The weapon is an ancient colorful sword, which seems to be an ancient sting in the Ming Dynasty. The guide dart master's eyes jumped, this saber is not a general thing, this person is not a nobody.

There are also three darts, a few bottles of pills and so on. A typical belongings of a charlatan.

The most suspicious thing is, of course, Zhang Yingchen's portrait, no one would hide a portrait of a Taoist priest for no reason.

Min Zhanlian was naked, his hands were tied behind his back and he knelt on the ground, this kind of humiliation and pain was really unbearable. After a little struggle, the joints everywhere are pinched to death, no matter if you are a hero, you can't exert your strength if you are as strong as an ox.

He panicked in his heart, this kind of kung fu seems to be in the public gate, could it be that he provoked the factory guard or a certain eunuch this time? Thinking of this, Min Zhanlian couldn't help but feel cold.

"What do you do?" Ye Mengyan stared at him coldly.

Min Zhanlian was stunned, this person was almost a teenager, but his eyes were cold and ruthless, and he looked like a murderous character without blinking.

"I'm a charlatan. I picked up a deal here, but I couldn't do it, and I was hurrying to Jining to take a boat back. He forced his composure, and he couldn't help but think of ways to save himself.

"What's your name?"

"Practicing in Xiamin." Min Zhanlian knew that lying on this issue would not help, and said honestly.

"Oh! Are you the so-called killer? Ye Mengyan heard the dart master whisper a few times to him and nodded.

"Yes, in the future, it has always been the money of people and the elimination of disasters by people."

"Whom?"

"There is a local sect called Nan Wuliang Sect, I don't know if this master knows?" He fully expressed his sincerity in cooperation and replied fluently: "Three months ago, they sent people to Henan to contact Zai Xia to bring people to deal with him. ”

"Who are you going to kill?"

"A Taoist priest surnamed Zhang." Min Zhanlian decided not to hide this fact, who told him to accidentally put the portrait of Daoist Zhang on his body for a while?

He just didn't expect that if it weren't for this portrait, he would have been a nameless corpse in a roadside ditch.

"Are you going to kill someone?"

"I don't dare to kill it." Min Zhanlian immediately talked about Zhang Yingchen's "miracles". He was very cunning, and only talked about hearsay, not what he saw with his own eyes - because he didn't know whether the other party and Zhang Yingchen were friends or enemies, it was better to keep a little distance himself.

"Such a half-human, half-demon character really doesn't dare to ask about it." Min Zhanlian said, "I had to go back with someone." I lost my horse on the road, and I was confused and offended everyone! ”

His words were reasonable, and he quietly tore up his relationship with Nan Wuliangjiao and Zhang Yingchen cleanly. Next, admitting happily that he "has eyes but no beads" is equivalent to "admitting that he is "admitted", and admitting that the other party is stronger than himself can often satisfy the other party's vanity and let himself go.

Although there were casualties on both sides of the conflict, and the possibility of the other side raising his noble hand was extremely small, he always had to fight for it.

interrogated Zhou Ruolan again, and her confession was much the same. However, in contrast, Ye Mengyan quickly understood the truth: this group of people did come to kill Daoist Zhang, because Zhang Yingchen's "mana" was too strong and fled.

"This Taoist priest pretends to be a ghost all day long, and still has mana?" Ye Mengyan felt incredible, he had almost forgotten about high school physics.

In the evening, he and Zhang Yingchen met, and the two sides exchanged views on the local situation.

Zhang Yingchen's request was simple: to defend his missionary activities in the local area by force, to fight against the local shili of the Southern Wuliang Sect, and to ensure the safety of himself and the local church.

"I'm in a pretty delicate situation right now," Mr. Zhang said, "and I'm almost at a precarious balance point, and I don't know when my actions will upset the balance."

"So I need force to make sure that the balance is not broken, and you can see that the opponents are not taboo about the use of violence, so without violence as a backing, I will not be able to gain a foothold here, let alone spread the new Taoism."

Zhang Yingchen looked directly at Ye Mengyan when he said these words, and made a frank mō appearance, he knew that this kid was very difficult.

Ye Mengyan's request to Zhang Yingchen was very boring: in his opinion, Zhang Daochang was obviously engaged in a "cult", and as far as Ye Mengyan himself was concerned, he hated all religions to the core, and he was an authentic atheist crusader knight and chief magistrate of the atheist inquisition. Whether it is Dean Wu, Priest Bai, or Zhang and Dai, they have all received his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that they were "comrades" and that the use of religion was an established policy at this stage, it is likely that these people would have been treated even less well.

"No problem. Who are you going to kill? Ye Mengyan got straight to the point.

"I'm not going to kill anyone for the time being"

"It's hypocritical."

"No, I don't even know who to kill." Zhang Yingchen is telling the truth, so far, he doesn't even know the specific situation of his opponent in the local area.

The followers who had taken refuge didn't know much more than he did.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Keep me safe at all times, keep the big store safe." Zhang Yingchen said solemnly, "From now on, I'm going to start pressure tactics."

Zhang Yingchen's pressure tactic is to actively carry out missionary activities from now on, from an ambiguous low-key to high-profile activities, fiercely competing for believers to force the other party to actively deal with himself again.

The enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light. If the other party can't come out of hibernation, he will always be in a dangerous state of preventing thieves for a thousand days. Only by stabbing them with a big move can he seize the opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole and wipe out his opponent.

"When I get here, I will train another batch by myself." Zhang Yingchen's words were relaxed, "Soon a small-scale religious dispute will be provoked in the whole of Yizhou, and I estimate that it will not be long before a religious war will be caused."

"Dang, I'm your Templar, right?"

"Or my Inquisitor." Zhang Yingchen said in a soft voice, "Xiao Ye." ”

"No problem." Ye Mengyan nodded.

Zhang Yingchen asked, "What are you going to do with those two killers?" ”

"Kill it, bury it in the middle of the night."

Zhang Yingchen's heart tightened, and Zhou Ruolan was just fine, thinking of Min Zhanlian's beautiful muscle lines, like the flexibility of a spirit leopard, he couldn't help but secretly regret that it was rare for the natives to meet such a handsome man.

Ye Mengyan saw that his face was uncertain, and he was secretly amused in his heart. Immediately turned it over again and said: "If there is a suitable place to be detained, you might as well detain it first and then make a fall." ”

Smiling slightly, the two looked at each other, each comprehending. Zhang Yingchen secretly praised himself, but he didn't expect that after a few years, Xiao Ye became empathetic, and he was really a mature man.

In the next few days, a steady stream of new teams arrived from Jining. The first was the dispatch of missionaries from the headquarters of the Neo-Taoist Church. Considering that most of these old Qiongshan children could only speak Qiongshan dialect, which the locals could not understand at all, Zhang Yingchen only needed three missionaries who could speak the best Mandarin and were more reliable to help with teaching affairs. As for the specific missionary work, it will be handed over to the local believers who have taken refuge in him, and anyway, for the time being, he does not need the followers to know much about the teachings of the new Taoism.

Secondly, the other horses of the first detachment, 20 team members and dozens of support personnel from Qiweizhan came from Jining separately with various equipment and supplies. These included a large number of medicines and Neo-Taoist religious propaganda materials printed at the Hangzhou Station Printing House.

In order to facilitate the command, Zhang Yingchen moved his office from the Zhuang house to the small temple outside the village, which has been officially renamed "Yunshengguan" by him. During the day, he trained missionaries and directed missionary work. In the evening, he returned to the house for the night in order to continue his work with the banker.

After a meeting between him and the dealer, an agreement was reached between the two parties to open a pharmacy. It is well known that the various medicines in the hands of Zhang Daoshi are very effective, and now Zhang Yingchen provides these Chinese patent medicines as yòuhuò, attracting the dealer to achieve quite favorable conditions for himself, the most important of which is that the dealer joins his charity project.

Zhang Yingchen's charity project is no different from Guo Yi's original work in Guangzhou. Nominally, it handles all kinds of charities regardless of type, but in fact, it is mainly to take in refugees and transport them abroad. In the final analysis, the reason why Zhang Yingchen came to Lunan alone against all odds was precisely to shelter the flood victims here, and preaching was just incidental work.

The area around southern Lunan, including Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu Province, has been a place of frequent floods since the end of the Apocalypse, and this spring's floods have caused disasters in several state capitals.

Grain, the Senate has prepared sufficient quantities, and a considerable part of the relief rations have arrived in Hong Kong and are waiting to be loaded on ships to be shipped to Hangzhou Station and Qigu Island. Yizhou is only 200 kilometers away from Jining, an important hub on the Grand Canal, and 200 kilometers away from Rizhao Port, which is very convenient for both sea and water transportation. If you want to use the current sub-base on Qiyu Island, you can also take Yishui: starting from Yizhou and going north along Yishui, you can follow the giant ocean water to Laizhou Bay by a short overland, and it is not far to Qigu Island.

This route is clearly the most suitable, making full use of the existing facilities and carrying large enough traffic. At present, the team of Denglei is carrying out route exploration and maintenance of ship depots on this route. Ensure that the relief rations transferred from Hong Kong can be transported smoothly to Yizhou.

The Foreign Intelligence Bureau's report on the engine operation pointed out that during the operation, all kinds of motorized transportation in Shandong Province should focus more on river transportation, and the local water system is vertical and horizontal, and there are many large rivers that can navigate ships of several hundred tons or more.
