Evil disciple, let go of the back of your teacher's neck!

At first, the news that the sage granted Chang's family title was just a rumor, and the people believed it, but not all of them believed it.Unexpectedly, the squire congratulated him like a cloud, and everyone in the village knew about it. He turned the rumors into facts and turned the Chang family into an ant on a hot pot.

What's even more ironic is that Chang Minxing has repeatedly stated that he has no intention of becoming an official. However, in the eyes of those flattering scholars, this move is all because the Chang family was once implicated by the criminal merchant He's family. There are relatives" reason.

In order to flatter them, they mobilized their sharp pens one after another, wrote big and special books, compared Crouching Dragon to Lu Zang, and they were clearly singing praises, but their secret intention to raise their social status was obvious.

Chang Minxing knocked out his teeth and swallowed his blood. The imperial edict was not issued for a day, and he didn't even have a target to ask for resignation. He could only let the rumors spread.

The toughest things are yet to come.

For Chang Minxing, the most urgent task is to find the daimyo lord as soon as possible, and Chen Qing is in the middle.He is very clear that there is no indestructible relationship of interest between himself and the Dongying people, and the fact that he can do business together depends on the words "success in the future".But to put it bluntly, this reason is less reliable than "come from the gathering". Once there is a crack in trust, the building named "Vision" sitting on it will undoubtedly collapse in an instant.

The defenses in the city were tightened day by day, Chang Minxing sent housekeeper Chang Qi out several times to search for people, but all failed, and this time he was in vain again.

He was annoyed by this, and those idiots, who were instigated by others, spontaneously came to Shuangyu in groups, saying that they wanted to pay homage to the "God of War" Mr. Chang, so as to strengthen Yan's military prestige.

Chang Minxing vaguely felt that there must be someone behind this incident.But he didn't have time to delve into it. Shuangyu, which was inaccessible in the past, suddenly became lively, and the place where the fire was placed became no longer secretive.Just in case, he brought a shadow guard to the island overnight for deployment, but luckily the journey went smoothly.

"Relocate all the troops from the Ten Watchtower to the Bingyan Tower, and then order the shadow guards to divide into three rows, and take turns watching the top nearby. They are not allowed to be left empty day and night, and not a single fly is allowed to enter."

The ancestral hall of the Chang family was built in the depths of the dense forest. There were rumors of fierce beasts appearing in the four places. Therefore, Chang Min paid a high price to build ten watchtowers around the ancestral hall, named after the ten heavenly stems.Among them, Binghuo belongs to Yang, which means shining in all directions. It is the watchtower closest to the statue of Mrs. Chang.Chang Minxing urged the housekeeper like this, but there was no response for a while.

He was a little dissatisfied, and his voice became heavy: "Chang Qi?"

Chang Qi came to his senses, answered "yes" again and again, and then asked hesitantly: "Master, is he really going to do this? The young master is still detained in the navy mansion, in case it is used as a bargaining chip..."

"Shuangyu has changed, and the navy will definitely respond to the sea with all its strength. At that time, the rear will be empty, and we will be unprepared for a strong attack. Aren't we afraid that we will not be able to rescue Yu'er?" Chang Min has a plan in mind.

Chang Qi asked urgently: "But if the lord of the name really listens to the rumors and refuses to send troops to attack, should we just sit and watch the young master in danger!"

Chang Minxing sat in the soft sedan chair silently, and after a long while, he said: "If it is true that there is no holiday, Yu'er also died for his ambition. He died well. He is a good son of my Chang family. He will be kept in the ancestral hall." of a place."

The chirping of birds in the forest is sparse, and there is not much light left in the day.As the crescent moon slowly climbed to the sky, Chang Qitong was immersed in the cold silence, unable to extricate himself.

"Master, do you want to imitate the old Gao Wujiu?"

"You are wrong, Chang Qi." Chang Minxing was finally willing to raise the curtain of the car, the moonlight illuminated half of his face of compassion, he said softly: "Gao Wujiu killed his parents and children for his own self-interest. I gave up Yu'er, but what I planned was for the well-being of the people, that's different."

Chang Qi stared blankly at the master he had followed since childhood, and once again glimpsed the familiar cruelty from under the Buddha's face.He suddenly remembered that Chang Minxing had the same expression on his face when he ordered the Japanese pirates to slaughter those craftsmen.

And three years ago, the master ordered him to hand over the defense map of Qin'an County to the Japanese bandit leader.

Chang Qi stopped talking, and it was not his responsibility to decide whether to criticize the master.When he turned to go, he stepped into a puddle, and there were a few spots of mud on his spotless robe.

As an old man in Chang's mansion, Chang Qi seldom behaved like this, but Chang Minxing didn't take it to heart. This is a child he picked up from the dead. He was able to save his life, and only he can rely on him in the future. Keep up the good work.

What Chang Minxing didn't know was that his most trusted butler took care of him and settled him in another courtyard on the island. He inspected the patrol and put it back in the ancestral hall according to his instructions, and offered a new stick of incense to the old lady Chang besides his instructions. After getting out of the gate of the ancestral hall, we came to the shoal where the dense forest meets the sea.

Wang Lang was already waiting here.

"Chang Qi has already found out what the major general wants to know."

Wang Lang turned his back to him, facing the sea with many waves, the moon was not broken by the waves.

Chang Qi understands that Wang Lang will not talk to him face to face before he pours out something, but this matter is of great importance, and Chang Qi must repeatedly confirm that Wang Lang can fulfill his promise to him.

"Does it mean that as long as I tell you the whereabouts of Huo Yin, the major general can save the lives of the master and son from Yan Wang and the Dongying people?"

The cold light was fleeting, and the clear and crisp sound was the sound of Wang Lang pulling the seven-star blade, he let go of his thumb in a moment, and said in a cold voice: "It depends on what you say, whether it is worth taking the seven-star blade out of its sheath once. "

Chang Qi bowed his head and knelt on the ground, suddenly trembling all over.

Just one day ago, Chang Qi was ordered to go out of the city to deliver a letter, but he actually met the Japanese.But the jackal-like daimyo lord didn't listen to his explanation at all, he tied Chang Qi up, poured horse urine and threw him into the bilge, and threatened to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks when it got dark.

Poor Chang Qi was choked to death, waiting in fear for the nightfall amidst the smell of musty and excrement.He is not afraid of death, he just thinks that the matter that the master told him is not over, and he will die unwillingly.

He shouted as hard as he could, and finally a small handyman was attracted to him. Chang Qi exchanged all the money on his body for a chance to escape, and ran to the cabin of the daimyo lord, but when he got to the deck, he saw A completely unexpected person stood shoulder to shoulder with the daimyo lord.

King Yan.

Chang Qi was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

He stuck tightly in the extremely narrow gap of the bulwark, and heard Feng Lin say to the daimyo lord: "You have to show sincerity to seek skin from a tiger. You killed Wang Lang for me, and I will give you a chance to kill the Chang family."

The lord of the famous name seemed to snort coldly, and said: "The Nanyang navy has today's prestige, and the prince has contributed a lot. How did you end up conspiring with my sworn enemy to deal with your own people?"

"If you are not a relative or a believer, what kind of person are you? What's more, it is not this king who betrayed the water first." Feng Lin said, "After four years of Longkang, how did the saints rise and fall, and how did this king get here? Nanyang, these lords are not fully known. However, because Wang Lang attributed all the merits of the mandarin duck array to Huangkou Xiaoer, the letter from the Naval Mansion to Chang's family was to ignore this king. He alone did not have such a big idea. Knowing that there is no sage's instruction, they are trying to win over the nobles from Mindi, and intend to empty the king in the navy."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Once the Chang family turns against you, you have only two choices left, either trust me or die." Feng Lin's voice was cold, "Also, if the commercial port is preserved, in the future, the ships in and out of Dongying will be treated the same as Dayan merchant ships. , your records in the Ministry of War have been cancelled. The act of robbing houses and homes is hard-won. Didn’t the lord think about changing the way of life?

Chang Qi couldn't see the expression on the Japanese man's face, but he knew that the other party had been waiting for this golden basin to wash his hands for a long time.After the violent shaking of the ship, Chang Qi almost fell down, he tightened his fingers desperately, and the response of the Lord of the Names really made the back of his hands stretched out with blue veins.

"It's a word."

No one knows better than Chang Qi Chang Minxing's dislike for the government. He has been loyal to the Lord for more than [-] years, and for the first time in his life, he took a big disgrace and found Wang Lang behind his master's back.

"Huo Yin is in the ancestral hall of the Chang family, hidden at the bottom of the incense burner in front of the spirit tablet. Chang Qi explored it for the first time, and it was very troublesome to dismantle it."

When Wang Lang untied his arms, he said, his upright figure relaxed the moment the constraints disappeared, and he leaned back in his chair: "Three days later, the foundation laying ceremony will be held. At that time, in addition to worshiping the sea god, we will have to tell stories in the ancestral hall. After all, the formation of mandarin ducks My surname is Chang, this hurdle cannot be circumvented no matter what, Chang Minxing made such a plan without showing his face at all, when this general offers incense and prays, it is the time when the bones and ashes are thrown away."

Liao Wuji idly picked the basin, when the leaping toad smacked his hands, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a twist of fine powder came out between his fingers, there was no movement in the basin for a moment.He closed the lid, turned his head and sighed: "Using the ashes of my ancestors as an introduction, the surname Chang is a character."

Wang Lang asked someone to make the tea thick, lowered his head and took a sip, slowly thinking about the bitter taste: "The tower is surrounded by towers, and there are all first-class masters inside. The Chang family's elites are well known, and it is not advisable to attack by force. It is not impossible to die with us if we are in a hurry."

Liao Wuji said: "According to this..."

"The current strategy is to keep the warehouse in the dark." There was a clanging sound from outside the curtain, and the red agate swayed in the gap of light, which seemed to be sharp. Chi Xiaoyu opened the curtain, and Feng Lin walked in, "Chang Minxing is just a The squire, even if he burns his boats, can't achieve a complete blockade within a few days. The land can't get through, and the underground river may be able to use it."

The problem was solved, but no one could relax. Feng Lin and Wang Lang looked at each other, each falling into a tacit embarrassment.

At the end of the dark river, the water flow is narrow and fast, and it is especially difficult to walk in the dark when there is no light. Those who need to do things are very good at water.In addition, the difficulty of this matter is that there is no second chance. If you miss a hit, whoever is more powerful, the tongue of fire or the blade of the shadow guard, is essentially the same for the person performing the task.

One more thing, neither Feng Lin nor the Nanyang Navy is suitable to be the executor of this matter.There is no other reason. So far, the old man Chang is still the "God of War" who protects the peace of one side, and has a high reputation among the people of Minzhou.If you want to get rid of Huo Yin, you will inevitably be suspected of disturbing the gods. Once the incident is revealed, the person who bears the anger of the crowd will definitely have nothing to do with Dayan Chaotang.

"I'll go, who is better at diving into the water than me?" Liao Wuji touched his bamboo stick, got up and brushed off his sleeves, so chic.

Wang Lang frowned and asked, "You?"

Liao Wuji took two steps, and he read Lu Fangweng's words in a round and jade-like tone, with a lot of enthusiasm.

"A flick of a finger floats through life, and I know it will be broken when I fall into the steamer. Go and sing drunk and lie down, why do you need to sing solo. 【1】"

Wang Lang hated the sour writing and fake vinegar the most in his life, but tonight he did not interrupt for the first time.He settled for a while, and said: "The Naval Mansion has no extra military salary, so it can afford your entertainment."

Liao Wuji laughed, looking up at the dome like ink.That year when his green shirt was first stained with fine dust, he saw mountains, rivers, rivers and seas as fine dust, which could be dispersed by the wind.He does not believe, does not follow righteousness, does not persist for a long time, thousands of miles of rivers and lakes are turbulent, ox carts come and leaves boats go, he changes the world and the earth.But at this moment when the fortune and fame are gone and the chains are gone, when Liao Wuji raised his head again, he found that in that vast distance, there seemed to be something that remained unchanged from ancient times.

"The Riding Whale Gang has always had a constant purpose. To rob only heavenly objects, and to take on jobs, only take on big jobs. Is there anything in this world that is more like what Liao Wuji should do than stealing people's ambitions and carrying the sinking island with all their strength? He turned his face slightly, and said: "My young master doesn't care about the reward for the work that suits people's wishes."

Feng Lin was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If this matter is accomplished, this king will try my best to help you, so as to get rid of the hanging red of the Whale Gang under the name of the Ministry of Punishment."

Liao Wuji shrugged indifferently, spread his palms, and said, "That's all. Fame can be wiped away, and the crime of 100 people's heads can't be erased. I'm not that greedy, just one thing. Major General Lao will take care of me."

"You said."

Liao Wuji said: "Liao is no different than before. My family has my own cares. My wife is delicate. Whenever I have a choice, I don't dare not to know it. Now it has become hasty. I also ask the major general to ask for his permission on behalf of me."

He said that because he was actually afraid that Yu Feirou would get angry.Without further ado, Wang Lang sent someone to go, but the messenger came back with a message, and he spoke in the full Yushihedong accent.

"Okay, you rotten blind bastard, you've learned to cut first and then play! Let's not care about the past, wait until you come back whole, and watch me tie your hands and feet with chains! I can't hold you back alone, and I will add this in my stomach later." , you can be careful with me for the rest of your life!"
