The night discussion in the hall had dispersed, and Kong Ke and Yang Xun walked on the way back: "Young master......"

"Let's talk about it later!" Yang Xun stopped him.

The two got out of Li Yi's mansion and walked on the deserted street, followed by the black-faced boy Xiaosi and several other entourages.

"Say it!" Yang Xun said.

"They're already blatant!" Kong Ke was a little anxious, and even more angry.

"Now, Yang Tinghe has given them hope, and those who used to waver are now quiet......" Yang Xun's expression was solemn, and the indifference in the hall was gone.

"That'...... Should we do something?" asked Kong Ke.

Yang Xun shook his head a little weakly: "What to do? What can we do now? Our group of people have been waiting for hundreds of years, and the south has never been as dangerous as it is now." With such a good opportunity, I can't ruin our hundred-year-old plan because of my own selfish desires. Even if we wanted to, those old guys wouldn't be able to follow me......"

"Alas......" Kong Ke sighed deeply, then smiled, and said: "If you want to say that there will be this situation in the south, we have entrusted Xu Chen's young man's blessing." ”

The relationship between Xu Chen and Kong Ke is quite deep, whether it is the grand auction in Qiushui Pavilion or the water battle on the Yangtze River, with Kong Ke's skills, it is very simple to find out the traces of Xu Chen's gang of teenagers in Yuzhang City.

Hearing this name, Yang Xun had a faint smile on his heavy face, and there was a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.

"This young man doesn't know where he came from, but his methods are really clever! Back then, we dispatched hundreds of men to rob a team of officers and soldiers who were transporting silver, and in the end most of them were killed and wounded, and only then did we grab 100,000 taels of silver! But what about the people? I didn't see him do anything, and after a turf turmoil, I was afraid that the money we robbed was more than 1,000 times ours!"

"Alas!

Kong Ke glanced at Yang Xun and said with emotion.

"Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, it's a very simple truth!" Yang Xun said with a smile.

Yang Xun smiled, Kong Ke didn't say anything more about Xu Chen, the reason why he mentioned this young man was because he knew that doing so would make his young master feel better, but he was a little indescribable about the joy that the young master had for this reason...... Or is it just worrying, the worry of someone who has come by......

"Young master, after I leave, you will have to take these people!" At the night discussion this evening, Li Yi suddenly made a mistake and coerced everyone to transfer Kong Keshengsheng away from Yang Xun. To be Li Yi's assistant? Yes, I'm afraid that in the future, I can only be an assistant who is sent to and fro!

Yang Xun's father was the leader of the previous generation, but he died suddenly ten years ago, and there are different opinions in the sect about the cause of his death, and even whether he died is an unsolved mystery.

But in any case, Yang Xun's father left. The church cannot be left without a master for a day, and Yang Tinghe, who is the second person in the sect, was elected as the leader of the sect soon after.

is a very common and old-fashioned play, Yang Tinghe is the most suspicious of Yang Xun's father's disappearance, but there are many people who have said it privately over the years, but no one can come up with conclusive evidence.

Over the years, Yang Tinghe and Yang Xun have fought openly and secretly, and they don't know how many, relying on the resources left by their father, Yang Xun has barely supported it. But today, Yang Tinghe has found a bright path for all of them, a way to realize their dreams.

Prestige is unrivaled for a while!

Therefore, there will be people in the hall tonight who will unite to attack Yang Xun together, so those uncles who stood on Yang Xun's side in the past will be silent, so even if he knows that it is a pit, Yang Xun can only jump in with his eyes closed......

The road of rebellion has never been a smooth road, and there is no room for half-heartedness. This is Li Yi's message to everyone in the hall tonight!

With the prestige of being unparalleled for a while, and through Li Yi's mouth, Yang Tinghe wanted to completely disintegrate the possibility of Yang Xun's resistance!

He saw it very clearly, and Li Yi naturally knew it even better! Kong Ke was the most important person beside Yang Xun! Even more important than Yang Xun himself!

Therefore, they took advantage of righteousness to transfer Kong Ke away, and Yang Xun, who left Kong Ke, could only be reduced to thugs who charged for them in their eyes.

And just like Yang Xun himself said, in the face of this qiē, he has no way! Rebelling against the Li family and taking back their Yang family's country is the first righteousness today. And this hope was brought by Yang Tinghe, and the unruly people in the hall could only be controlled by Yang Tinghe.

Kong Ke could also understand this qiē, so he didn't say anything more, but just advised: "He Yun is watching from the water division's side, it's not a big problem, as for the army...... We don't have many people on our hands, and even if Yang Tinghe will transfer some after the war, it is estimated that they will be old, weak, sick and disabled, and they will not be useful. Leading these old brothers, the young master should have no problem......"

"Okay, I'm not a child again, and besides, you don't never go back, the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can say what will happen in the future......" Yang Xun scolded with a smile.

Kong Ke also smiled.

The next day, that is, the day after the night meeting, in the early morning, many teams quietly appeared in the deserted Yangzhou City, these teams were very messy, wearing everything, except for the right sleeve was tied with a red cloth belt.

These teams walked through the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, making hurried footsteps, as if to wake up the sleeping city, but apparently in vain.

Today's Yangzhou, like the people in it, is angry but powerless......

There were no pedestrians running around the streets, and even the officers and soldiers who used to patrol in the past only curled up in the corners of the yamen, unwilling to take another step, their expressions numb, their movements stiff, as if they were dead, and it was only those eyes that occasionally turned to show their attributes as living people.

Because to move, it takes strength, and they don't have the strength now......

As long as you enter the yamen in the morning and evening to sign in, you can receive that insignificant bag of moldy old rice every day, maintaining this seemingly inhuman life.

They don't know how long they will have to endure this seemingly inhuman life, and they long to forget the coming of their Savior, no matter where he came from.

Heaven may have heard the cry in their hearts, and a group of people dressed in holy white clothes and wrapped in bright red cloth ribbons appeared so suddenly!

"Military Division, all departments have arrived at the designated position!" a person ran over and reported to Li Yi on horseback.

Li Yi nodded: "Send a signal!"

"Yes!" the man departed.

It wasn't long before the numb officers and soldiers in the corner raised their heads with difficulty, for a red cloud suddenly lit up in the sky, which could be spread far away in the early morning mist, and then from other parts of the city.

This group of officials and trappers who were almost numb to their minds also realized that something was wrong at this moment, but their weak bodies made them have no time to react, and the "saviors" came to rescue them with swords in their hands.

"Don't move!" The holy robe hides a really cold soul: "If you don't want to die, just be honest with me!"

When the sword was placed on their necks, the numb eyes began to show some surprise and fear.

But their bodies did not tremble, because trembling is also an action that requires strength......

"Haha! Military advisor, I didn't expect Yangzhou Taishou Yamen to be taken down so easily!" Last night, the man who answered the call first, and whose arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs, was standing in front of the door of Yangzhou Taishou Yamen at this moment, and the plaque under his feet was knocked down by a hammer just now, and half of the beams collapsed.

"Yangzhou is already in turmoil, the city's defense has long been empty, these days people in and out of Yangzhou are almost not checked, we come in batches, and it is a sudden attack, there is not much problem in taking Yangzhou City. ”

"Then, as long as the city is firmly defended, the 10,000 government soldiers outside the city are short of food, and it is almost impossible to break through the city defenses.

For the next plan, Li Yi has already thought about it.

"Haha! The military advisor will definitely let me lead the army, damn it, after so many years, I can finally let out my evil anger!" the strong man opened his throat and laughed.

"Military Division!" another person came to report to Li Yi.

"How is it?, have you found Tong Yu?" asked Li Yi.

The man nodded and replied, "In the backyard!"

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Li Yi didn't say this to the messenger, but to the few people behind him, and Kong Ke was among them!

The few people who followed Li Yi closely were the strategist group formed by Li Yi, who was directly responsible for Yang Tinghe and gave him advice.

A few people didn't walk a few steps before they came to the backyard of the Yangzhou Taishou Mansion.

Pushing open the bedroom door, a strong sour smell hit my face.

Li Yi covered his nose in disgust: "Go! Drag Tong Yu out!"

So a few soldiers in white ran in, and after a "ping-pong" sound, the two successfully dragged Tong Yu out of the garbage in the house.

Tong Yu at this moment, how can he still have half the majesty of the head of the southeast!

I don't know how long I wore an official robe, and there were dark black stains everywhere, emitting a foul smell.

A soldier used a scabbard to remove the messy hair on Tong Yu's face that had not been washed for a few days, revealing a slightly puffy face.

Li Yi lowered his head, took a closer look, and then nodded and said, "It's indeed Tong Yu!"

"Wine ...... Wine ......" was tossed like this, and the confused Tong Yu gradually became a little sober, and when he woke up, he squeaked and whined.

Li Yi frowned, Tong Yu in this state could not fulfill his expectations. So he waved his hand and said to the soldier beside him, "Find a few basins of cold water!"

A soldier walked away, and it didn't take long for the soldier to bring two buckets of cold water and pour it directly on Tong Yu.

The cold water woke up the confused Tong Yu, and in the violent cough, Tong Yu opened his blurry eyes and looked at the stranger who appeared in front of him: "You guys...... Who are you?"

Li Yi came over, faced Tong Yu with a face, and said, "Tong Taishou, you shouldn't have seen me, but you must have heard of me." My name is Li Yi!"

"Li Yi ?......" Tong Yu at this moment, his consciousness was still blurred, and his short-circuited brain made him forget about the soldiers beside him who were holding swords and full of malice, and even more forgot to think about why such a group of people appeared in the yamen, but he just followed Li Yi's introduction and began to look for this person in his mind.

"Oh, I remember!You're the salt merchant!" After a moment, Tong Yu suddenly said.

Li Yi smiled and said, "It's rare to keep a good memory!"

In fact, Tong Yu's memory is not necessarily very good, let alone in this situation, but this Li Yi is too famous in the southeast realm!

This person does not belong to a family, because he has never heard of a family surnamed Li who can have as much wealth as him; nor does he belong to maritime merchants, he is not directly involved in maritime trade, but he has close trade contacts with almost all maritime merchants; he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, Li Yi does not know martial arts, no matter which family of the grandmaster can not find any traces of martial arts on his body, but he has a purely composed of foundation building masters, under such a guard, even the grandmaster master has the possibility of falling.

Li Yi is a businessman! This is the most accurate definition of Li Yi that anyone can find.

This businessman does any business and dares to do it!

Official salt, he can sell it, and he dares to sell private salt. Iron, whether it's ore freshly dug out of the soil, or weapons and armor that have already been forged, he can get it. Not to mention the daily household groceries!

In short, in the eyes of the family, he is very mysterious, and in the eyes of merchants, he can do anything!

Such a person, if Tong Yu, who has been a Taishou in Yangzhou for so many years, has never heard of it, then it is a real corpse vegetarian meal!

"You ......" Tong Yu's consciousness gradually cleared up, he looked left and right, and his voice immediately raised a lot: "Who are you? How did you get in? What about the officers and soldiers? What do you want to do?......

Li Yi frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Taishou, you ask so many questions at once, which one should I answer?"

"You ...... What do you want to do?" After the initial anger, Tong Yu realized something, and immediately began to fear.

Li Yi smiled: "It seems that Lord Taishou has already guessed! Yes, we have taken Yangzhou, hmm...... It can be regarded as a capture, although it didn't take much effort. ”

"You ...... Who the hell are you?" Tong Yu's voice became more and more trembling.

"Who I am, I've already said. As for who we are...... Let's be honest with you, our sect leader is Yang Tinghe, maybe you haven't heard of him, it's not that he is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Shizu Ming. ”

As if to make Tong Yu react faster, Li Yi continued: "Emperor Shizu Ming's surname is Yang, and his name is wide. ”

Tong Yu's body trembled even more, and when he heard the name of an emperor who was obviously not the emperor of this dynasty, his heart trembled, but now it was just shaking even more.

"You...... You...... You guys...... This is in ......" Tong Yu was intermittent, squeaky and whining, and he didn't say a word clearly at the end.

"Yes, yes! We ...... We...... We are ......" Li Yi looked at Tong Yu with a smile, with a look of encouragement in his eyes like a parent looking at a toddler.

It's a pity that in the end, Tong Yu still disappointed Li Yi: "Alas, is it so difficult to say those two words?"

"We're rebelling!"

Li Yi continued with a natural expression: "In your eyes, we are rebelling, but in my opinion, we are just taking back what belongs to us!"

"You ...... What do you want to do with me?" Although the time was not long, it was enough for Tong Yu to react.

"Tsk, it is said that there is a great terror between life and death, but I didn't expect Lord Taishou, who was still a puddle of mud, to recover a little bit of his former demeanor so quickly!" Li Yi looked at Tong Yu with a smile.

Although Tong Yu was nervous and frightened, he also tried his best to raise his head and look at Li Yi, just like Li Yi said, there was a great terror between life and death, which made him have to cheer up. thought that when he was going to die, he could get drunk and dream of death, but when death came knocking on the door, he couldn't be indifferent and unmoved.

"What do you want?" Tong Yu tried to make his voice appear calmer.

Li Yi smiled: "Spare your life, naturally I want you!

"You want me to rebel?" Tong Yu's voice raised an octave again.

"Do you have a choice?" Li Yi smiled, and the personal soldier behind him pulled out the steel knife on his waist in time.

The bright sword light made Tong Yu, who still wanted to use his scream to reduce his inner fear, swallow the scream back.

Looking at Tong Yu's undulating chest, Li Yi continued: "I know your situation very well, in the battle a few months ago, you took refuge in the seven sects and five surnames, but they were defeated, Cui Jianyu was driven back to Boling's hometown, you, the dog of the seven sects and five surnames, have long been abandoned by them! And the original Yangzhou wealthy family was played by you again, and you still want them to save you, naturally impossible!"

"Now, you're fine, that's because someone in Chang'an wants you to live, a Taishou, in the eyes of big people, although it is nothing, but in the eyes of ignorant people, it is undoubtedly a good thing to vent people's anger. ”

"What I said, you must have expected it before, right?" Looking at the silent Tong Yu, Li Yi continued: "You were originally a dead man, rather than being beaten to the dust by the Li family's court and being a criminal who has been stinking for thousands of years, it is better to follow us, if we succeed, then we will be the hero of the founding of the country, and the marquis will worship the prime minister and grace for a hundred years, even if you unfortunately fail, your end will not be worse." What do you say?"

"Okay, don't say much, go down and think about it yourself!" Li Yi called a few people and took Tong Yu down when he said this.

"Strategist, why do you spend so much effort on such a wasted man?

"You know that it is easy to fight and kill, but it is difficult to rule the world! Among our group of people, there are many people who can fight, and there are also those who can pay attention, but there is no one who can govern the locality. ”

"Don't look at me, although I can do it with some time, I don't have this time, and we don't have this time! Besides, the territory that will be laid down in the future will be larger, and it is also the right thing to accept the surrender. ”

Li Yi's words were said to everyone around him, including generals and strategists.

"Report!" a herald came galloping in.

"Qiyu Military Division, all parts of Yangzhou City have been taken by us!"

"Really, great!" The people beside Li Yi were all excited when they heard the news.

"But ......," the herald hesitated.

"Say!" Li Yi knew that things would not be so simple, so he never showed joy on his face.

Under Li Yi's fierce eyes, the herald had no choice but to continue: "There are still two places in the city that have not been captured......

"Where?" Li Yi asked again.

"One is the Qian family's compound in the southeast of the city, and the other is the courtyard of the Zhenhai Gang to the north of the government...... the herald continued.
