Yongkang three years, at the end of the year, Wu Palace.

Nong Junyan packed up, registered the books of all the warriors who came, and went down the mountain.

did not return to Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, and went directly to the palace.

In the Imperial Study.

The emperor looked down at the booklet in his hand and did not speak.

Below, Nong Junyan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, so far, the martial artists who have stayed in the Martial Palace have all been registered, a total of two thousand four hundred and fifty-one people, and the list of specific personnel is on the books that Your Majesty has read. ”

The Emperor looked at it roughly, closed the book, and pondered for a moment.

"Who haven't come yet?"

Nong Junyan didn't think much about it, obviously prepared for this question, "Among the righteous path sects, so far, only the Wudang faction and the Songshan faction have sent people to come. ”

"Moreover, the people from the Songshan faction are obviously only a part. ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled, "This Zuo Lengchan is a smart person, he will take advantage of loopholes, only part of the people, and he will not be offended?"

After thinking about it, "I ordered to go down and canonize these people who have already come according to the previous preparations." ”

Nong Junyan nodded yes.

"Shaolin Temple, as the leader of the righteous path, does not listen to the imperial edict and should be killed. ”

Turned his head to look out the window and sneered, "It's almost the New Year, and it's only when you see red is you happy." It just so happened that those people were canonized, and they were allowed to contribute as well. ”

......

Soon, people from all sects in the rivers and lakes received the news.

Previously, the people who went to the capital were all over the world.

In the Wu Palace, thirty miles away from the capital, he was received by His Majesty the Emperor, and kept his promise to canonize these warriors.

In order to reward these people for responding to the imperial court's edict, all the treatment of these Jianghu people who went there was improved.

Qingxu, Lei Jun, Yang Lianting, Fei Bin, Blue Phoenix and others are all treated as three products or from three products.

The rest waited.

When the news arrived, the major rivers and lakes were suddenly boiling, which means that these people are no longer people in the rivers and lakes, but people in the public gate, and they are eating public food.

Songshan faction.

Zuo Lengchan took the letter from Fei Bin in his hand, read it, frowned, and muttered: "Jianghu, this is going to cease to exist, what does our emperor of the Ming Dynasty want to do?"

Le Hou didn't understand, and asked, "Senior brother in charge, what happened?"

Zuo Lengchan didn't answer, he handed the letter to him casually, and the other people from the Thirteen Taibao gathered together to read the contents of the letter.

Wait for everyone to finish reading.

Tota hand Ding Mian smacked his lips, a little surprised, "You actually want to make a move on Shaolin?"

Others are also very shocked, Shaolin Temple is not only the first major faction in the rivers and lakes, known as the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, as a neighbor of Shaolin Temple, Songshan people are very clear about the strength of Shaolin Temple.

Tang Ying'e read the letter and said: "Senior Brother Fei Bin said in the letter that these people, the commander of Jinyiwei, Nong Junyan, have already given them a breath, and the meaning of the words is that this time to encircle and suppress the Shaolin Temple, it is for these people to take action. ”

Zuo Lengchan's eyes flashed, and he said faintly: "After receiving the reward, you must work, how can there be a reason to just eat and not work." ”

Immediately, there was silence in the hall.

The brothers looked at their own heads, and they didn't know how to do more next.

Zuo Lengchan's eyes were deep, pondered for a while, seemed to have made a decision, turned his head and said to Le Hou: "Le Hou, you go and take someone to investigate, this time the imperial court encircled and suppressed Shaolin, is it simply to let these warriors contribute, or to send troops to encircle and suppress?"

Le Hou listened and nodded his head.

Then he said to Tang Ying'e: "You immediately count the Songshan faction now, all the disciples who have practiced internal breath are registered, and all the secret books of my Songshan internal strength can be sorted out so that they can be dealt with at any time." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

Le Hou didn't understand, and asked: "Senior brother in charge, we in Songshan also want to raise a faction and be the minions of the imperial court?"

Zuo Lengchan sneered, "Minions? That depends on how determined the imperial court is this time, if it is to encircle and suppress Shaolin this time, just rely on those more than 2,000 people, we will respond to all changes with the same, if we use soldiers, we will immediately send to the capital." ”

......

Garrison Guardhouse.

Nong Junyan held the emperor's edict in his hand and looked at General Lin in front of him.

His face was solemn, "General Lin, at the behest of His Majesty, I am here, and I ask the general to order 30,000 soldiers and horses and set off with me." ”

General Lin Tianxing bowed down to take the command, and after checking that it was correct, he stood up and said in a deep voice to the junior colonel next to him: "Beat the drums and gather troops." ”

It didn't take long.

30,000 soldiers began to rush to Songshan and pointed directly to Songshan Shaolin Temple.

......

Songshan faction.

Le Hou hurriedly walked into the main hall, saw Zuo Lengchan, and said urgently: "Senior brother, as you expected, there are now 30,000 armor soldiers rushing to Songshan. ”

Zuo Lengchan listened, his eyes moved, and he walked around the main hall.

Le Hou said: "Senior brother, what should we do now?"

Zuo Lengchan stopped and asked again: "You, Senior Brother Fei Bin, what about the more than 2,000 people from the rivers and lakes?"

"The men didn't follow the army, but they all started coming in groups. ”

Zuo Lengchan stroked his beard, pondered, and said secretly: The news of the imperial court's move this time has not spread, and those people in the rivers and lakes probably don't know much. Those 30,000 armor soldiers, I'm afraid no one remembers that they went to encircle and suppress Shaolin, but it was an opportunity.

After thinking about it, he said to Le Hou: "Go, call the senior brothers?"

It didn't take long for people to come, and they all stayed in Songshan in an eventful autumn, so they came quickly.

Zuo Lengchan looked at everyone, "It seems that this time the imperial court is going to move seriously, but my Songshan faction wants to seize this opportunity and win greater benefits in this change." ”

One of them said: "Senior Brother in charge, but this time, we didn't all go to the capital, and we only sent Senior Brother Fei Bin alone, so we are already one step behind." ”

Zuo Lengchan shook his head, "I don't think so, the entire Zhengdao sect, except for Wudang, only our Songshan faction sent people to go, this is the first opportunity, and this time to encircle and suppress Shaolin, do you really think those people in the rivers and lakes will really contribute?"

Ding Mian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Those people, it's okay to wave the flag and shout, if you really let them attack the thousand-year-old temple of Shaolin, I'm afraid you won't dare." ”

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason, now, what we want is to make an appearance in front of the imperial court." ”

Turning his head to Tang Ying'e, he said, "Senior Brother Tang, have you packed up your things?"

"Packed up. ”

Zuo Lengchan was a little relieved, thought about it, and said to everyone, "When the time comes, we will ...... like this."

......

On the trail, a group of sword-wielding Jianghu people are hurrying.

Ren Yingying, who was dressed in disguise, pestled the young man next to the pestle, "What do you say the court wants us to do?"

Wang Wuming smiled, "Whatever, the official who just gave you the title of six grades must have let you work." ”

Ren Yingying glanced at her, "This kind of official is a false position, who is rare." ”

Wang Wuming smiled and didn't speak.

Ren Yingying glanced forward and frowned, "Look at this road is the road to Songshan." ”

Wang Wuming looked left and right, and said casually: "Well, maybe, the imperial court is asking us to go to the Shaolin Temple to wash in blood." ”

Ren Yingying listened and ignored him.

......

Shaolin Temple.

Daxiong Treasure Hall.

A Shaolin monk bowed down and said, "Presiding abbot, the disciple found that there are some unidentified people from the rivers and lakes who have recently come to the vicinity of Shaolin. ”

Fang Zheng listened, frowned and waved his hand.

The Shaolin disciple bowed and withdrew from the hall.

The first seat of the Luohan Hall listened, "Senior Brother Abbot, nothing will happen, right?"

Fang Zheng felt a little unsteady in his heart, sighed, and folded his hands, "Amitabha, it's an eventful time, gather Shaolin disciples, and you can't go out at will." ”
