Chapter 1127: Acting in a Play (I)
Night, Shucheng.
Due to the curfew, as soon as it was dark, the people in the city returned to their homes early to rest. The town's inns were also unusable, and the streets were empty, and the town would look like a ghost town if it weren't for the candles on both sides of the street.
When the moon rose on the branches, I saw a team of people and horses approaching Shucheng rapidly from the official road outside the city. The dense sound of horses' hooves is like raindrops, and it is like the beat of war drums before the start of the war, which is breathtaking. The soldiers standing on the city wall heard this sound and couldn't help but widen their eyes and look into the distance, and in the moonlight, a flag fluttered in the wind, with a Li character written on it, like an evil dragon with teeth and claws.
When this group of people and horses got closer, they saw the young general riding on the horse at the front wearing black armor, with a cold face and an extraordinary and majestic momentum. The guards of Shucheng immediately saw him, their spirits perked up, and they said loudly: "The young lord is here, open the city gate!" ”
The confined city gate slowly opened, and Li Jiancheng, who was rushing to the front on a horse, did not stop at all, but instead clamped the horse under his legs fiercely, and increased his speed by a few points. I saw a man and a horse rushing into the city through the crack in the opening of the city gate, like a meteor passing by the side of the soldiers who opened the door behind the city gate, and then slowly stopped.
The guard on the city wall walked down the city wall quickly in three steps and two steps, came to Li Jiancheng's horse, bent down and hugged his fists respectfully: "The last general is Rong, meet the young lord." ”
Li Jiancheng glanced at him condescendingly, but did not speak, his expression was still cold, as if he had not heard Yu Rong's words. Behind him, the city gate opened widely, and Li Valve slowly walked in and stood behind him.
These horses were the most elite soldiers in Li Zhu's army, and Li Jiancheng even incorporated the generals he had raised over the years, and as they entered the city and stood still, a breath of iron and blood came to their faces.
Compared with these soldiers in Shucheng, these talents brought by Li Jiancheng look like real soldiers!
Yu Rong was also frightened to the point that his face turned slightly pale, he had the courage to roll his eyes up and secretly glanced at Li Jiancheng, his heart was excited, and he half-knelt down and said respectfully: "Mo Jiangrong, meet the young lord." ”
Li Jiancheng still didn't speak, but pulled the reins and drove the horse forward. Li Valve's elites followed closely behind him, and after everyone entered the city, Li Jiancheng's voice rang in Yu Rong's ears.
"Get up."
Yu Rong stood up tremblingly, sweating behind his back.
Li Jiancheng took the elites of Li Valve all the way forward and came to a large mansion prepared in advance, and after giving the order to settle down, he pulled Yang Sheng, who was traveling with him, and immediately came to a room.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to ask Yang Sheng, "Sir, are you sure that there is indeed a Yin Sect rudder in Shucheng?" Why did I just test that Yu Rong, he reacted no different from ordinary guards when they saw me. ”
Yang Sheng said softly: "Judging from the final result, there should be nothing wrong here, but for various reasons, maybe it's not in the city." Young lord, I think it's better for us to find out first. ”
"Sir, this is reasonable."
Li Jiancheng nodded, and immediately summoned a general to let him order, and start searching the whole city early tomorrow morning, and be sure to find the location of the rudder of the Yin Sect.
The days passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Li Jiancheng had been in Shucheng for seven days, and they had searched every corner of Shucheng in the past seven days, but they still didn't find even the slightest clue.
Just when Li Jiancheng was disheartened, a family general suddenly brought back something unusual news.
Li Jiancheng frowned, stared at the general standing in front of him and asked in a low voice, "You mean to say that most of the monks in the temples outside the city know martial arts?" ”
"Yes. Today, while patrolling the streets, I came across a monk who had come into the city to buy groceries. At that time, a basin of water happened to be poured down from the second floor, but the monk's figure shook and dodged. I saw that he was not weak and did not look like a Buddhist way, so I followed him with suspicions. ”
"After leaving the city, I followed him to the temple on the hill outside the city, and after observing the temple for a day, I realized that it was not just the monk who bought vegetables. Everyone in the temple knew kung fu to a greater or lesser extent, and none of them were the kind of crude juggling. ”
Li Jiancheng couldn't help frowning deeply when he heard this, if it was not surprising that all the monks in Shaolin Temple knew martial arts, but it would be too strange that everyone in an unknown temple like this knew martial arts.
"Where is the temple?"
"It's on a hill outside the city."
"Take me there."
Under the leadership of the general, Li Jiancheng left Shucheng and quietly went out of the city and went straight to the temple outside the city that the general said. When the two came to the outside of the temple, it was already late at night, but there were still candles lit in the temple, which made Li Jiancheng frown again.
An instinctive feeling arose in his heart - something was wrong with this temple!
Glancing at the two young monks guarding in front of the temple, Li Jiancheng's eyes turned to his heart, and he said to the general beside him: "You pretend to be drunk and try their way." ”
The general nodded in response, untied the wine gourd on his waist and poured some wine on his body, and then used his internal strength to make his face flushed, stood up, swayed his body, and staggered towards the temple.
"Lady, I'm back~~"
When he was about to walk to the temple, the general shouted, and his drunken eyes looked like a drunk. The two young monks in front of the temple saw him and frowned at the same time.
The monk on the left scolded: "It's so late, where is the drunk?" Damn, that's a bad thing. ”
Hearing his words, Li Jiancheng immediately concluded in his heart that this was definitely a fake temple, and these monks must also be fake monks. The monks of Buddhism in the Central Plains are the most clear and precepts, how can they be so full of swearing!
The monk on the right said softly: "I guess it's someone from a nearby village, just drive him down the mountain." Recently, we are in a special period, so don't cause more trouble. ”
The monk on the left nodded, strode towards the general, and grabbed his shoulder with one hand. The general shook his body, suddenly dodged this palm, looked at the monk's eyes and said, "Who are you, why are you in my house, lady!" Wife! ”
"What are you yelling about!"
The monk scolded in a low voice, and slapped a palm on the general's chest, only to see that the palm wind was extremely cold, as if a gust of wind was blowing from the ground, which made the general shiver.
"Yin Wind Palm of the Yin Sect!"
Li Jiancheng immediately recognized the monk's first palm technique, and his eyes burst out with a light of surprise, this person is using the martial arts of the Yin Sect, and he must be a person of the Yin Sect!
In this way, it is very likely that this temple is the rudder of the Yin Sect!
