Sealing Sword

Few people knew who Yingxiu was, but when the words "Mingzhu Gambling Workshop" and "Hundred Ghost Gate" came out, everyone was shocked.

If the Hundred Ghosts Sect hadn't made arrangements in advance for this time's planning of the Wulin Conference in the Buried Soul Palace, the casualties of the sects would have been even more horrific.Both black and white in the martial arts world are mostly secretive about the existence of the Hundred Ghosts in Zhongdu. They can neither oppose it nor make good friends with it. The two sides have maintained a delicate relationship for a long time.

As for Mingzhu Gambling Workshop, although its reputation is not far-reaching, everyone in the martial arts world should know about it.It and Baiguimen are both representatives of the neutral sect, but they have always been indifferent to each other. The former uses gambling to make information transactions, while the latter focuses more on secret transactions. The two gray forces unexpectedly have a day of cooperation.

At this moment, the sensitive person was thinking secretly, and the scribe named Luo who had had a quarrel with Chu Xiwei in the forest before suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the layout of the Burial Soul Palace is so secret this time, how did the Hundred Ghosts Sect discover their tricks?" ? Mingzhu Gambling House has always been only engaged in gambling table business, how come it is such a coincidence that they want to go to the battlefield in person this time?"

It's not that there are people who have doubts about these two questions, but it's just that no one dares to ask them due to the situation. Now that there is an early bird, the crowd immediately burst into discussions, almost bringing back the atmosphere of fighting against each other just now.

"Father!" Luo Ziting frowned and dissuaded, "The enemy is now, not the time to talk about these things."

"Mr. Luo's words are wrong. Now that the enemy is approaching, if we don't get rid of the monsters and monsters inside first, don't we have to guard against the knife behind us?" Someone said in a strange way, and was caught in the next moment. A stone hit his face hard, and he spit out two bloody teeth.

"A dignified man, if you dare to speak, you have to be brave. If you have the ability to arrange right and wrong, why don't you stand up and speak up?" Chu Xiwei patted a few dust off his hands, the corners of his mouth were crooked, but his smile didn't reach his eyes.

When he made a move, it was like pouring cold water into a boiling oil pan, and the oil exploded in an instant. The scholar named Luo pushed Luo Ziting away, and said, "Who are you? I just saw you in the forest defending the group of Hundred Ghosts Sect." People who hide their heads and show their tails, dare to attack and hurt people now, do you really not pay attention to the heroes?"

Ying Xiu's eyes narrowed imperceptibly.

Huayue Mountain Villa is one of the great sects of martial arts and Baidao. It was established in the period of Gaozu. For generations, the family precepts have been eager to be righteous and be kind to others. , but they are both civil and military, broad-minded, and even won the fat job of the Southern Land Emperor Merchant, and they are like a fish in water in the rivers and lakes.It's a pity that in this generation, although Patriarch Luo Qingshan is not weak in civil and martial arts, he is already full of desire for profit, and his eyes have become narrow-minded.

"The one who can kill the enemy and win is called a 'hero'. What qualification does Patriarch Luo have to call himself a hero?" Chu Xi smiled coldly.

Luo Qingshan straightened his neck and stood with his hands behind his back: "Naturally with the qualification of Huayue Villa."

"You are neither the founder nor the one who promoted it, but what glory is there for you to enjoy the shade of your ancestors?" Haughty irony, "Of course, if Patriarch Luo has a way to summon all the people from Huayue Villa within an hour to protect everyone from this difficult time, it is indeed 'the great man becomes a hero', and I will pour wine to apologize and dare not Contemptuous. Alas, the little girl speaks bluntly and doesn't understand the world, the head of the Luo family wants the adults to have a lot."

Before she could finish her sentence, there were a few suppressed laughs from the crowd, Luo Qingshan's face turned livid, if Luo Ziting hadn't been holding her down firmly, he might not be able to resist.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly, Luo Qingshan's popularity is small and his vision is low, but he is a clown who has neglected the foundation of Huayue Villa for decades, but his only son Luo Ziting still has something to look forward to. .

It's just that although Yingxiu's words are happy, they really offend people. Chu Xiwei doesn't believe that the owner of Mingzhu Gambling Workshop will be quick at this juncture, let alone he is here alone, and the other party can join hands with Sun Minfeng He came here and claimed that he was entrusted by "Chu Xiwei, the master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect". Even with the back of his head, he could guess that Yingxiu was the new partner Ye Fusheng had found for him.

Because of this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Although Jialan City and Wenchan Mountain are not hundreds of miles away, it is not easy to communicate with each other at this juncture.When the two of them took the place of each other and split up the work, they had already arranged all their respective deployments. Ye Fusheng should not have known that there were frequent changes in Wuxiang Temple and even foreign soldiers and horses appeared, so naturally he would not risk his whereabouts to be exposed to send him a helping hand come over.

Deducting the time spent on running around, unless Ye Fusheng got reliable information and was sure that there would be a change here, Ying Xiu and the others would definitely not be able to catch up with this critical juncture.

But he sent Sun Minfeng and Yingxiu, but he disappeared, which means that the city of Jialan is not safe, and even... Ye Fusheng has caught the tail of the undercurrent, but dragged out the beasts that are hooked underneath. Only in a hurry to send those who he thinks is available here.

Bits of clues were slowly connected in Chu Xiwei's mind, but it was a pity that others were asking about Chanshan, and the exchange of information was almost cut off due to successive great changes. Now the only people who can get information are Yingxiu and Sun Minfeng.

However, with Yingxiu around, Sun Minfeng's eyes and ears will inevitably be covered by it, and what he knows is probably what Yingxiu wants him to know.

Thinking of this, he raised his head just in time to meet Ying Xiu's gaze. There was just the right amount of hostility in that gaze, as well as scrutiny and temptation.

Her aggressiveness was not for the purpose of being criticized by the public, but for the purpose of waiting for Chu Xiwei to speak out to help her, not only to consider his means, but also to tie the two on the same boat under the pressure of all the forces.

Seeing Luo Qingshan push Luo Ziting away, and a folding fan hit Yingxiu's face, Chu Xiwei also became annoyed and did not want to continue entanglement, she raised her hand and sheathed her knife, not only blocking his move, but also taking advantage of the situation to reverse the attack In Luo Qingshan's arm, his arm bone hurt, and the folding fan almost fell to the ground.

"Patriarch Luo is jealous of evil, but please restrain your temper first, and save your opponents for fighting." Standing in front of Ying Xiu and Sun Mifeng, Chu Xiwei restrained her domineering attitude when facing the crowd, "Hundred ghosts are fine. Regardless of whether Mingzhu Gambling Shop is engaged in the secret information business, it is not surprising that they have their own news channels. What's more, everyone knows that there are many hidden stakes in the temple. I had no choice but to turn the light into darkness, and only move the whole body when it leads to something. Presumably, everyone has seen from the recent events that this move is not wrong, and naturally you can understand the need to act in a hurry."

After a pause, Chu Xiwei swept his eyes away, and said again: "The enemy is approaching now. Although everyone is strong in martial arts, it is difficult for mortal flesh and blood to defeat thousands of troops. If we have any conspiracy, we can watch the fire from the other side There is no need to be trapped here with everyone after you have finished your career, I believe you can weigh all the pros and cons, now please put aside the quarrel for a while and think about how to deal with the enemy."

He defeated Luo Qingshan and established his prestige, but left the other party's three points indifferent and did not do anything wrong. His words were reasonable and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. Everyone thought of him bringing people back to help, and they had another fight with Zhao Bing'e. The knife's edge is intertwined with life and death, and it is indeed not something that can be done by acting.

With a smile on his face, Sun Minfeng stood lazily behind Chu Xiwei, without any worries or fears. Yingxiu glanced at him, and then at the back of "Ye Fusheng". God rest assured.

However, he convinced most of the people, and Luo Qingshan was held down by Luo Ziting to hold back his breath, but he still refused to let go, and shouted loudly: "What you are talking about is all about Baiguimen and Mingzhu Gambling House. Stand? But who are you, what is your relationship with the Hundred Ghosts, and why do you decide on their behalf..."

Chu Xiwei glanced over, not sharply, but the person he saw shivered and fell silent.

Sun Minfeng said at the right time: "Just because this Mr. Ye is the life-and-death friend of our Master Chu Clan, not to mention being entrusted to make a decision right now, even if he is the master."

Few people in Baidao know Ye Fusheng, but everyone knows Sun Mifeng. His existence is a signboard that the Hundred Ghosts have put on the bright side. The words that come out of his mouth may be watery, but they are very important.

Ying Xiu also walked from behind Chu Xiwei to his side, lowered her eyebrows, and said: "I am here to tide over the difficulties with you, not to die together. Now that team of foreign soldiers is trapped by my people in the west In the mountains and forests, but they are numerous and powerful and are extremely good at fighting, they probably won't be able to stop them for too long, we have already wasted too much time talking, if you still want to continue talking, I will not accompany you."

Se Kong didn't speak just now because the crowd was so excited, and speaking out rashly would only cause counterproductive effects, so he simply let go and let Chu Xiwei and the others confess and frighten them, now it's time for him to control the field.

He pressed his palms together to discuss, and clasped his palms in the direction of the sleeves: "Amitabha, do you know the number of soldiers and horses in this team, if we want to defeat the enemy, what are the chances of winning?"

"There are thousands of people, so the chance of winning is [-] percent." After a pause, Ying Xiu added, "The troubles in Burial Soul Palace are still unsolved, the two may cooperate with each other, and our chances of winning are even lower."

Se Kong thought for a moment: "They came from the west, there is only the dangerous road from Guikujian to Xiling, and they can't pass ten thousand troops, which means they have no backup."

"Not necessarily." Chu Xiwei raised his eyes, "Surprise soldiers are sent out on a dangerous journey, and the army will march on the right path. This army came from Xiling, rather than attacking Wenchan Mountain, it is better to say that it will cut off the way out."

Qu Jin was the first to react: "If you want to cut off the back road, you should kill the forward first... Mr. Ye means that the road ahead is blocked?"

"Now there are strange soldiers in the direction of Xiling, and I waited for the past to meet on a narrow road, so I can't resist; Xiao Yangu controls the Nanshan Road, Zhao Bing'e should go to join him; the East Mountain Road was taken by the Hundred Ghosts, and now it is a road. Way to go, but..."

Xuan Xiao said: "But what?"

Chu Xiwei asked back: "Where should we retreat after we leave Wenchan Mountain?"

Heng Ming said: "Naturally retreat to Jialan City!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people nodded in agreement, but Hengyuan asserted: "You can't go to Jialan City."

Seeing everyone's eyes, Hengyuan sorted out his thoughts, and said: "The Buried Soul Palace is going to calculate the martial arts conference, and the power of pouring out the magic way is enough to turn the world upside down. Why bother with the alien race outside the pass? In other words, such a strange race of alien race The army came from a dangerous journey, is it just to help He Lianyu suppress the Baidao of the Central Plains?"

"This……"

"The drunkard's intention is not to drink. It is true that the Burial Soul Palace wants to suppress Bai Dao, but it is absolutely impossible for him to recruit foreign soldiers and horses for this reason." Chu Xiwei turned to look at Yingxiu, "Miss Yingxiu is from Jialan Come to the city, there are a lot of people who are well-informed, don't know what information is related?"

Since we met, every time Yingxiu sees his familiar face and dress, and thinks of who is under the skin, she always has some grudges against Chu Xiwei. The coquettish little grandson has become what he is now, his words and deeds are completely different from those of the past, and his scheming and deployment are no worse than hers. Suddenly he understands why the other party has come to where he is today, and why... Ye Fusheng values ​​him so much .

She stroked her temples lightly to hide her expression, and said, "In Jialan City, there is the 'Hundred Foot' of the Five Poison Guards of the Buried Soul Palace, and the leader is Wei Changyun, the master of Xuanwu Hall. Besides... we found traces of the activities of foreign races outside the pass in the city."

Yingxiu pinched out the unknown parts of the information, and told the remaining nine truths and one falsehood, letting everyone understand what "the crisis must not be taken lightly" in the shortest possible time.

At the end, she said again: "Although Master Chumen stayed in the city to clean up 'Hundred Foot', but now the military and political turmoil is involved, he may also be powerless. If you want to retreat to Jialan City, you need to be prepared for the worst."

If the alien army is approaching, and the sun and the moon in Jialan City fall, I am afraid that those who stay in it will become the shackles in the urn, and those defectors may also be turned away, facing the front and rear attack with nowhere to escape.

Luo Qingshan said coldly: "According to what you say, it's better to just wait here to die!"

Xue Chanyi frowned, and suddenly looked up: "Ask if there is a shelter around Chan Mountain?"

Heng Yuan said: "Although there are villages and towns around, they are quite scattered, and on the one hand, there may be spies, and on the other hand, if a military disaster is imminent, we will bring disasters to innocent people, harming others and not benefiting ourselves."

Chu Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "No, I have to go to Jialan City."

Sekong turned his head to the side: "Galan City is full of dangers, why does Mr. Ye go to the Tiger Mountain even though he knows that there are tigers in the mountain?"

"Based on our current situation, there is no other place to take shelter except Jialan City. Even if we know there is an ambush, we have no other choice." If you say you will defend the back road of Jialan City, then at least you have to take a gamble."

The person who refuted him this time was Ying Xiu. The woman raised her head, her soft face rarely showed an aggressive look, and her voice was almost cold: "Is your trust worth all of us risking everything?"

Chu Xiwei's eyes fell on her, and Ying Xiu's heart suddenly froze, as if his eyes turned into a hand that penetrated into the flesh and grasped the heart under her ribs.

"If Miss Yingxiu didn't believe him, she wouldn't take the risk of coming to Wenchan Mountain at this juncture. The unnecessary temptation can be terminated." Chu Xiwei stood Jinghong Knife on the ground, put her hand on the handle of the knife lightly, and scabbard The swan goose engraving on the card is facing the direction of Yingxiu, "You have to be a gambler once in life, and he is willing to risk his life. Why should I be afraid of wealth?"

Yingxiu stared at him, silently.

The audience fell silent inexplicably, and the weight of life and death could be heard from these few words, as if someone was putting a thousand weights on one side, betting on the fate of a disaster, or survival from a desperate situation.

Qu Jin looked at Chu Xiwei and took a deep breath: "Young Master Ye is right, but this gamble is too big, and a slight mistake in the middle may lead to more serious consequences. We must have a careful plan to reduce the risk to a minimum." lowest."

Everyone echoed, there is indeed no other choice in times of emergency, but if the risk can be reduced, no one wants to die in vain.

"Old Qu's concerns are indeed justified, so what I mean is..." But after hearing a clang, Chu Xiwei stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept across everyone's faces like lightning, "Each way, separate act."

Aoyama Arakuzuka said:

Lao Ye gave Chu Chu unsparing support, and Chu Chu gave Lao Ye trust that he would never regret.

The two get together less and leave more, but they have a tacit understanding.

I have always felt that the relationship between men should be different from being sticky and inseparable, and more about being independent and entrusted to each other.From a protector to a side-by-side fighter, this is the feeling of strong cp in my heart.
