Wu Tian accompanied Zhu Yuyan as they strolled along the bustling streets of Yangzhou. Wu Tian looked at the hawkers around him. With the noise, he seemed to feel the increasingly prosperous business in Yangzhou City. A smug smile appeared in his heart. After all, he had contributed greatly to the liveliness and crowding of Yangzhou. If it were not for his salt pans and docks, it would have been difficult for Yangzhou to develop so quickly.
" Yangzhou will become the most important port in the country," Wu Tian thought smugly." Once the Qinhuai River is opened, it will become a gold mine." The Qinhuai River will be a famous place in the future, but it will also be the dirtiest place. There will be too many prostitutes there that will leave their names in history. I can't even count them.”
She thought," The most famous ones are the Eight Beauties of Qin Huai during the late Ming Dynasty. Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, Liu Rushi, Li Xiangjun, and other women. Unfortunately, none of these women had a good ending. This is the case with beautiful women and unfortunate fates. This fact will never be changed. Who taught them to be talented, skilled, and beautiful? It would be strange if men didn't snatch them away." It was a pity that these women had all become sacrifices in the end. Some sacrificed their lives for justice and were unwilling to be slaves of a subjugated country. Some were notorious and lived an ignoble life. Some were loyal for love.”
Actually, no one knew that Zhang Lihua was also born in Qinhuai River. In history, Zhang Lihua was the victim of the sound of her country's demise. There was not much research on where she was born. Wu Tian led Zhu Yuyan through the noisy market and took another turn before arriving at Boss Yan's territory. This road was the only way to the pier. Wu Tian came here because he was worried that Boss Yan would escape after hearing the news.
Boss Yan wasn't as ignorant as Feng Qiang and his wife. Of course, he knew the Wu family's strength and wouldn't fight to the death. Just as he had expected, he saw a guy carrying a package and rushing out of a secluded alley.
Zhu Yuyan looked enlightened. This bastard didn't believe that Lil Guizi could handle it. Besides, Boss Yan was the Wu family's first purge and deterrence of the local underworld. Wu Tian smiled and said,"What an idiot. If I wanted to kill him, how could I not consider everything? Sigh, Xiao Guizi had been in the Black Flag Army for too long. She didn't know that although Boss Yan was a local underworld force, he was very cunning.”
He thought to himself,'If I wasn't in Yangzhou, this guy would have lived for another fifteen or sixteen years. He only died when Yuwen Huaji came to Yangzhou to find the Art of Longevity. For such a person to die early and be reincarnated for me, he would be honored.'”
Boss Yan had thought that some young master and young lady were having a rendezvous here, but when he got closer, he realized that it was dangerous. He saw Wu Tian looking at him with his arms crossed. Boss Yan said,""Move aside, or don't blame me for being impolite.”
Wu Tian said," How can you be so impolite? Besides, I'm here for you. Little Guizi doesn't know that your house has a tunnel that can be used to escape, but I know that you must have one, and it's very secretive. Otherwise, Little Guizi wouldn't have not killed you until now."”
"You're Wu Tian?" Boss Yan asked in horror.”
Wu Tian smiled." You're right. I'm Wu Tian, and I'm here especially for you. It's very quiet here. I'll send you on your way."”
Boss Yan controlled his panic and said in a low voice,""Young Master Wu, this Yan has never offended you, and this Yan has never offended the Wu family in Yangzhou. I wonder how this Yan has offended you.”
Wu Tian said," Actually, you wouldn't have died. Who asked you to know Feng Qiang? Moreover, Feng Qiang said in front of everyone that he wanted you to destroy my Wu family. Although I know you died unjustly, the Wu family needs your head as a blood sacrifice. Only by killing you can the lower class of Yangzhou people know that the Wu family is an aristocratic family on the surface of Yangzhou. It's enough to have the Wu family's voice in Yangzhou.”
"Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!" When Boss Yan suddenly learned about the whole story, he cursed Feng Qiang and his wife's ancestors in his heart. He wished he could cut them into pieces."You're good, Feng Qiang. It's fine if you're courting death, but don't drag me down with you. No wonder I was puzzled. How did I offend the Wu family, this terrifying family? I see."
With a thud, Boss Yan knelt on the ground in fear and cried,""Young Master Wu, please spare my life. I didn't know that those two bastard couple had offended you. If you believe me, I will go and kill the entire Feng family.”
"Indeed, I have wronged you a little. However, since you have been wronged, then so be it. I can only say that you are unlucky. If I kill you, I don't think anyone will dare to make a fuss about the Wu family anymore. Hehe, if the Wu family doesn't show their might, do they think that the Wu family is easy to bully?”
Suddenly, Boss Yan felt that Wu Tian's vigilance had relaxed. He suddenly jumped up and the iron chain in his arms flew out, hitting Wu Tian's heart. He cursed,""Go to hell."
Wu Tian looked at Boss Yan coldly. His fingers had already caught the flying knife on the iron chain. He said scornfully,"This Young Master has already played this trick of yours when I was five years old and even tricked Fan Qinghui. Damn it, you are really lucky to be alive until now.”
With that, Wu Tian moved his fingers and threw the knife back into Boss Yan's throat. Boss Yan's eyes were wide open. The joy on his face had yet to fade, but it had already frozen on his face. He was already dead.
Zhu Yuyan laughed,"It's bad luck for eight lifetimes to offend you." If he was a young master from an aristocratic family, he might be able to get away with it. However, he was underestimating you by playing such underhanded tricks in front of you. If he was from another city, it would be understandable for him to play such tricks. However, he was from Yangzhou. He actually didn't know that you had played with Fan Qinghui when you were five years old. You could say that a rookie had met a scammer.”
Wu Tian said disdainfully," Boss Yan doesn't know much about the Wu family. Fan Qinghui's method of sealing off information is really brilliant. I wonder how many people who knew about it have been silenced by her." Even Boss Yan only knew that the Wu family was not to be trifled with, but he didn't know my personality. If he knew, he wouldn't have escaped so rashly. Instead, he would have hidden in the tunnel and waited for the Black Flag Army to retreat. Then, he would disguise himself as a beggar and escape Yangzhou City.”
Zhu Yuyan said," He's really an idiot. He can't be compared to you. No wonder you were able to escape from Fan Qinghui and go to the War God Hall safely."”
After a while, Lil Guizi walked out dejectedly. He saw Wu Tian in the alley, like a child who had made a mistake, at a loss. Although he was a man of his word in the Black Flag Army, he was a child who had made a mistake in front of Wu Tian. His mind had not fully matured.
" Young Master, I didn't catch Boss Yan. I…" Xiao Guizi stuttered.
"Alright, I knew you wouldn't be able to catch this kind of hooligan who lives on the edge of the blade all day long. That's why I personally took action.”As they spoke, the two of them stepped aside. Suddenly, they saw the corpses behind Wu Tian and Zhu Yuyan. Wu Tian said,""Hang Boss Yan's corpse on the pier.”
When Xiao Guizi saw that Boss Yan had been executed, he said angrily,""Boss Yan, you don't have any guts at all. You ran away when you saw us. We almost became famous in the Black Flag Army.”
Wu Tian shouted," Alright, he's already dead. What's the point of beating him up? This isn't your fault. After all, you've always been in the army. Soldiers have always been focused on fighting head-on. It's indeed not suitable for you to do this kind of work. Besides, Boss Yan is a smart person. When he saw the Black Flag Army move out, he knew that something was wrong. So, he hid. It's normal that he didn't notice him.”
However, Wu Tian planned to train the Black Flag Army for a period of time. Up until now, they had not found the tunnel. It could be seen that the tunnel was very hidden. It would be very difficult to find it in a short period of time. He did not impart this knowledge.
After Lil Guizi left, Wu Tian sighed and said fiercely,""If it wasn't for Fan Qinghui and me fighting to the death, I wouldn't have missed ten years of training for them. Great Sui was about to fall into chaos. Yang Guang was already preparing to ascend the throne with great ambition. Yang Jian, this old man, was also about to die. He would die within two years.”
Wu Tian really wanted the Black Flag Army to participate in Yang Guang's war against Liao. Only by going through the baptism of war in the north could the Black Flag Army become a true elite, a sharp knife in his hand. They could not be defeated and could win every battle.
"How do you know that Yang Guang will launch the Liao War after he ascends the throne?" Zhu Yuyan asked curiously.”
Wu Tian smiled." The north has been constantly disturbed by the Turks and Koreans. Even the Liao people are secretly killing the people at our border, looting materials and Han women. Although Yang Jian had dealt a heavy blow to the Turks and subdued them, he had not truly injured the Turks. Their vitality had not been damaged, so peace only lasted for about ten years. Once the Turks were fully prepared, coupled with the fact that the Koreans had long planned to devour the entire Liaodong region and expand their narrow territory, the Koreans had already made preparations in their own country. However, the court had always felt that the Koreans were scabies and could not hurt the court's vitality. They had planned it out. If Yang Guang ascended the throne and wanted to attack the Koreans, he would probably suffer a huge loss.”
"You want to get involved?" Zhu Yuyan asked in shock.”
Wu Tian said," Yes, so in these seven years, I want to build Yangzhou into a strong fortress of the Wu family and attract Yang Guang's attention. Then, I can follow the army to go out. If I want to fight for hegemony, I have to train strong soldiers. However, training will never produce true elites. Only by baptizing their hearts with the blood of the Turks or Koreans in the north can they truly become a terrifying army and be invincible in troubled times.”
