Chapter five hundred and forty second: the overall situation is the most important
"Fuck you!!!"
Due to the close distance, even though the bespectacled man whispered, his words were still heard by Yao Fujiang who was very close. Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Yao Fujiang, who had just been sitting on the ground to rest, became furious on the spot! He was so angry that he was completely and utterly furious.
Angry, he stood up from the ground like a spring and suddenly punched the man with glasses!
As mentioned above, Yao Fujiang was indeed angry to the extreme. In addition to being angry at the other party for saying something offending, it was more because he understood the other party's plan, figured out that the other party was vicious, and still deceived him even though he knew that there were terrible evil soldiers on the other side.
He went to die, and even Chen Xiaoyao's so-called initiative to lure away the swarms was most likely planned by the guy in front of him.
He was lucky enough to escape due to some unknown reason, but he never expected that the man with glasses would say such nonsense right after he came back!
bump!
The next second, his fist hit the target and hit Zhao Ping on the left side of his face!
Da, da da da.
Because of his sudden movement, Zhao Ping was caught off guard by Yao Fujiang without any defense. Unfortunately, because his body had been exhausted for a long time and he had very little physical energy left, although he hit the target, the punch that hit the man was very powerful.
Minus, Zhao Ping just staggered back a few steps, but Yao Fujiang, who was hitting the person, staggered to the ground due to his unstable center of gravity.
Plop.
………
In a rage, Yao Fujiang punched Zhao Ping in a surprise attack, punching the man he had hated for a long time.
He swayed and fell to the ground due to physical weakness.
Silence, silence, under the dark moonlight, the edge of the woods was silent for a while.
A few seconds later, Zhao Ping reached out and touched his face. Zhao Ping turned his gaze to the opposite side again, looking at Yao Fujiang. Perhaps out of anger, when he saw the man with glasses glancing at him, the boy with a flat head still glared back with angry eyes.
"Boy, I won't argue with you this time. If you dare to attack me again, I won't let you go so easily next time."
Listening to Zhao Ping's cold words full of warnings, Yao Fujiang was not only not afraid, but also became more and more angry. This bastard was too shameless. He first tricked his teammates, but when he found out that his teammates were not dead, not only did he not feel any guilt at all, but
To have that kind of attitude as a matter of course is really intolerable!
(asshole!)
So, while his anger was rising, Yao Fujiang ignored the warning of the bespectacled man and took action. The hand he placed behind his back to support his body slowly moved and touched a stone about the size of his palm.
Then, hold the stone tightly in your hand out of sight of the opponent!
Obviously, the young man has lost his mind. I believe it won't be long before he sees the right moment and suddenly breaks out and hits the opponent's head with the stone in his hand.
As for Zhao Ping, although the man's face was expressionless, his right hand reached into his arms at some point...
Then……
"Yeah!"
There was silence for a few seconds. Suddenly, Yao Fujiang took the lead. After letting out a loud shout, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards Zhao Ping. During the charge, the stone in the young man's hand was lifted high. At the same time, he saw that the other party ignored the warning and insisted on attacking.
, Opposite me, Zhao Ping's eyes flashed with cold light, his right shoulder moved slightly, and the right hand that he had earlier extended into his arms seemed to be taking out something!
but……
Whoosh!
Seeing that the internal barring was about to begin, seeing that the situation was irreversible, at the critical moment, with a slight whistling sound, a figure jumped out of the woods behind him. The figure moved extremely fast. As soon as the figure appeared, it ducked in front of him at an astonishing speed that ordinary people could not match, and ran to the two sides.
Among them, Yao Fujiang grabbed a stone from Yao Fujiang's hand and threw it at Zhao Ping's head, grabbing the young man's wrist tightly.
Because the night was too dark and the environment was not clear, in the flash of lightning, just when Yao Fujiang's wrist was caught, the metal object that reflected the black and cold light under a certain moonlight also stopped moving forward, and was finally stuffed back into the arms of the man with glasses.
"stop!"
Yao Fujiang was startled by the sudden shouting. When he saw his wrist being grabbed, he suddenly came back to his senses. When he turned his eyes, he saw that someone had appeared at some point. A familiar guy appeared between him and the man with glasses.
Um?
Seeing this, the expression of the young man with a flat head froze. He opened his eyes and observed carefully, only to confirm that he was not dazzled or mistaken, because the guy in front of him at this moment did indeed look familiar. He was indeed an acquaintance who was too familiar to be familiar.
"Chen, Chen Xiaoyao!?"
After fully seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Yao Fujiang was so shocked that he couldn't help but blurt out the person's name in an instant.
Yes, the person who appeared in front of him was none other than Chen Xiaoyao, the young Taoist priest who had been chased by Yin soldiers earlier and whose life or death was uncertain!
It is said that a person's nature is easy to change but hard to change. Regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, at least it is tailor-made for Chen Xiaoyao. Seeing Yao Fujiang in front of him with a confused look on his face, and seeing Zhao Pingping showing a strange look, Chen Xiaoyao smiled.
, first snatched the stone from the young man's hand and threw it to the roadside, raised his hand to stroke the bangs on his forehead, and finally replied triumphantly: "Yes! He is indeed a handsome guy. Brother Fu Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is it?"
Miss me?"
(Yes, it’s this product, it’s definitely this product, it can’t be fake!)
Seeing Chen Xiaoyao's full face, Yao Fujiang instantly confirmed that the person in front of him was 100% Taoist Chen, and was undoubtedly authentic. Not to mention the real feeling when his wrist was caught just now, just the way he acted was enough.
Proving the guess result, although it is not denied that the charm of the hawk can change its disguise, the hawk
Charming but unable to disguise the person's personality. As expected, after confirming Chen Xiaoyao's identity, the flat-headed young man was surprised and happy. He was happy that the other person was not dead and safe. What was surprising was why the other person was alive? Didn't the man with glasses say this?
Have you ever been chased by a large group of Yin soldiers? Why now...
No, no, not safe and sound, not unscathed. As the observation continued and his eyes wandered, Yao Fujiang soon discovered something. He saw that Chen Xiaoyao's left arm was wrapped in a bandage, and the middle was full of red. The bright red blood was just like this.
It was clearly displayed in the field of vision, and was watched by Yao Fujiang and Zhao Ping.
Chen Xiaoyao was injured.
"You, you're not dead? There's also the injury on your left arm..." Out of confusion, he ignored the other person's teasing, and Yao Fujiang subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, asking about the doubts in his mind.
As mentioned before, because he has always doubted the character of the man with glasses and has always distrusted this man, Yao Fujiang had already guessed part of the answer when he was surrounded by eight Yin soldiers. He guessed that in addition to himself being deceived, Chen Xiaoyao should also be deceived by Zhao.
It's a good deal. After all, Chen Xiaoyao is a Taoist priest. Logically speaking, he should be better than himself.
I have a better understanding of the horror of the Yin soldiers. Unless the other party plans to commit suicide, he will never take the initiative to take the crazy action of luring away the Yin soldiers. Will Chen Xiaoyao commit suicide? The answer is no. If it is no, why is he still killed by a large group of Yin soldiers in the end?
Soldiers chasing him? There is no doubt that the most likely possibility is that he was tricked by Zhao Ping.
There were no blind people at the scene. The boy with a flat head could notice that the other person was injured, but how could the man with glasses not see the bloody bandage? The only strange thing was that when faced with Chen Xiaoyao's sudden appearance, Zhao Ping, who should have been more surprised, did not react as much as Yao Fujiang.
Except for the strange look on his face at the beginning, there was no reaction after that, and the whole person remained silent from beginning to end.
Back to the topic, facing the flat-headed young man's repeated questions, Chen Xiaoyao remained cool and calm. He turned his eyes and glanced at Zhao Ping opposite him. He immediately raised his right hand and patted Yao Fujiang's shoulder. While patting him, he answered with a smile on his face.
It was enough to make everyone present feel surprised: "As I expected, brother Fu Jiang, you should have learned from Senior Zhao
You learned that I took the initiative to lead away the Yin soldiers. And Fu Jiang, brother, what are you talking about? How could I die? Hey, isn't it just to lure away a group of Yin soldiers? Let me lead them away first with my poor skills.
There was no problem in escaping in the end, but I suffered a little injury during the process, nothing serious. Overall, the task of attracting lobsters was successfully completed, hahaha!"
What!?
Yao Fujiang was dumbfounded.
Just like his eyes wide open at the moment, after listening to the other party's answer, the boy with a flat head fell into a state of astonishment. Yes, he heard some clues in Chen Xiaoyao's words just now, and then got a completely opposite to his earlier guess.
answer.
Xu suspected that he had heard wrongly and was stunned for a moment. Before Chen Xiaoyao could finish his laughter, the next moment, the young man opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth again: "What do you mean? Could it be that you took the initiative to lead away the Yin soldiers?"
"
"Huh?"
Seeing Yao Fujiang's unbelievable expression of surprise and scratching his head, Chen Xiaoyao asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Yes, it must have been my initiative. Earlier, when Senior Zhao and I discovered that there was a large amount of underworld near the mound,
After the war, I offered to lead him away, and then Senior Zhao took the opportunity to go to the Judge Temple to get the soul-calling flag. Now I
I came back after completing the mission, but I found that Senior Zhao still hadn’t left. In addition, I also found that you appeared out of nowhere. It’s a coincidence that I saw you and Senior Zhao having a fierce fight just after I returned.
Fortunately, I stopped him in time... Oh, I almost forgot to ask, what's going on with you two? Could it be that Senior Zhao doesn't pay back the money and plans to default on it?"
After hearing this, let's not talk about Yao Fujiang's shock and confusion for the moment. After he said the above 'true answer' with a natural expression, he smiled and ignored Yao Fujiang. The young Taoist priest moved slightly, turned around and said with a slightly deeper meaning.
He looked across the way, staring at Zhao Ping.
As for the man with glasses...
Zhao Ping was as calm as ever when he caught the young man's gaze. The man was not suspicious of why Chen Xiaoyao didn't go out of his way to settle accounts with him after returning, nor was he surprised because the other party not only did not settle accounts with him but helped him cover up his lies, nor did he act like Yao Fujiang.
He was stunned and confused. He just turned his head and looked at each other. Like Chen Xiaoyao, they looked at each other without saying a word.
They looked at each other for a moment, and after a few seconds, the man reacted, as if he had completely forgotten that he had pretended to be sick earlier, he raised his hand to adjust the bridge of his nose and glasses, and finally opened his mouth and asked: "Lead away the large army of Yin soldiers.
?”
(Oops! These Zhao glasses are so...so extraordinary. How thick-skinned do you have to be?)
Seeing that the bespectacled man did not show any surprise or guilt on his face, but instead pretended to be nothing, dropped everything and talked about the topic. Chen Xiaoyao couldn't help but curled his lips and cursed in his heart, but in the end he nodded in affirmative and replied: "Yes,
The wave of yin soldiers who initially chased me has been led several miles away, and I took the opportunity to turn back after it was over. I guess those bastards won't be able to come back for a while."
Staring at the two people in front of him and listening to the conversation, at this moment, Yao Fujiang was surprised to find that his earlier personal guess was completely wrong? It seemed that Zhao Ping had not tricked Chen Xiaoyao, and the task of luring away the Yin soldiers was
It was Chen Xiaoyao who took the initiative to take the responsibility. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyao survived. If what happened was really like this, that means... I wrongly blamed Zhao Ping?
how so?
Is this possible?
Is it impossible? If it's impossible, why would Chen Xiaoyao...
At the same time, when Yao Fujiang was standing aside and struggling alone, Xu Shi noticed something from the tangled expression of the flat-headed young man. After answering Zhao Ping's question, with a slight smile on his lips, Chen Xiaoyao walked back to the young man and looked Yao Fujiang up and down.
, finally patted his head
He showed a look of sudden realization: "Ah, I understand, brother Fu Jiang, look at your appearance, did you just think that I was tricked to death by Senior Zhao, so I fought hard with him? Hey!
I really can’t see that brother, you actually care about my safety, hehe!"
"Get out of here, how is that possible? I'm so angry because I was tricked by him!"
"Oh? What do you think of this?"
After hearing Yao Fujiang's answer, Chen Xiaoyao looked back at Zhao Ping again, and then asked Yao Fujiang curiously: "Huh? You said that Senior Zhao tricked you, tell me."
………
Everything has a reason, and every problem has a cause and effect. It is true that for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao never went to Zhao Ping to settle the score and further lied to Fang Fang. However, the fact that Yao Fujiang was cheated cannot be concealed. This is true, and the reality is also
In this way, under the curious inquiry of the young Taoist priest, with full of anger, Yao Fujiang could say that he knew everything.
A few minutes later, Yao Fujiang described all the details of how Zhao Ping tricked him into going to the Judge's Temple even though he knew there were Yin soldiers in Tuqiu, from being deceived to being surrounded by Yin soldiers to having a lucky escape, etc. At the end, he did not forget to add that Zhao Ping once said
All kinds of wonderful remarks about why he refused to go because he was afraid of death.
With indignation, the flat-headed young man told the truth. As for the people around him...
During the narration process, neither Chen Xiaoyao in front of him nor Zhao Ping across from him had ever interrupted or talked. They were both listening silently, listening to what happened at the grave, and listening to what happened before and after, until the entire process was narrated.
When Yao Fujiang finished narrating, Chen Xiaoyao instantly understood what was going on.
(Hey! Zhao Jingshu, you can do it. It’s not in vain that I deliberately dragged you to the real world, let alone that I dragged you to Yinshan with all my strength. This trick only takes seconds. Once your plan is executed, Yao Fujiang and I will
In this way, they both became chess pieces unknowingly. In addition,
I still didn’t expect that your improvised plan would eventually turn into a sophisticated layout that would allow you to obtain the Soul Calling Banner. Tsk tsk, dragging you to Yinshan is really worth the money, but your methods are a bit... forget it.
, anyway, this guy is this kind of person.)
Yes, in fact, he had already guessed it as early as the moment Chen Xiaoyao got rid of the Yin soldiers and returned here. Obviously, with Yao Fujiang's character, if the young man was not deceived, the other party would definitely not be so excited that he would fight with the man with glasses. As for Yao Fujiang's character,
Why didn't he expose Zhao Ping earlier and instead lied for the man in front of Yao Fujiang? The main reason came from two considerations.
First, he didn't want Yao Fujiang to know about such an embarrassing thing. After all, he always wanted to save face, and it would be a bit embarrassing to tell the truth anyway.
Of course, this is not the key point. The key point lies in the second reason, which is also the most important key reason, that is... unity!
There is no doubt that Chen Xiaoyao clearly recognizes the current situation, sees the reality clearly, and has a clearer understanding of what the current executor should do most, and what should he do? The answer is undoubtedly to take action before the Yin soldiers return, and then obtain
Soul-Calling Banner, once the executor gets involved, the situation is doomed
It will become uncontrollable. What is needed at this moment is not internal fighting, but unity. The most important thing now is for the three of them to unite and find a way to get the Soul Calling Banner. In other words, it is not the time to break up with Zhao Ping at all.
, I don’t deny that the person who was almost cheated to death was the same as Yao Fujiang.
He was angry in his heart, but after careful consideration, the young Taoist priest finally decided to endure this tone. The overall situation must be grasped no matter what, so this is why Chen Xiaoyao never mentioned the past as if he had amnesia since he appeared.
Forget about Zhao Ping cheating on him before
After finding out the real reason why he even took the initiative to cover for the other party, to say the least, the reason why Zhao Ping cheated him and Yao Fujiang was still to obtain the Soul-Calling Flag, which was the only thing that could save He Fei. The three of them risked
He came to Yinshan Mountain just to find this thing.
With this in mind, for the sake of unity and the overall situation, he must endure it no matter what, he can only endure it, even if the man with glasses deceives everyone.
Chen Xiaoyao thinks like this, why doesn't Zhao Ping think the same way?
It is conceivable that with the wisdom of the man with glasses, how could the man fail to take into account the things that Chen Xiaoyao can think of? Perhaps this is the main reason why the man looked normal when the young Taoist priests pretended to be stupid.
It has been mentioned many times in the past that communication between smart people is very simple and direct in some cases, and sometimes even no words are needed. Both parties can understand each other's meaning just by looking at each other or moving.
However, because of his quick thinking and good thinking, after listening to Yao Fujiang's narration, Zhao Ping discovered something and discovered a strange detail.
Adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose and ignoring the young man's eyes that were still glaring at him, Zhao Ping asked first: "You said those eight Yin soldiers just surrounded you, but they didn't kill you?"
Although he was full of dissatisfaction, Yao Fujiang could understand the urgency of the situation when it came to business, and he suppressed his anger and nodded truthfully, indicating that what he said was true.
Seeing the other party nodding and frowning slightly, Zhao Ping looked at Chen Xiaoyao again, but...
Who would have thought that when his eyes turned to Chen Xiaoyao, he saw that the young Taoist priest had an expression of shock and eyes wide open, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation. He was staring at him with his mouth wide open as if he were looking at a monster, staring straight at Yao Fujiang.
It has never been transferred from beginning to end.
Maybe he felt uncomfortable because of Chen Xiaoyao's strange gaze. Finally, Yao Fujiang couldn't help it anymore, and then asked with a puzzled expression: "You, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like this? You are sick.
Right you?"
"Damn it! How could this happen? Yao Fujiang, you are not a relative or descendant of the general in the tomb, are you?"
"Huh? What? What relatives and descendants? What are you talking about?"
"What the hell? I've been in front of a general's grave just like you before, and I've also been surrounded by eight Yin soldiers. However, after those Yin soldiers surrounded me, they raised their swords and chopped me down without saying a word! Mom!
Damn it, if I hadn't been so strong and able to escape in time, I would have been hacked to death by those monsters long ago. But, but you, why didn't the Yin soldiers kill you? Why did they show you mercy? In the end, they still watched helplessly.
Are you trying to escape back?"
There is absolutely no lie in telling the truth. It is indeed as Chen Xiaoyao said above. After learning from Yao Fujiang that the Yin soldiers did not kill the opponent, the young Taoist priest has been in a state of sluggish stupor. He finally regained consciousness and shouted, except for the content in his tone.
His expression showed surprise and disbelief. He knew that Yao
It was impossible for Fu Jiang to lie, and what he said was absolutely true, but it was precisely because of this that the shock to Chen Xiaoyao was so great. After all, he did not understand, and did not understand the abnormality of the eight Yin soldiers guarding him. Why? Why Yin?
When the soldiers saw him swinging their swords, they slashed, but when they encountered Yao Fujiang, they never attacked him from beginning to end!?
Why? Why on earth is this? Could it be that Yao Fujiang is really a relative and descendant of the Ming Dynasty general soldier, so he was lenient and showed mercy?
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be a relative or descendant of the general in the grave, let alone why those sinister soldiers let me go? Even I can't figure out the answer myself, huh? By the way, you just said
What is that mound? The general's tomb? What is it?"
After listening to the other party's answer and facing the young man's rhetorical question, Chen Xiaoyao did not speak or explain. He just subconsciously looked at Zhao Ping after listening to the other party's narration. Then, as the two sides looked at each other, after a moment, the two of them actually
Each found a hint of joy in each other's eyes!
Happy? Why happy?
The answer is obvious. First of all, it can be determined that Yao Fujiang is definitely not a relative or descendant of the general in the tomb. Since he is not, then the reason why the flat-headed young man did not die is a bit strange. The only explanation is...
When passing by the grave, that is, when Yao Fujiang was surrounded by 8 Yin soldiers, he must have done something to cause the Yin soldiers' attack to stop. Yes, although the Yin soldiers are not worms, they are still spiritual bodies like worms, and
There is undoubtedly a huge difference between spiritual bodies and humans, and some things cannot be viewed with common sense. As described above, Yao Fujiang
The reason why he was not surrounded to death was definitely not because the Yin soldiers stopped their attacks because of their good intentions, but in all likelihood it came from some kind of factor, some unknown factor. In his panic, Yao Fujiang must have done something, which in turn led to the death of 8 people who should have seen each other.
The Yin soldier guard who was about to kill him stopped inexplicably and gave up. Yao Fujiang narrowly escaped death by chance and saved his life.
What is it?
What did you do during this period?
What caused the Yin soldiers to lose their movements and stop attacking?
Sure enough, when they thought of the key, the next moment, both Chen Xiaoyao and Zhao Ping, without exception, fell into deep thought.
