Chapter 148: Fengyuan Master
Wu Di raised his head when he heard this, the county order was startled, Wu Di's eyes were red, and a powerful coercion mixed with anger looked at the county order.
The county commander immediately changed his tune and said to the soldiers: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and chase after you!"
The soldiers, armed with halberds, quickly rushed to the gate of the city to chase after the escaped Kazukaze and the others.
Xiaohong helped Wu Di up, tears burst into tears, and sobbed and said, "Old Wu, don't die, how can I live if you die?"
Wu Di stopped and said: "It's okay, it's just a little injury, but these monks are deeply cultivated, I'm afraid they have a lot of background." ”
At this time, the county commander interjected: "Wu Di, don't blame me for not reminding you, the official food you sent to escort was lost before leaving the city gate, and you and I can't get out of this matter." ”
Wu Di stared at the county order again, and the county order did not change his face this time and said: "It's useless for you to stare at me, and I can't help it." It's not that you don't know how difficult it is for the ministers in Junzhou City to serve. Forget it, the key is that the concubines in the palace love to eat this bite, and they are related to the ministers, and they make trouble with each other, making a big fuss about this matter, and I will be punished, but I'm afraid that you are a small county lieutenant, and you may have to be dismissed from the military and exiled!"
Seeing that Wu Di was stunned, his face was gloomy, and he smiled: "What's more, this is a few monks who made a fuss, especially in such a delicate situation now, I'm afraid that Confucianism and Taoism will make a big fuss." ”
Wu Di snorted coldly and slammed the wolf's tooth saber to the ground.
The county commander rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "However, it is not by chance that this old man is the head of this county, and there are people close to this old man in Junzhou City, as long as you," his smile was even worse, and he pointed to Xiaohong and said: "As long as you take Xiaohong away and return it to this master, this matter is still negotiable." ”
Wu Di was silent, but straightened his waist, lifted the saber, the saber whined, and walked towards the county order step by step. Xiaohong was crying behind her, but she was pulled by the county guard brought by the county order, and she couldn't stop her.
The county commander's face turned pale suddenly, and he trembled on the horse and said, "Wu, Wu Di, what do you want to do? Come quickly, protect me!"
The sparse group of county soldiers immediately surrounded Bai Ma, and the halberd pointed at Wu Di, looking at him with a panicked expression. They also knew Wu Di's fighting strength, and when they combined, it was not enough for him to swing a knife.
"I've put up with you for a long time, why did Anming County send you such a straw bale to be the county magistrate, because you are still a student from the Holy Academy, bah! It's a shame for you Cui Ming!" Wu Di scolded through gritted teeth as he walked.
Just when Wu Di's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and his murderous intent towards the county order was getting stronger and stronger, two people ran over from the direction of the city gate and shouted: "County Lieutenant Wu, county commander master, no, it's not good! The monk has killed someone!"
Wu Di suddenly stopped approaching, turned his head to look behind him, and saw a soldier with limp legs and feet, supported by the captain of the guard at the city gate, stumbling and running here.
When they ran in front of Wu Di with great difficulty, the soldier with inconvenient legs and feet, panting and incoherently said: "County, county lieutenant, report to the county commander, and, the monk has killed someone, killed hundreds, no, thousands of people!"
The captain of the city guard took a breath and said, "A few horses just rushed out, and we couldn't pull them, so we ran to the official road. When the victims saw that the wagons were full of food, nearly 100 victims rushed up to the horses, and they were stunned and pulled the horses, overturned the carriages, and robbed them of all the food! Even the horses were punched, kicked, and beaten to death with sticks! They were now eating horse meat with stone chips and broken bowls!
The county magistrate squinted his eyes when he heard this, but he showed a rare calmness, thoughtfully, but the more Wu Di listened, his face became more gloomy, and he said angrily: "Why don't you stop it, are you eating?"
The captain of the city guard smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "County Lieutenant, there are only ten of us, and we usually do not allow the victims to enter the city, and we have already offended the victims who are stationed here on the official road, and if we want to stop them, I am afraid that we will also be killed by them, and we will be eaten separately! Two monks and a girl rushed out from behind, and we didn't see it clearly, and the figure disappeared in a flash." ”
Wu Di stiffened his face, turned his head to the lame soldier and asked, "Have you finished breathing, tell me carefully, what's going on!"
The lame soldier swallowed his saliva and said, "The county commander, the county lieutenant, the little one listened to the dispatch of the county lieutenant Wu to check the riots reported by the victims dozens of miles south of the official road, and this trip really didn't scare me to death!"
"I saw a few monks, old and young, men and women, about seven or eight, actually killing thousands of people! In the valley in front of that small mountain temple, there were all dead people, and the methods were very cruel, and the bodies of the victims were cut to pieces by them, where are these monks, it is simply a hell demon!"
Wu Di's eyebrows were twisted together, and he shouted, "If that's the case, do you see it clearly?"
The lame soldier patted his chest and said: "Look at it really, I was so scared that I was about to vomit, in order to inform the two masters of the news as soon as possible, I broke my leg while running on the road and didn't snort much, I was desperate to come back!" said and looked at the county magistrate flatteringly.
The county commander nodded and said, "Then do you know where they are monks?"
The captain of the city guard saw that this was an opportunity to invite merit, and hurriedly said: "Report to the county commander, when the two monks who just ran out entered the city gate, they said that they were monks from Nanzong Temple! When they first entered the city, their robes were stained with blood, and I am afraid that they were the ones who killed people!"
"Nanzong Temple?" both the county commander and Wu Di couldn't help but shout.
The captain of the city guard was even more proud, pushed away the lame soldier leaning on him, walked to the white horse, handed something to the county commander, and said: "Lord County Commander, this is the money they bribed me when they entered the city, I wanted to report to the county commander after the change of guard, but I didn't expect that they not only killed civilians, but also made trouble in Anming County, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”
The soldier in front of the horse handed the broken silver to the county commander, and the county commander's fat little hand played with the silver in his hand, bowing his head and thinking.
Wu Di regained his senses, held his saber in his hand, and bowed his hand to him: "Lord Dong, please order me to lead the troops to capture them!"
The county magistrate didn't raise his head, and sneered: "It's up to you, I saw it just now, the three of them beat you to vomit blood, if there are seven or eight, hum······ Even if you take these nearly 100 people you trained to chase after them, they have killed thousands of people, can you come back alive?"
Xiaohong cried from behind at this time: "Old Wu, don't go, I won't live if you die!"
The county commander frowned, raised his head and looked at Xiaohong, and then looked at Wu Di and said, "I will report this matter to Shangfeng as soon as possible, and let the above send someone to deal with it." Hmph, what do you know? The monk of Nanzong Temple killed thousands of disaster victims and robbed the official grain in Anming County, do you know what this means?
"To put it mildly, it is a few monks who have apostasy, but to talk about the main point, that is, the rebellion of Buddhism and Taoism! In the current delicate situation of the three religions of the Great Wu Kingdom, you and I should not easily get involved in this kind of thing, this is the best policy.
"You only know how to fight, kill and kill, even if you go to the army, without brains, it will be in vain with how much of your military exploits! Don't you see the fate of the former god of war Yuluo? I heard that he is dead, and he can't even find the corpse!"
County Lieutenant Wu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Dong County Ling blankly.
But Dong County Ling ignored him, turned the horse's head, turned his back, the horse's hooves hit the ground, and walked forward, Dong County Ling didn't look back and said: "Go and take back the soldiers who are chasing people, even if you hide it from me, I know that you have opened up the relationship and are going to the army."
"With this incident, and as a piece of advice I give you, the army is not just about blindly killing, the really promising generals are all old and calculating, be careful that you don't get your military achievements, but lose your life. ”
After the county order was finished, a horse's belly, the white horse stepped on the stone street, ran into the distance, his fat body, the flesh shook and shook, almost bent the horse's waist span, and the dozen or so sparse soldiers hurriedly put away their halberds and kept up with the horse's buttocks.
The captain of the city guard and the lame soldier looked at each other, at a loss, and this invitation did not seem to be as smooth and happy as they had imagined.
Wu Di looked at his departing back silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.
If the county order is the parent official of a county, it will definitely be unqualified, and if he is an old oilman in the officialdom, he is a master of the left and right.
He now understands a little bit that if he goes to hunt down and kill the monk just now, he may indeed return in vain, and he may lose his life, and most importantly, it is impossible for the imperial court to sit idly by, and it may even provoke contradictions between the three religions.
And the practice of the county order is to give up the hot potato to the top. If they want to make a fuss about it, they will go to it, and they may think of them as county officials if they have merit afterwards. If there is, then they are also truthful, and if this is the case, they cannot be held accountable.
Usually I didn't see that the county commander's mind was so keen, he actually knew that he was going to the army, and he actually didn't stop him? However, is it as he said, the army will also be so complicated?
There is another point that he doesn't understand very much now, how can Nanzong Temple, as the second largest giant of Buddhism, not figure it out and kill thousands of victims for no reason?
