Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 39

Gu Fang just followed Zhang Pu to the Qianyuan Hall, and before he could enter, he saw Lian Zong come out in a hurry.Behind him, Lian Heng also had an anxious face.

Seeing this, Gu Fang didn't dare to delay, and hurried up to meet him.

Lian Zong supported Gu Fang who was almost unsteady because he came over in a hurry, and then gave Zhang Pu a few words, then took Gu Fang's hand and walked outside.

Lian Heng followed them closely.

Seeing that Lian Zong and Lian Heng were in such a hurry, Gu Fang didn't rush to ask. He just took a look at Lian Heng while he was on his way, and found that His Royal Highness Qinyang Wang, who wanted to pay attention to his appearance, had mud spots and water on his clothes. stains.

Gu Fang thought for a while, thinking that Lian Heng was recently dispatched by Lian Zong to take over Mingxin Lake and Qingcheng Temple. The water stains and mud spots on his clothes should have been stained in Mingxin Lake.

And the matter that made Lian Zong and Lian Heng so anxious should also have something to do with Mingxin Lake.

Sure enough, on the way they rode to Mingxin Lake, in order to hurry, Gu Fang and the others did not take the carriage after leaving the palace, but directly rode on the horse prepared by the imperial army, and Lian Zong briefly told Gu Fang What happened at Mingxin Lake.

It turned out that after the owner of Qingcheng Temple was wounded and unconscious by Emperor Kaiyuan, Prince Jin, and Prince Yan, he was captured and taken away by the hidden guards who had already ambushed in Qingcheng Temple. Naturally, Qingcheng Temple was taken over by the forbidden army.

After searching Qingcheng Temple, they found the imprisoned girls in it.

After questioning the girls and the people left behind in the Qingcheng Temple, Lian Heng and Li Mingde basically determined where the innocent girls were dumped.Following the direction of the water flow, the experts invited by Lian Heng determined where the bodies of the girls would drift.

Since it is still cold winter, Lian Heng and the others have no way to pick up those corpses from Mingxin Lake at this time, but out of compassion, Lian Heng invited many Taoist priests and monks to Mingxin Lake to perform rituals.

Everything went smoothly up to here, but what happened next shocked Lian Heng, the imperial army, and all the onlookers.

"Suddenly many female corpses floated up beside Mingxin Lake, and all of those female corpses still maintained the appearance when they died, their eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide open, and their bodies were swollen." When Lian Zong said this, he himself It didn't matter, Lian Heng bared his teeth and yelled at the side.

Lian Zong glared at him before continuing to Gu Fang: "The most important thing now is that as soon as they appeared, the Taoist priests and monks who were invited all became dizzy and nauseated."

"Now the people gathered in the whole Mingxin Lake are discussing and talking about everything." Lian Heng continued after Lian Zong finished speaking.

"So what do you want me to do?" Gu Fang asked with difficulty in the cold wind.

"Comfort the hearts of the people." Lian Zong's voice was a little unclear in the wind, but Gu Fang could still hear the anxiety in it.

"I also suspect that there is something wrong with those female corpses." Lian Zong said after a while.

Although he couldn't explain it clearly, Gu Fang understood it without thinking about it. If His Majesty the Emperor couldn't deal with it, it probably had something to do with ghosts and gods if he, the national teacher, was needed.

Thinking of this, Gu Fang suddenly felt that the cold wind blowing on his body not only made him feel cold, but also had an inexplicable sense of treachery in it.

Gu Fang couldn't help worrying, if his conjecture was true, would he really be able to cope with so many lonely ghosts?

He was so worried all the way.

When they arrived at Mingxin Lake, Lian Heng led Gu Fang and Lian Zong non-stop to the place where the Taoist monks practiced rituals - that was the nearest place to Li Nu's corpse.

On the way, Lian Zong noticed that there was something wrong with Gu Fang's expression, so he hurriedly asked Gu Fang.

Gu Fang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.In the end, he had no choice but to shake his head at His Majesty the Emperor, signaling that he was fine.

Li Mingde, who stayed at Mingxin Lake to maintain order, felt a lot more at ease when he saw King Qinyang arriving with His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Teacher.

The leader who has always been able to speak clearly made it clear to Lian Zong that they tried to salvage the female body but failed after Lian Heng left.

Lian Zong stopped his capable general from continuing to speak, and then took the lead to the lake.

Gu Fang and Lian Heng naturally followed behind him.

Gu Fang walked carefully by the slippery lake, and then he was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

Even though he had described the situation in Mingxin Lake to him on the way here, Gu Fang was still shocked when he saw as many as twenty female corpses floating on the water.

In addition to what Lian Zong said, Gu Fang also found that the female corpses had deep resentment, as if they were possessed by resentment, but after careful inspection, he did not find any trace of resentment.

Seeing this, Gu Fang looked at Lian Zong with some doubts, but he saw that Lian Zong was as puzzled as he was.

Lian Zong patted Gu Fang's hand, and then said to Li Mingde, "Why can't you pick it up?"

Li Mingde didn't dare to delay, he immediately called one of his guards and asked him to demonstrate.

I saw that the forbidden soldier had just reached out to the female corpses with something that looked like a fishing rod, but was blocked by something, and he couldn't touch the floating female corpses at all.

At the same time, Gu Fang also noticed that the forbidden soldiers who were sailing in the lake to salvage also had no way to get their boats close to those female corpses.

Lian Zong also saw those grievances and the fact that the imperial guards couldn't get close to the female corpse. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Your Majesty." Gu Fang looked at the female corpse, and then at the increasing number of people by the lake, and called out to Lian Zong who was immersed in his own thoughts.

Lian Zong was suddenly called out by him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also saw the crowd of common people.

He didn't immediately send the imperial army to expel the people. When the woman's corpse appeared at first, some people had already seen it, so there was no need to hide it. Secondly, it's better not to block it. Originally, the people were arguing about the sudden closure of the Qingcheng Temple, but now There was also the matter of the female corpse, if Lian Zong was expelled rashly, it would be easy to get a bad reputation.

"Let's go." There was a smile on Lian Zong's mouth, he took two steps towards the place where the crowd gathered on the bank, then turned around and extended his hand to Gu Fang.

This is the time when he needs to contribute.

Gu Fang smiled comprehensibly, he stretched out his hand to hold Lian Zong's broad palm, and then with the strength of Lian Zong's hand, kicked his feet and jumped directly to the side of His Majesty the Emperor.

"I will do my best." Gu Fang stood proudly.

Together they walked up to the chattering crowd.Lian Zong didn't reveal his identity, he took a step back and got behind Gu Fang, pretending to be respectful.

Gu Fang obviously didn't expect Lian Zong to act like this.But at the moment, it's not easy for him to show it, so he just looked at the restless people with a cold face, without saying a word.

Soon someone noticed this indifferent young man with an extraordinary bearing.Seeing Gu Fang standing so close to them, they couldn't help shouting to Gu Fang: "What's going on!"

The name of the person who said this was Zhang Da, and the ancestors of his family lived near Mingxin Lake.On weekdays, he often goes to Qingcheng to watch and burn incense and pray.This time Qingcheng Temple was suddenly closed down, Zhang Da was puzzled, but also a little bit upset.

This time, after the Qingcheng Temple was seized by the imperial court, there was a female corpse in Mingxin Lake again. Zhang Da couldn't help thinking, would there be demons and ghosts coming out of Mingxin Lake without the suppression of Qingcheng Temple?

In fact, there are quite a few people who have the same thoughts as him, but many of them are afraid of the majesty of the Imperial Guards, so they dare not ask questions and can only discuss in private.

But Zhang Da is not afraid of these.He has always claimed to be an open-minded man, and if he has any questions, he will ask, will the court still let him go to prison?

Gu Fang looked at the tall and thick man with an unruly face, and said flatly: "I am the master of Dayao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately exploded.

On the day of the previous sacrifice, everyone saw the golden dragon that appeared on the National Teacher Tower.From then on, they all believed that the new national teacher was really capable and capable.

Now that the national teacher came here in person, it can be seen that something really happened in Mingxin Lake.It's just that I don't know what kind of big event it is, and it needs the national teacher to do it in person.

Some people in the crowd were curious, and some took the opportunity to look at the national teacher a few more times.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is a good conversation piece to talk to your family and neighbors when you go back.

Gu Fang turned a blind eye to that part of the curious looking eyes, and he said to the rest of the people expressionlessly: "I watched the sky last night, and I know that there must be a vision in Mingxin Lake today. At this time, it is related to Guozuo, and the idlers can't explore more .”

After saying these words, Gu Fang observed the suspicious expressions of the common people, and added another strong medicine, he said: "God enlightened, Qingcheng Temple has evil intentions, so don't get involved in it."

It was still the big mouth that spoke quickly: "Is the national teacher the instruction that the priest got on the day of the sacrifice?"

Gu Fang didn't answer, but made an inscrutable expression.But this made the people believe it.

Lian Zong secretly laughed behind Gu Fang.

He really didn't know that His Excellency the National Teacher still had the ability to bring two unrelated things together without any doubt.

Gu Fang's eyes and ears are clear now, so he naturally heard Lian Zong's uncontrollable smile, so his expression became colder and colder.

The onlookers thought it was the national teacher who was angry that they didn't trust him, so they all left one after another.

Lian Zong looked at the gradually diverging crowd, hooked Gu Fang's hand behind his back secretly, and then put his whole body on it before Gu Fang could react, saying: "Did God tell Guo Shizhen what to do in the future?" Who will be the queen?"

Lian Zong's words were full of ridicule, how could Gu Fang not hear it.He sneered, then bent his elbow, and hit His Majesty's soft abdomen hard.

When Lian Zong was in pain, Gu Fang slipped away from Lian Zong's embrace and went to Lian Heng's place.

Lian Zong just held his stomach and smiled wryly.

His lover's force value is getting higher and higher, and he can't stand it.
