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

Chapter 98 White Snake Green Snake (asking for monthly ticket!)
Zhao Ti winked at Tong Guan and Zhou Tong, then stood up and followed them.

At this time, soldiers and wanderers mixed in the crowd on the streets on both sides of Zuixian Tower and also followed quietly. After a while, the people waiting in front took over and continued to follow. In this way, they walked along the lake embankment for three or four miles.

There are people living near the West Lake, and many of them make a living from the lake. In addition to fishermen, there are also snake farmers who specialize in catching the small green snakes that are a specialty of the lake and sell them to people for fun, making a living from the lake.

The small green snake is non-venomous, also called the emerald green snake. It is not the bamboo leaf green snake. It has a docile temperament and is quite loved by some of the sons of the yamen and wealthy families in the city.

At this time, Tan Tai Chu Yun and Wei Han Chen entered a forest near the lake. There were many houses in the forest, all of which were inhabited by snake households.

Zhao Ti stopped everyone from a distance, hesitated for a moment, and signaled to Ah Zhu, who immediately followed.

As he walked into the forest, he said, "You, a servant girl, are asking the master for money again. If the master has no money, he can't support you, right? Why do you have to play with snakes when there are so many other things to play with? And you even come here to buy one..."

Ah Zhu pouted and said, "Master, you have never seen that little green snake. It is naughty and clever, and it understands human nature. I'm sure you like it. You might even take it to play with yourself instead of letting me play with it."

Zhao Ti knew that she was a clever person. She was not only good at disguising herself, but also good at pretending to be other people. When Duan Yu was taken to Qinyun Cottage by Jiumozhi, he pretended to be many people.

"Who said you haven't seen one? You have seen all kinds of snakes over the years. Before you moved into the house, you even kept two Chilian snakes."

"I don't believe what you said, young master. Look at that little green snake, I'm going to rob it..."

The two talked as they entered the woods, and saw Tan Tai Chu Yun and Wei Han Chen standing not far away, staring at this direction with sharp eyes.

Zhao Ti smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and flicked Ah Zhu's snow-white face, saying: "Sir, how can I steal? Buy a few more and let you play with them all."

Ah Zhu's cheeks flushed, and she said angrily, "Sir, you must keep your word and cannot go back on your word..."

Zhao Ti laughed loudly, then looked over and said to the two of them, "Are you two snake dealers selling small green snakes?"

Tan Tai Chu Yun said nothing with his hands behind his back. Wei Han Chen pointed to the houses nearby and said, "If this young man wants to buy some snakes, please look over there."

Zhao Ti said: "It's really troublesome. Aren't all the people living here snakes?"

Ah Zhu blinked and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble, young master."

Zhao Ti shook his head and was about to speak when he saw a fat woman in the distance going out to sell something. She looked over and shouted, "Are you here to buy the green snake?"

"Yes, yes..." Ah Zhu said hurriedly, and then the two of them walked away.

Tan Tai Chu Yun stood there for a while before walking towards a small courtyard.

At this moment, Zhao Ti arrived at the door of the snake house. He watched the two people going out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.

The fat woman was now collecting snakes, including a dozen small green snakes, including a snow-white white snake.

Ah Zhu wondered: "What kind of species is this white snake?"

The obese woman shook her head and said, "My family has been catching snakes for three generations and we have never seen one before. I'm afraid it's a strange species. Even if you don't want to keep it, you can buy it and release it into the wild."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "I'll take them all. Ah Zhu, take them out and release them. By the way... ask the others to come in and take a look."

Ah Zhu immediately understood what he meant and walked out of the forest with the snake basket.

Zhao Ti took the money and gave it to the fat woman, then went straight to the courtyard where Tan Tai Chu Yun entered.

At this time, the courtyard was extremely quiet. He listened for a while but heard no sound, so he did not act rashly. After a while, people from outside the forest came in one after another. Zhong Pu led the disguised soldiers, and Zhou Tong led the gangsters. They crouched and hid around the walls of the courtyard.

About two or three quarters of an hour later, there was a noise in the courtyard. The door outside the house opened, and Wei Hanchen said, "Huo Linglong went on a killing spree in Shouning Zen Temple. After injuring me, she swore to burn this place down. I don't know why she didn't come..."

Tan Tai Chu Yun said, "That woman is crazy, and you can't judge her by common sense. West Lake is secretive, and it's hard for her to find out where it is. I'm afraid she was angry and lied to you."

Wei Hanchen said: "What the Right Envoy said is correct, I guess so..."

Tantai Chuyun said: "This woman... huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers outside breathed a sigh of relief. At Jong Park's signal, they stood up and aimed their bows and crossbows at the courtyard.

Zhao Ti walked to the gate of the courtyard and asked with a smile, "Is the Right Emissary of the Ming Cult here?"

Tan Tai Chu Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he moved to the back of the house. At this moment, Wei Han Chen suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, knocking him down.

"Wei Hanchen, you dare to betray the Holy Church..." Although Tan Tai Chu Yun fell to the ground, he let out a long roar, which shook people's eardrums and made people dizzy. The soldiers outside the wall almost couldn't hold their weapons.

Zhao Ti frowned upon seeing this: "Just shoot him to death, no need to keep him alive!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers shot arrows and crossbows, and the martial artists also threw all kinds of hidden weapons.

Tan Tai Chu Yun jumped up, but he only jumped about ten feet high before he was hit all over by various objects. He fell to the ground with a "bang". He died with his eyes open, staring at Wei Han Chen who had already hidden under the eaves.

Wei Hanchen's face twitched: "Right Envoy, don't blame me. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. I... am now a member of the imperial court, but you are a thief!"

Zhong Pu looked at Zhao Ti in confusion and asked, "Wang Jia, why don't you capture him alive and interrogate him?"

Zhao Ti shook his head: "This man's martial arts are too high. He has a tiger roar skill that can harm people invisibly. If he is given a chance to resist... the soldiers may suffer casualties. The men from Tokyo that I brought here will not be killed if possible."

Zhong Pu bowed and said, "The king is kind and righteous, which is what Zhong Pu took for granted."

Wei Hanchen came over at this time: "Your Highness, we have discovered that there is a secret passage in the room leading to the bottom of the West Lake. There are several dark rooms inside, which contain the names of the leaders of the various branch altars, as well as the details of the big and small leaders."

Zhao Ti nodded: "General Zhong will take his men to follow, take it out and transport it to the provincial government."

Zhong Pu said yes, and immediately led his soldiers into the room with Wei Hanchen.

In the evening, Zhao Ti sat in the lobby of the provincial government office and looked at the list of names found in the dark room under the lake, and then began to write a memorial.

He would send these lists to Tokyo and ask Zhao Xu to decide whether to issue orders to all places to suppress the rebellion directly or to use some other method to bring them together. His current priority was to go to Guangmingding of Yushan Mountain.

The next morning, Zhao Ti gathered his troops and headed straight for Shezhou on the eastern route of Jiangnan.

Yu Mountain is located in Shezhou, and was later called Nanshan. It belongs to the Tianmu Mountain Range, and Guangmingding is located on Yu Mountain.

When he arrived in Shezhou, he summoned all the officials to discuss matters, then divided the soldiers into several groups and sent them secretly to the vicinity of Yushan.

A few days later, Zhao Ti led Tong Guan, Zhou Tong, Wang Chengzong and Azhu to Yushan.

At this time, there were many soldiers and gangsters lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. He calculated that there were still two days until the 18th of this month, so he called Ah Zhu over, looked at Tong Guan and the others, and said thoughtfully: "Disguise them..."
