Astral Apostle - Chapter 246
[Two hundred and thirty-six requests]
Outside the Taoist temple, several tall, short, fat and thin men stood at the door waiting.
Everyone’s face has the color of the wind and frost like a knife and axe. At a glance, you can see that it is the Tianwangzhai group who have been fighting outside all year round.
The leader was the owner of the village, Lu Longchuan, and the rest were the top leaders in the village, who were called to Beijing to receive the reward.
“We have never had any dealings with Master Yufeng, and I don’t know if he wants to see us or not.”
Xiang Tianjie whispered, his tone hesitant.
Lu Longchuan shook his head: “It’s hard to say, this person is a celebrity next to the emperor, he is very favored, and his status is not comparable to me, so he may not be interested in seeing me.”
Hearing this, a rude-looking bearded man was dissatisfied. He said loudly, “Brother’s words are too self-deprecating. He’s just a bull’s nose. If my brother wants to see him, I’ll rush in and catch him out!”
”
Two tigers must not be rude!”
After a pause, he said solemnly: “This Master Yufeng is famous all over the world. It is said that he has a great supernatural power, but he is an expert in the world. You have given me a temper, so don’t collide with him!”
“I have never seen any supernatural powers. However, most of them are fake, they are all one head, and if they are smashed with a hammer, they are still dead.” Erhu murmured, not happy.
This person is called Shi Hu, nicknamed Erhu. He is good at using double hammers. He is often responsible for charging into battle in the cottage. He is a rude and rude person.
“Erhu, don’t speak until later, so as not to offend others.” A scribe said, shaking the bamboo fan in his hand lightly, and said with a smile: “This Master Yufeng has a detached status in Beijing, even Prime Minister Qin will give him three If we can have a relationship with him, we will have a few good words from him in front of the saint, and the benefits will be endless in the future.”
“Since the strategist said that, then I will not speak for a while.” Shi Hu hummed. , it seems to be quite respectful of this scribe.
This scholar, named Sun Rong, was the third leader of Tianwangzhai and the chief military advisor of the cottage.
This time, everyone came to visit Master Yufeng, which he strongly facilitated.
Lu Longchuan lowered his voice and asked, “Master, it’s just
a matter of meeting and getting to know Master Yufeng. We have no relationship with him, so we must invite him out of the mountain?”
I have merit, although there is a reward, but the imperial court also asked me to wait until next spring to go to Huyang to fight bandits, and I must ask for the help of experts on this trip, otherwise the future will be dim!” After
speaking,
he paused and continued:
“Yanbei, Taidong Bandits are rampant, but fortunately, I was once the leader of the green forest in the northern region. All those who could be surrendered were surrendered, and those that should be destroyed were destroyed. The rest were scattered soldiers. The difference is that it is the most dangerous place in the world!
Chen Feng has unparalleled martial arts, and there are 100,000 horses in Longwangzhai under his command, and the Huyang water network is densely covered. The teacher is tyrannical and waits for work with ease. In this way, he uses his own shortcomings to attack the enemy’s strengths, and all the brothers will be ruined there… So if you can’t ask experts to come out to help, I’ll be more fortunate than for this trip.”
Everyone nodded.
In addition to getting to know people, another goal of this rash meeting is to ask this expert to help them eradicate bandits.
After all, the “Dragon King” Chen Feng’s force has shocked the past and the present. If they can’t find a way to overcome the enemy, they really feel that they have no chance of winning.
If this Master Yufeng really masters the immortal family’s method of calling for wind and rain, as rumored, he may be one of the few people in the world who can deal with Chen Feng.
“I hope he’s not someone who deceives the world… and is willing to see us.”
Xiang Tianjie sighed.
At this time, the Taoist Zhike came out and greeted everyone: “My master has an invitation, you all come with me.” The
Tianwangzhai group suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly entered the Taoist temple, followed the Taoist around a few yards, and soon arrived main house.
As soon as everyone entered, they saw Zhou Jing dressed as Taoist priests, and they all bowed.
“I’ve seen the real person Shenxiao Fengling.”
“No need to be too polite.”
Zhou Jing waved his hand, his eyes swept across the mountain of these people, and finally fell on Lu Longchuan, smiling slightly.
“I was in Beijing, and I heard for a long time that Lord Lu was recruited by the imperial court, and he found out that he had lost his way. I was fortunate to meet him today.”
Lu Longchuan was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect this person to be so polite. I
have always admired it, but I rush to visit today, I hope it’s not strange.” The
two exchanged a little business, and then Zhou Jing greeted everyone to take a seat, and asked the disciples to serve tea to everyone.
After chatting for a while, everyone got to know each other.
After discovering that the powerful Master Yufeng was not arrogant and domineering, but rather kind, Tianwangzhai and his party were sure that there were no more worries in their hearts.
Sun Rong gave Lu Longchuan a wink.
Lu Longchuan understood, moistened his throat, changed his words, and said sternly:
“To be honest, I am waiting for the door today because I want to ask a real person.”
“But it doesn’t matter.” Zhou Jing did not change his face.
Lu Longchuan said in a serious tone, “The official family ordered me to go to Huyang to suppress the bandits. The bandit leader Chen Feng is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he has a wide range of navy soldiers. I am afraid that we are not rivals and will ruin the imperial plan. After thinking about it, only the real person has the ability to bring down this person, so I came here to ask the real person to help me.”
After listening to Zhou Jing, his expression was not surprised, and he asked back with a smile: “Can the official family have an decree to let the poor Dao went out with the army?”
“It never…”
“Well, since this matter has nothing to do with me, why does the poor Dao want to help you?”
Zhou Jing’s tone was unhurried.
Lu Longchuan sighed: “I know this is abrupt, but that Chen Feng’s turmoil in Huyang has become a serious problem for the court’s confidants. If time passes, it will become gangrene, which will be useless in Jiangshan, society and Ji… I have heard that the real person was born to seek the protection of heaven. Taiping, this demon Chen Feng is harmful to the people and needs to be rescued, but I am not an opponent, so I have to ask for help, and then I come to the door on my own.”
Sun Rong got up, bowed and gave a big salute, interjected: “I hope the real person will see it. For the sake of the people of Limin, I will take action to subdue the demons.”
Zhou Jing smiled and his expression remained unchanged.
He flicked the dust off his hands, looked around at everyone, and suddenly asked, “I heard that Chen Feng defended the people’s grievances in Huyang, claiming to be doing justice for the heavens, and you were once a member of the Green Forest, and also acted similarly, what do you think? ”
Everyone’s faces stiffened, and they were a little dumb.
Sun Rong didn’t change his face, and said,
“Although doing this is a quick success, it breaks the rules of the world. It seems like a good and righteous act, but in fact it is not considered. The court has its own laws, if you repeatedly ignore them. , use the punishment by yourself, then the order of the court will be broken, the people’s livelihood will be more difficult, and the people’s livelihood will be more difficult and chaotic. It was only after I spent many years in the green forest that I understood this truth. Finally, I got lost and was called by the court to serve the country. The act of harming the country and the people should be stopped.”
“It makes sense.” Zhou Jing nodded with a smile: “Since you have such knowledge, Pindao would like to help you.”
Hearing this, Lu Longchuan and the others showed joy.
But at this time, Zhou Jing changed his words and said slowly:
“However, I am in charge of alchemy for the official family, and the official family may not be willing to let me leave the capital. Why don’t you formally submit the book and request that the poor road be dispatched to accompany the army to go on an expedition, through the upper court. When the ministers discussed it, if the officials agreed, I would go out to help.”
“This…”
Lu Longchuan looked embarrassed.
They are not qualified to go to court on weekdays, and this time they entered the capital to discuss meritorious deeds to be able to face the Holy Spirit. They had finished seeing them not long ago, so it is not easy to do it now if they want to hand over the book for the ministers to discuss.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing shook his head and said, “Although I have the heart to help, I have to nod from the officials, and the poor will wait for the good news from everyone.”
After speaking, he served tea to send off the guests.
Lu Longchuan and the others had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
The group went out of the Taoist temple and looked at each other as they watched the door closed.
Shi Hu snorted angrily:
“Hmph, this Niubi is nice to say, I don’t think I want to help, and I don’t want to be honest, so I use this excuse to prevaricate! He looks weird, maybe he will become the emperor’s favorite boy. How can the emperor let him do such drudgery?”
“Shut up, don’t talk nonsense! How can you be a fool here?!”
Lu Longchuan was startled. Outraged.
“Don’t say it, don’t say it.” Shi Hu turned his head away, still indignant.
Lu Longchuan’s chest was heaving with anger, and it took a while to calm down. He looked at Sun Rong and frowned:
“Master, look at this…”
Sun Rong shook the bamboo fan and said in a deep voice, “The real person has already agreed, and he only needs the approval of the officials. … Zhaizhu, it seems that we have to visit Prime Minister Qin.”
Lu Longchuan sighed slightly after hearing this.
Qin Song was one of the seven thieves of the current dynasty, and at the same time he had always been the gateway of their Tianwangzhai in Beijing.
If there is a choice, Lu Longchuan doesn’t want to be a traitor, but it’s done, they can only act on Qin Song’s breath.
On the other side, in the main house of the Taoist Temple.
Zhou Jing sent the group of Tianwangzhai away, sat back in place and drank tea slowly, his eyes became playful.
“Meeting with Chen Feng in the past…it’s not bad.”
He agreed to the request of the Tianwangzhai and his party, and he thought about it.
Now that Chen Feng’s reputation as No. 1 in the world has been firmly established, it is also the way to make Bill’s popularity in the past.
There was no chance to play in Beijing. This time, I can let the two apostles touch each other and make a big scene, which not only reflects Chen Fengguan’s contemporary martial power, but also shows the power of his own “skill”.
As long as the movement is big enough and astonishing enough, and it shows the power to “compete” with Chen Feng, 80% of the time will be offered by the court as a backer to restrain Chen Feng, which will be beneficial to both apostles.
In addition, he went on an expedition with Tianwangzhai, and he could also part-time traitor and send confidential information to Chen Feng.
After all, Tianwangzhai has a large number of soldiers, and it is not easy to deal with. The damage will not be low in head-to-head battles, but it will make the court laugh out loud.
The so-called soldier never tires of deceit, it is better to install a spy in the enemy’s army, so that Chen Feng can control the enemy’s movement and deal with it more easily.
Moreover, Lingfengzi’s identity was so white that no one would suspect that he was sending information, and he was a stable group.
As long as the Tianwangzhai army is defeated, even if Lingfengzi withdraws, it is not because of his lack of ability, but because the army is not strong enough, and it will not damage his image much.
“This wave is reliable… I can even bring some money and send it to Chen Feng on the way, so it’s considered a courier delivery.”
Zhou Jing smacked his lips, thinking to himself.
…
in the evening, at the Qin Xiangfu.
“That Lingfengzi really said that?”
Qin Song was a little surprised after hearing Lu Longchuan’s words.
“It’s absolutely true.” Lu Longchuan nodded.
“Is that so…”
Qin Song was thoughtful, and subconsciously pointed his finger on the table.
He suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity to kill someone with a knife.
Since Ling Fengzi entered Beijing, Shengjuan Zhilong made people jealous and envious, some people flattered, and some people secretly feared.
Although the real Yufeng did not intend to fight for power, some people still regarded him as a thorn in their side.
On the surface, everyone gives him face, but in fact, some people want to get rid of it quickly.
Qin Song is not one of them, so he can’t be called hostile, but the emperor’s favor on Lingfengzi does make him feel threatened.
In addition, Lingfengzi’s alchemy method is useful, and countless officials and gentry join in, making this person more and more connected, and his status is detached.
Qin Song also enjoyed the benefits of medicinal herbs, and exclaimed the magic.
——Because of this, powerful officials like him are even more afraid of Lingfengzi.
Although Lingfengzi is now only a minor official of the Sitian Supervisor, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com has no power… But Qin Song deeply understands that as long as he becomes a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, the official position is completely unimportant.
In this court, the greatest power comes from the emperor. Even if he is a prime minister, being dismissed is only a matter of the emperor’s words.
If you say you are white, you will be innocent, if you say you are black, then you will be full of evil.
Without Lingfengzi, there will be fewer competitors who are very predictable, which is not a bad thing in Qin Song’s view.
As for the emperor’s longing for immortality… it’s better to forget it as soon as possible, why do you want to live long in the dragon chair, when the time comes, you should die.
“I know the truth about this matter, you can go back and wait for the news.”
Qin Song came back to his senses, and his tone was neither salty nor light.
No matter if things work out or not, he doesn’t intend to fight the evil spirit Fengzi or the emperor… So let others take the lead, he has too many cards in his hand.
