Volume 1 Covering the Sky with One Hand Chapter 22 Four Generals(1/2)
Lu Bupin looked out the window.
"Jiang Zimo was convicted, and the people of Yanzhou knelt down outside the governor's office to plead for mercy." The waiter poured tea, "Luo Chuan did the trick, but he was beaten and now has lower body paralysis.
Feng Chengyue, the former governor of the state, is also in prison. He will be sent back to Chongdu soon, and the accompanying officer is Chen Jinqiu.
As for Chen Qiusheng, he stayed alone in Yanzhou as a proton, saying that if there was a flood this year and he couldn't cure it, he would risk his life.
Master, I’m afraid there won’t be any trouble in Yanzhou this time.”
Lu Bupin sat on his knees on the couch, his back straight, he closed his eyes and said, "Where is Yuanji?"
"In the prison, 'Eye' saw him going in with Liu Taijing." The waiter wiped the table with a towel diligently, "A message was passed in the prison. It is said that this man is the third prince, Prince Qi, who was on the Chongwu Year Flower Boat.
What he told 'Ear' was true, and he absolutely heard it right."
Lu Bupin opened his eyes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After a while, he said: "Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't try to scare the snake."
"Eh~ It's hanging." The waiter grinned and drawled, "Liu Taijing was born in Kaiyuan Valley. He has a cultivation level in the Demonic Realm. I'm afraid his eyes can't keep up."
Lu Bupin twirled his tea cup and thought: "Counting the days, the people from outside the Great Wall will come back today. Send someone of the same level to follow, in pairs."
The waiter stopped wiping the table and became suspicious of Lu Bupin's arrangements. He was adopted by Lu Bupin since he was a child. He had worked as a spy in Yanzhou for many years and was very familiar with the power of Lu Bupin's men.
The eyes refer to a specific group of people. They are all orphans adopted by Lu Bupin from various places. They are trained by specialized people and are responsible for detecting news. The ears are another group of people who are responsible for receiving and transmitting news.
No one knows each other.
Both groups of people have their own leaders, and the people outside the Great Wall that Lu Bupin mentioned are all geniuses with the talent for cultivation, but they do not practice orthodox Taoism.
In the righteous way, this kind of people are called demons.
"Master, the people from outside the Great Wall have just returned, and several of them are still injured." The waiter looked worried, "Isn't it appropriate to let them go?"
Lu Bupin didn't answer, but looked sideways at the waiter.
Lu Bupin's speechless appearance was very bland, and he looked like an ordinary old man watching silently.
But the waiter knew that in the past, some of them openly opposed Lu Bupin's orders and even tried to escape from the Chamber of Commerce. Lu Bupin also watched without saying a word and opposed the orders.
It's death.
Cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and the waiter immediately put away his playful attitude and said, "I'll give you the order right now."
"Have people come to me." Lu Bupin ordered, "I want to hear the intelligence beyond the Great Wall."
The waiter turned back and said respectfully: "Here."
Not long after, the waiter left and returned. After opening the door, he waited aside with his head bowed and his body hunched over. He waited for the people behind him to enter before slowly closing the door.
The man who came in was holding a white paper fan, dressed in white clothes, and his hair was tied with a white ribbon. He looked like a tree in the wind, with a cool temperament, and his face was as beautiful as jade.
Snap!
The man in white closed his paper fan and bowed respectfully: "Master."
"We have been going back and forth for several months." Lu Bupin asked familiarly, "Bai Yi, have you investigated the movements outside the Great Wall?"
The man in white clothes knelt down and sat down politely. He put down the paper fan and paused before saying, "Master, don't be anxious. I've been traveling all night and I'm very thirsty."
When Lu Bupin nodded slightly, Bai Yi was already holding up the teapot and taking a sip.
Then he said: "As expected by the master, the people from Yama Island went to sea. This time we found many people from the demonic path in the city-state of the vassal outside the Great Wall.
The battle over there is fierce, there are many demon cultivators in the army, most of the outer territory has been conquered, and the trend of convergence has taken shape."
Night fell quietly, the sky became dark while we were talking, and the loud chirping of cicadas came from outside the building.
There was silence in the building.
"The Iron Rule has indeed been broken." Lu Bupin's words revealed a bit of bitterness, "Thousands of years ago, the four major sects attacked Yama Island with their combined strength. After their defeat, they lived in the sea for a long time to cultivate and recuperate. Now that thousands of years have passed,
By openly gathering the forces of foreign vassals, he is going back to Kyushu to seek revenge."
"Yes, the army of the foreign vassals is very different from the army of the Zheng Kingdom. They are good at throwing spears and are extremely powerful whether in raids or breaking down the city." The white-clothed general said what he knew and saw, "Now the demon cultivators from Yama Island have also joined.
Among them, I am afraid that the mortal army of Zheng Guo cannot compete at all."
Lu Bupin squinted his eyes and thought carefully: "What is the current situation?"
Bai Yi seemed to have been prepared for it. He took out a map from his sleeve.
"Master, please take a look." Bai Yi laid the map flat on the table, "There are dozens of large and small foreign vassal states, and now the most powerful one is here."
Lu Bupin looked sideways and said slowly, "Cana."
The white-clothed man tapped the map with his finger: "All kingdoms, big and small, were killed by spears. Wherever the warriors of Cana passed, there was a bloody wind and graves of bones. If the hostile kingdoms do not surrender, they will all be massacred after the war."
To serve as a warning, there are only a few cities that are still resisting right now. The general trend is the general trend, and the point of the spear is right here."
The long finger in white swiped and stopped somewhere on the edge of the map.
Lu Bupin stood up and took down a deerskin map from the cabinet. He spread it out and put it together with the map on the table. Suddenly it was a map that encompassed Kyushu as far as the continent beyond the Great Wall.
Lu Bupin looked at the place pointed by Bai Yi for a long time, then leaned back slightly and sighed, "Man Hong Pass."
Draw the fingertips in the north.
Baiyi added: "There is also Wanjianmen."
Lu Bupin closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said: "Withdraw all the caravans and shops outside, and then let Haixi and Dongtian go to Manhongguan to join the army, and then collect the spiritual herbs from all the shops in Kyushu.
Everything is transported to the pass, and there is no room for loss in the red pass."
Baiyi nodded solemnly and replied: "Actually, I have already moved back all the shops outside the Great Wall during this trip. I hope the master will forgive me for making my own decisions. Nowadays, there are frequent wars outside the Great Wall, and it is really difficult to do business. I have also lost a lot of eyes and ears. But it is only a thousand miles away.
he……"
Lu Bupin could hear the helplessness in his words.
There are four generals in the eyes and ears of the Chamber of Commerce, namely, Baiyi, Haixi, Dongtian, and Qianli. Each of the four generals has strange magical powers.
Bai Yi is good at forging instruments, Hai Shi is good at refining elixirs, Cave Heaven is born with purple energy in the cave, and the body is alive, and Qianli is born with magical feet, which can travel thousands of miles in a day.
"He..." Lu Bupin stared at the map, "Let him run outside the Great Wall to find out the news about Cana."
"He runs fast. Although it is dangerous outside the wall, I think he can survive alone." Bai Yi chuckled, and then asked, "What about me?"
Lu Bupin was about to speak when suddenly the waiter's enthusiastic shout came from outside the door.
"Hey, girl, who are you looking for?"
The answer was a rich and magnetic Sichuan spoken dialect.
"Get out of the way, I'm looking for your master!"
…
Jiang Guo stood in front of the door with his arms crossed, looking as arrogant as possible.
The waiter stopped Jiang Guo from barging in. His face was filled with a warm smile, but his hand was placed in front of the door.
The waiter smiled honestly and said: "There are guests in the private room. The young lady is a prostitute. It may be inconvenient to enter."
"I'm walking upright and sitting upright. Today I'm calling you by name. Please hear me clearly." Jiang Guo pointed the cigarette stick at the waiter's nose and glared at him with a fierce look, "The person I'm looking for is called Lu Bu."
Taste!"
The waiter's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.
Lu Bupin's whereabouts are erratic on weekdays, and he is followed by spies from the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the one who is responsible for the lookout, there are also three guards hiding in the dark who are responsible for escorting him. All of them are good hands.
Therefore, no matter when and where Lu Bupin appears, it should appear as if it appeared out of thin air, making it impossible for people to detect it.
But how did Jiang Guo know Lu Bupin was here?
The waiter rolled his eyes and thought about the relationship between Jiang Guo and Yuan Ji as seniors and brothers, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Girl, there are distinguished guests of our restaurant in the dining room. I don't know what their last names are. And the restaurant has its own rules, girl."
But you can’t just barge in without any reason.”
"I don't know? It doesn't matter if you don't know who your master is." Jiang Guo raised the cigarette pole, and the old man patted the waiter on the shoulder, "I just know who to look for. Get out of the way, you are here today.
I broke the rules in the building!"
The low sound spread in the building, but it made the people downstairs listen carefully.
The waiter's smile contained a bit of anger, but he suppressed it.
But Jiang Guo raised his hand unforgivingly and put it on the door, trying to push it open!
But at this moment——
Snap!
The rag on the waiter's shoulder suddenly turned into an afterimage and wrapped around Jiang Guo's hand without warning!
Jiang Guo was also startled. Then he turned to look at the waiter and asked in a deep voice, "You want to stop me?"
Although the waiter was smiling, his words showed a hint of teasing: "It offends me a lot."
Jiang Guo gradually smiled when he heard this: "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, the cigarette rod in her hand suddenly ignited with a scorching flame.
A faint puff of green smoke swayed, covering their faces, and then a buzzing sound was heard.
