After Yokoyama Sakurako left, Fang Xiaoyu immediately turned his gaze to Yongqi Gege: "I said Gege, can I ask you to help me a little?"

As soon as Yongqi Gege heard Fang Xiaoyu ask her for help, he immediately became proud: "If you want me to help, you actually have times when you ask me for help, have you always thought that I was a burden and dragged you back?"

Fang Xiaoyu resolutely denied it: "I didn't say that!"

"But that's what you think in your heart. ”

Yongqi Gege didn't save face for him at all.

Fang Xiaoyu said helplessly: "These days, you have been staying at my house to eat and drink, and you have secretly sent some meals back to Ama and Eniang, didn't I say anything, can't I ask Gege for a little help now?"

"It's not no, but you have to bribe me," Yongqi Gege's eyebrows smiled into curved eyebrows: "What about me, the requirements are not high, I don't want gold, silver or jewelry, I just want to eat a delicious meal, these days have not been in a hurry for a few days, I not only can't sleep well, I'm tired and sleepy, I can't even eat hot food when I rest, and now it's hard to take a break, you say you should comfort me well, my requirements are also high, I just want to eat hot pot." ”

"You think that fighting mountain bandits is a joke, that's not a tour of the mountains and rivers, for the concealment of the whereabouts, Xiaoxing sleeps overnight, eats and drinks dew is a must, I know that you can't bear this hardship, let you stay in the house and wait for news, but you just don't listen, you have to pay for this crime, what can I do?"

"I don't care, if you want me to help anyway, you'll have to treat me. ”

"Okay," Hearing Yongqi Gege's words, Fang Xiaoyu was also a little helpless: "Anyway, there are a lot of wild game and medicinal materials in this mountain, and it is not too difficult to get the whole hot pot out." ”

Yongqi Gege was very satisfied with Fang Xiaoyu's attitude: "This is like talking, it's the attitude of begging for someone, you tell me what you want me to help me do." ”

"We came out this time to exterminate the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road, and now we have taken the Crouching Tiger Cliff in the smoke and dust of the seventy-two roads without much effort, and there are no casualties, but there are too many bandits here, and we can't take care of this person at all, and more importantly, I want to take advantage of the other mountain bandits to react before they can run long distances, hit them by surprise, and capture more bandit cottages, which means that we can't leave too many people here to guard, and it is only expedient to close their acupoints, but it will inevitably cause some adverse consequences if the closure lasts too long, can you notify your Eniang and Amma, so that they can rush over as quickly as possible, only in this way can we concentrate all our forces to fight the other bandits by surprise, if we wait for others to react, and then we want to succeed, then we will have to pay a sufficient price. ”

"I can help with this," Yongqi Gege's eyes flashed: "But you have to help me say good things in front of Bai Mei and let him accept me as an apprentice." ”

"This is a bit difficult," Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but say, "People don't even confiscate my apprentice now, let alone you?"

Yongqi Gege's face was stiff: "Then do you agree?"

Fang Xiaoyu had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, I can help you say it, but I don't guarantee if people agree to it." ”

Yongqi Gege agreed: "As long as you help with this, now I will go to Xiumei, she has carrier pigeons there, and she can contact me directly." ”

Soon after Yongqi Gege left, Yokoyama Sakurako walked back and handed Fang Xiaoyu a map of the distribution of acupoints in the human body and the secret of "Seventy Peaks Nodding Together": "The Taoist chief said that you should learn a little bit in the future, and he will bother him in the future for such trivial things as acupoints and acupoints, he is here to give you a town, not to be a nanny." ”

Hearing what Yokoyama Sakurako said, Fang Xiaoyu also felt a little embarrassed to trouble a master like Bai Mei for this trivial matter: "Isn't it that I don't know how to point and solve acupoints, you said to let him help a little, why does he talk so much?"

However, Yokoyama Sakurako did not borrow Fang Xiaoyu's words.

After saying this, Fang Xiaoyu also felt bored: "Okay, now that the mountain bandits have been subdued, let's go up the mountain and see our loot." ”

Then Fang Xiaoyu and the others led everyone to escort the three bandit leaders and a cadre of bandits to the cliff, although there were more than 200 bandits on the cliff at this time, but their skills and the bandits under the cliff, it was much worse than a little, in front of Fang Xiaoyu and these people, they couldn't afford to raise a little storm at all, even if some people were ready to resist, but they were quickly subdued one by one, locked in the prison behind the cottage, its smoothness was far beyond the expectations of Prince Yongyan and his guard Li Yong, Li Yong was even more confused about this, is this the rumored bandit that even the imperial army can not exterminate, so he asked a little confused: "Master, do you say that this is the bandit that even the imperial army can't exterminate reported by the officials below?"

Yongyan snorted coldly: "It depends on who is the bandit, although my imperial uncle has first-class martial arts and intelligence, but his mind is also very big, you said that if he exterminates the Red Flower Society, the Heaven and Earth Society, the Dragon Slayer Gang, the Sun and Moon Society, the White Lotus Sect and the mountain bandits in various places, what reason do you think he has to continue to hold on to the military power?"

Li Yong was stunned when he heard this: "What does the prince mean is that the prince Rong is playing with the enemy?"

"What is your name?" Yongyan glared at Li Yong hatefully: "Pay attention to me in the future, Xiaoyu and Shiyu don't know my true identity, don't reveal my identity to them, just call me young master in front of outsiders." ”

"Yes, young master!" Li Yong looked very deferential: "Can the young master see what Fang Xiaoyu will do next?"

"I don't know this, when I left Hangzhou, he was preparing to take the Gongsheng exam, but I didn't expect that when we met again, he was already a Gongsheng master registered in the imperial court. ”

"Slave, I hope that Young Master Fang can smoothly extinguish the smoke and dust of the Seventeenth Road this time. ”

Yongyan was stunned when he heard it: "What do you mean?"

"Although you have been trained to be the prince of the court, your position is not stable. He Shen is such a powerful rival, including the elder brother who looks down on your position, although your martial arts intelligence is outstanding among the elder brothers, but this does not mean that your position is unbreakable, Prince Rong is full of talents, masters like clouds, holding the elite of the three banners, and Shen is a generation of powerful ministers, most of the officials of the court are from his subordinates, and that Fu Ankang is relying on the emperor's favor, and he does not take you in his eyes at all, and now he is even more colluded with He Shen, if he is not interested in your position as the prince, do you believe it？”

Yongyan smiled: "Even if he is interested in me, what's the use, he is not the grandson of the elder brother!"

"Lord Wang, you don't know, since the emperor sent you out of the palace, he will take Fu Ankang to the palace, carefully cultivated, now there are rumors outside, many people say that he is the emperor's illegitimate son, otherwise he will not become a celebrity in the dynasty with Shen, the courtiers mostly take their horses as their heads, but the prince you want to confront these people, you can't do it without your own cronies, without your own cronies, even if you will be crowned with a great treasure in the future, you can't fight against these people, at most it is a puppet, if the prince wants to really reign in the world, you have to have your own team, if Fang Xiaoyu can really suppress these mountain bandits, it is worth your careful cultivation。 ”

Although he knew that Li Yong was telling the truth, Yongyan's face still sank: "Li Yong, you have said it, this is not the way of a human minister, but this king, I hope that he is the dragon seed of Amma, if he is really a dragon species, it will not pose a threat to this king and me." ”

Li Yong was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"What kind of person is I, Amma, that is a self-proclaimed perfect old man, ancient and modern, that is a person who is destined to go down in history, how can he let his reputation have a little bit and stain, which means that even if Fu Ankang is the illegitimate son of his old man outside, he will not be able to admit it, let alone the illegitimate son of Fu Jin, who is a close minister of his cronies, if this thing is true, it will be a complete slap in the face, so even if Fu Ankang is Ama and his son, he cannot admit it, after all, this is a matter related to his reputation for thousands of years, even if this thing is true, he will give him a little preferential treatment at most, without the identity of a prince, no matter how strong his ability is, he has to be honest, and he can't threaten the position of the crown prince at all, otherwise it will be a rebellion, and without the identity of the prince, how many people do you say will follow him. ”

Hearing Yongyan say this, Li Yong came to his senses: "The prince taught me a lesson. ”

"If it is said that it is the most likely to rebel, that is my imperial uncle, although he is two generations older than me, but it seems that he is much younger than my Amma, some people say that as early as twenty years ago he has practiced the Buddha's Vajra is not bad, you must know that this is the only exercise in the rivers and lakes that can fight against the innate innate incompatibility of Bai Mei, and this skill has the effect of prolonging life, in the post-Three Kingdoms period, Lao Sima is relying on his longevity, survived the Cao family for several generations, and stole Cao Wei's power. ”

Li Yong's eyebrows locked slightly: "You mean that he will follow the example of Lao Sima?"

"This is the most compromising method, you must know that he has the Buddha King Kong is not bad magic to protect the body, this Shouyuan must be the people of ordinary people, but it is a pity that he has the meaning of the old Sima, but there is no old Sima's heart, with my Ama handed over the soldiers of the court to him little by little, his mind is alive, and he doesn't want to endure it anymore, so he refuses to return the military power in the name of banditry, but he forgets that it costs money to raise soldiers, and the court has taxes, but he has nothing, nothing, this is good to say in the short term, but after a long time, even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, you can't stand it, so he set his sights on Fang Long, but as a result, my Uncle Fang actually shorted Fang Long, Split it up and auctioned, Fang Long he got it, but the family was tossed up, in order to raise all the money, he even swallowed the Lei family that he supported himself, who do you say will follow a master who does not give himself security, after a long time, those people will definitely have different hearts. ”

"Are you saying that the raid on the Lei family was a failure made by Prince Rong?"

Yongyan replied: "But if he doesn't do that, he will step over now, although Fang Long makes money, but it also takes time, but those armies will not give him too much time, once the silver is not in place, the army will inevitably mutiny, but the problem is that he gets the Lei family's silver, it is only a temporary crisis, once the silver is gone, the army will still mutiny." ”

"Isn't there a solution?"

"Yes, that is, to rebel before he is forced into a corner, once he is forced to a corner, he will not have any chance to turn over, so we have to give my imperial uncle a chance to rebel, otherwise this bureau will drag on indefinitely, if it is not chaotic, we have to let him mess up, and now Amma is still cleaning him up. To put it bluntly, this seventeen roads of smoke and dust are a tool for my imperial uncle to collect money, and if we want him to move, we must first destroy his tool. ”

Hearing Yongyan's words, Li Yong couldn't help but feel a little chilled, this Prince Jia's mind is too terrifying, he is taking all the people as a game, in the next unprecedented overall situation.

"After you go up the mountain, you help those people sort out the gold, silver and soft materials on the mountain, I have to talk to Xiaoyu, so that he can move immediately and take the initiative to suppress the bandits. ”
