173, go and come back
Under the thick white curtains, in front of the coffin.
Chen Ji silently looked at the scattered coins on the ground, and suddenly understood what the real trump card of the Golden Pig was to bet on the official career path. The most cautious person who was afraid of death and the most gambling-minded person chose a practice path that was most suitable for him.
So...does Mr. Feng know that Golden Pig is a way to imprison officials and has a puppet to replace him? He must know that the other party has exposed flaws before
Just a few hours ago, Mr. Feng subconsciously said to him, "As far as I know, you have no friendship with the Golden Pig." This sentence was a flaw.
Previously in Longwang Tun, the Golden Pig came to rescue him day and night. From a normal person's perspective, the Golden Pig must have had an irreversible friendship with him, so he came to rescue him. But Mr. Feng didn't think so.
Only those who know the Golden Pig's spiritual practice will understand that the Golden Pig comes to save people not because of friendship, but to bet on themselves. But why did Mr. Feng lie and say that he planned to return to the Secret Service to seize the Golden Pig's zodiac sign? Bit?
If the essence of lies is to cover up the truth, what exactly is Mr. Feng trying to cover up by lying? Chen Ji's eyes suddenly widened, Mr. Feng wants to cover up his true identity!
At this time, Master Liu ran outside, shouting all the way: "Where is the black guard? Chase that man named Feng back. We must not let the tiger-armored cavalry fall into his hands!"
Several men in black quietly emerged from the alley: "Master Liu, please be patient for a moment, I'll go after him."
In front of the Liu family's mansion, Mr. Liu took some carrier pigeons and gave them to the guards in black. He carefully warned: "You are no match for Feng. We divided our troops into seven groups and went to the Tiger Armor Camp to find General Yang to expose that person." Feng. If General Yang doesn’t believe it, ask him to come to Liu’s mansion and ask the master face to face! If this happens, write a letter immediately and ask Pigeon to bring it back!”
One of the guards in black hesitated and said, "But Mr. Feng... the one named Feng is holding a tiger charm. The Tiger Armor Camp only recognizes the military charms and not the people!" Master Liu said solemnly: "We can only give it a try. Go quickly!"
"!"
The guards in black put the pigeons in their arms, got on their horses and walked into the night.
Master Liu just held the door frame and waited impatiently. Before the time of burning the incense, a pigeon flapped its wings and flew back. Master Liu was startled, and immediately stretched out his hand and let the pigeon land on his wrist. The scholar reminded: "Master Liu, there is blood on the pigeon's feathers."
"It's the blood of the black-clothed guards," Master Liu said with uncertain eyes, "There are people outside who are ambushing the black-clothed guards I sent!" Everyone raised their heads and looked outside the gate. The dark sky was like an abyss that chooses people to eat. It can't be filled no matter what.
Master Liu's face turned pale and he raised his voice: "Close the gate of the house and light the torch in the sentry tower. No one is allowed to open the door without my order!"
Chen Ji and several soldiers pushed the heavy red lacquer door and slowly closed it. The moment the two doors were closed, the Liu family's mansion became a tightly guarded fortress.
Master Liu suddenly turned back and walked towards the ancestral hall: "I'm going to find you!"
Chen Ji and other soldiers followed him through the long alley, and saw Master Liu coming to the door of the ancestral hall, kneeling on his knees: "Master, we have all been deceived by Feng Wenzheng! I said before that the general of the Tiger Armored Cavalry The thing that happened one after another must be the man surnamed Feng who is secretly causing trouble. This man lies a lot and doesn't say a word of truth."
At this moment, Chen Ji and Master Liu felt the same way.
That Mr. Feng seemed like a liar who was both good and evil, chaotic and powerful.
The opponent wandered freely between the blades, making everyone spin around, and Chen Ji couldn't tell which of the other's words was the truth and which was a lie.
Master Liu continued: "Master, it is too late to call back other troops at this time. The most urgent task is to send people to find General Zhou and order him to bring the Elephant Armor Battalion to come for reinforcements...
Mr. Liu Ge in the ancestral hall ignored Master Liu. He just turned his back to everyone, slowly looked up at the mountain-like tablets on the main niche, and sighed: "If Feng Wenzheng really started to lay out this seven years ago, Game, then it's all over...
Master Liu suddenly looked at the back of Mr. Liu Ge, who was sitting on his knees: "Master, we can't sit still and wait for death!
"Of course we can't just sit back and wait for death. That's not honorable." Liu Gelao stood up and smoothed his gray cloth robe: "Beat the drum, burn incense, draw death lots, and sacrifice the flag!"
At Mao hour, the sky was slightly bright, and the color of fish belly appeared in the east.
Deep within the high walls of the Liu family's mansion, heavy drum beating sounded, and the beat became more and more urgent. From the houses in the mansion, clan members of the Liu family clan came after hearing the sound of drums.
Master Liu led the soldiers to push open the doors of the mansion. Hundreds of dead soldiers in black who were stationed outside the mansion filed in through the doors, and finally gathered in a dense crowd in front of the ancestral hall. The open space and laneway in front of the ancestral hall.
No one spoke, only looking solemnly at the ancestral hall. Mr. Liu Ge took out the dead sticks that had been sealed under the tribute case for a long time, and sixteen sticks filled with bamboo sticks.
Liu Gelao wiped a lottery tube with his sleeve and said slowly: "I originally wanted to lead you to a fight, but I didn't expect that someone was plotting against me and it led to a big mistake. I will open the ancestral hall today, and those who win the lottery will join me to face the enemy." , those who are not drawn will leave through the back door. Someone will escort you quietly south and take a boat to Java Island. I have ordered my eldest son to buy property there many years ago, which will be enough for you to live on. Remember, never go back to Ningchao again. .
Everyone thought that Liu Gun's eldest son had been ordained and became a monk at Yuanjue Temple in the capital, but they did not expect that the Liu family had already implemented the trick of Li Daotao and sent him to Java.
As Mr. Liu Ge said, the pursuit of aristocratic families should not be "victory", but "invincibility", so that they can last long.
Master Liu begged: "Master, why don't you leave? That fast ship can carry more than a hundred people! Master, I have established a foothold in Java Island, you can make a comeback there!"
Mr. Liu Ge smiled: "If I don't die, the man in Renshou Palace will not be able to sleep. I stay here to give him an explanation. Drum roll!"
The drumbeats became intensive again, and the cleaned lottery tubes were passed around among the crowd. Everyone silently took out their own lottery. Some people who won the living lottery cried with joy, and some secretly exchanged the living lottery for others; some people drew the dead lottery. There was silence, and some unwilling people burst into tears and fainted.
Mr. Liu Ge stood on the steps of the ancestral hall, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life.
After burning a stick of incense, the person who drew the lot alive left the ancestral hall under the leadership of several guards in black clothes, and did not know where to go. The person who drew the lot for death had his head wrapped in white cloth, and everyone was in plain clothes.
Master Liu suddenly said: "Sir, Prince Jing is still in our house, he must have participated in the plan! He has contributed a lot to the Liu family's disaster!" Mr. Liu Ge was silent for a long time: "Bring him here and use him to sacrifice the flag. !」
Chen Ji's heart sank
Master Liu turned to the dead men in black and said, "Go! Bring the prince, prince, and princess here! Sacrifice the flag!"
Chen Ji watched as more than twenty dead men in black turned and left. He wanted to follow them, but had no reason to follow them. After hesitating for a moment, he finally moved slowly, trying to sneak up on them.
Master Liu turned to look at him: "Where are you going?" Chen Ji said in a low voice: "Master, I want to go to the toilet."
Master Liu suddenly said sternly: "Who are you? Take off your visor!"
However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the sentry tower of the Liu family mansion, interrupting Master Liu's thoughts.
Hundreds of people looked back and saw a meteor flying through the dim sky, piercing through the dead soldiers on the sentry tower. When the meteor went out, the sky dimmed again, as if nothing had happened just now. Pass.
The darkness paused for a moment, and then seemed to pause for a long time. The next moment, meteors suddenly burst out like rain, as brilliant as the Milky Way flowing, piercing through all the dead soldiers on more than a dozen sentry towers!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy iron hoofbeats sounded outside the Liu family's mansion. The sound of iron hoofbeats extended from the northern tomb to the east and west, surrounding this huge mansion that had stood for hundreds of years.
At this time, a dead soldier who had been shot through the abdomen lay on the watchtower and shouted with his last strength: "The Jiefan Guards are coming! The Chitose Army is coming too!" Master Liu roared: "Where are the Tiger Armored Cavalry?"
The dead soldier had made no sound.
The tiger-armored cavalry that was supposed to be blocking the road for defense was taken by Mr. Feng to an unknown location. The Chitose Army and Jiefanwei penetrated the Liu family's defense line and came directly in front of them.
Master Liu said ferociously: "Thousand-year-old army? Prince Jing is indeed involved! Master, just kill Prince Jing on the spot...Wait a minute, where was the soldier just now?"
After being interrupted by Tianma, Master Liu went to check where Chen Ji was just now, but Chen Ji had already disappeared.
At this time, Mr. Liu Ge sighed softly: "Your Majesty, Prince Jing, and the eunuchs have been planning for our Liu family for many years, and we have not lost unjustly. Master, please lead someone to stop it and buy some time for the clansman who won the living lot." .”
Master Liu led his people towards the gate to support him: "Go to the gate quickly and stop them, don't let them rush in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the red-lacquered door of the Liu family's mansion was broken open from the outside. The two doors slowly fell down, kicking up dust on the ground and stirring in the air.
The dead men in black who had just arrived in front of the door stood still. They tried to see the person clearly through the dust, but they could only see a blurry figure slowly emerging in the dust.
After a few breaths, a man in white clothes and a white mask stepped into the threshold. He fanned the dust in front of him with his right hand and looked at the hundreds of dead soldiers crowded in the alley in front of him with a smile: "Oh, so How many people are here?"
The white mask was painted with a light golden dragon pattern using gilt craftsmanship. According to the rules of the Ning Dynasty and Jing Dynasty, anyone who was good at wearing dragon patterns would have their homes confiscated and executed, unless the dragon pattern was personally given to them by the emperor.
Master Liu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "White Dragon?!"
Bai Long took out a token from his sleeve as if there was no one around, and said slowly: "The king's flag is here. Anyone who sees it kneels down and worships, as if I were here in person." Master Liu and the dead soldiers were expressionless and motionless. They had the tokens wrapped around their foreheads. white headband
Bai Longhun didn't care. He stuffed the Wang Ling flag back into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Forget it if you don't want to kneel down. Anyway, everyone here is guilty of death." Master Liu said coldly: "Master Bailong really thinks highly of my Liu family. He actually came in person."
Bai Long laughed loudly: "If you don't come in person, I'm afraid it's a bit unsafe." Master Liu looked ferocious: "My Liu family will not be captured without mercy..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from above everyone's head: "I advise you not to move, otherwise I will kill you first." Master Liu looked up and saw the White Rabbit and Yun Yang on the roof on the left side of the alley. Wearing a black outfit.
Jiaotu sat on the high eaves of the roof, with her legs dangling in the air. Yunyang stood beside her, with her hands folded on her chest. The two of them looked down at the dead soldiers with smiles.
Master Liu was shocked and confused: "You...were you not sent to Lingnan?!"
Jiaotu played with the jade pendant on his collar button and said with a smile: "The climate in Lingnan is hot and humid, and there are many poisonous insects. We didn't want to go there until we were halfway there." There was also a voice from the other side: "Master Liu, if you don't want to die, , obediently put down all the weapons in your hands."
Master Liu turned his head again, and Golden Pig and Mengji stood on the roof on the other side, sandwiching hundreds of dead soldiers in the alley! White Dragon, Pegasus, and Golden Pig.
Chapter completed!
