high official

Chapter 716
Time went back to yesterday morning, the capital.

The mist had just lifted and the sky was getting brighter.In the barracks of Jinyiwei, all the officers and soldiers are fully armed and stand by.Waiting for the order from Jinyiwei Yamen.

At this time, the Jinyiwei yamen was naturally more heavily guarded, and the courtyards on each floor were full of soldiers. The officers and soldiers no longer held swords in their daily hands, but muskets, bows and crossbows, these weapons that were strictly controlled on weekdays.Even the ballista was moved out...

In front of the main hall of Jinyiwei's yamen under this layer of protection, hundreds of middle and high-level generals of Jinyiwei gathered. Xu Yingxian, Ji Song and others.Except for Ji Gang in Fangshan, all the senior officials of Jinyiwei are here.

By now, everyone knows that the time for the showdown is coming, either they will succeed in success or their family will be ruined, it depends on the outcome of the current match.As Ji Gang's subordinates, they have no choice whether to be involved in this life-and-death struggle. They can only survive by fighting for victory. Apart from this, they have no other way...

In the end, all eyes were on Zhuang Jing. Before Ji Gang left the capital, he had been fully authorized by him, so he was the head of Jin Yiwei at this moment. As long as he gave an order, Jin Yiwei, a scourge, would rush out of the cage and wreak havoc The entire capital, tearing the enemy to pieces!
Zhuang Jing's expression was very calm, but his eyes were burning faintly!He looked at the sky, then at the door, and seemed to hear something.

At that moment, although there were tens of thousands of people in Jinyiwei's yamen, they all watched with bated breath, watching the officer pass through the heavy gates and run towards the main yamen.The hurried footsteps were so clear and loud, as if they were echoing in the entire yamen.

The next moment, the man entered the main courtyard, knelt in front of the platform, and reported loudly: "The prince's car has already left the city!"

"Okay!" Zhuang Jing responded, and the next moment, he waved heavily: "Let's go!"

"Yes!" The voices of the generals, who had held back for so long, were really angry.

The generals saluted and left, and the next moment, they set off with their respective troops.

.

The sun has risen, and the streets of the capital are once again bustling, full of ordinary people looking for a living.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Horseshoes trampled the tranquility of the capital, countless Jinyiwei troops marched past, and the people fled in haste.The team saw its head and tail, and the murderous aura of tens of thousands of people scared the common people into silence. They hurriedly hid in their homes, closed their doors, burned incense and worshiped Buddha, and prayed for this storm that had been brewing for a long time and finally hit. curse yourself...

Outside the Qingshou Temple, there was already a sea of ​​soldiers. The frightening shouts, over the courtyard walls of the temple, even overwhelmed the Sanskrit chanting in the Daxiong Hall.

The extremely disturbing movement outside made the monks who were chanting sutras in the treasure hall unable to maintain the state of mind of the ancient well. They couldn't help but stop chanting sutras and looked at Xinyan anxiously.

Monk Xinyan didn't seem to be affected at all. When he heard the chanting stopped, he frowned displeasedly, knocked on the bronze chime in his hand, and a crisp sound caught everyone's eyes. At the same time, he said in a low voice: "Zen Don't move!"

Hearing this sound, all the monks were shocked, as if they had been slapped in the face, they all showed shame, secretly thinking that their own practice is not enough, how can they achieve Buddhism when they are invaded by foreign demons so easily?So the monks settled down, regardless of the outside world, and focused on reciting their scriptures.

After all, Qingshou Temple was rebuilt from the Prince's Mansion. The courtyard was deep with layers of walls. When the noise reached the east courtyard where Wang Xianhe and Yexian lived, it was already very small.But first, he obviously knows what's going on outside better than the monks.

"Master, did they find you hiding here?" Yesian, this wolf cub is not too scared, but after getting along with Wang Xian during this period of time, he has unconsciously developed some emotional bonds. Worried about Wang Xian.

"En." Wang Xian nodded. During the time in Qingshou Temple, although he didn't recite a few words of Buddha, he was immersed in the sound of Sanskrit bells all day long, and spent most of his time in meditation. His temperament has changed unconsciously, sitting there as calm as water, people can't feel his fireworks at all.

"Then why don't you run away quickly?" Yexian said anxiously: "I've already checked, there is a dog hole in the backyard, you should crawl out from there quickly, you should be able to escape at this time."

"Hehe," Wang Xian said with a smile, "If you're scared, go drill."

"What am I afraid of?" Seeing that Wang Xian was ungrateful and taunting himself, he couldn't help but annoyed and said, "Take a good intention as a donkey's liver and lungs!" As he spoke, he said frantically, "I really don't know what you think, I know tomorrow morning There is danger, why do you still stay here? Are you really tired of working?"

"This is the old monk's test for me." Wang Xian shook his head, and said with a smile: "If I escape, it will be a failure of the test, and he can just stay out of it."

"You are gambling with your life!" Ye Xian said with wide eyes, "Although he is really a man, the old monk obviously doesn't care about your life!"

"Really?" Wang Xian smiled, closed his eyes again, and sat him down. "I have confidence in the old monk."

"If you really have confidence, go and see him quickly." Ye Xian said: "I can't wait to see you, what's the point?!"

"Now is the most critical time." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "If I want to take the initiative to find him, I have to speak first. Naturally, I am always passive. Only by letting him come to me can I take the initiative."

"..." Ye Xian was dumbfounded when he heard this, he felt that the pair of master and apprentice were really a pair of desperadoes, but he forgot that he was also a gangster.

Seeing that Wang Xian stopped talking, he stopped trying to persuade him. He could only stand at the door and look forward to see if a miracle would happen.

At this moment, Jin Yiwei had completely completed the siege, but no one dared to set foot in Qingshou Temple before receiving an order, even if its gate was open.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the prestige of Daoyan has long been deeply engraved in everyone's heart.Even if the tiger is old and sick, if no one takes the lead, no one will dare to set foot in his tiger's lair.

Standing at the gate is the Zhigu monk Xinci, who is rare today wearing a bright red cassock over the slate-gray monk's robe and a monk's hat on his head, with a dignified appearance.Facing thousands of troops alone, he didn't change his face, thinking about it, he felt that he was really awesome.At that moment, the memories that had been dusty for many years were churning in my heart again, as if I had returned to the battlefield of blood and fire.

What appeared in front of his eyes was not only the glorious years of gold and iron horses in the past, but also the old people who had experienced those years together.But when it comes to the past, there is only nostalgia for kindness, but only hostility for the old man in front of him!

"Senior Brother Xinmie!" When that figure appeared, his benevolent gaze focused on him, and he snorted coldly, "Perhaps I should call you Master Zhuang now."

"Mr. Compassionate Brother, don't come here without any harm." Zhuang Jing, who was still dressed in civilian clothes, gently shook his folding fan, looking so weak, but behind him were thousands of masters of tigers and wolves. These people obeyed him and obeyed his orders. For him, it also gave him the capital to look down on the temple in front of him, look down on the former junior in front of him, and look down on the owner of this temple. "As for what you call me, it doesn't matter, anyway, I am me!" He said with a contemptuous smile: "But you are not the original you."

"How do you know?" Xinci asked coldly.

"Back then, you were the hero who reprimanded Fang Qiu and took the head of a general among millions of troops!" Zhuang Jing looked at Xinci with sympathy and said, "But now? Look at what you have become! It's just A poor pug dog who is looking forward to pilgrims coming to your door all day long. What do you think you have degenerated into in the past ten years? Fame and fortune have no chance for you, and it is not your turn to become a Buddha immediately! I am really sad for you!"

"Hehe, being able to say such a thing just proves that you are the poor person." Compassionately smiled and said indifferently: "Because I let go, but you can't let go. You have been blinded by layers of evil obstacles, and even You can’t even understand my practice, that’s really pathetic!”

"Haha..." Zhuang Jing smiled twice and said, "It turns out that you are more pitiful than I imagined, and you still believe in the old monk's nonsense! You have been poisoned so deeply that there is no cure!" He seemed to raise his voice and said, "What is Buddhism? What is cause and effect? ​​How can there be reincarnation?! It's all bullshit! What do you call a person to live forever? Just tell you and me, people can only live once! Give up the glory and wealth of this life, To cultivate an afterlife is the most pathetic and ridiculous act in the world!"

"It's really Xia Chong who can't be with Yu Bing." Xinci smiled and said: "Since you decided to leave back then, why did you come back today?"

"Of course I'm here to collect debts!" ​​Zhuang Jing said bitterly: "Our brothers and sisters were all born and died in the Jingnan Battle, and made great contributions to the King of Yan! Afterwards, we will be rewarded for our meritorious deeds. They were all made earls! But what did Yao Guangxiao say, 'what merits can be said for being a monk who committed a great crime?' Not only did he not want to grant rewards himself, but he also directly pushed our rewards away!" Although it was many years later, he He still gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "That's what we fought with one knife and one gun and narrowly escaped death! What kind of power does he have? He was pushed away without even asking!"

"He is our master." Xinci said indifferently: "Being a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of his life, naturally he has this right."

"Master Shit!" Zhuang Jing roared: "Blocking people's money is like killing my parents, ruining my future, and I can't share the sky! The day I went out of the door, I swear to God, sooner or later, I will settle this with him Debt! And get it back together with the principal and interest!" Pointing the halberd, he said kindly: "In the time of a stick of incense, hand over Wang Xian, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old love!" In the last few words, he is They popped up one by one, each word embodies boundless hatred:
"Chicken! Dog! No! Stay!"
