lethal arsenal

Chapter 267 Governor of Liangjiang?

Ma Xinyi staggered out of Qingyun Tower after drinking so much. In the middle of the night, he did not go directly to the house arranged by the Wu family, but went to the place where Lin Dong lived, intending to discuss today's matters with his brother.

He walked through the alley and saw that the courtyard Lin Dong was looking for was right in front of him. He suddenly stopped and glanced back.

"Not right."

With a thought in his mind, Ma Xinyi turned the corner in a few steps and bumped into him with a gloomy face.

Old Ma was startled subconsciously, stretched out his arms, and stepped forward. The gears buried in the bones rotated rapidly, and the black oil pipes transferred the heat energy delivered by the steam heart to the palms of his hands.

Bang bang bang.

Their fists and feet collided, their elbows touched each other, and after a muffled sound, Ma Xinyi stretched out his arm and waved, his palm split open, and a stream of gold-plated flames spurted out from the black gap.

what.

The man screamed, dong dong dong, and took a few steps back.

The flame just now burned straight into his eyes, almost blinding him.

Ma Xinyi's eyes flashed coldly, and he was not even half drunk. He just thought it was some force and wanted to assassinate him, but he spared no effort and punched the person's throat, chest and nose with the back of his fist in one breath. .

hold head high!
A shadow of a golden-haired lion stood out behind the man. His body swayed, and he seemed to be completely unconscious. He held up Lao Ma's fist and clasped it with his backhand, trying to grab Lama Xinyi's wrist.

Ma Xinyi didn't panic at all, and hit the opponent's knee with a sideways step.

Silk ~
The man gasped and fell forward uncontrollably. Ma Xinyi grabbed his shoulders, used his elbows to force his feet, and threw his opponent violently.

bang.

There was a bang in the middle of the night.

The wall of the alley was smashed into pieces, and the falling smoke and dust hit the man.

"Stop fighting, I am from Prince Sushun."

The man shouted, shook his sleeves, and took out a five-color official edict without any seals. The dragon's energy rolling on it hit his face, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The flowing brilliance shines in the dark night.

Sushun?

A native of Xianglan Banner in Manchuria, he is the seventh grandson of Prince Zheng Xian Jierhalang.

One of the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming.

The commander-in-chief of the bodyguards and the minister in charge of the internal affairs.

Yan Sheng entered the palace to assassinate him and once cut off one of his arms.

With the help of the Wu family, this person's information was formed in his mind in an instant.

Ma Xinyi stopped his fist and took it back.

"You are……"

He stared at the man's face.

This man is definitely not a monk in the temple. He has no fragrance on his body, but he wears a white monk's robe.

The monk in white clapped his hands and climbed up from the ruins. He looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were filled with warmth and radiance.

At least this is the climate that only martial artists with higher Dan Jin can have.

"Guangdong Lion Forest, the great disciple of Lotus Secret Wuxin Monk, Ajie has met Master Ma, and on the order of Master Sushun, he came to find you."

Ajie, a monk in white clothes, put his hands together and bowed slightly.

"What are you looking for from me?"

Ma Xinyi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"On the order of Master Sushun, I came here to tell you that no matter what Prince Gong and his family promised, he can give you double. In addition, here is 72 carved dragon energy, which is enough for you to bless your body."

Ajie, the monk in white clothes, said respectfully.

Hearing this, Ma Xinyi's expression remained calm, and he said with a bit of coldness on his face: "I have spent a lot of money, but Prince Gong promised me the position of Governor of Liangjiang, what can he give me?"

Ah Jie's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he heard this.

Governor of Liangjiang?

Putting aside the governor of Caohe and the governor of rivers, the Qing court with a territory of thousands of miles could only support seven governors at most.

If it is sealed any longer, the dragon's energy will be exhausted, and no one will be able to survive by then.

If the title of the governor of Liangjiang is doubled, he will almost be the governor of Zhili.

In other words, Zeng Guofan's position will be expanded one and a half times as much as it is now.

If measured by meritorious deeds, unless the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was conquered.

Only by completely pacifying the Taiping rebels and having the merit of being the savior of the world can this be possible.

Even Cong Long's meritorious service is a few points short of attaining such a position.

"You can call the shots?"

Ma Xinyi asked.

Sweat gathered on Ajie's forehead, and inadvertently, it dripped down to the instep of his feet.

"..."

Ajie couldn't give an answer.

"I have taken away the dragon energy. Go back and tell Mr. Sushun that if he wants to negotiate, we can change it to someone with weight."

Ma Xinyi reached out with his big hand, stretched out a few inches, and took the imperial edict filled with dragon energy into his hand.

This thing is a good thing.

Whether it is for martial arts training, Taoism, or to enhance luck and win people's hearts, it can be used.

72 carved dragon energy is enough to seal a third-grade official, it is just a meeting gift.

This is enough to show that Sushun has a huge pattern.

Of course, it also means great ambition.

What Ma Xinyi likes most is making friends with ambitious people.

"Okay, I will go back and report to you, sir."

Ah Jie raised his feet, flipped backwards, and disappeared into the darkness with several leaps.

In fact, there is one thing that Lao Ma did not mention - at the banquet, Prince Gong's original words were that he asked him to bring Lin Dong with him. He did not need to join the Hunan Army, but he had to join his command.

Of course, the reward was also particularly generous, and the one who gave Lin Dong was the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

In other words, wait for the two brothers to build a new mountain in the court.

A mountaintop that is no less powerful than the Hunan Army. If he could really change to that position, he would be considered higher than Yuan Sanjia.

this?

Ghosts believe.

It might be true to give Lin Dong the governorship of Fujian and Zhejiang, after all, he is a supreme master.

But giving his old horse the governor of Liangjiang is undoubtedly trying to make a fool of himself.

The Governor of Liangjiang is in charge of all military and civilian government affairs in the three major provinces of Suzhou, Huizhou, and Jiangxi.

In terms of status, he is second only to the Governor of Zhili.

Since ancient times, it has almost always been controlled by the bannermen, and the probability of Ma Xinyi falling to his head is very, very low.

"Who was that just now?"

Lin Dong walked over gently and saw the old horse in the darkness. Of course, his eyes were mainly focused on the wordless edict filled with dragon energy.

Good stuff.

He felt that the affixes in his body were ready to move.

"Nothing, an unimportant person."

Ma Xinyi said casually.

"By the way, I changed my mind."

Ma Xinyi spoke quickly.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Lin Dong asked in a low voice and swallowed subconsciously. The affix hidden in his body was shouting - give it to me, I want it.

"Like it?"

Ma Xinyi said suddenly.Just when Lin Dong was about to say a few words, he secretly gave Lao Ma a hint.

As a result, Ma Xinyi actually threw the imperial edict directly over.

"Here you go, good brother."

"I wipe."

Lin Dong was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. Lao Ma was really interesting. He grabbed the imperial edict into his hands and a mellow aura that had accumulated over the years poured into his body.

"Let's go, let's talk slowly."

"Okay, big brother."

Lin Dong responded.

This sentence of "big brother" is extremely appropriate.

……

That night.

Ma Xinyi told Lin Dong in detail the promise made by Prince Gong during the dinner.

"Two governors? Can he bear it?"

Lin Dong came back to his senses from the joy of picking up a large bag of dragon energy for nothing, and subconsciously muttered.

"As long as we stand by him, he will give us, Prince Gong's exact words."

Ma Xinyi said with a hint of joking in his voice.

"Ah? In this case, there is no chance. Brother, didn't you say that Prince Gong wanted to marry a woman named Dian Si'er to you?"

Lin Dong scratched the back of his head, using the moonlight to hide his embarrassment.

"What, you like her?"

Ma Xinyi smiled lightly, somewhat teasingly.

There was a cold light in Lao Ma's eyes. Sure enough, this Yi's scheming was not pure. Not to mention just a woman, even a wife, a hundred thousand troops were standing in front of him to compare with Lin Dong.

Ma Xinyi would definitely choose Lin Dong without hesitation.

Because if Lin Dong is bound together, it can help him achieve success, but once they are separated, it may ruin his career.

Ma Xinyi is the only man in the world who has seen how Lin Dong got to this point step by step, and he is also the only man who understands how terrifying Lin Dong's combat power is.

Choosing an army of [-] people, in today's turbulent world, he may not necessarily be able to reach the top.

And if they form a brotherly alliance with Lin Dong, there may be no chance of reaching the supreme level in the future.

This is precisely why more than 70 carved dragons were thrown away easily, and even the symbiote Wu Pinghu didn't say a word of regret deep in Lao Ma's heart.

Because this investment is extremely worthwhile, Lin Dong is worth the price.

"Uh, no, she's dead."

Lin Dong became increasingly embarrassed.

"died?"

Ma Xinyi looked at him in confusion.

"I killed it."

"..."

Ma Xinyi was quite speechless and spread his hands towards Lin Dong: "It seems that we really have no choice. Two peaches kill three people. In what age is such an old-fashioned strategy still used?"

Lin Dong looked at Lao Ma and found his eyes full of ambition.

"Well, I have two plans. One is to intercept and kill Concubine Yi, and the other is to visit Zuo Gong in preparation for the expedition to the Western Regions. In addition, before the expedition, the old thief Zeng must be dealt with. We cannot stay on the way. Brother, what do you think about the trouble?"

After thinking about it, Lin Dong felt that this time was extremely suitable.

He simply put forward his plan bluntly.

In fact, Lin Dong originally planned to bury these things in his heart and do it by himself without telling Lao Ma... However, the income from this big ball of dragon energy made Lin Dong relax his guard against Lao Ma.

After all, he is a brother who has been through life and death and is worthy of trust.

Ma Xinyi thought for a long time and became silent.

A wisp of moonlight in the sky in the thick black night, like a sharp sword crossing from east to west, it seems that even the celestial phenomena are revealing something.

"Concubine Yi has so many experts around her, are you really sure?"

Ma Xinyi asked after thinking for a long time.

"The Xuanwu sky phenomenon has been broken. My teacher Dou Fa Sheng should be able to free his hands to involve the shamanism high priest. In other words, I may not have no help. This is one. Secondly, there is an old man who taught me a It makes sense. If you want to be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains, you must have the courage to climb to the top of the mountain and become the peak."

"Shi Dakai is the supreme realm and a god of martial arts, but why am I not? How can the world not know how powerful Shi Dakai is and forget about me, Lin Yuanjue?"

"Furthermore, in our situation, can you believe Prince Gong's words? He dragged you over to have a drink, and didn't give you any benefits. He just made promises there and what kind of honey trap was he trying to provoke us?"

"And the Minister of Guards, Su Shun, actually gave more than 70 engraved dragon energy. The Eight Great Gu Mings are not as weak as we thought, and Prince Gong is not as strong as you think, big brother."

Lin Dong thought for a moment and analyzed it methodically.

"You're right, but...have you ever thought about the possibility that if we get rid of the faction fighting for the dragon, what will happen to the court?"

"Who among the Eight Great Gu Ming will be in charge? Will there be internal strife among them? Zaiyuan only has the leader of the Yulong Gang, and Duanhua is even more delusional. Although Sushun is quite talented and advocates the use of Han people, in terms of blood relationship, he is not enough to be the leader. Bit."

"If we exclude Concubine Yi's family, then the old thief Zeng will not leave it alone. He claims to be a Confucian saint who has accomplished most of his meritorious deeds, virtues, and promises. He really has magical powers in his hands."

"Once Concubine Yi dies, some idiots among the Eight Great Gu Ming may reconcile with Prince Gong, and Zeng Guofan will directly push Prince Gong to the throne."

"Most of the people in the imperial court were recommended by Zeng Guofan or were his disciples."

Ma Xinyi said with a solemn expression.

"As I said just now, even if we kill the old thief Zeng together, I still have help. The leader of the White Lotus Sect has a close relationship with me. Let him also contribute when the time comes. Besides, how can we do anything in this world? Calculate everything."

"But even if Zeng Guofan and Concubine Yi are gone, who in this court will be in charge of the overall situation. You are going to the Western Regions again. If I go to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom again, this part of the power in the court will be free... This capital The ACCCIM must have our talents.”

Ma Xinyi's eyes flickered and he began to think.

"Brother, you forgot someone."

Lin Dong said with feverish eyes, knowing in his heart that Ma Xinyi had been persuaded by him.

"Who?"

"Mr. Yuan, in terms of qualifications, he is almost the same as Zeng Guofan. The founder of the Linhuai Army is deeply rooted in the court. He is fully qualified."

"As soon as Zeng Guofan is eliminated, first promote Zuo Gong to integrate and divide the Hunan army. Then transfer Yuan Gong to Beijing to suppress the central government. I will go to the west and you will go to the south! When the time comes, our two brothers will have achieved unparalleled achievements, and the world will be conquered. It’s at your fingertips.”

Lin Dong's words made Ma Xinyi feel like he was struck by lightning, and his thoughts suddenly became clear again.

If they could really successfully get rid of Concubine Yi, Prince Gong, and the old thief Zeng, it would be impossible for Lin Dong's various plans to be completed.

"You have to think clearly about royal power and wealth."

Lin Dong said again and again.

"Okay! Then let's work together. As brothers, we can be more powerful than gold."

Ma Xinyi suddenly spoke. He stepped forward and hugged Lin Dong with great strength, expressing his gratitude in his heart.

Lin Dong pushed him away with some discomfort.

What a fight with a grown man.

"Tomorrow, let's go to see Zuo Gong together. I recommend you to go to the Western Regions."

Ma Xinyi promised.

"It's long overdue."

Lin Dong took a deep breath and endured the trembling feeling in his heart that felt like a chestnut in the fire.

Concubine Yi, Prince Gong, Old Thief Zeng, these names have all left traces in the history books.

Wouldn't it be great if all these people were killed?
Reversing the fate of our country.

Changing the outcome of thousands of people, just thinking about it makes me excited uncontrollably.

The same is true for Ma Xinyi.

Faintly, Ma Xinyi seemed to see the dragon throne, which represented supreme power, waving towards him. Man, you should be like this!
