Chapter 27: The Past Is Like (1)
The twenty-seventh episode is the same as before
The heroes present listened to Gao Fenglin's eloquent talk, as if they had been in the smoke of the beacon fire, and they were silent for a long time, and they didn't know who shouted "good" in the crowd, and the heroes came over in a trance.
Qian Dajin took a deep breath and asked:
"Could it be that what happened today was also planned by An Lushan?"
Gao Fenglin said:
"Half a year ago, we got the news in Luoyang that Zoroastrianism will respond to An Lushan and raise troops in various parts of Hebei. From today, it seems that the Holy Gate also made a deal with An Lushan to assist the Zoroastrians. β
Since everyone present today was plotted by Zoroastrianism and the Holy Gate, the entire Jiangnan martial arts was almost destroyed in an instant.
As a result, the sense of crisis among all of you present is getting heavier and heavier. At this moment, they heard that An Lushan, Zoroastrianism, and the Holy Gate had joined forces to annex Jiangnan, which was something they didn't want to see.
Just the Zoroastrianism and the Holy Gate teamed up to almost destroy the entire Jiangnan martial arts, if An Lushan is added, let alone the entire Jiangnan martial arts, even if it is the entire Jiangnan Dao, it will be easily controlled by An Lushan.
"An Lushan wolf's ambition, I didn't expect to want to encroach on my land south of the Yangtze River, brothers, Brother Gao is right, we should respond to the imperial court, respond to Guo Lao Linggong, only Brother Gao is the first to look forward, in order to hold my inch of land in the south of the Yangtze River, not to be implicated in the war. β
Gao Fenglin looked up, and it was Situ Xing, the master of Hanyu Hall, who spoke. Situ Xing took the lead, and the heroes responded one after another, and it was naturally a matter of course for Gao Fenglin to be the leader of the alliance.
Immediately open the hall and erect incense, prepare chicken and duck fruit offerings, tell the sky, and pray to the earth. Gao Fenglin is the head of the Jiangnan League, the deputy leaders of the alliance are Yang Bufan and Gongsun Shu, Qian Dajin is the general manager, and the heads of each faction perform their duties and are in charge of the disciples of each faction.
In the future, the first rule of the alliance is to prohibit the alliance from fighting, so as to ensure the stability and good development of the alliance.
For this reason, Qian Dajin spent a lot of money to buy a magnificent alliance lord's mansion in Jinling City, Gao Fenglin came to Jiangnan less than five days, and lived in this alliance lord's mansion, the pavilions and pavilions in this mansion are all very magnificent.
Gao Fenglin always thought that Qian Dajin was too extravagant and wasteful, but Qian Dajin said that this alliance lord's mansion represents the faΓ§ade of the entire Jiangnan martial arts, and he can't be sloppy, so he has to have such a style, so Gao Fenglin had to live in the alliance leader's mansion.
As soon as he moved into the alliance leader's mansion, there were many warriors from the rivers and lakes who came to join him, and for a while, the alliance leader's mansion was full of people, and people who wanted to join the Jiangnan League abounded.
Gao Fenglin is not good at handling these things, but fortunately, there is money and gold, and there are 38 states in the south of the Yangtze River, east and west, and hundreds of gold and silver stores and cabinets are well organized, which is a piece of cake for him.
But a few of them were not idle, and sent out a lot of people, all over the south of the Yangtze River, to inquire about the news of Zoroastrianism, the Holy Gate, and An Lushan. For this reason, Qian Dajin also set up a special intelligence hall, and the people in this intelligence hall are specially involved in investigating the wind and grass in the rivers and lakes, and they have to report to the alliance leader's mansion every day.
By the time everything was arranged, half a month had passed, and although there was very little news about Zoroastrianism and the Holy Gate, everything was already on track.
Gao Fenglin should also be thinking about when to go to Yangzhou, before leaving, Guo Ziyi gave Gao Fenglin a letter, asking him to send it to Master Miaozhong of Jingtong Temple in Yangzhou. Guo Ziyi specially explained that he wanted him to personally deliver it to Master Miaozhong,
Presumably, this letter is very important.
Mo Zhengxu stayed in Jiangnan for a few days and then returned to Sanqingguan, and Liu Xianyuan and Chen Daoqing also returned to Xuzhou. Gao Fenglin left Ping Qingyun and Zhang Xuan to help Qian Dajin deal with many matters in the alliance leader's mansion, and went to Yangzhou alone.
Jinling City to Yangzhou about 200 miles, Gao Fenglin set off early in the morning, crossed the Yangtze River near Qixia Mountain, and then went all the way to Yangzhou, arrived in Yangzhou at noon, after arriving in Yangzhou, he asked around about the location of Jingtong Temple, but there were not many people who knew, and inquired all noon, and no one had heard where this Jingtong Temple was.
Gao Fenglin also wondered if Guo Ziyi had misremembered the name of the temple, and he had asked all the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, but no one had heard of this Jingtong Temple.
So Gao Fenglin had to ride a horse to the vicinity to find and ask, when he arrived near Guangling, he saw that the grass and trees were not far away, the rivers were staggered, and the scenery was quite good. So get off the horse and walk, meet an old man, then ask if you know Jingtong Temple, the old man pointed to a forest in the north, Gao Fenglin walked along the road, but how long did he see a cold and dilapidated temple, the temple door is written on the three words "Jingtong Temple".
This temple is located in a plane tree, no wonder it is called Jingtong Temple. Gao Fenglin dismounted and knocked on the door, and a monk about twenty years old opened the door, folded his hands, and said:
"Amitabha, I don't know what happened to the donor?"
Gao Fenglin returned the salute with a raised palm and said:
"Little master, I was ordered by my uncle Guo Ziyi to come to find a master of Miaozhong and send a letter. β
As soon as the monk heard that it was Guo Ziyi's letter, he hurriedly opened the temple door and led Gao Fenglin in. The whole temple is not very large, there are only seven or eight houses in front and back, and there are only about a dozen monks in it. The monk led Gao Fenglin to the good hall, but after a while, a little novice looked at the tea.
Gao Fenglin drank two sips of tea, and then heard the sound of footsteps outside the door in a hurry, and looked out, but it was the monk who opened the door just now and an old monk in his fifties rushed over together.
Gao Fenglin hurriedly got up to greet him, the old monk was Miaozhong, and when he entered the door, he folded his hands and said to Gao Fenglin:
"The donor came from afar, and the poor monk was unwelcome, guilty of sin. β
Gao Fenglin also folded his hands:
"The master doesn't have to be polite, dare to ask the master if he is a master of Miaozhong?"
"It's the poor monk, the donor was sent by Guo Linggong. β
Gao Fenglin nodded yes and took out the letter from his arms:
"This is what my uncle asked me to send in person, and I must deliver it to the master by hand, and ask the master to open it in person. β
Miao Zhong thanked him, took the letter with both hands, and opened it in front of Gao Fenglin. Miao Zhong looked at what was said in the letter, his expression became more and more solemn, and after reading it, he looked at it again, glanced at Gao Fenglin a few more times, and asked:
"Donor, did Guo Linggong personally hand over this letter to you and let you personally deliver it?"
Gao Fenglin nodded and said:
"Exactly, master, I see that there is something wrong with your expression, is something happening?"
Master Miao Zhong shook his head and said:
"It's not that something happened, it's that something comes to mind. β
Gao Fenglin asked, "What's the matter?"
Miao Zhong looked at Gao Fenglin's face and looked at it for a long time before saying, "A secret that we have guarded for more than 20 years. β
Gao Fenglin was shocked!(To be continued.) )
