Chapter 63

"I and ordinary people really don't understand what a master does, but since Master Zong Xin dragged him and His Majesty knew about it, I will naturally not disappoint Master and His Majesty." Wang Jingchong took a deep breath and said, "However... Xiao Fengxiang I'm afraid it's beyond our ability to raise nearly ten thousand soldiers for nothing."

"Don't worry, as long as you tell your Majesty that this matter was ordered by the poor monk, your majesty will know the meaning, and will pull out the silver taels at that time, and then go to Weinan to buy grain and send it to Tongguan."

"So it is." Although Wang Jingchong didn't understand the reason, he knew what to do.

Zong Dao said, "Lord Wang, if Li Shouzhen comes to ask in person, tell me what Zong Xin meant, and don't say anything else. As for the reason... the poor monk saved your daughter, and there is no repayment for it."

"clear."

After the two discussed it, they immediately returned to the army.

Wang Baoyu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Father, what did Master Zong Xin say?"

"It has nothing to do with you, it's a national event, little girl, don't meddle in it."

Wang Jingchong has always been very kind to his daughter, but when he has a relationship with Zong Xin, Wang Jingchong's attitude will change.How could Wang Jingchong fail to see his daughter's affection for Master Zong Xin?It's no longer a good impression, almost to the point of agreeing with each other.

This girl is too ignorant, Master Zong Xin is an eminent monk, how could she get married?The more you care, the more trouble you will have.

Zong Xin smiled softly: "Did Mr. Wang return to Fengxiang to take office?"

"Exactly."

"The poor monk just happened to be rushing back to Weinan, this time he will trouble Mr. Wang again."

"It's a small thing, Master Zong Xin is willing to show you face, I really wish for it, please hurry up, Master." Wang Jingchong also didn't expect that he and Master Zong Xin were so destined that they would go the same way no matter whether they came or went.

Naturally, Wang Jingchong took care of him in every possible way. There were too many reasons. No matter from which point of view, Zong Xin was worth making friends with, or even flattering him.

The rush from Kaifeng to Weinan is going against the current, and the speed must be taken advantage of by the wind, so the speed is naturally much slower.The two-day and three-day journey along the river took eight days against the river.

Back at Weinan Wharf, a group of people came forward immediately, led by frail scholars.

"Master Zongxin is very polite~" Wen Ruo said politely: "Master is indeed not someone in the pool, the battle of Kaifeng can be said to be the most popular, and now the heroes of the world look up to the contemptuous gang, all thanks to the prestige of the master."

Zong Dao: "The leader is being polite. It has been about a month since we left Weinan. I wonder if there has been any change in the Ao Gang?"

"Change? It can't be called. Except for borrowing the name of the Aobang, there is almost no similarity. Now the Aobang is benefiting the village, building bridges and repairing roads everywhere, and never oppressing the people. And I have recruited three people as the master said. Thousands of soldiers have already started training, and the three thousand soldiers will be able to go out in less than half a year."

Wen Ruo didn't expect the Ao Gang to develop so well. Ever since the Ao Gang was brought under the sect of Master Zong Xin, everyone in Weinan was taken aback.But the Ao Gang's way of doing things has immediately changed drastically. The common people think that it is the blessing of Master Tuo Zongxin, and they also look up to the Ao Gang.

In the past, the Ao Gang said that street tigers were disgusting but could not be provoked.But now the people of Weinan are proud to join the Ao Gang, as long as they join the Ao Gang, they will be under the sect of Master Zong Xin, which is a great honor.

The business of the Ao Gang is also going smoothly. Even if there is a problem with the cash flow, they can still get the goods in debt. Others are not in a hurry, because Master Zong Xin will never default on the payment of the goods, so they can ship with confidence.

In just one month, Wen Ruo developed the Ao Gang Planning into another gang, but kept a name.

Aobang has become a guard in Weinan, and its military strength is far superior to that of the Huazhou governor.And the voice of the people is extremely high and they fully support it.If the Ao Gang rebelled, they would immediately take over the land and become king.

Wen Ruo is not so stupid, how dare a mere three thousand troops rebel?Now use the name of Zongxin to develop vigorously, and only in the future can we get involved in the world.

"Okay, well done." Zong said: "How is the business recently? Is the military expenditure enough?"

"I no longer need to pay tribute to Lei Hong and Zhao Siwan, and I don't need to curry favor with the Zhao Clan. Weinan's business is far better than before. Now I want to recruit another two thousand soldiers, and gather five thousand to train together."

"Inappropriate." Zong Dao said, "Soldiers are good but not many. Three thousand small soldiers in Weinan is enough. Is there any news about Li Shouzhen?"

"Yes, Li Shouzhen has occupied Tong and closed the door."

The frail scholar knew that Zong Xin was concerned about Li Shouzhen's affairs, and that Li Shouzhen would not die for a day and Zong Xin couldn't sleep peacefully.However, Tongguan is well-known for being strong all over the world, and it may not be easy to attack by force. Guo Wei had no choice but to besiege the city and trap Tongguan to death.

"As expected, he will definitely die, so there is no need to worry." Zong Xin said with a light smile, "Master, the poor monk didn't eat Weishui stone fish last time he came to Weinan, so he must not miss it this time."

"It's already been prepared for the master, please come here." The weak scholar immediately invited Zong Xin to the most famous Linshui Pavilion in Weishui River, which is near the Weihe River.

The stone fish in the Weishui River will die when they come out of the water. If you want to eat the most delicious stone fish, you must steam them in raw water so that the water does not touch the ground.Take water directly from the river and put it into the pot to steam the stone fish to bring out the umami taste to the extreme.Lei Hong decided to accept Dong Changping as his grandson after eating this dish.

The weak scholar rented out the entire third floor of Linshui Pavilion, and the group sat and drank wine. The table was full of Weinan specialties, especially the Weishui stone fish, which was extremely delicious.

The Khitan warriors lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, living a nomadic life. How could they ever see fish?The delicacy of the stone fish made the Khitan warrior almost swallow the fishbone. Of course, the delicacy is missing the wine, so he poured it down with the jar.I have spent enough time on the boat these days, and I finally have a chance to relax.

While eating, he suddenly heard footsteps downstairs, and a fierce and strong man slowly walked up.

This person is about 40 years old, and his two eyebrows are red and straight to the sideburns. This person's eyes are extremely fierce, not showing power but evil spirit.The lower jaw is slightly protruding, and it looks even more fierce.How could this look like a living person?It's like a ghost in hell.

"This person is Zhao Siwan, Dong Changping's brother-in-law." Weak scholar whispered: "I heard that Dong Changping was taken back to Chang'an by Zhao Siwan to recuperate after being beaten by you. He came to Weinan half a month ago, and seemed to have the intention of starting a war. Zhao Siwan's attitude immediately changed when he heard what he had done."

Wen Ruo immediately stood up, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhao, please take a seat."

Zhao Siwan sat next to Zong Xin with her mouth curled up. Although she looked fierce, she didn't show any hostility, and even saluted the frail scholar.

Zhao Siwan was the governor of Yongxing Festival, and the largest force along the Wei River was Yongxing.Chang'an is only a part of Yongxing.Even Bu Xiangyang, the leader of the martial arts alliance, wanted to give him a weak look. There was no way he was really afraid of a weak scholar like a gang leader.

Zong Xin really didn't expect that Zhao Siwan, an enemy, would go to Weinan, why would he come to eat this meal if he knew this?Immediately after the disembarkation date, go to Chang'an.This is miserable, Dong Changping is Zhao Siwan's brother-in-law, he came here for a clear purpose, he must have come to avenge Dong Changping.But judging from his attitude, maybe there is something to ask for.

"Master Zong Xin, let's be smart and don't speak dark words. You cut off my fortune and beat my brother-in-law into a useless person. Now my wife sends me to kill you. Life for life, but it's fair."

"It's fair, kill me." Zong Xin predicted that Zhao Siwan would never kill himself, so he deliberately said this to provoke him.

Zhao Siwan said: "Master, what do you call this? Zhao is not ignorant of the world. Dong Changping does all kinds of crimes and deserves to die. How can he kill an eminent monk like Master Zong Xin for him? But he is my brother-in-law after all, and his wife is crying all day at home. , how do I live this day?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. As long as you don't help you win the world, other things can still be discussed."

"It's important for people to know themselves. Zhao is not a talent for governing the country, nor does he have any intention of conquering the world. He has no intention of doing so." Zhao Siwan said with a smile: "Zhao heard that Master Zongxin has the ability to measure life expectancy by observing physiognomy. Out of curiosity, Zhao wanted to ask. Ask how much life is left."

Zong Xin carefully looked at Zhao Siwan's face, then pinched his fingers and kept shaking his head.

"It's strange, it's really strange..." Zong Dao said, "The poor monk can't figure it out. Mr. Zhao, your life expectancy is not determined by heaven, but by man."

"Master, please speak."

"Master Zhao, your birthday is extraordinary. It is the birthday of 'Niu Taurus' on the 28th constellation in the sky. People with this kind of fate are by no means ordinary. I think Wang Bodang, the general of the Five Tigers of Wagang Mountain, had this kind of fate. Daoists who came late can't calculate Lord Zhao's longevity. This kind of fate must be a hero in troubled times." Zong Xin said a few compliments, although he didn't go straight to the point, but Zhao Siwan's face was full of joy.

Indeed, among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were only two real heroes in Wagangzhai. Besides Qin Shubao, Wang Bodang was the most admirable.Zhao Siwan was not a kind person in the first place, and when she heard that her fate was the same as Wang Bodang, she was filled with joy.After all, Wang Bodang was also born a bandit and eventually became a hero.

"Master, you are polite, but Mr. Zhao really wants to know when he will die. There must be an explanation."

Zong Dao: "As long as this kind of fate, fate cannot be controlled by the sky. 'Niu Jinniu' meets 'Lou Jingou', and the two live and die together. Back then, Wang Bodang would rather shoot ten thousand arrows through his body to save Li Mi. This is the 'Niu Jinniu' When Taurus meets Lou Jingou, the two must be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, and they will die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.”

"Dare to ask Master, who is the 'Lou Jingou' in this world?" Zhao Siwan suddenly took a deep breath, and his face was very ugly.

"It seems that Mr. Zhao has the answer, otherwise his face wouldn't be so ugly?"

Zhao Siwan suddenly thought of someone, maybe it was him.Born in the same year, the same month and the same day, there was only one... Li Shouzhen.

The relationship between the two is actually good, and they often joked about it before.Zhao Siwan had long seen that Li Shouzhen had the intention of rebelling, but Zhao Siwan didn't have too much ambition, so she gradually stayed away.But Li Shouzhen promised a long time ago that if he wins the world, Zhao Siwan will be promoted and rich...

Never expected Li Shouzhen to lose power, and now stick to Tongguan... This situation is exactly the same as that of Wei Wang Li Mi.Damn Li Shouzhen, he went crazy and hurt himself.

If Li Shouzhen was Lou Jingou in this world, he wouldn't be allowed to die for his own sake.According to Master Zong Xin, the two must live and die together. Although Li Shouzhen loses power, he still has to do his best to make him stick to Tongguan.

Zhao Siwan gritted her teeth, she didn't expect that she didn't participate in the rebellion and was still implicated by Li Shouzhen, could this be the fate?
