The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 39: Meeting on a narrow road

The ancient road is long and the flags are like fire. A sharply armored iron horse is protecting a carriage on the official road. The roads are separated from wheat and wheat, but there is no one inhabited. The people in this area have fled. In fact When Emperor Yongdi Li Zhi struck by lightning, the people here have no chance to escape. No one is now just because someone had been ordered to clear the road here an hour ago to avoid any accidents.

I was sitting in the carriage, with curtains on both sides raised, and bathed in the warm spring light of the Northland. Under the protection of five thousand cavalry, I didn’t worry about someone coming to assassinate, but instead enjoyed the scenery along the way. Leisure is like traveling in spring. When I set off to the north, Li Xian and Changsunji had joined forces and pushed forward to Jinyang in a big way. Now the Northern Han Dynasty has no way to send an army of more than a thousand people to overcome the heavy blockade of the Yong army. It only needs to act on behalf of the state. Once the army is encircled, the final offensive can begin. What's more, in Dongchuan, Dayong is able to deal with the Northern Han Dynasty with all his strength. There is a huge disparity between the strong and the weak, and the chance of winning is promising. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel complacent.

At this moment, a soft sigh came from my ear. I looked back and saw that Li Shun showed a faint sad look on his face, his eyes widened. This guy was fighting with the Fengyi Sect Master, and he did not show any worry. The look, what happened today, seems to have seen my doubts, Li Shun said anxiously: "My son, in the past the two armies were undivided, the Sect Master of the Demon Sect will naturally not take easy moves. Now that the overall situation is set, Jing Wuji I would stand on the sidelines again, Master Cizhen is escorted by the emperor, and Prince Qi is also protected by masters of Shaolin, but I am the only one around the son, and even Zhang Jinxiong and his son are not with him, and the demon sect disciples are like Duan Lingxiao and Qiu Yufei. They are all innate masters. If they take action together, let alone the son with only five thousand knights, if he gets more, he will inevitably be attacked by them. In fact, it doesn’t matter if the son resists the decree several times, it’s better. Such a risk."

I said indifferently: "You have been worried, what kind of character is the Demon Sect, who just wants to assassinate, but also against the emperor and the king of Qi, after all, now I want to restore the situation, unless there is something wrong with these two people, I don’t have that much value anymore. I succeeded in the assassination. At most, it angered the emperor and the king of Qi. Unless it is purely to vent my anger, there is no reason to assassinate me."

Li Shun smiled bitterly and said: "My son, some people act unreasonably. How can someone like Mozong do things, how can they be expected again and again."

I was about to persuade him, when suddenly three piano sounds sounded in my ears. The sound of the piano sounded like thunder. All I felt was blood rushing in my heart and my body shape trembled. Li Shun’s palm was already on my vest. Infuriated.

The continuous sound of the piano that followed, silky threads, clearly not high, but clear to the ears, where did it come from, just as if the piano player was by his side, the piano declared that there was a faint sadness in Lizhong , Like a frozen glacial river, crystal clear under the sun, so beautiful, but under the river there is murderous intent and danger hidden. The sound of the piano became more and more intense, and the army stopped. Everyone felt that the sound of the piano came overwhelmingly. It was clear that one's own side was surrounded by heavy soldiers, but it felt like a lone boat in the ocean, helpless.

At this moment, the heavily protected carriage rang out like weeping music. It was not silky or bamboo, but it was clearer and more lingering. The violin sound became louder and louder, but the music was not at all. Absolutely, wrapped around the sound of the piano, the stronger it gets stronger.

In a short while, the sound of the piano gradually stopped, and then from the depths of the fields beside the ancient road, there were a few clear and audible sounds of "Xian Weng, Xian Weng". Although most of the people did not understand the rhythm, they clearly listened to the piano. The meaning of invitation.

The expression on my face changed slightly. I knew who played the sound of the piano, but what surprised me was that there was another meaning in the sound of the piano. The person playing the piano was obviously involuntary. Lord, that's why I feel sad. Picking up the curtain, I said lightly: "Let's stay here for a while, Xiao Shunzi and Hu Yanshou will go with me to meet the Demon Zong."

Li Shun and Hu Yanshou flashed surprises on their faces, but they also anticipated in their hearts and did not raise any questions. Hu Yanshou said with a serious face: "The Devil Sect is unfathomable, and the two countries are hostile. The body is in danger." Although Li Shun didn't say a word, his face was full of disapproval.

I can’t refute the truth: “I’m too late to change my course. Even if I have five thousand cavalry, I’m still able to protect myself. Besides, what kind of character is the Demon Sect. Since I have been invited to meet, I won’t be a killer. Okay, I'm determined, you don't need to say."

Hu Yanshou's expression was shocked, the eyes of this usually gentle and elegant young man suddenly flashed a firm look, and his words revealed indisputable majesty. He confided in his heart and secretly said that if the adult is injured, at most I will be buried. After making up his mind, he personally selected the eighteen people with the strongest martial arts of Hu Laiwei and the most closely coordinated to accompany him, and then issued a military order to make the three armies surround the field in front of them, and attack if there is any sign of impropriety inside. The jade and stone were burned.

When Hu Yanshou arranged the manpower, I didn’t rush to play with the folding fan in my hand. I didn’t see Li Shun, whose face was as cold as frost. Although it was a little sudden, the meeting with the Demon Sect had been long ago. I was planning, but I thought it would be after Jinyang encircled. The three masters, Fengyi Sect Master, needless to say, Master Cizhen deserves to be an eminent monk, but I don't know what kind of person is this Northern Han national master, the Sect Master of Demon Sect? Seeing several of his disciples, Duan Lingxiao was aloof, courageous and resolute, worthy of being a demon sect, Xiao Tong was shrewd and capable, although he was repeatedly deceived by me, but missed the opportunity, Su Dingluan, who died in Yongdu, was also strong and loyal. It’s heartbreaking. Although Qiu Yufei is arrogant and indifferent, his character and talent can be called peerless, and he is worthy of being a famous disciple, such as Long Tingfei, Tan Ji, Ling Duan, etc., who have only received the guidance of the Demon Sect. Heroes and heroes of the world, there are disciples like this, the Demon Sect must not disappoint me.

Seeing that Hu Yanshou has been dispatched, I walked slowly into the car and walked to the place where the sound of the piano came. Just now, Hu Yanshou had sent the two tigers to explore the aisle. They led the way and naturally went straight to Huanglong. But I don’t know how to martial arts, and my silk shoes on my feet often fall into the soft soil, and it’s quite difficult to walk. Li Shun tried to reach out and help me several times, but I refused to go to see the Sect Master of the Demon Sect. Pious heart, is it sincere to describe embarrassing?

Cross the field path and around a small hill. The low flat on the leeward has been leveled and cleaned. A camp tent is placed on it. Unlike military tents that can shelter from wind and rain, the tents of this camp are all It is a white silk screen, which can almost be seen through under the sunlight. There is no obstruction at the door of the tent, and the scene inside the tent can be clearly seen. Inside the camp tent a few meters away, the ground is covered with a thick gorgeous warm wool carpet. You can see the thickness of the carpet underneath, which is enough to block the cold underground. There are no chairs in the tent, just four or five. A brocade-faced futon, and a few simple and generous low tables, in the corner of the camp, the bronze incense burner is rising up with a delicate fragrance, although the furnishings are simple, each piece is exquisite, showing that the owner here is different from the vulgar tolerance.

Hu Yanshou and others have no appreciative thoughts at all. Although he hinders the power of the owner of the tent, he does not dare to bring the tiger guard close to the tent, but he spreads out and surrounds the tent faintly, I Wei Wei With a smile, even though they knew that the move was useless, but they were unwilling to speak out to dissuade them, wouldn't it be good for them to feel at ease? When I walked to the tent, I looked at the luxurious carpet inside, and then at the silk shoes covered with mud. After a little drying, I dropped my shoes and walked into the tent, facing the person sitting in the center, with a gentle appearance. The graceful and graceful middle-aged man in blue shirt gave a deep thought, and said: "I learned Jiang Zhe at the end, and I saw the suzerain. It is no longer a day for my late birth to admire the predecessors. Today we meet in a stranger and be favored by the predecessors. How lucky it is."

Jing Wou-Ki’s gaze fixedly fell on the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him. He wore an ordinary blue shirt. There were traces of dirt on the hem of the shirt. The silk shoes had been taken out of the tent, and he did not wear a scarf on his head. With only a hosta to live on the gray hair, there is something like a valuable Marquis of Yong, Lieutenant to the horse, but a mountain scholar, unfettered, and clearly facing himself, a powerful enemy who can take his life with every gesture, But his complexion was faint, as if he had no thoughts of life or death, as if he was just coming to visit a close relative and elders, as if he were casual and natural.

There was a smile on his lips, but he sighed slightly in his heart. Jing Wuji stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang does not need to be polite. The distinguished guests are coming from afar, the servants of the wind and dust, Jing Mou is just a little landlord, please sit down . Yufei, please Mr. Jiang for tea."

I straightened up, picked a futon and sat down. Li Shun stood behind me for the first time. Although he was not familiar with martial arts, I could feel the rattling aura on him. Gently hit him with an elbow, and felt that the tension on his body suddenly disappeared, returning to the calm and indifferent of the past. At this moment, I felt Jing Wuji's slightly approving glance passing by. If I didn't realize it, I raised my head and looked at a black shirt, holding a tea cup and knelt in front of me on one knee. Qiu Yufei, with a condensed expression, said with a smile on his face: "Brother Yufei, I haven't seen you for many days." After he said that he took the tea cup with both hands, he did not dare to neglect at all. If a person like Qiu Yufei hadn't been for his master’s guest today, how could he be such a big gift, don’t say I love him and respect him, just rely on his. Status and status should not be taken lightly.

An inexplicable emotion flashed in Qiu Yufei’s eyes. This person used to be a deeply negative person, but now he knows that he is mostly a **** in his hand. After the grievances are cleared, his heart rushes. It's just the sympathy of the day. After returning to Jinyang, he went to ask Master for sin. Master just laughed, and then left Jinyang with him the next day. Unexpectedly, he was going to intercept Jiang Zhe on the way. He knew in his heart that he would never violate Master. Will, but if Master is determined to take the life of this young man, what can I do? The struggle in the heart was undoubtedly revealed in the Qin. It was unexpected that Jiang Zhe would still come here to meet, instead of quickly fleeing with the army. Qiu Yufei was not sure whether this meeting met life or death.

Jing Wuji looked at Jiang Zhe, who was smiling and savouring tea, and his eyes fell on his temples. He sighed and said: "Mr. Jiang is not over thirty, he is born early, really pitiful, Yong Di can It’s no wonder that there is such a loyal and painstaking counselor who is invincible, but when the overall situation is settled, he is relieved of his post of supervising the army. I don’t know if the husband will mind, and regardless of the road away from Guanshan, he summoned Mr. to meet. Are you eager to meet your husband?"

I respectfully said: "The lord is overly acclaimed, philosophical and lazy, and everyone knows. The so-called painstaking effort is just a young man who is shallow and does not care about his body, so that the young man has a big hair and laughs generously. As for the love of the emperor, the emperor has a deep affection. , Not to mention, the emperor is the lord of all peoples, the status of monarchs and ministers is important, and An Neng has a preference for personal affection. Moreover, the philosopher is weak, the emperor cannot bear the burden, and serving as a supervising army is just a last resort. Now the generals are united. , Zhe is useless anymore, so the dismissal is a matter of course. As for the call for a thousand miles, it is related to the military affairs of the prefecture. It is inconvenient to tell, please forgive me."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jing Wuji's eyes, saying: "Mr. Jiuwen is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He used to talk to the master of Fengyi Sect in a suspenseful way, without fear, but why is he facing Jing, a strong enemy today? So frank, knowing everything, is it possible that Mr. Feng is not afraid of Fengyi, but is afraid of Jing?"

I smiled faintly, and said, "Why did the Sect Master say this? Zhe will answer all questions. It is because the Sect Master is the master of Xian Yu Fei’s brother. Zhe and Yu Fei don’t know each other. Although they were a little unhappy in the past, Zhe still regards Yufei as a close friend. In this way, the suzerain is also Zhe’s elders, and the elders have inquiries. As long as it is not related to our military secrets, how can they not answer."

Jing Wuji said with a smile but a real smile: "So, it's just that Mr. Jiang made suggestions for Emperor Yong and King Qi and bad things to me. All people in the Northern Han Dynasty hated him. If he can get the first rank of Mr., he will be able to boost morale and become chaotic. Yong Junxin, this seat also has the intent to kill. The gentleman is so not afraid of danger, so he is soft-hearted, or thinks that you, the thousands of cavalry, can save your life by your side, or think I will look at Yufei Are you not going to die in Shangrao? You let Yufei come back, do you want him to dissuade this seat so as to save your life?"

Although Zong Wuji's remarks are an understatement, in the hearts of Li Shun, Hu Yanshou, Qiu Yufei and others, they feel that the words are damaging to the heart, and the sound is shocking, regardless of the sweat in the palms of Hu Yanshou, It was Li Shun and Qiu Yufei, both of whom had already reached the innate realm, and they were still in a state of confusion. Li Shun naturally wanted to guard against Jing Wuji's troubles, but Qiu Yufei was hesitant in his heart, and the atmosphere inside and outside the camp suddenly changed. It was so dignified and stagnant that it was almost breathless. There is only one person who still looks as usual, and that is Jiang Zhe, who has no crown and feet.

In the face of the enemy and friends in the tent, a grandmaster, and two innate masters, I stretched my bones and stretched a lot, and then no longer maintained a kneeling posture, but replaced it with a skip. Posture, smiled: "Just now the elders who were late to meet friends, naturally have to be courteous and respectful. Now that the suzerain has stated that he is an enemy or not a friend, then Zhe does not need to be restrained. Please do not blame the suzerain. Zhe is usually lazy. I am really impatient with those etiquette."

When I said this, I saw Qiu Yufei's face showing a smile of laughter, and Jing Wuji's expression was also gentle. Although I can't see Li Shun's expression behind him, he has been with him for many years, only from the change in his breath. I also know that the hostility in his heart is slightly reduced. He knows me very well, and naturally knows that I will not make fun of my life. Doing so will inevitably be reliant.

Of course, I will not be overly presumptuous, and said in a serious tone: "The lord is here, only carrying Jade Fei. If he wants to assassinate him, how can he invite guests with the sound of the piano? The five thousand cavalry is not a fake. There is still the possibility of surviving the blow. Although Zhe has entered Luo, he is besieged by a large army outside and protected by Xiao Shunzi inside. If the suzerain strikes at this time, it may be easy to take Jiang's life, but it is difficult to give birth to this place. Very, it’s okay for the suzerain, Yufei will never escape, Yufei Xiandi respects the suzerain, presumably the suzerain will not put him in a desperate situation."

At this point, I saw that Jing Wou-ki had never said anything, but his expression was quite permissive, so he continued: "What's more, since entering the Northern Han Dynasty, the suzerain has not paid much attention to the assassination. It’s no wonder that the people of the Northern Han Dynasty are brave and do not like conspiracy and trickery. If things such as assassinations are okay, if they are done frequently, it will inevitably make the Demon Sect become a sinister villain in the eyes of the people of the Northern Han Dynasty. It’s not easy to make an assassination. Yu Fei and Duan Da Gongzi are under the assassination. First, I have a reputation for being feminine and treacherous. I am not a hero. The soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty feel that I can accept the assassination. Second, the soldiers are dangerous and fierce. Jiang is one of the key figures. I benefited a lot from the assassination, so no one opposed it. Now Jiang has been relieved of his post as a supervising army, and is no longer an important figure in this battle. The status of suzerain is far superior Da Gongzi Duan and Yu Fei, so the suzerain’s assassination of me not only failed to motivate the North Han army, but lowered my own status. Besides angering our army, I didn’t get any practical benefits, so my suzerain was not an assassination. , Sovereign invites me to meet, if it is a sudden killer, wouldn’t it make the world laugh."

A smile flashed in Jing Wuji's eyes, and he said lightly: "You said so many reasons, but none of them are the reason why I didn't kill you."

I was overjoyed in my heart, and finally got a word of truth. It seemed that my life was safe, and I quickly said respectfully and respectfully: "Please show me the lord." I completely forgot my rude sitting posture and the description that could be described as embarrassing.

Jing Wuji said, "Since Jing has left the Lantai, he is abandoning his status as a national teacher. If he wants to kill, there will be any scruples. Even if you have countless reasons, I want to kill you. I won’t frown. Why don’t you think about Yu Fei’s intentions, let alone what status and status you have. As for whether you have any benefits, you don’t need to consider it. Just killing you can vent my anger, and no one can change my mind. Today. If you don’t take your life, the only reason I don’t want to kill you is."

I heard a cold sweat, so dangerous, so dangerous. From the sincere expression when Jing Wuji spoke, I knew that what he said was nothing false. He really just didn't want to kill me, although I don’t know why, but It is God bless you to be able to save your life.

Thinking of this, I quickly resumed my kneeling posture and assumed the most polite posture, saying: "Thank you for not killing, and I don’t know what kind of advice the lord has. Life."

Jing Wuji sighed slightly in his heart, Jiang Zhe’s name had already been heard. Although he and the Fengyi sect master had decided to live and die, there was no trace of hostility between the two. Instead, they felt a sense of sympathy. She is a peerless beauty who has never forgotten that day in white clothes. After hearing that Fan Huiyao died in the hunting palace, Jing Wuji did everything possible to go through one by one. Although some things were unknown and no rumor, the outline of them was already known. The death of the Fengyi sect master was done by the young man in front of him, but strangely, Jing Wuji did not feel hatred at all, because this young man had already used all the power he could use to the extreme, he just survived. One day, the heart of defeating this young man wisely was to send Qiu Yufei and Duan Lingxiao to assassinate them twice, and it was the wit and courage of both sides who carried out it. It was not all relying on tyrannical and unstoppable force, but it was a failure in the end. The news of Dongchuan’s defeat has been spread, and the situation in the North Han Dynasty is almost irretrievable. Although Jinyang still has the power to fight, it is just lingering. It is someone else who failed, but it was Jing Wuji himself who laid out the world. It has become a lie, and even his beloved disciples have been defeated by Jiang Zhe. This time, although the power of the Demon Sect is not damaged, it is a complete failure. How can he not let him be moved, and want to see the countless heroes in person. The weak scholar who plays with his hands.

I don’t know that being famous is worse than meeting. When I saw it today, I felt that this young man really deserved a reputation. It was obvious that this young man was suddenly respectful and indulgent. All kinds of changes made him feel unpredictable, but there was only one. This kind of natural taste makes people feel that he is really sincere and sincere, and he has no fear or caution. It was like drinking wine, like a spring breeze. I suddenly realized that I was in a desperate situation. At this moment, Qiu Yufei could fully understand the situation of the Wanfo Temple. At this moment, he gave a sympathetic glance to his beloved disciple. Jing Wuji said: " Today’s reversal encounter is a rare occurrence. The prince of Chu has a lot of affection for my demon sect. I must have something to say to this seat, right?"

I said lightly: "Since the lord has said this, Zhe dare not conceal it. If Zhe is malicious to the demon sect, he will never let go of the lord's first disciple, Duan Lingxiao, the eldest son of Duan, that day we were still hostile, and The outcome is uncertain, so Zhe didn’t say much. Today the suzerain came to talk about it. In fact, the suzerain didn’t say anything. When Jinyang is encircled, Zhe will also ask Brother Yufei to introduce him."

Jing Wuji said coldly: "You want to persuade you to surrender, don't you?"

I lightly said, "What kind of person is the lord, how can I bend my knees and please surrender? The word persuasion is no longer mentioned. Zhe is only a suggestion made by the emperor. Once Jinyang is encircled, it will be the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty. After the defeat of the former suzerain Zhongyuan, he escaped into the North. The emperor only hoped that the suzerain would not go to the South Chu after the Northern Han Dynasty."

Jing Wuji thoughtfully said: "The meaning of Emperor Yong, Jing understands that the opportunity for the unification of the world has already appeared. If Jing has gone to Southern Chu, for Emperor Yong there will be a solution, but it is inevitable. It’s too much trouble."

I laughed and said: "In fact, it doesn’t matter if we don’t talk about this condition. What kind of person is the sovereign. The Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty is still known as wise and respects the lord. This won the lord’s favor. The Southern Chu folkways are weak and the monarch is weak. How can you be worthy of living in the Phoenix? As long as the Sect Master agrees, Da Yong thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, let the Sect Master come and go, once the Demon Sect disciples are disarmed and retired, they will not be treated as the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty, although the Bai Daozhong people may be against the Sect Master Don’t forgive me, but the disciples of the Demon Sect, all heroes and heroes, how can they be wary of this. The world is unified, and the suzerain will have a leisurely and relaxed life."

Jing Wuji's eyes flashed fiercely, saying: "The conditions are very generous, but you also said that the Lord treats my Demon Sect not badly, and Jing is not talented. How can I abandon the Lord and countless soldiers at this time. When I see you today, I just want to see Mr. Jiang’s demeanor. As for what I have just talked about, I have already expected that you have something to say, so I told you to make it clear that it’s just because today is the difference, and the next day is life and death. See you, I don’t want to use Yufei’s love for your confidant when the Yongjun soldiers are approaching the city. Do you really think that you will be greedy and fearful of death?"

I had anticipated that Jing Wuji would say this, and Su Rong said: "This statement is really from Jiang's heart. Jiang and the emperor have repeatedly passed on secretly and talked about the demon sect. The emperor's common saying, the sovereign and Feng Yi The masters of the sect were all masters of the first generation, and the disciples of Fengyi only knew that they were making waves in the dynasty and the harem. They were not like the disciples of the Demon Sect, in exchange for glory and fame. Although the master was defeated that day, the master of Fengyi is far better than the master of Fengyi today. The demon sect disciple will not abandon the same robe. This is something the emperor had expected. Even so, he still has this suggestion, because the emperor really took a different look at the demon sect disciple. Today’s words, just ask the sovereign to keep in mind, today Once you don’t, you can fight as you go. The emperor will not be resentful. No matter when it comes, this suggestion will not fail."

Jing Wuji couldn’t help but feel moved when he heard this. This time he suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to meet Jiang Zhe, and he blocked the meeting like this. Now I don’t know if I am fortunate or regret it. I heard Emperor Yong like this. The kindness can’t help being tempted, let alone the demon sect disciples, once they have a retreat ~ IndoMTL.com~ Will they fight to the death, or such a difference will change the destiny of the North Han Dynasty, but in any case, Jing Wuji also has a hint in his heart. Thankfully, the Demon Sect will not completely die out because of offending the Yong Ting, who may dominate the world. This is the best news he has heard.

Thinking of this, Jing Wuji slowly closed his eyes and said: "It's not early, Mr. Jiang should be on the road, Yufei will play a song to see off Master Hou."

Qiu Yufei led the command in a low voice, walked to the corner of the tabernacle, put the "washing dust" Aegean on her lap, moved his fingers lightly, the Qingyue piano sounded, the artistic conception was clear and wide, and all sorts of sadness turned into the sky Smoke cloud.

I got up and hit the ground. I met today and I have achieved my goal. It should also be the time to say goodbye. I walked out of the camp and put on my silk shoes. I won’t go back this time. Xiao Shunzi helped me. I quickly returned to the carriage, and Hu Yanshou gave an order, and the five thousand cavalry quickly went north without any intention of staying.

Walking straight out for thirty miles, I suddenly thought how I didn’t even have the idea of ​​besieging Jing Wuji, although if I did this, it would inevitably suffer a heavy loss, and it would be possible to take my own life in, but I It's not that I gave up after thoughtful thinking and felt that the chance of winning is not great, but that there was no malicious murderous intent at all. It suddenly occurred in my heart that the Demon Sect is indeed the current hero, and the power that is vaguely visible in his behavior and speech has made my heart broken. Such a character, How could it be comparable to Fengyi's sect master, thinking that if the two of them had a battle today, the master of the demon sect would have to win. Can't help but look at Xiao Shunzi, will he also be affected by suppression? Wouldn't it hurt his cultivation? Unexpectedly, when I saw it, Xiao Shunzi's face was faint, and there was deep insight in his silence. It seems that his cultivation has not been damaged, but he has made some progress. I feel relieved. To the green and green wheat on both sides of the road, smiled contentedly.
