The Mingjiao overseas legions stared at the mast of Chen Youliang's ship and chased him wildly in the rippling waves.
Eventually they lost sight of them off the coast of Shandong.
The Mingjiao people had no choice but to land ashore. After landing, they learned that it was already the first month of the sixteenth year of Zhizheng.
Shandong still belonged to the Yuan Dynasty. After everyone came ashore, they could not conduct a large-scale search. They could only cast a net secretly and inquire quietly.
After several days of searching, Yang Xiao finally found clues in the mystery of Chen Youliang's old book.
He asserted that Chen Youliang took the three of them to Henan.
Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao were the first to pursue, and ordered the Hong Kong Banner followers to break up into pieces and then follow up.
The three masters pursued all the way until they reached the outside of Xiaolin Temple.
Zhang Wuji was a talented artist and daring, so he sneaked into Xiaolin alone to investigate.
A few days later, he left Xiaolin Temple.
Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao hurriedly asked him about the results of his inquiry.
Zhang Wuji confirmed Yang Xiao's guess with a grimace. The Golden Retriever Lion King was indeed in the small forest, in a cave in the back mountain. This place was guarded by three eminent monks, all of whom were innate masters. He did not rush in rashly.
Grandma Jinhua and Yin Li were not in the temple and were missing.
The three of them discussed for a long time, and Yang Xiao proposed to go to Shanxi and mobilize experts to come to the rescue, especially Consultant Li, who would be a sure thing.
Hearing this, Li Jiang smiled complacently and said modestly: "Yang Shoufu is too praised. There are times when I can't handle it."
Wei Yixiao glared at him and said strangely: "Consultant Li is too self-effacing. Not only are you the best master of the Ming Cult, you are also the best in the world. Is there anyone who you can't beat?"
Li Jiang waved his hand and said seriously: "Bat King, when it comes to business, don't ramble."
"You..." Wei Yixiao almost choked and pointed at Li Jiang with trembling fingers.
Fan Yao quickly pressed down his hand, forced the topic back, and asked: "Has the leader agreed to Brother Yang's proposal?"
Wei Yixiao glared at Li Jiang again, took a deep breath, turned to Fan Yao and said, "It would be great if the leader agreed, otherwise we wouldn't have contacted you for several months."
It turns out that Zhang Wuji believed that Mingjiao uprisings were in full swing in various places, and it was a critical moment, so the top officials in various places could not distract him. Li Jiang felt the same way. He was sitting in the center and had to deal with the affairs of the country, and I was afraid that he would not be able to spare time.
Besides, it would take time for the reinforcements to arrive, and if the foster father stayed in the cave for one more day, he would suffer for one more day, so the rescue was urgent.
Based on these reasons, Zhang Wuji decided not to bother everyone and would save his adoptive father by himself, and strictly ordered Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao to restrain their followers and not ask for help.
Li Jiang secretly sighed at this, Brother Wuji is not keen on power, but he is obsessed with martial arts. I am afraid he still wants to say goodbye to me.
After Zhang Wuji made his decision, he prepared for a few days, and one night he sneaked into the back mountain of Xiaolin to carry out the rescue.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough opponent. Even one of the three monks was no match for him, but the three of them worked together flawlessly, which made him suffer enough.
Xiao Lin was also alerted by this and began to be on tight alert. Moreover, they also came up with a vicious plan to bring all this to light and invite martial arts people to gather in Xiao Lin to drown the Ming Cult with the public's saliva. After all, those who have been harmed by Xie Xun
Don’t hang out too much with people who claim to be “just in heart”.
Zhang Wuji didn't care about that. One loss was not enough, so he recovered for two days and came back to challenge again.
In this cycle, time was delayed, and two months passed by in a hurry, until everyone in the world knew about the "Lion Slaughter Conference".
The consequences at this time were beyond what Zhang Wuji and the others could bear, because the Golden Retriever incident had evolved into a confrontation between the Mingjiao and Quan Jianghu.
After Yang Xiao's painstaking persuasion, Zhang Wuji finally stopped being stubborn and sent Wei Yixiao, who was "imprisoned" at the foot of the mountain, to Shanxi for help.
Wei Yixiao also knew that the matter was serious. After receiving the task, he felt that the horse was running too slowly, so he directly took up Qinggong all the way north until he collapsed in Yuncheng from exhaustion.
After listening to this, Li Jiang put his hands on his hands and exclaimed: "King Wei Bat is really a thousand-mile horse of my Mingjiao!"
Wei Yixiao was dumbfounded. He always felt that these words of praise coming from Li Jiang's mouth were not quite right, but he could not refute it.
Before he could think about it, Li Jiang asked another timely question, "Bat King, how does the leader tell us to rescue him?"
Wei Yi smiled and said: "The leader asked Consultant Li to go to Xiaolin. He said that if you and him work together, we can take down the three monks and rescue King Xie."
Li Jiang did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Fan Yao, and then turned back and said: "Rescuing Dharma King Xie is an upright matter, how can we do it privately? Our Mingjiao is going to use an upright teacher to crush Xiao Lin and let them
By making friends and challenging them, do you give them face?"
Fan Yao twisted his beard and nodded.
Wei Yixiao was obviously stunned. Li Jiang's statement was completely inconsistent with the leader's order! But why did it sound so encouraging?
He could only say: "But, but..."
Li Jiang slapped the table and stood up, waving his hand and saying: "Bat King doesn't have to worry about this anymore. I and Lao Fan have their own ideas."
After saying that, he ignored him, turned around and shouted outside the house: "Tong Derong, come in."
After leaning a little, Tong Derong walked in. Just as he was about to salute, Li Jiang pointed to the pen and paper on the table and said: "Remember the order."
Tong Derong hurriedly leaned over the table. He didn't even have time to dip in the ink, so he put the brush in his mouth and immediately raised his head to look at Li Jiang.
Li Jiangdao: "Order from the Military Aircraft Department: appoint Fan Yao as the commander of the North Column of the Guards Army, command the troops to attack Henan from Shanxi, march to Luoyang before the Dragon Boat Festival, and advance to Songshan; join the Funiu Mountain Rebels into the Guards, and promote Han Shantong to the Guards
The commander-in-chief of the Junnan Road Column. The former commander-in-chief and hall master only serves as the hall master and is in charge of official affairs. Han Shantong is ordered to lead the troops to conquer Pingding and Xuchang within two months and advance to the eastern part of Songshan Mountain. This order."
Tong Derong's writing was written in one go without adding any extra points, almost as soon as Li Jiang finished speaking, he had already started writing.
Li Jiang took it, looked at it, nodded, reached for the brush and signed his name, and then passed it to Fan Yao.
Fan Yao also looked at it, signed it, and passed it to Wei Yixiao.
Wei Yixiao took it and did not watch it immediately. Instead, he asked: "Do I still want to sign?"
Li Jiang nodded with a smile and said: "Of course you have to sign. You are a member of the Military Aircraft Department. Since you are here, you have to sign."
Wei Yixiao shook his head and said, "But this was decided by the two of you, and you didn't discuss it with me."
Li Jiang's face sank and he said: "Didn't we discuss it with you just now? Didn't you hear what we said? Sign quickly and don't waste the time to rescue King Xie."
Wei Yixiao had no choice but to grab a pen and sign. While signing, he still protested: "Does this count as a negotiation? You just informed me. Why do I feel that I am being coerced by you two?"
It was not Li Jiang's turn to refute this, because it had always been Fan Yao's wish to attack Henan. How could anyone object if he finally did it? So he solemnly said to Wei Yixiao: "King Wei Bat, you just sign. I will punish the leader."
One person is responsible for it!”
Wei Yixiao just finished signing, and quickly put down his pen and waved his hand: "Why did you, Commander Fan, say anything about the fate of our brothers and you? I signed the signature, and even if the leader blames us, we will all receive the punishment together."
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Li Jiang.
