Tianshan Tong's grandmother looked at the secret letter in her hand, and her face showed a puzzled look.

Since the beginning of the previous year, she and her master Xiaoyaozi have re-established the news channel.

In the past three years, Master has asked her to step up the integration of the forces in the Central Plains.

Although she has secretly integrated and controlled many people in the rivers and lakes of the world, but if she continues to integrate, I am afraid that she will alarm Shaolin and Shenxiao, one Buddha and one major sect in the rivers and lakes.

In this secret letter given to her by the master, she was told to slow down her pace and manage the strongholds of the Xiaoyao Sect all over the world for a few years first, and to pay more attention to the Shenxiao Sect.

Temporarily stop integrating the Central Plains martial arts, which is exactly in line with her wishes.

Shaolin can stand on the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years without falling, and naturally has a deep heritage.

Although Ye Zhenren of the Shenxiao Sect was suppressed after he was born, Tianshan Tong Mama would not underestimate the strength of Shaolin Temple.

If the Loose faction reaches out to Shaolin's territory, it will definitely be counterattacked by Shaolin.

As for the Shenxiao Sect, Tianshan Tong's grandmother is a little confused about what the master means now.

When the Shenxiao Sect was first established, the master also asked her to send someone to support the Shenxiao faction, but since three years ago, the master has asked her to secretly pay close attention to the movements of the Shenxiao faction.

In the past few years, there have been many spies sent by the Vulture Palace to the vicinity of Zhongnan Mountain.

Aren't Master and Ye Zhenren old friends?

Could it be that Ye Zhenren blocked the Liao army from going south outside Yanmen Pass three years ago, which caused the relationship between the two to break down?

But looking at the master's intentions, there is no intention to be hostile to the Shenxiao faction.

It's just that she is paying close attention to the movements of the Shenxiao Sect.

Therefore, Tianshan Tong's grandmother was very puzzled, and some of them couldn't figure out the three flavors.

At present, there are several major forces on the rivers and lakes, that is, the Xiaoyao faction, the Shenxiao faction, the Shaolin Temple, and a beggar gang.

But the beggars have no leader, and now they are just a plate of scattered sand, so there is nothing to worry about.

Those who can wrestle with the Xiaoyao faction on the rivers and lakes are the Shenxiao faction and the Shaolin Temple.

What exactly does Master want to do?

Tianshan Tong was very puzzled.

……

The bitter cold of winter is gone.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again.

For most of the year, there has been some movement in the city of Tokyo, but it is not too big.

The emperor personally summoned Lin Lingsu, which was to show that the official recognition of the status of the Shenxiao faction.

Lin Ling is known as the identity of the Lord of the Divine Heavens, and it is much more convenient to do many things.

And Dugu Lingsheng was not idle, in this more than half a year, he practiced chivalry and righteousness in the Heshuo area, punished the traitor and eliminated the evil, and moved Heshuo in the name of the Cangyun Sword Method of 9981 Road.

The Western Xia and Song armies fought at the junction, and several large-scale battles broke out.

The Song army and the Western Xia fought back and forth.

The Shenxiao faction and the beggar gang joined forces to behead the Tanguts and assassinate a number of high-ranking Western Xia generals.

During this period, he fought several times with the people of Xixia Yipintang.

Both sides have injuries.

The disciples of the Shenxiao Sect Lingzi Sect lost two, and the beggar helped Wu Changfeng break an arm, but he also killed most of the people in the Xixia Yipintang.

The Western Xia gathered an army of 500,000 and divided the troops into three routes, the eastern road threatened Qingjian City, and the middle road surrounded Saimen Village, Long'an Village and Jinming Village.

In one day, the Xia army of the Western Road entered a place fifty miles away from Yan'an Mansion.

In Yan'an Mansion, Lu Huiqing personally commanded the transfer and coordinated all the military horses.

The Western Xia army was unable to capture Yan'an Mansion in a short period of time, and fearing that the return route would be cut off, had to turn to besiege Jinming Village, which broke through two days later, killing nearly 3,000 Song troops.

The campaign ended with a tactical victory for Western Xia.

But with 500,000 men killing less than 3,000 Song troops, the results were undoubtedly insignificant.

In the end, due to the victory of Western Xia in the frontal battlefield, the phased war came to an end temporarily.

After this battle, the beggars helped Wu Changfeng to visit Ye Qianqiu in Zhongnan Mountain.

Ye Qianqiu and Wu Changfeng said that he had selected a gang leader candidate for the beggar gang.

This person's nickname is Thirteen, and his big name is Fang Wenshan, but he also has a name, called Fang La!

To say that Ye Qianqiu found Fang La, it is also a coincidence.

Fang La was only fifteen years old when he first went up the mountain, and because of his natural divine power, he was also quite famous in the rivers and lakes of the eastern generation of Zhejiang.

But because of friction with the people of Mingjiao, an underground force of the generation in eastern Zhejiang, he caused a fatality and was hunted down and killed by the people of Mingjiao.

Coincidentally, Shenxiao sent Duan Yanqing to pick up Wang Jun's family from Jiangxi, and when he returned, he met Fang Shisan, who was chased and killed by the Mingjiao people.

Duan Yanqing saw that this son was brave and incomparable, and he was born with divine power, so after helping him repel the people of the Ming Sect, he brought Fang 13 back to Zhongnan Mountain.

Speaking of which, it was all three years ago.

After Fang La went up the mountain, he entered the martial arts hall and became a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, and changed his name to Fang Wenshan.

Wu Changfeng was very strange, since Fang Wenshan was a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, why did Ye Qianqiu let him join the beggar gang.

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said to Wu Changfeng.

"Elder Wu, this matter, Poor Dao will not hide it from you."

"Wen Shan was originally born in poverty, and he can be regarded as both civil and military, and his mind is flexible."

"Now that the beggar gang has no leader, it is not a way to continue like this."

"With the current situation of the Beggar Gang, it is really difficult to produce another hero like Qiao Feng."

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the position of the leader of the beggar gang has been vacant for three years."

"If there is no qualified candidate to succeed the leader of the beggar gang, it will not be a good thing for the beggar gang."

"Wen Shan is just an ordinary disciple in the Shenxiao Sect, if he joins the Beggar Gang, he may not be able to make a great career."

Wu Changfeng understood what Ye Qianqiu meant.

Wu Changfeng knew that what Ye Qianqiu said was the truth.

At present, the beggar gang has no leader, and the gang is now divided into two factions, one is headed by him, and the other is headed by Quan Guanqing.

Quan Guanqing has a bad heart and has coveted the position of the gang leader for a long time.

Kang Min framed Qiao Gang Leader at the beginning, what role did this person play in it.

Wu Changfeng didn't want to watch the beggars fall into the hands of villains.

But with his ability, he couldn't directly suppress Quan Guanqing.

Now, seeing that the beggar gang is falling apart, if the beggar gang can't produce a person with a position, I'm afraid the beggar gang will really be defeated.

Thinking of this, Wu Changfeng planned to accept Ye Qianqiu's suggestion.

After all, now that the rivers and lakes are headed by the Shenxiao faction, he originally suggested that Qiao Feng hand over the twenty-eight palms of the dragon descending and the dog-beating stick method to Ye Qianqiu for safekeeping, also in order to use the Shenxiao faction.

Left and right is just to let an ordinary disciple of the Shenxiao Sect join the beggar gang.

The beggar gang has also had such precedents before, such as Qiao Feng, who is a Shaolin lay disciple.

After joining the beggar gang, whether he can get to the position of the gang leader depends on his own ability.

Soon, Wu Changfeng took Fang La and left Zhongnan Mountain.

After Fang La joined the beggar gang, he first started as a beggar with no name, with Wu Changfeng's weight, coupled with his bold and courageous personality, in just a few months, he sat in the position of the elder of the five bags.

And it has made a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes, known as "Iron Arm King Kong".

Wu Changfeng didn't know that Fang La was actually Ye Qianqiu's personal disciple.

Ye Qianqiu did not tell Wu Changfeng about this.

Even in the Shenxiao Sect, no one knew that Fang La was actually his personal disciple.

Even Lin Lingsu, Ye Lingyun, and Dugu Lingsheng didn't know.

Fang La went to the beggar gang for the position of the leader of the beggar gang.

This involves Ye Qianqiu's layout of the world.

The beggar gang, as the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, although after Qiao Feng, has become a plate of loose sand.

If it is based on the prestige of the rivers and lakes, the beggar gang will definitely be much worse than before.

But the advantages of the beggars are also there, and if you want to compete for the world, the advantages of the beggars are too great.

The beggars have hundreds of thousands of disciples, and ninety percent of them are poor, and if something happens, it will be a great force.

Since Fang La went up the mountain, Ye Qianqiu has conducted a series of investigations on Fang La, and after the investigation, he accepted him as a personal disciple.

In the past three years, Ye Qianqiu's cultivation of Fang La has far exceeded that of the other three personal disciples.

He secretly taught Fang La Taizu the Dragon Slaying Technique.

After Ye Qianqiu's training, Fang La has been reborn and is no longer reckless and first-class.

Therefore, Ye Qianqiu did not doubt that Fang La would not be able to sit in the position of the leader of the beggar gang in a few years.

Originally, Ye Qianqiu had two sets of plans, if Wu Changfeng was unwilling to accept Fang La to join the beggar gang, he would let Fang La return to eastern Zhejiang, secretly join the Ming Sect, and use the power of the Ming Sect to cause trouble in the future.

But the current Mingjiao forces are not as big as the beggars after all.

Therefore, Ye Qianqiu preferred the beggar gang.

For Ye Qianqiu, the dynasty of the world is changing, the Zhao and Song dynasties can be destroyed, but the Han people cannot die.

At the beginning of Yanmen Pass, he bombarded Yelu Hongji, which had nothing to do with Zhao Song, but he didn't want to see the Liao army go south and trample on the Central Plains.

He knew Xiaoyaozi's strategy of destroying the Song Dynasty with the Three Kingdoms.

Xiaoyaozi wanted to borrow chickens to lay eggs, but Ye Qianqiu didn't agree with Xiaoyaozi's strategy.

Perhaps for Xiaoyaozi, as long as he can destroy Zhao Song, even with the help of foreign hands, it is understandable.

Xiaoyaozi has his insistence, he was once an emperor, he has a dictatorial temperament, he has laid out for a hundred years, and naturally he will not give up his plan because of Ye Qianqiu's appearance.

But Ye Qianqiu didn't think so, once the iron hooves of the alien race stepped into the Central Plains, it would be an endless disaster.

The Central Plains can be in civil strife, but it cannot be defeated in the hands of aliens.

Ye Qianqiu can't accept foreign races to dominate the Central Plains, this is Ye Qianqiu's bottom line.

This is a silent contest, Ye Qianqiu understands Xiaoyaozi, and Xiaoyaozi also understands Ye Qianqiu.

Both of them have their own pride.

So, they didn't ventilate with each other.

Because, there is no need.

They do not distinguish between life and death, but they must be divided into superior and inferior.

Ye Qianqiu cultivated Fang La, just to let the war in the world subside as soon as possible after the fall of Zhao and Song.

If at that time, Xiaoyaozi still has to use the power of foreign races to set foot in the Central Plains, then everyone can only meet each other in arms.

……

……

Going around and around, spring goes to autumn, the seasons change, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

In the past 20 years, there were constant disputes and frictions between the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Tibet.

And the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has also been replaced by Zhao Xu to Zhao Ji.

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu had passed away sixteen years ago, and when he died, he was only twenty-five years old.

I still remember that year, Zhao Xu was seriously ill and sent someone to Zhongnan Mountain to ask for a good way to continue his life.

Ye Qianqiu knew that Zhao Xu had been hollowed out by the sound of dogs and horses, and gave him a Dragon and Tiger Pill to continue his life for thirty days.

While Zhao Xu was grateful, he also rewarded the Shenxiao Sect with a lot of property.

The name of Shenxiaoguan in Tokyo is also unparalleled.

After Duan Wang Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he was very respectful of the Shenxiao faction, and often went to the Shenxiao Temple to talk with Lin Lingsu about the mystical Tao, play chess and paint.

For a time, the wind of worship inside and outside the capital was even worse.

The Shenxiao Sect has been established for twenty-five years, and it has become a banner in the world.

……

On Zhongnan Mountain, Ye Qianqiu's life is very peaceful.

In the past twenty years, the development of the Shenxiao Sect has been amazing.

For example, people today, up to the court, down to the people, all know that there is a living immortal living on Zhongnan Mountain.

In the past twenty years, Ye Qianqiu rarely went down the mountain.

It is to go down the mountain, that is, to go around the area of Zhongnan Mountain, and not to go too far.

Shenxiao Hall.

Ye Qianqiu was looking through the classics, a young Taoist with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in black and white Taoist robes, and a crown of jade on his head walked in, only to see him bow slightly towards Ye Qianqiu, and then said, "Disciple Wenqing has seen Shizun." ”

Ye Qianqiu put down the book in his hand, and when he saw that it was his little apprentice who came, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Wang Wenqing is the child named Wang Jun that he met with Chen Liang when he was in Jiangxi.

At the beginning, Ye Qianqiu asked Duan Yanqing to go to Jiangxi to find this son, and Duan Yanqing persuaded his parents to move to Chang'an.

It was on the way back that Duan Yanqing brought back Fang La, Fang Thirteen.

At the same time, the two became disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.

Now, twenty years have passed, and the former immature child has grown up and has become the backbone of the Shenxiao Sect today, and he is also the leader of the younger generation.

In the past few years, almost all the affairs of Shenxiao Hall have been handled by Wang Wenqing.

Lin Lingsu has been in Tokyo for 20 years, so naturally he has no time to take care of the affairs of the mountains.

Before Wang Wenqing grew up, Ye Qianqiu managed, and then Ye Qianqiu deliberately cultivated Wang Wenqing, after several years of training, Wang Wenqing is now able to stand alone.

"It's Wen Qing, you are a busy man, why do you have time to come here for the teacher today."

Ye Qianqiu said with a smile.

When Wang Wenqing heard this, he turned to Ye Qianqiu and said: "Master, the leader of the beggar gang sent a heroic post, inviting heroes from all walks of life in the world, saying that on March 28, a heroic meeting will be held in Drum Mountain to discuss the matter of resisting the southward movement of the Liao. ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled at Wang Wenqing and said, "Wenqing, you haven't seen thirteen in nearly twenty years." ”

"I remember back then, you and Thirteen went up the mountain together, and your relationship was still good."

When Wang Wenqing heard this, he said: "Master, a few years ago, when the apprentice went down the mountain, he also met with the thirteenth brother. ”

"Even if it's not much better than the beggars more than 20 years ago."

Ye Qianqiu bowed his head slightly, and said: "Well, a few years ago, Ye Luming, the king of the Northern Court of the Liao Kingdom, led his troops to quell the rebellion of the Jurchen tribe, and killed the leader of the Jurchen people, Wanyan Aguta, which can be regarded as cleaning up the hidden dangers in the rear of the Liao State. ”

"The emperor of the Liao State obeyed Yelu's words, and the Liao State has been fighting for twenty years, and it will soon go south."

"This hero conference is indeed necessary."

"I haven't come down the mountain for many years, so this time, I'll take a trip by myself."

"It just so happened that your senior brother Lingsu also came back from Tokyo with a message, and the prince was instigated by the people in Buddhism and wanted to fight with him in front of the emperor."

"In the past few years, Daxiangguo Temple, Wutai Mountain Qingliang Temple, and Songshan Shaolin Temple have all worn a pair of pants, and they have secretly stumbled on Lingsu."

"This time, the Imperial Front Fighting Method should also be beaten and beaten well, so that these monks are sober and sober."

"Since this matter has been rushed together, it is just time for the teacher to go down the mountain to move his muscles and bones."

"I'll leave the matter on the mountain to you."

When Wang Wenqing heard this, he didn't raise any objections, nodded and said, "Then I wish the master a smooth journey." ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Okay, you go and inform you Senior Brother Yanqing, this time, let him go with the teacher." ”

Wang Wenqing bowed slightly and withdrew.

……

Drum Mountain.

The scenery is quiet and the terrain is also high.

Ye Qianqiu and Duan Yanqing walked on the drum mountain, walking on the ground.

Twenty years have passed, and Duan Yanqing is now a rare person.

His skills are getting deeper and deeper, but he is still one step away from the realm of the great grandmaster where the dragon and tiger meet.

Duan Yanqing said to Ye Qianqiu as he walked: "Teacher, I haven't walked outside for some years. ”

"Since I stepped down from the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Hall, I have been practicing on the mountain all day, although I have been a lot more leisurely, I always feel that something is missing."

"However, after a long time, I have gotten used to it."

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "You just can't be idle, so when I came out this time, I thought of you first." ”

Duan Yanqing said with a smile: "Then thank you for teaching Meiyi." ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "Now the rivers and lakes are all young people's world, this time let's come to Drum Mountain, just see Wenshan alone, no need to make a big fanfare." ”

When Duan Yanqing heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "Zhangjiao, in the past twenty years, we have infiltrated more than seventy percent of the middle-level generals in the Great Song Border Army. ”

"Once the Liao people go south, Wenshan raises the banner of the rebel army and raises his arms and shouts, and he will definitely be able to gather hundreds of thousands of people in a very short period of time."

"Now that the emperor in the court doesn't know anyone, Cai Jing and others are doing all kinds of evil under the banner of explaining the new law, causing resentment among the people."

He himself said to the Tao, calling himself the "Sect Leader Dao Emperor", but for the people of the world, he is really not a good king. ”

"Once the Liao people go south, and then there are Western Xia and Tubo to contain the Zhao and Song border armies, the Liao army will definitely drive straight in, Tokyo has no danger to defend, no generals are available, and it is difficult for Zhao and Song not to lose the country."

Before Duan Yanqing stepped down as the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, he was the head of the Shenxiao Sect's external intelligence, so many of Ye Qianqiu's plans were not hidden from Duan Yanqing at all.

For Duan Yanqing, doing these things is simply handy.

At first, Duan Yanqing didn't quite understand Ye Qianqiu's intentions, but later, he understood everything.

Twenty years of layout, the plot is to rebel, the plot is to overthrow the world, and then establish a new dynasty!

In the past 20 years, the Shenxiao faction has done too many things secretly, and the hands of the Shenxiao faction have already extended to Heshuo, Liangzhejiang, and Huguang, but the focus is different.

Every time Duan Yanqing thinks about it now, he feels that the courage and means of teaching are really amazing.

While pushing Lin Lingsu, the chief disciple, to Tokyo, the Shenxiao faction seemed to be close to Zhao Song's family on the surface, but secretly they were making all preparations for the world.

The bulk of the Shenxiao faction's financial expenditure over the years was not used for the construction of the sect, but for secretly wooing the ministers of the court and the generals in the army.

Therefore, this time he came to Drum Mountain, Duan Yanqing was very clear about Ye Qianqiu's intentions, and he must have told Fang Wenshan about his next plan.

The chaos in the world has been revealed, and the time, place and people have appeared.

Just wait for the moment when the sword is revealed.

Ye Qianqiu glanced at Duan Yanqing and said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things, hold all your words in my stomach." ”

Hearing this, Duan Yanqing hurriedly nodded.

Duan Yanqing knows very well the power of the master, it has been almost fifty years since he first saw the master, but the appearance of the master is still no different from decades ago.

Everyone in the world says that the Palm Sect is a living immortal, but Duan Yanqing feels that there is nothing wrong with it at all.

The two walked on the Drum Mountain for more than half an hour and came to a place.

But see the bamboo shade forest, the scenery is quiet, next to the mountain stream with a giant bamboo to build a pavilion, build elegant, extremely ingenious, bamboo is the pavilion, the pavilion is the bamboo, at a glance, can not tell whether it is a bamboo forest or a pavilion.

There are people in the pavilion who are guarded, and they are disciples of the beggar gang.

After seeing Ye Qianqiu and Duan Yanqing, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Duan Yanqing handed over the unsigned post, and a young beggar disciple continued to walk up the mountain with the two.

Ye Qianqiu and Duan Yanqing have not been out of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the rivers and lakes are changing very quickly, ten years is a generation, and there are talents from generation to generation.

Ye Qianqiu and Duan Yanqing have not set foot in the rivers and lakes for more than ten or twenty years, although they still have their names on the rivers and lakes, but the younger generation on the rivers and lakes, where can anyone recognize the two of them.

Not to mention this young beggar disciple, how could he know that the young man in his eyes was the world's most famous and powerful world-famous master in the world, Ye Zhenren of the Shenxiao Sect with the name of a land immortal.

Under the leadership of the beggar disciple, the two of them walked for a while and entered a valley.

I saw that the valley was full of pine trees, and the mountain wind passed, and the sound of the pine was like waves.

After walking a few steps in the forest, I saw that there was a clearing in the forest, and the forest was full of beggars and disciples, as well as heroes from all walks of life.

At this time, the heroes of all walks of life were noisy and noisy, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Ye Qianqiu could tell it clearly, probably those heroes of the rivers and lakes were talking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Ye Qianqiu and Duan Yanqing stood in the distance, watching quietly.

At this time, I saw that the crowd in the forest suddenly made way of a road, and a beggar disciple shouted, "Fang Gang Master has arrived!" ”

The next moment, I saw a very burly man walk out of the crowd, the man's arms were still thick, his face was resolute, and his expression was full of confidence.

I saw him appear.

A group of people from the rivers and lakes hurriedly bowed their hands to the man.

"Hello Fang Gang Master!"

"Gang Master Fang is lucky!"

This person is the current leader of the beggar gang, Fang La!

The famous "Iron Arm King Kong" Fang Thirteen on the rivers and lakes!
