Chapter 179: The Situation in Linkou

After coming out of the palace, Li Gengyun returned home. He told Lin Wanyu that he was going to leave Xiangzhou for a while, and at the same time told her that the queen was going to invite her to live in the palace with him. Lin Wanyu understood what Li Gengyun meant, so she didn't refuse, but just said to Li Gengyun affectionately, "Wait for you to come back".

In terms of Kuiyi and Shadow, Li Gengyun arranged for them to go to the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to get ready, if they want to make Baili Xi completely defeated in the future, then the Northern Yuan must be in chaos, and his reputation as the Xiaoyao Marquis of Xuanyuan Wenzhai also needs to establish considerable popularity in the Northern Yuan.

In this way, the pressure on Yeluqi and Bailixi in the south can be appropriately reduced. After listening to this instruction, Kuiyi and Shadow also readily agreed, the two of them were extremely powerful, and Kuiyi's planning ability was not bad, Li Gengyun believed that they would soon be able to let the backyard of the Northern Yuan Dynasty know about the existence of this Xiaoyaojun.

As for He Jin, Li Gengyun has already arranged that as long as Baili Xi goes south to Jiangzhou, then he will let He Jin go to Lizhou, contact Song Qing and them, and jointly clean up the Northern Yuan army in Lizhou, so as to further disintegrate Baili Xi's rule in the Central Plains.

Early the next morning, Li Gengyun went on the road under the urging of Bai Luojun and Lin Sen, and they only brought one hundred taels of silver, which is only the cost of a few meals in today's Jiangzhou, so Lin Sen, as the Minister of Finance, made careful calculations for Li Gengyun and Bai Luojun at the beginning, and each person only needed one or two silver per day to buy food, reduce expenses as much as possible, and avoid starvation without money halfway.

Because this is a secret operation, the three of them dressed up in disguise, Li Gengyun's dress is not exaggerated, that is, he wears a non-commissioned officer hat on his head, which makes people look like a weak scholar, and Bai Luojun has also changed from the original strong dress to a lady's dress, which can also make Li Gengyun and Lin Sen stunned, it turns out that Bai Luojun, who is dressed as a lady, has such a look, not inferior to Lin Wanyu. However, although Bai Luojun is now dressed as a lady, her style and tone of speech are still the same as before, which makes Li Gengyun can't help but think of a sentence "The country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change", which is the most suitable sentence to describe Bai Luojun in lady's clothes.

As for Lin Sen, he was originally a famous white-clothed sword boy in the rivers and lakes, in order to prevent him from being too conspicuous, Li Gengyun deliberately let him wear ordinary servant clothes, and also made him stick a mustache on the corner of his mouth, looking like a housekeeper at home.

After this dress-up, Li Gengyun became the son, Bai Luojun became the young lady, and Lin Sen was the housekeeper and the finance minister of the two of them.

After the three of them were so disguised, they quietly went out of the city from the south gate of Xiangyang City, and hurried to Lingdu along the way, and after arriving at Lingdu, they rested for a night, and then changed to climbing the mountains on foot to reach Linkou in Jiangzhou.

After entering Linkou City in Jiangzhou, what Li Gengyun saw in his eyes was a rather tragic scene, there were only a few troops guarding the city gate, and they all looked hungry, as if they hadn't eaten for several days. At the same time, at the entrance of the city gate, there are seven big characters written "one person and one or two for entering the city", which shows how miserable the officers and soldiers in Linkou are, obviously because the military salary is not enough, and they use the entrance fee to make up.

After paying the entrance fee of three taels, the scene in the city made Li Gengyun unbearable to look at it directly, and most of the people walking on the road were also yellow and thin, looking like they were short of food. There are even many people who stay in the backyards of the restaurants in the city, hoping that the restaurants will take out the leftovers that they can't eat and reward them with food.

"Lin Kou, you're too poor!"

Li Gengyun couldn't help but think that this was very likely to have something to do with the rule of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect's sect leader, Bai Chongyang, is now in a position that is almost equal to the Jiangzhou Thorn History, or even higher than the other party. In each city in Jiangzhou, there are entries for the collection of the entrance fee. Most of these entrance fees flew into Bai Chongyang's personal pocket. It can be said that the wealth that the White Lotus Sect has looted over the years will definitely not be less than the property that Fang Tong has obtained from decades of hard work in Xiangzhou.

"Bai Chongyang likes to collect play beads, which is the kind of jade that is crystal clear and put in his hand to play with."

Bai Luojun understood Bai Chongyang's preferences, and when he said this, Li Gengyun was also suddenly stunned.

"Why is this Bai Chongyang's preference the same as that of the Red Tiger of Southern Chu." In the original work, it is said that Baili Xi used the unique jade swan stone beads to facilitate the dialogue with the Red Tiger, and then Baili Xi borrowed 100,000 troops from Southern Chu, and then united with the Southern Scattered Alliance, successfully counterattacked the Northern Yuan and achieved the final victory.

Bai Chongyang turned out to be a favorite with Chihu, but one was in Jiangzhou and the other was in Nanchu, if the two bumped into each other, maybe they would become good friends.

Now that he knew Bai Chongyang's preferences, Li Gengyun thought of an extremely effective method, that is, to take advantage of the large number of members of the White Lotus Sect to release the news that he had a pair of extremely precious jade beads. In this way, it will definitely attract Bai Chongyang's attention.

Of course, there is more than one person in the White Lotus Sect who wants to curry favor with Bai Chongyang, but there is only one person who has the ability to defeat Lin Sen and Bai Luojun, except for Huaishui Sanding. The current Huaishui Sanding should have returned to Jiangzhou, and Lizhou is occupied by Baili Xi, thinking that Bai Chongyang knows that he can't get any benefits, so he will definitely let them come back to Jiangzhou to prepare for the next step.

"According to the current situation in Jiangzhou, Linkou is not a branch altar of the White Lotus Sect, but there must be some members of the White Lotus Sect gathered here, once the scale is formed, then in addition to Danyang and Jiujiang, Bai Chongyang will also build a branch altar in Linkou. However, this forest mouth is so poor......"

"Bandits come out of the backwoods. The people of Linkou are fierce, and the people who live in the city are just those who have no choice but to take refuge, and the two cottages east of Linkou really have the right to speak in Linkou. One is called Feilong Village, and the other is called Tianma Village. The owners of these two cottages have a general relationship with Bai Chongyang. The White Lotus Sect originally planned to set up the branch altar in Linkou, but the people in the two villages were a little difficult to deal with, so they didn't give Bai Chongyang a chance to enter Linkou. Otherwise, Lin Kou would already be one of the branch altars of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Bai Luojun told Li Gengyun about the situation in Linkou, and now Li Gengyun has two important information, one is that Bai Chongyang likes to play jade beads, and the other is that the main forces in Linkou are Feilong Village and Tianma Village.

"Let's have a three-way match!"

Li Gengyun smiled, patted Lin Sen's shoulder and said, "Senior Brother Lin, I'm sorry for you!" ”
