In order to avoid leaking secrets, Guo Ye participated in the Chongyang Alliance this time, but he still did not use the soldiers and horses of the government. He asked for a thousand elites from the Cao Gang, and took Qin Ying, Kongkong'er, and Jing'er straight to Meizhou.

It should be noted that Lei Shuyao also followed. However, this time, she did not disguise herself as a man, nor did she change her name. The banner that was directly played was the Zhuwang Temple to worship the bureaucratic saint Lei Shuyao.

In addition, she also recruited a hundred brave and strong people from the bureaucrats of Maozhou as an entourage.

So, nominally, these two groups of people are not the same thing at all, they just happen to come together.

Guo Ye brought a little more people, but he had the documents issued by Zhang Yun, and the journey was quite smooth.

As for Lei Shuyao, let alone that. Although she didn't have the documents issued by Zhang Xin, the name of the Wingman Saintess was the best pass.

Don't forget, this is on the territory of the rebels. If there is a chance to block Yang Sheng, how can Lu Tianyou let it go?

There were no words all the way, and everyone arrived smoothly to Nan'an County in Meizhou.

Nan'an County itself is not big, and with so many people pouring in at once, it must be impossible to live. Therefore, in fact, soldiers and horses from all walks of life were still arranged to camp outside the county seat. Only chieftain-level figures are allowed to live in the city.

Guo Ye, for example, was only allowed to bring twenty people into the city. As for Lei Shuyao, he is more preferential and can bring fifty people.

Despite all the restrictions, there are many high rollers entering the city. It's only the fourth day of the ninth month, and there are still a few days left before the day of the alliance. Everyone was bored, and there was money in their pockets, and the service industry in Nan'an County began to prosper abnormally.

Qinglou Chu Pavilion, gambling house and wine shop are all very prosperous.

Guo Ye and others have ghosts, but they don't dare to mess around, and they don't go out under Guo Ye's strict orders, but they also seem to have strict rules, which makes people dare not underestimate them.

But when a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven. Despite repeated caution, trouble came to the door.

Boom~

Outside the small courtyard where Guo Ye lived, there was a sound of slamming the door. Qin Ying pushed open the door and saw that this person really knew Li Yuankui, the owner of the big village of Lazy Dragon Mountain.

"Master Li Dazhai, which incense wind blew you here?" Qin Ying asked.

"Hey, what's the fragrance? Stinky wind! Ah, no, it's gambling! Forget it, I can't tell you, my eldest brother is not here? ”

"Big brother? Who's your big brother? ”

"Do you need to ask? Of course, it's the jade-faced little white dragon Guo Xiaobao, big brother Guo! ”

"You're asking my master? Absolutely. Wait a minute, I'll give you a good message. ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

……

……

Inside the living room.

"Big brother, you have to call the shots for me!" As soon as Li Yuankui saw Guo Ye, he fell to his knees, hugged his thighs and cried bitterly!

Guo Ye hurriedly helped him up and said, "Master Li Zhai, please get up quickly, you don't have to make this big gift." Belch...... You just called me big brother, where did you come from? ”

"You forgot? I think that at the foot of Lazy Dragon Mountain, Brother Qian Ba and I recognized you as a big brother! ”

Guo Ye hesitated: "That's not right...... I think you wanted to recognize me as the Lord, but I didn't agree, let alone worship my eldest brother. ”

"You can't say that." Li Yuankui shook his big black head and said, "I think although you didn't agree at the beginning, you didn't refuse either." Just helped us come up with an idea, on the Chongyang Alliance, find another master to take refuge. ”

"Uh...... You're not wrong. ”

"Isn't that the end of it? There is no need to wait until the ninth day of the ninth month of September, our brothers have already decided, that is, to recognize you as the Lord. From now on, you will be the eldest brother of both of us. You let us go east, and we will never dare to go west. You let us beat the dog, we will never dare to beat the chicken! ”

Guo Yeyi frowned and said, "What's the trouble with this?" You two don't think about it anymore? ”

"What are you thinking about? You've only been in Shiquan County for a few months, and you've turned the whole of Maozhou into your own territory. With this merit, it is enough to prove your ability. ”

"That's it?"

Li Yuankui said: "Not only this, but more importantly, you have also made the people of Maozhou rich, the treasury abundant, the roads are not forgotten, and the doors are not closed at night." A person like you is not a master, so what kind of person is a master? ”

"The great governance of Maozhou is actually the work of my virtuous brother Li Yifu."

Li Yuankui said firmly: "The credit of Li Yifu is your credit." Liu Bang is not very capable, but he can drive Han Xin, Xiao He and Zhang Liang, and then he has the Han family. Can it be said that the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty were not brought down by Han Gaozu? ”

Li Yuankui's answer was fluent, but Guo Ye always felt that something was wrong. Not wanting to continue to dwell on this issue, he changed the subject and said, "What did you mean when you just said that you want me to be the master for you?" ”

"Actually, it's like this, our brothers are bent on seeing the eldest brother as soon as possible, under your command. So, it came early. ”

"And then?"

"You hadn't come here yet, and Brother Qian and I had nothing to do, so we went to play a few games."

"Bo Xi?"

"That's right, it's a game. The other day our brother and I had good luck, but not this morning, and we bet on a chick. I heard that it is the sister of Yang Sheng, the commander of the bureaucratic people's congress, called Yang Qingqing. ”

Guo Ye sighed slightly and said, "Did you two lose money?" ”

"It's not just about losing money. You also know that Brother Qian Ba has the best face, how can he tolerate losing to a little girl? After losing all the money, he was ruthless and wanted to gamble with others. ”

"And the result is also lost?"

"Yes. Now the Qian Ba brothers are being detained in the Baolilai gambling house. Yang Qingqing said, either Brother Qian left his life, then take a million yuan. Just wait for three days, and after the hour, the money brothers will be disemboweled, and they will be sold piecemeal. ”

"So you begged for me?"

Li Yuankui said with a smile: "Big brother, you think, Yang Qingqing knows that our brothers are your brothers, and he still doesn't give face." This is obviously looking down on us, but in fact it is hitting you in the face, how can you bear it? Please also ask the eldest brother to call the shots for us. ”

"Hey, hey......" Guo Ye sneered and said, "Li Yuankui!" ”

"Little brother is here!"

"You're really dishonest. I said, why are you in such a hurry to come to recognize your eldest brother? What else do you say, I am comparable to Han Gaozu! But it turned out that he had encountered a threshold that he couldn't pass, and he had to ask for my head. Let me ask you, have you already begged Lu Tianyou? ”

"The ......"

"Speak!"

"At first, the younger brother didn't want to trouble the eldest brother, so he went to ask Lu Tianyou. But that grandson is too stingy, let alone a million, a hundred thousand will not come out, let me figure it out myself. Bah! If I had the means, would I still need to beg him? ”

Guo Ye said: "Okay! You go and ask Lu Tianyou to ignore others, there is no way, you just ask for my head! This is the sincerity of your big brother? ”

"I'm ......" Li Yuankui fell to his knees with a pout.

He said: "Okay, I'll be honest, Brother Qian was detained, and the younger brother really wanted to ask Lu Dashuai for help. But that's not because I look down on you, but because I think that Yang Dashuai has been in the army for so long, he should be richer than you. In addition......"

"What?"

"If Yang Sheng wants to be the leader of the alliance, he has to be like this. Our brother was bullied by the bureaucrats, and if he didn't take responsibility, what face did he have to run for the leader of the alliance? As for you, we don't have any friendship, and I suddenly ask for your head, I'm afraid you won't agree easily. ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "But you have calculated everything, but you still didn't expect that Lu Tianyou really refused?" ”

"Uh...... Yes. ”

"You, only a little clever, not a big one." Guo Yedao: "In fact, from Yangsheng's point of view, he should have refused. ”

"Why?"

Guo Yedao: "If he wants to help you, it is nothing more than two ways, either take out a million yuan, or negotiate with Yang Sheng." It's not that I look down on him, but now, let alone a million yuan, he may not be able to take out 500,000 yuan. ”

"No, Lu Dashuai now occupies the land of Sanzhou......"

"So what? These three states themselves are poor states, and after some destruction by the rebels, it is good to be able to hold on until now. How much balance can there be? What's more, there are many factions in the rebel army, and Lu Tianyou can't say anything. The money he could use temporarily was even more limited. ”

"What about him going to negotiate with Yang Sheng?"

"That's even more unreliable. Originally, the two were competing for the position of alliance leader, but now they have to give in to the negotiations, and their prestige will still be lost. ”

Li Yuankui's heart moved, and said: "In this way, whether Lu Dashuai helps me or not, he will suffer?" ”

Guo Ye said: "Exactly. If he doesn't help you, the loss will be smaller. Lu Tianyou is the lesser of two powers. I suspect that the matter of Baolilai Gambling House is not a coincidence, but Yang Sheng did it intentionally. ”

Li Yuankui said with a bitter face: "Lu Tianyou can't help me, so ...... you?"

"Me? I'm afraid that you came to me for help, and it was also expected by Lu Tianyou, or his military advisor Zhang Yun. Even ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye's eyes flashed, and he said, "You tell the truth, did Zhang Yun ask you to beg me." ”

"I ...... Well, I admit, it was Zhang Yun's idea. ”

"That's right. If I help you solve this matter, Lu Tianyou can't say that there is no credit. At that time, I will be Han Xin who is charging into battle, and Lu Tianyou will become Liu Bang, who is good at generals, and his reputation will not be damaged in the slightest. ”

"And what if you fail?"

"That's okay, on the one hand, the result can't be worse anyway, and you're just a dead horse and a live horse doctor to let you find me. On the other hand, I either have a bad relationship with Yang Sheng, or I have a bad relationship with you, which is what Lu Tianyou likes to see. ”

Li Yuankui scratched his head and said: "There are too many twists and turns in your stomach, I just realized that I was playing with you just now, but it was really a big axe in front of Lu Ban and a big knife in front of Guan Gong, which was too self-conscious." ”

"If only you understood."

"According to your analysis, whether you go or not, you can be regarded as falling into Zhang Yun's trap. You ......"

Speaking of this, his face turned gloomy and said, "You won't help Brother Qian either, right?" Alas, our brothers were involved in this kind of turmoil without their own strength, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted blame for causing this disaster. ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "You are wrong about this, Brother Li Xian!" ”

A "virtuous brother" called Li Yuankui's spirits lifted, and he clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Little brother is here!" ”

"Lead the way in front of the head, I'll take care of this idle business!"
