Chapter 514: No Plan Left Out
After Xiao Zhirou left, Luo Tianjin summoned Xie Xuan, Yan Bugui and Murong Bai to the main hall and revealed Xiao Zhirou's plan to them.

Hearing this, Xie Xuan and the other two couldn't help but look at each other, and there was admiration in their eyes when they looked at Luo Tianjin.

"The Mongols really haven't given up on Yun Zhuiyue. The Palace Master has a brilliant plan. We admire him!"

However, facing Xie Xuan's compliments, Luo Tianjin seemed a little bitter. He shook his head with tired eyes and murmured, "But I didn't expect that she would be willing to go to danger alone for Yun Zhuiyue."

"This……"

Seeing Luo Tianjin's gloomy mood, Xie Xuan naturally understood that he was jealous, so he hastily swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, rolled his eyes, and said in comfort: "If the Palace Master didn't distrust Yun Zhuiyue, I believe that Master Xiao would not have resorted to such a desperate measure. After all, she is still concerned about the Palace Master..."

"That's it!"

At this moment, Luo Tianjin was upset and didn't want to dwell on his children's private affairs, so he waved his hand impatiently, and then changed the subject and said seriously: "Since everything is within our expectations, we should act according to the plan next."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan and the other two became more spirited. They straightened their bodies unconsciously, looking cautious as if they were waiting to be ordered.

"Xiao Zhirou is unwilling to tell me the secret code that Yun Zhuiyue and the Mongols have agreed upon, so it is difficult for us to send someone to sneak through. We can only rely on Xiao Zhirou to break the deadlock." Luo Tianjin frowned slightly and pondered, "We only have one chance. If we fail, we will have no choice but to fight to the death with the Mongolian army. There will be heavy casualties by then. I'm afraid that seven or eight out of ten people on Huashan will become ghosts under the sword of the Tartars. If the Central Plains martial arts world is seriously damaged, it will take at least 20 to 30 years to recover. The Mongolian iron hoofs are ready to fight at any time, watching covetously. Once the war starts, the world will be in chaos. No one will be left unharmed. I don't know if the Song Dynasty can hold on for 20 to 30 years, let alone the Central Plains martial arts world? Therefore, the opportunity cannot be missed and it will never come again. Tonight we can only succeed, not fail!"

"What the Palace Master said is absolutely right." Xie Xuan nodded and said, "Once the truth comes out, if we can't escape, Sui Zuo will be furious and will fight us to the death."

"It is wise to capture the leader of the bandits, but it is also necessary to catch them by surprise and defeat them with one move. Sui Zuo is a general in command of troops. He is in the camp with many guards around him. How can ordinary people get close to him easily? Once Master Xiao's intention is exposed, Sui Zuo's guards will fight to the death. In a short time, they can open up a way for Sui Zuo to survive and order the army to encircle Master Xiao." Murong Bai said worriedly, "Even though Master Xiao is a martial arts master, she is weak after all. If she goes deep into the tiger's den, I am afraid..."

"That's right!" Yan Bugui continued, "Once a martial arts master is trapped in a huge army, no matter how powerful his martial arts skills are, he will definitely die under the swords. There is no doubt about this."

"Don't forget that Sui Zuo is not only surrounded by a large number of guards, but Yan Wuji is also very likely in his camp." Xie Xuan reminded, "Besides that, we also don't know whether Yan Wuji has brought any masters from Red Wind Ridge."

Luo Tianjin silently listened to the speculations of Xie Xuan and the other two, and thought: "Because of this, Xiao Zhirou must not go alone. She must have at least three or five helpers around her to take care of each other."

"The Palace Master wants to arrange for an expert to escort him?" Xie Xuan asked in surprise, "But what if it arouses Sui Zuo's vigilance..."

"I have discussed it with Xiao Zhirou. In order to avoid Sui Zuo's suspicion, Tang Xuan and Li Haitang will accompany her." Luo Tianjin said, "Sui Zuo has met them and knows that they are from Longxiang Mountain, so he can dispel some of his concerns."

"With Master and Disciple Tang Xuan leading the way, we may be able to meet Sui Zuo smoothly." Murong Bai hesitated, "But these two are good at using hidden weapons. If we fight head-on, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."

"Therefore, we need to send some more experts to accompany us."

"The Palace Master means..."

"Pick a few good fighters from various sects, disguise them as Longxiang Mountain disciples, and go down the mountain with Xiao Zhirou."

Yan Bugui asked doubtfully, "How can we gain Sui Zuo's trust if Yun Zhuiyue doesn't show up?"

"It's okay!" Luo Tianjin said quietly, "Sui Zuo knows very well that Yun Zhuiyue and I are irreconcilable. Now that I've been elected as the leader of the martial arts world, it's reasonable for me to not let Yun Zhuiyue go easily. In addition, I already know the secret of their secret collusion, so it's reasonable for me to keep going after Yun Zhuiyue. Tonight, Xiao Zhirou will go down the mountain in the name of 'leaking information', ask Sui Zuo for help on behalf of Yun Zhuiyue, and wait for an opportunity to capture him."

"Since the Mongols knew that Yun Zhuiyue was defeated, I believe they have already arranged spies to closely monitor every move of the martial arts conference." Xie Xuan pondered carefully, "If so, Sui Zuo should also know that Yun Zhuiyue is deeply in love with Xiao Zhirou, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary. In this case, it seems reasonable for Xiao Zhirou to tip off Yun Zhuiyue."

Luo Tianjin sneered: "As early as when Yan Wuji helped Tang Xuan go to the Xianwang Mansion to rescue Tang Afu, they already knew that Longxiang Mountain and Jueqing Valley had a close relationship."

Murong Bai said worriedly, "But Xiao Zhirou helped the Palace Master to deal with Yun Zhuiyue during the decisive battle. This incident must have reached Sui Zuo's ears. How can we explain it?"

"The relationship between men and women is the most complicated thing in the world." Luo Tianjin said quietly, "After this incident, I'm sure the complicated relationship between me, Xiao Zhirou, and Yun Zhuiyue will spread like wildfire, and all kinds of rumors will spread. Women's hearts are like needles in the sea. No matter what strange things Xiao Zhirou does between me and Yun Zhuiyue, once the word 'debt of love' is mentioned, it will become nothing new."

Having said this, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but laugh at himself, as if complaining that he had said too much, and then said: "What's more, Xiao Zhirou doesn't need to gain Sui Zuo's trust at all, she's just looking for an excuse to get close to him."

Hearing this, Xie Xuan and the other two nodded in agreement.

"Who does the Palace Master intend to send to accompany him?"

"Since we are here to tip off, the number of people should not be too large." Luo Tianjin thought, "Hui Qiu from the Emei Sect, Gong Qing from the Qingcheng Sect, Tang Yu from the Tang Sect, and Qin San from the Qin Clan."

"This..." Murong Bai was shocked and said in astonishment, "Why didn't the Palace Master draw masters from Shaolin, Wudang and other sects that are close to us? Instead, he chose to recruit masters from our mortal enemy..."

"shut up!"

Luo Tianjin showed an unhappy expression and interrupted, "Now that I am the leader of the martial arts world, how can there be any distinction between close and distant people? The martial arts factions are of the same blood and are as close as brothers. How can there be any mortal enemies? Don't mention such nonsense that goes against the moral principles of the martial arts world again in the future!"

"Yes." Murong Bai's face changed and he quickly bowed to apologize.

Seeing Luo Tianjin's indignant look, a strange light flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes.

After a little thought, Xie Xuan had seen through Luo Tianjin's true intentions. He wanted to take this opportunity to test how much respect the Emei, Qingcheng and other sects had for him, the leader of the martial arts world.

Moreover, today's crisis concerns the life and death of all sects. Luo Tianjin is not afraid that they will cheat and refuse to do their best.

First, to test their attitude towards the leader of the martial arts world. Second, to take the opportunity to issue orders to them and show off his authority as the leader.

Third, give your opponent a chance to save the martial arts world and demonstrate your magnanimous mind.

Fourthly, if there are casualties, at least it will not harm Luo Tianjin’s foundation. Instead, Shaolin and Wudang will be grateful to him.

Luo Tianjin's move seemed to be done effortlessly and casually, but in fact, he killed four birds with one stone and had ulterior motives.

"It's getting late, you should split up and do your part!" Luo Tianjin glanced at the sun gradually setting outside the window and gave an order, "Murong Bai, pass on my order to summon Hui Qiu, Gong Qing, Tang Yu, and Qin San to the Abbey Garden of Jueqing Valley and wait for Valley Master Xiao's orders. There's no need to make this matter clear. If you encounter any obstacles, just tell them that this is a matter of life and death. If you dare to disobey, you will be an enemy of the leader of the martial arts world and the heroes of the world. Remember, don't tell anyone about this matter."

"Yes!" Murong Bai immediately accepted the order and quickly left the main hall.

"The geese are not coming back!" Luo Tianjin said again, "Lead people to various places in Huashan. Tell everyone to gather at the southeast mountain road at the beginning of the night hour. We will go to Luoyan Valley together."

"As ordered!"

"Brother Xie, go to Wudang Villa and tell Taoist Qingfeng to immediately send people to seal off all the fortresses down the mountain." Luo Tianjin ordered in an orderly manner, "Except for Xiao Zhirou and her group, no one else is allowed to go down the mountain without permission to prevent the news from leaking out."

"no problem."

After receiving the order, Xie Xuan wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Luo Tianjin: "Wait! After going to Wudang, go to Shaolin Villa again and ask Abbot Xuanming to send someone to monitor Longxiang Mountain to prevent Yun Zhuiyue from playing tricks."

"it is good."

This time, Xie Xuan did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood in front of Luo Tianjin with a suspicious look on his face and asked, "Palace Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Luo Tianjin frowned and looked into Xie Xuan's eyes. He seemed to want to say something several times but ultimately could not utter a single word.

As if sensing Luo Tianjin's uneasiness, Xie Xuan asked tentatively: "What is the Palace Master worried about?"

"I don't know." Luo Tianjin's face was gloomy, and he shook his head slowly, "Xie brother, tonight is a matter of life and death, but I happen to be injured, it's really...uneasy."

How could Xie Xuan not understand this concern?

If Luo Tianjin is pain-free and disaster-free today and is in peak condition, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, and the sky collapses and the earth collapses, he will be able to face it with a smile and remain calm.

Because he had enough confidence and capital, he could at least fight his way out of the vast enemy army and leave Huashan alive.

However, things are different now. Luo Tianjin is seriously injured and unable to fight anymore. He even needs help from others to take a few more steps. How can he fight his way out?
Tonight, Luo Tianjin can only pin his hopes on Xiao Zhirou, hoping that she can allow him to leave Huashan safely without bloodshed.

At this moment, Luo Tianjin really couldn't stand any more. Once a melee broke out, without the desperate protection of Xie Xuan and others, he would be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

This section also indirectly confirms the selfishness and narrow-mindedness in Luo Tianjin's bones. No matter how high-sounding his words are, in fact, deep in his heart... he doesn't trust anyone except himself.

"Don't worry, my Lord. We received news this morning that Deng Changchuan led his men to the Wei River last night and is ready to pick us up at any time." Xie Xuan comforted him, "As long as we get down the mountain smoothly tonight, we can board the ship before dawn. Once we leave the border of Huazhou, even if Sui Zuo sends a million troops, they will never catch up with us."

"understood."

Luo Tianjin nodded absentmindedly, looking as if he was feeling very depressed.

"Palace Master!" Xie Xuan's heart moved, and he reminded in a low voice, "Now, Jin Fu Yu is at the end of his strength, why don't we take this opportunity..." Before he finished speaking, Xie Xuan gently touched his neck with his hand, the deep meaning of which was self-evident.

"No hurry!" Luo Tianjin shook his head and said, "Now is a time of trouble. All martial arts sects must work together and advance and retreat together. If we attack Jin Fuyu at this critical moment, it will inevitably cause panic among the four major families, Qingcheng and Emei. If there is an internal conflict in Huashan, we will be the ones who suffer, and Sui Zuo will get the advantage for nothing."

"The Lord of the Mansion is right. I was not thoughtful enough."

“Brother Xie, we have just taken the throne of the leader of the martial arts world. Our foundation is not stable yet, and we have not won over the people’s hearts. Therefore, we must not put the cart before the horse and misjudge the importance of things, so as not to give others a handle.” Luo Tianjin explained, “Although some people are thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh, there is no need to rush to get rid of them. After all, there is a long way to go. As for Jin Fuyu…”

At this point, a very obscure cold light suddenly flashed in Luo Tianjin's eyes, and he said mysteriously: "Even if he dies, he can't die in Huashan, and can't die in our hands."

Xie Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on. He bowed and said, "The Palace Master is wise. I know what to do."

"That's right!" Suddenly, Luo Tianjin's eyes changed, and then he threw the jade bottle sent by Xiao Zhirou to Xie Xuan, saying, "Jiang Yiwei is poisoned. This is the antidote sent by Yun Zhuiyue. Take it to the doctor and detoxify Jiang Yiwei as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Tell them that they must save Jiang Yiwei's life at all costs and wake him up as soon as possible. If Jiang Yiwei dies, these quack doctors...will all be buried with him!"
