Chapter 139: A Different Feeling
Yi Xingchen was really surprised, and thought to himself, didn't he say that this governor was short-tempered, and there were few officials around him who were not scolded? Unexpectedly, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy Zongqi, he actually got off the carriage to meet him, and his tone was very affectionate, much to Yi Xingchen's expectations, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Lord Governor for your praise." ”
Governor Li said: "Mr. Yi must be a little strange, how could this official know your name, right?" Actually, this official didn't know before he came down, a few days ago, when he talked to your Duan Qianhu in your Jinyi Wei Qianhu, he was full of praise for you, saying that you made such a battle feat at a young age, and killed three White Lotus Church masters in a row, this battle feats are unmatched. What is even more rare is that you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and your future is limitless. At the time, I didn't believe it very much, but when I heard Duan Qianhu say it so accurately, I believed it. Everyone says that I am a tiger, that I am short-tempered and loves to train people, but in fact they don't know that I am training people who do not learn and have no skills to shoot horses. In fact, this official is very talented, and he admires the real man who dares to go forward bravely, dare to charge into battle, and dare to fight to the death. If the battle of killing the three White Lotus Sect Masters was done by other adult brocade guards, I wouldn't be so impressed. It is rare that you have such courage and courage at such a young age, so this official takes you very seriously, and specially got out of the car to meet you, just to express his respect for you. ”
Yi Xingchen was a little dumbfounded, because he had calculated a hexagram before he came, one of which seemed to be a murderer, and he thought that he would definitely be reprimanded and scolded, but he didn't expect that it was just the opposite, this Governor Li not only did not reprimand himself, but was respectful to himself. And it's so heavy, it's really a feeling of overjoy.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Don't dare." Thank you Governor for the compliment. ”
Governor Li nodded: "I'm very happy that you brought troops to escort me today, so let's do it, you ride a horse and follow my car, we can talk about it, to solve the boredom on the road, I also want to hear it by the way." What do you think about how to deal with the White Lotus Sect? ”
Yi Xingchen hurriedly agreed, and ordered Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua to lead twenty-five brocade guards to escort the front and rear respectively, while he rode a horse. Carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, he followed Governor Li's carriage. Governor Li raised the curtain of the car, talked to him through the window, and the group continued to move forward.
Governor Li asked some basic information about Yi Xingchen. Then he asked him how he killed the hall masters. Yi Xingchen had already thought about how to answer this in his heart. Because, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he doesn't know martial arts, so he can't say that he killed him, so he made up a story, saying that he has a good friend in the rivers and lakes, who is strong in martial arts, and he got the tip. Tell him that it's up to him to sneak in the assassination. Cut off the head. As for the source of the clues, there is no need to say that the other party generally does not ask, and they all know the safety of the rules.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Governor Li nodded frequently, smiled and said: "I still had some doubts before, as far as I know, the hall masters of the White Lotus Sect are all martial arts, you are only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, it is difficult to win, maybe you used poisoning or something, or maybe someone helped you." Now you take the initiative to be honest, there is someone to help, and it is exactly as this government thinks. This shows that you are still a very honest person. As a young man, I do not exaggerate, and I am honest and frank, and I am a rare superior character. On the other hand, maybe it's okay, I also think you should be a very blessed person, because I have been fighting with the White Lotus Sect for many years, and I know that the White Lotus Sect is very hidden, and their organization is very tight, you can kill the three of them in a row, if there is no luck, it is not easy to say. Of course, this kind of luck is not available to everyone, it can be seen that you are a blessed general, don't live up to God's favor for you, serve the court, share worries for the emperor, and naturally your benefits are indispensable. ”
Yi Xingchen hurriedly said yes.
Governor Li then asked: "Although the White Lotus Sect has been wiped out by our army, it is still rampant in various places, especially in the Jinzhou area, harassing the townships, preying on the common people, and even killing officials and rebelling. The local efforts to suppress the White Lotus Sect were not enough, which caused such an uncontrollable situation. You have experience in dealing with the White Lotus Sect, although you are young, but you should have your own opinions, I want to hear how to deal with the White Lotus Sect in Golden State? ”
The people who can be next to Governor Li's carriage are his close confidants, and there is no problem of eavesdropping in ancient times, so Governor Li can rest assured and boldly ask you Yi Xingchen's opinion on this matter in the carriage.
Yi Xingchen really hadn't thought about such a big-picture problem, and besides, he still had a somewhat good impression of the Maitreya Sect in the White Lotus Sect, so he didn't think about how to exterminate them. However, he is very disgusted with the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, but the imperial court has not yet banned it, but what the Heavenly Tribulation Sect has done cannot but make people vigilant, since this Governor Li is specifically dealing with the White Lotus Sect, presumably he and the White Lotus Sect should not have much good impression of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect.
The teachings of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect and the Maitreya Sect are almost the same, but one has been banned and the other has not been banned, plus Yi Xingchen calculated a hexagram before, and he guarded the governor himself, and the result was a good fortune, so if he directly said his opinion on the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, he should not invite trouble, which is shown by the hexagram. So he decided to put his mind on the talk.
Yi Xingchen rode his horse close to the carriage, lowered his voice and said: "Lord Governor, as far as I can see, the Maitreya Sect has been banned by the imperial court, and besides, most of it has been wiped out by our army, so it should be impossible to become a climate again. On the contrary, it is the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, their teachings are the same as those of the White Lotus Sect, and their tentacles have touched all aspects of the imperial court. However, the Heavenly Tribulation Sect did not appreciate the emperor's grace, but instead committed many heinous evil deeds. In order to expose the evil deeds of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, they were almost killed by them, so the Humble Duty has a deep feeling for the true face of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect. ”
Governor Li looked at Yi Xingchen sideways, lowered his voice and said, "What's going on?" Duan Qianhu didn't mention this matter to me. ”
As a result, Yi Xingchen explored the Yunshan Temple, was discovered by the Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples, and threw him into the cave, and then found the corpses of hundreds of so-called immortal beings who were killed by the Heavenly Tribulation Sect and thrown into the cave. This case has been reported to the imperial court, of course Governor Li knows, but he doesn't know that this matter was exposed by a Jinyi guard, let alone Yi Xingchen. I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this.
Governor Li said: "I have heard about this matter in the DPRK, and because of this, the DPRK and the DPRK are still hotly debating whether to ban the Heavenly Tribulation Sect in this regard. However, many people strongly advocated that this was the behavior of individual members of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and not the crime of the entire Heavenly Tribulation Sect. So in the end, I just pursued the members of the Taoist temple of Yunshan Temple, and I was against this opinion at that time. I think this has shown that the Heavenly Tribulation Sect is illegally accumulating wealth, harming the people, plotting against the people, and having ill intentions. Hearing you say that now makes me even more convinced of this idea. It's just that, then again, if you want to completely expose the true face of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, this matter alone is not enough, because the two national teachers of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect are extremely favored by the emperor's side, and they have said a lot of good things about the Heavenly Tribulation Sect. Although the Emperor has doubts about the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, he is not going to attack it yet, and we need to collect more before we can reveal his true colors. ”
When Yi Xingchen heard Governor Li say this, he was overjoyed, and sure enough, as he guessed, Governor Li was also against the Heavenly Tribulation Sect.
Yi Xingchen said: "Actually, there are two groups of White Lotus Sect disciples who kidnapped the Emperor's Xiunu last time, one is the Maitreya Sect, and the other is the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and they also participated in the robbery of the Emperor's Embroidered Girl. Moreover, they wanted to transfer these show girls to their sect leader to cultivate the elixir of life. This incident is enough to explain their wolf ambitions, but unfortunately they were not reported at the time, because those Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples had already colluded to confess, and almost all of them confessed that they were members of the Maitreya Sect. Actually, I knew that they were from the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, because I was there at the time. ”
Governor Li didn't know about this matter, and was very surprised: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yi Xingchen told what had happened.
Governor Li listened very carefully, kept nodding, and when he finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "So, you have witnessed that both the Heavenly Tribulation Sect and the White Lotus Sect are involved in this matter?" ”
"Yes, not only me, but also two of my subordinates, as well as Zhu Zhixian. However, these Heavenly Tribulation Sect followers are very cunning and have already colluded to confess. ”
Governor Li nodded and said, "What you said confirms some of my guesses, in fact, in Jinzhou, where I am going to inspect this time, there are many things involving the White Lotus Sect in the local area, and a considerable part of them are done by the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, but I have not obtained real evidence. One of the purposes of my visit is to get to the bottom of the matter. I heard these two things from you again today, which further confirmed the news I got and the speculation in my heart. ”
As soon as he said this, their convoy passed by several houses on the side of the road, and Yi Xingchen saw the scene under the eaves of a family, which shocked his heart.
I saw a swallow's nest under the eaves of that tiled house, and the two swallows were flying up and down outside, chirping and chirping, and the sound was very desolate.
As he moved forward, he could see more and more clearly, and when he passed under the eaves, Yi Xingchen finally saw what was going on, and couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that there was a snake in the swallow's nest, which was devouring a small bird's nest, and most of it had been swallowed, no wonder the two swallows refused to return to the nest.
It's a scene that is hard to see in ordinary times. "Vision divination" means that when you see something unusual, you should make a divination to see if there is any leakage of heavenly secrets. Therefore, Yi Xingchen immediately made a divination. -- I saw a swallow and a snake. In the eight trigrams, the swallow belongs to the bird that is good at chirping, so it is attributed to the shock hexagram in the eight trigrams, and the snake also belongs to the shock hexagram, so the upper and lower hexagrams are all shock hexagrams, which is called the shock for the thunder hexagram.
This hexagram immediately flashed in his mind, and the top one, the upper six, was constantly flashing. It is suggested that he should think about the good and evil from the content of this hexagram in the Book of Changes. (To be continued......)
