The officers tied up the surrendered White Lotus cultists with long ropes, strung them into a formation of a long snake, and escorted them into the prison starting from the head of the snake. They also had to clean up the corpses on the street, and all the hustle and bustle made Magistrate Li extremely tired.

After everything was done, everyone returned to the Yamen to prepare for the celebration. Li Qing followed Lao Meng and fought in and out. He felt very tired and went to rest himself.

Gu Zhensheng came back at this time. Gu Baotou went to the escort agency run by a Shaolin disciple in the city. The business office notified the abbot of the order. When he heard that something had happened to the government office, he rushed back and it was already a step too late.

Fortunately, Mr. Li was in a good mood and did not find fault with him. He held a banquet to celebrate with everyone.

Gu Zhensheng had not made any achievements and was really embarrassed during the dinner, so he excused himself as not good at drinking and took leave. The remaining officials and Lord Tongpan, who came back, drank happily with Lao Meng and Lord Li!

In the middle of drinking, a family member in the palace reported that the king of Yiwang requested to see Xi.

Magistrate Li was suspicious of his purpose, but asked someone to let Wang Fo'er in.

Wang Fo'er entered the door, exchanged a few words with Mr. Li, then smiled at Meng Yishan and said, "This time I am here to congratulate Brother Meng on the orders of the prince!"

"Does the prince also know about me, Lao Meng?"

Wang Jiaoxi said: "My lord, I heard that you used a small amount to defeat a large number and killed thousands of thieves in one fell swoop. You are so heroic! You asked me to give this thing to my brother." He took a handful of green shark skin from his back and swallowed the brass.

The long knife in his mouth was handed to Meng Yishan's hand.

This knife was extremely heavy, and the mouth was engraved with the head of a beast. Lao Meng took out the knife from its sheath. The blade was covered with patterns like dragon scales, and the thick back and wide blade glowed with a cold light.

Even literati like Magistrate Li praised it, "What a knife!"

Wang Fo'er said: "This sword is called Pojun. It is three feet nine inches long and weighs thirty-six kilograms. It is suitable for a hero like Brother Meng!"

Meng Yishan was overjoyed when he saw that he was hunting. He put the sword back into its sheath and laughed loudly: "Then I will accept it. Brother Wang will go back and tell the prince that I, Old Meng, accept his love!"

"Okay! When I have time the other day, I will introduce my brother to the prince!"

Wang Fo'er sat down and started drinking with Meng Yishan. When the two drank until their glasses were dry, they punched each other with orders. Meng Yishan got the sword and was very proud in front of everyone. He told Wang Fo'er how he used the army today and how he had a plan. It was like Zhuge Liang and Xiao Kong Ming.

Lao Meng looked drunk, but he was clear-sighted and said, "This King Yi rewards me so heavily, I'm afraid that Queen Qiu will collect the debt, so don't risk my life to sell it to him!"

After drinking the wine until the moon was high, Wang Foer stood up and left, and Meng Yishan sent him out the door.

When he came back, he saw Magistrate Li standing in the hall waiting for him. Meng Baotou asked: "Is there something wrong, sir?"

Li Chongyi pondered for a moment and then said: "Yishan, this King of Yi has given you a sword to appreciate your ability. Do you have any plans?"

Meng Yishan looked at Li Chongyi and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, sir, you can use the sword for free to play with! I will be my catcher and he will be his prince. That's what I plan to do!"

Magistrate Li stared at Meng Yishan with a serious face and let out a long sigh: "You are courageous and knowledgeable. In this troubled world, you will have a day of prosperity! If you can keep your mind on the word loyalty, you will not be in vain."

and Li’s expectations for you!”

Li Chongyi's words contained an implicit warning. Meng Yishan vaguely noticed that the prefect was not satisfied with King Yi. What was the reason?

He, Lao Meng, had never worried about the future. He had been fighting for a long time, and now his whole body was sore. He picked up the Pojun sword and wandered back to the Shangshu Mansion to sleep.

Early on the next morning, Magistrate Li opened the government office to look into the matter, detained several leaders of the White Lotus cultists, and inquired about the location of the religious altar. He also interrogated the prison robber and found out who was the instigator of the attack on the government office. The result of the inquiry was

But Li Chongyi was shocked.

The captured White Lotus believer testified that the Dharma Altar in Luoyang received the decree of the Fifth Patriarch, so they burned incense and gathered a crowd to besiege the government office.

It turns out that the name of the Fifth White Lotus Ancestor is Zhao Yushan, also known as Xuantian Holy Cult Leader. He claims to be the last descendant of the Song Dynasty and controls hundreds of thousands of White Lotus followers. He has four heavenly kings and three marshals under his command. They are all masters of martial arts. Over the past twenty years, he has been suppressed repeatedly by the imperial court.

A serious concern.

Since it was this person's order, the whole province of Henan was afraid of losing its peace. Li Chongyi sighed. He wrote an urgent document about the matter and ordered someone to be sent to the capital.

Magistrate Li then sent two arresters, Lao Meng and Xiao Gu, to order all the arresters and seal up all the mandalas where the White Lotus Sect gathered in the city.

There are also several wealthy families, even officials, who have been found to have burned incense and joined the White Lotus Sect, but they are not allowed to do anything about it for the time being.

In the following month, officials from all over Henan wrote letters to complain about the White Lotus Sect's rebellion and frequent civil unrest. They requested the imperial court to send troops to suppress it. The White Lotus Sect in Luoyang was wiped out by Lao Meng even though it was openly forceful. On the contrary, it was completely wiped out.

Meng Yishan got the sword that broke the army and practiced martial arts, sword and body skills with Yun Ao all day long.

Practicing martial arts requires a quiet place, but you can't do it in the house. This is a disaster for Mr. He. Lao Meng pulled out all the peonies and plants in the back garden and built a martial arts training ground.

That is to strengthen the muscles and bones, and practice martial arts with swords.

He Shangshu was so distressed that he looked for life and death, biting the quilt behind his back in the house and yelling: "You are not the son of a human being!"

Following Yun Ao to learn martial arts, he also had to find opponents to learn his moves. Meng had a ready-made deputy, Gu Zhensheng, who would rub him with him. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would call Xiao Gu and break down with him his fist, foot, and grappling techniques.

Although Gu Baotou had a hard time, Meng Yishan benefited from it and learned some authentic Shaolin boxing skills.

Over the past few decades, Meng Da's head-catching skills have greatly improved. It is not comparable to the past, but Gu Zhensheng is getting more and more shocked. Meng Yishan's tricks are almost updated every day, and they emerge one after another. After practicing, he can compete with Gu Zhensheng.
