Chapter 35: A Visit to Kongmen

The fact that Chu Jiangkai broke into the eleventh room of the Tang Gate soon spread throughout Puzhou, and there was another legend about Chu Jiangkai on the rivers and lakes. And the more this rumor spreads, the more evil it becomes, what "Chu Jiangkai destroyed the eleventh room of the Tang Gate with one person and one sword", what "everyone in the Tang family knelt down and begged for mercy to be spared", in short, the more it spreads, the more exaggerated it becomes.

And Chu Jiangkai was not happy about this, he was kneeling in the Shuai Mansion at this time, and he was tied up by ropes.

"I mobilized the heavy cavalry battalion without authorization and lied about the military order, but I handled it with Shang Shuai. Chu Jiangkai bowed his head and pleaded guilty. He was not panicked and calm.

Although the grass army is not an official army of the imperial court, all marches and fights have military laws. And lying about military orders and transferring troops without authorization are all serious crimes that can be beheaded. Although Chu Jiangkai's identity is special, if he commits this kind of thing, he will inevitably die.

Chu Jiangkai knew this very well before he decided to transfer troops without authorization, but because the situation was critical at that time, he had no better way. As for whether it's worth it or not, he doesn't care about it, and it doesn't seem to matter anymore. Therefore, after the Tang Sect was over, he told Xu Zhan the reason and asked Xu Zhan to tie himself up to see Shang Junchang. When Xu Zhan heard this, he shouted that he was confused. But the dispatch of the heavy cavalry battalion was very important, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to take Chu Jiangkai into custody.

At this time, Shang Junchang is the most distressed person. Chu Jiangkai was invited by him to Puzhou to help, and his status is different. It can even be said that only Wang Xianzhi can order him and dispose of him. But he just violated military law in this Juancheng.

Shang Junchang is not a person who bends the law for personal gain, he has a strategy in his chest and a country, he will not ignore military law because of Chu Jiangkai's special status. If he didn't behead Chu Jiangkai, how could he serve the people? Why would he lead the troops? But if he beheaded Chu Jiangkai, this person would be General Wang's right-hand man, not to mention whether Wang Xianzhi would blame him, just missing this person would have a great impact on the grass army.

Shang Junchang really couldn't say what he was suffering, he was in a dilemma, and he sighed unconsciously. And Liu Honghan on the side, when he saw Shang Jun looking like this, he knew his difficulty, and took the opportunity to say: "Shang Shuai, although Brother Chu has violated military law, he is also eager to save people, and now is the time to employ people, it is better to let him make meritorious contributions." ”

Xu Zhan also hurriedly knelt aside and persuaded: "Yes, Shang Shuai!

Shang Junchang was silent, the so-called "meritorious service" was just a cover for favoritism and an excuse for favoritism, why didn't he want to?

At this moment, the guards outside the door came in and reported: "Shang Shuai, ask Jun Ping to ask for a meeting." ”

Shang Junchang knew it in his heart, and replied in a deep voice: "Please let them in." ”

It turned out that after Yue Xuanqiu's toxicity was exhausted, he was still immersed in the demeanor of Chu Jiang's opening in the Tang Gate, but he suddenly learned that he was about to be beheaded. Yue Xuanqiu was suddenly anxious, and he was about to come to ask Shang Junchang. However, Ling Shuangzhan was afraid that the two of them would not be able to speak lightly, and it would not be enough to move Shang Junchang, so he turned to Wen Junping and others. Everyone is a person in the rivers and lakes, and together they are also a big force.

On the way here, Wei Qimu sighed: "If Chu Jiangkai knows that the heirs of the 'Five Bird Valley' and the 'Medicine King' are all in the Shuai Mansion, he will not make such a decision. ”

When Wang Jing and Sun Peilan heard this, they both shook their heads. Sun Peilan pursed her lips and said, "The poison of the Tang Sect is the most peculiar, and I can't solve it." ”

Wang Jing also said: "If the family teacher makes a move, it will naturally be safe." It's a pity that I am not good at learning, and I may not be able to solve the poison of the Tang Sect. ”

Zhang Fengchen chewed in his heart, "Is Shang Junchang so cold-faced and ruthless? But he is in a state, it should be a dilemma......

When everyone arrived, Yue Xuanqiu saw Chu Jiangkai who was bound, his heart ached, he took a few steps and knelt beside him, his eyes were tearful, and begged: "Shang Piaoshuai, Chu Daxia violated military law in order to save me, and please don't blame Shang Piaoshuai, if you want to punish me, punish me!"

Wei Qimu and the others also hugged their fists together and said: "Please also ask Shang Ticket Shuai to take it lightly!"

Seeing this situation, Shang Jun knew that Chu Jiangkai would not die this time. This force in the rivers and lakes is not trivial, and they come forward to intercede, and he can't handle it without discretion.

Seeing that Shang Junchang's heart was loose, he took the opportunity to say: "Shang Piaoshuai, haven't you heard of the story of 'cutting hair and acting as the head' in ancient times?"

Shang Junchang naturally knew this allusion, but he couldn't bring it up himself. And Liu Honghan and Xu Zhan are both rough people, and they can't think of this. Now that Jun Ping is a word, the steps have been completed. Shang Junchang sat down and said loudly: "Brothers are righteous, military law is ruthless, Chu Jiangkai should have beheaded me to correct the military discipline, but if we are in trouble today, it is the time to employ people in the army, temporarily stay with your useful body, and follow the old thing of Gu Xian's 'cutting hair and acting as the head'." ”

Chu Jiang developed a bun and fell off, was tortured, spared a death, and retreated with everyone.

Chu Jiang started an incident, and asked Junping to remember the visit to Confucius, and also wanted to take this opportunity to contact and understand various sects, so he invited Chu Jiangkai, Ling Shuangzheng, and Yue Hangqiu to go with him.

Although Chu Jiangkai was grateful to everyone for their help and life-saving, he didn't like this kind of entertainment, so he politely refused. Yue Xuanqiu originally wanted to go, but seeing that Chu Jiangkai was unwilling, she couldn't refuse. Ask Junping not to be reluctant, and smiled.

So, asking Junping, Wei Qimu, Huang Zhen, Zhang Fengchen, Sun Peilan, Qin Girl, Chong Lin, Lin Chong, Wang Jing plus Ling Shuang, a group of ten people went to the inn where Confucius was located.

The post has already been delivered, and Kong Men, the head of Kongmen, is in a good mood today. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since so many and famous guests had visited, and not at the mountain gate.

Several disciples in the sect were agitated in their hearts, and they were all busy. They knew that many of the people in this group were well-known in the rivers and lakes, and they all wanted to see it. Especially Luo Injury, which has been long-awaited.

On the way, Huang Zhen's four daughters walked together, talking non-stop, completely ignoring the other six men. Seeing that he couldn't talk to Miss Qin, he simply asked about the story of 'cutting his hair and acting as the head'.

Ask Junping patiently preached to him: "Cao Mengde once marched through the wheat field. He commanded, 'Death to those who trample down.'" But he didn't want his own mount to be frightened, and he trampled on many wheat fields. He then asked the master to convict, but the master said, 'The righteousness of the ancients' Spring and Autumn Period, the punishment is not respected. So, Cao Cao cut off his hair with a sword, and the crime of beheading him was right. ”

After hearing this, Chong Lin sneered and said: "This Cao Mengde is really treacherous, so he will be spared a death! So it seems that you ask Junping the same, and his stomach is bad!" Everyone laughed "haha" when they heard this. On the other side, Miss Qin, who was talking and laughing, heard this, and she said angrily: "Planting forests, you are talking nonsense again! Ask the eldest brother a gentleman, how is he treacherous?"

Miss Qin has been asking Junping and suppressing the forest. And Chonglin is the most afraid of her, and he always has no power to resist her words. This time it was the same, but he still muttered in a low voice: "He's a thief, and he really treats him as a gentleman?"

Miss Qin raised her willow eyebrows again: "What are you muttering about!"

Chong Lin saw her angry and beautiful appearance, and finally fell silent. Everyone was happy again when they saw this, especially Ling Shuangzhan, although he had not known these people for a long time, he felt very happy and comfortable.

After joking about planting forests, Miss Qin talked about Chu Jiang's solo entry into the Tang Gate. Yue Xuanqiu can make a character like Chu Jiangkai break into the Tang Gate for her, and violate military discipline for her, and the four daughters are envious.

Miss Qin remembered that she had been injured when she had asked Junping to break out of the Soul Palace for her, and her heart was sweet, and she didn't feel emotional, and her eyes looked at Wen Junping. At this time, she had automatically ignored Wei Qimu and a few people who planted the forest and broke into the Soul Palace. Of course, it's not really ignored.

Huang Zhen suddenly said: "I don't know if it's you, do you dare to break into the Tang Gate?"

Wei Qimu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought about whether he dared or not, even if he did, whether he could be as happy as Chu Jiangkai. Wei Qimu was feeling depressed in his heart, but Sun Peilan on the side answered: "He, he will definitely only care about running for his life when the time comes!"

Zhang Fengchen also nodded yes.

Wei Qimu was not angry in his heart, but he was speechless. During the time he knew these three people, he was really running for his life...... Wei Qimu sighed in his heart, "This nasty person is old, it's really ruining my name!"

However, Wei Qimu thought at this time that if Li Wan'er was here, it would never make him so embarrassed. She must be the same as Yue Xuanqiu and Miss Qin, after all, he killed the young master of Manichaeism for her at that time. Yes, Wei Qimu also automatically ignored Yuan Zifeng and the cooperation of several of them.

Thinking of Li Wan'er, Wei Qimu's heart suddenly felt lonely, and then he thought of Yuan Zifeng and Yun Hail, and he missed them for a while.

Huang Zhen saw that Wei Qimu lowered his head and didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking, and thought that what he said just now hurt his self-esteem, so he hurriedly pulled his cuffs and said, "It's just a joke just now, are you still annoyed?"

Wei Qimu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly smiled: "No, I just happened to remember something else." ”

Huang Zhen let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more. Her heart was as sensitive as hair, thinking about what Wei Qimu was thinking about just now, so fascinated. Out of intuition, she couldn't calm down in her heart.

The group talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at the place where Kong Men lived. Kong Zhi personally led all the disciples to greet guests at the door, and the living room that was temporarily cleaned up was simple but in place.

Although Wen Junping and his party don't like to swagger, these people will inevitably attract attention when they get together. Soon, the spies of the other factions all knew about the visit of Jun Ping, Wei Qimu and others to Confucius. Some of the factions were suspicious, some were shocked, and they were all speculating about what tricks this hole used.

Their various factions are only communicating with each other in Juancheng, and have not yet come into contact with other forces. And asking Junping is the first wave of people, especially there may be Shang Junchang's meaning behind this. Each faction has its own thoughts, especially the disciples in the Du Sect, some are resentful, some are disdainful, but Xiao Xia pretends not to know.

The guest and host sat down, and after being polite, he asked Junping directly: "Please also ask Master Kong to forgive me for taking the liberty of being here, I don't know what you are sending to this Juancheng to do? Maybe you can help you in the next place." ”

Kong Zhi pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I don't hide it from you, I don't know why the bad door is here." ”

Everyone was confused, including the disciples of Confucius.

Kong Zhi continued: "I also received the 'God's Grant' and came by order. ”

Everyone, including Shang Junchang, heard the name "God Bestows Cards" for the first time, and they don't know what it means.

Kong Zhi explained: "This 'divine card' is not a secret thing, but it has not been used a few times in hundreds of years, and few people know about it. At that time, Dong Zhongshu unified Confucianism and opened up 800 years of martial arts, so he forged a 'divine award' with nine heavens of Xuantie and Kungang fine jade, which was a token of Confucianism. I saw that Maoshan, Shaolin and other Taoist and Buddhist sects also came here, presumably they also received the 'Tongtian Order' and 'Reincarnation Bead'. ”

What shocked everyone was not the "divine award" but the word "mastery"! The head of a faction is already a great figure, not to mention the head of a sect? Under this Confucianism alone, there are more than hundreds of sects? Everyone except Wei Qimu was amazed, they thought that the head of the sect was just a rumor, but they did not expect that such a figure really existed!

Kong Zhi saw that only Wei Qimu's face remained unchanged, and he inevitably looked at him, thinking, "It is worthy of being the person who killed the young master of Mani, and his courage is extraordinary." ”

This time, Kong Zhike was blind, Wei Qimu was not surprised, not because of his great courage, but because he knew about the existence of the master from Dachengzi when he left the Soul Palace.

"Father, who is the head of our Confucianism? and which sect is it?" Kong Tu became curious, and saw that many heroes were here, and he was willing to be courteous, so he asked on behalf of everyone.
