Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 216 Rumors
Emei School.

Miejue Shitai is practicing sword.Compared with ten years ago, the power of her swordsmanship at this moment has increased several times.Her swordsmanship seems to be upright, but in reality her murderous intentions are hidden, vicious and vicious.

A few years ago, Ji Xiaofu left the Emei School with Yang Xiao.

Women are more emotional, not as rational as men.For the sake of love, they can sometimes be desperate, but once they change their minds, they will become ruthless again.

In order to repay her master's kindness, Ji Xiaofu left Qin Zhiyong's lecture notes in the Emei School.Miejue Shitai's swordsmanship can have the current attainment, and it is inseparable from the class notes left by Ji Xiaofu.

However, Miejue Shitai did not appreciate it.She not only resented Ji Xiaofu and Yang Xiao, but also resented Qin Zhiyong.If it weren't for Qin Zhiyong, Ji Xiaofu might not have become what she is now, and maybe she has already obtained the Dragon Slaying Saber.

Who would have thought that Qin Zhiyong would become the court's tutor.

Miejue Shitai felt that Qin Zhiyong had committed his own crimes and could not survive.No matter how powerful your surname Qin is, it is impossible for you to be an enemy of the entire martial arts world.

"Qin Zhiyong is an imperial court eagle dog, killing his fellow martial artists."

This rumor was first released by Miejue Shitai.

As time went by, rumors continued to brew, and most people in the world believed the rumors.Many people also secretly speculate that Qin Zhiyong must have dedicated the Dragon Slaying Saber to the imperial court and made a certificate of honor before being reused by the emperor as the imperial tutor.

Even within the Haisha faction, some people are wondering whether Mr. Qin has really betrayed and become a court eagle dog?
It has to be said that the power of rumors is really great.

Three become tigers.

The longer the rumor spreads, the more people will believe it, and the rumor can become true.Qin Zhiyong was indeed pushed to the opposite side of martial arts.

Miejue Shitai is currently planning to unite with the six sects of the Central Plains to assassinate Qin Zhiyong.No matter how good Qin Zhiyong's martial arts are, after all, two fists are no match for four hands. As long as he unites the strength of the entire martial arts world, with a large number of people, and a good plan, he may not be able to assassinate him.

But before assassinating Qin Zhiyong, he had to prepare a gift and go to Wudang Mountain to celebrate Zhenren Zhang's birthday.

In a few months, it will be Zhang Zhenren's [-]th birthday.

Zhu Yuanzhang relied on his own ability to sit on the position of the leader of the Mingjiao altar, and received Liu Bowen's sincere assistance.

The altar master is only the middle class in the Mingjiao. Above the altar master, there are the Five Elements Banner Master, the Dharma King, the Left and Right Messenger of Light and the leader.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know martial arts, and being able to become the altar master by himself is enough to show his ability and personality charm.

"Altar Master, Mr. Liu has brought the weapons." A subordinate came down to report.

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Okay. Let's go, let's meet Mr. Liu."

Zhu Yuanzhang met Liu Bowen with a few confidants.

Liu Bowen was wearing a linen gown, holding a lupine in his hand, and smiling.

"Sir, you are finally here." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Liu Bowen said: "My lord, the five thousand gun heads you want have already been forged. I sent them to my lord."

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the oilcloth on the carriage, picked up a sharp cold iron gun head from the wooden box, nodded and said: "Good gun. Thank you, sir. With this batch of gun heads, we can have five thousand more gun heads." Spear. Sir, please come to the house, I will let the kitchen prepare the food and drink, and clean up the dust for the gentleman."

Liu Bowen said: "Just make two dishes at will. Now we spend money like water, and save as much as we can."

Raising an army is really costly, and it is simply a bottomless pit.The money earned by the Haisha faction is a bit unsustainable.This is still only 6000 people under Zhu Yuanzhang's command.If there were a few thousand more people, the Haisha faction would definitely go bankrupt.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Sir, when shall we raise troops?"

With troops in his hands, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't contain his thoughts.

Liu Bowen shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet. A year ago, Brother Qin and I corresponded to discuss this issue. He thought the same as me, and it's too early to raise troops now. Although the Yuan Dynasty has been corrupted to the core, its strength is not exhausted. At present, the imperial court still has strength. What's more, if you shoot the first bird and raise troops too early, you will be counterattacked by the imperial court. If you raise troops without permission, Mingjiao will not let us go."

The first person to stand out is great, but he often fails to succeed.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are examples.

In Qin Zhiyong's letter to Liu Bowen, he suggested to develop in secret and build more base areas.When the time comes, once the outbreak erupts, the rebel army must at least completely control the territory south of the Yangtze River.

With the shade of the big tree of Mingjiao and the assistance of Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang's development was very smooth.Fighting for the world is actually fighting for the hearts and minds of the people, and we are afraid of quick success.

It was too early to start the army. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang has laid down some territory now, there will not be so many talents to govern it for the time being.Liu Bowen has changed Qin Zhiyong's school into "Minglun Hall", and the school has expanded several times.However, the talents cultivated are still not enough.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

Ten years is really short for cultivating talents.

Zhu Yuanzhang had heard of Qin Zhiyong a long time ago.Zhu Yuanzhang had an inexplicable feeling about this Mr. Qin who secretly supported him.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Qin Zhiyong was too mysterious.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sir, Mr. Qin is the Grand Tutor of the Yuan Dynasty, do you think he will..."

Liu Bowen interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "My lord, are you talking about the rumors in the Jianghu? Others may become eagles and dogs of the imperial court, but brother Qin will definitely not. Brother Qin just went to Dadu ten years ago, and he was met by the Mongolian emperor. A sharp archer sniped and killed, the emperor and the national teacher are still guarding against him. If Brother Qin hadn't gone to Dadu to negotiate with King Ruyang, the Haisha faction would have been wiped out long ago, and the lord would not have so much money to train troops .”

The emperor, the national teacher, King Ruyang and others all set their sights on Qin Zhiyong.

A strong man like Qin Zhiyong, a fairy-like figure, is as bright as a lighthouse at night. It's no wonder that the emperor and the national teacher are not on guard against him.When the eyes of the emperor and the national teacher focused on Qin Zhiyong, they would naturally ignore the situation outside the capital.

The Haisha faction subsidized Zhu Yuanzhang, hoarded grain and forged weapons for him, and has not been discovered by the court until now.

Qin Zhiyong and Liu Bowen contributed a lot.

During Qin Zhiyong's ten years, five valuable information came back five times.Others can misunderstand and question Qin Zhiyong, but Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely cannot.If even Zhu Yuanzhang questioned Qin Zhiyong, it would be too wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I really don't know when I can see Mr. Qin?"

Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Brother Qin is now the imperial court's grand tutor, and he is living a comfortable life. We are not in a hurry. My lord wants to see him, and there will be opportunities in the future."

...............

Wudang faction.Zhang Sanfeng sat on a chair, looked at the disciples under his door, and said: "In a few months, it will be the centennial birthday of the poor Taoist. I originally planned to be casual, but Shaolin Temple, Emei Sect, Kongtong Sect, Huashan Sect, Kunlun Sect, etc. Pai Du sent a letter saying that he would come to celebrate the birthday of Pindao. It seems that there is no big birthday banquet, so it’s impossible.”

Song Yuanqiao said happily: "Master's [-]th birthday, of course it should be celebrated."

Zhang Sanfeng said: "Since a birthday banquet is going to be held, there is one person who has to be invited."

Yu Lianzhou asked, "I wonder who Master is going to invite to the banquet?"

Others were also puzzled.Master is the master of martial arts, admired by the entire world of martial arts.Those who can come to celebrate Master's birthday, don't they all feel honored?

Who has such a big face to ask Wudang to invite us in person?
Zhang Sanfeng said: "You all know this person. He is the court's Grand Tutor."

Song Yuanqiao's expressions changed.

It's Qin Zhiyong!

Song Yuanqiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, didn't Mr. Qin join the imperial court? He became the court's eagle dog..."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said: "Yuanqiao, you can't just look at things on the surface, but on the inside. Righteousness and evil do not lie in status and status, but in people's hearts. Mr. Qin is a gentleman, he is not a person who is greedy for wealth and honor. He did it The Imperial Tutor naturally has his reasons."

Yin Liting took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Master, this disciple is willing to go to Dadu to invite Mr. Qin."

Now Yin Liting has a beard and is much more mature than ten years ago.He has a calm state of mind, not only healed his hands and feet, but also his internal strength and swordsmanship are far above his brothers.

It's just that Yin Liting is low-key and has a calm personality. Jianghu martial arts don't know that he is already a peerless master.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said: "Liting, you are steady, don't panic when things happen. It's good if you go to Dadu."

Yin Liting said: "Disciple, go get ready now and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

…………

Yang Jin followed Yang Xiong and finally arrived at Dadu. Looking at the tall city wall, she exclaimed, "Wow, this is Dadu. Dad, look, the city wall is really high. Much higher than the city wall in our county."

Yang Xiong glared at Yang Jin: "You really are a boy who has never seen the world. Hurry up and go to the city. Let's go to the Taifu Mansion to meet Mr. Qin first."
