Chapter 116: Zhu Yuanzhang's Conspiracy (Long Live the Ancestors!)
The words of the Golden Lotus Holy Envoy made all the people of the martial arts factions standing next to them talk about it, and they all seemed to feel that Jin Zhong's words did have some truth.
"That's right! The White Lotus Sect can't be so stupid, deliberately finding trouble to ambush us and provoke such a big incident. ”
"That's right, they really have no reason to do this, the White Lotus Sect has always rebelled against the imperial court, and there is no need to have any trouble with us, so there is no need to ask for hardship. ”
"Let's just say, why should they deliberately get along with us and make both sides lose, what good will it do them?"
However, Feng Ruya of the Huashan faction did not think so.
"Maybe they feel that the existence of our martial arts factions is a potential threat to them, so they want to eradicate us first, so that there will be no worries about fighting the world, in short, my master and second senior brother were killed by the people of the White Lotus Sect, and I want them to pay for their blood debts no matter what. ”
Hearing Feng Ruya's remarks that obviously had a hint of prejudice, Guo Zixing became angry all of a sudden, he stared at Feng Ruya in front of him with wide eyes and angrily, and scolded with great emotion: " Bastard, what does it matter to us if you exist, the purpose of the White Lotus Sect is to overthrow the imperial court, and your martial arts factions have always been ignorant of world affairs, and they cultivate with peace of mind, even if they are united, they are doing their own thing, and a plate of scattered sand will not pose any threat to us, and when we win the world, you will naturally submit to us, everyone is Han Chinese, and there should be more understanding between each other, so use your pig brains to think about who is right and who is wrong!"
Guo Zixing's words immediately attracted the unanimous anger of some disciples of the five major sects.
"What do you say......"
But in the end, Song Liancheng relieved the siege for the White Lotus Sect, only to see him open his arms and persuade the people around him: "Everyone be quiet and quiet first, listen to what I Song has to say." ”
When the emotions of the people around him were no longer so excited, he continued: "Actually, I also think that what he said just now is a bit reasonable, we might as well calm down and think about it carefully, whether it is necessary for them to kill our martial arts disciples for no reason, whether it is necessary to be enemies of both us and the imperial court, and whether there is any need to do such unreasonable things." To tell the truth, when I was fighting with the disciples of the White Lotus Sect at the foot of Mount Hua that day, I accidentally saw that the flag used by the White Lotus Sect's Five Elements Banner was black, but this time I saw that the flag used by the White Lotus Sect Flag had five colors, so I believe that what Long Shaoxia said was true, maybe it was not the White Lotus Sect that ambushed us that day. ”
Long Xiaotian took advantage of this opportunity and said to the other people of the martial arts factions: "Brother Song is right, from the perspective of common sense, the White Lotus Sect really has no motive to deliberately be the enemy of our martial arts factions, and there is no reason to set up enemies for this sect to ask for hardships, after all, they are also Han people, and they will never rebel at this critical moment and do such a foolish stupid thing." It was really not the White Lotus Sect that ambushed us at the foot of Mount Hua that day, but the Bloody Cloth Sect, everyone must not fall for the conspiracy of the Bloody Cloth Sect and the imperial court, and stop killing each other. ”
However, the second time he tried so hard to persuade him, there were still people who didn't want to believe it, only to see the beggar gang's palm bowl dragon head and the palm stick dragon head stand out from the beggar gang's team, and said to Long Xiaotian and Song Liancheng respectively: "Long Shaoxia, you haven't found evidence to prove that we have misunderstood the White Lotus Sect, we really can't believe you, even if Song Daxia of the Wudang Sect comes forward, we can't let go of the hatred of so many dead beggar gang disciples." ”
"That's right, Song Daxia only relied on a five-element flag to conclude that the White Lotus Sect was wronged, it's too hasty!"
But at this time, Zhou Yidai suddenly rushed in from the entrance of Lotus Peak, and shouted to the palm bowl dragon head and palm stick dragon head: "Uncle Ma, Uncle Li, Brother Long is right, the soldiers and horses of the Blood Clothes Sect and the imperial court have been killed. ”
It was too late, and not long after Zhou Yidai flew to the beggar gang's team, the imperial army and the blood-clothed sect led by the blood-clothed envoy and Zamuhe had already entered the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, and confronted the martial arts factions and the White Lotus Sect led by Long Xiaotian and Guo Zixing, and the blood-clothed envoy was looking at them with a wicked smile on his face.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, who received the news from the White Lotus Sect's messenger, was leading the White Lotus Sect army with the generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, as well as the military advisor Liu Bowen, to the halfway point of the Lotus Mountain, and stayed there, waiting for the return of the scouts.
After a while, two scouts rode towards Zhu Yuanzhang's team, and after the two stopped their horses, they arched their arms together and reported: "Report to His Royal Highness King Wu, the White Lotus Sect and the five major factions are facing off in the main altar. ”
"Did there ever get into a fight?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great concern, it seemed that he was more concerned about the situation when the two were fighting, so as to prepare for his next plan.
"Back to King Wu, there has never been a fight. ”
The scout's answer made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little puzzled at this time, and he was stunned in his heart, and repeated the scout's words with a skeptical tone: "There was no fight?"
After finishing speaking, he asked Liu Bowen beside him.
"Master Liu, in your opinion, what is our next plan?"
At this time, Liu Bowen gently stroked the beard on his chin with his hand, blinked his sharp eyes like sharp swords, as if he could see through the other party's thoughts, and said his next plan.
"Now that the Bloody Cloth Sect has not made a move with Guo Zixing and them, those Mongolian armies ambushed in Lotus Peak will always be guarding outside the cave, as long as those Mongol armies have not entered the main altar, we must not rashly attack to relieve the siege of the White Lotus Sect. In my opinion, we should go up to Lotus Peak after two hours, as long as we take advantage of the fact that those Mongolian troops are forgetting to be vigilant, we can be sure that we will relieve the siege for the brothers of the White Lotus Sect, and then they will be grateful to King Wu, and it is also possible to support King Wu as the sect leader. ”
After listening to Liu Bowen's proposal, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction, as if he saw the dawn of being able to become the leader of the White Lotus Sect.
"Haha, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, over the years, I have made continuous meritorious contributions in the ranks of the rebels in order to be the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and finally ascended to the throne of King Wu, but from now on, what I, Zhu Yuanzhang, is no longer pursuing the position of King Wu, but the position of the sect leader. ”
Liu Bowen arched his arm in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, and said twice: "At that time, the entire country will be in the hands of His Royal Highness King Wu, who will overthrow the tyrannical yuan and ascend the throne as the emperor, and His Royal Highness King Wu will be a great hero in the eyes of the Han people." ”
However, Chang Yuchun, who has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and just wants to fight the world for the Han people wholeheartedly, was not optimistic about Liu Bowen's proposal, so he said to Liu Bowen: "Master Liu, our army's morale is now in full swing, why take this opportunity to take this opportunity to take those Mongolian soldiers guarding outside the Lotus Peak by surprise, isn't it the same to relieve the siege of the White Lotus Sect and let the brothers of the White Lotus Sect Altar be grateful to His Royal Highness King Wu for me, and it can also reduce the casualties of the brothers in the White Lotus Sect's General Altar, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Liu Bowen shook his head at him and said, "No, no, General Chang, you have been by His Royal Highness King Wu's side for so many years, can't you still see through His Royal Highness King Wu's thoughts?"
Chang Yuchun touched the back of his head and repeated Liu Junshi's words with a puzzled face.
"What is the mind of His Royal Highness King Wu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, glanced at Chang Yuchun coldly and said: "Yuchun, there are some things that you still know less, just carry out the order." ”
At this time, Xu Da, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke, and he seemed to have seen through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind a long time ago.
"Yuchun, His Royal Highness King Wu is right, some things are still less known, we are all the favorite generals under His Royal Highness King Wu, fight the world for His Royal Highness King Wu, no matter what His Royal Highness King Wu orders us to do, we just obey our orders. ”
After Xu Da finished speaking, he called the other two scouts under him and ordered: "Wang Ping, Ma Biao, you go to Lotus Peak now and see what the situation is on Lotus Peak." ”
"Yes, General. ”
