Chapter 80: Stratagem

Long Xingyun on the other side was not as happy as Ao Zhan thought. Looking at the cheering players on the city wall, Long Xingyun was silent, and even the two sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows.

"Haha, big brother, we succeeded! The first place in the standings is ours. The well-developed Long Ba Fist obviously didn't see that Long Xingyun was not in a good mood, and roared in a shocking voice.

"First? It's too early to tell! Long Xingyun's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a little cold light.

No matter how sluggish Long Baquan was, he felt that something was wrong, "Big brother, isn't the battle over?" We are number one! ”

"Hehe, maybe I'm thinking too much, it's okay, let's go celebrate with everyone." Long Xingyun took a deep breath and smiled at Long Baquan.

Long Baquan scratched his head, smiled, and turned to leave.

Long Xingyun said to himself again: "Is it really that I am thinking too much? But what's going on with this uneasy feeling in my heart? ”

Saying that, Long Xingyun looked at the standings again, his ranking was in the first place, and he looked for Xi Bai's points, which were more than 8,000 points less than him. More than 8,000 points! I guess there is no task reward with so many points.

At the same time, Xi Bai, who had rushed to Nanyang, also heard the system announcement, and couldn't help but open the standings and take a look, and when he saw his points, Xi Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Not to mention the top three, there is no place for him in the top ten. Of course, he also noticed the gap between himself and Long Xingyun now, to be honest, even he himself was not optimistic about this mission.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, there is no other way, except for a road to the dark, maybe there is a little little hope, and if you give up now, there is really no hope at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a lot of food and grass for the Mongolian army ahead, let's talk about what we should do."

Just when Xi Bai was stunned, the old lord Zhao on the side said in a deep voice, although the old lord Zhao made great contributions in the battle to kill the Mongolian vanguard, but now he is not arrogant at all, but asks for everyone's opinions.

Xi Bai came back to his senses, couldn't help but look forward, and gasped at a glance, although he knew that this place could be heavily armed, and the defense was extremely strong, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation.

Hundreds of meters away in front of everyone, is the Mongolian camp, because the sky is getting late, the vision is not very clear, hazy only to see the Mongolian soldiers patrolling by, dozens of meters away there is a watchtower, the Mongolian soldiers on it continue to look at some dark places. Coupled with the dense patrols, it can be said that not a single fly can fly in.

Everyone naturally understood the situation in front of them, and for a while, no one spoke, and the scene fell into silence.

"I don't know if you seniors can listen to me." After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Xi Bai thought for a moment and spoke.

"You? Don't talk nonsense, little doll, no one here eats more salt than you eat. Hearing Xi Bai's words, an old man in gray said disdainfully, obviously not caring about Xi Bai's suggestion at all. Although the others were not sarcastic, they did not take Xi Bai to heart.

Xi Bai thought that this would be the case when he opened his mouth, but he had to say it. Although he has now joined the task, the final reward of this task is related to his performance in the task, and his current points want to compete for the first place in the standings, but not just to participate in the task, if he does not have any outstanding performance, then he will really miss the first place in the standings.

"Hehe, what the old-timers said is naturally, but now everyone has no choice, so what's the point of listening to the next word? Maybe I can give you a little inspiration. Xi Bai's eyes were fixed on the old man in gray, and he didn't back down at all, although this might make everyone think that he was neither big nor small, but if he kept giving in, it would make him even more unimportant.

"You ......"

The gray-clothed old man was just about to speak, but the old lord Zhao on the side waved his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "What this little friend said is that we old bones just ate two more bowls of rice, and Xiaoyou can say what good ideas you have." "Old Lord Zhao's prestige is not small, since he said so, the old man in gray had to snort lightly and kept silent.

"Thank you, Senior Zhao." Xi Bai first saluted Old Lord Zhao, then paused before saying: "The seniors must know very well that the reason why the Mongol army was able to conquer the city was not only by his iron cavalry, but also by relying on their advanced firearms, so that no matter how strong the city wall was, it could not stop their attack. This time they came to attack Xiangyang, and this firearm was naturally a must. ”

Xi Bai paused when he said this, and saw that everyone was thoughtful, obviously attaching great importance to what he said. He also said: "This firearm is naturally the most important thing for the Mongolian army, and no one knows where the Mongolian firearms are. However, according to my speculation, this firearm should be in this Nanyang, together with grain and grass. ”

"After all, food and grass are also indispensable, and the two are equally important, if they are protected separately, it will not only be troublesome, but also consume more troops, so it is better to place them together." This is naturally not just Xi Bai's speculation, but he knows that this is the case in the plot of the novel.

"What Xiaoyou said is very true, but even if we know where this firearm is, we can't use it." Old Master Zhao nodded first, then shook his head and said.

"Hehe, we don't need to use it, just blow them all up, since we can't use it, then we can't let them deal with us."

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard Xi Bai's words.

Xi Bai hurriedly continued: "After we blow up the firearms of the Mongolian army, there will be chaos in this camp, and then we will take the opportunity to burn the grain and grass, and it will be done." ”

"Haha, wonderful! Xiaoyou said it so well. ”

"Yes, Xiaoyou is really smart."

After hearing this, everyone praised Xi Bai's strategy, which made Xi Bai a little uncomfortable, after all, this was not completely thought up by him, but based on the plot of the novel.

"Xiaoyou's method is good, but this blowing up firearms is also not simple, we still know where the grain and grass are, but we don't know where the firearms are, and who should carry out the task of blowing up firearms?" Old Lord Zhao pondered for a moment and put forward the shortcomings.

Indeed, if you want to talk about the location of grain and grass, it can't be hidden at all, after all, there are too many of them, and those black shadows like mountains in the Mongolian camp are enough. But no one knows where the firearm is.

And if you want to blow up these firearms, it is even more difficult, after all, the gunpowder and shells here are enough to blow up Xiangyang City, and if they are blown up here, the power is needless to mention. How can the people who go on a mission escape? Therefore, this task can be said to be a situation of nine deaths and one life, or even ten deaths.

"Whew! Since this plan was conceived by the boy, the implementation was naturally carried out by me. As for the location of the firearms, we can only find them slowly. Xi Bai exhaled deeply and said with a serious face.

But in his heart, he is not as righteous as he became, but this task is not something that can be done just by thinking of ideas, and the task still has to be done in person! "Hey! Looks like my virgin hanging is going to be confessed here. ”

"Hehe, it's good that Xiaoyou has this heart, it's just ...... According to the old man, Xiaoyou's strength may not be enough to complete this task. Old Master Zhao glanced at Xi Bai and shook his head, obviously not at ease with Xi Bai.

These Xi Bai naturally knew that if he was really allowed to go, let alone whether he could find the location of the firearms, he might not even be able to enter the camp, but there was no way.

"Hey, hey! I can't imagine that when I still need this old guy, this little friend, how about letting my old guy accompany you? ”

Xi Bai hadn't opened his mouth yet, only to hear an old voice in the crowd laughing.

When everyone heard the reputation, they saw a thin figure walking out of the crowd, but it was an old man with gray hair, the old man was lying on his back, probably not even one meter and five meters tall, wearing a rag full of patches, and he thought it was an old beggar who didn't know. The face is like a dry orange peel, with ravines and ravines. And the most striking thing is his small eyes, which only have the whites of his eyes, and he can't see the eyeballs, but he is blind.

"Who am I, it turns out to be you, an old blind man." When the chef saw the old man, he was obviously stunned, shook his head, and said inexplicably.

"Little cook, you say, what's wrong with me, old blind man? Am I, the old blind man, the best suited for this task? The old blind man turned his head and looked at the cook with his white-eyed eyes.

"Humph! This task is really suitable for you, but ......" The man cook was called a little cook, but he didn't get angry, and snorted slightly, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old blind man.

"Since I'm suitable, let me and this little friend go. I wonder if this little friend would mind working with me, an old blind man? The old blind man turned to Xi Bai again and asked.

Xi Bai didn't know why, he didn't know who this old man was, at least in the novel, he never saw this character, but from the conversation between him and the chef just now, Xi Bai knew that this old man didn't seem to be simple.

"Boy, let this old fellow go with you, don't look at him blind, his ears are good! And his nose is smarter than a dog, and it is difficult for him to think about such a thing as gunpowder. After all, he was a ...... back then," the chef said on the side, but he didn't know what he thought, and he didn't finish it in the end, just shook his head and sighed.

Although Xi Bai knew that the human chef had other words, but he didn't say anything when he saw that the other party didn't say it, but he also had an understanding of this old blind man, since the human chef said so, it was naturally no problem.

"Where do the old-timers say, the old-timers can afford to look down on the juniors, and it's too late for the juniors to be happy, so this time it's troublesome for the old-timers to go with the kid." Xi Bai didn't care whether the other party could see it or not, he arched his hand at the other party and bowed deeply.
