At this time, it was dawn, and there were still no pedestrians on the road. The people in Yangzhou City were frightened by the earth-shaking shouts and killings from the palace last night. The door was closed and they didn't leave the house. I'm afraid that it would be difficult to save their lives.

When we arrived at "Manfulou", there was only one restaurant here on this street. If it were the same as before, Yangzhou would be very lively at this time, especially the restaurants and restaurants next to each street, because it was the time for small vendors from all over the country and fishermen in the city to prepare for the day's business. But look at the current Yangzhou City, the "Manfulou", which was originally the largest restaurant in the city, was deserted at this time. Needless to say, there was a human being, and there was not even a bird.

At this time, a friend who was cleaning the open space outside the store saw more than a dozen people coming to the restaurant. He was about to get up to say hello, but suddenly he saw that I was walking in the front, and Shuanglong and a dozen people were following me. Seeing that I blinked at him, he was stunned at first, and then he hurriedly smiled and said:

"It turns out that I am Lord Shang. Why are you free to visit the shop today? Do you don't have to accompany General Dugu to inspect military affairs? What a distinguished guest, please come and invite me."

"Haha, this guy is good, he reacts very quickly. Listen to him, this regular customer here at that time." I glanced at the guy in front of me with appreciation. Because I really don't want Shang Lie to know the existence of an organization with absolutely powerful strength "Tianya Huange", because this is the largest ace in my hand, the fewer people know, the better. In fact, even Shuanglong didn't know that I had such a powerful force. With their talents, they would definitely doubt that I could enter and exit the front yard of "Manfu Building" at will, but I would never think that I am the owner of this place now. I'm afraid they just think that I am more familiar with the boss here.

It’s not that you can’t tell them the truth or be honest with them. But because you still tell them the best time from time to time. They are now at a critical time to improve their skills. The more difficult it is, the more beneficial it is to both of them. This is also the best way to practice the Eternal Life Art.

Shang Lie is really an old customer here, and he is also very popular. In the lobby of the restaurant, almost every friend knew him and took the initiative to say hello to him.

The shopkeeper saw that the visitor was Shang Lie, so he hurriedly came up, calm and pretended not to know me. I praised the disciples of "Tianya Huange" in my heart, but they were really not a big deal, and everyone reacted very quickly, haha, especially the acting skills are even better. If they were in modern times, they might have become a first-class actor.

The shopkeeper came to Shang Lie and said respectfully: "Master Shang hasn't come to visit the shop for some time. Today is a distinguished guest. Haha, no wonder there were magpies calling on the big locust tree in front of the shop early in the morning. It turned out that the distinguished guest was coming, haha, so the younger one asked someone to prepare something early in the morning and wait for the distinguished guest to come."

In fact, all kinds of vegetables, fruits and meat needed by "Manfulou" every day will be prepared at dawn. However, as the saying goes, "Thousands of transmissions are passed on, but the flattery is not passed on." When Shang Lie said this, even if he knew the truth, he was just happy to enjoy it. Now he looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face and said modestly:

"The shopkeeper is joking. I am just a pawn under General Dugu, so he is not a distinguished guest now. Now he is not an adult. Please prepare a private room for us."

How could the shopkeeper not hear the implicit meaning? He asked in a tactful tone: "What does Lord Shang mean? Yesterday, I heard the sound of killing in the palace, but I don't know..." The shopkeeper stopped and stopped talking, knowing what to ask and what not to ask, but he looked at Shang Lie respectfully, waiting for his answer.

Shang Lie is also a smart person. Of course, he understands what the shopkeeper says. If he wants to say, he will naturally tell the shopkeeper. If he doesn't want to say it, he will definitely find an excuse to make excuses.

Shang Lie looked at me, and saw that there was no unhappiness on my face. He thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, since I am treating the shopkeeper as a friend, I will not hide anything." While speaking, he followed the shopkeeper to the "Xuemei Pavilion" next to the "Manju Pavilion" on the third floor. This single room is the west side of the "Manju Pavilion". You can see the scenery near the west gate of Yangzhou City. There are already some urban areas in other urban areas, so it can also be regarded as the famous private room of "Manfu Tower". Even if ordinary wealthy families are rich, they cannot book such a single room. Only those powerful people have this face.

The shopkeeper took us to "Xuemei Pavilion" and waited quietly for Shang Lie to continue.

Shang Lie sat down and saw that I did not object to him throughout the journey and revealed what happened last night, so he said to the shopkeeper: "To be honest, there was indeed a fight in the palace last night. These two teams are the Yuwen Gai and Dugu Gai, two major forces in the court."

The shopkeeper obviously knew that the intelligence network of "Tianya Hai Pavilion" has now reached a larger and more meticulous scale, so how could he not know what happened last night? The shopkeeper still pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? So that's it, I just don't know how the outcome of these two sides?"

Shang Lie smiled faintly and said, "Didn't you say it just now? I'm no longer an adult. Naturally, General Dugu was defeated in this battle, and he was killed by Yu Wen and this despicable villain with despicable methods. The foolish lord Yang Guang also died at Yu Wenji's hands."

The shopkeeper said in surprise: "What? Yang Guang is dead? Haha, this good news must be known to everyone in the world. If you have any needs, please summon the clerk. There are still some important things to beg for you to eat, so I won't beg you for food. Everyone should enjoy it. Goodbye."

Shang Lie also stood up and returned the greeting, and the shopkeeper bowed and said with a leave.

After the shopkeeper's leg was outside the door, Shang Lie turned around and said respectfully to me: "I would like to forgive my subordinates for taking charge without authorization and tell others about Yang Guang's death."

After hearing this, I laughed and said, "Brother Shang did this just in line with my wishes. Even if you don't say anything, I will ask someone to spread this news. Judging from the current situation, the more chaotic the world is, the more beneficial it will be to us. If it fails, I still want to hear your plans."

Shang Lie glanced at me and said, "Yes, lord. I thought that although the battle last night could make Yu Wen and the news scars scars scars, Yu Wen and this despicable villain have always been cured and forgotten. He was humiliated last night, and this person was ruthless, how could he let it go with us?"

Kou Zhong immediately clapped his hands and said, "Haha, Brother Shang's words make sense. Yu Wenbo's bastard has indeed healed the scar and forgot the pain. He was just beaten by his elder brother a year ago, no, it was his sister-in-law who dared to have ulterior motives for us this time and wanted our lives. Haha, who knew that he almost lost his life."

Xu Ziling thought for a while and said, "Does Brother Shang want to deliberately spread the news? In this way, Li Zitong, who is north of Jiangdu, will definitely launch an attack. Not to mention that Yu Wen and his vitality are severely damaged, even when his strength is intact, he can only defend Jiangdu for ten days at most. It is not that Yu Wen and his lack of military strength or the incompetence of Yangzhou's military strength, but that Yu Wen and this general are really too cowardly."

Kou Zhong said: "Zi Ling is right. In terms of martial arts and culture, he can indeed be regarded as a top expert, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he is really an outsider and not even a fool. Against Li Zitong, who was born in a military family, even if he has a big city like Yangzhou, he would probably have to defend himself and be beaten. And he would definitely not be able to defend for long.

Yu Wenji's forces are spread throughout Yangzhou City. Now he is the only one of them, and he is even more rampant in Yangzhou City. We are now swaggering to "Manfulou" to drink. Even if he dare not deal with us openly, he will stab us twice in secret. At that time, we will be the one who is unlucky.

As long as Li Zitong's troops can be attracted to attack Yangzhou City, Yu Wenhua must have been terrified by Li Zitong at that time, so how can he have time to deal with us? I think no matter how stupid he is, he will not cause trouble for us at this time. Then we will give him a slam inside and outside, and he will be in trouble. Haha, Brother Shang's plan is indeed good."

Shang Lie exclaimed in his heart: "These two boys are indeed geniuses. They can guess what I think after half of my words. Their minds are really quick. No wonder they made the whole world mess up in just over a year after their debut. The major forces were made by them and their faces were lost. They even made Li Mi offer a reward for pursuing these two people, but they failed to do it for a long time. However, this is a blessing that Li Mi has cultivated in eight lifetimes. Fortunately, he did not kill Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, otherwise he would have a great murderous intention to get rid of the Wagang Army. Thinking about the lord's martial arts that were invincible last night, it was frightening. It seems that I really have to meet the wise master."

Shang Lie laughed and said, "There are two little brothers who are extremely talented. I thought about this plan for a long time before I thought about it. I didn't expect that the two little brothers could think of the key points in the middle of the talk. I admire it, I really admire it."

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Brother Shang is humble. We two kids are just a coincidence. How can you be experienced with Brother Shang? Haha, but if Brother Shang really admires my talent, I will not be more humble. I have to give you more advice at the table later, haha..."

Everyone was amused by Kou Zhong, the "rogue", and a cheerful banquet started.

After three rounds of drinking, I said to Shang Lie: "Brother Shang, don't call me lord in the future, it sounds awkward. Just call my name directly."

Shang Lie hurriedly shook his head like a rattle and said, "This is absolutely impossible. My subordinates know that the lord is kind to his subordinates, but the rituals of superiority and inferiority must be followed. Otherwise, Is it okay for my subordinates to change their words to call him "Young Master" in the future? However, you are not allowed to call him "Brother Shang". Wouldn't it make people laugh at me for not distinguishing between superiority and inferiority and being disrespectful to the master?"

I smiled and patted Shang Lie on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Shang Lie, you actually bargained with me. Haha, you really have yours, okay, then you can call me "Young Master" in the future, and I will just call you by your name. Now you will be my personal guard. I will give you some advice on your martial arts in two days."
