The country is picturesque.

But this picture scroll of the country is not too beautiful for Zhao Gou. Among them, the waves are treacherous, the undercurrent is surging, and Zhao Gou has been caught in the power struggle above the temple.

He was lonely. Because he looked at the entire imperial court, there were Qin Hui's party members everywhere from top to bottom. But the people in the court are not terrible, because they are mostly a group of powerless ministers, at most, at the extreme, a group of people unite to say something that is not enough, which disturbs Zhao Gou.

But this annoyance can be controlled. As long as he has a firm grip on military power, there is nothing to worry about.

It's easy to take control of military power. Because, when the Taizu lineage rose in the imperial court, there were many famous generals, although these people were not attached to Zhao Gou, but they would not be in the same stream as Qin Hui.

Behind closed doors, they are all surnamed Zhao, after all, they are still a family.

But the rivers and lakes are different. Since ancient times, the rivers and lakes have lived far away from the temples and are difficult to control. Now Qin Hui feels old and is worried that after his death, his Qin family will suffer a catastrophe, so he has increased his efforts to win over the forces in the rivers and lakes.

July of the twentieth year of Shaoxing. Qin Hui wrote a letter to seek an official for his son Qin Xi, and wanted to promote Qin Xi as the head of the household. This is a very important step, if it is done, then after Qin Hui's death, Qin Xi will have the capital to succeed as prime minister.

However, Zhao Gou refused.

This may be the first time in all these years that he has refused Qin Hui's request. This refusal made Qin Hui, who was already seriously ill, even more frightened. He should have vaguely felt that Zhao Gou's heart had quietly changed. Someday, he will be counted backwards by a counterattack.

Therefore, Qin Hui strengthened his efforts to win over the forces in the rivers and lakes.

In August of the twentieth year of Shaoxing, it was rumored that Qin Hui ordered Tang Si to retire with 30,000 taels of gold to lobby a large faction. Regardless of the size of the sect, you have to send some gold at the entrance, which is called Zhao'an, but in fact, you have to collect many sects for your own use.

Zhao Gou was very nervous.

In his heart, he has never believed in this Jianghu. Just like Bai Jingxing, who once refused to believe that he had the grace to save his life. Therefore, a long time ago, he drove a wedge into this long-term detached rivers and lakes, just waiting for a certain moment in the future, using this wedge as a starting point, stirring up the wind and clouds on the rivers and lakes, and completely eliminating those uncontrollable forces outside the court.

And I, I'm the wedge.

Of course, I wouldn't have realized it at the time. Although, I have always been very confused by Zhao Gou's arrangement. I don't understand what he likes about me, why he keeps holding on to me and refuses to let go.

On the second day after returning to the Wulin League, Liu Wufeng hurried from the imperial city.

He came in a hurry, and when he rushed through the door, I was concentrating on my qi, and it was at the critical moment that the reversed veins were swimming a powerful internal breath. Liu Wufeng was defenseless and reached out to pull me up. The moment his hand touched me, an internal force poured out of his body like a reflection, sending Liu Wufeng's bullet flying several feet away.

"How can this be reasonable!" Liu Wufeng stood up in pain, one hand on his waist, but walked over to me again.

I didn't pay attention to him, because my practice was at a critical time, and I must not be interrupted because of Liu Wufeng. Liu Wufeng didn't dare to come near me again, so he stood at the door of the hall and glared at me with anger on his face, "Stop." I have something important to tell you. ”

Nothing is more important than my practice.

I slowly closed my eyes to make myself more focused.

Liu Wufeng breathed

Panting heavily, like an old cow returning from ploughing the field. He kept yelling at me, saying things like "how can this be done" and "audacious".

Mo about a stick of incense.

I took back the inner breath that was wandering in the meridians back into the dantian, and immediately felt refreshed, and there seemed to be endless strength all over my body, so I wanted to find a place to vent.

At this time, Liu Wufeng, who was in a hurry, picked up a square wooden stool and threw it at me.

I shook my hands on the ground, my body bounced back, gathered a force of inner strength, and rushed towards the square wooden bench.

"Click".

The square wooden bench shattered into pieces, and Liu Wufeng was shocked and flew out again, this time flying farther than the last time, and naturally fell even worse.

Liu Wufeng put his hands on his waist and staggered towards me. But his expression was well controlled, and I couldn't read the slightest hint of pain other than anger.

"Are you an iron head?" Liu Wufeng snorted coldly.

I touched the top of my head. To be honest, it still hurts. I said, "What are you looking for me?"

Liu Wufeng said, "The emperor has an order to order you to secretly investigate all the major sects, but anyone who colludes with Qin Hui will be killed!"

Homicide?!

It used to be something I really didn't want to do. But for some reason, hearing the word "kill" at this time inexplicably excited me and made me feel blood boiling.

I didn't think of it, and I said, "Okay." ”

Liu Wufeng was a little surprised, he looked at me and asked, "Where are you going to check first?"

If I were to investigate, I would only have one goal - the Kuocang faction.

Liu Wufeng said, "No. ”

I asked, "Why not?"

Liu Wufeng said, "Chen Boyang's whereabouts are unknown, the disciples have been scattered, and the Kuocang faction has already existed in name only. If you go to check the Cang Sect, what can you gain?"

I said, "I want to go to check the Kuocang faction, I want to go to Chen Boyang, what can you do to me?"

Liu Wufeng was stunned. He looked at me for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Go as you want." I'll send someone else to investigate the other sects. ”

Chen Boyang ruined my family, so I told him to die without a place to be buried.

Two days later. The martial arts league was crowded with beggars in rags.

They looked at the courtyard of the Martial Arts League as if they were looking at a world they had never set foot in, and their eyes were full of a different kind of brilliance.

"Helper, helper. Is this the helmsman of our beggar gang?" asked a strange beggar running up to me.

"Of course not. Ming Shaozhong explained from the side, "This is called the Wulin League, which is the government office that helps the leader control the rivers and lakes and gives orders." ”

"Oh. The strange beggar thought thoughtfully, "Our gang leader is the leader of the martial arts alliance, then our beggar gang should be the boss of each major sect!"

"That's nature. Ming Shaozhong looked proud.

"But why, even those people from the small sect look down on us?" said the strange beggar, "a few days ago, I went to the Golden State Crossover Gate to beg for food, but I was kicked out by the old man who guarded the door. I said that I was a disciple of the beggar gang, and the old man actually laughed at me, and the beggars even had gangs. He also said that the next day he would gather all the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep in the family and form a cattle gang and make the old mule, who had seven cubs born in one child, the leader of the gang. ”

"Huh

Say nonsense. Ming Shaozhong's face was full of anger.

I am also full of anger. The Golden State Crossing Gate is nothing more than a lugman who controls the waterway and collects some money from the boat's feet, and even dares to laugh at my gang.

Ming Shaozhong glared and scolded, "Damn old man, full of nonsense, how can there be a mule in this world that can give off cubs." ”

My heart, which was pounding with anger, was almost pierced by Ming Shaozhong's words. I scolded Ming Shaozhong with a sentence of "get out", and said to the strange beggar, "You go to Jinzhou to cross the gate to spread the word, and in three days, I will slaughter them." ”

The strange beggar's body trembled, and his face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice, "Help, help the master to calm his anger, it's just a sentence, we have suffered a lot, it's really unnecessary"

"Remember!" cried out without hearing the beggar, "from this day onwards the beggars will no longer be the beggars." ”

The place was silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

The beggars are no longer the beggars.

For I will give them a new name. I want to completely get rid of them from the word "beggar", I want to let them run like "wolves" on the land south of the Yangtze River, so that everyone who hears their names will be terrified.

I said, "From today onwards, the beggars will be renamed the Wolf Dao Society." I will make all those who once looked down on you pay a thousandfold price. ”

It was still very quiet. I heard the rustle of the autumn wind as it swept the leaves from the crowd, clearly burrowing into my cochlea.

The moment of silence was broken by Ming Shaozhong, and he shouted "Okay!" Immediately, the shouts were boiling, and the crowd cheered.

I'm thrilled that I can finally make good on the promise I made to the beggars.

So, yesterday evening, I ransacked Liu Wufeng's bankhouse. A total of more than 40 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were moved, and more than 70 apprentices in Liu Wufeng's home were killed.

Last night, the last shred of calm I could keep was - I let Liu Wufeng's family go.

Liu Wufeng was knocked to the ground by me, his mouth was full of blood, but he didn't have much expression. He said I was really crazy.

I ignored him.

He asked me why I was doing it.

I told him, except for the treasury in Manlinan, I only know that your family has money.

When I left Liu Wufeng's house, his family was squatting on the ground and wailing in pain. Liu Wufeng was supported by others, and the cold evening breeze stirred his clothes, making him look particularly desolate.

I ordered someone to divide Liu Wufeng's money among all the beggars. Those beggars who had been poor for a long time wept with joy and joy when they held the dazzling gold and silver jewels in their hands, and wept and rejoiced, and in short, wept and laughed, and went crazy over and over again.

I don't know who started first. Nearly 1,000 beggars knelt on the ground one after another, shouting "wise" to our mountain, and thanked them for their kindness. I really enjoyed it.

I issued the first order to them after the formation of the Wolf Dao Society. I said, "From today onwards, you will spare no effort to find out the whereabouts of Chen Boyang and the disciples of the Kuocang Sect, but don't let go of anyone who is involved in the Kuocang Sect." ”

The cry of "Yes!" shook off the tiles of the eaves, severely injuring a beggar standing under the eaves.

I suddenly felt a chill in my heart and realized that although this group of people was numerous, they were a group of beggars who did not understand martial arts after all. And can they really fulfill my orders?

My heart was full of doubts.
