The story is divided into two parts. What actions Shuang Hehe and Linghu Xiang performed in the toilet will be revealed later in the article. Let’s talk about Xiao Zhun’s side first.
Master Xiao has been planning today's big plan for a long time, so he already knows the timetable of the action.
At Chen time in the morning, the village is opened to welcome guests.
At noon, the villa is closed.
At three quarters of noon, there was a sword discussion in the school. During this period, based on the performance of the guests during the sword discussion, at least forty-nine swordsmen with high sword skills or potential were personally identified as the targets of the "sword sacrifice".
At the end of the day, if everything goes well, Xiao Zhun should have completed the "selection" by this time, which means that the time is ripe for action...
Then, he invited all the swordsmen he had "favored" to come on stage one by one and come to the middle of the school field.
When all these people are in place, Xiao Zhun will give an order: on the one hand, let the Fire Lotus Master perform a method to suppress some enemies in a specific area; on the other hand, let the approximately 150 people guarding around the school grounds The guests of Wujian Villa launched the "Ten Thousand Swords Return Formation" and massacred the hundreds of guests.
When you see this, some people may want to ask, can one win if 150 people fight 800 people?
Let me put it this way...the odds of winning are not only good, but very good.
Think about it, who are the one hundred and fifty swordsmen at Wujian Villa? Those are all "elites" who have been personally coached by Xiao Zhun. If you pick one of them at random, they will have second-rate or above strength. Moreover, they also have the blessing of "formation" to integrate the combat power of many people into a whole. , the power is doubled.
And what about the more than 800 "swordsmen" who come to discuss swords? More than half of them are bastards who have never touched a sword half a month ago. Among the remaining half, there are also miscellaneous fish groups like the "Huizhou Five Righteousness" and the "Longkou Sword Sect" - a ragtag group of people, a mess, and a face. For an organized surprise attack, a quarter of them would die before they even reacted.
Of course, nothing is absolute... Before the real battle breaks out, no one can be sure that those visitors will be defeated.
What if those people withstood the offensive and killed the disciples of Wujian Villa?
In this case, our "exhaustive strategy" owner Xiao Zhuang naturally also included it, and his answer is: not important.
Whoever fights among these people can win in the end, as long as their fighting buys time for him to kill the forty-nine "sacrifice".
With the "Blood Sword Fetus" in hand and the help of Lord Fire Lotus, Xiao Zhun is fully confident that he can take down the forty-nine people in the school before the hundreds of people can decide the winner. "Sword" appears, "Sword Demon" becomes, who else in the world is his opponent? He was no longer afraid if everyone present came together.
But... plans are plans, and accidents are accidents.
It would be abnormal for such a big plan to not have some accidents, and there are three accidents that are currently unfavorable to Xiao Zhun and that concern him -
First, I heard the appearance of Yuzhai.
Five years ago, when Xiao Zhun had a falling out with his son because of "something", he had dealt with this young man from the thatched cottage. Although Mr. Wen was on Xiao Zhun's side that time, Xiao Zhun did not take him seriously. On the contrary, Xiao Zhun felt strongly that this was a "dangerous" person, someone who could pose a threat to him... Therefore, when he was engaging in such a big conspiracy this time, Wen Yuzhai suddenly appeared , and having a master like Haicangfeng by his side would naturally make Xiao Zhun fearful.
Second, Xiao Xuan’s return.
This is easy to understand: Although Xiao Xuan unilaterally gave up his identity as the young master of Wujian Villa, changed his name, and surrendered, but from Xiao Zhun's perspective, a son is a son, and if you have the right to eat a tiger's poison, you will not eat it. No matter how much Xiao Zhun despises other people's lives, he will never take action against his own son; and what worries Xiao Zhun even more is that Xiao Xuan had a falling out not only with himself but also with Wen Yuzhai, but now these two people actually They travel together and come to the village together. What is the reason behind this? Could it be that they came together to ruin my big event?
Third, Dugu Yong.
Xiao Zhun has always heard about this young master of the Jinling Sword King's Mansion. There are also many people in his Wujian Villa who have seen or learned Duguyong's sword skills, but... Xiao Zhun has never seen him himself.
In terms of talent and background, if Duguyong were ten years younger, he would probably be often compared with Xiao Xuan back then. If Duguyong was ten years older, his 80th grade would be compared with Xiao Zhun himself. Compared.
The swordsman's intuition told Xiao Zhun that this person was a rare opponent, but... he was not suitable to appear here and now.
Because he is too strong, so strong that it is possible to ruin Xiao Zhun's plan.
Xiao Zhun indeed did not expect that someone of Dugu Yong's level would come to participate in such a conference under the guise of "recruiting disciples."
It stands to reason that if Dugu Yong really comes, he should be "invited" in the same way as Song Wudi, Wang Shilian, Jiang Shouzheng, and Di Bujue... as a "special invitation". Who would have thought that he would actually come? Just like those rabble, he came here with a sword and talked to himself, and he was not afraid of being pointed out.
Fortunately...this "accident" was not only bad but also good.
For Xiao Zhun, the "good" surprise was that Song Wudi let him go and didn't come.
What's going on?
It's nothing, but after Songzhuangzhu received Xiao Zhun's letter, he felt that it was a bit inconsistent for him, a knife player, to be a witness in this "sword discussion" conference, and he and Xiao Zhun had never had any friendship. I have never had any intention of making friends, so there is no need to go all the way to sell this favor.
Therefore, after Song Wudi thought about it for a while, he wrote a reply to Xiao Zhun, saying a few polite words to the other party in the letter, and also said something about the situation, such as "I have been caught in the cold recently and the affairs in the village are busy." The son declined.
In addition, the owner of Song Village was also careful. He deliberately delayed sending this reply until there were five days left before the sword debate. In this way...according to the speed of Feige Gang's letter delivery, the letter was delivered. By the time, there were only one or two days left before the sword discussion.
Considering that Shengdao Villa is in Liaodong and Wujian Villa is in Lingnan, even if Villa Master Xiao immediately writes a letter to invite them a second time, Villa Master Song will not be able to arrive in time.
This... is called Lao Jianghu, doing things without leakage.
What? What would you do if Xiao Zhun asked Song Wudi why he took so many days to reply? It's very simple... Didn't I say it in the letter, because I'm sick and busy with work - your excuse can also be used as an excuse for my slow reply. What else do I have to ask?
Besides, Xiao Zhun is not an idiot. After seeing replies like "I went to take a shower" and "I went to sleep", would he send another message like "Did you really go?"?
To put it simply, Xiao Zhun was a little unhappy when Master Song let the pigeon fly, but due to the appearance of Dugu Yong, it became a good thing again.
Because the "means" that Xiao Zhun originally planned to use on Song, Wang, and Di (Jiang Shouzheng was too weak to be taken seriously by Xiao Zhun), now there is a vacancy, which can be used by Dugu Yong.
However... this time, Xiao Zhun was wishful thinking again.
On the morning of the sword discussion, most of the swordsmen entered the villa at chen o'clock. These hundreds of people were arranged in several small buildings in the villa before 3:00 noon, and were served with the above-mentioned tea, wine, and food. After all, they may have to compete on the school field soon, so they can't be too hungry.
Wang Shilian, Di Bujue, and Jiang Shouzheng, as well as the Wudang disciples, Caobang disciples, and followers they brought with them... all arrived a day or two in advance because they were "invited" They are distinguished guests, so they don’t need to wait until the day of the sword competition to enter the village. Instead, they check in to the village in advance. While waiting for the sword competition, there is also a seat “specially arranged for them” by the stage.
According to Xiao Zhun's original intention, as soon as Duguyong arrived today, he would personally contact him, treat him with great courtesy, persuade him with clever words, and invite him to the position originally given to Song Wudi.
Unexpectedly, Duguyong didn't show up all morning, and didn't show up until a short time before closing time.
When Xiao Zhun received the news that Dugu Yong had entered the village, there was not much time left before the sword discussion conference started. The three distinguished guests had already taken their seats and the crowd had gathered around the school grounds. Xiao Zhun did not have the time to persuade Dugu Yong. , I have no choice but to give up.
In a blink of an eye, three quarters of noon has arrived.
Xiao Zhun set foot on the school field on time.
This school grounds is surrounded by mountains and covers a vast area.
For this sword debate today, a wooden platform slightly higher than the ground was set up on the north side of the school grounds. Three large tiger-skin chairs were placed on the platform. The three "witnesses" of the sword debate, Wang, Di and Jiang, were sitting on the platform. On the stage, a group of disciples they brought stood around the stage.
The east, west, and south sides of the school field are all slightly higher than the school field, just like the stands. At this time, these three sides are also surrounded by heroes, and the crowd is staring at the center of the school field.
"Heroes, I'm Xiao Zhun, please be polite here." A master of Xiao Zhun's level can easily be heard by everyone present as long as he speaks with a little inner strength.
When the surrounding guests saw Master Xiao greeting them, they responded one after another with replies like "I've met Master Xiao."
Anyway, this is the way to go... Remember, the more miscellaneous a person is, the more he likes to push forward and the louder his voice.
Those who are really capable are still very calm at this time, just watching silently, because they all know that just "rushing in front to leave more impression on Xiao Zhun when saying hello" will not be helpful to the final result. ...If you want to win in this sword debate, you must rely on the "sword skills" in your hands or the "sword theory" in your heart. Everything else is useless.
Of course, they didn't know at this moment that it was all in vain, because Xiao Zhun had no intention of recruiting any closed disciples.
"Thanks to all of you, I would like to come to Wujian Villa to discuss sword skills and learn from each other..." Xiao Zhun waited until the crowd's voices became softer before continuing, "Today, Xiao has the honor to invite Zhenren Wang from the Wudang Sect. 'Dazhong Zhizheng' Jiang Daxia and Cao Gang Leader Di are here to bear witness to this sword discussion conference. This is also an honor for our villa..."
Xiao Zhun still had to say something about a scene like this. Even if he later planned to kill 90% of the people present, he still had to make his words sound and play his tricks right now.
As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles and half a mile... The more the plan is about to be completed, the more attention must be paid to the details. Don't be careless. If he is anxious at this time and makes many words and deeds that make people look abnormal, Otherwise, everything will be lost.
but……
"Stop being verbose and tell me how to discuss it quickly. I'm tired of waiting."
On the school field, Xiao Zhun had not finished reciting his "opening speech" when someone in the crowd also used his inner strength to make a complaint that could be heard by the entire audience.
Can ordinary people do this?
It would have to be a guy like Duguyong who doesn't have enough skills to do it.
There are many types of people in this world who deserve to be fucked. Some are because they are mean, some are because they are reckless, and some are...harmful. I can't go on and on. There are many types of people, such as treacherous, lazy, greedy, slippery, and bad.
As for Dugu Yong, it was probably because of the word "crazy".
You can say that he only pursues the art of swordsmanship, so he does not value worldly etiquette, lacks empathy, and has low emotional intelligence.
But a person who can always have such a low emotional intelligence and still live well in the world... must rely on strength.
Besides, he just has a low EQ, not a low IQ. He knows very well that the reason why he can "be himself" like this all year round depends on his strength, and he still chooses to stay like this, which shows that he is still a " The word "crazy".
At this moment, perhaps 80% of the people present were like Dugu Yong, wanting Xiao Zhun to stop talking and get to the point quickly, but who was as "crazy" as him and dared to say this directly?
"Ha..." After a breath, Xiao Zhun in the school field smiled.
This is not a sneer, but happiness from the heart.
At this moment, the swordsman's blood made him ready to move and made him extremely excited.
So, he laughs.
At this moment, Xiao Zhun, who had always calculated carefully, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to deal with Dugu Yong's "accident" at the beginning of the sword discussion.
So, he laughs.
Although Xiao Zhun did not expect that Dugu Yong would be so crazy and dare to interrupt him unceremoniously on such an occasion, but since the other party has already behaved like this, Xiao Zhun can take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. …
"If I'm not mistaken... the friend who is speaking is Young Master Dugu of Jinling Sword King's Palace, right?" Of course Xiao Zhun was not mistaken. He had been staring at others for a long time.
"That's me." Dugu Yong replied without even thinking.
"Okay." Xiao Zhun nodded and continued in a deep voice, "'The Defeating Dragon Sword' is famous in the world, and Xiao has also heard about it..."
When he said this, all the heroes present had already turned to look at Dugu Yong, and those standing beside Dugu Yong had also consciously stepped back a few steps, away from this prickly head.
"Since Brother Dugu you are so anxious..." Xiao Zhun continued in a very casual tone, "Why don't you come up and talk to Xiao now, and after we finish talking about it, Xiao will continue talking about swords with everyone. matter."
"Heh..." Hearing this, Dugu Yong also smiled, and his response was also predictable, "I couldn't ask for more."
