Taoist?

Zhu Quanzhong thinks there is no problem!

In the Great Song Dynasty, Taoism was the state religion, and the Taoist palace had more power and status than the temple. It is also very common to have Dao soldiers, after all, in addition to the relatively safe big cities in the Great Song Dynasty, the Dao Palaces far away from the cities have more wealth than ordinary land lords, and they will become the target of bandits and bandits, and they must be protected.

As for the anti-thieves, they are worried about disturbing the gods......

Don't be kidding, they have all degenerated into bandits, they don't even want their lives, what faith or not belief are you talking about?

But Zhu Quanzhong can breathe a sigh of relief, after all, it is better to sell it to Taoist temples or Taoist palaces than to bandits and bandits. Taoism is the state religion of the Great Song Dynasty, with many Taoist palaces and Taoist temples, and the number of Taoist priests is also very large. Even the emperor would give himself a Taoist name. The Dao Palace, which has huge wealth and resources, enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and it is not too outrageous to train Dao soldiers.

Daobing, a special group between the family and the militia, is not strong in combat and will not let the imperial court care.

Zhu Quanzhong secretly glanced at Li Kui, and found that the other party's face was as dark as ever, and he couldn't see through his thoughts, but he felt that he had a chance to fool the past, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the Dao Palace needs to train a certain number of Dao soldiers, and these weapons should be the most useful." ”

"How much less armor?"

"Nearly eighty."

After Li Kui asked Liang Shijie, he turned his head and sneered at Zhu Quanzhong: "Do Taoist soldiers need armor?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Quanzhong was dumbfounded, of course Dao soldiers don't need armor. The Dao soldiers are just Daomen disciples who are armed to protect the property of the Dao Palace, and to put it bluntly, they are the strong men who take care of the family's home.

But due to the special status of the Dao Palace, these sold weapons will not make Zhu Quanzhong bear too much responsibility.

Anyway, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, and it is unreasonable to punish Zhu Quanzhong alone. And if the forbidden army is thoroughly investigated, the more than 200,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty in the northwest are afraid that they will all rebel. After all, Jiangmen is greedy for ink, and many times it is not for himself, but for the compensation of the soldiers. Of course, this is only the Western Army, and there is no such possibility in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.

If you don't fight a war, what's the matter?

"The Dao Palace doesn't need armor, but it has purchased armor, which shows that these people have a lot of plans." Bai Shizhong didn't have any hatred for Zhu Quanzhong, but he estimated that Li Kui needed him to hand over the knife, and immediately gave Li Kui an assist.

Li Kui bowed his head and said, "What Lord Bai said is very true, what do you think is this Taoist who bought armor?" ”

Bai Shizhong grinned, and said in his heart: This Master Li is too involved in the play, and he just said this to cooperate with Li Kui. However, Bai Shizhong didn't mind burning the fire a little more, as long as Li Kui was happy, he didn't care if a martial artist was wronged. Besides, if Zhu Quanzhong didn't resell the ordnance, he just wanted to frame him, and he wouldn't have a chance.

"My lord, could it be a rebellion?"

Bai Shizhong stood next to Li Kui and secretly said this.

Zhu Quanzhong's face turned pale with fright, and he exclaimed: "Lord Bai, you have no grudge against your humble position, why do you want to frame your humble position?" ”

But Li Kui touched his chin, ignored Zhu Quanzhong's despair, and said to Bai Shizhong: "It's very possible." Although the Dao Palace needs to be protected, no matter how big the Dao Palace is, it doesn't need five hundred people. If it was really a royal dojo, there would already be a forbidden army to protect it, and there would be no need to buy weapons to protect the dojo. In this way, this thief is likely to use his identity as a Taoist as a pretext to do things that are unfavorable to my Great Song Dynasty behind his back. ”

"My lord, I don't accept my duty!"

"It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, what matters is what the person with the ordnance is going to do. You'd better pray that they don't make trouble lately, or you gangsters won't be able to get rid of anything. ”

Li Kui actually heard that the person who bought the weapons was Bao Daoyi, so he decided that the purpose of these weapons was to plot rebellion. This guy is an old thief, and he hasn't thought about it at all. It's a pity that he can't show his conclusions until he finds the right owner.

"Zhu Gui."

"Humble duty."

"You take someone to investigate the Dao Palace in Jiangning, Changzhou and other places as soon as possible, and find out that the Dao Palace has recently formed Dao soldiers."

"The villain takes the order."

"Cao Fang!"

"The last general!"

"You accept Jiangning's control of the yamen, and the soldiers will guard Zhu Quanzhong and other henchmen."

"My lord, I am unjust!"

"Pull it down."

……

In the following days, there was a lot of noise in Jiangning City, and the forbidden army and the box army were confined to the barracks. And the messengers between Jiangning, Suzhou and Changzhou kept delivering news.

With more and more messages being transmitted, Li Kui has already identified Bao Daoyi's plan. Plant a nail on the edge of Jiangning, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and once there is a chance to cause trouble, you will immediately prepare to seize Jiangning Mansion.

But the hiding place of the demon road has not yet been explored.

On this day, Gongsun Sheng felt the Jiangning Mansion in the dust, but the forbidden army guarding the city gate stopped him, and then the person in charge took the portrait on a sea fishing document and carefully compared Gongsun Sheng for a while. Looking at the big face that was almost like a bearded guest on the sea fishing paper, the corners of Gongsun Sheng's mouth twitched a few times for no reason, it doesn't look like it, do you still use it?

Even so, the other party still stretched out his hand to Gongsun Sheng extremely seriously and said, "Du! ”

Gongsun Sheng didn't know why, so he sent Du Mu up.

The other party glanced at Gongsun Sheng and asked, "What are you doing in Jiangning Mansion?" ”

Gongsun Sheng was stunned, as if he had a hesitation to go to the wrong place. puzzled: "Da Song didn't ask the rules of the monks, why did Jiangning Mansion set this precedent?" ”

"Tell you, the rules of this world have not changed, but the rules of Jiangning Mansion have changed." The other party unceremoniously threw Du Mu to Gongsun Sheng, and then threatened: "Look at what you see, and then see if you are sent to prison." ”

"I ......"

Gongsun Sheng doesn't look at the fact that he is very well cultivated on weekdays, but he is also a violent temper. Otherwise, he would not have befriended Chao Gai and others at the beginning. But he couldn't let him break through the gates.

Just as Ruan Xiaowu was passing by, Gongsun Sheng stood on tiptoe and raised his hand and shouted, "Little Wu." ”

Ruan Xiaowu noticed Gongsun Sheng at this time, and walked to the gate of the city and said to the patrolling captain: "This person is an old friend of an adult." Release. ”

"Offended the Taoist chief."

Gongsun Sheng didn't care about anyone, just followed Ruan Xiaowu into the city, and waited until no one around paid attention, and then asked: "Xiaowu, what happened, why are the city gates under martial law?" ”

"A batch of ordnance was sold in the army, and it was bought by the people of the Daomen. By the way, this batch of weapons is likely to end up in the hands of the demon who fought with you. Ruan Xiaowu didn't say much, just said a rough idea.

Gongsun Sheng said thoughtfully: "What does he want the ordnance for?" ”

"Assemble the Dao Soldiers! Aren't you also a Taoist? Didn't you Taoist temple form Taoist soldiers? Ruan Xiaowu also thought that all Taoist temples had these Taoist soldiers who took care of the home.

But Gongsun Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "I have more than a dozen Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, how can I use any Taoist soldiers?" However, if the ordnance is bought by the demon road, I'm afraid it's really not easy. ”

Gongsun Sheng watched the city full of soldiers walking by, and said in his heart: There is going to be a war.

But he felt a little ridiculous, to deal with a group of demons, would it be necessary to use such a teacher?

He had forgotten that he had been harmed by that demon before.

Speaking of which, compared to the Dao Law, Gongsun Sheng is not false at all, he practices the orthodox Lei Fa. And Bao Daoyi is an evil law. Not to mention, the evil law will definitely be defeated when it encounters the orthodox Dao law. But Gongsun Sheng was sure that if he came to fight with dignity, he would definitely be able to win Bao Daoyi. The problem is that this thief method is used to ask for magic weapons at every turn. It turned out that Bao Daoyi had a golden light sword, which was activated with a magic trick and could take people's heads within 100 steps. It's hard to prevent, and there's no good way to crack it. Gongsun was defeated by this golden light sword.

This made him uncomfortable, and before there was a way to crack it, Gongsun Sheng could only retreat from Bao Daoyi.

But now, he has learned his master's pressure box bottom spell, is he still afraid that Bao Daoyi will not succeed?

However, in the face of Li Kui, Gongsun Sheng was still a little estranged, after all, the whip at the beginning made him never forget it in his life. He had never been humiliated like this when he had grown so big. Especially since he surrendered, informed, and beaten, this is too impersonal.

followed Ruan Xiaowu to the Command Mansion.

Besides, Jiangning is under the control of Zhu Quanzhong. Disaster fell from the sky, first the boat of the female dependents of the family collided with Li Kui's boat. Who knew that such a big official as Li Kui actually lived on a troop carrier, and he was simply a person who lost his civilian officials. But it's just such an inch, so he can catch up.

The next day, he was terrified for days.

Fortunately, Li Kui finally released him, and even the female dependents who were detained with him were also released. But you can only live in Fuchu, and you can't go out.

More than ten days passed, and on this day his men hurried to him and said, "General, it seems that the Praetorian Guard is going to send troops. ”

"This is an opportunity!" Zhu Quanzhong said secretly, although he has not been imprisoned now, it is difficult to solve it. Who knows how Li Kui will arrange him when he returns to the capital?

Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.

Of course, if you want to threaten Li Kui with several times more troops than Li Kui, you don't have to think about it. He didn't have the guts either. But if he took the initiative to ask Li Kui for meritorious service, he should not refuse him.

"Put on the official uniform of Master Ben. Don't ......" Zhu Quanzhong suddenly called out to the servant, hesitated for a while, and then made up his mind: "Bring the armor of the general, and serve the master in armor and helmet." ”

Wearing a helmet and a scarlet cloak, it is heroic and powerful enough, if it weren't for the sweat on the tip of his nose seeping a little too much, his legs and stomach shook and betrayed Zhu Quanzhong's hollowed out body, and there was no flaw at all from other aspects.

Governor's Office.

Looking at his general's mansion, which was occupied by Li Kui, Zhu Quanzhong's eyes showed desolation and sadness. Of course, it was his blessing to be favored by civilian officials in his general's mansion. Even before Zhu Quanzhong moved out of the house, he wanted to leave two dancing girls and concubines for Li Kui, but Li Kui refused.

didn't tie up Li Kui, which really made Zhu Quanzhong's heart unstable.

Especially when he saw Bai Shizhong, who was also a four-grade to be made, he grovelled to slap Li Kui, Zhu Quanzhong suddenly figured it out, he was a fart in front of Li Kui.

"Stop!"

"This young master, I am the commander of Jiangning, Zhu Quanzhong!"

While speaking, Zhu Quanzhong pointed to the three big characters of the Command Mansion on the plaque at the door, wanting to identify himself. The people who stopped him were guards, but it was Wu Song who led the way.

Wu Song recognized the other party as the commander of the Five Grades and the head of the Jiangning Mansion. But so what? Uncle Shi wanted to rub him, and he had the consciousness of being rubbed, and now even Wu Song didn't dare to offend him. And what about Wu Song? There was a five-rank general in front of him who saluted him, and he suddenly had a kind of soul sublimation Su Shuang.

He Wu Song, whose parents died when he was a child, is a bitter child who grew up in bitter water, and he can have today!

Wu Song's personality is arrogant and arrogant to the powerful, but he has no arrogance for ordinary people. But this is not because of his character, he is arrogant to the powerful, because he feels that he has the ability, even if he sells his life to others, he needs to find a master, so as not to bury his martial arts. Of course, it doesn't count with Li Kui, he came to hug his uncle's thigh, but he didn't think about it, and let him hug it.

Although Wu Song looked at the gate, the prestige of the Military Command Bureau could not be lost. said to Zhu Quanzhong without hesitation: "My lord, no one will see me, you go back!" ”

"This little brother, Zhu just wants to ask, is Master Li going to send troops?" Zhu Quanzhong was not discouraged, and took out a piece of silver from his waist and stuffed it into Wu Song's hand.

Wu Song said with a displeased face: "I didn't mean it...... Alright, I'll ask you. ”

After feeling the weight of the silver, Wu Song felt that Zhu Quanzhong's sincerity was quite sufficient, and he had the heart to help him say a few words. Of course, if there is no silver, that's two things.

After a while, Wu Song returned to the door and said to Zhu Quanzhong, "Your Excellency will let you in." ”

"Zhu Quanzhong, the ruler of Jiangning Mansion, has seen the adult, and he is willing to be the pawn of the adult, so that the adult can drive him."

While speaking, Zhu Quanzhong knelt on one knee and said loudly to Li Kui.

Li Kui sat behind the copywriter and looked at the official document sent by Cai Jing from the capital. After waiting for a cup of tea, Li Kui raised his head and said, "Do you know what this official is going to do?" ”

"This ...... Xu is to suppress bandits. "Zhu Quanzhong has not been idle recently, and inquired about his preference for not killing Li Kui, and suppressing bandits may be one of Li Kui's few preferences.

"Tell me what you think."

While speaking, Li Kui threw the information that Zhu Gui heard in front of Zhu Quanzhong.

Zhu Quanzhong picked up the fold with a calm face, and after reading it, he was shocked, and insisted on saying: "My lord, the demon road has a bad heart, and it will definitely become a big trouble for the people of Jiangnan, and I am willing to lead the forbidden army of Jiangning Mansion to exterminate this demon road." ”

"You-"

Being stared at by Li Kui's contemptuous eyes, Zhu Quanzhong felt a trace of humiliation. Although he has never been on the battlefield, and the army also has a bad record of eating empty salaries, the forbidden army of Jiangning Mansion is not weak.

Just one demon Dao, even if five hundred Dao soldiers have been trained, what about this?

If he can't even deal with these Taoist soldiers, how can he be a general with a shy face?

Zhu Quanzhong saw that Li Kui didn't trust him, and said loudly again: "I am willing to issue a military order." ”

Li Kui nodded thoughtfully and said, "But!" ”

He didn't worry about putting Zhu Quanzhong in Jiangning City, this guy had a criminal record, although it was unlikely that he would rebel. But it is an unstable factor, and you must stay by your side to rest assured.

Zhu Quanzhong breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Li Kui would go to suppress the bandits if he didn't take him, which would make him worry that Li Kui wouldn't trust him. Today's trust is reserved, but it's better than nothing.

In the mountain village, 500 people were sweating and practicing slashing, and the shouts rang out.

Suddenly, someone hurriedly came and said to the Taoist priest at the head: "Master, it's not good, there is a large army in Jiangning Mansion to encircle and suppress us." ”

"How many people are coming?" Bao Daoyi said with a solemn face.

Apprentice Zheng Mojun said: "Listening to the news from the disciples, there are 1,500 people. I heard that there is also a forbidden army from the capital. Master, why don't we go! ”

That's it, you want him to avoid it? Don't even think about it. At this moment, he had a decision in his heart.

"Let's go? Why go? If you want to drive me away, not only will you not go, but you will also let the heroes of the world see how powerful I am Bao Daoyi, go, pass on the order of the division, and the Taoist soldiers will gather these fattened officials. "Bao Daoyi is a bold man, who once faced Gongsun Sheng and Hua Rong, and was able to escape safely. His own strength is very strong, and with the assistance of the Taoist soldiers, if it was the forbidden army of Jiangning Mansion before, more than a thousand people would really not be able to help him.

Now that he has 500 soldiers in his hands, will he still be afraid of the forbidden army?

Not only will he not leave, but he will also rely on this opportunity to make a name for himself and become a hero.
