Chapter 269: Star Picking Tower

"Report to the little grandfather, the remnants of the White Lotus have all been killed, and nothing is missing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As everyone was talking, they saw a thousand households walking up, bowing down and saying.

The robe on his body was still stained with blood, and a terrible aura came from his body. In Fang Hong's eyes, this person was like a raging flame, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Such a person, because he has killed too many people, has a mixture of evil spirit and death intent, and can avoid evil. Ordinary soldiers were not allowed to enter temples or Taoist temples for fear of colliding with the gods.

"Okay, you go back and report the matter here to the Governor's Mansion, and then you can get some credit for going to the capital. Xu Kuibi waved his hand and let the thousand households go down first.

"Thank you, little grandfather. "Now that most of the battles are in the north of the Yangtze River, these soldiers stationed in Jinling City have no chance to gain credit, and this time they can also add to their resumes by capturing the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

"Brother Hong, let's go back to the city first, the frost is heavy at this time, and it's not good to spend the night outside. After finishing the order, Xu Kuibi turned around and said to Fang Hong.

"This Brother Hong doesn't have to be called anymore, my real name is Fang Hong, you just call me by my name. "Now that the true appearance has been revealed, this pseudonym is no longer necessary.

"Haha, I just feel awkward. Xu Kuibi didn't make a cowardly gesture, and immediately laughed. It's been a whole day for him to call a big brother who is so young, and he really can't open his mouth.

......

When the White Lotus taught the Holy Maiden, it was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and the losses were very heavy, and the matter soon spread throughout the country. In addition to the spread of well-informed people, there is also the deliberate promotion of the imperial court.

Now Liu Liu and Liu Qi are entrenched in the middle, cutting off everything in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the momentum is unmatched for a while. Many people in the rivers and lakes are also ready to move, thinking about whether they have taken refuge in the rebels and fight for wealth. But the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect poured a bucket of cold water on them. Although the imperial court was caught off guard by the rebels, it was not something that they could provoke. For a time, the rivers and lakes were a lot more stable.

Among them, the most terrifying is the White Lotus Sect. In this incident, the White Lotus Sect killed more than 300 people, and except for the five elders, the rest were some devout believers. As soon as these people died, many ordinary disciples of the White Lotus Sect lost their ideas and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xie Chaoyu made a move at this time, and she sent Zhao Yide and others to various places to appease the believers. And selected a group of people who were loyal to themselves, and quickly filled the vacancies, so that the White Lotus Sect was also quickly stabilized.

And at this time, the White Lotus Sect had a somewhat unified atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed. Jinling City in December was covered with a layer of white makeup, and it was white everywhere, but the Qinhuai River was still very lively and bustling, and it was not a little less lively because of such a cold.

In a place about a few hundred steps away from the Qinhuai River, there is a hundred-foot tall building, called the Star Picking Tower. Take its meaning of "dangerous buildings are 100 feet high, and you can pick up the stars by hand".

However, this building is really quite high, sitting on the upper floor, you can overlook the entire Jinling City. The bustling Qinhuai River flows under its feet, and there is an illusion that everything is in the palm of your hand.

On the top floor of this building, the room is warm, and there is a small red clay stove on one side. The stove is burning with animal charcoal, and the smell is not flushed at all, but there are wisps of fragrance. A pot of sake is boiling on the stove, while a pile of food is placed on the side.

Fang Hong and Xu Kuibi sat on one side, Xu Kuibi would occasionally add some beast charcoal to the stove, while Fang Hong was concentrating on dealing with the food in front of him.

In the few months in Jinling, Xu Kuibi invited Fang Hong to dinner every three or five days. Although Fang Hong is rich, but in this world, you can't be rich, the real chef, unless he is a powerful person, he won't cook it for you. And Xu Kuibi's status is high enough, who in Jinling City dares not to buy his face?

In the entire Jinling City, the top delicacy is still in the Star Picking Tower, and every time Fang Hong eats it, his belly is swollen, and he exhales with joy. However, what makes people feel strange is that no matter how much he eats, this body is still so thin, and there is no sign of growing flesh.

"Brother Hong, I have something to tell you, I hope you can listen to it. After Fang Hong was half-full, Xu Kuibi picked up the wine jug, poured wine for the two, and suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Fang Hong was a little strange, Xu Kuibi rarely spoke to him in such a formal tone, which made him can't help but put down the chicken leg in his hand.

"Brother Hong, I know that your mind is sincere, and you don't have any thoughts of good or evil in your heart, but this White Lotus Sect is a thief wanted by the imperial court, so it's better for you to have less contact with them. Xu Kuibi paused for a moment, and then spoke.

He promised Fang Hong not to kill the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect and those altar masters, but it did not mean that he could tolerate the existence of the White Lotus Sect. Now with the help of his hands, he has killed many pious members of the White Lotus Sect, on the surface, the White Lotus Sect has suffered heavy losses, but in fact, the power has been greatly integrated, and the overall strength has risen instead of falling.

Once the White Lotus Sect becomes a hot season, the imperial court will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it. Xu Kuibi is the future prince of the country, commanding the affairs of the southern army, if Fang Hong and the White Lotus Sect are too deeply involved, it will be difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

"I also know what you think, don't worry, in the future, this White Lotus Sect, you should kill or kill, just my father and that Xie Chaoyu, just leave them alive." Fang Hong smiled, what a big deal he should be. He didn't have much affection for the White Lotus Sect itself, and he didn't bother to mix up with the mess in it.

"With your words, I am relieved. Xu Kuibi also laughed, he still cared about Fang Hong's attitude, in case Fang Hong made up his mind to protect the White Lotus Sect, he couldn't do anything.

"Eat, eat, this heaven and earth are big, and they are not as big as their own stomachs. Fang Hong shook his head, and continued to pick up the roast chicken and bite it. He himself didn't want to be involved in the White Lotus Sect, if it weren't for his father, he would have returned to Changning a long time ago.

"Brother Hong, I found one thing, are you interested in the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, according to your character, you shouldn't care if that woman lives or dies?" Xu Kuibi drank a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Don't say it, that woman is really beautiful, and if she can marry home, it will be good. Fang Hong was not ashamed, but said with a big grin. He has practiced this cheek, and he is invulnerable.

He likes it, he likes it, he hates it, and there's nothing to say. Xie Chaoyu is beautiful, and it is normal for him to have a good impression.
