"Sir, I took people outside and caught a few suspicious people. After interrogating them, I found that they were sent by Xing Dalin. Xing Dalin asked them to keep an eye on you, sir."
In the evening, a young man with an ordinary face and a strong build came to Ye Mingsheng and said in a deep voice:
This person is the talent Ye Mingsheng hired from Huo Xiaoli - Huo San!
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng fell into a brief thought.
Although it is a bit unexpected, it makes sense when you think about it carefully.
Judging from the reaction at today's birthday banquet, Xing Dalin obviously hates himself to the core, and most likely wants to take this opportunity to kill him...
"Sir, I dug out Xing Dalin's location from among these people. He is at Lu'an Inn. Do you want me to take someone with me to attack Xing Dalin first?"
Looking at Ye Mingsheng who was thinking, Huo San's eyes flashed with a ruthless look, and he suggested:
He had just joined Ye Mingsheng's staff, and he was eager to make some achievements, thereby establishing his own position and being reused by Ye Mingsheng.
Ye Mingsheng glanced at Huo San when he heard this, then shook his head and said:
"Be prepared for Xing Dalin's attack, and spare his life for the time being!"
Although Ye Mingsheng has never taken Xing Dalin, Song Wenhui's loyal dog, seriously, Xing Dalin is also a hidden danger. Under normal circumstances, if Ye Mingsheng had the chance, he would be happy to nip it in the bud. he.
But it is a pity that today is different from the past. Ye Mingsheng still needs to use Xing Dalin's hatred for himself so that he can go back and report to Song Wenhui in a more jealous manner, thus instigating the relationship between the Cui family and Song Wenhui.
Therefore, at least for now, Xing Dalin cannot die!
Huo San, who originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off his strength, looked slightly disappointed when he heard Ye Mingsheng's order. However, since Ye Mingsheng had already made a decision, he was still very obedient and had no other opinions.
Taking in Huo San's expression, Ye Mingsheng continued to ask:
"Is there any news about the situation at the Black Dragon Club?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng ask about this, Huo San frowned slightly, hesitated and said, "Tell me, sir, I have obtained some news about the Black Dragon Society through some channels in the past few days, but there is no sign that the Black Dragon Society plans to Attacking your lord············”
After hearing this answer from Huo San, Ye Mingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, with some doubts in his eyes.
Since the last time he got the Black Dragon Society's second-in-command, Takahide Kobayakawa, from Qi Qige and wanted to kill him, Ye Mingsheng strengthened his own defenses and immediately asked Huo San to collect information.
Ye Mingsheng is still very aware of Huo San's abilities. Because of Huo Xiaoli's relationship, Huo San has extensive connections in all three religions, so this time, Ye Mingsheng also has high hopes for him.
But now this result makes Ye Mingsheng a little confused...
Should he believe Qiqige, who came on behalf of An Miaoyi, or should he believe Huo San?
Logically speaking, Huo San, who has been living in Liaoyang for more than ten years, is obviously more trustworthy than An Miaoyi, who is in the boudoir of the An family...
Although this is the truth, after learning from Huo Xiaoli that night that Kobayakawa Takahide and Zhen Sanshan were very close, Ye Mingsheng became very vigilant and wary of the ruthless Japanese enchantress at the center of the rumors!
He is about to go to Toyosu and visit Sanshan for a while. Kobayakawa Takahide has a reason to deal with him!
After thinking about it again, Ye Mingsheng asked Huo San: "Where are Ye Tie, Lin Huaiwu, Yuan Song and the others now?"
Huo San replied without hesitation:
"According to the plan, after Yuan Song and Lin Huaiwu annihilated Wang Laogangzi's troops, they had already suppressed the thousands of prisoners and withdrew towards Fengshan County. Only Master Ye Tie's troops stayed in Erlang Mountain, preparing to fight with you! "
Hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng showed a look of satisfaction. In order to guard against possible sneak attacks by the Black Dragon Society, he specially left Ye Tie as a battalion to guard him. With these two thousand men and horses as guards, he really didn't believe that the Black Dragon Society could What waves are coming out!
According to the news sent by Bai Renxuan some time ago, Chen Dechang and Wang Mu's people will arrive in Liaoyang in three days after finishing their trivial matters.
The three thousand bandits captured from Wang Laogangzi were a gift from Ye Mingsheng to them!
According to the original plan, Chen Dechang assigned Ye Mingsheng the task of recruiting 10,000 troops, but he only gave Ye Mingsheng three battalions, which was a strength of 6,000 troops.
This also means that Ye Mingsheng needs to hand over 4,000 recruits to Chen Dechang!
Judging from what he and Bai Renxuan said, Ye Mingsheng knew that Chen Dechang wanted to use this to get him in touch with the Cui family. In fact, Ye Mingsheng originally planned to seek help from the Cui family and recruit 10,000 troops. .
But plans are plans and reality is reality!
As Ye Mingsheng returned to Liaoyang and learned more information through various channels, he realized that although the Cui family had many rifts with Song Wenhui, they still planned to continue to support Song Wenhui for the time being.
Based on this point of view, Ye Mingsheng gave up the possibility of getting help from the Cui family. After all, with the current level of tension in Liaoyang, the Cui family recruiting troops for themselves would be tantamount to betraying Song Wenhui. This is not in line with the Cui family's general policy of continuing to support Song Wenhui!
Therefore, even if Ye Mingsheng puts down his face and asks the Cui family, he will definitely get a rejection!
In this case, it is better to be more realistic, and Ye Mingsheng gave up the Cui family's option.
Therefore, the question before Ye Mingsheng is how to recruit the remaining thousands of recruits?
Although An Zhirong promised to help recruit 10,000 people, Ye Mingsheng did not intend to let him help!
After returning to Liaoyang, Ye Mingsheng already understood that the reason why An Zhirong was confident and agreed to help him recruit 10,000 people was entirely because the business under An Zhirong in Liaoyang was inextricably linked to these bandits. connect.
Recruiting 10,000 new soldiers is actually accepting the recruitment of these bandits. Not only is An Zhirong's help, there is also a prerequisite, that is, these people he helped recruit cannot be given to Chen Dechang and can only stay under Ye Mingsheng's command. !
This was unacceptable to Ye Mingsheng. He knew very well that An Zhirong was definitely doing this with ulterior motives and bad intentions, so he flatly rejected An Zhirong's help and chose to find a solution on his own.
And now with the bandits captured from Wang Laogangzi, Ye Mingsheng can finally serve Chen Dechang!
Although it is about a thousand people less than the planned four thousand people, Ye Mingsheng believes that Chen Dechang will accept it. After all, this is Liaoyang. There is no doubt that Ye Mingsheng now has more chips and say!
