Chapter 556 Warlike Hone of the Blade

"So, the origin of Red Lantern Holy Mother’s branch incense is quite something…" I said, "No wonder she suddenly became so assertive, standing tall and driving out the Plum Blossom Lane fellows. No wonder she faced the overbearing pressure from the Truth Sect and refused to give them a single coin of tribute, even pretending it was stolen."

"Alas, it's my fault, all my fault. Before, I only thought our Holy Mother was muddle-headed and unlikely to achieve great things. Now I see, we were the ones who were muddle-headed…" "Fortunately, Old Xu sent a message, letting us come in time. Otherwise, we would be held accountable afterward." "However, this little red incense has now gained fortune and become the Grain Protecting General, which is truly unpredictable…" "Hehe, have you all thought about when this little red incense started to rise?" "Wasn't it this time? Before, when the mountains were plagued by bandits, he already had this inclination. At that time, he was still a disciple under Holy Mother, and he was sent into the mountains, where he made a name for himself. Later, it was also Holy Mother who expelled him from the society, which allowed him to completely take root in the mountains."

"Don't forget, even when he was expelled from the society, he didn't end up half-dead in the society like other red incense disciples, but was released with all his arms and legs…" "Oh my, this grand game of chess started from then?"

"Aiya! I knew it, if she didn't have this much scheming, how could Red Lantern Holy Mother have come this far?"

Reading time: 10 seconds Each and every thing, even the things that Yu Zhen had considered when leading people out of the mountains, were unfamiliar to us. Within a short day or two, troops were divided, camps were set up, registers were made, and orders were established. The noisy Zhu Men town was settled down in an instant.

Shen Hong was trying hard to understand the changes, and vaguely felt that what I said was unreasonable, but he didn't know where to start. Suddenly, he heard someone inside report: "It's done, it's broken…" When Red Lantern Holy Mother was worried, the underworld messenger of the Hall of Inquiries came to the town. Seeing this scene, he first sighed several times with pity, and ordered people to light a row of a hundred oil lamps, all placed above the red lanterns.

Now, in Zhu Men Town, the shopkeepers and mine bosses from the blood food mines who came to protect the Holy Mother were increasingly discussing in private, and increasingly felt that Red Lantern Holy Mother was unfathomable. They only felt that everything that seemed coincidental was arranged in advance.

The other party smiled and said, "If this battle is won, his fate will return to him, and the people above will no longer have divided hearts, and he will be able to suppress them. You must know that at such a time of rise, his title of Grain Protecting General is more powerful than the real thousands of troops."

"To be honest, I also had a lot of misunderstandings about the Blood Food Society afterward. Now that I have seen the people under the command of Red Lantern Holy Mother, who all dare to take on great righteousness and protect the grain for the people of Mingzhou, leaving a way for them to survive, I know that my vision was still too low before."

"But speaking of it, this noble person has arranged everything very well, but he didn't choose the right time. A good piece of rough material, but without the fire, how can a good knife be forged?"

Moreover, these people were quite unfamiliar, and after eating a routine banquet hosted by me, they immediately said that they wanted to serve. Some went to measure the terrain between Zhu Men Town and Mingzhou Prefecture, some went to count the weapons, and some even went to be cooks.

But despite saying that, I still patiently watched, watching these people take orders, set up camps, distribute food, and even invited craftsmen from somewhere to make armor and seals.

"The aura has already dissipated, but it is covered by a burst of evil energy, and only now is it revealed."

"Yes."

"However, I only learned about your Red Lantern Holy Mother's identity last night."

Although Shen Hong didn't understand, he wasn't stupid. Now he understood, and sighed lowly: "If these people had come earlier, my Shen Stick brothers wouldn't have lost their lives..." He smiled at Yu Zhen and said, "General has a good life, rising with the momentum. Now that he has taken the name, ghosts and gods respect him, and all parties come to join him. Now he has enough soldiers and generals, and he has created a heaven-sent good situation in this Mingzhou..." "When can we send these little things away?" Yang Gongzhi hurriedly shook his head: "I am very grateful, I am very grateful. Does the great underworld messenger want tea? I'll pour it for you!" At the same time, the Right Protector was talking quietly with Yu Zhen in the inner hall, chatting about the affairs here, while Aunt Gu didn't like to come out during the day, and didn't know where to find a grass nest to sleep. On the other hand, in the An Shen Temple, Red Lantern Holy Mother was now worried.

Similarly, during this period of time, Shen Hong in the town was also wondering. In the past few days, the noble lords outside the city secretly sent food and troops, which I could understand. The surrounding villages and even bandits came to join, which I could also understand.

"I dare not." And Red Lantern Holy Mother's current suffering is also here. These little things, supplied with oil lamps, have stopped a lot, and don't make trouble in broad daylight.

Tie Zuizi smiled, "Now that the General intends to enter the city, these nobles outside Mingzhou City can't wait to open the city gates and let you in, but I feel that entering like this is too hasty."

"Over time, I am afraid that Mingzhou will also become a land of despair. Not to mention the living, even Red Lantern Holy Mother's incense will not be stable, and everyone will have to get involved."

"2·....“Winning without fighting is certainly good, but the people under his command are not so easy to convince. Without this good battle, even if he enters the city, the grass-roots king will not be stable, and may be pulled down."

While feeling depressed, my father-in-law, who had been urging me to return to the mountain, suddenly jumped out and kicked me in the butt, scolding, "What are you upset about? What are you upset about? Just listen and learn honestly!"

"Let me tell you, without him, there would be no you. You really have two holes growing on your face, and you can't see the noble."

"." Yang Gongzhi didn't dare to persuade him strongly, and hurriedly agreed, poured water, served it personally, and cautiously said, "Then what about the following things?"

Shen Hong suddenly thought that what this person said was the same as what his old father-in-law said, and hurriedly said, "Then please advise me, sir, what should I do?"

"However, in my opinion, there is only one shortcoming."

"Of course, this king is just a grass-roots king, but in this world, the grass-roots king also has real weight!"

"." "Is a title more important than the real brothers under my command?"

Because there were too many oil lamps, it was obvious that the small Red Lantern Temple could not fit them all.

In the An Shen Temple, which only had an incense table and a red lantern, a big change has taken place. Yesterday, the great underworld messenger left, but left a group of strange little ghosts there.

Zhang Agu shook her head, "Tea is not necessary, a cup of clear water is enough."

The one who dressed up as a fortune teller claimed to be a wanderer of the martial world, belonging to the Gold character lineage, named Tie Zuizi (Iron Mouth).

"A group of beggars came from the direction of Mingzhou City." "It can be seen that there are nobles around him pointing him, and all kinds of desperate situations have the magic of turning danger into safety. He has reversed his fate and achieved the current climate. It is no exaggeration to say that dragon scales have grown on the body of a loach. Now he is only waiting to enter Mingzhou, and he will have the order of a king."

I am indeed just an underworld messenger in the countryside, and considering things will be complicated, I don't want conflicts of interest.

You are a person of the Tao, so naturally you know the origin of the seemingly extraordinary girl in front of you. There are countless questions in your heart that you want to ask, but you don't know where to start.

Therefore, he showed more respect to these people and sincerely asked for advice.

On the other hand, I was really confused by those strange people who took the initiative to join me.

"I am just an underworld messenger in the countryside and don't understand these big things."

Shen Hong was scolded by his old father-in-law and his eyes became strange: "This is not my father, how can there be no me without him?"

"No wonder I can become the leader of this sect. These evil things were all calculated long ago?" Zhang Agu saw that you asked, and slowly said, "But now, I can see that in Mingzhou Prefecture, ghosts and gods are restless, yin and yang are out of order, living people are dazed, and spirits are uneasy. I think there is an evil spirit coming to Mingzhou City, and it has startled the entire population of Mingzhou."

"This trip to the town, I can't help much, but I can set up lamps and worship for your Holy Mother, and repair the incense table, which can be regarded as expressing some respect. Shen Hong is now only thinking about finding someone who is fierce in battle. Seeing that these people only care about various trivial matters, it's okay if there are fewer, but if there are more, they start to become impatient.

Tie Zuizi smiled and said, "He lacks a good battle."

Shen Hong was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Brother, don't be polite with me, just say it, I'm listening."

"However, in my opinion, there is only one shortcoming."

"But they are very greedy! They generally eat oil, and the flame is also strong in broad daylight. Now it is under the incense table, one lamp after another, hanging in the narrow inner hall opposite the An Shen Temple of the incense table Holy Mother. Right Protector Yang Gongzhi was only sitting halfway on the chair, looking lightly at Zhang Agu.

These people look like they are wandering the martial world, doing crafts, all kinds of industries, but few look like they can fight.

"It's okay for me to be a case god, chanting scriptures and taking care of children every day, who can stand it?" 'That good battle has its benefits."

"But it's very fierce!" Shen Hong understood, but didn't understand: "Why isn't there a good battle? There are still thousands of soldiers and horses outside Mingzhou City?"

'It's only hateful that the Left Protector was so nice to me before, only saying that there was me in great things, letting me be the Red Lantern Holy Mother with peace of mind. Now at this critical time, how can I not see anyone?' Shen Hong heard that he was still wondering what the beggars were doing with such a commotion. Tie Zuizi's face changed, he quickly raised his hand and calculated with his fingers, his face had become a little strange: "So... but now that these words have been spoken, Yang Gongzhi's heart has suddenly become bright, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's right!" 1.B>
