Chapter 374 The minority obeys the majority
If you don’t go back for too long, people will definitely notice that Yang Yiyi is missing. Anything that arouses suspicion now is very bad.
So Yang Yiyi stuffed the psychic laser gun into her arms, made sure it couldn't be seen from the outside, and quickly returned to the front hall through the side door.
"What Master Xuanci said makes sense. It is better to deal with the Sirius Sect sooner rather than later. We should act as soon as possible."
Yang Yiyi came back at the right time. At this time, the front hall was discussing how to deal with the Sirius Sect.
The big sects and highly respected figures were all taking the main seats in the front hall, while the small sects, small platoons, and the unofficial folk were listening below, acting as extras and backdrops.
Yang Yiyi came in through the side door and happened to enter a large group of people without attracting any attention.
"But the situation between ourselves and the enemy is unclear, so we should be cautious. Such a big move by the Sirius Sect is obviously not a trivial matter."
The person speaking this time was the Taoist Priest of Yunzhong Temple. Li Chengqi saw that there were extra brackets under his name, which should be the Taoist name, and read 'Qingjingzi'.
I remember that it was this Taoist priest who taught Li Yingluo swordsmanship. Although he was not the leader of Yunzhong Temple, he was still an elder.
"You are so timid, what should you do if the puppies taught by Sirius run away?"
The person who had a dispute with Qingjingzi was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. His name was "Zhou Wenyi" and he was from the Qijue Sect.
Although he dresses like a scholar, he seems to have a very hot temper.
Seeing the smell of gunpowder, Zhou Yuxuan quickly smoothed things over: "Uncle, Taoist Priest Qingjingzi said this not out of fear, but out of consideration."
No wonder they both have the surname Zhou, they seem to be related.
Zhou Wenyi snorted lightly and realized that what he just said was not appropriate. Taoist priest Qingjingzi was indeed a cultivator and did not care about the language problem at all.
If there is a step down, the roundabout can be defeated.
"From what I see, the Sirius Sect is firmly entrenched in the mountains. We don't know the depth of the situation. If we attack rashly, we may suffer heavy casualties."
The person speaking this time was a member of the Liu family, and his name was written as ‘Liu Tianquan’.
"Have you investigated the Sixteenth Village? Is there a way to secretly go up the mountain and directly attack Huanglong?"
Although Li Chengqi has always felt that the Liu family is a bunch of dogecoins, he has to say that Liu Tianquan's words are reasonable.
Jianghu people are not soldiers, they cannot enforce orders and prohibitions, and they are unlikely to cooperate tacitly with people other than their senior brothers.
You know, the biggest difference between the army and well-equipped gangsters is organization. Jianghu people obviously do not have this ability, and they are basically a mess. The only tactic that can be used when summoned is F2A.
"There is indeed a way up the back mountain, but according to our observations, there may be many hidden sentries on the mountain. If we are ambushed halfway through this road, it may be safer than going up from the front."
Judging from this meaning, the Sirius Sect should have occupied a mountain near Liangcheng as a stronghold. The mountain road is difficult to walk and the terrain is complicated. People stick to the mountain and stick to it. If nothing else, just throwing some rolling stones and wood down is enough for this gang. The martial arts man has had a drink.
"This won't work, that won't work either. Should I just wait here and watch?"
Zhou Wenyi does have a hot temper, and he is also impatient and prone to getting angry.
Zhou Yuxuan quickly comforted him;
"Uncle, please be patient. My nephew has sent people to investigate nearby. Important information should be sent back soon."
At this point, a person happened to run in from outside the front hall. He apologized to the people blocking the way, walked quickly to Zhou Yuxuan and whispered a few words in his ear.
You can see Zhou Yuxuan's expression brightening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Good news, the Liuzhou army has begun to take action."
These words caused all the people present to talk about it.
Jianghu people generally do not have anything to do with the imperial court, and vice versa. It seems that something is wrong when the Liuzhou army suddenly starts taking action.
But it actually feels right. Back in Tianshui City, Yang Yiyi met the Sixteenth Village to fight against the Sirius Cult. When she returned, she told Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping exactly what had happened, and they told their father about it. (See Chapter 201 for details)
So strictly speaking, the Liuzhou National Army will be mobilized, which has something to do with Yang Yiyi, but no one at the scene knew this.
In addition, Liuzhou Kingdom itself has noticed some unusual movements. It has been investigating the affairs of the Sirius Sect recently. After locking the location this time, it naturally sent a large army to encircle and suppress them.
Li Yingluo said at the time that the appearance of the Sirius Sect in the Central Plains was by no means a matter for Jianghu people, but also a matter for the imperial court. They would probably work with the countries in the Western Regions to try to overthrow the Central Plains dynasty, which was absolutely intolerable.
The army's actions are obviously faster than those of Jianghu people. They do whatever they say without giving you any chance to discuss.
"Quiet!"
Seeing that the discussion was getting louder and louder, Zhou Wenyi shouted angrily, causing the tiles on the roof to rattle.
This is not any musical skill at all, but simply strong internal strength.
This voice made everyone quiet down, and Zhou Wenyi stood up immediately:
"Now that the military has taken action, what are we waiting for?"
"But the army won't think that we are on the same side as them. If there is a conflict, it will be more troublesome."
It is true that once a war begins, the army cannot tell the difference between the Jianghu and the Sirius Cult. After all, the battlefield is messy, and the Sirius Cult members try their best to disguise themselves as Central Plains people. Unless they look at their faces, it is difficult to tell the difference. .
"How about this? The army is in front, and we are waiting for the opportunity to encircle and suppress the members of the Sirius Sect who may have escaped down the mountain."
"What Taoist Master Qingjingzi said is wrong."
Liu Tianquan said:
"The Heavenly Wolf Sect must have masters in charge. If they focus on breaking out, the army is likely to let the most critical people go. I suggest that while the army attracts the attention of the Sirius Sect, we attack from another direction and try our best to remove all the people. All the puppies from the Sirius Cult are here to stay.”
Liu Tianquan's words caused many Jianghu people to nod in agreement. In essence, everyone believed that this was still a Jianghu matter, and naturally it had to be handled by Jianghu people. They could not control the military's involvement, but it did not conform to the unspoken rules.
That's why Liu Tianquan's proposal made everyone feel reliable.
Li Chengqi, who was watching their conversation, felt that the grandson was really coming for the Sky Stone.
If you are afraid that the masters of the Sirius Sect may escape, then just wait behind the army. There is no need to attack from another direction.
Taoist priest Qingjingzi wanted to reduce the casualty rate among Jianghu people, but Liu Tianquan obviously didn't care about this. Only when the water is muddy can he fish.
If you don't attack, there will be no chance of fishing.
"Amitabha, I don't want to go on a killing spree, nor do I want to see my martial arts colleagues die because of it. If it is as Taoist Master Qingjingzi said, as long as a few of us block the masters of the Sirius Sect."
Master Xuanci, who had been silent, seemed to support Taoist Qingjingzi, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wenyi said again:
"It is impossible for the army to surround a mountain. There will always be some omissions. If the bastards of the Sirius Sect escape, they may endanger the people of our Central Plains. We must not let any of them go."
It seems that Qijuemen supports the Liu family's statement, and now the pressure is on Zhou Yuxuan's side.
If it is a vote, it is now 2V2, regardless of the outcome, the attitude of the Sixteenth Village is crucial.
Originally, such a big event would require at least a visit from the elders of the Sixteenth Village, but something unexpected happened and Zhou Yuxuan had to bite the bullet.
He pondered for a long time, until Zhou Wenyi could hardly hold himself any longer, and then he said:
"The matter is so important that no one can escape."
The results have come out. Master Xuanci and Qingjingzi closed their eyes slightly. Since most of them are in favor of the attack, they will not have any objections.
But having said that, it seems that among the martial arts comrades, they are not monolithic.
