Chapter 13: Plan ahead for the Ming Cult!

Of course, the four ministers believed Murong Fu very much.

They watched Murong Fu grow up, and they knew best whether Murong Fu had done anything or not.

What's more, in recent times, Murong Fu has been practicing martial arts at home and has not left Yanziwu.

Is it possible to fly to the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Luoyang to kill people?
"It's all because our Murong family is so famous for giving people a taste of their own medicine that whenever someone dies from one of our famous skills, our Gusu Murong family will be the first to be suspected by our friends in the martial arts world." Deng Baichuan sighed, "In the past, they were just small sects that we could easily deal with, but this time it's different. The Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world and it's not easy to deal with!"

Gong Yeqian said solemnly: "During the time of the previous leader Wang, the Beggars' Sect was less powerful than Shaolin. Now, under the leadership of their Qiao Feng, it is thriving. It has assassinated the Liao general and fought against the Xixia Yipintang. It has overshadowed the Shaolin Temple."

Murong Fu listened and thought to himself: Could this be the reason why the Qiao Feng household registration book incident suddenly broke out?
Was it because Qiao Feng led the Beggars' Sect too well, threatening the dominant position of the Shaolin Temple, so Abbot Xuan Ci secretly guided Qiao Feng to fall into disgrace and the Beggars' Sect to the point of never being able to recover?
Is Xuan Ci’s level that high?

"No, no!" Hearing Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian talking about how powerful the Beggars' Sect was, Bao Bu Tong shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the Beggars' Sect is mostly just a mob, a group of beggars who want to beg for food. There are only a few elders, who are no different from us. And Qiao Feng is as famous as Young Master, and is about the same as Young Master. So, the Beggars' Sect is about the same as our Gusu Murong Sect."

Bao Bu Tong usually doesn't speak sensible words, but today he said something quite reasonable.

Nan Murong is not just a name, but also a force in the underworld.

The four great generals can completely match the four elders of the Beggars' Sect. In any case, they will be evenly matched in a fight.

Murong Fu is also a benchmark for Qiao Feng.

It is true that the Beggars' Sect has a large number of people and is powerful, but Yanziwu also has many green forest heroes under its name.

Only family members know their own affairs. Murong Fu knows that he cannot beat Qiao Feng at this stage. Qiao Feng's natural supernatural power is too rogue.

As the fight goes on, the brute force breaks out and the combat effectiveness soars. What's going on?
Moreover, Qiao Feng is four years older than Murong Fu and his internal strength is even stronger.

Of course, if Murong Fu's mentality was not broken, it would take a thousand moves for him to fight with Qiao Feng normally and decide the winner.

Murong Fu suffered defeats everywhere in Shaoshi Mountain afterwards, and was even defeated instantly by Qiao Feng in one move. That was because of his mental breakdown. Moreover, Qiao Feng's martial arts had improved a lot at that time, and he could even break through the defense of the Sweeping Monk.

During this period, Qiao Feng was half as strong as Murong Fu.

But when the battle of Shaoshi Mountain came, Qiao Feng was thinking about how to kill Murong Fu in a short time.

Just because Qiao Feng made such great progress, his martial arts skills reached a new level in just half a year.

However, if Murong Fu were to use the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, it doesn’t necessarily mean he would lose, it’s just that he often doesn’t have the chance to use it.

How powerful is Dou Zhuan Xing Yi?
Murong Fu has only just gotten started with the art of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and is still far from mastering it, but he has already been able to catch the Child-like Grandma of Tianshan and Xu Zhu who fell off a cliff. This performance is comparable to Zhang Wuji's use of the Great Shift of the Universe to catch people at the Wan'an Temple.

Even the Child-Fairy of Tianshan said that Dou Zhuan Xing Yi was a skill she had never seen before, using the opponent's force to counter attack, and it was truly superb!
Therefore, Murong Fu did not think that Murong Longcheng's invincibility in the world was bragging. He was truly amazing after practicing Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to the pinnacle.

However, Murong Fu's Dou Zhuan Xing Yi was only at the entry level and had not yet reached the highest level.

Otherwise, when fighting Ding Chunqiu, he could directly counter the Hua Gong Dafa instead of transferring it to Ding Chunqiu's disciples.

"Brother Bao San is right, but we are being wronged, so it would be best if we don't fight the Beggars' Sect." Murong Fu said, "I think the Beggars' Sect leader Qiao Feng is a reasonable person, he shouldn't be so rash as to bring people here for revenge."

Murong Fu had a good impression of Qiao Feng.

When it comes not to the leader, Qiao Feng is quite brave and resourceful.

But as soon as the leader was involved, Qiao Feng's intelligence instantly dropped.

He just couldn't figure out who was the leader who could lead the Beggars' Sect leader Wang Jiantong, and even thought that Duan Zhengchun of Dali's Duan family had the qualifications and prestige to lead the Central Plains martial arts world.

This is like someone saying that there was a big brother in the Song Dynasty who could lead the Privy Council and the prime minister, but some people just couldn't guess that this big brother was the emperor.

Who else in the Central Plains martial arts world is qualified to lead Wang Jiantong except the abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple?
Except for the fact that Qiao Feng's level was too low when dealing with the problem of the leader, his performance when dealing with the problem of Murong Fu was remarkable.

Qiao Feng did not conclude that Murong Fu was the murderer just because of the rumors. Instead, he went south to investigate for several months. During this period, he encountered Feng Bo'e and had an argument with a dung carrier, and also had three palm fights with Gong Ye Qian. After seeing the uprightness of Murong's disciples, he believed that Murong Fu was unlikely to be the murderer.

Qiao Feng was initially very fond of Murong Fu. He saved Ah Zhu not because he liked Ah Zhu, but because Ah Zhu was Murong Fu's person. So for Murong Fu, the Beggars' Sect under Qiao Feng's leadership was not a recent problem.

Deng Baichuan was surprised and said, "Young Master, you really know this Qiao Gang Leader. As soon as Ma Dayuan died, the people led by the law enforcement elder Bai Shijing shouted that they wanted to seek revenge on our Murong family. It was Qiao Feng who felt that this matter was suspicious and wanted to investigate it thoroughly."

"Qiao Feng has already headed south to investigate this matter. Young Master, you must be prepared!"

The Murong family's rebellion was not very powerful, but they were often the first to know the news in the underworld. After all, their families have been in the underworld for generations.

"It's okay. When you meet Qiao Feng, tell him about this matter and I will give him an explanation in person." Murong Fu sneered in his heart. Kang Min and Bai Shijing actually dared to let him take the blame. They really didn't know how to live or die. "As for me, I have to go to Dali soon."

"Why does the young master want to go to Dali?" Gong Yeqian asked curiously.

"It's like this, Ah Zhu's life story." Murong Fu only talked about Ah Zhu's life story, and then said, "If our Murong family wants to restore the country, we must make more friends. With Ah Zhu's relationship, we can make friends with the Duan family of Dali. Dali is a good place for the production of tea and horses. Just doing business with the Duan family of Dali, we can make money continuously!"

Deng Baichuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "The Tea-Horse Trade Route is a lucrative business! I know a businessman named Ma Wude in Dali who has made a fortune just by selling tea. The Song Dynasty has always been short of horses. If we can buy horses, we can make more money!"

Bao Bu Tong said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Sister Azhu is actually the daughter of the King of Zhennan in Dali. If that's the case, why don't you marry Sister Azhu? According to you, Duan Zhengchun is the future emperor of Dali, and you will be the prince consort of Dali by then. There is a lot to be done!"

"That's not a bad idea, let's talk about it later!" Murong Fu said, "Anyway, I'm going to Dali to work for the restoration of the country. The four brothers can't be idle either!"

Deng Baichuan felt that Murong Fu was now doing things in an orderly manner, and there were indeed visible benefits, so his enthusiasm increased a lot, and he said, "Master, please give me your orders!"

Murong Fu said: "Brother Deng, I want you to organize a caravan and find out the situation of the tea-horse trade route. Once we have reached an agreement with the Duan family of Dali, we will start doing business as quickly as possible to accumulate capital for the restoration of the country."

"Yes!" Deng Baichuan was extremely happy, he just loved doing business!

"Second Brother Gongye!" Murong Fu said, "I want you to go on a long journey. Do something for me."

Gongye Qian asked, "What's the matter?"

Murong Fu said, "There is an organization called Mingjiao on Guangmingding of Kunlun Mountain. I hope you can help me investigate it. This Mingjiao is also called Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism. It was introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, their Great Guangming Temple was built in Chang'an and Luoyang."

"Later, the Huichang Persecution, Emperor Wuzong of Tang destroyed Buddhism, and the Mingjiao was also affected and went underground. I heard that their headquarters is at Guangmingding, and I want to learn more about them."

Gong Yeqian was surprised and asked, "Why does Master want to know about this Ming Cult?"

Murong Fu said: "There are two reasons. The first reason is that their magical skill, the Great Shift of the Universe, is related to the Shift of the Stars of our Murong family. The second reason is that I heard that the Ming Cult has been plotting a rebellion and has been accumulating strength for a hundred years, so it has a strong foundation. Our Murong family wants to restore the country, so why not take over the Ming Cult's foundation?"

The Ming Cult was very prosperous during the Tang Dynasty, but now it has become quiet and acts in secret.

At this time, the Ming Cult is preparing for a rebellion. About twenty years later, the Ming Cult leader Fang La will rise up and claim to be the Yongle Emperor.

Of course, it couldn't control this era name and it failed.

Interestingly, during the Tianlong era, Huang Shang, the author of the Nine Yin Scriptures, was already fifty years old, older than Murong Fu, and was serving as the prefect of Fuzhou.

Huo Shan, the old man in the mountains who created the martial arts of the Holy Fire Order, is also active in the Western Regions as an Assassin killer, shocking kings of various countries.

This is a turbulent era!

"So that's how it is, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Gongye Qian said.

"When necessary, you can join the Ming Cult." Murong Fu said, "Anyway, I will definitely join the Ming Cult in the future. I think the position of the leader of the Ming Cult is prepared for me."

Bao Bu Tong could no longer hold back and asked, "Master, what should I do?"

"You..." Murong Fu hesitated for a moment, "You and Fourth Brother Feng should prepare to recruit soldiers. Go and recruit some miners or honest farmers, especially those who have been bullied and oppressed. Gather them together. On the surface, we are training them to guard the courtyard, but in fact, we are training soldiers."

"The people in the underworld are all slick petty people who cannot be trusted at all. We still have to train our own team!"
