When the masters who arrived at the scene later carried back the "letter" left by Hu Yuan, Yuan Meng, who had already gathered in the court, immediately challenged King Ruyang and asked him to explain what the so-called "bet" was.
King Ruyang had no choice but to tell the story of the bet with Hu Long.
The ministers were furious and accused King Ruyang of betting on the emperor's life and death. It was really a treasonous act. Now that the emperor was killed, it would be difficult for King Ruyang to atone for his crime.
At that time, someone was ready to take advantage of this to capture King Ruyang.
Seeing this, Tuotuo hurriedly brought up another matter to draw everyone's attention as a way to delay the attack.
He asked the ministers whether they should fulfill their bet and release the people from various martial arts sects imprisoned in Wan'an Temple.
The ministers first spoke harshly and rebuked Tuotuo, saying that Tuotuo wanted to surrender to the rebels. Such an act of losing power and humiliating the country was not worthy of being the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty.
Then some smart people suggested using these people as hostages to force Hu Huan to surrender, otherwise he would kill them all.
In this case, it would be best if Hu Yun was willing to submit, otherwise he would become the murderer who indirectly killed these people.
The family members and friends of these people did not dare to resent and retaliate against the imperial court, so they could only direct all their hatred towards Hu Long.
The King of Ruyang looked down upon these people who did not understand Hu Yuan at all and could only take it for granted and talk about it. If this method is effective, then it is their turn to use it?
He said Hu Long's harsh words with a cold face and asked everyone if they were prepared to deal with Hu Long's assassination. Everyone was silent and did not dare to say another word.
At that time, King Ruyang and Tuotuo looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Neither of them expected that they would have to rely on the reputation of a rebel to suppress the officials.
It wasn't until daylight broke that the courtiers who had been arguing for half the night finally made a decision - announcing that the emperor had died of a sudden illness, and that the crown prince would be the emperor. At the same time, the people from various factions imprisoned in Wan'an Temple were released, so that Hu Long, the god of plague, could be sent away as soon as possible. .
People from various factions in Wan'an Temple left Dadu in confusion, not knowing what happened.
Although they suffered a lot this time, the casualties were not very serious.
At that time, King Ruyang asked experts from the Persian Ming Cult to arrest people. In order to catch more people alive, he also provided a strange poison called "Shixiang Ruanjin Powder".
Shaolin, Huashan, Kongtong, Kunlun and other large and small sects were poisoned in their tea, wine and food without checking in advance, and they were captured after losing the ability to resist.
Only the Emei Sect noticed something strange because of the newly minted Grand Master Miejie Shitai, so the masters of the Persian Ming Cult who were lying in wait had no choice but to attack forcefully.
Master Miejie was so angry that he used the "Yitian Sword" from the master swordsmith to kill several masters of the Persian Ming Cult in succession. It was not until the two masters Jingfeng and Shanmu arrived that they were finally defeated and captured.
Several of the Emei disciples who followed her were killed in the battle, and the rest, including Ji Xiaofu and Yin Liting who came to see her off, were all wounded and exhausted before being captured.
Therefore, now only Ji Xiaofu, three other female disciples, and Yin Liting are left with Master Miejie, and all of them are injured and walking with difficulty.
"Blessings Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, long time no see!"
Not far from Da Da Da, a clear and clear signal came to everyone's ears.
Everyone looked around and saw Hu Long standing by the road with a smile on his face, looking leisurely and calm.
"It's Taoist Hu Long, could it be..."
The people present were all old Jianghu, their brains were spinning quickly, and they immediately made guesses about the reason for their release.
Hu Yuan came forward to greet everyone. He first took out the healing elixir and gave it to the four masters and disciples of the Emei Sect and Yin Liting, and then invited everyone to talk to the roadside.
Yin Liting couldn't wait to ask: "What did the Taoist priest do to force the Tatars to send gifts like us out of Dadu?"
Hu Long said as if nothing had happened: "Last night, Pindao entered the palace and beheaded the Tatar emperor with the 'Dragon Slaying Sword'. He killed a total of six masters at the Grand Master level. With this lesson, those Tatar dignitaries If you don't want to be visited one by one by poor Taoists, you have no choice but to let him go."
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.
When everyone was shocked, Hu Long raised his hands to Shaolin Abbot Kong Wen and said: "I would like to apologize to Shaolin here. The three elders of your sect, Duhe, Dujie and Dunan, were coerced by the Tatars to protect the emperor. After Pindao succeeded, he teamed up with two sages from the Persian Ming Cult to besiege Pindao. With one against five, Pindao really couldn't hold back, so..."
"Namo Amitabha!" The Shaolin party chanted the Buddha's name in unison, with sad faces on their faces.
The rest of the people looked at Shaolin with increasingly unkind eyes.
Everyone already had opinions about the Shaolin Sect because of Cheng Kun's incident, and now they learned that the Shaolin Sect had quietly made a deal with the imperial court when Da Jifu was imprisoned. They all thought in their hearts, how could they afford to act like this? What is the name of the leader of the righteous path?
Seeing that Hu Long's words once again made the Shaolin sect the target of public criticism, Kong Wen complained in his heart, but with a look of compassion on his face, he clasped his palms together and saluted Hu Long and said: "Because the Tatars are threatening the lives of people from various sects in Wan'an Temple." , the three uncles had to make excuses. Now they are freed by the hands of the leader Hu Yun. It is really a matter of seeking kindness and benevolence, and the leader Hu Yun does not need to worry about it. "
This old monk can become the abbot of Shaolin. He is really a powerful person. In a few words, the deal between Shaolin and Yuanmeng was made so upright and awe-inspiring, and it was even hinted that Sandu had actively begged for death to achieve Hu Long's shocking achievement.
However, he also knew that this rhetoric could only stop everyone's mouth but could not convince everyone's heart.
Under the eyes of people from various factions who were either resentful or contemptuous, he clasped his hands and saluted in all directions, saying with a sad expression: "Shaolin has suffered such a catastrophe and is no longer able to benefit the people. The mountain will be closed for ten years to recuperate. From now on, the world will Everything depends on you."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, he led a group of Shaolin monks and walked away quickly.
Everyone first looked at the backs of Shaolin and his entourage, then looked at each other in silence, and in the end did not attack.
After being silent for a while, Master Jiejie saluted Hu Long and said, "Taoist Hu Long, can you take out the 'Dragon Slaying Sword' and let the poor nun have a look at it?"
Hu Long did not shy away from it, and played a trick out of thin air in front of everyone. He pulled out a huge "Dragon Slaying Sword" from his sleeve and presented it to Master Miejie with both hands.
Master Jiejie took the sword in his hand, caressed the blade and sighed: "'The supreme king of martial arts, he slays dragons with his precious sword, and orders the world, no one dares to disobey'. These four sentences have been circulated in the world for a long time, and it is only today that a Taoist priest uses this precious sword to Completing the great cause of slaying the dragon fulfills the last wish of the great hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong. Since the sword has the power of slaying the dragon, it should have the power to command the world. From now on, when I see this sword in Emei, I must obey the order. Do not Dare you disobey!"
After saying that, he handed the sword back to Hu Long with both hands, bowed deeply to the sword and Hu Long holding the sword in his hand, turned around and left with his disciples.
"I, the Wu-Tang Clan, are the same!"
Yin Liting said something, saluted "Dragon Sword" and Hu Huan, and hurried after them. It seemed that they were going to continue to "send off", maybe even to Emei.
He Taichong, the head of the Kunlun Sect, quickly sorted out the interests and harms. Now Taoist Hu Yuan beheaded Emperor Yuanmeng in the name of rescuing people from each sect.
Yuan Meng couldn't help Hu Yuan, so he asked Qiu Hou to settle accounts and vent his anger on himself and others.
The only solution for now is to board Hu Yuan's thief ship and fight against the Yuan Dynasty until the end.
And since he was going to board the ship, the sooner the better. The old nun had already taken the first place, but he could no longer give up the second place to anyone else.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately stepped out of the queue, bowed his hands to Hu Yuan and said: "I, the Kunlun Sect, are also willing to obey the command of the 'Dragon Sword'!"
Following this example, the Kongtong and Huashan factions immediately expressed their support, and other large and small sects gathered to respond.
In this way, the so-called "Supreme King of Martial Arts, Slaying Dragons with a Precious Sword" finally lives up to his name.
