Section 23 Trust and Support
"Are you really Brother Xie's son?" Seeing that Xie Wuji admitted it calmly, Wen Cangsong was a little incredulous.
Tang Yang also asked, "But we heard, didn't you die in the fire at the beginning?" ”
Xie Wuji said in a slightly low voice: "The family suffered a great disaster that day, and the little nephew invited the heavens to be lucky, and was rescued by the master who happened to pass by, so he picked up a life...... "He said, telling the story of the day. Of course, in Xie Wuji's mouth, these were all told to him by Zhang Sanfeng before he went down the mountain.
"Good! It's really good, hahaha......" Seeing that the time and place that Xie Wuji said were completely consistent, the five flag bearers no longer had any doubts, and laughed in unison.
On the contrary, Xu Da and the four of them looked at each other, a little confused. Although they are the incense masters and deputy incense masters of the Five Elements Banner Branch Altar in Jianghuai Province, they still know very little about the Ming Sect, such as the left and right light envoys, the four major guardian kings and other high-level things. So, for a while, they couldn't think of who the big brother Xie in the mouth of the five flag bearers was?
Liu Ju couldn't hold his breath the most, and immediately opened his mouth to ask Xie Wuji: "Brother Xie, what is your life experience?" Now that the five flag bearers have recognized you as a nephew, you don't have to hide it from us anymore. ”
Xie Wuji smiled bitterly: "My father is the 'Golden Retriever Lion King', one of the four major guardian kings of my sect, Xie Xun. ”
"The Four Great Guardians?" When the four of them heard this, they were all surprised, and then they vaguely remembered that among the four major guardians of the Ming Sect, one of them was indeed surnamed Xie. It's just that because of this Protector King, there has been no news for many years, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, so they don't think about it.
After a short period of surprise, Liu Ju pretended to be unhappy and said, "Brother Xie, since you are the son of the Dharma King, what do you have to hide?" What did you say to me and Brother Chang at the beginning, your background has a lot to do with my teaching, and the grievances are very deep, so you are really not enough brothers. ”
Chang Yuchun also nodded again and again, agreeing with Liu Ju's words.
Xie Wuji sighed: "At the beginning, my family suffered a great change and the whole door was destroyed. In order to draw out the enemy, he set off endless bloody rain on the rivers and lakes, leaving a great notoriety, and provoked countless enemies, including Shaolin, Kongtong and other famous factions, that is, my fifth brother Zhang Cuishan disappeared, and it was not unrelated to him. ”
Liu Ju and the four of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they never thought that Xie Xun would have such a "majestic" past. However, they still didn't understand the so-called "grievance entanglement" between Xie Xun and Mingjiao, and Liu Ju couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Xie, those decent hypocrites don't deal with my sect in the first place, and if they provoke it, they will provoke it, what does this have to do with my sect?" After a pause, he asked with a little hesitation: "It can't be, Ling Zun also killed my sect back then, right?" ”
Xin Ran's eyes widened, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense." Brother Xie is so affectionate and righteous, how can he do it to his brothers in the sect. ”
Liu Ju shrunk his neck in fright, and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, but his eyes were still fixed on Xie Wuji, waiting for his answer.
Xie Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Four brothers, do you know that the reason why those famous and decent families hate our sect so much, regard our sect as a great enemy of life and death, and want to get rid of it quickly is precisely because of what my father did back then?" You must know that since my father is the protector of my teaching, his words and deeds naturally represent my teaching, hey......" At the end, he couldn't help but let out a bitter sigh.
"This ......" Liu Ju and the four of them looked at each other, and then they suddenly realized. They had all vaguely guessed that there were probably many people in the sect, so they were very dissatisfied with Xie Xun.
Suddenly, Zhuang Zheng, who had never said a word, said categorically: "Wuji, if you are worried about this, you don't have to. No matter what the rest of the sect thinks, my Five Elements Banner will always stand on Brother Xie's side, and I will never regret it! The words are sonorous and heartfelt.
"Not bad!" Wen Cangsong also said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, if it weren't for Brother Xie who came to the rescue many times, we don't know how many times we would have died." ”
Xin Ran's temperament was the most hot, and he blurted out without hesitation: "Back then, the sect leader was missing, Yang Xiaonas wanted to ascend the throne of the sect leader, and actually teamed up with those guys from the four gates of heaven and earth wind and thunder to suppress our Five Elements Banner everywhere, if it weren't for Brother Xie to come forward to defend it, I'm afraid we would have been swallowed up by the four gates of heaven and earth, and it is unknown." At the mention of this, the five flag bearers all showed indignation.
Tang Yang also sighed: "In the end, with the support of Brother Xie, we can get out of the big quagmire in Guangming Peak safely." Otherwise, how can we be at ease today? ”
Yan Yuan looked disdainful, and said coldly: "Hugh wants to mention those guys who only know infighting, with this kung fu, we might as well discuss how to overthrow the Tartar court in the future." ”
"Not bad! Our Five Elements Banner should have done our best to overthrow the Tartar court, and the struggle for power and profit within the sect should have nothing to do with us? The other four flag bearers also nodded their heads in agreement.
Xie Wuji was greatly surprised when he heard the words of the five people, he never thought that Xie Xun's status in the hearts of the five people would be so high, and he saw that the five people were so strong in overthrowing the Mengyuan court, and praised them sincerely: "The five uncles are righteous and admired, and in the future, they will do their best to assist the five uncles to overthrow the Tartar court and drive them out of my Central Plains." ”
"Huh? Mowgli, what you said is not right. Wen Cangsong waved his hand, and said: "Wuji, the future is the world of your young people, the five of us are old, it should be the five of us who will do our best to assist you." I'm right, big brother ......" The last sentence was naturally said to Zhuang Zheng.
Zhuang Zheng nodded without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Wuji, don't worry, from now on, our Five Elements Banner will definitely support you as much as we support Brother Xie." ”
"Not bad!" Yan Yuan said: "Wuji, although the five of us are old, we can still move, what do you want to do, just let go of your hands and feet to do it, our Five Elements Banner is your strongest backing." ”
Xie Wuji's heart was even more overjoyed, and at the same time, he was also full of emotion, but the humility on his face still had to be done, otherwise it would give people a feeling of arrogance, so he said humbly: "The five uncles are in the prime of life, so why do they get old." Besides, the nephew is still inexperienced, how can he compare with the five uncles? Naturally, it should be the nephew who assists the five uncles. ”
Tang Yang said with a smile: "The tiger father has no dogs!" Mowgli, you don't have to be too humble, just look at your pioneering deeds in the past few months, but they are stronger than the efforts of the five of us for many years. So, you don't have to put it off any longer, just do what we say. ”
Xin Ran also persuaded: "Yes, Mowgli, to be honest, leading everyone to overthrow the Tartar court, although the five of us are duty-bound, but it is really not that material." Since Mowgli has the ability to do so, don't postpone it any longer. ”
"Brother Xie, since the five flag bearers all trust you so much, you don't have to postpone it any longer, and the brothers are willing to follow you......" Xu Da and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes, and immediately opened their mouths to persuade each other.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Xie Wuji no longer pretended to prevaricate, and he naturally understood the truth that was too much, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Since the five uncles and brothers trust Wuji so much, Wuji should be the only one." Wuji is here to assure you that in his lifetime, he will overthrow the Tartar court and drive them all out of the fortress. ”
"Not bad! This is Brother Xie's son, Ha ......" Zhuang Zheng patted Xie Wuji's shoulder heavily, his eyes full of appreciation. The rest of the people were also very satisfied with Xie Wuji, and their eyes were full of admiration and admiration.
Subsequently, everyone sat down one after another, and soon the disciples in the village changed to a table of good wine and food, and the five flag bearers also did not stand up, and Xie Wuji and others pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank frequently. In the conference hall, it was lively again.
During the banquet, Zhuang Zheng asked Xie Wuji: "Wuji, now that you are making too much noise, the Tartar court will not let it go, so you can't stay in this cottage anymore." However, you don't need to be too nostalgic, and you should return to the main altar with us as soon as possible, so that you can show your strength. I just don't know, do you have any plans for the future? ”
Xie Wuji played with the wine bowl in his hand, and said with a confident smile: "The plan can't be discussed, I still have some ......" drank the wine in the bowl, and talked eloquently: "In the past few months, the forces that have resisted the Tartars have risen one after another, but the results are not satisfactory. According to his nephew's opinion, now, although the people of the world are complaining about the Tartar court, it is far from the time when the people's grievances are boiling and everyone is united in overthrowing the Tartar court. Even if we want to unveil the rod on a large scale at this time, even if we can be proud for a while, I am afraid that it will end up dismally. ”
"Yes, go on." Wen Cangsong nodded his head, feeling that what Xie Wuji said was very reasonable, and his eyes were full of encouragement. The rest of the people were also silent, waiting for Xie Wuji's next words.
Xie Wuji said in a deep voice: "However, even if the time is not ripe, we can't just wait and do nothing. And like before, a small-scale rebellion against the Tartar court, although it can occasionally win a small victory, is just an itch in the boots, except for a slight blow to the prestige of the Tartar court, it can no longer play any substantive role. So, my view is that we have to find a way to accumulate as much strength as possible for the future. ”
"Oh?" Wen Cangsong smiled and asked, "Then how do we accumulate strength?" You know, at present, the Tartar court can monitor the world very closely, and I am afraid it will not give us any opportunity to accumulate too strong strength. ”
Xie Wuji's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "It's naturally difficult inside, but we can look outward, there's no need to fight the Tartar Imperial Court at all." ”
"...... outward" everyone heard the words and realized something.
"Yes, I'm referring to the Chagatai Khanate, one of the three remaining affiliated khanates of the Tartar court." Xie Wuji said in a deep voice: "If we can take the Chagatai Khanate, we can calmly recuperate and accumulate strength here. After a pause, he added, "If all goes well, we can even expand to the Ilkhanate or the Kipchak Khanate." If we can really take down these three khanates in one fell swoop, and in the future, we will counterattack the Tartar court, and we will definitely be able to make a contribution in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Tartar court. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they were shocked and excited by the grand blueprint drawn by Xie Wuji.
After a long time, everyone came back to their senses, but Zhuang Zheng frowned slightly, and muttered: "Wuji, although your plan is good, but with the power of our Five Elements Banner, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it, right?" ”
Tang Yang also asked: "Also, the Tartar Imperial Court, will it watch us destroy the three affiliated khanates and do nothing?" ”
"As long as the plan is right, with the power of our Five Elements Banner, it can be done." Xie Wuji smiled confidently: "As far as I know, in the first year of the reign, the Chagatai Khanate was divided into two parts, the east and the west. Now, the eastern part of the country is divided into a number of small states, which we can break down one by one, and then annex the western part in one fell swoop. And the three khanates, although they are superficially attached to the Tartar court, are only on the surface, in fact, they have always done their own thing. You must know that the Tartar court had four major affiliated khanates back then, but the Ogedai Khanate was not annexed by the Chagatai Khanate? Come to think of it, with the current situation, the Tartar court will definitely not make a big move for this. After all, they don't even take care of themselves, it's a drop in the bucket. ”
After listening to Xie Wuji's analysis, most of the doubts in their hearts were gone, and they became more confident in Xie Wuji's plan. However, although they believed that Xie Wuji would not deceive them in this matter, it was still necessary to investigate the specific situation of the three khanates afterwards.
Zhuang Zheng suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Naturally there is no problem with focusing on the three major khanates, but what about the inside?" Are we going to give up? ”
"Of course not." Xie Wuji had obviously already considered this issue clearly, and immediately replied without hesitation: "Of course, we can't give up internally. Although, among the three khanates, there are also some of our Han people, but more of them are aliens. Therefore, my plan is that after we conquer the three khanates, we will move the Han people from the Central Plains on a large scale, and then help us gain a firm foothold in the three khanates faster. And all this is indeed inseparable from the arrangement of the brothers in the banner of the Central Plains......"
Xie Wuji thought for a while, and then continued: "So, next, internally, the task of the brothers in the banner is equally important, how to move the Han people to the three khanates under the nose of the Tartar Imperial Court is indeed not so easy. But fortunately, the Tartar court has expropriated and extorted, resulting in starving people and refugees all over the world, and it has also given us a lot of opportunities......"
Everyone exchanged glances, becoming more and more satisfied with Xie Wuji's plan, and their trust and support for him became stronger.
However, as for how to conquer the three khanates, and how to move the hungry people and refugees from the Central Plains to the three khanates, everyone began to ponder silently again.
