It's finally time to act.

Although he has experienced so many life-and-death situations, Zheng Sichu's heart is still a little fluctuating at this time. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, but he felt that his mouth was dry and astringent, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Since the drastic changes in Wuyang City, compared with others, Zheng Sichu has not had a position, and his life has not changed much. But even if his life has not changed much, he has never been able to calm down in his heart. Wuyang City was breached twice except when the north and south clashed, and no enemy has been able to attack the city for decades. Decades of peaceful life have already made people feel that such peace is a matter of course, even if the city has changed banners now, as long as there is no major chaos, they can get by.

However, Zheng Sichu couldn't be so confused at all. He joined the army since he was sensible, and although he was later discredited and had to leave the army, it was the blood of a soldier that flowed in his chest. These days, he and Xuan Minglei have been planning this major event, which was originally to be executed on August 3, but due to the change in the situation at that time, Xuan Minglei, as the commander of the Wuyangcheng Water Army, was withdrawn from the dispatch, and the operation had to be canceled. Fortunately, after all these days of hard work, this plan is finally going to start again.

The fall of Wuyang City has been exactly one month since today.

Now the city is much calmer, when Yu Peili's fleet first broke through the city, there was a panic in the city, and then with Ju Xinlian's suicide, riots broke out in the city. However, in the past month, as the troublesome Snow Shame Group has been severely suppressed, the city has become more and more peaceful. Today, the city is lined with merchants again, and the wharves are like clouds.

Wuyang City started with commerce and trade, and has never taken the flag very seriously like Wuyun City. In the eyes of the people of Wuyang City, it doesn't matter who you are on stage, as long as you can ensure that you have three meals and one night, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, then whoever comes to power is fine. It's just that they never thought that in just this month, the property accumulated in Wuyang City over the years has been looted by Yu Peili. Now the time is still short, it has not yet appeared, the basic livelihood of Wuyangcheng can still be guaranteed, but after a while, even the normal operation of the ruling government will be difficult, and the repair and maintenance of roads and bridges in the city may not be able to come up with money. The current Wuyang City is like a sturdy buffalo sleeping all over its body, being bitten by mosquitoes all over its body. Because it doesn't hurt or itch, I can't notice it yet, but once I notice it, I'm afraid that I won't even have the strength to get up.

Therefore, it is necessary to seize the last chance to wake up this sleeping lazy cow, and at the same time take a batch of the looted property from Pelly as the basis for a future counterattack.

This point is the consensus of Zheng Sichu, Xuan Minglei and Tan Wantong, who made this plan. And this strategy is to take advantage of the fact that Paley is about to set off, suddenly attack, seize the Fuxing and go to sea. Fuxing is the strongest remaining warship of the Wuyangcheng Naval Army, and it was also Xuan Minglei's ship, he also knows this battleship well, and half of the sailors on board are veterans of the Wuyangshui Army who have been retained, and they have all been Xuan Minglei's personal subordinates, so he is more certain. According to the information obtained by Tan Wantong, the Yupelly fleet will depart tomorrow, so tonight is the last and best opportunity.

This plan was actually decided at the beginning of the month, and when it was actually implemented now, Zheng Sichu was still a little apprehensive. Xuan Minglei on the other side had also noticed that this old friend of life and death was a little strange, and whispered: "Brother Xie, what's wrong?" ”

In order to hide people's eyes, the two of them called each other surnamed Xie and the other surnamed Shen when they met, and each time they met for a short time, they would never meet twice in the same place. Xuan Minglei also knew that Zheng Sichu was resourceful, and he was still calm and calm when he commanded thousands of troops and horses to fight against the enemy, but now he was somehow in a trance. Zheng Sichu let out an "ah", reached out and took out a cloth bag with a length of a foot from his sleeve and said, "Brother Shen, you can help me carry this first, I'm afraid that it will not be easy to pass the test then." ”

To capture the ship, you must pass through the dock checkpoint. Since Yu Peili occupied Wuyang City, the dock checkpoint has become many times tighter, and every person who passes has to search the bottom to the sky. In Paley's eyes, he was afraid that he couldn't miss even a single slight, and everything that could be scavenged had to be scavenged. What Zheng Sichu took out was his usual Ruyi hook, which was a weapon, and if it was found when passing through the checkpoint, it was likely that the news would leak out, so he simply gave it to Xuan Minglei. Xuan Minglei will be mixed with sailors to get on the ship at that time, and there is no need to pass the checkpoints, not to mention that it is normal for sailors to carry portable weapons. Xuan Minglei thought the same, and took it and said, "Okay, I'll see you on the boat at that moment." ”

In order to seize the ship and escape, it is necessary to open all the way, and to get rid of the pursuit of the Paley fleet as soon as possible. If it were daytime, Yu Peili would use the Wyvern Army, and even if the Fuxing could fly, it would not be able to fly out of the docks, so it would only do it in the dead of night. It's still two quarters of the hour, less than three hours before Hai Shi, and it's time to make the final preparations.

After the Ruyi hook was folded, it was just a thin stick with a length of a foot, and Xuan Minglei was about to get up after putting it in his sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Xie, when will the senior sister come out?" ”

Both of them have families, Xuan Minglei's wife Shen Zhixin is a heroine among women, with excellent riding skills, and although her son is not as skilled as him, he is still young and sharp. In comparison, Zheng Sichu's wife Fu Yanrong was pampered at the beginning, and she was not very good at riding, so she escaped from the sea this time, and she really had to suffer a lot. Zheng Sichu said: "I will let her wait on the dock first, and I will come out later." Acting separately in this way is not very eye-catching. ”

Xuan Minglei nodded and said, "Okay." He picked up the cup, and there was still a little tea left in the cup. Xuanming Lei is a good drinker, but for this reason, he has been abstaining from alcohol these days. He drank all the tea, but according to the habit of drinking, he took the empty cup to Zheng Sichu and whispered, "I wish us a smooth journey." ”

The hope of the revival of Wuyang City has also been tied to the revival ship. This is the hope of the unwilling Wuyang Republicans, once this matter fails, Wuyang City is afraid that there will be no possibility of turning the tables, and it will become the territory of a foreign race forever.

When Xuan Minglei left for a while, Zheng Sichu walked out. He was cautious and extremely cautious by nature, and made sure that no one was following him, and then left.

Xuan Minglei and Zheng Sichu were both among the best generals in the world, but even they never thought that as soon as Zheng Sichu left, a pigeon flew out of the backyard of the teahouse.

The pigeon is warm and sweet, nourishing the qi and nourishing the body, and there are many people who raise pigeons in the Wuyang City who are good at eating, and it is the time to release the pigeons after the autumn, so no one will care. However, the pigeon flew to a watchtower in the city, and a person in the watchtower took a thin bamboo tube stuffed with a paper roll from the pigeon's leg, but immediately sent it to the nearby office of the Minister of Rites.

To be exact, it was delivered to Wang Toqing, the former director of the Ministry of Rites.

There wasn't much written on the piece of paper, but it was a clear note of when Zheng Sichu came to the teahouse and how long he had been secretly meeting with Xuan Minglei after his disguise. Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, Wang Toe Qing had already guessed eight or nine.

Sure enough, it is not superfluous to send someone to keep an eye on Zheng Sichu around the clock.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Toqing's mouth. Xuan Ming thunder. Zheng Sichu. These two people, even Wang Toeqing, who has always been arrogant, admire them from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that such thoughtful and resourceful people still missed a trick, that is, this intelligence network laid by Wang Toqing a long time ago.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Wang Toeqing once read this sentence in "The Seven Essentials of Marching" and thought it was true, but his attention was not on military affairs, but on intelligence itself.

If you have intelligence, you can grasp the opportunity in everything. Therefore, Wang Toqing took advantage of the time when he was working in the Ministry of Rites, and he was gradually cultivating this intelligence network. At the beginning, his royal family was the rich of Wuyang City, and half of the restaurants in Wuyang City were opened by his family. Later, his cousin Li Dianyuan became the Taishou of Wuyang City, and Wang Toqing took the opportunity to expand the industry and ate almost all the restaurants and teahouses in Wuyang City. Later, the tobacco house was booming, and he also collected a lot of the tobacco house. These are places where people from all walks of life gather, and many people look for such places when they have secret conversations. Having mastered almost all the restaurants and teahouses, there is almost nothing in the city that can hide from him. Therefore, although Xuan Minglei and Zheng Sichu are extremely careful and change places every time they meet, Wang Zhiqing has already sent someone to monitor Zheng Sichu around the clock, and the place where Zheng Sichu and Xuan Minglei meet is Wang Zhiqing's industry. So far, none of their encounters have escaped Wang Toeqing's eyes, and what is even more terrifying is that they themselves have not been aware of it.

Now the one who has real power in Wuyang City is not Yu Peili, but me.

Wang Toe Qing said this to himself lightly in his heart. If necessary, it is perfectly possible to keep these people from seeing the sun the next day. In fact, Wang Toeqing was almost on the verge of giving an order to assassinate Zheng Sichu, the person who dared to coerce him into issuing a ban on longevity and anointing. It's just that he still retracted this idea at that time, because Zheng Sichu took him to see the tragic situation of Fushou Paste Shop, which shocked Wang Toqing.

Fushou ointment, although it can make money, but it really can't last long like this. After indulging in Fushou Anointing, if you can't do anything, then whether it is a tavern teahouse or those workshops in Wuyang City, sooner or later there will be no more people to recruit and jobs to recruit. Therefore, after the ban on Fushou Paste was issued at that time, although Wang Toqing himself also had several industries affected and lost money, it was still beneficial in the long run. What's more, the profits of the Fushou Paste Shop are too large, and the newly opened ones at that time are like mushrooms after a rain, and they want to buy all the Fushou Paste Shops like buying a restaurant and teahouse, even Wang Toqing's assets are far from enough, so it is not a bad thing to simply ban it. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and then Yu Paley's black ship suddenly knocked on the gate and forcibly abolished the ban on Fushou Anointing, and since then, Fushou Anointing Shops have bloomed everywhere, which is beyond his expectations.

Fushou Anointing must be banned, and the Sunflower King Army must be expelled. On these two points, Wang Toqing felt that he and Zheng Sichu had the same opinion, but he couldn't stand aside with Zheng Sichu at all. Not only because his cousin Li Dianyuan was forced to go into the wild by Zheng Sichu and vomited blood to death, but also because he clearly saw that there was a different gap between himself and Zheng Sichu. Just like treating the Sunflower Dynasty, he can approach them with the heart of being small and unbearable, but Zheng Sichu will never do this.

However, at present, just as the hound survives because of the cunning rabbit, with the Snow Shame Group, and with direct resistance like Zheng Sichu, he can make better use of the Sunflower King Army.

A long time ago, Wang Toqing dreamed that one day he would be able to grasp the absolute power of Wuyang City. This goal has been approaching me, but no matter what, it really comes. When Wang Toe Qing was almost desperate, the occurrence of the black ship knocking on the customs made him see hope. And through Yu Peili's looting, he has almost mastered the supreme power of Wuyang City, and the black cauldron is all carried by the Sunflower Army, but he stays out of the matter, and does not become the target of public criticism because of this.

I guess the gods are watching over me, too.

Wang Toe Qing thought, almost laughing out loud.

At the same time that he has actually grasped the supreme power of Wuyang City, this golden opportunity has also come to his hands. After reading the note, Wang Toqing immediately drove to the Taishou Mansion to see Du Hulun, who represented the governor of the whole city.

In the south of the city, the instigator behind the Snow Shame Group was discovered. The news lifted Duhuron's spirits. Although the organization of the Snow Shame Regiment did not have any specific actions, it traveled from time to time, went to the dock to stop the unloading of cargo ships, and instigated the citizens to make trouble, which gave Du Hulun a headache. These days, he listened to Wang Toqing's strategy, suppressed the Snow Shame Group with the strict law and heavy code, and commended Ju Xinlian who committed suicide, these two methods had immediate results, and now the activities of the Snow Shame Group have decreased a lot, and the already raging dissatisfaction of the people of Wuyang City has gradually subsided, making Du Hulun trust Wang Toe Qing even more. He was originally a generalist, proficient in Sunflower Dynasty and Central Plains, but in fact, he did not have any political talents. It was a bit reluctant to be ordered by Admiral Peli to govern, but Wang Toqing's timely entry really solved his urgent need. Now that Wang Toe Qing reported this important news, he paid more and more attention to it, and said, "Lord Wang, then send a garrison to search for this commander now?" ”

Wang Toe Qing pondered for a while and said, "Lord Du, although the garrison is also contributing to my Sunflower King now, these people will eventually grow five sheep. Let them do something else, and I'm afraid they won't be able to do it. ”

Hearing this, Du Hulun was even more ironed in his heart, thinking that this Lord Wang Toqing was indeed wholeheartedly devoted to himself. Although Du Hulun lacked political talents, he was also well aware of such things. The garrisons who want to be retained will arrest the masterminds behind the Snow Shame Regiment, and they are only afraid that they will secretly report the news. Just now, Du Hulun also said this intentionally, in order to see Wang Toeqing's reaction. But Wang Toqing said the right way to deal with it, and Du Hulun really trusted him, so he smiled and said: "What Lord Wang said is very true, then the flame Mo people will be dispatched. ”

Wang Toe Qing was stunned and said, "Flame Mo people? ”

"Lord Wang doesn't know that the Flame Mo people are a force that the Three Holy Emperors had arranged in the city earlier, otherwise how could Admiral Yu Peli be able to drive to the city with ease? Haha, I'll give you this team, you can do it right away, you must do it once and for all, cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

Wang Toqing was sincerely frightened, and suddenly knelt down on one leg and said: "Lord Du relies so heavily on Toe Qing, the grace of knowing is unforgettable, and the toe Qing liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and he will do his best for the Three Holy Emperors." ”
