Chapter 21 Section fifteen

On August 12th, dawn is approaching, and there are wind ponds. Guided by Xi Yuan, Yi Tianzhan walked into Xi Yan's study room, and saw a large mat spread out on the floor, with paper scrolls scattered everywhere piled up half a person's height, and Xi Yan was browsing and sorting them one by one with a candle. "I thought you were a warrior, so you must not be good at clerical work." Yi Tianzhan said. "I thought Yuren also had to sleep, so he wouldn't visit people's homes in the early hours of the morning." Xi Yan was still concentrating on the scrolls, and moved them to the side to make an open space, "Move the tables and chairs outside Alright, just sit down."

Yi Tianzhan sat beside him, silent for a while: "It's a bit presumptuous to visit at this time, but I will leave Nanhuai tomorrow night." Xi Yan was slightly taken aback, slowly put down the scroll in his hand, and raised his head: "Is it at this special time? Apart from the new funeral of Young Master Chen's father, the information I got is that the situation in Ningzhou is in chaos. In addition, Qingyang Shuo Beibei, the old enemy of the Ministry, has recently purchased a large number of iron knives and iron stirrups from merchants, all of which are paid in gold. There will be a new round of actions in the month. This time we may be forced to fight them head-on. At this time, you, as the suzerain of a sect, suddenly leave, and I will lack a helping hand."

"What are these volumes?" Yi Tianzhan asked. "In the past 20 years, I have found a total of 1,164 people in the Eastern Continent. I have laid a large network throughout the entire Eastern Continent. If we need it, we only need to send out a letter with an eagle emblem. They will come in response to our call and raise the eagle flag again." Xi Yan patted the scrolls, "But once the call is issued, all our strength will be made public, and we will have no way to retreat. I can live forever with Chenyue. So I want to discuss with you." "A lot of people will die, right? That's something you and I don't want to see." Yi Tianzhan was silent for a while, then sighed, "How does your big net work?"

"Did you know that there is a new business called 'bamboo tube salt shop' in Donglu these years? These salt shops have been chartered by the royal family to operate salt industry in Donglu. The difference between them and other salt merchants is that they send their assistants to send Salt comes to the door. These salts are sealed in bamboo tubes, which are called bamboo tube salt. They are all high-quality sea salt produced from bluestone. Because it basically does not make money, the salt certificate given by the emperor was originally worth a lot of money, but the salt shop did not intend to use it for profit." Xi Yan said, "But some people received more than just salt in the bamboo tube. , there will still be letters. There are a total of 1,164 such people."

Yi Tianzhan nodded slightly: "Are you the owner of this bamboo tube salt shop?" Xi Yan shook his head: "I don't have the money to do such a big business...but I happen to have a friend named Jiang who does this business, and he doesn't mind helping me out." "Using Donglu's annual sales of hundreds of thousands of gold baht to help you with this, the generations of masters of the Jiang family in Wanzhou are really keen on politics." Yi Tianzhan said. Xi Yan suddenly looked directly into Yi Tianzhan's eyes: "The war is about to break out, can we stay at this moment?"

Yi Tianzhan was silent for a long time, and did not answer directly: "We only stopped them once at Shangyang Pass last year, and they recovered so quickly, it can be seen that they have accumulated a lot of strength over the years. Hundreds of thousands of people died in battle , in Chenyue's eyes, it's still just a small setback." "Of course," Xi Yan sneered, "Those who want to overthrow the world, how can they take the lives of 100,000 people as a big deal?" Yi Tianzhan took a deep breath: "Maybe 100,000 Yuren will die soon... My nephew Yilin has become the strongest of all the powers of the Yu clan. He assassinated the Yuhuang and is approaching Ziglin , he is looking forward to crowning himself there. He has been lost in the dream of killing people and becoming the Emperor of Yuren, and there is no doubt that the messenger of Chenyue has taught him something. In all directions, the flames of war are ignited at the same time. This is an all-out war I should stay here to help you, but... I am a Yuren, am I not? My people are suffering, and I should go back to Ningzhou and do my best."

Xi Yan was silent for a long time, shook his head, and smiled helplessly: "There is no way to refute this reason. You were a feathered man before you became a sky driver. I shouldn't discourage you from going back to help your people...but it's really useful." What? You were exiled by the Emperor Yu, maybe he wanted to kill you, and the entire Yu Clan knew about it." "We also ordered You Changji to be hunted down, but he still felt that he was a Heavenly Exorcist, and he died as the overlord of the Heavenly Exorcist." Yi Tianzhan said, "I think I'm as stubborn as him in this way."

"Based on what you know about Yilin, what do you think is Chenyue's purpose in inciting him?" Yi Tianzhan thought for a moment: "Yi Lin has already won the support of Hexue Tuan. Once he wins Qi Gelin, Chen Yue will lead his ambition to Donglu. What is more honorable than being the Emperor of Feathers is to be the leader of the entire Kyushu." Emperor, perhaps the elite of the Crane Snow Regiment will appear in the sky above Tianqi, and shoot arrows enough to pierce the bones at Emperor Dayin? Then the two countries declare war, and Mulan's long boat crosses the sea... At the same time, the barbarian cavalry will also cross the sea to the south. Their ancestors who died in the Fengyan Dynasty took revenge on the Donglu people? At that time, even if the white tiger in Jinbei and the lion in Liguo could join forces with us, we would not be able to prevent the entire Dayin Empire from falling apart. Donglu will become chaotic battlefield."

"That is the broken world that Chenyue is looking forward to." Xi Yan sighed quietly, "Yes, compared with such a plan, Shangyang Pass is just a small setback." Yi Tianzhan nodded: "It takes the entire Kyushu as a chessboard to launch a scuffle, what a majestic imagination, what a powerful force... Lei Bicheng will not be the supreme leader, I can feel that standing on Lei Bi The person behind Bicheng is far taller than Lei Bicheng...ten times...hundreds of times!" "Then kill the people behind him!" Xi Yan stretched out his hand to Yi Tianzhan. Yi Tianzhan looked at his hand, puzzled.

"Shake hands, it's a farewell. You go to Ningzhou, and Donglu is left to me. You and I echo each other, thousands of miles away." Xi Yan smiled, "Don't die in Ningzhou, my friend has already passed away. Not much more. When I come back here one day, I will still have Shili Shuanghong and my old friends playing the piano." Yi Tianzhan stretched out his hands to hold him tightly. The strength in their hands was as strong as iron pliers, which could crack gold and stone, but there was no expression on their faces, and they looked at each other silently. The two let go of their hands at the same time, Yi Tianzhan got up and took a few steps back, turned and went out.

At the door, he raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up, letting the iron blue finger reflect Yuehua: "The iron armor is still there!" "It's still there!" Xi Yan laughed loudly, "You are my old friend, you don't need to be polite, I won't see you off, go out and take it to the door, don't let the thieves come in and steal my flowers." Yi Tianzhan went out in the moonlight before dawn, walked through the flower garden to the gate, and heard a string ringing behind him.The qin music is like a heroic woman singing and dancing in the wind after being drunk, on a high platform, to bid farewell to her old friends.
