There were seven or eight soldiers guarding the main gate of Dongyuan. When they saw their companion being knocked to the ground, they all shouted in unison and rushed forward. However, they saw two lamas holding sticks snatched out from behind Gongzashi and waving their hands. The stick in his hand was facing the soldiers.
The soldiers stabbed at them with their spears. The two lamas were skilled in stick skills. They were like a whirlwind. Although they were against many enemies with a small number, they were aggressive. They swept away the spears and pushed forward. However, the soldiers could only retreat continuously. Some people had already He shouted: "Come quickly, there are assassins, there are assassins!"
The two lamas forced the soldiers back and stopped when they heard Gongzashi shouting behind them. However, they still straightened their sticks and faced the front, glaring at the soldiers.
The noise in front of the door had already alarmed the people in Dongyuan. There were bursts of footsteps, and dozens of people rushed out of Dongyuan in a moment. They all held knives and guns and formed a formation in front of Dongyuan Gate. Two human walls.
Not long after, the crowd parted, and a person hurriedly came out of the crowd, but it was Prince Yu of the Northern Han Dynasty. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was startled and frowned, but he still took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know how many people there are." Master came here late at night, what do you have to say?" I thought it was because there was some friction between these lamas and Beitang Feng.
Gongzhaxi took a few steps forward, stared at Prince Yu, and said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains, which is that water from a well does not offend the river. We have not offended you, but you have repeatedly violated us." He glanced at it and said solemnly: " We just want our stuff back.”
Prince Yu looked confused and frowned: "Take your things back? What does Master mean by this? Do you have something in our hands?" At this time, he suddenly saw the night traveler being escorted behind Gongzashi. , was startled, thought of something, turned around and said: "Where is Prince Feng?"
I heard a voice coming from behind: "Uncle Yu, I'm here, what happened?" I saw Beitang Feng had come out of the crowd, and when he saw Gong Zhaxi and others, his expression changed slightly. When he saw the night traveler, his body was shaken, but he still tried his best to stay calm.
"What trouble did you get into?" Prince Yu looked coldly at Beitang Feng, "How could Lord Water God fall into their hands?"
Beitangfeng's eyes flashed and he said: "Uncle Huang, I... I don't know what's going on." He raised his finger and pointed at Gongzhaxi and said: "Why do you, a monk, want to arrest our people? You are so big courage."
Gongzashi said coldly: "Prince Feng, we don't want to cause trouble. If we return our things, we don't have to pursue any further charges."
"Something?" Beitang Feng frowned and said, "What thing?"
A person next to Gongzashi said angrily: "Are you still pretending to be confused? You sent someone to steal our... Humph, you know what it is. If it is not returned, this matter will not stop."
"It's really ridiculous." Beitangfeng spread his hands and said, "This prince just came back not long ago, and you said that I sent someone to steal your things. It's sheer nonsense."
Gongzhaxi took a step away, raised his hand and pointed at Lord Water God and asked: "This is your person, there is nothing wrong with it?"
Beitang Feng said: "Yes, he is my prince's man. I want to ask you now, why did you arrest my man for no reason?"
Gongzhaxi obviously knew that Beitangfeng was a man of strong words, and said to Prince Yu: "This man sneaked into our house and stole our box with his companion. His companion escaped with the box, and we caught him Men, doesn't this count as proof? If the boxes are not exchanged, you will never have peace unless we all die."
Prince Yu looked coldly at Beitang Feng and didn't say anything. Beitang Feng was a little panicked by Prince Yu, "Uncle Emperor, this... this has nothing to do with me. It must be these monks who hate me, so they found an opportunity to capture Lord Water God." …!”
Suddenly I heard a voice saying: "My master has even caught the murderer, but you are still talking tough. Hey, a man dares to do something. If you don't admit it, what does it mean?" I saw that on the other side of the stone arch bridge, there were already A group of people came over, and the first person wearing light clothes was Qining.
When Beitang Feng saw Qi Ning and heard his cold words, he immediately shouted: "What does this have to do with you? Get out of here."
Qi Ning sneered and said: "My brothers and I have been traveling hard in the middle of the night. We wanted to have a good sleep at night, but the noise here disturbs our rest. How can it have nothing to do with us?" He walked forward slowly and walked onto the stone. At the arch bridge, Gongzhaxi saw Qi Ning bringing people over. Thinking that Qi Ning had spoken for him during the day, he felt somewhat good about him. He clasped his hands to Qi Ning and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing my rest."
Qining waved his hand and said: "Master, there is no need to apologize. This matter did not originate from you. I heard it too. I heard that they stole your things. I wonder if that's true?"
Gongzashi immediately said: "That's right." Pointing to Lord Water God, he said: "This is the thief we caught. His companions escaped with their things."
Qi Ning sighed: "Prince Feng, you are also the prince of the Northern Han Kingdom after all. No matter how poor the Northern Han Kingdom is, there should always be some rare and rare treasures. Why worry about the things of these masters? Take them. Just return other people's things to them as soon as possible, and making noises in the middle of the night is just a joke."
"Shut up!" Beitangfeng shouted sternly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Go as far as you can, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Qi Ning frowned and said: "This is not the Northern Han Dynasty. Don't speak too loudly. You are bullying these masters and stealing their things without admitting it. You are acting like a rogue." Pointing to the back, "You yourself Take a look, my people are no less than yours. If we fight, I'm not afraid of you. You said you're welcome, but I want to ask, how are you going to be rude?"
Prince Yu finally said: "Jin Yihou, don't be on the same level as him. I'm afraid there is still some misunderstanding."
"Prince Yu, it's not Qi who is causing trouble." Qi Ning sighed: "These masters and thieves have come to the door, so what misunderstanding can there be? It's really not possible. Just go to the street and ask someone casually. What else can you say? What's the reason?" He shook his head and said: "Actually, if this matter is publicized, it will be bad for your country's reputation. The majestic prince of the Northern Han Dynasty sent Shui Shenjun, one of the Five Elements Gods of Jiutian Tower, to commit theft in the middle of the night. , this...!" He did not continue.
Everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty mission knew Prince Feng's temperament, and they all believed that Beitang Feng had done this. It would have been better if they had done it secretly, but now not only did it not get done, but it was actually done by a few monks. The most terrible thing was that a large group of people from the Chu State's envoy were watching the joke, and they all felt that they were disgraced.
Prince Yu knew that it was a matter of state affairs, and he bowed his hands to Gongzhaxi and said: "Master, I must give you a satisfactory answer on this matter. It's quiet at night, and in order not to disturb the rest of the Chu delegation, it's better to go to the hospital first. I don't know what Master's opinion is. ?”
He knew that if this stalemate continued, he would only become more and more embarrassed, so he could only invite these lamas into the courtyard first, close the door and talk slowly.
Gongzashi shook his head and said: "There is nothing to say. Once you take the things, you have to exchange them. You return the things and we will leave immediately."
Prince Yu frowned slightly, glanced at Beitang Feng, and whispered: "Is it in your hand? Take it out quickly."
Beitang Feng shook his head and said: "Uncle Huang, it's not in my hands. I... I haven't even touched it."
Prince Yu knew his nature, so how could he believe it? He snorted coldly, turned around and walked straight into the courtyard. He ignored him. Beitang Feng hurriedly said: "Uncle, Emperor." After two steps, Prince Yu didn't even look up. After returning, Beitangfeng felt a little angry. He was already arrogant, but now he was wronged by everyone, and he felt extremely angry. He turned around, pointed at Gongzhaxi and said: "Smelly Lama, that thing of yours is here." What can happen if the prince has it in his hands? If you have the ability, take it back now."
Gongzhaxi's face turned cold, and the other lamas also glared angrily. He took a few steps forward and heard a crashing sound. The soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were already swarming up, with spears like a forest, guarding Beitang Feng. Beitang Feng knew that he had a large number of people, so naturally he would not take a few lamas seriously, and sneered: "Don't talk about your broken package, even if I take your heads, what will happen? If you have the ability, Just fight in and take it back." He ignored it and turned back to the courtyard.
Gongzhaxi and several lamas were gritting their teeth, but there were dozens of soldiers in front of them. They knew that the opponent had a large number of people and there were many experts in the Northern Han Dynasty mission, so they did not force their way in. Gongzhaxi clasped his hands together and looked. Looking at Beitang Feng's back, he said loudly: "Heaven has its way, and the earth has its geography. If the treasure does not return, even if we all die, our souls will still be entangled with you." He was actually sitting cross-legged on the stone bridge, and other lamas also They all sat on the stone bridge and blocked the stone arch bridge.
Qin Ning knew in his heart that the Northern Han Dynasty envoy and Gongzashi and his party had truly formed a deadly feud. He squatted down beside Gongzashi and said softly: "Master, it seems that they don't want to admit their fault. This is Dong Qi after all. Master, it's not as good as Find officials from Dong Qi and ask them to mediate and resolve this matter."
Gongzhaxi said: "Thank you for your care. If we can't get our things back, we won't be able to return to Qinghai-Tibet. We can keep our lives, but we must get our things back."
Qining listened to his calm tone, but the more it sounded, the more it revealed the resentment in Gongzhaxi's heart. He thought that he must not let these lamas know that the box was in his hands, otherwise there would be endless trouble. He glanced at Shui Shenjun, Shui Shenjun, Shenjun was tied up with a rope made of beef tendons. Because his internal energy was almost completely absorbed, he looked sluggish and his eyes were lifeless. He was leaning against the bridge pier, weak and dying.
After Qi Ning had absorbed this person's inner energy before, not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he felt that his energy had doubled and his whole body felt unusually comfortable. He knew that he was lucky this time. This Water God Lord must have pure Yin Qi in his body, which would be the easiest to integrate into him. The ice energy in the body promotes the improvement of one's internal strength.
"Since the master has decided like this, I can't say much." Qining sighed: "Several masters have come all the way from Qinghai-Tibet, far away from their homeland. If there is anything I can do to help, feel free to ask. It's not easy to be away from home. "
Gongzhaxi said gratefully: "Thank you very much!" He thought that compared with Beitang Feng, this Marquis of Chu State was like a Bodhisattva.
Qi Ning smiled slightly, stood up and walked away, then led a group of his men back to the West Garden of the Post House.
