Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 366 - Death of Xiao Feng
Zhu Danchen had a bitter face and complained: "Master, with your martial arts skills... why didn't you stop him?"

After all, he is his father-in-law...

Chu Pingsheng was neither sad nor happy, neither annoyed nor angry, and he spoke calmly and steadily: "Amitabha, all results are caused by causes, and all retributions are caused by karma."

Fu Sigui thought that he did it on purpose. This guy was not a monk when he should have been, and was more pure than anyone else in his six senses when he should not have been a monk.

The two retainers looked at each other, not knowing how to report to His Majesty when they returned. They traveled thousands of miles to deliver the treasure, but in the end the treasure ended up in a dog's stomach?

The pedestrians on both sides were also stunned. In this world, there are many people whose consciences have been eaten by dogs, but not many people whose things have been eaten by dogs.

Just as they were sitting in awkward silence, a sharp shout suddenly came from the crowd.

"Go to hell, you evil monk."

Accompanied by a dazzling cold light, a shining long sword shot out from behind the burly man in the green jacket and hit Chu Pingsheng on the back.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this sudden change, including the plainclothes bailiff who was beating up the scoundrel behind him.

However, what shocked everyone was that the tip of the sword was against the monk's robe and could not move any further. At this time, the monk's hands slightly opened and closed, and the long sword suddenly exploded with a click, breaking into many metal blocks less than an inch in size that fell to the ground with a clang. The attacker was also blown back by the recoil and knocked down a street stall selling candy men.

The few scoundrels who were beaten up in the back were almost scared to death. How could they afford to offend someone who broke the backstab sword with just a slight clap of his hands? In comparison, the person who just beat them up could be said to be a lifesaver.

Different from the onlookers, after confirming that the monk father was unharmed, Ah Zi looked carefully at the woman who was struggling to get up from the ground in front of her. Although the skin on her face was dry and cracked, her lips were covered with blisters, her hair was greasy and tangled, and the red hairpin in her hair was only half left, her dark green dress was tattered and dusty, but the eyes, the nose, and the face were clearly her sister Ah Zhu.

"Aju? It's you!"

Mu Wanqing, Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui also looked over in shock. It was none other than Ruan Xingzhu's eldest daughter Ah Zhu. However, she no longer had her former innocence and prettiness. She looked just like a female refugee.

Just now, Ah Zhu was slightly injured. After getting up, she did not run away. Instead, she staggered and staggered forward and slapped Chu Pingsheng again.

This palm was far less powerful than the previous stab. Not to mention Chu Pingsheng, even if it was a strong man, it would not be a big problem for him to take the blow.

Snapped.

The monk slapped her in the face, knocking her to the ground. She covered her face and looked at him with humiliation in her eyes.

"It was you who killed Brother Xiao. It was you...you bastard!"

Ah Zi was so angry that she walked over, grabbed her cheap sister by the collar, and slapped her hard: "Why don't you die with him?"

She didn't have much affection for Ah Zhu to begin with, not to mention that Ah Zhu was determined to kill her second father who had given her her current life.

"You...you hit me?"

Ah Zhu was stunned by her. After all, they were sisters.

"What's wrong with hitting you? Luckily, Dad is good at martial arts. If you had hurt him just now, I wouldn't have just slapped you." Ah Zi said fiercely, "What does your man's death have to do with Dad? Xiao was involved in the internal struggle between the Jurchens and the Khitans, and was beheaded and exposed by the Liao emperor. Can you blame my dad for this?"

A few days ago, when she woke up from a nap to find water to drink, she heard the conversation between her second father and her mother. They talked about the death of Wanyan Aguda, the damage to the strength of the Jurchen tribe, and the internal disagreements on how to deal with Xiao Feng. Wanyan Yingge blamed Aguda for provoking a powerful enemy because of personal feelings and dragging down the entire tribe, so she sent people to tie up Xiao Feng and take him to Shangjing to seek peace.

Yelu Yanxi was also unwilling to fight to the death with the Jurchens, lest he be taken advantage of by the Western Xia and the Song people, so he agreed to Wanyan Yingge's peace proposal, and then convicted Xiao Feng for treason by joining forces with Wanyan Aguda. Last time, he was sent back to Liao by Su Xinghe and others, and some people pleaded for the King of the Southern Courtyard. This time, not only was no one sympathetic, but they all wrote letters to severely punish him. After all, from a national strategic point of view, the banner of Aguda's rebellion was that the Liao emperor was stupid, which was unfair to Xiao Feng, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the culprit of the conflict. From a personal standpoint, Wanyan Aguda's fate was a lesson for us. God knows whether being too close to Xiao Feng would provoke revenge from the monk Kongxu, so whether it was for the Liao Dynasty or for individuals, a dead Xiao Feng was a good Xiao Feng.

Therefore, the King of Nanyuan during the reign of Yelu Hongji was beheaded in public and his body was left exposed for seven days as a warning.

"Wanyan Aguda threatened to kill my father, but he was stabbed to death by my father. What's wrong? Didn't he deserve to die? The one who killed your man was a Khitan, the Liao emperor, and you came to seek revenge on my father. I'm telling you, if mother knew what you did, she would sever the mother-daughter relationship with you and would never talk to you again."

Ah Zi loosened her grip, and Ah Zhu fell to the ground, howling. As Ah Zi said, she never thought that Xiao Feng would end up like this, and her inertia made her vent all her resentment on Monk Kongxu.

Chu Pingsheng thought to himself that people always say that there are few loyal ministers at the end of the dynasty. Who should be blamed? The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. The emperor treats his subjects and the people as pawns that can be sacrificed at any time, and expects his subjects and the people to be of the same mind as the emperor? Haha.

Xiao Feng, who lacked political wisdom, eventually died in the political struggle. It can only be said that this ending was very Xiao Feng's.

"Now that things have come to this, I will show you a way out for your mother's sake."

"Dad, what do you care what she does?"

Ah Zi looked unhappy.

"She is your sister after all."

"I don't have such a sister." Ah Zi curled her lips, disapproving, and said hatefully, "She thinks that others owe her something and that she should obey her. Xiao Feng is nothing to me. He goes against Dad, and Dad is better at martial arts than him. Isn't it normal for him to be slapped to death? On the other hand, if the two armies are on the battlefield and each serves his own master, and he is the one with better martial arts, will he let Dad go?"

"OK OK."

Chu Pingsheng rubbed her head and turned to look at Ah Zhu: "Murong Fu is now the prince consort of Xixia, and there are not many useful people around him. You should go find your former master."

Ah Zhu was shocked when she heard this.

Xiao Feng was dead, and with her martial arts, it was difficult for her to kill Monk Kongxu for revenge. What should she do next? Marry someone randomly? Impossible. Find a nunnery to become a nun? That was a way out.

However, in comparison, she would be more accepting of continuing to help Murong Fu.

"Zhu Danchen, Fu Sigui."

"Grandmaster……"

"You two escort Ah Zhu to Xixia. I will write a letter to Emperor Xuanren regarding the matter of the Zhennan Prince's treasure, asking him not to hold you accountable for failing to protect the treasure. How do you think?"

The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and gladly accepted the order, saying, "Master, rest assured, we will escort Miss Ah Zhu safely to Xingqing Mansion and hand her over to Master Murong."

Chu Pingsheng looked at the passers-by who were watching the excitement and waved his sleeves: "Go away."

Suddenly, the wind blew violently, sand flew everywhere and everyone turned their heads away, covering their faces.

After a while the wind died down, and when they looked carefully again, they found that the monk's family of four had disappeared, and only the scholar, the farmer and the female assassin were left.

The plainclothes bailiff behind him was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Monk Kongxu was truly an inhuman being.

……

After Chu Pingsheng returned to Chanhe Manor, he asked A Zi and You Tanzhi to deliver the things to Ruan Xingzhu. He went to Wang Yuyan's room, teased his own son Chaoyun, and then went up to the piano platform. As usual, he burned incense, plucked the strings, and played music facing the lake.

What could Ah Zhu do in the Xixia Princess's mansion? She was just helping Li Qinglu take care of the children. She was said to be serving Master Murong, but in reality she was serving his offspring. After many twists and turns, she could not escape the fate of being his slave.

Why bother……

After playing the piece "Yangchun Baixue", he let go and drank tea. After finishing the tea, he stood up, gathered the snow-white curtain that was swaying in the wind, and looked out at the calm waters of Taihu Lake.

Now that we have finished our business here, it's time to move on to the next world.
