Chapter 35 Aiming for the Dragon Ridge and Ambition for the World to be Peaceful

Phantom Sword debuts, please do not delete!

On the desk in Pan Yu's study, there is a piece of Huai paper with the detailed topography of Yizhou spread out. Pan Yu stood at the front of the map, surrounded by the rest of the people who had come out of the secret room.

Huai paper is the best paper in China, it is durable, it can be fireproof and moisture-proof, and it is very tough, not easy to destroy, and the ink on it is not easy to fade, it is the special tribute paper of the emperors of Shenzhou in the past dynasties. So Gu Xinzheng guessed the calendar at a glance: "It's the Yizhou military aircraft map." ”

Pan Yu nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Gu Xinzheng showed a suspicious look: "It seems that the Yizhou military plane map should be in the hands of King Yi." ”

Pan Yu smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Yi trusts me very much, so he handed over this picture to me for safekeeping." ”

Hao Ba said: "King Yi doesn't understand military aircraft, so it's useless to take this picture." ”

Pan Yu glared at Hao Ba and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yan Jiutian looked at all this coldly, and said in his heart: "It seems that this Pan Yu is the real one who holds the power of the army in Qianyang, hey, the sons of the Lu family are so unsuccessful, sooner or later the country will not be guaranteed." ”

Lu Yushu interjected: "Don't discuss these irrelevant matters now. He said and faced Yi Fenghan: "You said that if you know the situation in various parts of Yizhou, you can try to help us take revenge, and now the map is here, you can take a look." ”

Yi Fenghan and Gu Mengya glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts: "This Lu Yushu is a straw bag. ”

Xia Yuying pointed to a place with undulating mountains about three hundred miles east of Qianyang: "What kind of place is this?"

Pan Yu said: "Juelongling is a bandit den. ”

Gu Mengya leaned over and nodded: "The mountains are continuous, the deep forests are high, and there are water pools that can provide water sources, so it does have the conditions for a military pass." ”

Yi Fenghan pointed to the break in the mountain range and added: "The mountain range is broken into two here, which just echoes each other. ”

Pan Yu said lightly: "You do have vision, but you seem to have forgotten my words. ”

Gu Mengya sneered: "Bandits, just exterminate them." ”

Xian Yu Chong also sneered: "When you first arrive in the local area, you don't know how powerful the Absolute Dragon Ridge Gang is. Pointing to the lonely peak that echoes with the main mountain range: "The name here is Longshou Peak, it is the most precipitous place in the Juelong Ridge, the apes are also difficult to climb, there is only one cableway connecting the Longshou Peak and the main mountain of the Juelong Ridge, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the old nest of the Juelong Village is on this peak, the bandits of the Juelong Village are strong and resourceful, and they are familiar with the terrain, we have sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but they have returned in vain. ”

Yi Fenghan said: "Things are man-made, give up if you don't do it, so is there anything that can succeed in this world?"

Yan Jiutian pointed to a town thirty miles northwest of Qiyang: "This is ......."

Pan Yu was finally moved: "You have observed the geographical location and have excellent insights, and I admire them very much." However, this is Hangzhou, which belongs to the Fan family's sphere of influence, and we can't use it. ”

Yi Fenghan frowned and said, "Fan family?"

Yi Guizang replied: "The ancestor of the Fan family is Fan Xuande, the general of the Tang State during the Warring States Period, when the Tang State was overturned, Fan Xuande led his subordinates to take Fanjiabao as the base, supplemented by Hangcheng, and located on the Qiyang waterway, until today. Hangcheng and Fanjiabao are located in the upper and lower reaches of Qiyang respectively, close to the Yangtze River, as long as the Fan family is in trouble, they can immediately block the waterway and isolate Qiyang. Moreover, the Fan family's power in Qianyang is also huge, and it is very difficult to deal with them. ”

Gu Mengya said: "But how could the imperial court allow such a local force to exist?"

Gu Xinzheng said with a smile: "There is no way, the Fan family cooperated with the Lei family in Jiangbei back then, and buried 1,800 Xuanqi mines at the bottom of the river up and down the hundred miles of Qiyang, once launched, the hundred miles of the river area can instantly turn into a sea of fire." In other words, without the permission of the Fan family, no matter how powerful the fleet was, it would not dare to enter the waters around Qiyang. Because the Fan family since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, they insisted on not being involved in officialdom, and Qianyang is the capital of Yizhou, is the political, economic, cultural and military center of Yizhou, and its waters are in the middle and upper reaches of the long river, once this place is destroyed, the harm is very great, so the emperors of the past dynasties have adopted a blind and closed attitude towards them, too lazy to pay attention to them, as long as they do not rebel, the court does not want to do much. ”

Yan Jiutian said slowly: "It has been more than a thousand years since the Tang Kingdom was destroyed, right?"

Gu Xinzheng heard the meaning of the words of Jiutian, and warned: "Don't doubt that the firearms of the Lei family, although they have lasted for thousands of years, the mines protected by the Thunder Access Control Law should not be invalidated. ”

Xia Yuying said: "How about secretly destroying the Xuanqi mine?"

This proposal was even startled for nine days: "Don't do it, if the Lei family's firearms are not taught by their people, others will not be able to use them at all." Have you forgotten the world-destroying thunder?"

Xia Yuying's heart sank when she heard this, and she didn't speak again.

Gu Mengya stared intently at the map of the Yizhou military plane, and said in a deep voice: "Who is the leader of the Absolute Dragon Village, and what is so special?"

Pan Yu frowned and said, "You still don't give up?" met Gu Mengya's resolute eyes and sighed: "Okay, I said." Meng Yue, the master of the big village of Juelongzhai, is very difficult to deal with in the battle array, and he is from the local mountain people, and knows the place well; Huang Tong, the master of the second village, is a military general in the border area, familiar with military books, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is quite resourceful, he has accumulated merit to the deputy chief soldier of Jiuquguan, and later because he refused to go with his boss, he was framed and dismissed, he was angry, and simply went up the mountain and fell into the grass; Meng Shan, the master of the three villages, is Meng Yue's own brother, and his martial arts are not under the brother, and he is cruel and easy to kill. ”

Gu Mengya sneered: "Because of the dismissal of the official, he threw himself into the gang, and Huang Tong was too impulsive. Since Monsan is ferocious and easy to kill, there should be many enemies in the local area. I don't know what weaknesses Meng Yue has?"

Pan Yu's eyes lit up: "Meng Yue bravely crowned the three armies, killed the enemy in battle, and always rushed to the front. ”

Yi Feng smiled coldly: "A brave barbarian, it should be easy to deal with." As long as the Huangtong is solved, Juelongzhai will be at your fingertips. ”

Gu Mengya continued: "Now it seems that the three leaders of the Absolute Dragon Village are not calm in temperament, and they can be lured to attack and break them in one fell swoop. ”

Yan Jiutian said: "Since Huang Tong is a general, he should know how to govern the army, and he should not agree with Mengshan's indiscriminate killing." ”

Xian Yu said: "It is very likely, because there have been rumors for a long time, Huang Tong and Meng Shan are not in harmony. However, with Meng Yue pressing the formation, they should not turn their faces. ”

Gu Mengya said with a smile: "When Huang Tong fell into the grass, what was Meng Yue's power?"

Xian Yu said: "Although the momentum is not weak, it is far less than now. At that time, Pan Gongzi was still young, and the defenders of Qianyang were unable to crusade against the thieves, and there were twenty-three bandits within a hundred miles of Qiyang, the most famous of which were Tiesan Mazi of Hutou Village and Jiang Tao, a lone thief at the mouth of the big collapse, and then it was the turn of Juelong Village. Since Huang Tong joined the gang, Meng Yue's power has expanded rapidly, and within five years, he has destroyed 14 people, becoming the largest gang in Yizhou. ”

Yi Fenghan asked, "What happened to Tie San Mazi and Jiang Tao now?"

Hao Ba said proudly: "Hutou Village has been razed to the ground by Pan Gongzi, and Tiesan Mazi was killed on the spot. Jiang Tao was captured by me and Xian Yuchong, and he has already been shown to the public. ”

Gu Mengya said: "So, Meng Yue relies on Huang Tong very much?"

Xian Yuchong nodded and said, "It's just obedient." ”

Yi Feng said coldly: "Isn't there a gap between them?"

Xian Yu said: "On the surface, it seems to be so. To be honest, Meng Yue is very good at recruiting talents, in addition to Huang Tong, he also co-opted the fourteen cottages that were bulldozed, selected the elites, and gave them preferential treatment, so he had some bandits who were loyal to him. ”

Gu Mengya sneered: "There are gains and losses. Selecting talents from other cottages is indeed a wise move to strengthen one's own strength, but in this way, there must be people who have lost their lives among the bandits who followed him in the first place. ”

Pan Yu said with a smile: "It seems that you have already chosen the Absolute Dragon Village. ”

Yi Fenghan and the others glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and said in unison: "Not bad." ”

Pan Yu suddenly thought of something, and his face changed: "But if I send troops to conscript, once it is successful, its cottage will inevitably be burned down, you are short of manpower, how can you rebuild?"

Xian Yu Chong also said: "Yes, and if you are allowed to build a cottage and ignore it, I am afraid that the court will be suspicious, and the spearhead will immediately be pointed at Pan Gongzi." ”

Gu Mengya said: "Since you have been encircled and suppressed several times in vain, there is no reason to use swords now." The sudden change of ownership of the cottage is a private fight between people in the underworld, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Pan Yu showed an incredible look on his face, and said in a lost voice: "You don't want me to help?!"

Mu Yuelian bowed her head and said, "You should not come forward in this matter. ”

Hao Ba said angrily: "Just a few of you? Juelong Village is a dangerous place that our 30,000 troops have not captured! Don't underestimate us? We are no better than other cowardly garbage troops in Shenzhou, we are all well-trained and well-equipped elite soldiers. ”

Gu Mengya waved his hand and said, "Brother Hao, we don't mean that. It's just that you don't come forward, so it's better for us to handle it ourselves. But when the time comes, I want to borrow 3,000 elite soldiers from Pan Gongzi. The voice paused: "Be trustworthy." ”

Pan Yu's eyes were shining, staring at Gu Mengya's face, and he said after a while: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." When you will be soldiers, and when will my soldiers go. ”

Out of Pan's Mansion, Xia Yuying immediately asked Gu Xinzheng: "Then what is Pan Yu doing, why does it seem that he is acting as an official for his father?" Yi Fenghan and the others also felt the same way, and their eyes suddenly focused on Gu Xinzheng.

Gu Xinzheng laughed and said, "Smart, just guess." Pan Yu's father Pan Jian's name is quite heroic, in fact, he is just a rich man who does not learn and does not know how to do it, and he is neither a martial artist nor a martial artist, but he is an out-and-out official fan, and he wants to buy an official and a half-job all day long to glorify his ancestors, but because of insufficient money, he can only buy a military attachΓ©. ”

Xia Yuying interjected: "Why is the military attache cheaper?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "In the official system of the Yu State, the promotion of military attaches depends on military merits, and civilian officials rely on political achievements. Hey, as long as you bribe the minister's concubine of the emperor's letter, everything is easy to do, and you can write it directly on the declared documents, so the emperor doesn't have time to check it himself. However, military merit is relatively difficult, and there is always danger in going out on the expedition, especially now that bandits are rampant, and most of the officers and men have no combat effectiveness, so they do not dare to confront the bandits at all.

Xia Yuyingqi said: "Then how did Pan Jian get mixed up with the position of the commander of Qianyang? ”

Gu Xinzheng, Gu Xinsheng and Yi Guizang laughed at the same time. Yi Guizang was the first to stop laughing, looked at Xia Yuying, who was at a loss, and gasped: "Ha, alas, don't blame us, Pan Jian's old boy is so funny." As soon as this guy arrived at the barracks, he spent a lot of money and had a good relationship with his soldiers. When the time came, he never listened to the orders of his superiors, but blindly followed two or three miles behind the superior forces, and if he was victorious, he led his troops to charge, and if he lost, he took the lead in fleeing. If it hadn't been done well, it would have been treated as a deserter long ago. After each victory, he bought the heads of the bandits from his soldiers, and those soldiers also knew that they had no money and no power, and they couldn't be officials no matter how hard they worked, and they were happy to make more money, so every time they went into battle, as long as they were not defeated on all fronts, he always had a lot of 'great achievements' to kill thieves to receive credit. Moreover, he was generous, and did not deduct the soldiers' salaries, and he had a good reputation when the imperial court sent the overseers to inspect the army. Within four years, he was promoted from the commander of the district army to the chief soldier, and he was in Huayin City, Qinzhou, but later because Lu Zhen saw his resume and thought that he was a famous general in the world, it took a lot of effort to transfer him from the Qin King Lu Li to Qiyang. ”

Yi Fenghan and the others couldn't help laughing and laughed.

Gu Mengya smiled and said, "Brother Yi, go on." ”

Yi Guizang then smiled and said, "But Pan Jian's life is good, and he has a good son." Pan Yu has been brilliant since childhood, and has made good achievements in both civil and military affairs. When he was fifteen years old, he led his own soldiers who had been trained for a long time, and fought for more than 300 miles in ten days, destroying five cottages in a row, from which he got the name of the son of Wuling. From then on, he was actually holding the military power of the defenders of Qiyang, and his father didn't care about anything at all. And he is bold and righteous, likes to make friends, and he has some friendship with both black and white. In addition, it is impossible not to mention Xian Yuchong and Hao Ba. Xian Yu Chong was originally a peasant child, because he was seen fighting unevenly in the countryside, he not only immediately came forward to punish the local tyrant, but also took Xian Yu Chong to the mansion, a classmate Wu Xiwen. And Hao Ba was also born in cloth, because of his bravery, he was promoted by him from an ordinary soldier, and he also personally taught him the art of technical attack. Therefore, Xian Yuchong and Hao Ba have always been grateful for the grace of their acquaintances and loyal to him. Therefore, Pan Yu can be said to be a man of the year in Qianyang. ”

Xia Yuying sneered: "Bold and righteous, he likes to make friends, no matter how you look at him, he looks like an arrogant and rude official eunuch!"

Yi Fenghan nodded and said, "I feel the same way." ”

Gu Xinsheng said: "He is so virtuous, in fact, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is very enthusiastic about his friends." It's just that he became famous at a young age, and he is always a little arrogant when he treats people, and he gets used to it after a long time, and he is a very good person. ”

Gu Xinzheng snorted: "Your fox friend and dog friend, of course it's good." ”

Gu Mengya said with a smile: "By the way, isn't Gu Qi Brother and Pan Yu and others called the Four Great Princes of Qianyang, what about the other two?"

Gu Xinsheng was about to open his mouth, but found that his brother was glaring at him, and said, "Brother, you say." ”

Gu Xinzheng said: "The Lu and Feng families are both scholarly families, specializing in the kind of rotten Confucianism that eats the ancients, and Lu Yushu and Feng Mingyuan are purely outliers in their family. Feng Mingyuan is better, although this person learns martial arts privately and travels around, which makes the elders in the family dissatisfied, but he is erudite and versatile, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and he is well-deserved......"

Xia Yuying interrupted: "Isn't it because he goes there often?"

Gu Xinzheng was speechless for a while, Gu Xinsheng pointed at Xia Yuying and said: "You can say this kind of thing?

Xia Yuying looked puzzled and said, "Yes, I often hear people say that you are happy to go to Fengliu." ”

Gu Xinzheng finally came back to his senses: "Actually, Feng Mingyuan often goes, but he rarely stays overnight, usually talking with geisha or studying tunes with them. ”

Gu Xinsheng said loudly: "What do you mean very little?! Feng San is staying overnight!"

Gu Xinzheng said coldly: "It's you who want to stay overnight, right?"

Gu Xinsheng's face turned red, and he coughed dryly: "Brother, I won't interrupt, you continue." ”

Gu Xinzheng continued: "Although the elders of the Feng family feel that Feng Ming is far from doing his job, they think more about his youthful nature, and when he is older, he will pay attention to him, so he rarely cares about him. Lu Yushu is different, he specializes in martial arts, does not practice scriptures, and admires rangers, and makes friends with people in the rivers and lakes all day long, and the elders of the clan are deeply dissatisfied with him. Especially his father, who had great expectations for him, sent him to the capital to study Confucianism since he was a child, who knew that after ten years of returning, he knew nothing about Confucianism, but he learned the ability to beat people with one sleeve, and he fainted at that time. When the people of the Lu family mention him now, they look like their family is unlucky. ”

Gu Mengya smiled: "Throw your sleeves and beat people?"

Gu Xinzheng nodded and said: "Yunmen's martial arts are chic and elegant, and they are very popular in Kyoto, but most of them are joking, and there are not many like Liuyun Fei's sleeves to Lu Yushu." ”

Yi Feng said coldly: "But in addition to martial arts, this Liuyun prince seems to be ...... Hey. ”

Gu Xinsheng said: "Brother Yi doesn't have to feel embarrassed. Yushu is the same as me, I have a headache when I pick up a book, so in addition to martial arts, it is indeed lackluster. But that kid has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as a bit of a strength other than martial arts, which is better than me. ”

Gu Xinzheng snorted: "Do you also know that you are good for nothing but fighting?"

Gu Xinsheng stuck out his tongue and said with a hippie smile: "It's okay, anyway, our family has you to support me, so let me be a parasite." Alas, it's good to be the second child!"

Gu Mengya explained: "How can this be? Lu Yushu should not be regarded as a talent in the rivers and lakes." ”

Gu Xinsheng sighed and said: "Although the Lu family is a family of Qianyang, they are known for their poetry and books, and they are not wealthy. And Yushu travels around and spends a lot of money, so he often has to earn money by doing darts for others, and his experience is naturally more extensive. ”

Xia Yuying said: "Then Feng Mingyuan is the same?"

Gu Xinsheng smiled dumbly and said, "Do you know what the price of Feng San's music is on the market? Although he is not very rich, he is also a master who is not short of money to spend. ”

Yan Jiutian suddenly said: "Second Brother Gu, what are the main forces in Qianyang?"

Gu Xinzheng said: "In terms of the government, King Lu Zhen is naturally the most powerful person in the city, unless there is a rebellion, no one can disobey his wishes; and then it will be Pan Yu, who has the power to defend the army in Qianyang; The gangs in the city are now only the beggars, the poor and the seven wisps of wind on land, and on the waterway is the world where the Changhe gang Yizhou is divided. The people of Fanjiabao have built a three-star building near the wharf in the north of the city, across the street from the hall of the Changhe Gangyizhou rudder, although they rarely interact with people in the rivers and lakes, but no one dares to underestimate them. The Kyushu bookstore run by the merchant beetle is in the center of the city, and it is the main industry of the merchant in Qianyang, although the merchant only cares about business, but it is not a fun thing to provoke them. You Long Dart Bureau is the largest dart game in Yizhou, the head of the dart You Changqing is the authentic descendant of the You family gun, the iron gun in his hand crisscrosses the rivers and lakes, and he has never missed a dart for 40 years, and he is also one of Pan Yu's masters; Zhen Tiannan and Xi Youxian, who live in seclusion in the western suburbs of Qianyang, are also very prestigious in the rivers and lakes. In addition, there are still four small sects in Qianyang, such as the White Phoenix Gate, the Red Turban Knife, the Divine Fist Martial Arts Hall and the Divine Hand Gate. And our ancient family is also well-known in the rivers and lakes and the business world. ”

Xia Yuying smiled: "Shenshou Gate, hey, how is it so similar to Jiutian's nickname?"

Gu Mengya said: "Why didn't you mention Mr. Teng's Danqing Gate?"

Yi Fenghan also asked, "What are the seven wisps of wind, and why is the name so strange?"

Gu Xinzheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, take your time." Then he replied to Xia Yuying first: "Shenshoumen is actually a gang of thieves, and it has nothing to do with Brother Yan's stunts. In the laughter of everyone, he continued: "Teng Leshan is a native of Xuzhou, and the foundation of Danqingmen he founded is also in Xuzhou. Seven wisps of wind is actually an alliance of seven underworld gangs, the most powerful is the first wisp of wind, the other six wisps of wind were forced by him to join the gang, when the first wisp of wind was first established, there were at least thirty gang organizations in Qianyang, and the result was less than three years, except for the beggar gang and the poor gang, they did not dare to act rashly, and the rest of the gangs either surrendered to it or disappeared. ”

Yan Jiutian touched his chin: "What about the background of the White Phoenix Gate, the Red Turban Knife, and the Divine Fist Martial Arts Gym?"

Gu Xinsheng said: "Baifengmen is just a sect formed by some women on the rivers and lakes, mainly based on light skills, but even if it is light skills, there is nothing to be proud of. The red scarf knife is a knife technique used by the red turban thieves to train soldiers during the Red Turban Bandits, a third-rate knife technique, and it is not as good as the generation. The master of the Shenquan Martial Arts Hall, Situ Xiang, practiced the foreign boxing method of the Burning Lamp Ancient Temple, and his martial arts were commonplace, but there was no problem in beating a dozen ordinary strong men, and he took the name of Shenquan to eat mixed rice, and there were more than 100 apprentices under him. ”

Mu Yuelian said: "I heard that the Poor Family Gang is the No. 1 gang in Shenzhou, but it is misbehaving, and although the strength of the second-largest gang in Shenzhou is slightly weaker, it acts very brightly, I don't know if it's true?"

Gu Xinzheng nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, the establishment of the Beggar Gang was originally for the poor family. At that time, the poor family gang expanded its power, forced all the beggars to join the gang, instigated and connived at the gang's abduction, and got to the point that the people of Shenzhou would be cruel when they saw the beggars. At that time, it was the troubled times of the Warring States Period, there were many people who were hungry and cold, and there were many people who were lonely and helpless, and these people were not only exploited by the government and coerced by the gangs, but also spurned by the entire Shenzhou, and there was no way to live. At that time, Zhu Qingtian, the hero of Zhongzhou, was really in the past, but he felt that he was weak and powerless to help these poor and kind people, and finally with the support of his brother Zhu Motian and his wife Xie Susu, he scattered his family wealth and founded the Beggar Gang, which specially sheltered those beggars who refused to join the poor Gang. In this way, he attracted the jealousy of the poor gangs, so the two gangs clashed constantly. The poor family gang thinks that they have become beggars, which is what the world owes them, and no matter what they do, as long as they can satisfy themselves, it is right; Zhu Qingtian insisted that people can have no money and no ambitions, and that no matter how noble or lowly they are, they should stand up to the heavens and the earth, be worthy of their hearts, and resolutely oppose harming the innocent in order to fulfill their selfish desires. The two sides have been fighting for many years, and the poor family gang has the absolute upper hand in terms of strength, if it weren't for Zhu Qingtian's extremely high skill, which was one of the top ten masters recognized by Shenzhou at that time, the beggar gang would have died long ago. Zhu Qingtian's approach finally won the support of many decent people, and a large number of masters joined the beggar gang, which greatly increased the power of the beggar gang, and soon they were able to compete with the poor family gang. The two gangs have continued like this to this day, probably because they are hostile to each other, and the style of the two gangs has not changed at all for thousands of years. ”

Xia Yuying said fascinatedly: "Like Zhu Qingtian, he can be regarded as a real hero! Unfortunately, he is not a figure today." ”

Gu Xinsheng joked: "What if it's a person today?

Xia Yuying turned her head away from looking at him, and snorted coldly: "I'll go to the beggar gang to help him." Such a hero, no matter what, I must make friends!"

Gu Xinsheng said: "Hey ......"

Gu Xinzheng interrupted: "Here we go again!"

Gu Xinsheng stuck out his tongue and stopped talking. Gu Mengya chuckled and said, "Why are the two biggest gangs in Shenzhou made up of beggars?

Gu Xinzheng said indifferently: "There is no way, this is related to the current situation of the entire Shenzhou." Since Lu Gan ascended the throne, the heavens have been angry and resentful, the people have no livelihood, and there are too many beggars. For example, there was a severe drought in the four prefectures of Xiang, Ge, Yun, and Yang, and the power of the poor family gang in these four places has expanded extremely rapidly this year. ”

Yi Fenghan smiled: "Second Brother Gu missed the beggar gang. ”

Gu Xinzheng said: "The beggar gang is relatively strict in accommodating the gang, and there are many precepts, but in terms of the number of gangs and the speed of expansion, there has been no way to compete with the poor gang. However, there are many beggars, and as time goes by, they will still provide fresh blood for the beggars. ”

Yan Jiutian nodded and said, "That's the case, then ......"

Gu Xinjian, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "You plan to use Juelongling as a base, collude with Pan Yu, set up Lu Zhen, and then contact the Beggar Gang, the Dragon Dart Bureau or other gangs to control Qiyang and even Yizhou." Then stand by and overthrow Lu Gan's rule. Everyone should think that this not only avenges the third prince of Feng, but also a good thing for the people of Shenzhou, right?" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he waited for himself to continue, so he said in a deep voice: "I've been wondering, is it right for us to do this? Are we pushing Shenzhou to develop into a turbulent situation? Lu Gan is not a good emperor, but in order to overthrow him, is it worth it to let the people of Shenzhou suffer from war and chaos? Is it worth it for the master of the heavenly soldiers, is it destined to make Kyushu the culprit in the troubled times?"

Everyone chewed Gu Xinjian's question carefully, speechless all the way, returned to the ancient mansion, and went back to their rooms. After dinner, Yi Guizang beckoned everyone to come to his residence in the afternoon.

As soon as she sat down, Xia Yuying spoke first: "Brother Yi, what are you looking for us?"

Yi Guizang said lightly: "I have thought about the question of the fourth cousin for a long time in the afternoon, and I want to talk to you again. ”

Gu Xinjian said solemnly: "Big cousin, please speak." ”

Yi Guizang said: "Now the situation in Shenzhou, everyone has not only heard a lot, but also witnessed a lot. Now the Yu regime has become rotten, the emperor has no sympathy for the people's strength, extravagance and indulgence, great rejoicing in great achievements, and reckless military force; The chaos in Shenzhou has sprouted, and non-human beings can stop it. Rather than sit back and wait for chaos to happen, it is better to prepare for a rainy day. As long as we do not forget why we are building up our own power today, and do not forget that no matter what means we take, there is only one goal, so that the people of Shenzhou can stay away from tyranny and excesses, be free from the oppression of greedy and tyrannical monarchs and bureaucrats, and live in a peaceful country. Maybe this is just a dream for the rest of our lives, but we can't let the cruel reality unscrupulously create injustice in the world because there is little hope. This is the minimum we need as a chivalrous man. ”

Gu Xinsheng continued to speak with feeling: "I don't know what you think, I pride myself on being a chivalrous man. At the moment I was sensible, before I had even touched a book, I knew how to use a sword. Peace is maintained by force. We cannot reject the use of force because we are disgusted with war and turmoil. Without a strong force, it means that people are allowed to eat their own flesh, let alone manage the injustices of the world. On weekdays, we have done some things to punish the strong and eliminate evil, but if we were not stronger than those people, would we still be able to sit here and talk? If we are not beheaded in public, we will already be squatting in the prison!"

Mu Yuelian said lightly: "If the people who hold the power act recklessly, and we don't have enough strength, we can only let them come like now." Said with a faint sigh: "It's getting late, Lu Gan must have arrived at the Lu Mansion." ”

Xia Yuying only felt that the blood was boiling in her chest, and she slapped the case and said loudly: "Yes, maybe we are fanning the flames for the upcoming troubled times." But if it's as peaceful as it is now, don't do it!"

Yan Jiutian stood up and said categorically: "My parents died early, my father-in-law is as kind to me as a mountain, and I must avenge the revenge of his old man and my brother-in-law! No matter what means I use and how much sacrifice I make, I must have my own army, an army that can fight back to Shuzhou." ”

Yi Fenghan said gloomily: "Nine days ......"

Gu Xinjian touched the back of his head: "Hey, it's me who is too worried, causing everyone to bother thinking about this kind of boring thing." ”

Yi Guizang said: "Fourth cousin, don't say that, it is precisely because of your doubts that you guide us to think and find a correct path." Without your reminder, I am afraid that we will really lose ourselves in the pursuit of power. ”

Yi Fenghan said with a smile: "We have finally found the goal we are striving for, how about it? Let's discuss specific measures?"

Yan Jiutian said: "Plan and then act, I think we should first investigate the various forces in Qianyang, find out the partners who can cooperate, and determine the enemy." In terms of Juelong Village, we should also go to the local area to find out, on the one hand, we can find out about the situation in the village, and on the other hand, we can also understand the relationship between the cottage and the local mountain people, so as to find opportunities. ”

Gu Xinzheng frowned and said, "How to allocate manpower?"
