Chapter 32: Peace

When Soyanagiso took over the deal, there was controversy within itself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A small mercenary force like them in Yizhou can't pick and choose the tasks issued by their employers in order to survive, but they can't offend a super sect like Qingcheng to death, so sometimes they have to walk a tightrope out of desperation.
This is the reason why Bai Ya began to be tough after he noticed this, and he was not really brainless enough to joke with his life, thinking that Xiangliuzhuang couldn't kill him.
Whether he is famous or not, or the so-called rookie on the sword list, but the martial arts realm only has artistic conception after all. Xiangliuzhuang is a small force in Yizhou, but there are always a few innate warriors in it, which is different from those green forest cottages that occupy the mountains as kings.
As a result, the current situation is very embarrassing.
Xiang Liuzhuang's assessment was wrong, and if they really passed the last hurdle by Bai Ya, then they could only keep their promise and release them.
After all, they are not some kind of bandits and bandits with cats and dogs, not to mention the customs and habits of the Shenzhou world, they have attached great importance to promises since ancient times, even if they are really first-class thieves, they rarely break their promises.
Just like the Black Wind Thief and others can be said to do all kinds of evil in the rivers and lakes, they are thieves among thieves, and their methods are ferocious and can stop children from crying at night. But after the Changxing dart game was robbed, they were still willing to plant flags and gamble with them, because they really believed that the other party would keep their promises.
But if you keep your promise and release people, Xiangliuzhuang will be equivalent to the failure of the mission. If you can't get Dou Sanniang's reward, forget it, and offend Qingcheng in vain.
These thoughts quickly swirled in Su Huan's mind, and finally spoke again.
"The concubine is not here to fight with Bai Shaoxia, just to discuss!"
"Discuss?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "What are you discussing?"
"It's not a secret, Benzhuang stopped Bai Shaoxia and his party this time, because he was entrusted by someone to have to do it, and I hope Shaoxia will understand!" Su Huan thought about it and said slowly, "If Bai Shaoxia is willing to stay for another day, then Benzhuang will also have an explanation." The concubine can promise that at this time tomorrow, your group can leave safely, and now you don't need to go through the last hurdle, what does the young man think?"
"Hehe, what if you don't want to?" Bai Ya sneered.
Although Bai Ya was not an expert negotiator in the marketing work he did in his previous life, he often figured out the customer's thoughts at the wine table. Xiangliuzhuang has now been forced into a corner, and there is not much room for maneuver, so no matter how good Su Huan's speaking skills are, it is not difficult to guess the intention.
Xiang Liuzhuang's move must have been instructed by Dou Sanniang, there is no doubt about it.
Dou Sanniang retreated without hesitation in the face of Baiya and a few people, because she felt that her strength was insufficient, so she needed time to gather her companions. This time can range from two days to five days.
If there is someone on Dou Sanniang's side near Jiangyang County, then two days is enough. If you are coming from Chengdu, it will take five days to add communication and preparation, as well as the adjustment time after transmission.
It is not difficult to guess that the probability of coming from Chengdu is too small, and the variables are too large, so there is basically no need for the other party to hire Xiangliuzhuang, so it must be directly looking for someone from nearby.
However, Dou Sanniang's task issued by Xiang Liuzhuang will leave room for herself. Therefore, it is most likely that Xiangliuzhuang will be asked to leave Baiya and the others for three days.
Bai Ya and the others calculated from the moment they entered Xiangliuzhuang, and it was almost a day now. If he stayed for another day according to Su Huan's request, Xiangliuzhuang would actually be able to give an account to his employer.
As for Baiya, they will be blocked by Dou Sanniang and his group who have recruited all the people, one side is to recuperate, and the other side is worried and scared in Xiangliuzhuang for two days, and they will lose half of it before the fight starts.
Once this happens, the most annoying thing is that Bai Ya can't find fault with Xiang Liuzhuang, after all, people will say that this is your own compromise, and there is no complaint about defeat.
If Bai Ya's brain hadn't entered the water, he would naturally not agree to Su Huan's condition.
In fact, the person who is now forced into a corner is not him, but Xiangliuzhuang.
Baiya now only has the last level left, if he is defeated, it is okay, as long as he does not die in Xiangliuzhuang, Qingcheng will not retaliate afterwards.
But what if White Cliff wins?
Then it's troublesome, Xiangliuzhuang not only offended Qingcheng, but Dou Sanniang's side will not accept them. It is equivalent to becoming a rat in the bellows, and the two ends are angry.
Xiangliuzhuang took on this tricky task as a small force, whether it was to repay favors or have big interests, as long as things didn't work out, then it would be a flash in the pan.
Since they are willing to take the risk of offending Qingcheng, they will join the camp of Dou Sanniang's side to fight for the heir afterwards, in order to avoid Qingcheng's revenge at the official level in the future.
Of course, if you want to avoid Qingcheng's revenge, this alone is not enough.
Because Xiangliuzhuang is neither a formal Xianwu sect, nor a green forest warrior.
The former killed Qingcheng's disciples in the battle for succession, and Qingcheng would not provoke a sect war for this. If the latter supports the winner of the contender, then there will also be an official position. Qingcheng is hindered by the immortal oath, so he can't be held accountable.
The embarrassment of Xiangliuzhuang's situation lies in the fact that it is a small force that cannot be treated by the Xianwu Sect, and individuals may be able to get an official body, but the overall force is impossible, so Qingcheng can still retaliate afterwards, it is nothing more than losing some temperance.
So under what circumstances would Qingcheng rather lose the festival and take revenge on Xiangliuzhuang?
There is no doubt that it must be the case of thunder and anger, in other words, that is, Bai Ya died at the hands of Xiangliuzhuang.
On the one hand, you have to win the White Cliff, and on the other hand, you have to control the intensity of the battle, which is not ordinarily difficult.
This is why Xiangliuzhuang had to let Bai Ya go to the Demon Tower in the first place.
They just want to use the Demon Suppression Tower to consume Bai Ya's physical strength and will layer by layer, otherwise it would be good to directly summon a ghost monster that the other party can't fight, can they use such painstaking scheming?
"If Shaoxia is unwilling, then Benzhuang has no choice but to summon a demon beast comparable to a martial artist at the peak of artistic conception to fight with Bai Shaoxia!" Su Huan pursed her lips and said solemnly.
"The combat power of this demon beast is even better than the previous Dream Demon Fox, but in this way, the result is unpredictable, and it is not a good thing for Honzhuang or Bai Shaoxia!"
"Haha, how can people be afraid of death in the rivers and lakes! Before stepping into the martial arts, he had already had the consciousness of dying in battle, but now he has to go backwards. Bai Ya stretched out a finger and pointed at Su Huan and laughed.
"Buddhism and Taoism have clouds: if the original intention does not change, we must always be! My generation of martial artists should follow the way of heaven and reckless life and death, regard the underworld road as a smooth road, like you and others, looking forward and backward, seeking perfection in everything, isn't it ridiculous!"
"The Tao is not the same, just let the horse come!" After Bai Ya finished speaking, he simply sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the final battle, and did not look at Su Huan again.
Su Huan was shocked after hearing this, her beautiful eyes were bright, although she was a woman, she was also a martial artist, Bai Ya's words hit her heart like a sharp arrow, and she was suddenly emotionally churned, and she was speechless for a while.
However, thinking of the current situation in Xiangliuzhuang, Su Huan calmed down again and sighed secretly.
"I have heard of Bai Shaoxia's high righteousness for a long time, and you and I have no mortal enmity, if it is more than 100 plans for the village, I don't know if you can teach me?"
Bai Ya didn't want to continue talking to her, but Su Huan couldn't leave with a bad heart, and really fought to the death according to the other party's wishes.
"You ask me?" Bai Ya didn't want to talk anymore, but when he heard Su Huan's words, he couldn't help but open his eyes again.
"Yes, since Bai Shaoxia is unwilling to follow the concubine's method, do you have any other plans?" Su Huan showed a bitter smile, Bai Ya didn't eat soft and hard, then only Xiangliuzhuang was soft.
In fact, when she came this time, she had already received instructions from Xiangliuzhuang's predecessors, and inducing Baiya into the pit was only one aspect. If the other party really doesn't eat hard and soft, then there is naturally a plan B.
It's just that this method has a return, but it can't be proposed by Xiang Liuzhuang himself, it must be Baiya's suggestion, so Su Huan can only guide him step by step and find a way to make him think of this.
"Since you have already made a move, you have stood in line in the competition, and now you are ......" Bai Ya's eyes showed doubts, and he just wanted to shirk two sentences, but suddenly thought of something, immediately raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while, and finally showed a smile, he knew what the other party said.
However, this method is a bit disgraceful in the eyes of many people, no wonder Su Huan is reluctant to bring it up by herself.
"If you are willing to let it go, you can help him in front of him, and he should be willing to accept your surrender. After Bai Ya figured it out, he replied with a flat expression.
Xiangliuzhuang can't really kill Bai Ya and his party, so he must control the wisdom and combat power of the barbarian beasts, and if he is tied, he will at least give Bai Ya a chance to clear the third or fourth floor.
Baiya can afford to gamble, but Xiangliuzhuang can't afford to gamble, so Xiangliuzhuang is forced to compromise.
Of course, this is mainly because Bai Ya's performance was unexpected, which made Xiangliuzhuang greatly miscalculate.
And if Xiangliuzhuang's mission fails, Dou Sanniang will most likely not invite them to join his own camp again, and they will not be taken seriously if they join. That would be tantamount to a failure at both ends, and it would offend the Qingcheng faction in vain.
Therefore, Xiangliuzhuang has another choice, which is to take advantage of the fact that Baiya has not yet cleared the customs and ask to join the camp here.
Originally, this definitely didn't work, fighting for succession is a matter of life and death, and no one will accept a force in the rivers and lakes that steps on two boats. But now there is still a little room for maneuver, because Xiangliuzhuang has not officially joined Dou Sanniang's side at this time, and the two sides are in an employment relationship.
What's more, Dou Sanniang is just an Emei outcast, and her identity is not enough to represent the royal family behind her. Seriously speaking, Xiangliuzhuang is only a failure of a private mission, not a betrayal.
However, in terms of the concept of this era, what Xiang Liuzhuang did was at least unrighteous, so Su Huan kept twisting and pinching, and she had to let Bai Ya bring it up.
Bai Ya is not stupid, of course he will not die stubbornly, he feels that he is not very sure of defeating a strange beast similar to the Dream Demon Fox.
