The food was served and everyone started eating, filling their stomachs quickly.
The waiter cleaned the table and brought paper, ink, pen and inkstone.
The Wu brothers gathered the members of Wude Hall together, and everyone recalled the evil deeds committed by the Dragon Slaying Association in the past one by one. The crimes committed by the Dragon Slayer Club are really too numerous to describe. Due to limited time and limited paper, we selected some major crimes and wrote them down on paper. Twelve people bit off their fingers, pressed their fingerprints, signed their names, and handed them over to Bai Yutian.
As if Bai Yutian had found a treasure, he gave it to the four Taoist priests to see, folded it, put it in their arms, and thanked Wu Ci and the twelve others.
The Wu brothers were deeply moved, and in order to pay for their past crimes, they wanted to tell the Dragon Slaying Society about their march south to Pingyao. Considering that there is no guarantee that among Mo Lianning and others, there is no one who pretends to surrender, Bai Yutian is asked to speak aside.
Bai Yutian followed Wu Ci happily, walked about ten feet away from everyone, and sat down against a big tree.
Wu Ci asked: "Young Master Bai, are you planning to go north to Dragon King Mountain with these people?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "To be honest, Wu Daxia trapped Zhao Chujiong to death because he was afraid that Zhao Mingxiu would anger the heroes of Jinzhong and take revenge on his family."
Wu Ci said: "You are too worried about this. The heroes are coming fiercely, and Zhao Mingxiu is afraid that the defense at Longwang Mountain is not good enough, so why bother to take revenge first?"
Bai Yutian said: "With Wu Daxia's words, I feel a lot more at ease."
Wu Ci said solemnly: "Young Master Bai, there is something I need to tell you."
Bai Yutian said: "Master Wu, please tell me."
Wu Cidao: "There is a saying in soldiers, it is better to attack passively than to defend passively. Zhao Mingxiu knows this very well. In order to resolve the crisis, he has led the Dragon Slaying Society to come out in full force, hoping to annihilate the southern heroes led by Xie Mubai in Pingyao. After winning, he will attack again The other two groups of heroes pursued and defeated them one by one, thereby realizing their long-cherished wish to unify the world."
Bai Yutian's previous worries about dividing the troops into three groups were now verified by Wu Ci. He was very happy to hear this. Huan Sheng asked: "Wu Daxia, do you have any good ideas that can wipe out the Dragon Slaying Society in Pingyao in one fell swoop?"
Wu Ci said: "If Mr. Bai can trust my Wu brothers and my subordinates, we brothers are willing to continue to serve as Zhao Mingxiu's vanguard, go south to Pingyao to arrange everything, and wait for Zhao Mingxiu to lead his troops. You will use the same trick again, do the opposite, and take things by surprise. Annihilate them in one fell swoop.”
Bai Yutian said: "That's very good. I'd like to help you, Master Wu."
Wu Ci did not expect that Bai Yutian would agree so readily. It was a bit unbelievable and asked: "Young Master Bai, are you sincere in your willingness to do so?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Wu Daxia, today he killed more than twenty people in one breath. Although they died unjustly and it is not a pity, it was also to force your brothers to submit and break away from the Dragon Slaying Society. Since you are willing to help us eradicate Zhao Mingxiu, Devil, if I can't trust you absolutely, then the twenty or so lives lost will be worthless, and won't I be as evil as Zhao Mingxiu? I mean it from the bottom of my heart."
Wu Ci stood up and said, "Thank you, Shaoxia Bai, for trusting me."
Bai Yutian stood up and said, "Then today's agreement is concluded."
Wu Ci said: "Okay. High five as an oath." He stretched out his right palm.
Bai Yutian closed his palms and reached an agreement.
Wu Ci said: "Young Master Bai, there is a saying from Mr. Wu that feels stuck in your throat and you won't be able to spit it out quickly."
Bai Yutian said: "Master Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Bai is listening attentively."
Wu Ci said: "As far as I know, the five Chao Jiaonan brothers, the 'Five Mountains Sovereign', are the eagle dogs of the Dragon Slaying Society and have been the government's minions for several years. They no longer know what it is like to have friendship in the world. To say that they helped the court eradicate the Dragon Slaying Society, in order to They should be sincere in seeking fame. It is difficult to say clearly that they helped the heroes of the world to eradicate the Dragon Slaying Society because of their chivalrous hearts. For the sake of the wealth and lives of the heroes of the world, it is better to be more considerate and kind. After all, people's hearts are separated by the belly. No one can see anyone clearly.”
Bai Yutian smiled warmly and said, "Wu Daxia reminds me very much. I will keep this in mind."
When Wu Ci heard the word "junior", he smiled slightly, seemingly happy, but actually reluctant. At this time, he was reminded that Bai Yutian should be wary of Chao Jiaonan brothers, and half of them also told him that Bai Yutian should be wary of his own brothers. But he knew in his heart that since he had pressed his fingerprints and signed his name on the paper full of sins, there was no way out. If you want to live a good life with peace of mind in the future, you must eliminate Zhao Mingxiu, and you have to say it out loud.
Fortunately, Bai Yutian did not fully trust the "Five Mountains Sovereign". If the imperial court had not harbored evil thoughts towards the Jianghu heroes and was afraid that the Jianghu heroes would be eradicated by the court after eradicating the Dragon Slaying Society, Chao Jiaonan would not have been asked to serve as the leader of the alliance and preside over the annihilation of the Dragon Slaying Society. Big plan. After Wu Ci said this, although he didn't want to believe it, he also confirmed his worries.
Wu Ci said: "Young Master Bai, let's say goodbye today. When Zhao Mingxiu leads his troops to Pingyao and makes arrangements, I will try my best to inform you."
Bai Yutian cupped his fists and said, "Wu Daxia, take care."
The word "take care" comes from the sincerity and is by no means a polite word.
He thinks that the Wu brothers have betrayed Zhao Mingxiu. There is no airtight wall in the world. Whether it can be concealed from the sky and across the sea is hanging in the air. However, otherwise, the Wu brothers would have lost their due value, and it would be better to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. In order to save the heroes of the world from death and injuries, Bai Yutian hardened his heart and allowed the Wu brothers to take risks. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was ruthless and unjust.
Wu Ci clenched his fists in return, and returned to the pavilion with Bai Yutian. He sent Bai Yutian and others away, buried the dead with his men, and then headed south to Pingyao.
Bai Yutian and his men originally wanted to go north, but when they encountered such a change, they felt relieved and went south to Pingyao with the four Taoists, preparing for an all-out war with the Dragon Slaying Society. Along the way, whenever I had the opportunity, I confided my thoughts to Taoist Master Jingyin and asked for help.
After Taoist Priest Jingyin helped Longwei Escort Bureau to escort Escort Yin to Beijing, he went to Zhongnan Mountain alone to visit his friends Taoist Master Lu Youyuan and Taoist Shi Huaijin, and then went with them to Huashan Mountain to meet Taoist Master Chen Xingyuan. On the way to Zhengyi Villa, I heard that the alliance of heroes from all walks of life was successful and they rushed to Longwang Mountain, so they rushed to join in the fun with the three Taoist priests, and that was how they met.
Bai Yutian saw that Taoist Master Jingyin knew nothing about the martial arts conference, but he was very interested in it, so he started chatting along the way so that the four Taoist priests could understand the matter and give them some good ideas.
The four Taoist priests lived up to their expectations and gave Bai Yutian many unique suggestions. Bai Yutian benefited a lot from it.
After traveling through mountains and rivers several times, hurriedly and slowly, Bai Yutian and others arrived at Pingyao. Wei Bao and others were sent to inquire and search, and finally met the southern heroes led by Xie Mubai outside Pingyao City.
After dinner, four Taoist priests, Bai Yutian, Xie Mubai, Bao Dalei, Tang Xiansheng, Huang Ting, Le Xiaotian, Jiang Longwei, Yingwang Tieshi, plus Mo Lianning, Feng Dayou, and Shi Lingyi, sat down in a table. In the quiet courtyard, drinking tea, chatting, and discussing strategies for the upcoming war.
Bai Yutian informed Xie Mubai and others about the surrender of the Wu brothers, which aroused a lot of suspicion, which is human nature. Because Bai Yutian was unmoved and willing to believe deeply in the Wu brothers, the others followed suit and based all their thoughts on this, speaking openly.
Xie Mubai considered that even if the three groups of people gathered together, there would not be as many people as the Dragon Slayer Cult. If he wanted to completely eradicate them, he must seek help from the Fenzhou Prefecture.
Bao Dalei believes that if the imperial court intends to embarrass the heroes of the world, it may be difficult to borrow soldiers and horses based only on the charges of the Dragon Slaying Society. Therefore, it was suggested that the troops should move dangerously and take advantage of the arrival of the Dragon Slaying Society's separate troops to ambush them halfway and defeat them one by one to make up for the lack of manpower.
Although this plan is good, Bai Yutian, Tang Xiansheng, Jiang Longwei, and Shi Lingyi do not agree with it, fearing that it will alert the snake and arouse Zhao Mingxiu's vigilance. Once Zhao Mingxiu retreats halfway or disbands the congregation on the spot, trying to find the Dragon Slaying Society's congregation to eliminate them in the future will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will definitely be a lot of hard work but little credit.
Xie Mubai saw that Bao Dalei could not explain Tang Xiansheng, and did not want to hear any more. He made the final decision: "Bai Yutian, the opportunity is fleeting and only comes once in a thousand years. No matter what method you use, you must invite the officers and soldiers of Fenzhou Prefecture to help."
Bai Yutian said: "Yes, this junior has the order."
The two men sang in harmony, and the others couldn't say anything more, so they had to change the topic.
Jiang Longwei said: "Senior Xie, Senior Bao, Military Master Tang, and the other two groups of people, there are spies from the Dragon Slayer Society who are not fully protected. If they are allowed to change their original route at this time and come to Pingyao to help, they may arouse Zhao Mingxiu's vigilance. There will be no unexpected effect.”
Tang Xiansheng said: "Young Master Jiang, this matter is easy to handle. Tell Master Jiang and Master Chao that no one is allowed to leave the team without authorization during the march, and no one is allowed to contact outsiders without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be treated as a spy of the Dragon Slaying Society and will be killed without mercy." .”
Le Xiaotian said: "The group of people led by the leader of the Kechao Alliance are from three religions and nine schools, and most of them are defectors. I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out such orders."
Xie Mubai said: "Everything is done by people and God is watching. It rarely goes as expected. He, Zhao Mingxiu, led his troops to fight south, intending to avoid the officers and soldiers of Shizhou Prefecture, so that he could attack us with more people and less people. We were caught off guard. Even if we knew that the other two groups were acting differently, they would at most attack us in advance and would not easily change their original intentions."
Bai Yutian echoed: "Senior Xie is absolutely right. We eliminated the Dragon Slaying Society just to bring peace to the world of martial arts. Success is just better than failure. Zhao Mingxiu eliminates us, and unification of the world is just around the corner. He only wants to succeed, never want to fail. This is It can be said that Zhao Mingxiu’s demands are stronger than ours, and we all have a beautiful vision for this battle, let alone Zhao Mingxiu.”
Shi Lingyi said: "What Bai Shaoxia said makes sense. If Zhao Mingxiu wants to dominate the world, there will be a battle with the heroes of the world sooner or later. Zhao Chujiong is dead, and he, Zhao Mingxiu, is old and can no longer wait. Thinking about his whole life. Our ambitions and visions will definitely be taken as a battle to make our dreams come true, sooner rather than later."
Having said this, everyone felt that it was wrong to think too much and worry too much.
Xie Mubai stood up and said, "That's all for tonight. Go away and have a good sleep. We will all be in our positions tomorrow and actively prepare for the battle."
Everyone got up, said goodbye to each other, and left in search of sleep.
