This trip to Xihua Temple, although nominally accompanied the intellectual expedition to the temple and held a grand opening ceremony, but in fact there was no news of holding the opening ceremony, so it is expected that there will not be too many pilgrims at that time, which makes our action more convenient.

Although everything is ready and a net has been laid, in fact, because the enemy situation is unknown, everyone is also unsure about what is about to happen.

How many of Wang Chuan's comrades are lurking in Ningzhou? What kind of people are they? Who are you in contact with? I don't know anything about it until now.

Even if they get the news of going to Xihua Temple, it is unknown whether they will make a rash move at that time.

For the sake of Li Yi's safety, and in order to capture the enemy as much as possible, Lin Yi and He Shoujie also arranged a large number of people this time, except for the elite soldiers in the Ningzhou battalion, almost all the personal soldiers of the Xuanfu Embassy were withdrawn, and only Le Meng and forty or fifty personal soldiers were left to guard the mansion.

Fortunately, Qian Shitang strengthened the vigilance around the Xuanfu Embassy, and Jian Zheng's patrol cavalry patrolled from time to time, so the safety of the Xuanfu Embassy had the necessary guarantee.

And on this trip, in order not to make the enemy suspect the true purpose of this trip, in addition to Li Yihe, Zhixing, and Lian Jun, only Qiu Feng, Liu Huang, Ling Feng, Pan Chongche, and the intellectual little apprentice Huixin, as well as eighteen well-trained personal soldiers, followed.

The strength is indeed a little thin, which is also the reason why Guo Zhun and others are not at ease. However, if there are too many people, the purpose of inducing the enemy to take danger will not be achieved, and it will also run counter to the original intention of the plan to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

Under the careful arrangement of He Shoujie and Guo Zhun, more than 200 personal soldiers, divided into several teams, either drove cattle and sheep, or carried bags, all dressed as passers-by who were in a hurry along the way.

This area was originally a thoroughfare, and it has always been a place where merchants gathered, and hundreds of people walking on the road are not too ostentatious.

However, the soldiers from the Ningzhou battalion have already been hidden in many hidden places next to the road, and if they are not carefully observed, it is still difficult to find any flaws.

And Guo Zhun himself also disguised himself as a wealthy businessman, sitting in a gorgeous carriage and directing the dispatch in the center.

From Ningzhou to Pingyang Pass, the fast horse is also a journey of more than an hour, although the disguised group of people on the surface calmly, all the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the roadside, but in their hearts they are always vigilant, at any time to search for the enemy's whereabouts, all the way to the road took nearly two hours.

But strangely enough, this group of people is weak, and it is said that it is a delicacy in the mouth of the enemy. But along the way, there was not a single warning happening, not even suspicious pedestrians.

Li Yi was a little puzzled, and he didn't know if it was because the news was not delivered in time, or if the enemy was suspicious of this arrangement, and gave them such a long time to prepare calmly, but they didn't even find the slightest trace of the enemy.

Zhihe Shang didn't feel anything, with Li Yi accompanying him to talk and laugh, everyone else was depressed, and it seemed that the trap that had been carefully arranged with all his might was going to be in vain.

After a while, I came to the foot of Xihua Temple. Today is the opening ceremony of Xihua Temple, and I heard that the Xuanfu envoy accompanied the monks from Beijing to preside, although there was no notice posted in Ningzhou, but the people who heard the news nearby flocked to it, and even the people of the Great Righteous Ningguo also had a lot of coming, which was not expected in advance.

On the mountain road from the official road to Xihua Temple, there are pilgrims who enter the temple to offer incense, and the mountain gate is already crowded one after another.

Lin Jin had already gotten the news that the current inspection of Pingyang Pass had caused Lian Yong and Qi Yuan, the temporary monk of Xihua Temple, to wait at the foot of Xihua Temple.

Lian Yong is a rising star recommended by Jian Zheng, and after the Pingyang Pass post was upgraded to the inspection department, he was promoted to the inspection envoy, known for his cool head and steady behavior, this h2
