C69 The Leader of the Escapees
C69 The Leader of the Escapees
The leaf rotated, but it quickly returned to a certain direction.
"Yi?"
That person was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately plucked it again. In the end, after several tries, the leaf would always move in one direction.
"This!"
Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Yun suddenly walked over and picked up the leaf. He put it in his hand and crushed it, leaving only the small needle in his bosom.
Then he smiled at the person.
That person did not care and shouted loudly, "This is something that can lead the way! No matter how I play with it, it will point in the same direction. Where is this direction? Just now, I didn't know where it pointed to."
He was extremely excited.
Xiao Yun frowned, then sighed and said, "I've already said that this is a secret that won't be spread. Today, I will use it in front of everyone. This is a violation of the rules. Everyone should promise that I will forget about this matter. Why do you want to get to the bottom of this? This matter can save our lives."
That person was stunned once again. He lowered his head in shame. He muttered, "But, but this kind of secret is really too important to my family. If I can master it, the loss of dozens of lives every year can be avoided!"
"Humph!"
Xiao Yun coldly harrumphed, obviously unhappy.
The beauty quickly came forward and explained, "Young Master Xiao, don't blame him. He is the young master of the Hedong Lee family, although we don't have any impression of him in the Imperial Court. But on the road of business, it's a big name. Especially the trade route in the northwest. It has always been controlled by the Hedong Lee family. Because there were many forests and deserts along the route, many people died every day because of the unknown direction. At the same time, they would also lose their goods, which was the biggest loss of the Lee family every year. It was precisely because of this that he was so excited. He hoped that Young Master Xiao would not blame him too much."
Young Master Lee, who was standing beside him, also nodded his head continuously.
Xiao Yun let out a cold snort and said, "Stupid!"
Young Master Lee hurriedly said, "What I mean is, even if it's a secret, as long as we give some compensation, it should be possible..."
"The situation is too small!"
... "As long as that senior needs it, we can provide it. I hope that Young Master Xiao can matchmake him."
Xiao Yun sighed, turned around and said, "I am not talking about this matter, nor am I talking about whether you will give me money. It is just that your layout is too small."
"Plan?"
"The method of direction is a secret that cannot be passed on. It is called the technique of guidance. No matter where it is, as long as you use this secret technique... We, the Qin Country, are surrounded by mountains. Most of them are mountains, forests, and mountains. It is also a desert with no end in sight. This is the biggest impact. It was not just the trade route, but also the army! Every time we go into battle, the enemy can come and go freely, and most of us can only stand guard. It's just that we're not familiar with the terrain in the distance. If the Great Qin's iron army had such a technique, do you think that the effect of this technique is greater than that of your Lee family's merchant group?"
"This!"
Young Master Lee was stunned and looked at Xiao Yun in a daze.
Everyone knew that what Xiao Yun said was correct.
Compared to a trade route, having such a secret technique in the military was definitely more important.
Xiao Yun continued, "But even so, I clearly know how effective this secret technique is. But I never offered it to the king. Why do you think so? Could it be that I want to keep it for sale? You want to use it to seek for some official positions?"
Young Master Lee frantically shook his head.
Xiao Yun sighed again and said slowly, "In this world, the biggest thing is not the rules! There are rules in the country. There are rules in the world, and we need to have our own rules. Back then, I promised that senior that this secret technique would not be taught to outsiders. I won't break my promise for my career or anything else. This is the bottom line of this young master's life, and also this young master's rule. "
After saying that, he turned his head around and sneered, "Do you think I will break my own rule just because of the reward of the Lee family?"
"I dare not, I dare not! I was being rude. Please don't blame me, Young Master Xiao."
Young Master Lee hurriedly apologized.
After experiencing this, not only did he not complain about Xiao Yun, but he was also convinced by his character.
If he were to offer this kind of secret technique to the higher-ups, he would not even need to evaluate it. He would be able to obtain a very good official position.
The fact that he was able to restrain himself from doing so was enough to make people admire him!
When the surrounding people heard this, they hurriedly came forward and expressed that they would keep their promises for Xiao Yun and forget everything they had seen before.
But could they really forget?
Many people were already thinking in their hearts.
They recalled all of Xiao Yun's techniques from before. They were all waiting for him to leave alive before duplicating this method.
Xiao Yun naturally knew what they were planning, but it didn't matter.
The main reason he used this method was to increase his reputation. Why did he need to use such a simple method to obtain some things? He hadn't thought about it.
Now that they knew the direction, the group of people started to walk out.
If they were themselves, they really wouldn't be able to walk out.
The rain was extremely fierce. Not to mention the mud on the ground, the key was that there were some areas that had already caved in. It was just like quicksand and swamps. As long as people sank in, it would be very difficult to climb up, even if someone helped pull it out. Most of them were pulled down along with that person.
Just as they were about to set off, Xiao Yun had prepared a very large wooden board in advance. It was clearly very strenuous, but he carried it with him.
No one understood what he was going to do, and no one dared to ask.
Previously, they had been curious once, and had even criticized him in their hearts. In the end, Xiao Yun had used a small iron needle to slap their faces. This time, they naturally did not dare to speak.
Wait! After someone fell into the swamp, everyone could only watch as that person kept sinking, and Xiao Yun's wooden board came in handy.
He placed the person on the mud ground and pulled him out with force.
"Everyone, do your best to pull together!"
Someone shouted loudly.
He also rushed forward to help Xiao Yun.
"Wait!"
Xiao Yun suddenly shouted, causing everyone to immediately stop what they were doing.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone asked in a low voice, "Young Master Xiao, isn't this the strength of numbers? Everyone wants to help you."
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "I know you guys are kind, but this mud has a strong suction force. If you pull it hard, not only will you not be able to save a person, but you will also forcefully pull a person into two! Sometimes, because his lower body is squeezed, he will lose consciousness. It is not until he is pulled out that he will realize that half of his body is gone."
"Ah?!"
Everyone cried out in alarm.
Xiao Yun continued, "So this force must continue, and it must be pulled in a testing manner. It is like fishing, and it must be pulled into the quagmire below!"
As he said this, the people in the quagmire, although their expressions were pained, really did float up bit by bit.
After another incense stick of time, that person was finally rescued.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yun with even more respect.
"If it wasn't for you, we really don't know what we would have done."
The beauty sighed and smiled gently at Xiao Yun.
The surrounding people nodded in unison.
"Thank me? There's no need for that. Just marry me."
This sentence caused the beauty's face to turn red. She hurriedly turned her head to look around and discovered that the expressions of the group of people were quite strange.
After spitting, the beauty said, "This kind of joke can also be played in front of people?"
Xiao Yun suddenly came to a realization. "Oh, then I understand. Let's wait until there is no one around and then we can settle it when we are alone."
"You!"
The beauty rubbed her forehead helplessly.
This person was shockingly talented. This matter of escaping was even more apparent, his abilities exceptional, his mind tough.
This group of nobles didn't praise him too much. His actions were also extremely fitting to his status.
But only when facing him, this fellow seemed to have changed into another person. His overbearing bearing from before had vanished in an instant, and his natural endowment as a Saint had vanished as well, and only his glib tongue and flirtatious expression remained.
The crux of the matter was that this was completely teasing her!
After all, what he said was truly not trustworthy.
Didn't you see that those people were all smiling, but they didn't take Xiao Yun's words seriously at all?
Shaking her head helplessly, the beauty could only pretend that she didn't hear anything and let Xiao Yun speak nonsense.
Xiao Yun, on the other hand, saw that he didn't get the reaction he should have, so he was a little dispirited. He curled his lips and ordered his men to search for dried wood in the surroundings. He used a knife to cut a wooden plank, and everyone carried it with them. If they were in danger, at least they wouldn't sink immediately. It could also provide some time for other people's treatment.
