Chief Helmsman Yuan thought for a long time, weighed it several times, and finally decided to listen to Zhao Yu's opinion. Yangzhou's trip can be said to have destroyed all his life beliefs in the past few decades. Being deceived by Zhao Yu is still secondary, and the most important thing is that Zhang Shicheng's eyeliner planted beside him was accidentally exposed, which surprised the helmsman of Deyuan to find that he was ignorant and ignorant in the past, but he walked all the way on the edge of life and death! For Zhang Shicheng, his identity does not necessarily mean to do bad things, and his existence itself is a hidden danger......

With such an understanding, the Yuan chief helmsman underwent a reborn change from the inside to the outside. In many cases, how far a person can grow is not determined by his own material endowment, but by what he has experienced.

Once he decided to listen to Zhao Yu's opinion, the chief helmsman of Yuan immediately ordered people to send invitations to those leaders who were now gathering in Yangzhou City, and ordered people to immediately clean up the Four Seas Inn and prepare for the banquet for those people later.

At present, the leaders of several forces that are still active in Yangzhou City, it can be said that no one is a good person. A truly good person, after the first night of turmoil**, either finds a secluded place to hide in fear, or has no choice but to be held hostage and have no home to return to. Most of these people who took advantage of the chaos to gather a crowd were usually restless, and as soon as they got the opportunity, they took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the fire to rob. Such people are the main driving force behind the current appearance of Yangzhou City.

The move of the chief helmsman of Yuan to send out invitations soon set off a wave in the undercurrent of Yangzhou City. His own name is not enough to attract people's attention, but the identity of the helmsman of the Haisha Gang and the Zhang Shicheng behind it are enough to make people face it. Moreover, there are some palpitating rumors circulating in Yangzhou City at present, which are about Zhang Shicheng having sent a million troops to Yangzhou, and the city is bound to win. Under such a special situation, in the face of the invitation of the chief helmsman of Yuan, it is inevitable that everyone will not have waves in their hearts.

At present, these leaders in Yangzhou City are really very conflicted in their hearts, and they themselves understand that they can call the wind and rain in the city for a while, mostly relying on the current special situation. When the situation changes, their situation changes dramatically. The army entering the city is unstoppable, and no matter which side takes this Yangzhou City, it will be a catastrophe for them. If you want to avoid calamity, you must plan ahead.

However, in the past, they had nothing in their hands, and they could deal with any variables calmly. But now they are different from the past, they have goods in their hands, especially after experiencing the ** experience of scolding Fang Xuan above 10,000 people, they are no longer willing to go to the past life of a small people who are obedient and resigned to fate.

With this trade-off, they began to calculate which side would take Yangzhou City, and which side would they throw themselves to to get the greatest benefits?

With the vision of these people in the past, it is really difficult for them to think about and weigh the general trend of the world like looking at palm prints. However, the small people have their own survival wisdom and cunning, and once they exert their ability to calculate, they can also come up with a general proposition. Although Yang Wanzhi's army was just outside the city, the Miao army's reputation had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and these leaders did not believe that they could bargain for benefits in the hands of Yang Wanzhi, or make a peaceful deal with Miao Jun.

In this way, Zhang Shicheng is a good choice. Although this person is all the way against the king, his reputation is much better than that of Yang Wanzhi's official army. At worst, it should not be done to burn, kill, loot, and poison the whole city.

With such a trade-off, most people already have plans to surrender to Zhang Shicheng in their hearts. However, as a result, they felt that they had not yet taken enough weight to allow Zhang Shicheng to pay enough attention to the anti-Wang Tou who had been separating Jiangnan for several years. Second, the reserve of the small people, combined with the power in their hands, makes them need to be treated commensurately. Of course, the main thing is that they simply don't have the way to catch this line.

Now, the invitation of the chief helmsman of Yuan has given them a step and hope. So, most people have already decided to go to the banquet after receiving the invitation. Although it may not be necessary to make a decision to go directly to the past, it is also good to probe the wind first. And a small number of people, either with other arms, or doubting the intentions of the chief helmsman of Yuan, could not make a decision for a while.

Not to mention the unpredictable hearts in the city, it was almost evening, and people were already coming with invitations.

The entire street of the Four Seas Inn has been completely cleared, and it can be regarded as one of the few spotless and tidy streets in the city. On both sides of the street, the chief helmsman of Yuan specially arranged for a group of people from the Haisha Gang to line up in two teams, all the way to the intersection, if it were not for the fact that the cloth and other things had already been thrown out of the city to set fire, he even wanted to pave the streets with silk to show his attention to the upcoming banquet.

The leaders of the various people who came here first were considered the second-rate forces in the city, but they were also very dazzling. Not to mention the luxurious carriage dragged by a few horses, the clothes of the entourage on both sides of the carriage alone, silk and satin, dazzling. It's just that in comparison, these people's spirits are a little sluggish, and they are dressed in all kinds of clothes, which is far less deterrent than the unified dark color power shirt of the Haisha Gang, and their momentum is weakened first.

The people who came first were welcomed into the Four Seas Inn, but the entourage was arranged to the side, and walked into the hall alone, and the mood was inevitably melancholy, but the attitude of the people of the Haisha Gang was still kind, so that they would not be frightened.

This hall is extremely vast, almost opening up the entire front building of the Four Seas Inn, leaving only a few load-bearing beams. Rows of lanterns hung from the hall, illuminating the hall as if it were day, without the slightest shade. At the top, there is a large chair covered in tiger skin, and below are two long rows of seats, all of which are empty at the moment. In the vast open space between the seats, I don't know what was piled up, obscured by a circle of cyan drape.

Those men thanked the Haisha gang who led the way, and they wanted to find a seat at the bottom. And the gang members in charge of the Haisha Gang hurriedly said: "Today, the chief helmsman is the main banquet, and the rule is that the first person to come first will be the first, and there is no other consideration. ”

When they heard this, their hearts were filled with joy and sorrow, but they all obediently sat down on the seat closest to the tiger-skin chair, and some of them offered fragrant tea and refreshments.

As the sun began to set, the number of people who came to the feast grew. Although the street outside the Four Seas Inn is wide, it is also crowded with people for a while, and the voices are boiling. However, the Haisha Gang has seen the world and arranged everything in an orderly manner. It's also in order.

At the time of the lantern, the helmsman of Yuan appeared at the door of the inn and began to greet the guests in person. Behind him, there were more than a dozen carefully selected burly men, standing in front of the door in a row, full of intimidation. As for Zhao Yu, he stood in the corner not far away. He originally planned to watch the movements of the Miao army on the city wall, but the helmsman of Yuan was afraid that he would do something behind his back, so he insisted that Zhao Yu must be present. There are Wei Yixiao and Li Chengru in the city, but Zhao Yu does not need to be present in person. And he is also worried that Yang Wanzhi will jump over the wall in a hurry to the dog, or he will come up with some side means.

Next to arrive was a mob leader who thought he was superior to others. They held their own identities, deliberately manipulated them, and rushed to the beginning of the banquet, hugging each other in front and back, and becoming more and more full of style. When these people arrived, there were many more problems, either disputes over where the carriage was parked, or they did not want to let the entourage leave them, and the problems and disputes arose, and so on.

However, the chief helmsman of Yuan led a group of burly men to come up at the right time, and after these people learned the identity of the chief helmsman of Yuan, they finally restrained a little, no longer cared about the details, and reluctantly entered the hall. However, as soon as they entered the hall and saw the order of seats, these people were angry again, and they refused to sit down noisily.

Chief Helmsman Yuan sat at the top, and after seeing this situation, he snorted coldly: "I am inviting you to a banquet today, and I have a good heart. The arrangement of this seat is still a small section, and the convenience of others is the convenience of oneself. If any of them don't make me happy here, I naturally have no reason to make him comfortable!"

When everyone heard the words of the chief helmsman of Yuan, their expressions changed, but they didn't dare to make any more noise and quarrel, and the latecomers sat down reluctantly. They really didn't have the courage to turn down an opportunity that they had been waiting for so hard.

After everyone was seated, a member of the Haisha Gang stepped forward and said, "Chief helmsman, it's time for a feast." ”

Chief Helmsman Yuan looked at everyone present, waved his hand and said, "Then close the door and start the banquet!"

At this time, someone next reminded him: "However, there are still some guests on the way, and they are about to arrive." ”

Chief Helmsman Yuan raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Isn't the time for the banquet clearly written on my invitation?

Hearing this, everyone was silent and didn't dare to speak casually.

The door of the inn slowly closed, and a few people were walking slowly, and when they saw this, they hurriedly quickened their pace, and shouted at the same time: "Wait a while before closing!"

However, the Haisha Gang turned a blind eye to them and closed the gates.

The latecomers are all very important people in the city, how can they stand being rejected so unceremoniously, and they immediately ordered people to start smashing the door. In this way, the helmsman of Yuan was a little difficult, and his tough posture was all from Zhao Yu's guidance. Now when he encounters something difficult to decide, he can't help but look at Zhao Yu in the corner.

Zhao Yu nodded at him, and then his figure flashed, and he landed outside the inn door.

Outside the inn were the leaders of the three mobs, but behind them were nearly a hundred followers. The three leaders shouted at everyone to smash the door, and shouted with arrogance: "How can there be a reason to turn people away when they invite guests! Could it be that we can't do tricks? And if we smash the door, we must ask for an explanation!"

Caught off guard, someone suddenly fell from the sky, these people were shocked, and they retreated a little bit, looking at Zhao Yu with a surprised face.

Zhao Yu held his hands and said coldly: "The hospitality time has passed, you are late, and you can't enter again!"

One of these leaders was the leader of the largest mob that occupied the mansion, and when he heard Zhao Yu's words, he immediately sneered: "You are the subordinate of the chief helmsman of Yuan? Boy, you're doing a good job, but don't be too ostentatious. I have thousands of men and horses, if I really deal with you, I can kill you in a breath......"

Before his words fell, his eyes were full of flowers, but his throat suddenly tightened, and it turned out that he was deceived by Zhao Yu and choked his throat.

Zhao Yu vomited vigorously in the palm of his hand, and there were a few crisp clicks in the man's neck, and then his head was crooked, and he was already angry. Then, before everyone could react, he slashed two more palms, and the other two leaders were also killed. These people hold on to the last grain in the city, and they think that they are holding the lives of the people in the city, and the sins they have committed in Yangzhou City in the last few days can be regarded as too many to mention. But mortals always have a plausible purpose for doing good or evil, but they do these evil things only to establish authority. Feng Shui takes turns, and now his own surname has become a tool for others to establish authority, but there is no need to complain.

Zhao Yu shot to kill people, and the Haisha gang waiting outside the door looked at it in their eyes, and felt furious in their hearts. They already knew Zhao Yu's true identity, and now that they have seen his thunderbolt methods, they know the horror of the Demon Lord.

"Unload their weapons and take them aside. ”

Zhao Yu pointed to the stunned entourage and ordered the Haisha Gang.

These Haisha gangs did not dare to disobey their orders and hurriedly stepped forward. When those entourages saw that their leader was killed, how could they still have the courage to resist, and they didn't need to be done by others, they had already dropped their blades and were taken aside. As for the bodies of the leaders, they were left in their place.

After solving the matter, Zhao Yu quietly returned to the corner of the hall again and made a gesture to the helmsman of Yuan.

Everyone in the hall heard the commotion outside the door for only a moment, and then it was silent, and there was a lot of curiosity in their hearts, but they didn't have the courage to ask at the moment.

After everyone sat down, Chief Helmsman Yuan raised his glass and said with a smile: "I have some rules, or they are out of place, but they will not change from person to person." Since the time for the banquet has been agreed, this is the time, not a moment late!"

"However, when you enter the hall, we are friends, and we all drink to our heart's content, and drink this cup to the full!"

After all, he himself had already drunk it all. When everyone in the audience saw this, they squeezed out a stiff smile on their faces, and they all raised their wine glasses.

After the helmsman of Yuan put down the wine glass, he waved his hand again, and said to his opponent: "Remove the curtain!"

After hearing the order, several members of the Haisha gang hurriedly stepped forward and removed the curtain in the hall.

Everyone is also very curious about the things behind the curtain, and after seeing this, they all poked their heads out to watch, and when the curtain fell, their eyes flickered, and their eyes suddenly widened, and they couldn't move away!

As the curtain landed, the light in the entire hall suddenly brightened, and the mountains of jewels were exposed, and under the illumination of the lights, there was an incomparable brilliance. For a moment, the entire hall was filled with heavy gasps, and everyone's eyes showed undisguised greed.

Looking at the change in the atmosphere in the hall, Zhao Yu smiled. To be honest, he couldn't help but praise the Yuan Helmsman for such a big deal, at first he just suggested that when the Yuan Helmsman persuaded these people, it was as reasonable as luring them, but he didn't expect the Yuan Helmsman to be able to do this, and it was indeed a beautiful move.

It should be said that the chief helmsman of Yuan is very suitable for mixing in the rivers and lakes. Although this person's surname is ignorant, he is straightforward and heroic, and even the spleen surname of a person in the rivers and lakes.

Since Zhao Yu's debut, there have been many people in the rivers and lakes who have dealt with him, such as Mingjiao Yang Xiao, who is generally lonely and eccentric, Wudang Song Yuanqiao who is polite, and Shaolin monks who are humble on the outside and arrogant on the inside, but when it comes to being a person from all over the world, the three religions and nine streams can make a friend, and no one can compare with the helmsman of Yuan.

The helmsman of Yuan looked at everyone with such a shocked look, and he was also very satisfied in his heart. He used these gold and silver, which can be said to have looted all the goods and goods set up by Zhang Shicheng in several strongholds in Yangzhou, and took advantage of all the property looted in Yangzhou. For the helmsman of Yuan, the gold, silver, finance and goods committee really does not pay attention to it, although the Haisha Gang is not rich in the world, but it is also extremely rich. No matter how wary Zhang Shicheng is of him, he will not be embarrassed for him in this kind of thing.

He knocked on the table to draw everyone's attention, but many others still looked at the pile of belongings. Although they also gained a lot of money by taking advantage of this **, how could they have so much money in front of them! And the people under them also had to be wet with rain and dew, and even fewer fell into their own hands, and everyone had never seen so much gold and silver property piled up together in their lives!

When everyone finally reluctantly concentrated, Chief Yuan said with a smile: "Today, I am inviting you friends to a banquet, and naturally there are important matters to discuss. You are all beautiful people in Yangzhou City now, and I don't need to say more about many things, so I naturally know it in my heart. I will no longer beat around the bush, your current scenery is a mirror and a moon, but it is short-lived, and it is really difficult to go on for a long time. ”

When everyone heard this, they were much more conscious for a while, and the bleakness of the future made the pile of gold and silver in front of them much less attractive. After regaining their senses, they were not completely unruly, and someone immediately said: "The words of the chief helmsman are not bad, but we are natives of Yangzhou after all, and our brothers also grew up in Si." No matter who enters the city, if they can't be resettled, it will be very difficult to stabilize the situation in the city. ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone echoed it. They also know in their hearts that no matter which side they throw to, only the more hole cards they have, the more they will be valued. To be an echo worm with no claims at all will only be looked down upon.

Chief Helmsman Yuan had already received Zhao Yu's guidance, and he just smiled faintly at everyone's bluff, and said loudly: "I am willing to meet with you, and I have the intention to talk openly and honestly, if you are still wary in your hearts, to be honest, although Yang Wanzhi's army is besieging the city, if I want to leave, he may not be able to stop it." If you give Miao Jun a chance to enter the city, you might as well imagine that they will give you a chance to sit down and talk carefully?"

When they heard this, their faces tightened, and they all kept silent. The words of the chief helmsman of Yuan can be regarded as hitting their vital point.

After the words pinched everyone, the helmsman of Yuan smiled and said: "What everyone is worried about, I naturally know in my heart." I can tell you clearly that King Cheng is bound to win Yangzhou City, and a million troops will be able to reach Yangzhou City without saying anything! The grasshoppers after the autumn of the Miao army have not been happy for a few days. You may wish to take a long-term view. King Cheng is benevolent, and I myself am very happy to be a good friend with you who share good and bad times. The gold and silver in front of me are just meeting to ask for some money. You come to help me, give King Cheng a stable Yangzhou city, and then there will be a reward, then it will be no problem! ”

After that, Chief Helmsman Yuan waved his hand and said, "Open the door, let everyone here go and stay, and never be embarrassed!"

Seeing that the chief helmsman of Yuan was so tough, everyone directly forced them into a corner, but it was far from their previous imagination of negotiating back and forth. There were already a few people who were not very determined, but the door was open, and the three corpses at the door made them jaw-dropping!

Those three people are the most beautiful in Yangzhou City, and these people here have more or less suffered from them, but they were killed quietly, such a thunderbolt method, it is extremely shocking!

With mountains of gold and silver on one side and corpses on the other, how do you choose?

After a moment of silence, the few people closest to the seat of the chief helmsman of Yuan had already turned over and knelt on the ground, shouting: "I am willing to serve the chief helmsman and King Cheng for the work of dogs and horses!"

With the person who took the lead, the rest did not hesitate for a few minutes, and they all bowed their heads.

The helmsman of Yuan enjoyed the worship of everyone, and he was extremely happy, but he also understood the deep meaning of Zhao Yu's proposal to arrange the seats like this, and for a while he admired Zhao Yu's resourcefulness. He looked up at the corner again, but there was no trace of Zhao Yu. However, thanks to Zhao Yu's strength, he was able to recover these manpower in front of him, and the resentment of the Lord Yuan against the Demon Lord was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

The night was cool, and Zhao Yu was like light smoke, walking through the city. And not far in front of him, there was a figure running for his life, but he couldn't get rid of Zhao Yu behind him. After escaping for more than half a moment, the figure stopped, and turned his head, it was the Blue Sect Master who was wearing a black night robe. She gasped for most of the moment before she called out to Zhao Yujiao: "Demon Lord, we should talk about ......"

"Is this necessary?"

Zhao Yu sneered, and the strength had already gathered in the palm of his hand, approaching the past step by step. Now that he is alone, he has no scruples, so he naturally can't allow this girl with a strange identity to escape. (To be continued.) )
