This tall man is none other than the left guardian of "Shou Cao Dao", named Huang Jing.

The "Great Sage Heavenly Master" of "Shou Cao Dao" is called Sun Bao.

Sun Baoyuan was a fisherman in Donglai County, the easternmost part of Qingzhou. When the Yellow Turban Army was in rebellion, he and about a dozen fishermen from the village rushed to Le'an State to join Qu Commander Sima Ju here, hoping to make a living.

Unexpectedly, Sima Ju saw that he was a dwarf and ignored him at all. In the end, he only accepted the other fishermen who were traveling with him and drove him out of the camp.

Sun Bao had nowhere to go and had to beg for a living in Le'an Country.

Later, Boss Cao sent Xia Houyuan to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion, and easily wiped out Sima Ju. The Yellow Turban Army either died or escaped, and those who survived were all captured alive by Boss Cao, and were eventually organized into Boss Cao's subordinates.

"Qingzhou Soldiers".

After Boss Cao left, Le'an Country soon fell into a state of chaos without government control.

Although Sun Bao is not big, he is a person who is good at judging the situation.

Under this situation, he felt that his opportunity had come, so he started a new "Shou Cao Dao" based on the "Taiping Dao".

Then he replaced the "Fu Shui Cure" used by Zhang Jiao with the "Elixir Cure" which also had a mass base, and treated the local people for free. Those who saw slight improvement were attributed to their own efforts and preached everywhere.

If you create your own momentum, if it cannot be cured, it will be said that you have committed too many sins and your life span has expired, so you are unable to recover.

After two years of manipulation, Sun Bao finally became famous in the Le'an area, and the "Shou Cao Dao" also gained a certain mass base.

This is when Sun Bao's ambition finally came to light.

He immediately used the name of the preacher to hold sacrifices in Qiancheng County, gathered a crowd to take possession of the "Buddha Ren Temple" that he had long been optimistic about, and designated it as the "Shou Cao Dao" main altar.

Since then, "Shou Cao Dao" has officially established itself in Le'an.

Seeing that "Shou Cao Dao" had gained some momentum, the government and local nobles had suffered losses from the Yellow Turban Army before, so they did not dare to antagonize "Shou Cao Dao" and would even make some contributions to build a good relationship with him.

Seek self-protection.

As a result, "Shou Cao Dao" entered a period of rapid development, and soon the number of believers in this area reached 10,000.

However, as the number of believers increased, more and more materials were needed to support it. Sun Bao gradually felt that he was unable to do what he wanted. At this time, Huang Jing took the initiative to offer advice.

Huang Jingyuan was a local boy from a poor family. Although he was not as poor as Liu Bei in his early years and relied on weaving straw sandals for a living, he still lived a very difficult life in troubled times...

His advantage is that he has some education and is more thoughtful and knowledgeable than Sun Bao, who was born a fisherman.

Under his suggestion, the strange incident of "Yin soldiers crossing the border" occurred in Le'an Kingdom. This not only solved the material problem of "Shou Cao Dao", but also further increased the number of believers of "Shou Cao Dao" and developed to what it is today.

Tens of thousands.

So Huang Jing was appointed by Sun Bao as the left guardian of "Shou Cao Dao".

His status and power are second only to Sun Bao, the "Great Sage Master".

As the power of "Shou Cao Dao" gradually expanded, Sun Bao's ambitions also gradually expanded, and he began to seek to penetrate and expand beyond Le'an Kingdom.

At this time, it was Huang Jing who persuaded him again.

Huang Jing took the previous Yellow Turban Army as an example and analyzed the powerful relationship between them for Sun Bao: The reason why no one cares about "Shou Cao Road" now is because the powerful powers are fighting each other and have no intention of taking into account the small place of Le'an Country.

If the "Shou Cao Dao" expands further, it will inevitably touch the interests of powerful powers from all walks of life, and they will definitely lead troops to conquer it.

Therefore, "Shou Cao Dao" should stop expanding, first cultivate its own armed forces here, protect itself as much as possible, and then use both sides to gain a foothold in this troubled world.

If we expand hastily, we will destroy our own way of survival.

Sun Bao thought Huang Jing was right, so he accepted his advice, and from then on he settled down to be the King of the Mountain in Le'an Kingdom.

Since then, Huang Jing has become more valued by Sun Bao.

He left almost all the matters of "Shou Cao Dao" to Huang Jing to take care of, and he became a local emperor and lived a luxurious and luxurious life...

In other words, "Shou Cao Dao" is actually controlled by two people now.

One is the "Great Sage Heavenly Master" Sun Bao, and the other is the "Left Protector" Huang Jing.

As for the "right protector" Wen Renzhao, she only closed a position and did not hold real power in her hands.

However, Sun Bao and Huang Jing cannot completely ignore her.

Just because Wen Renzhao is the daughter-in-law of the Wen Ren family, the largest family in Qiancheng County.

A relatively famous ancestor of the Wen Ren family in modern times was called "Wen Ren Xi". He was once worshiped as a Taiwei like Boss Cao's father, Cao Song. He was truly a big shot among the three nobles and was in charge of the military affairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This large-scale "Buddha Renci" in Qiancheng County was built by the Wen family.

Later, after being troubled by the Yellow Turban Army, the Wen family was also greatly affected. Although their power was not as strong as before, it was still an unshakable powerhouse in Qiancheng County.

Later, "Shou Cao Dao" gathered people to occupy "Bu Tu Ren Temple".

Wen Rengong, the current head of the Wen Ren family, was frightened after suffering the losses of the Yellow Turban Army. Not only did he not dare to pursue the matter, he also provided a lot of supplies to "Shou Cao Dao" to protect himself, and eventually gave it to Wen Ren Zhao.

He took the position of "Right Protector" and became a partner of "Shou Cao Dao".

In fact, there are many young masters in Wen Renzhao's family, and the position of "right protector" was not originally for Wen Renzhao.

Unexpectedly, after the "Great Sage Heavenly Master" Sun Bao met Wen Renzhao by chance, he actually insisted on letting Wen Renzhao serve as the "right protector". As for what exactly Wen Renzhao was thinking, Wen Renzhao actually understood clearly. Sun Bao was just moving.

He was obsessed with sex and wanted to use this method to keep Wen Renzhao by his side, looking for opportunities to play unspoken rules.

In the end, Wen Renjia reluctantly chose to compromise.

But Wen Renzhao is not a soft persimmon who can be exploited by others. After becoming the "right protector", she not only did not let Sun Bao take any advantage, but sometimes deliberately gave Sun Bao some fright, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

After all, judging from Wen's power in Qiancheng County, even if he can't compete with "Shou Cao Dao", if he really turns his back, "Shou Cao Dao" will still be hurt.

I heard that people keep compromising for the so-called family interests.

But only Wen Renzhao used a tough attitude to prevent Sun Bao from making further advances, and truly protected the family's interests to a certain extent.

then.

"Shou Cao Dao" formed the current situation.

Sun Bao, the "great sage heavenly master", and Huang Jing, the "protector on the left" are in the same spirit, while Wen Renzhao, the "protector on the right", has a clear boundary with them.

calm.

Of course, the core power must still be in the hands of Sun Bao and Huang Jing.

Wen Renzhao is just an empty "right protector". Except for some trivial matters, he can't care about anything else.

And beneath this "calm" surface.

Some things are also going on secretly...

…

Following Wen Renzhao and leaving the "Pagoda Ren Temple", the group came to a Wen Renzhao's house.

Wen Renzhao ordered people to take Wu Liang and others to an uninhabited yard, and sent people to deliver some food and clothing, but they never showed up again.

Bai Jingjing has also arranged to enter this yard in advance.

"Before you came, I had already turned around. This is a very isolated courtyard. There are retainers guarding the door. It is almost impossible for us to communicate with the outside world."

After there were no outsiders in the yard, Wu Liang and others walked into the largest living room together. Bai Jingjing lowered her voice and said to everyone, "I'm afraid this woman wants to imprison us in this way. It seems that she has no trust at all."

us."

"It doesn't matter whether you trust or not, all we have to do now is delay."

Wu Liang grinned and said, "From today on, no matter what happens in the city, as long as it does not affect our safety, we will try our best not to listen, ask nothing, and wait until the envoy Jun's army arrives to solve all problems.

It’s all solved.”

"Young Master is absolutely right."

After hearing this, Yu Ji immediately nodded crazily, "During this period, you must not act rashly. Even if you suffer some grievances, you should bear it. When the emperor's army arrives, it will not be too late for us to settle accounts with those people."

"But I think this woman doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us."

Yang Wanli interjected, "Who is the Great Sage Heavenly Master? We have just seen it in the main altar. This woman ordered Miss Bai to cover her face with a veil in advance and sent Miss Bai here in advance. How?

It seems that they are all protecting Miss Bai from being coveted by the 'Great Sage Heavenly Master'."

"In addition, I don't think the relationship between this woman and the Great Sage Heavenly Master is very harmonious. At least at that time, the tone of their conversation was extremely acrimonious, and there was even a hint of secret competition... I don't know.

Did I hear wrongly? This matter still needs to be decided by the young master."

"Yang Wanli's analysis is good, but these are just our feelings and cannot be used to judge the actual situation of 'Shou Cao Dao'."

Wu Liang nodded, then frowned and said, "There is just one detail that makes me a little confused about this woman's true thoughts, and I am still unable to make an accurate judgment."

"What details?"

Everyone asked in confusion.

"Previously, in order to show my sincerity, I regarded ourselves as part of the contribution."

Wu Liang said, "But when this woman reported to the Great Sage Heavenly Master, she only mentioned horses and supplies, but ignored us. I don't know whether she did it intentionally or was an unintentional oversight."

"Young master, what do you mean...?"

Yu Ji frowned and asked.

"If it is an unintentional oversight, then it is naturally for the best. We can wait for the arrival of the envoy's army with peace of mind."
