Chapter 188: Holy Monk
Sun Zhenqian is quite dependent on this unfathomable military advisor, and he can't do it if he doesn't rely on it, his brothers are a group of reckless men, and it's okay to kill those corrupt officials with knives, but the future of the bargaining chip rebel army has no brains.
Only this military advisor can give him advice, plus the military advisor is a member of the White Lotus Sect, and relying on the White Lotus Sect can stabilize the rebel army.
Fei Taiqing has always looked down on this Sun Zhenqian, even if he took thousands of refugees to kill corrupt officials and occupy the city, but in the final analysis, he is still a reckless man, a bit of a brain, and he is not a hero who can achieve great things.
"The military division, the rebel army are counting on food for the winter, if there is no food, Cangzhou is afraid to die, fortunately, the military division is strategizing, in order to solve the great disaster in Cangzhou! The people of Cangzhou knew that the military advisors had worked hard to plan for them, and they could be grateful to Dade. ”
After listening to Sun Zhenqian's words, Fei Taiqing nodded, and his mood suddenly improved.
"The general praised it falsely, if it weren't for the general who led people to kill corrupt officials, Cangzhou would still be in deep water, and it would be difficult for the people to survive."
The two boasted to each other for a while, and Fei Taiqing said goodbye and left, returning to his courtyard.
Fei Taiqing looked around and made sure that no one was following him, so he walked into the room, and when he saw the monk in a monk's robe sitting on the futon, he immediately had a courteous expression, and he did not have the arrogance just now.
"Enlightened Holy Monk."
The two of them are both protectors of the White Lotus Sect, but in terms of status, Mingda is the left envoy, since ancient times, the left is respected, and the right is second, plus it is rumored that the Mingda holy monk is the royal blood of the previous dynasty, and the status is naturally above him, plus this visit is really something to ask for, Fei Taiqing has to bow his head if he doesn't want to bow his head.
"Hmm." Mingda nodded coldly.
Slowly put away the rosary and asked, "Is there something wrong with Fei You?" ”
He didn't want to see Fei Taiqing, the same Fei Taiqing was not close to him, since Fei Taiqing became the protector of the law, he was very hostile to him, this trip to Cangzhou, it was his business, but Fei Taiqing took the lead.
"Can the holy monk dismiss his servants?"
Mingda put down the rosary, opened his eyes and looked at Fei Taiqing with burning eyes, and finally ordered the attendant to retreat.
He doesn't look down on Fei Taiqing, who is treacherous, cunning and mercenary, and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, but he knows that this is not the time to fight for your superiority and my inferiority, and he is not ignorant of the severity.
Fei Taiqing must have something to do when he came to the door, looking at his expression, he hesitated, obviously encountered something.
If it was Fei Taiqing's own business, Mingda could not care, but when it came to the White Lotus Sect, Mingda would naturally attach a few points of importance to it, lest Fei Taiqing die by himself and affect the White Lotus Sect.
The two attendants glanced at each other, unable to determine whether Fei Taiqing would be unfavorable to their master, and finally bowed their heads and retreated at Mingda's signal, and after a slight sound of footsteps, the two retreated to the door, leaving only Mingda and Fei Taiqing in the room.
"People have retreated, and Fei You's envoy will say anything directly."
Fei Taiqing didn't speak, but took out a letter from his bosom and put it in front of Mingda, "Look at it, this is the news from a hall master under my hand, I'm afraid things have changed." ”
Mingda frowned slightly and glanced at him, opened the envelope in person, read it through from beginning to end, and suddenly his expression changed slightly, "Northern Qi County is occupied by the second prince?" The news has just come out? ”
Fei Taiqing's face was ugly, Cangzhou was already in his hands, and several county towns had been arranged, just waiting for the second prince to throw himself into the net, but he didn't expect that the second prince would turn defeat into victory.
That's it, Beiqi County is only a mountain away from Xuzhou, and it is unrealistic to completely control it, he is mentally prepared to lose Beiqi County first.
But what made him angry was that the news came to him so late.
After Fei Taiqing took a deep breath, he barely calmed down before he said: "The second prince came prepared, and he failed to intercept and kill many times, but he also let the second prince occupy a county. ”
"Help? I can't help. ”
He has been seized by Fei Taiqing, and with serious injuries, he can only be trapped in the Burrow.
"Holy monk, I know that you are annoyed that I am acting on my behalf, but the Cangzhou refugees did not treat people when they rebelled, you were seriously injured, I naturally wanted to help, you and I are both protectors of the White Lotus Sect, and we should watch and help each other." Fei Tai was so clear that he couldn't hold his breath and couldn't hide his words.
A little anxious, he said, "If the Holy Monk can help, the Deputy Sect Master will definitely be pleased!" ”
The reason why he competed with Mingda was because the two people had different factions, the White Lotus Sect was spread all over the four countries, Mingda was raised by the sect leader himself, so he was naturally close to the sect leader, and he was the deputy sect leader.
The head of the sect retreats and does not ask about the affairs of the world, and the power falls on the deputy head of the sect, but before the retreat, the head of the sect divides the power in his hand into two, part to the mysterious Son, and part to Mingda.
Fei Taiqing knew that the opportunity of the Cangzhou rebellion was rare, if Mingda was allowed to control Cangzhou, then the deputy sect leader would have no hope of sitting in that position at all, so he followed the Ming Dynasty to Cangzhou, and took advantage of the time when Mingda was fighting with the little marquis sent by the imperial court, and secretly made a move, so that the two people were seriously injured, and he got the opportunity.
Mingda sighed and didn't answer, but read the letter again, frowning more and more.
"I need to think about it."
"Holy monk! There is no time! The relief food sent from the capital was all detained in Beiqi County, and the big nobleman in Mobei obviously promised us to send beef and mutton did not materialize, and now there is nothing to eat in the city. ”
"That's it!" Mingda's face showed a little impatience, he twisted the Buddha beads, and said in a cold tone: "I will help if I can, but I can't help it." ”
With Fei Taiqing's mind, it is impossible to occupy a place in the intricate Cangzhou, if it were not for his serious injuries and not recovering, it would not have caused the current situation.
"Holy monk, please also contact the great nobleman in Mobei, if there is no meat, it will be difficult for the more than 10,000 rebels to spend the winter." Fei Taiqing was worried.
The refugees couldn't survive anymore, so they revolted, but the landlords and rich merchants in the city had almost eaten all the food they had saved, and even if they were empty, they could only eat for a month.
"I see." Mingda became more and more impatient, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them belonged to the White Lotus Sect, he would have driven Fei Taiqing out a long time ago, and he didn't have that diamond to do porcelain work, and now he burned his eyebrows, and he knew that he would come to him to wipe his buttocks.
"Thank you so much, Holy Monk." Fei Taiqing understood the look in his eyes, hurriedly got up and saluted, and immediately said goodbye and left, he didn't want to make this holy monk angry, after all, don't look at Mingda's noble and holy appearance, but in fact, he kills people without blinking.
The string of prayer beads in his hand is not for chanting sutras and understanding the Dharma, but for restraining the desire to kill.
Mingda lowered his eyes, a little cinnabar between his eyebrows was bewitching, and his body exuded an aura of asceticism, but the faint smell of blood showed that this holy monk was not a monk who was empty.
The attendant guarding the door cautiously entered the room after Fei Taiqing left, without the slightest sound under his feet, and his breath was unusually stable, obviously not an ordinary person.
"Holy Monk."
A servant lifted the lid of the incense burner, and although it was not lit, a wisp of warm incense wafted from the hearth, and the faint scent of sandalwood lingered in the room, which made people feel calm.
The attendant hurriedly took out the new incense, and after lighting the incense burner, the colorless cigarette smoke rose and filled the entire room in an instant.
The cinnabar mole in the center of Mingda's eyebrows dimmed a little, and he suppressed the desire to kill in his heart before he spoke lightly.
"Did I ask you to look into the matter?"
"Gu Jinshu's whereabouts have not been found." The servant frowned, his face was a little nervous, Gu Jinshu was seriously injured, was there any power in Cangzhou City, how could he hide his whereabouts so that they could not find a clue.
Mingda smiled at the corner of his lips, his slender fingers played with the rosary, and every time the rosewood rosary rolled, his mind stabilized, and he said lightly: "Gu Jinshu...... In the end, he will become a big trouble, he must be found, and he will see people in life and corpses in death. ”
"The Gaoxin tribe has rebelled, and they should be given a little color."
However, compared to the beef and mutton promised by the Gaoxin tribe in Mobei, Mingda is more concerned about Gu Jinshu's whereabouts, Xungui is from a background and has martial arts comparable to him, he has a hunch that this person will become his enemy sooner or later.
Jiang Yuanliu didn't know that someone was as desperate as she was looking for Gu Jinshu's whereabouts, she was inciting refugees at this time, don't look at the number of a thousand refugees, but the three of them became tigers, and everyone was gold.
As long as Sun Zhenqian still wants to be the leader of the rebel army, he must estimate the hearts of the people!
Jiang Yuanliu's disguise was cautious, and no one could see that there were beautiful faces hidden under the withered appearance, and they were all infected by Jiang Yuanliu's words, and they all cried about their misfortune.
The city was occupied by the rebels, and the guards were also refugees, who were well fed and drunk in the city, dressed neatly and thickly, and hid in the city walls to keep warm, while their compatriots were starving and cold.
"Look at this weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow, a heavy snow and I don't know how many brothers will die quietly, the lives of our group of untouchables are not worth much, I beg General Sun for mercy, for the sake of us all Cangzhou people, let us in."
Yi Xiucheng was hoarse and very pitiful.
A weak refugee who could only lie on the ground suddenly shouted at the man guarding the door: "Sanwazi, I am your uncle!" ”
When the man guarding the door heard the sound, his eyes immediately turned red, and he pounced directly, "Uncle? You really are my uncle! It's great that you're not dead, where is my dad? ”
"Your father...... Your father and your mother were so hungry that they ate Guanyin soil, and the boss with a swollen stomach couldn't make a feces and suffocated to death. The old man was full of tears, and his thin hand was stretched out like a dry corpse, trembling and wanting to touch his nephew in front of him.
"Three babies, I'm hungry ......"
"Uncle, wait, I'll take you to eat bean rice now, and I'll go ...... now" The third baby wiped her tears in pain.
