Yao Guangqi's kindness and easy-going made Xu Zhongmou feel like a spring breeze, but he still said respectfully: "You call me uncle, your subordinates are comfortable, but there is a difference between the top and bottom, I really don't dare to take this title, I am a person who has made mistakes, and I dare not call myself an elder in front of the sect master." ”

Yao Guangqi said with a smile: "Uncle Xu is too modest, the so-called flaws are not hidden, you were indeed deceived by traitors at the beginning, but that was not your original intention. You have great loyalty and courage in the face of great right and wrong, and stand up to solve problems for your sect in times of crisis, such a good man is an example for our younger generations and a model for the sect. Besides, you are an old man who followed your father to fight in the north and south, how can I be arrogant in front of you, little nephew. ”

Yao Guangqi's words, although there was no lack of compliments, but on the whole it was the truth, and what he said was both honest and emotional, Xu Zhongmou was very moved after hearing it, tears appeared in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "I am old and have made mistakes, since the sect master continues to trust me as an old guy, then my old bones will sell my strength for a few more years." Speaking of this, Xu Zhongmou took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms: "The night before yesterday, Lei Xianzong raided our eight incense halls in Hangzhou, and it was done at the same time, and the momentum was very large, and the eight incense halls were all destroyed. ”

"Are there many casualties?" Yao Guangqi frowned, he didn't expect Lei Xianzong to take the initiative again.

Xu Zhongmou said: "Our brothers have been very cautious recently, and every incense hall is very vigilant when gatherings, so there are not many casualties, but the incense halls have been burned. ”

Yao Guangqi looked at the words on the yellow paper carefully, and read it twice: "Have they read this note, uncle?" ”

Xu Zhongmou blushed, hesitated and didn't speak.

Yao Guangqi understood that this was Xu Zhongmou's shame to see Zhang Shili, and he was embarrassed to show it to Zhang Shili, so he said with a smile: "Time has passed, my uncle is an open-minded person, let's go, let's go together." ”

When Yao Guangqi and Xu Zhongmou arrived, Zhang Shili was playing Jiugong boxing outside the mountain gate, seeing the two coming, Zhang Shili was stunned, and then stopped and said to Yao Guangqi with a smile: "When Zhang Tianyu was in power, the old brothers often came, and there was always someone to talk to me, not lonely at all. Now that Zhang Tianyu is gone, the sect is the same as before, but the old brothers are busy with their own work, and there are fewer people who come to talk to me, but I feel unaccustomed to it. How about it, Lao Xu, you can often come and talk to me in the future. ”

Xu Zhongmou blushed, and suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Shili: "Old sect master, I'm not a human, I'm a beast, I'm a ghost, I received the benefits of Zhang Tianyu, you don't remember the villain, and the person surnamed Xu will go to the soup to repay your kindness in the future." ”

Zhang Shili smiled generously: "It's all over, don't mention it, you kid is good, stand up for your brothers at a critical moment, dare to fight hard with Han Shi, just rush this, I Zhang Shili admires you, okay, that matter is over." ”

Yao Guangqi looked at Xu Zhongmou with a smile: "How about it, my uncle is an open-minded person, you can rest assured." As he spoke, he took out the piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Shili, who squinted his eyes and frowned and said, "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”

Entering the main hall, Zhang Shili asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yao Guangqi said without hesitation: "It seems that I have to go in person, it's not easy." ”

Zhang Shi thought for a while, "Bring more people, the situation is unknown, so as not to fall for tricks." ”

March 21, Gu Yu. The drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River continued, and Han Shi had to come to the top of Phoenix Mountain as promised.

Zhang Dingbian still came alone. Han Shide saw Zhang Dingbian, and still smiled: "What do you have to say to your face, wouldn't it be good for you to let someone bring a message?" ”

Zhang Dingbian said coldly: "I have recently attacked Tianchengzong three times, except for the first time, the last two times I was ambushed by Tianchengzong, I lost my troops and lost my generals and did not get too many benefits, does the master of the Han League know?" ”

Han Shide immediately straightened his face: "Do you suspect that I deliberately leaked the news to Tianchengzong?" Let you attack each other, and I will reap the benefits? ”

Zhang Dingbian looked at Han Shide with sharp eyes: "Isn't it?" ”

Han Shide also sneered: "You and I are now grasshoppers on a rope, if I pit you, I will be the next to fall, will I be stupid enough to harm myself?" ”

Zhang Dingbian said coldly: "I also think about it, a person like the leader of the Han League who understands will never do such a stupid thing." So I suspect that there is a ghost in the Tiancheng Sect under my subordinates, and after careful investigation, there is indeed a harvest, guess what? I pulled out a total of seven eyeliners, I thought they were all sent by the Tiancheng Sect, but I didn't expect that there were three people from your league here, the lord of the Han League just said why don't you send someone to send you a letter, because these three people can't send you a letter in the future, so I have to go to say hello to you in person. ”

Zhang Dingbian's words, Han Shide was angry and hateful, but his face remained silent and continued to smile: "Where are you talking, I think there is a misunderstanding here, it's okay to say it in person, so as not to spread the wrong words below." Then he smiled awkwardly: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Zhang Dingbian snorted: "Every year on the sixth day of the fourth month, on the day of the beginning of summer, Tianchengzong will have a big gathering of the whole sect, at this meeting, they will coordinate the contradictions of some merchants, and will also redistribute the territory of merchants and weavers in various places, and will determine the proportion of each incense hall in various places to hand over to the main hall this year, so at that time, their important disciples in various places, especially the representatives of the disciples of merchants, weavers and grain farmers under their control will participate, it can be said that the elite gathers, if they do it on this day, if they can succeed, That's the equivalent of giving them all in one go. ”

Han Shi's eyes lit up: "General Zhang is really good at scheming, have you found out clearly?" ”

Zhang Dingbian was still expressionless: "Last year, they gathered in Suzhou Daci'en Temple, and this year they settled in the Tianshengguan, the location of the Tianshengguan is remote and sparsely populated, and my people know that a small road leads directly to the back mountain of the Tianshengguan, and our people can appear behind them unknowingly, and suddenly attack them when they are unprepared during the party." As long as no one slips away this time, I believe we will succeed. ”

Han Shide knew that what Zhang Dingbian said was referring to himself, but he deliberately pretended not to understand: "Good way, I wish you success." ”

Zhang Dingbian looked at Han Shide: "I'm afraid I can't just wish me success, the Han League Lord said first, when the time is right, you also have to help, if you want to succeed this time, our sect must be the elite to do its best, but even so, there is no absolute certainty, Han League Master, if we can join forces again, I believe we will be able to make up for the regret last time." ”

Han Shide was really moved, but he didn't dare to make the decision to agree to Zhang Dingbian, so he said with a smile: "Recently, my people have been scattered and sent to various places, I must go back first to urge people from all over the country to return quickly, and when I calculate the manpower, how about replying to you in a few days?" ”

Zhang Dingbian didn't say anything, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Returning to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, Han Shide went directly to the secret room of the Tianyi Daoist and retold Zhang Dingbian's plan as it was. Tianyi Daoren closed his eyes and asked, "Do you think Zhang Dingbian is credible?" ”

Han Shide replied thoughtfully: "Zhang Dingbian did take the initiative to attack Tianchengzong, but it is a little suspicious, except for the first time they attacked a few incense halls of Tianchengzong, the next two big actions, it seems that both sides have no losses, I think there may be a problem here, Zhang Dingbian is probably scheming, he is also leaving a way for himself to retreat." Either the two sides secretly reached a tacit understanding and deliberately played it for us to see. ”

"And what do you think should be done?" Tianyi Daoist people still meditate with their eyes closed.

Han Shide shook his head: "Zhang Dingbian has already made it clear that the eyeliner we sent to the undercover agent has been eliminated by him, and it is difficult for us to grasp their internal situation now, the disciple is incompetent, and he hasn't thought of a good way." ”

Tianyi Daoren snorted: "There is no way on Zhang Dingbian's side, so you won't think of other ways?" ”

Han Shi was puzzled: "Other ways? Please let the Heavenly Master make it clear. ”

Tianyi Daoist glanced at his mouth disdainfully, then opened his eyes and said: "The new sect master of Tiancheng Sect is called Yao Guangxiao to the outside world, in fact, his real name is Yao Guangqi, this person has good martial arts, he is the person of Yan Wang Zhu Di, do you know this?" In addition, there is a woman next to the kid, it is said to be his fiancée, but this woman is actually the only daughter of the former political envoy Li Yu of Beiping, Li Yu committed a crime in Beiping, and was killed by Lei Xianzong. ”

Han Shide suddenly realized: "You mean, make a fuss about this woman?" ”

Tianyi Daoist stood up, pushed open the door of the secret room, and a ray of sunlight came in: "Yes, let everyone think that Lei Xianzong did it, and after doing it, let Zhang Dingbian know it quietly, so that he can think more in his heart." He will understand, the current Tianchengzong will only be inseparable from him, there is no possibility of reconciliation, the kid surnamed Yao is not only the think tank of King Yan, but also a young lover, for the sake of his beloved girl, he will not give up with him Leixianzong, he Zhang Dingbian must have one heart with us, he must do Tianchengzong, he can have a good life. ”

Han Shi couldn't help nodding: "It's still the Heavenly Master, the disciple will do it." ”

Tianyi Daoist stopped Han Shide: "Slow, you have to take it step by step, you might as well give that little girl some reprieve medicine first, the wind can't be too strong when the fire is just lit, and with the foreshadowing, the rest of the things will be easy to do." ”

"Disciple understands." Han Shi turned around and left with a smile.

At dusk, Li Rou walked alone outside the Puming Temple, in the Puming Temple, Yao Guangqi was discussing with a group of hall masters about this year's tap ratio, Yao Guangqi resolutely advocated reducing the share of Tiancheng Sect, but the hall master believed that once it was reduced, it would be difficult to add it in the future, so most people opposed the reduction of the tap ratio, and discussed it from morning to evening, but there was no result, Li Rou was tired of listening to these people arguing and arguing, so he walked out of the temple alone to relax. As the sun sets, the bells are far away, the greenery is luxuriant, and a peaceful and peaceful scenery, Li Rou can't help but think of her father Li Yu and the good times she once had.
