Chapter 733: Drama
After sending Liang Kecheng and Su Chengcheng Chang Wei away, they were not in the mood to go shopping, so they simply entered Jiyuezhai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Kuanren, have you had any novelties lately?"
Li Kuanren secretly glanced at Yu Piaoling, and stopped talking, over there Song Sanniang saw the opportunity to pull Yu Piaoling to see the jewelry, Chang Wei gave Li Kuanren a look, he cleverly said that he wanted to take Grandpa Guo to see some novelties, led Chang Wei to a secret room, and took out a box of strange and obscene things in front of Chang Wei, but he didn't say anything, and looked at Chang Wei with flickering eyes.
"How do you sell this?" Chang Wei casually picked up an extremely delicately carved thing and asked.
"Three thousand three hundred taels of silver. He hesitated: "If the grandfather really wants it, three thousand taels." ”
Facing the restrained Li Kuanren, Chang Wei said in a serious tone: "Three thousand taels, the cost of Ji Yuezhai is also two thousand seven or eight hundred taels, after deducting labor, this piece of jade will be two thousand four or five hundred taels Ji Yuezhai will be in hand." Kuanren, I know that you are the top master in this industry, and you tell me the truth, is there such a good thing in the world?"
It wasn't hot in the room, but fine beads of sweat were already faintly visible on Li Kuanren's forehead and nose, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed: "I knew there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and it was also Song Dongzhu's bad luck, he shouldn't have expected his grandfather to return to Jiangnan." ”
"Ji Yuezhai is too eager to expand, although the low-price strategy has long become history, but insiders will inevitably have doubts, but everyone is not clean, and no one wants to come out to speak. Kuanren, from your previous words, I know that you are a person with a heart, even if you are involved in smuggling, you are not deeply trapped, as long as you cooperate with me, I will not only protect your life, but also, you are also the treasurer of Jiyuezhai Suzhou. ”
“...... Then, Guogong, what do you want to forgive?"
"Account, I want Ji Yuezhai's account! It's enough for people to only catch Song Tingzhi and his mastermind behind the scenes, Ji Yuezhai has finally made a name, I don't want to destroy its golden signboard. ”
Li Kuanren was not Song Tingzhi's confidant, and after he noticed the abnormality of Ji Yuezhai, he began to move closer to Chang Wei, and he had already taken his family to Suzhou, so Chang Wei was not worried about leaking secrets.
To calm his emotions, Chang Wei bought a few things indiscriminately, and the two came out of the house laughing, but they heard Song Sanniang praising Yu Piaoling without saying anything.
Leaving Ji Yuezhai was already the beginning of the lanterns, and sent Yu Piaoling back to the bamboo garden, Chang Wei went straight to Fenglaiyi.
Qingluan and He Chong secretly went to Ningbo, Chu Yanming took his brothers to Changzhou, and the people of the Jiangbei Group were drawn to pieces by Songjiang and Zhenjiang, and Feng Laiyi lost many familiar faces for a while.
"My eldest young master, you are finally back. ”
In the deserted courtyard of Qiushan, he only saw Li Qishan alone, Chang Wei knew that something big had happened, and sure enough, he heard him say quickly: "Last night, the alliance suddenly launched an attack, and by this morning, all the strongholds of the Changkong Gang in Danyang have been cleared!"
"Ha~ Finally gave me face and didn't hit Zhenjiang? Oh, this is a bit unexpected...... Danyang was too close to Zhenjiang, Chu Yanming would not waste his strength there, and soon he would retreat to Changzhou. ”
Chang Wei groaned as he paced.
Chu Yanming frequently mobilized the men and horses of the alliance on the front line of Su Changhu, if there was no action, it would be strange, but the timing he chose was quite intriguing.
"It's been withdrawn. A hint of admiration flashed in Li Qishan's eyes: "The line report said that the alliance killed four people, and nine people who were seriously injured and lost their martial arts, and the corresponding numbers on the side of the Changkong Gang were thirteen and six respectively. ”
"The number of casualties on the attacking side is small, Chu Yanming is not simple, who gave him advice?"
There is no difference between a person who has lost his martial arts and a dead person for the strength of a sect, but the impact on morale is very far away - people must live to have hope.
"It's Zhuge Mo, and the first attack site is chosen in Laojun Temple. ”
This little Zhuge is not in vain, Chang Wei secretly praised in his heart.
Gao Shenghan has already told Chang Wei all the strongholds of the Changkong Gang in Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Danyang and other places, among the five strongholds in Danyang, Laojun Temple is in the position of the central hub, Chu Yanming should be surrounded but not attacked, intending to attract other places to come to the rescue, so that the attack and defense are transposed, so that Changkong can not take advantage of the geographical advantage.
"This should be a very beautiful battle in terms of tactics, but what is the purpose? Danyang is just a small place, and the center of gravity of the alliance in Jiangnan is Yingtian and Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang he didn't dare to come, it was me, the same encirclement point to help, you can openly surround Danyang, secretly hit Longtan, even if Zhenjiang's Changkong Guanshi is not fooled, try his reaction, not to mention that if Changkong Guanshi really sits back and ignores Danyang, it will inevitably hurt Jiangbei's morale. But why did the Allies pass up such a good opportunity?"
"What do you mean...... The alliance is not ready to fight a big battle that has a bearing on the overall situation?"
"It's hard to say, but a few months of training and pre-war preparation should be enough. Of course, the previous battle had destroyed the morale and confidence of the Alliance, and it is not clear whether the Alliance was trying to restore morale through a few small victories. ”
While talking, a maid came to report that Fang Huan'er was in a hurry to see, and hurried to the Jade Corner Tower, the copper oil lamp in Fang Huan'er's bedroom was not lit, and in the moonlight, she was standing in front of the south window in a distracted manner, and the exquisite curves actually outlined a figure of ecstasy.
"Master, it's really unexpected, guess who's coming?"
It wasn't until Chang Wei deliberately made a noise that Fang Huan'er seemed to notice it, turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Oh, to surprise you, this man must have some weight. Chang Wei suddenly became interested.
"It's not surprising that the third brother of Changkong and the brothers of the Chu family are here, is it the master of Shaolin Kongwen, or the real person of Wudang Qingfeng?"
"It's not them, my father-in-law, Old Man Tang has a good face, even if he has something to ask me, he must be through Jinyi, and Brother Xiao comes, you won't be too surprised, isn't it......" Chang Wei's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Could it be the ethereal smoke Lingyun?"
"Ye really can't forget Yan Lingyun!" Fang Huan'er chuckled: "It's Huashan Lu Feibai who is here." ”
"Ha~ It turned out to be this old boy, it's really interesting!"
Chang Wei said with a smile: "His disciple Yuan Wenbi was locked up in the prison of Songjiang Mansion by me and Shen Kuang, the Yuan family is such a precious son, I am afraid that he will not be able to relax if he is not nearby, and it is not surprising to come to Suzhou." It's just ......" Chang Weiyi frowned: "Lu Feibai is in a high position in Huashan, and he suddenly appeared in Fenglaiyi, aren't you afraid of other people's suspicion?"
"He changed his name to Lu Song. Fang Huan'er explained.
Chang Wei told everything that happened in Songjiang, Fang Huan'er frowned slightly, and said, "The news of Huashan spread so fast!"
Lu Song? Dare to use a fake road to lead, this old boy is self-defeating, if you don't make good use of this, how can you be worthy of God who has always favored me!
"Xianggong, is it really you?!"
Hearing Xu Xu's exclamation, Tang Shuxue rushed down from upstairs, and when she saw that it was really Chang Wei, she was surprised and delighted, and suddenly threw herself into Chang Wei's arms.
"Scared, but we haven't seen each other for three days!"
Looking at Tang Shuxue with a bright smile on her face, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart, and after a closer look, this little girl's middle coat had already been taken off, and only a lake silk placket was draped outside her belly pocket, and a pair of lotus arms wrapped around her neck were jade and round, and a large piece of snow was exposed on her chest.
"Do people miss you!" Tang Shuxue said greasy to my ear: "You don't want me?"
"Girl, I just came to see you when I returned to Suzhou, do you think I want you?"
originally wanted to solve Tang Tianwei on the spot, and told Tang Shuxue in bed, but was dispelled by her words.
Although Lu Feibai only lived in Fenglaiyi alone, he must have a close connection with the party henchmen, his sudden disappearance in Fenglaiyi may lead to crazy revenge from the same party, although Chang Wei himself is not afraid, but once they target Suzhou City, it is not just one or two people who threaten, and then He Chong will complain again.
But the opportunity under his nose let it slip away in vain, and Chang Wei was unwilling. It seems that the only way to do this is to settle for the next best thing, and try to trap Lu Feibai in Suzhou, so that he has no time to take care of it, so as not to disturb the matter of suppressing the Japanese.
When I went to Fenglaiyi again the next day, I heard someone shouting: "Oh no, Chu Sanye and Mr. Lu are about to fight in the Peony Pavilion!"
When Chang Wei arrived, the room was already tense, a delicate Huanghuali chessboard was shattered, chess pieces were scattered all over the ground, and in the corner, Zhuang Qingyan was lying on a few and crying sadly, which made people feel pity.
Chu Tonghe stood in the middle of the room with an angry face, if it wasn't for Bai Xiu to stop him, he was afraid that he was in Fenglaiyi, maybe he would have beaten the old man opposite half to death.
And the old man opposite him didn't seem to be afraid of him at all, he raised his eyebrows and didn't let him go at all, but when he heard Bai Xiu say that Guogong was coming, he naturally turned his gaze.
He is Lu Feibai, Rao has been cultivated by Tang Shuxue's Tang Sect disguise technique, and Chang Wei can't see any flaws, but the pair of eyes are a little infiltrating.
"Long time no see, when did Brother Chu come back?"
The appearance of Chu Tonghe was not in the plan, this time Chu Yanming mobilized Su Changhu's people, there was no him, Chang Wei always thought that he was still in the base camp in Hangzhou, and he never thought that he would return to Fenglaiyi at this time, and it was obvious that he was taking over from his nephew Chu Yanming to sit in Suzhou, so that the battle of Danyang did not look like the product of the whim of the alliance.
"Grandpa Guo, you came just in time, you comment, Lao Tzu just wanted to say a few words to Miss Zhuang, this old man just pushed back, grandma's, Qingyan is not married to you, is it your turn to speak for her?!" As he spoke, he pointed to Lu Feibai's nose and scolded.
Smelling the smell of wine on Chu Tonghe's body, Chang Wei knew that he was a little drunk, but before I could speak, Lu Feibai had already sneered: "Since the old man has chartered the Peony Pavilion, Miss Zhuang is my person during this period, is it possible that the rules of the industry will change when Feng Laiyi arrives? !
Chu Tonghe was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look Lu Feibai up and down, and only after a while did he say in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that your old man is actually a friend of the Tao, but we are so tight!"
After that, he gave a deep salute to Chang Wei and said: "Guogong, Sister Xiu'er, I am reckless today, if you break the rules, I will make amends to Sister Xiu'er, but this old man is not well-intentioned and deliberately sows discord, don't fall for his evil!"
"What did the third master say, Feng Laiyi and your faction are not a one-day or two-day relationship, Mr. Lu is just a momentary anger. Bai Xiu chuckled, and then said: "Since this matter is an unintentional mistake of the third master who does not know the rules, just apologize to Mr. Lu and pass it, don't let Qingyan be embarrassed." ”
Chu Tonghe apologized stupidly, Chang Wei gave Bai Xiu a look, Bai Xiu dragged him out of the Peony Pavilion with coaxing, Feng Laiyi's other prostitute Leng Yinping was waiting outside the door, Chu Tonghe changed his smile and walked towards the painting screen Xiaozhu with Leng Yinping in his arms.
"It's our fault to disturb Mr. Lu. Bai Xiu sincerely apologized: "However, no matter how you look at Mr. Lu, he doesn't look like a person in the rivers and lakes." ”
Seeing Chang Wei sitting beside him, Lu Feibai couldn't help but answer, and said with a salute: "Grandpa Guo, Sister Xiu, don't hide it, the old man is Lu Song, the money and grain master of Lord Yuan Chonghuan of the Ministry of War, and the identity of this third master of Chu was told to me by the Qingyan girl." ”
"It turned out to be someone from Inspector Yuan's mansion, is Inspector Yuan okay?"
Chang Wei casually snorted, but secretly thought in his heart, this Lu Feibai is really cunning!
He Huashan is Yuan Chonghuan's guest, and he is very familiar with the Yuan family, and Yuan Chonghuan is far away in Liaodong, even if he wants to confirm the evidence, he can't do it for a while.
pretended to pick up a few deeds of Yuan Chonghuan and asked him, he understood that Chang Wei was testing him, so he answered like a stream, looking like he was in his chest.
"Master Lu is here in Jiangnan this time, is there anything I can help with?"
Anyone who sees Chang Wei's current appearance knows that he has believed in the identity of this Mr. Lu.
A sentence seemed to remind Lu Feibai that he weighed it for a long time, and in the end he was eager to save the apprentice, so he couldn't help but say: " This year is the fiftieth birthday of the imperial concubine, and the old man came to purchase congratulatory gifts for Lord Yuan, but on the way, he heard that Yuan Gongzi had committed an accident in Songjiang, and the old man was hesitating whether to come to the rescue.
"I see!
Chang Wei was stunned, and then sighed: "Actually, I am friends with Shen Shiqing, the head of the Shen family, even if it is for Shiqing's sake, if something serious happens, I would have rescued Yuan Wenbi a long time ago!"
Yuan Wenbi's subordinates immediately left Songjiang to ask for help after they were arrested, and Lu Feibai didn't know what happened after that, and couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it: "What's the big deal?"
"I just came back from Songjiang, Yuan Wenbi was originally just imprisoned by Songjiang Mansion because of a street fight, I told the prefect Yu Shanmo Lord Yu that he had been released, but unfortunately one of the people he injured was seriously injured and died, and Songjiang Mansion had to put him in prison again!"
"Killed someone?!"
Lu Feibai was suddenly confused, of course he understood that the government didn't care about the brawls in the rivers and lakes, and there was no reason to stop easily, not to mention that there was a murder!
He rubbed his hands and paced around the room in circles, the chess pieces were trampled by him countless times, and he muttered and scolded: "Wen Bi, Wen Bi, as soon as you come out, you will cause trouble! How good is this, how good is this...... That anxious look did not have the calmness and calmness that Elder Huashan should have.
"It's not that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and there are several people who were arrested together with Yuan Wenbi. ”
Lu Feibai was finally not carried away by the worry, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, those eyes suddenly came to life, and he said slowly: "Grandpa means ......"
"What do you think, what is Yuan Wenbi's identity, how can he use his own hands to deal with those ruffians and hooligans?"
"It's extreme, it's extreme!"
Lu Feibai was a little clear, and his expression suddenly relaxed, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape. Leaned down to help Qingyan clean up the chess pieces, taking the opportunity to calm down the troubled mood, and said after a while: "I heard that his elders have gone to Songjiang Mansion, and there is a grandfather to help him, so I don't need to worry about it, save my spirit, and teach Qingyan girl to play chess is the right thing." ”
I didn't realize that I cared too much for a while, and I didn't care about it for a while, and I was full of flaws.
"Master Lu likes to play chess, that's great, I'll also know a little bit about this, how about a discussion?" instructed the subordinate to change the chess set, and the two played against each other.
However, at twenty moves, Chang Wei knew that even if his chess strength was weaker than his own, the difference was extremely limited, and if he was counted in the restless factor, his chess strength was even above his own.
Lu Feibai casually talked to Chang Wei about the scenery of the capital, and his words were quite elegant. Thinking of Zhuang Qingyan saying that he is a rare and interesting person, not to mention the strange skills and ingenuity of his body, even if the bed is far less brave than Chu Tonghe, he is considerate, and he is also used for medicinal stone utensils, and he is full of tricks, which is many times stronger than Chu Tong and the rough man.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and this destined opponent has a lot more common language.
Halfway through the chess game, Bai Xiu called Chang Wei out in a timely manner, saying that Chen Qichang sent someone to find him to discuss the matter, Chang Wei took the opportunity to leave, Lu Feibai looked at the chessboard, quite regretful, Chang Wei then pressed Yu Piaoling, who had been watching from the sidelines, on his seat, and said with a smile: "Piaoling is also a master of this way, let her accompany you to play chess!"
"Master, if Xiao Yu hadn't looked away, although this Mr. Lu was extremely smart, he didn't have much ambition for the rivers and lakes, and in terms of scheming, he was no less than 108,000 miles worse than Yuan Wenbi. ”
Two days later, Yu Piaoling came to report the results.
In her eyes, aside from the identity of Elder Huashan, Lu Feibai is at most an old playboy with strong desires, and Elder Huashan's identity is enough for him to satisfy this desire, and when he comes to Jiangnan, there is a good chance that his disciple Yuan Wenbi or the Yuan family will bewitch him.
"The process has nothing to do with us, I just look at the results. ”
With a detailed training plan, Tong Guan's obedience has become an advantage, in addition to 'opening the mountain', he has also learned to 'break the tree', and the queue drill of listening to the drum and entering and singing the gold is also similar.
Similarly, Wu Siming's mixed method of fighting with bows and arrows and cavalry also had a small success, and Fu Zhouzi gave it a 'three-stacked wave' according to the name of the three-stage shot, which means that the three attack methods are like three huge waves, layered on top of each other, endlessly, until the enemy is all swallowed by the huge wave.
The quality of the muskets in the anti-Japanese battalion was produced from Zhenjiang, and their durability and shooting accuracy have been greatly improved compared with the past, and they can shoot at least 10,000 rounds of paper shells.
With this advanced weapon and fast-loading paper shell bullets, Fu Zhouzi began to increase the amount of training, and the combat power of the anti-Japanese battalion began to soar rapidly.
I have to admit that Wu Siming is an outstanding military talent, and in the sparring exercise, Wu Siming can not only make a correct judgment by judging the situation and sizing up the situation, but also analyze it to the head, which makes Fu Zhouzi, who loves talent, contradictory.
"Xijue, you don't have to worry too much, if Wu Siming has nothing to do with the Japanese Kou, I don't want the military to lose a rare general because of this. As for me, no matter how fast he is promoted, what do I have to be afraid of? He can't catch up with me on a rocket. ”
There was nothing to do in the camp to suppress the Japanese, and Shen Kuang and Song Tingzhi had not yet made contact, so Chang Wei walked back and forth in Suzhou and Zhenjiang with peace of mind, and his energy was vented on a beautiful concubine.
However, the alliance and the Sky Gang fought three battles in a row in just ten days, although the scale was not large, but it also caused turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and rumors spread everywhere.
"Ruyu, what kind of mystery is Chu Yanming doing?"
Looking at Li Qishan's secret report, Chang Wei was puzzled. After solving the stronghold in Danyang in Jiangbei, the alliance did not completely withdraw, but established a stronghold in the Laojun Temple in Danyang, equipped with more than 30 members of the alliance, but put the main force in Lucheng, which is fifty miles away from Danyang.
Changkong Guanshi made two feints to attack Laojun Temple, but set up an ambush outside Danyang City, intending to ambush the main force of the alliance that came to help, but Chu Yanming's main force did not move, and Jiangbei invested in Laojun Temple There was not enough manpower, and there was no result for a night, and he had to retreat in a huff during the day.
When the third Jiangbei attacked Laojun Temple, the alliance retreated almost as soon as it made contact, and easily gave up the stronghold, and the main force in Lucheng City only responded to the matter, and there was no intention of taking advantage of the gap to attack the Jiangbei garrison Zhenjiang reinforcements, from beginning to end, the establishment of the Danyang stronghold, Chang Wei did not see any function, the only thing that left a deep impression was that Chu Yanming's enemy was like a god, and this has been detected by Li Qishan because the alliance has a powerful informant in Jiangbei.
Yan Ruyu's smile was full of wisdom: "Changkong and Chu Tiankuo are both scheming characters, Ye can't underestimate them, they should have seen the meaning of Ye provoking a fight, so they will fight a few times on the spot, and they will never fight to the death." ”
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for the simple use of the Dragon and Tiger List, the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes would have been torn apart; and another martial arts conference, how many sects would have formed a bond! For this reason, the Jin Ge Society and the Changkong Gang spent countless more energy and money to buy people's hearts, and they barely unified the Jiangnan and Jiangbei martial arts. ”
Every ten years, decades, the entire martial arts must be unified under one banner, and it is because of this that there are so many talented people who come one after another, just to let themselves stand at the top of the rivers and lakes. Although Chang Wei is quite skeptical of the theory summarized by Yan Ruyu, it is also in line with the history of thousands of years to explain the rivers and lakes.
Yan Ruyu continued the topic of Fang Cai: "Once Chu Tiankuo and Changkong's peerless wings are full, under the expansion of ambition, they must want to get rid of the oppression of the master, defeat the other party and dominate the rivers and lakes." For the master who has become a stumbling block, they naturally dare not use assassination. ”
"So they took another way and made trouble for me in the court, so there was the Jiangnan incident last year, therefore, Ruyu, your conclusion is that it was a play, specially performed for me. Chang Wei said thoughtfully.
If you think about it a little deeper, Jiangnan and Jiangbei suddenly started a war, and as soon as the war started, they killed corpses all over the field, which is not to let the people in the DPRK and China have their own excuses. After all, the martial arts conference was made up by itself.
Yan Ruyu nodded approvingly: "Once the master is forced to stay away from the rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be a short-term gap in the control of the rivers and lakes by the imperial court, and Chu Tiankuo and Changkong both want to use this opportunity to gain control of the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, so as to win the initiative." ”
But last year's plan made them realize that the emperor trusted the master so much, and the master's talent completely exceeded everyone's estimates, and he had the strength to be the best in the world, so everything had to be started again. Because of his friendship with the master, Changkong is naturally fantasizing. ”
On the one hand, Chu Tiankuo showed favor to Ye, and on the other hand, because he had a backer behind him, I am afraid that he still had to work hard in the court, so that Ye could leave the rivers and lakes as soon as possible, at least leave Jiangnan first. But in any case, it is not appropriate to make a big move at this time, so as not to anger the master, if the master starts a killing ring, the consequences will be unpredictable. ”
"So, Danyang's tug-of-war is actually a farce for people to see? No wonder Chu Yanming's intelligence is so accurate, I'm afraid it was also deliberately revealed to him by Changkong!"
Both of them have gathered a large number of men, and if there is no war for a long time, everyone's minds may have slackened, and the fighting spirit has been exhausted, and if there are no more two battles - even if it is a symbolic battle, maybe the two groups themselves will fall apart.
