Although Shen Gui was also invited to the Tongmeng Pavilion to 'attend the meeting', he did not say a word during the meeting. It was not until after the meeting was dismissed that he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, and in the face of the inquiries of Li Deng and Wan Changning, Shen Gui conveyed the "spirit of instructions" of the "meeting". After that, he shook his head worriedly, and said to the two who were thinking:

"I believe in Xu Yanhua's personality, and I am willing to believe in his sincerity...... But I still feel a little relieved about the people of Fengjing, and I don't know if their stance can be as firm as Fang Cai when their lives are threatened...... Of course, I never expected them to play much of a role in this incident; But if they retreat from the battle tomorrow and only 'long live the mountain' after Yan Qinghong sits on the dragon chair, then all the thoughts and efforts of our people for many days will be in vain......"

After listening to his words, Wan Changning raised his hand and flipped through a yellow calendar on the table, rolled his eyelids upward, and after thinking silently for a long time, he gently knocked on the table with two fingers, and said to Shen Gui:

"If nothing unexpected happens on the Zhongshan Road, then according to the speed of the cavalry's march, the second prince will have to lead the army to reach Fengjing City at the earliest about the beginning of the Shen hour tomorrow. But tomorrow's noon is the time when Yan Tian and Ni Xing's three-day appointment is full; At the same time, today is also the day when the new tax law officially begins. After tomorrow's showdown, there is still a blank period of more than one hour, how can we carry this hour? Could it be that you really have to sacrifice the lives of the entire Sanbei Academy and Xu Yanhua and their people? ”

According to Shen Gui and Yan Qinghong's plan, no matter how lively Li Zilin and those relatives of the Li family are fighting on Dongyou Road; As long as Yan Qinghong and Fu Yi successfully gathered the military spirit of the Zhongshan Governor's army, they would immediately seize the time to turn around and personally lead a team of no less than 5,000 light cavalry to escort the 'fallen prince' Yan Qinghong back to Fengjing.

And to this day, all the arrangements and calculations of Shen Gui, Li Deng and others are, in the final analysis, all aimed at successfully completing the transfer of power under the premise of not bloodshed.

Under the 'careful temptation' of Shen Gui and Li Deng, the two sons-in-law, the crown prince Yan Day, who originally had the upper hand, finally turned Fengjing, the capital of Youbei Third Road, upside down. In today's situation, with only those bandit soldiers under Zhang Huangling, plus the Taibai Janissaries who had just been hit hard by Liu Banxian, Fengjingcheng's defense force was simply fragile and pitiful.

Since Yan Tian is so unpopular, it is foreseeable that as long as the second prince Yan Qinghong personally leads the army to show his face outside the city, the people of Fengjing will immediately eat pot pulp and welcome the king into the city. As for Zhang Huangling, who was responsible for defending the defense of the capital, and the 20,000 Flying Tiger Army under his command, his combat effectiveness was not too strong, and the boss's always ambiguous and wavering attitude was not to be feared at all; As for the Taibai Janissaries who are worth two thousand...... It will not be put in the eyes of Shen Gui, the only seedling of the Guo family.

In the face of Wan Changning's worries and Shen Hui's return to the future, Li Deng had already spoken first:

"Shen Gui, listen, no matter what kind of situation you face tomorrow, the people of Sanbei Academy will not allow any mistakes! Be sure to leave some reading seeds for Youbei! As for the people...... If you can, you should try to protect them as much as possible......"

Shen Gui tilted his head and looked at the Prime Minister of Youbei, and only felt a little funny in his heart. His father-in-law, in the eyes of outsiders, is an unsmiling and cunning image; But in fact, his own personality is quite deviant, and he does not hide his shortcomings.

"Don't worry, how to choose between life and death, can I still not understand? I can't let your old man, leading a group of illiterate people to rebuild the three roads in the north! What I'm most worried about at the moment is the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Yan Tian and Liu Zhina's master and servant are not authentic on weekdays. They are under the dog jumping off the wall, who knows what immoral things they will do? Now that Liu Banxian has disappeared, the two mansions of the Shen Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion have become our flaws. If the defense forces are too dispersed, some accidents will inevitably arise...... In this way, when I return home in a while, I will immediately ask Lao Shan to bring everyone to your prime minister's mansion to avoid it. In this way, with Lao Shan and Uncle Fu sitting at the same time, there will be no more mistakes. ”

After listening to this, Li Deng nodded, and there was no opinion in his heart; The only thing that made him feel a little strange was the expression on Shen Gui's face that wanted to speak and stopped.

"Now that this is the case, what else is it inconvenient for you to export?"

"Well, it's not a big deal...... Yan Shuqing, the princess of Fengyang, still lives in the library building of the cold house. There seems to be some misunderstanding between him and Le'an that has not been resolved......"

"Hahahaha...... Well, the old man understood. Try to avoid the two of her seeing each other tomorrow. But Shen Gui, the old man still has to remind you: if it's just tomorrow, you may still be able to hide; But if you have been so indecisive in the matter of men and women, it is not a long-term solution! ”

Of course, Shen Gui understands this truth in his heart, and he is just taking advantage of the fact that he has 'business' to be busy, treating himself as an 'ostrich' and not thinking about it, but tomorrow, no matter whether Yan Qinghong succeeds or fails, Shen Gui himself still can't avoid this fate......

After Shen returned to his home, he immediately arranged for Shan Qingquan to lead the crowd to the Prime Minister's Mansion to avoid trouble. And after everyone left, the entire Shen Mansion suddenly quieted down, except for the occasional breeze blowing the treetops, only the sound of flowing water in the courtyard was left. Shen Gui, who was full of worries, finally reluctantly slept with the strength of the wine.

The next day, Shen Gui woke up from his hangover and saw that his room was crowded with all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes. Qi Hui, who was sitting at the head of the bed and was manicure, saw Shen Gui open his sleepy eyes, and immediately picked up a wet cotton handkerchief from the copper basin at hand, threw it on his face at will, and muttered angrily:

"I thought you were dead! Get up, it's time to get to work! ”

Among this group of all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, there are men, women, young and old, people of high and low generations, but after everyone walked out of the door of the Shen Mansion, they automatically and spontaneously stepped back together; In this way, Shen Gui was given the position of the head of the team. It's not that Shen Gui has a high reputation in the rivers and lakes; But the person he represents today is a respected old beggar Wu Chengfeng.

To this day, most of the people who are still 'stranded' in Fengjing City are poor families. And their livelihood in supporting their families on weekdays is also varied and strange; Although these people have no power and power, and most of them are illiterate, when they are combined, they form the worldly side of Youbei Sanlu, which is full of fireworks. Those eunuchs, wealthy and wealthy gentry are limited after all, and they cannot represent the entire Youbei Third Road; And these market people, unknown people, are the masters who really live in this land.

The group turned out of the Shen Mansion located in the back street of Hezhong, and before they went far, they saw the old bookkeeper with white hair - Xu Yanhua. The people standing behind Mr. Xu were all men in their twenties and thirties. At this time, each of them was holding a 'long wooden stick' of different shapes, which at first glance looked like a weapon transformed from agricultural tools, and at the end of the procession, there were ten middle-aged women carrying flat poles, and the first one was the 'fierce woman' who had 'discussed' with Mr. Xu yesterday.

Shen Gui only looked at Xu Yanhua and stood beside him without saying a word, and the two teams of 'Jianghu people' and 'ordinary people' gathered into a long dragon, and under Mr. Xu's shouting, they began to slowly march towards Nanmen Street. Halfway through the journey, many people who had heard the news spontaneously joined the team. In this way, before he has gone far, this 'human dragon' is already out of sight......

Ni Xing, Ni Fuzi's physical condition was not very good. After three days of meditation without eating or drinking, my body was already very weak. At this moment, he rested his head against the coffin of his beloved disciple Wei Gui, and was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep; After hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps from far and near, he slowly opened his eyes...... At this glance, Ni Fuzi's eyes instantly blurred!

Of course, he knew how indifferent the people he saved were when Wei Gui died tragically; I also saw with my own eyes how the Flying Tiger soldiers committed murder in the street, how the people who were watching were afraid to avoid it. Ever since he led his disciples to this South Gate Street, he had already made all the students mentally prepared to 'fight alone'. In Ni Fuzi's view, this act of 'sacrificing one's life for righteousness and admonishing the king with one's death was within the purview of their scholars, and had nothing to do with the illiterate common people, and of course they could not be forced to 'disregard life' as much as themselves.

But even though he is old, he can still feel what kind of majestic momentum the group of people who are walking towards him at this moment!

Their steps were untidy, even messy; The 'weapons' in their hands could be seen at a glance what they were originally, and although the people in the team were all young men, they could also be seen from their physical figures that they were not brave men in ordinary times......

Despite the unbearable composition of the staff, none of them deliberately slowed down, nor did any of them look left and right with timidity. The momentum they are now holding can be called 'unity' or 'fighting against the odds'.

The person at the head of the team is the old man Xu Yanhua in the account room. He waved his hand and stopped the team behind him, walked in front of Ni Xing alone, bowed and bowed, and said in a firm tone:

"Master Ni and his subordinates are not afraid of power, and they ask for the people's lives outside the south gate of the palace, so that the people of Fengjing are both deeply moved and ashamed...... Today, the old man and the people come again, just to advance and retreat together with all the sages, and ask for an explanation from the faint king! Right and wrong have their own merits, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! Although Xu and the people have no wealth or power, they cannot respond to your righteous deeds; But in the end, there is still a life, and there is still a 'human heart', which can be given to all the sages, and it is cited as the word 'justice'! ”
