"Ahead is Paradise Island."

Shen Lian stood at the bow of the boat and watched the island in the distance, Ah Jin flew over to investigate, returned quickly, and when he came back, he did not fly around Shen Lian, but dropped a piece of meat.

A broken arm, to be exact.

The tiger's mouth and fingertips were calloused, and it was obvious that the blood had coagulated after holding the sword for a long time, and even flies had been born, and the time of death was about two or three days.

Shen Lian quickly analyzed: "There should be a fire on Bule Island, I'll investigate." ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded.

Shen Lian's martial arts are strong, his skin is rough and his flesh is thick, even if he encounters a powerful trap, he can escape in time.

Ah Jin led the way ahead, and Shen Lian flew directly to the woods in the mountains behind Bule Island and found the mass grave.

There were hundreds of corpses lying here, the corpses outside had been burned and had become charred, and the corpses below were stacked on top of each other, emitting a pungent stench.

Shen Lian endured the nausea and blasted out his palm, shook out the corpses underground, patiently checked, and found that there were not only bandits from Bule Island, but also Dongying warriors here.

Could it be that the Dongying people have captured Bule Island?

Wrong!

This corpse died from the Shaolin Mighty King Kong palm, this corpse died from the Wudang Tiger Claw Hand, and this corpse died from the flying needle hidden weapon, which seems to be ...... Sunflower Treasure!

Shen Lian quickly sorted the corpses.

There are three waves of forces on this island, one is naturally Bule Island, one is the Dongying samurai, and the last wave is the unknown force, they are the yellow sparrow of this battle.

Judging from the traces of the corpses, the corpses on Bula Island were mainly the injuries caused by the katana, as well as the injuries of the mysterious masters, and the scars of the Toei samurai were partly from Bulakuni Island, and partly from that group of masters.

It's just that most of the injuries caused by Buladao are on the chest, and most of the other wounds are on the back.

Shen Lian quickly drew the process in his mind:

The samurai of the Yagyu clan of the Dongying clan teamed up with a mysterious force to attack the island of Paradise, and after capturing the island, the group of forces launched a sneak attack and attacked the samurai of the Yagyu family.

First, this group of forces is very powerful, proficient in the mastery of all major schools in the Central Plains, especially Shaolin, Shen Lian found traces of twelve Shaolin stunts.

Second, this group of forces is very trustworthy, or there are big forces to guarantee their credit, so that the samurai of the Yagyu family trust them very much.

3. They killed all the masters of Bule Island, killed all the Dongying warriors, and emptied the treasure house of Bule Island, but their purpose was neither to plunder nor to occupy territory.

Fourth, why is it a bit like the power of the imperial court?

If a certain force has masters under its command who are proficient in Shaolin Wudang and other major sects, and also understand the Sunflower Treasure Book and Tongzi Gong, most of this force is subordinate to the imperial court.

This also answers the question of "credit".

If there is a guarantee from the imperial court, the Yanagi family will not be too guarded, even if they will not be fully trusted.

This also answers the question of "goals".

Perhaps what the emperor wanted was cooperation, but this force chose to stab in the back and did things very neatly.

Are all the forces of the imperial court loyal to the emperor?

Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Six Gates, which force is not hiding a group of traitors? The Manchu blood drops, the eleven wings of the Jin Kingdom, also buried an unknown number of shadows.

If it was the power of a certain imperial court, this force first used the credit of the imperial court as a guarantee, reached a cooperation with the Yanagi family, and then stabbed in the back mercilessly.

What does this mean?

It shows that this force has a rebellious heart.

Either Zhao Jingzhong, who has been buried for many years and is a pawn of a traitor, or there are different forces within the court, and some forces are not satisfied with the emperor.

The former is simply impossible to guess.

How do you guess this?

I don't even know where to guess.

Shen Lian could only think of the Green Dragon Society and the Power Gang, these two are almighty backstabbers, and all undercover agents are spies of the Green Dragon Society, or Liu Suifeng's secret chess.

If it is a force that is not satisfied with the emperor......

This is definitely not the Central Plains force, who can fight for Lao Zhu in the court? This is a joke about the Nine Clans.

Alien forces, first of all, except for Dongying, the Yanagi family will not trust Dongying's other samurai families, and secondly, excluding Meng Yuan, the Mengyuan royal family is still very united.

The rest of the forces are all possible.

Let's start with the northwest, Warat.

Warat Khan is not spoiled, and most of the power falls into the hands of the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

According to the information revealed by Zhang Danfeng, his father Zhang Zongzhou clearly helped Totoku Buhua to fight for power, and secretly was an ally of the first one, and was planning to backstab Totoku Buhua.

Let's talk about the north, Liao.

Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, was a little weak in character, loved the culture of the Central Plains, and adopted a friendly attitude towards the Central Plains for a long time, which made the nobles quite dissatisfied.

When Li Xunhuan went to the north a few days ago, he investigated the intelligence of the Liao State by the way, and the Liao State still had a confused account.

Yelu Hongji's grandfather, Yelu Longxu, had two powerful sons, the eldest son Yelu Zong was true and generous, and the second son Yelu Chongyuan was brave and good at fighting.

When Yelu Longxu died, the testament was passed on to Yelu Zongzhen, but the queen mother favored her second son and wanted to revise the emperor's edict, but she didn't want Yelu Chongyuan to learn about it, so she told Yelu Zongzhen and supported her eldest brother to be the emperor.

Yelu Zong was really moved, and made Yelu Chongyuan the emperor's younger brother on the spot, saying that if I die, you will be the emperor of Liao, and our brothers will not distinguish each other.

When you are healthy, you don't have to die, but when you are about to die, before Yelu Zongzhen died, let his son Yelu Hongji be the emperor, the emperor's younger brother, just if it doesn't happen, younger brother, you are a younger brother.

In order to calm the situation, Yelu Hongji named Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle, crowned the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, exempted himself from worshipping in the court, gave a gold coupon oath, and named his son Yelu Nelugu as the king of Chu and the king of the Southern Courtyard.

This can be said to be a few nonsense.

How can the matter of the throne be such a child's play?

Either give a false job and hold it high, or kill it with a hot hand, what's going on now?

Are you waiting for your uncle to rob you?

Yelu Chongyuan's prestige is much higher than Yelu Hongji, and he also has military power, if it weren't for the friendship with the Central Plains in recent years, the border customs trade, mutual benefit, and a lot of benefits, I am afraid that the throne would have been unable to be kept a long time ago.

Even if Yelu Chongyuan was selfless and worked hard for the Liao country, his son Yelu Nelugu had long wanted to rebel, and he was only one chance to make a move.

Further north of the Liao State were the Jin Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Both are divided internally.

Jin Guozhen Guoshen was completely determined, and he dreamed of becoming the emperor, but he had no force and no eloquence to govern the country, and the ministers did not obey him.

In the fierce battle of the Tang Gate before, Tang Bingbing arrived in the Jin Kingdom with the ninety-nine lonely troops of the Tang Gate, coupled with the dozens of stunts inherited by the Tang Gate, which greatly increased its power.

Wan Yan is a reckless man who can only swing his fists, but Tang Bingbing is quite capable, Tang Fifteen is arrogant and boundless, but he can gather so many people, Tang Bingbing has made a lot of contributions.

With the help of Tang Bingbing, Wanyan decided to be supported by several important ministers, and the opportunity seemed to be close at hand.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was the sequelae of the nine sons sequelae.

In this world of masters, due to the small territory and small population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the influence of martial arts masters is greater than that of the Central Plains, so Yongzheng cannot easily clean up his brothers as in history.

For example, the ninth prince Yun Yu, his mother is Concubine Yi Guo Luo Luo, when he was young, he paid a private visit with Kangxi Weifu, and the two oldest worshippers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were friends of life and death, relying on the protection of these two people, Yun Yu lived very freely.

It can be called the "little whirlwind" Chai Jin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

For example, the eighth prince Lian Prince Yunxi, the "Eight Sage Kings" whose reputation spread throughout the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was one of the strongest enemies before Yongzheng ascended the throne, and he wanted to get rid of it with a hot hand, but in order to balance the power of the court, he needed to be appointed and reused.

Everyone understands that the eighth prince Yunyu, the ninth prince Yunyu, and the tenth prince Yunyun are all against Yongzheng.

Now I didn't seize the opportunity, as long as I was caught by Yun Yu, and then united with the Fourteenth Prince Yun Yu, as well as the old banner master of the Eight Banners, I would definitely stab him in the back.

See who is Baturu and who is Aqina.

Shen Lian remembered that Yun Yu confidently said that he had a ninety percent chance of winning in his hands, and even if he lost, he also had a plan to divide Yongzheng's two sons, Hongli and Hongshi.

Ninety percent of the chances, the remaining ninety-one percent?

Shall we give him a few percent?

Maybe we should help with this.

Shen Lian scratched his chin, and said in his heart that he was not good at this kind of thing, he should let Mi Cangqiong do it, or let Lu Bing do it, they are the best at juggling right and wrong.

Warat, Liao, Jin, Manchu.

Which force did it?

Am I a backstabber?

As we all know, Shen Lian led his troops to exterminate the Japanese Invaders, and when he saw the Yanagi family looting the island, he was furious and sent troops to kill them all, and this reason was natural.

No one can fault it.

Even Shen Lian himself, wanting to find a reason to refute, didn't know how to speak, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

"The calculation is good, not only to get benefits, but also to pit the emperor and Dongying at the same time, and then use me, the back-stabber, to retreat, what a good means!"

Shen Lian closed his eyes and thought silently.

Yexian has a domineering personality and likes to be upright, these methods are not on the table in Yexian, and Warat is too far away from the ocean, this plan is meaningless.

Jerunerugu was fighting his troops, and he wanted to rebel with his soldiers, but he probably didn't do it.

Wan Yan Jue, his stone mind, even Tang Fifteen can fool him, he shouldn't have thought of this, if Wan Yan Jue comes, he will definitely stay here, use the Jin Guo Heaven and Earth Hegemony Fist, and touch his Tiger Roar Emperor Fist.

Prince Lian Yunxi, the first Aqina of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are some possibilities, although this person has a good name, he is actually insidious and vicious, with a honey-bellied sword, and he is the best at pretending.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, although you are either pirates or widows, but since you are dead, you should also be buried well, and you should not be fed to wild beasts and maggots."

Shen Lian's hands rubbed rapidly, and the palms rubbed into scorching sparks, igniting all the corpses in front of him.

A fire burned, clean!

so as not to pollute the vast tracts of land here.

After a while, Tang Shunzhi brought people to arrive.

"Who are these people?"

"Here's the thing......"

Shen Lian said his speculation, but he didn't say that his guess was made by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this speculation is too shocking, it is better to hide it in his mind for the time being.

Tang Shunzhi: "If I guess, I think it is the Manchu Dynasty, you may not know that the Manchu Dynasty had a naval army back then, and the name of the commander was ......"

“…… Shi Lang! ”

"That's right, it's Shi Lang, Brother Shen is really knowledgeable, and he even knows about it!"

"Brother Tang, how to deal with it here?"

"Keep it, if it was done by the Manchu Dynasty, they might make a new arrangement here, or they would use it as a springboard to contact the Daming Water Master, the Manchu Eight Sages Prince Lian, that is really virtuous!"

Tang Shunzhi sneered disdainfully.

Is the title "Virtuous King" given casually?

If this title is taken out, it is a death, it is the name of death, and it is also a matter of death, Prince Lian should not be too far from the day he dies.

But then again, if Prince Lian is allowed to be a carefree prince, or to assist Yongzheng as wholeheartedly as the thirteenth prince, it is absolutely impossible.

You can kill me.

You can change my name to Aqina and change it to Seth Black, but I'll never throw in the towel.

That's Yun Hee's idea.

Shen Lian sincerely hoped that Yun Yu could hold out for a few more years.

Everyone searched carefully on Bule Island, and found that there were no living people on the entire island, and the treasure house was also scavenged, and even the katana of the Dongying samurai was taken away by the Manchu masters, leaving only a large pile of corpses.

Feng Suzhen frowned, she and Shen Lian had been out practicing for so long, and what she was best at was reasoning.

"Since the other party left the corpse, he just wants to tell us that there is a force that has taken a fancy to this place, and it is the power of the foreign court, and he wants to cooperate with us."

Tang Shunzhi spread his hands: "This matter has nothing to do with me, let Dongchang talk to them." ”

Shen Lian waved his hand to object: "Jinyiwei should be allowed to talk to them, Dongchang is too ruthless." ”

Feng Suzhen said: "What are we going to do?" ”

Shen Lian said with a smile: "Of course, it is to leave this beautiful island, and by the way, record my merits, this is the family crest of the Yanagi family, one of the corpses, is the strongest genius of the Liusheng family, the Yanagi Zongju." ”

"Yagyu is dead like this?"

"Who doesn't die on this sea? It would not be strange for anyone to die, even if Miyamoto Musashi showed up and was beaten to death, there was nothing strange. ”

Shen Lian was quite calm about this.

Dongying is also a talented person now, compared to those legendary characters, there is still a little gap between Yanagi Zongqi, and Yanagi Shibei is about the same.

Tang Shunzhi quipped: "If Miyamoto Musashi appears in this sea area, it will be difficult to surround and kill him, this guy was very dirty when he was young." ”

can make Tang Shunzhi, who led the troops to fight, say that the opponent's tactics are dirty, which shows how dirty Miyamoto Musashi is.

This thing is desperate for victory.

It is said that he agreed to a duel with someone back then, and the opponent was a respected old man, and according to the rules of Dongying, the younger generation should arrive early, at least not late.

Miyamoto Musashi was two hours late, so that the old man blew the cold wind for two hours in the cold winter wax moon, and then at dusk, he came from the direction of the sun, dazzling the sun and ice and snow, and then used an extra-long katana sharpened from the oars to pierce his heart.

Crisp and neat, one knife kills.

Miyamoto Musashi won, but the tactics he used, even if it were Shen Lian, felt that it was too dirty.

I forgot to mention that Miyamoto Musashi is known as the martial god of Zhenguo in Toei, but he has two kinds of weapons, using a katana in martial arts competitions and spears in battle.

Miyamoto Musashi also played with guns. (End of chapter)
