Chapter 249: Fear 5
And in the other house where the sky was gradually whitening, Lin Yan had just woken up from a pile of white flowers, and looked at the carved sorghum of people and birds painted in the sky in a daze. After this step, there is no turning back.
Therefore, in these nights of sleepless tossing and turning, for fear that when he woke up, he would see the days and nights when the Yellow King sent to arrest his soldiers, he was extremely absurd to anesthetize himself with female sex and alcoholism.
"Is Lin Lang still worried?"
At this time, a pair of lotus arms surrounded him from behind again, but Lin Yan looked at this charming and enchanting woman with an extremely complicated mood, and it was difficult to hide the heavy mood of love and hate. It can be said that the truth of red face and bad water has been fully confirmed in her.
For Lin Yan, it is the so-called one wrong step, one wrong step, regretting that he should not have been obsessed with the ghost and greedily accepted this woman who claimed to be from a famous family; Then the inexplicable ghost made the god send the next step to become the internal response and helper of the court.
Her name is Ka Sanniang, her maiden name is Fu'er, in fact, she is the daughter-in-law of a former sea merchant who has a close relationship with the Guangzhou Governor's Office, and her mother's family is the daughter of the former generation of eunuchs who degraded Lingnan, and the descendants of the naturalized Li Mo who served as the secretary and supervisor and the history of the governor of the state;
Although he looked cold and arrogant at the beginning, he conquered Lin Yan's heart as soon as he met. But after being forcibly occupied by him by unscrupulous means, it turned into a heart full of steel and a soft love affair.
Because, this woman is so interesting and caring, like a limb on his body, which is so satisfying that he quickly gave up lingering on other women in a short period of time, and spoiled her. Then he found that this woman, in addition to being empathetic, was also very useful in her mind and scheming.
Not only can he be relieved and comforted from time to time and cheer up again, but he can also provide him with some just right insights in a timely manner, and some inexplicable confusions and doubts of the staff officers.
For example, taking advantage of her dissatisfaction with some of Meng Kai's rough and harsh measures to win over those middle-level rebel generals stationed in the city, while privately selling favors and forming countermeasures with all parties in the city, is also her idea and suggestion, at least for now, it seems to be working very well.
Therefore, he, who had always been poor and frightened and did not easily trust others, was also very moved by this woman and gave birth to some compensatory psychology, and decided to do something for her or leave some evidence that would be enough to hold on to him in the future;
At this time, with the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army near Xiangyang City, the news that there is not one in ten has reached Guangzhou; This is also the beginning and root of his determination to break the taboo and the bottom line, and try to secretly contact some people with court backgrounds in private.
But the first reason and trigger was that he boasted to the woman after a hearty drunkenness that he could do his best to make up for and meet all her needs; But he didn't want a woman to be unhappy and worried, and a tearful sentence made him completely speechless.
"I'm a famous eunuch, can you give me a dignified edict."
Therefore, after some intermittent back-and-forth see-saw negotiations; In the end, he secretly accepted the edict from the secret envoy of the imperial court, and was enshrined as the Assassin of Guangzhou and the Ancestral Hall, and was determined to pull more people into the water. Now the seven lieutenants of the rebel army stationed in the city were all bribed and co-opted by him;
The remaining two are Meng Xin, a clansman and personal general of Meng Wei, and the other is Cheng Da, the commander brought out by the virtual monk from the angry wind camp, both of whom do not enter the oil and salt and do not rub the sand in their eyes;
After all, the military power and the force of the barrier that he can control in his hands are too weak, and just relying on the identity of a nephew of the "Eight Sons of the Yellow Gate" to accompany the last position, he can't be compared with a cronie general like Meng Kai who followed the birth and death of King Huang very early, but he has to be overwhelmed in everything in his daily life;
To say, there was originally a virtual monk who was still shallow but very capable, who could be in the middle to help and reconcile one or two in daily affairs. But once he led the troops out and lost the buffer and bridging of this one, Meng Wei became more and more unpretentious and dissatisfied with him, and there were many harsh words; even scolded him in public several times for his negligence and mistakes, which made him embarrassed that he could not get off the stage in public and could only spit on himself.
Therefore, the only way to get out of the predicament now is to win over this virtual monk who had a fairly acceptable relationship in the past, and use it as foreign aid and help to contain one or two. At least the other party is also within the scope of what the imperial court wants to recruit; and acted very differently from most of the rebels in his daily life, and even under his command there were rumors and comments that "he acted more like an official army than an official army".
And according to his conception and expectations, as long as the two can join forces to control the situation in Guangzhou City, Meng Kai, who is leading the army, will become a rootless tree and a sourceless water, which is not a difficult target to deal with and dissolve. After all, the families and relatives of those righteous soldiers, as well as their personal property and private savings, are still in the city of Guangzhou.
As for the longer term, he really didn't think much about it;
Because he faintly had a feeling that perhaps after the Northern Expedition, most of the rebel army, including the Yellow King, would never have a chance to come back. It was Meng Kaicai, who was the left-behind envoy, who was a little unscrupulous and exhausted, and even the foundation and situation outside the mountains that had begun to take shape were no longer able to take care of the basic means of maintenance.
However, he has become accustomed to and adapted to the prosperity and luxury of Canton, and he is really inseparable from all these comfortable and comfortable material comforts; The thought of returning to the life of the rebels, who were scattered and covered in dust and mud and suffered hardships, made him feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
For this reason, he even prepared hundreds of death-defying people in this mansion; Of course, it wasn't to deal with the "virtual monk" who was invited. He thinks that he does not have enough confidence and preparation to deal with the revenge and liquidation of those elite athletes under his command who have pacified Annan;
It's just a kind of luck mentality just in case the fish dies and the net is broken, and when things are not harmonious, or after turning his face and becoming an enemy, he can protect himself and escape in one breath, or take advantage of the chaos to hide.
After dawn, the news and responses received from all sides of the city seemed to confirm his luck and expectations. There was no sign of mobilization and assembly under the command of any virtual monk, but Chai Ping, who was born in the Young Rebel Army, was sent out of the city along with some of the men.
For him, the best result is that after being able to send this thing out at the banquet, the other party did not have a seizure on the spot, and there was no reaction afterwards. Since he did not express his position and make a difference at the first time, the other party still hesitated and waited and waited.
The days that followed were as if nothing had happened, and everything went on as usual; Even the opponent's points against the five patrol teams were the result of heavy thunder and small rainfall;
Except for the few who were punished for not arriving by the deadline, everyone else survived the points without any danger; No one was punished for this and nothing was investigated, and even Lin Yan's cronies and other hands planted in it were not adjusted or touched in any way.
Of course, as an inevitable process, they had to be retrained and organized on the spot for a period of time under the supervision of the Sanjiang Army brought by the virtual monk, before they could continue to perform their duties. During this period, their duties could only be assumed by the three new battalions of the Sanjiang Army entering the city;
The chaos in the city was once again cleaned up and rectified in a killing manner, and hundreds of human heads were cut down in public at the street corners and hung on the city walls; The city fox community rats that roamed the streets and alleys also disappeared one after another, either shivering and hiding at home, pretending to be a good person, or contributing a lot of fresh labor to the sand digging field in the river outside the city.
At the beginning, several grain merchants who took the opportunity to hoard Juqi were also raided on the charge of "disregard for the people's livelihood", and dragged to the school field in front of the government to go to the public trial and then be sentenced.
But these things that are not itchy or painful for Lin Yan are not worth mentioning at all. So, he felt as if he could take things to the next step.
