Chapter 168: Fate is perverse and manpower is poor
The sudden change came, and after the initial confusion, Zhao Yu had gradually calmed down.
At present, the forces of several parties in the Western Regions are all aiming at the Bright Peak. And because of the lack of strength in his hands and the slightest change, Mingjiao fell into passivity and was constrained by many parties.
The best way out of this dire situation is to start something else to attract everyone's attention and distract them. And the most eye-catching thing in the martial arts is the dragon slaying knife that has caused turmoil in the rivers and lakes. With Zhang Wuji's strange trick in hand, a lot of articles can be done, if the operation is done properly, Mingjiao may be able to get rid of the current situation of being an enemy in one fell swoop, or advance or retreat, there is room for improvement.
Of course, the matter of the dragon slayer knife may not be able to confuse the power of the Ruyang Palace, but as long as the six factions have their own ideas and no longer unanimously point the spearhead at the top of the light, they can crush the Ruyang Palace's plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. They either withdraw from the situation, or they stay in it, and no longer have a well-founded and calm position.
As for Cheng Kun capturing Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Yu has also weighed it clearly, as long as Cheng Kun has the idea of using Zhou Zhiruo to coerce him, Zhou Zhiruo will be safe for a while. At this critical juncture, being held by the enemy is not necessarily a bad thing, and it can slightly weaken the opponent's vigilance. Moreover, no matter who Zhou Zhiruo falls into, as long as she can't be sure that she can put herself to death, she won't dare to hurt her, unless she is tired of living!
Thinking like this, Zhao Yu's thoughts became more and more smooth. Taking advantage of Zhang Wuji's arrival, he beckoned Xiao Zhao into the room.
At this time, Xiao Zhao already knew that Zhao Yu had been recognized by everyone as the leader of the Ming Sect, and he was extremely surprised in his heart. Heard Zhao Yu's call. She bowed her head and walked into the hall, extremely worried, first knelt in front of Yang Xiao, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhao deceived Miss Master, please forgive your sins." ”
Yang Xiao stared at it for a moment before sneering: "Xiao Zhao, it turns out that you were born so beautiful. What do you want to disguise yourself as a bright top?"
Xiao Zhao's body trembled, and he looked at Zhao Yu for help. Zhao Yu knew that Yang Xiao was captured because of his wife and daughter, and he was always angry in his heart. At this time, he was a little angry with Xiao Zhao. But now is not the time to pursue the matter. He said: "I already understand Xiao Zhao's life history, and I will talk to Yang Zuo Envoy in detail later." She has nothing to do with Cheng Kun sneaking to the top of the light, so Yang Zuo will open the shackles of her hands and feet first. ”
Heard Zhao Yu's words. Yang Xiao's anger was slightly suppressed. Shaking his head, he said, "The key to this chain." I've been accepted without regrets, but now I can't open it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu looked at Xiao Zhao with a little apology. saw that this girl was not only not lost, but even faintly happy in her eyes. At this time, Zhang Wuji had already been led out of the door, so he waved his hand and said to Xiao Zhao: "In this case, you should stay at the top of the light first." When you're free, I'll send you away. ”
Xiao Zhao nodded and bowed down.
Zhang Wuji was forcibly brought to the top of the light by the Five Elements Banner, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and he kept his door closed and did not deal with the people in the main altar. Suddenly summoned by Zhao Yu, he was not without apprehension in his heart, standing in front of the door, with a look of hesitation on his face.
Zhao Yu stood up and walked in front of Zhang Wuji, and said softly: "Brother Wuji, we have known each other for many years. I ask you, how have I treated you all these years?"
Zhang Wuji didn't expect Zhao Yu to talk to him so kindly, he was first shocked, and then said cautiously: "You have taken me in for so long, and you helped me get rid of the cold poison and saved my life, I have always been very grateful in my heart, and I have always wanted to find a chance to repay you." However, I will not do anything that violates the morality of the rivers and lakes......"
Zhao Yu listened to his refusal to say anything, and he was very wary of himself. first smiled, and then said: "I am willing to take care of you, all because I promised your master Zhang Sanfeng back then." Now that you are safe and sound, you can't always rely on me, and besides, your master is so prejudiced against our Ming Sect. This time, Mingjiao is in trouble, and I don't have the heart to take care of you, so you can go to the top of the light. Your Wudang faction has a part in attacking Guangming Ding, if you stay here any longer, others will think that I am the villain who will threaten the Wudang faction. ”
When Zhang Wuji heard this, he was extremely surprised, and his expression became sluggish. This time, Zhao Yuqiang brought him to the Western Regions, and he had been doubting whether Zhao Yu wanted to use himself to force the Wudang faction to withdraw, and he had always been annoyed that he had refused to return to the Wudang faction earlier, and he felt in a dilemma because of the changes in Mingjiao over the years. Hearing that Zhao Yu was willing to let himself go so easily, he was a little unbelievable for a while.
"Are you really willing to let me go?" Zhang Wuji said hesitantly.
The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth twitched, and he said: "What's the use of me leaving you? There must be a decisive battle between the six factions and the Ming Sect, although the Wudang faction has a great reputation in the martial arts, it is nothing in my eyes, there is no need to be a villain for them." If you stay at the top of the light, you will not be used by me to draw your sword and attack the six factions. In this case, it is better to let you go as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Wuji heard Zhao Yu's words, and was silent for a long time before he said: "I have seen it with my own eyes over the years, and I know that the martial arts righteous path has many misunderstandings about Mingjiao. You are all a group of chivalrous warriors who value faith and commitment, not the devils who are rumored to do all kinds of evil. If I return to Wudang this time, I will definitely persuade the master and uncle to stop being enemies of the Ming Sect. It's best to strike twice, give up the old suspicions, and drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains together, so that the people can live a stable life!"
Zhao Yu listened and said: "You have this intention, whether you succeed or not, it is not in vain that Mr. Hu and I take good care of you." It's getting late today, so I'll let you know first, and you can tidy up tonight, and then go down the mountain after dawn tomorrow. ”
Zhang Wuji thanked Zhao Yu gratefully, and then turned his head to look at Yang Xiao, and said with a rather twisted expression: "Yang Zuo, don't regret that your sister can be recovered?"
Yang Xiao's face sank, and he turned his face away and ignored Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji was bored, and said: "After I go down the mountain, I will also help inquire about the whereabouts of Aunt Ji and my sister who does not regret it." ”
After Zhang Wuji withdrew, Yang Xiao spoke: "Sect Master, you regard this kid as a strange commodity, and you should hold it in your hands, why did you let him go down the mountain so easily?"
Zhao Yu groaned: "This kid himself is a powder bag, he is the only one in the world who knows the whereabouts of Xie Shiwang and the Dragon Slayer Knife, as long as he appears, it will inevitably attract people from the rivers and lakes to rob him." He is too pedantic to explain it to him, and he may not be able to cooperate with our plan. If you just let go down the mountain and let him toss in the warmth and coldness of human feelings, we just need to hide behind and guide a little. ”
After Yang Xiao heard this, he was silent for a moment before saying: "Wudang faction Zhang Sanfeng, Wudang Seven Heroes, hey, listening to the resounding reputation, in fact, the most responsible." Over the years, they have clearly ignored Zhang Cuishan's orphans, but it is a pity that Zhang Cuishan and his wife have killed themselves for the reputation of the Wudang faction. ”
Zhao Yu also sighed: "This Zhang Wuji is also a poor person, although his character is not bad, but his life is perverse, even if he is kind to people everywhere, there will be people who are difficult for him everywhere." Even if the Wudang faction sent those who seemed to be close to him, he was afraid that he would let him fend for himself outside, hoping that he would not cause trouble for the Wudang faction again. When I went back this time, I don't know what kind of cold reception and indifference I will suffer. ”
It was getting late, Zhao Yu discussed the plan with everyone again, and after dinner, they dispersed.
Approaching his room, Zhao Yu saw a figure flickering in front of the candlelight in front of the window, and then heard the sound of the chain colliding and dragging, and knew that Xiao Zhao was in the room.
He stood in front of the door, looked at Xiao Zhao, who was making the bed with his back to him, and said, "You plan to use these things to make the bed and fold the quilt in exchange for me caring about you? Although I am not from a wealthy family, I am also taken care of by people for living and eating, these ordinary things are nothing in my eyes." ”
Hearing the sound behind him, Xiao Zhao was so shocked that he let out a "ah", turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, and his pretty face turned red. She lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes, and said quite aggrievedly: "The son is strong in martial arts, and his subordinates are also full of talents, and now he is the leader of the Ming Sect." In addition to these things, Xiao Zhao really couldn't think of anything else he could do for his son. ”
Zhao Yu walked into the room and sat down, and said, "If you can't think of it, don't do it, if you do more, you will be wrong." The shackles on your body clang, and it still confuses people's minds after listening to them for a long time. ”
After Xiao Zhao heard this, he tiptoed to the side, made a cup of tea for Zhao Yu and brought it over, and said softly: "Not really, as long as you get used to something, it won't be surprising." At first, I was uncomfortable with shackles, I couldn't sleep, and after wearing it for a long time, I didn't feel it. As long as Xiao Zhao has been by Childe's side for a long time, he will do a lot of things, just like Childe's hands and feet. When you can't see me, you'll feel like there's something missing, and that's enough. ”
Zhao Yu took the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "My hands and feet don't have as much thought as yours, and I won't deceive people." If I treat you as my hands and feet, I won't feel sure in my heart. ”
Xiao Zhaoqiao's face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "But after all, I didn't deceive the son, and now the son no longer believes in Xiao Zhao, I actually regret it very ......much in my heart."
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yu waved his hand to let Xiao Zhao retreat, and then he had time to take out the Qiankun Great Mind Shifting Method presented by Xiao Zhao. (To be continued......)
PS: When I read the original book, I always had a question, if Zhang Wuji did not appear in front of the public as a peerless master, what would be the situation?
