"Objectively, two pots of good green bamboo wine, five catties of beef, five pig's trotters, and three side dishes, please use it slowly!"

In a tavern on Bailucheng North Street, a young man in Tsing Yi came to the box with a wooden plate and drank wine and food, and introduced while serving.

Since Xue Ju's father and son secretly controlled Chao Gai and usurped power, Bailu City has been under martial law for more than half a month, and the people's livelihood and economy in the city have withered rapidly, and outsiders who are so arrogant to this table have rarely been encountered.

There were a total of five people at a table, and on the north seat was a lean man, dressed in a blue robe, wearing a felt hat, and some patterns embroidered on the robe, which looked like a merchant from the rule of the king of the south, and the remaining four were all sturdy, wearing a tight samurai suit, which seemed to be the escort hired by the merchant.

"Brother Yue, we've been in Bailu City for a few days, we can't just wait, when will we start?"

After the wine and food came up, the five of them started quickly, and a guard sitting opposite the lean man gnawed on the beef in his hand, and turned to look at the door of the box behind him that was brought by Xiao Er, and asked in a low voice suspiciously, looking a little impatient.

The lean man dressed as a businessman was none other than the swordsman Wang Yue, who was currently the chief instructor of the Qilin Pavilion, and the four people at the same table with him were Song Dynasty, Leng Jing, Zhuo Yun, and Cheng Dan.

The person who opened the question was Zhuo Yun, like Song Dynasty, Leng Jing, Cheng Dan and others, they were originally people from the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts were outstanding, and finally defected to Sima Yu.

They pretended to be businessmen and infiltrated Bailu City this time, precisely to cooperate with Wu Yong to rescue Chao Gai.

With Sima Yu establishing himself as the king of the south, considering that Jinyiwei's power was too great, he was afraid of chaos, and Jinyiwei was also restructured and reorganized.

The outer cabinet that was originally under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei was divided into two, and the peripheral personnel who were dedicated to intelligence gathering were still under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, and the outer cabinet and internal guards who were dedicated to assassination, pursuit, and secret law enforcement were merged with Qilinwei to form Qilin Pavilion.

Jinyiwei only has the responsibility of supervision and reporting, but has no power of interrogation and law enforcement, collects enemy information externally, and monitors various localities and hundreds of officials internally.

The Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are responsible for questioning and enforcing the law, and the corresponding thieves and deciding Cao are responsible for those involving the counties.

In this way, the authority of Jinyiwei was greatly weakened.

The Qilin Pavilion is a secret force secretly controlled by Sima Yu, all of which are composed of carefully selected people from the rivers and lakes, as well as trained Qilin Guards, which is equivalent to a special forces in ancient times.

"This time we came to cooperate with Zhiduoxing Wu to rescue Chao Gai, now the entire Bailu City is full of Xue Ju's eyes and ears, Chao Mansion is surrounded by hundreds of armor soldiers, if it is rash action, it will inevitably fail, Du Jiaotou's side is trying to find a way to arrange, we just need to wait patiently, as long as they do it, they will act immediately"

Wang Yue shook his head when he heard this, and said softly.

In addition to their five Qilin Pavilion masters, Du Yong, who is also the head of the Qilin Pavilion, has led dozens of Qilin Guards to secretly infiltrate Bailu City as early as 10 days ago.

Du Yongnai is from the 21st century like Sima Yu, is a special forces, more than a year ago has been secretly voted, was appointed by Sima Yu as the chief instructor of Qilinwei, now after the integration of the two, he and Wang Yue are both the head of the sect, one teaches martial arts, and the other teaches the experience of special forces.

"Hmph, he can't even move ten moves under me, what's the use of waiting for him?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Yun showed a trace of disdain on his face, and muttered in a slightly unconvinced tone.

Sima Yu had just established himself as the king of the south at the beginning of the third year of the Great Struggle, and the Qilin Pavilion had been established for a short time, and Zhuo Yun and other members of the Outer Pavilion had only been with the Qilin Wei for a short time, and they did not know Du Yong's ability. However, because Du Yong's martial arts are relatively low, he is still in a high position, and they are even more dissatisfied in their hearts.

"Don't underestimate Du Jiaotou's ability, before leaving, the king repeatedly asked me to take Du Jiaotou as the main thing in everything, and act more from his opinions, you don't know the king's employment style, if you don't have real skills, how can you be so valued by the king, do you doubt the king's ability to look at people?"

Wang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this, and reprimanded Zhuo Yun with a slightly stern tone.

"I'm just whining!"

Wang Yue is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also righteous, he is an old man who follows Sima Yu's side, and he has a high prestige in the outer pavilion, in the face of his accusations, Zhuo Yun didn't dare to talk back, so he had to shrink his head and muttered with laughter.

"Okay, let's go back to the house to rest first, recharge our energy, and be ready to act at any time!"

"Yes"

Immediately, the five of them quickly finished their meal and returned to the room to recuperate and adjust the state to the best.

Fangshan Town, located at the northwest edge of Bailu County, is more than 40 miles away from Bailu City and close to the Yangtze River.

There is a small water village built on the bank of a hidden river in the north outside Fangshan Town, and there are more than 50 large and small ships docked on the edge of the water wall, most of which are small warships transformed from merchant ships.

In the previous battle with Sima Yujun, the Liangshan Army was heavily damaged, not only thousands of water divisions were lost, but Xiaxi Town, the base of the Navy Army, was also burned to the ground.

The armies of Bailu County and Yangshi County under the rule of the Liangshan Army are located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, hundreds of kilometers long along the riverbank, how can they do without a naval division.

Therefore, after the defeat of Hongzui Bay, Chao Gai transferred the three Ruan brothers to Fangshan Town, where they secretly built warships and recruited sailors. After nearly half a year of development, limited by the financial and material resources of the Liangshan Army, the speed of building warships was very slow, and the three Ruan brothers once again pulled up a 3,000-person naval division, which initially had a certain combat effectiveness, but it was still far from being able to compete with the naval divisions under the command of Sima Yu and Kong Youde, and they had been lurking in Fangshan Town to secretly train troops and accumulate strength.

"General, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be the general's deceased, and he asks to see him!"

The three Ruan brothers were discussing the recruitment of soldiers and the collection of ships in the tent, when a guard opened the curtain and reported to Ruan Xiaoer, handing a gold ring in his hand to Ruan Xiaoer as he spoke.

This was specially given to this guard by the person who asked to see him outside the camp, saying that as long as Ruan Xiaoer saw this ring, he would definitely see him.

"Hurry up, please!"

Looking at the ring presented by the guard, Ruan Xiaoer's expression changed suddenly, and after carefully checking the ring, he commanded the guard.

"Yes"

Hearing this, the guards quickly took the order and left.

"Brother, is this the eldest brother's ring?"

At this time, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi had already come behind Ruan Xiaoer, and after the guards left, Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask.

"Well, this is exactly the ring that the eldest brother wears on weekdays!" Ruan Xiaoer nodded.

"Now it's rumored outside that the eldest brother was imprisoned by Xue Ju, is this true?" Ruan Xiaoqi was shocked when he heard this, and his face was incredulous.

Since the three brothers have been ordered to secretly build a sailor here, the acceptance of news from the outside world is not timely, and this news only reached Fangshan Town four or five days ago, out of trust in Chao Gai's ability, the three brothers have not believed it.

But now that someone suddenly came to visit with a ring covered by Chao, the three brothers couldn't help but feel angry and a little bad in their hearts.
