"You might as well just kill him."

The third uncle picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp before he spoke.

"Murder violates the court's laws. I'm not that kind of person."

"Ha!" This time it was the third uncle's turn to sneer, or rather laugh at the old beggar, "From the moment your ancestors wore the yellow turban, they have been imperial prisoners for generations, how could a imperial prisoner care about that?" The law, the joke, it's a big joke."

"Although the imperial court regards me as a criminal, who in the world can catch me, you?" The old beggar seemed to have lost interest in the young man suddenly, he loosened and flicked his right hand, at least he weighed two hundred catties The young man flew out from under the shed like a piece of paper. He obviously fell outside, but he couldn't hear the sound of landing.

"Let him go, aren't you afraid that he will reveal your identity?"

"I've said it all, no one can catch me, and neither can you." The old beggar clapped his hands, and took out the wine jug at the counter to drink, but the gurgling wine didn't leak a single drop However, most of the jar of wine entered the old beggar's stomach, and it was only a blink of an eye.

"What an awful drink!"

The empty jar was put back in place by the old beggar, but what he got in exchange was only the old beggar's complaints. This kind of behavior is really just like what the third uncle said, and it deserves to be wanted by the court, but the old beggar has a bigger background. Zhang, however, did not come from the Zhang family among the five kings with different surnames. It is said that his family developed earlier than the five kings with different surnames.

At the beginning, Zhang Jiao used the "Taiping Dao" to attract many people to Taoism, and the Taoist gates he created once spread all over the country, and there were many masters from all walks of life. It is said that when the scale was the largest, there were more than a hundred warriors in the innate realm alone, and they conquered many towns in the empire. , to separate one side.

However, with the gradual mobilization of the empire's military power, the Yellow Turban Army, which was only filled with peasants, soon fell into a defeat. In that overwhelming battle, no matter how high the individual force is, it will not help. Although the Yellow Turban Army has many masters, it still falls short in the end. , the whole line was defeated, a large number of masters were killed, and the rest fled for their lives. Some people never showed their faces in the Central Plains in order to escape the court's arrest.

It is said that apart from the strong backlash from the imperial court, another important reason for the defeat of the Taiping Army was the death of Zhang Jiao.Back then the Taiping army announced that Zhang Jiao died of illness, but Zhang Jiao's martial arts were at the lowest level and he was a martial god, so how could he be killed by a minor illness?
Many people suspected that Zhang Jiao's death should have been done secretly by the imperial court, and several martial gods and even burglars were dispatched to infiltrate the Taiping army camp and kill Zhang Jiao.As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. With Zhang Jiao's death, the entire Taiping Army would be leaderless. Some high-ranking generals would kill each other in order to seize power. At least they were on guard against each other.

It can be counted that the rebellion led by Zhang Jiao lasted for an extremely long time, and it also brought huge losses to the court, but it was precisely because of such a rebellion that it exposed the shortcomings of the court in many aspects, which prompted the royal family to resign after the rebellion ended. Drastic reforms were carried out, which made the whole country run more smoothly, and actually improved the living standards of the majority of ordinary people, which led to the prosperity of the next few hundred years.

Therefore, in a sense, Zhang Jue is indebted to this dynasty, but the damage he caused probably outweighed the favor he brought, so not only Zhang Jue himself was permanently nailed to the pillar of shame by the court In fact, even his descendants were declared as wanted criminals by the court, and they would never be freed.

Zhang Qing is the old beggar's name. How many years ago he and the third uncle met, I'm afraid they don't remember either of them.The third uncle is already a person who can't see the light very much, and Zhang Qing dare not even mention his name outside, otherwise a large number of court masters will follow him, even if he may not be able to catch him, but At least he will pester him so much that he doesn't even care about eating and sleeping.

So it was normal that the two hadn't seen each other for many years, and neither of them expected to run into each other here.

Zhang Qing is very clear about what the third uncle is busy with in this life. It just so happens that what he is going to do this time overlaps with the dream of the third uncle in his life, so when he found out about the third uncle, he took the initiative to come out and want to meet with the third uncle. face.

However, there is always a huge gap between ideals and reality. Zhang Qing thought that his calculations should be correct, but ignored his own identity, which would bring great trouble to Third Uncle.To put it simply, although the third uncle is a person who doesn't want to see the light now, the court doesn't care about the third uncle, and even the royal family like Princess Qingping can still have a certain degree of relationship with the third uncle in certain things. Cooperation.

If the third uncle wants to continue to maintain his state of life, he must never interact with people like Zhang Qing. Once the court knows that he and Zhang Qing are working together, then no matter what his identity is in the past, what attitude he belongs to in the court records , will be labeled as a "rebel" immediately, not only will he suffer, but even his children and grandchildren will be harmed for thousands of years.

As if he knew what the third uncle was thinking, Zhang Qing laughed and said, "I haven't shown up for 50 years, and the little emperor may not recognize me anymore. Why are you so worried? You and I will join hands. So what is the church?"

It turned out that Zhang Qing's target was also the holy church. I don't know if he also received the news from the nearest holy church, so he couldn't help but come out even though he had been hiding for 50 years.

"You are really ignorant, that's why you are so fearless, you and I can break into the church by force? It's a joke, it's a big joke!"

"There is only one Guan Moyun in the temple who is worth fighting, and everyone else is a chicken and a dog!"

Zhang Qing's words undoubtedly proved that his own realm must be on the same level as Guan Moyun's.And he directly called Guan Moyun by name, which also showed that he should have met Guan Moyun.

In fact, not only did Zhang Qing meet Guan Moyun, but the third uncle also met Guan Moyun. After all, everyone is considered to be the top group of people in the martial arts, and it is possible for them to meet each other.

If Guan Moyun is the only warrior in the entire holy hall, then with the level of Zhang Qing and the third uncle working together, it should not be a big problem to sweep the holy hall, even if there are ten elders in the holy hall, but these elders Martial arts are at the level of martial gods, once the third uncle or Zhang Qing gets serious, it's not enough to watch.

However, the third uncle obviously knew more than Zhang Qing, so he did not agree with Zhang Qing's aggressive plan, and even began to wonder how Zhang Qing had escaped the court for so many years. Generals and generals could easily surround and kill Zhang Qing.

"Could it be that the imperial court is also leading snakes out of the hole, and there are other people hiding behind Zhang Qing?" Thinking of this possibility, the third uncle's eyes on Zhang Qing changed slightly.For masters in the realm of burglary, even a slight change in their eyes can trigger the other party's touch. The third uncle's mind changed, and Zhang Qing immediately felt it, and immediately said:
"Are you going to run?"

"No, I'm just full and I'm ready to go." Seeing that his intentions had been seen through by the other party, the third uncle stopped pretending and stood up and turned around. His voice was still lingering in the shed, but a figure had already appeared ten feet away. outside.
