At this time, the great lama also stepped forward, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Lord Liu Shi came to the small temple, how fortunate it is." ”

Liu Kang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the great lama has become more and more healthy." These friends from the rivers and lakes are in your temple, and they didn't disturb the practice of the masters. ”

The Grand Lama shook his head again and again and said, "The donors also arrived last night, and they have not been rude in this courtyard. And for the small temple to donate a lot of money, the little monks are grateful. ”

The two talked a few more words, and Liu Kang said: "Please ask the great lama to find a quieter place, the old man has something to talk to these people." ”

The big lama said: "The hall is the most quiet, Master Liu might as well enter the hall." ”

Liu Kang nodded, turned to Liu Yong and said, "Please Mr. Liu go and tell all your friends in the rivers and lakes, please be less safe and not be impatient." The officers and men are just catching the thieves, and they have nothing to do with you, so there is no need to be impatient. It's just that there are some things that still need to be screened, so if you wait a while, the officers and men will let you go. ”

Liu Yong nodded in agreement. Liu Kang looked at the dozen or so leaders of various sects around him, and said to everyone: "Please come to the main hall with all the heads and elders, the old man has a few words to say to you." ”

After Liu Kang finished speaking, he walked into the main hall accompanied by the great lama, and the heads and leaders of various sects followed closely behind Liu Kang. Liu Kang took two steps, turned his head and saw Li Qiufeng standing aside and didn't move, and smiled slightly: "This Li Shaoxia will also go to the main hall together." ”

Li Qiufeng didn't want to go, but Liu Kang invited him in front of everyone, but he couldn't help but give him face. He sneered at the moment and followed behind everyone. Murong Danyan was following, Li Qiufeng waved his hand at her, and Murong Danyan had to stop.

Liu Yong said to Qunhao: "Friends, everyone who wanted to come here just now knew that he was Liu Ge Lao in the imperial court. The old man had already said that the officers and soldiers came here to arrest the thieves, and it had nothing to do with us, and they could leave after the matter was clarified. It's just that we have to wait for a while, so don't be impatient. After finishing speaking, he instructed the Huashan disciples to be careful, and then hurriedly walked into the main hall.

I saw that nearly twenty leaders of various sects had gathered in the main hall, all of whom stood respectfully with their hands bowed. Liu Yong saw Li Qiufeng standing on the side and walked over quietly, the two nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Liu Kang was sitting on a chair, talking to the great lama, and when he saw Liu Yong walking in, he immediately turned his head and said, "The heads of the various sects have arrived, let's discuss it." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Listen to Elder Liu Ge's instructions." ”

Liu Kang said: "Instructions or something, the old man is ashamed." It's just that you have committed a serious crime this time, and you have to think of a way to get out. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed greatly, but Li Qiufeng secretly sneered.

Liu Yong arched his hand and said: "The elder of the Good Sect Pavilion learned that everyone was deceived by someone and strayed into the imperial mausoleum......

Liu Kang nodded and said, "I already know the matter." But in the court, traitors are in charge, and the recital to the Son of Heaven will not say good things for you. What's more, there are a lot of Dongchang's fans and Jinyiwei's spies outside, and their secret music is also extremely unfavorable to you. ”

Chu Danyang, the head of the Kunlun faction, said: "We were in the underground mausoleum, and we saw Zhao Zhen, the squire of the military department. This person instigated everyone to rebel and tried in vain to usurp the throne, and everyone here saw it with their own eyes. If the court doesn't believe it, we can confront that Zhao Zhen. ”

The rest of the leaders also chimed in. Liu Kang smiled slightly and said: "When you were in the imperial mausoleum, Zhao Zhen had already written a note and sent it up, framing you for destroying the mausoleum of the first emperor in a vain attempt to gather a crowd to rebel......

"This traitor!" Chu Danyang scolded loudly, "It's obvious that he tricked us into the imperial tomb, how can he bite back, it's really cunning." ”

Liu Kang said: "But when this fold arrived in the cabinet, it was detained, and the emperor has not seen it." ”

Several heads glanced at each other, bowed in unison and said, "Thank you for the success of the pavilion." “

Liu Kang waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the old man, in the imperial court, after all, there are still some Qingliu officials, knowing that you are all good men who are loyal to the country, and they are acting on behalf of you." It's just that Zhao Zhen's treacherous plot has been exposed, and he will definitely refuse to let you go, he will continue to gather the scum of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and falsely accuse you of plotting wrong, so that you have to think of a way, so that the court will no longer suspect that you have the intention of rebellion, this is a big plan once and for all. ”

Xu Chenghe, the head of the Qingcheng faction, said: "It's better for us to select the masters of each faction and kill Zhao Zhen." As soon as this traitor dies, no one will dare to falsely accuse us of rebellion. ”

When several leaders heard this, they applauded. Liu Kang shook his head and said: "Let's tell you the truth, Zhao Zhen, a soldier in the military department, can he stir up such a big storm? He is just a small role on the platform, and the big people behind him are the masterminds." Killing Zhao Zhen, as well as Qian Zhen, Sun Zhen, and Li Zhen, will not help. ”

There was a lot of discussion, but they couldn't come up with a convincing idea. At this moment, Liu Yong, who had been silent, said: "Since Elder Liu Ge has arrived here, he must have a clever plan to get us out of trouble. Everyone should listen to the opinions of the elder of the pavilion to get out of this big difficulty!"

Only then did everyone react, since Liu Kang was here, he naturally came for everyone, so why did he bother to think of any way to get out? Liu Kang said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have any clever plans, but by chance, he has a great merit in front of him." If you take the credit for this, it will be a great crime, and it can be offset. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were all excited. Liu Kang continued: "Zhao Zhen, a traitor, originally wanted to coerce all the heroes of the rivers and lakes to rebel together, but after he failed to do so, he bribed some rebels in a vain attempt to enter the capital and do that great rebellion. The rebels are now massing and will be ready to move in a few days. If the heroes can stop the rebels, and when the counterinsurgency army arrives, they will destroy the rebels, which is a great achievement, and there will be traitors, and the court will not believe that you will rebel. I wonder what you think?"

Everyone couldn't imagine that Liu Kang would say such a thing, and their hearts were shocked. These people are the leaders of various factions, and they have seen many winds and waves in the rivers and lakes, and they are nervously calculating whether Liu Kang's idea is feasible at this moment. Liu Yong said: "Elder Qiyu Pavilion, although everyone knows martial arts, they know very little about the battle array, and they are against the enemy, but they are afraid that the chances of winning are extremely low......"

Liu Kang said: "The old man doesn't want you to fight with the rebels with a knife and a gun. That is to abandon my strengths and use my shortcomings. After the rebels assembled, they must first occupy Yong'an City as a key fortress to attack the capital. At present, the garrison of Yong'an City is only a few hundred, and they are all old and weak soldiers. When the rebels arrive, they will be scattered. The old man would like to ask all friends from the rivers and lakes to enter Yong'an City first and help the defenders hold on. It only takes four or five days to hold on, and the imperial court counterinsurgency army will arrive, and then the rebel army will collapse. ”

After Liu Kang finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, turned his head to the great lama and said, "It's really good tea, why don't you invite all the heroes to have a cup too?"

The big lama's face turned red, and he hurriedly instructed the little lama: "Go and serve tea to your benefactors!"

Liu Yong said: "The great lama doesn't have to care, we coarse people in the rivers and lakes know very little about tea tasting, even if we drink it, I'm afraid that we will spoil the master's fragrant tea in vain." ”

Liu Kang said with a smile: "Heroes of the rivers and lakes, informal, the old man has always admired him." Twelve years ago, many high-rollers in the rivers and lakes did a great thing in Huguang'an Luzhou for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was taken by traitors and suffered heavy casualties, it was in vain to say the word 'good man'. This time, if you can stop the rebels under the city of Yong'an, your merit is as high as the sun and the moon, and the court will praise it in the future, then it will be the glory of the famous and decent family, this glory, but money and martial arts can't be exchanged. ”

Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan faction, clapped his hands and said: "Those officers and soldiers can only bully the common people one by one, what are we afraid of him doing? Since he is contributing to the imperial court, our Songshan faction is willing to obey Liu Ge's orders." ”

Liu Kang said: "Master Lin is really a cheerful man. Over the years, the Songshan faction has contributed a lot to the imperial court, and the predecessor Yin Zhangmen was killed in the battle of An Luzhou, and the imperial court deserved to be rewarded. The old man can give Lin Zhangmen a package ticket, after the rebellion is quelled, Junji Peak is the dojo of the Songshan faction, and the imperial court will send a plaque to the Songshan faction, with the words 'Songshan Decency 'written on it, I don't know what the Lin boss thinks?"

Lin Yilang was overjoyed, and arched his hand and said: "Boss Liu Ge is gracious, and the Songshan faction is all grateful. Lin is willing to listen to the elder of the pavilion, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and he will not give up!"
