"I would like to hear the details." Abbot Xuanci bowed. Although his expression was calm, his impression of Zhao Ji was not good. He had also heard of this prince's name. He was a wealthy and idle man who was enthusiastic about practicing Taoism. He was the initiator of the recent panic in the Zen sect. In addition to its status as an ancient Zen temple, Shaolin Temple is also the mainstay of the martial arts community in the Central Plains. The combination of many factors makes Abbot Xuanci naturally not fond of the restless Prince Duan. Zhao Ji turned a blind eye to Abbot Xuanci's cold attitude and just said: "I have a close friendship with Deputy Gang Leader Ma. This may seem impossible to outsiders, but I really have no need to deceive the two masters." Mrs. Ma nodded on the side, indicating that she agreed with Zhao Ji's words. The expressions of Abbot Xuanci and Master Zhiguang changed. This was all because they felt that the friendship between a royal prince and a beggar was a bit strange. However, they could not think of any reason for Zhao Ji to lie to them, so they just remained silent. Wait for the next words. After sighing, Zhao Ji added: "Long before Vice Gang Leader Ma was killed, he had predicted that this would happen, and came to visit Xiao Wang and explained some things to Xiao Wang. He hoped that if something unexpected happened, Xiao Wang would be safe. Wang can help take care of his affairs." Hearing this, the expressions of the three people in the room changed. Abbot Xuanci couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, since Deputy Gang Leader Ma has already expected this, why not. To take precautions as soon as possible? Did he know who would be harmful to him? " "This is what Xiao Wang admires about Deputy Gang Leader Ma. He knew that this act was dangerous, but he still decided to go ahead with it for the sake of the safety of the Beggar Clan and the Central Plains Wulin. On the way." Zhao Ji added: "Deputy Gang Leader Ma came to visit Xiao Wang before leaving. He told Xiao Wang about the life experience of Gang Leader Qiao of the Beggar Clan, and said that he had been cultivating and assisting Qiao in accordance with the last wishes of Gang Leader Wang over the years. Gang Leader, after years of observation, he feels that the decision made by Gang Leader Wang was not wrong. Although Gang Leader Qiao Fengqiao is a foreigner, his loyalty to the Beggar Clan and his adherence to the justice of the martial arts are obvious to all, and he has not let down Old Gang Leader Wang. "It's so good, so good. Gang Leader Qiao is loyal and courageous. Gang Leader Wang is brave and broad-minded. I'm really ashamed that I can't do that." Abbot Ci sighed, while Monk Zhiguang's expression on the side became a little unnatural. Previously, he was still blaming Qiao Feng for Ma Dayuan's death, but Zhao Ji gave him a slap in the face with these words. "Although the Beggar Gang is peaceful, it is not without hidden worries. Not long ago, some rumors suddenly spread in the Luoyang headquarters of the Beggar Gang, related to the life experience of Gang Leader Qiao Feng. This matter naturally attracted the attention of Deputy Gang Leader Ma, who sent people to go After tracing, but before finding the root cause, murders occurred one after another in the Beggar Clan, and many disciples who had just joined the gang were found dead in ditches. The deputy gang leader Ma concluded that this was a sinister conspiracy against the Beggar Clan, and wanted to use the life experience of Gang Leader Qiao. The mystery hit the now prosperous Beggar Gang and Gang Leader Qiao. "Zhao Ji continued: "Deputy Gang Leader Ma is worried about the future of the Beggar Gang, and he doesn't want Old Gang Leader Wang to waste all his hard work because of this conspiracy, but who is there. This conspiracy was brewing, but Deputy Gang Leader Ma had no choice but to visit the two masters. Once he came to meet the masters, everyone in the Beggar Clan was convinced by Gang Leader Qiao, and Gang Leader Qiao lived up to his trust, so he hoped. The two masters can let go of their bad feelings and stop bringing up the troubles in the past. Secondly, I also hope to ask the two masters about the details of what happened back then, so as to figure out who is causing trouble in the dark. I want to stir up old events to bring harm to the martial arts world." Having said this, Zhao Ji gave Monk Zhiguang a meaningful look, and then said: "Xiao Wang has a close relationship with Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and I wanted to help him, but Deputy Ma. The leader of the gang said that the matter started in the Jianghu and ended in the Jianghu, and after all, it was difficult to use external forces to solve it. He had known that since the other party wanted to stir up trouble, it must not be as simple as just fabricating rumors, or there might be other tricks to be used. He wanted to Eliminating this disaster by oneself may become an obstacle for the other party to quickly remove it. Therefore, before leaving, I paid a visit to Xiao Wang and said that if something unexpected happened to him during his trip, he hoped that Xiao Wang could take action to stabilize the situation. The Beggar Clan rose up in chaos, killing the hero Gang Leader Qiao, and ruining all the hard work of Gang Leader Wang." After Zhao Ji finished speaking, both monks bowed their heads in silence, especially Monk Zhiguang, whose expression became even brighter. It was as black as the bottom of a pot. Although Zhao Ji's words were not stated explicitly, the hidden meanings in them all pointed to him. And his remarks just now are consistent with Zhao Ji's words about the dark hand who plays tricks and fears that the world will be unstable. Master Xuanci also felt the hidden meaning in these words, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Master Zhiguang, his old friend for many years. He did not believe that Monk Zhiguang had sinister intentions, but if what Prince Duan said was really Ma Dayuan's last words, this matter was indeed worth discussing. From an emotional point of view, Xuan CiThe master believed that Monk Zhiguang was of noble character, but he really couldn't think of any reason for this prince to make such shady remarks, so he was in a dilemma for a while. After a long silence, the monk Zhiguang stood up again and said in a deep voice: "What I said before was all based on the matter. But in front of the prince, it is difficult to speak out and defend myself. I only ask the prince to give me a dagger. I am willing to speak in front of the prince. I'm trying to defend myself by cutting myself off from this old man!" Abbot Xuanci stood up quickly and said, "No, Master Zhiguang! I have been friends with you for many years, and I know that you are an upright person and would never do such a sinister thing. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. "As long as the reason for the murder of Deputy Gang Leader Ma is found out, Master, you will be clean." Zhao Ji saw that the old monk was still stubborn and showed no sign of surrender. It was clearly because of the presence of Abbot Xuanci that he had no way to defeat him. However, Zhao Ji was not frustrated or dissatisfied. If this old monk had been fishing for fame for decades, it would be difficult for him to pry open his mouth in a short period of time, and he had no intention of doing so. Seeing Monk Zhiguang's unspeakable expression of grievance, Zhao Ji just said: "Master, you are serious. You are upright and upright, and the world respects you. Xiao Wang really has no disrespect or slander towards you. He just relayed the last words of Deputy Gang Leader Ma, I don¡¯t mean anything against you, Master. I don¡¯t want to defend myself. Master, you don¡¯t need to say anything to Xiao Wang.¡± Secondly, I wanted to get some clues about Deputy Gang Leader Ma¡¯s last wish from the two masters, but the two masters seemed to be in the dark. Therefore, it seems that this second wish will be difficult to achieve. " Zhao Ji pondered. After a moment, he said: "No matter what, since Deputy Gang Leader Ma entrusted me with his care, and now that he is gone, I can't live up to his last wish. I don't know who is the person behind the conspiracy, but he actually dared to kill Deputy Gang Leader Ma , you may not just let it go. This conspiracy stems from the old incident. The two masters are both involved in the matter. It is for the sake of the two masters. I hope you can stay in Bianliang temporarily. Xiao Wang will arrange manpower to properly protect the two masters until this happens. Now that the matter is over, I will respectfully send the two masters off. "After hearing this, the two monks thought for a moment and realized that Zhao Ji's intention was to put them under house arrest. Therefore, both of them looked a little unnatural, especially Abbot Xuanci. He was in charge of Shaolin and had a great reputation in the martial arts world. How could he be willing to endure such treatment? However, Ma Dayuan's last words that Zhao Ji had previously conveyed touched him so much that it was difficult to make a decision for a while. Moreover, although the prince's attitude was polite, his words were soft yet strong. Master Xuanci had to think more about the bad consequences that would occur if he refused this arrangement. Monk Zhiguang said: "I can hardly defend myself. Whenever the prince makes any arrangements, as long as they can help things, I will accept them. But if this matter cannot be traced, will I be able to do it?" Have you stayed in Bianliang City all this time? I am alone. This is my hometown, so there are no taboos. However, Abbot Xuanci has a heavy responsibility in Shaolin. If he stays out for a long time, I am afraid that there will be chaos in Shaolin." Abbot Xuanci couldn't help but nod. This was exactly what he was worried about. It didn't matter if he stayed in Bianliang City, but the dignified Abbot of Shaolin was under house arrest. If word spread, it would be quite harmful to Shaolin's reputation in the world. . After hearing this, Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Xiao Wang is not an unreasonable person. I personally hope that the two masters can stay in Bianliang City, but I don't force it at all. This matter is completely left to the two masters to decide. If you If you don't want to stay, Xiao Wang will send the two masters out of the city without any obstruction." When Abbot Xuanci heard this, he didn't feel any lighter. Although Zhao Ji didn't force them on the surface, he was reasonable. , how could he just pat his butt and leave. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "In that case, I will stay in Bianliang City and I hope you will forgive me for disturbing the prince." Although Monk Zhiguang was in confusion, since Abbot Xuanci expressed his stance, he naturally had to do without. express. Moreover, he had a ghost in his heart and knew that his previous words were very suspicious. Only by staying with Abbot Xuanci could he temporarily stay safe. Once separated, it was unpredictable how he would be treated. While saying that he would also stay, Monk Zhiguang lamented in his heart, regretting why he came to Bianliang City and threw himself into a trap. After receiving the invitation from Master Guanyun, he thought he could build some friendship with Daxiangguo Temple, but he didn't expect that a prince would dig the hole. Unexpectedly, he stepped into the mud and was really helpless.
