Before the end of this month, Tang Yin received intelligence from Hidden Arrow, saying that the caravan had successfully lobbied the main knight sects such as Shengtang, Shuramen, and Baihuitang to accept the alliance, and they would arrive in Lingnan County in the middle of next month
A gathering of knights was held near Laiyang City to elect a leader.
After hearing the news, Tang Yin was very happy. The Fengren Ranger Alliance finally had some clues. The day after receiving the secret report from the Dark Arrow, Zhang Dong from the Xiaoyao Sect came to Yancheng and secretly asked to see Tang Yin. Now Tang Yin also wants to see him and get to know him better.
How sure is he about being elected leader?
In the study, Tang Yin met Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong's status in the world of Fengren Rangers is not high, and the Xiaoyao Sect is also a powerful sect. However, in front of Tang Yin, Zhang Dong is like a mouse meeting a cat. He must be respectful and groveling, and he can no longer be seen as a sect.
The style of the Lord.
Of course, what Tang Yin likes most is that he is obedient.
"Meet the King!" Zhang Dong entered the study, held his breath, raised his hips, trotted up to Tang Yin, knelt down, and kowtowed forward.
"Yes! Master Zhang, please get up!" Tang Yin nodded with a smile and waved his hand at the same time.
"Thank you so much, my dear king." Zhang Dong stood up, but still did not dare to raise his head, and stood aside with his head bowed in a dignified manner.
Tang Yin waved his hand to signal him to take a seat, and then asked the maid to bring him tea.
Zhang Dong was very familiar with Tang Yin's maid, who was Ji Lianyan from Xiaoyao Sect. However, in front of Tang Yin, Zhang Dong did not dare to say a word and just looked at her deeply with concern on his face.
Ji Lianyan turned a blind eye to Zhang Dong, had no expression on her face, and had the same attitude towards strangers, which made Zhang Dong feel very uncomfortable.
But he soon returned to normal and whispered to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, the major ranger sects will gather in Laiyang City in the middle of next month. I wonder if your Majesty knows about this?"
Tang Yin smiled slightly and said: "I have heard about it. I heard that this gathering is mainly to choose the leader of the alliance?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhang Dong nodded repeatedly, then looked around, lowered his voice, and said: "According to reliable information, the Holy Church, Shura Sect, and Baihui Hall are all working together and plan to rely on martial arts to choose.
Leader, Your Majesty, the strength of these three sects is second to none in our country of Feng. If the leader is selected based on a competition, then the position of leader... must belong to them..."
Tang Yin responded nonchalantly, raised his head and said, "Keep talking."
"The three sects of Shengtang, Shuramen, and Baihuitang have always been cunning. They pretend to be gentlemen on the surface, but in fact they specialize in sneaky things behind the scenes. In the past, they were all opposed to the Ranger Alliance, but now their attitudes have suddenly changed. This is inevitable.
There is a scam, and the villain boldly guesses that they may have been bribed by Nifengliu, trying to jointly seize the position of alliance leader, and then secretly assist Nifengliu!" Zhang Dong said in one breath, eloquently.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Ji Lianyan, who was standing aside, couldn't listen anymore and coldly interjected: "The Holy Church has always been upright and fair in dealing with things, and is highly respected in the ranger world. There are not many disciples in the Shura Sect, and they act in a low-key manner. But
They are all masters of spiritual martial arts, and I have never heard of the Shura Sect using its power to bully others. The disciples of Baihuitang are all over the Feng Kingdom. Although dragons and snakes are mixed together and there are many disciples, once the disciples of this gang make mistakes, Baihuitang will punish them.
Don't be lenient. These three major gangs are all the models of our Fengguo Ranger sect. How come they are regarded as villains who specialize in stealing and stealing in the mouth of Clan Leader Zhang? Clan Leader Zhang needs to have evidence for his words. Is it possible that he is bullying the king?
Something about the Ranger sect?”
These words made Zhang Dong blush and couldn't hold back his old face. He raised his hand and pointed angrily at Ji Lianyan and said loudly: "Ji Lianyan, you..."
He only spoke the beginning of his words. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Tang Yin's bright eyes staring at him without blinking. He shrank his neck in fright and swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach. He stood up hurriedly and said to Tang Yin cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Lianyan still has misunderstandings about the villain, and his words are biased. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
He did not say that he was lying, but instead interceded with Tang Yin on Ji Lianyan's behalf. He was very thick-skinned to a certain extent.
Ji Lianyan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Looking at the shameless Zhang Dong, she was not only angry, but also found it ridiculous that she had been so infatuated with Zhang Dong.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, put down the tea cup, and said, "You don't have to argue anymore." In fact, whether the Holy Hall, Shuramen, and Baihuitang are gentlemen or villains means nothing to Tang Yin. It's simple. He doesn't trust them at all. Ranger sect. He said to Zhang Dong directly: "Tell me, how can I make you the leader of the alliance? What do you want me to help you with?"
"Master! Master of Lingwu!" Zhang Dong blurted out without thinking. After finishing speaking, he felt that his words were too loud, so he hurriedly explained: "With the strength of the current disciples of my Xiaoyao Sect, if I want to defeat the Holy Hall and Shura Sect, It is simply impossible to defeat Baihuitang, let alone defeat the leaders of the three major sects, Wei Xiaoxiao, Hou Ge, and Zhou Kuan. If the villain wants to become the leader, he must have the help of a master to help the villain defeat the enemy. Three sects."
This is true. If Xiaoyao Sect could defeat Shengtang, Shuramen, and Baihuitang, then Xiaoyao Sect would have become the number one sect in Feng Kingdom. Send experts to assist Xiaoyao Sect... But who should be sent to assist? Tang Yin is in charge While thinking about it, Zhang Dong added: "In addition, the villain also thinks that the king should deploy troops to ambush near the gathering place. Once things change, the soldiers can rush out immediately and force the rangers to choose the villain as the leader. In this way Once it comes, everything will be safe."
Ji Lianyan's expression changed. Although she had seen Zhang Dongtian's shameless side, she never imagined that Zhang Dong could be so shameless that he would lead the imperial army to encircle and suppress the Ranger sect in order to become the leader of the alliance. , his actions are undoubtedly making enemies of all the Wind Rangers!
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin actually smiled, clapped his hands and praised, "Sect Leader Zhang is so thoughtful!"
"It's cultivated by the king, cultivated by the king!" Zhang Dong said with a smile.
"But, do I still need to listen to your orders to do my work?" Tang Yin asked softly with a smile.
thump!
With just one sentence, Zhang Dong was asked to kneel on the ground. The latter kowtowed and stammered in a trembling voice: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I will never dare. Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
Tang Yin pulled him up with a smile and said calmly: "What are you doing, Master Zhang? I didn't say your idea was bad." If the leader finally selected is indeed not the ideal candidate in his mind, then he will lead the troops. Encirclement and suppression are indeed the most direct and effective method. Instead of risking the Feng Kingdom Rangers becoming accomplices of the adverse wind flow, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and get rid of them all to avoid future troubles forever.
It can also be judged from Tang Yin's thoughts at this time that except for Zhang Dong's Xiaoyao Sect, he does not trust any knight sect at all, regardless of its reputation or superior strength.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Dong's heart moved, and he asked with surprise and joy: "So, the king agrees with the villain's idea?"
"Well, I can consider it." After saying this, Tang Yin said nothing, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea slowly.
Zhang Dong, who was so sophisticated in the world, could naturally tell that the king wanted to end this conversation and had finished what he should say. He then bowed deeply to Tang Yin and said, "I won't disturb the king anymore, little man."
, the villain resigns."
Before Zhang Donglin went out, Tang Yin slowly said: "If you stay in Yancheng for two more days, I will send some capable people to help you. Don't use troops lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."
Zhang Dong was overjoyed, turned around, knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Thank you so much, little man!"
"Go! Yuanwu?"
"The end is here!"
"Find a secluded place for Master Zhang to stay."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yuanwu agreed, turned around and walked to Zhang Dong's side, saying coldly and expressionlessly: "Master Zhang, please!"
"General, please!" Zhang Dong said politely and followed Shangguan Yuanwu out of the study.
As soon as Zhang Dong walked away, Ji Lianyan couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty..."
"Well? Is something wrong?" Tang Yin looked at her with a smile.
"This..." Ji Lianyan hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and spoke out what was in her heart. She said: "Your Majesty must not listen to Zhang Dong's slander and send troops to encircle and suppress the rangers who attended the party. Not only will
It will bring the alliance to naught, and it will also cause the rangers across the country to become enemies of the imperial court. Doesn’t this mean that it is invisibly helping the headwind flow?"
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "If it really develops to that point, I will make the Feng Kingdom no longer have the existence of ranger gangs, and let Nifeng Liu have nowhere to hide!" Tang Yin has never been afraid of anyone. When the Four Kingdoms conquered the wind,
He took it calmly when he was young, let alone the current Ranger sect?
But Ji Lianyan didn't think so. She seemed to be talking to herself or to Tang Yin: "How can the Ranger sect be eliminated? As long as there are still people and as long as there are still people practicing spiritual martial arts, Rangers will never be destroyed.
Extinct..."
Hearing her muttering, Tang Yin suddenly took a breath. Then he thought about it. In fact, the rangers in this era are equivalent to the modern underworld. The government calls for cracking down on the underworld every year, but it never ends. In the same way, the imperial court can really kill everyone.
Are all rangers? Tang Yin asked himself, and after careful consideration, he found that even he lacked confidence.
Maybe as Ji Lianyan said, using force may not be a good method, but it can easily lead to more chaos. Tang Yin said distractedly: "This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do?"
Ji Lianyan said sternly: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to Zhang Dong's words. Shengtang, Shuramen, and Baihuitang are all upright sects. No matter which one of them is the leader, they can do their best to unite with other sects.
, to resist the invasion of Nifengliu. The reason why the king does not trust them is simply because the king has not seen them yet. As long as the king has seen and come into contact with these sects, I think the king will definitely change his mind."
