Yanyulou's farewell banquet was not very extravagant. After all, he was going to Songfeng Mountain to kill the mountain lord, so he still had to hide it from others.
The entire upper echelons of Yanyulou who learned the news were placed under semi-house arrest in a house outside Qihu Lake. No one knew whether there were nails bought by Songfengshan at a large price, so Yu Cheng ordered them to supervise each other.
In addition, nearly a hundred experts were arranged to lurk around.
On the balcony of the island in the middle of the lake, Zhang Wu, Qian Erye, the two deputy owners of Yanyulou, and Yu Cheng were drinking light sake. In front of them were several specialty side dishes from Yu Cheng's private chef.
During the dinner, there were sounds of chewing, clinking of bowls and chopsticks, sounds of pouring wine, and sounds of drinking, but no one spoke. It was Yu Cheng who tried to warm up the scene first, filled the wine glass and greeted Erye Qian:
"Brother Qian, we said goodbye two years ago, and today we have reached a higher level. It's really gratifying."
"You're welcome, Mr. Yu." Mr. Qian said this, but he didn't hide his cold tone at all.
Wu Changbo on the side suddenly changed his color, and Zhao Wu, who had a violent temper, blew his beard and glared. If he had the two axes in his hand, he would attack them without any hesitation.
Although the strength of Yanyu Tower has been severely damaged, the pillars of the building are still there. It is still not comparable to that of several second-rate Jianghu sects in Jiangzhou. Now someone is so unkind to the owner of the building that he calls the two deputy officers on the side.
How can the landlord endure it?
"Master Yu, I don't have much money to waste. I just want to ask, if we are defeated and die, how will the Yanyu Tower and the Zhang family gun be saved? What will Master Yu do?"
Yu Cheng, who had not been able to get a full night's sleep for an unknown number of days, drank a glass of wine, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened a bit as he frowned:
"A backup plan? I don't have a backup plan."
"Has there been any detailed planning to ensure nothing goes wrong?"
"nor."
"Then are we looking for death? If Yanyulou wants to die, why bother to pull the Zhang family's gun?!"
Mr. Qian's eyes widened with anger. If his eyes could kill a six-story martial artist, then Yu Cheng would have been dead to death.
Wu Changbo and Zhao Wu, the two deputy owners of Yanyu Building, saw that Mr. Qian was so unscrupulous. The former was relatively calm, but the latter had already pointed at Mr. Qian and cursed:
"You are a bunch of straight-faced thieves, how dare you do this to my brother, the host, I'll see if my two precious little axes don't chop you into pieces!"
Mr. Qian was not someone to be trifled with either, and there was a tense situation at the table.
"Zhao Wu!"
"Qiancai!"
Two sharp shouts from Zhang Wu and Yu Cheng pulled the two people back to their seats who were eager to fight. However, the originally harmonious atmosphere at the table disappeared immediately after this commotion.
The clouds dispersed.
"Master Yu, I, Zhang Wu, am just an ordinary warrior with some marksmanship. I barely know a thing or two about strategy. However, even I, an old man, understand the importance of being prepared. There are many soldiers on Songfeng Mountain, so if we gather people to set up defenses on the mountain.
..."
"You and I both know that the fifth and sixth floors of martial arts are far from the peak. Not to mention the tens of thousands of enemies rumored in the world, it is difficult to defeat even a hundred people."
"Since Songfeng Mountain can send so many people to die, how can there be less guards at the mountain gate."
Zhang Wu had not read many books, and what he told was true. As the deputy owner of Yanyu Building, Wu Changbo could not help but agree with him.
As the think tank of Yanyu Building, before Wu Changbo proposed to the building owner Yu Cheng to assassinate Gao Xu, he gathered enough information and gathered the few mathematicians in Yanyu Building and went through repeated deductions before completing several plans.
, the result presented to the poster, Yu Chengan, was modified several times a few years ago.
But he didn't choose any of them.
Previously, Wu Changbo thought that the poster was far-sighted and had already planned a perfect strategy. But today, the deputy poster, who is both civil and military, sadly discovered that the poster was really unprepared...
"Everyone here must be dissatisfied with me for being unprepared." Yu Cheng filled his cup again, drank it all, then threw the empty cup to the ground, pointing at the broken porcelain on the ground and said:
"I, Yu Cheng, swear by my martial arts that if I have any intention of harming others, I will not be allowed to go further than this in this life, and I will die without a complete body."
Taking an oath to martial arts is already extremely serious, and coupled with the words that follow, it is enough to prove that he has no sinister intentions.
"Master Yu, Zhang Jiaqiang and Yanyulou are now in a leaky boat. If you are not careful, there is a danger of capsizing. My disciple was a little anxious earlier. Please forgive me, Master Yu."
"What Zhang said is wrong. We are about to become a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Yu Cheng said with relief, "Since even the elder uncle has some doubts, I might as well make it clear."
"There is a spy in the building."
After these words were spoken, needless to say, the two deputy landlords at the table, Qian Erye and Zhang Wu, both looked solemn.
It is normal for the two largest Jianghu sects in Jiangzhou to arrange some tricks for each other. In the previous battles between Yanyulou and Songfengshan, each had a winner or a loser, and most of them were due to these tricks.
It's just that Songfengshan and Yanyulou have been fighting openly and secretly for nearly three years. The secrets of both sects have either been exposed and treated as abandoned sons, or they have retired and turned their backs on their sects, and they have been dormant to this day...
Everyone at the table shuddered.
Yu Chang, who held his forehead with his fist, let out a sigh of relief: "Originally, I thought that the previous two top-down cleanings were thorough enough.
After all, it wasn’t until a few days ago, thanks to old hero Zhang, that he completely restrained an assassin before he took the poison, and it took a lot of effort to pry this news out of his mouth.”
Mr. Qian shuddered. Not long after he came here, he went to see the assassin who was under strict guard in the water prison under the island in the middle of the lake. If that lump of rotten flesh with no human shape could be called a "human"
After reading this, he vomited all the food from the previous day. One can imagine what methods Yanyulou used to get this news from this person...
"The suspicion of lower status among the disciples in the building can be completely ruled out. Other than that, anyone else is possible."
....
With a plop, Wu Changbo knelt down and said, "Master, my eldest brother will let you be driven by him, and you will never have any second thoughts. I ask you to be more careful."
Zhao Wu on the side also made the same move, but the former would never speak like this, "Me too."
"Hero Zhang, this is the reason why Yu Cheng did not adopt any one-person strategy." Yu Cheng raised his hand to let the two men stand up and then said to Zhang Wu.
"Master Yu had good intentions, but the old man was rude. In this case, how are you and I going to kill Gao Xu?"
"Just kill them all the way. With the strength of today's manpower, it is not difficult to kill Gao Xu. Once Gao Xu dies, the dragons in Songfeng Mountain will be leaderless, and Yanyu Tower's chances of winning will be much higher. Uncle Chang has already contacted the mathematicians in the building.
We have formulated a strategy for the Yanyu Building after all three of us are killed in battle. As long as the disciples in the building act according to this, they will unify the Jiangzhou and Jianghu, and self-protection will not be a problem. "
After that, Gao Xu picked up an empty cup, filled it and held it up.
"Let's go to Songfeng Mountain. It's extremely difficult for the five of us to get together here. I would like to ask you to have a full cup of wine."
