Feeling that the twin Gu worms on his fingers gradually subsided, Zhao Yu also felt an eye-opening feeling in his heart.

The world is full of wonders, and everything has its use. No matter whether it is prosperous Middle-earth or barbaric people, no matter which nation wants to survive and reproduce, the most fundamental thing is to make the best use of it. All things are born to support people, whether they are poor or rich, if they can dig out the essence of this thing to the fullest, they can also turn stones into gold.

Moral articles teach people to get along, but learning from things teaches people to survive. Erudite and respectable Confucianism is admittedly valuable, and nine-rate and hundreds of craftsmen are equally valuable. The evolution of the world and the rise and fall of national fortunes are not things that can be fully explained by civil and military affairs.

After a little thought, at this time, the twin Gu worms on the tail finger had completely settled down, Zhao Yu no longer stayed, and after a pause, he rushed back to the Four Seas Inn.

At this time, the banquet in the inn hall was in full swing, and the leaders of Yangzhou City, since they had decided to take refuge in the helmsman of Yuan and Zhang Shicheng, the hostility and vigilance in their hearts had all faded, and they relieved the hidden worries about the bleak future in their chests.

Chief Yuan sat on the head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his fingers rubbing the celadon cup, but the bottom of his eyes was shining. Yangzhou City Trip, which has twists and turns, is dizzying, for the Yuan chief helmsman, it is tantamount to a tempering in purgatory, although it will not be immediately reborn and changed, but the mood is very different from before, and he is not willing to reveal his heart to others as easily as before. So now, although he is talking and laughing with these people, he is also beginning to wonder what kind of heart is behind their smiles.

Zhao Yu quietly went and returned, and the chief helmsman of Yuan noticed it for the first time, and cast an inquiring look. Zhao Yu thought about it, waved his hand to the helmsman of Yuan, made a gesture, and motioned for him to leave the table to talk to him.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Chief Helmsman Yuan stood up and walked to a guest room at the back of the inn. Without turning his heels, Zhao Yu pushed the door in.

For the demon lord in front of him who deceived him and then really helped him a lot, Chief Yuan's attitude was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he hated Zhao Yu for deceiving him, and on the other hand, he was grateful, if he hadn't been deceived, he would still be in the dark and couldn't see the defensive thoughts behind Zhang Shicheng's hypocrisy. Especially when he thought that he was enough to be the opponent of the Demon Lord, it was only now that he realized that he was more than a step behind the Demon Lord, whether it was martial arts or scheming.

For many reasons, he would not be kind to Zhao Yu, and after a little hesitation, he asked: "You left for a while, but what did you do behind my back?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, Brother Yuan doesn't have to be so suspicious." Moreover, King Cheng's army is coming, and with such a disparity in strength, even if there is any conspiracy, there is no way to succeed. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Brother Yuan has recovered these people in Yangzhou City, and it will be the capital for you to settle down in the future." There are many things that I will talk about now, and there may be suspicions of sowing discord, but when I finally get acquainted with Brother Yuan, I will take some suspicions and talk about them. As for listening or not listening, it's all up to Brother Yuan, you weigh it yourself. ”

Chief Helmsman Yuan nodded, and said with an indifferent expression: "You say." ”

Zhang Shicheng was far-sighted, and Brother Yuan was aware of the eyeliner he had planted, and he would definitely not be able to hide it. Many of the problems that had been hidden were revealed, and your relationship with each other was bound to become awkward instead of being as harmonious as before. He is the superior person, and in such a situation, he will either directly put Brother Yuan under house arrest or even get rid of Big Brother Yuan, or double his courtesy, which is all in his thoughts. ”

When the chief helmsman heard this, his expression became more and more gloomy, but he did not open his mouth to refute Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu continued: "If you want to live and die without being in the hands of others, you must have a truly credible and not weak force in your hands. I think that Brother Yuan's old brothers in the Haisha Gang may not be credible. Even if they take a neutral position between Brother Yuan and Zhang Shicheng, it is still unknown what the contradiction will be. Therefore, I suggest that Brother Yuan carefully cultivate this group of forces that you have gathered in Yangzhou City. They are now throwing themselves over, and there is no clear position, and Brother Yuan has to spend time to tie them up with your interests, so as not to worry that they will not worry about your affairs. ”

"I naturally know these things, but I don't need you to come and talk about them again. Chief Helmsman Yuan said coldly, but his expression was a little softer.

Zhao Yu laughed and said: "In the final analysis, Brother Yuan and I are not an undying enemy, even if we are targeting each other at the moment, it is all because of Zhang Shicheng." Whether you live or die, to be honest, it doesn't have much to do with me, but I can't bear to watch a sincere person like Brother Yuan being humiliated by him. Before parting, I will give you a word, if possible, it is best to stay in Yangzhou and do not go back to Suzhou. Those people in the hall have been operating in Yangzhou for many years, and if they can be used by Brother Yuan, it will be a very strong help, better than Brother Yuan going back to Suzhou to take care of the Haisha Gang, which has also been eroded by Zhang Shicheng. ”

When Chief Helmsman Yuan heard this, his face changed, and he asked, "Are you leaving?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "There will be a result in this matter soon, I want to go back to Chuzhou to preside over the overall situation, and I will conquer Jiqing before I say it." Here in Yangzhou City, it will be a competition between Brother Yuan and Zhang Shide for a period of time in the future, but it has nothing to do with me. We'll see you later, or we'll have to decide on the field. ”

Hearing that Zhao Yu was about to leave, the helmsman of Yuan suddenly felt empty in his heart. The things he did after coming to Yangzhou, either Bai Shaoxia or the demon lord in front of him, planned a lot for him, although he was wary of the demon lord at the moment, but in fact, he also relied on a lot. If Zhao Yu leaves, to be honest, the helmsman of Yuan does not have much confidence in directly competing with Zhang Shide.

At the moment, he didn't care about guarding against the Demon Lord, he said directly: "The relationship between Zhang Shide and me is not good, and now that he is coming with hundreds of thousands of troops, how can I parry him?"

Zhao Yu sighed for a while and said: "The most important thing is to let those people in the hall bow down to you, and at the same time, you must remember not to give Zhang Shide a chance to take you directly." Although these mob rebels in Yangzhou City cannot be directly dragged to the battlefield to fight, they have a great effect on calming the situation in Yangzhou. As long as these people are in his hands, Zhang Shide will not dare to force people too much. Moreover, if my expectations are correct, his hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to be stationed in Yangzhou for a long time. As long as you can survive the first few torments, you will have variables. ”

"That's all I say, Brother Yuan, take care!" Zhao Yu said this, arched his hand to the helmsman of Yuan, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw the ring given by the helmsman of Yuan, he turned around and handed it over, and said: "I and Brother Yuan are friends and foes, and this thing can no longer be accepted, and now it is returned to the original owner." For your kindness, I can only thank Bumin. ”

Chief Helmsman Yuan took the ring, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh: "If you are just a white brother, but not a demon lord, how good it would be." ”

Zhao Yu saw his lost look, he felt a lot in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said: "In this way, I will make another agreement with Brother Yuan, if you really have a crisis that you can't deal with in the future, as long as you don't die immediately, as long as a credible person comes to me with this ring, I will help Brother Yuan get through a difficult time." Even if Zhang Shicheng's army is surrounded, I will do my best to rescue Brother Yuan. ”

With that, he arched his hand, paused, and then turned to leave.

Chief Helmsman Yuan looked at the direction in which Zhao Yu disappeared, his expression was slightly confused, he held the ring in his hand, and said in a lonely tone: "King Cheng, I don't live up to you, I hope you don't force me to use this thing......"

After leaving the Four Seas Inn, Zhao Yu directly ascended to the north gate of Yangzhou City. In the chaotic flow of people, Wei Yixiao, Li Chengru and others were still directing everyone to throw burning objects into the fire outside the city.

Seeing Zhao Yu coming, Wei Yixiao hurriedly greeted him and said, "Sect Master, if you don't come again, I will have someone to look for you." There was a man in the hidden part of the city wall who was about to go out of the city, and all those who stopped him fell to the ground in a daze. I tried to catch up, but I only got a few points closer, but I felt that my breath was sluggish, as if I had symptoms of poisoning, and I retreated for fear of a plot. ”

Zhao Yu knew in his heart that it should be the Blue Sect Master, this woman was surrounded by poison, and ordinary people couldn't help her. And even Wei Yixiao almost suffered a plot, Zhao Yu knew that these five poison sects were really extraordinary, no wonder even Wang Nangu, who was known as the "poison immortal", respected it.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Do those people who have been poisoned have serious symptoms?"

Wei Yixiao shook his head and said, "The people of the secret camp are all near this north gate now, and no one has been poisoned. Those who were poisoned breathed and had a normal heartbeat, but it was as if they were asleep. ”

Knowing that there was no loss on his side, Zhao Yu nodded and said: "It should be nothing important, it should be fine after a while." That woman is the leader of the Miao Five Poisons Sect, and she has some agreements with me that she should not use any cruel methods. ”

He looked at the messy city wall and said, "Bat King, let our people get down." That Yuan chief helmsman straightened out the large and small forces in Yangzhou City, and he would come to take over the city wall later. The brothers of the secret camp will stay in the city for the time being, and then go out of the city in batches. ”

When Wei Yixiao heard this, he was slightly puzzled and said, "But the army of Yang Wanzhi outside the city ......"

"Miao Jun is no longer worried, Zhang Shicheng's good luck, with our help, will take Yangzhou City without much effort. However, if he wins the city, we get people, and it is a good result. ”

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he made a gesture to Li Chengru and the others, signaling them to withdraw. (To be continued.) )
