"What, our men attacked Jinyiwei's convoy?" The Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect, Xiao Yanfeng, was stunned when he heard this.

"Great Elder, we are trying our best to salvage the situation, but your people are openly attacking the convoy commanded by the Jinyi Guard in the capital, isn't this deliberately stirring up the situation?" Opposite the Great Elder, the second-rank senior who had always been elegant and graceful shouted a little anxiously.

"How did I not know this, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen." The Great Elder flatly denied it.

"This is a report, I don't have to lie, you can see for yourself." The second-grade senior took out a stack of reports and handed them to Xiao Yanfeng.

It is worthy of a powerful family, and besides, he went to visit Rosie, and he was ambushed on a street, and the Jinyi guard killed more than 20 White Lotus Sect personnel, these things are written in detail in the report.

There are even details of Li Baihua and Shuntianfu Yin personally going to the scene to investigate.

The Great Elder and the Holy Maiden couldn't help but be suspicious, they really hadn't given such an order, and the White Lotus Sect's personnel in the capital didn't have any mission to attack or assassinate the imperial court officials, how could such a strange thing fall from the sky.

As a sect, the first task of the secret personnel in the capital is, of course, to secretly proselytize and develop more and more believers, followed by collecting all kinds of information, and also to receive and escort those who cross the border. There are no other tasks other than these, and they will strictly follow the orders from above, and will never act on their own.

Xiao Yanfeng has not been able to find out the reason for the assassination of the five holy envoys in the first place, and they have never issued such an order, even if they know that the five holy envoys are all dead in the hands of the five holy envoys, they will not take any retaliatory action. The White Lotus Sect has a more important mission, and the key to their survival lies in their proper prioritization.

The officials of the imperial court had killed many members of the White Lotus Sect, and if they wanted to carry out assassination activities, they would have done it a long time ago, but they did not hate these officials, they understood that it was only their duty for these officials to kill the followers of the White Lotus Sect, and the most fundamental problem lay with the imperial court.

"Please be aware of the young patriarch, our people will never mess around, I am sure of that. This is not our man's doing. The saint added anxiously.

She and the Great Elder have been living here for some days, and although their lives are good, they never have the same delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and their daily life is even more considerate, but they don't mention the negotiation at all, as if they have come to visit them on a special trip.

Once the Great Elder saw the old patriarch, if he talked about the negotiation intentionally or unintentionally, the old patriarch smiled and told Xiao Yanfeng not to worry, saying that they were working with several families to find a way to persuade the imperial court to resume negotiations, in that case, everything would be easier to solve.

After Xiao Yanfeng came back, he sighed for a long time, knowing that this old fox was too cunning, and he clearly wanted to overwhelm the bottom line of their negotiation conditions.

Xiao Yanfeng can barely sit still, but the saint is not, no matter how thoughtful the powerful family is to them, she still has a feeling of being under house arrest, and she is worried about being betrayed every day.

Now the young patriarch, who rarely showed up, came to visit in person, and put pressure on him with a matter of nonsense, knowing that this was not a prelude to putting the blame on them, forcing them to submit or even turn around and sell them to the imperial court.

Thinking of this, the Holy Maiden couldn't help but feel upset no matter how skillful she cultivated the Pure Heart Technique, so she fought back on the spot.

"Your Highness, it is not empty words, many of your dens have been found, and there are even a large number of hoarded weapons. Originally, there were many people in the court who supported direct dialogue with you and reached a peace agreement as soon as possible, but as soon as this incident came out, the whole situation was disrupted. The young patriarch said coldly, and his eyes were also on fire.

After he learned of the White Lotus Sect's attack on Jinyiwei, he was indeed so angry that even his father, the old patriarch, agreed with him to ask for an explanation.

They unanimously agreed that Xiao Yanfeng and others couldn't bear the loneliness and deliberately looked for a breakthrough to put pressure on them through this matter.

It makes sense to think like this, taking in Xiao Yanfeng and his party, they were already at the risk of extermination, if the people of the White Lotus Sect made a big disturbance in the city, the court's pursuit would inevitably be strengthened. In this way, in order to get rid of the danger brought by Xiao Yanfeng and his party as soon as possible, the only way is to negotiate as soon as possible, and the conditions will of course be much relaxed.

A seemingly nonsensical thing caused a misunderstanding between the two parties, and they both thought that the other party was making trouble and putting pressure on them.

"Young Patriarch, do you think we look like fools?" Xiao Yanfeng carefully read those reports twice, and then said with a great rage.

"How could the Great Elder ask that?"

"Can't you understand it yourself? Don't say that it wasn't our people who did it, or ours, who could do such a stupid thing, more than 20 people went to attack the convoy of more than 500 people in Jinyiwei, didn't they die in vain? How stupid does this man have to be? And as mentioned above, those people were basically not aggressive, and they all committed suicide by taking poison. Are we people tired and stupid of suicide as a way to attack each other? Xiao Yanfeng's face turned purple with anger, and he slapped the table and said.

This is the first time he has slapped the table since he entered this family, although he is a person in the rivers and lakes, he likes to fight and kill, but he can still calm down and calm down in major matters. Now he was really enraged and had a feeling of being teased.

"yes, I'm at a loss, but the report says that your people have escaped from the tunnels." The young patriarch said.

"Since there is an escape tunnel, why do you want to leave people, if it can play a role in breaking off, but they all committed suicide, does this make sense?" Xiao Yanfeng was so angry that his beard was cocked.

"But......" The young patriarch only said but, the rest of the words are not easy to say.

What he means is, aren't your parishioners the most self-sacrificing, and besides your religion, you can't find so many people to use for martyrdom, isn't this your means?

Of course, this kind of thing was a bit offensive to say it in front of Xiao Yanfeng and the holy woman.

"But what? Our people will certainly not hesitate for a second when they should sacrifice their lives for martyrdom, don't you Confucian disciples also preach killing and becoming benevolent every day? Is it because of this that you Confucian disciples did this? Xiao Yanfeng sneered.

The young patriarch smiled bitterly, and secretly said in his heart: That's just a slogan, whoever is idle and has nothing to do is kill and become benevolent, what kind of benevolence is achieved, for whom is benevolent, the saints have been dead for more than a thousand years, who would inexplicably commit suicide for the sake of a slogan of the saint.

But the White Lotus Sect is different, the people of the White Lotus Sect will really commit suicide for the words of the sect leader or the holy woman, and they have no complaints, and they die extremely heroically.

The young patriarch and his father originally felt that the report was full of various contradictions, and finally because of the details of the suicide by poisoning, they determined that it was the people of the White Lotus Sect who committed it, which was their consistent behavior.

"Great Elder, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, you should investigate it carefully, this matter is very strange, could it be that the people below you did it on their own initiative." The young patriarch's tone softened.

In these days, he also knows very well that the characters of the two people in front of him are the kind of people who cherish their reputation and do not hesitate to pay for their lives, and there is no reason or need to tell lies.

"We'll find out, but no matter how we look into it, it's certain that it wasn't our people. This religion has everything, but there are not so many fools. Xiao Yanfeng said coldly.

The young patriarch smiled gently, and then retired.

After the young patriarch left, Xiao Yanfeng's face changed, no longer filled with righteous indignation, but uncertain.

The holy woman said angrily: "Great Elder, what do they mean, they made up such a clumsy story to put pressure on us, thinking that we are easy to deceive!" ”

Xiao Yanfeng sighed: "This incident can't be made up by them, it must have really happened." ”

"However, no one is so stupid, more than 20 people dare to ambush the convoy of more than 500 Jinyi Guards, and they really think they are the guards of the Great Interior."

"Because of this, it can be true, if it is arranged or faked, there will be few flaws, but this matter is strange inside and out, and it is impossible to explain clearly." Xiao Yanfeng smiled bitterly.

"That can't really be the case with the people below us, right?"

Hearing Xiao Yanfeng say this, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden was also a little flustered, after all, she was not familiar with the affairs of the sect.

"There is no such possibility, who would dare to hide from us and make their own claims. Maybe...... Could it be Rosie? Xiao Yanfeng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong with Devil Luo?"

"Besides, I went to see Rosie first, and then I went to that street without knowing anything, and without saying a word, I sent someone to search every store, and we won't be cheated by Luo Devils again, right?" Xiao Yanfeng's face turned a little green at this time.

The shadow area of the pit last time was too large, and he couldn't get rid of the haze in his heart for many years.

"But...... Didn't Luo Guizi want to cooperate with us? How could such a thing still be done? The saint was also stunned.

Soon after the saint arrived in the capital, she was found by Rosie, and it was also his idea to cooperate with the White Lotus Sect, so why did she turn around and come to trap them?

"It's hard to say, but I found that no matter what, as long as there is the shadow of Luo Devil, we will be unlucky." Xiao Yanfeng shook his head and closed his eyes.

The saint's heart was completely confused, and she was speechless for a while, looking up and sighing.

"Luo Devil, don't let me find out that you did it, otherwise even if you are in the capital, Lao Tzu will destroy you." Xiao Yanfeng finally showed a hideous face, his heart became more and more unscored, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was cheated by Rosie again.

"Great Elder, if you don't kid up Devil Luo quietly, you will know after an interrogation." A subordinate bowed.

Xiao Yanfeng was furious: "I just said that there are no fools in this sect, why did this come out, can Luo Devil be tied up casually?" Can you do it? ”

The man was so frightened that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, of course he knew that he didn't have that ability, he just made a reasonable suggestion, and he didn't want to touch Xiao Yanfeng's sore feet.

"Go down." The saint waved her hand and hurriedly let these people go away, Xiao Yanfeng was angry and couldn't get out, if he got angry, he could do something to kill people.

"Rosie, you bastard. If you dare to do anything bad about Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will chase you to the underworld, and he must skin you alive. Xiao Yanfeng suddenly roared out like a wounded beast.

The saintess sighed, and also turned around and walked away, she was not afraid that Xiao Yanfeng would kill him, but she didn't want to see her respected predecessor lose his temper.
