"Master Shen, what is this?"

"It seems to be the seal of Fang, could it be the seal of the Dongshan firm?"

"It doesn't look like ......"

In the face of everyone's speculation, Shen Dongshan smiled slightly, then respectfully held the official seal in the palm of his hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "This is the official seal of the second-class member of the imperial court, under the command of the prime minister of the Eastern Mansion, and the squire!"

"What?"

As soon as Shen Dongshan's words came out, he immediately attracted an exclamation of disbelief.

"This ......," Teng San Shihu wondered, "is this really the official seal of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"It's genuine!" said Shen Dongshan.

Miao An looked at the official seal in Shen Dongshan's palm incomprehensibly, and wondered, "When did Master Shen become an official?"

"This official seal is not owned by Shen. Shen Dongshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's the Dongfu Squire Jia's." Shen only said that he was entrusted by someone, and the person he entrusted was Jia Shilang. ”

Yin Baimei said in a deep voice: "All the people present today are fellow martial artists, what is Master Shen doing with an official seal?"

Zuo Hongxuan echoed: "What does Master Shen's generous statement just now, what do you mean? Could it be that this Jia Shilang also taught you?"

The breeze waved lightly in front of the dust, and said lightly: "Master Shen, please speak up if you have something to say." The people in the rivers and lakes are very straightforward, not as secretive as you merchants. ”

"Now that you have spoken, Shen should get straight to the point. Shen Dongshan said with a smile, "It's really not a secret! Shen Mou's trip was entrusted by Jia Shilang to convey an imperial edict to you. ”

"What edict?"

"Zhao'an Edict!"

"Shhh

Shen Dongshan's words immediately caused an uproar in the martial arts field.

For a while, the martial arts heroes were all dissatisfied, first there was a dead silence, and then they exchanged heads and whispered. In the end, the quiet scene was completely broken by the noise one after another.

In an instant, the entire martial arts field was in chaos.

"Zhao'an, Zhao'an! That's a good thing, the court just wants us to be the substitutes for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials!"

"Hey, we're not bandits, what kind of people are they recruiting?"

"Yes, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is as timid as a mouse, he himself is cowering in the Golden Palace, enjoying the blessings of all the people, but he wants us to die for him?

"Thinking about the Yue family army and the Yang family army in the past, they all died tragically in the intrigue of the imperial court, if we are recruited, won't we be killed alive?

"Shen Dongshan, I thought you were a loving and righteous businessman, but I didn't expect that you, like other businessmen, were all lackeys of the imperial court!"

"Lao Tzu is living a happy life now, the court itself is incompetent, and wants to exchange our lives for their survival, no way!"

"Yes! I'm used to waiting for the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I can't stand the constraints of the court. Master Shen, you should go back and forth from where!"

"Hypocrisy, what we say is always better than what we sing! Is it true that we are three-year-olds?"

......

Suddenly, the crowd was boiling, and complaints arose. Shen Dongshan stood in the middle of the scene, being accused and slandered from all directions, and his face changed color, so it was not exciting.

At this moment, with the same ugly face as Shen Dongshan, there is also Liu Xunyi, who is hiding behind the crowd and not saying a word.

Although Liu Xunyi didn't know whether Shen Dongshan's Zhao'an today was true or not, at least he could perceive the views and attitudes of the martial arts heroes towards the Great Song Dynasty in advance through this matter.

Now it seems that the resistance of the people in the rivers and lakes to the imperial court is far stronger than Liu Xunyi imagined.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Jia entrusted Shen to come here, in fact, it is also a good intention. Listen to me......"

It's a pity that everyone didn't pay any attention to Shen Dongshan's defense, and his voice was drowned in the wave of anger again and again.

"Master Shen, you can point out the serious culprit and resolve our misunderstanding with each other, I am really grateful. Jin Fuyu's voice suddenly sounded in the noise, and as soon as he spoke, the noisy scene suddenly quieted down, "It's just that I'm far away in the rivers and lakes, and I really have no interest in the high court." I also asked Master Shen to go back and tell Jia Shilang, saying that we and other grass people are really unbearable to take on the big responsibility, so it is difficult to obey the fate. ”

"But ......"

"Not bad!" Without waiting for Shen Dongshan to answer, Luo Tianjin suddenly spoke, "Luo knows that Master Shen has his own difficulties, so we won't embarrass you today, just now I just want to be right about things and not people, and I hope that Master Shen Haihan." ”

"Everyone, listen to me!" Shen Dongshan seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "Shen knows that all the leaders are heroes in the world and cannot be controlled by others. Listen to me, the imperial court is by no means a constraint, but to unite all factions of the martial arts to form an impregnable and indestructible force in the rivers and lakes. In this way, whether it is a martial arts heretical religion or a strong foreign enemy, we can attack and defend them head-on. If everyone goes their own way, once the fight starts, it will inevitably be chaotic......"

"Master Shen, the current situation is indeed as you said, internal and external troubles, and it is precarious. Xuan Ming said respectfully, "But we are people in the rivers and lakes, and we should use the methods of the people in the rivers and lakes to solve troubles, and we will never serve the court." ”

"Dare to ask Master Xuanming, what other strategies do you have at the moment besides being loyal to the imperial court?"

"This ......"

Being forced by Shen Dongshan aggressively, Xuan Ming was unable to be thoughtful for a while, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

A look of pride flashed in Shen Dongshan's eyes, and he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Everyone, time is running out, if you delay it any longer, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future......"

"Who says there's no way?"

Before Shen Dongshan's words fell, Yin Baimei suddenly smiled and said, "There is another strategy, which will definitely ensure the stability of the overall situation of my Central Plains martial arts." Don't say that the three sects of Saibei are coming, even if they are in the same stream as the four great pagan sects, we can be fearless and sit back and relax!"

"I would like to hear the high theory!" Shen Dongshan said in surprise.

"Now, our biggest concern, and the hidden danger that Master Shen just mentioned, is that the various factions in the martial arts are fighting their own battles, and the people's hearts are not aligned. Yin Bai's eyebrows did not squint, and said faintly, "So as long as you can make all the sects and factions join forces and take care of each other, you can settle the outside and the inside and consolidate the Central Plains forever." ”

That's true. Teng Sanshi muttered, "Now that many tragedies have happened, and the wolf ambitions of the Tartars are clearly exposed, we really should no longer fight among ourselves, but should focus on the overall situation, unite with the outside world, and resist the strong enemy together." ”

Shen Dongshan raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "Having said that, I don't know how you plan to fight against the strong enemy?"

"We can make a deal. Zuo Hongxuan hesitated, "Follow the three chapters of the ancient covenant, promise not to fight each other, and also make sure that when one side is in trouble, all sides will support." ”

Jin Fuyu shook his head and said, "When the time comes, you can still be prepared." But in the face of adversity, I am afraid of a paper agreement...... It is difficult to check and balance each other. ”

"That's good!" Qin Ming nodded and said, "Forgive Qin for being quick to talk, the various factions in the rivers and lakes actually have their own selfish intentions, if they only rely on a piece of agreement, they want everyone to be sincere, it is whimsical." ”

"This ......"

After some arguments, the crowd was once again at an impasse.

"If you want to convince people's hearts, then there must be rewards and punishments!" Luo Tianjin said slowly, "The rewards and punishments are unknown, and people's hearts must be uneven." ”

"Lord Luofu is right!" Zhong Limu said, "But who should have the final say on whether it is a reward or a punishment?

Shen Dongshan interjected: "Therefore, it is the best strategy to return to the imperial court, rewards and punishments can be decided by the imperial court, and in case of trouble, the imperial court will also be uniformly dispatched, so as not to mess up the formation......"

"Master Shen is wrong again!" Yin Baimei interrupted again, "Just now Yin's words were only half said, but the other half was not said, as long as I said the rest of the words, all worries and troubles will be self-defeating." ”

"Please also ask Master Yin for advice!" Qin Ming asked curiously.

"It's very simple!" Yin Baimei looked around, suddenly looked straight, and said word by word, "As long as we nominate a martial arts alliance leader and he leads the group of heroes, we will definitely be able to uphold justice and revitalize the Central Plains!"

"Shhh

As soon as Yin Baimei's words came out, everyone present showed a look of shock.

"Isn't Master Yin...... Are you joking?" Tang Yuan said with a smile, "The system of the martial arts alliance leader has been deposed in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years. Don't forget, the reason why this system was abolished in the first place was precisely because of the high power of the lord of the martial arts alliance, and no one in the rivers and lakes could compete with it, and in the end it was very easy to become a martial arts demon who brought disaster to the country and the people, endangering the common people and causing endless disasters. ”

"That's true!" Zuo Hongxuan muttered, "But although it is risky to promote the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, not everyone is insatiable, despicable and treacherous. What's more, at this time and that time, now that the martial arts are divided and the people's hearts are scattered, if there is no one with high moral standing up to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Central Plains martial arts will fall apart......"

"In extraordinary times, use extraordinary means. Lu Tingxiang opened his mouth and said, "It is better to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance to preside over the overall situation than to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and it is better to be attacked by the Tartars one by one." ”

"This is not a trivial matter, and it must not be done rashly. Teng Sanshi said in a deep voice, "Especially the candidate for the leader of the martial arts alliance is the top priority." If you are not careful, the Central Plains martial arts will be precarious. ”

Miao An said: "Poor Ni believes that in terms of qualifications and prestige, the twelve heroes of the Central Plains martial arts are all qualified to take on this position. ”

"That's exactly what I mean!" Zhong Limu said with a smile, "But according to the rules of the past, all people in the Central Plains Martial Arts are eligible to run for the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and everything depends on the outcome of the competition." The rule of the year was that 'the Central Plains martial arts elected the leader of the alliance, and those who had excellent martial arts and courage were required to be worthy of such a great task.' 'In your opinion......

"Rules are dead, people are alive. Qin Ming sneered: "Let's change the rules......! Only the twelve heroes of the martial arts have the qualifications to compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance, how?"

"It's not proper!" Luo Tianjin shook his head solemnly and said, "In this way, the 'Martial Arts Alliance Leader' will exist in name only, and only the alliance leaders of our twelve sects will be elected, not the real martial arts alliance leaders." If we fail to gather the strength of the Central Plains and rely on only our 12 sects, what good will it be? In my opinion, there is no need to change the rules of the past, but one more can be added to the conditions of superior martial arts and courage. ”

"Add what?"

"If anyone wants to run for the leader of the martial arts alliance, they must first kill a Tartar and swear a blood oath in front of the heroes of the world to never rebel!"
