"I'm the only one here to see the situation in Jiangning City. I still can't see clearly. I hope General An will tell me who we will help and who we will fight next..."
In the room, after You Hongzhuo and An Xifu sat down, Liang Siyi straight to the point stated the questions in his heart. He was a straightforward person, so he was unambiguous when he decided to help others. Naturally, An Xifu also understood this.
, smiled at this time.
"No one can tell exactly how the situation in the city will develop at the moment, but we can still understand the general trend..." He said, "The Fairness Party has risen rapidly in Jiangnan in the past two years. It is said that we all respect He Wen
, in fact, there were only dozens of forces at first, all bearing He Wen's name. In the past two years, they have actually had several large and small alliances. The first dozens of forces have now become
There are five branches of the largest Fair Party. And today’s Jiangning meeting is a new alliance.”
An Xifu said: "In the previous alliances of the Fairness Party, no one's power expanded to the entire Jiangnan. Therefore, it was an internal alliance at that time. Any two combinations on dozens of hills would grow at once. But today's Fairness
The five largest branches of the party have become a situation where you are among me and you are among me. There is also a lot of friction between them. To put it bluntly, they have to arrange their seats in an orderly manner. This is the purpose of today's entire Jiangning conference.
.”
You Hongzhuo nodded.
An Xifu said: "If it were just the five branches of the Fair Party fighting behind closed doors, many situations might not be as complicated as they are today. It would be over if the five branches join forces and fight together. But the division of power in Jiangnan, now
Although it still seemed chaotic, there were still small forces like 'Big Dragon Head' rising up one after another, but the big trend had already been set... So He Wen opened the door, and the other four families also extended their hands to the outside world.
This is the plan. The competition on the scene is just for fun. In fact, in private, the five Fairness Party families are trying to shake people down."
You Hongzhuo smiled: "This means that if you can't tell the winner inside, you call in helpers first, and see who has the bigger fists and more helpers on the scene, and then fight with each other. Or if one side has strong soldiers and horses, it can be seen on the surface.
If you understand, then even the fire union will be saved."
"That's the truth." An Xifu said, "Nowadays, many forces of all sizes in the world have sent people. For example, we now know that Wu Qimei and Tie Yan from Lin'an have sent people to lobby here.
.They have been beaten badly by the Fair Party during this period, especially the two branches of Gao Chang and Zhou Shang. Sooner or later they will be beaten to the point where they cannot resist, so they saw the opportunity and want to find out whether the five branches of the Fair Party can
There is one group we can talk to, and maybe if we take refuge there, we can find another way out."
Speaking of Lin'an Wu, Tie's side, An Xifu sneered slightly, You Hongzhuo and Liang Siyi also laughed. Liang Siyi said: "This kind of people may survive to the end."
You Hongzhuo thought for a while, but couldn't help but nod: "It is indeed possible."
"Wu and Tie are two clowns, but they are still one side's bargaining chip after all." An Xifu shook his head and smiled, "As for other parties, such as Zou Xu, Liu Guangshi, and Dai Mengwei, they actually have teams sent out. Like Liu Guangshi's
People, we are relatively clear here, the deputy leading the team and the person with the highest martial arts skills is the 'Monkey King' Li Yanfeng."
"...Brother You may not know that the original title of 'Monkey King' came from Manichaeism, which was originally one of the twelve guardians of Manichaeism. The early generations of Manichaeism only existed in the poor areas of Jiangnan.
There are rumors among households that there are many believers, but they are all scattered. When the previous leader He Yunsheng was privately involved with a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, the previous leader Fang La could not see it, so together with the original "Ba Dao" Liu Dabiao and the Fang brothers
, killed He Yunsheng and replaced him. Li Ruoque, the 'Monkey King' of that generation, therefore left Manichaeism."
Jianghu heroes love to hear these green forest rumors. When An Xifu talks about these past events, You Hongzhuo stares and nods repeatedly.
"Later, Shenggong's Yongle uprising failed, and Sikong Nan and Lin Echan came out to take over the Manichaeism. When the right prime minister in the capital lost power, the secret reconnaissance department was banned. They got the instructions of the Qi family, a wealthy family in Hebei at that time, and moved around
We have called some old officials like the 'Monkey King' Li Ruoque, 'Kuai Jian' Lu Wangyuan, etc., and plan to go north to Bianliang to create a vigorous momentum for the Great Light Sect."
You Hongzhuo laughed: "I know about this, and they were all trampled to death by the cavalry from the southwest."
An Xifu nodded: "At that time, many elites and protectors of the Great Light Sect were trampled to death by cavalry when they went to Zhuxian Town. Not long after that, the man from the southwest killed the emperor with a sword in the Jinluan Palace. Lin Echan was so horrified that he couldn't express it.
For half my life, I no longer dared to show up in front of the man in the southwest. For more than ten years, I have not even thought about revenge. It can be regarded as a delay of cause and effect. And the original Qi family later rebelled against the Jin Kingdom and could not escape in the past few years.
Retribution, involved in a great chaos in the Jin Kingdom, more than half of the Qi family were killed or injured, Qi Yan and his two grandchildren were locked in a water tank, and a fire cooked them alive..."
"Is this happening?" You Hongzhuo thought for a while, "Did Black Flag do it?"
"It's all guessed, but the outside world can't find out. In the Yunzhong tragedy a few years ago, not only the Qi family, but also many powerful people, powerful people, and ordinary people in Yunzhong City were involved, and many people were burned to death.
The person most implicated among them is the traitor Shi Liai’s beloved grandson... Apart from Black Flag, we don’t know what kind of hero can do this kind of thing."
"It's very satisfying... If it is really a hero in the Chinese army who did it, I really want to meet him and thank him in person for his kindness." You Hongzhuo said with his hands in hand, sincerely convinced.
An Xifu narrated the incident in Yunzhong Mansion, which invisibly shortened the distance between him and You Hongzhuo, and then returned to business.
"Those people I mentioned earlier are just clowns in front of the one in the southwest, but if you put them all together, they can be regarded as powerful men who cannot be underestimated. 'Monkey King' Li Ruoque was trampled to death by cavalry back then, but his
His son Li Yanfeng was a prodigy, with martial arts skills and amazing strategies. Now he is entrenched in the Tongshan area and is the local hegemon. He came on behalf of Liu Guangshi, and he naturally has some affinity with the Great Guangming Sect. In this way, he became Liu Guangshi's representative.
The relationship with Xu Zhaonan has become closer."
You Hongzhuo nodded: "In this way, Liu Guangshi is on Xu Zhaonan's side for the time being."
"At present, it seems that there are indeed such clues. At least Li Yanfeng served under Liu Guangshi and accepted the position of protector of the Great Guangming Sect after coming here. However, it is difficult to say whether such contact will have any changes in the future.
...As for the other larger forces, Zou Xu and Dai Mengwei are just like us. They are new here and are still inquiring and contacting all parties. It is not clear whether the little emperor in the southeast has sent anyone, but it is estimated that they are new here.
Hui faction. And the southwest..."
An Xifu tapped the table with his fingers: "If Southwest moves here, it will definitely be a decisive step. No one can ignore the existence of this black flag... However, in the past two years, Mr. Ning's advocacy of opening up does not seem to be true.
He is willing to take sides at will, coupled with the Fairness Party's ambiguous attitude towards the Southwest, it is difficult to say whether his people will come or whether they will show up in public."
"...In addition to these big forces, other parties from three religions and nine streams, such as some small and medium-sized forces with thousands or thousands of people under their command, also came in large numbers this time. The situation in Jiangning is indispensable for the actions of these people.
As far as we know, among the five kings of the Fairness Party, Shi Baofeng, the 'Equality King', has the most connections with small and medium-sized forces. In the past few days, several teams have arrived in Jiangning, coming from outside to support him.
He opened a 'Juxian Pavilion' at the east end of the city, which is quite reminiscent of the ancient Meng Changjun."
An Xifu analyzed the situation in the city one by one. You Hongzhuo nodded when he heard this.
"In this way, it is roughly clear." He said, "It's just that in this situation, I don't know which side we are on. General An called me over... Who do you want me to kill?"
An Xifu smiled and nodded: "When we come here this time, we don't actually intend to take sides in the general direction. After all, Jindi and Jiangnan are far apart. After the news of Jiangning came, the female prime minister had no intention of interfering.
Strongly, it is safest to talk to whomever is in charge anyway, and we agree with this idea. However, Wang Shuai has an old relationship with the Great Light Sect, which Brother You should know."
You Hongzhuo nodded.
"To be honest, Wang Shuai and I are both old Yongle people. Although Shenggong's uprising failed, we still have a few living friends in Jiangnan. Wang Shuai's idea is that considering the future, we can
When you make a move smoothly, you might as well leave some chess pieces behind. After all, in the early years, we were in Yanmen Pass and Taiyuan, where we could not protect ourselves and could not protect others. But now that everyone has returned to Shanxi, we have families and businesses, and we can find some old friends.
Once you find it, you might be able to use it in the future. As for which company to choose to side with, or whether to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, you can see how things develop and talk about it later."
"However, two days ago, something unexpected happened regarding Miao Zheng..."
The accident he mentioned about Miao Zheng was something that You Hongzhuo had been involved in. Liang Siyi on the side lowered his head slightly and said, "This is my fault."
You Hongzhuo looked at the two of them: "Brother Miao, is he doing well now?"
"After the accident the night before yesterday, Miao Zheng immediately left home and sought refuge with the 'King of Yama' Zhou Shang, temporarily saving his life. But yesterday we asked someone to inquire and learned that he had been captured by the 'Seven Killers'
Get up...the one who gave the order is Wei Xuwen, the 'Heavenly Killer' among the Seven Kills."
You Hongzhuo narrowed his eyes: "...the leader of the Seven Killers?"
An Xifu nodded: "According to our inquiries, this 'Heavenly Killer' Wei Xuwen is by no means simple. He is a think tank under the command of 'King Yama'. He has a surly temperament and is ruthless. It is difficult for those who are targeted by him to end well."
Since Miao Zheng has been noticed by him, we estimate that the matter will not be settled easily... This place is too far away from Jin, so it is not easy to summon people. Therefore, when I heard that Brother You was here, I asked Siyi to summon him shamelessly, hoping to do something about it later.
I can take care of you when the time comes."
"But if you have a destiny, you have to do it."
The two sides had not had much direct contact in Jin before, but they had not been together with Wang Juyun's "rebellion masters" on the battlefield once or twice. When An Xifu said this, You Hongzhuo agreed without thinking too much.
But it's extremely natural.
An Xifu smiled and was about to elaborate when he heard someone's footsteps coming from the yard behind, and then knocked on the door.
Naturally, one of An Xifu's subordinates came in from the outside. He looked at the three people in the room. Since he didn't know whether the matter had been settled, he walked over to An Xifu and relayed a message.
This message was not a big secret, so the message was just a pretense. You Hongzhuo was stunned after hearing it, and An Xifu also frowned slightly, and then glanced at You Hongzhuo.
"This fat man... is still so restless..." An Xifu murmured, and then said to You Hongzhuo, "It was Xu Zhaonan, Lin Zongwu was the first to make the move. Lin Zongwu took people to the Five Directions Arena, and was the first to attack.
It’s also Zhou Shang who’s fighting. Brother You, are you interested?”
"The legendary number one in the world, I really want to see him." You Hongzhuo said.
"He may not be the best in the world, but in terms of martial arts, there are indeed not many who can beat him..." An Xifu stood up, "Let's go, let's talk while we walk."
You Hongzhuo and Liang Siyi got up one after another and went out from the dilapidated house. At this time, the sun had dispersed the morning fog, and there were chaotic sounds of people in the distant market. An Xifu walked in front, talking to You Hongzhuo in a low voice.
"I know that Brother You is very skilled in martial arts. He can even defeat Jackdaw Chen Juefang head-on. However, Wei Xuwen and Chen Juefang have different styles. He is good at making others. If the stage is set correctly, the difference between people will be different.
Maybe not big, but in terms of the total number of people, the crowd under the rule of the Jiangnan Fair Party is more than tens of millions. Under the rule of "King Yama", they are divided into "seven killings". The number of people in each branch is extremely large. Since Wei Xuwen
Having the reputation of being a good messenger is definitely not as easy as Chen Juefang's. I hope Brother You will not take it lightly."
"General An reminds me that I will remember it."
You Hongzhuo accepted. He had heard about General An's reputation in the army in the past. On the one hand, he was ruthless at critical moments and could clean up military discipline. He was the most reassuring person to have on the battlefield, but on weekdays, he was
He can take care of both logistics and planning, and he is a first-rate and reliable talent. At this time, he reminded me carefully, and he learned a little bit.
A woman named Liang Siyi walked behind. She kept a straight face from beginning to end, expressionless. It was unclear whether she disliked An Xifu's verbosity or felt guilty about Miao Zheng's matter.
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys towards the direction of the "King of Yama" Five-square Arena. Along the way, people who used to watch the excitement began to gather. You Hongzhuo said with a smile: "After a few days in the city, looking at it, now
All the forces in the city, good or bad, seem to have chosen to attack Zhou and Shang first. This 'King of Yama' is really the target of public criticism. Maybe his power will be divided up before this attack is over."
He remembered that he had a grudge against the Great Guangming Sect, but now he wanted to help fight against Zhou Shang; An Xifu contacted the Yongle family of elders in the Great Guangming Sect, and suddenly the enemy also became Zhou Shang; and the "Wing of the Wheel"
People like Xu Zhaonan, "Great Guangming Cult Leader" Lin Zongwu, "Jackdaw" Chen Juefang, etc. were the first to attack Zhou Shang. This "King of Yama" Zhou Shang had really bad character, which makes it interesting to think about it.
An Xifu shook his head: "It's hard to tell...Although on the surface everyone is shouting for beatings, in fact the number of people in the Zhou Shang family is increasing the fastest. It's hard to judge this matter justly. It can only be regarded as...the badness of people's hearts."
.”
"General An is actually very familiar with this leader Lin, right?"
"We met each other when I was a child, and we have dealt with them several times as adults, and we are already enemies... I am actually the child adopted by Princess Fang Baihua of Yongle. Later, I followed Wang Shuai, and I understand their grievances and resentments better than others.
Some……"
The three of them walked along and chatted about trivial matters of interest. At this time, An Xifu was nearly forty years old. He had been busy all his life. He had a family in his early years, but they were all separated later.
After getting married again, when he mentioned the words "Yongle Princess Fang Baihua", his words were calm, but his eyes wavered slightly, and the figure of the female general in red seemed to appear in the field of vision. At this time, crowds gathered on the street
, twenty years have passed since the thrilling uprising that took place in Jiangnan...
****************
In the square in front of the field of vision, a surging crowd gathered, and various flags and flags were fluttering in the wind above the crowd.
That huge figure has already stepped onto the five-party arena.
The people around were noisy, like boiling water.
"Give me a moment! Give me a moment! Boil the water—boil the water—"
On one side of the square, the inconspicuously dressed young hero Long Aotian was speaking in a weird southwest accent, squeezing his way into the crowd, occasionally looking up at the disorderly crowd, and muttering in his heart.
: "If there's a fight later, a few of them will be trampled to death..."
But in order to join in the fun, I don’t care about that much at the moment. If there is really a chaos, I will run towards people. Anyway, people who come to such a dangerous place to watch the fun are probably not good people. They are desperadoes.
Well, if you are trampled to death, you will be trampled to death. You deserve it...
"Boil the water! Give it a minute! Give it a minute——"
He exerted force on the soles of his feet, spread out his body, and moved forward quickly like a loach. After a while, he finally broke through the crowd and reached the front of the ring. In his ears, he heard several deep voices forced by internal force.
echoed above the heads of the crowd of onlookers.
The most powerful inner force among them made Long Aotian excited. He looked up at the Maitreya Buddha-like figure on the ring and was deeply moved.
Aunt Hong, Aunt Gua, Dad, Uncle Chen... I finally saw this fattest guy in the world. His internal strength is so high...
The leader of the martial arts alliance is not too proud. One of his pursuits in martial arts over the years is to one day unscrew this big fat man's head and play it as a ball. When he finally saw the real leader, he almost burst into tears.
Listening carefully to their words, one could hear people from "King of Yama" Zhou Shang accusing "Great Guangming Cult Leader" Lin Zongwu of being too senior and shouldn't bully the junior ones here. However, Cult Leader Lin said that he was not here to
The bullies just saw them setting up an arena and giving out plaques and titles after three games, so they came over to question whether they were qualified to give out plaques and titles. If it was a competition to recruit a bride, then of course you and I would agree.
, if you say that you can be called a hero after fighting in the ring, then the person behind the ring must have convincing qualifications. Therefore, the big shot who holds the battle for this ring should come out and let everyone weigh it.
These words were beautifully said, and they overwhelmed the noise below, making Long Aotian deeply moved by his internal strength.
Woohoo, you are indeed my lifelong enemy, your internal strength is so high...
"stop fighting--"
He jumped up in front of the crowd and shouted excitedly.
"Listen to my advice!"
"Let's fight——"
Long Aotian's arms were dancing like noodles, and his voice was extremely loud when he said this. Everyone behind him was also affected for a while, and felt that it was extremely reasonable.
"Hit him, hit him—"
"kill him--"
"Oh oh oh——"
"Dead bald head! Dead bald head——"
It was an extremely chaotic shout...
On the stage, the huge figure turned around, slowly scanned the entire arena, and then spoke this way.
"Quiet--"
These two words were accompanied by a strange rhythm, like the Sanskrit sounds of a Buddhist temple. In the blink of an eye, they pushed away like a sea wave, overwhelming the noise in a small half of the venue. For a while, everyone in the front of the venue fell silent involuntarily.
Seeing how terrifying his one-man power was, after a while, a group of people belonging to the Great Light Sect on the other side of the field all knelt down on the ground with tears in their eyes and started to worship.
Bah! What's so great about this...
The figure named Long Aotian was furious. He was looking for stones on the ground, and was about to secretly smash the heads of these people. But after finding the stones, he was worried about the huge crowds in the venue, and made a few vicious gestures in his heart.
