Not to mention how reluctantly Sima Qing carried out the order after receiving it.
Chen Jingben, who simply said that he had received the mission early in the morning, planned to follow the original plan and lead Bao Zheng and his party outside Jiangzhou City today to be intercepted and killed by the dead soldiers, so as to create the illusion that the bandits killed them accidentally.
By doing this, they can clear the relationship between their superiors and yamen, and it won't matter even if they are reprimanded by their superiors.
Secondly, you can take the opportunity to ask the court for more funds to suppress bandits.
You can kill people without getting your hands dirty, kill two birds with one stone, isn't it beautiful?
This was their original plan. After all, there was no need for outsiders to intervene in Jiangzhou's internal affairs. But who knew that after just one night, the Master's mind changed.
It would be fine to arrest Bao Zheng without consulting him, the magistrate on the surface, but now he is asked to ask a third-grade official to respectfully invite a wild woman from nowhere to come back!
"It's a joke! Yesterday, when they came to the house, I asked Master Wang to send someone to check out the inn where they stayed. How can I not know if there is a woman hidden there?"
"I think it was Sima Qing who bewitched the mage! Yes, it must be him! He has been acting weird since yesterday!"
His wife helped him put on his clothes and comforted him:
"Okay, Master, just say a few words. If you are not happy about doing things for the Master, the Master will convey your merits to Jingxin Bodhisattva for you.
Moreover, the mage is a powerful person, and no matter what he says, there is no answer. This sudden change cannot be explained by what the old man has calculated! "
Chen Jing kept mumbling and complaining, but his movements were not slow. In a short time, he had packed everything, prepared his carriage and horses, and was ready to go.
Before leaving, he looked at the servants who were accompanying him, thought for a moment, turned to the steward next to him and ordered:
"Go, go, call me a few more nursing homes, those who can fight!"
It's interesting to say that although Sima Qing and his party were affiliated with the Jiangzhou government office, they were apparently the guards of the prefect Chen Jing. In fact, the only official guard was Master Xuanji.
Especially for Sima Qing, his brothers would take turns taking turns to be Chen Jing's bodyguard for the sake of their salary. Sima Qing, on the other hand, would always be by Master Xuanji's side and would rarely leave.
I have only been out twice recently. One time half a month ago, Chen Jing received news that the imperial court sent a secret envoy to Jiangzhou, so he asked Master Xuanji to let Sima Qing lead a team to protect the government office in case the imperial court sent an emissary in advance. People come to visit and explore.
To be precise, the person they were guarding against was Zhan Zhao!
"Nan Xia Zhan Zhao is a well-known master in the world. Although he later turned to the imperial court and was shamed by the people in the world, his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, he has the giant sword in his hand. If he suddenly kidnaps people, Even if I take action personally, the chance of winning is less than 50%."
At that time, Sima Qing said so.
After he found out that the second and third son led the team to attack Yu Mao that night but failed and escaped from death instead, he became even more convinced of Zhan Zhao's strength.
That's one, and the second is these days.
The failure to keep Zhan Zhao alive in Jiangzhou had always made them uneasy, and they didn't know how many things he had seen that day. Therefore, counting the time, they felt that Bao Zheng and the others were almost there, so Sima Qing was sent again. came out to protect Chen Jing.
And last night, after learning that Bao Zheng and his party were heading to the Jiangzhou government office with great fanfare, Master Xuanji and Sima Qing made a plan to catch a turtle in an urn.
The large number of believers coming for pilgrimage must not be hidden from Bao Zheng and his party.
Therefore, he recalled all the warriors and lurked in the Liuli Palace. He expected that the person who would come to spy on the ceremony must be Zhan Zhao, who was extremely talented in martial arts. Therefore, as long as he was eliminated, the plan to intercept and kill Bao Zheng the next day would be guaranteed to be foolproof. .
They knew that Jiangzhou was full of doubts and could not withstand careful investigation, so they wanted to cut through the mess quickly. It was not like they had never done this in the past with the imperial envoys, and they never failed.
The main thing is to be aboveboard and suspicious, and the main thing is to arouse the curiosity of outsiders.
Master Xuanji is not afraid of them coming to investigate at all. He is afraid that they will not follow the routine and investigate slowly by himself in private.
"When playing chess, you can feel at ease only if you hold the chess pieces in your own hands."
…
Originally, everything had been planned, but who knew that Sima Qing could detect Chu Qi's existence, which gave Master Xuanji a different idea.
He is a mage. How can a mage remain unmoved when faced with supernatural phenomena?
Therefore, after deciding that Chu Qi was on Bao Zheng's side, he changed his plan - to capture Bao Zheng alive first - and then his plan to catch the turtle in the jar remained unchanged.
The main purpose of doing this was to test the existence of Chu Qi.
If Zhan Zhao was the only one who came that night, he would be dead.
If Chu Qi also followed that night, what kind of supernatural being could be killed by mortals?
but!
If there is a magic way for her to come without dying, then we must try our best to keep her here!
"Gentlemen, our chance to become an immortal is right in front of us!"
When making the plan, Master Xuanji was laughing so wildly, full of satisfaction.
Unfortunately, although their plan seemed perfect, something went wrong!
First, Sima Qing was away, and the warriors of Gui Sha Ling used forbidden drugs illegally, which led to numerous killings, and they acted crazy and without any rules.
Second, on the seventh day of Chu Qi's ghost appearance, he was able to force everyone back and allow them to escape. Master Xuanji ultimately failed.
But it doesn't matter, the greater Chu Qi's ability is, the more it means that her magical existence is real. They have been looking for it for so many years, and it doesn't matter if they wait a little longer.
"Jiangzhou is such a good place..."
In the secret room, Master Xuanji stretched out his hand, gently caressed the portrait in a painting, and sighed with obsession. Behind him, Sima Qing stared at the painting, his eyes also full of enthusiasm.
And that painting turned out to be the missing clothing part of Nei Chuqi - [Hand-held picture of dressing up under the moon].
