The six hundred and third rounds
After the wolf listened, he couldn't say anything for a long time, he didn't expect Wang Zhi to be able to blame Chen Sipan and plant the matter of spying on the island, this reversal of black and white, pointing to the ability of the deer as a horse, is really to make himself convinced, but this is good, at least he has solved a big trouble for himself, now Wang Zhi at least will not point the finger at the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, although it is impossible to gain mutual trust in the matter of joining forces to destroy Chen Sipan, but the current outcome may be the best result after experiencing the change of Fengwu.
Thinking of this, the wolf nodded, and said: "Brother Xu, I will report this matter to Governor Hu after I go back, and say that you are committed to the imperial court and take the initiative to eliminate the pirate giants for the imperial court, and Governor Hu will also give you the rewards you deserve according to your merits, at least the original reward will not change, and the ban on trade will also be discussed at the right time." ”
Xu Hai waved his hand: "These are two different things, we are giving you a face for the wolf and Governor Hu this time, not for the emperor Lao'er, after you go back, it is Lu Bing who wants to sue him, and tell him not to make this kind of thinking with us in the future, this time we take care of the overall situation, and we can endure it, but next time we want to play tricks with us, then don't blame us for being polite, you also know the situation here, that is, the owner of the ship Wang and I, the people who take the lead in the matter, want to recruit An, the brothers below are used to it, and they are eager to fight against the court to the end, Not to mention those Orientals. ”
Heavenly Wolf sighed: "It's hard for Brother Xu, this incident is considered that I Heavenly Wolf owes you a favor, and I will try to compensate for it in the future." ”
Xu Hai smiled slightly: "Heavenly wolf, this matter ends here." Without further ado, what I want to ask now is how did you and that Iga Tencho suddenly become friends? He is the person brought by Yan Shifan. You competed with him that day, and you could have taken his life, but why did you stop halfway? If it weren't for your mercy, you wouldn't have been hurt like this. Do you still want to talk about the martial arts morality of the Central Plains to an Oriental ninja old demon? ”
The wolf secretly complained in his heart, everyone present that day was a top master, and his eyes were bright, especially Yan Shifan. I'm afraid that the body of Iga Tencho's daughter has already guessed fifty or sixty percent for him, so his colored eyes never left Iga Tencho's chest later, probably because of this. Iga Tianchang will completely turn against Yan Shifan.
But Xu Hai didn't have the same strong skills as Yan Shifan, and his position that day was also facing away from Iga Tianchang, and he didn't see the specific movements too clearly, so he was suspicious in his heart. Come to think of it. The wolf had an idea, and laughed: "What happened that day, Feng Wu was already at a loss, I forcibly asked for the parting sword, it was just to win back a little face, I didn't want the momentum to be completely suppressed by Yan Shifan, and I didn't have the intention of hurting people's lives, although Iga Tianchang's shot was full of killing moves." But I don't want to take people's lives on the island. ”
"Actually, Iga Tencho didn't do it with all his might, you don't know. The last few knives he chased after me were obviously able to pierce my body, but he always had spare strength, probably afraid that he would use too much force and really hurt people's lives, and it was not easy to explain to the owner of the Wang boat on the island. ”
The expression on Xu Hai's face became relieved: "No wonder I see that this Iga Tianchang knife is only an inch away from you, but it can't be pierced all the time, unless your light skills are exactly the same, but Tianluo, your martial arts are not good at light skills, and they can't compare to him at this point, which is also a way that I can't figure out." ”
Tenro nodded: "Iga Tianchang's ninjutsu body is strong, I have only seen it in my life, if he wants to take my life that day, with the help of Yan Shifan, it is not too difficult, so I actually regret that I was so big at that time, and I challenged him in order to fight for a breath, that Yan Shifan is afraid of death, but Iga Tianchang is fierce and weird, even if I fight him again, I may not be able to win." ”
Xu Hai smiled: "But you are a blessing in disguise, and you have become friends with him, why, is it possible that this king of ninjas also appreciates your character and is willing to make friends with you as a friend?" ”
Sky Wolf followed with a smile: "What he thinks in his heart, I don't know, it's just that he told me later, that Yan Shifan's whistle also disturbed his mind and footwork, and the Mo Evil Sword I threw almost hurt his life, it was for Yan Shifan, so he saw through Yan Shifan's personality through this matter, and he was just a chess piece he used, not a partner of equal cooperation at all, so he didn't want to have anything to do with Yan Shifan, my palm hit him in the chest, but he didn't exert force, He knew that my men had mercy, and he was very sorry to hurt me so badly, so he said that he would heal my injuries before leaving. ”
Xu Hai let out an "oh" and said meaningfully: "But if he just wants to treat your injuries and settle a grudge with you, why should he leave with Yan Shifan and Feng Wu in the same boat, and then go and return?" He doesn't have much friendship with Feng Wu, and her life or death has nothing to do with your injuries, even if Yan Shifan wants to harm Feng Wu, you can't blame him. ”
Tenwolf shook his head: "Mr. Iga's temper is very strange, and his thinking is not the same as ours, he said that I can't move my injury, if I wake up and find that Feng Wu is not there, and he has not fulfilled his duty to protect, maybe my injury will be repeated, because he thinks that Feng Wu and I are a couple, and I stand up to challenge him like that, and I also want to save my beloved." ”
Xu Hai's face didn't have any expression: "Then even if he sent Feng Wu back to the Central Plains safely, and then came back to treat your injuries, why did he only stay here for half a day, and as soon as you woke up, he didn't say goodbye?" Celestial Wolf, are you all healed by your injuries now? ”
The wolf secretly complained in his heart, Xu Hai's sense of smell was too sensitive, and he now wondered if he was in collusion with Iga Tianchang, or even if he was with Yan Shifan, acting for them, it seemed that if he didn't explain this matter clearly, he would not be able to pass this level, and it would also affect the major events of the future peace talks.
Thinking of this, Sky Wolf gritted his teeth and said, "That's because Mr. Iga overheard Feng Wu and Yan Shifan plotting against a friend of mine on the boat. ”
Xu Hai's gaze was as sharp as lightning: "Feng Wu is your woman, how can she get involved with that Yan Shifan." Sirius, you're so upside down, inconsistent. How can I trust you? I advise you to tell the truth, and not to lose even that little trust with me. ”
The wolf shook his head: "Brother Xu misunderstood, Feng Wu and Yan Shifan are naturally enemies, Feng Wu used to be with Yan Shifan for a period of time, and then he couldn't bear this person's evil and fled back to Jinyiwei, I once told you." But what Brother Xu doesn't know is that my wolf has a few celebrities in the rivers and lakes. One of them is Qu Caifeng, the owner of the Wushan faction. ”
Xu Hai's brows furrowed: "Is it her?" Celestial Wolf, you are really good. It can also have something to do with the white-haired witch. But he suddenly thought of something wrong, and his face sank, "No, Qu Caifeng's good friend is Xu Linzong." For him even a night of whiteheading. This is well known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, I knew it when I was in Hangzhou Hupao Temple, how could she empathize with her, and what relationship did she have with you? ”
Heavenly Wolf hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Xu, you misunderstood, Miss Qu and I are not a man and a woman, but a friendship, when I was investigating the case of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi in Jinyiwei before. I had a lot of contact with Qu Caifeng, who was still deceived by Yan Shifan and acted as a tiger at that time. It was also I who made her recognize Yan Shifan's true face, Miss Qu's Wushan faction is the leader of the green forest in the seven southern provinces, and the traitor who hates betraying the country and seeking glory the most, and has since broken off with Yan Shifan, and it is precisely because of such a relationship that she and I are friends of life and death, but that is the righteousness of brothers, not the love of men and women. ”
Xu Hai laughed, and the doubts on his face disappeared without a trace: "Sky Wolf, I understand, it must be that Feng Wu doesn't believe your set of statements and regards Qu Caifeng as a rival in love, and Yan Shifan hates Qu Caifeng's betrayal even more, so the two hit it off, and while you are recuperating from your injuries, you want to join forces to eliminate the Wushan faction and kill Qu Caifeng, right?" ”
Heavenly Wolf's heart pinched again: "What Brother Xu said is extremely true, Lu Bing still has a reason why he must destroy the Wushan faction, this is related to the secret of Jinyiwei, and I can't disclose it below, but I have stopped Lu Bing from acting several times, the reason is to use the Wushan faction to contain Yan Shifan, but now it seems that Lu Bing saw that Yan Shifan had once again controlled the overall situation of the imperial court, and in order to protect himself, he was ready to cooperate with Yan Shifan again, and chose to join forces to destroy the Wushan faction first, which is a thing that can not only please Yan Shifan, but also eliminate the big trouble in his heart." ”
A trace of confusion appeared on Xu Hai's face: "Yan Shifan just wants to put Qu Caifeng to death?" As for it? ”
The wolf sighed, thinking of Qu Caifeng's current dangerous situation, he was so sad that tears were about to fall: "This is actually all to blame me, I hate Yan Shifan very much, so I oppose him everywhere, but Qu girl is a jealous and hateful person, under my influence, she has also become the mortal enemy of Yan Thief, because the Wushan faction controls the green forest forces in the seven southern provinces, and begins to look everywhere for evidence of the crimes of Yan Shifan's henchmen, the evidence and silver taels of these people's embezzlement are often robbed on the road, and finally become a memorabilia to impeach Yan Dang and send it to the emperor." ”
Xu Hai understood a little and nodded: "I see, then the emperor sees so much evidence of corruption by Yan Shifan and his henchmen, doesn't he care?" ”
The heavenly wolf shook his head: "The emperor only knows how to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao, and he doesn't care whether his officials are corrupt or not, he has long known about the big corruption of the Yan Party, but he never takes it to heart, but he is very vigilant against the officials to control the government and set up the monarchy, so the honest and upright Lord Xia Yanxia was beheaded and abandoned the city, but Yan Song's father and son were able to control the court, it is because the emperor needs the traitorous party and the ministers of the Qing faction to fight each other to form checks and balances, which can make his position sit firm." ”
But the emperor was still taken aback after seeing so much evidence of Yan Dang's corruption, he didn't expect that Yan Dang actually embezzled so much money from him, which was worth several years of treasury income, and what was even worse was that now the country from top to bottom, most of the key departments were recommended by Yan Song, such as Hu Zongxian, if you want to track down the entire Yan Party, then you have to remove and replace more than half of the officials, then the state machine will be paralyzed immediately, the court is eventful, at this time it can't stand the toss, so the emperor thinks about it, or can't bear it, let Yan Dang go once, and defeated Qiu Luan, another traitor who was against Yan Song's father and son. ”
Xu Hai didn't know about the court, he was dumbfounded when he heard it, and sighed for a long time: "I didn't expect that above the court, like our rivers and lakes, there are so many battles and darkness. ”
Heavenly Wolf smiled slightly: "But Yan Shifan is also hated and afraid after this incident, on the one hand, he is also looking for a way out for himself, because next time he may not have such good luck to escape the catastrophe, this is his personal visit to the island this time." The real reason why he wanted to try his best to stir up the Huang peace talks was because he wanted to seize the power to deal with the owner of the Wang boat in his own hands and take the opportunity to catch up with the Japanese. If there is a change in the future, you can also flee to Japan. ”
Xu Hai nodded: "Yes, Captain Wang can also feel it, he wants to use us as a springboard, in the days before you came, he always wanted Captain Wang to send him to Japan, fortunately, Captain Wang was alert." shirked the past and didn't let him go. But it's strange to me that he didn't go to Japan. And how can you catch the line of Iga Tencho? ”
Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "Iga Tianchang intends to come to the Central Plains to develop, he let his subordinate Iga Shibei last time have a relationship with Yan Shifan. ”
Xu Hai shook his head: "No, we also deliberately want to control the connection between the Iga faction and Yan Shifan, and Yan Shifan gave the money to the Iga faction last time." Or did we pass it on? Sky wolf, this matter is very strange and important, it seems that I still have to investigate it carefully, you can also help me touch Iga Tencho's mouth if you have a chance. ”
Heavenly Wolf smiled: "Of course, if I meet Iga Tianchang next time, I will find a chance to ask this, he and Yan Shifan have fallen out now." Presumably this will not be kept a secret again. ”
Xu Hai put away his smile and became stern again: "Heavenly wolf." Those of us who eat by the sea, don't have so much loyalty, and we don't have the world in mind like you, we just want to live our lives well, so as not to force the court into a corner, although Yan Shifan is a traitor, but he is powerful and powerful, if he wants to cooperate with us now to open the trade ban, I think Wang Shipowner and I will not refuse, if he is not killed and dare not open this trade ban, we will not choose you as the object of negotiation. This is also the strangest place for us, why can Hu Zongxian do what he can do, but he, as a powerful little pavilion elder, can't do it? ”
Tianluo Zhengse said: "Brother Xu doesn't know this, the reason why Yan Song's traitorous party can control the government is that they can figure out the holy will, and they will never take the initiative to take the risk, and the emperor wants to open the sea ban and relieve the trouble in the southeast, but he can't pull this face, so he has to take a huge risk to take the initiative to mention this matter, even if he facilitates the peace discussion, in the future, there is the possibility of settling accounts for the autumn queen and pulling it out as a scapegoat, such a thing, Yan Shifan obviously won't do it, and only Hu Zongxian wants to pacify the southeast and benefit the people, will be so careless about personal gains and losses, take this risk. ”
Xu Hai suddenly realized: "No wonder, in that case, it is really not easy for Governor Hu, it seems that we have misunderstood him before." ”
Tianluo nodded: "So Hu Zongxian is also embarrassed, on the one hand, he knows that he can't beat you now, he can only ban trade, on the other hand, he has to make a whole military war to block other people's mouths, and in addition, he must prevent Yan Shifan from picking peaches and snatching the dominance of trade, because once Yan Shifan has the power of trade, he will definitely trade with you in order to make money, and a large amount of silk that should be paid tribute will be traded with you. If he could take the opportunity to pull Hu Zongxian off the horse and replace him with his cronies, he would not be able to ask for it, but as soon as this matter was revealed, the emperor would not even be able to secretly ban trade for the sake of face, and there would be only one way to fight at that time. ”
Xu Hai sighed: "It turns out that Yan Shifan's intentions are so vicious, but if the war starts again, what good will Yan Shifan have?" Didn't he also cut off his way to Japan? ”
Sky Wolf sneered, "That's not necessarily. In the process of trade with Guò, Yan Shifan should have hooked up with the Japanese a long time ago, and his property would also be transferred to the East, so that even if something really happened here, he would be able to flee to Japan quickly. On the other hand, it is impossible for you to maintain a long-term war, and in the end you will still stop fighting, if he can exterminate you, then he will naturally take the credit, if you can't fight, then it can also be said that Hu Zongxian secretly collaborated with the Japanese and did not cultivate military equipment, so that even the Japanese could not be defeated, so naturally he could not be blamed. If the southeast is unstable, the emperor is inseparable from Yan Shifan's people, and he can't be moved. ”
Xu Hai slapped his thigh fiercely: "His grandmother's, this Yan Shifan is really black-hearted." In that case, why didn't you tell us about these things earlier? Let's take precautions too? ”
Sky Wolf shook his head: "After all, we have different identities of officials and thieves, these involve court secrets, I shouldn't have revealed them to Brother Xu, we couldn't have real trust before, I just said, you may not believe it, this time the peace discussion on the island, you should have also seen Yan Shifan's methods and evil, I will say it at this time, you can believe that if it weren't for Feng Wu causing a big incident this time, the peace discussion would have the risk of dying halfway, I don't want to reveal this matter to you now." ”
Xu Hai nodded: "But now that the matter has come to this, even Lu Bing, your top boss has turned to Yan Shifan, what should you do with the wolf, you are Jinyiwei after all, even if your heart is towards Hu Zongxian, it is impossible to really break away from Lu Bing." ”
The wolf gritted his teeth, and his eyes became extremely resolute: "No, I joined Jinyiwei to benefit the people, not to get promoted and make a fortune, if Lu Bing is to help the country, I will help him, if he joins forces with Yan Shifan to bring disaster to the country, then I will abandon him, and even turn against him, I will not hesitate."
