Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Secret Story of Asking for Help (Monday's Red Envelope Full of 500 Plus More)
In Wen Quai's heart, there is a line that has been drawn very clearly, and there is no room for the slightest blurred behavior of crossing the line, that is, the difference between friend and foe, some of them may temporarily turn enemies into friends, or pull over for short-term cooperation, the ultimate goal is still to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and destroy it, and some enemies do not even have such a possibility, and they will be eliminated if they encounter it.
But now, the strange and silent attitude of the ghost clan, and the pressure caused by it, made Wen Quzhi seriously consider letting go of the principles of the past, even if it was an enemy who should have been directly eliminated, he could talk about cooperation first, so as to use all the available resources to help his brother succeed.
Of course, some enemies are destined to be nothing to talk about, because some people simply turn their faces faster than themselves, and they will start first before they get the immediate benefits, so even if their heads are caught in the door, Wen Quzhi will not try to win over Kang Jinlong, this is a person who can't be trusted at all, and he even has a hunch that the demons are now cooperating with Death Yao, and sooner or later they will fall into the frieze!
Shang Gaiyong's problem has been placed in front of him, and other things can naturally only be put aside first, and Wen Quzhi can only bury his anxiety and irritability about Long Yun'er's whereabouts deep in his heart first, and treat it as if he didn't see it for the time being, as for Sima Bingxin's whereabouts, it is really purely a moral responsibility, and it will only be placed in the end.
...... However, even Wen Quzhi himself didn't expect that some people were destined to get involved in some problems, and some problems were not just set aside, they could be solved, and they could be left alone.
And this problem that Wen Qu doesn't want to take care of is gradually heating up, waiting to explode......
“...... It's so messy that I feel that there are not just two people telling the story behind this, but a group of people, who are so idle and spreading so many rumors behind their backs. ”
With a hat and veil, Sima Bingxin walked on the road, next to Long Ling'er, who had also been simply disguised, and the two pretended to be ordinary Jianghu guests who had just stayed next to a restaurant for half an hour, not only listening to the storyteller tell the latest stories about the rivers and lakes, but also secretly listening to the chatter of other guests.
It sounds ridiculous to collect intelligence by listening to gossip, but it is the safest first step in collecting intelligence recognized by the old rivers and lakes. Unless they have the means to a reliable intelligence system, otherwise, ordinary people who go to the intelligence agency to buy information are likely to directly expose their own traces, and before they leave the door of the intelligence agency, their latest whereabouts will be sold as intelligence.
Nowadays, the duckweed house, which sells the most widely in the mainland's intelligence business, is one of the nine foreign roads, and a big reason is that no matter who pays a high enough price, there is nothing that it can't sell, and Sima Bingxin doesn't want to be stupid enough to deliver it to the door and expose his whereabouts and purpose.
And only listening to this moment of gossip outside, Sima Bingxin has a number of the current situation in his heart, although the gossip in the rivers and lakes has always spread quickly, it can be so far away from the birthplace, but it is still spread in one direction in unison, if you want to say that no one is operating behind this, who believes it?
“...... You usually only care about your own cultivation, and you don't understand the sophistication of these people on the rivers and lakes, and I've seen a lot of things like this. Sima Bingxin directly turned on the old Jianghu mode and began to teach by word and deed, "Don't look at my sister, I seem to have a false reputation now, in fact, I am often hacked, and often some people are unbalanced in their hearts, thinking that why do I have the status of the rivers and lakes now, so I deliberately spread rumors to hack me, and now I can hear it with one ear, what rumors are being spread behind someone's back, and what is just a simple mouth......"
As he walked, Sima Bingxin was originally spontaneously rising, but suddenly found that his companions around him were absent-minded, and couldn't help frowning: "Sister of the Long family, I'm talking to you, it's very rude for you to be like this!"
"I'm sorry!" Long Ling'er hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm just...... Saw something and something strange. ”
"What's strange?" Sima Bingxin's gossip heart was stirred up at once, but fortunately he still remembered to maintain his fairy demeanor, and hurriedly coughed lightly, "But is there any problem, do you need my sister's help?"
"Don't dare to have Sister Lao Bingxin. Long Ling'er said cautiously: "It's just that I just passed by a few street corners, and I saw the distress signals of my disciples, and they were very sloppy, as if things were ......urgent."
"What?"
Sima Bingxin blurted out in surprise, "Don't be fooled, Sister Ling'er, it's all routines here, you usually only care about cultivation, you don't understand the world, and you don't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister now, and bad people will use all kinds of methods to lure you into the trap set up, among which using the distress signal of the same door as bait is the mainstream!"
“...... How can it be so simple?"
Long Ling'er said with a smile: "Sister Bingxin, you are too worried, the secret record of this sect's contact is confidential, and outsiders will not easily know it, and it is ......"
Looking left and right, Long Ling'er deliberately used the secret method to transmit the sound, "This is a secret that outsiders don't know, in addition to the special contact secret mark in this door, there is also a special verification method behind it, if the disciple falls into the enemy's hand, he can leak the contact secret mark when necessary, and if the enemy uses the contact secret mark, but he doesn't know the verification method, naturally he can't verify it in the end, then it means that this is a trap set by outsiders, we can contact the helper to take the opportunity to fight back, before Xingyue Lake and Huanxi Courtyard Many people were planted in our hands like this...... Originally, this was not allowed to be told to outsiders, but Sister Bingxin is not like outsiders, so please keep it secret later. ”
Sima Bingxin was secretly shocked when he heard this, the Heaven Dou Sword Pavilion was worthy of being a female sect, and there were so many hearts and eyes, compared to the Nine Outer Dao.
Long Ling'er smiled and said calmly: "Actually, there is no need to keep secrets, the Sima family is a famous family, and there must be precautions in this regard. ”
"Uh...... This ......"
Seeing Sima Bing's dumbfounded appearance, Long Ling'er said curiously: "Isn't it? The Sima family doesn't have an additional verification method to contact the secret record? Isn't that dangerous, in case the enemy sets up a trick ......?"
"Hahaha, how is this possible? Our Sima family has a hundred or dozens of verification methods, I don't know how thorough, and even take the opportunity to transmit the enemy's information, Pingyang Sima, inherited for a long time, is a well-known name in the rivers and lakes, the wisdom of the ancestors...... Alas, not comparable to the petty factions and the nouveau riche. ”
...... Just kidding, do you have to honestly admit at this time that your family members are straight and reckless, and even the eighteen generations of ancestors are the same straight lines, this kind of heart and means, even if it is passed on to the eighteen generations, it is impossible to think of it.
...... After so many generations of accumulation, if you admit it, even your ancestors will be embarrassed, and you can only mix it up.
Sima Bingxin laughed dryly, hurriedly covered up the matter, and said, "Then let's go quickly, since you have confidence, let's go and have a look together." ”
Long Ling'er hesitated: "Shall we go and say hello to Xiaoshu first......?"
“...... Yes, but she is still in the Sealing Sword Alliance, so you can go directly to her, can your hidden identity be exposed?" Sima Bingxin said lightly: "And didn't you send a distress code from the same door?" Are you sure you can afford to wait?"
Being said this, Long Ling'er was also uneasy, and decided to set off immediately, and rushed to the location suggested in the secret note with Sima Bingxin.
The two women's feet are fast, and it didn't take much effort to get out of the capital of Qian, and rush to a small wharf in the northeast of it, where some ships will dock and unload, although the volume is not very large, but there is a row of warehouses, and also supports a group of employees.
"It seems to be a strange situation!"
Long Ling'er hid sideways behind a stack of cargo boxes, looked at the situation on the other side of the warehouse, looked at it for a while, and turned back to Sima Bingxin and said: "On the corner of the outer wall of the warehouse, there is a secret mark of the sect calling for help, indicating that a disciple of the sect has been injured, and now he has hidden in the warehouse, waiting for the rescue of the master, but in the opposite corner, there is no other mark...... It's not right. ”
Sima Bingxin said calmly: "I said it a long time ago, all this is a routine! There is nothing to be afraid of, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, no matter what kind of enemy he is, he is chasing your fellow door, we are now Huang Que behind, rush out and kill him without leaving a piece of armor...... Well, I mean, give them the punishment they deserve. ”
Long Ling'er hesitated slightly, feeling that it didn't seem like a good idea to kill him directly, but Sima Bingxin next to him had already started to prepare for the battle by himself.
...... The first thing to consider is which cards you have in your hand that can be used and which ones you can't!
...... The rules I learned from the Wen family are that if you can fight, you must pretend that you can't fight and be ready to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and if you can't fight, you must pretend to be very good at fighting, bluff others, and always keep the trump card at hand that can turn the tables and reverse, and even if you can't beat people, you can scare people to death.
...... You can continue to use the bipolar wheel and thunder to attack and defend, but you can't be careless, if the situation is not right, you must be prepared to take out the artifact.
...... Besides......
While Sima Bingxin was preparing, he also kept taking out various objects from his arms, including some rings, bracelets or something, and kept putting them on his hands, but Long Ling'er next to him was dumbfounded.
With Long Ling'er's eyesight, of course, he could see that these jewels were not ordinary, they were all equipment with their own functions, and a few of them were still ground-level treasures, which were very valuable.
Moreover, after these rings and bracelets are all worn, the energy is excited, and the function is not only not interfered with each other, but even faintly complements each other, this must be a set made by a famous artist, not a mass-produced product, the actual value has to be turned up one layer more, so a series of objects add up, even if the price does not break 10,000 gold coins, at least it is nearly 10,000.
