C43 Yue Hao's Deduction

The fire was still burning. Looking from outside the cave, it was as bright as a candle, but to the people in the village, it was like a huge death talisman, unconsciously harvesting their lives.

In a corner where no one had noticed, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face stopped the big man who was about to get angry and advised, "Chief, please calm down. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. If we rashly go out, I am afraid that the chief will be plotted against by the enemy. Chief, please bear with it for the time being. "

"Bear with it!"

When he heard this, the big man immediately became angry. "How long do I have to endure it, Yue Hao? Tell me! Who was the one who set this fire? If I find out who it was, I'll skin him alive! "

These two men were Yue Hao and Third Master, who had been missing for a long time. It turned out that Third Master had a high position in the sect. He lived in an independent courtyard, which was why the fire only reached him in the end. As Yue Hao was highly regarded by him, he naturally arranged for them to stay in the courtyard. When he woke up, he also saved him. After that, the two of them hid here.

"With your brain, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see his shadow. "

The middle-aged man secretly despised him in his heart, but on the surface, he said respectfully, "Chief, don't be anxious. Don't you think that the fire is strange?"

"Strange, what is strange?"

The big man said impatiently. "Kid, stop playing riddles with me. If you have any fart, then spit it out!"

Hearing these words, the middle-aged man immediately became angry. Compared to his two older brothers, this Third Master was completely a boor. If it wasn't for him and the other leaders coming up with strategies, this stockade would have been destroyed long ago. At that moment, he wanted to get angry, but he remembered that he still needed to escape from this place under his protection. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Chief, why don't you think about why this stockade will be set on fire for no reason? And it even picked such an hour. Not to mention the timing, Why is the fire burning in the courtyard of the chief? No one has come to report it yet. Isn't all of this suspicious? "

When the big man heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He said: "You mean to say that this arson was done by someone in our village?"

"If it wasn't for our own people, how could they have such a clear grasp of the timing and the terrain of the cave? In my opinion, those who are capable of doing this wouldn't have a low position in the village, right?"

Speaking of this, he changed the topic and said gloomily, "I won't hide it from the chief. I found out that the actions of the Sixth Manager these few days were really strange. "

"You are talking about Qian Yun!"

That big man was suddenly shocked and said in disbelief, "Impossible. How could that kid have the guts to watch me tear him apart? Besides, with his little brain, how could he come up with such a meticulous plan? You must have guessed wrong. "

Although Third Master was usually cruel and merciless, he would never let anyone get away with him. He seems like a hero who values heroes. When he heard that someone was suspecting him, he immediately felt a little unhappy. He said, "That kid is just a blockhead. How could he do such a brainless thing? Besides, I normally treat him well. What reason does he have to rebel? I think the advisor is overthinking it. "

Yue Hao smiled bitterly and pretended to be helpless. "It is hard to know a person's face but not his heart. Chief, why don't you think about what Qian Yun usually does. "

Hearing this, Third Master calmed down and thought about it carefully. However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not think of anything wrong. He hurriedly asked, "I think Qian Yun always looks loyal and loyal. What's wrong with him?"

Yue Hao secretly scolded the "idiot" and patiently said, "Did the chief forget about the robbery last time? Qian Yun usually does not make a sound, but when the chief wants to kill that woman, did you forget his reaction?"

Only then did Third Master remember that there was indeed such a thing. He remembered that Qian Yun almost jumped out to fight with him at that time, but there was a reason for it, so he did not make a fuss about it.

"Hey, did the military advisor forget? Didn't Qian Yun also say that? The woman had once helped him. It's understandable that he didn't stand out because he wanted to repay her kindness. "

"Repay her kindness?"

Yue Hao sneered and said, "Then why don't you say it sooner or later? He had to wait for the chief's knife to be placed on his neck before he stood up. If that was all, it would be fine. Then how are you going to explain North Escort Ridge and Southern Leaf Village after that? Your subordinate remembers that Qian Yun did not make a move at all. Not only him, but also one of his subordinates had made a move. From this, it could be seen that Qian Yun must have some ulterior motives when he came to the village. The chief must be on guard! "

"This. . . "

Third Master could not help but be a little shaken and said, "If that is the case, Qian Yun came to the village five years ago. Why did he not make a move?"

"That is because he knows his own limitations. With his strength, he would not dare to be rash in front of the chief. He was just waiting for an opportunity. "

Yue Hao said. "I already felt that something was amiss when there were a few attacks on the stronghold. How could strangers be so familiar with the terrain in the cave? I think there must have been someone who acted as a spy to secretly receive them. That spy must be Qian Yun without a doubt. "

"This bastard!"

In a fit of rage, the burly man smashed the limestone in front of him into pieces. He said, "I treated him like this, but he harmed me like this. He deserves to die!"

"Chief, please calm down. That Qian Yun is just a small character that cannot be put on the table. With your cultivation, killing him is as simple as crushing an ant. If such a person rebelled, so be it. Chief, there is no need to feel sad for him. "

Only then did the big man calm down and said in puzzlement, "Damn it. If this bastard really came for the destruction of the village, Then who is he? "

"I'm afraid that's hard to say. "

Yue Hao revealed a trace of emotion. All these years, we have killed at least eight thousand people. There were too many people in the Chou family. However, we're not afraid. There's only one place that we can't afford to offend for the time being. The only thing we are afraid of is that Qian Yun came from that place. "

"What place?"

The big man urged. "Tell me, where did Qian Yun come from?" the man asked.

"Blood Rewards Hall!" Yue Hao cleared his throat and said word by word.

The burly man was so shocked that his face turned pale. He said with a knot in his mouth: "You mean this time it was the blood and the people of Blood Rewards Hall who did it? Doesn't that mean that we will die today!? "

How could he not be afraid? The Blood Rewards Hall was built by the Imperial Court, and who was above the Imperial Court? That was the current Emperor. He was rumored to be the number one person in the Great Chu who could wear a commander's robe at the age of fifteen, and he was the one who had defeated all the barbarians until now. Even though he was a man of the Jianghu, he was still the number one person in the Great Chu. He couldn't help but admire this Iron Blood Emperor, but at this moment, all that was left was deep fear.

"That's not true. Could it be that the chief has forgotten the rules of the Blood Rewards Hall?"

Yue Hao said, "The matters of the underworld are settled in the martial world. If anyone from the Blood Rewards Hall meddled in the affairs of the martial world for personal reasons, once they are investigated, they will be punished with severe punishment. "

"This was personally said by the current Emperor. I don't think the people of the Blood Rewards Hall have the guts to go against the Holy Decree. "

"Yes, yes, that's right. "

Third Master wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Only then did he feel relieved and said, "Luckily that's the case. Otherwise, we would have been finished today!"

"So the incident of setting the stronghold on fire must not have been done by the Blood Rewards Hall, but it must have something to do with them. Qian Yun and the others might have already left the Blood Rewards Hall, which is why they dared to act so arrogantly. "

Yue Hao speculated. "But judging from the methods they used, I think the people who came this time will not be too strong. At least they are much weaker than the chief. They could climb up the ladder without anyone knowing. There will not be many people. It is very likely that there will only be one person. "

"One person?"

The big man revealed a shocked expression and said: "One person can turn our stockade into such a mess?"

Yue Hao nodded and said, "It sounds a little unbelievable, but if we seize the opportunity and with Qian Yun and the others secretly assisting us, it is not impossible to work together from the inside and from the outside. "

One had to admit that this Yue Hao did have some ability. Just based on his analysis of the situation in front of him, he had already grasped eighty percent of the original story of Gu Xing and the others' attack on the stronghold. It was not as good as what Qian Yun had said. He was not only good at flattery.

"It's Qian Yun again. Let's see how I can spare him!"

The burly man roared furiously. He wished that he could grab Qian Yun and tear him in half at this moment.

"Chief, please calm down. It's not too late to kill that Qian Yun later. "

Yue Hao advised and said, " Moreover, even if Chief wants to kill him, we have to find him first before killing him. "

"Advisor has a point. Then please tell us where Qian Yun and the others are hiding now. "

After the analysis, Third Master suddenly felt that his advisor was like a god who knew everything. Unknowingly, the dominant position between the two of them had quietly changed.

Yue Hao snorted and said, "Where else can you hide? It was nothing more than hiding in a place and waiting to watch the show. Their only goal was to destroy the stronghold. Because they can't do anything to the chief with their strength. Once the village is finished, The chief will have nowhere to hide. When the time comes, I'm afraid they won't even have to kill the chief themselves. "

"Haha, what a deep scheme, what a ruthless thought!"

Third Master heard it, but he was so angry that he laughed instead and said, "I also said that I have obtained a loyal subordinate. I did not expect that I would lead a wolf into my house and be trapped in my own trap. I would like to ask the advisor to tell me where that Qian Yun is hiding. "

"Since the chief trusts me, I will make a bold guess. "

Yue Hao extended two fingers as he spoke. He gestured and said, "Although the stockade is big, there are only two places where they can hide. They are just the two exits, one in front and one behind. The other places are not likely. "

"Why is that?" Third Master was confused. "If it is just for hiding, they can't go anywhere in the stockade. Why do they have to hide at the exit?"

"The fire has not been extinguished yet, so it is easy to be affected if we hide at other places. Hiding at the exit is not only safe, but we can also catch turtles and catch all of our people in one fell swoop. Moreover, it is more beneficial to escape when we are in danger. It is a win-win situation without any harm. On the other hand, the rest of the places cannot be reached. "

"So that's how it is. Then let's not delay any longer. We will rush to the front stronghold now. If we don't catch those thieves and cut them into pieces, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!"

The big man stood up angrily and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Yue Hao and said, "No! The chief was tricked by those little thieves. "

"Did he fall into their trap?" The big man was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you think so?"

"The chief doesn't know about it. That thief deliberately let us see through his thoughts and deliberately put himself in doubt. I dare to say that if the chief rushed to the outer camp at this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to see their shadow. If he did, he would at most be some Tom, Dick, and some insignificant soldiers. "

"If he isn't in the outer stronghold, can he still be in the inner stronghold?"

The big man hesitated for a moment and asked, "That place leads to a hundred thousand feet cliff. If you jump down there, will you still be alive?"

"The chief is a mystery to the people involved. Qian Yun and the others must have taken advantage of the chief's thoughts. "

Yue Hao said. "They know that they are not the chief's opponents. They think the chief will think that they will hide in the outer camp. If the chief went to the outer camp now, even if he could not find them, he would think that they have escaped. He did not think that they were actually still in the village. In this way, they will have time to wait for the right opportunity to go down the mountain safely," Yue Hao said.

"It is indeed a good scheme!"

The big man praised in anger and rejoiced. "If it was not for the advisor, I would have been fooled by them long ago. "

"The chief is too humble. That thief is too cunning and unpredictable. "

Yue Hao looked at the direction of the inner camp and snorted coldly. He said, "With me here, we will see how you can escape today. "
