"Tokyo is now a place of right and wrong. Why don't we evacuate as soon as possible?"

Luan Tingyu's heart trembled when she thought that Sun Lei might send someone to assassinate the emperor. In that case, his house would be confiscated and his family would be exterminated.

"Let's go? How do we go now?"

Sun Li looked at Luan Tingyu and asked. He also wanted to stay away from Tokyo. Cai You's sudden recruitment today made him feel terrible. He almost became a pawn in Cai You and Tong Guan's power struggle.

"We will go wherever there is a war. It's not in Tokyo anyway!"

Luan Tingyu said habitually, just like Dulong Mountain back then, when he saw something was wrong, his first thought was to run.

"The only war now is to fight against Daming Mansion. Cai You even invited me today!"

Sun Li looked at Luan Tingyu and said.

"Da Ming Mansion? Then... forget it!"

When Luan Tingyu heard that Daming Mansion immediately ceased its activities, Daming Mansion was also the territory of Liangshan. If they were to fight and Sun Lei was directly involved, then they would really be promoted again.

Liangshan Park.

In Juyi Hall.

"Master Deng, is everything arranged?"

Sun Lei looked at Deng Yuanjue and asked. Deng Yuanjue brought people to help, and Liangshan accepted his love.

"Amitabha, thanks to the time Chief Sun bought for our Ming Cult, the family members, women and children have been evacuated to Lingnan, and they can finally ascend to heaven!"

Deng Yuanjue performed a Buddhist salute and said.

Everyone in the Mingjiao hated Liangshan at first, and they all thought that if Liangshan hadn't intercepted and killed them, they wouldn't have suffered a disastrous defeat.

But later they calmed down and felt relieved. Some things were not as simple as they thought. The Mingjiao was not a match for the imperial army at all, and defeat was doomed.

Although Sun Lei's action brought the Mingjiao uprising to a hasty end, it also allowed the Mingjiao fire to be successfully preserved.

If they really fight to the end, not only the entire Jiangnan will be destroyed, but also all the men, women, old and young of the Ming Cult will probably be buried with them.

“Lingnan is a great place!”

Sun Lei said with a smile, the winter in the north is very cold, but in Lingnan it is like spring all year round. Even in the middle of winter, wearing two clothes is enough.

Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao, and Wang Yin nodded. Although Lingnan has been a place of exile since ancient times, for today's Mingjiao people, it is good to avoid being pursued by the court.

"Let's go, I'll take the three of you to visit Liangshan!"

Sun Lei greeted Deng Yuanjue and the others with a smile.

Sun Lei didn't like to hide his secrets, so he wandered up and down Liangshan Mountain.

"Leader Sun, there are so many warships in Liangshan!"

Wang Yin looked at the rows of warships and asked in surprise. As a person from the south of the Yangtze River, he was no stranger to ships. At a glance, these warships in Liangshanbo were like dragons in the water, capable of turning rivers upside down.

"Brother Wang Yin has a good eye. This is the latest inland warship researched by Liangshan. Although the ship is not big, it is strong and powerful, moves quickly, and is easy to operate. It is most suitable for fighting in rivers and lakes!"

Sun Lei introduced with a smile.

"Rivers and lakes? No sea?"

Shi Bao looked at Sun Lei and asked, "People from Jiangnan are good at water. Jiangnan is close to the sea. They are also very aware of the boundlessness of the sea, but Sun Lei didn't mention the sea just now."

"Haha, brother Shi Bao, this ship is a bit small and cannot travel by sea or land. However, we also have sea ships in Liangshan, and there are many giant ships more than twenty feet tall!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, since it is a navy, sea ships are indispensable.

"Captain Sun leads Liangshan to such an unprecedented event. With such armaments, it's no wonder that my brother was able to defeat the army in succession and destroy the Liao Kingdom in the north!"

Shi Bao sighed, just from the naval armament of Liangshan, we can see the strength of Liangshan's military. The Jiangnan government navy is also powerful, but in front of Liangshan's navy, it is like children playing house.

"Leader Sun, I recently heard that Liangshan is recruiting troops?"

Deng Yuanjue looked at Sun Lei and asked. This matter has been widely spread in the past two days, and there is even more discussion in Liangshan Town.

"Master Deng also heard about it?"

Sun Lei asked with a smile.

"This matter has been widely spread. It's hard not to know about it!"

Deng Yuanjue nodded.

"It seems like someone is behind this matter! It's spreading a bit..."

Wang Yin looked at Sun Lei. This time the recruitment was weird. It came too quickly. The imperial army had just retreated and the news of the recruitment came immediately.

And from the rumors, it can be heard that they are very sincere. Sun Lei was granted the title of king, and the other leaders of the second to ninth ranks were able to grant nearly a thousand people. You must know that the entire Song Dynasty currently has only 40,000 officials. This is the number of central, local and military officials combined.

There are also rumors that Emperor Zhao Ji wants to marry off his most beautiful Princess Yanqing to Sun Lei, and Sun Lei will become the prince and consort.

Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin, and Shi Bao all looked at Sun Lei. They were not sure what Sun Lei was thinking. Subconsciously, they felt that Sun Lei would not accept the recruitment.

But the offer from the imperial court was really generous, and they were really a little unsure.

"Military advisor, have you checked clearly?"

Sun Lei asked Wen Huanzhang beside him with a smile.

"Brother, we have found out. These news came from Tokyo. On the first day of the new year, Zhao Ji had a banquet with hundreds of officials at Jiying Hall. Cai You deliberately mentioned this matter during the banquet. Although Zhao Ji was furious, he did not say anything Duo reprimanded him, after the banquet, Zhao Ji also summoned Cui Jing in the side hall who advocated recruitment."

Wen Huanzhang replied.

"It seems that Zhao Ji acquiesced."

Sun Lei nodded.

"Zhao Ji did not clearly deny it, which is a disguised confirmation. The purpose of not announcing it yet is definitely to test our Liangshan attitude."

"After all, the conditions he offered this time are extremely generous. If he issues the imperial edict first and I don't agree, he will have no place to show off his face."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Zhao Ji is the emperor, and what he cares about most is face. If he is rejected for such a blood-letting recruitment, it will be really humiliating.

"What do you mean, Leader Sun, is the emperor controlling all of this?"

Deng Yuanjue's expression changed. They had not thought of this.

"If not him, who else? If the emperor doesn't acquiesce, who would dare to spread such rumors all over the world? Is it because his life is too long?"

"The current situation is that Zhao Ji did not issue an edict, but Zhao Ji tacitly allowed Cui Jing to promote all this. Once I get the word out, Zhao Ji will immediately issue an edict, tell the world, and crucify this matter."

Sun Lei nodded. Many rumors cannot be spread randomly, but if anything can be spread to everyone, there must be someone behind it, and that person has a lot of energy.

"Chief Sun, three people are like a tiger. I'm afraid it won't be good if we let the rumors continue like this!"

Wang Yin immediately said, if left alone, Sun Lei would be forced to do so even if he didn't want to recruit people. Many people rebelled not on their own initiative, but because of the force of their subordinates. If most people in Liangshan agreed to recruit people, Sun Lei had no choice but to recruit him.

"Don't worry, I already have countermeasures. You will know in a few days."

Sun Lei gave it up with a smile. Of course, the rumors on his side would start to spread when the rumors on Zhao Ji's side spread the most.

However, Sun Lei still took a few glances at Wang Yin's acumen. Without knowing much about Liangshan, Wang Yin could see the lethality of rumors.
