Ling Feng used the pass token to leave Shaoyin Mountain and realized that seven days had passed, so he hurried to Prince Wu's Mansion.
An hour later, Anyuan County, Prince Wu's Mansion.
Concubine You, the three Mu sisters, and a dozen charming women followed Ling Feng into the palace. The dragon guards and personal guards all saluted and said, "See King Wu!"
Concubine You smiled and said: "Ling Feng, I didn't expect that you are still a prince. Do you want to consider recruiting some princesses? I think those three sisters are quite good."
Ling Feng glanced at her and said coldly: "Shut up, otherwise you won't even think about the 20% benefit."
Concubine You suddenly stiffened her face and shut her mouth obediently. Mu Yunying saw Concubine You deflated and suddenly laughed, causing the other party to roll her eyes.
Immediately, two Dragon Guard commanders, Lin Ziyi and Hu Tie, came to greet them. They sensed the unfathomable powerful energy in You Fei and Mu's three concubines, and they were all shocked. They didn't expect that Ling Feng was still hiding such a secret. A powerful master. Immediately, they clasped their fists and said, "See you, Lord!"
Ling Feng said: "No need to be polite, Hu Tie, please settle them first. Ziyi, let's go to the hall to discuss matters."
Immediately, Hu Tie sent someone to arrange accommodation for the girls.
After a while, Ling Feng and Lin Ziyi came to the hall.
Ling Feng asked: "How is the situation?"
Lin Ziyi said: "Now, Qinghe Sword Sect, Golden Sword Sect, Kayaba Temple, Mudan Pavilion and other county sects, aristocratic families, officials, and gangs have all expressed their surrender. Only the three major aristocratic families in Cangzhou, Song, Han, and Liu, and The Great Vajra Temple, Xiaoyao Houfu, Cangzhou Governor Wei Ruiyang, and Cangzhou Wulongwei Commander Lu Shangxian did not express their positions."
Ling Feng said with a cold face: "No one can escape from this battle. They are either friends or enemies! Immediately mobilize three thousand elite troops and surround the Great Vajra Temple!"
Lin Ziyi's heart trembled. If the Great Vajra Temple didn't understand the situation, it would probably be destroyed, because Ling Feng needed to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and subdue the major forces.
…
In the afternoon, Taicang County, outside Cangzhou City, Qingliang Mountain, Dajingang Temple.
The Great Vajra Temple is the top first-class sect in Cangzhou. It has produced peak martial arts masters like King Kong Venerable. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Cangzhou, with profound heritage and flourishing incense. Both the size of the temple and the number of experts are nearly ten times that of Kasyapa Temple.
At this time, there were fewer and fewer pilgrims, and a sweeping novice began to clean the temple door and steps as usual.
Suddenly, a large group of elite soldiers with bright uniforms came quickly and surrounded the exit of the Great Vajra Temple. Looking into the distance, one could see densely packed soldiers approaching rapidly, with thousands of soldiers and horses.
"not good!"
The novice monk was shocked, dropped his broom, and hurried to report the incident.
As news came that a large army was besieging the temple, Abbot Kuchan quickly called the heads of Luohan Hall, Discipline Hall, Bodhi Courtyard and other departments to gather to discuss countermeasures.
The leader of Luohan Hall, Ku Mie, suddenly looked angry and said: "What are you still discussing? I will take the five hundred disciples of Luohan Hall down the mountain and destroy them now!"
As the largest Buddhist temple in Cangzhou, the Great King Kong Temple is naturally powerful. The five hundred elite disciples trained by Luohan Hall are all masters above warriors, and 20% of them are acquired masters and innate martial arts masters, and they all wear strong armor. , well-equipped, capable of defeating thousands of officers and soldiers in just half an hour.
Abbot Kuchan glared at him and said, "Junior brother, you didn't even know who your enemy was, so you acted rashly. Wouldn't you be ruining our temple's thousand-year foundation!"
Next to him, the chief monk of Bodhi Temple, Kuxin, also said: "Junior brother Kumie, at this time, all the power in Cangzhou has returned to Lin Feng, the head of the Canglang Sword Sect. The one who can send troops to surround my temple at this time must also have his intention. Before Wu Commander Lin from the palace came to see Brother Abbot and asked us to stand in line. Now Lin Feng has sent people to surround the temple, probably because of this matter. If we go head-to-head, the disaster of destroying the temple is just around the corner!"
Abbot Kuchan nodded and said: "You stay in the temple and ask the disciples not to move rashly. I will go see Master Lin."
Nodding painstakingly, this is the only plan now.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Abbot Kuchan arrived at the foot of the mountain and asked to see Ling Feng.
Immediately, Ling Feng walked over slowly and said with a cold expression: "Has Abbot Kuchan made a decision?"
Kuchan looked pained, clasped his hands and said, "Our temple is willing to close the mountain for a hundred years and ignore this war. Can Master Lin be accommodating?"
Ling Feng couldn't believe them, and said with a cold expression: "Yes, but I will destroy the Dantian of all masters above the innate martial arts master in the Great Vajra Temple and abolish martial arts. Since you want to stay away from worldly affairs and disputes, you should stop practicing martial arts and concentrate on chanting Buddha's name and practicing Zen. , therefore, all the Kung Fu books must also be confiscated."
Abbot Kuchan was immediately speechless. Without martial arts to protect himself, how could the Mahavajra Temple maintain its thousand-year legacy? He pondered for a moment and then said, "Kuchan is willing to surrender."
However, in order to prevent Abbot Kuchan from reneging on his promise, Ling Feng directly found Kuchan and several other martial sect-level monks, and cast the secret technique of the Heart Seal on them before officially withdrawing his troops.
On the second day, the news that Ling Feng sent troops to surround the Great Vajra Temple had already spread. The three major aristocratic families and other major forces knew that Ling Feng was forcing them to take sides.
At this time, Ling Feng had already arrived in Cangzhou City. He went back to the Qingjiao Gang first, and then went to the Liu family.
Liu Yuanzong, the head of the Liu family, immediately chose to submit without saying a word.
Ling Feng was slightly stunned and continued to the Han family.
A moment later, the Han family hall.
Han Yunfei, the head of the Han family, greeted him warmly and said, "Master Lin, please take a seat!"
Ling Feng smiled and said, "How is the Han family leader thinking about it?"
Han Yunfei smiled and said: "Of course we have thought about it. Our Han family has decided to follow the leader Lin. It is difficult to convince the ancestors and several uncles just by verbal alliance. I think it is better to marry. I think Yue'er and you are quite similar. For the sake of familiarity, let her be your concubine."
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless. Marriage was indeed a good idea, but he couldn't bear it when he had a fierce wife at home.
Han Yunfei smiled and said: "I know that Master Lin is a devoted person, so the marriage is only in name. You can explain to my wife."
Ling Feng thought for a moment and then nodded. Immediately, he went to the Song family again.
The condition of the head of the family, Song Wentao, is also marriage, which is of course nominal.
At this time, the three major families had surrendered, and Ling Feng went to visit Governor Wei Ruiyang.
A moment later, the Governor's Palace, lobby.
Wei Ruiyang greeted Ling Feng and sat down, then said, "Your Majesty is here. What's the important matter?"
Ling Feng said: "I know that Emperor Chu Ming promoted Mr. Wei a lot, and it is difficult for you to change your camp. However, there are some things that Mr. Wei may not have thought about. In this world of great struggle, there is only one winner in the end. Two, but not necessarily the imperial court. Your Excellency comes from the Wei family, one of the four great princely families, and you should understand the principle of hedging your bets. If the Chu imperial court loses and the main line of the Wei family is destroyed, there will still be a common branch like you. The pulse remains. On the contrary, the same is true. This is the way for the family to survive. I don’t need to say more."
Wei Ruiyang pondered for a moment and sighed: "Okay, I will join your camp!"
In the bottom of his heart, the interests of the family are still higher than the interests of the court.
