Li Cangxing wrote hard, from the afternoon to the evening or so, he didn't even care about eating, while copying the book while reminiscing about the essence of these tricks, from time to time he stood up and gestured a few times, unconsciously, the night was deep, and in this quiet night, Li Cangxing suddenly heard the sound of a small pebble hitting the window lattice behind the window, and then a breeze blew from behind the window, as if someone jumped on the roof.

Li Cangxing's heart sank, he didn't expect that there would be a night walker visiting the place where the beggars were picking, this person was obviously coming for himself, but Li Cangxing's skills are not what they used to be, not at all like a few years ago when he was in Sanqingguan, he was worried that he would be an enemy, he put down the pen in hand, grabbed the dragon slaying knife at the head of the bed, wrapped it in a black cloth, and then inserted the purple electric sword into his waist, and then turned out of the window, and then jumped onto the beam.

More than ten zhang away, there was a person dressed in black, with a medium body and a somewhat bloated body, his eyes were shining, he glanced at Li Cangxing, turned his head and floated silently into the distance, his body was so fast that it was dizzying.

Li Cangxing's heart was full of pride, and he ran out after him, and now his skill has increased greatly, and the speed of the true qi in his body has also been greatly improved, and by the way, he has strengthened his light power. He followed the visitor closely, chasing back and forth on the roof of this Zhenjiang Mansion, Li Cangxing also used ninety percent of his effort, but he could not get closer than half a foot.

Soon, the person in front ran up the city wall, running towards the outside of the city, Li Cangxing also followed, after leaving the city, he quickened his pace, his skill was mentioned as ten percent, and the distance between the person was shortened by two or three zhang, and after running four or five miles, he entered a dense forest in the west of the city, and then the man stopped, turned his head and pulled down the black towel on his face, it was Qian Guanglai. He smiled and said, "Cangxing, long time no see!"

Li Cangxing basically guessed a rough idea when he was chasing just now, and this time he saw that it was a fat man, and he also smiled and said: "Fat man, why can't you go into the house and talk about it, but want to lead me here?" ”

Qian Guanglai didn't speak, and in the shadow of the tree on the side, Gongsun Hao walked out slowly and said calmly: "Because I don't want Yanagi Xiongba to hear our words." ”

Li Cangxing also expected this reason, and he sighed. said: "Helper, in fact, you should see that Liu Sheng is not a treacherous person, so there is no need to guard him like this." ”

Gongsun Hao waved his hand, his expression still stern: "I know he's not a bad person." But it's an internal matter of our gang and we don't want outsiders to know about it. And the next thing to send him also needs to be collegial. It's not a good idea to discuss these things in front of him. ”

Li Cangxing also put away his smile: "Gang leader, you said two days ago that you left the two of us to deal with the affairs of the gang, did you go back to that secret valley to pack up the cheats?" ”

Gongsun Hao's eyebrows raised slightly: "Yes, this cheat is the top priority of this gang now, and it is not convenient for me to inspect it when you are with Yanagi Xiongba, so when I settle down with you." I went to the valley, and the cheats and the war books were there, and now I have set them up. Cangxing, you don't have to copy that cheats when you go back in a while. Tomorrow you can set off on your way. ”

Li Cangxing responded and said, "Helper, then I'll go back and inform Liu Sheng, and then set off back to Wudang, how about it?" ”

Gongsun Hao nodded: "When I came to you today, the first thing I did was to discuss with you about Yanagi Xiongba's return to the East, what can you do to make Yanagi Xiongba return to the East?" ”

Li Cangxing has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, and when he heard Gongsun Hao mention it, he said bluntly: "The best way is naturally to transfer Shangquan Nobuyuki to the Japanese leader Wang Zhi again, as he did last time, and send Liu Sheng back to the East, I don't know if this road is feasible now." ”

Qian Guang said: "After receiving a message from the gang leader a few days ago, I happened to be in Hangzhou at the time, and Tan Lun, who fought with us last time, is now in the army of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and Shen Lian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is now also in charge of the Jinyi Guard in Zhejiang and Nanzhili Provinces. ”

Li Cangxing was heartbroken when he thought of this, and said hatefully: "Things gather like things, snakes and rats are a nest, this Lu Bing and Hu Zongxian, who is a strict party, collude together, that is a natural thing." ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head and said: "Cangxing, a year ago, I had the same idea as you, and I was extremely disdainful of Hu Zongxian, but in the past year, I have dealt with Tan Lun and Shen Lian, and I have also seen Hu Zongxian himself, and now my mind has changed, Hu Zongxian is not a traitor like Yan Song, he still wants to make some achievements in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to protect the lives of the people." ”

When Li Cangxing heard this, he didn't fight anywhere: "Bao Li Minsheng? Is it like him to return the leader of the Japanese who killed our soldiers and civilians to the Japanese as a favor? Do you want to reopen trade with the Japanese invaders? Fatty, do you have a lot of business and think that this traitor's approach is acceptable? Even I can see that he wants to reopen trade just to take the opportunity to fill his pocket!"

Qian Guanglai sighed: "Cangxing, your prejudice against Hu Zongxian is too deep, of course, I can understand your feelings, he is the way to become this official, this is a fact, but this does not mean that he is willing to betray the interests of the country and collude with bandits, which official does not want to be able to achieve smooth weather and outstanding political achievements during his tenure?" Moreover, in my current opinion, it is basically impossible to exterminate the Japanese by military means. ”

Li Cangxing sneered: "I'm a million people with a lot of armor, even in these two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are no less than 100,000 guards, fatty, do you think I'm just a fool and don't know anything." The 100,000 troops are powerless against the Japanese invaders, which can only show that this surnamed Hu does not want to exterminate the Japanese rebellion at all!"

Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Cangxing, you and I can see clearly in the city of Nanjing that day, the guards of the Ming Dynasty who accompany the capital Nanjing are already the most elite combat troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and two thousand officers and soldiers go out of the city to fight against dozens of Japanese invaders in Shangquan Xinzhi, what is the result?"

Li Cangxing thought of the tragic situation outside Nanjing that day, and he also hated that iron could not become steel, but he still did not accept this statement, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said: "No, it was just an accident, the Japanese invaded suddenly, and there was a panic in Nanjing, and it was too late to adjust the elite soldiers and fierce generals, and hastily opened the city to fight, resulting in this defeat, and my Ming guards will not be as vulnerable as those 2,000 people." ”

Qian Guanglai sighed: "Cangxing, I don't want to accept this fact, but the actual situation is like this, among the guards, the 2,000 people you see are already the most capable, at least they can drive people out of the city branch, and change the guards in many other places, there are no people at all, they are all eating empty salaries." ”

"Since the founding of the country by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, in order to solve the problem of millions of soldiers when fighting the world and solve the problem of military resources in the future, this kind of military household guard system has been implemented, so that those who serve as soldiers become military households, and they do not need to pay taxes, but future generations must be soldiers."

Later, after the Battle of Jingyan, the emperors of later generations felt that it was not cost-effective to raise so many soldiers who did not need to fight in the south of the Yangtze River and the interior, so they let these inland military households cultivate their own fields, raise themselves, and supply military supplies. At present, only the border army defending against the Mongols in the north still has combat effectiveness, and in the interior, especially in the area south of the Yangtze River, the guards are already unbearable. ”

Li Cangxing was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a while, he said: "Since these guards are unbearable to fight, why don't you disband them, let them become ordinary people, and then recruit elite soldiers again?" For example, the last time the Japanese invaded the city, we martial arts people temporarily joined the army, didn't we also eliminate the Japanese invaders? ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head: "Cangxing, you are too naïve to think about it, don't say anything else, just say you and me, I am indignant for a while, plus Tan Lun is temporarily recruited, it is okay for us to temporarily take money to fight, but if you stay in the barracks for many years, and even your children and grandchildren will continue to serve in the army, can you stand it?"
