Li Bai only knew the whole story because he happened to meet him, and Zhang Sanfeng was once the most powerful general after Zhang Jiao. How could the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty be hidden from him?
Zhang Sanfeng also knew and agreed with the agreement between Zhang Jiao and Qin Hao, but this did not mean that he agreed to abandon Xiang Yu.
Zhang Liang and Zhang Sheng also knew that Zhang Sanfeng would definitely not agree, so they did not say hello to Zhang Sanfeng beforehand. When Zhang Sanfeng found out, Xiang Yu had already jumped off the cliff.
Zhang Sanfeng saw everything Xiang Yu did for the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, even if the Ming Dynasty returned to Qin in the future, Xiang Yu, who had lost his ambition, would not be able to cause any obstacles, so why couldn't Xiang Yu be given a way out?
After learning everything, Zhang Sanfeng was extremely angry. The actions of his niece and his third brother made him extremely disappointed, and he also lost his good impression of Qin Hao.
Finally, Zhang Sanfeng left the Ming Dynasty and came to Wudang Mountain with seven orphans of generals from the Yellow Turban period, and then founded the Wudang Sect and prepared to live in seclusion here.
After all, Zhang Sanfeng was a former general of the land. It was almost impossible to completely cut off the world of mortals, but both Zhang Sheng and Zhang Ning knew his whereabouts.
Later, Zhang Ning immediately told Zhang Sanfeng that Xiang Yu had been rescued by Qin Hao. Zhang Sanfeng forgave Zhang Sheng and Zhang Liang a little, and even praised Qin Hao.
Zhang Sanfeng only felt that his eldest brother had a very accurate eye for judging people, and he would never entrust Qin Hao with the Ming Dynasty, because in his opinion, only such a broad-minded person could get help from Dao Duoduo and finally bring peace to the troubled times.
After shaking his head to eliminate the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhang Sanfeng slowly opened Zhang Sheng's letter, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
"Six major factions besieging Guangmingding?"
A gleam flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, and he said to himself in a deep voice: "The Taoists have taken action after all."
"Girl Sheng'er really has no other choice, so she came to beg me shamelessly, right? It's really hard for her. But Pindao alone can't stop the Taoist family, right?"
After thinking about this, Zhang Sanfeng took a deep breath, and then sighed: "It seems that I can only shamelessly ask a few old friends."

Sizhou, Songshan.
Songshan Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with Taishi Mountain in the east and Shaoshi Mountain in the west. Each has thirty-six peaks, and the peaks are famous.
On the top of Shaoshi Mountain, there is a Buddhist sect called Shaolin Temple. At this time, an uninvited guest was welcomed, none other than Zhang Sanfeng, the leader of Wudang.
"Fellow Bodhidharma, you should also know the purpose of Pindao's trip, right?"
Bodhidharma nodded slightly, kneeled on one knee and said, "Fellow Taoist Sanfeng, please wait a moment."
Immediately, Bodhidharma shouted: "Xuanci."
Monk Xuanci walked in quickly and saluted respectfully: "Master."
Bodhidharma nodded and said: "From now on, you will be the abbot of Shaolin Temple."
"What?"
Xuanci's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Master, how is this possible?"
"As a master, I want to do something that is beneficial to my Buddhist family, but this matter may endanger the safety of Shaolin, so I must relieve myself of the burden of the abbot."
"Master." Xuanci's eyes were full of reluctance.
Bodhidharma touched Xuanci's bald head and said with a smile: "Children, I just entrusted Shaolin to you in advance. Doesn't it mean that I won't come back? I have thought about it and will move to the Sutra Pavilion when I come back.
Go and live and be with my Buddha’s holy Dharma every day.”
Xuanci knew that his own strength was not enough to protect Shaolin, and he felt relieved after learning that his master would not leave.
"Master, leave early and come back early."
"Yes." Bodhidharma nodded, and then ordered: "During my absence, if there are enemies beyond your ability to attack, you can go to Master Pujing of Baima Temple for help. Do not
Show off, you know?"
"Disciple, you must remember this." Xuanci kowtowed.
Seeing this, Bodhidharma no longer had any worries, and walked out of the Main Hall with Zhang Sanfeng side by side.

In Nanyang, in a wasteland outside Wancheng, Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng faced each other with swords. There were sword marks left by their battles everywhere.
"The last one determines the outcome." Xie Xiaofeng said coldly.
"I can't ask for it." Yan Shisan said calmly.
Xie Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed, he raised the long sword in his hand, and yelled: "Seize the sword style by stealing the sky and changing the day."
"The Thirteenth Deadly Sword."
"Kill." The two men shouted, and then rushed towards each other at the same time.
Boom... After the shocking collision sound, Yan Shisan was seen flying backwards.
After Yan Shisan coughed up a large mouthful of blood, he looked at Xie Xiaofeng and said in disbelief: "You actually broke through the Grandmaster?"
Xie Xiaofeng returned the sword to its sheath, stepped forward slowly, pulled up his old enemy, and said with a faint smile: "Not yet, just a half-step master."
"How could it be so fast?"
Yan Shisan murmured to himself that the opponent's cultivation level was obviously slightly inferior to his last time they fought, but this time he was thrown off a level. Yan Shisan really couldn't believe it. At the same time, he also wanted to know what Xie Xiaofeng had gone through.
Xie Xiaofeng saw Yan Shisan's doubts at a glance, and said with a smile: "If you fight against several swordsmen who are better than you every day, you will be able to break through quickly."
Yan Shisan was even more shocked. He widened his eyes and said, "Qin Hao actually has several swordsmen under his command who are better than you in swordsmanship?"
Xie Xiaofeng sighed and smiled bitterly: "There are more masters in the world than you and I imagined. We are all frogs in the well."
Among the five most pure swordsmen under Qin Hao, Xie Xiaofeng is currently the weakest. How can the arrogant 'Third Young Master' endure this?
Gai Nie Weizhuang was both a master. After Xie Xiaofeng challenged him several times, he found that the difference in strength was too big, so he had to challenge Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, who were only one level above him and were still half-step masters.
After being abused an unknown number of times, Xie Xiaofeng finally broke through, but Ximen Chuixue, who also challenged Gai Nieweizhuang crazily, also broke through after being abused an unknown amount of times.
Although Ye Gucheng has not yet broken through to the Grandmaster level, he is on the verge of breaking through and may enter the Grandmaster realm at any time, while Xie Xiaofeng is still the weakest in the end.
Even if being abused can speed up his cultivation, Xie Xiaofeng does not want to continue to be abused like this. If he continues, Xie Xiaofeng is afraid that he will lose his energy.
It happened that the lord Qin Hao ordered his swordsmen to win over some close friends in the world. Ximen Chuixue went to find Lu Xiaofeng, and Xie Xiaofeng thought of his old enemy.
After briefly describing the strength of the Bai family to Yan Shisan, Xie Xiaofeng stretched out his right hand and invited him: "What do you think, do you want to consider following the Marquis of Qin with me?"
Yan Shisan was still in shock and murmured: "It turns out that besides Xiang Yu, there is more than one great master in the world. I am indeed too weak now."
Looking at Xie Xiaofeng who extended his hand to him, Yan Shisan took his hand directly without thinking, and said in a deep voice: "I'll join."
