After the three of them went ashore, they didn't stay long, and left Penglai and went straight to Anyang City. When he was about to arrive at Anyang City, Shi Luosheng asked Leighton to find an inn to live in first, and then send someone to inform him after he had arranged everything.

As soon as he returned to the post station, Ning Zefeng also walked in, Ning Zefeng saw Shi Luosheng's eyes lit up, and said: "Taifu, you are back, as you expected, now the streets and alleys of Anyang City are spreading the matter of Chu State wanting to use troops against our Dayan, and the courtiers led by Taiwei Gao Lan above the court have also launched a attack on my eldest brother, how are we okay now?" ”

Shi Luosheng asked, "What is Emperor Yan's attitude?" ”

Ning Zefeng replied: "Your Majesty has not expressed your position for the time being, but let things develop, Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to take some measures to calm the anger of your ministers." ”

Shi Luosheng turned around and asked Xiao Che again: "Your Highness, has Emperor Yan summoned you in the past few days since I left?" ”

Xiao Che replied in frustration: "Except for the time we first came, Emperor Yan has never summoned me again, and now that the news of the Chu State is going to send troops has come out, Emperor Yan will not see us." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "The State of Chu will not send troops, this Emperor Yan and we all know, and even many courtiers also know that it is not necessarily a bad thing for us to spread this news now, as long as it can be properly resolved, it can further consolidate the alliance between Song and Yan." ”

Shi Luosheng said to Ning Zefeng again: "Lord Ningmen, now I also need you to send people to create a public opinion in the whole city, and tell the people of the whole country that through this matter, it can be seen that the Chu State does not regard the Yan State as an ally, and when the Yan State faced the powerful Qi State alone, the Chu State not only did not make any efforts, but tried its best to destroy the relationship between Song and Yan, trying to drag the Yan State into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts again. At the same time, I also ask His Royal Highness to write to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make a statement that Song and Yan are military allies, and if Chu really wants to use troops against Yan, then our Great Song will also send troops to participate in this war. ”

Xiao Che was a little worried: "Will such a statement allow us and the Chu State to re-enter a state of war?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "No, the matter of Chu State sending troops to Yan State was not officially announced by Chu State, it was just a rumor made by some people with other intentions, and the attitude of the Chu State court that neither recognized nor denied it was the fundamental reason for the panic of the people of Yan State." Our Great Song Dynasty came out to make a statement at this time, which can not only appease people's hearts, but also make the people of Yan Kingdom agree from their hearts that our Great Song Dynasty is the real ally of Yan State, and Chu State just wants to use them. ”

Ning Zefeng nodded and said: "This kind of public opinion guidance is indeed feasible, but this alone is not enough to make His Majesty completely determined, and there will still be many people in the DPRK who support Gao Taiwei's views." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Of course, this is not enough, but I still have a card in my hand." Then Shi Luosheng told him about this trip to Penglai, captured Leiton, and coerced him to promise to expose Zhang Qiyu.

Ning Zefeng was overjoyed after hearing this, and after returning to the house, he sent people from the Ghost Shadow Gate and the Great General's Mansion to spread the news in the city.

After Leighton settled in Anyang, he soon received Shi Luosheng's first instructions. That night, Layton came to Zhang Qiyu's residence.

Zhang Qiyu had seen Layton when he was at the Nine Dragons Waterfall, and he recognized this elder of the Hidden Star Sect of the Chu State at a glance. Zhang Qiyu was a little flustered and invited Layton into the study and asked, "Elder Lei, it seems that you shouldn't come to my house to look for me, this will cause me a lot of trouble if it is seen by others." ”

Layton said with a frustrated face: "If it is not a last resort, I don't want to visit you, we failed to assassinate Shi Luosheng in Penglai again, we all fell for his tricks, Shen Xun and the deputy hall master all died in the sea, only I held a wooden plank and floated back down the river." ”

Zhang Qiyu didn't know that Shi Luosheng had returned to Anyang City at this time, and was shocked when he heard the news: "There are so many people in your group, you and Deputy Hall Master Shen are also top masters, and you have won Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan one-on-one, this time the whole army will be wiped out, what have you experienced?" ”

Leighton told the story of his group following Shi Luosheng out to sea, and then being scuttled through the ship by Shi Luosheng, but he only concealed how he was captured alive.

Zhang Qiyu listened silently and asked, "Then why are you coming to me now?" Don't you want me to avenge you? ”

Layton said: "This time, the two hall masters of my Flying Star Hall and the disciples who came out to carry out the mission all died at the hands of Shi Luosheng, if I am the only one who escapes back, the sect master will definitely not spare me easily, and now I can only redeem my merits by killing Shi Luosheng." ”

Zhang Qiyu asked again, "Then what do you need me to do?" ”

Leighton said: "I hope that Lord Shaofu will arrange another chance for me, even if I fight to the death this time, I will take Shi Luosheng's life." ”

Zhang Qiyu sneered: "I still have a chance to arrange for you?" There are two chances arranged in the front, so many of you have failed, and now you are the only one left, can you still succeed? Besides, Shi Luosheng doesn't have any chance of being alone in Anyang, Xiao Che, Liu Zixuan, or Ning Zefeng, Ning Buqu always have someone by his side, you won't have another chance, it's better to go back to the Hidden Star Sect and move reinforcements. ”

Leighton said firmly: "Shi Luosheng will not die, even if I return to the Hidden Star Sect, I will escape and die, Lord Wanwang Shaofu will arrange it for me again, as long as this arrangement is clever enough, I still have a chance." ”

Zhang Qiyu was unmoved, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't the previous arrangement ingenious?" If he couldn't find a new opportunity before Shi Luosheng left Anyang, what would Elder Lei do? Could it be that you still have to follow him all the way back to the Song Kingdom? ”

Layton said: "I know that Lord Shaofu also wants to kill Shi Luosheng to avenge your father-in-law, otherwise he will not cooperate with our Hidden Star Sect." If Shi Luo ascends back to the Song Kingdom, you will have no chance to take revenge, Lord Shaofu, so you have to make another effort to create a new opportunity no matter what. ”

Zhang Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Tell me where you live now, I will send someone to find you when I arrange it, and don't come to my house to find me in the future." ”

Leighton returns to the inn and finds Shi Luosheng already waiting for him inside. Layton said: "I have already done according to your instructions, Zhang Qiyu should be able to set you up in the next few days." ”

Shi Luosheng smiled: "Zhang Qiyu set me up, but I haven't been fooled, what do you think he will do?" ”

Layton asked strangely, "If you are not fooled, how will the follow-up plan unfold?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "I don't plan to fall for him first, in a few days you will wait impatiently and then go to his house to find him, the last thing he wants to see now is that you come to the door." I haven't given him a chance, so you come to the door a few more times, and you might as well bring a little threat between the lines, and in the end, if he can't help it, what do you think he will do? ”

Layton suddenly felt a chill rush to his heart, and said, "Will he kill me?" ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said, "Yes, he will kill you then, but don't worry, I will take the initiative to find him when he kills you, and invite him to Youguo Temple outside the city alone." He will not let go of this opportunity and will notify you to come and kill me. At the same time, in order to solve your trouble, we will kill you together when we lose the battle. But he is just a young man, he has no military power in his hands, and he doesn't know any masters in the rivers and lakes, if he wants to kill us, he can only go to someone who has military power in his hands to borrow troops. ”

Layton continued: "In the end, what he didn't expect was that you had already arranged everything, as long as his people appeared, they would all be taken down by you. Shi Luosheng, I didn't understand until today that I lost to you three or four times, but I didn't lose unjustly. You are young, but you are so vicious and spicy, no wonder your father-in-law is known as the number one general in the world. ”

Shi Luosheng smiled secretly in his heart, worshipping Deng Yuanjue as his father-in-law didn't expect it to have this role, no matter how ingenious his plan was, it would be taken for granted in the eyes of outsiders, because his father-in-law was Deng Yuanjue.
