0387. Named Disciple
King Jin is dead.
The news that the most powerful of the eight rebel kings in the Northern Song Dynasty, King Jin, was killed in the barracks of the most elite Yaowei Army under his command at the right time when he was marrying Princess Huanzhu, was like being given wings, and it was crazy. The land spread in the Northern Song Dynasty, and soon spread to the two empires of Western Qin and Southern Chu.
For all major forces, this news simply shattered their eyes.
Zhao Chen, the King of Jin, was the most powerful, powerful, scheming and skillful among the eight rebel kings of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the eyes of many people, this person had the potential to aspire to the throne of the Human Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he had the potential to swallow up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, in one day, The situation has changed, who knew, and he died like this?
He died at the hands of a little-known Taoist named Zhang Sanfeng.
When they first heard the news, many people thought it was a joke.
But as more and more people confirmed it later, the situation became weird.
Huang Youlong, the leader of [Liantian Water Village], [Xuantian Shenlong], announced that he would be in seclusion, and on the thirty-six waterways, all the branches of [Liantian Water Village] also closed their gates tightly, as if facing a formidable enemy, [Xuantian Water Village] Celestial Dragon] Huang Youlong is a well-known semi-saint, one of the top five peak experts in the Northern Song Dynasty Heavenly Ranking, but he is as cowardly as a mouse, which is shocking.
And as the super large sects such as [Iron Spear Sect], [Fenglei Sect], [Shanhe Sect], and [Tianxinzhai], which openly and secretly belonged to the King of Jin, successively announced the closure of mountains and retreats, the situation in the world of the Northern Song Dynasty and the situation in the court, It became confusing.
But one thing is finally certain, that is, King Jin is really dead.
A dead person has no value.
All parties no longer care about the death of Jin Wang Zhao Chen. Instead, we focused on the leaderless Yaowei Army and the other 700,000 soldiers of the Sixth Route Army who were once under the control of the King of Jin. Who do you want to belong to...
This is a plump piece of meat that everyone wants to take a bite of.
Especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, major rebel kings and some local officials who had rebel intentions but had not surfaced, including the Central Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty, all wanted to compete for this piece of fat.
Of course, Zhang Sanfeng's order from Wudang Mountain spread throughout the Northern Song Dynasty overnight.
Under the eyes of thousands of troops and many masters, killing the King of Jin is like killing a chicken. Such a person, even if he was unknown before, is now powerful enough to shock the world.
Many people are asking about who this little Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng is and where he is at this time.
It was at this time that Li Mu, who transformed into 'Zhang Sanfeng', rode a white crane to Lin'an City, the imperial capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Due to the current tense political situation, Lin'an City's defense was extremely tight. However, with the face of the Eight Wise Kings of the Empire, Lin'an City's defense circle was easily cleared. That afternoon, Li Mu, the little bookboys Qingfeng, Yuan Hou and Husky and others were arranged to live in the Eight Sage Prince's Mansion.
Instructing the Righteous Queen Shiyu to entertain Li Mu happily, the Eight Sage Kings took Zhao Ji and hurried into the palace to see the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty to discuss state affairs after the death of the King of Jin.
"Would you like to take a look on the street?" Wang Shiyu acted generously like a free tour guide.
"Okay, okay, little sister, take Wang there." Husky answered first, drooling from his mouth.
Li Mu was speechless at this stupid dog.
On the way here, Li Mu learned that the reason why the husky was willing to become Wang Shiyu's mount was just because Wang Shiyu promised it that when it arrived in Lin'an City, he would treat the stupid dog to all the delicacies in the city. It really has no moral integrity at all. It is estimated that the white wolf kings in the harem of it on the prairie will divorce it directly if they find out.
Li Mu felt that since this guy came to the alien planet and obtained the mysterious power, he has completely let himself go.
However, it’s also good to go out for a walk.
Wang Shiyu disguised herself as a man and became a young master. Yuan Hong pushed Qingfeng's wheelchair and accompanied Li Mu out of the palace gate.
General Husky followed behind.
The guards in the mansion were about to follow, but were dissuaded by a personal guard of the Eight Wise Kings.
This personal guard followed the Eight Wise Kings and flew back on a white crane. Naturally, he knew how terrifying the white-clothed and short-haired Li Mu was. King Jin was killed in the midst of thousands of troops. With his protection, The princess is the safest anywhere.
Lin'an, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is a water city with many lakes, waterways, and mountain peaks. Of course, the land is also quite vast and divided into several major areas. The Palace of the Eight Sages is located relatively in the central core area, and the scenery is like There are various high-end consumer places in the city.
Take a boat ride on the waterway and enjoy the scenery along the river. Time flies by quickly.
"To eat delicious food, you have to go to the dog restaurants on the streets and alleys. There may not be delicious food in these grand restaurants on the surface." Wang Shiyu directly put forward his shopping theory.
General Husky was convinced.
"Wow, I agree with my sister's statement. The words "dog food restaurant" are particularly clever."
Dogs like to eat something, so of course it is delicious food. This theory is impeccable.
As a result, a group of people left the central area and, led by Wang Shiyu, wandered in some small alleys in Lin'an City.
Sure enough, she really found a lot of delicious food. Not to mention Husky, Yuan Hou, and Li Mu, even the little book boy Qingfeng, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't shut up about the food.
Originally, Li Mu was thinking about sneaking into Taiyi Palace to see those so-called 'pre-era relics' after arriving in Lin'an City, but now he couldn't care less. His mouth made him choose to follow Wang Shiyu and continue eating.
As the princess, Wang Shiyu is obviously very familiar with the areas where these poor people come and go.
"Next, I'll take you to eat Beggar's Chicken. Hehe, I can say without any politeness that it is one of the four most delicious delicacies in Lin'an City. This Beggar's Chicken is definitely on the list." Wang Shiyu took Li Mu and others People came to the streets of a slum area.
Different from the prosperous areas where the scenery is beautiful, the years are peaceful, and the passers-by are all dressed in silk and satin, in this area, poor people with ragged clothes and yellow faces are mostly seen, especially many refugees and refugees can be seen everywhere. Among the Eight Kings The chaos in the Northern Song Dynasty was full of wars, and countless good people were forced to leave their homes to avoid the war. Even in Lin'an City, refugees inevitably appeared, and they were extremely miserable.
There are people begging everywhere on the roadside.
"Uncle, uncle, please give me something to eat, my sister is starving to death..."
"Sell yourself to bury your father!"
"Woo, mom, I'm hungry..."
Different voices, roughly the same content, coming from different people.
Li Mu looked at it with complicated feelings in his heart.
When this kind of picture that you have seen in books or TV series actually appears in front of you, this feeling... He clearly saw a kind of numbness and despair spreading around him.
In troubled times, people are like ants.
"This is the territory of the Beggar Clan's Nagato Branch. Elder Lu, the leader of the Nagato Branch, is a very kind elder, so allowing these refugees to beg for food here is just... after all, it is only a drop in the bucket, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. "Wang Shiyu sighed.
Beggars?
Li Mu's heart moved.
He and the little book boy Qingfeng looked at each other, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
Zuo Luyi, who abducted Mingyue, according to the blind crow Taoist priest, was one of the great elders of the Beggar Gang in the Northern Song Dynasty. This was the only clue to Mingyue's whereabouts. Li Mu originally thought that it would not be easy to get in touch with the Beggar Gang. Who I knew that Wang Shiyu was actually friends with an elder of the Beggar Clan.
That's enough.
Under the leadership of Wang Shiyu, Li Mu soon met Lu Changfu, the elder of the Beggar Clan who was in charge of the Changmen Branch. He was a skinny old man wearing sacks and rags. He had gray hair and dark skin, as if he was cast from black iron. On the surface, his body looked no different from that of a hungry, skinny old beggar on the roadside, but Li Mu could see that this old beggar had the cultivation level of a heavenly being.
This surprised Li Mu.
The Beggar Gang is indeed the largest gang in the Northern Song Dynasty, and a branch elder has such strength.
But having said that, why is Zuo Luyi, who claims to be one of the great elders of the Beggar Clan, so dumb?
"Brother Lu, this is my friend. I came to see you this time because I want to try the beggar's chicken you made by yourself. Hehe, I wonder if it will be a good taste." Wang Shiyu revealed his identity and said with a smile. Elder Lu Changfu calls him brother and brother.
"It turns out to be the princess." Lu Changfu then recognized Wang Shiyu, who was disguised as a man. He said a few polite words before saying with a wry smile: "It's just that it's unlucky for you to come today, princess. Something happened to our beggar gang." , Tonight, a gang meeting will be held. Brother, I am in a hurry to attend the meeting, so I am afraid I will have to wait until the next time before I can be a beggar chicken for you.
"Beggars' Clan Conference?" Wang Shiyu said in surprise: "I heard that your sect's conference only happens once every five years. I remember, brother, you only went to attend the conference last year. Why don't you do it again this year?"
Lu Changfu smiled bitterly and said: "Our gang leader was assassinated the day before yesterday. Today, the enemy came to the door and brought out some food that was eaten inside and outside... Oh, I won't say more. The family scandal must not be made public. Princess, why don't you come back tomorrow? ? If I, Lao Lu, don't die tonight, I will definitely cook the best beggar's chicken for you tomorrow... This friend, I am really sorry."
The last sentence was what he said to Li Mu.
"You're welcome, Elder Lu." Li Mu was thinking about how to find out about the old beggar Zuo Luyi.
Wang Shiyu was shocked and said: "There is such a thing. The [God Beggar] senior was assassinated? Who can assassinate him? Brother Lu, what does it mean to not die tonight? Do you want to fight with others to your death?"
Lu Changfu said: "He is a big devil... The princess knows little about the affairs in the world. I am an old man and I can't say that I will have to fight with those thieves tonight."
Wang Shiyu said: "Such a thing happened. Brother Lu, I can be regarded as a registered disciple of the Beggar Clan. I absolutely cannot sit idly by and ignore it. I am going to help tonight."
Li Mu was surprised when he heard it. Why was Wang Shiyu still a registered disciple of the Beggar Clan?
