Chapter 18: Locking Manichaeism

After a while, Liu Er also arrived with another wave of people, and when he saw that Xu Hui was injured, he hurriedly asked people to go to the hospital to invite Lang Zhong, and brought horses to let Xu Hui return home.

After diagnosis, Xu Hui only suffered some skin trauma, smeared some gold ointment, bandaged Lang Zhong and left, just let Xu Hui rest more and eat more supplements.

Late at night, Xu Hui lay in bed, recalling what happened tonight, who was going to take his life? The Feng family? Unlikely, those two people are professional assassins at first glance, although the Feng family is a wealthy family, but they can't find two such masters for a while. Who could that be? Xu Hui thought about the people he could provoke since he came to this world, exterminate the bandits of Fenglongshan from the poetry meeting, thinking of the bandits of Fenglongshan, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he got up and took out the token and letter, could it be that Manichaeism?

Manichaeism, also known as the Mingjiao in Jin Yong's novel, was introduced to the Central Plains from Persia and can be described as a professional rebel. A few years ago, Fang La's rebellion was under the banner of Manichaeism, but Fang La's rebellion has been exterminated, and this Manichaeism has also been hit hard, from the letter, Xu Hui knew that they were preparing to start up again in Zhending Mansion, and their own extermination of Fenglongshan hindered their plan to a certain extent, and they had a reason to kill me. Although Xu Hui doesn't know much about Manichaeism, there is no shortage of masters who want to come to the sect.

If Manichaeism is targeting itself, you really have to be careful, these so-called holy religions can't do anything else, they are very demagogic, and their power is spread over all levels, maybe one day an old farmer in front of them may be their killer.

It seems that I still have to talk to Li Miao once, and I think that Li Miao's open-mindedness will not be too much to investigate his greed for ink seizure.

The next day, he rested at home for a day, during which Yan Yi waited for Yan Ru to come to the house to visit, Yan Ru saw that his lover was injured, tears rolled in his eyes, and he didn't cry because of his father's presence, Xu Hui was relieved again.

Early in the morning of the third day, Xu Hui, who was wearing a bandage, came to Li Mansion to meet Li Miao. Soon came to Li Miao's study, and when he saw Xu Hui, Li Miao asked with concern: "I heard that Wen Qian was assassinated yesterday, Li was very anxious, was he seriously injured?" Why don't you recuperate at home? ”

"Uncle Li, the little nephew just suffered some skin injuries, and his body is fine, this little injury is not as good as my father's whip." Xu Hui said with a smile.

"You, Wen Qian, are already an official of the imperial court, and you are still not doing it right, so you have to be more careful in the future. Alas, I can't imagine that there will be such a night road interception and killing in my Zhending Mansion, is it really chaos? Li Miao sighed.

"Uncle Li, the little nephew is here today for this chaos." Li Miao stood up and saluted.

"Oh? Wen Qian said to listen to it. ”

"Uncle Li, please see this letter, it was found by me in the place where Liu Guangxiao hid the treasure in Fenglong Mountain." Xu Hui handed the letter and token to Li Miao.

Looking at the content of the letter, Li Miao's brows gradually furrowed, and Xu Hui also looked at Li Miao a little nervously.

"Wen Qian, this Manichaeism has come to my true determination, and it has developed a certain strength, I should report to the imperial court and ask soldiers to eliminate this remnant." Li Miao said indignantly, but he didn't say a word about Xu Hui's greed for ink and silver and concealment and non-reporting, and Xu Hui felt guilty in his heart.

"Uncle Li, now that the army is marching north, Zhending Mansion does not have enough troops to recruit and suppress Manichaean traitors, my father is about to take up the post of defense envoy, and I know that there are only 30,000 soldiers in the entire Hebei West Road now, and those who basically have combat effectiveness are concentrated in the Song-Liao border area, so they cannot be reckless. Besides, the traitors in the court are in charge, even if the uncle goes to the court, and now the court is working on the Northern Expedition, those ministers will suppress the concert and hide it. We still need to prepare for this by ourselves, and we need to brake quietly and figure it out slowly. Xu Hui explained.

Li Miao paced back and forth in the room with the letter, thinking about Xu Hui's words in his mind, indeed, now that the Northern Expedition is at a critical juncture, will the imperial court have the strength to take care of this little bandit? Thinking of this, Li Miao said to Xu Hui: "According to Wenqian's intentions, with static braking, slowly Tuzhi, you go back to Xujiabao in the next two days to prepare, on the one hand, seize the time to expand the militia and train new soldiers, on the other hand, urge your father to take office as soon as possible, I have a big matter to discuss." ”

"Yes."

Back in the house, Liu Eryu reported that Feng Chu sent 10,000 taels of gold in the name of rewarding the people's group, Xu Hui couldn't help but be happy, thinking that the Feng family was really rich, and it seemed that a little blackmail from time to time could also scrape off a lot of oil and water.

The next morning, he came to Yanfu to say goodbye, and Xu Hui took people back to Xujiabao.

As soon as I entered Xujiabao, I saw a family in the fort doing things, an old Taoist held a peachwood sword in his right hand, and a yellow talisman in his left hand.

So he asked people to bring the items back to the house, and brought Liu Er and Dai Qin to this house to watch the excitement.

"Buddha Amitayus, I have informed Emperor Haotian that your father's soul will ascend to the Elysian World, and bless you and other generations with good health." Qing Xuan pinched his fingers and said to the eldest son of the family.

This old Taoist can really fool, this Elysium is the holy land of other people's Buddhists, why do you send people up as a Taoist? Because people were doing white things, Xu Hui didn't laugh out loud.

"Ah, Yanai, you're back." At this time, someone saw Xu Hui and hurriedly saluted.

"It's Yanai who has returned." Everyone present saluted, at this time Xu Hui was no longer the bastard little overlord, since he singled out the two leaders of the bandits and exterminated Fenglong Mountain, Xu Hui has become a hero within a radius of dozens of miles from Xujiabao, and his prestige is close to Xu Chong.

Xu Hui stepped forward, said "festival condolences" to the victim, and saluted the deceased, turned his head to Qingxuan and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Qing Xuan's legs began to tremble when he saw Xu Hui coming in, he was very afraid of this urging Hades, and his flickering skills were not good for him at all. So he replied cautiously: "General Qiyu, Xiaodao, Xiaodao is also kind, that day I heard the sergeant on guard say that this family is dead, so I bravely asked the old general to do something for this family, the old general is kind-hearted, so he temporarily gave me freedom, but I can't leave Xujiabao." ”

"Oh? Are you fooling my dad again? Xu Hui glared, looked at Qing Xuan and said.

"No, no, how dare you do that." Qing Xuan hurriedly said.

"This, Yanei, Qingxuan Daoist is really enthusiastic, and he also confiscated my family's money, and I hope that Yanei will not blame." The eldest son of the family defended Qingxuan. Qing Xuan is really grateful, and the people of Xujiabao are really kind.

"Well, I won't pursue this matter, Qingxuan, you go to the study in my courtyard and wait for me, I have something to look for you." Xu Hui said coldly.

"Yes, yes, the trail will pass." Qing Xuan nodded and said.

When Xu Hui returned to the mansion, he first visited his father and mother, and conveyed Li Miao's words, and then rushed back to his courtyard in a hurry, because since he saw Qing Xuan, he thought of a thing that was enough to affect the situation of the war.
