Outside the pavilion, after the orange-red sunset spread, the shadows on the ground were the reflections of scattered flowers and branches. As Geshan asked this question, the reflections became longer and longer, and the sunset gradually dimmed. Bai Hao did not speak.
As soon as the evening breeze blew, Geshan, who remembered that his back was soaked in cold sweat, woke up in a start and was about to take the initiative to leave. At this moment, Bai Hao turned around and said with an indifferent expression: "What do you want to know?"
Geshan's expression froze, he stood up straight and pondered for a moment before saying, "My subordinates have no intention of testing, but even if the city defense army and personal guards are arrayed here, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop the masters of Hidden Valley."
Bai Hao lowered his jaw slightly: "Actually, Murong Xiu Ming was right about one thing. There are many top masters in Hidden Valley. One more master like Suzaku will be a huge crisis for our City Lord's Mansion."
Ge Shan pretended to be more and more confused on his face, and asked solemnly: "Then why don't you continue to ask for help from Baidi City, or defend instead of attack, but... instead take the initiative to provoke the station?"
When Ge Shan said this as a subordinate, it was no longer a criticism but a real accusation, so he knelt down on one knee in the pavilion and said in a deep voice: "City Lord, please think again!"
"Ah."
Bai Hao's eyes fell on Ge Shan's neck and said meaningfully: "It seems you know a lot..."
Geshan opened his mouth and buried his head lower: "The city lord's subordinates have been carrying out the orders seriously, but sometimes they can't help but think about what the city lord wants to do?"
"What is it?" Bai Hao turned to look at the dimming evening scene outside the courtyard, not surprised that Geshan and the others would guess something.
He just doesn't care.
Ge Shan raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Some people on that list have committed crimes. Even if they are punished for their crimes, it is difficult for them to be decapitated, let alone beheading the whole family?"
Having said this, Geshan's tone calmed down: "Even if the city lord wants to shock people's hearts with thunder, there should be a limit. I also met the city lord Xiong San today. He is an ambitious man who wants to go up. A person who climbs, if you give him rights, he can do very well, but he also has a grudge."
"Well, you mean the Xiong family..." Bai Hao suddenly turned his head and looked towards the east side courtyard. Geshan also heard some movement at this time, and there was a faint female voice coming.
Bai Hao said: "Compared to Xiong San, I want to know whether you two, as our right-hand men, have any grudge against me."
The emotion in Geshan's eyes quickly disappeared, and he replied solemnly: "This subordinate has no family, no worries, and no conflict with the city lord."
"What about him?" Bai Hao asked calmly, looking towards the remote east, as if he saw the scene inside, "I heard that the woman captured this time had an old relationship with him? Do you know that?"
Ge Shan said: "The woman inside is called Liu Yueshan. She once rescued Miss Chu Chun. This is the information found by Fen Xi."
Bai Hao sighed softly: "Most of Fen Xi's five people died in his hands, so do you think he should be killed?"
Ge Shan raised his head and looked at Bai Hao, and said calmly: "The power of life and death for everyone in the City Lord's Mansion is decided by your Excellency, and my subordinates don't have many opinions."
Bai Hao said: "You have been with him for many years, but you don't intercede for him? Then what do you want? Do you want his current position?"
Ge Shan obviously expected that Bai Hao would ask this question one day, so he acted extremely seriously and said sincerely: "I only want an 'immortal'. And as a leader for many years, I know that Xing Fei is a person who can't hide anything." An emotional person has his purpose written all over his face.”
The coldness on Bai Hao's face did not diminish, and he said with interest: "Your purpose is not difficult at all, but what is his purpose? I have never heard him talk about it."
A trace of trance flashed across Geshan's face, and he recalled: "He wanted to truly protect this land and the people on this land. He is a real soldier, and I am not..."
"So you will gradually replace his position in my heart, but you are right, even if I don't like him anymore, the army still needs him, so even if it is something that is obvious at a glance, I He didn’t pursue it, otherwise he would have been like those people who were exterminated, leaving only a handful of ashes in the fire.”
Bai Hao looked down at Ge Shan coldly, seeing a trace of doubt flashing in Ge Shan's eyes. The condensed coldness in his body finally completely dissipated, and then he slowly answered Ge Shan's first question: "You are right, We alone can't resist the Hidden Valley with its masters."
"However, it is impossible for Hidden Valley to have all the masters. Although they briefly achieved a unified goal, they did not form a rope. If there are only one or two masters like Suzaku, our city lord's mansion can still persist with the help of the large formation. You Maybe it’s not clear, but His Majesty has contacted the Wilderness Ancient Family.”
Wild ancient family...
The doubtful look on Geshan's face was no longer deliberately expressed, but he was really unclear and asked carefully: "This ancient ancient family in the wild..."
Bai Hao narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, looked up at the sky and said softly: "A Murong clan whose cultivation world has declined can stir up a storm in the world through the Hidden Valley, but compared with the ten great masters in the cultivation world, they are nothing. what."
Geshan's breath was slightly suffocated, but he didn't expect to hear such important information at this time. He said in a tight voice: "So, as long as we defend and wait for the people of the Gu family to arrive, maybe Hidden Valley will take the initiative to withdraw. Suzaku City.”
"Ha." Bai Hao chuckled, and heard another meaning in Ge Shan's words. His eyes fell back on him again and said: "You think this is the case, why do you still take the initiative to provoke, right?"
Geshan looked solemn and nodded.
Bai Hao said indifferently: "I think back then, Emperor Wu Zong was so talented and splendid, but he still had to cut off a large piece of flesh in front of the people of the Gu family. The largest spiritual veins of our Mujin Dynasty always had to give 70% to Gu family!”
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ge Shan's mind, and he connected something in history, and said in surprise: "The reason why our army of the Mujin Dynasty is invincible in front of the armies of other countries is because of the method of military formation, and this military formation The core of the method is the strength to move mountains with iron bones. Could it be that this strength of iron bones to move mountains comes from this ancient family in the wild?"
Bai Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded with a hint of admiration: "You are indeed very smart and knowledgeable, get up. That's right, Emperor Wuzong paid a lot to obtain this mental technique and the matching military formation. The price, if it were me...I'm afraid I wouldn't have such courage."
The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became cold. Bai Hao, who realized what he had just said, looked as usual and said softly: "You are my most convenient subordinate now. I can agree to your request just now. As long as I, Bai Hao, If you live even one day, you, Geshan, will never be in danger of your life."
Ge Shan, who had already stood up, quickly knelt down again and said with a moved face: "I don't ask for great wealth, I just want to live a long life in the world and have more city lords to fulfill my destiny."
Although Bai Hao was a man of great wealth, after the armored warriors in the Blood Demon Formation died in Mu Qing's hands, the only one who knew his secret was Cao Jin, whom he could neither control nor threaten. , so he has actually been under a lot of pressure recently.
Although Bai Hao knew that Geshan was also a powerful city, as the saying goes, like knows each other. When Geshan said that he just wanted to survive, Bai Hao believed him a little. After lying in wait for many days in Huagu, Liu Yueshan was captured. In Bai Hao's eyes, Geshan still had no room for maneuver in Hidden Valley.
But in the City Lord's Mansion, he had the ability to kill the opponent at any time.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao looked at Ge Shan with a little more recognition: "As long as you work for me loyally, you will not only live a good life, but your power and status will only get higher and higher."
Ge Shan pretended to be grateful, but he knew that Bai Hao deliberately changed the subject, and when he raised his face, he showed an expression of hesitation.
"It seems you are really afraid of death!" Bai Hao cursed with a smile, slapped the pavilion support with both hands, and asked: "What do you think they are going to do when I ask you to capture Murong Xiu Ming and the others?"
Of course, Ge Shan would not say that this was Bai Hao's test for him. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I always thought that the city lord wanted to threaten Murong Yin with hostages to make Hidden Valley restrained, but that severed hand... It’s more like forcing Hidden Valley and the others to take action quickly.”
"That's right." Bai Hao's tiger eyes flashed with traces of iron blood, pointing to a certain direction in the sky and said: "The ruins of the City Lord's Mansion are still lying there quietly, and the traces of Qingyun Street are still there. This feels like I Are you the kind of person who doesn't fight back? I just want to kill them all at once."
Geshan's throat was dry and he stopped talking: "Is it that big formation..."
Bai Hao nodded and smiled: "It seems that you have indeed guessed a lot of things? Do you know the situation in Baita Temple?"
When Ge Shan said this, he thought that his life or death was already in 50 or 50, but he didn't expect that Bai Hao would trust him more and more, at least that's what he showed.
Ge Shan looked at Bai Hao's warm smile, but wondered if if he said the wrong word next, it would become fertilizer for growing flowers, and Bai Hao would kill him completely.
But his face showed more solemnity and confusion as he said: "My subordinates also accidentally learned that the Nether Flame Formation seemed to extend outward a lot. As for the White Pagoda Temple, wasn't it blocked a long time ago? Could it be that If everything is destroyed, will it affect the Youyan Formation?"
The smile on Bai Hao's face disappeared and he looked at him calmly. After a while, he calmly said: "The Youyan Formation will complete the most proud record since its formation, so you have to bring in all those damn people for me. Coming from the inner city, as for what to do, that’s your business.”
Geshan felt awe in his heart, and his spine trembled as if he had been pierced by an ice pick. His face turned pale and he said, "Even if there are hostages in hand, if it is too obvious, they will not easily break into the range of the formation."
Bai Hao looked indifferent, glanced at him and said, "Aren't there still troops?"
Geshan wanted to speak again, but when he saw the improvement, his eyes showed impatience, and he nodded reluctantly and agreed.
Bai Hao nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Offensive and defensive changes, this is the effect I have always wanted. It only takes such a blow, and it will not cause bleeding in front of the Gu family, but it can also make the old man Murong Yin and There is a rift in the Qingzhuang Sect, so you must complete it for me!"
The dusk was like blood, and by the time Geshan came to his senses, Bai Hao was no longer in the pavilion.
He sighed repeatedly in his heart. Ever since he made that decision that day, what he did has always been a crime in Xing Fei's eyes.
Although he has always insisted on "discussing the heart but not the trace", when facing the increasingly higher numbers in his hands, he still feels guilty and tired, because he understands that more people will die next...
