Chapter 56: The City Gate is on Fire
I didn't ask the clichΓ© of 'may I ask the girl's name', and I didn't even leave my own name. It's just like the domineering president who turned around and left after dealing with a trivial matter in his own store. Dongfang Bai will definitely remember himself.
The reason is simple, a few more hours. The five or six thousand horses will attack the Wang family and sack Dali City at the same time. Although a Dali royal family is known as 'Wang Bancheng', in this era, Dali's merchants cannot be compared with Jin merchants, and there is not much silver in their homes. How can the wealth of a royal family be enough for five or six thousand people? The ransacking of the merchants in Dali City is absolutely inevitable.
This day is definitely the most memorable day in Dongfang Bai's life. What happened in this day, the people I met. It will definitely be in her memory all the time. Whether it is the pain of the destruction of the family, or the self-blame for losing the young sister when the war is in chaos. In the next few years, Dongfang Bai will definitely think about what is happening today.
And Chen Tianqi, who has a gentle smile on his face, will definitely appear in the other party's memory from time to time.
At this time, after leaving the 'Easy Restaurant'. Chen Tianqi and his entourage rushed towards the old site of Tianlong Temple. The Duan dynasty of Dali, at the time of the Song and Liao wars. Relying on the dangerous terrain, the solid city wall is in a safe corner. It's a pity that in the end, whether it was the Great Song Dynasty, which had millions of troops, or the Great Liao, which had the sixteen states of Yanyun and could fight well, they were all defeated in the hands of Genghis Khan in the end. The Duan dynasty of Dali in a corner of peace, the solid city wall. In the end, it was impossible to resist the iron hooves of Kublai Khan's Yuan army.
According to the consistent style of the Yuan army, the more fierce the resistance. After the city is broken, it will be paid back tenfold. When Duan Yu, Yideng and other masters of the Duan royal family passed away, the Dali royal family, which had not been at war for many years, except for some children in the side line who had avoided a catastrophe in the Tianlong Temple, the rest of the royal family went nine out of ten.
For hundreds of years, in the Duan Dynasty of Dali, which believed in Buddhism throughout the country, Tianlong Temple had a special status. This can be seen from the fact that in the heavenly world of "Tianlong Babu", Emperor Duan Zhengming of Dali has to take care of the master Kurong in Tianlong Temple and call him uncle.
Chen Tianqi and his entourage followed the path and galloped to a dense forest.
When the three of them, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Chen Tianqi, who was wearing vermilion purple, they hurriedly walked out of the dense forest, knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, "I've seen the Lord.."
Chen Tianqi, who turned over and dismounted, looked at the three black-clothed men in front of him with resolute faces and strong figures, and nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you three for your hard work, Earth Hell... What's going on inside Tenryuji Temple? β
"Return to the Lord. . . According to the information provided by Tianqiao and after our verification, there are a total of 372 monks in Tianlong Temple. Sixty warrior monks. The highest martial arts is the abbot of Tianlong Temple, and his cultivation has reached the second-rate martial arts. The rest are not to be feared.." The Earth Evil Star replied respectfully.
"Is there only one second-rate martial artist? It seems that it should not be difficult to attack Tianlong Temple.." Chen Tianqi muttered to himself.
After all, Wang Fu himself is a second-rate martial artist, and he is also a second-rate martial artist who has been stuck in the second-rate realm for more than ten years. Compared with the three Qi and eight veins in the body, although there is only a line of separation. But it blocked countless people. If you want to advance to the first-class realm, talent, resources, roots, and even exercises. It can be said that they are indispensable. This is why among the rivers and lakes, the only people who can be called first-class martial artists are those who are famous and upright. And first-class martial artists and second-rate martial artists, in addition to the difference in the strength of the true qi in the body. The most obvious division is that second-rate martial artists cannot release their true qi.
This time, in order to take advantage of the fire to rob Tianlong Temple to find the possible existence of the "One Yang Finger" mental method, Chen Tianqi ordered the three of Earth Evil Star, Earth Yong Star, and Earth Kui Star to lead all the members of their respective commands to come. And with firearms and crossbows, with these hundreds of firearms and crossbows, it is definitely not a problem to deal with a second-rate martial artist who can't release his true qi.
When Chen Tianqi and his party sneaked into the dense forest, waiting for the group of ringing horses outside the city to attack Dali City, they were ready to take the opportunity to make a move. Dongfang Bai, who didn't know that the calamity was coming, carried the pot of ten catties and walked towards home.
Along the way, Dongfang Qian, who had nothing to do, was still chattering non-stop.
"Sister.. Sister.. Who was that big brother just now? β
"That big brother is so powerful.. He said to let the shopkeeper give us ten catties of wine from the beginning. The shopkeeper is all over again."
"Sister.. Do you know that big brother?"
Fifteen or sixteen years old cardamom years, try to ask that girl at this time is not pregnant with spring? The altar in his hand is ten catties and third-class 'free drunk', but it is worth three taels of silver. His father, Dongfang Hao. Although he sells medicinal herbs, he has a good life. But he is not willing to buy ten catties of 'free drunk' at a time. Since the other party is the owner of 'Xiaoyao Restaurant', his identity must be either rich or expensive. The other party didn't even ask his name. Thinking that in the eyes of the other party, she is just an ordinary woman. Dongfang Bai, who looked helpless, said patiently: "Sister, I don't know that son... By the way, don't tell your parents about today when you go home. β
Dongfang Qian, who looked ignorant, bit her finger and whispered, "That.. Sister, later my father will see that you are calling back ten catties of wine.. That.."
"This is easy to do, let's find a bottle later. Fill it with a pound and it's done, and the rest is hidden in my room.. I'll take it out for Daddy tomorrow.." Dongfang Bai said with a sly smile.
"Huh? My mother said that deceiving people is not a good child.." Dongfang Qian said tangledly.
"Silly sister.. Didn't you always want the sugar man on East Street? Tomorrow, when Daddy asks us to drink again, my sister will use the money to buy you candy, okay? Dongfang Bai smiled.
Under the temptation of the sugar man, Dongfang Qian quickly forgot her mother's past teachings.
The minutes ticked by, and it was approaching the afternoon. Three or four hundred sturdy men dressed in different clothes, driving ox carts and carriages carrying burdens, came to the south gate of Dali City.
When this group of merchants who seemed to be traveling from south to north blocked the south gate of Dali City and were about to enter, a noisy sound came from the long line.
"Phew! Okay, you black-faced man.. How do you catch the carriage? Knocked over my goods. You're going to pay me!! β
"Blind your dog's eyes, it's obvious that you yourself are not tied firmly! The goods fell on their own. My horses haven't even hit you!! Is it really good to bully? β
"Oops! Do you still dare to play tricks with you? I don't inquire either.. Who in these ten miles and eight towns doesn't know the name of my tiger master? If you dare not lose money today? Be careful that the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out!! β
The quarrel between the two teams of foot merchants naturally attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers guarding the south gate of Dali City. Even the horse team in front of the queue was ready to pass, and many people deliberately stopped to watch the excitement.
Seeing that the quarrel between the two groups of merchants was getting more and more intense, an officer who looked like a general defending the city led seven or eight soldiers towards this side.
The officer who pressed the knife on his waist with one hand shouted: "Shut up, Lao Tzu!" Believe it or not, this military master will not let you enter the city today? β
The man who called himself the Tiger Master was still arguing just now, and when he saw the generals guarding the city entering, he hurriedly put on a smiling face, "This military master, you are here to judge!" This blind abrupt man knocked over the villain's cargo. The villain's goods are all porcelain... He still won't lose money.." As he spoke, he touched his arms with one hand.
When the general guarding the city, who originally had a straight face, saw this action, he immediately thought that the man in front of him was preparing to pay for his own filial piety. Just as he was about to take a few steps forward by accepting some broken silver, as in the past, the man who called himself the Tiger Master suddenly turned pale. He pulled out a sharp dagger with a length of one inch from his bosom.
Before the general guarding the city could react, the tiger master who was close at hand had already stabbed the dagger in his hand into the opponent's neck.
"Hands-on !!" The tiger master who succeeded in one knife roared loudly.
The general defending the city, whose carotid artery and throat were pierced, had an incredible look on his face, and hurriedly covered the wound on his neck with both hands. But the carotid artery has been cut, and the blood gushing out can be blocked with your hands? When this hapless general fell headlong. The hundreds of men who seemed to be traders from the south to the north blocked the south gate pulled out their hidden blades from under the carriage and the burdens they carried. Before a single cup of tea arrived, the forty or fifty soldiers stationed at the southern gate were all cut down to the ground.
