The banquet lasted until the afternoon, so all the sects also took their leave and went down the mountain.
Li Yizhi took Yang Xiao and others all the way to the mountainside before stopping.
Afterwards, everyone returned to Guangmingding.
Li Yizhi convened a high-level meeting of the Mingjiao, including the chief and deputy flag masters of the Five Elements Banner, as well as the chief and deputy sect masters of the Four Gates of Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder, all present.
Li Yizhi said: "Everyone, the next focus of our work is to raise troops to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. In order to better command our original three rebel armies, the leader decided that except for the four gates of Tiandi Fenglei who stayed at Guangmingding, everyone else would follow.
I will go to the Central Plains to take charge."
Yang Xiao and others have no objection. Guangmingding is located in the Western Region and is indeed not suitable for commanding an army.
Li Yizhi continued: "King Eagle, Ambassador Yang Zuo, please pass the order as soon as possible, so that your two rebel armies will cooperate with my overseas army to fight. I will send a letter to the Qinglong Gang shortly, ordering them to send troops immediately."
"Yes, Gang Leader."
Yang Zuoshi and Eagle King nodded.
They have all seen the power of the flintlock gun, and the main force to quell the world will naturally be handed over to the overseas army of the Qinglong Gang.
"Let's wait until we return to the Central Plains to discuss other matters. At that time, we need to integrate the forces of the three parties. This cannot be completed in a day or two. Next, we will rest for a few days and do our best to treat the brothers who were injured during this period.
We can go back down the mountain after they are no longer in serious trouble."
In fact, the main reason why Li Yizhi did this was to give Zhao Min enough time to deal with various sects.
Although he had previously formed an alliance with various major factions, once the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown and a new country was established, these major factions with military power would become a destabilizing factor for the country.
When the time comes, he can't immediately turn around and kill all the major sects. That would give the world the impression of being ruthless and unkind.
Therefore, instead of having a headache in the future, it is better to let Zhao Min take care of it now.
Three days passed by in a flash.
In the early morning, when the sun was rising, Li Yizhi took Yang Xiao and others down to Guangmingding.
As a maid, Xiao Zhao naturally followed Li Yizhi closely, and now she is used to this identity.
Of course, the most important thing was that Li Yizhi told her that if she wanted to change the world, she would be a maid for three years, and she naturally agreed happily.
On the third day after leaving Guangmingding, Li Yizhi received a report from the spies, saying that traces of fierce fighting had been found ahead.
Yang Xiao and others all had serious expressions on their faces, and they rushed over to check, and found a lot of blood stains and broken weapons.
Yin Tianzheng said in a deep voice: "Leader, look at the scale of the battle traces. It was at least a melee involving hundreds of people. And look at this sword, it is exactly the style of the Huashan Sect's sword."
Li Yizhi saw the broken sword, looked at it, threw it away, and said: "If my guess is right, I'm afraid it was the imperial court that did it. This time, all the sects have left their nests. It's a good opportunity to catch them all. How can they
You will miss it. Ambassador Yang Zuo, please keep the spies as far away as possible for the rest of the journey, so as not to be surrounded by the imperial court."
Yang Xiao nodded solemnly and said: "It seems that what the leader guessed before is completely correct. All this is a conspiracy of the imperial court. Since then, I am afraid there will be more traces of fighting."
Everyone continued on the road, and what they discovered in the next ten days or so confirmed Yang Xiao's guess. Many traces of battles were found. From some clues, Kongtong, Kunlun, Emei, and Wudang were all ambushed one after another.
Especially Yin Liting's discovery completely confirmed their speculation.
As in the original plot, Yin Liting was severely injured after his limbs were crippled by the power of the Vajra finger.
After Li Yizhi treated his injuries, Yin Liting told everyone that on the way back, various sects were besieged by a large number of soldiers and horses, and most of them were captured.
Yang Xiao asked in a low voice: "Leader, what should we do next? Should we save people from various sects?"
Yin Tianzheng and others all looked at Li Yizhi. In their hearts, they were inclined to rescue him. After all, they had only made a blood alliance at Guangmingding.
Li Yizhi looked at everyone's gaze. Naturally, he couldn't say no to saving at this moment, so he muttered: "Rescue, we must save it, but we have to first find out where the people from the various sects are being held. And, this time
The people in the imperial court were just prisoners, but they were not killed. It seems that there are other plots behind it, so now we can only stop quietly and return to Jiangsu and Zhejiang as soon as possible."
Yin Tianzheng nodded at him and said: "The leader is right. Since the imperial court did not kill people immediately, it means that people from various sects will not be in danger for the time being, and we cannot mess up the situation."
"In that case, let's speed up the trip next." Yang Xiao suggested.
Next, the group of people accelerated their journey and soon passed the Yumen Pass and entered the Central Plains.
On this day, Li Yizhi passed by a manor. There were many weeping willows planted outside the manor, swaying gently in the breeze. On the gate of the manor, there was a plaque that read 'Willow Green Villa'.
Li Yizhi glanced at it and was just surprised in his heart. He kept walking and was about to walk past the others.
At this time, the door of the manor was suddenly opened, and Zhao Min, dressed in men's clothing, slowly walked out, followed behind her were the two elders Xuan Ming and eight strong men dressed as hunters, each carrying a bow and arrow and a quiver, which was the magic arrow.
Hachio.
Zhao Min smiled with a smile on his face and said softly: "Master Li, we have never met each other in life. I never thought that we would meet again in this northwest place. We are destined to meet each other. It is noon now. Why don't you all come to our village to have a rest?
how?"
Zhou Dian smiled happily and said: "It turns out that the young master and our leader are friends. That's just right. I'm a little hungry. I wonder if your village has good wine?"
Zhao Min chuckled and said: "Of course there is good wine, but I'm afraid that seniors won't be able to finish it."
Yang Xiao and others all laughed. They were all good drinkers, and they were most afraid that the host would not be able to finish the wine if they did not have enough.
But Li Yizhi shook his head and smiled, saying: "Princess Zhao, you and I are enemies rather than friends. Although your Green Willow Villa looks peaceful, it is probably no different from a devil's cave. I think your invitation is okay."
He is not Zhang Wuji in the original work. Because of Zhao Min's deep love for him, the group of people escaped easily.
Li Yizhi knew very well that Zhao Min's heart towards him, not to mention admiration, would have been to cut him into pieces, so naturally he could not give Zhao Min a chance.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Zhao Min smiled sweetly and said: "Why, our leader Li is not so timid. He doesn't even dare to enter the village. If he says this, he will probably make the world's heroes laugh."
"You don't have to be so aggressive. I will go in with you and see how many methods you have prepared."
Li Yizhi shook his head and smiled, then turned to Yang Xiao and said: "Mr. Yang Zuo, please wait outside for a while. I will come out in an hour at most."
Yang Xiao hurriedly advised: "Master, please don't do it. The so-called son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Since he knows that the other party has sinister intentions, how can he fall into her trick of provoking generals."
Yin Tianzheng and others tried to dissuade her, and Zhou Dian even proposed to kill Zhao Min and his party directly and occupy her Green Willow Villa.
Li Yizhi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, her little tricks can't deal with me. Besides, aren't you still outside? If I don't come out for an hour, you can just attack in."
Seeing Li Yizhi's determination, Yang Xiao and others had no choice but to agree.
Zhao Min chuckled lightly and said with a trace of sarcasm: "So this is the courage of Master Li. He still has such a back-up plan. Are you still afraid that a little girl like me will eat you?"
"This is not timidity, but preparation for a rainy day, otherwise you are ignorant and reckless. As for you, you must have the ability to eat people. As for whether you can eat me, it depends on your ability. Let's go, I want to see it too
, what have you prepared?"
Li Yizhi shook his head and smiled, then walked towards the gate of the villa.
