Chapter 1552 Kidnapping

When I returned to the mainland again and entered a big city, almost every city had several chimneys gurgling with smoke.

On the way back to Wudang Mountain, the sights and sounds were still fresh. Many people came down from Wudang Mountain to attend the birthday banquet.

Zhang Cuishan was a little worried because he had been away for ten years and now he came back with a wife. He didn't know if his fellow disciples would blame him.

Yin Susu was a traditional woman. After getting married, she followed her husband wherever he went. She had a father and a brother at home, but she didn't mention going home to see them. Instead, she accompanied her husband to Wudang Mountain, thousands of miles away. She was a virtuous woman in feudal society.

Zhang Wuji had listened to his parents' stories about Wudang Mountain since he was a child, so he was full of expectations and wanted to see the Wudang immortal leader.

"Those northerners are really bullying." In the restaurant, the person sitting next to Zhang Cuishan suddenly slammed the table and stood up, which scared Zhang Wuji.

They spoke loudly, so Zhang Cuishan and the others also heard roughly.

It turned out to be a conflict between the north and the south.

After the brutal enclosure movement in southern regions such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the sprouts of capitalism are growing rapidly, and the economy has surpassed the north in all aspects. Because of the imperial power in the north, and the Mongolian nobles who are still conservative and still retain a large amount of traditional animal husbandry, a large amount of land is controlled by the powerful and is only used as pasture for horse grazing. This is simply unforgivable behavior in the eyes of capitalists, and many northern merchants have connections with the powerful, so the arrogant attitude makes the male merchants extremely unconvinced. However, local governments dare not offend the powerful, so they always protect northern merchants, leaving southern merchants with no complaints.

Now it is obvious that the political center in the north has dragged down the development of the south, and coupled with the damage caused to the southerners by the previous enclosure movement, the division between the north and the south is extremely serious.

This time, many Yuan Dynasty nobles also came to the birthday banquet. They did not come to celebrate the birthday. They wanted to dig out profits from the business of the major sects, not just a little bit of profit, but to make the major sects lose a lot of meat.

The representative of this group of dignitaries is the King of Ruyang. His political view is to suppress the development of capital in the south, because the roots of the Mongolians are still in the north, so the south must not be allowed to grow and develop. They can make money but they must not be out of control.

The Mongolian officials in the court also think so. Although they have all been sinicized, they still look down on the Han people in their hearts. This Yuan Dynasty is the world of their Mongolians. The Han people are just workers. If the workers have more money than the boss, how can the boss have any face?

In recent years, there has been more and more unfair treatment of the south, and most of the money earned by the southerners has to be sucked by the northern dignitaries, so many people are dissatisfied. In addition, the closed attitude of the northern dignitaries also makes people feel itchy. Such a large piece of precious land is actually used to raise horses. Is their brain broken?

The merchants who cursed in the restaurant were so angry because they were cheated by the merchants backed by the northern dignitaries.

Along the way, it was not the first time that Zhang Cuishan heard southerners complain about northerners, although there has been regional discrimination since ancient times. For example, Zheng people buy shoes, Shu dogs bark at the sun, Qian donkeys are out of tricks, Yue dogs bark at snow, etc., are all idioms with clear regional discrimination. There are many other things, such as "carving a boat to find a sword" and "waiting by the tree to wait for the rabbit", which implicitly refer to the low IQ of people in a certain place.

In short, regional discrimination has always existed, but Zhang Cuishan found that the current atmosphere is not only discrimination, but hostility. However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the southerners have gone through so much to achieve the current results, but the northerners want to take most of the results, and the southerners will naturally not be willing.

The northerners believe that the south is today because of their good decision-making. If they don't put pressure on the south, the south will not develop.

Those powerful people all have this kind of thinking, that is, how can you have money if you don't punch you in the beginning? So punching you is for your own good. Now that you have money, do you have to express gratitude for the punch in the beginning? Then they start to ask for it with confidence.

Various factors have made the atmosphere between the north and the south reach the point of being on the verge of a fight. Now if a southerner rises up, then there will definitely be a hundred responses.

Yin Susu thought that the Ming Cult was rooted in the south and must be opposed to the north. I am afraid that a war will be inevitable at that time.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Cuishan and others were ready to leave, but suddenly they heard a commotion in the restaurant, and then saw two strange old men rushing towards them.

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were fine, but their son was taken away by the old man.

They snatched a child in broad daylight?

The couple rushed out immediately, and the Golden Lion King didn't know what happened, because the restaurant was too noisy and he didn't find the problem in time.

The two were no match for the two Xuanming elders.

Zhang Cuishan couldn't help asking: "Why do the two elders want to embarrass me?"

"This is a gift for Master Zhang." The two Xuanming elders obeyed King Ruyang and were the scum of the martial arts world. This time, King Ruyang got the news of Zhang Cuishan's return, so he was going to use Zhang Wuji to give Zhang Sanfeng a warning, to let Zhang Sanfeng know that in the Yuan Dynasty, if he didn't obey, he would be easily killed.

As soon as the news of Zhang Cuishan and others returning home came out, their family was already involved in a treacherous conspiracy.

"Despicable!" Zhang Cuishan didn't expect that someone would use a child to threaten his master, but the other party was very skilled in martial arts, and the couple was really hard to defeat.

"Haha, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not learning martial arts well." The two Xuanming elders did not feel ashamed of bullying the weak, but were complacent.

Such a shameless person would make anyone angry.

The two Xuanming elders disappeared with Zhang Wuji. Zhang Cuishan and his wife were desperate. Their son was lost just like that.

"Let's go up the mountain and ask the master to help!" Zhang Cuishan could only think of asking Zhang Sanfeng for help.

So they placed the Golden Lion King in the hotel, and the couple went up the mountain directly.

Everyone was very happy to know that Zhang Cuishan had returned to the mountain, but they didn't expect that their son was robbed. This was a serious problem. However, Zhang Cuishan learned that the master was in seclusion and would not come out until the 100th birthday banquet.

However, saving his son could not be delayed. All the seven heroes of Wudang went out to look for him, but found that they could not find him at all. However, according to Zhang Cuishan's description, they also knew that it was the two Xuanming elders, the court's lackeys. This time, it was probably the Yuan Dynasty that was going to attack Wudang.

Everyone could only comfort Zhang Cuishan to stay calm. Since they kidnapped Zhang Wuji to threaten the master, the child was at least safe. They would know their purpose on the birthday banquet.

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu could only wait, and then he found that his fellow apprentices seemed to have gained a lot of weight. Unlike his life on the Ice and Fire Island, his quality of life improved significantly after he started selling insurance in Wudang Mountain. Although he was a pure cultivator, his food was much better, so he naturally gained weight.

In the anxious waiting, the day of his 100th birthday finally arrived.

The leaders of the six major sects came in person to celebrate his birthday, and of course, the aggressive court minions were also indispensable.

King Ruyang also came, and he brought a whole team of more than 30 musketeers.

The Golden Lion King also came here as a distinguished guest. Hearing that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of his adopted son dared to come, he wanted to rush up and kill King Ruyang, but he also knew that they could not do it before confirming Wuji's safety.

"Haha, Master Zhang hasn't come out of retreat yet? I have prepared a big gift to give to him, and I really hope to hand it over to him as soon as possible." King Ruyang was very arrogant.

The leaders of other sects knew his intention, but he just wanted to suck blood from them, so they all glared at him.

King Ruyang has the entire Yuan Dynasty behind him, so he is naturally not afraid of these martial artists. These martial artists should have been eliminated a few years ago. If it weren't for Master Zhang's efforts to turn the tide and come up with those strange moves, I'm afraid the martial artists would have been unable to save the situation.

However, no matter how strong Zhang Sanfeng is, he is just a person, a person living in the Yuan Dynasty. King Ruyang believes that after this lesson, Zhang Sanfeng will know the importance of the situation.
