Chapter 1153: The Sorcerer (I)
"Darthead, are you still worried about them......" Hong Jifeng walked from behind, looking at Sun Shangrong alone and worried, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Since returning from Luozhuang on the day of the fight, Hong Jifeng has been staying in the Laiyun Dart Bureau, and learned that Sun Yun and others have not heard from him for nearly a month, and Hong Jifeng is also very worried.
"Yes, Yun'er hasn't returned for a long time, it's been almost a month, it's really reassuring......" Sun Shangrong's face was full of worry and uncertain, "Although Ah Guang and the people from Qingmo Villa sent back the letter, they haven't come back for so long, and they have always encountered some trouble...... I'm afraid that they are in danger outside, but I don't want us to worry too much, so I deliberately hide something......" It seems that in the letter sent back by Ren Guang, it seems that he did not emphasize the relationship between himself and others and the "Canghuan Sect".
"Don't worry, Darthead, they have gone through a lot of training, even if they encounter any danger, they will find a way to survive everything safely...... Hong Jifeng continued to comfort, "Especially the virtuous nephew, I believe in his ability, no matter what danger he encounters, he will turn the danger into a disaster...... and Miss Qi who accompanied her, last time Luozhuang and his party expelled the rioters to save the people, I was also very relieved of her......"
"Hey, I hope everything is like this......" Sun Shangrong sighed alone, turned to look at Hong Jifeng, and couldn't help but care, "I don't know if Hong seniors are still used to living in the cold house?"
"Of course, the old man has been so entertained by the Gui Dart Bureau, and the old man has already expressed ......his deep gratitude," Hong Jifeng said politely, and then sighed, "It's just that the purpose of my coming to your house is to treat Miss Du's foot injury...... But now the healing has not worked, and Miss Du is gone, which is really reassuring......"
"I just hope that a few of them are outside, and take good care of themselves......," Sun Shangrong couldn't help but sigh again, "Now the situation in the imperial court is becoming more and more turbulent, there are frequent wars outside, there are party struggles inside, the people are complaining, and the people are not living, and the entire capital will even make disturbances from time to time...... Didn't catch up with the good time, at the beginning of the Mengyuan court, the Chatai royal family, moved the dart bureau to the capital, but did not live a day of stability; I think that Yun'er's true identity is the son of the Chatai family, but now he is still filial piety, and would rather stay here than return to the palace...... To be honest, sometimes I keep thinking about how good it is better than bad for Yun'er......"
"The virtuous nephew wants to stay in the dart bureau to fulfill his filial piety, it is nothing more than the kindness of the dart head to him, he is reluctant to take this place, so he naturally stays here......" Hong Jifeng first accompanied, thinking of the "court situation" mentioned just now, Hong Jifeng seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but mention, "Speaking of the situation in Dadu, the situation is becoming more and more turbulent...... Two days ago, I was going to go to the outside of the capital to collect medicine, who would have thought that there was a riot at the gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court used a large number of armed forces, as if they were suppressing some force, and the movement was not small...... I watched from a distance, I didn't know what was going on, it seemed that the matter was quite serious, and the imperial court even issued a lockdown order, so I didn't go out either......"
"I seem to have heard of this...... Sun Shangrong couldn't help but mention, "I have been walking on the streets in the past two days, and I often see a large number of patrol officers and soldiers and even soldiers stationed in various parts of the city, and then there are inexplicable riots in various places, and even when I sleep at night, I am often woken up by the noise outside...... Later, I asked someone to inquire about the cause of the whole incident, and it was rumored that it was the thugs of the 'Ming Fu Sect' who made trouble in the city five years ago, which shocked the imperial court, and the imperial court had to send heavy troops to exert pressure——"
"Mingfu Sect?" Hong Jifeng couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this name, "Isn't this the thug we met when we went to Luozhuang two months ago?" I heard the virtuous nephew say that five years ago in the capital, there was a riot of the 'Mingfu Sect' and other sects, and it was later relied on Chatai Dordun and his master to join hands with the forces of the Chatai family to suppress the riot...... There is no wind and no waves, if these rumors are true, then ......"
"Boom-" As he was talking, a loud noise suddenly sounded somewhere in the capital, and thick smoke billowed up into the sky......
"That's the voice—" Sun Shangrong was immediately surprised, "it's exactly the same as the loud noise that woke me up at night—these are indeed signs of a riot, something must have happened somewhere in the city......
"In that place—" Hong Jifeng pointed in the direction where the smoke was rising, and said solemnly, "Someone must be making trouble there, I have to hurry over!"
As the duty of the doctor, Hong Jifeng was worried that innocent civilians were injured there, and wanted to rush to the rescue immediately, and by the way, he could also find out what had happened over there and in the past two days.
"Senior Hong, you have to be careful-" Sun Shangrong couldn't wait to see Hong Jifeng carrying the medicine box, and couldn't help but remind.
"Well......" Hong Jifeng nodded calmly, he is known as the "Doctor of the Rivers and Lakes", he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is confident that he can deal with any situation he encounters......
The place where the riot took place was in the corner of the capital, where some officers and soldiers were stationed, and it seemed that the imperial court guarded the storage of important supplies. And just as outsiders say, it was the "Mingfu Sect" followers who caused all these troubles, and they used the slogan of "expelling the tyranny of Mengyuan" to imitate the momentum they had instigated five years ago, and from two days ago, led by the sect leader He Xunyi himself, they infiltrated the capital city in batches, causing one disaster after another.
This was the scene that Hong Jifeng had seen at the city gate two days earlier, when the imperial court learned that the crime had risen five years earlier, so it sent troops to suppress it, and the capital soon fell into a situation of riot. In just two days, from Xicheng to Boxing District, there were clashes between the "Ming Fujiao" and the imperial court almost every day, and the imperial forbidden army in the capital was almost unable to resist the offensive of the "Ming Fujiao", and the imperial court even secretly sent an edict to transfer troops back from the border pass.
Speaking of the "Ming Restoration Religion", with the purpose of "resisting the Mengyuan Dynasty and expelling the tyranny", an armed force that cannot be underestimated has risen among the people, and the number of believers is close to tens of thousands, which is tantamount to an uprising war. The number of sect members who attacked the capital of the city in batches this time was not less than a few thousand, and the sect leader He Xunyi, who was strong in martial arts, personally led it, and the scale of the momentum was much higher than that of five years ago, which could be described as a disaster in the imperial city of the capital.
On the surface, the "Ming Fu Sect" entered the city under the banner of "rebelling against Meng Yuan" and started a riot, but in fact it caused countless people to be displaced, and one place in Xicheng could be said to be a hell on earth in two days. The imperial court sent troops to suppress it, but it did not have a significant effect, but suffered heavy casualties, if it was not possible to transfer back reinforcements from the border pass in time, then the entire Mengyuan imperial court would encounter the danger of Sheji......
The place where the riot broke out today was the military premises set up by the imperial court in Xicheng, and it was originally planned to send troops to transfer the important materials inside before the "Ming Fujiao" invaded here. Who would have thought that the "Mingfu Sect" would take the lead, and a fire would burn this place to the ground, and the soldiers guarding it would be killed and wounded by hundreds, and they could not withstand the flood of offensive of the "Ming Restoration Sect".
After the riot and fighting, the followers of the "Mingfu Sect" prepared to move and rest, leaving a group of disciples here to clean up the "fire scene......
"Hurry up, dispose of the corpse, the sect leader has an order, order us to return to the camp in an hour for a while-" A cultist who seems to be the leader keeps commanding his disciples, this battle "Mingfu Sect" is still as usual, taking an important stronghold in Xicheng.
"Yes—" The rest of the cultists responded in unison, ordered the useful items in the armament to be removed, disposed of the corpses, and continued to increase the fire, preparing to burn the place to the ground.
The raging fire soon reflected the entire Xicheng, where the invasion of the "Ming Fu Sect" became deeper and deeper, not only the common people had already fled for refuge, but the imperial court could not send any vitality in a short period of time to suppress the rioters here.
I thought that the "Ming Fujiao" had won a complete victory in this battle, and they could quickly evacuate after cleaning up the scene, but who would have thought that in a place near the corpse of the "fire field", there was a strangely dressed man who did not leave, but squatted next to the corpse of the Mengyuan army, with unknown intentions......
"Chief, there's a strange guy over there—" One of the cultists found out and reported back in time.
"One man...... Is it from the imperial court?" the leader asked with a hurry.
"It should ...... It's not from the imperial court......" The disciple replied with some hesitation.
"What do you mean by 'shouldn't be,' can't you tell the man is dressed?" the leader continued to ask impatiently.
"It's strange that he is dressed...... "the cultist replied after him, "not from the court, but not like an ordinary citizen......
"Really, who's so grinding, take me over and see—" The leader said bluntly, roughly.
"Yes—" The cultists rushed in the direction of the mysterious man with the leader and a group of men......
Sure enough, a man in a white robe looked at the corpse on the ground with a calm face, wrapped in a raging fire, but he didn't panic at all.
The disciples of the "Mingfu Sect" arrived, and looked at the man from the other side, looking at the clothes really did not look like people from the court, but a very strange feeling made everyone unable to speak.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" the leader didn't care, but asked by name, regardless of who he was.
The man slowly stood up, turned around slowly, and showed a cold look - this person turned out to be Bu Tianxing, who had been a fortune teller before, and he was still holding the crystal ball that had been uneasy before.
"What's the matter if you don't speak?...... the leader saw Bu Tianxing and said with a disdainful face, "If you are a member of the imperial court, then prepare to die, and if you are a common person who opposes the imperial court like us, then get out of here quickly......
Bu Tianxing was not in a hurry, holding the crystal ball in his hand, and said slowly: "I am the arithmetic Bu Tianxing, who runs a divination ...... in the capital."
"Hmph, it turned out to be a fortune teller......" Although he was not from the imperial court, the leader of the sect was very unhappy when he looked at Bu Tianxing's face, and said disdainfully, "Since you are not from the imperial court, then hurry up and get out, otherwise the troops of the imperial court will come and have a firefight in a while, don't blame me for not reminding you-"
Bu Tianxing was still not panicked, and said coldly: "You 'Mingfu Sect' people can stay here, why can't I ...... Moreover, I live here in Xicheng in Xiaben, and your 'Mingfu Sect' burned down the house in Xia, so it's not bad if I didn't settle accounts with you......" As he spoke, his tone was still faintly murderous, and it seemed that Bu Tianxing didn't take the people of the "Mingfu Sect" in his eyes at all.
"What do you mean by that?" Sure enough, the leader was immediately angry when he heard this, but thinking that this man actually knew the identity of the others, he couldn't help but ask again, "Who are you, why do you know about us, who told you, could it be that you have an affair with the imperial court?" In the eyes of the leader, he couldn't wait to find an excuse to get rid of this annoying guy in front of him.
"Nobody told me, I calculated it myself...... Bu Tianxing spoke in a weird way, he took out a few cards from his sleeve in a hurry, and said with a cold smile, "Predicted by heaven, not only do I know about your 'Mingfu Sect', but you will sneak attack here today, and I have already fore......seen it."
"You said you had foreknowledge?" Listening to the other party's strange tone, the leader couldn't help but ask inexplicably.
"Of course, it is a 'prophet' below, the number of heaven's destiny, the fixed number of people, and it can be predicted by arithmetic ...... below" Bu Tianxing slowly pulled out a card with flying insects in his hand, and continued to figure it out, "This card is your fate, moths fight the fire in a swarm, and in the end they can only kill themselves here......"
"Hmph, the charlatans are here to confuse the public, and if they don't leave, don't blame us for being polite!" The leader still cheered and reminded, and did not do it directly, after all, the purpose of the "Ming Fu Sect" is to "expel Meng Yuan", and they did not directly attack the ordinary people attached to the capital. It's just that this time, Bu Tianxing seems to have really angered the other party.
"You burned down the house below, and now you want to kill people again, don't you......" Bu Tianxing continued to show a weird smile, and said coldly, "The words that say 'expelling the tyranny of Meng Yuan' are actually just some thugs who hurt innocent people...... You wretched are not worthy of being in the world, so use your sinful blood to become food for the sacrifice to the 'Lord of Evils'......"
"Full of nonsense here, kill him for me——" The leader finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said with murderous intent.
The disciples of the "Mingfu Sect" did not hesitate, and raised their swords to besiege Bu Tianxing.
And Bu Tianxing was still unmoved, but he didn't hurry to hold up the crystal ball in his hand, and seemed to be confident.
"What the hell is that crystal ball......" The leader looked at the inexplicable thing in Bu Tianxing's hand, and had some doubts in his heart, and every time he looked at Bu Tianxing's eyes, there was an invisible oppression close to him.
Under the firelight, the crystal ball seemed to feel Bu Tianxing's spiritual will, faintly flashing with a chilling "blood-red light", like a demon's eyes, looking at everything hideously.
"Kill ——" and the "Mingfu Sect" disciples gathered around them didn't seem to know it, and they waved their swords one after another, and they went towards Bu Tianxing.
Bu Tianxing saw it in his eyes, and his eyes were full of fierce light: "Let's come together, gather countless filthy blood, and let you see the power of the 'demon'——"
The next moment the killing intent gathered, the "demon" suddenly opened his eyes......
