Chapter 127: The Battle of Taihua Temple
At this moment, it has become a royal mansion.
Looking at the letter in his hand and listening to the report of his subordinates, King Cheng's face turned pale.
He squeezed Xinfa in his hand, looked at the person on the ground with cold eyes, and his voice was unforgivable, "You mean, Lord Zhang, Lord Li, and Lord Wang are all in prison?" ”
The subordinate knelt on the ground and trembled, "Yes, my lord, my subordinates have just received news that they have been detained and will be arraigned this afternoon." ”
King Cheng tapped his fingers on the table, "What has the emperor done recently!" ”
"Tomorrow, the royal family will accompany Ye Guifei to Taihua Temple to burn incense."
King Cheng snorted coldly, a little incredulous, "What did you say?" ”
"Lord Wang, you heard it right, it's true." Immediately, the guard looked at King Cheng and still didn't believe it, and whispered, "I heard that Ye Guifei has just recovered from a serious illness, and I want to burn incense and pray for blessings in the temple......
"Healing from a serious illness?"
"Just last time, the emperor was assassinated, didn't she block it? The emperor already favored her, and after that incident, he was even more obedient to her, no, he only heard that Ye Guifei said that she was going to burn incense, and the emperor didn't say a word to push off government affairs and wanted to accompany her in person. ”
"Bump."
King Cheng's fist slammed on the table, and his elbow was red and he didn't know it.
"It's ridiculous, it's just a mess to put aside national affairs for the sake of a woman."
"Not really."
Cheng Wang became more and more angry, "Before, I only thought that he Yue Shuhua was cowardly and indecisive, but now, he actually threw aside national affairs for a woman, which is just nonsense." ”
"Therefore, this position still needs a person as decisive as you, Lord Wang, to sit firmly."
These words can be regarded as a slap on the ass of King Cheng, and the flame in his heart dissipates most of it in an instant.
After a moment of silence, he continued, "In order to avoid extraneous complications, find a way to execute those people before they are arraigned." ”
The people on the ground were shocked, "Lord Wang, those three adults are useful to us, and they died like this, isn't it too ......?"
"Why, you dare to question my decision?"
The guard hurriedly lowered his head, and his body trembled more and more, "My subordinates don't dare." ”
King Cheng glanced at the guards, "Those who achieve great things must be ruthless, we have been preparing for so many years, and we are about to succeed, is it possible, but because of a few ministers, we will bury our future?" ”
The guard's body trembled more and more.
"Yes, the little one understands."
Seeing that he was obedient, King Cheng continued, "Don't worry, this king is not ruthless to anyone, like you, who has been by my side and has never complained for this king, if something happens, this king will do his best to protect you." ”
The guard hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"Don't worry, after the deed is done, this king will never treat you badly."
Hearing this, the guard continued to kowtow a few more times.
King Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Okay, you go down first." Be sure to do it as soon as possible and leave no flaws. ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
It wasn't until the figure of the guard disappeared that King Cheng turned around, and with a movement of his fingers, a figure appeared in the shadows immediately.
"Lord Wang."
King Cheng nodded faintly.
"I heard what I said."
"Yes."
"Prepare manpower and ambush around the temple, this time, this king must let him go and never return."
"Yes."
"In addition, go and inform them, just say that the last time they behaved, this king was disappointed, and I hope this time I don't miss again."
The shadow nodded, and quickly vanished.
In the evening, the shadow finally arrived at a place.
It's a valley.
It is smoky all year round.
It is said that there are many fierce beasts growing on this mountain, and if they get close, they will definitely die.
The man looked around for a while, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, he took the flute in his hand and blew it.
Soon, there was movement in the valley.
Several figures shuttled through the valley in an instant, and soon arrived in front of the black shadow.
"Tomorrow, the emperor will accompany Ye Guifei to Taihua Temple to burn incense, this is an opportunity, don't miss it."
As he spoke, a scroll flew out of the man's hand, and on it, the itinerary of Emperor Yue Shuhua for tomorrow was recorded in detail.
The man on the other side was about to nod, but the black shadow said again, "My prince said that he was very disappointed in what happened last time, and if he still misses this time, you guys, do it yourself." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the people on the other side changed instantly.
The man at the head tried his best to restrain himself, so that he didn't kick the black shadow on the spot, "Got it." ”
Responding lightly, the black shadow said some more warning words in an extremely arrogant manner, and then left.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, a figure tried to catch up with him and kill him.
He was stopped by the man in front of him reaching out.
"Big brother, they are too rampant, today, I must teach them a lesson."
The man's face was not much better.
"It's natural to clean up, but it's not time yet."
"I can't swallow this breath, what is the king, our master is the real ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by the man in charge, and the man's words were stopped.
"Carefully check the above process, since the Dog Emperor personally sent it to the door this time, how can we let the tiger return to the mountain!"
"Do you need to tell your master about this?"
"The master is delicate, maybe there is a better arrangement."
The man nodded, already understood, "I'll go find the master and come back." ”
The man nodded faintly, glanced again in the direction where the man had disappeared, and then waved his hand and returned the same way with the rest of the people.
Early the next morning, Emperor Yue Shuhua and Concubine Ye Feiyan took everyone to Taihua Temple with great fanfare.
The name is good, pray for the blessings of the people!
Setting off in such a name, the officials or the common people can't say anything if they want to.
Moreover, because Yue Shuhua has always loved the Ming day, in the hearts of the people, in fact, no one will object to what he does.
Therefore, as soon as this name came out, the people praised it one after another.
"The emperor is really a good person, and he doesn't forget the people in his busy schedule."
"The concubine is also a good person, and she is a glorious person, but she does not forget the people."
Words like that, on the street, can always be heard.
The emperor went to Taihua Temple, and the others gave way.
The Imperial Forest Army had gone to Taihua Temple the night before to defend itself, and today, Taihua Temple only received these two pilgrims.
As for Shang Yunqian and Qin Muhan, they had already led everyone to ambush around.
This was the result of Qin Muhan's deliberations after entering the palace that day.
The failure of the last assassination made the murderer shy away from the palace.
If they can't make any more moves, Qin Muhan won't be able to find their flaws.
Therefore, after discussing with Yue Shuhua, Yue Shuhua decided to take a risk.
Well, aren't you denied access to the palace?
Then I'll come out.
So in fact, today's trip to Taihua Temple has its own purpose.
Perhaps everyone knows exactly what they are about to face next, and everyone is on guard against each other.
However, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
This applies to each of their gangs.
Guarding against each other, but it's all opportunities.
For those who become kings, killing Yue Shuhua will make him the next emperor.
For Yue Shuhua, if he catches these people, he will have one more guarantee.
March is a good season.
The grass grows and the warbler flies, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and everywhere exudes a strong vitality.
The greenery is like a new hope anytime, anywhere.
In the morning, Taihua Temple is peaceful, solemn, solemn and quiet.
In addition to the sound of bells from time to time, only the sound of small animals could be faintly heard on the entire mountain road, and the footsteps of the two gradually came from the bottom of the mountain.
Although it was all planned.
But when it comes to faith, the two are still very cautious.
Refused to carry the sedan chair eight times and climbed up in person.
In this way, the sincerity of the two can be shown.
After all, it is true to lead the snake out of the hole, and it is also true to pray for the blessing of the people and the blessing of the family.
However, some people are always so impatient.
Before the two of them had reached the top of the mountain, they were only halfway through when they were assassinated.
Fortunately, the Imperial Guards were not vegetarians, and for the first wave of assassins, they had already taken them all down in a short time.
The crowd panicked and hurried up the hill.
The chaotic and fast pace startled the animals in the forest to scurry around.
The shadows of the trees are mottled.
Yue Shuhua supported the panting Mengniang, very distressed.
"Do you want to take a break?"
Thinking that there might be an assassin at any time, Mengniang shook her head slightly.
"This time it must be just a temptation, we need to go quickly, after going up, it will be much safer."
The presiding officer of Taihua Temple has always supported the emperor, and as early as when Yue Shuhua sent a letter to explain the intention, he had already let the monks in the temple take their places.
Like these eminent monks, they are always able to see things that others can't see.
For example, this time, Yue Shuhua clearly didn't say anything, but he had already seen through everything and made preparations in advance.
"I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down."
Meng Niang shook her head and decided to leave the Cloud Country with Yue Shuhua, she had already expected a lot.
These things are all expected.
However, she is not afraid.
Even if her martial arts skills are not as good as before, but in this life, until she dies, she will no longer be separated from Yue Shuhua for various reasons.
Between them, too much has been missed.
In the future, whether it is life or death, peace or wealth, bear it together.
Mengniang has recovered from a serious illness.
The body is still very weak.
In fact, the wounds were never intact.
However, the situation was such that they could not wait long.
Moreover, it is reasonable to accompany Mengniang Shangxiang to be a more convincing reason for the opponent.
Yue Shuhua dotes on Mengniang, this is something everyone knows.
When she recovered from a serious illness, she proposed incense to pray for blessings, and it was reasonable that Yue Shuhua would accompany her.
Even if others will guess, they will think more.
Mengniang's trip to risk her life is unavoidable.
When I think of these battles, I am deceitful.
Yue Shuhua was very uncomfortable in his heart.
He just wants to accompany Mengniang to watch the flowers.
Watch the sun rise and the moon together, and watch the vicissitudes of the sea together.
It's cowardice or anything else.
He has been indebted to this woman for too many years.
If the world is stable, they can also spend the moon.
It's just a pity that now that the enemy is present, all the children's love can only be put aside for the time being.
Master Empty is right!
Without prosperity, there is no emotion.
The world is rioting, how can you still fall in love?
Especially the children of the royal family, who bear the brunt.
No matter how distressed you are, you can only grit your teeth and endure it.
I only hope that the days of tranquility will come sooner, and these intrigues and intrigues will end sooner.
Yue Shuhua sighed, squatted down directly, and carried Mengniang on her back and ran briskly towards the mountain.
The Guards followed.
Xu is people on the mountain noticed the movement, and Yue Shuhua and the others ran halfway, and more than a dozen warrior monks came to greet them.
The people in the shadows had to retreat temporarily.
The two of them made incense and fasted, and Mengniang's body had reached its limit.
After Yue Shuhua sent him back to the room, he relocated the person from the secret passage inside.
And Yue Shuhua, after listening to Zen for a while, returned to the room.
Night, quietly falling.
It's silent.
Dozens of black shadows fell from the sky.
The courtyard that Yue Shuhua and Mengniang entered was sturdy.
Soon, the Imperial Guards noticed the movement and quickly attacked.
The crowd quickly joined each other.
Yue Shuhua heard the movement and left the room, and another team of dozens of people immediately chased after him.
Fortunately, there were warrior monks from Taihua Temple to escort him all the way, and Yue Shuhua's life was not in danger.
This night is destined to be restless.
Someone broke into the room and wanted to use Mengniang to threaten Yue Shuhua.
However, when I entered, the room was empty.
The sound of swords and fights is endless.
The originally quiet Taihua Temple, tonight, is destined to be bloody and bloody.
Taihua Temple is as bright as day.
Everywhere there were constantly flickering figures.
Yue Shuhua stood with Master Likong, looking at the constantly fighting figure in front of him with a calm face.
So many, so many people want to kill him.
But who else is there among these people besides those who have become kings?
Look at the martial arts routines, moves, not all together.
The three people who were arrested by Qin Muhan have been secretly transferred, and the person who went to poison was arrested by Qin Muhan's people.
Some things about becoming a king can be said to have been decided in the palm of your hand.
If you can capture the king alive this time, or find more favorable evidence, then you will be in danger of becoming a king.
However, it seems that the situation is somewhat complicated.
What is that legendary Moon Shadow Sect?
Month......
Is it related to the royal family?
These, no matter what Yue Shuhua thinks, he can't think of a reason.
At this moment, looking at the people in front of him, the smell of blood continued to spread to every inch of Taihua Temple.
Yue Shuhua is deeply sorry.
"I'm sorry, Master Kong, but I brought all this to Taihua Temple and disturbed the quiet here."
Likong is the host of Taihua Temple, a legend-like figure.
I heard that his martial arts are unfathomable, and his age has become a mystery.
There's always a lot to see through in your eyes.
Know the past, know the future......
Someone once knelt at the gate of Taihua Temple for a whole month in order to get the word proverb of Master Kong, except for going to the thatched house, the rest of the time was spent on kneeling.
Even the meals are carried out on their knees.
I thought that such a move would move the world.
However, he didn't look at it, but only said, "Everything has its own fixed number in the dark." ”
The man had no choice but to leave, and later pilgrims said that the man was addicted to gambling, and when he returned, he returned to his old job, and was beaten to death soon because he owed too much debt......
Everyone sighed.
Only Master Kong, with a calm face, seemed to have known about it......
Of course, those are all rumors, whether they are true or not, no one knows.
At this moment, listening to Yue Shuhua's apology, he only said one word of Amitabha.
He said, "The emperor's benevolent heart does not have to feel guilty, all this is the will of heaven." ”
"Always, I'm still deeply guilty."
"Where is there no home without a country?" The empty words were gentle, "Only when the emperor is healthy, the royal family is stable, and the people, and even my Taihua Temple, can be truly safe." ”
Having said that, it would be too hypocritical for Ruoyue Shuhua to continue to apologize.
At this moment, a dark shadow came from the sky.
He was strong in martial arts, and he raised his sword and slashed directly at Yue Shuhua.
Seeing that the sword was about to be inserted into Yue Shuhua's neck, the air on one side suddenly made a move, and with one hand, he pulled Yue Shuhua and transferred the place.
Seeing this, the black shadow raised his sword again.
Qin Muhan and Shang Yunqian, who were secretly in the dark, suddenly appeared.
The black shadow suddenly felt bad, and jumped on the eaves to escape.
After waiting for a long time, he finally waited for the main master, how could Qin Muhan and Shang Yunqian let it go.
The two of them were light, and with a leap of jump, they chased after the black shadow.
The fighting in the courtyard continues.
It's just that under the joint efforts of the Royal Forest Army, Tsing Yi Wei, and warrior monks, the man in black was gradually defeated.
There are countless people in black who are constantly choked.
On the other side, Shang Yunqian and Qin Muhan followed the black shadow and kept heading towards the back mountain.
Here, all the ancient trees grow, and in the dark night, the clothes of the people in black are a natural barrier.
He is strong in martial arts and has a strong body.
Taking advantage of the darkness and dodging quickly, it brought infinite difficulties to the pursuit of the two.
Soon, the shadow vanished.
Shang Yunqian and Qin Muhan stopped, the two of them back to back, looking around vigilantly.
After a while, the wind and sand rose.
The shadows of the trees are swaying.
A dark shadow descended from the sky and completely scuffled with the two of them.
The martial arts of the man in black were the first people Shang Yunqian had ever seen, comparable to Qin Muhan.
Fortunately, the two of them worked together, and the man in black couldn't get any benefit in the hands of the two.
About a stick of incense, the fight between the three ended with the black cloth with a black shadow face being picked off.
Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the black shadow spilled some medicinal powder, seeing this, Qin Muhan rushed over violently and took Shang Yunqian away from the place, and quickly used his robe to isolate the medicinal powder.
When the two of them stabilized their bodies and turned their heads, the figure was nowhere to be found.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw a touch of horror in each other's eyes.
Back at the temple, everything is settled.
The crowd is clearing the battlefield.
The living, imprisoned, the dead, dragged away.
Mengniang has woken up, and at this moment, she is standing in the courtyard with Yue Shuhua waiting for the two of them.
Seeing Shang Yunqian coming back, Mengniang hurriedly rushed up to check, and only after seeing that Shang Yunqian had no scars on his body was a little relieved.
"I heard from your father that the man is strong in martial arts, and he is very worried about you."
Shang Yun smiled slightly, after this period of adjustment, the surprise she felt when she saw that person in the forest had completely disappeared.
"Mother, I'm a martial arts master now, and Qingxuan is not my opponent, what are you worried about."
Mengniang didn't believe it, and glared at her directly.
Shang Yun smacked his tongue shallowly.
yes.
In the eyes of parents, no matter how good you are, you are still the child who keeps them worried.
Yue Shuhua could still restrain himself, but after his gaze swept over Shang Yunqian and Qin Muhan, he nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Immediately, a few people entered the room and sorted out the events of tonight.
And everyone expected it was right.
Some of these people were kings.
They have confessed.
The details need to be brought back for interrogation before the case can be finalized.
As for the rest of the part, judging by the markings on their bodies, it was the Lunaris Sect.
Those people, hand them over to Qing Xuan.
As for who they are working for or what is hidden in this, at present, it is not known.
"Go to sleep."
Looking at the tired Yue Shuhua and Mengniang, Qin Muhan said, "The next thing is to leave it to me and Qianqian." ”
Mengniang's body, Yue Shuhua, has always known that although Mengniang was not at the scene before, how could she have a good rest if such a big thing happened.
Hearing Qin Muhan say this at this moment, he also knew that it was not a good idea for everyone to spend time here.
He nodded and said, "The gangs are vicious and scheming, you must be careful." ”
The two nodded.
"It's time to collect evidence, Qingxuan, they have already collected evidence, and the interrogation is not in a hurry for a while, you should also go back and rest first."
The two were about to nod, and Qing Xuan hurriedly ran over.
"Your Majesty, my lord, something has happened."
Under the persuasion of Shang Yunqian and Yue Shuhua in turn, Mengniang had to go to rest first.
The rest of them all went to the place where the Moon Shadow Sect was temporarily imprisoned.
The abbot had arrived and made a preliminary examination of the corpse on the ground.
When a few people arrived, he just stood up.
"Poisoning."
Shang Yunqian was surprised, "But after being caught, Qing Xuan and the others have been guarding their side, and they have no chance to contact the poison." ”
Qin Muhan answered, "These killers have a rule, they will put poison in their dentures when they are training, once they are caught, or the mission fails, in order not to betray their employers, they will bite through the dentures and devour the poison......"
Shang Yun smacked his tongue, "Such a vicious ......"
"They are people who live on the tip of a knife, and although they are vicious to their opponents, they are very loyal to their own beliefs."
Otherwise, they would not have given up their lives immediately after being caught.
For some reason, seeing these people, Shang Yunqian actually had some admiration in his heart.
"So what can I do now, clues, are you broken?"
"No, it won't."
Qin Muhan said, "The information on their bodies has been almost exposed since they were caught, and the rest, even if they are alive, can't ask for anything valuable." ”
After a moment of silence, Qin Muhan continued, "Perhaps, what do other people know?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Shang Yunqian thought of those people who were being detained.
Anyway, she didn't understand these things very well, whatever Qin Muhan said, she would do it.
It's just that when she thinks of the man in the woods, she can't stop beating the drums in her heart.
"That person ......"
"If my guess is correct, he should be the leader of the Lunaris Faction."
After saying this, Qin Muhan said to Qing Xuan beside him, "You go and check the recent movements of Prince Yue Chang'an." ”
The people present were all stunned when they heard the words. Except for Shang Yunqian.
"My lord, do you want to inform the emperor about this matter?"
