With a sigh, Chen Baihan said slowly: "The things in this world have coexisted in black and white since ancient times, yin and yang coexist, and behind the prosperity, there is also endless darkness. While speaking, Chen Baihan took off the cover on the oil lamp, and then raised his hand and said: "Just like this shadow, as long as it shines on the bright side, it will definitely leave the dark side, and the higher a person stands, the greater the ability, the greater the shadow cast." ”

Chu Haoyu is in charge of the dark organization Tianwei of Great Chu, and he can't be clearer about this, but what makes Chu Haoyu wonder is what his father-in-law Chen Baihan's words mean today? Chu Haoyu couldn't think it through, so he didn't speak, just stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

After a short silence, Chen Baihan continued: "The prosperity of the world can be today, and the wealth of Jiangnan is indispensable, but the wealth of Jiangnan is inseparable from the families and many officials in Jiangnan. The Jiangnan clan respects the five families of Sun, Qian, Wang, Wu and Zheng, and it is needless to say that the Sun and Qian families are the four great families of Great Chu, not to mention that the Sun family has retired, and the old man of the Qian family has just died of illness and has given birth to a change, and I am afraid that he will die for a while. Wang, Wu, and Zheng are all big families in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, and their influence is not much better than that of Sun and Qian, especially the Wu family, although it is not obvious, but when the Xie family was powerful, they still tried their best to make friends with the Wu family, that is, the first emperor pacified the Xie family and also came to Dongting to visit the old man Wu, and finally moved the capital of Jiangnan Province from Stone Town to this Pingjiang Mansion, although there is a reason for the Xie family, but also because of the Wu family. ”

Chu Haoyu knew about the Wu family, but he was still a little surprised to hear that the Wu family was so influential, and at the same time guessed in his heart that Wang Jiangshuo folded those people, who are the people of the Wu family, and can make Yuezhang speak, it seems that this person's identity is not low! Thinking so in his heart, Chu Haoyu finally opened his mouth and said, "Hearing what my father-in-law said, this king is going to find a time to go to Dongting to meet Old Man Wu." ”

Chen Baihan nodded lightly and said, "The etiquette should be like this." When the old man was young, he had several encounters with Brother Yu, and he talked wittily and elegantly, so he would not disappoint the prince. ”

Wu Zhiyu, the head of the Wu family, just when Chu Haoyu was thinking about what his father-in-law Chen Baihan's words meant, Chen Baihan continued: "The Wang family is also deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River, but looking at Wang Hao's expression, only the prince is looking forward, and there will be no problem if he wants to come to the Wang family, and now only the Zheng family is left." The Zheng family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, especially fifty years ago when the alliance with the Xie family was unparalleled, it was the top existence among the many clans in the south of the Yangtze River, after the defeat of the Xie family, the Zheng family surrendered to the city, and the first emperor admired the old man of the Zheng family, Qingping Hou, and the old man of the Zheng family was very smart and rarely asked about right and wrong, but after the old man passed away, the elder brother Shen Yuan wantonly interfered in Huainan affairs, and the power of the Zheng family was enough to be compared with the Governor's Mansion, and even let several Metropolitan Governors fold Huainan. After a pause at this, Chen Baihan looked at Chu Haoyu and asked, "But the prince is going to do something to the remnants of the Xie family?" ”

In the assassination of Qujian Gorge a few days ago, it was Xie Donglin who led the remnants of the Xie family to attack, and the Qujian camp was slaughtered by them, and even Shen Lan, Chen Baihan, and Li Tiannian, the important ministers of the court, were also hanging by a thread, and Chu Haoyu had to make a move. Nodding, Chu Haoyu said in a deep voice: "I have ordered Tianwei to investigate this matter in detail, there are those families and sects, and this king will definitely give an explanation to the court about this matter." ”

Chen Baihan had already guessed what Chu Haoyu was thinking, but then asked, "What about the Zheng family?" ”

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Chu Haoyu's eyes, and he stared straight at his father-in-law, Chen Baihan, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking. Soon, Chu Haoyu had already dissipated his momentum, and opened his mouth and said: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, this king will punish them, as for the Jiangnan clan, as Yue Zhang said, the world is bustling for profit, and this king believes that they are all smart people." ”

After looking at Chu Haoyu for a moment, Chen Baihan laughed, opened his mouth and said: "With your words, the old man is relieved, and the old man is waiting for the good news of the prince in the capital." ”

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Baihan and Li Tiannian left Pingjiang Mansion by boat to return to Beijing to resume their lives, and sent the two to leave, Chu Haoyu and Shen Lan went to the Jiangnan Wei camp together.

Jiangnan is prosperous and full of literati and ink writers, but the Jiangnan Wei camp is strict and measured, and there is a faint cold and murderous atmosphere. Seeing that Chu Haoyu showed a look of appreciation on his face, Yao Fangjie showed a smile on his face, and opened his mouth to say: "Back to the prince, Jiangnan has been prosperous since ancient times, and after the first emperor pacified Jiangnan, in order to ensure the stability of Jiangnan, he not only ordered the captain of the god machine to garrison Jiangnan, but also specially set up Jiangnan Guard, most of whom are veterans of a hundred battles. In order to prevent the camp from being contaminated with the luxurious and sluggish atmosphere of Jiangnan, the camp is all in the northern style, simple and heavy, especially after the arrival of General Cheng, not only re-trimmed but also brought the pride of men. ”

Chu Haoyu was already quite satisfied with this Jiangnan battalion, and after listening to Yao Fangjie, the commander of the capital, he smiled even more: "General Yao's words have made this king look forward to it, but this king has a heavy responsibility to hand over to Jiangnan Wei." Chu Haoyu's words made many generals look happy. The task of the soldiers is to go into battle to kill the enemy, although they don't know where Chu Haoyu wants them to fight, but as long as there is a battle, there will be military merits, if they enter the eyes of this master, it is not impossible to make steady progress, therefore, they stared at Chu Haoyu with excitement one by one, but at this moment, Chu Haoyu's words changed and said: "However, this king must first see how Jiangnanwei's combat power is." Zhijian, led half a team of people to ask for advice from the Jiangnanwei brothers. ”

Without any hesitation, Xu Zhijian immediately hit the horse and walked out, and said, "The last general will be ordered." In the midst of the loud cheers, Xu Zhijian waved his palms, and fifty horsemen followed him into the martial arts arena.

Many generals who listened to Chu Haoyu's words changed color, especially looking at the blood guards who seemed to be a whole. People in the army, who doesn't know the name of Xuanjiawei, many soldiers are proud to enter Xuanjiawei, as for Chu Haoyu's personal guards, they are the elites selected from 30,000 Xuanjiawei, all of them are martial arts masters, all of them are veterans of a hundred battles, although Jiangnan Wei is elite, but if he competes with Xuanjiawei, I am afraid that it will be...... Although some people are afraid of the prestige of Xuanjiawei, there is never a shortage of hot-blooded men in the army, and there are also generals who want to try, and the two of them walked out at the same time and bowed to Yao Fangjie: "General, the last general is invited to fight." ”

These two people, the general on the left side have dark skin, long thick and strong, rough appearance and beard, at first glance they are battlefield generals, as for the young man on the right, they are completely different from strong men, their skin is white and clean, and their appearance is handsome with a trace of elegance.

Seeing that some generals took the initiative to ask for battle, Yao Fangjie showed a smile on his face, but two came out at a time, which made him hesitate. The stout man Pan Heizi is the personal guard of General Cheng, a real veteran of a hundred battles, followed General Cheng into Jiangnan after the Battle of Mobei, and later General Cheng was seriously ill and retired, and Pan Heizi stayed in Jiangnanwei. The weak young man Qin Yiming is behind the general, he has been yearning for the life of Jin Ge Iron Horse since he was a child, he is familiar with military books and diligent martial arts, and he can be regarded as a talent with both literature and martial arts, and Qin Yiming yearns for the Xuanjiawei the most, and now he can compete with the elite of Xuanjiawei, and immediately stood up, staring directly at the main general Yao Fangjie with his eyes.

Looking at the two of them, Yao Fangjie made a decision as soon as he thought about it, and smiled at Chu Haoyu: "Xuanjiawei is a real elite division, invincible in all battles, although my Jiangnanwei is a good son, but compared to the prince's own guards, he is ashamed of himself, but the prince is intentional, and the last general will accompany him, and a team of people will come to teach the elite of Xuanjiawei." ”

Seeing Yao Fangjie use twice as many men and horses to fight against Xuanjiawei, Chu Haoyu had a trace of appreciation in his heart, as a general, he should be familiar with the enemy and me so as to formulate a strategy to win the victory, rather than dying to save face and be reckless. Nodding, Chu Haoyu chuckled: "Yao Jiangnan is the chief general of Jiangnan Guard, why do you need to ask this king?" ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu's objection, Yao Fangjie clasped his fists and saluted Chu Haoyu, then looked at Pan Heizi and Qin Yiming and said, "A team of people, you two discuss it on your own, go." ”

"The last will be ordered." In the midst of the loud cheers, Pan Heizi and Qin Yiming got up and left, and soon led more than 100 horsemen into the martial arts arena.

At this moment, the news that Jiang Nanwei was going to compete with Xuanjiawei had spread all over the camp, and the martial arts arena was full of soldiers, staring at the field one by one, not only wanting to see how elite Xuanjiawei was, but more because he wanted Jiangnanwei to win.

On the high platform, looking at the Seventh Prince, Chu Haoyu, and the Metropolitan Governor Shen Lan sat down, Yao Fangjie hugged his fists and asked, "Lord Wang, my lord, let's start?" ”

Chu Haoyu nodded without making a sound, seeing this, Yao Fangjie turned around and walked to the edge of the high platform, and said in a deep voice: "The competition is only for the sake of learning skills, not to hurt your life, start." ”

After getting Yao Fangjie's military order, Jiang Nanwei immediately moved, one hundred elites were divided into two groups, and there were about seventy horsemen and horses all the way, and under the leadership of Pan Heizi, they rushed towards Xuanjiawei with great momentum, and the other thirty horsemen rushed around the martial arts arena under the leadership of Qin Yiming, thinking that as long as Xuanjiawei fell into chaos, he would be given a fatal blow.

Xu Zhijian didn't know the enemy's intentions, but he was not afraid, waved his hand and raised his sword with a sheath, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" In the deafening shouts, the fifty horsemen of the Blood Guard galloped up and rushed towards Jiang Nanwei. Cavalry, there is no defense, only attack, no matter how many enemies there are.

In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the boxy formation of the fifty horsemen of the Xuanjia Guard had already turned into a diamond shape, like a spear piercing the enemy, and Xu Zhijian was the tip of this spear, which was unstoppable.

Pan Heizi has been in battle for a long time, how can he not understand Xuanjiawei's intentions, his rough face became more and more excited, and he swung a big knife and slashed at Xu Zhijian, wanting to break the tip of his spear. The horse's hooves were fast, and soon, Xu Zhijian had already met Pan Heizi, and with a loud bang, the two horizontal knives were slashed together.

Xu Zhijian was able to join the blood guard's personal guard Chu Haoyu, but it can be seen that the martial arts are extraordinary, but Pan Heizi is not bad, both of them tremble, but after all, the blood guard is a step higher, when Pan Heizi's body shook, a horizontal knife suddenly appeared from behind Xu Zhijian and slashed Pan Heizi's shoulder. Although he was not really injured, Pan Heizi knew that he was already a dead man, but he was not dead, and the grievances in his heart made him feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood.

Shen Lu, Yao Fangjie and others stood on a high place and saw clearly, and a face-to-face Pan Heizi was cut off the horse, and many people were stunned, with unconcealed surprise on their faces. Surprised by the elite of Xuanjiawei, surprised that Jiang Nanwei was so vulnerable. After killing Pan Heizi, Xuanjiawei rushed into the Jiangnan Wei army without the slightest stop, and everywhere he passed, there was almost no general, and more than half of the casualties were killed and wounded by a puncture.

Qin Yiming stood on the side and saw clearly, his eyes became brighter and brighter, this is the real elite, he must join the Xuanjia Guard. Thinking so in his heart, Qin Yiming suddenly beat his horse and sped up his speed and rushed up from the side, wanting to behead Xuanjiawei the moment they rushed out of Jiang Nanwei.

At this moment, everyone focused on Qin Yiming, whether Jiang Nanwei won or lost, it was all on him.
