Chapter 68: Planning
The majestic and solemn Dragon King Temple suddenly becomes lively at night, and the incense hall, which was originally just a place for pilgrims to offer incense and pray, is now full of banquets.
There were many strange people gathered during the banquet, most of them were cultivators in the Qi training period, or ordinary martial arts masters with cultivators' means, all of whom were well-known figures near Longbei.
If Yi Lao Dao came here, he must have more or less heard of the deeds of these low-level monks in Longbei, if it is made into a story, I don't know how many ignorant children yearn for it.
The purpose of these people is roughly the same as that of Yi Lao Dao, which is nothing more than to get on the thighs of the wealthy families in Zi County.
Most people like Yi Laodao want to get rid of the disputes in the rivers and lakes and find a good place for themselves to retire, while others want to take this opportunity to make a fortune and do things for the wealthy families.
"Mr. Hong, we've been waiting here for a long time, when will the head of the Zhang family come over?"
There was a well-known hero in the crowd who consciously took the lead in asking and spoke the hearts of most people.
Mr. Hong had just settled Zhou Qing, and not long after he left Li Langzhong, he was surrounded by a crowd as soon as he came here.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, my master will come later, he is entangled in official business, but he is not as free and unrestrained as the heroes. Please don't be impatient and enjoy your meal first. Mr. Hong opened his arms, and the people around him quieted down, after all, he was recruiting the main person in charge of heroes from all over the world, and everyone was still convinced by his words.
The crowd in the house automatically gave way to a passage, and Mr. Hong followed the road to the main seat of the incense hall, where the statue of the dragon king was placed, and the incense table originally set up in front of him had been moved away and replaced by a red sandalwood bench.
The monks around him had to glance at it from time to time, and this chair was not a rare treasure, but a rare and mundane object, which was worth a lot of money.
Mr. Hong did not sit on the main seat, but stood aside, like a guard, not even qualified to sit. He was already a great figure in the eyes of various heroes, but he didn't expect that he could only stand aside in front of the head of the family, which made many unruly people much more honest.
On the other side of the bench stood a monk, a man of good status, the temple of the Dragon King Temple, wearing a white robe embroidered with gold thread moire.
After a while, there was a noise outside the temple, and the sound of gold and iron armor colliding was endless, and a majestic and stocky figure walked into the room.
Everyone in the house saw that everyone was Ling Ran, and they knew that the person in front of them was Qingxian, the head of the first family of Zijun City.
"Heroes, Zhang is late, please forgive me." Zhang Qingxian arrived before the sound came, and when he came to the center of the incense hall, he stood still, and surrounded him with his hands, this temperament did not look like the head of the family, but like the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, which made this group of strange people quite comfortable.
"The head of the Zhang family has a lot of opportunities, we are all idlers, and it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."
"The head of the Zhang family is polite."
“......”
Many self-proclaimed heroes in the crowd echoed the chorus, and the atmosphere was warm and noisy.
When the voice gradually stopped, Zhang Qingxian laughed and said, "You can't be idlers now, we have something important to do." ”
"What's the matter, even if the head of the Zhang family orders, we will definitely do it."
"That is, the business of the Zhang family master is our business."
“......”
Zhang Qingxian didn't answer immediately, but walked to the main seat and sat down first, his right arm was bent on his leg, leaning forward, with a serious expression, "The big guys all understand, we have set up more than a dozen barracks outside the city, and now they all have good combat effectiveness." I hope that all the heroes present can gather these guerrillas and bravely gather them, and when the time is ripe, they will cooperate with my Zhang family and attack Zijun City! ”
Most of the people present were mixed with the rivers and lakes, which one was not unruly, but he had never heard of such a bold plan, if Tianfu knew about it, a few lives would not be enough to kill. What's more, who is present does not know that the so-called barracks are bandits' dens, and what kind of combat effectiveness they can have.
Zhang Qingxian saw that there was silence in the incense hall, hehe laughed twice, and said, "Don't my heroes and heroes in Longbei have all the guts?" ”
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and the incense hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market, which was noisy.
The next person in the hall said: "The words of the Zhang family master are biased, most of us here are green forest heroes, who hasn't carried a few cases of losing their heads, but the siege of the city is not as usual, if it is known by Tianfu, can you let us go?" ”
"The head of the Zhang family doesn't feel sorry for his subordinates, and wants us to send us to death, and by the way, carry a black pot."
Miaozhu listened to this person's disrespectful words, disliked it in his heart, and wanted to come forward to stop it, but was stopped by Zhang Qingxian.
"This hero has been thinking too much, since I have this plan, I have already arranged everything, and I will not ruin your reputation."
Zhang Qingxian raised his voice and continued: "You are all heroes and heroes, anonymous people have given guidance, and you have been practicing hard for more than ten years to achieve today's achievements, and it is heart-wrenching to lose any of them, let's not do stupid things to send to death." This time the siege of the city is really a feint, you just need to send troops on time and make a show. When I send troops to suppress bandits, it will be a great merit to the sky. If there is a hero who wants to have a good errand in the city, he will share the credit in the future, and my Zhang family will naturally promote him as an official to open the mansion, if you don't want to stay, you will naturally have gold and silver treasures to offer, and the cultivation resources can also be afforded. ”
As soon as everyone summed up, it would not be difficult to make a appearance, so they replied: "We naturally know the financial resources of the Zhang family. Since it's not a real siege, it's better for us not to bring troops and horses, and it's easier to only send a few good players to cooperate? ”
Zhang Qingxian shook his head and said, "If you want to confuse Tianfu, it's best to leave some supporting evidence." It is not easy for the heroes to practice, so naturally they can't let you get into danger, but those bandits and bandits trained outside the city are all untouchables, so let them take the lead and consume more, which can be regarded as a certificate. ”
When everyone heard this, they were very satisfied, and if a few ordinary people died, they could exchange for gold and silver for a splendid future, which was extremely profitable for them.
Wine and meat into the belly, no singing and dancing, the heroes will personally perform, the sword dance tricks emerge in endlessly, very lively, until the second half of the night, the party is over, all parties leave this place one after another.
Seeing the outsiders leaving, Zhang Qingxian said to Mr. Hong: "Previously, the affairs outside the city have always been arranged by Mr. Hong, and this time, Mr. Hong will contact them, and they must cooperate with our actions in the city, if someone does not obey the order, they will kill him." ”
Mr. Hong took the order and left Zijun City directly at night.
Zhang Qingxian and Miao Zhu did not leave, and seemed to be waiting for people here, until a streamer crossed the sky, this is a message for help, Miao Zhu stretched out his hand to beckon the streamer into his hand, read the information, and exclaimed: "Someone has come to save the hostages." ”
"What, didn't you just take the hostages in the middle of the night, and you were found in just a few hours?" Zhang Qingxian's face was filled with disbelief.
"I'm going to find out here, and I'm going to ask the head of the family to explain it to me in front of adults." Miao Zhu did not procrastinate, and found some helpers in the Dragon King Temple and went out of the city and went straight to Li Langzhong's residence.
……
It was still in the incense hall, but this time Zhang Qingxian stood in Mr. Hong's previous position, and he was opposite the temple blessing who had just returned, and under the light of the lights, the cloud patterns on the white robe seemed to have become dim.
Although Miao Zhu was born with a stiff expression, there was no difference from usual, but with Zhang Qingxian's understanding of him, he could still feel that his breath was very impetuous, and it seemed that the rescue of Li Langzhong was not going well.
"How's it going over there?" It was a man in black who spoke, and under the cloak was a void, and his face could not be seen, but judging from his appearance, it could be seen that he was the man in black who fought Chang Yunbai that day.
Zhang Qingxian had already informed the man in black of the hostage's rescue in advance, so he asked.
Miao Zhu didn't wait for words, and knelt on the ground first, "I have failed the expectations of adults and lost people." ”
The man in black didn't seem to care about this matter, and asked, "What about Li Langzhong?" ”
"Killed."
"Can you tell what kind of exercise it is from the injury?"
"Li Langzhong devoured the Gu King, his body was seriously damaged, and he couldn't see his humble position."
"You used the power of the formation?"
"Yes."
Miaozhu oozed cold sweat from his forehead and dripped on the floor, waiting for the punishment of the man in black.
The man in black ignored Miao Zhu, and he seemed to be in a good mood today.
"What's the name of this little friar?"
Zhang Qing on the side looked at his nose and his heart, and he didn't dare to squeak until the man in black asked, and then replied: "You Ziji." ”
"Did you find out who he was?"
"No, the farthest can only be traced back to the Northern Wilderness City, at first I thought he would be a Samadhi True Fire, it should be a monster transformation, but now it is not so confirmed."
The man in black sneered, "Samadhi True Fire is a skill that can only be used by Xuanjing monsters, and his strength has not yet reached that level. But he can achieve such an achievement at a young age, and he has a good talent, and it would be great if he could be taken for himself. ”
"Then I'll find an opportunity to get in touch and give him a generous offer that I can't refuse."
"No, I'll contact him personally. In the past two days, you have released the news, saying in the name of the Zhang family that the treasure of the Dragon King Tower has been found, and a sacrificial ceremony will be held to return the orb. You Ziji has two beads in his hand, and when the time comes, he and the county guard will definitely come over in order to fight the reputation of the Zhang family, and they will be dealt with together. ”
"What about the hostages?"
"Zhou Qing? If you lose it, you will lose it, originally I just wanted to arouse Zhou Mingzhi's sense of resistance, but now the heat is almost over. The man in black paused and said, "Also, remember, all those involved in our plan inside and outside the city, as long as they are not our cronies, will be killed afterwards." ”
Zhang Qingxian nodded and replied, "Yes, father." ”
It wasn't until the man in black had walked for a long time that Miao Zhu stood up, with an expression on his face that he had survived the catastrophe, and Zhang Qingxian on the side felt the same way, and his back was already soaked.
