Chapter 145: A Chivalrous Style
Who knows?
Bai Xiaosheng's light words made Pei Xuanjing more sure of his guess.
Taoist Qingxu did not want to continue this topic and asked, "What about the second one?"
"The second one is the Maitreya Sect." Bai Xiaosheng said.
"Maitreya Cult?" Taoist Qingxu frowned.
Obviously, he dislikes the Maitreya religion.
The Zhenwu Sect is not only a powerful force in martial arts, but also a holy land of Taoism. As the leader of Taoism today, it is natural that it stands on the opposite side of the Maitreya Sect.
Pei Xuanjing combined his information and said: "The layout of the Maitreya Sect in the Northwest Road?"
"Huh?" Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Pei Xuanjing in surprise, he had never expected it. Pei Xuanjing actually knows so much.
Even though they already knew that Pei Xuanjing had a lot of grievances with the Maitreya Sect, the other party also destroyed a small force of the Maitreya Sect in the Northwest Road.
But you must know that the Maitreya Sect is a professional rebel. Within the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, they support countless small forces.
"It seems that he has another source of information?" Bai Xiaosheng had a guess in his mind.
This is what Pei Xuanjing wants, to add a touch of mystery to his identity.
Although Bai Xiaosheng had many guesses in his mind, he did not pause. He nodded and said: "Yes, the Maitreya Cult has a layout in the northwest. According to the information I have now, the Maitreya Cult is in the northwest. Dao invested a lot of experience and pulled many people into the water, preparing to start a riot in the Northwest Dao.”
"Sure enough!" Pei Xuanjing thought in his heart.
In this way, everything will be correct.
In my initial simulation, the Maitreya Cult was behind all the robbers I encountered and even the riot that swept through the Northwest Road.
But just when Pei Xuanjing had determined that the riots on the Northwest Road came from the Maitreya Cult, he did not expect that Bai Xiaosheng's next words would even surprise him.
"Originally, the Maitreya Cult doing this kind of thing seemed to me to be a very common thing. It was nothing at all, and I almost ignored it. But later I discovered something, which made me continue to investigate. , only to discover that there is a powerful force behind the Maitreya Sect." Bai Xiaosheng had a solemn look on his face.
Originally, in his opinion, it was natural for a professional rebel like Maitreya to do this kind of thing. After all, this is what people eat.
Just by chance, he discovered that a Supreme Elder of the Maitreya Sect suddenly left seclusion and went to a place that no one could have imagined.
“Who?” Taoist Qingxu asked.
Pei Xuanjing is also a little curious.
He originally thought that the Maitreya Sect was the last instigator of the Northwest Path, but he didn't want to have someone else.
"Yangzhou, Ning Fan." Bai Xiaosheng spit out two words.
“It turned out to be him!” Taoist Qingxu looked moved.
He never expected that it would be this one.
Bai Xiaosheng thought Pei Xuanjing was unclear, so he opened his mouth to explain for him.
Yangzhou, Ningfan.
It refers to a person and a force, Prince Ning's Mansion, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao, who is currently guarding Yangzhou.
Ning Fan, the original Prince Ning was the seventeenth son of Emperor Taizu.
Later Emperor Taizong Jingnan raised troops, and King Ning followed him by chance. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he transferred the fiefdom to Yangzhou as Ning Fan to guard Yangzhou.
Just because of the majesty of Emperor Taizong, even though he was the nominal lord of Yangzhou, the first generation King Ning never interfered in Yangzhou affairs and lived his life cautiously. The current King of Ning, Zhu Chenhao, should be the uncle of the current emperor in terms of seniority.
He is frivolous and has no dignity by nature, but he is good at decorating himself with literature and conduct; he greedily accumulates money and has political ambitions; he rejects dissidents, frames and attacks; he seeks fame and fame and pursues pleasure.
It can be said that he has the bad habits that others have, and he also has the disgusting things that others don’t have.
In short, the current reputation of Prince Ning is almost the worst among the vassal kings.
However, because he was good at pleasing the emperor and was a prince, he was extremely powerful and his position was very stable.
“It’s just nonsense!” Taoist Qingxu said coldly.
Even if the emperor has no descendants now, he may choose someone from the clan to inherit the throne in the future, but it will not be his turn. However, even Taoist Qingxu could not imagine that this person actually wanted to rebel.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "But this Prince Ning not only dreamed, but also put it into action."
The reason why his expression was solemn just now was not because of how powerful Prince Ning was. , but lies in the combination of the two.
The people of the Maitreya Cult and the strength of King Ning, such an action will have great impact once a rebellion is triggered.
Pei Xuanjing also frowned slightly: "Is there no way to stop it?"
He had no feelings for Prince Ning, nor did he have a good impression of the emperor.
Even for him, who will be the emperor has nothing to do with him.
But even though Pei Xuanjing kills without mercy, he still has a trace of compassion.
He could also imagine that once the Maitreya Cult started a riot, coupled with Prince Ning's rebellion, what a big chaos it would cause, and how many people would be displaced and lost their lives.
What's more, he and the Maitreya Sect are not at odds with each other. Of course, he must try his best to stop what the Maitreya Sect needs to do.
"Although I know about this matter, I don't have enough evidence. Even if I pass the news to the Ming Dynasty court, I'm afraid it won't attract attention." Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said.
Originally, with his status, it was easy for the Ming Dynasty to be wary of him. In addition, there was no conclusive evidence about Prince Ning's matter, so even if he passed it on, it would be useless.
Even, it will cause counter-effects and scare the snake away.
According to the clues he collected, the two parties should have been colluding together for a short time. Many things are not ready yet, and there is still some time before the real turmoil.
Now the Ming Dynasty is still in trouble with the Tatar bandits. If they are alerted at this time, they will force the other side to raise troops and start a riot.
When these two things collide, the fun will be great.
I am afraid that under the promotion of some thoughtful people, it will soon become a sweeping trend and spread to the entire Ming Dynasty.
Taoist Qingxu also understood his concerns and could only sigh helplessly.
"In this case, why not capture the thief first and capture the king first, and let me kill him, so that the problem can be solved directly from the source." Pei Xuanjing suddenly said coldly, and a cold murderous intention burst out from his body.
Since the problem cannot be solved, it is better to solve the person who caused the problem.
If killing this ambitious Prince Ning can eliminate a disaster, then Pei Xuanjing thinks it is a good deal.
Killing one person and saving ten thousand people is a very cost-effective approach.
He killed Prince Ning not for the sake of the Ming Emperor, but for the innocent people. He did not want to see them fall into war again and lose innocent lives.
"Pei Zhenren really has the spirit of a chivalrous man!" Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but praise.
