The enemy reacted very quickly and was able to respond like this in such a short period of time. If nothing else, at least he had courage. This man is not an indecisive person.
The real masked man suddenly broke in, which naturally made Sima Yi, who was pretending to be a masked man on the stage, nervous. As for Sun Quan in the audience, although he was caught off guard at this time, he was more excited than nervous, a kind of excitement that couldn't help itching.
The mastermind behind the scenes appeared so blatantly. Even if there were many masters around him, it shouldn't be difficult for Sun Quan to kill people with his peerless martial arts and a hand of cards.
So, take action? Try it in the fantasy world first?
After careful consideration, Sun Quan finally suppressed his impulse and gave up taking action.
If he takes action now, even if he succeeds, it will only kill one person. Not to mention the aftermath, in such a big situation, there is only one enemy? The result of trying to scare the enemy away will only be to make the enemies who have not yet appeared hide themselves deeper. In the next few decades, there is no guarantee that something will happen, and it will be far less than Sun Quan's original expectation of killing them all in one fell swoop.
Secondly, the reason why the masked man is a masked man is that he is cautious. In today's conference, he had no intention of showing up and planned to continue hiding behind the scenes. Looking at it this way, doesn't the masked man's courage at this moment contradict his natural caution?
Therefore, Sun Quan has every reason to doubt whether he is the real person or a substitute under this mask!
The mask may just be a symbol. Whoever puts on the mask is the masked man. The difference lies in who is pushed to the front.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan immediately made a plan in his mind. Since you use a mask to replace your identity, I'll use a mask to replace your identity.
"Ghost Valley Mask!"
This is a term that Sun Quan came up with on the spur of the moment.
And Sima Yi was indeed a humanoid mind reader, and he instantly understood Sun Quan’s intentions and cooperated,
"Are you also the holder of Guigu Mask?"
"Guigu Mask?" No, someone immediately became interested.
So Sun Quan kindly explained to these people,
"As we all know, the late master of my Sun family, Sun Bin, came from Guiguzi's sect. Guiguzi's major disciples: Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Pang Juan, and Sun Bin were all famous people in the world who achieved great achievements at that time. And the ending of each of them, I believe, is very interesting to everyone here. It’s clear. To this day, it can be said that Guigu’s orthodoxy is in my Sun family!”
"For a long time, the world only knows that my Sun family has "Sun Tzu's Art of War". What everyone doesn't know is that our Sun family has always shouldered the important task of inheriting the Gui Valley. The Sun family has studied the Art of War from generation to generation, but the Gui Valley inheritance is very complicated. We We can't let these treasures remain in the dust forever. So, there is a group of people like this." Sun Quan glanced at the two masked men, "Although they are not the Sun family, they have inherited the Ghost Valley and have an inseparable relationship with my Sun family. .”
Strategist!
This was everyone's first reaction, and of course it was Sun Quan's deliberate reaction to guide them. Although there are some people who practice metaphysics in Guiguzi's inheritance, the most famous one is Zonghengshu. The Sun family themselves firmly hold on to the art of war, and the remaining ones are willing to be handed over to outsiders. What else can it be if it's not the art of vertical and horizontal tactics?
In peaceful times, there may be no market for strategists, but in troubled times, it will be different. This makes people wonder whether, in addition to their military strength, the Sun family has also had these political advisers helping them behind the scenes.
Take this unknown masked man in Hanzhong as an example. When Sun Ce first settled in Bashu, he was indispensable for his behind-the-scenes efforts. Those who betrayed Liu Zhang were all recruited by this person in secret.
"So, this Guigu mask is not only a symbol of identity, but it is also an act of helplessness. Once the true identity is exposed, it may cause endless trouble. Today they are showing this to others, and it is by no means disrespectful to everyone. I hope everyone present Please bear with me." Sun Quan cupped his fists as a gesture.
On the stage, Sima Yi shed a cold sweat and said secretly: Your Highness, King Wu, what you did is not authentic!
At first, everyone didn't think much about it, but Sun Quan deliberately said this. Now, isn't this specifically to arouse people's curiosity about their identities? Sun Quan was not implying that the reason why they wore masks was because they still had an identity that they could not reveal to others.
No name, no surname,
Are you afraid of being recognized? Maybe it’s someone around you!
Moreover, it is a crime to possess a jade. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has already attracted the attention of many people to the Sun family. The Guigu inheritance, from a certain perspective, is even more coveted than Sun Tzu's Art of War!
The Sun family was so powerful that no one would dare to do anything to them even if they were showing off in public with the imperial seal. But what about these so-called masked men? Will it be easier to start?
Sima Yi could already imagine his future situation and wished he could immediately take off the mask on his face and smash it into pieces. But, not right now. At least this time, no one can know that it is Sima Yi behind the mask!
"Okay, we are all our own people, let's continue the topic just now." The masked man suddenly broke in and was taken over by Sun Quan. Sun Quan almost ignored him and continued to preside over the rebellion meeting that he had occupied. ,
"Sun Ce's second biggest crime: killing famous people in Jingzhou."
······
That night,
In a manor on the outskirts of the city, noble carriages were blocked outside the door of the manor. It was late at night, but it was as lively as a market.
"Fa Zheng asks to see King Wu!"
The greeting invitation was presented. After a while, the servant came back.
"not see."
"Zhang Song asks to see the King of Wu!"
The greeting card is presented, still,
"not see."
"Wu Lan asks to see the King of Wu!"
"not see."
On this day, all the officials in Hanzhong City, big and small, came to meet Sun Quan, but Sun Quan stayed in the manor behind closed doors and saw no one.
Shouchi,
In the main room, only Sun Quan and Sima Yi were left.
"My lord, I have something that I don't understand." Sima Yi finally found the opportunity to ask. At that time, Sun Quan threw such a big black pot at him. Sima Yi was hit all over him even if he didn't want it. And the masked man could obviously hide, so why didn't he answer it without saying a word? Are you down yet?
"In that situation, if he had denied that the mask was just a coincidence and that he didn't know the Guigu Mask, what would have been the result?" Sun Quan asked in return.
"Many people don't believe it, thinking he is unwilling to admit it?" Sima Yi speculated, "But as long as he bites him to death, there is nothing others can do to him."
"There is nothing we can do against him, but there is no reason for him to keep wearing a mask and talking." At that time, as long as Sun Quan followed the rhythm, the masked man would be in trouble, "I said that, not only to protect you, but also to protect him. He is naturally willing to follow my wishes."
"Of course, this is just one of them." Sun Quan continued, "The reason why the masked man appeared at the risk of exposing his identity was to be the first to contact me. He didn't want me to meet anyone else in Hanzhong. He acquiesced. The identity I gave him would allow him to pick us up after the conference. That's why he didn't cause any trouble at the conference, otherwise, we wouldn't be here."
"No wonder! My lord has been in Hanzhong for so long, but no one has come to see me. It turns out that I was stopped." Sima Yi said in a low voice, "So my lord, are we under house arrest?"
Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with pity,
"You are under house arrest, but I am not."
He wanted to leave, but no one could stop him.
