As she spoke, she squeezed into the two of them, and reached out to grab Empress Li's wrist. Empress Li was shocked, only to feel that Zhao Yueru's claw contained countless changes, and she couldn't dodge at all, and with a "snap", she was caught by Zhao Yueru.

Empress Li hurriedly shook it with all her might. Although Zhao Yueru's claw was exquisite, she was afraid of hurting Queen Li, so she only used thirty percent of her strength, and was thrown away by Queen Li, and she broke free again. But taking advantage of such a moment, Shen Ruolan grabbed Zeng Wenli again. Hong Shuer, Ji Ying, Zhou Lingyun and other three people also immediately came up and surrounded Zeng Wenli.

Empress Li took a few steps back, shocked and shocked in her heart, she had only heard rumors from the palace maids that Zhao Yueru was strong in martial arts and could come and go freely among thousands of troops, but she thought that they were exaggerating and did not take it to heart. Now it seems that Zhao Yueru's martial arts are far inferior. Even the martial arts of these women around her are extraordinary, they are not under her, and I don't know where she found them. And now that he has been stopped by Zhao Yueru, Zeng Wenli is surrounded by them again, and it is impossible to snatch people out.

Zhao Yueru turned her head and said to Zeng Wenli: "I see that you are not young anymore, and you must have been in the palace for a lot of years, why are you still so unruly." Come on, give me twenty mouths. ”

Hong Shu'er also saw that Zeng Wenli was not pleasing to the eye, and when she heard Zhao Yueru say this, she immediately said: "Respect the princess's life." The round slap, the left and right bows, "slap, slap, slap" made Zeng Wenli scream again and again, and after the twenty slaps, Zeng Wenli's cheeks were swollen and high, and only blood flowed down the corners of her mouth. When Shen Ruolan and Bai Xinru let go of her, they were both unable to stand firm.

Zhao Yueru said coldly: "Zeng Wenli, I beat you today, are you convinced?" ”

Zeng Wenli was completely arrogant at this time, knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again: "It's a slave who should be beaten, and the princess has to teach her a lesson." The slave and the maid are served, and the slave and the slave are served. Please also ask the princess to spare the slave and maid this time for the sake of the slave and maid serving the saint for many years. ”

At this time, Queen Li also came over and said: "Liuniang, this slave is not sensible, I just collided with Liuniang, and I usually discipline less, but for the sake of her serving me for so many years and doing her best, you just let her go this time, don't worry, I will teach her well in the future, and I will never do it again." ”

Seeing Empress Li's pleading like this, Zhao Yueru couldn't help but leave her a little face, and now is not the time to pursue Empress Li, so she said: "A slave and maid have made some mistakes, so there is nothing, but as the saying goes: the upper line is effective, and there is a saying: the master is good, the slave will do it, and I hope that the saint will be more self-disciplined in the future, and take the example as a rule, if the saint behaves properly, these slaves and maids will naturally behave in accordance with the rules." ”

When Empress Li heard this, her face turned red and white for a while, and she smiled and said, "What Liuniang said is that I will definitely pick up more in the future." ”

Zhao Yueru nodded, and then said to Shen Ruolan and Bai Xinru: "Let Zeng Wenli go." Then he said to Queen Li: "The saint is good for himself, I will retire first." ”

******************************

In the last month of the eighth year of the Song Dynasty, the Song army and the Jin army were facing the Jin army on the front line of Huizhou and Yanzhou.

At this time, the curtain of the car was opened, revealing the face of a beautiful woman, and said, "King Chen Yi, how far is it?" ”

Chen Ziming turned around and bowed slightly, and said, "Sect Master, it's almost here." It is in the town of Qili, ten miles east of Ganzhou City. It's less than half an hour away, do you want to rest for a while? ”

The woman said, "Even if it's almost there, then let's continue to hurry and rush to Qili Town in one go." ”

A woman in colorful palace clothes next to the car said: "It's not that the stronghold is in Ganzhou City, how did you get to a small town outside the city?" ”

Chen Ziming smiled and said: "King Ling, there is naturally our stronghold in Ganzhou City, but in case it is discovered by the Song Army, as soon as the four gates are closed, everyone will be locked up in the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape, Qili Town is ten miles outside the city, and there is the Ganjiang River, once something happens, we can withdraw at any time." It's better to be careful in everything. ”

At this time, an extremely tall and ashamed man beside Chen Ziming nodded and said, "The Wing King is very thoughtful." ”

It turned out that this group was a remnant of Manichaeism. Since the Jin army began to invade the south, the Great Song Dynasty was now too busy to take care of itself, so the control of Manichaeism was also relaxed a lot. After Zhong Xinyu met with the right envoy of light in Lin'an, he secretly sneaked into Tanzhou, observed for several days, and finally determined that the Song Dynasty now had no energy to deal with Manichaeism, so Zhong Xinyu also immediately changed his original decision, wanting to take this opportunity not to return overseas, but to continue to spread the doctrine in the Great Song Dynasty, develop believers, and re-establish the power of Manichaeism.

So I consulted with everyone that we should choose to start developing again there. At this time, Zhong Zhenxian, who was recruiting the old Manichaean department in the south, sent Chen Zi Mingtanzhou to meet Zhong Xinyu and tell her that he had now recruited nearly 200 old Manichaean followers in the south with the scriptures, and established a Manichaean stronghold in Ganzhou, and asked Zhong Xinyu to rush to preside over the overall situation.

After Zhong Xinyu received the letter, he immediately consulted with the right envoy, Xiao Tinglan, Zhao Cao and others, and believed that although the Song Dynasty's control of Manichaeism was relaxed a lot, now that the Song and Jin Dynasty were in Jingnan and Jiangnan, almost all the forces of the Song Dynasty were concentrated here, and it would be difficult for Manichaeism to develop here. The Sichuan area is too far away, and the Manichaeans do not know the local situation, and there is no need to consider the Central Plains and Hebei places occupied by the Jin State.

The south has always been the foundation of Manichaeism, with a deep foundation, and Zhong Ziang has been operating in the south for nearly 40 years, and it is deeply rooted, and it will not be cleared up in a while. Therefore, it is believed that it is better to choose to develop in the south. Ganzhou is located at the junction of Jiangnan West Road, Guangnan East Road, and Fujian Road, which can just avoid Yang Yan's sphere of influence in Guangdong, and at the same time cross Meizhou and Chaozhou to the south is the South China Sea, but three or four hundred miles away, once the situation changes, you can escape from the sea at any time.

Therefore, after everyone discussed, it was decided to use Ganzhou as a stronghold, and first use the surrounding state capitals as a basis to develop believers and develop strength. Slowly expanding to the entire South. So Zhong Xinyu immediately led a group of more than 50 people, including Zhao Cao, Xiao Tinglan, Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, Shan Huaiyi, the envoy of the Flood Banner, and Li Jin, the envoy of the Jumu Banner, to Ganzhou with Chen Ziming.

After walking for a while, the group came to a town. This town is not big, it is east-west, a long street of about 100 steps, you wear the whole town, both sides of the long street are full of shops doing business, behind the shops on the left is the Ganjiang River, you can also see a few masts stretching out from the back of the house, and behind the shops on the right is a row of houses. Penetrating the long street and looking westward, you can vaguely see the city wall of Ganzhou City.

The group walked into a long street, perhaps because it was a war, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and more than half of the shops were closed and not opened, Xiao Tinglan frowned and said, "This town is so desolate." ”

Zhao Cao looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Now there are soldiers everywhere in a panic, and it is naturally more desolate, but this is fine, so as not to have too many mouths and leak the news, this place is really good, it is also close to Ganzhou, and the waterway is convenient." ”

Chen Ziming suddenly let out a burst of laughter and said, "Everyone, we have arrived at the place."

At this moment, something happened to him, and dozens of sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the shops on both sides.

Zhong Xinyu and his party were defenseless, and more than ten people immediately fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Almost at the same time, I saw Chen Ziming's "snap" palm, which was slapping on the back of Shan Huaiyi, the envoy of the flood flag. Shan Huaiyi screamed, spurting blood from his mouth and fell, while on the other side, Qinglong had already pulled out his long sword, and the sword light flashed, and it had pierced the giant wooden flag to make Li Jin's right artery, Li Jin didn't snort, and he was cut to the ground.

In fact, although Li Jin and Shan Huaiyi's martial arts were not as good as Qinglong and Chen Ziming, they would not be killed with one move, but they were defenseless against the attack of these two people, and as a result, the only two remaining banner envoys in the Manichaean Five Elements Banner died at once.

After the sneak attack was successful, Chen Ziming and Qinglong immediately retreated to both sides of the road, and at this time, hundreds of people in Tsing Yi rushed out from the shops on both sides, each holding a sword, and the pedestrians on the street before also drew their hidden weapons and surrounded Zhong Xinyu and his group.

It was only at this time that Zhong Xinyu, Xiao Tinglan, Zhao Cao, Vermilion Bird and the other Manichaean disciples reacted, and they immediately hurriedly drew their swords and waited for the battle. Zhong Xinyu also got out of the car and said sharply: "Chen Ziming, Qinglong, do you two dare to apostasy?" ”

Chen Ziming sneered and said, "Zhong Xinyu, you and the sect leader who are not worthy of being Manichaeism, let me tell you the truth, we have all decided to appoint Zhong Zhenxian as the head of Manichaeism." ”

Zhong Xinyu, Xiao Tinglan, Zhao Cao, Suzaku and others were all taken aback when they heard this, and at this time, the crowd in front of them was divided, and they saw Zhong Zhenxian proudly walking out of a shop with Xuanwu.

Chen Ziming and Qinglong immediately came to Zhong Zhenxian and said in unison, "See the sect leader." ”

Zhong Zhenxian laughed and said to Zhong Xinyu: "You are now cornered, if you lay down your arms and surrender, I will consider sparing you from dying and letting you live." ”

Zhong Xinyu, Xiao Tinglan, Zhao Cao, Zhu Que and others were shocked and angry, and they couldn't imagine that at this time, Zhong Zhenxian, Chen Ziming and others would do something to openly seize the position of the sect leader, causing civil strife in Manichaeism. And as soon as he came up, he killed Li Jin and Shan Huaiyi.

Xiao Tinglan sneered and said: "Article 12 of the Holy Sect's canons, those who kill their brothers in the sect without permission will pay for their lives with their lives. When you do this, what face do you have to claim to be the head of Manichaeism? ”
