The next morning, Song Yuzhi sent a message: "Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. He pledged his loyalty to the Turkic Khan Shibi and promised to give all the property he had collected to Shibi Khan in exchange for the Turkic people not to move south."

"Very good! This gives me another reason to hate the Li family." Su Yuchen said lightly.

Song Yuzhi said:

"Master Shi, don't worry too much."

"Although Liu Wuzhou is attached to the Turks, he will not listen to the Turks in everything. If Li Yuan leads his troops to Chang'an, Liu Wuzhou will definitely take the opportunity to attack Taiyuan."

"And on the way to Guanzhong, there are two Sui generals, Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong, guarding the pass. It is not so easy to take Guanzhong."

Su Yuchen stood up and said: "Yuzhi, you are wrong. I don't care if the Li family pays tribute to the Turks, as long as he does not lead the Turkish cavalry into the pass. But if he treats the people of the Central Plains as wealth and goods and hands them over to the Turks, it is a way to die."

After that, Su Yuchen was too lazy to say anything more, and stood up and headed towards the riverside dock. The merchant ships of the Song family had unloaded their cargo overnight, waiting for Su Yuchen to set sail for Jingling.

………………

Su Yuchen sailed south all the way, and he was close to Jingling in just over 20 days.

It is interesting to say that when Su Yuchen was on the river, he saw the navy of the Jianghuai Army from afar. According to the narrator's hint, the leader was Li Zitong, who was ordered by Du Fuwei to cut off the waterway.

But for some reason, Li Zitong took a look at the merchant ship of the Song clan from afar, and then suddenly left with a group of navy. It was completely different from what Song Yuzhi said.

Su Yuchen didn't know that at this time, after being spread by someone with a purpose, his appearance and clothes had already spread to the ears of various forces, and everyone knew it. In addition, the Jianghuai Army was in Liyang, so they naturally knew that the "Shilong" was no longer in Yangzhou, but went north.

So when Li Zitong saw the figure on the boat, he chose to flee far away as soon as possible. After all, no one was sure to face him alone. Of course, if Li Zitong had five or six thousand navy under his command, he might dare to try it head-on.

Looking at the gate of Jingling from afar, it is a rare pure land. Along the way, there are few soldiers and bandits like in other places. The narrator jumps out to introduce...

[At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Fang Zetao, the general of the Jingling City garrison, occupied Jingling and established a monopoly villa to wait for a wise master]

[Fang Zetao used his brothers as the backbone and the Jingling garrison as the foundation to build a semi-official and semi-official force to radiate around Jingling, protect the territory and the people, and expel the rebels and bandits]

[However, his fate was full of twists and turns. He met the demon sect Wan Wan who wanted to steal the power of Jingling. Who did he love more, the country or the beauty]

[With the witch Wan Wan stirring up the storm outside and the brothers secretly admiring the witch inside, the situation in Jingling City is changing right in front of us]

"I didn't expect to come at the right time!"

Su Yuchen stepped into Jingling City, and the city was much more lively. Although there were still sad faces, the people's mental outlook looked good.

However, Su Yuchen came here to kidnap someone, and this person was Xu Xingzhi, who worked in Fang Zetao's Duba Villa. In the first life, Su Yuchen occasionally heard from his friends that this person was a rare talent for governing, and his strategy was comparable to "Fang Mou Du Duan" under Li Er.

Whether to integrate Yangzhou first or leave it to Song Shidao, this person is Su Yuchen's only choice.

[Xu Xingzhi, a native of Jingling, was poor since childhood, but he was studious. He went to many places to study. Later, Fang Zetao established Duba Villa, and Xu Xingzhi went there to apply for a job, but his talent was not recognized. Now he works as a clerk under Fang Daoyuan, the right vanguard of Duba Villa]

[Xu Xingzhi has the talent to govern the world. At this time, he has noticed the abnormality in Jingling and is deeply worried. He will remind Fang Daoyuan today that he decided to leave Jingling and live in seclusion because he was not recognized.]

[You can go to the 'Xinghua Tavern' in the east of the city and wait. He will go there to get drunk in the evening and make up his mind to leave Jingling.]

"It seems that it will be easy to kidnap this peerless talent." After reading the narration, Su Yuchen stopped passers-by and asked where the 'Xinghua Tavern' was, and walked all the way there.

Sure enough, in the evening, Su Yuchen saw a middle-aged scholar walking in. He walked calmly and confidently, his eyes were full of spirit, and he was obviously proficient in martial arts. There was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows. Although he had something on his mind, he was not panicked.

[You met Xu Xingzhi]

The middle-aged scholar just glanced and walked towards Su Yuchen. He sat opposite Su Yuchen, smiled faintly, and calmly said, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Oh?" Su Yuchen was a little curious and said, "Why is Mr. Xu sure that I am waiting for you?"

Xu Xingzhi laughed and said, "I was not sure at first, but now I am sure. Xu Xingzhi has met Master Shi!"

Su Yuchen couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Xu, can you tell me in detail?"

Xu Xingzhi was still calm and said...

"Then Xu will try to say it! If there is anything wrong, Master Shi can prove it. "

"First, Xu often comes to this 'Xinghua Restaurant', and he naturally knows what kind of people there are. But Master Shi is here for the first time, so naturally I will pay special attention to him."

"Second, Master Shi has a set of bowls and chopsticks placed opposite him, so he is naturally waiting for someone. And the people who often come here are either rough men or ordinary people with a few spare money. Master Shi is naturally not waiting for them."

"Third, Master Shi himself has a strange charm. Sitting here, looking at him for a long time is like a pearl in the sand, which makes people look over involuntarily. But it doesn't feel abrupt. This contradictory abnormality is enough to prove that he is a martial arts master. "

"Fourth, Master Shi's clothes and appearance have long been circulated among those who are interested. If you are interested in finding out, you can naturally know. It just so happens that Xu is such a person. "

"Fifth, the comments made by Shishi in Beidi and the eldest lady of the Song clan about Yang Guang have been spread to Jingling. It is not far from here. If we calculate the time, we can just reach Jingling by boat."

"All kinds of coincidences make Xu think that Shishi has come to Jingling City."

Su Yuchen couldn't help but admire: "Excellent inference, bold assumption, careful verification. Mr. Xu didn't let me down."

Xu Xingzhi was slightly surprised and whispered: "Bold assumption, careful verification. These eight words instantly understood the meaning."

Then he bowed and said: "Shishi came here to ask Xushi to work for the Song clan."

Su Yuchen asked in surprise: "Does Mr. Xu have any opinions about the aristocratic families?"

Xu Xingzhi couldn't help shaking his head: "Xushi has no prejudice against any forces, and I plan to go to Lingnan to avoid disaster."

Su Yuchen understood: "But for the woman in Fang Zetao's house? "

Xu Xingzhi was slightly stunned, then smiled: "I didn't expect that Master Shi also knew this person. This woman's appearance was too abnormal at the beginning. I always felt that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person. I reminded Fang Daoyuan, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately, neither Fang Daoyuan nor others believed it." Su Yuchen continued.

Xu Xingzhi smiled bitterly:

"Now in Jingling City, almost all the powerful members of the Fang family are bewitched by that woman, and the disaster of destruction is just around the corner."

"Since Master Shi knows this person, can you tell me who this woman is?"

Su Yuchen nodded: "Have you heard of Yinkui Sect?"

ps: I can't guarantee a break during the Chinese New Year, and I guarantee that I won't rest during the Chinese New Year.
