Yang Zhi asked himself, although he is not a modest gentleman, but he is not a womanizer who "fraternizes" indiscriminately. It turned out that scolding and screaming at Zhu Linger was completely out of the needs of the struggle situation. Now that she is her own subordinate, she is already an older young woman who has not yet married in this era, so of course she will save some face in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

To tell the truth, "I said just now that it was just a joke to provoke the girl to wait for her opponents. In the future, you and I will not be friends and enemies, so naturally we will no longer be so disrespectful to girls. ”

Zhu Ling'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head and stopped answering.

Chen Wu, who rarely spoke, sighed: "I heard Xiao Qi say yesterday that Master Hou still has the advantage of one enemy and four enemies in Jinan, and I still don't believe it." Today, I fought with Hou Ye in person, and I realized that I was not only unjustly defeated, but also benefited a lot. ”

If you are not convinced, how can you be willing to listen to me? Yang Zhi smiled dryly: "If I don't do my best in front of you, how can I survive until now?" Brother Chen doesn't need to pat me on the back. ”

Liu Erwuzi was still muttering to himself: "Why can't I stop Hou Ye's knife?" ”

Yang Zhi took the three of them back to the Qin branch, only to see that the front hall was brightly lit, Qin Jiaoyang and Zhang Bohu were safely seated, and the other four people were pacing restlessly in front of them, the sloppy Taoist Shiyi was also in the ranks, and the other three were very faced. The appearance of the four people is no different from the three brought back by Yang Zhi, they are all covered in half-dry and half-wet oil, which looks quite funny.

Yang Zhi and Zhang Bohu looked at each other from afar, and nodded with a smile.

Zhu Ling'er rushed forward and said in shock: "Sir, third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, you ...... How is this the case? ”

"Seventh sister, are you convinced this time?" One of the tall and thin men smiled bitterly: "My fourth brother and sixth brother and I are worried that you still don't know the height of the sky, and if you provoke the Hou Ye, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed." It is to listen to Mr. Xinyi's words. I want to come here to restrain Qin Gongzi as a hostage, in case of emergency. I don't want Hou Ye to take precautions, so I will design and capture this Mr. Zhang. ”

"Huh?! So why ......? ”

Mr. Yi replied in annoyance: "Xiao Qi, you don't know, Mr. Zhang forced us to take the poisoned tea and let us go." He and Qin Gongzi voluntarily put their lives into our hands to gamble with each other, betting that Hou Ye will win and you will not die. …… Mr. Zhang wins! ”

Zhang Bohu smiled: "It should be said that Brother Yang won." If it weren't for Brother Yang's sincere solicitation, would you have a life? Why did Zhang and Brother Qin gamble with their lives? ”

The third, fourth and sixth of the seven joys are the three people who confronted Yang Zhi at the Jinan Mansion. Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Six of your seven joys have come, plus Mr. Yi." What I want to say has been made clear, and you and where to go, listen to it. ”

The old man said angrily: "Master Hou, I intended to vote for you in Jinan that day, and it was a sincere solicitation, why did I let Mr. Zhang set such a vicious trap today?" Why are you forcing me to take poisoned tea? ”

Zhang Bohu refuted: "Intentionally like-minded? Could it be that this benevolent brother thinks that Brother Yang can pinch it? Having a knife in your hand is not only to kill, but also to defend against people! If you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you fall into my trap? Brother Ren is unharmed now, how can I see that I am vicious? Brother Qin and I put our lives in the hands of you, what is wrong with asking you to drink some poisonous tea? ”

Mr. Yi said stupidly: "You used the excuse to lead me to see Qin Gongzi. When you enter the room, the grease is poured down! If you were allowed to use those rockets, gillnets, and poison nails, would we still be able to live? If not, how can we be coerced by you to drink poisoned tea? Isn't that vicious? ”

Zhang Bohu said coldly: "If it weren't for Brother Yang's good deeds, I wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to take my life." It's a shame that you're still a killer, how can you be so cowardly? ”

Zhu Ling'er suddenly realized: "Sir, sixth brother, this Mr. Zhang and Master Hou are the same style, you just scared him!" ”

"Frightened by him? …… Now that Master Hou is back, you can help us detoxify it first! ”

"There was nothing in that room but oil. As for this poisonous tea. Or I'll detoxify you for Brother Zhang! Qin Jiaoyang took a sip of the teapot and said with a smile: "Words are poisonous, tea is not poisonous." ”

Only then did the four of them realize that they had been tricked around by a powerless young man with just a sharp mouth. It's hard to describe the feelings in my heart. Mr. Yi was stunned and sighed: "Mr. Zhang is really scheming and daring!" ”

Zhang Bohu smiled faintly: "Mr. is too famous." If you come here to try to hold Brother Qin hostage, it means that you are afraid of Brother Yang and want to ask for life. Since he wanted to ask for life, he was naturally reluctant to die with me. ”

He turned around and asked, "What does Brother Yang think of Zhang?" ”

Yang Zhi smiled and asked, "What does Brother Zhang think of Yang?" ”

When Yang Zhi and Qin Jiaoyang and Zhang Bohu made a plan to trap Qixi, they had an exam question with Zhang Bohu. It turned out that both of them responded with perfect marks, and they looked at each other and laughed.

What else can Mr. Yi and the other four say? immediately expressed their willingness to follow Yang Zhi. Everyone re-reported their names according to the rank of Qixi: Liu Er, Chang San, Wen Si, Chen Wu, Zeng Liu, and Zhu Qi.

Mr. Yi and Liu Er are the same brothers, and they have been in contact with each other in the periphery of Qixi. The eldest lady Jin is said to have other important matters. After the processing is completed, we will discuss whether to vote. Yang Zhi never asked a word about Qixi's specific surname, who he was hired to kill him and Bai Xinglang. After everyone and Yang Zhi met the master and servant again, he just asked Qin Jiaoyang to send someone to arrange food and lodging, and he was also ready to wash and rest.

Everyone was stunned on the spot with complicated expressions, and Zhu Ling'er couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, you don't know anything about our previous details, can you really trust us like this?" ”

"How can you be trusted? What if you can't believe it? Yang Zhi smiled disappreliantly: "I have already said that I can neither tie you with a rope, nor can I guard you all the time like a child, so why bother asking for trouble?" Making friends is better than making friends, and I treat you as friends, and I think you treat me as well. Everyone has secrets in their hearts that are inconvenient for outsiders, and I am the same. I don't think being a killer is a pleasant profession, and I believe that you all have your own unspeakable secrets when you embark on this path, so why should I expose people's scars for no reason? Seven Joy has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and your reputation is both good and evil, I believe that you have your own principles and methods of doing things. What you did earlier has nothing to do with me, so why should I interfere? If it's inconvenient to interfere, why should I ask? ”

"I am a man who does not like to be constrained, and I have always been lazy. So I have only one rule here, and that is not to get along with me and the people I care about. I will naturally explain something to you. It's okay, you can do whatever you have to do. The past is just an experience, not a burden. What is past is gone, and I hope everyone will see me as a new beginning! ”

Everyone didn't seem to come back to their senses for a while, Zhu Ling'er tilted her head and asked in disbelief, "Master Hou." Are all the ...... you just said true? ”

Yang Zhi replied seriously: "Really." ”

Everyone bowed down in front of him again, and said loudly: "I am willing to follow Hou Ye to the death!" ”

said that Yang Zhizhen has no selfish intentions, it must be false. He thought about it with his toes and knew that there were too many facts about a killer organization that was unsightly. Even if you have the heart to get to the bottom of it, people won't necessarily say it. If he wants to break with the past, he will start all over again, and wiping his ass must be a difficult project, so why should he bother himself? If it is a person, it will have self-esteem, and these people will not be helpless, and they will not easily ask him for the trouble they have caused before. ――If you deliberately sell generously, everyone will be relaxed!

Yang Zhi explained that the first task of Qixi was that except for Mr. Yi, who still returned to work in the teahouse to act as his eyes and ears, the others must learn to sail and sail as soon as possible and become familiar with the water. If you want money and things, just go to the second young master of the Qin family. I'm still stepping up my own malignment. As for how you go about learning, that's your own business.

And the calm and calm Qin Jiaoyang probably fell into the love network, and actually asked him a very idiotic question: You accepted Qixi as a subordinate, do you want to give an explanation to the Bai father and daughter?

Zhang Bohu replied very simply instead of Yang Zhi: The Bai family should think about how to give Brother Yang an explanation. Brother Yang accepted Qixi as his subordinate, it stands to reason that Bai Xinglang should burn high incense, if he still wants to seek revenge against them, unless he thinks he has lived a long life!

Winter is coming after late autumn, and the same is true for ancient and modern times, and a wave of business opportunities before the Chinese New Year will also come. The weather is cold day by day, and the number of merchants from all over the world is increasing day by day. It was October 29th. According to Yang Zhi's request, Qin Jiaoyang and Bai Ranbing prepared a fast boat that could carry about 30 people, and all the utensils and manpower on the ship should be properly equipped.

According to Yang Zhi's original idea, he planned to control the Great Xia Sea first. After repeated discussions with Zhang Bohu for several days. In the end, Zhang Bohu's suggestion was adopted: Penglai held the choke point of Bohai Bay and the Yellow Sea, and prospered because it became the primary port for the southward movement of rare mountain goods from Beiyan. It is said that things are scarce and expensive, and we must first pinch the source of deciding whether it is "rare" or "more"! Let's start with the purging of the Beiyan Sea area!

The reason why Yang Zhi adopted Zhang Bohu's suggestion was because this old man didn't seem to have any feelings for his homeland, and on the one hand, he did have a point. On the other hand, Zhang Bohu himself is a native of Jizhou, Beiyan, and is more familiar with the scenery of Beiyan and the Bohai Sea.

For the sake of prudence, Yang Zhi decided to take Zhang Bohu and Zhu Ling'er and other six people to sail out to sea for a few days, so as to understand the sea conditions in advance and let the ship have a run-in process of adapting to each other.

This day was November 3, the 25th year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, and Yang Zhi informed everyone to go to sea the next day. Qin Jiaoyang smiled mysteriously: "Brother Yang, today I want to tell you two big news. ”

“…… What's the big news? Still two? ”

Qin Jiaoyang handed over a narrow piece of paper: "You read this Jinling military newspaper first." ”

On October 29, the 25th year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, Jinling City, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was broken, and the captain of the vanguard unit under the Wuwei general Geng Jin was brave and good at fighting, becoming the first person in the Xia army to step into Jinling City, and was promoted to a partial general on the same day. On the same day, Zheng Tianci, a heavy general of the Xia army who led the army to conquer Jinling, plundered his troops and killed Wei Feiyang. After Wei Feiyang brazenly suppressed the mutiny of Zheng Tianci's troops, he hung his head at the Jinling City Gate to show the public. On November 1, the emperor issued a holy decree that stunned countless people: Jin Fengwei Feiyang was a brave general, and commanded 100,000 troops to defend Jinling.

It is not difficult for Yang Zhi to imagine how thrilling the day of October 29 was for Wei Feiyang, who was only 16 years old! I couldn't help but praise the case excitedly: "It's really a tiger out of the door!" Good fourth brother! Attaboy! ”

Qin Jiaoyang handed over another two-finger-wide note: "Look at the flying pigeon biography that Mrs. Sister-in-law transferred from Brother Chang'anto." ”

Shen Yu's family letter? Yang Zhi unfolded the note and looked at it, sure enough, it was Shen Yu's familiar handwriting, although there was only a concise sentence, but it made him so happy that he almost fainted on the spot: Xianggong, you want to be a father!
