"What is this?" All the believers stared at the piece of paper Wang Xian took out, their eyes wide open.
"Recruit! Talent! List!" In this era, there were not many literate people. When Wang Xian read out the big characters on the paper, he felt a sense of superiority. He looked at these illiterate people and said slowly: "I am your elder Tang, Liu
The distinguished guest invited by the hall master, do you understand now?"
Although the group of minions still seemed to understand, they were actually suppressed by Wang Xian. The leaders exchanged glances and bit their ears: "Brother, what should I do?"
"It looks pretty bluffing," the captain thought for a moment and made up his mind: "Just take it back and let the superiors take a look."
"I told you earlier!" he exclaimed proudly with a pockmarked face, earning a fierce glare from the captain. The captain put on an affectionate look again, held his hands towards Wang Xiangong, and said with a smile: "Since he is our hall master
If you are a guest, please invite me and I will take you to see our hall master."
"That's very good." Wang Xian nodded, looked at Deng Xiaoxian behind him, and took the initiative to say to the captain: "On our way here, we encountered bandits. My cousin was seriously injured. I wonder if there is a famous doctor in Linqu City.
?”
"Oh, you have come to the right place. Doctors from a hundred miles away are all in our Linqu city now," the captain said with a smile: "As long as you are really our hall master's guest, I guarantee that those doctors will line up to give you
He sees a doctor!"
"Then let's stop nagging and get on the road quickly!" Dai Hua, who was beside Wang Xian, raised his whip and slapped the donkey on the butt.
"Okay, kids, follow me!".
The words were divided into two parts. On one side, Wang Xian and Dai Hua protected Deng Xiaoxian into Linqu City. On the other side, Zhang Dong and Ling Xiao protected Wang Xian's secret letter and headed west to Jinan.
Soon after heading west, the two discovered the search force of the White Lotus Sect. They quietly bypassed this group of troops. Not far away, they found another group of people searching inch by inch. Zhang Dong whispered to Lingxiao:
"Sister, all the roads to Jinan are blocked by them. We can't go around them!"
Lingxiao nodded and asked, "What are your ideas?"
Zhang Dong whispered a few words, and Lingxiao nodded and said, "That's it."
The two of them stopped hiding their whereabouts and met a search force from the White Lotus Sect head on.
"Stop!" A leader shouted, and Zhang Dong and Ling Xiao stood still.
"What do you do?!" The leader looked at the two of them and saw that they were both disheveled, in ragged clothes, and carrying a torn bag on their backs. They were obviously fleeing.
"We are from Zhangqiu, and we were originally going to Yishui to visit my grandma's house." Zhang Dongcao, speaking in authentic Shandong dialect, replied: "But halfway through, we encountered someone fighting, so we had to turn back.
After saying that, he said with a face full of horror: "They said that the imperial court is over, is it true?"
"Hahaha! Of course it's true!" Hearing this, a group of White Lotus followers laughed happily: "The emperor is ignorant! The power of the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, and now Shandong is the world of our White Lotus!"
"That's great!" Zhang Dong excitedly took out a piece of talisman paper and said with a red face: "The sun and the moon have no light! The sky is standing! Innocent mother! Vacuum hometown!"
"Haha, it turns out he is still a church member!" The attitude of the believers towards Zhang Dong improved a lot. The leader smiled and said: "Little brother, why not vote for us? We are the army of the general helmsman. This opportunity is rare!"
"The army of the chief helmsman?" Zhang Dong said with eyes shining: "Then we can see the Buddha Mother from time to time?"
"Of course!" The leader nodded and looked at Zhang Dong. Although it was on a whim, he saw that this kid's figure was really great.
"Great! Thank you for the promotion, senior, I am willing to join the team!" Zhang Dong made a decision immediately and knelt down in front of the leader: "Little brother pays homage to the eldest brother. From now on, my life will belong to the eldest brother!"
"Hahaha, okay!" The leader was very happy after receiving a fierce man, and then he remembered to ask Zhang Dong: "What's your name?"
"My secret name is Zhang Dong. I am the hunter from Hutou Mountain in Zhangqiu!" Zhang Dong said with excitement, his face flushed.
"The hunters in Hutou Mountain are famous for being able to tear apart tigers and leopards!" a believer immediately said.
"I've heard of it." The leader immediately thought about it and said more cordially: "Brother Zhang Dong, how many hunters like you are there in your place?"
"There are more than a hundred villages in total!" Zhang Dong said nonsense. In fact, the entire Hutou Mountain and the eight villages in ten miles together are just a few hunters.
The leader believed it, and secretly said with joy, if I get all those hunters, I can at least be promoted to three levels in a row. Isn't this the wealth God has given me?
Before he could speak, Zhang Dong said first: "Brother, I am willing to go back and persuade them to join the gang and join my brother together!"
"That's great!" The leader was overjoyed. He helped Zhang Dong up with both hands and said, "If this can be done, I, Huang Laowu, will not treat my brothers badly!"
"I will live up to Brother Huang's trust!" Zhang Dong patted his chest and promised.
Huang Laowu then arranged for several brothers to follow Zhang Dong and the others to Hutou Mountain to recruit troops.
With the escort of the White Lotus Cult, Zhang Dong and Ling Xiao were indeed able to have a smooth journey along the way, but their moods became increasingly heavy because they encountered so many arresters. It was obvious that the White Lotus Cult wanted to capture Wang Xian at all costs...
…
When they left the territory of Qingzhou, they found that the number of White Lotus believers suddenly increased several times, and each of them looked solemn and energetic, no longer as casual and slack as before.
The White Lotus cultist escorting the two people whispered: "Maybe Her Majesty the Buddha is in front..."
Zhang Dong was surprised, he didn't expect to bump into the Buddha Mother.
Seeing the surprised look on his face, the White Lotus cultists were not surprised and said with a smile: "You'll get used to it in the future. Mother Buddha has always been very kind to us little pawns."
Zhang and Dong nodded and followed the White Lotus cultists to the checkpoint. Lingxiao secretly scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision, and sure enough he saw a woman in white clothes and a white veil, standing beside the checkpoint like an ice sculpture. That was naturally the Buddha.
Mother, her cold eyes fell on every passer, as if she could see through their heart.
As if feeling that someone was spying on them, Buddha's mother's eyes suddenly turned and fell on Lingxiao and Lingxiao. Seeing the obsessed look on Zhang Dong's face, Buddha's mother frowned slightly and withdrew her gaze.
Lingxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had fought against Mother Buddha before. Even if it was only for a short moment, there was no guarantee that Mother Buddha would recognize her! Fortunately, Zhang Dong was so excited that he blocked Mother Buddha's gaze for her... Lingxiao was grateful.
He glanced at Zhang Dong and quickly lowered his head.
At this time, it was Zhang Dong's turn to pass the level. The White Lotus cultists who were with them smiled at the Buddhist soldiers guarding the level and explained the purpose of the trip. Before, this was basically enough to pass the level, but
Those soldiers in white clothes were not accommodating, they still checked everyone one by one, and even searched their bodies.
Naturally, there was no problem between the few believers and Zhang Dong. Although Zhang Dong was a Jin Yiwei, who would know a nobody like him? The body search was completed smoothly without any trouble. But when he arrived at Lingxiao, he suddenly became nervous and shouted:
"Don't touch my sister with your dirty hands!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" A white-clothed soldier shouted angrily: "This is the bastard's ass - the rules!" He was about to attack Lingxiao, but Lingxiao's expression changed and he wanted to take action!
"Stop!" Zhang Dong hurriedly stood in front of Lingxiao and glared angrily: "We admire the Buddha Mother and join the White Lotus Sect not to be insulted!" As he spoke, he clenched his fists and said: "Who dares to touch my sister?
, I will fight with him!"
The crowd in front of the checkpoint became commotion. People looked at both sides of the conflict and talked about it.
Mother Buddha frowned slightly and ordered a woman in white beside her: "Go and search me."
"Yes!" The woman followed the order and said coldly to Zhang Dong: "Are you satisfied now?!"
"This..." Zhang Dong was speechless for a moment. Lingxiao couldn't object anymore and had no choice but to let him search his whole body.
Xia Tian's clothes were already thin, but the woman searched very carefully, and actually found a piece of paper from Ling Xiao's underwear!
Zhang Dong and Ling Xiao's expressions changed drastically. They both wanted to grab the piece of paper at the same time. Unexpectedly, Mother Buddha moved faster and had already taken the piece of paper from the woman's hand!
Shula! The soldiers of the Buddha Mother drew their weapons one after another and surrounded the two of them! The faces of the White Lotus cultists who were traveling with them were even more earth-colored, and they were trembling like chaff.
The air in front of the checkpoint was almost stagnant. The Buddha Mother slowly unfolded the piece of paper and took a closer look...
Zhang Dong and Lingxiao were so depressed that they were about to desperately take the piece of paper back, but saw Mother Buddha handing the piece of paper back and said calmly: "Let them pass."
The soldiers of Mother Buddha took back their weapons, and the two confused people took the piece of paper and hurriedly left the level. After walking out for a while, Lingxiao finally couldn't help but open the piece of paper in his hand, only to see the top
It's not a secret message at all, but a birth date!
Ling Xiao was stunned. She suddenly understood that Wang Xian did not ask her to protect Zhang Dong at all, but asked Zhang Dong to escort her back... She had always been under the protection of her grandfather, brother, and Wang Xian.
An idiot who doesn’t understand anything….
At the checkpoint, the woman asked the Buddha Mother with some confusion: "Buddha Mother, what is written on the paper?"
"The girl's birthday and horoscope," the Buddha's mother said with some confusion: "It seems that she went to her uncle's house for a blind date..." She sighed softly and said, "With the war, this girl's marriage may be far away.
Already..."
"Hey..." The woman was a close confidant of the Buddha Mother. Knowing that she was thinking of her family's sad events, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She changed the topic and said: "We worked hard and set up a dragnet, but we still didn't catch the king.
Xian, isn’t he already dead?”
"It's possible." A soldier next to him said: "Didn't the military advisor say that he is probably dead! Even if he is not dead and escapes back to Jinan, the emperor will kill his head."
"Impossible," the Buddha Mother shook her head categorically and said: "This man will not die. He has not returned to Jinan. He must be hiding somewhere." Then she bit her silver teeth and said, "It's useless to wait here and wait.
I’ll go look for it!”
"But Mother Buddha, the elder said that we should rush to Qingzhou as soon as possible." The woman reminded Mother Buddha in a low voice.
"I won't go." The Buddha's mother raised her eyebrows and said decisively.
