As various rumors spread in Yangzhou, the situation in Shangyong became tense day by day, and Yonghou's condition became more and more serious. Even the savages outside the city were keenly aware of the difference in the current situation. They entered the city less and less often. It is also shorter, and some villages have even rebuilt their fences to face the pedestrians coming and going vigilantly.
Wu Sheng put a batch of spiritual materials collected from Fangshi into the storage ring and let out a long sigh of relief. At this point, the storage compartments in the thumb have been filled up, and there is no extra space. Among them are 160 yi gold, hundreds of kilograms of high-quality spiritual materials, more than 30 medium-grade or above magic weapons, and various spiritual elixirs. Hundreds of bottles, and of course the most important watch tables and elixir prescriptions.
The things were all good, and if they were put out for valuation, he was a wealthy man, and with this property in hand, even if the situation got out of control and he had to flee again, he would be confident and would never mess up.
The only pity is that the land of Nanchu is too remote. I want to acquire several magic circles, but I have never been able to do so. Although he had been paying attention in the market, the magic arrays that were put up for auction twice were actually the Meridian Seven Stars Array, and the prices were extremely high. They both sold for forty gold, which made him helpless.
As for the protective formations at the palace gate, the residences of the two young masters, and the residences of several important ministers, he did not find a chance to visualize them. Under the current situation, it was very conspicuous when going out. If he stopped in front of other people's residences, he would probably cause trouble immediately. Something goes wrong.
His belongings have been sorted out and he can leave at any time, but he will never leave Shangyong until the last moment. After operating here for more than half a year, Yongrentang has established a firm foothold, all aspects of the relationship are in place, and all channels are open. It is the rising period of the business, so I am really unwilling to leave like this.
Therefore, the most important thing at hand is to help the young master Qingyu succeed in seizing the title. As long as Qingyu ascends the throne of Yonghou, his development in Shangyong City and even the Four Kingdoms will inevitably reach a new level.
Now all we have to do is wait for news from Yangzhou. If Yangzhou Yin recommends Qingyu to Yingdu, then all problems will be solved. If not, what follows will be a life and death battle.
The preparations for the upper class to seize the throne were planned by Prince Qingyu, Sima Yuanzirang, Siwei Yipu, and Men Yinyongji. Due to their status, Wu Sheng could not get involved for the time being, but in private, his efforts were considerable. . Through Dong Da and Yongrentang, they are silently digging up the foundation of the Young Masters' Double Party, influencing the perception of the people of the country, and quietly instigating the rebellion of the subordinates of various ministers and officials.
Therefore, on the day when the situation in the city was the most serious, he still insisted on opening the door for consultation.
This was the fifth day after the Master Dongsun left. In the afternoon of this day, some disciples in pairs suddenly gathered together, attacked the temple, and confronted the temple officials for a long time, until Yin Yongji personally led the disciples to rush to support him. , dozens of people on the other side slowly dispersed.
In the afternoon of this day, a large-scale fight broke out between Chengshuang's disciples and Qingyu's disciples. The fight broke out in a street not far from Qingyu's residence. Both sides injured several people and destroyed several houses.
And in the evening, two corporals from Sikongmen appeared outside Yongren Hall smelling of alcohol. When they wanted to force their way into Yongren Hall, they were stopped by Yong Zhi, who had been guarding the door.
One of them pointed his finger straight and laughed loudly: "Dalang Zhi, I recognize you. Aren't you a corporal of the old clan? Now you have changed your clan?"
Another person sneered: "Do you know how to write the word loyalty and righteousness?"
"I just don't know, as an old disciple of the country, serving Qingyu's disciples, can you still be called a scholar?"
"I'm so ashamed to be in the same company as you!"
"You still dare to draw your sword? Do you think that if Guo Lao's disciples are number one, they will be number one in Shangyong City? Get out of the way quickly, or I will kill you today!"
Just as he was talking, a sword light flashed across, and what fell with the sword light was a floating square scarf and a bloody ear.
"Ah——" A scream sounded, and the doorman who was missing an ear fell back repeatedly, leaning against the wall opposite, covering his broken ear and shouting.
Another doorman hurriedly pulled out a short ax and held it in front of him, staring at Yong Zhi in horror, his legs trembling.
Yong Zhi said slowly: "Don't disturb Alchemist Shen."
This inexplicable fight immediately alarmed the entire Beifang Sanjia. Under the leadership of Fangjia, every household dispatched men, ranging from fifty to fourteen, and more than thirty men each armed with soldiers. Blade, spontaneously blocked the street where Yongrentang is located.
The women boiled water for cooking, the children inquired and passed on news, and the old people rushed to contact relatives and friends to encourage neighbors to join.
The practice of medicine in Yongrentang not only benefits the top three, but also the surrounding top, second, fourth, fifth, and six tops also gather strong men, led by the leader of the first, and rush to the top three to help.
This is a mediocre person, a mediocre person who once challenged the Chu State head-on and even dared to attack the Chu army. Even if the country is now small and weak, even if the country has moved to Chu, the tradition of thirty years ago is still followed. The people of the country are martial and strong. Weapons are kept at home, no matter men, women, old or young, if something happens, everyone will be a soldier!
Nine squares in the city and half of the northern square were in alarm. With such a big commotion, the old man couldn't sit still and rushed here with his disciples.
The old man was in charge of the affairs of the people, and the people did not dare to stop him, so they had no choice but to let him go straight to Yongrentang. When I arrived at Deyongren Hall, I saw several armor commanders in full military uniforms, and I couldn't help but frown.
Chief Xunjia of the local top three took the lead and bowed his hands to the old man: "I have seen the mediocre old man, please forgive me for being in military uniform and unable to kowtow."
The old man sighed: "Xunzhong, what are you doing?"
Xun Jia said: "Someone is trying to assassinate Master Shen today. We and the neighbors are here to protect them."
Mr. Guo said: "I have heard at this time that it was just a drunken gaffe. Don't be alarmed...but Mr. Zhi..." After saying that, he looked at the silent Yong Zhi at the corner in front of the door: "Zhong Sima asked me , said you hurt his retainer, what do you think should be done?"
Yong Zhi was silent. He was a guest of the old man. If the old man wanted to take responsibility, he could only accept it.
The old man stared at him and said: "I will explain this to Sima. If you cut off one of his ears, you should give him one in return. I have been thinking of you for many years in my family. I will plead for you and just pay three gold in compensation. Go and raise the money." Money!"
Yong Zhi prostrated: "When this matter is over, I will apologize to the elder Guo. However, in this critical moment, I still need to take care of Yongrentang. I can't leave. Please ask the elder Guo for permission."
Yongyi, a retainer behind the old man, called out: "Master Zhi, your family has received so much kindness from the old man in vain. Now you are an outsider and you are violating the old man's orders. Do you know how to write the word "loyalty and righteousness"?
Just as he was talking, Wu Sheng came out after hearing the news. As soon as he appeared, Yong Yi and other old disciples of the country all drew their swords. Dong Da stood in front of Wu Sheng and showed his iron rod. Several armor commanders also drew their swords. For a moment, both sides were fighting. The situation is tense.
Yong Yi took two steps forward and pointed his sword at Wu Sheng: "Yong Ren Hall is the source of trouble in the country. Without you, why would we be here today?"
Yongzhi fell to the ground without moving, but said: "Yongyi, if you dare to take another half step, you will die!"
Yong Yi stared at Yong Zhi fiercely, his legs wanted to step forward, but he couldn't move forward no matter what!
