[Comprehensive martial arts] Cannon fodder woman

After Zhao Min and his group left, the Mingjiao people left in no hurry. Not only did they not leave, but they also took a leisurely tour of the island.

"This is the legendary Peach Blossom Island... It's better to see it than to be famous."

"I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to go to the island to have a look today. I will blow it off when I drink with my brothers in the future!"

"This is the residence of the famous Yaoshi Dongxiehuang in the past. It is really extraordinary."

Mingjiao people gathered together in twos and threes, exclaiming strangely from time to time, just like a group of country bumpkins entering the city for the first time.It's a pity that the gold and silver treasures on this island have long been emptied, and now there is nothing to take except the scenery on the island, and the three most precious books are all in Lu Xiaoman's hands.

She doesn't intend to monopolize the three books. First of all, "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" is of no use to them. We all know that the main force against the Yuan Dynasty is Mingjiao. Emei has neither money nor soldiers, and there are not many disciples in the school. Is the girl with thin arms and legs going to the front line?Luan punches can still kill the old master, what should I do if all these people are tossed about by her, how can I spread the branches and prosper the lintel?

As for "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon", it is originally a thing of the Beggars' Clan, and its martial arts moves are masculine. It is not suitable for Emei disciples to practice at all.

So in the end, only the "Nine Yin Manual" is left to be useful, which is tailor-made for Zhou Zhiruo, but this circuit Xiaoman wants her to learn steadily, instead of practicing for a few months by herself like in the book. Version.

She had a plan in her heart, but she didn't say anything on the surface. She would give out "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" and "The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon", but not simple, silent, good deeds without leaving a name According to the method, at least some momentum must be created for Emei.

This is the second task - to carry forward the Emei faction.

Lu Xiaoman and the others took advantage of the opportunity to board the Mingjiao ship and returned. It wasn't long before Zhang Wuji sent someone to invite them. The three entered the temporary meeting hall on the ship and saw that besides Zhang Wuji, there were many high-level Mingjiao officials present.

Wei Yixiao blinked at her secretly when no one was paying attention, and Yang Xiao, who was the spokesperson on the other side, greeted her:

"We came here to respond under the order of the leader. Now that we have chased away the people from the imperial court and retrieved the Yitian sword for Emei, it is considered a good thing. The three of you can rest assured now."

Now that Emei was mentioned, Zhou Zhiruo could only respond:

"This time, I would like to thank Master Zhang for your help. Before my teacher passed away, he repeatedly told me to focus on the overall situation. Now that the Mingjiao is determined to drive out the Tartars and restore the Han Dynasty, I am not talented in the Emei Sect, so I am willing to do my part."

This is a clear intention to form an alliance, Zhang Wuji naturally will not refuse, nodded and smiled:

"Sect Leader Zhou is righteous, so very kind."

Song Qingshu glanced at Lu Xiaoman, although he was a bit reluctant, he still pouted and stood up to express his opinion:

"Master Zhang, Grand Master has always missed you very much. If you lead Mingjiao on the right path and benefit the people of the world, he will definitely support you."

This means that Wudang also agreed to join, but Song Qingshu did not call Zhang Wuji "junior brother", but called him "Zhang Jiaozhu" politely and distantly, which also showed that he was not willing to get too close to Zhang Wuji.Yang Xiao seemed to understand the meaning of his words, but not only did he not follow Song Qingshu, but he said like he was lifting any pot:

"That's right, although our Mingjiao, Wudang Sect and Emei Sect have occasional conflicts, they are actually like a family. We should work together to defend against foreign enemies. This is a good relative and good brother."

Song Qingshu's expression suddenly felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and Yang Xiao was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue when he said this. Look at the wicked things Mingjiao has done over the years: far away is Yang Xiao's senior brother Gu Hongzi who killed his master in anger. , snatching the Yitian Sword and throwing it away, the most recent ones are that he forcibly intervened in Ji Xiaofu's and Yin Liting's marriage, and Yin Susu injured Yu Daiyan and disabled her for life, Zhang Cuishan was forced to death by righteous people after the incident was revealed, and she committed suicide afterward, etc.

One by one, it can be said that they all originated from Mingjiao, but Yang Xiao was right in saying that because of the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation, there is indeed an inextricable relationship between Mingjiao, Wudang and Emei. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are closely related.

Song Qingshu stopped talking, he was "one of his own" after all, and he couldn't just watch him being bullied like this, Lu Xiaoman thought about it and said:

"The ancients said: If you understand the past, you don't remonstrate, and if you know the future, you can pursue it. There is no need to mention the past, such as yesterday's death. In the future, we have a common goal. As Yang Zuoshi said, as long as everyone works together, If you put all your energy in one place, the great cause of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty will surely be able to ride the wind and waves, and advance with great success like this ship entering the sea."

"well said!"

Wei Yixiao was very supportive, he was the first to clap his hands, and the other Mingjiao people also applauded respectfully. Zhang Wuji took a small sip from his teacup, with a smile on his lips.

The three forces verbally settled on the alliance.

Zhou Zhiruo was invited by Xiao Zhao to leave without knowing what to do, Song Qingshu and Lu Xiaoman went back to the room together.

"Looking at Mingjiao's current style, it really seems that the plan is too big."

When he walked to a place where no one was around, Song Qingshu said in a low voice, as a descendant of Wudang with a strong root, he still had a grudge against joining hands with the Demon Sect, even though this "Demon Sect" has almost been wiped out now.

"Why, are you worried that you are seeking skin from a tiger?"

Lu Xiaoman asked half-truthfully, even though Zhang Sanfeng is in charge of Wudang now, Mingjiao would never do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing bridges, but who can say for sure when Zhang Zhenren will be a hundred years from now?In the original book, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, didn’t he also kill the donkey and treat the brothers who helped him conquer the world as rebels?The human heart is the most unpredictable.

Song Qingshu seemed a bit embarrassed, he really didn't like Zhang Wuji, even though he was saved by him, even if everyone praised Zhang Jiaozhu for his kind heart and integrity.There seemed to be no reason for his dislike and guard against Zhang Wuji. It was a mysterious and mysterious feeling. From the first time he saw him, he couldn't have any intimacy with that person.

But it would be too hasty to conclude that Zhang Wuji would do bad things in the future based on this "intuition", and he himself felt that it was unreasonable.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

In the end Song Qingshu just shook his head thoughtfully, and quickly adjusted his mood. He was afraid that his negative emotions would affect Lu Xiaoman, so he racked his brains to find some interesting things to tell her.

The two were leaning against the railing of the boat and chatting, a man and a woman, both dressed in white, the man was handsome and unrestrained, and the woman was elegant and refined, looking from a distance, they were really a pair of talented men and women.

I don't know what Song Qingshu said, Lu Xiaoman suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, the light in his eyes flowed, looking bright, making people unable to move their eyes away.

"..."

Wei Yixiao looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, followed Zhang Wuji cautiously with his head down, but Yang Xiao didn't know where he was thinking, and sighed silently:

"The younger generation in Emei is more talented and courageous than the previous generation." Speaking of this, he couldn't help being a little sad, "If... If Xiaofu had a bit of a heart in the past, she wouldn't have died In the hands of her master."

Wei Yixiao glanced at him, muttering to himself: I don't know if I'm praising or hurting others...

Lu Xiaoman was chatting and laughing with Song Qingshu, Yang Xiao's words seemed to mean that she could deal with it with ease no matter whether she faced Miejue Shitai or other men.

At this moment, Zhang Wuji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a deep sigh:

"She...actually listens to Master very much."

In particular, Lu Xiaoman would not have rushed to sea in such a hurry if he hadn't attached great importance to the various last words left by Miejue Shitai before his death.

——She is always the descendant of Emei.

Zhang Wuji suppressed the gloomy emotions in his eyes, turned around and walked in another direction, Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao looked at each other, and hurriedly followed.

At this time, Lu Xiaoman didn't know that she was misunderstood, but even if she knew, it didn't matter. She made Emei great not for the purpose of exterminating the master, but for herself. I can only say that the content of the last words of the extermination master has something to do with her mission goal. The overlap, but other irrelevant things, such as marrying Song Qingshu and fighting for the Wudang faction, etc., she will not care about it.

So she has always been selective in listening to her master's words, rather than obeying what she says. In fact, Zhou Zhiruo is also the same, but the two of them have a soft temperament and are always easy to talk.

This can also be regarded as a kung fu that uses softness to control rigidity.

Lu Xiaoman chatted with Song Qingshu for a while, and then went back to the room to meditate and rest. Not long after, Zhou Zhiruo also came back, her cheeks were flushed, her expression was shy and nervous, she looked like a real girl with a spring heart.

Her gaze stayed on Zhou Zhiruo's face for a few moments, then she blinked and then retracted it as if nothing had happened.

In the evening, the Mingjiao held a banquet on the boat, saying that it was for the teaching to advocate Wuji, and the three of them, Lu Xiaoman, as the guests, naturally couldn't disrespect the host, so they had to attend. Huddled alone in the corner peeling peanuts to eat.

Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao were sitting together talking, while Song Qingshu was not so lucky. He was being dragged by a group of tall and thick men to fight for a drink, but he turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoman from time to time, as if he had to make sure that she was safe before he could rest assured look like.

"What's the matter with that kid, you really have a private life with him?"

Wei Yixiao swayed to her side, and snorted under the cover of the wine glass.His tone was not serious as usual, and this sentence was just a casual question.

Lu Xiaoman glanced at him, and said jokingly:

"Brother Song is the backer my master found for me, how about it?"

Wei Yixiao was taken aback for a moment, as if realizing something, he frowned unobtrusively:

"Master Miejue couldn't be like this..." Seeing Lu Xiaoman looking at him with clear eyes, neither rebutting nor agreeing, he made several choices and clenched his fists upset, "I'll kill him!"

She covered her lips, opened her eyes wide, and looked very surprised:

"What do you call beating and killing? It's so vulgar."

"........."

Wei Yixiao's face suddenly darkened, he took a few sips of wine in a displeased mood, he wanted to use the wine to stare at Lu Xiaoman imposingly, to teach this little girl who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, a lesson, but when she paired her pair of When he saw the bright eyes with a smile, he suddenly turned off the fire.

Unknowingly, his expression changed slightly.

The wine was getting strong, and the smell in the room was becoming more and more unbearable. There were only three girls present, and the smelly men in this big room mixed with wine and vegetables fermented an unbearable smell.Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo seemed to be making hangover soup, so Lu Xiaoman went to the deck alone to breathe.

The moonlight is pleasant, the sea breeze is blowing, and the silver waves are rippling from the distance, gently beating the side of the ship.A bright moon hangs in the sky, and a full moon is reflected in the endless sea. The sea water is pure and light, shining like brocade.

Compared with nature, human beings always seem very small. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoman is not arrogant or conceited. She just stands under the moonlight and breathes quietly, enjoying the hard-won quiet time.

There were inaudible footsteps behind her, and then her shoulders warmed up, and a soft white fox fur fell on her shoulders. The visitor said softly and restrainedly:

"It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."

Lu Xiaoman didn't look back, didn't even open his eyes, and only asked softly:

"Zhang Wuji, do you want to be emperor?"

After a long silence, the visitor suddenly gave a low laugh,

"Why do I ask, don't you know in your heart?"

"Don't play charades with me." Lu Xiaoman said annoyedly, as long as Zhang Wuji cooperates obediently and doesn't intentionally cause trouble, this task will be guaranteed. She doesn't care who is the emperor, or it doesn't matter who will be the emperor, as long as the person is guaranteed After taking the position, he will not attack Emei.

Thinking this way, she asked:

"Do you know what I found on Peach Blossom Island?" Seeing that Zhang Wuji was silent, she bit her lip and continued to say persuasively, "Before Guo Jing and Huang Rong died in the city, they left behind the Yitian Dragon Slaying Plan. This Peach Blossom Island It stores the martial arts and military techniques they left for future generations, "Wu Mu Sui Shu" is the military book used by General Yue Fei to fight against the gold in the past, and now it is used to fight against the Mongols to the best of its ability, do you think so?"

"If you are willing to give it to me, I will be very happy."

Zhang Wuji responded with a faint smile, his face was watertight, making it difficult for people to see his true emotions and guess what was going on in his heart.

Lu Xiaoman felt that if it was Zhang Wuji, the holy father in the original book, he would be able to believe that he said that he had no intention of being on the throne, but this one in front of him... Seeing how he treats the official partner Zhao Min without any false words, he is so deep-minded. Will people really give up their country for beauty?

What's more, she actually never understood why Zhang Wuji was obsessed with her. He didn't like passionate women like Zhao Min, nor did he like Xiao Zhao's gentleness. He didn't seem too cold either, he said he only likes Lu Xiaoman.

So what exactly does he like about Lu Xiaoman?What kind of person Lu Xiaoman is, I'm afraid she can't even tell herself.

It can only be said that Zhang Wuji's preferences are really confusing.

The two chatted for a while, but they didn't talk about any important points, and they separated plainly.

This time their boat did not return to Dadu, but went directly south to Mingjiao's stronghold there.

There were no pursuers from the imperial court on this journey, but the time was not too short. Fortunately, there were sufficient supplies on board, and no one was short of food or clothing. They sailed on the sea for more than half a month and finally arrived on land.

After bidding farewell to the members of the Ming Sect, Lu Xiaoman and Zhou Zhiruo were ready to return to Emei. Originally, Song Qingshu also said that they would follow, but Lu Xiaoman thought about it, and handed him the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" and asked him to make one. matter.

Five days later, at the foot of Mount Emei.

Senior sister Jingxuan led a group of inner sect disciples here to welcome the head master back to the mountain. Seeing that Lu Xiaoman and the others successfully brought back the Yitian sword, everyone was overjoyed and excited.

"The head and senior sister Lu have returned safely, that's great!"

"I also brought back the Yitian sword, God bless me, Emei!!"

"Now, Master's spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace..."

Everyone welcomed the two of them back happily. When they went up the mountain, they saw that Ding Minjun was teaching others in a strange way:

"If you can't do even a little thing, what use are you for? Why, you think you can be lazy when the master is gone, don't you? Do you take me seriously as a senior sister? I don't know how big or small, I don't know how to be inferior!"

This accusation that Sang Huai's dismissal was obviously aimed at her and Zhou Zhiruo, the smile on Lu Xiaoman's face faded a bit.These days, she has been traveling outside for a long time, and she is physically and mentally exhausted, and now she has to face such an unclear fool when she comes back, and she is really not in the mood to watch her perform.

Zhou Zhiruo seemed to see her impatience, and comforted her softly:

"Senior sister, you go to rest first, I will deal with it here."

As the new head, she still has a lot of affairs waiting for her to deal with, Lu Xiaoman didn't show politeness to her, nodded and went back to his residence in the back mountain.

Although she hasn't set foot in it for several months, her house is still as bright and clean as when she left, and there is no trace of dust on the table, which is obviously cleaned frequently.

Not long after Lu Xiaoman came back, Jingxu who heard the news came to see her:

"Junior Sister Lu, are you doing well on this journey? Thank you for your hard work."

Ever since Wei Yixiao rescued Jingxu last time, this senior sister has been showing great kindness to her. Lu Xiaoman is naturally happy to hear about it, so why not do it if there is one more help?She smiled and shook her head:

"Speaking of hard work, the master sister has done much better than me."

Jingxu was taken aback for a moment, and followed her words:

"Junior Sister Sect Leader is indeed troubled."

Then she talked about some things that happened in Emei during these days, nothing more than Ding Minjun still refused to give up his position as the leader, causing trouble and sowing discord.But Lu Xiaoman felt that Zhou Zhiruo could handle all these, so he let it go and didn't take it to heart.

This time Zhou Zhiruo took back the Yitian sword openly and aboveboard, which can be said to have secured the position of master. Ding Minjun had no choice but to hold his nose and endure it.Two days later, the turmoil about their return gradually subsided, and Lu Xiaoman began to instruct Zhou Zhiruo to practice the "Nine Yin Manual".

Zhou Zhiruo's talent is excellent, she only needs to lead her into the door, and then she can practice by herself, if there is something that cannot be penetrated temporarily, you can ask her at any time.Lu Xiaoman has been with the "Nine Yin Scriptures" for decades, and he knows it best. He can often solve the maze for her with just a few words, and Zhou Zhiruo's practice is advancing by leaps and bounds.

In addition, the head of Emei returned to the throne, and the war was about to start again. Lu Xiaoman wondered if he could take advantage of this opportunity to recruit a wave of disciples.As the saying goes, "Heroes come out of troubled times". When there is a war, many ordinary people can't survive and don't want to become bandits, so they will seek refuge from some sects of the rivers and lakes. There are several towns at the foot of Emei, with sufficient resources. She then selects some good seedlings to teach in person.It is too late to teach martial arts, but it is still possible to teach some surgical bandages, simple medical skills, etc. temporarily, and maybe a group of medical soldiers can be trained.

Just do what you say, after discussing with Zhou Zhiruo, she called the inner disciples to arrange this matter, and finally this task fell to Jingxu and Bei Jingyi.

This was the first thing their new Emei team did after its establishment. Lu Xiaoman still attached great importance to it. She spent the night writing an impassioned "admission advertisement" and handed it to Jingxu, asking her to take it down the mountain to promote it.The specific rhetoric is roughly to blow a wave of Emei first, from the aspects of environment, teaching staff and future prospects, etc., to praise Emei in all directions without dead ends. Hurry up and join Emei, you will definitely become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life in the future!

Jingxu and Bei Jingyi took orders, and brought a dozen or so disciples down the mountain to recruit students the next day.Lu Xiaoman was not idle either. In addition to teaching Zhou Zhiruo how to practice, she also took the time to go through Emei's library and arsenal. Now that there is no Miejue Shitai pressing on it, no one will stop her from doing anything. I had a great time.

On the Emei side, new orders were issued one after another, and the whole school was running at high speed, and everyone was very busy; on the other side, Song Qingshu finally found the leader of the Beggars' Gang with the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" given by Lu Xiaoman. base.

The Beggars' Gang used to be the "biggest gang in the world", and it used to be prosperous, but now that the talents are withering and the gang is weak, it has gradually faded out of the field of vision.Heroes such as Qiao Feng's leader and Hong's old leader in the past have not appeared for many years, and there is no one in the gang, so the Beggars' Gang can only be reduced to a mediocre second-rate sect.

On this day, members of the Beggar Clan were gathering in a ruined temple outside the city for a meeting. A young man with eight rag bags on his body stood on a high platform. He looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Brothers, we all know that the Demon Cult is brutal and bloodthirsty, killing people like hemp. Wei Yixiao of the Demon Cult cannibalizes human blood. The Demon Cult advocates that Wuji is even more robbing and committing all kinds of evil. Everyone can be punished. We beggars Although our abilities are limited, we still have justice in our hearts. Today, the brothers have caught a remnant of the Demon Sect, so how should we deal with it?"

Song Qingshu: ...

Zhang Wuji robbed and plundered, did he do all kinds of evil?He should really let him come and listen to other people's evaluations in person, how bad his reputation is...

He suppressed his thoughts and watched intently.

The spokesperson on the high platform made a grandiose speech, clapped his hands and ordered people to press out a tall man. The man was pale, his clothes were messy, and his hair was messy. He had obviously been tortured.

"This person is the altar master of Mingjiao's Fengyang sub-altar, Zhu Yuanzhang!" The young elder with eight cloth bags hanging on his body pointed at the man, "He is a high-ranking Mingjiao, if he dies here, he will definitely hit the Demon Cult's arrogance severely! "

Infected by his words, the gang members in the audience were very emotional, and they all raised their arms and shouted:

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Cut him into pieces! To comfort my righteous soul in heaven!"

"Brothers, don't worry, since everyone trusts me, Chen Youliang, Chen will be the master today, please don't blame the helper."

The man who called himself "Chen Youliang" saluted the "Leader of the Beggar Clan" behind him as he spoke.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, please go ahead, Elder Chen, my leader agrees!"

Chen Youliang lowered his head and smiled, and fixed his malicious eyes on Zhu Yuanzhang. Song Qingshu, who was hiding aside, had a clear expression and muttered to himself:

"It turns out that he is Chen Youliang..."

Before coming here, Lu Xiaoman specially reminded him that Chen Youliang is insidious and cunning, full of tricks, sweet-mouthed and sharp-tongued, and best at instigating people's hearts.

Somehow, this group of them caught Zhu Yuanzhang of Mingjiao, and they were planning to use lynching to execute him.

Logically speaking, Mingjiao is carrying the banner to fight in front, and other sects shouldn't hold back even if they don't help. Why does this beggar gang do the opposite?

There is only one possibility, and that is—the beggar gang has long been instigated to rebel.

The beggar gang infiltrated the imperial court's spies, and this Chen Youliang was obviously one of them. He climbed to the position of the elder of Babao, and even the gang leader had some concerns in front of him.Chen Youliang and his people behind the scenes wanted to use the hands of the beggar gang to eradicate the Mingjiao people, so that the two would become enmity and destroy the relationship between the martial arts alliance.

In the blink of an eye, Song Qingshu has already figured out many joint points.He took a deep breath, raised his hand to press the book on his chest, his eyes gradually became firm.
