Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Present of He's Bi
"Concubine Xuan is here!"
Qi was relieved to move, and immediately understood the meaning of Wan Wan's words, if you want to be well-informed, who else in the world can compare to the Yin Sect. "Where is she now?"
Wan Wan said: "I sent a disciple to see her in Luoyang City yesterday, and now, she is mostly in the Jingnian Zen Monastery in the eastern suburbs. ”
Qi Fang nodded and asked, "Is He's Bi on her?" ”
Wan Wan smiled: "No one knows about this kind of thing. But if you want to know, it's simple, grab her and ask, don't you know? ”
Qi Fang raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "There are so many masters in your faction, why did you come to me?" ”
Wan Wan glanced at him with a strange gaze and said, "Everyone in the world knows about this matter, you shouldn't understand." Our Holy Gate and Cihang Jingzhai have made an agreement that they will send a successor to compete every 20 years, and the loser will not be allowed to set foot in the rivers and lakes for the next 20 years. Therefore, my predecessors of the Holy Gate will not make a move to the concubine, and in the same way, the concubine will not recruit fellow martial artists to besiege the slave family. Otherwise, this agreement will be annulled, and then it will be a full-scale scuffle between the two factions, which will not benefit anyone. ”
Qi Fang said: "Is it okay if I make a move?" ”
Wan Wan explained: "First, Qi Lang is not a member of my Holy Gate, and if he does it, it will not be a violation of the agreement. Second, you first damaged the slave's body, so that Wan'er was at a disadvantage before she did it, since you want to compete fairly, now you do it to the concubine, and they won't say anything if you think about it. And with the help of the power of a third party, it is also a tacit matter for our two factions, and the first few times, our Holy Gate disciples have lost in the hands of the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai in this way. So please Qi Lang couldn't be more suitable, can't you help others? It's a big deal, people and Sister Concubine Xuan serve you together, and they will promise you whatever posture you want to play. ”
Hearing Wan Wan say this, Qi Fang's face changed several times in a row, first showing a heartbeat, then embarrassed, then hesitant, and finally said with a righteous face: "Since Wan Wan begged me like this, for your sake, I reluctantly agreed, hahaha......"
"Is it reluctant to laugh so much? I've never seen someone as brazen as you. Wan Wan glanced at him angrily, and then said: "Then it's decided, when the senior concubine appears, people will come to inform you, let's arrest her, and then ......."
"Understand, I'll take care of the rest. With such a heavy responsibility, who else can I be? Qi Fang said impassionedly.
Wan Wan looked at him dumbfounded, and said faintly: "You didn't enter my holy gate, it's really a waste of your talent." ”
Qi Fang raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Your husband and I are very talented, and there are many advantages that you haven't discovered." After a pause, he said, "By the way, what is the situation in Luoyang City now?" ”
Wan Wan showed a ridiculous expression, and then said: "Almost all the people who should come have come, except for the Yuwen valve, who was too busy to take care of himself, and did not send anyone to come, the other three valves have sent people over." Li Valve came from Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin, Song Valve came from Song Shidao, the son of Heavenly Dao, Song Yuzhi, the second lady, and Song Lu, the 'silver beard', and Dugu Ba and Dugu Sheng of Dugu Valve also withdrew from Jiangdu. Most of the rebel forces in the north sent people over, and the rebel army in the south came relatively few because of the distance or other reasons. Among them, the more famous people are Changbai Wang Bo, Hebei Liu Heimin, Bingzhou Song Jingang, Wagang Shen Luoyan, it can be said that the heroes gathered. ”
"In addition, there are also many masters outside the Saiwai who have come to join in the fun, such as Sect Master Tiele 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao, Prince Fuqian of Tuyuhun, Tuli of the Little Khan of the Eastern Turks, Tuoba Yu, Chun Yuwei and others of 'Wuzun' Bi Xuan's disciples."
"There's another piece of news that isn't so certain." Speaking of this, Wan Wan's face showed a solemn look for the first time. "Someone saw Ning Daoqi in the Bashu area, and he seems to be coming over as well......"
Ning Daoqi, the first scattered person in the Central Plains, the name of the Great Grandmaster hangs over everyone's heads like a mountain, not only in the Central Plains, but also in several surrounding countries.
Qi Fang nodded slowly and said, "It's a little interesting, but it's also expected." Quan Er sat in Luoyang, and no one dared to ignore her even if she didn't show up. Concubine Xuan was afraid that she would not be able to control the scene, so she invited Ning Laodao over to cheer, it seems that the person she chose is still not Yang Tong. ”
Wan Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell Sister Mingyu and let her be careful." The presiding monk of the Jingnian Zen Monastery is a person of the same generation as the patriarch of my school, and this person's martial arts are definitely not under Ning Daoqi, only because he practices closed-mouth meditation and has not been out of the temple for decades, so his reputation is not obvious, and he must be treated with caution. I'm afraid that Ning Daoqi is here, not only for the sake of the He clan, but also for the relationship with Grandmaster Mingyu. ”
Qi Fang sneered and said, "I know, don't worry, a person who hasn't done anything for decades, I'm afraid he has forgotten how to do it with people." Also, can you help me with one thing? ”
Wan Wan said: "What's the matter?" ”
Qi Fang said: "Help me release a message, just say that He's Bi is now hiding in the Jingnian Zen Temple, and let this news spread throughout Luoyang in one day." ”
Wan Wan's expression moved, and she was surprised: "Are you trying to ......?"
Qi Fang nodded and said, "Yes, the first strike is the strongest." ”
……
In less than a day, it only took two hours, and the news had already reached the ears of all the heroes.
Palace.
Yang Tong, the lord of the emperor, gathered all the ministers to discuss in the Golden Dragon Palace.
Yang Tong looked at the ministers in the palace and said, "Zhu Aiqing must know about this matter, I don't know what you think?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
Yang Tong looked at Dugu Feng and said, "I wonder what Dugu Shouqing thinks about this matter?" ”
Dugu Feng coughed lightly, and had to speak: "He's Bi has been a symbol of the emperor since ancient times, and he can't be left out no matter what. Since He Shibi is in the Pure Mind Meditation Temple, let them hand it over. Wang Shangshu has the power of the soldiers and horses in the city, so it is better to hand over this matter to Wang Shangshu, and he will not disappoint the emperor. ”
Yang Tong nodded slightly, looked at Wang Shichong, and said, "What does Wang Shangshu think?" ”
Wang Shichong secretly hated in his heart, glanced at Dugu Feng angrily, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is a little strange. There was no news about He's Bi before, but today, the news suddenly spread throughout Luoyang. I am afraid that this matter is operated by someone behind the scenes, and if this news is deliberately released, there will be a shocking conspiracy, so we must not act rashly and think twice. ”
Dugufeng immediately retorted: "Regardless of whether someone deliberately spread rumors, but this matter has spread all over Luoyang, and it is a matter of honor and disgrace for the country, so it must be done." ”
Wang Shichong asked loudly: "Even if there is a conspiracy trap, you have to jump down?" ”
Dugu Feng said categorically: "Not bad." If you don't act, what majesty does this dynasty have? ”
Wang Shichong sneered and said, "Then it's better to ask Commander Dugu to go to the Jingnian Zen Temple, and please return to the jade seal." We are waiting here to prepare a banquet and celebrate the success of the Dugu leader. ”
Dugu Feng said with a smile: "As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the minister must always protect the emperor, how can he leave his post without permission?" ”
Wang Shichong's eyes rolled, and his heart moved, this old fox can't deal with rebels, but he is very good at dealing with his own people when he plays conspiracy and tricks, and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since you don't know whether the matter is true or false, and the minister is the secretary of the military department, it is not easy to act rashly, so it is better to send two pioneers to explore the way, find out the truth of the matter, and then make a decision." ”
Dugu Feng instantly understood Wang Shichong's intentions, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Wang Shangshu's words are quite pertinent, the minister has a recommendation, Xu Ziling, the deputy commander under the minister, is a young hero, witty, and he comes forward to inquire about the Zen Academy, which will not lose the majesty of the dynasty, but will not seem too frivolous, and can make things clear, which is very suitable." ”
Wang Shicheng immediately said: "The minister also recommends a person, Kou Zhong, the squire of the military department, is a young man and heroic, and he is brave, and he will be able to do this." ”
"This ......"
Yang Tong hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Quan, and said, "What does Taifu think?" ”
Su Quan nodded very calmly and said, "Yes." ”
Yang Tong said: "That's good, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling listen to the order, and I order you to be the vanguard envoys of the left and right, and go to the Jingnian Zen Temple to retrieve the jade seal, the stakes are very high, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
……
The two immediately took a hundred soldiers to the Jingnian Monastery in the eastern suburbs.
Kou Zhong bumped Xu Ziling with his shoulder and said, "I heard that Jingnian Zen Monastery is the mainstay of the Baidao martial arts, and it is known in the world as Cihang Jingzhai, and all the monks in the temple are martial arts masters, how could the master agree to let us do this errand?" ”
Xu Ziling rolled his eyes and whispered: "How do I know the master's intentions, but the people in Buddhism are merciful and quiet, even if things don't work out, they shouldn't embarrass us." ”
Kou Zhong said: "What if He's Bi is really in the Pure Nian Zen Temple?" Just with our hundreds of people, it was not sent to death in the past. ”
Xu Ziling was also a bit of a Muggle, and said, "Forget it, anyway, we're just exploring the way and asking about the situation." ”
After a while, the group came to the front of the Jingnian Monastery.
"The evening drum and morning bell wake up the world's fame and fortune."
"The Sutra Buddha calls back the dream of the bitter sea."
The two pairs of characters are engraved on the two doorposts at the gate of the Pure Nian Monastery, and each word is one foot in size.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at the huge gate that was very high, and listened to the melodious and majestic chanting sound coming from the Zen courtyard, which seemed to make the entire mountain forest vibrate, and their hearts were frightened for three minutes.
In front of the Meditation Monastery of Nuoda, the individual is as small as an ant.
"What are you afraid of, we are Qincha, what does he dare to do with us."
Kou Zhong secretly cheered himself up, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.
Tilting less, the giant door opened with a "squeak", and a monk walked to the door, clasped his hands together and said: "I don't know why the generals came to the courtyard?" ”
Kou Zhong arched his hand and said, "We are ordered by the emperor to see you preside." ”
The monk replied with a salute, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The Buddha Gate is a pure place outside the square, and no soldiers can use swords and guns, the two generals can enter, and the generals under the command of the general should also wait outside the temple." Two, please. ”
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong glanced at each other, instructed their subordinates to wait outside, and then boldly walked into the Jingnian Zen Temple.
