Although the "Big Four" were a bit unexpected, they still had a good handle on their temperament.
The man who was a great strategist had a powerful "Wu Zhen" aura. He stared at Xi Shan indifferently, and his voice like a broken cymbal contained the sound of gold and stone:
"Young man, what is your basis for saying that the dead Jiuzhen Alliance is a martial arts hawk and dog? Huh?"
A "hmm" came out of his mouth, even more so with the coercion of a real master.
There was sweat on Xi Shan's forehead. Although he was impressed by the majesty of the military advisor, he still calmly said with his hands in his hands: "If you want to return to the military advisor, I am here because I have a good temperament."
"Speak." The military advisor looked solemn.
At this moment, Xi Shan discovered that among the four giants, the most powerful and unpredictable one turned out to be the great military advisor who had joined Daming Mountain less than two years ago: Ouyang Feng, the master of Xidu.
What does this mean?
It shows that the great military advisor himself is not only highly cultivated and talented, but also has the air of a central commander.
While Xishan was thinking about it, he said respectfully: "This is your great military advisor, your lord general. More than a year ago, just after our army won a great victory, we received a letter from the Jiuzhen Alliance congratulating us on victory. This is so timely.
some."
"This alone doesn't mean anything. However, this junior has a boring hobby and likes to observe some interesting people."
"My Daming Mountain lacks cave building materials, spiritual wine and spiritual food. Almost all the casual cultivators who go to Daming Mountain are poor people, and they drag their families up the mountain. Most of them live in mud houses and wooden houses like ordinary people."
"But a few years ago, my subordinates discovered that a wandering cultivator not only went alone and had no family, but also had no shortage of building materials for the cultivation cave. His cave was very small, but the foundation of the walls was very deep and the walls were very thick. But
At first glance, it looks just shabby, and there is a suspicion of hiding wealth."
"That's all. Over the past few years, this man's cultivation has advanced from the late stage of Martial Lord to the stage of Martial Lord Perfection. His aura is solid, and he has a trace of alcohol on his body more than once. The holes in his real clothes are obviously made on purpose.
It’s different from a real hole.”
"Obviously, this is not a poor man. He enjoys it secretly and thinks he is smart by making holes in the intact real clothes, which is self-defeating."
"The four adults know that few of the casual cultivators who defect to Daming Mountain can break through within a few years due to lack of resources. Otherwise, they would not take the risk of defecting to Daming Mountain."
"Nearly all the casual cultivators on the mountain are subordinates. Their families don't even have a decent cave, let alone the resources to enjoy themselves."
"To put it bluntly, who really wants to live a better life would take huge risks to evade taxes and go to Daming Mountain? How many of the casual cultivators who have fallen to this point are not paupers?"
"This man is not a poor man, but he went to Daming Mountain alone. It is too strange, and there must be something abnormal. So, the younger generation secretly paid special attention to him, and after paying attention, he discovered more abnormalities."
"These anomalies gradually accumulated, and the junior finally made a judgment a few months ago: this person may be a spy of the martial arts clan."
When the four of them heard this, they couldn't help but start to look at Xi Shan with admiration. The four of them were such figures, so of course they understood that Xi Shan was not lying and he could not be a spy.
Xi Shan observed the expressions of the four people, and immediately relaxed, and continued:
"This junior immediately connected the incident with this person when our troops went down the mountain to collect food and were ambushed by the martial clan a few years ago. There was also the incident of the Nine True Alliance delivering a letter more than a year ago."
"Because in the eyes of this junior, there is really no other person who is more abnormal than him."
"So, the junior deliberately approached him, borrowed money from him, and complained in front of him, saying that the Xuanfeng Army had no future and wanted to go down the mountain. Unexpectedly, after hearing my complaints twice, he actually lent me four hundred spiritual jade.
younger generation."
"Later, the junior deliberately borrowed money from him again. Not only did he borrow it, he also invited me to drink in his cave."
"Junior said, the Xuanfeng Army's rabbit tail can't grow long. Not only will everyone lose their shit if they have been defecting for so long, but in the future the whole family will be killed by the martial clan as a rebel. It is better to find a way to escape down the mountain and inform the martial clan about the military situation in the mountain to receive the reward.
, and even persuaded him to go with me."
"At that time, he said that you were drunk and did not agree to go down the mountain and escape together."
"A few days later, the Xuanfeng Army recruited auxiliary soldiers from casual cultivators and trained military formations in their spare time. Many people rushed to sign up, but I deliberately did not sign up, and even said some weird and depressing words."
"After he found out, he invited me to drink again. After a few drinks, he said, brother, you and I are destined, why don't we help you? Don't you want to serve the martial arts clan? Why bother looking far away from the near? Brother, I am a martial arts clan.
Sent by the emperor."
"There is actually nothing to say next. It's just that the junior has gained his trust and learned that he is a spy sent by the Jiuzhen Alliance. He really thought that the junior has been dragged into the water by him and has become his confidant and helper.
.”
"In order for this junior to work wholeheartedly for the Nine True Alliance, he had to tell me some inside stories. Only then did this junior know their conspiracy. It turned out that they wanted to use a very advanced poison to control the four adults for their own use."
"As long as the four adults guess that they are the old members of the cult, they will go to meet in Death Ashes, and they will fall into the trap."
"An hour ago, the junior took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack suddenly and restrained him. But because he was afraid that he had accomplices on the mountain, he could only keep a low profile."
Jiang Yao and others could not have imagined that Xi Shan was so good at observing trivial things. He also had such patience that he could secretly observe someone for several years after discovering something suspicious.
Too forbearing.
That's not all. In the end, he used a clever trick to dig out the spy, and even attacked and restrained the opponent.
"Where is that person?" Jiang Yao was most concerned about this question.
Xi Shan said: "Don't worry, Great Military Advisor, that man will be imprisoned in his cave, and there will be no chance of escaping in the short term."
Ji Xin immediately ordered troops to be sent, asking Xi Shan to lead the way and bring the man over.
Soon, the spy was brought over.
Facing the "Four Big" Wu Zhen, how could the spy dare to resist at all? He explained everything clearly like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
It's exactly what Xi Shan said.
While the four giants breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but become interested in Xi Shan.
Jiang Yao first asked: "Xi Shan, you originally had the opportunity to serve the martial clan, why did you give up this opportunity?"
Xi Shan showed a bitter smile and said, "Reporting to Master Military Advisor, this junior's whole family went to the mountain. They have no good feelings for the martial clan, only hatred. In addition, if you make this contribution to Daming Mountain, you can get rewards based on your background. There is another reason, junior
Dare not say."
Jiang Yao also guessed it, but still smiled and said: "Just say it."
"Yes." Xi Shan's honest look was a little confused, "The last reason is that I owe the spy eight hundred spiritual jade, so I can just repudiate the debt without paying it back."
"Hahaha!" Jiang Yao laughed.
The other three real people also laughed together.
I can’t tell that this Xishan is still a wonderful person.
Jiang Yao was very happy. He really wanted to sleep and someone gave him a pillow. Just when he was about to create a royal guard, a rare spy talent came to his door.
This Xishan is really an intelligence agent.
"Xishan, do you have a nickname?" Jiang Yao asked.
Xi Shan shook his head: "This junior is from a poor family, and his family is poor, so he has not dared to use the Chinese character "Biao"."
Jiang Yao nodded slightly, while touching Ah Jiu's snake head, he said without any doubt: "Then I will give you a cousin."
Xi Shan was flattered, and he raised his hands in excitement and saluted: "Thank you, Master Military Advisor, I am very grateful to you!"
Jiang Yao stroked his beard and smiled, "The name of Xishan Mountain means that the stream will be dry without water, and the mountain will not be green if the stream is dry. How about I give you a rain farmer? The rain farmer has abundant and abundant water, which just makes up for the shortcomings of the name of Xishan Mountain.
.”
Xi Yunong?
Not bad. Xi Shan was very happy.
"Junior thanks Master Military Advisor for the words!
Jiang Yao solemnly said: "I have always used people without suspicion. Yu Nong, I am selecting talents to form the Jinyi Guards. In order to reward you, the commander of the Jinyi Guards will be handed over to you for the time being!"
What?
The commander of the Jin Yiwei? The Jin Yiwei? sounded very domineering and special, but Xi Shan was confused.
What to do?
However, Xi Shan is obviously a smart man, and he does not need a heavy hammer to play the drum. He immediately thanked him directly: "Master Military Advisor, I am unworthy of such an honor."
No matter whether you are suitable for this position or not, as soon as the superiors say something, you must first agree to it.
"Okay." Jiang Yao was very satisfied with Xi Shan's attitude.
"From today on, you will temporarily act as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and you will have the same rank!"
