Jingshi, early spring, just after the end of the New Year, the streets and alleys are in a joyful atmosphere, the couplets posted on the doors of every household have not been removed, and the fireworks and firecrackers set off a few days ago are still a lot of horizontal on the street, no one cleans, the festive atmosphere envelops the city, and in this increasingly difficult world, perhaps only the celebration of the New Year can make people temporarily forget the difficulties of people's livelihood.

In the Baiguanfang, an inconspicuous courtyard, the ordinary black gate is tightly closed, this is the residence of Zhang Juzheng, the secretary of the Guozijian Division, such a four-grade official in the Ming Dynasty is as many as a carp crossing the river, it is really a great official, and now it is still in the city, the gate is waiting in line to meet the Yan Mansion, Xu Mansion and other pavilion elders' mansions, compared with the mansion of the elders.

In a quiet courtyard in the courtyard, four powerful guards of the family are standing with knives, firmly guarding the courtyard gate, in a small courtyard, looking in from the window on the second floor, a long-bearded white-faced scribe in his early forties, with a face like a crown of jade, but he is standing on the fence outside, looking at the plum blossoms in the distance, while gently stroking his beard, while squinting his eyes slightly, thoughtful.

Qian Guanglai, who was as fat as a bucket, was dressed as a servant today, and he came in with the carriage that Zhang Fu went out to purchase today, at this time Qian Guanglai was sitting on the guest chair in the house, drinking a cup of freshly brewed tea, holding the tea bowl in his right hand, and gently uncovering the lid of the teacup with his left hand, and grinding it carefully on the tea bowl a few times. A refreshing fragrance of tea entered his nose, making him can't help but praise: "Good tea." Master Zhang, it seems that I don't have to honor your first West Lake Longjing next year. You've got better inventory than mine. ”

The white-faced scribe was Zhang Juzheng, he opened his eyes slightly, did not look back, and sighed: "Qian Fatty, you tell me the truth, is this heavenly wolf really worthy of our trust?" ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Lord Zhang, we have been friends for more than ten years, and I didn't mention this wolf once or twice, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed with coldness. turned around and said in a deep voice: "But after all, we haven't met this person, and we haven't had a long talk with him, what he thinks, what he wants to do, we don't know anything now, this time he helped Qi Jiguang in the southeast, I am always a little uneasy, there is no good thing in the world for no reason." This person is from Jinyiwei, could it be that Lu Bing wants to break into one of our pawns? ”

Qian Guanglai put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said: "I, Qian Guanglai, can use the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, and there will definitely be no problem." I knew this person before I joined Jinyiwei, and he was my brother in life and death, and he had an indissoluble enmity with the Demon Sect. In the past, I fought against the Japanese in the southeast with me. It was after that time that he pursued the Japanese masters. He disappeared, and I later learned that he had entered the Jinyi Guard. and because Lu Bing defected to Yan Shifan, he accumulated strength in the desert area for three years, broke the hero's gate, and then came to the southeast to gain a foothold. ”

Zhang Juzheng said coldly: "Chasing the master of the Japanese Kou? But I heard that the master of the Japanese is already his inseparable right-hand man, Boss Qian, how do you explain this? ”

Qian Guanglai has long known that Zhang Juzheng's ears and eyes are extremely smart, and there must be his eyeliner under Li Cangxing's subordinates, and the matter of Liu Sheng Xiongba is really not hidden from others, he smiled slightly, and said: "This Liu Sheng Xiongba, is not those crazy widows, he fought side by side with us, and he also made a lot of great achievements in this battle, not an enemy, Lord Zhang, you won't know these things." ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed and paced back in the hall: "Guanglai, it's not that I can't trust you, but after all, there is a genuine Japanese in your army, even if I don't doubt you, this matter will be used as a handle for the Yan father and son, after all, through the word "Wei", you can destroy the nine clans, and a great achievement may be wiped out by this." ”

Qian Guanglai said indignantly: "There are good people and bad people among the Japanese people, how can they be generalized? Yan Shifan is the real colleague, this time we have both stolen goods, and we are not afraid that he will deny it again. ”

Zhang Juzheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Who got the stolen goods?" Who did you catch? ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly, this time in order to keep it secret, Qi Jiguang did not write out the matter of catching Shangquan Xinzhi in the letter, Qian Guang said: "The leader of the Zhejiang Japanese Invaders is none other than the Yan Shifan's cronies Luo Longwen, his real name is Shangquan Xinzhi, he used to be under Wang Zhi's hands, the last time he betrayed Wang Zhi, the Shimazu family, the Spaniards and Chen Sipan jointly attacked Shuangyu Island, and this person was also the one who attacked Shuangyu Island, after Wang Zhi Xu Hai died, this person became the leader of the Japanese Invaders in Zhejiang, Another leader of the Japanese is Mao Haifeng, the son of Wang Zhiyi, who is entrenched in Fujian. In the Battle of Taizhou, we not only wiped out most of the more than 20,000 subordinates of Nobuyuki Kamizumi, but even Nobuyuki Kamizumi himself is now in our hands, and he confessed to his collusion with Yan Shifan over the years, and here are his confessions. ”

Qian Guang said, took out a stack of confessions from his arms, these are the confessions of Shangquan Nobuyuki before leaving, this time he specially wanted to bring them to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng grabbed these confessions, and looked at them page by page, his hands were trembling slightly, but the expression on his face was not shocked, showing the contradiction in his heart at the moment.

After reading it, Zhang Juzheng sighed and closed his eyes: "The sins of the strict party are really intolerable, Guanglai, thank you for this confession." ”

Qian Guanglai said with a smile: "Lord Zhang is afraid that he is not ready to report these confessions to the emperor immediately." ”

Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Qian Guanglai, a businessman, could also say these words, he sat back on his main seat Taishi chair, put the stack of confessions in his sleeve, and said quietly: "Guanglai, I naturally have to discuss these things with Xu Ge Lao and Master Gao, and I can't rush it for a while." ”

Qian Guanglai nodded, and said with a straight face: "Heavenly Wolf and General Qi have also discussed this matter, and they all agree that now that the holy will is unknown, the emperor will not attack the Yan Party now, and this evidence of the encumbrance can be kept for later use when the Yan Party is overthrown." The time is not yet ripe, and the testimony is given to you this time. And we will also keep a strict watch on the witnesses until the time is right. Offer it again. ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed softly: "General Qi is a martial artist, he doesn't know much about these court things, he used to give me gifts and walked through the front gate, it can be seen that he doesn't have this kind of intention, could it be that these words are all said by the wolf?" ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "It is exactly what the Heavenly Wolf said, if it was according to General Qi's meaning, this time he would have directly wanted to bring the Shangquan Xinzhi to the capital, but the Heavenly Wolf said that if he went to the capital like this." I'm afraid that I will force Lord Zhang to have a showdown with Yan Dang, which is absolutely impossible, Yan Shifan can put this charge on a few of his henchmen in Zhejiang, and the emperor can't really kill Yan Shifan like this. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded: "In this way, this wolf's insight is really extraordinary, and he is not an ordinary reckless person, but the more he is like this, the more worried I am, could it be Lu Bing standing behind him." ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head: "I can be sure of this. Lu Bing and Sky Wolf have already broken up, even if the two may cooperate in the future, it will never be possible to return to Cheng Dù when Sky Wolf joined Jinyiwei before, Sky Wolf is extremely smart. But all that is plotted is right, not a trick. ”

Zhang Juzheng sneered: "Boss Qian, I'm afraid you don't know much about this friend of yours." In my opinion, the next step is to eliminate the Japanese in Fujian. This wolf hero is ready to sacrifice the people of a city. ”

Qian Guanglai's face changed: "Master Zhang, how do you say this?" ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed softly: "The letter has been made very clear. General Qi and the Heavenly Wolf have made a perfect plan this time, ready to attract tens of thousands of Japanese robbers from all over Fujian to the shore and catch them all, although they did not say a clear plan, but I can guess one or two, it is nothing more than a temporary withdrawal of troops, pretending to publicize and create contradictions between the Qi family army and your Black Dragon Society, so that the Japanese can feel that there is an opportunity, and then go ashore to rob. ”

"The Japanese are not fools, this time they suffered such a big loss in Taizhou, and lost Hengyu, they will be very sensitive at this time, and they will quickly retreat when they encounter an ambush, so a county or a few villages will not be able to whet their appetite, so they will be willing to take risks and invade on a large scale."

Qian Guanglai asked: "But these are your guesses, my lord, when the wolf left, he didn't say which place he wanted us to ambush, but just let us stand still." ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head: "This is exactly the genius of the Heavenly Wolf, and he seems to be well versed in the art of war, and these military planes are tight-lipped even to your closest friends, but what he entrusted you to do this time is the best explanation of his plan." ”

Qian Guanglai's nose twitched: "Isn't it just to let Xu Ge Lao come forward and give orders to the four factions of the Demon Alliance!" Let him gather in Southern Shaolin, Fujian, I think the wolf means that he wants to use this to have a good relationship with the four factions of the Demon Alliance, not to mention sacrificing the people of a city. ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed: "The Heavenly Wolf said that he was going to give five million taels of silver to the four factions this time, and specially asked Xu Ge Lao to convey this sentence, if it wasn't for the huge benefits and benefits, would he be so generous?" ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Lord Zhang, you may have misunderstood, the wolf just wants to take the opportunity to make friends with the Demon Alliance, this time we have captured Hengyu, we have gained a lot, and we have the strength to form a good alliance with the Demon Alliance." ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes sparkled: "Boss Qian, I believe in my judgment, I won't be wrong, the wolf is big, if you don't eliminate the wolf, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Fujian, even if it is Zhejiang, he will be attacked by the wolf at any time, if I want to dominate the martial arts of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, I must first destroy the wolf, let the masters of the Demon League gather in South Shaolin, I am afraid that it is also a part of his plan." ”

Qian Guanglai laughed: "If that's the case, it's also a great thing to be able to eliminate the Japanese invaders, Lord Zhang, don't you always lament that these Japanese invaders block the sea routes, making it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to conduct overseas trade?" ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded: "Yes, it is necessary to eliminate the Japanese Kou, but I am just worried that the Heavenly Wolf is extremely smart and can forbear, and such a person may not be controlled by us in the future." ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head: "I think Lord Zhang's idea is debatable, the wolf is not a demon alliance, nor does he seek glory and wealth, what he wants to do is to stand in the rivers and lakes in a dignified manner, destroy the demon sect, and get revenge, the reason why he is the enemy of Yan Shifan is also because Yan Shifan controls and manipulates the demon sect with one hand, in the final analysis, this person is a pure person in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the court, so it is impossible for the adult to take him as he did with the various factions of the Demon Alliance." ”

Zhang Juzheng was slightly stunned: "Boss Qian, why did you say such a thing?" Could it be that the Venerable Master and our cooperation. Will there be variables? ”

Qian Guanglai put away his smile and said, "Master Zhang." This homemaster also asked me to pass on a message to you, the beggars are in this troubled world. I also hope to make a difference, in the future, not only will I continue to prevent the Hero Gate from going south, but I will also take the initiative to start a war against the Demon Sect, this is the decision of the beggar gang, I hope I will inform you. ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes widened, looking at Qian Guanglai, who had a stern face, and he was speechless for a long time.

Ten days later, on Wudang Mountain, inside the Xuanwu Palace. Dressed in a purple Taoist robe, Xu Linzong, who was wearing a purple gold Taoist temple, sat on the main seat of the head, his face was still like a crown of jade, his eyes were like a star, his lips were red and his teeth were white, but his jaw had begun to grow three strands of fluttering long beards, and there were also two thin mustaches on his lips, just like his beautiful eyebrows, which looked fairy. Extraordinary.

Mu Lanxiang, who was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, sat on a chair next to Xu Linzong, her eyebrows were still picturesque, a high Dao Gu hair was held on her head, and her cloud-like hair was draped over her shoulders. On the face of the melon seed, a pair of beautiful big eyes hung low, and there was an indescribable sadness between the eyebrows. There seems to be no concern about the discussions going on outside.

At the next guest seat of the two, Zhan Mubai and Lin Yaoxian looked peaceful. Sitting on two chairs, Lin Yaoxian held a blue and white porcelain bowl. Gently blowing the heat in the tea bowl, Zhan Mubai stared at Qian Guanglai standing in the middle of the main hall motionlessly, his eyes rolling straight down, as if thinking about how to speak next.

Xu Linzong coughed lightly and smiled slightly: "Boss Qian, it's been hard to come from afar, it just so happens that Master Lin and the Zhan Gang Master are also here today, you said that Xu Ge has something important to convene the various factions of the Demon League to discuss, so let's talk about it here." ”

Qian Guanglai turned his head and glanced at Lin Yaoxian and Zhan Mubai, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, Zhan Daxia, what kind of wind is this so coincidental that blows the two of them to Wudang Mountain together?" Or did the two of you have already heard some rumors and gathered here? ”

Zhan Mubai replied coldly: "Boss Qian, I would like to ask you first, a wealthy businessman who is also righteous and good, when did you start this kind of messenger business again?" Xu Ge has something important to discuss with our Demon Alliance, why did he send you Boss Qian to make this trip? ”

Qian Guanglai laughed: "This is simple, because Qian happened to come from Fujian, Zhejiang, and was ordered by General Qi Jiguang Qi and the president of the Black Dragon Society, and sent a letter to Xu Gelao, and then Xu Gelao said that the military situation was urgent, and it was urgent, so he sent me to run this trip, Qian Mou had no other ability, that is, he had been running shops around the country for many years to check accounts and collect rent, and this foot strength was okay, so he volunteered to take this errand." ”

Xu Linzong smiled slightly, and said to Zhan Mubai: "Senior Brother Zhan may not know, this Boss Qian is the head of the beggar gang Gongsun Hao, who is strong in martial arts, and even more proficient in light skills, has been doing things for his father for many years, and has taken the opportunity of traveling to various places to help his father do some letter delivery and liaison work, it can be said that he is an old friend of our Demon Alliance, not an outsider, so there is no doubt that Boss Qian sent a letter." ”

Lin Yaoxian gently put down the tea bowl in her hand and was about to speak, but suddenly heard Mu Lanxiang's sweet voice sound: "Sky wolf? Is that the former brocade wolf in the sky? ”

Qian Guanglai nodded: "Yes, it is the former Jinyi Wei Tianwolf, he has been lurking in the desert for three years, last year he broke the hero door, and rescued Zhan Daxia, and then prepared to come to the southeast to eliminate another of my Ming henchmen, that is, the wolf, and this Black Dragon Club is also the newly established Jianghu gang in the southeast of the wolf, Qian Mou is not talented, and now he is also in the Black Dragon Society, helping the wolf to do something." ”

Zhan Mubai sneered: "Fat Qian, I said why did you not do business this time, and came to be this messenger, it turns out that you have officially taken refuge in the wolf, you have already discussed it when you were in the desert, right?" ”

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Yes, Qian is not talented, and he has been friends with the wolf for more than ten years, he asked me to help, Qian will naturally do his best, and what the wolf did was not to fight Mongolia, or to level the Japanese Kou, Zhan Daxia wants to deal with the demon sect, these expulsion of foreign prisoners have no time to take care of it, so we have to meddle in our affairs." ”

After all, Zhan Mubai was rescued by the wolf, although he was not convinced, but the truth was not on his side, so he had to close his mouth and stop talking.

A trace of excitement flashed in Mu Lanxiang's eyes, and he asked repeatedly: "Boss Qian, has this wolf really gone to Saiwai in the past three years?" Why did you come back this time, and as soon as you come back, you have to start a sect? Is he still a member of the Jinyi Guard? ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head: "The wolf has officially left Jinyiwei, and when he left, he also had a big battle with Lu Bing, this matter should have been spread all over the rivers and lakes for a long time, Mu Nuxia should have heard of it, in the past few years, he has been in the desert just to eliminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect that escaped from his hands back then, this time his wish is granted, he wants to go back to the Central Plains to eliminate another group of widows who ran away from him back then, it's as simple as that." ”

Mu Lanxiang breathed a long sigh of relief, for some reason, when she heard the wolf, she always had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, this feeling was very familiar, it was only found in Li Cangxing's body before, as time passed, Mu Lanxiang became more and more desperate for Li Cangxing's appearance, but today when she heard the news of the wolf, she immediately became excited again.
