"Zhenxuan Si?" As soon as he came out of Song Tuizhi's small building, Chen Luo saw an anxious-looking Ye Dafu waiting in the yard. When Ye Dafu explained the matter, Chen Luo was also surprised, "This matter Why is Zhenxuan Si involved?"
"Are you okay?" Chen Luo asked again. He knew that if the yamen of the Daxuan Dynasty were to be feared the most, Zhenxuan Si would be ranked second. No yamen dared to be ranked first, not even the Zongren Mansion.
After all, the Zongren Mansion is at best a confinement, which is regarded as an internal punishment within the family. Zhenxuan Secretary can take action on behalf of the court, which is the crime of deposedness and beheading.
In the forty years since His Majesty Daxuan has been on the throne, there have already been three vassal kings who have been dethroned by Zhenxuan Si.
"It's okay. My King King's lineage is different from other feudal princes. Others are afraid of them, but we don't care."
"If you want to move us, first ask me, Jingzhou Death Soldier, if I will agree!"
Ye Dafu raised his chest and raised his head, blew a wave first, and then added: "I lied and deceived them. I didn't expose you, brother..."
Chen Luo felt moved and was about to say something touching when Ye Dafu spoke again: "Brother, my men are awake. Something happened in Iron Rock City."
"What happened?"
"Iron Rock City became an empty city."
"There are 34,000 households in the city, with a total of 136,877 people. They mysteriously disappeared overnight."
"Chickens and ducks are in cages, cats and dogs are in houses."
"The water is hot and the fire is strong, and the food is still fragrant."
"But no one is missing."
Chen Luo was shocked. Hundreds of thousands of people disappeared mysteriously. Even in the world of immortals, this should not be easy to do.
"Did the barbarians take action?"
Ye Dafu shook his head: "If the barbarians had the ability to bypass Zhenbeiguan and use such methods in our Daxuan territory without anyone noticing, then our Daxuan would have been dead long ago. The Zhenxuan Division is currently investigating. It is said that King Xi personally takes action."
"King of the West?"
"Well, brother, you don't know? There are five titles in the Zhenxuan Division. The highest is the King of Zhen, followed by King Xuan of East Town, King Xuan of West Town, King Xuan of South Town, and King Xuan of North Town. They are known as the Four Kings of Southeast, Southeast and Northwest. .”
"This King Xi, brother, you must have heard her name."
"Huh? Who?"
"Ji An, Li Qingzhao!"
Chen Luo was shocked, this... another world version of Li Qingzhao?
However, Liu Jingzhuang has already appeared, so it is normal for Li Qingzhao to appear as well.
It's just that everyone has become a prince, but you, Liu Jingzhuang, are still going to a brothel...
Sure enough, there are some bad habits that you can’t quit even if you change the world!
After retracting his chaotic thoughts, Chen Luo asked again: "Is there any result now?"
Ye Dafu shook his head: "Looking at the way that Zhenxuan Si came to see me, it doesn't look like he has discovered anything. But the biggest suspect of the person who did this is probably the Buddhist sect!"
"Buddhism?"
"Yes, they are different from Taoism. What they focus on is the establishment of a Buddhist kingdom of reincarnation. It seems to be a spiritual sect, but in fact it is also a kind of imperial court. Naturally, it needs the support of all the people. The population of the Western Region is sparse, and they are not as good as the outstanding people of Daxuan, and some are daring. Buddhists also occasionally robbed our Daxuan people."
"It's only a scale of hundreds of thousands of people. I'm afraid it would take a Bodhisattva-level figure to do it."
"In short, brother, please don't worry about this matter. The water is too deep for us to interfere." At the end of his words, Ye Dafu said with a solemn face and serious instructions.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Luo nodded. I also understand that what Ye Dafu said makes sense, but I still have a question in my heart.
"If it was really the Buddhists who committed the crime, why didn't they choose Hanzhou, which is closer to them, instead of traveling all the way to Suzhou's Tieyan City, which is close to the northern defense line and destined to attract a lot of attention, to commit the crime?"
But Ye Dafu was right, the water inside was too deep for someone of his level to continue investigating, so he had no choice but to keep his doubts in his heart and wait for the results...
…
Bolang Mountain.
Located between Yuezhou and Luozhou, it is the natural boundary between the two states. But precisely because of this geographical location, regardless of Yuezhou or Luozhou, a group of bandits gathered here to rob merchants from various places.
Ren Ji was a man of foresight, and he boarded a convoy traveling to a wealthy family in Luozhou. I heard that the owner of this family worked in Luozhou and was a county magistrate. This motorcade was escorting his mother and young daughter to a family reunion. For safety, the host not only signed up a dozen good government officials, but also had two pen Luojing scholars and a Cheng Shijing master as escorts. It can be said that Powerful and extremely safe.
It was evening at this time, and it was inconvenient to get on the road, so the team began to set up camp, planning to rest for one night before setting off tomorrow.
"Aji, do you want some water?" The county magistrate's daughter was very interested in this young man who asked to go with her, and asked him. He knew everything, as if everything from the north to the north was in his mind, especially because he played the xun very well. So great that even my grandmother, who never slept much, could fall asleep peacefully every night when she heard his Xun music.
"Thank you, Miss." Aji put down his work, took the kettle from Miss Qianjin, and drank a few sips. The little girl quickly came closer and said, "Tell me more about "The Swordsman" "Is the story good?"
Aji smiled gently: "Miss, I still have work to do."
"What do you want them to do! What you said about "Swordsman" is better than what Senior Brother Song said. I want to hear what you say." The county magistrate's daughter is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and her tone is coquettish. Say it softly and tenderly, making people feel soft in their hearts.
"Okay, I'll do this later, but as promised, I'll just tell you one chapter!"
"Okay!" The little girl nodded and sat next to Ren Ji.
Not far away, a Confucian scholar frowned when he saw the closeness between the county magistrate's daughter and Ren Ji: "Senior Brother Tang, do we want to tell the old lady that it is detrimental to our relationship to be so close to that country boy?" Clear reputation."
The Confucian scholar surnamed Tang glanced at her and said, "My junior sister is so charming, and Ren Ji is also a polite young man. In broad daylight, how could anything harm her good reputation?"
"But..." Confucian scholar surnamed Song looked a little ugly, "But junior sister is a woman after all. She and I... we have never been so close. This... this is not in line with etiquette!"
Senior Brother Tang shook his head: "My teacher has never taught us such corrupt Confucian etiquette. The way of the human heart is to start with emotions and end with etiquette, which is the best thing in the world. The sage also said that there are three hundred poems, which can be summed up in one sentence, thinking without thinking. Evil. I see that they are sitting in the same car, one talking and the other listening. They are just like children, and they are extremely cute. Why can't you see it, junior brother?"
"Could it be that, junior brother, you have recently taught yourself the 'Neo-Confucianism' of the Mozhou Fang family?"
The Confucian scholar surnamed Song was obviously a little angry and said: "Senior Brother Tang, forget it. As a senior brother, I can't ignore it. I'll go find the old lady and tell her."
Senior Brother Tang pointed forward and said, "Look."
The Confucian scholar surnamed Song looked in the direction of Brother Tang's finger, and unexpectedly the old lady and the master also looked in the direction of Ren Ji and the little girl, with smiles on their faces...
Just when Confucian scholar surnamed Song's face was burning, a sound suddenly broke through the air, and an arrow shot out, hitting the throat of a coachman escorting the carriage, killing him immediately. The yamen squad leader immediately pulled out his weapon from under the car and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
All of a sudden, all the government officials took out their weapons and formed a circle around the old lady. The little daughter went to find Ren Ji, but fell outside the protective circle. Ren Ji quickly turned sideways and protected the little daughter behind him.
"Tang Yu, Song Ran, protect the young lady!" The master in the poetry realm was filled with awe and righteousness. He protected the old lady and shouted at the same time.
"Master, you also go and protect Xiaowan. It's okay for the old lady!" The old lady spoke anxiously. At this moment, a voice fell: "Old lady, don't worry, none of you can protect me today!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a man wearing a scholar's robe walking out of the woods, followed by a group of people, including Confucian scholars and ordinary people, all of whom looked fierce.
"Confucian robe bandits?" Master frowned slightly. Among the most famous road bandits in Langshan this time, there was such a banner. It is said that several Confucian scholars who committed crimes escaped capture, hid in the mountains, and gathered together to become bandits.
"Your Excellency!" The master was shocked when he saw that the leader of the other party was full of righteousness and was indistinguishable from his own. He was also in the Poetry Realm, followed by three pen-falling scholars. He raised his hands and said, "We are just escorting My host is going to Luozhou for a reunion. You can take whatever property you have in the car for yourself, but don’t hurt anyone’s life!”
The leading Confucian scholar smiled: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk. Of course we are thieves and we are wise. After all, studying is not easy. Although we are bandits, we still want to make progress..."
Just as the master was breathing a sigh of relief, the bandit leader said, "But that's for others. For you, I don't think so. Master Luo, don't you recognize me?"
The master became alert and looked at the bandit leader again, with a flash of green light in his eyes: "Huang Wanli, it's you!"
Huang Wanli looked up to the sky and roared: "Hahahaha... Luo Rong, back then I had a bright future, but I just couldn't control myself after drinking and slept with a flower girl. I have agreed to marry that woman as my concubine, and she went to seek death on her own. What does it have to do with me? You and your master actually want to send me to the Wanren Mountain Dead Soldiers Camp, and I will take revenge today!"
After saying that, he looked at the little daughter again: "This must be your boss's daughter. I wonder if he could have thought that the student who begged him so hard back then would taste his daughter today?"
"Shameless!" Mr. Luo cursed loudly, his body full of righteousness.
At the same time, Huang Wanli also burst out with an awe-inspiring righteousness that was on par with Master Luo, and fought with Master Luo's righteousness.
"Kill them. I won't get a penny from today's property, only that little girl. When I'm done, it will be yours!" Huang Wanli restrained Master Luo and yelled. Suddenly, the Confucian scholars behind him and the fierce group of people saw in front of them. Liang, rushed towards the little daughter.
Tang Yu and Song Ran wanted to come to rescue them, but they were tightly entangled by two Confucian scholars.
The little daughter was so frightened that her face turned pale. Ren Ji took a long sword from the car, but he had never learned it before. He held the sword in both hands and stood in front of the little daughter.
The government servants and coachmen also rushed forward and fought with the fierce men. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The little daughter stood behind Ren Ji, holding Ren Ji's corner, trembling.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ren Ji said softly.
…
In the middle of the fight, a gust of wind blew through the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of Ren Ji.
It was the third Confucian scholar.
The Confucian scholar passed over Ren Ji, who was holding the sword, as if he were passing over an ant, and looked at the little daughter behind him.
"Sure enough, Shuiling is different from the gang of village women down the mountain. If I catch you, the boss will take the first bite, and I will take the second!" He said, walking towards the little daughter with a lewd smile.
Ren Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, mustered up his courage, and shouted: "Ah!" He rushed forward, but used his sword as a knife, slashing from top to bottom. The Confucian scholar turned sideways slightly, dodged the attack, and casually struck out. kick, kicking Ren Ji away.
But before he took two steps forward, Ren Ji rushed forward again and hugged the Confucian scholar's leg. The Confucian scholar frowned slightly, raised his other leg and stepped on it towards Ren Ji.
But just when the foot was about to hit Ren Ji's back, a smile appeared on the corner of Ren Ji's mouth, and a suction force came from his body and swept away towards the evil scholar.
He started practicing the "Meridians Theory" two days ago. He was slow in practicing the ordinary meridians, but he made rapid progress in the meridians related to the "Star Absorbing Technique". Just this morning, he had just finished clearing the "Star Absorbing Technique". "The last relevant meridian.
However, the Star Absorbing Technique requires physical contact, so the previous panic and nervousness were all faked by Ren Ji to paralyze the Confucian scholar.
The evil Confucian scholar felt a huge suction force, and the already thin righteousness in his body rushed out as if a valve had been opened. Before he could even shout, he felt dizzy, unsteady on his feet, and lost consciousness for a moment.
At this moment, Ren Ji stood up quickly, swiped the long sword in his hand, and a stream of blood shot out, hitting Ren Ji in the face. The evil Confucian scholar covered his separated neck, looked at Ren Ji, with disbelief in his eyes, and slowly fell down.
At this time, Ren Ji felt that his meridians were swelling, but he couldn't care less. He glanced at the little daughter and said, "Hide it!" Then he picked up the sword and rushed in the direction of Tang Yu and Song Ran...
…
Zhongjing, Earl's Mansion.
Chen Luo was arranging the serialization of "Sentimental Swordsman" with Cheng Diefei when suddenly a message flashed through his mind, something seemed to have changed in the dreamland flower forest...
