...Too careless!
The muscles at the corners of Ning Yi's eyes twitched. He looked back at the people from the Ba Dao Camp who had different expressions at the door, and sighed quietly in his heart.
These three reckless men, relying on their superior martial arts skills, acted even more recklessly than he expected.
Although it was indeed satisfying to act recklessly like this, the good relationship he had cultivated with the Ba Dao Camp with great difficulty might be destroyed!
And we will die on the same day of the same month of the same year... Such an oath might sound like a noble oath to the people in Ba Daoying, but to Ning Yi, it was a naked threat.
That is why, after he regained his mobility, he remained silent and waited to see what would happen.
Just like that, the four of them left through the main gate in broad daylight in full view of everyone.
Glancing at the unfriendly looks from the elite soldiers of Tyrant Blade Camp on both sides, Ning Yi sighed and whispered, "My three brothers, you are happy, but I will not have an easy life now!"
Ye Zixun put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? With the three of us here, aren't we better than a million soldiers?"
Ning Yi pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Third brother is so heroic, I am ashamed to be inferior to him..."
Zuo Yu smiled and said, "Don't panic, my dear brother. We are not completely reckless. If I hadn't been sure that Liu Xigua would not escalate the conflict, I wouldn't have acted so decisively."
"oh?"
Ning Yi showed an interested expression on his face.
Li Yun explained calmly, "This time, the Badao Camp had a conflict with Bao Daoyi because of Chen Fan. Although Li Tianrun stopped them, Bao Daoyi would definitely not swallow this anger. This morning, my second brother and I went to the streets to investigate and found that there were more than a thousand strangers who did not look like good citizens on the edge of the Badao Camp..."
Ning Yi nodded and said, "It should be Bao Daoyi's people."
Ye Zixun said with a smile: "Bao Daoyi has set his sights on the Tyrant Blade Battalion. Even if the Tyrant Blade Battalion is slow, it will not turn a blind eye to such a large-scale manpower transfer. With external threats ahead, how dare Liu Xigua really turn against us brothers?"
Ning Yi said helplessly: "She just wanted to scare you, she didn't intend to make enemies with you."
Who would have known that these three reckless men would not tolerate any loss and would so brazenly attack because of a few meaningless warnings.
This illogical development was unprepared for Liu Xigua, who had only read a few days of books. Even he was caught off guard.
Zuo Yu smiled and said, "Things in this world are unpredictable, and people in this world are all strange and bizarre. You were just traveling south with your wife, and you encountered the Fang La uprising. You can handle things like this calmly, so what's so strange about meeting the three of us brothers again?"
"… Second brother is absolutely right."
Ning Yi nodded and said thoughtfully: "However, the three brothers do have the intention of jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements."
Ye Zixun laughed: "Why, are you jealous, brother?"
Ning Yi sighed: "Yes, a little bit."
Ye Zixun asked excitedly, "After this incident, do you want to travel around the world with us brothers?"
Ning Yi thought about it seriously for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. I have a lovely wife at home, and will soon have a son. I really can't be as carefree as my three brothers."
"Okay, stop teasing him."
Zuo Yu pulled Ye Zixun away with a smile and asked, "No matter what, you are the military advisor of the Tyrant Blade Camp. Bao Daoyi is targeting you like this, and it is obvious that he is irreconcilable with the Tyrant Blade Camp... What are you going to do?"
"Of course we will proceed according to the plan." Ning Yi paused, glanced at the knife-wielding men with unfriendly eyes around him and said, "The premise is that they are still willing to listen to my command..."
…
…
Facts have proved that, putting aside some resentment from his subordinates, Liu Xigua's trust in Ning Yi remains the same as before.
Whether it was the elite members of the Tyrant Blade Camp who disliked Zuo Yu and his two companions, or Du Sha, the "Sky Blade" who was wrapped in bandages, they all believed that Ning Yi had the talent in this area and were willing to follow his command.
For Ning Yi, letting the Ba Dao Camp fight against Bao Daoyi is also in line with his current interests.
After all, in addition to his identity as the military advisor of the Tyrant Blade Camp, he has another identity that few people know about - the commander of the Secret Investigation Department.
This identity was given to him by Qin Siyuan, the right prime minister of the current dynasty. Before being reinstated by the emperor, Qin Siyuan lived in seclusion in Jiangning City. During that time, he met Ning Yi while playing chess at a stall by the Qinhuai River.
He admired Ning Yi's hidden talent very much and thought that he was a hidden talent. Therefore, he tried to test Ning Yi several times, wanting to help Ning Yi get rid of his status as a son-in-law in his own name and then become an official.
But every time it was proposed, Ning Yi rejected it without hesitation.
Qin Siyuan felt very sorry, so he settled for the next best option and asked Ning Yi to be his aide in the prime minister's office.
After a few visits, the two became close friends regardless of age difference.
Ning Yi put up a lot of resistance in Hangzhou this time, but was eventually captured and taken back to Hangzhou. After Qin Siyuan heard about it, he sent people from the Secret Investigation Department to Ning Yi's account to take orders. In addition to rescuing this young friend, he also wanted to see if he could use Ning Yi's ability to turn Hangzhou upside down.
Ning Yi was also very cooperative. In addition to planning for the Ba Dao Camp sincerely, he also had the intention of intensifying internal conflicts.
Now, Chen Fan and Bao Daoyi are fighting in Pingchang Street, with the strong support of the Badao Camp, and the two sides are at loggerheads.
But Hangzhou was occupied by the rebels after all, and the rebels were not like the imperial court. Here, human feelings were more important than legal principles.
If one wants to completely resolve the issue of Bao Daoyi, it will disrupt the internal balance, and many high-ranking members of the rebel army will come forward to dissuade them. If the conflict becomes too intense, even the Archbishop himself may come forward to mediate.
In order to solve this possible problem, Ning Yi made preparations in two aspects.
First, everyone must know that the situation between the Badao Camp and Bao Daoyi is already a life-and-death struggle and there is absolutely no reconciliation. Only in this way can the high-ranking rebels who have been promoted from gangsters to officials accept this matter.
Second, after killing Bao Daoyi, there must be no chaos in the city. Someone must take over his business, someone must supplement his power, and someone must appease his subordinates.
Only when these two points are met can we truly take action against Bao Daoyi himself.
In response to this, Ning Yi issued many orders, such as asking the people from the Badao Camp to go to Bao Daoyi's territory from time to time to cause trouble, and then lure Bao Daoyi's people to come to the Badao Camp to cause trouble, in order to arouse the anger of the people below.
The next step is to investigate the situation of Bao Daoyi's subordinates, to see how many of them can be divided or won over, and then investigate the various businesses he is in charge of and the various powers he holds, and consider how to arrange people to take over...
In addition, Ning Yi also mobilized his students in the academy.
Their families were all middle-level or even high-level officials in Fang La’s army. Some were close to the Badao Camp, while others were relatively distant.
Ning Yi classified this, wrote a letter, and contacted someone. The general meaning was that your child had a conflict with Bao Daoyi, and we don't want you to do too much. We just hope that one day the two sides will turn against each other, and you can stand on our side and take over Bao Daoyi's territory in a certain aspect...
Various small things, one after another, accumulated layer by layer, the quantitative change will cause terrible qualitative change.
Zuo Yu and the other two had been following Ning Yi these past few days, and had watched with their own eyes as he quietly and quietly spun a web in Hangzhou city that was large enough to cover Bao Daoyi's entire forces, just like a spider spinning silk.
Such means are indeed worthy of the name of "Inner Demon" that Ning Yi earned in the martial arts world later.
Ye Zixun said in amazement: "If it were you, my dear brother, you shouldn't have chosen the name 'Blood Hand Man-Slayer'. Instead, 'Octopus Spider' should be quite suitable for you!"
Hearing Ye Zixun's words, Du Sha, who was wrapped in bandages, nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Ning Yi glanced at him and suddenly laughed, "Third brother, you want me to castrate myself and become a fat eunuch!"
Ye Zixun laughed loudly, but halfway through his laughter, he suddenly realized what was happening and asked with blinking eyes, "What fat eunuch? Brother, what are you talking about? And when did I ask you to castrate yourself?"
...still pretending!
Ning Yi curled his lips and didn't reply.
As far as he knew, the title Octopus came from Varys, a eunuch who cared about the people in the American TV series Game of Thrones. Ye Zixun's reaction clearly showed that he knew this character.
...I wonder how long you can keep pretending!
While thinking this, Ning Yi handed the documents in his hand to Du Sha.
Du Sha reached out to take it, then handed it to the younger brother next to him, while he looked at Ye Zixun steadily.
"Hong Tianlei, where is your eldest brother? Why didn't I see him today?"
"..." Ye Zixun twitched his lips and said helplessly, "Old Du, we are all from the same world, and we can say that we didn't know each other until we fought. Didn't my eldest brother defeat you with one move? Why do you have to hold a grudge and make yourself miserable every day?"
Du Sha said seriously, "In the Chinese martial arts world, experts are common, but grandmasters are hard to find."
"I am not very talented, but I am ambitious in martial arts. I am able to learn from a master like the Liaoyuan Spear and not be killed. This is a precious experience that any martial artist would not miss, right?"
Ye Zixun looked around and said with a smile, "Then why are you the only one here right now?"
Du Sha smiled and straightened his bandaged chest: "The commander ordered that the Tyrant Blade Camp must not conflict with the three masters, but Du was defeated by Master Li before. This is a personal grudge and is not subject to restriction!"
“What a hassle…”
Ye Zixun sighed, took out the silver gloves and put them on: "Come on, come on, big brother is not here, I will take over for him."
Seeing Ye Zixun's behavior, Du Sha quickly hid behind Ning Yi: "I will go find Grandmaster Li and not fight with you. Your move is too cunning. I will be unable to move for at least ten days or half a month if I fall into your hands. I still have to work for the military advisor and cannot fall down..."
Ye Zixun stopped putting on his gloves and looked at him in surprise.
"You're pretty smart."
Ye Zixun's evaluation only lasted until noon.
Because in the afternoon, Du Sha came to the door with a long knife in hand and gritted teeth, threatening to challenge Ye Zixun.
Although Ye Zixun was a little surprised, he still attacked enthusiastically and beat the guy who suddenly became tough until his nose and face were swollen, his muscles and bones were limp, and he lay on the bed for a long time unable to move.
