Chapter 1092 Chapter [-]

In the quaint courtyard of Ankang City, the afternoon sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing, carrying a faint fishy smell.Dai Mengwei slowly described the situation in the world, and in the eyes of Lu Zhongming beside him, there was gradually a light of understanding.

"The Fair Party... He Wen... said he came from the Southwest, but in fact, it's hard to say whether He Wen and the Southwest are of the same mind. Moreover, even if He Wen is a little nice to the Southwest and has some respect for Mr. Ning, at this time The fair party, including He Wen, who can keep his word, has a total of five people, and his subordinates turn the people into soldiers, good and bad are mixed, and this is the flaw and problem..."

"You look at Zou Xu in the Central Plains. When he was in Xuzhou, he recruited only tens of thousands of troops. When Liu Chengzong led the main force to Liangshan, he became selfish and self-reliant. How can the fair party have millions of people, how can it be united with the Southwest Black Banner? It's just black After Banner defeated the Jurchen, his reputation became extremely popular for a while, and the FAIR Party took advantage of the name to make things happen, and he admitted this foolishness on the face of it, not to mention the truth..."

"In today's world, the Southwest has strong soldiers and strong horses, and there is no doubt that they are the leaders for a while. But who can stand on their own, who doesn't have the slightest bit of ambition? The Jindi and the Southwest seem to be intimate, but in fact, the building girl can really become a lover. The devil's pillow? It's just a joke of a troublemaker... Southeast Fuzhou, His Majesty is determined to revitalize it after he ascended the throne, and he said that he has a bit of love with Ning Liheng, but if he can really revive the Wu Dynasty one day in the future, he Between Black Flag and Black Flag, is there really someone who will take the initiative to give in?"

"The black flag is the first. People in the world now seek a foothold. After the foothold, they seek the second. When they really become the second, they will have to face the problem of fighting with the black flag. As long as there is a slight ambiguity in the fair party, it will not be able to get around it." This hurdle."

"Disciple understands." Lu Zhongming on the side was convinced.

Dai Mengwei continued to move forward: "He opened the door and wants to hold a hero meeting, so we should go to join us. No matter how evil the fair party is, it won't beat up smiling people at this time. As long as there is a possibility of cooperation in the future, we should meet at this time." Let's meet and talk. Moreover, the Heroes' Meeting is a moment of ridicule, but as long as you calm down, everyone in the world will know that this is an opportunity. In the territory of the Fair Party, you will meet, The fair party is not the only one, the old man thinks that anyone with a long-term vision and worries about the southwest will not miss this conference."

Lu Zhongming nodded: "On the surface, the martial arts competition is trivial, and who goes down in private is the variable in the future."

"This matter needs to be adaptable, and it's not easy to measure, so only you can lead the team there and be a teacher can rest assured." Dai Mengwei smiled and said, "Let's take a closer look after you go there, maybe the female minister of Jin who has the best relationship with the Southwest , all secretly sent people to go there, that would be interesting."

"I will try my best to find out the reality under the five parties of the Fair Party. As the teacher said, millions of people must have their own ghosts, and there will never be fewer people who can be wooed." Lu Zhongming said, "It's just this A big battle is imminent, and the matter of food and grass in the rear is the most sensitive, if the disciple leaves at this time, I am afraid that among you brothers... there are not many who are good at counting..."

Dai Mengwei's side has been starving for a year, and it's hard to grow something. Sending troops to the Central Plains is a desperate move.But at the same time, every ounce of food and grass in the rear is taken out. In order to ensure the smooth use of troops on the front line, on the one hand, these food and grass must vigorously eliminate corruption and restrict all parties in the army. On the other hand, they must be prepared to suppress mutiny in the rear at any time In addition, the entire system of collecting and transporting grain is itself a major project that tests the ability to handle affairs. As long as those who sit in charge have a little selfishness, they may eventually endanger Dai Mengwei's entire power.

"For the matter of harvesting grain, I will personally sit in town for a period of time as a teacher. I know your worries in my heart, so it's okay." Dai Mengwei said, "In addition, I also have new arrangements for the things ahead. Within a year, I will When you enter Bianliang, you are seven or eight percent sure. You can go east and talk about important things with people, and you can use this as a prerequisite."

"The situation on the front line has changed a lot?"

"It's not appropriate to say too much about this matter. You go to Jiangning. As a teacher, I won't tell you too many details. You just watch quietly... There is another thing that is related to your trip, and you need to talk about it first. know..."

The master and apprentice spoke slowly, and walked through the long verandah.At this time, some green forest heroes who participated in the fight last night and had a short rest in the morning had already arrived at the main hall of this courtyard and gathered in the hall.Most of these people were rebellious and rebellious, but they were gathered together under the courtesy of Dai Mengwei. In the past few months, they were taught and tempered by Dai Mengwei's righteousness, and some of their original private thoughts were removed. After some cooperation, even the top few green forest tycoons can greet each other happily after meeting each other. After gathering, everyone forms a formation, and they are no longer like the mob they used to be.

The afternoon sun shone into the courtyard, and soon, Dai Mengwei and Lu Zhongming's master and apprentice also walked in.

The old man, known as the sage of today, first picked up his crutches, thanked everyone kindly, praised their hard work last night, and mourned the dead heroes.Then the leaders Wei He, Chen Bian, Qiu Changying and others were seated.

"...Recent events reminded me of a hero who was strong last year. Many of you may have heard of him, or may know him. This man is named Xu Yuanzong, and he is a master of marksmanship in Hankou. He holds a gun. Going forward, you can stab flies within ten feet, and you can hit a hundred times, Mr. Chen has fought against him, and he should be deeply remembered."

Chen Bian on the side cupped his hands: "Brother Xu... died at the hands of the devil, it's a pity, but it's also great..."

"This matter is actually the old man's fault." Dai Mengwei looked at the people in the hall, with compassion in his eyes, "At that time, the old man had just taken over the chaotic situation here, and there was no way to deal with many things. I heard that there was a hero in Hankou, so I asked him to write a book. Come here. At that time... the old man didn't know much about the heroes in the Jianghu. He knew his martial arts were strong, and it happened that the Southwest was going to hold a meeting, so he invited him to go to the Southwest to assassinate like the old hero of Zhou...Xu Yingxiong happily went, but every time Recalling this, it was all a big mistake of this old man."

"Xu Yingxiong seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence, how could it be Dai Gong's fault."

Everyone in the hall said: "That's right, Xu Yingxiong sacrificed for righteousness, just like Zhou Yingxiong..."

"It's just a mistake, and it's also in the southwest..."

"The devil will die badly..."

During these words, Dai Mengwei waved his hand: "Xu Yingxiong seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence, which is what a hero does. However, the old man is wrong because he was too narrow-minded back then. Everyone, you used to live in the same place, practice martial arts, or be a hero. Or common people, that's right. But this year, if you have contributed to your family and country, then you are no longer heroes and ordinary people. You should be called national scholars."

He said: "Everyone is here to abandon previous suspicions, abandon the past views of the sect, and communicate with each other, and then there is today's atmosphere. I have studied all my life, but it is only now that I know what the use of national scholars is. Back then, Xu Yuanzong was generous to me at my request. Going to righteousness, he is a national scholar, but if the old man is not too ignorant, stay here, communicate with you, and even bring out usable juniors, then his role will be far greater than going to the southwest to go to righteousness Just like yesterday's clowns and mobs, even if they were brave for a while, they couldn't get things done. Xu Yuanzong is a hero, but this old man is ignorant and stupid. Every time he thinks about it, he feels ashamed."

When he said this, he raised his teacup and poured the tea on the ground.Everyone looked at each other, all moved in their hearts, bowed their heads in silence for a while, unable to think of what to say.

Putting down the teacup, after a moment of silence, Dai Mengwei said: "You are all national scholars, so you should use it in the most critical places, such as protecting me, an old man, by my side. It really shouldn't be..."

Chen Bian wanted to say something, but Dai Mengwei waved his hand in advance: "But there is an incident today, which is quite grand, and the old man thinks, it is time for you to stand upright and make your name... this matter, You must have heard that it is the Heroes Conference that will be held in Jiangning."

When he said this, everyone looked at each other, and they all hesitated. After a while, Wei He and others spoke, and what they said was that the Jiangning Heroes Conference picked up the wisdom of others, which was a bit ridiculous, and the Jiangbei War was imminent, and they were all willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy , to contribute to this side.

Dai Meng smiled, first praised everyone's will, and then said: "...But going to Jiangning, on the one hand, you can represent us in an upright manner, and make a name for yourself; on the other hand, you represent the goodwill of the old man. I hope that I can bring some suggestions to the heroes of the world."

The old man said: "Since ancient times, the status of green forests and grasslands has not been high, but whenever the country is in danger, it must be the people who cheer up with enthusiasm and defend the country. Since the Jingping of the Wu Dynasty, the world has attached great importance to people who practice martial arts. Some progress has been made, but in fact, whether it is the Southwest's No. [-] Martial Arts Tournament, or the upcoming Heroes Conference in Jiangning, they are all just a show for their own reputation, at most they are just for themselves. Every man is a soldier."

"Although I am a literati, I was quite moved after what happened to Xu Yuanzong. This is a martial arts competition where three or five hundred people or three or five thousand people get together and fight for the first place. I don't want to do it. I want to make something for the warriors in the world that really belongs to you."

In the hall, the old man looked at the heroes and paused slightly: "Now everyone in the world knows that our Northern Expedition is imminent, with the goal of the old Beijing Bianliang. Restoring Bianliang, there will be a lot of waste in the future, I will support you in making the largest martial arts meeting in Bianliang."

"This martial arts association is not for you to perform a show and then be forced into the army, but to gather heroes from all over the world to communicate, exchange and improve each other. Let your skills be truly used to fight against the golden men and defeat those deviant people, so that all the warriors in the world can change from mediocrity to national warriors, without losing your original intention of practicing martial arts."

"So you guys are going to Jiangning, not to assassinate someone for a brave man, nor simply to fight fiercely in the arena. National scholars should have the actions of national scholars. You are here for a long-term plan, to learn from each other, to show Out of your own mind, you can invite heroes who have the same mind and insight to come over and join in the grand event. Of course, those who are willing to join the army in the Fair Party will not stop them..."

"As for the name of this Martial Arts Association, I have thought about it. I wanted to call it the Central Plains Martial Arts Association, but when I think about it, it is still narrow. The Huaxia Martial Arts Association will not work. It will make people think of the Southwest. Later, I got a name and called it-Zhonghua Martial arts club!"

"... More things will be handled by Zhongming and you together."

Dai Meng smiled and finished speaking.

The afternoon sun is still shining brightly.Everyone in the room agreed one after another, and their hearts were already churning.

In the past few years, when the Wu Dynasty was prosperous, there was a Yuquan gymnasium in the capital, but even Zhou Tong, the so-called No. 1 in the world, was actually not paid much attention by those in power.When the Wu Dynasty declined, on the one hand, there was huge external pressure, and on the other hand, Zhuji's martial arts novels were spread everywhere. The status of martial arts practitioners improved, but overall they still seemed awkward.

The biggest reason for this, of course, is that martial arts practitioners cherish themselves with their brooms, and they can be bandits, but they cannot become an army.After the fall of the Central Plains, the population migrated on a large scale, which led to a wave of so-called Northern Fist to the South. Back then in Lin'an, some people from the Jianghu also gathered to create a few new schools, but there were no real big figures on the stage to stand for such things. , in the final analysis, it is still impossible to fight on the battlefield. Even as scouts, according to the personalities of these warriors, they all seem to be mixed, and those who are really useful can be included in the army. Why let them become sects?

Jurchen went south for the fourth time, forcing the world to fall apart even more. When Dai Mengwei appeared, she used her fame and means to gather this group of green forest people.Under the persecution of righteousness and reality, these people also let go of some face and old customs, and began to abide by the rules, listen to orders, and cooperate. In this way, their strength has increased, but in fact, of course, their character has also been suppressed. some.

For the sake of righteousness, some people are willing to become Dai Mengwei's falcon dog, or even go as generously as Xu Yuanzong.But at the same time, who doesn't want real fame and fortune?The Southwest Huaxia Army said it was holding the best martial arts competition in the world, but if they really went to the final choice, wouldn't they be serving as a soldier?This matter is also true in Jiangning.So they didn't want to go.

But if the "Chinese Martial Arts Association" that Dai Gong said was established, with the platform and endorsement of someone with his status, wouldn't this martial arts association be equivalent to the Yuquan gymnasium when martial arts are valued?Even Zhou Tong's resurrection, I'm afraid everyone will feel envious, and they, as the initiators of this matter, may even leave their names in the book in the future.

Thinking about it this way, the hearts of those who can see the foreground are already burning...

**************

Same afternoon.

Lao Ba, Jin Chenghu and others with hideous scars on their faces confronted the swordsman who rescued them last night in an old house in the south of the city.

The swordsman named You Hongzhuo told them his judgment: Dai Mengwei is not an incompetent person, he has a good command of the green forest people under him, and he is not a complete mob.And around him, at least in his confidant circle, there are some people who can do things, and the guards around him are also arranged in an orderly manner, so they are by no means ideal targets for assassination.

"...Moreover, Old Dog Dai has done a lot of bad things, but he has covered them up on the surface... If you kill this Dai now, it's just to help him become famous."

After several months of inquiring in Dai Mengwei's territory, You Hongzhuo learned a lot of inside information, and also knew that the old man, Jin Chenghu and others were knights who were framed by Dai Mengwei, so he explained these things one by one, and also obtained information from the Huaxia Army. Some of his thoughts were expressed, but when he heard about the Huaxia Army, Lao Ba was furious.

"...you saved my old man, you can't be called a bad guy. But when it comes to the Huaxia Army, it's not a good thing—"

"...Back then, when we fought against gold, everyone called it righteous. I also set up a group of brothers and sisters for the sake of righteousness! Dai Mengwei had a dark heart, and our group fell for his evil tricks. My old eight will live with him in this life But I will always remember that when the Huaxia Army defeated the Jurchen West Route Army, it was in Hanzhong. As long as he did it, he could kill Dai Mengwei, but Ning Yi, who said it soundingly, just refused to do it—"

"... Others said that he killed the emperor in a fit of anger, but in my opinion, Mr. Ning, he is also a coward—"

"...For more than a year, Dai Mengwei has killed many of my brothers here, you don't know that. But how many people here have he killed! How sanctimonious! You know this brother well .You let me bear it, what about these dead and dying people-"

"...My old man doesn't know what to do slowly, and I don't know what Mr. Ning said. I only know that I want to save people, and killing Dai Mengwei is to save people—"

"...I don't want to wait until Mr. Ning comes to save people. By the time he comes, many undeserving people have already died... There is nothing good about these big people, because he and us little people have never been on the same side—— —”

You Hongzhuo turned his head to look at the scar-faced man growling and drooling at the table in front of him.

"I'm not saying whether Dai Mengwei deserves to die, but what if you really can't kill him?"

"Back then, hero Zhou stabbed Nianhan. Are you sure you can kill him? What my old eight used to do was to collect money to kill people. I didn't know that the brothers and sisters around me were killed by Dai Mengwei. Only then did I miss a few times, but as long as he is alive, I'm going to kill him-"

In the room of the old house, You Hongzhuo looked at this hysterical man. He had an ugly appearance, hideous scars on his face, tattered clothes, and thinning hair. When he mentioned Dai Mengwei and the Huaxia Army, his eyes were bloodshot... Finally sighed Take a breath.

Jin Chenghu on the side sent him out: "Brother is from the Huaxia Army?"

"I have competed with people from the Huaxia Army, admired and admired them, but never joined the army. Speaking of which, I was also confused by what he thought..." You Hongzhuo looked back, "But he will kill you... ..."

"He only did this occasionally, and he couldn't restrain himself." Jin Chenghu said, "In the past year, Dai Mengwei has been chasing us closely. During a fight, he was stabbed in the head to save his brother. Although he survived by chance, he Speaking of Dai Mengwei and the Huaxia Army, it is difficult to control. When it comes to making assassination arrangements, he can actually be calm, but the people around Dai Mengwei are getting more and more difficult to deal with..."

He paused at this point: "Brother is very skilled in swordsmanship and knows what Dai Mengwei has done. Why don't you help me and kill Dai Mengwei and then hurry up?"

"...difficult, and not necessarily beneficial."

"...Whose benefit? Some people will die today, and some people will die tomorrow. It was Dai Mengwei who killed them. What about their benefits?"

You Hongzhuo looked at Jin Chenghu in front of him. This person should have a fierce face in the past, but now he only has a thin face covered with dust and scars.At this time, he had some answers to say, but he opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

Jin Chenghu cupped his hands and laughed: "No matter what, thank you brother for your kindness today, and if we meet again in Jianghu in the future, I will repay you."

You Hongzhuo nodded and left the courtyard.

That night, on a nearby roof, he recalled the scene when he first entered the rivers and lakes.At that time, he experienced the betrayal of his fourth brother Kuang Wenbai, and saw that the chivalrous elder brother was actually collecting money for Wang Juyun's chaotic teachers, and he also experienced the filth of the Great Bright Sect. When the famous Huaxia Army deployed in Jin, The Tiger King regime was overthrown in a blink of an eye, which actually caused a wave of chaos. He didn't know who was the good guy, so he chose to walk alone in the rivers and lakes and guard his own heart.

Now that he has seen more, he can certainly say that it is best for most people to let the Huaxia Army deal with it, but what about Lao Ba and Jin Chenghu who are among them?The "goodness" of the Huaxia Army is really meaningless to them.

In the world, only incompleteness is the true meaning.

*************

That night, You Hongzhuo sat on the roof for half the night, and the next day he changed his appearance a little, left Ankang City and went eastward by land, embarking on a journey to Jiangning.

He left Jindi last year, only intending to go back after experiencing some experience in the southwest. Who knew that he was appreciated by the masters of the Huaxia Army, and after verifying his identity in Jindi, he was arranged to be a training partner in the Huaxia Army for several months. , Martial arts greatly increased.After the training was over, he left Southwest and spent several months on Dai Mengwei's territory to inquire about news, which could be regarded as an act of repaying his kindness.

At this time, the matter was coming to an end, and then it was reported that Jiang Ning's hero meeting.He has no desire for the competition in the arena, but when he heard that Lin Zongwu, the number one in the world, and his disciples will participate, he was finally moved - a few years ago, he had seen the fat monk of the Great Brightness Sect when he was seriously injured Once, at that time, he only felt that the No.1 martial arts in the world were unfathomable.But up to now, he has practiced under Shi Jin, Lu Hongti and other masters successively, and has also experienced half a year of iron and blood training in the Huaxia Army. He has already warmed up the feeling of seeing the number one queen in the world again.

At the same time, as the fair party opened its doors to welcome guests this time, what will happen in Jiangning? Now, as a member of Jindi, it is necessary for him to experience it in the past.After seeing the situation clearly in Jiangning, he could go back and meet the female prime minister, Shi Jin and others again, just like his investigation on Dai Mengwei's territory, these news are always very useful.

……

Ning Ji stayed in Ankang City for two more days, during which time he secretly observed the defense situation of some suspicious places in the west of the city, and the final conclusion was actually similar to that of You Hongzhuo.

Assassinating Dai Mengwei is very difficult.

On the other hand, he didn't have any evidence of Dai Mengwei's evil actions in his hands for the time being, so it seemed irrational to take such a big risk and have to kill the old man.

In the end, he could only give up resentfully.

On June 23, he, the Furu Five, Wang Xiuniang, his father and daughter waited for a merchant ship heading east, and went down the Han River...

……

A few more days pass.

Lu Zhongming and others set off from Ankang and embarked on a journey to Jiangning.At this time, they had already compiled a series of plans for the "Chinese Martial Arts Association", and they were already in the process of inquiring and perfecting the information of many big men in the rivers and lakes.

They even brought a few letters written by Dai Mengwei with them. For great masters such as Lin Zongwu, they would try to lobby and invite him to Bianliang to serve as the first president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association.

……

Ding Songnan, who was preparing for the battle, also sent a team to Jiangning shortly after returning.At this moment, Zou Xu, who had gone to Jindi, had already started crossing the Yellow River south with part of the military resources.

Xue Guangcheng, who was in Jindi, once met Zou Xu, and then went to the female prime minister's house to protest endlessly and ask questions.Lou Shuwan was not ambiguous, scolded Xue Guangcheng without giving in, and even hit him with an inkstone.Although Lou Shuwan said that "Xue Guangcheng and Zhan Wu are colluding together, they are extremely arrogant", but in fact, when Zhan Wu came to fight, she still scolded them both and ran away.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise—"

"The shrew—the shrew—"

Xue Guangcheng's roar could be heard in almost half of the city.

Lou Shuwan turned her head and complained to Zou Xu, raising the price. Zou Xu also smiled wryly and said some happy words like "Mr. Ning likes...no, I admire you the most". Quite harmonious.So much so that when Zou Xu left, Lou Shuwan smiled very gently while waving her hands: "Remember to win."

"Yes! I will not embarrass Aunt Lou!" Zou Xu promised with a salute.

After Zou Xu left, Lou Shuwan shared [-]% of the profit with the Huaxia Army here.Due to the lack of points of suspicion, and the suspicion that Jindi was cheating on the books, the two sides exchanged blows again.

Everyone in the world has their own choices.

In early July, autumn has arrived.

On this day, before Jianmen Pass, there are still many people entering the pass.

A thin man with slightly sunken cheeks, wearing the same standard unlined clothes as others, was slowly moving forward in the line.He stared and looked around, his eyes seemed to contain infinite curiosity. When he passed the pass gate, he looked up at the high city gate like a child, and let out a "wow..." sound.

At the registration office of the city gate, he struggled to write his name with a pen.The veteran on duty could see the inconvenience on his hands: the flesh and some nails at the fingertips of his ten fingers had grown and twisted, which was the trace of the fingers being tortured and forcibly pulled out.

Since he was followed by two plainclothes soldiers, the veteran didn't ask too many questions, but just saluted him.

He walked in the team entering the mountain at a slow speed, because after entering the mountain, he could often see stone tablets on the side of the road. The stone tablets either recorded the battle with the Jurchens, or recorded the names of martyrs who died in a certain area.Every time he walked, he had to stop to take a look. He even wanted to reach out to touch the words on the stone tablet, but was stopped by the red armband on duty next to him who cursed.

"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry..."

He quickly apologized, because he looked thin and innocent, easy to bully, so the other party didn't continue to scold him.

In the mountains in July, the leaves turn yellow, and when the wind blows, they make a rustling sound.

The mountain road is full of people walking, mules and horses passing through, the voices of people maintaining order and the voices of cursing people gather together.There were too many people, and not many people noticed the appearance of this ordinary "returner" in the crowd...
