The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 112 The Returning Big Brother
In the Sword Qi Hall, the main hall of the Changkong Sword Sect, the top leaders of the sect gathered together. Li Mu was listening to Ruan Xiong's account of what happened in the Great Song Wulin during his trip to Dali.

They returned to Liangshan yesterday evening, he did not disclose the identities of Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, he only said that they were new personal disciples of himself and Ruan Xingzhu.

Only Ruan Xingzhu knows Duan Yu's true identity, and she doesn't plan to reveal it to avoid complications.

Before returning to Liangshan, Mu Wanqing pulled up the woman's hairstyle, so Li Mu arranged for them to live together, which didn't cause Ruan Xiong and others to murmur, thinking that this was a young couple.

Last night Li Mu roughly talked about the process of his trip to Dali.

Ruan Xiong and the others didn't care too much. For them, the biggest gain of Li Mu's trip to Dali this time was that his obsessions were gone and his martial arts could be refined.

Now they really look down on a small Dali country, the status of the emperor's relatives and relatives.

To put it bluntly, if they have that kind of thinking, they are fully capable of pulling up a team that can overthrow the Song Dynasty and establish a Central Plains dynasty by themselves.

It's just that it's not necessary, it's fine now, you are respected everywhere you go, and you live the life of the rich and powerful.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?Why bother to work hard.

"Recently, what happened in the martial arts in the Central Plains is basically these. The day before yesterday, I received a letter from A Zhu's Feige. They have passed Xuzhou, and they will return to Liangshan in a few days."

Li Mu nodded slowly, and said: "These Xixia people really have healed their scars and forgot the pain. The battle of Yongle City has been less than ten years old, and they dare to come to my Central Plains again."

Ruan Xingzhu's cousin Xu Renjie said: "Master, in my opinion, when Chao Gai and the others come back from Tubo this time, let's join forces with the Song army to destroy Xixia."

Xu Renjie called Li Mu's brother-in-law in private, but in formal occasions, even the grandfather Xu, the old boxer, had to be called the master.

Li Mu sighed and said, "Why don't I want to destroy the Xixia and Liao kingdoms, and let the Song Dynasty rule the world and rule the world."

"But the official family is just a puppet now. The Empress Dowager is in power in the Song Dynasty. Just by watching her restore the old law and denigrate the new party, you can see what role she is."

"The Empress Dowager is more than conservative, but not aggressive. She is a firm peacemaker. It is basically impossible for her to order troops to fight."

"If we only rely on the strength of our faction, how can we destroy Xixia?"

"It's a pity that Emperor Shenzong left too early. If he lives another ten years, my Changkong Sword Sect will help him destroy the Liao Kingdom in Pingxixia and expand the territory, so what's the difficulty?"

Everyone present sighed endlessly, so it is unreliable to say that the harem listens to politics behind a curtain. After all, there are not so many Wu Zetians in the world.

The old boxer Xu, who was over seventy years old but still in good spirits, said, "Anyway, master, you should go to Bianjing sometime!"

"Whether it will be successful or not is one thing, but at least we have to show our attitude. After all, this is a great achievement for the country. What if the Empress Dowager agrees?"

In the entire Song Dynasty, Li Mu was the only person in the world who was allowed to enter the palace to meet him. This was the privilege given to him by Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu.

At the beginning, it was sent along with the plaque of "The Great Hero, Serving the Country and the People", and there is also an imperial gold medal that can be walked in the palace.

It's just that Li Mu went to the palace to see him once to thank Shenzong for his gift, and never went there again.

This is also the reason why the Great Song Chaotang is very relieved of him.

Li Muruo said thoughtfully: "Grandpa's words are very true. The official is now 16 years old, and it's time to be in power."

"Building a good relationship with the officials in advance is also the cornerstone of the sect's inheritance for generations to come."

"It's just right, when my great disciple of Kaishan arrives, I will take him to the Central Plains to check his life experience, and when he passes by Bianjing, let's meet the Empress Dowager!"

Ruan Xiong said with a smile: "Since you are going west anyway, then you should go further west along the way!"

Li Mu asked in puzzlement, "What does father-in-law mean?"

Ruan Xiong said beamingly: "Baiming sent a message a few days ago that he is going to get married."

Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu were all happy when they heard the words, "Good news! Which girl did he marry?"

Ruan Xiong said: "She is the daughter of Chong Pu, governor of Changzhou and magistrate of Hezhou, and now Baiming is the regimental envoy of his territory."

Li Mu asked, "What time is it?"

Ruan Xiong said: "There are still more than three months. The date is July 22. It will take more than half a month to arrive in Hezhou from here. We plan to leave in early July and arrive a little earlier."

Li Mu said happily: "Okay, Baiming is married, we as sisters and husbands naturally have to congratulate, and then we will go directly from the Central Plains."

"Hezhou is close to Xixia. After attending Baiming's wedding, I took my eldest apprentice to Xixia."

Ruan Xiong laughed and said, "Li Juxia and Bei Qiaofeng went to Xixia together, and the king of Xixia might not be able to sleep."

Xu Shiying said with a smile: "The most wonderful thing is that this time Xixia Yipintang came to Zhongyuan, and Azhu and the others wiped them out. I am afraid that there are no experts in Xixia now."

Li Mu waved his hands and said, "Uncle, you underestimate Xixia. The real masters of Xixia are basically concentrated in the palace, and Yipintang is nothing at all."

"Especially the Empress Dowager Xixia, she is a peerless master who has never been born in the world. She has a great relationship with Zhumei and is also a major obstacle to the destruction of Xixia. This time I will go to meet her."

"Oh?"

Everyone was interested, Ruan Xingzhu asked curiously: "What is the origin of the Empress Dowager Xixia?"

Li Mu smiled at her, "Her name is Li Qiushui."

Ruan Xingzhu's expression was concentrating, and he said: "Is that the flirtatious woman who conspired with Ding Chunqiu to murder my master?"

Li Mu nodded and added: "Not surprisingly, Jiumozhi should also be one of her faces, otherwise where did he learn his little formless kung fu?"

Ruan Xingzhu sneered and said, "That's really great. I didn't know her whereabouts before. This time, I must avenge my master."

After she absorbed Jiumozhi's gong power, she had accumulated it in her body for more than a hundred years, and her gong power far surpassed that of Li Qiushui.

But Li Mu is still not very optimistic about whether she can beat Li Qiushui.

Because Li Qiushui's skill was cultivated by himself, while Ruan Xingzhu's skill was absorbed.

Although the quantity is much higher than that of Li Qiushui, the quality is far inferior.

But it's not a big problem, isn't it because he and Qiao Feng are still there!
Speaking of which, although Qiao Feng only has 20 years of skill accumulation, his natural supernatural power is also part of his combat power.

If you really want to face Li Qiushui, Qiao Feng in the original plot is probably not an opponent, but the current Qiao Feng may not be invincible.

……

Three days later, Ah Zhu and his party returned to the sect.

After 16 years, seeing Master and Mistress again, Qiao Feng couldn't help blushing.

"Disciple Qiao Feng, pay homage to master and wife."

Li Mu stepped forward to support Qiao Feng, patted his arms heavily, and said softly, "You have done very well these years, and you have not disappointed my teacher."

After saying this, he turned to A'Zhu and said, "A'Zhu, call all inner and outer disciples to gather at the outer square."

"Yes."

Seven melodious bells rang, and the Changkong disciples who heard the bells, regardless of the inner or outer gates, immediately gathered and rushed to the outer gate square.

The Sky Sword Sect adopts a semi-military management, and the sound of the bell is equivalent to the sound of the army of later generations.

Different times of bells correspond to the hour and have different meanings.

At six quarters Mao in the morning (06:30) and at three quarters Hai in the evening (45:[-]), the bell rings three times, which is a signal to get up and rest.

At the second quarter of Chenshi (07:30) in the morning, at the sixth quarter of noon (12:30), and at the second quarter of Youshi in the afternoon (05:30), the bell rings twice, which is the signal for dinner.

Regardless of the time, the bell rang five times, which was a signal to summon the high-level sect to discuss matters.

Regardless of the time, the bell rang seven times, which was a signal to call the whole faction together.

Regardless of the time, the bell will ring nine times in a hurry, which is a signal of the invasion of foreign enemies.

The Changkong disciples did the same operation, except that there was another bell with a completely different sound on their side, and the disciples and disciples were usually managed separately.

Hearing the bell of the sect, the leadership of the disciples will also be present, and ordinary disciples do not need to be present.

Since the establishment of the Sky Sword Sect, there has never been nine rings, and even seven rings are rare.

When the bell rings seven times, it means that something important has happened in the sect.

After the cup of tea, all the direct disciples, elite disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples, and disciples of all sizes in Liangshan were present.

There are more than a thousand disciples from the inner and outer sects. In addition to the [-] disciples who went to Tubo, there are hundreds of disciples who either traveled around the world or served in the army.

More than [-] people gathered in the square, but there was no noise, which shows the high discipline of the Changkong Sword Sect.

The disciples stood in a neat line, and three colors were clearly displayed on the square.

The outer disciples wear light blue strong clothes, the inner disciples wear dark blue long gowns, and the elite disciples wear blue long gowns, which means that blue comes from blue and is better than blue.

The uniforms of the disciples are gray gowns. There is no uniform standard for the clothes of the direct disciples, and they can wear whatever they want.

Everyone looked at a platform half a foot high and ten feet wide in front of the square.

On the stage, Li Mu stood in the center of the stage, and Qiao Feng stood one behind him and stood beside him.

Ruan Xingzhu, Ruan Xiong, Mrs. Ruan, old boxer Xu, Xu Shiying, Xu Shihao, the two Mrs. Xu, Song Lu, Ye Erniang, Yue Canglong, deacons and elders of various ministries, more than [-] people, stood on the platform.

Li Mu's four daughters and all his direct disciples, including the newcomers Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, all stood in the front row of the audience.

After everyone arrived and the team was assembled, Li Mu's second disciple, Wang Xiaoer, ran to the stage, clasped his fists at Li Mu and said, "Report to Master, all disciples from all departments have arrived."

In private they call Master Li Mu, and in public they call them Shizun.

Li Mu nodded to him and said, "Get in the queue!"

"Yes."

Wang Xiaoer clasped his fists and saluted, and returned to the head of the first row in the queue.

It was the first time Qiao Feng saw the gathering of disciples in the sky, and he was extremely shocked.

As the leader of the largest gang in the world, he naturally understands what discipline means to a power.

Compared with the disciples of the sky, the Beggars' Gang is really a mob. I am afraid that only the regular army of various countries can compare with it.

Li Mu took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the stage, and said loudly: "Everyone, the head of the Japanese summoned you today to tell you something."

"Everyone knows that Wang Xiaoer is my second disciple personally, and above him, there is a big senior brother, who is the big disciple of the head of the sect."

"When I accepted this big disciple, the Sky Sword Sect hadn't been established yet, and I wasn't even married yet."

"I believe that you have been curious about this mysterious elder brother for a long time, and you can get the answer to your curiosity today."

"Because, the great disciple of the sect leader, the founder of the sect, returned to the sect today."

Li Mu turned around, smiled and waved to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng immediately stepped forward and walked to Li Mu's side, more than 2000 pairs of eyes immediately focused on him.

There is curiosity, but there is also scrutiny.

Qiao Feng was already used to such scenes, but he still couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Because he officially returned to the sect, it meant that he had roots, even if he couldn't find where he came from in the future, he would have a place to return to.

Although Li Mu didn't have the loudspeaker equipment of later generations when he spoke, his voice was clearly heard throughout the square.

Even the person standing at the back can hear clearly, and it doesn't feel loud, just like a person standing in front of him and talking normally.

"Everyone, this is the great disciple who is the head of the sect. His name is Qiao Feng. That's right, he is the world-famous leader of the Beggar Gang, Bei Qiaofeng."

Hearing these words, there was an uproar in the originally quiet square.

No one stopped them, because those who were qualified to stop them were equally shocked and excited.

The prestigious North Qiaofeng in the Central Plains martial arts was actually the head disciple of Kaishan, their senior brother, which really surprised them.

Over the years Qiao Feng became the head of the Beggars' Clan, leading the Beggars' Clan to fight against Xixia, defeating many Liao Kingdom's plots against the Song Dynasty, it can be said that it is incomparably in line with the purpose of the Changkong Sword Sect.

And his martial arts is also famous all over the world, and he is recognized as one of the two young masters of the Great Song Dynasty.

They had always admired Qiao Feng, and even thought that he was the second hero under Li Mu.

Now that they know that Qiao Feng is their elder brother, everything is even more natural.

He was originally a disciple taught by the No. [-] Hero of the Song Dynasty, and his achievements were unmatched among the disciples of the Changkong Sword Sect. He was called the Second Hero in the World. Isn't that worthy of the name?
Li Muren let his disciples discuss for a dozen breaths, and after venting his emotions a little, he raised his hand to signal.

The disciples quickly calmed down again, Li Mu smiled at Qiao Feng and said, "Say a few words to your juniors and juniors!"

"Yes." Qiao Feng clasped his fists to Li Mu and bowed, then turned to face the disciples, clasped his fists and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, Qiao Feng is being polite."

"Greetings, senior brother." All the disciples in the audience clasped their fists and shouted loudly, then bowed down in unison.

Qiao Feng's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he waited for the disciples to stand up before continuing: "I have been taught by my master since I was a child, and I have achieved today's success through careful teaching."

"Master's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, but I have been away for many years, and I am deeply ashamed for not being able to serve in front of Master."

"Today when I returned to the sect, I saw that the sect is thriving, and everyone is a dragon and a phoenix, so I feel proud in my heart..."

After all, he has been the leader of the gang for many years. Although he has a straightforward personality, his speaking level is not low.

The most important thing is that every sentence he said came from the heart, and he was extremely sincere when he heard it, which easily aroused the sympathy of his disciples.

After some speeches, the disciples who already admired him very much, became more respectful and love this senior brother.

So far, Qiao Feng has truly returned to the sect and fully integrated into the Changkong Sword Sect.

……

After Qiao Feng returned to the Sky Sword Sect, he rested in the sect for half a month. A'Zhu took him around every day to familiarize himself with Liangshan's environment and get to know his brothers and sisters.

Maybe it's really compatible, Duan Yu and Qiao Feng get on very well, even though they are not sworn sworn brothers, they are considered brothers and sisters.

Mu Wanqing got along very well with the four Azhu sisters, after all, in her eyes, they were all her sisters-in-law.

During this period, the two brothers Song Jiang and Song Qing among the personal disciples, Wu Yong and five elite disciples were secretly sent out by Li Mu.

The place they went to was the bitter cold place in the northeast.

Li Mu gave them a secret mission to go to the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchen tribe in the northeast to help them speed up the development process and conquer the Liao Kingdom at the right time.

Then, as the inner ghost, he joined forces with the Changkong Sword Sect and the Song Army to destroy Jurchen.

Of course, they will not use their real names, but will use aliases to mix into the Jurchen tribe.

Li Mu's plan was very simple. The fact that Qiao Feng was from Khitan cannot be concealed and there is no need to conceal it.

There will be a battle between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and Qiao Feng will inevitably be in pain and embarrassment at that time.

So Li Mu sent Song Jiang and Wu to use them to assist the Jurchen to speed up the development process, conquer the Liao Kingdom, and massacre the Khitan people.

At that time, Li Mu will be able to lead people to exterminate Jurchen in the name of asking Qiao Feng to avenge his clan and repay the life-giving debt of his parents.

In this way, the Liao and Jin countries that threatened the Song Dynasty ceased to exist.

It was not Da Song who destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and he had no enmity with Qiao Feng, but his companion who helped him avenge his tribe.

Qiao Feng will completely turn into a Song person, it can be said that he can kill multiple birds with one stroke.

The most wonderful part of this plan is that because Qiao Feng will not go to the bitterly cold Northeast, according to the original plot, Yelu Hongji will fall into the hands of Wanyan Aguda.

At this time, Yelu Hongji's uncle, Yelu Chongyuan, took advantage of Yelu Hongji's absence to launch a rebellion.

Yelu Hongji can be said to have escaped death. In the original plot, Qiao Feng captured Yelu Chongyuan among thousands of troops, and only then did the rebellion be resolved.

But since Qiao Feng will not go to the Northeast again, who can help Yelu Hongji solve the rebellion?
There is no one, so a life of nine deaths will become a life of ten deaths.

Yelu Hongji himself has some talents, but Yelu Chongyuan and his son are complete idiots, and they have no ability to match their ambitions.

In this way, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably decline, and the time for Jurchen to destroy the Liao Kingdom will be greatly advanced.

Li Mu worked hard for this great disciple.

As for the group on the grassland, the group that poses the greatest threat to Song Dynasty, it will take at least more than a hundred years to become a climate.

Naturally, Li Mu doesn't need to worry. After a hundred years, he doesn't know how many reincarnations he has gone through.

Even if he has not yet become a fairy and became an ancestor, his cultivation is probably far beyond the understanding of the natives of this world. At that time, he will become the real ruler of the Song Dynasty.
