Qiu Cong, Lao Mu and Chengyun were all asleep, while Gu Ling and Qiu Jing were still strolling in the garden under the moonlight.
"After listening to you tonight, I really want to see what the magic weapon is like." Qiu Jing said.
"I have no psychological burden about letting you be my substitute." Gu Ling knew that Qiu Jing said that deliberately.
The corner of Qiu Jing's mouth twitched slightly, "Just pretend that I didn't say it, but I just meant it. Of course, I don't want to be controlled by Mo Yan. If you can snatch the magic weapon, we can go in and play."
Of course, the two of them were not unable to sleep and were exchanging feelings in the middle of the night, but they wanted to discuss the specific arrangements for the next step. Without further ado, it would be best to leave tomorrow.
"The question now is, should we send troops, or should we use no troops and carry out a sneak attack?" Qiu Jing said seriously.
Although the troops were sent out with great momentum and could easily surround the enemy, except for the innocent women and young children who were kidnapped, all the people on Xingluo Island were masters. The ordinary soldiers on their side could have thrown explosives at each other from a long distance.
, there is no advantage at all in close combat.
Now that we know that most of the women on Xingluo Island are victims who were kidnapped, and there are also children who don't know anything, naturally we can't attack indiscriminately and blow up the entire island. And the area of Xingluo Island is not counted.
It's small. If you want to keep a distance, throw explosives from the sea, but they won't reach the center at all.
And there are only two goals now: Black Ink Rock and Forbidden Land.
As long as the forbidden area on Xingluo Island is destroyed, half of the success will be achieved, and Mo Yan's way "home" can be cut off directly.
The forbidden area is not big, so the most reliable way to attack Xingluo Island this time is actually a sneak attack. Don't alert the enemy, it is best to sneak into the island with explosives.
Therefore, the two people quickly reached a consensus on this point: let Qiu Cong and Lao Mu go without troops. The latter was not only useless in the current situation, but might cause unnecessary casualties.
Then the remaining question is how to deal with Moyan.
"If that magic weapon can really attract people, it will be too tricky. But starting tomorrow, my grandfather and Senior Mu will arrive at Xingluo Island. It will be almost the end of February, and they have to take a long way to avoid Moyan on the way. If there is no one on the first day of March,
When Mo Yan went back for an appointment, it would be dangerous whether they succeeded or not." Qiu Jing sighed, "You have to meet Mo Yan after all, otherwise there is no way to deal with him. We won't throw explosives there when the time comes. His magic weapon
Just collect all the explosives, right?"
Gu Ling nodded slightly, "It's possible."
"Then, will you go with me?" Qiu Jing asked, and then said, "You have to go. It's very important to solve Mo Yan. We can't do it if you don't take action. Then we will lead the troops there. We are not on the same ship. You pretend to be ordinary."
Soldiers, stay away from me. Even if Mo Yan wants to recruit people, he will definitely keep an eye on me first. All you have to do is find a way to kill him."
"What if I kill him after he takes you in, and you and the magic weapon perish with his life?" Gu Ling asked.
Qiu Jing was stunned for a moment. Obviously he had not considered this possibility. It was also very bizarre. But after thinking about it, he smiled, "Cousin, you still care about me. But I don't think it's a big problem. You
There must be a way to capture him, but don't let him die." For example, use a gun on the weapon to make Mo Yan unconscious.
Finally, Qiu Jing said, "If Mo Yan also has a body that is immune to all poisons, then I can only say that God is indeed very unfair."
So, the matter was settled like this.
When they were about to separate and go back to sleep, Qiu Jing thought of Chengyun again, "What are the plans for him? He really wants to be your substitute."
"Let him pretend to be me and go to Xingluo Island." Gu Ling said.
Qiu Jing nodded, "Okay, he's not bad at martial arts and can help. Although pretending to be you may not be useful, it's not necessarily the case. You have to teach him well, be more flexible, don't be too rigid, and don't be gullible.
enemy."
The next day, before dawn, Cheng Yun was pulled out of bed by Gu Ling.
"Ah? What's wrong? What happened?" Chengyun woke up and asked eagerly.
"It's okay, it's time for you to set off." Gu Ling said.
Chengyun quickly put on his clothes. After he was done dressing, he remembered to ask, "Are we leaving now? To Xingluo Island?"
"You go, I won't go
." Gu Ling said as he took out the disguise ointment and began to apply it on Cheng Yun's face.
Chengyun blinked, "You want me to pretend to be you?"
"Isn't this what you want?" Gu Ling looked calm.
Chengyun nodded immediately, "If you think it's feasible, I can."
"Imitate my words." Gu Ling said.
Chengyun cleared his throat, gave it a try, and adjusted his breath under Gu Ling's guidance. He quickly mastered the key and imitated Gu Ling's expression and said calmly, "Get out of the way or die."
"You spoke of death so smoothly, you have succeeded in returning to secular life." Gu Ling said.
Chengyun coughed lightly, "That's what I learned from you."
"Study hard." Gu Ling said, "Study more, the best you can do is to deceive Sheng Yue."
Chengyun frowned, "Sheng Yue, will he be on the island then?"
Gu Ling nodded, "It's possible. The forbidden area is very important. If Mo Yan leaves the island, Sheng Yue may be asked to stay on the island and watch over it to avoid anything happening."
Sheng Yue is Cheng Yun's half-brother, but when Cheng Yun knew him, they were already hostile. Now their father Pucheng is still alive, but he doesn't know where he is.
"If you meet Sheng Yue, don't let him recognize you." Gu Ling said.
Chengyun nodded, "This should be difficult. As you said, he is extremely smart. I will try my best."
While talking, Gu Ling had already prepared a disguise for Cheng Yun.
Chengyun picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it. Except for his hair, his whole face looked exactly like Gu Ling's.
Cheng Yun picked up the wig and put it on, imitating Gu Ling's cold expression, and said, "Sheng Yue, please accept your fate." The trace of the compassionate little monk was completely gone.
Gu Ling knocked on Chengyun's forehead and said, "If you really meet Sheng Yue, don't say that. We are originally a cooperative relationship, and we will continue to do it to save face."
Chengyun's eyes lit up, "I understand! If he is in charge on Xingluo Island, I will pretend to be you. If someone finds out, I will take the initiative to recognize Sheng Yue and say that he is one of ours! Let the other people on the island
No one believes him anymore!"
Gu Ling nodded, "The idea is right. But if you are too clever, you will definitely not be able to defeat him. You need to be more careful and adapt accordingly. It is best not to run into him. Your target is a forbidden area."
Chengyun looked serious, "I understand. I will listen to Senior Mu when the time comes." Qiu Cong has the highest martial arts value, but his personality is a bit impulsive. Old Mu is a very safe person.
After breakfast, Qiu Jing had sent people to prepare the boat and food, and put enough explosives on the boat. Gu Ling also handed over most of the self-defense drugs Su Liang prepared for him to the three of them, explained how to use them, and gave them instructions.
They can fail their mission and must escape alive. If they are really caught, it's not a big deal. They will find ways to rescue them. Saving their lives is the most important thing. Don't risk your life for anything.
There was a boat in Kasyapa City, which was made by Lao Mu himself, and had a cannon on it. But he didn't use it and said he would leave it to Gu Ling and Qiu Jing to use against Mo Yan.
When the sun rose, Qiu Cong and the other three set off. No one saw their whereabouts. Qiu Cong was very familiar with the sea. He had lived on the island for many years and knew the climate on the sea and how to identify the direction.
And Lao Mu has been to Xingluo Island before, so he will not go wrong, and he is confident that he can avoid the boat on Xingluo Island.
Cheng Yun, who pretended to be Gu Ling, was very serious. From the moment he left the house, he imitated Gu Ling in every move, voice and demeanor. He said that he should maintain this state so that he would not be nervous when it was time to use it.
Qiu Cong and Lao Mu both liked this little monk who had returned to secular life, and were happy to cooperate with him and accompany him in role-playing. They also hoped that Chengyun could abandon his original simple and stubborn thoughts.
After discussion, Gu Ling and Qiu Jing decided not to leave early, but to follow the "agreement" of meeting at sea on the first day of March to meet Mo Yan. If they went to sea to intercept in advance, it would only make Mo Yan more vigilant, and it would not stop him from trying.
things to do.
Ever since he learned that Su Liang was a time traveler, Qiu Jing had shown special interest in it. He asked Gu Ling various questions every day, but Gu Ling didn't answer any of them that had nothing to do with the current matter.
"Then I'd better wait until I see Su Liang and ask her," Qiu Jing said.
Gu Ling
Shaking his head, "She's not free."
Qiu Jing hummed, "If you hadn't met Su Liang, you would definitely be a loner like me now."
"I will tell your grandpa and sister, you treat them as if they don't exist." Gu Ling said with a calm expression, "Yes, I am lucky, there is no point in envying me."
Qiu Jing: ...I miss Su Liang, I miss Lin Yi, I miss Min Rou, no one is easier to get along with than Gu Ling!
…
Kasyapa City.
Sheng Yue hasn't seen Mo Yan for seven or eight days in a row. He occasionally goes to see Feng Ming, but Feng Ming never admits that he is Su Liang's person. Sheng Yue will ask, but he won't press, and it's fine if he doesn't tell.
.
Seeing that it was time to leave for the appointment, Sheng Yue came outside the forbidden area and asked to see Mo Yan.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, an old man guarding the forbidden area opened the door and let Sheng Yue in.
When Sheng Yue saw Mo Yan, he was at the cave and pool in the deepest part of the forbidden area.
Mo Yan was dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on the ground, without opening his eyes, and called "Ayue".
"Master." Sheng Yue saluted respectfully, his eyes falling on the ruby ring on Mo Yan's finger on his knee, "If you want to go to the meeting on the first day of March, it's almost time to leave."
"Yeah." Mo Yan nodded slightly and opened his eyes, but the water mist in the cave was hazy, and his old face was a little unclear.
"I wonder what master's plans are? When I see Gu Ling, what are your plans?" Sheng Yue asked.
Mo Yan stood up and said, "You stay and watch here."
Sheng Yue was not surprised and said respectfully, "Yes. Master, don't worry, the disciple will definitely guard the forbidden area and wait for the master to come back."
"What does that seal say?" Mo Yan asked.
Sheng Yue shook his head, "He has always refused to admit his relationship with Su Liang, and has not explained anything. Master must take him to the appointment, and if necessary, he can be used as a hostage."
"It seems that you are sure that he is my granddaughter's man." Mo Yan looked indifferently, "I can't use him. Let him stay, maybe you can use him."
Sheng Yue nodded lightly, "Master, do you think Gu Ling will definitely send someone to the island?"
"Don't you think?" Mo Yan asked back.
Sheng Yue nodded again, "My disciple also thinks that someone will come to destroy the forbidden area while the master is not around. By now, Gu Ling must have guessed what happened in the forbidden area and the master's purpose."
Mo Yan sighed slightly, "Do you think I can see my granddaughter and great-grandson if I go there?"
Sheng Yue shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily. Gu Ling and Su Liang won't believe the master. It's probably just that Gu Ling is here and Su Liang is at home with the child."
"Then it's settled, I'll go meet Gu Ling." Mo Yan said, "You must guard the forbidden area."
Sheng Yue responded respectfully, "Disciple, I will do my best to prevent trouble from happening in the forbidden area."
Later that day, Mo Yan took a group of experts and left Xingluo Island by boat and headed for Kasyapa City. They did not bring any explosives on the boat, but everyone knew that whatever Mo Yan wanted to bring was there.
Where others cannot see.
That night, Sheng Yue came to the dungeon again to see Feng Ming and told him that Mo Yan had set off.
"Why didn't Mr. Sheng go?" Feng Ming asked.
"I want to stay and guard the forbidden area." Sheng Yue said.
"I don't understand. Since Mr. Sheng is against Divine Doctor Su, why did he go to the Su Mansion in the first place?" Feng Ming said this, which was equivalent to indirectly admitting that he had a relationship with Su Liang.
But Sheng Yue still did not ask further questions and answered Feng Ming's question, "In my eyes, there are no friends and no enemies. It was necessary to do what I did at that time. Su Liang and Gu Ling and I just took what we had.
A relationship of need and mutual use.”
"Young Master Sheng, there is no need to tell me this." Feng Ming suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sheng Yue looked calm, "Don't be nervous, I won't kill you. But no matter how much you know, it's useless." After saying that, Sheng Yue left.
Feng Ming listened to the surroundings becoming calm again and closed his eyes.
…
Beijing.
Ever since Gu Ling left home, Su Liang spent every day at Gu Ling's homemade
The desk calendar records Gu Ling's possible itinerary, where he went and what he was doing.
Su Liang has never gone out. Occasionally, friends will come to the house. But in the eyes of outsiders, Su Liang has been going out frequently recently.
This is because on the third day after Gu Ling left, Yan Shiba had a sudden idea and disguised himself as Su Liang. After that, he always wore Su Liang's face, wore her clothes, and took Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu with him.
Go out to play, and play the "guess which is your mother" game with Gu Xiaonuan every day.
Yan Shiba imitated Su Liang more and more, and even deceived Cen Man and Lao Bai once, but he never succeeded in deceiving Gu Xiaonuan.
Ji Xiaoshu analyzed that Gu Xiaonuan judged based on his eyes: the way Yan Shiba looked at Gu Xiaonuan was gentler and more doting than Su Liang, so it was different.
Yan Shiba was completely speechless about this. But the fact is that because everyone dotes on Gu Xiaonuan so much, Su Liang is the one who sets the rules for the children, and is relatively strict with Gu Xiaonuan.
Both Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu thought that Yan Shiba's imitation of Su Liang was just a whim, and they stopped playing after a while. However, they found that after several days, Yan Shiba was still pretending to be Su Liang every day.
"Aunt Yan, how long are you going to pretend to be the master's wife? Do you plan to wait for my master to come back and deceive him before you are done?" Ji Xiaoshu asked with a smile.
Yan Shiba knocked on Ji Xiaoshu's forehead, "Look at my face and scream again."
Ji Xiaoshu called "Master's wife" sweetly.
At this time, Yan Shiba was taking Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu out to attend class at Lin's house. Before they got on the horse, Yan Shiba took the two children over, leaned over and whispered in their ears, "This is my plan. Although Gu Ling ran away
I went to the south to kill Mo Yan, but what if Mo Yan didn’t go to the appointment and came to the capital to arrest someone? When the time comes, he will take me back as your master’s wife, and it’s up to you to save me! Haha!”
Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu looked at each other.
When the two little guys were alone together, Zheng'er sighed, "It turns out that Aunt Yan pretended to be the master's wife to protect the master's wife! Aunt Yan is so kind to the master's wife!"
Ji Xiaoshu held her face in her hands and said, "Of course it's because the master's wife treated Aunt Yan first. The master's wife is the best person in the world!"
Zheng'er fully agreed.
When they went to bed at night, the two little guys couldn't help but tell Su Liang what Yan Shiba said during the day.
Su Liang laughed and said, "You have been following her out all day long. If someone wants to arrest me and takes her away, they may take you too."
Zheng'er frowned, "Yes, what should we do?"
Su Liang said calmly, "If she takes you out to play again, don't go. Let her go out by herself."
Ji Xiaoshu chuckled, "Master, aren't you worried that Aunt Yan will be taken away?"
Su Liang shook his head, "Don't worry, she is very lucky."
Zheng'er's eyes lit up, "I understand! It's just like Master asking Uncle Jing to pretend to be him. This is called..."
"The substitute tactic!" Ji Xiaoshu continued, "It's just like the real and fake Monkey King, so that the enemy can't tell which one is the person they are looking for."
"It's not that complicated." Su Liang shook his head, "Just in case something really happens, I can buy a little more time." On the first day Yan Shiba pretended to be Su Liang, Su Liang knew what she was doing, but Yan Shiba did it deliberately
If she didn't say anything, people would think she was just playing around. Su Liang didn't make it clear and just let her go.
"Start practicing now, what if it works in the future? Master, is that right?"
"As long as you are happy. Go to sleep." Su Liang put down the bed curtains and closed her eyes, thinking that it was almost time for Gu Ling to leave for her appointment. I hope everything goes well. This chapter has been completed!
