Chapter 1152: Risky Strategy (Part )

Hearing this, no matter how good Sui Zuo was at disguising himself, he could not hide his joy at surviving the catastrophe. While trying to calm his overjoyed mood, he asked in a trembling voice: “What do you want me to say?”

“Tell them not to just stare at me.” Jin Fuyu said calmly, “In the current Central Plains martial arts world, I am not the only one who wants to compete with you for the world. I am not the only one who is secretly cultivating troops.”

“you are right……”

“I dare to assert that the Xilu Wuzong who suddenly appeared was a cover-up for the Young Qin Prince Yelu Tai to station troops in the Central Plains.”

Hearing this, Sui Zuo frowned, thought about it secretly, and then nodded slightly at Jin Fu Yu to show his agreement.

“I am not a shameless person. Since you let me go, then what happened today…” At this point, Sui Zuo subconsciously glanced at the Mongolian soldiers who were killed or captured outside the tea shed. He hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and continued, “I will not pursue what happened today. But after today, you and I will accept our fate. No one needs to show mercy when we meet on the battlefield.”

“of course.”

Jin Fuyu’s serious answer undoubtedly gave Sui Zuo a reassurance. He looked at Jin Fuyu deeply and saw that he was calm and had no intention of stopping him, so he did not hesitate, exchanged a few words of greeting, and turned away immediately.

“Sui Zuo!”

“Ok?”

“puff!”

“Forehead……”

However, just as Sui Zuo turned around, Jin Fuyu suddenly called his name. Sui Zuo turned around subconsciously to answer, but suddenly saw a flash of silver light, and then his chest felt cold. In an instant, an unbearable piercing pain accompanied by the dissipation of internal strength and the withdrawal of physical strength, struck his whole body at lightning speed, causing Sui Zuo, who was confused, to freeze in place.

When he looked carefully, he was shocked to find that the cold and shining Bingxin Sword had pierced his chest, and the tip of the sword protruded from his back. Round beads of blood flowed along the sword edge like a broken string of beads, dripping onto the ground, interweaving with the rain water in the mud, and gathering into blood pits of varying sizes.

To everyone’s surprise, the person who stabbed out the fatal sword in a flash was Jin Fu Yu, who had just promised to let Sui Zuo go.

A sword pierced through his chest.

It seemed that Jin Fu Yu had planned this sword move in advance, and he did not hesitate or show any mercy when he attacked.

“Jin Fuyu, you…you…”

As the blood flowed faster and faster, an irresistible feeling of weakness made Sui Zuo dizzy and shaky. But until this moment, he was still in deep shock and endless astonishment.

Sui Zuo could not understand until his death why Jin Fuyu killed him on the spot in the blink of an eye when he clearly asked him to go back and pass on the message.

He didn’t even have time to regret his carelessness and angrily scold Jin Fu Yu for breaking his promise, as a large stream of hot and fishy blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

“puff!”

Under Jin Fuyu’s cunning and indifferent gaze, Sui Zuo, who was filled with fear, shame and indignation, became angry again. His body stiffened, his eyes went dark, and his tall and burly body like an iron tower fell straight back, and with a “bang” he hit the muddy ground mixed with blood and rain.

Everything happened so fast that everyone present, except Jin Fu Yu, was stunned by the sudden change and could not react for a long time.

“General…”

The first to roar were Sui Zuo’s eight close bodyguards. They witnessed Sui Zuo’s sudden death with their own eyes and knew that they had no way out, so they were filled with rage and fear. They waved their scimitars like crazy and rushed towards Jin Fu Yu while roaring.

“presumptuous!”

At this moment, Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian reacted much faster than Song Yu and the other three. With a thunderous shout, they flew forward to meet them. The huge gap in martial arts, coupled with the complete confusion of their minds, meant that the eight guards were completely powerless under the attack from both sides by Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian.

In just over ten moves, Shi and Wen killed all eight guards. The teahouse, which had been bustling just now, fell into deathly silence again, with only the “crackling” sound of rain hitting the teahouse, which was monotonous, boring and disorderly without any emotion, just like the trance of the people present.

At this time, the captured Mongolian soldiers and the merchants in the tea stall in front were all terrified and kept silent.

The Mongolian soldiers were worried that Jin Fuyu would kill them all, and the merchants, though they had nothing to do with the incident, were also worried that they would be caught in the crossfire. At the moment, these innocent passers-by regretted stopping here. They should have realized that the atmosphere in the teahouse behind was weird, and they should have stayed away from this place. Let alone heavy rain, what would it matter if it rained knives?
After an unknown amount of silence, Song Yu and the other three, whose minds were blank, slowly came back to their senses. They first looked at Sui Zuo, who had completely lost his vitality, with a complicated expression, then carefully glanced at Jin Fuyu, who showed no emotion, and finally looked at each other, with an inexplicable melancholy on their faces.

Obviously, Song Yu and the other three, who were always good at observing people’s expressions and responding to situations flexibly, completely guessed Jin Fu Yu’s real intention this time, and they were naturally very nervous and uneasy.

After all, the four of them had more opportunities to get in close contact with Jin Fuyu, and they were closer to him in theory. However, in this sudden storm, they made mistakes again and again. First, Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiaoer mocked him openly and secretly, exposing the gap and discord between the two factions, and then they were “annihilated” in the decision to kill Sui Zuo, and no one could satisfy Jin Fuyu.

Based on this, Song Yu and the other three predicted that Jin Fuyu must be extremely disappointed with them and might even punish them severely.

Song Yu knew very well that Jin Fuyu hated those who knew their mistakes but refused to correct them, and he also knew that he could no longer pretend to be ignorant.

Therefore, no matter how timid or reluctant he was, he had to muster up his courage and walk to Jin Fuyu. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and sincerely admitted his mistakes: “Master, I was indeed confused and inconsiderate today…”

“You are called ‘the God of Calculation’ in the Jianghu. I thought you were smart all your life but confused at this moment, but you are smart at this moment but confused all your life.” Jin Fuyu ignored the trembling Song Yu, walked to the side, and stretched out his hand outside the tea shed, letting the drizzling rain drip on his palm, and said calmly, “The Mongolian court sent Sui Zuo to ambush and kill me, which means that I am a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. In their eyes, I am even more difficult to deal with than the rising Liu Xunyi. Therefore, whether I kill Sui Zuo or not, as long as they plan to use troops against the Song Dynasty, they will continue to make trouble for me. In this case, why should I be soft-hearted and cause the world’s heroes to laugh at me?”

“Master, that’s right!”

“Believe it or not, if I let Sui Zuo go, those Tartars will definitely think that I am afraid of them, and then they will bite me like a mad dog. But once I kill Sui Zuo, they will be afraid of me and dare not provoke me again, so as not to follow in Sui Zuo’s footsteps.” Jin Fuyu ignored Song Yu who seemed to have realized something, and continued, “Of course, your concerns are not entirely unreasonable. With Sui Zuo’s status as the General of Xijing, the Mongolian court will not keep quiet even if it wants to maintain its dignity, and will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. But you should also not forget that Luo Tianjin and I are different, and Jinjianwu and Xianwang Mansion are also different. Luoyang City is under the control of the Mongols, and it is not easy to avoid trouble, but Jingjiang Mansion is deep in the heart of the Song Dynasty. The Tartars want revenge? Ha! If they come in small numbers, it will be of no use. If there are many people, there is no need for us to take action, and the Song government will take action.”

“I understand!” Jin Fuyu’s teachings opened Song Yu’s eyes, and his face became more and more ashamed. “Now that Liu Xunyi has taken over the Xianwang Mansion, the Jianghu forces north of Qinhuai that Luo Tianjin controlled in the past will surely submit to him. Since he is now in the limelight, we should simply avoid his edge and confront him north and south with Qinhuai as the boundary. In this way, we can also force Qingcheng and Emei to make up their minds as soon as possible and share the same hatred with us.”

“Not only that!” Ding Ao quickly interrupted, “Sui Zuo was at least a general of Xijing who commanded 50,000 troops. Now that he died inexplicably, the Mongolian court must find someone to pay the price. Jin Jianwu came from the Central Plains martial arts world. Since they are out of reach of us, they will definitely transfer their anger to other forces in the Central Plains martial arts world, and they will definitely choose a force of equal weight to Jin Jianwu in order to shock the tiger and kill the chicken to scare the monkey. In this way, the Liu Xunyi lineage, who is located in Luoyang City and attracts the wind, is undoubtedly the best scapegoat!”

“That’s right!” Leng Yiyi said, “Sui Zuo’s 5,000 soldiers were prepared for the anti-traitor conference from the beginning. In other words, people like Liu Xunyi and Xie Xuan have long been their targets.”

“There is another benefit!” Gradually realizing Jin Fuyu’s foresight, Song Yu’s admiration became more and more evident. “For many years, the Song and Mongolia countries have been in constant friction. Most of the heroes in the Central Plains have resentment towards the ferocious Mongolian Tartars. The fact that killing Mongolians was a qualification for participating in the martial arts conference can be seen. Therefore, once the news of the Mongolian army’s invasion of the south spreads widely, it is bound to arouse the anger of the heroes. The owner of the dock killed Sui Zuo at this critical juncture. It seems that he has offended the Mongolian court and caused trouble for himself. In fact, this trouble has been entangled with us for a long time. Even if we want to avoid it, we can’t avoid it. The owner of the dock is just going with the flow. More importantly, the owner of the dock can take this opportunity to firmly sit on the throne of ‘the first person in the Central Plains martial arts world to hold high the banner of anti-Mongol justice’, which will greatly enhance the prestige of the Golden Sword Dock and win the respect of heroes all over the world. Its popularity, influence, and value are no less than the real leader of the Central Plains martial arts world, and even better than the short-lived Liu Xunyi.”

“That’s right!” Dong Xiao’er complimented him, not wanting to be outdone. “The master’s move of risking one’s life in order to survive is more than just brilliant. It’s simply a divine strategy. Liu Xunyi, Xie Xuan, Teng Sanshi and the like will definitely be left far behind!”

Hearing Song Yu, Ding Ao, Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiaoer arguing with each other, Jin Fu Yu finally looked them in the eye. This made Song Yu and the others feel relieved and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could continue to demonstrate their wisdom, Jin Fu Yu had slowly pulled out the Bing Xin Sword that was inserted into Sui Zuo’s heart, and then inserted it deeply into the ground with a “clang” sound.

The sword body trembled, making bursts of golden sounds, which made Song Yu and the other three, who had just felt at ease, tremble again.

“Today, even a trivial matter like killing someone required me to do it myself. Is it because the older you are in the martial arts world, the less courageous you become?” Jin Fuyu slowly glanced at Song Yu and the other three, and advised meaningfully, “This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time.”

Having said this, Jin Fu Yu suddenly turned around and walked out of the tea stall.

Seeing this, Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian hurriedly opened their umbrellas and chased after him.

In the leaking tea shed, only Song Yu and his three companions who were looking at each other in bewilderment, Sui Zuo whose facial features were hideous and whose eyes were open after death, and eight broken corpses were left.

“Master, what should we do with the captured soldiers and horses?” Wen Lian asked hurriedly before Jin Fuyu boarded the carriage. “There are still two to three thousand people, and most of them are not Tartars. Can we use them for our own purposes…”

Hearing this, Jin Fu Yu’s movement to get on the carriage paused slightly. At the same time, he cast a mysterious look at Wen Lian, but did not say a word for a long time.

“hiss!”

Jin Fuyu’s eyes were like a sharp knife piercing Wen Lian’s heart, making him shudder. He instantly realized that he had said something wrong, his face changed immediately, and he quickly changed his words: “Ambushing and killing the owner of the dock is an unforgivable crime. Don’t spare any of these people! Shi Zhenshan and I will make arrangements immediately…”

“No!” As if he had heard a satisfactory answer, Jin Fuyu got into the carriage without looking back, leaving only an order that could not tell whether he was happy or angry, “You and Shi Zhenshan will go with me, and leave the rest to Song Yu and the others. They have been at ease for too long, and their swords are probably going to rust.”

“Yes…” Wen Lian and Shi Zhenshan looked at each other angrily, and then asked carefully, “Master, those passing merchants…”

“Leave everything to Song Yu. He should know how to make proper arrangements.” Jin Fuyu in the carriage interrupted Wen Lian again, “Tell him that if he makes a mistake again this time, he won’t have to come back.”

“As ordered…”
