The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 218

Leaping onto the No. [-] ring, it was an old man in gray who faced the little Kuafu Chu Liang.

Then he saw that his back was pale and his face was ashen. One could see that he was too old, his vitality and blood were declining, and his time was numbered.

Although the old man jumped onto the ring, his legs were still trembling non-stop, he relied on a bird stick in his hand to support the platform, otherwise he might fall to the ground.

But what is surprising is that when the little Kuafu Chu Liang saw the old man, he showed a panicked expression, as if he wanted to make amends, but also a little panicked, he stepped back a few steps, and said embarrassingly: "Tang, Mr. Tang, why are you here?" gone?"

The old man rubbed his eyes, looked at the little Kuafu, and said for a long time: "It really is you? The old man thought it was a mistake!"

Little Kuafu laughed and said, "Eunuch Tang is not so good at seeing things. With my body shape, I can tell at a glance."

The old man sighed and said, "But it's true, if you weren't so tall and strong, my granddaughter wouldn't have liked it, so follow me back."

Little Kuafu was panicked when he heard the words, he looked around and looked at the audience, and said: "Eunuch Tang, don't you think I'm fighting..."

The old man shook the bird stick in his hand, and said unhappily: "Boy, is it more important for you to fight in this Lao Shizi ring, or to see my precious granddaughter Yuan Bao'er?"

Little Kuafu looked ugly, and rolled his eyes: "...Of course it is important to see Yuan Baoer."

The old man smiled and said: "That's right, boy, why don't you go with me right away, Yuan Bao'er hasn't seen you for a long time, and now the family is in a panic."

Little Kuafu's face was flushed red, and the heroes in the green forest under the stands couldn't help but feel more embarrassed, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back with your old man right now..."

After he finished speaking, he made a gesture, but turned around suddenly at the next moment, stepped off the ring in just two steps, and then ran away.

The old man didn't care, he stood there and shook his head, turned back to the stage and sighed, "The grandson-in-law of this old man likes to mess around outside, and everyone laughed at him, so I'm going to chase him back."

Immediately bursts of laughter came from the audience, the heroes all understood what was going on, it was a family matter, and they all said: "You old man, hurry up and chase, that kid can run so fast!"

The old man tremblingly got off the ring, walked towards the direction where Little Kuafu disappeared, and said to himself while walking: "Sin, sin..."

Seeing this scene in the flower tent, Wang Qing frowned and looked at Li Zhu: "Prime Minister, what's going on, are they coming and leaving whenever they want to the arena of the Gu family?"

Li Zhu stared at the back of the old man with his eyes until the old man disappeared completely, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is a family matter in the Jianghu. You don't have to take it to heart. Since you set up a ring to attract heroes from the green forest, you naturally want to stay. If you can walk, it will appear that your majesty has a big heart and is magnanimous."

Wang Qing was a little unhappy when he heard the words, but he didn't want his family to be magnanimous enough, so he snorted: "But these people are really unruly, but just listen to the prime minister."

Li Zhu smiled and said: "What the king said is that there are indeed some rules missing."

Ring No. [-] was empty at the moment, but after only a few breaths, another strong man jumped up. This man announced his name, and someone challenged him in a short while, and then the other rings were also in feng shui rotation...

The day passed quickly, and there were countless deaths and injuries in the arena, but the kind of master who stunned everyone never appeared. Although the fight was lively, no truly powerful people came to the stage.

Seeing that the time had come, Fan Quan announced on the stage that the first day of competition was over, and then the soldiers below maintained order, Wang Qing and others in the flower tent left first, and then the green forests of the rivers and lakes slowly dispersed.

The three of Zhao Tun went back to the inn in the city, Yao Pingzhong said with his fingers, "I'm afraid there are hundreds of people who climbed the ring today, at least half of them died."

Zhao Tong said indifferently: "It will be even more tragic in a few days."

Yao Pingzhong said with a guilty conscience: "When will the master ascend the ring?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "Look at it, it's a waste of energy to go up now."

The three of them didn't say a few words, the waiter in the inn brought food, Huang Gu tried the food with a silver needle, and it was already late in the evening after eating.

At this moment, there was a light knocking sound from the courtyard door outside.

Yao Pingzhong looked out: "Who will knock on the door so late? Xiaoer's words are always knocking and yelling."

Huang Gu said: "I'll go and have a look."

The small courtyard is not big, Huang Gu walked to the gate of the courtyard within a few steps, he asked, but no one answered outside.

Puzzled in his heart, he cautiously opened the two wooden doors, but found that there was no one outside, and couldn't help frowning. When he closed the courtyard door and turned back, he found something underground.

It was a brown kraft paper seal, which looked thin, because the color was similar to earth, so I didn't notice it when it came out, it should have been stuffed in through the gap in the courtyard door.

Huang Gu took out the black iron sword, carefully fiddled with it a few times, saw that there was nothing unusual, then tested it with a silver needle, and then picked it up.

There is a word on the cowhide envelope, which reads: This is a bright envoy, who will prosper in the world, educate all living beings, and relieve all sufferings.

WTF?Huang Gu frowned, not knowing what it meant.

He then took the letter back to the room and said, "Master, the person who knocked on the door has left, and a letter was stuffed in."

Zhao Tun took the letter and glanced at the words on it, and couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then his expression became strange.

He stretched out his hand to open the cowhide envelope and took out the letter inside, only to see a bunch of densely written words, the beginning of which was: How happy is life, why bother to die.

He read it with interest until he saw the end of the letter, which read: Those who believe in me will have eternal life.

After reading it, Zhao Tang couldn't help smiling, it was Mingjiao, unexpectedly Mingjiao had infiltrated into Luzhou City, and was still secretly poaching Wang Qing's corner.

Zhao Tong knew that with Mingjiao's teachings and temperament, it was absolutely impossible to form an alliance with other forces, unless those forces all believed in Mingjiao and joined Mingjiao.

He put the letter on the table, thought for a while, looked at the two and asked, "Do you know Mingjiao?"

Huang Gu shook his head, but Yao Pingzhong said: "I heard about this when I was in the Western Army. Many people in the Uighurs believed in it, and some people in Xixia, but I don't know about it in the Central Plains."

Zhao Tong nodded: "It was passed down during the Tang and Zhou dynasties, and later Tang Wuzong exterminated Buddhism, and they were exterminated together. These years, it has risen again. This letter is something that Mingjiao confuses people and promotes teachings."

The two looked at each other, and Yao Pingzhong said: "The master is saying that this Mingjiao... is preaching the teachings and accepting believers under Wang Qing's nose?"

Zhao Tong said: "That's it. This Ming Cult is hidden very deeply. There must be a lair in this Luzhou city. Maybe some people in Wang Qing's army believe it."

Huang Gu said: "Master, what does the Mingjiao want to do by doing this?"
