Chapter 10 Agreement
I sat calmly in the seat, my face still not changing, my heart was still beating, and I still looked at Dugu Sheng with a bright smile.
When Dugu Sheng saw that I could calm down as usual when he heard him say my real name, Dugu Sheng couldn't help but look suspicious and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Xiaoyao answer this general? Did I say this general wrong?"
I smiled without answering and asked, "How can the general determine that I am a Xiaoyaoke?"
Dugu Sheng obviously didn't expect me to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The young master lost his trace after defeating Li Zitong. Then, a young hero suddenly appeared outside the city of Jiangdu, who claimed to be Han Lei's distant nephew of the boss of "Fumanlou". However, this is reasonable and makes people suspicious.
Haha, however, the two wives of the young master are each one of the rare stunning women in the world, and have an amazing temperament. One of them is the first disciple of Fu Cailin, the Goryeo ‘Master Yijian’. How could a woman with such a noble status marry Han Lei, the nephew of a wealthy businessman?”
I smiled and said, "Maybe Han Lei's nephew is very skilled in martial arts and extremely handsome, so it is not surprising that he welcomes the hearts of beautiful women?"
Han Lei smiled after hearing this and continued: "The emperor's three expeditions to Goryeo in the past brought endless pain and disasters to Goryeo. Even ordinary people of Goryeo hated the Han people to the core. Not to mention Fu Cailin's first disciple, this arrogant woman who was ashamed of all living beings in the world. If she had not had the strength that could move Fu Cailin and the agreement of the "Yi Jian Master", how could she dare to commit herself to the young master? Xiaoyao Young Master disappeared from the middle of the journey for three months, and this time was not long after the young master met the Goryeo woman. Her figure also disappeared from the land of the Central Plains. Haha, how can the young master explain these coincidences?"
Dugu Sheng looked at me with his eyes fixed on his face, his face full of lust.
I also looked at him with a smile, and said nothing.
Dugu Sheng shrugged helplessly and continued, "Okay, even these are coincidentals. I still have some things that I don't know, so I want to ask the young master.
The situation in Jiangdu is extremely chaotic now. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, my eyes are on every corner of the city and the well-known figures' mansion. "Fumanlou" is the largest restaurant in Jiangdu, and Han Lei is an important figure in Jiangdu. In addition to operating the restaurant, his business also involves weapons, food, etc. How can we ignore such a big man? It's not because I intentionally monitored it, but because the situation is forced. Please forgive me for this. I don't think Brother Han will blame me."
I nodded to express my understanding.
Dugu Sheng smiled and continued, "So I know the people who come in and out of the 'Fuman Tower'. The young master entered the 'Fuman Tower' yesterday as Han Lei's nephew, but today Han Lei suddenly had a handsome and unrestrained turn of the year. Why don't people doubt it?
Haha, the so-called wise man will make a mistake if he has a thousand worries. This time, the young master is trying to cover up the truth."
I applauded and praised: "Jiang is still old, and General Dugu is indeed well-known. Not bad, I am the one who is Xiaoyaoke. I will go straight to the point and no longer go around in circles. I have to discuss important matters when I ask the general to come this time."
Seeing that I had admitted my identity, Dugu Sheng smiled slightly, leaned on his back and asked, "I wonder what is important to you, the young master?"
I also drank a glass of wine and said, "From my understanding of the noble family, I should have a deep grudge with the Yuwen family. I think the general also knows that Yuwen family is the one who is willing to kill him, so we both have a common purpose in this regard, that is, to destroy the Yuwen family."
After hearing this, Dugu Sheng's eyes flashed with joy, which seemed to be moved by my proposal, but this was a big deal after all. With the current power of the Yuwen clan, it would not be possible to destroy him overnight. Without careful deployment, it would be impossible. Maybe the big snake would not succeed and be bitten by the snake. And the Yuwen clan is a poisonous snake. If it is bitten by it, it will be seriously injured even if it is not killed. If it is not good, it may be wiped out and there will be no chance of turning over.
Therefore, although Dugu Sheng was excited, he did not dare to show it in his mouth. He asked cautiously: "Everyone knows the grudges between us and the Yuwen clan, and the young master knows that there is nothing strange. Yes, we really want to eliminate the Yuwen clan's forces in the court and in the world. Even if we cannot completely eliminate them, we will still be disabled and make him lose the strength to fight for the world. But this cannot be done by saying it. What kind of tricks do you have to eliminate?"
"What an old fox, I asked, knowingly." I said in my heart. Of course I couldn't say that, and said with a smile: "Since the general has the intention to cooperate with me, I should show some sincerity. Why should I hide it? Since I have found the general, I will have a certain understanding of the general, otherwise how can I dare to take risks rashly."
Dugu Sheng's face turned red when I said it, and his expression became a little unnatural. He thought for a while and said, "Haha, okay. Since the young master said that, I will not hide it. We have received news from the Baling Gang that the two sworn brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the young master, and a girl, had already arrived in the gang, and they seemed to be old acquaintances with Xianggui's son Xiang Yushan.
The two young masters Kou Xu had agreed to send the account books they stole from the Dongming Sect to Jiangdu and hand them over to the emperor. The account books recorded the number and dates of the weapons they secretly purchased by Yuwen Valve, which could be regarded as the basis for their plot to rebel. At that time, the emperor would be furious and punish the Yuwen Valve. We can take the opportunity to catch them all in one go."
After hearing this, I said in my heart: "It was indeed this move. No wonder he died in Yu Wenji's hands. Alas, it's a pity that he still had fantasies about Yang Guang for his lifetime, and he was not as good as Dugu Feng's gaze. If Dugu Sheng was the leader of the stake, the Dugu family would have been removed from the world long ago."
I glanced at Dugu Sheng and said seriously, "If the general really thought that a book of accounts could cost his life, then your Dugu family would be defeated."
Dugu Sheng was shocked and said in surprise: "What? How could the young master say this? Please tell me in detail."
I said, "The general is smart and confused for a while. Not to mention how close the Yuwen clan and the imperial court are, just relying on Yu culture and the current military strength in Yangzhou in his hands is enough to make the general unable to turn over."
Dugu Sheng laughed after hearing this and said, "I don't know that the guards of the emperor have been following me for many years, so there will be no problem. Beyond the guards are the garrisons of Jiangdu and the imperial guards who came forward with the emperor. The former is under the command of Yuchi Sheng, while the latter is under the command of Sima Dekan. Although Yuhua and the two brothers are now in full swing, neither of them directly have the right to directly interfere in the army. Yuchi Sheng is indeed inclined to Yuhua, but it was the past. I have sent a confidant in private to reach an agreement with him. After defeating Yuhua, he will take over the position and title of Yuhua. And he is sending troops to work with us inside and outside to deal with Yuhua."
After hearing this, I laughed and said, "The General is very wrong. Yuchi Sheng's actions must be to confuse the general. Does the General know Yuchi Sheng's true identity?"
Dugu Sheng shook his head in confusion.
I said, "Before Yang Jian established the Great Sui Dynasty, he was a minister of Northern Zhou. Later, after Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yuwen Yun died of illness, Yang Jian colluded with Zheng Yi, the official of the Inner History, and Liu Fang, the official of the Yuzheng period, torture the imperial edict to lead Yang Jian into the dynasty on the grounds that Yuwen Dan, who succeeded to the throne, was young. A year later, Yang Jian forced Emperor Jing to abdicate and proclaim himself emperor.
The world of the Yuwen surname of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Yang surname.
However, because the power of the Yuwen surname was deeply rooted, even though Yang Jian became emperor, he still failed to uproot the Yuwen Dou family. Until his son Yang Guang became emperor, the Yuwen surname became stronger again.
Strictly speaking, although Yuwen seems to be loyal to Sui, he actually only buried hatred deep in his heart.
After Yang Jian seized his status, three ministers who supported the Yuwen family in Northern Zhou raised an army to rebel, namely the General Manager of Xiangzhou, the General Manager of Zhengzhou, Sima Yingnan, and the General Manager of Yizhou, Wang Qian. These people were either related to the Yuyuwen family, or were loyal to the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Among them, Yuchi Zhou was Yuchi Sheng's cousin, which shows how close the relationship between Yuchi Sheng and Yuwen and the two were. How could a mere title impress him?
His move must be one of Yuwen Zhiji's plans to paralyze the general and let the general relax his vigilance, so that they can take the opportunity to take the opportunity.
By the way, I would like to reveal the news to the general. Sima Dekan is not a good person. As I expected, he has now been invested in Yu Wenji. Therefore, Yu Wenji has almost controlled all the troops in Yangzhou. Even if the general has Wanxiong Army in his hands, it may not be able to defeat Yu Wenji, let alone relying on that small account book to defeat Yu Wenji. At that time, maybe Yu Wenji will bite him back."
"What? Sima De invested in Yu Wenji?" Dugu Shengming stood up, slapped the wine glass on the table with a palm, and said angrily: "He's fucking, I'm just treating him as my confidant to promote him. He dares to betray me. Humph, I'll see if I won't kill him when I go back!"
I hurriedly said, "General, please calm down. This move must not be done. This will only alert the snake, and make Yu Wen and his guardian will be very detrimental to our actions."
Dugu Sheng was obviously still angry, and his tone of speaking was very stiff, and he said to me: "What do you think should you do?"
I calmly persuaded him back to my seat, poured a glass of wine for him, and said, "General, you don't have to pay attention to Sima Dekan. As far as I know, many generals in the imperial guards are old subordinates. The general can start with them. Before Sima Dekan completely controls the imperial guards, send a confidant to secretly inform them, oath to be loyal to Sima Dekan on the surface, and secretly be the general's supporter, so that they can undermine Sima Dekan's military power. Once the matter is uprising, they will be the key to the general's success."
Dugu Sheng also calmed down and thought about it carefully. After a long time, he said, "Young Master's plan is very good, but how should we take this first step?"
I smiled and said, "The first step is to use the account book as bait, fishing for Yu Culture and this big fish to take the bait. The general must arrange for me and my two little brothers to meet the emperor."
"What?" Dugu Sheng said in a lost voice: "You want to see the Lord."
I said, "That's right, and the general will reveal this matter to Concubine Xiao through Zhu Gui'er's mouth, so that she will reveal it to Yu Wenhua. In this way, we can force him to rebel. The general can arrange his troops in advance and capture them all at once. I just hope that the general can hand over Yu Wenhua to the subordinates for handling. As for the others, the general will decide."
After hearing this, Dugu Sheng's eyes shone brightly, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. He suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, that's it. From now on, we will be partners." After that, he stretched out his right hand, and I stood up, laughed, stretched out his right hand, and held it with him.
