Chapter Seventy-Four: The Uninvited Guest

This group of uninvited guests is Zhang Juhan and others.

Chen Qiuming's guess was not bad at all, the assassination of Zhu Wen was indeed done by Zhang Juhan with that group of orphans.

As early as last autumn, Zhang Juhan led people to infiltrate Luoyang City, and then asked them to pretend to be peddlers and pawns every day, while inquiring for news, while waiting for opportunities.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wen rarely came out to walk around, waited for more than half a year, and finally waited for a suitable opportunity, Zhu Wen had a whim, and actually wanted to go to the White Horse Temple to worship the Buddha.

As a great venerable of the Great Ming Zun Sect, going to worship the Buddha is somewhat ironic!

But in fact, although Zhu Wen was mixed up in the position of Da Ming Zun in the Da Ming Zun Sect, he never believed in the God of Light.

Zhu Wen was born in Dangshan County, his father died early, and he followed his mother and two brothers to live a life under the fence since he was a child. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (874), there was a famine in the Laiwu area for many years, and Huangchao took the opportunity to use the name of the Ming Zunjiao to gather tens of thousands of hungry people.

Zhu Wen and his second brother Zhu Cun joined the Da Ming Zun Sect at that time, with his astuteness and extraordinary courage, Zhu Wen quickly won the appreciation of his superiors, and also learned a good martial arts.

Zhu Wen had already seen through the way the Great Ming Zun Sect fooled the people, and he didn't believe that the God of Light could save all people, but he was born a hero, good at disguise, and showed great piety to the God of Light in front of the high-level, even Huang Chao was deceived by him.

With the growth of martial arts and the power in his hands at any time, Zhu Wen's ambition gradually swelled, and later he turned against him at a critical moment, not only taking refuge in the Tang family, but also giving Huang Chao a fatal blow.

Huang Chao was furious and decided to personally execute Zhu Wen, a traitor, but was besieged to death by Song Yidao, Long Fei, Sun Miaohan and others halfway. After the end of the Yellow Thieves Rebellion, Zhu Wen was named the Xuanwu Army Festival Envoy, and even the King of Liang, and gradually became a prince of the divided side, in order to achieve a certain goal, he quietly collected the remnants of the Daming Zun Sect and re-founded the Da Ming Zun Sect.

Therefore, from beginning to end, the Great Ming Zun Sect was just a tool in his eyes, not a belief. Under the influence of his mother, he has believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and a few days ago, Zhu Wenjiu thought quietly and wanted to go to the White Horse Temple for a walk, and burn pillar incense by the way.

The White Horse Temple is different from the Jingnian Zen Temple, it is a royal temple since ancient times, many monks in it do not know martial arts, only understand Buddhism, and even some people also hold the official position of the imperial court, which has little to do with the Buddhism in the rivers and lakes.

As a result, before leaving the city, he only walked near the Woma Bridge, and was ambushed by Zhang Juhan and others, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Although Zhu Wen did not bring the Praetorian Guards, he also sat on the dragon chariot, with dozens of entourage, and there were several grandmaster-level guards, and he couldn't imagine that anyone would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head in broad daylight.

Zhang Juhan smashed the dragon chariot into pieces with a single sword, and then found out that Zhu Wen was pouring down a continuous rain of swords, not giving Zhu Wen any respite, and the group of assassins trained by Zhang Juhan pounced on Zhu Wen's entourage, not giving them a chance to support Zhu Wen.

There are a total of eighteen assassins in this group, among them, some people have been learning martial arts with Zhang Juhan since the first year of Tianyou, and the latest beginners have been two or three years old, and the worst martial arts are first-class masters, and there are as many as five people at the grandmaster level, and all of them are proficient in fighting.

So although Zhu Wen's guards are not weak, they are also killed by these people, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, let alone protect Zhu Wen, the only thing that surprises Zhang Juhan is Zhu Wen's strength.

Zhang Juhan thinks that with his current martial arts, even if he is no worse than his apprentice Chen Qiuming, who is now famous for being undefeated in the battle with Xiao Dilu, but under the surprise attack, hundreds of swords did not hurt Zhu Wen, seeing that the Praetorian Guard was getting closer and closer, and a large number of grandmasters and masters also came to support, Zhang Juhan used a trick.

Zhang Juhan's tricks are somewhat similar to Chen Qiuming's, they all refer to the principles of "Seven Illusions of Immortality", but the fusion is Zhang Juhan's own martial arts accumulation, and the sword moves are full of the "potential" of annihilation, and there is death but no life.

Zhu Wen was knocked away by Zhang Juhan's sword qi, and Zhang Juhan was also shocked back by Zhu Wen's counterattack, seeing that the group of teenagers he had cultivated was about to fall into a bitter battle, Zhang Juhan decisively sent a signal to retreat.

Although he was born in Mending Heaven Pavilion, Zhang Juhan was not a ruthless person, otherwise he would not have avenged the Tang family that had perished. If he continued to attack Zhu Wen, then that group of teenagers would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Their escape route had already been planned, that is, the endless Luoshui River, jumping into the river and swimming downstream, after successfully getting out of the city, Zhang Juhan did not take the group of people back to Chang'an, but went to Luzhou.

Unlike Xue Yang, Zhang Juhan doesn't care whether Chen Qiuming assists the Shatuo people or the Han people, he pays more attention to the inheritance of the sect, in his eyes, the future of the sect is in Chen Qiuming, and the group of teenagers he cultivated is the best destination only where Chen Qiuming is.

Chen Qiuming and Li Cunmiao were overjoyed by Zhang Juhan's arrival, as soon as they saw Zhang Juhan, Chen Qiuming took Zhang Juhan's arm and entered the door and said: "Master, you let the apprentice find it so hard." ”

Zhang Juhan didn't know why, and after Chen Qiuming explained that he had sent someone to Chang'an to look for him last year, Zhang Juhan sighed: "At your current age, facing Xiao Dilu alone, such a dangerous encounter has been spent by you, and your future in the future must be limitless." ”

Then Zhang Juhan briefly introduced his affairs in Luoyang, and Chen Qiuming asked: "Master, can you judge, how is Zhu Wen's situation?" Is it dead or alive? ”

Zhang Juhan said: "His injuries are definitely not light, but according to my judgment, he should not die, his martial arts are only slightly inferior to mine, coupled with timely treatment, it is unlikely that he will die." I had the heart to make up for another sword, but Zhu Wen had already been protected by several Grandmaster masters who had rushed over, and I lost the opportunity, so that it fell short! ”

Chen Qiuming actually didn't take Zhu Wen's life or death seriously, and said to Zhang Juhan with a smile: "Master don't have to regret it, the apprentice will break him into thousands of pieces sooner or later." ”

Li Cunmiao had already arranged a banquet, and said at this time: "Solve Zhu Wen, a dog thief, where is the use of you, uncle, we juniors will naturally kill him, uncle, please sit down first." ”

Just now, Chen Qiuming had already introduced Li Cunmiao's identity, and he also knew that Xue Yang accepted him as a registered disciple, so Zhang Juhan was also quite close to Li Cunmiao, and said with a smile: "The purpose of my coming here is to entrust these fatherless and motherless children to you, so that they can follow you to make meritorious contributions, understand this matter, I, an old fellow, have no regrets." ”

Then he took out another token and handed it to Chen Qiuming and said: "This is the token of my Mending Heaven Pavilion, I will pass it on to you today, and you will be the new pavilion master of my Mending Heaven Pavilion in the future, you all come here and have seen your senior brother." ”

Chen Qiuming heard that Zhang Juhan wanted to retreat to the rivers and lakes, and pulled Zhang Juhan to sit down and said: "Master, I know that you want to hide and enjoy Qingfu, and no longer want to ask anything, then stay in Luzhou for the elderly, and find you a quiet house alone, and never bother much on weekdays, how about it?" ”

In Zhang Juhan's life, although he did not have a good background, he also encountered family changes when he was young, and he was not allowed to enter the palace as a little eunuch with a net victory. But by chance, he met another inheritance left by the Holy Gate in the Tang Palace, and learned a profound martial art. (I recommend Master Huang Yi's "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Tang Trilogy", interested book friends can take a look.) )

His life was magnificent, he saved the lives of two emperors, experienced countless tragic court battles and countless sinister rivers and lakes, and even once turned the tide and continued the last glory of the Tang Dynasty.

But where would Chen Qiuming be willing, seeing that Zhang Juhan was silent and persuaded: "Master, you are still strong now, and you think you can take care of yourself, but there will be a day when you will grow old, at that time, who will take care of you, and who will give you a pension?" If you hide, how can the disciples find you? ”

"Besides, the last time Xiao Dilu was taught a lesson by Master Xue Yang, it is inevitable that he will not be resentful, in case he comes to Luzhou to retaliate, only you and I can resist the enemy together, can you bear to see that the apprentice is in danger and ignore it?"

Zhang Juhan was finally moved after hearing the last sentence, how did he know that Chen Qiuming's current strength, how could he be afraid of Xiao Dilu? However, Chen Qiuming's disguise was indeed very powerful, and Xue Yang almost didn't notice it at first.

Zhang Juhan sighed and said, "It's up to you!" ”

Chen Qiuming took the token in Zhang Juhan's hand with a smile, and then turned to the dozen or so disciples of the Mending Heaven Pavilion cultivated by Zhang Juhan and said: "Fellow disciples, I am in charge of the master today, and I will include all of you in the Mending Heaven Pavilion and become my official disciples of the Mending Heaven Pavilion. ”

"Now that Luzhou is the time to employ people, you junior brothers will settle down with the master first, and after I discuss with Senior Brother Li, I will definitely settle you and others properly. Take a seat first, eat and drink enough, and then talk. ”

Chen Qiuming and Li Cunmiao sandwiched Zhang Juhan in the middle from left to right, and toasted Zhang Juhan with food one by one, and the sycophant was called smooth, but I don't know if Zhang Juhan would shoot him to death if he knew Chen Qiuming's current strength in the future.

Zhou Dewei, Jia Huan, Wujian and others also toasted Zhang Juhan one after another, coaxing Zhang Juhan to a red face, and in the end, he drunk the top grandmaster Zhang Juhan.

After serving Zhang Juhan to rest, Chen Qiuming and Li Cunmiao took a walk in the courtyard, Chen Qiuming said: "According to the master's judgment and your intelligence network feedback, it seems that Zhu Wen, the dog thief, has definitely escaped, let's continue to hibernate as planned, tomorrow Dragon Boat Festival, do you want to go back to Taiyuan?" ”
