[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Su Ye is used to leaving the most serious but not urgent matters at the end, so as not to forget to deal with other matters because of excessive attention to this matter.Cheng Ying has worked here for a long time, and she has also acquired her habits, so she was slightly surprised when she said the words.

Lianyunzhai is located at the border of the Great Song Dynasty. They have always been chivalrous and upholding justice. Within hundreds of miles, their prestige is higher than that of the government, and the common people all praise them.Even the figures in the Jianghu, there are many people who have good relations with Lianyunzhai and are their powerful allies and arms.

Qi Shaoshang, the master of Dazhai, comes from Leimen in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a talent cultivated by Leimen master Leijuan himself. He is nicknamed "Nine Existing Dragons".It is precisely because he has great ambitions and aims at the entire Jianghu in the Central Plains that he is not willing to be used by others, and blatantly leaves Leimen, which embarrasses the Lei family and Lei Juan.The two who were originally in love as brothers have since turned against each other.

When the Twelve Links Wu squeezed the Thunderbolt Hall, Lei Juan once appeared and fought the Twelve Links Wharf head-on. Later, he was injured under the siege of the Yin soldiers and was forced to break out of the encirclement and leave.Su Ye has never met him with his own eyes, but he only knows that he is inseparable from Leimen, but he resolutely takes action to help the sect in times of crisis.

Qi Shaoshang left Jiangnan, subdued the original eight village owners of Lianyun Village, and became the only leader in the village. Using this ordinary village as his base, he became a force that should not be underestimated.

However, Lianyunzhai is far from Jiangnan, and not close to the capital.Neither Su Ye nor Su Mengzhen had a chance to conflict with it.Considering the geographical position of Lianyunzhai, Su Ye decided to cooperate with them and make a friend for Twelve Links at the border.

Qi Shaoshang is very loyal, he is born to be a big brother.The cooperation between the two parties has always been pleasant, everything is aboveboard, all transaction conditions are on the bright side, and there has never been a common calculation behind the scenes.If it weren't for them living north and south, they would have done more things together.

Among the eight village leaders, several had already died in battle and were replaced by new blood. Now, including Qi Shaoshang, there are only eight leaders in total.In recent years, he has been recruiting heroes from all over the world, and it is said that he has found a young son with both civil and martial arts, intelligence and art, named Gu Xichao.

Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao formed a friendship with Jinlan, supported him with all their strength, and gave him a status below him.Since Qi Shaoshang is the head of the great village, Gu Xichao is called the head of the village.This person is not only deeply trusted by Qi Shaoshang, but also admired by the brothers in the village, and his reputation is growing day by day.

Su Ye had no intention of caring about the personnel changes in Lianyun Village.But Qi Shaoshang is frank and upright, and he refuses to have any reservations about his brothers, let alone hide the alliance with Twelve Links as a secret.Su Ye must know the names and backgrounds of the village owners, and their origins, so as to prevent Qi Shaoshang from being stabbed in the back, and Twelve Links will suffer accordingly.

Lianyunzhai has always been against the imperial court, hating the treacherous party in the imperial court, corrupt officials who often assassinate fish and meat people, and the prime minister Fu Zongshu is even more at odds with each other.Qi Shaoshang and Su Ye communicated regularly by letter, exchanging information they knew each other.From his letters, she can also glimpse the intensity of their conflict.

It is heard that Gu Xichao once sneaked into the imperial city of the capital, intending to assassinate the traitor, but returned without success.Fu Zongshu was initially shocked, so naturally he hated Lianyunzhai even more, and wanted to uproot it even more.

Su Ye looked around, thinking a lot, and then said: "Fu Zongshu never wants to get rid of his confidant's serious troubles. As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely attack Lianyun Village. This is well known and not a secret. You specifically mentioned He, it must be because something big happened?"

Cheng Yingdao: "Not long ago, the imperial court sent several generals to encircle and suppress Lianyun Village, and they ended up with heavy casualties and returned without success. In the past, although there were conflicts between the two, there was no straightforward encirclement and suppression, and no officials with such high positions were involved. . This is one of them."

Su Ye smiled and said, "Oh? There's another thing?"

Cheng Yingdao: "When Fu Zongshu received the letter from Pegasus, he first flew into a rage and reprimanded these people for only asking for money and having no real skills. After the reprimand, he sighed a few times and sneered continuously, saying that since this is the case, then only the last resort is available. .”

This information came from a secretary in the prime minister's mansion.His status is limited, and there are only so many secrets he can hear.He didn't know what the last attack was or who initiated it. After hearing this sentence, he obediently left the study and went to work.

The Twelve Links came to Beijing not long ago, and their foundation is still shallow. It is not easy to buy eyeliner in the prime minister's mansion.This eyeliner is not a waste, and it is not easy.Su Ye's smile slowly disappeared, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said: "The last move... the officers and soldiers have failed in the encirclement and suppression, and the last move will not repeat the same mistakes."

If you want to destroy a force, you must either do it from the outside or from the inside.The latter is less expensive and more profitable. It only needs to bribe a few important people, and it can be done once and for all, and the original leader of the power will be assassinated from behind.

Su Ye is very familiar with this method, and has personally experienced several times of betrayal by powerful subordinates.She was a little less lucky, she died a long time ago, and Sizhi still has lingering fears.

Therefore, when Cheng Ying mentioned the last move, six words immediately appeared in her mind like lightning-be born between the elbow and armpit.

Cheng Ying didn't know what she was thinking, they had discussed this possibility long before she came back.Lian Yunzhai is not the same as Fang Yingkan, and they are always trustworthy.Twelve Lianhuanwu would never abandon this ally unless it was absolutely necessary.

They each had their own thoughts, and were silent for a while.But Lu Wushuang had already moved the embroidery pier, sat next to Aunt Gongsun, and explained to her the names they mentioned.

Su Ye listened to her whispering, his face sank like water, and suddenly said: "I don't think Master Qi Dazhai will doubt brother. However, what I do is my business, and I'm afraid it's too late. Write back and remind him Beware of the people around you, especially those who are high-ranking and might be worth buying."

Cheng Lingsu said lightly: "The letter has been written and can be sent at any time."

Su Ye said: "Okay, continue to keep in touch with Lianyunzhai and inquire about the news in the village. If something happens to Qi Shaoshang, report it to me immediately and make preparations for rescue and support."

No matter who the Twelve Links form an alliance with, they will never sit back and watch the other party fall into trouble.Firstly, Su Ye thought it was a responsibility to her allies, if she only took the benefits and didn't contribute, then what's the point of forming an alliance.Second, if the Twelve Links stood by and watched, once people found out, it would be cold-hearted. Which decent force would cooperate with them?

From a personal emotional point of view, she appreciates Qi Shaoshang's broad-mindedness, and from a business point of view, it is beneficial and harmless to Twelve Links.She didn't want to become someone like Fang Yingkan, who didn't dare to count on him to lend a helping hand when she was in trouble.

Cheng Ying nodded to show that she knew, her face was still so dignified, she paused and said, "There is one more thing, maybe you are more concerned about it. After you left, we have remained silent, even if an unknown person provoked us, we didn't let it go Go to war."

Su Ye said: "Very good, so?"

Cheng Ying said with a wry smile: "So you can probably guess that we don't move, but others want to move. The conflict between Jinfeng Xiaoyulou and Liufenbantang seems to have originated from the branch of the other provinces. They have faced each other several times in a row. Once, the three hall masters of Liufen Hall were seriously injured, but Mr. Su was also injured, and was hit in the left arm by a hidden weapon."

Su Ye was indeed more concerned, with a calm expression on his face, he said lightly, "Is he seriously injured?"

Cheng Lingsu looked at her worriedly, and replied on her behalf: "The hidden weapon comes from the Thunderbolt Hall. Unlike common hidden weapons, it is driven by gunpowder in the middle. After it is shot, it can still change in ever-changing ways. That's why Mr. Su accidentally got the idea. In addition, The poison of the time-honored Wen family brand is quenched on the hidden weapon, which is no small matter. I think his life is safe, but the poison is not so easy to remove."

At this time, even Aunt Gongsun could tell that Su Ye's concern for Su Mengzhen was beyond ordinary.But she already knew that they were brothers and sisters, so she didn't feel strange.

Su Ye snorted softly, put the drained teacup back on the table, and didn't refill it, "It is said that every time the red shadow knife shines, he kills the enemy first. I thought the rumors were wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Lu Wushuang said with a smile: "As expected, you are from the same family, and you do exactly the same thing. When you encountered a difficult enemy, didn't you rush to solve it, and kept saying that you were afraid of causing too many casualties to your subordinates?"

She speaks more bluntly and doesn't show mercy to others, but every time she must tell the truth, Su Ye has nothing to answer.

Since Su Mengzhen's life is not in danger, there is no need to make a fuss.Su Ye thought for a while, and then asked: "Is there anything else? If not, I can go back to the Golden Wind and Rain Tower."

The Twelve Links is huge, so naturally there are other things.However, most of these things are trade transactions, daily chores, and news from Jiangnan.Ren Yingying continued to supervise the building of warships in the five great lakes, polished weapons, and continued to increase the strength of the general rudder in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to minimize the possibility that the main rudder would be empty when the dragon king of the five lakes left.

Zhu Xi was busy hiring masters to act as guards to avenge his brother and nephew who had died tragically, and he couldn't care less about embarrassing Twelve Lianhuanwu for a while.What's more, in recent years, he has repeatedly failed in his work on Huashigang, and has been reprimanded by the emperor three times, so he has to desperately give gifts to Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, hoping that they will help and speak well.He was too busy to take care of himself, so what energy did he have to deal with Ren Yingying?

The most worrying thing in Su Ye's heart was still the main rudder Zhuque Building. Hearing that it was safe and sound, there was nothing to worry about.

When she left Dongtianfudi, it was the morning of this day, and it was not yet noon. When she quietly slipped out of the sub-rudder, the sun had already slanted westward, covering the entire Kaifeng Mansion in a golden red warm light.

She walked up the streets of Kaifeng Mansion with ease, walked to Tianquan Mountain, climbed countless stone steps, and returned to the Golden Wind and Rain Tower that stood on the mountain forever.

The helpers in the building didn't expect that she would come back on time when she said she would be away for three months.Since no one witnessed her whereabouts, when she appeared, countless people were surprised.

Mo Beishen's eyes were sunken in his eyelids, half asleep and half awake, but at this moment he opened them in shock, and said in surprise, "Why don't we know when the girl came back?"
