After Yang Zongyang returned to Yang's house, he locked himself in the study and saw no one, he didn't eat dinner, the lights in the house were on all night, and no one knew what kind of struggle he had experienced in his heart this night, and what kind of fear and hesitation he had experienced.

He was faced with a choice.

One seems silly, but it also seems to be the only way out, and the other is not difficult, which is to do nothing.

And if you don't do anything, the current emperor Li Chengtang will not think about the Yang family until he dies, because he doesn't do anything, even if the future prince ascends the throne, he will not give the Yang family any more opportunities, and the prince still needs the Yang family to help at that time? The current Yang family has fallen into such a situation, and the future prince will not need it.

If it is done, the Yang family may soon fall into a catastrophe, once the emperor finds out what the Yang family will face annihilation, the emperor seems to have forgotten the Yang family, just because the queen has not been gone long after all, and will deal with the Yang family immediately, and there will be many people who say that the emperor is thin and cold.

Wealth and danger are sought.

If you can help the crown prince do things well and let Li Chengtang get off the throne as soon as possible, then the Yang family will have a bright future.

The key is that even if the Yang family doesn't do anything, once Li Chengtang comes to his senses, he may not be able to take the Yang family.

Either silently decline until it dies, or fight for it.

At dawn, Yang Zongyang opened the door of the study, and it seemed that the whole person seemed to be twenty years old overnight, and his temples turned white, and the old and young people of the Yang family clan who had been standing in the courtyard and had also waited all night watched him come out, although he was tired and sleepy, but everyone's eyes were full of expectation.

"We have a 1 percent chance of rising, and a 99 percent chance of perishing."

Yang Zongyang glanced at everyone: "Although I am the head of the family elected by you, I can't decide the survival of the entire clan in one word, I hope each of you can seriously consider it, no matter what choice you make, we will take the majority as the standard, and no one can leak the news out of the slightest, if I know who said something to the outside world, hundreds of people in the Yang family will die, so it can only be the one who says something from you who dies first." ”

Everyone held their breath.

Yang Zongyang was silent for a moment, and told the prince's plan, and the audience immediately fell silent.

"Our chances of success are too slim."

Someone said: "The power of the Liuyun Society is huge, and Ye Liuyun is the person the emperor cares about, once there is a little accident, we don't even have a chance to resist, although the prince said that he would send someone over, but the person sent may not really think about us." ”

"Yes, if we lose, we won't be able to recover."

Yang Zongyang shook his head: "You are wrong, we lose not in case, we should say in case we win." ”

The crowd fell silent again.

"But if we remain silent like this, maybe we will be wiped out before the prince ascends to the pole."

"yes...... The crown prince is the only hope for our Yang family. ”

Yang Zongyang looked at the clansmen who were talking about it, and after waiting for a while, he said: "Make a choice, those who are willing to accept the prince's conditions go to the left, and those who are willing to maintain the status quo go to the right." ”

With that, he walked down the steps and stood on the left.

The people in the courtyard all looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and after a long time, the first person walked to the right, it was an old man, and as soon as he said something, several people followed him to the right.

After a while, a young man strode up to Yang Zongyang and stopped, looked at everyone and said, "I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life, I'm willing to fight." ”

"Yes!"

Another person also walked to the left: "Fight to win, there is a place in Daning that belongs to the Yang family." ”

The crowd began to get confused, some people went to the left and some to the right, and after about half a pillar of incense, the crowd was completely separated.

"I'll count the numbers."

Yang Zongyang began to count seriously, and his face was a little ugly after counting.

"One more person on the left."

His face was ugly, because he found that there were so many people who were unwilling to fight and just wanted to continue to live like this, and he thought that more people would choose to stand on his side after he took the first step, but now it seems that he still underestimated the fear and confusion in people's hearts.

"They're all old people over there."

A young man on the left shook his head: "They are scared and accept their fate, but I don't accept my fate, and I can't accept that my life is at the mercy of others." ”

Yang Zongyang nodded: "Although there is only one more person on the left, but still according to the rules we said, the choice of the majority shall prevail, and the person who goes to the right I respect your choice, and I will not embarrass you to do anything, from today onwards, if you are willing to stay here, then keep silent, don't interfere, don't leak secrets, if you don't want to stay here, I will distribute the property and find a way to safely escort you back to your hometown in Pingye." ”

After finishing speaking, a few more people on the right came over: "Anyway, it's all going to die, why don't you fight." ”

"yes, isn't it a big deal to die? If it goes on like this, it will be more uncomfortable, and life is better than death. ”

Yang Zongyang raised his head and looked at the Bailin sword inserted in the door, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of fierceness: "When Li Chengtang is dead, I will definitely make Concubine Zhen kneel." ”

He took a deep breath: "Yang Dongyuan, you are responsible for combing through the people on our dark line in Chang'an City again, to see how many people are still available, how many savings are available, and the broken line of business can be connected to see if it can be connected." ”

His brother Yang Dongyuan lowered his head: "I'll do it immediately." ”

"Yang Shengchun, you take a few people out of Chang'an, sort out our business in Gyeonggi Province, there are a few dart bureaus and pawnshops that are still in business, see if we can contact more Jianghu customers, we are not short of money, we can buy lives without lack of money."

"Yes."

Yang Shengchun clenched his fists.

Yang Zongyang looked at everyone: "I will go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, the life and death of the family will all depend on you, assign manpower, send all the children and old people under the age of twelve out of the city, leave in batches, try to be as secretive as possible, children between the ages of twelve and sixteen will be sent to Fangcheng County, there is a trading house I run over there, and these children will stay there for training." ”

He clenched his fists and bowed: "Survival, in one move." ”

The cold General's Mansion.

Ye Liuyun took a sip of tea and looked at Shen Leng who was sitting next to him: "Stupid or not?" Your Majesty told you to think about it behind closed doors, but you went out once or twice, do you think you are special enough to resist the Holy Decree? ”

Shen Leng accompanied the smiling face: "I was wrong, I knew I was wrong." ”

Ye Liuyun snorted, and looked at Chen Ran who was lying on the bed again: "You two are stupid, Your Majesty doesn't allow him to go out, so what's wrong with taking you to the General's Mansion?" ”

Chen Ran: "I didn't expect ......"

Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Recently, you are all honest, if you don't deal with the affairs in Chang'an City, no one will deal with them?" A bunch of jumping clowns...... Yesterday, the people of the Liuyun Society found a group of people in the treasury of Xishi, killed more than a dozen, arrested more than a dozen, and sent them to the Tingwei Mansion. ”

Shen Leng: "I promise not to step out of this door from today." ”

"Hmm."

Ye Liuyun's expression became less serious: "Don't go cook yet?" ”

Shen Leng: "......"

Ye Liuyun said: "Do more, I made an appointment with the old dean and Han Zhaozhi, and said that I would invite them to dinner tonight." ”

Shen Leng: "Mr. Ye invited the two of them to dinner, choose to be at my house?" ”

Ye Liuyun: "Is there any problem?" ”

Shen Leng: "No! ”

He got up and ordered people to buy vegetables, took a pen and wrote a menu, and handed it to his soldiers: "Go buy it according to this." ”

The soldiers took it and looked at it, their faces sad.

Shen Leng: "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to reply: "General! I don't understand! ”

Shen Leng: "......"

In the room, Ye Liuyun looked at Chen Ran: "I have something to let you know, there were some Bohai people in your house last night, but Gao Xiaoxiang on the side of the Tianqiao has already arranged someone to protect him, the old man has nothing to do, and he doesn't know what happened, Gao Xiaoxiang's people will stay there to protect the old man until this matter is over." ”

Chen Ran was obviously startled, and when he thought about it, Ye Liuyun shook his head at him: "Do you not believe in the sky ticket number or do you not believe in Liuyun Hui?" I've arranged for the white to be killed, and he'll be watching over there all the time. ”

Shen Leng entered the door: "Call Meng Changan in the evening." ”

Ye Liuyun said: "Not only that, I have already arranged for someone to go to General Meng's mansion, and I will bring General Meng's two wives and children to your house." ”

Shen Leng: "You still said that you don't need to make a noise." ”

Ye Liuyun glanced at him: "Prevention is just the only way to prevent trouble." ”

Shen sneered: "It's okay, they all live with me, and I can't go out anyway." ”

At this time, the pro-soldier who had just gone out to buy vegetables came back, and this pro-soldier also followed Shen Leng from the beginning of the formation of the water division, surnamed Peng, the one who set up a fish banquet at home, Peng Pengyu, and now he is the deputy of Shen Leng's pro-soldier team.

"General, General."

Peng Pengyu ran back: "I just didn't go far when I saw someone selling, guess what it was selling." ”

Shen Leng: "Fish seller." ”

Peng Pengyu was stunned: "How did the general know." ”

Shen Leng: "How do I know how do I know...... Say it casually. ”

Peng Pengyu said excitedly: "The general hasn't eaten a crocodile for a long time, right?" I just saw someone actually selling live crocodiles, saying that they were caught from the river outside Chang'an City, and I don't know how to catch them in such a cold weather, do you want to buy one back? ”

Shen Leng: "Buy!" ”

Ye Liuyun listened fresh: "Is it delicious?" ”

Chen Ran said faintly beside him: "Put aside the delicious or not, when I hear the word crocodile, I can't help but remember that when I was in the sailor, Leng Zi said to take us to catch fish......"

Shen Leng: "Didn't I teach you how to deal with it when I went?" What's so scary about that thing, besides, I've even taught you how to get out of a crocodile's bite. ”

Ye Liuyun was even more curious: "How to get out?" ”

Shen Leng: "I'm going to prepare to cook......"

After saying that, he left.

Ye Liuyun looked at Chen Ran, Chen Ran sighed: "On the way there, he told me that after a crocodile bites its prey, it will generally rotate its body rapidly to kill the prey, he said that if I am accidentally bitten, remember to follow the crocodile to turn together, as long as the speed of the crocodile is as fast as the crocodile, it will be fine, if it is faster than the crocodile, it may not turn the crocodile around." ”

Ye Liuyun paused for a moment: "Really? ”

Then the face blushed.

Chen Ran sighed: "The most shameless thing is that he said that he could turn around first when the crocodile was unresponsive and scare the crocodile." ”
