Kyoto, Right Minister's Office.

Comparative martial arts field.

Li Ziye hit the back of the mountain with a shock, knocking Oda Ryuumasa away, and the outcome of the battle was decided.

Outside the martial arts arena, when Yagyu Shinichi and others saw this scene, their expressions changed instantly.

"presumptuous!"

The officers and soldiers in the mansion were furious and immediately rushed forward.

When Li Ziye saw this, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, without showing too much panic.

With so many people watching, this right minister should show some measure.

They are all smart people, old foxes, and they must not lose their bearing. Quickly, let these miscellaneous fish get out of the way.

"You all get out of the way!"

Sure enough, at this moment, a coercive voice sounded from behind the crowd, shouting at the subordinates who took action without permission.

Around Li Ziye, one of the generals took orders and immediately retreated.

"It's true that a hero comes from a boy, not bad."

Behind the generals, Oda Ryu was walking towards him, looking at the young man in front of him, with a look of admiration on his face, and said.

"Your Excellency, you have too much praise."

Li Ziye also accepted the offer and bowed respectfully, "You just took advantage of the moves. If we fight again, with three moves at most, I will be defeated."

"Ha ha."

Oda Ryuumasa laughed loudly, without saying much on this topic, and walked towards the outside of the martial arts arena.

"Yagyu, take this little brother to the meeting hall and wait. The general will be here shortly."

"yes!"

Yagyu Shinichi respectfully accepted the order.

The two then went to the meeting hall and waited for the right minister.

In the meeting hall, servants served tea, and the Yingzhou tea ceremony developed rapidly over the past hundreds of years. Not only ministers and generals, but also ordinary people were deeply affected.

Li Ziye picked up the tea, took a sip silently, and put it down again.

It tastes really bad.

Forget it, eating big fish and meat every day is just a cucumber shot once in a while.

"How is it? How is the tea in this general's mansion different from the tea in the Central Plains?"

At this time, Oda Ryu was walking into the hall, kneeling down in front of the main table, looking at the young man in front of him, and asked.

"Everyone has his own merits."

Li Ziye smiled and said, I really don't know if I will be struck by lightning if I tell lies with my eyes open.

"Little brother, there is no one else here, and I will not go around in circles. I know that you are the legitimate son of the Li family of the Great Shang Dynasty. Your Li family is extremely wealthy in the Central Plains. If I let you go back, I don't know, Li

What kind of price can I offer?" Oda Ryuuzheng drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, then put down the cup and said calmly.

"What do you want, Master Youfu?" Li Ziye asked calmly.

"Thirty percent of the Li family's business." Oda Ryuumasa said loudly.

"Can."

Li Ziye agreed directly without even thinking about it.

"Um?"

When Oda Ryuuzheng heard the young man in front of him agreeing so readily, he was a little uncomfortable and asked in surprise, "Don't you bargain, little brother?"

"Money is an external possession, but life is the most important thing."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "I am the only legitimate son of the Li family. If I die in Yingzhou, all the Li family's wealth will fall into the hands of my sworn brother. Such a result will be worse than the 30% of the business demanded by Lord Youfu.

, I can still tell which one is light and which is heavy."

"It's so refreshing to talk to smart people!"

Oda Ryuumasa laughed and said, "Yagyu, what I said, General, is right. There is no need to hide some things. It will be beneficial to everyone if they are spoken out."

"The general is wiser than his subordinates."

Yagyu Shengzhen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, then swallowed it and responded respectfully.

"I wonder, when will Mr. Youfu plan to send me back?" Li Ziye asked with a smile.

"There's no rush. I, the general, have some things to deal with these days. After that, I will send someone to send my little brother back." Oda Ryuumasa responded.

"Is it about the gambling game between Lord Youfu and Minister Taizheng?" Li Ziye asked.

"good."

Oda Ryuuzheng nodded, this matter is not a secret, this kid knows it, it is not surprising.

"Originally, as a Central Plains person, I shouldn't have anything to do with the affairs of Yingzhou. However, Senior Yagyu has helped me save my life. There are some things I still want to say."

The corner of Li Ziye's mouth curved in an unobservable arc, and he said, "Yesterday, as soon as Senior Yagyu and I arrived in Yingzhou, we happened to meet the Minister of Taizheng and Na Dikui. Lord Youfu, you may have been plotted against."

"oh?"

Oda Ryuumasa glanced at Yagyu in front of him on the left, then immediately moved his gaze to the young man in front of him and said, "How do you say this?"

"Excuse me, Lord Youfu, who took the initiative to bring up this bet?" Li Ziye continued to ask.

"Shirakawa Hideze."

Oda Ryuumasa replied, "This general holds the trump card of someone else. However, except for this general and a very small number of his cronies, no one knows about this. Therefore, after Shirakawa Hideze proposed this bet in front of Emperor Zhenwu,

The general agreed, but I didn’t expect it.”

Having said this, Oda Ryuumasa paused and his expression darkened.

"Lord Youfu, have you ever thought that this is a trap set up by the Minister of Taizheng?"

Li Ziye said calmly, "For example, he has long known that Ren Kuiyu is loyal to Mr. Youfu, so he concluded that Mr. Youfu will definitely agree to this competition in order to take this opportunity to seize the military power of the Tian Cong Army. I even doubt that the former Tian Cong Army

The assassination of General Cong was carried out by someone sent by the Minister of Taizheng."

In the meeting hall, Oda Ryuumasa and Yagyu Shinichi were shocked after hearing what the young man in front of them said.

Could it be?

Is it really what this young man said, that they fell into a trap?

Soon, Oda Ryuumasa came back to his senses and said seriously, "Little brother, if the words you just said are heard by outsiders, it will be a death penalty."

"There are no outsiders here."

Li Ziye looked sincerely and said calmly, "Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Oda Ryuuzheng burst out laughing and said, "What you said is right, little brother. There are no outsiders here. Please continue."

Li Ziye curled his lips slightly and continued, "As far as I know, General Tian Cong is not weak, and with the guards on guard, it is not easy to succeed in the assassination. Mr. Youfu, I have to say something disrespectful, even if you have

Mr. Fu has many masters at his disposal, so if you want to assassinate General Tian Cong, it may not be that easy."

Oda Ryuumasa nodded and responded, "Yes, although I have many masters in my hands, the chance of killing General Tiancong is slim unless Rengui takes action himself."

"In this way, it makes sense that the Minister of Taizheng got the help of Di Kui, so he secretly sent Di Kui to get rid of General Tian Cong. Moreover, he was sure that Lord Youfu would definitely agree to the military competition in front of the emperor, so he set up a plan

In this game, Lord Youfu will be brought into the game, so that we can legitimately seize the military power of the Tian Cong Army!"

Li Ziye said seriously, "Your Excellency, the Minister of Taizheng has already taken action. If you don't think of a way to counterattack, you will have to watch helplessly as the military power of the Tian Cong Army falls into the hands of the Minister of Taizheng."

"Little brother, what do you have to say?" Oda Ryuumasa frowned.

"Takami doesn't dare to say anything, but I have a small suggestion that Mr. Youfu can consider."

Li Ziye said softly, "It was the Taizheng Minister who took the initiative to propose a martial arts competition before the emperor. This is something that many people know. Now that he has got a master like Di Kui, he is sure of winning, so we can make a fuss about this matter."

, move the situation back."

"How do you say this?" Oda Ryuumasa asked puzzledly.

"What is the crime of assassinating General Tiancong?" Li Ziye asked.

"capital offense."

Oda Ryuumasa said in a deep voice, "Disaster for the Nine Clans!"

"If the people of Yingzhou knew that General Tian Cong was killed by someone sent by the Taizheng Minister, and then plotted to seize the military power of Tian Cong's army, how would they react?" Li Ziye said seriously.

“The crowd is excited!”

Oda Ryuumasa's eyes gradually brightened and he responded.

"Water can carry a boat and also overturn it. When the people of Yingzhou all believe that General Tian Cong was killed by the Taizheng Minister, the public's anger will inevitably be at its peak. From now on, Emperor Zhenwu will not be able to sit idly by and ignore it. By then, this day

The military power of Cong Jun."
