Xihe felt a little guilty about forgetting Wenshu Ping and letting her sweep the toilet for five years, but that was all. He told her indifferently that he could leave whenever he wanted in the future.
Wen Shuping was of course unwilling to do so. She made a big fuss and said that she was bullying others and she must tell the master.
Xihe said "Oh" and said, "Whatever." Then he entered the inner hall.
Wen Shuping rushed over angrily, but was stopped by the disciples. Even when she shouted that she was the third disciple of Master Jing'an, they remained unmoved.
Hu Shuidi frowned, "Junior Sister, haven't you seen the reality yet? Master hasn't shown up in five years. Even though Senior Sister is the acting head of the sect, who in the sect doesn't trust her?"
"If you keep making trouble, you'll have to go back to cleaning the toilet."
Wenshu Ping was stunned. Master, it’s been a long time since you came back.
She was also forced to sweep toilets for five years. No matter how she cried, smashed things, or made a fuss, no one paid any attention to her.
Wen Shuping suddenly shuddered. She absolutely didn't want to go back to live a life worse than death!
Hu Shuidi saw her expression change, and her expression couldn't help but soften. "It's wrong for you to hit your fellow sisters. Even if Master were here, he would punish you severely. But Senior Sister only asked you to clean the toilet, which is very magnanimous. You should be grateful. Don't make trouble anymore."
Wenshu Ping: Hu Shuidi, what nonsense are you talking about?
Chu Shishi was being magnanimous towards her? Bullshit! This was clearly the most vicious conspiracy!
Originally, the master didn't say who would be the next leader. All of them sisters were qualified, and she had quite a few followers.
As a result, when the punishment of cleaning the toilet came out, they all ran away!
Who would follow someone who was punished by the senior sister, unable to fight back, and could only sweep toilets for five years? I guess no one would respect her anymore.
Wen Shuping was so angry that she wanted to cry again. Chu Shishi's move of hitting the snake in its most vulnerable part was simply too cruel.
But no matter how unwilling she was, she reluctantly accepted the arrangement of the acting head and resumed her status as the third senior sister.
But everything was just as she had expected. Everyone pointed fingers at her and those who had been bullied by her came to laugh at her, but she couldn't fight back.
Wen Shuping's life fell into a slump and she was bullied, but Xihe didn't care. She had a new plan at this time.
"Recruiting young and middle-aged people?" Fang Qinglin was surprised.
Xi He nodded. "Luo Cheng in the southwest declared an uprising last May. At the end of the year, the north was plundered and killed by the Tatars. This year, people also rose up on the border. Now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil. The emperor is obsessed with immortality, officials are forming cliques for personal gain, and the people are suffering."
"Although we are from the underworld and shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the court, how can we turn a blind eye?"
"For the past five years, we've traveled all over the Ming Dynasty. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is stunning, yet while the rich feast and feast, there are people freezing to death on the streets... Who cares if they live or die?"
"Qinglin, I won't say I'm completely selfless, but at least, if it were me, I would never treat them like cattle and horses and oppress them. At least the elderly will have a place to live, the strong will have a place to work, the young will have a place to take care of, and the poor, lonely, disabled, and sick will all be taken care of."
“…”
Fang Qinglin was speechless for a long time.
Xihe was not in a hurry. In fact, she had a vague idea five years ago.
In the original plot, Lu Chong returned to the martial arts world more than ten years later and suddenly died in a fight. In order to avenge his parents, the real male protagonist Lu Qinghan inherited the Zhengyang martial arts, discovered its flaws, and then traveled all over the martial arts world, fighting with others, meeting beauties... and obtained supreme magic skills and unified the martial arts world.
However, the hero is not a power-hungry person, and he soon retires with his wife.
At the end of the story, the hero and heroine have their own children and live on a beautiful, undisturbed island.
When a guest came to visit, they drank wine and talked about the situation outside. The male protagonist just shook his head and sighed: When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer.
Xihe could have turned a blind eye, but she finally chose to intervene.
It was not difficult for her to resist the enemy and build a powerful empire.
"Junior sister..." Fang Qinglin seemed to be pondering how to start: "To overthrow a dynasty and establish a new regime, it is not possible to do it just by possessing peerless martial arts."
Xi He was surprised: "I thought you would say that it's a foolish dream for a woman like me to want to be an emperor."
Fang Qinglin was even more surprised. "How could that be? Not to mention that Nun Tai founded Piao Miao Sect as a woman, there are so many female heroes in the martial arts world. In ancient times, there were even Martial Emperors who became emperors. They are all female heroes, stronger than ordinary men."
"Junior sister, as the acting leader, you are the best martial artist in the world and have extraordinary intelligence. How can you not be the leader?"
"I'm afraid that the road to war is extremely dangerous. If I fail, I will die. What should I do if that happens..." His brows were knitted, and he was very worried.
Xihe smiled carefreely, not caring at all: "Everything depends on human effort, and the outcome is unknown. We just have to try our best. Even if we lose, it won't be in this life."
Fang Qinglin smiled helplessly: "Then do it, Junior Sister. I will always be by your side."
In fact, I still don’t quite agree with it. After all, this is too difficult.
No matter how corrupt the Ming Dynasty was, it was still the overlord of this land and had countless cards up its sleeve.
How could it be so easy for these people in the martial arts world to shake a tree with their floating power?
But he knew that once his junior sister made a decision, she would not change it.
Since that was the case, he could only support her. When she failed, his sister wouldn't be too disappointed because he was by her side.
Xihe saw what he was thinking and felt a little amused but also very touched. He was always like this. No matter what she did, he would fully support her.
Xihe leaned her head on his shoulder: "Husband, you are so kind."
Fang Qinglin held her silently in his arms without saying a word.
The matter was settled.
The next day, Xihe called Hu Shuidi and Shen Yunzhuang and handed the matter over to them.
Hu Shuidi immediately obeyed without asking any questions, but Chen Yunzhuang was curious: "Big Sister, where will you place these people after you recruit them? What will you let them do?"
Of these two people, Hu Shuidi is very skilled in martial arts, but she doesn't talk much and just does whatever she is told to do.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, Chen Yunzhuang is literate and is very good at reading account books and understanding people's hearts.
Before this, Xihe was traveling outside, and the sect's shop was handed over to her for management. She managed the account books and affairs in an orderly manner, which made people feel very relieved.
Xihe glanced at her and said, "Take her to Lingxu Valley. As for what to do, I will tell you later."
Chen Yunzhuang didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the two of them bowed together: "Yes."
In the past five years, shops with the Piaomiao logo have been built in various places. Rouge, powder and other products are of new styles. The menu of the restaurant is changed every month. It has become famous and made a lot of money.
With this money, recruiting young and middle-aged people was very smooth.
Some men who could not make ends meet and wanted to earn money for their wives, children and parents came to sign up, and the stalls were packed.
But this was not the end. People who heard the conditions of '30 taels of silver, two sets of clothes for spring, summer and winter, and meat every month' were attracted and came from thousands of miles away from one or two counties.
