Chapter 673: Vow to kill this beast
It is said that Cheng Gongying was dressed in Taoist uniform, transformed into the true king Chenggong, and received the visiting Sophora japonica amidst the fragrance of sandalwood. While Cheng Gongying was trying to win over Chen Long, he went on and on and told that he had studied under Mount Emei, that he had visited Sichuan and Sichuan when he was young, that he was used to seeing the sufferings of the barbarians, and that he had achieved supreme Taoist teachings.
The so-called Xinxue is undoubtedly an important thought that led the Hu people to revolt, just like "Laozi's Five Thousand Essays" (also known as "Tao Te Ching"), "Five Fighters Classic", etc. to Tianshi Tao or Five Fighters Rice Sect, and "Taiping Jing" The Yellow Turban Army formed with the "Huang Lao" thought on Taiping Road. and
It is also quite strict in terms of organizational structure. Among them, Tianshi Tao respects Laozi as its ancestor, Taishang Laojun, and Zhang Daoling as Tianshi. Those who are new to Taoism are called "ghost soldiers", and the backbone are called "jijiu". "Government" is a missionary unit, and there are a total of twenty-four governments in the world. The Yellow Turban Army used "square" as a unit, with thirty-six squares, each with more than 10,000 people, and the leader was called Qu Shuai. Their common feature is the integration of military, political and religious affairs. I am afraid that Cheng Gongying’s Taoist spiritual thoughts will not have any new ideas.
As for the ideological differences between different branches of Taoism, Chen Long didn't know much about it and didn't want to delve into it. In short, it was just to regulate everyone with doctrines. The personal character of the leader determines the nature of the sect, and there must be good and bad. The combination of Haiqing faction's Bo Diao and Cheng Gongying is probably due to this common ambition.
Cheng Gongying's words were all over the place, Chen Long pretended to flatter him, and pointed out Cheng Gongying's ambition. Finally, Cheng Gongying's golden eyes stopped wandering and revealed his true purpose.
Cheng Gongying said with a bitter face: "It's a pity that Marshal Han misunderstood people's words and suddenly wanted to set up a new military advisor to replace my position as the chief military advisor. If our Haiqing faction's army is squeezed out, our faction's status will be in jeopardy."
Chen Long nodded to express his understanding, and then asked in confusion: "Who is he? That Marshal Han pays so much attention to him?"
Cheng Gongying's golden pupils narrowed, like a frightened Persian cat. He looked at Chen Long and said: "Speaking of this person, he is famous all over the world. In the past, he was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. If it weren't for Chen Long, Long Nonggui, I’m afraid he is already a very human minister.”
Chen Long's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the origin of this person. Sure enough, Cheng Gongying continued: "Dong Zhuo was defeated, and he didn't know how to escape from capture. It can be seen that he has many tricks and insights, and he can predict Chen Long's methods. This is not easy. And. In the battle between Li Jue and Guo Si at Chang'an, he almost succeeded, which shows that he was clever, bold and cautious, and was not afraid of taking risks. Even if he was defeated, he was able to escape, and he also hijacked Chen Long's family on the way. It can be seen that judging the situation, the still water runs deep, and it is difficult to guard against. If this person is not eliminated, I am afraid I will not be his opponent!"
Chen Long already knew who the person Cheng Gongying was talking about, and the blood in his heart couldn't help but surge up. He pretended to be calm and asked: "Who is this person? Could it be Li Wenyou, the great think tank next to Dong Zhuo?"
Cheng Gongying was not surprised. He looked at Chen Long with his golden eyes, suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly and said: "It's a pleasure to talk to smart people! General Huaiyang, are you willing to take action and complete this matter for me?"
Chen Long instantly understood that in the process of killing Li Ru, Cheng Gongying must not use any forces related to Han Sui, let alone assassination organizations such as the Huangzhong Qiang assassins, otherwise once the matter is leaked, he may be left with the opportunity to kill. The evidence is that when the Haiqing sect was in turmoil, this was the real reason for him to win over an outsider like himself. Immediately, he stood up and bowed down without hesitation: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng Gong, for being so considerate! The Sophora japonica is not talented, I swear to kill this wolf!"
Cheng Gongying saw Chen Long's resolute expression and sensed Chen Long's determination to kill Li Ru. Little did he know that Li Ru was Chen Long's biggest enemy, so Chen Long naturally killed him out of sincerity. He immediately stood up and said: "After the matter is completed, Huaiyang, you will be my left guardian! Your position is only below the leader and me! As for the troops under your command, they are still under your control. Haiqing will send money and food at your disposal!" "
Chen Long pretended to shed tears of gratitude, bowed deeply and said, "I dare you not to do your best!"
Cheng Gongying stretched out his hand to caress Chen Long's back as a sign of approval. Chen Long then stood up straight and asked, "The whereabouts of Li Ru, sir?"
Hearing this, Cheng Gongying nodded slightly and said, "I heard that he is hiding in the barren mountain village across the river. You can ask Huang Yan for details."
Chen Long was slightly startled and said, "Huang Yan?"
Cheng Gongying suddenly clapped his hands, and his voice spread far away, and immediately there was the sound of footsteps. The tall guard at the door quickly walked in, saluted and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
Cheng Gongying smiled and said: "Come on, protector Huang, let me introduce you. This is General Huaiyang, and he will be my left protector from now on."
Then he pointed at the person coming and said to Chen Long: "This is Huang Yan, who is now my right guardian general."
In the Han Dynasty, the right was respected and the left was regarded as inferior. In terms of the right guardian's position, it was superior to the left guardian. It was obvious that Huang Yan had the trust of Cheng Gongying and was his close direct descendant. Sure enough, Cheng Gongying continued to introduce: "He used to be a serious Han Dynasty prefect of Jiuquan, with great martial arts skills. When the rebels captured Jiuquan, Protector Huang was captured by the rebels and seriously injured. I saved him. life."
Chen Long pretended to be in awe and said: "It turns out that Protector Huang was once the governor of the Han Dynasty. How disrespectful!"
Huang Yan's handsome face showed a trace of disgust, his beard trembled, and he said bluntly: "Sir, why are you calling me?" He was not even interested in saying hello to Chen Long, and he seemed to have no interest in Chen Long. A trace of trust, but a bit wary of Chen Long's tall figure.
Cheng Gongying smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "You two guardians, please stay closer in the future. The matter of killing Li Ru will be decided by the two of you, and the guardian Huaiyang will be responsible for the execution. Only the three of us know about this matter. If someone spreads the news, I will definitely ask the leader to investigate to the end."
Huang Yan and Chen Long said yes. Huang Yan said to Chen Long: "Li Ru's whereabouts are strange, but he seems to have caught up with Zhang Ji, so he is hiding in the barren mountains behind the Tianshui military camp. The terrain there is quite difficult to travel. One day you and I will go together." Just go explore the road."
Chen Long thought for a while and said: "The night is long and there are many dreams, but how about tonight?"
Cheng Gongying seemed to appreciate Chen Long's positivity very much, and immediately agreed on a place to meet Huang Yan tonight, on the edge of the Wei River. Huang Yan was responsible for dispatching a small boat to cross the river for reconnaissance. After discussing some details, Chen Long was about to salute and leave. Cheng Gongying took out another token from his sleeve and said: "There is also a piece of this yellow guardian. Now, no matter whether the killing of Li Wenyou is successful or not, this token belongs to the Huai Guardian." ”
Cheng Gongying smiled broadly and was obviously very satisfied with Chen Long's performance just now. Chen Long stretched out his hand to take the small token, and felt that his tentacles were cold. It turned out to be a delicate metal token. It was hard but light in texture. It was obviously made with meticulous workmanship. On the top of the token, there is a blue ripple carving of rippling lake water, which should be the symbol of the Haiqing Sect. Chen Long also recognized the two small seal characters in the middle, which are the two characters "Dharma Protector".
Huang Yan's jealous look flashed past and he said: "Congratulations to Protector Huai, you got this card easily."
Chen Long knew the implication as soon as he heard it, and he laughed and said: "Protector Huang, I really haven't made any achievements. I don't deserve Mr. Cheng Gong to think so highly of me! I dare not to die without you!"
Huang Yan's jealousy was still lingering. He looked up at Chen Long and said, "Did you know that with this card, you can mobilize the troops under the commander and the Haiqing faction?"
