Tenma, Reborn As a Monk in Japan

Chapter 355 Hostage Exchange

But soon, a bad news reached Zhao Min who was waiting for his servants to report.

"Princess, it's not good. The lord was caught by thieves, and he is now confronting the priests in the mansion. Look..." A servant came to Zhao Min's room and reported.

"What? Father was caught? Where are the guards? What are they doing?" Zhao Min was startled when he heard this, stood up and glared at the servants who came to inform him, and asked repeatedly.

"This..." The servant's face turned pale, but he couldn't tell why.

"Take that guy over there and go out with me." Zhao Min snorted coldly, pointing to Zhang Cuishan who was still sitting at the table and ordered. "Yes." The villain, as if he had been pardoned, quickly agreed and ran to Zhang Cuishan's side. With a blunt mention, he pulled Zhang Cuishan up, who was so weak, and escorted him out of the room with Zhao Min. Beside the people who are confronting at this time.

"Princess." After seeing Zhao Min, everyone relaxed and saluted as if they had a backbone again.

"Fifth brother (fifth brother)!" At the same time, the faces of the Wudang people who saw Zhang Cuishan who was being escorted also changed slightly, and they whispered.

Obviously, he didn't expect that his fifth elder brother (fifth younger brother) would be caught by the people of Ruyang Palace.

"Ruyang King's daughter, Zhao Min, has met Master Zhang of Wudang." Zhao Min greeted Zhang Sanfeng very politely.

"What a handsome little doll." Zhang Sanfeng looked Zhao Min up and down, and smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Master Zhang, for your compliment. It's just that my little girl doesn't know something. If Daoist Master Zhang is so upright and honest, he doesn't enjoy the blessings on the mountain. Why did he suddenly come to Dadu for no reason, sneak into my Ruyang Palace, and become such a robber?" Don't you think it's demeaning?" Zhao Min responded with a smile, straightened his body, and asked Zhang Sanfeng with no weakness.

"Old Taoist, why don't I want to stay on the mountain to practice my way, practice my skills, and ignore the common affairs of the world? But I can't stand someone messing with me, old Taoist, I can't stay indifferent after knowing the location of my beloved disciple and enemy, can I? What kind of Tao and kung fu does the old Taoist practice? Wouldn’t it be better to just find a place to bury himself?” Zhang Sanfeng responded with a smile.

"So, Master Zhang came here this time to avenge his disciple?" Zhao Min suddenly asked.

"good."

"Is it related to my father?" Zhao Min asked.

"It's not directly related." Zhang Sanfeng shook his head.

"Why does that real person make things difficult for my father? How about letting him go?" Zhao Min said obediently, relying on his young age.

"Then why don't you let the surrounding sergeants withdraw?" Zhang Sanfeng asked back.

"Master Zhang, you are No. 1 in the world who has been coercing the world for decades. Without the existence of these soldiers, this princess would not have the guts to stand here and talk to you like this." Zhao Min shook his head and refused.

"Similarly, for the sake of the safety of these apprentices of the old Tao, the old Tao can only brazenly invite King Ruyang to follow the old Tao for a while, until the old Tao and others are safe, and then let him go back." Zhang Sanfeng regretted.

"Speaking of disciples, Zhang Zhenren is not worried about the safety of Zhang Wuxia beside me?" Zhao Min smiled, pointing to Zhang Cuishan who was escorted beside him.

"Master, don't worry about me." Without waiting for Zhang Sanfeng to speak, Zhang Cuishan responded first.

Zhao Min was not too polite, went straight up and kicked Zhang Cuishan's knee, causing him to stagger for a while, then turned around decisively and slapped Zhang Cuishan on the face.

"Snapped!"

"Fifth Brother (Fifth Brother)!" Several people in Wudang glared at each other.

"Then what if I want to exchange the resurrected Zhang Wuxia for my father?" Zhao Min turned around as if he had done an insignificant thing, and still looked at Zhang Sanfeng and the others not far away in a leisurely manner. .

"It's fine, but the location, it can't be in Ruyang Palace." Zhang Sanfeng rolled his eyes, stroked his beard and said softly.

It's like not seeing how Zhao Min treats his apprentice.

"Okay, tell me the location." Zhao Min said cheerfully.

"It's about five miles west of Dadu City. The old Taoist remembers that there is a small hill there. Let's exchange hostages there." Zhang Sanfeng thought for a while, and said that he was in a certain place.

"Okay." Zhao Min said simply.

"Then the old man will take the prince to wait first." After finishing speaking, Zhang Sanfeng shouted to the disciples beside him, and quickly left the palace with King Ruyang who had his acupoints tapped, and rushed to the outside of Dadu City .

"Princess." The commander of the guards of the Ruyang Palace asked for instructions.

"Take him and the guards here, and catch up with me." Zhao Min said.

"Yes."

Afterwards, everyone in Ruyang Palace moved quickly, prepared their horses, and quickly chased in the direction where Zhang Sanfeng and others were leaving.

"Where's Ah Da?" On the way, Zhao Min, who finally realized that there was no one beside him, asked left and right.

"Ah Da is dead. Ah Er was seriously injured, only Ah San was slightly injured, so they came out together." The two elders Xuan Ming responded.

"Do you know why Zhang Sanfeng sneaked into our Ruyang Palace today?" Zhao Min frowned slightly, and asked again the doubts in his heart.

"Judging from Zhang Sanfeng's words just now and his previous performance, it should be as he said, he came here to avenge his disciple." Lu Zhangke replied.

"Avenge my disciple... Ada... you mean, about Yu Daiyan? How did he know about it?" Zhao Min thought about it, connected trivial information together, and couldn't help asking more and more puzzled.

"Then the old man is not clear." Lu Zhangke shook his head.

"But no matter how he knows, just because he dares to lead Wudang disciples to our Ruyang Palace to make trouble, the Wudang faction will not be able to stay." Zhao Min was silent for a while, and then his tone was light but determined. Said.

"The princess means..." He Biweng asked.

"It's also time to clean up the so-called Jianghu forces." Zhao Min replied.

……

Just like that, in the midst of chatting with each other, everyone left the metropolis, which was supposed to have closed the city gate, and came to the hill five miles west of the city that Zhang Sanfeng said, and saw Zhang Sanfeng who was already waiting here and others.

"Let's start the exchange." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Second Elder, please forgive me." Zhao Min said to the Elder Xuan Ming beside him.

"Yes." The elder Xuanming replied, escorting Zhang Cuishan and walking towards Zhang Sanfeng.

The same is true for Zhang Sanfeng, who walked over with King Ruyang.

Then the two sides met, and together they pushed the person in their hands towards each other.

It's just that unlike Zhang Sanfeng who really just pushed people, when the Xuanming elders pushed Zhang Cuishan, they secretly gave Zhang Cuishan a slap, just like they did to Zhang Wuji before, and then Zhang Sanfeng was furious, attacking Xuanming elders, While looking for opportunities to capture King Ruyang.

The Xuanming elders split into two groups in an instant, one stayed behind to fight with Zhang Sanfeng, and the other picked up the Ruyang Dynasty team and rushed back.

Then Dongfang Zhuo, the eight-armed beggar, started to shoot, and restrained Zhang Sanfeng with his superb continuous arrow archery skills, helping Luzhangke escape from Zhang Sanfeng's attack.

"master!"

Chapter 356

"Fire the arrow!" Seeing that the deer stick guest had come out a little bit, Zhao Min decisively shouted to the guards around him.

The bodyguards were originally soldiers of the Yuan army, and they were even composed of the personal soldiers of King Ruyang when he was the commander-in-chief of the army and the thousand-man team. Their martial arts may not be as good as those enshrined by the two elders of Xuanming, but when it comes to military operations, there are really few people present. People are stronger than them!

So Zhao Min gave an order, and they neatly took out their bows and arrows, and shot them in groups, covering the position where Zhang Sanfeng and his disciples were.

"Take Cuishan and leave here." Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng did not hesitate to take revenge, and with a decisive round of his arm, he used his powerful internal strength to fly and deflect the covering arrows, leaving a rescue area for his disciples. After the disciple took Zhang Cuishan with him, they disappeared into the nearby hill together under the cover of night...

"The princess?"

"Don't chase, let's go back." Zhao Min waved his hand.

The Mongols are all cavalry, and it is okay to play chasing battles on official roads. If you go into the forest to play jungle warfare with a group of high-level martial arts masters, it is obvious that you will go there to give away the head. She is not stupid, and she will not do this kind of thing.

Then the guards reorganized their team, protected the newly rescued King Ruyang in the middle of the team, and rushed back to the palace together.

"These gangsters are really not human beings. In the daytime, this king must read a book in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty can teach these lawless gangsters a lesson." On the way back, Prince Ruyang was angry. He cursed angrily with his face flushed.

"Compared to direct punishment from the government, I still hope that my father can get permission from His Majesty to allow you to manage the rivers and lakes. At that time, my daughter will have her own way to deal with them." Zhao Min, who was beside King Ruyang, persuaded softly. .

"You have a solution?" King Ruyang confirmed.

"Daughter is sure." Zhao Min smiled.

"Well, the father will ask His Majesty for the authority to manage the rivers and lakes tomorrow. With today's affairs as a basis, His Majesty will not refuse my request." King Ruyang responded quite confidently.

……

"The cold is poisonous in the lungs. It seems that we can only go to Emei and seek help from that real person." Zhang Sanfeng, who helped Zhang Cuishan to check his body in a mountain temple far away from Dadu, sighed helplessly.

According to common sense, even if Zhang Cuishan did not have the opportunity to cultivate the top internal energy of Wudang created by him because he was away from the Central Plains for ten years—Pure Yang Wuji Kungfu, which purifies and transforms internal energy, the internal energy he has practiced for decades will not let him down. Zhang Cuishan was so easily defeated by Xuanming God's Palm.

But Zhang Cuishan was not in perfect condition at that time, he was in a state of suppressing internal energy brought by Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. As a result, the internal energy that could have resisted the invasion of the cold poison of Xuanming God's Palm was directly suppressed. In Zhang Cuishan's dantian, his performance became worse than that of his son Zhang Wuji at that time——

After all, when Zhang Wuji was attacked, he had internal energy. At most, he was young, and the internal energy was not pure enough, deep enough, and could not exert much effect.It's not like Zhang Cuishan is like an ordinary person now.

So the result is that a first-class martial arts master fell directly into the palm of Xuanming God, so that Zhang Sanfeng had no way to treat him, so he had to ask other people for help.

"To Emei?" Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi and the others looked at each other with an indescribable strangeness in their hearts.

The main reason is that under Zhang Sanfeng's suppression, he has been a martial arts hero for a long time. In the past, he was always praised by others, and he suddenly went to praise others. Moreover, he had an old relationship like Emei, so he felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

But it will not stop Zhang Sanfeng's choice, after all, this action is related to Zhang Cuishan's life, with the brotherhood between them, they will not give up their brother's chance of survival just for the sake of face.

So after dealing with the mountain temple for a night, everyone set off decisively and set foot on the road to Emei...

It can be said that the journey is full of dust along the way.

But I also heard the chain reaction brought about by their trespassing on Ruyang Palace——

First of all, the imperial court has changed the taxation of the big sects such as Wudang, Shaolin in Songshan, and Emei in Shudi from the original tax system to another more exaggerated tax amount that can be said to not give people a way to survive.

Then there is the work of land surveying for various sects, which will also be carried out in a later date.

After that, it is the arrangement of work and rest, and the disciples of these great sects of the rivers and lakes are no longer excluded.

It is equivalent to saying that they are brought back into the management and control, who were originally detached from the outside world.

Therefore, in addition to the policy changes, the imperial court formed an organization that is similar to the six doors in the novel and is responsible for Jianghu affairs. It was handed over to King Ruyang for management. One can imagine.

The following rivers and lakes will definitely become extremely chaotic, and what's more, Wudang will be pushed to the top of the peaks and valleys in this chaos, and become the target of public criticism...

After all, if they hadn't trespassed on Ruyang Palace, how could the court have produced so many moths?

"Master..." Yu Lianzhou, who was resting in the inn, called out to her master with an ugly expression on her face.

"Soldiers will come to block the water and cover it with soil. If I really can't survive, I will disband the Wudang faction at worst. I don't believe it. With the abilities of the old Tao and you guys, can you still starve to death?" Zhang Sanfeng waved it off very freely. Waving his hand, he said with a smile.

"Master, I heard that the rebels in various places are more active recently, do you want to..." At this time, Zhang Songxi on the side put on a thoughtful expression and said.

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Zhang Sanfeng said with a serious expression.

"Yes, master." Zhang Songxi also said seriously.

Then the few people fell silent, and after a quiet meal, they rested for a while, then set foot on the road again, and rushed towards Emei.
