"Father, I firmly disagree with the conditions they have proposed. After Xu Hua and Zhang Bu left, Li Xiang first gathered his family to discuss together. His eldest son, Li Dang, was furious when he heard what Zhang Bu said, and immediately objected: "What is their Heavenly Master Sect, and they want your father to be baptized in public in public, what has become of this? Doesn't this make you, father, their subordinate? After many battles, so many people have died, and so much blood has been shed, so that we have today's situation. He Heavenly Master Sect wants to ride on your father's head when he moves his mouth. There is no such good thing in this world. What kind of immortal masters? In my opinion, they are all a bunch of charlatans. ”

Li Xiang listened to Li Dang's words, his face did not change in the slightest, he glanced at the few people on both sides, and asked a handsome young man about twenty-six or seventeen years old, "Xiong'er, what do you think?"

This Li Xiong is Li Xiang's second son, who is modest and cautious on weekdays and doesn't like to talk big, but every time he encounters a major event, he can always say suggestions that make Li Xiang satisfied.

"What the eldest brother just said is also true. Li Xiong looked at everyone looking at him, and said slowly: "Let's not talk about the question of who is the master and who is the subordinate, then the matter will be in the future, and now it is imperative, I think it is to break the grim situation we are facing now." ”

When Li Xiong said this, not to mention other people, even Li Dang, who was usually impatient, pondered thoughtfully.

"Now we and Liang Yi Erzhou are in a state of anxiety, whoever can break this situation first will win the initiative in the next stage. Just now, my father said that this heavenly teacher can provide us with food that is in short supply, and second, Natan Bu said that there is a route that can take Wenshan County. ”

"Wenshan County is all in the mountains, what is the benefit of taking Wenshan County?" Li Dang frowned and questioned loudly.

"Although Wenshan County is a poor and remote area, there are almost 20,000 households. Li Xiong continued to say clearly in the face of his eldest brother's questioning: "And more than 20,000 families have almost been military households since ancient times, and they are the most capable of fighting well. Not only that, there are many Qiang people in this Wenshan County, and according to my father, Na Tanbu said that the Qiang tribe in Wenshan County believes in their Heavenly Master Sect. Therefore, he dared to say that with 1,000 men and horses, he could take Wenshan County. ”

"Although Wenshan County does not produce much grain, taking Wenshan County is the first step for us to break the game. The first is to make the morale of our displaced army more stable through victory, and the second is that we can get a new force. With the living conditions of the Qiang people and those military households in Wenshan County, as long as we give them the same conditions as Deyang County, we don't have to worry that they will not contribute to us. Back then, the first lord of Shu merchants besieged CD for nearly a year, and finally became the last straw that crushed CD City, wasn't it because Ma Chao took refuge in the first lord of Shu merchants?"

"At this time, the situation we are facing is similar to the situation of the siege of CD by the ancestor of Shu Shang. Yabo They are guest troops from Yongzhou, and they can only fight in one go. Although it is now occupying such a dangerous pass as Jiameng Pass, the morale is definitely not high. As long as we add some new forces on our side, their morale will be even lower......"

"Tanbu," Xu Hua shouted at Zhang Bu with an angry face in a simple house in Hande County, "During the day, on the side of General Zhendong, why did you promise them that our Heavenly Master Church would help them take Wenshan County? ”

"Lord Zhengfu Zhenguan," Zhang Bu disagreed, but replied respectfully on the surface: "According to our subordinates, we not only want to help the displaced people take Wenshan County, but even help them take the entire Yizhou. ”

"Arrogance!" Xu Hua saw that Zhang Bu not only did not reflect on his mistakes, but even said amazingly, and pointed at Zhang Bu in shock and anger and shouted, "Who gave you such courage?"

Looking at Xu Hua's fierce appearance, Zhang Bu was not panicked at all, and continued to say lightly: "Since I first heard the teachings of my Heavenly Master Sect taught by adults, it has been as if I have been reborn. In the past, I was greedy and selfish, just like the people in the Heavenly Demon Realm depicted in the twenty volumes of the New Commandment, struggling in the sea of desire, and the more I tried, the deeper I sank. It was the Lord Zhenguan of the Zhengfu who rescued me from this sea of desire, and it was the Heavenly Master who led me, a lost lamb, back to the right path. ”

"I've often wondered why God would have asked you, my lord, to save such an insignificant person as me. When I left Qingcheng Mountain and went to Wenshan County to preach, I saw the lost lambs, and I finally understood why God wanted to deliver my Tanbu. He wants me to save more people and get more lost lambs back on the right path. ”

I don't know when, Xu Hua's arm that was originally pointing at Zhang Bu had already fallen, and the angry face that was originally full of his face had disappeared, just looking at this backward disciple who he had personally introduced into the Heavenly Master Sect in such a daze.

"Maybe I've lied to them lost lambs, maybe I've deceived them," Zhang Bu said, the more pious the look on his face became, "I know that I am guilty of doing this, and I will be sent to the Heavenly Demon Realm in the future." But if I don't enter the Heavenly Demon Realm, who will enter the Heavenly Demon Realm? If I can enter the Heavenly Demon Realm alone in exchange for rescuing countless people and returning to the right path, I will not hesitate to do this. I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for God and for Laojun. ”

Xu Hua was already moved when he heard Zhang Bu say this. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Pity me, Xu Hua, who has been in the church for more than 60 years, is not as good as you, a newcomer who has been in the church for less than a year. Shame, shame. It's just that the Heavenly Master's side ......"

With a "poof", Zhang Bu knelt in front of Xu Hua with tears streaming down his face, "Master Xu, your kindness to my Tanbu is like a reborn parent." This matter was done by Tan Bu, and those sins were naturally borne by Tan Bu alone. As long as they agree to our conditions, as long as there are Taoist temples in Yizhou County in the future, and everyone believes in my Heavenly Master's teaching, it is to let me Tanbu die now, and I am willing. ”
