Chapter 261 Li Ying persuades Shi Wengong to surrender

Drive away thunder and lightning, pray for rain and clear weather, cure evil spirits and subdue demons, ward off locusts, and refine ghosts.

Among the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods, there is also a magical power called "Mastering the Five Thunders".

Cao Jie learned it from Song Jiang, and spent time and energy to practice it. But compared with Ruyunlong's majestic thunder method, his thunder method could only trigger a little spark.

It can only add some fun to the bed. Especially Xiao Jinlian, she is particularly obsessed with the stimulation of the little electric flower and can't stop.

Like Gongsun Sheng's real thunder magic, which controls the might of heaven to descend on the earth and cleanses the demons in the world, how can one achieve anything without decades of consistent practice?

Inheritance, talent and hard work are all indispensable.

This kind of power to kill everyone and conquer the world is something that cannot be envied. Cao Jie knows that he can have his current strength because of the blessing of the golden finger.

The most important thing now is to gain experience through rebellion. It is not the time to pursue immortality.

Once you have achieved success and mastered all kinds of passive talents to the maximum level, it will not be too late to seek eternal life, freedom, and invincibility in the world.

Besides, there is no need to go into battle and kill the enemies yourself, just play a supporting role.

After coming out of Zengtou City, Cao Jie regained his composure and led everyone to Li Ying.

The reason why Shi Wengong could be transferred tonight was because of Li Ying's reputation in Shandong.

The name of "Putian Diao" Li Ying was well-known in Dongping Prefecture. Of course, Shi Wengong was invited by him to drink in Lingzhou City because of his status as a large landlord.

During the Song Dynasty, there was a tradition of inviting experts to serve as coaches.

Shi Jin invited Wang Jin to be the coach, Zhujiazhuang invited Luan Tingyu to be the coach, and there were many spear and stick coaches in Chai Jin's manor.

Although Shi Wengong was hired as a coach in Zengtou City, who knows when he will be unemployed. Becoming friends with Li Ying is also a plan for the future.

But who would have known that after the wine was drunk and the woman was having sex, the hospitable Mr. Li Ying would knock on his door again.

The moonlight was covered by a dark cloud. In the darkness, "Ghost Face" Du Xing was floating in the sky like a ghost.

He has now become one of the five ghosts under Cao Jie. Even if Shi Wengong turns against him and joins forces with Li Ying, he is still capable of fighting.

"Mr. Li, what does this mean?"

Shi Wengong was nine feet tall, with a pale complexion, three wisps of beard, broad shoulders and a round waist. He was about thirty-eight or thirty-nine years old.

At his age, his strength has almost reached its limit and it is difficult to make any progress. Furthermore, as he gets older, his strength will decline.

When he became the coach of Zengtou City, he actually had the attitude of retiring.

Alcohol, sex and the like are no longer prohibited.

"Brother Shi, let's be frank. I'm inviting you to the banquet today in order to transfer you away from Zengtou City."

There is no need to conceal what happened today. As long as Shi Wengong is not a fool, he will be able to analyze it thoroughly tomorrow.

When the time comes and he reports to the authorities, Li Ying will have no choice but to go up the mountain and become a bandit.

Shi Wengong frowned and asked with narrowed eyes, "Brother Li, what do you mean?"

"Brother Shi, do you know that the Song Dynasty is going to join forces with the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong to attack the Liao Kingdom?"

"How can I know what's going on in the court?"

"Then do you know that the Five Tigers of the Zeng Family are Jurchens from the Jin Kingdom?"

"I know this..."

Li Ying analyzed the situations of the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms, and concluded with reason: "To destroy the alliance with the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom is the purpose of my asking Brother Shi to leave Zengtou City. Now the Five Tigers of the Zeng Family must have been assassinated. Brother Shi is also a hero. I hope to leave a way out for the common people of the world. We must not let the court form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. The lips and teeth are interdependent!" Shi Wengong came to Zengtou City to be a coach for his retirement!
Who knew that I would be involved in such a political struggle.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If the Zeng family is destroyed, I will be wanted by the court. You have caused me so much trouble!"

Li Ying shook his head and said, "Brother Shi, the court is now occupied by the six thieves, and people of insight are being persecuted, but I believe that sooner or later, the likes of Cai Jing and Tong Guan will be liquidated. When the time comes, we will have our day to come to the fore."

His origins were so confusing that Shi Wengong began to imagine:

"I wonder where Brother Li comes from?"

"The mountain is now led by Mr. Zong Zezong, the magistrate of Dengzhou, and there are also Huang Wenbing, the magistrate of Wuwei Army, Qin Ming, the commander of Qingzhou Army, Huang Xin, the captain of Qingzhou Army, and Sun Li, the captain of Dengzhou Army. We are all knowledgeable people, but we have no way to serve our country, so we temporarily live in the mountains and wait for the court to be clear, so that we can live uprightly..."

Shi Wengong's expression immediately relaxed. He knew the name of Zong Ze. He had served as county magistrate in many counties in Shandong. He was an honest, good and capable local official.

"If you kill the Zeng family, can you undermine the court's policy?"

"We can't interfere with the court struggles. We just do what we should do. Brother Shi, you can't go back to Zengtou City. Why don't you follow me to the mountain? You may have a good family in the future, and you may even be able to give your wife and children a title."

Li Ying said rebellion, but in Shi Wengong's ears, it was the word "recruitment".

He was recruited for murder and arson, and there were people in the court.

This business can be done!

Ennobling his wife and children is a great temptation, especially for a powerful person like Shi Wengong who has the ability but is not used by the court.

Shi Wengong is already in his forties, with nothing but martial arts. Now standing at the crossroads of life, he feels a strong wind blowing from behind.

"Brother Shi, do you know the name of Shandong Xiao Mengde?"

"The King of Hell is the enemy of Cao Jie!" Shi Wengong nodded.

"Brother Cao will be the leader of the mountain. Brother Shi, going up the mountain to be a bandit is despised by the world. But my brother said that it is not a shame to have two golden seals on your face, and a man is one who can bend and stretch. Going up the mountain is just the beginning, and we all have a bright future..."

Shi Wengong was somewhat tempted, and he quickly analyzed his situation.

If the Zeng family in Zengtou City was wiped out, he would either report to the authorities and become the enemy of this group of people, or go along with them and wait to be recruited in the future.

Just as he was hesitating, a group of big men came rushing in.

The first one was "Tower-Bearing Heavenly King" Chao Gai.

Now that they had just killed someone, their bodies were full of blood and they looked extremely ferocious.

Shi Wengong's pupils shrank slightly and his hair stood on end. He could tell at a glance that this group of people were very powerful.

"This must be the sharpshooter Shi Wengong! I have heard of you for a long time. I am Chao Gai, and people in Jianghu give me the nickname of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King."

"I have long admired your great name!"

Shi Wengong clasped his fists.

"Now that the five tigers of the Zeng family have been killed by us, may I ask Brother Shi, do you want to surrender or fight?"

Shi Wengong raised his eyebrows and said, "I'd like to ask for your advice."

Li Yinggang had just tried to persuade Shi Wengong to surrender by reasoning with him, but Shi Wengong had already made up his mind. Now Chao Gai had come forward, and one played the good cop and the other the bad cop.

The two fought fiercely and the result was earth-shattering.

At this time, Cao Jie arrived late and used the Red-haired Ghost to perform the trick of splitting a dragon into two tigers, completely subduing the powerful Shi Wengong.
