There is an inn in the southwest state capital.
As Qin Fan received the information from the token, he was always a little absent-minded. Even when he continued to play chess with Yu Cangmiao, he won the game cleanly because of his trance.
Although Yu Cangmiao noticed that something was wrong with Qin Fan's state, she didn't ask any more questions and just took advantage of this opportunity to prepare to beat up the drowned dog.
Seeing Yu Cangmiao quickly put the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess jar and signaled for another game, Qin Fan raised his eyes and said with a hint of helplessness:
"Is this interesting?"
"It's certainly interesting to win so easily in the hands of senior brother."
At this moment, Qin Fan and Yu Cangmiao were the only two people left in the room.
Li Shizhou was disturbed by the news that the woman who was in charge of the Xie family in Zinong was Qi Canqing's only beloved disciple, Gu Yinzhu.
Then he decided to retreat decisively and concentrate on digesting the energy in Long Yuan.
Therefore, Yu Cangmiao felt less scrupulous when speaking.
Faced with Yu Cangmiao's competitive spirit, Qin Fan pushed the chess jar aside and said:
"No more, I just received some very interesting news."
"What is it?"
Then Qin Fan told Ying Wuque what he saw and heard truthfully. Even if he did not disclose the information, it is estimated that Yu Cangmiao will get the same information from Yu Gucheng today or tomorrow.
For Qin Fan, discussing with Yu Cangmiao in advance can also make corresponding preparations earlier.
After hearing this, Yu Cangmiao understood why Qin Fan was uneasy. After all, he was one of the few people in the world who knew that Qin Fan was motivated to compete for hegemony with other forces, but when facing King Wuwei, he was purely selfish and innocent. They want to strangle each other to death.
Counting now, seven months have passed since Qin Fan's last revenge, which was when he killed Mo Yunlan.
Once this seed of hatred is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish it, and with the power Qin Fan now has, it is already a very restrained thing to not launch an all-out death battle against the Wuwei Palace.
Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Because King Wuwei was coming to the southwest state capital, the eight major armies that he feared were no longer there. Even though there was a mysterious Wuwang Pavilion, in terms of geographical advantages, our side had an absolute advantage.
So this time, whether for public or private reasons, Qin Fan will definitely take action.
"It's just that I can't figure it out. Why did Bi Po Qiong do this? After provoking us, he went to challenge King Wuwei again. I thought this Southwest Alliance had some basis of trust..." Yu Cangmiao touched his chin, meaning He pointed at Qin Fan.
It wasn't that he really couldn't figure it out. He deliberately brought the topic to Bi Po Qiong to test whether Qin Fan's attitude was calm enough.
While Qin Fan was playing with the black chess pieces in the chess jar, he said:
"After breaking through the opponent's ambush outside Lingjue Mountain from the front, cracks have already appeared in this alliance. Especially the act of killing Xie Xiaoren alone has caused the Zi Nong Xie family, which was already at a disadvantage, to lose its reluctance. Equal opportunity.
Don’t forget, the so-called alliance means that when the difference in comprehensive strength between the two sides is not large, they can make steady progress toward the same goal through mutual checks and balances. Once there is an imbalance in strength, the strong will take advantage of the weak.
Obviously, as powerful men, Fotu and Wuwei Wangfu, the primary goal is not the southwest state capital, but the Shaohou Army to eliminate the northwest state capital.
Baihutang and Zi Nong Xie are just cannon fodder launched to attract our attention. Their results are destined to fail, and their tenacious efforts are just consuming the vitality of the ghost market.
This is not difficult to explain why Shangguan Jinhong gave up the hatred accumulated over the years due to the war between good and evil, and turned to the Buddha's land.
Only in this way can he gain a chance of survival, but it is obvious that he failed.
However, the Xie family of Zi Nong has embarked on another lonely and sad road of destruction.
As for Bi Po Qiong, it is not suitable for people like us to speculate on his thoughts at present, because this will only make us come up with a bunch of incredible calculations, and then waste a lot of time in vain. "
Having said this, Qin Fan rubbed his brows with a headache.
In terms of nature, he and Yu Cangmiao both belong to Lao Yinbi's level. Their thinking fields are like matryoshka dolls, calculating each other's next level, and then crushing them with higher levels.
Facing some lunatics who don't play according to common sense, it is not suitable to use this thinking to deduce the other party's thoughts.
After all, these days, it is not possible to rule out the possibility that you may see me standing on the ninth floor, but in fact, I have always been standing on the first floor.
And because of too many calculations, there will be unnecessary scruples, which will lead to a delay in taking action. Instead, the opponent will accidentally hit and make him feel sick.
So at this moment, Qin Fan no longer thinks about why Bi Poqiong went crazy and gave his head to them first, and then to King Wuwei, for a man who had cut off family ties, love, friendship, master-disciple affection, and master-sect affection.
A lunatic who doesn't have many ties but does whatever he wants.
If that's the case, why bother taking the other person's place and trying to figure out what they think.
Of course, Qin Fan agreed with Yu Cangmiao's initial guess that the purpose of sending the head was simply to ask for the sword.
Nowadays, the only thing that can make Bi Po Qiong care about is the peak of martial arts, so provoking in this way and challenging his opponent to help him climb to a higher peak of martial arts is in line with his current state.
In short, Bi Po Qiong is no longer Qin Fan's main target.
He will definitely go to Lingjue Mountain, because King Wuwei will also go.
Yu Cangmiao, who understood Qin Fan's thoughts, nodded slightly and said:
"Senior brother hasn't lost his cool yet, that's good.
In the news just now, the second doubt point to be discussed is the strength of King Wuwei.
He can crush the inanimate sword energy with one punch, which is not too much beyond our expectations, but the key is that his punching technique is so weird that he can freeze the invisible sword energy into tangible sword light.
In particular, the cold air emitted by his fist did not hurt anyone else in the hall.
When the power of the fist was dissipated, the decoration of the entire hall was not damaged at all, which proved that it was the strong who crushed the weak that could control it so perfectly.
Then, based on the strength of the 'Ding' in the Ten Heavenly Stems that appeared later, that is, the owner of Xuanwu Tower, Jellyfish Yinji, we made guesses and comparisons.
The Lords of the Four Symbols of the Stars are probably on the same level. Even Zhu Wuyan, who died young, could have reached the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in one fell swoop based on his previous knowledge in this era. Therefore, it can be speculated that Jellyfish Yinji is also in this realm.
According to this estimate, King Wuwei should have touched the Dharma Realm, and is likely to have a field that can compete with the Dharma Realm.
Otherwise, how could he suppress 'A', 'B', and 'C' who were stronger than 'D'. "
Qin Fan thought for a moment and said:
"I understand what you mean. If you want to ambush King Wuwei, you must prepare at least three people with the same combat power as him. It just so happens that we can barely satisfy it here."
Yu Cangmiao watched Qin Fan point at herself, then pointed at the next room, and then said helplessly:
"That little Marquis is no good. It's not appropriate to drag me down with such a big thing."
"I'm not referring to Li Shizhou, his condition is unstable, and we have to face Bi Po Qiong.
As for dragging you into the water, that's a bit over the top.
Don’t forget, our little junior sister first appeared in Prince Wuwei’s Mansion. She couldn’t just be thrown into the north as a test cannon fodder.
In addition to the person behind the scenes, only King Wuwei may know part of its true purpose, and this is also the closest breakthrough point for us to dig out the teacher's secret.
So whether you kill him or capture him alive, it may lead to the fate of the person behind the scenes. This is also a shortcut to achieve your ultimate goal, isn't it? "
Yu Cangmiao was silent, then shrugged and said:
"Then I can promise to assist you, but this preparation is not enough."
Qin Fan nodded and said:
"Ten Tianqian... To be honest, knowing their existence puts a lot of pressure on me. King Wuwei will definitely take them with him on this trip."
Yu Cangmiao thought for a while and then said:
"According to the information you received, Yi and Xin are with Yu Haitang, Gui is dead, and Ding is confirmed to be staying in the palace, so that's four out of ten, and it's impossible to take the remaining six with them.
After all, the owner of Xuanwu Tower is also an ambitious person, and there must be a check and balance in the mansion.
Then according to the order of the Ten Heavenly Stems, one of the remaining 'A' and 'C' needs to stay in the palace, or the two people who are ranked later, such as Wu and Ren, Ji and Geng, two to one way to balance the strength of Jellyfish Yin Ji.
According to my guess, it is more likely to keep two people. After all, King Wuwei has said that Jellyfish Yinji and the eldest son will be in charge. It is obviously not appropriate to add a person with a higher ranking.
So now there are only four people left, and there is a high probability that they will go with King Wuwei. "
Then Yu Cangmiao looked at Qin Fan seriously and said:
“With the power that Gui Shi currently has, he wants to kill King Wuwei in Lingjue Mountain in one fell swoop.
The first thing you have to do is to recall Huang Tiangui and others in the northeastern capital. Because only Huang Tiangui can match up with the 'C', the stronger 'A' needs you to arrange an unpredictable combat force. response. "
"You don't think much of me." After explaining everything, Qin Fan returned to his usual calm and graceful demeanor.
Yu Cangmiao looked solemn and said:
"You should have thought about a possibility. King Wuwei's coming to the southwest capital is probably a test to see if there is a spy inside. If you disrupted all arrangements to prepare for this ambush.
The issue of the inner ghost has almost been indirectly confirmed, and both Yu Gucheng and Ying Wuque may be in danger. "
"So I am not planning to recall Huang Tiangui and the others."
Yu Cangmiao pondered for a moment and said:
"You want to ask the old gentleman from Wuyou Villa to take action?"
Qin Fan shook his head:
"As you said, this does not rule out that this is King Wuwei's internal test. If you calculate it further, it may be that he deliberately used bait to attract all the top combat forces under my command to the Southwest Prefecture. This is also an attempt to divert the tiger away from the mountain. .
I will not go all out because of hatred, and besides, he is just a roadblock on my road to revenge, and he is the weakest one at the moment.
For him, I would never destroy the ghost market in one fell swoop, nor would I take such a big risk for no reason. "
Seeing that Qin Fan had his own plan, Yu Cangmiao didn't ask any more questions.
The extent to which he can contribute is the limit. If he has to rely on Qiyu under his command for this, the cooperation will be a loss for him.
Although according to what Qin Fan just said, King Wuwei is a good breakthrough point, but in this era of great competition, there are more and more similar opportunities.
It's not even far away from those behind the scenes ending up in person.
He doesn't know more than Qin Fan about the mountain and sea world, but through his observations and recent experiences, he has also learned that the value of this world is very high. Before a real world master is determined, there will only be a steady stream of resources. To attract those extraterrestrial forces to join.
Therefore, he has enough patience to wait for a more suitable opportunity.
Then he coughed lightly and said:
"Then the next process of conquering the southwest capital should be accelerated?"
Qin Fan shook his head and said:
"More than just speeding up, I want to level the five regions in one fell swoop, including the Xie family's clan in Zi Nong. This is also a prerequisite."
Yu Cangmiao was silent. He looked at Qin Fan's expression that said, "Come and ask me what my conditions are." He just tilted his head and said nothing.
He knew that if he asked, Qin Fan would definitely tell him and take the opportunity to ask him to help.
Then there is one hand, then there are two hands. It is like a big pit. After countless hands, I finally drag myself into it.
Now he is the Night Emperor of the Ghost City and the leader of the five giants under the Ghost Lord, but Yu Cangmiao knows very well that this status is only temporary.
He must ensure his original intention. Cooperation is always cooperation, and he is not Qin Fan's subordinate. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to be put in this position.
"I believe senior brother." Then Yu Cangmiao smiled slightly, moved the chessboard aside and gestured, "What's the next game?"
Qin Fan rolled his eyes, spontaneously took out the chess pieces and started guessing.
------------------
The northeastern state capital, the land of the Huanjiafang clan.
The last time they faced the Northern Barbarians' siege, after the head of the Fang family, Fang Geyin, broke through to the middle stage of the Celestial Realm, he teamed up with Huang Tiangui and others to finally hold on to the last piece of pure land belonging to the Daxuan people.
Later, Huang Tiangui and the others also moved into Fang's house.
Fang Geyin had a long talk with Fang Zhenmei that night, which included what Fang Zhenmei saw and heard in the ghost market, but more about the changes in the Yuan family in Quxi and the guarantees made by Qin Fan.
Compared to Fang Zhenmei's carefree mentality and style, Fang Geyin had more to think about.
It was just the last war that made him realize that the current Huanjia Fang clan did not have the strength and foundation to compete for a state, so it was natural for him to choose to rely on a big tree.
The primary target is the Daxuan Dynasty, but due to the betrayal of the eight great families, this thorn has been buried between the two sides. During this war, Fang Geyin naturally does not need to worry about the other party making some mistakes, but the subsequent purge will definitely have.
Moreover, even if he does not join Daxuan and just maintains his current seemingly neutral attitude, Daxuan must send the Six Paths Legion to kill the Northern Barbarians with all their strength for the sake of nominal orthodoxy.
Therefore, although there is a slight difference in the strength of the help brought by this kind of refuge, it cannot solve the current predicament of the Fang family.
After that, there is the adjacent Wuwei Palace, but the Wuwei Palace and the Northern Barbarians are in an alliance, so it is a direct pass.
Even if King Wuwei had enough courage to resolve the conflict between the two parties, Fang Geyin would not be willing to let go of this blood feud.
