"Brother said that you are in a difficult situation, so let me give you some mercy."
Pei Xuan said directly that he was not willing to show favoritism. In his creed, the law was ironclad, but people always had feelings. When Sun Lei spoke for the first time, he couldn't refuse. He could only come and watch the flowers silently. Rong lets the prisoner go.
"Hua Rong is making things difficult for brother!"
Hua Rong looked in the direction of Liangshan, and it turned out that all this was what Sun Lei had expected, but Sun Lei did not block it, but chose to help him.
"It's really hard to do. This is the first time my brother has shown favoritism since I went to Liangshan."
Pei Xuan looked at Hua Rong and said.
"Pei Kongmu, take me down."
Hua Rong smiled bitterly and stretched out his hands, ready to let Pei Xuan lock him up. He didn't want to make it difficult for Sun Lei.
"Huazhizhai, if I take away your lock, wouldn't it make my brother's face even more ugly? On such an important day tomorrow, if I take you away today, where will Liangshan's face be put?"
Pei Xuan looked at the chain in his hand, then looked at Hua Rong and said.
Hua Rong smiled bitterly again. He was really in a dilemma now. The consequences of this hot-headed decision were too serious.
"It's better to go see my brother. It's up to my brother to decide on this matter."
Pei Xuan turned around and headed towards Liangshan. Hua Rong smiled bitterly and followed silently. What he had to face would eventually have to be faced.
All of this was seen by Li Zhu who was above the Longmen Inn. Seeing everyone leaving, he just smiled and took a sip of wine.
The next day, Liangshan turned into a sea of red, with red lanterns and red ribbons all over Liangshan and extending to Liangshan Town.
"Sun Lei is really arrogant."
Fang Jie looked at everything in front of him with a sneer on his face. A bandit leader who made such a big noise seemed to have a long life. Others were keeping their tails between their legs, but Sun Lei was the only one who didn't know whether to live or die.
"Isn't this better? The imperial court will only pay attention to Liangshan. We Mingjiao can prepare money, food and weapons with peace of mind. In more than half a year, the weapons will be almost ready."
Du Hui said with a smile. He was a blacksmith, and he was responsible for making ordnance in the Mingjiao. Once completed, with one move of the Mingjiao flag, hundreds of thousands of believers could occupy the south of the Yangtze River and establish a country and claim the title of emperor.
"Haha, let's go, let's go and congratulate Sun Lei. Flowers are blooming, and fire is cooking oil. I want to see how he died!"
Fang Jie burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"By the way, where are Protector Deng and Lord Lou? Why are they nowhere to be seen? Could it be that they were bewitched by Liangshan?"
Fang Jie looked at Du Hui and asked. Deng Yuanjue and Lou Minzhong were not with him these two days, which made him very dissatisfied. Although Fang La didn't say who was in charge when he came to Liangshan this time, as the nephew of the leader Fang La, he was the Mingjiao's nephew. One of the guardians should be the leader of this team.
"Going out early in the morning."
Du Hui said.
"Hmph, what's going on! Have you forgotten the rules of respect and inferiority!"
Fang Jie was a little angry. The most important thing in a church is dignity and rules. This is more important than right and wrong. Deng Yuanjue and Lou Minzhong, as senior leaders of the Mingjiao Church, should realize this.
"Protector Fang, those people from Huaixi are here."
Du Hui whispered to Fang Jie.
"Um?"
Fang Jie squinted his eyes and looked at Li Zhu, Du Bo and others who came out of Longmen Inn.
"Mr. Li is also going to watch the ceremony?"
Fang Jie looked at Li Zhu with a smile. This visit to Liangshanbo was not without success. At least he found that everyone in Huaixi had extraordinary skills, especially the leaders Li Zhu and Du Bo. Their martial arts were so high that he did not dare to underestimate them. .
What Fang Jie cares about most is the people in Huaixi. If these people can be recruited into the Mingjiao, the strength of the Mingjiao will be greatly increased. They will no longer be afraid of Liangshan, and they will be more sure of future uprisings.
"Protector Fang is also going?"
Li Assistant looked at Fang Jie and asked.
"Fang Jie was entrusted by the leader to send some congratulatory gifts."
Fang Jie pointed to the boxes next to him and said with a smile.
"oh?"
Li Zhu looked at the boxes thoughtfully. He was not familiar with Fang La. In fact, he was not familiar with the entire Mingjiao. He was proficient in the art of linen physiognomy and was somewhat resistant to the religious theory of ghosts and gods. He preferred to learn from yin and yang. Two poles, five elements and eight trigrams, appearance, luck, etc. are used to infer things.
"Mr. Li, everyone in Huaixi is such a hero, it is a pity not to do something big. Our Ming Cult is very hungry for talents, and the leader has opened the door to facilitate us. If you are willing, you can join our Ming Cult, be an altar leader, and worship Holy King of Light!"
Fang Jie looked at Li Zhu, Du Bo and others with a smile and said.
"Huh, who is the Mingjiao? How dare you let my uncle join the religion? Why don't you let that Fang La come to Huaixi, and I'll give him a hilltop! Become the leader of the village!"
A young man next to Li Assistant said coldly, Fang Jie's words of solicitation sounded very harsh to their ears. What does it mean for them to join the Ming Cult? Worship the Holy King of Light? Are the people in Huaixi worse than the Mingjiao? Do you want to join the religion and be led by Fang La?
"Who are you? How dare you speak rudely to my Ming Cult!"
Zhang Jian beside Fang Jie stared at the young man and said.
"Huaixi, Li Yan!"
Li Yan looked at Zhang Jian without showing any signs of weakness and said.
"So brave, I hope you have the courage to go to the ring tomorrow!"
Fang Jie didn't expect that his words of solicitation would offend everyone in Huaixi. However, as a protector of the Ming Cult, he couldn't show weakness. Getting angry here would be incompetent rage. Since he is a figure in the world, he will be seen in the ring tomorrow.
"I'll teach you the clever tricks of the Ming Cult tomorrow!"
Before Li Yan could speak, Yuan Lang beside him spoke first.
After hearing this, Fang Jie sneered and left. This is Liangshanbo. If he were in Jiangnan, he would kill him directly if he failed to recruit him. If he could not be used by the Mingjiao, he would be dead.
"This Fang Jie has steady steps and restrained momentum. He is a master."
Yuan Lang whispered to Li Yan and others. Li Yan is Li Zhu's nephew. Although he has martial arts, he is not Fang Jie's opponent.
"The Mingjiao is really not simple. Fang Jie seems to have such martial arts at such a young age, but his temperament is a bit lacking."
Du Bu said, Fang Jie's words were full of arrogance. How could heroes like Huaixi agree to such a condescending invitation?
"Let's go. Everything just begins today. This Heroes Conference is getting more and more interesting."
Li Zhu squinted his eyes and said, there was another meaning in Fang Jie's words just now, Mingjiao will soon gain momentum.
"I heard from Jeju that Hu Yanzhuo has brought a large army."
Ma Xi said, the news had spread throughout the inn, and Hu Yanzhuo's army would attack Liangshan on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month during the Heroes' Conference.
"What's so scary? It's coming when it comes."
Li Yan said nonchalantly that with their methods, Hu Yanzhuo and his 10,000-strong army were nothing. Even if they couldn't defeat Hu Yanzhuo head-on, there would be no problem in withdrawing.
"It depends on how Liangshan responds. If Hu Yanzhuo and an army of ten thousand can't solve it, then Liangshan can't do anything more than that."
Li Zhu shook his head and said, "The people who came to Liangshan to participate in the Heroes Conference this time are all powerful people, and no one is afraid of the imperial army."
"Chao Baozheng, I didn't expect to meet him here."
Song Jiang, who had just rushed back to Liangshanbo, happened to meet Chao Gai and walked over with great joy.
"Song Gongming, it's really you!"
Chao Gai was also overjoyed to see Song Jiang. Song Jiang could be regarded as his savior. If not for Song Jiang's tip-off, he would not have been able to escape, and later he would not have been able to save Bai Sheng.
