"Knock, knock. ”

A gentle knock on the door, one long and two short.

Zhu Di stood in front of the door of the quiet room, and his voice was low: "Disturb the master Qingxiu, Xiao Wang is guilty." But there is a matter to discuss, please see the master. ”

Although this Yanwang Mansion and even this large Beiping City are theoretically under the control of the imperial court, in fact, he Yan Wang Zhu Di is the real ruler. But in front of this hut, his attitude was unusually respectful. This is the due respect for the humerus of his subordinates, and from the attitude of this corporal Lixian, Zhu Di does have the posture of a hero.

The dark memories were interrupted by this knock on the door, and the so-called Qingxiu did not actually exist in the first place.

After a Buddha horn, the door opened twice, and Dao Yan stood opposite Zhu Di and bowed slightly: "Lord Wang." ”

Zhu Di is in front, and Dao Yan is in the back. The two of them went to the antechamber, but did not enter the ashram.

Two hours ago, Beiping Tong sentenced Li Duo to death in the study, a sword pierced the heart, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. ”

"But it's a good thing. Dao Yan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "His mind is shaken, although he is called the prince, he is actually insatiable." On the first day, I am afraid that he will not be a person who can be loyal to the prince. In the previous policy set by the poor monk, there was no intention to protect his life, and the prince should have known it. ”

"It's just... Zhu Di nodded, frowning: "Recently, many people from the rivers and lakes have gathered in the city, and they have entered openly and secretly. Although a group of them were killed by the master's good strategy before, now there are more of them. Xiao Wang knew that the master wanted to use the knife to kill people and clean up and down Beiping. But now that Li Duo is dead, can the remaining small fish and shrimp be put away?

Oh, don't misunderstand, it's not that Xiao Wang is soft-hearted. It's that the people in the city are now panicking, and the civil and military have no intention of government affairs and military aircraft. In the long run, it will be unfavorable to my Beiping. ”

Did someone say something again?

Dao Yan shook his head and said, "What the prince said is also reasonable. The Yanyu Building changed hands, and it was also a disaster in the end. In the past, it was a net to be caught, but now it is a little difficult to cast a net again. After all, these Jianghu guests are neither military nor civilian, and they are indeed difficult. Dao Yan stopped and pondered for a moment: "Don't worry about the prince, the poor monk already has a plan in his heart." This matter was handed over to the poor monk to arrange. ”

"Where is the master?" Zhu Di saw that Dao Yan had changed his direction, and asked out loud: "Your body... ”

"It doesn't matter, the poor monk knows it. Dao Yan smiled, but went straight to the outside of the mansion.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, and the distance was not far away.

There were no people in the city, except for the soldiers and men who patrolled the city.

Dao Yan was carrying a lantern, and the moon-white monk's robe and bright head looked very eye-catching. Several waves of soldiers wanted to come forward to ask, but they saw the palace token hanging from the other party's waist and hurriedly retreated.

Dao Yan didn't have a clear purpose, just walked around, walked through the streets and alleys, turned around the streets, and walked in the alleys. He's looking for someone, but he doesn't know where the other party is, so he can only use his own methods to let the other party come to him.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!"

"Bell~"

A gong sounded, and the time had come.

Look up, the moon is in the middle of the sky. Looking down again, at the end of the alley, a monk suddenly appeared, walked towards him, standing on his chest with one palm and holding the Buddha salute, also wearing a moon-white monk's robe, looking at it through the moonlight, his eyebrows were clear.

"Wusheng, I've seen my senior brother. Walking closer, Wusheng said softly.

"As I said, the poor monk is not your senior brother... Never mind. Dao Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha." Do the poor monk a favor, and the poor monk will return those Sikong Xuan and Shi Zhen to you, how about it?"

"Senior brother, please speak, junior brother do his best. ”

"It's not about trying, it's about doing it. Dao Yan said quietly: "Otherwise, the poor monk will kill them all." ”

"Senior brother... ”

Dao Yan raised his hand and said: "You and I don't have much affection, the rotten Ke Temple will be destroyed, and the last trace of involvement will be broken, and it is useless to talk about those vainness, it is better to say something real."

Xu Ruyi sent someone to the north to parallel the matter of Jing Ke's departure, stirring up the wind and rain. Your White Lotus Sect has strength and power in this Beiping. Help the poor monk find them, kill them, and the poor monk will release them, how about it?"

"Impossible. Wusheng shook his head and said in an astringent voice: "Senior brother should know that the matter of cooperating with Dongchang is a decision made by the Buddha's mother. Wusheng is only a protector of the Dharma and has no power to change it. ”

"No, you have. Dao Yan said with a smile: "Tang Sai'er is not here, Sikong Xuanshi is really captured by the poor monk again." In the left and right of Beiping, you are the speaker of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect has a strict hierarchy above and below, as long as you speak, the lower ones will naturally listen. How can you use the word "office" to prevaricate?"

Wusheng looked at Dao Yan with a tangled expression, Dao Yan just smiled, a pair of triangular eyes narrowed, waiting.

Half a day

Wuchang sighed and looked at Dao Yan pleadingly: "Senior brother's posture, what senior brother can think of, senior brother naturally won't understand." Yanyu Building is now under the command of Dongchang. If the junior brother is against him, it is a break with the East Factory. It wouldn't be much if it had been. But now the Bright Dome has been rebuilt. If he annoys the factory and sends an army to fight, then the junior brother is a White Lotus sinner.

Even if Sikong Xuan and they are alive at this time, we will not have the face to talk back in front of the Buddha's mother, and what the senior brother invited, if the junior brother is unwilling, he really can't. ”

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying. Dao Yan nodded, and suddenly asked, "Then if the poor monk tells you that he Xu Ruyi is afraid that his life will not be long, what should you do?"

"What?"

"You hear that, why bother asking. Dao Yan said with a smile: "The poor monk has laid a net in the capital, counting the days, and in five days, it will be the period when he Xu Ruyi does not tolerate heaven and earth." News exchanges between the two places, well... Ten days later, you should receive the message. If so, would you like to do the poor monk this favor?"

Wusheng lowered his head and pinched his fingers to calculate silently for a moment, then raised his head: "We are trapped in Beiping, and the Buddha Mother should have received the news now." Ten days long, I believe that the Buddha Mother will also come in person. If it is really as the senior brother said, then maybe there is no need to open your mouth, and the Buddha Mother will make a decision. ”

"Yes, but within these ten days, you still need to make some arrangements secretly. Isn't it possible to find out the other party's heels and feet?" Speaking of this, Dao Yan turned around and walked towards the other end of the alley: "In these ten days, there will be no more casualties in Beiping. No matter what you do, as long as you remember that if one person dies in Beiping, the poor monk will pick off a head of your White Lotus Sect. Two people died, and the poor monk took two people to their lives. The chips in the poor monk's hands are not much, but the weight of them is you can grasp by yourself. ”

"Senior brother!"

That's it. ”

Standing still, watching Dao Yan disappear at the entrance of the alley, this night... It's cool.
