Chapter 1022 Green Willow Villa
Things in Daoyu have come to an end for the time being.
Both the subsequent negotiations and the dispatch of troops for support will take some time, but Zhang Sanfeng has already expressed his attitude to Xue Wuxia through the sound transmission token.
Xue Wuxia knew the details, which also meant that Xia Jinyu was clear about the bottom line of Daoyu.
At the same time, because of some of Zhang Sanfeng's somewhat vague statements, Xue Wuxia and Xia Jinyu guessed that the other party might have some speculations.
But this has no impact on the current situation.
And given Xia Jinyu's busy state, he had no time to pay attention to this aspect. He originally thought that after the battle was over, he could take a break from his busy schedule. However, at the hour of Mao on the next day, the Xixuan coalition forces had already joined in with great force.
Next, he, the commander-in-chief of the ghost market, would be needed to dispatch garrison troops.
Currently, the confrontation with the rat tide is divided into three battlefields. One is naturally the fourth line of defense where the number of people is increasing. The second is the border near the Xuanyang Region. The third is the place where Mo Kaixin presides over the formation.
The first battlefield was a frontal fight, the second was a battle of surprise forces, and the third was the one with the densest black holes, which greatly compressed the environment for the army to deploy its forces, and gradually turned into a fight between masters.
There are quite a few powerful Dharma Realm masters on the Ghost Market coalition side now.
Yan Yuxin from Wuwei Palace, Xue Wuxia from Daoyu, Guan Qi from Shaohou Palace, Duan Shuai from Linlang Duan clan, and Shi Wuzun from Pure Land Sect.
After being dispatched by Xia Jinyu, at least three strong men with the combat power of the Dharma Realm need to guard around Mo Kaixin at all times to prevent attacks from high-level ferocious beasts in the rat tide.
The following battles gradually turned into a fight for life.
In order to prevent the opponent from making another surprise move, even though the energy of the Armstrong cyclonic jet Armstrong cannon was fully accumulated, it did not fire another shot directly. At the same time, it was also to maximize the effect of the stench as a combustion aid.
Gongshu Lian had to suppress her disgust and aversion to this kind of explosive mechanism and began to upgrade the power of the self-destructive armor for the idiot demon.
In just half a day, the [Humanoid Self-Destruction Art No. 7], which had been tinkered with day and night by the idiot and finally reached the seventh version, has been upgraded again and jumped to the tenth generation!
This time Gongshu Lian was really determined to deal a devastating blow to those rats. This was also the first time she used her explosive talent without any restraint.
To be honest, her explosive talent is not weird. It is just a burst of inspiration from a mechanical engineer. But for others, it is difficult to hold on to this flash of inspiration.
But in his eyes, inspiration related to mechanical explosions is like stars in the sky, and he can grab a handful of them.
It was because of this uncontrollable inspiration that she often accidentally turned a normal mechanical device into an explosive.
So in order to create a normal mechanical item, she usually suppressed the explosive inspiration that gushed out like a spring. But this time she completely let go of the suppression of her thoughts, so she didn't know what kind of gadget she would make this time.
In short, this rat tide war has tended to be an orthodox war.
At the same time, somewhere in a northeastern provincial capital.
Two young men were walking under the yellow sand, and the bad weather did not affect their conversation.
"I'll ask you again, are you sure you want to come with me?" [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] reminded.
Zhang Wuji casually released a wisp of Qi, which defeated a small whirlwind coming from the front, and replied:
"If I go, I can help you."
"But if you go, you will also have to take certain risks." [Knife Maniac] looked a little entangled, "After all, if the other party suddenly attacks."
"She won't." Zhang Wuji said confidently.
And his expression made [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] even more helpless.
It was said that he was nervous for several hours last night because Xia Jinyu contacted him in advance. If he received the message again, he must start the game directly and pull Rat King Jin Dami into it.
As this was the first time he had invited a ferocious beast to participate in the game, he was not sure it would be feasible.
Although Jin Dami also meets the two conditions of name and appearance, if he has not tried it, once he fails, it may affect the overall war situation in the south.
If we look into this later, it would be like he is the one who has to bear the blame.
And now the battle situation among all parties is so tense, it is impossible to give him time to test the beast pulling effect of the game.
Fortunately, Yanshi Mo Kaixin turned the tide, so [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] didn't have to bear such heavy pressure. He wanted to log off and have a good sleep, but he received a message from the Beiman Yingzhao royal family.
An important meeting.
The person being interviewed is Zhao Min, who is now in charge of the entire Northern Barbarian Army in the Northeastern Prefecture.
Combined with the news that Sword Maniac and Sword Maniac had received about the civil unrest among the various factions of the Northern Barbarians, he felt that this was an opportunity.
The Yingzhao royal family has always advocated neutrality and has an extremely prudent style of action.
They are not prepared to rely on any big power, nor do they want the people of Kyushu to treat them as aliens.
Therefore, while intending to improve their own reputation, they would not come into direct conflict with a certain force for no reason. Even though [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac] had destroyed their plan before, the other party withdrew their attack immediately after realizing that something was wrong.
This time, the opponent took the initiative at this critical moment, which, in the eyes of [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac], should be beneficial to Ghost Market.
After the news was passed back to the Ghost Market, the advisors analyzed it and believed that it was necessary for [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] to go there.
Anyway, he is a player and is not afraid of death. As the first commander of the Northeast Province, he is nominally worthy of Zhao Min's invitation. Even if the other party has some conspiracy, at worst it will be just a waste of a lossless death of this month by [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac].
But after [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] temporarily arranged the affairs of the Northeast Provincial Government, he was directly entangled by Zhang Wuji.
The reasons given by the other party were very sufficient. Today, [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] represents the Ghost Market and is also a well-known middle and senior level figure. If he goes to the banquet alone, it will really damage the dignity of the Ghost Market.
Now that Zhang Wuji has been promoted to the Pseudo-Celestial Realm, he can maintain the reputation of the Ghost Market if he serves as a follower.
Of course, the private reason was that Zhang Wuji had a premonition that he would break through to the celestial realm during this trip. If there was a more selfish reason, it was that he was affected by the emotional tribulation and wanted to meet Zhao Min.
Naturally, this matter was reported to Ghost Market by [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac] at the first opportunity. According to the analysis of the Advisory Group, although there are certain risks in having Zhang Wuji accompany her, it can also affect Zhao Min's position and judgment. In short, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
But everything still depends on the decision of [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac].
This is also the reason why [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] asked Zhang Wuji again when they were about to reach their destination.
As a player, he didn't have any intuition or premonition, he just felt it was more convenient for him to go on the road.
Now that he saw Zhang Wuji was so determined, he did not ask any more questions.
At this time, the two had already crossed a desert and saw increasingly lush green vegetation, and of course a mountain villa at the end of the path.
"It seems like you've come to the right place this time." [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] sighed.
There was a bluestone road in front of the villa, and a small river surrounded it. The riverside was full of green willows, and the scenery was like that of the south of the Yangtze River. When we arrived in front of the villa, we saw four big characters "Green Willow Villa" written on the high plaque.
The Green Willow Villa is where Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min fell in love.
Previously, Zhang Wuji said that the opportunity for him to break through the celestial realm was right here. Now it seems that it was not just an excuse.
And [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] also thought that he might inadvertently eat mouthfuls of dog food at this banquet, which made him look a little complicated.
Then, under the guidance of the guards of the villa, [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] and Zhang Wuji walked through the corridor and the courtyard.
The first thing that caught my eye was a large garden, with ancient and ugly rocks, clear streams and pools, and few but elegant flowers. There were seven or eight narcissus-like flowers planted in the pools around the water pavilion, which were larger than narcissus, with white flowers and a subtle fragrance.
Zhang Wuji, who was thought to be in a trance for a moment, had a calm expression. His nose twitched slightly, and he sent a message to [Knife Madman and Sword Maniac]:
"This flower is not poisonous, and its fragrance should not be the trigger of some kind of mixed poison. Moreover, the water pavilion here does not have any traps like in the original book. After all, it is not easy to build such a villa in this desert, and its terrain is even more unsuitable for building an underground prison."
"That's a pity for you." After making a joke, [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] calmly walked towards Zhao Min who was already waiting in the Water Pavilion. Beside him was Zhao Ping, a master of the Celestial Realm who was also from the Yingzhao royal family.
When the two men walked forward, [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] clearly noticed that the other party's eyes, which had been calm before, became a little turbulent after he saw Zhang Wuji coming.
This also made him feel that it was a right decision to bring Zhang Wuji to Green Willow Villa. After all, Zhang Wuji was just an attendant, and his drastic mood swings would not affect the subsequent negotiation conditions. If Zhao Min was affected too much, it would give him a certain advantage.
It is said that with the character of [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy], he does not like to play these twists and turns, but given the chaotic situation in the Northeast Province today, if he wants to achieve a result that satisfies the entire Ghost City, he will have to use his brain.
Even if he doesn't like it, it doesn't mean he is really not good at it.
Then he spoke directly:
"Miss Zhao, please tell me the purpose of this invitation. If it is just for a date, I believe that if the conversation goes well, there will be many more times in the future."
The implication of [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] also helped Zhao Min, who was affected by the emotional tribulation, to regain her composure.
She did not continue the other party's topic, because she had already realized that as long as Zhang Wuji was here, she would inevitably be at a disadvantage in the relevant temptations, so she talked about something that would interest [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy].
"The civil unrest in our northern border should be completely over in the next few days."
"Oh? The tribe headed by the Bai Ze royal family should have won, after all, the strong men from the pro-war tribes were all caught up in the conspiracy of the Wu Tian Demon Sect."
"Well, the victory is basically decided, but there were some unexpected events during this period."
"For example?"
"The Jiuying tribe was completely annihilated, and the Shangyang tribe held a blood sacrifice for the entire tribe."
"Ok?"
[Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] raised his eyebrows slightly. With his current status and position, especially as the first commander of the Ghost Market in the Northeastern Prefecture, he was qualified to know that the first thing was related to the Ghost Market. Although he was not sure about the reason, confirming the result also made him have some plans in his mind.
But the second thing is completely puzzling.
But this did not prevent him from extracting more information from Zhao Min.
"As far as I know, the Jiuying tribe advocates peace, while the Shangyang tribe advocates war. Since the two sides have opposing positions, could this be revenge against each other, or could it be that the killers were sent by tribes from the same faction?"
"No." Zhao Min said, "The situation of the ten major tribes in our northern border is somewhat special. Unless it is necessary, even if we disagree with each other, we will not uproot them.
For example, the Jiuying tribe has confirmed that no one is alive, but the Shangyang tribe can pin their hopes on Murong Longcheng, who is trapped in an unknown space. As long as one person survives, then things are not the worst yet. "
“What’s the worst that could happen?”
Zhao Min smiled without saying anything, then changed the subject again:
"By informing you of this, we are intentionally exposing the predicament of our current situation. That is why we hope to gain some support and help from the Ghost Market."
[Knife Maniac and Sword Fanatic] did not answer immediately.
The opponent's showing of weakness felt more like crying poor. Of course, it was understandable that he was using this opportunity to show some closeness to the Ghost Market. Even though Zhao Min had just directly denied her own guess, the so-called special circumstances and necessary moments in her words were somewhat ambiguous.
If she guessed this way, Zhao Min couldn't be completely sure that it wasn't her own people who did it, especially the blood sacrifice of the entire Shangyang tribe. This was obviously a trick played by the Northern Barbarians themselves. After all, no one understood blood sacrifice better than these barbarians!
Then he took a deep breath and said:
"I can make the decision on matters such as support for the situation in the Northeastern state capital, but Miss Zhao probably wants more."
Zhao Min nodded.
"This time, I just hope that you can convey all my words to the higher-ups of Ghost Market. If you want to get something, you must pay first. At this critical moment, my Yingzhao royal family can show some sincerity first."
"Yeah." [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] was also relieved. This appointment was a test of each other's attitudes, and it seemed pretty good so far.
Then Zhao Min took the initiative to stand up, first glanced at Zhang Wuji, and then said:
"Let me change my clothes first. I didn't expect you to..."
[Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] looked at the other person in heroic men's clothing, blinked helplessly, and looked at Zhang Wuji who was pretending to be calm on the side. He couldn't help but feel that he would probably become a background board next.
It is said that Zhao Min's inclination towards the Ghost Market this time may have been influenced by Zhang Wuji's emotional tribulation. Even if she only occupied one-tenth of it, it was still a great achievement.
Then [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] calmly raised his teacup and gestured to Zhao Min who was about to leave, but in the next second, the splattering blood, boiling brain fluid, and a wisp of drifting black hair completely obscured his vision!
When he came to his senses, he found that the once heroic, charming and intelligent woman in front of him had fallen to the ground with only a headless corpse!
