Chapter 974: Death and the Body
Chapter 974: Death and the Body
Taoist Lengquan felt very sorry that such a genius like Lin Feng had passed away in this way.
The key point is that the treasure of Yuquan Temple was also lost.
He didn't dare to ask Shu Qin, because there was a huge gap between the two sects, and no one would pay any attention to him.
Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo was filled with sadness, as Lin Feng was her hope in her later years and also the hope for the development of Yuquan Temple.
All of Zhen Zhuo's thoughts were focused on how to improve Lin Feng's martial arts. He wanted to raise Lin Feng's level as quickly as possible so that the leaders of other hidden sects would accept Lin Feng.
As long as the bosses accept Lin Feng, Lin Feng will be safe.
Unexpectedly, before all this could happen, Lin Feng died.
Zhen Zhuo didn't believe it. Although she was heartbroken, there was a voice in her heart that stubbornly insisted that Lin Feng would not die like this.
A genius is not just a genius in practicing martial arts, but a genius in facing all difficulties. Lin Feng is a genius.
Such a genius will not be easily destroyed.
Lengquan was also willing to believe Zhen Zhuo, but who spread the news? It was Shu Qin, the discipline elder of Kunyu Mountain. He was not an ordinary disciple of a secluded sect.
That was a high-ranking member of the sect who had already glimpsed a glimpse of the secrets, a person of higher rank than him, the temple master Lengquan.
Who dares not to believe it?
Zhen Zhuo was very persistent and refused to listen to Leng Quan's advice. He insisted on going down the mountain to find Lin Feng.
She wanted to see Lin Feng. Even if he was dead, he should have a corpse.
Live to see people, die to see corpses.
This is the purpose of Zhen Zhuo's descent to the mountain, and it is also her explanation for her obsession. As a person of Tao, one's thoughts must be clear.
This hurdle is in my heart, and no matter how long I live, I will not be able to overcome it.
Seeing that Zhen Zhuo had reached a dead end, Lengquan had no choice but to let him go down the mountain.
Wei Bao received the news very early. He held a piece of paper in his hand, which clearly stated that it was Shu Qin, the elder of Kunyu Mountain, who said in person that Lin Feng had been killed by her men.
At that time, Wei Bao was riding a warhorse outside a village on the outskirts of Kyoto. He wanted to confirm whether Zhao Zheng really wanted to secretly take Xuncheng.
Before this information was clarified, news came that Lin Feng had been killed by Shu Qin.
The warhorse was nibbling the grass on the ground with its head down, while Wei Bao was sitting on the horse's back in a daze, staring at the note in his hand, and was reluctant to leave.
Years of intelligence work allowed him to expand his thinking and verify the authenticity of this intelligence from all aspects.
Whether from the source of the news or the transmission channel, the authenticity of this matter accounts for more than half.
Wei Bao wanted to get off the horse. He felt a little dizzy and his chest was very stuffy.
Unexpectedly, he lost his grip and fell off his horse. He struggled to get up, but before he could straighten up, he spat out a mouthful of blood all over the ground.
Wei Bao cursed: "Fuck, we haven't figured it out yet, what a panic!"
His guards were not far away and were running here in fright.
Wei Bao turned over and sat on the ground, raising his hand to signal the guards not to come over, as he wanted to be quiet for a while.
The more I want to be quiet, the more confused I become.
Just negative, bad thoughts.
After much difficulty, he suppressed his restlessness and wrote a few words on the piece of paper with a pen.
"It is imperative to investigate and finalize the details."
Then he waved to the guard to come over and pass the note.
Wei Bao stopped doing anything else and was helped onto the horse by the guards, and led his men to Tianzhi Mansion.
The news spread quickly, and those who could get the news were all the top leaders of the Zhenxi Army.
Bai Jing was at the Zhenxi Army General's Mansion in Shanglin Prefecture.
Although Wei Bao's cavalry did not confirm the accuracy of the news, they did not dare to conceal it for too long and only sent the preliminary news first.
Bai Jing sat in her study, her eyes fixed on a pot of lotus on the desk, on which several white flowers had already bloomed.
There was no one else in the room and it was very quiet.
She had been staring at the lotus for half an hour.
She was usually very busy and had almost no free moment. The affairs of the entire Zhenxi Army were numerous and complicated, and her study was always bustling with people coming in and out.
But today, it is very quiet and there is no one around.
In Bai Jing's mind, it was like a movie playing, carefully recalling her past with Lin Feng, scene by scene.
This man's magical qualities are truly amazing.
Bai Jing also tried hard to keep up with Lin Feng, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she worked, she could not compare to him.
In recent years, the gap between Lin Feng and me seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I can only support him silently behind the scenes, but cannot walk together and move forward in sync.
Fortunately, she and Wen Cheng managed the eight prefectures in Zhenxi in an orderly manner, stabilizing the rear so that Lin Feng had no worries.
Bai Jing didn't ask for anything, she just wanted to stay behind Lin Feng, maybe one day, when he had free time, he would come back to see her.
Now, I am afraid that even this requirement cannot be realized.
Like everyone who knew the news, Bai Jing was not sure whether Lin Feng would really disappear from this world.
Someone so vivid, so magical, and so kind would leave her quietly.
Bai Jing didn't know how long she sat there until someone walked in.
"Sister-in-law, Zhao Zheng sent troops to besiege Xuncheng..."
The person who came was Wang Qian.
Currently, he is one of the leaders of the Zhenxi Army besides Lin Feng.
Bai Jing looked up and looked at Wang Qian calmly.
"I don't understand military operations. You've been with Lin Feng for many years, so you should know how to handle it. Don't worry about the logistics."
Wang Qian was a little scratching his head.
If troops were sent to rescue, behind Xuncheng would be Taisho's Kyoto City, which would be equivalent to declaring war on Taisho.
He can't make the decision himself.
Right now, Hu Jincai is in the southern territory of Dazong, which is too far away.
Li Donglai is in Lindu Prefecture City, and Zhang Changyou is in Tianzhi Prefecture City.
These four people were the first generals to follow Lin Feng.
If the king wants to go to war with Taisho, his own decision has no say.
The two of them sat in silence in the room, feeling very heavy-hearted.
It has been just over two days since Zhao Zheng received the news of Lin Feng's murder, and he has already started taking action.
This fully demonstrates that the accuracy of this news has increased a bit.
After a while, Bai Jing whispered.
"Even if we don't go to war with Taisho, you must rescue the troops in Xuncheng."
Wang Qian nodded: "What the sister-in-law said is true. I will go and organize a rescue right away."
Bai Jing looked at the lotus on the table with an expressionless face.
"How are you going to rescue them?"
Wang Qian looked bewildered. "I don't know yet. I'll have someone go to Tianzhi Mansion to ask Lao Zhang, who is the closest to Kyoto City. Let's see if we can send someone over."
Bai Jing nodded. This Wang Qian was a brave general with strong execution ability.
But he is weak as a leader and has no rules in his mind.
"Send someone to Jingxi Prefecture and order the Zhenxi to head for Kancheng, or send another warship into the Jingdu moat for a circuit."
Wang Qian stared at Bai Jing in confusion.
"Sister-in-law, this is..."
Bai Jing smiled bitterly: "Since we can't go to war with Taisho, let's threaten them. We don't have to take the city, but just let them let the Zhenxi Army in Xuncheng withdraw."
"Oh...yes, yes, sister-in-law really has the demeanor of a boss. I admire her."
Bai Jing waved her hand: "Go quickly. You can discuss other matters with them. Get the troops from Xuncheng to withdraw as soon as possible, especially to avoid hurting General Cui Ying."
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, I'll go right away."
