the enlightener says

"How many people did you bring? Are they all high?" Qin Ke asked casually.

"Of the 52 people, 21 of them are in the realm of junior masters. The rest should be at the second level of qi and blood at worst. Those who are better are only one step away from junior masters." Ke showed his cards.

Qin Ke was also shocked when he heard such an answer. There are 21 junior masters, and there are many blood masters who are about to enter the realm of junior masters. Although this number can be made up in Gao Changgong's army, but that This number is only among the one hundred thousand army.

Looking at Zeng Yu, those other infiltrators might not be some military masters, but more likely Zeng Yu's fellow apprentices in the Confucian school... Could it be that the background of Jishang Academy is so deep?

Either way, it's really not good news.

Originally, he thought that with the help of the four Qingzhou ghost riders who were in the realm of junior masters, he could at least transfer Gao Changgong quickly, but if there were really so many master masters in this house, it must be very difficult to send Gao Changgong away.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Qin Ke frowned and asked, "Even if you want to break your face with Jing and Wu, it can't be now, right? The front line of Xingzhou still relies on the defense of Jing and Wu's army. Now Canghai has broken through Hong Guan, shouldn’t there be more friendship and mutual assistance between the two countries?”

Zeng Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He didn't quite understand why Qin Ke would suddenly bring up the covenant between Jingwu and the Mohist family... It seemed to have nothing to do with their actions tonight?

Just as he was about to ask in detail, a bright light suddenly exploded in the air, accompanied by a sharp scream, interrupting his thoughts.

"Sounding Arrow?" Zeng Yu's eyes narrowed, and his face showed a bit of joy, "It seems that something is going on?"

And Qin Ke looked at the direction of the bright light, his pupils shrank suddenly - that direction was Gao Changgong's residence!

Chapter 595 So it was him?

Could it be that Abu failed and failed to transfer Gao Changgong in time?Thinking of this, Qin Ke suddenly felt somewhat ominous. If this is the case, what should we do?With Master Zhong's cultivation base and those twenty-odd little master masters, it is impossible for Gao Changgong, who is seriously ill, to resist.

"Little brother." Zeng Yu looked away from the bright light, put the big straight sword back into its sheath, "It seems that we must part ways here, if you can, listen to my advice, what happened tonight is not about you If you can participate, even if you win the bet with me, the master will not give up because of this, even if it is my fellow disciples, you will not be able to deal with it."

"See you tomorrow." Zeng Yu said the last sentence, and then he stomped his legs in the ruins, stirring up dust in the sky. Float over the top of the building.

His black back quickly disappeared from sight.

"It shouldn't be like this." Qin Ke kept looking at the night, his heart was cold. Although he took a deep breath as much as possible, he still couldn't restrain the panic in his heart, "Calm down... Ah Ke, think about it carefully, Is there any way...is there any way..."

But in front of such a powerful force, what can he do?The most desperate thing in this world is that no matter how shocking the resourcefulness is, it is impossible to be stronger than the overwhelming force after all, so there is a saying that one force can be reduced by ten.

His cultivation level is not bad for the younger generation, but in this city of tens of thousands of students, he is just an unknown person submerged in a crowd of people. There are 21 small master masters, and there is even a master-level master. Master Zhong, what can he do?

But after all, he couldn't do nothing as Zeng Yu said.Thinking of this, he stomped his feet fiercely, and his whole body also floated, following the air current, heading all the way towards the deep night.

Different from the bad situation he imagined, the small building where Gao Changgong lived, although the two sides were confronting each other at the moment, there was no direct brutal bloodshed after all.

In front of the small building, more than [-] people gathered behind Mr. Zhong, each of whom contained the aura of a practitioner, and after the arrow was fired, it was obvious that all the Confucian people in this house would gradually turn towards this place. edge gathered.

On the other hand, although Mrs. Lu stood upright, behind him were only the servants of the Lu family. Although there were a few practitioners and guards among them, the flickering flames in the lanterns in their hands had already betrayed their nervousness. state of mind.

Zeng Yu walked all the way in front of Master Zhong, and then respectfully saluted, "Master."

Master Zhong just glanced at him and asked indifferently, "Where's that child?"

Zeng Yu's face froze slightly, then he lowered his head and said in shame: "The disciple has broken the trust of the master, please punish the master."

Master Zhong seemed a little surprised, and asked softly, "Why? With your cultivation, that child shouldn't be able to escape from Li's grasp."

Zeng Yu shook his head and said nothing.

Master Zhong looked at Zeng Yu, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Is it because this act violates the morality in your heart?"

Zeng Yu bowed his head and said: "Yes. That little brother is not a wicked person, and he even has a bit of my Confucian style. The disciple arrested him because he was unkind. So the disciple made a bet with him. If he wins, he will let him go." He left. And the little brother has indeed won the bet, if this disciple arrests him again, it will be unrighteous. Disciple...cannot be a heartless and unrighteous person."

To his surprise, Master Zhong didn't get angry because of his pedantry, but instead gently stretched out a hand and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were full of love and appreciation.

"You're right." Master Zhong nodded and said, "As your teacher, I teach you the three characters of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette on weekdays. I hope you can take benevolence and righteousness as the principle of life. Then what face do I have to continue to be your teacher?"

Zeng Yu was slightly startled, then lowered his head and said seriously: "Master can't say that, this is all the fault of the disciple, what has it to do with the master?"

Mr. Zhong shook his head, his eyes were full of kindness: "One day is a teacher and a lifelong father. If the son is wrong, how can the father stay out of it? What's more, you are doing things based on what I teach, not doing things on your own. If you think You did something wrong, and the person who is really wrong should be my teacher."

"Master..." Zeng Yu looked at Master Zhong, his heart was agitated for a moment, his eyes were slightly rosy, and his voice was a little choked up, "I have been taught."

Only then did Master Zhong nodded in satisfaction, patted Zeng Yu's shoulder lightly, and said, "You stand aside first, I still have something to say to Master Lu."

Zeng Yu nodded, then took a few steps back respectfully, and didn't stop until Master Zhong was behind him. When he straightened his body again, it seemed that he was straighter than before. Like the big straight sword, it shot straight into the sky.

In front of him, Master Zhong and Master Lu came together face to face, each could see each other's face, and there was a faint candlelight flickering in their pupils.

The Mojiaji Shangxue Palace claims to have tens of thousands of students, but there are only about [-] people who can serve as the head teachers of each school. After all, to sit in this position, not only must be outstanding ability, be able to form a school of its own, but also must be the cooperation of the students. Support is not so easy.

However, those who can achieve these two points are indeed enough to prove the great talents in their chests. Even if they leave the Jishang Academy, they are enough to be regarded as honored guests in any country, which is enough to prove the weight of the title of the head teacher.

Master Zhong and Master Lu are exactly such people.

"Master Lu, why don't we take a step to talk." Master Zhong looked at the obviously displeased expression on Master Lu's face, but it was quite understandable—if it was him, his house was invaded by a group of men in black in the middle of the night, and This group of people in black were even colleagues and juniors whom he had met quite a few times in his daily life. I am afraid that he would be angry because of this, and even wanted to draw his sword to face each other.

What happened tonight was entirely a decision he made after discussing with Dr. Shang, and he didn't reveal anything to Master Lu, because any leak might lead to the revelation of the matter.

Fortunately, things went well...Master Zhong thought of what he had sensed in that small building with his spiritual power, and thought that person should be inside, although he didn't know why his spirit couldn't penetrate and sense more Things, if you want to do this, you must be a master in the master realm.

"I don't dare to do it. I just want to know, Master Zhong came here wearing black clothes late at night, is it possible that he is borrowing a step to talk to me? Do I have to prepare another pot of tea, and watch the moon with you late at night, reciting poems?" Right?" Master Lu stared at Master Zhong unceremoniously.

Hearing these words, Master Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, facing Master Lu with the most respectful gesture, he bowed and saluted to express his apology.

Mrs. Lu's eyes were also slightly surprised, and then he also returned a salute.

Not everyone in the Mohist school can afford such a great gift from Master Zhong. Although he is also the head teacher, Master Lu stays away from the court and ignores state affairs. Naturally, it is rare to see Master Zhong with such a respectful attitude.

After saluting each other, Master Lu did not insist anymore, but walked side by side with Master Zhong to a gazebo next to the small building, feeling the cool night breeze, sitting opposite each other, talking softly, and at the same time, The figure of Qin Ke hiding on the top of the eaves also slowly disappeared, and he did not know where he went.

……

"Master Lu, please forgive me for this matter. It's not that I deliberately flattered Master Lu. It's just that this matter is too important, so I can only do this." Master Zhong looked at Master Lu and said slowly: "Once this matter is over , I will definitely bring a big gift and personally come to the door to apologize to Mrs. Lu."

Mrs. Lu shook his head. After the salute just now, he no longer doubted Mr. Zhong's sincerity, but tonight has not passed, and some things must be opened up: "Master Zhong took his disciples to sneak into my room late at night. The house, it seems that it is inevitable? I just don’t know what in my house is worthy of Mr. Zhong’s attention? I brought so many masters at once?”

"Master Lu has always ignored government affairs, so he probably doesn't know much about some things. In fact, Dr. Shang and I have been investigating this matter for half a month, and it was only today that I found out that he is in Master Lu's mansion." Having said that, Master Zhong suddenly stretched out his hand, and on the smooth stone table in the gazebo, slowly wrote two words with one index finger, and then continued: "Master Lu will not pretend not to know this person, will he?"

There was no tea on the stone table, and Master Zhong wrote two words empty-handed, so even if Master Lu continued to read, it was impossible for him to read the words on the table, but with his eyesight, he could naturally see that Master Zhong's fingers Write the strokes, understand who he is talking about.

"Master Zhong is looking for him? Or is he going to catch him?" Master Lu said calmly, "If you want to find him, you don't have to bring so many experts to sneak in at night like this. But if you want to catch him, I'm a little puzzled." , this person has not violated the laws of the country, and secondly, he has not disrespected the master, why should he do this? Could it be that the master has some personal grievances with him?"

"Of course I don't have any personal grievances with him." Master Zhong shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I still have a feeling of respect for him. You should have heard what he did back then. If possible, I hope I can have a few glasses of wine with him in this gazebo."

"So he has triggered the law of the country?" Master Lu said.

"No." Master Zhong is so smart, he can naturally hear the irony in Master Lu's words, and said with a wry smile: "Why did Master Lu say that? Of course he did not violate the laws of the country, but there are some things that I have to do And for this. I just want to invite him to stay in the organ city for a few days, or... send him away from Jicheng."

Master Zhong looked at Master Lu frowning, but he was not in a hurry, and continued, "Master Lu should also know that the Mo family is troubled now. Everything in the court is unstable, and the Tang army is raging in the east. Although the general... ...Or Zhongwuhou has basically stabilized after turning the tide, but now Canghai has dealt a heavy blow to my Mohist family. Because of this, I have to discuss with Dr. Shang to stabilize the Mohist family's internal worries first, so as not to cause further troubles."

"Stay here for a few days? Or are you actually trying to imprison him?" Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "I've heard of the name of the organ city, the Heavenly Prison. But why do you think he will readily agree? Or, Mr. Zhong, you want to fight him in this city of Ji, turn the world upside down, and then lock him up?"

"If it's possible, of course I don't have to." Zhong Fuzi sighed: "The past grievances between him and the giant can be considered, since he returned to Jicheng this time, he must want to do something, and it is not my Mohist's blessing. "

Of course, Master Lu knew about the "past grievances" that Master Zhong mentioned. After all, his real age was much older than he appeared on the outside, and old friends of the same generation often sighed about those past events in private.

Master Zhong wrote two characters with his fingers, and it was these two characters that caused chaos in the court that year.

Public lose.

Chapter 596 It's All Patients

"But what happened back then has already been settled. Didn't Juzi promote his younger generation to Xingzhou as the county guard this time?"

Master Zhong shook his head and sighed. In his opinion, the people of Luyue still lacked understanding of the affairs of the court, so he continued to explain: "The public loser and him are two different things. The giant promotes the public loser because he values ​​the public loser Yinxue His talent is not to please him. And his coming to Jicheng this time is naturally tantamount to breaking contact with the public loser. He is a master at the level of a master, and he was the chief instructor of mechanism skills at Jishang Academy back then. It turns a blind eye."

"But he is still my patient, you should know my rules." Lu Yueren said solemnly: "I can't take care of the court affairs, and I won't take care of them."

In the entire Jishang Academy, from the head teacher to the students, they all know that Mr. Lu is an idler with only two hobbies. The first is to stay in the Jishang Academy to study medicine, and the second is to stay in the Jishang Academy to study medicine. It is to take the disciples on a trip to find some rare medicinal materials in the world.

Because of his obsession with medical skills, he even leveled the entire garden of the mansion given by the giant and planted medicinal herbs, which aroused criticism from many people.

As for the government, he never mentioned anything about it, and even taught his disciples and younger generations: "My family of doctors learns the art of saving lives and healing the wounded, and seeks the virtue of helping the common people. , it would be better to throw away the medicine box earlier and learn some tricks instead."

That's what he said, and naturally he did the same thing, no matter whether he was facing the giant or Mr. Zhong, the rhetoric was the same.

Of course, Mr. Zhong also knows the character of Lu Yueren, and even the reason why he made such a bad move tonight is related to Lu Yueren's attitude. If Lu Yueren really cares about state affairs, maybe the two of them can discuss and do things, naturally there is no need To such an extent.

He glanced at his disciples, then turned his gaze to the small building, staring deeply: "Master Lu, do you disagree with my actions?"

"You already knew the result, why ask me?" Lu Yueren said with a touch of sarcasm: "I have always believed that doctors should not have distracting thoughts, let alone selfishness. If they can't keep this point, they are not worthy to do it." A doctor. Master Zhong has the heart to help the world and educate the people. This is a good thing. I have always admired it. It's a pity that I am just a small person and let Master Zhong down."

The Chief Physician of Jishang Academy, of course, cannot be a small person, but since he said so, he has naturally expressed his attitude.

Master Zhong's face was also a little ugly, but he also knew that he could not blame the Luyue people. After all, people in Jishang Academy were free to come and go, no matter what they thought, it was reasonable.But since he is a Mohist courtier, he must do something that should be done.

"Then... can only be offended." Master Zhong sighed softly: "Although it is not my wish, this matter is related to the safety of the Mohist family, and we all have to do it. In the future, we will bring all the disciples to plead guilty to Master Lu. .”

After finishing speaking, he stood up slowly. Wei'an's figure was like a slowly rising mountain, and the light in his eyes became more and more firm, even revealing a touch of golden color from the bottom of his eyes, which is his profound spiritual cultivation. For the light that appears.

In fact, before Wang Xuanwei became a sage and passed away, he was the top spiritual master of the Mo family. No one knew what step he had reached, maybe he could take that step at any time, with just a thought.

But at this moment, the people of Luyue looked at Mr. Zhong's tall figure but showed a playful smile, and said, "But I don't understand one thing. Mr. Zhong came to my mansion to look for Gongshu, why did he come to this small building?" ?”

Master Zhong frowned slightly, as if he had sensed what Lu Yueren meant, and asked seriously, "What does Master Lu mean by this?"

"It's good that you are looking for Gongshu Pan, but Gongshu Ban has already left my mansion three days ago, and your news is still a step late. Even if you and the people you brought searched my mansion tonight, I'm afraid it will be impossible. Then find another Gongshu out of thin air." Master Lu said quietly.

"Impossible." Master Zhong changed his face slightly, his sharp eyes seemed to want to see some flaws in Lu Yueren's expression, "But I clearly sensed that in the small building..."

"There is indeed a good patient in the small building." Master Lu interrupted him: "But why does Master think that person is Gong Shuxiang? In my opinion, Master should have no reason to deal with him."

A gust of cool wind blew slightly on Mr. Zhong's body, and the cold moonlight seemed to have formed a layer of frost on his chest.

Master Zhong took a deep breath and shouted heavily, "Zeng Yu!"

"Yes, Master." Hearing Master Zhong's voice, Zeng Yu subconsciously clenched the hilt of the big straight sword at his waist.

"You take people into the small building." Master Zhong was in a rather restless mood at the moment, and even his voice was much rougher than usual, and then he even flicked his sleeves suddenly, turned and walked out of the pavilion, "Forget it, I'll go in person."

The small building was still as quiet as night, and in the room without candles, Abu and four Qingzhou ghost riders were guarding Gao Changgong's bed. shaking.

And Qin Ke, who managed to get into the small building from the outside, sat on a chair and rested quietly with his eyes closed.

In the fight with Zeng Yu, most of his energy and blood had been consumed. If he hadn't held his breath, he would have doubted whether he would be able to enter the small building under such circumstances.

But it turns out that his concealment technique is more effective than he imagined. On the other hand, although these Confucian students are strong, they are not particularly good at sneaking in at night, so when he detoured from the darkness Over the high wall, straight up to the eaves of the small building, without being noticed by others.

Of course, if Master Zhong still put his spiritual perception here, he would have no chance at all. It seems that compared with Wang Xuanwei before his sanctification, this Master Zhong has a stronger spiritual perception, not only in Jishang Academy during the day You can detect his eavesdropping, and you can easily catch his hiding place at night...

These people are monsters!

Qin Ke thought so in his heart, and at the same time his mood became more and more heavy. If such a monster came in from outside the door, how would he resist it?No, in Gao Changgong's situation, even if Master Zhong hadn't come, it was impossible for them to face such an expert.

I don't know if God deliberately wanted to play a joke on them, but everyone in this room is still unaware of the changes in the situation outside.

After Qin Ke was frustrated twice in front of Master Zhong, he no longer dared to use the technique of wind to spy on everything about Master Zhong, so he missed the short but very important conversation between him and the Luyue people, otherwise he would be very big now. You can honestly wait for Master Zhong to bring someone in without worrying about Gao Changgong getting hurt.

There were slight footsteps on the stairs of the small building, and it seemed that several people were walking steadily up step by step, constantly... approaching here.

Qin Ke felt that his heart was tightened suddenly, and at the same time as he opened his eyes, one hand had unsheathed the Bodhisattva sword and pointed it at the door of the room.

At the same time, he could also feel the heavy breathing of Abu and the four Qingzhou ghost riders, but none of them retreated, and there seemed to be no death in their eyes, only the fighting intent to die.

"I don't really want to die here." Qin Ke murmured, but he also knew that this kind of thing couldn't help himself. He went out and poured into every meridian, making him full of strength again.

Don't want to die, but it doesn't mean you don't dare to die.

After leaving Daoxiang Village, he has more things worth protecting, not only his master, but also Abu, Cai Yan, Gao Yishui...even Gao Changgong, so he must be braver, even in the face of a strong enemy. I don't want to give up half a point.

The sound of footsteps finally approached, only separated by a layer of not-so-thick wooden door, the man seemed to be waiting for something outside the door, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Qin Ke felt his beating heart, and the Bodhisattva sword had already formed a line with his arm, as if flesh and blood had grown between the two, and each had become a part of the other's body.

And at the same time that the door was slightly cracked, Qin Ke suddenly shouted, and stabbed out with a sword!

Chapter 597 Come!I can still... I can still...

A burst of energy pierced through the door, followed by the Bodhisattva Sword, like a poisonous dragon, showing its cold teeth, and the two murderous intents of piercing the cloud and breaking the mist arrived at a tall and tall door outside the door almost at the same time. In front of the figure.

However, Qin Ke couldn't feel the touch of cutting flesh and blood, because what burst out from outside the door was a force like an explosion!

With a groan of pain, Qin Ke flew back upside down and slammed into the wardrobe, smashing the whole wardrobe into pieces.

"Cough, cough..." The dust raised by the broken wardrobe was inhaled into Qin Ke's lungs, and the injury on his chest also started to hurt, which made him cough uncontrollably just as he landed.

And in the corner of his eyes, he saw the four Qingzhou ghost riders meeting the man with a very tacit pace. A surging wind was formed, followed by a one-time release of strength, stabbing at that figure with the intention of killing.

The cultivation of the four Qingzhou ghost riders are all in the realm of small masters, and their strength is strong. Although they are not as good as Zeng Yu, the army has their own set of combined attack techniques, and they have defeated many masters who underestimated them.

But obviously this master is too high.

The glorious record can't help them improve their strength. Compared with that tall figure, there is an unknown gap between them. Even if they try their best to fill that gap with death, it will be a drop in the bucket after all.

In the shadows, there seemed to be a faint light and shadow fluttering, and then a sharper edge than a short spear fluttered.
