Chapter 13 Taoist priests have unpredictable powers
Wang Lin lowered his head and covered his ears, full of pain, only then did he know that the other party was so powerful, and it was a strange person with strange abilities.
"Chu Xie, enough trouble, stop it for me, don't make trouble. Shen Fei used the same powerful voice to dissuade Chu Xie from continuing to act willfully, and the latter saw that Liwei was enough, fell from the sky, sat back on the horse's back, and clamped his legs, and the Wild Horse King walked forward: "I entered the city first, I haven't eaten for a day and a night, and my stomach is hungry, don't be chattering endlessly, okay." "I don't care about expressing my dissatisfaction.
Shen Fei didn't have anything to do with him, and while smiling bitterly, he said to Wang Lin: "General Wang, you are fine, the little brother is not sensible, don't blame him." ”
Wang Lin shook his head, his head was buzzing because of the whistling just now, and it still didn't get better, he turned his head to look at Chu Xie who was sitting on horseback and left, waved his hand again and again to order the soldiers to get out of the way, and then looked at the city wall, and saw that the black city wall that was as hard as a barrier suddenly sunken on it, producing a clear mark as if it had been attacked by a huge fist in a radius of three feet, his heart palpitated, and he said secretly: " No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince wants to give up his position, these two Taoist priests have the ability to fight against an army by themselves, which is really unusual. ”
Turning his head, his gaze at Shen Fei revealed a hint of flattery: "Shen Daozun, your brother is straightforward, which is really admirable, come, let's enter the city, eat and drink well, so that we can leave early." ”
"That's the truth. Shen Fei smiled, and said in his heart: Chu Xie accidentally stumbled into it, but it showed the strength of the Taoist Sect, and in the future, one of the two of them sang with a red face and the other with a white face, almost all of them performed in their true colors, just right.
After this trouble, General Wang Lin's eyes were almost completely filled with Shen Fei's gentle face, and even His Royal Highness the Prince Tuoba Lie couldn't accommodate it. Who would have thought that as soon as the picture turned, six black shadows fell from above the head at a high speed, and it was Nalan Ruoxue who arrived with the second child.
The cold fangs and claws were no more than half a meter above his head, Wang Lin felt a chill behind him, and when he saw the face of this creature falling from the sky, it was like five thunderbolts, and he was shocked beyond words.
"This ...... What is this? There are six wolves with wings!" But he suddenly felt a thick bloody breath wafting from the end of his nose, and when he looked up, a large mouth of blood was already close at hand, his fangs were jagged, his scarlet tongue was full of barbs, licking his face, his narrow and upturned eyes were blood-red, his eyes were fierce, and the fur of the beast was fangs and claws, like a huge demon.
Wang Lin's head was empty all of a sudden, he felt that the world had gone away from him, and he couldn't support it anymore, and he was about to sit down on the ground as soon as his body was weak, but fortunately, Shen Fei supported him in time.
"General Wang, these seven little wolf cubs are all pets under you, so they didn't scare you. ”
"Little wolf cub, pet!" Wang Lin had a feeling that the sky was falling, and he glanced at Tuoba Lie deeply, and said in his heart, Tuoba Lie, you really have found a good backer. His legs trembled, his teeth chattered, and he still couldn't adjust his state for a while, but he felt a trace of cool power sliding into his body along Shen Fei's right hand that was in contact with him, and then he slowly stabilized his mind.
Shen Fei patted the boss twice and said, "Quickly dodge, go and find Ruoxue, there is nothing for you here." The boss left, and before leaving, he actually showed a gaze similar to that of a human, his eyes were full of disdain, as if he was mocking Wang Lin as a general, but he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
Tuoba Lie said: "Let's go, General Wang Lin, let's go into the city." ”
"Let's go, let's go into the city!" the axle was crushed, leaving two lines of clear marks, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies to escort the important prisoners into Nantong City.
......
Nantong City is a fortress city, the city is inhabited by soldiers and their families, only a few merchants exist, it is said that the merchants are all opened by General Wang's mother's family, supplying some things except daily necessities.
The empire treats soldiers very well, and it can be said that once they enlist in the army, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, including their families. The eggs of the newly recruited soldiers alone have ten taels of silver, five loads of grain and a piece of cloth, which is enough for a small family, so the men of the empire are proud to be able to join the army.
The streets are narrow, you can see bunkers and private houses everywhere, the ground is clean and level, and the stone road of a water leads directly to the general's mansion. The General's Mansion is a grand and atmospheric contrast, in stark contrast to the dilapidated houses. His Majesty strictly forbade the deduction of military salaries, and those who violated the order were sentenced to beheading, but it was still difficult to implement it, and the annual income was ten taels of silver, and the general deducted one tael per person was not a small amount, plus the tricks of lying about the number of family members, lying about the number of forts repaired, etc., money was not a matter for the general at all.
The grandeur of the general's mansion, the crimson foyer like a lion's opening, the auspicious birds and beasts sit on the beams of the house, look at the past, covering an area of 100 acres and 100 houses. There is only one difference from Jinling City, that is, the height of the courtyard wall is absolutely strictly controlled below two meters, and he will never dare to take a step beyond the thunder pond and build the mansion into a strong fortress like Linghu Mansion, and he will never dare to do this.
It was late at night, and Shen Fei's arrival alarmed the children and women in the city, and a pair of frightened and curious eyes emerged from their mother's arms, showing a warm side. The thousands of soldiers went home to eat and sleep, and the time to gather again was the next day, and Linghu Xuanzhou and Miss Qianqian were taken to the side room of the general's mansion. After General Wang Lin knew the identities of the two suspects, he wanted to put them in a cell, but Shen Fei stopped him, so he arranged a side room in the mansion to live in and sent heavy soldiers to guard them.
Everyone came to the main hall, and during the chat, the chef prepared the exquisite dishes as quickly as possible, and put them flat on the table with a porcelain bowl one by one, a total of 12 dishes, plus sweets and soup, it should be said that although he came in a hurry, the general's mansion had completed a sumptuous dinner as quickly as possible.
"Rushing to work late at night, a little hasty, His Royal Highness the Prince and the two Dao Venerables, will be settled. General Wang Lin said modestly.
"Disturbed late at night, extremely presumptuous, General Wang is really flattered that he can prepare such an exquisite meal, come, General, this king toasts you!"
Wang Lin smiled happily: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have worked tirelessly for Your Majesty, and you are really a model for us, and Wang should respect you first." ”
"In that case, Shen Daozun, Chu Daozun, let's raise a glass together, it's good to drink a cup. ”
"Chu Xie doesn't drink alcohol, so I don't think there is any need to force it. ”
"Who said I don't drink, drink, cheers!"
The four of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and the first glass of wine was in their stomachs.
At this time, there were only four of them sitting at the round dining table, and Nalan Ruoxue was not on the side, because the imperial law divided people into three, six, nine and so on, among which the status of women lagged behind that of men, and in all large families, men and women were not allowed to share the same table. But there are exceptions, for example, An Linglong, who was born in a famous family, has a high status in her mother's family, so her status in a man's family has naturally risen.
Nalan Ruoxue sat in the smaller room in the side hall and dined alone, not to mention how unhappy she was, if it weren't for Shen Fei's kind words and persuasion, she would definitely turn her face if she promised again and again. But Qixiao was very proud, when he came to the General's Mansion, he ate well, drank well, and could accompany Ruoxue to the table to eat, and after a while, his stomach was round, lying on the ground and exposing his belly, waiting for Ruoxue to tease. The subordinates of the mansion watched from a distance as the seven fierce and vicious guys were as docile as little wolf dogs in front of Nalan Ruoxue, and they were all amazed.
Having said that, the four men were eating around a table, and there was wine and meat on the table, and soon they opened their hearts, and Wang Lin asked: "Your Highness, are the two people you arrested the murderers of the third prince?
"The murderer has been shot dead by Shen Daozun, those two are suspects, and they are just involved in the case, and they are brought back to the capital for their father to interrogate in person. ”
"The third prince is dead, our Long Live Lord must be very unhappy, but I am afraid that Jinling City will inevitably have a catastrophe. "Wang Lin knows a lot about today's long live, and knows that this lord can't stand anyone's slightest infringement of imperial power, maybe he will kill chickens to show monkeys, and give Jinling City a massacre, and all those involved in the incident will sit together, and when the time comes, the flowery Jinling will become a Shura hell.
"Father is indeed very unhappy, but the purpose of mobilizing the army is because the gang of people in Jinling City is too powerful, and if they don't mobilize the army, there is no way to arrest them. ”
"Xia Guan heard that the head snake in Jinling City is called Linghu Hanging Boat. ”
"It's the man in the two criminals. ”
"You're the one who caught him!"
"What? General Wang Lin knows him?"
"Your Highness, you also know that Nantong City is adjacent to Jinling City, and you have some understanding of things over there, and I heard that this made the fox hanging boat rise from the underworld, and killed all the way until it was tied with the original three giants of Jinling City, and finally surpassed them to become the king of Jinling City, and its strength should not be underestimated. Wang Lin turned his words and picked up his wine glass: "Your Highness can even arrest such a person, which really makes Wang admire, admire." ”
Tuoba Lie also picked up his wine glass and said: "Although it is said that the arrest has been done, but the peace on the road is difficult to guarantee, we rushed to Nantong City at night, and marched to Nantong City for a day and a night, because we were afraid that his people would ambush and rob the prisoner car on the road!"
"Hijack the prisoner car? They dare! The prisoner car escorted by the imperial army also dares to hijack, where is the majesty of Your Majesty, don't you want to die!"
"That's what I said, but after all, it's out of Jinling City, and there are many bandits on the road, if something really happens, as long as there is no clear evidence, it will be difficult to put the blame on him, don't you say it. ”
"What Your Highness said is not unreasonable, or Wang will send another team to assist you in escorting the prisoners. ”
"No need, since my father and the emperor only sent an army of 1,000 people to this king, this king can only use this team to escort the suspect to the imperial capital, and there can be no mistake.
"Why don't you explain the pros and cons to Your Majesty and reapply. ”
"Father and the emperor are as careful and far-sighted as the old man, and the decisions he makes are not so easy to shake. ”
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is far-sighted, and non-subordinates can understand it. ”
"I propose, how about we raise a glass together and toast to the present day?"
"Okay, raise your glass, your majesty!"
Raising a glass together, before that, Chu Xie had already drunk many glasses of spirits in a row, squinted at Wang Lin and Tuoba Lie, and said in his heart: Your Majesty?
His Majesty the Emperor has been for thousands of generations, His Majesty the Emperor is far-sighted, His Majesty the Emperor is as careful as a hair, and His Majesty the Emperor is shouting one by one, which is really much closer than treating his parents.
After a heavy drink, Tuoba Lie and Wang Lin, who didn't know how to use their skills to get rid of their wine, were already dizzy, and their words became more and more bold.
"Shen Daozun, it's Shen Daozun, I heard that Taoist priests have access to heaven and earth, unpredictable abilities, I don't know if I can show my hands to open Wang's eyes, and I can preach to Taoism when I meet people in the future. ”
Shen Fei heard him say this, held one hand up on his chest, his chin was slightly folded, and made a routine action that he came up with after going down the mountain, when the Taoist priest spoke, the model was to refer to the monk's hands together: "Before the power of the Taoist sect entered the city, didn't General Wang have seen it, is it necessary to show it again." ”
Wang Lin probably did drink too much, and when the wine surged, he began to speak freely: "Punching and kicking is hard kung fu, Taoist monks will also, Wang wants to see some tricks, only Taoist priests can but monks can't." ”
"General Wang really wants to see it?"
"I really want to see it!"
"But our Taoist skills are not street showmanship, how can anyone who wants to watch it. ”
"Shen Daozun, let's get acquainted, we must give this face. ”
Seeing that Shen Fei's face remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to be ready to give this face, Tuoba Lie opened his mouth to persuade: "Daozun, General Wang is a member of the army, and I Tuoba Lie can be regarded as the same qi, you can see the face of this king, just show your hands to General Wang for insight." "Listening to the meaning, I want to take the opportunity to win over Wang Lin.
In the past, he was on the front line, dedicated to defending the peace of the country, and only talked about military affairs and not friendship, but now that he intends to join the battle for the throne of Kowloon, he needs to change his past style and actively attract all the forces that can be co-opted.
Shen Fei understood what Tuoba Lie meant, since he opened his mouth, it was naturally impossible not to give face, and said at the moment: "Since His Royal Highness has spoken, then he will show his hand, which can be regarded as a thank you for the sumptuous dinner." He took a petal and put it in the wine glass, and sealed it with both hands: "Five Elements Creation Technique - Flowers in Water." "In the next moment, the water ripples, and the ordinary petals grow into a flower that exudes a charming fragrance at a speed visible to the naked eye under the reflection of the light.
