Li Qiufeng said: "This little Goro has been killed by Zhu Ju. ”

With a "bang", the wine glass in Zhuyue's hand fell to the ground, and it fell to pieces. Her face turned pale in an instant, and she said to Li Qiufeng in a trembling voice, "You, how do you know?"

Li Qiufeng told the month by month what happened in the Sangliangtian camp that night. After listening to it month by month, he muttered in his mouth: "This little devil has long wanted to get rid of Kogoro, but I didn't expect him to dare to do it......"

Li Qiufeng sneered: "People like Liu Sheng Zongyan and Zhu Ju, do you still have to work for them?"

At this time, Xiao Er ran over, apologized to the two of them, and quickly cleaned up the ground. After Xiao Er left, he smiled sadly and said, "Since Xiao Wulang was killed by Zhu Ju, I am afraid that everyone in the clan will be in danger." ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned, but listened to Zhuyue and continued: "Over the years, Kogoro has always regarded himself as the deputy of Yagyu Zongyan, and he has his own faction in the clan, and there are many clansmen who support him. Kogoro's death, the people who originally supported him must be in danger. It's just that although Yanagi Zongyan loves Zhu Ju and relies on Kogoro a lot, why would he tolerate him killing Kogoro?"

Li Qiufeng sneered: "You obviously know why Yanagi Zongyan would ignore Zhu Ju to kill Xiao Goro, why do you pretend not to know?"

Zhuyue's body trembled slightly, glanced at Li Qiufeng, and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Li Qiufeng said: "If you hadn't betrayed Zhu Ju that day, Yanagi Zongyan would not have acquiesced to Zhu Ju killing Xiao Goro." Zhu Ju fled back to Yanagi Zongyan, and he would definitely tell him about your betrayal. Yagyu Soiwa can tolerate you having an affair with Kogoro, but he must not allow you to betray Zhu Ju, whom he regards as the future patriarch. Since you betrayed him, it is difficult to guarantee that Kogoro will not be in trouble, so he will strike first and let Zhu Ju get rid of Kogoro. ”

Zhuyue's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "How do you know that I am ...... with Kogoro"

Li Qiufeng said: "I'm not a child. From your words, you can hear that you have a close relationship with Kogoro. What kind of character Yanagi Soyan is, I can see that you are by his side every day, how can he not know? It's just that he still wants to use you to kill people, and he has to rely on Kogoro to do things for him, so he has been holding back. It's just that with his heart, no matter whether his so-called 'big thing' succeeds in the future or not, you and Kogoro are the people he must get rid of, and now it's just a matter of advancing the time to get rid of the two of you. ”

Li Qiufeng said this, but his face changed again, and said: "It's not just the two of you that he wants to get rid of, I'm afraid that the entire Yanagi clan will be eliminated by him." ”

Moon muttered, "No." He was able to get to this point because of two or three hundred lives in the clan. If he achieves great things and puts Zhu Ju on the throne, the Yanagi family will be used by him. He promised that after he took over the great heaven, all the people in the clan would be great officials, and everyone would share the glory and wealth. At that time, he will mobilize a large army to cross the sea to the east, destroy the king and general of Fusang, and avenge the people who were killed in the Hanshan fishing village that year. ”

Li Qiufeng knew about Yanagi Zongyan's plan at this time, but he was also shocked in his heart. I only listened to Zhuyue and continued: "Yanagi Zongyan has long colluded with the powerful ministers in the Ming court, and there are some big people hiding behind it who also have a lot to do with Yanagi Zongyan. It's just that these people turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands into rain, and Yanagi Zongyan is also a false and wronged snake, the two sides join forces against the enemy, but they are always on guard against each other. The most powerful weapon in Yanagi Zongyan's hand now is Zhu Ju, because this is the concubine left by his daughter Yanagi Feiyan and the emperor of the previous dynasty. If the ministers were called on in the name of Zhu Ju, the throne of Emperor Jiajing would be unstable. It's just that those ministers in the DPRK and China are also weighing the pros and cons, and they haven't agreed to Yanagi Zongyan's conditions. If the cabinet elders in power and the cabinet scholars who have already made the ministers join forces to promote Zhu Ju to the throne, then Yagyu Soyan's major affairs will be successful. ”

Li Qiufeng sneered and said: "Liu Sheng Zongyan has done a good job in this Qingqiu dream, but he doesn't want to think about it, which of those ministers in the court is not a person with a lot of know-how, how can he be played with by him?"

Moon by month said: "After Yanagi Zongyan promised to make the deed, he would give them high-ranking officials Houlu......"

"High-ranking officials Houlu?" Li Qiufeng said with a smile, "They are already cabinet scholars, and they are senior officials above 10,000 people under one person. Even if Zhu Ju ascends the throne, unless these people are crowned kings, why don't they let them do good bachelors, and join forces with Liu Sheng Zongyan to jointly promote the new monarch to the throne? Moreover, if Zhu Ju can ascend the throne, the power of the court will inevitably be in the hands of Liu Sheng Zongyan, and when the time comes, Liu Sheng Zongyan will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the fate of these people will definitely be extremely miserable. You Fusang people have underestimated these officials of the Heavenly Empire, do you really think that you can use them just by relying on Yanagi Zongyan?"

Zhuyue originally respected and feared Yanagi Zongyan, and always felt that he was far-reaching and wise, but after listening to Li Qiufeng's words, he remembered that Yanagi Zongyan had been running around all these years, and he thought that he had a clever plan to sell, but he didn't want to be just a pawn in the hands of those court bigwigs.

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhuyue's face was cloudy, and knew that these words had moved her, and then said: "In fact, no matter whether the major event that Yanagi Zongyan is trying to succeed or fail or not, the nearly 1,000 people of your Liusheng clan will not be able to escape the fate of exterminating the clan in the end. If Liu Sheng Zongyan can support Zhu Ju to ascend the throne, the first thing is to destroy the Liu Sheng clan and cover up all the things he has done that cannot see the light, so that Zhu Ju can be a clean emperor. The second thing is to get rid of those court officials who have colluded with him and kill these people. If Yagyu Zongyan's plan fails, those bigwigs will either get rid of the Yanagi clan to destroy the mouth, or blame the Yanagi clan, and then the Yanagi clan will still be unable to escape the scourge of extermination......"

Hearing this, Zhuyue interrupted him and said, "What is the purpose of you talking to me about these words?"

Li Qiufeng said: "With only your and my strength, it is not easy to kill Liu Sheng Zongyan and Zhu Ju. Only by joining forces with the forces of the Yanagi clan that resist Yanagi Zongyan and Zhu Ju can Yanagi Zongyan and Zhu Ju be eradicated. Only in this way can you Yanagi clan escape the fate of extermination. ”

Zhuyue's face changed, and she said, "You want me to contact the clansmen and join forces to deal with Yanagi Zongyan?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Yes, Li Mou has this intention. I didn't know that you had a personal affair with Kogoro that day, and I thought about how to get Kogoro's men to rise up and confront Yagyu Soiwa and Zhu Ju. I can't imagine that God has eyes and sent you to me. Kogoro's subordinates will definitely listen to your persuasion, as long as you contact these people privately, Yagyu Zongyan's control over the Yanagi clan will no longer be monolithic, and we will have a chance. ”

Zhuyue sneered: "I wanted to use you, but I didn't expect you to use me too." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Not bad. We can only protect ourselves by using each other. ”

Zhu Yue said: "I am being used by you, what good can I do?"

Li Qiufeng said: "You can live, and your Yanagi clan will not be wiped out, and you will have a chance to return to Fusang." ”

Moon by month pondered for a long time, and said, "I'm not sure that those subordinates of Kogoro can help us do things. Yanagi Zongyan has a lot of eyes and ears in the clan, and he has extremely strict control over his subordinates. As soon as Kogoro dies, those cronies of his are afraid that they will be immediately eliminated by Yagyu Soiwa......"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Yanagi Zongyan will inevitably get rid of Kogoro's sworn friend, but now is the time for him to employ people, and he will not cut his wings." There is still something to be used by these people, because he will not do it right away. It's just that Kogoro's subordinates must also know that Yagyu Zongyan is going to attack him, so he must also have different ambitions at this time, and it is the best time to persuade them. ”

Zhuyue played with Xiao Er's newly changed cup with his right hand, and said after a long time: "Okay, I promise you." It's just that I've escaped from the Yanagi clan, and I don't know where they're hiding now. ”

Li Qiufeng smiled: "This is easy to do. It is you and me that Yanagi Zongyan wants to get rid of. As soon as I show up, the killers of the Yanagi clan will follow. Kill most of these killers, and the rest will inevitably flee back to report to Yagyu Soiwa. When the time comes, you will quietly follow the fleeing man, and you will naturally be able to find the hiding place of the Yanagi clan. ”

Zhuyue's face changed, and she said, "You are too terrifying, even more terrifying than Yanagi Zongyan sometimes. More than ten years ago, I saw the master of your brocade guard, and I was so frightened that my whole body trembled, and I didn't think that you were more cunning than that person. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "The Jinyi Wei master you saw is surnamed Qiao or Yun?"

Zhuyue said: "I heard them call him Lord Yun. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "His name is Yun Feiyang, he was one of the top ten masters in Jinyi Wei back then, and he is indeed a great character." ”

Zhu Yue said: "Where has this person gone now?"

Li Qiufeng smiled and said, "He has been killed by me." ”

Zhuyue's face changed greatly, and she said in a trembling voice: "You, you killed him?!"

At this moment, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves on the long street downstairs, and then there was a commotion. The two of them looked down the street, and saw forty or fifty riders rushing from both ends of the long street, and they happened to gather in one place in front of the restaurant. A big man in Tsing Yi shouted: "Their horses are tied here, and the people must be in the restaurant! Everyone surrounds this restaurant, even a mouse should not let it escape!"
