Outside Wan'an City, Jinding Temple.

Xu Rong followed Shi Jie up the stone steps, and soon came to the gate of the red wall and blue tiles.

After Xingjie talked with the monk of Zhike, the two walked inside.

"Helmsman, the monks here are all white and fat, oily, and they seem to be living a good life!"

Xu Rong's eyes swept over the monks in the square, and he couldn't help but speak.

"This is nature, this temple is the largest landlord within a radius of dozens of miles, the acres of land under the mountain are all temples, and the taxes paid are very small, plus all kinds of sesame oil money, these monks are so rich that they are fat, can they not be fat in vain?"

Shi Jie sneered, obviously despising these monks.

"As far as I know, there are more than 100 warrior monks in this Jinding Temple, all of them have at least the strength to refine the skin membrane, if you want to support so many people, how much financial and material resources do you think?"

Hearing this number, Xu Rong was really shocked.

Judging from his experience, a martial artist below the realm of blood exchange will spend at least three or five taels of silver every month, and if the restrictions are lifted, dozens of taels are possible.

And that's just the cost of martial arts training.

There are hundreds of warrior monks in Jinding Temple, and it costs at least four or five hundred taels of silver a month, which is a lot of money.

Relying on the income from the fields alone, it is definitely not enough to supply, and it can only be said that the money for incense is really much.

Xu Rong was a little dumbfounded: "These monks are indeed rich, but Jinding Temple raises so many warrior monks, what do you want to do?" Rebellion? ”

"It must be propaganda to protect the safety of the outside world, and in fact, it is true, after all, the monk is rich, and there must be a lot of bandits who are eyeing here, if there is no force, it will definitely not be able to be saved."

Shi Xingjie smiled, "But that's usual, when the world is in chaos, these hundreds of warrior monks are enough to influence a war, no matter which side they take refuge into, they can be reused." ”

"And, who knows if these monks are hiding?"

What is placed on the surface is enough to deter many people, and if the flesh hidden underneath is exposed, it will not cause fear, but a major threat.

Obviously, these monks also know this truth, and hundreds of warrior monks can still accept it, and any more will attract the attention of the government.

Later, under the guidance of a monk, the two came to a wing room at the back of the temple.

Here, Xu Rong met two people.

The door to the wing room closed, and there were only four people left in the room.

One person was the first to speak: "I haven't seen the deputy helmsman for a long time, I don't know if there is something wrong with this sudden appointment?" ”

"Meixian Order, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I do have some important things to talk to you about today."

Shi Shijie didn't have much politeness in his words, and sat directly at the only table in the room.

"Let's sit down first, don't be nervous, I won't ask you to do anything embarrassing."

The county commander Mei Sheng and the county prince Sun Jing glanced at each other and sat down according to their words.

"I won't hide it, I'll just talk to the two of you straight to the point."

Shi Shijie pointed to Xu Rong next to him, "This is the remnant of another deputy helmsman of our rudder. ”

"Deputy Helmsman Yu looks really young, it should be extremely high in martial arts cultivation, right?"

A flattering smile appeared on Mei Sheng's thin face.

Although the imperial court is extremely unkind to the White Lotus Sect, a cult, and will suppress and arrest it whenever it is discovered, it is even more hateful for those who fornicate with foreign enemies like them.

It is basic to raid the house and exterminate the clan, and the crime is serious to destroy the three clans, and even punish the nine clans.

In addition, as officials, they have no way to break away from the imperial court, unlike the White Lotus Sect, even if they are discovered, it is a big deal to start again in a different place.

Therefore, when the White Lotus Sect had tangible evidence of their smuggling, they could only be pinched.

Otherwise, once these evidences were poked out by the White Lotus Sect, they would have only one way to die.

Xu Rong didn't have a good impression of these two people, and he was originally here to beat them today, so he was not polite.

He said coldly: "I'm just sixteen this year, do you have any opinions on the Meixian Order?" ”

"Sixteen?"

Mei Sheng was shocked in his heart, being able to become the deputy helmsman of the White Lotus Sect at the age of sixteen, if it wasn't for his peerless talent, then he could only have a big backer in the White Lotus Sect.

Either way, it was not something he could offend.

"I didn't know Taishan because I didn't know Taishan, I didn't expect that Deputy Helmsman Yu would be able to become the Deputy Helmsman at such an age, and he is indeed a hero who has been a boy since ancient times."

Gongsun Jing, who had a white face on the side, also complimented: "With a young hero like Yu Deputy Helmsman, why don't the White Lotus Sect develop and grow and reign over the world?" ”

If Xu Rong was really a member of the White Lotus Sect, maybe he would really be stunned by the sycophants of these two people.

It's a pity that Xu Rong only has disgust in his heart at this time.

He said lightly: "Our rudder has just suffered a heavy blow, not to mention the kingship of the world, maybe the capture of Cangqing City has been traced to Wan'an City." ”

Mei Sheng and Gongsun Jing naturally already knew about this matter.

It's just that they didn't expect that this deputy helmsman Yu would speak so bluntly, without concealing it at all, but it caught them off guard.

Mei Sheng hurriedly expressed his determination: "Deputy helmsman Yu rest assured, the affairs of Wan'an City are not yet in charge of Cangqing City, not to mention the fast capture of Cangqing City, it is the demon suppression envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, and you have to be honest with me when you come to Wan'an City." ”

For them, protecting the White Lotus Sect is to protect themselves, otherwise, if the White Lotus Sect is forced to be in a hurry, maybe they will jump over the wall in a hurry and implicate them.

Xu Rong was tired of their groveling appearance, but he still eased his expression: "This is the best, by the way, in the future, the deputy helmsman will be the helmsman, I hope the two of you will not call it wrong again." ”

The two hurriedly said: "It's the fault of the two of us, we've seen Lord Shi." ”

Shi Shijie waved his hand: "Those who don't know are not guilty, about two people came here today, mainly for this matter, our rudder has been hit hard, and we must add it later, so we also need two people to make it convenient, and we must have some actions in our rudder recently." ”

"Don't worry, we will definitely make arrangements, as long as the two of you tell us the general area before you take action, we will ensure that no one will disturb this area."

Gongsun Jing patted his chest quite confidently and said.

For them, this is a matter of one sentence, and when the time comes, they can make an excuse and they can do it.

Shi Jie was quite satisfied with the attitude of these two people, and he touched his rosacea: "Then please two of you, when the chief helm sends a few more masters over, we will definitely find this field." ”

Mei Sheng and Gongsun Jing exchanged glances vaguely, and hurriedly said, "This is what we should do." ”
