Chapter Ninety-Three: The Demon Gate Strikes
It's messed up, it's a complete mess!
The leader of the alliance turned out to be the master of Shenwei Hou?!!
This shocking news exploded in the crowd like a bomb, blowing up all the innate heads in a daze.
Looking at the Shenwei Marquis who was very respectful to Tang Yuan, everyone had a feeling of dreaming; Who is the Shenwei Marquis? That is the prince who will inherit the throne of Xiliang in the future, and he is a big man who wants to command more than 100,000 troops in the Northwest Theater, and this kind of arrogant son of heaven is actually the apprentice of the master of the Sanzang Alliance of Leiyin Temple?
Since ancient times, martial arts and the imperial court have been incompatible, of course, it is not that martial arts and the imperial court are opposite, but that martial arts and the imperial court have always been in a state of confrontation. The martial arts people pursue recklessness, and they don't like the high-pressure rule of the imperial court, and the imperial court doesn't like the powerful but disobedient 'Diao Min' of the martial arts people.
If it weren't for the fact that the martial arts people took the revitalization of the Central Plains as their own responsibility, and at the same time made a lot of efforts in foreign wars, the imperial court would have sent a large army to encircle and suppress the Warrior Alliance, how could they still allow the Warrior Alliance to develop and grow.
But even if the Martial Arts Alliance has a lot of strength now, it is still vulnerable in front of the imperial court, and this is the reason why the Northwest Martial Arts are so jealous of Shenwei Hou.
But now there's no need to worry at all!
The alliance leader turned out to be the master of Shenweihou, which means that after Shenweihou inherits the throne of Xiliang, the Northwest Martial Arts can take advantage of the situation to develop and grow, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to take off the hat of the weakest region in the Western Regions.
But then again, the leader of the Sanzang Alliance turned out to be the master of Shenwei Hou, why does this matter sound so incredible?
But after all, it's a good thing, no matter how he became a disciple of the alliance leader, maybe he was also subdued by the alliance leader's magical ability, haha.
Most people were happy when they knew that Shenwei Hou Sima Lian was Tang Yuan's apprentice, but only Wei Yue was in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, fortunately, when Sanzang was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance, he didn't make things difficult for him too much. Wei Yue thought secretly, otherwise, if he annoyed Sanzang and sued the army of Shenwei Hou, I am afraid that the Sword Gate would completely become a handful of loess.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that even the Marquis of Shenwei is the apprentice of the alliance leader, and the disciples of the alliance leader are really all over the world. Wei Yue lost no time in patting Tang Yuan's horse.
"Well, don't be poor. Tang Yuan said, "Come on, bring another chair." A disciple next to him hurriedly moved a fragrant wood chair and put it beside Tang Yuan, and Sima Lian walked to Tang Yuan and sat down.
After all, Shenwei Hou Sima Lian's identity is different, if he lets the sect heads below him sit together, it will be too expensive, and the innate head of the sect also feels awkward and can't let go.
"Report~" A long voice came from the mountain gate, "Li Taishou of Cangwu County came with a heavy gift to congratulate the leader of the Sanzang League on his ascension to the position of the leader of the Northwest Alliance. ”
"Li Taishou?" A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Yuan's eyes, his friendship with Li Taishou was very shallow, how could this Taishou still come to give gifts in person? The others were not interested when they heard that it was the Taishou of Cangwu County who came, and the dignified Shenwei Hou was still sitting in front of them, what is a little Taishou.
After a cup of tea, a lean old man in a python robe was brought up.
"Hello to all the leaders, hello to the leaders of the Sanzang Alliance!" Li Taishou trembled and bowed to the various heads and Tang Yuan present.
At this time, Tang Yuan sat on the throne of the alliance leader, looking at the innate heads distributed on both sides, and then at the respectful Li Taishou below. He suddenly had a feeling in his heart that at this time, he was like Song Jiang, the boss in the Water Margin, and the heads of the sects next to him were all heroes.
The thought flashed through my mind. After Li Taishou worshipped, the thin old hand waved down, and someone immediately brought up a big red iron box.
"The leader of the Sanzang Alliance," Li Taishou bent down slightly and said to Tang Yuan, "This is a little bit of humble thought, congratulations on your successful election as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance in the Northwest Region, and I hope that the Northwest Martial Arts will develop and grow under your leadership..."
"That old man surnamed Li, how can you grind and chirp so much?!" someone said dissatisfiedly, "Tell me directly, what kind of treasure are you giving to our alliance leader." ”
"It's just a small courtesy, and three thousand taels of silver is not a tribute. Li Taishou hurriedly said. After the person next to him opened the big red iron box, a dazzling white light flashed inside.
"Silver... So much!" After the white light dissipated, everyone could see the neat snowflakes and silver in the iron box. The reason why many innate leaders were so surprised was not that they had never seen so much silver, but that they couldn't think of why a court official would be willing to spend so much money to curry favor with the martial arts alliance leader.
However, thinking of the previous Shenwei Hou, everyone seemed to understand something. Shenwei Hou is the apprentice of the alliance leader, if the alliance leader is served well, it is equivalent to catching up with Shenwei Hou, and when the time comes, with the help of Shenwei Hou, I am afraid that this Li Taishou's official career will be smooth sailing.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but praise this Li Taishou for being shrewd, and he actually put his mind on the alliance leader.
"A Taishou, a casual congratulatory gift of three thousand taels of silver, it seems that you are too shouden. A slightly dignified man's voice rang out.
"Where, where. Li Taishou said modestly, "It's just barely getting by, and it's not much to talk about." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Taishou felt that something was wrong, why was this man's voice so familiar?
Raising his head with a puzzled gaze, Li Taishou happened to meet the gaze of Sima Lian, who had a stern face, and suddenly he was struck by lightning.
"Hou, Hou. The corners of Li Taishou's mouth trembled, and his heart was bitter. How could it be, how could Shenweihou be in this place? Could it be that he was mistaken?
On the way here, he heard that the Leiyin Temple in Wanfo Mountain was surrounded by some army, and he was glad that he didn't have to spend so much silver to curry favor with the Sanzang monks. But before this good mood could spread throughout his body, Li Taishou heard another news.
It turned out that the leader of those armies was a friend of Sanzang of Leiyin Temple, and when he heard the news, Li Taishou panicked, and he didn't even inquire who the leader of the army was, so he ran to Leiyin Temple to send a congratulatory gift to Tang Yuan.
Unexpectedly, the person leading the army turned out to be Shenweihou. Li Taishou remembered, and when he went up the mountain, he glanced at those troops, as if... It is the ironclad army in the northwest of the famous town.
"Hou, Hou. Li Taishou's throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't speak for a long time. The imperial court stipulated that officials and martial arts people were not allowed to have close contacts, but he sent a congratulatory gift to a league leader, and he was so respectful...
It's over, Li Taishou's heart is cold, this kind of thing was actually encountered by Shenweihou himself, I am afraid that not only his official position will not be guaranteed, but he will even be imprisoned.
"Master, I didn't expect this Taishou of Cangwu County to be able to come up with a gift of three thousand taels, it seems that he usually looks like a Qing official, but he is doing the business of the common people. Sima Lian said to Tang Yuan, "Although he is here to pay tribute, I still have to deal with him!"
Tang Yuan nodded, this is an internal matter of the imperial court, and he is not good at talking.
"No!" After Li Taishou heard Sima Lian call Tang Yuan Master, his originally godless eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly explained, "Master Hou, please listen to my explanation, I have not embezzled or accepted bribes, and I have no fish and flesh people!"
"All this money I earned from doing business behind my wife's back. Hou Ye Mingjian, I am really a Qing official!"
"The imperial court has explicitly ordered officials not to do business, but you secretly communicate with merchants, then you will be fined to pay another three thousand taels of silver to Leiyin Temple!" Sima Lian said sternly. But his heart was laughing, what Li Taishou said was the truth, he did not have fish and meat and was doing business.
But Lei Yin Temple is very short of money now, so let's take this Taishou knife.
"Thank you, thank you. Li Taishou heard that he could settle the matter with another three thousand taels of silver, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Sima Lian.
"You have to thank Master Sanzang. Sima Lian said lightly, "Master Sanzang is Benhou's master, do you understand?"
Sima Lian bit the word 'master' very hard, and Li Taishou suddenly realized. Sanzang monk, but the holy monk of Sanzang turned out to be the master of Hou Ye? It seems that the sky of Cangwu County will change in the future, and Leiyin Temple is the actual ruler of Cangwu County.
Li Taishou's matter was just a small episode, and the banquet continued at Tang Yuan's signal.
It's just that the more than twenty seats are still seven or eight empty, which means that there are the same number of sects that have not yet come to Leiyin Temple to worship the mountain.
Tang Yuan's eyebrows raised, he now knew that after the alliance leader was elected, the other sects had to come to worship the mountain, if he didn't go, it meant that he didn't recognize this martial arts alliance leader. There is still a long way to go to revitalize Leiyin Temple, and Tang Yuan becoming the leader of the Northwest Martial Arts Alliance is only the first step, but the first step is so unsmooth, there are seven or eight sects that do not come to worship the mountain.
Wei Yue frowned, not coming to worship the mountain is called a provocation to the alliance leader in the martial arts, and the alliance leader can crusade and punish those disobedient sects in an open and honest manner.
"Who are those sects that didn't come?" Wei Yue asked the person next to him.
"It is the Qingyun Temple, the Baiyun Temple and several other small sects of the Daomen. The disciple next to him replied. Wei Yue nodded, knowing in his heart.
Time passed little by little, and those sects still didn't come.
Tang Yuan's face was still the same as that of an ancient well, but Sima Lian beside him was impatient, and kept rubbing the jasper wrench on his thumb, and the ironclad army on the mountain was also ready to move, which made the other sect leaders tremble. It seems that as long as Sima Lian and Tang Yuan give an order, the ironclad army will be killed by the whole army and set foot on those disobedient sects.
"Master, something happened. When Tang Yuan picked up the cup of water and sipped the tea, Wu Zhen walked into his ear and said,
"I just received the news that those sects that didn't come didn't come to worship the mountain, but they were attacked by the demon gate on the way here, and they were all killed!"
Tang Yuan clutched the hand of the teacup and tightened it fiercely.
