Chapter 26 The Road to Hegemony
After finishing their work, the two changed their clothes and walked out of the inn.

"Master...? Master has woken up." The old one shouted excitedly, and everyone ran over.

"Master, you've finally woken up. You don't know how overbearing the young master is. He made us practice kung fu every day, and we've been tortured so badly these past few days." The old one cried, "Master, if you don't wake up, we will all become A master of martial arts..."

"Who told you to rest? Come back and practice." Tian Ya shouted, and the Khitan warrior immediately turned his head to stare at the young master Tian Ya.

Zong Xin waved his hand: "Tian Ya, take a good rest, I know you have worked hard these few days."

"It's not hard, the disciples have to train them well, their martial arts are so poor that they can't even learn the Nine Seals Yimai method, and they will be useless if they are in danger in the future."

'呯～'

Zong Xin punched Tianya in the stomach, then lifted Tianya and threw it up, Shi 56 immediately caught it, carried him back to his room to sleep.

"It's done. Serve wine and meat, and have a good meal."

Finally freed, the sixteen Khitan warriors hugged the wine jar excitedly.Put the table together and drink immediately, they just like drinking and hunting, and they have no other hobbies.Ten 78 didn't come because he was on a surveillance mission.

Three wine tours
A scholar came from the door of the hotel and came directly to Zongxin.

"One of the elders of the Ao Clan, I met once the other day." The third child walked up to Zong Xin and introduced.

The scholar chuckled lightly and said, "The new head of the Ao Gang, Weak Scholar, has paid a visit to Master Zongxin, and I hope that Master Zongxin will fulfill his promise. Now that the Ao Gang has lost power, only Master Zong Xin can make the Ao Gang flourish."

"The leader is too polite, how can the poor monk have this ability? But as long as the Ao Gang does not harm the people from now on, it will be included in the poor monk's command. I believe that friends in the world will also give the poor monk three points."

Wen Ruo said depressedly: "That's not what I said at the beginning, Master Zong Xin should be a registered military advisor."

"It's all fine. The poor monk only needs the Ao Gang to benefit the village from now on, and recruit troops and horses to prepare for emergencies." Zong Xin said: "In today's troubled times, even Lei Hong needs an army, let alone the poor monk. If the gang leader is willing, , in the future, even if you can’t be king, you can still be hegemony.”

You can still dominate without being the king... Wen Ruo understood this from the beginning.If Aobang serves as Zongxin's base, even if Aobang conquers the world, he will never be the real emperor.Even if hegemony is already a dream, at least he is a king of a feudal territory and an emperor outside the court.

"Master Zong Xin thinks what should be done?"

"Soldiers are more skilled than they are. In terms of Ao Gang's business, they can raise at least [-] soldiers and horses. If those local ruffians want to stay, they should train hard and get out if they want. They will never stop them. There is no need to pay tribute to Lei Hong now. , can build a batch of armor weapons, Weinan is the base of poor monks."

Wen Ruo said depressedly: "What the master means is... let me do everything below, and it is the master who will benefit in the end, right?"

"That's right...that's what the poor monk means." Zong Xin said with a smile: "But you are the leader of the Ao Clan. The poor monk is just giving a clear path. Whether you walk or not is entirely up to you."

"It's the way of understanding, why can't I see clearly?"

Zong Xin knew what Wen Ruo wanted to ask, so he dipped his finger in the wine, tapped it on the table, then drew a small circle on the outside, and then drew a big circle on the outside.The shape is like an archery target, but the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. In the eyes of Wen Ruo, this is not an archery target, but the world.

Wen Ruo sighed and said: "Anyway, the Ao Clan is coming to an end, no matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than a circle. Wen Ruo puts his future on Master, Wen Ruo must impress Master, and Master should not let Wen Ruo down."

"There are so many prides in the country, how can I, a monk, be able to give pointers? But as long as you have the heart to fight for success, you should make plans early. Anyway, it will do no harm to you, right? The poor monk's request is also very simple, mutual benefit."

"Thank you, master, for your guidance. The Ao Gang will definitely change its appearance from today. When the master comes to Weinan again, Wen Ruo will not disappoint the master." After finishing speaking, Wen Ruo turned around and left.

There are many things to do next, such as raising soldiers and training soldiers, and taking care of business matters.But all of this is to make wedding dresses for others. When the time comes, these soldiers belong to themselves, but they will fight for others.

Wen Ruo knew that he was not strong enough, so he could only place his hope on another person.Master Zong Xin is almost the only choice... Reputable people will definitely look down on the small Ao Gang. Zong Xin has just shown his talents and is now famous in the world, but in terms of power, he is not as powerful as him.

Zong Xin needs an army, and the Ao Gang is his best choice. As long as the Ao Gang does well, this will be the first stop for Zong Xin to fight for world hegemony.Wen Ruo needs to use the name of Master Zongxin, an eminent monk, to carry forward the Ao Gang, and then recruit troops to do the most critical first step for him.

Wen Ruo knows that the master of this army...is not him.

Wen Ruo is also a helpless move. The Ao Gang loses the two backers of Lei Hong and Zhao Siwan, and they will inevitably encounter enemies everywhere in the future, and they will never be as strong as they used to be.The Ao Gang must change. Zong Xin gave a clear path. This path is indeed feasible. Although it is a bit more difficult, the Ao Gang will be stronger than before.

After Wen Ruo went back, he immediately announced that the Ao Gang would be under the sect of Master Zong Xin. From now on, he would never bully the people and do good deeds everywhere.This will not only increase Master Zongxin's reputation, but also let people in the Jianghu know that a new backer has appeared in the Ao Gang.

As soon as Wen Ruo left, Shi Qi hurried back to the hotel and knelt down in front of Zong Xin.

"Master, Wang Jingchong is taking his family to Weinan Wharf. I believe he is leaving Weinan. Eighteen is following behind. Master, shall we rob him of his wealth or his sex?"

"You...how did you think of robbery? What kind of lust is there for an old man?"

"Hey~~ Everyone has their own preferences. I thought the master liked this type and let us monitor." Shi Qi smiled and said, "Besides...doesn't Wang Jingchong have a daughter? That girl is not bad~"

"Believe it or not if I beat you to death?" Zong Xin took a deep breath and said, "Let's set off, there must be no mistakes in setting off immediately."

The Khitan warriors immediately stood up and prepared. Everyone had a clear division of labor, and everything was prepared as soon as they came and went. Even Zong Xin was very surprised by the speed.

Tianya was put on the carriage, and a group of 17 people rode horses and guarded the carriage to Weinan Ferry.Even arriving at the ferry earlier than Wang Jingchong's family, Shiba also returned to the army.

Wang Jingchong was also taken aback when he came to the ferry. Eighteen burly monks escorted a carriage. Who was in this carriage?

"Oh~ Is Master Zong Xin in the car?"

Zong Xin suddenly poked his head out and said with a friendly smile, "Amitabha, it's been a long time since you've seen Wang Benefactor, how are you doing recently?"

"Well, this old bone is ten years younger, thanks to Master Zong Xin who opened up the meridians for this old man." Wang Jingchong also got out of the car and waved his hands to Master Zong Xin, sincerely admiring this little monk.

Zong Xin smiled lightly, but did not answer.

Wang Jingchong walked to the carriage and asked in a low voice: "It is rumored that Dong Changping, the head of the Ao Clan, whose meridians were abolished, and Zhu Zitao, the deputy head, who was dismembered into thousands of pieces, were both good things done by the master. Is this true or not?"

Zong Xin nodded, but still did not reply.

"Master, then you will be in big trouble..." Wang Jingchong said: "Leihong may not care about this gang, but Dong Changping's brother-in-law Zhao Siwan is not a good man and a believer. That guy is simply crazy, but for Dong Changping Changping's sister is very obedient, so if you offend him, be careful in the future."

"The benefactor is too worried. Punishing the evil and promoting the good is what practitioners of our generation should do. If we are afraid of offending Zhao Siwan and ignore the evil in the eyes, then the poor monk's scriptures will be recited in vain, right?" Zong said: "The benefactor is Are you going to go to Kaifeng by water? The poor monk happened to be on the way."

"Dare to ask where the master is going?"

"The poor monk originally wanted to go to Kaifeng, but he still had some private matters to pass through Luoyang, so he got off the boat halfway."

Wang Jingchong nodded and said: "Master, if you don't mind, you can go on the old man's official boat. Water robbers are rampant along the way, but they dare not rob the official boat."

"Then thank the benefactor."

"It's just a small matter. You are the savior of my family. I am worried that I will not have a chance to repay my kindness." Wang Jingchong was very excited, haha, and his men drove the carriage onto the boat for Zong Xin.

Fengxiang is also in the Weihe River Basin. Wang Jingchong's boat is one of the best on the pier. Although there are guards, the boat is more than enough to hold 100 people.

After boarding the boat, Zong Xin stood at the bow to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Weihe River. The Weihe River is a tributary of the Yellow River. It is not as rough as the Yellow River. The river is more turbid and less clear.When there is a lot of rain, the river surface is turbid like mud, and when there is little rain, the river surface is as clear as a mirror.

It's the rainy season, the river is turbulent, and the water flows very fast. It's a good time to hurry.

It is only two or three days by water from Weinan to Luoyang, which is much faster than land.Wang Jingchong waited on Zhou Dao, because Zong Xin was the savior of his family, so he didn't dare to be sloppy.

Not only Wang Jingchong served Zhou Dao, but Wang Baoyu was even more considerate in serving him. He approached Zong Xin shamelessly, and almost didn't ask for bedtime.But it's no wonder, the meeting between the two was full of excitement, and Zong Xin was still young, and his appearance and martial arts were all dragons among men, so how could the little girl not be tempted?
Eighteen Khitan warriors sat in a circle all day long, with their hands in seals to understand the mystery of the Nine Seals Yimai Technique.Some people have achieved a little success and can feel the aura around them, but it is not easy to completely calm down.Therefore, the Khitan warriors continued to practice the most troublesome and also the simplest martial arts.
