Chapter 194

　Yanzhou, Governor's Mansion, the old Governor of Liaodong Province, Fei Lin, was sitting in his study. At this time, his second son, Fei Longjie, came to him with a group of people and introduced them to him: "Dad, I have a few friends who want to see you. Let me introduce them to you."

　　He pointed at the leader of the group, who was dressed in fancy clothes, had an evil look on his face, and always had an ambiguous smile on his face. Fei Longjie said, "Dad, this is the secret envoy from Japan, the third best master of the 'Thirty-Six Swords of Jianlu' (Sanada Yukigen is dead), and the new commander of the Wushen Camp, Lord Abe Hideaki."

　　A gleam of light flashed in Fei Lin's cloudy eyes. He took a sip of tea and asked leisurely, "Oh? Master Abe, nice to meet you. I wonder what brings you to an old man like me?"

　　Abe Hideaki still maintained his smile and said, "I have heard of Master Fei's name in Japan. I know that Master Fei is a man of great wisdom, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. This time I came here to seek cooperation with Master Fei and to give him great wealth."

　　"Oh? A great fortune? The old man is nearly 70 years old, and his body is almost buried in the ground. He should have been enjoying his grandchildren and living out his days in peace. What great fortune can he talk about?" Fei Lin said calmly.

　　"Hahaha, you can't say that. Mr. Fei is still strong and healthy. What's more, this great wealth can benefit future generations. Isn't Mr. Fei tempted?" Abe Hideaki looked at Fei Lin, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he continued, "The Jin emperor is dead, and Jin has lost its power. All capable people in the world are chasing it. Mr. Fei is very talented. If Mr. Fei can own this land, I believe it will be a blessing for the people of the Central Plains. I, Japan, will also fully support Mr. Fei."

　　Looking at his second son who was eager to try, Fei Lin sighed, shook his head, and asked, "There is no such good thing in the world. Tell me, what do you need?"

　　Seeing that Fei Lin was showing signs of relenting, Abe Hideaki said, "Don't worry, Mr. Fei. These conditions are just a piece of cake for you. We, Daying, only need you to agree to three things."

　　"What three things? Tell me."

　　"First, Mr. Fei can just stand aside and watch the war between our Great Ying and the Chao Kingdom," Abe Hideaki continued when he saw that Fei Lin did not object, "Second, it is marriage. I heard that Mr. Fei has a grandson who he has carefully trained. My emperor is willing to recruit him as the son-in-law of the prince of the palace, Mixiang, and marry him forever."

　　Fei Lin nodded: "And, what about the third one?"

　　"As for the third point, it is about the issue of the betrothal gift. The land of Songzhou and the head of Liu Jun, the governor of Songzhou, are the betrothal gifts that our emperor needs." Abe Hideaki smiled sinisterly.

　　"Well, I understand what your Excellency said. It seems that everyone in your country hates Songzhou Liu Ziye to the core, haha."

　　Abe Hideaki was not angry at Fei Lin's teasing, but smiled and said, "Liu Jun has disturbed my Great Ying again and again. Even though my emperor appreciates his talent, he can't stand it. And there is no need to worry about Liu Jun. My Great Ying has already sent experts to Songzhou, and I believe good news will be conveyed soon."

　　Fei Lin said, "Well, I understand. I already know about it, but this matter is of great importance. I need to consider it carefully. I wonder if Your Excellency can give me some time to think about it?"

　　Abe Hideaki said, "Of course, but please don't think about it too long, so as not to delay the important matter. Tomorrow, I will come to visit you again early tomorrow morning and wait for your good news." After he said that, he left the study with his men. However, after he walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he secretly ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on the Governor's Mansion. All people entering and leaving the Governor's Mansion must be closely monitored. This time, with the help of a group of Yanzhou nobles, he brought hundreds of "Martial God Camps". In addition, he also had the help of the private soldiers of the Yanzhou nobles. He was not afraid that Fei Lin would inform the public.

　　After Abe Hideaki left, Fei Lin did not say anything, but took another sip of tea and remained silent.

　　Fei Longjie, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask him, "Dad, why don't you agree to Lord Abe's request right away? The emperor has passed away, and the life and death of the King of Wei is uncertain. This is a good opportunity for the Fei family of Yanzhou to rise and even compete for the world. With the help of the Japanese, we only need Songzhou and Liu Jun to conquer the world."

　　Fei Lin did not answer him directly, but asked: "Tell me, besides you, who else did the Japanese find this time?"

　　"The Lu family, the Li family, and the four powerful families in Xinzhou have all agreed. Dad, the Liaodong aristocratic families are headed by you. As long as you give the nod, you will naturally take the position of the leader. If you hesitate any longer, the Lu family will be eyeing this position. What's more, if you don't agree, the Japanese will immediately attack Liaodong. By then, all the eggs in the nest will be destroyed." Fei Longjie persuaded earnestly.

　　Fei Lin raised his head and looked at his son, as if he could see through everything about him. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer, let me think about it again."

　　"Dad...ah..." Seeing that Fei Lin was not convinced by him, Fei Longjie had no choice but to leave the study in disappointment.

　　"Alas," Fei Lin shook his head and sighed after seeing his second son leave, and suddenly said, "Did you hear everything?"

　　As soon as Fei Lin finished speaking, a beautiful figure fell from the roof. She was tall and slender, with full breasts. She was Fei Lin's eldest daughter-in-law, Fei Qingyu's mother, the Demon Cult Princess Gu Yanan. She said worriedly: "Second uncle is already possessed by the devil. The Japanese are ambitious and will not be satisfied easily. After they have digested the territory of Chaoguo, the next target will be the Central Plains. At that time, Liaodong will bear the brunt and be ravaged under their iron hoofs."

　　Fei Lin nodded and snorted, "Humph, I knew it. Ever since the news of the emperor's death came, and then you said that Japanese people had sneaked into Yanzhou, I expected this day to come. I just didn't expect so many noble families to respond. Haha, is this world so easy to get? But they missed one thing. Except for me, no one knows your identity and martial arts. Go and prepare. With your martial arts, those spies outside will not be a problem for you. Go to Songzhou, find Yu'er, find Liu Jun, and tell them everything."

　　Gu Yanan's face suddenly changed: "Dad, you... Yanan will take you..."

　　"No," Fei Lin shook his head, "There are spies outside. You and an old man like me cannot escape their surveillance. I can still pretend to be nice to them. They dare not do anything to me. Go, your good son-in-law, he can turn the tide."

　　Gu Yanan was not a person who would drag his feet. Seeing that Fei Lin had made up his mind, he did not hesitate any longer and returned to his room... At night, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, many spies did not notice that a slender figure left from somewhere in the Governor's Mansion and disappeared into the darkness.

　　Pang Jun received news that the nobles in Liaodong were ready to make a move. Not knowing what they were planning, he was cautious and entered Yanzhou City after disguising himself. As soon as he entered the city, he felt the unusual atmosphere, so he did not delay. After pretending to walk around the city for a few times, he came to the stronghold of "Suifeng" in Yanzhou City.

　　He had just revealed his identity when the person in charge said to him, "My Lord, last night, a woman came to inquire about your situation and wanted to contact you."

　　Pang Jun's heart trembled. In Yanzhou, the only people who knew that this place was the contact point of "Suifeng" were people from the Governor's Office, besides people from "Suifeng" himself. So he asked, "Where is that person now?"

　　"He's still in the backyard. I heard he's getting ready to leave for Songzhou," the person in charge replied.

　　After hearing this, Pang Jun hurriedly followed the person in charge to the backyard. As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw a middle-aged woman leaving the room. Although she was disguised, he could still vaguely recognize that this person was Gu Yanan. Gu Yanan was also surprised to see Pang Jun.

　　In the room, Pang Jun listened carefully to Gu Yanan's explanation of the whole story, then he pondered for a long time and said, "Mr. Fei wants you to inform me to go back to Songzhou first, take care of the things in Songzhou, and then come back to save him?"

　　Gu Yanan said coldly: "Although I don't know why my father-in-law trusts your ability so much, a lustful and shameless man, but in the more than 20 years since I married into the Fei family, I have hardly seen him make a wrong judgment." She has complicated emotions towards this man who is not only the man her daughter has chosen but also the man who destroyed her own chastity. Every time she sees him, she doesn't know how to treat him and can only face him with a pretended indifference.

　　Pang Jun was thinking seriously, not paying attention to Gu Yanan's complicated emotions, but asked: "Excuse me, besides Abe Hideaki, according to your observation, among the people who followed, are there any other Japanese masters that we need to pay attention to?"

　　Gu Yanan thought for a moment and replied, "Besides the weird man Abe Hideaki, I also feel that the other two people in that group should also have good martial arts skills. One of them looks like a monk with a scar on his head, but he is unusually tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face. The other one is wrapped up tightly, and if you don't look closely, it seems that he has melted into the room. He looks like a ninja from Japan."

　　After hearing Gu Yanan's description, Pang Jun immediately judged and said, "From what you said, the first of these two people is the 'Breaking Mingwang' Fudo Anci, who ranks eighth among the '36 Swords of Jianlu', and the second one is probably the 'Ninja Hero' Fuma Saizo, who ranks tenth. I have learned about the '36 Swords of Jianlu' in Japan, and they meet the characteristics you mentioned. In a one-on-one battle, except for Abe Hideaki, the other two are not our opponents. But if the three of them are combined, plus dozens of warriors from the Wushen Camp, and there are rebellious nobles hiding in the corners, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to rescue Mr. Fei."

　　"So what you mean is that you don't care about my father-in-law's life or death?" Gu Yanan's face changed slightly, and she questioned Pang Jun, "My father-in-law trusted you so much and entrusted you with such an important matter!"

　　"Please calm down," Pang Jun shook his head and said, "Of course not. For both public and private reasons, I cannot ignore Mr. Fei, but Mr. Fei's choice is the best choice. Let's deal with the problem in Songzhou first, and then come back to rescue him. Because once Songzhou defeats the Japanese, there will be spare energy to deal with the affairs of Yanzhou. At that time, those rioters will ignore the internal precautions due to external pressure. As long as they relax internally, there will be a chance to rescue Mr. Fei."

　　"Then when do you plan to leave for Songzhou?" Gu Yanan had calmed down at this time. She also knew that this was the best way. Her words at this time also tacitly agreed with Pang Jun's plan.

　　"We must set off immediately without delay. Abe Hideaki said that he has prepared a trap and martial arts masters are here to deal with me. But it is not easy to set up a plan in Songzhou. There is still the evil Dugu Lianhuan in Songzhou. It is not easy for the Japanese to set up a good plan. Unless Dugu Lianhuan also surrenders to the Japanese, I will be powerless to save the situation and can only accept my fate. I will go back as soon as possible to catch the Japanese off guard and seize the initiative."

　　"Okay," Gu Yanan nodded, "I'll go with you. Songzhou will soon become a battlefield, and Yu'er can't stay there. I'm going to take Yu'er away from Songzhou." After the two of them agreed, they disguised themselves again and set off for Songzhou.
