The prince is very cruel

Just like the Balance Church, no one knew what kind of monsters they were before, and they were only whitewashed after following Zhao Tai. Those who were not in harmony with the Balance Church naturally became a cult.

"it is good!"

"I promised the old leader!" Guan Ning agreed without any hesitation, very seriously, not because of this arsenal, but because of Hai Mei!

"you sure?"

"This is bound to get you in trouble."

"If the world knew that you, Guan Ning, had an affair with the Holy Lotus Sect, I'm afraid all the heavenly soldiers and generals would come the next day." The old leader narrowed his eyes.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "I haven't lived long in this life, but I have done extraordinary things one after another. Since the leader has asked me to do this, he must trust me."

"I said I agreed, so naturally I'm not afraid."

The word "not afraid" is sonorous and powerful.

The old leader nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!"

"In that case, I am relieved." She said with a gentle look, confident in her own judgment that she would not make a mistake in choosing someone.

"The armory should be in Guangling City. Do you remember the dungeon where you were imprisoned?"

Guan Ning frowned: "I remember, it was underground, but I was blindfolded at the time and didn't know the entrance or exit."

The old leader said: "As far as I know, the armory is also there!"

Guan Ning was shocked. Where was he too?

"Guangdong and Guangxi are now leaderless and in disarray. I heard that Guangling City is already preparing for Zhao Tai's funeral. This is an opportunity."

"But where are the large numbers of troops from Guangdong and Guangxi gathered? If we want to take the arsenal, we need internal support."

"This person is my eyes and ears, you can find him." The old leader took out a note.

"Although he can't help you get the arsenal directly, he is very familiar with the situation there."

Guan Ning took the note with mixed feelings in his heart. The old leader was practically feeding him into his mouth. How could he refuse it?

Killing Zhao Tai and getting rid of a major threat was already something to be happy about, but I didn't expect that I could also get a batch of supplies and weapons.

This is ready-made!

Whether it was the Guan family or the Chamber of Commerce, all they could obtain was money and food. Weapons such as the Zhuge Crossbow could not represent the baggage.

Baggage refers to armor, and armor was the most critical thing in ancient warfare!

With these things, in other words, you can raise a large army with just a wave of your hand!

Faced with the disintegrating Central Plains, such resources are undoubtedly scarce, extremely scarce!

He clenched his fist and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The old leader smiled and said, "No need to thank me, just remember what you promised me."

"Don't worry, Master. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. I, Guan Ning, will stick to my words!" Guan Ning said seriously.

The old leader nodded: "Very good."

"Also, what's going on between you and Mei Niang?"

She spoke back again, but this time, there was a clear hint of curiosity and uncertainty in her voice.

Guan Ning smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "This..."

"I understand." The old leader smiled and said, "I will not be involved in the affairs of you young people."

"You go."

Guan Ning bowed again: "Thank you, Master."

He was extremely grateful. He had thought that this old woman would be difficult to talk to, but he didn't expect her to be so generous to him, like one of her own.

After he left, the old woman watched him go with her snake-head cane and never left.

The red-haired guardian Huangfu Qi stepped forward and whispered, "Master, do you trust him that much?"

"Actually, we can also compete for that arsenal."

There was a hint of reluctance in his tone.

The old woman shook her head. "Even if we get it, what can we do? Occupy the mountain and become the king?"

"Ten years ago, a wandering Taoist priest once read my fortune. He was very thorough and his predictions were psychic. He accurately predicted everything that had happened over the years."

"And most importantly, he said that in ten years the Holy Lotus Church will meet a True Dragon Emperor. I think it will be him."

Hearing this, Huangfu Qi was shocked. True Dragon Emperor?

"I originally wanted to recruit him into the Holy Lotus Sect, but unfortunately... I can only settle for the next best thing." The old woman said quietly.

"..."

After returning to his residence, Guan Ning told Lou Xinyue what happened.

Lou Xinyue was not shocked after hearing this. She just said calmly: "The Holy Lotus Sect has a good idea. They also want to snatch a married man!"

Guan Ning burst out laughing and was about to comfort her, but Lou Xinyue didn't say anything, as if she had tacitly agreed to the relationship between him and Hai Mei.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Guan Ning naturally wouldn't make things difficult for himself.

The next day, Guan Ning entrusted Luo Zhongtian's men to help inquire about the news inside the pass and look for a man named "Gai Yiming".

This person is the spy mentioned in the old leader's note. He is actually the commander of the Guangling City Scout Camp. He is no small official. He has real power and has thousands of scouts under his command. They are responsible for collecting military intelligence from all directions.

It can only be said that the Holy Lotus Sect is not a pushover and has already reached Zhao Tai’s base camp.

Afterwards, Guan Ning began to take a medicinal bath and rest.

He was able to kill Taoist Wuxu because he took that palm strike head-on. This palm strike caused him severe internal injuries. He would feel pain whenever he did strenuous exercise and would vomit blood from time to time.

The best doctor in the Holy Lotus Sect said frankly that an ordinary person would have died instantly. It was a miracle that Guan Ning could hold on, and it would be extremely difficult for him to recover.

The Holy Lotus Sect took out more than one hundred kinds of rare medicinal herbs, including the hundred-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum, purple gold lotus and other extinct herbs in later generations, to help Guan Ning recover.

However, the effect is still not immediate and requires a lot of time and medicinal materials.

three days later.

Good news came, Hai Mei woke up!

Guan Ning arrived as soon as possible, and the old woman and the top leaders of the Holy Lotus Sect were already there.

"Guan Ning."

Hai Mei, who looked pale and extremely weak, forced a smile.

"How is it?" Guan Ning approached, feeling distressed deep in his heart. Such a beautiful flower, but now it has become so sickly, and it seems that it has lost a lot of weight.

"You are not dead, how can I die?" Hai Mei joked and laughed, which moved the wound in her lower abdomen and caused her to feel pain.

"What's wrong?" Guan Ning's face changed.

"It's okay." Hai Mei forced herself to sit up, her hair draped over her shoulders. Even after lying down for so long, she was still as beautiful as a picture scroll and lifelike.

At this time, the old woman gave a look, and the others followed her out.

Lou Xinyue hesitated for a moment: "I'll go check the medicine, you guys chat."

When Guan Ning was about to stay, she left without giving him a chance.

Guan Ning smiled helplessly.

"The sun is rising from the west, and she actually left you alone with me?" Although Hai Mei looked sick, her tone still had that frivolous feeling of playing with the world.

"Say less!"

"You're so badly injured, and you're still joking!" Guan Ning glared, then sat in front of the bed, picked up a piece of orange, and gently peeled it open.

Hai Mei curled her lips and smiled, looking cunning and charming, less like a witch and more like a girl.

Guan Ning fed her an orange and said, "Now that you're awake, I feel relieved."

"What do you mean? Are you treating me as a burden?" Hai Mei squinted her eyes.

"I didn't say that." Guan Ning immediately denied: "I was just afraid of you. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"He's dead."
