Chapter 233: The Turtle in the Urn
"Kangzhou is actually the same as Shuozhou in the north, it is a military city established by Taizu back then, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, both the selection of generals and the selection of troops are from the best, and the local government is difficult to control, most of them are generals appointed by the previous commander." Hu Shou analyzed.
Yang Yi touched his chin and said stupidly: "It seems that I didn't use the ring of contract to force the Di people to retreat, Shuzhong is not all in the hands of Tao He as we imagined, the Di people are a big problem, there may be problems at any time, if you want to ensure the combat power of the Kangzhou Mansion soldiers, it will be difficult for Tao He to intervene, otherwise he will not push me out as a substitute for the dead ghost." ”
Hu Shou nodded and said: "This is enough to prove that Tao He is in a hurry this time, and the soldiers are in danger." ”
"In fact, Tao He's thinking is very clear, first of all, he wants to find the Immortal Pill, there is no doubt about it, and secondly, I am sure that according to his strategy, when the Zheng people and the Kangzhou army are defeated, he will definitely push me out and kill me to calm the war, so that the strength of the Zheng people can be weakened, and the Kangzhou army can be reshuffled, so that this strong army, like the Chengzhou army, can truly become his personal arm, but it is really a good calculation..."
Yang Yi smiled and said, "It's a pity, hehe... We're going to ruthlessly wake him up from his dreams. ”
Hu Shou was puzzled: "Childe, is there really an elixir?" Do you want us..."
"Stop!" Yang Yi waved his hand, knowing that Hu Shou wanted to let him taste that thing, so he moved his butt and said coldly: "I warn none of you to fight that thing, I don't know if you can live forever if you eat it, but it is a sure thing to die faster than others, if it weren't for the ancestral thing of the Zhen people, I really want to send it to Tao He to eat, so maybe we don't have to do it, he will die by himself." ”
Yang Yi had heard of this kind of thing in his previous life, and it was almost no different from the Great Light Alchemy Warlock described by Wuwei Daoist. In addition to herbs, various chemicals are added to the elixir, and it is terrifying just to look at.
In the history of the previous life, it is estimated that there are dozens of emperors whose causes of death are related to taking pills, Yang Yike doesn't want to be that kind of stupid, that kind of thing should not be called the Immortal Pill, but should be called the Urging Death Scatter, whoever eats it will die quickly.
Hu Shou didn't know the subtlety of this, he just thought that Yang Yi was different from others and didn't like to pursue those things.
Yang Yidao: "Let's say something useful, how is the arrangement of the matter back to Chengzhou Mansion?" ”
Hu Shou replied: "We are ready, as long as the matter here is over, we can secretly sneak back to Chengzhou Mansion according to the path provided by Shama Naigu." ”
After a pause, Hu Shou was worried again: "This Shama Naigu has even found a route to the secret Chengzhou Mansion, which shows that the ambition is not small, and the son needs to be careful." ”
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Hmm... Shamanaigu and the people of the Zhen tribe are undoubtedly a sharp double-edged sword, how to use it does need to be carefully considered, if it is used well, it may be counterproductive and hurt himself, Tao He also took this into account and did not dare to touch them.
But now we have no other choice, we can only take one step at a time, Shama Naigu is a good person, as long as we are sincere, I believe he will be a good partner. ”
Although Yang Yi was sitting in the city lord's mansion at this time, he could fully imagine how the situation outside had been disordered, the army of the Zhen tribe besieged the city, and it seemed that a big war was about to break out, and the atmosphere in the entire Kangzhou City suddenly became tense.
But in fact, only a few people know that this is a hunting ground that Yang Yi and Shama Naigu did together, and the target prey is also very clear, just to catch Tao He's people.
And Shama Naigu was not in the army of the Zhen tribe outside the city at this time, there was only a lonely Wang Qi bluffing, Shama Naigu had already led the elite to return to Lin'an County day and night at this time, and the task was to capture the infiltrators sent by Tao He into the territory of the Zhen tribe to find the ring of contract and the elixir, which were all evidence of Tao He's crimes.
The struggle for power is sometimes actually a gamble, but it is more involved, the chips are heavier, and the effort is naturally much more.
If you win, you can soar, but if you lose, you may be bleeding.
The situation is getting more and more tense, and the ***** is getting closer and closer, and Yang Yi, as a gambler, began to relax instead.
The cards that should be played are played, and the chips that should be pressed are also pressed, and the phrase life and death is perfect at this time.
Tao He is a very crazy gambler, otherwise he would not have come to Shu alone twenty years ago. Therefore, Yang Yi knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to win against a crazy gambler, the best way was to be more crazy than him.
Yang Yi had already ordered Hou Jian'er and the others to pack their bags and be ready to return to Chengzhou at any time, this is not to run away, but to go back to Chengzhou Mansion and Tao He to do *****.
Now you only need to wait for two news, one is that Ma You is searching for Taohe's secret agent in the city, this problem should not be big, the city gates around Kangzhou City are closed, and it is undoubtedly the urn to catch the turtle. However, it was more difficult for Shama Naigu there, although he swore to Yang Yi that he would definitely be able to wipe out Tao He's men who had infiltrated into the territory of the Di tribe, but there were too many uncertain factors in the vast mountains, and it was easy to go wrong.
Therefore, Yang Yi and Shama Naigu agreed on a three-day period, no matter whether there is news from Shama Naigu after three days, Yang Yi must rush back to Chengzhou Mansion, otherwise once the news of Kangzhou City reaches Tao He's ears, the Su family will face a catastrophe.
As for the Kangzhou army Yang Yi, he was more at ease, the entire Kangzhou army itself was not under Tao He's control, coupled with the deterrence of the Zheng army outside the city, even if someone didn't believe Yang Yi, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Just after noon, Ma You hurriedly came to the City Lord's Mansion and told Yang Yi that the spy had been caught.
When Yang Yi came to the military camp in the west of the city to see this group of "spies", six of the seven people had been beaten to the point of not being human, only one of the elderly people did not have any scars on his body, according to Ma You, this person did not resist like other spies after being arrested, nor did he have any quibbles, but only said that he would not speak until he saw Yang Yi.
Yang Yi ordered someone to take that person to a separate room, and of course, Tie Niu would never leave Yang Yi's side.
Seeing Ma You and the others go out, Yang Yi stood up, bowed to the old man, and said with a smile: "Old housekeeper, we meet again." ”
This old man is none other than Tao He's housekeeper, who has followed Tao He for many years and has won deep trust, and this time he came to Connecticut to control the situation on the surface, but in fact, this old housekeeper is the real person in charge.
The housekeeper glanced at Yang Yi, and suddenly smiled: "Gongzi A has good skills." ”
