Chapter 511
In Jiangdu City, where the Xiaoguo Imperial Guards who were directly responsible for the emperor's security guard were stationed, Sima Dekan, the general of Wu Benlang, gently stroked the long ring-headed sword lying horizontally in front of his knees.
His eyes fell on the seven or eight generals and captains in the room. At this moment, everyone was feeling uneasy and their eyes were wandering.
"Why, brothers, you are already thinking about shrinking your eggs when the arrow is on the string?"
One of the captains, who had a hideous scar on his face, touched the scar that was still painful in the rainy weather, and said in a deep voice.
"We warriors have long put life and death at risk, but..."
"If we really follow Brother Yuwen and do this, what good will it do to our brothers?"
"That is of course an incredible wealth." General Yuan Li, another Huben man sitting on the lower left side of Sima Dekan, said with a smile.
"We brothers, all we thought about before was setting fire to the city of Jiangdu, stabilizing the chaos, looting some property, and returning home."
"But now, both General Yuwen and Young Inspector Yuwen have said that as long as we can capture that person."
"At that time, the world will be turned upside down. We warriors and soldiers can replace those nobles and dignitaries who occupy the toilet and do nothing."
"The position of duke is only determined by our brothers' thoughts. It depends on whether you are willing to be the robbers and thieves who rob wealth like the gray grandson, or whether you are willing to be the duke and general who can change the world."
Following the instigation of Sima Dekan, Yuan Li and others, all the old soldiers were angry and their eyes glowed red.
"Two generals, we are also greedy for the incredible wealth, but how much does the promise of General Yuwen and Young Inspector Yuwen really count?"
"Don't be like Your Majesty. You may say something nice at first, but then forget about our achievements." The person who spoke was the captain who had made great achievements in Yanmen.
But so far, in addition to receiving some rewards, his official position is still a small school captain. How can he not feel resentful?
Just when everyone was discussing in full swing, there was a knock on the door. In an instant, there was deathly silence in the room.
This group of men has been fighting for their whole lives, and they are accustomed to seeing mountains of swords and seas of fire, and their big hands have already touched the sharp blades at their waists.
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and a frivolous and sinister voice came.
"It's a certain person, Yuwen Zhiji, who came here to pay a visit to all the generals..."
#####
Yu Shiji got out of the car with a tired face and stepped into the mansion. After receiving the news, the old housekeeper who came in a hurry bowed to Yu Shiji and then lowered his voice.
"Master, someone came here early this morning. He said that he was ordered by Yang Liushou to deliver a message to the master. I wanted to keep it for the master."
"In the end, the man was unwilling. He said that he had been ordered by Yang Liushou and had to hand it over to the master himself."
"I don't know how to make up my mind, so I let him enter the house first and wait until you come back."
"Yang Liushou... let's do this. Bring him to my study, and I will meet him in person." Yu Shiji was stunned for a moment, then whispered his instructions.
Not long after, Yu Shiji, who looked tired, saw his confidant butler leading the young man into his study.
"Hu Wei of Xingze, on the order of Yang staying behind, came here to deliver a message to Yu Guanglu."
"Xingze, Hu Wei..." Yu Shiji raised his silvery eyebrows, took the letter, and looked at Hu Wei playfully.
He remembered that Yang Qian mentioned that this good friend of his in Xingze was now a grain merchant in Jiangnan, but he did not expect to meet him today.
"You are Yang Zijing's friend. Zijing actually asked you to deliver a letter to me. The weight of this letter is probably not light..."
"Exactly." Hu Wei nodded and replied.
"Yang Liushou told me that I must ask Yu Guanglu to read this letter."
"..." Yu Shiji opened the letter without saying a word. He only saw the first two sentences, and his handsome long eyebrows knitted together.
After reading this short letter, Yu Shiji's face turned pale even though he was old-fashioned.
He was in a high position, above the court, and his vision was far away, but unfortunately, he could see too far and too high, and his eyes could not touch the deep valley at the foot of the mountain.
Yang Qian's letter is like opening a corner, and the ferocious and sinister things inside are instantly revealed to the eyes.
Hu Wei looked at this distinguished and famous official in the court who used to think it was rare to hear his name. But now, because he had written a letter from his friend, he couldn't calm down.
He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but after all, he had been doing business for a long time and was used to seeing all kinds of people, so he hid his thoughts very well and didn't reveal anything.
At this moment, after the housekeeper personally brought tea to Hu Wei, he stepped aside but did not leave the study.
Yu Shiji took a long breath, then calmed down and smiled calmly at Hu Wei.
"In addition to asking you to deliver this letter in person, Yang Liushou, what else did you say to me?"
"If Yu Guanglu needs anything, Hu will try his best to help." Hu Wei, who had just sat down and took a sip of tea, quickly stood up and replied with a bow.
"Nephew Hu Xian, there is no need to be so polite, just sit down and say..."
Just after he responded, Hu Wei, who sat back behind the case, thought for a while and added another sentence.
"Anything Yu Guanglu asks, Hu will try his best to help."
These words were said in an extremely explicit manner, which meant that Yang Qian had already determined that this matter was likely to happen in the near future, so he had to make preparations as soon as possible.
Yu Shiji stroked his brows and pondered for a long time. "As a close official of His Majesty's side, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to leave Jiangdu."
"However, my family and four useless dogs will trouble my nephew."
When the housekeeper behind Yu Shiji heard this, his face turned pale, and he instantly understood that his master was making arrangements for his death.
"Master, what on earth is going on?"
"Uncle Zhong, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you for this period of time, so take good care of Dalang and the others..."
Yu Shiji looked at this confidant old housekeeper who had watched him grow up since he was a child and now had hair as thick as snow, and said solemnly.
Uncle Zhong fell to his knees immediately.
"Master, although I don't know what happened, master, if you are good at it, what kind of character are the four young masters in the house? Master, do you think I can stop this slave?"
Yu Shiji raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, he could only slap his forehead with his palm and smile bitterly.
My four sons are not at all like me, who likes to be wise and protective, but more like their uncle Yu Shinan, who has a strong personality.
If anything happens to him, those four guys, even if they are in a safe place, they will die generously to save their old father.
Supporting the old housekeeper who was crying and trying to persuade him, Yu Shiji sighed quietly. For the whole time, it was difficult to make a decision.
At this time, Hu Wei spoke softly. "Yang Liushou said that if Yu Guanglu is unwilling to leave the Eastern Capital, he has something to tell Yu Guanglu."
Seeing Yu Shiji's gaze, Hu Weiyan said, "When the time comes, I would like to ask Guanglu to be my nephew so that he can be useful."
Yu Shiji was suddenly shocked and looked at Hu Wei in disbelief. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
