Chapter 42 Chapter 6 An Identity

After the opening of the Grand Canal, the fate of Yangzhou was linked to her. Yangzhou has a long history. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the land of the Han Kingdom. Later, King Fucha of the Wu Dynasty conquered Qi in the north and opened Hangou for more than 300 miles. It became the oldest section of the Grand Canal, connecting the two major basins of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River.It is located at the southern end of the Jianghuai Plain, with the sea in the east and the Yangtze River in the south.After the opening of the Grand Canal, Wu Zhao moved his capital to Luoyang.The economic center of the Central Plains gradually shifted to the south, and as the tide rose, all boats rose. Yangzhou's status became more and more important, echoing Luoyang, becoming a distribution center for north-south goods and the first port for the outside world.

Regardless of other things, there are more than ten shipyards that can build large ships, with a population of more than 400,000. There are thousands of Hui merchants living here, and it has become a treasured place to do business and make a fortune. Yangzhou also has a special status in politics.The most serious rebellion before Wu Zhao ascended the throne took place here, and the Bamboo Flower Gang was so exhausted that they were involved in the incident.Since then, Wu Zhao stationed a large number of troops in Yangzhou, and Wu Zhao's confidant General Qiu Shenji was in charge, and he also served as the general manager of Yangzhou, integrating military and administrative power in one person.

It was a bright and clear day, and Qiu Shenji personally led the navy and warships to meet him. At the request of Hengkong Muye, he went straight to the river, and then went east to the sea, so as to fulfill his wish. Longying didn't accompany him, but under the arrangement of Qiu Shenji, he sneaked to Yangzhou and met secretly with the leader of the Zhuhua Gang in the general manager's mansion.After sitting down, Longying said: I need an identity. Gui Youwei was confused by what he heard, so he hurriedly asked him for details. Long Ying asked back: "What does Gui Gangzhu think of Da Jiang Lian?"

Gui Youwei frowned deeply and said: I sometimes doubt whether there is really a Dajianglian.It is nominally composed of more than a hundred big and small gangs, and the head of the general association is held in turn by the heads of each gang. But if you want to find someone who can talk to you, they always push and give way, making it difficult to get started.On the surface they are polite to the Zhuhua Gang, and they seem to follow the rules of the world, but I feel something is wrong. Long Ying said: Where is the problem? Gui Youwei said: "Recently, the sub-rudder leader of my gang in Jiangling suddenly disappeared strangely. I'm afraid it's more ominous than good, and it also caused us to lose Jiangling, an important territory."This is just one example. In the past few years, I have lost eight of my capable men. They either died unexpectedly or disappeared mysteriously.

He said again: "What kind of identity does Eagle Lord want?" Long Ying said: "The boy's coming to the south this time is a top secret. In addition, no one in the south knows me. I only need a cover-up identity. For example, if a well-known desperado becomes the target of Da Jianglian's recruiting, maybe You can enter Dajiang United. What he didn't say was that he had obtained precious information about Da Jianglian from the captured guy named Song Yanzhi, and sent him ashore in the middle of the night to cooperate with his plan. When capturing Song Yanzhi in the water, he used methods to push the water flow with his palm strength to disperse the enemy's formation. Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos at that time, he snatched Song Yanzhi away without anyone noticing. He did this only because he didn't want to kill. Now become prescient.Song Yanzhi made up a random story, which should be able to conceal the fact of being captured.

Gui Youwei pondered for a moment, then he suddenly lifted his spirits, and said: "There is a very suitable identity for Master Ying, and that is Fan Qingzhou, nicknamed Desperate Man."Because of his jealousy in the brothel, he killed and injured several wealthy children. At the begging of the poor master's parents, I sent more than a dozen experts to hunt him down for thousands of miles, and finally sniped him at Poyang Lake.Since my subordinate came back late at night, I haven't had a chance to tell anyone. The best thing is that he brought back his famous weapon, the snake head knife.Not only is he about the same age as you, but he is also as tall as Eagle Lord. No one is more suitable than him.

Long Ying said happily: "Does many people in Yangzhou know him?" Gui Youwei said: We did some research on him.This person had been active in Yunnan and Guizhou until he was eighteen years old. He was a loner.His lightness skills are very good, and he can escape under siege many times.This villain is a person who can't see the light, and he doesn't know much about others. Long Ying said decisively: Let's do it this way, the gang leader can do my best for me. Lang Fan Qingzhou spread the word that I absconded westward along the river. Gui Youwei said happily: "I'm really glad that I can help you."When Lord Ying came to Yangzhou, I should do my best to be a landlord, but under the current circumstances, it is not suitable for Lord Ying to go to the brothel.

Longying laughed dumbly and said: What's going on here?It seems that everyone thinks that I love brothels, but in fact I have only been to brothels once since I was born. Gui Youwei said: "People who are not flirtatious are in vain for young people."The problem is that Master Ying is surrounded by clouds of beauties, so busy that he has no time to think about the girls in the brothel. Longying said: The boss really likes to joke. After discussing Fan Qingzhou's status, Gui Youwei left. Steal half a day of leisure. Longying took the opportunity to go back to his room and fell asleep, fell asleep, and returned to Gantangyuan in his dream. The three daughters were ecstatic when they saw him come back, but suddenly Princess Taiping broke in to arrest him, then returned to the Huanggu Stone House, and then woke up.

For the first time, he felt the pain of longing. With a move in his heart, he sent people to send paper, pen and ink, and wrote three letters in one breath.The first family letter was the longest, and it was given to the three daughters of Ya, and the other two letters were written to Princess Taiping and the little witch Di Ouxian respectively, apologizing for breaking the appointment. After writing the three letters, it was already dusk, and Qiu Shenji came to see him in person. The two sat down in the outer hall. Qiu Shenji said happily: The prince and his party went shopping in Dongshi, and after that they had to attend a banquet to welcome them before returning to the General Manager's Mansion.I stole some time and rushed back to talk to Mr. Long.

Wu Zhao, a confidant and favorite general, is in his forties, good-looking, with hidden eyes, and he is shrewd and powerful at a glance. Longying first handed three letters to him, asking him to send them to the capital of God, and then said: What instructions do you have from the Holy Spirit? Qiu Shenji took out the flying pigeon letter sealed with wax paint from his arms, and handed it to Longying respectfully with both hands.After the latter took it, he took out the oracle and read it from beginning to end, rubbing it into crumbs with his hands. Qiu Shenji said: Is there anything I can help with?

Long Ying said: "The most important thing is to keep it secret, as long as no one knows about my coming from the south, it's half the battle."Director Qiu can report to the Holy Majesty that I will leave the ship and go to Sichuan after arriving at the Three Gorges. If the Holy Majesty wants to send people to help me, they can wait in Yangzhou, but they must not come to Bashu to find me.I will act in another capacity, please ask Gui Gangzhu for details. Qiu Shenji nodded and said: Understood!The Holy Majesty ordered to come down and ask Mr. Long to let go.Hey!Forgive me, Mr. Long had better write a report in his own hand, and let me send it to Shendu together with these three letters. Long Ying slapped his forehead and agreed: I'm so confused, these three letters will be sent to the Holy Master first, right?I will do it immediately. Qiu Shenji said: I will wait for you here. Longying entered the room and edited a book, and returned to the hall to hand it over to Qiu Shenji, who took it and said: "Several sensational things have happened in Chengdu. The first is the appearance of the flower pickers. This man only picks out beauties from famous families." , the latest news is that the number of victims has increased to six, but the government and martial arts in Bashu can't even touch the shadow of the flower pickers. Now the reward for the flower pickers has increased to a thousand taels of gold. Longying's eyes were full of magic lights, and he said: "What else is it?" Qiu Shenji said: "The other is the gang dispute. First, Zhai Lianfeng, the leader of the largest gang in Bashu, the Bashu League, was assassinated and killed. Afterwards, it is not even clear who did it. Now the Bashu League is run by Zhai Lianfeng's only daughter." Zhai Yancui succeeds to the throne as the leader, the situation is worrying. Long Ying sighed: "The Great River Alliance has finally launched in Bashu." Qiu Shenji said: It doesn't look like it.The more influential gang under Dajianglian in Bashu is the Xijiang Gang. Its gang leader was killed three days before Zhai Lianfeng was assassinated. Know who benefits. Long Ying said in a deep voice: "I think it's just Dajianglian's trick to cover up people's ears, and it's more likely that the leader of the Xijiang gang was disobedient and killed him casually." Qiu Shenji's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said: "I have established a quick response force. As long as there is a clear target, no matter how far or near, it can be uprooted with lightning speed."Can Mr. Long do me a favor in this regard? Long Ying said: "After I go to find out the situation, I will come back and discuss with the manager. Now, don't act rashly, so as to startle the snake." At this time, the blond beauty Meixiu Nafu came back, Qiu Shenji said a few more words, and left with an envious expression on his face. Long Ying brought Meixiu Nafu back to the dormitory, sat down on the chair by the window, Meixiu Nafu sat on her lap, and made out with each other. Long Ying said: Don't you need to accompany the prince to attend the banquet?Many will be disappointed without the beautiful Metheneve. Meixiu Nafu kissed him, smiled like a flower and said: "When I was shopping, I was thinking about Eagle Lord. The more I thought about you, the more I missed you. I didn't care about other things, so I came back immediately after I spent all my money."Lord Eagle!Michelle misses you so much! Long Ying was taken aback. The money bag Hengkong Muye gave him contained at least two hundred taels of silver, which was equivalent to three ingots of gold, but she used it up in a matter of hours.Her beauty is shocking, and it is even more shocking to spend money, and even a small man can't afford her.It seems that the thousands of taels of gold from the Bashu flower pickers must be pocketed, and justice can be sought for the victims. With a wry smile: What is Meixiu Nafu thinking? Mei Xiunafu said shyly: Didn't Master Ying say that people are the most delicious fresh fruit? Longying looked at her big eyes full of passion, and said: Why did Meixiunafu become so easy to blush? The prince said that he had never seen you blush before. Mei Xiunafu buried her pretty face into his neck, and said in disbelief: Let Mei Xiunafu keep this secret. Longying Daqi said: So you actually have something to hide from me, so recruit it for me immediately. Mei Xiunafu bit his ear with a voice like a gnat and said: Mei Xiunafu thinks!Shame to death! Long Ying said: Don't lie to me, the first time I saw you in Yifu that night, your ears were so red, how could you think about that the first time you saw me? Meixiu Nafu twisted her delicate body, panting: How dare people lie to you, your eyes that looked at people that night seemed to have magical powers, and your whole body was burning when you saw them. At that moment, Meixiu Nafu already knew that she It's Lord Eagle's woman.Lord Eagle!You are very different from other men, you only look at people as if you are enjoying the scenery, without the slightest look of obsession, but you speak the most pleasant words of love.After arriving in Dajiang, Meixiu Nafu will sing and dance for you every night, so that Master Ying will not forget her in three years. Longying was ashamed again, he had just entered the state of becoming a demon at that time, and let Meixiu Nafu see his beautiful side.If you go to see her with your true face, you will definitely be scolded by her heart as a pervert. Maybe this is fate. Like him and Renya, the beauty in Huajian, the little witch and Fairy Jingzhai, there is an invisible force connecting them together, and their future development can only depend on the arrangement of fate.Fate is indeed a mystical and mysterious thing, which can neither be forced nor refused. I don't know how long it took, but someone came to report that Gui Youwei was looking for him.Longying left Meixiunafu's fetish-like delicate body, and let her continue to pursue her dreams and meet guests in the inner hall. Gui Youwei brought Fan Qingzhou's unique weapon, the Snake Head Knife. After Longying played with it for a while, Gui Youwei said: There are many accidents in Bashu.The city defenses and the river pass were extremely strict, and those who could not tell the reason for going to Bashu had to turn back on the Xuyuan boat, and those who sneaked ashore were also forbidden to enter the city.That's why I got customs clearance documents especially for you, Lord Ying, so as to save you trouble. Long Ying said happily: Gui Gangzhu is very thoughtful.But if Fan Qingzhou has these things, will it be suspicious? Gui Youwei said: "There is no reason to raise suspicions. Fan Qingzhou is proficient in the world, and it is easy to get the customs clearance documents."Also, if Master Ying wants to deliver a message, he can find a man named Tie Gu at the Tianfu Old Shop on Shiziqiao Street in Chengdu. He is an old Jianghu, and he is also my eyeliner there. Keeping that in mind, Long Ying nodded and said: If there is no important matter, I will not look for him. Gui Youwei said: "At the dinner just now, something happened. Long Ying said: "What happened?" Gui Youwei said: "Fu Junhou, also known as Gunjun, was also present at the banquet. He came to Yangzhou to compete with the prince. Later, because the prince canceled the contest, we strongly urge Fu Junhou not to take it." Challenge the prince.Unexpectedly, this son was so arrogant and uncontrollable that he repeatedly provoked him verbally. Finally, the prince couldn't hold back and fought with him in the square outside the banquet.I knew that the prince was really angry, the sword was merciless, the martial arts competition was fierce and fierce, fortunately, after a hundred moves, Fu Junhou withdrew his troops and ceased fighting, everyone shook hands and made peace, and no catastrophe was caused. Long Ying said: This is understandable. Gui Youwei shook his head and said: "I am a disciple of Master Ling Zhong. Although my martial arts are far behind my master due to my limited aptitude, my eyesight is no worse than anyone else's."For example, the martial arts competition between Lord Ying and the prince that night was full of love, but the prince and Fu Junhou are different. The prince may not have the intention of killing Fu Junhou, but Fu Junhou probably has the intention to kill the prince, but because of the prince's martial arts High strength makes it difficult for him to succeed. Long Ying said in astonishment: "There is such a thing!" Gui Youwei said: "Fu Junhou looks heroic, but there are subtleties in the rough, and he is not someone who relies on courage."I've always disliked him, but it's purely a human feeling, and it's hard to justify it.But tonight, I watched him go all out, and it became clear that he had a vicious and vicious aura, Master Ying must be careful about this person. Long Ying laughed and said: The more powerful he is, the more interesting he is.well!If it wasn't necessary to conceal his identity, he would fight with him now and kill him. Gui Youwei said: "In Master Ying, for the first time, I really realized what it means to be fearless. He took out a money bag from his arms, put it on the table, and said: Fan Qingzhou is a very capable person, so he spends a lot of money. There are seven gold ingots in it, which are Fan Qingzhou's relics.These gold ingots were bought from a store in Yungui, pretending to be his essential items. Long Ying accepted it with great joy, and said: I will never be polite to this kid's things. Gui Youwei said happily: "If Master Ying wants money, he can do it with a word." Longying said: Yinliang has to be earned by himself to be fun, making money itself is already a kind of fun.The kindness of the lord, the boy appreciates it!From now on, the leader of the gang should stop calling the boy Eagle Lord, just call him Little Eagle.Please please! Gui Youwei smiled and said, "You know that the Holy Majesty called you Ying Ye many times when he talked to me, but I'm not used to calling you a little eagle. Only Ying Ye is worthy of your intimidating spirit."How about walking together?The prince and others have returned to the Fengming, I can cover Master Ying and the blonde beauty to the pier. Longying said he was good and went back to the room. get up! Meixiu Nafu stretched out a pair of snow-white jade arms, wrapped them around his neck, closed her beautiful eyes and whispered: "I'm sleepy!"Need more sleep. Long Ying knows that she sleeps like a human being, and also knows that she is in an indescribable state because of the strange energy of the demon seed during the sexual intercourse. Forcing her to get up is not beneficial or harmful.Concentrated, rolled up the quilt around her fragrant and hot body, just hugged her out of the courtyard, boarded the carriage that Gui Youwei had prepared, and drove out of the governor's mansion. The blond beauty hugged him half asleep and whispered in his ear, speaking in Tubo dialect, which made him feel the need to learn Tubo language for the first time. The convoy crossed the streets and alleys in Yangzhou. There is an unintelligible foreign language in my ears, and I am in a strange and beautiful city. Everything is as unreal as a dream.
