Chapter 48: I Don't Be a Puppet
Zong Zhengke bent his knees at the back of the general trend, respecting her senior brother, who was also Ying Fusu, who was about to ascend the throne and become the son of Great Qin.
From the emperor's point of view, Ying Fusu is undoubtedly the most dazzling Ziwei Emperor Star of this era. In his previous life, if Dazhao didn't have Xiao Fengheng and Dasheng didn't have Ji Ruyi, that world would be his sooner or later. He has been the Emperor of Great Qin for 50 years, and he has also shocked the world for 50 years. Although the three kingdoms of Zhao, Dasheng and Daqin are established, the number one power in the world has always been Daqin.
Zong Zhengke never thought that she had the ability to change the general trend of the world, and she did not have such ambitions. She is self-aware, and all her planning and hard work are used to seek justice for her miserable past life. Tianxingguo, placed under the whole world, is only an inferior country in the middle and third-grade countries, and she has to take great pains - she has never been a scheming and far-reaching capable person.
In her previous life, she was kind to people, such as Tianyi Zhenren and Li Yi, she could only repay them to the best of her ability. But to say that she can save the Tianyi True Sect and the Eastern Tang Kingdom from annihilation, even if she is daydreaming, she can't. No diamonds, no porcelain work. She is only one person, how can she compete with the major powers in the world led by Great Qin? Only sigh.
The general trend is that the senior brother is around, and it is really a pressure everywhere. As soon as he left, Zong Zhengke was relaxed again, but the spirit that had been tight immediately slackened. She meditated on the futon and slowly fell asleep.
On the second day, Zong Zhengke's life returned to the way it used to be. She left the Zen monastery of the abbot of Zhiqing, and under the guidance of the little novice, she took an umbrella and unknowingly returned to the pilgrim retreat of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, where she had been "recuperating".
In the past few days, Mingxin pretended to be her and lay in bed, and the Zongzheng family who later visited the patient were convinced of Xu's statement on behalf of her - on the day the flash flood washed away the Liuli Nunnery, she was rescued by Master Huiyong, the vegetarian teacher of Ci'en Temple, and was taken directly to Ci'en Temple, but she was frightened and fell ill and has been in a coma. So it wasn't until she woke up that the Temple of Mercy and Grace complied with her wishes and took her family out of the Sanqingguan.
Seeing Zong Zhengke push the door into the room, Xu was relieved and overjoyed, but after seeing the girl's face clearly, she immediately became anxious. Even an ordinary woman like her, who doesn't know martial arts, can also see that Zong Zhengke is probably inappropriate. This is good, save yourself from pretending to be sick again.
Xu Shi rushed forward to hold Zong Zhengke's elbow, carefully carried her to the round stool by the table and sat down, and muttered distressedly: "Good girl, where have you been busy these days?" I have seen a great sin! Look at your face, sigh ......," she said, and she had already brewed a strong Buddha tea and handed it over, "Hurry up and warm up, this rain is still cold." ”
Zong Zhengke was not reckless, leaned lazily on Xu's body, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, fetch some water for me to wash." ”
Xu was too busy to respond, and helped Zong Zhengke to the bedside pillow to let her crooked, and walked out quickly. After a while, she came in with hot water, followed by the bouncing bright moon. Mingyue trotted to Zong Zhengke, touched her girl's cold hand, her eyes were sore, and she almost burst into tears, and muttered: "The girl has lost a lot of weight, is she really sick?" ”
Zong Zhengke smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, just raise it for a few days." ”
Xu called Mingyue over, the two of them held hands, and soon served Zong Zhengke, washed his hands and wiped his body, changed into a clean and warm middle coat, and settled her to sleep comfortably. Zong Zhengke's brain was groggy, and the sequelae of Yan Zhan's internal injuries finally came out completely, and he fell asleep as soon as his head was next to the pillow, and he didn't even see Mingxin's side.
I don't know when, Zong Zhengke was gently shaken in her sleep, and someone kept calling her in her ear. It took her a lot of effort to open her eyes, and in the misty light, she dimly saw that the Xu family, Mingyue Mingxin, and Master Yuanzhen were all gathered around her bedside, and everyone was scorched.
Seeing that Zong Zhengke had finally woken up, the tears that had been in his eyes fell instead, and he bowed to the Buddha and said, "Bodhisattva bless, girl, you have finally woken up." There is something bad outside, and it is estimated that something big is going to happen, and Master Yuanzhen said that he will not take you to leave Yuyan Mountain first. ”
Zong Zhengke motioned for everyone to help her up, and when she sat down, Mingxin had already poured warm water. After drinking half a cup of water with Mingxin's hand, Zong Zhengke asked, "Yuanzhen, what happened?" ”
Master Yuanzhen replied: "Uncle Qiyu, for some reason, the gate of Sanqingguan can't be opened, the original good disaster relief has stopped, and no one cares about the life or death of the people who built the embankment. In the past few days, dozens of people have been swept away by the floods. In the morning, the teacher and nephew found that something was not quite right, and it seemed that someone was secretly inciting the people to make trouble. Not long ago, someone came to report that hundreds of people had gathered in Dawang Village at the foot of Yuyan Mountain, and they came to the mountain in the dark. ”
"Where are Abbot Zhiqing and Master Huiyi?" Zong Zhengke can't care about the weakness of his body, so he has to get out of bed to see people. It was easy for her to ask Li Yi to do something, and she didn't want to give up halfway.
However, Mingxin steadily supported Zong Zhengke. Her subordinates exerted their strength slightly, and Zong Zhengke's cultivation was completely lost at this time, and he couldn't move under Mingxin's palm.
Zong Zhengke slowly looked up, Mingxin let go of his hand, his knees fell to the ground, and he kowtowed: "Please don't worry about these little things, you don't have to worry about these little things, you have to focus on the girl's body!" Your internal injuries are so severe that you must not worry about exertion. ”
Mingxin was a slave sent by Zong Zhengke when he was eight years old before he left the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom and returned to Daqin. When she said such things at this time, there was no doubt that she was entrusted by the general situation. Zong Zhengke's eyes were silent, and his face became darker and darker in the dim light.
Xu only knew that Zong Zhengke's body was not right, but he didn't know that she had suffered extremely serious internal injuries. Hearing this, she also came up to support Zong Zhengke, and tried her best to persuade Zong Zhengke to stop worrying about other things. Mingyue is like a child, and she only thinks about Zong Zhengke, so she naturally follows and persuades her.
There is only Master Yuanzhen, although she is a martial nun of the Great Jing Wutang Sword Pavilion, she was born in the Dapushou Zen Academy, and Zong Zhengke does not do anything she wants, she never puts her beak. Zong Zhengke's gaze wandered for a moment, and naturally fell on Yuanzhen: "Yuanzhen's nephew, you go, help me find Huiyi's master." ”
Master Yuanzhen glanced at Mingxin and saluted respectfully to Zongzhengke: "Obey the decree of Uncle Shi." ”
After Yuanzhen lifted the curtain and went out, Zong Zhengke said to Xu again: "Auntie, I'm a little hungry and want to eat your millet porridge." He asked Xu to take Mingyue to prepare two refreshing side dishes to accompany the porridge.
Where did the Xu family not know that Zong Zhengke had something to say to Mingxin, so he hurriedly responded and left with the reluctant Mingyue. Waiting for only the two masters and servants left in the room, Zong Zhengke lowered his head to look at Mingxin, and said slowly: "Mingxin, is your father's family okay?" ”
Mingxin's body shook slightly, he didn't dare to raise his head, he still fell to the ground and replied: "Girl, Mingxin's father and mother have all passed away, and there is only one brother." ”
Zong Zhengke asked again: "Is your brother following the senior brother?" Did you come to Yuyan Mountain this time? ”
"It's coming. He also asked the girl for forgiveness, because the girl was not there and could not tell her, and the slave and the maid met quietly with her brother. Mingxin didn't hide it, everything was the truth.
"So, did your brother mention what kind of future your brother will promise you in the future?" Zong Zhengke's soft voice exploded in Mingxin's ears like thunder, she saw Mingxin actually fall to the ground uncontrollably, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Mingxin, do you want to go home?" ”
"Girl, do you know anything?" Mingxin finally raised his head, his face full of panic.
Zong Zhengke shook his head, no longer looked at Mingxin, looked through the window lattice to the distant unknown place, and said lightly: "What do I know?" I don't know anything. All I know is that you are only doing what you are told. I don't blame you, but I don't want to have a double-minded slave by my side. I don't want anything about me to be passed on to you when I don't know it's reluctant. ”
"Girl, girl...... Mingxin couldn't cry, and cried in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's Mingxin who is sorry for the girl." ”
This is such a beautiful girl, Lan Xinhui is very smart and intelligent. Zong Zhengke didn't know if Mingxin had also entered the back and palace of Yingfusu in his previous life. But she knew that she really shouldn't have the person that Ying Fusu specially gave to her by her side. That's dangerous. This time, whether she can send Mingxin away or not, there are some things she must explain.
Zong Zhengke said softly: "You go and ask your real master for instructions yourself, and you will say that I can't tolerate you anymore and want you to go." Whether you can save your life or not, I can't help you. You know, Mingxin, my master said that I was ruthless by nature. ”
"Girl, His Holiness is well-intentioned. It doesn't matter whether the slave is alive or dead, please don't misunderstand the Venerable, girl. Mingxin stopped crying and kowtowed heavily.
"Then you come to sue me, what is this kindness of senior brother?" Zong Zhengke gathered the thin quilt covering his body and wrapped himself tightly, "Let you look at me, turn me into his puppet, and speak and act according to his will?" But I'm a human, not a puppet. I respect my brother, but that doesn't mean that I will follow his instructions completely. I don't want to be a doll in his hands! ”
In the final analysis, she only dared to express her dissatisfaction with her senior brother like this. Zong Zhengke laughed at herself, she was a coward, and she was afraid that her senior brother would come to such a point.
"Girl, His Holiness has already shown him, and there is no need to send him any news about you from now on. And before, the Venerable asked, and the slave and maid said; His Holiness doesn't ask, and the slave never talks much! Mingxin leaned on the bed on his knees, clinging to the edge of the bed with both hands, and begged bitterly, "Please don't drive the slave away now!" Slaves and maids are not afraid of death, you are not cultivating now, and you can't leave people around you. Ask the girl to let the slave die for you! ”
Zong Zhengke sighed, and finally heard what she wanted to hear. If she really let Mingxin leave, not only Mingxin, but even her brother would probably die. Her senior brother recites the Buddhist scriptures of compassion in his mouth, but he has eighteen layers of hell in his heart. But if you don't have the perseverance to kill decisively, how can you come to Daqin's great cause for thousands of miles?
