Several people in mainland China looked at Linghu Chong in astonishment. They didn't know about Yue Buqun's attachment to the imperial court. It could be said that Yue Buqun became the commander of the Jinyi Guards. The Huashan Sect only had Ning Zhongze, Linghu Chong, and Feng.
Qingyang, at most, would be known by another Yue Lingshan.
Therefore, in the hearts of the disciples of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun is still their leader. Ning Zhong had previously whispered to Linghu Chong, and several people in the mainland had heard it.
They couldn't understand why Yue Buqun might have sent people to send these things, but Linghu Chong refused to accept them?
Linghu Chong waved his hand and said to the steward: "We at Huashan Sect cannot accept these things, so I would like to ask the steward to take them away."
Seeing Linghu Chong's determined look, the steward nodded slightly and said, "So, Head Linghu has made a decision. Do you really want to take all these supplies away?"
After taking a look at the supplies, Linghu Chong took a deep breath and nodded: "Not bad, I'd like to thank you for your trouble!"
Watching the steward leading a group of people slowly bringing a large amount of supplies down the mountain, many Huashan Sect disciples showed a bit of disappointment, Linghu Chong dismissed the Huashan Sect disciples.
Fortunately, except for a few people from Lu Da, the disciples didn't know that there weren't many supplies in the Huashan Sect's warehouse, so everyone was just a little disappointed when they saw the supplies, but it was nothing.
Returning to the hall, Lu Dayou couldn't help but said to Linghu Chong: "Brother, head master, you know that there are not many supplies in the warehouse. Since there are supplies sent to the mountain, why don't you accept them?"
Linghu Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and looked at Lu Dayou. Linghu Chong didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
After all, it was related to Yue Buqun, and he couldn't tell Lu Dayou about Yue Buqun's defection to the imperial court. He could only wave his hand and said: "Dayou, there is something hidden in this. Don't you still believe in my wife and my brother?"
me?"
Lu Dayou looked at Linghu Chong, then at Ning Zhongze, who was sitting there with a silent expression on his face, nodded slightly and said, "Of course I believe in senior brother and senior wife."
With a slight sigh, Linghu Chong went to Lu Dayou and said, "Dayou, take the people down the mountain with some silver and find a way to buy a batch of supplies up the mountain. Don't cut off the supply on the mountain."
Although he didn't understand what Linghu Chong and Ning Zhongze were doing, Lu Dayou was loyal to the Huashan sect. He nodded to Linghu Chong and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will go down to buy it myself."
supplies, and then personally escort them up the mountain."
He patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder and watched Lu Dayou and several disciples leave. Only Feng Qingyang and Ning Zhong were left in the hall.
Ning Zhongze's face was a little pale. As the saying goes, Yue Buqun sent people up the mountain to deliver supplies, which naturally made Ning Zhongze miss Yue Buqun. It would be strange if Ning Zhongze didn't react at all.
Nodding towards Feng Qingyang, Ning Zhong stood up and said: "Uncle Feng, Chong'er, I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."
After seeing Ning Zhongze off respectfully, Linghu Chong sat down and said to Feng Qingyang with a tired look on his face: "Master Feng, this leader is really too tired..."
Staring at Linghu Chong, Feng Qingyang said: "Boy Linghu, no matter how tired you are, you have to support me. You should also see for yourself, besides you, who else can do this in this huge Huashan Sect?"
Have you achieved this position of master, or do you want to return the position of master to your master who surrendered to the imperial court and was willing to serve as a hawk for the imperial court?"
Linghu Chong shook his head and said: "If the master can cut off the relationship with the imperial court and be willing to return from his lost ways, I can return the position of head to the master..."
Feng Qingyang sneered and said: "If Yue Buqun was willing to give up his glory and wealth, he would not have abandoned his wife and daughter before, abandoning the Huashan Sect and going down the mountain."
Sighing softly, Linghu Chong looked at Feng Qingyang with a bitter look on his face and said: "Uncle Feng, you don't know something. There are not many supplies on the mountain. The supplies in the warehouse can last for a few days at most. Otherwise, there will only be enough supplies on the mountain."
I’m afraid I’m going to run out of food!”
When Feng Qingyang heard this, he said matter-of-factly: "If the supplies are gone, let people go down the mountain to buy them. Didn't you just ask Lu Dayou to take people down the mountain?"
Linghu Chong sighed: "I asked Dayou to take people down the mountain. The savings on Key Mountain are only enough for two months. If we don't find a way to obtain stable financial resources, it will take two months at most. Huashan will send hundreds of people by then.
I want to eat the wind and drink the dew."
Feng Qingyang opened his eyes wide and said, "How is it possible? Doesn't the Huashan sect have any wealth at all?"
Obviously Feng Qingyang was shocked by Linghu Chong's words. In Feng Qingyang's view, such trivial matters were not what they had to consider at all. If they lacked any supplies, they could just send people to prepare them.
As a result, Linghu Chong actually said that the Huashan Sect had run out of supplies and didn't even have much money. When had he ever dealt with money in his life?
Linghu Chong shook his head and said: "Master's wife said before that the Huashan sect has never been rich in these years. It relied on the master to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, and it was difficult to raise money to survive. Over the years, the Huashan sect has only had a few dozen people.
, It’s not that Master and Mistress don’t want to recruit disciples, it’s just that the sect doesn’t have enough supplies to support so many disciples.”
Feng Qingyang said in astonishment: "So, we still need to find ways to find financial resources, otherwise, the Huashan Sect disciples will not even be able to eat?"
Linghu Chong nodded.
Feng Qingyang couldn't help scratching his head, frowning and said: "Why is it so troublesome? I have never been so sad in my life!"
If Linghu Chong had a way to solve the problem, he wouldn't look at Feng Qingyang expectantly.
Not to mention Feng Qingyang, as someone who has lived in the back mountains of Huashan sect for most of his life, it is really difficult for him to think of ways to find financial resources.
In the town at the foot of Huashan Mountain.
In a large courtyard, Yue Buqun was sitting there in a bullfight uniform. Soon he heard the sound of footsteps and saw Zheng Hu, the official of the 100th household of Jin Yiwei, walking over with one person and saluting Yue Buqun: "See you there."
More than an adult."
Yue Buqun nodded towards Zheng Hu and his eyes fell on the steward. The steward bowed to Yue Buqun and said, "My subordinate Cheng Ran has met Mr. Qianhu."
It turns out that this steward is also a subordinate of Jin Yiwei.
Yue Buqun looked at Cheng Ran and said, "Cheng Ran, how was the situation going up the mountain this time? Did they collect the supplies?"
Cheng Ran naturally knew Yue Buqun's identity. He shook his head after hearing this and said, "Reporting to your lord, my subordinates personally led people up the mountain. As a result, your disciples refused to accept it and ordered my subordinates to bring all the supplies down the mountain."
Nodding, Yue Buqun looked calm and said without any surprise: "It would be strange if they accepted it, but I am very curious. The supplies and even the money on the mountain can support them for up to two months."
Time, after two months, how will they live."
Zheng Hu and Cheng Ran listened to Yue Buqun's words, but they did not dare to answer randomly and just stood there quietly.
After pondering for a while, Yue Buqun raised his head, glanced at Cheng Ran and said, "Cheng Ran, I've worked hard for you this time. You can go down first."
Yue Buqun and Zheng Hu were left in the hall.
Zheng Hu glanced at Yue Buqun and whispered: "Sir, your disciple and Feng Qingyang are not qualified to be the masters of a sect at all. I really don't know what method they will come up with to raise supplies.
"
Stroking his beard, Yue Buqun said calmly: "Yes, I want to see how my good uncle and his good disciples can feed the hundreds of mouths in the Huashan Sect!"
On a large ship, Chu Yi was wearing a large cloak and standing beside the ship with his hands behind his back. The ship slowly set off.
A figure walked up to Chu Yi and said: "Master Governor, it's windy outside, why don't you go back to the cabin and rest!"
Chu Yi glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said, "Dongchang, is there any news from the Jinyi Guards?"
Cao Shaoqin frowned and said: "In the land of Jiangnan, many Jinyiwei have noticed that many wealthy families in Jiangnan are secretly mobilizing grain and fodder for Nanchang. There are even Jinyiwei spies who have spread the news that a large number of craftsmen have gathered in several mines in Jiangnan and are continuously building...
Weapons, armor and the like.”
If ordinary people heard such news, they would be extremely shocked.
Chu Yi had a calm look on his face, nodded slightly and said: "It seems that Prince Ning is really restless!"
Cao Shaoqin looked at Chu Yi with great admiration and said: "The governor is very good at knowing things. Back then, King Ning bribed Liu Jin to get permission from the court to increase the number of guards in the mansion. At that time, the governor knew that King Ning had disobedient intentions. Today,
At first glance, it is exactly as the governor expected."
Chu Yi just smiled slightly. Prince Ning rebelled, which was a hurdle that Zhengde could not get around.
King Ning's lineage has been preparing for hundreds of years, both secretly and overtly. It can be said that they have long been disobedient. Even if King Ning Zhu Chenhao does not raise troops, he will still raise troops for King Ning who will succeed him in the future. This hidden danger was actually revealed when Zhu Di became the ancestor.
It was already buried.
Following Chu Yi towards the cabin, Cao Shaoqin whispered: "Supervisor, King Ning has the intention of treason and has even begun to make various preparations. Should we inform the emperor of tomorrow and send an army to general King Ning...
…”
Chu Yi waved his hand, shook his head and said: "No rush, no rush, it's rare that Prince Ning is willing to take the lead. If Prince Ning is not given a chance to rebel, wouldn't it seem that this governor is too unkind!"
Cao Shaoqin had a look of confusion on his face. In his opinion, since he already knew that King Ning would rebel, it was only right to capture King Ning as soon as possible. Otherwise, once King Ning raised his army, the whole world would be in an uproar, especially
We're in the south of the Yangtze River, and I really don't know what kind of trouble this might cause.
"Governor, Prince Ning's fiefdom is close to Jiangnan. I don't know how many people in Jiangnan hate the governor and even the imperial court. The big families in Jiangnan secretly support Prince Ning because of their attitude. I'm afraid that Jiangnan will be in ruins."
A cold look flashed in his eyes, Chu Yi knocked on the coffee table and sneered: "This governor has been conniving with Prince Ning for so long, secretly and openly, and even helped him create opportunities. If he didn't help this governor, he would kill the disloyal wealthy people in Jiangnan.
If we attract them one by one, wouldn’t it mean that all the good intentions of this Governor have been wasted?”
"ah!"
Cao Shaoqin looked at Chu Yi in shock and said, "Master Governor, you...are you deliberately conniving with King Ning and using him to kill all the people in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Chu Yi sneered and said: "Even the governor can't kill someone without any basis. It's just one family or two. If it's more, even your majesty can't suppress these people."
Cao Shaoqin narrowed his eyes and said with excitement: "So, Lord Governor, you deliberately indulged Prince Ning and let him break the monolithic situation in Jiangnan."
Chu Yi nodded and said: "Jiangnan has been at peace for a long time. Many wealthy families, gentry, and powerful people have intertwined a large and airtight net to cover the land of Jiangnan. This big net cannot be broken by anyone in peacetime.
Only after a great chaos can Jiangnan be reorganized."
Although he was extremely excited, Cao Shaoqin was a little worried and said: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid that the huge Jiangnan will be turbulent by then. If you are not careful, you may even breed tigers. What if King Ning borrows the power of Jiangnan?"
, if we seize the land south of the Yangtze River and confront the imperial court across the river..."
Chu Yi couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "It's not that I look down on King Ning, even if King Ning is really a man of great talent and strategy, although I dare not say that this situation is caused by me,
But he is also well aware of Prince Ning's actions. If Prince Ning is still upset under such circumstances, it can only be said to be God's will."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Cao Shaoqin felt much relieved.
After following Chu Yi for so many years, Cao Shaoqin has never seen Chu Yi make any miscalculations. Since King Ning is in control of every move, then King Ning is a chess piece of Chu Yi, as a chess piece.
If you want to overturn the chessboard, you can only do what Chu Yi said, God favors you.
Chu Yi casually flipped through the various messages transmitted through Jinyiwei's intelligence system.
Compared with Jinyiwei, Dongchang's intelligence system is obviously inferior. After all, Jinyiwei has been rooted in the huge land of Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, monitoring every inch of Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps in the capital, Dongchang's intelligence can surpass that of Jinyiwei, but outside the capital, Dongchang's power cannot be compared with that of Jinyiwei.
The secret memorandum contained in this letter involves every aspect of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that as long as you have a good grasp of the intelligence network of Jinyiwei, you will still have a good understanding of the general trend of the world even if you are in the palace.
This point only needs to be seen by the fact that Emperor Wanli lived in the palace for decades and did not even hold a few court meetings. However, he firmly controlled the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the Jin Yiwei definitely took the greatest credit.
His eyes fell on a secret memorial in his hand. Chu Yi looked at the contents of the secret memorial and couldn't help but reveal an inexplicable smile and said: "The change of ownership of the Huashan Sect is quite interesting."
Chu Yi did not restrain himself deliberately. Cao Shaoqin, who was standing aside, could naturally hear clearly. He heard Cao Shaoqin curiously say: "The Huashan Sect has changed owners? If I remember correctly, the leader of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, has defected to the governor.
Have you been appointed by the Governor as the Imperial Guard Qianhu?"
[No nonsense, code words, code words, if you have a monthly pass, remember to smash it.]
