Don't be clouded

Chapter 79 Fighting

In the Zhaohui Building of Xuanqing Temple, Wan Liangao's lieutenants seemed to be patrolling the territory, pacing and looking at the interior decoration.

Guan Chen sat in the hall as the abbot, sipping tea leisurely.

It wasn't until the lieutenant had admired enough and stopped that he put down the teacup and said, "General Zhou, the tea is getting cold."

Zhou Pu was wearing heavy armor, but he could move freely. His face was as intimidating as his strong physique, with a fierce look.

After hearing Guan Chen's voice, he looked over kindly, "Could you make another pot of tea when it's cold?"

Guanchen replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Xuanqing Temple is poor, and has always been frugal. I hope that General Zhou will follow the Romans when he goes to the countryside."

This time Zhou Pu came aggressively and led two hundred elite soldiers straight into Xuanqing Temple.

You Wei wanted to stop them, but unexpectedly these people claimed that they came by the emperor's order, so they could only let them go.Apart from the Right Guard and the Habayashi Army, Xuanqing Temple has never had another army with a sword break into it, this time it really broke the precedent.

Relying on the emperor's order, these people stepped into the Xuanqing Temple loudly, and looked at it vigorously without any shyness, like a rich landowner who was about to occupy the land came to inspect his property.

When Guan Chen arrived, Zhou Pu had already brought people to Zhaohui Tower, and finally he only invited Zhou Pu into the building, and the rest of the soldiers were waiting outside.

"Do as the Romans do?" Zhou Pu laughed loudly, "It is already the Yuanhui Year, why is Xuanqing Temple still following the customs of the old Taicheng Year?"

This is extremely provocative.

Guan Chen finally determined the purpose of this person's visit, and Wan Liangao really coveted the Xuanqing Temple and what the Xuanqing Temple symbolized.The secret treasure hidden here by the first emperor has frightened the court for many years, and finally attracted the coveted.

"Xuanqing Temple was supported by the late emperor in the early years, and now it has received the grace of the current emperor. The two majesties have inherited the lineage. How can we abandon the old customs and follow the new customs?" He retorted back lightly, "The guardians of Xuanqing Temple have always The customs of Daliang."

After all, Zhou Pu was a general with a bad temper, so he became angry when he couldn't say it, and felt disgusting when he saw that face, and just wanted to smash him into the ground with his fist.It's a pity that he has a mission today, so it's inconvenient to have a conflict at this time.

He snorted coldly, "Do you know what the general came here for today?"

The monk replied calmly, "If General Zhou doesn't say anything, how will the poor monk know?"

"The abbot of the dignified Xuanqing Temple can't even guess this?" Zhou Pu looked contemptuously, "Or is it that Master Guanchen is too young and not as capable as Zen Master Jueming?"

Such provocative words are meaningless to Guan Chen, they sound childish.

It was useless for Zhou Pu to provoke him, he would not get angry in public, and let the two hundred elite soldiers outside the door take advantage of it.Guan Chen just thought silently, since Zhou Pu had already arrived, Wan Liangao must have also arrived in Chenjing, maybe he had already entered the palace.

Although the emperor conferred the title of Wan Liangao this time, although he wanted to stabilize this person and take a tactic to slow down the army, there was a risk of breeding tigers.

The fault was that Emperor Yuan Hui was too cowardly and fearful, fearing that his throne, which had not yet been seated, would be taken away.Therefore, he acted too hastily and directly made Wan Liangao the Duke of Xiangguo, fearing that if the late emperor found out, he would get up from the mausoleum and scold his son.

What's more, Emperor Yuan Hui believed that the prime minister was at odds with him, that he was at odds with each other, he was too suspicious and guessed the wrong enemy, which led to his over-reliance on Wan Liangao.But Emperor Yuanhui himself knew that Wan Liangao was too powerful, so he didn't go to the prime minister if he wanted to restrain him, but tried to cultivate Ji Bieyun, a candidate who was not easy to control.

After the failure, he was afraid that Wan Liangao would be angry, and in turn added a seal of comfort.

After all, Guan Chen was acquainted with the late emperor, and he taught the scriptures to the old man many times, so he naturally knew the emperor's temperament when he was in and out of the palace.Although the late emperor was also very suspicious, he was able to rule the world and control all forces in his hands. His imperial prestige was profound, and he had never been truly threatened by any of his officials for more than twenty years.

Looking at the actions of the late emperors and what they are doing today, I have to lament that the sun is unworthy.

Wan Liangao finally began to show his wolfish ambition today.

Emperor Yuanhui was in danger, and he didn't know if the prime minister who had been left alone by the former emperor would help.

Guan Chen thought a lot in an instant, and then answered: "The poor monk is indeed young, and he doesn't think carefully everywhere. I hope General Zhou will tell you clearly."

Zhou Pu dusted off the non-existent ashes on his body, looking aggressive, "Your Majesty is sick, and will move to Xuanqing Temple to recuperate in the near future. Duke Xiang knew about it, and ordered me to come and let you know. I hope that Xuanqing Temple will do it soon." Get ready."

The seal decree just came out in the morning, and now "Duke Xiangguo" is talking about it.

Sure enough, he gained power, and there was no news from the palace, so he could freely say that the emperor was ill.Naturally, Guan Chen didn't think it was the truth, it was just a story Wan Liangao made up to make up the emperor.If Emperor Yuanhui really came to Xuanqing Temple in a few days, the palace would be completely empty...

He didn't nod, and asked first: "Didn't General Zhou say he brought the emperor's order? Where is the order?"

Zhou Pu's body was empty, and it didn't look like he was hiding something in his arms.After being asked such a question, he really couldn't come up with anything, "There is no imperial decree, but this was said when the Duke and the Holy Majesty discussed it together, don't you dare to deny it?"

That being the case, the situation is now clearer, so Guan Chen took back some of his previous worries.

Wan Liangao sent people to come, but could not come up with an imperial decree. It seemed that he was in a stalemate with the emperor in the palace.Ready to move, but when the time didn't come, he could only come to Xuanqing Temple to show off his prestige first.

He stood up, held the string of Buddhist beads, and replied calmly: "If His Majesty comes in person, Xuanqing Temple will naturally welcome him with a grand ceremony, thank you General Zhou for sending the message."

Zhou Pu snorted, "You monks just pretend to be stupid, let me tell you the truth, General, I came to your Xuanqing Temple today not just to talk."

"Listen carefully." The monk seemed to be unable to hear the threat, and remained as calm as water.

Zhou Pu turned around, looked around through the door and finally found the building, raised his hand and pointed, "Treasure Pavilion, I'm here today to scout the way for the Duke, go in and see if there are any buildings in the Treasure Pavilion. There is no agency, so as not to accidentally injure the Duke when he comes here in the future."

Guanchen let out a clear "ah", looked at the Zangbao Pavilion in the distance, and suddenly smiled after a while.

"After the Baoge was built, only the Ming family went in, but the poor monk remembers that the general's surname is Zhou? Why don't General Zhou go back to Chenjing first, go to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion to change his name, and then ask the poor monk again."

Zhou Pu took off the saber from his waist and pointed it at Guanchen, "How dare you tease me, an abbot of a ruined temple?"

"Xuanqing Temple is indeed dilapidated, it's not worth mentioning, but there is still an inscription written by the Great Liang Taizu outside the mountain gate." Guan Chen folded his hands together, but did not bow his head, "General Zhou, as a courtier of Daliang, don't forget the country name .”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Pu seemed to be held in mid-air, in a dilemma.If you don't make a move, you won't be able to hold your face. If you make a move, it won't look good in a real fight.

During the stalemate, behind a screen in the corner, Ji Bieyun, who had listened to the wall for a long time, turned his wrist impatiently.

He turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure this man didn't hit you?"

Zhuo Anping nodded behind him, "I really don't have him, the person who beat me is outside."

Fang Muzhi peeked at the gap in the screen for a while, looked away, turned his head and said, "What if this person really wants to go to the Treasure Pavilion? Xuanqing Temple can't mess up?"

"Isn't there a right guard outside?" Ji Bieyun replied, "Guan Chen has arranged in advance, and these people will not be allowed to enter the Treasure Pavilion."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Pu turned around and walked out, saying bold words: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you monks, even if you don't open the door of the Treasure Pavilion for me today, I have to break it open!"

Ji Bieyun suddenly became anxious, taking advantage of Zhou Pu's turning around and out of sight of him, poked his head out from the side of the screen and looked at Guanchen.

The monk noticed him immediately, and felt a little helpless after seeing the anxiety on his face, and mouthed: "Don't expose."

After getting permission, Ji Bieyun quickly turned around, quickly grabbed Zhuo Anping's collar, and ignored the little bastard who was still indulging in watching the excitement, slipped up and flipped out from the window next to him.

Before leaving, he lowered his voice and said to the shocked Fang Muzhi: "Borrow it, and you will take care of the child later."

After the two fell into the woods next to Zhaohui Building, he let go of his hands, and he briefly explained: "Do as I teach you later, don't panic."

Zhuo Anping was already in a panic at this moment, "What are you doing, General?"

"Of course I took advantage of the chaos to beat him back." Ji Bieyun glanced at the other party, "You don't want to?"

The bear boy struggled for a moment, then nodded, "Think, general, can you teach me how to fight?"

Ji Bieyun smiled, and led the people through the dense forest to the dark place on the other side of the square.

"Today I will teach you actual combat."

Zhou Pu led two hundred elite soldiers and headed straight for Zangbao Pavilion, but before they walked out of the wide square in front of Zhaohui Building, they saw many right guard soldiers running towards here.

Before leaving, Duke Xiangguo asked him to come to Xuanqing Temple to help spread the message. It would be even better if he could enter the Treasure Pavilion, so as to add an extra deterrent to the emperor.Although it was not a death order, Zhou Pu was eager to show himself in front of the Duke, and hoped that if Daliang changed his surname in the future, he would also be able to earn the title of Duke and Marquis.

These right-backs are tricky, however.

As the heads of the twelve guards, these people have always been difficult to deal with, not to mention there is a virtuous prince behind them.Even though he was just a general in name and not in charge of affairs, he gave You Wei a lot of support just by virtue of his name.

Ji Bieyun hid behind the shadow of the trees, watching the imminent situation not far away, "Do you think they can fight?"

After hearing the words, Zhuo Anping looked at it carefully for a while, and then replied: "Is it the left guard or the right guard who came to stop General Zhou?"

He was very angry again.

This brat really came to Chenjing to mix his qualifications. He either watched the excitement or was lazy every day, and he didn't know when he would be more reliable.

Ji Bieyun reassured himself, stopped asking, and said directly: "After the fight starts later, if you see that person, you should rush forward. Don't be afraid of being accidentally injured by a sword. I'll protect you here. Wearing armor and you don’t have a weapon, just hit him in the face, if you can’t hit his eyes. Run when you’re relieved, don’t get caught, understand?”

It would be a lie to say that Zhuo Anping was out of breath, but he had no strength to fight back when he was alone, so he could only swallow his anger.If Ji Bieyun was there to take care of him, he would still have the guts to punch and kick.

He gritted his teeth and nodded as if he was dead.Therefore, I didn't notice that Ji Bieyun's sneak attack was not like a general's style at all. Although it was easy to use, it was a bit rascal.

Satisfied, Ji Bieyun turned his head and looked at the square. The two groups of people were still at the stage of verbal confrontation, and no one made a move.But Zhou Pu was clearly out of temper, and seemed to want to force his way into the Treasure Pavilion.

Impatient with waiting, he kicked lightly, kicked the stone at his feet into the air and caught it with his hands, then aimed at Zhou Pu's arm and hit it out.

General Zhou caught a glimpse of something flying towards him out of the corner of his eye. Immediately after the pain in his right hand, he quickly drew his saber and shouted at the opposite right guard, "Whose hidden weapon!"

As soon as the words fell, another hidden weapon flew in and hit the side of his face, leaving a deep red mark.

So they fought.

Seeing that he had been hit, Ji Bieyun finally let out a breath of anger, who made this reckless man spout nonsense in front of Guan Chen just now.

Immediately, he gave Zhuo Anping a hard push on the back, "You can't come back if you don't punch three times!"

In fact, Xiaoyun spoiled his younger sister like this when he was a child.
