"You keep your word!"
Cheng Wan'er's voice sounded from the carriage.
"Do you really think that thief dares to come to Tokyo?"
Cheng Wanli looked at the carriage and smiled.
"I won't marry you if you don't want to!"
Cheng Wan'er continued.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Cheng Wanli readily agreed that there was no way he could lose. Sun Lei had just attacked Gaotang Prefecture and occupied Cang Prefecture, causing turmoil in Shandong and Hedong. The court was furious. Now Sun Lei still dared to step out of the water.
Cheng Wan'er was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly took off a pearl earring and threw it towards Sun Lei who was watching the sideshow.
Zhuque Street was very spacious and bustling with people. Cheng Wanli was on the left side of the carriage, and Sun Lei was among the crowd on the right. Cheng Wanli didn't notice Sun Lei at all.
"what?"
Sun Lei looked at the pearl earrings on the mutton kang bun in his hand. They were beautiful in style. The pearls were round, full and shiny. He knew they were valuable at a glance.
Sun Lei looked around with the pearl earrings, and happened to see Cheng Waner looking over from the carriage. At this moment, Cheng Waner looked over with a look of resentment and a pout.
"What's the meaning?"
Sun Lei showed off the pearl earring in his hand. There was another one hanging on Cheng Wan'er's right ear. Obviously, this earring could not have fallen off.
Cheng Wan'er didn't speak, but looked at Sun Lei sadly. The carriage left quickly, leaving only Sun Lei with a puzzled look on his face.
"Brother, isn't that person Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture?"
Lu Fang said as he looked at Cheng Wanli who was riding a horse and following the carriage away.
"I heard that Cheng Wanli resigned as the governor of Dongping Prefecture. It looks like he was transferred back to Tokyo!"
Guo Sheng also spoke.
"Brother, that woman seems to be interested in him!"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng looked at Sun Lei with smiles on their faces.
"Then what does this mean?"
Sun Lei looked at the pearl earring in his hand. Cheng Waner admired him, so there was no need to throw away an earring, right?
"It would be nice to have a note."
Sun Lei was a little speechless. This woman's heart was at a loss for words, and she was afraid that there would be no results if she kept silent.
"Brother, little brother knows!"
Guo Sheng smiled and disappeared into the crowd.
"I know about eggplant, but I don't know about it yet, brother!"
Sun Lei was speechless for a while, he hadn't thought about anything yet, what could this guy know.
"elder brother!"
The voices of Li Zhu and Qiao Daoqing sounded.
At this time, Li Zhu was holding a cloth banner, as if he were a fortune teller, while Qiao Daoqing was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk, and he was a Taoist with an immortal style.
This costume may be conspicuous in ordinary places, but Tokyo is an exception. The emperor likes Taoism. Now that the New Year is approaching, there are countless large and small sacrificial ceremonies in Tokyo, and Taoist priests are indispensable everywhere.
"Sit over there and eat and talk!"
When Sun Lei saw Li Zhu and Qiao Daoqing coming, he pointed to a stall selling almond tea next to him and said.
"Brother, I have found out that Fang La is at Kaibao Temple in the North Outer City, and the monks in that temple have embraced Mingjiao."
Qiao Daoqing said.
"Oh, is the Mingjiao so powerful? Can the temples in Tokyo also be incorporated?"
Sun Lei was a little surprised that Mingjiao was able to annex Buddhism. Although Buddhism is now suppressed by Taoism and the emperor does not support Buddhism, its own heritage is there and cannot be shaken by a small Mingjiao.
This can be seen from the scale of Daxiangguo Temple. In Bianliang, Tokyo, where land is scarce, Daxiangguo Temple can guard such a large group of temples in the inner city and is very popular, which shows its heritage.
"Brother, this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time, and it is no less brutal than the battlefield. Now that the emperor believes in Taoism, Buddhism is naturally unwilling to accept it. Some people have wrong ideas and want to use other forces to achieve their goals."
Qiao Daoqing said that he was not interested in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
The Taoist sect has always been at a disadvantage in the struggle. The reason is that the Taoist sect is relatively loose. There are too many idle clouds and wild cranes. It is natural to talk about Taoism. It likes to live its own life and understand the world and is not good at fighting.
Unlike Buddhism, the teachings are unified and the precepts are strict. Although there are internal factional struggles, overall they are still a family. They have fought countless battles with Hinduism since the mission in India, and they have rich fighting experience.
"In other words, the monks of Kaibao Temple are planning to use Mingjiao to change the dynasty? Or to change the emperor? These bald men are very courageous!"
Sun Lei smiled. It is not without reason that Buddhism has been destroyed several times. These foreign religions do not understand the survival principles of this land at all. Regardless of gods and Buddhas, they must submit to the imperial power. This is completely opposite to the Western religious world. Here The imperial power is sacred and inviolable, and any force that attempts to subvert the imperial power will be destroyed.
"But Fang La really spent a lot of money this time. He even used a trump card like Kaibao Temple. No wonder he dared to agree to come to Tokyo to hold a hero conference."
Sun Lei shook his head and said.
"Brother, I discovered Tian Hu's location. Tian Hu and others are now near the City God's Temple in the northeast of the outer city. They rented a yard and spent the whole day eating, drinking and having fun near the City God's Temple."
Li Zhu opened his mouth and said, the City God's Temple is also a lively place. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many people going to offer incense. There are snack streets set up on the streets outside the temple.
"This guy Tian Hu is still so greedy!"
Sun Lei smiled, Tian Hu seemed to come from a hard place and never forgot to eat wherever he went.
"So Wang Qing is the only one who has no trace!"
Sun Lei nodded and said, the three major Kori Fangla and Tian Hu have been found, only Wang Qing is left.
"Brother, this Wang Qing is a native of Kaifeng Prefecture and is very familiar with Tokyo. It is not easy to find him."
Qiao Daoqing said, Wang Qing is different from others. Several generations of his family are from Tokyo, and he is also a member of the Kaifeng Prefecture. It is too easy for this local snake to hide without being discovered.
"Forget it if you can't find them. It's enough to have traces of Fang La and Tian Hu. Wang Qing just needs to keep an eye on Tong Guan."
Sun Lei looked at Qiao Daoqing and Li Zhu and said.
"How is brother going to deal with them?"
Li Assistant asked.
"You don't have to deal with them, just wait for them to show up. Since it's a courage contest, it's natural to do something exciting, such as that imperial city!"
Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the Imperial City at the end of Zhuque Street.
"Brother is going to enter the imperial city!"
Li Zhu and Qiao Daoqing's expressions changed. This was really bold. It was not easy to enter the imperial city.
"How else can you show your courage!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, since you are here, let's do something exciting to speed up this decaying world, speed up its destruction, and speed up its reconstruction.
"Brother, this is too risky. The Imperial City is no better than ordinary places. It is heavily guarded. Once discovered, the entire Tokyo will be sealed off."
Qiao Daoqing advised that there were many troops stationed in Tokyo. Once an assassin was discovered in the imperial city, all the troops would be mobilized, and not a single fly would be able to fly out of Tokyo.
"Don't worry, we must leave a way out first and leave as soon as the trouble is over."
Sun Lei said with a smile, risking is definitely a risk, but as long as everything is arranged, it is not impossible to give it a try.
