Peach and Plum Spring Breeze and a Glass of Wine

Chapter 171 A Gentleman Is Not an Instrument

The setting sun was like blood, and most of the blazing flames of the Great Zaifu turned into thick smoke and ashes.

Yang Ge, Yang Tiansheng, Li Jincheng, Xiang Wudi, and Zhou Fu stood side by side on the high ground of Dazaifu, looking down at the Japanese slaves who unleashed their beastly nature, laughing, shouting, and arrogantly turning buildings into fires. Silent for a long time.

"Just come here!"

Yang Ge suddenly said, with a faint smile on his face, he said softly: "We have removed the most outstanding name in Xihai Road, and the remaining small village chiefs are not worth mentioning. They want revenge, get rich, or even It’s enough to plant the flag and open the hall. It’s up to Zhou Fu and the others to accompany me the rest of the way.”

Yang Tiansheng glanced at him angrily: "Zhou Fu and the others can go, why can't we three brothers go?"

Yang Ge patted his shoulder and chuckled: "You are all heroes who have entered the world. What you see is friendship, justice and good. Zhou Fu and the others are officers and soldiers. They see the pros and cons, strength and weakness. I will take Zhou Fu and the others to massacre the city. , the imperial court will help them carry out the murders they have committed. I will take you to massacre the city, and you will have to carry the crimes of yourselves... Just stop here. If you go any further, it will not be good for you. You are upright and high-spirited. Those who follow me out to sea, I must bring you back with dignity and high morale."

The three brothers looked at Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fuchong nodded to the three brothers.

The three brothers looked at Yang Ge again, and Li Jincheng asked, "What about you?"

"me……"

Yang Ge replied naturally: "I have to continue to take revenge!"

The three brothers showed a question mark face in unison: "You haven't killed enough yet?"

Yang Ge smiled, smoothed the messy hair around his ears, and said softly: "I haven't even started yet, how can I get enough..."

The originally somewhat feminine movements, combined with the thick smoke and the bloody setting sun that filled the city at this moment, had a bit of unspeakable cruelty in them. Combined with the understatement of his words, even those who were most familiar with Yang Ge Yang Tiansheng felt a little shuddering in his heart at this moment.

Yang Tiansheng moved his lips and hesitated for a long time, then sighed softly, patted Yang Ge on the shoulder and whispered: "Second brother, based on the friendship between us two brothers, I shouldn't have advised you to put away the knife... But, please forgive me. Be kind to others, and to let others go is to let yourself go. Don't be too persistent, as it can easily lead to obsession. "

Li Jincheng and Xiang Wudi stood aside and nodded in unison.

Yang Ge looked at Yang Tiansheng in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that such philosophical words came from this guy's mouth.

But immediately, he smiled and said: "I know exactly what I am doing...Looking closely, I come to trouble these Japanese pirates, and there is something unreasonable in it, but who said I was born at the wrong time? If I had been born in the era when Japanese pirates harmed my hometown, of course I would have gone to trouble those Japanese pirates, but if I was not born in that era, I would have had no choice but to trouble my ancestors!”

He thought for a while and added secretly: 'Actually, it's not unreasonable. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi ended the Warring States Period and unified Japan, didn't he send 100,000 troops to land from Korea and invade China? ’

He felt that the ambition of the little Japanese to devour China might have started with the old Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Now that he came here to break Japan's spine in advance, even if this was not considered legitimate defense, it could still be considered an emergency evacuation, right? Grandmaster Chen, the founder of unrestricted fighting, didn't he believe in driving a dump truck to kill his opponent on the eve of a duel? You can't really wait until everyone else breaks into your house before rushing out for revenge, right? This kind of thinking is simply stupid!

After understanding this, his already rock-solid mind suddenly became more confident!

But when the three brothers listened to his words, they always felt that something was not right.

Yang Tiansheng thought carefully and corrected in a low voice: "Did you say something wrong? These Japanese pirates should be the gray grandsons of the Japanese pirates who harmed your hometown..."

Yang Ge didn't say anything more. He took a deep breath and said, "That's it!"

He pointed at the slave army Japanese pirates in the city who were more beasts than animals: "After this battle, the slave army has been completely formed, and their animal nature has been fully released. Their scale will only get bigger and bigger, and their actions will only get worse." Come and cross the fire. In your current state, you cannot withstand such a Shura field."

The three brothers followed his gaze and quickly looked away.

After Xiang Wudi pondered for a moment, he said: "We can continue eastward without following you, but it is impossible to leave. We brothers came together and must go back together... Second brother, whatever you want to do, just let it go. Go ahead, we will guard your retreat. If the odds are against yours, just take Lao Zhou and the others back. If the sky falls, we brothers will carry it on our shoulders!"

Li Jincheng nodded in agreement: "Although Mr. Xiang's words have always been unpleasant, I am happy to hear what I said today."

Yang Tiansheng also said: "Young Master Xiang is right."

Yang Ge nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's do it...Old Zhou, how is the exploration of Japan's mineral resources?"

Zhou Fu immediately responded: "Second Master, there are three silver mines on Xihai Road where we have clues so far. People from the West Factory have already rushed over with guides to conduct on-the-spot investigation. Calculating the time, the latest is early morning the day after tomorrow. I can receive the news... But it seems that this inconspicuous area has a lot of gold and silver minerals! "

He looked at the Japanese slaves who were plundering the city. The four of them followed his gaze and saw that there were Japanese slaves everywhere transporting carts of gold and silver products on carts...

"What a good thing!"

Yang Ge replied: "No matter how much we brothers interfere, they can only disrupt Japan for a while. Only if the imperial court is willing to step in and exert its strength can we hope to bring this territory back into my Chinese territory... Then we will wait for two more days to set off." Well, please be more careful these two days and don’t let your dog develop the habit of guarding his food!”

Zhou Fu's heart moved, he nodded and said: "It's clear, it's clear!"

Yang Ge turned around and waved to the four of them: "Let's go, find a place to have a drink, and figure out how to run Xikaidō in the future."

It is easier to destroy than to build.

Dazaifu has been inherited for eight or nine hundred years before it reached its current scale and grand occasion.

It only took the servant army one day and one night to completely destroy Dazaifu.

This day and night of raging not only brought back nearly one million taels of silver worth of goods and food for Yang Ge and others, but also doubled the number of servants from the 3,500 who entered the city, and their strength once approached 8,000.

Although nearly one-half of these eight thousand people are slaves with only one wooden gun, these slaves are top-notch cattle and horses without families and jobs. They can quickly become qualified soldiers after experiencing one or two bloody battles.

There are so many bastards who dominate the pool in Honshu, Japan, and what they most do not lack is the opportunity for bloody battles.

After Zhou Fu reorganized 8,000 servants, Yang Ge selected 1,500 servants for Yang Tiansheng, Li Jincheng, and Xiang Wudi, and "fulfilled his promise" and promoted three smart Japanese pirates who were not very smart. A first-level samurai was left to lead the army of 1,500 servants, and the land around Dazaifu was entrusted to them...

Immediately afterwards, the seventy-two warriors divided into two groups.

Yang Ge, together with the imperial court and the White Lotus Sect, led 6,500 Japanese slaves and marched eastward with great momentum, aiming directly at the Maguan Strait. From there, they would cross the sea and rush into Honshu, sweeping across the entire Japan. Cutting Japan's backbone also attracted firepower and bought time for the three brothers Yang Tiansheng, Li Jincheng and Xiang Wudi who were farming in the rear.

The three groups of Mingjiao, Lianlianwu and the Xiang family led an army of 1,500 Japanese pirates and marched southward with great enthusiasm. Their troops were directed towards Bunzen Bungo and other small countries in the south of Chizen Province. Their goal was to unify the Western Sea Route. They would conquer the Western Sea The road was used to enclose the territory for the seventy-two warriors who made the eastward expedition. At the same time, it also tried to build the Xikai Road into a bridgehead and base camp for China to march into Japan.

Time flies and it’s mid-October.

Shen Fa and Wei Heng, who were far away in Luoyang, finally received the first-hand information from the Japanese Grand Zaifu.

It was this piece of information that made both of them feel horrified. No one knew how to send this information to the imperial court...

"Snapped!"

After Wei Heng was silent for a long time, he suddenly slapped the armrest of the seat, stood up, pointed at Shen Fa's nose and cursed: "Can you regard this kind of capable minister and tycoon in troubled times as a dead snake or a toad without any ambition? Are you blind all over your embroidered clothes?"

Shen Fa skillfully wiped the saliva from his face, glanced at the dragon pattern protruding from the inner edge of Wei Heng's side table from the corner of his eye, and thought to himself: 'How did this damn eunuch become so smart? ’

"When are you going to change your bad habit of blaming someone else when things go wrong?"

He calmly picked up the tea bowl and leaned back: "As the official testifies, that guy is no longer one of my embroidered guards. What does his actions have to do with this court?"

"The Miscellaneous family is blaming the blame?"

Wei Heng laughed angrily at him, sat back on the Grand Master's chair and imitated his imitation, picked up the tea bowl and leaned back: "That's it, go to the imperial palace and discuss this matter with the officials yourself. The Za family doesn't know anything, and no one knows. know!"

"You also said you didn't blame others?"

Shen Fa put down the tea bowl leisurely: "The man was sent by your West Factory together with my Embroidery Guard. As far as my Embroidery Guard received the information, your West Factory didn't hear anything about it? Then the officials should praise you for your loyalty in the West Factory Are you going to accuse your West Factory of being a loser and a loser from top to bottom?"

Wei Heng was furious. He slapped the armrest of the seat and suddenly stood up again: "You..."

"Okay, okay!"

Shen Fa waved his hand in advance and interrupted his combo: "We are all vixens with thousands of years of experience. Why do you want me to pretend to be a young lady... Let's be honest, what do you want to do?"

Wei Heng took the opportunity to put away his angry expression, lowered his head to drink tea and said calmly: "The Za family has made it very clear that I, the West Factory, don't know anything or anyone!"

Shen Fa: "Do you want to withhold this information?"

Wei Heng: "Do you really want to send this information to the imperial court?"

Shen Fa: "How can we hide such a big thing for a while, and for the rest of our lives?"

Wei Heng: "You are not a fledgling chick who doesn't know the heights of the world. Do you have to tell the Zajia family clearly?"

Shen Fa slowly frowned and said softly: "But this matter is no better than before. In the past, the officials were willing to cooperate with us and turned a blind eye. If we join forces to deceive the officials about this again... I'm afraid the fate of you and me will be different." How much better than Dou E!"

Wei Heng also sighed softly: "Then what can be done? If this information is sent to the officials, it is tantamount to instigating the officials to fight with that little bastard again... You don't need to tell me, the Za family can also guess that. The little bastard must be on the verge of reaching the level of a peerless master. The former Tong Wu Master died, and we both showed up and worked hard to stabilize the current situation, but there is no way it will be messed up again!"

"Then the little bastard may not be willing to betray Mr. Shen's face for a second time, right?"

After he said this, Shen Fa's legs began to hurt slightly.

He put the tea bowl on the tea table beside him and sighed heavily... The information sent from Dazaifu gave an exhaustive report on their series of experiences from the time they landed in Hirado Castle to breaking into Dazaifu. It was very complicated and the description was very confusing, but the two of them only picked out three words from between the lines: Dragon Slaying Technique!

The series of measures taken by Yang Ge in Japan are genuine and honest dragon-slaying skills!

They say they are not afraid of gangsters who know martial arts, but they are afraid that gangsters can know martial arts and understand culture!

A lonely master who knows the art of slaying dragons... No emperor can tolerate his existence!

A closer look shows that both Yang Potian of the Ming Sect and Tang Qing of the White Lotus Sect are both ambitious and talented people.

The Ming Cult and the White Lotus Cult have never been a help to them, but a constraint.

They themselves know this, but how can this kind of restraint be broken by others?

It's like everyone knows that being alone means you have no weakness, but who doesn't yearn for the warmth of relatives and family?

And Yang Ge...has absolutely no shortcomings.

But the more he has no shortcomings, the more the emperor cannot tolerate his existence...

Even if he did act harmless now, it would not dispel a king's doubts about him.

Because people's hearts are fickle.

Who can guarantee that he will not rebel now or in the future?

Even if the world of the Wei Dynasty is peaceful and the country's power is growing day by day, and the emperor is at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if the empire is prosperous, this scourge cannot be solved...

In the future, when the Emperor Yulong is buried in the sky, the Lord's young ministers are suspicious, and the country is in decline, who can do anything to get hold of Yang Ge?

"Based on what I know about that guy, that guy is indeed not a tycoon with ambitions to conquer the world."

After a long silence, Shen Fa spoke again and said, "But what my father-in-law said is indeed reasonable."

Wei Heng glanced at him and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Fa shook his head and said: "What I mean is that you and I really can't hide this matter from the official family. The more we hide this kind of thing, the worse it will be. And the official family's... wariness of that guy is indeed not something you and I can decide. , For the current plan, only you and I take over the task of dealing with that guy, control the fight within a certain range, and prevent the situation from expanding! "

When Wei Heng heard this, he immediately jumped up from the Grand Master's chair as if his butt was on fire: "If you want to seek death, don't drag the Zajia family with you. You and I can deal with that thing? Do you believe that that guy broke into the capital? If he chops off our heads one by one, the officials will praise him for the good chop and the toad's croaking?"

Shen Fa couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him: "When will you change this bad habit of being impatient? Can you listen to what I have to say before getting anxious?"

Wei Heng refused to sit back on the chair, crossed his arms and said, "You say it, Zajia listens!"

Shen Fa took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "There are many types of treatment. That guy is a stubborn donkey who won't be led away and is dragging himself backwards. Let's stroke his fur and keep giving him some pain. Add shackles and tie his hands and feet bit by bit..."

Wei Heng looked at him doubtfully: "For example?"

Shen Fa: "For example... isn't he being rehabilitated at his home? Do you think we can persuade the officials to let a princess go and be his maidservant?"

Wei Heng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and gave him a thumbs-up with sincerity: "Wow, wow, wow, you are worthy of being a 'jade-faced fox'. These despicable means are so proficient and perfect." Traces!”

Shen Fa: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

Wei Heng: "Of course I'm complimenting you!"

Shen Fa: "I will come up with the idea, you can handle this matter. You are from the palace, so it is convenient for you to speak!"

Wei Heng sneered: "Don't even think about it, do you really think that the Za family doesn't know why that little bastard came to Beijing and beat you up in the street?"

The corners of Shen Fa's eyes twitched, and he simply clapped his hands and said, "Whether I love you or not, if you really pinch me, it's not my ancestor who will die!"

Wei Heng was angry: "You..."

Shen Fa leaned back tactically: "What am I? You are the one who wants me to give the advice, and you are the one who takes the lead. What? I do all the bad things, and you are the good one? Why don't you put on embroidered clothes and go sing? "

Wei Heng thought for a while and had to swallow his anger: "The Zajia can handle this matter, but how can you be sure that that little bastard will definitely return to his home? The Zajia thought, he has no reason to go back anyway. ?”

Shen Fa waved his hand: "Don't ask about smart people's affairs."

Wei Heng continued to swallow his anger: "What else?"

Shen Fa spread his hands and said, "No more."

Wei Heng raised his eyebrows suddenly: "Is it gone now?"

Shen Fa: "It doesn't cost much to recruit people. As long as you use this move well, you can tie him firmly to the imperial throne with just one move. Everyone will be happy. There is no need to use other moves at all...Moreover Come on, do you really think that guy is as unintelligent as you? It’s very difficult to make him not see the flaws in this move. Do you still want to use all the skills at your disposal? Do you believe that he will turn around as soon as he comes home? Just run to the capital?"

Wei Heng slowly frowned: "The truth is what you said...but being a relative of the emperor is not a good position."

Shen Fa rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "Let's do it one at a time. It's not a good position to be a relative of the emperor. Could it be that the son-in-law of a noble family or the son-in-law of a powerful person is a good position?"

Wei Heng thought about it for a while, sat back in his chair and sighed: "This guy, maybe it's better to be incompetent..."

Hearing his mumbling, Shen Fa inexplicably thought of the first time he saw Yang Ge in the past. That guy had no desire to live and looked like a puddle of mud. He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
