The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 351 Three Things

Outside the main hall of Shangshu Mansion, Fu Yuechi and six men with different appearances, but all of them are full of energy and extraordinary momentum are waiting here.

Standing in front of Fu Yuechi among the six was a middle-aged man with a long beard and sharp eyes. He was exactly the Uncle Liu Liu Zhao that Fu Yuechi was talking about.

From his bulging temples, it can be seen that he has achieved internal strength and is not weak in force.

When they saw Fu Tianchou and Fu Qingfeng, they led a group of five people through the Chaoshou verandah, into the courtyard in front of the main hall, and immediately went up a few steps to salute Fu Tianchou, "My lord."

Undoubtedly, they were equally amazed by Hachishaku-sama's size, and then by her beauty.

Just because he was afraid of being too impolite, he immediately looked away after one glance, and looked at Zheng Zha who was walking side by side with Fu Tianchou.

Fu Yuechi ran to his sister and looked at everyone curiously.

Fu Tianchou nodded to Liu Zhao, and then introduced to Zheng Zha: "Mr. Zheng, this is the little girl Yuechi. These are my servants."

He introduced the origins of the names of the six guest ministers one by one. Fu Qingfeng had already introduced them on the way in just now, so there was no need to say anything more at this moment.

Zheng Zha also took advantage of the opportunity to introduce the four of Chu Xuan. For convenience, Master Ba Chi changed his name to Bai Hua.

In terms of identity, Chu Xuan and Lord Bachi are senior brothers and sisters, and Chang Kong Wuji and Zhao Yingkong are senior brothers and sisters.

After exchanging pleasantries between the two parties, Liu Zhao asked Zheng Zha, "Mr. Zheng, as far as I know, the Emei Sect was destroyed more than 400 years ago due to the war between righteousness and evil. I don't know everyone..."

Zheng Zha said: "Although the Emei sect was destroyed, it has not been wiped out. Our branch has traveled overseas and passed on the incense."

Liu Zhao's eyes flashed brightly, and he continued: "It is said that the Emei School's swordsmanship is superb, and Shushan Sword Immortals are famous all over the world. I wonder if I have a chance to see one or two?"

There is no Shushan faction in this world. Shushan is a place name, and Shushan Sword Immortal is a collective name.

All those who practice flying swords on Mount Shu can be called Sword Immortals of Mount Shu, and the Emei Sect is just one of the sects in Mount Shu.

Hearing Liu Zhao's words, Fu Tianchou just stroked his beard and smiled without interjecting, apparently with the intention of taking the school exam.

After all, he can't just come to a few people casually and say that he is some awesome character, so he has to greet him politely, that will only make him a joke.

Sister Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi also looked at Zheng Zha and his party with eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

They have heard countless legends about the sword fairy, flying with the sword, chasing the stars and chasing the moon, traveling to the North Sea, staying in the Cangwu at night, taking people's heads thousands of miles away...

They also wanted to know whether the group of people in front of them matched the legend.

"How difficult is it to learn Emei Sword Art?" Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan and smiled, "Senior Brother Chu, why don't you compete with Brother Liu?"

Liu Zhao also looked at Chu Xuan, with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

Chu Xuan subconsciously raised his hand, only to realize that there were no glasses on the bridge of his nose.

In fact, since he started to practice, his eyes are no longer short-sighted, and his eyesight is not so good.

It is just a habit for him to wear glasses, and it is also a habitual action to hold them up. Now the glasses he wears are all plain glasses.

But this time, in order to pretend to be an ancient man, he has already taken off his glasses.

Although it was said that Chao already had glasses, but a tall sword fairy would still suffer from myopia, which was obviously not convincing, so he simply stopped wearing glasses for the time being.

After Chu Xuan found that his fingers missed his glasses, he scratched the bridge of his nose very calmly, and said, "There is no need for sparring. My Emei sect's sword formulas are used to subdue demons and eliminate demons, so they are not suitable for sparring."

Liu Zhao's eyes were slightly fixed, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Brother Chu, do you look down on me?"

Chu Xuan said calmly: "I don't have that intention."

After speaking, he pointed at the sword, and the Aldelman alloy long sword came out of its sheath with a "clang" from behind.

As his hand formulas changed, the long sword spun around above his head, and then split into dozens of handles, pointing obliquely at Liu Zhao.

"Wow……"

Seeing this scene, Fu Yuechi couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Fu Qingfeng looked up at the dozens of long swords and was also shocked.

"If Brother Liu is determined to learn from each other, then I will ask Brother Liu for some advice, please."

"gollum"

Liu Zhao swallowed secretly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, he said with a sneer: "It seems that the sword art of your school is really not suitable for learning, and you are playing Menglang."

The other five disciples looked at Zheng Zha and the others quite differently, with a sense of awe.

"Hahahaha... Well, well, you are worthy of being the Sword Immortal of Shu Mountain. His skill is really amazing. This old man is an eye-opener today, an eye-opener."

Fu Tianchou let out a hearty laugh, which relieved Liu Zhao's embarrassment.

Chu Xuan saw that the hand formula changed again, and the dozens of long swords merged into one again, turned around again, and inserted it back into the scabbard behind his back by himself.

Fu Tianchou no longer had any doubts about Zheng Zha and his group, he immediately stretched out his hand sideways and said, "Please, please, Qingfengyuechi will serve you tea."

"Yes."

The two sisters responded, bowed to Zheng Zha and the others, then turned and left.

Zheng Zha followed Fu Tianchou into the main hall and sat down on the chair on the left, while Liu Zhao and others took their seats on the right.

Fu Tianchou sat in the main seat, and everyone chatted a few words. After the sisters brought tea and Fu Tianchou invited tea, they did not enter the main topic.

Fu Tianchou said to Zheng Zha: "Young Master Zheng, I don't know if you have come to the humble house this time, what advice do you have?"

Zheng Zha looked solemn, and said: "To tell you the truth, my lord, I have three things to do here, one is to save your life, the other is to help the great Ming Dynasty, and the third is to save the people of the world from suffering."

Fu Tianchou, Liu Zhao and the others immediately stood in awe, and at the same time were secretly delighted.

Hearing what Zheng Zha meant, it was clear that he intended to serve the imperial court and help the imperial court to reorganize the universe. This is the joy of the Ming Dynasty and the joy of the people.

The two sisters who stood beside Fu Tianchou had a different focus from them.

Fu Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Young Master Zheng, you mean someone wants to harm my father?"

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "That's right, and he's someone my lord can't resist."

Hearing this, Fu Tianchou didn't show panic on his face, he just stroked the long beard under his chin, and said calmly: "The one who wants to deal with the old man is the eunuch, right?"

Zheng Zha shook his head and said, "Not only the eunuchs, but the entire imperial court's civil and military officials will deal with you."

Fu Tianchou paused his beard-stroking hand, and said in astonishment: "Why? What kind of evil deed did this old man do to end up here?"

Chu Xuan said calmly: "If your lord really did something evil that angers the heavens and the people complains, it might not be the case."

"However, my lord is a good official, and he carries part of the national destiny of Ming Dynasty, so they want to deal with you."

Fu Tianchou said in confusion: "This old man doesn't understand, can you please explain more clearly."

Zheng Zha said with a serious expression: "My lord, do you know why the Ming Dynasty has been in chaos these years, and the people are struggling to live?"

Fu Tianchou sighed sadly: "The treacherous ministers are in power, corruption prevails, there are factional disputes in the court, the courtiers are against each other, and there are eunuchs who deceive the saints and interfere in politics without authority. How can this world not be chaotic?"

Zheng Zha said: "What your lord said is just the process and result, not the source."

Fu Tianchou's expression changed, he leaned forward slightly, and asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Zheng, what is the source?"

Zheng Zha asked back: "My lord, have you ever heard of the protector of the country?"

Fu Tianchou said hesitantly: "I have heard that he is a virtuous and eminent monk. The emperor trusts this person very much. The emperor will ask for his opinion on all the rituals and rituals in the palace."

Fu Yuechi said bluntly: "Master, do you want to say that the guardian of the country is the source of the chaos in the world?"

Zheng Zha said decisively: "That's right, it's him. The so-called troubled times are approaching, and there must be evildoers. This so-called protector of the country is actually a thousand-year-old centipede practicing Buddhist skills."

"What?" Fu Tianchou got up abruptly, looked at Zheng Zha in disbelief and said, "How is this possible? The capital is where my great luck gathers, and any monsters should stay away."

"If the protector of the country is really a monster, how can he gain a firm foothold in the capital and become the protector of the country?"

"It should be like this in theory, but it's a pity... alas..." Zheng Zha sighed, and said sincerely: "I can see that my lord is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he is not a foolish, loyal and pedantic generation."

"It's not easy for me to tell others about some outrageous things, but now that my lord is Daming's last hope, I must make it clear to you."

No matter what, put on the high hat first, even if he really said something that made him uncomfortable, he wouldn't be upset because of it.

Hearing the words, Fu Tianchou also knew that the matter was of great importance, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, what you said today will come out of your mouth and into our ears, and it will never come out of this door."

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "Originally, although my luck in Daming fluctuated from time to time, it was generally stable."

"But since Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, the luck of the Ming Dynasty has been declining day by day. The root cause of the problem is our emperor."

"Have you ever heard that there was an illiterate emperor in history?"

Fu Tianchou was speechless. It was an iron fact that Zhu Youxiao was uneducated, and there was nothing to wash away.

Due to lack of education, Zhu Youxiao issued imperial decrees and could only make decisions by listening to and reading manuscripts prepared by others.

He is also unwilling to listen to others' orders, and often pretends to understand. A scrap of paper, half a piece of imperial edict, has been altered many times, often making it incomprehensible.

After it was issued, all the courtiers couldn't help but laugh. Fu Tianchou had also received such nonsense edicts before, which caused him a lot of headaches.

Once, after the Jiangxi Fujun suppressed the rebellion, they reported their victory in the chapter. In the memorial, there was a sentence "chasing and chasing the north", which originally meant that they worked hard to quell the rebellion.

The eunuch next to Zhu Youxiao didn't have much ink in his chest. When reading the memorial, he read "chasing the north" as "chasing the north".

When explaining, "chasing and running" is said to be "chasing and fleeing", and "chasing and comparing" is said to be "pursuing stolen goods".

Zhu Youxiao was furious when he heard this, and instead of being rewarded, Jiangxi Fujun was punished by "demotion of salary".

Another year, Fuyu, Ryukyu, and Siam sent envoys to pay tribute, and the envoys handed over memorials written in Chinese.

Zhu You pretended to look at it for a while, and regarded the memorial with the list of tributes as a memorial to negotiate some issues, so he didn't get angry.

Immediately, he threw the memorial to the ground and said, "It doesn't make sense for such a small foreign country."

After saying that, he flung his sleeves and retreated from the court, leaving the envoys and courtiers from all over the world bewildered in the wind in the Golden Luan Hall.

Such cases are too numerous to enumerate. With such an emperor, how can the government not be chaotic?

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, seeing that Fu Tianchou was speechless, he continued: "Except for being ignorant and incompetent, our emperor is proficient in everything."

"Especially the carpentry work, even if Lu Ban saw him, he would have to cry and clamor to accept him as an apprentice."

"Pfft..."

Hearing what he said was funny, Fu Yuechi couldn't help laughing, and Fu Qingfeng also lowered his head to suppress the smile.

Fu Tianchou, Liu Zhao and the others also laughed, but they were all wry smiles.

I only heard Zheng Zha continue: "If he can use the energy of carpentry in government affairs, Daming will never be like this."

"But he indulged in fun and allowed Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs to control the government. How can the government not be chaotic, and how can the country's fortune not decline?"

"Once the luck of the country declines, there will be no deterrence against demons. In addition, the patriarch who protects the country is practicing the authentic Buddhist skills, and he will not be restrained by the golden dragon of luck. In this way, he will naturally be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital."

After listening to Zheng Zha's words, Liu Zhao frowned and said, "Even if that demon becomes the protector of the country, what does the chaos in the world have to do with him?"

Zheng Zha asked back: "Do you know why he wants to protect the country?"

Liu Zhaodao: "I'm about to ask for advice."

Zheng Zha said in a deep voice: "Because he intends to devour the luck of Daming and help himself to become a real dragon, and then occupy the throne and rule the world."

"There is such a thing?" Fu Tianchou and others were shocked, and they finally grasped some of the truth of the matter.

Zheng Zha didn't go around any more, and explained the method of Pudu Cihang swallowing Daming's luck, and finally said: "According to what we know, all the officials in the imperial court of the capital have been swallowed up by him. "

"Now the only luck remaining in Daming lies with the Emperor and Lord Fu. As long as Lord Fu is swallowed up, and then the Emperor is swallowed up, he can take his place and become the Emperor to occupy the court."

"And we came here to protect Mr. Fu from being swallowed by that centipede."

After hearing his words, everyone was shocked, angry and anxious, Fu Yuechi blurted out: "The situation is so critical, you should go and eliminate the centipede spirit, what's the use of protecting my father?"

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "Of course we know, this is what we must do."

"But the centipede spirit has attracted two other big devils. With our current strength, we are still powerless to destroy him."

"I still have some colleagues from the same sect, and I am looking for two righteous masters everywhere. Only by combining their strengths can we be sure."

"Before they arrive, all we can do is protect Master Fu and never give Centipede Jing a chance."

Fu Tianchou hurriedly said: "I don't know who you are looking for? Brother Liu and the others have a lot of friends, maybe they can help."

Zheng Zha didn't hide anything, and said happily: "One is Yan Chixia, a hot-handed judge who was famous in the 26 provinces of Guandong and Guangxi, and the other is Master Taiyi."

"The former is easier to find. The latter has been hidden for many years, and the dragon can't see the end. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find."

"However, as long as we can find Hero Yan, we are more or less confident."

Master Bachi has already broken through the stage of transforming gods, and with the support of Chu Xuan, Zhang Qin, and Changkong Wuji, three Golden Core Stages, it should not be a problem to deal with a Yin-Yang Dharma King.

He alone is enough to contain Pudu Cihang. In this way, as long as Li Mu and Yan Chixia can kill the old Black Mountain demon, they will be safe in this reincarnation.

Therefore, it is irrelevant whether they can find Taiyi or not. It is best if they can find them.

Liu Zhaodao: "Okay, I will immediately mobilize my friends in the world to find the trace of Master Yan as soon as possible. As for Master Taiyi, we will also try to find out."

Zheng Zha heard the words and told everyone that they had entrusted the bounty hunters to find people.

Fu Tianchou slapped his thigh after hearing this, and said annoyedly: "Young master, you are so confused. If one thousand taels of gold is exchanged for food relief to the victims, it will be enough to feed 10 people for two or three months, and that will be a way for 10 people to survive."

"For this kind of thing, you look for the old man. Isn't it easier for the government to find someone than a bounty hunter?"

Severe floods occurred in the south of the Yangtze River this year. A large number of farmlands in Changzhou, Xiuzhou, Huzhou, Pingjiang and other places were flooded, resulting in no harvest.

Countless victims were starved of food, and it looked like a great famine.

The government's disaster relief food and supplies were delayed, and Fu Tianchou even suspected that maybe they would never arrive at all.

Except for some rations that are only enough for his family to eat, his family has been emptied, and all of them are used for disaster relief, but it is still just a drop in the bucket.

Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice, not a land short of food, but the food was all piled up in the homes of rich families and gentry.

They would rather let the grain go moldy in the warehouse than take it out to help the victims.

But if they bought it from them with money, they would still be willing to sell it. If he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, came forward, the other party would not dare to open his mouth.

Even if it will be higher than the market price, it will not be much higher.

So when I heard that Zheng Zha and the others took out a thousand taels of gold to find someone, I couldn't help feeling distressed.
