Chapter 207: The Storm of Bashu (2)

When Qin Man was ordered to go to Lou Cang to contact Liu Kan for the first time, Tang Li had already left Lou Cang and went out for study.

Therefore, Qin Man had never met Tang Li. However, during her time in Lou Cang, she had indeed heard people mention such a person. It is said that this person was Liu Kan's think tank, and even gained Liu Kan's trust and reliance more than Shen Shiqi and Cao Wushang.

But I haven't seen it before, Qin Man soon forgot this name.

Even when Tang Li joined Qin Zhi's disciple, Qin Man just thought the name sounded a little familiar and didn't care too much about it.

Now that he heard Tang Li say it, Qin Man was stunned!

The tiger talisman in Tang Li's hand was not the tiger talisman used by the court officials. To be precise, this tiger talisman was a token created by Liu Kan in private. The whole body was cast in bronze, covered with black paint, with the words "Old Gun" engraved on the front, but the back was a Canglong pattern.

The tiger talisman is exquisitely created, and Liu Kan only has nine such tiger talismans in his hand.

Qin Man has also seen it, so he recognized it at a glance that this tiger talisman is definitely not a fake. In addition, when he remembered Tang Li's origin, Qin Man couldn't help but be surprised. How could Tang Li join the second uncle's disciple as a disciple? Could it be A Kan's arrangement? But why did A Kan make such an arrangement?

Tang Li is no longer Tang Li three or four years ago!

Over the past few years, he has traveled thousands of miles, experienced the coldness of the world, and his eyes are very vicious.

Tang Li immediately noticed Qin Man's stunnedness. He quickly figured out the reason and couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Man, don't doubt it. Li and A Kan have known each other for many years. A few years ago, A Kan started in Lou Cang. Li felt that he had not learned enough, so he was determined to travel. He had been separated from A Kan for many years and was not able to meet again half a month ago... The reason why Li was under the Second Master was originally due to accidental accident. He just unexpectedly discovered some flaws, and it coincided with the relationship between the Qin family and A Kan, so he decided to stay."

Qin Man couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when Tang Li explained this.

He hurriedly said: "Man is rude... Since Tang Sheng is A Kan's friend, Man shouldn't have any doubts anymore."

Tang Li didn't care. He walked to the window, looked at Qin Zhili's villa, and said in a deep voice: "Since Miss Man believed me, Li won't say anything more. Since the second master turned back to Jiangzhou, Li found something strange. The second master had a very close contact with the old tribes, and he stayed overnight at the homes of the four tribes several times, not knowing what to discuss. At that time, Li did not dare to contact Miss Man rashly, so he had to secretly send someone to Jiangyang and notify A Kan... Tonight, A Kan sent someone to send me news."

"ah?"

Qin Man was shocked again.

Tang Li said to himself: "A Kan and Kuai Sheng both thought that the second master's move was quite strange, and thought that the Qing Lao was not in Jiangzhou now. If Miss Man continues to stay here, it will be dangerous. But... A Kan and Kuai Sheng did not expect that the Qing Lao would suddenly..."

Speaking of this, Tang Li sighed.

A look of sadness appeared in Qin Man's eyes.

After a moment of silence, Tang Li said: "It seems that the second master has already planned and deliberately concealed the death of the old man in Qing to gain time to convince the old man of the Qin family. From the situation in the past few days, the second master is probably already gaining the support of the old man of the clan, and he should try to get the position of head of the family at the ancestor worship ceremony two days later. Miss Man, Shu Li dared to ask, what are your plans now?"

Qin Man fell into silence, closed her eyes, and pondered without saying a word.

It is undeniable that as the heir chosen by Qin Qing, Qin Man is indeed different from an ordinary woman. But no matter how capable she is, she can't help but feel a little panic when encountering such a thing.

"Tang Sheng, you are friends with Akan. Man believes you... Man is now in a mess, so please give me some advice."

Tang Li smiled, "Actually, there was no guidance. It just depends on what choice Miss Man prepared. Or willingly gave up the position of monk leader, or competed with the second master. However, Li thought that if Miss Man wanted to compete with the second master, she would be afraid that there would be little chance of victory."

Qin Man said oh, but had no expression on his face.

"Tang Sheng, Man is the heir chosen by his grandmother. Most of the elderly in the clan know about it. How can they not have much chance of winning?"

Tang Li said: "The second master planned this matter in one or two days. Li learned a lot of things under the second master's sect. As far as Li knew, many people in the Qin family did not agree with Miss Man taking over the position of head of the family... The reason is very simple. Miss Man is too young and has insufficient qualifications. Although the Qing Lao appointed Miss Man, to be honest, if the Qing Lao was still alive, no one in the Ba clan dared to stand up and stop him. The problem is that when the Qing Lao passed away suddenly, Miss Man's deterrence power in the clan would be greatly reduced.

Nowadays, at least 60% of the Ba people indigenous people under the jurisdiction of Ba County are willing to support the second master.

At the same time, the second master has many diners under his rank, and he also manages the wealth of the Qin family's Bashi... Haha, Miss Man may not be able to fight...

In addition, the Third Master seems to have expressed his attitude and should stand on the side of the Second Master. Although the Third Master does not take charge of the affairs of the tribe, he is an official after all. To a certain extent, the Third Master's actions also represent the opinions of the government. No matter how the court considers it, before His Majesty's decree arrives in Jiangzhou, the Third Master's attitude will also affect many people."

After listening to Tang Li's analysis, Qin Man suddenly felt very discouraged.

"So, don't I have no chance of winning?"

Qin Man didn't care much about the position of the head of the Laoshizi family, but she was unwilling to bow down easily in this way.

After pondering for a moment, she raised her head and whispered: "Since the sir is here, I must have an idea to teach me?"

Tang Li said in a deep voice: "Akan and Kuai Sheng originally wanted Miss Man to hide in Jiangyang and wait for the Qing Lao to turn around. But now, the Qing Lao is not here. If Miss Man wants to compete with the second master, she cannot continue to stay in Jiangzhou. If she stays in Jiangzhou, she will have no chance of winning; if she leaves Jiangzhou, she still has a glimmer of hope. It depends on how Miss Man chooses, whether to compete or not? It is all in your thoughts, Miss."

"So what if you fight? So what if you don't fight?"

"If you fight, the Qin family can still be safe; if you don't fight, the Qin family will be destroyed!"

As soon as Tang Li said this, Qin Man was shocked. How could it be better to be the rise and fall of the Qin family?

Tang Li was a little alarmist.

"Miss Man doesn't believe it?"

Qin Man didn't agree, but judging from her expression, she really didn't believe it.

Tang Li also expected this result and said calmly: "Miss Man thought Li was an alarmist statement? In fact, it was not... If A Kan was here, he would probably have the same idea as Li. Li only asked Miss, for Your Majesty, is Bashu the old Qin Dynasty or Bashu the Qin family? "

Qin Man couldn't help but take a breath...

Tang Li continued: "Li didn't know what kind of relationship between the old man Qing and Your Majesty. But he must have a deep relationship, so that His Majesty could tolerate the old man Qing to control the land of Bashu. But this tolerance was based on the old man Qing's health. If the old man Qing left and looked at the Qin family, who could give His Majesty the old man Yu Qing? If he could not gain trust, how could His Majesty tolerate the old man Qin family controlling Bashu?"

"this……"

Qin Man was speechless.

"For many years, the people of Ba have only heard of the Qin family, but not the Qin family." Tang Li said: "Your Majesty is determined to establish great achievements, so how can you tolerate such a situation? Therefore, once the Qing Lao leaves, Your Majesty will definitely start to take back the control of Bashu, and the Qin family will be in danger.

The complete Qin family is undoubtedly a threat.

Your Majesty may not be afraid at the beginning, but Miss Man can guarantee that Your Majesty will never be afraid? Well, even if Your Majesty is not afraid, will the new emperor be afraid after His Majesty a hundred years? Whether it is Your Majesty or the new emperor, if this fear is with you, the Qin family will definitely suffer.

So, if you want to protect the Qin family, even if you don’t want to fight, you must fight..."

Qin Man's eyebrows frowned and couldn't help asking, "Sir, even if I fight, can Your Majesty not be afraid? Moreover, you said that the second uncle is now full of wings. What else can I fight with the second uncle besides the people in this courtyard?"

"Miss Man, if you stay in Jiangzhou, there is nothing!"

Tang Li smiled and said, "But if you leave Jiangzhou, you have room for maneuver... At least, Miss Man, you are the heir designated by the Qing Lao. If you are in Jiangzhou, you will be controlled by the second master, and people will gradually forget about this matter. But if you leave Jiangzhou, just the heir is enough to give the second master a headache. I believe that there are still people in this place of Bashu that are willing to obey you."

"Sir, it seems to make sense." Qin Man nodded and said, "When my grandmother went to Xianyang, she did leave her seal."

"It's better. With the old Qing seal, I believe many people will serve Miss."

"But in this way, will Bashu cause chaos? How can the Qin family protect it?"

Tang Li said: "What Your Majesty is worried about is the complete Qin family; if the Qin family is divided, the control over the Ba people will inevitably be reduced. At that time, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to take action to balance this situation. Within three or two years, will Your Majesty still become afraid of the Qin family again when His Majesty controls Bashu? At least, in view of the face of the Qing Lao, he will never have any doubts about Miss Man's side.

A Kan once said: I am willing to give up, and I have to give up and gain!

If Miss Man wants to protect the Qin family, first, she must compete with the second master; second, she must always maintain the weak side in the fight and strive for support from Xianyang. Although this will weaken the Qin family's reputation in Bashu, it is the best way to preserve it."

Tang Li finished speaking in one breath and let out a long sigh.

"In a hurry, Li could only think of these. As for the specific actions, it would be better to make careful plans after leaving Jiangzhou."

Qin Man pondered without saying a word...

There is no doubt that this is a difficult thing to decide.

At the same time, after Qin Qing's death, Qin Man must resolve the first crisis.

In the past, under Qin Qing's wings, Qin Man didn't need to bother too much. He just needed to act in the established direction... But now, no matter what decision he made, it would have a huge impact on the Qin family. Where to go is indeed a big question.

"Sir, I'll listen to you!"

Qin Man gritted his teeth and said softly: "Let's leave Jiangzhou, try to go to Jiangyang first and meet with Akan. When to leave and how to leave, Man follows the instructions of his husband."

Tang Li said: "Leave Jiangzhou immediately!"

"Now?"

"That's right!" Tang Li said: "The third master comes back today. After tonight, the second master will definitely take action. Now, the second master and the third master, as well as the elders of the clan, are all discussing things. I guess they will not be able to get out of here for a while. The guards in the farm are not tight, so I have ordered Lin Su and the others to prepare and protect the lady to leave tonight.

Shen Shiqi released three tower ships from Jiangyang, and now they docked in the Shuangshan Gathering in the southwest of Jiangzhou, which is enough to take us to Jiangyang."

It seems that Tang Li has made proper arrangements!

Qin Man made a quick decision and immediately found Xiao Jin and Ba Wen and packed his bags.

Xiao Jinbawen was all Qin Man's confidant, so he naturally had to leave with him. There were more than a dozen servants in the courtyard, but Qin Man couldn't believe it.

At this time, Qin Man showed enough courage.

She asked Tang Li to deal with the slaves... In fact, before Qin Man gave the order, Lin Su had already taken care of all the slaves in the other courtyard. How to solve it? It is conceivable that Qin Man would never be ruthless in his life or death.

The ceremony is very simple. Apart from a few pieces of clothes that need to be changed, it is Qin Qing’s seal.

Qin Man kept the seal in person, then put on his helmet and armor, and walked to the gate of the courtyard. Bawen held the war horse and waited. Qin Man turned over without saying a word.

The Loufan Cavalry also cleaned up. Under the leadership of Lin Su, they surrounded Qin Man and Tang Li and others, and quietly left the farm in the dark.

As Tang Li said, the guards of the farm were not tightly guarded.

Maybe it was because he was sure to win, Qin Zhi did not send anyone to monitor Qin Man. So the journey went very smoothly.

After leaving the farm, Qin Man and others immediately raised their whips and rushed towards Shuangshanju.

This double mountain gathering is named after the two mountains to the north. The two peaks confront each other and the green daisy are divided equally, which is an excellent scenery in Jiangzhou. The river water bypasses here, and the water is extremely gentle. When Qin Man and others arrived at the double mountain gathering, it was already midnight. From afar, you can see three large ships quietly moored at the ferry. The moonlight is bright, and the Canglong flag inserted at the bow is flying in the night.

A strong and middle-aged man was standing on the deck.

Wearing a cloak, covered with rhinoceros armor, holding a heavy, black copper spear in his hand, majestic and murderous intent.

Seeing Qin Man and his group coming, the middle-aged man jumped out of the boat early, ran to the team quickly, and saluted: "Jiangyang Zuoshi Li Xing was ordered by the county magistrate to welcome Miss Man. The ship is ready, please ask Miss Man to board the ship quickly, and we set sail immediately."
To be continued...
