Chapter 152 Maitreya rebels

In the darkness of the night, a group of cavalry, darker than the night, foraging for a panther, quietly watched the fleeing crowd in the distance.

Suddenly, a green firework burst into the night sky.

The leader of the cavalry put down his face protection and said hoarsely: "Attack!" ”

The more than 300 horsemen who did not move like a mountain suddenly shook like a landslide and the ground cracked. The panther, who had been watching for a long time, pounced wildly on its prey, the tweed sedan chair that was wrapped in the chaos of the people.

With enough sprint distance, the cavalry of the conical assault easily gained a huge momentum. In the blink of an eye, in front of the Rebel People's Front, the Maitreya Sect members who had already woken up from their madness, where did they still have the courage to block the impact of the tide of Qiantang. They screamed and fled in all directions, but there were many people in the night, and some people fell one after another, and once they fell, they were trampled by countless people, and then they trampled more, and more trampled appeared......

For a while, before the black cavalry arrived, the Maitreya Sect was already wailing all over the field, with countless casualties.

The black-clothed guards who came out of the Zhulu River were already like iron stones, not only were they not shaken by the tragedy in front of them, but they sprinted at a more violent speed. Under their leadership, the black-clothed iron cavalry pierced into the tofu-like enemy formation without stopping. Any Maitreya followers who could not escape were either knocked out sideways or crushed into the mud.

The black-clothed cavalry did not encounter any effective obstacles along the way, and even after breaking through to the enemy group for a distance of more than ten feet, their speed did not slow down at all. At this time, it was less than five zhang away from the green sedan chair.

The strange-robed guests who guarded the palanquin also discovered that this group of evil gods was rushing towards them. They screamed, "Protect the Buddha!" Defend the Buddha! But this voice quickly disappeared into a ghost crying wolf howl, and the Maitreya disciples who had already exploded the pot had only one thought in their hearts - escape from this ghost place and hide as far away as possible! I can't hear anything else. Even if someone heard it and wanted to protect His Royal Highness the Buddha, they were blocked by the flow of people who were scattered and fled, and they couldn't make it.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, the golden middle-aged man shouted, "Run." Then he took the lead and ran to the lake, and the strange-robed guests also followed behind in a small sedan chair.

The cavalry broke through the flow of people and saw the sedan chair heading towards the muddy lake. They didn't chase after it, but fell behind unhurriedly, like a pack of wolves hunting to drive the flock.

The golden robe ran away with the strange robes for a while, and when he saw that the lake had arrived, his heart couldn't help but be relieved. They hid a few small boats in the reeds, and once they got on the boats, they were able to escape in the night.

Suddenly, a barrage of crossbow arrows shot out of the reeds, knocking down seven or eight strange robes, halting their progress at once. The golden robe lying on the ground didn't know that he had been ambushed. Looking back at the black-clothed cavalry who had already approached, he howled dryly: "I surrender, I surrender!" ”

Seeing that the golden robes had surrendered, those monster robes were also busy kneeling on the ground and shouting for mercy. The fear of death was in stark contrast to the previous parishioners who were not afraid of death.

The leader of the cavalry looked at the dozens of miscellaneous pieces lying on the ground with disdain, like a leper dog with a broken backbone, and hissed: "Get up and line up, put your hands behind your heads, and come over one by one to be bound." ”

The strange-robed guests obediently got up and did so, and walked to the cavalry formation one by one to be bound. A quarter of an hour later, only the lone sedan chair was left on the entire tidal flat.

Eight men armed with crossbows and wearing sharkskin water leaned out of the reeds, and the first one was Shen Bing. Those strange robes saw that there were only a few people in the reeds, and if their hearts rushed hard, they rushed over, and they couldn't help but feel extremely frustrated. It wasn't until I saw more crossbow archers emerge from the reeds that my heart felt better.

Shen Bing took a spear, opened the curtain of the green sedan chair, and looked inside. His face turned pale, and he stabbed the spear into the thing inside, and then turned to leave.

The subordinates around heard the rumbling sound inside, and they were extremely curious, and when Shen Bing walked away, they rushed up to see what was going on. I saw a broken clay puppet sitting in a sedan chair, with a big hole in his face, as if he was grinning, silently laughing at everyone outside the sedan chair.

Shen Bing walked under the horse of the cavalry leader and whispered a few words. The cavalry captain nodded, and ordered his men to lead a war horse for him. Shen Bing turned on his horse and ran north. As soon as the cavalry captain whistled, more than 100 horsemen followed Shen Bing.

Not long after Shen Bing left, the cavalry captain ordered his subordinates to send out a firework that was also green.

Seeing the fireworks, Qin Lei on the black boat knew that the operation ended smoothly, but he didn't catch the supreme monk, he sighed, turned around and went back to the cabin. Now I can only hope that Cheng Siyuan, who went to Fancheng, can bring back something useful.

Shi Dang saw that Qin Lei's mood was not high, and said softly: "It's already ugly, the prince should rest." ”

Qin Lei shook the wine jar on the table and heard a commotion. So he poured the wine into the cup, and poured a cup to the full. Pinching the wine cup and taking a sip, Qin Lei said faintly: "The Maitreya Sect has reached the point where it has to be reversed. If its leader is not captured soon, the South will be shattered. Everything we do is meaningless. ”

Shi Dang said softly, "Are we going to do it before it starts?" ”

Qin Lei chuckled self-deprecatingly and said: "While scratching the head, we also have to let the little minions make a lot of trouble, so that the southern people and gentry don't feel the pain, how can they be obedient." ”

Shi Dare heard the murderous meaning in the prince's words, and opened his mouth a little unbearably, but he still didn't speak after all.

Qin Lei continued to sip the cold wine in the cup, as if it was the elixir and jade liquid. He said softly: "This time the Maitreya Sect is spreading, in fact, it is not to blame others. If it weren't for the imperial court and the gentry and wealthy tycoons who squeezed the people too much, they wouldn't have given the demons the soil to make trouble. ”

Shi Dang heard this statement for the first time, and said strangely: "Could it be that the official gentry caused today's situation?" ”

Qin Lei bowed his head and said, "Yes, they must pay for their actions, and the people's resentment must also be released." Putting down the wine glass, Qin Lei hesitated and said, "If you get it done this time, the south will be ours." Then he smiled and said, "If you can't get it right......"

Shi Dang accosted: "What will happen then? ”

Qin Lei got up and laughed: "The south is in chaos!" As he spoke, he walked to the bed and lay down, closed his eyes and muttered, "Then Lao Tzu is miserable......" and fell asleep.

By the time Shi dared to wake him up, the ship had docked. Qin Lei rubbed his eyes, stretched his muscles, and followed Shi Dang out of the cabin, this time he found that it was already faintly bright outside. Qin Lei smiled at Shen Qing, Xu Tian, Cheng Siyuan and others on the shore and said, "You have worked hard. ”

Several people bowed down and saluted: "The prince is hard. ”

Qin Lei stepped on the wooden plank and went down to the ground, and said with a smile: "It's still comfortable on the ground." Swinging on the water, I can't sleep well. ”

Shen Bing knew that the prince was vaguely expressing his dissatisfaction, so he knelt down and said, "Let the prince down, please punish the prince." Qin Lei smiled noncommittally: "Get up and talk about the harvest." ”

A few people got up and were just about to speak. Qin Lei interrupted, "What about Lord Zhu? Why didn't you see it? ”

Xu Tian, who was in charge of rescuing people, was a little embarrassed and said: "Lord Zhu was trampled on by the chaotic people, and he suffered more than a dozen fractures all over his body, and he is still unconscious. I've been sent to the city to see a doctor. He didn't say that he was not light or heavy, and he stunned Zhu Gui alive.

Qin Lei thought for a moment and ordered, "Treat Lord Zhu at all costs." Then he said to Cheng Simin: "You sort out the whole thing well, especially highlight the two clips of saving people, so that everyone knows that our palace will not give up on everyone." You have three days to write it and submit it. ”

Cheng Simin was a little confused to give the order, and then heard Qin Lei ask, "What are you gaining in Fancheng?" ”

Cheng Simin hurriedly replied: "A large amount of money was seized from their lair, about more than 80,000 taels. There were also many voters, many of whom were local gentry officials. There was also a corpse that had just died, and Lord Shen said he knew. ”

Qin Lei cast his gaze on Shen Bing, and Shen Bing nodded and said, "It's the apprentice of the supreme good monk, Yuanjue." Then he said a little strangely: "This monk Yuanjue is ragged and covered with bruises, and it seems that he was severely tortured before he died. ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Zhishan still has a hobby of abusing apprentices? ”

Shen Bing shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have some doubts about our previous judgment. ”

Qin Lei knew that Shen Bing was thoughtful and easily did not express his opinions. When he says this, it often means that something is really wrong. He nodded and waited for Shen Bing's next words.

Shen Bing said in a deep voice: "My subordinates interrogated a group of disciples who were captured. Among them is a golden robe, which is one of the four protectors, and he said that this Maitreya Sect was built by some 'Buddha girl', and this Prince Longhua has only recently appeared. Although it was mysterious every time, no one had ever seen his face, but there was no doubt that he was a young man. Moreover, there is always an old man in brown by his side to guard him. ”

Qin Lei immediately thought of the old man on the Yudai River, and said in a lost voice: "Gongliangyu? ”

Shen Bing nodded and said, "It's very likely." ”

"Bring that Dharma protector here, and I have to ask for it myself."

In a moment, the golden-robed protector who had been beaten into a pig's head was dragged in front of Qin Lei. This guy was already scared, and when he saw Qin Lei, he kowtowed like garlic, and said, "Don't fight anymore, I'll say ......"

Qin Lei was not noisy, and asked, "Where are you 'Buddha girls'?" ”

The Dharma Protector shook his head and said, "The Buddha said that the merits of the Buddha girl have returned to Bliss and happiness. ”

Qin Lei smiled: "That is to be killed by your Prince Longhua?" ”

The Dharma Protector seemed to know a lot of inside information, and whispered: "Anyway, I haven't seen a Buddha girl since the twenty-second of last month." ”

Qin Lei's heart moved, and he asked, "What do you Buddha girls look like?" ”

The Dharma Protector said with a look of obsession: "Although she has been masked, she must be the most beautiful woman in time." And our Buddha women are kind-hearted, kind and charitable, I don't know how many poor families have been saved, and I don't know how many people have been worshiped as Guanyin Niangniang. If it weren't for her, our Maitreya Sect would not have developed so rapidly. ”

Qin Lei asked again: "Do you know the supreme monk?" ”

The Dharma Protector nodded and said, "I know, that old monk has a good relationship with our Buddha girl, but after the Buddha came in the past two months, he somehow turned his face." The villain can't say the specific situation, the Buddha only asks us to do things, and doesn't let us ask anything else. ”

After a few more interrogations, Qin Lei lost interest, and when he saw Bo Xian Saiyang coming from a distance, he waved his hand and asked the guards to take him down.

Bo Xiang Saiyang saluted Qin Lei with a straight face: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have come to pay attention. ”

Qin Lei asked strangely, "Why are you so angry?" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang said hatefully: "Chu Luo lost the design of the pulp steamer. ”

Qin Lei couldn't laugh anymore, and said in a lost voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang told the news he got when he went to the Xiangyang Lake military camp to report the situation.

Qin Lei listened to it and said with a wry smile: "It must be a thief, quickly repair the book and the marshal, and let him send someone to investigate this matter." "This is an internal matter of the Zhennan Army, and it is not easy for him to interfere. Besides, he doesn't have any nosy mood, and tomorrow will be the eighth day of the new year.

Qin Lei and his entourage hurried up, only took a breath in the middle, and finally rushed back to Jingzhou City in the early morning of the eighth day of the new year.

But in front of the gate of Qingcui Villa, he met Zhuo Wenzheng who came in a hurry. Zhuo Wenzheng told him that the Maitreya disciples in the Fancheng area of Xiangyang had an incident.

Qin Lei said strangely as he walked inside: "Why is it so fast?" ”

Zhuo Wenzheng explained: "According to the report of the two governments, they cooperated with the Xiangyang Lake Water Division to search for the rioters who attacked the water village, and arrested more people, which caused panic. There was a prince named Longhua, who led people to kill the officials who came to search for him, gathered tens of thousands of people, and took advantage of the situation to capture several county seats. ”

After entering the house and sitting down, Qin Lei also asked Zhuo Wenzheng to sit down, and then asked, "Have you reported it?" ”

Zhuo Wenzheng said respectfully: "I don't know what the prince means, how dare my subordinates be good at it?" ”

Qin Lei nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Let's just say that the Maitreya Sect has been planning for a long time, attacking the major state capitals, the situation is precarious, if you wait for the imperial court to reply, I am afraid it will not be able to be cleaned up." Therefore, I can only start acting at the same time as I read the book. Details will be reported later. ”
