Since Liu Maosheng urged the seven sects from Hexi to speed up the victory of the Shandong Dao Sect Alliance, the seven sects also understood that the time to wait and see had passed, and now was the time for them to use their lives.

At first, it was just the main force of the seven families that thousands of people broke through each of them, and they focused on the remnants of those small sects that were far away and had relatively poor strength, but now they almost ignored all kinds of means.

Losing the main force, the Shandong Daomen Alliance can only retreat again and again, but it is not a way after all.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, some sects even secretly dispersed overnight and disappeared into the refugees in the night. Others, on the other hand, went to Coastal City and sought refuge at the Alliance's headquarters.

In just half a month, the situation has reversed, and the Shandong Daoist Sect Alliance, which was once indispensable and did not even pay attention to the top administrative officials of Shandong Dao, is now getting worse and worse. Zhang Zhenhai, who has been the leader of the alliance, is old, he doesn't want to toss anymore, he was originally elected, and sitting in this position is a symbol, because he is old, has a high seniority, and everyone has no opinion on the respected old-timers sitting in this position.

What about now? The main forces of each family have been lost, and those who have died have died, and those who have surrendered to sincerity have left him with the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are powerless if they have the heart.

In the past, Shi Fulai, the political envoy of Shandong Daobu, was afraid of the alliance, and Shandong Dao was precarious, and what he actually controlled was Linhai City, so he was an old-timer to Zhang Zhenhai, the leader of the alliance, step by step, and even the major affairs on the official face were personally supported by Zhang Zhenhai, and he was half a step slower than him, even if he knew that this old man was a peerless student and could kill a cow with one punch.

Now, the situation has reversed, and one after another reports have reached Linhai City, and even the garrison of Linhai City dares to flirt with the disciples of the Alliance from time to time, let alone him?

Originally, the headquarters of the alliance was set in Linhai City, because this is the center of Shandong Province and the capital, and I never thought about the significance of this city.

But now, the remnants of the alliance who have been cowering in Rinkai Castle finally understand another benefit of Rinkai Castle, which is the core of Daimori's nominal rule in Shandong Province. Even if the blood of Shandong Dao is like a river, even if the bandits destroy the state capital radish and engrave the big seal to proclaim themselves the king of the mountain, no one in Linhai City dares to move easily.

Kill the county order, as long as the officials of the state government say in unison that they are asking for the life of the people on the road of heaven, Dasheng can only turn a blind eye and attack Linhai City, which is to tear off Dasheng's bottoms # pants.

What they understand better than them is the seven sects in Hexi, when they were in Hexi, Huang Yin had already let them be pawned once, and now, they will not be in the second time, don't look at their elite thousands, and the recruited stragglers are nearly 10,000 brave, but dare to move Linhai City on the surface? That is, turn on the lights in the toilet and look for death.

By the end of August, the vigorous battle of Shandong Province for several months finally stopped temporarily after surrounding the remnants of the alliance in Linhai City.

The seven families in Hexi also understand that the siege can be surrounded, but they must send out the news, tell Zhou Zhe, and tell the political envoy of Shandong that we are in accordance with the military order to exterminate the remnants of the anti-thieves, hoping to cooperate with the opening of the city gate and the like.

The battle report and letter to Zhou Zhe had already set off, and the letter to Shi Fulai was handed over to Shi Fulai by the garrison on the city wall on the same day.

"Is this really sent by the Seven Families of Hexi?" Shi Fu looked at the letter in the box, and the stack of silver tickets under the box was five hundred taels, and he thought about it.

The commander of the garrison respectfully hugged his fists, but his eyes glanced at the stack of silver tickets from time to time, and the meaning was self-evident.

Shi Fulai understood what he meant, and he was a little tired of the greed of the garrison commander, even if he was more greedy than the others. But eating alone has always been a taboo in officialdom.

"It's a little bit of a hard work to be in charge. Shi Fulai took out a few silver tickets and handed them to the commander of the garrison. And the commander of the garrison who received the silver ticket looked at it, and his heart blossomed. Just sent a letter, and got a million taels of silver out of thin air, which was like pie in the sky, and at the same time sighed, those damn sects are really rich, and they will sell five million taels of silver.

Unlike the commander of the garrison, just looking at the present, Shi Fu came to see the letter and pondered carefully. The general meaning of the letter is to ask Shi Fulai to open the city and release the disciples of the Hexi Sect in the capital to exterminate the last remnants of the alliance, and the benefits are not directly stated, but they are vaguely mentioned. But having said that, Shi Fulai is not a stupid person, if the front foot is a wolf and the back foot is a tiger, he Shi Fulai will still have half a step behind.

The alliance advocates that no matter how bad Zhenhai is, he has never slapped him in the face openly, and he also has the posture of an elder, and his descendants are respected by outsiders in the eyes of outsiders, which is not ugly. But what if people from Hexi came over? He knew that the group of Hexi sects was just a large number of people, and many of them were originally small sects with a few hundred people, and most of the people in charge were middle-aged people who were about his age, or even young people in their thirties.

Face is secondary, and there is also a consideration that the relationship between this group of people and the loyal and brave Marquis Zhou Zhe is extraordinary, if they take advantage of Zhou Zhe, the evil god and the backer, to ride on his head to and pee, then he should not call the earth and the earth unspiritual. At this moment, he also realized the importance of Zhenhai to him.

Even if the alliance is now at the end of its rope, there are still thousands of those older elders and disciples who are not below the third order. As long as the business is done properly, it will still be strong in time.

Therefore, the importance of Zhang Zhenhai is his existence, as long as he exists, it is a check and balance on the seven families in Hexi, as long as he Shi Fulai can be an official speaker in the middle, and his interests will be captured. And if Zhang Zhenhai wants to exist, there is only one way, to recruit them, as long as they are edicted, the seven sects will have no reason to beat them.

At that time, he can not only study and watch his work, but also sit on the profits of the two families, isn't it beautiful? It doesn't matter whether people are beautiful or not, the key is to think about the beauty, at this moment Shi Fulai is full of fine eyes, yearning for the future of glory and wealth in Shandong Road.

Seeing Shi Fulai's expression, the garrison commander felt a little furious in his heart, how many million taels could he be beautiful like this?

Shi Fulai came back to his senses for a while, looked at the garrison commander with sweat on his forehead and a puzzled face, and coughed embarrassedly, "You go and see what is going on in Zhang Zhenhai's alliance headquarters." Guard the city gates these days, and don't let anyone in for the time being. ”

Although he didn't understand Shi Fulai's intentions, the commander of the garrison who sent him and took the silver didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately ordered a team of 100 people to go to the headquarters of the alliance in the name of patrolling.

At this moment, the headquarters of the alliance still had the logos of various sects hanging on the flagpole, and the young disciples were also standing guard in a serious manner, but when they saw the commander of the garrison coming with the one hundred and ten garrisons, they immediately became cautious. They are not high-end combat power, they are not a bull who can fight ten and still get out of the way, more importantly, they are good under the big tree, and they have good qualifications to join the alliance.

In today's situation, although the news has been blocked by the alliance leader, how can there be an impermeable wall?

The young disciples outside were cautious, and the elders who stayed behind inside were also gloomy, a bunch of half feet stepped into the coffin board, adding up to thousands of years old old men who had been meeting together for a long time, and they didn't say anything about being ugly, they could only sigh, and they couldn't describe their lives as loveless.

Zhang Zhenhai has lived for most of his life, and he has gone through ups and downs, but when did he get to such a point?

"Can we still be accepted now that we are sincere?"

"What if you don't throw yourself into the city? Qi Donghai, who is not angry, has already defeated all the elites of the alliance. ”

The scene fell silent again, and after a while, Zhang Zhenhai, who had white hair, spoke

"Now, it's not a question of whether we want to accept Tou Cheng, but whether they accept it. If Zhou Zhe is bent on uprooting us, you and I can't even beg for bones. ”

An old man with a quick temper stood up, "Then what should I do? I can't wait for death here, right? Our family members, the descendants of the younger generation are all in this Linhai City, at the beginning, it is better to risk escaping from Shandong Dao to the realm of the Sword Sect." Now it's good, it's going to be served in a pot. ”

"Sword Sect, Sword Sect, who doesn't know that your daughter married into the Sword Sect? Even the Sword Sect knows that it is not good to contain the anti-thieves, what else do we have? A group of old, weak, sick and disabled. The other old man in blue immediately retorted and was speechless.

At this moment, a young disciple reported outside the hall: "Alliance Master, there is a garrison commander outside asking to see you?"

If it is usual, maybe Zhang Zhenhai can be dismissed if he doesn't see a word. And now, at this point in time, they have reached this point, and it is still impossible for him not to think carefully about what the commander of the garrison means by coming to see him at this moment.

"Hmph! The dogs of the past are going to bite too. The quick-tempered old man cursed.

After all, Zhang Zhenhai has gone through ups and downs, and he is still a bit of a city government, so he kept pressing everyone's words and asked

"How many people did he bring?"

The male light disciple replied respectfully, "There is a garrison of about a hundred people. ”

Zhang Zhenhai has a clue, this is not to attack, then, it may be to persuade surrender or some other purpose, and he glanced at everyone and ordered

"The middle door was wide open, so the disciples lined up to welcome them. ”

Everyone is still angry that a garrison commander is so courteous, but thinking of the current situation, how can they be so elegant?

Qiu Daqi, the commander of the garrison, saw that the door was open, and a group of young alliance disciples lined up on both sides, and shouted neatly and respectfully: "Please lead the garrison, Wang Sihai." Immediately a smile on his face turned into a flower, he is not a person with a city government, let alone a strong background, he just relied on sending money and beauties to the officials, and he stepped on shit all the way to get to this status lucky person.

He had never seen such a battle, and he had enjoyed the treatment of a faction leader, but now, he enjoyed, enjoyed the eyes of being looked down upon and in awe.

The situation is stronger than people! Wang Sihai's mind was not so stupid, and he quickly thought that this was Zhang Zhenhai releasing goodwill.

Sure enough, when they entered the hall, except for Zhang Zhenhai, the rest of the people also nodded their heads, and some disciples served tea, and they were invited to the main guest seat on the side. After this courtesy, Wang Sihai understood it, and I am afraid that he has a request for him.

Zhang Zhenhai is still the leader of the alliance, but his voice has more of an old man's kindness: "I don't know why Commander Gong is here?"

Wang Sihai smiled: "Passing by here, stop by to visit, such courtesy, the elders are kind to me." ”

Although everyone knows that this Wang Sihai is now a villain, but fortunately, they can still accept this attitude, and they don't say anything more, just exchange eyes.

Zhang Zhenhai couldn't sell it at this time, and asked directly: "This city gate is blocked, but the people from the seven sects in Hexi have already arrived?"

Wang Sihai squinted his eyes, something, here, haha smiled

"It's true, so, isn't it, I'm leading a patrol? Otherwise, I can't afford to rob the city and lose the gates. ”

What is stolen in the city, what is lost in the city gate, it is nothing more than a threat, want to make some benefits, and if you don't give benefits, you will threaten to open the city gate and let the seven families in Hexi enter the city. None of the old men present could see this kind of trick, and then they realized that Wang Sihai, who was smiling, was not so easy to fool, and he was also a smiling tiger who ate people.

Zhang Zhenhai smiled and said in a deep voice: "Someone!"

Wang Sihai thought that Zhang Zhenhai was going to take his sacrificial knife at this time, and he was still wondering if he had said it just now, but he didn't think about it, but Zhang Zhenhai looked at him with a smile and continued to speak

"Take some money and give it to the brothers in the garrison. This guardian city has a great stake and cannot be missed. ”

One million taels of silver arrived, Wang Sihai couldn't believe it when he went out, so he went in and walked around, and he got one million taels. That was what he could only get by exploiting the garrison of the state capital below for three or five years, and now, it was actually the leader of the Shandong Sect Alliance who personally sent it to him. At this moment, he felt that he Wang Sihai was also a number one.
