After listening to Li Xiumei's story about the rebel army's advance move, Xiang Yong also felt a little emotional.

People are not as good as heaven, that's what I'm talking about.

A series of coincidences have led things into an uncontrollable abyss.

"Then have you ever inquired why the rebel army is scheduled to raise an event in half a year?"

Li Xiumei's eyes showed a blank look: "I don't know about this." ”

"Do you have the impression that something big will happen in the empire in half a year?"

Li Xiumei thought for a long time, then shook her head hesitantly: "I don't have the impression that there should be." ”

Xiang Yong bowed his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Then tell me what new information you have received." ”

Li Xiumei said in an orderly manner.

Of course, whether she really shared all the information with herself, Xiang Yong is also skeptical.

After the exchange, Xiang Yong returned to his room and paced back and forth.

He had already sketched out the general context of the event in his mind.

Sheng Du wanted to support the third prince to ascend to the throne, so he came up with a bold plan.

Acutely aware of the growing discontent of the populace with the Empire, he secretly contacted a number of charlatans and workers' leaders to launch an uprising at the throat of the imperial capital.

Originally, he planned that the uprising would be half a year later, but due to some unfortunate reasons, the uprising was advanced, and his follow-up was not used.

According to the agreement, the rebel army will attack the imperial capital. Although they were destined to sink under the walls of the imperial capital.

And the closest army to the rebel army was the elite Imperial 19th Army.

The commander of the 19th Army, Khotan, was the man of the Three Princes.

When the rebel army and the Janissaries of the imperial capital are fighting, the 19th Army will fight from the rear, capture the imperial capital, overthrow the current emperor in the name of the Qing monarch, and let the three princes inherit the unification.

What an enticing plan.

The question is, will Sheng Du's plan really be as he suspected?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yong rushed out of his house.

If you don't know, ask someone who knows.

As Wan Daozhong's personal guard, he knew where Wan Daozhong would rest tonight.

In the night, Xiang Yong hurried.

encountered several groups of patrols along the way, and Xiang Yong passed smoothly after revealing his identity.

Soon it was time to arrive at the resting place of the Ten Thousand Dao Middle School tonight.

It was a small two-story building facing the street, and it looked unremarkable, and no one could have guessed that the first person in Ibaraki would be sleeping here.

The small house that looks like it is unfortified, but in fact it is full of open posts and secret sentry inside and outside. Xiang Yong was stopped as soon as he approached.

"I am Xiao Chengsheng, the personal guard of Leader Wan, and I have urgent matters to find Leader Wan. Xiang Yong identified himself and said what he meant.

Qu Da walked out of the shadows, staring at Xiang Yong with eagle-like eyes: "What's the matter with you?"

Xiang Yong looked back without flinching: "I can only say to the leader." ”

Qu Da stared at Xiang Yong for a long time and nodded: "Don't let me find out that you are disturbing Brother Wan's rest with trivial things." Follow me. ”

Xiang Yong followed behind Qu Da, who took out the key to open the door, walked through the living room, came to the revolving escalator, and climbed the stairs.

Outside a bedroom on the second floor, Qu Da knocked on the door: "Big brother, big brother?"

Wan Daozhong's voice sounded: "I haven't slept yet." Let him in. ”

"Yes. ”

Qu Da turned to look at Xiang Yong: "Long story short, don't delay the rest of the eldest brother." ”

"Good. ”

Xiang Yong pushed the door and walked in.

Listening to the footsteps outside the door, Qu Da had already walked away.

There was no light in the room, and Wan Daozhong sat in the dark, wearing a nightgown and holding a glass of wine. On the table was a half-empty wine bottle.

His eyes were a little tired, not as always confident and high-spirited as he was during the day.

"Sit. He said simply.

Xiang Yong glanced at it, and there were no other chairs in the bedroom.

"It's okay to sit on the bed, there are no bare-ass pussies on the bed. ”

"Would you like to have a little top-notch Southwest raspberry wine, a few hundred silver dollars a bottle. ”

Xiang Yong shook his head: "No need." ”

Wan Daozhong put down his wine glass: "What are you looking for me?"

Xiang Yong sat down sideways at the end of the bed, and asked straight to the point: "Does Sheng Du guarantee that when we attack the imperial capital, the 19th Army will not attack us, but will cooperate with us to attack the imperial capital." ”

Wan Daozhong raised his eyebrows: "You are very smart, you used to be clumsy, right? With such knowledge, you are by no means an ordinary martial artist." ”

Although he did not express his position directly, his meaning was already clear. Xiang Yong chuckled: "Brother Wan, do you think my master, 'Beihe Venerable' is an ordinary martial artist." ”

Wan Daozhong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Every Grandmaster has both qualifications, talent, perseverance, wisdom, and luck. He can become a grandmaster, of course, he will not be an ordinary martial artist. Just like Sheng Du, his planning makes me ashamed. ”

"Brother Wan, what did Sheng Du originally plan to do in half a year to cooperate with the uprising?"

He didn't say anything, only that he would keep the Empire's eyes on the north when the time came. But," Wan Daozhong took a sip of stuffy wine, I don't know if the wine was too strong, or the mood was too bad, he frowned, and then smiled, "People are not as good as heaven." ”

North, what's in the north? Xiang Yong's brain was racing.

It's a pity that he knows too little about the world.

By the way, the main location of the Hyakki Night Gate seems to be in the north?

"You came to me just to find out these questions?"

"Brother Wan is not worried about seeking skin with the tiger?" Xiang Yong said in a deep voice, "Sheng Du is a very ambitious person. In his bones, he is no longer a Jianghu person. ”

"Then what can we do?" Wan Daozhong looked a little depressed, "The empire has a vast territory, with a population of 10,000,000 and thousands of counties and cities. I don't see any opportunities other than working with him. ”

"But Sheng Du's plan is to support the three princes to come to power. Brother Wan, ask yourself, what do you think the three princes can do to the empire when they come to power? It's just a change of person as emperor. The officials are still those officials, the nobles are still those nobles, and the families are still those families. Game of Thrones is still the game for those people. And the rebels are just tools that they throw away when they run out. At most, they were recruited, and some of the rebels were transformed into new nobles and new officials. And those who suffer are still suffering, and those who have been insulted and damaged are still being insulted and damaged. ”

Wan Daozhong was not surprised at all to say "Three Princes" to Yong, in the dark, his expression was a little bitter, and he raised his wine glass and took a sip, "This is already the best ending for us." ”

The voice of the main god sounded in his head after a long absence: "The fourth stage of side quest one - go deep into the enemy camp to complete. 100 points are awarded each. The fifth phase of side quest 1 begins: Changing your life against the sky. Turn the tide of the rebels and defeat the Imperial 19th Army. Each person who completes the task will be rewarded with 350 points, and there is no penalty for failing the task. Side quest 2 opens: Fight to kill the enemy. 0.5 points for every 19th Army soldier killed, 1 point for every elite soldier of the 19th Army killed, 3 points for a lieutenant, 10 points for a colonel, 35 points for a general, and 100 points for the 19th Army commander Khotan. ”

Xiang Yong smiled slightly: "Sheng Du can have his plan, and we can also have our plan." The so-called 'power comes out of the barrel of a gun', now that we have some guns, why don't we fight to the death and teach the sun and the moon to change the sky? Sheng Du wants us to go to the imperial capital. But why can't we turn around and eat the 19th Army?"

Wan Daozhong frowned: "What is 'Moon'?"
