Chapter 168: Countermeasures
Hippopotamus Galaxy, Planet Minghai.
On an island called Yuzhou, in a luxurious villa located on a cliff near the sea, Liu Yi and others were dining with Old Man Tang.
Liu Yi and the three of them only arrived here yesterday, and in order to adapt to the climate and environment here, they had to stay in the conditioning cabin for another whole day, and only after their bodies were completely adapted did they start to move freely.
Along the way, the three of them spent most of their time on the mail boat, and the continuous flying over the hill made the three of them basically cut off contact with the outside world.
It is not unreasonable for Mr. Tang to choose to recuperate here, this planet called Minghai is not only covered by the ocean for most of the place, but also because of the abundant marine life that provides abundant oxygen, the oxygen content of the atmosphere here is higher than that of many planets, and many people regard this place as a holiday destination.
When the old man saw that the three of them had returned to normal, he ordered someone to prepare a delicacy immediately, which was regarded as a dust wash for the three of them.
According to the etiquette of the Tang family, you can't talk during dinner, but there is only the old man here, and Liu Yi really can't bear the anxiety in his heart, so he asked about the teacher Yuwensong during the meal.
"Old man, do you mean that my teacher is likely to die at the hands of Gao Ban?" Liu Yi asked with a puzzled face.
Old Man Tang nodded and said, "That's how I heard that, not only your teacher, but also a large number of scholars and technicians have been secretly arrested and have been detained in secret places. ”
"Why are they doing this?"
"I don't know exactly why, but if I'm not mistaken, I think I want those real military secrets." Old Man Tang analyzed: "Although Gao Ban has mastered the power, there are some secrets that not everyone in power knows, and some secrets may not be fully understood by His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi fell silent, the possibility that Old Man Tang said does exist, the teacher Yu Wensong has been engaged in the development and research of the imperial capital's defense system, and naturally has mastered many important military secrets, Gao Ban wants to master all these secrets, and the most direct way is to get first-hand information from relevant researchers.
Seeing that Liu Yi didn't speak, Old Man Tang knew that he must be sad for the teacher's death, so he explained: "Although your teacher was unfortunately killed, it shows that he is a person with integrity, and he refuses to cooperate with a person like Gao Ban, as his student, you can feel proud and proud, not everyone can meet such a good teacher......
Liu Yi nodded and didn't speak, Tang Jie hurriedly poured Liu Yi a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi took the wine glass, and without looking at it, he tilted his neck and poured the whole glass of wine, and a hot and spicy wine came up along the esophagus, and Liu Yi felt that the depression in his chest was slightly reduced.
In fact, after traveling on the road for almost two months, Liu Yi has basically accepted the teacher's death, but the biggest regret is that he didn't see the teacher's last face.
Whenever he was lying in bed, Liu Yi would unconsciously think of the day he left from the imperial capital, if he had gone to the teacher first, maybe he could have rescued him......
However, it is too late to regret it now, and the only thing Liu Yi can do is to set up his family for the teacher so that they will not be hurt in any way.
Liu Yi knew that the teacher's family lived on the green crown star of the Peacock Galaxy, which was a planet with a primitive environment, a very sparse population, and very backward basic conditions.
Originally, Liu Yi's idea was to take the teacher's family to Yaqiu, but when Liu Yi came to Minghai, he felt that the living environment here was better, and with Old Man Tang here, he could also help take care of it, so it was better to take the teacher's family here to live.
Liu Yi told Old Man Tang his thoughts, and the old man immediately agreed, whether it was a residence or everything needed for life, he would arrange it for Liu Yi, so that he could rest assured.
Liu Yi told Old Man Tang that he would pay for all the expenses, which was a little bit of affection for the teacher. Old Man Tang understood Liu Yi's mood, so he didn't say anything polite to him, saying that he would send the bill to Liu Yi when the time came.
After arranging these, Liu Yi had no worries, and planned to accompany Tang Jie and Shangguan Qi to have a good time here for a few days, which was a small vacation.
After dinner in the morning, the three of them were about to go to the sea to play, and Liu Yi suddenly received a request for a video call.
"Lu Gang, what's the matter?" Liu Yi asked.
On the shore not far away, Tang Jie and Shangguanqi were about to board the cruise ship, but they saw Liu Yi talking to someone, pacing back and forth unconsciously, looking quite restless.
An hour later, a video conference was held simultaneously on Ming Haixing and Yaqiu Star. Liu Yi, Tang Jie, Shangguan Qi and Old Man Tang sat in the living room of the villa, while the projection appeared Ke Rin, Tang Lun and Lu Gang who remained in Yaqiu.
Seeing that all the people had arrived, Liu Yi, as the host of the meeting, first said, "Ke Rin, you can tell me about the current situation first." ”
So Ke Rin told all the things that happened in Yaqiu during this time, and then Lu Gang added his information, and finally Tang Lun introduced the current situation in Yaqiu's business world.
After listening, Liu Yi and Old Man Tang's faces became solemn, while Shangguan Qi and Tang Jie were full of anger.
In fact, Liu Yi had already held back his stomach and wanted to say something, but after all, there was Old Man Tang here, and some words were not good to say in front of his old man.
As a result, the old man spoke first: "It's a pity, you missed a great opportunity, if you really do what that little brother said, I'm afraid there won't be so much trouble now." The old man pointed at Ke Rin as he spoke.
Lu Gang and Tang Lun were taken aback, they didn't expect the old man to actually support Ke Rin's approach, this is not like the old man's usual steady and witty style.
Liu Yi also added: "The old man is actually quite right, you should have done it when Ding Kai first arrived in Yaqiu, even if you really kill him at that time, no one in the imperial capital will take care of it." ”
Why is that? Am I doing something wrong? Lu Gang asked puzzled.
"Alas...... Colonel Lu, you are too honest, in fact, you should be able to guess how Ding Kai came to be an official, an official like him, do you think those people who are forbidden will really support him? If he was willing to support him, why would he go to mercenaries to help? It's a pity......" said the old man with great regret.
Ke Rin hurriedly said: "Then I'll go and kill him now, anyway, the mercenaries stay in Iron Valley City, I'll take a few more people, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to kill him!" ”
"It's late now, the mercenaries are here, even if most of them are in Iron Valley City, Ding Kai must have enough people around him to protect him, not to mention that there are already some people who have been co-opted by him, and forcing the situation will only intensify the situation immediately." Liu Yi said.
"So what do we do now?" Kirin asked.
Liu Yi looked at Old Man Tang, the old man didn't say anything, Liu Yi understood that the old man was letting himself call the shots.
So Liu Yi said: "The best way at present is to stabilize Ding Kai first, don't leave him any excuses, I guess he should plan to restore the government next, and then abolish the temporary committee." As soon as the committee was abolished, it was time for him to think of squeezing out all those who opposed him. ”
"Since you've guessed his plan, can't you stop it?" Lu Gang asked.
Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm not in Yaqiu now, even if I understand Ding Kai's plan, I can't deal with it." ”
"What can we do? You tell us, we'll do it for you! Kirin asked.
Liu Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "Ke Rin's previous approach was right, insisting on not letting the mercenaries enter the city, but the next step is to let them in first. ”
"Isn't that a wolf in the house? That ghost mastiff group is not a good thing, and it used to belong to the notorious lord in the underworld. Kirin reminded.
"It doesn't matter, let them in, so that the people of Yaqiu can know who Ding Kai recruited, and the people will only hate them even more." Liu Yi explained.
"Haha, that's it!" Ke Rin smiled: "Okay, I'll go tell Ding Kai later." ”
"Don't go, let Lu Gang tell Ding Kai and sell him a favor by the way." Liu Yi said.
Lu Gang was stunned for a moment, then understood what Liu Yi meant, and said, "You want me to get close to Ding Kai?" ”
"It's not close, just maintain the relationship with him first, so that he doesn't make more moves." Liu Yi said.
"Okay, I see." Lu Gang nodded.
Liu Yi said to Ke Rin again: "When that regiment comes to Yaqiu City, you have to keep an eye on it, once they make a mess, they will be arrested immediately, Ding Kai is busy buying people's hearts now, and it is not good for him to force his head after you catch those mercenaries, just take this opportunity to reduce the strength of the mercenaries." ”
"Hey...... Don't worry, I won't make them feel better, don't forget, the strong dragon doesn't crush the head snake. Kirin said with some excitement.
Finally, Liu Yi turned to Tang Lun and said, "Mr. Tang, there is something I want to ask you. ”
Tang Lun looked at his father first, and saw that the old man had his eyes slightly closed, completely closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Say it." Tang Lun nodded.
"I hope you will accept Ding Kai's offer to join his advisory board." Liu Yi smiled.
Tang Lun also smiled and said, "You want me to be an undercover agent?" ”
"It is in this way that the most critical thing now is the business community, as long as most of the companies are still on our side, Ding Kai will not dare to rashly implement his next plan."
"What do you want to know?"
"The more detailed, the better."
Tang Lun said: "If you want Ding Kai to trust me, I'm afraid you have to make some moves, otherwise the relationship between our two companies is so close, it will be difficult for Ding Kai to believe me." ”
"Let Mr. Tang take care of this, and I will let Jieyi's people cooperate with you." Liu Yi nodded and said.
