The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 97 Big Harvest

Wei Hanchen took a deep breath: "I, I..."

Zhao Ti said calmly, "I am anxious and cannot wait for you for long. I will only give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. You have to think carefully. Do you want to bring honor to your family, live in luxury, have many descendants, and burn three incense sticks every day a hundred years later, and have your descendants kowtow three times? Or do you want to become a dry bone on the roadside, eaten by wild dogs, and have your soul scatter and your bloodline cut off?"

"I, Ming Zun will bless us to enter the Great Light Kingdom after death..." Wei Hanshen took a breath.

Zhao Ti sneered and interrupted him: "Who doesn't cultivate themselves to be rich and noble before death? Who would wait to become a Buddha after death? Don't lie to yourself. Who in your Ming Cult has come back from the underworld to tell you that death is better than life?"

Wei Hanchen pursed his lips, his expression changing.

Zhao Ti said, "I will only give you a quarter of an hour. If you do not surrender, I will not let you suffer. I will just chop you up and throw you outside the city to be eaten by wild dogs."

Wei Hanchen remained silent. Zhao Ti glanced at him and closed his eyes to rest.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Ti stood up and said calmly, "Kill him, and ask the living abbot of Shouning Temple. There will always be smart people who are willing to enjoy wealth and glory."

He walked out after he finished speaking. As soon as he walked out of the prison door, he heard Wei Han muttering from behind: "Wait, wait a minute..."

Zhao Ti stopped and turned around and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Wei Hanchen's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if it was extremely difficult: "I, I am willing to surrender to King Yan..."

Zhao Ti nodded and sat back on the chair: "Wei Hanchen, let me ask you, what is your status in the Ming Cult?"

As soon as Wei Hanchen said the word "surrender", he felt the world become wider in his heart, and immediately replied: "The criminal is one of the four great Dharma Kings, the White-robed Bat King."

"Who are the other three?"

"Mountain-Moving Ape King, Flying Leopard King, Purple Sea Dragon King..."

"What is the origin of the Purple Sea Dragon King?"

"The Purple Sea Dragon King was an envoy sent by the Persian Grand Master to the Ming Cult in the Central Plains 20 years ago. In fact, she was there to monitor the Ming Cult in the Central Plains. The Master did not let her know about some important matters within the Cult."

Zhao Ti thought after hearing this: "She is Persian?"

Wei Hanchen said: "The Persian Grand Master sends an envoy to the Central Plains every few decades to serve as the Dharma King. This has been going on since the time of the Former Tang Dynasty, and they are all named after the Dragon King."

Zhao Ti asked, "How many levels has she reached in practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra?"

Wei Hanchen was stunned for a moment: "I have never asked, but according to the Mountain-Moving Ape King who is on good terms with her, he has already practiced to the ninth level..."

"Is the ninth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra so powerful?" Zhao Ti raised his eyebrows. "I heard you two talking about his father. Who is his father? The leader of the Persian Church?"

Wei Hanchen said: "That's not the case. His father is the junior brother of the Persian Grand Master, nicknamed the Old Man in the Mountain."

The old man in the mountain, Huo Shan? The one who created the Holy Fire Token martial arts? Zhao Ti nodded: "What is Huo Linglong trying to stop the Ming Cult in the Central Plains?"

Wei Hanchen lowered his head. "The leader said that the uprising would start this year. Huo Linglong said that she would consult the Persian headmaster and said that Mingzun was in meditation and could not move without permission. Later, when she left Guangmingding, the leader asked me to chase her and persuade her. I didn't expect that she would fight me directly."

Rebellion? Zhao Ti's eyes turned cold: "Where is the Hangzhou branch?"

Wei Hanchen hesitated and said, "Because we are afraid of being discovered, we don't have a fixed location for each session. Sometimes we hold it outside the city, sometimes inside the city..."

Zhao Ti asked, "What is the bottom of West Lake?"

Wei Hanchen immediately broke into a sweat: "That is not the place where the altar is held. Every time the Right Envoy comes, he stays there. It is just a separate courtyard."

Zhao Ti bowed slightly and looked at Wei Hanchen: "Is there any information about the branches of the Ming Cult in various places?"

Wei Hanchen said hurriedly: "Indeed, there is, but although the criminals know this place, they can't find the entrance. Only the Right Envoy knows where to enter. The Right Envoy will arrive in three days, and he needs to make preparations before the uprising..."

"Three days?" Zhao Ti nodded. He thought for a moment and asked some questions about the internal affairs of the Ming Cult. Wei Hanchen answered them one by one, then stood up and went back to rest.

The next day, Zhao Ti took Wei Hanchen from prison to the lobby of the provincial government, planning to capture the right emissary of the Ming Cult.

According to Wei Hanchen, the Ming Cult's Right Emissary was much stronger in martial arts than him, and he had a unique skill called Tiger Roar, which could attack people with sound waves, similar to a lion's roar.

Wei Han said solemnly that this person had a deep faith in Ming Zun and would most likely not surrender even if he was captured. He suggested that he should first trick the other party into believing him and then capture him later.

Zhao Ti said: "Since the place is secret and has never been exposed for many years, how can you make him believe it?"

Wei Hanchen said, "Just say that Huo Linglong discovered the area below the West Lake and went to destroy it. The Right Envoy will be anxious and rush to check it out. I will also use the matter of Huang Fei Pagoda and Shouning Zen Temple as evidence, and he will definitely believe it."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

Wei Hanchen said, "Your Highness, Huo Linglong is a very skilled martial artist. The Right Emissary will definitely look for help. He might even ask me to go with him before the criminal opens his mouth."

Zhao Ti looked at him with a half-smile: "I didn't expect you to have some wisdom. I'm afraid that the sixth-rank official position will not limit you in the future, and there is still room for promotion."

Wei Hanchen was overjoyed when he heard this. At this moment, he didn't care about the Ming Cult or the Ming Cult. The imperial court was the orthodox one, and the others were all bandits.

He bowed down hastily and said, "I am willing to sacrifice my life for Your Highness, even if it means death!"

Zhao Ti said, "Go down and think it over carefully. There must be no mistakes. Go back now."

Seeing Wei Hanchen leave, he began to deploy his men. Every time the Ming Cult's Right Envoy Tan Tai Chu Yun came to Hangzhou, he would have a meal at Zuixianlou next to the West Lake, and then go to that villa.

Zhao Ti planned to make careful arrangements around Zuixian Tower, so that if Wei Hanchen showed any weakness, he would kill Tan Tai Chuyun on the spot.

Then he went to see Jiumozhi, who was brought here by him. It didn't really matter whether to kill or keep this monk; what was important was his identity as the Tubo national teacher.

Although the Tubo Dynasty had collapsed into several large and small tribes at the end of the Tang Dynasty and no longer posed any threat, if the Western Xia was to be destroyed, it would be best to first obtain the narrow strip of land in the Longyou area of the Huangshui River. Conflicts would inevitably occur at that time. If Jiumozhi could be subdued, it would be much easier, reduce the number of wars, and save the lives of many Western Army soldiers.

When they entered the house, Hou San and Zhu Si were guarding. They saw Jiumozhi sitting in an iron cage with huge iron shackles on his hands and feet. His martial arts skills were too high, so ordinary binding and acupoint pressing could not be effective, so he could only be imprisoned like this.

Jiumozhi closed his eyes and silently recited the scriptures. When he heard Zhao Ti coming in, he did not open his eyes, but recited the scriptures even louder.

Zhao Ti smiled and asked, "How are you, monk?"

Jiumozhi ignored him and read the scriptures quickly and urgently, until Zhao Ti said, "The monk has recited the scriptures incorrectly," then he opened his eyes and looked at him angrily.

Zhao Ti said: "Monk, do you have anything to say?"

Jiumozhi looked at Zhao Ti for a moment, his expression gradually became agitated, he lifted the iron chain and said: "You, you..."

Zhao Tiyao shook his head when he saw this: "If you have nothing to say, I will leave. When the matter in Jiangnan is settled, you and I will go back to Tokyo with me."

When Jiumozhi heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly said angrily: "I would rather die than enter the palace!"

Zhao Ti stroked his chin and said, "Who told you to enter the palace? Do monks really want to become eunuchs? It's not impossible. Let me think about it carefully."

Upon hearing this, Jiumozhi's face turned purple with shame. He took a deep breath and lowered his head to continue reciting the scriptures.

Zhao Ti left with a smile, thinking that if he could take this monk into his mansion to follow him, it would be a great help.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult came to Hangzhou. He took Tong Guan, Zhou Tong and others to a small shop next to Zuixianlou early in the morning, chose a seat outside, and observed the situation in front of Zuixianlou while drinking.

Just after noon, two people came out of Zuixian Tower. One was Wei Hanchen, and the other was dressed in black, with a square face and no beard, and a calm expression.

Zhao Ti looked at him for a few moments and was certain that this person must be the Ming Cult's Right Envoy of Light, Tan Tai Chu Yun.
