Cold sweat trickled down the wolf's forehead, and he swallowed his saliva: "Could it be that Governor Hu's strategy is wrong, and it is beneficial for the Japanese to drag it down?" ”

Lu Bing's eyes flashed coldly: "I am the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, it is said that these military affairs should not be taken care of by me, but since the Japanese rebellion, I have also participated in the pacification of the Japanese invaders many times, that is, several governors before Hu Zongxian, such as Zhu Kun and others, I have worked with them, these civil officials have always just wanted not to have trouble in their own office, as long as it does not affect the taxes in the southeast and does not let the emperor invest more money here, they will be satisfied." ”

"It is also based on this psychology that the successive governors of the southeast only used the method of appeasement for pirates, before Wang Zhi, there were many pirates, such as Wang Zhi's fellow countryman Xu Dong is one of them, but Wang Zhi's generation began to collude with the Orientals, which will form a hundred times more rampant than before."

"In the past ten years, Wang Zhi's power has expanded rapidly like a snowball, I have personally experienced the previous peace, I know this very well, before Wang Zhi just brought the Oriental people to rob and rob a few coastal towns, but now he has his own maritime empire, once Chen Sipan is annexed, it is invincible on the sea, when the time comes, what he wants, but not only the simple matter of opening the sea ban, maybe he will have to ask the court for territory, and form a secession in a grand manner, It's not even impossible to get a knighthood. ”

Sky Wolf gasped: "Is this true? Wang Zhidang would not have such ambitions. ”

Lu Bing sneered: "So you and Hu Zongxian still underestimate Wang Zhi's ambitions, he is selling illicit salt in the mainland." In the past dynasties, salt and iron monopolies, selling smuggled salt was a capital crime, and it was not a ruthless outlaw. Like the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao, who rebelled and killed 8 million, is such a smuggler of salt, which shows Wang Zhi's nature. ”

But he just couldn't even enjoy the private salt business of Baili, and he actually went to the sea to do business, the vast sea, and there was no guide. A storm can kill him in the belly of a fish, and the country is doing its best to investigate this, but this can't stop Wang Hai's ambition to build his own business empire. Now that he has crisscrossed the seven seas, he seems to have become the overlord of the sea, and he doesn't even listen to the words of the Japanese, once he merges Chen Sipan. When the time comes, it will be the Sea Lord. Heavenly wolf, if you think about it, some mountain kings in the past generations have to give an official position such as a commander of soldiers and horses, if you recruit An Wang Zhi, how much official do you need to give and how much power do you need to give? Maybe Hu Zongxian's governor of Zhejiang is his target. ”

Feng Wu listened thoughtfully, and shook her head in disbelief: "Daddy, I don't believe that this Wang Zhi's appetite can be so big. He is just a pirate king who is in the sky, and he actually thinks about the entire southeast? ”

Lu Bing shook his head: "If I built it at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty." Or fifty or sixty years ago, at that time, the national strength was still quite strong, even if the north could not defeat Mongolia, it was more than enough to deal with a hundred thousand pirates along the coast, but now it is a domestic and external difficulty, the strict party has plagued the country for many years, the land annexation is strict, and the displaced people are everywhere, and Mongolia in the north has just hit the Beijing division, and now the country's key defense is in the north, and the southeast is the important tax area of the imperial court, and it is not possible to make a little difference. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, even if what you say is reasonable, but we assassinated Wang Zhi this time, it is also to let Xu Hai sit big, you just said, the pirates and the pirates are all inflammatory, and if one Wang Zhi dies, the other pirates will take Xu Hai's horse as the head, and there will be no civil strife, it's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm worried that this move is futile, now Hu Zongxian has a complete plan, as long as the recruits are trained and the combat effectiveness is formed, then you can find a way to lure the Japanese to fight on the shore, once the main force of the Japanese is eliminated, No matter how many warships there are on the sea, it will be useless. ”

Lu Bing stood up all of a sudden, and said sharply: "Hu Zongxian This is a move to bring disaster to the country, now the Japanese are just plundering the coast, and our dynasty will move the coastal fishermen inward, in fact, it will not cause much loss, but if it is as he said to lure the enemy deeper, then the target of the Japanese will be such a prosperous town as Ningbo, Taizhou, Shaoxing, and even Hangzhou, and the imperial court in the southeast of the mulberry field and the place where silk is produced are here, once the war spreads here, the annual silk output of the imperial court will be sharply reduced, which the imperial court can never bear." ”

The wolf said firmly: "No, to fight with the Japanese Bandits, only by leading them to a place where the fleet cannot support them, and they cannot escape after defeat, can they be completely annihilated, fighting at sea, it is necessary to build a large number of warships, and the outcome is unpredictable, but to the mainland, as long as the command is right, they can be annihilated before they harm the mainland, and then you can exchange the smallest losses for the greatest results, I think Hu Zongxian's setting is no problem." ”

Lu Bing sneered: "Heavenly wolf, don't think that Hu Zongxian didn't tell me about this way of fighting, a few years ago, when I sent Quan Xinzhi to Wang Zhi, he told me about this set of ideas, I told you that this will not work at all, because the Japanese will not fight in a dignified army like us, but as soon as they go ashore, they will disperse into a gang of hundreds of people, wandering around, how did General Zongli die in battle back then?" It was to pursue a few groups of Japanese robbers, but they were lured into the encirclement of the Japanese invaders, and dozens of small groups of Japanese invaders suddenly merged, and suddenly the number of people exceeded him several times, and they surrounded and annihilated him. ”

"Even if you train new soldiers in the future, you can win in frontal battles, but the price will be extremely heavy, the Japanese invaders go deep into the interior, divide the troops and plunder, not only can they capture many people, but also where the Japanese pass, burn and loot all, the crops in those fields, the grain and raw silk in the warehouse, and even the saplings in the mulberry fields, are all destroyed, they are fighting in the country like this, where they pass there is no grass, even if all the Japanese invaders who come ashore are eliminated, the southeast area is also broken, this is a burden that the imperial court can not bear."

Heavenly Wolf sighed: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, Governor Hu is really dedicated to the imperial court, and wants to pacify the Japanese people, this style of play is also a mature way of playing after years of thinking, although the Heavenly Wolf feels that it will have some impact on the southeast here, but it can solve the Japanese rebellion once and for all, it is more reliable than your plan to assassinate Wang Zhi." ”

Lu Bing shook his head: "I said it." That's just an option, and if you feel the timing is right, you can do it. On the contrary, I can only follow Hu Zongxian's method, but I am not optimistic about his style of play, because I know the emperor's temper too well, if he wants to destroy the southeast as the price of pacifying the Japanese invaders, he will never allow it, and would rather adopt Yan Shifan's idea and privately open the sea ban. Do business with the Wakos. ”

The wolf snorted hatefully: "Yan Shifan, a dog thief, where is he thinking about the country, he just wants to make personal gains. Qiu Luan has already done this kind of stupid thing in the north, and the more the wolf feeds it, the more ferocious it becomes, and in the end it eats you, even if you start a war with the Japanese again. Nor can the sea be banned. ”

Lu Bing smiled slightly: "I agree with you on this point. As soon as the sea ban was opened, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty was gone, I was afraid that there would be more and more people who went to the sea to defect to Wang Zhi Xu Hai, and then there would be no peace in the southeast except for the north. When you arrive at Shuangyu, pay attention to the topography there. Explore the reality there, and if there is a chance to retreat, find a way to assassinate Wang Zhi, of course, this qiē is up to you. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "I'll meet the opportunity, so when will we leave?" ”

Lu Bing glanced at Feng Wu: "Feng Wu, if you practice the Ziqing Sword Technique with the Heavenly Wolf, how long will it take?" ”

Feng Wu's eyes suddenly turned into a crescent moon with a smile: "Then it depends on how much Ziqing Sword he remembers, if he still remembers seventy percent of the purple sword, it will take about ten days, and he can achieve a small success." ”

Lu Bing smiled and stood up, and took a long sword in his hand like a trick, the wolf felt that this sword was very familiar at a glance, even if it was covered with a purple shark skin coat, it still couldn't hide the cold sword intent, and what was even more strange was that this sword did not have a sword gauntlet, only a gauntlet, with some black and thick lines wrapped on it, and I didn't know what it was, and I couldn't see the material of the gauntlet.

The Heavenly Wolf suddenly reacted, when he saw Chu Tianshu a while ago, when he was fighting with him, the sword he used in his hand was seventy percent similar to this sword, it should be the ancient sword of the Spring and Autumn Period, he shouted loudly: "This, is this the legendary Mo Evil Sword?" ”

Lu Bing smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the ancient sword Mo Ye, it has been missing for many years, when Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Wei during the Chengzu Dynasty, was looking for the dragon vein, he unintentionally found this sword in an ancient tomb, and it has also been preserved as the treasure of my Jinyi Wei's town faction to this day, Tian Wolf, you once told me that Chu Tianshu used the cadre sword, this Mo Ye and the cadre are one divine sword, if you can use it freely, the next time you see Chu Tianshu, you will not suffer a loss when you compare the sword." ”

The heavenly wolf took the Mo Xie sword in Lu Bing's hand, only to feel a cold murderous aura from the hilt of the sword straight into the body, this sword is the wife of the swordsmith Mo Xie back then, when he was about to give birth, he was put into the sword casting furnace and martyred the sword, it itself has a heavenly resentment and evil spirit, and it is also an ancient fierce sword that can destroy it, even if the sword is not out of the sheath, even if it is only separated from the hilt, you can also feel the evil door of this sword.

Lu Bing glanced at the wolf, and said: "What is entangled on the hilt of this sword is the tendon of the thousand-year-old dragon, because the resentment of the Mo evil sword is greater, and it is more evil than the cadre, so it can't be lightened, this sword is likely to have the ancient sword spirit in it, the sky wolf, if you really want to cooperate with Feng Wu to make the Ziqing sword technique, then you must control this sword first, otherwise all soldiers and ordinary iron will not be able to merge with her parting sword, you don't do anything else in the past two days, first use this Mo evil sword skillfully." ”

After all, the wolf is a martial artist, how can he not love the magic weapon, after getting the Mo Evil Sword, he had an inexplicable impulse in his heart, the battle with Chu Tianshu that day made him unforgettable for life, although the dragon slashing knife with the Heavenly Wolf Knife and the Dragon Slaying Knife is huge, but in this one-on-one single fight, the knife method can only be based on chopping, and the tricks of the long sword are endless, and he was born in Wudang, and he also has a natural affinity for the sword in his heart, holding Mo Ye in his hand, he quickly made a decision, nodded vigorously: "Then let's be commander-in-chief of Yilu, it's just that this Hangzhou city is too prosperous, and the branch of Jinyiwei is also crowded, I am not familiar with it here, where can I practice swords?" ”

Lu Bing smiled slightly: "It's in this Governor Hu's yamen, Feng Wu is recuperating in a separate courtyard for a while, that place is very quiet, and no one will disturb you, the two of you are practicing swords in that courtyard for a while." ”

Sky Wolf hurriedly shook his head: "This can't be helped, a lonely man and a widow." In the same room, this ......"

Two red clouds flew over the cheeks under Feng Wu's mask, and he took a sip gently: "Where do you want to go?" It was a separate courtyard, and there was not only one room, there were two side rooms and a small kitchen, and my father had already prepared food there for two months, and I would practice swords with peace of mind for these two months, regardless of anything else. ”

It will take two months for the wolf to hear about it. He hesitated a little: "It's going to take so long." ”

Lu Bingzheng said: "Before I came here, I had already met Hu Zongxian, and we agreed. It is not the most appropriate to go to Shuangyu too early now, so it seems that we are begging for the Japanese Kou, who have just made a bad mistake in Yiwu. At this time, we went to take the initiative to talk about cooperation. It will only fuel their arrogance, and we have to wait until the Japanese are waiting for our people, and they are anxious, and when they send someone to apologize for their sins and invite them again, they will consider sending you over, and it will take almost two months to come and go, and you just happen to practice more swords with Feng Wu, so you can be prepared. All right. I have other things to do, and I can't afford to delay too long. Go over now, and I'll let you know if there's a task. ”

After Lu Bing finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Wu meaningfully, and then left in a big stride, the sky wolf felt that the breath of masters was everywhere in the courtyard of this hall after Feng Wu came in just now, obviously it had been controlled by the Jinyi Guard, and the idle people were not able to enter, until Lu Bing left, these breaths also disappeared, obviously evacuated with Lu Bing.

Sky Wolf glanced at Feng Wu and sighed: "Your father is really ruthless, I don't come to save you when you wipe your neck." ”

Feng Wu crooked her mouth: "At that time, I was just bloody, and I was willful, where did my father have time to make a move, not to mention that he was still downstairs at that time, you couldn't stop me so close, let alone him." ”

Sky Wolf shook his head: "Anyway, if I were your father, even if I couldn't save it at that time, I would definitely show up after you fell to the ground, he is really hard-hearted." ”

A hint of resentment flashed in Feng Wu's eyes: "Actually, I have long been used to it, even if I really die in front of him, he will not delay his big event because of me, Sky Wolf, for me, you are more important than my father now, because you will not hesitate to save me, do you know, that day in your arms, I really have never been warm, I want to be in your arms for the rest of my life." ”

Sky Wolf didn't expect Feng Wu to be so bold and direct, he was stunned for a moment, and coughed dryly: "I can't see you die like that, besides, after all, you are looking for a short sight because of me, okay, don't say more things, I just ask you, how did you learn the purple and green double swords?" ”

Feng Wu said angrily: "I have even learned the Phantom Invisible Sword Technique, what is the great thing about the Purple and Green Twin Swords." Back then, Uncle Ducklin was a double cultivator of purple and green swords with that Emei woman. ”

Heavenly Wolf pondered for a moment: "I didn't have a long time in Emei back then, but when I practiced the Purple Sword, I used the Ice Heart Technique, is it the same now?" Can't use the Heavenly Wolf Battle Qi to urge the Purple Sword? ”

Feng Wu smiled slightly: "I'll tell you a secret, in fact, the ice heart trick is just an introductory mental method when practicing the purple sword, the purpose is to let you hold Yuan Shouyi, calm and relaxed, when you practiced the sword in Emei, you should be going to stab the stamens of those wild chrysanthemums, you can stab more than eight with a sword, which means that the speed and accuracy of your sword have arrived, and then no matter what mental method you use, you can urge the purple sword." If you don't believe me, you can try it now with your dragon slaying sword and sword moves. ”

The Heavenly Wolf had really never tried to use the Heavenly Wolf Battle Qi to urge the Purple Sword before, he groaned for a while, put the Mo Evil Sword aside, and then took out the Dragon Slayer, shrunk to the length of the long sword of about three feet, his eyes were red, and the Heavenly Wolf Battle Qi around him rose, according to the memory of the year, a sword was swung out, and it was the purple qi of the purple sword that came from the east, and thirteen sword shadows were stabbed in the air in an instant.

Feng Wu's face also changed slightly: "You actually have such strong swordsmanship, one sword and thirteen shadows, heaven, this is the level of the sword god, even because of the master, it's nothing more than that." ”

Heavenly Wolf was also a little proud in his heart, when he fought Sima Hong in the southern suburbs of the Beijing Division, he could only stab eleven times with a knife, but now it can rise to thirteen, it seems that his martial arts have indeed improved a lot in the past two years, and today is the first time he has used the Heavenly Wolf Battle Qi to urge the purple sword swordsmanship, it seems that he can rest assured that he can use the set of internal force he is most familiar with in the future to resist the sword.

The Heavenly Wolf nodded, put the knife back into its sheath, and said, "It seems that you can really use the Heavenly Wolf Battle Qi as the heart method of the Purple Sword, let's go to that small courtyard, and I will try to take this Mo Evil Sword in a while." His eyes fell on the ancient sword, thinking of his experience with the dragon slaying knife back then, he sighed softly, "I don't know if this strange sword can be controlled by me." ”

An hour later, in an independent courtyard in the backyard of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang, there was a strange atmosphere, and there was a fragrance of birds and flowers outside the courtyard, but this small courtyard fell into a dead silence, Feng Wu stood nervously outside the courtyard gate, pacing back and forth, and a pair of pink fists were clenched tightly, and the palms were already full of sweat, from her slightly rapid breathing and heartbeat, you could feel her nervousness and uneasiness. (To be continued......)
