I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 133 What I said is the truth
Unlike Guo Jing and his wife, Zhao Zhijing asked his disciples to observe in seclusion and then told them the truth about the conflict.

The matter of the Gongping Religion was naturally not mentioned, and it was only said that the prefect Ding Weizhong might have evil intentions, so he made such a plan.

Otherwise, the first real combat would have to take place in a few days, and too heavy a psychological burden would affect both pre-war mobilization and on-the-spot performance.

As expected, everyone had a relieved expression, especially Yang Guo, who had been absent-minded and finally came to his senses.

After all, the master had never been so angry in front of his disciples, especially over such a trivial matter.

"It has been a while since each of you has made your own weapons for your martial arts. You must practice harder in the next few days, especially the conversion between swordsmanship and other weapons, as well as the deployment of the Tiangang Beidou formation and the four-man formation."

Zhao Zhijing solemnly warned all his disciples, "It is impossible for your teacher to protect you for your whole life, so you should all be alert and do your best to improve your martial arts in the real arena full of dangers and uncertainties!"

"I faked an injury to lure out the mastermind. Therefore, I will not help you until the last moment. Don't count on luck."

"Yes, Master!"

All the disciples bowed without any hesitation. The fact that their master suddenly fought with an outsider was enough of a reminder for them.

If Guo Jing and his wife really wanted to make things difficult for their master, would they, as disciples, have to watch their master get hurt or even die because of their lack of strength?
In comparison, it is much simpler to fight the bandits from Erlongshan with real guns and swords.

"Also, just because we haven't seen any outside visitors recently doesn't mean that no one is watching us in secret."

"Qingxing, you are responsible for arranging the brothers to take turns on duty, but you don't have to catch anyone. Just scare them away when you find them."

After arranging everything, Zhao Zhijing pretended to be injured and seldom showed up on weekdays. No matter how many people on Yunu Peak were secretly investigating, he left it to his disciples to deal with.

It was not until the hour of Mao five days later that Liu Qingxing came to the quiet room where Zhao Zhijing was with a letter.

"Master, someone left this letter at the mountain gate."

Zhao Zhijing took it and read it carefully. It contained all the news about Ding Weizhong and the Erlongshan bandits. There was also a bamboo stick drawn at the end of the letter.

The Beggars' Sect is indeed an expert at gathering information, and with Huang Rong in charge this time, it should be a sure thing.

"You and Qingzhi should pack up and follow me down the mountain later."

The Zuwang Temple on Yunu Peak was reopened, and the temple master Zhao Zhijing brought two disciples down the mountain to Huazhou City.

The prefect Ding Weizhong had just come to court and dismissed a case concerning the ownership of the ancestral home. He thought that if he didn't teach these unruly people a lesson, they would always refuse to hand over real money.

"No matter which side gives more tribute in the end, I will find a way to confiscate that ancestral home!"

After giving instructions to his master, Ding Weizhong returned to the backyard. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard a servant come in to report that Master Zhao from Huashan was here to visit.

"Please, please, please!"

Ding Weizhong could not forget Huang Rong for a long time after seeing her at Jade Maiden Peak last time. However, due to the reputation of Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi and the Beggars' Sect, he dared not take any action.

Unexpectedly, news came that Zhao Zhijing had a conflict with Guo Jing and his wife, and both were injured in the fight.

I originally thought that the matter of Erlongshan would be put on hold for the time being, but I didn't expect that after just a few days, Zhao Zhijing would take the initiative to come here.

"Lord Ding."

"Master Zhao!"

Ding Weizhong still looked respectful and came out to greet him personally. He secretly looked at Zhao Zhijing's expression and found that he didn't look like he was injured.

The two came to the main hall and exchanged pleasantries. Ding Weizhong deliberately did not mention the matter of Erlong Mountain, but only talked about the customs and practices of Huazhou. Zhao Zhijing listened quietly at first, but after a while, he seemed to be unable to hold back and said with a cupped hand: "Master Ding, I came here this time to talk to you about the matter of Erlong Mountain."

Ding Weizhong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Has Immortal Master Zhao made a decision?"

"Exactly."

"Lord Ding personally asked me to come out of seclusion to protect the safety of the people. I deeply admire you."

Zhao Zhijing sat up straight and said with some urgency in his tone: "To be honest, the people that Lord Ding met at the mountain gate at that time were the famous couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong in the martial arts world."

"I had a very pleasant conversation with the couple, and during the conversation we mentioned the matter of Erlong Mountain. Hero Guo immediately expressed his willingness to help. In this way, even if Erlong Mountain is ten times more dangerous, it is nothing to worry about."

Ding Weizhong was a little unsure when he saw that what Zhao Zhijing said was completely opposite to what he had heard. He then tentatively said, "That's great."

"Although I am in the imperial court, I have heard of the great names of Guo Jing and his wife. I wonder where they are now. I will go with Master Zhao to invite them to show our sincerity!"

Zhao Zhijing had a bit of an unhappy look on his face, but it disappeared immediately. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Heroes like Mr. Guo are always elusive, but since he has accepted the offer, I believe he will show up when the time comes."

You stinky Taoist priest, how dare you deceive me.

Ding Weizhong thought that Guo Jing and his wife had clearly settled in Huayin County. Not only did they rarely show up in public, they also secretly sent medicinal herbs to them.

If it was really as Zhao Zhijing said, how could he not even know where Guo Jing was?
"Master Zhao is right. I don't really know much about the affairs of the martial arts world. Please don't laugh at me, Master Zhao."

"Don't dare."

Zhao Zhijing continued, "I will need Lord Ding to send some soldiers to follow me when I go to Erlong Mountain this time."

"This way, we can have someone to take care of us. Secondly, God has a merciful heart. Unless they are ruthless criminals who have committed many crimes, I don't want to kill any more of them. After I capture them, I will hand them over to Lord Ding for punishment."

Ding Weizhong said happily: "Master Zhao is indeed a great man. After the mission is accomplished, I will report to the court to commend the master and inform all the counties and towns under my jurisdiction to spread the praises of the master's merits."

Zhao Zhijing smiled slightly after hearing this, and seemed to be very pleased.

"No wonder he didn't agree directly last time. It turns out he is someone who doesn't care about money or fame."

Ding Weizhong thought for a moment and felt that he had guessed Zhao Zhijing's intention, but he was still not completely sure. He tried again, "I wonder when Master Zhao is going to take action to eliminate the harm of Erlong Mountain for the people of Huazhou?"

"There is no time to waste. If we delay, something unexpected will happen. I think Lord Ding can start preparing manpower now and go to Erlong Mountain tomorrow!"

"Um"

Ding Weizhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily, "As Immortal Master Zhao said, I will order someone to gather the troops right away."

"But if Mr. Guo and his wife haven't arrived, what should we do?"

Zhao Zhijing chuckled, "The Jianghu is so vast that it's not surprising that some people are not worthy of their reputation."
