Nangong Tong is resting in the Tianzi No. 1 room of the best and most expensive inn in Tianyang City, and what sits under him is a white tiger skin specially sent by the owner of Baili Water Village, and the household utensils in the room are all specially purchased and sent by the gang leaders in Yangming City, and they also smoke incense specially brought from Jingzhou's hometown, even if it is far worse than Nangong Family's own various residences, there are few maids with him, and it is definitely a first-class comfortable residence in Tianyang City now.

But Nangong Tong is having a headache now.

Of course, it's not that he's sick, since he was a child, countless precious medicinal materials have been eaten and bathed under the guidance of famous doctors, and although he hasn't entered the house, it can be regarded as a Nangong family heirloom kung fu with some heat, and the general wind and cold are still far from invading the body, he is just annoyed now, he has never been so annoyed, and it can even be said that in his more than 20 years of life, he almost didn't know that this person was alive and still had such troubles. Before that, he thought that the most troublesome thing in the world was how to get rid of the girl in the Red Smoke Pavilion who had been in the spring breeze, and how to deal with the jealousy between his beautiful maids.

Toto's knock sounded at the door, and he barely said in a steady voice, "Is it Brother Li? ”

It was Li Shishi who came in. The Li family is also one of the families, but it is not as large as the Nangong family, and the foundation is not on the rivers and lakes. In comparison, this stocky young man does not have the dazzling demeanor of Nangong Tong, but he is as heavy, capable and practical as a grinding plate. After he came in, he didn't have much courtesy, and said directly to Nangong Tong: "The letter has been sent." It's just that it is not a matter of a day or two to choose a suitable person to take on this supervisory position, and it seems that it will take a few more days to stay here. ”

"How many more days?" Nangong Tong felt that his head was really getting more and more painful. "This Yangmingcheng is only a small county town, our progress is already very slow, and we have to delay time here, I don't know how long it will take for the rest of the trip to be completed?

"If you pick one at random now, you will only have a bigger hand tail in the future," Li Shishi spread his hands. "Of course, we are still in charge of Brother Nangong all the way, if Brother Nangong really feels that we have to hurry. We can also deal with it for the time being, and then we can clean it up later. ”

"Then pick and choose" Nangong Tong waved his hand, only to feel that he had a headache and almost had no strength to speak. It was just a matter of cleaning up some scattered small gangs, and all the preparations were ready, just waiting for the good thing to start the prestige and reputation of the Righteous Dao League along the way, but it didn't go well, and it took a lot more time than expected, so how could it be justified with Cousin Ji'er? Those brothers and uncles in the family would inevitably underestimate him. What's more, this is completely contrary to his original intention of coming all the way.

"No way. It is precisely because this Yangmingcheng is so small that it is rare to find someone like Zhang Shenhe who is as knowledgeable, interesting, flexible, and able to see the situation clearly. If you really find someone who doesn't have a brain. If you really have to rely on one breath, it's troublesome. Although this Yangming City is small. But the two iron mines outside the city can also have a lot of output, and the gangs of all sizes are fighting for the oil and water in each link, and Zhang Shenhe showed that he was willing to offer a total of fifty percent of the profits, indicating that he has the vision to know the severity. One of the two mines is an industry sent by the Songshan faction, and the other is involved with the other courtyard of Longhu Mountain. Senior Brother Zeng of the Kongtong faction is quite angry, I think maybe Zhang Shenhe is still a secret son planted by the Kongtong faction, but we haven't noticed it in advance."

Like a fairy, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who don't eat or drink and fight with swords to eliminate demons in all directions are imaginary by the nerds who sit in the study, every force on the rivers and lakes. Each gang represents a group of interests that can feed people. And the mutual game and involvement between these countless large and small interests are more complicated than ten times and a hundred times. The open and covert struggle between various gangs and factions means that the balance and smoothness between these forces and interests have not yet been reached.

The rivers and lakes of the Central Plains 75 years ago were a smooth and harmonious scene, and the ownership of the interests of the great and small interests of the Great Qian, after decades of precipitation after the founding of the country, each had its own owner, which waterway and which mine belonged to which gang, and which gang belonged to which larger sect family behind it, these are all clear, although it is not without fighting, but the disputes have been resolved through consultation and negotiation before they have expanded. It's just that after the military disaster that permeated the Central Plains, the vitality of the various sect families was greatly damaged, and some even died, and the rest could only firmly guard their own family to restore their vitality, and those scattered branches and leaves no longer had the strength to maintain, so they led the gangs to stand up and fight.

The Righteous Path Alliance, which has been established today, is precisely in response to the current situation. If you can rebalance and redistribute the various small gangs and factions on the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, there will be fewer fights. But how to straighten out and how to distribute is a more profound question. Sorting out the order of the rivers and lakes and promoting the right way of the rivers and lakes, of course, we cannot order for the sake of order, and the right way for the sake of the right way. The joining of famous families, as well as the young children of these sect families, are gathered together, not because of a lively picture.

Of course, Nangong Tong is clear about these, but how to operate the specific details, he really has no interest at all, anyway, the result has already been discussed and arranged, just leave it to the people below, one or two small places like Yangmingcheng, even if the total income of all the gangs is not necessarily as big as his expenses, let alone the dividends that have to be thinned on the heads of all parties, he can't find the slightest reason to work hard.

So now listening to Li Shishi's words, Nangong Tong just frowned and waved his hand, signaling Li Shishi not to say anything.

Seeing that Nangong Tong had no patience, Li Shishi also stopped, and after standing and thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Brother Nangong, the matter of the Bright Moon Fairy"

"Mingyue, what's wrong with Miss Mingyue?" Nangong was stunned. Although he slapped Zhang Shenhe to death in front of the county magistrate, he didn't need to say anything about himself. It's just that Mingyue's name of being born in the Pure Land Zen Monastery can gently expose this matter. Nowadays, the royal family is extremely dependent on the Pure Land Zen Temple, the Queen Mother and the Queen go to the Zen Temple on the fifteenth day of each month to live in the Zen Temple, ask for the Buddha to pray for blessings, and the fairy who came out of the Zen Temple casually slapped to death a gang leader full of evil What is it, no need for others to remind, the county commander will give that Zhang He'an a charge of disturbing the county government and attempting to hold the court officials hostage.

"Brother Nangong also knows. We have traveled along the way, and there have been many twists and turns because of Miss Mingyue" Speaking of this, Li Shishi's face couldn't help but feel a little depressed and indignant. Their twists and turns along the way, basically as today, from this maverick Buddhist female cultivator, this time the Qinghe gang leader who was finally selected to slap to death is not the most headache, last time almost beat the two Kunzhong of the Hengshan faction to cripple, a few words will Hengshan Miaoyin girl to hide her face and cry They were originally thirteen people, and five people have left because of the Mingyue girl.

Speaking of which. Nangong Tong couldn't help but sigh, and subconsciously stroked his forehead: "Miss Mingyue cultivates Buddhism diligently, and her heart is like a mirror. There is no room for filth in the eyes. It's really a bit out of place when facing these mundane things."

"Then let's find an excuse and ask her to stay away for a while. If it weren't as troublesome as today, I don't know how much more there would be in the future. ”

Nangong Tong thought about it, shook his head, and said slowly: "The Pure Land Zen Academy has never been very involved in the battles of the rivers and lakes, and this time sending Miss Mingyue to join our Righteous Path Alliance is a rare statement. How can we avoid it because of the slightest twist and turn?"

"It turns out that Miss Mingyue came to join the Righteous Path Alliance at the behest of the Zen Academy?" Li Shishi was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Nangong Tong frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said with a slightly unfathomable wry smile: "The relationship here is quite complicated, and the involvement is both deep and wide, and I only know a rough idea." Say it casually here, Brother Li, you don't have to ask any more questions."

"Oh," Li Shishi nodded as if he suddenly realized. The Nangong family and the shadow guard are deeply involved. Of course, he knows some secrets that others don't know very well, and if it involves the royal family and the Zen Academy, of course he should ask less. He frowned and hesitated for a while, revealing a look that he didn't know whether to say or not, but finally said: "It is reported that Miss Mingyue has been in the same room with the Qingfeng Dao Master of the Maoshan Sect every night these days, and they are all young lonely men and widows, Brother Nangong, do you say there will be this?"

Nangong Tong's expression stiffened slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, without any surprise or surprise, and said with a faint smile: "Never." Miss Mingyue has exquisite Buddhism and noble virtues, and I heard from my cousin that the head of Qingfeng Dao has also been personally praised by He Jinzhi of Maoshan Mountain, and her heart is clear, which is very out of people's reach. The two of them have experienced life and death together, and it is common for them to be closer. As monks, they don't care about the eyes of others, and it's because they are thinking about it, so why should we be too careful?"

"It's still Brother Nangong who is broad-minded and has a good vision. Li Shishi arched his hand, his face showing admiration. "With Brother Nangong in charge of the overall situation, then I don't have much to worry about, so I'll go and discuss new candidates with those gang leaders. ”

"Then there is Brother Lao Li. Nangong Tong didn't stand up, just sat upright and arched his hands.

Listening to the footsteps of Li Shishi's departure, Nangong Tong pursed his lips slightly. Speaking of these tedious and mundane matters, this child of the Li family seems to be an expert, and he just leaves these things to them to deal with. The Li family is a serious Confucian official family, but this Li Shishi has just thrown himself into the thick soil gate to walk the road of the rivers and lakes, which shows that most of them are also side branches who are not very proud. It is the poor and the lowly that can do a lot of contemptible.

As for the questions he said, they are all nonsense in Nangong Tong's opinion. Let Miss Mingyue take refuge for a while, then what is he taking these children of the Righteous Path Alliance all the way to show off his might?

It's not that Nangong Tong has never seen beautiful women, in fact, he has seen more beautiful women who have been intimate and lingering than there are more men in the world. It's not that he hasn't seen beautiful women who disdain him, but those who either pretend to be indulgent, and finally have to roll on the bed with him to reveal their true form, or they are pretentious and high-minded, and only young heroes who are born poor and full of righteousness and full of unlimited potential are worthy of their own kind of best, which in turn makes him lose all his appetite.

And for Miss Mingyue, he doesn't even know how to classify it. At first, he was just curious, but the more time he spent in contact, the more he became a little caught in it. The kind of lively, agile and untouched child who comes purely from the heart, without the slightest embellishment, seems to have no desires and no desires, and has a deeper level of refinement. Mixed with these and that beautiful appearance, Nangong Tong gradually felt that there was something in his heart that had never appeared before.

Nangong Tong did not deliberately show his pursuit of flattery, and the pride of the man of the Nangong family did not allow him to do so, and even thought so. And when it comes to the children of a family at his level, they will understand that women don't need to chase, once they lower their posture, even if they catch up, they may not be really yours, they just need to be their best and most powerful. The most beautiful side is displayed, which can naturally attract women to their side. If you can't, you're not good enough. Not strong enough. Not pretty enough. That's why he received this task of recovering the small gangs in Jingzhou from He Xi'er, but he originally thought that it was a majestic journey to show the demeanor of the children of the family, but because of this bright moon girl, it became a headache.

Moreover, Miss Mingyue and that Qingfeng Dao Master are too intimate. Whether there will be anything to do with Li Shishi's worries Nangong Tong is not worried at all, he has been able to tell at a glance whether a woman is a virgin or not since he was fifteen years old. He just didn't understand why he ignored everyone. Turning a blind eye, but being so intimate with that Qingfeng Dao Chief?

Is there something critical that has been overlooked? Is there a need for some special methods? Is it necessary to think about it from a different angle? Nangong Tong rubbed his forehead, which was already painful.

###

"Daoist Xia, I really don't want to be with those people anymore. Those people are not good people. That Nangong Tong took them to say something righteous, although I don't know what it is, but I know that they are all deceiving. ”

Mingyue sat on the eaves of the high Taoist temple. A white dress seemed to be coated with a layer of golden brilliance in the light of the setting sun, making her look like a beautiful sculpture with spirituality. The pair of jade-like little feet were still hanging on the ground, which inexplicably reminded Xiao Xia of what she looked like when she first saw her, but at that time she was still a demon who was besieged and killed by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but now she is already a well-known righteous fairy.

No matter what kind of thoughts she had in her heart, Xiao Xia had to admit that looking at Miss Mingyue was really a very refreshing thing. Xiao Xia retracted his gaze, and with this somewhat leisurely mood, he drew a cloud pattern on the rune paper with his fingertips stained with blood essence powder, and with the guidance of his divine thoughts and breath, the erect soul vitality and several other five element vitality that had already existed on the rune paper were mixed together, and after blooming a burst of brilliance, it quietly precipitated on the rune paper according to the structure of the cloud pattern.

"There are not many good people who can mix in the rivers and lakes, and those disciples of the great sect of the family who were sent to supervise the division of forces are of course even more secretly thinking about ghosts and ghosts. Xiao Xia replied casually as he pocketed the freshly drawn talisman. Now he was almost effortless to draw this kind of middle and third grade talisman, which he would not have dared to think of a few months ago. The trip to Maoshan was guided by He Jinzhi, and the great benefit made him a little fluttering for a while.

This is the Taoist temple outside Yangming City, it is a branch under the command of Longhu Mountain, and it also belongs to the Zhengyi Sect, and he can naturally live here as a disciple of Maoshan Mountain, and now with the prestige of the Zhengdao League, the host of the view also specially assigned a small courtyard to him, which is regarded as a gesture of treating distinguished guests, and even the Mingyue girl has not squeaked when she lives here by the way. These were also the treatments he never dared to ask for when he was selling talismans everywhere before. I have to admit that hugging a thigh is indeed a very convenient thing for walking the rivers and lakes.

"Then let's go. Ignore these people, let's continue to Yunzhou. Mingyue jumped off the roof.

Xiao Xia smiled bitterly, how could he just leave at this time. At that time, he didn't have any concerns, but now he has a lot of favors on his back, he shook his head and said, "Not now, at least we have to get rid of that snake man." ”

"Nonsense, Daoist Xia, even you are deceiving people. Mingyue came to her, staring at Xiao Xia with a pair of big eyes, and her dark eyes were so clear that Xiao Xia was a little afraid to look at each other. "You didn't dare to leave because you were afraid of that bad guy at all. ”

"E" Xiaoxia was speechless. And that's true. The snake road man who became a rat crossing the street has disappeared so far, and it doesn't seem to be much of a concern. Now all he cares about is inheriting a big favor from He Jinzhi. He Xi'er can't tell whether it's big or small, so he has to help with the matter of the Righteous Dao Alliance.

Mingyue stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Xia's hand, the little hand that had just slapped a person's head into her chest in the morning, but it was soft as cotton and smooth as fat, Mingyue's expression was a little rare and solemn, and she actually seemed to sigh softly: "Daoist Xia, let's go." If you stay with those people for a long time, it will gradually become bad. ”

Xiao Xia tilted his head and thought about it, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Mingyue dropped Xiao Xia's hand with some annoyance, turned around and jumped on the eaves and sat down, turning her head to look at the sunset in the distance and ignoring him.

Xiao Xia sighed slightly. He also knew that Mingyue was very unhappy to be mixed in this righteous path alliance with him these days, those tricks and tricks, talking about the scene above, and all kinds of insidious means below, he himself was already familiar with it, and he was supposed to accompany him to watch the play, but Mingyue also came in. Even if it was just for her to watch all the way, it would be very uncomfortable for her. But he really can't just leave now, hugging someone else's thick leg and getting someone else's convenience. That can only follow the pace of others. This is the people in the rivers and lakes. In spite of oneself.

This is the reason why He Jinzhi said that he envied an unrestrained wild Taoist priest. Xiao Xia suddenly understood now. Looking at the angry bright moon on the eaves, Xiao Xia was also a little excited, and he was also in no mood when he planned to continue drawing a few talismans.

At this time, a burst of footsteps came from far and near, and it didn't take long for two men to appear at the door of this small courtyard, one was a middle-aged man with a big face. One is a short and fat man who is wrapped in gauze wounds all over his body but still has to walk strongly. Both of them, Xiao Xia, remembered that they were the two leaders of the Ten Thousand Tigers Gang.

Seeing Xiao Xia and Mingyue in the courtyard, the big-faced man immediately clasped his hands into fists and bowed down: "Song Wanhu, the leader of the Ten Thousand Tigers Gang, Luo Yuanhuan has seen Qingfeng Dao Chang and Mingyue Fairy." ”

"You're welcome. Song Gang Leader. Gang Leader Luo, why did you come to us?" I wasn't too surprised that these two people found Xiao Xia here. It's no secret that they're here, and they've already been approached by two small gang leaders who have tried to get some sort of connection. "The two of us are not members of the Righteous Path Alliance, if it is for the official business of the Righteous Path Alliance, the two of us should go to the city to find someone else. ”

The big-faced man named Song Wanhu bowed deeply to Mingyue again, his face full of gratitude: "The two of us just came here to thank Fairy Mingyue for taking action today." That Zhang Shenhe is an unscrupulous and insidious villain, if he is allowed to have the righteous path alliance to rely on, I really don't know how many people will be killed! Thanks to the bright moon fairy, she killed that traitor and saved my Song family from being poisoned, and Song really didn't know how to be grateful!"

Mingyue just glanced at it and turned her head away, obviously not having the slightest interest in this grateful Song gang leader.

Xiao Xia could also see that the look of gratitude on Song Wanhu's face was not fake, so he walked over and said the scene with a smile: "Our righteous path alliance should have been hoeing and punishing evil, this is just a matter of duty. The day before yesterday, we all saw that Zhang Shenhe was indeed an unscrupulous villain, and Brother Nangong and the others were just deceived by some small means for a while. I also hope that the Song gang leader will have the right path in his heart in the future and contribute to my Central Plains rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Song has always regarded himself as the righteous way of the rivers and lakes, and the livelihoods in the gang are also above board, even if he occasionally makes a move, he tries to only kill those who are full of evil. In the future, I will be self-motivated every day, and there will be no slackness. If you really have the opportunity to do your best to promote the right path in the Central Plains, you will not hesitate to break your bones. ”

Song Wanhu's face was full of righteous indignation, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and then he walked a few steps, took out a stack of silver tickets from his waist and handed them to Xiao Xia with both hands: "Qingfeng Dao Chang and Mingyue Fairy saved my Song family, and they should have been cows and horses to repay their bodies, but the two of them were from famous families, and their cultivation status was countless times higher than Song's, and the big things they did were beyond Song's power. ”

Xiao Xia smiled, it seems that this seemingly rough Song gang leader is also a good person, saying that he is grateful to Mingyue, but he sent the money to himself, obviously he has already inquired about the relationship between the two of them from nowhere. Looking at it in a flash, there are hundreds of taels, if it is placed in the past, it is naturally disrespectful, but at this time and that time, the current talisman materials can be used in the Taoist temples under the command of Maoshan everywhere, and there is no shortage of money, if you want to let other people in this righteous path alliance know, it is not good-looking on the face. And listening to the words of this Song gang leader, it seems that he is also interested in the position of supervisor of the Righteous Dao Alliance. He didn't stretch out his hand, just shook his head and said: "Miss Mingyue is just doing it easily, why should the Song gang leader be polite, these silver are also earned by your brothers, we must not accept it, otherwise we will not become those thugs who collect money for others." ”

"Yes, yes, Song is abrupt! It's that Song's vision is too shallow, too vulgar! Too vulgar! He actually regards the Bright Moon Fairy and Qingfeng Dao Chang as villains like us. Song Wanhu hurriedly took the silver ticket back, and looked like he was eager to slap himself a few times immediately. "But the Bright Moon Fairy and the Qingfeng Dao Chang are running for the righteous path of the Central Plains rivers and lakes, how can there be no one in front of the saddle and behind the horse to do those trivial things?

Before the words fell, the fat man who was tied with gauze like a dumpling knelt down in front of the bright moon on the eaves in the distance, and his big round eyes were filled with a light that was half dementia and half excited, as if he was crying bitterly while howling: "Villain Luo Yuanhuan, I wish to follow the fairy all my life, but the fairy is sent, even if he goes to the soup and fire, his body is broken, his body is broken, his body is gone, and he will not be relieved!"

This only howled Xiao Xia's eyes widened, and he couldn't close his mouth with his mouth wide open. He had the impression that he had seen this strangely dressed fat man in the county government, as if he was such a half-idiot and half-stupid at that time, and he still stood there stupidly and didn't move when he came today, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, so he didn't care, he couldn't imagine that he would suddenly howl out such earth-shattering words.

And it is said that the kind of people who can bow their heads at first sight, and are willing to be cows and horses, are all heroes who swallow the world and swallow the world, the king is boundless, and there is no match in ancient and modern times, how can Miss Mingyue have such momentum?

Even Song Wanhu, who was next to Luo Yuanhuan, opened his mouth wide and looked at him in astonishment. Although he knew the meaning of the three masters before, and he really persuaded him for a while, he couldn't persuade him to come with him, but he didn't expect that it would be like this.

Mingyue, who was still sulking on the eaves, finally turned her head to look at the strange fat man who was kneeling and crying, her figure flashed, she was already standing in front of Luo Yuanhuan, with her back to the sun, and a smile on her face that was more dazzling than the sunset, as if looking at a somewhat strange, cute, funny animal: "What did this person say? ”

Luo Yuanhuan, who was kneeling, trembled with excitement, and a pair of big round eyes exposed outside the gauze were already rolling hot tears down the frame. It seems that just for this sentence and this smile, he is really willing to go to the soup and break his bones.

###

Three days later, in a controversy, Nangong and Shaoxia, the leaders of the Zhengdao Alliance, finally finalized the position of supervisor of Yangmingcheng, not by anyone in the alliance, but by Song Wanhu, the leader of the Ten Thousand Tigers Gang, who was not familiar with anyone.

Of course, everyone has a lot of complaints about this decision. Although choosing someone who doesn't belong to any of them is a means of balancing all parties, it doesn't belong to any of them, that is, no one can get benefits, and Song Wanhu's gang leader doesn't seem to be a person who can fully understand the meaning of this position. However, Nangong Tong immediately waved his pen and said that he would share the benefits that originally belonged to the Nangong family among several other families, so he quickly calmed down the dissatisfaction, and everyone quickly packed up and began to rush to the next place.

In addition, there was a small episode, and Luo Yuan, the three leaders of the original Ten Thousand Tigers Gang, also hung far behind the team and followed all the way. I heard that he volunteered to be Miss Mingyue's long-term follower, but Miss Mingyue didn't agree, but she didn't seem to refuse. There were a lot of troubles around this Bright Moon Fairy, and the people in the alliance didn't want to meddle in things, so they let this voluntary long-term entourage follow.
