Chapter 51 Secret Plot
The place where the wedding procession is located.

While Zhao Xinghan was fighting desperately, Gao Yao was also in a tough battle.

If he was just a first-rate warrior, even if he was stronger, even if Gao Yao couldn't use his hands, with his "A World Away" body skills, he would be able to escape.

But the trouble is, there is another master of the spirit refining lineage in secret.

Not only did he (she) restrain the guards from the Marquis' Mansion who came to support him, but he (she) also used Taoist magic to control and slow down Gao Yao's movements from time to time.

If Gao Yao hadn't also been in the reverse meridians, he would have started to fight desperately.

Gao Yao had been captured long ago.

"You are no match for me!

Give it your all! "

The masked man looked at Gao Yao's hands, which were still clasped together, with an unhappy tone.

It is not known whether the masked man thought that Gao Yao was looking down on him, or intended to provoke Gao Yao to separate his hands to confirm whether the fire lotus was really in Gao Yao's hands.

“Stop talking!
Seize the opportunity to capture the opponent and find the Fire Lotus!"

The people in the dark were dissatisfied with the masked man for not taking Gao Yao down yet and for still talking too much.

After all, the person in the dark has to control so many guards of the Marquis' Mansion at the same time and help the masked man to control Gao Yao from time to time, which puts a lot of pressure on him!

"it is good!

Yaoer!

do not be angry!
Take it now! "

Seeing that the person in the dark was angry, the masked man immediately gave in.

Then, the masked man's moves became more radical.

“Don’t be afraid!
This is the technique of refining the spirit!

Most of the spiritual techniques are illusions, and only a small part of them are Taoist techniques with actual killing power.

As long as we are not afraid and can see through the illusion, this small amount of spiritual magic will never be able to stop so many of us!
The Marquis' Mansion will treat the families of all those who died in battle well.

All those who fear or cowardly fight will be held accountable by the Marquis' Mansion!
Everyone bit the tip of their tongue with their teeth, using the blood and pain from the tip of their tongue to fight against the illusion!
kill! ! "

Just when the guards of the Marquis' Mansion were afraid to move forward, Dai Fayan stood up and yelled at all the guards of the Marquis' Mansion.

Now Zhao Xinghan and Gao Yao were both held back.

Only Dai Fayan, only Dai Fayan who stood up could integrate all the forces of the Marquis' Mansion for support and resistance.

When Dai Fayan mobilized the guards of the Marquis' Mansion, he did not forget the External Affairs Department and the Internal Affairs Department.

Dai Fayan also asked all the young and strong men and combat forces from the External Affairs Department and the Internal Affairs Department to join the battle.

Dai Fayan is well aware that what is worrying is not poverty but inequality.

If only the guards of the Marquis' Mansion were mobilized to join the battle, some guards would inevitably think that Dai Fayan, the head of the Foreign Affairs Office, favored his brothers in the Foreign Affairs Office and sent the guards to die in the attack.

Once someone starts making a fuss or is passive-aggressive.

Dai Fayan, who was not a direct leader of the imperial guards, was difficult to deal with.
By then, let’s not even talk about how it would affect the unity of the Marquis’s Guards and the Foreign Affairs Office.

Even though Dai Fayan successfully suppressed the dissatisfaction in the end, the wasted time could not be recovered.

Now, the most important thing is time!
We must seize the time to support Gao Yao and Zhao Xinghan.

Protect the Fire Lotus, this rare treasure of heaven and earth.

Therefore, Dai Fayan directly asked the young and strong people from the Foreign Affairs Office and the Guards to join the war and provide support.

At the same time, in order to be fair, Dai Fayan did not even let go of the Internal Affairs Department, which had only a few people, and ordered them to join the battle together.

The one who provided support was Gao Yao, the director of the Internal Affairs Department, and Qiu Yue, one of the four close attendants, had already taken the lead in joining the battle.

Although the few internal affairs department staff who were originally responsible for internal affairs were dissatisfied, they were out of number and had no one to take the lead, so they finally chose to compromise and obey Dai Fayan's command.

Dai Fayan, the director of the Foreign Affairs Office, does have some command skills.

Although Dai Fayan was not born a soldier, and although the military and the chamber of commerce have completely different attributes, they are both leaders in the final analysis.

Dai Fayan can still temporarily play the role of a battle mobilizer, as long as it does not involve tactical battles.

As for how to deal with the Taoist magic of the Soul Refining Sect...

After all, Dai Fayan was the son of a wealthy merchant in the capital, and was later valued by Zhu Chengwu, so he was knowledgeable and experienced.

Moreover, when Dai Fayan was young, he was also fascinated by the art of spiritual cultivation for a period of time.

I know a lot about the spirit refining lineage.

Even relying on money to pave the way, Dai Fayan once practiced the art of soul cultivation to the peak of out-of-body experience and had the hope of achieving the status of a Yin God.

But later, Dai Fayan's family struggle failed, and his spiritual cultivation was wasted.

Over the years, as Dai Fayan has been valued by Zhu Chengwu, his status has continued to improve.

Dai Fayan has recovered 70% to 80% of his spiritual cultivation.

Unfortunately, because his cultivation was abolished and his soul was damaged, Dai Fayan could no longer recover any more, nor could he make any further progress.

The out-of-body spiritual cultivation had limited effect on the illusionary Taoist magic performed by the two Yin Shen masters.

Just like when facing Wanwan, although Wanwan did not know the Taoist art of refining the soul, because the Heavenly Demon Strategy was extremely comprehensive, Wanwan also had the Heavenly Demon Dance, a secret martial arts technique, and her soul was not weak, the soul refining illusion technique that Dai Fayan performed in the out-of-body state was almost useless.

But Dai Fayan finally had some resistance and understanding of the magic of the spirit refining lineage. Facing the two spirit refining masters who attacked this time, Dai Fayan was able to command the people in the marquis' mansion to fight back.

After all, Dai Fayan's fighting power is not enough. Facing first-rate warriors and Yin Shen masters, he can only play a supporting role.

Boost the morale of the guards.

Gather the strength of the crowd to fight against the attackers.

Being unable to confront head-on like Zhao Xinghan and Gao Yao might have been the difference between victory and defeat.

It was precisely because he realized the importance of martial arts that Dai Fayan sent Su Xiangqi, who was like his own son, to the Marquis' Mansion to learn martial arts.

Dai Fayan would not hesitate even if he just had to be a gatekeeper!

You know, Su Xiangqi is treated like a young master at home.

Dai Fayan understood that only by entering the Marquis' Mansion could he have a chance to obtain Zhu Chengwu's true teachings!

Only then can you become a first-class person or even a master!

A lot was said, but in reality, only a dozen breaths had passed from the time the attackers launched a surprise attack, to the time Zhao Xinghan and Gao Yao started to fight desperately, to Dai Fayan boosting morale.

“Winter snow!
Go down and have a look! "

In the wedding car, Cui Shuyun suddenly said to Dongxue who had opened her eyes again and was paying attention to the battle situation.

Qiuyue had already joined the battle.

Now, there is only winter snow left in the wedding car.

"What about you, ma'am?"

Dongxue seemed to be persuaded, but also seemed hesitant.

Although Dongxue knew that Huo Lian was important, she was now the only fighting force around Cui Shuyun.

If the scene at the foot of the mountain happened again after she left!
that…

After fighting alongside Cui, Dongxue developed a strong liking for Cui and Cui Shuyun.

This is the characteristic of a martial arts fanatic.

As long as one's strength is recognized, the entire person and even the forces and family to which that person belongs will gain favor.

"It's fine!

Their target is obviously the Fire Lotus, that rare treasure of heaven and earth!

Moreover, I think the rare treasures of heaven and earth should be very important to your Lordship!"

Cui Shuyun advised without caring about her own safety.

Everything he said was out of consideration for Zhu Chengwu and the Fu'an Marquisate.

"As expected of the person chosen by the Marquis!"

Dongxue couldn't help but admire in her heart.

Cui Shuyun's magnanimous and fearless attitude, and her wholehearted consideration for Fu'an Marquisate and Zhu Chengwu, really made Dongxue cry to death.

“Then… Madam, you must stay in the wedding car.

Don't come down!
must be careful!"

Dongxue finally chose to get out of the wedding car.

Just as Cui Shuyun said, this fire lotus is very important to Zhu Chengwu.

At this time, every qualified warrior is a force to be reckoned with.

If one more top-notch warrior joins the battle, it might be the last straw that saves the Fire Lotus, a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

What Dongxue didn't know was that when she saw her getting out of the car and drawing her sword, Cui Shuyun's eyes became inexplicable.

"Miss, why did you let Dongxue leave too!

Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened before?"

The maid Xiaowei looked at Dongxue who was leaving and couldn't help but said to Cui Shuyun. Xiaowei didn't want to go through the previous worrying moments and life and death again.

But Xiaowei still knows the pros and cons.

I know I can’t refute Cui Shuyun in person.

Wait until Dongxue leaves before giving any suggestions to Cui Shuyun.

Otherwise it would be an insult to the master Cui Shuyun.

Perhaps, someone had reminded Xiaowei before leaving the Cui family!

Otherwise, with Xiao Wei's past careless behavior...

"Xiao Wei, don't you think the current situation is just right?"

Cui Shuyun ignored Xiaowei's complaints and looked at the two battlefields in front of her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This look, this expression...

Xiaowei suddenly felt that Cui Shuyun in front of her was so strange.

As the saying goes, no matter how defensive you are, you can never guard against a thief within your own home!

Zhao Xinghan and Gao Yao could never have guessed that the person in the dark could find Gao Yao in the first place and confirm that the Fire Lotus was on Gao Yao. The source of the information was Cui Shuyun, the future wife of the Marquis' Mansion.

It was with Cui Shuyun's support that the people in the dark knew the return route of the wedding procession and knew that the Fire Lotus was in Gao Yao's hands...

Even though Cui Shuyun has always been in the sight of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, there are three urgent things to do.

There is always a time when you are alone.

Moreover, Cui Shuyun has achieved the state of out-of-body experience in the art of spiritual cultivation.

Many times, intelligence can be passed on without any face-to-face contact.

"However, my second sister-in-law is unexpectedly capable!

I can actually find so many powerful helpers!
I'm also worried that my second sister-in-law won't be able to put enough pressure on the Marquis Fu'an's Mansion, causing chaos in the wedding procession!

Unexpectedly, they almost succeeded!"

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyun still feels scared.

After all, Cui Shuyun gave Ai Jingxia the information not for the purpose of helping Ai Jingxia and the others successfully seize the Fire Lotus.

Cui Shuyun has her own plans.

Earlier, at the foot of the mountain, Ai Jingxia had a conversation with Cui Shuyun, and it seemed that Ai Jingxia persuaded Cui Shuyun to help her.

In fact, it was Ai Jingxia's words that opened up Cui Shuyun's "Ren and Du meridians".

This made Cui Shuyun's behavior completely different from the style of the ladies from noble families in the past.

Just like Zhu Chengwu’s previous life, Xiao Sa was completely different before and after meeting Jack Ma.

"Miss, you..."

Xiaowei looked at Cui Shuyun in shock and confusion, and was hesitant to speak.

To Xiaowei, the Cui Shuyun in front of her was too unfamiliar!

“Okay, Xiaowei, it’s okay.

I did all this just to protect myself and to have enough conditions to negotiate with Marquis Fu'an!"

Cui Shuyun did not hide the fact that she was the one behind this scene.

From the moment Xiaowei was the first to obey Cui Shuyun's command and rushed towards Wanwan at the foot of the mountain, Xiaowei once again gained Cui Shuyun's trust.

And the level of trust is much higher than before.

Just like Zhu Chengwu’s previous life, a relationship that begins with misunderstanding and ends with the misunderstanding being resolved is always more passionate than an ordinary relationship.

Just like Zhu Chengwu’s previous life, a relationship that has gone through life and death together is always more solid than an ordinary relationship.

Therefore, Cui Shuyun no longer hid some things from Xiaowei.

After saying that, Cui Shuyun no longer paid attention to Xiaowei's complicated look, and stared at the battlefield where Gao Yao was.

After all, Cui Shuyun’s target is also Fire Lotus!
But we can’t let all our plans go to waste because of carelessness!
At this time, Gao Yao was finally caught in a vulnerable position by the joint siege of the Yin Shen realm masters of the spirit refining realm and the first-class warriors of the martial arts lineage.

sigh~~

The sound of a sword piercing flesh.

The tall and thin man with a black scarf and mask stabbed Gao Yao in the chest with a sword.

Then, the tall and thin man used his fingers to tap various major acupoints on Gao Yao's arm.

Gao Yao's tightly clasped hands twitched and separated involuntarily.

This is what Gao Yao didn't want.

But driven by the body's instinct, the tightly clasped hands had to separate.

Regardless of will.

This is the body's stress response.

As Gao Yao opened his hands, an inexplicable attraction emerged...

It is the desire to make up for one's own flaws.

"Fire Lotus!"

“The Fire Lotus is actually in this person’s hands!
"Fire Lotus?"

Some people cried out in surprise, while others secretly screamed in their hearts.

puff…

However, Gao Yao was kicked away by a tall and thin man with a black scarf on his face.

Fortunately, the tall and thin man remembered the advice of the person in the dark and did not kill anyone!
Otherwise, Gao Yao might become the highest-ranking person killed in the battle to welcome Huo Lian at Fu'an Marquis Mansion.

"Ah~~
Catch it! "

Gao Yao shouted loudly, and before being kicked away, he used his trembling hands to throw the fire lotus in the direction of Dai Fayan and others.

The intention is for Dai Fayan to continue protecting Huo Lian.

"Protect the Fire Lotus!"

Seeing the fire lotus flying towards him, Dai Fayan immediately understood what Gao Yao meant.

Immediately, he shouted.

However, the sudden and huge desire to make up for his own shortcomings made Dai Fayan's orders seem so pale and powerless.

Even Gao Yao, who is powerful and loyal, was affected by the huge desire to make up for his shortcomings when he first came into contact with the Fire Lotus...

Even the elites of the Cui clan would unconsciously want to obtain the Fire Lotus and thus move their steps...

What’s more, they are just ordinary guards in Marquis Fu’an’s Mansion.

The guards of the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion are indeed elite and a rare and powerful army.

But when taken individually, their individual strengths are not very strong, and their wills are not all indestructible.

With so many people, there will always be good and bad people among them.

Some people are loyal to Zhu Chengwu, but some people join the Marquis's Guard just for the treatment and benefits of Fu'an Marquis's Mansion.

One kind of rice can feed hundreds of people!

As the Fire Lotus appeared, many of the Fu'an Marquis's guards who were not loyal or determined could no longer hold back their desires and rushed in the direction of the Fire Lotus...

This can be regarded as another way to realize Zhao Xinghan's idea of ​​using the fire lotus to test the loyalty of his soldiers and to strengthen their will!

Not only some people in the Marquis' Mansion who were able to move freely were attracted by the fire lotus, but even many people in the Marquis' Mansion who were previously controlled by the Man in the Dark were driven by this huge desire and broke free from the Man in the Dark's illusion.

Of course, there were also people in the dark who were shaken by the sudden emergence of such a huge desire.

Even because of this desire, the person in the dark failed to control her spiritual power for the first time, revealing her figure that had been hidden.

No one expected that there was a woman behind that elegant and easy-going voice.

A pretty woman with a white scarf covering her face and wearing white clothes.

Unfortunately, few people at the scene noticed the pretty woman who suddenly appeared.

Because the scene had already fallen into chaos due to the appearance of Fire Lotus, driven by the desires in people's hearts.

　Many book lovers have reported that the recent plot has been a bit dragged out!
　　Some book friends also encouraged Kexiao to follow his own pace and not to be affected, otherwise the quality of the book might decline!

　　It's ridiculous and I don't know what to do!
　　I didn't go out during the entire Spring Festival, and I have been concentrating on writing up to chapter 58. It would be a pity to waste it, and I am afraid that the plot will not be connected after my thoughts are confused.

　　So it’s ridiculous that he finally decided to follow his own thoughts!
　　In response to the problem of slow plot development reported by many book friends, I had no choice but to keep applying to postpone the release date.

　　I have now applied for a one-week extension to enter V.

　　In the current environment of more than 10 words entering V, this book still has at least one week of free chapters. The update volume is still 4000+ every day.

　　Please support Kexiao!
　　Kexiao is deeply sorry for disappointing some book lovers. He will pay more attention to controlling the rhythm in the future.

　　Please give me your advice and support! Thank you all for your support along the way!
