Chapter 187 Good and evil, spectators and roles
The moon is in the sky.
In the pavilion, the song ends.
Anemone sat pretty in front of the piano, her beautiful eyes seemed to be more brilliant than the bright moon in the sky.
Lu Baifeng stood nearby and looked at her with a complicated expression.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing done!"
Haikui said calmly.
Lu Baifeng naturally wouldn't believe this. Although he didn't know exactly what the people on Xiaoyao Island did, he knew that if something happened on Xiaoyao Island, it would definitely be a big deal.
"You seem to be worried about me!" Haikui raised his head and looked at him with clear eyes.
Lu Baifeng was unmoved. He just shook his head gently and said, "No!"
"Then why do you ask?"
Lu Baifeng stood under the eaves of the pavilion, looking at the mountain forest stained with frost by the moonlight.
"I just think you're going to fail."
"Why?"
"intuition!"
Lu Baifeng's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to Haikui, but also to himself.
Haikui heard this and chuckled.
"It is said that women's intuition is very accurate, but I have never heard that men's intuition is also very accurate."
"My gut feeling is that you are worried about me."
Her eyes always fell on Lu Baifeng's back, and the coldness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by tenderness like autumn water.
However, at this time, Lu Baifeng had no idea about the tenderness in her heart. She just looked at the lonely mountain forest, and a figure flashed in her mind.
A figure that he couldn't see through or figure out.
"Maybe you overlooked someone."
"who!"
"Prince Rui Qin Wei."
"Him!" Hai Kui's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Isn't he in Shuzhou?"
Lu Baifeng took a deep breath and said, "He may not be in Shuzhou."
He didn't know where Qin Wei was, or whether Qin Wei had come to Kyoto, but he felt that Qin Wei would definitely interfere in Kyoto's affairs.
"This is just my guess."
The doubts in Haikui's eyes soon dissipated. She didn't think Qin Wei would ruin their plan.
In her eyes, although Qin Wei's strength in Dali is not weak, it is just not weak and has not yet reached the point where it can influence the situation in Kyoto.
"Qin Wei cannot stop us."
Lu Baifeng didn't argue because it was just his guess. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that his guess was a bit unreliable.
Sitting in front of the piano again, he stretched out his hand to play the piano, and his melodious figure echoed in the rich night.
This time, he was playing the piano and Hai Anemone was watching.
…
Bei'an City.
In a restaurant.
Yu Qingzhou stood in front of the window, looking at the silent street.
Lu Zhi was still sitting at the dinner table, drinking wine casually.
"What time is it!"
"Zi Shi!"
"It's almost time for something to happen!"
Yu Qingzhou smiled softly, his fingertips touched the jade pendant on his waist, and a soft mist rose from the jade pendant.
Just when he finished speaking, there were many figures faintly flashing in the streets and alleys in the silent Bei'an City.
Then, a torch lit up at the end of the street.
As if receiving some kind of order, the next moment, dozens or hundreds of torches lit up throughout Bei'an City.
Like stars all over the sky, they spread out in the silent Bei'an City.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
For a time, fire broke out everywhere in the city.
In the east of the city, a raging fire broke out in an oil mill.
In the west of the city, a bookstore was set on fire.
North of the city...
West of the city...
The fire spread, and in the blink of an eye, the dim and silent Bei'an City was filled with flames and noisy sounds.
"It's gone!"
"It's gone!"
A large number of people were awakened by the fire and shouted.
The patrolling soldiers also rushed towards the direction of the fire.
The noise spread, as if the entire Bei'an City had been awakened.
This is true not only for Bei'an City, but also for Tonghe, Nanping, Jiushan, and the four fortified cities.
…
Kyoto, inside the Incense Pavilion.
Qin Wei, Zhuge Zhengwo, and Ji Yuanchen were sitting on the top floor.
The food and wine had been removed, and Qin Wei was bored, so he asked Xiao Shunzi to find a chessboard and start playing chess with Ji Yuanchen.
"What are you waiting for, Your Highness?"
Ji Yuanchen couldn't help but ask.
He came here by invitation, originally thinking that Qin Wei wanted to win over him, but until now Qin Wei had not said anything to win over him.
After the meal was finished and the wine was finished, Qin Wei still wanted to drag him to play chess.
Qin Wei only said that he wanted him to accompany him to watch a big show, but it was already late and the show hadn't started yet.
Qin Wei held the chess piece and said calmly: "Wait until the big show begins!"
"What kind of drama is this?" Ji Yuanchen asked.
He is not an impatient person, but he is older and is used to going to bed early and getting up early. Now that it is late, sleepiness has already rushed to his eyelids.
Qin Wei raised his head and glanced at him, smiled, and said: "The chief assistant will know soon!"
It's not surprising that Ji Yuanchen didn't know about the four major city guards. After all, Ji Yuanchen was a civil servant, and the four major city guards were the territory of the Dudu Mansion, so it was difficult for him to get involved.
And even if he intervened, it would be useless.
It was natural for Emperor Li to hide it from him.
At this moment, Qin Wei's peripheral vision suddenly noticed a few figures flashing across the shadowy eaves roof under the night outside the window.
"The show seems to have begun!"
As Qin Wei said, the show has already begun.
In the quiet Kyoto, under the blurry night, figures appeared from nowhere, flying over the walls and running around in the huge Kyoto. It looked so lively.
A warrior in powerful attire hurriedly walked up to the pavilion and whispered a few words into Xiao Shunzi's ear.
After Xiao Shunzi heard this, he quickly came to Qin Wei and reported: "Your Highness, there are raging fires in the four major city guards, and the flames are soaring into the sky."
When Qin Wei heard this, he nodded calmly.
Ji Yuanchen's expression changed, and he quickly stood up and looked out the window.
I saw a faint red fire under the dark night in the south, but it was too far away to see clearly.
"What's going on?"
he asked a little anxiously.
Qin Wei shook his head and said: "Someone wants to cause trouble in the four major cities."
"this!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I'll take my leave first!"
Ji Yuanchen couldn't sit still.
Although the four major fortresses are not under his control, he is the chief minister of the cabinet. If there is a problem with the four major fortresses, he naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
"Don't be anxious, Chief Assistant. Your Majesty has already foreseen the matter of the four major city guards, so there is no need for Chief Assistant to worry about it!" Qin Wei stopped him and said with a smile.
Ji Yuanchen stopped leaving and looked at him suspiciously.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are just spectators tonight!"
Ji Yuanchen's eyes were deep, his brows were furrowed, and there was a heavy look on his old face.
He thought for a moment, finally nodded and sat next to the chessboard.
"It seems that His Highness knows many things that I don't know."
Qin Wei shook his head and said: "It's just because the chief minister is busy with state affairs and has no time to pay attention to these things."
"Can you tell me now what happened?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Chief Assistant, we will know what happened soon!"
As soon as Qin Wei finished speaking, another warrior in powerful clothing walked up to the pavilion and whispered a few words next to Xiao Shunzi.
"Your Highness, many people in Bei'an City suddenly went crazy while fighting the fire and attacked other people."
Xiao Shunzi reports.
…
Inside Beian City.
Under the firelight, there was chaos.
Countless people fighting the fire showed ferocious expressions under the light of the fire.
They bared their teeth and claws and pounced on the people nearby. Without weapons, they grabbed with their hands and bit with their teeth. They were like wild beasts that had lost their minds, attacking all the creatures around them crazily.
For a time, the entire Bei'an City fell into chaos.
Wails, screams, and exclamations were heard continuously.
In the inn.
When Yu Qingzhou saw this scene, his eyes were filled with a raging smile.
"This is your plan!"
Lu Zhi looked at the crazy people and narrowed his eyes.
"No, this is just part of the plan." Yu Qingzhou said.
Lu Zhi glanced at him indifferently and said, "This kind of behavior that is harmful to nature is not the behavior of a benevolent person."
"The benevolent!"
Yu Qingzhou looked at him strangely.
Lu Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at it calmly.
He and Yu Qingzhou are not the same person.
He is a member of the royal family of the Lu Sheng Royal Court. Although the Lu Sheng Royal Court also covets Dali's territory and population, they have always used fair and just means of war.
They disdain such means of directly harming the people.
Yu Qingzhou sneered, "They are just a bunch of pigs and dogs. Isn't it ridiculous to argue with them about benevolence and righteousness?"
This is the difference between the power of the dynasty and the sect. Both the dynasty and the imperial court will focus on the common people. Maybe it is only on the surface, but at least they will not harm the common people openly.
The sect forces do not care about the life and death of the people. In their eyes, the people are like pigs and dogs, slaves who provide them with resources and labor.
In other words, it should be said that the method of exploiting the people by the dynasty and the royal court is more advanced, while the sect forces are openly depriving the people of their interests and lives without any concealment.
Lu Zhi shook his head slightly, not bothering to argue with Yu Qingzhou.
The chaos below continued and expanded, but within a quarter of an hour, the madness spread to every corner of Bei'an City.
…
In the mountains and forests, in the pavilion.
Lu Baifeng looked at Jiushan City at the foot of the mountain.
In the dim night and the soaring firelight, the two are intertwined, as if they are two armies facing each other, fighting endlessly.
In the noisy Jiushan City, it seemed like a group of demons were dancing wildly, and there seemed to be countless evil spirits wreaking havoc.
"This is your plan!"
"That's right!"
"You are actually using plague poison here!" Lu Baifeng looked at the sea anemone next to him in horror.
Haikui nodded silently.
Lu Baifeng's eyes widened, looking in disbelief.
"This plague came from your hands?"
Anemone continued to nod.
Lu Baifeng's face suddenly turned pale.
He is proud, he is arrogant, and he is arrogant.
He considered himself to be a cruel person. For example, in the Nanyang City incident, he was shocked and awed by Emperor Li's strategy.
However, he found it difficult to accept Hai Anemone's method of using plague to achieve his own goals.
"You have changed!"
"I haven't changed!" Haikui looked at him.
Lu Baifeng closed his eyes slightly, "In the past, you didn't even dare to kill a rabbit."
"I still don't know how to kill rabbits now." Hai Anemone said.
She was right, why would she kill a poor rabbit now?
If she wanted to eat a rabbit, many people would kill it for her.
Looking at Lu Baifeng with his eyes closed, Haikui suddenly felt panicked in his heart.
A drop of clear tears flowed from the corner of Lu Baifeng's eyes, across his cheeks, and dripped from his chin.
"Are you pitying them?" Hai Anemone asked in an incredible tone.
Lu Baifeng opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with coldness.
"No!"
"But you cried!"
Lu Baifeng shook his head and looked at her, but there was no emotion in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead object.
Naturally, he didn't pity those people, he just pity the cute little girl.
"I finally understand why my father has been unwilling to cooperate with you!"
"You don't deserve it!"
Lu Baifeng said in a cold tone.
"Gilbert, see you off!"
"you!"
Haikui was stunned for a while, and was also filled with anger.
"You want to drive me away!"
Lu Baifeng looked at Jiushan City below with a cold expression.
He is not a kind person, he does not care about the life or death of those people.
But he likes people with good intentions, and he hopes he can meet a kind girl.
