Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 130 The plan was discovered, the hostage was Zhao Min

On the golden boat, Jin Jiu saw everyone below escaping Chongyang Palace, and his smile faded: "Okay, the fun is over, it's time to get down to business."

Dongfang Bubai said, "That kid named Yang Guo was quite clever, but unfortunately, he was just struggling to survive. It was just a farce, meaningless."

Just as Yang Guo realized at this moment, the target of the Sun Moon Sect was the ancient tomb, and it had been like this from the very beginning.

And they are indeed not afraid of Quanzhen.

The reason why Bai Ri sent the visiting card and discussed things politely was simply to paralyze everyone and make them think that the Sun Moon Sect was afraid of the power of the Quanzhen Sect and did not dare to offend them openly.

In this way, these people will feel at ease staying in Chongyang Palace.

The goal of the night operation was not to kill people, but to drive them away.

Drive them out of Chongyang Palace, and then let them know that they can't escape at all. The only place they can hide is the ancient tomb!

In this way, these people will lead the Sun and Moon Sect to find the location of the ancient tomb!
This was the plan that Jinjiu had prepared for the Sun Moon Sect from the beginning.

How difficult is it to find an ancient tomb in the vast Zhongnan Mountains?

Although the Sun and Moon Sect's people could definitely find the ancient tomb if they searched the mountain for a few days, it would still take time.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

If we really spend a few days searching, when we come back, the imperial troops will probably be waiting for us at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, the Sun-Moon Sect must find the ancient tomb as quickly as possible and take away all the weapons and armor!
Of course, Jinjiu’s goal is actually to help Dongfang Bubai eliminate dissidents, so this is just telling Xiang Wentian about Shangguan Yun’s plan.

In addition, he naturally had a plan for these two people.

"Huh? They actually reacted?"

Jin Zhou suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

In the woods below, everyone had already met up with Yue Buqun, Yin Zhiping and others, but they all looked a little unhappy.

Yue Buqun asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

"Oh..." Yue Songtao sighed and told them what happened.

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless for a long time.

"So, all this was their plan?"

"That's it..." Qiu Chuji sighed and said, "Even so, given the current situation, we have no choice but to go!"

Yin Zhiping immediately understood that it was because of these many disciples that they were dragging them down. Otherwise, with the strength of Qiu Chuji and the others, escaping would be a piece of cake. He said, "Master, why don't we fight and run as far as we can..."

Yue Buqun consoled him, "Their target is the weapons and armor, so perhaps they will let us go."

Yang Guo shook his head: "No, they have already offended Quanzhen to death, so they are not afraid of offending more. Of course, it is best to cut the grass and wipe it out completely.

Alas, I was a little proud of myself before, but I didn't expect that my plan would be of no use at all."

Yin Zhiping comforted him, "Young Master Yang, don't blame yourself. Your plan saved many of my Chongyang Palace disciples."

This is true.

Although those people's purpose was to drive them out of Chongyang Palace and force them to hide in the ancient tomb, if they had not taken advantage of the situation and sent away many disciples in Chongyang Palace in advance, then the Sun Moon Sect and those people from all walks of life would probably have killed a group of disciples before.

Even if the rest are not dead, they will inevitably fall into their hands and become hostages.

So Yang Guo’s plan really worked.

Yang Guo said, “So what? It’s just a delay. With so many of us now, we can’t hide our tracks at all. Even more so if we scatter. Once we enter the ancient tomb, those people will follow the tracks and catch up with us. We’ll be caught in a trap and we’ll still die!”

He suddenly paused and said firmly, "We can't just walk into the ancient tomb like this!"

"What?" Everyone looked at Yang Guo.

Yang Guo said: "The current situation is that we are at the mercy of others. The location of the ancient tomb will be our last resort. If we just walk straight to the ancient tomb, won't we lose this last resort?
By then, they will really kill if they want to, without any scruples. And it is very likely that they will actually do it directly!"

After all, those people are not afraid of the threat from the Quanzhen faction at all.

And as I said before, I have already offended him tonight, and the situation cannot be reversed. It is better to kill him and cut off the roots.

Everyone started thinking about it.

"Once we enter the ancient tomb, we will be in a complete dead end, so we must do something with the only thing we have now before that happens!
Otherwise, you will surely die!"

When Liu Yugu heard this, he knew that this young man probably already had an idea.

"how do you want to do it?"

Yang Guo said: "Stop and negotiate with them!"

"Stop? But once we're surrounded by them..."

"This is the only way to save everyone!"

Everyone was silent.

But the current situation is just as Yang Guo said.

If they ignored the disciples and followers and just charged in, that would be fine. But if they wanted to save all of them, then the two sides couldn't fight, and could only negotiate.

the other side.

Shangguan Yun gave the signal and turned to the crowd, "Friends over there, what is your purpose for coming here tonight? Are you here to fight us for weapons and armor?"

Zhao Min's eyes flickered as she spoke, "We have a grudge against the Quanzhen sect, and we've come here tonight specifically to seek revenge. For no other reason than to kill the Seven Quanzhen disciples, we'll be satisfied."

Shangguan Yun said: "In that case, why not merge them together?"

"Okay, but I don't want to reveal my identity."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Min smiled.

interesting.

At this time, the other party did not drive them away, but invited them to join... Could it be that he knew his identity?

Seeing that the other party actually allowed them to hide their identities, I guess that's exactly the case.

After all, they are people from the Yuan Dynasty. If you reveal your identity and cooperate with them, you might be suspected of treason.

But as long as they keep their identities hidden, it doesn't matter.

Several forces gathered together and chased slowly, but suddenly, a ray of fire emerged from the dark woods.

"Huh? Is it them?"

"What does this mean?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Min said, "I'm afraid they're using fire as a lure. Let's go through..."

Xiang Wentian said, "Let the past be the past. Are we afraid of them?"

He then sent someone to command the other soldiers to rush towards the fire together.

When they arrived at the fire, they found that Qiu Chuji and others had cut down trees and set fire to the forest to attract them.

Seeing them coming, Qiu Chuji gritted his teeth and said, "Sun Moon Divine Sect, what a scheme! You actually want me to lead you to find the ancient tomb!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun's hearts skipped a beat.

They know this plan best.

He originally wanted to rush into Chongyang Palace and scare those Quanzhen disciples away and escape into the ancient tomb.

Once the location of the ancient tomb is determined, we will just cut the weeds and kill them all to avoid future troubles.

As for the subsequent retaliation from other Quanzhen factions, that was a matter for the future. However, for some reason, the other party used a trick to fish in troubled waters, allowing a large number of Quanzhen disciples to leave first.

That would be fine, as long as they escape to the ancient tomb.

But now it seems that these people have seen through their plan.

Xiang Wentian reacted quickly and laughed, "Master Changchun is unwilling to take us to the ancient tomb in broad daylight, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

Qiu Chuji said, "Today we have fallen into your trap. If you want to go to the ancient tomb, we will take you there, but I have one condition: you must let all the disciples of my Chongyang Palace go, and you must not hunt us down!"

Xiang Wentian sneered and said, "Now that my army has sealed off the mountain and is encircling us, even if you don't want to go, you have to lead us there. What conditions do you dare to negotiate? If you lead us there honestly, I may spare your lives!"

Qiu Chuji said, "What is your Sun Moon Divine Sect? Do you think I don't know? Either agree to the conditions, or go find it yourself!"

"Humph! A toast doesn't mean you shouldn't drink forfeit. If that's the case, I'll send some men over right now to shoot you all to death. Go find it yourself!"

"Go ahead and kill me! I'll die sooner or later anyway. You can kill my disciples, but you can't kill me, the innate masters. I will definitely escape before that happens, and then cause chaos everywhere to hinder your search for the ancient tomb!

The four great detectives have already left Mount Zhongnan and requested the court to dispatch troops. It depends on whether you can leave this place before the imperial army arrives.

Otherwise, you, the disciples of Chongyang Palace, will also be accompanying me on the road to the underworld!"

Xiang Wentian frowned, thinking to himself, "This Qiu Chuji is only known in the martial arts world for his martial arts prowess and bad temper, but never for his intelligence. How come he not only saw through our intentions but also devised several ways to sabotage them? Now that they're holding us hostage, things are really looking grim!"

"What do you think?" Xiang Wentian asked, "Don't even talk about releasing them. After releasing them, will you still take us to the ancient tomb? If you don't trust me, how can I trust you?"

Qiu Chuji snorted coldly: "Villain's heart!"

Everyone in the world knew that Qiu Chuji was the one who kept his promises, but the Sun Moon Divine Sect refused to believe him, and he had no choice: "What are you going to do?"

"If you lead us to the ancient tomb, I will naturally let you go!"

The two sides exchanged words and discussed the conditions over the air.

But Qiu Chuji soon discovered that the other party had no sincerity in negotiating. Although they said they were negotiating, they were actually just talking in circles and stalling for time.

Seeing the countless torches approaching from a distance, Qiu Chuji immediately understood that they were waiting for someone to come over, so he said, "Your Excellency is completely insincere. You should think it over carefully."

Then he kept silent.

Xiang Wentian realized that his plan had been seen through again, so he said no more and waited until a large group of people arrived and countless torches illuminated the entire forest.

Qiu Chuji just said: "If you let all the disciples of my Chongyang Palace go, we will willingly hand over our weapons and let you surround us, and then we will take you to the ancient tomb.

After arriving at the ancient tomb, we have to leave.

This is my final condition. If we can't reach an agreement, then let's go to war!"

"Don't waste time, just promise them!"

A voice was heard, and then two people wearing red robes, wearing hats and hiding their faces walked out from the crowd.

Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes!"

From their posture, one can tell at a glance that these two people are of extraordinary status.

Zhao Min was very interested and thought to herself: Xiang Wentian is the Right Envoy of Light. The only ones with a higher status than him in the Sun Moon Sect are the Sect Leader Dongfang Bubai and that so-and-so Chief Steward. Who are these two people?
Qiu Chuji and others were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that the Sun Moon Sect had hidden manpower, but they couldn't care less at the moment and immediately arranged for their disciples to prepare to leave.

"Zhiping, if I die today, you will be the next Quanzhen Sect Leader! Let's go. From now on, focus on preserving the inheritance and don't think about anything else!"

"Yes... Master!"

Yue Buqun also let Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong leave.

The two were naturally reluctant to part, but the matter had been discussed before, and now that the time had come, how could they regret it?

We can only leave together.

Guo Fu, Wu Da and Wu Xiao were also among them.

Another quarter of an hour passed before the two men in bamboo hats—the hidden Jin Jiu and Dongfang Bubai—had their identities concealed. Jin Jiu, one of them, spoke up, "Now that your disciples are safe, please surrender your weapons!"

Everyone was stunned and thought that the timing was really good.

Although Yin Zhiping and the others escaped, they must have escaped for some distance, but at this quarter of an hour, if one really wanted to, they could still be caught up.

Moreover, they are now surrounded by enemies, including people from all walks of life and the Yuan Dynasty. There are not only many people, but also many masters. If they take action at this time, they will surely die.

I had no choice but to hand over my weapons obediently.

Then, the masters formed a circle, trapped them inside the circle, and let Qiu Chuji point out the direction before moving forward.

This went on for a long time.

Jin Jiu suddenly laughed and said, "Why is Changchun Zhenren's pace slowing down? Could it be that there is an ancient tomb ahead?"

Qiu Chuji's heart skipped a beat; there was indeed an ancient tomb ahead.

He knew that once they arrived at the ancient tomb, the other party would tear up the agreement, so he was anxious and couldn't help thinking of countermeasures.

As a result, the movement of the feet cannot help but slow down.

I didn't expect it to be like this, and the other party noticed something unusual.

Ginjiu didn't wait for an answer and directly ordered, "Send someone to investigate ahead!"

"Yes!"

Within a few minutes, several people came to report with joy: "We found a large tombstone ahead and found the entrance nearby."

The moment the words fell, Qiu Chuji and others immediately started taking action.

Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun were already prepared, but they found that several people directly rushed towards a group of people on the other side, which was Zhao Min's gang.

Especially Liu Yugu, as a master, although he had no weapons in his hands, his martial arts skills were amazing, and he went straight towards Ada.

Ah Da immediately drew his sword to meet the attack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Min took several steps back.

A cold sword blade touched her neck from behind.

"I'm sorry." Yang Guo said, and then he directly pressed acupoints to subdue Zhao Min.

The action of taking advantage of the situation also brought another benefit, that is, several of them were still wearing night clothes and had not changed.

Just now, Yang Guo pretended to leave with Guo Fu and others.

Although he was very powerful, he looked very young and looked like a younger generation disciple, so no one was suspicious.

Yang Guo then returned and mixed in with the members of the Sun and Moon Sect.

He was wearing a nightgown, and Xiang Wentian, Shangguan Yun, A Da, Zhao Min and many others were also wearing nightgowns. In addition, it was a dim night, and everyone's attention was on Qiu Chuji and others. It was not difficult for him to blend in with them as long as he was low-key and careful.

This move was to seize the current opportunity. By letting Qiu Chuji and others disrupt Zhao Min's men, he could take advantage of this opportunity to get closer and easily capture Zhao Min.

Having achieved his goal, Yang Guo shouted, "Stop!"

"The princess!"

When Ada and others saw this, they were shocked and stopped immediately.

The people from the Sun Moon Sect and all kinds of religions around were watching covetously and did not stop.

Yang Guo held Zhao Min tightly and shouted, "I told you to stop, or I will kill him!"

Jinjiu snorted coldly and said, "Capture them all, leave no one alive!"

Yang Guo hurriedly said, "I told you to stop! Otherwise, she will definitely die!

Hearing this, Jin Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You caught her, why are you asking us to stop?"
