Chapter 693: Factory guard
Chapter 693 Factory Guard
Chapter 691: Factory Guard
Zhang Sheng was originally called Ren Hongchang, also known as Diao Chan. When she was adopted as a foster daughter by Zhang Jiao and appointed as the commander of the Taiping Guard, she was called Dongfang Sheng. Dongfang Sheng changed her name to Zhang Sheng before Zhang Jiao's death.
Three names, three identities, but the same person, this is Zhang Sheng.
Dongfang Sheng is a legendary name. She is both a saint of the Taiping Religion and a famous empress. Can such a figure just disappear?
So, when the identity of Zhang Sheng's daughter was first revealed, all forces attacked Zhang Sheng based on the fact that Emperor Ming was Dongfang Sheng. After all, Zhang Sheng appeared as soon as Dongfang Sheng disappeared. There were indeed too many doubts in it.
At this moment, a perfect substitute for Zhang Sheng appeared, and took over Dongfang Sheng's vacancy in a very timely manner.
The Dongfang Bubai in the world of "Swordsman", although he cannot display the combat power of a peak master like Zhang Sheng, he still has the cultivation level of an early master.
In addition, she has a 90% similar physical appearance to Zhang Sheng. Except for people like Qin Hao who have a very close relationship, most people can't tell the difference between the two.
The appearance of Zhang Sheng and Dongfang Sheng together made all forces speechless. The rumors that Zhang Sheng was Dongfang Sheng were also dispelled, and the turbulent situation in the Ming Dynasty was stabilized.
Dongfang Bubai is not an ordinary grandmaster. She is a warrior who has practiced the top-level technique "Sunflower Collection". She is basically invincible against the same level.
So after that, Dongfang Sheng also became Zhang Sheng's right-hand man, leading the Taiping Guards to handle Jianghu affairs for Zhang Sheng.
This time the six major factions besieged Guangmingding, and Yang Dingtian was on the verge of a breakthrough. The only person who could take over the overall situation in Yang Dingtian's place was Dongfang Bubai, whose pseudonym was Dongfang Sheng.
Although the six major sects are powerful this time, they are not taken seriously by Dongfang Bubai.
Dongfang Bubai, who is in charge of the Taiping Guard, has dealt with hundreds of families before, and her daily contacts are all grandmasters. She has even met the great master. When facing a sect like the six major sects, of course she will feel Weak.
Of course, this time the six major factions united, Dongfang Bubai also saw some other things.
The six major sects dispatched this time are all Taoist sects. It can be seen that this time it is not the martial arts of the Han Dynasty that is targeting the Mingjiao, but the Taoist family.
The Taoist family is the most powerful among hundreds of schools. The subordinate Tianshi Mansion even has a great master, and the Quanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect also have their own masters.
However, there is not a single strong master among the six major factions' coalition forces. What does this mean?
The Taoists did not use their full strength!
The six sects' siege of Guangmingding this time is not as simple as it seems. Dongfang Bubai secretly thought in his heart.
If the six major sects only deployed their current lineups, Dongfang Bubai alone would be enough to sweep them away, so Dongfang Bubai believed that the Taoists must have back-ups.
Dongfang Bubai sent his analysis back to the Ming Dynasty, and after Zhang Sheng received it, he also knew that he had underestimated the six major factions.
“If Taoism is leading this time, the Ming Dynasty alone will no longer be enough to protect the Ming religion.” Zhang Sheng thought to himself, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
“No matter what, Mingjiao must not allow any mistakes.”
A trace of determination flashed in Zhang Sheng's eyes, and he immediately wrote several letters and sent them out as quickly as possible.

In the Dabie Mountains, after Zhu Yuanzhang received Zhang Sheng’s letter, he immediately called in adviser Fan Zeng to discuss it.
Fan Zeng was originally under Zhang Sheng, but because Zhang Sheng was assisted by Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng's talent was never brought into play. This also allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to see an opportunity.
Zhu Yuanzhang has coveted Fan Zeng for a long time. He wrote dozens of letters to Zhang Sheng asking for Fan Zeng, but Zhang Sheng never agreed.
Later, when Fan Zeng learned about it, he took the initiative to request to be transferred to the Dabie Mountains. Zhang Sheng had no choice but to agree and send someone to send Fan Zeng there.
As soon as Fan Zeng arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang greeted him eagerly and said, "Military advisor, Your Majesty sent an order for me to send experts to support Guangmingding. Who do you think should go this time?" A flash of light flashed in Fan Zeng's eyes. Helpless, the reason why he chose Zhu Yuanzhang was because he liked Zhu Yuanzhang's ability and ambition. However, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously had his own ambitions, but he always obeyed Zhang Sheng's orders. This also made Fan Zeng a little confused about Zhu Yuanzhang. Real thoughts.
“My lord, you must not send any generals in the army.” Fan Zeng said calmly.
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had a flash of doubt in his eyes and asked, "Why?"
Fan Zengqing stroked his long beard and explained: "There must be someone behind the six major factions' siege of Guangmingding, but once the army intervenes, the situation will change."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood and said with a smile: "So that's it. The military advisor really has a sharp eye."
"My lord, you are so complimentary." Fan Zeng said humbly, and then he paused and said, "It's a matter of jianghu. It's a matter of jianghu. My lord just needs to send factory guards to support this time. His majesty must have backup forces on his side."
Chang Wei is an organization established by Zhu Yuanzhang to collect intelligence and handle Jianghu affairs.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to name it Hulong Villa, but considering that the word "Hulong" was too sensitive, he had to give up and name it Factory Guard, with his younger brother Zhu Wuli taking charge.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this. He also understood in his heart that the power in Zhang Sheng's hands was much greater than his, so he stopped worrying too much and immediately sent someone to summon Zhu Wuwu.
“Wuli, since the establishment of the factory guard, have you ever recruited some martial arts masters?” Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Wuli.
Zhu Wuwang shook his head and said: "Except for the senior secret agents, the factory guard has not recruited any other martial arts masters."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He actually knew very well that it was impossible for a master to defect to him. Three of the only four secret spies were Zhu Wuwu's adopted sons.
“Six major sects are besieging Guangmingding. Your Majesty ordered me to send experts to support them, so this time I will leave it to you to take the four spies with you.”

Wudang Mountain, in a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, Zhang Sanfeng is instructing seven teenagers of different ages to practice swordsmanship.
Suddenly, a white dove flew over. Zhang Sanfeng caught it and spread his palms flat, but the dove couldn't fly out.
“Master, is this Tai Chi?”
Song Yuanqiao asked excitedly, and the other six teenagers also came together to watch, as if they had seen a new world.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled indifferently, took out the silk from Bai Ge's leg, and said calmly: "Practice hard, and you will all be able to do it in the future."
Having said that, Zhang Sanfeng asked his seven disciples to continue practicing while he himself returned to the Taoist temple.
After the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Zhang Sanfeng lived in seclusion. Of course, the real reason why he left the Ming Dynasty was because Zhang Sheng and Zhang Liang gave up Xiang Yu.
