"Thank you so much for saving my life!"
The water monkey led the boy over. The boy was about to kneel down and kowtow, but the water monkey grabbed him.
Qin Sang looked around and motioned for Zheng Kun to be careful. They led the group of children into the nearby woods.
Qin Sang looked the boy up and down, "What's his name? How old is he?"
"My name is Xiao Liuzi. I am fifteen this year. I have had no father or mother since I was a child, and I have no name or surname."
"Read a book?"
"When I was begging for food, a master took me in to spend the night in the school, and I studied there for three years. Later, the master died and I was kicked out."
"Are you all from the north?"
"Well, there was a drought in the north, so they all ran south. Their parents died on the road, and I took them to beg for food."
"You still want to eat for yourself, why are you willing to carry so much burden?"
"Master said when he took me in, if you save a life, you will accumulate a layer of blessing, and you will be reborn in a good child in the next life."
Qin Sang nodded, looked outside the forest, and said, "Those people have left. You should leave too. Don't go north, lest you meet them again."
"Please beg me to take us in!"
Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground with a plop, and the other children all looked up to him. They knelt on the ground and pled in unison.
Qin Sang shook his head, "I can't even eat enough, so why should I take you in?"
Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, "We can do anything. My sister can wash and cook, and we can do hard work. As long as our benefactor gives us a mouthful of food, we will listen to you in everything!"
Qin Sang laughed, "You will kill if you are asked to do so?"
Xiao Liuzi hesitated for a moment, "You can kill! My younger brother and sister lost their parents and were almost cooked and eaten. If others can kill, I can too."
"How can you accumulate blessings by killing people?"
"Then save a few more, and you will accumulate more blessings than you kill."
Qin Sang and Water Monkey looked at each other.
Water Monkey pulled Qin Sang aside, "Hall Master, do you really want to take them in?"
Qin Sang muttered: "It's time to start building a killer echelon..."
Regardless of whether Water Monkey understood or not, Qin Sang walked back and said to Xiao Liuzi: "You can follow me if you want, but you must first recognize a dead man as your father. His name is Wu Dumb, and his grave is in Zhenshui County. I will take you there later."
.You will be called Wu Chuanzong, and you will have to burn paper for him every year and pass on incense to the Wu family. Are you willing?"
"willing!"
Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed, "I will be called Wu Chuanzong from now on. My father is Wu Dumba. I have a name!"
Several other children also jumped for joy.
Qin Sang nodded slightly. He didn't care who Old Wu's original surname was. He had promised to find a son for Old Wu and gave him the surname Wu. This was not a broken promise.
"Zhang Wenkui, take these children and find a place to settle down, take a short rest, and go immediately to inform General Mu of my decision."
"yes!"
As soon as Zhang Wenkui and his men left, Zheng Kun ran in and said, "Master, Liu Ji is out of town!"
The Liu family was a prominent local family and had property outside the county. After confirming each other's identities, Qin and Sang cleaned themselves up outside the city, changed into refugee clothes, and sneaked into the city disguised as servants of the Liu family. It was almost dark.
Liu Ji purchased a piece of property on his own and ran the business, concealing his identity from others.
Everyone quietly came to the backyard, and after confirming that no one was following them, Liu Ji closed the double doors tightly and reported the situation in the city to Qin Sang.
"Reporting to Hall Master Qin, I have found out that there are three people in charge of Hening County now. The county magistrate is named Li Ji. He is only 21 years old and quite capable. He has won the hearts of the people in less than two years after taking office.
The people all call him Li Qingtian. However, this person is a confidant of Jiangzhou Zhizhou. As expected, he will be able to move to the prefecture and county after serving for three years. He has a bright future and may be difficult to recruit. Since Hening County is a small county,
There is only one person in charge of the book. This person's surname is Ma. He is a slick and worldly person. Li Ji Ma is the leader in everything and does not need to be taken seriously. Then there is a person named Chu Dazhuang. This person is not an official, but now the county government officials and Minzhuang are all like this.
If you want to conquer the city, you must capture this person, so you must be careful..."
Qin Sang asked curiously, "This Chu Dazhuang is not an official? How can he convince the public?"
Liu Jidao: "There are two reasons for this. Firstly, this person has a beautiful sister who married Li Ji as his concubine. Secondly, this person is a disciple of Xuanji Temple and worships the head of the Luohan Hall of Xuanji Temple as his teacher, so he can learn the true inheritance.
, his martial arts skills are very good, and he is known as Monk Mang in the world. After his sister married Li Ji, Monk Mang changed his common name and came to Hening County with several brothers. Even the inspection officials did not let him go.
In my eyes, this time Hening County’s armed forces have been deployed and patrols have left, so no one can check him anymore.”
It turned out to be him!
Qin Sang secretly thought that it was no wonder Liu Ji had a heavy look on his face.
Since joining the Bloody Clothes Building, Qin Sang has become very familiar with the affairs of the world. All the famous martial arts figures in the world have registered in the Bloody Clothes Building, and everyone on the list is a top master.
His 'master' Yang Zhen is a martial arts master in the eyes of ordinary people, but he does not have the qualifications to be among them.
But this monk Mang is different. He is not only on the list, but also ranked first. His martial arts skills are probably not much worse than Bai Jianglan's.
However, the most feared thing is not Monk Mang's martial arts, but his master's school, Xuanji Temple.
In the rivers and lakes of the Sui Dynasty, there are two places that are famous, one is Yanlan Villa and the other is Xuanji Temple. They are also known as the two holy places of martial arts and have countless masters.
Yanlan Villa is located in Yanlan Mountain, the imperial capital, and the gate of Xuanji Temple is in Jiangzhou.
Legend has it that there are innate masters in these two sects who have such a transcendent status that even the government must show courtesy to them.
Qin Sang knew more about the inside story. Xuanji Temple and Yanlan Villa were not just martial arts sects. Many of the masters in the puppet emperor's court came from these two holy places.
Now the Duling County garrison general is surrounded by many masters from Xuanji Temple who are personally protecting him.
Monk Mang was born in the Luohan Hall of Xuanji Temple. The people in the Xueyi Tower in Hening County may not be able to defeat him.
Ever since King Dongyang rebelled, the biggest reason why he was able to conquer Yingnan County so smoothly in less than a year is that King Dongyang is the emperor's brother, and he is of the same bloodline as the former emperor. It is not an invasion by foreigners. The officers and soldiers who defended the city
Once I see that the situation is over, there is no burden to surrender.
But Jiangzhou Zhizhou was different. When King Dongyang was the crown prince, he was the current emperor's lackey, and he had made meritorious service in seizing the throne, so it was impossible to surrender.
Since Li Ji was Zhizhou's confidant, there was no need to discuss the matter of his surrender.
Unable to seize by force or surrender, Qin Sang asked Liu Ji what arrangements he had.
"My subordinates have two plans. One is to hold the county magistrate Li Ji hostage to force Chu Dazhuang to open the city gate, and the other is to poison him. As long as he is poisoned to kill Chu Dazhuang, the situation will be successful, but..."
Liu Ji glanced at Qin Sang secretly, "Both of these strategies must be done at the right time to ensure that they are foolproof. Today, my subordinates learned that Li Ji wanted to entertain the elders of Hening County at a banquet the day after tomorrow to discuss how the refugees would cause chaos and stabilize the place.
When things happen, my subordinates can bring people into the banquet and take advantage of the chaos..."
