It took the centaurs half an hour to reach a temple. This temple is called Zenguang Temple, and it is a century-old temple. Once upon a time, incense was also flourishing. Not far from the north of the temple is the former site of the original Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. When Lin Jue came to find his roots with Green Dance, he heard the bell of Zenguang Temple. Later, Lin Jue took Green Dance back to Zenguang Temple again, and the two of them spent a long time in the dilapidated temple and Buddhist hall, and also donated 100,000 yuan of sesame oil money. I was praised by the old host of the Zenguang Temple for a long time.

Although the Zenguang Temple is dilapidated, the ancient temple has high walls and has its own style. Lin Jue ordered the carriage and horse to stop temporarily, and he and Shen Tan slowly came to the temple gate and clapped three times in the dark. After three clicks, there were three more breaths. At this time, the temple door suddenly opened, and someone poked his head out and said in a deep voice: "Is it Brother Lin?" ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Brother Ma, it's me." ”

The temple door slammed open, and a group of people rushed out of the temple. The leader laughed and said: "But I am in a hurry, the thatch in this bird temple is so deep that there are so many mosquitoes that I almost sucked up the blood." ”

The person who came was Ma Bin and more than 100 people led by him. Ma Bin came first and said with a smile: "It's a wait until you come." The firearms roared violently in Xingguo Temple, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, and I was worried to death, for fear that something would go wrong. Brother Lin, are you all right? ”

Lin Jue briefly said what happened, and Ma Bin was stunned. He didn't expect that Guo Kun would finally raise troops to attack the palace, and he returned in a fiasco, and he was seriously injured.

"This little prince is too ...... Ay! No wonder the situation is so bad, I thought you should have arrived a long time ago, but there was a fight to save them. Ma Bin sighed.

Lin Jue said: "Don't mention this matter, there should be a catastrophe." By the way, are our two big ships out of town? ”

Ma Bin nodded and said: "They all went out of the city smoothly, it was very dangerous, I personally led people to escort them out of the water gate of the outer city, and as soon as I turned around, the city was ordered to be strictly prohibited." As long as it's a late tea time, you can't go out again. The good thing is that everything goes well. ”

Lin Jue completely put down his thoughts, and according to his own estimates, the time he returned to the house from the dock was enough for two ships to go out of the city. It seems that it was a narrow escape from the city, which is really lucky. Otherwise, there are so many more people who need to be protected, and the situation will be even more difficult.

Ma Bin's appearance surprised Shen Tan for a long time. Hurriedly interjected and asked, "What's going on?" Didn't Brother Ma guard the city gate at the West Water Gate? How did you end up in this Zenguang Temple? ”

Ma Bin smiled and said, "I have to ask Brother Lin about this." ”

Lin Jue smiled, and while leading the carriage and horses forward, he quickly informed Shen Tan of the whole story.

"In the evening, you were in a hurry to return to the palace, and we didn't discuss it carefully. After you left, I talked with Brother Ma for a while, and Brother Ma said that he had long been suspected by Yang Jun, and someone had investigated his secret relationship with me. I was worried, if Yang Jun knew that Brother Ma and I had a very good relationship, how could I let him be stationed at the city gate? Although Brother Ma was still on duty at the West Water Gate at that time, I think that once Yang Jun agrees to support Guo Xu as the emperor and block the city gate, he will inevitably transfer Brother Ma away. If that were the case, the situation would be extremely dire. If we still go out of the city through the West Water Gate, we will kill ourselves, and we will be blocked under the city and led by the neck to be killed. ”

Shen Tan nodded and said, "I see, so you chose to break through from Yiqiu Gate?" ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Exactly." So I discussed with Brother Ma, if he is still on duty in Xishuimen, if he has been transferred out of Xishuimen, then we will choose to break through in Yiqiumen. The signal for contact is the fireworks. I had been paying attention to the direction of the West Water Gate before, and I didn't find any signal of fireworks launching into the sky, which means that a backup plan must be made. That's why I decided not to go to Xishuimen and go to Yiqiumen. The wood and sundries at the head of the bridge of Xingguo Temple are part of the plan, as are the big trees that were cut down on the road and the archway that was knocked down, all of which were prepared by Brother Ma and others. We agreed that if we wanted to break through from Yiqiumen, we would have to block the Xingguosi Bridge and force them to make a detour, so that we would have time to capture Yiqiumen. As for this Zenguang Temple, it is the meeting place agreed between me and Brother Ma. Brother Ma, you didn't embarrass the masters in the temple, did you? ”

Ma Bin laughed and said, "How come? I am also a believer, and the masters are all locked up in the main hall, although they have their hands and feet tied and their mouths gagged, but they have not moved a single hair. Mainly because I was worried that they would leak our news, but I disobeyed the order and led people to run errands in the inner city. Yang Jun, the old king, was obviously suspicious of me, not only did he not let me guard the city gate, but also asked me to go to the outer city to patrol the city with more than 100 people. Lao Tzu is also the deputy commander of the forbidden army, doesn't this obviously know the relationship between me and Brother Lin? Even the inner city won't let me stay. Of course I won't go, and I will take these more than 100 brothers to act according to the plan explained by Brother Lin. The roar of the firearms is so loud that I'm really anxious, but I'm glad you're safe. It's just that I didn't expect the little prince to do this. ”

As soon as the two of them explained this, Shen Tan also understood. I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, Lin Jue had an extra heart and had a backup plan. Otherwise, if this rushes to the city gate of Xishuimen, the city gate is closed, and people are blocked in the square, it will really be impossible to escape.

"Then this Yiqiu Gate...... I'm afraid I may not be able to get out easily. Although the pursuers are temporarily blocked behind, although there may not be many soldiers and horses guarding the city, I am afraid that it will not be easy to get out of the city. Shen Tan finally asked the question in his heart.

Ma Bin said in a low voice: "The Yiqiu Gate guard is called Feng Yuan, and he is a friend of mine. I have been gracious to him. I think he'll sell me face and open the gates to let me go. ”

Shen Tan opened his mouth to say something, but Ma Bin said in a deep voice: "Brother Shen, I know what you have to say, don't worry, if he refuses, I won't say anything." But he will definitely see me, as long as he sees me, everything will be easy. ”

Shen Tan didn't care, nodded and had no doubt. Because it is obvious that this plan was jointly formulated by Lin Jue and Ma Bin, and the details and feasibility must have been considered. In fact, no matter who the guard on the city gate is, he can go up to the city as Ma Bin, so everything will be easy to do.

While speaking, the city tower of Yiqiu Gate in front of him was already in sight, and the surroundings were dark, but the city tower was brightly lit. From afar, you can see the figures patrolling the castle tower walking back and forth, and there are also soldiers swaying in the small square inside the city gate.

In order to avoid the noise of carriages and horses from alarming the defenders at the head of the city, Lin Jue ordered to stop in place. Guo Bing sent someone to find Lin Jue and asked him what he should do now? How could Lin Jue have time to entangle with Guo Bing's words. After discussing a few words with Shen Tan and Ma Bin in a low voice, led by Ma Bin, Lin Jue, Bai Bing, Sun Dayong and others swaggered towards the brightly lit Yiqiu Gate gate.

The general guarding the gate was a lieutenant named Feng Yuan, who led 500 men to block the gate after dark. Feng Yuan didn't know what was going on in the city, he only knew that something had happened, the Privy Council demanded that the city gate be tightly sealed, and no one was allowed to open the city gate without Yang Shumi's hand. He didn't have to think about it, for a middle-level officer like him, obedience was the first priority, and there was no need to worry too much about things.

He was a little taken aback by the shouts and roars coming from the left side of the palace, and it seemed that something big had happened in the city. Thankfully, however, there was no movement near the gate where he was. He only ordered the soldiers to keep their eyes open and be vigilant, and strictly abide by the military order to block the city gates, and he couldn't control the rest.

Feng Yuan, who was sitting in the ventilation of the city tower and was squinting and enjoying the cool breeze of the summer night, was suddenly startled by the scolding of the soldiers near the left, and sat up.

"Someone, stop, if you don't stand again, you're going to release arrows." The soldiers at the head of the city shouted.

Under the light of the wind lamp below were more than a hundred soldiers of the forbidden army, and a tall general raised his head and shouted: "Damn it, so horizontal? Your leader, Feng Lao Liu, didn't look so horizontal when he saw Lao Tzu. What about Feng Lao Liu? Tell him to come and talk to Lao Tzu. ”

Feng Lao Liu is Feng Yuan's nickname, and generally no one calls him that way except for people who are extremely familiar with him. Feng Yuan listened to the familiar voice, and without waiting for the soldiers to report, he came to the battlement of the city wall and squinted down. At the same time, he shouted coldly: "Who is under the city? ”

"Feng Yuan, now that he is a colonel, he is really a noble man who forgets things, don't you remember when we were in the Terracotta Division together? I'm Ma Bin. Ma Bin shouted.

Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "It turned out to be Deputy Envoy Ma, who was disrespectful and disrespectful." The brothers don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, but they also look at Haihan. Why is Deputy Envoy Ma here? There was a commotion in the city, didn't Deputy Envoy Ma follow Yang Shumi and them? ”

Ma Bin smiled: "I have my own business, gossip, I have something to ask you for help." Why, don't you invite me to go up to the castle tower to speak? Let's just shout at the top of our lungs? ”

Feng Yuan thought for a while and smiled: "How dare you, Deputy Envoy Ma should come up and speak." ”

Ma Bin nodded, waved his hand, and everyone behind him followed and walked forward. Feng Yuan was stunned and hurriedly shouted: "The city is narrow, don't come up brothers, there is no place to stay." ”

Ma Bin scolded in a low voice, knowing that it was Feng Yuan's defensive heart, so he only took Lin Jue, Sun Dayong, and Bai Bing to the stone steps. This time, Feng Yuan didn't say much, and only three or four people came up and didn't care so much. Three or four followed, and there was nothing to worry about.

On the city tower, Feng Yuan laughed and welcomed Ma Bin and the others into the city tower. Feng Yuan looked at the dresses of Lin Jue, Bai Bing, Sun Dayong and others who followed, but he was a little surprised in his heart. The three of them wore armor different from that of the guards, and it looked like the armor of the royal guards. That's not all, one of them was obviously a woman, and although she was wearing armor, she could still recognize it. When did Ma Bin's Guards Infantry Division have a female general? It's weird.
