Chapter 817 Little People Do Big Things

Liuzhou

Night falls so quickly. If it is a piece of rice paper during the day, then the night is the thick ink poured down by the great powers. It splashed from the sky, and it feels like the whole world has been dyed black in an instant. Since the Tu family army arrived in Liuzhou, this originally prosperous city has been quiet at night and is surprising.

There are no guests in brothels, and there are no guests in restaurants.

The rich families in the city did not dare to go out and gather together, for fear that they would be targeted by the Tu family army. Everyone has heard that when the Tu family army came from the west, the six hundred miles were gone, and nothing left was left if they could be plundered. However, it seemed that Tu had not planned to attack the rich families in Liuzhou City. It seemed that he planned to live here forever and not as good as the Tathagata did.

Ye Jinnan dragged his legs back from the camp, his steps as heavy as lead. He already knew what happened outside the city during the day, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he was dead.

Except for himself, no one believed that he was not betraying Mu Li. While patrolling in the camp, he could feel the soldiers pointing behind him, and he couldn't even say such pain. He didn't know how Tu knew that Mu Li was going to escape by taking the opportunity to go out of the city to train, but he knew that he had never said a word, and no one knew better than him. But now, everyone was speculating that he had told Tu.

Now, Ye Jinnan finally understood.

Tu must have known Mu Li's visit to his home clearly. Then he let someone let this matter go so that everyone knows that Mu Li came to his house yesterday. Then, the next speculation would be that no one would need to help him point the way.

He had no way of explaining.

He didn't want to explain.

When he crossed the street, his eyes were on his feet. In the afternoon, the news that Tu personally led his troops to destroy Muli's troops began to spread in the city. After he learned about it, he immediately rode out of the city to confirm that at the foot of Tenno Mountain, he saw the dead bodies everywhere and incomplete dead bodies.

The streets are so quiet, and the moonlight drags his shadow out of the elders. People are lonely, and their shadows are so lonely.

He knew that there might be an internal thief in his family. Otherwise, even if Tu knew that Mu Li had come to him, he would not have known that Mu Li wanted to escape. Someone would have died and reported to Tu, otherwise Tu would not have known Mu Li's plan so clearly. If there was no problem with his family, it would have been a problem with Mu Li's men.

Ye Jinnan prefers the latter because only two or three trusted veterans in his family know about this. Those veterans followed Ye Jinnan and died. Ye Jinnan didn't believe they would betray him and Mu Li.

"You're sad?"

The sound came from the front, as if it was far away and very close, and it drifted into Ye Jinnan's ears, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

Ye Jinnan looked up and looked forward and found a person standing in the middle of the street in front.

Slaughter

"I'm sad, too."

Tu looked at Ye Jinnan and said softly: "The reason why I haven't taken action is to give him a chance to repent. As long as he doesn't do it, I can pretend to be ignorant of this. So I just watched, waited, and hoped that this would not happen. Unfortunately... the food went against my wishes."

Tu looked up at the moon, and seemed really sad: "After all, he is also someone who has been in love with me for about twenty years. I feel unbearable if I kill him. But if I don't kill him, how many people will learn from him?"

Ye Jinnan looked at Tu tightly. If his eyes could kill people, Tu would be a broken corpse now.

"Why do you have to be hypocritical?"

He sneered and asked, "Even if Mu Li didn't plan to leave, you won't let him go sooner or later, right? Not only him, you won't let those old people go, right? When Duan Bianxiong was fighting with the imperial men, the prince sent you to lead troops to support him, but you deliberately delayed it, so that Duan Bianxiong was outnumbered and died."

"On the day when the first battle with the Iron Armored Army, Zhu Quan led his troops to attack the enemy's left wing, and you are responsible for supporting him. Zhu Quan had obviously led his troops into the enemy's formation. As long as you led the troops to rush up, the enemy's left wing would inevitably be defeated, but you did not. You watched the Iron Armored Army roll back and kill all the Zhu Quan's troops trapped in the enemy's formation..."

"When Cui Lunhai died in battle, you were also watching coldly from the side, right?"

Ye Jinnan's smile was so cold: "Why is this happening? Because you guessed that the prince would be defeated, right? The prince and Yang Jian fought seriously and were seriously injured. You were the only one who saw it. But you did not protect the seriously injured prince, but returned to the camp, and the first thing you did was to seize the position of coach!"

"Now, there are only three of us left in the Ten Masters of Romon. Even if Mu Li does nothing, you will kill him. Why bother pretending to be sorry?"

"People..."

Tu smiled and said, "Actually, it's better to be stupid. If you can't tell anything, you can live a long life. But... I don't plan to kill you. You are so smart, you must know why, right?"

Ye Jinnan smiled miserably: "How come I don't know? You deliberately made people think that I betrayed Mu Li. Now everyone in the camp believes it and scolds me behind the scenes. Now I can no longer make them trust me. I don't have any threat to you, so it's the same whether you kill me or not."

"It's not just that."

Tu smiled and said, "I have to keep one, otherwise people will scold me for being ruthless. When you are alive, when someone says I am ruthless to my old friends, I can point at you and say something wrong. Isn't there another one? Don't worry, I will not only keep you, but also use you more seriously. At least it makes people look like this. People in the entire camp say I am ruthless, I know, so I need someone to stand up and be scolded for me. Everyone is scolding you, and I will be purified. How great is it."

"If you don't kill me, I can still kill myself."

Ye Jinnan Road.

He spread his hands: "You can do whatever you want, but after you die, everyone will probably say... Look, the person named Ye Jinnan must not be able to stand the condemnation of his conscience and commit suicide. Such a person really deserves to die, it's best to die."

A look of despair flashed in Ye Jinnan's eyes, and he didn't know what to say.

"Let's live."

Tu turned around and walked into the depths of the darkness: "I have another reason to leave you... I need a Luo Yao's old subordinate to come and witness it with my own eyes. I am better than him, and I will do what he can't do. When you go down in the future, tell Luo Yao how I surpass him step by step. Whether it is cultivation or achievement, I will be higher than him."

...

...

Mu Li took the water bag that Zuo Mingchan handed him and took a sip. The water was poured from the river. It had been half a day and a half night. Since he gradually struggled from a soldier in the left vanguard, he had not drunk raw water for a long time. With his status, even when he went to war, there were personal soldiers who boiled water and made tea for him.

The water now tastes astringent, but also bitter.

The mouth is bitter, the heart is bitter.

"Luotu is very close to the people in Tonggu Academy..."

He shook his head and made his thoughts clearer: "I heard Ye Jinnan mention that he reached some kind of agreement with the people of Tonggu Academy. The people of Tonggu Academy helped him improve his cultivation and fight with the iron-armored general of the court. After his cultivation level was improved, he did not do as the wishes of Tonggu Academy, but brought his men to Liuzhou. Now it seems that he came to Liuzhou to secretly train the firearm camp."

"The Iron Armor Army has unparalleled combat power, and its only weakness is that its speed is too slow. Today I saw the power of the musket, which is not enough to destroy the heavy iron armor on the Iron Armor Army, but the power of the artillery is great enough. Without any defense, I will definitely suffer a loss when facing the Iron Armor Army."

He recalled and said, "I have observed during the day that Luo Tu's hand should have about twenty artillery pieces. He dared not fight with the Iron Armored Army at this number. Although the artillery is the nemesis of the Iron Armored Army, the number is too small after all."

"He will definitely trade with foreigners!"

Zuo Mingchan said, "He wants to stay in Liuzhou for a while and wait for the next batch of firearms to arrive. As far as I know, the iron-armed general led at least 15,000 iron-armed troops to the south. If he wants to defeat this army, he will need at least a hundred artillery to be safe. The power of the musket is not enough, so it is used to deal with other armies."

From Mu Li, the purpose of Luo Tu purchasing firearms was determined. Zuo Mingchan had an idea in his mind: "As long as we find a way to destroy Luo Tu's transaction with foreigners, so that the number of firearms will no longer increase, with his current strength, he still cannot defeat the Iron Armored Army."

"It's easy to say, it depends on these four people under your command?"

"In another ten days, about dozens of subordinates will come to support me first."

Zuo Mingchan replied.

“It’s still not enough…”

Mu Li gritted his teeth: "After dawn tomorrow, I will go out and see how many of my subordinates have escaped. If we can gather a group of people, we can rob the goods that Luo Tu bought halfway."

"It's not enough."

Zuo Mingchan suddenly asked, "Where is your navy?"

Mu Li was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Instigate the navy!"

Zuo Mingchan said solemnly: "General Mu, how to destroy Luo Tu's transaction with foreigners is what we are good at. You need to do more important things. If you gather your old subordinates tomorrow, 10% of them will be discovered by Luo Tu's people, so it's better to leave and find the navy. As long as you can convince the navy general to leave, it would be like cutting off one of Luo Tu's armies! Without the navy, it would be difficult for him to go north and he would not be able to avoid the iron armored army of the court!"

"From the current situation..."

Zuo Mingchan analyzed: "Whether the troops of Tonggu Academy win or the iron armored army of the court wins, the next target is Luo Tu. That's why Luo Tu is eager to buy firearms. He is preparing to fight the winner between Tonggu Academy and the court. Once he wins, he can control the entire Jiangnan, then gradually develop his strength, and finally cross the river northward..."

"Even if he is defeated in the future decisive battle, there is nothing to worry about with the navy. At worst, I can just go back to Jiangbei... So, I ask General Mu to take a trip to the navy!"

Zuo Mingchan clasped his fists and said, "If we can instigate the navy, General Mu doesn't have to come back. He will take the navy to Huangyang Road to join my lord. If he takes the navy over there, General Mu will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Black Flag Army. My lord is kind and righteous, General Mu should know what the best choice is!"

Mu Li was silent for a while and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll go east as soon as the sky is dawn. Now the navy fleet is docking on the Dahong River, about 170 miles away from here. If I were sooner than three or four days, I would be able to arrive. Although the navy general Zheng Qiu and I have no close friendship, this person has long been dissatisfied with Luo Tu. I am 60% sure to convince him, but you must go with me..."

Mu Li said: "You are from the Black Flag Army, and your words are more important than me!"

Zuo Mingchan nodded after thinking about it, and couldn't help but feel excited. He said nothing, he not only discovered Luo Tu's purchase of firearms when he arrived in Liuzhou, but also had the opportunity to make such a huge contribution. Once he could instigate Luo Tu's navy to rebel, it would be like adding a huge combat power to the Black Flag Army.

He swallowed and suddenly realized that he might change the situation of the world.
