Chapter 375: Thoughtful
Xiao Qin's face changed again and again, and finally let out a long sigh and made the last price.
"Two horses, two people walking."
Zhou Dao's face was discouraged, and he laughed miserably: "Good, good, good!" Thoughtful and thoughtful. ”
Xiao Qin's eyes didn't look at him, only stared at Xiao Feng: "Let's go out and pull the horse over!" ”
Xiao Feng waved his hand and the Ming army made way of a way, Xiao Qin took Gu Yue'er out of the crowd, Zhou Dao stood still, and was surrounded by the Ming army again in an instant.
Yu Dayou and An Qingyue followed closely behind Xiao Qin and Gu Yue'er, and after getting out of the encirclement, Yu Dayou pulled over the two horses and buckled the reins in his hands.
Xiao Qin slowly let go of her hand, turned over and got on the horse with Gu Yue'er, glanced at Xiao Feng across thousands of troops, shook her head with a wry smile, and walked away.
When she entered the painting, she collapsed on the ground, An Qingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and walked towards the RV. Xiao Feng also untied Princess Chang An from the horse and walked into the RV with her.
Xiao Feng told An Qingyue: "The princess is this day and night, I am afraid that there will be blood marks on my legs and waist, so I asked Zhang Wuxin for medicine, helped her put it on, and then rubbed it for her to spread the blood stasis." ”
The two girls were lying side by side in the carriage, Princess Chang'an was tired, scared into the painting, and couldn't get up for a while. An Qingyue glared at Xiao Feng fiercely.
"What are you waiting to see yet?"
Xiao Feng withdrew from the carriage with a wry smile, and then heard An Qingyue exclaim: "Oh my God, my waist and legs are swollen!" How did you endure it? ”
That night, the army was stationed outside Taicang County, and the magistrate of Taicang County personally led the local gentry to come to the labor army.
The guards of the Taicang Guard have been despised by the people for so many years, but they don't
I thought that one day, I could become a hero myself.
This time, they were no longer the ones who were racing against the common people, they were soldiers standing in the way between the Japanese and the common people, and when a group of old people toasted them as representatives, they howled and cried like children.
Many people were drunk, whether it was the remnants of the expedition in Nanjing, the reinforcements from Jiaxing, or the guards of Taicang Wei, patting each other on the shoulders, calling each other brothers, remembering the dead brothers, and agreeing to fight the Japanese together next time.
At dawn the next day, Xiao Feng asked Yu Dayou and others to write down their military exploits, and asked the Jiaxing garrison to return to Jiaxing with reinforcements to wait for rewards, and the Taicang guards were stationed in place.
With only the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers in Nanjing, and the remaining 200 cavalry, he went straight to Hangzhou.
This time the road was much calmer, and no one bothered me anymore. The battle of Taicang not only caused Luo Wenlong's elite to be lost, but also made other small groups of Japanese robbers along the coast understand that it was really not a good idea to sneak attack the governor of Jiangnan.
The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou City is unparalleled in the world, and at this time, after a few days of cultivation, Princess Chang'an, who was devastated by Xiao Feng, felt that she was doing it again, and pestered Xiao Feng to see the West Lake.
Xiao Feng discussed military affairs with Yu Dayou every day, and wanted An Qingyue and Zhang Wuxin to accompany her, but Princess Chang'an resolutely refused, and she recently had a new means.
In the past, when she begged Xiao Feng to do something, Xiao Feng would not be kidnapped as long as he had no morals, but now that Princess Chang'an kidnapped him, his rope art rank has been upgraded.
She would hide her face with her hands and be overwhelmed with grief: "You didn't care about my life or death, tied me to a horse, and tossed me for a day and a night, and I thought I was going to be crippled......"
And then she was another
Pointing to the painting standing next to him: "You don't treat our master and servant as human beings at all, not only tossing me, but also ruthlessly wanting the life of the painting!" Do you think that if I wasn't by my side anymore, it would be easier for you to bully me? ”
The painting that was touched by her finger was immediately like pressing a switch, and she instantly entered a state of grief, resentment, helplessness, and bitter grievances, tears rolled down, and she glanced at Xiao Feng sadly. Then the two hugged and cried.
"Into the painting, I can't bear you, I've thought about it, I don't want a palace maid anymore when you die......"
"Princess, I can't bear you, I've thought about it, I'll be your palace maid in the next life......"
"Alright, shut up! Isn't it West Lake? Can't I go? ”
Xiao Feng had a straight face, Zhang Wuxin had half of his face, looking at the three twittering women in front of him, just like the men who followed his daughter-in-law to go shopping in later generations, he really felt very bored.
Xiao Feng's stay in Hangzhou was not for the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, but because he had a batch of important things to be transported to Hangzhou through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then he could continue to move forward, which was called sharpening the knife and cutting wood.
Of course, even if he didn't sharpen his knife, he had to let the troops enter a big city like Hangzhou to repair it, otherwise not only the princess couldn't stand it, but the soldiers couldn't stand it either.
Moreover, Xiao Feng also needs a peaceful and stable environment to interrogate Zhou Dao. He brought Zhou Dao all the way to Hangzhou, not for the sake of Ming Zheng.
Yu Dayou also brought Zhou Dao to the edge of the West Lake, and Zhang Wuxin sandwiched him between left and right, wearing iron shackles on his feet, which can be described as difficult to fly.
Yu Dayou and Zhang Wuxin were very puzzled, why Xiao Feng
Instead of interrogation in prison, but to take it to the edge of the West Lake, this beautiful West Lake, the interrogation effect is comparable to the eerie prison?
Not only that, Xiao Feng also set up a table of wine by the lake, and came up to fill a glass for Zhou Dao before pouring it for himself.
Zhou Dao looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, he had never seen such a governor, so young and so cunning, even the Holy Envoy couldn't take advantage of him in front of him.
"If you have something to say, Lord Governor, I'm a half-buried old man, and it's not a big deal to die."
Xiao Feng smiled: "I just took a fancy to your age and became interested in you, otherwise for your crime of assassinating the governor and Bai Lian's rebellion, I would have been hacked to death at the scene a long time ago, will it stay until now?" ”
Zhou Dao shuddered and looked at Xiao Feng with a little horror. These court dog officials have special fetishes, he has heard of them, and he likes mature women, and he has heard of them.
But he really hasn't heard of mature men. What's more, if you are so familiar with yourself, you have to bite your tongue and kill yourself like those women?
"At your age, I think you are the patriarch of the White Lotus Sect, and your status is not low, so you must know something about the past of the White Lotus Sect. I want you to tell me about it. ”
Zhou Dao breathed a sigh of relief, I see. But he didn't know what Xiao Feng wanted to hear, he just stared at him suspiciously.
"I won't do anything to betray the Holy Religion. If you want to know the location and personnel of the other helms, don't say I don't know, even if I know, I won't say. ”
Xiao Feng shook his head: "With Xiao Qin's mental skills, he won't let you know too much between the rudders, and think that each rudder is the same as the chief rudder."
Let's get in touch individually.
If you really know so much, even if Xiao Qin can't take you away, she will kill you when she leaves, how can she leave it to me? ”
"So what do you want to hear? How did I join the White Lotus Sect? I can tell you about that. ”
"What is the identity of the woman next to Xiao Qin? Zhang Wuxin said that there is a shadow of Xiao Qin in her kung fu, but there is also a shadow of Shaolin exercises. ”
Zhou Dao pondered for a moment, this is not a secret that cannot be said, there is no loss to the Holy Sect, and he is not a betrayal of the Holy Sect.
"If I tell you, will you keep me alive?"
Xiao Feng shook his head honestly: "But I can let you die with dignity, and even let you die in happiness." Along the way, I confiscated a lot of Bliss Pills.
You are from the White Lotus Sect, you should know about this thing, I will give you one, and I will not cut off your head and hang you.
I'm guessing you don't know, after taking this medicine, when you suffocate, you will feel a stronger sense of happiness......"
Zhou Dao frowned, and after weighing it again, he felt that this was indeed a very sincere counteroffer. Otherwise, your own crime is enough to be overdue.
The difference between suffocating to death in happiness and feeding flies after being stabbed three thousand times on the street is not much smaller than life and death, so Zhou Dao immediately agreed.
"Gu Yue'er is the saintess of our Holy Sect, although she has no real power, she has a noble status, and she is the spiritual representative of the Holy Sect, and she is very appealing."
Xiao Feng groaned, "Holy Maiden? Are there any rules? For example, can't get married or something? ”
Zhou Dao nodded: "I didn't expect that you still have a lot of research on the Holy Religion, and the Holy Maiden is indeed not allowed to get married, and you must remain holy."
There is also a saying that the body of the saint
It is very special, if a man and a saint are combined, they will slowly wither away and die, which is the punishment of the Ming King Maitreya Buddha. ”
Xiao Feng thought about Gu Yue'er's face, his heart moved, and he nodded slightly.
"Has the White Lotus Sect always had a holy woman?"
Zhou Dao shook his head: "It's not always there, the selection of saints is very strict, and it has to be recognized by the four holy envoys and the test of the magic medicine in front of the Buddha before it can be recognized as a saint."
It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there had been no saint in the Holy Sect for a long time, and then it was Xiao Shengzhi, oh, that is, the grandfather of the current Holy Envoy Xiao Qin, who selected a holy woman from among the ancient women who had newly joined the Holy Sect.
Later, the saint died unexpectedly while practicing in retreat, and there were rumors that she had been killed at the time, and since then, there has been no saint for another generation.
This incident made the Holy Sect at that time almost fall apart, and the cultists felt that it was a bad omen, and the holy envoys were also suspicious, and the sect leader was too old to control it at that time.
Fortunately, Xiao Sheng's envoy at that time, oh, it was Xiao Qin's father at this time, turned the tide, stabilized the situation, and designated the youngest son of the Gu family as the heir of the sect leader, and was jointly taught and assisted by the four holy envoys.
It wasn't until Gu Yue'er was ten years old that she passed the test, and the Holy Sect had a saint again. It's a pity that before the Holy Maiden ascended the throne, there was an internal strife among the Holy Envoys in the Holy Sect, which was extremely tragic.
The three holy envoys joined forces to rebel, and the sect leader at that time, that is, Gu Yue'er's father, was assassinated and killed. However, Xiao Qin's martial arts are strong and thoughtful, and he designed to defeat the three holy envoys, and from then on, the Holy Sect was actually his sole power. ”
Xiao Feng listened silently, analyzed in his heart, and suddenly asked, "What is the rebellion of the three holy envoys?"
Did it happen before or after the enthronement of the Holy Maiden? ”
Zhou Dao was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and decided that he was at a loss: "It was before, after the rebellion was quelled, Xiao Qin presided over the enthronement ceremony of the Holy Maiden for Gu Yue'er. ”
Xiao Feng nodded: "How did the Gu family join the White Lotus Sect, do you know?" ”
Zhou Dao's face flushed, this matter is obviously not honorable to say, but anyway, a hundred years have passed since the incident, and there is no way to verify the truth.
It is said that Xiao Sheng's envoy at that time fell in love with someone's daughter and forcibly accepted him. I was worried that my father-in-law's family would become rebellious and be punished by the Nine Clans, so I simply brought the whole family with me.
However, when the ancient family came, the adults were gone, the eldest was the eldest sister who later became Mrs. Xiao Shengzhi, and the rest was the second sister who later became a saint, and the only boy was the father of the boy who later became the sect leader.
This was all a hundred years ago, and there must be some bias in it, but in general, it is all passed down orally by the old sectarians, and it should not be wrong. ”
Xiao Feng thought in his heart, well, in this case, Gu Yue'er is still a little related to Xiao Qin, but I don't know if this relative is related by blood, and even if there is, it is relatively light.
However, since the saint girl can't get married, Gu Yue'er's eyes looking at Brother Qin are a bit of a problem, and it's another joy and sorrow.
However, Xiao Feng was not too worried about Brother Qin's marriage, he was more concerned about another matter.
"Do you know Xiao Wouji?"
Zhou Dao nodded: "Of course I know, he is Xiao Qin's servant, and he follows his father, and his kung fu is very high." It's a pity that the practice went crazy, committing crimes everywhere, and harming women, right
The reputation of the Holy Religion is very bad.
Later, it was Xiao Qin who personally took action to knock Xiao Wuji off the cliff and clear the portal for the Holy Sect, and Xiao Qin's reputation in the Holy Sect became even higher. ”
Xiao Feng nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Is there a woman in your White Lotus Sect who doesn't like to wear clothes?" It should be pretty good. ”
Zhou Dao frowned, feeling that Xiao Feng's problem was getting more and more out of line, but this matter was also not a matter of betraying the Holy Sect, and he didn't need to cover it up.
"Our holy doctrine is very strict, how can a woman not wear clothes? But when you asked, I remembered someone.
About ten years ago, I heard that there was a Miao girl in the main altar, young and beautiful, who wore very few clothes, but she would not wear no clothes.
At that time, I heard that the brother of the general altar mentioned it when he came to deliver the letter, but I had never seen it. I heard that it seems to have something to do with Xiao Sheng's envoy, but I don't know. ”
Xiao Feng nodded, thinking that there was nothing to ask again, so he poured another glass of wine for Zhou Dao.
"I'm done asking what I'm going to ask, and you've kept your promise, and you know everything. If you are nostalgic for this world, I will let you live for another three days, and if you are not nostalgic, you can leave tonight. ”
Zhou Dao laughed: "Old man, I have lived for so many years, do you still care about living for three more days?" It's better to die early, maybe you can be reincarnated in the family of a big landlord in Jiangnan in the next life! ”
Xiao Feng also smiled: "I want to ask you a heartfelt word, you can answer or not." ”
Zhou Dao grabbed the wine jug and poured the wine, drinking one cup after another: "You ask, as long as you don't betray the Holy Sect, I'll say." ”
Xiao Feng looked at Zhou Dao's eyes with complicated eyes, a little helpless and a little sad: "You, do you really believe in the White Lotus Sect."
? ”
Zhou Dao's hand pouring the wine paused, then smiled, then poured it full, drank it all, and licked the wine from the corner of his mouth with intent.
"What is faith? What is unbelief? I was born poor, my father was so tired from working as a long worker that he fell ill that my mother was bullied, and no one took care of the lawsuit, so I couldn't think of hanging myself.
You said, at this time, someone from the White Lotus Sect suddenly came, gave you food, helped you take revenge, and taught you kung fu, do you believe in the White Lotus Sect or the official mansion? ”
Xiao Feng stopped talking, Zhou Dao poured the wine by himself, and when he saw that the wine pot was dry, he picked up the two glasses of wine that Zhang Wuxin and Yu Dayou had not moved next to him, and continued to drink, muttering to himself in his mouth.
"True or false. Over the years, the White Lotus Sect has also done a lot of bad things, some of which are worse than the government, I know it.
I've heard of your reputation, and I've heard of all the things you did, it's amazing, if the court were all officials like you, there would have been no White Lotus Sect for a long time.
There are good officials and bad officials in the government, and there are good people and bad people in the White Lotus Sect, all of whom say that the other party is bad and they are good. After all, what can ordinary people understand?
At my age, I only know one thing. It doesn't matter if everything is true or false, it matters which one is good for you.
So, Lord Xiao, I'm going to die soon, you said that at this time, I must believe in the White Lotus Sect, which is good for me, what if I can really be the son of a big landlord? Hahaha! ”
Zhou Dao was drunkenly taken away by Yu Dayou, Xiao Feng looked at his back and said loudly: "Medicine, give him two, hurry up when you come!" ”
Zhou Dao turned his head and gave a thumbs up: "My lord, thoughtful, thoughtful!" ”
