Section 223 It is up to man to plan things, and heaven to make things happen

However, it happened suddenly, and there was no resourceful Li Yan around Ji Qingwen to serve as a counselor, so he could only deny it for the time being: "Where did Sect Master Xu hear this rumor?" In the next miscellaneous official, he doesn't know how to behave in the world, and in the Beijing Division, he is like a mouse crossing the street, so he sends everyone to shout and beat. To put it bluntly, I am holding the silver and begging a few adults in the court to accept it, but they may not be willing to give me this face! ”

Xu Hongru sneered: "So, Lord Ji didn't give money to the officials of the imperial court?" ”

"No, no, indeed, certainly not." Ji Qingwen replied.

Xu Hongru sneered: "That's weird. The gold in Wei Zhongxian's nine statues is 270,000 taels, that is, 27,000 catties, I don't know what kind of magic Lord Ji used to transport such a heavy amount of gold out of Beijing under the emperor's nose? ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak: "This ...... This...... Who did you hear all this from? Don't believe these rumors, what statues? What gold? What Wei Zhongxian? I don't know anything. ”

Xu Hongru suddenly showed a hideous color, and said, "It's okay if Master Ji knows, or if you don't know." All in all, all this gold is the people's fat and people's ointment looted by Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch. It should be that the person who sees it has a share, and the adult swallows it alone, so he is not afraid of hurting the yin virtue? ”

"Slow down, slow ......" Ji Qingwen suddenly thought of something.

After a moment of silence, he said, "That's not right. Wei Zhongxian's inheritance, I didn't take it alone. That's how it should be. I originally thought that Wei Zhongxian called himself 'Nine Thousand Years Old', so he made nine statues for himself, but in fact, he had the intention of usurping the throne and seizing power, and what he wanted to do in his heart was 'Long Live Lord'. So there are not just nine statues, but ten! On that day, I felt strange in the Baiyun Temple, why the statue that was supposed to be buried in the backyard of the Baiyun Temple was inexplicably excavated, someone must have gotten the news in advance and rushed to move in front of me. Who did I think it was? ”

As he spoke, the muzzle of the musket in Ji Qingwen's hand pointed at Xu Hongru and said, "It turned out to be Sect Master Xu, you!" It's just that Sect Master Xu doesn't have that much ability, so he can't transport all ten statues, but only one of themβ€”it is estimated that the method of breaking them into pieces is still used. Therefore, the 'black gem' in the neck of the old bustard Ma Xianglan must have been given by Sect Master Xu, right? ”

Xu Hongru was stunned by Ji Qingwen's thoughts, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then praised: "Lord Ji is worthy of being a person with a quick mind and a lively mind, and what he said is actually all right." Don't hide it from Lord Ji that on that day at the Fucheng Station, Lao Yu did not leave immediately, but kept lurking nearby, and only left after hearing that the Jinyi Wei surnamed Xu finished speaking. Therefore, the old man also knows that there must be something within the Jingshi Baiyun Temple

Uncanny. It's a pity that the old man is not as smart as Lord Ji, and after looking for a whole year, he found clues and excavated these statues from the mud. However, there is a poem 'after picking a hundred flowers into honey, for whom the hard work is sweet for whom', the old man just shipped out a statue, but he met the Manchurian Tartars into the customs for the Kou, the whole city of Beijing is under martial law, and the remaining nine can't be transported out, which all fell into the palm of Lord Ji's hands. ”

Ji Qingwen listened to this tortuous process, and also felt a little emotional, and said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." The master of the Xu Sect did everything, but in the end, it was fulfilled below, so it can be seen that the heavens are also on my side. Therefore, I advise Sect Leader Xu to rein in the precipice and not do anything against the sky. ”

When Xu Hongru heard this, he remembered that he had achieved great martial arts when he was thirty years old, and he took over the position of sect leader from the former leader of the White Lotus Sect, but in the past few decades, he has had several incidents, either stillborn, or was strongly suppressed by the imperial court, and none of them were able to occupy the state and county and succeed.

"Could it really be as Ji Qingwen, the thief, said, that God will not let me succeed?"

This thought was fleeting in Xu Hongru's mind - those so-called "heaven and man induction" were all ideas put forward by Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian in the Western Han Dynasty, and had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect that Xu Hongru believed in.

In fact, the White Lotus Sect is a branch of the Ming Sect, claiming that when the Ming Emperor descends to earth, he will cleanse all evil demons and foreign ways, and he will change the sky and create a paradise.

And who is Mingzun?

Xu Hongru's master, that is, the former leader of the White Lotus Sect, was clearly saying in his confused and vague words before he died - Xu Hongru is not Mingzun's spokesperson in the world, but Mingzun himself.

Mingzun, that is, Xu Hongru, is on the great mission of turning the world upside down and creating bliss!

At least that's what Xu Hongru himself thinks.

Therefore, after listening to Ji Qingwen's snatching of white, the anger only flashed in Xu Hongru's mind, and then he smiled with relief: "When Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was a little monk, how many people could have predicted that he would open a new dynasty for 200 years?" Lord Ji, time is precious, we have talked a lot of nonsense, so you should go with the old man! Otherwise...... Hey hey ......"

Listening to Xu Hongru's two sneers, Ji Qingwen knew that now he had finally reached the point where he had finally seen the poor dagger, and couldn't help but clench the handle of the musket that was already stained with sweat in his hand, and gritted his teeth and said: "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere!" ”

The muscles on Xu Hongru's face twitched, and a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "This is beyond you!" ”

As he spoke, he slowly moved his steps and forced him in front of Ji Qingwen.

"There's no way but to shoot this guy!"

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwen finally made up his mind, and immediately pulled the trigger of the pistol in his right hand.

Xu Hongru is not a person who has never seen the world, he has long known the purpose and power of the musket, and the reason why he still said so much to Ji Qingwen is that he is a little afraid of the two muskets in his hand.

Therefore, the White Lotus Sect Master, who was highly skilled in martial arts, paid attention to the direction of the muzzle aiming from beginning to end, and always stared at the movements of Ji Qingwen's two index fingers on the trigger of the musket.

When he saw Ji Qingwen's right index finger trembling, he knew that it must have been fired by the musket on his left hand, so he hurriedly deflected to his right, trying to dodge the attack of the bullet - he boasted that if several guns or more than a dozen guns shot at him at the same time, he would inevitably lose one or the other, but he could avoid the attack of one gun, wouldn't it be as difficult as dodging a hidden weapon in the hands of a martial arts master?

With his own skills, even if he is a thousand-armed Guanyin and an eight-armed Arhat who are famous in the hidden weapon kung fu on the rivers and lakes to attack him, it is not so easy to attack himself!

However, Xu Hongru was still overconfident.

He did all the calculations, but still underestimated the speed of the bullet's flight.

I saw the muzzle of the pistol in Ji Qingwen's right hand flashing, Xu Hongru had no time to dodge, and leaned back in response, only relying on a hard breath in the dantian that he did not fall down to the sky, but he was also very embarrassed to take a few steps back, and he leaned against the wall behind him before he completely fell.

When the smoke from the muzzle of the pistol in his hand cleared, Ji Qingwen saw that the fierce White Lotus Sect Leader Xu Hongru had been shot in the left shoulder, and a piece of flesh the size of a ball on the tip of his shoulder was knocked off, and blood was gushing out from the wound the size of a child's palm.

After being shot, Xu Hongru was quite calm, immediately stretched out his right hand, and desperately pinched the veins and arteries connecting his left shoulder to the heart, until the blood was blocked, and a wounded left arm drooped weakly, then he raised his head and said to Ji Qingwen: "Lord Ji, your musket is powerful, but your marksmanship is worse." If this shot is more accurate, the life of the old man will be in your hands! ”

Ji Qingwen listened to him and felt weak, and his face became bloodless, realizing that although his shot did not completely relieve Xu Hongru's combat effectiveness, it also caused a heavy blow to his body.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen was in good spirits, and said to Xu Hongru very proudly: "Sect Master Xu, it seems that the musket in my right hand is female, and it is somewhat of a woman's kindness, so I didn't kill you with a single shot." But 'male left, female right', this pistol in my left hand is male, it must not be so easy to speak, if you are difficult to be strong, this gun in my left hand will be unwelcome. ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen raised his left hand holding the musket, with a smug smile on his face.
