The battle situation in Yangzhou is still continuing, and Shengzhou, south of the river, has once again ushered in Yang Xun's troops.

Like the last time, Yang Xun crossed the river again and was still not intercepted by the Shengzhou naval army. The other party was deliberately releasing the water, and this time He Yun had no doubts in his heart, especially after seeing Xu Chen's white sailboat that day and recognizing the strength of the other party's sailors.

He Yun didn't understand why the general of the unified army in Shengzhou had such an arrangement, and he didn't understand why when the army was approaching the city, the main general of Shengzhou City would set up a table on the mountain outside the city to invite Yang Xun to talk, and his young master Yang Xun really agreed.

On a hill in the north of Shengzhou City, Xu Chen sat under a tree, and a set of exquisite tea sets was placed on a quaint desk. In the small red clay stove, the fine bamboo charcoal is burning gently, and in the delicate teapot, the mountain spring water taken nearby is "whirring" and steaming.

The dark green tea leaves that are stretched out float up and down in the Buddha water, the tea soup is gradually dyed green, and the faint tea fragrance floats out with the mountain breeze.

A beautiful tea cup was handed to Yang Xun, who stared at Xu Chen for a long time before taking it with a smile.

After drinking it all, Yang Xun smiled heartily: "Good tea!"

Xu Chen frowned slightly and laughed: "This tea is not drunk like this. ”

As he spoke, he slowly picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, held it in his mouth and savored it, and swallowed it for a long time.

Yang Xun showed a strange look on his face, and said with a smile: "You don't look like a beggar anymore!"

Xu Chenwan said with a smile: "It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, it is a little forgetful. ”

"Forget your roots?" Yang Xun shook his head slightly, and said, "Not necessarily, right?"

Xu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.

Yang Xun didn't bother to delve into it, but asked loudly: "This tea has also been drunk, and the old one has been recounted, so it's time to talk about business, right?"

"Reminiscence?" Xu Chen's eyes revealed doubts and inquiries.

Yang Xun was stunned, turned to smile, and didn't say anything.

Xu Chen glanced at him with a little meaning, it is said that people are the easiest to reveal their true thoughts in subconscious words, and Yang Xun's mistake in words must reveal a secret, a secret that Xu Chen does not know, but Xu Chen thought for a moment and found nothing, so he had to bury it deep in his heart.

"Is Yang Ziyun your sister?" asked Xu Chen.

"That's right!" Yang Xun nodded, then stared at Xu Chen, and asked in a ghostly manner: "What's the matter?"

Xu Chen was stunned, and Yang Xun was also stunned!

In the depths of Yang Xun's dark eyes, a trace of panic flashed, and there was a trace of ...... Expect!

As for the black-faced young man Xiao Si beside Yang Xun, he could only sigh secretly at this moment......

After Xu Chenleng passed, a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment appeared on his face, and such an expression appeared on the face of the eldest brother, which made the teenagers in the same company a little strange.

"Ahem" Xu Chen pretended to cough a few times, picked up the teacup and took another sip, and only after his expression was normal did he look at Yang Xun's playful smile, his eyes a little dodgy.

"Is she okay?" asked Xu Chen speechlessly.

"Very good!" the smile in Yang Xun's eyes was even brighter.

"Oh......" Xu Chen nodded, and then ...... And then there is no more!

"What do you mean!" This was Yang Xun's thought at the moment, but he didn't dare to say it anymore.

"Uh...... Are you here to take Shengzhou this time?" Xu Chen hurriedly turned back to the topic.

"Not bad!" Yang Xun nodded, and said proudly: "If you know each other, you can quickly dedicate Shengzhou, and then if you are willing to stay, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life, if you want to leave, even if you take your people away, I will never entangle!

The proud Yang Xun raised his head, his nostrils pointed towards this Xu Chen, and asked domineeringly.

"Rich and rich in life?" Xu Chen laughed, looked at Yang Xun, and said with a smile: "Do you know how much money I scratched last time?"

This can't be mentioned, as soon as this is mentioned, Yang Xun will be angry!

I think that at the beginning, when Xu Chen used the auction to get the first start-up capital, Yang Xun noticed Xu Chen's group of teenagers. At that time, Xu Chen's strength was still very weak, and Yang Xun had hidden Yuzhang for many years, and he had a deep foundation, so it didn't take much effort to find out a series of Xu Chen's actions.

It's just that Xu Chen's entire plan is fundamentally cross-era! Even if a series of scattered layouts in advance were checked by Yang Xun, they could be put together, and Yang Xun still couldn't understand what Xu Chen was going to do. Not only him, but Kong Ke, the so-called resourceful military advisor, also didn't understand Xu Chen's actions.

Although they couldn't understand Xu Chen's purpose, from Xu Chen's previous behavior, they still accurately believed that what Xu Chen was doing must be a business that could make a lot of money! And Yang Xun and the others, what they lacked most at that time was money! But these rootless and bottomless "beggars" were able to defeat their proud sailors in a dignified manner, and since they could not solve it by force, Yang Xun and the others had to wait patiently.

After the matter of the city was revealed to the world, and Yangzhou was used as a pilot, Yang Xun understood a little, and when he was about to go to Yangzhou, he came to Yang Tinghe's order, asking him to return to the main altar as soon as possible. Yang Xun had no choice but to give up the idea of going to Yangzhou.

It was only when he came out of the altar and learned of the events that had taken place in various parts of the south in such a short period of time that he suddenly became enlightened! When he learned a little about the money involved in the sale of land, he was left with only deep remorse in his heart, which then turned into a strong anger!

He didn't know who this anger was directed at, but every time someone mentioned it, he was furious!

"How much?" Yang Xun asked through gritted teeth.

Xu Chen didn't understand why Yang Xun had such a reaction, and he didn't know what kind of considerations he had, maybe he and the village were carrying chickens and ducks with red paper pasted on them, and two strings of big money around their necks, running to the door of the eldest girl's house, smirking at the girl's parents, in short, Xu Chen said an almost accurate number: "There are almost twenty years of taxes in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hiss......" Yang Xun breathed in one breath, as if this was the only way to suppress his tumbling heart at the moment.

"My! my! would have been...... It's all mine!" Yang Xun muttered while bowing his head in pain.

"Huh?" Xu Chen looked at Yang Xun and said with some embarrassment: "It's not that fast......"

Yang Xun, who was in an agitated mood, didn't understand the deep meaning of Xu Chen's words, and only cared about constantly inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, and exhaling again......

"Say, what the hell are you asking me to do?" Yang Xun stared at Xu Chen viciously, gritted his teeth and asked.

Xu Chen cleaned up his feelings, got serious, and said: "Li Yi asked you to come to Shengzhou just to weaken the power in your hands by my hand, and the so-called leaving one more way out is just a pretext!"

Yang Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "You know a lot of things!"

Xu Chen smiled and was silent.

"Since I have received the military order, I naturally want to give people an explanation!" Yang Xun's explanation was not only for Li Yi, but also for everyone in the sect.

"I know!" Xu Chen nodded, and then said: "But your people would never have thought that you and I would talk about it here, and naturally they didn't expect that I would deliberately arrange a perfect retreat for you!"

"What do you mean?" asked Young.

"It's very simple, since Li Yi is under the banner of wanting you to leave a back road for the army, then I will give you a back road! Gaochun in the southeast, the people in the city have all been transferred to Shengzhou by me in the name of avoiding the war, and now it is an empty city, you only need to send troops to station!"

"Gaochun is still some distance from Shengzhou, I don't have cavalry here, it will take at least half a day to get there at the speed of infantry, this place is enough for you to give Li Yi an explanation!"

"It's so close, Li Yi won't be satisfied!" Yang Xun thought for a moment, looked at Xu Chen and said.

"The defenders of Shengzhou are only a few thousand, and they are even weaker after being dispersed to the four gates, it is rare to be able to hold Shengzhou without losing, how dare you go out of the city to break the enemy?" Xu Chen replied. Then he looked at Yang Xun and said with a mysterious smile: "What's more, Li Yi has a sailor in his hands, after the first battle in Yangzhou, there are no more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the sailor in Li Yi's hand is enough to carry 20,000 horses and horses, east into the sea, south to Fujian and Guangzhou." ”

"Can you keep Li Yi's sailor alive?" Yang Xun asked again.

"I can guarantee that the sailors of Shengzhou will definitely not be able to catch up with Li Yi's sailors on the Yangtze River!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

Yang Xun was silent for a long time before he asked curiously: "Why? Why do you want to do this? Isn't it difficult for you to not want to mix in the Tang Dynasty?"

Xu Chen shook his head slightly, and chuckled: "The weakness of the southern army is well known, especially Shengzhou! I can hold Shengzhou with more than half of the government army less than other counties, it is already rare, if the princes of the court still want to trouble me, hehe, I am not muddy! As for the sailors, the army can't defeat the rebels, and the navy division is a thing that is even more unimportant, but the rebels can't be defeated, that's not a normal thing!"

"It's normal!" Yang Xun, who knew the powerful power of the sailor in Xu Chen's hands, couldn't help but sneer. Looking at the fake and annoying smile on Xu Chen's face, Yang Xun couldn't help but scold: "You are becoming more and more like those big officials!"

Xu Chen smiled and didn't speak.

"Okay! You don't have to sacrifice your brother's life to achieve your goal, naturally it's better! As long as you can guarantee that Li Yi and the others will go east into the sea, I will settle in Gaochun and no longer attack Shengzhou!" Yang Xun thought about it, and finally agreed to Xu Chen's suggestion.

After the two discussed, Yang Xun said goodbye and left.

In place, Xu Chen stood quietly.

Lu Hao stepped forward and asked, "What is the eldest brother thinking?"

Xu Chen sighed slightly: "Time! War is actually the best time to accumulate strength, this war is not big enough, we still need more time to ......"

Lu Hao's heart was heavy, but after seeing the powerful power of the cultivator and seeing his former brother die in front of him. For those strange beings in the world, the sadness in my heart gradually faded......

On the way down the mountain, Yang Xun muttered in a low voice: "It's so dangerous!

When the black-faced young man on the side heard this, he also complained in a low voice: "Young master, will that kid call you 'eldest brother' in the future?" or ......" Before he finished speaking, Yang Xun glared at him viciously, and Xiao Si had no choice but to say loudly: "'Eldest brother'!"

"Hmph!" Yang Xun snorted coldly, turned his head, but thought in his heart: "It turns out that this stinky boy is so rich! Damn! Originally, all this money should be mine!"

"Huh...... Oh no! This money will be ...... later. How could it not be mine?"

After Yang Xun figured it out, his heart blossomed, and his steps down the mountain became lighter, and he no longer had the calmness of the past......
