Chapter 32: Biography of Wu Zhuanzong

dy blackened and charred, his skin peeled back, his face ashen white, his breath ragged and weak. He looked severely injured at first glance, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, staring intently..."Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

The water monkey led the boy over, and the boy was about to kneel down and kowtow when the water monkey pulled him back.

Qin Sang looked around and gestured for Zheng Kun to pay close attention. They took the group of children into the nearby woods.

Qin Sang looked the boy up and down. "What's your name How old are you"

“My name is Xiaoliuzi, I am fifteen years old. I have no parents and no given name.”

"Have you read this book"

When I was hungry, a teacher took me in at his school and let me stay overnight. I listened to him teach for three years. After the teacher died, I was driven out.

"Are you all from the north"

"Well, there's a drought in the north, everyone is running south. Their parents died on the road, and I'm taking them to beg for food."

"Why would you want to bring so much baggage when you still need to eat" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

“When my teacher took me in, he said that saving a life accumulates one layer of merit and allows you to be reborn into a good womb in your next life.”

Qin Sang nodded, glanced outside the woods, and said, "Those people have left, you should leave too. Don't go north, lest you run into them again."

"Please take us in, sir!"

Little Liu knelt down with a thud, and the other children all followed suit, kneeling before him. They begged him in unison.

Qin Sang shook her head. "I can't even feed myself, how could I take you in"

Little Liu knelt on the ground, refusing to get up. "We can do anything, my sister can wash clothes and cook, we can do hard labor. Sir, just give us a mouthful of food, and we'll listen to you for everything!"

Qin Sang chuckled, "You're asking me to kill for you"

Xiao Liuzi hesitated for a moment, "I can kill! My younger siblings lost their parents and were almost boiled and eaten. If others can kill, I can too."

"How can one accumulate blessings by committing murder"

"Then save a few more, the more you save than you kill, the more blessings you accumulate."

Qin Sang and Shui Houzi looked at each other.

The water sprite pulled Qin Sang aside, “Lord Head, are you really going to take them in”

Qin Sang pondered for a moment, "It's also time to start building a killer squad..."

Regardless of whether Shui Houzi understood or not, Qin Sang walked back and said to Xiao Liuzi: "You can follow me, but you have to recognize a dead man as your father. His name is Wu Yuba, his grave is in Zhen Shui County, and I'll take you there later. You will be called Wu Zhuanzong, and you have to burn paper for him every year and keep the Wu family incense burning. Are you willing"

"I'm willing!"

Little Liuzi was overjoyed, "From now on I'll be called Wu Chuanzong. My father is Wu Yuba, and I have a name!"

Several other children also jumped happily.

Qin Sang nodded slightly. He didn't care what Lao Wu's original name was. Since he had promised to find a son for Lao Wu, he would let him be surnamed Wu. That wouldn't be breaking his promise.

“Zhang Wenkui, take these children to a safe place to rest and settle down. Immediately inform General Mu of my decision.”

"Yes!"

Zhang Wenkui had just left with his men when Zheng Kun ran in, "Master, Liu Ji has gone out of the city!"

The Liu family was a prominent clan in the region, owning land outside the county town. After confirming each other's identities, Qin Sang and his companions washed themselves clean outside the city and changed into the attire of commoners, disguising themselves as servants of the Liu family to sneak into the town. It was almost nightfall.

Liu Ji personally purchased a piece of property and engaged in the buying and selling business, keeping it under wraps.

Everyone quietly came to the backyard. After making sure no one was following, Liu Ji closed both doors tightly and reported the situation in the city to Qin Sang.

“Reporting to Lord Qin, I have investigated and found that there are three people in charge of Ning County currently. The magistrate is named Li Ji, only twenty-one years old, quite capable. In less than two years since taking office, he has won the hearts of the people and is called 'Li Qingtian' by the county folks. However, this man is a confidante of the Jiangzhou Prefect. It is expected that he will be transferred to a state or county after three years in office, with a bright future ahead. I am afraid it will be difficult to recruit him.Due to Ning County being a small county with only one chief clerk, this person surnamed Ma is cunning and worldly, doing everything according to Li Ji's orders. He does not need to be paid much attention. There is also a man named Chu Daguang. Although he is not an official, he currently leads the county clerks and militia. To break through the city, it is necessary to capture this person, so caution must be exercised…”

Qin Sangqi said, "This Chu Dazhuang isn't an official How can he command respect"

Liu Jidao said: “There are two reasons for this. Firstly, this person has a sister who is beautiful and married to Li Ji as a concubine. Secondly, this person is a disciple of Xuance Temple, worshiping the head of Luohan Hall in Xuance Temple as his master, and he has fully learned the true teachings. He is very skilled in martial arts and is known as the 'Rough Monk' in the Jianghu. After his sister married Li Ji, the Rough Monk changed his name, brought several fellow disciples to Hening County, and the Inspector General did not take him seriously. This time, when the military supplies of Hening County were transferred and the Inspector left, no one could control him anymore.”

It's him!

Qin Sang secretly thought that it was no wonder Liu Ji had a heavy face.

Since joining the Xueyi Tower, Qin Sang knew all about the martial world. Every renowned and influential figure in the Jianghu was registered with the Xueyi Tower, and each name on the list belonged to a top-tier expert.

His 'master', Yang Zhen, was considered a martial arts expert in the eyes of ordinary people, but he wasn't ranked among the top masters.

This brawny monk was different. He wasn't just on the list, but at the very top. His martial arts skills were probably no less than Bai Jianglan's.

However, what people feared most was not the martial arts of Monk Máng, but his monastery, Xuánjí Temple.

In the Jianghu of the Sui Dynasty, there were two places renowned far and wide: Yanran Mountain Villa and Xuanji Temple. They were known as the two holy lands of martial arts, with countless masters.

Yān'ěrnshan Villa is located in Yānrén Mountain, Imperial Capital. The gate of Xuánjì Temple is in Jiāngzhōu.

It is said that both sects have congenital masters sitting in charge, their status is transcendent, even the government has to give them three points of respect.

Qin Sang knew more about the inside story. Xuánjí Temple and Yān Lán Mountain Villa were not just simple martial arts sects. Many of the imperial masters in the fake emperor's court came from these two sacred places.

Now, beside the generals guarding Douling County, there are quite a few skilled practitioners from Xuance Temple protecting them closely.

The monk Mang came from the Luohan Hall of Xiandai Temple. With just these men he had at the Xueyi Building in He Ning County, it would be difficult for him to defeat

.

Since King Dongyang raised his banner in rebellion, the reason he was able to achieve such success, conquering Yingnan County in less than a year, was primarily because King Dongyang was the emperor's own brother, sharing the same bloodline as their deceased father. Being a member of the imperial family, not a foreign invader, the defending officials saw the tide turning and surrendered without much hesitation.

But the magistrate of Jiangzhou was different. When King Dongyang was still the crown prince, he had been a lackey to the current emperor's side and made meritorious service during the struggle for succession, so it was impossible for him to surrender.

Li Ji was the magistrate's confidante, and there was no need to discuss the matter of recruiting him any further.

Since forceful seizure wouldn't work, and surrendering was out of the question, Qin Sang asked Liu Ji what his plan was.

"I have two plans. One is to kidnap County Magistrate Li Ji and threaten Chu Dayang to open the city gate. The other is to poison Chu Dayang. As long as he dies, we will win. However…"

Liu Ji cast a furtive glance at Qin Sang, "Both of these plans require the right timing to ensure success. My subordinate learned today that Li Ji intends to host a banquet for the elders of Ning County the night after tomorrow, discussing matters such as managing peasant uprisings and ensuring peace in the region. At that time, my subordinate can lead people into the gathering, taking advantage of the chaos..."with Feng Shangshi.Thinking of these things, Qin Sang's speed didn't slow down at all.>He sensed the current location of the Yuanying Fu Kui. During this time that he and Bi Fang were fighting, the Yu...
