From the Bird - Chapter 714
Li Yan opened his eyes slowly.
This is an extremely empty big house, with red cloth hanging everywhere, and a half-person-high copper chime on hand. The remaining smoke in the crane-shaped incense burner is no one around.
A lot of memories washed over Li Yan’s mind. He closed his eyes for a while and frowned.
The situation is more critical than Li Yan imagined!
Six full years have passed since Nanyang. When the Nanyang group broke the siege of Guangzhou, the government took advantage of the situation to throw out the olive branch of the Zhao’an group of thieves. The former robber Yiqi Zhuben was the first to respond, and he became the deputy general of the government.
In the following years, the government adopted the plan of cutting off food, putting an end to aid, and prohibiting ships from going to sea. Gradually eroding the space for piracy activities, last year, despite the wolf ambitions of foreigners who had attacked Guangzhou, they formed a joint army with the East India Company to eliminate sea thieves.
The Hongqi Gang bear the brunt and suffered huge losses.
At the beginning, there were five hundred Hongqi ships, more than a thousand artillery pieces, more than ten thousand people capable of fighting, countless guns and ammunition, and the military mighty, but six years later, now the Hongqi ships add up to only three hundred, which is even more terrible. Shortage, popular support.
To make matters worse, there is a secret report on Li Yan’s book case, which was delivered yesterday.
According to the secret report, the government secretly transferred food, grass, and armaments from Zhejiang and Fujian. It could be as short as four or five days and as long as a month. The government will surely come out and point its sword at Lantau in an attempt to completely eliminate the Red Flag Gang! Among the coalition forces, in addition to the British gunboats, there are also Shi Tianying of the white flag, Xu Longsi of the yellow flag, and the remnant of the black flag. They were originally recruited by the government, but now they are all the pioneers of Lantau!
This is also the direct cause of Nintu’s letter for help. If Li Yan doesn’t rectify, the Red Flag Gang will be in a disaster!
Li Yan thought for a while, just about to send a conversation to Cha Xiaodao, but the other party’s conversation came in first.
“It’s not right!” Cha Xiaodao said solemnly: “I’m going to see you, but I was stopped by a group of Gaoli ghosts holding muskets under Chao Yi’s hand. The atmosphere on the island today is weird, and something might happen.”
Li Yan stood up, moved his neck a little, and said in a deep voice: “Just leave, don’t ask Xue Ba to make trouble. I’ll be there later.”
“I see, take care of yourself.”
After Cha Xiaodao finished speaking, he hung up the conversation.
Li Yan looked around, picked up the mallet on the ground and knocked on the bronze chime. The sound of gold and stone circled the beam. Not long after, the sound of running came from outside the house, and there were a few more figures in front of the window.
“Brother Tianbao, what’s your order?”
A Gaoligui said in a deep voice.
“Zheng Yunsheng, are you on duty today?”
Li Yan squinted his eyes.
“Oh~ Qian Lezi was on duty. He ate too much alcohol last night, stumbled and fell into a mountain stream, broke a leg, and is now recuperating.”
“I think there are a lot of people outside of you? My yard usually rarely comes, so there is no need for too many guards.”
“Brother Tianbao, you don’t know. Recently, several brothers have been killed and injured, so many brothers have been killed and injured. You have added manpower to patrol the entrances. You think it is an eyesore, we are separated?”
Zheng Yun said in a deep voice.
“Oh, that’s not necessary. Has anyone come to me recently?”
“No.”
“That’s good. I’m hungry, you can help me get something to eat.”
“I see, Brother Tianbao.”
The windows were so shadowy that they were far away in no time.
Xu Chaoyi is the veteran of the Red Flag Gang, and his subordinates are all copper-skinned and iron-boned, and he is a sharp-sword figure of the Red Flag Gang. Now, without instructions, a few Gaoli ghosts held firearms in their own courtyard, and did not tell others to see themselves. This is obviously a mutiny!
But Li Yan didn’t have any trouble.
The Red Flag Gang now has internal and external troubles, not to mention external troubles, and internal troubles are by no means tolerant and useless. He withdrew hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Hongqi bank. This money is easy to take away, but there is always a reason for it. The silver that can fill a room cannot disappear out of thin air.
The so-called Tianbaozi indulging in alcoholic alchemy is just an excuse for Nintu to wipe Li Yan’s ass. The last time Li Yan opened his eyes, his arms were warm and fragrant and nephrite, but this time he was in a quiet and secluded courtyard, and there were no extravagant things by his side.
After a while, Zheng Yunsheng walked in with a food tray. There was a steaming roast chicken, two dim sums, and a jar of rice wine.
“Brother Tianbao.”
Zheng Yunsheng called Li Yan.
Li Yan first sipped the rice wine, broke off the chicken legs and took a bite. Finally, he picked up the dim sum, put it in his mouth for a while, and said vaguely to Zheng Yunsheng: “You surround my yard, it is what Xu Chaoyi meant. Is it Xiu’er?”
Zheng Yun took two steps back and his face changed drastically.
“Why don’t you speak?”
Li Yan raised the jar and drank the wine.
Tianbaozi has been dormant for six years, but the old tiger’s posture was still there. After hesitating for a while, Zheng Yunsheng still knelt on one knee. “Tianbao leader Mingjian! Someone in the Red Flag Gang colluded with the government in an attempt to wipe out my Red Flag Gang. This is the name of Brother Chao Yi. I am here to protect the safety of the faucet, and I will never disrespect the faucet.”
Li Yan wiped the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes: “The wine and vegetables are non-toxic. I measured that you didn’t hurt me. Where is the righteous Xu Chao?”
Zheng Yunsheng answered honestly: “The leader of Fang Caixiu summoned the verbal leaders of the various halls in the name of the leader. After a stick of incense, he will go to the Yanwu Hall to discuss matters, and Brother Chaoyi should be there.”
“Hmph, okay. If you still think of me as the leader of the Red Flag Gang, shut your mouth now. Dare to say so that you can’t eat and walk around.”
Zheng Yunsheng’s eyes flashed back and forth and nodded.
“Take off your clothes.”
Zheng Yunsheng was taken aback, but facing Li Yan’s deep eyes, he had no choice but to follow suit.
Li Yan squeezed Zheng Yunsheng’s shoulder and chin, and looked him up and down for a while.
Zheng Yunsheng is slightly shorter and darker than Li Yan, with wider cheekbones, but narrower shoulders than Li Yan. Even if it is from the back, the two people have no similarities.
“Crack!”
Li Yan made a crackling sound like fried soybeans. The whole person was a little shorter than the naked eye, the distance between the facial features changed, and the skin color became much darker. It looks at least 80 to 90% similar to Zheng Yunsheng.
Li Yan himself couldn’t say that this was the ability in the Jacques Atlas of Destiny. At the beginning, he failed to see the world. Those weak genetic abilities that were extinguished did not disappear from Li Yan, but were digested. The almost instinctive way is combined with Li Yan’s physical body.
It’s like babies are born to cry and laugh, don’t have to learn, everything is in harmony.
This is the truth of insight into the world.
Zheng Yunsheng’s eyes went straight, and he couldn’t help but let out an ah.
Bang~
Li Yan hit his forehead hard, and the Gaoligui, known as the copper-skinned iron-boned, fell on his back and fainted.
“Tell you to keep quiet.”
Li Yan took off his large black robe, put on Zheng Yunsheng’s clothes, and walked out grandiosely.
Several Gaoligui immediately gathered around.
“Tianbao dragon head said to enlighten immortality, telling us not to disturb him.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them couldn’t help complaining: “Ginseng Ginseng, the government has hit the door, and also went to a bird fairy! What happened to the Tianbao dragon head!”
Li Yan glared at the man pretentiously. The man knew he had made a mistake and shut up quickly.
“You guard the yard, I’ll go and make it easier.”
The crowd said yes.
Li Yan went out of the gate and didn’t alarm anyone along the way until he heard a faint voice from the wing in the martial arts hall.
