Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Seven: The ruler treats his ministers like a mustard, and the ministers treat the ruler as his enemy
The riots in Bin Township, Youfufeng are still going on...
Under the guidance of some "understanding people" among the soldiers, they were not a little loose like ordinary soldiers who lacked leadership after a mutiny, but always maintained a strong combat effectiveness. On the other hand, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan were
He was hesitant and hesitant when questioned, and had to talk to him left and right several times.
"General Erzhu, you are committing treason by sending the armor. If you want to commit treason, don't take us with you. We won't do anything that will kill your head..."
"That's right! If you don't do it..."
"Turn around, let's go back to Chang'an. Whoever wants to give away the armor, we won't give it away..."
"Yes! Go back to Chang'an..."
"..."
"Brothers, brothers, you can't go back to Chang'an..."
Er Zhuhuan raised his hands, trying to calm down the "excited" soldiers in front of him.
"This armor was really sent to Qingzhou secretly by the prince. If we return to Chang'an like this, the prince will definitely convict us. Then we will lose our heads too! But if we complete this mission secretly
If so, the prince will definitely reward you..."
"A reward!"
A "man who understands" raised his arms and shouted.
"Kakashi was loyal to the prince back then, and he didn't just die in Shu in confusion. We won't be fooled by this!"
"right……"
Under the guidance of this understanding man, the other soldiers also raised their arms and shouted.
"Don't be fooled by this!"
"So brothers, what do you think we should do now?"
Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan looked at the rebellious men with wry smiles on their faces, looking helpless.
"The armors have all been shipped out of Chang'an. We are also guilty of smuggling the armors. If we don't follow the prince, we will go all the way. Do we want to take these armors to rebel?"
"..."
After hearing their words, most of these soldiers were stunned.
yes!
Even if they don't want to be accused of smuggling armor, what can they do?
"We can file a complaint..."
One of the "understanding men" among the soldiers began to raise his arms and shout.
"The saint is in Renzhi Palace now. We bring the armor to see the saint. We will tell him that the matter of smuggling the armor is the prince's idea and let the saint make his own decision."
Under this understanding man's advice, the remaining soldiers quickly thought of this remaining way out.
"Yes! Go to Renzhi Palace and report to the saint..."
"We are not rebellious..."
"Go to the saint. The saint will definitely understand us..."
"..."
Seeing that the soldiers in front of them had begun to unite in their opinions and expressed that they were going to Renzhi Palace to report to the saint, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan, who looked sad, looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
good!
This time the task assigned by King Qin can be completed perfectly!
However, before the two of them could get off the slope and stand up to express their support for the soldiers' idea, when they all went to Renzhi Palace to complain, two gray figures suddenly rushed out of the woods next to them, with lightning speed.
They rushed into the team in front of them.
Plop! Plop! Plop...
One after another, the sensible men among the soldiers were caught by the gray shadow, thrown out of the crowd, and fell in front of everyone.
After seeing this scene in front of them, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan were both shocked. Then they drew their swords out of their sheaths and shouted.
"Enemy attack! Formation!"
The next moment, the two of them heard a soft voice coming from the opposite side.
"General Erzhu, don't be nervous!"
Following the words, an old monk with a white beard, holding a Buddhist bead, slowly walked out of the woods nearby.
"The old monk is Zhixuan of the Fahua Sect, and he came to assist the two generals on orders from the prince!"
"It turns out to be Master Zhixuan..."
Although Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan had never met this old monk before, they also knew that a group of masters from the Fahua Sect were assisting the prince, so they did not doubt the other's identity too much and saluted with clasped fists.
"I don't know why you are here, master?"
"The old monk is here to help the two generals out of trouble..."
The old monk first nodded to Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan, then turned around and spoke gently to the group of soldiers in front of him.
"Everyone, please don't be taken advantage of by some of these people with ulterior motives. Just imagine, transporting armor is naturally a serious crime for ordinary people, but is it also a serious crime for the prince who oversees the country? The prince is like a saint.
They are father and son, and they have very deep feelings for each other. I am afraid that if you go to Renzhi Palace to file a complaint and fail, you will be accused of falsely accusing the prince."
The old monk spoke in a slightly low voice, with a kind of magnetism, as if a basin of cold water was poured on it, which instantly calmed down the already excited soldiers.
Plop!
Another soldier was thrown out of the team by the figure in gray and fell to the ground.
After the soldier was captured, the two gray-clothed figures who took action seemed to have completed their tasks. As their bodies swayed, they appeared behind the old monk Zhixuan. It turned out to be two monks wearing gray robes.
middle-aged monk.
"Everyone, please think about it carefully."
Old monk Zhixuan pointed at the fallen people on the ground who had been captured by the men in gray from the soldiers.
"Are these the people who have been clamoring to report you just now? Did they tell you that you were going to report to the saint? Did you not have such an idea at all before..."
After all the sensible ones among these soldiers were captured, the originally uniform voices of the remaining soldiers began to become sparse under the gentle and magnetic voice of the old monk Zhixuan.
"It seems so..."
"The prince and the saint are father and son. As the saying goes, they cannot be close if they are not close..."
"But what if we are discovered on the way transporting the armor? This is a crime of losing one's head?"
"..."
"Come, take a look again..."
With a smile on his face, the old monk Zhixuan pointed at the thrown soldiers on the ground, and then said softly.
"Who are these people who want to harm you? Did they listen to the instigation of others..."
Before the old monk Zhixuan finished speaking, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan, who were standing behind him, had raised their long swords without hesitation and pointed them at the two middle-aged monks in front of them.
Just stabbed it.
The incident happened suddenly. None of the three monks, including Zhixuan, expected that such a thing would happen. The two middle-aged monks only had time to subconsciously dodge, but they still did not completely avoid it. They were hit by a long knife on their sides.
A big gash was made under his ribs.
After the sword was successful, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan did not stop, but rushed forward and rushed into the soldiers on the opposite side. At the same time, they raised the long sword in their hands.
"Fifth, listen to the order, circle formation!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the soldiers around them had subconsciously spread out and formed a defensive formation.
While Er Zhuhuan was controlling the formation, Qiao Gongshan on the other side swung his sword.
"The secret technique of military strategists is as immovable as a mountain!"
Looking at the actions of the two people in front of him, Monk Zhixuan finally understood completely.
"I see……"
Monk Zhixuan turned his head to look at the injured middle-aged monks. When he saw them nodding silently, indicating that nothing was wrong, he turned his head and said in a gentle voice.
"The old monk didn't expect that it was the two generals who wanted to accuse the prince."
"good!"
Er Zhuhuan shook the long knife in his hand with an angry look on his face.
"It is a capital crime to transport these armors! If the prince is sympathetic to someone, he should give someone a warrant to transport the armor. Anyway, he and the saint are father and son. This crime is insignificant to him, but he refuses to give it to him no matter what.
I just want someone to take the blame for this..."
Then, Qiao Gongshan, who was standing next to him, also said.
"If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit..."
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
Monk Zhixuan put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
"Senior Brother Zhiyue is indeed aware that the transportation of the armor this time is indeed the cause of the disaster. If this is the case, then the old monk will have no choice but to use thunderbolt methods..."
Da da da……
Just before Monk Zhixuan finished speaking, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.
Monk Zhixuan turned around and saw smoke billowing on the galloping road in the distance, and a black iron stream appeared. At the front of this team were three knights wearing bright light armor and visors on their faces.
.
"This is……"
Seeing Tie Liu appearing, Monk Zhixuan's originally calm face instantly broke through.
"The Black Armor Cavalry of Tiance Mansion?"
At this time, at the front of this black iron stream, a certain fat general with a visor on his face looked in the direction of Monk Zhixuan and the others, raised the horse in his hand and pointed at them, using a strange expression
The voice let out a loud shout.
"The Yin soldiers are crossing the border, mortals should give in!"
…
Just when the riot in Binxiang turned into a small conflict, a woman in gorgeous clothes walked into the gate of Qingdu Temple with a cold expression on her face.
"Taoist priest……"
The woman walked to the side of the main hall, where a Taoist priest from Qingdu Temple who was reading fortunes for pilgrims and doing divination, knocked on the table with her hand.
"The Nu family heard that the name of the master of your Qingdu Temple is Qingwei, and he is the supervisor of the Taishi Bureau, right?"
"Exactly!"
The Taoist priest raised his head and saw the beautiful face of the woman in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up and his voice became a little more enthusiastic.
"Is this lady also coming to our Headmaster for divination? I'm really sorry, our Headmaster is not in the temple today, but Xiao Daoye's divination skills have also been passed down by our Headmaster. If you don't mind it, you can
Let me serve my wife from the small road..."
"It's just Qingwei from the Taishi Bureau..."
A sneer appeared on the beautiful woman's face, she turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard of Qingdu Temple.
"The slave family is just looking for him!"
"Wait a minute, madam!"
When the Taoist priest saw that this beautiful woman was about to walk towards their backyard after a disagreement, he quickly got up and took two steps to stop her in front of her.
"This courtyard is not a place for offering incense, but a temporary residence for pilgrims. Madams are not allowed to intrude..."
When she saw the Taoist priest standing in front of her, the beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and swatted him away without hesitation.
"roll!"
boom!
After a muffled sound, the divination Taoist priest was directly slapped by the woman into a rolling gourd, and fell in along the courtyard door. Then he heard a sputtering sound coming from the courtyard, as if he had fallen in.
The Taoist priest smashed something in the yard.
"Be bold!"
The next moment, a delicate voice came from the courtyard.
"Who dares to offend me!"
Following the words, a girl who was only 16 or 17 in palace clothes rushed out of the yard with majesty.
"I must..."
Before she finished speaking, the gorgeous woman and the majestic girl were both stunned at the same time.
