273 Martyrdom 02
Zheng Ang said: "Master, the news of the murder of the master of Baizhai was brought back by our people, naturally it is true, over there in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, we also listened to what the Heavenly Demon Sect Master said, and it should be true." ”
Zhuang Yan's eyes rolled, and he said strangely: "The Jincheng faction and the Dongting Water Village are both famous factions in the righteous path, and the two factions have never had a grudge, why did the head of the Jin sect want to harm the life of the lord of the white village?
Zheng Ang sighed and said: "According to what the Shangguan Sect Master said, Jin Wancheng intends to dominate the rivers and lakes and wants to dominate the martial arts, and the Lord of Baizhai is unwilling to hand over the Dongting people and horses to his command, because he killed him, and Baihua Valley must be like this." ”
Zhuang Yan didn't believe it, and said: "Shangguan Yun is the head of the Heavenly Demon Sect, how can he be trusted, what the situation was at that time, you and I don't know. As the saying goes, 'if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark', so why don't you rush back to Taihu Lake first and see what Master Jin says. ”
Lu Rongweng didn't answer, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Did Jin Wancheng mention that he came to my Jiangnan this time, what was the matter?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head and said: "The chief shopkeeper is not here, how dare Zhuang Yan overstep his bounds?!"
Zheng Ang was not too worried, he said: "Chief shopkeeper, Master, no matter how many of them are, Taihu Dongting Mountain has always been our territory, and besides, we have been reminded by the Shangguan Sect Master, so we can take precautions as soon as possible, it is better to go and meet them first." ”
Zhuang Yan nodded and said: "Zheng Ang's words are reasonable, the chief shopkeeper, if we don't go, aren't we afraid of them? ”
Lu Rongweng sighed, and had to say, "Okay, let's go and see what Jin Wancheng has to say." Zhuang Yan, you can arrange that all the masters in the business will be ambushed around Dongting Mountain, if they dare to act rashly in Jin Wancheng, they will definitely not be able to get out of Taihu Lake. ”
Zhuang Yan said: "Don't worry, the chief shopkeeper, I will make good arrangements." ”
The two big ships galloped quickly, day and night non-stop to Taihu Lake, walked for more than two days, and finally entered Taihu Lake, they landed on a large island in the lake, presumably this must be Dongting Mountain.
Shangguan Yun was cautious along the way, but no one noticed it, and when Lu Rongweng, Zhuang Yan and Zheng Ang all got off the boat, he quietly went ashore. At this time, it was getting late, and he was not worried about being discovered, Shangguan Yun followed behind the three of them unhurriedly and walked towards a mansion on the island.
Lu Rongweng didn't say a word, he walked very quickly, Zhuang Yan and Zheng Ang knew that he was worried, but they couldn't persuade them, they just wanted to find out what Jin Wancheng was thinking as soon as possible. Not long after, a few people arrived in the village, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw hundreds of heroes and heroes in the garden making loud noises. Either shouting five and drinking, or drinking and swallowing, or joking, or cursing the heavens and the earth, the heroes laughed and scolded, fought and shouted, it was really not lively. When everyone saw that Lu Rongweng and the three of them entered the village, they did not restrain themselves by half a point, and they were still acting recklessly as if no one was around, and Lu Rongweng's face became more and more ugly.
Zhuang Yan didn't mind this, and greeted the familiar heroes from time to time, which made him even more exquisite. The three of them walked through the double garden, and the back was finally much quieter, except for the occasional few heroes wielding knives and guns. However, they were much more respectful and polite, not only did they not dare to make a loud noise, but they also stopped and hugged their fists to greet the three of them.
Shangguan Yun unfolded the Lost Ghost Steps, and walked like flying on the treetops, courtyard walls, and roofs in the village, and he ran extremely fast, plus it was night, and no one noticed that someone had quietly entered the village.
Lu Rongweng and Zhuang Yan's master and apprentice walked through the garden, and as soon as they entered a big house, they could hear loud laughter from inside, and it seemed that Jin Wancheng was here. Shangguan Yun carefully went to the roof, and now that Jin Wancheng's martial arts were in the world, he didn't dare to move, so he leaned on the roof and listened carefully.
I heard Zhuang Yan laugh sharply: "Now the Jincheng faction is powerful in the world, and the head of Sai Zhuge Jin is even more righteous and covers the sky, it can be said that the heroes are in the heart, the rivers and lakes are unified, and we are really ashamed of ourselves." ”
Jin Wancheng laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zhuang praised falsely, where does Jin deserve the words "uprising and covering Yuntian", Jin just sees the chaos in the world, and does not want the people of Li to suffer from this war, so he does his best." ”
Zheng Ang was straightforward by nature, and he didn't want to go around the bend with him, so he went straight in and asked: "Master Jin, although our business has a bit of a reputation in the rivers and lakes, it is said that it is doing some cheap buying and expensive selling, and the martial arts of the people in the business are only the last in the rivers and lakes, I don't know what is the matter with the head of Jin leading the heroes from afar?"
Jin Wancheng cleared his throat and said righteously: "Now that the Jurchens have invaded the south, the Bianliang of Kyoto in the Great Song Dynasty has been broken, and the people of the world are panicking all day long. Although we are people in the rivers and lakes, we have always been the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called 'Lu of the Eater, the Worry of the King', he is a Jurchen barbarian who deceived me of the Great Song Dynasty, you and I are Song people, and we should solve problems for the Great Song Dynasty. Three months ago, Jin received a warrant from the generalissimo of Hebei soldiers and horses to organize the righteous army to resist Jin and protect the Song, so Jin traveled thousands of miles to contact the heroes of the righteous path, intending to form a righteous army to go north to resist Jin, and not to expel the Jurchen barbarians from the Central Plains, Jin vowed not to give up. ”
Lu Rongweng praised: "The benevolence and righteousness of the head of the Jin family really make us admire. He changed his words and said: "I am still good at doing some business in my business, but there are not many people who can do martial arts. ”
Jin Wancheng said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand the shopkeeper Lu, Jin has won the trust of the heroes of the world and was promoted as the leader of the alliance. The so-called 'soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first', although these thousands of heroes and heroes are powerful, their appetite is not small, Jin came this time, it is to raise money and food, and nothing else. ”
Zhuang Yan laughed a few times, and said sharply: "The head of Jin really looks up to our business, although the seventy-two merchants in Jiangnan are among the best in the world, but they are also doing that penny of small business, if they suddenly take out so much money and grain, I am afraid that the business will not be able to withstand it." We still have to feed so many people, and if the business is gone, what will they do for a living?"
Ke Qingshen said with a stunned face: "A few years ago, your business was only doing some business in the Jiangnan area, if it wasn't for the emperor who opened the golden mouth, how could you have such a big fortune now." Zhuang Er's shopkeeper, don't forget your roots, now the emperor is in trouble, it is the time for your business to repay the favor, you are bankrupt, that is also a matter of course, how can you excuse it?"
