Chapter 315: Civil strife in Wagang
Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke shook their heads slightly, ignored Yuwen Chengdu, who was killed in battle, and led people to continue to rush towards the palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Wei County was breached, Yuwen Chengdu had also been killed; However, because of Yu Wenhua and his cowardice and fear of death, the palace was built like an iron pass, and Daxu's army completely blocked the enemy's attack with its tall courtyard walls.
Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke led the army to attack for several days, but they lost their troops in vain and did not break through the palace wall. After a period of cultivation, Li Mi had basically healed his sores, and he personally came to Wei County to take over the troops.
At this time, Li Mi had already sensed that something was wrong, what about Wang Bo, who was the internal response? Why hasn't he started yet? Li Mi ordered people to mobilize siege equipment and use trebuchets to begin attacking the wall; It didn't take long for the walls of the palace to begin to crumble in sections.
"Rush!" The sword in Li Mi's hand was raised, and the Wagang army was just about to rush forward; I heard someone shouting: "It's on fire, the palace is on fire!" ”
The whole palace burned like oiled firewood. It's just that in the blink of an eye, the entire palace has been on fire, and outsiders can't get in if they want to.
Li Mi stomped his feet in distress and hurriedly ordered someone to put out the fire; However, the gap was blocked by Xu Jun, and the fire inside was so big that they could only watch in vain as the fire engulfed the entire palace.
By the next day, the fire had been brought under control and finally extinguished, and the palace was in shambles, with nothing to be found except for the burnt black bones and the collapsed ruins. Yu culture and whether it is life or death, and even the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country have become a mystery.
Li Miqi's face was pale, he wasted more than a month of hard work, and lost his troops and generals; He was also seriously injured, but he didn't get any benefit, only that he almost spurted blood.
Li Mi informed Yang Tong of Luoyang about the matter here, and then returned to Wagang in a huff. As soon as Cheng Zhijie saw that the battle was over, he asked the army to withdraw from Cangcheng with the spoils of war and prepare to return to Shandong.
They walked back unhurriedly along the way, and when they brought them near Luoyang Dongling Pass, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting, and they thought it was the Sui army in Luoyang; Just get the team ready; At this time, Tanma came back to report, but there was a pair of Wagang troops chasing and killing a few people.
Cheng Zhijie was stunned for a moment, and asked everyone to stay put, he and Dongfang Yumei led a pair of personal soldiers into the mountain. When they got closer, they were stunned, it turned out that there were about 2,000 people in this Wagang army, led by Meng Rang and Xu Yuanlang; The four people who were besieged, Lao Cheng, all knew Xie Yingdeng, Ma Saifei, Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi.
"Why did the Wagang Army fight on its own?" Cheng Zhijie and Dongfang Yumei looked at each other, but after all, they were closer to Xie Yingdeng, Qi Guoyuan, and Li Ruqi, and when they saw that they were besieged, they immediately stepped forward to separate them.
When Meng Rang and Xu Yuanlang saw that it was Cheng Zhijie, they were so frightened that their necks were cold, and they didn't even dare to fight, so they ran away with people.
Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi gasped tiredly: "Fifth brother, why are you here?" Didn't we meet in a dream? ”
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "I still want to ask you what's going on?" What do you do? Li Mi rebelled in his absence? Why did your own people fight? ”
Qi Guoyuan sighed and said, "It's hard to say!" ”
"Well, let's talk about it later, let's go! My army is at the back; This is not a place to stay for a long time, so let's talk about it later. ”
The four nodded and followed him to the barracks; At this time, it is nearly evening; Cheng Zhijie asked people to camp in a chosen place, and then took them to the big tent of the Chinese army, and arranged for everyone to sit down at the banquet.
Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi pulled something into their mouths like hungry ghosts, and said while eating: "It's delicious, it's delicious; I have long heard that the fifth brother has a good appetite, so there are many delicacies in Shandong; Sure enough! Don't be stunned and eat quickly. ”
Cheng Zhijie's face sank and said: "My reputation is ruined by you; Why do people all over the world say that I am delicious, delicious, beautiful, and fighting, and I am a drunken person. No one will say that I am benevolent and moral, gentle and elegant! ”
As soon as his words came out, Dongfang Yumei and Ma Saifei laughed out loud; Xie Yingden smiled: "This is your own reason, fifth brother, who made you call yourself the Demon King?" Everyone else is trying to avoid this derogatory word, but you have to put it on yourself. If you are smearing yourself, you don't know the truth and let people spread rumors, of course, you won't have a good reputation. ”
Cheng Zhijie nodded and said, "Say whatever others like!" Tell me what's going on with you? Why did you fight yourself? ”
Qi Guoyuan sighed and said, "It's still quite complicated to say, these are actually two things. The two of us went to Longhu Village with Meng Rang, Xu Yuanlang and Zhang Heng to pick up Pei Cuiyun. Since Pei Yuanqing's death, Pei Renji has been ill; Miss Pei returned to her hometown and built a mound for her younger brother, and never came out again.
Some time ago, Zhang Heng suggested to the King of Wei that Pei Cuiyun had the image of a rich and noble prosperous man, and asked the King of Wei to accept her as his queen; Bae Renji had also nodded; We were ordered to take over. ”
He didn't find that Cheng Zhijie's face was even more gloomy, Pei Cuiyun was Lao Cheng's wife in the romance, and if he didn't marry Pei Cuiyun, it didn't mean that he could let others marry her.
"What about Miss Pei? How did you get into the conflict? ”
Li Ruqi said: "Don't mention it, Pei Cuiyun didn't agree, and drove them out with a sneer." Meng Rang and Xu Yuanlang paid attention, disguised themselves as robbers, and kidnapped Pei Cuiyun away.
Unexpectedly, when we came to Dongling Pass, we met an old monk who was uneven, and he broke us up with a stick and rescued Pei Cuiyun.
When we were at a loss for what to do, we suddenly found a hidden immortal temple on the mountain, and we met Xie Yingdeng and Ma Saifei inside. Zhang Heng said that they were traitors and led the team to arrest them, and of course we couldn't watch them arrest their brothers, so they started a scuffle. ”
Cheng Zhijie was stunned for a moment and asked Xie Yingdeng, "What's the matter with the two of you?" Xie Yingden and Ma Saifei blushed and said: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the jokes of the fifth brother, you may also know that I have always been not very interested in any worldly things, and I always want to be able to love the landscape and be at ease one day." Originally, there was still the righteousness of my brothers, and I was reluctant to leave; But since I arrived in Wagang Mountain, the brotherly affection has become weaker and weaker, and I am a little disheartened.
Originally, I wanted to find a place to squint, cultivate immortals and cultivate the Tao without asking about the world; Fortunately, the girl Arima had a bad fate, and she was newly bereaved by the pain of losing her husband and was disheartened; She was willing to leave with me, and she couldn't go into seclusion, so we left Wagang and came here to find a place where people rarely went to hide. I didn't expect to create impermanence, but I met the Wagang Army again. ”
Marseille said: "This is not complaining, I took the initiative to follow him, and he was also entangled by me. Xie Yingdeng took Ma Saifei's hand and shook his head gently.
Cheng Zhijie secretly sighed in his heart: "What a big green hat halo does this Meng Haigong have, and all three ladies belong to others?" He smiled at the two of them and said, "This is nothing, I want to congratulate Brother Yingdeng on winning this beautiful couple." ”
Only then did the two of them relax and breathe a sigh of relief. Cheng Zhijie said: "Yingdeng, this time you were found by Wagang, it is inevitable that they will not come to harass you in the future, so let's go back to Shandong with me!" We have a lot of famous mountains and rivers there, you can choose where you want to go. ”
Xie Yingdeng said: "Okay, then thank you Fifth Brother for taking it in!" Cheng Zhijie glared and said: "They are all my own brothers, why are you still polite to me?" ”
Qi Guoyuan said: "Yes, go!" Go! Anyway, Li Mi has long looked at me unpleasantly; Let's go too. Since Li Mi came back from Siming Mountain, he has become less and less concerned about us old brothers; and do not listen much to the contrary advice; On the contrary, he obeyed the words of a flattering person like Li Yuanzhen. ”
Li Ruqi said: "It's not that Li Mi got the benefit from the original, the first thing that came to mind was to distribute it to his soldiers, but now they are all included in his own treasury; There's a lot of talk about it; I think he's going to be finished sooner or later; It's better to leave early. ”
Dongfang Yumei glared and said, "Don't just take care of yourself, Sister Pei Cuiyun was robbed by others!" We need to get her helped. ”
Cheng Zhizhi nodded and said, "Yes, even for Pei Yuanqing, he can't die without help, do you know which temple that old monk is?" ”
Qi Guoyuan said: "I know." He once left a name, called the natural monk, also known as Yunlongzeng; It is not far from the Xiaoyao Ridge of Erlong Mountain. ”
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "What an arrogant Yunlong monk, since he left his address, it will be easy to do." Anyway, if you run away, the monk can't run to the temple; Rest for the time being, and tomorrow we will go to him to settle accounts. ”
Everyone agreed, and after they were full of wine and food, they went back to rest without mentioning it. The next day, Cheng Zhijie led people into Erlong Mountain, came to the bottom of Xiaoyao Ridge, let the army set up camp, and he led people to urge the horse to Xiaoyao Mountain.
This Xiaoyao Ridge ancient timber wolf forest, the mountain is dangerous, and occasionally the sound of tigers howling wolves can be heard, which makes people's backs cold. Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "This Yunlong monk has good means when he arrives, who would dare to live in this place by ordinary people?" ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, and took the blade in their hands and secretly guarded. They walked along the mountain path for about several hours before they finally reached the top of the Loose Ridge.
On the mountain, however, there is a relatively flat dense forest, and in the depths of the dense forest lies a dilapidated temple. Qi Guoyuan pouted and said: "This old monk is also problematic, who will go to this place to burn incense and worship the Buddha, no wonder his temple is so dilapidated." ”
And when they had spoken, they came to the gate of the monastery; When I got closer, I found that the temple was still very large, and there were several courtyards in front and back. Now the mountain gate is closed, and you can't see what's going on inside.
Qi Guoyuan said: "Wait, take me to the door!" As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, came to the front of the mountain gate, and banged on the temple gate.
