Eighty-Nine: Providence is irreversible
Song Yuanqiao is not a qualified leader.
He knew this in his own heart.
It can be compared to handing over the position of the head of Wudang to an outsider like Feng Xifan.
Song Yuanqiao hoped that the head of Wudang would appear among the third-generation disciples he had cultivated.
This is the consensus of many people in Wudang.
The grandmasters who joined later, with the acquiescence of Zhang Sanfeng, also acquiesced to this inheritance.
They know that with Zhang Sanfeng here, the head of Wudang will not fall into their hands.
Even if there is no Song Yuanqiao, there will be Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, and Mo Shenggu in turn.
But this time, they couldn't take it anymore!
Song Yuanqiao disappointed them too much.
For many years, with Zhang Sanfeng, the great god, as his backer, he did not work hard to develop the Wudang faction.
Instead, choose to go with the flow.
Nothing.
No ambitions!
A head who has no ambition is incompetent for them.
Fortunately, in addition to the fact that he has no ambition, Song Yuanqiao is fair in dealing with sectarian affairs.
Not only did he not discriminate against them, but he also gave them some help from time to time.
Even, in the selection of the heirs of the three generations of Wudang, Song Yuanqiao chose to support Zhuo Yihang by selecting the best.
And not his own son Song Qingshu!
Very self-aware!
As Zhuo Yihang grew up, Song Yuanqiao also began to hand over some things in Wudang.
Precisely because of this.
Only these grandmasters who joined later could selectively tolerate Song Yuanqiao, a mediocre person, and stay above their heads to give orders.
Grandmasters have a long lifespan.
It was enough for them to wait for Song Yuanqiao to take the initiative to resign from the position of head of Wudang and promote Zhuo Yihang to the position.
Compared with Song Yuanqiao's mediocrity, Zhuo Yihang, who grew up under their noses since childhood, is undoubtedly a very suitable replacement.
Intelligent, kind, ambitious, and gifted in martial arts.
Be humble internally and compete externally.
There is such a successor, who is recognized by the public and the future three generations of Wudang leaders who are also recognized by them.
Feng Xifan and others were very relieved.
is also willing to wait for Zhuo Yihang to continue to grow.
Even if Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, Mo Shenggu and others wanted to support Song Qingshu on the throne, they didn't care.
After all, the gap between the two is immediately recognizable.
With their support and Song Yuanqiao's approval.
Zhuo Yihang becoming the successor is already a foregone conclusion.
But all of this was ruined by this Northern Expedition......
Zhuo Yihang was arrested and taken to Chang'an!!
This blow was like a bolt from the blue for their group!
However, after getting the news, Song Yuanqiao did nothing.
It was Song Yuanqiao's attitude that caused a wave of resentment in the hearts of these late joiners, and finally provoked the matter of Wudang summoning his disciples to return to the mountain!
Why?
Because of the absence of Zhuo Yihang, who will sit in the next head of Wudang?
Over the years, most of us have put expectations on Zhuo Yihang.
And you lost it?
Don't want to save people yet?
Is it possible, do you want us to re-cultivate, and put up with you for another twenty years?
No way!
A decade is already the bottom line for them to endure.
It is absolutely impossible for them to let Song Yuanqiao continue to squander his twenty-year-old lifespan!
Or, Song Yuanqiao rescued Zhuo Yihang, and everyone was happy.
Or, they will remove Song Yuanqiao from the position of head of Wudang, and then elect a person who everyone can tolerate and become the head of Wudang!
This candidate can be an Iron Sword Daoist, Feng Xifan, Zhang Songxi, or even Lan Li.....
That's right.
In their hearts, Lan Li is also one of the candidates for the head of Wudang.
Although the ranking is very low.
Even after the pine.
Mainly because of Lan Li's laziness and failure to show his self-motivation and overall view.
But Lan Li also has strengths!
Lan Li has a Lan family in his hands, and the Lan family is rich and has mines, and it also monopolizes the military supplies of the Great Song Sancheng!
If Lan Li becomes the head of Wudang.
The benefits brought by all this can naturally offset everyone's dissatisfaction to a certain extent.
What's more, Lan Li's martial arts talent is good enough!
As the head of Wudang, how can you do it without strong strength?
Besides.
If Lan Li becomes the head of Wudang, then when they merge Wudang resources in the future.
The handling of the Lan family also seems natural.
will not provoke a future powerhouse like Lan Li, and resentment will arise in his heart.
You are all in charge, everyone is interested in integrating resources, are you embarrassed not to lead by example?
These are the advantages of Lan Li in their eyes.
If it is someone else, it will be a little difficult for Lan Li to settle in this regard.
But the integration of resources by Wudangmen people must be carried out.
This is a sect that crosses a realm, and the foundation is needed.
This is the consensus of everyone.
Lan Li is not alone.
After the appearance of the third generation of Wudang masters, the families of all the grandmasters and masters under Wudang Mountain will be confiscated together.
This is something that everyone has long acquiesced to.
There isn't much selfishness in it.
Some just hope that a strong sect will appear, a sect that can give them a sense of belonging.
It's imperative!
Ignore all resistance!
This is the collective will of the ninety percent grandmasters on Wudang Mountain!
Even Zhang Sanfeng will not veto!!
......
......
A morning passed.
Lan Li had lunch, and it was drizzling again in the sky.
Sit on the steps of your own courtyard.
Through the eaves.
Lan Li looked at the thunder snakes rolling in the sky from time to time, and felt a little helpless in his heart:
"Let's hope it's the last rain before winter...."
Lan Li doesn't like rainy days.
Especially along the Yangtze River.
As soon as it rains, you can always hear some bad news.
For example, a flood in one place, a levee burst due to heavy rain in one place, and a fertile field in a certain place was flooded by a river.
Even, the former Yunmengze, now in Dongting Lake.
From time to time, there were several terrifying noises.
All in all, being along the Yangtze River and having too much rain is really not a good thing.
Looking at the raindrops dripping from the eaves, Lan Li was stunned.
In front of the gate of the Blue Mansion, Zuo Zhong's stumbling figure broke in.
"Childe! Childe is there, and his subordinates have urgent matters to report!! ”
Zuo Zhong's roar in his throat, across several courtyard walls, Lan Li heard it clearly.
Frowning slightly, Lan Li nodded at the green clothes beside him.
"Green clothes, go and welcome your big brother Zuo in."
The green clothes owe the body.
It didn't take long for her to come back with a muddy Zuo Zhong.
"My subordinates have seen Childe."
"Hmm.... What's going on with you? ”
Looking at Zuo Zhong's embarrassed appearance, Lan Li frowned slightly and said:
"Didn't you go to Dongting Mountain Villa to train the family, why did you make this look?"
Dongting Villa.
It's the Lan family's enclave manor.
It is located on one side of Dongting Lake and faces water on three sides.
Although the area is a little smaller, it is undoubtedly a good place for birds and flowers.
Hearing this, Zuo Zhong pulled his clothes.
Then he laughed and said:
"Childe, don't laugh at me, isn't this a hurry?"
"Well, is there something going on over there in Dongting?"
"No, it's all good over there in Dongting, Zheng Xiaojiu was also kicked to the East China Sea by me, and you went to collect taxes for Gongzi..."
"And what are you?"
"Hey, hey, Childe, it's really big this time..."
"Don't sell it."
"The Mongols went south...."
"Huh? The Mongols went south? ”
Suddenly, hearing the news of the Mongols from Zuo Zhong's mouth, Lan Li couldn't help but be stunned.
What's the situation?
Even if the Mongols wanted to go south, wouldn't there still be half of the Jin Kingdom in between?
Besides, he didn't receive any news, where did Zuo Zhong, who had just returned from Dongting Lake, get the news?
"Hui Gongzi, these barbarians have gone south."
As he spoke, Zuo Zhong straightened his hat, and said with a smile:
"Eighteen thousand horsemen, who came down from Zhenglingkou, the Jin people helped block the news, and it is estimated that our military report will be received in two days."
"Uh.... Which road did they take in Luoyang? ”
"Yes, people went straight to this king of Zhennan!"
As he spoke, Zuo Zhong licked his lips.
Then let out a sinister laugh:
"There are already people in the Jin Kingdom who are dissatisfied with this king of Zhennan, plus Yue Shuai is still preparing for the second Northern Expedition.
Jin Guo who is hit in the abdomen and back at the moment.
As a last resort, the Mongols could only be released to relieve the pressure. ”
"Wan Yankang was abandoned by the Jin Kingdom?"
"Probably yes."
"Hey, I'm still waiting for this king of Zhennan to go to Shengjing to win the heir, it seems that he has no hope."
said it jokingly, Lan Li's heart did not fluctuate.
The Mongols had long been preparing for a southward journey.
stirred up the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes before, and took the lead in destroying the Ming Sect.
Isn't it just to clear the way before going south?
Now that the Jin State is willing to cede an enclave to them, Mongolia, which has already been prepared, will naturally not let go of the opportunity!
With a pedigree in his heart, after Lan Li smiled, he winked at Zuo Zhong:
"Where did you get this news?"
"Hui Gongzi is a military man named Wu Song, who spread the news."
"Wu Song?"
"Yes! When he came to the door, he said that Gongzi, you have been very kind to your brother, and this reminder is to hope that my Lan family can make more preparations. ”
"Is that so?"
Lan Li nodded thoughtfully.
Wu Song's elder brother is naturally Wu Dalang.
That was two years ago.
If it hadn't been for Zuo Zhong mentioning it, Lan Li would have almost forgotten about him.
Do good people have good rewards?
Such a thought flashed through his heart, and a smile appeared on Lan Li's face.
"I know the matter, Zuo Zhong, you go down to rest first, run all the way in the rain, remember to take a hot bath."
"Hey, hey, it's okay, my body is strong."
"Let's go."
"Whoa!"
Saying this, Zuo Zhong stepped back and called for his subordinates to help boil hot water.
Listen to the shouts outside the courtyard walls.
Lan Li thought about it and unconsciously looked up at the sky.
The drizzle was drizzling.
From time to time, there were a few thunder sounds.
"So, the plot that should be, will it still happen?"
