"Leader, good news. I've heard about the Golden Retriever Lion King!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ran into a small courtyard with an excited expression.
In the small courtyard, Zhang Wuji, Guangming Left Envoy Yang Xiao, White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao and Wu Sanren were all there.
During this year, Mingjiao used a large number of manpower to search the entire continent, but there was still no news at all.
The Golden Retriever Lion King seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Not long ago, we received some uncertain news that the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun was secretly imprisoned in Shaolin.
Zhang Wuji knew that there were many Shaolin masters, so he summoned all the masters of Mingjiao to gather at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he stood up excitedly.
"Is the news confirmed?"
"Brother Zhu, this is a big deal, you have to be careful!"
Yang Xiao is a prudent person and knows that one bad move will cause a fight between Mingjiao and Shaolin.
"Master, Yang Zuoshi, my subordinates can be sure that this news is absolutely correct. The person who provided the information is the Shaolin vegetable garden steward, Monk Yuan Gen. He delivers meals to the Golden Retriever Lion King every day."
Zhu Yuanzhang carefully took out a strand of yellow hair from his arms and handed it to Zhang Wuji.
Inviting credit, he said: "I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to pry open Monk Yuangen's mouth."
Zhang Wuji saw that this withered yellow hair was unique to his adoptive father, the Golden Retriever Lion King.
"Yes, this is my foster father's hair."
"Brother Zhu, you have made great contributions to our religion!"
Yang Xiao patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder.
"For the sake of the leader and Mingjiao, Zhu Yuanzhang will not hesitate to die!"
It is the rule of Mingjiao that meritorious deeds must be rewarded.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a minor leader of the Five Elements Banner of Mingjiao. He has made great contributions today and must express himself.
Yang Xiao, who acted as the agent for all affairs of the Ming Cult, said: "Brother Zhu, please don't return to the Five Elements Banner. You will stay with the leader for the time being. You will be rewarded separately after you rescue the Lion King."
"Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang takes the order!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt happy. Now that he was with the leader and these big guys, he had entered the core power center of Mingjiao.
This is a step from the bottom to the top.
"Zou Shi Yang, Grandpa, King Bat, what do you think should be done next?"
There are many Shaolin masters, and they are the largest sect in the Central Plains. If they come to ask for someone rashly, there will inevitably be a conflict. This is what Zhang Wuji does not want to see.
"Master, Shaolin dares to secretly imprison my lion king because he has the idea of going against my teacher. From my point of view, I don't need to think more about it and come to ask for it.
If Shaolin doesn't hand over the Lion King, then we will mobilize the Five Elements Flag and the surrounding believers to break up Shaolin. "
The White-browed Eagle King said proudly, not taking Shaolin seriously at all.
Nowadays, the Mingjiao has strong soldiers and horses. Even if there are many Shaolin masters, they are no match for the hundreds of thousands of Mingjiao followers.
Yang Xiao felt something was wrong.
Although the Mingjiao followers are numerous, they are all fighting against the Meng Yuan Tatars. If they rashly mobilize their troops to attack Shaolin, the Tatars will reap the benefits.
It's just that because Eagle King is Zhang Wuji's grandfather, it's hard for him to refute.
"Master, your junior brother, Mr. Qingyun, has a high level of cultivation and controls the Emei and Xiaoyao sects. He has thousands of disciples. If he can be contacted, it will be easy to invade Shaolin."
"But Junior Brother Qingyun disappeared when he went to Heimu Cliff. It will take time to mobilize manpower. Now that I know the news about my adoptive father, how can I let my adoptive father suffer in Shaolin again."
Zhang Wuji frowned, unwilling to waste any more time.
"The leader, Yang Zuoshi, the Eagle King, the Bat King, and Wu Sanren, all my subordinates have a plan that I don't know whether to tell or not?"
"It's a matter of great importance to the Lion King, but it doesn't matter!"
Yin Tianzheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"We can divide our forces into two groups. I will take the leader and the Eagle King to find the Yuangen monk and force him to lead the way to where the Lion King is being held."
"Yang Zuoshi, Bat King, and Wu Sanren went to Shaolin with great fanfare to ask for the Lion King."
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, everyone nodded. This is the best of both worlds.
"Okay, just do as Brother Zhu says."
Zhang Wuji nodded to Zhu Yuanzhang and looked at Yang Xiao, "What Yang Zuoshi said makes sense. With the help of Junior Brother Qingyun, we will be more sure of rescuing the Lion King."
"Okay, let's go together in two steps." Yin Tianzheng agreed loudly.
"Grandpa, Brother Zhu, let's go ahead and find that monk Yuan Gen. Yang Zuo will then go up to Shanglin."
Zhang Wuji looked at the sky and made the final decision.
"Yes, leader."
Everyone immediately started to take action.
Yang Xiao led Wei Bat Wang, Wu Sanren Ming and Mingjiao followers to set up torches, and marched towards Shaolin holding the open flames.
Zhang Wuji and Yin Tianzheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang through the mountains and forests and secretly entered the Shaolin vegetable garden.
At this time, Yuan Gen was lying leisurely on the recliner with his eyes closed.
Suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing across his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw three people, old, middle and young, standing in front of him.
I knew the middle-aged man, Yuan Gen sat up with a smile on his face.
He knew very well that the person who spent 10,000 taels to buy the news about the Golden Retriever Lion King must be someone from the Ming Cult.
At this moment, the three of them came to the vegetable garden, it must be about the Golden Retriever Lion King.
Chen Youliang had told him that if anyone came to ask him about the Golden Retriever Lion King, he would take them to the small mountain first.
"Who do I think you are? It turns out to be you, the benefactor. I wonder why the benefactor came to the monk's vegetable garden so late?"
"Master, I'm here to ask for your help." Zhu Yuanzhang took out a stack of banknotes from his arms again and pressed it on Yuan Gen's hand, "Master, please take us to the place where the Golden Retriever Lion King is imprisoned."
"this...."
It was difficult to act because of the reasons, and the way he hesitated to speak made the White-browed Eagle King frown.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he immediately took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and stuffed them into Yuan Gen's hand.
"Master, the Golden Retriever Lion King has a big grudge against us. No matter what, as long as you can take us there and let us take revenge, we will all remember your kindness. If anything happens in the future, feel free to come to us."
"Well, seeing that the donor is so cheerful, I will help you even if I risk my life."
Yuan Gen stuffed the banknotes into his arms with a smile on his face, and led Zhang Wuji and the others out of Shaolin and towards the small mountain peak.
When the Westerners came to the foot of the small mountain peak, Yuan Gen pointed to the steep mountain wall and said, "The Golden Retriever Lion King is locked up in the cave above. The young monk is of low skill, and someone has to put down the hanging basket every time he goes up."
"Master, how many guards are there?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Not many, three old monks." After Yuan Gen finished speaking, he bowed to the three of them, "The young monk has brought me Lu, and I will not participate in the following matters. I wish all the donors' wishes will come true."
"Master, if you deceive us, come and see."
The white-browed eagle king formed three claws and grabbed the protruding stone on the mountain wall. Five deep scratches were immediately left on the stone.
