Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

The sun was shining and the sky was just right. On a lake dozens of miles away from Yangzhou City, a flower boat was sailing towards Yangzhou City.

Standing by the side of the boat, Jiang Yan was keenly aware of the movement around him. There were people hiding in the water on the bank and people in trees. Those people were extremely skilled in martial arts. They were all dressed in black and masked their faces. It is very conspicuous in the daytime, but with tight sleeves and narrow mouth, it is most suitable for martial arts.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Yin Yu came to Jiang Yan's side and asked with frowning frowns.

"It's okay, you stay in the boat safely, don't come out with your mother, I'll go and let the boatman go faster." Jiang Yan said and went on the deck.

Seeing Jiang Yan's serious expression, Yin Yu knew that something might have happened, so she hurried back to the room and stayed with her mother, but she didn't tell her mother the guess in her heart, worrying that she would be afraid.

Jiang Yan got on the deck, and vaguely saw the people on the shore start to move, and started to attack the ship far away from their ship.

There were more than a dozen boats on the river, and they fled one after another. For a while, they couldn't leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

Seeing that someone fell into the water on the boat in the distance, and the blood stained the large area of ​​the river, there was a sound of panic and screaming in my ears, and gradually it was not only the boat. In the case of ship collision, people fell into the water one after another.

Seeing their boat stalled, Jiang Yan knew that this encounter was inevitable, so he drew out his long sword and jumped towards the distant boat. Because the distance was a bit far, he tapped the river surface a few times with his middle foot, and successfully reached the opposite deck superior.

There were originally a dozen people on board, but no matter whether it was the other party's ambush or the people who came again, there were dozens of them, more than several times.

Jiang Yan swung his sword almost one at a time, wiping the neck or stabbing the gate of life. In short, no one he encountered survived. Within a quarter of an hour, all the masked men on board fell down.

"You really are a general. Mr. Yin has extraordinary abilities, and Yang admires him." A slightly weak voice came over.

Jiang Yan saw a 30-year-old man with a handsome face but a sullen and pale face walking slowly. Judging from his steps, he suffered internal injuries and made his steps sloppy.

"Nine thousand years old is amazing, I just want to solve the trouble quickly so that I can go on the road with my family quickly." Jiang Yan put the long sword in the scabbard, "Now that the thief has been solved, I will not accompany nine thousand years old Talk more."

Jiang Yan said as he did when he came, and returned to his boat.

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Jiang Yan's agile skills, "If such a person can be used by me..."

"I'm afraid my lord will be disappointed. That stubborn old man of the Yin family is the most loyal and patriotic. His subordinates sent people there many times, but he kicked them out. I think his son is also a stubborn person." Shi Shun said.

Yang Ming nodded, glanced at the corpses of the boat, and said as he entered the cabin: "Cut off the ears of these people and store them in ice cubes. After finishing the business in Yangzhou, return to the capital, so I can send them to the man." .”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Jiang Yan left early, didn't know that Yang Ming gave such an order, if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised at all, Yang Ming entered the palace since he was a child, and at the age of 30 he became the head of a eunuch under one person and above ten thousand, and was bestowed by the emperor. No. 'Nine Thousand Years', how could it be a fuel-efficient lamp.

And the reason why he came to this world was also related to Yang Ming.

His current name is Yin Yan, his younger sister is Yin Yu, and his father, Yin Lu, is a first-rank general of the Hui Dynasty. Yin Yu grew up in the capital and was a treasure held in the hands of his parents. When the sixty-year-old emperor saw her portrait, he was astonished that he was a heavenly man, so he even made her a queen and took her into the palace.

And less than a month after she entered the palace, the old emperor passed away. She became the empress dowager, the only son of the old emperor. , but in fact, Yang Ming has always been in power.

Even when she entered the palace, it was Yang Ming who brought her portrait in front of the old emperor. The reason was that Yin Yu was kind to Yang Ming, who was in trouble at home and sold as a slave when she was a child.

Now Yang Ming wants to avenge the emperor who ordered to kill his whole family. He will definitely overthrow the government and the people, but the Yin family has always been loyal to the emperor, and Yin Lu is a general. The Yin family is sorry for Yin Yu's kindness to him.

So he used this method to let Yin Yu be the queen mother. The little emperor needs a legitimate queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain. In addition, letting Yin Yu marry the emperor who is older than her father is also a blow to the Yin family. Let Yin Lu see clearly that the emperor he swears allegiance to the death is only mediocre.

Yang Ming succeeded. Because Yin Lu couldn't resist the decree, he watched his only daughter enter the palace with his own eyes. When Yang Ming rebelled, he didn't stop him. Compared with his daughter being the queen of an aging emperor, he might as well be the empress dowager. At least she doesn't have to face a man older than her father.

Yang Ming succeeded, but Yin Yu died of depression after becoming the empress dowager. Originally, she wanted to cooperate with Yang Ming to be the empress dowager after the death of the old emperor, but she gradually discovered that what Yang Ming wanted was not power at all. What is more is the destruction of the country.

Medication to a little emperor who was only four years old broke his brain. As long as he can never grow up like a normal person, he can stay in power until he is more capable and become the emperor himself.

Yin Yu died of depression before Yang Ming became emperor herself. Yin Yu didn't know if Yang Ming succeeded. She only hoped that her parents would not be sad because of her death.

In fact, the only daughter died, how can the parents not feel sad, and not long after her death, Yin Lu and his wife also passed away one after another.

When Jiang Yan came to this world, Yin Yu had a kindness to Yang Ming. If he had come earlier, he would definitely not let them have any contact.

The same happened this time. Yin Yu and his mother went to Yangzhou to worship their ancestors at their ancestral home. On the way, they met Yang Ming who was being chased and killed, and once again had the grace of saving his life.

Jiang Yan used to think that in his memory, Yin Yu and his mother would meet Yang Ming only when they walked by land. This time he escorted his mother and sister back to worship their ancestors by water, but he did not expect them to meet him.

Only then did the incident just happen. Back in the cabin, Yin Yu and Mrs. Yin were a little scared when they saw the blood on his robe. Jiang Yan only said that it was someone else's blood, and they didn't wait until they were sure that Jiang Yan was not injured. rest assured.

"I'm going to change my clothes, little girl, please help me clean the sword again, I think the boat will leave soon."

Yin Yu took Jiang Yan's sword and nodded, because her family is a military general, she has been obsessed with martial arts since she was a child, but her daughter's family is not allowed to practice martial arts, so her favorite thing to do is to wipe the swords and armor of her father and brother.

She is not afraid of the blood on it, knowing that the blood on it is the record of her father and brother defending the country, and it is not the blood of her father and brother, so she will not be afraid.

After that, the boat went smoothly all the way, and arrived in Yangzhou unimpeded. Mrs. Yin's maiden name was Wan, and there were already people waiting for them when they arrived at the pier.

In half a month, it will be the fifth anniversary of Mrs. Yin's father's death, so I came back to worship.

"Auntie, cousins, father is waiting at home, you can follow me into the car." Mrs. Yin's nephew Wan Yue said with a smile.

Mrs. Yin and Yin Yu got into the carriage, while Jiang Yan and Wan Yue rode horses outside. They had always been on a boat all along the way, and they only watched the scenery along the way. Looking at it now, the styles of Yangzhou and Beijing are still very different.

"Cousin, when I was at the pier just now, I heard that someone killed someone on the lake yesterday. Are you all right? Have you been frightened?" Wan Yue asked worriedly, thinking about what the other people on the boat had just said.

"I'm fine. It doesn't matter if my mother and little sister are frightened."

Hearing this, Wan Yue was relieved, and said with a smile: "Of course my cousin won't be afraid. I heard about the fact that my cousin took the head of a general out of ten thousand troops last year in the battle against the Huns. It's a pity. I am a scholar, if I ride a horse faster, I will worry about falling off, and I have no chance to defend my family and country like my cousin."

"There are specializations in the art field. It's the same if you take part in the imperial examination. Don't worry if you're still young."

Wan Yue smiled and said that he had already arrived at Wan Mansion. Wan's family was a merchant. Mrs. Yin's marriage to Yin Lu, who was still a soldier, was considered a second marriage. I never thought that after more than 20 years, Yin Lu had become a first-rank general by virtue of his military achievements.

The phrase '30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi' is truly fulfilled.

When they arrived at the Wan's family, Jiang Yan and his party met his grandmother, Shen, and some people from the Wan's family, and they were arranged to rest in a courtyard.

Jiang Yan has been in this world for ten years. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so the journey is naturally not exhausting, so he asked Wan Yue to go out together, under the pretense that he wanted to see the scenery of Yangzhou City.

Wan Yue was also very interested. After he came out, he introduced various Yangzhou characteristics to him, and he would return at night.

During Jiang Yan's trip, he not only ate Yangzhou snacks, bought some gadgets for Yin Yu, but also walked the streets and alleys. He figured out where the man who was going to assassinate Yang Ming yesterday was.

They firmly believed in the principle of 'the great hermit hides in the city', Jiang Yan went out this trip, and it was not difficult to find out if he looked carefully.

"Cousin, your martial arts practitioners are really strong. I haven't walked such a long distance for a long time. I'm afraid it will take several days to rest. Tomorrow, you want to go out and ask Wanqi to accompany you. That kid likes to go out. walk around."

Wan Qi is Wan Yue's younger brother, Wan Yue is the eldest son, because the Wan family's uncle sees that the family is full of businessmen, so he wants to raise a scholar. .

Therefore, the education of the two sons is "everything is inferior, but reading is high", which has caused Wan Yue to look less healthy now, Wan Qi is different. very.

Seeing how weak he was, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I just went out today to see something new, and I won't go out tomorrow. You are so weak, but it's okay. Why don't I teach you some boxing skills tomorrow, so that you can also strengthen your body?" ?”

"No need for cousin, my hands and feet are soft and I'm not suitable for martial arts. I just need to be strong enough to pick up a pen. I really don't need to bother my cousin." The more you are discouraged at first.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yan no longer insisted on teaching him. Everyone has his own aspirations, and he didn't have to force him.

In the next period of time, if Jiang Yan wanted to go out, he would go out by himself. Yang Ming came to Yangzhou with great fanfare, and he was ordered by the emperor to build the Martyr's Shrine. Ming said so.

It's just that Yang Ming received tens of thousands of taels of real gold and silver in his pocket because of this martyr's shrine.

There was a speech made by officials, and Yang Ming guarded himself and stole it. In the end, Yang Ming used it in reverse, saying that the old emperor was unpopular, and the Martyr's Temple was unwilling to accept his offerings. He poisoned the old emperor in the Qinzheng Hall, and killed Yan He only said that the emperor, who was an official, vomited blood and died. He killed the official for the sake of the Qing emperor.

However, Jiang Yan now suspects that the old emperor's insomnia and dreaminess also have an inseparable relationship with Yang Ming. He has been an eunuch for more than ten years, and it is only five or six years to become nine thousand years old. If you want to accumulate a lot of money, of course you have to start with these extra items.

Jiang Yan had also gone out during these days and nights, and saw assassins assassinate Yang Ming, but they were all blocked by Yang Ming, and they never came back.

I don't know if they received the order to retreat, or if the assassins who came to Yangzhou are all dead, but this is good news for Jiang Yan.

In fact, in my memory, Yin Yu rescued Yang Ming too many times, not only outside the palace, but after entering the palace, as a queen, she was the only one who had seen the old emperor after his death.

At that time, Yang Ming had not subdued the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and half of them still suspected him of killing the king, and killed the only official who was present. In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he said that the emperor's death was no different, and he aggressively prevented anyone from seeing the old emperor's appearance, which saved Yang Ming a lot of trouble.

All these changed Yang Ming's feelings towards Yin Yu. Yin Yu didn't know if Yang Ming succeeded after she died, but Jiang Yan knew that he didn't succeed because he stopped resisting. He took poison and committed suicide in Fengyi Palace where Yin Yu lived.

Whether it is the thorns on the lake or the thorns in Yangzhou City, they are all from the Five Princes. The current emperor has only one prince, and has no other heirs. As a member of the royal family, how could he have no illusions about the throne.

In the eyes of the fifth prince, as long as he dealt with the nine thousand year old Yang Ming who was in charge of the government, and survived until the old emperor passed away, he would be the justifiable regent.
