Chapter Eighty-Six: Senior Brother
In recent years, the Ming Sect has made great progress by relying on the power of the dragon, but unfortunately, there is a natural contradiction between its teachings and the ruling class of the empire, and I am afraid that the imperial court has long had the intention of doing it. And Jin Yuanzheng, who faked his death, couldn't find the opportunity to return to the court openly, isn't this there?
The so-called dispute between King Su and Jin Yuanzheng is just a pretense, which first arouses people's curiosity, so as to provoke the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, and after the water is a little turbid, the news and the whereabouts of the fate are released little by little, and finally the bait of the treasure map is thrown.
He wondered before, how could Jin Yuanzheng put his retreat in the border fortress of Liangzhou, where the north was the territory of the Mongols, and the Mongols hated this former Shoufu to the core. But Yuanxing brought Hong Qingyao here along the way, clearly telling people that Jin Yuanzheng's purpose was here, you must know that Manichaeism, the predecessor of Mingjiao, was introduced to the Central Plains through the Western Regions.
But just looking at the calmness of evacuating the city today, I am afraid that the movement in Liangzhou City today is already under the control of the imperial court, no matter whether it is the Ming Sect that caused this turmoil or not, as long as there are disciples in the city, they will not be able to escape the charge of rebellion.
If what he expected, the Governor's Mansion or garrison in various places should start to purge the Ming Sect disciples at this moment, no matter how far things go, this credit is enough to make Jin Yuanzheng reappear in front of the world.
He is only in his sixties this year, and if he takes good care, he may be able to fight for another twenty years. Compared with the desire to control power, the younger brother of the year naturally said that he would sell it and sell it, and by the way, he cleaned up some of the Jianghu forces who were dissatisfied with him, as for those who participated because of greed, it can only be said that they were unlucky. The imperial court, King Su and him all benefited, and Dumingjiao and some Jianghu forces suffered losses, wouldn't they all be happy?
Afterwards, Zhuge Yuanxing's mind was chaotic, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Hong Qingyao on the side, but he didn't know if the murder of this girl's parents was part of the plan, if so, it was really ruthless.
No, since he can send a master like Yang Le'an to pick him up, he should still have some conscience, so he won't ......
Thinking like this in his heart, a cool breath rushed straight to his head, making him shiver.
Yang Le'an stared at Yuan Xing, seeing that his expression became unstable, he seemed to have remembered something, his face became depressed, he sighed, and lowered his head to drink tea. In an instant, the atmosphere in the cabin became extremely dull.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation outside, and a few people in the cabin came back to their senses.
"My lord, there is a big ship in front of you, it seems to be the Overseer's Mansion." A sailor came in to report.
Yang Le'an's face remained unchanged, but his tone was very cold: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from these people." ”
Yuan Xing's heart moved when he heard this, and he thought of the Luo steward who stayed in the city, and it seemed that the Governor's Mansion was really involved in this matter.
At this time, a hearty laugh had reached the cabin: "Monk Yuanxing, don't you come out to meet the old man?" ”
Yuan Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then walked quickly to the deck, only to see a warship downstream across the water, and there were many warriors with bows and crossbows standing on the deck. ”
"It's not me." That person laughed even louder, it was the third senior brother Ning Mu, who had been vulgar for a long time.
Yuan Xing was impatient and ready to jump to the opposite boat, but who knew that the corners of his clothes were tightly pulled, he didn't care about anything else, and directly picked up the little girl and flew over.
"It's a light effort." Ning Mu praised, waited for Yuan Xing to fall to the deck, looked him up and down, and then said, "I see that you have really grown a lot over the years." ”
"Amitabha, I've seen the third senior brother." Yuan Xing put Hong Qingyao down, folded his hands and saluted, and saw that the senior brother was wearing the clothes of the Governor's Mansion, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is the senior brother here?" Also ......"
"It's a long story." Ning Mu waved his hand and glanced at the other side: "Lord Yang also got on the boat for a drink?" ”
"Hmph, don't dare to disturb." Yang Le'an glanced at Yuan Xing and Hong Qingyao at his feet, and then turned his head away with a snort.
Ning Mu pursed his lips and ordered outside: "Let's go too." After saying that, he pulled Yuan Xing and entered the cabin.
"How did Senior Brother know I was here?" As soon as he took his seat, Yuan Xing expressed his doubts.
Ning Mu didn't answer directly, but looked at Hong Qingyao with a smile: "Where did the little novice come from?" It's weird and cute, it's like when you were a kid. ”
Yuan Xing resisted the urge to roll his eyes, he didn't believe that the other party didn't know the details of the little girl, but with just this sentence, the strangeness between the brothers and sisters because they hadn't seen each other for many years was wiped out. With the senior brother who has been with him for ten years, he seems to have returned to the state of the temple, and there is no longer the dullness and detachment of the past, perhaps, this is his more real side.
After joking, Ning Mucai said with a straight face: "Do you eat dry rice when you are the people in Kaifeng's Governor's Mansion?" Within a few days, your whereabouts were found out, and coupled with the Zhang Du Mu that Jin Yuan was handling, wouldn't it be clear to tell us where you were? Then he snorted coldly: "That old fox has a good calculation, fortunately you are smart and did not mention the name of Yuanchen, otherwise wouldn't it be as he wanted?" ”
Yuan Xing touched his bald head, and looked at Hong Qingyao beside him with some embarrassment, how could he say such a thing about his grandfather in front of the girl?
Seeing that the girl was still expressionless, he coughed dryly, and then expressed the doubts in his heart: "How could Senior Brother enter the Governor's Mansion?" Well, what does this have to do with the second senior brother? ”
Ning Mu stared at him for a long time when he heard this, until Yuan Xing was a little hairy, and then he suddenly slapped his legs and laughed: "I see, you don't know, hahaha......"
Yuan Xing already had a guess in his heart at this time, and sure enough, after the laughter, Ning Mu wiped his tears and explained to him: "My entry into the Governor's Mansion is a family arrangement, and Yuanchen's father is the Governor of the Governor's Mansion. ”
After a pause, his voice gradually turned cold: "The Overseer Mansion came forward to protect you, wouldn't his plan be even more impeccable?" I'm afraid there will be more people who go into the urn when they pour it, and if they really want him to catch a big fish, the credit will naturally be more beautiful, but aren't we people who are desperate and tired? Even if the final plan fails, someone will share the pressure with him, and this old fox really doesn't want to suffer at all. ”
"Is that so?" Yuan Xing's eyes widened, he really couldn't imagine that his second senior brother who was like a stuffy gourd had such a big background, and finally understood why Jin Yuanzheng had to escort Hong Qingyao by himself, how did this brain grow?
"I haven't figured out the matter of Senior Brother Yuanxin with him back then, and now I'm here to pit you again, is it really easy to bully as a monk?" Ning Mu clenched his fists, thought for a while and then said, "When we meet Senior Brother in Lanzhou, we have to sum it up, how can we not make this old guy too easy." ”
"Senior Brother is also there?"
"When I got the news that day, I was with my senior brother, and I knew that you were in danger, so I rushed here together." Ning Mu replied, but when he looked up, he saw that his face was surprised with some timidity, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of expression do you have?" After all these years outside, you really don't want him? He is the best for you in the temple. ”
"Thinking naturally is thinking...... "The voice of Yuanxing is getting smaller and smaller.
Ning Mu touched his chin and leaned over: "You won't do anything to be sorry for Senior Brother, right?" Or ......" glanced at this little junior brother for a long time, and saw that he looked extremely weak under his gaze, so he took a sharp breath and pointed at him: "You broke the vows?" ”
