550 [Chess meets opponent]
Two days ago, Zhongshan Hou Mansion.
Gu Fan gritted his teeth and said: "Do these people really think I'm a fool? Even if they are really rampant bandits along the coast of Qinzhou, I don't believe they dare to provoke Wu Xun's relatives."
Pei Yue said with a strange expression: "They really have a big appetite for a ransom of one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Gu Fan frowned and asked, "Do you believe it?"
Pei Yue smiled softly and signaled him to calm down. After sitting down, he said: "The other party will not be naive to think that we will really believe this excuse. In fact, if you look carefully, this letter is very interesting and reveals several differences.
Common key points.”
Gu Fan is naturally arrogant. His family background, martial arts talent and even appearance are all top-notch. This is one of the reasons why he took the initiative to take care of Pei Yue. After all, in his eyes, Pei Yue was too weak at that time.
What the reckless hero in the world pursues is to defeat the strong and help the weak. But he is not arrogant, and he is well aware of Pei Yue's ability in scheming, so he temporarily suppresses his anxiety and sits aside to wait for Pei Yue's analysis.
"They set the time for two days later. The location is Pingyuan Town, which is close to Kyoto. They seem to want us to prepare well. You must know that this is our home field. In addition to the personal guards around you and me, we can even ask His Majesty
Mobilize Jingying and Taishitai Pavilion. There is plenty of time, and we can completely set up a dragnet around Pingyuan Town."
Pei Yue's words made Gu Fan's eyes light up, and then he fell into confusion. What was the reason for the other party to do this?
He hesitated and said: "Maybe they are just too confident."
Pei Yue shook his head and asked with a smile: "If you are the mastermind behind this matter, let's not mention whether your purpose is money or killing people. What do you need to worry about most when doing this?"
He stretched out two fingers and said confidently: "First, how to deal with the huge power we have. Second, how to escape after the incident is completed."
Gu Fan was so blessed at this moment that he slowly said: "If you want to take something, you must give it first?"
Pei Yue's right hand patted the armrest lightly, his eyes were very sharp, and he said solemnly: "If we don't consider the deep meaning behind this letter, we will superficially think that this is the other party's omission,
Then we are very likely to fall into their trap. If we deploy all our forces near Pingyuan Town in advance, and when you get there, they only need to ask you to go to another place to redeem people, then the arrangements we made earlier will have no effect.
effect."
Gu Fan was startled and realized that Pei Yue's judgment was very possible.
As long as Nanqin is still in the hands of the other party, he must obey the call, because the actual redemption location is not in the mass grave near Pingyuan Town. In this era where there is no means of remote communication at all, as long as he follows the other party to another location
, then not only will all the previous arrangements in Pingyuan Town be invalidated, but the more terrifying problem is that he will lose contact with Pei Yue.
Of course, Gu Fan has the right to make his own decisions. He can completely ignore the other party's remarks. As long as Pingyuan Town is not a place to redeem people, with his martial arts skills and the manpower deployed in that area, no one can be hurt.
He, he could even stop caring about Nan Qin's life and death.
But will he do so?
Pei Yue's expression was a little complicated, and he said slowly: "Although I still don't know who the enemy is, what I can confirm is that he knows you very well, and that's why he made such a plan."
Gu Fan sneered and said, "So, they've got me."
There was a bit of coldness and solemnity in these words.
Pei Yue didn't talk about this topic, actually because there was no need to discuss it at all. Nanqin was to Gu Fan, just like Lin Shuyue was to himself. If it was Lin Shuyue who was kidnapped this time, he could turn a blind eye.
?Not to mention Gu Fan’s chivalrous temperament. Even if he knew that there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, he would rush forward without hesitation.
As his brother, Pei Yue would not stop him, but could only help him increase his chances of winning as much as possible.
"What I am sure of is that Pingyuan Town will definitely not be the opponent's lair. Maybe there are only a few insignificant pawns waiting for you there. If you want to solve this matter, you must guess their real hiding place."
"It's hard to guess."
Gu Fan said frankly that they currently knew too little information because the enemy's movements were too fast and without any warning.
Pei Yue stared in thought for a moment and said slowly: "There is another sentence in the letter. If there are more than four people traveling with you, they will attack Miss Nanqin."
Gu Fan was slightly puzzled. Isn't this a very common threat?
Although those people knew that it was impossible for Gu Fan to go there alone without making preparations, they still had something to say about such a situation.
Pei Yue said calmly: "Don't you think it's strange? If I just want to warn you about Miss Nanqin's safety, then I just need to tell you to redeem people alone. Why do you want to add such a nondescript sentence? Why do you want to do so?
Is it five people? Isn’t it six, seven, eight or ninety people?”
Although he knew it was inappropriate, Gu Fan was amused by his weird tone and wanted to laugh a little.
Pei Yue glared at him and said seriously: "Don't laugh. Let me ask you, if I encounter such a thing and the enemy restricts me to only take a few people with me, will you go with me?"
Gu Fan said without thinking: "Of course!"
Pei Yue shrugged and said, "That's the problem."
Gu Fan gradually came back to his senses and murmured: "Does he want you to go with me?"
"The so-called careful consideration of every word is to dig out the other party's true thoughts from every word. The strategy in this letter can be divided into two aspects. One is to make us think that Pingyuan Town is the place for the decisive battle, and let us use all the power in our hands.
Arrange it here, go to
As long as you change places, all our arrangements will be disrupted. Secondly, he knows that we have many experts here. It would be a bit too much to ask you to bring many people, but if he asks you by name,
If I go with you, your purpose will become clear."
Gu Fan said angrily: "These thieves are so insidious."
Then he saw the slightly embarrassed expression on Pei Yue's face, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Brother Yue, I'm not talking about you."
Pei Yue chuckled and said, "Just think you are complimenting me. In fact, if you think about this question clearly, you can roughly guess the identities of these people."
"you say."
"The primary goal of kidnapping Nanqin must be to deal with you, and then he wants to drag me in. There is no doubt that he wants to kill both of us at the same time. As for the identity of the robber and kidnapper, even you don't believe it.
I definitely don’t believe it even more.”
Gu Fan heard this and said helplessly: "Brother Yue, am I that stupid in your heart?"
Pei Yue rolled his eyes and said, "If you weren't stupid, would you be tempted by the other party's actions and want to punch me to death?"
Gu Fan thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case. He simply said: "How about you beat me up? I will never fight back. I am indeed too stupid in this matter."
