13. Martial arts invitation--add more for the brothers who may lose their gods [24/25]
Wulong Villa is outside Jinling City, above Zhongshan Mountain.
This villa is the private property of the Ren family in Nantong, the owner of the Ren Hao League is wealthy, and it is a martial arts family, although he was born in Nantong, but he spent his youth in Wulong Villa.
The villa covers a large area, which is far beyond the scale of the villa, and it is a small sect.
Generally, people in the rivers and lakes say that the five sects of the righteous path are also counted in the Wulong Villa, which is counted together with the Ningbo Guizang Villa, representing the two most famous martial arts families in the rivers and lakes.
The biggest intersection between the Ren family and the Lu family is that more than ten years ago, Ren Hao had a fight with Lu Guizang's father, Lu Wenfu, the leader of the contemporary martial arts alliance, on the coast of the East China Sea.
From him, he got the name of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
It's just that the result of that battle was not too good.
The two fought for too long, and they couldn't stay strong in their all-out attack, which eventually led to Lu Wenfu's exhaustion and death.
Therefore, the relationship between the "Five Dragons Returning to Tibet", one of the five major sects of the righteous path, is actually not good, and Lu Guizang has also made an oath since he entered the rivers and lakes.
To take the name of the leader of the martial arts alliance from Ren Hao, and then take it back to the Lu family.
Many people speculate that at the next martial arts conference, Lu Guizang will officially challenge Ren Hao.
But Ren Hao himself didn't care.
With his temperament, he estimated that he would like Lu Guizang to break through the heavenly list in the next five years and make the decent more powerful.
After the Luoyang War, Ren Hao left Luoyang, went around in the land of Xiaoxiang, and returned to Wulong Villa.
Especially the situation in Guanzhong made Ren Hao more concerned.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about whether to go to Guanzhong to support the battle situation of the Tiance Army.
As a result, before a result could be thought of, there was a distinguished guest who came to visit Wulong Villa, and the most powerful thing was that the guest also carried the edict of Zhao Ming, the lord of the Southern Dynasty.
"Ren Daxia, the old man and you, the last time we met, were we in Nantong, right?"
Weihou Zhao Lian, who came to visit Ren Hao, did not wear armor, but dressed like an ordinary old man, wearing a cyan rich shirt, and holding two small iron balls in his hands, spinning around.
In the hall of Wulong Villa, Ren Hao greeted here, and there were several servants standing in the hall, and several maids were pouring tea for Weihou to clean their hands and wash away the dust.
In the face of Weihou's inquiry, Ren Hao nodded, and he said:
"In the fourth year of Zhengding, Weihou won the victory in Qilu, and when he returned to Lin'an, he visited my family's ancestral home, and I met Weihou at that time, which was more than 20 years ago."
"The old man asserted at that time that Ren Daxia is definitely not a thing in the pool, and it seems that the old man is quite accurate in seeing people."
Zhao Lian leaned on the rattan chair, and he said to Ren Hao in a gentle tone:
"Nowadays, Ren Daxia's prestige has spread all over the north and south, the old man is in Qilu, and he has heard a lot about Ren Daxia's tiger might, especially in Suzhou and Luoyang, not only beating the demon sect demons, but also retreating from the Northern Dynasty Bingfeng, which is really emotional."
Ren Hao smiled politely and decently, talking to Wei Hou.
From time to time, his gaze swept over the jade scroll edict in the center of the table.
He could probably guess why this Southern Dynasty Marquis came here today.
After the two of them gossiped for a while, the small iron ball in Wei Hou's hand also stopped, he looked at Ren Hao, his face became solemn, and he said:
After the Luoyang War, the thieves of the Northern Dynasty took advantage of the loopholes, entered our Central Plains, and stirred up the wind and rain in Huainan, once they crossed the Yangtze River, the country was in danger.
Ren Daxia, who was also a Tiance soldier, has the heart of protecting Xinjiang and defending the country, so naturally there is no need to say much.
The old man will not hide it from you, the king of Huainan has made arrangements to set up an ambush in the Yangtze River, lure the northern army to go deeper, and then engulf the forward army with the momentum of encirclement.
But this battle is dangerous, the old man, he wants to borrow the help of people in the martial arts! ”
He stretched out his hand and pushed the jade scroll edict on the table to Ren Hao, and he said:
"The old man is from the army, so he doesn't talk about those vain things, the people in the rivers and lakes go to the rivers and lakes for fame and fortune, and the old man gives them fame and fortune!
The edict of the lord of the country has been issued, the national seal has been stamped, and the righteous men of the world have been recruited to join the northern and southern war arrays.
People from the rivers and lakes, this time to help my country, when the heroes and righteous people are waiting to compete with the demon sect and demons, our military horses will naturally try their best to help! ”
Ren Hao looked at the jade shaft edict in front of him, and he picked it up casually, without the slightest respect, just like an ordinary thing.
This action is a bit of a contempt for the king's power.
But Weihou's face remained unchanged, just as if he hadn't seen it.
The leader of the alliance picked up the edict, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
Since it was written for the people of the rivers and lakes, naturally it didn't use the high-sounding four-body six-pun, so he almost spoke in the vernacular.
The sincerity is also quite sufficient, and the pension money is given.
is also rewarded according to military merits, if you are willing to take refuge, you will be given an official body under the command of Hu Benwei.
Zhao Lian is right, for those who go to the rivers and lakes for fame and fortune, this is indeed a good way to advance.
"But if this national seal is the national seal of Da Chu, then it will be really perfect."
Ren Hao sighed secretly in his heart.
He put the jade scroll edict on the table, arched his hand to Zhao Lian, and said:
"The court is very loving, I thank you in advance for my colleagues in the rivers and lakes, the Northern Kou invaded my territory and harmed my people, Weihou wants to fight with them, and the hot-blooded righteous people naturally do their best to help, but there is something unclear below.
The imperial court recruits people from the rivers and lakes, and there is the righteousness of the country, so you can do your own thing, why does Weihou have to come to see Ren? ”
"Ren Daxia's words are boring."
Weihou touched his beard, turned the iron ball in his hand, and said to Ren Hao:
"You wait for the news that the people in the rivers and lakes know, and the old man naturally knows that since a few years ago, the Northern Dynasty has been fighting with the Jianghu Demon Sect, and the battle of Luoyang is even more blatant to help the Northern Army.
The general trend of the world, one south and one north, the rivers and lakes, are also one good and one evil.
Since the Demon Sect and the demons are helping the Northern Dynasty, it is right that the heroes and decent people are in harmony with my southern country!
The old man knew that the people in the rivers and lakes paid attention to their faces, so on behalf of our dynasty, he sent this edict and invited decent people to carry the demon sect together.
But the old man also knows that the rivers and lakes and the court are two places and two ways to do things.
This recruitment edict, if it is not endorsed by Ren Daxia, I can only recruit some brave people, but it is rare to be really good.
Ren Daxia is a decent leader, and he responds to every call in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally wants to ask Ren Daxia for assistance in this matter, and I hope to think more. ”
Wei Hou's words are quite clear.
Now the Demon Sect and the Northern Dynasties are in unison, using the power of the military state to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. In the battle between good and evil, the small advantage that decency had before no longer exists.
With the current situation, if the decent wants to continue to fight with the Demon Sect, if they want to continue to maintain the suppression of the Demon Sect, and cooperate with the Southern Dynasty, it is the best way.
The two sides had little intersection before, and they were still hostile to each other.
But now there is a basis for cooperation and a common goal.
Ren Hao can naturally think of this idea, but compared to the deep relationship between the Demon Sect and the Northern Dynasty, which was matched and connected by Zhang Moxie, the right path of the rivers and lakes does not have that natural closeness with the Southern Dynasty.
"Weihou knows that if Ren uses a seal on this edict today, he will have people in the rivers and lakes in the future, calling Ren an eagle dog of the court, saying that Ren is not worthy of being a hero in the rivers and lakes."
Ren Hao did not hide it, and pushed the edict back very calmly, and said to Weihou:
"Most of the people in the martial arts are straight, and they can't rub sand in their eyes.
Wei Hou also said, this is a matter of the battle between good and evil, once there is friction within my decent group, some gossip hurts people's hearts, let alone fight with the demon sect again, I am afraid that the decent will be split internally.
This edict cannot be accepted by Ren.
Weihou still don't be embarrassed for me. ”
The alliance leader directly refused, but Wei Hou still had a smile on his face, as if this reply had been expected.
He leaned back in his chair and said:
"Back then, the lord of the country recruited Ren Daxia to be the national teacher of the country, and Ren Daxia also directly refused, which shows that you are a strong and upright person, and you also have your own martial arts.
Well, the old man is not difficult for you.
It's just that the military horses of the Northern Dynasty are coming with great momentum, and there are demon sect masters accompanying them.
Our army is not afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty, nor is it afraid of fighting, but this master's assassination is difficult to guard against, you are also from the army, naturally know that above this army formation, if there is no command at all levels, even if the soldiers work together and want to win, it is also very difficult.
In order not to repeat the events of Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, the old man asked Ren Daxia to invite decent masters to come to Jinling to help fight and protect the safety of our generals in the name of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
One should be spending, rewarding, rewarding, through our expenditure. It's always okay, right? ”
Weihou took a step back.
Ren Hao glanced at the jade scroll edict on the table again, and he knew it.
This old fox probably didn't have the intention of Ren Hao to take over this edict from the beginning, and put forward the previous request, just to show generosity and change it to a less "excessive" request.
This old man is the general of the Southern Dynasty, and he has put his position so low, and when he talks about it, he has already given Ren Hao enough face.
The Alliance Leader closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
He said to Weihou:
"I will send invitations to various factions in the rivers and lakes, but this passage of the rivers and lakes, acting freely, how many can come, I can't give Weihou a ticket.
However, since Weihou said that the final decisive battle place is along the Yangtze River not far from Jinling...
At that time, Ren will go to help the southern army and help him. ”
"Good! The leader of the alliance is righteous! ”
Zhao Lian stood up, arched his hand towards Ren Hao, leaned over, and said:
"The old man also heard about Luoyang, and he was happy to cast a demon spell and break the city wall of Luoyang, just like he broke the city wall of Badu. The demon of the Northern Dynasty had to be guarded, and the old man had invited my national teacher, the Yuanwu Zen Master of Nirvana Temple to come to the battle array.
If the alliance leader can join forces with Zen Master Yuanwu and kill the happy demon on the Yangtze River, then this battle has become six points! ”
"Zen Master Yuanwu is also coming?"
Ren Hao's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of essence, he put his hands behind his back, thought for a few breaths, then nodded to Wei Hou, and said:
"With the help of Zen Master Yuanwu and the treasure soldier Qiulong, and then invite one or two friends, I am indeed sure that I can kill Xing Xing."
"Really?"
Wei Hou smiled softly, he put away the jade scroll edict on the table, and said to Ren Hao:
"This time, the people of the rivers and lakes joined forces with our southern army to break through the Northern Dynasty Soldier Peak, and then severely defeat the demon cult demons who were in line with them, which is beneficial to both sides.
I have expressed my sincerity, and I hope that Ren Daxia will think about it.
Finally, there's one more thing. ”
Weihou looked left and right, lowered his business, and said to Ren Hao:
"If one or two less masters of the rivers and lakes don't come, it doesn't matter, the victory or defeat of the Yu army is not hindered, but the hundred birds and the phoenix spear and the river Luo hero Shen Qiu, you must come over!
If he can come to Jinling, he will be the anchor of our army!
With that soldier's blade here, no matter what happens, our army will never be defeated. ”
"This..."
Ren Hao glanced at Weihou Zhao Lian.
He felt that Zhao Lian's proposal was a little ill-intentioned, if Shen Qiu really came to Jinling with a hundred birds and phoenix spears, he might fall into the hub of the Southern Dynasty.
"The alliance leader is worried, we are waiting for a hundred birds to move towards the phoenix spear?"
Zhao Lian shook his head, and he explained:
"The old man is not an uninformed person, he knows that the treasure blade of the rivers and lakes is a psychic thing, if there is no master of the treasure soldier, what can we do even if we have the treasure blade?
Besides, under the nose of Ren Hao of your Tianbang, what tricks can I play?
It's nothing more than Xu Yi's high-ranking officials, that Heluo hero participated in the affairs of Luoyang, and he also has a grudge against the Northern Dynasty, if you invite him, he won't not come.
The old man made a promise here, if Shen Qiu was not moved by the solicitation we waited, then after receiving the danger of Huainan, we would never force him to stay.
If the alliance leader is willing to help, the information of the Demon Cult that is planted in the northern country in the southern country will also be shared with the Five Dragons Villa.
You are a decent person, and the wanted notices you have committed in the southern border in the past few years have also been written off.
Is that good? ”
Ren Haomo rubbed the jade wrench on his finger, and after a few breaths, he nodded and said:
"I wrote a letter to Shen Qiu, but, his decision, I will not interfere."
"Good!"
Weihou was finally satisfied.
He took a step back, bowed to Ren Hao, and said:
"That old man thanked the alliance leader for the tens of millions of people in the southern country."
Ren Hao sent Wei Hou out of Wulong Villa, and watched Wei Hou leave the villa under the protection of heavy soldiers, he stood at the entrance of Wulong Villa and looked back at the plaque on the door.
There are four big characters in the book, the leader of martial arts.
Ren Hao moved his fingers, his heart was full of thoughts.
It's a deal, and it can also be called a collaboration.
If you can really retreat the army of the Northern Dynasties, and you can also defeat the forces of the Demon Sect, then it is indeed a matter of mutual benefit.
But Shen Qiu will indeed be put at risk.
Thinking about it, Ren Hao tried to think of a strategy for both, but this wanted, that also wanted, how could there be so many boths in the world.
"Prepare pen and ink, and then prepare fast horses."
In the autumn wind of Jinling, the leader of the alliance walked to the villa where the leaves were flying, and said to his close servants:
"Three letters, sent to the top of Mount Tai Jade Emperor, Sichuan Shu Mo City, Miao Jiang Phoenix City, and then write the main order of the alliance, borrow the southern post road, and send it to where the big and small sects.
In the end, let the virtual name go to Luoyang in person, take me with a handwritten book, and give it to Shen Qiu, the hero of Heluo. ”
Not long after, more than a dozen fast horses, in the autumn wind rolled up the leaves of the mountain road, from the Wulong Villa to the bottom of Zhongshan Mountain, those wearing green clothes, the sleeves of the dragon-shaped emblem of the servants, with the letter of the alliance leader, went in all directions.
Since the tenth year of Zhengding, after the Luoyang War between good and evil, this is Ren Hao's alliance commander, and it is the second time it has appeared in the rivers and lakes.
Just like the last time he ordered the heroes to force out the Demon Sect leader, this time, there will also be storms on the rivers and lakes.
The world is in turmoil, and the north and the south are chasing each other.
The wolf rushes to the que, and great changes are coming.
