"Enlightened Hall Master, recently our sect has developed rapidly, only in dozens of states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, tens of thousands of people have joined our sect, and nearly eighty percent of them are usable strong men, in the long run, the re-growth of our holy sect will be just around the corner.

Just when all the victims outside the city were attracted by the hot porridge, no one noticed that not far from them, they were listening to a gorgeous carriage, and on top of the carriage, someone was lifting the curtain and looking at them seriously.
"Yes, it has been hard work for you recently, but you must know that all your efforts are worth it, as long as my Holy Sect develops and grows, when I spread my wings and fly high in the future, this hall master will not forget your merits." Lowering the curtain, Ding Mian said proudly.
"From the moment I entered the Holy Sect, everything I waited for was the stuff of the Holy Sect, not to mention this hard work, just for the sake of the Holy Sect to die immediately, and the disciples were also willing to eat." The man who had been kneeling in the carriage said with excitement on his face.
"Okay, good, that's it, remember, during this time, we must not only increase our efforts to recruit disciples, but also strictly manage which new disciples will join, send special personnel, and let them speed up their training, only in this way can they be of great use when the Holy Sect needs them." Ding Mian said.
"The disciple understands that the disciple has already bribed some veterans in the army at a high price according to the instructions of the hall master, and let them train those disciples in the way of training elite soldiers, but it is just ........"
"It's just anything, if there are any difficulties, just say, no matter what the method, I will try my best to solve it." Ding Mian asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that the drill can't be empty-handed, and the most we lack at the moment are swords, guns, and weapons, I don't know ......," said the kneeling man.
"This ......."
Hearing that man's words, Ding Mian also had a headache, other things are easy to say, whether it is food or clothing, as long as there is money, you can buy it, and for money, the Heavenly Daoist Sect has never lacked it, but for these swords, guns and weapons, it is a little difficult to solve.
Although the Tang Dynasty is not as harsh as the Qin Dynasty, it is only for some light weapons, waist knives, long swords, these self-defense weapons, for spears and horses, these long weapons, but the management is quite strict, not to mention the ordinary people, just like Cheng Yanjin, a court member and a general, was also reprimanded by Li Shimin because of some weapons hidden at home.
If the Heavenly Dao Sect is about to rebel, it is nothing to wantonly build spears and other weapons, but the current situation is that they simply do not have enough strength to rebel, and if the large-scale construction of spears and other weapons is discovered, it will be a monstrous disaster.
"Let's talk about this matter later, we will find a way, you must pay close attention to other things, especially in the development of disciples in various places, you must not slack off." Ding Mian said.

Hangzhou City, the residence of Changshi
In the study, there was a book spread out on the desk in front of Su Mo, but half a day passed, but he didn't take a look, his eyes kept staring at the white jade paperweight in front of him, frowning and thinking about something.
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a knock on the door, which woke Su Mo up.
"Who, didn't I tell you that if you don't have so-and-so's orders, don't come and disturb so-and-so, why are you disobedient?" Su Mo, who was awakened, said with anger on his face.
"Grandpa, it's me, I'm here to bring you pastries." Unexpectedly, it was not the voice of the subordinate who came from outside the house, but the voice of Su Mo's only daughter, Su Qiao'er.
Hearing that it was his daughter's voice, the anger on Su Mo's face slowly dissipated, and he hurriedly sorted it out, and after hiding the sadness on his face, he said lightly, "It turned out to be Qiao'er, come in quickly." ”
"Squeak"
The door of the study was pushed open, and I saw Su Qiao'er walking in leisurely with a tray.
Placing the tray in his hand on the table in front of Su Mo, Su Mo saw that there were two plates of dim sum on it, a plate of red bean cake and a plate of crispy corner cakes, all of which were Su Mo's favorite pastries.
"Grandpa, listen to Su Fen, you have been hiding in the study these days to do business, and you don't even eat well, how can this work, you are Qiao'er's only relative in this world, if you have any three long and two short, what can Qiao'er do, you hurry up and eat some snacks, this is all Qiao'er specially made for you." Su Qiao'er closed the book spread out in front of Su Mo, and said with a complaining tone.
Su Mo may not care about being treated, but for his only baby daughter, Su Mo is obedient, hearing his daughter's complaints, Su Mo can only say with a wry smile, "Okay, grandpa, grandpa is not busy, grandpa is not busy, let's try the good daughter to make pastries for grandpa." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, grabbed two pieces of pastry from the plate, and stuffed them into his mouth like swallowing dates, and for a while, he saw Su Mo's mouth grunting, and his beard was also stained with the residue of snacks, which made Su Qiao'er, who was originally a little annoyed, burst into tears and laughed instantly.
Although she knew that Su Mo was deliberately amusing herself, Su Qiao'er was still quite happy, and while holding a handkerchief to him and inserting the residue on his mouth, she complained and said, "Grandpa is really, he is busy all day long, I'm afraid that even the history of the assassin is not as busy as you, you see that the long history of other state cities is idle all day long, and you are the only one who is busy all day long." ”
Although the dim sum was delicious, it was too dry after all, and Su Mo was a little impatient when he ate it, so he choked in his throat for a while, and it took him a long time to reluctantly swallow them, and he said, "Hey, good daughter, you don't understand, Xiao Yuanjun is not busy because he has nothing to be busy with, but Grandpa has to be busy here, otherwise, it will not involve the lives of one or two people, but the lives and deaths of thousands of people, hey." ”
From Su Mo's two sighs in succession, you can know the helplessness in Su Mo's heart at this time.
"You ......."
Looking at Su Mo's helpless appearance and sad expression, Su Qiao'er didn't know what she thought of, and wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth a few times, but she couldn't say it.
"Grandpa is worrying about the Heavenly Dao Sect?"
After hesitating for a long time, Su Qiaoer finally mustered up the courage to say it.
"Smack"
Hearing Su Qiao'er's words, Su Mo, who wanted to stuff the pastry in his mouth just now, was stunned by the way, and the pastry in his hand also subconsciously hung on the desk.
"You....... You..... What are you talking about, Grandpa is an official of the imperial court, and he is busy with the affairs of the imperial court, how can he worry about the Heavenly Taoism, good daughter, don't talk nonsense. Su Mo may have been too frightened, and he was usually quite steady, but he also stammered a little at this time.
Looking at Su Mo's extremely abnormal appearance, Su Qiao'er couldn't help but shout anymore, "Grandpa, why are you still unwilling to tell me the truth, don't forget, I am your only relative in this world, if you even deceive me, what do you let the child think, and you know how uncomfortable the child is." ”
"You...... This..... Hey, now that you know it, Grandpa will no longer deny it, tell me, how did you know Grandpa's identity, who told you, Su Fen, or someone else. Looking at Su Qiao'er's painful expression, Su Mo couldn't bear to deceive her anymore, so he could only nod and admit it.
Su Qiao'er shook her head and said, "No, it was only when my daughter overheard you and Su Fen talking last time that I found out about this matter, for this period of time, the child had trouble sleeping for this matter, for fear that your identity would be exposed and punished by the imperial court. ”
"Providence is like this, it is really not something that human beings can resist." Hearing Su Qiao'er's words, Su Mo raised his head and sighed.
After sighing, Su Mo got up and took Su Qiao'er to the front of a bookshelf in the study, and after seeing him remove a heavy book on the shelf, Su Qiao'er was very surprised by the scene in front of her.
I saw that the bookshelves, which were originally only pasted together, suddenly separated from the middle to the two sides, revealing a gauze portrait behind it.
Looking at the portrait covered with gauze in front of him, Su Mo seemed to have seen the most precious thing in the world, and even Su Qiao'er couldn't take care of it, so he walked straight to the portrait, raised his hand and gently stroked the gauze, as if he was stroking his closest beloved, it was so gentle, so gentle, half a day later, Su Mo gently grabbed the corner of the gauze and removed the gauze whole.
When the gauze was uncovered, Su Qiaoer saw clearly that what her father solemnly stored in such an ingenious place was not a valuable painting, but a very ordinary painting, a simple character painting.
It was simply sketched with light ink, but it was these few strokes that formed the shape of a very heroic chivalrous woman, this chivalrous woman held a sword in her hand, followed by a tall horse, the kind of woman did not let the pride of the eyebrows in the painting show vividly, people will be unforgettable after seeing it.
"Gillian, I came to see you again, I haven't seen you for so long, do you feel lonely, don't be afraid, this time I didn't come to see you alone, I also brought our daughter, so many years, you still see her for the first time, I haven't seen her for more than ten years, I'm afraid you can't imagine it, originally a child who was waiting to be fed, actually looked so pretty, although I promised you at the beginning, I will never tell her about us, but now everything is providence, in this case, I can only regret it, I hope you will forgive me for all this. ”
After the gauze was removed, Su Mo's eyes could no longer accommodate anything else, all his spirit was attracted by that painting, and he also said some words that Su Qiao'er couldn't understand.
Although Su Qiaoer didn't understand the meaning of Su Mo's words, she still understood, the heroic chivalrous woman in these words was actually her mother who she had never seen since she was a child, for a while, from childhood to adulthood, more than ten years of missing her mother, so that she was also like Su Mo, only the painting in her eyes, her eyes stared at the woman's appearance in the words without blinking, hoping to be able to engrave this woman's appearance deeply in her heart, and she would never forget it.
After a long time, the father and daughter slowly came back to their senses.
"Qiao'er, you should understand by now, this is your mother, who was conceived in October and gave birth to your biological mother." Su Mo said.
"It turns out that this is my Auntie, I didn't expect my Auntie to be a chivalrous girl, it's really surprising, but, Grandpa, since you have a portrait of Auntie, why do you put her here, and why did you never tell me about Auntie before, could it be that there is something hidden in it." Although Su Qiao'er's heart was full of surprise and doubts, her mind was still extremely sensitive, and after a little thought, she figured out the key to this.
"Hahahaha, good daughter, don't worry, since Grandpa showed you the portrait of your aunt today, he will tell you everything." Hearing Su Qiao'er's question, Su Mo said with a smile.
The story is very simple and old-fashioned, nothing more than a poor man accidentally saved a beautiful chivalrous girl, during the recuperation period, the poor man and the beautiful chivalrous girl had feelings, in order to repay the poor man's life-saving grace, the beautiful chivalrous girl married the poor man.
At the beginning, the two lived very happily, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, one day a group of strange people found them, and at this time, the poor man knew the true identity of the beautiful chivalrous girl, that is, his wife, the holy lord of the Tiandao Sect, although the Tiandao Sect at that time was not as huge as it is now, but in the entire land south of the Yangtze River, there were more than 100,000 disciples, although the identity of the chivalrous girl could not be on the stage, but it was not the poor man who was poor and white at that time could climb high.
Fortunately, although many people in the Heavenly Dao Sect were opposed at that time, they still recognized the identity of the poor scholar under the threat of the death of the beautiful chivalrous woman.
Then, like a dream, the poor man lived in a splendid house, with many servants waiting, and there were gorgeous carriages and guards in and out, but as time passed, the poor man became more and more difficult, because he found that his wife was getting busier and busier, and the pressure was increasing, and many times, it took a long time for them to be able to see each other, and every time they met, the wife often couldn't say much, and would fall asleep tired.
At this time, he has understood the ins and outs of Tiandaoism, and also understands how great the pressure on his wife is, he wants to help his wife, and share enough pressure for his wife, but unfortunately, he is just a poor man who has no power, he wants to have no background, he wants to be powerful and powerless, and he doesn't know where to help his wife.
Finally, the poor man found the only way to help his wife.
