"General, King Zhao will bring you into a caravan, which is a great thing." Zhang Hong's face was full of eyebrows and his tone was excited, "This means that King Zhao has compared you with several other generals in Dengzhou who hold military power. It means that your weight in King Zhao's heart has become very important, and you should be moved and happy."

"When we are no longer the chess pieces in the hands of these big objects, it is not too late to be happy again."

Zhang Hong opened the list of partnerships, and still couldn't hide his happiness. He was still completely unconcealed when he could board the big ship of King Zhao, Jishuo and Cui's family. The caravan was worried that he would not have money to make. Shamen Town monopolized 30% of the profits, so he would definitely have a lot of money in the future. "General, being able to be used actually means that he has value to be used. What he feared most was not to be used, but to have no value to be used."

"I already hate the feeling of being under control as a chess piece."

"Even if you are a pawn, as long as you cross the river, there will be a time when the old coach is about to die. The key is that you can go to that point, rather than becoming an abandoned son in the middle." Zhang Hong suddenly said philosophically while stroking his goatee's beard.

"I may not be a little pawn, but if you guys help me together, it is not impossible to cross the river and get rid of the old coach."

Zhang Hong had a tired smile on his face: "General, I'm glad to see you think so." He approached Li Jing's ear and whispered: "Just Team Head sent in to report that the shopkeepers of the shops who fled from Shamen Island last night, and the owners of the owners of the shops who fled to Shamen Island last night have returned. In addition, the aunt Gongsun of Jianwu Pavilion has already arrived first, and the other shops seem to be coming."

"Jianwu Pavilion, Aunt Gongsun." Li Jing frowned and recited these two names, "Gongsun still has the courage to come?"

"Captain Qiu said that Gongsun already knew about the intelligence error, and she was very sorry for it." Zhang Hong whispered, "I feel that this Gongsun is not simple, but I think she doesn't seem to be hostile to us."

"Let her wait." When Li Jing thought that the situation that Hua Sanqianguan bought was only half correct, he couldn't help but appear the six hundred brothers who died in a battle last night. "She is willing to wait. If she doesn't even have this patience or sincerity, it means that she has bad intentions in this matter. Now, what I want to do most is to find someone who doesn't know how to live or die and vent my anger."

Zhang Hong nodded and flipped the notepad in his hand like an old housekeeper. "There is another thing. When those shops saw the Song envoy, Zhao, and Dengzhou's main civil and military officials and generals, they had already sent in to come and comfort the army and pay homage to the Shangguan. They also proposed that they would all be responsible for the lunch banquet of Shangguan today, and that all the soldiers guarding the island would be responsible for the lunch."

Hearing the news, Li Jing sneered. He had already arrived in Dengzhou for seven Yao, but now, except for Gongsun’s initiative to do business with him, thousands of shops, thousands of warehouses, and four wharfs on the island, none of the Shangren had visited him. He had never given him any gifts, nor had he worked for the army. Last night, the pirates attacked, and the first thing these Shangren thought of was to leave the island by boat, and no guards came to help.

Now that he had repelled the pirates, Song Wen, King Zhao and others had strong support, these merchants immediately changed their faces and were about to come and send their troops to express their condolences.

If possible, Li Jing would like to lead troops to search all the merchants one by one now, just like treating the Wang family's shops. However, Li Jing has not drunk alcohol now, so he still remains awake, and the thoughts in his mind are just anger. He cannot deal with these merchants openly. However, he will never let these in. No matter what, since they are on the Shamen Island, they should belong to him. Li Jing does not want to have a group of people who are transcendent to it on his territory. If it is open, it can only come in secret.

He had already thought of a complete set of plans to deal with these entry, and reclaiming the four docks was the first step. Now that they were going to comfort the army and pay homage to Shangguan, Li Jing must borrow the power of Song Wen and Li Feng and others to make a fuss and tiger power.

After Zhang Hong left, Li Jing sat alone in the study and pondered. He kept asking himself in his heart, what would he do if he was in the current situation? If he was Song Wen, Li Wen or Wang Jin, how would Feng Zhang treat him? Will there be another wave of actions after Wang Jin failed this time? But Feng Zhang, the cunning guy, has been hiding and not making any moves. Is he dormant, waiting for the best opportunity to accumulate all his strength, or has he stopped? Faced with this chaotic situation, what should he and Shamen Town do? Should he fight directly with them to the end, or temporarily compromise, keep a low profile, prepare for the opportunity, and wait for the opportunity?

It's strange that sometimes the more you think, the less you don't know the answer. But sometimes it's the most seemingly out-of-the-way sentence that can point directly to the heart. Li Huier's words "To deal with Wang Jin's entry, you should fight for teeth and claws." pulled a lot of the thick fog in his heart. No matter how the current situation changes, all this cannot cover up the fact that Wang Jin took action against Shamen Town. Although Shamen Town can be rebuilt, this damage will always remain in all the hearts.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Zhang Hong left, Monk Xuancheng suddenly came to see him.

"I heard that the aunt Gongsun of Jianwu Pavilion is here again?" He said straight to the point as soon as he entered the door: "Does the general still believe her?" After Xuan Cheng decided to stay as the deputy of the reconnaissance team, he had already begun to deliberately change himself now. He no longer wore monks' robes, no longer talked about me, but changed into a fiery red military uniform, and had a slutty head on his head.

"I believe that Mrs. Gongsun should not have given us false information on purpose. I want to hear her explanation."

Xuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, said a little while but stopped, and finally said, "I advise the general not to trust this girl too much. In fact, this girl is not as simple as you think."

"Why?" Li Jing asked in confusion: "Do you know something else?"

"Does the general know the six doors?" Xuan Cheng asked suddenly.

"I heard that Liushemen belongs to the Ministry of Justice. During the Zhenguan period, after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, in order to completely resolve the remnants of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the green forest tyrants in various places, the Ministry of Justice established a secret training base for the "Sixmen" to train new young people, called "Haoguns".

"That's right, in order to deal with major cases related to the court, the court specially established a secret organization that integrates martial arts masters, spies, convicts and killers. Because of the secret of this organization, the headquarters hall is one after another, facing north and south, with doors facing south and west, with two doors on each side in total, so it is called "Six Gates". The members of the organization are also called "Six Gates" because of the secret of the operation. Because this organization has strange actions and fierce means, they specialize in handling major cases. The majesty and terror of the Six Gates are widely circulated among the people. Over time, the Six Gates will be known in the world, and they will be known in all directions." Xuan Cheng said, "Do you know the Plum Blossom Gate?"

"Plum Blossom Gate?" Li Jing shook his head. I only heard that during the Wu Zhou period, in order to investigate and punish corrupt officials who violated the law and many ministers who did not meet Wu Zeyao's wishes, Emperor Wu specially established a new secret organization. The group has many members and is very hidden. The group has strict requirements. The head of the inner guard is called the leader of the pavilion. Each member has a plum blossom tattoo engraved on the left arm, which makes the royal family frightened. Could it be that the Plum Blossom Gate is related to this Plum Blossom Inner Guard?"

"That's right." Xuan Cheng's expression was solemn, "After Emperor Wu's death, the new emperor and ministers led by Zhang Jianzhi hated the inner guards and immediately abolished the Meihua Inner Guard Group. Some of the inner guards were killed, while others were hiding their names and disappeared from then on. However, in the late period of Emperor Xuanzong, a mysterious organization called the Meihua Gate appeared in the world. They specialized in selling intelligence and assassination services. Many people once suspected that the Meihua Gate was the legacy of the Meihua Inner Guards back then."

"What do you mean is Mrs. Gongsun who is the entrance to the Meihua Gate?" Li Jing asked frowned. He never expected that Mrs. Gongsun who was actually involved in the Meihua Gate. What surprised him even more was that Xuan Cheng was a Shaolin monk, how could he know these secret things? He suddenly blurted out, "Do you say you are the entrance to the Six Gate?"

"No, I'm not." Xuan Cheng suddenly took off his robe and exposed his upper body. "The Six Doors and the Plum Blossom Gate have a characteristic, that is, they will have a tattoo sign on their bodies. The Six Doors are the flying eagle on the left and the lackey on the right, while the tattoo sign on the Plum Blossom Gate is a plum blossom."

Xuan Cheng had no trace of tattoo on his body, but Li Jing was still confused, "Then how do you know these secret things?"

"Although I am not, one of my senior brothers who went down the mountain in the early years was the entrance of Liushemen. I met him in Luoyang when I went down the mountain. He intended to lead me into Liushemen, but I did not agree at the time. But one thing he asked me was to help him find out the whereabouts of the plum blossom gate when I was traveling. Therefore, he told me a lot of secret matters about this matter, but these things were actually just some fur."

Li Jing was half-believing and half-doubted, and he asked, "How do you know that Mrs. Gongsun is the entry of the Plum Blossom Sect?"

"Actually, as long as you think about Jianwu Pavilion and Gongsun Auntie, and think about the work they were secretly engaged in, even if you are blind, you can see that Jianwu Pavilion should be a secret helm of the Meihua Gate. Gongsun Auntie must be a leader of the Meihua Gate with a high level. It is very likely that he is the helm master or the hall master level, and it may even be a guardian." Xuan Chengdao.

"It's o." Li Jing nodded, "After you said this, now that I think about it, Aunt Gongsun does have many indescribable relationships with the Plum Blossom Sect. But even so, what's the relationship?"
