Humans are the smartest animals.
We have always known that if a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
A gentleman is one who pursues good fortune and avoids misfortune.
If someone knows that there is a huge danger, but still doesn't think of any way to get out of the predicament, then there is only one thing waiting for him, death.
Sheng Lingren now felt that the worst thing he had done in his life was secretly instigating Xue Qianhe to rob the court's disaster relief official bank. Now Guan Yin was not only recovered by the court, but Xue Qianhe died tragically as a result. The temple he had worked so hard to manage for many years now also became a thorn in the side of the court.
In the whole world, there is no one who is not the king's land; no guest who leads the land is the king's minister.
Sheng Lingren themselves were not only subjects, but also subjects at the feet of the emperor. If you want him to die, then he has to resist alone. It can be said that there is no chance at all.
Although the court is still a little afraid of his strength, after all, he is now the leading figure near the capital. With a roar, he can directly threaten the safety of the emperor and courtiers.
King Xiao is a smart man, and Sheng Ling is also a smart man.
If you are a smart person, you cannot sit still and wait for death.
If you don't want to sit still and wait for death, you must find a way to survive as soon as possible. So Sheng Lingren first asked his men to find a stunning beauty, Li Ying, and place her next to the emperor as the first step to save his life. However, if you only place your hopes on a woman, it is no different than waiting for death.
Who doesn't know that women's hearts are the most poisonous.
Now he helps Li Ying become rich and powerful. If Li Ying is really made a concubine later, she may not recognize him at that time, but she doesn't know for sure.
Men have to rely on themselves.
So, he made a very bold plan that was very likely to destroy both sides. Of course, he would never take such a risky move until the last moment.
He formed an alliance with the barbarian Khan at the border, which was a way out for himself.
However, representatives of the Hu people have already arrived near the capital.
For this reason, Sheng Lingren came up with another plan. He wanted to borrow a knife to kill people and let Hu people assassinate the emperor who was deceived out of the palace by him and Shi Zhong.
However, the Sheng Ling people obviously overestimated the abilities of these barbarians. Although among them there was Suolekang, who was known as the barbarian's best master, he was beaten into submission by just a rain god.
"You should be responsible for our losses." One person said in not very fluent Chinese.
In a mysterious place in the capital, Suolekang finally met the person he was looking for, the Lord of the Temple, Sheng Lingren.
"Haha! Why?" Sheng Lingren asked with a smile.
"Why didn't you tell me that the Han emperor had such a powerful master beside him? For this reason, I lost fifteen warriors. Shouldn't this be your responsibility?" Solekang said obviously very angry. .
"Hmph! You are also a person who has seen the world. You should have thought that there must be some masters around the emperor!" Sheng Lingren sneered.
"That old man is not an internal expert at all, but seems to be a martial arts expert invited from outside." Solekang retorted.
"Yes! You are right, that is the new Taifu hired by Prince Xiao. I only found out about it in the past two days. Before I had time to inform you, you had already taken action. In fact, you didn't know anything about it before you took action. They did it indiscriminately. If you do this, it will implicate me. Why do you still say that I am responsible for your losses?" Sheng Lingren said very calmly, but it was inevitable that he was a bit strong.
"You! Okay! They say you Han people are cunning, and I, Solekang, have seen it today. Okay, since you are not sincere, there is nothing to talk about." Solokang said, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute! Okay, your losses are all on me, that's it! It's just that the wind is tight right now, so I advise you not to come out casually anymore. Also, the beard on your body is too conspicuous, so throw it away. !" Sheng Lingren seemed to have nothing to do with this barbarian.
"The knife is my life. If you lose your life, you can't lose the knife." Solekang said very decisively.
"You just stay in the place I have arranged for you. I will notify you if anything happens, but you should not walk around the capital for the time being without my consent, so as not to cause further trouble." Sheng Lingren warned.
"Then what do you mean now, do you want to join forces?" Solekang was an upright person, not as crooked as Sheng Lingren, so he asked directly.
"Brother Suo, you have also seen that there are many martial arts masters in the capital. If we want to take action, we must take a long-term approach, right? After you go back, I will send you a message, saying that if you take action, please You don’t need to inform me first, I will do my best to cooperate? Now is not the time, so let’s wait and see! What do you think?” Sheng Lingren said patiently to Solekang.
"Okay! I hope you don't play any tricks again." Solokan finally agreed.
"You go back now. I will send someone to deliver all necessary drinks and food immediately." Sheng Lingren said again.
"By the way! What is the origin of that old man, and why is he so powerful? He only uses water as a weapon, but he is more powerful than any magic weapon in the world." Suolekang suddenly remembered Zhang Yu, so he asked Sheng Ling again.
"His name is Zhang Yu, nicknamed Rain God. Decades ago, he was already one of the top masters in the martial arts world. Now that he has returned to the martial arts world, his skills have been improved to a higher level, and the entire Central Plains martial arts world may not be the same. There are several people who are his opponents, so it is not a shame for you to lose at his hands." Sheng Lingren replied.
"Rain God Zhang Yu? Why haven't I heard of this person?" Suo Le asked curiously.
"He has lived in seclusion for many years. Even many martial arts masters in the Central Plains have forgotten his existence. You haven't heard of it. This is normal. The weak water energy he has practiced can defeat the water energy you use and call it dripping water. Strength magic skill. So far, no one can break his dripping strength magic skill." Sheng Lingren added.
"Oh! One more thing, my disciple was injured by the old thief Zhang Yu. Please help me check and see how he is doing now." After Suolekang finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Okay! I will take care of this matter, but you must not mess around again!" Sheng Lingren warned again.
"Okay, I understand." After Suolekang finished speaking, he separated from Sheng Lingren.
As soon as he couldn't get far, several more people gathered around him. Although these people didn't all carry Hu Dao like him, they all spoke in gibberish.
"Chief, how are you?" one person asked in nonsense.
"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back first and then talk." Solekang said in a low voice.
"Master, is there any news about Zahler?" The person who asked this question was none other than Hegao, another disciple of Solekang.
"Still checking. As soon as there is news, Master Sheng will notify us immediately." Solekang replied.
"Will your apprentice Zal betray us?" another barbarian asked.
When everyone heard this, they all became a little nervous immediately. Only you looked at me, and I looked at you, seeming really worried.
"No! My junior brother is very loyal. He will never betray us." He Gao said with assurance.
"How do you know? You are not him, and you have not been arrested..." Suddenly, many barbarians began to quarrel with Hegao.
"What are you arguing about? You don't want to live anymore! If you are discovered by officers and soldiers, you don't even want to live." Suolekang suddenly shouted angrily.
Suo Lele ignored everyone and took the lead to walk to the hiding place arranged for him by Sheng Lingren. The other barbarians stopped arguing and had no choice but to follow him obediently.
After Suolekang left, a young man in golden clothes appeared behind Sheng Lingren. It was Sheng Lingren's adopted son Sheng Moming.
Ever since Sheng Zhiqiang messed up the official bank matter and made Sheng Lingren extremely passive, he now naturally trusts his adopted son Sheng Moming even more.
"Dad, are you really going to be punished? If something happens, there will be no way out. Dad should think twice!" Sheng inexplicably advised his father.
"How come I don't know this. Although King Xiao is temporarily letting Zhiqiang go for my sake, it doesn't mean that he won't settle the scores later. And he knows very well that I am actually the mastermind behind this matter. When he matures, he will inevitably not attack our temple." Sheng Lingren said worriedly.
"Now that the official silver has been recovered, it's actually not a big deal. Why don't we surrender to the emperor and Prince Xiao?" Sheng inexplicably suddenly came up with a very bold idea.
"Surrender yourself? Impossible." Sheng Lingren was obviously a little angry at this suggestion.
"By the way! Where is your elder brother? What has he been doing these two days?" Sheng Lingren suddenly felt that his tone was a bit harsh, so he changed the subject.
"What else can he do besides having fun with the twin sisters?" Sheng replied inexplicably.
"Hmph! He doesn't look like me in any other way, but in this aspect, he is very much like me. But except for this aspect, you are very much like me in other places." Sheng Lingren suddenly sighed.
"Brother, it's just for fun. If dad were more strict, he wouldn't be so presumptuous." Sheng said inexplicably.
"Oh! There's something you have to do for me first." Sheng Lingren suddenly remembered something, so he said to Sheng inexplicably.
"What's the matter? Father, please tell me." Sheng said inexplicably seriously.
"Solekang said just now that one of his apprentices was arrested. You have a good relationship with Prince Xiao. Go and find out for me. By the way, help me find out more about what Prince Xiao thinks about the martial arts conference?" Sheng Lingren commanded.
"I can go to Prince Xiao's residence, but to inquire about Suo Lekang's disciple, it would be better for dad to ask Eunuch Shi." Sheng suggested inexplicably.
"If I can find him, can I not look for him? The emperor was assassinated last time. He stays with the emperor every day now. I can't see him at all for the time being." Sheng Lingren replied.
"Okay! I understand, kid." Sheng agreed inexplicably.
"Is there any news about Qin Gang and the others?" Sheng Lingren asked again.
"It should be there soon! It will probably only be in the next two days." Sheng replied inexplicably.
"Do you think his story is reliable?" Sheng Lingren asked again.
"Did daddy say Wu Xin Dan?"
"right!"
"This kid doesn't know much about me, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. But in my opinion, since they said that Master Meiyun has been controlled, and Master Meiyun happened to be in the capital, why don't dad find a chance to meet Master Meiyun, and explore Find out her background, won't it make it clear?" Sheng replied inexplicably.
"Okay! As you said, I will find an opportunity to meet this senior sister in the next two days and then make plans." Sheng Lingren agreed.
