Spirit Soldier Pavilion, in and out of the level.

More than a dozen armored attendants were guarding the entrance, and in front of the entrance, there was a long procession, extremely long, stretching from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain, and it was not difficult to find that there were almost some traders in this line.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that the Spirit Soldier Pavilion is short of water, so I'm here to sell water, please raise your hands. A water dealer showed off the goods in the car. In Liancheng, the water source is quite scarce, and it usually comes from a few places, and some people who are far away from the water source have to rely on the people who sell the water to survive.

"Check!" One of the attendants waved his hand, and the other attendants immediately walked up to the cargo and began to inspect it.

"Go! ”

"I'm here to buy copper wire, and I heard that the Spirit Soldier Pavilion is selling excess materials, so I'll see if there is any excess copper wire in the Spirit Soldier Pavilion warehouse. ”

In addition to the water sellers, most of the rest of the long queue are these recyclers, because Liancheng cannot trade with other cities, most of the items are self-sufficient, and the productivity is relatively low, especially the bronze ceramics need to be reused, so recyclers can be seen everywhere in Liancheng.

Then the other attendants began to check as usual.

"Go! ”

"You, come here! Elder Dong wants to check you. An armored squire shouted at the vendor.

When the vendor heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to resist, and walked in front of Dong Xiquan under the guidance of the armor attendant.

Dong Xiquan was sitting in a carriage, and several of Dong Xiquan's cronies were standing next to the carriage.

"Open inspection. Dong Xiquan waved his hand.

The vendor was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down in a panic and begged for mercy: "Elder, this box is full of water, and once it is opened, it will leak, how can this water be sold?"

"Keep checking! During this time, no one can let go!"

Dong Xiquan glared at the vendor, and there was a cold glow in his eyes that seemed to be about to kill, forcing the vendor to dare not speak out immediately.

At this moment, a young voice came from not far away: "Elder Dong, why bother? Let him go." ”

As soon as the voice came out, the cronies subconsciously stopped their hands and looked up at the young man one after another.

"Thank you, sir!" said the vendor, with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed to the young man.

"Hongyuan, why did you suddenly come out, your injury....?" Dong Xiquan heard this, and hurriedly walked out of the carriage barefoot, and stepped forward to hold Xia Hongyuan's hand.

"It's just a minor injury, no major injury. Xia Hongyuan's face turned pale, and he waved his hand and said, "I came here on purpose to advise the elders to you, you are just doing useless work by sampling here." ”

Dong Xiquan paused slightly, and said in his heart: "But I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, although the news of our Lingbing Pavilion water shortage and reselling materials is well known, but it is impossible for so many water dealers and sellers to go up the mountain to do business, unless it is a conspiracy." ”

"Well, I'm afraid it was Zhenzhi who spread the news of these two things everywhere in Liancheng, and some merchants saw that there was an opportunity, so they went up the mountain to make a profit, and if I guessed correctly, it was the master who instructed it. Xia Hong said from afar.

"Since it is that man's conspiracy, then I have to examine these people more strictly. Dong Xiquan frowned.

Xia Hongyuan shook his head, "It's useless to check strictly, according to the previous practice, they must be trying to hide people's eyes and ears, but they are actually trying to do something else." ”

"But...?"

Xia Hongyuan interrupted Dong Xiquan's words, "Although I have been recuperating from my injuries for the past two days, I have paid close attention to all the dynamics of the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, I have already investigated in detail, these traders are indeed some regular traders, almost none of them have any details, and they do all go up the mountain to do business after listening to rumors." ”

"But if we let it go as we did last time, we can't guarantee that the consequences will be repeated. Dong Xiquan said with a worried face.

"Elder, rest assured, this matter can be managed, or it can be ignored. ”

"Oh, can you manage it or not?" said Dong Xiquan with raised eyebrows.

"I've already done the math, I know what they're up to, but since the elders are still worried, we'll just take care of it, and now we just need to drive out the vendors and strictly guard the gates of entry and exit. Xia Hong said from afar.

"But if we drive away the vendors, will we be playing into the hands of Zhenzhi and them?" Dong Xiquan said a little skeptically.

"There will be no problem in driving out the vendors this time. Xia Hongyuan smiled lightly.

Seeing that Xia Hongyuan was so sure, Dong Xiquan immediately put his mind at ease, "Okay, come here." ”

"Yes!" a cronie immediately walked up to Dong Xiquan.

"Pass my order, drive all the merchants in the cabinet away, and order that all strangers are not allowed to enter or leave!"

--------------------------

The next day, the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, in and out of the checkpoint.

There was a commotion at the entrance and exit level on the mountainside, and the square eye was black and oppressive of a crowd in the past, if it hadn't been for dozens of armored attendants to stop them, I am afraid that these crowds would have broken through this barrier long ago.

Above the attic wall.

Dong Xiquan, there were many attendants standing behind him, only Xia Hongyuan could sit on the seat, they watched this scene together, and everyone was surprised.

"There are one hundred and sixty-three people at the checkpoint today. Dong Xiquan's face was gloomy and he muttered to himself.

"Someone!" Dong Xiquan waved his hand and said, "Quickly drive away these people gathered at the checkpoint." ”

"Yes!" replied one of the close confidants.

At this moment, Xia Hongyuan, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to stop the cronie, and said, "Wait first, don't rush." ”

The attendant stopped, looked at Xia Hongyuan, clasped his fists and saluted, "Young Master Xia, what do you have to order?"

Xia Hong stood up, glanced at the people at the checkpoint, then looked at the attendants, and said, "Let those people come in the Spirit Soldier Pavilion, there is no need to stop them." ”

The cronie was stunned, dumbfounded, and looked at Dong Xiquan at a loss, waiting for Dong Xiquan to signal.

"Hongyuan, this ....." Dong Xiquan didn't understand it anymore.

"You come and explain to Elder Dong who are the people gathered at the pass now. Xia Hongyuan looked at the cronie and said.

"Yes!"

The cronie nodded, then turned to Dong Xiquan and hugged his fists and said, "Elder Hui, they are dressed in luxurious clothes, and they claim to be the upper class people in Liancheng, but their subordinates think that they are just some big businessmen. ”

Xia Hongyuan smiled and said lightly: "Elder Dong, look, even they have been deceived, and they actually regard those people who gather at the checkpoint as businessmen, if we get rid of these people now, we will fall into that person's conspiracy." ”

"Oh?" Hongyuan said in detail. Dong Xiquan leaned over to Xia Hongyuan's side and hurriedly said in a deep voice.

"At the beginning, Shinchi spread the rumors, which attracted a large number of vendors to the mountain, so we all mistakenly thought it was their conspiracy and subconsciously drove them away. Xia Hongyuan is colorful.

"But if we drive out the first group, we will drive out the second and third groups. What if the second and third groups of people who were driven away were not vendors, but were replaced by high-class people?

"Shhhh

Dong Xiquan's heart trembled, and he gasped, "This trick is really vicious! The people gathered at the checkpoint now are actually no longer vendors, but upper-class people!"

Xia Hongyuan said with a smile: "That's right, this is a trick to change the day, and it is also a plan, if we are deceived and accidentally drive away these upper-class people, in this way, it will definitely affect the relationship between us and the upper-class people in Liancheng, this is undoubtedly their discordant plan, and the result will inevitably affect our future development." ”

"However, those fifth-rate people are so arrogant, how could they listen to the rumors of true wisdom and come to my Spirit Soldier Pavilion?" Dong Xiquan said with a puzzled face.

"Those fifth-rate people originally intended to observe our divine weapons, so the real Chile used this to spread rumors and lure those people to our Spirit Weapon Pavilion. Xia Hongyuan pondered.

"I see, I'm glad Hongyuan has seen it through. According to Hongyuan's words, let this group of people go immediately. Dong Xiquan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at the attendant.

---------------

Day 3.

In Xia Hongyuan's cave mansion, Xia Hongyuan was lying on the jade bed to recuperate, the jade bed exuded bursts of cold air, the ice gas scattered, condensed into ice crystals on Xia Hongyuan's body, Xia Hongyuan used ice crystals to stop the pain of the wound.

At this time, he suddenly found that there was a small ice crystal on the jade bed, and if he didn't look at it carefully, he would definitely not be able to detect it.

This ice crystal is no different from ordinary ice crystals, but Xia Hongyuan recognized it at a glance, this is a poisonous centipede crystal, this crystal is raised with a poisonous centipede, once this poisonous centipede enters the body with the crystal, his life is undoubtedly controlled in the hands of others.

As long as he thought that this jade bed was arranged by Dong Xiquan, Xia Hongyuan couldn't help frowning slightly, he had always known that Dong Xiquan was suspicious of him, but he didn't expect that the artifact had not been cast yet, and Dong Xiquan was already planning to start.

He must admit that even if he knows all this, he still needs to disguise, as long as the artifact comes out, it will be the opportunity to swallow all the forces of Dong Xiquan, and as for the person who will win in the end, it will definitely be himself.

An hour later, Dong Xiquan hurried here, looking sad.

"Hongyuan, how is the injury?" Dong Xiquan walked to the side of the jade bed and greeted.

"The elder has a heart, and I only need to think that it will be our victory in three days, and the injury will be much better. Xia Hongyuan's face turned slightly pale, and he sat up from the bed and said, "How is it outside now?"

"There is news from Yueren Mountain that Ouyang Ying's old immortal is going to participate in the weapon test conference. Ouyang Ying said.

"Oh, is there any other news?" Xia Hongyuan coughed lightly and narrowed his eyes.

"Today, some people gathered at the checkpoint again, and I don't know if it's better to catch them up, so I came here to ask what you mean. Dong Xiquan stroked Xia Hongyuan's shoulder and said.

"Ahem.... Another batch?" Xia Hongyuan frowned, and said with a clenched fist, "We have seen through this plan, and he even sent someone over? Could it be that they just want to harass us?" But at this joint, why does Ouyang Ying still participate in the weapon test conference?"

Wrong!

Don't....

These tricks of theirs.... All to cover up the news that Ouyang Ying is preparing to participate in the weapon test conference?

Thinking of this, Xia Hongyuan gasped, "Hiss-"

"Elder, don't worry, just see the move, as for the moment, we don't need to pay attention to the group of people in the gathering level for the time being. Xia Hongyuan replied to Dong Xiquan.

"Hmm, don't worry about it again this time?" Dong Xiquan said.

"That's right, they are just to divert our attention this time, since Ouyang Ying is going to participate in the weapon test conference, it means that they have nothing to do, and they want to give it a go, but now that the artifact is coming out, Ouyang Ying is gone, we should take advantage of the situation to fight the situation, so as to divide the forces behind Ouyang Ying, once the forces behind them are disintegrated, I believe that I can get the information of this schemer, I don't need to wait for three days, I can pinch him in just one day!" Xia Hongyuan sneered.

----------

In Gu Cheng's house, Gu Cheng was waiting for the news to arrive.

"Whoosh-"

A red fox scurried in through the broken window of the house, and with a "poof" sound, a burst of dust emanated from the mahogany, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, carrying a body fragrance, and a female figure slowly appeared in this smoke and dust.

Seeing this female figure, Gu Cheng knew that the mahogany was coming again, and hurriedly walked to the figure and said, "Mahogany." ”

Mahogany walked out of the smoke and dust, and said in a deep voice: "The strategy seems to have succeeded, those staff members no longer pay attention to those vendors, and now the Spirit Soldier Pavilion is full of vendors. ”

"Very good, I finally succeeded in paralyzing Xia Hongyuan. Gu Cheng clapped his hands and said.

Mahogany was puzzled, and subconsciously opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but she quickly stopped her mouth and lowered her head, with a little loss in her eyes.

When Gu Cheng saw the appearance of the mahogany, he knew that the mahogany must be very interested in the reason for the plan, but he didn't dare to ask, so Gu Cheng couldn't help but laugh: "Poof-"

"Let me tell you a story. Gu Cheng said with a smile.

"What's that?" Mahogany's eyes lit up for a moment.

"It's a story called The Wolf Comes. Gu Cheng closed his eyes slightly and said.

"Uh-huh. Redwood couldn't wait to answer.

"A child used the wolf to fool people many times, so that everyone put down their work to save him, the child lied to everyone once, twice, three times, until the sixth time, everyone didn't trust him anymore, but one day, when the wolf really came, although he tore his throat and screamed, no one believed him anymore, and in the end, many of his sheep were killed by wolves!" Gu Cheng said.

Mahogany rolled his eyes, "Could it be.... That's how you're fooling them?"

"That's right, I used this kind of wolf to this kind of tired enemy mentality, when we tossed them a few times, to achieve the truth with the false, with the real with the fake, the number of times, those staff after many times in the air, naturally will not dare to stop those people, first, for fear of offending the fifth-rate people, and second, I don't feel the threat of the vendors, and in the end I simply don't bother to pay attention to those vendors. ”

"But... What threat can these vendors have?" Redwood said, frowning.

"There must be a lot of alchemists mixed in these vendors! These alchemists are a mortal threat!"

Mahogany suddenly realized and said, "That's right! Those alchemists can see through the secret of Yi Rong Dan!"

"That's right, now that Liancheng Dansha is out of stock, various alchemists are worried about where to buy Dansha. Gu Cheng said with a smile.

Mahogany preemptively said: "It just so happens that now the Spirit Soldier Pavilion is reselling dansha everywhere, and dansha is all over here!, so those alchemists will definitely come here!"

"Now that they are familiar with those itinerant vendors, there are only three days left before the day when the bones and weapons are cast, and those staff and attendants will be in a nervous and irritable state of mind, focusing only on weapons, this kind of thinking makes them even more unaware of the alchemist. Gu Cheng took a few steps and said slowly.

"When the time comes, as long as Xia Hongyuan is assigned to Yi Rong Dan, then..."

"Three days later, it's just the day of the weekly distribution of Yi Rong Dan!" said Mahogany with a pinched finger.

"I did everything I could to wait for that day to come, so.... Three days later, it will be the day of the decisive battle!
