In the best area of Xiangyang City, there is a large courtyard, with a chain of splendid houses, pavilions and plank roads, and two gilded characters on the plaque in the middle of the gate of the four openings: Chen Mansion.

There is a saying in Xiangyang: It is better to be beaten by the government than by the Yang knife.

As the literal meaning is, there is still a chance to survive if you bear the stick of the government office, if you offend the Yang Mansion, under the knife of the Fish Dragon Society, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

In the city of Xiangyang, I only know that the fish and dragon will be Chen Yang, but I don't know the prefect.

However, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

No one thought about it, and no one dared to go to Lin'an to sue the emperor, and those who had done so had already died on the way to Lin'an, throwing corpses in the barren mountains and mountains.

Chen Fu is the lord of this Xiangyang.

And Chen Yang, the owner of the Chen Mansion, is the king of Xiangyang.

At this moment, the king of Xiangyang was eating breakfast slowly, with a row of maids standing behind him, and an old scholar with a withered face standing at the door, holding a palm-sized abacus in his hand, waiting for Chen Yang quietly.

Everyone in the Chen Mansion knows that when Chen Yang is eating, he must not be disturbed, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Chen Yang is forty-four, with a square face and a tall figure, and he is quite righteous in his speech and demeanor, no one who sees him at first sight will associate such a righteous person with the king of the underground of Xiangyang.

No one dared to disturb Chen Yang, but Chen Yang took the initiative to mention it: "That woman and Rouge Willow are mixed together?" ”

The old scholar nodded, "I stayed in Liufu last night, and I went out of the city with Rouge Willow early this morning to play in the mountains and rivers." ”

Chen Yang sighed, "The sky is dry and yellow, and the spring brought by that gust of spring breeze has long disappeared without a trace, and you can enjoy the mountains and rivers?" I see, they are all ill-intentioned and plotted. ”

The old scholar panicked.

Chen Yang drank a few sips of Sydney deep ginseng bamboo soup, and put down the bowl in a good time, "What about that noodle?" ”

The old scholar's face was a little solemn, "That young man was invited by the prefect Cui Sheng last night, but he has been in Cui Mansion today, and he has no intention of leaving Xiangyang." ”

Chen Yang was surprised, "Cui Sheng?!" ”

The old scholar smiled bitterly, "In this way, the young man and the woman are not small, maybe they are really legendary-"

Chen Yang glanced at the old scholar, "Talky!" ”

The old scholar was startled, panicked and silenced, the hand holding the small abacus kept trembling, for Chen Yang, this old scholar was afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Yang wiped his mouth, got up, and said as he walked out: "Let people keep an eye on the movements of these two people, and in addition, pay attention to Rouge Liu and Cui Sheng, don't let them ruin my good deeds." ”

The old scholar left in a panic as if he had been granted amnesty.

Chen Yang snorted coldly, walked around the rockery pavilion alone, came to a deep courtyard, pushed open the door and closed the door, walked to the front of the steps, looking at the old man sitting in the main hall, Chen Yang slowly knelt down.

"Grandpa, you joined the army at the age of fourteen, and at the age of sixteen you made great contributions in Xiangyang City, which is the luck of my Chen family, but it is also the sorrow of my Chen family, with your merits, my Chen family has become a Xiangyang family, but because of your merits, the Chen family was deliberately suppressed by the imperial court in the early years, which of your children got a good death?"

"No matter who it is, no matter how talented it is, as long as you go out of Xiangyang City to go out of town, you will inevitably die unexpectedly, I have long understood this truth over the years, you see, we don't live well in Xiangyang City?"

"But half a month ago, your old comrade-in-arms left, and the old soldier who defended Xiangyang City back then was the only one left, waiting for you to go, our Chen family, it is inevitable that we will be liquidated by the Zhao family."

The old man in the middle hall didn't speak, just sat quietly.

Chen Yang slowly stood up, "So what...... Since sooner or later it will be a dead end, why can't I struggle, now that the opportunity has come, as long as I can get that woman, I will have the confidence to talk to the empress about the conditions. ”

From beginning to end, Chen Yang only used you, not the honorific title that the younger generation should have.

Chen Yang turned around and walked to the courtyard gate, "Take 10,000 steps back, the empress doesn't care about that woman, it's okay, I will take her to Shuzhong, presumably Zhao Changyi, the king of Shu who is a good wife, will be happy." ”

Give the woman to Zhao Changyi, on the way, you can enjoy it yourself without being noticed by her.

Aphrodisiac? Drugged?

I'm more!

I, Chen Yang, am not a good person in the first place.

Chen Yang walked out of the courtyard, the gate slowly closed, the courtyard was cloudy and windy, and there was no sound from beginning to end, as if it was a ghost house, which made people feel cold all over the body.

At the door, Chen Yang nodded in the shadow of the bamboo forest, "But if you come close to disturb the old man, you will not be forgiven!" ”

In the bamboo forest, there was a sudden killing, and the sword intent was bursting, like a dragon groaning.

Dead leaves flying.

……

……

The most difficult person is Chen Yang, after learning some news from Cui Sheng's mouth, Li Ruyu already has a plan in his heart.

Chop the snake seven inches.

Just like the Zhong'an Hall back then, as soon as the gentleman's flag fell, the Zhong'an Hall fell apart.

The government must know this.

It's just that you can't directly attack Chen Yang, you can kill Chen Yang, but you must not be a person from the government, or in other words, even if you are a person from the government, you also need a person who can definitely convince the soldiers of the world that Chen Yang has a reason to die.

The Da Liang soldiers can't be thought of as Chen Yang who was deliberately killed by the imperial court.

If you let the Da Liang soldiers know that the imperial court killed the descendants of the old soldiers in Xiangyang, what do you make those soldiers who fought bloodily think, and tell them that Chen Yang is to blame for his many evils?

Probably no one believed it.

In fact, in the final analysis, today's predicament is still the unwillingness of the descendants of Chen Yang and other veterans to sink, if they accept the reality and behave in a down-to-earth manner, in today's situation of both civil and military, who will care about the past of their parents.

It's just that they are used to doing evil, and they are unwilling to give up this way of life of easily accumulating wealth.

That's why there is a saying that you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha.

But Li Ruyu disagrees with this statement very much, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, what about the people who have been hurt by them, how innocent they are.

And Chen Yang's Fish and Dragon Club does its own thing, and has no intention of abandoning evil and returning to righteousness.

This is probably what is called death.

Li Ruyu wanted to talk to Chen Yang, if he couldn't help Dao Ge to smooth down the chaos in Xiangyang, it would be the best, and maybe even let hundreds of more soldiers in Yuzhou be able to benefit the people.

But beware of Chen Yanggou jumping off the wall in a hurry.

Li Ruyu first asked Cui Sheng, Xiangyang Mansion is the Luzhi of Jingnan Road, so what do those bigwigs such as pacification envoys, Xuanfu envoys, and defense envoys think of the Xiangyang chaos.

The answer he got made Li Ruyu's head big for a while: the pacification envoy was suspended in the air, the Xuanfu envoy was Chen Yang's father's fellow Jinshi, and the defense envoy and others had long been bribed, and they were in the same place as the Fish Dragon Society.

In other words, the only official power that he can use is Xiangyang Mansion, which is subordinate to the Beizhen Fusi of Zhongwei No. 2.

The soldiers in Fuzhi and Luzhi did not dare to hope extravagantly.

As Luzhi and Fucheng, the strength of the two Zhongwei Institutes of the Fusi of Beizhen is really not weak, in addition to one deputy thousand households, there are still two hundred households, and fifty people.

However, Li Ruyu almost couldn't enter the yamen of the Second Zhongwei Institute.

The embroidered spring knife and waist card were sold as early as Kaifeng, but fortunately, after the deputy Qianhu heard the report of Tiqi, he came out in the spirit of preferring to have many things to do not miss, and after seeing Li Ruyu himself, he was secretly lucky.

Who doesn't know that Li Ruyu is the sword of the empress, and Zhao Xin, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, does not dare to snub this young man.

What's more, he is a deputy thousand households.

After staying for half an hour in the Zhongwei Second Institute of Fusi in Beizhen, Li Ruyu felt a little heavy after going out.

It's not that it's heavier than Chen Yang, but I think of Liu Xiangyang.

At the Changban Bridge in Jiangqiu, Xu Xiaolan and Lao Tie had an equal match, and then rode a donkey to Shuzhong, and after seeing Su Hanlou, he drew his sword and slashed the thunder thirteen and died, and after Liu Xiangyang lost to himself, he quickly returned to Liuzhou with a knife, first killed Xu Qiuya's pair of adulterers, and then went to Xiangyang Mansion, and after the killing, he waited for death on the top of the tall building.

Death to the sun.

This is a manly husband, if he could, Li Ruyu really wanted that there was no battle of Nagasaka Bridge back then.

Gathering his mind, Li Ruyu followed the route said by the deputy Qianhu and went to Chen Yang's mansion.

Wanted to talk to him.

Standing in front of that mansion, Li Ruyu was a little shocked in his heart, he was also the leader of the underground forces, Chen Yang's Yang Mansion was a world of difference compared to the Mansion of Junzi Qi on Banbianqiao Street in Huilong County.

It didn't lose much to those palaces in Lin'an.

Li Ruyu was about to knock on the door.

But I saw a withered old scholar hurriedly come out of the side door, holding a small abacus the size of a palm in his hand, came to Li Ruyu and stretched out his hand sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "There is a long way to welcome, please." ”

Li Ruyu laughed.

is worthy of being the king of the underground in Xiangyang, and his feelings have long been under his surveillance.

Not afraid, Saber walked into Yang's Mansion, and under the guidance of the old scholar, he came to a side courtyard where no one was around, and there was a tall young man with a square face in the courtyard, who was feeding fish by the pool in the side courtyard.

A pool of koi fish, tumbling with feeding, densely packed with thousands of tails.

This pond of koi fish alone has to be a thousand pairs, the king of the underground in Xiangyang, the people fat and ointment that have been looted over the years are really shocking, and this pool of koi is just the tip of the iceberg.

Li Ruyu didn't care about Chen Yang's neglect.

walked to the edge of the pool, watched the swimming fish roll, and said quietly: "Chen Dalongtou knows that I-"

Chen Yang waved his hand, stopped Li Ruyu, glanced at the old scholar, and only when there was no one in the side courtyard did he laugh vaguely, "Li Ruyu, the sword of the empress, the hundred households of the Fusi of Beizhen, is now the deputy lieutenant of Liupin Zhenwei, and the Liupin Chao Fenglang, will go to Yuzhou to serve as the deputy general." ”

He also said meaningfully: "The thunder does not die, Lin'an City broke the city tower with a sword and killed the Qianwang Zhao Li, Guanyucheng fought the White Tiger God General Zhao Sa, Kaifeng outside the city to fight the new king Yue Dan of the Yue family, the top of Lanshan stepped into the world to sword immortals, the sage temple shook the green clouds, and the sword in his hand turned into purple electricity to cut the stranger. ”

After a pause, "I didn't miss anything, right?" ”

Li Ruyu was silent, and suddenly found that he had a feeling of being looked at, why did Chen Yang know himself so well?

Chen Yang continued: "You should have had lunch in Xiangyang City, and then continue to go west with that woman to Yuzhou to take up your post, why did you stay, and why did you come to me today?" ”

Li Ruyu thought for a while, "I want to talk to you." ”

Chen Yang sighed, picked up the fish food in his hand and threw it into the pool, and saw the swimming fish rolling, rolling up waves in the crackling sound, red, yellow, green and blue mixed together, colorful and extremely pleasing to the eye, and smiled, "What is there to talk about, the Tao is different." ”

Li Ruyu sighed, "Really? ”

Chen Yang turned to look at Li Ruyu, "Isn't it?" ”

Li Ruyu shook his head, "Chen Dalongtou can sit on such a net worth, he is not a dull person, can't he see the current situation, today's scenery is actually exhausted." ”

Chen Yang laughed, "The mountains and rivers are exhausted?!" Wouldn't it be bright? ”

Li Ruyu shook his head, "No possibility!" ”

Your opponent is not the people of Xiangyang, but the Daliang Imperial Court, the Empress of the Ages, as long as she wants to, even if you Chen Yang are the king, there is no possibility of bright flowers.

Even if your grandfather doesn't die, as long as Zhao Changyi and Wang Kun die, then the world will be sealed, and who cares about the descendants of an old man in Xiangyang.

The reason why I didn't move you is because of the impending war.

Chen Yang was silent for a long time before he said: "I have to admit that you are a person who really impresses me Chen Yang." ”

Li Ruyu smiled but did not speak.

Chen Yang's words changed, "But you don't have to worry about my business." ”

Li Ruyu laughed, "I can save you." ”

Chen Yang sighed, "Just by you, can you go against the will of the empress?" ”

Li Ruyu thought about it, and there was no certainty of going against the will of the empress, so he said: "But you have another way to choose, take your people from the Fish Dragon Club, follow me to Yuzhou to join the army, and make up for your merits!" ”

Chen Yang smiled a little sarcastically, and casually threw the remaining fish food into the pool, "This is what you want to talk to me about?" ”

There is murderous intent.

Li Ruyu was shocked, he wanted to do it?

But don't be afraid.

Looking at the thousands of koi fish in the pool lightly, "Ichthyosaurs will be mixed, the reason why I am willing to listen to your name is just to seek profit, just like this pool of koi, if one day you can't protect yourself, who will come to this pool of koi, and you know that your grandfather is in the last years of the wind and candles, and that day will not be too long." ”

Chen Yang smiled but said nothing.

I have already decided on some things, and I know where my way out is, how can I, Chen Yang, be short-sighted and only fall on the miscellaneous fish in Xiangyang?

I'm the dragon in the Ichthyosaur Club!

I, Chen Yang, want to live, who in the world can kill me, even if it is thunder in the sky, they can't split me.

Not to mention the empress!

stared at Li Ruyu fixedly, grinning, "If this is what you want to talk to me, please go back, I'd rather talk to Princess Su." ”

Li Ruyu sighed secretly, "It's a sincere move to talk to you today, since you don't accept it, then that's it, but I will talk to you again, I hope there is no day, if there is a day, I can only ......"

Talk with a sword.

Li Ruyu turned around and went out.

It is not difficult to kill Chen Yang, his current kendo is enough, but he can't kill him directly, there has to be a reason.

Chen Yang looked at Li Ruyu's back, and suddenly laughed, his smile was very tired, his voice was low, and he was full of unspeakable hatred, "Actually, I also want to talk, sit down and talk about this world on an equal footing." ”

I want to ask the Da Liang Zhao room, why the old man in Xiangyang did not die well.

I want to ask the Empress of Da Liang, why did I have to bear the mistakes made by the Da Liang Zhao Room.

Li Ruyu wanted to talk to me with a sword.

And I, Chen Yang, have no sword.

But we still have to talk to the world.

Talk with the soldiers of the Western Army.
