Chapter 164: Zhu Yuanzhang's Encounter I (Long Live the Ancestors)

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da stopped him on the side, not wanting to spoil the big thing because of his impulsiveness.

"Brother Chang, don't be impulsive, we are here to inquire about the situation, don't spoil the big thing because of impulsiveness. ”

"Yes, that's right, we must first find Miss Ma's father, and ask him to tell us that the Movers should join forces with us to drive out the Mongol Tartars. ”

In desperation, Chang Yuchun, who was in the interests of the overall situation, had no choice but to watch the brutes of the Qingcheng faction casually bully the innocent Hui old man.

However, at this time, the martial arts strong Broken Heaven suddenly appeared next to the Qingcheng Sect disciple like lightning, snatched his whip with his hand, and then strangled his neck fiercely, lifting him up all over.

This made the surrounding group of other Qingcheng faction overseers feel cold down their backs, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, he was glaring fiercely at the Qingcheng Sect disciple who was lifted into the air by his hand by the neck, as if he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction with Wu Min's rejection of his love and confession on the Qingcheng Sect disciple's body, and said coldly: "Don't you see that this old man can't even walk? You still whip him with a whip, do you still have any humanity?"

After saying this, he suddenly let go of the arm that was holding the neck of the Qingcheng Sect disciple and said to the Qingcheng Sect disciple who had fallen to the ground: "It seems that I will spare your life for the sake of my friendship with your master, if I let me see you cruelly abusing the laborers here like this again, I will kill you." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for sparing your life, the little one won't dare anymore. ”

"Get out of here!"

With the end of the world's life, the Qingcheng Sect disciple fled in a puff of smoke.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the old Hui man who had fallen to the ground and said to him with a kind face: "Old man, don't work, hurry home and rest for a while! With me here, they don't dare to embarrass you." ”

The old Hui man hurriedly patted the dust on his body and thanked Duan Tianya: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Then he left the mining team without looking back, Shangguan Yu walked towards him at this time, although he was extremely angry at Broken Tianya's behavior of humiliating his Qingcheng sect disciples just now, but because he knew that his martial arts were not as good as him, he had to swallow his anger, but said to him with a smile: "Brother Broken, why is the anger so big! Not taking care of the Qingcheng Sect disciples is my responsibility as the head, after Broken Brother's **I don't think they dare to do that again." Brother Break, you should go with me to drink tea and dissipate your anger!"

So, Shangguan Yu took Duan Tianya to the place where he was drinking tea, and after the two of them sat down, Duan Tianya asked: "How long are these Hui people going to mine here? They don't do anything bad on weekdays, why does the imperial court torture them like this?"

After taking a sip of tea, Shangguan Yu replied, "Actually, this is not the idea of the imperial court, but the idea of the Blood Clothes Sect. ”

After hearing this, Duan Tianya was stunned and repeated: "Bloody Cloth Sect?"

"That's right, I think you should have known Miss Ma when you were taken to Lotus Peak to be an undercover agent by Chen Youliang that day!"

Shangguan Yu's words made Duan Tianya even more confused at this time, he looked at Shangguan Yu at this time with that surprised expression and asked, "Ma Xiuying, what does this have to do with her?"

Ma Xiuying is the daughter of the patriarch of Majiazhuang, because she is proficient in Arabic and the leader of the Bloody Cloth Sect forced her to join the Bloody Cloth Sect as an undercover agent of the White Lotus Sect, threatening the lives of her parents and the entire Majiazhuang clan to force her to sneak into the Lotus Peak to steal the cultivation method of the Lotus Thousand Petal Hand.

However, when she copied the lotus thousand petals by hand, the sect leader ordered her to go to Nanao Island to steal the Great Song treasure and kill Long Xiaotian. ”

After hearing this, Duan Tianya suddenly understood.

"You mean that after Ma Xiuying steals the Great Song Treasure and kills Long Xiaotian, he will let these Hui people stop mining and let them go!"

"Well, that's pretty much it, but at present, the imperial court's finances are tight, and they can't come up with money to make weapons to suppress the White Lotus Sect Army, so they have to temporarily wronged these poor Hui people to mine to increase their financial revenue. ”

"Oh! I see. ”

After Breaking Tianya finished speaking, he told Shangguan Yu the news of the death of Lu Guisheng of the Qingcheng faction.

"In addition, I have one more thing to tell you, your nephew Lu Guisheng is dead. ”

However, after hearing the news, Shangguan Yu did not feel extremely sad, but said to Duan Tianya very calmly after taking a sip of tea: "I actually knew this for a long time. ”

"Don't you feel sorry for him at all?"

"It's not sad, he's just a chess piece I used when I won the position of the head of the Qingcheng faction, Princess Mingxia deliberately arranged for him to marry Mei Ruolan on the one hand to break the marriage contract between Mei Ruolan and Long Xiaotian so that Mei Ruolan would die for Long Xiaotian, so that no one would rob her of a man, and on the other hand, it was for the wish of my infatuated nephew. It's a pity that he can't be blessed, and I can't help but die like this for the sake of a woman I love with self-confidence. My junior brother only loves Mei Ruolan alone in his life, but because of this love, he has been miserable, hey!"

At this time, several Mongolian soldiers with three Hui people walked up to Shangguan Yu and Duan Tianya and reported: "Report to General Shangguan, Duan Gongzi, we have caught three suspicious Hui people, they have just entered Majiazhuang. ”

These three so-called Hui people are none other than Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who are disguised as Muslims.

But Shangguan Yu didn't recognize them, and when he saw the three of them, he asked straight to the point: "Who are you three? What are you doing here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea, revealing a flattering smile and said to Shangguan Yu: "The three of us are businessmen who open hotels outside, and we live in Majiazhuang in our hometown, and we want to visit our relatives when we go home today." ”

However, his words aroused Shangguan Yu's suspicions.

"Visiting relatives? Don't you see that there are so many soldiers guarding the village? You still have the courage to come in to visit your relatives, and tell me who you are?"

Xu Da explained on the side at this time: "We really went back to Zhuang to visit relatives, when we just entered the village, we saw so many soldiers guarding the village, we thought that something was going on outside the village, and the court sent troops to protect us, so we didn't care." ”

Chang Yuchun also accompanied him with a smile and explained: "Yes! Yes! Now the morale of these rebels of the White Lotus Sect is flourishing, and they are raising troops to make a rebellion, which has made our life uneasy for the Hui people, and we can't ask for the imperial court to send troops to protect our village! Even if we are asked to join the army, we will definitely be duty-bound." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shangguan Yu with a smile, and repeated Chang Yuchun's words: "Hehe! Yes, it is incumbent on, it is incumbent on. ”

Hearing their explanation, Shangguan Yu quickly relaxed his vigilance against the three of them, he nodded slightly, and deliberately looked at the simple dress of the three of them, and his heart had already completely let down his guard.

"Well, seeing that the three of you look honest, you can't play any tricks. But I'm sorry to tell you that we are not here to protect you, the imperial court is now short of money to fight, so we want to borrow the mines near your Majiazhuang for one use, and borrow the manpower of your Majiazhuang villagers to mine so that we can send troops to suppress the rebel army of the White Lotus Sect, I don't think you will object!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with a smile and responded: "No, no, it is our responsibility and obligation to contribute to the imperial court." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Shangguan Yu very satisfied after hearing it, and after he opened his mouth and laughed for a while, he cast a cold gaze at them and said lightly: "Hahaha, this is reasonable." Since you feel that it is your duty and responsibility to contribute to the imperial court, then please ask the three of you to mine with your villagers!"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

However, the three of them didn't walk long before they were stopped from behind by Broken Tianya.

"Wait, you three stop me. ”
