Chapter 374 Ji Shenfu’s invitation
While Helian Haixin was wandering aimlessly in Tiexin Village, Zhao Yuntian, who was sitting here, also received a briefing from the Yinren Presbyterian Church.
Since the beginning of the year, the tall, thin, middle-aged man has been presiding over various matters in Tiexin Village. He originally thought that after more than forty years of lurking career, he could move from behind enemy lines to the front, but what awaited Zhao Yuntian was indeed more complicated matters.
"Master Zhao, judging from the briefing, this alliance will have a big impact on Luoye City!" A mountain patrol team member wearing a light white jumpsuit with a hood said solemnly.
This person was wearing a hood, with the brim of the hat lowered down to cover most of his face. However, if Yi Xifeng and others were here, they would still be able to recognize this person as Teng Snake who was on the mission with them.
"Well, I have heard about Yan Mingbo in Chunfeng Town before. Ten years ago, he had a strong man under his command. He should be a senior executive in Chunfeng Town now. I have fought against him before, and his strength is not bad! But he has never been good at it. The mountains are watertight, which shows that this Yan Mingbo must have great ambitions!" Zhao Yuntian said slowly.
Standing in the Xuanwu Hall was not only Teng Snake, but also a woman also wearing the uniform of a mountain patrol. She had a delicate and cold face, and she should be around 27 or 28 years old. But if anyone mistakenly thinks that a woman is easy to deal with because of her weak appearance, the price paid will most likely be bloody.
"In terms of forbearance, those people in Chunfeng Town won't even accompany you when carrying your shoes!" the woman muttered softly.
Teng Snake on the side joked: "Bai Mei, how come you have learned to flatter?"
This woman is Bai Mei who entered Tiexin Village with Li Xintian and others. To elaborate on her affiliation, she is also a member of Qingzhu's team. The tall man Teng She belongs to the action team of Venomous Bee.
The mountain patrol team has a captain, Li Chengtao, and two squad captains, Qingzhu and Dufeng. Among them, the intelligence team led by Qingzhu is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and strategic deployment, while the action team led by Venomous Bee is mainly responsible for mission execution and tactical combat.
The members of the mountain patrol team are also known by their code names. Among them, the members of the intelligence team are all codenamed after plants, such as green bamboo, cold pine, white plum, etc. The members of the action team are codenamed after animals, such as poisonous bee, eagle, soaring snake, white ape, etc.
Bai Mei glanced at Teng Snake beside her and said calmly: "Tell the truth."
Zhao Yuntian interrupted the conversation between the two with a smile and said: "It is a good thing that Chunfeng Town has formed an alliance with me, Yinren. I heard that Cheng Qian is also involved?"
Teng She nodded and said: "Senior Li was really too terrifying this time! One versus two, he defeated two of the three top masters in Luoye City! I heard that Luoye City has already issued a silence order!"
"The ban will only increase the panic among the soldiers!" Zhao Yuntian said sarcastically.
"But there is no good way. After all, the hard power is there. Even if Ji Shen helps himself up, he may not be able to defeat Senior Li." Bai Mei added.
Zhao Yuntian nodded silently, thinking that if he were in his shoes, unless he ruthlessly silenced all those seven hundred people, there seemed to be no better way besides issuing a silence order.
"It seems that Luoye City will not dare to make any more moves in a short period of time. It seems that Cheng Qian has made a great contribution this time!" The tall and thin middle-aged man muttered with a smile.
At this moment, a warrior dressed in iron armor walked in from outside, cupped his hands outside the Xuanwu Hall and said:
"Sir, the city guard came to report that a strong man discovered something unusual during a routine inspection at the city gate today."
Bai Mei glanced at the other person and recognized the person who had been following her, so she whispered: "Speak!"
The man glanced at Zhao Yuntian who was sitting at the top and Teng She who was sitting next to him, and then said: "Sir, the strong man said that he, he hit a ghost today!"
The woman frowned slightly, then asked the guard Tieyi to explain the whole story in detail, and then let him retreat.
"Disappeared? Young scholar?" Bai Mei muttered softly.
Zhao Yuntian, who was sitting at the top, had been watching the woman's arrangements and did not interfere in the matter. He has been the actual leader of the Tiexin Village Intelligence Team for many years, so he is naturally familiar with many things. He knows that all seemingly unbelievable things actually have reasonable explanations for their existence.
"Bai Mei, what do you think?" He looked at Bai Mei, who was muttering secretly, and asked aloud.
The woman was silent for a breath and said uncertainly: "Since he didn't appear directly in front of us, at least he didn't come to Yinren Town, but...since he asked about the war between Yinren and the Helian family, then from now on Next time, it’s for us.”
Zhao Yuntian nodded and responded: "There are many strange people and masters in this world! As for whether this person is an enemy or a friend? It has not been decided yet, just..." At this point, the tall and thin middle-aged man paused but did not continue.
Then he waved his hand and told Teng She and Bai Mei in the hall to go about their own affairs.
What Zhao Yuntian didn't finish was his own plan, and he had been preparing for this for the past six months. Since Tiexin Village was merged into Yinren, he has not returned to Yinren for a day and has been busy with many matters here.
At this time, he dismissed Bai Mei and Teng Snake, and started writing on the desk:
General, the alliance between Chunfeng Town has completely stabilized the current situation. With the current development of all forces in Luoye County, the rise of Yinren has become inevitable. Presumably you also need to start working on your next step. Yuntian dare not say too much, he can only do his best! However, the old minister still has something that has been lingering in his mind for many days, and he still needs to tell the general. Be careful with the Ji family!
…………Dividing line…………
Yi Xifeng was living in pain and happiness these days. In addition to the previous physical training, he spent most of the evening studying boxing techniques with Li Chengqian in the open space of the deciduous forest in the north.
In the afternoon, she was supposed to be sparring with Lu Huahua, but due to mission arrangements, the short-haired girl went out on missions these days, so the fair boy was alone in the deciduous forest to learn the swordsmanship.
Yi Xifeng summarized all the sword skills he had learned in the past five years.
From the very beginning of learning the Thirteen Wind-Chasing Swords with Li Chengtao, to later creating his own "Thousand Miles of Rivers" and "Eight Directions Sword Curtain", to having an epiphany at the bottom of a pond when participating in a martial arts competition, and then improving in battles, the most critical thing is Then I will follow Captain Qingzhu in this deciduous forest and learn the Seven Swords of Qingming!
All these fateful encounters have made him a leader in swordsmanship among his peers, but there is one thing that remains unchanged: the unshakable three thousand swings of the sword every morning!
Although the speed has been reduced from one hour before to about half an hour now, each of these three thousand swords is an explosion of his energy and energy concentrated at one point!
The fair boy looked at the path in front of him, and he was still extremely shocked to this day! Yi Xifeng could finally feel a trace of the sword intent in it!
Yes, this path was cut out by the senior Ou Yezi who called himself "Lao Yezi" that day with a branch in his hand.
If Professor Qingzhu's "Seven Swords of Qingming" determined Yi Xifeng to follow his own path of swordsmanship, then Ou Yezi's sword pointed the way forward for him!
However, this mysterious old man did not teach the young man any skills or sword skills. He just showed his hand and left his sword intention on this path.
Yi Xifeng once brought Li Chengtao and Li Chengqian here, and when they saw this trail, they also sighed!
Sure enough, there are many hidden masters in the world, but Ou Yezi's strength is definitely above the level of a hero!
For this evaluation, the fair boy was surprised but also found it reasonable. Unfortunately, there were dense woods around this trail. After more than half a year of growth, the original trail became narrower and narrower, and the sword intent left on it became thinner and thinner. . Presumably next spring, when everything revives, the only ray of sword intent left here will be gone.
Yi Xifeng looked at the Sword Intent trail in front of him, and seemed to see Lao Yezi's rat-like face, and said in a swish voice: I kept the Sword Intent for one year! As for how much you can understand, it depends on your own destiny.
…
Just when Yi Xifeng was constantly comprehending the sword's intention in the sword's intention path, a letter sealed with fire paint was delivered to the Yinren Town Presbyterian Church.
"General, this letter is from Luoye City." Zhao Yunming sniffed the letter handed over by the servant and handed it to Lin Hengshan.
At this time, there were only two of them in the third hall. The first elder Lin Dongyue, the second elder Li Yunbo, and the third elder Qi Chunhui were not present.
Lin Hengshan opened the paint and read the letter inside. The content of the letter was very short.
The head of the Lin family said personally:
I, Ji Shenfu, specially invite the head of the Lin family, Hengshan, to personally approve it. My brother was a noble man, but he had no choice but to become a county citizen. Ji really didn't know the truth. There are wars raging in the county today, and people are devastated. As the governor of the county, I really can't bear it. I am willing to restore old friendship with my brother and cede territory for the government! I am willing to work with my brother to cure the fallen leaves!
My younger brother, Ji Shi Shen Fu, is here to greet you!
The old man smiled calmly and handed the letter to Zhao Yunming. The middle-aged man took it and glanced at it, frowning and said: "Treat fallen leaves together? This Ji Shen's posture is low enough!"
"Yes, it's so low that I'm embarrassed to refuse!" Lin Hengshan said lightly.
"There is also an invitation in this envelope." Zhao Yunming took out the invitation from the envelope and said after a moment: "In the spring of next year, Ji Shenfu invites us to attend the Yunxi Day banquet."
Cloud Rest Day is the most important festival in Luo Yun Kingdom. Unfortunately, Yinren Village or Yinren Town is the only force in the entire Luo Yun Kingdom that is stronger than Yun Xiri.
The main reason is that Yunxi Day is the founding day of Luo Yun Kingdom, and for Yinren, the orphan of the previous dynasty, it is tantamount to the day of the country's destruction. Moreover, the word "Yunxiao" also means to obtain the breath of Yunxiao. As the former young master of the Yunxiao Army, Lin Hengshan would naturally not agree to celebrate this festival!
Fortunately, Yinren Village also has its own festival, which is the Mountain Opening Festival, which is only a few days away from the Cloud Rest Day.
"Haha, as expected, there is no such thing as a good feast! However, I still have to go." Lin Hengshan stroked his short beard on his chin and said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Zhao Yunming said no more and went down to help people make arrangements. Of course, multiple sources of intelligence will focus on this matter in the near future. He knew Lin Hengshan's character and admired his abilities even more. Since he had already reminded him of what he needed to remind, all that was left was to do his part.
Watching the tall, thin middle-aged man leave, Lin Hengshan smiled and took out a piece of letter paper from his arms. It was the letter that Zhao Yuntian wrote in Tiexin Village some time ago.
"The Zhao brothers are indeed thoughtful, but in terms of courage, they are still not as good as the second brother and the second brother. Haha, one versus two, tsk tsk, it's really the demeanor of Yun Bo back then! It's just that he has reached middle age, Still so out of touch... Haha, I'm still more optimistic about Chengtao!"
Lin Hengshan looked at the letter in his hand and muttered to himself.
…
After Zhao Yunming came out of the Presbyterian Church, his face became a little ugly. He believed that if he could see things clearly, the general would naturally understand them better, but he still didn't understand why Lin Hengshan was so anxious? He knew clearly that Ji Shen Fu Ding had a plot, but he took risks to do it. What was he trying to do?
According to Zhao Yunming's plan, Yinren Town's alliance with Chunfeng Town is a foregone conclusion, and its rise is inevitable. The next sure way is to form an alliance with more forces and then surround Luoye City in advance.
In the end, he overthrew his rule. As for whether to replace it or divide and rule like the countries in the Western Regions, we have to see the actual situation at that time.
According to this plan, Zhao Yunming is confident that within ten years, Yinren Town will definitely become an independent county and resist Luo Yunguo's separate court within twenty years.
…
Luoye City, Fuyunju.
A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar was actually reading a book next to the case.
The cover of this book looks very old, and it looks like it has been around for a while. The book is called "Comments on the Prajna Water Sutra" and it is a miscellaneous Buddhist book.
He ignored the kneeling soldiers in black armor.
After another cup of tea, the middle-aged scholar put down the book in his hand and asked calmly:
"You said that the Holy One sent people from the Helian family to investigate this matter?"
The black-armored soldier did not dare to raise his head and responded in a deep voice: "Sir, yes!"
"Then what do you say?"
"The empress said that this matter is not just a matter of Luoye County. It involves a very big matter and there are many factions. Your Excellency..."
"Say!" the scholar shouted coldly.
"Let me deal with it properly, sir!" the man in black armor said tremblingly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged scholar nodded, picked up the Shui Jing Zhu on the desk, looked at it, and asked again and again:
"May I have your name?"
The black-armored soldier was a little flattered and quickly replied: "Young man, Wang Guixian! He belongs to Hu Qingzheng, under the command of General Hu."
The scholar nodded and continued to ask: "Have you ever married a wife and have a family?"
The man replied doubtfully: "Well, there is only an old mother in the family. She is in poor health and has no wife or daughter."
"good!"
Just when the black-armored soldier was a little confused as to why the Lord Commander would ask himself these questions and why he said "yes" for no reason, a sharp sword suddenly passed by!
The black-armored soldier felt like the world was spinning, and the next moment he lost consciousness.
Such a big head rolled down like this, and the one kneeling in the hall was left with only a cavity!
Because the man was leaning over and sitting in a kneeling position, the blood in his chest spurted out immediately, and even the table a few feet away was spattered with blood.
The most dazzling thing among them is the little blood stain on the paper of "Prajna Water Sutra", which spreads quickly on the rice paper, like a plum blossom.
The middle-aged man turned a blind eye and gently turned over the bloody page.
