Chapter 298 Jingxiu Villa
"Remember, you are not the only one who can calculate people."
Xiao Ran wiped the blood stains, walked back to the cabin in cheers, closed the door, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. I have to say that the cooperation of the three is very thorough. First, Jiang Cheng, the "giant tiger", consumed his true spirit, and Qiao Jian, the "phantom hand" sneaked aside, which was just a slow-down, even the hidden weapon issued by Ning Zixuan. The ultimate purpose was to make Xiao Ran lose the ability to judge the other party's movements.
Xiao Ran also saw through it at the moment when the "flash bomb" was thrown out. He simply made a plan and dealt a fatal blow at the last moment when Ning Zixuan thought he had won. Xiao Ran's biggest secret is that he has a power. Although he is similar to chicken ribs, he has inadvertently resolved the crisis many times. Moreover, I have encountered a similar situation at the "Dragon Festival", otherwise there is a real danger of failure.
Xiao Ran seems to win easily on the surface, but in fact he is hurt a lot, but naturally he can't show it in front of the congregation. As a leader, we should create invincible myths and let the followers worship them. After this war, it will have great benefits for both prestige and the attack of Yimen in the future. A moment later, "Nine Ghost Mother" and others hurriedly came.
"Second brother, how is your injury?"
"It's okay. Just rest for a few days. Elder Jiang, send these healing drugs to the three helmsmen and apply them internally and externally to avoid hidden dangers. The old lady was about to leave, but she was stopped by Xiao Ran and said:
"Wait, call the rudder"
"Yes..."
"Young master." Ning Zixuan's face was slightly pale, and it seemed that he had not recovered his vitality. There is no initial arrogance, but more awe.
"Ye, today's/competal strategy is what you came up with. It's very good. After this action, I promise you to go to the "Fangxiang Pavilion" for half a year, and I believe that your future achievements will be more than that.
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he took out a cyan token from his cuff and handed it over. Ning Zixuan's originally worried look was gone, and even his fingers trembled slightly because of excitement. It's not that the Seven Killing Sects will not understand the status of the Incense Pavilion. Just like the "sheli pagoda" of Shaolin Temple, the "true king view" of Wudang School. The incense pavilion is a holy place in the religion, which is dedicated to the masters of all dynasties and people who have made great contributions to the sect. The two elders sit in the town and select talented people and those who have made great contributions to the religious elites every year to guide their martial arts practice. Another unwritten rule is that basically every honest person is selected from the background of the "Fenxiang Pavilion". I don't know how many people dream of it. Xiao Ran's big gift is not thick.
Ning Zixuan took the token and hugged his fists and said, "The young master's great kindness is unforgettable. I would like to follow the master to go through fire and water!"
It can be seen that this is by no means a lie, but a word from the bottom of my heart. You should know that he is more than 40 years old and was born poor. He has achieved his current achievements entirely by his own exploration. The master is willing to waste such a precious opportunity on himself, and he must repay his kindness.
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Remember what you said today. I believe that this patriarch will not look at the wrong person. Go down and have a rest.
After Ning Zixuan left, Xiao Ran sat on the ground, and Yang Fan and the three of them helped him heal at the same time.
The old man is very satisfied with Xiao Ran's treatment. He said to himself, "The young master is becoming more and more like a master." Carrots and sticks to buy people's hearts. A person's strength is not enough. He must have his own confidant in teaching. Although Ning Zixuan's martial arts skills are mediocre, his strategy is indeed obvious to all. The status of "Jiuyin Ghost Mother" is transcendent. After all, she is old. It's not something that can be managed everywhere. Xiao Ran is slowly cultivating him into his own counselor, and he can stand alone in case he is not here.
The next morning, the sun shone through the peaks on the sleeping lake, and the lake under the mist gradually showed a trace of noise in the day. In the heart of the river, a small boat came slowly through the fog. The sentry group rubbed their eyes hard, which was indeed not a hallucination. Just one person and one boat rushed over, didn't the other party see so many ships clearly? Very suspicious.
"Stop, you're welcome to get closer." The sentry followers pointed bows and arrows at humanity.
"The owner of Jingxiu Villa wants to see the "blood knife ancestor", please inform him on his behalf!" Duan Cun was full of energy and sounded like a bell, shouting from the opposite side.
"Go and report it." The archer continued to be vigilant, like a disciple next to him.
"Jingxiu Villa?" Not long after Xiao Ran got up early, he heard someone begging for a meeting and waved his hand and said, "Please!"
He is about 40 years old, with a straight figure and appearance, wearing a blue gown. Seeing Xiao Ran, he couldn't help but be stunned. How could this man get an old nickname when he was young?
"Are you the ancestor of the blood knife?"
"If it's a fake replacement, what's wrong with Master Duan?" Xiao Ran picked up the teacup and said without delay.
"Talk about a business!"
"What business? You should know that these hundreds of mouths are not a small amount of eating and drinking every day. Don't blame your brothers for not giving face for trivial matters.
"I think you will be interested in the business of 100,000 taels of silver!" Duan Cun's thick eyes and smile didn't seem to worry at all that Xiao Ran would refuse. Indeed, 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the annual tax revenue of a county is only a little more than 10,000 taels. It seems very tricky to be able to take out 100,000 taels to do things for yourself. Of course, I don't mind making a ticket if there is a good thing to send to your door.
"It's really tempting. On the premise of not violating the morality of the world, I think we can talk about this business. Let's talk about the conditions." Xiao Ran crossed his fingers and thought for a moment.
"Brother Zhao is cheerful, and I won't beat around the bush. Duan roughly estimated about 500 people under Brother Zhao and wanted to ask Brother Zhao to help deal with a big enemy: the Huayi Gate of the Yang River!"
"Hide the door!" Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly changed, and then he recovered as usual. Unexpectedly, it is consistent with my purpose this time.
"Why, Brother Zhao knows Huayi Gate?" Duan Cunhou looked uncertain and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ye, I've heard that Huayimen is a branch of the magic school, and its strength is not bad. I don't know how Brother Duan got into trouble with them. Xiao Ran asked with an unmoving look. The less you can do more than a force for the alliance, why not do it? Duan Cunhou repeated the whole thing with a well-prepared explanation.
"It's a matter of great importance. Let me consider replying to Brother Duan. Please take a break here." Of course, you have to agree to the good thing sent to your door, but if you reply so easily, it is inevitable that people will guess that there are tricks in it.
"Come here and gather five helmsmen and Elder Jiang to discuss here."
"Yes..."
With no time for half a column of incense, Yangfan and others arrived one by one. Xiao Ran said bluntly, "I suddenly called a few people to come here, hoping it won't be too abrupt. There is good news about this attack on Huayimen. Jingxiu Villa is located along the Yang River. Recently, there have been continuous struggles in the Yangtze River Basin. Huayimen wants to take advantage of this... I don't know what opinions you have on this matter.
After yesterday's competition, Xiao Ran has already conquered the followers. This kind of decision-making event can be completely decided by himself. Now he still invites people to discuss, which invisibly adds some goodwill. Who doesn't want to be valued by the leader?
"According to the spies, there is indeed a Jingxiu Villa along the Yang River. Zhuangzhu Duan Cunhou used to be a disciple of Wudang, and it is likely that he came to contact us after hearing the news. Generally speaking, he should first find the Qinglong Gang who has made friends with the five major factions. How can he find help from those who don't know the details? This matter is worth pondering." "Phantom hand" Qiao Jian said.
"I'll fight sooner or later, and don't waste 100,000 taels of silver. Brothers haven't smelled meat for many days, and a bird has faded out of their mouths. Jiang Cheng said in a loud voice.
The old man stared at him and said, "Don't be presumptuous in front of the master."
"It doesn't matter, Jiang Luzhuo has this kind of character. What do the others think?
"Jingxiu Villa wants to use our strength to help him guard the Zhuangzi. We can also use his forces to delay some masters and capture the king first." A man with thick eyebrows said. Xue Ling and Yang Fan are just guests invited by Xiao Ran to help. Naturally, it is not easy to interrupt and are not idle on the side. Xiao Ran taps his finger on the table and frowned slightly to listen to everyone's opinions.
It seemed that Xiao Ran was observing himself, and Ning Zixuan, who had been speechless, nodded slightly. He said, "Actually, the whole thing is not difficult! As the military book says, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. At least there is no conflict of interest between the two sides now. Crossing the "nine-curve chain" is bound to be found by the other party. If there is no internal support, it is likely to suffer heavy losses before reaching the waterlogging river. In order to cover up the purpose, we must also cooperate with each other. In addition to the 500 people accompanying this time, the master also installed secret weapons on this main ship. The specifics can't be revealed yet, but Ning dares to take the head of the item to guarantee that even if there is no support from any force, it is enough to recover Huayimen.
