Chapter 3: Strange Places
Wutong Mountain should be Tianfeng, the inner courtyard of Chang'an. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ye Tian, Gu Liuli, Su Linglong, and Qiu Rubai sat on the stone table of the pavilion.
Su Linglong held her sleeve in one hand and fiddled with the tea set in the other hand to make tea seriously. Tea is a common wild camellia in Wutong Mountain, but the water used to make tea is taken from the Tianchi Cold Spring of Yingtianfeng, and then cooked by the more and more beautiful Su Linglong's hands, giving people the feeling of complementing each other.
"Brother Qiu, please make tea. After the tea was brewed, she took a cup and put it in front of Qiu Rubai, and then gave another cup to Gu Liuli, and then picked up another cup, and asked Ye Tian in a soft voice with rolling eyes: "Do you want me to serve?"
Ye Tian rolled his eyes, and directly took the remaining cup and drank it in a few blows.
The three of them have been together for half a year now, and they have been facing each other almost every day for half a year, and they don't need to pretend to be with each other at all, and they are very comfortable.
Gu Liuli said with a smile: "Talking about tea with Xiaotian is really like playing the piano to a cow." ”
"Who said it wasn't!" Su Linglong agreed, but naturally refilled a cup for Ye Tian.
Qiu Rubai didn't notice the jokes between the three of them, and took a sip of his own meaning, and put the teacup back on the table.
Ye Tian pointed to Qiu Rubai's cup and said, "I'm not the only one who plays the piano or something to the cow." ”
"I'm a despicable barbarian, and wine suits me better. ”
"Last time, I really asked people to prepare some old wine in the meeting, if you want to be fine, you can stay here for a while. ”
Of course, Qiu Rubai is not really a despicable barbarian, how many despicable barbarians in the world can have such achievements at his age? As soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, he understood the meaning of Ye Tian's words.
"Do you think this will allow you to shift the murderer's next target to you, revealing the trail?"
"It's not that simple, it's just that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, let's try to narrow it down first. ”
"What's the shrunk method?"
"What enemies do you have now?"
People in the martial arts pay attention to happiness and enmity, Qiu Rubai will not be evil to others for no reason, but if anyone does not open his eyes to provoke trouble, he is not a good man and a woman.
"There are a few. Qiu Rubai thought for a while and said, "With their ability, it's not like they can do it to this extent. To be able to do ......"
Of the seven killers who ambushed Xu Liang, the leader was a sixth-rank martial artist, and the others were all seventh-rank cultivators. In such a battle, the last-rate sect can't take it out, and the third-rate sect is almost half the strength of the sect.
Take the enemy gang that can be included in the third-rate level after the merger as a comparison, the number of third-grade martial artists is one palm, and there are more than ten seventh-grade martial artists. It is enough for them to send such an ambush team, there are many key problems.
The first is that the middle and third-grade martial artists belong to the elder class in the enemy gang, and the seventh-grade martial artists are taught, and if they are withdrawn from the seven people, it will have a lot of impact on the daily operation of the gang, after all, ambush is not a matter of a moment and a half. Second, the investigation, planning, location selection, and retreat arrangements before and after the ambush all require outstanding people to make decisions, and they are by no means something that can be handled by random so-and-so. Third, the person who accepts the task must be able to trust and will not disclose the slightest rumor of relevant matters, so as not to suffer disasters.
In this case, even a third-rate gang will find it difficult to attack calmly.
If it is a second-rate sect, it will be much simpler.
Since Ye Tian meant to narrow the scope, Qiu Rubai would definitely eliminate those low-rate and third-rate sects first.
He thought about it again, the consensus of the world is that only a sect with at least one third-grade martial artist meets the definition of second-rate, and no matter how bad it is, it must be led by three fourth-rank martial artists, and no less than ten other middle-grade and third-grade martial artists. If such a force is its own enemy, it will be relatively easy to take revenge on itself.
Sure enough, Ye Tian had already thought of this, and took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Then it is not a force that is easy to get along with." ”
Even if the overall strength of the Chang'an Association is considered third-rate, it is also in the position behind the third-rate, not as good as the enemy gang, let alone the second-rate sect.
"But I don't have the impression of offending any second-rate sect. Qiu Rubai was a little confused. To put it mildly, with his ability, the second-rate sect would not have time to recruit him, so how could he be his enemy? Isn't this exactly the case with the Lianyun Sect? He hesitated, "Maybe it's not the sect?"
"And what is the other party's purpose, to ruin your reputation?"
"What good is it for the sect to do this?"
"Xu Liang is the master of the Yunshan faction, what do you think?" Ye Tian asked: "Have you ever thought about why those two disciples were able to get out? Is it really because Xu Liang sacrificed his life to save him? They can grasp Xu Liang's whereabouts, and there is no external force to intervene, why can't they cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”
Qiu Rubai's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You mean, Zheng Tao killed the teacher?"
Ye Tian shook his head: "I don't know, but no one can deny this speculation." And there are a few things that I find strange. ”
"Mrs. Xu asked us to help investigate the whereabouts of the murderer, and she only said that the Xu family was unforgettable, not the Yunshan faction, whether intentionally or not, it all showed what was implied. Looking at Zheng Tao's attitude towards Xu Liang and you, and comparing it with Mrs. Xu's words, will it seem contradictory? ”
"The Yunshan faction did not merge into the enemy gang, but formed an alliance with my Chang'an Society. And I, Chang'an, will have a bad relationship with the enemy gang, but Tian Bin asked for the help of the enemy, Wu Hao and Shi Jianxin are so generous? To say that they and Tian Bin have another agreement in private, I have no doubt. As for whether this agreement is beneficial to the Yunshan faction, it is certain that it will be beneficial to the enemy gang, and it will only be bad for the Chang'an Society. ”
"Ying Tianfeng is nearly a hundred miles away from Pailing, although it is not far away, but the accident that happened yesterday afternoon, and the funeral has just been done today, you arrived early in the morning, who told you? You must know that before we left the Yunshan faction, the people of the Pailing Martial Alliance had never seen anyone present. ”
"Fourth. Ye Tian looked directly at Qiu Rubai: "The Lianyun faction moved east from Jinping to Qiyang, and chose the site of Wutong, and learned that after I bought Ying Tianfeng, Zhu Xing once led people to the door to provoke, you know this." I have always been puzzled by this, but I also understand that Cao Yujie is hostile to the Chang'an Society. But what I don't understand is that Xu Liang was implicated by you and died, did it happen in the Lianyun Sect? If not, why did it happen to Xu Liang?"
He glanced at Gu Liuli and continued: "I said before that it might be a cover-up, but I couldn't figure out why. Thinking about it now, it seems that Xu Liang's death and the Yunshan faction are in trouble, and in terms of the attitudes of Tian Bin and Zheng Tao, it is obvious that my Chang'an Association has also been adversely affected. In addition to the enemy gang, do you think Cao Yujie will also be happy?"
Gu Liuli asked: "Then there is no need to involve Brother Qiu at all, right?"
"What if it's to involve the Chang'an Society? The matter involves the Yunshan faction and Rubai, the former is an ally of the Chang'an Society, and Rubai will be kind to Chang'an, if we don't do something, isn't it too ruthless and unjust?"
Su Linglong frowned: "We deserve to be so careful with each other?"
"It wasn't worth it a few months ago. Ye Tian took a sip of tea and said conceitedly: "But no one can deny that with our reputation among the people of Qiyang today, there are few people in the Wumeng who are willing to speak ill of us in public, which is enough to become an obstacle to the growth of certain forces." There are more and more sects participating in the martial arts conference in Qiyang, and the reputation of the Chang'an Society will not even be limited to Qiyang. The other party doesn't want to be famous, and he doesn't want to fall into passivity, so he needs to use some dirty means that can't be seen. ”
"How can they be sure that we will make a mistake and fall into the mouth?"
Ye Tian sneered: "We don't need to make mistakes, as long as we intervene in this matter." ”
Qiu Rubai finally couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
The two women glanced at each other, both understood what Ye Tian was referring to, and said in unison: "The old trick is repeated!"
