Astral Apostle Chapter 220: Again
Latest website: As winter gradually entered, the turmoil in Huyang gradually subsided.
Everyone knows that Chen Feng has established a firm foothold in Huyang, fighting against the other two dragons. It's just a truce in winter, and they haven't moved yet.
Because Chen Feng seized Fan Zong's foundation just before winter, the weather was cold and the water was freezing, so the other two dragons were not good at using weapons, and they did not take advantage of his unsteady foothold to send troops to join forces, so they had time to rest .
The turmoil in the green forest has temporarily subsided, but there is a rumor spreading like wildfire in the world.
It is rumored that next spring, the Eight Great Schools of the World will hold a martial arts conference in Yunxia Mountain, Huyang.
When the news came out, everyone in the world was shocked.
The eight sects have been famous for many years and have high prestige. They are all giants in the world. Before this, they had never joined forces with great fanfare, just to deal with one person.
In this way, wouldn't it mean that most of the world would be against Chen Feng?
This is a big scene!
For a while, people from all corners of the country were excited and came to Huyang one after another, wanting to join in the fun and not wanting to miss this grand martial arts event.
On the other side, with the prefects of the prefectures in Huyang playing, the turbulent situation here also spread to the center of the court.
…
The capital city, the imperial palace, and the Ziji Hall.
The emperor has not returned, and now the crown prince Wang Jing supervises the country.
Except for important events such as appointment of officials, transfer of soldiers and horses, and pilgrimage to foreign countries, the prince will be in charge of the rest of the routine.
It was a routine day to go to court, and they talked about affairs as usual, and soon they talked about the banditry.
"The banditry in Yanbei and Taidong has been a disaster for many years. Before the father went south for the autumn tour, he had entrusted the recruitment of security to Prime Minister Qin. I don't know what is going on now?"
Wang Jing looked at Qin Song, Prime Minister on the right, with a calm tone.
He is about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing.
Qin Song came out from the crowd and said: "To live up to the high expectations of the Holy One, the old minister has sent people to meet and talk with the leader of Tianwangzhai in the green forest in the north. They are willing to serve the court, send troops to suppress the bandits, and put down the banditry in Yanbei and Taidong. All matters have been discussed properly, and we only need to wait for the emperor to return to Beijing to make an order."
"Qin Xiangshi is the pillar of the country, thank you." Wang Jing nodded with a smile.
"His Royal Highness praises you, the veteran is just doing his best, and he is ashamed."
Qin Song cupped his hands and responded politely.
"Naturally, if the bandit troubles in the north are eliminated, we should remember Prime Minister Qin's achievements."
Wang Jing nodded.
At this time, an official came out and said: "I have something to announce. Nowadays, bandits in the world are mostly in Yanbei and Taidong. But recently, the magistrates of Huyang states said that bandits in Huyang also have the intention of making troubles." Elephant. Chen Feng, the thief who caused chaos among the people in Jiangchun, fled to the boundary of Huyang and gathered in the mountains and forests. In just one or two months, tens of thousands of people were rolled up. In the future, he will become a serious trouble. He also asked the imperial court to send troops Annihilation."
Hearing the words, Wang Jing muttered:
"For the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, I need to ask my father to play. I have no right to issue an edict. However, my father has always implemented the strategy of recruiting security, and he does not want to use swords rashly. Why don't we try recruiting this Chen Feng?"
"Your Highness must not!"
Hundreds of civil and military officials spoke out to stop it.
Qin Song cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:
"This Chen Feng is a disaster for the people. He killed dozens of officials ordered by the court without authorization. The crime is extremely heinous. According to the law, there will be no pardon, otherwise the court will lose face!"
The privy envoy Pang Hongyue came out and said loudly: "That's right! This kind of thieves and bandits must be punished according to the law, so as not to fall into the majesty of the court. In my opinion, we should immediately gather troops and go out to exterminate these bandits. .”
"Don't be in a hurry, Pang Shumi. This matter of troop deployment must be done, and it is not up to us to decide."
Wang Jing quickly spoke to appease him.
Afterwards, he looked around at the crowd and murmured:
"Everyone, I understand that this Chen Feng cannot be recruited, and must be wiped out. It's just that the court soldiers and horses must not move without authorization. Maybe the recruited Tianwangzhai can go to deal with this person?"
Qin Song thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "The northern land is far away from Huyang, and the distance cannot be used to relieve the nearby fire, and Tianwangzhai's priority is to deal with the bandits in the northern land, so it is difficult to get out of it for the time being. The old minister has a plan."
"Please speak."
Qin Song said with a smile: "This plan is actually simple. There are many water bandits in Huyang. Besides Chen Feng, there are two other big bandits, each with tens of thousands of troops under their command. It is better to recruit these two and let them deal with Chen Feng." At the same time, the states of Huyang can send troops to join forces at their own discretion to wipe out this person in one fell swoop. Compared with the imperial government's single-handed suppression of bandits, this method can save a lot of expenses, which is exactly what the Holy One wants to save money."
Wang Jing thought about it, thought it was good, nodded and said:
"Then let's do this first, and wait until I go to tell the emperor. If the emperor has an order, then act according to the order."
Seeing this, Pang Hong's face was not very good-looking, he glared at Qin Song, secretly resented, and retreated helplessly into the class.
Only by sending troops can there be military merits and rewards, but Qin Song's family is Zhenglong, who can always scratch the emperor's itch, and repeatedly obstruct him from sending troops.
The two have different political views and different interests, and they have never confronted each other.
Seeing thieves recruited for safety every time, Pang Hong feels distressed... In his eyes, these thieves are worthless money.
At this moment, Pang Hong was secretly annoyed, and couldn't help but pray in reverse in his heart:
"This Chen Feng shouldn't be wiped out so easily, it's better to grow bigger and bigger, and become a serious problem for the court, so that I can be useful..."
…
Huyang, Cangshui Village.
Many leaders gathered in the hall, and the head of the village, Tan Peng, was sitting in the main seat, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the people who came to visit him.
"Are you a messenger on behalf of the imperial court?"
Tan Peng narrowed his eyes and spoke in an inexplicable tone.
He is one of the three dragons in Huyang, nicknamed "Bronze-headed Dragon King". He has a burly figure and a shiny bald head.
"I have met the head of Tanzhai, and I am the secret guard of the patrolling military division. I have a waist badge to prove it."
The person who came to visit spoke, took out a token, and showed it to everyone.
This person is well dressed and looks like a Jianghu person, but he is actually an official.
The Military Patrol Division is a special organization with a low rank. It is responsible for monitoring the Jianghu for the imperial court. It mainly acts as an intelligence officer. On weekdays, it pretends to be a Jianghu guest. It is generally responsible for secretly contacting some Jianghu and green forest heroes for the imperial court to pass on news.
Tan Peng glanced at the patrolling commander's card, and asked casually: "We are the imperial court's most important offenders. I don't know why you came here?"
"I don't know if Zhaizhu Tan is willing to serve the court? The court intends to recruit security and award rewards, forgive crimes, and return you to a clean body."
The secret guard of the inspecting military division has been in the rivers and lakes all year round. He knows that the people in the green forest are impatient, and he directly stated his intentions without beating around the bush.
"The imperial court wants to recruit me?" Tan Peng rubbed his bald head and sneered, "There must be conditions!"
"That's right, the imperial court needs you to put down Chen Feng's group. If you agree, you can recruit them."
"Hmph, how difficult is Chen Feng to deal with? It's unreasonable for the imperial court to want me to sacrifice my life for a mere recruiting name. Come up with some practical benefits, otherwise the discussion will stop. Anyway, I'm squatting here at Yueshan Lake, you take it I have nothing to do, I don't need to look at your court's face."
Tan Peng snorted.
Secret Guard of the Patrol Division said in a deep voice:
"This Chen Feng has always been domineering. He settled in Huyang by himself. His rapid rise is rare in the world. He is a great threat to the village master Tan. If you are recruited, the imperial court will join hands with you to destroy this person and go for the village master. This is a heart problem. In addition, the village master Tan and all the brothers in the village can be appointed officials by the imperial court, among other things, it is easy for the village master to be a soldier and horse, and he is in charge of the soldiers of several states in Huyang."
The faces of the leaders changed, and many people were a little moved.
Tan Peng is noncommittal: "Ladies, you are free and easy. Why do you need to be appointed by the court to see the faces of those dog officials? But this Chen Feng is indeed a threat, and I don't mind getting rid of him."
"I don't know what the village master Tan wants?"
Tan Peng grinned and said: "Zhaoan, I'm not interested, I just want to get rid of me with just a few official titles. It's a good idea! I want money, armor, and food, so let's treat it as a business. Your court also Don't try to use us as a swordsman, I will follow up and send troops only when I see you sending troops to suppress Chen Feng."
"This... I can't decide."
"I know you can't be the master, go back and ask your master. Anyway, I have these conditions. If you agree, we can talk about it, or get out."
Tan Peng patted his bald head with a ferocious smile.
The secret guard of the Martial Inspection Division had an uncertain expression on his face, and retreated with fists in his hands.
Seeing that the person left, Tan Peng gave a cold snort and said:
"Recruit for security, recruit Niao'an, when I dominate the Huyang green forest, I will be the first to attack your state capital and occupy the mountain as king!"
All the leaders exchanged glances, their gazes were subtle.
At the same time, a similar scene was also staged in another Jiao's cottage.
It's just that the end result is not the same.
…
The sun rises and the moon sets, winter goes and spring comes.
In the twelfth year of Xinghe, spring begins.
After a winter of rectification, Zhou Jing's recruiting team has stabilized a lot, and he has been recognized as the new boss~IndoMTL.com~ He is not stingy with all kinds of martial arts cheats, without setting thresholds, from the leader to the minions , He practiced whenever he wanted, and this move made his position in the cottage much more stable.
This behavior also caused a chain effect... The poor people in the surrounding villages and counties all learned that the cottage taught martial arts for free. .
At the same time, because of his own fame, there are also many famous green forest masters who come to join him. Now his leaders have more faces, but the real talents are still limited.
On the other hand, because of the rumors of the martial arts conference, now Huyang is full of people from all over the world, especially the county town near Yunxia Mountain, where the inns are full and crowded with people.
As the date of the battle on March 18 is getting closer, the world is full of wind and clouds, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more restless.
Teams from all walks of life arrived at Yunxia Mountain after a long journey.
