Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 277

After eating a full dinner and taking a comfortable hot bath, Li Le'an applied herbs to Shen Gui's eyes to dispel stasis and calm his nerves, and told him to sleep steadily.

After serving Shen Gui, the stubborn donkey, Li Le'an came directly to the room of the Qi family and his wife.

"The Sea Shark Gang is shamanic, and it's ...... ruin. Is the medicine ready? ”

When Li Le'an pushed the door into the house, several people in the room were eating. On that mottled and dilapidated table, there was a table of coarse vegetables and thin wine, but it was already a rare and sumptuous for this country foot shop that specializes in the business of ordinary people. Because Shencheng is located in Jiangnan Province, the taste of the dishes is generally sweet, and it is difficult for the Youbei people who have a heavy taste in this whole house to adapt to it for the time being.

"Don't worry, he should have fallen asleep. The eye disease is not serious, and after two or three days at most, the blood will almost all be dispersed, and you will not become blind. “

After listening to this, Zigqi nodded, and spat out a piece of old ginger that had changed its color on the table:

"That's fine. After the city gate opens tomorrow morning, Xiao Hui will change his appearance and sneak into the city to find out the news, if ......"

Qi Hui shook his head when he heard this, swallowed the food in his mouth hard, and said:

"Don't be a no, I don't even have to go into the city! Have you all forgotten? We have already smashed all the pots and pans of the Diting and the Liangjiang Alliance! There has been such a big commotion, if there is no abnormality on the street tomorrow, it is that a big net has already been opened, just waiting for us to crash into it! If I go into the city at this time, is it to find out the news? It's obviously exposed news! ”

Although Qi Hui's inference is somewhat taken for granted, it is not outrageous. The Sea Shark Gang is an emerging force in Nanyasu, and it is far inferior to the other two in terms of connections above the court and the precipitation of its own heritage; The reason why the Sea Shark Gang was able to occupy a place at the Shencheng Wharf was entirely because these two big families who had already taken root were unwilling to fight desperately against these poor ghosts who originally had nothing.

In order to help Shen Gui, who went to seek revenge, and attract enough attention, they could only try their best to muddy the water surface of Shencheng! Therefore, the brothers of the Sea Shark Gang all received a large amount of severance pay yesterday, and these people joined forces to turn the entire Shencheng upside down; After that, the once invincible Sea Shark Gang completely disappeared.

That's the difference between the local incumbents and the upstarts that pop up. After the tide receded, the sea shark gang swimming naked underwater completely exposed their bare butts! Although on the surface, Shen Gui, Guo Yunsong, and Tiejia have completely crushed the Zheng family, the main director of the Minjiang water thieves, from top to bottom; Even Mei Yuan, the chief of the water thieves in Jiangnan Province, was also buried as a companion; Even among the seven high-level leaders of Di Ting, the lion's tail, Bai Yuyan, who ranked fifth, was almost handed over to him, it seems that this battle should be regarded as a complete victory, right?

However, in fact, they lost Guo Yunsong and Tiejia, and also lost the Sea Shark Gang, which the Qi family and his wife had painstakingly run, and Huayan Firm, which was renamed the Sea Shark Trading Company; And what did they get? Except for a few mouthfuls of resentment in his chest, nothing can be exchanged back!

First of all, Dongsha Island, an extralegal place deliberately forgotten by the Nankang Imperial Court, was severely injured at this time due to its original owner, the Liangjiang Alliance, and needed a period of recuperation, so now it has all been returned to the hands of Di Ting. And the floating wealth of the Sea Shark Gang, although it had been entrusted to Huinan Qianzhuang in advance; But after all, it was because they acted too hastily, which led to the shops and land under their names being completely rotten in Jiangnan Province. And after they withdrew from Shencheng, the light and dark handicaps left behind would also be eaten by the other two big households.

From a realistic point of view, the loss suffered by Di Ting is probably only Bai Yuyan alone; Although the Liangjiang Alliance has suffered heavy losses, the position of the person in charge is not too much different for anyone to do, it is nothing more than an extra effort for internal adjustment and a few more meetings to seize power.

Who will win in the end, judging from the results alone, is actually very obvious. However, for these Youbei people in the house, everyone will settle the account, but some things are the kind of things that they know are losing money and must do it. After all, life and emotion, which seem to be ethereal things, cannot be measured by price and benefits in the hearts of these "foreign barbarians".

Qi Lingyan, who had already eaten and drunk enough, saw that the scene was cooling down because of Qi Hui's words at this time, so he put down the teacup in time and said:

"Actually, the Sea Shark Gang doesn't matter, after all, the shamans supporting the skeleton are already ...... The rest of the gang members are just earning a piece of money to support their families, which is not a pity; Moreover, Fu Du is still on the side of Yizhou Island, and if we are really desperate, we can choose to settle there; After all, all the forces in Huayu Continent have been preparing to move recently, and it is hard to say when there will be wolf smoke again; If we leave at this time, we can just avoid the upcoming military trouble. “

Yan Shuqing didn't actively participate in the discussion of future plans, but just put his hands on his chin and sighed listlessly:

"Hey, it seems that we have been driven away since we hit the East Customs. The world is so big, why is there no place for us? ”

Her whining sentence also made the scene cold again; Only Qi Yan, who had been playing with the knife at his fingertips, opened his mouth and said:

"It's not easy to find a place to stay? If you are tired of this kind of upside-down life, you can go back to the eldest princess's mansion on the third road of Youbei, and you will still be stranded on an overseas island? But I kindly advise you, at least for the next time, that you should not go back! ”

Ziegge raised his eyebrows when he heard this:

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Today I was on my way to the Mei family's mansion of the Jiangnan water thieves, and I heard a message. It is said that the three roads of Youbei and the Mobei grassland have started a war! So after some investigation, I learned that the first battle was fought last night, the two sides fought fiercely under the city of Taining all night, and Ding Shuo, the general of Taining, who was responsible for guarding the Zhongshan Road, was killed by the Mobei people and lost his armor, and even his deputy commander - Zhang De, was killed on the battlefield together. Now the body of Deputy Commander Zhang has been hung in the tower of Taining City by the Mobei people, and his head is being sent to Fengjing City by messenger! ”

Everyone here is a native of the old Youbei, and naturally knows what kind of important geographical location Taining City on Zhongshan Road occupies. Now that Taining City is broken, it is equivalent to the opening of the door of Zhongshan Road. And Ding Shuo, the Taining general who was in charge of the border, not only suffered a big defeat, but also broke a veteran of the Governor's Army who had been famous for a long time! The battlefield performance is so unbearable, just using the four words of throwing away the armor to describe it, it is a bit of a lifting of him Ding Shuo!

After listening to the battle report, Yan Shuqing's worries about the imperial brother also permeated the fair-skinned face; And Zigge slapped the table hard and scolded:

"How is this battle fought? I've heard the name Zhang De, although he is also an incompetent person, but he always has the ability to defend the city, and it is not enough to be cut off by someone in just one night! Moreover, who is the general of the unified army? How come I've never heard of it? ”

Although Zigqi has long since become a pirate, he is not an amateur in the affairs of soldiers; In addition, he still has a certain degree of understanding of Zhang De, the deputy commander who died last night, so he naturally puts the first responsibility for the defeat on the head of the little-known general Taining.

If it weren't for the scruples that Yan Shuqing was still sitting opposite, he would definitely say what he really thought in his heart: This Ding Shuo must be an incompetent relative of a certain royal family of the clan mansion, with the despicable idea of gilding and attacking by the way, and went to Zhongshan Road to make peace!

However, Qi Yan sneered and shook his head at the indignant Zigqi:

"Your acquaintance Zhang De is indeed a veteran of defending the city after many years of training by Governor Fu. However, the leaders of Mobei are also not unknown. If the intelligence is correct, then even if there is no stupid General Taining, who commands the battle indiscriminately on the battlefield; Only the Zhongshan Governor's Army, which was originally a second-rate army, is also not the opponent of this ASEAN iron cavalry! ”

After hearing this conclusion, Qi Lingyan, who had served as the protector of the shamanic sect, asked curiously:

"ASEAN Iron Rider...... Is it the cavalry of the ASEAN grasslands? I've dealt with Su Heqi a few times, and I don't think he can have any talent as a general! ”

"Sister Lingyan, the Su He you mentioned in your mouth is already the old yellow calendar of what year! Today's Mobei grassland has become a pot of hot porridge! And Su He, who is in the grassland of ASEAN, has long been driven out of Mobei by his family, and is now hiding in Fengjing City to eat big households! The men and horses who invaded Taining City this time were all the teams of the Shenshi tribe; Their Khan king is called Chaolu, as for the commander of the army...... Hehe, say his name, the big guys have heard it, an old acquaintance, Guo Xing. ”

After hearing the name Guo Xing, everyone immediately fell into memories. Suddenly, Li Le'an slapped his thigh and looked at Qi Yan with a shocked face:

"Is it that little marquis Guo Xing? The son of Guo Xiao, Marquis of Pingbei? So, Beiyan and Mobei have formed an alliance again? ”

Qi Yan was stunned by her question, tilted his head and thought about it carefully, and then shook his head:

"It's possible, but there's no direct evidence. After all, the Beiyan people are also not having a good time now, and the relationship between Chang'an's Zhou Changfeng and Mugel in the northwest grassland is also very ambiguous, and Emperor Zhou Yuanqing has no time to meddle in the family affairs of our Youbei Third Road......"

Zigqi frowned at this time, and asked Qi Yan while knocking on the table:

"I'm amazed! You are a stranger who is not familiar with the place, but you secretly took a trip to Shencheng, where did you get so much news? ”

"Listen to the truth!"

"The price offered by Di Ting is not low, you often carry such a large amount of silver tickets with you?"

"What do you mean by that? I'm a snitch born in the rivers and lakes, and I bring my own money when I go out, isn't that tantamount to deceiving my teacher and destroying my ancestors? ”

"And where did you get the money?"

"Use the title deeds and house deeds of your Sea Shark Firm!"

When Siegqi heard this, he quickly touched the inside of his middle coat, and his expression became extremely complicated......
