most happy to see.
Everything was as he expected, when he arrived at Changyou Mountain, the three great commanders had already led three hundred elite guards, forcing Changyou to the westernmost cliff, and the dense [Binding Array] made Changyou have nowhere to hide and no way to retreat, as long as he continued to approach, Changyou could only choose to enter the western plain. And Xue Jianfeng's [Ten Directions Demon Descending Great Array] was opening his mouth and waiting for Chang Right to throw himself into the net.
Seeing Xue Jianfeng coming in person, a great commander who was closest to him hurriedly appeared to report the situation.
"General Yu, your subordinates have strictly followed your deployment and successfully forced a long right to the westernmost cliff, and there is no way to retreat. Just wait for your command to arrest you. ”
"Commander Wang, is there only one head on the right?" Xue Jianfeng was slightly dissatisfied.
"General Yu, on the way to the siege, I accidentally escaped a young man. ”
"That's it, one end is the other, and it's enough to make waves. Xue Jianfeng lowered his voice and said, "Have you already informed Commander Liu and Commander Li of the final plan?"
"Yes. ”
"Remember to be clean. Xue Jianfeng said, "After the matter is completed, each of the three of you is allowed to lead 100,000 Vermilion Bird Tiger Horses, reward 10 million gold beads, and enter the secret treasure house, and arbitrarily select three pieces of top-grade immortal equipment that match the Liuhe Realm." ”
"General Xie!"
"Commander Wang, this is just the beginning. Xue Jianfeng sneered, "With this general, there will definitely be a bright future." With a huge Tianshou City and Shifang Ancient Town as a strong backing, it is difficult not to get started. You have followed General Ben for many years and have been loyal, so how can I lose you? In addition, I might as well tell you three good news in advance. ”
"Three pieces of good news?!"
"Well, the first good news is that Cao Wuluo is dead. ”
"Ahh......h
"There will never be any young city lords from now on, understand?"
"The subordinates understand. ”
"The second good news is that Xiang Changsheng is also dead. ”
"It's-"
"Xiang Changsheng is indeed smart, this is something that General Ben has always admitted. Xue Jianfeng said, "It's a pity that smart people often have a short life, and you must keep this in mind." ”
"Subordinates remember!"
"The third good news is that Mo Zhongyong has run away. ”
Commander Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Congratulations to the General!"
"Congratulations on what?" Xue Jianfeng asked deliberately.
"Everyone knows that there are three ruthless characters around the city lord, one is you, and then Mo Zhongyong and Xiang Changsheng. Now that one of these two people is dead and the other is gone, then the city lord will leave you with the general, that is to say, from now on, the city lord will rely on the general for everything, and the millions of Vermilion Bird Tiger Riders will be under the command and dispatch of the general......"
"Commander Wang. Xue Jianfeng waved his hand and said, "Take a long-term view." ”
"The subordinates are stupid, and it is difficult to understand the mysteries in the general's heart. ”
"It's simple. Xue Jianfeng squinted and said, "General Ben will take his place." ”
"General, you are going to ......"
"That's right. Xue Jianfeng said, "The Cao family has developed so far, and for more than a thousand years, talents have withered. It's ridiculous that Cao Tianshou teased Yan Tianjian's three city lords from time to time, but he never thought about his bad situation. With Cao Wuluo's kind of goods, it is absolutely impossible for him to step into the Five Elements Realm for another thousand years. In other words, Cao Tianshou is more than three city lords, if he lives long enough, there will be no suspense for thirty terms. In that case, this city lord should be replaced, what do you think?"
"My subordinates don't know. "The commander of the king knelt on one knee, "The subordinates only know that they swear to follow the general." ”
A golden key appeared in the palm of Xue Jianfeng's left hand, and said with a smile:
"Commander Wang, do you know what this is?"
Commander Wang glanced at it and said movingly:
"Dare to ask the General, this is the key to the secret treasure house in the city?"
"Exactly. ”
"As far as my subordinates know, there are only two keys to the secret treasury. "One is in the hands of the city lord, and the other is locked in the secret treasury. I heard that it will be after the young city lord steps into the Liuhe realm......"
"Cao Wuluo's kind of idiot, the Seven Star Realm is difficult, and he still has the luxury of looking at the Liuhe Realm, which is ridiculous. Xue Jianfeng said, "Commander Wang, General Ben asserted that Cao Tianshou had been overwhelmed by the thought of revenge, and would soon make a moth to the fire to find death. We just need to do what we planned, and he will die on the way to avenge Cao Wuliu. As soon as Cao Tianshou died, the Cao clan no longer had a decent character, but the city could not be left without an owner for a day, only the general was still there, what do you think the King of Southern Vermilion Bird would do?"
"The subordinate understood. "The lord of the city is none other than the general. ”
"Hmph! Feng Shui takes turns, this general has endured for a hundred years, and it is the turn of the Xue family. Xue Jianfeng said, "Get up, pass the order, and immediately expel Changyou into the [Ten Directions Demon Descending Array]. ”
"Yes!"
Commander Wang galloped away, and Xue Jianfeng sneered:
"You're not stupid. ”
.....................................
Heavenly Sword City is in sight.
Xu Ruling in pause, he shook his head and said:
"Su Yan, I'll wait for you here for an hour, go and return quickly, and don't wait for the obscurity. ”
"Brother Xu, are you sure you won't go to meet my great-grandfather?"
"Don't go. ”
"My great-grandfather didn't eat people. Solemnly smiled slyly.
"I'm not afraid of eating people. Xu Rulin said with a smile, "What I'm afraid of is that as soon as I see your grandfather, you will speak to your grandfather, and then Brother Xu." ”
"Ha!" said solemnly, "I just think there's something wrong with the seniority, it turns out to be here." ”
"Don't pretend, hurry. Xu Rulin said, "We still have to go to Changyou Mountain immediately, I can't believe in Xue Jianfeng's promise." ”
"By the way, Brother Xu, what the hell is Xue Jianfeng doing?" said solemnly, "Since you plan to take me to do things together, you shouldn't hide it from me, you should be honest with you." ”
"Well, this matter has something to do with your Heavenly Sword City. Xu Rulin said, "But that's not the point, the real purpose of our going to Changyou Mountain is not exactly to stop Xue Jianfeng from doing anything, but to meet with Mo Chihu." ”
Solemnly frowned slightly:
"What kind of treasure is there in Changyou Mountain? Xue Jianfeng is going, Mo Chihu is going, and you are going too. I don't care, you have to tell me the truth before I go into town. ”
"I'll tell you in detail on the road when you come out. Xu Rulin said, "Now, I just want to reach a cooperation with Mo Chihu, hoping to resurrect Ye Mingzhu." ”
"Resurrection?!"
"With your family background, you should have heard of [Nirvana], right?"
Solemnly stunned, nodded and said:
"It's documented, but it's vague, almost a passing one. Is there really one?"
"Yes, the answer is from Mo Chihu. Xu Rulin said, "But it is definitely not an easy thing to get the [Nirvana Pill] from Mo Chihu. I don't want to fight the whole of Myokin Valley, it's obviously not a pleasant thing. But for the sake of Ye Mingzhu, I have no choice. Hey, you can only take one step at a time. Solemnly, don't delay any longer, go and come back quickly. ”
"Wait for me. "Serious and no longer entangled, a few ups and downs, gone far.
Xu Rulin sat on the ground and fell into deep thought.
If it was just to avenge Ye Mingzhu, then it would have been possible to retire. With his own realm cultivation, plus a person who has no scruples, even if Tianshou City and Tianlongju join forces, they can't help him.
If he can't beat him, he can run away, he has absolute confidence, if he simply runs, not to mention the ruthless characters of Tianshou City and Tianlongju, even the Great King, Shen Zhongyang, and Ji Shakong can't keep him.
The problem is that he's not a runner.
Again, the matter is not destined to end.
There are only two ways to truly end this revenge that hurts each other.
Either Cao Tianshou dies, or he dies.
It was not too difficult to kill Cao Tianshou, but what was difficult was the intervention of the Great King and the Southern Vermilion Bird King that followed. In this regard, Xu Rulin firmly believes that officials protect each other.
Thankfully, he left a way out for himself.
If things get out of hand, he should be able to get out of here.
But now, he has no time to care about Cao Tianshou's revenge, Cao Wuluo's death will definitely make Cao Tianshou desperate, and this situation is exactly the same as Li Chenggang. After coming into contact with Lu Yicheng and Yang Wan'er, he could completely conclude that the person who won the [Heart Armor] at a sky-high price in the No. 9 Chamber at that time was Li Chenggang.
From this point of view, Li Chenggang's situation is also precarious.
With Cao Tianshou's strength, he will soon be able to inquire about everything from certain channels.
Xu Rulin has stayed in Shifang Ancient Town for three years, and he still knows something about Li Chenggang, in his opinion, Li Tianyi deserves to die, but Li Chenggang is not guilty of death, especially in terms of revenge for his son, he undoubtedly made an extremely correct choice. In other words, he found the real culprit.
Xu Rulin planned to give Li Chenggang a wake-up call when he passed by Shifang Ancient Town.
However, this may be an extra move, Li Chenggang dared to make this choice, and he had already thought about the consequences. After the death of his only son Li Tianyi, for him, life and death are no longer idle matters.
And Cao Tianshou's way of avenging his son is definitely different, and he is very likely to be angry with anyone.
In other words, Cao Tianshou will make a desperate bet and choose to let countless innocent people accompany him to the funeral.
Then, the plan to flood Yaoguang Mountain will certainly not end there. Even if Xue Jianfeng kept his promise and really left the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, Cao Tianshou would do it himself.
Cao Wuluo's death ruined his hundreds of years of hard work, and everything he did was in vain.
Xu Rulin didn't mind Tianshou City changing its flag at all, what he was currently minding was how to cooperate with Mo Chihu to get a [Nirvana Dan] that resurrected Ye Mingzhu?
The core conflict in this matter is that Mo Chihu is also trying to save his son.
This is the key to making Xu Rulin anxious and helpless.
Just like empathy, who would want to give up saving their son and resurrect a strange woman?
In this matter, Xu Rulin can hardly take strong measures, which is unreasonable and unreasonable.
Now his only hope is that after collecting the five materials for refining the [Nirvana Dan], the [Nirvana Dan] that will be refined is not the only one.
Xu Rulin thought about it, and inadvertently thought of the wandering Taoist who left a great opportunity for Ye Mingzhu. It's incomprehensible that this damn thing would do such an unconscionable thing.
In addition, what is the spiritual creature left in Ye Mingzhu's body?
At this point, Xu Rulin has no feasible way, he can only take one step at a time, looking forward to the unexpected and satisfying development of things.
It's just this best of both worlds, is it possible?
