Chapter 110: Evacuation
It was a sleepless night.
The temple is brightly lit.
"What's going on? What happened? Old Madam Ming was flustered when she heard the footsteps outside.
She is a person who has experienced war, and when she was a teenager, she was in turmoil in the world, and she had seen such things as soldiers and horses besieging the city, and when she heard this sound, she knew that it was the footsteps of the march.
The second lady immediately sent someone to see it, and after a short time, she came back and said: "Old lady, it's a soldier, there are soldiers!" β
A room full of people panicked.
How can there be soldiers? The wildfires have been extinguished, what are these soldiers doing?
Just then, MSCI returned.
"Uncle grandmother, second aunt, mother." He saluted and said, "Don't be afraid, these soldiers were transferred by Lord Jiang. Now something has happened in Baoling Temple, and Lord Jiang is dealing with it. β
"Even the soldiers and horses are used, what kind of thing is it?" Mrs. Ming asked hurriedly.
Mingsheng shook his head: "This matter can't be said now, in short, we will be fine if we stay honest." β
Mrs. Ming nodded, thinking of her son and nephew who were still in front, and asked, "What about your father and your second uncle?" β
Mingsheng was silent and replied, "They are in the same place with the king of the county!" β
Mrs. Ming felt a little comforted, and said to her daughter-in-law and nephew: "Since you are with the prince, you should be fine." There are many guards around the prince! β
After comforting his relatives, Mingsheng excused himself to go to the front to summon the news and went out of the Buddha hall.
He stood in the night for a while, and Ming Xiang came out: "Fourth brother! β
Ming Xiang knew more than others, and he was very worried at this time.
She intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with her.
Mingsheng reluctantly smiled at her: "It's okay, don't worry, there is a fourth brother here!" β
Ming Xiang looked back, saw that others didn't pay attention to this, and lowered his voice and asked, "Fourth brother, tell me honestly, this matter is related to our family, right?" Three Berta ......"
Mingsheng was silent for a while, reached out and gently touched her head, and said softly: "You have to be mentally prepared, our family ...... There may be great difficulties. β
Ming Xiang almost burst into tears: "Will it affect the whole family?" Daddy, and the sixth brother and the ninth brother, they ......"
"Not really." Mingsheng said softly, "The fourth brother just went to tell Master Jiang about this, and your seventh sister also did this early. We have merit, and Master Jiang promised to intercede for us. β
"Seventh sister?" Ming Xiang had tears in his eyes, "Is Seventh Sister okay?" The fire ......"
"It's okay, rescued." MSCI said lightly, "She doesn't even care about her reputation, but she has actually done a lot of things behind her back, and you can't misunderstand her in the future." β
Ming Xiang endured his eyes and nodded: "I know, I never believed those rumors." β
MSCI smiled.
Although his father is disappointing, he still has such a good sister!
"You go in! Don't show your face, accompany your mother well. When the day dawns, there should be an explanation. β
"Hmm." Ming Xiang took two steps inside, then turned back, "Fourth brother, you are also very good." β
MSCI almost burst into tears.
β¦β¦
Seeing that the mountain fire was extinguished and the way down the mountain was not yet open, there were officials in the hall who wanted to rest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he was blocked back by two fierce guards.
"What is this for? I just want to rest, why are you blocking it? β
The guard guarding the door was cold: "Lord Jiang has ordered, you can stay here for the time being." β
The official was stunned: "Why are you staying here?" Why should the good ones put us under house arrest? β
The guard only glanced at him: "That's what your lord commands, and that's what we do." β
He didn't even give a word of explanation.
The official was extremely angry and went to complain to the Wu Governor's Mansion: "Lord Futai, look at this...... What did we do? Just came to a Buddha bathing festival, and was actually grounded? β
Governor Wu knew the inside story, he glanced at the king of Qidong County, and saw that the other party was honest and unmoving, so he said: "Master Jiang said this, it makes sense, let's wait first." β
But I didn't know that the king of Qidong County was up and down at the moment.
He listened to Mr. Wu's advice and decided to withdraw in time and threw Ming San out. Now that he knows what Jiang Wenfeng went out for, he is even more reluctant to make trouble.
The prefect of Wu did not come out, and the king of Qidong County also acquiesced, and the room full of officials and gentry was detained like this.
After a while, the sound of soldiers and horses stepping outside sounded, which shocked them even more.
What happened, the troops were actually dispatched?
Fortunately, these soldiers and horses did not rush in to arrest people, but the guards outside the hall were more strict.
After waiting for half an hour, a voice finally came from outside: "Humble Li Chuan guards Jiao Zhi, see Master Jiang!" β
Li Chuan garrison? Li Chuan is the state capital next door, and he actually transferred soldiers from other places to come?
Those who are mixed with officialdom have a keen sense of smell, and when they hear it, they feel bad, and they just hope that this matter will not implicate themselves.
And some people with ghosts in their hearts frequently go to see the king of Qidong County.
"It's hard to get rid of General Jiao." Jiang Wenfeng's gentle voice came in.
Jiao Zhi responded loudly: "I don't dare to bear the hardships of adults." β
Jiang Wenfeng smiled: "Thanks to the general, this time can be so smooth, and this official will definitely be truthfully sacred." β
Jiao Zhi was excited, it is difficult for military attachΓ©s to make meritorious achievements in the local area, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Who said that this Lord Jiang only cares about his own reputation? Don't forget to share the credit for such a big event to others.
"Lord Xie promoted!"
Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "Don't bother the two masters for one thing, and ask the general to worry about the rest of the things." β
Jiao Zhi immediately patted his chest: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle this matter properly." β
"Okay, there's General Law."
Jiao Zhi shouted: "Brothers, go to work!" β
"Yes!"
The sound of footsteps and the clash of armor was heard again, followed by various shouts, as if the people who had been stranded in the temple had been expelled.
The hearts of the people in the hall fluctuated, and Jiang Wenfeng came in.
He still had the gentle and smiling appearance, but he couldn't appease these officials at the moment.
This Lord Jiang is always smiling at all times, who knows if he is also smiling when he kills.
It's weird, didn't he settle all the affairs of Dongning and prepare to leave? What did you come out of nowhere? Or have you found out what is wrong?
Phew! Crow's beak!
"Ladies and gentlemen." Jiang Wenfeng arched his hand with a smile, "Something happened in Baoling Temple, and now we need to evacuate the crowd as soon as possible, if these soldiers are offended, don't blame them." β
Well? Evacuating the crowd? So, didn't you come at them?
Governor Wu immediately got up and responded with a smile: "How dare you?" I just don't know what's going on? Master Jiang also said a word, so that we can have the bottom in our hearts! β
Jiang Wenfeng said lightly: "This Baoling Temple suppresses a demon, and I don't know who destroyed the magic circle. Now there are already Xuanshi rushing over, worried that something will happen, so they asked us to evacuate the crowd first. β
Wu Zhifu put down the big stone in his heart, but his face was shocked: "There is such a thing? But it was the dereliction of duty of the subordinate that he didn't know anything. β
"If this kind of thing is not reported to others in front of him, the official will not believe it, so what does it have to do with Lord Wu? Alright, time is pressing, so hurry up and get ready, we'll have to go down the mountain in no time. β
