This was the first thing Li Shizhou heard Qin Fan say, and then he looked at the small pavilion. The area of the pavilion was not large, especially after Qin Fan sat down, there was only room for two people in front of him.
s position.
There were four of them, and judging from their status, Yuhuang Xin naturally occupied one of the seats.
At the same time, as Qin Fan finished speaking, Yuhuang Xin had already taken the first step.
But there was still another seat, and at this moment Li Shizhou hesitated.
He looked at Yu Kuixie and Qi Canqing on both sides, and their eyes also happened to be on him.
When it comes to his status, he, the young marquis who relies on his father's influence, is actually the least qualified to sit in that position.
Due to their strength and influence, the Xichang Changgong and the second elder of the Tianjian Sect appear to be far stronger than him on the surface.
And with Li Shizhou's character, facing an unpredictable opponent like Qin Fan, hiding himself immediately is the most correct choice.
But for some reason, when Yuhuang Xin took three steps, he followed closely.
Vaguely, he felt that if he took a step back at this time, he would no longer have a chance to compete with him. This was an inexplicable feeling, but Li Shizhou believed it firmly.
"You should leave first, we need you for the banquet below." This was the second sentence Qin Fan said, to Ada and Wang Jingyu.
The two of them bowed their hands and quietly retreated without any hesitation.
"Four versus three, we have the advantage in terms of numbers." Yuhuang Xin smiled, and unceremoniously picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.
It's as if she is the owner here at this moment.
"It's all the same, four against three, four against two, four against one. As long as I'm here, the outcome will not change." Qin Fan looked at Yuhuang Xin with a smile and refilled his half-drunk tea.
Man, said softly.
Li Shizhou on the other side did not make any move. Compared to Qin Fan and Yuhuang Xin, who had been in contact with each other thirteen years ago, he was considered a complete outsider.
He needed time to observe Qin Fan, and with the help of the information about Qin Fan that Yuhuang Xin revealed to him along the way, he wanted to find out what role he should play most after sitting in this seat.
So at this time, he put away his usual frank and innocent look and looked at Qin Fan seriously.
Qin Fan smiled slightly at this, which instantly raised his vigilance towards Qin Fan to the highest level!
He heard Yuhuang Xin mention before that Qin Fan's biggest characteristic is that he is fake, his smile is fake, his attitude is fake, and everything he reveals is fake to the extreme!
Under the premise of this understanding, Li Shizhou originally thought that when facing Qin Fan's self-absorbed smile, he would feel indifferent as if he was just sitting back and watching his comical performance.
But it turned out not to be the case!
Even if he knew everything was fake, so what, he was still affected by the other party's affinity!
Li Shizhou was very sure that as this kind and warm feeling continued to deepen, he might unknowingly reveal some information after speaking five sentences!
And to maintain this state of high vigilance all the time is a great torment for the body and mind!
It's like facing a cold winter hidden under the spring breeze. You can feel the coolness of the spring breeze on your face, but you have no way of realizing that your feet have been frozen by the weird coldness!
At this moment, Li Shizhou lowered his head, as if he was carefully distinguishing the type of tea in the tea cup. When his eyes did not meet Qin Fan's, the strange and dangerous feeling disappeared, which made him secretly relieved.
"You are more terrifying than you were thirteen years ago." Yuhuangxin looked at Qin Fan calmly.
Then he looked at Feng Mo behind Qin Fan: "Brother Feng, do you still remember the promise I made thirteen years ago?"
Feng Mo didn't say a word, but looked at Shui Nisheng next to him from time to time. No one could know what he was thinking in his heart.
However, Qin Fan replied very thoughtfully and did not make the situation awkward: "Hey, so I really don't want to face you unless we have to meet."
"Oh? Are you afraid of me?" There was a trace of curiosity on Yuhuang Xin's face.
Qin Fan said helplessly:
"When facing someone who is always thinking about poaching someone, it's natural to be afraid. Especially for someone like you, once you really use any means to do anything, I'm afraid there's no corner in the world that you can't poach."
"Haha, you are exaggerating. Just like Brother Feng, I made three promises to him thirteen years ago, including in the following few years, and I occasionally mentioned it, but he never said it.
Moved.
I am confident that as long as the other person wants something, I can satisfy him or her, and given my status, I am very advantageous in this regard.
But it's a pity that all Brother Feng wants is you, and it's hard for me to change this."
Although this was said with some frustration, Yuhuang Xin seemed to be speaking very calmly.
"In life, all you want is fame, profit, power, and sex. You can even take advantage of the other person's righteousness and affection. Even if it is a stone, a few drops of water will be squeezed out of it when you face it.
And once a person lets go, you can seize the opportunity to explore the obsession in his heart, so it's scary."
When he said this, Qin Fan blinked at Li Shizhou who raised his head again. This meant something, so don't make it too obvious.
Li Shizhou also adjusted his posture at this time and smiled slightly at Qin Fan, showing the nobility and grace that a prince should have.
However, compared to the activity along the way, he was very quiet, just listening to the conversation between Qin Fan and Yu Huangxin, and their verbal exchanges remained at the level of testing.
Thirteen years ago were mentioned many times, but both Qin Fan and Yuhuang Xin kept mentioning them, as if they were deliberately avoiding something.
Until the half-warm tea began to cool down, Qin Fan suddenly hit the point and proposed his first purpose.
"I want the red robe army."
Click!
Yuhuang Xin, who was holding the teacup, crushed it directly, and the look she looked at Qin Fan became dangerous!
This also made the four grand masters standing behind the three of them like background boards immediately release their momentum!
Red thunder and lightning were faintly colliding with each other, and the entire mountain peak began to shake violently. Only the small pavilion remained stable, and the water in the tea cup on the stone table did not even cause a ripple.
"Master Qin, I don't know what's going on down there, it's very lively!" At this time, Li Shizhou said the first words after entering the small pavilion.
It was also because of these words that the originally tense atmosphere disappeared. Both parties stopped with a tacit understanding and looked down the mountain.
The location of this small pavilion overlooks the entire Taoyuan Town. Although the town was built not long ago, the prosperous atmosphere can still be clearly felt.
Especially when you see the rather modern buildings built by the players, this town is filled with a magical sci-fi feel.
"Down below, a banquet is being held. I, Qin Fan, am not stingy with heroes." Qin Fan took a deep look at Yuhuang Xin.
Yuhuang Xin's original solemn look changed and she said softly:
"The Red Robed Army, who are also heroes, are very expensive."
"But it is useless to you now. Ever since I invited you here, you will never have a chance to kill Mo Haolin."
Li Shizhou frowned slightly. The atmosphere that had finally eased showed signs of collapse. He looked at Qin Fan in confusion.
Compared with the harmless appearance shown on the outside, the other party's occasional words are too sharp and direct, and they should not be like this even if they occupy the ground.
"You should have figured this out clearly on the way." But following Qin Fan's words, Li Shizhou gradually understood, and the object of his frown at this time became Jade Phoenix Heart.
He knew a little about the situation of the Red Robed Army, but obviously that wasn't everything.
"Have you met Yu Cangmiao?" Yuhuang Xin suddenly asked.
At the mention of this name, Li Shizhou frowned, but the fear in his eyes became stronger. He didn't know who this fear was for.
"No, but he did the same thing as you, which means he wants to help you."
Yuhuang Xin sneered disdainfully. This was the first time she showed her emotions unabashedly. The previous scene of crushing the tea cup was more like a further test.
"But Mo Haolin is still not dead." Yuhuang Xin's words became much more direct.
"Because I need the red robe army led by Mo Haolin." Qin Fan took a sip of cold tea, frowned slightly, and took out a bag of tea leaves to brew again.
During this process, Yuhuang Xin suddenly stopped talking and turned her gaze down the mountain. In the lively town, a group of players were having a carnival with the townspeople.
The sky was dark, and a large fire had been set up. The orange-red flame looked much brighter than the sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon.
"The power of aliens cannot be underestimated. Although you are trying your best to downplay this point, people who are interested have noticed it, even if there is no trouble from the Ten Thousand Poison Palace this time.
The original victory should also belong to you."
Yuhuang Xin inexplicably said such a topic that had nothing to do with it before, and then moved her eyes to Li Shizhou.
Li Shizhou understood the other person's eyes, stood up and saluted:
"I am very interested in such a lively occasion below. Master Qin may not mind joining me."
"Of course." Qin Fan nodded.
Immediately, Li Shizhou took Qi Cangqing and walked directly down the mountain. To Qin Fan's surprise, Yu Kuixie also followed after receiving the secret instruction from Yuhuang Xin.
"Now the number of people has changed to one to three." Qin Fan chuckled.
"You also said before that as long as you are here, everything will be the same, so I can understand that no matter how the number of people on my side changes, it will not affect the outcome."
"Tell me your price. If you want it, you will give up the entire Red Robe Army."
"We will discuss this matter later. I will give this to you first. The letter written by my grandmother needs you to be handed over to Senior Qin as soon as possible." Yuhuang Xin took out a letter from the space ring and said with a serious expression.
Qin Fan also suppressed his smile. He was respectful and grateful to the Empress Dowager. She was the one who actually dispatched the red robe army thirteen years ago. Although she borrowed Qin Zun's face, this kind of kindness Qin Fan
Fan always keeps it in mind.
"Feng, you go and deliver the letter now."
Feng Mo nodded seriously, but then his body suddenly trembled. With the arrival of Jade Phoenix Heart, he could postpone going to receive Qin Zun's special training from hell.
But now...sheep in the wolf's mouth!
"My lord, your safety..."
"As long as water nirvana exists, no one can hurt me."
Qin Fan coughed a few times. He kept a weak posture, but neither Yuhuang Xin nor Li Shizhou really thought that Qin Fan would be so weak.
Not even a trace of doubt arose in my mind.
Feng Mo had nothing to say after hearing this. He just glared at Shui Nisheng fiercely before leaving, which made Shui Nisheng's expression even more confused.
But fortunately, he was covered by a mask, and his aura of keeping strangers away seemed quite reliable.
"Water Nirvana, fake name." Yuhuang Xin said with certainty.
Then she looked at Feng Mo who was walking away.
"The deaths of Mo Yunlan and Xiang Bohuai some time ago had a great impact.
As a result, many people have overlooked one thing, which is that the young talent who fought with Ying Wuque before that caused both sides to lose, and his name is also Feng Mo."
"so what?"
"But his momentum just now is comparable to that of Xiang Bohuai. For a grandmaster who is less than thirty years old, it will be troublesome if this news is released."
"You won't. After all, we are allies."
"Why did you deliberately put a handle into my hand?"
"Allies should trust each other so that you can rest assured."
Qin Fan smiled lightly, as if he was not worried at all about Feng Mo's exposure. However, in fact, he had nothing to worry about.
Compared to a being who is less than twenty-five years old and can crush hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts with his momentum, a grand master who is less than thirty is nothing. If this news is really spread, it will only make people further doubt the truth of the beast tide war.
At this moment, Yuhuang Xin also wanted to understand this, but she still happily accepted this handle. Perhaps as Qin Fan said, this can be regarded as the first step towards trust.
Moreover, Yuhuang Xin was unwilling to face Qin Fan directly from the beginning to the end, at least not now.
"If you ask Brother Feng to help me, it only takes a year, then I can give up the Red Robe Army."
"no."
"Half a year?"
"The direction you proposed from the beginning was wrong. I will not use 'wind' as a bargaining chip."
"Then what bargaining chip did you originally think you could use to convince me?"
"I'll help you kill someone."
"Who's life and death can be worth the entire Red Robe Army?"
"Many people can do it. The Red Robe Army is only useful in the Xuanyang Region. Even if you kill Mo Haolin, the late Emperor's order will always be there.
This will cost you a lot of time, manpower and resources, so that the Red Robed Army can change its appearance and stand in the sun, which is not worth it."
"Oh? What you said made me a little interested. Tell me carefully about the person you want to kill."
"The chief arrester of the six gates·Sima Kongming."
Yuhuang Xin, who was playing with the teacup, looked stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Fan inexplicably and said, "You originally wanted to kill him?"
"Yes." Qin Fan replied calmly.
"Then this isn't really a deal." Yuhuang Xin shook her head slightly.
"Of course. If you know the time of his death, you can prepare for it in advance. His death is not important in the first place. The position that will be vacated after death is the most important thing.
Now that there are signs of chaos in the court due to Yu Cangmiao's resignation as prime minister, this is your chance."
Yuhuangxin smiled and said: "But you told me everything, so I can make preparations now."
"Then I will kill you again in ten years. I have already waited for thirteen years. It is not a big deal for ten more years. And the preparations you make will further consume your manpower, time and resources until they are all in vain.
Especially now that you know the news, you can't pretend you haven't heard it before, because you know very well how important that position is to you, and it can even be said to be a key step in determining the victory.
But now is an excellent time. I can wait, but you can't.
So from the time I said it, the deal was done.
Unless you go to Sima Kongming and tell him that I want to kill him, but will you?"
Qin Fan calmly raised his tea cup. His smile seemed hateful and cunning to Yuhuang Xin, but it didn't matter.
"We are allies, and I am naturally on your side, so the deal is established." Yuhuang Xin's eyes showed full sincerity.
The two teacups touched lightly and made a pleasant sound.
