Mingluo walked back to the main street, summoned the seven-colored rainbow mount back to the barracks, and was about to arrange for someone to send Qing Yao and his party out of the city. The subordinates hurriedly came to report, and the abbot of Qitian Temple asked to see him.

Qitian Temple is a temple in the mortal world, and the Buddhist family is "ten ancient and modern, always never departing from the mind; The boundless realm, from the other is not separated by the slightest, the place of cultivating the mind, and it is also the place outside the independent three mountains and nine cities.

Mingluo greeted the outside of the tent and saw an old monk waiting outside, only to see that the old monk was kind and kind, a pair of eyes looked clean and bright, blazing, nine ring scars on the head, the skull was high and raised, and he was dressed in a Futian robe, standing like a golden bell.

The monk saw Mingluo clasping his hands together and saluting: "Amitabha, the monk of Qitian Temple has no space to see General Mingluo." ”

Mingluo stepped out of the way and said: "Master Wukong is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao, and I don't know why I came here because I suddenly visited today. ”

The monk said: "The monk recently watched the sky at night, and found that there was a faint disaster of blood and light in Nanjun, thinking of what happened in Windy City recently, it is expected that Windy City will attack Nanjun, please General Ming hope to be sympathetic to life and not start a war." ”

Mingluo was a little surprised and said, "Where is the mage, I didn't receive an order to attack Nanjun. ”

Master Wukong said: "The sky is unpredictable, everything must have a cause, I see that the general and my sect are fateful, so I hope that the donor will be merciful and not kill on a large scale, so as not to destroy the souls." ”

Mingluo said disdainfully: "The mage is too worried, Mingluo, as a general, is responsible for the safety of one side, responsible for the people of this side, killing demons, marching and fighting, and not killing innocents indiscriminately." ”

Master Wukong: "At the same time, if one side harms the other, what is right and wrong, the world does not believe in cause and effect, who has been spared by cause and effect?

Mingluo felt that there was something to ask about this question and said, "Of course that's a good thing." Wukong bowed his head and said: "The donor's words are wrong, I don't know how many insects it will eat if the bird is saved, and whether the donor has done a good thing or a bad thing for the insects?"

Master Wukong's words stopped Mingluo, Mingluo thought for a while, was speechless, and said to Master Wukong: "The wisdom of the mage is incomparable, may I ask how the mage should deal with it." ”

Master Wukong replied: "Amitabha, if you have good thoughts in your heart, do not do evil, do good deeds and do not do good thoughts, you can enter the Buddha's path with a calm mind. ”

Mingluo saluted and said: "Thank you for the teachings of the Master, Mingluo has been taught." ”

After bidding farewell to Master Wukong, Mingluo instructed his henchmen to arrange the route for Qin Yao to leave, but he still felt unstable in his heart, thinking about it, he still gave Qing Yao a token.

At this time, it was already dark, and Mingluo rode on his mount and left the barracks to meet Qing Yao at the place he had agreed before.

When he walked into the bamboo forest, he saw the corpses of Qing Yao soldiers and Feng Guo soldiers lying on the ground with blood stains. Mingluo secretly said that it was not good, and he hurriedly dared to go to the main hall of the city lord of Wind City.

The guards saw Ming Luo and said, "General Ming, the city lord is looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself." ”

Ming Xin hurriedly walked to the main hall and saw the city lord discussing something with several generals in their seats.

Fenglai saw Mingda and said, "Mingluo, where have you gone, we are discussing the Southern Expedition, and we are about to discuss it with you." The other generals also stood up to greet Mingluo when they saw it.

Mingluo glanced at a few generals, some of them were originally the subordinates of the eldest prince, and the other part was the generals who had just been promoted in the Nanmen Campaign, and Li Li, the king of Beijun, was also there.

Mingluo swallowed the words that he wanted to ask Qing Yao and said: "City Lord, the sinner Aoki is dead, and the City Lord is going to attack Nanjun at this time, and I am afraid that the people will be uneasy." ”

Li Li, the king of Beijun, disagreed: "General Ming doesn't know, although Aoki is dead, there are still many old subordinates of Aoki in Nanjun, these people are still desperately resisting, these people are not removed, it will be a big disaster in the future." ”

Fenglai nodded and agreed: "What the king of Beijun said is echoing my wishes, Mingluo I will make you a general, tomorrow I will lead 100,000 troops to recover all parts of Nanjun, all of Aoki's subordinates, one will be executed without leaving all, Aoki will destroy his family for nine generations, and send an official document to the cities, whoever wants to take in Aoki Yu Dang is the enemy of Fengguo." ”

Mingluo was shocked, knelt down and said: "City Lord, Mingluo can't accept the position of general, and persuade the city lord to be merciful and let Nanjun go." ”

Fenglai thought that Mingluo knelt down to thank him, but he didn't think that Mingluo's answer was the opposite of his own, and his face couldn't help but look difficult. Walked back to his seat, speechless for a moment.

The city lord didn't speak, and the other generals and the king of Beijun didn't dare to say much when they knew the relationship between Mingluo and the city lord, so they all stood aside.

After half an hour, Feng Lai put away the anger on his face, looked at Mingluo who was kneeling and said to everyone: "General Ming and I have important matters to discuss, you retreat first, and wait for me to summon." ”

The king of Beijun and the other generals bowed down, and when they left, a few generals deliberately curried favor with the city lord and whispered: "I don't know what to do!"

After everyone retreated, Feng Lai walked down the seat, helped Mingluo and said: "Mingluo, you and my brother, the difficulty of the capital is only you by my side, without you there will be no wind, I also secretly swear, this wind city is here, there will be you glorious and rich one day, why oppose me in public today." ”

Mingluo was ashamed and said: "Mingluo can't live with the city lord, I fell in love with Aoki's daughter Qingyao at first sight, and we have already made a lifelong decision, Mingluo promised Qingyao to protect her family's life and keep the people of Nanjun safe." ”

Fenglai was not surprised when he heard Mingluo's words: "That day, in my dormitory, I felt that you and her were intended, but Mingluo, Qingyao's father Aoki and the Moon Palace teamed up to kill my father and brother, how can I let go of this hatred!"

Speaking of this, the hatred on Fenglai's face was deeper: "I just let everyone in the world know the fate of the betrayer, I can't calm the anger in my heart if I don't kill, Mingluo You are the general of the Wind Country, under one person, above ten thousand people, how many beautiful and beautiful girls, how many and how many, why bother with a Qingyao." ”

Mingluo bowed his head and said: "The city lord is angry, when I met Qing Yao, I decided that she was the most loved person in my life, and I was only for her in my life." ”

Feng Lai only shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, I think this sentence is wrong, that is not a hero, but a fool, okay, Mingluo, I promise you Qing Yao can let it go, but Qing Yao's family can't let it go, as long as Qing Yao wants her to be still my lord of Fengcheng, this will not work." ”

Mingluo knelt down and said: "City Lord, Mingluo knows that Qing Yao's family is dead, and Qing Yao must not live alone, and it is not for Qing Yao, but for the people of Nanjun, and Ming Luo can't take people's lives lightly." ”

Feng Lai was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "My white-clothed general, what a hero you were when you killed the thousand-year-old demon of the Wind Country, at that time you were blood-stained in white robes, and the demons and people of the three mountains and nine cities called you the red-clothed man, but now how can you be the same as the old monk of Qitian Temple, giving birth to a bodhisattva heart." ”

Mingluo lowered his head and said calmly: "Mingluo thought about what he did in the past during this time, and he also felt that he was too murderous in the past, so he couldn't be appointed as a general, and he hoped that the city lord would be fulfilled." ”

Fenglai looked up at the roof and said: "Mingluo, do you know, children are long, heroes are short of breath, my father was killed by Aoki, what I am most afraid of is the people around me who are betraying the judgment, but I didn't think that you are the first, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Mingluo buried his head deeper and stopped talking.

After a long time, Feng came to see the kneeling below and sighed: "Get up, but there is bad news for you, your brother Mingyu met me, originally served me, and named him the commander of the Qilin Army, he sent someone to report, found Qing Yao's whereabouts, and has sent someone to chase and kill her, and there is no information yet." ”

In the depths of the bamboo forest, Qing Yao did not wait for the figure of Mingluo, but came to the pursuit of groups of black-clothed assassins, and in the desperate protection of the guards, Qing Yao and Andy were able to escape.

Qing Yao tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt to help tie up Andy's injured arm, Andy said with red eyes: "County Lord, could it be that General Mingluo betrayed us." ”

Qing Yao shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, absolutely not, he wants to kill us, one person has already killed him, there is no need to send these people at all." ”

Andy looked at the few remaining guards under his command and said, "Then the county lord, what should we do now?"

Qing Yao's handsome face crossed a trace of fortitude and said: "Earlier, I saw the map of Windy City from my father, and walked north through this bamboo forest, and after a mountain, we arrived at the land of Beijun. ”

Andy couldn't help but be surprised: "That's the territory of the King of Beijun, aren't we going to die?"

Qing Yao said confidently: "Soldiers, tricks, everyone will think that we will flee to the south, and we will go to the north, so it is the safest." ”

In the main hall of the Wind City, Mingyu wore a yellow stomach armor, knelt on the main hall and told the city lord Feng Lai: "City Lord, the subordinates are incompetent, let Qing Yao, the sinner escape, the minister has already set up many checkpoints on the road to Nanjun, and she will not be able to escape." ”

The wind looked at this Mingyu, whose face seemed to be loyal, but his eyes showed evil charm, and he didn't like it in his heart, if it weren't for the face of Mingluo and the old lady of the Ming family, he would never use this kind of ruthless and dark person.

Fenglai said slowly: "Commander Ming is hard, Qingyao's affairs are not in a hurry, I ask you, I let Ming Luo be the general of the Southern Expedition, Ming Luo can't resign, what do you think." ”

Mingyu knelt down and bowed his head and said: "Since ancient times, the sage has been humane: the king let the minister die, the minister has to die, and it is a big crime for Mingluo to be pampered and arrogant, please punish the city lord heavily." ”

Feng Lai's face couldn't help but flash with disdain, but he said without revealing a trace: "I have heard Mingyu's words very useful, but Mingluo is your younger brother after all, if I punish him, do you hate me in your heart." ”

Mingyu kowtowed again and said: "The city lord is my reborn parents, how can I disobey my parents and defend the principle of brothers, not to mention that Mingluo is wrong, the minister has long stopped treating him as a brother, even if the city lord asks Mingyu to kill him, Mingyu is not soft." ”

Fenglai nodded approvingly: "What a reborn parent, Mingyu I have something for you to do, if it is done, the position of the general is yours." ”

Mingyu was overjoyed and said: "Chen Mingyu is willing to do his best for the city lord, and he will die." ”
