Chapter 14: The Number of Gases
The two young Taoists wandered around the city, during which they had seen Qin Feng twice from afar, but this kind of family son who traveled with maids and guards was very ordinary. They didn't pay much attention to their limited and uncertain minds.
After a while, the two brothers found a clean restaurant, went up to the second floor and chose a table by the window, ordered a few dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and chatted while eating.
“…… The impact of this incident in Jingnan County is too great. Shaoqing, the older Taoist sighed lightly.
"Senior Brother Qinglin, even if Zhao Yuanjin is lucky not to die this time, it is just a remnant, just a county town, plus thousands of remnants. What can he do if he wants food but not food, and if he wants no pay? The Taoist on the other side asked puzzledly.
In his opinion, this Zhao Yuanjin has lost the opportunity to take advantage of the situation again, and has been completely beaten back to its original shape, and the best result in the future is just to find a big prince to take refuge and get an official and a half-position. A comeback? That's not even a thought about it.
To rebel and fight for the world, what is fought is the territory of resources, and what is fought is manpower and material resources. A newly defeated small prince, the local slightly wiser family will not continue to invest in him, without the secret support of these gentry class, what will he Zhao Yuan do to recruit troops and grab land?
"Senior Brother Qingyuan, you can't say that."
Qinglin Daoren shook his head, and said: "You know that the master has made a choice as early as two years ago, looking at the whole world, there are more than ten princes of all sizes who have the weather of the hidden dragon. And the master is from the land of Huaiyang Wu Zhence, now has four counties, more than 60,000 troops, as long as one or two more counties of territory, can immediately become a dragon, self-proclaimed king is not a problem. ”
"Luo Jing's first assistant Zhang Minxin's intention was to send Meng Luo to sweep away all the princes in Jingzhou, and then join up with several other imperial soldiers and horses to besiege Wu Zhence, but unfortunately this general Xingxing accidentally fell under the city of Jingnan County, causing the elite of the imperial court to lose their backbone and lose the opportunity to quickly quell the rebellion in Jingzhou......"
With that, he took a sip from his teacup to moisten his throat.
Qingyuan Daoist took the opportunity to say: "I heard that Zhang Minzhen has asked his righteous son Feng Qingyun to lead his troops from Gyeonggi, intending to take over the important task of counterinsurgency in Jingzhou, as long as he arrives, the princes in Jingzhou still can't hide, right?" ”
Qinglin Daoren shook his head slightly: "It stands to reason that this is the case, but how did Meng Luo die?" No one can understand what the consequences will be if this Feng Qingyun dies in the hands of Zhao Yuanjin again? ”
"This ......" Qingyuan Daoren's face changed, and he finally understood the crux of the problem.
No matter how unpopular Zhao Yuanjin is now, just because he has the terrible means to kill the generals in the army, it is impossible for people to ignore his existence. This was true on the part of the court, and it was true for the other princes.
"Could it be that someone superior is secretly helping him? But it doesn't make sense, does it? Monks cannot interfere with the evolution of humanity in the world at will, and those who violate it will be punished by heaven, even several elders of the highest rank and the most profound cultivation will not dare to do this act against the heavens, who will be willing to risk the consequences of death to help him? "Qingyuan Daoist people can't figure it out.
can kill the general in the arch of the army, and it is a very powerful court general, no matter how skilled the martial artist is, he is not too sure. Unless it is the power of monks who have broken through the shackles of human immortals, they also have to pay the price of death, and there is no means to escape the curse.
Therefore, in the last years of the dynasty, many Taoist sects have always dared to only send low-strength juniors into the WTO, and choose potential princes to assist and support, and seek some benefits for their teachers by this indirect means.
Once the selected princes are fortunate enough to sweep the world and Jianyuan become emperor, the Daomen who participate in the support can share a lot of luck in the new dynasty, which can benefit the elders of the division and protect the descendants of the younger generations.
As for the transcendent existence that breaks the shackles of human immortals and has the ability to manifest supernatural powers, not to mention small and medium-sized sects, even among those famous sects, not every family has them. Such a character has been cultivating and suppressing qi in the mountain gate for many years, not only is it impossible to interfere in the world's mundane affairs, but there are very few opportunities to walk out of the mountain.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to expect any Daomen to sacrifice its own core figures and spiritual pillars to accomplish the great cause of a certain prince!
"According to the information collected, when the imperial army retreated that day, the bodies of Meng Luo and those generals and officers had been recovered by Zhao Yuan's order as soon as possible, and then cremated separately, and then properly buried." Qinglin Dao people are deep and authentic.
Qingyuan Daoist was silent, this practice appeared to respect the deceased on the surface, but in fact, it was to destroy the evidence as soon as possible, so that others had no way to figure out what means Zhao Yuanjin used to kill them.
It seems that Zhao Yuanjin also understands that this kind of method is very important, and it cannot be leaked until idle. But didn't anyone see it that day? He asked, confused.
Qinglin Daoren sighed: "Maybe there is, maybe not, anyway, our eyeliner has tried our best, and we haven't gotten any useful news so far." It's the same with the Imperial Army. ”
"That'...... What do we do now? Qingyuan Daoist was silent for a while and asked.
"There is no choice but to wait and see." Qinglin Daoren sighed and said.
Both brothers and sisters are in a bit of a heavy mood, if this important issue is not clarified as soon as possible, it will be difficult to judge the future changes in Jingzhou, if Zhao Yuanjin really rises again because of this, even Wu Zhence's great cause will be affected. This is by no means a result that the teacher is happy to see.
Once Wu Zhence's soldiers are defeated and die, not only will all the early investment of the division be wasted in him, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of backlash in terms of qi. Therefore, while the situation is still under control, we should find out the cause of the matter as soon as possible and properly handle it, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the division's plan.
……
Qin Feng returned to the mansion, and it didn't take long for Manager Wang to send ten wild ginseng, as well as a pile of tiger bones and two pairs of bear bile.
It seems that when he was shopping outside, Zhao Cheng had told Zhao Yuanjin the truth.
"The handsome man learned that the prince paid attention to these medicinal materials, and it happened that there was also a collection in the treasury of the mansion, so he specially ordered the small one to be sent over."
The steward said respectfully: "If the prince is satisfied, every month in the future, the manager will buy some separately for the son." ”
Qin Feng was surprised, but he didn't feel too surprised, and after thanking him politely, he asked Zhang Qiuyun to put it all away.
The vintage of these mountain ginseng is naturally not as good as the one bought, but there is still a fire for thirty or forty years, and you can also exchange a lot of money for your own world.
