Chapter 66: The Cow of the World
"We ordinary people really don't understand how to do things, but since it was dragged by Master Zongxin, and His Majesty knows about it, this official will naturally not let the master and His Majesty down. Wang Jingchong took a deep breath and said, "But...... Fengxiang is small, and it is probably beyond the power of raising nearly 10,000 soldiers for nothing. ”
"Don't worry, as long as you tell Your Majesty that this matter is ordered by a poor monk, Your Majesty must know the meaning, and when the time comes, he will pull out the silver taels, and then go to Weinan to buy grain and send it to Tongguan. ”
"I see. Although Wang Jingchong didn't understand the reason, he knew what to do.
Zong Xin said: "Lord Wang, if Li Shouzhen comes to ask in person, I will tell me what this is what Zong Xin meant, and don't say anything else." As for the reason...... The poor monk saved your daughter, and there is no way to repay him. ”
"Understood. ”
After the two discussed it, they immediately turned back to the troops.
Wang Baoyu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Daddy, what did Master Zongxin say?"
"It has nothing to do with you, national affairs, don't mix with the little girl. ”
Wang Jingchong has always been very good to his daughter, but when he has a relationship with Zongxin, Wang Jingchong's attitude will change. Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, how could Wang Jingchong not see that his daughter had a good impression of Master Zongxin?
This girl is too ignorant, and Master Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, how can she get married? The more she cares, the more troubles she has.
Zong Xin chuckled and said, "Is Lord Wang going back to Fengxiang to take office?"
"Exactly. ”
"The poor monk is also rushing back to Weinan, and this time he will trouble Lord Wang again. ”
"It's a trivial matter, it's really unbelievable for Master Zongxin's willingness to appreciate his face, Master Please. Wang Jingchong couldn't have imagined that he was too close to Master Zongxin, and he was on the same path no matter how he went back and forth.
Wang Jingchong naturally takes care of everything, there are too many reasons, no matter from which point of view, Zongxin is worth befriending, and even flattering.
Rushing from Kaifeng to Weinan is against the water, and you must use the wind, and the speed is naturally much slower. It took eight days to arrive at the two days and three days along the water, and it took eight days to arrive at the backwater.
Back at Weinan Wharf, a group of people immediately came forward, and the leader was a weak scholar.
"Master Zongxin is polite~" Wen Xiao said politely: "The master is really not a thing in the pool, the battle of Kaifeng can be said to be in the limelight, such as today's heroes look down on the contempt gang, and the prestige of the master is all due to the prestige of the master." ”
Zong Xin said: "The gang leader is polite, it has been about a month since he left Weinan, I don't know what changes have happened to the Ao Gang?"
"Change? Aside from the borrowing of the name of the Gang, there is hardly any resemblance. Now the Ao Gang benefits the township, repairing bridges and roads everywhere, and never oppresses the people. Moreover, I have already recruited 3,000 soldiers for training, as the master said, and these 3,000 soldiers will be able to go out in less than half a year. ”
Wen Qiao didn't expect the Ao Gang to develop so well, since the Ao Gang was included in Master Zongxin's discipleship, everyone in the entire Weinan was surprised. But the style of the Ao Gang immediately changed dramatically, and the people thought that it was the blessing of Master Tuo Zongxin, and they also looked down on the Ao Gang.
In the past, the Ao Gang could talk about street tigers, although they hated it, they couldn't afford to provoke it. But now the people of Weinan are proud to join the Ao Gang, as long as they join the Ao Gang, they will be under Master Zongxin, which is a great honor.
The business of the Ao Gang is also smooth, even if there is a problem with the capital turnover, you can get the goods in arrears, others are not in a hurry, because Master Zongxin's subordinates will never default on the payment, so they can rest assured that the goods will be shipped.
In just one month, Wen Qiao developed the Ao Gang plan into another gang, but kept a name.
The Ao Gang has become the guard of Weinan, and its strength is far superior to that of Huazhou. And the people are very loud and fully supportive. If the Ao Gang rebels, they will immediately be able to occupy the land and become the king.
Wen Liang is not so stupid, how can a mere 3,000 troops dare to rebel? Now in the name of Zongxin, vigorously develop it, only in the future can it get involved in the world.
"Good, well done. Zong Xin said: "How is the business lately? Is the military budget enough?"
"There is no need to pay tribute to Lei Hong and Zhao Siwan, there is no need to curry favor with Zhao Valve, Weinan's business is far better than before, and now I want to recruit another 2,000 soldiers and gather 5,000 to train together. ”
"No. Zong Xin said: "There are not many soldiers in the elite, and it is enough to train 3,000 soldiers in Weinan." Is there any news on Li Shouzhen?"
"Yes, Li Shouzhen has occupied Tong and closed the door and does not come out. ”
The weak scholar knew that Zong Xin cared about Li Shouzhen, and Li Shouzhen would not die for a day, and Zong Xin would not be able to sleep peacefully. However, Tongguan is famous for its solidity in the world, and it may not be easy to storm it, so Guo Wei can only besiege Tongguan and trap Tongguan alive.
"Predictably, he will definitely die, but there is no need to worry. Zong Xin chuckled and said: "Helper, the poor monk didn't eat Weishui stone fish last time he came to Weinan, and he can't miss it again this time." ”
"It's been prepared for the master for a long time, please here. The weak scholar immediately invited Zong Xin to the most famous Linshui Pavilion in Weishui, which was near the Wei River.
If you want to eat the most delicious stone fish, you need to steam the raw water, and the water will not touch the ground. Steamed stonefish can be brought out to the extreme by pouring water directly from the river into the pot. Lei Hong ate this dish at the beginning and decided to accept Dong Changping as his grandson.
The weak scholar will be the entire third floor of the Linshui Pavilion, the group of people sit opposite each other to drink, the table is full of Weinan special food, from which the Weishui stone fish is delicious.
The Khitan warriors lived outside the fortress for a long time, living a nomadic life, where had they ever seen fish? The delicious stone fish made the Khitan warriors almost swallow the fish bones. I've had enough of staying on the boat for the past few days, and I've finally had a chance to relax.
While eating, he suddenly heard footsteps downstairs, and a fierce strong man slowly walked up.
This person is about 40 years old, and his two eyebrows are actually red and straight to the sideburns, and this person's eyes are extremely vicious, not powerful but evil. The jaw is slightly convex, and it looks even more ferocious. What does this look like of a living person? It's like a hell of a ghost.
"This person Zhao Sijuan, Dong Changping's brother-in-law. The weak scholar whispered: "I heard that Dong Changping was taken back to Chang'an by Zhao Siwan to recuperate after being disabled by you, and came to Weinan half a month ago, which seems to have the intention of going to war." Later, when the master's actions in Kaifeng came, Zhao Siwan's attitude immediately changed. ”
Wen Qiao immediately stood up, and then arched his hand and said, "Lord Zhao, please take a seat." ”
Zhao Siwan pursed his lips and sat directly beside Zong Xin, although he looked vicious, he did not have any hostility, and even returned the salute to the weak scholar.
Zhao Siwan is the history of the Yongxing Festival, and the biggest force along the Wei River is Yongxing. Chang'an is only a part of Yongxing. Even Bu Xiangyang, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, wants to give him three thin faces, he can't really be afraid of the leader of the Jianghu gang like Wen Weak Scholar.
Zong Xinzhen didn't expect that Zhao Sijuan, the rival of the enemy, would run to Weinan, so why did he come to eat this meal? It's miserable, Dong Changping is Zhao Siwan's brother-in-law, he came here for a clear purpose, he must be here to avenge Dong Changping. But judging by his attitude, there may be something to ask for.
"Master Zongxin, we don't say dark words, you cut off my financial route, and beat my brother-in-law into a waste, and now my daughter-in-law sent me to kill you, one life for another, but it's fair. ”
"It's fair, kill me. Zong Xin expected that Zhao Siwan would never kill himself, so he deliberately said this to provoke him.
Zhao Siwan said: "What is this called, master? Zhao is not unreasonable. Dong Changping is innocent of all evil, how can he kill a high-ranking monk like Master Zongxin for him? But after all, he is my brother-in-law, and his daughter-in-law is crying all day long at home, how can I live this day?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, as long as it doesn't help you seize the world, other things can still be discussed. ”
"People are self-aware, Zhao is not a talent for governing the country, and he has no intention of the world, so he has no such intention. Zhao Siwan said with a smile: "Zhao heard that Master Zongxin has the ability to measure longevity, and Zhao wanted to ask how much yang longevity there is out of curiosity." ”
Zong Xin looked at Zhao Siwan's face carefully, then pinched his fingers and kept shaking his head.
"It's strange, it's really strange...... Zong Xin said: "The poor monk can't even calculate it, Lord Zhao, your yang longevity is not determined by heaven, but by man." ”
"Master has something to say, please speak. ”
"Lord Zhao, your birthday is extraordinary, it is the birthday of the 'Ox Golden Bull' in the twenty-eighth night of heaven. People with this kind of life are by no means ordinary, thinking that Wang Bodang, the five tiger generals of Wagang Mountain, is this kind of life, even if he is late, he can't count the longevity of Lord Zhao. This kind of personality must be a hero in troubled times. Zong Xin complimented two sentences, although he didn't go straight to the point, but he heard Zhao Siwan's face full of spring breeze.
Indeed, among the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there are only two real heroes in Wagangzhai, and in addition to Qin Shubao, Wang Bodang is the most admirable. Zhao Siwan was not a good person in the first place, and when he heard that his life was the same as that of Wang Bodang, he was full of joy. After all, Wang Bodang was also born as a bandit and finally became a hero.
"The master is polite, but Zhao really wants to know when he will die, there will always be a saying. ”
Zong Xin said: "But if you have this kind of fate, your fate is not up to heaven. 'Niu Jinniu' met 'Lou Jin Dog', and the two lived and died together. Back then, Wang Bodang would rather pierce his body with ten thousand arrows in order to save Li Mi. This is the 'Ox Golden Bull' and the 'Lou Golden Dog', the two must be born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and they will also die on the same day, the same month, and the same year. ”
"Dare to ask the master, who is the 'Lou Jingou' in the world?" Zhao Siwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was very ugly.
"It seems that Lord Zhao has an answer, otherwise his face wouldn't be so ugly?"
Zhao Siwan suddenly thought of someone, could it be him. Born on the same day and month of the same year, there was only one ...... in the dynasty Li Shouzhen.
The relationship between the two is actually good, and they used to joke about it. Zhao Siwan had long seen that Li Shouzhen had the intention of rebelling, but Zhao Sihuan did not have much ambition, so he gradually stayed away. But Li Shouzhen has long promised that if he wins the world, he will definitely let Zhao Siwan be promoted to an official and make a fortune......
Unexpectedly, Li Shouzhen lost power, and now he is sticking to Tongguan...... This situation is exactly the same as that of Li Mi, the king of Wei. Damn Li Shouzhen, he went crazy and affected himself.
If Li Shouzhen was the golden dog of the world, he couldn't let him die for his own life. According to Master Zongxin, the two must live and die together, although Li Shouzhen loses power, he still has to do his best to make him stick to Tongguan and not break it.
Zhao Siwan gritted his teeth, he couldn't imagine that he did not participate in the rebellion and was still affected by Li Shouzhen, could it be that this is a certainty?
