Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

After a while, Chu Yanze also finished offering incense. The old master, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, recited two Buddhist chants to the two of them. He dipped his hands into the water in the alms bowl, then raised it and placed it in front of their foreheads. Taking inventory means eliminating disasters and praying for blessings.

Mingyi clasped her hands together and knelt in front of the Buddha statue. She looked very pious, but closed her eyes and uttered cold words, "Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved. Lord Chu is so pious, but is he enlightened? Ready to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately." ? Then this is a blessing for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it should be a great meritorious deed."

"Mrs. Xue's words are as if Mr. Chu is unforgivable. If we talk about the murderous karma, Governor Xue has done much more than me." Chu Yanze also didn't look sideways, kneeling there, seemingly pious, and even smiled slightly, There was nothing gentlemanly about the words that came out of his mouth.

Hearing him talk about Xue Lin, Mingyi suddenly frowned and glanced at him like a knife, "A Bodhisattva can still kill a whole city to save a country. Now that my governor has joined the military, he holds a steel sword in his hand to protect his family and country." People, it is a great righteousness that the country and the country are safe. Even if you commit murder, the Bodhisattva can clearly see it. But Mr. Chu, the Bodhisattva is right in front of you. Do you really feel that you have a clear conscience? Mr. Chu has been a human being for more than 20 years, and he has never committed any murder. Karma? Or have you never committed murder for your own selfish reasons?"

The brightness was gone, and the dignity was gone. At this moment, Mingyi seemed like a hedgehog whose scales had been touched, and the spikes all over her body were standing up.

Chu Yanze's eyes flashed darkly. He looked at her for a moment and then smacked his lips, "So..."

Mingyi tilted her head, and when she heard that he just said these two words without any further explanation, she couldn't help but frown, "So what?"

"Nothing." The incense and blessing ceremony was completed. Chu Yanze shook the hem of his red official uniform and stood up.

Mingyi frowned and stared at him, but did not ask any more questions. She stood up with her skirts tucked in, slowly turned around, and looked at the people in the audience with a smile along with him.

"Our wife is really generous and beautiful. She looks like a match made in heaven with our governor!"

"Our lady and the border patrol are both from Wangjing. I think they are a handsome man and a charming woman, and they look like a perfect match."

"Are you stupid? That is the wife of our Grand Governor, and you actually said that she is a good match for other men?"

"Besides, how can he be a good match? That man is thin and frail, and he looks like he could be blown over by the strong wind and sand. How can he look like a man?"

"You actually compare him with our Grand Governor. Are your eyes blurred?"

The man only said one word and the crowd around him started to attack. Mingyi couldn't help but smile when she heard those words. As expected, Governor Xue was very popular among the people in Beiguan.

It was not the first time that Chu Yanze beside her heard someone say that he was weak, but this time the words were even more blunt, saying that he didn't look like a man. No matter how well-educated he was, the smile on his face was a little unbearable at this moment. When he turned around and saw the eager smile on Mingyi's face, especially when she raised her eyebrows provocatively at him, Chu Yanze immediately felt that his blood was boiling Swelling up, his face instantly darkened.

Looking at his face, Mingyi smiled even more cheerfully.

When Weiyu on the side saw this, he also pursed his lips and snickered. Fengyu, on the other hand, had a calm expression from beginning to end, and looked no different from usual. A maid, in the crowd, was an existence that could be ignored at will like a shadow. .

The sun is not strong today, the cloud shadows in the sky are light, and against the gusts of west wind, it is neither hot nor cold.

Suddenly, something flashed in the sun on the ridge opposite the high platform, and Fengyu looked up instantly. Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow shot through the air.

"Madam, be careful!" Feng Yu shouted loudly, took out the dagger from his sleeve and rushed forward to block the sharp arrow. He only heard a "ding" sound, and the sharp arrow passed by the dagger, and a few sparks burst out, but they were already deflected. He pointed the direction, and with a "du" sound, he plunged a few steps in front of Mingyi, and penetrated three points.

The person who placed the cold arrow on the ridge missed the target, and instead of firing a second arrow, he slipped down from the other side of the ridge.

"Chase!" Feng Yu waved the dagger in his hand, and the archer guarding the street not far away chased the assassin.

Only then did everyone realize what happened, and the crowd suddenly became panicked.

At the same time, several people in the crowd rose up and attacked the high platform with knives. They fired two more cold arrows, but this time they avoided Mingyi and shot straight towards Chu Yanze's face.

He obviously didn't expect it, so he took a step back in a hurry, almost tripping over something and falling. He was blocked by something behind him, and he barely managed to stand still. As for the two arrows shot at him, one of them was blocked by his guard. , the other one was cut off in the middle by a man who jumped out from behind the Buddha statue with a sword. After the man cut off the arrow, he kept swinging the sword forward and fought with the unidentified people who jumped onto the high platform. Chu Yanze was startled, and felt that this person looked familiar. After looking carefully, he remembered, wasn't he the guard who had been protecting Mingyi for the past two days? It seems his surname is Lu.

Chu Yanze was in shock. He turned around and saw Mingyi's bright smile. It was she who casually pulled out a bamboo pole and blocked his fall, blocking his waist.

"Master Chu, if something happens to you in our Beiguan, it will be difficult for us, the governor, to explain it. Do you think the person who caused this incident today also had the same idea? It seems that Master Chu is in some danger!" Ming Yi said to him. He blinked and smiled. When he stood firm, he had neatly retracted the bamboo pole and swept it towards him, immediately knocking down the two people in front of him. She... Chu Yanze's pupils shrank, and among the noisy and chaotic crowd, he was squeezing out with the flow of people, but he kept paying attention to the people on the stage who looked at each other in shock, and saw similar surprise in each other's eyes.

After Mingyi swept down the two people, he stopped and threw away the bamboo pole in his hand. Another twenty or thirty black-clad archers rushed out from the street and the alleys on the other two sides. The two people on the high platform were surrounded, but intentionally or not, she and Chu Yanze were separated by many people. If Chu Yanze moved, he would be watched closely.

Pian Mingyi turned to smile at him and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, we will save you no matter what, but I don't know if these people who want your life will easily let you go."

Chu Yanze's heart was pounding. He looked up and saw a melee below. However, the black-clad archers and the Beiguan officers and soldiers who came from unknown times were able to avoid the unarmed people with their swords in hand. They seemed to be pouring in from all directions. He came, but he was well prepared. There was actually a hidden formation during the march, trapping people tightly. In the blink of an eye, not only the people who rushed to the high platform, but also the assassins who were mixed in the crowd were all taken down.

"I didn't expect that although Governor Xue was not here, he had already made arrangements. Mrs. Xue... is also impressive!" Chu Yanze looked at Mingyi with a very meaningful tone.

"Is it just me that makes Mr. Chu look at him with admiration? Could it be that the two cold arrows aimed at you arrived early in the morning?" Mingyi curled her lips, her bright eyes looked at him lightly. Although she didn't point it out clearly, she said it with intention. , the listener is also interested, and both of them are well aware of it.

The two looked at each other, a dim light flickered, and then looked away.

At this time, Lu Zhao came up and clasped his fists to save his life, "Madam, all the assassins have been captured."

"Take the person back first, and then interrogate him when the governor comes back." Mingyi's voice deepened, showing no anger or authority.
