Qi Hongyun's next words made everyone present's eyes light up.
The rules of the Zhou Dynasty and the Jianghu had nothing to do with the Japanese pirates!
"What? Brother Qi also has friendship with the Japanese pirates at sea?!"
Qi Hongyun smiled proudly, "These Japanese pirates are wandering on the sea. They can't live by just looting. There are some things that you can't get by looting, but you still need to buy them. I happen to have some contacts with their leader Matsuura Takanobu, and do a little business.
Not worth mentioning!"
Even though he said this, the proud look in Qi Hongyun's eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard he said it.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of several other people, but they still underestimated Qi Hongyun.
This person can start from scratch and become one of the best among Yangzhou salt merchants. He indeed has his own means and should not be underestimated.
"Then Brother Qi might ask them to take action?" Wang Anmin asked to test.
"Haha, yes, it is possible, but this is everyone's business, we can't let me, Lao Qi, pay for it alone!?"
Qi Hongyun smiled naively, but no one regarded him as naive. Only those who regard him as naive are truly naive.
Now, a practical way has appeared in front of everyone.
Not only can he get rid of Xia Lie's backers, but he can also attract the court's attention.
However, Wang Anmin, who was born in an aristocratic family, still has a slightly higher vision and still does not want to kill the imperial governor. The relationship between this is too great.
Originally, the purpose of forcing girls into prostitution and human trafficking was to kill a few people, but now the plan is to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
"Then can we let Matsuura Takanobu directly attack Yangzhou City and kill the people in the six gates?"
Wang Anmin's proposal was refuted by Chen Tai before Qi Hongyun could object.
"This is simply impossible! Yangzhou is an important tax base for the imperial court. The city walls are strong and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, 30,000 elite Shence troops are stationed eighty miles away, and the Yangtze River Navy can also go down the river to rush to help at any time.
!Those are the main force of the imperial court, just three islands of Japanese slaves, why should they attack Yangzhou?!"
As soon as Chen Tai finished speaking, another wealthy businessman added, "Even if we cooperate internally and externally to open the gates of Yangzhou City and let the Japanese pirates invade Yangzhou City, how can our safety and interests be guaranteed!?"
This sentence resonated with everyone. Isn't the reason why they took such desperate risks just for their own interests?
Japanese pirates have difficulty controlling themselves. If they are not careful, they will play with fire and burn themselves.
Seeing that everyone was against it, Wang Anmin had no choice but to give up.
"Wang Hua is in his hometown in Yaozhou County at the moment. I think it is better to let Matsuura Takanobu attack Yaozhou County! Yaozhou County is not as good as Yangzhou. The city is small and the defenders are insufficient. If you are not prepared, you will be attacked by Matsuura Takanobu.
If Matsuura Takanobu really kills Wang Hua, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the Great Zhou Dynasty. When the time comes, how can the imperial court have time to deal with us?!"
"That makes sense!"
"This method is very good!"
Chen Tai's words were instantly recognized by everyone.
"But..." Yang Wuren, the leader of the Salt Gang, suddenly said, "These Japanese pirates don't dare to land on a large scale in the East China Sea!"
"Oh?!" Wang Anmin asked, "How can Gang Leader Yang say this!?"
This is not only a question for Wang Anmin, but also a question for many wealthy businessmen.
"You are not from the world, so you don't know anything. On this island in the East China Sea, there is a great swordsman, known as the Qinglian Sword Immortal. He is one of the thirteen famous swords in the world ranked by Tianji Tower. He has been there for ten years.
, killed twelve Japanese pirate leaders, two Dongxuan Realm masters from Japan, and countless Yuanhua Realm Japanese pirates who died under his sword. The Japanese pirates in the East China Sea were very afraid of him and did not dare to dispatch on a large scale! I
I’m afraid that even if we offer money, Takanobu Matsuura won’t dare to accept it!”
"this……"
The wealthy merchants here have all dealt with people in the world, and they are all well-informed people. Naturally, they know the meaning of the famous swords in the Tianji Tower sword poem.
Just when everyone was hesitating, Qi Hongyun spoke again.
"You don't have to worry. This Matsuura Takanobu is not active near the East China Sea. He is king and hegemony near the West Sea. If he takes action, he will definitely log in from the West Sea, so as not to alarm the Qinglian Sword Immortal. Moreover, his men are also
There are so many masters, and all the kamikaze warriors are good, so they should not be afraid of the Qinglian Sword Immortal."
"In that case, let's give it a try! Brother Qi, please make an offer first!"
The only one who can contact Matsuura Takanobu now is Qi Hongyun. Even if he wants to cheat everyone, he can only do it. Now is not the time to care about small money.
"If you want to ask Matsuura Takanobu to take the initiative to attack the county, the price must be quite high. What these Japanese pirates want is nothing more than money, beautiful women, and secret weapons. Let me see it this way! Let's produce three martial arts secret books and three thousand fine iron weapons.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, thirty beauties, and some rare jewels, what do you think?!"
Qi Hongyun offered a very high price, and everyone present knew that he would take kickbacks, but there was no other way, the channel was in his hands, so he had no choice but to agree at this time.
"My Wang family can produce two secret books!" Wang Anmin was the first to respond.
"I, the salt, will help you get a copy!"
"Then I will give you twenty beauties!"
…
Qi Hongyun saw that everyone knew that it was impossible for him not to speak, even if it was just a pretense!
"Everyone is so generous, I can't stand it, Lao Qi! I'll pay you one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
…
Soon, Qi Hongyun's quotation was put together by several people.
"Brother Qi, hurry up! If you are too late, things will change!!" said the oldest Chen Tai.
"Don't worry, everyone! Keep it with me, Lao Qi! One of Matsuura's troops is nearby. I will first bring a secret book and a hundred thousand taels of silver as a deposit to show my sincerity and convince Matsuura to take action and attack Yaozhou County!
"

--------------------------------
Youzhou.
On a snowy backcountry trail.
Nangong Mie, who was dressed in ragged clothes, was walking silently, and his clothes were stained with blood, telling him about the hardships he had endured these days.
Originally defeated at the hands of Yang Qingyuan, with his Dongxuan realm skills and the tenth level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, it was not a big deal!
Ten and a half days of rest and rest can restore most of the injuries. The physical recovery power of warriors like them is still higher than that of ordinary warriors of the Qi refining lineage.
But the damn Yang Qingyuan actually injected an innate sword energy into his body, seriously hindering his recovery from injuries.
So three days ago, Nangong Miejian expelled this sword energy and began to repair the injuries in his body.
If that was all, people in the Central Plains Wulin and the Great Zhou Dynasty were constantly chasing him.
Nangong Mi's martial arts, his wealth, his reputation in the Dongxuan Realm, and the court's awards, all these constantly tempted martial artists in the world and the court.
Fortunately, most of the people who took action were warriors from the Tongmai and Yuanhua realms, so they did not pose much of a threat to Nangong Mie.
Although the tiger was injured, it was not something that hyenas could offend. Along the way, Nangong Mi had already killed and wounded dozens of warriors who were chasing him.
Of course, he also suffered some minor injuries. Coupled with the previous injuries, Nangong Mi's condition was very bad. As a last resort, Nangong Mi could only choose to take a remote path.
Along the way, there were indeed fewer annoying flies.
Now he has reached the territory of Youzhou, not far from the outside of the pass. As long as he leaves the boundary of Dazhou, he will be safe!
When he returns to Houjin, no matter what, he must gather a group of friends to help him and get this place back!
Just as Nangong Mie was walking forward in the wind and snow, suddenly there seemed to be a smell of meat in the air.
In the wind and snow ahead, a man in a black cloak, a bamboo hat on his head, and a long sword in his arms was waiting for him on the path.
Nangong Mie's vigilance was instantly raised, "Who are you?! Why are you blocking my way!"
"I opened this road,
I planted this tree.
If you want to get over this,
Leave the buns!"
Nangong Mie was stunned when he heard the last sentence! He even wondered if he was hearing hallucinations because of his injury!
What the hell?! Buns?!
Nangong Mie wanted to hit someone, but a warrior's intuition told him that the swordsman in front of him was not simple.
If the problem can be solved with money, then it is not a big problem.
"This young hero is so polite!"
Nangong Mie seems to be more polite. Now he has more things to do than less things to do.
"I wonder how much money it will cost to let me pass?!"
"Don't you understand human language?! I want steamed buns!"
Nangong Mie: "..."
Hearing what the visitor said, even though Nangong Mie was about to give in, his blood pressure went up! After all, he was also a master of the Dongxuan Realm, so he gave in, but the other party had this attitude.
"Forget it! Then just treat it as one more dead soul under your command!"
Nangong Mie slowly mentioned his skills. Although his body was seriously injured, it would not be a big problem to deal with a junior in the Yuan Hua realm.
"Keng!"
The iron sword is unsheathed.
Nangong Mi's sword was lost on the way to escape. The sword was snatched from the hands of a Yuan Hua realm swordsman. It was not easy, but Nangong Mi had no better choice.
The visitor did not speak, but slowly drew out his sword. It was a black broken sword, and the sharp edge radiating from the blade told him how extraordinary he was.
"Zheng!"
Nangong Mie felt pressure as soon as the person came to take action.
The man in front of him was completely different from the group of crooked melons and dates he was chasing before.
When the sword came out, there was wind and snow.
The sword energy was mixed in the snow and wind in the sky. It was unpredictable and difficult to distinguish between true and false. It attacked Nangong Mie from all directions.
The snow beats the wind, and the sword energy is like frost.
Nangong Mie felt a familiar flavor in this swordsmanship. The iron sword in his hand was as light as heavy, and the sword was as powerful as a mountain!
In the wind and snow, the sound of the two swords clashing continued to be heard, echoing for a long time in the wind and snow.
The swordsmanship of this swordsman in a bamboo hat is really complicated. There are different sects and different styles of swordsmanship at his fingertips. The last sword was still brilliant, but the next one became ghostly, and the next one became ghostly.
Buddhist martial arts.
Such an opponent is really strange and difficult to deal with. Nangong Mie calls himself "Sky Swordsman". Even though he majors in body training, his swordsmanship is not weak. However, when facing this Yuan Hua realm swordsman, it is difficult to take advantage of him in swordsmanship.
A little bit cheaper.
Take it straight with a sword and hear the sound of frost.
As the swords clashed, the sword in Nangong Mie's hand broke into two pieces.
Nangong Mie then jumped out of the battle circle with a backward leap. Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Nangong Mie's eyes were fiery. The sword he grabbed was a rare weapon, but Ye Jianhan's broken sword easily cut it off.
This broken sword is also a rare treasure!
His iron sword was lost, and now God has sent a divine sword that is even better than before. It is precisely what was lost that was harvested in the east, and he is determined to seize this sword!
Nangong Mie threw the broken sword on the ground. Only by using fists can he show his true strength.
At the moment when he gave up his sword and used fists, Nangong Mie felt that this scene was very familiar. First he was competing with swords, but then his sword skills were not as good as others, so he switched to boxing. It seemed like he had seen this plot somewhere.
But the thought of Nangong Mie just passed by in a flash!
After all, he is just a young man, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be!?
"Die to me!"
Nangong Mie Yun used the seventh-level Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu to punch out and conquer the mountains and rivers with his fist!
The figure of the swordsman in the bamboo hat flashed and he dodged Nangong Mie's punch. Before the punch hit, the momentum of the swordman's hat had already knocked the swordman's hat away.
Under the bamboo hat, there is an impossibly young face, with short hair that is very different from those of the time. There are three red horizontal bars tattooed on the right sleeve of this man's black attire.
Also blown away along with the bamboo hat was half a bun wrapped in oil paper. This was also the source of the fragrance that Nangong Mie smelled just now!
The young man glanced at Baozi, and the pain in his heart was visible to the naked eye, and then his eyes turned firm and cold.
Hunyuan body-breaking invisible sword energy!
Dozens of sword energy swung out from the broken sword, and each sword energy was equivalent to his full blow.
At the moment when the invisible sword energy of Hunyuan's broken body came close to him, Nangong was enlightened!
He finally knew where this damn familiarity came from!
Yang Qingyuan! The culprit who caused him to be in such a mess!
First there was a swordsmanship competition, then the sword was knocked away, he abandoned the sword and used fists, and then there was this invisible sword energy that broke the body!
Even the process is exactly the same!
Although the nature of the sword energy between the two is different, they clearly use the same martial arts!
"Where are you from?! Who are you Yang Qingyuan?!"
Nangong Mie was shocked and angry, and shouted sharply!
"Dali Temple! Ye Jianhan!"
After announcing his name, Ye Jianhan didn't waste any time. He let out a soft sound from Canxue in his palm and attacked again!
"Okay!" When Nangong Mie heard about Ye Jianhan's origins, new and old hatreds came to his heart. He couldn't defeat Yang Qingyuan, so it would be okay to bully your younger brother! I'll give you a hand first! The rights will be used as interest!
Clenching his fists tightly, Nangong Mie turned his fist into a sword and struck out in series.
Each punch was like swinging a Zhenyue heavy sword, crushing Ye Jianhan's Hunyuan body-shattering invisible sword energy.
Ye Jianhan's expression remained unchanged, and the remaining snow in his palm did not stop at all. Countless sword moves from different sects were unleashed from Ye Jianhan's hand.
Thousands of swords and flowers are incomparably gorgeous.
"It's a small skill, let me defeat you ten times with just one effort!"
Nangong Mi knew that prolonged fighting would be detrimental to his injuries, so the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu suddenly reached the tenth level.
Under the tenth level of dragon elephant, both speed and strength have undergone qualitative changes! This is one of the reasons why Nangong Mi is outstanding in the Dongxuan Realm.
However, due to internal injuries, this state cannot be maintained for too long, otherwise Nangong Mi's body is in danger of collapse.
"Bahuang Flame Dragon Power!"
Nangong Mie Zhenyuan becomes stronger again.
After stacking up the buffs, punch them out.
The vitality of heaven and earth was also activated with a full punch. The dragon-elephant was so powerful that it shattered thousands of mountains with its punch!
But while Nangong was gathering momentum by destroying the buff, Ye Jianhan had already jumped up.
The remaining snow chirps softly, and the sword fixes the mountains and rivers!
