Zhao Mingze and Zhou Tong reached out to the knife at their waists at the same time.
He looked like he was ready to kill someone at any time.
Seeing their actions, Xu Shiheng quickly smiled and explained: "Two generals, please don't misunderstand me. In fact, the two generals and I have the same idea."
Zhao Mingde and Zhou Tong didn't know whether Xu Shiheng heard their conversation?
However, the two of them were not stupid enough to directly admit that they wanted to rebel in front of strangers.
"Oh, what do you and I think?" Zhou Tong said, pretending not to understand.
Zhao Mingde had a bad temper and quickly pulled out the knife: "Brother Zhou, why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Let's just kill him with one knife to save trouble."
"Otherwise, once the news is leaked, there will be no good fruits for you and me to eat."
The White Lotus Sect has been able to dominate the world for such a long time, so naturally it does not have anything to rely on.
Otherwise, they would have been completely wiped out by the imperial court.
In the White Lotus Sect, there are many masters with superb martial arts skills.
Of course, these people are not as good as those well-trained soldiers on the battlefield.
But if it is a personal killing, the strength of these people is very terrifying.
Zhao Mingde and Zhou Tong had also competed with the masters around the altar leader before.
As a result, the two of them were no match for those masters.
If you can barely make three moves, you will be overpowered by the opponent.
The gap in knowledge is so huge that if it were a life and death fight, the two of them might not be able to catch a single move.
"You idiot!" Zhou Tong cursed angrily.
He was also blind. How could he discuss such a fatal matter with an idiot like Zhao Mingde?
Before the other party said anything, he had already leaked all the details about himself.
If the other party really has bad intentions, this alone can kill them.
Facing the shining knife, Xu Shiheng's expression did not change.
"Since I dare to come and meet the two generals, I am naturally well prepared."
"If I die here, someone will naturally tell His Highness the King of Han where and what I did there."
"If you two feel that His Highness the King of Han cannot guess anything, then please go ahead and take action. I will never fight back."
As he said that, he actually looked like he was waiting to die.
But at this time, Zhao Mingde really didn't dare to take action and roared angrily: "Damn it, what on earth do you want to do? Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
"Believe it or not, after I kill you now, I will immediately surrender to the imperial court. Wait for your people to tell this news to the bullshit King of Han. We are already members of the imperial court. What else can he do to us?"
He spoke harshly, but even his harsh words could not hide his guilty conscience.
Chen Xueying is surrounded not only by the masters of the White Lotus Sect, but also by his men who have experienced battles for a long time.
If Chen Xueying is really angered, who knows if this guy will fight to the death with them?
After all, the people in the imperial court may not go to great lengths to protect them.
Maybe when the time comes, they will be regarded as abandoned children.
Chen Xueying showed an expression of sudden realization on her face: "Sure enough, as I guessed, the two generals want to join the imperial court."
Although he had this idea, Zhao Mingde still felt a little uncomfortable when these words were spoken by others.
"That's right, we just want to join the Dog Court, so what?"
"You have seen what happened today. That guy Chen Xueying is hesitant and he is not a successful guy at all. Is it possible that he wants us to die with him?"
There was a snap.
Xu Shiheng threw away the folding fan with one hand, shook it gently and said: "The two generals are right. Xu Shiheng is indeed not the master of the Ming Dynasty."
"Although we have the intention to restore the world, we cannot follow such people to make achievements."
"The reason why I came to see the two generals is actually because they have the same idea."
"It is said that good birds choose trees to roost. Since Chen Xueying does not have this ability, naturally we cannot hang ourselves on a tree."
When Zhao Mingde heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy: "Brother Zhou, it turns out that this kid has the same idea as us."
Zhou Tong glared at him and asked in a deep voice: "How do I know whether what you said is true or false?"
Xu Shiheng laughed: "General Zhou, what is the current situation? Who can't see it?"
"Don't say it's us, even the altar leader may have other thoughts now, right?"
"Or do you two think that I am so loyal to His Highness the King of Han that I am even willing to die with him?"
Zhou Tong and Zhao Mingde also felt that what this guy said made sense.
Although he looks like a human and a dog, in his heart this guy is actually no different from them.
Joining the White Lotus Sect is just a temporary place to stay.
After confirming the other party's intentions, the atmosphere finally became less tense.
Zhao Mingde slowly put away the knife: "Since it was an idea with us, why didn't you tell us earlier? Why bother to play this trick and make people misunderstand for nothing."
Xu Shiheng tapped the knife in Zhao Mingde's hand with his finger: "If I hadn't done this, I would have been chopped off by General Zhao, right?"
"I already know the intentions of the two generals, but I didn't tell anyone about your affairs. This should prove my sincerity."
"Please take a seat." Zhou Tong said.
Several people sat down one after another and began to discuss how to serve the imperial court.
"If there is anything to discuss here, go directly to those Jin Yiwei and tell them no." Zhao Mingde said loudly.
Zhou Tong and Xu Shiheng were full of dark things, and sometimes they really couldn't understand Zhao Mingde's thoughts.
They were rebels now, so they went directly to the Jin Yiwei people and said they wanted to surrender.
Whether people believe it or not is still a question.
"The key thing is that if we surrender like this, the Dog Court may not take us seriously."
"If something happens, we will definitely be the first to be unlucky."
Xu Shiheng agreed with Zhou Tong's point of view: "General Zhou is right. We should really think of a comprehensive strategy."
"Not only can we let the court know our determination to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, but we can also let them know that we people are capable."
Zhao Mingde was extremely irritated: "It's just a matter of surrendering. If you can't defeat someone, then you will accept them as your elder brother. How can you still cause so many things?"
Seeing that this guy was hopelessly stupid, Zhou Tong and Xu Shiheng simply ignored him.
Let him go and drink alone, and the two of them discussed it.
"General Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Tong thought for a while, sighed and said, "I'm a rough man and don't have that much thought."
"If you let me tell you, there is only one way..."
Xu Shiheng nodded and said: "Although there are many ways, given our current status and situation, I'm afraid there is only one left."
The two people thought about it together and said almost in unison: "Vote for the certificate!"
This was originally one of the procedures used by bandits when they entered the fire, in order to let the new members do a case and kill someone.
Only if you carry a murder case on your body can you be considered one of our own.
Now that they want to surrender, they naturally have to show their attitude.
Although I thought of a solution, the problem was not that easy to solve.
Zhou Tong frowned, wondering: "Who are we going to use as a proxy?"
"Then you don't have to ask, of course it's the altar owner." Zhao Mingde said without thinking.
Xu Shiheng immediately rejected the proposal: "No, there are too many masters around the altar leader, and he himself is a very powerful master."
"If you want to deal with the altar owner and the guards around him, it's impossible without fifty or sixty people."
"At times like this, the White Lotus Sect is most vigilant. It is absolutely impossible for us to mobilize so many people without being discovered."
Zhao Mingde scratched his head and cautiously suggested: "How about... I invite the altar owner out in the name of drinking."
"Even if he brings people with him by then, it will definitely not be as many as before."
Xu Shiheng gave Zhao Mingde a big roll of his eyes: "General Zhao doesn't think that the altar master doesn't know anything about your thoughts."
"Although it is just a guess, at this time, it is impossible for the altar master to completely believe you."
"If you suddenly invite him to drink, it will arouse his vigilance, and our situation will only become worse."
Zhou Tong thought for a while: "If the altar master can't do it... what about Old Man Kong?"
Xu Shiheng's eyes lit up: "General Zhou has a brilliant plan."
"Old Man Kong is from the Kong family, and he has an irresolvable hatred with His Royal Highness."
"And after what happened today, Chen Xueying no longer values Old Man Kong as much as before."
"The guard strength around him should also be much smaller than before."
Zhao Mingde laughed and said, "It doesn't matter even if it's not much less. There are few people in our daytime teaching who don't hate that old man Kong."
"I act condescending all day long, looking down on this and that, thinking how great I am."
"Honestly, if the altar owner hadn't protected him before, Chen Xueying would have sent someone to protect him now."
"This hateful old man might have been beaten to death long ago."
"If we want to tie him up, it won't be a big deal."
"In that case, it's decided." Zhou Tong made a decision directly and settled the matter.
Compared to making decisions on the spur of the moment, even Zhou Tong is infinitely better than Chen Xueying.
When Zhou Tong, Xu Shiheng and Zhao Mingde were discussing how to defect to the imperial court,
Old Man Kong was instructing his servants to pack their things: "Pack up all my books. If you miss one, I will skin you."
"Any book here is worth a hundred times more than you guys."
A servant had just lifted the box containing the books.
But the box full of books was obviously much heavier than he imagined.
As soon as he lifted it up, he couldn't bear the strength and let go of his hand.
The box fell to the ground with a clang.
Old Man Kong exploded immediately. He rushed over, picked up a cane, and slashed at the man's head and face.
"How many times have I told you that you must handle books with care when moving them, you little bitch didn't hear that, did you?"
"These are all the teachings of saints. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to afford the compensation if you are cut into pieces."
Even though Old Man Kong is old, his hands are quite strong.
After a few strokes, the frightening skin was torn apart, and I knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
After a hundred lashes, Old Man Kong stopped panting.
Seeing the scary people around, they all looked at him cautiously, and immediately cursed: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and do your work. If anyone dares to destroy my book again, this will be your fate."
After saying that, he kicked the servant a few times with anger, but those people had already passed out and didn't even hum.
"Hmph, useless stuff."
What Old Man Kong didn't know was that a figure flashed past under one of the windows in the room.
This person quietly crossed several courtyards, his movements were swift and he didn't make any sound.
Soon we arrived at an ordinary house not far from Old Man Kong's home.
After a few gentle knocks on the door, three long and two short, the door bracket opened with a sound.
The black shadow quickly walked into the room and knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Xueying: "Go back to your Royal Highness, Kong Shaobao is packing up books."
At this time, Chen Xueying no longer looked as indecisive as before.
Sitting in the middle of the room, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" and reading in trance.
Hearing this person's words, a disdainful smile appeared on Chen Xueying's face.
Putting the book in his hand on the table, he said mockingly: "The Confucian lineage has indeed declined. As a descendant of the Confucius family, not only do I have no ability to govern the country, but I only want to escape after something happens."
"No wonder that guy Zhu Han actually destroyed the Kong family."
"If it were me, the king..."
I want to say that I will completely put the Kong family on the pillar of shame in history.
But after thinking about it, Chen Xueying really didn't dare to say this.
Walls have ears, even if the people here are his own people.
He didn't dare to speak his mind directly.
After all, if he really conquers the world, he will still have to rely on educated people to govern it.
The banner of the Confucius family is the best magic weapon to gather scholars.
Next to Chen Xueying, a man dressed as a scholar said angrily: "Your Majesty, it's fine that this person is not helpful to your great cause. Now that he realizes that our situation is not good, he actually wants to leave your Majesty and escape alone."
"Such a person must not be allowed to leave, otherwise others will just follow his example."
Chen Xueying really didn't care at all about this: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
"It's okay to let such a loser go. After all, it won't help the overall situation."
"Besides, this guy is not useless at all."
"At least his suggestion helped me avoid a lot of trouble."
"The Dog Court's attention is now all on the ordinary members of the White Lotus Sect, which makes it easier for us to do things."
The scribe was very excited: "Your Majesty is wise."
