In the night of Kyoto, with the gentle breeze blowing, the smell of blood that had been permeating the air had been reduced a lot. Thousands of soldiers had washed the battlefield several times, washing away the blood, but they could not wash away the souls of the dead.

Xue Poye returned to his Xue Garden in Kyoto exhausted. Monk Mingxu, who had been living in Kyoto, immediately followed Xue Poye, stomped back to the house, closed the doors and windows, and asked in a low voice: "Helmsman"

Lord, is it true that the emperor is not dead?"

Xue Poye glanced at him and said calmly: "No, I am living well."

Emperor Deqing was not dead, and he was promoted to the number one position in the Yulin Guards. No matter what, his political future could continue and proceed smoothly. From the bottom of his heart, Xue Poye was still very happy.

of.

"I see." Mingxu nodded and frowned, "That's a bit difficult to handle."

Xue Poye frowned and said, "What is difficult to handle?"

Mingxu came closer and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you know that the master of the Kyoto Branch has recently ignored the dissuasion of Military Advisor Hua and is now planning to sneak into the palace and assassinate the nobles in the palace.

Amitabha, very good!"

When Xue Poye heard "elder brother", he immediately thought of what happened to Xue Ye in the bank. He had personally killed a brother of Qinglianzhao.

"Even tens of thousands of the royal family's troops cannot enter the palace. How can it be possible to rely on Kyoto to divide the helm?"

I don't know if I should cry or laugh if my senior brother's plan really succeeds.

It’s just that in the past six months, I have experienced too many things, and I have seen constant internal strife within Qinglianzhao. The struggle for power is by no means smaller than the power struggle in the imperial court. In addition, military advisor Hua Xian gave himself a big surprise.

This almost shameless method was used to control himself, so Xue Poye had an extremely bad impression of Qinglian Zhao.

On the contrary, due to Emperor Deqing's high regard for the imperial court and his harmonious relationship with the generals of the Yulin Guards, Xue Poye was closer to the imperial court than Qinglianzhao.

Mingxu said softly: "I heard that senior brother wanted to take advantage of the chaos and silence in Kyoto when the emperor died to sneak people into it... But I just heard that the emperor was resurrected from the dead, so I'm afraid this plan can no longer be done.

"

Xue Poye touched his nose, poured a cup of hot tea, and took a sip. The scalding hot tea flowed into his mouth, which felt indescribably comfortable.

"Whether the emperor is dead or alive, entering the palace to assassinate is a stupid choice. Since ancient times, being able to enter the palace and then assassinate a large number of nobles is very rare, at least I have never heard of it." Xue Po

Ye said calmly, glanced at Mingxu, and asked: "Yes, senior brother, why did you suddenly develop this interest? Aren't we Qinglianzhao always very low-key in our behavior?"

Mingxu clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, helmsman, senior brother... Well, it seems that many of his subordinates were injured by the imperial court, so they became angry and acted like this... It is said that those who died were not ordinary members of the congregation, but several who had followed him for many years.

Brother of life and death, although he has a low-key and calm personality, he can't stand it this time."

Xue Poye said "Oh", knowing that it must be that several brothers, alive and dead, died in the Hubu Bank that night, so the elder brother decided to take revenge.

"Mingxu." Xue Poye hesitated for a moment, then asked: "How much do you know about military advisors?"

Mingxu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Master, the military advisor has always been the most mysterious person in our Qinglianzhao. I don't know much about it. Well, I heard that the military advisor once saved the chief helmsman's life. That was...

...It seems to have been six years ago. At that time, the military advisor joined our Qinglianzhao. Two years later, he became the military advisor of our Qinglianzhao. The chief helmsman trusted him very much... All I know is

So much."

Xue Poye was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then have you heard of poison like Biyoujing?"

Mingxu's eyes lit up and he laughed and said: "Master, is it possible that the military advisor also gave you a green oil surprise?"

Xue Poye asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know." Mingxu said proudly: "This Biyoujing is an extremely rare poison in the world. Not everyone can prepare this poison. I heard that military advisors are good at preparing this poison.

, and...hehe, I also know that there are very few people in this world who know this kind of poison."

"Don't try to quarrel with me." Xue Poye said coldly: "I was hit by Hua Xian's Biyou Jing. Do you have any idea?"

Mingxu felt aggrieved and hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry. In fact... In fact, the military counselor used this poison to control many unruly people. If the military counselor gave you this poison, it means... that means the helmsman

The Lord is a powerful figure in the hearts of military advisors."

"Awesome, you monk." Xue Poye said angrily, and felt a little anxious. He relied on Mingxu to detoxify Biyoujing. He didn't know if this dishonest monk had such ability, so he said coldly:

"Tell me, is there any way?"

Mingxu murmured: "I have never seen someone so arrogant when asking for help. Amitabha, it's a sin." He coughed twice and said softly: "Master, I'll tell you the truth, although this green oil shock is the most difficult poison in the world,

, but Mingxu already knew the method of detoxification three years ago!"

"Ah!" Xue Poye was filled with surprise, stood up, grabbed Mingxu's hand, and said excitedly: "Mingxu...!"

"Master...!" Mingxu responded affectionately.

Xue Poye was stunned, and quickly looked at Mingxu's forehead, but he still happily pulled Mingxu to sit down and said: "It's very good, it's very good, I've been cured of my poison."

"But...!" Mingxu suddenly became embarrassed.

Xue Poye frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Mingxu sighed and said: "Master, your green oil shock was poisoned by the military advisor. Mingxu dare not detoxify it, otherwise...otherwise it will break the rules. Who dares to detoxify the poison administered by the military advisor?"

"choke!"

Xue Poye pulled out the knife, put it against Mingxu's neck, and sneered: "Can you understand?"

Mingxu put his hands together and closed his eyes, and he chanted the Purana Sutra very calmly, without any fear.

Xue Poye gritted his teeth, wishing to smash his monk's head open. However, at this time, Mingxu was the only one who could detoxify the poison. He had no choice but to take back the knife and sighed: "Mingxu, can you bear to look at you?

The helmsman was poisoned to death?"

Mingxu continued to chant sutras and did not dare to answer.

"Well, in that case, the old friendship between you and me will end today." Xue Poye sighed: "I am blind, knowing you, a monk who is unwilling to save anyone."

Mingxu opened his eyes and looked at Xue Poye with some fear.

I saw Xue Poye sitting on a chair and said seriously: "Go and leave my Xue Garden. You can go wherever you want...I want to rest."

There was a really tired look on his face.

"Master...!" Mingxu looked at the sky outside and said, "It's so late, you...where do you want me to go?"

"You can go wherever you like, it's none of my business." Xue Poye said calmly.

Mingxu hesitated and muttered: "Master...how can you blame me...this is the poison given by the military counselor...the military counselor...if I detoxify...I broke the rules, Amitabha!"

"Ah, you, your mother, are trusting your father's Buddha!" ​​Xue Poye scolded: "You chant sutras on your lips, but your stomach is full of bad water, and you refuse to save them. Doesn't this break the rules of your Buddhism? Come on, I don't want to

See you."

Since Mingxu followed Xue Poye, whether in Hangzhou, Suzhou or Kyoto, he has lived a leisurely life, living comfortably and eating more comfortably. How could he have such a happy time in his life? He was kicked out at this time

, it’s like saying goodbye to these beautiful lives.

He was silent, hesitant, and thinking.

"Master, I thought about it...Actually, you are right." Mingxu looked at Xue Poye with a benevolent look: "Buddha said, save all sentient beings, and the helmsman is poisoned. If I don't save him, what will happen if I don't save him?"

It does not violate Buddhist teachings. What's more, I am the helmsman's subordinate. The helmsman takes great care of Mingxu. If I don't, it will not be justified in terms of loyalty. Well, I am the helmsman's subordinate. As for the military advisor... Li

I am too far away, I still listen to the helmsman and help you detoxify."

Xue Poye said "Oh" and said with a smile: "You figured it out?"

"I figured it out!" Mingxu nodded fiercely.

Xue Poye then stood up and patted Mingxu's shoulder happily: "It is said that knowing the current affairs makes a hero. I have always thought that you are a hero. Yes, how long will it take to prepare the antidote?"

"Well, helmsman, give me a month!"

"What?" Xue Poye jumped up: "No, the poison is on me and I feel uncomfortable. I'll give you ten...eight...five days. If you don't deserve it, leave here by yourself."

Mingxu grimaced: "I'll give it a try, try it...!"

Xue Poye was very happy and said: "In order to commend you for your contribution, I will ask them to cook ten or eight delicious dishes for you later." He thought to himself: "Hua Xian, Hua Xian, you are so scared."

, I have Monk Mingxu, one thing will bring down another, you can't control me, when I am free, I will play with you."

This means that humans are not as good as God.

With the most worrying matter in his mind settled, Xue Poye was in a happy mood. He ordered his servants to prepare wine and food, and he and Mingxu enjoyed a delicious meal, and then took a quick hot bath before going to bed to rest.

Just lying in bed, late at night, I couldn't help but think of the Green Lady, that enchanting beauty. Where is she now?

…

…

Although the royal mutiny brought great panic to the people of Kyoto, under the iron fist of His Majesty the Emperor, the mutiny ended just like playing house.

Only one day later, everything in Kyoto returned to normal, and the streets returned to their usual vitality.

Two days later, His Majesty the Emperor passed down a decree, ordering Xue Poye to move to the General Guard's Mansion.

The General Guard's Mansion is the residence of the Chief Guard of the Yulin Forest. Although the area is not as large as that of the emperor's relatives, it is very large among the ranks of officials. It used to be the residence of the General Guard of the Yulin Teng Xifeng. Now Teng Xifeng has retired and returned to his hometown.

After that, the family moved back to their hometown within two days, and the mansion became empty, so the emperor ordered Xue Poye to sign in as the general guard of Yulin. There was only a plaque in front of the door, except for "General Guard's Mansion"

"In addition, the golden words "Viscount Dachu" were added below.

The captains of the Habayashi camp happily led a group of Habayashi guards to clean and tidy up the mansion, re-purchased things, chose an auspicious day, and moved into the General Guard's Mansion.

Naturally, congratulations from all the officials were inevitable on this day. Xue Poye was now a popular figure in the court. During the mutiny, he even guarded the palace calmly. Even the empress dowager, empress, and even the eldest princess sent people to send generous gifts. It was really like a day in the sun.
