Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 14 Discussion before the war

Zhao Mu heard the other party speak, and immediately stood up and said: "I have been entertained by the prince these days. I deeply appreciate the 'hospitality' of Dali country. Since I was entertained by the master, how could Zhao Mu not reciprocate? It's just that I have received Dali's hospitality." .”

Duan Zhengchun and his wife's hearts froze when they heard that Zhao Mu seemed to have conditions. However, Duan Zhengchun also made up his mind. If he was willing to help, it would be okay to pay some price. After all, Duan Yu is the future crown prince of Dali. The Duan family's family tradition and the safety of the Dali prince must not be in danger.

Zhao Mu changed his words and then said: "As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. The four villains are highly skilled in martial arts, so this matter should not be taken carelessly. My lord, you must tell me the whole story and let me be prepared."

Hearing what Zhao Mu said, Duan Zhengchun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Duan Zhengchun had doubts, Dao Baifeng had told Zhao Mu the whole story just now, and Zhu Danchen did not feel that anything Zhao Mu said was true after verification. Although this was a family scandal, he still wanted to make friends with a Central Plains hero like Zhao Mu. So he told Zhao Mu everything that happened in the past two days.

From that night when Duan Yu was captured by the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, to their previous trip to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations to fight Qin Hongmian and others, and to the fight between Emperor Baoding of Dali and Duan Yanqing, Zhao Mu was informed of everything.

But Duan Zhengchun still concealed some details, such as Duan Yanqing's true identity. He just reported that the leader of the four evil men had very high martial arts skills, and even Emperor Baoding could not resist him.

Concealing Duan Yanqing's identity was the last warning against Zhao Mu. After all, Gao Shengtai had noticed Zhao Mu's extraordinary origin before. If Duan Yanqing's secrets were told to the other party, and if the Song Dynasty supported Duan Yanqing's restoration, then Dali would be in trouble.

After Zhao Mu listened, he paced back and forth in front of the couple. He pretended to think for a while and then said: "This matter is really difficult. There are many masters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. In my opinion, this matter is impossible." The enemy can only be outmaneuvered."

"Outwit?" Dao Baifeng murmured, "How to outwit?"

Zhao Mu said: "Let's not talk about the martial arts of the four evil men and the masters in the valley. Even though I can surpass the others in skill, the crown prince and the princess are serving as hostages in their hands. If they want to hold them hostage, they will not be able to escape easily. . We threw a rat-proof weapon, but we couldn't use it. Look, let's rescue the prince first. Then, with the combined efforts of all of us, it won't be difficult to repel the four evil men."

After hearing what Zhao Mu said, Duan Zhengchun and his wife nodded.

In order to continue to gain trust, Zhao Mu handed over his hand and said: "I am willing to help the prince to rescue the prince, but I also have an unmerciful request, please help the prince."

After hearing this, Duan Zhengchun also stood up and returned the courtesy and said: "I, Mr. Duan of Dali, are willing to make Mr. Zhao a friend. I don't know what difficulties Mr. Zhao has, so just ask."

So Zhao Mu talked about going to Wuliang Mountain in Dali again.

Duan Zhengchun laughed when he heard this and said: "This matter is easy to handle, easy to handle. When he has free time, Duan will send his guards to escort the young master there."

When Zhao Mu heard this, he also raised his hands and said, "In that case, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

After reaching an agreement with Zhao Mu, Duan Zhengchun and his wife returned to the palace without further delay to inform Duan Zhengming, planning to come up with a rescue plan.

That night, Master Huang Mei, invited by Duan Zhengming, as well as the Three Dukes of Dali, including Zhao Mu, gathered in the Zhennan Palace to discuss a plan to rescue Duan Yu.

Now Duan Zhengming is here, he is the emperor, and everyone else is his ministers. No one dared to speak first unless the emperor spoke first. But after Zhao Mu looked around at everyone, he was the first to stand up.

"Everyone, the prince has already told me everything about what happened before. The matter of rescuing the prince cannot be delayed. However, the four evil men are highly skilled in martial arts, and there are many masters in the valley to help. I am afraid that this matter cannot be done by force, but by outsmarting them. "

Although the Three Dukes of Dali were disgusted with Zhao Mu's behavior as a child and being disrespectful in front of the king.

But Zhao Mu was a foreign aid invited by Zhennan Wang and his wife, so it was hard for the three men to blame him.

Immediately, Batianshi asked: "As my brother Zhu said before, Mr. Zhao seems to know a lot about the four evil people. How much does he know? Although we have fought against him, there is no harm in knowing more about him. I also ask Mr. Zhao to give me some advice."

Zhao Mu also heard the bad intentions in Batianshi's mouth. He pretended to say: "I don't know much about them. I just heard about their bad reputation. They are the key criminals for whom the Song Dynasty government is offering rewards. , so I know more about it than others. Since Mr. Ba asked, there is no harm in talking about it."

"Let's talk about Yun Zhonghe first. He ranks fourth among the Four Evil Men, nicknamed 'The Extremely Evil'. This thief is a famous flower-picking thief. His Qing Gong is unparalleled. It is rare in the world. This thief only has extremely high Qing Gong, but his martial arts is mediocre. Normally, it’s nothing to worry about.”

If Zhu Danchen hadn't seen what Zhao Mu was capable of that day, everyone might have laughed out loud when they heard Zhao Mu, a young man in his early twenties, say such "arrogant words".

Zhao Mu continued to introduce: "The third oldest thief is called the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, nicknamed 'The Fierce God and the Evil Demon'. This thief's surname is Yue, but his name is unknown. He is arrogant and has weird martial arts. He claims to be from the 'Ten Thousand Crocodile Island' in the South China Sea and is good at making magic." A pair of golden dragon scissors. This thief is not bad at martial arts, and his attacks are very ruthless. He will use his scissors to cut off other people's heads at every turn. However, although this thief is fierce, his mind is not very good. It is not a cause for concern. "

"And among the four evil people, Ye Erniang, who ranks second, is nicknamed 'Do All Evil'. She is also the only woman among the four evil people. Her origins are mysterious, and I don't know much about her. However, her martial arts skills are extremely high. And she likes to steal babies very much. All the babies she steals are killed after she gets tired of playing with them, and no one survives. She is well-deserved for her reputation of committing all kinds of evil."

Having said this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but grit his teeth. He had read some explanations, and they all said that except for Yun Zhonghe, all the four evil people were pitiful people, and even the Crocodile God of the South China Sea was a "hero" who respected his teachers and moral principles.

After reading the explanations of these marketing accounts, he couldn't help laughing.

The initiator of Ye Erniang's tragedy was her husband, Abbot Xuanci. It was Xiao Yuanshan, a highly skilled martial artist. She was powerless and unable to take revenge, but she began to torture innocent babies. How could such people who bully good and fear evil be pitiful?

As for the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, although he respected his teachers and respected his teachings, he was moody and killed innocent people indiscriminately. How many innocent people died under his golden dragon's scissors? If just because he did one good thing before he died, all the thousands of bad things he had done before would be wiped out. Anyone who follows this logic should let him explain to the victim’s family.

As for Duan Yanqing, he is almost the same as the South China Sea Crocodile God. There are countless bones behind the nickname that is full of evil.

At the end, Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "As for the last leader of the four evil men, I don't know much about him. Although this man is crippled, he has extremely high martial arts skills. Masters from the Imperial City Division and Kaifeng Mansion of the Song Dynasty once rounded up He had beaten him, but without exception, they all died at his hands. So for many years, the Song Dynasty court had no information about him. But the martial arts he used seemed to be the Yiyang Finger of the Duan family in Dali!"
