Chapter 268: Killing People and Killing Mouths
(Two more!) It's starting to push up, so please support it. οΌ
Luo Bingguang took his eyes off Liu Jinyun and glanced coldly at those monk-robed soldiers, until they were silent, and then replied: "What Lord Liu said just now, I didn't hear it clearly. β
Just now, these monk-robed soldiers were in great panic, and when they saw Luo Bingguang at first glance, they would shout urgently. Now, they finally realized that this was not in Xiangyang Wei, and the general was no longer covering the sky with one hand.
From the moment the Tiger Ben soldiers rushed into the Mingde Temple, they knew that something was wrong, and what was waiting for them? Could it be that the Tiger Ben soldiers said that they were anti-thieves?
They just squatted on the ground and looked at Luo Bingguang in a panic and expectation.
Liu Jinyun looked at Luo Bingguang with a smile and repeated the words just now. ββIt seems that the colder Luo Bingguang's face is, the more he smiles happily.
It's best to be angry with him! There are so many private soldiers in Mingde Temple alone, how many temples are there in Xiangyang? How many private soldiers were hidden in those temples? Just by estimating like this, Liu Jinyun felt that the situation was serious.
No wonder, no wonder the imperial court has so many military supplies every year, and among them, I don't know how many of them are used to raise private soldiers like Luo Bingguang.
It is too normal for a guard to have redundant soldiers, and before Liu Jinyun left Jingzhao, the military department even gave a number, which means that the redundant soldiers within this number are still acceptable to the imperial court. But the number of Xiangyang Wei was too large, far beyond the imperial court's estimates.
General Yiwei, what are you doing with so many private soldiers? This answer is terrifying to think about. It almost made Liu Jinyun tremble.
But Luo Bingguang replied: "I don't know what Lord Liu is talking about!" Did you hear it wrong? Ben didn't know these people! β
As soon as he said this, the faces of the monk-robed soldiers in the pulpit changed, didn't the general want to abandon the pawn to protect the car? Even Liu Jinyun thought so, and he was about to summon the abbot on the side to testify, when he heard Luo Bingguang continue to speak.
"General Ben doesn't know them. However, since it is a thief who appeared in Xiangyang, it should be guarded by Xiangyangwei. These people, let Ben take them away! When I ask them where they come from, I will naturally give Lord Liu an explanation! Luo Bingguang's face turned pale and he said.
He said this. The monk-robed soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Returned to Xiangyangwei. Even if they return to their own territory, the general still protects them!
Liu Jinyun was about to say something, but saw Luo Bingguang wave his hand and put him aside. He wasn't given a chance to speak at all.
Then. Luo Bingguang approached one of the generals in the field. Questioned: "Are you the general of Xinyangwei?" But you know that now is not the time to change the guard, even if you come by the king's order and enter the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Wei. Do you want to be with the general first? β
This general is Zhang Chong of Xinyangwei, Zhang Chong who once sent someone to escort Shen Du back to Jingzhao. He was only promoted to the adjutant general of the first battalion last month, and happened to be ordered to lead troops to Xiangyang.
Hearing Luo Bingguang ask like this, he glanced at Shen Du with a bitter face before saying, "Please forgive me, the general, the last general has just come here, and he hasn't had time to report to the general." β
The ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is as straightforward as Zhang Chong, and he still knows it.
"In this case, Ben Jiang will not blame, so please ask Deputy General Zhang to step aside, and leave this matter to Ben General to deal with." Luo Bingguang continued. At the moment, he is completely oppressive with his official rank, who is called the highest rank of his presence here?
"Uh-uh...... This, it will be difficult for the end of the forgiveness to obey the fate. The last general came with the king's order and the tiger talisman to assist Lord Liu and others in surveying the monk's book. It would be a dereliction of duty to retreat to the side, and the last general would be terrified......" Zhang Chong blinked and said helplessly.
"Then, what does Vice General Zhang mean is that he is going to go against this general?" Luo Bingguang took another step closer and looked at Zhang Chong murderously, forcing Zhang Chong to bow his head in pain.
Even Liu Jinyun on one side was forced by his momentum and involuntarily took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Shen Du stepped forward and inserted himself between Luo Bingguang and Zhang Chong, and immediately dissolved Luo Bingguang's murderous aura, before he said: "The general doesn't need to be angry, who are these people, presumably the abbot of Mingde Temple knows very well, let's listen to what he has to say." β
Luo Bingguang's face remained unchanged, but in fact, his heart was already raised high. As soon as this young man came up, he dissolved his coercion, and his strength was extraordinary. Who is this person?
Seeing the scarlet official uniform on his body, Luo Bingguang couldn't help but squint his eyes and asked affirmatively, "Are you ...... Shen Du? β
This time, the youngest official in the ranks, when he was a scholar in the court, came with five hundred tiger soldiers, the adopted son of the emperor Shen Su, Shen Du?!
Shen Du smiled slightly and responded, "Xiaguan has seen the general. Now, why don't we listen to the abbot? β
He still reverted back to the relationship between Luo Bingguang and these monk-robed soldiers. You can't hide it. Here in Mingde Temple, in addition to these monks and soldiers, there are also many real monks and abbots, how can Luo Bingguang have the final say? Under such circumstances, these monk-robed soldiers could not be handed over to Luo Bingguang under any circumstances!
With that, he looked at the abbot of Mingde Temple and waited for the abbot to speak. His gaze was still so far away, just like the gaze he had just looked at Mingde Temple outside the mountain gate, and he seemed to be still asking, "Master, do you regret it?" β
The abbot remembered his uncle's gratitude to Shen Du, and remembered what Shen Du said, serving the country and the people is practice; If you have a common life, you are the Dharma. It seems that this is the truth.
So he lowered his head and folded his hands and said, "Amitabha." The monks don't say anything, these residents are actually soldiers of Xiangyang Guard, and there are 5,000 people. At the request of General Luo, Lao Ne accepted them. β
"The bald donkey's bloody mouth spews people! When will Ben see you? Hugh is babbling! The Xiangyang guards are either in Longshan or patrolling in various places, how can they be in this Mingde Temple? Luo Bingguang shouted angrily, blocking the abbot's speech.
And Luo Yi, who was following behind everyone, took advantage of everyone's inattention, and secretly shot a poison dart, heading straight for the abbot's throat. Just when he thought that the blow would be hit, he only heard a "bang", and the poison dart was shot down to the ground, shining with a faint blue light.
Shen Du glanced at Luo Yi coldly. Killing people in public? Isn't this second son Luo too stupid? Or did he think that his martial arts were the highest in the audience? Hehe.
The abbot was stupefied by this poison dart, and if no one stopped it, then ...... Then he's dead! This time, he finally realized that he regretted not being at the beginning!
"The old man is afraid that the loss of Mingde Temple is too much, and the food consumption of these 5,000 people is recorded every day, and he also asked the eldest prince Luo to sign and seal, all of which are well documented, and they are all properly kept by Lao Ne." He shuddered, said what he didn't want to say, and fell to the ground.
"General, what else do you have to say now?" Shen Du looked directly at Luo Bingguang, pressing step by step. With these evidences of the abbot, the relationship between the General's Mansion and these monk-robed soldiers can't be taken off!
Luo Bingguang didn't speak, but frowned, as if thinking about something.
"Father!" Luo Yi shouted like this, took a few steps forward, held Luo Bingguang's hand tightly, and motioned for Luo Bingguang to order to do it at this time. There are still monks and soldiers in Mingde Temple, as well as 30,000 Xiangyang guards under the mountain!
None of these people in Mingde Temple will be able to escape! As long as these people are gone, the imperial court will not know what happened in Xiangyang at all, then the Great General's Mansion will be safe.
Luo Bingguang understood what his son meant, and then saw that those monk-robed soldiers were secretly accumulating strength, and his eyes had a strong killing intent, this time, it was no longer as simple as coercion.
Shen Du naturally saw this killing intent, but he said a word leisurely, and in an instant, Luo Bingguang's killing intent retreated.
