Chapter 508: All in the Mastery (Part 2)

Murong Shu was convinced by his son after all.

Because from his perspective, Murong Xiao’s plan is indeed a sure profit without losing money.

If they go in, they can get the silkworm hunting ring through off-site means.

If they retreat, they can at least blame Huo Ming...

Some people may not understand what is the purpose of shaking Huo Ming?

In fact, if you analyze from Murong Xiao’s perspective, you will find that this is another "killing two birds with one stone".

Moreover, this strategy had already taken shape in his mind as early as when A Xiao first met Huo Ming, the day he "negotiated".

Let’s talk about that day, Murong Xiaoyuan learned earlier than his father that Huo Ming had no intention of fighting for the power of the hosting. Therefore, when Sun and Huang suddenly jumped out and proposed to hold a competition... A Xiao tried his best to stop them (Chapter 37 of this volume).

But A Xiao didn't expect that the two dogs immediately took out the silkworm hunting ring and "turned the treasure into light", turning the game into a conspiracy that no one can stop.

Since Shuangxie has forcibly bound the "sponsorship rights" and the "silk search ring", even Huo Ming has to enter the game, Murong Xiaozi can only change his strategy and use his plans...

For example, if this plan is "blame Huo Ming", once this plan is implemented successfully, it doesn't matter whether Huo Ming is innocent, because he will inevitably fall into the "self-provement trap" in the future.

As long as there is a third party (that is, their Murong family) in this game, after the incident, the third party can take this matter out at any time to "judgment the heroes of the world" - of course, this is the meaning of the three parties' mutual supervision.

It can also be said that Murong Xiao in turn used the strategy of Sun and Huang to "restrain each other" and "using multiple asymmetric information to screen suspects."

In the end, this matter is... Regardless of whether Huo Ming can prove his innocence or whether Sun Huang believes in him or not, he has to voluntarily give up the right to sponsor and the silkworm hunting ring in order to be "really innocent" in the eyes of the world.

Otherwise, Murong Xiao could make him clear and unrealistic in his reputation.

So once his plan is successful, it will not be a loss.

And what about Murong Shu... Although he did not have any deep hatred with Chief Huo, and even had a little sympathy during contact, Murong Shu would not be soft-hearted for an outsider when he was in front of the family's interests.

Therefore, after he settled the accounts clearly, he agreed to his son's plan.

When I talked about this, maybe some of the audience had already come back... On the afternoon of the competition, when Dugu Yong had an accident on the stage and was carried into the tent by Huo Ming, why did Murong Shu and Murong Xiao seem a little anxious... They always think about going into the tent to confirm the situation?

Because what they are really worried about is Huo Ming!

If Dugu Yong is beaten to death by Huo Ming, then Dugu Sheng and Huo Ming are killed and beaten to death by Chief Huo again, will their plan be completely in chaos?

Fortunately, in the end, Chief Huo was fine.

And he was indeed as Murong Xiao expected... After the chaos caused by Wu Mingzi was calmed down, he immediately called Kong Biao, one of his confidant disciples, to the side and ordered something.

Then, a figure like Kong Biao, who was at the deputy head level, left the competition venue alone and low-key.

Diao Yang, who had been observing from afar in the crowd according to A Xiao's instructions, followed him and followed Kong Biao all the way, and soon arrived at the mountain gate of Nabaquan Sect.

Everything seemed to be as expected by Murong Xiao - Shuangxie did say to Huo Ming like "When all three parties were there, we deceived Murong Shu. The ring hidden under the floor of your branch is actually fake. Now we are only telling you how to arrange it."

Moreover, this ring that "only let Huo Ming know" was finally hidden in the Baquan Sect.

Regarding this matter, Huo Ming only told his three most confidant disciples.

On the day of the competition, Huo Ming asked two of the three to stay in the Baquan Sect. On the surface, they were guarding the mountain gate, but in fact they were secretly guarding the silkworm ring.

When the situation at the venue calmed down, the first thing that Huo Ming, who was an old man, naturally thought of was to let Kong Biao, the only confidant at the venue, run away and confirm whether he had been "stealed".

Unfortunately, this move was all under Murong Xiao's plan.

Diao Yang, with his outstanding martial arts of the sect, followed Kong Biao back to the Baquan Sect without any idea, and successfully learned the hiding place of the ring through the conversation between Kong Biao and Zhao Li and Yang Hao, and stole it out.

At this point, Diao Yang felt that his mission had been completed.

Because Murong Xiao did not tell Diao Yang that the ring hidden in Huo Ming was also fake, and he would not tell him any plan to make a fuss.

He would say these words to his own father, but he wouldn't be able to say anything to you, the tool guy.

Therefore, at least Diao Yang believes that the ring he stole was a real silkworm hunting ring.

This...that was the scene where Diao Yang and Murong Xiao bargained at the beginning of our last book.

"Since you are so afraid of me, you should keep your promises... and bring them." Murong Xiao took over Diao Yang's words and said coldly.

His words were actually paving the way for killing people, because in his opinion, as long as the other party stole the ring that Huo Ming knew, the plan for framing was completed, and it didn't matter whether the fake ring was handed over to him.

The subsequent basis is based on the "shaming plan", and how to obtain the real silkworm ring is not needed.

"Ha...you should keep this nonsense yourself." Diao Yang said with a grim expression on his face at this time, "I just said things, now they are hidden in a place where only heaven and earth know and I know... If you want to kill me to silence you today, then I promise that even if you can live a hundred years old and find them for eighty years, you will definitely not be able to find them."

"Oh?" Murong Xiao continued calmly, "Then tell me, how do you want to 'delivery'?"

"It's easy to say." Diao Yang replied, "In terms of remuneration... the price you gave is enough, and I still have some savings myself, so I don't need to add more, but... I have considered this article "Help me hide my name" for a long time. It's still not worth it. You'll have to worry Mr. Murong, just do it myself...

"Anyway, after I take my reward and fly away, I have to wait at least three months to half a year.

"At that time, if I still have no signs of being tracked or discovered, I will write a book to tell you where the things are hidden."

His request sounds a bit outrageous at first glance, but it is actually reasonable.

Because from the perspective of him, stolen goods of the level of silkworm hunting rings have to be "hidden for a while" after getting it, and it is not long to three months to six months.

Besides, your Murong family still has a lot of troubles to deal with in Cangzhou in the future. You didn’t have time to do anything else... Even if you get the ring right now, you will still be in your hand and dare not move. You have to wait until the limelight passes before you can find Tiancan Gong.

As for assumptions like "If this old man simply loses news from now on, he will not hand over the goods" or "sells the ring to others for two servings", and "just find Tiancan to practice by yourself", it is naturally impossible.

Simply not delivering the goods is of no benefit to Diao Yang, and it will also lead to Murong Xiao spared no effort to investigate his whereabouts and seek revenge.

The same is true if he resells it again. He finally retired and has enough wealth to live up to his old age. Why bother to bring in another party? And that party may also destroy him.

It would be even more unrealistic to find Tiancangong by himself. Diao Yang had to be determined to do this. He ran away with his fingertips today, and he would not come here.

"That's all?" Murong Xiao asked calmly after hearing this.

"That's all." Diao Yang responded.

Murong Xiao pretended to think for a few seconds: "Okay, I can promise you."

"Are you serious?" Diao Yang said.

"If you believe it, you believe it. If you don't believe it, I will say 'take it seriously' to you, isn't it just nonsense?" Murong Xiaodao.

"Okay, that's the word..." Diao Yang seemed to want to end the tug.

"Slowly." Murong Xiao suddenly interrupted, "Just talking like this, it's a bit unimportant, so why don't we have a drink..." He raised his wine glass and signaled another empty glass on the table with his eyes, "...I swear wine."

"Ha..." Diao Yang is not a decent person. He immediately sneered, "Is this necessary?"

"Are you worried that I will poison the wine?" Murong Xiaodao.

"Yes." Diao Yang said.

"But I also drank this wine." Murong Xiao asked again.

"Ha! Mr. Murong, everyone is smart... Why do you pretend to be confused?" Diao Yang smiled, "In this world, the two of them drink together, and one of them is poisoned, and the other is fine, there are more than ten ways to do nothing, right?" He paused again, "I won't say anything else, as far as I know, there is a strange poison called "powerlessness". Although it does not hurt people's lives, it can make people feel weak and unable to use their skills... This thing naturally has no effect on you, but I'll drink it..."

There is no need to continue talking about this when he talks about it.

"Okay... You are cautious, it's natural." Murong Xiao put down his wine glass, but then stretched out his hand, "Then we... slap high fives, is it okay?"

Diao Yang still hesitated.

Murong Xiao said again: "What? I'm afraid that there will be poison on my palm?"

"Hmph..." Diao Yang snorted coldly, thinking in his heart that he was indeed a little bit full of weapons - what's there to dare to hit such a useless person who was powerless?

"Okay, then we... slap high fives as a swear word, and make a decision!" Diao Yang said, then took a step forward, leaned slightly towards the other party, and then gently and quickly patted Murong Xiao's outstretched palm across the table.

But he didn't expect that just as their palms touched each other, Murong Xiao suddenly made a move and grabbed his wrist firmly.

Before this was over, Diao Yang felt an extremely clever force using his joints as a fulcrum, and instantly invaded along his arm nerves, causing half of his body to numb.

The feeling of paralysis had not completely faded, and Diao Yang's center of gravity was guided by the force of grappling, which made him stagger and kneel at the table on one knee.

"You!" Diao Yang was surprised that the other party actually had martial arts skills, and his martial arts skills were not low.

The next second, I heard a "swoosh swish swish swish-" and a light whistle broke the wind, and seven or eight thin hidden weapons shot from behind.

Even if Diao Yang has the best light skills, his wrists will be too far away if he is clamped down like this... In a blink of an eye, all the hidden weapons pierced his thighs.

"How...will..." The poison attached to the hidden weapon quickly began to work, slowing down Diao Yang's heart and lung function.

At this time, Diao Yang turned his head and looked in the direction of the hidden weapon, but saw... a low profile, accompanied by the sound of the wooden wheel rotating, slowly approaching here.

"I never thought that you still remember the 'powerlessness' I was yelling with you when I got drunk." At this time, the "Murong Xiao" who had been talking to Diao Yang at the table spoke again.

However, at this moment, his voice had changed... into Murong Shu's voice.

"You... are..." Diao Yang also recognized this voice.

Because Diao Yang and Murong Shu actually had a relationship many years ago, but later the two broke up because of some things, and then they were in a state of never interacting with each other... Of course that was another story.

"Actually, the poison has been lost for a long time, and I have only seen it in a certain classic at home." Murong Shu, who disguised himself as a son, still did not let go of Diao Yang's wrist at this moment, and even the force on his hands was increasing. "As for the reason why you could not sense my internal strength just now, it was just because I deliberately hid it."

This statement is true and false. Their Murong family has a very rich martial arts background. Murong Shu must know this technique of temporarily hiding internal strength and not being noticed.

Of course, this technique is not a profound secret. It is essentially the same as the method of "internal power amplification". Anyone who has reached a certain level of internal strength can quickly learn it. Many sects also have similar tricks in their mental methods.

"How is it? My 'half-handed victory over the heaven's grasping skills have not regressed, right?" Murong Shu said this with a little hatred.

"Save me quickly! If I die..." Diao Yang had not given up yet and was still trying to survive.
