Chapter Seventy-Five: Chasing the Waves in the Northwest

Zheng Yu said: "This is a very good idea, as long as we can stop those people from transporting the treasure out before Miss Ming is rescued, and then wait for the opportunity to take it back." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chai Rong said: "Big brother, aren't you going to join us?"

Jing Xining said: "I'm going to worship the Xingyue Slow Palace to save the moon ballad." ”

Chai Rong was a little worried, and said: "Big brother, the flowers are ruthless, and they are insidious and cunning, I know that I can't persuade you to save Miss Ming, and I don't worry if you go alone, I'll accompany you!"

Jing Xining said: "Your task is also very important, there is a shortage of manpower here, you have to stay, besides, Senior Qiu will also go when the time comes, Senior Qiu is a senior sister with strong flowers, with her, it will be fine with the strength of the two of us." ”

Chai Rong knew that he couldn't persuade him, and replied: "Okay, big brother, don't worry, we are here, we will definitely not let them be transported to Shu Kingdom, you can go and save Miss Ming with peace of mind!"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Big brother, you go to worship the Xingyue Slow Palace to save Miss Ming, we will guard this batch of treasures, what should Miss Shu do?"

Jing Xining looked at Shu Lianyi and was about to speak, Shu Lianyi stretched out her palm in front of Jing Xining and said: "You don't have to say it, I know that you want to drive me back again, I stole the remnant picture, my father is still angry, I don't dare to go back, I want to go to the Xingyue Slow Palace with you." ”

Jing Xining said: "Miss Shu, this time I went to worship the Xingyue Slow Palace to..." ”

Jing Xining said: "You don't know what kind of person Hua Yinong is, but this time I went to her lair." ”

Shu Lianyi said: "I have already experienced life and death once when I was with you in Guyun Mountain, do you still care about this time, as long as you are by your side, I am not afraid of dangerous places." Shu Lianyi said sincerely and decisively, with a firm expression, Jing Xining didn't know how to reply to her for a while, so she had to give up and said, "Okay, then you can go with me, but you must promise me, you can't be willful when the time comes, you must listen to me, otherwise, I will never let you go." Seeing that Jing Xining was relieved, Shu Lianyi couldn't stop nodding and agreed. In order to avoid the Shu masters next to them, everyone re-entered the stone cave.

After entering the stone cave, Zheng Yu said: "Hua Yinong is not greedy for treasure, but under the instruction of Meng Rentao, the king of Mao, it is estimated that the person who will come to get the treasure should also be Meng Rentao's subordinates." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "But with her flowery personality, how can she be at the mercy of others?"

Zheng Yu said: "The flowery apprentice Meng Siyou is Meng Rentao's daughter, maybe there is some relationship between them that we don't know." ”

Chai Rong said: "According to Brother Zheng's words, there must be a lot of people coming from them, and when the time comes, just the three of us will definitely not be able to do it, and we must get Weizhou to move reinforcements." ”

Jing Xining said: "We are going to compete with them now, today should be the eighth day of the first lunar month, and there are still twenty days before the sixth day of the next lunar month, in this way, third brother, you go to Weizhou to inform Shouxin and Brother Han, and let them bring the brothers of the Qingque Gang to rush here, don't go up the mountain after you arrive, just hide under the mountain, Brother Rong and Brother Zheng stay here, and then make plans." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "There are more than a dozen people guarding outside, what if they find out after leaving?"

Chai Rong said: "As long as we stay inside, we shouldn't be suspected, and when they are careless, we will leave while it is dark." Therefore, on the first night, Jing Xining and Shu Lianyi quietly went down the mountain, and on the second day, Zhao Kuangyin sneaked out quietly.

Soon after Shu Lianyi stole the remnants from Shu Xin, Shu Xin received an urgent edict from the imperial court, and Li Jiyuan, a member of the northern party Xiang clan, led troops to attack, and had already connected three states, and 100,000 people urgently asked Shu Xin to return to Beijing to resist the enemy. When Shu Xin was leaving, everyone thought that Shu Xin could finally return to Bianzhou, Shu Gang was ready to seal the letter pavilion, Shu Xin shook his head and said: "At present, the Dangxiang clan is attacking, the momentum is huge, and the court needs me, so I am allowed to go back, but the Dangxiang people are just to plunder food and population, and they have no great ambitions, and the emperor will still let me come back when they are repulsed, so this Xinting will not be back for long." ”

After hearing this, Shu Gang complained: "How can the emperor be like this, half of the Great Jin Dynasty was defeated by your father-in-law, how can the new emperor treat you like this, if you recruit it, you will come, and if you wave it, you will go." ”

Shu Xin said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is our duty as a courtier, as long as the emperor says a word, even if I die, I will not hesitate." ”

It didn't take long for Shu Xin to go to the northwest to drive away the party members, and as Shu Xin expected, after Shi Chonggui lifted the threat from the northwest, he sent Shu Xin back. Shu Gang and Shu Xin didn't expect that Shu Xin would come back so soon, Shu Jian asked, "Father-in-law, did this trip to the northwest go well?"

Shu Xin said: "The Dangxiang clan is not yet in the climate, but their power is increasing day by day, and I have already suggested to the emperor that I can't help but guard against them." ”

Shu Gang said: "Isn't the emperor ready to let you return to the court?"

Shu Xin said: "Wouldn't it be better to stay away from the strife within the imperial court and live happily in this river and lake?"

Shu Jian said: "I'm afraid the emperor won't let you be so idle." ”

Shu Xin sighed and said: "What you said is right, when I was leaving, the emperor summoned Qi alone, saying that our movements were too slow, let me hurry up and recruit the forces of the rivers and lakes, and then use them to fight against thieves in various places." ”

Shu Gang said: "This emperor will use his mouth, and he won't even give us a single soldier, but he wants us to help him sweep away the anti-thieves, which is too difficult for a strong man!"

Shu Xin said: "I can't say that, after all, we can transfer the officers and soldiers of the state capitals nearby, now Feng Dao and Jing Yanguang are in charge of the government, Jing Yanguang is bent on opposing the Khitan, but the current strength we can't completely tear the skin with the Khitan, so we need a lot of troops in the north, and the emperor has no choice but to let us recover the forces of the rivers and lakes for the court to use to exterminate the bandits in various places." ”

Shu Jian said: "Now among these forces in the rivers and lakes, the most powerful is the Qingfeng Sect, but we have already been to the Qingfeng Sect, and their sect leader Shi Wuyan doesn't seem to buy it, and he has no heart to cooperate with the imperial court." The second is the five major sects, but the five major sects have always regarded themselves as righteous and regarded the court as jackals, and even worse, there may be sects that secretly support bandits, and it is impossible to cooperate with the imperial court. ”

Shu Xin said: "You are right, but you only see one side of the matter, not the other side." Although Shi Wuyan didn't want to cooperate with us, Yu Zaidao beside him was quite tempted by the conditions we proposed last time, if we could help him become the sect leader, then the Qingfeng Sect could be used by us. As for the five major sects, Ding Wangzhou of the Xiaoye faction died at the hands of Mr. Ren, and the new successor was his junior brother Yang Jianshen, and this Yang Jianshen fought for power and profit, and was a chess piece that could be used. ”

Shu Gang said: "But Ding Wangzhou was killed by Mr. Ren, and the Xiaoye faction regards us as enemies, even if he is willing to cooperate with us, others may not be willing." ”

Shu Xin said: "As long as we give Zu Yang Jianshen benefits, I think he will be able to handle this matter well." ”

Shu Jian said: "What about the other four factions?"

Shu Xin said: "The most tricky thing at the moment is the Shaolin faction and the Shanwu faction, the abbot of the Shaolin faction Zhiyuan and the Shanwu faction are not as unfathomable as the Taoist martial arts, Han Xun of the Yanshan faction and Ding Wangzhou have a very good personal relationship, he will definitely find us for revenge, as for the three saints of the Sword Gate, these people are very sleek, and they will not easily become enemies with us when they can't see the situation clearly." ”

Shu Gang said: "My father-in-law analyzed it really thoroughly. ”

Shu Xin said: "This is the same as being a general, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other, can we not be defeated in a hundred battles, now we will start with the Qingfeng Sect and the Xiaoye Sect, if the other factions do not obey, when the Qingfeng Sect is subdued, we will use the Qingfeng Sect to pull them out one by one." ”

Shu Jian said: "Seeing that my father-in-law is in his chest, he must already have an idea. ”

Shu Xin said: "I heard that Zhu Zhen of the Xiangzhou Branch was capsized in the gutter by a small Qingque Gang when he was in Weizhou, Zhu Zhen has been hiding this matter and not reporting it, if Shi Wuyan knows about this matter, the face of the Qingfeng Sect will be lost to him, do you think Shi Wuyan can spare him?"

Shu Gang said: "But what does this matter have to do with Shi Wuyan and Yu Zaidao?"

Shu Xindao: "The crux of the problem is that Zhu Zhen is Yu Zaidao's junior brother, and he is also a person that Yu Zaidao trusts very much, if Shi Wuyan disposes of Zhu Zhen, it will inevitably increase the suspicion between him and Yu Zaidao, of course, it is impossible to completely separate the two of them with this alone, but a few more things are connected together, the so-called three people become tigers, with Shi Wuyan's temper, they will definitely turn their faces at that time, and we will help Yu Zaidao to help him make up his mind, and it will come naturally." ”

Shu Jian said: "The righteous father is clever, then we will do it one by one until their relationship is completely broken." ”

Shu Xin said: "You spread the news now, saying that the Qingque Gang almost smashed the Xiangzhou Branch, and finally Zhu Zhen knelt on the ground and begged for mercy before he escaped, but he was abused by the leader of the Qingque Gang before he was released, but he never dared to step into the territory of the Qingque Gang again." ”

Shu Gang said: "The righteous father is smart, so it is really killing two birds with one stone, and you can also use this to hit Jing Xining's kid." ”

Sure enough, soon after, the news reached the ears of Shi Wuyan in Guyun Mountain, Shi Wuyan heard it, he was furious, and asked Yu Zaidao: "What the hell is going on? Is Zhu Zhen a waste, my Qingfeng Church Hall Xiangzhou Branch was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy by a Qingque Gang or Sparrow Gang who had never heard of it, and he dared to conceal such a big thing and not report it, and did he take me as the sect leader in his eyes, you quickly send someone to call Zhu Zhen back to me, I want to ask, what the hell is going on?"

Yu Zaidao said on the side: "Sect Master, you are angry first, and your subordinates only heard about it not long ago, but it is by no means as miserable as the rumors say, and the current Xiangzhou Branch Altar is also stable and calm, without the slightest damage!" Shi Wuyan glanced at Yu Zaidao, "Elder Yu, it seems that you know about this matter, why don't you tell me?" Yu Zaidao hurriedly explained: "The subordinates don't want the sect leader to be angry with you, and it's been so long, do you say yes?"

Shi Wuyan glanced up at Yu Zai and said, "Hmph, don't think I don't know, Zhu Zhen is your junior brother, and he is obedient to you, and he will tell you everything, you just heard about it?"

Yu Zai said: "My subordinates really don't know, sect leader. ”

Shi Wuyan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it, quickly send someone to call Zhu Zhen back to me, I will ask him face to face." ”

"Yes, yes, yes", Yu Zaidao was resigned, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhu Zhen.
