Volume 3 The Two Capitals Chapter 16 The Wind and the Clouds are treacherous
The dim winter day finally rose, but there was no trace of warm light, but it made people feel awe-inspiring sorrow, just like the atmosphere of Yangling at the moment.
The mission led by Dan Chenzi arrived as scheduled, and after a brief handover with Nanying, Nanying didn't even have time to say a word, Nanying embarked on the return journey with a calm face, which made Dan Chenzi, who had been reunited for a long time, a little disappointed and embarrassed.
The cavalry of the brigade was already ready to go, and immediately after the order of the main general, they immediately set up camp in an orderly manner. However, unlike the galloping horses and imposing momentum when they came, the morale of the entire army seemed to be a little sluggish, and several generals even showed a decadent face, revealing a strong sense of ambition and unrewarded.
Li Jin stood quietly in front of Yangling, watching the team of people and horses go all the way to the east, his eyes flashed with a complicated and incomprehensible sadness, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said to himself: "Yingyang Zhonglang will go this way, I'm afraid that all kinds of mysteries on the Xianyang Plain will not be solved!" ”
"Oh? It seems that Li Shichang has a lot of respect for Nanying Yang! A faint voice came from behind him.
Li Jin turned around, bowed down and said, "It turned out to be Lord Jing Zhaoyin!" ”
"It's rare that Nan Yingyang is very important to you, and you love him so much, but why don't you go with him and show your ambitions?" Liu Tao was puzzled: "Although Nan Yingyang was frustrated this time, but after all, he is a military general, and it is not his forte to investigate and solve mysteries, and no one can blame him for this." And judging from the fact that the Son of Heaven urgently summoned him back to Beijing, he is still extremely honored, and his future is limitless. Being able to follow such a person is exactly the dream you have been pursuing! ”
"Your Excellency!" Li Jin showed a faint melancholy on his face: "I also want to go with my humble position, but this time I have a weak heart and I haven't built an inch, which makes General Nan leave gloomily." My lord, please think, what kind of shame is left under the general's account? ”
"Alas! Nanying really didn't mistake you! Liu Tao looked regretful, patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, but you are indeed a Qu Cai to stay in Yangling, wait for this official to plan for your good life!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Li Jin said gratefully: "It's really ...... to be humble."
"Don't say these false words!" Liu Tao said disapprerovitously: "Although your uncle and the official are brothers and sisters, the official will not show favoritism for personal gain, but for the country!" ”
"Uncle, his old man, are you okay?" Li Jin lowered his head slightly: "He must have been disappointed to run away that day!" ”
"Don't worry about him, this is also an old fool!" Liu Tao said helplessly: "Isn't it because you are a concubine?" What happened to the concubine? Only talented people can revitalize their family business, and he didn't even understand this truth, so it's no wonder you chose to join the army! ”
"No, it's not like that!" Li Jin blushed and said, "Uncle's kindness to the heavens and the earth is not ......."
"Huh? What's going on here? Liu Tao suddenly interrupted him, looked into the distance in a daze, and said, "It's Master Jingnian!" Is he resigning? ”
Several Yangling officials sent Master Jingnian out, and seemed to be saying something to keep him, but Jingnian was very strong, and after saying a few words, he turned around and walked out.
"Liu Jingzhao, these days are more than a ray of light!" Jingnian came to Liu Tao and said, "The poor monk is here to resign today!" ”
"Where is the master?" Liu Tao replied: "Isn't it because you want to continue to track down the murderer of Senior Brother Ling?" ”
"Definitely! When a person dies, it is empty, how can a monk be impure and do something to repay wrongs? Jing Nian said indifferently: "When the poor monk came here before, he just brought back the ashes of his junior brother by the way!" ”
"Then the master must be returning to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang!" Liu Tao said with relief: "Yes, Senior Brother Ling is also a generation of senior monks, although unfortunately killed, he should also return his relics to the temple as soon as possible!" ”
"Your Excellency, you are wrong again!" Jing Nian shook his head and said: "The poor monk is going to Xianyang Plain to find the truth of the incident, whether it is successful or not, but he does not plan to return here!" ”
"What?" Liu Tao was taken aback and said, "Master, don't!" Nan Yingyang mobilized more than a thousand strong soldiers but failed to solve this case, causing the Son of Heaven to send Danchen Zi Immortal Elder to investigate, what can you do alone? ”
Seeing that Jingnian just shook his head, he couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted: "Master, that Li Youjun is also a meritorious person, and he insists on going his own way without listening to dissuasion, and his life and death are still unknown, isn't it worthy of the master's vigilance?" ”
"Li Youjun?" Jing Nian showed a hint of complexity, and sighed softly: "The poor monk knows that you all despise him a little, but it is this person who still has the courage to walk alone, but it is admired by the poor monk!" ”
"The poor monk doesn't know if there are really any demon beasts here, but even if there are, they are still fearless!" He proclaimed the Buddha's trumpet: "In the past, the Buddha cut meat and fed eagles with fearless compassion, and this was the final result!" If this calamity can be removed, why should the poor monk be afraid to give up this stinky skin? ”
Liu Tao was speechless when he heard it, but he deeply felt the moving feelings of Jingnian Pu to save the world, and finally sighed and did not say anything more.
Looking at the tall back of Jingnian gradually drifting away, Liu Tao and Li Jin glanced at each other, and they both felt the heavy depression in their hearts.
Liu Tao turned around slowly, but at a glance he saw Sun Binshuo and Xiangkai standing not far away, Sun Binshuo sneered, quite disdainful. Xiangkai was expressionless, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
"Alas! Sun Daxia, Mr. Xiang! Liu Tao stepped forward and complained a little: "Why did the two masters actually watch from the sidelines here? That Master of Pure Thoughts is in danger alone, so the two of you should persuade you anyway! ”
"Humph! is full of fake and bloody words to help the world and save people, who knows if it is true or false? Sun Binshuo flashed a mocking look and said: "Maybe the monk has already gone away, and he will go back to the temple to ring the bell and chant the Buddha with peace of mind, but before leaving, he insists on pretending to be a monk who 'I don't go to hell, who doesn't go to hell'!" ”
"Not really, right?" Liu Tao was surprised and said: "I have heard for a long time that Master Jingnian is a noble and virtuous monk, how can he .......?"
"If you really want to investigate the case alone, go by yourself!" Sun Binshuo interrupted unceremoniously: "Why bother to talk about it when you meet someone? It seems that others are afraid that others will not know, which makes people have to doubt the motives of this high monk! ”
"If it were me, I would have to crack this matter first, and then it would not be too late to ask for credit!" He turned his head and left, dropping a hard sentence: "Empty words can make Lord Jing Zhaoyin grateful to Dade, this monk is indeed a master!" ”
Liu Tao couldn't help laughing, he looked at Xiangkai, and said: "This Sun Daxia is really fast!" But Mr. Xiang, you ......"
"You don't have to ask me!" Xiangkai said bluntly: "I don't know that monk, can I control what he is willing to do?" ”
"Ahh This one? Liu Tao was so blocked that he almost couldn't catch it.
"The senior monks are seeking benevolence, but it is you, Lord Liu!" Xiang Kai changed his words and said: "Why do you want to stop the monk from seeking the right result? Monk Ke didn't do anything wrong with you, did he? You're not kind enough! ”
"Me? I'm not kind? Liu Tao was dumbfounded and said, "Where does this start?" I ......"
Xiangkai Shi Shiran turned around, shook his head and said: "The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, the evil of an adult, and the villain is the opposite!" ”
Liu Tao looked at Li Jin, who was covering his mouth and snickering, and almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurted out: "I let go of my pure thoughts to send me to death, but it is the beauty of adults?" If you don't let him go, I'll be a villain? It's unreasonable! ”
Darkness once again descended on Xianyangyuan. The boundless shroud of night is the best cover for crimes, and it is also the best camouflage for the suppers.
The two dark shadows gathered in one place again, engaged in a thrilling conversation.
"Great, the one surnamed Nan is finally gone! Big things can be expected! ”
"Exactly, I don't know how many powerful people in the organization have suffered a big loss in his hands, I didn't expect you and my brother to make him disgraced and have to go away in embarrassment, what a joy!"
"But although the surname Nan is gone, a Danchen son has come. He is also a popular man of the Son of Heaven, not to be underestimated! ”
"Don't worry, I didn't see that old Taoist coming, he only cared about building some Taoist altar, preparing to cast spells to eliminate demons, and almost didn't make me laugh off my big teeth! He can't do it! ”
"That's right! Now that the enemy is gone, you and I will immediately continue to launch it. was so stirred up by Nan's coming, the plan had to be stalled, and the time was already quite tight! ”
"I was about to tell you about this, but today Ziyi secretly sent me a message, telling us to hurry up, and the above has been urging us very quickly!"
"Ziyi? Who is he? Alas, forget it, when I didn't ask! How are you going to act? The man couldn't help but speak a little hurriedly: "Among the nine imperial tombs, only our Yangling has discovered this great secret, and we must do it properly!" ”
"Hahaha! Needless to say, after this great achievement, you and my brother's soaring prosperity is just around the corner! ”
"To be honest, I really don't want to go on like this!" The man said quietly: "Your brother's status in the organization is above mine, and you will continue to take care of your brother in the future!" ”
"Don't worry about this, how can I treat you badly? Well, let's get down to business, although Ning Shao is dead, he has already done enough work before, and the mission left to us is not complicated, as long as the remaining passages are opened, a secret transportation line can be opened unconsciously......."
"What? Do you want to ship things out? But that's not what we were instructed to do! ”
"Stupid! When did I say I was going to ship it out? I'm just going to open two lanes, transport the goods away, plug them up, and then find another way. In this way, it is not only convenient for us to hide the goods, but also to cut off the clues of the court's investigation! ”
"Of course!" He muttered: "How to transport in the future must also be considered early, so I want to take precautions!" ”
"You don't have to think about it so much, anyway, your task and I are just to transfer those things out of Yangling, and the rest of the problems will naturally be managed by someone! By the way, today Na Jingnian left alone, saying that he wanted to find out the truth, how are you going to deal with it? ”
"Humph! Opinionated! The man said gloomily, "Why are there so many of these good deeds in this world?" He's killing himself! ”
"Oh? What are you going to do with him? ”
"What do you say?" The man let out a murderous chuckle: "The success of the organization's plan is imminent, and the person surnamed Nan has also left, we must no longer tolerate the existence of variables that may fail!" ”
"You! Are you trying to kill him with your own hands? ”
"Kill him? No, no, no! How could I risk this? Isn't there still a second child? The man's eyes flashed like cold light in the dark night: "A monk with the power to subdue demons also died tragically in the mouth of the demon beast on the Xianyang Plain, how much panic will this incident cause?" Don't you think that's what we're trying to do? ”
