Ye Qingxuan's action this time was to deal with the "martial minister" Zheng Zhantang, where did he dare to use the power of the three divisions of the imperial court, it was not good that there were Zheng Zhantang's eyes and ears everywhere, in order to keep it secret, Ye Qingxuan directly used his own relationship, secretly contacted the "Dragon King" Yu Pohai, and took a boat all the way, from Dongxian Lake along the river waterway to Nankang Mansion on the shore of Longhu Lake.

It's not too far from Changlong Mansion, where Zheng Zhantang is stationed. From here, you can take a dry road, and even at the speed of an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, you can reach it in three days.

Zheng Zhantang was originally responsible for facing the military of Motianling, but because there was no progress in the past two years, the emperor Taiming who rushed to seize military power, and in one fell swoop expelled the invading forces of Motianling from Yangzhou and returned to Lingnan.

It can be said that the imperial court is very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhantang's performance in the past two years, and there is also the "Prince of Filial Piety" Huangfu Jingming, who is responsible for the direction of Taipingzhai in Jizhong.

Without exception, these two people are all officials vigorously promoted by Fengyi Pavilion, and now within the imperial court, including the vast majority of the officials of the six ministries, even the civil and military sides, are inextricably linked to Fengyi Pavilion.

Ye Qingxuan said: "In addition to the few things I just said, what else is there going on in Yangzhou?"

Zhang Shaojie replied respectfully: "After the thirteen princes seized power, the Yangzhou rivers and lakes that were pacified are now divided equally by the thirteen princes and Zheng Xiangye, the thirteen princes are stationed in Yongzhou City, mainly responsible for the guards of the frontier, and Zheng Xiangye sits in Changlong Mansion to clear the wandering and stubborn, mainly to deal with those martial arts sects that have been verified to have taken refuge in Motianling. We, the Longjiang Society, cooperated with the Euphorbia Gate and Zheng Xiangye's actions and dealt a severe blow to the villains who took refuge in Motianling. 'Burning Whale Island', 'Pai Gang', 'Salt Gang', 'Shuanglimen', 'Wuxia Faction', 'Yushui Gang', 'Iron Bear Hall', 'Xunjiang Society', 'Xingwu Sect', etc., none of these large and small gangs that have taken refuge in Motianling can escape.

Because the gang leader Shi Tianbao was eliminated by Ye Shaoxia, the dragons were leaderless. Therefore, it was exterminated by my Longjiang Society as soon as possible. The original sphere of influence has also become our bag...... Because of this. Yu Da Longtou still remembered that you are old from time to time, and when he ordered the little ones to cooperate with you, he didn't forget to let the little ones thank you to a few masters. The big dragon head said, see you in the future, there will definitely be a generous gift for all the young heroes......"

Ye Qingxuan smiled and said, "The big dragon head is too polite, I just did something within my bounds, please ask Brother Zhang to tell the big dragon head on my behalf." At this time, I can get the care of the big dragon head, and the Ye brothers are already very grateful, and there is no need to worry about the small things in the past, if it wasn't for the big dragon head who spoke up righteously, my brothers and I would have been assassinated and killed by these people. ”

Ye Qingxuan was talking about the incident when he was raided by the masters of the Sky Ridge on the ship before going to the Martial Arts Holy Land, if it wasn't for the appearance of Yu Pohai in a hundred miles, even if Jiang Feiran came at that time, they would not be able to stop them from intercepting and killing his group.

The crowd chatted a few more words. Zhang Shaojie knew that these characters must have important tasks, so he took the opportunity to retire. And he will command his men not to come near this hut.

After checking that it was absolutely safe here, Ye Qingxuan and the others immediately began to discuss the situation.

Wan Guotai sighed and said: "Alas, I didn't expect that we had just hit the Demon Gate once, and the Demon Gate in turn made the Wulin Zhengdao suffer such a big loss. ”

Meng Yuanyun said: "But isn't it, we are at the right time, the Demon Gate is premeditated, we are led by the nose everywhere, this time we can rescue Xue Gong Wang, it is completely our luck, I really don't know how many conspiracies and tricks the Demon Gate still has to implement, think about it, I really ......have no bottom in my heart."

Ruhua snorted and shouted: "The Sprinkle family is holding back their stomachs, if it weren't for this bullshit mission, the Sprinkle family would definitely find the people of the Demon Gate, and it would be a good kill!"

Meng Yuanyun sighed coldly and said, "Come on, we don't even know where the people from the Demon Gate are, and we can kill ...... for a good meal."

"Meng Lao Liu, don't recruit me!" Ruhua was angry, and he was about to do it when he raised his arms.

Wan Guotai hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, when will you still be vindictive!"

Sanada Ryuhiko rubbed his love knife "Rachel", and said with a radiant expression: "Master Ruhua is right, and what Meng Jun said is right, it's just a matter of changing the order, as long as you find the enemy, it will be a good kill." When I was in Yingzhou, this kind of competition was restricted, and only when I tried to meet in front of the emperor every year, or when I was on a mission, could I kill people so freely...... Shenwu is a good place to practice martial arts!"

"Take killing people for fun, who are you......" Meng Yuanyun said.

Boom!

Sanada Ryuhiko struck the knife and said, "We are real samurai!"

"Admire, admire!"

Jiang Shuihan rubbed the red mole on his eyebrows and said lightly: "This time our mission is extremely important for the entire righteous path. If Zheng Zhantang is caught, he must pry his mouth open, with his status and martial arts, whether he is an insider of the Demon Gate or not, maybe he knows a lot of insiders, and opening a breakthrough from him is of great significance for us to grasp the enemy's actions. So this time, we can't afford to miss ......."

Ye Qingxuan was silent, thinking of Xu Zhengyi and Shen Jiangping, who appreciated him, and felt tormented in his heart.

Jiang Shui Han wanted to speak and stopped, seeing a sad look flashing in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, the original mention was swallowed back into his stomach.

However, his expression was seen by Ruhua on the side, and he couldn't help frowning, and said: "I said the eighth, do you have anything else to say, hurry up and pour it out, when is it, and you are still spitting?"

Jiang Shuihan smiled to himself and shook his head silently.

Ruhua was so suffocated that she scratched her heart and scratched her liver, and she was about to yell and scream, but Ye Qingxuan said coldly: "Old eight, the incident we talked about last time...... You can set it up. ”

Jiang Shuihan's eyes flashed, and the excitement was overflowing, and finally he calmed down and said solemnly: "Thank you, Seventh Brother, since that's the case, leave it to me." ”

Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Shuihan's mysterious appearance made everyone confused, and their curiosity triumphed.

Meng Yuanyun couldn't stand it at first. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Qingxuan picked up the tea bowl again. Said slowly: "Don't ask. It's not time for you to know......"

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were uncertain.

Ye Qingxuan has never hidden anything from his brother, and since he doesn't want to say it this time, it must be a far-reaching, significant, and extremely dangerous thing.

Ye Qingxuan's heart was turbulent, and his mood was difficult to calm down.

About half a month ago, Jiang Shuihan had proposed a plan to him. With the discovery of the rare martial arts of the "Bronze Dragon Tower" as a bait, the idle stragglers in the rivers and lakes were attracted to come, leading these people by the nose, disrupting the already stormy rivers and lakes, and using this force to impact the conspiracy and trickery of the Demon Gate, in short, where there is a problem, where to make trouble, so many martial arts experts who are afraid of the Demon Gate gather together, the more people are powerful. The more he will do something out of the ordinary, it is entirely possible to mess up the established plan of the Demon Gate.

The most important thing is to stir up those big factions that have evidence to prove that they have secretly taken refuge in the Demon Gate. Attract people like Xianlong Cave and the Red Jiao Gang to take action, strike at this gang that secretly surrendered to the Demon Gate, and cut off the wings of the Demon Gate, which will definitely attract the attention of the Demon Gate, as long as the Demon Gate can't bear to make a move, the righteous path masters who are waiting for the opportunity to attack together will wipe out the reinforcements of the Demon Gate forces, and force the Demon Gate to give up the conspiracy and take the initiative to fight a decisive battle.

Jiang Shuihan's plan is completely to kidnap the entire martial arts, hold the noses of fellow martial artists, and let them serve their own side.

The biggest problem facing the entire martial arts against the Demon Gate is that it is difficult to unite, and Jiang Shuihan's strategy is tantamount to uniting a group of people who are most unlikely to fight to the death with the Demon Gate, providing additional and even decisive strength for the martial arts righteous side.

You must know that in the martial arts, in addition to the famous factions, there are more individual masters who have no sect and no faction, they are like flies, where there are benefits, they will appear there, for personal interests can deal with any force, even desperately, but if you use what martial arts righteousness to gather, how far away these people are, how far to hide, Jiang Shuihan's purpose is to attract the attention of these people, hold their noses with huge benefits, and let them fight against the demon gate in the case of voluntary or forced avoidance, and their own side sits on the fisherman's profits, the strategy can be regarded as vicious, and it is extremely difficult to controlAfter all, most of the martial arts masters gathered may be some mercenary scum, and if they don't get it right, they will be burned and lose their own security.

It's just that after the incident in Hantai Temple, Ye Qingxuan found that he was still too naïve and too benevolent.

This Jianghu, no matter how unwilling you are, will eventually go into chaos, rather than being manipulated by the Demon Gate, it is better to be controlled by yourself.

"So what do we do next?" asked Wan Guotai.

Meng Yuanyun smiled and asked, "Wouldn't it be for us to directly enter the mansion and kidnap Zheng Zhantang?"

Ye Qingxuan turned around and asked with a smile, "Why not?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Yu Pohai arranged for Zhang Shaojie to escort Ye Qingxuan and others, and he had his own reasons.

Ye Qingxuan just said that he wanted to arrive at Changlong Mansion secretly, Zhang Shaojie made clever arrangements, and the next day he went to Changlong Mansion with a team of grain transportation under his command.

Zhang Shaojie has a lot of business under his hands, and there is his own grain store in this Changlong Mansion, pretending to transport grain, and it is a matter of course.

Three days later, in the early morning, the convoy arrived in Changlong Province.

Under the supervision of Jiang Shuihan, the young owner, Zhang Shaojie's men moved the grain to the prepared mule cart.

Wan Guotai and Ruhua pretended to be two bodyguards to protect the courtyard, and stood beside Jiang Shuihan with their chests folded.

Meng Yuanyun's account room explained the procedures to the local Zhang Shaojie's shop pù staff, and when they entered the store, several people changed their clothes again and walked out directly through the back door.

In Changlong Mansion, people are thriving.

But just by looking at the appearance and clothing, you will know that if you are not a business traveler, you are a martial arts character.

Yangzhou is a prosperous and prosperous place, and business travelers are Cheetto no matter when.

Although the power of Motianling has retreated to Lingnan, Yangzhou has just suffered a major war, and the imperial court and the coalition forces of Longjianghui and Euphorbia Gate are still clearing the martial arts sect that has taken refuge in Motianling.

Like most cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Changlong Province is built along waterways, and the inner and outer cities are mainly connected by rivers. The main layout is a cross-shaped through four doors. A stone-paved street. Spacious enough to accommodate eight horses at a time. The alleys lead to the main street in a grid pattern, which is in good order.

The office mansion where Zheng Zhantang is located belongs to the rich people's district, and the houses are everywhere along the way, the gatehouse grinds bricks and tiles, and the courtyard is planted with trees and flowers, and the atmosphere is peaceful, and there is no trace of war.

There are rivers interspersed in between, and the green trees on the bank are sparse. The willows blow the water, and there is another beautiful scenery.

Ye Qingxuan's brothers found a restaurant and sat down by the window, not far from the window is Zheng Zhantang's office where he works, and from the window, he can even see a little bit of the situation in the courtyard.

Meng Yuanyun had helped Huangfu Taiming deal with Motianling before, and he had stayed here for a while, so he was very familiar with the situation here, and whispered to everyone: "Zheng Zhantang has hoarded a large number of goods in Yangzhou by various means in the past two years, and has recruited martial arts experts in the name of the imperial court, so people from other places have flocked to him. I don't want to do business, or I want to join the imperial army. It shows that many people are optimistic about the combination of the prince and the military minister this time, in their eyes, this is a sign that the court is riveting its mind to use troops on a large scale, but they don't know that Zheng Zhantang has been here for more than two years, and he has not done anything big, just to collect money. If he is really involved with the Demon Gate, I am afraid that this large amount of wealth will also go into the pockets of the Demon Gate. ”

Wan Guotai looked out the window, looked at the martial arts people coming in and out of the mansion, and asked: "These people seem to be very well-behaved, Zheng Zhantang has done nothing, but he keeps recruiting so many martial arts masters, could it be to supplement the strength of the Demon Gate." ”

Jiang Shuihan smiled faintly and said, "Zheng Zhantang is not so stupid, I'm afraid it's true that he recruited people for Fengyi Pavilion." ”

Meng Yuanyun said with a smile: "Don't look at the fact that it is relatively stable here during the day, but at night, every time the characters in the rivers and lakes fight and fight viciously because of personal grievances and interests, many people are killed and injured, as long as there is no major incident, it will not cause riots, Zheng Zhantang has always adopted a laissez-faire attitude, and in fact, it is difficult to manage." Especially in places such as green houses, taverns and casinos, people who don't have a pound and a pound don't dare to have fun at night. ”

"How do we get in?" asked Sanada Tatsuhiko suddenly.

"If you want me to say, just kill it!" Ruhua said.

"How about we sneak in at night?" Meng Yuanyun said.

Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Shuihan were silent, obviously these two methods were not good methods.

Ruhua's mention yì is nonsense, before he sees the main master, he is afraid that they will be trapped to death, Meng Yuanyun's idea seems to be reliable, but it is heavily guarded here, and this opinion is not very clever for flowers.

Sanada Ryuhiko didn't seem to be speechless, and he hadn't thought about this question yet, and then frowned and asked, "Even if we catch someone, how can we leave?" After alarming Fengyi Pavilion or the Demon Gate, is there a way for us to get to Zhengzhou City alive?"

Jiang Shuihan said at this time: "Please rest assured, we have already arranged the route for retreat, and we will have our own way to leave at that time." You don't have to worry about the defenders. ”

"If only someone who is familiar with the terrain of the mansion could help us......" Meng Yuanyun sighed and said slowly.

Monk Ruhua sneered and said, "Then why don't you pray directly, it's best if someone can bring us directly to Zheng Zhantang......

Meng Yuanyun nodded and said, "It would be better if someone could take us to see Zheng Zhantang directly!"

"Damn, you're a ** Meng Lao Liu. ”

As soon as Ruhua's words fell, Ye Qingxuan, who had been staring at the door and thinking about things, suddenly brightened his eyes, laughed, patted Meng Yuanyun's shoulder and said, "Meng Lao Liu, you TMD is really a lucky star, this time your dream seems to be able to come true......"

"It's come true!?" Meng Yuanyun was a little confused, "What dream?"

Jiang Shuihan looked out the window and said with a smile: "Well, it's really come true!"

Everyone gathered at the window to look out, only to see Zheng Zhantang's mansion, a few figures came out angrily, everyone was pale and angry, but the faces of these people fell in the eyes of Ye Qingxuan and others, but they were so kind.

The three guards are the disciples of the Kunwu faction, Zheng Yunbiao, Xie Yun'an and Guo Yunfei, and one of them is the little eunuch Xiaodouzi Dou Bao, as for the first person, it is none other than the brother of several people, the thirteenth prince Huangfu Taiming.

Huangfu Taiming's expression was still gloomy, and the rest of the people were all full of anger, obviously suffering something from Zheng Zhantang.

As soon as the five of them left the palace, more than 20 masters immediately greeted them outside, handed over their horses, and prepared to leave.

Huangfu Taiming turned over and got on the horse, and was about to leave, when suddenly a yellow light flashed in front of him, and he stretched out his hand to take it, but it was a copper coin, Huangfu Taiming was taken aback, looked up, and his expression was suddenly shocked on the spot.

Because this yellow light was too fast, and everyone was on their own horses, no one noticed it for a while, except for Huangfu Taiming.

Xiaodouzi next to him rushed forward and asked, "Master, let's go......"

"Slow!" Huangfu Taiming waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Things are not in a hurry, and everyone hasn't eaten overnight......" Stretching out his hand and pointing to the restaurant in front of him, Huangfu Taiming said: "Even the brothers have been running with me overnight, anyway, come here, I'll do the east, please have a meal of water and wine!"

The guards behind him immediately applauded.

Xiaodouzi, Zheng Yunbiao and the others all looked at each other, wondering how Huangfu Taiming, who had always been strict with self-denial, could suddenly have the leisure to invite someone to dinner.

Huangfu Taiming has been in the top position for a long time, and the scholarly temperament in the past is gone, and there is an indescribable majesty and domineering all over his body. (To be continued......)
