In the city lord's mansion, Yang Tafeng didn't seem to feel the changes in the city, even if Wohua Mountain exterminated the Qin soldiers who were protecting the city, and replaced the power originally executed by Pang Lu's subordinates, and even as if he was showing off his bright feathers, all the soldiers were talking happily in the city, and he was still not the slightest surprised. It seems that the current situation is the normal situation.

Yangtafeng is very famous in the Jiaozhi area, although the sentinels outside came one after another, but still did not interrupt his leisurely mood, compared to let Pang Lu come to regency Jiaozhi, the arrival of Wohua Mountain made him more happy. It's just that outsiders don't know, and even the soldiers under him think that Yangtafeng has no choice, after all, now that Wohua Mountain has entered the city, if he rashly starts a war with it, it will undoubtedly cause a large number of casualties among the people.

After the fall of the three overlord families one by one, he implemented a new policy to reduce taxes, a series of means to truly safeguard the interests of ordinary people, and those who did evil officials and gentry are all in danger, after being killed by Pang Lu by iron-blooded means, these remaining big families do not dare to make trouble again, although the current Jiaozhi City is not peaceful, but the people's hearts are extremely cohesive.

It is their rare luxury that the people can live and work in peace and contentment in the troubled times, and whoever can give them a peaceful and stable life will be biased in which way the people will preference, which is the unchanging rule for thousands of years. In addition to the deeds of eliminating the three major families, Yangtafeng has almost no other merits for the people, but in the eyes of the people, Yangtafeng is their savior.

Zhu Wu slowly approached the mansion, he was already a nine-stage martial arts master, and he could completely rely on his flexible body technique to flash into the city lord's mansion without being discovered by anyone, but he didn't do it, Yang Tafeng once sighed and said, since the last assassination, Zhu Wu's existence has been known by the four princes, and there is no greater point in hiding it.

The moment he entered the city lord's mansion, he tore off his masked black scarf, revealing his face full of scars, if the old ministers of the Qin Dynasty must remember this face, the former high-ranking official of a county, the victim of the former prince's snake mystery case, his name is Ling Tongzhi, according to the records of the Criminal Department, he is dead.

Zhu Disaster walked into the mansion, and several captains with affairs left, they were already familiar with this person's face, and they knew very well what his identity was in front of the city lord Yang Ta Feng, but no one dared to talk about it, as Yang Ta Feng's henchmen, if they were a little careless, they would cause a big disaster, these basic principles, they were still very clear.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Yang Tafeng stopped the movements of his hand, poured a bowl of bee sugar wine with his back to the visitor, and said enthusiastically: "Good luck is coming, my bee sugar wine can also be drunk, the bee sugar wine at this time is quite rare, come and taste it!"

Zhu Wu sat down with a cold face, glanced at the smiling face of Yang Ta Feng, and there was something he didn't understand, but according to his understanding of Yang Ta Feng, he had no reason to suspect Yang Ta Feng, so he took a sip of the bowl of bee sugar wine, and said, "It's too sweet, it's not suitable for me, give me a smaller bowl next time." ”

Yang Tafeng smiled, his face was not only vicissitudes, but also a little incomprehensible happiness, he said: "If you don't like to drink, don't drink, and say anything about changing a smaller bowl, you actually like this taste, right?"

This time, Zhu Yu did not deny it again. He took another sip of wine, the mellow sweetness after the sourness really made his nerves relax a lot, and he said comfortably: "It's like what we have suffered in the past fifteen years, and now it's really going to be sweet." ”

Yang Tafeng smiled and sat on the opposite side of the blessing, and began to taste the flavor of the personal mixture, tasting and tasting, he gave birth to a lot of emotion for no reason, looked up to the sky and closed his eyes to ponder, but he did not make a sound, tasted it again, and sighed lightly at the moment when he put down the wine bowl.

"Bee sugar wine, in fact, is not considered wine, because it does not have the characteristics of wine, it cannot be intoxicating. This also leads to its existence, after all, it is only a pastime on the table of some people, and even many people have never heard of its name, let alone know how it is brewed. ”

But this kind of wine seems to represent a spirit, is the unique spirit of this region, only people who know this wine, can stand on the cusp of life, bear countless scars, and finally, bitter than sweet. ”

Yang Tafeng smiled slightly, this smile brought up a lot of wrinkles on his face, and looked more closely, the hair on his head was already half white, this is not like the appearance of a person who has just stepped into the threshold of the age of not being confused, Yang Tafeng's smile is very gentle, if it is someone else, he will definitely think that he is just an ordinary old man, not a city lord who has gone through hardships.

Yang Tafeng said with a smile: "This bee sugar wine, unlike other wines, you must use a big bowl to drink it, and you will lose your spirit if you use a small bowl." Of course, I made this one up myself, and I think it's pretty good. ”

Zhu Fu finished drinking the wine in the bowl and said slowly: "On the way to Sihai City, the barbarian soldiers and the Qin soldiers fought head-on, and I took the opportunity to kill Luo Yaohua and Mu Yucheng, and as for the general named Kou Xiuyong, he fled. ”

"It's expected!" Yang Tafeng nodded, poured another bowl for Zhu Yao, and then said: "I haven't heard of Mu Yucheng, but it's a pity that Luo Yaohua, the most outstanding general of the Luo family's new generation, even in the court, has a certain influence, but the young heroes have died here, and the Luo family has been loyal for several generations, but there is no Luo Yaohua in this area, I am afraid that it will be suppressed by several other families." ”

Zhu Wu looked at the extra bowl of wine in front of him, his expression was a little sluggish, but he still picked up the wine bowl again and drank it, and couldn't help but say: "In your words, it seems that it is not just a pity for Luo Yaohua, don't you think Kou Xiuyong is strange?"

Yang Ta Feng said: "Kou Xiuyong, being able to escape under you, a genuine nine-rank martial arts master, I have to say that you still have some ability, but it has no impact on the overall situation, so it can't attract my attention." After the defeat of the three generals, the Qin army should not have the strength to fight again, the barbarian army controls the city of the four seas, and the Daming Grottoes defeat Pang Lu to occupy the area of the Jiaozhi Mountains, and the current pattern is undoubtedly more conducive to the city of Jiaozhi. ”

"Do you call this pattern beneficial to Jiaozhi City?" Zhu Wu flicked his sleeves angrily, and said coldly: "You have forgotten the existence of Wohua Mountain, although they were consumed by Pang Lu into remnants, but they are still a force that cannot be ignored, they have entered Jiaozhi City, but it has caused a huge impact on the people, if they want to kill you in the future, and want to control Jiaozhi City completely, this is also a huge problem." ”

Yangta Feng said: "What you said is also true, Wohua Mountain is a mountain bandit after all, and the people's perception of them is still too bad, in fact, it is like this in the entire Qin Dynasty." Wohua Mountain's shocking ideas are indeed conducive to their development, 'the sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand' is suitable for brainwashing the soldiers of Wohua Mountain, and 'Juyi Jing' is the rationalization of the rebellion, coupled with Wohua Mountain's gentle behavior, and it is also extremely caring for the people, which makes Wohua Mountain better than Daming Grottoes in concept, and they have become the first mountain bandit organization in the Qin Dynasty, and it is not without reason. ”

Zhu Xuan frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the way Yang Tafeng answered the question, so he shouted lightly: "I don't want to know this, it doesn't matter to us whether Wohua Mountain is right or not, I want to know how you should deal with the invading army of Wohua Mountain?"

Yang Ta Feng said: "Let me ask you first, do you know why I let you form an alliance with Daming Cave and Wohua Mountain?"

Zhu Yu said: "Naturally, it is to expel Pang Lu, but Wohua Mountain took the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest, and even occupied the authority of you, the lord of Jiaozhi City, they have already been out of our control, if they wait for the opportunity to attack the people of Jiaozhi City in the future, I see how you should deal with it!"

Yang Tafeng said: "We are indeed trying to expel Pang Lu, because Pang Lu's army has been stationed in Jiaozhi City, which is not conducive to my implementation of the new policy, which is the most direct reason, but it is not the only reason. You must know that I asked you to accept the invitation of Mu Ya, the staff officer of Wohua Mountain, to join the alliance, but I didn't let you make your relationship with me clear, and in that agreement, there was no stipulation on what you had to do, it was my plan to kill the Qin soldiers who went to Sihai City, so do you know that let the barbarians go north to defeat the Qin soldiers and occupy Sihai City, let the Daming Caves wait for the opportunity to encircle Pang Lu, and let Wohua Mountain give up the weight and attack Jiaozhi lightly, whose means are these schemes?"

Zhu Wu was a little worried, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Could it be that Mu Ya?"

Yang Tafeng looked at him and said, "Except for him, no one can do this." ”

Zhu Yu said: "I heard that Mu Ya is only in his twenties, this kind of scheme is terrifying, let him settle in Jiaozhi City, aren't you worried?"

Yang Ta Feng said: "He guessed my mind from the beginning, he knew that you have a connection with me, so he dared to adopt this kind of policy to attack Jiaozhi City, if he can't be sure whether I will make a move, then the remnants of Wohua Mountain will not be able to occupy Jiaozhi City at all." When outsiders see the current situation, as long as they have a little bit of the city, they can guess that it was me who had an affair with Wohua Mountain, and Li Yingwai conspired with Pang Lu to stay in Jiaozhi City, but you understand that I didn't want the mountain bandits from Wohua Mountain to enter Jiaozhi City at all. ”

Zhu Wo said ruthlessly: "If such rumors are allowed to spread among the people, within half a month, the people of Jiaozhi City will be in chaos." Na Muya knew that we could not plead, and that our unwarranted handle was in their hands. After entering Jiaozhi City, he had no fear, what a good strategy!"

Yang Tafeng said: "This Mu Ya does have the ability, the situation in Jiaozhi City has been caused to be like this, and let me be hindered everywhere, and I have to cover it up for him, so that I will not be able to continue to use troops against Wohua Mountain in the future, although the necessary confrontation appearance still has to be made, but in the future, in this Jiaozhi City, I am afraid it will become the armor of Wohua Mountain." ”

Zhu Xuan shouted angrily: "I can't see clearly, now speaking, I have a kind of idea of wanting to kill those outsiders, this Jiaozhi City is your Jiaozhi City, can you tolerate the invasion of others? Give me a stick of incense time, I will definitely be able to kill those lords of Huashan Mountain, even if it is that Mu Ya, I will finish it with a sword." ”

"Alas~" Yang Tafeng sighed, looked out the window, and said: "It's too late now, since Wohua Mountain led the troops to expel Pang Lu's people, we have lost the opportunity." According to my imagination, Pang Lu's army left in the city must have the ghosts of Wohua Mountain, otherwise it would not be possible for Wohua Mountain to take advantage of the loophole. The ability of those commanders in Wohua Mountain is not shallow, Liang Jin, the commander of the heavy cavalry of the Wohua Mountain barrier, is said to be the strongest person among several people, and he may be about to reach the level of half a step and nine stages, Meng Lang, who is sick but not dead, and Chu Hong, who has the terrifying killing weapon Seven Empty Arrows, may not be shallower than Kou Xiuyong's ability. Now that they are doing their duty, and they have not intruded into the lives of the people, we cannot be guilty of making them face to face, we only need to make the superficial opposition to outsiders, and our top priority is still that matter. If they have other ideas in the future, then you have to do it. ”

Zhu Wu nodded, his expression suddenly froze a little, and said, "That matter, do you have eyebrows?"

Yang Tafeng stood up and said indifferently: "It's clear, it's the plan of the four princes." ”

Zhu Wu also stood up and said coldly: "Then it's time for me to act, I want to control my own destiny, the kind of person who is treated as a pawn, I don't want to do it a second time." ”

Yang Tafeng didn't stop it, just sighed lightly, and said: "Back then, the prince's snake mystery case set off a storm in the court, and the fourth prince, who was only nine years old, was able to use means to make a group of eunuch servants identify the second prince as a snake demon, and then used some kind of magic to confuse the eyes of the courtiers, and even attracted the power of many rivers and lakes sects, and only a few months to pull up all the root forces of the two princes. If the second prince is still there, the position of the prince must be his, but now, how many people can remember the second prince?"

Zhu Xiang seemed to be unwilling, and said: "Qiu Jue has had evil plans since he was a child, no one can see his face clearly, the second prince is a martial artist, but unfortunately his poisonous plan is bad, and it has been fifteen years since he died." I didn't think about avenging the second prince, even though I used to be a supporter of the second prince, but I know very well what it means for the prince to seize the throne, even Emperor Qin should turn a blind eye to these things. However, I can't let go of my own hatred, every night for the past fifteen years, as long as I close my eyes, I can see my implicated clansmen lying in a pool of blood one by one, I can hear the wails of my men who saddled the Qin Dynasty as traitors, I almost died at the hands of those people, if you hadn't saved me, how could I have a chance to take revenge? I can't help it now, I can't wait to cut the culprit with a thousand knives. ”

Yang Tafeng heard the declaration of Zhu Wu's teeth, his face was still blank, he was silent for a long time, slowly turned around, faced Zhu Wu's angry face, couldn't help but sink his eyebrows, and said, "Do you know that this news was told to me by the fourth prince." ”

"What? He told you that he was the culprit of the prince's snake mystery back then?" Zhu Wu stared at Yang Tafeng in disbelief, and there were more helpless things in that seriousness, and he knew that he might have overestimated his ability.

Yang Tafeng said: "You can't kill the four princes, by his side, I found the traces of Meng Jianyan, the generalissimo of the eastern soldiers and horses, and Deng Xing, the generalissimo of the southern soldiers, although I can't be sure that these two people have been submissive to Qiu Jue, but I have reason to suspect that Qiu Jue can recruit the two." Meng Zhenyan and Deng Xing are both long-established Ninth Rank Grandmasters, and there is no way you can take revenge under their hands. ”

After listening to Yang Tafeng's words, he sat down in discouragement, as if these words had great power and shattered the last meaning of his life.

"I can bear my hatred, but my people are innocent, and they should not bear the reputation of traitors, and in these fifteen years, they have not even had a tombstone, and I cannot swallow this hatred. My more than 100 subordinates, they can die on the battlefield, they can shed their blood for the national war, but they can't bear such an unjust crime, if the grievances of their death can't be washed away, how can I see them under Jiuquan?"

Yang Tafeng did not say a word of condolences, at this time, there is no way out, only if he sees it clearly, others have the opportunity to help him.

After a long time, Zhu Wu whispered: "Do you have a way, tell me." ”

Yang Tafeng stepped forward and sat down, his face was unbearable, but after only a moment of hesitation, he said: "Qiu Jue must have guessed your identity by telling us about this matter, but he didn't want to kill them all, which shows that we are still useful to him." Qiu is by no means like Mu Ya, Mu Ya I can still see clearly, but Qiu Jue is this person, I don't dare to peep. If you want to use tactics and force, you can't use it, since Qiu Jue has given us a chance, then we can't let it go. ”

Zhu Yao's expression was slightly moved, and he said, "What does Qiu Jue want us to do?"

Yang Tafeng said: "I have observed the tactics of the four princes, and wherever he participates in the battlefield, everything has become extremely chaotic, so I have a bold guess that he wants to make the Qin Dynasty completely chaotic, and only in this way can it be in line with his situation." ”

"The fourth prince was implicated in the case of Luan Lai a year ago, and now he can be regarded as being degraded, he has extensively requisitioned talents, and now he has almost included the two generalissimos under his command, it is obvious that he is accumulating power for himself. ”

"In that case, telling us the truth about the Prince's snake mystery case means that he wants to make the situation even more chaotic. If we help us to solve the mystery with some possibility, then our goal will be achieved, and you can truly walk into the light. ”

Wishing for trouble in his ears, although Yang Tafeng did not explain the detailed plan, it had already made him extremely excited, and it was better than hopeless.

After fifteen years of no strategy, devoting himself to martial arts is ultimately useless.
