In the Xihou Mansion of Shuzhou Town, two people were playing chess in the backyard. One of them was the young marquis Yue Zhongren. The other was an old man in his fifties, a little fat, bald, and holding a seven or eight-year-old child in his arms.

"Zhongren, you are going to lose this game." As soon as the old man was about to make a move, a guard hurriedly broke into the backyard, "Report to the Marquis, the capital city is urgently reporting." He said that, and handed over a letter.

The old man put down the child in his arms, took the letter, opened it and looked up, and said, "Haha! Old Ghost Wei Yan can't hold it anymore." After that, he handed the letter to Yue Zhongren.

After reading it, Yue Zhongren tore the letter in his hand into pieces, "What do you think about it?"

It turns out that this old man in his fifties is Yue Qunshan, the Xihou of Dawei.

"Well! Wei Yan dies, all the officials of the Wei border will rush to the capital for funeral. I guess I will have to go to the capital in the past few days." Yue Qunshan said

Yue Zhongren asked with some concern, "Will the court take the opportunity to take the blame? According to me, it's better not to go, anyway, you haven't been to the capital for nearly 20 years."

Yue Qunshan smiled and said, "Haha! Wei Yan's death is a big deal. I am not the only one who went there. King Yan, King Qi and the boy next door will also go. Even if the court wants to do it, it will be the four of us who suffer together, it doesn't matter. Besides, Tian Ruoju doesn't have the ability to kill my life."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the guard, "Where is Yunxiao now?"

"Report to the Marquis, Lord Zheng was still in Kaifeng Prefecture many days ago, and now he should be in Xiangyang."

Yue Qunshan narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the Grand Master's chair. "Have you found out who hired the Evil Dragon Gang?"

"Well, Lord Zheng sent back the news that there were traces of the Grand Tutor's Mansion." The guard replied

Grand Tutor's Mansion, Chen Qiaoyuan? What is this old guy trying to do? Did he notice the negotiations with the two kings of Yan and Qi? Thinking of this, his eyes were like Ju and said, "Zhongren, send Wuhen out to me and die Ling Changfeng. And this evil dragon gang dares to take over the work of my Marquis Mansion. It is unforgivable. When Yunxiao goes south, he pays one million taels for the Feiying Gang. The target is to chop up the one-eyed dragon. Since Chen Qiaoyuan wants to play, wouldn't we give people face if we don't play with him?"

"Wuhen is still practicing in Emei. Is it appropriate to send him out at this time?" Yue Zhongren asked

"Send it out. We can't invite the old man in Shushan. Yunxiao alone is afraid that he can't deal with Hedao Sect. No matter what, the negotiations with the two kings cannot be destroyed by any force." Yue Qunshan said firmly.

Yue Zhongren thought for a while and asked again, "Who should I choose from the north and the south?"

He was also a little worried about the choice between the north and the south. Baling is a Shushan Pass. From Shuchuan Road to Yuzhou, he must pass Baling. Zhenxi Army stationed 50,000 troops in Baling and killed Baling Pass, and was afraid that the Shu army would suddenly attack Baling. Shuzhou is too close to the capital and must have a larger depth. Yuzhou and Nanzhao can only choose one. Nanzhao is still in a civil war. The eldest prince has the support of Xinyue, and the second prince has the support of Simon. If it attacks Nanzhao, there is probably not much problem with Simon. Even Xinyue will probably intervene. If it starts a war with Xinyue, it will have to drag half of its troops. The Gui army in Qingzhou must also be guarded. Although Baling Pass is difficult to fight, as long as it is eaten, there will not be so many sequelae. Thinking of this, my eyes suddenly opened, "What is the situation in Zhongren, what is the situation in the desert?"

"Dad asked Mo Nan or Mo Bei?"

"What about Monan, what about Mobei?"

"Monan, Seroy has never retreated. Mobei, the boy next door drove in the army of 700,000."

Yue Qunshan smiled and said, "Yohe! It's amazing! Seven hundred thousand troops, what is this kid doing? Are you fighting a war in the northern desert with Carter? If we attack Baling, how long will it take for the Western Army in Damo Town to return to aid?"

"The Black Knight will be able to come back in less than a month, and the infantry will be at least two months. However, the Black Knight should not be able to move. If the war starts with Carter, if there is no Black Knight, it will be easy to lose." Yue Zhongren replied

"Well, it will take two months for the infantry to return to the aid, which means that we will only have two and a half months to attack Baling at most. If we can't take Baling, we have to withdraw immediately. Forget it, don't consider these things, let's talk about it then." Yue Qunshan finished speaking, picked up the seven or eight-year-old child, "Good grandson, let's go! Grandpa will take you to have delicious food."

Guangzhou, Qi Wang Mansion. A middle-aged man in his thirties said to an old man with bearded feeding chickens, "Father, the Shu people were hunted by the northern underworld, and it will probably take half a month to arrive. However, the child wanted to ask, do we really want to cooperate with Shuzhou? The country belongs to our Wei family. Even if we want to rebel, we should destroy these foreign surnames first."

The old man fed the chickens with a dustpan, reached out and grabbed the millet and sprinkled it into the flock, "Gugu! Come and eat it." Then he put down the dustpan and sat on the small stool behind, "Jinghao, come and sit here."

It turned out that this man was the prince of the King of Qi and the nine masters of the Great Wei Dynasty. No need to ask, the old man with beard next to him should be Wei Yun, the King of Zhennan.

Wei Yun stroked the long beard on his chin and said, "Do you think you can't cooperate with Yue. Do you think that you and Jingmin are surnamed Wei, so you think that this country belongs to our Wei family?"

Wei Jinghao nodded, "I've really thought about it like this."

Wei Yun smiled and said, "Haha! Jing Hao, you are thirty years old this year. Don't always run to the military camp. Sometimes you think about political issues. The so-called royal family is the emperor in Beijing. Since the day of leaving Beijing, we have been no longer royal family. For the court, we are no longer royal family. We are all vassal forces in the court. You must understand that this country is the Wei family, but not our Wei family. We are just a coincidence. Wei Ping and I have no relationship with the court. We are both targets of suppression. Why do we still talk about Wei? If we are defeated, do you think Jingmin will let you live a life?"

Wei Jinghao hesitated for a moment, "I understand."

"Haha! It's okay, as long as your generation loses Jing Quan (the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty), everything will be fair. Compared to Jing Xian, you have to work harder and be together as Jiujie. I don't want my son to be inferior to the son of Wei Ping's old ghost."

"Well, I understand. In terms of conspiracy, I admit that it is indeed inferior to him. But when it comes to leading troops to fight, I can guarantee that the two Wei Jingxian are not his opponents." Wei Jinghao said confidently.

Wei Yun was very happy when he said this, and laughed and said, "Okay, Haoer can have such confidence and will not insult my title of the No. 1 general of the Guangdong Army. At present, the major forces are our strongest. In fact, Song Xi is the biggest variable, and the old immortal means are the most. Chen Qiaoyuan has fought with him for more than ten years. On the surface, he feels like he is 55, and there are countless hidden secret tricks hidden inside. So it is necessary to unite one side. Song Xi is undestroyed, and I feel uneasy."

"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to Jingzhou to pick up the Shushan Sword Saint, don't be killed by Chen Qiaoyuan."

The Changzhou Beggars' Sect secretly subdivided the ruling, "Report to the Great Elder, there is news in Jingzhou."

"What news?" Wang Laogou asked

"The traces of Zheng Yunxiao were found in Xiangyang half a month ago."

"What? Have you found the specific situation in the Xiangyang branch?" Wang Laogou had just gone from Central Plains to Changzhou, and he didn't stop all the way. After crossing the Yangtze River, he stayed at the branch for a few days. He was originally going to wait for news from the gang leader, but now he found Zheng Yunxiao's traces. He met Zheng Yunxiao in Luzhou, Donghai two months ago. Unexpectedly, he went south and Zheng Yunxiao was also heading south. He went to Donghai to investigate the secret increase of troops from Zhendong Wang. He didn't know what Zheng Yunxiao went to Donghai to do. But now Zheng Yunxiao was also heading south with him. Obviously, his target was in Guangzhou. It's not good. The news must be sent back to the capital as soon as possible. After thinking about it, he picked up the paper and pen and wrote a letter, "Come on, go to the capital and hand it over to the gang leader. You must not waste time on the road."

He was also a little worried. Zheng Yunxiao went south and obviously wanted to go to the south. There was really any agreement between Shuzhou and Guangzhou to negotiate, which was very unfavorable to Yuzhou. Now the gang leader also wanted to go south to negotiate. If Shu and Guangjiangzhou met in advance, the gang leader's negotiation plan would definitely be invalid. No, you can't stay in Changzhou. "Come, set off for Ganzhou immediately."

Wang Laogou also considered going to Ganzhou. The Hunan Army occupied Hunan and Ganzhou for decades was to block the way to the north of Zhennanwang. Since Zheng Yunxiao's goal was Guangzhou, he must pass by Ganzhou. To investigate Zheng Yunxiao's purpose for Guangzhou, he had to go to Ganzhou. At present, the king of Zhennanwang was unable to tell whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he could not go directly to Guangzhou.

So what is going on in the East China Sea at this time?

In the reception hall of the Yanwang Mansion in Luzhou, a fat old man with a face full of flesh sat on the main seat of the living room. Five or six people sat on both sides of the living room. The first person in the left seat was a scholar in his thirties. It looked a bit like the fat old man in his thirties. There were four people sitting on the right, the first person was a young man, about twenty-six or seven years old, and the three people behind were all about forty years old.

The fat old man first said, "Xian'er, this is Mr. Huang Mingyi from Huangjiabao, Liangshan. The three behind are all masters of Huangjiabao. Please give the three masters a cup of tea."

It turned out that the man dressed by the scholar was Wei Jingxian as Wei Jinghao mentioned, and he was also the little prince of the Yan Prince's Mansion, and the third master of the nine masters of the Great Wei Dynasty. Wei Jingxian picked up the teacup, "Jingxian has met three masters and brother Huang."

"Criminal, you are kind to you" said the three masters

Huang Mingyi also picked up the teacup and said, "You are polite, Prince."

Wei Ping continued, "Recently, Commander Qian from the East China Sea Spy Inspector encountered some trouble, thanks to the help of the young Fortress Lord. I wonder what the young Fortress Lord has requested? Even if I ask, if my palace can do it, it will definitely help you."

Huang Mingyi clasped his fists with his hands, "The Caomin thanked the prince. I, Huangjiabao, was in Liangshan, naturally wanted to help the prince. I, Huang Yi, have ambitions and do not want to live in Liangshan for the rest of my life. I came to ask the prince for his job and hoped that the prince would take it in." As he said that, he stood up and gave Wei Ping the courtesy of the king and his subjects.

Wei Ping laughed out loud, "Hahahaha! Get up quickly, there is no need to be too polite. Young people have such ambitions, it's great! My Prince Yan's Mansion needs you young people with lofty ambitions. There are many masters in the royal palace, but they are not enough compared to the south. Now Qian Liang is entangled by the uncle's mansion again. If Huangjiabao can be effective, then why should I be afraid of the uncle's mansion in the future? In this battle in the capital, although Qian Liang's subordinates suffered heavy losses, they still brought back the news that my royal brother has passed away. Two months ago, Zheng Yunxiao, the Marquis' Mansion, came to see me and discussed the joint military service, and I agreed. I will set off to Beijing soon, and the royal palace will be taken care of by Xian'er, so Xiao Huang will be the deputy commander at Qian Liang first. What do you think?"

When Huang Mingyi heard that he wanted to be under Qian Liang, he frowned. He had a lofty ambitions. How could he be under others if he was able to command him? He could only be alone. Then he looked up and said, "Prince, my subordinates don't want to be the deputy commander. Can I let my subordinates follow His Highness?"

"⊙?⊙shock?" How could Wei Ping not know Huang Mingyi's thoughts after being an old fox for decades? Since he has a lofty ambitions, there can only be one wise ruler. Except for the Xian'er in the entire Yan Palace, Huang Mingyi will probably not be willing to surrender to anyone.

"Well! Yes, but you can't let you have no position. The third-rank position is gone. Are you willing to go from the third-rank? If you are willing, I will set up another branch from today - the Inspector Department. You and all the masters of Huangjiabao are under the command of the Inspector Department. You, Mr. Huang, are the commander of the Inspector Department."

Huang Mingyi is definitely willing, so he still needs to ask? It is obvious that he started a new job for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He would not care whether he was a third-rank or a third-rank, because from then on, he had only one boss - His Royal Highness Jingxian.

"I am willing to do so, thank you for your help."

"Hahahaha, you guy, okay, get up. Ask Xian'er well in the future, just don't let me down."

"I will do my best to assist the prince and never let the prince down."

Wei Ping smiled and looked at Wei Jingxian and said, "Xian'er, what's wrong? Since Xiao Huang has been in charge of you, why don't you help him up?"

Wei Jingxian didn't need his father to remind him, so he hurried over and helped Huang Yi get up, "Brother Huang get up quickly, there is no need to kneel down in the future."

"Thank you"

So what about Liu Yi and Li Da Crack now?

Three days ago, as soon as he and Li Dazi arrived in the capital, Zhao Chunsan said to him: Emperor Tianyuan has passed away.

This made him angry. You said you were dead old man, you would not die sooner or later, but you would die when he arrived in the capital. Well, you would not have to go south now, wait for the king of Southern to go north. Wei Yan's death is a big deal. As long as all the vassal states have not rebelled, you would have to go back to Beijing to attend the funeral. Okay, you don't have to hide your identity now. The suffering along the way is in vain.

Sitting in the branch of the Beggars' Sect, I was extremely depressed. I originally thought that this old man could last a few more months. This is awesome! "Old Li, go and get me a bottle of wine, and I'm just making a beggar chicken."

Li Dazi also knew that he was in a bad mood. "Well, gang leader, I have been to the capital for a few days. Isn't you going out to play in the capital so prosperous? What's the point of staying in our beggar's nest every day? Why don't I accompany the gang leader to the fireworks alley?"

He didn't have the heart to visit the kiln now? He didn't know what the war in the desert was, but there was such a big incident in the mainland. He sighed and said, "Oh! Look at my outfit, can I let me in the kiln? Forget it, I'll drink some wine here. Also, look at this broken place. Ah? The annual expenses of the capital in the capital are almost one-third of the entire Beggars' Gang's expenses, and you're making it like this? Not to mention the civilian areas, can you even choose a place? You have to build some points next to the garbage dump. It's so refreshing if you smell this."

He is in a bad mood now, and Li Dazi didn't know how to tell him. After thinking about it, he said, "Gangmaster, this capital is different from other places. Other places can make bright spots, but this capital is really not good. Last year, more than 100 points were pulled out by Meng Wuji. Now this place is the safest and it is not easy to attract the attention of other forces."

"Okay, okay, I'll complain, and you explained a lot to me. Go and get some bar for me and make my subordinates feel a little tender." After that, he lay down into the haystack and went to bed.

Li Dazi looked at him, shook his head, and then waved to the door, "You two go to the largest Jufulou in Beijing to get a jar of Qinghong and drunk, and are sillying a beggar chicken."

"Yes, the Great Elder."

"Hey, wait, remember, it's not begging, it's just buying it for money." As he said that, he lost fifty taels of silver.
