Start with a hero

Chapter 123
Zhang Shihe lifted the curtain and walked in with great strides.

He reported to Yu Wenhuaji: "Director, I have brought the fat assassin Yougui back, and now he is placed in an inn in the city."

Yu Chisheng's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Okay, after waiting for a month, I finally got you back. So sooner rather than later, I'll let Yougui take action tonight to get rid of Painter Li."

Yu Wenhuaji showed a bit of a smile on his face, and said: "Well, let's do it tonight. Get rid of Li Yizhi first, to avenge brother Yuchi, and to vent my anger on those two old thieves Yu Shiji .By the way, have you brought the account books of the Eastern Ming Sect?"

Zhang Shihe faltered, he lowered his head and said, "Boss, the Haisha gang made a mistake before the attack. The information was leaked in advance, but Dongming took advantage of it. The loss is not small."

"waste!"

Yu Wenhuaji's complexion changed, his aura became fierce, and he said: "A large group of men, with their intentions and intentions, can't even deal with a group of women. What is he doing with Han Gaitian?"

Zhang Shihe hurriedly said: "Boss, this matter is not irreversible. We have received news that the Dongming will pass through Yangzhou and go north along the canal to make deals with various forces."

Yu Wenhuaji's eyes were fixed, and he said in a deep voice, "When?"

"About half a month later." Zhang Shihe said.

Yu Wenhuaji thought for a while before saying: "This is our last chance. When the time comes, I will use the name of a banquet to lure everyone sent by Dongming to the shore, and then let Yuwen Wudi take action, and you will assist from the side."

…………

Pengcheng.

Li's other courtyard, in the back garden.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning sat in the gazebo, drinking tea and chatting.

Li Xiuning put down the teacup, kissed her lips, and said in a crisp voice: "Second brother, there is news that the Dongming was attacked by the Haisha faction when it docked in Hangzhou. Fortunately, the people of the Dongming faction were prepared. That’s the only way to be safe.”

Li Shimin's movements froze slightly, he continued to drink his tea, and said in a mellow and magnetic voice: "Xiu Ning, you mean that the Yuwen family is going to use the account books of the Dongming sect to deal with us?"

"That's right. The Haisha faction is just a dog raised by Yuwen's family. If there is no instruction from Yuwen's family, how dare they dare to attack Dongming."

Li Xiuning had a pretty face and said solemnly, "Second brother, this matter is no small matter. Once Yu Wenhuaji gets the account books of the Dongming account, it will be a disaster for our Li family."

Although the Li family has long had the intention of rebelling, but if they are not prepared enough and act hastily, they may fail.

Li Shimin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You are right. Now the situation is getting more and more complicated. The Yuwen family is ready to move. I am afraid they have plotted to deal with us. Originally, according to the plan, Dongming was going to come to Pengcheng to make a deal with us. Now It seems that we have to set off for Yangzhou."

"Well, Yangzhou is the meeting point of the canal and the Yangtze River. The Dongming ship will definitely dock in Yangzhou. That will be the last chance for the Yuwen family. The first thing we have to do when we rush to Yangzhou is to prevent the Yuwen family from winning the Dongming faction. Secondly, if there is an opportunity, you can also hold the account books in your hands, get rid of the Yuwen Clan, and even the Dugu Clan.”

When Li Xiuning said this, he paused, smiled slightly, and said like a hundred flowers blooming, "Besides, I have been curious about the name of the painting saint for a long time, and I want to ask for a painting. It is said that this person governs Yangzhou in an orderly manner. And there is still a gap with Yu Wenhuaji, maybe we can recruit the Li family."

Li Shimin also laughed, and said: "If you can recruit Li Yizhi, it will be like nailing a nail in Yangzhou. At the critical moment, it will have a miraculous effect."

………………

Pay attention to the Dongming, not only the Yuwen and Song clans, but also the Dugu clan.

Compared with the other two, the Dugu Clan is much weaker. If they want to fight back, the Dongming Account Book is their only chance.

As long as the Li Clan and the Yuwen Clan are defeated, then naturally they will be respected by the Dugu Clan.

As for the Song Clan, they have always been independent from the Central Plains, so they don't have to think about it.

Therefore, when he received the news that the Dongming ship would dock in Yangzhou in half a month, Dugu Ce immediately found the Jukun Gang, and asked the leader of the Jukun Gang, Yun Yuzhen, to send out his men to steal the account books.

…………

Jiangdu Palace.

Li Yizhi found Yu Shiji, and after he was seated, a maid brought fragrant tea and snacks.

Yu Shiji said with a smile: "Prefect Li is a rare visitor, why do you have time to visit me today?"

Of course, Yu Shiji was very clear about what Li Yizhi did in Yangzhou, and in front of Yang Guang, he took all the credit for himself.

This made him look at Li Yizhi in a particularly pleasing way.

Originally, he just wanted to make trouble for Yu Wenhuaji, but unexpectedly, he discovered a talent.

Li Yizhi cupped his hands and said: "Master Yu also knows that I have been busy sorting out Jiangdu County during this period of time, and I have not come to an end until today, so I came to visit Minister Yu. Firstly, I want to thank Minister Yu for his support back then. Second, I want to discuss with Yu Shilang how to deal with Yu Wenhuaji."

Yu Shiji immediately became interested and said, "What good strategy does Prefect Li have?"

Li Yizhi didn't answer immediately, but said: "Maybe Minister Yu has also received the news about Du Fuwei's capture of Li Yang?"

"Well, I received it last night."

Yu Shiji nodded lightly, as if he just heard a very common thing.

Li Yizhi was speechless, with such treacherous ministers, there was no reason for the Sui Dynasty to subjugate the country, and I am afraid that Yu Shiji hadn't told Yang Guang about this news.

He calmed down and said: "Although Du Fuwei dare not go east and hit Jiangdu County. But the other party really has no brains. If he invades Jiangdu east, Yu Chisheng must send troops to defend."

Yu Shiji nodded, motioning for Li Yizhi to continue.

Whether Du Fuwei dares to go east is one thing, but if Yu Chisheng does nothing, then he, Yu Shiji, will read a book immediately, and promise that Yu Chisheng will not be able to eat and walk around.

Li Yizhi sneered, and said slowly: "Servant Yu, if Yu Chisheng was accidentally assassinated by Du Fuwei's men on the battlefield, what do you think will happen?"

Yu Shiji's eyes fixed on Li Yizhi.

After a long time, he laughed and said: "What else can I do? We can only blame Yu Chisheng for his own bad luck. But the battle is important, and we must send people to take over the army as soon as possible to prevent Du Fuwei's rebels from advancing eastward."

Li Yizhi took a deep breath, stated the purpose of this trip, and said, "I want to succeed Yuchi Sheng!"

Yu Shiji's smile subsided, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put it down, and said, "Prefect Li, it's not difficult for you to take over Jiangdu's army and become the general manager of Yangzhou, but what's the benefit to this old man?"

Although it is said that Li Yizhi was supported by him to weaken Yu Wenhua and his strength.

Logically speaking, the stronger Li Yizhi was, the better it would be for Yu Shiji.

But Yu Shiji has always been unprofitable, and now that Li Yizhi is begging him, he will naturally slaughter him, even if he is a 'dog'.
