65. Assassination
Ouyang Kun returned to the front hall, relayed the words of the Divine Dragon Hero Li Wanchuan to the two, and handed them the fourth letter to read. After the two of them looked at it, Ouyang Yuhe glanced at Ouyang Kun and asked, "Father, what are you going to do about this matter?"
Ouyang Kun said in a low voice: "These four letters and an alliance leader order make me unable to make up my mind for a while. If according to the will of the sect chiefs, Chang Jiuren and his disciples will be killed for the sake of martial arts. The meaning of the unarmed supreme Fang Zhen in the letter is just to ask everyone not to damage the reputation of the department and not to make unnecessary enemies. As for how to do it, he didn't have clear instructions, it seems that Fang Supreme also knows that this matter is difficult to do. However, the alliance leader's order clearly stated that Chang Jiuren's safety must be guaranteed. This matter is related to the prestige of each related sect, as well as the honor and disgrace of the whole sect, so I can't make this decision now, let me think about it again. ”
Ouyang Yuhe said: "Father, that Ao Jianmen and Brother Qianye have a hatred for destroying the door, how can we miss such a good opportunity for revenge?"
Shangguan Qianye was very grateful when he heard this, but now that he was in Ouyang Kun's house, after all, he was a guest, although he wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge and hatred, but it was difficult to say it in front of Ouyang Kun, but he was afraid that as soon as these words came out, Ouyang would definitely lead his disciples to come out. If the other party had been prepared or really encountered the official army, then the foundation of the quicksand gate for decades would only be destroyed.
Ouyang Kun said: "I don't know about the family feud of a thousand nights. Even if there is no old hatred for this period, Chang Jiuren will not give up on the matter of Cao Rang's death in my house to recruit relatives, it is better to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and also cut off our future troubles. However, Zhang Ying Rulai obviously protects the Proud Sword Gate, and if I force my move, it will inevitably lead to a situation of blatant confrontation with the alliance leader. It's not that I'm worried about my personal safety, but the more than 200 disciples under my command are afraid that they will all be killed. And your brother made it clear in the seal that Zhang Ying Rulai had ordered Zhao Qingshan to use the army of the imperial court privately, if someone openly opposed the imperial court, he would be convicted of rebellion at that time, and he was afraid that the nine clans would not be protected. ”
Shangguan Qianye just sat there and listened quietly, although his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the outside.
Ouyang Yuhe said: "Father, then we have to sit idly by, can't we still protect those thieves?"
Ouyang Kun didn't answer his daughter's words, but instead set his eyes on Shangguan Qianye and said, "Qianye, what do you think of this?"
Shangguan Qianye said: "I don't approve of all the people going out to encircle and suppress the Aojian Gate. Although the Proud Sword Sect has made many enemies in the rivers and lakes over the years, there are not a few people who are afraid of its power and make friends with it. If the martial arts are divided into two factions and fought because of a proud sword sect, the casualties will be very heavy, and the victory or defeat will be between the two, so this is absolutely impossible. If we encounter the official army again, not only will we not be able to kill Chang Jiuren and his minions, but the imperial court will point the grass at our green forest, and at that time, it will not be of any benefit to all the people in the world who practice martial arts. ”
Ouyang Kun nodded as he listened, and Shangguan Qianye continued: "But I still have to say something offended, no matter what the result is, I must go to them for revenge." I've been looking for thieves for so many years, and now that this opportunity is right, I definitely won't let it go. But I will never agree that this matter involves the quicksand gate, this is my personal grudge, my own life and death have their own destiny, and it has nothing to do with your faction. This is my heartfelt words, and I hope that the old man will respect my decision. ”
Ouyang Yuhe said: "Brother Qianye, how can this be done? Even if my father doesn't go, I will accompany you." Then he turned back to look at Ouyang Kun.
Ouyang Kun thought for a while and said: "Qianye's analysis is very reasonable, we must take care of this matter, but we must not come out of the nest." ”
Ouyang Yuhe asked anxiously: "Father, then in the end, can we help Brother Qianye?" Ouyang Kun waved his hand and said, "You don't have to ask more questions first, you'll find out later." After speaking, he summoned his apprentice Guo Jian.
Guo Jian entered the main hall and said, "Master, I don't know what you called me?"
Ouyang Kun said: "Just now, the leader of the alliance issued an order from the leader of the alliance, saying that the Aojian Gate will pass through our Hetian Town. The meaning of the alliance master is to protect the safety of the people of the Proud Sword Sect. I ordered you to gather all the people of the Sect and stand by here, and don't let the people of the Proud Sword Sect have an accident in our Hetian Town, do you understand?"
Guo Jian said: "Master, I understand, I will immediately gather everyone to protect their safety, and never let the people of the Proud Sword Sect make any mistakes." ”
Ouyang Kun slapped the table after hearing this, and said, "Bastard thing!
Guo Jian was startled, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't be angry, the apprentice is stupid, please show the master again." ”
Ouyang Kun said: "I mean don't let them have an accident on our ground, do you understand? ”
Guo Jian said: "Master, I understand, in Hetian Town, I don't think anyone dares to touch a single of their cold hairs, if they leave our Hetian Town, then their life and death have nothing to do with us." ”
After he finished speaking, Ouyang Kun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Shangguan Shaoxia has something important to do, I need to escort him away." If someone asks me, you will say that I have something to do and travel far away, have you written it down?" Guo Jian said: "Master, I have written it down. Ouyang Kun waved his hand, and Guo Jian went down to prepare not to mention it.
Ouyang Kun said to Shangguan Qianye and Ouyang Yuhe again: "Since my future son-in-law insists on revenge, my precious daughter will naturally follow desperately. And how can I, as a father, ignore it?"
Ouyang Yuhe asked happily: "Father, so you decided to help Brother Qianye?" Ouyang Kun smiled and said: "Silly child, it's all my own family, how can I not help." But before we act, I have to say it first, and if you agree, then we will get up. If you don't, then none of you will want to leave this courtyard. ”
Ouyang Yuhe said: "Father, say it quickly, we will agree." ”
Ouyang Kun said: "First, there are only three of us going this time, and we can't bring others with us." At the time of the second assassination, the three of us must cover our faces with green sand and never reveal our identities. Third, we must clearly see the situation before taking action, and we must not act impulsively. ”
Ouyang Yuhe nodded very happily after hearing this. Then he looked at Shangguan Qianye with his eyes. Shangguan Qianye lost his parents since he was a child, and the province of trouble was decided by his own thoughts, except for the Tieshan monk and Wan Weiwang, no one has ever helped him analyze the situation and guide him.
Although Ouyang Kun did not give Shangguan Qianye the right to decide, Shangguan Qianye felt warm in his heart, and he longed for this kind of family affection too much.
And Ouyang's father and daughter didn't care about their personal safety, and the righteousness of being willing to accompany them to revenge made Shangguan admire him for a thousand nights. Although he knew that if he really met the Ao Jian Sect, he would definitely die, but he was powerless to say anything to refuse. I had to nod my head and agree to it.
The three of them packed up their belongings, opened the back door, and followed the main path straight to the south. The nervous emotions along the way infected the three people to varying degrees, and although the road was far away, the three of them did not communicate more. Ouyang Kun looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already in the west, and saw that the distance had traveled dozens of miles, but there was still no movement in front of him.
I peeked at Shangguan Qianye helplessly, only to see that he was still full of expression, although his face was expressionless, he couldn't see the slightest tiredness. And his daughter looked at her Ruyi Langjun's eyes with a smile, Ouyang Kun saw such a scene, and a stream of honey gushed out in his heart.
The three of them were walking forward when they suddenly noticed a cloud of sand and dust rising on the road not far away. Shangguan Qianye wanted to speed up his pace when he saw it, Ouyang Kun took two steps forward and grabbed his arm, Shangguan Qianye turned around and looked, Ouyang Kun shook his head at him.
Then he took their hands and quickly hid behind a mound of earth, a hundred paces from the main road. Although Shangguan Qianye didn't understand why he did this, he didn't raise any objections, he knew that Ouyang Kun's experience in the rivers and lakes was far above his own.
When the three of them hid themselves, they looked at the road from behind the mound. I saw a team of people walking out of the dust just now. There were three carriages in the middle, surrounded by dozens of officers and soldiers.
Behind the first carriage was a large flag, on which two big characters were clearly written, "Proud Sword". Ouyang Yuhe said: "I didn't expect Zhao Qingshan's people to arrive first. ”
Ouyang Kun raised his head slightly and looked at both ends of the road, and saw that there was no movement, so he said in a low voice: "Qianye, it seems that God wishes you revenge today, don't ask if the person sitting in the car must be Chang Jiuren and others." They travelled by car and appeared to have suffered minor injuries. And with only these dozens of officers and soldiers accompanying us, what are we afraid of! When they got closer, the three of us rushed over, each with a carriage, leaving no one behind, but we must remember that if we can, the officers and soldiers should not move as much as possible, and we will disperse and flee immediately after killing them.
Don't go back to Hetian Town yet, there is a monastery twenty miles south of here, and we will meet there. Do you understand?" Shangguan Qianye and Ouyang Yuhe agreed, and they were both ready to fight.
Seeing that the group of people was getting closer, Shangguan Qianye had already held the seven-eyed remnant dragon in his hand at this time, staring intently. Ouyang Kun once again looked at the two ends of the road vigilantly, still without movement, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he said in a low voice: "Qianye, Yuhe, let's rush out!"
Shangguan Qianye has been waiting for this sentence, he has long been impatient, although he just killed Cao Rang not long ago, but Chang Jiuren of the Proud Sword Sect and the embarrassed two have always let their hearts drip blood.
Hearing Ouyang Kun's order, he was about to get up and fight. At this moment, Ouyang Yuhe, who was behind the two of them, suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed their arms.
The two of them turned around in shock, and Ouyang Yuhe said in a low voice: "Let's do it slowly." Shangguan Qianye asked anxiously: "Why?" Ouyang Yuhe said: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong, it seems that something is wrong." Ouyang Kun said: "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Yuhe said: "Think about it, what kind of place is Wudang? For example, all the major sects today obey the orders of Zhangying Rulai, but Wudang and Shaolin are not. The kung fu in these two places is extremely profound, and what are the identities of the two heads, Shaolin's Shennian Zen Master and Wudang's Changshu Daoren? Even if Chang Jiuren of the Proud Sword Sect has great courage, he does not dare to easily take people to Wudang for a decisive battle. Let's assume that Chang Jiuren is really fighting hard to compete for the supremacy of the sword lineage, then how can Cao Rang, the left protector of the Proud Sword Sect, still have the heart to participate in our recruitment of relatives?
After speaking, he pointed to a pair of people on the road: "Look at those officers and soldiers, if it is really Zhao Qingshan who has mobilized the officers and soldiers, then how can there be only a few dozen people? And these people all look listless, and they don't look like they have accepted military orders to protect important people." ”
Shangguan Qianye changed his mind, and Ouyang Yuhe was not wrong at all. But seeing that the team was about to walk over, he was a little unwilling, and sighed and said: "Then should we just let them go? If Chang Jiuren is really in the car, then how can I be worthy of my dead relatives if I miss such an opportunity?"
