Jun Xiaoyun and the others gathered in the guest hall and did not go back to their rooms to rest.

Since Jun Xiaoyun and the others were intercepted by Xiao Bieli in the river, they no longer had the need to hide their whereabouts, so they abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and chose a relatively safe route to enter Yongyang from the north city gate.

After Jun Shushui saw Shen Yi leave for a while, the patrols around the carriage increased a lot, obviously set up for their group, and said hatefully: "Shen Deqian, this guy, overturned the previous agreement, and wanted to restrain us here. ”

Jun Xiaoyun said indifferently: "When Shen Deqian agreed with us, everyone didn't expect Xu Ruyu to get away from Qingjiang so quickly, and now the situation has changed greatly, and I can't complain that he will ride the wall and watch. ”

Ouyang Lei said: "The second master is really ready to contact Xu Ruyu? ”

Jun Xiaoyun nodded, his dark brown pupils were slightly constricted, his eyes were fixed on the empty space in front of him, and he said after a while: "Xu Ruyu's rise in the southeast seems to be accidental, but in fact, he has the wisdom of judging the situation. ”

Song Qianyan smiled and said softly: "The Chen clan may not be the overlord of the southeast. Chen pre-appointed as the governor of the East China Sea, but I didn't hear that anyone from Yongyang went to meet him? ”

Jun Shuishui agreed: "What Erniang said is that the Chen family has a Yongyang separation, and its influence cannot penetrate Yuejun, how can it be said that it is the overlord of the southeast?" I also hope that Erniang will continue to teach. ”

Song Qian smiled: "How can my woman's family have profound insights? It's just that the truth is so shallow that even we women can see through it. The Puji bandits have always been a big trouble in the southeast, and Xu Ruyu twice frustrated Gongliang Youqin, gathering the scattered forces under his command to have today's situation. But I'll just talk about it, two years ago I would never have seen the situation now. ”

Jun Xiaoyun held her soft and said with a smile: "Even if you are talented, you are better than many men." ”

Song Qian withdrew her hand and said with a clever smile: "Could it be that you men are better than our women?" ”

Jun Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, since ancient times, women have not allowed them to shave their eyebrows, and women are always stronger than us turbid men." ”

Ouyang Lei was in the mood to laugh when he saw Yun Xiaoyun at this time, but his mood was never relieved, the world was turbulent, how easy was it to get out of the whirlpool of strife?

The Changhe Gang has more than 20,000 people and a combat power of nearly 3,000, although its strength should not be underestimated, but in the hometown of Hexi (Fenjun, Youji, Qingzhou), which is competing with each other, it can only become someone else's pawn. Even if there was no letter from Tianji Xueqiu, Jun Zhuoyan decided to gradually withdraw his forces from the Hexi area, and only waited for the situation in the world to calm down before considering returning to his hometown in Hexi.

Although there is constant turmoil in the southeast, it is far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the chaos of the world's hegemony and foreign invasion has never affected the southeastern counties, so the first choice for the Changhe Gang to withdraw is the southeastern counties.

After the East China Sea War, Yongyang canceled the establishment of cavalry battalions and water battalions at the request of the Chen people, but in the past two years, the power of the Chen clan has not penetrated into Yongyang, and the Chen clan's restriction on Yongyang not to set up water battalions and cavalry battalions exists in name only.

Nearly half of Yongyang's troops are under the control of Xu Ruyu, and the water camp and cavalry camp that Yongyang families naturally do not want to rebuild are also controlled by him. The war horse trade in Baekje and Bohai was controlled by the Hulan people, and very few war horses could flow into the East China Sea, so it became a top priority to rebuild the Yongyang water camp.

The simplest form of rebuilding the Yongyang water camp is to accommodate the forces of a certain river gang and the lake gang, and before Xu Ruyu could react, a considerable scale of the water camp had been formed to redistribute the power of Yongyang.

That's why there was a mutual peace between the Changhe Gang and the Shen family, and the Donglin Society and the Xu family.

The news of the Battle of Fuzhou spread all over the world, and Jun Zhuoyan had already canceled his plan to move into Yongyang, but Xu Ruyu disappeared after leaving Qingjiang Mansion in July, and did not appear in Yongyang as expected; At this time, Xu Boying visited Southern Fujian, and Zongzheng Xunda led the crowd to Longyan to meet him, and the world speculated that Xu Ruyu might be hidden in Xu Boying and his party, intending to contact the forces of Southern Fujian to continue to fight against the Puji bandits.

can't help but give rise to the hope that Xu Ruyu didn't notice the abnormal situation in Yongyang, so there was Jun Xiaoyun's trip. The Donglin Association probably decided to move to Yongyang out of this consideration.

When Chen Zifang received Xu Ruyu's appointment, he was practicing qi in the courtyard.

Chen Zifang served as the governor of Yongyang Mansion, but the important military and political affairs of Yongyang were divided by Jiang and Mei; He also served as the commander of the two battalions, but the actual control of the two battalions was also in the hands of Jiang and Mei.

In addition to the entertainment that cannot be refused, Chen Zifang likes to live in the courtyard in the east of the city to practice qi, but he leads his wife and children back to Wanling to meet Chen Ang during the New Year's Festival.

Chen Ang would copy a point of his practice experience every time, so that he could bring it back to Yongyang for study.

Chen Zifang knew Chen Ang's intentions, and was willing to be set aside by Jiang Mei and the others, and devoted himself to studying the Dan Xi Technique, but he also made great progress in two years.

When Chen Zifang saw Xu Ruyu's appointment, he couldn't help but be stunned. Some time ago, it was rumored that Xu Ruyu was coming to Yongyang, but there was no trace of him, and now it is rumored that he went to Southern Fujian, but he came to Yongyang. Chen Zifang thought of the stubborn child back then, smiled slightly, and thought: If it weren't for the clan law, I would have helped him, but now that I have been hollowed out, I have no power to stop him. Let the family lead the fast horse and go to Jiangfu.

Chen Zifang rode across the dusty long street, turned into Biqing Lane, and saw a man walking out of Jiangfu, and saw the mark of Shen Mansion embroidered on his sleeve, and couldn't help but be surprised: Shen De couldn't help but be surprised that it was impossible for Shen De to know Xu Ruyu's whereabouts before me.

The concierge of the Jiang Mansion came out, still holding Shen Deqian's prayer post in his hand. Chen Zifang glanced at it, looked up and wrote "Xu Gong Ruyu". thought: How did Shen Deqian know that Ru Yu came to Yongyang? With doubts, he walked with the porter to the inner courtyard.

Zhang Zhongdao had not yet left Jiangfu, and when he saw Chen Zifang coming in, he said, "Ru Yu came to the city yesterday evening, and the news has not yet spread. Seeing the greeting post in the concierge's hand, he snatched it over, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Shen Deqian is very interesting, come, come, I will lead you to see Ru Yu and Youli." ”

Chen Zifang didn't know what he meant by Shen Deqian's interest, so he dragged him into the courtyard.

Xu Ruyu heard the voice, walked out of the door with Youli's hand, and said, "Brother Zifang, this is Humble Jing Youli. ”

Chen Zifang and Xu Ruyu can be regarded as the friendship of the same family, and Yu Li bowed, and Chen Zifang also accepted it calmly.

Chen Zifang said: "If you come for the wedding of Shuyu, I hope that you will return with a foolish way." ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Could it be that someone from the Chen clan will be unfavorable to me?" ”

"Although the valve has put down the affairs of the clan, the prestige is the same, and no one in the Chen clan has the courage to be unfavorable to you for the time being. In the letter he wrote to me a few days ago, he told me that if I meet you in Yongyang, I advise you not to go to Wanling at this time, and that he will go to see the bride with his wife when he has time. ”

Xu Ruyu was secretly ashamed, she had been married to Youli for nearly two years, and she didn't have time to visit her godfather and godmother. Seeing that she was still called a bride, Youli smiled and said: "How can there be a reason for the bride to sit and wait, you can't go to Wanling, I will go to watch the ceremony before." ”

Zhang Zhongdao said on the side: "The personnel who will go to watch the ceremony in Yongyang have been decided, led by Master Yun, Yu Nuo will go over for Ling Tian, Mei Yingxue will represent the Mei family, and the others will not leave Yongyang." ”

Chen Zifang thought for a while and said, "This arrangement is very good, but the safety of Youli on the way is very important, and it is necessary to draw people from the reserve camp." ”

Zhang Zhongdao smiled and said: "Out of Yongyang, there is a Fang Su to respond to Biling, there should be no big problem, but there are no two hundred guards and entourage, it really swept away our Yongyang's prestige, and the reserve battalion must draw out manpower." ”

Fang Su served as the governor of Piling Mansion, passing through the territory of Piling, the safety was naturally guaranteed, but Fang Su and Chen Zhengzheng had many disagreements, if he was stranded in Wanling to report on his work, it would be difficult to guarantee the return, in order to prevent the return of the six days of time from encountering unfavorable, everyone resolutely let the people who went to Yongyang to watch the ceremony bring enough guards. The Mei clan asked Mei Yingxue to go to watch the ceremony, also considering the safety of guarding Youli and Yunuo.

Jiang Lingtian came from the backyard, greeted Chen Zifang, and said, "Shen Deqian sent a prayer post?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao handed the greeting note to Ru Yu and said, "Shen Deqian is so sure that Ru Yu is in Yongyang, and it is the Changhe Gang who wants to make peace with him." ”

"He knew that he couldn't hide it, so he turned against the customer, so that we can't accuse him of colluding with the Changhe Gang."

Chen Zifang saw that Zhang Zhongdao and Jiang Lingtian were talking about Yongyang's secrets, and he was about to retire, but Zhang Zhongdao stopped him and said, "When did you say that I wanted to hide it from you?" ”

Chen Zifang said: "I have no gap with Ru Yu. After a soothing tone, he said, "It's better not to hear about it, so as not to make it difficult for me to ask him." ”

Zhang Zhongdao let go of Chen Zifang and let him leave.

Xu Ruyu sighed, was silent for a long time, and said: "Zifang also has Zifang's difficulties, but he has been so idle for a long time, and he has indeed wronged him." ”

Zhang Zhongdao had very few people in Wanling, and it was rare for Chen Zifang to vote for his temper, but he had no chance to work together, so he couldn't help but hate and hate, and looked at the direction where Chen Zifang left with angry eyes.

Jiang Lingtian didn't have any troubles from the two of them, pinched the post in his hand, and said, "Shen Deqian is really good, can you see the details of his hand?" ”

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said: "Three years ago, all the Yongyang families fell into the trap of Xu Bodang and Gongliang Youqin, but the Shen family was able to stand alone, which shows that Shen Deqian's insight is clear, but he is indecisive, and it is an indisputable fact that he has missed many good opportunities for the rise of the Shen family. ”

Jiang Youli asked on the side: "Shen Deqian is good at planning, I have heard a lot of people mention it before I came to Yongyang; It's just that he can send a prayer post early in the morning, so how can it be said that he is indecisive? ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "It is precisely because he is indecisive in his heart that he wants to meet with me to help him make a decision." Zhong Dao, you go back to the camp and go to the Shen Mansion for me to return to see you, saying that I and Xiao Bieli have a fight, and the Dan breath has fluctuated, and it is being resolved in retreat. ”

"He's got a lot of face." Zhang Zhongdao said, "Isn't it even more hesitant for you to do this. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The longer he hesitates, the less easily he makes a decision, and it is better for him to hesitate for a little longer." Zhang Zhongdao saw that he couldn't escape this errand, so he left in a muffled voice. Jiang Lingtian smiled: "You asked him to be a verbal messenger, how could he not complain?" ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "If it weren't for Zhongdao or you going, how could I show that I attach importance to his Xu family?" ”

Jiang Lingtian said with a smile: "If I go, Shen Deqian is still hesitant, I should regard it as Shen Deqian's contempt for me." ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly and did not answer, acquiescing to Jiang Lingtian's statement. Jiang Lingtian continued: "The Shen family has set a trap to get into, Mei Tierui is still having a headache about how to coerce the Shen family, it seems that this news can't be told to him too early." ”

As he was talking, he saw Mei Tierui striding in, and said as he walked: "Jun Xiaoyun and others entered the city from the north gate in the early morning, entered the Shen Mansion, and have not come out yet, haha, Shen Deqian has set up a cage by himself." But seeing Xu Ruyu and Jiang Lingtian looking at him calmly, he asked in surprise, "You already know the news." ”

Jiang Lingtian handed Shen Deqian's greeting note to him, smiled silently, and looked at his surprised expression.

Shen Deqian sent Zhang Zhongdao to the gate of the mansion and stood there. The porter thought that the head of the house was particularly polite to this person, but after a while, he saw that the head of the house was still standing there, and Zhang Zhongdao's figure had already turned the corner of the street, only to know that the head of the house was distracted.

The sound of sweeping dust in front of the mansion woke Shen Deqian up. Xu Ruyu refused to see it, but asked Zhang Zhongdao, an important figure in the Xu family, to explain in person.

Shen Yi stood in a corner, watched Shen De sneak into the mansion gate, and asked, "What is Zhang Zhongdao talking about?" Zhang Zhongdao's cultivation did not allow him to snoop and listen, although Shen Yi was full of doubts, he had to wait until he left before he came to the front yard. According to the system, Shen Yi should be on duty in Beicheng at this time.

Shen Deqian smiled bitterly: "Xu Ruyu treats my Shen family as a chicken rib. ”

Shen Yi said indignantly: "My Shen family has three thousand elites stationed in Beicheng, how can he take it?" ”

Shen Deqian sighed secretly, at this time, he was sitting on the elite soldiers but raising the flag uncertainly, which inevitably made Xu Ruyu regard him as a pawn that could be protected and discarded, but he did not ignore the existence of the elite soldiers of the Shen clan as Shen Yi thought, looked up at Shen Yi, and asked: "Yi'er, you told your father, are you so rich or famous?" ”

Shen Yi didn't know why his father suddenly asked such a question, and he didn't think of his intentions for a while, let alone how to answer his words, and asked in a low voice: "What is the difference between wealth and fame?" ”

"Life is like a white horse, so the rich and noble, but accumulate money for entertainment, so that their children and grandchildren will not be poor." Jun Xiaoyun walked out of the backyard and said loudly, "Those who seek fame and fame only know the vanity of people, and they want to show their fame in future generations." ”

Shen Deqian saw Jun Xiaoyun coming out, and he couldn't hide the matter of Zhang Zhongdao's visit, and said, "Brother Jun knows that I have made up my mind, do you want to see Xu Ruyu?" ”

Jun Xiaoyun took a step forward, tilted his head slightly and said: "I waited for a hurried meeting with him on the river, but I didn't know that he was the world-famous Qingfeng General at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel that there is something different about him, such a character, I can't see him again, isn't it a regret in life?" ”

Shen Deqian saw Jun Xiaoyun say this, his heart was wide, he turned his head to look at Shen Yi, who was still full of hesitation, sighed, and said: "After the Qingjiang Water Revenue organized the remnants of the Qingjiang Water Village, the navy army actually exceeded 10,000 people, and there were more than 300 warships. It's just that after the Battle of Fuzhou, Xu Ruyu used a considerable part of the naval army as a transport army, going back and forth between Qingjiang and Jiangjin and Yongyang. After a pause, he said: "Zhang Jidao and Chen Shuyu's wedding, his brother Zhang Zhongdao may not be present, how could Xu Ruyu go to Wanling for this matter?" The destination of his trip was Yongyang. ”

"If he hadn't been at the right time, how could he have expected our plans?"

Shen Deqian saw that he still hadn't thought it through, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking: If Yi'er intrigues with others, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by others, and it is still a good land and a market, which is an immovable property, and future generations will not suffer from poverty. Thinking about it in his heart, he was not afraid of Jun Xiaoyun's presence, and said: "If it is not for the right meeting, Xu Ruyu is here from the Yongyang Water Camp." Xu Ruyu painstakingly arranged to prevent the Chen clan from infiltrating Yongyang. He could have rebuilt the Yongyang Water Camp a long time ago, but he temporarily ignored it, and took care of the Qingjiang affairs, allowing the Yongyang Naval Navigation to be interrupted for two years. As a result, the Xu faction has risen steadily, while the collateral forces have suffered setbacks one after another. Regardless of whether Yongyang's non-Xu forces can work together, even if Xu Daofu, Zhang Shi, Wan Rong, Gong Hao and others are entangled together, they may not be able to bring down Xu Ruyu. ”

Jun Xiaoyun knew that it was the appearance of his group that prompted Shen Deqian to make such a quick decision to throw himself into Xu Ruyu. Although the Shen clan can still be neutral at this time, because of the secret contact with the Changhe Gang, it will be regarded by Xu Ruyu as a hostile neutral.

The Zhu family was unable to block the Qingjiang waterway in Liyang, and the warships of the Qingjiang Water Battalion could reach Yongyang City in five days.

Shen Deqian continued: "In addition to Xu Ruyu's military art of war, in addition to family learning, he also learned from Wu Chu, how can we forget about Qinghe Chong, Qingzhou ghost riding, and Qingfeng Jing riding?" Although the Qingjiang cavalry battalion only has more than 200 war horses, it still has the establishment of reading power, and the reserve battalion piles more than 100 clay horses in a corner of the barracks for the soldiers to practice getting on and off their horses, which shows that Xu Ruyu is still extremely eager to have a cavalry battalion system. However, all this can only be implemented after the opening of Yongyang's Hainan Airlines. ”

Jun Xiaoyun sighed: "Listening to Brother Shen's analysis, Xiaoyun can also understand that Xu Ruyu is really strong, and it is really difficult for anyone to hide his edge. Xu Ruyu rebuilt the Yongyang Water Camp and reopened the HNA Airlines, then Gongliang Youqin will always be his threat, Xu Boying's visit to Southern Fujian, Xu Ruyu's appearance in Yongyang, or seeking the opportunity to completely annihilate the Puji bandits, dealing with you and me is just his leisure pastime. ”

Shen Deqian saw that he was excited, and said comfortingly: "Why does Brother Jun need to give up on himself like this? Xu Ruyu's strength lies in the fact that he is the first to plan for the enemy, such as being good at layout, if we want to win a decisive game with him in the middle game, we have already lost the opportunity. ”

"Two years ago, he left Yongyang, and he made all kinds of preparations for today, and he saw his methods. The world can compete with him, but there are only two or three sons. Jun Xiaoyun said, turned around and returned to the cabin, and his figure was a little sluggish.
