Xu Wenchang's eyes flashed: "You're right, Yan Shifan doesn't want to settle the Japanese at all, he just wants to do business with the Japanese and get benefits, as for Yan Song, although he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Japanese Kou, but he also doesn't want anything to happen in the southeast, especially he can't affect the taxes in the southeast, and throw all the money in the treasury into the bottomless pit of military spending in the southeast, so I also hope that things can be calmed down here. But the follow-up killing move, that is, to lead Xu Hai and Wang Zhi to merge, as well as to take Wang Zhi, and mobilize the Japanese fleet to attack Japan, we have not told Yan Song and his son about this, but if it is a fait accompli, they can only admit it!"

Sky Wolf laughed and wrote, "But have you told the emperor about this plan?" ”

Xu Wenchang erased the words on the table with his hand, and wrote quickly: "Hu Butang's secret recital to the emperor must be transmitted by the Ministry of War, and Yan Song's father and son can see it, so it can't be written in that secret recital, the emperor's thoughts, Hu Butang is clear, he wants to save face, and in his bones he doesn't want to open the sea ban and do business with the Japanese Kou, but he is forced to do business with the Japanese Kou, but if he wants to exterminate the Japanese Kou, at least Wang Zhi and Xu Hai in the future, he must not be able to ask for it." ”

"So we also have to give the emperor a secret performance, and report today's plan to him, this secret music can't go through the cabinet, it can only be sent from the commander-in-chief of Jinyi Weilu, and the person who sent the letter can only be your brother Tianwolf!"

Only then did the wolf understand Xu Wenchang's true intention of being so heart-to-heart with himself today, and he laughed: "Mr. Xu didn't say his true thoughts until now." No wonder I had to make such a deep talk before meeting Hu Butang. ”

Xu Wenchang smiled embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not all about asking Brother Sky Wolf to send a letter, Shen Lian said that Brother Sky Wolf is a loyal person. Therefore, we have no reservations about Brother Sky Wolf in this plan, and when necessary, there are some things that are inconvenient for Hu Butang to do, and Brother Sky Wolf may need to help. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "Is it involved in interacting with the Japanese Invaders, or even assassinating the Japanese Chief, and I need to do it?" ”

Xu Wenchang sighed softly: "Brother Heavenly Wolf's martial arts are world-famous, and he has almost wiped out the White Lotus Sect with his own strength for more than a year. Causing trouble in the Mongolian camp, such legends have long been circulated in the rivers and lakes, and it is me. It's also fascinating. Moreover, Shen Lian told me that these things were not tasks assigned to you by Lu Bing, but a private action of Brother Tianluo out of enthusiasm. I wonder if it's true? ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "There is no such god as the outside world. It's just that when I saw that the White Lotus Sect colluded with the Mongolian Tartars, hurt the heavens and reason, and refined the living into poisonous people to help the Mongolian army attack the city, and replaced any man with conscience and blood, he would draw his sword in anger. ”

Xu Wenchang said with a straight face: "No, what makes Xu value is not only Brother Tianwolf's chivalrous heart, but also your improvisation." The trait of not being afraid of danger, the average Jianghu person. Brave is brave, but he is just a brave man, when he is in a desperate situation, he often holds the mentality of fighting how much is and how much he fights, and he fights the trapped beasts, but Brother Sky Wolf can use wit and strategy in an extremely unfavorable environment, with your martial arts that dominate the world, and finally turn danger into relief, and even complete impossible tasks. ”

Heavenly Wolf's brows furrowed: "In this way, Mr. Xu hopes that I can help you in the future, but I'm afraid it's something like entering the nest of the Japanese Invaders." ”

Xu Wenchang nodded: "Yes, in the future, we will have to deal with people like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, sometimes they will land on their own, but more often they stay in their own lair, we need our wise and brave people to go deep into the tiger's den and attract the enemy chieftain out, last time it was Lu Bing who personally escorted Shangquan Xinzhi to Shuangyu, next time, I hope Brother Tianwolf can help us go." ”

The wolf pondered for a while, and wrote on the table: "From my personal point of view, it's not that it's not impossible, it's just that I have a mission now, and you also understand that if something happens, my personal life and death are small, and it will be bad if it affects the overall situation in the southeast. ”

Xu Wenchang's expression became very stern, he thought about it for a while, and wrote: "These are just preliminary ideas, and the specific things still need to be carried out by the camera, but Brother Tianluo can rest assured, we will definitely fully design to protect your safety." ”

The wolf smiled slightly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Mr. Xu, please don't care too much about this, there is only one thing I am worried about, Yan Shifan and I have an incomprehensible deep hatred, you must put me to death and hurry up, he will now know that I am in Hangzhou, if I go to the nest alone, it is likely to collude with the widows and take my life." ”

Xu Wenchang's face changed: "There is such a thing? Shen Lian also mentioned this in his letter to me, but I don't believe it, Yan Shi's domain is high and powerful, although Brother Tianluo has the name of deputy commander of Jinyiwei, but he is not very powerful, and Lu Bing has a good relationship with the Yan family, how can you provoke him? ”

Sky Wolf sneered: "Shen Lian is still Lu Bing's think tank, he hasn't been framed by Yan Song's father and son, if he hadn't given Lu Bing a face, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago." Mr. Xu didn't know that he had personally broken the matter of Yan Shifan's collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country, so this thief hated me to the bone, that is, a few days ago outside Nanjing, I also ran into him and Xu Hai, Shangquan Xinzhi and others, do you think he will let me live? ”

Xu Wenchang's eyes froze, and he pondered for a while before writing: "Yan Shifan's status still wants to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? Are you talking about the Mongol invasion? I also heard rumors that Yan Shifan had secretly communicated with Altan Khan to bribe the Mongol army with a large amount of money, which seems to be a fact. ”

As soon as the wolf thought of this, he was angry, and wrote: "Not only is it a heavy bribe, this thief personally entered the Mongol camp at night and made a dirty deal with the Mongols. He promised to restrain the army of King Qin in various places, and let the Mongols grab the area around the capital for three days, as long as they did not attack the capital. They won't even attack them before they withdraw their troops, and now you know why Ding Ru? I'm going to die. ”

Xu Wenchang slapped the table hatefully, and scolded: "Sure enough, these traitors are misleading the country, and they can't die well!"

Tianluo continued: "Yan Shifan only wants to be glorious and rich for himself, and he doesn't care who is the emperor or who wins the world, but I have entered the city of Beijing. I think he will still be a good slave of the Mongols, so this kind of person has no country in his heart at all, only himself. It is also possible to make any deal with the Japanese Kou, and now the emperor is also aware of the fact that the Yan Party only seeks personal gain, regardless of the essence of state affairs, if it were not for the Yan Party members all over the country. It has become a big trend. I'm afraid that I've already done it, and I'm going back to Hangzhou this time to spy on Hu Butang, who is considered by the emperor to be an important member of the Yan Party, and once he has betrayed the country, I must report it immediately. ”

Xu Wenchang nodded, and Zhengse wrote: "Thank you Brother Tianluo for trusting Xu so much, and telling me about this matter bluntly, in fact, before you came." I can already guess this, although Hu Butang wrote to the emperor. It shows that in order to stabilize the southeast, he will temporarily deal with the widow and the snake, and the emperor also granted Hu Butang the power to act cheaply, but our emperor does not trust anyone, last time he first sent Tan Lun, who was a cadre of the Qing faction, and this time he sent you to Zhejiang, and his intention is self-evident. ”

Tian Wolf smiled: "Actually, the emperor may not distrust Hu Butang, what he really wants to guard against is Yan Song's father and son, especially Yan Shifan, now they still rely on Yan Party members to be all over the government and the opposition, and the country must not blackmail the emperor, but once the backbone members of the Yan Party can be like Hu Butang, draw a clear line with their father and son, and be loyal to the country, then the emperor wants to move them, that is, an edict, with Yan Shifan's shrewdness, all he can think of is collusion with foreign enemies, thinking that foreign aid, If you can't do it, you can flee to a foreign country in Tibet to save your family's life. ”

Xu Wenchang's face changed: "You mean that they will collude with the Japanese and flee to the sea?" ”

Sky Wolf's face was solemn, and he nodded: "It's not that this is not possible, Mr. Xu, Xu Hai and their landing, you know." ”

Xu Wenchang's brows were deep, and he wrote: "The problem seems to be very strict, originally according to the plan, they came to Hangzhou, and together with Hu Butang and Yan Shifan, they secretly discussed the matter of opening the sea ban, but before they saw Hu Butang, they said that they wanted to go to their hometown to see, Wang Zhi is from Huizhou, this time he sent his righteous son Mao Haifeng, that is, in the name of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and Yan Shifan has not arrived for a long time, so Hu Butang can only send someone to escort them to Huizhou." You just said that they met Yan Shifan in Nanjing, what happened? ”

The Heavenly Wolf fully understood at this moment, and wrote: "Presumably it was because Yan Shifan had some unsavory private dealings with the Japanese Invaders, so he had to open the Hu Butang and interview the Wolves alone, this time you sent to escort the Wolves to their hometown in Huizhou, who was it?" ”

Xu Wenchang sighed: "We also have a headache in this matter, one will be charged with a crime of complication if you are not careful, serious soldiers such as Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang They are definitely unwilling to take this errand, and Hu Butang's personal guards are not suitable to intervene in this matter, but according to the inspector He Maocai is very active in this, and took the initiative to send out the soldiers of his Yamen (according to the inspector, also known as the inspector, with his own guard, equivalent to the armed police of later generations), escort all the way, because he is a person from Yan Shifan, we are also happy to stay out of the matter, now listen to Brother Tianwolf, They didn't go back to Huizhou at all, but went directly to see Yan Shifan in Nanjing. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "In addition to Xu Hai and others on the surface, they also colluded with the ninjas in Igari this time, sending these people to assassinate and collect intelligence. ”

Xu Wenchang's brows furrowed: "In that case, why don't Brother Heavenly Wolf directly lead someone to take them down on the spot?" ”

Tian Wolf smiled: "I was the only one present at the time, the other party was a gathering of masters, I couldn't take it, besides, Yan Shifan knew my storage at the time, and didn't say anything important, but first broke away from the Japanese invaders, and then forced me to show up, trying to buy me, but I refused, so I could only go away in a bad mood, but then I lost their whereabouts, presumably a different place joint, I estimate that these Japanese will return to Hangzhou in the next few days to formally negotiate with you." ”

Xu Wenchang shook his head: "No, if they really take over with Yan Shifan, then they won't talk about anything with us, and if Yan Shifan doesn't come, they won't say anything in the face of Hu Butang." I think it's possible that they'll go straight to sea and go back to their lair. ”

Heavenly Wolf smiled slightly: "I don't think so, if Yan Shifan can't control Hu Butang, no matter how much promise he makes to them, it's useless." If I were Xu Hai, after talking to Yan Shifan, I would also come to touch the bottom of Hu Butang, which is in line with the character of these gangsters, shop around, and can't afford to be early. ”

Xu Wenchang also laughed: "What Brother Tianluo said is extremely true, but I didn't think it through. Come. A bowl of wine!" He said as he filled a large bowl in front of him, drank it all, and wiped his mouth. Haha smiled, "Good wine!"

Tianluo didn't expect that Xu Wenchang was a scholar, and the amount of wine was so good, although the osmanthus nectar in the south of the Yangtze River was soft in the k. But in fact, there is a lot of stamina. When the wolf first came to Hangzhou, he drank a few jars, and he was a little too strong to drink, so he knew that his stamina was powerful, and when he saw that Xu Wenchang could also make this whale drink, he admired the boldness of this scholar even more.

Xu Wenchang wiped his mouth, glanced at the sunlight that was shining in from the tightly closed window, and said softly: "Brother Tianluo, today you and I have a heart-to-heart fellowship. Seeing each other frankly is really a great pleasure in Xu's life. Our position must be clear to you, if you still can't believe what Xu said today, you can go to Hangzhou to investigate and secretly visit, and our talks with the Japanese will let you come in person every time, in a word, everything will not be hidden from you, you can see if what we said is true. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "I feel the same way, but where the duty lies, Sky Wolf must use his own eyes to see everything, and then report to Commander Lu, if Hu Butang is useful in the big matter, even if he speaks, Sky Wolf will never give up." ”

Xu Wenchang suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickered, as if he had something to say, the sky wolf saw him like this, a little strange, and asked, "Does Mr. Xu have anything else to say?" You and I have nothing to say today, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xu Wenchang gritted his teeth, but still lowered his head and wrote on the table: "Brother Tianwolf, there is a word in your throat like a bone, don't vomit or be unhappy, please pay attention to Lu Bing, he may not be of the same heart as you and me!"

Sky Wolf's face changed slightly, and he also wrote, "What do you mean?" Lu Bing In my opinion, although he has cooperated with the Yan Party, he is still a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country in his bones, and this time he is not used to seeing the behavior of Yan Song's father and son damaging the country, and he does not hesitate to draw a line with them. ”

Xu Wenchang sighed and wrote: "At the beginning, Shen Lian also believed in him like this, thinking that Lu Bing was a loyal minister dedicated to national affairs, but when it came time to use his official position as a bet and fight Yan Song to the death, Lu Bing still retreated, he may want to be a good person, but he didn't want to gamble with his life and the entire Lu family to give it a go, so Shen Lian didn't go all out to protect it, there are one and two, next time if Yan Shifan really wants to attack you, I am afraid that Lu Bing will still make the same choice." ”

Sky Wolf's heart sank suddenly, before today, he didn't know that Shen Lian was so important to Lu Bing, and he could even be his think tank, if Xu Wenchang didn't lie to himself, then if Lu Bing could even give up Shen Lian, who had been friends with him for many years and was introduced as a military advisor, he would have nothing to be reluctant to, if he said that for Feng Wu, he wanted to protect himself as a quasi-son-in-law, it would be even more impossible, even Feng Wu himself could sacrifice to marry into the Yan family and advance the fire pit, not to mention himself.

Sky Wolf gritted his teeth and wrote, "Are these Mr. Xu's own thoughts, or did Shen Lian tell you?" ”

Xu Wenchang's eyes were blazing, and he wrote: "Shen Lian and I were already friends when we were studying, and the correspondence has never been broken, and he has a secret message in his letter with me, which can avoid the eyes and ears of others, in fact, before the last time he wrote to impeach Yan Song, he had greeted Lu Bing, hoping to get Lu Bing's support, but Lu Bing couldn't make up his mind at that time, although he sent you out to investigate the handle of the Yan Party, hoping to come forward to prove the Yan Party through Guò Qiu Luan, but he also lacked full confidence in this, So I persuaded Shen Lian not to go to the book for the time being. ”

"But I know Shen Lian's personality best, he is jealous and hateful, he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, before and after the invasion of the Mongol army, he heard and witnessed all kinds of evil deeds of the Yan Party, and he was even more angry, thinking of taking advantage of the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Yan Party, by impeaching the horse market, to attack the Yan Party."

"At that time, Lu Bing actually had a lot of evidence in his hands that Yan Party members were corrupt and misused over the years, that is, many letters from Qiu Luan who colluded with Yan Song back then, as well as evidence of worshiping Yan Song as his father-in-law, Lu Bing had it, if Shen Lian could fully support him and publish these criminal evidence, even if he couldn't defeat Yan Dang, he could also punish Zhao Wenhua, Yan Maoqing, Xu Lun, these Yan Party generals, and Shen Lian himself would not end up in exile at the border."

The wolf reacted and hurriedly wrote: "But Lu Bing finally retreated, after Shen Lian wrote the book, he didn't take out this evidence, didn't he?" ”

Xu Wenchang's eyebrows raised: "That's right, Brother Heavenly Wolf, so you have to be careful of Lu Bing in the future, don't fully trust this person at any time, and leave yourself a way out!" (To be continued......)
