The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 119 Chao Gai's Return
When Li Mu and his party arrived in Hezhou with Wang Shunchen, Ruan Xiong, his wife and the Xu family brothers had been there for a few days, and the sect was currently in charge of old boxer Xu and a group of direct disciples.

After Li Mu and his wife arrived, they immediately became the focus of the audience. Ruan Baiming led all the generals of the Western Army and introduced them to Li Mu one by one.

The generals he introduced were basically relatives of the Zhong family.

In addition to Ruan Baiming's father-in-law, Zhong Pu, there were also members of the Zhong Family Army, such as Zhong Gu, Zhong Diao, Zhong Yi, Zhong Shidao, and Zhong Shi Zhong.

In fact, in "History of the Song Dynasty", the Zhong family army is more famous than the Yang family generals, and they have made greater contributions to the country than the Yang family generals.

In the 160-year history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the children of the Zhong family joined the army for five generations, and there were many generals, and dozens of them died in battle.

It not only has the merit of opening up the frontier and expanding the land, but also has the work of guarding the frontier and defending the land, protecting the environment and the people.

It's just that the general of the Yang family stepped onto the stage of the drama, was rendered brilliantly, and was able to pass down his name through the ages.

But Zhong Jiajun just walked into the thread-bound history books and was obliterated by the text, but in the end it was little known.

Coincidentally, Yue Buqun loves to read history, so Li Mu knew them and admired them very much.

At Ruan Baiming's wedding banquet, Li Mu and Zhong Jiajun negotiated a friendly cooperation agreement.

The Zhong family sent a direct descendant to the Changkong Sword Sect to serve as a gun and stick instructor, teaching those disciples of the Changkong who intend to join the army the long weapon martial arts suitable for fighting on the battlefield and riding.

And the Changkong Sword Sect teaches inner martial arts to the disciples of the Zhong family, especially advanced inner strength.

Because of their internal strength, they can be even more powerful on the battlefield, and their combat power and endurance can be greatly increased.

Ruan Baiming's marksmanship was learned from the disciples of the Zhong family after he entered the army, while riding and shooting was taught by Wang Shunchen.

This makes him a fierce general who can lead troops into battle, rather than an assassin who can only walk in the dark.

In return, after obtaining Li Mu's consent, he passed on the inner strength of the outer sect, that is, the inner strength of Huashan, to Zhong Pu, Chong Danhong's father and daughter, and Wang Shunchen.

It is precisely because they feel the great benefits brought by internal strength that they are so interested in launching this cooperation with Li Mu.

This cooperation is also of great benefit to Li Mu. Who knows if he will reincarnate in the future, such as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty?

Swordsmanship and unarmed martial arts are not suitable for fighting in battle. It is also a stupid behavior to sway sword energy and sword light wantonly among thousands of troops.

No matter how deep the inner strength is, how much can it withstand squandering in the sea of ​​people?Li Chungang, the land god, only broke two thousand and six armors.

Xu Fengnian, who was in the first-rank diamond realm, faced [-] iron cavalry in Dunhuang City, but he could only break [-] of them. If the remaining [-] cavalry hadn't collapsed by himself, Xu Fengnian would have no choice but to die.

With Li Mu's current skill, if there is a battle in the rivers and lakes, he can kill hundreds of low-level warriors without any problem.

But that can only be achieved by relying on exquisite bodywork and footwork when there is enough room to move around.

Breaking through a hundred armors in battle is almost the limit, and he must have exhausted his internal strength.

Because fighting in battle formations is not the same concept as martial arts in rivers and lakes. There are so many people on the battlefield that there is no room for you to give full play to your advantages in bodywork and footwork. You can only be tough.

Moreover, the sergeants are all wearing armor, and the internal energy consumed when killing them is much greater than killing a commoner warrior with no protection.

Therefore, if you want to become an invincible general like Chu Bawang and Lu Fengxian, it is also necessary to master some combat skills.

Otherwise, he can only be a super assassin who can assassinate the enemy's general in battle, but cannot be a general who leads troops into battle.

……

After staying in Hezhou for more than half a month, Li Mu and Ruan Xiong set off for the east, accompanied by Zhongxi, the second son of Zhongshi Dao, and several Zhongjia disciples.

They not only went to the Changkong Sword Sect to "study", but also served as instructors, teaching battle martial arts and the art of war.

When Kankan entered September, when everyone returned to Liangshan, Li Mu immediately ordered those disciples who wanted to join the army to sign up to form "Junmen" disciples individually, and learn from Zhongxi and others.

In the end, more than [-] disciples signed up, and these people will be the foundation for Li Mu to control the Song army in the future.

In addition to the generals of the Yang family and the army of the Zhong family, the Song Dynasty is destined to have another "Long Air Force".

Li Mu performed the soul-shifting method repeatedly on military disciples. No matter how much they achieved in the future, Li Mu would always be the number one in their hearts.

The Sky Sword Sect will be ranked second, and the Song court and royal family will have to go to the back row.

When Li Mu and Zongmen are not involved, they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Once there is a conflict between the imperial court and Li Mu, and they need to choose sides, they will choose Li Mu without hesitation.

After Li Mu and his party returned to the sect, besides Zhu Tong Lei Heng, there was another follower behind AhZi, You TanZhi.

This guy's comprehension is really extraordinary. In just a few months, after practicing the Yi Jin Bone Forging Chapter, his aptitude has been greatly improved, and his internal strength has also been cultivated.

All kinds of martial arts moves are very quick to learn, and within ten years, the Changkong Sword Sect will get another top master.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Mu had already mastered the marksmanship of Zhongjia, and his ability to ride and shoot was as good as Wang Shunchen's.

Just as the time for the Shaolin Heroes Conference was approaching, Chao Gai returned to the sect with his disciples who had gone to Tubo.

There were 800 people when they went there, and only over [-] people when they came back. More than [-] inner disciples and more than [-] elite disciples stayed on the plateau land forever.

But their contributions are enormous, ranging from the Tubo king and his blood, down to the lords of various tribes, and thousands of upper-class people died in the assassination.

The situation that Tubo had managed to unify with great difficulty fell apart again, and a hundred years of work was wasted, and it was even more chaotic than before.

Not to mention 50 years, if they can be reunited in a hundred years, it will be regarded as the blessing of the Buddha.

Most of the sacrificed disciples died in the hands of masters of the Nyingma sect and Vajra sect of the Esoteric Buddhism, and only a small number died in the encirclement and suppression of the Tibetan tribes.

But the masters of these two factions were almost wiped out by Chao Gai and others. Against the top two factions of masters, they are certainly not opponents fighting alone.

But the most frightening thing about the Sky Sword Sect is that all the disciples are first-class masters, even if there is a distinction between seniors and brothers, the gap is not that big.

As for masters like them in other sects, having a dozen of them is already very remarkable.

All the elite disciples of Changkong can fight against the six elders of the beggar gang, but there are only six elders in the beggar gang.

Under the siege of hundreds of first-class masters, even Jiumozhi, the number one master in Tubo, can't last long before he will be enraged.

Jiumozhi's Dalun Temple was let off by Chao Gai according to Li Mu's wishes.

They just took away the unique flame knife of the town school, and did not slaughter the monks in the temple.

The Vajra Sect was tragically destroyed, and the Dharma-protecting magical skill "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu" fell into the hands of Chao Gai.

So far, the Sky Sword Sect has two more magical skills.

The flame knife is naturally an inner martial art, but the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu is regarded as an apprentice martial art by Li Mu.

Because this kind of kung fu doesn't require a lot of qualifications, it mainly depends on time to accumulate, even a fool can practice it.

Although the cultivation speed is faster with good aptitude, disciples with good aptitude have already been selected into the outer sect and inner sect. It is estimated that there are very few disciples who can practice Dragon Elephant Wisdom to the fifth level.

Of course Li Mu can practice this technique, first of all he is not a fool, even if Yue Buqun and Duan Yanqing's aptitude is not counted, his own aptitude is not bad.

Secondly, he has a lot of time. If he has been reincarnated, not to mention thousands of years, he can have it for ten thousand years. This technique will definitely reach the highest thirteenth level.

In the end, this technique mainly cultivates the physical body. After reaching the thirteenth level, his physical body may have to have a huge strength of ten thousand catties.

Since it is the power of the physical body, it is not limited by internal force. Even if the internal force is exhausted, each punch still has ten thousand catties of strength. If this punch hits someone, how far will it fly?
Maybe there is no chance to fly out, and there is a high probability that it will cause the phenomenon of "Li Wang", directly punching people through.

Instead of using internal energy to fight, only using internal energy to maintain physical strength can make his endurance reach the extreme.

At that time, let alone the enemy of ten thousand people, he would dare to be tough even in the face of 10 people.

……

As Laba approached, Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu arrived in Dengfeng on the seventh day with Xiao Feng, A'Zhu, A'Zi and dozens of elite disciples.

After more than half a year of fermentation, the fact that the Sky Sword Sect and the Shaolin Temple jointly held the Heroes Conference has already spread widely in the world, and many people from the martial arts world have already arrived at this time.

Li Mu and his party went up to Shaoshi Mountain first, because they had business to do today, so they didn't bother Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.

Xuanci had already left enough room for the Changkong Sword Sect, the group rested in the temple for one night, and the next morning, together with all the eminent monks from Shaolin, they went to the main hall to welcome the heroes of the Central Plains.

Now many things have been changed, even the Hero Conference has been moved forward two years, so the development of things is naturally completely different from the original plot.

No one from Qingliang Temple Shenshan went to Shaolin to make trouble because of Xu Chongxiao's death.

There is also no Jiumozhi imitating 72 stunts with his small non-phase skills, and pretending to be a force in Shaolin.

Not to mention Ding Chunqiu leading Xingxiu to send a group of monsters and clowns to Shaolin to show off their might.

The Four Great Evil Ones and You Tanzhi, whose pseudonym is Zhuang Juxian, were also missing to spoil the situation.

The hero meeting was very peaceful. Heroes from all walks of life arrived one after another. They gathered in the square in front of the Daxiong Palace, waiting for the arrival of Gusu Murong.

It wasn't until the members of the beggar gang arrived that it caused a little disturbance.

"I'll meet Li Juxia and pay my respects to the leader."

Members of the Beggar Clan arrived at the square in front of the Dedian Hall, saw Li Mu and Xiao Feng, and the disciples of the Beggar Clan headed by Song Qingxi, Wu Changfeng and Xi Shanhe rushed forward and bowed to them.

Li Mu returned the courtesy and said, "You don't need to be too polite, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Xiao Feng clasped his fists and said: "Brothers, are you all well?"

Wu Changfeng shouted excitedly: "It's not good, it's not good at all. How can the beggars' gang without a leader be good?"

Song Qingxi sighed: "The leader of the gang doesn't know something. Since you left the Beggars' Sect, Quan Guanqing and Chen Guyan have recruited a group of people in the gang, and they have created antagonism with other people who support the leader of the gang."

"Elder Bai and Elder Lu do not help each other and remain neutral. Now the beggar gang is showing a three-legged confrontation. The situation is imminent. The huge beggar gang is about to fall apart."

Xiao Feng was startled and angry when he heard this, he said angrily: "How dare Quan Guanqing and Elder Chen do this? Could it be that they really disregarded the hundreds of years of foundation of the Beggar Gang and are willing to be eternal sinners who split the Beggar Gang?"

Wu Changfeng also said angrily: "Now that the gang leader is not in the gang, no one can convince the crowd. Why don't they dare?"

"When they buy enough people, I'm afraid they will attack some of us stubborn."

"As long as we get rid of us, who else can stop them from controlling the beggar gang and stealing the position of gang leader?"

Xi Shanhe looked at Xiao Feng expectantly, and said: "Clan Master, when will you return to the Beggars' Clan?"

"As long as you come back, Elder Bai and Elder Lu will return to their hearts immediately. Forgive Quan Guanqing and Chen Guyan, what kind of disturbances can they cause?"

"This..." Xiao Feng naturally knew in his heart that Lu Zhang and Bai Shijing were the elders of the Beggar Clan's teaching and law enforcement respectively, they would not favor any side, they would only be responsible to the Clan leader.

Besides, Bai Shijing and him have been close friends for many years. If he returns to the Beggars' Gang, Bai Shijing will undoubtedly return, but...but he is a Khitan after all, so how can he be in charge of the Beggars' Gang again?

How should he deal with the situation where the beggar gang and the Liao kingdom are facing each other?
Seeing Xiao Feng's hesitation, Song Qingxi persuaded earnestly: "Clan leader, you said that Quan Guanqing and the others are willing to be the eternal sinners who split the Beggar Clan, how can they have that kind of weight?"

"If the gang leader really let the beggar gang go, the real sinner who caused the split of the beggar gang is none other than you, the gang leader!"

Xiao Feng was shocked all over, obviously this sentence hit his heart, because these words are not nonsense, they are indeed reasonable.

Seeing his struggling face, A'Zhu beside Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and said to Song Qingxi dissatisfied: "Elder Song don't want to put on a hat indiscriminately, what does this have to do with my senior brother?"

"My elder brother did a good job as a gang leader before, who insisted on making a fuss about his life experience and driving him away with trumped-up charges?"

"Now you come to suppress him with righteousness, how can you do this?"

Wu Changfeng slapped his thigh, and said anxiously: "Miss Ah Zhu, that's not what you said! Isn't this the work of Quan Guanqing and his gang? Why have I ever cared about the background of the gang leader?"

Xiao Feng suddenly said: "Three elders, these days I have found out my background, I am undoubtedly a Khitan, so, do you still want me to be the leader?"

The three elders froze for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses, Song Qingxi said solemnly: "I still say the same thing, no matter if the leader is Han or Khitan, you are all Song."

"Since you are from the Song Dynasty, why not be the leader of my Da Song gang?"

Wu Changfeng said: "That's right, my old Wu also has the same attitude."

Xi Shanhe said: "Even they can become Song people, so why not Khitan people?"

They in the mouth of Xishan River refer to the Jews of this era.

Due to the failure of the uprising against the rule of the Roman Empire, the Jews began to wander around the world, and some of them passed through the Great Food Kingdom and came to the Great Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Zhenzong, a group of Jews arrived in Bianliang and presented Western cloth to Zhenzong. Zhenzong was very happy, and issued an edict to allow these Jews to "belong to me, abide by the ancestral tradition, and leave Bianliang as a legacy."

From then on, the Jews were able to settle down in Da Song and became Song people, because they often wore a small blue cap.

The attitude of Xi Shanhe and the others is very clear, even those aliens who look completely different from them can become Song people, so why not Khitan people who look the same as them?

Xiao Feng looked at Li Mu beside him, and said: "Master, look..."

Li Mu said solemnly: "The Beggar Clan is of great significance to my Great Song Dynasty, and it must not be disintegrated just like this. The position of Clan Leader is very important, so we really can't be careless."

"Since the three elders sincerely invite you, it's not easy for you to refuse. As long as you stick to the words 'for the country and the people', it's the same whether you're in the Sky Sword Sect or the Beggars' Clan."

"The big event in the spring of next year will still require the efforts of the Beggars' Sect. It's the right time for you to return to the Beggars' Sect and integrate the forces of the Beggars' Sect."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Xiao Feng bowed and said, "Disciple remember Master's teachings."

After speaking, he said to the three elders: "In this case, after the hero meeting is over, I will go back with you to rectify the beggar gang."

The three elders and the hundreds of Beggar Clan disciples behind them were all overjoyed, and they all bowed deeply to Li Mu.

Li Mu said to Xiao Feng: "Feng'er, I know a lot about Quan Guanqing, a scholar from the ten directions, as a teacher, this man is scheming, and his intentions are not right."

"Revealing your life experience, I'm afraid there are other secrets, you might as well dig deeper and investigate."

"Yes, the disciple will definitely investigate." Xiao Feng frowned slightly, since the master said so, it must not be aimless.

Back then in Xingzilin, he had already felt that every word Quan Guanqing said had a strong purpose.

He was in the game at the time, so he couldn't think of that much for a while, but in retrospect, there was indeed something wrong with this person, and it seemed that he and Mrs. Ma had a tacit understanding.

While speaking, Duan Zhengchun of Dali arrived with the four great officials, Xuan Ci took the initiative to greet him, Li Mu also followed after seeing this.

They had already agreed in Dali that when they met in the Central Plains, Duan Zhengchun would not reveal his details, so Zhengchun still called him "Li Juxia" during this time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Duan Zhengchun looked behind him and asked, "Li Juxia, aren't Yu'er and Wan'er here?"

Li Mudao: "Not long after they joined my sect, they all stayed in Liangshan to devote themselves to studying and practicing martial arts, and they didn't come out to wander around. If Prince Duan misses his children, he might as well go visit him after the incident."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "That's not necessary, they are being taught under Li Juxia, Duan is very relieved, it's better not to disturb them."

Hearing the conversation between Li Mu and Duan Zhengchun, Xuan Ci murmured inwardly, even Dali's heir and princess have joined the Changkong Sword Sect?

The sky sword sect's hands and eyes are more and more open to the sky. I really don't know whether it is good or bad for the Central Plains martial arts.

Not long after Duan Zhengchun and his party arrived, a confidant monk came to report that Gusu Nan Murong had arrived.

Xuanci and Li Mu exchanged glances, and they both looked towards the direction of the gate.

After a while, Murong Fu and the four great generals were led into the square by a monk, but Wang Yuyan was not there, probably she was restrained at home by Mrs. Wang.

Thousands of martial arts heroes from the Central Plains in the square, seeing the Lord coming, stopped talking one after another, made way for a group of five people to go to the front of the hall.

Murong Fu looked to be 28 or [-] years old, dressed in a light yellow shirt, with a long sword hanging from his waist, with a handsome face, unrestrained and elegant.

Behind him Deng Baichuan, Gongyegan, Bao Budong, and Feng Bo'e followed, each with their own attitudes.

Deng Baichuan is calm, Gongye is bold and bold, Bao Tongtong is arrogant, and the turmoil is vicious and wild.

The five people walked to the front of the main hall and stood two feet away from Li Mu and Xuan Ci who were standing side by side.

Murong Fu clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Gusu Murong Fu, I have seen Li Juxia and Master Xuanci."

"Amitabha."

Xuan Ci proclaimed the Buddha's name, while Li Mu clasped his fists.

After seeing the ceremony, Murong Fu took the initiative to say: "This time, the Changkong Sword Sect and Shaolin Temple jointly initiated the Heroes Conference. I want to come here to tell the story of many martial arts heroes who died because of their famous stunts. I dare not not come."

"I want to clarify in front of the heroes from all walks of life that these matters have absolutely nothing to do with my Gusu Murong family."

"Seniors, if you have any questions to ask, please feel free to ask, Murong Fu will definitely know everything and say everything."
