Master Shen is a very easy-going person, and generally he would not strongly wish to die alone.

So far, only two people have given him this "best wish".

The first is Fan Dongcheng, and the second is the Yongping Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

It took Shen Yi several years to kill Fan Dongcheng.

But at that time, there was hope for this goal, and we could work hard.

But now, for Emperor Yongping's good wishes, at present, it can only be said that God has come true for him.

After all, Master Shen didn't have the ability to fly a sword thousands of miles away to take heads, otherwise he would immediately fight and kill that Hu Di with a single sword.

The short retreat of the Qi people allowed the Huai'an army, which had been tense for more than a month, to rest for a few days, but Shen Yi was not idle. After the enemy retreated, he began to send scouts outside the city.Investigate the number of Qi troops outside the city, and at the same time ask people to prepare supplies such as boiling oil for the next round of defense.

On this day, at Zhizhou Mansion, Master Shen just called a few generals under his command for a meeting, so he asked Du Yong, the deputy commander of the inner guard, to invite him to dinner.

There is not much difference in the grades of the two people. Mr. Shen is the third grade, and Du Yong is the third grade. It can be said that the official rank ceiling in Xuzhou city.

After a table of wine and food was set, Shen Yi took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Du Yong, and said with a smile: "These days, I have troubled the inner guards a lot, and Deputy Commander Du has worked hard."

Du Yong quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands, took the glass of wine, lowered his head slightly and said: "Shen Shilang, you are too polite."

The two clinked wine glasses, and after they drank it all down, Du Yong lifted the jug and filled it up for Shen Yi, saying with emotion: "Shen Yilang is really extraordinary, no wonder he can do things that ordinary people can never do."

Master Shen smiled and said, "How is it extraordinary?"

Du Yong looked at Shen Yi, and said seriously: "Other Jinshi masters, even if they are only seventh-rank and eighth-rank Beijing officials, don't look down on us military officers."

"As for Shen Shilang, you are quite different from other civil servants in Jiankang."

The status of the civil servants is outstanding, and the local magistrates of the seventh rank can raise their eyebrows at a thousand households of the fifth rank, not to mention those Beijing officials with their nostrils upturned.

A third-rank military officer like Du Yong's status in Jiankang is not too high.

Of course, the military attache of the inner guard is different.

Although the internal guards are also staffed by military officers, they secretly monitor the officials. Although they do not have direct law enforcement power, the civil servants will be relatively polite when they encounter them, and their status is much higher than other military officers.

Shen Yi ate a mouthful of food, and sighed slightly: "Since Hongde's eighth year, I have been running around outside. Today, I have only been working as a civil servant in my early half a year."

"Up to now, it's hard to say whether I'm still a civil servant."

Du Yong also took two mouthfuls of food, then looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Shen Yilang invites you to dinner, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Not to mention orders."

Master Shen poured him wine and said with a smile: "It's just that there are some things that I need to trouble the inner guard's brother."

After he paused.He opened his mouth and said, "Two days ago, the internal guards reported that Yandu's third prince Qi Wang Zhao Li is very popular in Yandu now, and several prime ministers of Yandu will go to Qiwang's mansion for dinner."

Du Yong nodded and said: "Yes, among the three prime ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Tong Jian, the foreman, and the prime minister Ma Cheng, both went to Qi Wang's mansion for banquets many times."

"Currently, only Han Prime Minister Yan Li has not made a statement yet, and there has never been a door to Dengqi Prince's Mansion."

Master Shen stroked his chin, and said, "Yandu is out of phase frequently..."

Du Yong nodded again and said: "Recently, there have indeed been many abnormal phenomena in Yandu, most of which are ominous signs, such as well water suddenly becoming foul-smelling, and boulders that bleed profusely every night..."

"There are already seven or eight of these ominous signs."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "Deputy Marshal Du, this is probably one of the princes in Yandu who is dissatisfied with King Qi."

"I need the water to be more muddy."

Shen Yi said softly: "The inner guards, within the scope of their ability, in Yandu or nearby cities, create ominous omens and..."

"Auspicious."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and continued: "If possible, find this Northern Qi prince who is secretly doing bad things, and then..."

Master Shen lowered his voice and conspired with Du Yong in a low voice.

Du Yong listened quietly to Shen Yi's words. Hearing this, he thought for a while and replied, "Shen Yilang, most of these things are fine, and I can handle them."

"However, I still have to report to His Majesty and Lu Weishuai..."

"It's natural."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "It was originally intended to be reported to the emperor. Brother Du, you don't have to shy away from it, just say in the report that it was my idea."

"At this time, Northern Qi must become chaotic."

Master Shen lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, and said in a low voice: "It's better to be so chaotic that the old guy can't close his eyes when he leaves, then this time I will get twice the result with half the effort..."

Du Yong lowered his head and cupped his fists, and said with a smile: "Shen Shilang is very clever, I admire you."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "As long as you are not stupid, you can think of these."

"Deputy Marshal Du, the Dibao Division under me is also born out of the inner guard. Now it is in the north and has a little foundation. Later, I will ask the people from the Dibao Division to contact Deputy Marshal Du to see if they can help the deputy. Nice place."

Du Yong nodded, and said with a smile: "I've heard the name of Di Baosi long ago, and it would be great if I can see it..."

………………

After half a month, Yandu.

As soon as the sky brightened, screams of horror came from the gate of Yongchang Gate in Yandu.

"what is that!"

Someone pointed at a white object under the city gate with a trembling voice.

This thing was hung on the city tower, hung down with a rope, and hung directly above the city gate.

It wasn't until the crowd got closer that someone recognized it.

"It seems...it's a fox..."

Hearing these words, everyone looked at this unidentified creature that was hung up seriously, and saw that it was completely white with a big tail, and it was indeed a fox.

It's just that this fox, whose neck was tightly strangled by a rope, bleeding from seven holes, looked extremely terrifying.

On the snow-white fur, there was a large area red with blood.

"The fox fairy has hanged himself!"

In the crowd, someone yelled loudly.

At this time, there are quite a few real Zhuli in Yandu City.

Immortal Zhu Li originated in the Northeast. Although the theory of the Five Immortals has not yet become popular at this time, such things as the Fox Immortal have already been spread in the Northeast.

After being called out so loudly, many people looked at the hanged fox and felt chills down their backs.

All of a sudden, everyone dispersed.

Almost at the same day, people in Yandu City successively discovered huge rats, weasels, giant pythons, and hedgehogs as big as winnows.

They were all hanged on ropes, which looked extremely strange.

At the same time, in some teahouses and restaurants, people have already started to talk about the story of "Five Immortals".

Some people say that the Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi was blessed by five immortals in Changbai Mountain, so he was able to go south and occupy the mountains and rivers.

Now, the heirs of the five immortals died suddenly and hanged in Yandu, which is a very ominous omen.

All of a sudden, rumors and gossip spread in Yandu City.

His Royal Highness King Qi, who was in charge of the country, was furious, and ordered the people from the Department of Purity to go down and investigate the matter in detail. However, the Department of Cleanliness does not have many people in Yandu right now, and these so-called ominous omens are all caused by people with good intentions. Because, in a while, it's really not easy to find out.

The matter fermented until the third day, and finally someone claimed to know the truth of the matter, and went to King Qi's mansion smoothly, and met His Highness King Qi.

The man knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling: "Your Highness, the villain doesn't know about other things, but the villain knows that the concubine of His Royal Highness King Wei once raised a white fox..."

After hearing this, Zhao Li narrowed his eyes and looked towards the sky.

"Gu...I got it."
