Returning to the Cao Temple, after Pang Wanchun ate some dry food and replenished his strength, he put on Suisheng's clothes, and the five of them left here under the cover of night.

Head east all the way to Qingxi County.

In the darkness, with no one chasing them, the five people walked along the road for more than ten miles and arrived at a forest by the river.

Pang Qiuxia was worried about Pang Wanchun's injury and said, "Why don't you stop and take a rest?"

Zhang Zhengdao saw that he couldn't tell the direction, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, just rest here and leave after dawn."

We found a dry place, lit a bonfire, and after briefly cleaning the mud on our bodies, we sat together and talked briefly.

Pang Wanchun cupped his hands and said: "Pang, thank you all for the rescue."

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "If I hadn't met Miss Qiuxia on the road, I don't know that Brother Pangda would have been caught as a young man."

Pang Wanchun shook his head and sighed: "If it hadn't been for Zhang Guanren's rescue, I'm afraid Pang's brother and sister would have died here today."

Pang Qiuxia was filled with fear and whispered: "Brother."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "What are Brother Pang's plans in the future?"

Pang Wanchun glanced at Pang Qiuxia and said with a wry smile: "We just killed several Xiang soldiers. There is nothing good people can do, so they can only find a copycat to join the gang."

"When my sister-in-law and I passed by Siming Mountain before, the two leaders Lei Jiong and Ji Ji who had fallen grass on the mountain had invited me, but I refused. Now I can only join them." Pang Wanchun thought for a moment and decided.

Go to Siming Mountain.

Su Sheng won this man, grinned and said: "I see that you are a man who is not weak in hands and feet, but is short-sighted."

Pang Wanchun was puzzled and asked: "Brother, why do you say this?"

Sui Sheng shouted: "My brother occupies a good place in Nuo University. You don't want to go and go to Siming Mountain, which you have never heard of."

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "Brother Pang Pang, why don't you come to my little village and take a seat at the top?"

Shan Shi said curiously: "With Brother Pang's ability, he will definitely be useful when he comes to Liangshan."

Pang Wanchun was startled, then thought of something and asked in surprise: "Are you heroes from Liangshan?"

Suisheng replied: "What, you don't believe it?"

Pang Wanchun shook his head and said: "When I was in Shezhou, I heard a lot about the Liangshan incident, but..."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "To be honest, I am the 'Nine Heavens Divine Dragon' Zhang Tiandao."

Pang Wanchun and Pang Qiuxia were completely stunned.

Zhang Zhengdao continued: "My visit to Jiangnan this time is to pay a visit to the Mingjiao leader."

Pang Wanchun cupped his fists and said, "I should have thought that it was the owner of Liangshan Park who was in front of him. Pang was so rude, so please don't blame me."

Pang Qiuxia stared at Zhang Zhengdao for a long time, and then said: "Big lie... Are you really the Lord of Liangshan?"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said with a smile: "It will be replaced if it's fake."

Pang Qiuxia still couldn't believe it and asked: "If you are not in Yunzhou, how could you go to Liangshan, Jeju to park Luocao?"

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "Nowadays, the world is difficult. The treacherous people control the government, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are displaced. I couldn't bear it, so I gathered these people together so that they would not be exploited by the government."

Pang Qiuxia sneered and said, "Are you so conscientious?"

Zhang Zhengdao made a pun: "If you have been with me for a long time, you will know all my benefits."

At this moment, Zhang Zhengdao was teasing his girl, but Pang Wanchun didn't pay attention to it at all. He was just weighing in his mind whether to join Simingshan or join Liangshanbo in Jeju.

Sui Sheng said: "Whether you want to go or not, you have to tell me. It's so uncomfortable."

Zhang Zhengdao did not push him. Pang Wanchun, unlike Pang Qiuxia, was quite independent. Although Liangshan had a prestigious reputation, he might not be able to fall into the eyes of this man.

Pang Wanchun hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I have an old relationship with Lei Jiong and Ji Ji, and I have been very kind to them. If I don't go through this trouble, I may break the trust of others."

When Sui Sheng saw this, he said with disdain: "I have 20,000 soldiers in Liangshan, and more than 30 leaders, big and small. How can this small Siming Mountain be compared?"

Zhang Zhengdao said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Since Brother Pangda has decided to join Simingshan, I will no longer try to persuade him to stay."

"If Brother Pangda encounters any difficult problems in Siming Mountain in the future, he can send someone to Liangshan to deliver a message." Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Money, food, soldiers and horses are all small things."

Pang Wanchun breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhang Zhengdao would force him to surrender to Liangshan.

When Pang Qiuxia heard that Pang Wanchun decided to go to Siming Mountain, she didn't know whether she felt disappointed or sad.

"Brother." Pang Qiuxia was about to speak when she saw Pang Wanchun shook his head, so she had to stop. She stopped talking and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Sister, if you have time, you can stay in Liangshan for a few days. You can take a boat from Jiangnan to Liangshan, Jeju."

Pang Qiuxia raised her head, looked at Zhang Zhengdao's smile, and nodded in agreement.

When Sui Sheng and Shan Shiqi saw that Pang Wanchun had abandoned Liangshan and went to the unknown Siming Mountain, they stopped talking and just sat on the ground to rest.

Zhang Zhengdao changed the subject and asked: "Brother Pang Pang, you have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, have you ever heard of Mingjiao?"

Pang Wanchun nodded and said: "I've heard it said many times that Manichaeism recruits followers on a large scale. In Shezhou City, there are actually believers who can walk openly without being questioned by the government."

Zhang Zhengdao frowned and asked: "How many followers does this Manichaeism have?"

Pang Wanchun shook his head and said: "I don't know about this Pang."

Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "Brother Pang Pang, have you ever heard of Fang La?"

Pang Wanchun thought about it and replied: "I seem to have heard someone say it somewhere."

"Brother, you have forgotten, this is not the Fang Yuanwai of Qingxi County." Pang Qiuxia reminded.

Pang Wanchun suddenly realized: "Yes, it's that party member."

"Fang Yuanwai has a lacquer garden in Qingxi County. He is very charitable and builds bridges and roads. He is highly respected by the people in the county." Pang Wanchun said, "Is there something special about Fang Yuanwai?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just heard someone talk about it and asked casually."

But he was thinking in his heart that Fang La was secretly the leader of the Ming Cult, recruiting followers, but on the surface he was still the master of the lacquer garden. He never revealed his identity at all, but it was exactly the same as his previous plan. He had the same identity overtly and covertly.
"Zhang Zhaizhu, Manichaeism is quite mysterious. If possible, it is better not to have contact with it." Pang Wanchun advised.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "That's what Brother Pang said."

Pang Wanchun saw that he didn't seem to take it seriously and stopped talking.

For a moment, the five people fell silent.

Zhang Zhengdao saw that the bonfire was a little small, so he filled it with more firewood, leaned against a tree trunk, closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing him like this, Pang Qiuxia looked at Pang Wanchun who was silent again, sighed in her heart, closed her eyes full of worries, and rested against the tree trunk.

In a trance, Pang Qiuxia dreamed of many things. One moment, Pang Wanchun was pierced by thousands of arrows and died unexpectedly; the next moment, Zhang Zhengdao stood on the top of the mountain, his whole body shining with golden light, as if struck by thousands of thunder and lightning; the next moment, he saw the flowers and candles in his bridal chamber, that

The groom's face is blurry, and his appearance cannot be clearly seen.

In short, the dream was full of strange things, until she finally dreamed of herself, her whole body was cold, as if she was lying in an ice cellar, her breathing became rapid, and she heard someone calling in her ears, and Pang Qiuxia suddenly opened her eyes.

It was already bright, and Pang Wanchun was standing aside, grooming his horses, and shouting loudly.

"Sister, it's time to get up and hurry up!" Pang Wanchun trimmed the reins of the two horses and clapped his hands.

Pang Qiuxia was a little confused. She looked around and realized that there were only two of her and her eldest brother, and two strong horses were eating leaves.

And the figure of Zhang Zhengdao has long since disappeared.
