Chapter 214: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Thinking back to that day now, even Baizhu himself couldn't help but be afraid.
When he came to the temple that day, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, because he found that there was not a single guard in the temple, which did not look like a sign that Xie Xun was being held at all.
However, he only thought that Fan Yao had mistaken the information, thinking that he would come anyway, so it would be good to simply check in the temple, so he entered the temple casually.
At first, Baizhu didn't notice anything in the first two wings, but when he pushed open the door of the third wing, he heard a sound of a blink, and then the temple bell rang to no one.
Hearing the bell, Bai Zhu immediately knew that this temple was probably really holding Xie Xun.
After all, where would an ordinary temple have such a mechanism?
Especially after the bell rang, there was a noise from the soldiers in the military camp outside, he only thought that the soldiers were about to surround him, so he was even more sure that Xie Xun was being held here, and the search became more and more careful.
Eventually, Baizhu found Xie Xun in the temple's dungeon.
But when he unlocked Xie Xun's acupoint, Xie Xun's first sentence was to let him run away, and said that there were explosives buried here!
Even now in retrospect, Baizhu can recall the horror of his hairs standing on end when he heard Xie Xun say that there was explosives here, and at the same time, he admired more and more why he didn't leave Xie Xun alone and left the temple aloneβwith his light skills, he might not have been able to escape to the relative safety of heaven at that time.
Subsequently, in order to protect Xie Xun, Baizhu naturally transported out all his true qi, and shrouded himself and Xie Xun with a layer of gangqi, protecting the two of them intact.
Shaking his head, Baizhu said, "Okay, let's not mention those past things again." β
Speaking of this, Baizhu's expression suddenly became serious, and his tone also carried a solemn aura: "There is a way to 'come and not be rude', since people have prepared such a heavy 'ceremony' for our lion king, how can our Mingjiao not return the respect?"
This time Baizhu was really angry, after all, this explosion was the closest to death since he crossed over.
Hearing the murderous aura in Baizhu's words, everyone was in high spirits.
Wei Yi let out a strange laugh: "Sect Master, you must take me this time!"
"The old man also wants to teach the Yuan Dynasty Tartars a profound lesson!"
Yin Tianzheng also clenched his fists, and his bones let out bursts of roars: "The old man's eagle claw skill has not been revealed in the rivers and lakes since it was improved by the sect leader!"
Even Yang Xiao, who has always been steady and resourceful, was eager to try: "Sect Master, my subordinates also think that we should pay tribute to them once, and let the Tartars know that our Ming Sect is not easy to mess with!"
Fan Yao also showed excitement in his eyes, and said, "Sect Master, and meβor I will simply leave the Ruyang Palace and return to the Ming Sect!"
Including Xie Xun said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, my subordinates are willing to shed the last drop of blood for my Ming Sect!"
Although it has been a year since Zhao Min led 30,000 yuan of elite soldiers to surround Guangmingding, every time they think about it, Yang Xiao and the others have a sense of grievance.
Especially as the power of the Ming Sect continued to expand throughout the year, the idea of them wanting to take revenge on them became more and more vigorous.
Seeing the fighting spirit of the five people, Baizhu was also proud, and said: "Okay! This time, we are going to give the Tartars a lesson that will never be forgotten!"
"Sect Master, what do you want to do?"
Wei Yi smiled and said loudly: "Even if I kill the Yuan Dynasty Dog Emperor directly, I won't frown!"
"This emperor can't be killed yet,"
Bai Shu smiled: "If you kill this emperor and replace it with someone who is not so mediocre, it will be bad." β
Hearing Baizhu's words, everyone laughed in unison.
After laughing, Baizhu groaned: "Fan You, you have a great responsibility, and you still need to continue to lurk in the Ruyang Palace, this action can only wronged you to be a spectator." β
"Alas!"
Although he had expected it, hearing Bai Zhu say this, Fan Yao's face was still full of loss.
"Haha, good brother, don't worry, I will definitely kill for you this time!"
Yang Xiao laughed and patted Fan Yao's shoulder and said.
"Sect Master, tell me quickly, what do you want us to do?"
Wei Yixiao asked impatiently.
Baizhu looked at Fan Yao and asked, "Right Envoy Fan, where do those people from the rivers and lakes under Zhao Min gather?"
"A gathering place?"
Fan Yao lowered his head and thought for a moment, but still shook his head, and said, "Those people under Zhao Min have different interests and hobbies, and they rarely gather together. β
"That's right,"
Baizhu frowned and said, "But if we break them one by one, it's easy to startle the snake." β
Hearing Baizhu's words, Yang Xiao suddenly smiled: "Actually, it is also a way to startle the snake." β
"Huh?"
Baizhu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Not bad, it's still Yang Zuo's wisdom and scheming, let's fight the grass and scare the snake!"
......
Inside the capital.
Ruyang Palace.
Brush!
The palace guard blinked, only to feel that a shadow seemed to flash in the sky just now, and when he looked closely, he found nothing.
"Could it be that I'm dazzled?"
The guard shook his head in confusion and continued to look ahead.
Just where he couldn't see, Baizhu's figure had been quietly pasted under the eaves in the corner of the corridor - with Fan Yao's information, Baizhu naturally knew the terrain of the Ruyang Palace, and came directly to the mansion where the Ruyang King lived.
However, it didn't take long for him to frown, because he heard the concubine of King Ruyang in the courtyard next to him complaining, and King Ruyang had just been summoned into the palace by the emperor.
"King Ruyang has entered the palace, so won't this task be completed?"
Baizhu secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity.
According to Yang Xiao's plan, after Baizhu infiltrated the palace, he wanted to kidnap the King of Ruyang - in this way, many martial arts masters who were the guards of the King of Ruyang would naturally flock out, and at that time, Baizhu and others would wipe out these martial arts people, and then release the King of Ruyang back.
Of course, Baizhu could choose to kill the King of Ruyang, but once he did, he would completely anger the imperial court and force them to exterminate the rebel army of the Ming Sect first at any cost - this was obviously a small loss for the Ming Sect, which was still in the development stage.
But now that King Ruyang suddenly entered the palace, this plan failed from the beginning.
"Forget it, since it won't work today, let's come back tomorrow. β
Bai Zhu had already made up his mind, so he wanted to leave the Ruyang Palace.
Just as he was about to leave, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a familiar crisp voice from the courtyard next to him: "Brother, stop, you haven't explained to me what you have done!"
"Zhao Min?"
Baizhu's heart moved, and he continued to hide his figure.
"Girl, what else do you want me to explain?"
A man's voice rang out.
"Let me ask you, why did you detain Xie Xun to Lanyin Temple without my consent?"
Zhao Min asked aggressively, "Moreover, there are so many explosives buried in the place where Xie Xun is being held?"
"Girl, with your intelligence, don't you really know why I did this?"
The man sighed lightly: "I know that the reason why you imprisoned Xie Xun was to use Xie Xun's identity to threaten Wei Bi, the leader of the Ming Sect, but Min Min, the current Wei Bi is no longer the Jianghu man Wei Bi you imagined!"
"He's more of a rebel now, how do you think a rebel general would give in for the sake of a mere general?"
"Therefore, we might as well simply make Xie Xun a trap, and when I arrange everything, I will release the word to lure the masters of the Ming Sect to come to the rescue, and then kill one more and earn a ......."
"It's just a pity that before my arrangements were completed, the news that Xie Xun was imprisoned here leaked out, so that Xie Xun and the people who rescued him all died in Lanyin Temple. β
Hearing the man's words, Bai Shu was secretly surprised by the other party's ruthlessness.
"Yes, Zhao Min has always called him his brother, and I think he is Wang Baobao, who will be praised by Zhu Yuanzhang as 'the strange man in the world' in the future. β
Thinking of Wang Baobao's future military talent, he was slightly surprised that he could set up such a poisonous plan.
Frankly speaking, Wang Baobao's plan has a great chance of succeeding, because once he learns that Xie Xun is imprisoned in Lanyin Temple, Baizhu will come to the rescue with reason, and then face more explosives than now, no matter how strong his magic is, I am afraid that he will only die and die.
"But ......"
Baizhu rolled his eyes: "Although I didn't wait for King Ruyang, the effect of arresting this only son of King Ruyang is the same." β
Hearing the voices of Zhao Min and the others coming from the courtyard next door, Baizhu's body swayed and quietly lurked over.
