Chapter 1204 The bargaining chip of cooperation, just about to scratch your itch
After being slightly surprised, the sound of sharp blades being drawn out of their sheaths was suddenly heard all around. The characters in Manichaeism reflexively drew their swords, and immediately pointed the tips of the blades at Xiao Tang and his party. In an instant, A murderous aura seemed to surge up from the pavilion halfway up the mountain, wrapping Xiao Tang and the others in it!
"Iron-faced Xie Zhi" Quan Yu can just give him back. After all, he is the leader of the powerful bandits in the North who specifically wants to fight against the government. But who is Ren Xia Xiao Tang? He is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, a close minister of the emperor, and Zhang from Hebei Province. Di, among those green forest lords from Hedong Tianhu who were temporarily divided into one side, none of them fell into his hands!
Fang La and his confidants in the sect had not had time to think carefully about why Xiao Tang and Quan Yu were the same person. At the sensitive period on the eve of the rebellion, a high-ranking official in the court suddenly came to visit. The visitor must be evil. The Manichaeans present were all on guard subconsciously, and they didn't even have time to think about why the co-leader of the Green Forest and Mountains would announce his name as Xiao Tang, and dare to take the initiative to rush into his own formation. Come.
First of all, it was important to protect the leader thoroughly. A fat monk suddenly jumped out from Fang La's side. Deng Yuanjue, one of the four major guardians of Manichaeism, was the first to rush to Fang La. He waved the Zen staff in his hand and walked step by step. He came closer to Xiao Tang. But a majestic monk also jumped out from Xiao Tang's side. Lu Zhishen roared angrily, and thunder seemed to burst out from his teeth. It shocked the surrounding Manichaeans for a while, and then he held up his hands He waved the water-milled Zen staff in his hand and danced it like a tiger, then glared at Deng Yuanjue and shouted sternly: "You bald donkey, what are you going to do!?"
Although his swords were at war, Deng Yuanjue couldn't help but feel angry and laugh when he saw the big monk opposite him angrily scolding him for being a bald donkey. I wonder if you are not a Samana monk? You have shaved your head at the same time, and you are calling me a bald donkey upside down?
But when Deng Yuanjue saw the majestic and heroic spirit of the great monk who was similar in stature to himself, he secretly said in his heart: Hearing that Qingzhou Erlong Village was commanded by Hua Monk Lu Zhishen, he also led his soldiers and horses to be the first to surrender to Quan Yu. Zhe Mo should now talk about Xiao Tang’s subordinate. Could it be the person in front of him?
At this time, Fang La's expression was gloomy and suspicious, and the Manichaeans around him all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. On the other hand, Xiao Tang and the others' expressions were as usual, especially Lu Zhishen, who stood in the middle, looking back and forth with angry eyebrows, not showing the slightest trace of fear. Just here, they met each other again. At the critical moment when a fight was imminent at the slightest movement, Chai Jin beside Xiao Tang suddenly coughed and said loudly: "Master Fang and the heroes of Manichaeism, please be patient for a moment. My brother is acting on two fronts, so Carrying a sea of blood and carrying out dangerous activities that seem to be related to each other, I am willing to report to you, which shows my brother's sincerity.
My brother had done a real job of arresting the green forest bandits. However, as the iron-faced Xie Zhi Quan Yu, when he was commanding several mountains of soldiers and horses under his command, he repeatedly rescued loyal people who were framed by traitors and killed them many times. For the imperial court, the traitorous officials and bullies who harmed one party were all acts of punishing the nine tribes. For example, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, Cai Jing and other high-ranking traitors in the court, my brother did not want to succumb to the fact that these guys had already turned against each other one after another. The evildoers in the early education court have been regarded as a serious problem. My brother is willing to reveal his true identity to your sect here. The actions he has done in the name of Quan Yu have long been unacceptable to the court, so why should you be suspicious?"
Chai Jin was born with dragon-shaped eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, white teeth and red lips, and his gestures and gestures had a temperament that made people get close to him. He had a calm face and talked about it, and Fang La and the Manichaeans around him who had murderous intentions on their faces also
He couldn't help but start to carefully figure out the meaning of Chai Jin's words. Behind Fang La, another pair of bright eyes flashed, staring at Chai Jin, seeming to be very concerned about this extraordinary little tornado.
When Fang La looked at Chai Jin and saw that he had an extraordinary appearance and a wealthy appearance, he felt a little close to him. However, he was shocked to hear that Quan Yu, the co-owner of several mountains in front of him, turned out to be the famous Xiao Tang, Fang La.
There was still some suspicion on his face, and he asked Chai Jin again: "This gentleman is very handsome, but I don't know what to call him?"
Upon seeing this, Chai Jin bowed respectfully to Fang La and said, "I dare not trouble Fang La to take the initiative to ask. Xiao Ke's surname is Chai and his name is Jin. He was born in Henghai County, Cangzhou. I was praised by my colleagues in the Jianghu and called me Xiao Xuanfeng Chai Jin."
"
Fang La's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said: "Could it be that he is a direct descendant of the Chai family of the Zhou Dynasty? Although the north and south are far apart, there are brothers in our religion who have fought in Hebei and said that they love to make friends with heroes all over the world.
, is also a well-known hero in the Jilu region. But I didn’t expect that he was the direct descendant of the dragon son of the previous dynasty, and he actually defected to everyone... Xiao Tang’s subordinates joined the group."
After hearing this, Chai Jin praised Master Fang again, and he only came forward to say a few words. The tense atmosphere at the scene actually relaxed a lot. At this time, Xiao Tang stood up again and said: "Now the court is dominated by traitors and sycophants.
Even if I get an important position in the court, I am afraid that I will no longer have a foothold in Bianjing in a short time. With my momentum in both black and white circles, I can join hands with the Manichaeism under the leadership of Leader Fang.
Together they fought against the imperial court. And I had just arrived in Jiangnan to secretly meet with the leader. I must have known that the imperial court had ordered me to come here to imprison and execute my sworn brother Wu Song.
To be honest, not only will I not fulfill the treacherous plots of those in the court, but I will also take advantage of this opportunity to save Wu Song's life, rise up against the odds, and openly break with the court, while Manichaeism is in power in the south of the Yangtze River.
Long Pan, I came here just to ask Leader Fang to help me out of justice, but the soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests under my command and the Manichaeans from the south and the north cooperate to fight against the imperial court, isn't it a good thing to get the best of both worlds?"
Before Fang La could say anything, Deng Yuanjue, who was glaring at each other with Lu Zhishen, was stunned for a moment and said: "Wu Song, the tiger killer who killed Cai Hu in Hangzhou and killed the people, is truly a brave man.
Big boss... No, Xiao Renxia is saying that Xie Jing ignored the incident in the green forest and had to save the life of the martial artist? If this is true, Xie's reputation as a knight on the road is well-deserved, and he is so loyal.
It’s so profound that I can’t help but admire it!”
Deng Yuanjue was naturally an outspoken person. Originally he was heartbroken by Wu Song's feat of "killing tigers" alone in Hangzhou. Now that he heard that Xiao Tang's conspiracy to save Wu Song's life was exposed, he gave up his second-rank high-ranking official in the court and received a generous salary.
No, I decided to completely break with the imperial court for the sake of brotherly loyalty. In the green forest, we treat each other as brothers, verbally saying that we trust each other with our lives. Of course, we would stab each other for our brothers without blinking an eye, but who can do it?
For Xiao Tang's sake? Deng Yuanjue admired him in his heart and made no secret of it verbally. Not only did he praise him in person, but he also felt very fond of Xiao Tang in his heart.
However, except for Deng Yuanjue, most of the Manichaeans present were dubious. Especially Fang La, who couldn't help but have a look of ridicule on his face, thinking that even if you, Xiao Tang, were Quan Yu, the co-leader of several mountains, Zhemo
To seize the state capital, cede territory and become king, you really need to take action against the imperial court, but a hero who wants to do big things must be decisive and know how to choose.
If you planned your own plan, then I really overestimated you.
But from Fang La's eyes, he could also tell that Xiao Tang was not the kind of reckless man who acted solely on his whim. When he first saw him, he dared to show his dual identity as an official and a green forest, and said that he dared to disobey him.
The emperor ordered to save Wu Song's life even if he openly opposed the imperial court. There must be a bigger and unknown conspiracy behind Xiao Tang, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. It was the eve of the Manichaean attack.
In a critical moment, how could I discuss the matter of rebellion with him as abruptly as if the other person took off his mask and directly revealed his true identity?
After Fang La thought in his mind, he winked at the person next to him. The man understood, stood up, and said to Xiao Tang: "It turns out that Xiao Renxia is Quan Yu, the co-owner of several mountains in the green forest. Such a big event is too sensational.
.I am Chen Houtong. Although I have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, the reputation of both Xiao Renxia and all the leaders is well known to me. It’s just that Xiao Renxia came unexpectedly, and what I want to do with our religion is to betray the imperial court and commit treason.
Although Manichaeism has attracted many followers in the south of the Yangtze River, it has always been careful to avoid being banned by the government. Whether Xiao Renxia wants to betray the court or all the leaders want to start a big thing in Hangzhou, what does Manichaeism have to do with me?
Why did Xiao Renxia come to our sect when he was responsible for such a dangerous and dangerous matter?"
"People in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. The officials in Zhejiang, Jiangdong, Fujian and other provinces are ignorant. They only care about amassing money and harming the people while teaching nobles to build their momentum. Looking at the behavior of Manichaeism in the green forest in the past few years, those
Those who abuse official positions don't know what your teaching is up to, but I can also detect some clues."
Xiao Tang smiled coldly, and then said: "I have to come to visit Master Fang to discuss it. Cooperation with each other will naturally be of great benefit to your sect. Since I was sent to Hangzhou by the official family to be imprisoned, plus my confidants and those who were transferred to Jiangnan
The troops and horses can cooperate both internally and externally. Not only can your sect easily capture Hangzhou, the capital of the two Zhejiang Roads, when it is in trouble... Now the powerful and evil Zhu Meng who is the most hated by the people in the south of the Yangtze River is in the city of Hangzhou. If
I said that by capturing this thief and handing him over to your sect, this treacherous official who brought harm to the people of Zhejiang, Jiangnan, and Fujian, and all the people wanted to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin, became a weapon that Manichaeism wanted to win the hearts of the people.
I wonder what Leader Fang and Mr. Chen would say?"
