The tunnel with no end in sight stretched somewhere, pitch black, with the occasional huge rat passing through its feet. After walking for a long time, they saw a glimmer of light coming in.

"We're at the exit, and it's safe to walk out of here." An excited voice came. The other used his hand to remove the vines that covered the opening, and with the sword in his hand, he cut down some of the thick roots, and the hole grew bigger and bigger, and the light that shot into the hole increased.

It's finally out! One person stretched out his hand and felt the incomparably fresh air, but the moment he stretched out his hand, a sword pierced the outstretched hand outside, and the man immediately screamed.

"The people inside listened to me, and they came out one by one, and if there were people who couldn't hide, we would set fire to them!"

Their whereabouts were discovered, and someone in the temple ran to tell the secret.

Under the threat of outsiders, the people in the cave had to show up, but there were only three people inside, and there were no Yuan Heng brothers. When the three men came out, they saw a dozen or twenty enemy soldiers guarding outside. The three of them drew their swords from their waists and fought valiantly against the enemy.

Chu Yuanzhen had already expected the miscalculation of the tunnel, but fortunately he did not take the tunnel to break through. There are fewer people left, so there can be no mistakes, and he specially instructed Song Jinfei: "The prince can be handed over to you, if there is any mistake, I will ask for you." ”

Song Jinfei was not polite, and exchanged conditions with Yuan Zhen on the spot: "Don't forget to promise me about the second son, I will never spare you if she wants to have a good one." ”

Surrounded by outsiders, they were trapped and dead here, unable to move, and now they had to break through if they wanted to survive. Chu Yuanzhen was already ready to fight against the odds.

"The rest of the people are listening to my orders, instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to attack, and break through the back door, front door, and side door one by one, and your task is to disperse your forces."

The remaining nine guards were ordered to carry out their respective missions.

Hengshu asked anxiously, "What should we do next?" ”

"Wait, wait for them to break a bloody path for us, and then wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Heng Shu asked in surprise: "Will there be reinforcements?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Is it relying on the will of heaven?" And he has pinned his hopes on the people who came out of the tunnel, hoping that those three people can be lucky enough to break through the outside guard line and pass on their situation here, as long as they wait for reinforcements then they will have hope.

A vicious fight was inevitable, Yuan Zhen walked up to Zhangzhu, and he said to Zhangzhu: "You don't have to be frightened, it will be fine." As long as we get past tonight, we have hope. ”

But Zhangzhu seems that they are weak, and none of those people outside can fight, where is the manpower assigned by Chu Yuanzhen enough.

"Second son, I'm afraid that the disparity in power is too great, and we will suffer sooner or later."

"Don't draw conclusions too early, maybe the will of heaven will land on our side, don't the people outside do it first, then it's easy to do." Yuan Zhen said to Liao Kai again: "You carefully guard Miss Fu, I only ask you if she has any mistakes." ”

After Yuanzhen finished explaining, she hurriedly left the tower courtyard and strode towards the front hall, Zhangzhu couldn't figure out what Chu Yuanzhen's plan was, in her opinion, it was extremely difficult to break out of the encirclement.

"He's doing nonsense, isn't he?" Zhangzhu wondered.

Liao Kai said with a smile: "Miss Fu, don't underestimate our second master, although he is a scholar, he is a very assertive reader. At such a critical juncture, you can see his frightened look. I won't hide it from you, he has already expected such a situation today, so it is enough for us to obediently wait for reinforcements to come. ”

But Zhangzhu is still skeptical, how long will they be able to hold out, and will reinforcements arrive? Or that the outside will give them a chance to drag on time, and how long can the poor troops that are sent out.

Chu Yuanzhen went to the main hall, and he asked the monk Zhike to gather all the monks in the temple.

"I was grateful that your temple took us in, but I didn't expect it to bring such a big disaster to your temple. Your temple has been standing for hundreds of years and is still not falling, I think you have seen a lot of winds and waves, and today's incident may be just a small thing for you. But at this critical juncture, for the sake of your temple and your presiding abbot, I would like to ask you to unite and help us......"

The Zhike monk had already anticipated Yuan Zhen's intentions, and he stepped forward and asked, "Master Chu, how do you say this?" ”

"Master, haven't you understood the intention of Zaixia, so let's make it clear to you what you think in your heart."

Chu Yuanzhen had already prepared some rhetoric in his heart, and with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, from the beginning of the founding of the Great Chu and the prosperous era laid by Emperor Gaozong to the current situation, he was like a river and his thinking was very clear. However, after a stick of incense, a monk spoke out: "Don't be afraid, the second son, our Baohua Temple is willing to live and die with the son." ”

As soon as such a voice came out, a monk followed suit, and as the more voices of support, Yuan Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally achieved the result he wanted.

The Zhike monk looked a little confused on the side, what kind of ecstasy soup did this young man instill into the disciples in the temple, and why he could get so much support immediately.

Not long after Chu Yuanzhen finished preaching, a monk hurriedly came to tell everyone: "It's not good, it's not good." Those people are going to kill in, and they say that they will set fire to our Baohua Temple. ”

Chu Yuanzhen's expression was awe-inspiring, he looked at the monk beside him and asked, "Master, haven't you made a decision yet?" Do you want to watch the inheritance of your ancestors fall into your hands? ”

The monk was slightly stunned, why was it destroyed in his hands? If it weren't for the abbot Xinci who accepted these people, how could their Baohua Temple cause today's catastrophe, but the imminent situation no longer allowed him to have other plans, so he had to say: "The disciple swears to defend Baohua Temple to the death." ”

Chu Yuanzhen finally encouraged these monks to stand on the same line as herself, and the monks took up sticks to protect their temples from being violated.

They finally have one more layer of chance.

Chu Yuanzhen returned to the side of the tower courtyard, he didn't see Zhangzhu, and only after asking his surroundings did he know that Zhangzhu was treating his eldest brother. Chu Yuanzhen couldn't wait to walk to the room over there, he stepped forward and asked urgently, "Is my brother's condition okay?" ”

"Maybe his mood was affected, there was a brief coma, I gave him medicine, and he has fallen asleep at this time, and it is okay for the time being."

"Good thing you're around."

Zhangzhu glanced up at Yuan Zhen, and she said, "We have no way out, right?" ”

Yuan Zhen nodded silently.
