The Most Powerful Man in the World

The soldiers guarding Linghu Chong did not show any surprise when they saw Yue Buqun, obviously knowing Yue Buqun's identity.

"Master Yue!"

Yue Buqun nodded slightly at the soldier and walked into the tent.

Seeing Linghu Chong sitting there with a slightly pale complexion, the whole person looked a little decadent, as if he heard the movement, he raised his head and glanced at Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun saw Linghu Chong's expression in his eyes, and sighed in his heart. He treated Linghu Chong as his own son. He never thought that the two of them would end up like this.

Sitting cross-legged, Yue Buqun put the jar of fine wine in front of Linghu Chong and said, "Chong'er, this is the fine wine brought to you by the teacher. You love fine wine the most in your life, how about a taste of this wine!"

Linghu Chong's eyes fell on the wine jar. At this moment, Yue Buqun opened the wine jar and filled two bowls of wine.

Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong and said, "Come on, it seems that you and my master and apprentice have never sat together to drink like this. Today, I will accompany you to taste this delicious wine."

Linghu Chong trembled in his heart. Looking at Yue Buqun, he slowly took up the wine and drank it all, "Master, this disciple is not filial..."

Yue Buqun poured the wine and said, "Today you and my master and apprentice don't talk about this, just drink!"

The two of them drank one bowl at a time, and the jar of fine wine weighed several kilograms. Even if Linghu Chong was a good drinker, it was impossible for him to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Besides, his cultivation was sealed, and his resistance was natural. Also much weaker.

Gradually, Linghu Chong became a little drunk, his eyes were blurred, he muttered about drinking, and giggled a few times from time to time, looking like he was drunk.

Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong, and slowly put down the bowl in his hand, with infinite pity and intolerance in his eyes, and the situation that Chu Yi's inner servant sent a message to him appeared in his mind.

Sitting there, Yue Buqun was a little absent-minded, and there was a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes. With a thud, he saw Linghu Chong lying there all over, muttering to himself.

When he came back to his senses, a look of determination flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes. Looking at Linghu Chong, he slowly raised his hand and lowered it to Linghu Chong's head. He closed his eyes, and two tears rolled down slowly: "Chong'er, for Huashan's sake. , don't blame the teacher..."

Chapter 1 Everything is for Huashan! 【[-] more】

Yue Buqun treats Linghu Chong like a parent. If he has a choice, he will do everything possible to protect Linghu Chong.

Previously, Chu Yi had sent someone to give him a message. Regarding Linghu Chong's life and death, Chu Yi did not take it to heart at all, and left everything to him.

Regarding this point, Yue Buqun has no doubts at all. With Chu Yi's status, if he really wants to kill Linghu Chong, it is just a matter of one sentence. A mere Linghu Chong will not be taken seriously by Chu Yi. .

So if he really wanted to protect Linghu Chong, it was not impossible.

It had been a few days since Yue Buqun first saw Linghu Chong, and he had come to see Linghu Chong twice during this period.

Linghu Chong is now the head of the Huashan faction, but because Linghu Chong participated in King Ning's rebellion, he even helped King Ning deal with Chu Yi. This is definitely an unforgivable sin.

It is precisely because of this that the Huashan faction suffered a great disaster. If it wasn't for his great deeds and desperate begging, I am afraid that the Huashan faction would really be wiped out like the Qingcheng faction.

He could save the rest of the Huashan faction, but only Linghu Chong couldn't.Linghu Chong was the head of the Huashan faction, and what he did represented the Huashan faction, so he participated in King Ning's rebellion, and the consequence was the destruction of the Huashan faction.

Even if Chu Yi didn't care about Linghu Chong's life or death, others might not care.

Yue Buqun knew very well that there were Qi Hu, Fang Li and others around Chu Yi, none of them were ordinary people. If he really saved Linghu Chong, Fang Li and the others might not say it, but they would definitely be in his heart. have opinions.

Being cared about by these people, even Yue Buqun would not be able to eat or sleep.

It could even be said that Linghu Chong was immortal, so the twenty Huashan Sect disciples that he had tried so hard to secure from the imperial court butcher knife would definitely be targeted.

As the head of the Huashan faction, Yue Buqun knew very well that Linghu Chong's death would be the most beneficial to the Huashan faction.

After all, hundreds of Huashan Sect disciples died, and it can be said that many of them were very innocent. If Linghu Chong, who caused all this, survived, wouldn't it be too unfair for these innocent Huashan Sect disciples!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he struggled for a few days. Until this moment, Yue Buqun was completely determined.

When Yue Buqun's hand fell on Linghu Chong's head and tears rolled down his eyes, Linghu Chong, who was lying there looking drunk, had a line of tears rolling down from his slightly closed eyes. Linghu Chong wasn't drunk, everything was just pretending.

Linghu Chong heard Yue Buqun's voice, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

A strong force poured into Linghu Chong's head, and in an instant he saw fresh blood flowing out of Linghu Chong's seven orifices.

Looking at Linghu Chong, who had lost his vitality, Yue Buqun couldn't help crying, and sat there for a long time before sighing.

He took a step forward, slowly bent over and picked up Linghu Chong, then placed him flat on the bed covered with a layer of thatched straw, and then slowly helped Linghu Chong to straighten the messy hair and messy clothes, just like Tong Ning back then. Zhong then brought Linghu Chong, who was still a child, back to Mount Hua to take good care of him.

As the sun rises, the camp is in good order, and the soldiers in the camp are training.

A figure walked into the tent, it was Yue Buqun with a face of vicissitudes.

After the night passed, Yue Buqun seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden, and his whole person looked very vicissitudes.

Hearing the footsteps, Chu Yi raised his head and glanced at Yue Buqun. Seeing Yue Buqun's vicissitudes of life, he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise. He slowly put down the book in his hand and looked at Yue Buqun who was saluting to him. Said: "Master Yue doesn't need to bow, just sit down and talk!"

After the salute, Yue Buqun sat on the side and looked at Chu Yi and said, "Boss, the lower officials are here to apologize to the boss!"

Chu Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words: "Oh, what does Master Yue mean by this?"

Taking a deep breath, Yue Buqun said slowly, "Chong'er is dead!"

Hearing what Yue Buqun said, Chu Yi couldn't help raising his brows, looked at Yue Buqun in surprise and said, "Linghu rushed to death?"

Originally, Chu Yi thought that Yue Buqun would most likely save Linghu Chong's life. After all, Yue Buqun's feelings for Linghu Chong were true. He handed over Linghu Chong to Yue Buqun to deal with it, but he did not care about Linghu Chong's life or death. .

There was only one Linghu Chong, but to be honest, Chu Yi really didn't care.

Yue Buqun nodded slightly and said, "As the head of the Huashan faction, Linghu Chong actually colluded with King Ning to rebel. This crime cannot be forgiven, and the lower official received the great kindness of His Excellency, and promised twenty people from the Huashan faction to live, but other People can live, but Linghu Chong alone can’t do it, so I took the initiative to send Chong’er on the road in person, and I didn’t ask the general manager to forgive me!”

Although he had expected that Yue Buqun might kill Linghu Chong himself, otherwise Yue Buqun would never have been so vicissitudes of life, but Chu Yi was still very surprised to hear Yue Buqun say this.

However, Chu Yi soon realized that, in fact, from Yue Buqun's position, he didn't have many choices at all.

Compared to the future of the Huashan faction, no matter how much he treated Linghu Chong like a parent, he would kill Linghu Chong ruthlessly.

For the revival of the Huashan faction, Yue Buqun was even able to be ruthless towards himself, and now it is reasonable to reluctantly abandon Linghu Chong.

Glancing at Yue Buqun, Chu Yi nodded calmly and said, "Forget it, since Linghu Chong is dead, then you should bury him alive!"

Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, stood up and bowed to Chu Yi: "Thank you, Chief Executive!"

Watching Yue Buqun leave, Lin Pingzhi, who was standing on Chu Yi's side, couldn't help but whisper, "Master Yue is really ruthless..."

Chu Yi shook his head slightly. Even if Lin Pingzhi had experienced Yu Canghai's catastrophe, he had never experienced too many facts, so how could he possibly understand Yue Buqun's choice.

Yangzhou

Since King Ning raised troops and occupied Nanjing City, and even ascended the throne, Yangzhou City has changed its flag.

Whether the prefect of Yangzhou prefecture was willing in his heart or persecuted by a group of noble families headed by the Xie family in the city, he wrote to King Ning and bowed his head as a minister, representing that Yangzhou prefecture joined King Ning's camp.

From the moment when Yangzhou Mansion was annexed to King Ning and openly rebelled against the imperial court, all the noble families headed by the Xie family breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that not long ago, the Jinyiwei who traveled south from Beijing was only a few days away from Yangzhou City. Once these Jinyiwei entered Yangzhou City, it would be the end of their families who participated in the change of the capital.

Xie Mingyu, the head of the Xie family, Mo De, the head of the Mo family, and the others provided a lot of grain and silver to support King Ning in raising his army, and now their support has finally paid off.

Yangzhou City was attached to King Ning, and those Jinyiwei sent by the Son of Heaven naturally stopped, and they dared to enter Yangzhou City to deal with the crimes of their families.

But not long ago, bad news came from Jiangxi and Nanjing. The generals under King Ning were defeated several times, and even Nanjing City was blocked by the imperial army led by Chu Yi.

In Yajing's garden, there are still the dozen or so family owners from the previous episode, but now these family owners are not what they used to be.

In the past, Yangzhou Mansion was nominally ruled by Daming. Although they said that they were the lords of Yangzhou City and secretly controlled most of the lifeline of Yangzhou Mansion, they did not dare to take any radical actions on the bright side.

But now it is different. Yangzhou City has openly rebelled against the court and stood on the side of King Ning. As the people who supported King Ning, they naturally changed from darkness to light and completely divided Yangzhou City.

Rather than saying that Yangzhou City belongs to King Ning, it is better to say that Yangzhou City belongs to a dozen large and small families headed by the Xie family.

At this moment, Xie Mingyu and the others were all excitedly looking at the edict of King Ning that came from Nanjing City.

King Ning issued an edict, allowing the local gentry to recruit volunteers to form an army of the King of Qin to go to the King of Qin in Nanjing.

In the eyes of Xie Mingyu and others, this is naturally great news.

These aristocratic families have great influence in the local area. There are at least thousands of tenant households attached to them, and the servants in the family are hundreds of thousands of people.

But they have no military power in their hands. Even if they carve up the power of Yangzhou City, they can only control a certain number of troops and horses through the officials of Yangzhou City.

But now King Ning actually gave them an edict, allowing them to recruit volunteers to form the King of Diligence Army, and there was no limit to the number of volunteers who could be recruited.

That is to say, if they want, they can take Ning Wang's edict and form thousands or even tens of thousands of troops on their own.

No one is a fool. If they can control tens of thousands of troops, they will definitely have a great right to speak in this Jiangnan land, and even King Ning and even the imperial court will treat them differently.

Xie Mingyu coughed lightly, tapped the table lightly, looked around at the group of people and said, "Everyone, everyone, everyone has seen the edict sent by King Ning to various places. I wonder if you have any opinions on this?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and no one is the first to express an opinion.

I saw Maud who was sitting beside him slowly opening his mouth and said: "King Ning has even given such a will. It can be seen that the situation in Nanjing City is very bad at this time. If it is not forced to help, I believe that King Ning will not. Will make such a will!"

In fact, everyone knows this very well. What are the consequences of allowing local aristocrats to recruit soldiers on their own? Everyone is a scholar, who hasn't read the history books yet?

Once the military power overflows, it will inevitably lead to the rise of local heroes, and the first threat is the imperial power. Therefore, as long as someone in the upper ranks is so sensible, he will definitely not release such tigers easily.

This strategy is to drink poison to quench thirst, and it may be possible to prolong life in the short term, but the consequences are unpredictable.

A wealthy member stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We were worried that relying on Yangzhou City's three thousand soldiers and horses alone would not be enough to protect our safety. Now that King Ning has issued an edict, we should respond, even if it is not for the sake of Lead the army to solve the siege of Nanjing City, at least the army is in hand, and everyone has some confidence!"

"Yes, yes, that's the truth!"

"Don't worry about anything, let's set up Yi Yong first, and then we have soldiers and horses in our hands. No matter what happens, we have room to turn around, don't we!"

Being able to become the head of the family, so not a single one of the people present was a fool, and they all agreed.

Xie Mingyu glanced at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Since everyone agrees, then let Xie say a few words."

Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Mingyu, only to hear Xie Mingyu's expression straight: "Everyone, I can be said to be a grasshopper on a rope, once King Ning is defeated, the imperial army will definitely not let us support King Ning. Those who raise troops, so we must find a way to protect ourselves, and if we want to protect ourselves, we must have enough strength, as long as we can unite, even the imperial court and King Ning dare not underestimate us."

Saying that, Xie Mingyu said slowly: "So Xie suggested that our thirteen families join forces and do our best to form an army of volunteers."

Some of the patriarchs present were happy when they heard the words, while others frowned.

Mo De coughed softly: "Everyone, as the saying goes, a snake can't have no head. If our thirteen families want to join forces, we must choose a leader. From the following point of view, the head of the Xie family, Wen Tao Wulue, But it is the most suitable!"

Hearing this, Xie Mingyu waved his hands again and again and said, "How can Xie be able to take up such an important task with little knowledge? Everyone should choose another talented person..."

Everyone looked at Mo De and Xie Mingyu's performance, looked at each other, and their hearts were like mirrors.

Among the dozen or so families present, when it comes to power and influence, naturally the Xie family is the leader, and the Mo family is strong enough to rank in the top few. Now it is obvious that the Xie family has joined forces with the Mo family, what else can they say.

Unless a civil unrest is about to break out, they have no other choice at all.

Whether he liked it or not, it was just a cup of tea anyway, Xie Mingyu became the leader of the thirteen coalition forces with a gesture that could not be pushed back.

Xie Mingyu said with a stern look on his face: "Everyone, since it has been decided to form a coalition army, let's discuss the food, gold, silver and even weapons needed to form a coalition army."

Mo De took the lead: "My Mo family is willing to donate [-] stone grains and [-] taels of silver! And select thousands of strong people among the tenants for the needs of the coalition army."

Many people's faces became a little ugly when they heard the words, and the donations that Maud donated were not a lot at all, which meant that they couldn't be too little.

Whether it is grain, gold and silver, or the young and strong among the tenants, they are all they have managed to accumulate, but now they have to take it out, it is really like cutting meat.
