Chapter 36: Meeting the Buddha Again
Zhang Mo had been in the secret room for a whole night.
Before the imperial army attacked the city midnight last night, he was still resting in the mansion rewarded by Du Mingyu, but when he woke up, he was in a room surrounded by moss and stone walls. There was no light, no voice, and his throat was hoarse and he received no response. He didn't know what happened, nor when he could go out. He was not worried about his life and death, but only worried about his mother's safety.
But now I can do nothing, only endless waiting!
A creaking sound rang out, the thick stone slab moved away, and a faint light came in from the top of his head. Zhang Mo rushed over, his eyes suddenly stinged, and covered his hands and asked, "Who are you, why did you imprison me here? Where is my mother now? How can you?"
The person who came did not make a sound, tied the rope to the bamboo basket and slowly hanged down, and then the stone slab closed, letting Zhang Mo call, without any sound. Zhang Mo sat down dejectedly, touched the food and drinking water from the bamboo basket, and was angry for a moment, throwing the bamboo basket out fiercely. The water-filled utensil was smashed, and the terrible silent stone chamber was only the sound of clear water gurgling, and it was soon flowing all over the ground.
After about a stick of incense, Zhang Mo calmed down from his mania, knelt on the ground, groped and found the water stains on the ground, then leaned down, pressed his hands tightly on the ground, licking water like a dog to quench his thirst.
He can't die yet, he must live!
"Xiao Yushu killed Wang Chun!"
Zhu Zhi smiled.
Xu You's eyes gathered slightly and asked, "Don't I be surprised?"
Zhu Zhi shook his head, poured tea for Xu You, and said, "Wang Chunli Jing has been destined to be a dead person since then!"
"Why?" Xu You stared at the tea in the cup. He has been in this world for more than two years, but he still can't get used to this kind of raw tea without fried food. It is bitter and difficult to swallow. But the advantage is that it can make people think clearly.
"Do you know who recommended Wang Chun as the military supervisor?"
"who?"
"Liu Yi, Minister of War!"
Seeing Xu You confused, Zhu Zhi knew that he was not very proficient in the court's personnel and explained: "Liu Yi's fourth brother Liu Sui was once the prefect of a county. He was arrested by the Sili Mansion and died in Huangsha Prison. It is said that he was exhausted when he died and suffered all the torture. Therefore, Liu Yi and Xiao Xunqi have always been incompatible, and the government and the country know everything. This time, Liu Yi recommended Wang Chun, and looked on the surface, he deliberately came to cause trouble for Xiao Yushu, and then attacked Xiao Xunqi..."
"In fact?"
"In fact, there is another mystery!" Zhu Zhi picked up the tea and drank it slowly, and said, "I got the information. Just a few months ago, Liu Yi's son Liu Qi served as a border general at the junction of Chu and Liang. He privately sold the armor to Liang Kingdom, and made great profits. The Sili Mansion sent Tu Li from the Wohusi to verify. In order to avoid the reappearance of Liu Sui's tragedy, Liu Yi secretly visited Xiao Xunqi. Subsequently, the Wohusi withdrew Tu Li and stopped investigating the case."
Xu You knew it clearly and said, "In return, Liu Yi recommended Wang Chun's central army to conquer the military forces of Qiantang?"
"That's right! Wang Chun, as the chief censor, is the right thing to do when he releases the military supervisor. In addition, he and Xiao Xunqi are mortal enemies, Liu Yi's move did not arouse any suspicion."
Zhu Zhi paused and smiled and said, "Since there is no doubt, Wang Chun's death is of course an accident!"
Xu You sighed sincerely: "Awesome, awesome!"
"Yes, Xiao Xunqi has been in charge of Sili Mansion for decades, killing countless people, and offending countless people, but he has always stood firm and is deeply trusted by the Lord. Without some powerful means, how can it be done?"
Xu You laughed and said, "No, I'm talking about the fourth uncle is amazing!"
Zhu Zhi raised his head and jokingly said, "Oh? Where is my awesome?"
"The meeting between Liu Yi and Xiao Xunqi must be top secret. They were discovered by the Fourth Uncle. All their plans were as if they were witnessed by themselves. Compared with the Fourth Uncle, the Sili Captain and the Little Minister of War, they are not quite as powerful as they are!"
Zhu Zhi pointed at Xu You and laughed and said, "Qilang, Qilang, you are putting me on the stove and baking it! Well, it's okay to tell you. I know this, it's pure accident, not that I have such great supernatural powers. Liu Qi has a confidant general who has received my kindness in his early years. After Liu Yi and Xiao Xunqi reached a reconciliation, he warned Liu Qi to restrain his actions from now on and not to absent from Liang Kingdom and do things that violate the laws of the country. Liu Qi cut off a lot of money and was told by the general when he complained privately. When he wrote me a letter to him, he mentioned... So when Liu Yi recommended Wang Chun to be the censor, I knew that this person would be alive soon!"
What else can Xu You say? He is not qualified to participate in the grudges and hatreds of the big guys in the court, but listening to these bloody inside stories will make you more careful. In this power field, everyone is a ruthless beast. If you are not careful, the next person to die is himself!
"General, there are 5,000 people who jumped into the sea with Du Mingyu at the dock. Add to the white thief who died before, Qiantangdu was almost filled with corpses..."
Xu You and Zhu Zhi closed their smiles at the same time and looked at each other. Xu You's chest was stuffy and could not suppress the sorrow in his heart. He lowered his head without saying a word. Zhu Zhi's face was gloomy and terrible. After a while, he said coldly: "Xiao Yushu, Xiao Yushu... He is so cruel!"
These people who were buried with their lives were not all Taoist people of the Heavenly Master Dao. A large part of them were the real people of the Six Heavenly Church who believed in the Wuwei Banners and Flowers, and aimed at the six-day rule of prosperity.
In Xu You's previous life, a world where he had been brainwashed by rapidly expanding desires, there would never be any great things that were only read in history books that were willing to die with the lost faith, such as the famous Battle of Yashan, where 100,000 people jumped into the sea to sacrifice their country. But that was a battle between nations, a desperate battle for the rise and fall of the world. If you die, you will die, which is a feat.
What are these six-day church members?
For the ambitions of some people, for the long-destroying sects, or for the puppets that have been controlled by the sects?
Terrible, hateful, pitiful, and lamentable!
But it's unrespected!
Xu You picked up the teacup and slowly sprinkled it on the ground. In order to commemorate the undead who should not have passed away with the wind, whether it is the Six Days or the Heavenly Master, no matter when and no matter what teaching, its purpose is not to die!
It's time to change all this!
The next day and night, Zhu Zhi's personal army killed forty-eight soldiers in Qiantang City, hung their bloody heads on their ponytails, circled the city three times, and told the army that it was a warning, so it stopped the tide of looting the people everywhere. The Zuo Army had the most people killed, and the army leader was resentful and told Xiao Yushu's seat. Before he finished speaking, he was beaten hard by Xiao Yushu with a horse whip and scolded: "I order all the troops to strictly order them to be sure to be completely uninfringed after entering the city. If you are not strict in your rule, you will be even worse than the bandits, and you still have the courage to come here to cry? But do you think I am good at bullying? General Zhu killed well and killed too few. Get back to me. If another person from the Left Army violates my general order, you will be beheaded and apologize to the Qiantang elders!"
The commander of the left army retreated in a mess. He did not dare to take Xiao Yushu's words as if he was heard. Don't forget that the previous killing Qiu Yuan was the serious general Zhe Chong. Xiao Yushu cut it down as soon as he said that. How many heads did he dare to disobey the general?
With the lessons of the Left Army Commander, the military disciplines of each army immediately improved. Without Zhu Zhi's efforts and troubles to maintain them, the nightmare of the people of Qiantang finally came to an end. Unfortunately, after a series of battles, one out of ten households in the city was already full of sorrow and miserable!
Xu You stayed in the city for two days, and during this period he returned to Jingyuan. The burning fire had just been put out. The once elegant and deep house turned into ashes, and it was no longer the same as before.
"Fenghu, do you think I have a problem with my horoscope? First it was Yixing, then Jingyuan. Anyone who has a home will always be burned clean."
"My husband is sad!" Zuo Qi's tiger's eyes were a little sad. Jingyuan was more like a home for them, not just a temporary place to settle down, saying: "As long as the person is still there, Jingyuan can restore its original appearance!"
"No need, it's gone. When we return to Qiantang in the future, we will find another place to live!"
Although Xu You is nostalgic, he is not obsessed with the brink of tyrants. Looking at Jingyuan's broken appearance, it is impossible to live in a place without months or even a year of renovation and reconstruction. Instead of consuming time and manpower like this, it is better to start again.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the end of the street. One person came to Xu You, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down and said, "Langjun Xu, General, please go back immediately!"
"Is there something urgent?"
This man is named Zhu Sheng, who is Zhu Zhi's confidant, and Xu You recognizes it. He looked around and took two steps forward, and whispered: "I've found Zhu Wulu!"
Zhu Wulu?
He is not dead yet?
Xu You showed a look of surprise. Since he met Xue Monk last time, he had been in a clan. He only heard that he was pulled by Du Mingyu in an ox cart and was soaked in a white dress in a manure bucket. He suffered inhuman humiliation and torture, both physically and mentally. In addition, he was seriously disabled and his martial arts were useless. He could not live for too long. Unexpectedly, even Du Mingyu died, and he was still alive in a breath of stagnation!
This vitality is really tenacious!
"How did you find him?"
Xu You looked at the pile of mud-like Zhu Wulu on the floor of the room. He was even more deserted than when he saw it last time. If he hadn't known it, he would have thought it was just piled on the roadside that smelled smelly garbage and wouldn't have looked at it even more.
