Zhu Chenmu's face suddenly became very ugly:

"Okay, since you two are old friends, let's talk first, I'm a little unwell, I have to go back to rest!"

Then he said to Steward Xu beside him:

"Lao Xu, you can treat my friends well for me!"

With that, he left the attic with the help of the scholar and the two women, and went to the back.

At this time, in addition to a few women serving here in the attic, there were only three people left on the table: Du Yixin, Zhu Qi and Li Fuda.

Li Fuda took the initiative to toast a glass of wine to Du Yi:

"Brother Du, count it up, we really haven't seen each other for a long time, I didn't expect you to be still heroic, brother, not less than back then!"

After drinking this glass of wine, Du did not forget to say:

"Yes, Brother Li, you are the same, you are both fifty years old, and you haven't seen any old age!"

Li Fuda smiled:

"Brother Du, do you think I should have been old?"

At this time, Zhu Qi next to him said:

"***, it doesn't look old, but now the Maitreya Sect under your leadership is about to surpass the Explanation Sect and become the world's largest religion!"

Li Fuda smiled at this time:

"By the way, county lord, don't remind me, I forgot to come here to see Brother Du this time, I have something to talk about!"

Du Yi asked curiously:

"Brother Li, will there be something to talk to me about, I have nothing now!"

Li Fuda turned around and pointed his finger to due south:

"Presumably Brother Du should be able to guess what I want to talk to you about now, right?"

Du didn't forget to look at his finger, and immediately said:

"It seems that it must be related to the Shao Yuan Festival, right?"

Li Fuda smiled again:

"That's right, it's teaching!"

Du did not forget to ask:

"Could it be that Brother Li wants to cooperate with all factions in the rivers and lakes to deal with the teachings together?"

Li Fuda nodded:

"Brother Du, it's really smart, since you've already guessed it, I don't know what you think about cooperating with our Maitreya Sect, Gongzi Du?"

Du did not forget to hesitate a little at this time, after all, since he left, the Maitreya Sect has also been notorious in the rivers and lakes over the years, almost on par with the exposition of the teachings, how can he be the master of the major factions in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know how to answer Li Fuda for a while.

Li Fuda also seemed to see Du Yi's thoughts, and said:

"Actually, we still have a few days to spare, Du Gongzi, you don't have to worry, as long as you arrive at Longhu Mountain, you can come to me at any time after discussing with those famous and decent people, because this Dragon Boat Festival in Longhu Mountain will not be missed by our Maitreya Sect." ”

Du did not forget and said:

"Okay, when I get to Longhu Mountain and meet the major factions in the rivers and lakes, I will discuss this matter with them. ”

I don't know when Zhu Chenmu returned to the attic, and when she saw the two of them finish, she said with a smile:

"Actually, I can also help you deal with the exposition, as long as you are willing, I can dispatch 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxi at any time, and a teaching is nothing at all!"

Du didn't forget to hurriedly ask Zhu Chenmu:

"Could it be Brother Zhu, who has already made preparations?"

Zhu Chenmu nodded:

"Yes, my soldiers and horses were originally going to attack Nanjing with King Tang, King Huai, and King Yi, but now the situation has changed, so I can borrow troops to help you!"

Li Fuda turned to look at Zhu Chenmu:

"I think if Zhu Daguan helps, he will definitely not return empty-handed, right?"

Zhu Chenmu smiled at Li Fuda again:

"Yes, I do have some needs!"

Li Fuda stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please:

"Then don't sell Guanzi, Zhu Daguan, please say it!"

Zhu Chenmu first pointed at Du Don't forget:

"My first request is that Brother Du can promise to be my first marshal in the future!"

As soon as Du didn't forget to see that Zhu Chenmu actually had this idea, he hurriedly wanted to refuse, but Li Fuda next to him said:

"Brother Du, you listen to Zhu Daguan's request first, don't worry!"

Interrupted.

Zhu Chenmu continued:

"My second request is to hope that the snobbery of the Maitreya Sect will never go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and also withdraw from the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

At this time, it was obvious that Li Fuda's face turned blue in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Chenmu said:

"My third request is that after attacking the main altar of exposition in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, I will recruit these exposition disciples. ”

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to the two of them:

"I'm done, you two are free to give your opinions. ”

Li Fuda first rushed to say:

"Zhu Daguan, it is inevitably difficult for some strong people to be angry with these requests!"

At this time, a few black-clothed people had already brought up a piece of the snobbery of the various sects of the Ming Dynasty and put it on the table where they had just eaten, and the main sects were represented by various colored chess pieces.

At a glance, it can be clearly seen that because there is a national teacher Shao Yuanjie behind the teaching, the snobbery at this time is still all over the north and south of the river, including Liaodong, Jingshi, Shandong, northern Shanxi, Nanjing, Jiangbei, Jiangxi, Fujian, southern Zhejiang and other places.

And the Maitreya Sect because of the occupation of the White Lotus Sect helm Zhongnan Mountain, but lost the central and southern parts of the Beijing Division and the northern Jin region, at this time the snobbery also reached Guanzhong, Hexi, the central and southern Jin, and even all the places west of Hangu Pass, but the Maitreya Sect also has an important wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, the monasteries of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, almost all of which are in the hands of the Maitreya Sect.

Looking at the entire land of Henan, except for the fiefdoms of King Zhao and King Zhou, there is also a Shaolin Temple, and other places are actually in the hands of King Tang.

The northern part of Huguang is the snobbery of the vassal kings and the snobbery of the Wudang faction, and in the south, except for the Hengshan faction, almost all of them are occupied by a white-clothed sect that has recently emerged, and this white-clothed religion is naturally the White Lotus Sect that was almost served by the Maitreya Sect.

Other places are dotted with other well-known sects.

After reading this snobbery, Du Bu asked:

"Could it be that these places are all colluded between officers and soldiers and sects?"

Zhu Chenmu explained:

"Of course, which sect of the rivers and lakes dares to confront the imperial court now? Doesn't the imperial court also rely on the snobbish influence of these rivers and lakes to govern the local area? Isn't there a saying that 'a strong dragon does not suppress the ground'?"

Du didn't forget to nod:

"Yes!"

Then he said:

"I also heard Brother Zhu's request just now, I think I have the same idea as Brother Li, but Brother Li is for the Maitreya brothers under his command, and I am for the people, so I can only advise Brother Zhu, let's do it yourself, thank you Brother Zhu for this meal, I and the county lord have to rush to Longhu Mountain, so I will leave." ”

Then he got up and pulled Zhu Qi downstairs.

Zhu Chenmu shouted loudly to Du Yiyi and the two at this time:

"After you go two miles south, someone will prepare horses for you, and since we can't cooperate, we are still brothers. ”

Li Fuda also got up at this time and said goodbye to Zhu Chenmu:

"I originally intended to match the Tang King and Zhu Daguan, but now you mentioned the matter of cooperation, but at this time, although I don't agree, I haven't asked the opinions of the brothers in the sect, so I will definitely give you an answer in the next two days." ”

Zhu Chenmu sighed:

"Okay, I'm here to wait for ***'s final reply, I believe *** should know how to make trade-offs. ”

Du Bu Bu and Zhu Qi went all the way to the south, walked two miles, and sure enough, they met a big man who was leading two horses, one black and one white, to drink water in the Le'an River in front of them.

When Zhu Qi saw his beloved horse again, he immediately rushed over and asked the big man:

"Where did you get this white horse?"

After Bai Ma saw Zhu Qi, he immediately stopped drinking water as if he had seen an old man, turned his head around, and sniffed Zhu Qi everywhere.

The man shook his head:

"I don't know, it's just that the master ordered me to lead the horse and wait for the two of you here!"

Zhu Qi was about to clench his fist and beat this man out of anger, but was stopped by Du Chuan who came from behind:

"Qi'er, forget it, it's not that it stole your horse, it also acted on orders, maybe the horse thief sold your beloved horse to that Zhu Chenmu, you see that your horse has not lost weight recently, but has gained weight, it must be that Zhu Chenmu's subordinates who took care of you well, you should thank it." ”

Zhu Qi touched the white horse's head:

"Well, I don't bother with it, just come back with my beloved horse. ”

At this time, the man said to the two of them again:

"My master knew that the two of them were going to cross the river, so the boats were ready, and at the ferry, a kilometer to the west, they could just try the good of the two horses. ”

Du did not forget to make a gesture of thanks to this man:

"Thank you, brother, then we will take our leave, and thank your master for taking care of me and the county lord when I go back for me. ”

After speaking, he rode a horse with Zhu Qi and headed towards the ferry.

Unexpectedly, the two horses really walked like flying, and as soon as they ran, they had already arrived at the ferry.

At this time, a large boat had stopped at the ferry, and as soon as they saw the two men coming, two boatmen immediately came and led the boat for them.

It was 10 p.m. when the two of them set off, because the two horses were as vigorous as flying, and at dusk, they had arrived in Wannian County, and the two people who got the BMW were no longer in a hurry, and were ready to rest for a night in Wannian County, and then go south.

Wannian County, the county seat that was built in Zhengde in seven years, so the entire county is much smaller than other counties, but Du Yiyi and Zhu Qi found that in this small county town, there are actually crowds, and the excitement is not inferior to that of a state capital.

Because there were many people on the street, after the two of them entered the city, they had to lead the horses and squeeze forward, but they couldn't squeeze anymore, and then Zhu Qi pushed a pedestrian next to him who had just squeezed him:

"What the hell is going on here, why are there so many of them?"

The man was an honest man, and he was not angry, but said with a smile:

"This girl, you must not know, there are four big families in the city today to celebrate their birthdays, so almost all of us come to the city to pay our respects. ”

Zhu Qi complained:

"How can there be so many lives, the people here are really good!"

The man explained:

"Because we have a custom that is to live every ten, so no matter whether the child is ten or twenty years old, the old man will have a birthday at the age of fifty or sixty, and today there are four families at once, so there are naturally more people, but almost all of them go to the last house, the last one. ”

The man squeezed forward.

Du Buyi also sighed at this time:

"Qi'er, it seems that we can't get by, find a place to sit and wait, and then go to the inn over there when there are fewer people!"

Zhu Qi nodded:

"What else can you do but find a place to wait? You men are still stiff and not afraid of squeezing, and we women will suffer. ”

So they retreated to a sparsely populated woods outside the city, tied their horses, and found a place to sit and watched the people of the city come and go with their gifts.

At this time, Zhu Qi saw an old man carrying a burden and selling peaches passing by, so he said to Du Yi:

"Brother Du, I want to eat peaches, can you go buy some for me?"

Du didn't forget to nod:

"Okay, then you wait for me here, I'll go back!"
