The best little eunuch

Chapter 170 Are They Together?
Chapter 170 Are They Together?
Following Lord Maitreya, Lin Feng and the others came to a fasting hall.The fast meal has already been prepared, Lord Maitreya said to Lin Feng: "My lord, please."

"Excuse me." Lin Feng said, walked to the edge of the table and sat down.

"There is no meat in the temple, so I'm neglecting my lord." Buddha Lord Maitreya said, "Your lord can also try vegetarian food. Sometimes it's good to change the taste."

"This officer also has the intention." Lin Feng said, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted the food on the table.No way, at this time, even if Lord Maitreya made a move, he couldn't delay it.

After taking a shallow sip, Lin Feng said, "Sure enough, it's not a taste."

"Actually, I'm used to rough tea and light meals in the temple, but I'm not used to the outside world." Maitreya Buddha said: "You can't drink alcohol in temples. I use tea instead of wine to respect adults."

"Lord Buddha, you're being polite." Lin Feng said, and quickly picked up the teacup.

Maitreya Buddha took a sip, relieved his teacup, and said: "I look at the face of adults, and adults are not mediocre people who are willing to be inferior to others."

"Lord Buddha's words are ridiculous. In this huge Jiangnan, I have the final say alone. Is this still a subordinate?" Lin Feng said with a smile.He is basically regarded as the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River now.The emperor gave him absolute power.In Jiangnan, he is the one who has the final say.

Smiling slightly, Buddha Lord Maitreya said, "Your Excellency, I know that's not what I meant."

"This... I really don't understand." Lin Feng said.

"With my lord's great ambition, the three religions and nine streams in the south of the Yangtze River will perish sooner or later. They will either seek refuge under your lord's command, or they will be wiped out. I don't know if what I said is right?" Buddha Lord Maitreya said.

Looking at Buddha Lord Maitreya, Lin Feng said, "What does Lord Buddha mean by this?"

"Since my lord pretends to be ignorant with his understanding, let me act as a man of understanding." Buddha Lord Maitreya looked at Lin Feng and said, "There are currently two major sects in the south of the Yangtze River. One is the Maitreya Sect where I belong, and the other One is the very mysterious Fire Lotus Sect. Presumably, adults have heard of these, right?"

"This... this governor has heard of it. But, hasn't the Fire Lotus Sect been wiped out? Why? Have they revived?" Lin Feng pretended not to know.

After laughing, Jiang Ping said: "My lord is just joking. This Fire Lotus Sect has never been wiped out, so how can it be revived? They just suffered a huge blow back then, but they did not perish."

"So that's the case." Lin Feng said: "However, if they don't do anything illegal, there is no need for the Governor to embarrass them."

"My lord, we Ming people don't speak dark words." Jiang Ping said: "Whether it is the Maitreya Sect or the Fire Lotus Sect, which one does not have its own purpose. Therefore, if your lord wants to completely rule the south of the Yangtze River, these two groups of forces must be It has to be eradicated, otherwise, how can your lord rule Jiangnan in a stable way?"

"I don't know what the Lord Buddha's words mean?" Lin Feng asked rather puzzled.From Jiang Ping's words, it seems that he and Jiang Qi are not completely in the same way.

Smiling, Jiang Ping said: "I have said long ago that after staying in the temple for a long time and reading scriptures, I feel that this temple is my home. However, my younger brother has always made me feel at ease. what."

"I don't know how I can help Lord Buddha?" Lin Feng asked.

Sighing, Maitreya Buddha said: "Originally this Maitreya religion is just a branch of Buddhism, and the Fire Lotus religion is the same, but it was taken advantage of by ambitious people and embarked on this road of no return. I have nothing to ask for. , I just hope that this Maitreya religion will not be cut off here.”

"As long as the Maitreya Sect does not do anything illegal, I will naturally not ban the Maitreya Sect." Lin Feng said.It seems that Lord Maitreya is not in the same group as Jiang Qi and the others.Even though they used to be in the same group, Jiang Ping has been influenced by reciting scriptures in the temple all the year round.

Shaking his head, Jiang Ping said: "The current Maitreya Sect is beyond my control. If your lord appeared ten years earlier, I might be able to make the Maitreya Sect go astray. Now it is impossible."

"What does Lord Buddha mean by these words?" Lin Feng asked.

Shaking his head, Maitreya Buddha said: "The Buddha said: Do not speak." After finishing speaking, Maitreya Buddha bowed to Lin Feng with clasped hands together, and said: "My lord, please use it slowly. I am going back to the meditation room first." After speaking, he ordered The little novice took good care of Lin Feng and left by himself.It made Lin Feng confused.

After eating in the temple, Lin Feng went back.He repeatedly recalled Jiang Ping's words, it seemed that Jiang Ping and Jiang Qi were not in the same group, but Jiang Qi and the others actually controlled the Maitreya Sect, so Jiang Ping was powerless.

From Jiang Ping's words, the behind-the-scenes controller of the Yandao Yamen seems to have begun to surface, but whether it is the Maitreya Sect, Lin Feng dare not make a judgment.Maybe it's just these people using the identity of the Maitreya Sect to cover up?
Lin Feng originally planned to go back to Jinling the next day. First, Li Wenyuan urged him urgently. Second, Lin Feng really had a lot of things to deal with. It was a bit inconvenient to stay elsewhere all the time.However, Ruan Ling'er insisted on listening to the Buddhist scriptures on the third day, Lin Feng had no choice but to agree.

Ruan Ling'er went to listen to Buddhist scriptures, and Lin Feng had nothing to do, so he began to think about the future.At present, things in Jiangnan are all moving in a good direction.Although there are many places that are not satisfactory, but overall it is good.

However, Lin Feng also knew that he didn't have much time.Neither the emperor nor Li Henian and Liu Rufeng would give themselves a lot of time.If he didn't make any achievements in Jiangnan, then it was almost a certainty that he would be transferred back to the capital.This is not what Lin Feng wants.

At present, the entire domestic environment of Yan Dynasty is very delicate. As long as a little external force is applied, Great Yan Dynasty will be completely dispersed into small alliances for many years.After all, there are not many provinces that the imperial court can actually control.More provinces and courts seem to be in harmony with each other.The imperial court can't command them at all.This has already appeared since the rebellion of King Wu last year.

Not only the various provinces, but now the frontier troops in the southwest and northeast, the imperial court is not able to command them to move.If you want them to do something, you must first clear the way with military spending.They seem to have become mercenaries. If the court doesn't pay them, they won't do anything.

Fortunately, Zhao Qing controls the armies in the northwest and the north. These armies are the elite of the Great Yan Dynasty, and they are also the largest in number.However, they needed to defend against the alien races in the north and northwest. If they hadn't been drawn into a large number of troops by the alien races, and Zhao Qing's army was there, the governors of various places would not dare to be so presumptuous.

Taking out the territory map of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Feng looked at it carefully.The map is very simple, but Lin Feng has no choice but to make do with it.He couldn't find a more detailed map.

I carefully checked the locations of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River that I controlled. Generally speaking, the three provinces I controlled were not bad, they were near the sea, and they were also regarded as one of the economic centers.The most important thing is that Jinling is the political center of the entire south. Although the left-behind department has been abandoned for a long time, this does not mean that Jinling has lost its position as a political center.

After taking a closer look, it is basically impossible to have allies around him.Once the Great Yan Dynasty splits up, enemies will be all around him.However, the slight advantage I have over them is that I control three provinces, and my strength is relatively stronger.Of course, if these divided provinces form an alliance, Lin Feng will be much more passive.

"The most urgent thing is to make yourself stronger as soon as possible." Lin Feng said with confidence in the map.Currently, there are very few troops that Lin Feng can rely on, only the [-] troops from Xin Hong in the southeastern province plus Hu Ruowu's navy.For the time being, the navy is hopeless. First, they can only fight on the water. Second, their numbers are limited and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed.

While Lin Feng was thinking, there was a knock on the door.Lin Feng retracted his thoughts and said, "Who is it? Come in."

"My lord, there is a letter from Jinling." Niu Jin came in and said to Lin Feng.And quickly took out a letter and handed it to Lin Feng.

After receiving the letter, Lin Feng read it carefully. It was written by Li Wenyuan.The content of the letter was very simple. It reported the recent situation and focused on the progress of the general supervisor. The imitation of the firearms has been successful, and its performance is not inferior to that batch of firearms, or even better.

Putting down the letter, Lin Feng said excitedly, "Okay."

"My lord, what's the matter?" Niu Jin asked when he saw Lin Feng was excited.

"Go and prepare, we will go back to Jinling tomorrow. By the way, tell Yuan Yu and Master Min Tao that I will leave tomorrow, so they don't have to send them off." Lin Feng said to Niu Jin, if it wasn't so late, Lin Feng wanted to leave for Jinling now.

"Yes, my lord." Niu Jin said, and ran out quickly.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Feng and his convoy set off, and the destination was Jinling.

Because Niu Jin was sent to say hello, although the officials in the southeast province knew that Lin Feng was leaving, no one came to see him off.That's fine, otherwise it would take half a day, which would definitely be torture for Lin Feng, who was eager to return home.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Niu Jin couldn't help asking again.Even Dong'er, who was always reluctant to inquire about these things, couldn't help leaning over to hear about it.

Laughing mysteriously, Lin Feng said: "Keep secret. Our first priority now is to get back as quickly as possible."

"It's really boring, you will die if you talk about it?" Dong'er said helplessly.Originally, she was not very interested in this matter, but after hearing what Lin Feng said, she was aroused curiosity and wanted to listen.

"Don't tell me, you'll know when you get back." Lin Feng said, lashing the horse vigorously to make it run faster.Driven by Lin Feng, the speed of the whole team was also much faster.

Although Lin Feng is eager to return home, after all, Southeast and Nanjiang are two different provinces, and the distance between them is still very far.After five days of rushing, they finally arrived at Jinling.There is no need to mention everyone's tiredness on the road these days.
