Chapter 239 Surrendering to Nanzhao (two chapters in one)
The four protectors smiled wryly when they heard this familiar voice.

Everyone looked at the door in unison, only to see a figure in Tsing Yi slowly walking in.

This person's face is like a crown jade, elegant and handsome.Like a personable and refined scholar.

He has no momentum, no Dao rhyme, at first glance he looks like an ordinary person without cultivation.

"Big dragon head!"

When everyone saw this person, they stood up together, clasped their fists together and saluted, with respectful expressions.

Even the four powerful Dharma protectors are no exception.

The outside world doesn't know that this handsome man like a refined scholar is the leader of the Brotherhood, Luo Jishi!

What's more, Yizhou Mu is still the leader of the elder brother's association!

Luo Jishi nodded and smiled at the crowd, and strolled through the grand hall like a leisurely stroll, and the old god sat down gracefully and naturally before walking to the highest position.

Then he waved his hand, "Everyone sit down, no courtesy."

"Yes." The guardians, elders, rudder masters, and hall masters all sat down together.

The four guardians were all a little uneasy, but they all looked calm and composed.

Luo Jishi looked around the crowd with a smile that was not a smile, but everyone who was touched by his eyes lowered their heads slightly, feeling awe-inspiring.

Even the four great Dharma protectors did not dare to openly challenge Luo An's majesty in the Gelaohui.

For more than 20 years, although Da Longtou has been absent most of the time, he has always firmly controlled the power of the Gelaohui.

Luo An picked up a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and said in a clear voice:
"As for me, I was out of the city to inspect the three camps, but I didn't expect to come back at night."

"However, I got a secret report that the association is going to convene a high-level meeting. Since it is a high-level meeting, as the leader, how can I not attend?"

Guardian Qinglong had no choice but to stand up, and explained bravely:
"Da Longtou is busy with official duties, and he is in danger of Yizhou. He is responsible for suppressing thieves. The emperor and the court have entrusted him with the most important duties. He has exhausted his energy and dedication."

"The matter in the meeting is irrelevant, and I really can't bear to bother the leader. So, the four of us decided to call the meeting without authorization."

Protector Baihu also stood up and explained: "I want to teach the leader to know that the four subordinates have no intention of hiding from the leader."

"It's just that, as Qinglong Guardian said, Dalongtou, as the governor of the state, has urgent military affairs and busy political affairs. Although we are presumptuous, our original intention is to relieve Dalongtou's worries..."

Xuanwu and Suzaku, the two guardian masters, also stood up and explained.

Only now did the four of them realize that although they are all Dharma protectors, they are highly respected in the meeting, but if they join forces to fight against the leader, they will still be powerless.

It was originally a coup against the palace, but before it was officially launched, it was suppressed by the leader.

Not only did the four of them fail to achieve their set goals, but they were on the contrary, very passive.

Only then did they understand that the big leader seemed to be ignoring the Gelaohui, but in fact he was always watching the Gelaohui!

I thought I could take advantage of the loophole this time, and call everyone to make a few important decisions first, but who knows that this is all the means of the big leader trying to catch him.

According to the rules of the Gelaohui, if the big leader insists on pursuing the case, they will all be in bad luck.

Luo An's face gradually turned cold, and he said lightly:
"I know, some of you think that I am a Yizhou shepherd, sitting on the side of the court, deliberately alienating the elder brother's association, and disregarding the interests of the elder brother's association, right?"

"Think I'm trying to abandon the Gelaohui or even betray the Gelaohui in order to get promoted? Right?"

"Think I've forgotten my roots, the great cause of the Gelaohui, and the [-] brothers, right?"

"Thinking that I am often absent from the meeting and rarely preside over the meeting in person, this big leader is a vegetarian meal, right?"

The four guardians looked embarrassed, "The leader misunderstood, my subordinate..."

Luo An interrupted them with a wave of his hand, "So, you are impatient and want to take advantage of everyone's grievances and unite to elect a new leader, right? Hmm?"

He looked very calm, even with a slight smile, but this question was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

The four guardians are all third-rank masters, and they are all awe-inspiring at this moment.

They really want to seek power, but they have no intention of pushing another leader.

It's not that I don't want to.

No, dare not!

"The words of the big dragon head, the subordinates are really ashamed." Qinglong Guardian said solemnly, "The subordinates will not dare to take these heart-breaking questions from the big dragon head."

"Today, the subordinates are indeed acting presumptuously. Please punish the big leader. The subordinates have no complaints. But we have absolutely no intention of rebelling. It is wrong to push the big leader."

As a woman, Suzaku Protector said with a bit of heartache:
"Da Longtou really misunderstood his subordinates. I'm only waiting for Brother Laohui and also for Da Longtou. How can I start a new life?"

"My elder brother has been following the rules for hundreds of years. The leader of the dragon is always the succession of father to son, brother to brother, and husband and wife... Let's not say that we don't have this intention at all. Even if we want to betray, it's not justified."

"That's all." Luo An smiled again, "They're all brothers, I don't have to pursue anyone's crimes today."

"Your contributions to the Brotherhood, my brothers and I are all in our eyes and in our hearts."

"Let's say that back then, I spent ten years in the countryside of Emei Tuo County, and I only went back to the general altar a few times, all thanks to you to take care of the affairs of the meeting."

The four of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, they have already protected the Dharma, who is not loyal to the Gelaohui?
Seeing that he had beaten enough, Luo An said:
"Let me tell you first, since I am the leader of the Gelaohui, I must put the interests of the Gelaohui first!"

"I joined the Gelaohui at the age of seven and grew up in the Gelaohui. It has been 40 years now! What is the Gelaohui? It is my home!"

"Could it be that I will ignore my own family for the sake of the court?"

Luo An's tone was a little emotional, "My elder brother will have hundreds of thousands of brothers! They are all watching! Watching me! Watching Yizhou! Watching you!"

"My elder brother's foundation in Yizhou for hundreds of years! It cannot be destroyed in your hands, let alone mine!"

"Although I became a shepherd of Yizhou and controlled the power of Yizhou, but Yizhou is in chaos and the rebels are arrogant, how can I act rashly?"

"What is the secret purpose of the Gelaohui? It is for the people of Shu to govern Shu! It is to restore the glory of the ancient Shu Kingdom!"

"Me! Suye dare not forget! Dare not forget!"

He pointed outside, "I hold hundreds of thousands of troops! I hold the golden mountains and silver seas of the Shu Palace! But I can only watch the territory of the Gelaohui being taken away by the rebels! Why?!"

"Because the time has not come, we can only bear it!"

"Drinking ice for a hundred years is hard to cool your blood!"

"My son Mingzhao died at the hands of the rebels! But as a Yizhou shepherd, I can't avenge my son!"

"Once the Gelaohui raises its flag and raises its troops, there is only one chance! We can't afford to lose!"

"If I'm not Yizhou Mu, if I'm not the son-in-law of the King of Shu, do you know what will happen?"

"If anyone becomes Yizhou pastor, do you know what he would do?!"

Luo An pointed at the crowd, "If someone else is the shepherd of Yizhou, at this critical moment, he will use the Gelaohui to uproot the hidden danger of the Gelaohui!

"Then, use the resources and industries accumulated by the Gelaohui for hundreds of years as military pay to kill the rebels!"

"If that's the case, my elder brother's association will be beyond redemption!"

"I was the one who entered the Shu Palace. Relying on the power of the Shu King, I dismissed the former Yizhou Mu and took the position of Yizhou Mu! This is how I preserved the foundation of the Gelaohui!"

"Ge Laohui is saved, I can only use the resources of the Shu Palace to pay for the army! Tell me, where is my butt sitting?"

"Da Longtou..." The four guardians couldn't help being moved, "Da Longtou... I misunderstood Dalongtou, and my subordinates will die. Please punish Dalongtou..."

"Big dragon head..." Many elders, rudder masters, and hall masters couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, their resentment because of the delay in inaction has disappeared.

Luo An let out a long sigh, looking at the night outside the door, his tone became more and more gloomy:

"All of you here are my brothers. Maybe some brothers know how the last great leader died?"

"She gave up all the brothel business. As a woman, she thinks it's a shame for a woman to sell her body. It's really too high-spirited."

"You should always remember that the Gelaohui once gave up the brothel business and suffered heavy losses."

"The brothel business is a major source of income for my elder brother's association, and it is also an important means for the elder brother's association to control the rivers and lakes of Yizhou. I don't know how many brothers rely on this business to support their families."

"But she actually gave up!"

"Just because she is a woman! Could it be that the interests and great cause of the Gelaohui can't compare to her noble thoughts?"

"Besides, she also wants to give up the drug business! She also has no intention of restoring the country! She thinks it is an illusory ambition!"

"So, I can only kill my wife to seize the throne! More than one person here knows about this, and I don't need to hide it."

"For the sake of the elder brother's association, for the sake of a hundred thousand brothers, I can only kill my relatives righteously! Knowing that I have sinned against me, only spring and autumn!"

"What I want to say today is that anyone who disregards the interests and great cause of the Gelaohui is not worthy of being a Paoge of the Gelaohui, including... the big leader!"

"If one day, like a butterfly, I disregard the great cause of the Brotherhood and endanger the interests of the Brotherhood, any of you can turn against me!"

Qinglong Dharma Guardian said: "Da Longtou killed his wife to seize the throne, righteously killed relatives, good intentions, everyone supports! If not, how can we support Dalongtou to succeed?"

Luo An changed the subject, "I know that many people have resentment in their hearts, thinking that I have missed a good opportunity by delaying my resignation, but now is really not the best time."

"Once the Ge Laohui raises its flag, will it help the rebels or the court?"

"If you help the rebels, the imperial court will definitely deal with the Gelaohui. The cheapest ones are the rebels Zhang and Li."

"If you help the imperial court, you will become the enemy of the rebels. If the imperial court destroys the rebels, the elder brother will be alone."

"If the two do not help each other, then both sides are not pleasing, and both sides are enemies!"

"Speaking of it, the situation is so embarrassing, mainly because the Gelaohui has no backing!"

When everyone thought about it, they felt that it was true.

Luo An stood up, paced back and forth in the lobby, talking eloquently.

"Ge Laohui has money, at least there is no shortage of resources in the early stage. I have a solution for weapons and horses. Ge Laohui has [-] brothers, and there is no shortage of soldiers in the early stage. But... lack of backing!"

"Without a backing, the Gelaohui cannot last at all. Whether it is the court or the rebels, they are stronger than the Gelaohui."

"Without backing, there will be no momentum. Others will not dare to go to it, and they will not dare to bet on Gelaohui. Gelaohui will fail sooner or later."

"So, I've been waiting, and what I'm waiting for is the backer!"

Everyone understood, Da Longtou took great pains to talk about backing.

When Luo An said this, he suddenly played a hand formula, let go of the restraint of the formation, looked at the door, and said:
"Mr. Kunmi, please!"

Immediately, a thin and small man in white appeared at the door of the grand hall.

This white-clothed man had a black poisonous snake wrapped around his hand, and a Nanzhao feather crown on his head, his aura was very gloomy.

Judging from his cultivation base, he is a fourth-grade perfect Gu cultivation.

"Nanzhao people?" Everyone in the Ge Laohui was startled.

The four guardians finally understood.

It turned out that Dalongtou wanted Gelaohui to join Nanzhao.But I was worried that they would object, so I deliberately set up this trap.

When I and others were wronged, in order to avoid being held accountable, I had to support and take refuge in Nanzhao.

In this way, the internal resistance to seek refuge in Nanzhao was eliminated by the leader.

The Nanzhao Kingdom borders Yizhou, and has millions of elite soldiers with strong combat power. They can send troops to Yizhou at any time, and they are indeed a big backer.

However, once they surrendered to the Nanzhao Kingdom, even if the Gelaohui could restore the ancient Shu Kingdom to rule Yizhou, they would probably be controlled by Nanzhao and become a vassal.

They wanted to oppose it, but they thought that they had failed to seek power tonight, they hadn't been held accountable yet, and they didn't have the confidence to oppose it.

"Kun Mi, the special envoy of the Great Nanzhao Kingdom." The Nanzhao special envoy said a little arrogantly, "Da Longtou, we meet again."

"I don't know if you welcome me."

He speaks Xiayu fluently, without a Nanzhao accent.

Luo An smiled slightly, "Special envoy, please sit down. The people sitting here are all the core brothers of my Ge Laohui."

"They are eager to see through the special envoy, how can they not welcome it?"

"Guardians, what do you think?"

The four guardian masters looked at each other, and could only smile wryly: "Mr. Kun Mi's visit, Brother Elder will be extremely honored."

Now that things have happened, they can only pinch their noses and support Nanzhao Kingdom.

Seeing that no one objected, Luo An couldn't help smiling.

You are obedient, that is the best.

If I dare to object again...

Kun Mi said straight to the point: "Da Longtou, I won't say anything else. Nanzhao will send troops to Yizhou in May next year at the earliest, and in August at the latest."

"Nanzhao doesn't want Yizhou, as long as you pay tribute."

Hearing that they were paying tribute, the faces of the four guardians all changed.

In fact, Kun Mi has another sentence, ceding the land!
At least three counties near Nanzhao must be ceded!
Of course, these words cannot be mentioned now.

"Also, if Da Longtou is really sincere, to finalize this matter, he still needs to go to the Nanzhao Royal City to meet His Majesty Piao Xin."

Luo An nodded and said, "Naturally. I haven't seen His Majesty Piao Xin for a long time. Is Your Majesty okay?"

Kun Mi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very good. She told me that as long as you are loyal, she will help you, the Lord of Shu."

Luo An clasped his hands together and said in Nanzhao etiquette: "Foreign minister, thank you, Your Majesty Piao Xin!"

.........

When the Nanzhao envoy was sent away, Qinglong Guardian couldn't help but said:

"Big dragon head, Nanxun is like a wolf, a barbarian of a foreign race, not my race. If he turns his back on it in the future and gets involved in Yizhou..."

Luo An smiled and said: "Make a decision before moving, take one step and see three steps. But the most urgent thing is to rely on Nanzhao's army."

The white tiger protector said: "Da Longtou, the Gelaohui really needs foreign aid to raise troops, but when the time comes, the imperial court will be furious and send troops into Yizhou continuously..."

"The imperial court?" Luo An shook his head, "The imperial court is hard to protect itself, so how can we take care of Yizhou?"

"The golden army is getting stronger and stronger, rebels are swarming all over the place, and the great summer is about to run out, and it won't last for many years."

"I, a Yizhou shepherd, can be a year for a year..."

Qingque Dharma Guardian looked worried, "If the golden man wins the world, even if we separate Yizhou, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"The future will be discussed in the future." Luo An looked at the north, his eyes were deep and deep, "the golden man may not be able to seize the world."

"At least right now, we have to rely on Nanzhao and devour Yizhou!"

"After the New Year, I will go to the Nanzhao King City in person to meet the Queen of Nanzhao!"

The policy of "surrendering to Nanzhao" that would have been opposed by the four major protectors, was thus easily and easily decided by Luo'an.

This is definitely a major event in the history of the Gelaohui for hundreds of years!
The four guardians secretly sighed in their hearts, but they could only express their obedience to the resolution of "proclaiming a vassal to Nanzhao".

.........

In the Tianzihao guest room of Qingyun Inn, Luo Li was playing with the ice snake while studying the "Nine Poisons Manual".

The girl yawned, and accepted the "Nine Poisons Manual" without interest.

This is the secret book of the Tang family that the outside world dreams of, but Luo Li is not interested.

I don't want to read it.

It is also difficult to understand for a while.The text above is really weird.

Luo Li rubbed the ice snake, stood up and looked out the window in the dark night, feeling anxious.

It's so late, sister-in-law and Lu Pianpian haven't come back yet, are they in danger?
Should I go to the Xuanwu Escort Bureau and spend money to invite masters to go to the Mu Family Theater?
When Luo Li was about to go to the Xuanwu Escort, suddenly the door of the formation clicked, and then a familiar voice came:

"Li'er, I'm back."

"Sister-in-law!" Luo Li was immediately relieved.

Su Chuo walked in with a solemn expression, drank a cup of tea first, and then sighed:

"Lu Pianpian's treasure was successfully retrieved. But I also encountered trouble..."

"...I swore a blood oath, so I have to go to the Su Mansion and beg Su Yu to save Mu Xianling..."

"Li'er, you will stay here tomorrow, I will go to the Su Mansion!"

PS: Looking at this chapter, do some people think that I am whitewashing Luoan?I didn't intend to whitewash Luo An, this person is a bad person, there is nothing to whitewash.Crab, good night.I don't know when the comments will be released.
