705 concubines
"Squeak!"
The back door closed again when Sanvipa wasn't looking.
A mocking sneer appeared on the face of the young general surnamed Hu, and he pursed his lips disapprovingly, and whispered to himself: "It's just such a snack machine, I really thought it could be done!" ”
This square is full of their people, and if in this case, they will let someone with a heart poison the entrance of the sealed flame, it would be too underestimate them!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Feng Yan is really hit by accident, they are still guarding here, and Sang Weipa can't think of succeeding!
The eyes of the young general surnamed Hu flashed with a sharp light, and he turned around and ordered the soldiers guarding the door: "You guys take a good look, I'll go back to Gongzi." ”
Those soldiers clenched their fists and took orders, "Don't worry, Captain Hu, leave it to us here, don't even think of flying out of a mosquito!" ”
Captain Hu glanced at the closed back door again, and with a long knife in one hand, he walked quickly to the platform in the center of the square.
At this moment, there was still silence in the central square, and everyone looked in the direction of the temple, waiting for the holy woman.
Captain Hu walked straight to Feng Yan's side, leaned over, lowered his voice and told Feng Yan about Sang Weipa's entry into the temple through the back door.
Luo Qifang on the side also heard it, hooked his lips mockingly, and sighed: "A barbarian is a barbarian!" ”
Even if Luo Qifang was not present, he could roughly guess the cause and effect of the incident from the previous clues and Captain Hu's announcement at this moment.
Whether it's Dasheng or Nanhuai, there are such people everywhere, and they are extremely dirty!
Luo Qifang raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the temple, his eyes were cold, and the white walls were a little dazzling under the reflection of the sunlight.
Of course, Feng Yan also figured it out, and stood up directly from the throne without saying a word.
"Let's go." Feng Yan casually raised his hand to dust off his robe, raised his leg and walked forward.
Luo Qifang and other cronies also followed him like a shadow.
Of course, the Great Elder saw that Feng Yan was about to leave, his brows furrowed again, and his eyes were bright and dark, and anger was surging.
This time, the Great Elder couldn't bear it any longer, and walked towards Feng Yan quickly, just blocking Feng Yan's way.
"Generalissimo, the blessing ceremony is not over yet!" The Great Elder looked at Feng Yan a few steps away with dissatisfaction and reminded.
Where the eyes of the two met, the fire shone brightly.
Of course, the other Nanhuai courtiers and nobles and ordinary people below the platform also saw this scene, and they were in an uproar for a while, whispering nonsense.
In the history of Nanhuai, there have been so many monarchs, and no one has ever left without permission before the blessing ceremony is over.
This is too contemptuous, too deceitful!
The people who came to the ceremony were noisy like a pot of hot water about to boil, and an impetuous atmosphere filled the air.
Feng Yan stood with his hands in his hands, calmly and calmly looked at the Great Elder, his beautiful phoenix eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he said loudly: "I respect the religious habits here, so I came to participate in today's ceremony." ”
"Come and don't be rude, Great Elder, you should also respect the customs of the Central Plains, and enjoy the customs of the Central Plains during the day, and enjoy the grandchildren together, this kind of thing...... We really can't accept it. ”
Feng Yan shook his head in a matter-of-fact manner, sighed, and then walked past the Great Elder and walked away.
The Great Elder was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know what Feng Yan was talking about.
At this time, he didn't care to think about it anymore, and shouted again: "Generalissimo......"
The Great Elder was anxious to stop Feng Yan, if Feng Yan left now, then today's blessing ceremony would be a joke, what would the people here think of the Holy Fire Sect in the future?!
Moreover, their purpose of making friends with the new lord through the blessing ceremony was also in vain.
Next time, what kind of excuse should they use to get close to Feng Yan without lowering their status?!
The Great Elder turned around and wanted to chase after Feng Yan, but in the next moment, two crossed scabbards were strongly blocking in front of him.
"The Great Elder stays."
Captain Hu looked at the Great Elder with a smile and said with a smile, and the Great Elder couldn't help but shiver when he saw that cold eyes, and his whole body was cold.
The Great Elder suddenly realized that these Dasheng people had used force to defeat them, even the young general in front of him, who seemed to be no more than twenty years old, had experienced life and death tempering on the battlefield, walked out alive from the sea of corpses, and won his current status with his military exploits!
Not to mention sealing the flames!
The Great Elder looked straight at the back of Feng Yan leaving, his body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't dare to go any further, the golden sunlight in the sky pierced straight towards his eyes, stabbing his eyes painfully.
The back of the young man a few steps ahead is long and straight, like a pine and cypress, and like a long sword out of the sheath, and there is an inexplicable nobility in the steps of the leisurely stroll, which is as high as the bright sun in the sky is untouchable.
The Great Elder felt a chill in his heart, and an inexplicable chill spread rapidly to all his limbs.
It was not until this moment that he profoundly realized that Dahuai was no longer Dahuai, but "Huaizhou".
Military power is greater than everything, Feng Yan is the marshal of the Dasheng Army, and the new lord of Huaizhou, if he dares to move, Feng Yan can make the blood flow here.
He was wrong. They were all wrong. The Great Elder said to himself in his heart.
Originally, they saw that after Feng Yan surrendered to King Huai, his policy towards Dahuai had always been relatively lenient, and there was no massacre, nor did he burn the city, unlike in the previous exchange of regimes, which was always accompanied by endless killings.
Feng Yan's Kuanren made the Great Elder and the others think that he had a good temper for a while, so they planned to give him a dismount at this blessing ceremony and make him recognize their status as the Holy Fire Sect.
Reality poured a bucket of cold water on the Great Elder, Feng Yan's reaction was completely different from what they expected, he seemed to be talking and laughing, but he had his own ideas and principles, he would not be swayed by others, he would not be easily shaken, and he would not be threatened by others.
He is like the lion king of the steppe, with sharp fangs and claws, and whoever dares to disobey will tear it apart!
The Great Elder's mouth opened and closed, and finally no more sound came out.
At this time, Feng Yan in front of him suddenly stopped in front of the steps, and casually ordered: "Captain Hu, since the ancestor and grandson of Sanglaji and the holy daughter are in love, then fulfill them and give them concubines!" ”
Concubinage?! Captain Hu almost didn't laugh, he was amazed by Feng Yan's idea, and solemnly responded with a fist: "Yes, son." ”
After Feng Yan finished giving the order, he stepped on the stone steps and went down, and Luo Qifang and other cronies also left behind him.
The surrounding Nanhuai people were in a commotion even more.
The Great Elder's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he felt that Feng Yan's words were very subtle, and then thought about what Feng Yan said before, and couldn't help but think about it.
The Great Elder turned his head to look in the direction of the temple, his eyes flashed, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the middle-aged disciple immediately leaned over.
"You hurry up and go to the temple to see what's going on......" Before the words fell, the Great Elder felt uneasy again, and changed his mind, "Forget it, I'll go over and see for myself." ”
The Great Elder vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, it stands to reason that it had been so long, and the prayer ceremony should be over, but the Holy Maiden and Sanraj had come out late.
The Great Elder led a group of disciples towards the temple in a menacing manner.
Hu Qiwei and the others did not stop the Great Elder and them, and let them come all the way to the main entrance of the temple.
The door creaked open with a bang, and was pushed open by the two disciples......
One of the disciples was the first to enter the main hall, and after a while, he came back with a subtle expression, and whispered a few words to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's face seemed to have been splashed with ink, and it changed in an instant, and his teeth chattered.
Today is the annual blessing ceremony, it is the most important festival for them, and besides, today is the first sacrifice presided over by the young new lord, which is related to whether their Holy Fire Cult can continue to flourish in the new dynasty.
How dare they !!
The Great Elder only felt that a fire in his heart suddenly rushed straight to his head, burning him to the point that he was completely unreasonable, and rushed directly into it. The rest of the congregation followed.
Several Dasheng soldiers guarding the door of the main hall looked at each other and exchanged meaningful glances with each other. There's a good show to watch!
Soon, there was a woman's terrible scream in the hall, almost toppling the roof, followed by the angry rebuke and rebuttal of several men, mixed with the sound of pushing and smashing things......
The temple was in turmoil.
Captain Hu stood guard outside the main gate, yawning lazily, and let them eat the dog. The more noisy the better!
The people of Nanhuai outside didn't know what was going on, but at least they could tell from the behavior of the Great Elder who led people into the temple that something must have gone wrong with the prayer ceremony.
The people turned their heads one by one, trying to find out what the Great Elder and the Generalissimo of Dasheng had said, and the whole square became more and more commotion......
Feng Yan and his party, who had left the central square, had already returned to the palace.
As soon as Feng Yan arrived outside the palace gate, a young general hurriedly came and said, "Son, General Yan and Master Pei, the political envoy of Qianzhou, have just arrived. ”
Feng Yan had long known that Yan Zhaolin would arrive in Dayue City in the next few days, so he was not surprised, and nodded: "Let them come to the main hall to see me." ”
The young general was ordered to go, and Feng Yan, Luo Qifang and others went straight to the main hall.
After a while, Yan Zhaolin and a middle-aged elegant man in an azure brocade robe came, both of them looked like dust and dust, obviously after arriving, they had not freshened up and rested.
"Childe."
Yan Zhaolin and Master Pei respectfully saluted Feng Yan.
"Sit down and talk." Feng Yan is not a person who sticks to the rules and etiquette, so he let Yan Zhaolin and the others sit down and talk with a smile, and let people serve tea.
After Yan Zhaolin took two sips of tea, he began to get down to business: "Son, the southern border is now temporarily handed over to Liang Sicheng, and the remaining remnants of Nanhuai who are wandering in the southern border are less than one-twelfth of them, and they should be cleaned up in another month or two." ”
Yan Zhaolin's eyes were shining, his whole body was radiant, and the fatigue along the way seemed to be swept away.
He knew that they would usher in victory sooner or later, but when the victory really came, when he was in the Nanhuai Palace at the moment, he still had a feeling of being like a dream.
They really won, they really beat Nanhuai!
Feng Yan smiled slightly and said, "In terms of Huaizhou's internal affairs, I temporarily handed it over to Luo Qifang, and later, I asked him to tell you in detail about the situation here." ”
Luo Qifang stood up and saluted Yan Zhaolin and Master Pei.
"Luo ...... My lord. ”
Yan Zhaolin and Master Pei also returned the salute, and after hesitating for a moment, they did not call Luo Qifang a guest of honor after all.
The two looked at Luo Qifang with subtle expressions, after all, Luo Qifang was the guest of honor of the Jiuhua County Lord, the daughter of the eldest princess of Changqing. Since Feng Yan handed over the internal affairs of Huaizhou to Luo Qifang, he naturally wanted to reuse the other party.
Yan Zhaolin was also used to seeing big scenes, and his eyes quickly took his eyes off Luo Qifang, and his spirit returned to normal. He cleared his throat and asked, "Childe, are you going back to Beijing?" ”
Feng Yan nodded calmly, looking at the blue sky outside the hall, and his phoenix eyes were shining.
He hadn't seen his Zhen Zhen in a long time, and he missed her!
She must have grown taller again.
In half a year, Zhen Zhen will be in time, and he will go back as soon as possible to arrange the most beautiful ceremony for her!
Ah Ci didn't live to the time of the ceremony, this time, he had to accompany her, and he wanted to watch her complete her ceremony.
Feng Yan thought about Duanmu Fei, and accidentally flew out of the sky.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
His words just now had another meaning in the ears of Yan Zhaolin, Master Pei, and several generals present.
Master Pei said approvingly: "Childe, you should hurry back to Beijing, I heard that since the emperor's stroke, the capital has always been presided over by Lord Cen and monopolized power. If you leave for too long, you will inevitably raise people's hearts. ”
Several generals present also nodded frequently when they heard this, and a young general also echoed: "Childe, we are here, you better go back as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, the situation on Nanhuai's side has been decided, and with us guarding it, there will be no big chaos."
Everyone knows that Cen Yin is authoritarian and domineering, cold-blooded and ruthless, continue to let him control the government, let him sit big, and if Feng Yan wants to bring him down in the future, it will only become more and more difficult.
Yan Zhaolin pondered for a moment and cautiously reminded: "Childe, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. ”
Yan Zhaolin knew that the relationship between Feng Yan and Cen Yin was far closer than outsiders knew, but as he said, the heart of guarding against people was indispensable. No matter how close the two are, once it comes to the struggle between rights and interests, it is possible for fathers, sons and brothers to turn their faces, not to mention, Feng Yan and Cen Yin are at most gentlemen's friends.
Feng Yan's expression was cold, and a cold light flashed in his dark pupils, and the cold air overflowed.
Feng Yan's expression changed too obviously, and the other people in the hall immediately felt it, and they were silent in unison, looking at each other.
There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere became oppressive with the silence.
Feng Yan slowly looked around at the people present, his voice was cold, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "I'll only say it once, I don't want to hear anything like that again." ”
Feng Yan's eyes were bright and sharp, just sitting there so casually, but he was like Yue Zhiyuan, with a spirit that looked at the world, which was daunting.
Feng Yan never puts on a stand on weekdays, and he talks and laughs at all his subordinates, it is rare to see him like this, and everyone can't help but be solemn.
Yan Zhaolin and the others hurriedly stood up, clasped their fists at Feng Yan and responded, "Yes, son." ”
Although everyone responded like this, they were actually still a little uneasy in their hearts, and secretly exchanged glances with each other, feeling that Gongzi was too sincere to others.
As the saying goes, knowing people knows faces but doesn't know hearts.
Even if Cen Yin and Feng Yan cooperate with each other for the time being because of their interests now, they will collapse in the future because of their interests. Childe lives by himself, I am afraid that he will suffer.
Thinking about it, but no one mentioned Cen Yin without interest, Yan Zhaolin simply continued to talk about the southern border: "Son, after Li Xining, the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition of Nanhuai was captured alive and temporarily imprisoned in Changxu City. What does Childe think should be done with this Li Xining? ”
Several other soldiers glanced at each other, of course they knew that this Li Xining, who was known as the first fierce general in Nanhuai, was quite prestigious in the original Nanhuai army and among the people.
However, as Dasheng people, these soldiers only have a dislike for Li Xining.
In the past few years, Li Xining led the Nanhuai army to attack the city and the pond in the south, and I don't know how many Dasheng soldiers and people died tragically, and how many families were ruined......
Feng Yan groaned for a moment and said, "Escort people back to the capital." ”
The escort of Li Xining back to the capital was naturally to allow him to be tried as a prisoner of war, and it was expected that according to the laws of Dasheng, he would definitely be sentenced to death.
Let Li Xining accept Dasheng's trial and let him behead him at the noon gate to show the public, which can not only dispel the evil anger in the hearts of Dasheng's people, but also proclaim my country's prestige to the barbarians in all directions, which is the most appropriate way.
Naturally, no one would have any objections to Feng Yan's resolution, and Yan Zhaolin immediately sent a flying pigeon to Changxu City.
After finishing his business, Yan Zhaolin changed his words and said gossipingly: "Childe, when do you plan to leave for Beijing?" When you go back, it's time to get married. "When everything returns to orthodoxy, the son should also get married as soon as possible and continue to have children, if Emperor Chongming has a spirit in the sky, seeing this scene, it is time to rest in peace.
"Just for a few days." Feng Yan was overjoyed when he heard about the wedding, and his handsome eyebrows became more and more radiant, and he felt that Yan Zhaolin was really good at talking. Well, he'll have to think about what kind of specialty he can bring to Zhen Zhen.
Feng Yan was thinking about it, when a young soldier suddenly came in a hurry and said, "Childe, the Great Elder of the Holy Fire Sect asks to see you." ”
Feng Yan came back to his senses, raised his right eyebrow, and could probably guess why the other party came, and lightly spit out two words: "Please." ”
Luo Qifang and the others also just came from the central square, and they also knew it in their hearts, and they couldn't help but show a somewhat meaningful look on their faces.
Yan Zhaolin and Lord Yan didn't know what was going on, they only felt that the expressions of the others were a little subtle, and they couldn't help but be curious.
It was in this strange atmosphere that the Great Elder was led by the soldier from Fang Cai, followed by the middle-aged cultist with a mustache and another female cultist in her fifties.
The three of them walked to the center of the hall and saluted Feng Yan together.
"Generalissimo."
This time, the trio knelt on one knee, resting their right hand on their left chest, and looked down at the ground.
This was the highest etiquette of the Holy Fire Sect, and even during the blessing ceremony, the Great Elder did not salute Feng Yan in this way.
Seeing this, Luo Qifang curled the corners of his lips.
The Great Elder looked up at Cen Yin on the throne in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said politely, "We have specially come to ask the Generalissimo for our guilt!" ”
The Great Elder really hated Sanlaji and Suna to death in his heart, he didn't expect that Sanlaji, a foolish person, would be so bold as to fornicate during prayer, but the person who mingled with him was still a saint, so that the Holy Fire Sect couldn't get anything to do with it.
If it weren't for them, why would he be so groveling to Feng Yan.
Today is the first meeting between the Holy Fire Sect and Feng Yan, and it will also determine the future status and relationship between the two sides.
Now the plan is completely ruined! The corners of the Great Elder's eyes jumped.
Feng Yan leaned lazily on the back of his chair, looked at the three Great Elders with a smile, and didn't say a word.
For Feng Yan, what Suna and Sang Weipa made out was just an opportunity to use it to establish their authority and suppress the Holy Fire Sect.
Originally, Feng Yan intended to gradually promote Buddhism and Taoism in Huaizhou, but it was only to consolidate Dasheng's power and reduce the influence of the Holy Fire Sect.
Feng Yan's silence made the Great Elder's already apprehensive heart even more bottomless, and his heart sank little by little, and his heart panicked.
Although their Holy Fire Sect has millions of followers, these people are just ordinary people, and Feng Yan took Huaiguo by force and holds military power, if Feng Yan really wants to suppress them, it will also add a lot of trouble to the Holy Fire Sect.
It's not worth it for just a saint.
What's more, for the Holy Fire Cult, the top priority is to continue to maintain its supremacy in the new dynasty!
In the snap of his fingers, the Great Elder was already in a state of flux, and he quickly made a decision in his heart, and said: "Generalissimo, in order to express my Holy Fire Sect's apologies, my church immediately took the position of Suna Holy Maiden and chose another Holy Maiden. ”
Feng Yan was still silent, and casually raised his hand to dust the non-existent dust on his shoulder.
The Great Elder's heart jumped with Feng Yan's movements, and his heart was even more bottomless.
What does Feng Yan want?!
Even if it's to buy something, you have to raise the price first, so that everyone can bargain, right?
Unless, Feng Yan doesn't want to give them room to negotiate at all?!
The Great Elder's complexion changed slightly.
At this time, Feng Yan finally spoke, and proposed with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better not to have a saint." ”
He said "not as good", but in fact, his tone was not questionable at all.
The Great Elder's face changed in an instant. Feng Yan means that there will be no saints in the Holy Fire Sect from now on.
When the Holy Maiden performs the prayer dance, the Fire God will descend from heaven and possess the Holy Maiden, bless the Holy Water, and then the Holy Maiden will give the Holy Water to the believers, so that the faith of the Fire God can be spread like a torch......
This is a tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Without the Holy Maiden, these millions of believers would be like duckweed, unable to feel the blessings of the god of fire......
"Generalissimo......" The Great Elder wanted to vaguely delay the past first, after all, the Holy Maiden was very important, and it was not something he could give up if he said it.
If he hastily agreed, when he returned to the Holy Fire Sect, he would not be able to explain to the other elders and disciples, and he might even let the other elders who disobeyed him catch him, and lead to divisions within the sect, affecting his status in the sect.
However, Feng Yan didn't want to listen to him talk nonsense at all, so he turned his head directly to Luo Qifang and said, "Luo Qifang, I think the people of Huaizhou still need to be educated. ”
Luo Qifang heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, smiled slightly, and immediately proposed cooperatively: "Childe, it is better for my subordinates to send someone back to Dasheng to invite Master Ci'en from the White Horse Temple to come over and give lectures to the people here, so that they can also bathe in the Dharma and experience what the Dharma is boundless." ”
The other people present also tasted a little bit of the taste and echoed one after another:
"Master Ci'en Buddhism is profound, and the last general also listened to the master's lecture in the White Horse Temple a few years ago, which is really beneficial."
"yes, yes. There are also several masters of Huangjue Temple, who are also masters of the Tao......"
“……”
They chatted as if no one was around, seemingly unconcerned about what the Great Elder wanted to say.
As if he had been grabbed by the throat, the Great Elder was dumbfounded, and his heart became even more worried, and he quickly exchanged a look with the middle-aged disciple beside him.
Both of them knew that today's events might not be good.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Feng Yan should have been looking for an opportunity to suppress their Holy Fire Sect, and the scandal between Suna and Sanlaji made Feng Yan find a reason.
The matter has come to this point, and it must be decided when it is decided in order to minimize the loss.
If you don't give Feng Yan an explanation today, I'm afraid there won't even be a chance to "negotiate".
The Great Elder's shrewd eyes seemed to set off a stormy wave, and the waves rose and fell, and it took a while before they calmed down.
He finally made a decision in his heart, and gritted his teeth in response: "The generalissimo is right, don't want the saint." ”
It was just a short sentence, and the Great Elder seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and a tall tower in his heart seemed to collapse at this moment.
He could only tell himself that this was a necessary sacrifice for the continuation of the Holy Fire Sect, and at this time, being on the bar with this generalissimo would do more harm than good to the Holy Fire Sect.
Feng Yan's gaze finally looked at the Great Elder in front of him again, and the corners of his lips hooked, not surprised by the other party's submission.
In front of the powerful military power, no matter what kind of twists and turns this great elder has in his heart, he can only choose to surrender.
