Chapter 68 The Burning Zichen Temple
Chapter 68 The Burning Zichen Temple
I slept until midnight when I was awakened by the chirping of a fox.
I saw the fire outside the tent, and when I looked at the direction again, it turned out to be the direction of Zichenguan.
Tie Xinyuan screamed, jumped off the bed, didn't have time to put on his shoes, and ran to Zichenguan like crazy.
Brother Qiao followed closely behind, and the two-foot-long short sword was already in his hand.
When he came to the outside of Zichenguan, he found that the gate was still closed, Tie Xinyuan jumped up and bumped into it, the gate clanged, and Tie Xinyuan was bounced back by the gate again.
Brother Qiao drank the water and supported Tie Xinyuan, who obviously had no reason, and the short sword in his hand was inserted in the crack of the door, sliding down hard, and the thick door latch was silently cut off by this short sword.
Brother Qiao kicked open the door and found that the main hall of Zichenguan had been wrapped in flames, and there was no hope of rescue at all.
Tie Xinyuan screamed in despair, and was about to rush into the main hall, he knew very well that Zichenguan was not for statues, there were only portraits of the ancestors of the Zhao family in the main hall, and his mother, Zhao Wan and the eldest princess lived in the main hall.
The water dragged Tie Xinyuan tightly, Brother Qiao roared, and actually carried the rain urn in front of the main hall, and threw the water urn into the main hall with water, the fire converged slightly, and in a blink of an eye, the flame seemed to burn more vigorously.
Desperate to the extreme, Tie Xinyuan bit his fingers but calmed down, looked around, and didn't see any Daogu of Zichen Temple fighting fires.
Not only was Aunt Dao invisible, but even Bao Zheng and the attachΓ© were also missing.
Tie Xinyuan lifted the fox that was circling around him, and roared angrily: "Find out the old lady!" β
I don't know if the fox understood it, but as soon as he landed, he squeaked along the side hall on the left and ran to the back.
Brother Qiao gave a short sword to Tie Xinyuan, dragging him to chase the fox in a hurry.
If everyone is in the main hall, there is no need to think about it at all, and it must have been a long-planned arson to burn like this in a very short time. No time is given to react.
The fox came to a low door, scratched the door hard, and Tie Xinyuan rushed over, cut the latch with his short sword, and kicked the door open, and heard a frightened cry from inside.
Brother Qiao's torch was handed in, and Tie Xinyuan saw clearly that there were women in Taoist robes inside.
"Mother! Are you in there? Tie Xinyuan yelled in disregard.
The middle-aged Daoist aunt who Tie Xinyuan knew patted her chest and said, "Your mother and the two princesses have gone to the apse, this is a plan arranged by Bao Zheng." β
Hearing what the middle-aged Daoist aunt said, Tie Xinyuan stuffed the short knife in his sleeve into the middle-aged Daoist aunt without saying a word: "Auntie, you go ahead and hide it." Someone will come soon, and I'll go find my mother. β
Tie Xinyuan's brain was in a mess, and after barely sorting out some clues, he continued to take Brother Qiao to the apse. There was a high wall between the apse and the front hall, and the gate was also closed, but there was a violent sound of blades crashing behind the door, and Tie Xinyuan and Brother Qiao immediately gave up the plan to open the door.
The short sword given by Brother Qiao is so sharp, not only can it cut wood like cutting tofu, but it can also cut stone. The bricks fell to the ground one after another under the slash of the short sword, and in a short time, a hole the size of a human head was cut in the thick high wall.
The opposite side is swarthy. Occasionally, the light of the flickering fire shone through.
Just when Tie Xinyuan and Brother Qiao were about to expand the hole, they heard Ling'er say above their heads: "Auntie is fine, I saw it." β
The two looked up and saw Ling'er sitting on a high wall. Pointing to a place, he seemed very happy.
Tie Xinyuan and Brother Qiao invariably forgot about their stupid behavior just now, and stepped on the ladder that Ling'er found. Also climbed the high wall.
There was a lot of chaos inside the high wall, Bao Zheng stood in front of a group of women, pointing to a group of scuffling crowds and didn't know what to say, his mother and Zhao Wan hugged another injured woman who couldn't see her eyebrows clearly, and sat under the eaves, as if she was helping the injured woman.
didn't have time to think about it, Tie Xinyuan jumped off the high wall with a bang, and there was a sharp pain on the soles of his feet, and the wounds on the soles of his feet that had not yet grown were broken open again.
jumped up and down to Wang Rouhua, and saw that she was doing well, not looking like she was injured, so she was completely relieved.
Zhao Wan cried loudly when she saw Tie Xinyuan, pointed to the woman in the Taoist robe and cried: "My aunt is very injured, you can help me." β
Tie Xinyuan saw his mother and Zhao Wan, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Secretly took a look at the battle situation in front of Bao Zheng, and found that his subordinates seemed to be fighting more with less, there were already seven or eight corpses lying on the ground, with Bao Zheng's men in the majority, and the killers in black seemed to be getting braver and braver, and several times they were broken through by the murderer and intercepted almost in front of Bao Zheng, and the situation was precarious.
Bao Zheng's bad luck has always been Tie Xinyuan's long-standing wish, after quickly judging the situation, he happily cut off a door panel, and Qiaoge Shui'er, Huo'er, Ling'er, and Fu'er carried the eldest princess together, dragged his mother and Zhao Wan, and Xiao Shui Zhu, and Zhang Mama groped silently towards the dark side wall.
The topographic map of Zichen Temple, Tie Xinyuan had already known it, and after bypassing the two tall halls, he came to a small door.
Brother Qiao swung his sword and broke the chain on the door, and when he was about to go out first, he was pushed aside by Tie Xinyuan, and then five bright sword lights slashed heavily on Tie Xinyuan's body.
Tie Xinyuan, who didn't have time to react at all, was stabbed five times before he was kicked in the chest by a big foot and flew backwards in the air.
At the same time, the sound of crossbow arrows flying sounded, and the short crossbows in the hands of Qiaoge, Shui'er, Ling'er, and Huo'er shot all the crossbow arrows that didn't fall one by one and pierced the chest and abdomen of the black-clothed man who suddenly appeared.
Wang Rouhua watched her son be stabbed, and with a snort, her eyes rolled and she fainted.
Brother Qiao didn't care, he was standing beside Tie Xinyuan, and he could see very clearly that these five knives were all slashed at Tie Xinyuan's upper body, and the soft armor was created by him, and he knew very well that these five knives could not hurt Tie Xinyuan at all.
As for Zhao Wan, she didn't know what happened when she met, but she saw Tie Xinyuan, who was the leader, suddenly flying backwards.
The pain in his chest almost suffocated Tie Xinyuan, choked and coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered to his feet, and was shocked to find that there were five long cuts on his clothes, and the cold wind poured in from the hole, and he was cold all over his body in an instant.
Seeing his mother fall to the ground, Tie Xinyuan took off his tattered clothes and threw them away from the distance as soon as possible, and then stepped forward to pick up his mother and pinched her with his hands.
Wang Rouhua woke up slowly, her eyes rolled and she was about to wail, but she saw her son staring at her with big eyes, and quickly covered her mouth, classifying everything she had just seen and heard into a nightmare.
Even tears are like floods that open the floodgates, and they can't be stopped.
"How is it a man?" Brother Qiao used his short sword to pick open the masked cloth of the man in black, and said strangely.
Tie Xinyuan instructed Shui Er and them to carry the eldest princess to continue to leave, and after her mother, Zhao Wan Shui Zhu'er, and Mama Zhang also walked out of the back door, they swung their swords and cut open the pants of the man in black.
Tie Xinyuan glanced at it and said to Brother Qiao, who had a strange face: "The guards of the Zhao family are unreliable, I didn't expect that even the eunuchs are unreliable, let's give this news to the prince as soon as possible."
He has taken care of our brother for so many years, so it's better for him to prepare early. β
Outsiders to Zichen Temple were full of voices, and Inspector Zhang and his team were discussing whether to enter Zichen Temple.
Tie Xinyuan handed over the injured eldest princess to Inspector Zhang, whose eyes were red with excitement, and this guy immediately pulled out his knife, and left Zichenguan with people embracing the princess.
The five hundred forbidden troops stationed at the foot of the mountain poured over like an iron stream, and the generals led by them seemed to have been stupid, and did not surround Zichenguan at the first time, but chose to kill all of them into Zichenguan.
Tie Xinyuan didn't see Brother Qiao when he turned around, sighed, and left Zichenguan with the invincible Zhang Patrol, at this time, saving the eldest princess was the first priority.
Wang Rouhua is no stranger to treating trauma, she doesn't know how many times she has treated Qiao'er and them, so that gold sore medicine, silk threads and silver needles to suture wounds have become her must-haves.
After finding his own package from his son's tent, he began to sew up wounds for the eldest princess.
Listening to Zhao Wan, the eldest princess was slashed by the man in black who suddenly jumped out.
Tie Xinyuan was guarding outside the tent, and Zhao Wan watched Wang Rouhua sew her aunt's skin and flesh like clothes, and turned her gaze to Tie Xinyuan like a helper.
Tie Xinyuan wrapped the soles of his feet in clean linen cloth on the one hand, and said to the princess: "This is Hua Tuo thaumaturgy, and it is the most effective way to deal with such external injuries."
After cleaning the wound with spirits and removing debris, a quick suture of the wound is beneficial to the wound to heal as soon as possible.
Huo'er, show the princess the wound on your back. β
Huo'er smiled and lifted his clothes, revealing a three-inch-long wound on his back and said: "Three years ago, I fell from a tree and was cut on my back by a branch. β
Zhao Wan looked at the centipede-like wound on Huo'er's back and muttered, "It's so ugly." β
said such words in his mouth, but the nervous look on his face disappeared, and he actually had the courage to watch Wang Rouhua's every move carefully.
Brother Qiao still didn't come back, Tie Xinyuan sighed again, and then found Huo'er and whispered a few words, Huo'er took Shui'er and Ling'er and a group of people to the construction site.
When the sky was bright, Bao Zheng came to Tie Xinyuan's camp, and before he could speak, Tie Xinyuan whispered: "The eldest princess is fine, she woke up just now, and now she is asleep again, with my mother and princess taking care of her, it will be fine." β
Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, slapped Tie Xinyuan on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, you took the opportunity to remove the eldest princess, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." (To be continued.) )
