Chapter 2387 Talking behind the back

By the time everything was settled, it was already dark.

Thanks to Matsuda's calmness in the face of danger, he comforted the lost monk and arranged a room for the injured.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside, a Fuso soldier said something outside, and Matsuda's face suddenly became serious.

"The general came to visit in person. I'll go out to greet him." Matsuda said to Bai Ruozhu. He didn't notice that he was particularly respectful to Bai Ruozhu when he spoke.

Bai Ruozhu looked very embarrassed at the moment. His clothes were stained with dried blood, burnt black ash, and some medicinal soup. His face was also stained black, and his hands were stained with blood and medicinal residue. .

She didn't move, and slowly washed her hands with water, her movements seemed meticulous.

Only then did she finally calm down and think about what was going on, especially the young monk she noticed. He obviously deliberately added ingredients to the fire. In order not to leave any evidence, he even threw the barrel into the fire. .

That is to say, this fire was planned by man. What was it for?

Target them? But they didn't go to the Sutra Pavilion. With their martial arts, even if the place where they drank tea in the back hall caught fire, it wouldn't hurt them, right?

If you want to use the fire to cause trouble for them, you don't have to go out to target the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, right? Wouldn't it be more likely to catch fire if there were fireworks in the front hall?

After thinking about it, I think the other party's target is probably the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Is there any secret hidden in the Sutra Pavilion?

Bai Ruozhu was so lost in thought that she didn't notice a pair of eyes staring at her and observing her. It wasn't until she washed her hands, including the gaps between her nails, that she slowly dried her hands and looked up to see the person standing at the door.

She couldn't help but narrowed her eyes. What did this Shinye want to do? Could it be that he was unwilling to lose last time and still wanted to discuss with her? But he always has to separate his occasions, right?

Shinye looked at her with a somewhat puzzled and inquiring look.

"Why are you working so hard?" Xinye suddenly spoke and asked in stiff Chinese.

Bai Ruozhu quickly realized what he meant to ask: You are not a Fusang person, why are you working so hard to save the Fusang people?

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but sneered, "If you don't work hard to save people, are you going to watch them die?"

Xinye understood, and his expression changed. It seemed that he still didn't understand. Bai Ruozhu sighed silently. She probably couldn't explain it clearly to him.

They care about ethnicity and country, but Bai Ruozhu only sees the injured and these innocent monks.

"Zhaoti Temple and Danliang Kingdom have the same origin." She had no choice but to explain it this way, so that it would be easier for them to understand.

Shinno nodded and left the room without saying anything.

Bai Ruozhu looked at the swaying door curtain and thought that this person was probably used to being arrogant. He didn't say anything or be polite when he left. He was really willful.

On the other side of the temple, General Akamatsu visited some of the wounded, and also met with the sergeants and doctors who came to put out the fire, and praised them.

"General, this rescue is thanks to Lady Bai from Danliang Kingdom. She is actually the leader of the Central Plains Doctors Alliance, and her medical skills are very good." Matsuda reminded him timely.

General Akamatsu was a little surprised, "Oh? How can a woman have such ability? She looks quite young."

Before Matsuda could answer, an old Fuso doctor next to him immediately said: "General, don't trust that woman gullibly. The Central Plains is separated by the sea. There has been no news in the past few years. Who knows whether she is really the leader of the alliance? Why don't we just listen to her?" Did you brag?"

"But Abbot Puru's burn is too serious, and only she can cure it." Matsuda said disapprovingly.

The old man's head was bare, and the remaining hair was tied into a bun at the back of his head. He suddenly knelt down and said with a sad look: "General, how could the Zhaoti Temple catch fire? It rained heavily just a few days ago, and everything was ruined. It's humid, so why did it suddenly catch fire? How come the fire just happened to happen when those Danliang people arrived at Zhaoti Temple?"

General Chisong frowned slightly when he heard this, and seemed to feel suspicious.

"They have no conflict with Zhaoti Temple, right?" he said.

At this time, a warrior next to him suddenly said, "General, could it be that they don't want our Fusang Buddhist culture to be spread, so they want to destroy their Buddhist scriptures to prevent Fusang from getting in front of their Danliang Kingdom?"

Matsuda was a little anxious, "General, my subordinates have been accompanying them every step of the way. This can prove that they have not set fire."

The old doctor glared at Matsuda fiercely, "Weren't you bribed by them? You didn't leave them even a step? Didn't any of them ever leave?"

Matsuda's expression changed, and he was quickly caught. The samurai who spoke this time also started asking questions.

"I took them to see Master Puru. Later, the master ordered me to go out first, so I backed away for a while. When the fire broke out, they came out of the house with Master Puru and helped put out the fire." Matsuda Answered truthfully.

The old doctor snorted, "Only Master Puru knows if anyone left during the journey. Why would Master avoid you if he has anything to say?"

These words were heartbreaking, as if Master Puru had some conspiracy with the envoy from Danliang Kingdom.

Now that Master Puru's life and death are uncertain, someone actually said such a thing, and Matsuda suddenly exploded.

Although he has returned to secular life, he respects Master Puru very much in his heart.

"What do you mean? Master Puru acted openly and aboveboard, but he just wanted to ask about the situation of Danliang Temple on behalf of his deceased master. Are you doubting Master?" Matsuda yelled directly.

The people next to him were startled. Matsuda had been praying to Buddha since he was a child, and he spoke very gently, just like a scholar. He could never be so irritable.

General Akamatsu reached out and patted Matsuda on the shoulder, "I understand how you feel. Master Abbot will be fine. If you need any medicine, just ask for it. I'll have the best burn medicine in the house sent over."

General Akamatsu's attitude was obvious, indicating that he believed in Master Puru's character.

The doctor who spoke before was very unhappy, but he knew how to advance and retreat, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "I am afraid that the traitor will try to kill Master Puru, so I spoke inappropriately in a hurry and forgot the forgiveness of the general and Lord Matsuda."

General Akamatsu waved his hand, "No need to say anything else. Let's try our best to save people first. Ninye, please take someone to check carefully and find out the cause of the fire."

"Yes." Shinno, who was standing aside holding a katana, responded coldly.

Many people had not seen him before and had no idea when he came in. He was simply silent.

"Everyone else is performing their duties. I don't want to see you conflict with Danliang's envoy now. If anything happens, we will wait until Master Puru wakes up." General Chisong said again.

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Chisong then went to see Jiang Yichun and the others and expressed his gratitude. But when he saw Bai Ruozhu, his eyes became more scrutinizing, which made Jiang Yichun next to him have a chill in his eyes.
