At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly heard a change outside the mansion, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Then a person came to the court, and his appearance was also dignified, and he also showed the style of a gentleman in advance and retreat.

"Who are you, why are you here this time?" Xiao Feng asked with his hand in his hand.

The man immediately replied with his head bowed: "A certain is Zheng Heng, the fourteenth lang of Zheng Qing, and today on the orders of his father, he is asking Commander Xiao to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to talk about it. ”

"Ci'en Temple?" Xiao Feng couldn't help frowning, revealing some doubts.

The Temple of Mercy and Grace is built on the roof outside Lin'an, since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty has a history of more than 500 years, among which there are countless cultivators, who are the first and second figures of the earth immortals, and there are also many obsessive lines. After the Song Dynasty moved south, because of the favor of the emperor for a long time, its power was out of control, and it was favored by many people who abandoned the mundane, and became a place to retreat to seclusion.

Gen Yong'en, who is now presiding over the Dharma, is an earth immortal who has cultivated the Dharma.

Choosing here, what is Zheng Qingzhi's intention?

Xiao Feng looked at Zheng Heng with a bit of caution.

Zheng Hengli felt the pressure doubled, and said: "That's right, it's the Temple of Mercy and Grace." And after all, today is the opening time of the Meng Lan Festival, so my father invited Xiao Tong to go and see the Meng Lan Festival!

"So it's the Meng Lan Festival? So, is it already July 15?"

Xiao Feng suddenly sighed, only then did she notice that it was the middle of July, and more than a month had passed since she left.

The rest of the month flies in a flash, and it is really time flies, which is difficult to grasp.

But when he thought about the Mongolian army, Xiao Feng became nervous, after all, there were only less than three months before Mongolia went south, and if he didn't continue to speed up, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it at that time.

The Mongols lived in bitter cold and could only move south during winter and spring, so the Mongol army would start to move after the winter of October, and she needed to prepare in advance to avoid losing her troops by then.

Zheng Heng saw that Xiao Feng seemed to be puzzled, and asked again: "Exactly! Just looking at Commander Xiao's face, is he unwilling to go?"

"No, it's just a matter of remembering something. If you lead the way, I will follow you. Xiao Feng restrained his expression, but he was unwilling to tell what he thought in his heart, so he just pointed out the door and motioned for Zheng Heng to lead the way ahead.

Zheng Heng naturally didn't dare to refuse, in fact, he didn't even have the courage to ask, and before the two of them came to the Ci'en Temple, he led Xiao Feng towards the mountain. After walking a cup of tea, I came to a stone forest place, where countless bamboos grew outside, and the bamboos formed a circle to protect the stone forest firmly in the center, making it difficult to find this place, and there were two stone benches and a stone table in the stone forest.

In the distance, Zheng Qingzhi was already sitting on the stone bench, and there was a pot of tea and two teacups on the stone table, but there were some candied fruits and other things.

"Why are you looking for me to come here?" Xiao Feng frowned and asked directly.

These days, she has really learned the methods of these scholars, and they say that they are easy, but when they are implemented, they always push back, which is really unpleasant.

Zheng Qingzhi sighed slightly, raised his eyes slightly and shook his head lightly at Zheng Heng.

Zheng Heng knew that his status was low, so he immediately left from here.

Then Zheng Qingzhi picked up the teacup on the stone table with his own hands, gently slantly cleared the tea and emitted a fragrance, splashed it into the red lacquered teacup, and waved his hand at Xiao Fengyi and said, "It is precisely to solve your troubles that I invited you here." ”

"You mean the king?"

Xiao Feng paced over and immediately sat on the stone bench, but the tea pushed in front of him was not touched.

"That's right. Feng Wang!" Zheng Qingzhi nodded and replied: "You are also the commander of the Red Phoenix Army, you should know how to act if the government decree is not smooth, and if you repeat the incident of An Lushan at that time, it will be troublesome." ”

With a "bang", Xiao Feng didn't wait to drink tea, and had already put the teacup on the stone table.

I saw that her eyes were full of anger, and she shouted: "You guy, you actually defile me with An Lushan, don't you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Definitely. ”

Zheng Qingzhi was also full of determination, and he didn't care much about what Xiao Feng said.

After a pause, he pondered in his heart for a moment before he complained: "It's just that since I am a deacon of the Song Dynasty, then the affairs of this court are not my business alone." In order to give an explanation to the officials and the ministers, it is absolutely impossible for me to accept what you are asking for. ”

Xiao Feng sneered and sneered, "Oh, then according to what you mean, what should I do?

"This-"

Zheng Qingzhi smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and replied: "Commander Xiao, don't make fun of me. He is a deacon, so he naturally knows that Xiao Feng, like himself, has a limit in his heart, and will never hand over his military power to the Song Dynasty, but when he thinks of the situation a few days ago, he complained: "And I came here today to ask for the purpose of eliminating the contradictions between the two of us, so as not to continue to drag on these things." ”

"It's not that I'm unwilling to solve it, it's all because Er and the others are too rampant, not to mention the violation of my Fengwu Mansion, even these days you and the others have also turned a deaf ear to me. I'm also the leader of one party, so what kind of behavior can be regarded as an attitude to discuss things?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Feng immediately became angry.

She came here to conclude an alliance, but these scholars repeatedly obstructed her under various names, and even entangled her with Zhu Yuzhen's affairs, making it difficult for her to move an inch at all, and she could only sit in Fengwu Mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't understood the matter yet, Xiao Feng even planned to take Zhu Yuzhen and Yang Feng directly and leave directly from this Lin'an City.

Zheng Qingyi was dumbfounded for a while, and immediately apologized: "Alas. These days, I am also busy with the forbidden army, so I have not escaped, so I have not noticed their actions. If Commander Xiao has any discomfort, he can tell me, and I will naturally handle them one by one. Fu had some difficulties, hesitated for a moment, and then complained: "It's just that Commander Xiao should also know that it is only less than three months before Mongolia goes south. But I don't know what Commander Xiao thinks about the southward movement of Mongolia?"

"Finally getting down to business?"

Xiao Feng thought secretly in his heart, looking at Zheng Qingzhi's sad expression, he was sure that the other party was not a fake, and then he complained: "Regarding this matter, there should have been arrangements in our army, so there is no need to worry." It's just that how is your army going to deal with it?"

"About the matter. The official family has been handed over to Zhao Kui and Meng Heng to be fully responsible, if there are two of them to guard, our dynasty should be fine. It's just that the war ended, the money and grain consumed have increased sharply by several times, and the treasury of our dynasty is now depleted, which is really difficult to support. At that time, if there is an accident, even if the whole country can be protected, I am afraid that it will also lose troops and shake the country's foundation. Zheng Qingzhi shook his head, the wrinkles crisscrossing his forehead were all painful, and he was even more exhausted.

Xiao Feng remained motionless and continued to complain: "So what?"

For the Song Dynasty, she has no interest, let alone the intention of relieving the people, after all, she still has a large family to take care of, but she does not have the leisure time to be the disciple of the holy monk who illuminates all living beings.

Zheng Qingzhi saw that Xiao Feng's expression was not moving, and the bitterness on his face was a little unbearable, and he whispered again: "Alas! Commander Xiao is a person who raised troops in the north, and he should know that Mongolia has always been cruel, and everywhere he goes, there are no living beings and no vegetation. In the face of such an enemy, we naturally did not dare to slack off, but there were many constraints on the DPRK and China, and it was difficult to fulfill many things, so it was difficult to have a complete grasp. When the time comes, if Commander Xiao is willing to help one or two, presumably the people in the court should also have a great opinion of you. ”

It's not that he hasn't learned about the forbidden army these days, but this forbidden army has long been occupied by warlords of various factions, and it is even more through marriage, and the royal family is very involved, which is not difficult to solve in a short period of time, even if these forbidden troops are equipped with a series of new firearms, but still have not changed their corrupt nature.

"I'm afraid it's hard. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Zheng Xianggong." Don't think that my Red Phoenix Army is at its peak and its momentum is strong, but the territory I currently occupy is too narrow, and there is no room for maneuvering, and if I want to fight against Mongolia at that time, I am afraid that I will borrow from the territory of the Gui Dynasty. When the time comes, if it reaches the DPRK, I am afraid that the voice of the people who will be lifted upside down by me Xiao will not be caught, but will be poured on a basin of rebellious and rebellious notoriety. ”

"This!"

Zheng Qingzhi looked stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Isn't it inevitable to avoid it?"

Although Xiao Feng's words seemed to be humble, but in fact, there was a threat in his voice, how could he not understand these words with Zheng Qingzhi's experience?

"In a major military event, Xiao doesn't dare to take risks with the whole army. Xiao Feng shook his head, also full of determination.

At that time, if the Mongol army really threatened the fundamental existence of the Chifeng Army, Xiao Feng would not be a stupid person like Song Xianggong who abides by benevolence and righteousness, all in order to improve the entire strategic situation, but I am afraid that there will be friction with the Song Dynasty.

"This. ”

Zheng Qingzhi's eyes looked intently at the woman in front of him, but when he saw Xiao Feng's calm expression and the resolute look in his eyes was fully displayed, he knew that the other party would never give up what he had done before, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied: "Zheng understands." ”

"If it's okay, then I'll go back first. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and was about to get up and leave this place.

There are only two people in Fengwu Mansion, Yang Fenghuan and Zhu Yuzhen, she is really worried about the safety of the two of them, and she is afraid that there will be any accidents.

"Commander Xiao, I wonder if you can wait a while?" Zheng Qingzhi saw that Xiao Feng was about to leave, and immediately said in a voice.

Xiao Feng frowned, looked back and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Qingzhi calmed down the boiling in his heart, and said slowly: "Today is the Menglan Bon Festival, I wonder if Commander Xiao is interested in going to have a look?"

Then another person came from outside the stone forest, this person was dressed in a robe, and his face was very kind, and it was the presiding officer of this temple of mercy and grace, Master Yong'en.

I saw him clasp his hands together and salute Xiao Feng: "That's right." Legend has it that every next day, the Hell King will open the door of the ghosts, and then the ghosts will enter the yang world through this gate, so that they can meet their living relatives. And every time we come on this day, we will hold an unhindered assembly to recite Buddhist scriptures for the people in the city, and transcend the souls of the dead. I wonder if Commander Xiao is willing to take a look?"

Xiao Feng's heart moved, and when he looked at this person carefully, he felt that since this person, there was a vast and solemn aura in his body, although he was not as good as himself in the sky and angry, but he was better than Zhongzheng and peaceful, with a mellow breath, and he was also an earth immortal figure.

"What are these two people doing?"

glanced at Zheng Qingzhi sideways, but Xiao Feng was wondering if the two had colluded, otherwise Zheng Qingzhi had just finished talking, and this guy would have come out and intercept him directly?

Such a coincidence, she didn't think it was purely a chance encounter, but she was afraid that she should have other plans in the future.

"That's right. The person in charge of this grand event is Gen Yongen. From behind, Zheng Qingzhi also stepped forward and introduced: "And every time he exerts his divine might, he makes the people in the city worship him, among which those who are cured without medicine abound, and they are also used to eliminate disasters and diseases, so they are called 'holy monks' by the people at that time." With such a grand scene, I wonder if Commander Xiao would like to take a look?"

"In that case, I'll go and have a look. ”

Xiao Feng heard Zheng Qingzhi also speak, and the two of them were both with strong invitations, which made her unable to refuse, so she had to respond.

"And when we fought with the Mongolian army before, there were many dead and wounded in our army, so it is better to take this opportunity to pay tribute to them to the sky. so that they may be at peace in heaven and no longer suffer from this sword and soldier. ”

Master Yongen smiled, bowed to Xiao Fengyingying again, and said, "Commander Xiao is benevolent, so naturally they can enjoy their days in peace. The little monk thanked him this time. ”

"That said. But we must not forget the mortals. After all, we are doing our best, isn't it just for the peace and tranquility of the people in this world?" Xiao Feng also looked back, and then followed behind the two of them and came to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

In front of the treasure hall, there was already a crowd of people, and they were all crowded on the square.

When Master Yong'en appeared, all these people knelt down, and the black pressure spread out of the square, so that there was only this boundless crowd in front of people, and their mouths were constantly chanting Buddhist scriptures, and all the voices gathered together to condense into a vast and solemn Buddha sound.

As the saying goes, there are tens of thousands of people, and they use the sky to cover the sun.

And here, how many tens of thousands?

Xiao Feng even doubted that the people of the entire Lin'an City had all gathered here.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng couldn't help but show a little disgust, but as soon as he thought about the two people beside him, he immediately hid this look in his eyes and never exposed it.

Zheng Qingzhi swept it lightly, took this change in expression into his eyes, and said again: "The world is ignorant, and they don't know the so-called reincarnation of life and death, but the way of heaven. Therefore, it is pinned on the illusory gods, otherwise" Xiao Feng even doubted whether the people of the entire Lin'an City had all gathered here.
