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 full of energy and extraordinary momentum, were waiting here.

Among the six people, the one standing in front with Fu Yuechi was a middle-aged man with a long beard and sharp eyes. He was the Uncle Liu Liu Zhao mentioned by Fu Yuechi.

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

When they saw Fu Tianchou and Fu Qingfeng, they led a group of five people through the hand-chaosou corridor and into the courtyard in front of the main hall. They immediately took a few steps forward and greeted Fu Tianchou with fists in their hands: "Your Excellency."

There is no doubt that they were also amazed by the size of the eight-foot-sama, and then were stunned by her beauty.

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

Fu Yuechi ran to her sister's side and looked at everyone curiously.

Fu Tianchou nodded to Liu Zhao, and then introduced to Zheng Zha: "Master Zheng, this is my daughter Yuechi, and these are my guests."

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

Hearing this, Zheng Zha told everyone that they had asked a bounty hunter to find him.

"But as long as we can find Master Yan, we are somewhat sure."

Chu Xuan raised his hand subconsciously, and then realized that there were no glasses on the bridge of his nose.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Liu Zhao asked Zheng Zha: "Mr. Zheng, as far as I know, the Emei sect was destroyed by the war between good and evil more than four hundred years ago. I don't know..."

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

"But he indulged in having fun and allowed Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs to control the government. How could the government not be in chaos and the national destiny not decline?"

Fu Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Mr. Zheng, are you saying that someone is going to do harm to my father?"

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

Zheng Zha said: "Although the Emei Sect was destroyed, it was not exterminated. Our group went overseas and passed down the incense."

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.

After listening to Liu Zhao's words, Fu Tianchou just stroked his beard and smiled without interrupting. Obviously, he had some intention of taking a test.

Chu Xuan found that his fingers had not reached behind his glasses, so he scratched the bridge of his nose very calmly, and said: "There is no need for sparring. The sword techniques of our Emei sect are used to subjugate demons and eliminate demons, so they are not suitable for sparring."

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

Zheng Zha said: "What you are talking about is just the process and results, not the source."

After all, you can't just show up to a few random people and say that you are some awesome person, and he has to greet them politely, as that will only make him a joke.

Chu Xuan said calmly: "If you really did something so outrageous that people would hate you, you might not have suffered such a disaster."

Fu Tianqiu was speechless. It was an ironclad fact that Zhu Youxiao was uneducated and there was no way to wash it away.

Countless victims are starved of food and are facing a massive famine.

"I also have some fellow disciples who are looking for two righteous masters. Only by combining their strength can we be absolutely sure."

Wearing glasses is just a habit for him, and holding up his glasses is also a habitual action. Now the glasses he wears are all plain glasses.

Fu Tianchou burst into hearty laughter, which relieved Liu Zhao's embarrassment.

The court's disaster relief supplies of food and grass were delayed in arriving, and Fu Tianchou even suspected that they might not arrive at all.

After it was issued, all the courtiers were dumbfounded. Fu Tianchou had also received such nonsense orders before, which gave him a headache.

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

But this time, in order to pretend to be an ancient person, he had taken off his glasses.

"It's hard for me to tell others about some treasonous things, but now that you are the last hope of Ming Dynasty, I must tell you clearly."

Although the Ming Dynasty already had glasses, it was obviously unconvincing that a tall swordsman would suffer from myopia, so he simply stopped wearing glasses for the time being.

"And we are here to protect Mr. Fu from being swallowed by the centipede spirit."

Once, the Fu army in Jiangxi reported victory after quelling the rebellion. The memorial contained the sentence "Chasing and running to the north", which originally meant that they traveled around to quell the rebellion and it was very hard.

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

"Wow..."

"It should be like this in theory, but it's a pity... alas..." Zheng Zha sighed and said with a sincere expression: "I can see that your Excellency is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he is not a foolish, loyal and pedantic person."

As his hand movements changed, the long sword whirled above his head, then split into dozens of handles, pointing diagonally at Liu Zhao.

No matter what, put on the high hat first. Even if you really say something that makes him unhappy, he will not fall out because of it.

The two sisters standing beside Fu Tianchou focused on something different from them.

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

Lord Bachi has broken through to the Divine Transformation Stage, and with the help of Chu Xuan, Zhang Qin, and Changkong Wuji, who are in the Golden Core Stage, it should not be a problem to deal with a Yin Yang Dharma King.

Zheng Zha did not hide anything and said cheerfully: "One is Yan Chixia, a notorious judge in the twenty-six provinces of Guandong and Guangxi, and the other is Master Taiyi."

The eunuch beside Zhu Youxiao also didn't have much ink in his chest. When reading the memorial, he read "Chai Ben Zhui Bei" as "Zhu Ben Zhui Bi".

Zheng Zha said in a deep voice: "Because he intends to swallow up the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, help himself transform into a real dragon, and then occupy the throne and rule the world."

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

Just listen to Zheng Zha continue to say: "If he can use his energy as a carpenter in government affairs, the Ming Dynasty will never be like this."

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

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

Liu Zhaodao: "I was just about to ask for advice."

"Now the only luck left in the Ming Dynasty lies with the Emperor and Lord Fu. As long as he devours Lord Fu and then the Emperor, he can take his place and become the Emperor and occupy the court."

Fu Tianchou sighed sadly: "Treacherous ministers are in power, corruption is rampant, there are factional disputes in the court, courtiers are at odds with each other, and there are eunuchs who deceive the saints and interfere with power, how can the world not be in chaos?"

"Hahahaha... Okay, okay, you are worthy of being the Shushan Sword Immortal. His skills are really amazing. Today, I am really eye-opening."

He is also unwilling to listen to others' orders, and often does not know how to pretend to understand. A piece of paper or half a piece of edict, after many corrections, often makes the arts and sciences unclear.

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

Liu Zhao's eyes flashed, and he continued: "It is said that the Emei Sect has excellent swordsmanship, and the Shushan Sword Immortal is famous all over the world. I wonder if I can have a chance to meet him?"

"But your Excellency is a good official, and he carries part of the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, so they have to deal with you."

Fu Tianqiu sat at the main seat, and everyone chatted for a few words. After the sisters served tea and Fu Tianqiu invited tea, they got to the main topic.

After hearing what he said, everyone was shocked, angry and anxious. Fu Yuechi blurted out: "The situation is already so critical. You should go and destroy the centipede spirit. What's the use of just protecting my father?"

Zheng Zha shook his head and said: "Not only the eunuchs, but all the civil and military officials of the imperial court are going to deal with you."

When explaining, "Zhuben" is said to be "chasing and escaping", and "Chasing Bi" is said to be "pursuing stolen goods".

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

After saying that, he pointed his sword, and the Adamantium alloy long sword behind him came out of its sheath with a clang.

"Pfft..."

Fu Tianchou paused his hand stroking his beard and said in astonishment: "Why is this? What evil deed has the old man done that is so outrageous that he ends up like this?"

When Fu Tianchou heard this, there was no 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?"

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

Due to his illiteracy, Zhu Youxiao issued imperial edicts and could only make decisions by listening to and reading drafts prepared by others.

He immediately threw the memorial to the ground and said: "It makes no sense for a small foreign country."

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

"Before they arrive, all we can do is protect Mr. Fu and never give Centipede the opportunity to take advantage of him."

"Is this happening?" Fu Tianchou and others were shocked. They finally grasped some of the truth of the matter.

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

Fu Tianchou said to Zheng Zha: "Master Zheng, I wonder if you can give me some advice when you come to my humble residence this time?"

Serious floods occurred in the south of the Yangtze River this year. A large amount of farmland in Changzhou Prefecture, Xiuzhou Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture, Pingjiang Prefecture and other places was flooded, resulting in no harvest.

Fu Tianchou heard this and said hurriedly: "I wonder who you are looking for? Brother Liu and his friends have many connections, so they may be able to help."

Sisters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi also looked at Zheng Zha and his entourage with keen eyes, full of curiosity and expectation.

From what Zheng Zha said, it was clear that he wanted to serve the imperial court and help the imperial court reorganize the world. This was the joy of the Ming Dynasty and the joy of the people.

Zhu Youxiao pretended to read it for a long time, taking the memorial with the list of tributes as a memorial to negotiate some issue, and did not get angry.

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

"What?" Fu Tianchou stood up suddenly, looked at Zheng Zha in disbelief and said, "How is this possible? The capital is the place where my destiny of the Ming Dynasty gathers, and any monsters must stay away."

Zheng Zha said with a serious expression: "My lord, do you know why the Ming Dynasty has been in chaos and the people have been in dire straits in recent years?"

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether they can find Taiyi Shang. It's best if they can find it. They have greater certainty. If they can't find it, they can still fight.

"But the centipede spirit has roped in the other two big demons. With our current strength, it's not possible to destroy him."

"But since Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, the fortune of the Ming Dynasty has been declining day by day. Investigating the root cause, the problem all lies with our emperor."

After hearing this, Fu Tianchou slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "Young master, you are confused. If a thousand taels of gold are exchanged for food to help the victims, it will be enough for one hundred thousand people to eat for two to three months, and that will be the life of one hundred thousand people."

"Looking for someone, why don't you look for an old man? Isn't it easier for the government to find someone than a bounty hunter?"

Fu Tianchou said with confusion: "I don't understand. Could you please explain it more clearly?"

Fu Tianchou, Liu Zhao and others also laughed, but they all smiled bitterly.

Zheng Zha nodded and said: "That's right, and he is someone you absolutely cannot resist."

The south of the Yangtze River was originally a land of plenty, not a land lacking in food, but all the food was piled up in the homes of wealthy gentry.

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

"Once the fortune of the country declines, it will no longer be a deterrent to demons. In addition, the protector of the country practices authentic Buddhist techniques and is not restrained by the golden dragon of luck. In this way, he will naturally be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital."

Fu Tianchou had no doubts about Zheng Zha and his entourage. He immediately turned sideways and extended his hand to guide them, saying, "Please come in and serve tea in Qingfeng Yuechi."

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

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

There are countless such examples. With such an emperor, how can the government not be in chaos?

"If the Protector of the Country is really a monster, how can he gain a foothold in the capital and become the Protector of the Country?"

"yes."

Chu Xuan said calmly: "I didn't mean that."

Zheng Zha also took the opportunity to introduce the four people from Chu Xuan. For convenience, Lord Bachi changed his name to Bai Hua.

"Especially the carpentry work. Even if Lu Ban saw him, he would cry and shout to accept him as his apprentice."

"Gulu"

"The former is easier to find, but the latter has been hidden for many years, and the dragon has never seen its head or tail, so it may be difficult to find."

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

Zheng Zha asked in reply: "Have you ever heard of this person, the Protector of the Country?"

After saying that, he withdrew from the court, leaving the bewildered envoys and courtiers from various countries behind, in a mess in the wind above the Jinluan Palace.

Zheng Zha said decisively: "Yes, it's him. It is said that in troubled times, there must be monsters. This so-called protector of the country is actually a thousand-year-old centipede spirit who has practiced Buddhist techniques."

Liu Zhao swallowed secretly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said with a sneer: "It seems that the sword art of your sect is really not suitable for sparring, and I'm with Meng Lang."

"What's so difficult about seeing the Emei Sword Technique?" Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chu, why don't you and Brother Liu compete with each other?"

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

In terms of status, Chu Xuan and Lord Bachi are senior brothers and sisters, while Changkong Wuji and Zhao Yingkong are junior brothers and sisters.

Zheng Zha no longer beat around the bush and explained in detail how Pudu Cihang swallowed up the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and finally said: "According to the information we have, all the officials in the capital and court have been swallowed up by him.

"

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

Except for a portion of his family's rations, which was only enough for his family, it had been emptied out and all was used for disaster relief, but it was still only a drop in the bucket.

Chu Xuan saw that the technique changed again, and the ten long swords merged into one again, then turned around and inserted it back into the scabbard on his back.

The other five diners looked at Zheng Zha and the others in very different ways, with a sense of awe.

"If Brother Liu is determined to compete, then I will ask Brother Liu for some tips, please."

Zhu Youxiao was furious after hearing this. Jiangxi Fujun not only did not receive a reward, but was punished by "demoting his salary".

Zheng Zha nodded and said: "Although my luck in the Ming Dynasty has fluctuated from time to time, overall it is still stable."

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

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

Zheng Zha looked solemn and said: "To be honest, sir, I have three things to do here. One is to save your life, the other is to support the Ming Dynasty from falling, and the third is to save the world from water and fire."

They would rather let the food mold in the warehouse than take it out to provide relief to the victims.

But if you give them money to buy it, they are still willing to sell it. With him, the Minister of War, coming forward, the other party will not dare to say anything like a lion.

Even if it is higher than the market price, it won't be much higher.

So when I heard that Zheng Zha and the others had spent a thousand taels of gold to find someone, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
