In a relatively quiet courtyard, in a simple room in the courtyard, Tang Minjie sat on a chair and looked at the crumpled letter in his hand. The man on the other side of the table was dressed like a beggar, and he was a member of the Huaxia Army who connected with Tang Minjie after Lu Mingfang left.

The letter was written in cipher, which was relatively time-consuming to decipher, and Tang Minjie read it once, frowning slightly, and then slowly tore it off.

"Jiangnan has already started fighting, and the Golden Vulture is fighting fiercely in Yangzhou...... Now it seems that the most unexpected thing is the siege equipment he used, a group of ten hollow stone bullets, thrown on the city wall with a catapult, pressing the head of the city, and the power is not small. Jin Guo used to process stone bullets on a large scale, we thought it was used as a mine or other purposes, and we also felt that its control over delayed detonation was not enough, but we didn't expect that the problem was probably solved here, which was our negligence. ”

The person on the other side nodded: "Fortunately, it is not easy to assemble the catapult equipment, and it is only suitable for siege." ”

Tang Minjie shook his head: "If Zongbi puts this thing on the attack on Xuzhou, and he is caught off guard, many of us will also be injured." Of course, he rested north of Xuzhou for a whole winter and made hundreds of trebuchets, which was enough, so General Liu's side was not selected as the first target of the attack......"

His eyes turned and he thought: "Well, one is the delay lead, the other is the catapult thrown out, the control of time must be very accurate, the catapult will not be hastily assembled, in addition, a catapult throws ten at a time, and it is difficult to say whether there are one or two that really fall on the city wall and explode." In the battle of Tianchang alone, it is estimated that 5,000 rounds were used, whether it was Zong Bi on the east road or Zong Han on the west road, it was impossible to fight like this all the time. We now have to investigate and estimate how many of these stone bombs Xi Yin has secretly made in the past few years. The people in the south also have a number in their hearts. ”

"Well, the number over there in the Great Creation Academy, I will find a way, as for the amount of this kind of stone bullet made by the entire Jin Kingdom over the years, it may not be easy to find out...... I estimate that even if Yan Xiyin himself is finished, he may not be counted. ”

"It's good to have an approximate number, and this matter is very strange, the one next to Xi Yin, there was no rumor before, Xi Yin hid really deeply this time, and the combination of shells must have been carried out in the field...... Either that one has defected, or ......"

"That lady is apostatous, unlikely, isn't it?"

"I don't think it's very likely." Tang Minjie nodded, his eyes rolling, "That is to say, she was also completely kept in the dark by Xi Yin, which is very interesting, whether she has a heart or not, this lady should not miss such an important news...... Hee-yin already knew? To what extent did he know? Is it safe on our side? ”

When Tang Minjie said this, he looked at the companion opposite, and the companion was also stunned: "The connection with that lady is not too close, if ...... I mean, if she's exposed, we shouldn't be dragged out......"

When he said this, he was not sure, Tang Minjie showed a thoughtful smile on his face: "Forget it, keep an eye on it in the future." In any case, it is unlikely that lady will defect, and she must be more anxious than us after receiving the battle report from Yangzhou...... In the past few years, the Wu Dynasty has been promoting that Huang Tiandang defeated Wushu, and Wushu attacked Yangzhou with fire this time, I don't think Han Shizhong may be able to bear it. Boss Lu is not here, so I have to find a way to meet with that lady in the past few days and probe her tone......"

Nodding on the other side, Tang Minjie said, "In addition, this time I have to do a review." Such a simple thing, if it does not fall in Yangzhou, but falls on the head of Xuzhou, we are all responsible. ”

"Yes."

"That'...... Nothing else, right? ”

"The brothers who Wan Yanchang sent from the south heard that they have arrived in ...... two days."

"I know that. You're going to implement the shells over there. ”

Tang Minjie nodded, didn't say anything more, and the other side also nodded and said no more.

This time the joint ended, Tang Minjie went out of the room, the sun was blazing in the courtyard, on the afternoon of the fourth day of the seventh month, the message from the south came in the form of an expedited, although the requirements for the north only focused on the matter of "the goddess scattered flowers", but the situation of the entire south falling into the war could still be clearly framed in Tang Minjie's mind.

The mistake of the work made his mind a little resentful, and he reflected a little in his mind, and he had been planning how to destroy it in the cloud in the previous year, and the attention to this kind of thing under his nose was actually a little insufficient, and this matter should be vigilant in the future.

After standing in the courtyard for a while, and after his companions had left, he also went out and passed through the chaotic flow of people in the market at the other end of the road.

The area in front of you is a mixed slum area in Yunzhong Prefecture, passing through the market, and then passing a street, which is the Keio Fang where the three religions and nine streams gather. At the beginning of the afternoon, Lu Mingfang drove a large car over the street and glanced at the other side of Qingying Fang.

He didn't go in.

In the teahouse under the pretext of Keiofang, Mandu Daru, one of the chief catchers of Yunzhong Mansion, lowered the brim of his hat slightly and drank tea casually. The deputy came from opposite and sat down on the edge of the table.

"There are some problems, and the rumors are not right." The deputy said, "This morning, someone saw the '-eating dog' Long Jiuyuan, and there was someone borrowing the road from the south side of the city. ”

Mandu Daru held the teacup and muttered to himself, "Is there anything big in the city lately?" ”

"The Black Flag Army is going to be taken into the city?"

"The Black Flag Army's business, the city is not allowed to enter the city, I have already said hello to the Qi family, I want to deal with it outside, if something really happens, it stands to reason that it is also outside the city, the rumors in the city, is someone trying to fish in troubled waters, or deliberately put the bait......"

"Maybe it's all there?"

"What about the Qi family?"

"In the past two days, I have been opening the door for a banquet, and it seems that I want to tie up a group of boys."

"But the Protectors didn't move." Mandu Daru smiled and said, "Strange. ”

The afternoon sun was still dazzling, and while Mandu Daru felt the strange atmosphere on the street, some people met here in the Qingying Fang, among these people, there were Xiao Shuqing and Zou Wenhu who had previously discussed, and Long Jiuyuan, the most unruly but notorious "-eating dog" in the underworld in the clouds, and several outlaws who were already on the government's wanted list.

On the side of the crowd, there was also a pale and thin-looking son, this was a Jurchen nobleman, under the introduction of Zou Wenhu, this son-in-law stood in the crowd and greeted a group of outlaws who seemed to be not good.

This is a Jurchen after a national duke, named Wanyan Wenqin, and his grandfather was a fierce general who followed Agu in his early years, but unfortunately died young. After Yan Wenqin passed on the line, after his father went, he relied on his grandfather's legacy, although his life was more ordinary than ordinary people, but he was not valued in front of the relatives and nobles in Cloud City.

If possible, Wanyan Wenqin is also willing to follow the army to the south and conquer the Wu Dynasty, but it is a pity that he has been weak since he was a child, although he feels that his spirit is brave and not losing to his ancestors, but his body cannot support such a fearless soul.

Seeing that this outlaw has a lot of hatred and hatred with the Jin Imperial Court, he is not afraid, and even a flush of excitement appeared on his cheeks, and he greeted everyone without humility or arrogance, calling out the names of the other party one by one, and in the slight movement of everyone, he said his thoughts of supporting everyone's action.

“…… The Qi family was arrogant and shallow, the old man of the Qi family, his son was killed by the Black Flag Army, so he asked Wan Yanchang for more than ten prisoners of the Black Flag Army. The captives will arrive tomorrow, but the place of detention is not in the city, but in the Qi family in Xinzhuang in the south of the city, the old man not only wants to kill these prisoners, but also wants to use this group of prisoners to lure out the spies of the Black Flag Army in Yunzhong Mansion. ”

Wanyan Wenqin said, taking a deep breath: "Because of this matter, the big guys are staring at the other industries outside the city, as for the city, everyone is not careless, but ...... Ahem, everyone doesn't care about what happens to the Qi family. If we want to move the Qi family, let's not do it outside the city, just in the city, grab Qi Yan and his three sons, five grandsons and four great-grandchildren, and transport them out of the city...... As long as you start with a measured hand, the movement will not be big. ”

He paused: "There are a lot of things in the Qi family, many treasures, some of which are in the city, and many of them, are hidden by the old man of the Qi family all over the world...... The Han people have the heaviest bloodline, and they have caught Qi Yan and his descendants, so you can concoct it well, and what the old man has, he will naturally reveal it. If you can ask for it, you can take it according to your ability, and when you get it back, I can do it for you...... Of course, you are all old rivers and lakes, and naturally you all have the means. As for Yunzhong Mansion, if you can take it on the spot, you can take it on the spot, if not, my side will naturally have a way to deal with it. What do you think? “

"If something happens in the city, I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to run." The dragon nine abyss in front of the Yin Survey Tunnel.

Wanyan Wenqin also laughed: "You heroes don't have to lie to me, it's not the first time that you have entered and exited the clouds, there must be a means to save your life, otherwise you dare to come here to gather, you should have died a long time ago......."

His words were not good, and everyone's faces showed fierce light, but Wanyan Wenqin was not afraid: "Second, I naturally understand that this matter will be risky, and it may be difficult to win your trust with the assurances on the side." I am finished with Yan Wenqin, and I will walk with you. Tomorrow, I will go to the Qi Mansion for a banquet first, and then you will make sure that I am in, and then take me hostage, if I deceive you, you will kill me at any time. And even if there is an accident, with me and a group of ministers as hostages, what are you afraid of? Can't go? Why don't I take you out? ”

Wanyan Wenqin said this, showing a contemptuous and crazy smile. Although Wanyan Wenqin was weak since he was a child, he always saw the edge of his ancestors, and at this time, the fearless momentum on his body made everyone present startled, and they were all in awe.

Indeed, in the matter in front of him, no matter how he guarantees, it is always difficult for everyone to trust each other, but the other party is so identical that he directly takes his life, and there is nothing to say. Insurance has achieved this step in front of you, and the rest is naturally rich and risky. At the moment, even the most unruly outlaws couldn't help but say a few words of compliment to Yan Wenqin, which was impressive.

At the moment, he discussed the steps of the second day a little, and Wanyan Wenqin revealed some information slightly - although this matter seems to be Xiao Shuqing contacting Zou Wenhu, Wanyan Wenqin's side has already mastered some information, such as the situation of the Qi family's nursing home, and the joints that can be bought, Xiao Shuqing and others have already mastered the family background of some people in the Qi Mansion, such as the housekeeper and nursing home, and are even ready to seize some of the other party's family members. After a little exchange, most of the treasures and storage places in the Qi Mansion were also understood, and according to Wanyan Wenqin, at the time of the incident, the members of the Black Flag had been escorted to the clouds, and there was turmoil outside the city.

In this way, everyone naturally understood that for the transaction in front of him, Wanyan Wenqin had already hooked up with some other people, and it was no wonder that he opened his mouth at this time to swallow the Qi family's treasures in Yunzhong Mansion.

Everyone didn't ask much about these inside information, if it was just these outlaws, who wanted to carve up the Qi family, they still had no way to catch it, and there were still these Jurchen bigwigs above who wanted the Qi family to fall, and they would be cheaper with some leftovers, it would be better.

A group of people discussed and stopped, and then they each said hello and left with a smile. Only when they left, they more or less glanced at a wall on one side of the room, but they didn't say much. After they all left, Wanyan Wenqin waved his hand and asked Zou Wenhu to go out as well, and he walked over there and pushed open a secret door.

In the room, there were three Jurchen men sitting, looking at their appearance, the oldest was probably not over forty. When Yan Wenqin entered, the three of them all looked at him with impressive eyes: "I didn't expect that Wen Qin seemed to be weak, and his heart was so decisive." ”

"The ancestors of the family ruled the world back then, and it was a future that was won by life, and Wen Qin longed for it since he was a child, but it was a pity that he ...... Ahem, God won't give me a chance to kill the enemy on the battlefield. This southern expedition, the world is going to be decided, although Wen Qin is not as big as your family, but there are dozens of mouths to raise, there will only be more in the future, Wen Qin's name is not a pity, but he does not want this family to be scattered in his own hands. The world is vicious, the weak eat the strong, the Qi family is a good deal, Wen Qin took his life, do you brothers still have any opinions? ”

He seemed to be smiling, his face was fearless, the three of them looked at each other, the eldest took two cups of tea, one for each other and one for himself, and then all four raised their teacups: "It's done." ”

Several people drank tea, and the matter had been settled, Wan Yan Wenqin smiled again: "Actually, I'm thinking, your brothers are not the ones who will be satisfied with the Qi family, right?" ”

The three of them were slightly stunned: "Wen Qin wouldn't want to do something to those guys, right?" ”

"The things of the world, killing and killing, are meaningless, and the pattern is small." Wanyan Wenqin shook his head, "The elder brothers in the court and the army are big shots, but there are also heroes in the recklessness. As Wen Qin said, after this southern expedition, the world will be settled, and the situation in Yunzhong Mansion will slowly be settled...... Brothers, you might as well think about it......"

The three of them looked at each other, Wanyan Wenqin clasped his hands with each other, and there was a demagogic voice in his words: "In the past, these dragons and snakes mixed characters would not come together, and even if they did, it would be difficult to join hands, but this time is a good opportunity, if this deal is done well, let's unify these people in the future, the underworld characters in Yunzhong Mansion, even if they are all under our hands, there is a relationship between the three elder brothers, plus the underworld is not hindered, what can't you do to get rich?" I have heard people say that in the green forest of the Wu Dynasty, there is a so-called martial arts alliance leader, and if there is an alliance leader, there must be an alliance...... Hey, things in the world, I'm afraid of alliances, once an alliance is formed, it's a very different thing than a rabble......"

"Things in the world, afraid of alliances?" The oldest man looked at Yan Wenqin, "I didn't expect Wenqin to be so knowledgeable at such a young age, this thing is interesting." ”

He looked at the other two: "About this alliance, why don't we discuss it?" ”

This time the Jurchens went south, under the banner of destroying the Wu Dynasty, with great determination, and everyone knew about it. There must be fewer and fewer things in the world that rise because of military exploits, and everyone understands in their hearts that the Jurchens who remain in the north have a greater sense of distress. After Yan Wenqin's incitement, everyone really saw a glimmer of hope, and they discussed it again.

When they said goodbye to each other and left, Wanyan Wenqin's body shook slightly, and he looked quite weak, but the flush on his face became worse, and it was obvious that today's incident made him in a huge excitement.

Born in the family of Guogong, Wanyan Wenqin has a very high heart since he was a child, but it is a pity that his weak body and his grandfather who went early did affect his ambitions, he was not satisfied since he was a child, and his heart was full of resentment......
