This is an extremely empty big room, with red cloths hung everywhere, a copper chime half a person's height is at hand, smoke is curling from the incense burner in the shape of a crane, and there is no one around.
A large number of memories washed Li Yan's mind, he closed his eyes for a while, and immediately frowned.
The situation is more critical than Li Yan imagined!
Six years have passed since Nanyang. When the Nanyang bandits broke the siege of Guangzhou, the government took advantage of the opportunity to throw out the olive branch of the Zhaoan bandits. Zhu Ben, the former bandit, was the first to respond, and suddenly became the deputy general of the government.
In the next few years, the government adopted the desperate plan of cutting off food, stopping aid, and banning ships from going to sea. Gradually eroded the space for piracy activities. Last year, regardless of the wolf ambition of foreigners to attack Guangzhou, they formed a joint army with the East India Company to wipe out sea thieves.
The Hongqi gang bore the brunt and suffered huge losses.
At the beginning, there were five hundred ships with red flags, more than a thousand guns, and more than ten thousand soldiers capable of fighting, with countless guns and ammunition, and the army was magnificent. But six years have passed, and now the total number of ships with red flags is only three hundred. There is a shortage, and people's hearts are floating.
To make matters worse, there was a secret report on the desk in Li Yan's hand, which was delivered yesterday.
? According to the secret report, the government secretly transferred food, grass and military equipment from Zhejiang and Fujian. The shortest time is four or five days, and the longest time is a month. Among the coalition forces, apart from the British gunboats, there are also White Banner Shi Tianying, Yellow Banner Xu Longsi, Black Banner remnants, etc. It turned out that they were recruited by the government one after another, and now they are all the pioneers of the soldiers pointing to Lantau Island!
This is also the direct reason why Ren Tu sent the distress letter. If Li Yan doesn't take action to rectify it, the Red Flag Gang will be doomed this time!
Li Yan thought for a while, and was about to send a conversation to Zha Xiaodao, but the other party's conversation came in first.
"Something's not right!" Zha Xiaodao said in a deep voice, "I was going to see you, but I was stopped by Chao Yi's gang of Gaoli ghosts with muskets. The atmosphere on the island is weird today, and something may happen."
After hearing this, Li Yan stood up, moved his neck, and said in a deep voice: "Just go, don't make trouble for Xue Ba and the others. I'll be there soon."
"Got it, take care of yourself."
After Zha Xiaodao finished speaking, he hung up the conversation.
Li Yan looked around, picked up the gavel on the ground and knocked on the copper chime, the sound of metal and stone echoed around the beam, and after a while, there was the sound of running outside the house, and there were several figures in front of the window.
"Brother Tianbao, what are your orders?"
A Gaoli ghost said in a deep voice.
"Zheng Yunsheng, are you on duty today?"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Oh~ Qian Manzi was originally on duty. He drank too much wine last night, slipped and fell down a mountain stream, and broke a leg. He is resting now."
"I see that there are quite a lot of people outside? My yard is rarely visited by people, so there is no need for too many guards."
"Brother Tianbao, you don't know. Recently, some minions have often come ashore, and several brothers have been killed or injured. Therefore, manpower patrols have been added to all halls. You think it's an eyesore, so we're going to disperse?"
Zheng Yunsheng said in a deep voice.
"Oh, that's fine. Has anyone been to me lately?"
"No."
"That's good. I'm hungry, you can bring me something to eat."
"Understood, Brother Tianbao."
The windows were shadowy, and they all went away after a while.
? Xu Chaoyi is the veteran of the Red Flag Gang, and his subordinates, Gao Ligui, are all copper-skinned and iron-skinned, invulnerable to swords and guns, and they are sharp-sworded figures of the Red Flag Gang. Now, without orders, a few Gaoli ghosts held firearms and seized their other courtyard, and they still refused to let others see themselves. This is clearly a mutiny!
However, nothing happened to Li Yan.
?The Hongqi Gang is now suffering from internal and external troubles. Not to mention external troubles, internal troubles are definitely not useless. He withdrew hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Hongqi gang account. It is easy to take the money away, but there is always a reason to find it. The silver that can fill a room cannot just disappear out of thin air.
The so-called Tianbaozai's obsession with the alchemy of wine and sex is just an excuse for Rentu to wipe Li Yan's ass. The last time Li Yan opened his eyes, his arms were warm and fragrant, but this time he was in a secluded courtyard, and there were not many extravagant things around him, which is evident.
After a while, Zheng Yunsheng came in with a plate of food. There was a steaming roast chicken, two snacks, and a jar of rice wine.
"Brother Tianbao."
Zheng Yunsheng called Li Yan.
Li Yan sipped the rice wine first, then broke off the chicken leg and took a bite, finally picked up the snack, threw it into his mouth for a while, and said vaguely to Zheng Yunsheng: "It is Xu Chaoyi who surrounded my yard.mean? Or do you mean Xiu'er? "
Zheng Yunsheng took two steps back, his expression changed drastically.
"Why don't you talk?"
Li Yan lifted the jar and drank the wine.
Tianbaozai has been in dormancy for six years, but his former appearance as a tiger is still there. After hesitating for a while, Zheng Yunsheng still knelt on the ground on one knee and said, "Tianbao leader Mingjian! Some people in the Hongqi gang colluded with the government and tried to wipe out my Hongqi gang. Brother Chao Yi is called that." I am here to protect the leader, and I have absolutely no disrespect for the leader."
Li Yan wiped the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes: "The food and wine are not poisonous, I'll tell you that you don't have the guts to hurt me, where is Xu Chaoyi?"
Zheng Yunsheng replied honestly: "Master Fang Caixiu summoned all the oral leaders in the name of the leader, and after a stick of incense, he will go to the Martial Arts Hall to discuss matters. Brother Chao Yi should be there."
"Hmph, good. If you still think I'm the leader of the Red Flag Gang, shut your mouth now. If you dare to make a noise, you won't be able to eat and walk around."
Zheng Yunsheng's eyes flashed back and forth, and he nodded.
"Take off your clothes."
Zheng Yunsheng was taken aback for a moment, but facing Li Yan's deep eyes, he had no choice but to follow suit.
Li Yan squeezed Zheng Yunsheng's shoulders and chin, and looked him up and down for a while.
Zheng Yunsheng is slightly shorter and darker than Li Yan, with wider cheekbones, but narrower shoulders than Li Yan. Even in their backs, there is no similarity between the two.
"Click it!"
Li Yan's body made a crackling sound like stir-fried soybeans. He was visibly shorter with the naked eye, the distance between his facial features changed, and his skin color became much darker. It looked at least eighty to ninety percent similar to Zheng Yunsheng.
Li Yan himself can't tell which ability this is in Jacques' map of Destiny. When he failed to see the world, those weak genetic abilities that were extinguished did not disappear from Li Yan, but were digested. An almost instinctive way to combine with Li Yan's physical body.
It's like a baby born to cry and laugh, no need to learn, everything is in harmony with each other.
This is the truth of seeing the world through the eyes.
Zheng Yunsheng's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't help but let out an ah.
Bang~
Li Yan slapped him hard on the forehead, and the Gaoli ghost, known as the copper-skinned and iron-framed man, fell on his back and passed out.
"Tell you to keep quiet."
Li Yan took off his voluminous black robe, put on Zheng Yunsheng's clothes, and walked out grandly.
Several Gaoli ghosts immediately surrounded them.
"Tianbao Longtou said that he wanted to comprehend the magic of immortality, and told us not to disturb him."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them couldn't help complaining: "Shenxian Shenxian, the government has already reached the door, and he even participated in a bird fairy! What's wrong with Tianbao Longtou!"
Li Yan pretended to give the man a stern look, but the man knew he had made a slip of the tongue and quickly shut up.
"You guard the yard, I'll make it easier for you."
Everyone said yes with a bang.
Li Yan went out of the gate without disturbing anyone, until in the martial arts hall, he heard faint human voices coming from the wing. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
