After Long Ying landed, he rode Fei Jian to Yangzhou. On the way, he shaved off his beard and traveled day and night. He also took shortcuts from time to time and took wild roads. After arriving in Yangzhou, he found Ling Yu and was warmly received by his wife.
Ling Yu gained a little weight, and it was obvious that Shi Shi and Zhi Zi were as comfortable as a fish in water, enjoying family happiness. After the meal, the two went to the side hall to talk.
Ling Yu said: "I have informed Liu Nanguang to come see Master Ying, and he will be there at any time. Song Yanzhi has arranged to meet tomorrow according to Master Ying's instructions."
Long Ying said with a smile: "She is radiant in every move, and she looks younger than the last time I saw her. As the saying goes, no pain, no gain, your brother must be working very hard."
Ling Yu's face turned red and he said, "It's all thanks to Master Ying. Hey! Master Ying is laughing at me! Ha! I don't know why, but Master Ying is laughing at me like that. It's like my life in Chang'an has returned half a year ago."
Long Ying remembered the time when he and a group of imperial guards made fun of him and Juju. At that time, he didn't even dare to touch Juju's jade hand. Now they are not only married, but also the parents of two children.
, the passage of time makes people feel an indescribable feeling in their hearts, with joy and indescribable feelings of vicissitudes. Long Ying asked: "What about Xiao Zeng and Xiao Jia?"
Two imperial guards brothers, Xiao Zeng and Xiao Jia, followed Ling Yu to Yangzhou and became his trusted subordinates.
Ling Yu said: "Xiao Zeng has settled down and found his sweetheart here, who is the beautiful daughter of a tea shop owner. His future father-in-law thinks highly of him. Xiao Zeng is as romantic as before, but he has restrained himself a lot and no longer dares to cause trouble.
"
After chatting for a few more words, he asked about the situation in Shendu.
Ling Yu said: "The most sensational thing is of course the return of King Luling to the dynasty, which excited the people and brought a new atmosphere. In addition, the five sons of the prince have moved out of the East Palace and moved into the mansion in Jishanfang gifted by the Holy One. The prince abdicated the throne.
To the King of Luling, it should be something that is just around the corner."
The current crown prince is still Li Dan. He is a man without ambitions and knows Wu Zhao's intentions. It is a wise move to abdicate voluntarily and save Wu Zhao a lot of time.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Wu Zhao changed his original unpopular policy of attacking and suppressing the Li and Tang royal families to win over and appease him, and coupled with the marriage between the Li and Wu families, a situation in which the Li and Wu families were jointly in power was formed.
There is quite a chance of success. However, when Dama sneaks into the core of Li Xian Group, the situation immediately becomes ambiguous and unclear, which is a complete qualitative change. This shows how powerful the little Khan's work is.
Does Wu Zhao know Dama's identity?
Long Ying asked: "Is there any news about Tu Qishi?"
Ling Yu responded at a loss.
Long Ying said apologetically: "You should not know."
Ling Yu's task is to be the liaison between Song Yanzhi and Long Ying, and his responsibility is to report the information obtained. It is a merit-based job. The military's intelligence is top secret, even though he is one of the second-in-command guards in Shendu.
At that time, I still didn’t know much about it, let alone after being transferred to Yangzhou.
Ling Yu wanted to speak but stopped.
Long Ying said in surprise: "You can say whatever you want. Brothers, what are your worries?"
Ling Yu stretched his muscles and said sheepishly: "I'm afraid that Master Ying will blame me for looking so long at Shu. Alas! Sometimes I feel so idle that I really want to find something to do."
Long Ying's heart moved slightly and he asked, "Are you interested in becoming a businessman?"
Ling Yu said happily: "As long as there is something to do, it will be done."
Long Ying said: "How about becoming a salt merchant? But I still have to think about it. After I meet Gui Youwei and Qiu Shenji, I will come back to discuss it with you."
Ling Yu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
At this time, Liu Nanguang came, and Ling Yu sneaked away so that the two of them could talk secretly. Long Ying revealed the details of Jiang Lian's arrival in Dajiang Lian without concealing anything, and only concealed the affair. When Liu Nanguang heard "
"Fan Qingzhou" had to "disappear", his expression immediately changed, and his eyes showed a look of loss and reluctance.
Long Ying said: "You should be happy. Although you are no longer Fan Qingzhou," you can be Liu Nanguang again. From now on, you don't have to hide things from left to right. The nightmares you create are all related to having your identity revealed."
Liu Nanguang became energetic and said, "What can I do?"
Long Ying said: "You can arrange this yourself and announce it to the world. You can find any excuse, such as becoming a monk. Ha! I'm just joking. In short, you can find an excuse to wash your hands in a golden basin, and then walk away.
Change back to Liu Nanguang and appear as his successor. You'd better ask Zhang Dai and five other people to discuss the details with you. Now that you understand the current situation of "Fan Qingzhou", you can definitely transfer his retired Yu
A perfect strategy.”
Liu Nanguang said with a headache: "How should I arrange my daughter-in-law?"
Long Ying said: "This is simple and easy. She is just frightened by Xiang Ba's power, and is afraid that you will expel her immediately when you know her true identity, so she dare not not cooperate with Xiang Ba. As long as you tell her the truth about the situation, let her
She knows full well that you know everything about Dajiang Lian, and you are willing to make a promise to her, guaranteeing that she will obey you wholeheartedly."
Liu Nanguang still couldn't let go, and thought hard: "So what if she is acting in disguise? Wouldn't it be possible for her to defeat Lord Ying's plan?"
Long Ying smiled and scolded: "Why did you suddenly become stupid? Here's the trick. You pretend that you are 'Fan Qingzhou' who just came back from Dajiang United, and see that she is a chess piece of Dajiang United beside you. Use both soft and hard tactics first.
Then give her some good advice. If she has some feelings for you, she will definitely give in. Even if she leaves secretly, what harm will it do to us?"
Liu Nanguang slapped his forehead and said: "Master Ying scolded you well. I can't think of any simple and direct method. But even if she is willing to follow me, from now until next year's Pegasus Festival, I will not let her have the opportunity to come into contact with the enemy."
, this will be more appropriate.”
Long Ying pondered: "If she tries her best to deny it, or refuses to tell the truth, it means she is not sincere. At that time, I will cut off the relationship with her and drive her out of the house."
Liu Nanguang showed a look of intolerance and muttered: "What I'm most afraid of is that she is innocent, but we have wrongly blamed her."
Long Ying said: "Just by the look on your face that you can't let go of her, you know that we didn't blame her wrongly. This is the power of the charm technique, which can turn a wise king into a foolish king. Therefore, since ancient times, beauty traps have been tried and succeeded time and time again."
After being taught, Liu Nanguang said: "Ying Ye taught me well. The art of enchantment is really effective for men. Looking back, I have never been so obsessed with a woman. These more than 20 days have seemed like years, and I miss her every night."
Long Ying discussed the details of the operation with him, and finally said: "One more thing! The Junji Feijian that came back with me will be left in your care. I can't ride it around."
Liu Nanguang left happily.
After leaving Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, Long Ying had already learned about Tu Qi Shi's situation from Qiu Shenji. He wished he could grow wings from his ribs and fly to the Western Regions. However, Qiu Shenji's knowledge was still limited, and he only knew that Mo Chui was attacking Suo in an all-out way.
Ge, the latter suffered several defeats in a row, and the last news was that Zhenu, who had defected to the Turks, led 20,000 troops to besiege Suiye City where "Big Ya" was located. The situation was critical.
Qiu Shenji didn't know much about the situation, nor did he know the reactions of the Uighurs and Xijias. He knew nothing about Xue Yantuo's horse thieves, but it was enough to teach Long Ying to speculate on the critical situation in the Western Regions.
The two most important places in Tuqishi are "Big Ya" Suiye City and "Xiaoya" Gongyue City. Due to the betrayal of his brother Zhe Nu, Gongyue City fell into the hands of Mochu, which meant that the barrier was lost. If Suiye City was broken, Tu Qishi was as good as annihilated.
But no matter how eager he was to go to the Western Regions, he had to come to his senses first and see Wu Zhao, because he decided to tell the truth about Dama's true identity to the empress. It was reasonable and reasonable, and he had to report the story of Dajiang Alliance to her. If it works, try to win her support for your idea.
It was in this mood that he went to the secret place arranged by Ling Yu to meet Gui Youwei.
The meeting place was a food store on the street. After saying the agreed password, the waiter led him to the secret room behind the store and met the leader of the Zhuhua Gang.
The two had a deep friendship and sat down to talk freely.
Gui Youwei said: "Master Ying came just in time, Miss Duanmu carved it in Yangzhou."
Long Ying was overjoyed and said with joy, "Where is she? I'll go find her immediately."
Gui Youwei smiled bitterly and said, "I would have told you later if I had known."
Long Ying said awkwardly: "Of course it happened after talking to Gang Leader Gui. Ha!"
Gui Youwei was overjoyed when he saw him, and said tactfully: "To make a long story short, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of all the people with lofty ideals in the world who want to revive the Tang Dynasty. Without Ying Ye, the situation in front of us would never have happened. I heard that in After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the King of Luling will be officially enthroned as the crown prince."
Long Ying controlled the muscles on his face and pretended to be excited so as not to spoil the mood, but he did feel like he had nothing to say.
He couldn't help but resent Gui Youwei's "short story, long story". Although he knew that the problem was with him, he still couldn't suppress his burning emotion of being eager to see the fairy.
Gui Youwei is an old Jianghu. Looking at his brows and eyes, he knew exactly what happened and suggested, "Why don't we find a time to meet tomorrow."
Long Ying collected his thoughts and said: "It's really not that urgent. Is there any news about Dajiang Alliance in the near future?"
Gui Youwei stood up with a smile and said, "How about we walk and talk? We take a bus to Qingtian Temple in the western suburbs and walk a long way. There will be enough time for us to talk."
Long Ying was so happy that he jumped up from his chair and said with a smile: "The gang leader is thoughtful. Ha! I really am not in a hurry this time."
The carriage drove out of the rear bunk door.
Longying admired the lively street scene in Yangzhou through the curtains, feeling the joy of revisiting the old place. He had been suppressing his longing for Duan Muling, but now that the fairy was suddenly so close, how could he still control his anxious heart? He had never been able to control his anxious heart. For a time, he needed her so much that he couldn't bear the emptiness without her. He could only use his strong arms to hug her fairy body and experience the feeling of repulsion and mutual attraction between the fairy fetus and the demon seed. Only by caressing her tenderly can you compensate for the pain and suffering of a long separation.
Gui Youwei said: "Because the government vigorously cracked down on the Jinsha Gang, the people in Dajianglian were very restrained and did not dare to commit crimes. I heard that Lord Ying had severely cracked down on their secret human trafficking business in the Western Regions and Nanzhao. Is this right? Is this true?"
Long Ying reluctantly turned his attention to the conversation with Gui Youwei, explained the general situation, and said: "Chi Shanglou's arrest and death are confidential and must not be leaked."
Gui Youwei nodded to express his understanding, and sincerely expressed his gratitude and appreciation, saying: "A very sensational thing has happened in the world recently. The two old monsters from the Demon Sect are not dead yet, and they dare to go to Fangzhou to assassinate Luling.
King, fortunately, we were intercepted in Xiangyang. At that time, we had strong men and horses, and Mrs. Dama helped us. We surrounded them heavily, but they still escaped. However, it was strange. Afterwards, we mobilized all our forces, but we could not find them.
There is no trace of them. The evildoers of the Demon Sect are indeed up to their mark."
When Longying heard him mention Dama's name, his eyes showed reverence and admiration, and he felt terrible. After asking a few questions about the "two old monsters", he said: "Have you ever heard of a gang leader named Mo Yu?"
Is he from the League? He is a Huizhou native who specializes in gambling houses and brothels. His business is very large. He also has two beautiful daughters who are good at gambling." Gui Youwei shook his head blankly and said, "What if there is such a person?
, how could I not recognize him?"
Then he mused: "The most famous and beautiful woman in the gambling forest is Jin Shuxiu, who is known as the 'Little Fox Fairy'..."
Long Ying was not interested in listening anymore, so he interrupted him and said: "The gang leader can start with the supply of goods provided by the woman from Qinglou, and we will definitely find clues, but we must not alert the snake or arouse the vigilance of Dajiang Alliance."
Gui Youwei said in shock: "Did Dajiang United actually get involved in these two industries? No wonder it has such an accurate grasp of the situation of big and small gangs and the government, and it has strong financial resources."
Long Ying reminded: "Now we must limit ourselves to the stage of only collecting intelligence information, and leave this matter to the gang leader in secret. The less the enemy is aware of it, the more beneficial it will be for our future actions."
After discussing some details and pointing out that the Beauty Courtyard in Xiangyang was a good starting point for the investigation, the carriage drove out of the city gate and headed towards the river.
Gui Youwei couldn't help but said: "Master Ying has been away for many years and stayed in the capital of the gods most of the other time. How can he know more things than me?"
Long Ying smiled and said: "In the past few months, what I have done is exactly the work of investigation." Gui Youwei said: "Master Ying sat on the boat and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River, but nothing that happened around him could be concealed.
Lord Ying is indeed capable of what others cannot."
Long Ying laughed dumbly and said: "The gang leader actually came to laugh at me. Hey! How long do we have to go?"
Gui Youwei said: "Qingtian Temple is on a hill beside the river. It still takes half an hour to walk. I have sent someone to inform Miss Duanmu that Lord Ying is visiting."
Long Ying said happily: "The gang leader is thoughtful."
Gui Youwei came closer and said: "Yingye's martial arts are unparalleled, but what makes men in the world the most envious is not your martial arts but your beauty. Ha! General Qiu told me personally that he was extremely envious and jealous.
"
Long Ying said: "General Qiu is still afraid that there will be no beautiful women?"
When Gui Youwei talked about women, he became energetic and his eyes shone brightly as he said, "How beautiful they are, but none of them have golden hair."
Long Ying was stunned and confused.
Gui Youwei said with deep sympathy: "Mr. Qiu told me that he will never forget the scene when you carried the blond beauty from Tubo out of the room in a quilt."
Long Ying's heart screamed for help, not mentioning Yoke, but mentioning Mexiunafu. Not only did the touching scene of that night remain vivid in his mind, but it also evoked his longing for their mother and son.
On the one hand, I go to see the fairy I admire, but on the other hand, I think about Mercy and my son. What kind of life is this?
Gui Youwei's voice sounded nearby: "If Mr. Qiu knows what I know, he would be so envious that he would vomit blood."
Long Ying's curiosity was aroused and he asked in surprise: "Is the gang leader referring to me going to see Miss Duanmu now?"
Gui Youwei pretended to be mysterious and said: "Of course not. Are you interested in listening, Master Ying?" Long Ying quickly pricked up his ears.
