"What's wrong, Yun Niang?" Fu Juren asked with concern.
Yu Yunjun frowned and sighed for a long time: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to introduce Pei Ziyun into the Taoist sect."
Seeing Fu Juren's confusion, she stared into the distance for a long time, then looked back and said, "You also know that the aura of a noble man is shining brightly."
"Originally, this child is both red and white, with a reddish middle. This is the aura of fame and fortune, which is not uncommon."
"But just now, the energy that is gradually taking shape this month was originally a layer of mountains and a bit muddy in color. Today it suddenly turned into a line of blue, slightly colorful, with patterns but not mixed. This is a famous article."
After hearing this, Fu Juren felt lost for a long time and asked again: "The blue line is slightly tinged with color. What does this mean?"
"The color green is the main part of the article, but it is not known by others. If it is praised by others, it will first be a rainbow, and then it will appear in three colors: red, yellow and blue. The more it is praised, the longer it will be, and the red and yellow will gradually fade away and turn into pure blue."
"Achieving perfection means that this son has fulfilled his promise and can achieve immortality. He may not be inferior to Taoist promotions. That's why I said that I don't know whether it is right or wrong to introduce Pei Ziyun into Taoism."
Fu Juren thought of Pei Ziyun's articles and poems that had spread across several counties these days, causing a sensation throughout the state. He even heard that the introduction of wine had spread to Kyoto. He felt moved in his heart and moved his lips, but did not say anything. He just said: "But I heard that Pei Ziyun is also very talented in Taoism?"
"Yes, he is capable of both literary and martial arts." Yu Yunjun was a little confused.
"Isn't this a good thing? No matter how you say it, he is your disciple. The one who will promote your sect must be this son." Fu Juren said, and suddenly sighed: "Having a son should be like Pei Ziyun."
Hou Mansion
"Brother Wei, I have finished reading your book and I am here to return it to you." A palace guard led Pei Ziyun to Wei Ang's small courtyard. The last time Pei Ziyun served as a general in the Hou Mansion for a drink, Wei Ang had given instructions. Pei Ziyun Ruo Come to him and lead him in directly.
Entering the small courtyard, Pei Ziyun shouted, seeing Oriole coming out, he said, "Master Pei is here. My master has gone out. He should be back later. Please sit down."
Oriole was very polite and invited Pei Ziyun into the room to sit down and saw that tea was being made.
The teapot was steaming, and a maid was lighting the fire and fanning the air. After just sitting for a while, she heard a voice outside the door: "Brother Pei is here?"
As he said that, he saw Wei Ang coming in, wearing a suit with wide sleeves and a graceful demeanor.
"Brother Pei, are you here because you have finished reading the book?" Wei Ang's eyes lit up when he saw Pei Ziyun holding two oil paper bags, and Pei Ziyun smiled: "I have finished reading the book, so I am here to return the book."
Wei Ang said: "Why return these originals to me? Brother Pei just keeps them."
Pei Ziyun returned the seven famous novels given by Wei Ang. Wei Ang then put them down casually and said, "Brother Pei rarely comes out and can't stay in the room for a long time. Why don't you go and relax?"
"Of course!" Pei Ziyun wrote a book and was in a good mood, so he happily agreed.
The group of people went out with wine. This mountain is in the north of the state capital. It is not very big. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the capital city. When they arrived, the whole mountain looked blue-grey.
"Brother Pei, there is a spring on the top of the mountain, which makes the mountain lush and green, with secluded paths and lush forests. It is very impressive that the literati built a pavilion where they came. From here, you can see the sea of clouds and the rising sun."
"The next step is Tanggong Temple."
Pei Ziyun climbed up the stairs and looked around when he reached the pavilion. He saw that although it was winter, there were still large pine and cypress trees in the mountains far and near, and there was the sound of wind and waves. Going up further, he saw a temple.
This temple is not big, with only a few incense burners. When I looked up, I saw a plaque in front of the temple with three large gold characters of "Tang Gong Temple" written on it.
"This Tang Gong was very popular. During the previous dynasty, Tang Gong accompanied him and was attacked. He covered the emperor's breakout, blocked the arrows flying like feather locusts, and protected the emperor from death."
"When the emperor was able to escape from the great calamity, he built a shrine in this city, and his descendants will be hereditary as count."
"In the previous dynasty, there were not only sacrifices for descendants, but also sacrifices for officials. Now that Xu has established it, although this temple has not been abolished, and this kind of temple for loyal ministers will not be abolished, it has not been sealed."
"What's more important is that the previous dynasty was destroyed, the Tang family was exterminated, and the descendants are just common people. The incense is becoming increasingly scarce, and no one is repairing it. It's really sad!"
At this time, the cold wind brought a little rain to their faces. After hearing these words, several people's hearts trembled a little. Pei Ziyun said: "The rise and fall of the human world has its own reasons, but the will of God is as deep as the sea, and we cannot understand it."
As he said this, a servant saw a stone table and quickly laid out dishes and poured them on the table. He smiled and said, "You two gentlemen, please have a drink to dispel the cold. We will also be happy."
"That's absolutely true." The two of them took turns to hold the cup and talked for a while. Four palace guards were on guard. After having a few drinks, someone suddenly shouted for death. ,
Pei Ziyun turned around and saw seven or eight warriors rushing forward with swords in their hands.
"The Holy Prison Sect is coming to attack and kill me?" Pei Ziyun was startled and was about to draw his sword. When he saw several guards beside Wei Ang, he drew his sword and three guards rushed forward. One guard was guarding Wei Ang. side.
Just as they were approaching, there was a slight sound from the side cliff. As soon as Pei Ziyun drew out his sword, he saw a warrior rushing up from the side cliff, slashing at Wei Ang, and loudly said: "The marquis of Jibei is a bandit, please forgive the lives of the people in the county." Come."
But before the man could be killed, Wei Ang's bodyguard moved forward to protect Wei Ang, his face turned cold, and he killed him with a sword. This bodyguard's martial arts skills were very high, and the killing warrior made the warrior parry again and again, and was slashed in the abdomen in just a few moves. The bleeding wouldn't stop.
The warrior retreated to the side cliff and gasped for air. The original plan was for a few people to attack, but it didn't work. His eyes were red and he shouted: "Thieves, you Japanese pirates are accomplices."
Panting heavily, he became increasingly pale as the blood flowed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward.
The warrior was cut off from the shoulder with a knife. He fell to the ground, vomiting blood from his mouth, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and his mouth was still moving, as if he was chanting his name: "Ah Mao, Ah Jin, I'm here..."
"Kill!" The guards were highly skilled in martial arts. Within a moment, all the attackers were killed. Only one guard was slightly injured. He was captured alive and was escorted up by two guards. Wei Ang stepped forward and asked: "You guys Who is it? Why did you attack me?"
"Bah, you Jibei Marquis Mansion colluded with the Japanese pirates, and everyone deserves to die. I only regret that I am not good at martial arts. If you catch me, you will kill me or chop me into pieces. I, Chen Nan, am not a hero even in the blink of an eye. Eighteen years later, I will be here again He is a good man, and he must kill the whole family of the Marquis of Jibei and avenge the people of Fu County."
Pei Ziyun couldn't help but feel cold after hearing this. Could it be that there is something inside Fu County
Wei Ang looked puzzled, with a bit of suspicion on his face, and cursed: "Since I, the Marquis of Jibei, have been favored by the imperial court, guarding Anzhou, and cleaning up bandits, how could I collude with the Japanese bandits? Don't slander me."
Chen Nan, who was kneeling on the ground, saw a sneer on his face and was about to say: "Don't you know..."
But before he could say anything, the attendant guarding Wei Ang took one step, swung his sword down, and immediately cut off the captured warrior's neck, blood spattered everywhere, and he cursed: "Damn thief, dare to slander the Jibei Hou Mansion. kill."
The palace guard then turned around and said, "Sir, these thieves may have accomplices. It's no longer suitable to play today. Let's leave quickly and go to the palace to report the crime."
This man is the captain of the Guards and knows how to deal with an attack.
Wei Ang was a little uneasy, and the guards guarded Wei Ang and Pei Ziyun, looking out with eager eyes, and slowly and cautiously retreated.
Chen Nan was seen bleeding all over the floor. Pei Ziyun passed by and saw something like a piece of paper on his body. He pretended to wave his hands and pointed secretly. The guards looked around but did not make any move from Pei Ziyun.
After this incident, the fun came to an end. The guards escorted Wei Ang to the foot of the mountain. When they returned to the mansion, the guards went to report the assassination. Not long after, there were people riding horses out of the mansion and heading towards the prefectural government office. Go, go to the Yamen of the state government to report the case. This is the assassination of the third son of the Hou family. It is not a trivial matter. If the report is passed on, the governor will ask.
Not long after, Shen Zhi came over. Seeing that Wei Ang was fine, he felt relieved and stepped forward: "Sir, I'm glad you're fine. Don't go out for the next few days until the guards and the prefectural government find out and eliminate them." Get rid of the remaining assassins before heading out."
Wei Ang's face looked a little bad, and he stood up and handed over his hands: "Just do as sir said."
Shen Zhi said again: "Pei Jieyuan, if something happened today, the Hou Mansion will definitely conduct an internal investigation. We will send palace guards to escort Pei Jieyuan back later. I hope Duke Xie Yuan can forgive me."
Pei Ziyun naturally agreed, and not long after, there were palace guards escorting Pei Ziyun back to Fu Mansion in an ox cart.
On the oxcart, Pei Ziyun saw no one around. He turned his hand and took out a piece of paper and looked at it carefully. It was a piece of paper with words of thanks from the Japanese pirates. It was written in Chinese and mixed with Japanese. It was generally clear that it was the Japanese pirates thanking the Marquis of Jibei. As for the government, how could these people get it
Pei Ziyun hesitated.
Based on the situation of attacking and killing warriors before, it seems that these people are from Fu County. I don't know where they got this paper and saw Wei Ang before they attacked.
This letter might be a forgery, or it might be a frame-up, but Pei Ziyun narrowed his eyes and remembered the Fusang warrior he had seen in the Marquis Mansion before, and recalled that the Governor had been assassinated in his previous life. Later, the imperial court ordered the Marquis to encircle and suppress him, and several years followed. Clean up Japanese pirates.
For a time, the Japanese pirates along the coast were extinct, and no one heard of their resurgence until the death of the original owner.
However, although the Marquis of Jibei had such great achievements, he was demoted and executed a few years later on the charge of disrespect. Now it seems that there is some explanation.
"Looking at the current situation, Da Xu has been established. He has reduced the military power of generals and turned it into civil rule. The governor has the endorsement of the court, suppresses the marquis, and gradually takes back power."
"The Marquis was unwilling to give in. From the results, it may not be that he colluded with the Japanese pirates, but that he encouraged the Japanese pirates to respect themselves. In the end, the Japanese pirates were surrounded and suppressed."
Although Wei Ang did not die in his previous life, he kept a low profile. Pei Ziyun vaguely understood the reason, and sighed: "Wei Ang, do you know about this?"
"It's a good thing you don't know. If you know, although our personal relationship is good, it will be difficult to continue." Pei Ziyun sighed. Any normal person would never forget the burning and killing of Japanese pirates.
"According to memory, the assassination of the Governor happened just a few days later. Although it failed, the Governor didn't know about it."
"I can use this to save the governor and gain friendship, but I will definitely harm the Marquis of Jibei by then. But if the Marquis of Jibei is allowed to support the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates will destroy Anzhou in the next few years, and everyone will be devastated, which is not advisable." Pei Ziyun decided. When the plan came, I heard a voice. Fu Juren shouted from outside: "Ziyun, are you there?"
"Uncle Fu, I'm here." After getting off the bullock cart, Fu Juren took a look and felt relieved, and said: "Just now, martial law was enforced in the city. It was said that the third son of the Marquis of Jibei was assassinated. I heard that you also went. I'm worried, let's see if you're okay."
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Fu. Today, Third Young Master and I went to play in the mountains. There was indeed an attack. I am fine. Before I took action, the guards killed all the assassins."
"By the way, are there any invitations to the governor's banquet recently? The form of the state capital is unknown. I also want to see it." Pei Ziyun asked.
Fu Juren was surprised at first, but then he reacted and said happily: "You have been studying at home every day these days. I thought you had forgotten it. Of course there is a post. You can go by yourself then."
"You and I, as scholars, should put the governor first."
