Volume 1 The Smoke of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 49 Sharpening the Knife Huo Huo But it is an empty city plan
Jiang Zhongsheng glanced at the two of them and said, "To be exact, it should be the eldest brother who has looked for me." ”
"Have you been looking for you?" Xu Junji asked, "What is Tyrone looking for you for?"
"Three days ago, my eldest brother came to me and said that Shen Wanshan had begun to suspect him. The current Protector Army is worried about internal and external troubles, and my eldest brother came to me and asked me if I could contact King Linzi. Before I could tell the little prince, I was sent out on this mission. Jiang Zhongsheng replied.
A trace of worry flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes, and he said, "Could it be that Tai Long is also going to leave the Protector Army and join the little prince." ”
Jiang Zhongsheng nodded and said, "That's what it means." However, the eldest brother didn't say it explicitly, only said that he hoped to contact the little prince through me. ”
Xu Junji looked at Chen Yifan and said, "When we left, only you and the eldest brother met for the last time, what did he say at the time?"
Chen Yifan's eyes appeared in front of the picture of that year.
Funiu Mountain, Jingzhou, the main altar of Guiyijiao.
"You only have two paths. 1. Disband and return to the Unified Sect, otherwise the Predator Legion will be killed in half an hour, and Funiu Mountain will be razed to the ground. 2. Agree to the imperial court's recruitment plan, hand over the command, and merge one-third of the Guiyi Sect into the Shence Army, one-third into the border guards, and one-third into the United Army, and all the personnel on the list will be handed over to the Soldiers and Horses Division for custody. "The general of Jin Wuwei who went up the mountain to be in charge of negotiations is Liao Zhiping, and the Jin Wuwei who surrounded Funiu Mountain is Liao Zhiping's iron-blooded army.
Shen Wanshan looked at the list in front of him, and his heart ached with convulsions. This is the core personnel of the Unified Church, and they have all followed him for more than ten years. The names of the four Tsing Yi protectors, the four white-clothed envoys, and the guardian saints of the zodiac are all on the list.
Liao Zhiping drank tea, his eyes always staring at Shen Wanshan. He knew that he needed to give Shen Wanshan time to think now, and pressing step by step would only make this gangster jump off the wall in a hurry.
Shen Wanshan asked, "Can you give the brothers on the list a way to live?"
Liao Zhiping took a sip of tea, gently put down the teacup, and smiled: "Sect Master Shen is too worried. The queen of heaven has explained to the general, once the Guiyi Sect accepts Zhao'an, the sect leader will be named Xiangyang Hou, and the brothers in the sect will be included in the imperial court, and the people on the list will only be temporarily detained, and they will not do anything to them, not to mention that now the imperial court is the time to employ people, maybe one day they will be released to be loyal to the queen of heaven, so the Shen sect leader does not have to worry too much. ”
Shen Wanshan sighed and said, "I'm afraid that they won't be caught and sit still." If you don't let the queen of heaven make a decree, I can give them an explanation. ”
Liao Zhiping smiled and said, "Sect Master Shen is so angry, the queen of heaven only gave Ben Jiang half a month's deadline, and this kind of thing can't be reached within twenty days." According to Ben Jiang, the sect leader should first recall the people on the list to Funiu Mountain and hand them over to Ben General. ”
Shen Wanshan said: "Now only Tai Long and the four white-clothed envoys are on the mountain, and the others are far away in Qingzhou, and it will be difficult to gather for a while, why don't I discuss with them first, and then reply to General Liao?"
Liao Zhiping smiled, still unhurried, and said: "Sect Master Shen, the one who knows the times is Junjie." In the current situation, the sect leader has his own judgment, and Ben will also act on orders, hoping that the sect leader will not make Ben general difficult. ”
Shen Wanshan sighed: "General Liao, rest assured! The Guiyi Sect has long been loyal to the Queen of Heaven, and it will definitely not say one thing and do another, but the people in the rivers and lakes are wild and untamable, so they can only be slowly figured out." Once the heart of the jade is aroused, it is difficult for you and me to explain to the queen of heaven, right?"
Liao Zhiping nodded and said, "That's it." Ben would have given the Sect Master three days. Three days later, Ben will return to Funiu Mountain, hoping that the sect leader will give Ben an explanation. ”
Shen Wanshan said: "Thank you General Liao for thinking about us." This is a little careful, not a respect, and I hope that General Liao will not shirk. After speaking, Shen Wanshan beckoned, and Tyrone walked out of the back hall and handed over a stack of silver tickets.
Liao Zhiping smiled and said, "The sect leader is polite! In this case, Ben Jiang will not hide it from the sect leader, the queen of heaven originally intended to let the sect leader personally dispose of the people on the list, as long as the sect leader can not go against the will of the queen of heaven, Ben will also turn a blind eye, the sect leader can do it himself!" After speaking, he took the silver ticket and left.
Shen Wanshan sat back on the chair and said weakly: "Heaven is going to die, and I will return to the One Sect." ”
Tyrone stood in front of Shen Wanshan with a cold face and said, "Sect Master, what should we do?"
Shen Wanshan thought for a while and said, "You go and inform Xu Jiang and Chen that you don't have to go back to Funiu Mountain." In addition, I asked the white-clothed envoy to contact the zodiac, dissolve the halls of Qingzhou and Jizhou, and turn from light to dark, hoping that the queen of heaven was just a whim, and I went to Luoyang to act as a hostage to see if I could persuade the queen of heaven to let go of the Guiyi Church. Let's talk about the future according to the situation. ”
Tyrone said: "Tyrone swears to follow the sect leader to the death, and his subordinates will go to Luoyang with you, as for Xu Jiang and Chen, his subordinates will let his brothers go to inform them." ”
Shen Wanshan said: "You better go in person." Chen Yifan is now in Gangneung to deal with the affairs of the Deng family. You ask him to send a message to Xu Jiang and the others, and leave if he can. The general situation is unknown, first find a place to lie dormant for a while, and wait until I see the queen of heaven to figure out the situation. ”
"Good!" Tyrone replied in a deep voice, expressionless.
......
Chen Yifan looked at Xu Junji and Jiang Zhongsheng and said, "Tailong took Shen Wanshan's pro-military camp to end us back then. He told me personally that Shen Wanshan was going to use our Xiang Shang's head as a petition to join the imperial court, and let me inform you two to leave early. ”
"Then why didn't he leave back then?" Xu Junji was still confused.
"How do I know? When I found you, Tyrone and Shen Wanshan had already gone to Luoyang. The next thing is that we are wanted by the portrait, if we hadn't been hiding in the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years, we probably would have been arrested a long time ago. Chen Yifan said with a blushing face.
Xu Junji looked at Jiang Zhongsheng and asked, "How did Tyrone contact you?"
"Three days ago, Tyrone went directly to Xiulin Yuan to find me, and I suspect that he already knew that we were hiding in Yangzhou. Jiang Zhongsheng responded.
"That's weird. Back then, he let us go without telling Shen Wanshan, and now he is looking for us to connect with the little prince behind Shen Wanshan's back, which one is this singing?" Xu Junji touched his chin with a suspicious expression.
Chen Yifan said: "Don't think about these things yet. Let's think about whether or not we will fight tonight. ”
"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. Xu Junji thought for a while and said, "Let's take the Dengchu warehouse first." Even if Tai Long wants to return to the palace of the prime minister, it is imperative to cut off the layout of Shen Wanshan Jiangnan Dongdao. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the little prince when we go back, right?"
"Hmm. Let's do what we just discussed. Chen Yifan said.
"Okay!" the three of them split up and began to arrange the people.
Half an hour later, the main entrance of the Dengchu warehouse began to be attacked. Xu Junji easily opened the main gate with thirty people.
Silence and no one.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The warehouse was empty, and there was no one in it at all. The door opened as soon as it was pushed.
Xu Junji, Jiang Zhongsheng, and Chen Yifan joined forces and looked at each other, all with incredible expressions.
And at this time, Mo Yan and the others also arrived.
Dong Lin and Mo Yan hid in the shadows, watching Xu Jiang and Chen lead people to rush into the Dengchu warehouse, but there was no one around. Dong Lin said: "It seems that we are late." ”
Mo Yan said: "Those who came early also came to the air. It seems that Shen Wanshan has already taken precautions. I just don't understand, where did these people come from? Are they friends or foes?"
Dong Lin said: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, let's take a look first." ”
Xu Jiang and Chen got together, discussed for a while, and each took the people to divide into three ways and left while the night was dark.
"What should we do?" Dong Lin looked at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan shrugged his shoulders and quipped, "Cold salad." If I'm not mistaken, they should be Li Sanlang's people, we fought in Gaoyou, but they came here, is it also to make us angry?"
Dong Lin smiled: "You want to be beautiful." ”
"Let's go back, we have to hurry back and tell the young master. Mo Yan said.
Back and forth, the sky was already hazy.
When Mo Yan knocked on the door, Ma Yangchen had already gotten up and finished washing.
"Where did you two go to the wild all night?" Ma Yangchen asked when he saw Mo Yan and the others enter the door.
"I wanted to catch an eagle, but I didn't think about it, but I didn't think about it. Mo Yan said with a look of regret.
"Oh, let's hear it, where to catch the eagle, why do you fly in the air?" Ma Yangchen hung the towel for washing his face back on the shelf.
Mo Yan explained the matter one by one, and said: "The more Dong Lin and I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, so we can only rush back to listen to the young master's thoughts." ”
Ma Yangchen listened carefully and said with a smile: "Go and order something to eat first, and call Jun Qianhua over in a while, and Dong Xin, have breakfast together." I'll give you a lesson later. ”
"Okay!" Dong and Mo turned to leave.
After breakfast, Dong Xin hugged the rag doll and asked Ma Yangchen: "Big brother, can I give Xiaohua a bath? ”
Ma Yangchen smiled: "Of course, let Uncle Mo bring you a basin of water in a while, and Xinxin will go to the next room to bathe Xiaohua, okay?"
"Good. Dong Xin hugged Xiaohua and returned to the next door.
Mo Yan fetched water, sent it over, hurried back to the house, and couldn't wait to say, "Young master, let's start class." ”
Ma Yangchen cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Now at Hailingcang Ferry, there are four groups of people. The first is Jia Xiaolin's men and horses left here by the Yasukuni Gong, the second is the men and horses of Li Sanlang that you just mentioned, the third is Shen Wanshan's old department in Hailingcang, and the fourth is the men and horses of Fourth Uncle Shen that we brought over. Of the four teams, we are the only ones in the spot. If we just withdraw and don't contact Jia Xiaolin's men, what do you think will happen next?"
Mo Yan thought for a while and said, "Shen Wanshan will treat the people sent by Li Sanlang as our people. ”
"Possibly. What else?" Ma Yangchen continued.
Dong Lin said: "There is a greater possibility that Shen Wanshan will follow this group of people to check back, Li Sanlang's people are empty in the Dengchu warehouse, and they must be in a hurry to return to Gaoyou." If I were Shen Wanshan, I would naturally follow this line. ”
Jun Qianhua said: "Not really. The Tianpeng Tianying brothers came with the line of the young master. If he couldn't see the young master, Shen Wanshan wouldn't go back backwards. ”
