Wangyou Ghost Market, on the top floor of the Underworld Tower.
Qiao Ba, who was originally overlooking the entire ghost city with Qin Fan, was replaced by Xia Jinyu and Feng Mo.
The former was looking at a blocked street with great interest. Three figures among them looked particularly abrupt in such an empty scene.
And the latter is comforting the tearful Xiaofeng.
"My lord, this Yun Hongce is very interesting. Do you want to meet him next?"
Qin Fan shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry, he needs some time to reposition himself and the Red Demon Kingdom."
"Reposition?" Xia Jinyu frowned slightly. When facing Yuan Suiyun at the beginning, Yun Hongce did have a very high attitude and position, but on the way back to the ghost market, this demon was already very cooperative.
But it can be seen from Qin Fan's words that such Yun Hongce did not meet his expectations.
"My lord, is the information he conveyed wrong? But it shouldn't be. Even though he is very smart, the Four Heavenly Kings are indeed a straightforward fool. I have been able to verify some of the information twice from him.
It's impossible for this guy to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. "
Qin Fan chuckled and said:
"When did our Fourth Master Xia become so unconfident about himself? But if that deceased god's shadow can deceive you through disguise, then our ghost market should really admit defeat."
"So the problem is not with Shen Shenying." Xia Jinyu's brows furrowed even more tightly. He began to recall Yun Hongce's performance along the way, and then he realized something, "Is he using himself as bait? "
Qin Fan nodded.
"As the strategist of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, wouldn't he know that the existence of the Red Emperor is the biggest flaw in this country? And because of his identity, or the bond of kindness, he will not forcibly control his actions.
So what he can do is take advantage of this and turn his disadvantage into an advantage.
This time, it seems that he was escorted to the ghost market as a prisoner, but the information told to you along the way can also be said to be that based on the current situation of the Akara Demon Kingdom, he has placed himself as the biggest bargaining chip. on the table. "
"I don't understand." The one who spoke was Feng Mo, who had already coaxed Xiao Feng.
Xia Jinyu also looked at Qin Fan slightly puzzled. He had figured out some of the key points, but there were also some problems that made him get involved again.
Seeing this, Qin Fan explained:
"First of all, it is what Yun Hongce wants. He has noticed the subtlety of the situation in Kyushu, and through the actions of the top forces, he has deduced that his side lacks the most critical intelligence information, that is, intelligence involving Tianwai.
Therefore, if he wants to figure this out, he needs to choose a top force to join forces and get the information he wants from it.
Among today's top forces, the Daxuan Dynasty was the original master of Kyushu, and also contributed to the sealing of the demons to the Demonic Region in the far west. This may involve some historical secrets from thousands of years ago, so it will not be considered.
Prince Wuwei's Mansion has too much time to take care of itself. With the death of King Wuwei, all the forces have gathered together, and it is even less possible to intervene in the chaos in Xixuanzhou Mansion now.
The Buddha Land and Chiluo Demon Kingdom had already reached their full hatred level, and the Dao domain sent Ning Daoqi and others to assist the Buddha Land, which also lacked the opportunity to communicate with them in depth.
So after going around in a circle, he could only choose Wangyou Ghost Market.
Later, Fotu deliberately introduced the demonic tide into the southwest capital, which gave him the opportunity to contact us.
But you should pay attention to this sequence. Yun Hongce had already targeted us as a cooperation target before the demonic tide poured into the southwest capital. Therefore, he must have done an in-depth investigation of the ghost market with a few days of free time.
In other words, among the top forces of all parties, the one he knows best is Wangyou Ghost Market. "
Having said this, Xia Jinyu seemed to have some enlightenment.
"So before the demonic wave broke out, he made several plans, including a plan to strongly cooperate with our ghost market. Then there were also plans like now, where he misjudged the strength of the ghost market and took the initiative to enter the ghost market as a prisoner?"
"Prisoner?" Qin Fan shook his head slightly, "Do you think he looks like him? In terms of your attitude towards him, do you really treat him as a prisoner?"
"No." Xia Jinyu's expression gradually became serious, "Because the power structure of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom is somewhat deformed, and Yun Hongce is a rare talent.
Regardless of his personal value or his identity as the mastermind behind the Demon Kingdom, I feel that winning over him should be the first priority.
So even though he devalued himself as a prisoner several times, I still had to show due respect.
More importantly, if we can get him to join the Ghost Market willingly, it will be enough to bring the overall strength of our Ghost Market to a higher level. "
"Willingly." Qin Fan chuckled and said, "This word is used well. When did you have the illusion? I need someone to join the ghost market, and I must first let him surrender wholeheartedly."
"It was his character design." Xia Jinyu closed his eyes with a headache, "To that Red Emperor, he can be loyal for a favor, so such a great talent deserves to be treated with courtesy."
Feng Mo was a little confused when he heard this. He felt like he had become the second shadow of the dead god.
"Isn't this wrong?"
"Yes, that's right, but he is a prisoner of the ghost market." Xia Jinyu has fully realized the influence that the other party has unknowingly exerted on him, "but as we realize its value, or he takes the initiative to expose after showing its own particularity.
It becomes that I, the ghost market, is seeking him. Faced with such a great talent, especially an affectionate person who is willing to repay kindness and revenge, we will subconsciously rule out the toughest methods and use them against him. Convenience, including the Lord will also give it due respect.
It stands to reason that with his talent, it is indeed worthy of us to do this.
But don't forget his original purpose. What he needs first is information about Tianwai. "
Feng Mo looked at Qin Fan half-understanding.
Qin Fan smiled and said:
"To use an analogy, after Yun Hongce realized that the strength of the ghost market exceeded his expectations, he packaged himself into a peerless beauty with a wealth of wealth and fair skin. Being able to marry this woman is enough to make me less... Struggle for a hundred years.
As mentioned before, he has already targeted the ghost market, which shows that he, the hunter who seems to be his prey, has some information about me.
For example, the cooperation with Zhishan can eliminate the innate dislike of the entire demon clan. Another example is Liu Yao and Yuan Shisanqian who later joined the ghost market. It can be concluded that I am a monarch who is willing to recruit talents.
When these prerequisites were met, he showed a side of affection and justice, which allowed me to directly avoid taking strong measures in pursuing him.
So if you want to get such a woman with excellent conditions in all aspects and extremely high intelligence, some push and pull methods are obviously easy to be seen through, and then only sincerity and sincerity are left.
And that's what he took advantage of.
According to my guess, he will be non-active, non-rejecting, and irresponsible in the future, which makes me feel that I am only one step away from recruiting him, but this step will be like a cliff in the sky.
At the same time, during this process, he will get a lot of conveniences, such as some information, and using the power of the ghost market to strengthen the Chiluo Demon Kingdom. Of course, as a qualified scumbag, he will also give me some benefits.
For example, when targeting other forces, provide some solutions and plans.
This will give me the illusion that he will bring the entire Akura Demon Kingdom to join the ghost market in the next second.
And with the help of the big tree of the Ghost Market, the entire Red Demonic Kingdom quietly integrated into the world of mountains and seas, and began to silently accumulate strength, waiting for the opportunity to stand on its own feet. "
"So this is a disguised alliance?" Feng Mo felt like everyone was dumbfounded.
Xia Jinyu shook his head and said:
"Although it is correct to call it an alliance, in the process, we will completely lose our dominance. Once we take this passive position, we will become a shield for the Red Demon Kingdom.
Of course, just like the Lord's metaphor, Military Advisor Yun will properly show his shining points, and in the early stages of the alliance, he will spare no effort to help Guoshi get some considerable benefits.
Only in this way can he fully demonstrate his advantages and make us become more and more obsessed with him.
What he can't get is the best. He will keep this distance until he finds another stronger tree, or until it grows into a canopy that can cover the entire ghost market, and abandons the ghost market. . "
"Then what should we do?" It was the first time for Feng Mo to face such a scumbag, and he suddenly felt at a loss.
Qin Fan smiled lightly and said:
"We should take advantage, but the push and pull rhythm must be in our hands, and this is a conspiracy. We cannot fall out with it just because of some speculation, and it is not like this.
After all, if you really think about it, there is no deep hatred between us and the Red Demon Kingdom.
Of course the most important thing is that I am really interested in him. "
"Perhaps we can arrange a game to kill the Red Emperor." Feng Mo made a throat-cutting gesture.
Before Qin Fan could speak, Xia Jinyu stopped him and said:
"If we really do this, the first target he will suspect is us. With the character he has established, it is even more impossible to join the ghost market. In fact, after all, this is also a gold medal he set for the Red Emperor to avoid death. .
But now I doubt whether the real Yun Hongce is as focused on so-called kindness as he appears. "
"To see whether a person is disguising, it's easiest to start with the people around him. Chi Yan Ming before, and Shen Shen Ying now, just by looking at the two people's subconscious attitudes towards Yun Hongce, you can tell that this person has seven tricks. Probability is its nature.
Then the remaining 30% is not important. After all, if a person can pretend to be a gentleman for a lifetime, then he is an out-and-out gentleman.
At the same time, this is also a weakness or a handle that he actively handed to us.
With such a resourceful person, coupled with a cold-blooded and ruthless character, who can trust his existence? On the contrary, it seems more manageable if paired with an affectionate nature. "
Qin Fan doesn't care whether Yun Hongce is disguised or not, because if his nature is completely opposite to his performance, when it is exposed, the first one to collapse will be the Red Luo Demon Kingdom that he relies on.
And he also discovered that Yun Hongce's acting style is very good at using his own flaws or weaknesses to make plans, silently turning weakness into strength, and turning passivity into initiative.
Because of the flaw of the Red Emperor, Yun Hongce's own value was increased, and because of Yun Hongce's affectionate character, he avoided Qin Fan from using some tough and sideways methods.
After all, in the absence of deep hatred, facing such a demon, being too rough will only force it to the opposite side, or completely destroy it. And it is obvious that the value of a living Yun Hongce is far more important. The dead Yun Hongce.
"Pity."
Qin Fan let out an inexplicable sigh.
Feng Mo and Xia Jinyu looked at each other with confusion.
Qin Fan did not give an explanation. With the two fingers of his right hand, Jiu Ge, who had completely suppressed the deceased god's shadow, once again turned into a rainbow light and disappeared into the street.
Qin Fan also looked at Xia Jinyu with an increasingly solemn expression.
"Yun Hongce's matter has come to an end for the time being. Regarding the information from the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, the Red Pink Skull Tower and Ye Mansion have been infiltrated. The most important thing below is the conversation between you and the big shopkeeper."
Xia Jinyu nodded. Compared with Yun Hongce and the entire Chiluo Demon Kingdom, the real enemies he had to face in the ghost city were the eager predators outside the world.
After confirming the value of the mountain and sea realm, this confrontation has become inevitable.
Just say that the ghost market is placed on those external forces, and you will not lower yourself to negotiate with some ants.
This is a perfectly normal law of the dark forest.
Xia Jinyu could understand it, and so could Qin Fan, but if they were placed on the weaker side, this emotion of recognition would have no value at all.
Noticing that the atmosphere at the scene was much more solemn, Xiaofeng, who was originally confused, also showed a serious expression.
——
the other side.
Watching Jiu Ge go away, Shen Shenying stood up with lingering fear. He no longer yelled arrogantly, but looked at Yun Hongce with some fear.
He couldn't understand how he could be suppressed by a sword so easily. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Scarlet Demon Kingdom, his strength could even touch that of the Scarlet Emperor. However, he was on the absolutely weak side. He had not experienced this for a long time. .
But what worries him even more is that Yun Hongce, who always had a slightly naughty smile and his eyes were always full of confidence, began to anxiously draw circles around the small silver corner of his forehead with his fingers.
This uneasy feeling soon affected Shen Shenying, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
Until he saw Yun Hongce take a deep breath, his clear pupils full of interest and expectation.
"Master Military Advisor?"
"Huh~" Yun Hongce exhaled the turbid air in his mouth for a long time, and the smile he raised was as pure as Shen Shenying had ever seen before, "Don't worry, this is probably the first time I really speak from my heart. I feel inside that I will lose to one person.”
"Master Military Advisor lost?" Chen Shenying didn't understand.
Yun Hongce did not explain, just smiled and said:
"Although we haven't met yet, we did lose. I'm afraid some of my little thoughts have been seen through, otherwise I wouldn't have let you put me in such an embarrassing situation."
"Are you embarrassed?" Shen Shenying looked at himself covered in dust. He was indeed a little embarrassed, but he didn't understand why Yun Hongce, who was spotless, looked embarrassed.
Yun Hongce did not give any more answers, but looked at Wu Ming.
"Mr. Wu, please lead the way. We won't cause you any more trouble."
