Chapter 242: The Beginning of the Gunsmoke
A flower blooms, a hundred flowers kill.
The geese go to Honglai, how old are the people?
The arrival of the dance banquet made the momentum of tonight's battle almost completely tilt to the side of King Yueyang. Gains and losses are potential, and they are not related to life and death, but they are even higher. If there is no general trend to support the situation, it means that the time and place are favorable, and everyone is inferior, and everything is controlled by others.
Yueyang Tower, seventy-seven.
"In previous years, my ancestor once said that the most beautiful in the world is none other than the Holy Queen, and if the world seeks to be high, the ghost is supreme. When Penglai asked the immortals, these two people were born with affection, and they were enviable. It's just that somehow in the end, they didn't become a couple, but became enemies. It's really puzzling, I wonder if you know why?"
"Quack. ”
The weak candlelight did not illuminate the entire chamber, and the dim sight matched with Gu Fan's bloody face looked particularly gloomy. It's like a ghost in the abyss, I don't know when I climbed into the world. After Gu Fan's gloomy question, Xia Hou pursed his eyes and shouted disdainfully: "I said that you are such a virtuous person, the old things of our village chief, can you gossip about them?"
"Hehe..."Gu Fan smiled gloomily: "People are not plants and trees, who doesn't have some unspeakable past? I'm just curious, I want to know a thing or two." Could it be that there are really some secrets in it that can't see the light?"
"Smack!" Xia Hou slapped the table vigorously, and then shouted: "I'll go to your mother's know! If you want to beg for a fight, just say it..."
"Brother Hou, that's it. ”
Xia Hou still had a few words to scold, and Xia Xun, who had been looking at Yingshui for a long time, slowly retracted his gaze and gently pressed his hand on Xia Hou's shoulder: "He really wants to beg for a beating, but I will deal with the kung fu on his face." Xia Xun turned his eyes to look at Gu Fan, and continued: "Uncle Gu is too famous. Although my grandfather is high, there are two ancestors above him, so he can't be supreme. Otherwise, he would not have to go far and escape to the north. As for the past between my grandfather and my dancer's uncle, I think my uncle knows better than us juniors. It's not up to us to speak, and we don't need to waste too much of our tongues here. If there's anything else to say, just say it, and when you're done, it's our turn. ”
Noncommittal, Gu Fan smiled gloomily: "Direct enough." ”
slowed down, his voice became deeper, and he glanced at the four people at the table: "Since you are direct, then I won't beat around the bush." To be honest, you did surprise me a bit. But I'm not surprised that you can calculate that I will choose to make a move here, but I am surprised that you have the strength to come to me with these people. Even if you can calculate people, calculate everyone's means, and calculate my position, why do you think that the four of you are sure to defeat me?"
Xia Xun spread his hands and replied: "You are very strong, the three veins are invincible among your peers, if I am alone, of course I am not your opponent." But there are only two of you, and even with the corpses on your back, you can't count three. And I have four people here, no more, no less, just one more person. There is a lot of power in numbers, and it will naturally be much easier to take you down. ”
"There is strength in numbers?"
"Well, that's true. ”
"Haha!"
After Xia Xun finished speaking, Gu Fan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh wildly. While laughing, he fixed his eyes on Xia Xun: "Are you joking with me?"
Xia Xun shook his head seriously: "I'm serious, I'm not joking." ”
"Just the four of you?" Gu Fan asked.
"Yes. Xia Xun said.
The smile faded, and Gu Fan's expression changed slightly to seriousness.
Obviously, he didn't underestimate Xia Xun, let alone think that what Xia Xun said now was pretentious. He slowly put the gossip compass on the table in his right hand, and then turned his gaze to Mo Xian, who was sitting on the left side of Xia Xun, and asked, "Can you bring the Seven Star Sword tonight?"
"Nope. The word cold came out of Mo Xian's mouth.
Gu Fan's eyes moved to the right a little, and he skimmed to Xia Hou: "Rushing to the peak of the sky, half stepping into the apocalypse..."
"What a fart? Lao Tzu can beat you into a pig's head, and you care so much about me?"
Before the ancient Sanskrit words were finished, Xiahou broke off and shouted angrily. Gu Fan didn't pay much attention to this, he continued to move his gaze to the right, looked at the peony, and said: "Rush to the peak of the sky, ask the Heavenly Wisdom Master, and learn the Xinglin medicine technique." ”
Peony subconsciously pressed her little hand on the table and did not answer. After reading everyone and saying a word, Gu Fan looked back at Xia Xun again. At this time, the look on his face was much more contemptuous than before: "Mo Xian is a talent, and the palm of the seven stars can fight three thousand pure yang white clothes, and now there are no seven stars in hand, no matter how strong it is, it is only in the middle of the apocalypse." Even with the addition of your two cousins and lovers who have reached the pinnacle of the sky, what kind of climate can you achieve? Could it be that you want to repeat the scene of the first battle in that deserted village to me?"
"You're thinking too much. ”
Xia Xun withdrew his outstretched palm, and looked at Gu Fan's gaze flatly: "The strategy starts at the end of the micro, but it can't be repeated, that plan is useless to you." To deal with you, my easiest way is to drop ten times with one force, and just press it. ”
"Force?" Gu Fan's contemptuous expression retracted a little again.
"Yes. Xia Xun nodded seriously.
"Just the four of you?" It seemed that he really couldn't see through Xia Xun's thoughts, and Gu Fan asked the previous question again.
"That's right, it's just the four of us. ”
Xia Xun nodded seriously again and said, "The four of us have taken advantage of you." Therefore, you don't have to worry, no one will interfere in our bureau in Yueyang Tower tonight, you can rest assured about this. ”
After Xia Xun finished speaking, Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then his scarlet mouth showed two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth, as if he had just finished eating people, Sen Sen smiled: "Should I say that you are arrogant, or are you ignorant?" I have the blood of the ancestor of the witch god, and I have practiced in Wushan for more than nine years with my ancestors at the age of three, and I have been practicing under the two uncles and ancestors of Nanzhao and Feng Shui at the age of thirteen. The three initiates, although they have not yet attained great success, why do you think that four people can stop me?"
A little longer, the speed of speech is extremely fast, and there is a hint of anger in it.
After Gu Fan finished speaking for a while, Xia Xun slowly stood up. Holding his hands behind him, he walked very casually to a nearby utility cabinet, and unhurriedly took out more than ten candles from it: "If you believe it, if you don't believe it, you won't believe it, I've already answered your question once, if you think it's unrealistic, then it's useless to say more." Your strength is indeed very strong, so I have to admit that it takes some means to stop you. And there's..."
While speaking, Xia Xun took out a handful of fire folds from his arms, lit the candles he took respectively, and then naturally placed them all over the room. It felt as if he was doing something innocuous at random.
While lighting the candle, he continued to say lightly: "Also, you said that you missed something. You talk about yourself, but you don't talk about the person next to you. But you know, he doesn't necessarily have to be a fuel-efficient lamp. Besides, it's because of him that I've figured out a lot of things that I haven't figured out before, which is important. ”
"What's the matter?"
Gu Fan's eyes narrowed, he didn't ask who he was missing, but directly asked this person what Xia Xun had figured out. He should have known that Xia Xun had already guessed something, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
"Li Chang'an's back hand. ”
Xia Xun lit a candle and placed it firmly on the bottom side of the windowsill, and then said lightly: "Although, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he has a million iron horsemen in his hands, tens of millions of soldiers in battle armor, the apocalypse is like a forest, and there are thousands of kings, and he will clear tens of millions of miles of rivers and lakes in the southern regions in a few days. But from what I have been able to do, there are some discrepancies. He did have a good army, but his troops were stationed in the states and counties of the Southern Regions, and there was no sign of assembly. If this is calculated, the military strength he can mobilize in one county and one state is no more than forty or fifty thousand people at most. And it is precisely this kind of military power that he can swallow the major mansions of the rivers and lakes in the Southern Regions in a silent night, and clear the thousands of miles of government palaces and courts in the Southern Regions, which is very incredible. This is because two armies can easily win a battle with twice the strength of the enemy, and if they want to win the battle with the force of a whale, they must have five or even ten times the strength of the enemy. However, the disciples of one courtyard and one mansion are four or five thousand people, and if he calculates the military strength of 50,000 in one city, it is impossible for him to eat so many Jianghu court forces in one night. That's what I've been figuring out. ”
Xia Xun said this, Gu Fan glanced out of the balcony and looked at the other end of the Yingshui River. Xia Xun also caught this action of his, and seemed to understand the meaning of his eyes. Xia Xun raised a palm and said, "It's not just them, although the Dongzhou Dance Clan is talented and strong, it is also strong. With their energy, if they want to help Li Changan, it can certainly be done. But now that the overall situation has not risen, it is already the limit that they can send one million troops, and they absolutely do not dare to transfer the whole army to the south. Therefore, there must be someone else who lurks in this dark place. ”
"Huh. ”
Xia Xun paused after speaking, taking advantage of this gap, Gu Fan smiled noncommittally, and at the same time withdrew his gaze from afar and looked at the candle in Xia Xun's hand. The scarlet in his eyes hid a trace of contempt again, and asked, "You only guessed it after you came here, right?"
"Not guessing, but sure. ”
Xia Xun shook his head: "As early as the second day after Luoxi Mountain was swallowed by whales, we had a guess. We know very well how capable Li Changan is in Yueyang City, and if he can crush Yueyang Yiyuan overnight, there must be a knife hidden deep behind him. However, that is only our guess, after all, this knife has always been mysterious, and no one has ever been able to trace them..."
At this point, there seemed to be something to follow, but Xia Xun suddenly cut off. At this time, the candles in his hand were placed in various parts of the room, illuminating the entire side room, even the reflection of people and things, only a narrow black shadow. Xia Xun slowly put his hands back on his waist, stood on the edge of the window, looked at the shadow under Gu Fan, and then continued to say: "It wasn't until I came here and felt the breath of this knife that I was sure that our guess was right. ”
"Breath?"
Xia Xun's words were vague, Gu Fan had nothing to say, Xia Hou, who had been holding his temperament down, couldn't help but interject: "What breath, why didn't I ask?"
"Hidden in the smell of blood - the smell of hidden knives. ”
