In the end, Zhao Shi still bet right, Beiyan didn't even send a letter, and directly put it back to the person who deducted it, and the deducted goods were already divided, and they were directly settled into silver and brought back.

The other party expressed his sincerity, the autumn harvest is over, and it is a waste of food to keep it, Zhao Shi generously sent these hundreds of people out of Longkou Pass.

Beiyan is not benevolent, but there are too many troubles to take care of. Because the goods of the Northern Xia caravan were sent to the Eastern Han Dynasty, this made the Northern Yan detain, and the Eastern Han Dynasty sent people to ask for it.

Who knew that the people who came down from the Beiyan Gate were insatiable, and they raised prices layer by layer, and before they left the capital, the taxes they collected exceeded the money for the goods.

The angry envoy of the Eastern Han Dynasty didn't ask for the goods, and left directly. The Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, because they produce cold silkworms, two Danshi protectors, and one Jindan are waiting to defect to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There is also a Jindan offering that has been kept secret, plus Zheng Ping, a Jindan Great Elder who defected before, and the three Jindan are sitting in the array.

In addition, there are at least four or five Danshi under the door, which is already the best among the five gates. How could Beiyan be so arrogant, sending troops to occupy the two state capitals of Beiyan.

It turned out to be a family, and I had long forgotten that the Eastern Han Dynasty had become a country on its own, and I was dumbfounded when I used to eat and take cards.

The Great Elder personally went to the Eastern Han Dynasty to make peace, and finally promised not to enter the army again, but the two state capitals that had already been occupied must not be returned.

Just after the Eastern Han Dynasty, some farmers rebelled. The reason is that after the return of a deacon in the door, he released the state officials, and in order to honor his teacher, he wantonly collected money.

This year is a disaster year, and if this layer of ground is scraped down, there will be no need to eat, and they will not be able to survive anyway.

There are rebellions every year, there is nothing unusual, a group of mud-legged people have never walked a hundred miles away since they were born, what can they understand? It's nothing more than grabbing some food, and as soon as the army arrives, a batch of them will be killed.

But this time it was different, the rebellious peasants grabbed the grain and withdrew to the mountains before the arrival of the army. The army went into the mountains and chased for several days, but no one could be found, so they had to withdraw their troops, because the food was robbed and the army had no supplies.

A few days after the army withdrew, the rebellious peasants came out of the mountains again, continued to go home to live, and formed a village protection team with young and strong, and the patrols in the city were beaten back when they came.

The army came again, but it still didn't come to fruition. This place is just that, followed one after another, several places that have been severely affected have begun to explode, all of them are a strategy, some are hiding, some are wandering, and they are not in direct contact with the army.

Although a lot of them have been killed, they can be quickly extinguished instead of before, but they have the potential to burn the prairie fire. The most critical problem is that a group of mud-legged people actually have a secret post in front, a route for retreat, a response for flowing, and a behind-the-scenes hand is revealed little by little.

The Great Elder of Beiyan is called Zhou Baotai, and he is already in his early 100s. He rubbed his temples vigorously, and in front of him was a stack of paperwork from all over the place.

It says that the riot was organized by a group of bald people, known as ascetics, who did not eat meat, did not drink, did not wear fancy clothes, did not live in mansions, did not approach women, and took pleasure in enduring hardships.

And the doctrine they propagate is the Orthodox Church. When the defeated soldiers returned, he realized that he was not facing the Red Mountain Mage, but the Zhao Shi who betrayed the Tongtian Sect.

Zhou Baotai carefully studied the Tianzheng Sect teachings sent below, and the terrible thing was that he thought hard for a few days, but he couldn't find any loopholes. Moreover, it can explain all the ghosts and legends in the world now, and even the master of the Tongtian Sect has also been crowned a god in the Tianzheng Sect.

Now not only the lower classes of foolish people believe in it, but even many rich and noble families in the city also say heaven and hell, and this heavenly orthodox saying has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so even if they don't believe it, they will not be provoked.

He remembered the half-grown son who came to see him in Tongtian Mountain a few years ago, and felt that this person was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him far and didn't pay attention to it, and he was already one of the few people who could control the world.

I know my own family affairs, the Zhou family is very xenophobic, even if it is a matter of great talent such as cultivation, if it is not someone who can be related to the Zhou family, I don't think I can get a recommendation, so among the five sects, Yanmen is the weakest.

Moreover, these Yanmen children are all relatives and friends of the Zhou family, and they are extremely presumptuous, and they can't be dealt with seriously. The entire Yanmen is supported by himself.

And he has failed to attack Jindan several times, and he has already broken his mind, I really don't know how long my family can last this week after his death?

After thinking hard all night, he couldn't come up with anything to come up with, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to spread the news outside: he wanted the leader of the ascetics to come to Beijing to meet him.

Yanmen now has four elders in addition to himself, and three are enshrined.

Three of the four elders had just entered Danjiao, and one was just Danlu, and they were all old and frail, so they were of little use.

Among the three offerings, Zhou Ding and Zhou Huang are Zhou Jinghuai's elders, and the two are cousins, both of whom are in the middle of Danjiao.

There is also a Zhou Dantong, who is a side branch of the Zhou family, but he has almost touched the door of Danbing, the most important thing is that he is young, this Zhou Dantong is less than forty, which is the hope of Yanmen.

The three of them heard that Zhou Baotai let out a rumor for the head of the ascetic to come to Beijing to see him, and they thought that he was old and had lost his mind, how could he send meat to the tiger's mouth, isn't this self-defeating? Saying this idiotic thing out, it doesn't make people laugh.

But a few days later, there was really an ascetic monk who came to Beijing with a battle. When the three of them heard this, they all ran to Zhou Baotai's mansion, Zhou Baotai didn't think that this leader could really come, he must have sent someone below.

When the ascetic was brought to the house, a few people looked at it, and a man of about thirty, dressed and barefoot, held a battle with a heavenly character written on it.

Although the clothes were shabby, he looked elegant, came in and looked around, made sure, and saluted Zhou Baotai: "I've seen the Great Elder"

"Are you the head of the group of dervishes?"

"Exactly"

"You're stupid to us, where will the real boss come from?" Zhou Ding sneered.

But the dervish ignored him and stood motionless.

"What about you?" Zhou Ding skimmed the teacup with his hand, and the tea splashed the man's body, but the man still didn't move.

"I said yes, believe it or not, I came at the covenant of the Great Elder, and it has nothing to do with you," the bald man replied.

Zhou Ding was furious, raised his hand, and the man fell down in response, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth in an instant.

A few people were startled at once, they knew that the ascetics who came were all Taoist skills, and Zhou Ding also slapped him casually, only using two or three points of strength, who knew that this person had no Taoism at all, just an ordinary person.

"Look, I'll just say it's impossible to come, this is a little shrimp who sent him to death" Zhou Ding called out to Zhou Baotai.

Seeing that Zhou Ding was doing it without his consent, Zhou Baotai frowned, suppressed his anger and didn't speak, but saw the monk slowly get up and stand up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What did the Great Elder call me for?"

"There have been a few peasant riots recently, but you are involved?"

The dervish replied unhurriedly: "What is the explosion? Has anyone raised a banner to overthrow your Zhou dynasty? Or does someone want to take the state and stand on its own? It's just starving to death and wanting to stutter, how can it be called a riot? ”

"Killing officials and snatching food is not a riot, so what is riot? If it weren't for your Orthodox Sect inside, how would it be as chaotic as it is now? Zhou Huang followed.

"Your Zhou family is in charge of Beiyan, so it is your responsibility to let the vast majority of people have enough to eat.

After they are all full, there will be no one to kill officials and grab food, so if this is a riot, then this is the responsibility of your Zhou family, what does it have to do with my Tianzheng Sect? We Orthodox Christians just want to avoid the death of more people"

"Presumptuous" Zhou Ding shouted, and another palm was split, but was stopped by Zhou Baotai in the air.

"Get out of here"

Seeing that the Great Elder was angry, the three of them stopped talking, and Zhou Ding stared at the monk viciously for a while, then turned around and left. The other two also retreated.

"Are you really the leader of this side?"

"Yes"

"What's your name? What position does it take to become a Celestial Orthodox Christian? What kind of business have you done before? ”

Zhou Baotai saw that although this person had no Taoist skills at all, his demeanor was calm, and he was by no means a pawn who was sent to death, so he interrogated.

"In the Yuting of Xiazong, the Northern Xia Jinshi was born, and he was originally a teaching envoy in the original church, and the ascetics in the south were led by me."

"Oh? has also been a jinshi, but has he ever been an official in Northern Xia? ”

"Done"

"What's the job?"

"Dingdong Hou"

"Dingdong...... Wait? ”
