Twilight Boundary

"If you want blood food, ask your father!"

When the left protector Shen Hongzhi received the letter from the Truth Church, she immediately flew into a rage and slammed the table and started to curse, which frightened the Red Lantern Lady.

They didn't know that this was the sequelae of the Truth Church being scolded away by the Seventh Aunt at night. In the mountains in the south, they began to gather troops and horses, intending to rush through those mountain bandits in one breath, and in the north, they urged blood food to prepare to recruit these Jianghu strangers.

Now, whether it is the troops of the Truth Church or the grain protection army coming out of the mountains, they are all temporarily gathered together. Therefore, whoever recruits enough helpers can kill all around is the most simple truth.

Hu Ma can see it, and the Truth Church can see it clearly. That's why, in order to collect grain earlier, they didn't rush the Red Lantern Society, but now that it's time to see the truth, the one thousand jars of blood food, if they don't hand it over now, when will they?

But as soon as this letter came out, the left protector of the Red Lantern Society almost fainted with anger: "The blood food has long been stolen by your Truth Church using evil methods, and you dare to ask us for it?"

"It's fine if you made a big profit quietly, but now you want it back. There are only a few melons and dates left in the two warehouses, which can't even feed mice. Could it be that you want to force us to sell the Red Lantern Goddess and give it to them?"

"..."

For a while, I was really confused about the Truth Church's actions. Before, the Truth Church sent people to attack the blood food warehouse at night. After that night, the blood food disappeared. The left protector couldn't contact the right protector, so he had to check for a long time by himself, but he really didn't find any clues.

But there is no doubt that the blood food warehouse must have been intercepted by the Truth Church, but why they borrowed the blood food on the surface and stole the blood food secretly, I was a little unsure for a while.

But the Truth Church came to Mingzhou to preach, but secretly measured the land and collected grain. Everyone saw it. Now, when it comes to blood food, it seems to be the same.

It's fine to just bully those country folks, but our Red Lantern Society also worships the altar god, how can we be controlled by you like this?

"Come on, let's face the truth of the Truth Church today."

In anger, the left protector immediately summoned all the incense masters, shopkeepers, and worshippers in Zhumen Town in front of the Red Lantern Temple, waving the letter handed over by the Truth Church, and shouted: "It seems that the Truth Church has been harboring evil from the beginning and will not let us have an easy life."

"They said they wanted to borrow grain from us, but I think they might want to find a reason to destroy us and show it to those nobles in the city, but we are not soft persimmons!"

"Go out Come with me, some brave brothers, to Mingzhou City to confront them!"

"If they really bully us like this, then beat them!"

"We have three to five hundred men in the Red Lantern Society. Are we afraid of such a foreign monster?"

"..."

She was angry and full of blood. Her pretty face was full of murderous intent, but an embarrassing scene appeared. She shouted loudly, and everyone below also looked angry. But when it came to entering the city, no one responded.

She was unwilling to give up, and shouted again: "Brothers, go into the city and talk to them. No one can be unreasonable!"

No one responded below.

The old Jianghu below even began to lower their heads, not daring to meet her beautiful eyes.

What a joke, they collected grain and recruited soldiers, occupied the capital of Mingzhou, and united with various nobles and masters, but it is clear that they are going to do big things...

Our Red Lantern Society is just a gang, why do you want to fight with them?

The shopkeepers, the worshippers, and even the incense masters in the Red Lantern Society are not stupid. When a gang encounters such a gang, the two sides are not on the same level...

As for masters, the Red Lantern Society actually has quite a few, with 17 manors and blood-food mines under its name, most of whom are people who keep the year-end. When it comes to the battlefield, every person who keeps the year-end is a good player and it is easy to make a name for themselves.

But who dares to rebel?

Not only do they not dare to rebel, they dare not fight with these rebels. After all, most of the people who keep the year-end are doing well and have a comfortable life. How can they risk their lives on such things?

Therefore, after the left protector shouted for a long time, he saw that except for a few silent incense burners who were willing to follow, none of the masters dared to agree. Instead, their eyes rolled around, and many of them wanted to temporarily leave the Red Lantern Club...

Not only them, but even the red lanterns hanging in the temple behind them were a little confused: "Send someone to explain it first. It's not that we don't want to give it, but we really have nothing..."

"Fighting and killing will hurt the harmony..."

"..."

But in this awkward silence, someone suddenly jumped up and raised his hand: "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Everyone looked sideways in a hurry and saw that the one who spoke was a young lady wearing a silk jacket worn by the wives of wealthy families, a bright red skirt, and a hairpin on her head. She was a different style from the people in the hall.

But among the group of burly men, she had a righteous look on her face: "The guild is in need of people, why is no one stepping forward to help the queen?"

"Oh..."

Left Guardian Shen Hongzhi was so angry that she couldn't express it in words. When she saw her, she was overjoyed: "It's you, I finally found you."

"Sister, you have great skills and are loyal to our club. I noticed you last time. I wanted to find you afterwards, but I couldn't find you. You are the little white waist worshiper, right?"

"I'm sorry for you. After I met you last time, I wanted to find you and promote you to the red waist."

"..."

"We are all doing things for the queen. How important are the white waist and the red waist?"

The people around also recognized her. This person seemed to be a rich lady from Mihang who had surrendered from the green evil ghost. Her husband's surname was Lu, but she was sick and no one had seen her.

These little worshipers are actually hidden forces of the Red Lantern Club. They usually have to take care of business at home. They will only come to meet secretly when the Red Lantern Club summons them. I don't know why this rich lady is so happy and active.

Even when the Left Protector wanted to promote her, she just waved her hand and said, "Just give me a red lantern."

"I want to take it home to worship. As long as I worship our Red Lantern Goddess, I will feel happy when doing things. I will never be afraid of any green evil ghosts or the Truth Church!"

"..."

"Okay, okay."

When the Left Protector heard her say this, he was so moved that he almost cried. Especially among this group of cowardly old men, he felt that Digua Shao was different. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He said, "He took the initiative to do things for the gang, and he is not greedy. This credit..."

"Sister, I will become sworn brothers with you, and we will advance and retreat together, how about that?"

"..."

"Become sworn brothers?"

The left protector was moved by the proposal, which made Mrs. Lu from the rice shop stunned for a moment: "I have never tried this before..."

She soon became excited: "Okay, okay, let's try it, is it interesting..."

Deliberately making a fool of these cowardly old men, the left protector Shen Hongzhi came down and burned incense with the rich lady of Lu's rice shop, the little white waist of the Red Lantern Society, in front of everyone, and became sworn brothers.

Then she took out a red lantern with gold patterns, which only the incense master was qualified to carry, and burned it for Digua, which was equivalent to accepting the order. Then she prepared to gather the people and go to Mingzhou City with her to meet the Truth Church directly.

Originally, the left protector Shen Hongzhi wanted to go with her, but Mrs. Lu righteously kept her: "Sister, you stay, it's inconvenient for me to take you with me..."

"...It's not safe."

"There are many things going on in the association now. If there is any trouble, you still have to take charge of the situation!"

"..."

These words moved the left protector greatly. He took her hand and whispered: "Sister, some words should be said in secret. Just now, we were up there, so I had to speak more firmly, but you must not say this after you go..."

"The main thing is to tell them that we really don't have that much blood food. If they only want one or two hundred jars, we will give them some..."

"..."

"What about the other one or two hundred jars?"

When Di Gu Shao heard this, he said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, I know what I am doing!"

As he said that, he took up the responsibility and left the town alone. He went to the village next door, spent his own money to find a few people to carry the sedan chair, and held up the red lanterns high, playing music and drums, and came all the way to Mingzhou Prefecture.

Such a high-profile entry into the city immediately attracted the attention of many people. Along the street, people holding banners with the word "reason" and carrying weapons on their waists were everywhere. The nobles who usually kept a low profile and the officials and runners in official uniforms were all attracted here.

Now that there is chaos and disorder outside, people say that there are serious grain bandits in the mountains. People are already panicking. Seeing the people from the Red Lantern Society coming, they are naturally concerned about the situation.

"Back then, our Red Lantern Society didn't have this kind of reputation in Mingzhou City..."

When Di Gu Shao entered the city, he sat in the sedan chair and looked around. Seeing the banners of the Truth Church everywhere, he felt sorry for the Red Lantern Goddess: "Such a virtuous and respected Goddess, she could only hide in the southwest corner of the city before. After finally building a temple, she was chased to Zhumen Town..."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became: "The Goddess is so pitiful. I am so angry for her..."

While thinking about it, he had already arrived at the government office in the city, and saw the leader of the Truth Church, who had already received the letter, coming out to greet her.

Digua Shao got off the sedan chair, politely bowed to the two altar masters, and the two altar masters also hurriedly pretended to receive her, but after all, seeing that it was a woman, they only made a gesture and did not really touch her, and said with a smile:

"I was just about to invite the fellows of the Red Lantern Society to discuss important matters, and the friends of the Red Lantern Society are here, please come in quickly...

"..."

"Then there is no need, I came here just to pass on a message from the gang, you sent someone to pass the letter to ask about the thousand jars of blood food, our queen said..."

Digua Shao shyly glanced at the people around him, then raised his head, raised his chin slightly, and said loudly: "Don't worry about it..."

"...There is nothing left!"
