In the past two days, the atmosphere inside and outside Yunzhou City was extremely tense.
According to Yan Yongzhang's instructions, Shen Yuzai avoided the fixed position.
After the selection of the location of Yunzhou Temple was completed, the Yunzhou messenger rushed to Dezhou with two documents.
In the evening, the messenger returned.
The report document was delivered all the way to Wen Qingzhu.
After reading it, Wen Qingzhu sneered: "This Liu Guang is quite smart."
The document was delivered by Tang Qin himself. In the past two days, Wen Qingzhu told him the plan one after another.
So he basically knew what to do: "What does Texas say?"
Wen Qingzhu held up the document and said, "You will know after you see it yourself."
She put the paperwork on the table, walked to the door, and looked across the yard.
At this time, the news from Shuangfeng Mountain should also come back.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the soldiers around Fu Lie appeared.
Seeing the man coming over quickly, Wen Qingzhu just wondered why he was so slow.
After getting the news, Wen Qingzhu looked at it, raised his head and asked the person coming: "Did Fu Lie say something?"
The soldier cupped his hands and said: "No."
After letting the soldiers leave, Wen Qingzhu went back to the house and sat down.
She was puzzled, how could Pei Zhixuan appear in Shuangfeng Mountain
He actually helped them find the entrance to the treasure
"Sir, Texas wants to drag this matter out. This is their usual method."
Tang Qin has been lurking in Texas for the past few years, so of course he knows what their temper is.
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand: "Don't worry, Tao Baiwan has been in contact with Liuguang and the others over there, and based on the reports from the spies in Dezhou, a Huns stronghold has been identified."
"Why is Tao Baiwan so cooperative?" Tang Qin was a little surprised.
Last time Wen Qingzhu let Tao Wanwan out of the city, he was actually a little worried. What if Tao Wanwan ran away
Now that Wen Qingzhu said this, things went surprisingly smoothly.
No matter how you look at Tao Wanwan, he looks like their eyeliner.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the documents on the table and said, "It's very simple for a person like Tao Baiwan to regard wealth as his life. As long as he grasps his lifeline, everything will be easy."
As for money, there is more money at Shuangfeng Mountain.
Two days later, Yunzhou Temple was officially launched for construction.
At the same time, the news that Jiu Zhu became the abbot of Yunzhou Temple naturally spread.
In prison.
Wen Qingzhu sat at the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand. He looked at Jiu Zhu who was meditating inside and asked, "It's been an hour? Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"Why do you need to embarrass this poor monk? No matter what your decision is, this poor monk is willing to accept it." Jiu Zhu seemed to have become the slippery flower monk before.
In the dim light, Jiu Zhu's appearance was not clear.
The unique rancid smell in the cell was very unpleasant.
From time to time, the squeaking sounds of mice could be heard in my ears.
Looking back, Wen Qingzhu looked at the bowl in front of Jiu Zhu. There was this morning's porridge in it. He had finished it without leaving any bit.
Don’t you really want to live
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you come with me, you'll live. If you don't go, I'll cut off a piece of your body and feed it to the rats every day!"
Hearing this, Jiu Zhu opened his eyes suddenly, with uncontrollable fear on his face: "Sir, why do you need to threaten me? I can be the abbot of Yunzhou Temple, but I will never go to Dezhou!"
"Oh? Don't talk about poor monks now?" Wen Qingzhu deliberately found fault.
Facing Wen Qingzhu's half-smiling face, Jiu Zhu's expression slowly stiffened.
He knew very well that Wen Qingzhu would do what he said.
The most important thing is that she can guarantee that she will not die.
Jiu Zhu took a few deep breaths and said: "There are very powerful people over there in Texas, and you and I can't deal with them! Even if you have heavy troops, you can't!"
Looking into his eyes, Wen Qingzhu felt that Jiu Zhu was not lying.
The kind of fear that emerged from the depths of his heart could not be faked at all.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu talked about another thing: "Do you still remember how Xuan Wei died?"
"Wasn't he killed by an assassin? He was trying to protect me—"
Halfway through the words, Jiu Zhu felt something was wrong.
He remembered what happened that day, and there was a lot of blood in front of him. Later, Wen Qingzhu came in—
"Are you coming in?" Jiu Zhu asked involuntarily.
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that you have also discovered it. I feel like our memory has been changed."
"The memory has been changed?" Jiu Zhu suddenly leaned against the wall, holding his head and not daring to look at her.
Recalling the sound of iron chains, Wen Qingzhu walked to Jiu Zhu in a few steps.
I wanted to grab his hair and ask him to raise his head, but when I stretched out my hand, I found that Jiu Zhu's head was bald and he could retract his hand.
Wen Qingzhu put his hands behind his hands and said to Jiu Zhu: "It seems that you have noticed it too, so come with me and have a look. I feel that the people at Liu Guang's side may be gone."
"What do you mean it's gone?" Jiu Zhu raised his head and suddenly felt that Wen Qingzhu was very tall.
Wen Qingzhu squinted at him: "Of course it means literally. You have some wisdom to be accepted as a disciple by the master of Qingjing Temple. I think we will be fine this time."
One day later, Wen Qingzhu led five thousand Lu troops to set off.
After half a day's march, we arrived at the gate of North Texas City.
Compared with Yunzhou, which has a small population, Texas has a lot of people.
Seeing the army approaching, the people who were waiting to enter and exit the city immediately dispersed.
The city gate suddenly became empty.
The guard captain of the tower was so frightened when he saw the huge Lu family flag that he dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
After crawling down to greet him, the captain smiled and said to Wen Qingzhu: "General, I have already gone to invite Master Liu."
As soon as he finished speaking, on the horse behind Wen Qingzhu, Jiu Zhu couldn't help but bend down and vomit.
"vomit-"
Instantly, a sour smell overflowed.
The guard captain almost fainted and subconsciously covered his nose with his hand.
Not wanting to make a move, I realized that the adults and many soldiers in front of me were exactly the same as before, without any reaction.
He could only retract his hand brightly and apologize in embarrassment.
Raising his hand, Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "You don't have to hold back. We have all blocked our sense of smell, so we can't smell it."
The guard captain was stunned. Is this okay
For a long time, Wen Qingzhu looked inside the city gate and saw the bay red horse coming over: "Brother, your Lord Liu should be here, right?"
"This..." The guard captain was suddenly speechless.
After waiting for a while, a man on horseback came in front of him, knelt down directly and saluted Wen Qingzhu: "See Sir Wen! I am late, please forgive me!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Wen Qingzhu did not reply immediately, but looked at him carefully.
He has a well-proportioned figure, neat manners, and a sense of righteousness all over his body.
After confirming that it was Liu Guang, Wen Qingzhu said, "Get up. Is the person I want ready?"
people
Liu Guang suddenly raised his head and said: "Sir, the previous document, the official was not -"
The impatient Wen Qingzhu interrupted him directly: "Since you are so incompetent! Then I will take over your position on behalf of the emperor!"
"Sir!" Liu Guang was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the dense army behind Wen Qingzhu.
Not the Fu Jiajun, but also the Lu Jiajun!
This shows that Lu Chengen is also on Wen Qingzhu's side!
Wen Qingzhu clamped the horse's belly, took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "You are incompetent, then I will go into the city myself!"
As she set off, the army behind her quickly changed its formation and followed her into the city.
No one dared to stop them.
Liu Guang stood aside, his hands tightly clenched under his sleeves.
Lu Jiajun entered the city, and the people on the streets hurriedly gave way.
Everyone stared at them, watching them slowly arrive in the center of Texas City.
They did not go to the Yamen, but came to the entrance of Baiyun Temple.
When the welcoming monk who was guarding the gate saw the approaching army, he was not only frightened but also terrified.
This is inside the city!
Wen Qingzhu got off his horse and ordered someone to set up Jiuzhu.
When we arrived at the gate of Baiyun Temple, an older monk who greeted guests bravely asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"
He glanced at the army behind Wen Qingzhu and felt that his calves were weak.
Looking up at the plaque of Baiyun Temple, Wen Qingzhu nodded and said, "Well, it's right here."
Correcting his gaze, Wen Qingzhu stepped aside and asked someone to help Jiu Zhu up. He pointed at him and said, "Don't you all know this master?"
During these days in Qingjing Temple and Yunzhou City, Jiu Zhu lost a lot of weight.
Coupled with the rapid march, his face looked like a vegetable, which was really different from before.
So the welcoming monk looked at it for a long time, but he didn't recognize who this monk was.
Fortunately, Jiu Zhu woke up on his own and raised his head: "Qi Lu, it's me, Jiu Zhu."
The welcoming monk was startled, then looked at Wen Qingzhu, swallowing hard.
"What? He revealed his identity, but it scared you?" Wen Qingzhu asked deliberately.
The monk named Qilu quickly lowered his head and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, this is not what I mean, it's just that the abbot is not here today -"
"It's okay. Let's find other elders. I heard that Jiu Zhu was framed for insulting a decent woman last time. I specially arrested him and re-investigated the matter."
As Wen Qingzhu spoke, he was about to walk inside, and the army behind him followed.
The monk at the door was instantly frightened.
Qi Lu quickly calmed down, stopped in front of Wen Qingzhu, and tried to force out a smile: "Do you want to bring these troops in?"
"What do you think?" Wen Qingzhu replied with a smile.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu came with bad intentions, Qilu made a quick decision and apologized quickly: "I'm really sorry. We have already investigated what happened last time and it was not Master Jiu Zhu's fault."
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu folded his arms and began to look around the welcoming monk.
From the moment he called out his name when he first came to live, Wen Qingzhu knew that this person was definitely not a guest monk and must have a certain status in Baiyun Temple.
As for his appearance here, I'm afraid he got the news from the city gate.
Wen Qingzhu, whose eyes were full of scrutiny, stopped behind him, looked at the army in front of him and said, "Since there is nothing to do about Jiu Zhu, let us borrow your Baiyun Temple to recruit some monks."
Qilu, who had been patient, immediately turned his head and was about to refuse, when Wen Qingzhu directly ordered him: "Post the notice!"
Soon the Lu Jiajun dispersed and began to post notices in Dezhou City.
There are two copies in total, one is a notice recruiting monks, and the other is a notice recruiting various workers and tenant farmers.
The desolate Yunzhou must be repopulated.
In less than half a day, many people came after hearing the news. Wen Qingzhu had already prepared and directly contacted the Jia family in Dezhou to help her make arrangements.
The borrowed place is naturally the gate of Baiyun Temple.
In Baiyun Temple, in the Zen room in the back hall.
A short-bearded monk punched the table angrily: "They went too far!"
The bearded monk sitting cross-legged next to him said calmly: "So what, the great immortal is in retreat, and eight of his ten disciples have died. We can't rush, we can only wait."
"Then let them bully us like this! Especially that bitch Jiu Zhu! He actually clung to that woman! Damn it!"
The short-bearded monk became angrier as he thought about it, and punched him again, shattering the table.
Looking at the broken table in front of him, the bearded monk fell into deep thought. His junior brother's skills seemed to have declined.
In the past, it would have been broken with one fist.
Now he used two fists.
In the yamen, Liu Guang was walking around anxiously.
Not long after, a man wearing Taoist robes and a bamboo hat appeared in front of him.
"Master Liu, Master didn't reply."
Hearing what he said, Liu Guang opened his eyes wide and said, "It's extremely urgent right now!"
