As soon as Zhuge Mingfeng left, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Chai Jin also whispered to Wang Lun and Lu Junyi: "Why are these people from the Green Forest Alliance here too?"
The third elder of the Zhuge family who was sitting here snorted angrily and said, "This Meng Chi is a member of the underworld and has a very bad reputation. What is the purpose of coming to our house at this time?"
The second elder with a pale beard said: "I'm afraid he doesn't have any good intentions!"
"Afraid of what he will do." The fourth elder with a majestic expression shouted angrily: "If he comes here to congratulate you with good intentions, put down his gifts, drink a glass of water and wine, and let him go immediately. If he dares to make trouble, I will chop him with my palm." Got him."
"What other gifts do you want?" said the thin third elder: "Can I accept gifts from people like him? I don't know where they were snatched from."
The fourth elder said the wrong thing, and suddenly blushed, and said: "I don't want a gift from him, I just feel that I can't lack etiquette."
The second elder also came in to interject, but the elder with white hair and beard did not speak from the beginning to the end. He had been closing his eyes and concentrating. At this time, seeing the other three elders arguing endlessly, he opened his mouth and said: "Be calm and don't be impatient."
It seems that this great elder has always been prestigious. As soon as he spoke, the other three elders immediately fell silent and began to concentrate their energy and mind and stopped making any sound.
Wang Lun also knew that there have always been two kinds of black and white in the martial arts world. For example, the four major martial arts families all belong to the white way. Among the eight major sects in the martial arts, the Qilin Sect, Shaolin, Tianshi Dao, and Beggar Clan also belong to the famous sects. Bai Dao.
The Green Forest Alliance, the Black Dragon Society, and the White Lotus Sect, which have the same origin as the Beggar Clan, belong to the underworld. However, among the eight sects, the Xiaoyao Sect is somewhat special. It is neither black nor white, is both good and evil, and is far away from the world. The Western Region has little contact with the Central Plains martial arts and appears extremely mysterious.
The black and white people not only have no contact with each other, but also hate each other. People in the white way can't stand the perverse and unscrupulous behavior of people in the underworld, and people in the underworld can't stand the hypocrisy and pretentiousness of people in the white way. , fishing for fame and reputation, so there has always been incompatibility between the black and white paths. If people from the two paths bump into each other in the rivers and lakes, they will never say anything to each other, and they will only draw their swords and face each other.
Wang Lun himself occupied a mountain in Liangshan and became the king. On the surface, he seemed to be close to the underworld, but what Wang Lun did was actually a white matter. He occupied a mountain and river but never harmed the people. Instead, he often provided relief and shelter to the poor and homeless. People occasionally went down the mountain to rob, but they only robbed corrupt officials. Liangshan didn't keep a penny of the money they got, and all the money was dispersed to the poor people in the surrounding villages and towns.
Therefore, Liangshan has long been regarded as a god in the hearts of the local people. Every family has an incense hall to offer incense and worship day and night. Every household prays for Liangshan, hoping that Liangshan will have good weather and Wang Lun will live a long life.
Most of Liangshan's own financial resources come from Xiaowangzhuang at the foot of the mountain. Since the opening of the market, Xiaowangzhuang has been making money every day relying on trade from all directions and dividend taxes. Moreover, Wang Lun used his experience as a man in two lifetimes to make use of a Shandong village. The convenient location close to the sea has allowed Xiaowangzhuang's business to expand overseas.
Liangshan now has dozens of sea-going ships, has established several ocean-going caravans, and has business dealings with overseas countries such as Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, Java, Siam, etc., buying and selling, and has already made a lot of money. Today's Liangshan is not only as rich as any other country, but also as rich as the best.
Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Chai Jin, Lin Chong and others also knew Wang Lun's character well, so they fell in love with Wang Lun and became close friends and brothers who shared their lives.
At that time, Chao Gai, the leader of the East Road Alliance of the Green Forest Alliance, wanted to invite Liangshan to join the Green Forest Alliance. Although Wang Lun did not want to be under the control of others, Wang Lun also considered that the Green Forest Alliance was a gangster and acted too much. He was ruthless and often resorted to unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. He was deeply disliked by Wang Lun, so he spoke politely.
The black and white paths in the martial arts are like fire and water. As one of the four major aristocratic families in the martial arts world, the Zhuge family will naturally not have any dealings with the Green Forest Alliance of the underworld. Zhuge Mingfeng will definitely not invite the leader of the South Road of the Green Forest Alliance, Huoyun Tianwang Meng. Meng Chi came to attend his daughter's wedding, but today Meng Chi came uninvited, so there must be no good intentions.
Wang Lun knew very little about Meng Chi, so he asked Lu Junyi, "Junyi, do you know anything about Meng Chi?"
"I don't know much." Lu Junyi shook his head and said: "I only know that Meng Chi is the nephew of Meng Xiongwei, the leader of the Green Forest Alliance. He is now in charge of the South Road Green Forest. He has extremely high martial arts. There is a legend in the world about Meng Chi's "Fire Cloud" The palm is so unique that people in the world call it the King of Fire Clouds, and he can be regarded as a top master in the martial arts world, but I don’t know about the other things."
"Master Wang Zhuang is interested in Meng Chi? How about I tell you about it?" The person who spoke was Mr. Mo Shiduo Mo Da, the leader of Hengshan.
Wang Lun quickly raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice from Mr. Mo Da."
Mr. Mo Da twirled his beard and smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Wang Lun's respect and courtesy, and said slowly: "When it comes to Meng Chi, he is definitely not a kind person. Why do people in the world call him the King of Fire Clouds? Only the people in their Green Forest Alliance call him that, and the world only calls him the Fire Cloud Evil God.
Meng Chi had an extremely cruel character and was murderous. The South Road Green Forest led by him also snatched men and women, killed people and stole wealth. They committed all kinds of evil and killed countless people.
It is said that the home base of the South Road Green Forest League is in the Yunmeng Swamp at the junction of the two lakes. No one knows the exact location. However, the power of the South Road Green Forest League is extremely wide, spreading all over the south of the Yangtze River. The people in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered greatly from it. .
This Meng Chi is really a scourge of the evil side. Our righteous martial arts people in the south have also clashed with them many times. They want to eradicate them and eliminate harm for the people. However, the Green Forest League is extremely powerful and they have fought many times, but all to no avail. On the contrary. "
After speaking, Mr. Mo Da sighed, took another sip of wine, and then continued: "There are also rumors in the world that the leader of the Green Forest League, Meng Xiongwei, is now very old and has been suffering from old illnesses in recent years. I'm afraid... Will die soon.
As a result, the position of the general leader of the Green Forest Alliance has attracted competition from all four parties, and the most qualified people in the Green Forest Alliance to sit on the throne of the general leader are the four heavenly kings of the southeast, northwest and northwest. Among these four heavenly kings, Meng Chi The voice is also very loud.
Firstly, it’s because Meng Chi is Meng Xiongwei’s nephew, and secondly, because Meng Chi is not only very skilled in martial arts, but also very capable and very good at winning over people’s hearts. , most of them have been bribed by him, and now less than half of the forces in the Green Forest Alliance are on Meng Chi's side. "
At this point, Mr. Mo Da paused, lowered his voice and said: "But there are also rumors in the world that the old leader Meng has been in poor health in recent years. It is not an old disease at all, but he was poisoned by Meng Chi. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
When Wang Lun listened to Mr. Mo Da talk about the Green Forest Alliance's fight for the alliance leader, he couldn't help but secretly lamented that the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. It seems that he should be careful in everything he does in the future.
While Wang Lun and others were talking, they suddenly heard someone laughing loudly at the door of the hall. The laughter was extremely arrogant. Everyone in the hall looked towards the door, only to see Zhuge Mingfeng walking into the hall with someone accompanying him. Come.
I saw that this man was forty-seven or eighteen years old, with a short stature, a head shorter than Zhuge Mingfeng next to him, but he was extremely stout, had a rough appearance, and had a pair of protruding eyes with a fierce look. He must be Huo Yun, the leader of the South Road Alliance of the Green Forest Alliance. The evil god Meng Chi is dead.
Zhuge Mingfeng raised his hand slightly and said calmly: "Boss Meng, please."
"Brother Zhuge, please go first!" Meng Chi laughed and spoke modestly, but he had already walked into the hall first.
Then the children of Zhuge's family walked into the hall accompanied by hundreds of people, all of whom were Meng Chi's entourage. Some of them were carrying dozens of large wooden boxes.
Meng Chi cupped his fists towards Zhuge Mingfeng and said, "Today is the wedding day for Brother Zhuge's daughter. How could I, Lao Meng, not come to congratulate me and ask for a glass of wedding wine!"
Zhuge Mingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Boss Meng, you're welcome."
"You're welcome, since we're here, we can't come empty-handed." Meng Chi grinned and told the people behind him: "Come on, brothers, bring up our gifts."
The people of the Green Forest Alliance immediately put the eighteen large wooden boxes they had brought into the hall, and then opened the lids of the boxes. They saw that the boxes were full of gold, silver and jewelry. All eighteen wooden boxes were like this. The jewelry in the box reflected the candlelight in the hall, dazzling everyone, and everyone in the hall gasped.
Wang Lun saw that these eighteen boxes of gold and silver jewelry were probably worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Using hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as gifts was really too generous. I'm afraid that Meng Chi's move was definitely not the right thing to do. Came here to congratulate you.
Zhuge Mingfeng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Boss Meng, this gift is too heavy. I can't bear it in the next life. Please take this gift back, Boss Meng."
Meng Chi laughed loudly and said: "We brothers in the Green Forest League are all miserable. Although we have some living wealth, where did we get this much spare money to make gifts? To be honest, Brother Zhuge, this gift is really for the Lord of Dafang Kingdom." Sent.
The leader of Dafang Kingdom is a wise and powerful man, the son of Tianjiao. He knows that Brother Zhuge is the leader of the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River and has great prestige in the world. Therefore, he sent a special young man here today. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Brother Zhuge's great fortune, he sincerely invites Brother Zhuge to serve the country of Dafang. .
The leader of the Dafang Kingdom once made it clear that if Brother Zhuge is willing to condescend and condescend, he will ensure that Brother Zhuge takes the position of prime minister of the Dafang Kingdom. This is a favor that one person can enjoy more than ten thousand people. It can be said that there is no end to the glory and wealth. "
Zhuge Mingfeng was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Who is the leader of Dafang Kingdom?"
Meng Chi kept talking to himself, but he forgot that Zhuge Mingfeng didn't know who the leader of Dafang Kingdom was, so he could only laugh a little, coughed twice, and then said: "It seems that Brother Zhuge doesn't know something, this Dafang Kingdom The leader of the country is Fang La, the original leader of the White Lotus Sect.
Brother Zhuge hadn't heard that the leader of Fangla had started an uprising in Muzhou last year. He had been going like crazy and defeated the army. Now he has occupied 25 counties in eight states in the south of the Yangtze River. Now he has established his own country and named it Dafang. The capital was established in Muzhou, and the reign name was Yongle.
Now just because the Dafang Kingdom has just been established and everything is ready to flourish, now the leader of the Dafang Kingdom, no, should be called the Yongle Emperor, the leader of the Dafang Kingdom, is very thirsty for talents, and is eagerly looking forward to Brother Zhuge, this great sage! "
