Chapter 536 The chess pieces
were on the stone bridge of the Governor's Mansion. Hu Beizong looked at Guang Jiqi in front of him: "You said that these Japanese pirates were the work of Wang Zhi. What evidence is there?" "There is no evidence, just intuition." Guang
Jiqi He opened his mouth and said, "But this intuition should be close to ten."
"What should I say?" Hu Beizong asked.
"Because this group of Japanese pirates is completely different from the ordinary Japanese pirates we often encounter. I once told your Excellency that the Japanese sentiment raging along the coast today is nine times false and one is real. In other words, out of ten Japanese pirates, there are probably only One is a real Japanese who really came from Japan, and the other nine are just people who are trying to cover up the situation, just greedy for gold, silver, and silk." "Actually, if you think about it, you can know that even if the situation in Japan is
unstable now, a large number of The ronin left his hometown and wandered around, but we are far away from Japan by the sea, and it is not easy to cross the sea now." "The
Japanese who can really reach China are still a minority." "
But this group of Japanese pirates, although they are not large in number, But they are all real Japanese, and the average military quality is very high. Not to mention, the key is the strength of the leader, which is more than two levels higher than the ordinary ronin warriors we see. After this Japanese pirates landed, there was no Instead of attacking the rich towns with the most money and wealth, I came directly to my useless Shiping Guards Station to seek bad luck. It was clear that I didn’t think it was a big deal, or that I just wanted to cause a big fuss.” “I even wanted to make a big fuss.
” I doubt that they even dare to come to Yingtian Mansion."
"And this is the challenge issued by Wang Zhi to us." Guang
Jiqi talked eloquently, while Hu Beizong listened carefully. It was not until Guang Jiqi finished speaking that Hu Beizong spoke. Asked: "Where does the challenge start?"
"Today's situation in the southeast, the biggest and most important thing is to end the Japanese pirate rebellion." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said: "You and I know this, and Wang Zhi feels the same way. You know it all."
"But in fact, most of the Japanese pirate attacks are really caused by scabies. They are just causing nuisance along the coast. When the officers and soldiers arrive, they flee." "We don't have any good way to deal with them, but
they We don't dare to push too far,
and most of them just stop when they feel comfortable." "Although I don't want to admit it, this is a tacit understanding we have formed with each other under the current stalemate. We have no way to eradicate the Japanese pirates for the time being, so we just It can limit the scope of activities of Japanese pirates. If they are not too arrogant, we will give them some space to move, and at the same time evacuate the people nearby, and just strengthen the walls and clear the country." "But this time is different." "Wang Zhi seems to want to ask for
help
. We prove it."
"How much damage can the Japanese pirates cause?"
"In other words, how much damage can the Japanese pirates who do not aim at money and focus on destruction bring to the Zhou court." "
This group of elite Japanese pirates , just to amplify Zhou's blood."
Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said seriously.
This is an obvious thing. After Guang Jiqi's analysis, things became clear.
Hu Beizong sighed after hearing this: "You are right, this is the card Wang Zhi played for us." "
How to deal with it is related to the face of the court."
Compromise is impossible. I, the Emperor of Zhou, guard the country, and the king will die in Sheji. , If you don't cede land, don't pay compensation, and don't make peace with each other, you'll break your teeth and swallow it in your belly.
Would he change his original intention because of a mere pirate? Impossible
.
Unless there's an opium war.
But Wang Zhi did take action again. He chose to use Japanese pirates to break the situation. A small group of elite ronin warriors could easily defeat a large Zhou garrison. Their movements were erratic like ghosts. They wanted to find and annihilate this group of ronin. , the difficulty is indeed not small, but if these rogues cannot be dealt with, the imperial court will really lose face in the end.
"Actually." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said softly: "The general has already thought of a way to deal with it." "Really
?" Hu Beizong was pleasantly surprised: "What method?"
"Teach others their own ways. Body." Guang Jiqi said slowly.
"How do you understand the way of a person?" Hu Beizong asked thoughtfully.
"Wang Zhi sent this group of elite warriors from Japan. They relied on nothing more than the fact that they had no father or king, abandoned their country and family, and were nothing more than desperadoes. Even if they all died on the land of China, no one would care. , On the contrary, it can shed a lot of our blood." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said: "But Japan has these elite warriors, don't we in China have martial arts masters who can compete with them?" As soon as these words came out, Hu Beizong's eyes suddenly lit up
. : "I have always heard that there are real martial arts masters in the world who can fly over walls and climb over walls, but I have never had the opportunity to see them. Do you think Jiqi can find such a master?" "With martial arts, China has been prosperous since ancient times
. However, there has always been a clear distinction between the rivers and lakes and the temples. It is understandable that the governor did not know." "Actually, I do
know some veterans in the rivers and lakes. Not to mention those from far away, but those close to me, such as General Qiu Dayu and Qiu, he was born in Shaolin. I am a lay disciple and got the true inheritance from the head abbot, but water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. With this coming and going, even if it is the legend of Hongyan, more than ten days have passed, and we do not have that much time." Hu Beizong heard this
. Guang Jiqi said this, knowing that Guang Jiqi must have had an idea in his mind, so he looked at him and said, "Don't give me any clues. If you have any ideas, just tell me immediately.
" Please forgive me, Lord Governor, for the crime of this general." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said quietly.
"What crime do you have? The crime of losing the Shiping Guardhouse is not a crime of war. I will explain it to you. You don't have to worry." Hu Beizong said.
"It's not the crime of losing the Shiping Guardhouse." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said quietly: "It's that I escaped from the Japanese pirates by luck this time, but I was seriously injured, hungry and tired, and finally fell to the ground In the wilderness."
Hu Beizong couldn't help but groaned, but now that Guang Jiqi appeared in front of him, he must have met a noble person to help him.
Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and continued: "Just as the governor thought, I was rescued." "The
people who rescued me were a man and a woman. Both of them are first-class martial arts masters. I asked them why To rescue me, they told me that they were originally the ones who came to kill me."
Hu Beizong couldn't help but exclaimed: "Really?"
How could such a strange thing happen?
He said he was going to kill him, but why did he finally come to his rescue?
"Who are they?" Hu Beizong continued to ask.
Guang Jiqi looked into Hu Beizong's eyes and uttered two words one
after another: "Beehive." Hu Beizong took a step back and looked at Guang Jiqi: "You, why did you get together with those traitors?"
Japanese pirates Of course, it is a serious concern of the imperial court, but Beehive's recent situation is not much better.
In other words, the Japanese pirates in the south, the beehive in the north, the southern Japanese pirates and the northern beehive, the two peerless prides, can be regarded as the two most troublesome existences for the court.
The Japanese pirates have always been a nuisance to the southeast, let’s not mention it for the moment, but the Beehive is an organization that has only started to become famous this year, and its presence has reached an extreme level for a while.
First, he killed Zhou Haitian, the Minister of Household Affairs, and then caused trouble in Luocheng, which made Long Yan furious and sent the Jinyi Guard envoy to deal with it. During this period, many things happened, although on the surface, the envoy Lu Yuan escaped unscathed. , went back smoothly and rewarded according to merit, but as far as Hu Beizong knew, the details were still a bit complicated.
However, hives have always been more active in the north, so why did they suddenly come to the south?
"This is the reason why the Governor should forgive me in advance." Guang Jiqi took a look and said: "As the Governor knows, the Beehive has always been active in the north. The reason why we encountered these Beehive assassins in the south is, It's because Wang Zhi has extended an olive branch to many forces this time and wants to use all his connections and strength to play this big game of southeastern chess." "The honeycomb is one of the chess
pieces he uses."
"According to those assassins. , Wang Zhi submitted an assassination list to Hive. On this list, all the officials and generals from the southeastern provinces were on it, clearly marked with prices, waiting for sale." "Not only are the names of his subordinates on this list, but
also The Governor's name is also on the list!"
"How bold!" Hu Beizong couldn't help but slapped the bridge pillar angrily: "How dare they..."
However, Hu Beizong immediately realized that Beehive dared to kill even Zhou Haitian, and the tiger's whiskers passed by , and you will become more proficient at stroking it again.
Hive might actually dare.
"In that case." Hu Beizong's attitude softened: "So, you have fallen into their hands. Instead of killing you, they treated your injuries and sent you here?" Hu Beizong was incredulous. After all, this
happened It sounds a bit fantasy. It is probably equivalent to the weasel not only paying New Year greetings to the chicken, but also carrying a basket of millet in his left hand and a basket of carrots in his right hand. In short, he not only seems to have good intentions, but is also extremely polite and considerate.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. When Hu Beizong said this, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Guang Jiqi: "So the helper you mentioned..." "Yes." Guang Jiqi nodded and said, "The last general has
already Asking them for help, they also promised the general that if there is really a need to fight against the Japanese pirates in the future, they will help the general." "
Absurd!" Hu Beizong couldn't help shouting angrily.
"The general also feels ridiculous, but the situation forces them to not kill the general. Perhaps they hope that the general will bring them greater benefits, but the general really believes that they are not just simple hive rebels."
Saying this, Guang Jiqi took out a small token from his waist and handed it to Hu Beizong: "Sir, look at what this is." Hu Beizong
took it and took a look, and couldn't help being surprised.
This is a small brass token, no more than the size of a palm. On the front is written the four characters "Bei Zhen Fu Si", and on the back is the "Unobstructed Access to the Imperial City" and "Hundred Households Xue Ling Cross".
"What is this?" Hu Beizong couldn't help but trembled.
Of course he knew that this was Jin Yiwei's token.
But how could Jin Yiwei's token be in Guang Jiqi's hands?
"This was given to me by one of the female assassins. She told the general that she was the secret sentinel planted by the Jin Yiwei in the hive." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said, "For this reason, she gave this order As a token, let me give it to the Governor."
"Secret whistle." Hu Beizong murmured: "Is it the secret whistle of the Jin Yiwei?" "
Yes, the matter has come to this. If the Governor is to stop, it will be broken, and if it is continued, it will be chaos." Guang Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong and said quietly: "Do you allow the general to borrow the power of the Hive Assassin to respond to Wang Zhi's move this time?"
Hu Beizong repeatedly looked at the token in his hand and murmured: "Xue Ling, Xue Ling, could this Xue Ling be the Xue Ling I know?" "
What a nonsense, what a shame."
"If you go back and see that female assassin, give her a chance. , come and see me."
Guang Jiqi has never heard of the name Xue Ling. After all, all ladies are raised in a boudoir. Guang Jiqi has heard of Xue Ping's name, but he is really interested in Xue Ping's daughter. Not quite sure.
"The matter of borrowing the power of the hive." Guang Jiqi looked at Hu Beizong.
Hu Beizong raised his hand: "That's right, if something happens, I will be responsible." "
However, you must also issue a military order."
"No problem!" Guang Jiqi said happily.
...
...
The building boat has docked at the dock of Yingtian Mansion. This building boat - in fact, this building boat has been given a different name by Fang.
It's called a wide area silent number.
Although the name is very difficult to pronounce, because it was Fang Bi's decision, not many people raised objections.
Xue Ling did not get off the boat.
She just sat on the roof of the boat and watched the traffic going back and forth.
"Did you give the token to Guang Jiqi?" Fang Bie looked at Xue Ling and asked.
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded: "Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back alive."
After all, colluding with the remnants of the hive is a serious crime.
But working undercover with the Jin Yiwei in Remnants of the Hive is another story.
Xue Ling's current identity is also different from that of the little girl who ran to Xiaohun Inn. Although only half a year has passed, due to her outstanding performance in the Luo City operation, Xue Ling has now become an officially listed Jin Yiwei. Undercover, and can follow the powerful rising stars of other hives everywhere.
After truly crossing the clear path, especially after both parties knew Xue Ling's identity, for the time being, Xue Ling's special identity became an existence that no one would take the initiative to touch.
After all, this is a very rare communication channel.
Normally, there is no way to do it even if you want to.
"You really mean it." Fang Bie said with a sigh.
At the same time, he looked at the surging river water.
"I heard that the Qinhuai Painted Boat in Yingtian Mansion is very famous. Do you want to go and sit with us tonight?"
"Is this an invitation?" Xue Ling looked at Fang Bie and said, "How many people
are there ?" Sensitive.
"Can't we all go?" Fang Bie said slowly.
Xue Ling's face instantly darkened.
"Then I won't go."
Fang Bie burst out laughing.
Xue Ling pursed her lips slightly: "Asshole."
