Chapter 150: The veteran is immortal and the lotus witheres

There was no time to comfort Bo Shang Saiyang, who had thrown away the mace and panted with his horse's neck. Qin Lei ordered people to surround the small village and not let anyone out. He also asked the scout captain Xu Tian to carry his imperial envoy's seal and go to the nearby Tong County to move troops, where a battalion of Jiangbei Guards were stationed.

At this time, Shi Gan and the others were also welcomed by the black guard. Although they looked a little embarrassed, they were not injured. They were much luckier than the poor Uncle Ma.

After forcing the overall situation, Lao Ma, who had lost too much blood, finally fainted. The black-clothed guards all had medical skills and were good at first aid on the battlefield. The two of them stepped forward to remove his armor and then placed him flat on the ground. After observing his pulse and heartbeat, they knew that it was not serious, so they used small scissors to lift his dark red clothes, revealing his bloody and bloody body. Fortunately, the scars were mostly blunt objects, which looked terrifying. In fact, under the barrier of the armor, the damage to the body was not that great. After surviving the inflammation, after recuperation for a while, they could recover their vitality.

What is really worrying is that a scar with bone stubble exposed on the left ankle should be caused by a hoe chopping behind an unprotected leg.

"The bones and tendons are broken?" Qin Lei, who was listening to Shi Gan's report on the incident, said with some regret. He already knew that the veteran had saved Bosang Saiyang and others by his own strength. He also used his life as a price to teach the most important lesson to these rookies - what is a qualified soldier.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Lei asked, "Where are others?"

The black-clad guard who reported the casualties said respectfully: "Seven were killed, eighteen seriously injured, and countless minor injuries."

This time, Qin Lei did not feel regretful and said calmly: "Okay, you have to pay some price for your stupidity." He waved his hand and asked the guard to retreat.

Then he turned to Shi Gan and said, "You keep talking."

Shi Gan was not injured, but his body was covered in sweat and dust, and his hair was tightly pressed against his forehead. He looked very embarrassed. He heard Qin Lei's orders and spoke up about their experiences in the village...

He took a few guards to put on and put them in the village. He found that there was no one on the entire street, and followed the sound to the threshing yard. The closer he got, the louder the sound. When he saw that more than 800 men, women, young and old were kneeling there in the whole village, and kowtowed to a three-foot-high stone carving Maitreya Buddha on the soil platform in the middle.

A young old man in a strange dress, sitting cross-legged beside the Buddha statue, was a strange old man in a strange manner, and he was the lead singer of these people. He only heard him howl with a gong and scream: "Sacrifice for the Buddha, and you will be able to enjoy the joy!"

The people who were kneeling down below shouted in a mess: "Sacrifice themselves to reach the Pure Land!"

The lord screamed again in his throat: "Those who kill one person are the One-dwelling Bodhisattva!"

The believer below yelled: "Those who kill ten people are the ten-dwelling Bodhisattvas!" There are shouts and responses, and it is extremely lively.

Shi Gan and his wife didn't want to expose their bodies, so they started to howl. After about a quarter of an hour, the activity came to an end.

After everyone stood up, the old man said with a sharp voice: "The son of the Maitreya Buddha, the omnipotent Prince Longhua said: If you are sincere in your heart, you will save your suffering. If you are deceived, you will be punished to hell!"

Everyone lay down again and howled for a long time, Long live Prince Longhua. Then they began to line up to show their sincerity. They either put a handful of copper coins or a string of cheap jewelry into the big jar in front of the old man.

Shi Meng saw that the shop owner had also come on stage the day before yesterday and threw in the piece of silver he gave him. This should be the largest amount today. The shriveled old man who had always had a stern face and squinted eyes reached out to him, and the shop owner was surprised and crawled over on all sides inexplicably.

The shriveled old man nodded slightly to the shop owner, and then reached out to rub his head a few times. The shop owner burst into tears and kowtowed to the shriveled old man in ecstasy. The shriveled old man looked like a master, and pointed at the stone Maitreya.

The shop owner looked ashamed and kowtowed to Shi Tou Maitreya desperately. After this behavior, he walked down happily. Halfway through, he seemed to remember something, and turned back and reported something to the old man softly, his eyes floating towards Shi Gan and the others.

Shi Gan and his wife immediately knew something was wrong and wanted to retreat. But the shriveled old man's voice came faster: "Catch those foreigners and make contributions to the Buddha."

Although Shi Gan and the others were wearing casual clothes, they stood out among the crowd of ragged clothes, and believers immediately surrounded them.

Fortunately, Shi Gan was very good at punching and kicking, and Niu Gaoma was very strong, and he often practiced the battle formation. He gritted his teeth and rushed out, and took the way. The disciples of the church were not willing to miss the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and they chased after them desperately, which led to the previous experience.

After listening to Shi Gan's story, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "It seems that this cult already has a broad public base, which is very difficult." Then he looked into the distance and said with hatred: "Zhishan, you are bald, you will see that you will be cut off by your own life."

Qin Lei’s imperial envoy’s seal was indeed more effective, at least in the past six days. Two hours later, Xu Tian arrived with five hundred soldiers.

Qin Lei exchanged a few greetings with the guard captain who led the team, and ordered Shi Gan to take the guards into the village to arrest people. The black-clad guards were still on the periphery.

On weekdays, the guards in Yuru Village do such a thing as catching people by themselves. After a storm, they pulled out the shriveled old man hiding in the cellar.

Qin Lei ordered people to take him away, and ordered the guard captain with a blank expression: "The village is full of cultists, and you can deal with it yourself." He also said to Xu Tian: "You stay here and go back after the matter is over."

After saying that, he ordered Shi Gan to gather his team and go to Jingzhou Prefecture City. This delay was already late at night when he returned to Qingcui Villa.

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Qin Lei ordered people to invite Qu Yanwu and Zhuo Wenzheng to come.

The mansions of the two were a little far away, and it would take an hour to arrive at the earliest. Taking advantage of this, Qin Lei and Shen Bing, who was ordered, had a small meeting in the study.

"Put down all the errands at hand and concentrate all your efforts on investigating the Maitreya Sect for me!" Qin Lei, behind the desk, said firmly.

Shen Bing said in a deep voice: "Don't Gong Liangyu care about it?"

"Put it aside, this rabbit is probably fighting against the Xiangyang Lake Navy, so he doesn't care about him." Qin Lei said a little depressedly. He promised Marshal Bosang to arrest the Nan Chu thief who coveted the "silo ship" as soon as possible.

Shen Bing hesitated and said, "Your Highness, is the situation so critical?"

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if Gu doesn't clear himself away as soon as possible, just wait to take the blame for the Maitreya Cult. Then, the king's title will be cut off and imprisoned for ten or eight years will be a young man."

After complaining, Qin Lei said seriously: "In five days, I will meet the monk Zhishan. At the same time, the Maitreya Cult's infiltration into the north and south of the Yangtze River, whether there is any collusion with the local tribes, and their strength distribution, must be roughly all of these."

Shen Bing bowed to accept the order.

Qin Lei stood up and sent him to the door, saying in a deep voice: "Gu never waited for the sheep to die before he would make up for it. Only by nipping the problem in the bud can the losses be minimized. Tell your subordinates that there was no satisfactory answer to Gu within five days, and they all went to the Rongjun Farm to shed sheep." It seemed that they didn't say it seriously enough, and then added viciously: "Don't think of it in this life."

Shen Bing is Qin Lei's number one confidant, so he naturally knew that he would not joke about such things. He nodded resolutely and took the order with a stern voice.

When Tuo Zhuo and the others arrived, Qin Lei still met them in the study.

After the greetings, Qin Lei said calmly: "The Lone King encountered something strange on the way to move troops. Please ask the two adults to discuss it together."

The two adults looked at each other and laughed in unison, "Listen with your ears."

It was less than a day since yesterday's incident, and with the news of Qin Lei deliberately blocking it, Ku Zhuo and the others didn't know the tragedy that happened in Xiaowangzhuang, Tong County. So they could still sit there and listen to Qin Lei's big dragon gate formation.

Qin Lei also smiled and said, "I was alone in a place called Xiaowangzhuang in Tong County. I saw that the store did not offer the God of Wealth to Maitreya..."

He was very eloquent and experienced it personally, so his speech was vivid and attracted all the minds of the two adults. When he heard the shop explaining the Maitreya Sect, Governor Qu laughed and said, "This sect's subordinates have also heard of it. It is also circulated among the Jiangbei clans, right, Lord Zhuo?"

Zhuo Wenzheng laughed and said, "The lower officials believe in the most saints and masters, and they don't know much about the powerful people of the outside world."

Qin Lei glanced at Zhuo Wenzheng, who was very alert and smiled and said, "Two sirs, listen to the orphans continue to talk..."

When they talked about what Shi Gan saw and heard after he brought people into the village, their expressions were not so relaxed. This was clearly a witch that deceived the public and squeezed out money! When they heard the shriveled old man's order, hundreds of people chased Shi Gan and others like crazy. The two finally realized that things were not that simple.

When they finally heard those crazy teaching the people to attack the military formation without fear of death and were finally killed, the two were already sweating. They were so powerful that they could not escape the storm in the future. Their current crimes were enough to take off the two men's black veils and take them to Beijing to wait for trial.

Qu Yanwu took out his handkerchief and wiped the white-haired sweat from his forehead, and said with a lucky heart: "Your Majesty is not joking, right?"

Qin Lei shook his head and said seriously: "I summoned the guards of Tong County to search the village. All the evidence and physical evidence have been seized. The National Taiwan Master should think of a solution."

The two of them looked pale and couldn't sit still.

Qin Lei added with a serious expression: "You also know that Gu came here this time to investigate the Zen spy case, but found that the Maitreya Sect had already spread completely in the south under the name of Zen. If their 'Crown Prince Longhua' raised his arms, the whole Jiangbei would definitely be turned upside down."

The cold sweat broke out from Qu Yanwu's forehead again, and he smiled slutty and said, "It's a place of troublesomeness." Then he said to Zhuo Wenzheng, who was silent, "Mr. Zhuo, you're right. You can't escape by hiding alone."

Zhuo Wenzheng nodded and said, "It's not too late to think clearly now." After that, the two got up and knelt down at Qin Lei's desk, leaned over and kowtowed, "Please help the prince, we are willing to be the lackeys under the door."

Qin Lei went east to Zhennan Military Camp and brought back the old marshal's only son. In the eyes of Tuo Zhuo, it was naturally a signal that the two families formed an alliance to overcome difficulties. At this time, Qin Lei in the eyes of the two was naturally much heavier than before. Finally, under the situation of internal and external difficulties, Qin Lei was completely reduced.

Qin Lei stood up and helped the two of them up and said gently: "Just work together, don't say so seriously." Although he said tactfully, he clearly accepted the two's surrender.

When they sat down again, the relationship between the three changed from prince and foreign minister to lord and retainer. Qin Lei was no longer so polite when he spoke. He said in a deep voice: "Next, Lord Zhuo will draw a memorial to inform the court of the rebellion of the Maitreya Cult in the South. The three of us jointly signed the news of the rebellion of the Maitreya Cult in the South, and the eight hundred miles were issued in an urgent manner."

Zhuo Wenzheng quickly agreed.

Qin Lei ordered Qu Yanwu again: "The original plan does not need to be changed. After the Zhennan Army arrives, we will follow the trend of martial law. Please use your governor token and ask Shannan Province to jointly arrange it secretly. Once martial law is done, we will clear the atmosphere of the demon with a thunderous momentum and a bright world for the two provinces."

Qu Yanwu added: "We must also separate the provincial boundaries to prevent monsters from rushing to other provinces to cause chaos."

Qin Lei nodded and said, "Mr. Qu is thoughtful, but we can't do it alone."

Zhuo Wenzheng continued: "Weichen will write this into the memorial."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "The two are the country's Gancheng, so doing these things is naturally no problem. I am worried too much."

The two of them said a few humble words, and finally couldn't help asking: "Prince, my subordinates are deeply trapped in it and cannot understand themselves. Please give me some advice so that they can feel a little confident."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "You two adults don't have to worry. The Lone King thinks that this rebellion of Maitreya Sect may not be all bad things."

The two of them thought to themselves, yes, if this is not the case, we cannot listen to your tricks like a grandson. But they said respectfully: "I hope to hear it carefully."

Qin Lei stretched out three fingers and said slowly: "There are three points. First, the court originally hoped that the south would become chaotic and cut the mess quickly. If you want to sleep, someone would give you a pillow, and the bosses would be relieved secretly."

The two nodded and said, "It's true."

"Second, only when it becomes chaotic can we implement military control and it is much easier to do things."

Zhuo Wenzheng said worriedly: "Will it be out of control?"

Qin Lei chuckled and said, "I got the news the day before yesterday that the two armies of Polu Shenwu have changed their defenses from Kyoto to the borders of Shanbei and Guanzhong provinces. They are just waiting to clean up the mess." In fact, these two armies were used by the court to force Boshang Marshal to step down. Of course, Qin Lei would not say it directly. If the two men who were already scared, they would know that their greatest backing would be in danger, and they would not know what they could do.

After hearing Qin Lei say this, Zhuo Wenzheng said with confidence: "In this way, we should really give it a try."

Qu Yanwu nodded and smiled, "There is a third one, please give me advice."

Qin Lei swept his solemn expression just now, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "As long as we solve the matter successfully, we can blame Jiangnan or Dongqi. At that time, you and I will not only not need to take responsibility for the chaos in Jiangbei..."

The two of them suddenly realized and thought to themselves: They will become heroes to quell the chaos, and it may be possible to go further. They couldn't help but feel very disappointed in Qin Lei's ability to find opportunities from the crisis. At this time, looking at the prince who was not as weak as possible, he had a little hope for the future.

The three of them planned carefully and Tuo Zhuo and the others were busy. With less than five days left, they naturally had to hurry up to avoid making mistakes and causing major mistakes.

After arranging everyone, Qin Lei suddenly became idle and sat there and didn't know what to do. While sighing that he was born as a superior, he decided to go and see Boshang Saiyang and his group arranged in the East Courtyard.

"I don't know if this kid is normal?" Qin Lei asked Huang Zhao beside him while walking towards the East Courtyard. Huang Zhao laughed in a low voice: "Where did the prince bring back such a dull gourd who doesn't say or laugh? I think he is like this in his life?"

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Xiao Huang, do you know that the boy used an 80-pound iron mace. And he killed forty people at one time?"

Huang Zhao's face turned pale and he said calmly: "So powerful? I won't say anything."

The two passed by the backyard with laughter, and Qin Lei suddenly asked, "What's wrong with that girl?"

Huang Zhaoxin said, "The Za Family is really right. The fairy-like girl is indeed the prince's forbidden body. She had already told the group of despicable people to put the rules. He lowered his eyebrows and said with a look: "If you say that, Miss Yun Yi is still in the laundry room, and she can complete the quantification every day, and she has never had any trouble. She is very obedient." He thought that the girl who was in the cold palace was about to turn over, so he quickly gave her a favor.

Qin Lei's steps gradually slowed down, rubbed his chin, and murmured: "Is it really a natural despicable bone?"

Huang Zhao didn't hear it clearly, and even said that Qin Lei was moved. He shook the whisk in his hand and leaned into Qin Lei's ear and said, "Do you want me to call Miss Yun Yi to the prince?"
To be continued...
