Chapter 597: Candlelight Night Talk, Assassin Gathering

Zhou Yu has been in Yangzhou for more than two years, first controlling the green forest heroes in Jinfeng Mansion, secretly instructing the development of the rebel army, and having an official background, so he stretched out his hand quickly, especially using the cheap goods transferred from the Jinhe River, and quickly established an intelligence network.

And with his old boss Wu Chang moved to Suzhou Mansion, this hidden force is from the south of Yangzhou to the north of the rapid blossoming and fruition, every time behind the victory of the bandits, Zhou Yu is weaving that ubiquitous net, although this net was first built, but sometimes, than those families established the network is more swift and comprehensive.

However, Zhou Yu's network also has a big drawback, that is, it can only cover a few big mansions in Yangzhou, and even Yangzhou can't be fully covered, not to mention the news of the imperial capital in Qingzhou, and seeing the letter Leng Zhuo handed him, Zhou Yu also understood why Leng Zhuo said that time would not wait.

The impact of the new emperor's succession to the throne is like a huge stone falling on a waterhole, and the ripples will spread rapidly with the fall of the stone, and the most intense impact is tantamount to the four princes on the front line, and these four princes will submit to the new emperor who has ascended the throne?

The answer is no, not to mention whether the new emperor has enough prestige and ability, just in vain to launch a battle to seize the dragon, destroying the content of the previous five princes fighting for the throne with their military exploits, it is enough to be criticized, of course, the winner is the king and the loser is the coward, if the new emperor can kill the remaining four princes with a thunderous force, then this problem is naturally not a problem, but the problem is that the four princes have two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, and there is almost no need to choose the road of self-respect.

"Young master, this may be the beginning of a turmoil in Kyushu, if the previous rebellions in the empire are just scabies, then after this crisis, Kyushu is likely to fall apart, and even Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Shuzhou, and Yongzhou, which are relatively stable, will be involved"

Leng Zhuo sighed and said, "Although I also thought that it would be chaotic, but after all, the empire has five hundred years of orthodoxy, so it won't collapse so quickly."

Zhou Yu shook his head, his eyes revealed a deep light, and said: "Gong Jin has read a lot of books in Yangzhou these days, among which in the history of the pre-Tang Dynasty, the founding saint of this dynasty once commented like this, the Tang Rebellion started in the court, and the chaos was due to the local power, but it was destroyed by the family magnates, and to put it simply, the eight hundred years of the country is too long, so it was destroyed."

"You mean, the rise and fall of the extreme, the change of dynasties is the law of nature?"

"Almost, behind the seemingly peaceful and prosperous Tianlong Empire, it is a powerful family that has swelled for hundreds of years, local gate valves, although the founding emperor of this dynasty has learned the lessons of the previous dynasty, centralizing power, virtual places, and aristocratic feudal divisions have also made the policy of guarding the border with nobles, which seems to have eliminated the nobles who continue to cut flesh on the empire, and gradually become a tumor, but in fact, although the aristocracy has been greatly restricted, it has given birth to another group, the local gate valve. ”

"These gate valves themselves may be merchants, may be quite popular literati families, may be at the beginning of the dynasty, this emerging power promoted the development of the empire, but as these merchants bought houses in their hometowns, gradually became the first recognized household in the local area, and continued to spread out, within three or four generations, all aspects of this family will be like a spider web around everyone around, so that they unconsciously serve it, when it develops, a town, thousands of people are operating around a family, the gate valve is formed. ”

"The gate valve itself does not have the privileges of the nobility, nor does it have the legal right of the nobles to have a private army, but the gate valve can use the recruitment of guards, the recruitment of the guardian family, and a variety of other means to cultivate their own strength, the gate valve has strong financial resources, so the armed family guard, the strength of the guard is even stronger than the private soldiers of many small nobles"

"And the four great families of the dynasty, the four wealthy families, are undoubtedly the largest gate valves, some of them can control a county, most of the land and economy of a county with just a side branch, and even the local officials, most of them come from these gate valve families, and they are embarrassed with each other, it can be said that the local officials are ostensibly serving the empire, but in fact they are serving their own families, so once the empire is in chaos, there will still be a situation of local division and princes fighting at the end of the previous dynasty."

"Even, it's more serious," Zhou Yu's voice aggravated a little.

The aristocracy of this dynasty was suppressed, so the word Qinggui appeared, the nobles were very poor, and they couldn't even afford to raise private soldiers, and the Leng family was not like this at the beginning.

The privileged class of the aristocracy is guarding the frontier and living a hard life, and there are a few people who will think of the good of the empire, at least the small and medium-sized nobles who have not gained benefits will definitely not serve the empire loyally, and those big nobles are all colluded with the local gate valves, or they have developed into a valve themselves.

In the later period of the previous dynasty, the warlords were divided, the princes fought chaotically, and the leaders were some generals who supported the army and respected themselves, and the local festival envoys, it can be said that although they were chaotic, but one side of the festival made them almost control several prefectures today, and the places were very large, so although the melee made the people miserable, there were still some places that were relatively peaceful.

But if you change to this dynasty, a village, a town has a small gate valve, a county, a county has three or five gate valve families, if it is really chaotic, these gate valves for their own interests, will automatically "separate" one side, perhaps for self-preservation, and ambitious people, will take advantage of the situation and annex each other, you must know that the gate valves are also competing interests, and once the gate valve rebellion spreads, Leng Zhuo dare not think about it.

That is Kyushu everywhere in chaos, everywhere in turmoil, just thinking about it, Leng Zhuo sweated on the top of his head, he knew that the empire was like a wild horse that was out of control at this moment, and it was running in the direction of losing control.

"What should we do?" Leng Zhuo asked as he sat in his chair and had a little bit of a lack of brain.

"In the troubled times, whether it is for self-protection or to obtain more benefits, it can be summed up in eight words, storing grain and supporting the army for self-respect" Zhou Yu said word by word.

"Stockpile the grain base, support the army and respect yourself" Leng Zhuo lowered his head and read again, isn't this just to make himself a prince and warlord, it is not impossible to say this, but he still has an old father-in-law of the country, and he also rebelled, Leng Zhuo shook his head, although the emperor is far away, but he really raised the flag to rebel, but it is far from that point.

"Young master, the grain base, supporting the army and self-respect does not necessarily mean rebellion, and after all, the Tianlong Empire is orthodox for five hundred years, and it is not said that it will fall, and it is also necessary to have a righteous name, at least when the power is not completed......"

Zhou Yu's words did not continue, but Leng Zhuo stood up suddenly: "Someone eavesdropped" Leng Zhuo said, the person had disappeared in place, and he had reappeared but was already above the roof.

Under the bright moonlight, above the roof, several black-clothed masked people curled up in the shadows, probably what Zhou Yu said made Leng Zhuo's mind a little confused, so he didn't notice when this group of masked people came, until just now, there was a sound above, Leng Zhuo realized that damn it, he was not small.

Leng Zhuo snorted softly, and was immediately heard by the black-clothed masked man below, several pairs of eyes looked upward, obviously they were also very puzzled, how Leng Zhuo appeared above them, but they didn't have a chance to ask.

Leng Zhuo waved his hand, and more than a dozen ice edges appeared in the void, shooting down towards these black-clothed people, the distance was too close, and these black-clothed people couldn't run at all, because their bodies had been entangled with spiritual power, and their movements became very slow.

Puff, puff, the sound of ice edge puncture suddenly pierced into the bodies of several people, and the tiles on the roof could not withstand the impact, and collapsed violently, and several people fell into the hall.

However, it is obvious that these black-clothed assassins are not so easy to be dropped, and at the moment they fall, they summoned the psychic beast armor, and as soon as they landed, they were divided into two groups, two of them pounced on Zhou Yu, and the three of them jumped up and jumped onto the roof.

Oh, there is still the courage to come, Leng Zhuo sneered, but he didn't even bother to take out the sword, with a whoosh, a teleportation moved, and the hand knife contained majestic spiritual power and hit the back of an assassin's neck, the other party is obviously also an earth spirit warrior, but the level is not very high, Leng Zhuo went down with a knife in one hand, and the opponent's body protection psychic beast armor was suddenly beaten and scattered, and the eyes that were exposed outside also suddenly widened, and then closed, fainting.

When he moved again, the same hand knife was struck, and another person fell, and the third man in black was obviously a little frightened and wanted to escape, but before he could turn around, he was also knocked to the ground by Leng Zhuo's hand knife.

The figure shook again, Leng Zhuo returned to the hall, and directly stretched out his hand to one of the two assassins who attacked Zhou Yu, and his hand turned into an eagle's claw, and the body of the Earth Spirit Assassin seemed to be covered by countless cobwebs, and then was pulled backwards.

He wanted to resist, but apparently his strength was too bad, and he was dragged in front of the young man little by little, and the look of surprise on his face was palpable.

On the other side, there was one less assassin, and the fan bone in Zhou Yu's hand was also slapped on the shoulder blade of the remaining assassin, Zhou Yu was the first military general to complete the psychic, although the strength has not yet reached the heavenly spirit, but the control of spiritual power is the most refined, the reason why the Juyuan Pill refined last time was not given to Zhou Yu is not that Zhou Yu is not qualified, but that Zhou Yu's potential is very great, and the use of the pill is inferior, after all, Zhou Yu's psychic beast is a sub-divine beast.

Within a few rounds, the assassin was also knocked to the ground by Zhou Yu, Leng Zhuo directly swung his hand knife and stunned the captured earth spirit to the ground, but the corner of his mouth sneered: "I didn't expect that I am in this humble house, there are really a lot of visitors today, I actually came to form a group, it is really lively"

Leng Zhuo directly summoned Qiushui, pulled out the three-foot sword blade, and a trace of a creepy evil aura was suddenly exposed, Leng Zhuo didn't talk much nonsense, and directly swung his sword towards a dark corner in the hall and slashed down, a sword containing spiritual power and soul evil suddenly shot into the dark place.

Poof, the sword light of Qiushui shined through, and in that dark position, a masked man popped, revealing his body and falling to the ground.

"If you still want to go, give me death" Leng Zhuo's terrifying spiritual power quickly probed around, the autumn water sword slashed out, and several sword rays chased the hidden shadow in the void, this autumn water sword did not hurt people, but cut people's souls, and the sword light flew by, and suddenly several people revealed their bodies from the void and fell outside the door.
