Chapter 494: Human Suffering
The green snake was surprised by Li Cunqing's sudden appointment, and after Nalan was ordered to leave the city, there were not many people left in the Mingyue Tower.
After the battle of Luoyang, Mingyue Tower gradually became stronger. Gaofu collapsed, and the prince was "missing". Li Cunmiao took advantage of the situation to put the relationship between Mingyue Tower on the table, and since then Mingyue Tower is no longer just a gang in the rivers and lakes, but has completely become a court minion that everyone fears.
originally thought that Luoyang would be greatly injured, but he never thought that Li Cunmiao had no intention of slacking off at all, and immediately raised troops to start a counterattack. The famous gangs called on the rivers and lakes of Lonely Whistling Heights, Organ City, and Quenching Crow Valley all suffered great disasters overnight, and Mingyue Tower was the initiator of them.
It seems that in order to "make the teacher famous", Mingyuelou attributed the "blood sacrifice" that has been rumored in the rivers and lakes for many years to his own use, and threatened that the Tang Dynasty would encounter a great disaster, and no dissidents should exist in it. Mingyuelou's words have moved the world, and later Tang Li Cunqiao also gave it a seal, making this massacre more justifiable.
Later, Tangjiang Lake once again set off a bloody storm, and Mingyue Tower almost poured out, leaving a few people to stand by. The "Green Snake", one of the twelve nights of Mingyue Tower, is one of them.
He was seriously injured after being blocked and killed outside Luoyang City. After escaping back to Mingyue Tower, he was tortured again, but this kind of ordeal did not kill him, but made him stronger. At this time, when the post-Tang Dynasty was employing people, Li Cunmiao naturally would not let go of this "good seedling", and after being recommended by the Confucian scholars in the building, the green snake naturally led the troops to the battle.
This news has naturally reached Nalan's ears, and he knows that Li Cunqiao does not fully trust him, and the two sides are still fighting openly and secretly. It's just that this superficial subservience will disappear in a long time.
At this time, Luoyang City has been mastered by Li Cunqiao. Even the deep-rooted Lonely Roaring Heights has almost been uprooted. And Mingyue Tower, which was already empty and wronged by the snake, came out in Nalan himself, and after the green snake led the troops, only one Confucian remained. Since then, Li Cunmiao seems to have forgotten about him, but he doesn't know that he is the core of Mingyue Tower's think tank, and he is manipulating everything on the rivers and lakes.
This middle-aged Confucian who wants to climb up is the deepest foreshadowing of Nalan's burial in Luoyang......
But if a person is counted as a man, he is also counted. Li Cunmiao asked the Green Snake to lead the troops to the battle, the original intention was to reach Longshou County, so he "sacrificed" it on the grounds of besieging the city, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident on the way, and it was not peaceful along the way.
At this time, in an unknown city, the green snake eliminated foreign enemies, and killed Gu Xing and others even more. And the general who was hiding in the shadows was watching all this with cold eyes. He can't be too obvious and expose himself, he has to make everything seem natural.
As long as this vanguard can arrive at Longshou County within the specified time limit and join Yu Tianfeng's large army, the mission will be completed. It's just that I don't know what kind of sparks will be born from the current collision between Yu Tianfeng and Li Siyuan.
The green snake was not in a hurry to arrange the troops, but the capable men of his men were in a hurry and ordered the city gate to be closed. He wanted to take advantage of the darkness of the night to strangle Gu Xing and the others in the city. Gu Xing and the others did not have the intention of sitting still, and after the battle of the wine shop, the four of them began to hide in the east of the city. This small city, which was already small, became a cage that trapped the footsteps of the four people.
Chen Fusheng immediately made a decision and proposed to take separate actions. Although Gu Xing hesitated, he still nodded in agreement. After the four of them summed up, they agreed to meet at the wine shop in an hour, this move was to find out the situation in the city, and the goal of the four of them together was too big, so that they could attack the east and west, so that the soldiers could not be guarded.
Tong Hatzhu was naturally handed over to Monk Chen's care, Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing walked in the east and west directions, but Monk Chen's mind was not in a hurry, just standing in place, as if thinking about the next step. Tong Hatzhu said suspiciously, "Great monk, where are we going?" ”
The dust monk recited the Buddha's name, "The Buddha's words are cloudy, the Buddha is at ease in his heart, and the poor monk wants to go to the city and surpass the many dead souls who come together." ”
Tong Hatzhu's eyes were moist when he heard this, but he didn't dare to sob. Let the dust monk hold him, and rush away in the direction of the homeless beheading. It was supposed to be the most heavily defended place, but it was guarded by only a few men. More soldiers began to move, searching the city for the four men.
At this time, the green snake sat on the wooden ladder opposite the wine shop, pulling the corners of his mouth with a faint smile. Behind him stood four people, all of them with faces as if they were in water, but none of them opened their mouths to ask. These four people are the prefect of this group of soldiers, and they have been appointed to serve in the imperial city, and they also have a special mission here.
And the most mysterious man at the helm was not among the four, hidden among the ordinary soldiers, silently observing everything.
As time passed, the green snake's face gradually became distorted, and a group of soldiers turned back, without even bringing back the people to wake up, and there was not even news, which made his plan that he thought foolproof flawed. The green snake didn't get up, didn't even look up, just asked in a cold voice, "How long do you have to go?" ”
The four people behind him did not look at each other, and one person on the left stepped forward and clenched his fists and said loudly; "General Qiyu, when the morning dawns, you must set off so as not to delay the fighter. At this time, there are about four hours left. ”
"Is it only four hours?" The green snake muttered to himself.
When the man had finished his report, he silently retreated, and stood with the rest of the people, saying no more.
The green snake seems to feel unprecedented pressure, this is the first time he has led his troops to the battle, and it is also a great opportunity to recklessly raise his feet from the rivers and lakes to enter the temple, if it is ruined on Gu Xing, it will be too late to regret it. But this big pie is in front of him, and if he is allowed to flee like this, wouldn't it be even more scratching?
Thinking of this, the green snake suddenly stood up and ordered: "If you wait for the four soldiers to divide into four roads and set fire along the way, I don't believe they won't come out." ”
The four people behind him did not hesitate at all, and led the way with their fists, and the green snake was still waiting here, like a giant python in the dark night, waiting for the prey to be delivered to the door by itself......
At this time, Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng were walking under the eyes of the pursuers, constantly investigating the opportunity to get out of the city. However, instead of following the path, the soldiers began to set fire to each house, trying to force a few of them out.
Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing both secretly said that it was not good in their hearts, but there was no better way at the moment, so they could only follow the results of the discussion just now and continue to look for opportunities.
And the dust monk had already come to the city wall at this time, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, put Tong Hate Bamboo in a hidden place, and suddenly intercepted a soldier. Before the man could make a sound, he fainted. Monk Lichen knew that this Dharma would be exposed, but there was no way to do it.
Then he walked quickly to Tong Hatzhu's side and picked him up, and walked up the stairs along the inner stairs of the city wall. The dust monk walked very fast, but there was no one guarding the inner ladder, which was beyond his expectations. At this time, the city was already in flames, and it seemed that the pursuers of Luoyang had begun to make a desperate bet.
When the dust monk came to the city wall, the surroundings were silent, but he could feel the cold and piercing killing intent and resentment spreading and drifting. Monk Lichen put Tong Hatzhu down and asked her to run quickly to a haystack and hide, before shouting in a deep voice: "What kind of hero is sneaky, come out." ”
About fifteen or sixteen armored soldiers came out of the darkness, all fierce and vicious. These people were a little disappointed when they saw that there was only one monk. One of them raised his knife and slashed at him without saying a word, and the dust monk dodged sideways, clasped his hands together and scolded angrily: "Donors, don't kill again!" ”
The group of soldiers laughed loudly when they heard this, "Killing? Great monk, are you joking? In this world, either you kill me, or I kill you. If everyone can put down the butcher's knife, can they all become Buddhas on the spot? ”
The green tendons on the forehead of the monk burst out, but he didn't say anything. The group of soldiers seemed to feel that the victory was in hand, and continued to speak aggressively, "Great monk, you don't know yet, do you? The Buddhist temples within a radius of 100 miles have been destroyed in the war, and the high monks in the temple, tsk, have already been fed to wild dogs. ”
"That's right, don't you Buddhists often say compassion? The Buddha can still cut meat and feed it to eagles, why can't you feed dogs? It's all reincarnation, and it doesn't make a difference if you think about it, isn't it, brothers? ”
Tong Hatzhu poked out half of his head from behind the haystack and looked at the soldiers and monks in front of him.
This group of soldiers had surrounded Monk Chen, as if deliberately provoking him and making him lose his judgment. If this is just the case, it is not enough to prove that the soldier is crazy, but the next words made Monk Chen completely dead to the soldier in front of him.
I don't know if Tong Hatzhu was careless, or if this group of soldiers already knew where she was, after surrounding the dust monk, two of the soldiers began to move in the direction of Tong Hatzhu, full of foul language, "Great monk, if you want to purify all sentient beings, then we will defile this little girl in front of you, and let you see the suffering of the world." ”
Tong Hatzhu was so frightened by this tiger and wolf that he screamed in shock, which not only alarmed the soldiers wandering under the city, but also attracted the attention of Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng who were in the city. Looking at the sky-high fire in front of them, following the direction of the sound, although the two were not in the same place, they said in unison: "City wall!" ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately rushed towards the city wall. And the green snake squatting opposite the wine shop naturally did not miss this tearing cry that pierced the night sky. He slowly stood up, untied the reins of the fiery horse at his side, and walked in the direction of the wall.
The scimitar in his hand spun incessantly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, on the city wall, the dust monk couldn't bear it anymore, and he slapped at the two soldiers in front of him. The blow was so powerful that it instantly shook the two of them away, and they fell to the ground wailing. This group of soldiers saw that the dust monk was powerful, and they didn't care about Tong Hatezhu, so they raised their knives and slashed them one after another.
Even though the internal strength of the dust monk is excellent, it is difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists, and after a few moves, there are a few more blood marks on his body. But after several tosses, the monk Lichen blocked Tong Hatzhu behind him, and looked at the people in front of him with an expression of looking at the dead......
