Yang Tafeng's answer sounded casual, but Jiang Ming heard a lot of things, such as Yang Tafeng's control of Jiaozhi City, as well as the eyeliner placed in the city, and his analysis of the external situation, all of which made Jiang Ming feel that Yang Tafeng was not just a city lord, not just a city lord who had been guarding the city for fifteen years.

Jiang Ming hesitated for a long time and said, "Sheep Tower Wind City Lord, I don't know what you brought me here for? Could it be that you really want me to listen to your stories of struggle?"

Yang Tafeng smiled: "It's funny, since General Jiang Ming thinks it's boring, then I'll say it's true." You may not know that I was assassinated a few days ago, and now I am lucky enough to be sitting here, and I am already in a blessing. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Yangta Wind City Lord, I don't know what you are doing with this, I can say very responsibly that I have not assassinated you." Although we are in the opposing camp, there is no reason to attack you now, and the enemy of Wohua Mountain is Pang Lu, not you Yangtafeng. You don't want to have anything to do with Pang Lu, although you agree that Pang Lu will lead the army to be stationed in Jiaozhi City, and even give all the tasks of city defense to Pang Lu without any conditions, so you can see that your interest is no longer about the victory or defeat of our battle, but on this Jiaozhi City. ”

Yang Tafeng said: "You are right, but I have no reason to be your enemy, of course I am not because of this assassination I want to frame anyone, I know the identity of the murderer, so I will not rely on these to embarrass you." ”

Jiang Ming said, "Then what are you for?"

Yangta Feng said: "I should have said it when I brought you here, otherwise you wouldn't have come." He is the one who wanted to kill you in Cochin City, do you want to get acquainted? ”

Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, and his palms were sweaty, but he didn't show any special panic, and pretended to be normal: "I felt this way from the first time I saw him, but I didn't expect it to be true, both unexpected and expected." ”

Yang Tafeng smiled: "What do you say?"

Jiang Ming said: "Then it should be you who wanted to kill me in the first place, right?"

Yang Ta Feng said: "That's true, but now it seems that it is more valuable to let you live than to let you die." ”

A killing intent flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes, and he saw that the man in black was already standing in front of Yang Tafeng silently, if Jiang Ming made any move, he could take the lead in blocking and counterattacking.

"Nine-Rank Grandmaster, it's really extraordinary. Jiang Ming unwillingly picked up the tea, poured it into his mouth, and then glanced at the two of them resentfully, and said, "I have already said that it is a powerful relationship before, I don't have many inextricable grudges with you Yangtafeng, I am curious, what reason do you want to kill me?"

Yang Tafeng said: "This matter, in fact, it is just a guess, and I don't need to hide it from you, because your news itself is already very magical, so I came to a conclusion, all the martial arts you practice must be at the level of Yue Zi, and there may even be a certain possibility of empty word level, so I want to kill you and take your exercises." This reason is to say that it is a crime of murder and robbery, and it is not a righteous and bright light, but it is really the only reason. ”

Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, and said: "Your method of judging is also problematic, why do you think that I must have a high-level mortal martial arts, in case you kill me, but you only get ordinary martial arts?"

Yang Tafeng smiled slightly and said, "I was really not sure before, but now I can be sure." Only people with high-level exercises would say that the Martial Character Exercise is an ordinary exercise, because in their eyes, there are many people in the Qin Dynasty who have reached the seventh or even eighth stage, and they have not even practiced the most basic Martial Character Exercises. ”

Jiang Ming was silent and did not speak, Yang Tafeng undoubtedly guessed very correctly, which made Jiang Ming even more frightened, if he was only facing the assassination of a nine-stage grandmaster, he would not be mentally afraid, but when he was facing the layout of a schemer, he would experience layer after layer of horror, which was the thing that made his spirit torture enough.

Yang Tafeng also felt the change in Jiang Ming's expression, and said, "Don't be nervous, if I still want to kill you, I naturally won't come forward myself, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to kill you again?" He is the fourth martial arts master of the Nine-Rank Soul Realm of the Qin Dynasty, and even four or five eight-stage peak martial arts masters have not stopped him. ”

Jiang Ming said coldly: "Maybe you don't know, if I know who wants to kill me, my future goal is to kill that person, whether it is the ninth rank or the status realm, there will be no difference." ”

I believe in this sentence, I can see from your various materials, you value love and righteousness, but also heavy grudges, owe people ten times to pay back, and enmity with others a hundred times to solve, although I am a little disdainful of this kind of temperament, but I have to say that it is very much like a decent character in a storytelling. But ......" Yang Tafeng paused, stared at Jiang Ming's eyes tightly, and said: "But you don't have the ability to take revenge now, so you can only wait for the improvement of your own strength, during this period we will not kill you, but for the sake of the necessary interests, we can put these aside and make a deal first." ”

Jiang Ming said: "What deal?"

Yang Tafeng said: "Help me defeat Pang Lu and drive his soldiers out of Jiaozhi City." ”

Jiang Ming said: "This is not a transaction, I am now the general of Wohua Mountain, originally this is my task, but I want to know why you have such thoughts?"

Yang Tafeng said: "Because his soldiers have seriously affected the lives of the people in my city, is this reason enough?"

"Not enough!" Jiang Ming snorted coldly and said: "Although I know that you treat the people of Jiaozhi City very well, but I will not be angry with Pang Lu because of these things, after all, Pang Lu is a second-grade official of the Qin Dynasty, and he still has 80,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if he annoys him, he may be able to directly change this Jiaozhi City to a city lord." ”

Yang Tafeng said: "That's true, but if I say it's because I've been threatened, Pang Lu must have murderous intentions towards me, is it worth proposing this deal?"

Jiang Ming thought for a long time and said, "If you want to say that the person who assassinated you is Pang Lu, then you have enough reasons to fight back." But first of all, I think that it will definitely not be the Pang Lu faction who assassinated you, Pang Lu is already very difficult to face us, it is rare to have you to manage Jiaozhi City, provide his soldiers with a part of the food and grass supply and the right to live for a long time, in order to ensure the stability of his rear, Pang Lu naturally will not choose to die by himself. And even if Pang Lu kills you, you will not choose to be the enemy of Pang Lu, because you know very well that if you clash with Pang Lu on the surface, it must be the people of Jiaozhi City who will suffer, although I am not convinced of your character to that extent, but there is no reason to believe that you will not harm your own people, even if it is for your own life. ”

Yang Tafeng sighed and said: "It's rare that you can analyze it so thoroughly, as you think, that assassination was not done by Pang Lu and his generals, and I also think in my heart that the people of Jiaozhi City are more important than anything else, but I can't continue to hide it now, only by ending this war as soon as possible, can Jiaozhi City restore stability." ”

Jiang Ming said: "What do you mean by this? If you want to stabilize the situation, it is not necessarily to defeat Pang Lu, even if you defeat Pang Lu, the Qin Dynasty may send other generals to come, and your Jiaozhi City is still in the midst of war." Compared to that, it seems that it is easier to deal with Wohua Mountain with all its strength and wipe out the mountain bandits in Wohua Mountain, right?"

Yang Tafeng said: "As you think, but, do you know, the person who assassinated me that time was the Fourth Prince Qiu Jue. ”

"Qiu Jue?" Jiang Ming was shocked again, he was a little afraid now when he heard this name, the scene layout the day before yesterday, and even the three powerful people in the Xia Dye City, this kind of ability was enough to make anyone in the Qin Dynasty talk about it, Jiang Ming could not hide this emotion, and said slowly: "How could Qiu Jue get involved in the Jiaozhi battlefield?"

Yang Tafeng said: "You are nominally the sworn brother of the Four Princes, but in fact, you know very little about the Four Princes Qiu, the Four Princes noticed the importance of the Jiaozhi battlefield a long time ago, and if you master the beginning and end of the war, you can have the strategic initiative." At the beginning of the Jiaozhi War, Qiu Jue had already extended his hand here, and the loss of the blood red agate was Qiu Juebu's bureau, and I should have been removed from my official position because of this matter, but it was also because of Qiu Jue's means that I was able to keep my position as the lord of Jiaozhi City. I assisted him in his actions after him, and even passed on the news many times, until a few days ago I besieged the Liu family, because I did not allow any more overlord families to exist in Jiaozhi City, so I decided to kill Liu Qidun. And Qiu Jue sent me a letter at that time, asking me to leave Liu Qidun's life. ”

Jiang Ming's expression was a little subtle, and he said: "But you still decided to kill Liu Qidun to prevent future troubles?" I have to say, you, the city lord of Jiaozhi, are really powerful, and you even dare to disobey the prince's orders." ”

Yang Tafeng smiled bitterly: "There is no way, I have a lot of ideas for Jiaozhi City, even if he rescued me, but I can't listen to his decision, the Liu family has done a lot of evil, if I don't kill him, how can I be worthy of more than 200,000 people in Jiaozhi? Anyway, they were all secretly transmitted, and there was no official evidence to prove it, so I could naturally assume that I had not seen it, although it was just a self-deceptive idea. ”

Jiang Ming said, "What is the result?"

Yang Tafeng said: "The result is naturally that your six commanders of Wohua Mountain, Lin Han, secretly made a deal with Liu Qidun and rescued him, I thought you knew this very well." Since then, I can be regarded as breaking with the Fourth Prince, Qiu Jue, and I have no intention of causing trouble with Meng Jianyan, even if I don't care, but their anger will be released on me sooner or later. ”

Jiang Ming said, "Is that the assassination?"

Yang Tafeng nodded, and said: "The one who shot was a martial arts master of the eighth rank, and he used a professional assassination technique, I couldn't have won it, if I hadn't learned some punches and kicks before, I was afraid that I would be killed by that killer." Then, it was he who intervened, saved me, chased the killer for a long time, and then learned the identity of the other party. ”

Jiang Ming slowly looked at the man in black, and found that his eyes were full of indifference, and he didn't seem to be interested in everything Yang Tafeng said, which made Jiang Ming wonder what the identity of this suddenly born nine-stage grandmaster was.

Yang Tafeng also noticed Jiang Ming's gaze, and said: "You don't have to guess his identity, even the news network of the seventh act can't reveal his real name, so naturally I won't tell you." But he is my man, someone I trust, and will protect my life to a certain extent. ”

Jiang Ming said: "You are lucky, you are willing to kidnap a nine-stage grandmaster to protect you, as the fourth nine-stage grandmaster of the Qin Dynasty, once his identity is exposed, I am afraid that your life will not be stable." ”

Yang Ta Feng pondered: "Qiu Jue should already know that there is a nine-stage martial arts master by my side, he went to hunt down and kill that martial arts master that day, but in fact, he did not directly kill him, but judged that the killer had no chance of surviving by judging the killer's injuries." If the killer can go back, he will definitely pass the news to Qiu Jue, so that his identity will be exposed. ”

Jiang Ming said: "What does his identity have to do with the Jiaozhi battlefield?"

Yang Tafeng said: "The Qin Dynasty reproduced a nine-stage martial arts master, the impact on the court is huge, you don't know the influence of the martial arts master on a country, he will inevitably be recruited and suppressed by countless people after he appears, and more importantly, the position of the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses of the Qin Dynasty, which has been vacant for many years, will also become hot, so you should know, right?"

Jiang Ming said slowly: "Pang Lu was originally the best candidate for the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses, but Pang Lu has been difficult to promote to the ninth section for many years, and his sudden appearance is likely to snatch the honor that should belong to Pang Lu, even if Pang Lu does not take action, but the officials who are inclined to Pang Lu, and the prince who supports Pang Lu behind him will definitely use all means to erase the hidden dangers, this is the crisis he will face." ”

Yang Ta Feng said: "Not only that, the purpose of the Fourth Prince's intervention in the battlefield is obvious, to control the balance of the war, so that the two of you do not lose or win, so that you can attract the eyes of most officials in the dynasty, so as to ensure that you are in good health." But Pang Lu's methods are becoming more and more ferocious, all he wants is victory, he doesn't care at all about my Jiaozhi City and the people in the city, I left a spy by his side, I can know the plan he designed, he even wants to use the weapon of sulfur fire bombs to introduce you into Jiaozhi City and wipe it out, and the consequence of this is that my Jiaozhi people have suffered countless casualties. I can't allow him to garrison Cochin anymore, I'm going to drive him out, so I can only ask you for your cooperation. ”

Jiang Ming was silent for a long time, and said: "I have to say, if what you say is true, I admire you very much, at least as the city lord of Jiaozhi City, you are worthy of the people in the city, there are very few officials like you in this Qin Dynasty." ”

Yang Tafeng said: "I am not an official, and I have not let the people live a good life in the past fifteen years, even if there is some salvation now, but I still can't refute the fact that I ruled the city in vain." ”

Jiang Ming thought for a long time and asked, "Lord Yangcheng, how are you going to trade with me?"

Yang Tafeng smiled: "It's not how we trade, but I help you defeat Pang Lu and drive this army out of Jiaozhi City, it doesn't matter which side of Jiaozhi City is attached to, as the city lord of Jiaozhi City, I only care about the people of this city." What do you think?"

Jiang Ming said in disbelief: "You really don't have anything to ask for? In this case, I wouldn't dare to trade with you." Any transaction is a back-and-forth, and if a genuine businessman is willing to serve the other party without pay, I can see it as a conspiracy. ”

Yang Ta Feng said: "No matter what you think, my current goal is like this, if I really have anything to say, as long as you can defeat Pang Lu as soon as possible, you can do whatever you want." If I had to ask for a reason, it would be that I do not harm my people. As long as this city is still there, as long as the sheep tower wind is still there, the people of Jiaozhi City will not die. ”

Jiang Ming nodded, no matter what the purpose of Yangtafeng was, even if he didn't have a purpose, Jiang Ming would choose to trade with it, because the current Wohua Mountain needed such a powerful boost. Yang Tafeng promised that on the night after tomorrow, the black-clothed men of the ninth rank would come to the Wohua Mountain military camp to help them defend the military camp and even kill the Qin army general.

After Jiang Ming left, the black-clothed man Zhu Fu also sat aside, and said towards the Yang Tower: "What do you want to do? Cooperate with Wohua Mountain? Even if they are different from ordinary mountain bandits, they are still mountain bandits, you are now an official of the Qin Dynasty, and I used to be, even if you and I are in danger now, but I still don't want to do these things." ”

"It's not up to us to decide if you don't want to do it. Qiu Jue is already aware of your existence, and after today, Act 7 will definitely focus more on your search, and if you are fully exposed, your fate will become extremely miserable. What I said before is true, the reason why you are asked to help Wohua Mountain is not only to protect the people of Jiaozhi City, but also to protect you, only by getting you into a relationship with all forces, it will be difficult for Qiu Jue to find you, after all, what you did fifteen years ago was also related to Qiu Jue. And according to the various news that came back, Meng Qiyan seems to have taken refuge in Qiu Jue, if you are targeted by him, you will be really in trouble. ”

Zhu Xuan said: "Fifteen years ago, Ling Tongzhi, the nine-year-old fourth prince Qiu Jue, is really a ridiculous scene, who would have thought that a dignified third-grade official would actually frame a child less than ten years old? But it's okay, killing people is always a small way, and if you can rehabilitate me according to your plan, that will be the real victory. ”

Yang Tafeng sighed, then got up and left his seat, and said, "Being framed for fifteen years, it is too difficult to rehabilitate, and we still have a long way to go." ”
