Chapter 165: The Storm Rises Again

Out of the secret room, the sky was full of stars, and it was already the second night they came to Biyunxuan. The two walked to the middle courtyard one after the other, and neither of them spoke. Seeing that they are going to the front hall, there are many family members who have returned from the Gongsun Mansion, and there must be a lot of things to take care of, and some words are now held back and not asked, but I am afraid that there will be no chance to speak.

Wu Xin hurriedly walked in front of Zhou Yi in two steps, and asked with a tired expression, "Did you already know the secret of the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Zhou Yi didn't mean to hide it, and said, "I can't say I know, to be exact, it's just a guess." ”

"When did it start? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

With a long sigh, Zhou Yi walked in the shade of the moonlight tree, "I don't have to hide it from you, since last year when Master gave me the Xuanyuan Sword, I noticed that he was hiding many secrets behind him, just like him, people can't figure it out but are unwilling to give up looking for its answer." ”

"Last year!" Wu Xin snorted coldly, "That is, when we were still together, then you don't have to hide anything from me! You are the same as Master thinks, I am an untrustworthy person!"

"What are you talking about? Jinghui Zhenren is hiding it from you, because she doesn't want you to get involved in this puzzle, you are like flesh and blood to her, how can she treat you as an outsider?"

Wu Xin smiled bitterly: "Master doesn't treat me as an outsider, so what about you?"

One sentence exhausted the desolation in his heart, and he left angrily without listening to his explanation.

Zhou Yi was at a loss alone, and he had been tired for many days without closing his eyes at this time, although he took a nap in the secret room, but in terms of his travel during this time, it was a drop in the bucket.

Before I knew it, I sat down on the bluestone platform next to the tree, and fell asleep in a daze against a pine tree.

After the fifth watch of the next day, the sky has gradually brightened, the whole Biyunxuan is shrouded in clouds and mist, the rain and dew condensed on the pine branches are crystal clear, Zhou Yi is committed to the tree, and the dew drops are dripping and mottled.

For a while, Gongsun Ji led a few old men into the courtyard gate, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone steps came from afar, which made Zhou Yi wake up suddenly, and looked up, Gongsun Ji had already walked towards him.

"Mr. is back, have all the people in the house been contacted?" Zhou Yi got up and responded, everyone raised their hands to salute, and before they had time to say hello, they helped each other into the main hall.

"Why, haven't you seen them yet? Yesterday I asked people to come back to report the news, there are a total of eighty-two people in the house, and now fifty-three people have been confirmed to be alive, a small number of injured people have come to Biyunxuan, and the rest, I have let them go to the city for a few days to take refuge. ”

Zhou Yi was worried for a while when he heard this, "What about the remaining twenty-nine people?"

Gongsun Ji's hurried footsteps immediately stopped, looked sideways at Yibian, and said for a long time: "There are twenty-one people who have found the corpse...... Five people are missing, and the remaining three ......"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhou Yi felt that things were not good, "But he was captured?"

Gongsun Ji sighed and said, "Originally...... Only thirteen people were killed in the battle, and later, I took a few people to rescue them, but I didn't expect ......"

"You fell for their ambush?" Zhou Yi replied with a panicked expression.

"Yes. Gongsun Ji hung his head and nodded slightly, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Of course, Mr. does not have to blame himself, but after all, he has taken the lives of some people. These people who followed Xuanyuan Sword in the past are all iron-clad heroes, and their friendship with each other is far greater than life and death, I think, to save their companions, they died as they deserved!" Zhou Yi's tone was solemn, with a sad face, and the people present were all sad, chivalrous and proud, but also courageous.

"We should have come to ask Gongzi's attention, but at that time, Jinghui's senior said that my father was seriously ill, and you and Miss Wuxin were treating him, so I would ...... It's up to you!" Looking at his expression, he looked remorseful, which really made Zhou Yi not know how to be relieved.

"If you ask, I don't necessarily have a complete solution. In the battle the day before yesterday, you showed all the courage of God, and those brutal people were resentful but did not dare to confront each other head-on, then, since some of us were caught by them, according to their speculation, we would definitely not see death without help, so they used them as bait, and set a trap waiting for us to jump, which was the best strategy for them. ”

An old man said awe-inspiringly: "Gongzi Zhou said what we thought, the big guy followed the old general from birth to death, and no one flinched, it was like this back then, and it is the same today." Since they have arrested our people, then we have no choice, if Zhou Gongzi has a good plan, please take precautions for us, even if it is to go to the soup and fire, our old bones are not terrible!"

"Yes, we don't have anything, what we have is the courage not to be afraid of death, please Gongzi to prepare for us!"

Zhou Yi looked at these bloodstained old men with pale faces but strong spirits one by one, and was in awe in his heart, "You know, although our opponent has suffered heavy casualties, there are still more than 1,000 people!"

"Yes, so what?" replied the crowd.

"You know, with their brutal nature, once they capture our people, they will be killed on the spot! But now they haven't done that, what is the deep meaning, the ambush among you last night can still explain everything, so you still have to save them?" Zhou Yi asked again.

"Save!" the crowd still said in unison.

"Reckless?"

"My brothers are dead, what could be worse than that?"

Zhou Yi was shocked, a smile hung between his eyebrows, raised his hand and bowed and said: "You are affectionate and righteous, Zhou Yi is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

Gongsun Ji and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, "Then please think of a way!"

Zhou Yi hesitated slightly, and when a sentence came to his lips, he felt that if he said it, it would make everyone's faces unbearable, so he had to give up and said instead: "The two armies are facing each other, and if you want to win, you must know yourself and your opponent!"

Gongsun Ji said: "Our number is only these, you already know, the other party's people ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said: "They are 3,000 people, although they are known as elite, but in the battle the night before yesterday, it was nothing more than that, so our morale still prevails, please have enough confidence in this!"

Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that their determination and confidence were undiminished.

Zhou Yi said again: "We blocked twice that night, and they suffered more than 1,000 casualties, plus there were gunpowder in Gongsun's Mansion that had been detonated one after another in the past two days, so Mr. Gongsun must have caused them some damage. ”

"You know everything?"

Zhou Yi nodded and acquiesced, "The south is humid, and the temperature difference between day and night is large in the twilight spring festival, they come from the north, not to mention the fatigue of the boat and car, this water and soil adaptation is enough to halve their combat power, so I conclude that their remaining combat power is far less than a thousand!

When everyone heard this, they all looked excited, just waiting for Zhou Yi to lay out the layout.

"However, the hundred-legged insect does not die, after all, we only have a few ......"

Before the words fell, Wu Xin brought more than a dozen female disciples, and the soldiers of the Gongsun Mansion who came to Biyunxuan last night to repair for a night came over, "We have more than 30 people here, maybe we can help some." ”

The people on the left and right showed joy, but Zhou Yi frowned.

Wu Xin gave him a blank look, "What, you can't look down on us?"

"Then count me in!" After a loud voice, Jinghui Zhenren shook the dust and walked over.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "The three of them are in a crowd, how dare Zhou Yi despise you." It's just that the black man is still alive, and if we want to succeed, we must be extremely cautious and not be sloppy. ”

Wu Xin asked: "How do you know that he is still alive? The night before yesterday, the sky collapsed, no matter how powerful he was, he was only a mortal." ”

Zhou Yi said in a firm tone: "Mr. Gongsun's failure to save people last night is enough to show that the man in black is still alive, otherwise, how could those people with cups and bows and snake shadows give us such a panic situation?"

"That'...... So what else can you do?"

Zhou Yi sighed, "There is a way, but you need to take risks." ”

Gongsun Ji said: "Childe, don't worry too much, everyone has seen your methods, and we have confidence in you! Besides, any move now is a dangerous move for us, and we can't take risks if we don't want to, so you can give it a go!"

Zhou Yi raised his hands high and saluted everyone, "Then please go to the front hall to discuss matters!"

When everyone heard this, they entered the main hall one after another, just waiting for Zhou Yi to arrange their troops for them.

It was Zhou Yi, who walked a little slowly, and seemed to have some worries, Wu Xin slowly approached, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Yi said: "Regarding the matter of Xuanyuan Sword, Jinghui Zhenren didn't tell you that he regarded you as flesh and blood, and I, in addition to being uncertain, don't I hope that you can stay out of the matter and don't have to involve those endless fights and killings?"

Zhou Yi ...... We are friends who have experienced life and death, and some misunderstandings are inevitable, I am not Yu Xi, since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to explain!" After speaking, he followed everyone and walked quickly into the hall door.

It was Zhou Yi who was stunned in place, thinking about the deep meaning of her words, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
