Chapter 8: The Battle of Laizenji Temple

Bai Minghe led his group day and night to rush to Lianwu Mountain. The words of the elders before leaving are still in my ears.

"The two of us will go to Dadu first, and some things will be faced one by one sooner or later. This is more than Yicheng is now stable in all directions, the emperor will not let the king of Yan live here, there will be an edict to let him return to Beijing soon, you should not stay for a long time, tomorrow morning set off straight to the eagle mountain. In the future, if there is a situation, the message can be exchanged through the dock number vessel. ”

Tiangongshi handed over a jade pendant engraved with the word "earth" to Mu Xingji.

Even the Eagle Mountain is adjacent to the capital on the left, and the waterway is on the right, the traffic is easy, the deep mountains and simple forests, and the quiet in the middle of the noisy are the most suitable for them now.

The elders had already arranged for them to have a four-house bamboo courtyard, facing the mountains and lakes, and they had the style of living with a quiet person.

"We finally have a home."

Mo Xie Yunshu was very pleased.

Bai Minghe looked at them with a smile:

"Stay in peace and recharge."

"Thank you to the elder and uncle for making such meticulous arrangements."

Mu Xingji was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"There's not much I can do, and I'm going to go back to the Shadowless School and take care of some chores. He'er stayed to help you, and I arranged for Pingwei Wenxuan to be appointed to the business center and the council secretary to take up the post in order to make a decision, both of which are places for the flow of news between the DPRK and China, and you will get something out of your attention. The task of Star Scar is heavy, and I have to gather the old people of the Tianxia Sect, which is also your master's wish, even Eagle Mountain has Takiri, He'er, I am also relieved. ”

Bai Minghe is more than calm, meticulous as a hair, and meticulous in everything.

"Uncle Shi, we made a note of it."

Remember.

"Daddy, what about me?"

Bai Mingruoxu has formed a deep friendship with everyone, and he doesn't want to leave at this moment.

"You go back with me for the time being, and I will leave important matters to you to do."

Baek Myung-hyuk understood that she wanted to help, but did make other arrangements.

Bai Minghe took Bai Mingruo to say goodbye to everyone.

"Takili, the mountains and rivers are on the same road, the sun and the moon are affectionate, and we will not see each other in most places."

Bai Mingruo was reluctant.

"Ruoxu, how fortunate I am to have you protect me with my life, I have no regrets in this life! When you go back, you will take care of your injuries and cherish them a lot. ”

Mo Xie Takili stepped forward, and the two hugged each other tightly, inseparable from each other.

The Mo Xie brothers and sisters stayed in the Eagle Mountain, for those who have just lost their loved ones and have been displaced, settling down and being with their families is undoubtedly the most extravagant hope for happiness.

The future is uncertain, what will tomorrow be like, as long as the most important family members do not abandon each other and rely on each other, what are they afraid of.

The Merchant Hub of the Flood

When Mo Xie Pingwei arrived at the end of work, he hurried back, he was still a pillar of incense away from the bamboo courtyard.

"Big brother is back!"

Mo Xie Yunshu was looking forward to it at the door.

"Yun Ji, I brought you new materials, see if it's suitable."

Mo Xie Pingwei lifted his hands full of clothes.

"The second brother made something delicious today."

Mo Xie Yunshu smiled and followed closely.

Mo Xie Pingwei looked at her fondly:

"Little gluttonous cat! He came back before me. He laid down his clothes and went into the main hall, where the rest of the people were.

The four Mo Xie brothers and sisters stood solemnly with Jin He, and bowed to the two rankings in the hall reverently. The ranking is the name of Mo Yetian and Mrs. Yizhi, and this is also the only way for them to worship their parents from thousands of mountains and rivers.

After the worship ceremony, Mo Xie Wenxuan asked:

"Big brother, did it go well today?"

"Smooth, I was originally sent to the Shangshu T-shaped team to enter the house, and this morning a group of mixed people came to make trouble, and the team couldn't hold it down, so I just wanted to report to the top and call the people above to suppress it. As soon as I saw that the time had come, I came out to subdue such a bastard, and I saw that I could handle it, and the A-shaped team was lacking a Zoro, so he ordered me to be a Saro in the A-shaped team. ”

After Mo Xie Pingwei finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl.

"Can you report your name?"

Mo Xie Wenxuan asked.

"Dawn night in the east of the city, proper. Wen Xuan: How are you doing over there? ”

Mo Xie Pingwei asked.

"I also went to the Central Council, received a card uniform, took the position of Zhengji, and was named Xue Zhen."

Mo Xie Wenxuan nodded.

"It's not in vain that I spent more than a month exploring and adapting, and finally settled on this false name. The elder brother has been gone for more than ten days, and I don't know what the situation is now. ”

Mo Xie Pingwei calculated.

Jin He gave him a steady look:

"Senior Brother Mu wrote to say that he recently went to Fengyuan from Liaoyang, and the old departments in the vicinity are almost in contact."

Mo Xie Takili refilled the tea for them:

"Our inkstone bookstore also found out that the palace will go to Lin'an Laishan Temple in the middle of next month to worship the ancestors."

Yan Fei Yan is a calligraphy and painting boat hidden on the pier, and it is also a contact point.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to know his whereabouts."

Mo Xiewenxuan's eyes sparkled.

"Has the time finally come for Elder Chasing Light to make us wait?"

Mo Xie Pingwei was also eager to try.

"I went to the dock several times, but I didn't get in touch with the elders, and the ship never docked." Jin He was quite puzzled about this matter, "We have to think carefully about how to use this opportunity." ”

"If you can't wait for the opportunity, don't imitate the manufacturing opportunity."

Mo Xie Takiri looked at the three of them and suggested, and the other three stared at each other, their eyes shining.

In the bamboo courtyard, the Mo evil brothers and sisters sat around under the moonlit night.

Mo Xie Yunshu ran in the courtyard, chasing fireflies with a small screen, how long had it been since she had seen her smile so happily, this scene was enough to make people forget their worries.

"Big brother and second brother, am I reckless this time? If any of you are of royal blood......"

Mo Xie Takiri didn't dare to think about it.

"Are you wary that we will be dealing with our own relatives?" Mo Xie Wenxuan pondered for a moment, "He is so ruthless, arbitrarily mutilate his life, poison the people, and have no trace of the demeanor of a benevolent and righteous king, I will only hate him even more." As he spoke, his eyes fell silent, and Mo Xie Takili couldn't suppress his heartache after seeing it.

"If I were his relative, I would still do the right thing for heaven and sacrifice countless dead souls with his head, so I don't have to think about it."

Mo Xie is righteous and awe-inspiring, although these words come from the heart, they also make people feel infinitely sad.

"If we can have a blood feud this time, let's live in seclusion in the mountains."

Mo Xie's bright eyes cut the water, looking up at the sky.

"Okay, as long as we're a family, it's okay to go anywhere."

The Mo Evil brothers are also yearning for it.

Biyi City

Ao Piao stood on the stone bridge, looking at the river bank from afar.

I wish Ding Feiluo sword in hand, the sword runs through Changhong, and kills on all sides! After a complete set of "Qiu Xuan Sword", he rested calmly.

"Lord Wang, most of the people have told that the daughter of General Nardo is suffering from a strange illness and has delayed the marriage, and the emperor specially allows her to recuperate and then marry the prince."

Ao Piao handed over the handkerchief and returned the gift.

"Strange disease?"

Zhu Dingfei asked lightly.

"It is said that his face is covered with black bumps, and he can't see people." Ao Piao frowned slightly, "Tianxin does things as weirdly as he does. ”

"It's weird, he's measured. What about the other? ”

Zhu Dingfei wiped his sweat and walked back.

"As the prince expected, chasing the light made the elder let go of the Saijutsu."

Ao Piao's eyes were calm.

"Okay, let's leave for Dadu."

How does Ao Piao feel that I wish Dingfei a happy mood.

"However, Laishan Temple has already sent people to invite you back to Lin'an twice, why don't we go back and have a look?"

Ao Piao was surprised.

"Not going back."

Zhu Dingfei entered the front hall in a blink of an eye, and when he mentioned someone in Lin'an, he smiled.

Bong Won

Mu Xingji worked day and night, and lived up to his hard work. He successively contacted the old departments of the Tianxia faction scattered in Fengyuan in Liaoyang.

This trip knew that in order to ensure the safety of all the disciples, Mo Xie Tian had a far-sighted plan to rectify the Tianxia faction in order to preserve his strength.

Duan Xiaosheng, the Iron Casting King, is the master responsible for the placement of Tianxia disciples in Fengyuan City, and has been using the five iron shops as a base to collect and distribute disciples over the years. He estimated that he was fifty years old, gentle and dignified, and his spirit was bright, and he stepped forward with a long knife to return to Ming:

"Master, this operation is top secret, and the one hundred and twenty disciples I led have been hidden on the Qingshan Slope outside the city to stand by."

"Okay, Master Duan."

Mu Xingji nodded.

"Master, the seventy disciples of Liaoyang City will arrive at the meeting place in a few moments."

It was Qu Wentong of Liaoyang Chengdong Silk Village who spoke, seeing that he was about the same age as the master of the Duan Sect, with a round figure, but he competently carried a purple tassel flower gun, and the disciples he placed were all hidden in the silk village to engage in miscellaneous labor.

"Master Qumen, as soon as they arrive, they will be placed on the spot, and they must travel cautiously."

Mu Xingji explained.

"Order."

Qu Wentong stepped aside.

"My lord, eighty brothers on twenty boats at the Nanfeng Ferry are on standby."

This is the main force of the Nanfeng Ferry Gate who is responsible for water transportation all the year round, and he is nicknamed "Wave Treader", he is younger than the first two owners, with a tiger's back and a cautious gaze.

"Okay, everyone's worked hard! Today is our last day in Fengyuan, and we will rush to Lin'an on the night to meet the people and horses of the Lord Xue Men of Lin'an City. The thieves deceive people too much, the family and the country hate it, it's time to liquidate it clearly! ”

Mu Xingji is prestigious.

"Only the head of the house is the first to look forward! Family hatred and country hatred, shame before the snow! ”

The people were also indignant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this trip is dangerous, and I have ordered in advance that those who have young children and elderly parents at home, and those who have no brothers or sisters at home, do not need to go. Before leaving, I will count the number of people again, and everyone can withdraw from the operation without any worries, this operation is codenamed 'Operation Clearance', and it is up to you. ”

Mu Xingji clasped his fists and saluted, he stared at everyone seriously, in the dark night, his eyes were resolute and extremely resolute.

"Defend the faction to the death! Liver and brain smeared on the ground! Family hatred and national hatred! Shame on you! ”

The people in the hall shouted in unison, and the sound was inspiring.

Dadu Imperial Palace Zhaode Hall

Blessing Ding Flight Kneeling Ceremony:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"King Yan, you're finally back, I'm so worried about you."

The emperor in the main hall is in his early twenties, tall and thin, with majestic eyebrows.

"Greetings to the Emperor! All is well with my brother. ”

Zhu Dingfei was relieved to see the emperor in high spirits.

"Hurry up, you are working the border, I am worried day and night, and you are stronger."

The emperor hurriedly stepped forward, unable to hide the joy of the reunion.

"Brother Huang, seeing you healthy today, my brother can rest assured."

Zhu Dingfei has been trekking abroad for several years, and the only thing he remembers in the imperial city is the person in front of him.

"Sure enough, ten years of wind and frost have shaped the hero, my good brother! It's a pity that I have been weak since I was a child, and I remember that when I was a child, I was in the hunting paddock with you, riding horses and galloping, which was my most energetic and happiest day. ”

When the emperor mentioned the past, he was very emotional.

"The younger brother's biological mother died early, only the royal brother has always been careful and cared for, and the younger brother will always remember it! Now I only hope that the royal brother cherishes his body, the world is safe, and the people are safe. ”

Zhu Dingfei's black eyes were burning and his words were sincere.

"Good! You're the same as before. The emperor stared at Zhu Dingfei with smiling eyes, "Tell me what you have seen and felt over the years." ”

The two saw each other very happily, and it was not until dusk that Zhu Dingfei returned to the mansion of the king of Yan in a sedan chair.

Banquet King's Mansion Meditation Hall

In the corridor, Ao Piao and Zhu Dingfei walked side by side:

"Does the prince think that the emperor knows or does he not know about the last emperor's son?"

"The more secretive he is, the more he is afraid of knowing more about it, but when did he know about it, he has to endure it all these years, guess behind his back, and operate step by step, which can be described as painstaking."

Zhu Dingfei has been frowning deeply and speaking in a low tone.

"The prince was right before, Saishu didn't have this monstrous courage, and without the emperor's permission, he couldn't do that. It's just that you have to go back to Beijing to get involved, and the original free and quiet days are left behind. ”

has been with him for more than ten years, Ao Piao is the person who knows his heart best, if it weren't for the reason why he had to come back, he wouldn't want to step into the gate of Dadu again.

"It's about the royal brother and the court, how can I stay out of the matter and not be stained with half a cent of dust! What's more, let the people of Dawn be in dire straits, and there will be eggs under the nest. It's just that the emperor doesn't know how the monstrous curtain he opened this time will end. ”

Zhu Dingfei knows his brother's personality very well, he has been indecisive and resolute since he was a child, so what kind of worry and fear made him make that decision.

Ao Piao looked at him stupidly, feeling his loneliness and loneliness! Yes, such a wise, unruly, world-minded, righteous and fearless person is unique in loneliness and loneliness.

Eagle Hill continued to stare at them to prevent them from making a move. It seems that they will find out everything to the end, and there will be movement in the near future. ”

I wish Ding Fei to think about loneliness.

"It's a shame that the prince has taken care of them everywhere, and I hope they will be more restrained."

Ao Piao was slightly helpless.

"Take a bath, I'm really tired."

Zhu Dingfei said lightly.

Lin'an Laishan Temple

The mighty Imperial Forest Army spread all the way from Lin'an City, the banner of the Yuan Dynasty was waving in the wind, and the Lai Shan Temple was heavily guarded within a radius of ten miles, surrounded like an iron bucket.

In the east wing, the emperor asked questions.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army is guarded in four shifts, and it is closely guarded, and the King of Banquet is also living in the outer courtyard, please settle it."

Saishu looks confident.

"This time, we must take down this group of remnants and recapture the secret edict of the first emperor."

The emperor's words are bound to be won.

"The emperor can rest assured, since the traitors released the words a few days ago, the emperor's secret edict will appear in Laishan Temple today, then they will definitely come from the net."

Saishu silently observed the emperor's face.

"Arrange properly, don't be careless!"

The emperor looked vigilant and told again.

"Yes, the minister obeys."

Saishu slowly retreated, and he thought that if he could get rid of the Tianxia faction tonight, it would be regarded as exempting his henchmen from a serious trouble and giving things a complete conclusion.

Outer courtyard wings

"The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and your quiet Laishan Temple outside the world looks particularly restless tonight."

Zhu Dingfei stood in front of the window and said to his best friend.

The man sitting in front of the candlestick, with blue eyes and thin lips, smoky eyebrows, fair skin, and a handsome appearance, is not an exaggeration to say that he has a face that even women are jealous of. This person is the host of Laishan Temple, Du Hanyi. At a young age, he has already made a name for himself, and he is the presiding officer of the first temple in Kyoto, which must be extraordinary.

"It's not the Quartet and the Five Devils you recruited." His voice was soft, as clear and sweet as a spring.

"I actually recruited it? Then add fire to your cold temperament and let you burn it. ”

Zhu Dingfei returned to his seat, his eyebrows calm.

"I'm standing with you, second junior brother, who is it, it's colder?"

Du Han raised his eyes and chuckled, his eyebrows and eyes were like illusions.

It turned out that Du Hanyi and Zhu Dingfei were both teachers who came out of the Good Temple, and Du Hanyi was Zhu Dingfei's senior brother. Since Zhu Dingfei was nine years old, he has been practicing martial arts with Du Hanyi, eating and sleeping together, in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have flown by, Zhu Dingfei was ordered to return to Dadu, needless to say.

"I wasn't surrounded by more than a dozen women at the bottom of the mountain, and I couldn't walk."

Zhu Dingfei smiled gently, he was here in Du Hanyi, he could put down all his outfits and be gentle and comfortable.

"Are you embarrassed to make fun of it? I have asked you to come back to Lin'an three times and twice, you poor senior brother is about to be eaten alive, and you never care. ”

Du Han seemed to be reproaching, but his tone was as warm as jade.

The thing is that the first two times I brought a letter to Zhu Ding to fly back to the temple, it was indeed a big deal! Du Hanyi was visited by more than a dozen ladies and women from martial arts families who didn't know how to know his whereabouts in Dazhi Mountain, and they were all called admiration and visited, and they couldn't enter the mountain gate, which was really ridiculous and caused a sensation in martial arts.

"In the whole world, a woman who admires you can skin you alive, then you will die a thousand times."

Zhu Dingfei looked at Du Hanyi with his left hand on his cheek opposite with a smile in his dark eyes, and his expression was still leisurely.

"That's it, Master said when he was alive that you are the most lawless monkey in the world, you don't accept it if you take over the throne, you don't allow you to return to the court for political affairs, and I will stay in the temple and not be free. Now you come to laugh at my sleepiness, see that I am tied! ”

Du Hanyi's face was full of grievances.

"Okay, senior brother, accept my worship. You deserve to be the host, no one will be as good as you, why bother to bring up the past again, you know my heart best, how can I bear it, spare me. ”

Zhu Dingfei raised the teacup and deeply respected each other.

"I have told you so much, and I have despised you. But when I see you, it's not your demeanor to be so uneasy tonight. Thousands of troops and horses, swords and mountains and seas of fire in front of you, I have never seen you like this? If there is anything hidden, tell me quickly. ”

Du Han stopped joking and waited intently.

"Tonight, the matter of my father's exile to the prince of the people will come to light."

Zhu Dingfei said lightly.

"There is a cause and effect in this matter, naturally before the big white man, but it is a little earlier than expected." Du Han said softly, "And what." ”

"The descendants of the Tianxia faction have a secret edict in their hands, which concerns the crown prince." There has never been a secret between them.

"Finally surfaced." Du Han thought for a moment, "This opportunity is really wrong!" No wonder the palace is so prosperous. What else? ”

"Are you a three-year-old, no."

Zhu Dingfei's silent gaze turned as deep as the stars on a summer night.

"To be able to let my junior brother maintain it so carefully and personally, I'm afraid it has something to do with an absolutely extraordinary woman."

Du Han's blue eyes were pure, and there was no doubt in his tone, only affirmation. Zhu Dingfei is obviously in a state of preparation.

Zhu Dingfei glared at him and ignored him.

At this moment, the sound of killing outside the house sounded, there were assassins!

The two glanced at each other, quickly left the courtyard gate, and rushed towards the east wing.

Seeing Ao Piao and Tianxin guarding the door of the East Wing, Zhu Dingfei admonished:

"You stay here." After speaking, he flew out of the outer courtyard wall.

Du Han felt that his deep footsteps were thin and followed him closely.

Outside the gate of Laishan Temple, there was already a scuffle, and in the dark night, the Praetorian Guards were fighting with a large number of black-clothed people, and the scene was scorching.

"If you have something to say, you have to tear down my house."

Du Hanyi stood at the end of the eighty-one stone stairs --- the gate of Laishan Temple, clasped his hands, shook his head and said.

In the crowd, the cold light of Mu Xingji's bright lion sword blade flickered, and the moves "Shenlong Broad Head", "Spreading Wings and Bending Qiong", all of which were taught by Mo Yetian himself, he wanted to use his master's kung fu to avenge the shame of the Tianxia faction; Mo Xiewen's sword is like thunder, and he has no mercy on the overwhelming Imperial Forest Army, and his momentum is like a bamboo; Mo Xie Pingwei held Mo Xie Tian's Blood Yang Knife and lined up with Jin He, Mo Xie Pingwei had the state of his father hitting the stars that day; Jin He's shadowless sword galloped thunder and lightning, only to see its shadow but not its body, the two of them killed the enemy while cutting a bloody path for others; The master of the Duan Gate and the master of the Qu Gate also killed the red eyes at this time, and followed closely behind; And Lord Xue and Master Limen led a small group of people and were about to sneak into the backyard.

Mu Xingji grabbed a leader and asked sharply:

"Where's the Emperor?"

"In the east wing."

The man said in a trembling voice.

Mu Xingji gave the Xue Sect Lord a gesture, and the latter nodded and hurried east.

In the darkness of the sky and the shadow of the sword, Zhu Dingfei still recognized Mo Xie Takili at a glance.

He flew forward, and the horizontal sword blocked, and the Yuan soldier who was fighting with her was shocked and retreated a few steps.

A pair of unruly and deep eyes stared at her in front of her:

"Is this the method that Weiyu thought of hitting a stone with an egg?" His tone was not so much contempt as a reproach of concern.

"If you stand here today, we are enemies, so why bother to justify yourself."

Mo Xie Takili was forced into a corner by him, and his angry eyes looked at each other fiercely.

"Enemies? Okay, please go back to the mirror and take a good look at your strength, and then come to revenge! Let's fight for our lives again! ”

Zhu Dingfei's black eyes were filled with the cold light of broken ice, and they were awe-inspiring.

"So what? The outcome will be known only after the fight. ”

Mo Xie Takili was calm and calm, and her pupils were like ice.

"I always knew that you were weak, but I didn't know that you were stupid."

Zhu Dingfei sighed softly, and the chill came to the bottom of his eyes. They really want to, ruin!

"Heavenly reason, there is no need to say much, tell your executioner, the emperor, if you want the emperor's secret edict, come forward to get it in person." Why is he so angry, shouldn't he be angry?

Zhu Dingfei deeply felt her resoluteness, she was so persistent and stubborn, a pair of angry eyes, shining like glass.

Suddenly, there were a few eerie cries in my ears, like laughter and tears:

"The three ghosts of the Dead have come to consult with you."

Immediately, there were three more strangely dressed and withered people in the courtyard.

It was Saishu who mobilized the forces of the rivers and lakes, and the three ghosts of the Three Dead were evil and famous in the north, and they were accustomed to using deep internal skills, which was very ruthless.

As soon as they joined, the Mo Evil Brothers and the others, who had just killed a piece, fell into a scorching battle again. In a short period of time, both sides suffered serious casualties, which were very tragic.

"Haven't you just been reborn, aren't you Taoguang and obscure? Don't make unnecessary struggles and sacrifices, and if you're still sober, take them away now! ”

Zhu Dingfei saw the blood flowing into a river, and said earnestly.

Mo Xie Takili's heart trembled, he is the high banquet king, he is the master who holds the power of life and death, he is the winner of the victory, why......

While the two were talking, several thunderbolts suddenly flew down in front of them, and in an instant, explosions rang out, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the sound shook the sky.

Whether it was the Imperial Forest Army or the man in black, the injuries and deaths abounded, and the pavilion collapsed violently, and there was a miasma of black smoke.

"Presumptuous!"

Du Han roared, he really couldn't get used to such vicious and despicable methods. He joined his hands together, struck a blow from the sky, and used a lion wind howl, and the water poured into the mountains and seas! In an instant, the fire was extinguished everywhere, and the collision of water and fire made the outer courtyard full of smoke!

And the true qi of the lion wind whistle also hurt everyone present, except for a few people who could immediately calm down and breathe, the rest of the people vomited blood in their mouths.

"Lion Wind Howling!" The three ghosts were shocked, "This young man is only more than twenty years old, not to mention his thin body, he has no murderous aura before, how can he have a long-lost supreme divine skill in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"Lion Wind Howling!"

Mu Xingji and Mo Xie Wenxuan looked at each other, and the degree of surprise was no less than that of the three ghosts.

It turns out that the strongest murderous aura is not to let the people around you perceive the murderous aura. Everyone was at a loss, and they were all shocked.

"Don't back down yet!"

Zhu Dingfei looked around and roared.

Mo Xie Takiri raised her head and stared at the person who was firmly protecting her in front of her. Just exploded everywhere, and at the last moment, Zhu Dingfei hugged her tightly and did not choose to protect himself. At this moment, his right shoulder was bleeding and his arm was burned in many places, but still, there was no intention of retreating!

The additional Imperial Forest Army was sent in, and the leader ordered to retreat quickly, and both sides present were not lightly wounded, and they retreated scattered to wait.
