Ordering two attendants to stay outside the door in case anyone approached, Zheng Shanchuan followed the shopkeeper to push the door and walked in. Eight?? A Chinese network ?.

In the dimly lit room sat a monk, two of them closed their eyes and recuperated, and their mouths were full of words. But as soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, the two guys who were still chanting the Buddha invariably reached out and grabbed the blade in front of them and looked at the door with a wary face, and saw that it was the innkeeper, so they breathed a sigh of relief and put down the knife. "Master Liu, has Zheng Protector arrived?" The monk asked.

The shopkeeper is not an ordinary person, he is the altar owner of the Hangzhou branch of the Zhejiang General Hall of Wuwei Sect. The reason why such an inn is operated outside the city is to disguise his identity, and secondly, to take advantage of this convenient condition to listen to news from all over the world.

Although the status of these foot merchants is lowly, they rely on a pair of feet to travel all over the world, and they are also well-informed. Like this inn of the same style on the outskirts of Hangzhou, there are many Wuwei Sects in other places, in order to collect news and respond to the situation. For example, when Zheng Shanchuan concealed his identity and went to Guangdong to defect to Zeng Yiyi, encouraging him to plunder Guangdong, it was reported that there was a remnant of the Japanese in Guangdong, and they were very ambitious, and often sailed ashore to burn, kill and loot.

"Zen master, Taoist leader, this is my Wuwei Teaching Zheng Protector." The shopkeeper pointed to Zheng Shanchuan and introduced to the two.

"The poor monk is prosperous, the poor road is floating clouds, I have seen Mr. Zheng." The two of them looked overjoyed and hurriedly got up to salute. One hands folded, one palm on his chest, full of humility.

"Hehe, I have admired the names of the two strong men for a long time, and when I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation." Zheng Shanchuan flattered. As he spoke, he looked at the monk in front of him with a smile on his face. Looking at the yellow and thin faces of the two, it seems that the rumors are true, and the life at sea is really not good.

The two people in front of them, the monk Dharma name Ansheng, and the Taoist Dharma name Fuyun. Although he is in the robber business of killing people and stealing goods, he is dressed as a monk and a Taoist priest. One holds a rosary, and the other holds a whisk, if Zheng Sihai didn't know their identities in advance, he really thought that they were a monk traveling the world together.

In the early years, these two were indeed monks and Taoist priests. It's just that they misbehaved and often violated the rules and precepts, so they were expelled from the mountain gate. Fate is predestined, and by chance, the two of them met together in the process of cheating. First of all, there was a contest, but they sympathized with each other regardless of victory or defeat, got to know each other, and even more smelled like each other. Since then, the two have traveled together, with this outfit, they cooperate with each other to cheat, cheat and steal, and live a happy life.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and that year was when the Japanese were in trouble, and one accidentally two of them were plundered by the Japanese invaders. Although he has the identity of a widow, his work is only to stay on the island and do some dirty and tiring chores.

However, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, relying on a pit to be abducted and stolen, coupled with a few words of Zen that came out from time to time, the status of the two of them in that group of Han people was also soaring, and they even mixed into the positions of two small leaders, who were responsible for staying on the island to guard the products, and lived a happy life again.

originally thought that he would spend the rest of his life comfortably like this, but when the waves rose again, a fierce general appeared in the imperial guard, the large Qi Jiguang. This man was both wise and brave, and led his soldiers to fight in various places to kill the Japanese invaders who fled one after another, and many famous people in the Japanese invaders fell into his hands, including the kings of An Sheng and Fuyun.

There is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to call the king, the boss with the elite soldiers will be wiped out in 6 places, and the Ansheng monk and Fuyun Lao Dao, who stayed on the island, have become the new leaders, and the remnants of the forces are entrenched in the dangerous Daqushan Islands. provoked the remnants of the nearby pirates to take refuge one after another, and in just a few years, more than 3,000 horses and horses, and more than 200 large and small ships were gathered.

Although the old saying is that more people have more power, but one more person has one more mouth. It didn't take long for the little grain and grass accumulated in the early years to bottom. After some deliberation, the two decided to send people to risk going ashore to plunder. Of course, such actions are all small, and the purpose is to get some grain and grass, once the scale is too large, it is very likely to provoke Qi Jiguang's evil spirit.

But after coming and going, the soldiers of the coastal guard station were not vulnerable at all, and they were not as powerful as those who had picked up a strip and fled back under Qi Jiguang's hands. Once it is born and twice cooked, and the third time it is as bold as a tiger. He fought more than a dozen battles with officers and soldiers, large and small, but there were more wins and fewer losses.

After so many times, the two of them have become a lot bolder, and they have gathered all the horses and horses to land and plunder many times since then, but they have been arrogant for a long time.

This is what happened when Shen Chongming was in Beijing that day, and the coastal widows who provoked the thunderous anger of Emperor Longqing were troubled again. It's a pity that after being suggested by Shen Chongming, the soldiers of the coastal guard station who were under pressure fought desperately, and the first major battle completely reversed the situation, and the three thousand men and horses under the command of the two killed were only less than 1,000 people, and they fled back to the Daqushan Islands in embarrassment.

This fiasco frightened the two leaders who went out in person, and they hid on the island in panic all day long, for fear that the imperial army would take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the island.

However, the enemy did not wait, and their own problems made the two of them embarrassed, and the island ran out of food and grass! Some time ago, it was a smooth day, and no one would have thought that the situation would become so fast, and the grain looted in the past had long been squandered.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, there is no shortage of food on the island. But eating sea fish every day, as long as you are a normal person, you can't stand it, plus the nutritional imbalance that everyone doesn't understand, it only took a month, and half of the remaining 1,000 people and horses fell ill.

The men and horses under his command were originally rushing to live a good life, but there was no loyalty or disloyalty to the two of them, and when they saw that this life could not go on, many people were moved to turn to other places. You must know that there is not only one of them on this sea, and there are more than 20 other forces that are slightly smaller.

The two also have a lot of henchmen, as soon as they heard that the people below actually had this kind of thought, they couldn't help but panic, if the people were scattered, the Daqushan Islands with such a good terrain would have to be handed over to others, and the two of them would no longer be able to call for wind and rain like this.

The two of them are not stupid, they found the crux of the problem after pondering, and they still ate it in one bite! If you want to keep your subordinates, the only thing you can do is to let everyone eat and drink without worry. But now that the shore is not daring to go up, where can I get grain? After thinking about it, I could only pay attention to the passing merchant ships, which not only contained goods, but also the grain stored on the voyage must also be indispensable.

But since Qi Jiguang and others defeated the Japanese invaders, the stricter the sea ban, the fewer and fewer merchant ships that secretly went to sea. Occasionally, there are one or two, but if people can sail out of the harbor under the nose of the government, the equipment on the ship is absolutely excellent. Not only are the ships bigger than their own, but they are also guarded by many sailors, and they are equipped with artillery, which is much stronger than their own. To rob such a fleet can only be said to be self-defeating.

But the fire burns the eyebrows, and I have to try it if I don't have the bottom in my heart, otherwise what awaits the brothers is only poverty and destitude. In this way, the two of them took their men and horses to intercept the fleet that had been returning with a full load, and the result was not to be said, anyway, as soon as they returned to the island, they packed their bags and prepared to escape back to the shore to do their old job.

But at this moment, a merchant ship took the initiative to dock on Daqushan Island. The prey took the initiative to fly into the rice pot, and this coke spoiled the Zen master and the Taoist. If you are at sea, you may be afraid of one or two, but if you dock, it is the number of people who fight, a ship can carry up to 100 people, and there is no suspense in taking it. Without saying a word, the two of them rushed to the beach with their men and horses and surrounded them, and their first thought was to rob the grain on the ship, and temporarily comfort the stomach that had not eaten whole grains for many days!

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the place, the other party clearly took the initiative to wait for them on the shore, and the people on the boat had already disembarked, and there was no panic when they saw the appearance of the large group of people. As soon as the leader saw the two of them, he immediately stepped forward to introduce himself, and said a name that everyone had never heard of before—Wuweijiao!

I listened to the man's babbling introduction for a long time, saying that he admired the two of them and came to make friends. Zen Master An Sheng and Fuyun Dao Chang are both understanding people, although these words sound pleasing to the ear, but the meaning is to incorporate their own men and horses, and the meeting gift is the 1,000 stone grain on the merchant ship.

Although this thing is not worth much silver, but for the Zen master and Taoist who have not eaten grains for a long time, it is closer than gold, and the most important thing is that there are so many grains and grasses, plus seafood to accompany the meal, which is enough to maintain the nearly 1,000 people on the island for three months. Avoiding the words of incorporation, the two of them smiled very unceremoniously at the thousand stone grain

After a big meal and drink, the two of them couldn't help but think about the way out in the future when they were satisfied. Although it has avoided the words of incorporation, it will last for three months at most if the grain and grass are full, and the problem of pressing down on the grain will still emerge for the time being.

After discussing until late at night, the two who were originally unambitious finally decided to follow Wuweijiao, after all, their worth is still quite high, and there is room for bargaining. If it takes a while, when the men and horses are almost gone, I'm afraid I won't even have my own share of a little minion.

With a plan, despite the fact that it was late, he still walked out of the cave to find the messenger of Wuweijiao. When I went in, I saw that the two people had already prepared two of their own fragrant teas waiting for the two of them. There was a sigh of emotion in my heart, it seems that people have long understood the situation of the two of them, and they are sure that the two of them will definitely agree.

A few polite words, the person who came directly made a condition, as long as they returned sincerely, from now on, the two of them will be listed among the eight great kings of the Wuwei Sect, and these eight kings are second only to the position of the four hall masters of the Wuwei Sect.

With such good conditions, it stands to reason that the two of them should agree to it. But the two of them, who were old and sophisticated, endured the excitement in their hearts, and still said that they were thinking about it, and they were also looked down upon by others.

As soon as he said this, the other party directly invited the two of them to Hangzhou for a talk, saying that if there were any requirements, they could also raise them with the senior management of the church in person. The two of them agreed to this condition without thinking about it, but the condition was not mentioned, just take this opportunity to get acquainted with the high-level of the sect, if the status of the person who comes is really not small, it is also a good way to show loyalty and find a backer. So, the next morning, I arranged the things on the island and rushed back to Hangzhou by boat.
