Dong Ying looked disgusted, and turned his head to Mu Yan and yelled: "Dog officer! Don't think I'll bow to you! Lao Tzu and you dog officials are incompatible! ”

Dog officer?! The tea in Jun Lingxi's mouth almost didn't squirt out, and he thought of the "dog official" in the play, and his shoulders trembled slightly with laughter.

Xiao Tian drank tea by himself, and didn't even bother to have a senseless verbal dispute with Dong Ying. Anyway, Dong Ying had already decided that he had taken refuge in the imperial court, and it was useless to say more.

The young general surnamed Pu and the square-faced young general frowned, and their faces sank like water. This bandit is so bold that he dares to be rude to his son!

Mu Yan glanced at Dong Ying coldly, and said four words lightly: "What did you say?" ”

His dark pupils were cold and sharp, flashing with a light as sharp as a blade, and there was no trace of warmth in them, and he was not angry.

Just at this glance, I could see that Dong Ying was chilling all over, and his body was as if he was soaked in ice water, and it was cold to the bone.

"......" Dong Ying suddenly became dumb and could no longer speak.

The handsome young man in front of him looked like he was not yet at the age of the weak crown, but his eyes were far more terrifying than their Jin kings, this was the eyes of the superiors!

Dong Ying suddenly had a feeling in his heart that this young man's status in the imperial court was not low.

The other party is an official, and he is a bandit, this bandit falls into the hands of the court officials, and the outcome can be imagined, and he is afraid that he will not be able to save his life.

I thought that this time I came out to make a contribution, but I didn't expect that I would lose my life here.

Dong Ying's expression was a little dazed, and he was depressed.

Mu Yan looked at Dong Ying and asked coldly: "You said that Xiao Tian took refuge in the imperial court, so who did you Jinjiazhai take refuge into?" ”

"We're not as seedless as Xiao Tian!" Dong Ying blurted out a retort, raising his chin, "We didn't take refuge in the imperial court, we just cooperated!" ”

Xiao Tian's eyes widened slightly, first shocked, and then felt that it was indeed the case.

In the past two years, Jinjiazhai has expanded its territory very fast, and it is a little abnormal, and he once felt that there was something wrong with Jinjiazhai, until now, he understood.

Jinjiazhai turned out to be secretly "supported" by someone in the imperial court.

In other words, Fang Cai Dong Ying also accused himself of being a lackey of the imperial court, which is really-

"The wicked sue first." Jun Lingxi silently said to Xiao Tian with his mouth.

Xiao Tian thought so.

Mu Yan hooked his lips, his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again: "Dong Ying, then who are you Jinjiazhai cooperating with?" ”

"......" Dong Ying was silent, his gaze wandering.

Mu Yan was not in a hurry, raised his eyebrows, and ordered, "Xiaopu, you come and ask." ”

The young general surnamed Pu just took a step closer to Dong Ying, Dong Ying was trembling, the other party's torture method just now was still fresh in his memory, and the pain all over his body was like a heartbreak, which made him feel painful.

He kind of knows what it means to live, not to die.

"I say, I say everything!" Dong Ying hurriedly said nervously, "I don't know his identity, in our Jinjiazhai, I'm afraid that only King Jin and Ping'an Gong know." ”

He is just a small leader in Jinjiazhai, and he is in charge of 500 people.

Last year, the owner of Jinzhai proclaimed himself the king of Jin, and rewarded the meritorious ministers in the village, and the second master, that is, the brother-in-law of the owner of Jinzhai, had to be crowned Ping'angong, and he was just a small brave general.

If he takes Xiao Tian this time and successfully helps the village to win Qingfeng Mountain, then he can take the first credit, how can he be named a marshal or a general, and in the future, when the King of Jin occupies the entire Jinzhou, it is not a problem to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, but it is pointless to think about it now......

"And what else do you know?" Mu Yan looked at Dong Ying with a smile, and his expression seemed to say, what value do you think you have?

Dong Ying's heart shrank suddenly, and Mu Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Tian again, "Xiao Tian, do you want to go and see if there are any people you know in the monk's hall?" ”

Xiao Tian said very cooperatively: "Brother Yan, why don't you call that Mu Laoqi for interrogation?" ”

"I'm really not lying!" Dong Ying was afraid that he would lose his value, so he said in a panic, "I just saw that there was a middle-aged man who often came to King Jin, and he also got a batch of fire guns for King Jin." ”

"King Jin has never told us what this person's identity is, and I judged that he was from the imperial court because I heard that his accent was a capital accent."

Dong Ying said that these are not secrets in Jinjiazhai, basically people at the general level know that the King of Jin has a partner in Beijing, and he can provide them with some support, such as firearms, such as money......

"......" Mu Yan moved his eyebrows, and his face that was always a little casual could not be seen to be happy or angry.

Dong Ying's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he didn't know that Mu Yan was dissatisfied with the information he provided.

Seeing that Dong Ying was played by Mu Yan as a monkey like this, Xiao Tian sighed deeply in his heart: The man with a small injustice is really a traitor!

Mu Yan lowered his eyes and thought, the matter of the fire gun was an unexpected gain.

Since he returned to Beijing from Huaizhou, Cen Yin told him everything that happened in the capital during the time he left Beijing, and he naturally knew that Dongchang had found a batch of firearms from Xie's family.

The Dasheng Dynasty is very strict with the supervision of firearms, every procedure must be registered, the Xie family's batch of firearms is better than the one most commonly used in the Dasheng army now, at that time, Cen Yin was handed over to the Ministry of War for investigation, but there is no result until now, on the surface, the court has no lost firearms.

At this time, hearing Dong Ying mention the firearm, Mu Yan inevitably put these two things together.

Could the firearms in Jinjiazhai be from the same source as those of the Xie family?

Even if there is no evidence for the time being, Mu Yan has an intuition in his heart, I'm afraid there is a chance that it will be nine times out of ten.

Of course, not absolutely.

Dasheng is now riddled with holes, and there are many links that can cause problems, and there is still a long way to go to thoroughly reform the accumulated malpractices, rectify the rule of officials, and purge the officialdom.

In the side hall, there was silence for a moment.

Dong Ying became more and more uneasy, his heart was like a drum, and he was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Mu Yan suddenly asked again: "In addition to firearms, do you know what else the other party provided?" ”

Dong Ying really remembered one more thing, and said excitedly: "By the way, Yutu, in addition to gold and silver treasures, there is also Yutu of Jinzhou!" ”

Since ancient times, the map has been collected by the official, and the people are prohibited from issuing and disseminating the map, and this person can provide the map to Jinjiazhai, and there is no doubt that he must be a person from the imperial court.

Mu Yan waved his hand, knowing that he couldn't ask anything else from Dong Ying, so he let people drag him down.

The young general surnamed Pu immediately asked his subordinates to drag the muddy Dong Ying down.

Xiao Tian yawned lazily again.

After making trouble in the middle of the night, Mu Yan was not in a hurry to leave, and said to Xiao Tian: "Xiaotian, you go and rest first, I will ask the doctor to come to Jianning Temple." ”

Xiao Tian responded with kindness and was at peace with the encounter.

He is injured, and he has no ability to go to heaven and earth, so he can only obey the arrangements of others.

"Then I'll go back too." Jun Lingxi watched the excitement and got up obediently.

The two walked out and chatted:

"Xiaotian, I almost forgot to return your sword to you, I'll have someone send it to you later."

"That sword was borrowed from me by Brother Yan, and I am generous to others."

"This sword is good, I use it quite well, it seems that the sword I used before was still too light."

“……”

The voices of the two faded away as they walked away.

Luo Feng looked at the backs of the two with strange expressions, and muttered almost silently: "It's a pity that Miss Jun is not a man. Luo Feng felt in her heart that Jun Lingxi was really big-hearted, and this night was so vigorous, not only was she not frightened, but she was also very peaceful.

It is worthy of the Jun family!

Luo Feng accidentally flashed his mind, and in the next moment, he only listened to Mu Yan's instructions: "You take my token and transfer some people from the nearest guard, and borrow a military doctor by the way." ”

Luo Feng immediately came back to his senses, took the golden token representing the regent in Mu Yan's hand, and clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Childe." ”

It was destined to be a busy sleepless night for Luofeng. He took the order and set off down the mountain overnight.

Not only him, but also the fifty elites of the fire team who stayed in the temple, they also had to clean the bloodstains in the temple overnight and clean up the damaged objects.

Unconsciously, the full moon faded, the sky gradually appeared white, the east sun rose, and the sunlight passed through the clouds and mist between the mountains and forests, covering this quiet mountain forest with a halo as thin as a light veil.

The air is exceptionally refreshing, and the birds flutter their wings and chirp in the mountains and forests, giving people a sense of vitality and tranquility.

For many pilgrims, it was also a sleepless night, even lying on the couch tossing and turning all night, barely closing their eyes.

Seeing that the sky was finally dawning, some pilgrims who stayed overnight couldn't wait to get up, packed up their things and wanted to leave, but who wanted to, but was stopped at the gate of the temple.

"Why don't you let us go!"

One of the young men had the audacity to confront the young general surnamed Pu, looking dissatisfied.

Another old woman frowned deeply, and echoed in her voice: "That's right, even if you are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, we have neither killed people nor set fires, nor have we broken the law, why are you stopping us from leaving!" ”

The other seven or eight pilgrims also nodded frequently.

The young general surnamed Pu looked faint, and said casually: "There may be mountain bandits around the mountain, if you are not afraid, just leave." ”

As soon as he said that, the elite of the fire pistols guarding outside the temple made way for these pilgrims, and they made way with the style of "everyone please do your own".

They did not stop them, but the pilgrims were frightened and looked at each other hesitantly.

Even though the surroundings had been swept away, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, and not only that, but the stone bricks on the ground and the walls of the temple also left traces of last night's battle.

Last night, they had been hiding in the Guanyin Temple, from beginning to end, they didn't see the figure of those mountain bandits, but the door could block the view, but it couldn't block those cruel sounds.

The sound of the bandits banging on the door, the firing of firearms, and the screams of the bandits...... One after another, even if they didn't witness it, they could imagine the cruel scene.

The murderous reputation of the Jinjiazhai mountain bandits is known to three-year-old children in Jinzhou, and it is almost a trick used by the old man to scare children.

If there are still fish that slip through the net, or if Jinjiazhai sends a second batch of mountain bandits, it will be dangerous.

Someone cleared his throat: "The military master is right." It's better to stay a little longer. ”

The others also descended the stairs and obediently returned to their chambers.

Jianning Temple returned to calm, and it was not until noon that another group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The other soldiers were all on standby at the foot of the mountain, and Luofeng took a middle-aged man with a vigorous description and a dozen soldiers up the mountain to meet Mu Yan.

The person who came was Wang Yingbo, the commander of the Jinju Central Guard.

Wang Yingbo saluted Mu Yan very solemnly: "See the regent." ”

Xiao Tian on the side was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. Mu Yan's subordinates all called him Gongzi, and this was the first time he had heard someone call Mu Yan like this.

This wilted and wilted man of the capital is the regent?

Xiao Tian opened his mouth slightly, dumbfounded.

He originally thought that the family background of the pair of unjust cousins was already very scary, one was the princess of the golden branch and jade leaves, and the other was the girl of the Shoufu family, but now he is still calling the regent a brother and sister?

Xiao Tian always felt that this world had become a bit mysterious.

Xiao Tian also heard a little about this rumored regent.

Whether it is Emperor Chongming's name being corrected, or Emperor Chongming's orphans, it has long been announced in the world, both of which have caused waves in Dasheng, not to mention, the son of Emperor Chongming also took Nanhuai to add new territory to Dasheng and made immortal achievements.

For those ordinary people, it is enough to praise it for a long time.

After all, compared to the mediocre and absurd Jinshang, Mu Yan, the son of Emperor Chongming, is more like the Ming Jun that the people are looking forward to.

Xiao Tian looked at Mu Yan who was less than a zhang away from him with strange eyes, and the doubts in his heart became even stronger: Mu Yan is the regent, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand. He personally made such a trip from the capital to Jinju, did he come for himself?

It's hard to believe no matter how you think about it!

So, why exactly?

This question appeared again in Xiao Tian's heart, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, and a ghostly light flowed and flickered at the bottom of his eyes.

At this time, Mu Yan's eyes met Xiao Tian, and he casually pointed to the doctor who was carrying the medicine box on the side and said, "Let the military doctor take a look at your injuries." ”

The doctor stood aside and looked at Xiao Tian, somewhat curious about Xiao Tian's identity and his qualifications to sit with the regent. Could it be the son of a noble family of the clan?

Xiao Tian got up and arched his hand at the doctor, "I'm sorry for you." ”

The doctor was honestly frightened, and said "where, where", and then followed Xiao Tian to the next room.

Mu Yan's flat voice came from the rear: "Lord Wang, you lead the troops to clean up the counties around Daning Mountain, if you find bandits, it doesn't matter if you live or die." ”

"The last will obey." Wang Yingbo hurriedly received the order.

Xiao Tian suppressed the urge to turn back, and said in his heart: This passive feeling is really uncomfortable, but now he has a helpless injury and can only recuperate first.

Not to mention anything else, the skills of the cooks in King Jian's Mansion are much better than the monks here. Things are still going in a good direction, aren't they?

Xiao Tian thought optimistically, one step at a time.

The military doctor is really good at treating external injuries, he scraped the carrion on Xiao Tian, treated the wound, and re-injured the medicine, Xiao Tian was like a new life, and that night, the bleeding of the wound stopped.

By the next day, Xiao Tian's face was a lot more rosy.

At the same time, there were many successes.

Wang Yingbo had already led people to sweep the surrounding thirty miles, and the fire team led by Zheng Xiaowei also returned to Jianning Temple at noon to resume his life, which was also a great victory.

"Two thousand bandits have been taken, five hundred have been captured, and the rest have been annihilated!"

Captain Zheng is embarrassed to use a big victory, after all, he just fights a few bandits, these bandits are just a plate of loose sand, they have neither formal training nor know tactics, and the gap between adults and children is not comparable at all.

Moreover, they still fought when they knew the other party's deployment, and it would be too embarrassing if there was no big victory!

Sure that there was nothing to do around, Mu Yan ordered the pilgrims to leave on their own.

But by this time, the pilgrims were in no hurry to leave.

"Master Jun, we want to kowtow to the regent." An old woman in Tsing Yi said respectfully to the young general surnamed Pu, "Don't worry, the old woman doesn't dare to disturb the regent, she just wants to kowtow to him outside." ”

Since the arrival of Wang Yingbo, the commander of Jinzhou Zhongwei, and the commander of Jinzhou Zhongwei yesterday, Mu Yan's identity has spread in the temple.

Now most of the pilgrims already know that this young man who looks like a noble prince is actually the rumored regent.

For these ordinary people, the regent is really no different from the gods in the sky, who was originally a figure who lived by word of mouth, but now he appeared in front of them.

Isn't this almost like a god descending to earth?!

These pilgrims were both frightened and honored.

"yes, yes." A middle-aged woman's eyes lit up and she said, "The regent loves the people like a son, and we also want to express our hearts." ”

Look, they came to the temple to incense and met bandits, the regent personally led troops to suppress the bandits, this regent really loves the people like a son, just like the former Emperor Chongming, sure enough, there is a father and a son.

The pilgrims felt that they were really blessed people, and these things were enough for them to talk about for the rest of their lives when they returned.

Facing this pair of shining and expectant eyes, the young general surnamed Pu was a little confused. He is better at dealing with those arrogant and unreasonable reckless women, and he will not deal with other people's soft words.

The square-faced young general knew that his comrade was cold-faced and warm-hearted, and he was amused, so he answered for him: "I'll take you there." Just kowtow, don't disturb the nobles. ”

"That's that, that's."

A few pilgrims patted their chests and won.

They were indeed very peaceful, and only kowtowed outside the house in a proper manner.

When the pilgrims left, Mu Yan specially asked the people of Jinzhou Zhongwei to escort them down the mountain all the way back to Daning County, and these pilgrims became more and more grateful to Dade, and they were full of praise for the regent one by one.

There were pilgrims who went down the mountain, and there were pilgrims who were not in a hurry to rush back, and those squires or the families of small officials simply sent people home to deliver the message of peace, and stayed in the temple first.

After all, it is a blessing to be able to meet the regent, and it is a great blessing to be able to live in a temple with the regent to worship the Buddha.

Therefore, Jianning Temple also got some extra incense money, and some people even proposed to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattvas in the temple, so that the monks in the temple couldn't help but feel that there would be a blessing if they didn't die.

Mu Yan didn't know anything about the careful thoughts of those pilgrims, and at this moment he was meeting with Princess Jane.

"Taifei, do you want to go back to Beijing? Jinju is not peaceful after all. "Mu Yan's purpose in looking for Princess Jian is to persuade the other party to return to the capital.

"......" Princess Jian was silent, slowly twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, still a little hesitant in her heart.

For her, Jianning Temple is naturally of special significance, this is the place where she and Jun Ji first met, when she got married, three years without a look, but also here to seek the eldest son Jun Ran......

After Jun Ji went first, she vowed to keep filial piety for her husband in this temple for three years, and how could she change the order every day!

However, as Mu Yan said, the situation in Jinju is not peaceful, and this time there is no danger, but there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents in the future.

She can't let her daughter and daughter-in-law accompany her on adventures here.

Seeing that Princess Jian was moved, Mu Yan persuaded again: "Concubine, if you want to worship the Buddha, you may not be in Jianning Temple, why don't you go to Huangjue Temple?" ”

Wuyang also knew the significance of Jianning Temple to Princess Jian, and sat silently on the sidelines.

Jun Lingxi also didn't persuade her, with her understanding of the mother concubine and Mu Yan, the result can be imagined, and there is no suspense at all.

For returning to the capital, Jun Lingxi is still looking forward to it.

It's too boring in this mountain, if you go back to Beijing, Duanmu Fei and Hanxing can occasionally come to the palace to see her, and they can also get the military report from the north as soon as possible.

When the eldest brother is fine, the three of them can rest assured.

Jun Lingxi lowered his voice and asked Xiao Tian, who was sitting beside him, "Xiaotian, do you want to go back to the capital together?" ”

"......" Xiao Tian, who was eating a snack deliciously, almost choked when he heard this, and felt that this Jun girl really shouldn't mention which pot.

He poured several sips of tea before swallowing the snack stuck in his throat.

Of course he didn't want to go to the capital, after all, there was still a lot of crisis in Taichu Village, and no one knew Xu Dajian's next plan, he was like gunpowder buried in Taichu Village, and he didn't know when it would explode.

Xiao Tian can't wait to rush back to Taichuzhai as soon as possible, the problem is, it seems that he can't be the master?

Xiao Tianxia subconsciously glanced over his left shoulder.

Jun Lingxi thought that Xiao Tian was worried about his injury, and looked at his left shoulder, which looked a little bloated because of the bandage, and said, "Xiao Tian, although the military doctor can treat the external injury, but your injury is serious, you still have to find a doctor to take a look." Otherwise, your left arm will not be wasted, and I am afraid that you will have to suffer some hardships. ”

Although Jun Lingxi doesn't know medical skills, she is a disciple of Jiangmen, whether it is Jun Ji or Jun Ran, there are many old injuries on her body, and some old injuries will attack on rainy days, which is not comfortable.

"Listen to me, yes." Jun Lingxi crossed the small square between the two and patted him on the right shoulder.

Xiao Tian raised his right hand and gently stroked it on his left shoulder, just touching it so lightly, there was a piercing pain on his left shoulder.

He pursed his lips, his eyes glazed over.

At that time, the arrow was originally aimed at his heart, and he dodged quickly, and the arrow missed only a few inches, hitting his left shoulder blade, allowing him to escape death.

But then he fell into the water again, the arrow with a barb, when the arrow was pulled out of the wound on the wound, he had already prepared this arm will be useless, yesterday after the military doctor saw his injury, he bluntly said that his left shoulder may not be able to withstand gravity in the future, can not recover as before, rainy days the wound will be even more painful.

However, it was already better than he expected.

Xiao Tian's eyes deepened slightly.

He still has his right arm, and he still has this life, which is already lucky.

Outside the window, the breeze faintly came the sound of muttering chanting, solemn and pious, the house was lit with sandalwood, floating lightly in the air, listening to the sound of Buddha, smelling sandalwood, making people feel peaceful and quiet.

Princess Jian looked out of the window when she heard the sound, the sunlight outside the window poured into the courtyard, and the outside was purple and red, and the birds were flying and butterflies were dancing, and she couldn't see what had happened the night before.

The string of Buddhist beads twisted in Princess Jane's hand stopped, her expression became calm, and she finally nodded: "Okay, we will go back to Beijing with you." ”

The "we" in her mouth naturally includes Jun Lingxi and Wuyang.

Jun Lingxi and Wuyang looked at each other and smiled.

"Concubine, you have someone pack up their things, and we'll leave this afternoon." Mu Yan said with a smile.

After solving the problem of Princess Jane, Mu Yan's eyes looked at Xiao Tian with a smile.

Mu Yan's phoenix eyes were very beautiful, and when he smiled, his eyes flashed with bright light, but Xiao Tian felt that the feeling of being remembered by these eyes made his heart tremble.

"Xiaotian, you can go back to the capital together." Mu Yan used a statement tone and smiled kindly.

Xiao Tian was once again looked up to by him with goosebumps, and his hair stood on end. He felt that he would rather go back and tear his face with Xu Dajian than deal with this benevolent brother.

There is a way to be diligent in nothing, and it is either a traitor or a thief.
