Chapter 172: Tao Hui's Strategy
Dian Wei asked, "Who is it?"
Yan Long said: "Master Huici of Liaodong Tianlong Temple!"
"He?" Dian Wei said suspiciously, "How can there be such a feminine martial art in the Tianlong Temple?"
Yan Long said: "Before Master Huici became a monk, he practiced this kind of martial arts, but in recent years, it has rarely been used. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Master Hui Ci is far away from the gate, and has been meditating behind closed doors for many years, how could he suddenly come to Yongping Mansion to kill people?" Dian Wei said.
Yan Long said: "It's just speculation now, as for whether it's him or not, it remains to be verified." ”
After that, under Yan Long's instructions, the people of the Eagle Blade Hall began to pick up the remaining snow and dig up other clues under the ice. The ice surface is getting thicker and thicker, and some of the seedling knives are gradually revealed.
Those broken blades caught Yan Long's attention, and Yan Long crouched down, about to take a look. But at this moment, the fishy smell emanating from the blade of a Miao knife made Yan Long frown.
What a familiar smell of blood!
Yan Long had smelled this smell of blood at least twice, once from the black blood of Ling Luoshi, once from the gray-white blood of the Heavenly Roar Blood Corpse, and then this time.
This Miao knife is very close to Zhou Dahong's corpse, and judging by the size and system, it is also dedicated to the Sky Gang.
"Could it be that Zhou Dahong injured the murderer with this Miao knife?" Yan Long thought to himself. He took a closer look at the blade of the Miao knife, but because it had been washed by the snow, there were no obvious marks left on the blade.
Yan Long was no longer entangled in this matter, he immediately stood up and walked towards the other corpses, and after investigation, the fatal injury was the same as that of Zhou Dahong.
With the power of one person, he killed fourteen members of the Sky Gang (among them, Zhou Dahong was a master of the first level of the Innate Realm). In the place where the corpses were ambushed, except for the nine people who were more concentrated, the bodies of the remaining five people were scattered in different directions, and the distance was different, which showed that the murderer caught up from behind and then killed.
With this kind of light body kung fu and the finger power to shatter the internal organs, it is impossible to do it without the skill of a master craftsman or above.
Yan Long sighed softly, and he vaguely felt in his heart that in the Yongping Mansion, it seemed that there was a huge black net enveloping them.
He thought for a while, and then called a banner master of the Eagle Feng Hall and instructed: "The helmsman of the Guangning Wei branch immediately went to Tianlong Temple to find out the whereabouts of Master Huici, and the helmsman of the Shanhaiwei branch went to inquire about the guards of Shanhaiguan to see if there were any monks from outside the country who entered the customs through Shanhaiguan in the past five or six days. Then the helmsman of Yongping Mansion will be handed over to the portrait of Master Huici of Tianlong Temple, and tell the brothers on the street, pay more attention, and report to me immediately if there is any news. ”
The banner lord of the Eagle Blade Hall took the order.
Dian Wei asked, "Childe, didn't you say that you can't be sure that it's Master Huici, why is every arrangement for Master Huici?"
Yan Long said: "I just want to rule out this possibility as soon as possible." ”
Dian Wei nodded in response: "Well, before there is news, we can only wait." ”
......
Yan Long returned to Shanhaitang and immediately reported the relevant situation to Ding Chengfeng.
In the end, he concluded: "The baggage escorted by the Lord of Zhou Qi was not lost, so it can be seen that it was not a robbery. The murderer's purpose is unknown, but there is a bloody corpse at the scene, and his subordinates suspect that it may be related to the Phantom Demon Palace or the Red Gun!"
"Blood corpse?!" Ding Chengfeng said.
Yan Long recounted the details, including the bloody battle with the blood corpses in the old city. It's just that it involves the secrets of the god-killing system, as well as his adventures in the beacon tower, and he did some "technical processing". Anyway, his identity at this time is the only descendant of the Xuanli Grandmaster Qianfang Daoist, and the fact that he inherited the Qianfang Daoist's "Shaoyang Lingxu Sword Qi" from him is also quite credible, so the strange trick he used when he fought the bloody corpse made sense.
Ding Chengfeng listened to Yan Long's statement, and said with a solemn face: "It has been decades since the Phantom Demon Palace disappeared from the rivers and lakes, but it has frequently come out to make waves recently, and it is also related to the Red Gun Society, the reason for this is intriguing. ”
Yan Long said: "Hall Master, the Red Spear Society is huge, although it has suffered heavy losses, but the foundation is still there, they have joined forces with the Illusory Demon Palace, and frequently use the corpse magic technique to refine blood corpses, and the threat is getting bigger and bigger. The subordinates felt that we should report the situation to the main hall as soon as possible, and it would be more appropriate for the main hall to send someone down to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Ding Chengfeng frowned and said, "Do you think our hall can't cope with this situation?"
Yan Long knew that Ding Chengfeng was an extremely strong person, and he would be unhappy with his suggestion to ask for help from the main hall, but the situation was serious, and he had to continue.
I only heard him say unhurriedly: "If the hall master can sit in the hall all the time, it will naturally be no problem." But once the war in Liaodong is tense and our Shanhaitang elite comes out, the forces in the pass will not be able to suppress the alliance between the Red Lance Society and the Phantom Demon Palace at all. ”
What Yan Long said was the truth, and Ding Chengfeng couldn't refute it, he pondered for a while before he said, "Let me think about it!"
Yan Long sighed secretly, thinking, "If you think about it again, it's too late!" However, he didn't say this, because he knew that only by saying the right words at the right time could the real effect be produced, otherwise it would just be counterproductive.
At this time, he took out the Xuantie token that Ding Chengfeng had given him some time ago from his arms, and respectfully handed it back to Ding Chengfeng with both hands.
Ding Chengfeng looked at the token in his hand, and asked with a flickering gaze: "Deputy Hall Master Yan, ...... are you?"
Yan Long said: "Previously, in order to destroy the Yongping Mansion branch of the Red Gun Society, my subordinates asked the hall master for this token, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is time for the object to be returned to the original owner." ”
Ding Chengfeng smiled: "You use this token very well, you can keep it." ”
Yan Long shook his head and said: "The token is a token of the hall master, and it represents the supreme power in the Shanhai Hall. Now that the hall master has returned, if Yan Long still occupies it and does not return it, it will not only damage the authority of the hall master, but also make the brothers mistakenly think that Yan Long wants to seize power, which is not good for the entire Shanhai Hall. ”
Ding Chengfeng heard this, laughed and said, "It seems that this iron plate is also a hot potato." Well, I'm not forcing you either. I'll take it back. With that, he took the token from Yan Long's hand.
Yan Long immediately bowed his hand and said, "That subordinate has retired." ”
Ding Chengfeng said with a pleasant face: "Okay, you go and get busy!"
Yan Long withdrew from Ding Chengfeng's study.
Looking at Yan Long's distant figure, Ding Chengfeng seemed to say to himself: "It's really rare in the world to have such insight and bosom when you were young, no wonder the gang leader values you so much!"
......
After Yan Long got out of Ding Chengfeng's study, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden from his shoulders, and his steps were much brisker.
That Xuantie token is really easy to use, wherever the token goes, the order is unimpeded, and everything is executed extremely smoothly. But Yan Long understands that others are just giving Ding Chengfeng face, not obeying him Yan Long.
He carries the token in his arms, and after a long time, others will only think that he is a fox and a tiger, and even the credit for his hard work will be attributed to Ding Chengfeng, which is not good for him.
So he simply handed over the token, so that he could not only block the mouths of the people, but also gain a good name in the Shanhai Hall who knew how to advance and retreat.
This is an obscure strategy of retreating as advancing.
This is the most basic step to reach the pinnacle of power! )
