281: Don't, don't do it, the prince asked me to bring you a message
The forbidden area of the Five Poison Sect, in the cellar.
The Gu mother, Li Chunhua, exhaled a breath of foul air, and then slowly opened her eyes.
I just had a battle with King Ruyang. As I had been in seclusion for too long, I already had a lot of pent-up energy in my chest, and I had another big battle with King Ruyang.
This caused the foul air to get stuck in her internal organs, making her feel very uncomfortable. Now that the foul air was out, her body felt much more comfortable.
After a short breath, she had the strength to fight again. At this time, Li Chunhua stood up and saw several disciples of the Five Poison Sect guarding the cave entrance. Not far away, Linglong was squatting on the ground, scratching something on the ground with a branch.
The Gu mother smiled and said, this girl never forgets to play.
Thinking of this, he said to the guard beside him: "Go and call the Saint to me."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately said, "Yes."
Then he went to call Linglong.
When Linglong heard that her mother wanted to see her, she was very happy and ran over quickly.
"Mother!"
After entering the cave, Linglong bowed to the Gu mother.
Li Chunhua said at this time: "Come here quickly and let mother see you. You have suffered a lot these days."
Linglong said: "I didn't suffer much!"
Li Chunhua said: "You haven't suffered yet. I have heard about your stupid brother's actions!"
"Mother!"
"Um?"
Li Chunhua looked at Linglong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to ask mother."
"No, no, these are two different things!"
Mother Gu looked at Linglong's confused look and asked, "Is it one or two?"
Linglong said: "Two, two."
Gu Mu asked, "Oh, which two?"
Linglong said: "First, I want the Dragon Blood Ganoderma!"
Gu Mu said, "Oh, I heard about this from the palace guard elder. Is it your friend Chen Jiusi who needs it?"
Linglong said: "Mother, I'm afraid I still need to talk to you about this matter. It's like this..."
Linglong told the story of how she saved Chen Jie, and then how Zhao Ya exhausted her own phoenix blood to save Chen Jie.
Upon hearing this, Gu Mu was somewhat moved and said, "This, this world actually has such a wonderful woman."
After saying this, Gu Mu said, "I know about this matter. Tell me about the second matter."
After hearing this, Linglong said, "The second thing is, mother, can you please not kill my brother? He, he... is also very pitiful!"
"Um!"
Mother Gu looked at Linglong and said, "Linglong, he is about to kill you, and you are still begging for him?"
Linglong said: "No matter what, he is my brother!"
Hearing this, Gu Mu looked at Linglong, sighed and said, "Well, I know about this matter too. Go and notify them. In half an incense stick of time, summon all the disciples of the Five Poison Sect who are above the rank of Dharma Protector to come to Jinchi for a meeting."
"yes."
After hearing this, Linglong nodded slightly and turned to leave, but at this time Gu Mu said: "By the way, call Chen Jiusi as well."
"Why!"
After hearing this, Linglong responded and then jumped away.
Mother Gu looked at Linglong who was walking out and thought, this child is still too young, it is too early to let her stand on her own.
Thinking of this, the Gu Mother shook her head, went into the cave, closed her eyes and waited for everyone to arrive.
Soon half an incense stick of time was up.
At this time, a group of people gathered beside the golden pool. These people were all of higher status than Dharma Protectors. The Dharma Protectors in the Five Poison Sect were all masters of the Changhong Realm.
For example, Turan from the Poison Scorpion Sect is a guardian, and there are also the three brothers Snake Man, Snake Rou and Snake Ox from the Yin Snake Sect, and Toad Da and Toad Er from the Golden Toad Sect, all of them are guardians of the Five Poison Sect.
There were still quite a few people, but Turan was killed by Chen Jie, and the three brothers of the Snake family were all prisoners.
However, these are the inner sect guardians of each sect, and there are also outer sect guardians. For example, the snake-playing guardian that Chen Jie met in the inn when he first entered Xiangxi was the outer sect elder of the Yinshe Sect.
Most of those who can attend the meeting today are at the level of inner door guardians.
People gathered here and talked to each other.
Chen Jie was in the queue of elders, but he didn't speak, and the elders who came didn't speak either.
Elder Golden Toad and Elder Shougong still looked a little pale. They sat there with their eyes closed, resting.
Elder Centipede's face was even paler at this time, and he was carried here.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a voice came out: "Mrs. Gu is here!"
After hearing this, everyone turned around and immediately saw Gu Mother coming over. Everyone immediately saluted: "Greetings, Lady Gu Mother!"
After hearing the shout, everyone looked over and saw the Gu Mother coming over under the protection of a group of guards.
The Gu Mother came directly to the high platform prepared in the front. Everyone immediately bowed and put their hands together over their chests and said, "Greetings, Gu Mother!"
Seeing this, Gu Mu said, "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Gu mother!"
Everyone immediately bowed, and then the Gu Mother said, "I have been in seclusion for the past few days. Thank you for your hard work. You have just seen a joke."
"I have called you all here today for two things. The first is to deal with the matter of Na Su's conspiracy to take the throne!"
"Secondly, it is about how we should deal with the imperial court's encirclement and suppression next."
The Gu Mother didn't waste any words and directly told him what he needed to do. Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and then they all looked at the Gu Mother expectantly.
Without the Gu Mother, it would be difficult for them to handle these matters.
For example, Na Su is the Holy Son, and in terms of status, he is more honorable than the elders. It is not right for you to let the elders deal with him.
Only the leader can deal with him. Either the Gu Mother returns, or Linglong becomes the official princess. In the end, they have to wait until the Gu Mother comes out.
At this time, the Gu Mother looked at everyone present, lingered on Chen Jie's face for a moment, and then moved her eyes away.
Then he said, "Okay, we have to do things one by one, and eat one bite at a time. As the saying goes, we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. Let's deal with the matter of Na Su first."
At this point, Gu Mu said, "Bring Nasu and Elder Snake."
After hearing this, the people below immediately pulled the two of them to the side of the golden pool.
Then the Gu mother looked at Na Su and said, "Na Su!"
Na Su had kept his head down at this time. When he heard what the Gu Mother said, his whole body trembled and he didn't dare to look up.
Mother Gu glanced at Na Su and said coldly, "You dare not take responsibility for what you did, you coward."
After saying this, he turned to look at Granny Snake and said, "Elder Snake, what do you want to say?"
When Granny Snake saw Gu Mother, she said directly, "Gu Mother, I know I am wrong and I plead guilty."
Mother Gu said, "Very good. If that is the case, then I hereby declare that Elder Snake will be stripped of his position as an elder and his martial arts training will be abolished! Regarding the forbidden secret room, reflect on your mistakes!"
Hearing this, Granny Snake trembled all over. Just as she was about to beg for mercy, Gu Mother said, "Elder Snake, you should thank Linglong. If it weren't for Linglong's plea, you wouldn't be able to save your life today. It's a waste that Linglong values you so much!"
After saying this, Granny Snake immediately lowered her head, then looked at Linglong who was standing on the other side of the platform and said, "I accept the punishment, and..."
She looked at Linglong, and after a moment of silence, she said, "It's your mother-in-law who is sorry for you!"
After saying this, the Snake Grandma fell silent and stopped talking. The Gu Mother simply waved her hand and someone immediately took the Snake Grandma away.
At this time, the Gu mother looked at Na Su who was kneeling on the ground without looking up and said: "Na Su, you must plead guilty!"
Na Su was silent after hearing this. He didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "What crime have I committed?"
Mother Gu frowned, and Linglong said, "Brother, stop being so stubborn and say something soft to mother."
Hearing this, Na Su looked at Linglong and said, "Haha, Linglong, shut up. You win. Now you can laugh at your useless brother as much as you want!"
"Oh, brother, how could I laugh at you!"
Na Su looked at Linglong and said, "Linglong, to be honest, I envy you. I envy that you, as a girl, are born with the right to inherit the position of the leader."
"Although you are stupid, this does not prevent you from being the best candidate for succession in the eyes of mother and the elders."
"And no matter what I do, I cannot get praise from my mother or recognition from the elders."
"Ask yourselves, are my talents far superior to Linglong's? Am I far superior to Linglong's in martial arts? Am I far superior to Linglong's in reputation among the Han people?"
"I went to the battlefield when I was fifteen, fighting the Han people and making great contributions to the Holy Church. All the scars on my body were left at that time!"
"In the battle at Poison Dragon Mountain, I was stabbed six times. If I hadn't been lucky in the end, I would have died at Poison Dragon Mountain. In that battle, Elder Jinchan, you were there. Tell me, have I made any contribution to the Holy Church?"
Na Su roared at Elder Jin Chan.
Elder Jin Chan fell silent when he heard this. In the battle at Poison Dragon Mountain, Na Su was indeed on the verge of life and death. He remembered that his intestines were chopped out and he almost lost his life.
In this respect, he has made great contributions to the holy religion.
Then Na Su continued, "There was also the battle at Centipede Ridge. Elder Centipede was the commander-in-chief, but they were surrounded. I led five thousand elite soldiers and arrived in time to rescue Elder Centipede. That time, I traveled for five consecutive days and nights, and two horses died of exhaustion. Elder Centipede, shouldn't you remember my kindness?"
Elder Centipede fell silent.
At this time, Na Su continued, "The area 200 miles south of Xiangxi was once the territory of the Han people. I conquered it with my troops."
"Now that they have this piece of land, it has solved the survival problems of many Miao people. They can grow food, raise chickens and ducks, and live in peace and contentment. But when they are living in peace and contentment, have they never thought about who is carrying the burden?"
"You, you, and all of you, who dares to say that you have never received any benefits from me? If I say that you have made great contributions to Miaojiang, no one among you will refute me, right?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Na Su has indeed made contributions to Miaojiang, and his contributions cannot be erased.
"But what about her!"
Na Su pointed at Linglong and asked, "Where is she?"
"What contribution has she made to Miaojiang? Just because she is a girl, she is the first successor to the Five Poison Sect?"
"Why? I don't accept it!"
"I won't give in even if I die!"
Na Su gritted his teeth and roared angrily, his voice hoarse, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
Linglong was yelled at by Su and lowered her head with a look of grievance.
She felt that what Na Su said was right. Why did she have more rights than her brother to inherit the Five Poison Sect?
Linglong thought so, but at this moment, the Gu Mother, who had been silent, spoke up. She glanced at Na Su calmly and said, "Are you done?"
Seeing that his mother was so indifferent, Na Su was silent for a moment and said, "I'm done."
Mother Gu then said, "Very good, I heard everything you said. What you said is indeed true. You have made great contributions to the Five Poison Sect."
Na Su stared at Gu Mother in shock. He didn't expect that Gu Mother would acknowledge his achievements. But at this moment, Gu Mother continued, "However, even if you have made contributions to the Five Poison Sect, the Five Poison Sect's rules cannot be changed. Men cannot inherit the position of Sect Leader."
"And I have compensated you. Did any of the Saints in the past have the power you have, to be able to control nearly half of the Five Poison Sect's troops?"
"Really, if you behaved honestly, you would definitely be the most influential son of the Five Poison Sect, but you are not satisfied."
"You actually wanted to assassinate Linglong. I ask you how you can bear the responsibility for killing your sister!"
Na Su was stunned for a moment, then he said, "I am indeed sorry for Linglong, but a real man should not hesitate. If you hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have taken such a risk."
Gu mother asked: "What about me, mother?"
"You didn't follow the rules to inject me with the silkworm venom, causing me to almost fall into a deep sleep. What do you want to do? Are you going to kill my mother?"
Na Su was silent after hearing this, and then he said, "No one can be a hero without poison. I am better than Linglong in every aspect, so I should be the leader!"
Na Su remained stubborn and believed that the Five Poison Sect was unfair and discriminated against him because he was a man.
After hearing this, Gu Mother looked at Na Su and said, "Haha, Na Su, I know you are dissatisfied in your heart and think that you are better than Ling Long in everything, but I tell you, you are far worse than Ling Long."
"Mother, even if you are partial to Linglong, you shouldn't lie like that. You said I am far worse than Linglong. How am I worse?"
Na Su was extremely dissatisfied. He thought, "I am worse than Linglong. What nonsense is this? How am I worse?"
Thinking of this, he directly questioned the Gu Mother, who said, "Just one thing, everything you have done is nothing compared to her!"
"What!"
Na Su shouted unconvinced, and Gu Mu said, "Linglong, you have been recognized by Master Jin!"
Um!!
After hearing this, everyone in the field was stunned, and then they realized that, yes, they were almost led astray by Na Su just now.
Saint Linglong, that is someone who is recognized by Master Jin. You should know that Miaojiang's current foundation is Master Jin!
As long as Master Jin is here, Miaojiang will not face a real catastrophe. Just like now, the imperial army is surrounding the mountain, and they are hiding in this cave. With Master Jin's protection, they are invincible. Just based on this point, how can Na Su compare to him?
Na Su was also stunned at this time, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
As a person from Miaojiang, how could he not know the importance of Mr. Jin.
Yes, Linglong is the person recognized by Mr. Jin. Since Mr. Jin recognizes her, she has innate advantages. Compared with Mr. Jin's recognition, her own military exploits are simply ridiculous.
Nasu was silent.
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to. In front of Mr. Jin, his contribution could really be ignored.
His silence was deafening!
After a while, Gu Mother continued, "Na Su, besides this, there is another thing you will never be able to compare to Linglong, and this is also the most important reason why you can't become the leader!"
"What!"
Hearing this, Na Su stared at the Gu Mother. The Gu Mother was silent for a moment and then said two words: "Mercy!"
After hearing this, Na Su was completely dumbfounded.
Kindness, is this thing important?
Mother Gu looked at Na Su and said, "Yes, Na Su, you lack kindness. If you don't believe me, ask everyone, would they rather have a kind person as the leader or a violent person as the leader?"
After hearing this, the people below immediately said, "Of course he is a kind person. If you want to be a violent person above you, you will always be worried about your life."
"That's right, we don't want to follow violent people. It's better to be merciful. If you make a small mistake, at least you don't have to be severely punished or even lose your life!"
…
The words from the person below stunned Su for a moment. It was actually like this!
His eyes widened. He thought he was a wise and powerful, invincible monarch who would lead the Miao area to prosperity.
However, he did not expect that the Miao people did not share his desire to return to the Central Plains and compete with the Han people for supremacy again.
In Na Su's opinion, if the Mulan people can sit in this world, then he, the Miao people, can naturally sit in this world.
But he overlooked that the Miao people had lived in the mountains for many years and had become accustomed to life in the mountains. They were no longer like their ancestors, who were obsessed with fighting their way out of the mountains and fighting the Han people again.
Na Su sat down on the ground dejectedly.
It turns out that he was the only one who had been working hard all along.
Na Su felt like crying at this moment.
Tears flowed down his eyes uncontrollably, and he suddenly realized that the things he had cared about all these years might not be what the Miao people cared about.
He is a complete tragedy.
After figuring all this out, he looked up and saw his mother's eyes. He remembered that he also once had maternal love. It seemed that except for the position of leader, she gave him everything else.
But he wanted to kill her to prevent future troubles.
He looked at his sister Linglong again. At this time, Linglong's eyes were full of concern, which was the care a sister had for her brother.
Although he once wanted to kill her, at this time, she still cared about him.
Once upon a time, their relationship was so good.
I was in my prime at that time, and she loved to stick to me, follow me around, and call me brother.
At that time, he just felt extremely annoyed, but now thinking about it, he regretted it.
It was he who destroyed this brother-sister relationship with his own hands!
Thinking of this, he felt speechless about the situation that followed. He looked at Jin Chi standing aside, then accelerated and rushed directly towards Jin Chi.
End it!
End this dirty life of yours quickly.
Power has blinded him, and his unwillingness has made him hate everything. Now, looking back, he finds that he has gone further and further astray.
He didn't want to live anymore at this moment, so he rushed directly towards the golden pool with the determination to die.
But just as he was about to fall into the golden pool, a powerful force suddenly grabbed him and made him hover in the air.
At the same time, he heard Linglong's voice beside his ear: "Brother, don't..."
Na Su turned around and saw Linglong's face full of anxiety, which was genuine anxiety.
Na Su's heart was touched for some reason, and on the other side, he saw Gu Mu holding Na Su with one hand, and said with a dark face: "When encountering trouble, you only know how to escape, Na Su, if this is the case, you will be a useless coward for the rest of your life!"
Boom!
After saying that, Gu Mu threw Na Su to the ground.
Severe pain spread throughout Na Su's body, but Na Su did not react at all. Instead, the pain made him feel much better.
The physical pain helped him atone for his spiritual sins.
Mother Gu pulled Na Su back and said, "Coward, you did something wrong and you want to die. It's not that easy. Come here!"
After hearing this, the guard next to him said, "Yes."
"Deprive that Saint Su of his position, abolish his martial arts training, and imprison him in a dungeon to make him repent of his sins!"
After hearing this, everyone in the field was stunned. At this time, the palace guard elder said: "Master Gu Mother, is this punishment a bit too severe?"
Gu mother said: "It's serious. Rebellion is serious, but killing my mother and sister is serious!"
After hearing what Gu Mother said, everyone fell silent. If what Gu Mother said was true, it was indeed very serious.
Thinking of this, everyone stopped talking.
At this time, Na Su also said: "I accept the punishment!"
Seeing that Na Su was like this, everyone else remained silent.
Na Su was also taken away, and at this moment, another person suddenly came out.
"Ahem...Mrs. Gu."
Just when Gu Mother was about to end the punishment, someone unexpectedly came out and shouted. Gu Mother looked and saw that it was the Centipede Elder who was seriously injured and had a broken arm.
Elder Centipede looked at Gu Mother and said, "Gu Mother, I, ahem, also participated in this coup. Please punish me according to the rules of the church!"
Mother Gu looked at Elder Centipede and said, "Centipede, since you have done this, I will not punish you, right?"
Upon hearing this, the centipede said, "No, Master Gu, the rules cannot be abolished. I did participate in the rebellion, and I also attacked Elder Guardian with Elder Scorpion. This is the evidence of my crime."
"If it weren't for the unexpected events that happened later, I might have succeeded. This is a fact that cannot be changed!"
"As for my injuries, that is my responsibility as the elder of the Centipede Sect of the Five Poison Sect. Although I have made contributions, rebellion is a serious mistake and cannot be tolerated. Otherwise, how will the people who come after me deal with it?"
After hearing what Elder Centipede said, everyone fell silent.
This Elder Centipede is really serious. In fact, considering that he passively participated in the rebellion and made great contributions in resisting the imperial court this time, his merits and demerits offset each other. As long as Elder Centipede doesn't say anything, the matter will be forgotten.
But who would have thought that Elder Centipede would be so serious about it. If he was so serious, things would become complicated.
At this time, it was not easy for Gu Mu to say directly that there was nothing wrong with rebellion.
At this time, he looked at Elder Centipede, sighed and said, "Elder Centipede participated in the rebellion. Now he is stripped of his position as an elder, his martial arts are abolished, and he is imprisoned in the dungeon."
"Gu mother."
"Mother!"
After hearing what the Gu Mother said, Elder Shou Gong Elder, Elder Jin Chan Elder, and Linglong all spoke.
Mother Gu raised her hand and said, "Wait... I have something else to say. Although Elder Centipede rebelled first, he later fought against the imperial army and made great contributions. Therefore, I will only deprive him of his position as an elder, and will not pursue the rest."
After hearing this, everyone finally accepted it, and at this time Elder Centipede clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Gu Mother, for your help."
Then Elder Centipede looked at Linglong and said, "Linglong, I said I would give you an explanation. Today, I will give you this explanation."
Linglong looked at Elder Centipede and said, "Elder, this..."
Elder Centipede reached out his hand to stop Linglong and said, "No need to say more, I understand everything. I have brought this upon myself."
Everyone sighed. They felt balanced in their hearts because Elder Centipede was not punished.
Elder Jin Chan sighed and said, "What a pity, this time we let that bastard Duxie get away. Otherwise, it would have been perfect."
After hearing this, the Palace Guard also said, "I never thought that the poisonous scorpion would be so ambitious."
The Gu mother also said with a dark face: "It doesn't matter, the monk can escape but the temple cannot. When this matter is over, I will make him pay!"
"Such a scum will definitely not be spared!"
Gu Mother was about to say something when she heard footsteps outside. Then she saw a guard who was guarding the cave come in and report: "Report to Lady Gu Mother, Elder Scorpion, Elder Scorpion is back!"
"What!"
After hearing this, everyone in the field was stunned, and then they looked at the Gu mother with wide eyes.
They couldn't believe that Elder Scorpion was so brave that he dared to come back after running away.
At this time, the Gu mother said, "Come here, let him in."
"yes!"
After hearing this, the guard responded and ran out, and came back with Elder Scorpion a moment later.
Elder Scorpion had already changed his clothes by this time, putting on a set of clothes worn by a worshiper in the Prince Ruyang's Palace.
Seeing the clothes, Elder Jinchan was furious and said, "Poisonous Scorpion, how dare you betray the Holy Church!"
After hearing this, everyone around gnashed their teeth, and Gu Mother was also furious. This bastard actually betrayed the Holy Church and joined the imperial court.
At this time, Elder Scorpion smiled and said, "Master Gu, please don't be angry. The prince asked me to bring you a message!"
Elder Jinchan said angrily: "Shougong, let's go together and kill this guy first!"
Upon hearing this, the Palace Guard took a step forward without saying much and directly blocked Elder Scorpion's way.
However, Elder Scorpion was not panicked. Instead, he smiled and said, "Golden Toad, I advise you not to be impulsive. I am now shouldering the imperial order of the court. If something happens to me here, the prince will say that he will not talk to you directly and will go back to the capital to invite Bashiba Living Buddha to come and subdue the demon!"
"Bold!"
Elder Jinchan was furious: "How dare you call Master Jin a monster!"
Elder Scorpion said: "This is not what I said, but what the prince said!"
At this time, Gu Mu raised her hand to stop Elder Jin Chan and said, "Poison Scorpion, what message did your master ask you to bring this time?"
Elder Poison Scorpion laughed and said, "Haha, Gu Mother is still sensible. The situation is different now. The imperial army is besieging Miao Territory. It is not a solution to persist."
"Besides, we were unreasonable first and captured their princess. Otherwise, they wouldn't have wanted to destroy our Miao region."
After hearing this, Elder Jinchan looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Elder Scorpion said, "My prince has said three conditions. As long as you agree to them, we will immediately withdraw our troops and return to the court! We will never stay in Miao territory!"
Mother Gu narrowed her eyes and looked at him and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Elder Scorpion said: "First, send our princess out intact within one hour."
"Second: Hand over the most powerful book of your Five Poison Sect, 'Nine Li Magic Skills'."
"third!"
Elder Scorpion suddenly looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "Take off this man's head. The prince wants him dead!"
What!
Everyone in the field was shocked!
