Chapter 110: The gongs and drums are in full swing
Cangzhou, Yuanqiao Town.
After nightfall, the waning moon is like a hook, and it is bleak and cold.
Under the cold moonlight, there is a green forest and flowers. Between the flowers and trees, a dilapidated shrine of more than five feet high is set up against the stone wall. The shrine is empty, but there are Buddha paintings painted on the wall, which are wild and lively in shape.
The Buddha sat down and was a lotus throne, as white as snow, divided into twelve petals.
Under the mural, there are three people sitting on the ground, one with a white mask on the top, and the other two with black masks.
One of the black masked men had a irritable voice and said in a deep voice: "That waste Zhao Zhe lost our most important piece of land. Bianliang is the place we have been operating for many years, and the palace is full of our inner circle. We were already ready. Just wait for Zhao Zhe to ascend the throne and we undermine him. As soon as all the rudders take action, they will definitely be able to conquer the country. Unfortunately, they failed and I don't know when they will wait."
The person on his left voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was much calmer, "Jiang Dongjun, why are you anxious? The leader made complete preparations at the beginning, but only a Chen Shou came out in the middle of the journey. I had already arranged personnel and sneaked into Chen Shou's mansion to find an opportunity to assassinate this beast."
The White Lotus Sect is spread all over the world, taking root and sprouting.
Many church members have seen the leader, but few have heard his voice.
Every time the leader wears a mask and a fat robe, covering up his figure.
In fact, there are hundreds of such leaders, and what you see today may not be tomorrow's leaders. They are just the substitutes of the real leaders. The people in charge of the White Lotus in the world are the three people here.
The white masked man in the upper head is Bai Jiuyuan, the descendant of Bai Luo, the founding father of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The two generals under him were also the right-hand men of Prince Fufeng and the descendants of the senior officials in the court, Jiang Dongjun, the descendant of Duke of Wei, and Du Heng, the descendant of the Marquis of Wei.
There were a few confidants who had either rebelled or died for a long time.
Since taking over the White Lotus Sect, Bai Jiuyuan has been hiding in the palace, helping Zhao Zhe accumulate strength, keep his strength and reduce suspicion from Emperor Gengyuan.
With the capital as the boundary, Jiang Dongjun is responsible for the east side, and Du Heng is in charge of the west side.
Qin Yinglian from Wuqing County is one of Jiang Dongjun's many subordinates, which shows that the White Lotus Sect is terrifying.
As the incense master, Qin Yinglian has never seen Jiang Dongjun once, but only seen a few substitutes.
Su Li from Liangzhou is Du Heng's man. She was rescued by the White Lotus Sect since she was a child. She has a relatively innocent life experience and has never committed any crimes, so she was placed in the most dangerous Liangzhou.
Before Chen Shou completely controlled Bianliang, Liangzhou was the most difficult place to develop religious believers. The high prestige of the general's mansion and the policy of the eldest son Li Jin's people comfort made it difficult for them to have room for survival.
Moreover, Li Jin was never ruthless in dealing with the Bailian Sect. They were once terrified of killing them and did not dare to continue to recruit backbones to Liangzhou to preach.
This is also one of the reasons why the White Lotus Sect wanted to kill Li Jin at the beginning.
Bai Jiuyuan slowly raised his hand, took off his mask, his face pale, reached his hand in front of the bonfire, and whispered: "No matter whether Chen Shou dies or not, we are all arrows on the string and have to fire. Let's mess up the world first, and then take advantage of the troubled waters."
The brothers looked at each other, and the blazing fire shone in their pupils, and a catastrophe was about to come.

Bianliang, in Chen Mansion.
Chen Shou looked at Xue Shao in front of him, a little stunned.
"Why... the singer the lady wants to buy is not just..."
Xue Shao was wearing a green dress and dressed like a maid, so he was so uncomfortable no matter how he looked.
She gently folded her skirt, bowed slightly, and said, "Maid Xue Shao, I have met the head of the family."
"Ah, hahaha, you're welcome. Everyone Xue is both good at singing and dancing. I know what you need in the mansion. Just ask Lu'er to speak."
"Xie the head of the family."
Her voice was cold and still the same. Chen Shou laughed a few times, without much greeting, and hurried to Dr. Liu's yard in the backyard.
Xue Shao looked at his back and sighed slightly in his heart. Life experiences are really different.
This man went from a tiny Guizhou Shou to Zuiyue Tower to cheat the first sum of money, and he actually rose so quickly, just like one of the most powerful people in the dynasty.
And I was thinking about Mr. Li who appeared in my dream several times, but it turned out to be his wife, Li Lingyue, the second lady of the General's Mansion in the West.
Chen Shou pushed the door and went in. Dr. Liu was holding a small scale and didn't know what medicine to weigh.
Seeing Chen Shou walking in a hurry, he thought his brother-in-law had another strange disease, "Sir?"
Chen Shou stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said, "Miscellaneous Doctor, I was buying medicinal materials, but I realized that this thing was so slow to put away. I am going to prescribe the medicine field myself, and you will be responsible."
Doctor Liu was a little nervous and asked, "Where did the medicine field come from?"
"Near Bianliang, there are large areas of fertile fields, and some flowers, plants and plants are planted. What kind of birds are used for? Taking advantage of the spring, people will pull them out and make them all medicine fields."
"Ah? That's not...what you said...it's not the royal garden in the suburbs, right?"
“That’s right.”
Doctor Liu was startled, "Is this OK?"
"Don't worry, you are familiar with medicinal materials. I only want Jinchuang medicine to stop bleeding and prevent influenza plague."
"Although the medicinal field can produce a lot of medicinal materials, its efficacy may not be as good as that of wild ones." Dr. Liu whispered.
Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "That doesn't matter. What matters is that the larger the quantity, the better."
Early this morning, news came from the local area that several White Lotus Rebellions broke out in Cangzhou, Shandong and other places.
The bandits and Hedong were the same routine, both breaking the prefectures and counties and taking the people to join their ranks.
A spark could start a prairie fire, Chen Shou concluded that this must have been planned. This small wave of rebellion may be just a test, and there will be greater actions in the future.
After the White Lotus Sect has been preparing for so long, they can no longer turn back. Just like the three brothers Zhang Jiao in the late Han Dynasty, this rebellion is very likely to start a chaotic world.
When the troubled times come, medicinal materials, grain, copper and iron, horses... even if you have money, people will not sell them to you.
It is said that it is the royal flowers and plants. When it is really necessary, it is enough to demolish the palace.
Chen Shou drove the ducks to the shelves and pushed Doctor Liu out of his courtyard and came to a carriage.
With Chen Shou's order, the carriage came to the outskirts of the city, where many people had gathered. They were crazily destroying the Peony Garden in Bianliang, attracting criticism from a group of literati and poets. They were heartbroken and even cried loudly.
The Royal Peony Garden in Bianliang is famous all over the world. When it is midsummer, flowers bloom like a sea of flowers on earth and a fairyland of Yaochi. In addition, it is open to ordinary people to visit, and it is even more sought after by literati.
After getting off the carriage, Chen Shou took off his cloak and brought it to Dr. Liu himself.
"Miscellaneous doctor, I'll leave these people to you. You have the final say in buying seeds and planting medicinal materials. Don't worry about how much you spend, just speak up."
Doctor Liu was even more nervous and asked, "What else do you have to give?"
"It is best to make some simple medicine packs. Those who suffer minor injuries can treat themselves."
Chen Shou's eyes were earnest, and Doctor Liu wiped his forehead and said, "This is simple. I just don't know if there are so many fabrics and medicinal materials."
