Chapter 452: Take the initiative to release people
Get out of here! ”
Xiao Mohan put away the long sword in his hand, and just coldly spit out a few words, as if there was a sharp blade hidden in his eyes, which made people shudder, and he didn't dare to make a mistake at all.
Those people in black are also smart people, they know that tonight will definitely not work, and if they stay here, there is only one way to die, since Xiao Mohan has let them live, then they might as well continue, it is better to die than to live, and save their lives first.
Soon, those black-clothed men disappeared into the night one after another, Xiao Mohan's entourage had many casualties, and only half of them were still optimistic.
"They're not going to come back, you're all going to put out the fire."
Xiao Mohan cut the railway, every word was full of weight, and no one could refute it.
Those attendants also did the same immediately, and no one dared to delay, and now the fire at the end of the firewood room was burning brightly, and if it was not controlled in time, the whole temple would probably be reduced to ashes.
Yuan Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, those black-clothed people suddenly appeared just now, and he led people to guard Xiao Heng desperately, so that those black-clothed people did not succeed.
Xiao Mohan raised his feet and walked into the meditation room, Xiao Heng was tied to a wooden chair, with rags stuffed in his mouth, a black scarf blindfolded, and his hands and feet were shackled.
Yuan Ying stepped forward to help Xiao Heng up, Xiao Mohan looked contemptuous, and there was a hint of mockery on his lips, it seems that Xiao Heng really wants to go with Yueji, and whether Yueji really wants to save Xiao Heng or not, but it is not necessarily.
With the help of those attendants, the fire gradually decreased, and finally at dawn, the fire was extinguished, and at the same time, the entire firewood room had been burned clean, and the surrounding meditation rooms were affected, and the boundary of the temple was broken and ruined, full of a mushy smell.
The monks are also tired, but looking at this scene, they also want to cry without tears, the incense of this Wolong Temple is not vigorous, a fire burned so many things, if you want to rebuild, this investment of manpower and financial resources are a lot, this small temple, how to get it?
"Amitabha, General Xiao, I frightened you last night, please don't blame me."
Seeing Xiao Mohan coming, those monks hurriedly got up and saluted, all of them looked tired and embarrassed.
"This fire has burned like this, and your temple has suffered a lot of losses."
Xiao Mohan just looked around, glanced at it slightly, his tone was shallow, and he spoke lightly.
"Alas, natural and man-made disasters are always inevitable, wait for Master Fankong to come back, and then see how to repair it."
The monk sighed, and it could be seen that he was the abbot of this temple, and the other little monks were all depressed and looked very tired.
"Last night's incident, General Ben also saw it, don't worry, this temple, General Ben sent someone to repair it for you, it should be regarded as General Ben adding incense money to your temple."
Xiao Mohan suddenly spoke, just an unhurried sentence, which attracted the attention of many people.
"General Xiao, this is an oversight in our temple, how can we let you repair it? Besides, we also disturbed you last night, so you didn't rest, and if you don't blame us, we can rest assured. ”
The monk was a little surprised, originally he was afraid that this temple would offend Xiao Mohan because of last night's fire, so he would be offended, but now it seems that it is not like that at all.
"You are not careful, this general will not take it to heart, this general is also a person who devotes himself to worshiping the Buddha, how can this place dedicated to the Buddha be so tattered, this general does his best, not for you, but for the gods and Buddhas in this temple, so you don't have to be polite."
Xiao Mohan said it as a matter of course, he clearly didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but now he said so, such peace of mind, it really all depends on his mouth.
"Then thank you General Xiao, I will remember the general's grace for Wolong Temple."
The monk bowed slightly towards Xiao Mohan and spoke earnestly.
"General Xiao, last night the poor monk saw that your people stuffed away our two monks who were patrolling the night, and the poor monk didn't see them when he was fighting the fire, and the same is true now, are they still there with you?"
A monk in the back poked his head out and asked cautiously, those monks couldn't help but talk, and Xiao Mohan's eyes changed.
After all, this is a temple, not to mention that the two monks last night were very likely to be wronged, even if they really did it, Xiao Mohan couldn't do anything to them at this time, otherwise it would really be a public outrage.
"Bring someone here."
Xiao Mohan turned his head to look at Xue Yi and gave a faint order, and Xue Yi also remembered that the two monks last night were still in her hands.
"Yes, my subordinates will go." Xue Yi answered, then turned around and left the place, and after a while, brought the person over.
"Last night, it was General Ben's people who accidentally looked at the wrong person and wronged the two little masters, and General Ben is here to apologize to the two little masters for her."
Xiao Mohan bowed slightly, looking very humble, no one expected that Xiao Mohan, a dignified general, would be so polite to these monks.
In this way, no matter what happened last night, the two monks can't care, since Xiao Mohan has put down his body and given them a step, then it is best for them to go down, and if they keep making trouble like this, there will be no good results.
"The general's words are serious, since it is a misunderstanding, it is good to solve it, and the poor monk does not dare to have any complaints."
"That's right, it's all a misunderstanding, and the general is too polite."
The two monks responded one after another, and it seemed that last night's incident was over.
Xiao Mohan's face did not change, his hands were behind his back, he was dressed in a dark robe, and his posture was clear and upright, which was particularly conspicuous in this temple.
Today is the deadline he agreed with Yueji, Yueji didn't succeed last night, he will definitely come tonight, but for Xiao Heng, he has an idea in his heart, maybe Xiao Heng has a better place to go.
"Last night, Yueji sent someone to pretend to be a monk, and it was fireproof, I don't know what I will do tonight, our people have suffered a lot of casualties, if Yueji robs people at that time, can we handle it?"
Qian Qianqian followed Xiao Mohan's side, and she always had a doubt in her heart, although she never doubted Xiao Mohan's strength, but Yueji was too cunning, and extremely insidious, unscrupulous, such a person was the most terrifying.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Xiao Mohan lightly hooked his thin lips, a smile appeared on his face, and a touch of cunning flashed in his deep eyes, which made it difficult to see.
Those monks cleaned the temple well, and the whole Wolong Temple seemed to be calm again, except for the bell that rang at a fixed hour every day, and the birdsong outside, there was no sound.
But the more calm it is in the temple, the more undercurrents surge, and sometimes the waves hidden under the calm erupt to catch people off guard.
At night, Xiao Mohan sat by the window, with a game of chess in front of him, Qian Qianqian sat opposite him, the two seemed to be playing seriously, but they were actually deliberately waiting for something.
"If you are distracted in chess, you have no chance of winning."
Xiao Mohan ate a few of Qian Qianqian's chess pieces, and reminded him lightly, Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses, retracted her gaze, and twisted up a chess piece a little absentmindedly.
"At the moment, I am not in the mood to play chess, but you have to let me accompany you, where can I concentrate?"
Qian Qianqian pursed her red lips slightly, muttered, raised her hand to support her chin, and her brows twisted into a dead knot.
"Sooner or later, if you don't come, you won't come, what's the use of you being in a hurry? will only expose himself invisibly and give people a handle. ”
Xiao Mohan didn't care, he was still calm, there was no wave on his face, he was always like this, no matter when, he was so calm and self-controlled, as steady as Mount Tai.
Qian Qianqian glanced at Xiao Mohan, trying to calm herself down, sometimes she really didn't know what Xiao Mohan's heart was made of, next year is not very old, but he is calm and sophisticated at all times, more mature than those who have lived for most of his life, and she doesn't know what he has experienced over the years.
Xiao Mohan dropped a chess piece, and at this moment, there were several strange noises outside, and Qian Qianqian suddenly became alert and gave Xiao Mohan a look.
The wooden window "creaked" open, and a black shadow came in from outside, and walked in front of Xiao Mohan, with a light veil covering his face and charming eyebrows.
"Why don't you go to the main gate, I have already given the order, and no one will stop you."
Xiao Mohan didn't even look at Yueji, just concentrated on playing chess, his tone was light, revealing a hint of mockery.
"The general has always been cunning, I have been fighting with you for so many years, I have long been used to it, it is better to go astray."
Yueji sneered, she is not a vegetarian either, this time it was Xiao Mohan who took the initiative to send someone to deliver the news to her, so she was also a little curious.
"You set the fire last night."
Xiao Mohan lowered his eyes, although he was asking Yueji, but his tone was full of affirmation, whether Yueji admitted it or not, he knew it in his heart.
"That's right, I sent someone to do it, and finally had such a good opportunity, I naturally wanted to give it a try, but I still failed, and the general's people are really first-class masters."
Yueji didn't hide it, what had been put on the surface, and if she covered it up, it would have no meaning, so she might as well admit it generously, but it would highlight her openness more.
"General Ben is here to give you people this time, why are you so anxious, you have injured so many lives for no reason, and you have lost a lot of your own people."
As soon as Xiao Mohan's words came out, Yueji was confused, and she didn't know what Xiao Mohan meant.
"General Xiao, if I didn't make a fool of myself, you mean that you want to hand over Xiao Heng to me?"
Yueji suddenly became interested, staring at Xiao Mohan's side face, not daring to relax at all.
"Not bad." Xiao Mohan gently spit out two words, there was no superfluous look on his face, his eyes were burning, and his eyebrows were heroic.
"No, General Xiao, I'm here for Xiao Heng this time, you don't have to act in front of me, you and I have been fighting for many years, and the details of the other party are already clear, so this kind of thing is useless to me."
Yueji sneered and shook her head again and again, it could be seen that she didn't believe Xiao Mohan's words at all, if Xiao Mohan could let Xiao Heng go so easily, she wouldn't have bothered.
"Don't worry, General Ben still has something to say."
Xiao Mohan didn't care, whether Yueji believed it or not, this matter would not change, and he would not change his mind.
