Tang Jingtian nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, although the flood control in the South China Sea is very arduous, but this matter can only be achieved within the time limit, and failure must not be allowed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it succeeds, it will bring us great benefits." ”

"It's just that I'm still a little worried that the identity conversion of so many children is still a big problem, they have always been local household registrations in Yunnan, and you have recruited so many Yunnan soldiers at once, which is really a bit unreasonable!"

Li Yi nodded and smiled: "Brother Tang, don't worry, I will ask the imperial court for most of the manpower, and I will not draw too many manpower from the secret camp." In my calculations, a dozen people are enough. ”

"Huh! If He Shoujie, Tong Gui, and Gao Chang hadn't brought all my personal soldiers to Chaozhou, I'm afraid I wouldn't need to come to the secret camp to ask for someone, after all, there are still too few cronies around me, so I can only come to the secret camp to make a fortune. ”

Tang Jingtian said with a smile: "It seems that the handsome man has nothing to do, he can only think of these children in our secret camp, hehe!" Yes! With your current status, even if you have a personal soldier, it will be redundant, and if you can really make the trip, you can only recruit people temporarily. ”

"In my opinion, the current financial resources of the imperial court are stretched, and I am afraid that it will not be of great help to you, and in the end, we will have to figure out our own way. This time we go to the South China Sea, no matter what, we must bring enough manpower, there is a lot of chaos there, anything can happen, we better be careful. If you don't object, I'll go with you. ”

Li Yi shook his head slightly and said, "That's not necessary, you brothers have more important things to do, how can the secret camp leave you!" But you're right, if it's finally decided to let me go, I still need to bargain with the emperor. I can see that he trusts me now, and if I don't take the opportunity to ask for some power, then what's the point of doing this job! ”

Tang Jingtian said: "Hmm! You are very right in this way, if you don't take advantage of the chaos, won't you live up to this great opportunity? In any case, the imperial court also knows the current chaos in the South China Sea, and will never let you go empty-handed, but I am afraid that the power given to you is a big deal, and it is impossible for people to do what you want, it is only right to bring more of our own people, otherwise, the brothers will not worry! ”

Li Yi smiled indifferently: "With the emperor's trust in me, it is known both inside and outside the court, this time I went to the South China Sea to control the water, I am afraid that no one will deliberately embarrass me." Of course, I try my best to fight for power, but people are also indispensable, and they must be our descendants. ”

"I've thought about it carefully, the eighth brother has always been by my side, and ordinary people can't get into me at all. Therefore, I don't need too many people, just hand over Shui Yi and Liu Jue to me, and bring ten or eight children, which is enough to protect my safety. ”

"Besides, this strange army of King Jin is close to the left, if the manpower of the secret camp is too small, I am afraid that when there is an emergency, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it!"

Tang Jingtian said disapprerovingly: "You try to bring as much as possible, King Jin doesn't need to worry about it at all, we have already figured out their details, these people are like turtles in an urn, and they can't pose a threat to us at all." And as long as we want, we can wipe them all out at any time, and what else can't deal with it? ”

Yue Chang suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Speaking of this strange army of King Jin, I feel a little confused. A few days ago, when Kan De and his team were patrolling the surroundings of Yungu, they found a group of mysterious characters haunting the vicinity, but they didn't look like hunters in the mountains. You must know that we already know a lot about King Jin's side, and we all know the characters who often come and go. ”

"But this group is very different, because after we have followed them for a while, we find that the area where these people are most often active is to the east of our secret camp, and it is only seven or eight miles away from here, oh! The base camp of the King of Jin has always been to the west of us, if you ......"

Tang Jingtian's expression changed drastically: "Are you saying that these people may also be the people of King Jin?" If that's the case, the situation of our secret camp will be dangerous. King Jin's people are caught between us in the secret camp, and this situation is quite unfavorable to us! Oh! You should have told me about this kind of thing a long time ago! ”

Yue Chang shook his head slightly and said, "Alas! We only found out about this the day before yesterday, and we have been tracking their whereabouts, but there is no result yet. Brother Tang, you haven't come over for the past two days, my third brother and I are thinking about waiting for you to come over and figure out a way together! If it was really the people of King Jin, and we were caught in the middle by such a twisted force, maybe they already knew everything about us. ”

Lin Juda shook his head and said, "In my opinion, we don't need to panic too much. Because I've been there to see it myself. These people come out in groups every day to inspect and transport supplies in large quantities, as if there is already a place to settle here. Since these people are all extraordinary, and there are as many as 100 people, I don't dare to get too close, but I can roughly determine that this group of people should not be the subordinates of King Jin, but another sect master. ”

Li Yi said suspiciously: "How can the third brother be sure that these people are not the people of King Jin?" ”

Lin Ju nodded without hesitation and said, "Because, there is a person here that I am very familiar with, and he has a lot of intersections with him in Yueyang." It can be said that my previous relationship with him was quite good. ”

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Lin Ju continued: "Why am I sure that these people are not from King Jin, because my friend Chen Tianci is the son of Chen Jingzong, the former army general of our Han Dynasty. His father, Chen Jingzong, as a famous general under Liu Yan, once fought in the east and west, fought bloodily, and made countless contributions to the Han Dynasty. ”

"But it was only due to a small mistake that a city was lost, and some soldiers mutinied to the enemy, which caused Liu Yanlongyan, who was drunk, to be furious, and gave Chen Jingzong to death in a fit of anger, and finally forced the young Chen Tianci to leave the country and flee to Yueyang in Chu for refuge."

Although Liu Yan regretted it afterwards, the matter has come to this point, and there is no room for recovery. However, Chen Tianci studied art with me and made a sonorous oath, determined to avenge his father's blood revenge. With his upright character and firm will, he will never be willing to bow down to serve Liu Yan's son. Therefore, he is likely to have other plans, but it is definitely not the person who is the king of Jin. ”
