Fang Zhen didn't notice the change in Wang Ze's expression, and the gang was already arguing about the future development direction, but at this time, the Cao grain was robbed, the Cao gang was shocked, and the court was furious.

He sighed deeply: "Brother Wang, it's not that I don't want to go north, I also want to go north, but first, there is a problem with Caoyun, and the bastards of the Brotherhood are making trouble for us; ”

Fang Jie didn't tell the truth, the gang's opinions are now more divided, and the most important thing is to catch Xiao Lan first and find the murderer of Fang Zhen, but behind this is that some elders in the gang believe that after Fang Zhen's death, the strength of the Cao Gang has been seriously weakened, so it is better to be still and not to start a war for the time being, and behind this is the distrust of the other party's outstanding Zhangcao Gang.

Wang Ze did not hide his disappointment, sighed deeply, thought for a while, and said: "I can't hide it, I received a letter from my brother, my Wang and Xu families' counterattack on the imperial capital is not smooth, otherwise, young helper, you make a posture of counterattacking Pengcheng and attract Xiao Yu to Pengcheng, so that our actions in the imperial capital will be greatly convenient." ”

Fang Jie hesitated a little before replying, "That's it, Brother Wang, I'll think about it again." ”

At this moment, Wang Ze poured out a trace of murderous intent in his heart, he forcibly suppressed the murderous intent and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for the news of the young helper." ”

Puji Zhenren frowned slightly, and glanced at Daoist Zongxing, who frowned and looked at the plum blossoms.

The four of them were interested, and said a few words casually, Fang Jie got up to say goodbye, Wang Ze didn't send the three to the door, just got up to send each other.

After the three of them left, Wang Ze was still sitting in the small pavilion, he looked at the four wine glasses that were still left on the table, his expression became very complicated, one was contempt, the other was disdain, and only when he saw the wine glasses opposite, his expression became solemn.

This wine glass is Liu Han's.

Liu Han's cultivation was beyond his imagination, after the first battle of Liu Lin, he asked the fisherman in detail about the battle experience and Liu Han's cultivation, and the fisherman thought that Liu Han's combat experience was very rich, and his cultivation should be between the sixth-rank grandmaster and the seventh-grade grandmaster.

The fisherman is the only person who survived the fight with Liu Han at present, and his judgment is naturally the most real, direct and important.

If the fisherman is not wrong, from the first battle of Liulin to the present, it has been less than a year, and Liu Han has made two breakthroughs and reached the Ninth Rank Grandmaster, which is only one link lower than the Great Grandmaster.

In less than a year, two breakthroughs!

When has it become so easy for Grandmaster to advance!

If it was someone else, he would definitely not be able to figure it out, but he was Wang Ze and came out of the Hidden Immortal Gate, so he knew that if he used the method of the Hidden Immortal Gate, it was possible.

Following this line of thought, a terrible conclusion was drawn, Liu Han was related to the Hidden Immortal Gate, and it was likely that he was the same as himself, and he was the world of the Hidden Immortal Gate.

The Wang family is a thousand-year-old family, with countless wealth in the family, and friends all over the world, and is the best candidate for walking in the world.

What about Liu Han?

The Hanhai Trading Company was also wealthy, but what about other conditions? In addition, Liu Han was also an officer of the forbidden army.

When did the world walk down to the point of being a small forbidden army!

Wang Ze couldn't figure it out, he wanted to make a tentative move, but he didn't dare to make a move before he figured out Liu Han's details, but seeing that Liu Han was in front of him, he was a little unwilling to let it go.

Sighing softly, he took a sip from his glass.

Fang Jie returned to the gang, he didn't hesitate, he found Yan Qi and was about to go out, but Puji Zhenren came over and wanted to go with him.

Fang Jie couldn't refuse this request, but he felt a little weird in his heart.

Puji Zhenren not only came by himself, but also invited Zongxing Daoist to come, and the four of them went to Fang's teahouse together.

Fang's teahouse was not near the Cao Gang's helm, but near the canal wharf outside the city, and the four of them came in a row, which made Fang Mei's a little surprised.

Since Fang Zhen's death, Fang Mei's family has not set foot in the Cao Gang Helm, on the one hand, after Fang Jie took over, she wanted to avoid suspicion; on the other hand, her secret identity is an internal guard, responsible for exploring the Cao Gang's internal intelligence, but she is unwilling to do anything to hurt the Cao Gang, so she simply does not come to the helm.

And Fang Jie, whether before or now, rarely comes to the teahouse, and the relationship between mother and son is also faint. But today, he brought three people to the teahouse.

Take Fang Jie to the quiet room, this room is rarely open to the public, most of them are used by Fang Mei's own use, the location of the room is very good, you can see the plum trees outside the window through the window, plum blossoms are in full bloom, dark incense bursts, on the canal in the distance, the boat shadow chats, and the dock is rare.

"Is there something wrong with Jie'er coming over today?" Fang Mei asked with a smile after sitting down, the two are not related by blood, but in terms of relationship, they are still mother and son.

"I have a lot of help during this time, and I couldn't come to visit in time, how is my mother doing during this time?" Fang Jie asked with a respectful expression.

"What's so bad, it's still like that," Fang Meishi said lightly, the little girl sent tea and a small stove, Fang Jie was about to take it, but Fang Meishi didn't give it to him.

"You can make tea, so I'll do it. Fang Meishi said, Fang Jie retracted his hand slightly embarrassed, Fang Mei's skillful warm cup of tea brewing, a set of procedures, poured out the first water, and then rushed to the boiling water.

After dividing the tea, Fang Mei made a gesture: "Dao Chief, Zhenren, Mr. Yan, Jie'er, please." ”

After speaking, he was not humble, first picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip gently, Fang Jie looked at the small teacup, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't like to drink tea like this, what he liked was to drink tea in a big bowl, just like drinking wine, such a small teacup was what scholars liked.

For this beautiful stepmother, over the years, the two have not had much interaction, and they usually get along, and they stop at courtesy, but for this stepmother, he still respects her very much, from his father's mouth, he knows that she never interferes with help, and she is usually kind and generous to the helpers, and is very respected by some ordinary helpers.

Putting down the teacup, Fang Jie couldn't wait to speak, but at this time, Fang Meishi glanced at him, and Fang Jie had to swallow his words stiffly.

"The Cao Gang is eventful, the Taoist and the real person can come, thank you for the surviving. "Fang Mei's clan first rushed to the sect chief and Puji Zhenren to give a salute and thank you.

"What did Madam say, alas, I have been friends with Fang Gang Master for decades, but I didn't expect it,... , alas, it is the lady who wants to mourn and change. Daoist Zongxing replied with a sigh.

"The first husband often said that the people in the rivers and lakes are dead, and today's result, the first husband has long expected it. Fang Mei's expression was calm, and there didn't seem to be much sadness, but everyone felt the grief in her heart.

"Fang Gang Master is open-minded, open-minded and generous, and is a generation of heroes. Yan Qi looked very sad, Fang Zhen had the grace of knowing him, he was just a poor scholar, he happened to meet Fang Zhen by chance, Fang Zhen appreciated his talent, funded him God to participate in the tasting, but unfortunately his birth was only a commoner, worse than the Shu clan, although there is a certain reputation, but the tasting only got the next grade, this tasting will naturally not be recruited, in the imperial capital for three years, poor, and finally Fang Zhen took him back to Yangzhou, since then, he joined the Cao Gang, for Fang Zhen to give advice.

"The deceased is gone, let's talk about it now, this inheritance left by the late husband, Xiaojie, you have to keep it. Fang Mei looked at Fang Jie and said.

Fang Jie was silent, looked up at Fang Mei's and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will never ruin the inheritance left by my father." After a pause, he said, "Mother, my father had a last word before, so that when I can't make up my mind, I want to ask you and Yan Junshi more." ”

Fang Jie paid attention to Fang Mei's expression as he spoke, but when Fang Mei's expression didn't change in the slightest when he heard this, he couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

"What's the matter?, what's the confusion?" Fang Mei waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't continue, he asked.

Fang Jie sighed, there were many things in the gang during this time, and each of them was not so simple, the grain was intercepted, the Cao gang went north, tracking down Xiao Lan, Liu Han suddenly appeared in Yangzhou, and all the piles fell out.

Fang Meishi didn't interrupt him, just listened quietly, and added tea to him from time to time, after a while, he finished speaking, and after taking a sip of tea, he sighed deeply, and suddenly, after saying this, he felt much more relaxed.

"What do you think of it yourself?" Fang Mei didn't give him a solution, but asked rhetorically.

"Me?" After Fang Jie drank three cups of tea in a row, he wiped the traces of water from his mouth, looked up at Fang Mei's, and asked with some surprise.

"Yes, you are the leader of the gang, you must first have a strategy, what is your strategy?" asked Fang Mei.

Fang Jie frowned and remembered, Fang Mei didn't bother him, Yan Qi was about to speak, Fang Mei glanced at him, and he closed his mouth.

In the past few years, several major decisions were made by Fang Mei's help, and several major battles were also planned by Fang Mei's for Fang Zhen, but except for a few closest people, others didn't know the role of Fang Mei's in it, in the eyes of outsiders, Fang Mei's was only favored by Fang Zhen because of his beauty, and he was a flower that Fang Zhen kept in the room, but in fact, this was a rose with thorns.

"There are differences of opinion in the gang, according to my opinion, it is to go north and recapture the imperial capital," Fang Jie said and sighed: "But there are differences of opinion in the gang, I want to convince everyone first." ”

"There are pros and cons," Fang Mei looked at Fang Jie, his eyes showed deep regret, Fang Jie still had too little experience, she didn't know how to cultivate, but Fang Jie was obviously not ready to serve as the leader of the Cao Gang, Fang Zhen still died too early.

"What's the benefit of going north? Where is the end? Have you ever thought about it?"

Fang Jie nodded: "I have thought about this aspect, the biggest disadvantage is that the enemy is very strong, Liu Han of Hanhai Trading Company and Xiao Yu of Fengyulou are both strong enemies, especially that Liu Han, who has the peak cultivation of the Grandmaster, and Xiao Yu also has the cultivation of the Grandmaster." ”

"Is there anything else?" asked Fang Mei calmly.

Fang Jie nodded: "If we go north with the main force, the Jiangnan Society and the Huaiyang Society may be unstable, and if we go north this time, if we lose a lot, I am afraid that the Jiangnan Society will take the opportunity to go west to Jiankang in the future, and the surname Xu has been thinking about it for a long time." ”

Fang Jie suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help twisting his neck, Fang Meishi didn't seem to see it, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Fang Jie was slightly stunned, frowned and thought about it: "I'm afraid it's the imperial court, but as long as we defeat Liu Han and Xiao Yu, the imperial court may only have to accept the fait accompli." ”

Fang Meishi nodded slightly: "Advance and retreat, up and down, have all been taken into account, Mr. Yan, what is your opinion?"

Yan Qi smiled bitterly: "The opinion below is to stick to Yangzhou, and it is better to be still." ”

Fang Mei's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, Fang Jie wanted to ask, Yan Qi shook his head at him slightly, he had to keep silent.

"Jie'er, do you know why your father is leaving the imperial capital?" asked Fang Mei.

Fang Jie nodded: "Father once said that the palace was unwilling to let the Cao Gang control the Yellow River waterway. ”

"Then why doesn't the palace let my Cao Gang control the waterway of the Yellow River?"

"My father supported King Qi in the battle for succession, so he provoked the dispute between Fengyulou and my Cao Gang. Fang Jie was a little impatient in his heart, his expression was a little irritable, and he shouted loudly: "But now that King Qi is dead, there should be no worries in the palace, besides, my Cao Gang has been serving the court for decades, and the palace should believe in our loyalty." ”

After saying this, Fang Jie felt that he was a little rude, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry ,..."

"It's okay," Fang Mei waved his hand and sighed softly: "Jie'er, there are some things, you still just see the surface, the battle for succession, your father is on the wrong side and has to withdraw from the imperial capital, although the King of Qi is dead, but the suspicion of the King of Qi in the palace is put down?

In addition, the war in the west is tight, and the palace is bound to be more vigilant against King Qi, if the Cao Gang goes north now, what will the palace think? The palace will not just think that it is a dispute between the rivers and lakes, they consider it from a completely different angle than ours, Jie'er, this matter, you think about it simply.

Third, Liu Han is an extremely difficult person to deal with, going north, there are fewer troops, and he can't take it down, but if he goes north, once he is defeated, Jiangnan will and Huaiyang will inevitably take advantage of the situation, and my Cao gang will probably face the disaster of annihilation.

Fourth, the revenge of the gang leader has not been avenged, and the murderer of the gang leader has not been found, so we don't know what suspense is behind this. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Meishi sighed deeply, and then spit lightly: "Jie'er, now is not the time for the Cao Gang to go north. 2k reading network
