Riding the Pheonix Chapter 110: Evacuate
It was a sleepless night.
Baoling Temple is brightly lit.
"What's going on? What happened?" Mrs. Ming was extremely panicked when she heard the footsteps outside.
She is someone who has experienced war. When she was young, the world was in chaos, and she had seen things like soldiers and horses besieging the city. When she heard the sound, she knew it was the sound of marching footsteps.
The second lady immediately sent someone to look at it. After a while, she came back and reported: "Old madam, we are soldiers, we have soldiers!"
Everyone in the room was panicked.
Why are there soldiers? The mountain fire has been put out, what are these soldiers doing?
At this moment, Ming Sheng came back.
"Grandma, second aunt, mother." He saluted and said, "Don't be afraid, these soldiers were sent by Lord Chiang. Something happened in Baoling Temple now, and Lord Chiang is handling it."
"Even soldiers and horses were used. What kind of thing was it?" Mrs. Ming asked hurriedly.
Ming Sheng shook his head: "We can't talk about this now. In short, if we just stay honest, nothing will happen."
Mrs. Ming nodded, thinking of her son and nephew who were still ahead, and asked: "Where are your father and your second uncle?"
Ming Sheng was silent and replied: "They are with the prince!"
Mrs. Ming felt somewhat comforted and said to her daughter-in-law and nephew-in-law: "Since we are with the prince, nothing will happen. There are many guards around the prince!"
After comforting his relatives, Ming Sheng left the Buddhist temple on the pretext of going to the front to summon people.
He stood in the night for a while, and Mingxiang came out: "Fourth brother!"
Mingxiang knew more than others and felt very uneasy.
She intuitively felt that this matter was related to her family.
Ming Sheng reluctantly smiled at her: "It's okay, don't worry, fourth brother is here!"
Mingxiang looked back and saw that no one else was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Fourth brother, tell me honestly, does this matter have something to do with our family, right? Third uncle..."
Mingsheng was silent for a while, reached out and touched her head gently, and said softly: "You must be mentally prepared, our family... may be in trouble."
Ming Xiang raised his head and asked him: "Will it affect the whole family? My parents, my sixth brother and my ninth brother..."
"It won't happen." Ming Sheng said softly, "Fourth brother just went to Mr. Jiang to tell him about this matter, and your seventh sister has also been doing this for a long time. For those of us who have merit, Mr. Jiang promised to do it for us. We beg for mercy."
"Seventh sister?" Mingxiang had tears in his eyes, "Seventh sister, how are you? That fire..."
"It's okay, she was rescued." Ming Sheng said lightly, "She doesn't even care about her reputation. In fact, she has done a lot of things behind her back. Don't misunderstand her in the future."
Mingxiang held back tears and nodded: "I know, I have never believed those rumors."
Ming Sheng smiled.
Although his father is disappointing, he still has such a good sister!
"Go in! Don't show your presence, and stay with your mother. When the sun comes up, there should be an explanation."
"Yes." Mingxiang took two steps in and then turned back, "Fourth brother, you are also very, very good."
Mingsheng almost shed tears.
……
Seeing that the mountain fire was extinguished and the road down the mountain was still open, some officials in the hall wanted to take a rest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he was blocked back by two fierce guards.
"What are you doing? I just want to take a rest, why are you stopping me?"
The guard guarding the door said coldly: "Master Jiang has ordered that you all stay here for the time being."
The official was shocked: "Why do you want to stay here? Why do you want to put us under house arrest?"
The guard only glanced at him: "Your Majesty, this is what you command, and this is what we will do."
Not even a single explanation was given.
The official was so angry that he went to complain to Magistrate Wu: "Master Futai, look at this... what have we done? We just came to celebrate the Buddha Bathing Festival, but we are still grounded?"
But Magistrate Wu knew the inside story. He glanced at Prince Qidong and saw that he was not moving, so he said: "What Mr. Jiang said makes sense. Let's wait for now."
Unknown to everyone, Prince Qidong was in a state of confusion at this moment.
He listened to Mr. Wu's suggestion and decided to get out in time and throw Ming San out. Now that he knew why Jiang Wenfeng went out, he was even more unwilling to cause trouble.
Prefect Wu did not step forward, Prince Qidong also acquiesced, and the room full of officials and gentry was detained.
Not long after, the sound of tramping of soldiers and horses was heard outside, which shocked them into confusion.
What happened? Troops were actually dispatched?
Fortunately, these soldiers and horses did not rush in to arrest anyone, but the guards outside the palace were tighter.
After waiting like this for half an hour, a voice finally came from outside: "Jiao Zhi, the humble guard of Lichuan, comes to see Mr. Jiang!"
Lichuan is on guard? Lichuan is the capital of the state next door, so they actually mobilized soldiers from other places?
People who work in officialdom have a keen sense of smell and feel bad when they hear it. I just hope that this matter will not involve me.
Some people with ulterior motives frequently visited Prince Qidong.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Jiao." Jiang Wenfeng's gentle voice came in.
Na Jiao Zhi responded loudly: "I don't dare to bear the burden of a single word from you on matters within my scope of duties."
Jiang Wenfeng smiled: "Thanks to the general, everything went smoothly this time. I will definitely report the truth truthfully."
Jiao Zhi was excited. It is difficult for a military attache to gain merit in the local area. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Who said that Mr. Jiang only cares about his own reputation? Don’t forget to give credit to others for such a big thing.
"Thank you for the promotion, sir!"
Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "I don't bother you two masters. Please take care of the rest of the matter, general. ~IndoMTL.com~ Jiao Zhi immediately patted his chest: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle this matter properly. ”
"Okay, here you go, General."
Jiao Zhi shouted: "Brothers, go to work!"
"Yes!"
The sound of footsteps and the clashing of soldiers and armors sounded again, followed by various shouts. It seemed that the people who were stranded in the temple were being expelled.
The people in the palace were flustered, and Jiang Wenfeng came in.
He still looked that gentle and smiling, but at this moment he could not appease these officials.
This Mr. Jiang is always smiling. Who knows if he is also smiling when he kills people.
That's strange. Didn't he sort out Dongning's affairs and prepare to leave? Why did you come here suddenly? Has something illegal been discovered again?
Bah, bah, bah! Crow's mouth!
"My lords." Jiang Wenfeng smiled and cupped his hands, "Something happened in Baoling Temple. Now we need to evacuate the crowd as soon as possible. If these soldiers are offended, please do not blame them."
Huh? disperse the crowd? So you're not here for them?
Zhifu Wu stood up immediately and responded with a smile: "How dare you? I just don't know what happened? Mr. Jiang also told us something, so that we can have peace of mind!"
Jiang Wenfeng said calmly: "This Baoling Temple is suppressing an evil spirit, and I don't know who destroyed the magic circle. Now there are Xuanshi who have rushed over. They are only worried about trouble, so they asked us to evacuate the crowd first."
Wu Zhifu was relieved in his heart, but his face was shocked: "Such a thing could actually happen? It's because the subordinate neglected his duty and didn't know anything about it."
"If someone else hadn't reported this kind of thing to me, I wouldn't have believed it. What would it have to do with Mr. Wu? Well, time is running out. Everyone, please prepare quickly. We will go down the mountain soon." Enter. Chapter Comments (0)?
