Chapter 024: Rebellion is Justified (2)
After the rain, the sky cleared, and the clear blue sky drew a beautiful rainbow.
At the foot of the hillside, in a few rows of simple wooden houses, with a soft 'creak', a wooden door was pushed open, revealing a dark and thin man, who was shirtless, wearing a pair of coarse cloth shorts, dragging a pair of old cloth shoes to the door, stretched out in the bright sunshine, and then shouted excitedly:
"The rain has stopped, and the sky is clear. Brothers, the rain has stopped, don't sleep lazy, get up and get started! ”
After a while, several figures swished out of the wooden house, all of them were disheveled, and their mouths kept muttering, "This kid, is it lying to us again~~, it's really sunny!" ”
There was another burst of cheers, and then, everyone put on their clothes and came to the shore in a hurry, and sure enough, cargo ships loaded with rocks were slowly coming.
"Brothers, let's get started!"
The shouts full of joy and strength sounded at the same time on Peach Blossom Island and Xiaoyao Island, which had been silent for several days, and the workers were energetically carrying crowbars and bamboo baskets, talking and laughing while working, and the two islands were suddenly full of laughter.
"Heh~~ You're quite lively here."
Hearing the lively sound of the horn outside, Wang Jinyu also woke up, put on a homely round-necked robe, and after a simple freshening, he came to the courtyard and took a deep breath, the air was full of freshness after the rain and the unique saltiness of the sea. He shook his neck a little tight, and raised his eyes to see his little sister who had returned from exercising in the back mountain.
"Yes, the workers work very hard, and they often get up before dawn to work, and wake up my brother."
Wang Qifang wiped her sweat, it had been raining a few days ago, and she didn't go to the back of the mountain to exercise, but after practicing for a while today, she was really tired.
Wang Jinyu shook his head: "No, I woke up a long time ago, but I thought it was raining and didn't want to get up, until I heard the shouts of the workers, I didn't know the sun was out." Hehe, the sky is clear, and it's really good weather. ”
"Well, it's good that the rain has stopped, otherwise, the Yellow River will flood again." Wang Qifang walked up to her brother and chatted with him until she came to the back garden, where the brother and sister sat down in the pavilion and continued: "Is there any movement over there?" ”
'Over there' is the code word for their brother and sister, referring to the Chivalrous League.
In the current Great Zhou, drought and flooding, the affected areas from north to south, the imperial court will definitely be tired of disaster relief, disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction, and have no time to take care of other things. Moreover, according to the practice of officialdom, it is very likely that the funds for disaster relief will be misappropriated, and at that time, the victims will not be able to receive timely relief, which will inevitably intensify social contradictions.
Li Jingtian and the others, who have been planning for so long, probably will not let go of such a good opportunity.
"No, no, to be precise, I don't know," Wang Jinyu's eyes fell on the lotus flower in the lotus pond in front of him, and said lightly: "Since I returned to Qingyuan to mourn, I have rarely received news from the capital or the main rudder——"
"They quarantined you?" Wang Qifang paused, her mind turned slightly, she thought of a possibility, and asked worriedly: "Brother, they won't suspect you, right?" Or do you want to give up? ”
Although they have been planning to break away from the Chivalrous Alliance, they are not abandoned, after all, taking the initiative to quit is completely different from being an outcast.
Because of an organization like the Chivalry League, 'abandoned sons' are equal to 'waste children', and there is no need to continue to exist at all.
"That's not it," Wang Jinyu heard the worry in her sister's tone, turned her head, looked at her with a smile, and said: "The Chivalry League is used to being cautious, since I don't have the identity to cover work, I naturally can't continue to work, so I can only lie dormant like an ordinary person." To ensure that information is not leaked, organizations do not share critical intelligence with a dormant person. Therefore, I don't know what Li Jingtian is planning and what the Chivalry Alliance is doing. ”
"Oh, that's it, it scares me to death," Wang Qifang breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest exaggeratedly, and said, "I'm really worried that they will do something extreme for the sake of secrecy." ”
Isn't it often said that only the dead don't divulge secrets?
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm just dormant now, not given up, there are some small things, they will still look for me." Wang Jinyu rubbed Wang Qifang's hair, with a hint of inexplicable emotion, and said: "For example, a few days ago, the helmsman of Qingzhou sent me a message, asking me to grow more corn, and take advantage of the drought to buy more land and recruit refugees. ”
"I know this, Li Jingtian also wrote to me," Wang Qifang threw away the hazy impression in her heart, and tried to persuade herself to treat Li Jingtian as a stranger, whew, it seemed to have some effect, she said lightly, "In addition, let me find a way to buy Yazhou Island, and then reclaim it according to the method of building Xiaoyao Island." ”
"Yazhou?" Wang Jinyu squinted his eyes and thought about it, suddenly thought of something, looked at Wang Qifang with wide eyes, and said, "Didn't he enclose most of the land in Liaodong, how can he pay it back?" Don't? Hey, no, it's impossible! ”
Wang Qifang may not know that since she told Li Jingtian that the Liaodong region could be settled and developed, the high-level of the Xia Ke League sent many secret agents to Liaodong, and after detecting the place, they recognized her statement.
Subsequently, Li Jingtian aimed at developing the base area, and controlled most of Liaodong in his own hands through various means. It can be said that almost all of the huge land and forests outside the Guan, except for the Liaodong Guard Station at the border, belong to Li Jingtian.
Although it was not explicitly stated, the high-level leaders of the Chivalry League knew that the Liaodong region would be the rear of the imperial family surnamed Li to help them counterattack the Great Zhou and restore Li Tang. There are even pessimistic people who think that if they really can't recover the territory of Guannai and Jiangnan, they will establish a country in Liaodong, demarcate the border with the Great Zhou, and develop together, without disturbing each other.
Now, the Xia Ke League and the families who support the royal family surnamed Li are vigorously developing in accordance with the goals planned by Li Jingtian, and I believe that in less than three or five years, it will definitely become a new world no less than that of Guannai.
Everything is developing well, why did Li Jingtian go to the south end to buy what Yazhou? Is it the three holes of the cunning rabbit?
No, if Li Jingtian wants to build Yazhou into a second base, he will not let Wang Qifang come forward, but will be led by the Chivalry League and send the henchmen of the Chivalry League to prepare for the construction.
Besides, Liaodong is in the north and Yazhou is in the south, which are fundamentally two extremes, and they cannot be connected from end to end, and they cannot be used as a retreat between each other.
"Brother, what do you mean? Why can't I understand? ”
Wang Qifang saw that Wang Jinyu's face was changing, and she didn't know what to say, she couldn't help but ask with some worry.
"Eh? It's okay, I didn't say anything. Wang Jinyu came back to his senses, looked at Wang Qifang fixedly, and admonished, "I don't know why Li Jingtian did this, but since he entrusted you, you can help him do it." Also, don't tell anyone else about this, and don't say it in front of Qingfeng and them, understand. ”
"Oh, good." Wang Qifang saw that Wang Jinyu was talking very seriously, and she hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, what kind of corn can you really eat as food?"
Wang Jinyu also felt that he was a little too serious, so he changed the subject.
"Yes, and it is drought tolerant and high-yielding, by the way, I still have good things here, I will make it for you and your sister-in-law to try at noon today."
When it comes to corn, Wang Qifang suddenly thought of the potatoes and peppers given by Shi Wensong, who have been patronizing the reclamation of land these days, and actually forgot about them, which really shouldn't be.
"What's good? Crops again? ”
Wang Jinyu was very happy when she saw her sister mentioning the shiny eyes of eating, and temporarily pressed Fang Cai's doubts to the bottom of her heart.
Spicy chicken, boiled pork slices, spicy fat sausage......
After eating the spicy and fragrant meal, Wang Qifang burst into tears - woo, I finally ate the chili pepper, and my mouth has been so light that it has no taste in the past two years.
The king of Qi on the other side was also excited with tears in his eyes, he read the letter in his hand again and again, and then handed it to his eldest son, the prince of Qi who was crowned last year.
"Father, did King Huainan agree to raise troops?"
Shizi saw his father's surprised appearance, and subconsciously guessed.
He took the letter, quickly skimmed through it, chewed the dozen or so words on it carefully, and finally slapped the table hard, "Great, with the response of King Huainan, my father's great things will be accomplished." ”
"That's right, now the entire Qi land is almost in the hands of this king, and Cheng Jiangjun, the garrison of Qidi, is also our people, just wait until the time is ripe, take Qi land in one fell swoop, and then this king and the king of Huainan will work together and directly enter the capital, haha, by then...... Wu Saburo, you just obediently go as your Taoist priest. ”
Thinking that he was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, King Qi's laughter was a little out of tune, and he laughed a few times, he turned his head and asked the second son, "Erlang, have all those heroes of the rivers and lakes arrived?" ”
"Back to my father, they have all arrived, and according to the heroes, they still have many brothers imprisoned in the prisons of thirteen counties and towns in Qidi, adding up to three or four hundred people, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and can be ten with one. If they could be rescued, they would serve their father. ”
"Okay, good, great, as long as they are willing to assist this king to ascend to the throne, and save them from prison, it is glory and wealth, high-ranking officials, and this king is willing to do it!"
As soon as King Qi heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he spoke in his heart, hey, what do you really want. What is lacking in the rebellion, it is not food or weapons, but handsome talents.
Originally, there were few people with high martial arts under him, and he was worried that after collecting those refugees in the future, there would be no one to command, but now it's okay, hehe, so many people have come at once, well, he has to choose well, and strive to find a Li Tianci out.
"Lord Qiqi, the disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court and allocated to Qi has arrived."
The father and son were discussing when a person who looked like a secret guard ran in, knelt in front of him, and replied breathlessly.
"Okay~~" King Qi heard the news, and was even more excited, he blushed, patted the back of the chair hard, stood up, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
