Feiyun hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Yang Shaoxia, my name is Lin Feiyun." Then he introduced Tianxiang, Liangchen, and Meijing one by one.

Yang Zhou saluted the three of Tianxiang and expressed his gratitude. Then he introduced Yu Lei and others, and said that they were his brothers.

Feiyun listened to Lin and looked at Yang Zhou carefully. But seeing that he is eight feet tall, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are bright, and he has two halberds on his back, and he has a heroic spirit.

Feiyun was amazed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Brother Yang's martial arts are strong, and it is difficult for the enemy to resist. You're welcome, but the little brother is disrespectful! ”

Yang Zhou hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." You are all our life-savers, and I would like to invite you to the place where you live below. ”

Yu Lei continued: "This place is not a place to speak, we will elaborate on it after we go back." What do you think? Everyone had no objections, so they came to Niu Chong's house together. Niu Chong arranged a banquet, and after everyone was full of wine and food, they came to the lobby and took their seats.

Liangchen asked, "Brother Yang, where are you from?" How can you have a grudge against Jinling Taishou? Yang Zhou said: "This matter is a long story. He told the experience of several of them. Yang Zhou said that they learned that Qin Taishou was very greedy, so they ran to assassinate the people, wanting to eliminate harm for the people.

Yang Zhou and the others had been there once a few days ago, but Qin Taishou was not at home at that time. Feiyun said: "It turns out that it was the brothers who broke into the Qin Mansion a few days ago. If we knew it was you, we would have to help. ”

Yang Zhou then asked, "Aren't you in Nanyue?" Why did you come to Jinling? Liangchen hurriedly told them about the experience of the four of them. Feiyun said that tonight was originally Qin Taishou's trouble, but he didn't expect to meet Yang Zhou and others.

Yang Zhou heard this, and immediately said, "I see. We heard early this morning that someone broke into the palace last night, but did not kill a single guard. We're still guessing who did it? It seems that we are on the same page. Why don't we go back in a few days? If you can meet Qin Hui, it will be an unexpected joy! Feiyun hadn't replied yet, and Ge Jin interjected: "Brother Yang, this matter is not okay!" ”

Yang Zhou and the others asked in unison, "Brother Ge, why do you say that?" Ge Jin said: "It's only been a few days, and the Qin Mansion has been attacked in a row. Now they must be rumors and even more guarded. Brother Lin also said just now that in the Qin Mansion, there are still many masters. If we rush forward, we are afraid that we will encounter danger. ”

Yang Zhou asked unhappily, "Then what are we doing in Jinling?" You can't just go home, can you? Ge Jin said: "Of course I won't go back like this. I have an idea, that is, to use the method of striking the east and the west to get rid of this corrupt official. If we get rid of the corrupt officials, it will be equivalent to cutting off Wu Zetian's minions in Jiangnan. In this way, there will be no harm in raising troops to rebel in the next step. ”

Yu Lei said: "This corrupt official actually bribed a few masters to save his dog's life. Feiyun continued, "What Brother Yu said is true. The person who will fight against you tonight is Fang Zhenming, the current leader of the Ming Chaoyang Sect. His martial arts are strong and should not be underestimated. Yang Zhou asked, "Brother Lin, are you familiar with them?" ”

Feiyun said: "It's not very familiar, it's just that I have fought several times, and then I heard other friends in the rivers and lakes talk about them." Feiyun immediately told Yang Zhou and others about the situation of Fang Zhenming and others one by one. Yang Zhou sighed and said: "Why is Fang Zhenming so spineless, recognizing the thief as his father and attaching himself to the imperial court." This kind of behavior is really despicable. ”

Feiyun said: "Based on my understanding of Fang Zhenming, he should not be the kind of villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no backbone. He did this just to take advantage of the power of the Qin Hui and find an opportunity to rebel in the future. Ge Jin said: "Brother Lin is right. I have also heard of this Chaoyang Sect in the rivers and lakes. There are many believers, and there are many talented people in it. It's just that after the chaos of the Chaoyang Sect, most of the elites died in battle. Therefore, in the past two decades, the Chaoyang Sect has almost disappeared. ”

Yang Zhou said to Feiyun: "Brother Lin, do you know how many masters they have?" Feiyun said: "There are many masters, and there is the sect leader Fang Zhenming, who is the one who fought with you tonight." In addition, there are two messengers on the left and right, known as the left envoy Wang Yin and Baoguang. Then there are the four protectors: Shi Leopard, Du Wei, Li Run, and Si Xing. Among them, the most capable ones are Wang Yin and Shi Leopard. When you encounter these people in the future, you must be careful to deal with them. ”

Yang Zhou said: "This Fang Zhenming really has two blows, I fought with him more than 20 moves today, but I didn't find his flaws." Feiyun said: "The most powerful thing in this person's martial arts is to use his strength, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will catch his way." ”

Ge Jin said: "I still stick to the original plan and deal with Qin Hui first. If the men on both sides of us are together, there should be no problem in dealing with Qin Hui's men. Everyone agreed in unison. Yang Zhou saw that everyone had worked hard all night, so he asked everyone to rest for the night first, and Niu Chong immediately asked his family to arrange a place for the brothers to live.

The next morning, everyone got up one after another. After breakfast, gather in the hall. Ge Jin said: "Brothers, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I think we should set up a hoe and rape club. In this way, there is a unified arrangement, so as not to go their own way and be broken by the enemy, of course, it is better for everyone to fight for blood! ”

Yu Lei and Niu Chong immediately said: "Brother Ge's proposal is exactly what I want. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden! Ge Jin saw that everyone agreed, and immediately ordered the preparation of the incense case. After a while, everything was ready, and everyone knelt in front of the incense case and swore an oath. Then according to age to size, the order of brothers was arranged. Yang Zhou is the biggest and is the eldest brother. Next are Feiyun, Yu Lei, Tianxiang, Ge Jin, Niu Chong, Zhang Long, Zhang Feng, Liangchen, Jingjing and other eight people, a total of forty people.

After the crowd bowed, they sat down to discuss the matter. Yang Zhou said: "Brother Ge Jin, you are resourceful, and you will be our military advisor in the future." In your opinion, what should we do next? ”

Ge Jin thought for a moment and said: "After we are all Yangzhou rebels, we should uphold the will of loyalty and righteousness, fight hard to resist Wu Zhou, and restore Li Tang." But now it is the faint king and the traitorous minister in charge. Even if we have a heart, we can't play a role. In my opinion, we have two big things to do. The first is to get rid of the traitorous ministers and cut off the arm of the faint king. secondly, he forced Wu Zetian to abdicate and make way for Xian, and passed the throne to the descendants of the Li Tang family. ”

Niu Chong said: "Brother Ge, we are now outnumbered, why don't we just go and kill Wu Zetian?" In this way, wouldn't it be possible to change the dynasty? It's going to take a lot of time to do what you say. Everyone agreed with Niu Chong's opinion.

Feiyun felt that Ge Jin was right, so he said, "Brothers, we might as well listen to Brother Ge finish speaking, and then we will discuss it together." Only then did everyone shut up and asked Ge Jin to continue.

Ge Jin continued: "This matter cannot be rushed. Think about it, if we break into the palace at this moment and kill Wu Zetian. So who is likely to inherit the throne, and can the people of the Li family ascend to the throne? For a moment no one could answer.

Feiyun pondered for a moment and said, "If Wu Zetian dies at this moment, then the most likely person to inherit the throne is Wu Sansi. I've seen this man, and he's embarrassed, he's a treacherous villain. On the contrary, Wu Zetian's son Li Xian is a little better, but he is very cowardly. It's just that this person is too filial to Wu Zetian, I'm afraid that even if he succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult to get rid of Wu Zetian's influence. Yang Zhou asked, "Brother Feiyun, why do you say that?" ”

Feiyun said: "When we were in the capital, we were often with Li Xian and had some understanding of the situation in the imperial court. That Li Xian has a weak personality and is greedy for enjoyment, and he is still a person who has no opinions. But he is Wu Zetian's third son, and of course it is justifiable for him to inherit the throne. Li Xian and Wu Sansi were at a stalemate, and Wu Zetian had to give up temporarily. ”

Ge Jin continued: "What the second brother said is true. These little brothers also know something, so they suggest this. Now the power of the court is basically controlled by the Wu family. If Wu Zetian died at this time, Wu Sansi and his gang would definitely use their power to directly push him to succeed him. There was no support in Li Xian's palace, and there was no help in the court. Under such circumstances, even if Li Xian ascends to the throne, he can only be a puppet, and he will inevitably be controlled by others. However, once Wu Sansi succeeded to the throne, he decided to continue to reuse the Wu family. In that case, the tide will go and there will be nothing we can do. After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Ge Jin then thought that the affairs of the capital were too far away, so it was better to deal with the corrupt officials in Jinling City first. He wanted to get rid of the Qin Hui for the people of Jiangnan, and at the same time attack the Wu Zhou court. Then occupy Jinling and launch a mutiny. Wu Zetian sent people to exterminate him, and if it was Li Xian, he and others would support Li Xian as the emperor. If the person who came was Wu Sansi, he would have taken the opportunity to kill this traitor.

Feiyun opposed the rebellion, believing that it would bring greater disaster to the people. But in the future, you can find an opportunity to get rid of Qin Hui, a corrupt official, first, lest he continue to endanger the people. If Qin will continue to be the Taishou, it will definitely harm the people of Jinling.

Yang Zhou listened to Feiyun's words, and it was difficult to decide for a while. He frowned and asked, "Brother Ge, what do you think we should do?" It doesn't hurt to be straight! ”

Ge Jin said that after thinking about it, he said: "We must first send people to the imperial court to inquire and know the dynamics of the court from all sides, and secondly, continue to observe the two most likely to succeed Li Xian and Wu Sansi." Just now, the second brother talked about the situation of these two people separately, and I believe that what he said is true. But this matter is too important, we must be more cautious, and I have to ask the second brother to bear with me! ”

Feiyun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ge, this is a matter of course. My opinion is for reference only, and in the end, it is natural for everyone to evaluate it together. ”

Ge Jin continued: "This matter is not in a hurry, put it aside first. We still need to find out. Although he can't attack Wu Zetian now, he must get rid of Qin Taishou as soon as possible. This is to eliminate harm for the people, and the other is to fight Wu Zetian. But Second Brother Lin is right, we don't need to think about raising troops to rebel immediately. ”
