Chapter 514 Blackmail!
"It's really not me!"
The Daoist Master Jieyun naturally knew Uncle Lu and knew Uncle Lu's identity. To be more precise, the Daoist Master Jieyun and Uncle Lu were old rivals, and Uncle Lu was the one who was always beaten.
Of course, it wasn't easy for Uncle Lu to completely eliminate the Lord of Disaster. At least if the Lord of Disaster wanted to escape, he could actually do so.
"If it's not you, then it's one of your men!"
Uncle Lu didn't bother to discuss the truth with the Master of the Robbery Dao. He only knew that the people of the Robbery Dao had tried to kidnap Fu Bao. Whether or not the Master of the Robbery Dao was the mastermind behind this was unimportant.
Not being able to control your subordinates is a sin!
"So what do you want?"
The Taoist Master Jieyun knew that he couldn't escape the beating, so he simply stopped trying to reason with Uncle Lu and just beat him when he deserved it and compensated him when he deserved it.
However, things may change over time, so don’t look down on the young and poor.
"Pay me money!"
Uncle Lu also knew that the difference in strength between him and the Lord of Disaster was not that great. Even if he beat the Lord of Disaster up, he would recover after a while. In that case, it would be better to be direct and let the old man suffer for a while.
Uncle Lu didn't care much about the fact that Jieyundao wanted to rebel.
Although his family had the responsibility to protect the dragon vein, as long as no one destroyed the so-called dragon vein of Emperor Taizu, even if the royal family was wiped out and the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, it would have nothing to do with him.
Even in Uncle Lu's heart, he wished someone could destroy the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, so that his family would be free.
"How many?"
The Taoist Master of Disaster didn't expect that he wouldn't be beaten this time. He looked happy when he was asking questions.
"What do you think?"
Uncle Lu had a cold face.
In truth, he had no idea how much he could get from the Master of Disaster. However, he knew that whoever bid first would be at a disadvantage.
"In this matter, it is because I failed to discipline my subordinates properly. Ten thousand taels!"
Lord Jieyun felt that the price he offered was already very generous.
However, Uncle Lu didn't even think twice and directly retorted, "You're sending away beggars!"
"My little disciple is worth tens of millions of taels. Ten thousand taels, is this your sincerity?"
“……?!”
Jie Yundao's eyes widened, thinking, "Your little disciple is so rich, and he still wants compensation." But it was obvious that he could only think about this in his heart and would never dare to say it out loud.
After all, he was planning something big.
If Uncle Lu were to embarrass him at this juncture, it would be a blow to his image.
"So how much do you say?"
"One hundred thousand taels!"
Uncle Lu asked for a huge amount of money.
Anyway, this matter is just about asking for a sky-high price and waiting for the other party to pay back.
However, Uncle Lu underestimated the psychological trauma he had caused to the Lord of Disaster over the years.
"Okay, one hundred thousand taels is one hundred thousand taels!"
Based on the principle that less trouble is worse than more, Lord Jieyun agreed to Uncle Lu's price.
The Jieyun Dao had amassed astronomical wealth over the years of its silence. Even the Zhao family in the capital, whose wealth rivaled that of a nation, was far behind the Jieyun Dao's accumulated wealth.
Once upon a time, Jieyundao had thought about establishing a country, but he just couldn't feel the time.
But last year, when the Northern Barbarians invaded from the south, the Jieyun Dao felt that it was time for them to establish a human kingdom. However, despite the entire Northern Barbarian clan attacking, they suffered an unprecedented defeat at Huangfengkou, with even the Northern Barbarian King being captured alive.
Although the Northern Barbarians were defeated and the Jieyun Dao's plan to establish a country was terminated, the Battle of Huangfengkou gave the Jieyun Dao leader hope of establishing a country.
Wars are fought for money and food.
At Huangfengkou, a thousand eight-ox crossbows were deployed to defend the city, and the northern barbarians were stopped at Huangfengkou.
Jieyundao has no shortage of money, let alone one thousand Eight Ox Crossbows, even two thousand or three thousand are not a problem.
After understanding this, Lord Jieyun became more determined to establish a country and began to plan slowly in secret.
Bribing officials, purchasing rice and grain, secretly recruiting soldiers...
Everything went on in an orderly manner.
As for whether such a large-scale rebellion would be discovered by the imperial court, the Jieyun Dao Master didn't care at all. As long as their hidden chess pieces were not pulled out, then there would be no problems in establishing the country.
"Not bad, quite rich!"
Uncle Lu hadn't expected the Daoist Master to agree to his offer so readily, and instinctively felt that his offer was too low. But as a man, he would never go back on his word.
"snort!"
Having been extorted a hundred thousand taels of silver by Uncle Lu for nothing, the Master of Robbery was definitely not in a good mood. If he hadn't been unable to win, he would have turned against him long ago.
"This is too much! This is too much!"
When Uncle Lu left with the banknotes, the Taoist Master Jieyun was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he really couldn't win.
However, as the leader of the Jieyun Dao who was about to establish a country, he finally used the method of spiritual victory to calm himself down.
After all, there is a long way to go. When Jieyun Dao is established, he will become the ruler of Dao Kingdom. By then, he will have a large army under his command. I don't believe that he can still be blackmailed by this bastard.
…
Uncle Lu got the silver and left. He did not return to Anshun County immediately, but wandered around the southwest.
It's no secret that the Jieyun Dao is planning to establish a human kingdom in the southwest. This can be inferred from the fact that the Jieyun Dao's disciples are generous and kind in the southwest, winning the hearts of the people.
“Crazy!”
“It’s all crazy!”
Uncle Lu traveled around the southwest and saw that many people admired the Jieyun Dao. He knew that the establishment of the Jieyun Dao was a foregone conclusion.
He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world.
Perhaps in other places, the Tang Dynasty and the royal family still have the support of the people, but in the southwest, no one knows what the Lord of Disaster has done, but everyone actually believes in the Tao.
Uncle Lu once saw a scholar defending the imperial court, and was beaten up by the people around him.
Fanaticism, brainless!
This is the current mentality of the people in the southwest.
The Jieyundao's recruitment of soldiers was carried out cautiously and secretly at the beginning, but now everything is laid out in the open. Even the garrison troops in some counties have completely become members of the Jieyundao.
Uncle Lu realized that the disaster that had led to the founding of a country was difficult to reverse, so he simply left.
When Jieyun Dao establishes a country, war is bound to break out. This war is not just a war against Jieyun Dao. The northern barbarians and even some small countries around it will probably want to get a piece of the pie.
Uncle Lu has no intention of saving the world. As long as the people he cares about are safe, then anyone can rule the world.
Of course, there is a premise.
That is, only the Tang people can rule the world, not the northern barbarians or other small countries.
After all, those who are not of our race must have different hearts.
