A Lady’s Tranquility - Chapter 231
Ruyang mansion is adjacent to Fengyang mansion, which is very close to Anqing, Huizhou and other places occupied by Tianjiao. What’s more, many Southeast prefectures have fallen, and people are afraid of war. When they heard the news, they packed their bags and fled to the north. Those who stay in the city either feel that the rise and fall of the world doesn’t matter, or that Tianjiao is better than the imperial court, or they are just lonely women and children who can’t escape
So when they came into the city, there were few people in the city.
Carrying torches and lanterns through the road, the city is in a mess, and the streets are closed.
Wan Xiuzi naturally didn’t look at these things.
The branch of runing mansion was built in the old year after occupying a monk temple and driving away the monks in the temple. The Buddha statues were pushed to exchange Sanqing, the Buddhist scriptures were thrown to exchange daocang, and large stones were transported to build a high roof inside, which was specially used for meeting and publicizing rewards and punishments.
When all the talented people arrived at the branch helm, the helmsman Lu Tai and his followers met each other outside.
His face is black and his body is strong. He has a hawk nose and wide eyes. He is dressed as a warrior. His hands, wrists, legs and feet are tightly tied up. His fists are as big as sandbags, like the kind of strength that can kill an ox with one blow.
However, it is not a person with developed limbs and simple mind.
When he looked at people with those eyes, he took a little bit of natural evil. Especially when he saw Xie Wei in the rear and Jiang Xuening beside him, his eyes stopped. After seeing the ceremony with Wan Xiuzi, he asked: “I heard that Mr. dujun, who is as famous as Mr. Gongyi in our teaching, has also come here. His subordinates have been in the teaching for a long time, but they have never heard of him. I don’t know. Can you give me some advice? ”
Wan Xiu son then looked back one eye, with a finger way: “this is.”
Lu Tai followed what he pointed out and looked at Xie Wei again.
At this moment, his eyes clearly flashed a point of killing intention, and his action was so fast that even the Taoist boy beside Wan Xiuzi didn’t react. He pulled out the knife hanging from the waist of the disciples, and the cold blade directly pressed on Xie Wei’s neck!
Jiang Xuening stood behind Xie Wei and nearly cried out.
Everyone was startled: “what is the Lu helmsman doing?”
Wan Xiuzi was silent.
Xie Wei thought that the other party would attack him, but he didn’t expect that the other party wouldn’t even spend a word. He felt a little awe in his heart: it seems that Wan Xiuzi can’t wait more than he thought, but he didn’t know when Yan Lin would arrive.
There is no doubt that Lu Tai is the former commander of the branch mentioned by Xie Wei and Jiang Xuening when they explained today’s plan.
It is said that Gong Yicheng had saved his life in his early years because of his loyalty.
Xie Wei gently stretched out his hand and first turned Jiang Xuening away from him. He motioned her to stay away. Then he calmly said, “it seems that the leader of Lu has something to teach.”
Lu Tai didn’t care so much. As early as that year, he suspected that there was a ghost in the battle of Tongzhou. This time, he had to be informed by the head of the sect secretly that Xie Wei would not be allowed to go out of runing’s house unharmed. He sneered: “three years ago, tens of thousands of followers and Mr. Gongyi died in vain. Don’t you know?”
There was a sudden silence.
When several branch masters were in Luoyang, they heard Xie Wei admit it. But the head teacher didn’t mention it at that time, and no one spread it out. How can Lu Tai be so sure? The rest of the congregation, who are of lesser status, have never heard of it. Therefore, everyone’s expression, no matter what the reason is, whether it is true or not, is shocked to the extreme.
When Xie Wei said that he killed Gong Yicheng that day, he thought that there would be today –
Wan Xiuzi would not miss this opportunity.
He wants to do it before himself, but he is afraid that he will not turn against him. Once he does it first and tries to make mistakes, he is afraid that he will be forced to turn against Tianjiao. At that time, if you let yourself run, it would be a strong enemy for Tianjiao. Even if you didn’t run, it would be useless to stay, and you would lose a lot of help if you didn’t kill.
Therefore, we need a suitable position to advance and retreat.
Who is more suitable than Lutai?
The old part of Gong Yi Cheng was loyal to the heavenly religion. As long as he told the truth about Gong Yi Cheng’s death, Lu Tai would attack him. In this way, Wan Xiuzi, as the head of the church, seemed to be in charge of justice. If he is rebellious, he will immediately do the right thing in front of the congregation. If he is not rebellious, and there is no abnormality in the future, he can generously open one side of the net and show kindness to him in exchange for his loyalty.
It’s really a wonderful move to give up.
It’s a pity that Wan Xiuzi may not have thought about it. He took the initiative to mention the killing of Gong Yicheng.
In order to give him such a suitable position.
With this position, he would act as he thought, instead of directly killing people with a single thought. In this way, despite some hardships, he could gain enough time to wait for Yanlin’s army from Huangzhou!
Xie Wei looked at Lu Tai and said, “Mr. Gongyi and I have known each other for a long time. At that time, we were lurking in the imperial court, and we failed to help him in time, so that he was killed. I feel very guilty. It’s right that the Lu helmsman has the heart to blame me. “”Fuck you!”
What Lutai hates most is talking with such literati. Black can be said to be white!
His hands were shaking with the knife.
“Well, why is Mr. Gongyi’s whereabouts leaked? Can Xiao’s group of wine bags have such a good plan? Not to mention, now you side this good woman, that year in Tongzhou! It even has something to do with the death of my brothers! ”
When Jiang Xuening listened to the three words “Gong Yi Cheng”, she didn’t remember it. But when she heard the word “Tong Zhou”, the bloody picture of that year immediately flowed back to her mind, which made her fight a cold war!
She did not expect that this person even knows!
Xie Wei’s eyes were suddenly constricted, cold to the extreme, his straight back was slightly tight, but he looked at Lu Tai: “Lu Tai, it’s OK for you to have prejudice against me because of the death of Yi Cheng. It’s just a slap in the face. Now that you want to understand, why don’t you go to the rooftop today and see if Xie gives you an explanation! ”
Lu Tai immediately sneered: “good!”
He was also Frank. He immediately took back the knife that had been put on Xie Wei’s neck. He even bent over and knelt down to Wan Xiuzi on one knee, and bowed down to ask: “the first teacher is a clear lesson. It’s not Mr. Qian Jun that I want to be. It’s a matter of gratitude and resentment that has a bearing on tens of thousands of lives. How can the brothers of our heavenly sect die in vain? Even if I gamble on this life today, my subordinates will ask him to understand! I would like to ask you to do justice for Mr. Gongyi and the brothers who died in the battle of Tongzhou! ”
There’s a lot of people around.
And this is what Wan Xiuzi wanted to see, so he would not refuse.
But he still made a slightly embarrassed look, looked at Xie Wei and said: “you two are rare talents in the teaching, I really don’t want to see you have a quarrel. In the middle of this, it’s not necessarily that there are many misunderstandings. It’s just that since you two have proposed to go to the rooftop for a debate, you can have a debate, so that we can all come to understand and judge right and wrong! ”
The so-called “going to heaven” of Tianjiao means “all living beings are equal, worthy of heaven and earth”. All kinds of right and wrong are decided by the people under the stage, and everyone has the right to decide regardless of their status.
Unfortunately, in recent years, it has been in vain.
At first hearing that they were going to go to the rooftop, everyone talked and whispered.
Wan Xiuzi, as the capital of religion, has already spoken, and this is a certainty.
Xie Wei originally planned to do so, but he had no objection.
How can we wipe out all the sects without gathering them under the roof? The more chaotic the situation is, the better Jiang Xuening can escape. If, as usual, they lock into the house when they arrive at the branch, there is really no chance of escape.
When they got into the branch, they gathered around the stone platform two feet above the ground.
There are steps in front of the stone platform.
In fact, it is divided into two levels: one is at a height of one and a half feet, with a wide platform; the other is still higher, with a chair set up, which is a special position for the superior.
Wan Xiuzi went up first and sat in the middle.
Xie Wei and Lu Tai followed suit.
However, Lu Tai bowed to Wan Xiuzi and pointed back to Jiang Xuening, saying, “today, we are going to discuss the Tongzhou issue. This woman informs the government and cooperates with Du Jun both inside and outside. Let’s see what it means to be in a mess!”
Someone immediately pushed Jiang Xuening.
She nearly fell on the steps.
Xie weichui’s fingers in his sleeve clenched quietly. For a moment, he had already killed his heart. However, before the time came, there was no attack. He just turned around and stepped forward to lift her up. He asked faintly, “are you afraid?”
Afraid?
Jiang Xuening is naturally afraid.
But when he helped himself up, her fingertips touched his warm palms and felt the power he had passed on. It seemed that she was not so afraid. If there is only one person in such a bad situation, it should be feared.
Fortunately, they are two.
Jiang Xuening did not answer, just holding Xie Wei’s hand to stand firm, turned to look back again.
All the members of the church stood behind.
At first, she didn’t feel what she was doing, but she didn’t know why she felt guilty: it’s OK to bully a weak woman. The bullied people didn’t show the inferiority of being bullied, but showed a kind of contempt and magnanimity.
The whole room was quiet.
All eyes fell on her.
After taking back her eyes, Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes, carried her skirt and said “it’s OK” to Xie Wei. Then she stepped up the steps step by step and stood in front of Lu Tai.
But he didn’t talk.
She didn’t even show too much anger, just raised her hand and bowed slightly to the other side.
At that moment, there was a lot of noise under the stage.
Everyone whispered and talked.Jiang Xuening, even plain faced, has an amazing appearance. She is slender but not weak. Her back is straight and strong. When people stand on the stage in this spring night, the evening wind blows the skirt, and the torches burning all around illuminate her figure, like a touch of magnificent color, dotted in the dark world.
This is a very nice ceremony.
What’s more, they are in a mess with her.
For a girl, it’s not pleasant at all.
Who would have thought that she not only did not cry, did not make noise, did not fear, and even took the initiative to salute Lutai? Beauty is beautiful, it doesn’t need to do more, it has a little bit of high and low.
It’s not just the people who shed their blood for Tianjiao. What’s more, they didn’t know the truth of the battle of Tongzhou. They just regarded it as a real play. Seeing such a wonderful start and strong contrast, they could not help boiling up.
Who doesn’t want to see the jokes of high-ranking people?
Some people even couldn’t help laughing and cheered loudly on the stage: “grand old man, no woman has manners yet! Master Lu can’t do it! ”
Last night, I didn’t finish it. Today, I’m going to add a new chapter. I’ll come later.
