There were dark clouds and light rain on Qingniling. "!" Suddenly, there was an angry scolding, and when people looked back, they saw a subordinate general falling on his back and getting a thin mud behind him. The soldiers of the Shu army, who were staring intently at the difficult downhill road, laughed loudly when they saw this.

"It's okay if the rain is heavy, but this light rain makes people feel upset." A military general in a splendid red cloak frowned. He was not mistaken, the surface of the hillside was wet and trampled by countless pairs of feet, and a thin layer of mud was pasted; Below is the hard soil that has long been trampled on, and it is hard. Such a road has a slope, it is too difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the mud.

In some places, the stone slabs are paved, but they are uneven, and when you step on them, there will be a "beep" sound, and your face will be muddy.

The military general who frowned and spoke was called Li Tingqi, with a wide face and a tiger's waist, completely a standard northern man...... Because he is indeed a native of Hedong (Shanxi), most of the soldiers of the forbidden army of Shu are foreign populations, a group of migrants from Shu before the extinction.

Li Tingqi is now the leader of the Shu army on the northern defense line, and he led the "Northern Route Army Camp Commander" with the military power under the command of the Shengkong Hedu, and he only arrived at Qingniling three days ago. The reinforcements led by him were late to go to the front, and as soon as they arrived in Xingzhou, they heard that Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jiedu had fallen; Zhou Jun's movements were too fast.

Li Tingjue's current thought in his heart is to guard Qingniling and see the situation...... A few days ago, Wang Zhaoyuan, an official of the Privy Council, shouted that he wanted to counterattack, and Li Tingqi wanted to slap that guy to death.

Twenty years after returning to Shuo, Li Tingqi felt that the Shu army could still send troops to compete for power, and now, it was time to burn high incense by relying on the terrain to defend it. If the frontal field strength of the Shu army can defeat the Zhou army, will Qin Fengcheng lose it? Li Tingqi thinks that Wang Zhaoyuan does not use his brain to think about things, but his ass; It's as if he claims to have a clever plan, and he can count the elite soldiers on the opposite side to death without fighting or calculating at all.

Li Tingqi and his generals walked down the hillside, looked back and looked around, the east and north sides are endless mountains and forests, except for the road of Qingniling, there are simply no people on the mountain forest; There are some places in the east where there are no mountain forests, but the long hillside forests stretch vertically and horizontally, and you can't see the end of it...... The mountains to the southeast are higher, steep and steep. Only the Shu Road due south is the road, and the reinforcements are coming along the Shu Road.

Li Tingqi and his entourage ignored the difficulty of the road, and trekked all the way south along the edge of the mountains and forests in the west, but the terrain was continuous, and the places that could be walked were always under the control of Shu Road.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, he was ready to give up this patrol. So he found a good place to go, and went east to meet Shu Road, and wanted to return to the barracks.

At this moment, Li Tingqi found that in the forest on a hillside, someone in blue clothes was hiding in the bushes and watching. Li Tingqi looked at it for a while, and found that there were no villages around, only saw a temple under the hillside, so he asked the guide and entourage of the Qingniling Post House: "What kind of temple is that?" ”

The guide hurriedly said, "It's a nunnery." ”

Li Tingqi looked around again, and suddenly said: "There is a spy on the mountain, come and intercept it on all sides, and catch the spy here!" ”

"Order!" The two generals clasped their fists, waved their hands and led their respective sergeants to the hillside, and when they reached the front of the mountain, they divided their troops into two ways and marched to the back of the mountain. Li Tingqi and the rest of the soldiers also followed and went straight to the nunnery.

A dilapidated courtyard with a building on the top of the Cheong Wache hill sits on the hillside. When Li Tingqi and others walked to the gate of the temple, they saw an old nun with a wrinkled face in it and sighed: "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Li Tingqi ignored it, and the horsemen around him rode around the hermitage. After a while, the soldiers in the mountains and forests came down, and a middle-aged woman in a cyan robe was escorted in front and behind, her arms were tied behind her back, and her head was drooping and she was driven down.

The woman was obviously not a nun, she had long hair on her head, and she didn't behave like a monk...... Looking at her dress, could it be a Taoist priest? Everyone is also curious, when will the nun and the Taoist priest get together?

"You're a Taoist?" Li Tingqi really asked.

The woman didn't speak. Li Tingqi said again: "If you are a Taoist priest and have a degree, we will catch the wrong one, and I will ask someone to release you." ”

After a while, a military general scolded: "General Li asked you, dumb? ”

Li Tingqi suddenly said: "Stripped your clothes and searched carefully!" ”

"I'm a Taoist, I'm a Taoist,......" the woman suddenly spoke. But as soon as he opened his mouth, it was the accent of the Central Plains.

Li Tingqi stopped talking to her and shouted: "Arrest all the people in the nunnery!" ”

When the army heard this, they rushed into the nunnery, and at this time, from the stone steps of the main hall, a dozen nuns wearing cloth hats and gray cloth robes came down. One of the nuns, who was in her thirties, saw the rebels rushing in, and hurriedly said, "How can you use the soldiers in a pure place of Buddhism? The nuns in the back picked up their sticks. Seeing this, the troops raised their weapons one after another and shouted: "The nuns must resist with weapons, do they want to kill or not?" ”

Li Tingqi also walked in and said, "Take it!" ”

At present, the nun was holding a Buddha bead, and when she saw the rebels rushing up, she stopped the people behind her and said, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, put down the butcher's knife and ......."

When the men saw that they had thrown away their sticks, they rushed up, and took the hemp rope and tied it up, regardless of what the nun was reading there. Another group rushed inside, and in a few moments two women were escorted out. One of them is dark and strong, and the other is a teenage.

At this time, the nun holding the Buddha beads couldn't count the beads, and her hands were tied up and knelt on the ground, so she said: "The poor nuns are hidden in the mountains, and the ancient Buddha with green lights has no quarrel with the world. The general is a hero against our unarmed people? ”

Li Tingqi sneered: "You colluded with the Zhou Dynasty, ate inside and outside, harbored spies, and still had no quarrel with the world? They were all taken back to the camp and tortured one by one. ”

Of those with hair on their heads, two did not say a word. The teenage lady shouted: "Who is the spy?" We're just passing by and staying here temporarily, who do you say is the spy? ”

One of the sergeants holding him laughed and said, "We say that you are a spy or a spy, and it is useless for you to shout and cut your throat." ”

As he spoke, he took the rope and was about to step forward, when suddenly a cloud of white smoke rose in front of him, and the sergeant was confused, covering his face and shouting "Wow". Seeing this, the two nearest sergeants immediately pounced. There seemed to be a flash of silver light in the white smoke, and the two of them threw away their spears together, hugging their necks and screaming in pain.

It was too late, and everyone didn't see how she hurt people, but they saw that she had already run to the wall, jumped and climbed the edge of the wall with both hands, but suddenly fell down again, sat on the ground, and cried "wow". When everyone looked back, they saw her spreading her palms, and her hands were bloody. It turned out that there were spikes on the wall, but she pressed them against it.

I saw that the little lady was wearing a Taoist robe, combing her hair in a bun, and carrying a cloth bag. A melon seed face with single eyelids looks delicate and cute, but the face is white and red, and the complexion is very good, at most fifteen or sixteen years old.

When the people saw her sitting in the courtyard by herself, they all breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around her in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sergeant who had just been splashed with white ash suddenly went crazy, humming and jumping in the courtyard, like a madman. The general drank heavily, he ignored it, and continued to jump around the yard, and the guy was a strong man with five big and three thick, and it was extremely funny to jump up. For a while, the appearance of the nunnery was really weird.

Li Tingqi looked back left and right, frowned, and said, "Take them all away and leave here." With that, he turned around and walked out of the nunnery first.

The little girl was caught, and shouted loudly: "My master is a fuyaozi!" I have seen all the concubines of your court, Madame Hua Rui, take me to see Madame Hua Rui! ”

"Huh?" Li Tingqi glanced back at her again and said, "That little lady should be guarded separately, don't hurt her." ”

This place is not far from Shu Road, and the army tied the "prisoners" together, rushed to Shu Road, and went north along the road. As for the post house, it was the first batch of reinforcements to arrive at the Shu army, and the post house became the Chinese army. Except for the little lady, the nuns and the two women who were trembling with fear were locked in a room in the inn.

Li Tingqi met Zhao Chongtao, the provincial envoy who was the capital eunuch with the army, and asked him to interrogate the spies. The little lady was kept alone and ignored.

Zhao Chongtao is the son of Zhongshuling, and he is not involved in the trial. His method was very simple, he immediately ordered the two female Taoist priests to be hung under the eaves of the post house, and then beat them with whips first.

"Beat me to death, beat me!" Zhao Chongtao shouted. The two sergeants were urged to untie their armor, picked up whips and whipped them indiscriminately, causing blood to splash and screams to the sky.

The strong black woman begged for mercy and cried again, her body shaking under the beams, and her face was distorted. The leather whip in the army can't even stand the soldiers, let alone a woman, if she uses enough strength to whip down, her clothes will be torn, and she will see blood immediately, and she can beat people's skin and flesh.

In a few moments, both women fainted, and the sergeant hung cold water from the well and poured it on it. Blood flowed on the ground. The black woman woke up faintly, and immediately groaned in pain, and the rags and flesh on her body were all stained together. The other woman hung there motionless, and the sergeant stepped forward to sniff and turned around and said, "Zhao Jianjun, one is dead." ”

"I'll recruit you, I'll recruit anything, you let me recruit you......" said the black woman pleading.

At this time, Zhao Chongtao brought a stool and sat down, and asked the scribe to prepare a copy to record the confession. The woman said: "I am a spy of the Zhou Dynasty, I am really ......"

Zhao Chongtao asked for a long time, but the woman didn't know anything, and said some nonsense, the only useful thing was to admit that she was from Tokyo, and she was exploring the terrain in Qingniling Nunnery.

The scribe said inside: "Zhao Envoy, I know a method, what Wu Zhou left behind, can scare the prince to death......"

Suddenly, there was a scolding, Li Tingqi walked out, "snorted", pointed at the black woman and said: "Qingniling is guarded by the Shu army, where do you come from to pass the news?" ”
