In the guest house, most of the lights have been turned off. Only a room facing the lake still has candles lit, and someone is taking advantage of the night to look at the lake.
"Sister Muse? Aren't you asleep yet?"
There was a knock on the door, and after receiving permission, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old opened the door and asked.
"Well, I always feel that there is danger hidden in the water. It's unsettling." The girl looking out the window turned her head. Her black hair was spread in a bun, and the tips of her hair were slightly fluttering, almost blending into the night.
, the more you look at your face, the more beautiful it will be.
The young man lowered his head slightly, avoiding the eye-catching color, and tried his best to move his gaze towards the window.
Outside the window, apart from the thick darkness of night, there is a pool of faint water. Without the shining of the moonlight, the color of the water is pure black. Everything in the outside world is unknown.
"It seems like there's no chaos?"
The girl stared at the black water and said: "Maybe there is, it is in the reeds, but it is covered by the night."
Suddenly, she smiled and said: "Maybe I'm paranoid. I always feel that it's so noisy in Jichun City, but it shouldn't be so peaceful in Zhuoyu Villa. Although there are often people at the Guest House these days
Missing, I also heard that there are people on the lakeside who are blocking people coming out of the valley, but it is always a small disturbance, and I have never heard of any big riots. I think there may be something big hidden behind it, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
. In short, it is unlikely that everything will go smoothly to the end - this is also my crow's mouth, but I can't let the host hear it. Maybe they can take precautions and nip all these disasters in the bud?"
The young man nodded and said: "Actually, I have always felt that the atmosphere here is very strange. Although the scenery is beautiful, the hospitality is considerate, and there are all kinds of weird things there that make people dazzled. But I have always felt awkward, that
It’s indescribably awkward. It’s as if I feel out of place even standing here.”
The girl pondered: "Actually, I feel the same way. It feels like it's..." She chose her words carefully, "It's very cold."
The young man nodded.
The word "cold" is very strange. In terms of temperature, the climate here is suitable, neither cold nor hot. In terms of human relations, the disciples here are very enthusiastic and smile. They will try their best to do whatever is asked of them. Bai Yushenghui next to him is even more enthusiastic.
The gongs and drums were noisy, the colorful flags were flying, and it was as noisy as the Lantern Festival. Although the auction was postponed, I had never heard of any large or small sales in the past few days. All kinds of magical and dazzling magic tools were directly moved to the booth to bid one by one.
.If this is not called enthusiasm, what else can be called enthusiasm?
However, people like them who have seen a lot can still taste the slightest difference. That is, although the place is lively, it is not lively to the core. The liveliness is just a layer of skin on the outside, but it is cold or even indifferent inside.
These guests have never seen what Zhuoyu Villa is really like.
The girl sighed softly: "It doesn't matter. Whether there is trouble or not, we will see the results tomorrow. If he succeeds then, we will make him a serious swordsmith in the name of Xuanshui Supervisor. Even if the task is completed,
.If it is damaged, we will not come forward and pretend we have never been here."
The young man nodded, and Supervisor Xuan Shui was always doing things like this. It was just the icing on the cake. Then he asked: "If he succeeds in forging the sword and then becomes chaotic, and then there are additional enemies to attack, and they are invincible, do we want to help him?"
"...The girl pondered for a moment and said: "If that's the case, it means that he is already a swordsmith. We should also take care of the swordsmith's affairs. Let's settle the matter for him, and Zhuoyu Villa will be a matter of course.
He is now a member of my Xuanshui Prison. It is a good thing that our Xuanshui Prison territory is being pushed further north."
The young man nodded and looked out the window at the thick night again: "So, let's see if we can get through tonight safely."
"Everyone is here?" A young voice floated in the reeds, faintly like a will-o'-the-wisp in the night wind.
Everyone was silent, and the young man silently counted the number of people, without naming them, but gently unfolded a map.
In the darkness, the lines on the map emitted a faint light, which was not eye-catching and remained at a barely visible level.
"Who else hasn't memorized the map? I brought this version with me, which is the most accurate. I'll give you the last ten breaths to take note of. No one will remind you of the direction when you enter the water."
After ten breaths, the map was rolled up, a blaze of fire lit up, and the map that looked like it was worth a lot was burned to the ground.
"Let me say it for the last time. Our purpose is to respond to the team of Lord Shi Chunqing. They are the main attacker, and we are the auxiliary. We will only succeed if they succeed. If they fail, we will be considered a failure even if we succeed."
No one spoke, no one raised any objections. This was a matter that had been discussed. At most, the rhythm of someone's breathing changed slightly, revealing a little bit of emotional fluctuations.
The young leader was keenly aware of this fluctuation and continued: "There is no need to feel unhappy. The higher-ups know that we are working hard and that we are in danger, so although this time it is only an assist, the credit is the same. According to the plan, we sneaked over and ambush
Near the exit, after getting Shi Chunqing's accurate signal, start setting fires, and then release the phantoms and ferocious beasts, letting them create chaos. Be sure to build momentum and create opportunities for them to make a surprise attack. You can use any means to stir up chaos."
At this time, someone suddenly whispered: "I don't think it will necessarily cause chaos this time. There were a lot of people of all kinds in the guesthouse in the past few days, and some were just idle people who were worried about the world being in chaos. However, in the past few days, there have been many people
Anyone who dared to take action was eliminated. Zhuoyu Villa seemed to have many good players who could also fish. They probably placed a few fake locations that were suspected to be sword furnaces and lured people there to eliminate them one by one. The seedlings that caused trouble were captured.
One less. The guesthouse has been quiet these past two days."
At the end, he couldn't help but said: "If we had stopped those few people from acting rashly in the past two days and left some seeds behind, maybe it would be easier to end the chaos today."
The Lord Protector remained silent, then said: "Are you accusing me?"
The man visibly shrank and shook his head repeatedly. I wonder if anyone saw it in the darkness. The guard continued: "What is the purpose of our going up the mountain at a great cost at a great cost? Is it to protect those people? The enemy of the enemy.
They may not necessarily be friends, but they may also be idiots. If in order to dissuade them, one of us slips up and is caught out by following the clues, who will be responsible? Will you come?"
The man was completely silent, and the guard continued: "If it can't cause chaos, we will cause it ourselves. I have already planted thunderbolt pills in the guest house, and I will only wait for the ferocious beasts to attack everywhere before detonating them, and then add more to Zhuoyu Villa.
A fire. As the saying goes, when everyone adds firewood, the flames are high. Tonight, Zhuoyu Villa must be completely burned!"... When they heard this sentence, everyone was stunned, then became excited, and grinned unconsciously.
, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.
The leader gave the last order: "You are not allowed to take action until you obey my orders. When Shi Chunqing arrives, I am not allowed to move without giving orders. Check the equipment again."
Everyone lowered their heads, checked their cages, boxes and fire starters, and wrapped them up layer by layer. They now looked like men, women, old and young, and some were even dying, but their movements were uniform at this time, and they were obviously well-trained. Of course.
, it also feels somewhat inconsistent.
Finally, the leader said: "Get into the water."
This group of people did not actually take a boat. They entered the water one by one, without even showing their heads, and turned into lines of water and swam to the east of the water.
They barely made any sound, and in the darkness, they could only observe a trace of ripples. Even the Young Superintendent of Xuanshui Prison, who was looking from a distance at night, could not guess that these fatal dangers were already hidden in the water.
--
It's almost there, Hua Qian said to herself while silently counting the time.
It was already late at night, and a group of about ten people, led by Shi Chunqing, sneaked up the waterway.
Hua Qian never imagined that there was such an underground river deep in Jiugao Mountain, which could lead directly to the depths of the swamp of Zhuoyu Villa.
Going upstream along the waterway, you can reach the villa directly in only a short time. According to Shi Chunqing, when he escaped from Zhuoyu Villa, he dived into the water and went down the river. He returned to the mountains in one day, completely evading all pursuit.
soldiers.
Although there seemed to be no pursuers at all.
In short, this waterway is the most secret passage, like a sharp knife inserted into the heart of Zhuoyu Villa.
It’s just that the road is very difficult to walk. At first, the water channel is wide and fashionable, and you can take a boat upstream. However, in the second half of the journey, the cave is so narrow that it is no longer possible for small boats to pass. Shi Chunqing gave an order, and everyone abandoned the boat, changed to the water, and dived into the water.
Swim up.
Hua Qian really has a toothache. His water skills are only average and he can barely paddle. It is really difficult to swim in such dark waterways. However, there is no room for him to hesitate at this time. It is not a task or a task, but he is surrounded by people who are ready to go.
The enemy has no room for him to escape.
Fortunately, he was not completely incapable of swimming. With his superb internal skills, he did not need to take frequent breaths. He gritted his teeth and dived in the water. There were people walking with him in front and behind him, so he was not afraid of getting lost.
Finally, the water flow in front slowed down and seemed to enter the wide water surface from the river channel.
Just when he was about to go up to take a breath, he heard Shi Chunqing calmly whisper in his ear: "Don't float up, take a deep breath, and keep moving forward under the water. Follow me and sneak directly into the vicinity of Gongyu Pavilion to land."
In other words, we have arrived at Zhuoyu Villa now, right? After all the hard work, we have reached the end.
Hua Qian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved after completing the task, and then pressed a magic device in his sleeve.
Where no one cares, there is a glimmer of light.
The message has been sent.
"Attention, the time has come." The guard who was hiding under the water like duckweed suddenly stood up and shouted: "Do it."
A blaze of fire ignited from the surface of the water. Regardless of the incompatibility of water and fire, it burned brighter and brighter, dyeing the sky red!
Those waiting in the water all stood up, opened their equipment within the specified time, and released various sources of trouble.
Suddenly, flames, smoke, ferocious beasts, and phantoms all came together.
Chaos is about to begin!
