Zhang Lu fell into silence and did not answer.

He knew what Zhang Xiu's words meant.

You can even guess what the deputy leader wants to do!

However, this way, it is destined that one of the two of them will die within the five buckets of rice!

He must die too!

That scene was not what Zhang Lu wanted to see.

The relationship between him and Zhang Xiu is not as bad as outsiders say.

In fact, the two brothers were so close that even the position of leader was given to each other for a long time. In the end, because of Zhang Xiu's tricks, the position of leader finally fell to Zhang Lu.

On the body.

At that time, Leader Zhang was angry for a long time and ignored this junior brother for three hours.

However, the raw rice has been cooked, and he has received the Taoist tokens. In the end, naturally he can only let it go and sit in the position of the leader with peace of mind, working hard and long for the development and growth of the Five Pecks of Rice Tao.

It was not easy for Wu Dou Mi Road to improve.

However, at this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Because of the chaos of the Yellow Turban Taiping Road, the whole world was in chaos.

Although the imperial court clearly issued instructions to ban sects, officials and powerful people in various places also paid more attention to these sects and began to use various means to suppress, infiltrate and even control them.

This put Wudou Mi Road, which had just made some progress back then, into crisis.

In desperation, we can only find ways to make those officials feel that they are not important and cannot pose a threat.

So, what's the best way?

Infighting!

Internal division!

There is no need for those officials to say that Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu took the lead and spontaneously led the Daozhong believers to divide into two factions and fight with each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of those officials.

Seeing such five buckets of rice, the officials' wariness was lifted.

After all, a five-peck rice road that keeps fighting among itself is just a bubble even if it expands again.

Poke it and he explodes!

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the Five Dou Rice Road is not a threat at all.

Naturally, I won't take it seriously.

Otherwise, Liu Yan would not have chosen to conquer the Five Dou Rice Road and control Yizhou through the Five Dou Rice Road!

All of this also proves that Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's acting skills are very good, and they deceived those guys for a time.

They even had to believe it.

"Maybe we have other options." Zhang Lu stared at Zhang Xiu for a long time before speaking out and saying these words.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Maybe. But as far as the current situation is concerned, we have no choice. This is the only way we can choose!"

"Today's court is in chaos. Liu Zhoumu has been in Yizhou for a long time. With our help, he has established a firm foothold in the entire Yizhou."

"Just now, the boy from the outer sect sent a message, saying that a hussar general from the imperial court came to Xicheng County with Liu Yan's soldiers. If Pindao guessed correctly, he is going to attack Hanzhong!"

"Eradicate Su Gu and completely incorporate Hanzhong into his own territory, and you, senior brother, are also one of his goals."

Zhang Lu frowned slightly, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, lowered his voice and asked: "Do you think Liu Yan is going to attack Pindao?"

"It's possible. However, their first target is definitely not the Five Pecks of Rice, but the Infinite Sect!"

"Use Wuliang Sect as an excuse to send troops to kill all the officials and forces in Yizhou who are not satisfied with us. By then, we will unify Yizhou and have the entire Yizhou in our hands!" Zhang Xiu replied.

At this moment, he looked less like a Taoist and more like a counselor. In his words, he had already explained the current situation in Yizhou and Liu Yan's future action plan.

Zhang Lu fell into silence after hearing this. He frowned slightly, but he couldn't help but have some other thoughts in his heart.

"Perhaps, we can remain as we are now! Or, junior brother, you can step in and deliberately curry favor with Liu Zhoumu. In this case, I think that Liu Zhoumu will be happy to see you and I fighting to the death!" Zhang Lu tried his hand.

asked a question.

However, when Zhang Xiu heard this suggestion, he just smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "No, senior brother, please don't underestimate our great Zhou Mu."

"Furthermore, my wife said that the Zhou Mu came to Yizhou to find dragon energy. If this man really becomes the king in Yizhou in the future, how will you and I, our senior fellow apprentices, deal with themselves?

"

"It would be better for me, Senior Brother Cheng Quan, to assist the Master Zhou Mu wholeheartedly. In this way, I, the Five Pecks of Rice, may have a chance to become a state religion!"

When the word "state religion" was mentioned, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but reveal a trace of yearning on his face.

Let me ask you, among the sects in the world, who doesn’t want to be recognized by the emperor and respected as the state religion? From then on, thousands of people will become believers. This is a great good!

It is better to govern a country by people than by teachings; it is better to govern a country by etiquette than by teachings!

If all people in the world can join my sect, everyone will gain great wisdom and the way to ascend to heaven, this will be a great good!

All these are what Zhang Xiu has in mind.

"Senior brother, there is no need to say any more. Foolish brother has already made a calculation in his heart. It is useless for senior brother to say more."

Seeing that Zhang Lu was about to say something when he opened his mouth, Zhang Xiu immediately said.

Hearing this, Zhang Lu swallowed back the words that had just rushed into his throat. He was speechless for a long time and could only look up at Zhang Xiu and sighed helplessly.

"That's all, Brother Wei knows your character. In this case, Brother Wei doesn't say much. These matters will be discussed later. What we should pay attention to now is the intention of the person from Xicheng County. Before him

Before arriving, Pindao had not received any news at all."

"I also asked my junior brother to take care of the congregation on my behalf. I have to go to Xicheng County in person and pay homage to the hussar general." Zhang Lu said.

Zhang Xiu had no objection.

Xiao Wen’s identity and the relationship between him and Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu had informed him before.

Therefore, he knew something about Xiao Wen, the cavalry general.

Now when I heard Zhang Lu talking about it, he naturally did not stop him. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Senior brother, are you worried that something will happen during their trip?"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "A few days ago, my mother Fei Ge sent a letter, informing them of what happened to them and Liu Yan. However, the letter only gave a general outline. We still have to go and see the hussar general to know the specific situation.

"

"We are not on our way home, but we are here with a group of soldiers. This step taken by Mr. Liu is really thought-provoking! I need to think about it carefully."

Zhang Xiu nodded. Hearing the fear in his senior brother's heart, he did not stop him. He bowed his hands and said:

"Senior brother, I'm just leaving. I have a poor Taoist here, so I don't have any intention to worry about the matters in the teaching." Zhang Xiu said while cupping his hands.

Zhang Lu nodded, stood up and walked out.

However, just when he was about to step up the steps and leave the secret passage in the secret room, Zhang Xiu behind him called him out, and lowered his voice and said:

"Senior brother, there is no need to worry about the Taoist man under my command. He is just a chess piece of the poor Taoist. He is even more of an abandoned piece!"

"I wanted to kill him directly, but if I can use this guy to pull out the unstable factors in the sect, it would be a good thing. When his value is exhausted, Pindao will behead him without my senior brother's orders!

"

"I will never pose any threat to my nephew!"

Zhang Lu paused, looked back at Zhang Xiu, and sighed helplessly: "Junior brother, you should know that this is not what you are worried about."

"That's all. You have been smarter than Ping Tao since you were a child. You should also understand the principles more thoroughly than Ping Tao. Just do what you want and don't let the sharp blade in your hand bite back and hurt yourself instead."

After saying that, Zhang Lu didn't hesitate and walked out immediately.

…

In Xicheng County, at dusk in the evening, the Five Pecks of Rice Taoist leader appeared outside the city gate.

Standing alone, on both sides of him were the soldiers arranged by Xiao Wen.

Among these soldiers, there is a passage that can directly enter the city.

However, although this passage has been left open, there are not many people who dare to enter the city through this passage.

As for the reason?

That would be too easy!

Nothing but because the aura erupting from these soldiers is too fierce!

Once the bloody evil energy that has been on the battlefield for a long time breaks out, it is very difficult for anyone to resist.

Let alone anyone who dares to walk through this passage?

There were many people coming to the city gate, but none of them dared to enter the city through the city gate.
