Chapter 117: Arrangement
Tang Xiaoqi didn't look down, she concentrated on grabbing the gap and slowly climbed up, and finally climbed the cliff, to the green grass above, the two of them lay on the grass on their backs, they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and they really came back from the ghost gate.
Yi Xingchen was just about to speak, but Tang Xiaoqi suddenly waved his hand at him and signaled not to speak.
Yi Xingchen saw that her expression was heavy and seemed to be listening to something, so he immediately listened attentively, and heard a faint noisy voice coming from in the distance. Judging from the general direction, it should be the direction of the Taoist temple.
The two glanced at each other, and Tang Xiaoqi said, "You wait for me here, I'll take a look." ā
Yi Xingchen said: "It's okay, let's go together and take care of each other." ā
Yi Xingchen had roughly guessed what this voice was about, but he wasn't sure, so he didn't say it.
Tang Xiaoqi nodded, reached out and picked up a stone as a weapon, and walked forward with his waist bent. Her only hidden weapon before, the steel needle, had been used, and there was no more, only stone as a hidden weapon.
Yi Xingchen followed her, slowly touched the small forest outside the Taoist temple, looked at it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many officers and soldiers near the Taoist temple, and they were ironclad cavalry, and the voice was made by them.
Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "These rabbit cubs are only here at this time." ā
Tang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment: "They were recruited by you?" ā9ļ¼wā ww.
Yi Xingchen smiled and nodded.
It turned out that Yi Xingchen was worried that something would happen, so he left a letter to Gao Zhupole and Dwarf Winter Melon, telling them that he had something to do, but he was afraid that he would not be able to come back in time. So if you don't rush back the next morning, open the letter. Do as the letter says.
As a result, in the morning, the high bamboo pole and the dwarf winter melon saw that Yi Xingchen did not go back, so they opened the letter. A letter and a note were found in the envelope. The note said that Ai Donggua and Gao Zhugan immediately sent the letter inside to Mr. Zhang of the Wei Command Post. At the same time, he led the ten Jinyi guards to rush to Yunshan Pass, waiting for his next order.
The two sent the letter to the Wei command post and handed it to Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang read the letter, and his heart suddenly beat faster, and the content of the letter read: "After seeing the letter, immediately take all the soldiers and horses to the Yunshan Temple in the western suburbs of Xicheng, there will be important discoveries, absolutely do not ask the sender the source of the letter, do not tell anyone, otherwise." This is the last letter to you. ā
What made Zhang Zong's heart beat faster was the inscription at the back: "Xuantianguan black-clothed man." ā
This payment is too tempting for Zhang Jiang, and it is precisely because of this payment that he led his troops to capture dozens of members of the White Lotus Sect, rescued the magistrate of Qingyang County, and made a great military achievement. After tasting this sweetness, as soon as he saw that the letter was written by the man in black, of course he would not refuse.
He originally wanted to ask Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua about the source of this letter, but. The letter had made it clear not to ask, otherwise, this would be the last letter, which meant that the black man would never tell him about it in the future, so that he could make meritorious service.
So he swallowed the words that came to his lips at once. This man in black is his own lucky star, but he must not go against his wishes, otherwise he will not have a chance in the future.
Although he muttered in his heart. How could the letter be delivered by two brocade guards, but. This man in black is mysterious and unpredictable, and he is neither friend nor foe with the officers and soldiers. It's hard to fathom.
He didn't ask any more, took two taels of silver and thanked Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua, respectfully sent the two away, and then immediately ordered to lead the troops to Yunshan Temple.
And before that, the hundred Maitreya sect members that Yi Xingchen borrowed from Li Xuehao were already lying in ambush around. Because he was afraid of affecting Yi Xingchen's plan, he didn't dare to get too close, just waiting for him to send a signal, but Yi Xingchen never did.
When it was dark and it was raining lightly, the people who were ambushed in the back mountain found that Yi Xingchen was holding a woman and a Taoist in the Taoist temple into the Dengxian Cave in the back mountain. After a while, the Taoist came out, but he didn't see Yi Xingchen and the woman come out.
As a result, the leader of the White Lotus Sect who was in ambush felt that something was wrong, so he quietly slipped into the Dengxian Cave to check, but there was no one inside, and he couldn't find any mechanism.
The leader felt that something was wrong, and immediately reported to the black-faced man in the lead, and after discussing with several other leaders, the black-faced man felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately launched an attack, grabbing the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple and asking about Yi Xingchen's whereabouts.
As a result, under the leadership of the five leaders, these hundred sect members entered the Yunshan Temple from all directions.
In addition to the three people in Yunshan Guanli, who presided over Kong Quanzi, his junior disciple Kong Xuanzi and the monk Kong Ming, the rest of the martial arts are average or not at all, where are the opponents of this hundred elites. Kong Xuanzi and the three of them worked together to forcibly break out of the encirclement and flee in the wilderness, while the other Yunshan Taoist priests were captured.
The black-faced man immediately forced the Taoist priests of the Taoist Temple to confess, but none of them knew the secret of the Yunshan Temple. The only people who know the secret of the Dengxian Cave in the back mountain of Yunshan Guanhou Mountain are Kong Quanzi and his junior brother Kong Xuanzi, the monk Kong Ming, and the personal attendant of the Taoist chief, and the little Taoist priest who was killed.
The black-faced man lit a torch and searched the entire cave for mechanisms, but found nothing. I don't know where Yi Xingchen has gone. When the Taoist priests of Yunshan Temple heard that the person they were looking for had entered the Dengxian Cave, they all insisted that the people who went in must have ascended to the Immortal Cave, and they couldn't find it.
So the black-faced man ordered to search the entire Taoist temple again, and found a lot of gold and silver treasures, but there was no secret way, and there was no trace of Yi Xingchen, and he tossed until dawn.
The black-faced man was very frustrated, and he had nothing to do, not knowing whether to withdraw and report to Li Xuehao or continue the search, when the spies under the mountain suddenly ran out of breath to report, saying that the officers and soldiers of the brigade were coming, and the direction was Yunshanguan.
The black-faced man had no choice but to order everyone to withdraw from Yunshan Temple immediately. And those caught Taoist priests were left in the Taoist temple and handed over to the official army.
When the officers and soldiers of the brigade came in, all they saw were Taoist priests tied up on the ground, and some of them were obviously tortured.
After interrogating these people separately, it was learned that just before, the members of the White Lotus Sect in the brigade had entered the Guanzhong, and when they heard that the officials and troops were coming, they all fled.
Zhang was always disappointed, but the White Lotus Sect appeared, but he was a step late and was run away by them, but it's a pity.
When he was about to order the withdrawal of troops, Yi Xingchen and Tang Xiaoqi finally climbed the cliff, came to the outside of the Taoist temple, and saw the officers and soldiers begin to retreat. Yi Xingchen immediately stood up from the grass and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, wait, I'm Jinyiwei, may I ask who of you is the leader?" I have important matters to discuss with him. ā
Yi Xingchen held the brocade clothes waist card in his hand, shirtless, and thin, and walked out of the grass. Those officers and soldiers were taken aback and didn't believe it, but when they came up and looked carefully at the waist card in Yi Xingchen's hand, it was indeed Jinyiwei's. They also all know that in addition to the strong and strong, there are people from all walks of life, mainly to inquire about intelligence, so they are not surprised, these officers and soldiers saw Jinyiwei, naturally accompanied by a smile respectfully, and quickly replied that the leader Zhang was in the front yard.
Yi Xingchen said to the two thinner officers and soldiers again, borrow their clothes, and the soldier quickly took off his clothes and handed them to Yi Xingchen.
Yi Xingchen threw one of them into the grass, Tang Xiaoqi caught it and put it on his body, and then walked out of the grass. Those officers and soldiers thought it was very strange when they saw a little girl hiding in the grass, but no one dared to ask about Jinyiwei's mysterious behavior.
Yi Xingchen also got dressed, took Tang Xiaoqi, and under the leadership of the soldiers, went to the courtyard in front of the Taoist temple and met Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang was already familiar with Yi Xingchen, and he had just received a report from the soldier who came over to tell him first, saying that a brocade guard was looking for him and was busy saying please. After meeting, I realized that it was an acquaintance Yi Xingchen.
Mr. Zhang Ma hurriedly turned over and dismounted, smiled and came over to clench his fists and said, "It turns out that Brother Yi is here, I don't know what is the matter with him?" ā
Yi Xingchen looked left and right, leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: "I got the news, this Yunshan Temple is actually a black den of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect to kill money, they used the pretext of ascending to immortals, lured hundreds of ordinary people to the cave, and threw them into the corpse cave below, I just explored the cave and found that it was full of corpses. You send someone down the cliff with a rope, and then you go in through a hidden hole below, and then you go down to the bottom of the cave by a chain hanging from the vertical cave in the cave, and you can see these piles of corpses, many of which have become ribs, maybe hundreds. Twenty or thirty of them are those old people who just ascended to the immortal two days ago, and if you can ask their family members to come and identify them, you can know that the so-called ascending immortal is all a trick to deceive people, and they killed everyone and threw them into the cave.
Zhang Jiang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his heart was immediately ecstatic, if he could solve this case, it would be a miracle. Of course, the first credit is naturally the Jinyiwei, but he will also have some credit, at least for assisting in the detection of the case.
So General Zhang hurriedly ordered to take the officers and soldiers to follow Yi Xingchen and they came to the edge of the cliff. Under the guidance of Yi Xingchen, he found a rope from the Taoist temple and tied it to the tree, and sent more than a dozen officers and soldiers with good skills to light torches, go down the rope, and enter the cave.
After waiting for a while, the dozen or so officers and soldiers finally returned, and one by one they were so shocked that they stammered and reported to General Manager Zhang, saying that there were piles of corpses like a hill in the cave inside, and twenty or thirty of them had not yet decomposed.
Because it involved a major case of human life, which was no longer within the jurisdiction of the army, General Zhang ordered people to rush back to the city urgently to notify the prefect and the prefect. At the same time, General Zhang ordered people to go to the four villages to find the families of the so-called Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciples who had ascended to the Immortals to claim the bodies.
Hundreds of victims' bodies were found in the cave, which was a shocking case, so Liu Zhifu of Tunzhou Prefecture and Zhu Zhixian of the county to which they belonged immediately rushed to Yunshanguan on horseback with three classes of officials
