At Yong'an Temple, Hokusai offered incense and was about to leave. He saw Master Jinghai standing at the door.
"Amitabha, Hokusai's benefactor, the young monk was entrusted by someone to invite Master Hokusai to have a cup of tea."
Hokusai was slightly confused.
"I wonder who the master is talking about?"
"Amitabha, Hokusai's benefactor, come with me." Jinghai took Hokusai to a side yard and said after serving a cup of tea.
"Donor, please have some tea. I am a pilgrim who appreciates the benefactor's paintings. Please wait for a while."
Hokusai actually didn't want to see the other party, but she respected Master Jinghai very much. Since the other party spoke in person, she still had to give him some face, so she sat down and waited.
But after waiting and waiting, the so-called pilgrim never arrived. Hokusai was a little impatient and wanted to leave right away. But he was afraid of offending Master Jinghai. He wanted to ask, but he didn't see anyone.
The whole courtyard was quiet, which made Hokusai feel a little anxious. After another cup of tea, she felt more and more uneasy. She decided to get up and leave, and at worst, she would sue Master Jinghai later.
Who would have thought that as soon as he walked to the door, he saw two people walking in. The key is that the two people were wearing Jin Yiwei's flying fish uniforms. Hokusai was shocked and hurriedly wanted to go around.
But the two of them happened to be blocking the door, obviously coming for her.
Lu Xiao turned his head and said to Ling Yunkai.
"Stay at the door."
It's an adult, and Ling Yunkai is a little excited. The adult is taking him to meet his lover. He obviously regards himself as one of his own. This door must be guarded. Don't say anything to disturb the adult's interest.
And I didn’t expect that adults would like this tune and have a tryst in the temple. It’s exciting to think about it, so I have to like going to the priest’s square. It turns out that there are people who have more fun, and Ling Yunkai feels that he is too vulgar. He is not at the same level as adults.
of.
Lu Xiao didn't know that Ling Yunkai had filled up so many plots in his mind. He gently raised his hand to signal Beizhai to go back. Beizhai looked around helplessly and found that the entire temple was silent and there seemed to be no one else at all. In desperation, he just
I returned to the room and sat down at the table.
Lu Xiao followed Beizhai and sat at the table. He reached out to pick up the almost cold tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"The pilgrim that Master Jinghai is talking about is you, a Jin Yiwei? When did Yong'an Temple become Jin Yiwei's spy?"
"You have wronged Jinghai. He is the abbot and has to be responsible for this temple. I took a small advantage from him. It's not a big deal, it's like the whole temple was sent to prison. So in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he
I had no choice but to do my eyeliner once."
"I don't blame Master Jinghai. I just don't know what I did to deserve Master Qianhu of Jin Yiwei to come out and catch me personally."
"Catch you, Miss Hokusai was joking. If I had come to arrest you, this place would have been surrounded by Jin Yiwei. I only came with two people, not to arrest you, just to see you."
"My lord is a royal guard. Instead of arresting those rebellious officials and rebels against the party, you came to see me?"
"Haha, rebellious ministers rebel against the party. What is rebellious ministers and rebel against the party? They mix Donglin Party poems in calligraphy and painting, and they also openly and secretly mock Eunuch Wei. Do you think this is considered rebelling against the party?"
Beizhai's face turned pale. Of course she knew that Lu Xiao was talking about her. She just didn't know what Qianhu, a member of Jinyiwei, meant when he found a handle on her but didn't take her down. What if she wanted to take him down?
people...
Lu Xiao knew by looking at her expression that she was thinking wrong.
"Miss Hokusai, don't think too much. I have no ill intentions towards you. I'm just curious about some things. I have read what Miss Hokusai said before. There is a special fragrance in the painting."
This painting made Hokusai's heart suddenly lift.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. What's important is that after checking in many ways, I finally confirmed one thing. The ink used by Miss Hokusai is not ordinary. Can you tell me who gave it to you?"
This time, Hokusai was really panicked. She even pulled out a dagger from her arms and stabbed herself in the heart. She wanted to protect that person, the person who saved her life. So, she could die
, but Jin Yiwei must not let Jin Yiwei catch that person.
But in front of Lu Xiao, her skills were really far behind. Although Lu Xiao had fewer opportunities to take action personally in recent years, his kung fu had not slowed down in the slightest.
And over the years, with the advantage of his identity, he has collected a lot of kung fu secrets in this world. Although he has not found anything on the level of internal kung fu secrets, there is no doubt that there are many practical kung fu in this world.
Lu Xiao has been practicing diligently in the past few years. At his current level, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian combined can't take more than five moves under his hands.
He easily took the dagger from Beizhai's hand. Lu Xiao casually left the dagger on the table.
"Don't think too much. I have no intention of dealing with that person. In fact, I came here this time just to convey a few words through Miss Hokusai."
"You are a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, so you don't have to go through me to send messages. You are so sneaky, what kind of Jinyiwei are you?"
"sneaking?"
"No, you may have misunderstood. This is not sneaky, it's just that there are some things that are not convenient to say publicly. The Jinyiwei are the emperor's people. We don't care about the battles in the court. Whoever is the emperor, we will be loyal to. Your Majesty is still alive.
Then we are His Majesty’s sword.”
"Your Majesty's sword, I think yours is more like Wei Zhongxian's sword."
"Haha, you can say that." Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao admitted that he was Wei Zhongxian's person.
"I know what you mean, eunuch? I am, the nephew outside is Wei Zhongxian, a purer eunuch than me. Is there any problem?"
"What's the problem? The eunuchs persecuted loyal people, oppressed the people, imposed excessive taxes, and made the people of this world miserable. You still have the nerve to say that you are an eunuch!" Beizhai said in a righteous and stern tone. But Lu Xiao just smiled with some disdain.
"So, in your hearts, it's all our eunuch's fault that the world is like this. If I remember correctly, Wei Zhongxian has only been in power for eight years. The world is rotten. It's terrible that there have been more than one eight years.
Bar."
Beizhai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Xiao to refute him from this angle.
"My father died at the hands of eunuchs like you, and you are still here making excuses."
"I have never quibbled about the things Jin Yiwei did. I also admit that many fairly good officials died in our hands. But is that our fault? I said before, Jin Yiwei is a knife. A knife is not
It will hurt itself unless someone holds it."
"That's not the same thing. You are all Wei Zhongxian's sword."
"Haha, Wei Zhongxian is the handle of the knife at best. You have to see clearly, who is really holding the knife?"
