Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 165
Ye Shian looked at Gu Jiusi, his expression moved slightly.
The youth in front of him no longer remembers his appearance, and he himself is far from his youth.
He took a deep breath, turned his head, and said hoarsely, “Don’t talk, I have other things to do.”
After finishing speaking, Ye Shian took the written letter and letter and left in a hurry.
Gu Jiusi looked at his back quietly, after a long time, he withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes, and sighed softly.
Youzhou began to deploy troops and defense, but the lingering drizzle in Yangzhou continued.
Liu Yuru and Chen Xun sat in the private room of the tea house, Shuixiang and guards guarded the door, Liu Yuru poured tea for Chen Xun, and said with emotion: “I didn’t expect that after many years of separation, I can still goodbye.”
“Nine thought about you before,” Liu Yuru looked at him and sighed, “But in that world, it was too difficult to say goodbye.”
“Yeah.” Chen Xun took a sip of tea, the warmth of the tea spread from him, Chen Xun’s expression was gentle, “It’s fortunate that Jiusi became a high-ranking official, originally you didn’t Come find me, and I will find time to find you.”
“Why didn’t you come?” Liu Yuru was a little strange, and Chen Xun smiled bitterly, “I am not a high-ranking person in Yangzhou, I get the official appointment every day, and I can’t get rid of myself, if I tell others, I’m not too worried. I could have been away from Yangzhou, and I have settled my family over the years, and I could have lived in peace and stability.”
Chen Xun took a sip of tea, turned his head, looked at the drizzle, and said slowly: “But after all, I am a little unwilling, every time I think of Wenchang and the past, I feel that I am seven feet tall. Man, I have to do something. Jiusi is a high-ranking official in the East, doing big things. I don’t have the ability like him. After thinking about it, I came back to Yangzhou, thinking about staying in Yangzhou and seeing if I can do it. do something.”
Speaking, Chen Xun raised his eyes to look at Liu Yuru, and said calmly, “You came, did you have a plan?”
“Fan Yu, the Eastern capital, ascended the throne, and the former emperor established a cabinet to assist Fan Yu, do you know this?”
Liu Yuru spoke directly, Chen Xun looked at Liu Yuru, he noticed Liu Yuru’s words, she called Fan Xuan the first emperor, but she called Fan Yu by her first name, he couldn’t help saying: “This matter has already been I have already heard of it in Yangzhou, what has His Majesty done now?”
“Luo Zishang instigated him to abolish the cabinet and kill Prime Minister Zhang and Yushi Ye. Jiu Si escaped by chance, and now he is about to arrive in Youzhou. He asked me to come to Yangzhou to do one thing. “
“But it doesn’t matter.”
“The most important reason why Luo Zishang is highly valued by Fan Yu is that he has Yangzhou’s support.” Liu Yuru leaned over slightly and lowered her voice, “We hope that Yangzhou can make a public statement and discuss with Luo. The sub-merchant cut off the relationship.”
“In this way, Luo Zishang and Fan Yu will be at odds with each other, and if Jiu Si uses the Eastern Capital, it will prevent Yangzhou from supporting.”
“I understand.” Chen Xun nodded. He seemed to be thinking. Seeing him thinking, Liu Yuru couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking?”
This person is helping Xiao Ming now, but he himself is an old part of the Wang family, and he has a lot of solicitations for us guests. I can see that although he is helping Xiao Ming, he has been in business for a long time.”
Liu Yuru nodded, and Chen Xun continued: “The second is Xiao Ming, this person is Luo Zishang’s junior brother, loyal to Luo Zishang, everything in Yangzhou, now he says After all, if you want Yangzhou to make a statement and cut off relations with Luo Zishang, you must first pass Xiao Ming.”
“Mrs. Ji,” Liu Yuru tapped on the table, “what’s your location in Yangzhou?”
“This has to say about the third force in Yangzhou, which is actually the old part of the Wang family,” Chen Xun said one by one what he saw in Yangzhou. After he died, this group of people followed Young Master Wang. Now Young Master Wang is too young, so speaking of this, this group of people is a group of people that Mrs. Ji can actually rely on. But Mrs. Ji is a very ignorant person, and she hardly cares about it. Anything, stay in the backyard all day long, waiting for Luo Zishang to come back.”
“Luo Zishang has something with her…” Liu Yuru thought for a while and found a suitable adjective, “Other relationship?”
“I don’t think so.” Chen Xun shook his head, “Luo Zishang is very arrogant, I’m afraid he doesn’t look down on a woman like Mrs. Ji. Besides, Mrs. Ji invited her several times at night, but she was invited by Mrs. Ji. Luo Zishang refused, if there is anything, I’m afraid it won’t be like this.”
Liu Yuru nodded, thinking that Chen Xun was right.
Although Luo Zishang is unbearable, Liu Yuru can also see that he is very proud and self-controlled in his feelings. Chen Xun took a sip of water and continued: “But Mrs. Ji may have many thoughts about Luo Zishang. After all, she was chosen by Luo Zishang, and Luo Zishang was born in a famous family and was born handsome. Instead of being hostile, I also think he is personable, and when such a hero saves the beauty and holds the wealth and glory, it is difficult for a woman to not be moved. I have a friend who works by Xiao Ming’s side and has told me about her a few times. , Said that Mrs. Ji is now thinking about it, when Luo Zishang returns, she will marry him, and they will jointly raise Young Master Wang and become the local emperor of Yangzhou together.”
“Then Mrs. Ji is waiting for Luo Zishang now?”
Liu Yuru frowned, and Chen Xun smiled: “Probably. It is precisely because of this that she has hardly had contact with the old Wang family.”
Liu Yuru did not speak, she thought, and after a long time, she said: “Do you think Wang Pingzhang will be against Luo Zishang?”
“Huh?”
Chen Xun was a little puzzled, Liu Yuru knocked on the table, and continued: “If we promise to eradicate Xiao Ming for Wang Pingzhang, how likely is Wang Pingzhang to cooperate with us?”
“I’m afraid it’s 90%.”
Chen Xun definitely spoke, Liu Yuru thought about it, and slowly said, “What is the relationship between Xiao Ming and Mrs. Ji?”
“There is some respect on the surface,” Chen Xun replied, “but Xiao Ming has never been very fond of Mrs. Ji.”
Liu Yuru didn’t speak, she seemed to be thinking about something, Chen Xun saw that she didn’t speak, and said a little strangely: “Yuru?”
“So,” Liu Yuru tapped the tabletop and said slowly, “Can you please introduce me so I can meet Wang Pingzhang?”
Chen Xun was stunned for a while, then he nodded, “Okay.”
The two did not hesitate, and Chen Xun made arrangements immediately. When night came, Chen Xun took Wang Pingzhang to the inn where Liu Yuru rested.
Liu Yuru asked people to put up the curtain and talked with Wang Pingzhang across the screen. After Wang Pingzhang bowed, he respectfully said with Liu Yuru: “I heard from Mr. Chen that a distinguished guest came from afar, but ?”
When I came to Yangzhou and became a guest of the Wang family, the word Pingzhang was taken by Mr. Wang Shanquan. For Mr. Wang Shanquan, he was kind and re-created.”
Wang Pingzhang listened to these words, picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves on the teacup, took a sip of the tea and said: “Madam is an old acquaintance of Mr. Wang?”
“Mr. Wang is so kind, and now others have died and their souls have disappeared, and they have been murdered and humiliated their wives. Don’t you feel ashamed when Mr. Wang looks at it like this?”
Liu Yuru did not answer Wang Pingzhang’s words and continued to ask. When Wang Pingzhang heard this, he chuckled softly: “It was originally here to divide me and Lord Luo.”
“Don’t you feel unwilling, Mr. Wang?”
Liu Yuru felt that this was an extremely difficult character, after a short trial, she probably figured out Wang Pingzhang’s way, and slowly said: “Now Luo Zishang is not in Yangzhou, but a nineteen-year-old. The child is stationed in Yangzhou, don’t you feel aggrieved when Mr. Wang works under a child?”
“What should I do?”
Wang Pingzhang looked at the long shadow on the screen and raised the corners of his mouth: “This girl thinks, what can I do?”
Liu Yuru did not speak, she knew that Wang Pingzhang was making conditions with her, Liu Yuru thought about it, and said, “I can help you kill Xiao Ming.”
“And then wait for Luo Zishang to come back and kill me?”
Wang Pingzhang lowered his head and chuckled: “Girl, I’m not that stupid.”
On the contrary, do you think Luo Zishang still has time to come back to clean you up?”
“Are you from Youzhou?” Wang Pingzhang continued to test, Liu Yuru said slowly: “It doesn’t matter whether I am from Youzhou or not, I can help you become the master of Yangzhou, that’s the only way. is the most important.”
Wang Pingzhang did not speak, he was obviously moved, Liu Yuru looked at the figure outside, and continued: “I can let Mrs. Ji stand on your side, or I can lend you manpower and money, waiting for you. Work with Madam Ji to kill Xiao Ming, if Luo Zishang dares to come back, Youzhou will send troops to help you.”
“In addition, I will give you a lot of money to facilitate your work. We will contribute money and people to contribute, and you will become the owner of Yangzhou. This kind of business is a good deal.”
“How much can you give me?”
Wang Pingzhang immediately became interested when he heard the money, Liu Yuru smiled and raised his hand: “One million.”
Wang Pingzhang was about to refuse when he heard this, when Liu Yuru said, “Deposit.”
“If Luo Zishang decides to attack you, I will be responsible for all the military supplies.”
Wang Pingzhang didn’t say anything. After he made a serious calculation, he continued: “Then what do you ask for?”
“After you become the Lord of Yangzhou, send a wanted notice to the world.”
“Who is wanted?”
Wang Pingzhang did not understand, Liu Yuru whispered a name: “Luo Zishang.”
