The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Jiangzuo League, the largest gang in Jianghu, is active in the fourteen states of Jiangzuo. It monopolizes the water transportation business and has many masters in the gang. Although the leader Mei Changsu is a weak scholar, he ranks first on the list of Langya masters. , known as "Jiangzuo Meilang".

Today, this talented Qilin man was sitting in his yard, leisurely drinking tea and basking in the sun, looking drowsy.

In fact, as the leader of the largest gang in the world, Mei Changsu usually doesn't have much to do. He knows that the most important thing for a manager is not to be able to do things, but to manage people.

Regarding his subordinates, Mei Changsu has always known how to delegate power. He does not trust those who are suspicious but does not trust those who employ.

More importantly, he was too weak to bear the heavy workload.

"Sect Master, it's time to drink medicine." Li Gang, the helmsman of the Jiangzuo Alliance, walked up to Mei Changsu and brought a bowl of medicinal soup that was very bitter from the smell.

"I feel good today, and I haven't had any cold symptoms, so I don't need to take medicine!" Mei Changsu said calmly.

Li Gang smiled and said: "Doctor Yan specially asked me to drink this medicine. If you don't drink it, I will have to tell Dr. Yan later."

"That weird old man knew how to make me drink medicine, but he didn't see my illness getting better." Mei Changsu sat up reluctantly and slowly reached for the medicine bowl.

At this moment, a figure passed by as fast as lightning and suddenly appeared in front of Mei Changsu.

"Brother Su, let's play hide and seek."

Seeing the person coming, Mei Changsu didn't react at all. Li Gang was startled. He couldn't even hold the medicine bowl steady in his hand and spilled a few drops.

"Xiao Feiliu, how many times have I told you! Don't come out so suddenly. What if you scare the sect master?" Li Gang said to the visitor dissatisfied.

The person standing in front of Mei Changsu was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with handsome features and good martial arts skills, but his eyebrows were a bit silly.

"Brother Su is not as useless as you. He will never be scared by me." The young man Fei Liu stuck out his tongue at Li Gang.

"Okay!" Mei Changsu said with a smile: "I want to drink medicine. Fei Liu, you go read the book by yourself first."

"Ah! Reading again!" Fei Liu said with a bitter look on his face: "Reading is the worst fun."

As he spoke, Feiliu jumped up and flew to the roof, showing off his outstanding Qinggong.

"This Fei Liu ran away as soon as he was asked to read a book. Now he doesn't even know a hundred words, so he is relying on you, the sect master, to pamper him." Li Gang looked at Fei Liu who was escaping, complaining, and handed the medicine bowl to him. Go to Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu held the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. No matter how bitter the medicine soup was, he didn't even frown.

Returning the empty bowl to Li Gang, Mei Changsu said, "Has the person who protected Jingyan been arranged?"

Li Gang said respectfully: "We have mobilized more than a dozen masters in the gang to secretly protect Prince Jing. However, Zhuo Dingfeng from Tianquan Villa is very powerful in martial arts and ranks fourth on the Langya master list. I'm afraid our people are no match for him. Should we put him there?" Zhen Ping will also be transferred there?"

After Mei Changsu was silent for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay, we must protect Jingyan's safety this time."

Li Gang complained: "Prince Jing did the same thing this time. He just brought a guard on the road. It's too dangerous."

Mei Changsu glanced at Li Gang calmly, and he was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

At this time, a strong, slightly fat man hurriedly ran into the yard.

"Sect Master, it's not good."

When Li Gang saw the person coming, he frowned and scolded: "Tong Lu, what are you talking about? The sect leader is very good."

Tong Lu trotted all the way to Mei Changsu, panting heavily and stammering: "I, I didn't mean that."

Mei Changsu smiled and said: "Li Gang, don't scare Tong Lu, let him calm down and talk properly."

Tong Lu swallowed, finally recovered, and said, "Something happened over there with Prince Jing!"

Mei Changsu's face was straight, his right fist was clenched slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"What happened to His Highness Prince Jing? Did Zhuo Dingfeng succeed?" Li Gang said in shock.

"No, it's not." Tong Lu shook his head and said, "It's not that Zhuo Dingfeng succeeded, but that he was captured by Prince Jing!"

Now even Mei Changsu could no longer remain calm.

"You speak clearly!"

Tong Lu collected his thoughts and said: "I just received the letter from Fei Ge. Zhuo Dingfeng and his son assassinated Prince Jing, but he captured him alone. Now Prince Jing is forcing Zhuo Dingfeng and his son to return to Jinling."

Mei Changsu's pupils shrank and he was slightly surprised: "Jingyan captured Zhuo Dingfeng and his son?"

"That's right, according to the reports from those who have been protecting His Highness Prince Jing, Zhuo Dingfeng and his son suffered a terrible loss this time." Tong Lu said.

Mei Changsu frowned deeply, seeming to be thinking.

"When did Prince Jing's martial arts become so high that he could defeat Zhuo Dingfeng and his son!" Li Gang said in disbelief.

"Now is not the time to think about this. Zhuo Dingfeng and his son were forced to go to Jinling, which will have some impact on our plan!" Mei Changsu said in a deep voice:
"We cannot let Zhuo Dingfeng and his son arrive at Jinling and try to rob them halfway!"

Li Gang and Tong Lu were surprised: "What, we are going to save Zhuo Dingfeng?!"

Mei Changsu was also helpless. Zhuo Dingfeng and his son were the most important part of him in bringing down Ning Guohou Xie Yu, but now they were caught by mistake, completely disrupting all his plans.

Moreover, Prince Jing's martial arts skills were beyond Mei Changsu's expectations. Even the fourth master of Langya was easily defeated by him, and he didn't know if it would affect his future plans.

In short, things have changed and all plans have to be adjusted. However, the most anxious person now is not Mei Changsu, but Xie Yu.

Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ning State, who was far away in Jinling City, also received the news that Zhuo Dingfeng and his son had been arrested, and almost broke his desk into pieces.

"They were caught, why didn't they die outside!" Xie Yu was furious and slashed around the house with his sword, wishing to kill Zhuo Dingfeng and his son from the air.

The person who sent Zhuo Dingfeng to assassinate Prince Jing was Xie Yu.

The prince was afraid of Wang Gang and wanted to get rid of him quickly, so Xie Yu used the fastest "knife" in his hand.

But he never expected that Zhuo Dingfeng, who was fourth on the Langya master list, and Zhuo Qingyao, the number one master of the younger generation, would fail and be captured in a joint assassination attempt by father and son.

If the assassination failed and he died, Xie Yu wouldn't be so angry.

The living Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao pose a greater threat to him.

Everyone in the world knew that Zhuo Qingyao was his Xie Yu's son-in-law, and the Zhuo and Xie families were as close as one family.

Now that the Zhuo family is running to assassinate the current prince, the Xie family cannot shirk it no matter what.

What's even more troublesome is that over the years, Xie Yu has used Zhuo Dingfeng as a "sword" to eradicate dissidents, and Zhuo Dingfeng has a lot of dirty information about him.

If Zhuo Dingfeng is forced to Jinling, cannot bear the torture and extorts a confession, and reveals something that should not be revealed, everyone from the Ningguo Marquis Mansion to his family will be buried with him.

"No, Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao must die." A sinister look appeared on Xie Yu's face.

Xie Yu called his close men and wrote a letter to Xia Jiang, the head of the Xuanjing Division, asking him to meet outside.

The only person who can help him Xie Yu now is Xia Jiang.

It's just a coincidence that Xia Jiang was sent out by Emperor Liang to do something because of the Yan-Liang War, and he hasn't returned to Beijing yet. By the time he received the letter, the day lilies were already cold.

Just when Xie Yu was at a loss, father and son Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao miraculously returned to the Ningguo Hou Mansion.

When Xie Yu saw Zhuo Dingfeng and his son, he looked like he had seen a ghost.

"How did you come back?"

Zhuo Dingfeng looked pale and looked very embarrassed. He looked like the fourth master in the world.

Zhuo Qingyao was even worse. One of his arms was twisted by Wang Gang, and the injury was more serious than that of his father. "Master Hou, didn't you send someone to rescue us?" Zhuo Dingfeng said in surprise.

Xie Yu was greatly surprised and hurriedly asked, only to learn that after Zhuo Dingfeng and his son were captured by mistake, they were forced by King Jing to go to Jinling. When they were taking a waterway and taking a boat, they were attacked by a group of river pirates.

That group of people came and went like the wind, were very good at water fighting, and had a large number of people. They took advantage of the chaos to rescue Zhuo Dingfeng and his son and sent them to Jinling.

"Those are not my people." Xie Yu's head was spinning. Who was this person who secretly saved Zhuo Dingfeng?

"You were captured by mistake, didn't you say anything you shouldn't have said?" Xie Yu asked.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. After we were captured, we poured dirty water on King Yu and did not reveal anyone else." Zhuo Qingyao said.

Xie Yu's brows relaxed a little, but he was not completely relieved yet.

"Prince Jing knows your identities, I'm afraid he won't let it go!" Xie Yu sighed.

Zhuo Dingfeng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, even if our father and son die, the Hou Mansion will not be affected."

Zhuo Qingyao also expressed his position: "Yes, if Prince Jing pursues the case, the worst we can do is blame Prince Yu. We will never implicate the father-in-law and the prince. It's just that Qier will be burdened by the father-in-law's care."

Xie Yu said hypocritically: "What are you talking about? I, who sent you to assassinate Prince Jing, will naturally be the one to take care of things if something goes wrong.

Besides, I don’t think there is room for change in this matter. "

Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao said happily: "It's true."

Who wants to die if they can live!

Xie Yu muttered: "As long as you are not caught, Prince Jing will take the case to the emperor. There is nothing he can do against us without evidence!"

Zhuo Dingfeng said: "Prince Jing is very hidden. His martial arts is very high, and he is enough to aspire to be the best in the world."

Xie Yu said with great interest: "Is it true? Prince Jing has always been upright in the past, but he hid his martial arts skills. He must also covet the position of prince."

Zhuo Dingfeng said worriedly: "Master Hou, you must remind the prince to be careful of Prince Jing."

"It's okay. I'll go into the palace to see the prince in a moment. You guys should rest and recuperate." Xie Yu said with concern.

Xie Yu didn't care much about Wang Gang's martial arts. It didn't matter if he was the best in the world. No matter how high his martial arts was, he couldn't compete with thousands of troops.

In fact, martial arts masters can do assassinations, but once they face more than a hundred soldiers, especially those equipped with bows and arrows, they can only flee.

"By the way, the person who saved us brought a message to my father-in-law." Zhuo Qingyao suddenly said:

"They said that Duke Qing was enclosing land in Bingzhou, causing public dissatisfaction."

Xie Yu suddenly became quiet after hearing this, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

Duke Guo of Qing was a man who admired the king and made money for him outside.

"Who are this group of people?" Xie Yu lowered his head and pondered.

Zhuo Dingfeng frowned and said: "Except for the Jiangzuo Alliance, I can't think of another person with such strength in the Jianghu?"

"The Jiangzuo Alliance, the largest gang in the Jianghu?" Xie Yu asked strangely: "They came to rescue and brought such a message. They obviously wanted to show their goodwill to me!"

Zhuo Dingfeng was a little worried. If he failed in this mission, if Xie Yuru took advantage of the Jiangzuo Alliance again, his Tianquan Villa would have to stand aside.

Over the years, Zhuo Dingfeng helped Xie Yu eliminate dissidents and assassinate high-ranking officials. He did not want to pass through Ning Guohou and board the prince's ship. When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will be a meritorious person.

Although Tianquan Villa is famous in the arena, in the final analysis it is just an organization, and in the eyes of the nobles of the imperial court, it is nothing.

As long as he ensures that the new emperor ascends the throne, the Zhuo family can jump from the world into officialdom.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the gentry class was always at the top.

But if Xie Yu hooks up with Jiangzuo Alliance, his Tianquan Villa will become useless.

Zhuo Dingfeng also knew that the strength gap between Tianquan Villa and Jiangzuo Alliance was too big.

The relationship between Zhuo Xie's two sons and daughters alone is not enough for the Zhuo family to achieve a class leap.

Xie Yu did not only have Xie Qi, a daughter, not to mention that this daughter was just a concubine and was not favored by Xie Yu.

"Master Hou, Mei Changsu, the leader of the Jiangzuo League, is the number one son of Langya. He has a big head. In just a few years, he has developed the Jiangzuo League into the largest gang in the world. This person has big plans, so we must guard against him! " Zhuo Dingfeng advised.

Xie Yu didn't take it seriously, but he also knew that he couldn't chill people's hearts, so he said: "Don't worry, Lord Zhuo, I will be on guard."

How could Zhuo Dingfeng rest assured? He used to be called father-in-law when they had a good relationship, but now he is called Zhuo Zhuangzhu.

What's the meaning?Do you want to tear down the bridge before the river has crossed?
Xie Yu rolled his eyes and said to Zhuo Qingyao: "Xian son-in-law, don't go back to the Hou Mansion recently, lest Qier notice that you are injured."

Zhuo Qingyao's face turned green. He could clearly hear Xie Yu's alienation from him.

"Yes, Mr. Yue Zhang."

After Zhuo and his son left the Hou Mansion, Xie Yu immediately went to the palace to see the prince.

…………

Not long after Zhuo and his son entered Jinling, Wang Gang and Lie Zhanying on the other side also arrived outside Jinling City by water.

In fact, when people from the Jiangzuo League came to rescue the Zhuo family and his son, Wang Gang knew what Mei Changsu meant, so he favored him and deliberately let the Zhuo family and his son leave.

Otherwise, the Zhuo family and his son would not be alive today.

Wang Gang also knew in his heart that the Zhuo family and his son played a vital role in Mei Changsu's plan.

At the same time, Wang Gang also understood that it was almost impossible to rely on the Zhuo family to pull down the prince. Even Xie Yu could escape intact as long as he broke his arm and abandoned the Zhuo family.

Although assassinating a prince is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans, it also depends on which prince is assassinated.

Wang Gang, Prince Jing, can bully anyone in Daliang, even if his grandma doesn't love him or his uncle doesn't love him.

If King Yu was assassinated, Emperor Liang might be able to kill the ten Zhuo clans.

However, Wang Gang's favor is not so easy to obtain. Mei Changsu will have to use the throne to repay it in the future!

Yes, Wang Gang has his heart set on the throne.

The starting point of his status in this time travel is too high, and the emperor has no chance to sit on it.

When he was in Zhifu World, his relatives were in power, but in the end he did not usurp the Song Dynasty and establish himself as an emperor.

This time he traveled through time and became King Jing, and from now on he will be the Emperor of Liang even if he lies down.

Wang Gang's ambition is not only the throne of Daliang, he wants the whole world!
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing!" A familiar call made Wang Gang temporarily put down his ambitions.

He turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a group of soldiers galloping towards them on horseback.

The leader had superb riding skills. When he came to Wang Gang, he jumped off his horse. His movements were smooth and beautiful.

"It is indeed you, His Highness Prince Jing."

The person dismounted was wearing armor, had a handsome face, and was quite heroic. She turned out to be a female general and an old acquaintance of Wang Gang!
"Princess Nihuang!" Wang Gang smiled.

Just when I was thinking about Mei Changsu, I met his old lover. What kind of fate is this!
