Han Shide didn't dare to come out of what he said, so he had to reply in a low voice: "The disciple is incompetent, the disciple will think of a perfect way to go back and think of a perfect way." ”

Tianyi Daoren sighed: "It seems that I can't count on you anymore, I'm too disappointed in you, but I have made preparations in advance, you do it according to my method, maybe there is a chance to turn the tables." ”

When Han Shide heard this, he knew that the Tianyi Dao people had already made arrangements, so he said respectfully: "The disciple is willing to listen to the teachings of the Heavenly Master. ”

Tianyi Daoren turned around and patted Han Shide on the shoulder: "Zhang Dingbian has a son, named Zhang Yu, this kid has been under the command of King Yan of Beiping before, I heard that he is also a fierce general on the battlefield, I have already controlled Zhang Yu in my hands, as long as I use this son to coerce Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Dingbian dares to comply?" ”

As soon as Han Shide heard this, he came to his senses, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Gao, Gao, the Heavenly Master is clever, it turns out that everything has long been under your control, the Heavenly Master is strategizing, and the disciple admires." ”

"Don't shoot the sycophants, go and arrange it right away, don't let me down this time." Tianyi Dao didn't look back, flew to a tree branch in the distance, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Yao Guangqi took Li Rou to Tianshengguan again.

When Zhang Shili saw the two, he smiled and quipped: "Your father's spirit in the sky, not only don't you have to worry about your son, but even your grandson doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Li Rouzhen's face was flushed, and she took a sip and lowered her head to hide behind Yao Guangqi: "What about the elders, so indecent." Then he turned around and walked out, but was pulled by Yao Guangqi, "Don't go, I have something serious to tell my uncle." ”

Zhang Shili smiled: "Is it a matter of the World Alliance?" When are you going to do it? ”

Yao Guangqi shook his head: "Look, uncle, even you think that we should attack the Tianxia Alliance, then they must also think so, so the Tianxia Alliance must have made careful preparations a long time ago, and we may not be able to get a bargain if we do it now." So I'm going to do the opposite, to their surprise. ”

Zhang Shili coughed, he agreed with Yao Guangqi's thinking: "Then, after the unexpected." ”

Yao Guangqi continued: "Generally speaking, it is a sound to attack the west, and the specific plan is that the outside is loose and the inside is tight, on the surface we pretend to recuperate and stay still, but secretly we have to step up preparations. I had visited the Iron Buddha Temple at night before, and I accidentally heard some secret conversations, and from the clues, I felt that the Tianxia Alliance also had a conspiracy against Lei Xianzong, so my plan was to use this to make a fuss. First of all, I want to let the wind go out first, so that everyone knows that I believe that the number one enemy is Lei Xianzong, so I don't plan to attack the Tianxia Alliance for the time being, but to do it to Lei Xianzong, so that Lei Xianzong can be nervous first, and even bluff a little to force Lei Xianzong to make a move. ”

Li Rou continued: "Uncle, I heard that the real one in the World Alliance is not the leader of the alliance, Han Shide, but a Taoist priest, some people say that he is an immortal, have you heard of it?" ”

Zhang Shili quipped: "Why, I haven't married yet, so I call my uncle?" ”

Li Rou blushed instantly, lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes and stopped talking.

Zhang Shili smiled: "Forget it, the little girl is shy." There is indeed this thing, it is a Taoist priest called Tianyi Daoren, many years ago he suddenly appeared in the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and no one knows what the origin is. This Taoist priest is very proficient in medical skills and Taoism, practicing medicine and medicine, saving countless people, and gradually accumulating some prestige among the people. Once he really disappeared the West Lake in broad daylight in front of many people, and the scene was really like a living immortal, and the people called him a fairy from then on. And this Taoist priest cures the sick and saves people without trying to reciprocate, cures the disease, not only never asks for money, but also does not accept alms, saying that the heavens sent him to the lower realm in order to relieve the suffering of the world, so the people not only call him a living immortal, but many people want to worship under his door, but this Taoist priest never accepts disciples, so although this person's prestige is high, he did not start a sect. A few years ago, a man named Han Shide suddenly appeared, claiming to be the eldest disciple of Tianyi Dao, and founded the Tianxia Alliance under this name to recruit disciples. What did he say about the alliance of the world, to save the suffering people of the world? The Taoist priest did not deny it, so the Tianxia League actually secretly borrowed the fame of the Tianyi Daoist people, and gradually grew stronger, at the beginning, the Tianxia League did help a lot of poor people, and also rectified several bullies, and indeed accumulated some reputation among the people, but later, the Tianxia League began to secretly collude with some salt merchants, and the salt profit has always been the sole hegemony of Leixianzong, which has friction with Leixianzong, and later, they even reached out to the trading of grain, silk reeling, and cloth, most of these trading merchants are disciples of our sect, Therefore, we often have disagreements with the world alliance. ”

Li Rou nodded as she listened, and at the end, she showed a hint of an intriguing smile.

On the tenth night of the first month of February, in the Iron Buddha Temple, Li Chengliu hurriedly came to Zhang Dingbian: "Sect Master, now it can be determined, my several eyeliner replies are almost the same, Tianchengzong is indeed ready to do something to us." ”

Zhang Dingbian didn't look surprised, and said calmly: "This kid is really unexpected, he doesn't pinch the soft persimmon world, but he wants to attack us first, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, do you know when to do it?" ”

Li Chengliu shook his head: "Those few are all peripheral people, they are afraid of leaks, and they don't dare to ask deeply." ”

Just when Zhang Dingbian was deep in thought, Wang Fusi came in from outside and took out a letter from his arms: "Sect Master, there is a letter here, which was brought by someone from the Tianxia Alliance, saying that you must open it with your own hands. ”

Li Chengliu cautiously stopped: "Sect Master, you can't dismantle it, be careful of poison." ”

Zhang Dingbian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who over there asked me to pass it over?" ”

Wang Fusi replied: "Yangzhou Mu, Xu Huaiyu." ”

Zhang Dingbian took the letter, opened it without hesitation, and said calmly: "They are also roasted on the fire now, now poison me and fight with us, isn't that cheap Tianchengzong for nothing, they are not so stupid." So for them, it's best to join forces with us now......"

Zhang Dingbian suddenly threw the letter on the ground, and at the same time scolded angrily: "Bastard, do it, these beasts, they actually resorted to such obscene means. ”

Wang Fusi asked in surprise, "Sect Master, something is wrong?" ”

Zhang Dingbian gritted his teeth and his eyes were red: "My little rabbit cub is now in their hands, they asked me to meet, fuck, they clearly want to blackmail me." ”

Li Chengliu also scolded excitedly: "Damn, these dogs and mothers will play yin, and they can think of such a bad trick, it's really not a thing." Sect Master, you let me take my brothers there, I will take Gongzi back at all costs, as long as Gongzi is safe, we will immediately destroy the bastards of the World Alliance. ”

Zhang Dingbian forcibly calmed himself down, gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and said, "Let's talk about it first." ”

Early the next morning, in a pavilion on the top of Phoenix Mountain, Zhang Dingbian arrived as promised.

Han Shide, the leader of the World Alliance, also came alone, and when he saw Zhang Dingbian, Han Shide warmly hugged his fists and saluted: "The general really kept the contract." ”

Zhang Dingbian sneered: "My son is in your hands, and if you don't keep the contract, you won't be able to do it." ”

Han Shi smiled: "If you say so, Han has to explain, the virtuous nephew is a guest here for the time being, we will entertain him, and he will be sent back unscathed later." ”

Zhang Dingbian said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, what conditions, just say it." ”

Han Shide was still smiling: "Then I'll say it bluntly, you know, the silk of the current Suzhou and Hangzhou generation, whether in the capital or in the north, can be sold at a good price, but those silkworm farmers and weavers are all protected by Tianchengzong, and the input of trading has always been dominated by Tianchengzong. Now we want to join forces with your sect to take over the silk trade together, and afterwards we will still divide it fifty-fifty, how about it? ”

Zhang Dingbian scolded in his heart, join forces? Let your mother's fart, this is obviously forcing me to grab it, you just sit back and enjoy it. Let me go and fight hard with Tianchengzong, you will be safe, it is really a good calculation. Although he saw through the other party's intentions, after all, his son was in the hands of the other party, so he couldn't turn his face now, Zhang Dingbian had to say coldly: "As long as I make a move, will you let my son go?" ”

Han Shide smiled and said: "Why are you in a hurry, the virtuous nephew eats and drinks well with us, and enjoys the blessings, when we get more than sixty percent of the silk in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas together, the virtuous nephew will naturally return to you." ”

"Sixty percent!" Zhang Dingbian snorted: "What a big breath, sixty percent of the benefits, even if I fight with Tiancheng Sect and the blood flow is wiped out, I may not be able to take it down." ”

Han Shide comforted: "Why did you forget, you are not fighting alone, and our World Alliance will also help when the time is right." ”

Zhang Dingbian hated to slap Han Shide to death with one palm, but he restrained his kung fu, snorted, and walked away. Han Shide, who was behind him, shouted: "It's about to be the mulberry picking season, the general must hurry." ”

The Tianxia League and Lei Xianzong conspired with their own thoughts, Yao Guangqi was not idle, he went to Suzhou and Taizhou several branches one after another, and everywhere he went, he only spent a short time meeting with the local hall master, and most of the time was spent with low-level disciples, chatting, understanding the local trading market, climate, people's livelihood, and specialties, and had a full understanding of the voices of the low-level disciples.

In this way, it took a whole month until the beginning of March when Yao Guangqi returned to Hangzhou.

Just returned to Hangzhou, Xu Zhongmou hurried to visit, to Xu Zhongmou, Yao Guangqi's impression is very good, although he once received benefits and betrayed Zhang Shili in disguise, but Yuanzhao Temple stood up that night, swore not to surrender, sacrificed his life to resist the enemy, such integrity and courage, is a good man. Therefore, Yao Guangqi not only did not remove his deputy sect master, but also entrusted him with the important task of inspection. At this time, Xu Zhongmou came, Yao Guangqi received Xu Zhongmou very warmly, as soon as the two met, Xu Zhongmou was about to salute, but Yao Guangqi warmly took Xu Zhongmou's hand: "Uncle Xu, I haven't seen you for many days, you are a lot older." ”
