The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

"Does the lady need to get rid of him?"

"No, no matter how you say it, he is still Xianggong's eldest disciple, and this matter must be handled by Xianggong."

After Jin Chanwen finished speaking, she handed the tray in Ying'er's hand, and she turned around and re-entered Yang Heng's study.

Yang Heng had just finished approving a document and was stretching himself. He was a little surprised to see the golden cicada pattern go back and forth.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

That Jin Chanwen pretended to be very anxious, came to Yang Heng's side in small steps, and said softly: "Master, just now a servant girl accidentally saw a woman in Shouming's room."

Yang Heng was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head with a smile and said, "What am I supposed to be doing, maybe it's because Shouming is looking for a good friend, and he's not too young, so let's not ask about it."

But Jin Chanwen said anxiously: "But the woman who came was wearing night clothes, and she jumped in from the courtyard wall, and sneaked into Shouming's room through the window."

After listening to Changren's words, Yang Heng stood up abruptly, and then fixed his eyes on Jin Chanwen.

"What you said is true, don't lie to me, you have to know that this matter is not a trivial matter."

"How dare I lie to you about such a big matter, Xianggong. If you don't believe me, I can go and have a look now. The woman is still in his room."

Now Yang Heng completely believed in Jin Chanwen's words, he sat back on his seat, thought for a while, and then said: "My heart is for the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch!"

After finishing this poem, Yang Heng stood up and said fiercely to the golden cicadas: "Send your people to guard Shouming and watch him closely. From now on, you must record every move you make clearly. , ready for me to check at any time."

Jin Chanwen nodded, and then asked: "Then don't you care about today's affairs? In my opinion, it's better to get rid of this Shouming as soon as possible, so as to save night and dream."

Yang Heng shook his head, sighed and said: "After all, I am the national teacher of the imperial court, and Shouming is also the grandson of the five emperors. In addition, we still have a mentor-student friendship. Before he did anything that would endanger me, I would How can you touch him?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Heng waved his hands weakly, looking so helpless.

Chapter 561

After Henan completely calmed down, Yang Heng called the generals to discuss the next battle.

Liu Yue, who had completely surrendered to Yang Heng, naturally spoke positively.

"My lord, Henan is our foundation now, and we can't abandon it once. Therefore, we should send a general to guard Henan, so that we can go out with peace of mind."

His words were unanimously approved by the generals.

The reason is also very simple. In the past, they were just marginal generals in the imperial court, but now it is different. They are all Yang Heng's confidantes and generals.

But now Yang Heng has firmly controlled the whole of Henan in his own hands.

And as Yang Heng's confidantes, these people have naturally gained a lot of benefits, not to mention the house, but the fields, and each of them now owns tens of thousands of acres.

Coupled with the fact that various rich merchants in the city manage their business up and down for their convenience, the profits are completely unimaginable to these people before.

Because of this, they don't want to lose the foundation of Henan, because as long as Henan is still in Yang Hengde's hands, they can continue to live such a rich life, and even their wives and children can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Yang Heng was very satisfied with the attitude of the generals. These people are now tied to a chariot with him.

"General Liu is right, so do you think there are people in Henan?"

This time, the people below stopped talking, because if they want to sit in Henan, they must be Yang Hengde's absolute confidant.

Seeing the silence of the people below, Yang Heng smiled and said, "Don't have any scruples, everyone can speak freely."

At this time, Shou Ming, who was standing in the crowd, winked at Shou Jie, who was next to him, which meant to let him come out quickly and say a few words to himself.

But at this time, the guards kept their eyes on their noses, their noses on their mouths, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Shouming is so angry, good Shouming, you have accepted such a heavy gift from me, and now you are silent, aren't you cheating me?

But in this case, he couldn't blatantly blame Shoujie, and in the end he could only look at other people.

This person is none other than Shouchang, Yang Heng's youngest disciple.

If you want to say who has the best relationship between Shou Ming and these disciples, then the first one is Shou Jie, and the second is this Shou Chang.

When Shouchang saw Shouming pass his gaze, he also rolled his eyes, and finally thought that his father is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and now the whole family's wealth and life are under the hands of the emperor. In the end, he could only feel helpless He stood up and bowed his hands to Yang Heng who was sitting above.

"Marshal, the final general recommends Shouming to be the left-behind in Kaifeng."

After hearing this, Yang Heng smiled slightly and asked, "Do you have any explanation?"

"Back to Commander, Eldest Senior Brother is honest, mature and prudent, he is a good candidate to stay behind."

Yang Heng nodded noncommittally, "This is also a theory."

At this time, another person stood up from below, and this person was none other than Han Ming.

"The commander-in-chief recommends Wang Rui at the end."

After hearing this, Yang Heng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Wang Rui trained those recruits during this period, and his ability is obvious to all. So I still think Wang Rui's ability is better."

After finishing speaking, ignoring the awkward Shouming next to him, he came over from the table next to him with a sword, put his hands over his head, and said to Wang Rui below: "Now the commander-in-chief appoints Wang Rui as the left-behind guard. The power is controlled by him alone, and if there is any violation, it will be executed first and then acted upon."

Then Wang Rui stepped forward quickly, kowtowed to Yang Heng, then took the sword with both hands, held it in his arms, and retreated to the class.

Then Yang Heng stopped mentioning this matter, but brought the topic to the expedition.

"This time, the commander-in-chief was ordered by the imperial court to go east to Shandong to conquer the White Lotus Sect. This matter should not be underestimated. Therefore, the commander-in-chief appointed Han Ming as the vanguard, Liu Yue as the follow-up, and the other generals followed the commander-in-chief as the central army. Let's go now."

As soon as Yang Heng's order was conveyed, all the generals below hurriedly clasped their hands together, "The last general waits, and I will obey the commander's order."

"Okay, go back now and prepare to go to war three days later."

After Yang Heng said this, he waved his hand to dismantle the account.

All the generals cupped their hands and bowed out of the White Tiger Festival Hall.

After they quit, these people left in small groups with their friends.

At this time, Shou Ming took a step forward and grabbed Shou Jie's hand, and asked, "What's the matter with you? Why didn't you speak to me in front of the master just now?"

Shoujie threw away Shouming at once, and then said angrily: "I don't know if you are stupid or something, can't you see it? Master doesn't want you to be left behind at all."

After hearing this, Shouming was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Impossible, I followed the master early, and I was loyal all the way. The master regards me as a confidant, so it is natural for me to take care of the matter of staying behind. How could the master not believe me?"

Shoujie looked at Shouming meaningfully, and then said: "You don't even look at your current status, how can the master give Henan to you with complete confidence."

After saying this, Shou Jie shook off Shou Ming and left alone.

And Shou Ming was a little silly standing there alone, but fortunately Shou Chang who was next to him came over and patted him.

"Eldest brother, don't listen to the nonsense of the second child. If the master doesn't believe you, how can he appoint you as the deputy commander of the whole army?"

After Shouming finished listening, the dark clouds in his heart seemed to have lifted a little.

"That's exactly the reason, but why do you think Master doesn't want me to guard Henan?"

"It's hard to guess, senior brother, you are highly respected among the senior brothers, and the master is counting on you to conquer the battlefield and expand the territory for him."

And Shouming didn't know whether he was stupid or what, but he actually believed Shouchang's words.

"You are right. The master once said in front of you that I am his first disciple and heir to him. How could the master not believe me?"

After finishing speaking, Shouming became obviously more cheerful, then patted Shouchang on the shoulder and said, "It's your idea to go more, let's go to the Moon Tower in the city to have a meal."

After finishing speaking, he had to go out first, and Shouchang, who was following behind him, showed helplessness on his face.

In the next few days, the entire city of Kaifeng was in chaos, with soldiers running around the city non-stop.

On the third day, Yang Heng came to the barracks in person, and after that, the army began to leave the barracks slowly, heading east to Shandong.

……

On this day, the army came to the junction of Shandong and Henan. Yang Heng saw that it was not early, and ordered to set up camp here.

That night, Jin Chanwen served Yang Heng for dinner, and then Yang Heng dealt with military affairs in the big tent, but she quietly left the big tent of the Chinese Army and came to a place where no one was there. They clapped their hands lightly.

Then a black shadow appeared next to the golden cicada pattern.

"Mother Buddha."

"What's going on in Shandong?"

"Back to the Buddha Mother, I secretly contacted the leaders of the sect, and most of them told me that they would follow the order of the Buddha Mother."

Jin Chanwen nodded in satisfaction, then touched her belly that had begun to swell slightly, and then asked: "What about that little girl, Xiaoer?"

The man in black paused for a moment, and then replied with an ugly face: "I once sent someone to secretly test the leader, but the leader was so stubborn that he treated the Buddha mother as nothing."

Jin Chanwen also sighed after listening.

In the face of huge interests, what is a little family affection?

But since Xiao Er has already ignored her as a Buddha mother, there is no need for him to be polite to her.

This time, Xianggong led the army to march eastward, and he helped from the side. If there were no accidents, he should be able to wipe out this rebellious grandson very quickly.

At that time, just in case, don't blame yourself, the Buddhist mother, for plotting against her.

For the sake of my own children, I must not let the trouble of the second child continue to exist in the world.

Because no one understands the White Lotus Sect's ability to confuse ordinary people better than the Buddha's mother Jin Chan Wen. If this hidden danger is kept, when her child is in charge of the world, there will be troubles in the White Lotus Sect.

If this is the case, the White Lotus Sect is not his help, but his enemy.

On the second day, Yang Heng's army continued to march. From this day on, Yang Heng's army had entered the territory of Shandong.

After arriving here, Dugong Li sent out wave after wave of supporters, constantly delivering news from the front line to Yang Heng.

As more and more information was obtained, Yang Heng also felt that something was wrong. It turned out that Dugong Li was actually defeated by the White Lotus Sect. In the end, he could only be trapped in Jinan City, with no reinforcements outside and no food inside.

After Dugong Li knew that Yang Heng's army had entered Shandong, he seemed to be grasping at straws, and kept sending out sentry posts to send messages to Yang Heng, asking Yang Heng to speed up his march.

On the one hand, Yang Heng complained that this Dugong Li was a waste snack, and on the other hand, he had to urge the army to speed up.

Just like that, Yang Heng's army accelerated rapidly and approached Jinan City quickly.

And as Yang Heng's army got closer and closer to Jinan City, the spies of the White Lotus Sect also knew about Yang Heng's whereabouts, and soon spread to the White Lotus Sect's camp.

In the big camp, it is Xiaoer who is in charge of the overall situation of the White Lotus Sect.

This little girl has been hiding her whereabouts since she barely escaped Yang Heng's pursuit last time. She returned to Shandong only when the court started to turmoil. team.

This time, Xiao Er was not as soft-hearted as Xu Hongru and the Buddha's mother before. Wherever she went, all the wealthy households were killed by her, and the land was distributed to ordinary working people.

And those wealthy households had to take their money and flee to Jinan City to avoid being hunted down.

This time, the common people's support for Xiaoer reached an unprecedented peak.

And the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect under her command are also more determined than before, and they are almost desperate to fight.

And those soldiers in the imperial court are just to eat some food and pay, but they are not as strong-willed as those in the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, they were able to persist at first, but as time went by, they were quickly beaten and defeated, and now they have to retreat to Jinan City with Li Dugong.

Chapter 562 The Enemy Meets

The soldiers taught during the day can be said to be the most steadfast group of supporters for Xiao Er.

But even Xiaoer, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, didn't know that a large part of the upper echelon of the White Lotus Sect was already in a state of unrest.

Because they had received some news from various sources, the Buddha Mother of the White Lotus Sect had already stood by Yang Heng's side.

For the Buddha Mother, they, the high-level White Lotus Sect, can be said to have admiration, because almost all of these high-level White Lotus Sects were born as orphans, and they were raised by the Buddha Mother from an early age.

Therefore, for them, the Buddha mother is no different from their biological parents.

At this moment of choice, it is natural that the parents have the upper hand. As for the loyalty to the second child, it is naturally left behind.

But Xiao Er didn't know the hidden risks. She was still commanding the army to attack the city with high spirits. Constant confrontation, just like when Xu Hongru was fighting against the imperial army.

But this time they had a tough time, because the wealthy households in Jinan knew that once the White Lotus Sect broke through the city, they would probably be the whole family going to see the King of Hades.

Therefore, these rich people can now be said to be rich and powerful, and even send all their servants to the city wall.

And began to recruit civilians in Jinan City to help defend the city.

The remuneration is very high, almost every day is equivalent to the income of the previous month, so the people who sign up are very enthusiastic.

With these rich people desperately fighting for their lives, the defense of Jinan City was indirectly stabilized, and the White Lotus Sect even suffered heavy losses in several attacks.

In the end, when Yang Heng's army approached Jinan City for fifty miles, although Jinan City seemed to be crumbling, it relied on its spirit to block the crazy attack of the White Lotus Sect.

After receiving the news that Yang Heng's army was approaching Jinan City, the Xiao Er of the White Lotus Sect had no choice but to withdraw his troops and let go of the siege of Jinan City.

This is also Xiaoer's fear of Yang Heng, because she saw Yang Heng's majesty during the last White Lotus Sect uprising.

At that time, almost relying on Yang Heng's own power, he broke the White Lotus Sect, so that the former leader Xu Hongru had to go back to the west with hatred.
