Chapter 1073 Ambush

"Brother Zhu, we are a master and a servant, both are martial artists. The young master is very arrogant and doesn't know the way." After the waiter entered the house, he said to the monk lying on the couch.

The others looked at the monk, obviously considering him as the master and waiting for him to speak.

The monk's eyes were bright and gleaming, and he asked, "Could they be Tartars?"

The waiter shook his head, "It shouldn't be. The servant cursed Tartars vigorously, and there was resentment when he mentioned them. It doesn't seem fake."

"Then they are from the six major sects." The monk said confidently, "A stranger who comes here at this time is not a Tartar, and he can't recognize the logo of my sect, and he has martial arts... I just don't know which of the six major sects he is from? How come he came earlier than the group of thief nuns in Emei?"

"Brother Zhu, what should we do?" A tall man with a dark face asked worriedly, "These two people suddenly appeared. Could it be that the thief nuns discovered our ambush?"

"Impossible!" Before the monk could reply, a square-faced man on the other side said firmly, "We set up an ambush according to the marching formation, and there are scouts on all sides. At that time, although the thief nuns are all martial artists, as long as they are close to the bazaar, we will definitely not fail to receive news! These two people were discovered by us after entering the bazaar. There is only one possibility, that is, they came from the west! "

"We only guarded the east and did not set up defenses on the way. It was indeed negligent." Another big-eared man said, "But fortunately, it is not too late to make up for the loss. I have sent a team of scouts to the west."

"West? Kunlun Sect is in the west. Could it be someone from Kunlun Sect?" The guy guessed, "Maybe he came to welcome the thief nun."

"Aren't you tired of guessing?" The last leopard-eyed strong man said impatiently, "If you ask me, just take them down and ask them, won't everything be clear?"

"Brother Zhu, what do you think we should do?" The tall man with a black face looked at the monk again.

The monk suddenly sat up from the bed, spat on the ground, squinted his eyes and asked: "Brother Xu, where are the Emei Sect?"

The square-faced man hurriedly replied: "The news we got half an hour ago, they are still in Banwa, more than 20 miles away from here. They have been traveling all night, and they are exhausted. It will take them at least half an hour to get here."

"Although these Jianghu sects have martial arts skills, they are high-level, but when it comes to fighting between two armies and scouts, they are shit!" The monk sneered and said disdainfully, "Especially that Miejue Yao Ni, relying on her high martial arts, she brought a group of little thieves and came carelessly. How many people died along the way, and she still didn't learn her lesson? Do you really think we are martial arts ruffians who are brave enough to fight her?"

Everyone laughed.

"That old thief Miejue has eyes on her forehead. She looks down on us even after so many people died. I don't think she is the kind of person who can send people to disguise and test us." Fang said the big-eared man.

"Even if she sent someone, it's impossible for them to come from the west." The square-faced man said, "And if she sent someone, she couldn't hide it from us. Unless they were already here before we came here."

"So these two people have nothing to do with the thief nuns?" The man with leopard eyes and round eyes said, "Then what should we do? Ignore them?"

"We can't ignore them. No matter where these two people come from, we can't let them ruin our business!" The monk said, "Although we killed some thief nuns along the way, they are all small characters and not a big achievement. We finally set up We can't let anything go wrong after this trap! Hua Yun and Deng Yu, you two go meet these two people, Tang and Wu Zhen, you also go with us, just in case of any accidents, don't let anything go wrong. "

After arranging these, after the four people left, the monk looked at the square-faced man and said, "Brother Xu, you just reminded me that if someone from the Emei Sect arrives here in advance, our ambush will be a joke."

The square-faced man frowned and said, "We have been ahead of the Emei Sect all the way, and it is impossible for them to bypass us."

"What if they arrived here earlier?" asked the monk.

The square-faced man frowned and said nothing: "It's not impossible... If it's true..."

"If it's true, then what's the point of fighting!" The monk said, "We can run as far as we can. Why fight that old nun Miejue? My head is not as hard as the sword in her hand!"

"That's right." The square-faced man said, "If there are really people from the Emei Sect waiting here in advance, as long as the old nun can't see her people, she will immediately realize that something is wrong. And if they use their tricks against us, we can't beat them head-on..."

"Look!" The monk clapped his hands, "Brother Xu, we are back now to recruit soldiers and show our loyalty. If we don't get anyone and instead die here, it would be a great injustice."

The square-faced man nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll go check it out carefully now."

After the square-faced man left, the monk unplugged the wine bag, "ton ton ton" poured himself a few sips of wine, and then burped comfortably for a long time, with an extremely comfortable expression on his face.

He was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, this is the world of novels, not the world of official history.

He joined the Ming Cult as a member of the White Lotus Sect, and is now the leader of the Fengyang branch of the Hongshui Banner. He is considered a core member of the Ming Cult, not an affiliated peripheral organization.

The news of the six major sects besieging Guangmingding was leaked early, so the Ming Cult ordered the branches all over the world to come to Guangmingding to defend the religion and resist the enemy.

However, since the death of Yang Dingtian, the Ming Cult has been divided into four parts, and the branches in various places almost belong to different camps, and they only follow orders but not announcements.

Later, although Yang Xiao, the Left Envoy of the Bright Sect, temporarily took over the position of the leader and commanded the entire sect, it was a pity that the Five Scattered People did not obey him, and the Five Elements Flags did not completely obey his discipline. Only the four divisions of Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder were loyal to Yang Xiao.

This time, Yang Xiao ordered the local branches to return to Bright Summit to defend the sect and resist the enemy. Most of the branches were unwilling to come back, because the Bright Summit had not given them any help and protection for so many years, but instead caused them trouble and established strong enemies. The upper echelons fought each other and did not care about their lives at all.

In recent years, Yang Xiao used public power for personal gain because of Ji Xiaofu's death, commanding the Ming Sect to fight with the Emei Sect, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Yang Xiao was also widely criticized by the Ming Sect for this move, and was even scolded as "old and without virtue".

With Yang Xiao's prestige so weakened, it became normal for the local branches not to return.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in the Fengyang branch, came all the way to Bright Summit to defend the sect, which was particularly precious.

It was good enough that he came, not to mention that he also harassed Emei Sect all the way and killed dozens of Emei disciples by sneak attack and poisoning.

Now he wanted to ambush the core team of Emei Sect and wanted to inflict heavy damage on them.

If Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded, it was conceivable that he would be favored and valued by the high-level officials in the sect once he returned to Guangmingding.

And this was Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose.

Only if he attracted enough attention and prestige, he could take over the command of thousands of elite soldiers under the Five Elements Flag that he coveted, and get the assistance of highly capable talents such as the Five Scattered People.

As for the power of saving Guangmingding?

I am afraid that except for the high-level officials of the Mingjiao, and the Five Elements Flag and the four sects that were bound to the Mingjiao, no one else wanted the Mingjiao to still exist, including Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the building was about to collapse, and he came here to take the opportunity to gain some reputation, take a few pillars, and then pack some bricks and tiles to leave.

As for repairing the sinking ship of the Mingjiao?

Anyway, he was not interested. Who wants to repair Xiu? He just wanted to get the talents and teams he wanted, return to the south, and continue to fight the Tartars.

The grudges and fights in the rivers and lakes were as ridiculous and childish as children playing house to him.

Those who followed Zhu Yuanzhang were all the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The square-faced man who was proficient in the art of battle formations was his most respected talent Xu Da; the one disguised as a waiter was Deng Yu, the one with leopard eyes and round eyes was Hua Yun, the one with a black face and a tall body was Wu Zhen, and the one with square ears and big ears was Tang He.

This ambush and sneak attack was a long-planned strategy by Zhu Yuanzhang, not a temporary idea.

As early as when the Emei Sect entered the Ganliang Avenue, Zhu Yuanzhang had planned this sneak attack. He sent people to harass the Emei Sect without regard for sacrifice along the way, just to let the arrogant Nun Miejue step into his trap without any defense.

Even Nun Miejue rushed all night because of his calculations.

Nun Miejue knew nothing about all this until now, but was approaching this death trap step by step.

In the original time and space trajectory, Zhu Yuanzhang's sneak attack did not succeed this time. The reason was coincidental. It was their bad luck, and it was also the fate of Emei Sect.

It turned out that Nun Miejue had sent someone to send a letter to Kunlun Sect when she started to contact the six major sects. The letter mentioned that she would visit in person soon to discuss the matter of fighting against the Demon Sect. It was a pre-warning to Kunlun Sect to avoid the temporary absence of Emei Sect and let Miejue come to nothing.

The two Emei disciples who sent the letter did not return to Emei Mountain after delivering the letter. Instead, they followed the order of Nun Miejue to inquire about the news of Mingjiao on the spot and welcome the arrival of the Emei Sect's large army.

They have always kept in touch with Nun Miejue by pigeons, and have long agreed to wait for the master in Niya Bazaar.

In order to avoid accidents, the two Emei disciples disguised themselves as local herdsmen and lived in seclusion here for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang chose this place for the ambush, which meant that all his actions were carried out under the eyes of the two Emei disciples, and there was no secret at all.

The two Emei disciples were also cautious. They had been hiding in the dark and trying to get in touch with Master Miejue, intending to use the trick against them.

But they also underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's caution. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party deduced from the changes in the formation of the Emei Sect that their whereabouts were exposed, so they withdrew decisively.

But in this time and space trajectory, the arrival of the uninvited guest Su Yi triggered some wonderful changes.

At the same time, in a yellow mud house not far from the inn, two Emei female disciples disguised as herdsmen were discussing how to inform their master.

"Senior sister, these must be demons from the Demon Sect. Only demons from the Demon Sect are so despicable and shameless that they actually ambush here and plan to attack our Emei Sect!" The junior sister gritted her teeth and said hatefully.

"Junior sister, we must inform Master and the others as soon as possible, otherwise if Master and the others don't know what's going on and rush in, the consequences will be disastrous!" Senior sister said solemnly.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go quickly, Senior sister!" Junior sister said hurriedly, "Let's pretend to go out to graze and drive the sheep. When we get to the market, we will immediately go east to meet Master and the others!"

"No!" Senior sister rejected it flatly, "The pasture is in the west. If we drive the sheep to the east, even a fool will suspect that there is something wrong with us."

"Then let's not drive the sheep. Let's pretend to go on a long journey!" Junior sister proposed again.

"It's even worse!" Senior Sister shook her head again, "The demons of the Demon Cult have always regarded human life as worthless. They have set up a trap here and will definitely prevent the news from leaking out. When they see someone going east, they will not care whether you are innocent or not. They will definitely kill everyone to eliminate future troubles!"

"This won't work, and that won't work either. What should I do?" Junior Sister said anxiously, "I can't just watch Master and the others get fooled, right?"

"There is only one way, I stay and you go!" Senior Sister's eyes showed determination, "I have a way to let you, Junior Sister, go and join Master and the others, but I must I can't leave... But don't worry, as long as the plan is right, I will just be safe. "

"Wait until you escape and reunite with Master, you will tell Master everything. With Master's temper, he will not let this group of despicable people go easily if he knows that the demons of the Demon Sect dared to set up an ambush here. He will definitely kill them without leaving a single piece of armor! When Master arrives, I can also cooperate with her from inside and outside!"

"Sister, what can I do?"

"..."

Su Yi, who was far away in the inn, stroked the puppet statue hanging around his waist with his hand, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were strange and weird.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, and I was actually involved in such a thing..."

"If it was an ordinary Mingjiao member, it would be fine. Needless to say, Su Yi would also choose to help Emei Sect. But this group of people..."

"And the two Emei female disciples, that sister is quite smart, and she can come up with such a clever way to escape."

"This matter...how to intervene?"

Su Yi pondered slightly, but soon he noticed someone approaching the room.

Su Yi could not help shaking his head after a slight feeling.

It seemed that he had no choice.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door was knocked, and the voice of the waiter came from outside the door.

"Mr. Su? I'm here to bring you food."

Su Nuer was warned by Su Yi, and was full of vigilance at the moment. Hearing this, he subconsciously looked at Su Yi, waiting for Su Yi's instructions.

Su Yi nodded to him and motioned him to open the door.

When Su Nuer opened the door, he saw the waiter holding a tray with a plate of cooked mutton, two large cakes and two bowls of goat milk, standing at the door with a smile.

"Sorry, Mr. Su, it's too early, the stove in the shop hasn't been lit yet, and there are only these cold foods. Look, why don't you eat some first to fill your hunger?"

Su Nuer looked at him coldly without saying anything, but Su Yi looked normal, waved to him, motioning him to come in.

The waiter brought the food in and placed it on the table. He bowed to Su Yi and said, "Mr. Su, the mutton here is really special. You must try it!"
