Chapter 221: Aftermath
Tang brick plane, Guangzhou wharf. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the first battle of the South China Sea, the Datang United Naval Division returned victorious. Feng An, the Duke of Yue, went to the dock in person and sent countless chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, more than 10,000 gold coins, and countless silver coins to reward the three armies.
The Tang people of the entire city of Guangzhou gathered on the dock, and the cheers continued for several hours.
On the street outside the wharf, in an inconspicuous teahouse, a smiling merchant came in.
The teahouse is not big, there are only four tables, the boss is busy adding water to a group of idlers, turning his head to see the merchant, his face suddenly turned cold, and shouted: "Where have you gone? Tell you to go two streets away to deliver goods, you can send it back in two days, if I ask you to go out of the city to deliver, will you have to come back in a year?"
The merchant took off his hat with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm hungry, where is my sister?"
"Fuck off! Your sister and I are divorced, there is no food for you!"
The merchant nodded and said, "Oh, it's in the back room, then I'll go in by myself!"
The boss threw the rag angrily and shouted, "I'll let you go!"
The merchant smiled with a smile on his face, waved his hand as he walked inside, and said, "Brother-in-law, they are all members of their own family, why are you so polite, what? There are still drinks and food in the kitchen? Then I am so embarrassed." Just this once, just this once, not next time!"
After speaking, the merchant lifted the curtain and entered the back room, and the boss was so angry that he wanted to see the copper kettle thrown over, but he was reluctant.
A couple of silver coins.
A tea drinker next to him looked funny, and said loudly: "Boss, is this your brother-in-law?"
The boss sighed and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it my bastard brother-in-law, who has a smart head, but he doesn't have to be on the right path, and he is a tea seller all day long, if it weren't for his sister, I would have kicked him to death!"
The tea drinker laughed and said: "With such a brother-in-law, I see that you will have fun for the rest of your life, come, bring me another cup of tea!"
The boss shook his head and went to get tea for the guests.
The merchant lifted the curtain and entered the back room, and the smile on his face disappeared. Glancing cautiously around, he tapped lightly on the water tank at the kitchen door.
A head suddenly came out of the roof, glanced at him, and opened a hole under the kitchen window.
As soon as the merchant stooped in, the masonry rose and closed tightly.
The entrance is small, but the inside is spacious.
I went down the stairs thirty or fifty steps, and when I turned the corner, my eyes suddenly opened up.
With a high ceiling, hazy red and green lights, a delicate elegant garden, and a small bridge and flowing water, it is a gorgeous underground palace.
After the black-clothed men guarding the door saluted respectfully, a beautiful woman in palace clothes immediately led the merchant to a spacious conference room.
"Why can't you use the Eagle Secret Message, and you have to come here in person?"
The meeting room is clean and simple, with a long table and a large sofa. But only one lamp was lit, and the merchant vaguely saw a few figures opposite, and he didn't care, and immediately complained as soon as he came in.
"Master Chai. There's one thing I'd like to ask you to figure out first. A feminine voice came from the corner, and the old eunuch Ji Fu walked over slowly, staring at him with sharp eyes: "You, not our leader. It's just a partner before the sect leader ascends to immortality. Since you choose to join us, you must abide by our rules, otherwise, you will go back wherever you come from!"
The merchant snorted and didn't speak, found a chair and sat down, removed the bits and pieces of decoration from his head, and restored Chai Lingwu's original face.
Ji Fu smiled with satisfaction and said, "I invite you here this time, mainly to introduce you to the other members." The sect leader had given an order before ascending to the Immortal, and after he left, the Tai Chi Sect would be controlled by the council. The branch is self-managed, and it needs to vote in case of major events. Since you have chosen to join us, you will have a place in the Council by order of the Master. ”
Chai Lingwu rubbed his face vigorously, raised his head and said, "Bing Sanzhang's arrangement, what am I in charge of?"
Ji Fu smiled and waved his hand, and immediately two men in black handed over a large stack of documents.
"In addition to your Chai family's property, the eight million Tang Sect members under my Taiji Sect are also under your control, and in addition, the twenty-three thousand restaurants, teahouses, and opera gardens that were fissioned from the hostess of the harvest are also your territory. Your main task is to cooperate with the grand strategy of the council, make the voice of our Tai Chi sect, and guide the people in the direction of progress. ”
Chai Lingwu's heart was pounding, but he was also vigilant, and said, "If you hand over such a large property to me, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?"
A hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of Ji Fu's mouth, "You can try!"
Chai Lingwu's hairs stood up all over his body, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he quickly dispelled the years that he shouldn't have.
Ji Fu looked at him for a while before he smiled again and said, "It's a pity, I still want to see the impulse of Master Chai, it's just that." Introduce you directly to other members. First place, Koryo Ji!"
A lamp lit up and illuminated a woman in a white robe.
The woman's face was expressionless, her eyes were cold, and she looked at Chai Lingwu motionless, like a stone man.
"With your status, the Masked Man of Gorion's City two years ago should know about it, right? ”
Chai Lingwu was furious by the woman's heart, and he turned his eyes away.
Ji Fu continued: "Now control all of our combat power in the South China Sea. ”
"Wait, weren't the pirates of the South China Sea completely wiped out by the Tang Dynasty Sailors?" Chai Lingwu couldn't help but ask.
"That's right!" Ji Fu nodded and said: "There are many pirates among the pirates, and there are many scum and few elites, and using the Tang Dynasty Sailors to screen us is also the main purpose of this naval battle in the South China Sea." Now that our Tai Chi Sect's big ship regiment is mainly active in the Red Sea region, 20,000 elites have occupied more than 1,000 islands, and we will build 20,000 warships in three years to prepare for the mission to the West!"
Chai Lingwu gasped: "Do you know what you're talking about? 20,000 ships, how much wood does it cost and how many craftsmen do you use?"
Ji Fa shook his head and said, "I don't know, so he is responsible for this matter!"
Another light turned on, and the smiling face of the monkey appeared, only to see him arch his hand and say: "At this point, Don't worry about it, Dagongzi Chai has already caught the last dozen or so disciples of Tian Zhuzi in the imperial city, and mastered the exact location of another continent." Three thousand giant sharks are ready to go. ”
Speaking of this, he chuckled lightly and said, "Master Chai may not know very well, our Taiji Sect actually doesn't have much power on the sea, because the entire sea is our power. As long as you are a believer who has been blessed by the Sect Master, you can make some contact with the monsters in the sea. Controlling the shark is our specialty!"
Chai Lingwu was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
If that's the case, those pirates in the South China Sea may really be outcasts.
Another lamp was lit, and Ji Fa smiled and pointed to the scholar who appeared: "Xiao Zhang Liang." ”
"Sir, don't call it by that name. Just call me Zhang Taizhong!" Xiao Zhang Liang smiled and arched his hand and said: "The younger brother is studying in Yushan Academy, and while spreading the teachings to his classmates, he also does what he can. ”
Chai Lingwu looked at Ji Fu inexplicably.
Ji Fu smiled and said: "Xiao Zhang Gong is too modest, he should only say that he is the initiator who advocates overthrowing the old-school officials and teaching the world to the Yushan Academy faction." ”
Chai Lingwu was dumbfounded.
Xiao Zhang Liang said modestly: "It's just a cultural revolution, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"
Ji Fu shook his head: "Don't you dare to say that, didn't the prince and the prince plant it in your hands last time, I heard that now the students who read the Four Books and the Five Classics all day long regard you as a demon!"
Chai Lingwu was shocked: "That person is you!? Last time I happened to meet Your Majesty in the Ten Thousand Palace, he lost his temper, saying that the old faction of Wenchen was useless, and the students of the new faction were too sharp, and they were like wolf cubs one by one." Now there's finally a wolf who wants to be a wolf!
Xiao Zhang Liang smiled shyly and did not speak.
"It's me again!" Ji Fu sat down and said, "I was a hundred knights before, you should know." Two years ago, I found that His Majesty was showing signs of abandoning the Hundred Horsemen, so I decisively joined the Tai Chi sect. After two years of development, the current Baiqi Division has been hollowed out by me. ”
Looking at Chai Lingwu's expression, Ji Fu squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think that the Hundred Cavalry Division, which I took ten years to build, will be casually destroyed by a few civil officials?"
Chai Lingwu laughed twice, he really didn't know what to say.
"But it doesn't matter, just let you know, if the intelligence is in my hands today, if you need help in your business, just write to me!"
Chai Lingwu nodded and looked at the person in front of him from left to right.
Gao Liji, who controls the power of the sea, the monkey who went on an expedition to Xinfa Road and supervised the construction of 20,000 warships, and Xiao Zhang Liang, who set off a cultural revolution within the Tang Dynasty, is an old immortal who controls the hundred cavalry divisions. If you add to this the 8 million believers and 23,000 businesses in your own hands. This force just wants to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is enough.
Thinking of Bing Sanzhang's unremarkable face, Chai Lingwu trembled deeply.
Is this a man of God? Sure enough, it has incredible power.
Ji Fa let Chai Lingwu digest it for a while, and then said: "Actually, we still have two supernumerary forces, but they are generally not used." The Master's two pets had fallen into a deep slumber and had no way of predicting when they would wake up.
However, we believe that when the pet is awake, it will be the day when the Master will come again, and at that time, he will lead us to make a difference in the world again. Whether it is hate or love, Tai Chi is with us!"
The others whispered at the same time: "Whether it is hate or love, Tai Chi is with us!"
Chai Lingwu's heart trembled, the Chai family was about to develop!

"Smack!"
A Tuanlong teacup smashed to the ground and shattered, and Li Er's roar resounded through the hall.
"Didn't find anything? I gave you unlimited power, a large number of manpower, and after more than three months, you will give me such an answer?" Li Er was so angry that he turned in circles, and Li Dayin slammed his head on the ground, not daring to say a word.
"That's right, the last time I asked you to go to Chayun Ye, you seemed to say the same thing. It took ten years in the Longyou Valley, how many people were buried in the poor mountains and bad waters, and you threw me back and didn't find anything. Yun Ye has the merit of offering potatoes and corn, I am the emperor, I should not have checked the courtiers in private, you said that you didn't find anything, and I can't say anything. But this time, this time it's different! That bullshit god Bing Sanzhang soared and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I have given you all the locations, I have tortured all the eight hundred black-clothed people who have left you behind, I have sent all the masters of Dali Temple to assist you, and I have even given you the power to mobilize Zuo Wuwei despite the opposition of the courtiers, why do you dare to give me a sentence that I don't know anything?! Li Dayin, are you playing me like a fool?"
Li Er was so angry that he smashed the table and swept the folds on the dragon book case directly to the ground.
The sandalwood burner smashed in front of Li Dayin, and the incense ash pounced on his face, and he didn't dare to move.
At this moment, Broken Hong walked in, glanced at the messy scene, and complained bitterly.
Cautiously walked to Li Er's side and said softly, "Your Majesty... ”
"What's the matter?" Li Er shouted with glaring eyes.
Duan Hong lowered his head and whispered: "The eight hundred black-clothed people on death row in the capital water prison in the palace have escaped from prison, and the inner guards have desperately blocked and only left more than five hundred corpses, leaving more than two hundred people, including the first evil of the Yuezhou waterway of the bandit, who escaped from the imperial city and don't know where to go!"
Li Er's body froze violently, and the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling to the ground.
"Hahaha!ha! I can see it, Li Dayin, you are here to watch my jokes, the prisoners on death row are all imprisoned, and they have escaped from the imperial city, hahaha, I have become a joke in the world!" Li Er laughed wildly, hoarse.
Li Dayin kowtowed wildly and shouted: "No, Your Majesty, yesterday Yunhou sent a message saying that he wanted to see these people today, so Wei Chen brought them out from one prison to another, gathered them in the imperial city, and specially sent two thousand thousand oxen guards to guard them, it should be foolproof, how could it be?"
"Yun Ye!!"
Li Er glared and shouted, "This bastard, it's him again! It's all his ass that can't be wiped clean, what's the name of the bandit?"
"The first evil. Broken Hong whispered.
"Yes, the first evil, such a disgusting name, why don't you cut off your head at the first time, if you had killed him a few years ago, there wouldn't have been so many things later! And that Bing Sanzhang, why did he disguise himself as a pirate to rob him, why is it just Yun Ye, is it because he was born in Bai Yujing and is a child of immortals? I just can't swallow this breath!"
Li Er waved his hand and shouted: "You go to the Yun family Zhuangzi and drag Yun Ye over to me, if I don't kick his ass this time, it will be difficult to eliminate the fire in Lao Tzu's heart!"
As soon as Duan Hong shrank his neck, the emperor burst into foul language, and quickly slipped away.
glanced at Li Dayin sympathetically, knowing that he also belonged to the group of unlucky people who were angered, but I can't save you, you can ask for more blessings!
Hearing the sound of broken Hong's footsteps walking away, Li Dayin's already smashed face showed a cruel smile.
Yun Ye, I'll see how you get out this time. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty does not need to be guided by aliens, what immortal children, you are still dead!(To be continued.) )
