Volume 1 - Acquaintance and Parting Chapter 17 - The Death of the King of Chu!

"Quick, quick! Fence off the temple for me! ”

Outside the White Horse Temple, a large number of Jin troops gathered to block the water around the White Horse Temple.

When the pilgrims in the temple saw this, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and the little monk guarding the door also hurriedly reported inside. After a while, Puhui rushed over with his disciples when he heard the news.

"Hurry up and get out of the temple that doesn't matter!"

"Get out! Get out! ”

The Jin army is viciously expelling pilgrims from the temple.

"Amitabha, what is the matter with the benefactor so much to mobilize the people?" Pratt & Whitney was dressed in a robe, holding Buddhist beads, and saluted the generals headed by him.

"Humph! What's the matter? We suspect that this temple is hiding a prisoner of the imperial court! We're going to go in and search! ”

When the leading general saw Puhui's gray hair, he naturally didn't put it in his eyes, and shouted sharply with his eyebrows.

"You..."

Seeing this, the warrior monk standing behind Pratt & Whitney was about to get angry, but was stopped by Pratt & Whitney reaching out.

"Amitabha, the donor is too angry, and I hope the donor won't be angry! The White Horse Temple is a pure land of Buddhism, how can it be searched by swords and soldiers at will? Pratt & Whitney said again.

"Give me less of what a Buddha, what kind of Buddha do you care, what kind of pure land Buddha does Lao Tzu care about you?! Dead old man, I advise you to hand over the man quickly, or when the time comes, the knife in my hand will be opened at your juncture! ”

"Smack!"

As soon as the general's words fell, he was kicked to the ground and fell into the mud.

"Ahh.....h Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu? I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

The general got up and was about to scold, when he looked up, he saw Sima Wei and a group of generals standing behind him, and hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Smack!" Another kick, and the general was kicked to the ground again, but unlike just now, this time it was on all fours! Before the general could get up, Sima Wei stepped up to his collar and pointed to the plaque of "Daxiong Treasure Palace" and said, "Are you blind or illiterate?!" Well!? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Little literacy, little literacy!"

"Why don't you apologize to Master Pratt & Whitney?!"

"Yes, yes, the small one will apologize to Master Pratt & Whitney!"

After that, the general bowed and apologized to the monks of Puhui and Puhui one after another.

"Amitabha, the prodigal son does not change his money, and the donor doesn't have to blame himself too much!" Pratt & Whitney folded his hands when he saw this.

The general thanked him repeatedly, and then hid to the side.

"Pratt & Whitney Master! The king heard that there were court criminals in your temple, so he brought troops to arrest him, and hoped that the master would be able to make it convenient. Sima Wei stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Amitabha, this temple is the realm of Buddhism, Lao Qu only recites scriptures in the temple on weekdays, advocating people's hearts to be good. I don't know if the people in the temple are the imperial court criminals, and I ask Your Highness to raise your noble hand, don't disturb this Pure Land!"

Master Puhui stepped forward and also saluted Sima Wei, and said unhurriedly with his eyes closed.

Sima Wei smiled when he heard this: "What the abbot said is good, but this so-called Pure Land of Buddhism is also on the territory of my dynasty......

"Amitabha, Your Highness's words are wrong! The four great sayings of Buddhism are empty, and everything in the world is like a dream bubble, like electricity and dew! I hope His Highness can know. ”

When Sima Wei heard this, he immediately raised his head and laughed, and then stepped forward and whispered in Puhui's ear: "What about the four big ones being empty?" Abbot, I hope you understand whether this White Horse Temple is a pure land or a blood land, but this king has the final say!"

"Come on, search for this king, don't let go of a place!"

"No!"

As soon as Sima Wei gave the order, his subordinates immediately began to search, and the warrior monk standing behind Puhui was about to step forward to stop him when he heard it, but he was stopped by Puhui Puhui.

At this moment, a general suddenly rushed in from outside the temple and whispered a few words in Sima Wei's ear. After hearing this, Sima Wei nodded.

"Master Pratt & Whitney, the juniors will come to visit next time! Collect the troops!" Sima Wei said that, and immediately left with the generals.

Only the monks in the White Horse Temple were left messy in the wind.

..............

Sima Wei, who left the temple, handed over the power of leading the troops to Xu Ming and Zhang Yu without saying a word, turned over and went straight to the palace with Jia Xijie.

When Xu Ming and Zhang Yu were at a loss, Sima Wei and Jia Xijie were already far apart.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here? Panicked? ”

"I don't know! But seeing that His Highness is so anxious, it may be that there is something in the palace! ”

"No matter, let's go, Lao Zhang will take the brothers back first, let's go to the drunken fairy building and rub it!"

"Good! You're in for a treat! ”

"Well, I'm in for a treat!"

…………

In the White Horse Temple, the monks looked at the officials and soldiers who came and went in a hurry, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Amitabha, it's okay, it's okay, everyone is gone! Fa Yin, Fa Guo, you two close the temple door first, and no longer accept incense today, Fa Kong, Fa Ming, you two come with me!"

After evacuating the monks, Pratt & Whitney said to the two warrior monks behind him who were armed with sticks.

"Third Senior Brother, what did you say the master asked Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother to do?" A little monk asked the slightly older brother beside him.

"I don't know, I think there's something to find them, right?"

"Senior brother, come and help!"

"Here we go! Little junior brother, you go and do things first! I have to help the fourth junior brother! Fain responded, and then rushed over to help.

Seeing this, Fa Zhi had no choice but to touch his bare little head, take the bucket on the ground, and walk towards the back mountain.

Apse

"Fakong, Fa Ming, you two are the eldest of all the senior brothers, and you two have to handle things for the teacher!"

"But according to the master's orders." The two of them bowed together.

"According to today's situation, the whereabouts of Zhang Xiaoshi's people have been exposed, and the teacher wants you two to go to the city to inquire about the news."

"Obey the master's orders!"

"Good! The two of you can enter the city tomorrow, remember not to break the five precepts, otherwise you will be expelled from the school!" Pratt & Whitney is majestic.

"The apprentice will live up to the master's expectations!"

…………

The king of Chu and Jia Xijie rode their horses all the way, and at this moment they had arrived under the imperial city.

When the two arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they immediately dismounted and entered the city, and the soldiers on duty saw that the person who came was Sima Wei, and immediately put him into the city.

Sima Wei entered the city gate, walked in a hurry, and went straight to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart. Along the way, there was not a single palace maid and chamberlain, Sima Wei couldn't help but wonder secretly, but he still stepped up, after all, it was the Son of Heaven who secretly summoned him, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off easily.

Let's say that Sima Wei ran all the way to the Shendu Bridge, which was the only way for civil and military officials to pass in the early dynasties.

Looking at the stone monument in front of the Chaoxi Bridge, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and said: "The name of this bridge is unknown, I should revise it for Your Majesty!"

When Jia Xijie heard this, he smiled and said, "It's just a bridge name, and the king of Chu is too worried!" ”

Sima Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stopped answering, and strode towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When he came to His Royal Highness Nourishing Heart, Sima Wei couldn't help but wonder when he saw that there was no one in front of the usually heavily guarded Nourishing Heart Palace.

At this moment, I saw an inner attendant appear on the high platform, and I only heard the inner attendant say: "Please also ask the king of Chu to enter the palace quickly, Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time." ”

When Sima Wei heard this, he took three steps and did five steps, and went straight to the main hall. Jacijay, who had been following him, stopped at this moment.

When he came to the door of the palace, the chamberlain urged Sima Wei to enter the palace again, and Sima Wei did not hesitate to step into the palace!

"Bang!"

The next moment, the incomparably wide door of the temple was suddenly slammed shut, making a loud noise.

"What for?!"

Sima Wei was shocked, shouted, and wanted to pull the door of the hall, but only heard a sound behind him, and dozens of axes rushed out of the inner hall and surrounded Sima Wei in the hall.

When Sima Wei heard this, he turned around and looked at it, and when he saw that it was Zhou, he couldn't help but say angrily: "General Zhou, what does this mean?" Do you want to rebel?!"

Zhou Chu laughed when he heard this: "Rebellion?!" In the eyes of the King of Chu, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and I am afraid that there is no one who does not have the intention of rebellion, right?!"

However, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you King Chu today! General Ben is not only not a rebel today, but is ordered to kill the traitor!

His Majesty's secret edict is here, Sima Wei privately issued a secret edict, slaughtering Zhongliang, it is a conspiracy and rebellion, and everyone will be punished! Today, cut off the title of King Sima Weichu and kill him on the spot! Where's the axeman?!"

I saw Zhou Shi throw the secret edict in his hand to the ground, and then shouted, and dozens of knife and axe men in the hall went straight to Sima Wei.

When Sima Wei, whose face was as dead as ashes, heard this, he immediately drew his sword and resisted stubbornly. However, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and heroes can't stand many people. In less than a moment, Sima Wei was already scarred, and blood was gushing like a spring.

"Woohoo, I didn't listen to the old thief the day before yesterday, and I didn't want to be here today......"

Before the words fell, he was still very beautiful before, and the king of Chu, who held great power and was invincible, had been added with a knife and axe and cut into pulp!

Kunning Palace

Emperor Hui, Empress Jia and Zhang Hua were overjoyed when they learned that Zhou had succeeded.

After the great joy, Empress Jia said to Zhang Hua: "The traitor has been executed, and the remaining sins are still inches." The survival of the Sima clan is all in Aiqing alone! I've sent my cousin to Qian'anmen to garrison!"

When Zhang Hua heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, you can rest assured, the minister will come when he goes!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately took out the holy decree that had been prepared from his sleeve and went straight to the outside of the hall.
