Two days later, Li Yuntian led Wang Lu and Nanjing Sanfa Si and others, escorted by many soldiers, to the wharf to take a boat, boarded the fleet waiting there, and then went down the river to Songjiang Mansion.

The reason why Li Yuntian wanted to go to Songjiang Mansion with great fanfare this time was firstly to verify the case of Diewu's father, and secondly, because in the face of Gu Chen's threat, especially the explosives in Gu Chen's hand, Lin Xin couldn't help but become nervous and strengthened Li Yuntian's security measures.

Mama Zhang, Diewu and other people from Qingfeng Building in Songjiang Prefecture were fortunate enough to board the three-masted warship Mingyang, standing on the deck with a happy face, condescendingly enjoying the scenery along the way.

It can be said that Zhang's mother and others completely entrusted Butterfly Dance's blessing, if it wasn't for Butterfly Dance to avenge their father, then how could they have the opportunity to board the battleship of the Ming Army, and they are also the flagship of the Ming Naval Division.

Compared with the excited Zhang's mother and her party, Li Shan seemed much calmer, he now knew Ming Yang well, so he didn't have the previous excitement and stayed by Keiko Yamaguchi's side.

Since Keiko Yamaguchi entrusted Li Shan to Li Yuntian, Li Shan naturally wanted to stay by Li Yuntian's side and return to Beijing with Li Yuntian at that time.

Keiko Yamaguchi wanted to part with Li Shan, so she stayed to accompany Li Shan, and she didn't know when she would be able to meet Li Shan after returning to the Japanese Kingdom this time.

What is especially important is that Keiko Yamaguchi knew that Gu Chen was fighting Li Yuntian's idea, so he stayed to help, no matter how powerful Li Yuntian's men were, they were no match for explosives.

Just when Li Yuntian rushed to Songjiang Mansion, that night, Nanjing City, on the Qinhuai River.

A painting boat moved silently on the water, and two men in the cabin of the painting boat were sitting facing each other, looking at each other.

"Uncle Wen Yong, I heard the name of the lord a long time ago, and now I can finally meet each other." After a brief silence, a man spoke first, smiling at the man sitting across from him.

"The eldest prince is serious, the eldest prince is in charge of the two Huai Salt Roads, and Gu admires it very much." Gu Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, and opened his mouth to compliment the other party, and the man sitting opposite him was Chen Guangzong.

Chen Guangzong successfully contacted Gu Chen through the contact information given to him by Cui Hui, and the two agreed to meet on this painting boat after agreeing on a time, after all, they were both wanted by the imperial court and had an enmity with Li Yuntian, so they naturally wanted to get a strong ally.

"Uncle Wen Yong, everyone understands people, so they don't go around in circles." Chen Guangzong smiled slightly after listening to Gu Chen's compliment, and said straight to the point, "Since Li Yuntian is everyone's enemy, then we might as well cooperate to kill him together." ”

"Li Yuntian's side is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to get rid of him." Gu Chen's brows furrowed when he heard this, and a look of regret appeared in his eyes, even Cui Hui was targeted by Li Yuntian, which showed that it was not easy for Li Yuntian to attack Li Yuntian's idea of attacking the city.

"No one is perfect, and the tiger still has a time to nap." Chen Guangzong suddenly laughed, and comforted Gu Chen, "As long as you and I cooperate, then there will always be a chance to take his life." ”

"What is the best plan for the eldest prince?" Gu Chen didn't have any good way to deal with Li Yuntian now, he could even connect with Li Yuntian now, so he looked at Chen Guangzong quietly.

"Once Li Yuntian leaves Jiangnan and returns to Beijing, if we want to kill him again, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." Chen Guangzong groaned for a moment when he heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Gu Chen and whispered, "Since he has gone to Songjiang Mansion now, then let's take this opportunity to kill him." ”

"To tell you the truth, my son has already asked people to notify the Japanese soldiers who are on standby on the coast of the Korean Kingdom, and ask them to rush to Songjiang Mansion, as long as they can arrive before Li Yuntian leaves Songjiang Mansion, then they can kill Li Yuntian."

As he spoke, the expression on Chen Guangzong's face became a little hideous, "Li Yuntian would never have thought that this prince would transfer troops anyway, so he would inevitably be trapped in the city." ”

"Eldest Prince, you mean you want me to use explosives to help in the war?" Hearing this, Gu Chen immediately understood, Songjiang Mansion was near the sea, so it was convenient for the Japanese soldiers to land and fight, but at that time, the city wall of the city where Li Yuntian was located would become an obstacle to the advance of those Japanese soldiers, so Chen Guangzong needed the explosives in his hand.

As for Chen Guangzong finding him, Gu Chen naturally knew that he had taken a fancy to the explosives in his hand, otherwise there was no need for Chen Guangzong's current power to meet him in such a hurry.

As for how Chen Guangzong knew that he had explosives in his hand, it was obvious that he got the news from Cui Hui, and I have to say that the method Chen Guangzong said was indeed the best way to get rid of Li Yuntian at present, otherwise they would be helpless when Li Yuntian left Jiangnan.

In fact, Chen Guangzong had already considered using force to get rid of Li Yuntian a few months ago, and even wanted to let the Japanese soldiers land on the coast of Yangzhou Prefecture, and then rushed all the way to Yangzhou City, killing Li Yuntian in Yangzhou City, as for the guards along the way, he was not taken into account at all.

It's a pity that Li Yuntian's whereabouts are uncertain, which makes Chen Guangzong have no choice but to wait and see what happens, secretly waiting for an opportunity.

The Diewu case was a godsend for Chen Guangzong, so on the one hand, he notified the Japanese soldiers who were on standby on the coast of Korea, and on the other hand, he urgently contacted Gu Chen, wanting to get the explosives in Gu Chen's hand to blow up the gate of the city where Li Yuntian was located.

After Chen Guangzong disappeared from the way to Jiaozhi, no one knew where he went, but now it seems that he took refuge in the Japanese people, and his power was not small, and he was able to mobilize troops and horses from the Japanese state.

Gu Chen didn't have the heart to know Chen Guangzong's identity in the Wa Kingdom, what he was concerned about was whether Chen Guangzong's plan was feasible and what the success rate was.

After all, the explosives in Gu Chen's hands were limited, so he must plan the use of them, so as not to waste those explosives in vain, this was his killer weapon against Li Yuntian.

"Uncle Wen Yong, the opportunity must not be missed, it will not come again, once we let go of this opportunity to kill Li Yuntian, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to move him in the future." Seeing that Gu Chen was deep in thought, Chen Guangzong couldn't help but persuade bitterly, if it weren't for the explosives in Gu Chen's hand, it would not be easy to attack the city guarded by the soldiers of the Water Division.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll send explosives to Songjiang Mansion." After pondering for a while, Gu Chen nodded to Chen Guangzong, judging from the current situation, he could only kill Li Yuntian with the help of Chen Guangzong's manpower, otherwise it would be an almost impossible task with his strength.

Besides, those pervasive spies in the Lecture Hall are also very difficult to deal with, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Gu Chen, so Gu Chen can only cooperate with Chen Guangzong.

In fact, deep in his heart, Gu Chen still rejected Chen Guangzong's cooperation, he didn't have any opinion of Chen Guangzong, but he was very contemptuous of those Japanese people, because the Japanese invaded the Ming Dynasty and thought that they were greedy, cunning, cruel and rude, and he looked down on the Japanese people.

Now that the situation is urgent, Gu Chen can't take care of it much, so he can only cooperate with Chen Guangzong, hoping to make a break with Li Yuntian.

It is worth mentioning that due to the perennial fatigue and the difficult living environment, coupled with the fact that he is over half a hundred years old, Gu Chen is now seriously ill, and he knows that he has not long to live, so he joined forces with Gu Chen and wanted to use the Japanese soldiers to deal with Li Yuntian.

Otherwise, Li Yuntian could easily consume Gu Chen to death, Gu Chen didn't want him to die on the sickbed, he would rather die on the battlefield, which was the best destination for him.

After the meeting with Gu Chen, Chen Guangzong returned to his residence in Nanjing City in high spirits, preparing to go to Songjiang Mansion tomorrow to take command and look for an opportunity to get rid of Li Yuntian.

"Sir, Madame is here." As soon as he entered the mansion, a subordinate greeted him and whispered to Chen Guangzong.

"Oh?" Chen Guangzong was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly walked towards the back house.

In the living room of the back house, Zijuan fell into deep thought, sitting quietly on the chair, at this time she had removed the makeup on her face and returned to her original appearance, a graceful and luxurious beautiful young woman.

"Madame!" When Chen Guangzong entered the door, he was overjoyed to see Zijuan, and hurriedly reached out to pull her up from the seat, and then took her into his arms, and said emotionally, "I thought you didn't want our father and son anymore!" ”

It turned out that Zijuan left Chen Guangzong five years ago, returned to Jiangnan incognito, and then met Ziyin, so she accepted Ziyin as a disciple, wanting to realize her unfulfilled wish on Ziyin, but she didn't want to end up falling short.

"Xianggong, why did you come to Jiangnan?" Zijuan was tightly hugged by Chen Guangzong, her eyes showed a complicated look, she slowly closed her eyes, and after a long time, she opened her eyes and asked.

Obviously, Chen Guangzong would definitely not have come to look for Zijuan, because Chen Guangzong didn't know that Zijuan would be here at all.

"Xianggong came with Fujitang Shizuko, Fujido Shizuko is the widow named Keiko Yamaguchi next to Li Yuntian, in recent years, with the secret support of Li Yuntian, she has laid a lot of territory, this time she brought her son to Daming, Xianggong wants to get rid of her in Daming, but I don't think this woman is very good, and she actually destroyed the intelligence network that Xianggong worked so hard to build."

Chen Guangzong let go of Zijuan, looked at her solemnly and said, "Go home with Xianggong, my sons miss you, Xianggong doesn't know how to tell them." ”

"Xianggong, is it still difficult for you to let go of those unbearable pasts?"

Zijuan and Chen Guangzong have been married for many years, so they naturally know Chen Guangzong's character, and they will definitely not stay in Daming for Yamaguchi Keiko for such a long time, Yamaguchi Keiko has not yet reached the level that makes him risk killing, so Chen Guangzong will definitely stay for Li Yuntian, so he said quietly, "You have enough reputation and status in the Wa Kingdom now, why can't you live a good life?" ”

"If it weren't for Li Yuntian's coveting of the Lianghuai Salt Road back then, our Chen family would not have been ruined, if Xianggong hadn't killed him to avenge his hatred, he would have faced the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan like this in the future?" Chen Guangzong saw that Zijuan had already seen his purpose for staying in Jiangnan, so his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said to Zijuan that he hated Li Yuntian extremely much in his heart, and it was Li Yuntian who took away everything he once had.

Seeing this, Zijuan's eyes suddenly showed a painful look, he hadn't seen Chen Guangzong for five years, and he still hated Li Yuntian very much, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly.

In Zijuan's view, Li Yuntian's thorough investigation of the Lianghuai Salt Road was an order, and the Chen family's ruin could not complain about Li Yuntian, as for the people who spoke of Wutang, it was not for Li Yuntian's selfish interests at all, she lived in Daming for five years, and the salt on the market has been sold at a low price for five years, and this was impossible when Chen Guangzong controlled the Lianghuai Salt Road, and the price was several times or even dozens of times higher than now.

Moreover, it was Zijuan who found Hongluan to intercede with Li Yuntian back then, so that Chen Guangzong was able to be assigned to Jiaozhi, instead of the bitter cold places such as Liaodong or Northwest, and also gave Chen Guangzong a chance to escape.

The reason why Chen Guangzong was able to escape from Jiaozhi was through his widows, who not only operated illicit salt but also secretly smuggled them, and he had a powerful group of widows under his command.

Since Chen Guangzong's foundation was in the south of the Yangtze River, if he was exiled to Liaodong or Northwest, it would be difficult for him to escape, and those Japanese pirates under his command did not have the strength to go to Liaodong or Northwest to rescue him.

In fact, Zijuan was used by Chen Guangzong at that time, and then pleaded with Li Yuntian, so that Chen Guangzong went to Jiaozhi smoothly, and was rescued from Jiaozhi by his subordinates.
