Chapter 49

As time goes by, six years have passed in a hurry. In the Jianghu, the form is more and more treacherous. On the contrary, the Wudang Mountain is still as clean and peaceful as ever.

"Report! Tell immortal Zhang Jiao that Shaolin emissaries worship the mountain and ask for an audience."

On this day, I heard a report from the mountain guarding disciple that Shaolin people came to Wudang to worship the mountain.

Song Yuanqiao also wondered about this. Why did those Shaolin monks come to Wudang Mountain?

But after all, people came and song Yuanqiao couldn't disappear, so he sent mountain guarding disciples to welcome people into Zhenwu hall.

"Great Xia song, little monk Shaolin Huizhen, on the order of Master Kong Zhi of our temple, has come to Wudang to report something important to great Xia song... This is Master Kong Zhi's personal letter. Please have a look at it."

Song Yuanqiao took the letter from the Shaolin monk and tore open the envelope. His face suddenly became strange.

The content of this letter is not much, except for those non nutritious polite words, its core is a little.

——Shaolin Temple doesn't know what it thinks. Unexpectedly, it has a whim to attack Mingjiao. The purpose of sending this letter is to invite them to join Wudang and encircle and suppress Mingjiao together.

If it were a few years ago, song Yuanqiao probably wouldn't find it strange. After all, there are a lot of hatred between the major factions and the Ming religion, and it is the right way to encircle and suppress the evil way

But now He's going to think about it a few layers deeper.

Six years ago, Lu Zhi brought back to Wudang the news about the yuan court's conspiracy against them in the Wulin of the Central Plains. Wudang already knew where the deep hatred among all factions in the Jianghu came from.

Especially the open anti yuan forces like Mingjiao, I don't know how many hats the imperial court secretly put on him.

Although there are really few good people in Mingjiao, without the calculation of the imperial court, they will not end up being beaten by everyone in the Jianghu.

So in recent years, they have never been idle in Wudang.

First of all, it was a thorough clearance of the spy on their side of the Wudang Mountain Gate. In the past few years, they had been secretly investigating the movements of the rivers and lakes and Yuan ting.

In addition, Lu Zhi sends out several news and inferences from time to time. They already know the general plan of the imperial court for their Wulin.

This time, Shaolin tried to contact the major factions of Wulin to encircle and suppress the bright top of the Ming religion. I'm afraid there is also a yuan court behind it.

After all, nowadays, there are wars all over the world, and anti yuan forces emerge one after another, and the largest anti yuan force is the rebel army of the Ming religion.

I also heard that during this period, the yuan army had many defeats in the war on the front line It seems that the yuan court can't sit still. It is ready to contact the Wulin people in the Central Plains with the help of Shaolin to deal with the high-level people on the top of Mingjiao Guangming.

I just don't know whether Shaolin was used by the yuan court this time, or whether he had already noticed something, but was willing to cooperate with the yuan court

After all, when Shaolin people took the lead in inviting people from all factions to Mount Wudang to make trouble, song Yuanqiao now thinks more and more that something is wrong. In addition, this time, Shaolin came forward and invited all major factions to encircle and suppress the bright top of Ming religion. It's not normal.

Although song Yuanqiao has learned from Lu Zhi the existence of Cheng Kun, a member of the yuan court who entered Shaolin, how can the magnificent Shaolin Temple be easily played by a small Cheng Kun?

Twice! Based on his understanding of those Shaolin monks, they are not so stupid. On the contrary, no one can be smarter than those monks!

Song Yuanqiao raised his hand and gently lit the letter paper in his hand. After a little meditation, he said, "I already know this matter, but it's a big matter. I have to discuss it within Wudang before I can make a decision."

"After that, I will write a letter to your temple."

"The little monk won't stay long. I'm leaving now. I hope great Xia song can respond as soon as possible."

Song Yuanqiao nodded and ordered the disciples on duty outside the hall: "come and send the master down the mountain."

After seeing off the monks of Shaolin Temple, song Yuanqiao soon found Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu and others to discuss the matter with Zhang Sanfeng.

But Lu Zhi is not in the mountains at the moment and doesn't know about it. Otherwise, he is too familiar with the "six factions besieging Guangming summit".

Song Yuanqiao and others found Zhang Sanfeng and discussed the Shaolin's joint encirclement and suppression of the Ming religion.

Zhang Songxi said, "as I say, Wudang should ignore this."

"This is obviously the imperial court's plan to kill people with a knife. The imperial army is now fighting with the rebels of the Ming religion. The imperial court can't defeat the Ming religion in terms of military affairs, so it came up with the idea to let us Jianghu people compete with the Ming religion."

"Once we people in the Wulin in the Central Plains go to war with the Ming religion, we will be defeated by both sides. Even if all our factions can destroy the Guangming top, we in the Wulin in the Central Plains will certainly suffer heavy losses and lose our vitality afterwards."

"At that time, the imperial court will not only be able to severely damage the Ming religion, but may also have a play of Mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, which will attack our Wulin in the Central Plains."

Zhang Songxi has always been famous for his resourcefulness among the seven heroes of Wudang. He can be said to be the most resourceful of the seven. His analysis directly pointed out the plan of the yuan court.

It is one of the favorite means of the yuan court to stir up trouble in the Wulin, plant and frame up, and maliciously provoke disputes in the Wulin. Even their Wudang has not been less calculated before.

Yu Lianzhou nodded and said, "what the fourth brother said is right. This time it is obviously the imperial court's plan to kill two birds with one stone. We really shouldn't be fooled."

Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng never spoke, song Yuanqiao asked him for instructions and said, "master, how should Wudang respond to this? Otherwise, he would simply disclose the imperial court's plot directly to the major factions in the Wulin. In this way, the imperial court can't achieve whatever calculations it has."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "it's not time yet. Although the imperial court has gradually reached a dilemma, it's still not something that we Wulin people can compete with."

"Moreover, it is still unknown whether there are other backers hidden in the imperial court's calculation. If the conspiracy is exposed rashly, the situation will only be completely out of control."

Yin Litang asked, "then are we really going to fight with Mingjiao as the imperial court wishes?"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "no, this time we besieged the Ming religion, we Wudang only need to promise on the surface, send a small number of people to help the fist, others are hiding behind the scenes, secretly investigating what the court has to do."

"When necessary, we can also come forward to expose the conspiracy of the imperial court, stop the struggle between the major factions and the Ming religion, and turn the tide."

Everyone nodded, and song Yuanqiao said, "master, do you need disciples to send someone to call Qingzhi back?"

A month ago, Lu Zhi was ordered to go down the mountain to kill a flower picking thief who ravaged the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know whether it was the flower picking thief who was hard to find, or what happened on the road. Until now, he hasn't returned to the mountain to reply.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded. "This thing really needs to be informed of the green planting. He has been investigating the royal court and the Royal Palace in Ruyang in recent years. He knows the situation of the court very well, and this is the most appropriate thing for him to do."

A few days later, a young man in blue came to an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River and found Lu Zhi.

"Wuji, why are you here? Is there anything you want to find me on Wudang Mountain?"

The young man who tried to convince him was the adult Zhang Wuji. He was ordered by song Yuanqiao to go down the mountain to find Lu Zhi.

"Elder martial brother Qingzhi, Wuji came to find you on the order of the master. The master asked the elder martial brother to go back to the mountain immediately and have something important to tell you."

Lu Zhi asked subconsciously, "Wuji, do you know what it is? Is there any new conspiracy in the imperial court?"

In recent years, Lu Zhi has always acted in the Jianghu and destroyed many imperial conspiracies.

During this time, the war between Yuan soldiers and local peasant insurgents on the front line became more and more sticky, so Lu Zhicai guessed whether there was any new action on the side of the imperial court.

Zhang Wuji shook his head: "I don't know. Master Bo just asked me to find you and let you go back to the mountain as soon as possible."

Lu Zhi nodded: "if so, I'll go back to the mountain with you."
