In the courtyard, several young officials couldn't help their curiosity. They gathered around and talked in low voices about the background of Ningyuan County Jing Mansion, which even Xiao Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, did not dare to look down upon, and reminded everyone to avoid it.
.
It's just that the Jing family has declined greatly in recent years, their titles have been taken away, and there are no descendants of the Jing family in the court or in the army. It can be said that they have disappeared, and they have lost any publicity. In addition, these younger ones
Officials have either been in office for a short time or have been promoted from other provinces to the capital. Therefore, they can't figure out the reason even if they ask each other.
Finally, a young official approached some older officials and asked curiously.
The old officials didn't want to talk about it anymore. They just said that when they meet the Jing family later, they should not offend or provoke them, otherwise they will be left in trouble and even Mr. Xiao won't be able to save them.
Of course, he later said that the Jing family has many enemies in the court, so you should not take the initiative to get close to them.
The Jing family was able to survive despite numerous enemies because they had a sign in their hand.
But if one's own family does not have a huge power, but is very close to the Jing family, then the enemies of the Jing family will not be polite to these people.
It was easy to lose his official position and go home to farm.
If it's serious, it's possible to kill everyone in the family.
The Jing family is now able to protect themselves, but they cannot protect their friends.
After a while, Mrs. Jing, Jiang Long, and Lin Ya appeared at the door of the small courtyard. This small courtyard is not big. The several wing rooms are dilapidated and low, the window paper leaks, and the wooden doors have long since peeled off the paint. They are very simple.
It is the place where Master Guichen lived during his lifetime.
At this time, no grand mourning hall was erected in the small courtyard.
The monks of Jialan Temple, following Master Guichen's instructions before his death, brought a large pile of dry firewood, placed Master Guichen's body on top, and said that after seven days, they would light the body and burn it.
"A hundred years of life are like dew and lightning, or like a dream, nirvana in fire, this stinky skin will return to dust, and dust to dust."
These are the original words of Master Guichen.
In the courtyard, all the foreign envoys were always looking at the direction of the courtyard door after hearing that everyone from the Jing Mansion was coming. At this time, when they saw Mrs. Jing, Jiang Long, and Lin Ya walking in, they all squinted.
Look carefully with your eyes.
"Mrs. Jing."
Xiao Jing didn't walk over, but just held his hands from a distance as a greeting.
Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to the people in Jing Mansion anymore, but he listened to the low-pitched discussions of those young officials and knew that these people didn't know anyone in Jing Mansion, so his original intention was to raise his voice to say hello and call out their names.
Let those officials stay away.
But he didn't want to forget one thing, that is, the foreign envoys in the courtyard were all at odds with the Jing Mansion.
The country where the envoys are located has a sworn feud with the Jing family!
As soon as Jiang Long stepped into the gate of the small courtyard, he was immediately keenly aware of the unkind looks cast by many people in the courtyard.
And there are many of them with strong murderous intent.
Jiang Long was not stupid. He took a look at the clothes of these people, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason.
At that time, countless tribesmen in the border countries died at the hands of their original grandfather and father. Naturally, these people wanted to skin everyone in the Jing Mansion and avenge their blood.
"Grandma, be careful where you step." Jiang Long was worried that these foreigners would rush forward and take action, so he stepped forward and held Mrs. Jing's left forearm.
Secretly, he gently pinched the poison-smeared dagger hidden in his sleeve.
No matter who dares to hurt his family, he will not be polite!
Back then, the Jing family was the residence of the Marquis. The queen and concubines in the harem often summoned Mrs. Jing. Moreover, Marquis Jing wanted to station at the border of southern Xinjiang. Mrs. Jing also traveled long distances to follow him more than once. Mr. Jing had a bad temper.
He frequently hacked and killed foreign soldiers who were caught in rebellion. Sometimes, with an order, hundreds of heads fell to the ground at the same time.
Blood can dye an entire street red.
It is precisely for this reason that Mr. Jing Laohou is called the beheading general!
So what scene has Mrs. Jing not seen before?
Madam Jing naturally noticed the hateful gazes of the foreign envoys, but she just ignored them with indifferent expressions. They were just a bunch of clowns!
At this time, she saw Jiang Long approaching her closely. She was stunned for a moment, and she understood Jiang Long's intention, and a warm wave of heat surged from the bottom of her heart.
She smiled at Jiang Long with relief in her eyes and straightened her back again.
At this time, Lin Ya secretly looked around and noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the courtyard.
However, without showing their faces, the three of them, Mrs. Jing and Jiang Long, went straight to the place where Master Guichen's body was placed.
At this time, a dozen young monks, led by two old monks, were sitting cross-legged in front of the pile of firewood, with their eyes closed and chanting scriptures.
At this time, Delisi who was behind finally came to the entrance of the courtyard. As soon as her figure appeared, she attracted the attention of most people in the courtyard. Her beautiful and sexy appearance and figure, as well as her extreme luxury and nobility.
The costumes and makeup are the most eye-catching.
"Whose family member is this girl from?"
"What a nice view!"
"Exotic beauty."
There was a buzz immediately, and many people pointed in the direction of Delise.
Delis didn't seem to hear it. After scanning the small courtyard with her dark blue eyes, she lowered her eyes again.
The moment he lowered his head, half of his snow-white neck was exposed, and he lowered his voice and said, "I saw a few familiar figures. Nanny, Jiang Long cannot die at this time."
The white-haired old woman drooped her eyelids and said, "Old lady, although I have a few tricks up my sleeve, there are still many experts in the organization. I can only protect you from harm. As for Jiang Long, I can only do my best."
"But……"
"I know what you're thinking, but that's playing with fire and going against the organization. Aren't you afraid of playing with fire**?"
"It's better to die than to live like a marionette being manipulated by others!"
"Oh, that's all."
The white-haired old woman sighed softly, "I'll try my best to keep him alive."
"Thank you, mama."
Arriving in front of Master Guichen's body, Jiang Long, Mrs. Jing, and Lin Ya had just bowed and offered a stick of incense when they saw a tall foreign envoy suddenly stepped forward and shouted: "You are Jing Chengxiong.
That old thief’s woman?”
The voice was as thick as thunder and spread far and wide in an instant.
Jiang Long immediately looked over and saw the opponent's hand pressing the handle of the knife at his waist, and his muscles suddenly tensed.
Be prepared to respond to emergencies immediately.
Lin Ya instinctively took half a step forward and blocked Mrs. Jing's body.
From the corner of her eye, Mrs. Jing saw Lin Ya's frightened face turned pale. She took a step forward and protected Lin Ya behind her.
At the same time, a group of people rushed in at the entrance of the small courtyard.
They are the many guards of Jing Mansion.
"Who dares to be disrespectful to my old lady?" Chen Tai, the captain of the guard, shouted sharply, scanning the courtyard with fierce eyes.
A sonorous sound!
Guan Shihao, who had previously killed the captain of the Imperial Army, had already drawn the long knife from his waist.
A pair of tiger eyes full of murderous intent looked around the courtyard. As long as someone responded, he would rush forward and kill without hesitation.
"stop!"
At this time, Xiao Jing finally realized something was wrong.
These envoys from a foreign country have a deep hatred for the Jing family and are sworn enemies!
How could I have forgotten this?
Xiao Jing regretted greatly at this time. He should have sent away the foreign envoys before everyone in the Jing Mansion arrived.
Although his voice was loud and he had a lot of authority because he had been in a high position for a long time, it was obviously not very effective at this time.
Because the Jingfu guards and foreign envoys are not afraid of him.
Clang, clang, clang!
There was a sound of drawing swords, and the guards standing behind the foreign envoys also drew their swords and confronted the Jingfu guards.
Seeing that there were many people on the other side, all the Jingfu guards naturally drew their sabers.
"Who was disrespectful to my old lady before?" Guan Shihao faced more than a dozen enemies with weapons in their hands without any fear. He licked his lips and shouted, "I want his life!"
The foreign envoy who had shouted earlier obviously did not expect this situation to happen, and the Jing family's guards actually drew their swords directly at him.
He had been in the Daqi Dynasty for more than a day or two. The Daqi officials and people he had come into contact with before were a little afraid when they saw that he was a foreigner.
Even the high-ranking officials in the court treated him with great courtesy.
Therefore, he usually shows off his power.
At this time, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred, and I was a little stunned.
However, this foreigner did not lose his blood. After coming to his senses, he pulled out the exquisitely crafted sword from his waist and said, "If you want to kill me, come here!"
"court death!"
Guan Shihao's eyes were fixed on the opponent's body, and he rushed forward.
Dang Dang!
The two guards of the alien race rushed forward to resist with swords.
Guan Shihao was fighting against two, but he was full of momentum and gained the upper hand instantly. The weapons of the three collided in mid-air, making a loud noise.
"Stop it, stop it all, sir!"
At this time, Xiao Jing waved his hands and became furious.
It was only then that the other officials in the hospital came to their senses.
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
The two sides fought too quickly, so it's not to blame for their slow reaction.
Moreover, the Daqi Dynasty did not promote martial arts except in the army, and prided itself on being a state of etiquette. They civil servants did not expect that the guards of Jingfu were so tough, taking action whenever they were told, and they were full of murderous intent. Not only
Pretend to scare the other person.
He really wants to kill someone!
What is the identity of this Jingfu?
Don't they know that if they kill, no, just injure an envoy from a foreign country, it would be a big deal?
When foreign envoys come to Daqi, they are not just individuals, but they represent a country.
If something happens to an ambassador in Daqi, the country where the envoy is located will definitely demand an explanation.
Then it will become a major diplomatic matter!
When it comes to this kind of thing, the court's general approach is to deal with its own people and compensate them with money in order to appease the other party's anger.
After a while, the young officials at the scene resumed their thinking and snorted secretly, everyone in the Jing family really didn't know how to live or die.
But those veterans were all sweating profusely and as anxious as Jing Jing.
If something happens to an envoy from a foreign country, it is indeed a big deal, and the court will definitely deal with a group of people to quell the anger of the country where the envoy is located.
But the people being dealt with will not be the Jing family.
