Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

#111 - Chapter 111 The Red Lotus Cult's Plan

The Longxiang Army had left Qingzhou for three days.

Honglian's informant brought the news of Marquis Longxiang's annihilation of the Honglian branch altar in Qingzhou back to the Honglian Sect's main altar.

In a secluded cave in the North Cang Mountain.

Dozens of Honglian Sect altar masters gathered.

The destruction of the North River layout in one fell swoop caused great losses to the Honglian Sect.

Many plans could not be implemented, so the main altar had to come up with a response as soon as possible.

At this time, the one sitting in the main seat was a tall man.

What was striking was that this person's face was covered with a copper mask that covered his eyes and nose.

The mask was very delicately crafted and fit the shape of the person's face very well, with only a pair of hawk-like eyes visible from the eye holes.

Being inadvertently swept by his gaze would always make people feel a bone-chilling coldness.

This person was the current Honglian Sect Leader, Fang Hongtian.

Since Fang Hongtian took over as the Sect Leader, his behavior has been extremely cautious, and he always wears a mask when entering and leaving.

Even among the altar masters present, only a few have seen his true face.

Sitting on the Sect Leader's left hand side was a bewitching woman wearing a red veil.

This woman had a graceful figure, and her eyes were lively and captivating.

She was the current Honglian Saintess, Li Hongchan.

And on the Sect Leader's right hand side sat an old man with white hair.

The old man's face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his eyes were slightly turbid, but still sharp as a hawk.

He was the Grand Master of Honglian, Guo Linjiu.

These three people were the core figures of the current Honglian Dharma Sect.

In front of them, an altar master in charge of the affairs of the North River Dao was bowing and reporting.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader."

"Marquis Longxiang is too deceiving. The Holy Sect has been planning in Qingzhou for more than ten years."

"But she destroyed it in one fell swoop."

"The Dou family, who was originally the imperial court's eyes and ears, was also removed by her,"

"The incense masters and believers under my command have suffered heavy losses."

"Marquis Longxiang hates the Holy Sect so much, she will surely become a disaster for our sect in the future."

"How to deal with her, please ask the Sect Leader to decide."

Sect Leader Fang Hongtian was wearing a mask, making it difficult to see his emotions.

However, the invisible aura he exuded was quite oppressive.

Fang Hongtian pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"The Dou family wants to arrange a ghost marriage for their son."

"They ruined the layout of our Holy Sect."

"They deserve to die."

"But this Marquis Longxiang is actually an enemy of our Holy Sect."

"Then she must not be let go."

"We can use this to make a fuss."

Hearing this, everyone in the cave looked at each other, not understanding what the Sect Leader meant.

Fang Hongtian turned his hand over, and a black waist tag appeared in his palm.

"A few days ago."

"A secret agent from the Wude Division infiltrated our sect."

"This was seized from him, a Wude Division patrol school lieutenant's waist tag."

"This Wude Division is an organization of the Liang Dynasty that investigates warriors all over the world."

"It is now controlled by Auxiliary General Zheng Tianxiong."

"What do you think, if someone takes this waist tag, disguises himself as a secret agent of the Wude Division,"

"Goes to approach Marquis Longxiang, and even assassinates her."

"Will she rebel against the imperial court because of this?"

As soon as Fang Hongtian's voice fell.

An altar master immediately reacted.

A sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked altar master bowed and saluted, saying.

"Wonderful, Sect Leader is wise."

"This trick of driving wolves to swallow tigers can cause infighting among the Liang Kingdom's nobles."

"When they fight to the death."

"Our Holy Sect can reap the benefits."

The other altar masters also nodded, indicating that they understood the Sect Leader's strategy.

At this time, an altar master cupped his hands and asked.

"I don't know Sect Leader, who will carry out this matter."

Sect Leader Fang pondered for a moment.

Then he turned his head and said to the red-clothed Saintess Li Hongchan on his left hand side.

"This Marquis Longxiang is also a woman."

"Saintess, do you dare to compete with her?"

The beautiful woman in red next to her quickly got up, with a solemn expression, and bowed to Fang Hongtian, saying.

"Yuchan respectfully obeys the Sect Leader's orders."

"I am willing to share the worries for the Holy Sect."

Not to mention that the Honglian Sect was plotting revenge.

In the past few days, the most uneasy person was actually General Qi Dekuan of Qingzhou.

Marquis Longxiang's younger sister had an accident in his jurisdiction.

He always felt uneasy about it.

Fortunately, the female Marquis did not blame General Qi.

This made him feel even more guilty.

When this matter was over, the Longxiang Army was going to enter the capital to report their merits and could not stay in Qingzhou for long.

To express his apology, Qi Dekuan prepared a large amount of military supplies and food and sent them to the army.

When the female Marquis led the army away, Qi Dekuan even led the officials of Qingzhou to send them off for ten miles.

Not long after the army set off.

Marquis Longxiang was having a headache over one thing.

That was that her younger sister, Bai Yuxuan, was ill.

After rescuing Bai Yuxuan from the Dou family manor.

This Miss Bai was physically fine.

But she suffered a deep mental trauma.

The most typical symptom was that she had been plagued by nightmares these past few days.

In addition, she was afraid of being alone and afraid of the dark.

The female Marquis even saw her younger sister wake up screaming in her nightmares several times.

This made her very worried.

So Marquis Longxiang had to send a fast horse back to Qingzhou City to invite the best doctor in the city to see Bai Yuxuan.

For this kind of mental illness, these doctors did not have any good solutions, they could only prescribe some calming prescriptions for Bai Yuxuan to recuperate.

But after taking a few doses of medicine, it did not have any effect.

Bai Yuxuan was still tormented by nightmares at night.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.

Bai Yuxuan, a girl, was trapped in a dark coffin and alone with a corpse for so long.

She was already strong-willed that she did not go crazy directly.

It is very normal to have some psychological trauma.

However, the female Marquis discovered.

This mental illness of her younger sister was not completely without a solution.

And the solution was not difficult.

That was Li Yuan.

As long as Li Yuan was within Bai Yuxuan's sight, she would become very relieved.

Once, the female Marquis and Li Yuan were discussing military affairs in the front hall of the post house.

Bai Yuxuan, who was resting in the back room, knew that Li Yuan was in the front hall, and she slept peacefully all night, sleeping very sweetly.

This surprised Marquis Longxiang very much.

The female Marquis wanted to understand the reason for this, and in order to cure her sister once and for all.

She specially invited several well-known doctors from Qingzhou to inquire.

After listening to the female Marquis's narration.

The doctors all closed their eyes and pondered.

The oldest of them stroked his beard and thought for a while, then replied to the female Marquis.

"Reporting to the Marquis, I probably know what's going on."

The female Marquis's eyes lit up and she said quickly.

"Please speak, sir."

The old doctor's eyes flickered and he said.

"In my opinion, Miss Bai's illness is actually more like a supernatural haunting."

"The Marquis once said that Miss Bai was trapped in a tomb with a corpse a few days ago."

"That's right."

"Miss Bai is a woman, her yin energy is heavy, and she is most likely to attract evil spirits."

"Presumably during this period, some evil spirits have contaminated Miss Bai's mind."

"So the medicines of us doctors are useless to her."

"Because Miss Bai's illness is not in her body, but in her soul."

Hearing this, the female Marquis felt that it made sense, so she nodded slightly.

"I see."

Then she asked suspiciously.

"Then why does my younger sister's condition improve when Li Lieutenant is present?"

The old doctor laughed heartily.

"Reporting to the Marquis, we have also heard of Li Lieutenant's deeds."

"It is said that he broke the Tiele soldiers and horses on the front line of the Chishui River and picked the Tiele Tiger Warrior with a spear."

"He is the number one warrior in our Great Liang army, right?"

The female Marquis nodded and said.

"That's right, Li Lieutenant can be said to be the bravest in the three armies."

"He killed countless enemies in the Chishui River."

The old doctor put his hands together and said happily.

"That's right."

"Please think, Marquis, even the Tiele people are afraid of Li Lieutenant, and those evil spirits are also afraid."

"I have heard that these unclean evil spirits are most afraid of two kinds of people."

"One is the most yang person, and the other is the person with heavy baleful aura."

"I observe that Li Lieutenant has a stable demeanor and the posture of a dragon and a tiger. He himself is the most yang person."

"He also broke the Tiele people in the Chishui River and beheaded countless people. The accumulated baleful aura is even more soaring to the sky."

"The evil spirits in the desolate tombs and wild graves can still harm ordinary people, but they will inevitably be frightened and flee when they encounter a yang warrior like Li Lieutenant."

"So, as long as Li Lieutenant is present, Miss Bai will naturally be fine."

Hearing what the old doctor said made sense.

The female Marquis suddenly understood and nodded slightly.

"That makes sense."
