Chapter 153 Cooperation
"Mr. Mo Da, why is there such a big reaction? I am not a man-eating devil."
The zhenqi in Mo Da's body circulated at an accelerated pace, and his whole body was extremely nervous.
Imperial Court, Imperial Guards!
To him, who knew some inside stories, these two names were more terrifying than the devil.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this world was extremely prosperous with martial arts masters emerging in large numbers.
Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, Kongtong, Huashan, and Mingjiao each dominate one area. Even Ming Taizu founded the Ming Empire, to a certain extent, there are shadows of Wudang and Mingjiao.
But after Ming Taizu ascended the throne, he launched an extremely bloody purge in the martial arts world. Countless martial arts masters ended miserably under the strong bows, crossbows, artillery and fire of the imperial army.
After that purge, the world fell into silence. In order to protect itself, the Ming Cult changed its name to the Sun and Moon Cult;
Shaolin and Wudang became two pawns used by the imperial court to control the world;
Huashan, Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong are lonely and low-key.
It is precisely because of the decline of various major sects that the rise of Qingcheng, Taishan, Songshan, Hengshan, Hengshan and other sects later occurred.
Although the possibility of rebellion by the Sun Moon God Sect is very low, Dongfang Bubai is addicted to embroidery, and will only fight in the rivers and lakes if left unchecked, but a threat is a threat.
Based on the situation, even if there is no mission, it is imperative to suppress the martial arts world. Those who threaten the imperial power must not be allowed to stay.
With a person like Mo Da, it would be redundant to beat around the bush. Zhu Houzhao immediately said bluntly: "I can save Liu Zhengfeng's life, but I need Mr. Mo Da to cooperate with me."
The Jin Yiwei of the imperial court was involved in the world and wanted to discuss "cooperation" with him. Thinking back to the scene of Zhu Houzhao and Yue Buqun standing side by side that he had seen in Huiyan Tower, a shadow quickly fell on Mo Da's mind.
"Mr. Mo Da, please speak quickly, and I won't talk to you."
Not only is he going to die, Liu Zhengfeng and the Hengshan faction will not be able to escape either.
If you have never really understood Jianghu, you will never know how cruel and vicious Jianghu is.
"What a court that is worried about."
His only choice now is to follow Zhu Houzhao and help Zhu Houzhao complete the task of cleaning up the world.
He and Mo Da were strangers, so why did he look so wary?
And this is the biggest difference between him and Yue Buqun. He at least has some conscience and the magnanimity that a master of the righteous path should have.
Mo Da sighed, knowing that he had no choice.
Zhu Houzhao looked directly into Mo Da's eyes, and was stunned to death. The situation was here, no one dared to refuse, today was the day Mo Da died.
He also has his own weakness. Mount Heng is a hurdle that he cannot overcome no matter what.
There is actually no difference between the Jianghu and the imperial court in essence. They are all exchanges of interests. If the interests are in place, nothing is impossible.
Zhu Houzhao's will did not allow him to refuse.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
There are countless underworld masters and gangs that have been recruited, such as the Yellow River Patriarch, the Mobei Twin Bears, the Five Poison Sect, the Jiujiang Baijiao Gang, and demons and ghosts emerge in endlessly.
Zhu Houzhao has always been very tolerant of people who are aware of current affairs.
Those who get involved with the imperial court will not end well.
Mo Da seemed to be asking Zhu Houzhao, and also seemed to be asking himself.
Otherwise, this beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and lush vegetation is the place where his bones are buried. "The sword is hidden in the piano, and the sword makes the sound of the piano." No matter how powerful it is, it cannot stop the siege of six Sunflower Sword Guards who are comparable to first-class masters.
The huge reactions fell in Zhu Houzhao's eyes one by one, which made Zhu Houzhao feel quite puzzled.
"What the imperial court needs is a stable world. Shaolin, Wudang, Songshan, Qingcheng, Sun Moon Sect and other sects have seriously threatened the stability of the imperial court."
Mo Da exclaimed. Even though he had already made some guesses, when the facts came out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth, he still couldn't believe it.
"Cooperation is fine, but I won't use the sword in my hand to kill those who share the same path."
"Mr. Mo Da, don't refuse in a hurry. Only by eradicating Zuo Lengchan and destroying the Sun Moon God Sect can Hengshan Taoism be preserved. This is a matter of mutual benefit. Mr. Mo Da still needs to think about it carefully."
Mo Da asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Houzhao said coldly.
Conspiracy, there must be a big conspiracy in this.
Real Jianghu people are the same as those who are officials, putting interests first.
There is a price to pay for refusing.
From the few words left by the founder of Hengshan, Mo Da knew some secrets about the great purge. This is why his face suddenly changed when he heard that Zhu Houzhao came from the imperial court and was the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
"The imperial court wants to clean up the world."
Knowing the imperial court's plan and staying out of it, he didn't think Jin Yiwei would be so kind.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and asked the six sword guards to put away their swords. Since Mo Da had the idea of submitting, there was no need to face each other with swords.
"Therefore, I need Mr. Mo Da to cooperate with me to eradicate these martial arts sects one by one."
And Yue Buqun, in order to regain Huashan, has become almost crazy. There are few things he dare not do. No matter whether he is a righteous man or a demon in the underworld, as long as there is an obstacle to the revival and rise of Huashan, Yue Buqun will use all means to eliminate it.
Break the destruction.
"You have the right to choose to cooperate or resist, but if you make the wrong choice, it will be a pity!"
Intimidation mixed with inducements, Zhu Houzhao had already played this game very well.
Not to mention anything else, take the Sun Moon God Sect as an example. Its branches are spread all over the Ming Dynasty, and its sphere of influence even extends to Yunnan.
They are all capable of threatening the imperial court. If we don't suppress them, will we still have to wait for the rebellion to happen?
He has already made his choice. After all, he is not Linghu Chong's "pillar of righteousness" who can ignore everything for the sake of "justice and justice".
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. A simple sentence explains the truth vividly.
"how to cooperate?"
It was also Dongfang Bubai who was addicted to needlework and embroidery, and had lost his ambition to dominate the world in the past. As a result, the Sun and Moon God Sect was in disarray. Otherwise, with the power of the Sun and Moon God Sect, it would definitely give the court a lot of headaches.
"It seems that Mr. Mo Da has a lot of opinions about me and the imperial court!"
"The imperial court is the only ruler of this world. The fighting and fighting in the world over the past few years has exceeded the limit of what the imperial court can endure."
With such a huge force and such strong strength, it is not a problem to assemble an army of tens of thousands in a short period of time.
"Do I still have room to resist?"
Justice and justice are what young people pursue.
The great purge in the early days of the Ming Dynasty had already caused the martial arts world to regress for decades. If it happens again now, wouldn't the martial arts world be in ruins?
This was Mo Da’s last bit of persistence.
Mo Da's heart trembled, the main event was coming.
"Shaolin Wudang is gradually no longer under the control of the imperial court. The Sun and Moon God Sect is causing chaos everywhere, and Songshan is also doing all kinds of evil behind the scenes. If it is not cleaned up, the imperial court will not be at ease."
"I will respect Mr. Mo Da's decision."
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about Mo Da's request. Anyway, Mo Da was just a tool in his eyes. In the current situation of lack of manpower, there were many things that required Mo Da's intervention.
When everything is settled, it doesn't matter to him whether Mo Da goes or stays. After all, Mo Da's character is too withdrawn and his training value is far less than Yue Buqun.
Furthermore, if Mo Da doesn't kill people in the righteous way, then let him kill the demons and scum of the Sun Moon God Sect. No matter how he arranges it, Mo Da is a killing tool, and whoever he kills is not killing.
