Chapter Ninety-Five: A Surprise Attack
"I have found the Venerable Master's envoy," Lu Zhizhen said.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers who blocked Lu Zhizhen's way turned around when they heard this and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”
Lu Zhizhen was taken aback when he saw this, he didn't expect these soldiers to let himself in so easily. However, the current situation couldn't help Lu Zhizhen think too much, and he shouted as he walked inside: "The True Master, where is the True Master?" ”
At the door of the main house, Lu Zhizhen met the Venerable Master who greeted him. The Venerable Master was tall, white-faced and bearded, and looked calm and relaxed. Lu Zhizhen hurriedly said: "Cheng Shaoqing is crazy, he is going to do it." The Venerable Master, and all of you, please take a look, the one surnamed Cheng dares to surround your envoy group as well, isn't this preparing to attack us? The True Master, Cheng Shaoqing has now completely exposed his true face as an enemy of me, and he is now going to do something to us. Under the pretext that someone had mobilized the sailors without authorization, he arrested Wei Dalong, the deputy admiral of the sailors of his sect, and he also wanted to arrest all the people in the army under his control. He threatened to expel all the Fire Spirit Sect disciples in the Jar Sentence Hall, this was a surprise attack! This is a persecution! ”
Unlike Lu Zhizhen, who was in a state of high spirits, the Venerable Master was extraordinarily calm, he looked at Lu Zhizhen's flushed face, and seemed to add, "He also said that he would drive away our Fire Spirit Sect Envoy Mission, right?" ”
In this way, Lu Zhizhen was a little surprised, he didn't understand why these envoys from Beiju Luzhou were so calm. Lu Zhizhen continued to say anxiously: "Right now, our most important task is to fight back, mobilize all forces to fight back against them, I want to hear your opinions." ”
Unexpectedly, the True Master took a sip of the wine in front of him, and said indifferently: "Lu Daoyou, this ...... Now the situation is relatively sudden, we have not yet got in touch with Cheng Shaoqing, and we don't know what action he will take next, maybe it is an incident, maybe it is a misunderstanding. We must not act rashly until we have received information. ”
Lu Zhizhen felt that the Venerable Master was a little unreasonable, how could such a serious matter be a misunderstanding? All misunderstandings in the East are just excuses, or self-deception. He said helplessly, "True Master, to tell you the truth, your point of view really surprised me. ”
"Come on, have a toast first." The Venerable Master held up the wine in front of him and said, "Once you make a mistake, you can't regret it in reality." So, it's time to be undecided, don't you agree? ”
Lu Zhizhen couldn't control his emotions a little, he snatched the Venerable Master's wine glass and said, "Now is not the time to drink, Cheng Shaoqing's butcher's knife is on his head, I can't calm down." As he spoke, he slammed his wine glass and walked away, and several envoys from Beiju Luzhou looked at each other. The Venerable Master was not angry, poured another glass of wine, and continued to drink.
The armory of Nanhai County has been severely sealed by military personnel, and Li Daochun rode a white horse to the armory before being stopped by a small colonel guarding the door: "I'm sorry, General Li can't enter here now." ”
Li Daochun said: "Get out of the way, I have something urgent to take over from the superintendent." ”
The troops guarding the gate saw that Li Daochun was coming, so a few more soldiers came up, and they all stopped Li Daochun and said, "The governor army is not here, the overseer army is not here now." ”
Li Daochun didn't listen to them, and just went to the door. He said to the little school that had been blocking him, "I see that you are also a student of the Tianzi Department in the hall, you dare to stop me, don't you know who I am?" ”
The junior colonel was stumbling, his face was embarrassed, and he pleaded: "General Li, do you have a special pass?" This time, the military order of the Governor of the Inspectorate was very strict, and he would never be able to enter without a pass. We also obeyed the military order and begged General Li not to be embarrassed. ”
"I'm Li Daochun."
"General Li, General Li, you really can't enter."
Li Daochun listened to these nonsense and went straight to the ground, and said as he broke through: "Don't stop me, don't stop me." A few soldiers didn't dare to use force, so they could only persuade each other bitterly on the side, and Li Daochun strode towards the armory.
Cheng Shaoqing had already heard the report inside, and at this time he also walked out with a few personal guards, and saw Li Daochun shouting: "Chief Inspector, Cheng Inspector." "While rushing in front of himself. Seeing that Cheng Shaoqing was menacing, several pro-soldiers also started to hold Li Daochun's arm and prevent Li Daochun from breaking forward.
"Let go." Cheng Shaoqing commanded.
"Chief Inspector, now the Heavenly Pivot Army and the Fire Spirit disciples of the Sentence Hall are all detained here, aren't they? I have also heard that it was ordered by the Governor himself. ”
"Dao Chun, there is a reason for the incident, I can't say clearly for a while, as for the fire spirit disciples in the army, they have all been protected by us, so you don't need to worry."
"Inspector General," Li Daochun asked, "we fought bloodily against Fan Luobai's rebels on the Dongjiang front, but in the rear, the disciples of this sect were tied up with five flowers, I just want to ask why today?" ”
"Daochun, things are very complicated," Cheng Shaoqing forcibly suppressed his anger, stepped forward, and said to Li Daochun through gritted teeth: "Someone is going to murder me, to murder the White Lotus Holy Sect, the situation is very urgent You have also seen it, General He Jiuxian has been urgently transferred back from the front line by me." ”
He Jiuxian, a general of the Tianshu Army, known as the First Army of the White Lotus, stepped forward to explain for Cheng Shaoqing: "General Li Rongyu, the situation is indeed very complicated, and the chief inspector is also helpless. ”
"Chief Inspector, we Fire Spirit Sect people regard the cooperation between the two religions as our lives, you can't beat people without evidence, if you don't let people go, I won't leave."
Cheng Shaoqing didn't laugh angrily, and said: "Hit the board, you said that I hit the board, then I really want to hit the board of the fire spirit disciples in my Tianshu Army." Wei Dalong wants to kidnap me, do you know? They want to tie me up on a military ship and take it all the way to Beiju Luzhou, this is a big conspiracy! ”
"It's absolutely impossible!"
"You listen to me," Cheng Shaoqing yelled, "Li Daochun! I have already found out that the people who are going to kidnap me this time are all fire spirit disciples in the Tianshu Army, so I can't let go of any of these detained people. ”
Li Daochun said in a hurry: "Absolutely not, you can't do this, you are a sinner of the Holy Sect if you do this." ”
He Jiuxian said on the side: "You can't be so disrespectful to the Chief Inspector. ”
"Li Daochun!" Cheng Shaoqing said angrily, "Since you said that I am a sinner of the Holy Sect, then it is very good, since you have come by yourself, you can save me from sending someone to find you, so you can stay with those rebels." ”
