Chapter 133: One is smarter than the other
Seeing that Sima He and Deputy Hall Master Chen had left, Shi Jian asked Xiao Yuansheng and said, "What does Senior Brother Xiao think of this matter?"
"What the senior brother in charge said just now is reasonable, maybe this spy has someone else. Xiao Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time before returning to the Tao.
"Senior Brother Xiao needs to learn more balancing techniques. Think about it now. Shi Jian smiled and continued to nod him.
Xiao Yuansheng is also very smart, hearing what the head of the family said, he thought about it carefully, and then he suddenly realized, and hurriedly said to Shi Jian: "The senior brother in charge is smart, and the senior brother admires it." ”
Shi Jian saw that he had comprehended, and asked again, "Then how should you continue?" Xiao Yuansheng thought about it carefully before saying, "Let's go to visit Uncle Feng." Shi Jian nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
It turned out that Shi Jian's words just now naturally made a lot of sense, and it saved enough face for Elder Feng, and also left enough time and space for Shi Jian and Xiao Yuansheng to move: if Elder Feng knew that person was a spy, it must be as Shi Jian said, Elder Feng had other intentions, then of course it would be better; And now I will immediately go to visit Elder Feng to remind him, it can be regarded as a remedy, it is not too late, and you only need to easily set up a bureau in the future to easily lure that person into the middle of the court, and you can also grow some face for Elder Feng. Of course, if that person is not a spy, then there is nothing to do, at most, everyone is busy for a while.
Thinking about this truth, Xiao Yuansheng couldn't help but admire this senior brother in charge, knowing that there were still too many things to learn from him, and he really didn't know why the elders wanted him to step down from his position as head of the sect and concentrate on cultivation.
Seeing Shi Jian and Xiao Yuansheng coming to visit at the same time, Elder Feng immediately thought that this was the first time that Xiao Yuansheng had come to him alone with the head of the sect after he was promoted to deputy head, and immediately thought that there must be something tricky, and after seeing the two of them saluting, he also asked straight to the point: "What is the matter with Jian'er's visit this time?"
Shi Jian knew that there must not be any disciples nearby when Elder Feng was discussing with him, so he truthfully reported the findings of Sima He and Deputy Hall Master Chen to Elder Feng.
After listening to Shi Jian's report, Elder Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said, "It's also difficult for Sima He and the town side, and these things have also been found out by them." "This town is the name of Deputy Hall Master Chen, and Shi Jian and the others naturally know it.
Xiao Yuansheng heard Elder Feng say this, his face changed slightly, but he couldn't help but say nothing. I only heard Shi Jian say: "Senior Brother Chen is okay to say, maybe he will not pursue this person anymore, but that Senior Brother Sima is extremely concerned about Kong Rui's son, and he will definitely chase after him, with his ability, if Senior Brother Chen cooperates, maybe he will be able to expose that person soon, and then he will destroy Uncle Shi's plan." ”
Elder Feng shook his head and said, "Heaven's will is like this, it can only be like this. ”
Shi Jian didn't know what Elder Feng's plan was, so he had to be silent.
Suddenly, Elder Feng asked, "I heard that when the Evil Confucian Dao competed with the Heavenly Gongmen this time, the Evil Confucian Dao came with a different person named Iga, yes or no?"
Of course, Shi Jian and Xiao Yuansheng knew about the spirit master of the Evil Confucian Dao, so they replied: "Uncle Hui, this is indeed the person, and the disciple also knows that he is the second deputy master of the Evil Confucian Dao. ”
Although it is only a fictitious position, in a country like the Qi Kingdom where the sect and the imperial court are integrated, whether in the mortal world or in the cultivation world, the second deputy sect master is also a pivotal figure in the sect.
I saw a fierce flash in Elder Feng's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then use it on him." ”
As soon as they heard this, Shi Jian and Xiao Yuansheng both felt inexplicable, and Elder Feng said something to them again, Shi Jian and Xiao Yuansheng were greatly surprised, but they were overjoyed, and they both nodded and agreed: "Senior Uncle is smart, disciple will arrange it." ”
Elder Feng said again: "When the time comes, I will let your Senior Uncle Lei and Senior Uncle Wei sweep the formation for you, and I can't say that I and your Senior Uncle Li will also go out in person." ”
Shi Jian and Xiao Yuansheng knew that the stakes were high, and they both nodded solemnly and said, "The disciple should try to arrange it as carefully as possible, and try to succeed in the battle." ”
Elder Feng nodded, stopped talking and began to close his eyes and recuperate, and Shi Jian led Xiao Yuansheng to leave gently.
Out of Elder Feng's secret realm, Shi Jian said to Xiao Yuan: "Senior Brother Xiao, this matter is very important, and it must be kept secret. ”
Of course Xiao Yuansheng knew, and he also nodded and said, "Senior brother in charge, don't worry, this junior brother understands." After a pause, he asked again: "Senior Brother Head, what should I do if Senior Brother Sima wants to continue to investigate?"
Shi Jian also knew that Sima He would definitely continue to investigate, but he couldn't think of how to stop him for a while, if he used the order of the head of the house to press down, the spy would be somewhat noticed, and in order to complete the plan, they still need to continue to investigate, and the acting must be realistic, but how to control this degree is indeed very difficult, so he couldn't think of how to deal with it, so he had to say to Xiao Yuan: "Senior brother is a master of solving cases, use your resources of the Reward and Punishment Hall more." ”
Hearing what the senior brother said, Xiao Yuansheng knew that it was difficult for Shi Jian to have a good way, so he had to agree to it, and said, "Senior brother, if you think about it more, I hope it can succeed." ”
Shi Jian knew that this matter was not trivial, so he said to Xiao Yuan: "Senior brother must be cautious, if you have any ideas, come to me in time to discuss." For my brother to be in this position for nearly a hundred years, I have not done such a big thing in Xuanzong, my junior brother is indeed lucky, he actually caught up with such a big event, I hope that my junior brother will not mess up this matter. ”
Xiao Yuansheng also knew that once this matter was completed, it would be absolutely shocking, and he nodded solemnly: "Senior brother in charge, rest assured, senior brother will do his best to ensure that this plan is completed." He hurried back to the Hall of Rewards and Punishments and discussed countermeasures with Deputy Hall Master Zhao.
Sima He and Deputy Hall Master Chen came out of the head of the sect and planned carefully to see where this spy was lurking. After removing Yuan Fei from the list of suspects at once, the two of them also lost their direction at once, and had to return to the mountain in disappointment.
Sima He was also very smart, and when he returned to Lingji Mountain, he thought carefully about what the head of the house said at that time, and suddenly became suspicious: Shi Jian's words at that time were indeed reasonable, but he was also suspected of exculpating Elder Feng.
Thinking of this, Sima He was much more relieved, he had enough confidence in the minds of Shi Jian and Elder Feng, since he and Deputy Hall Master Chen had already given a reminder to the head of the sect, presumably Elder Feng also knew about it, if that person was really a spy, then Elder Feng must have had another plan, he just needed to continue to behave; if that person was not a spy, then where would the real spy be? Thinking of this, Sima He quickly gave up the idea that Yuan Fei was a spy, whether he continued to look for the real spy or just acting, he had to continue to investigate, but in order not to cause trouble to the head of the house, he still returned to the main hall and visited the head again.
When Shi Jian saw Sima He coming back, he also felt strange in his heart, so he had to invite Sima He in first. As soon as he saw Shi Jian, Sima He saluted and said, "I'm here to disturb the head again, and the junior brother is guilty." ”
"Senior brother is polite, please take a seat. Shi Jian said.
After the deacon disciples served the tea, Sima He looked at the two deacon disciples who were standing behind the head of the house, Shi Jian of course knew what was going on, so he waved his hand to let the two disciples retreat, and then asked Sima He: "Senior Brother Sima is going and returning, there must be something important." ”
"Senior brother in charge, junior brother is indeed in trouble here. Just rest assured, the senior brother will not chase after that person. Sima He also directly explained what he meant.
Shi Jian couldn't help but admire Sima He when he saw that Sima He seemed to have insight into many things in such a short period of time, so he smiled and said, "Senior brother is really smart, but I think senior brother didn't just come to say such a sentence." ”
"Senior Brother Mingjian, Senior Brother also wants to know the plan for the future, so as not to unintentionally destroy Master Feng's plan. Sima He nodded.
Shi Jian's heart moved, but he still didn't want to let him know now, so he said: "There is no specific plan yet, if there is a specific plan, I will naturally let my junior brother know." ”
Sima He knew that it might be too early, so he asked Shi Jian, "Thank you, senior brother." What can Senior Brother do now?"
