38 Be open and honest
Wang Zhong returned to the Songshan faction in only three days, and now there are not many disciples of the Songshan faction, most of whom were sent by Wang Zhong to various parts of the Central Plains to deal with the business of the dart bureau, but there are less than thirty percent of the disciples left in the base camp of the Songshan faction.
If you think that the current Songshan faction is weak, then it is a big mistake, the people who stay in the Songshan faction now are all elites, and those who go are those who are high in martial arts, have little potential, and have worrisome prospects.
These people's qualifications are not high, but there are a lot of them, usually the Songshan faction has to spend money to support them, Wang Zhong has long been blind, but unfortunately Zuo Lengchan is in charge, Wang Zhong can't change it.
Not long ago, Zuo Lengchan let go of everything, promoted Wang Zhong to the deputy head, handed over the power of the sect, and practiced martial arts in retreat, so Wang Zhong showed his strength.
First of all, Wang Zhong set up the "Shunfeng Dart Bureau" to open up the northern trade routes, and all the matters were handed over to Lin Zhennan to manage.
Secondly, Wang Zhong sent all those disciples who were not good at martial arts into the dart bureau as dart masters, acting as laborers and letting them fend for themselves.
Although those disciples complained, after Wang Zhong gave all the profits to the disciples, there were a lot fewer complaints, after all, those disciples were not highly qualified and were not very keen on martial arts, but they would never get along with money.
In the end, Wang Zhong sent the Thirteen Taibao and asked them to take turns to visit their fellow martial artists in the north, regardless of black and white, to escort the business of the dart bureau.
The most important thing in running a dart board is not the high martial arts of the dart master, but a good relationship with the local head snakes.
Lin Zhennan's family in Fuwei Dart Bureau, originally martial arts fart was not, why did the business of the dart bureau run so well, all over the five provinces, it was not willing to spend money, and the business would naturally go smoothly if the money was smashed.
With Lin Zhennan, the old Jianghu taking care of the business of the dart bureau, Wang Zhong is completely in charge, anyway, he is not afraid of Lin Zhennan's tricks, after all, his only son is now Wang Zhong's eldest disciple, Wang Zhong saved the life of his whole family, and his own martial arts are not high, so he needs to rely on the protection of the Songshan faction, so the two families are now in the honeymoon period.
Wang Zhong believes that in five years, the "Shunfeng Dart Bureau" will become a behemoth that affects the world.
Business Wang Zhong was not worried, but he began to eliminate Zuo Lengchan's power in the Songshan faction in a big way, and began to act in order to completely take power.
For a long time, Wang Zhong and Zuo Lengchan had contradictions because of their different means of acting, and they didn't break out because they both had restraint and understood that infighting would do no harm to the Songshan faction, and the lessons of the two sects of Huashan Sword Qi were just around the corner, so the two usually only fought for power and did not seize power.
However, with the spread of the business of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, Wang Zhong must completely obtain the power of the Songshan faction, otherwise many things will not be able to continue in the future.
Therefore, the first thing Wang Zhong did when he returned to Songshan was to find Zuo Lengchan for a showdown, and some things must be discussed clearly, otherwise there will be endless troubles, even if the two have done one. Wang Zhong is ready to fight with this senior brother in charge.
However, when Wang Zhong returned to the Songshan faction, he unexpectedly found that Zuo Lengchan had already left the customs and had been waiting for him to come back.
Wang Zhong came to Suiyang Peak, which is the highest place in the entire Songshan faction, and has always been a place where Zuo Lengchan retreats and practices martial arts, and Wang Zhong also came once, that is, he became the deputy head and personally sent Zuo Lengchan into the retreat.
When he came to the peak again, Wang Zhong found that Zuo Lengchan had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Zuo Lengchan again, Wang Zhong found that he seemed to have changed a little, his original domineering and powerful temperament disappeared without a trace, the whole person was surprisingly peaceful, even the wrinkles on his face were a little less, and the whole person was filled with an extraordinary temperament.
Especially Zuo Lengchan's eyes, originally his eyes were so energetic that people couldn't look directly, but now Zuo Lengchan's eyes are peaceful, like a kind old grandfather.
Calculating the time, Zuo Lengchan retreat also has two months, such a short period of time has changed so much, the only explanation is that he has made a breakthrough in martial arts.
"Fourth junior brother, look at this Suiyang Peak, after thousands of years, the rain and the wind blow, it still stands as usual, standing between heaven and earth, which is like our martial artists, no matter how high the martial arts are, in the end it is a touch of loess. Today's Zuo Lengzen words are full of Zen principles and feelings, which are very different from his usual times.
If it weren't for Wang Zhong's perception that Zuo Leng's Zen qi had not changed, or the "Songyang Heart Method", he would have suspected that the person in front of him was pretending.
"How can Senior Brother in charge feel like this today?" Wang Zhong approached and looked at Zuo Lengchan carefully, still not understanding why he had changed so much.
Looking back on the first half of his life, he did a lot of wrong things in order to strengthen the Songshan faction, and I hope that the fourth junior brother can correct it for his brother in the future. β
"Senior brother in charge, what do you mean by this?" Wang Zhong heard that there was a kind of meaning in Zuo Leng's Zen words.
"Haha!" Zuo Lengchan smiled heartily and said: "The fourth senior brother misunderstood, he has no will to die for his brother, but the martial arts go one step further, Fang Juewu is endless, and the supreme martial arts contain the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, in the endless avenue, the flies and dogs in the world are not worth mentioning. β
Hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, Wang Zhong almost thought that the person in front of him was a great monk.
The original Zuo Lengchan was masculine and ambitious, and had the heart to unify the martial arts, but now Zuo Lengchan sees through everything, like a monk.
"Senior brother, why do you have such thoughts?" Wang Zhongzhong said puzzled.
"For my brother to retreat for two months, you took care of the Songshan faction very well, in the past, it was too extreme for your brother, only focusing on the merger of the five mountains, and ignoring many internal problems of the Songshan faction, and in the future, I will rely on you to set things right, and the Songshan faction will grow beyond Shaolin Wudang. Zuo Lengchan did not answer Wang Zhong's question, but laughed at himself:
"In the past, my brother only wanted to annex the remaining four factions of Wuyue and unify the martial arts, but now that I think about it, I am really naΓ―ve, and I can't compare to my junior brother's unique vision!"
Wang Zhong frowned and replied: "It is indeed not feasible for the five mountains to merge factions, not to mention that the five mountains are thousands of miles apart, the nearest Huashan is also eight hundred miles away from Songshan, and the farthest is nearly three thousand miles away, after the merger, it is impossible to manage at all, and it will take more than half a year just to run a lap." β
"Secondly, the rest of the people in the four mountains, even if they agree to merge and faction, they will only have a discord in the end, my Songshan faction can't be mobilized at all, maybe I have to spend time to prevent them from biting back, if they are all eradicated, it is tantamount to destroying the four factions, why is there any need to merge?"
There are some things that Wang Zhong has long wanted to say to Zuo Lengchan, but Zuo Lengchan was too domineering before, and Wang Zhong was afraid that he would not listen to him, so now he just said it happily.
In the original work, Zuo Lengchan did everything for the merger of the five Yue factions, and finally cheapened Yue Buqun in vain, but even if Yue Buqun sat in the position of the head of the Wuyue faction, the other four factions did not listen to the tune or listen to the announcement, and did not take him seriously at all, after Yue Buqun's death, the Wuyue faction was not split again, and it returned to the past, what should I do.
Therefore, in Wang Zhong's view, the merger of the Five Mountains is purely redundant and wasted effort, it is better to use energy to develop itself, only its own strength is the most practical.
In addition, Wang Zhong was very unaccustomed to the despicable methods used by Zuo Lengchan before, and felt that with his strength, he was not as good as the development of the sect with a clear sword and a clear gun, and it was really unwise to improve his martial arts and spend his energy on conspiracy and calculation, and it also delayed the progress of martial arts.
