As midnight approached, the night became pitch black.
To the west of where Juyi Alliance is located, there is still a bright bonfire.
On the flat ground on the hillside, Ge Rong walked back and forth in a small area, clenching his fists behind his back to hide the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
Although everything was planned, he also expected that with Nong Chuanmu's eloquence and ability, he would be able to make the four factions relent, but he still couldn't rest assured until he heard the exact result, for fear that something unexpected would happen.
Ge Rong knew that he couldn't afford to gamble, so he could only win this game, not lose!
Standing still on his feet, he looked anxiously into the distance. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps in front of him. Immediately, a figure walked through the jungle and came to the ground. It was a short figure with an excited face. It was not Nong Chuanmu.
"Kawaki, how did things go?" Seeing the other party's expression, Ge Rong already knew what was going on, but he still couldn't help but want to hear the answer.
Nongchuan Muchao looked around, clasped his fists and whispered: "Don't worry, Master, Xu Yang and others have agreed, and we have made an appointment to meet at the mulberry forest in the distance tomorrow at midnight."
"Okay, you did a good job!"
Ge Rong took a deep breath and fisted his hands excitedly. The uneasiness and fear lingering in his heart finally disappeared after hearing these words.
Convincing the four factions is the most difficult and important part of the entire plan. As long as this part is solved, Ge Rong firmly believes that with his ability and skill, the remaining steps will not go wrong.
Next, he only needs to follow the steps and discuss the specific details with the four factions, and then he can find an opportunity to escape. By then, he will have the dirty information of the four factions. As long as he does not show up, they will not dare to mess with his power.
!
Nong Chuanmu couldn't help but remind: "Master, those people from the four factions are not good people. You have to be more careful in the meeting tomorrow."
After recovering from his high mood, Ge Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, if they dare to cheat tomorrow, I won't be easy to bully."
Early the next morning.
In the name of preventing the four factions from sneak attacks, Ge Rong continued to order his men to search and guard in the west. With Fan Xiaotian's response from the north, he took the opportunity to sneak into the mulberry forest alone.
He looked around for a while to make sure there was no ambush, then found a high ground to wait, feeling extremely nervous.
Not long after, four elders representing the four sects also flew over from the opposite side. The two sides quickly saw each other, standing three feet apart, each on guard and watching.
…
For several days, Juyi League and the four factions were in peace.
In particular, the men of Ge Rong and Fan Xiaotian continued to send messages to other allies every day, claiming that the four factions were quiet and had absolutely no intention of attacking.
After repeated propaganda intentionally or unintentionally, and the situation between the two sides was indeed very peaceful, many people were paralyzed and began to believe Ge Rong's words. They believed that the four factions were incapable of taking over the Juyi Alliance, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Naturally, the atmosphere in the entire Juyi Alliance slowly relaxed. Even Wei Chen and others did not doubt that he had adapted to this situation.
The spies came as usual and reported on each day's situation.
"Are you saying that there is still no movement from the four factions and they are not continuing to break the formation?" Zhuo Mufeng sat against a tree and raised his eyes to ask the spies.
The spy nodded: "Reporting to the alliance leader, this has been the case for several days in a row."
After hearing this, Zhuo Mufeng pondered for a moment, waved his hand and ordered him to leave, and said to himself: "There seems to be something wrong."
Lin Bai and Wu Yinyin were sitting on the left and right sides. After hearing this, they both looked at him curiously. Lin Bai couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhuo Mufeng frowned slightly: "The four factions should have known that we were stationed here with such a big fanfare. With the four factions' behavior, do you think they will be indifferent?"
Lin Bai thought for a while and said: "Because they can't do anything to us. The warriors of the controlled sects were injured too much, leaving only those who can move freely. The four sects were afraid of us and did not dare to let them break the formation again, so they had to stand still.
, isn’t this normal?”
Zhuo Mufeng: "Even so, they shouldn't even fart. It's too quiet."
Wu Yinyin and Lin Bai both felt funny. Isn't this the best result? Could it be that this eldest brother still expects others to call him?
This time it was Wu Yinyin who spoke: "They know that threats are useless, so naturally they won't waste their words. Brother, don't think too much."
This explanation is quite reasonable, but after all, Wu Yinyin and Lin Bai have never been in top forces, and they still don't understand how much top forces value face and dignity.
The four factions had lost such a big face that day. Under normal circumstances, they would never have been able to endure it until now. The more helpless they were, the more they would show their majesty by showing off their teeth and claws!
To be so calm and patient, unless, unless they are planning something, or have a strong back-up plan?
The more Zhuo Mufeng thought about it, the more something was wrong. It was about the safety of everyone present, so he couldn't help but asked quickly: "Fourth sister, has anything suspicious happened recently?"
Hearing this, Wu Yinyin once again felt that her elder brother was too suspicious, but while secretly laughing, she also felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.
In Sanyizhuang before, neither Wei Chen nor Lin Bai were considered qualified superiors, so she, a woman, had to worry about many things.
But these days, staying with Shi Xiaocao, she found that this elder brother could think more and be more cautious than her. After exchanging some ideas with him, they became more complete and stable, making her feel that everything was under control.
middle.
Upon hearing Zhuo Mufeng's question, Wu Yinyin quickly said: "According to the spies' report, there is nothing suspicious."
Zhuo Mufeng thought to himself, could it be that he was overthinking? He also knew that he had always been very suspicious, and sometimes he would think about things for a long time that clearly did not need to be considered, causing him to be very preoccupied. Unfortunately, this bad habit may be very serious.
It's hard to change.
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but laugh at himself: "It seems that Brother Yu was scared out of his wits by the four factions."
"Pfft."
Wu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh out loud. When Lin Bai saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Fourth sister, why are you laughing? Brother is thinking about our safety!"
Wu Yinyin waved her hands and said: "I am not Brother Xiao, I am Xiao Ge Rong and Fan Xiaotian. Those two guys are more exaggerated than Brother Xiao. They order people to search the position they are guarding every day, for fear that the four factions will launch a sneak attack."
This matter had already spread in Juyi League, but because it was normal, Zhuo Mufeng was not told specifically before.
There is nothing wrong with these words to other people's ears, but it should not fall into the ears of the paranoid Zhuo Mufeng, who immediately asked: "Why don't I know about this? They do this every day?"
"Yes, it started from the night we were stationed. We check in the morning, noon and evening every day, and they are all at fixed times."
Wu Yinyin laughed, but when she saw Zhuo Mufeng's serious expression, she couldn't help but froze, thinking to herself, is there something wrong?
Ge Rong's face appeared in Zhuo Mufeng's mind.
It was the other party who suggested staying that day, and he acted confidently and courageously. Of course, the current search does not mean anything. At best, it is caution.
But the problem is that it was Ge Rong who took the initiative to guard the west side. If the other party was so afraid of the four factions, why would they choose the most dangerous west side?
Could it be that he was sacrificing himself for the sake of gathering the Yi Alliance? Zhuo Mufeng absolutely did not believe this reason.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. However, his long-term habit made him find that he didn't dare to ignore even the smallest suspicion.
Although he didn't understand Ge Rong's thoughts and couldn't tell what was suspicious about the other party, Zhuo Mufeng thought for a moment and said: "Send the order, and the guards on all sides will immediately change their positions. This time we will be stationed on the west side."
Wu Yinyin and Lin Bai looked at each other in surprise, and their hearts were shocked. Wu Yinyin asked anxiously: "Did brother discover something?"
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head silently. He did this just out of instinct to test Ge Rong.
Seeing that he couldn't explain, but his attitude was very firm, Wu Yinyin didn't ask any more questions. It wasn't a big deal anyway, so she immediately went down to give the order.
It is conceivable that when the order was conveyed to Ge Rong and Fan Xiaotian, they both broke out in a cold sweat. They thought the matter was exposed and quickly asked Wu Yinyin why.
At this time, Wu Yinyin's intelligence was revealed.
Although she didn't know the reason why Zhuo Mufeng did this, she would not tell anyone else. Instead, she smiled and said: "Deputy Leader Ge, Deputy Leader Fan, your location is the closest to Longmen and the most dangerous. Leader thinks that everyone should
We share the risk, so let’s do it this time.”
When Ge Rong heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He didn't expect Shi Xiaocao to be so loyal. The problem was that he had discussed it with the four factions, and now he suddenly changed positions, and the plan still didn't go wrong!
Ge Rong tried his best to hide the panic in his heart and said with a forced smile: "Nvxia Wu, there is no need to be like this. Please tell the leader that Ge is willing to take the lead for the Juyi Alliance."
Fan Xiaotian also said: "Does the alliance leader look down on us by doing this?"
Wu Yinyin comforted the two of them: "Don't misunderstand me, I just want to be fair in everything. There is no reason to keep you in the most dangerous place."
Ge Rong and Fan Xiaotian still pretended to decline, but they could not withstand Wu Yinyin's repeated persuasion. They did not dare to act too much for fear of arousing suspicion, so in the end they had to sigh with emotion: "The leader is really a gentleman!" In fact, they wanted to kill Zhuo in their hearts.
Mufeng stabbed him to death.
While the four parties changed positions, Wu Yinyin reported the situation to Zhuo Mufeng in detail.
"They didn't insist anymore?"
"I agreed after a few words of evasion."
Nodding, Zhuo Mufeng did not continue to dwell on the matter. After reaching the high slope to the west, he quickly sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing, continuing to prepare for breaking through to the second level of the Star Bridge Realm.
However, this time, Wu Yinyin became suspicious. Perhaps women are more observant. Thinking of the expressions of Ge Rong and Fan Xiaotian, she always felt that something was wrong.
So she called the confidants of Sanyizhuang and asked them to notify the hidden stakes placed in Ge Rong and Fan Xiaotian's team, pay close attention to the movements of the two of them and their confidants, and report any disturbance immediately.
At the same time, the two Ge Rong who were transferred to the east and south were naturally anxious. Ge Rong asked Nong Chuanmu to set off that night and go to Longmen to inform the matter and delay the action.
