Section 8 Gather at the General Altar

The next morning, Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu, who didn't dare to sleep all night, went out early, and then came to the gate of the main altar near the west gate of Yuncheng together. At this time, the gate of the mansion, which is the main altar of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, was open, and more than a dozen strong men stood guard at the door, and some people in different clothes entered and exited the mansion from time to time.

Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu glanced at each other, sighed heavily, and then walked into the main altar together.

When the two came to the main hall, they saw Xu Hongru sitting in the center of the hall, and several other people were sitting on the left and right.

Seeing that the two of them arrived together, Xu Hongru smiled kindly and said, "Master Shen and Master Chen, everyone has arrived, just send the two of you, hurry up and get in place." ”

Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu didn't dare to look at Xu Hongru at all, so they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted Xu Hongru, and then found their seats and sat down.

Xu Hongru looked at the people in the hall, and saw that Shen Zhi and Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Cambodia, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, Meng Xianhan and other helmsmen had already arrived, and Chen Canyu had also arrived, so he waved his hand outside, and the guards outside the door came in to close the door, and then guarded the door.

After that, Xu Hongru took out a note from his arms and said to everyone: "This is the flying pigeon biography that the sect leader received yesterday afternoon, which said that Xu and Yu Duo were killed by a group of officials and soldiers in a village in the east of Jinan City, and more than a dozen righteous men of the sect were killed along with them. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was stunned, and then they began to talk about it. Only Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu nodded silently, their faces were very pale, obviously last night's incident hit the two of them a lot.

Shen Zhi even secretly said in his heart: "The sect master's method of controlling people is really outstanding, it seems that I will be careful in the future." ”

At this moment, Xu Hongru said to Shen Zhi: "Lord Shen Helm, don't you want to say something about the murder of Lord Xu Helm?" After all, I sent you to pass on Lord Xu Helm back. ”

Shen Zhi immediately sweated when he heard this, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Sect Master, my subordinates are about to report this matter to the Sect Master. ”

"Let's talk about it, it's better to be specific!"

"Subordinates obey!" Shen Zhi paused, and then told Xu Heyu about Xu Heyu inciting the people to besiege the school field in Dengzhou City, and later sending the Guardian King Kong to kill Ye Buhui, and he said it in great detail. Then, Shen Zhi continued: "Sect Master, my subordinates had already found Master Xu Helm in that village, but at that time, Lord Xu Helm was bent on killing the officials and soldiers, and wanted to use this to make the sect cause trouble. His subordinates tried hard to dissuade him, but to no avail, Master Xu Helm couldn't listen to him at all. Later, the group of officers and soldiers besieging Xu Duo in Dengzhou City suddenly surrounded the village, and his subordinates wanted to break through with Xu Duo, but Xu Duo insisted on staying, trying to rely on the villagers in that village to fight against the officials and soldiers, and his subordinates had no choice but to break through alone. ”

When everyone heard Shen Zhi's words, they were all silent, and they thought to themselves: "It seems that this Shen Zhi has reached the blood mold, I don't know how the sect leader will punish him." The several helmsmen present all nodded, for fear that they would be as unlucky as Shen Zhi.

At this time, Xu Hongru asked with a pale face: "Do you know where the soldiers and horses of that official army are?" ”

Shen Zhi hurriedly said: "Sect Leader Qiyu, my subordinates heard that Lord Xu Duo said that the official army was the Hanwei Battalion that was withdrawn from Liaodong. ”

Xu Hongru was stunned for a while when he heard this, and it didn't take long for him to laugh, and then he laughed louder and louder, and in the end he was already laughing as if he was crazy, so shocked that everyone present shuddered and looked at Xu Hongru with a shocked face.

After laughing for a while, Xu Hongru said word by word: "That's fine, since Master Xu Duo wants to make trouble, then let's follow Lord Xu Helm's last wish!" ”

"Sect Master, no!"

"Sect Master, our sect doesn't have this strength yet!"

"That's right, sect leader, don't be rash!"

As soon as the helmsmen present heard that Xu Hongru wanted to start an incident, they spoke out against it. Only Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end they sat in their seats and did not say anything to dissuade them.

Xu Hongru looked at Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu, and then said to the rest: "Can't make an accident? Then Lord Xu Helm died in vain? My brother died in vain! ”

When everyone heard this, they were speechless, and they couldn't say to the sect leader: "Your brother will die if he dies, don't trouble us again because of the death of Xu Heyu." "Isn't this a blatant search for death?

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Xu Hongru sneered and said, "Do you think I'm dizzy? No! I thought about it all night last night, and I thought it through. You can rest assured, I will not let you die in vain, this time we may be able to break this day, maybe we can achieve a career! ”

After Xu Hongru finished speaking, he looked at the situation in the room, and saw that everyone was sitting on the seats with each other looking at each other, their brows were tightly locked, and they all looked preoccupied.

"Haha, you are all pillars of the sect, is that all you have the guts?" Xu Hongru stood up abruptly and said: "You and I are of one heart and one mind, this matter is done, then we may be able to open a state and achieve a career; If you are defeated, that is, the heavens will destroy my sect, and I will go down to the Netherworld Cave Mansion with you! What is there to fear? ”

At this time, Chen Canyu asked tentatively, "I don't know what the sect leader is going to do?" ”

Xu Hongru smiled when he heard this, and said, "When it comes to big things, it depends on Master Chen!" Good question! Then I'll tell you the strategy I thought out last night, so I can see what you think. ”

At this time, although Shen Zhi and the others were still silent, they were repeatedly entangled, and when they heard that Xu Hongru already had a comprehensive strategy, they all looked over.

Xu Hongru continued: "This incident in my sect started with the extermination of the Hanwei camp. In order to accomplish this, I thought of two strategies: first, I will send a letter to Chen Qianhu, the general of Wenshang, and ask him to find a way to intercept and kill the Hanwei camp halfway, if it succeeds, I will do all the strength of the sect to join Chen Qianhu and start an incident; Second, I will send news to Wang Haoxian and the owner of the cottage from the horse, and let the two of them cooperate with us, so that we can strengthen our strength, and at the same time, we can also find an opportunity to kill Wang Haoxian and unify the sect! If you have any suggestions, please feel free to speak. ”

Chen Canyu thought for a while and said, "Sect Leader Qiyu, is Chen Qianhu in Wenshang County reliable?" After all, Chen Qianhu is an official army, will he let go of the good Qianhu and follow our orders to intercept and kill the Hanwei camp, and follow us to rise up against the imperial court? ”

Xu Hongru looked unfathomable at this time, and said: "That Chen Qianhu is a loyal member of my sect, and he has been providing news to this sect leader in the official mansion before; Moreover, the sect leader also saved his life and was his savior. The most important point is that Chen Qianhu's wife and children are in Yuncheng City at this time, and the sect leader has been taking care of them. Therefore, Chen Qianhu's side is not a problem at all. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they thought, "This sect master's methods are really vicious!" Unexpectedly, an internal line has been arranged in the government a long time ago. ”

At this time, Shen Zhi also remembered something, and asked cautiously: "Sect Master Qiqi, about contacting Wang Haoxian and the master of the cottage of the horse, I don't know how sure the sect leader is?" It's okay to say that he is a pawn of the sect leader, but how could Wang Haoxian obey the sect leader's orders? ”

"Haha, what if I tell Wang Haoxian that after this battle, I will obey him as the leader of the sect, and from then on I will listen to his orders and worship every year?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, this time the sect leader was out of the way! In order to take revenge, he bowed to Wang Haoxian?

Xu Hongru saw everyone's surprised looks, and said with a smile: "I naturally lied to that Wang Haoxian, and I won't tell him about our incident." I just told Wang Haoxian that we heard that Hanwei Camp was escorting a fortune, and we would join him to get this wealth and lure him to Shandong. ”

After Shen Zhi listened, he only felt that Wang Haoxian's time was running out, this Xu Sect Master's scheming was too deep, and it was also very vicious, which made people unguardable, Wang Haoxian was not Xu Hongru's opponent at all.

At this moment, another helmsman, Meng Xianhan, asked, "Sect Master, then do we know the marching route of this official army?" ”

Xu Hongru said: "This is not a problem, the Hanwei camp is said to be going back to Sichuan, from Shandong to Sichuan must cross the Yellow River, and to cross the Yellow River must go to the ferry of Shanxian County." Speaking of this, Xu Hongru asked Shen Zhi, "Lord Shen Helm, do you know where the Hanwei camp is now?" ”

Shen Zhi hurriedly replied: "Sect Leader Qiqi, my subordinates received news on the way back that the Hanwei camp is now in Jinan, and it is said that they have colluded with the Gao family in Jinan. ”

"Oh? And such a good thing? Xu Hongru laughed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "I heard that the Jinan Gao family is a family with a lot of money, and the Hanwei camp found the Jinan Gao family, but it did us a great favor, this time the sect leader uprooted his Gao family together, and the military salary for my sect is ready!" ”

At this time, Chen Canyu thought for a moment and opened his mouth to persuade: "Sect Master, the Gao family is known as a martial heirloom, and most of the heroes and martial artists in Shandong have some friendship with the Gao family. That Gao family is a hard bone, let's deal with the Han Wei camp and deal with the Gao family at the same time, will there be any mistakes? ”

Xu Hongru snorted coldly and said, "It's okay, this sect leader has his own plans!" Since the Hanwei battalion is in Jinan, the road from Jinan to Shanxian is Wenshang, and the other is Chongzhou Mansion, and the guest army needs local grain and grass to cross the city. Send an order to go down, send a letter to Chen Qianhu in Wenshang, find a way to welcome Hanwei Camp to Wenshang, and act with the camera! Do you think this is feasible? ”

Seeing that Xu Hongru had made up his mind, everyone knew that the matter was irreparable, so they gritted their teeth and made up their minds, clasped their fists together and said: "My subordinates are willing to follow the sect leader to live and die together and share weal and woe!" ”
