This was planned by Wu Ning a long time ago, and when he asked Chen Ziang to resign and return to his hometown, he had already thought of a way back.

To put it bluntly, even if he has no intention of plotting and wants to hide in the rivers and lakes, Wu Ning promised Helan Minzhi to investigate the mystery of the murder of his mother, so the identity of Chen Ziang's disciple is still very necessary for him

If it hadn't been for this incident, even if Wu Chengsi had been a few days late, Wu Ning would have already left Fangzhou with Qin Miaoniang and came to Shehong.

Here, Wu Ning changed his name and surname to worship Chen Ziang as his teacher, and then casually did some small business and continued to accumulate family wealth.

After a few years, when everyone slowly forgot about Wu Ning in Fangzhou, he slowly found out the truth of the year with a new identity as a famous teacher and apprentice.

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the tragedy of going down the mountain col disrupted Wu Ning's plan.

He can't be a little rich and peaceful, and he can't be stable anymore, because more than 400 souls are waiting for him to show the snow.

Wu Ning must re-plan the road in the future, but one thing is certain, that is, to worship Chen Ziang as a teacher.

It was, and still is, a necessary choice.

......

"Apprentice Chen Ziang?" Meng Cangsheng frowned and pondered.

"You want to do business?"

Wu Ning wants revenge, no matter when, he must return to Beijing in the future.

In this way, it is really good to apprentice Chen Ziang.

Chen Boyu don't look at the official position when he was an official, and the popularity of officialdom is also average, but if you only talk about poetry and articles, looking at the Tang Dynasty, Chen Ziang can definitely be regarded as the first-class among the first-class, and he is a veritable celebrity.

This resignation and return to his hometown helped him earn a lot of good reputation. If Wu Ning worships him as a teacher and becomes Chen Ziang's disciple, he will inevitably attract attention in the literary world in the future.

But......

I heard Meng Cangsheng say: "You have to know who the enemy you may face is!" ”

"Even if you are nominated for the gold list, your official fortune is prosperous, and you are just a prime minister after half your life. But what about your enemies? What can the prime minister do in their eyes? ”

"Huh." Wu Ning heard this and laughed dryly, "Who said that I want to be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official?" ”

As he spoke, he stopped pedestrians on the side of the street and asked where Chen Ziang's house was.

When the man heard that he was looking for Chen Boyu, a famous man who shot Hong, he immediately glanced at it and pointed out the way for everyone.

While Wu Ning walked towards Chen Ziang's house, he said to Meng Cangsheng: "You are right, if you want to succeed, it is not possible to have no one of your own people in the court." ”

"But there's only one to do."

Pointing at Wu Qi with his chin, "It's enough to have him from the text, I only need the name of Chen Boyu's disciple to enhance my reputation." ”

“......”

Meng Daoye was speechless for a while, "Then what are you going to do yourself?" What's next to your business? ”

Wu Ning shook his head, the hatred at that level, no matter how much money there is, it is in vain.

Seeing that Chen Ziang's home was about to arrive, Wu Ning didn't say much to Meng Cangsheng, but said, "Let's talk about it for a while!" ”

“......”

Meng Cangsheng saw that he seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, and he had already arrived in front of Chen Ziang's house, so he didn't ask any more.

took the initiative to knock on the door and let the servants report that there was a guest visiting Fangzhou.

When the servant heard this, he glanced at a few people for a while, and then went in to report.

After a while, as expected, Chen Ziang personally greeted him.

However, to Meng Cangsheng's surprise, in addition to Chen Ziang, there is also Qin Wenyuan here.

Why is Uncle Wu Ning here? Meng Daoye said in his heart, this is also what you calculated a long time ago? Impossible, right?

Not to mention, Wu Ning had really prepared it a long time ago.

Remember when he traveled with Taiping and the others, Wu Ning entrusted the Shu merchant Li Ke to bring Qin Wenyuan something?

When those things arrived in Qin Wenyuan's hands, he asked him to send them to Shehong again.

This is also Wu Ning's action in order to run away.

It's just that as soon as Qin Wenyuan escorted Wu Ning's batch of things arrived in Shehong, there was a rumor of the changes in Fangzhou.

At that time, Chen Ziang and Qin Wenyuan were surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that if Wu Ning was still alive, then he was likely to come to shoot the flood.

Therefore, Qin Wenyuan didn't leave when he was in Shehong, and he waited here for nearly a month.

Fortunately, Wu Ning was finally waited.

At this time, Chen Ziang and Qin Wenyuan heard that they were from Fangzhou, and hurriedly greeted them.

When I saw that it was really Wu Ning, the first time I was scared to look left and right. Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled Wu Ning into the house.

After everyone came in, Chen Ziang hurriedly closed the door.

"Kuro! Why did you swagger and come!? ”

Wu Ning's heart moved, and his heart sank.

"What? Has there been a conclusion on the side of the court? The Wu family has really become a traitor, right? ”

Chen Ziang pulled Wu Ning, "Go in and say!" ”

......

————————

The imperial court has indeed reached a conclusion on the case of the destruction of Xiashan Pass, and the black and white are reversed, and it is difficult to recover from the injustice.

Not only did Wu Chengsi and Li Chen not deserve any crimes, but they were rewarded for their merits.

The edict issued by Wu Zetian personally beat all the more than 400 members of the Wu family into a traitor who deceived the monarch.

Although Wu Changlu died, he did not let go, and was stripped of his official position and demoted to slavery.

He Lanmin's death is not a pity, and the crime is added to the first degree.

Yang's wife, who had nothing to do with Beijing, was also exiled.

Even the Fangzhou City Guard Battalion, which spoke for the Wu family that night and refused to obey Li Chen's orders, was also falsely accused of being an accomplice, and all the 500 soldiers in the battalion were sent to Yumen Pass and enslaved forever.

Chen Ziang and Qin Wenyuan were so flustered, which is why they were so flustered.

The Wu family has become a traitor, if people know that the Wu family still has remnants, then pay it back?

“......”

After listening to Chen Ziang's detailed statement of the events of the rest of the month, to everyone's surprise, Wu Ning was extremely calm.

He was not in a hurry to talk to Chen Ziang, but looked at his father-in-law Qin Wenyuan and said: "Lord Yue, there is no longer anything to do with you here, you better hurry back to Yizhou!" ”

Qin Wenyuan frowned, knowing that Wu Ning had good intentions and didn't want him to be implicated.

However, the old man looked at his daughter standing behind Wu Ning obediently and skillfully, and said in his heart: My daughter is bent on following you to suffer, what does it make if I, an old man, are implicated or not?

"Less nonsense! I, Qin Wen, am far from being a person who is afraid of things, since I am sitting here, there is nothing to take care of! ”

"And...."

The old man looked directly at Wu Ning, "The old man believes that you have the ability to make Shen Zhaoxue wronged." ”

"Okay!" Wu Ning was not hypocritical, and got up to salute his father-in-law, "Then it will even affect Lord Yue-in-law." ”

Qin Wenyuan waved his hand, "What are you going to do when you don't see the outside now?" ”

"From the current point of view, the matter of slaughtering the village is obvious, and it was done at the behest of Wu Cao. What Brother Bo Yuxian said is really right, that woman is yin and yin, and she is indeed ruthless!! ”

“......”

Wu Ning didn't rush to reply, just shook his head secretly.

The reason why Chen Ziang thinks so much about Wu Zetian is because he is deeply influenced by He Lan Minzhi.

But in this matter alone, Wu Zetian is certainly suspicious, and the most suspicious, but it is not impossible for others.

said indifferently: "Actually, if Wu Cao did it or not, she would have beaten the Wu family as a traitor." ”

This is the reason why Wu Ning guessed that the imperial court had a conclusion, and there was no surprise after hearing that the Wu family had become a traitor.

He had long expected this outcome.

Chen Ziang frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Ning said: "No matter who premeditated this matter, even if Wu Zetian knew that Wu Chengsi and Li Chen were suspected of killing people with a knife, at this time, she would definitely beat the Wu family into a traitor." ”

"Why?"

Chen Ziang didn't understand, "Didn't you say that Wu Cao has been quite biased towards the Wu family and you recently?" If it wasn't her, then why didn't she speak for the Wu family and avenge you? ”

"Huh." Wu Ning smiled bitterly, "Because she is the emperor, my Master Chen!" ”

"My son should give up at a critical moment, let alone me, the Wu family?"

"Now that she has won the throne, the news of Helan Min's fraudulent death has come out."

"Even if she didn't poke it out herself in order to stabilize the courtiers, then she couldn't speak for the Wu family and her uncle. If she didn't even have this determination, what kind of emperor would she be? ”

"Uh."

Well, Chen Ziang was dumbfounded.

In terms of wisdom in political strategy, Chen Ziang had to admit that Wu Ning threw him 800 streets.

"So..."

Chen Ziang groaned, "These days, I have also written to ask the old people in Beijing. ”

"According to rumors in the capital, it is said that Wu Chengsi received a secret report some time ago, that is, when you and Princess Taiping were traveling in the Three Gorges. Only then did he grasp the whereabouts of Minzhi's brother. ”

Then on the second day of Wu Cao's accession to the throne, Yu Yu poked the matter out in the palace. At that time, Li Dan, the prime minister, and Wu Sansi, the king of Liang, were also present and contributed to the incident. ”

"Could it be...... It's true? Is it really not Wu Zetian's doing? ”

Wu Ning listened and pondered for a long time, "Then, this whistleblower is too good at picking the right moment." ”

"But if that is the case, what is his purpose?"

Chen Ziang said that Princess Taiping had mentioned it in her letter to him, but Wu Ning didn't take it seriously at that time.

Looking back these days, he had to deduce this possibility.

But what is the purpose of this whistleblower?

This is what has always bothered Wu Ning and made him dare not make up his mind.

To put it bluntly, on the surface, finding out Helan Minzhi and Wu Ning can be anyone, and they can achieve many purposes.

It can be Wu Zetian, she can use this to deter courtiers.

It can be a person in the court who opposes Wu Zetian, and uses this to shake Wu Zetian's authority.

It can also be Wu Chenghe, who intends to save the position, or he may simply want to get rid of Helan Minzhi and get rid of Wu Ning.

However, in the light of the current state of affairs, none of this makes sense.

This matter can be said to be incompatible, the donkey's lips are not in the horse's mouth, and the front and back do not match at all.

If it was Wu Zetian, she should have unknowingly arrested Helan Minzhi and Wu Ning back, and then suddenly beheaded the two in public one day, showing her righteous and ruthless methods.

will definitely not let Li Chen do it in Fangzhou and make himself extremely passive.

This kind of thing Mrs. Wu can't do.

But if the courtiers want to deal with Wu Zetian and tell the ......

Then he succeeded!

Mrs. Wu was in a hurry and went to pick up people from the courtiers, but was pulled to the table by Li Chen. In the end, he had to issue an edict to brand the Wu family as a traitor to the party in order to quell the rumors.

However, what about the aftermath?

At this time, why didn't the courtiers make a move? Shouldn't it be a big fuss about this matter in one go? Why didn't you look like you were caught off guard?

And Wu Chenghe, who intends to save the position, and simply wants to kill Wu Ning and Helan Minzhi is not reliable, although Mrs. Wu did not punish Wu Chenghe, but secret hatred is inevitable.

Is it worth it?

In Wu Ning's view, the current situation is the weirdest.

Because there are no winners, no one gains.

So back to the question, who is the whistleblower? What exactly is his purpose?

Wu Ning really couldn't figure it out.

Either this person's purpose, Wu Ning couldn't guess.

Either that, he's a madman, a fool, or he's just for fun.

Of course, this is obviously unlikely.

Wu Ning faintly felt that on the surface, Wu Zetian, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Li Dan, and Li Chen were the enemies of the Wu family, but the person who told the secret behind his back was the real enemy of life and death!!

......

——————————

"What are you going to do now?"

Chen Ziang asked abruptly, breaking Wu Ning's thoughts.

"I can use my local fame in Shehong to say hello to you in the county office, saying that the Chen family has distant relatives who have come here to take refuge. Come to think of it, it's not difficult to get an identity. ”

"But you have to have a plan for yourself!"

Seeing that Wu Ning didn't take his words seriously, Chen Ziang said again: "I heard the old man of the Qin family say that you seem to have a good relationship with the Three Gorges Gang Platoon?" ”

"In my opinion, you can go to the platoon gang to hide for a while, and when the situation calms down, it will not be too late to leave the Three Gorges."

When Meng Cangsheng heard this, he agreed, "Yes! Poor Dao thinks so, too. In the land of Wushan, the government whip is out of reach, and it is the safest place to go. ”

"Hmm." Qin Wenyuan nodded, "I listened to what Li Ke said, you and the boss of the platoon gang are indistinguishable from each other, and this kind of relationship can be useful." ”

"Besides..."Qin Wen didn't say anything about the following words,

It means that according to your identity, even if you want to rebel, it is not impossible to have the backing of the 3,000 platoon gang.

“......”

At this time, everyone looked at Wu Ning with a sincere expression.

I just hope that he will listen to the persuasion and not make any rash decisions on the spur of the moment, just thinking about revenge.

saw Wu Ning slowly shaking his head and looking at everyone: "I won't go to the platoon gang, the pattern of the platoon gang is too small." ”

Burst!

Meng Cangsheng sprayed directly.

Two thousand miles of Yangtze River waterway, you still think the pattern is small?

When Qin Wenyuan heard this, he was also speechless, "Then what do you want?" Become an official with Bo Yu? Or do you want to keep going about your business and make a lot of money? ”

"Neither!"

Congwen, he and Meng Cangsheng have already said just now that one person is enough, and the best candidate is Wu Qi.

When Taiping and they came to Fangzhou, it happened that Wu Qi was not there. Except for Princess Taiping, no one has ever seen him, and it is safest for him to go to the capital to be an official.

And in business...... As I said, it's not a problem that money can solve.

"But...," Chen Ziang was entangled, "If you are not an official, you don't make money, and you don't rely on the platoon gang, how can you take revenge?" ”

“......”

Wu Ning was not in a hurry to answer him, but looked at the brothers.

"Along the way, I didn't say anything to you, and I didn't swear to cheer you up, so I let everyone carry the stones all the way."

"But today, I'm about to make a decision, a road that will lead me to revenge, a road that is destined to be difficult. Before I make this decision, I need to ask you one last question. ”

Everyone looked at Wu Ning, and their faces gradually became serious.

Wu Li squinted his eyes, "You ask!" ”

I heard Wu Ning say: "Are you really willing to do anything to take revenge?" ”

"I am really willing, I gambled my life, just so that the spiritual position of the ancestors of the Wu family can see the light of day again, can the soul of the Wu family be revealed?"

"Are you really willing, believe me, support me, and walk with me on a road to death?"

"Li Wenbo, Chef Luo, this is my Wu family's business, I'm sorry to have affected you. I can give you a lot of money to live in peace for the rest of your life. ”

"If you don't have such determination, you can take the money and go to live a peaceful life."

"But don't worry, your revenge, I, Wu Ning, will help you avenge it."

"Even so, are you two people with foreign surnames still willing to walk with me?"

"Meng Daoye!"

"Your master's expulsion of you from the master's door is a last resort, and I also know that you miss the master's door. Is it really worth it to betray my master and swear to be an enemy of the imperial power for the sake of my Wu family's hatred? ”

“......”

“......”

Everyone was silent, and they could see the seriousness and indomitable in Wu Ning's eyes.

Meng Daoye held the sword and smiled indifferently.

HUH!!

Draw your sword and hold it in your left hand.

"I, Meng Cangsheng, stand up to the sky, what the eldest husband says, smash the nails out, and say that I will help you avenge you!"

"From today onwards, there will be no more Meng Cangsheng, only the Left Sword Demon Dao!"

Raleigh picked up the kitchen knife he relied on for a living, "My Luo chef doesn't know how to use a sword, only a kitchen knife." If you can help my mother avenge me, I will follow you! ”

Li Wenbo also said: "Since the day I lived in the Xiashan Col, everyone has not treated me as an outsider, so why should Jiulang say these words today?" ”

......

Wu Li looked at Wu Ning, slowly stood up, and walked in front of Wu Ning.

"Sword Mountain and Sea of Fire, my eighth child follows you!"

Wu Qi, Wu Sanhu, Lao Qi and Lao Eleven also came to Wu Ning's side.

"We are brothers who share life and death, and when we die, we are still brothers!"

"Good!" Wu Ning nodded with satisfaction.

Stretch out your arms to the crowd and put them together, "Life and death together!" ”

Everyone echoed: "Life and death together!" ”

"Life and death!"

"Life and death together!!"

“......”

The last obstacle was gone, and Wu Ning smiled.

"In that case, let's do something that no one has ever done before!"

Suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Wenyuan: "Lord Yue, did you bring the things you brought from Fangzhou?" ”

"Hmm." Qin Wenyuan subconsciously responded, turned his head and wiped his tears.

He was moved, and sighed secretly: With such a group of brothers, what else can Wu Laojiu do?

"Brought it."

It's just that the old man didn't expect that he had never heard of what Wu Ning was going to do, let alone whether he could do it.

......

asked people to carry things up, but Wu Ning saw it and made a play.

Looking at the old man like a monster, "You old man.... Didn't take it apart and take a look? ”

Qin Wenyuan was quite strange, "What is there to see?" ”

Well, Wu Ning is also convinced, ten boxes, the seal has not been moved, this old man is also enough to have character.

Instructed Wu Li, "Open it!" ”

As a result, Wu Laoba tore off the seal and lifted the box, not to mention Qin Wenyuan, even Chen Ziang's eyes were straight.

"You.... Where did you get so much gold!? ”

Ten large chests, full of gold.

"Find the tax money for the state order."

Wu Ning looked at so much gold and was also amazed, "The money from the sale of the charcoal kiln is 50,000 yuan!" ”

Good boy!

Qin Wenyuan also shared more than 10,000 yuan of the money from the sale of the charcoal kiln. However, most of the money given to him by the imperial court was copper coins, and there was some gold left, but most of them were silver. It's like Wu Ning, a water of gold, and people who flash can't open their eyes.

"What are you going to do??"

Qin Wenyuan let his imagination fly, "If you don't use this money to do business, you won't be recruiting troops and horses, right?" ”

"Again?"

Wu Ning sneered, in a peaceful and prosperous world, the serious Prince Li couldn't turn back, he still wanted to rebel against a wild one? What about dreams, right?

He spoke slowly: "Don't do business, don't be an official, don't rebel, and don't go to the Gang Arrangement." None of this will help me get revenge! ”

"I'm going to use this money...... Create a river and lake! ”

"A real Jianghu!"

“......”

“......”

“......”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

"Jiang, Jianghu??"

"What???"

Even Meng Daoye was stunned.

"What rivers and lakes?"

I heard Wu Ning say: "Don't you want to be a chivalrous man?" Isn't it yearning for the rivers and lakes? Then I will create a river and lake for you, a river and lake that you have never seen before!! ”

A real real ....

is like Jin Yong's chivalrous rivers and lakes!!

......

——————————

That's right, it's Jianghu!

These days, Wu Ning has been thinking about how to get revenge?

Don't forget, he is also burdened with the mystery of the murder of his mother sixteen years ago. This means that his enemies, his enemies, must be at least at the level of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, and may even include Wu Zetian.

Such an enemy let Wu Ning become an official and go to the court? Let him go into business and become rich in the world? Let him raise the anti-flag, and revolutionize the fate of heaven?

Neither!

However, how can you have your own strength to compete with such an enemy? How do you build up and hit before they notice you?

So, Wu Laojiu thought of Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and the order they created in it.

The martial arts world that is free from the king's law and happy to revenge!!

......

Of course, the term "rivers and lakes" has been around for a long time, and Datang has become a ranger, and righteous men have emerged.

Ranger and green forests barely constitute the rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty.

However, that is not the real Jianghu.

The rangers are still flaunting the ancient style and are free and loose.

The green forest is not called the green forest, it is the robber king who occupies the mountain and is the king.

There are no rules in the rivers and lakes, and there is no order in martial arts.

There are indeed people in Qingcheng, Wudang, Emei, and Shaolin who practice martial arts, which is also the original inspiration and prototype of Old Man Jin's pen.

However, there is no sectarian view, and the rules are said.

Wu Ning thought, Old Man Jin can make the real thing rich and colorful, and write it as fake, so can I make the fake real one?

In Datang, in this world where there is no concept of rivers and lakes, create a real rivers and lakes!?

As he and Meng Cangsheng said, "The pattern of a platoon gang is too small. ”

Even if there are 2,000 miles of Yangtze River waterway, it is just a group of river bandits on the bank of the Yangtze River.

But what if it's the entire Yangtze River?

What if it is a martial arts formed by the world's green forest heroes and famous mountain sects?

If this martial arts and this rivers and lakes are in the hands of Wu Ning......

Then revenge, shouldn't it be empty talk?

"I want to use these 50,000 to create a river and lake! Create it, take it, use it for me. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Feed.... Feed!

Are you a fairy or a monster?

The traverser is amazing, isn't it?

No one said that they wanted to build a river and lake!?

......
