Chapter 638: Monk Rebellion (I)

At dusk, it was dark.

This made the fires everywhere in Jinling City more and more dazzling, and also made the hearts of the people who saw the fire everywhere more and more panicked, and countless people ran to flee, just looking for a safe place.

But there may only be one place left that can be considered safe: the Imperial Palace, where His Majesty the Emperor is located.

Only the half of the street where the palace is located can hardly see the crowd, and there is no fire, only a few generals are carefully guarded there, and the palace gate is also guarded.

Originally, the thousands of elites who were stationed here had been sent by the emperor because of the rebellion in the city, and now there are less than 100 people left.

With a huge palace, it was obviously impossible for these hundred people to hold every key position, so they could only disperse and strictly guard the gates everywhere, not allowing anyone to approach.

At this time, I saw a group of people stumbling towards the gate, just looking at their embarrassed and panicked appearance, as well as the faint visible blood stains on their bodies, it can be seen that this is a group of nearby people who have suffered the impact.

But before they could really get close to the place in front of the palace gate, with a whoosh, an arrow had been nailed diagonally to the ground in front of them, and then a general in front of them also shouted: "The palace is important and must not trespass! Anyone who comes near will be punished for plotting against him, and he will be killed!"

In the previous period, several groups of people had fled for their lives in a panic, only to be stopped by the guards with bows and arrows and a tough attitude. This time, it seemed to them that it was the same, and the other party quickly stopped after screaming.

But soon, some of these fleeing people stood up and cried, "The emperor saved us...... Now we are cornered, there are fires everywhere, and there are people who take advantage of the fire to rob and kill people, and we dare not go anywhere......".

These words immediately caused everyone else to cry and beg: "Your Majesty, help, we are all honest and responsible Jinling people, we just want to live......

For a while, the cries of dozens of people rang out and went through the palace gate.

After all, this palace is different from the real palace, and now that so many people are crying outside the gate, the momentum is really likely to alarm His Majesty the Emperor inside. This made the guards guarding the door uneasy for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, someone simply stepped forward with a knife and shouted threateningly: "You are so bold that you dare to mess around in front of the palace!" If you don't retreat, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With a swing of the knife, the sharp edge of the snow was dazzling, and it seemed that it could chop off the head of someone in front of him at any time.

This scolding really had a role, silencing the people who were still crying, and then when they met the menacing gaze of this menacing star, they bowed their heads in a hurry, and then slowly got up, and they all retreated straight back.

The guards in the rear were also relieved to see that he was able to control the whole field alone. If you can keep the palace gate safely, it's better not to have any conflicts with people.

Many of the guards who had been aiming with their bows in case of a change also unconsciously lowered their bows and arrows to avoid making mistakes that would hurt the innocent.

And at this moment, something happened abruptly!

The change did not come from the fleeing people in front of the main entrance, which they were still staring at, but from the shadows on the side.

Suddenly, a whizzing sound sounded from the side, and at the same time, hundreds of feather arrows struck.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the arrow arrived in front of them, completely killing the guards by surprise, so that they could not even dodge and block, and they were quickly shot into hedgehogs, screaming and falling.

At this moment, a team of two or three hundred people quickly flashed out of the darkness, and their actions were extremely decisive, and they rushed forward brazenly, and the weapons in their hands fell on the guards who fell to the ground without hesitation.

Blood splattered, screams resumed, and in just a few moments, the dozens of guards were all counted, and the palace gate was completely lost.

When this sudden change occurred, the guard general who came out in large numbers, and the fleeing people in front of him were full of consternation, and none of them could react.

It wasn't until he saw that those guys dressed in black were about to rush into the palace that he suddenly came over and screamed urgently

"You ......," he said, and he stepped forward to stop him.

However, the other party also had murderous intent towards him, and at the moment when he grabbed a step, the arrows had already been fired, and the dense random arrows made him not have time to resist too much, so he also followed in the footsteps of other comrades, and was killed by an arrow.

And these hundreds of people didn't stop at all, and they quickly rushed into the open palace gate and killed them directly inside the palace.

At the same time, the movement here also alarmed the guards in other positions in the palace, and several teams of people and horses no longer cared about their respective duties, shouted one after another, rushed towards the main entrance, and immediately collided with hundreds of black-clothed people who also rushed in.

It was also at this time that under the light of the torches and lanterns, at a close enough distance, they could clearly see the true appearance of these thieves who had entered the palace, and they were a large group of monks with bare heads.

"Who are you?" Some generals subconsciously shouted and reprimanded.

But in response to them, there was only a ferocious attack, hundreds of monks surrounded and killed without blinking, opening the way with bows and arrows, supplemented by a series of attacks that were very disciplined and coordinated, and their attacks were not inferior to the elite officers and soldiers of Dayue.

Although these generals who were ordered to guard the palace were all elite and strong generals selected from the official army, they were quickly defeated and surrounded by the unfavorable situation that the enemy was seven or eight times their own, and finally the entire army was annihilated.

This battle only took this group of monks less than a cup of tea. After killing the guards in front of them, they continued to advance along the winding courtyard path towards the courtyard behind them.

It was only when one of the tall monks stepped over the corpses of the group of officers and soldiers that he said in a low voice to the corpses, "Monks of Jiming Temple!"

This is obviously regarded as a response to the previous questioner, but this answer can no longer be really heard by any officers and soldiers on the scene.

They quickly advanced and occupied the courtyard, and from time to time monks separated from the ranks and searched around each courtyard, killing everyone they encountered on the spot.

This time, their goal is to kill all the living mouths in the palace, leaving no one behind.

Of course, the most important target in the middle is still the person with the highest status, the person who could have become their best ally - Emperor Sun Ning!

After sweeping the entire palace like a storm and clouds, they finally saw the familiar figure in front of the penultimate courtyard, which is now the harem of the palace.

Sun Ning, accompanied by only four or five people around him, officially met them!

Chapter 639: Monk Rebellion (II)

Under the sharp gaze of a group of monks and soldiers, they found that the face of this promising king, who had once lost his country and wanted to regain the world, turned pale, and even his body seemed to tremble.

Apparently he was angry and frightened, and even the city that he should have as the king of a country had disappeared.

This made the hearts of all the monks feel very happy, what emperor His Majesty, when he really encountered danger and trouble, he was no different from ordinary people?

Do you really think that he can do whatever he wants in Jiangnan with only that little ability, and easily eradicate all the Buddhism that has taken root here for a hundred years? Didn't he think that the Buddhists would rise up and make him pay the heaviest price?

And now, the price is about to be fulfilled, even if he regrets changing at this time, it will not help!

"Amitabha!" With a Buddha call, Monk Hongyun stepped out of the ranks of monks, looked at His Majesty the Emperor in front of him with a smile, and said, "Sun Ning, you didn't expect that you would end up like this!"

Sun Ning's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted, "Hongyun, do you know what you're doing? This is a rebellion and murder of the king, why did you Jiming Temple make such a rebellious move!"

"The poor monk naturally knows what he is doing, just like helping the imperial court to take Jinling City before, we are guarding our Jiming Temple and guarding the entire Buddhist gate!"

Monk Hongyun said as he moved forward step by step: "Sun Ning, don't you know what the purpose of those things you are doing?

"You

If you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, the birds will hide their bows! It's like dealing with the nine wealthy families in Jiangnan, and it also drives our Buddhist monks into a desperate situation. Since you don't want to leave us a way to live, we won't give you another chance!

"You are a king of the dead country, and you are lucky to have a little achievement today, a few pieces of land to live in. Do you really think that you are still the king who is high up and all the people need to submit to you and prostrate at your feet?

"Today, we will use our way to get rid of you, the devil of the world, the great trouble of the world!"

Every time he said a word, the person took a step forward, putting enough pressure on the few people in front of him, and making Sun Ning's face in front of him paler and paler.

And this performance gave the monks and soldiers behind him courage, and the last hesitation in their eyes quickly dissipated.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, even if the Dayue country has long been overturned, even if they are all monks and outsiders, they still inevitably have a sense of awe for the emperor in their hearts.

After all, the emperor is different from those wealthy families, so that they can kill him without the slightest burden, and if they really want to kill him, it obviously requires an extremely long process of persuasion, or an extremely important excuse.

And now, as the head of the monks and soldiers, the words of the Hongyun monk of the first seat of Jiming Temple have given them enough courage and reason - we were forced to act helplessly, and the emperor was killed to protect Buddhism!

With this belief set, these monks became more courageous and determined, and their steps towards the circle were naturally firmer.

"You guys really say it nicely, what is it for the Buddhist temple, and in the final analysis, it's not for your own selfish desires?

"On the surface, Jiangnan Buddhism seems to be trusted and loved by the people, but in fact, everything you do is only to satisfy your greed. To act like this is to have already deviated from the original intention of the Buddha to purify the world, and you are the biggest destroyer of Buddhism!"

Sun Ning's footsteps retreated slightly, but he still shouted loudly: "Therefore, for the people of Jiangnan, for the sake of the Great Yue World, it is only natural that I want to take back everything that does not belong to you from your hands!

"But what are you doing now for this lust? actually disturbed the entire Jinling and ruined hundreds of people's families! Is this what you see as compassion and precepts? Is this what you call the meaning of Buddhism's existence in the world?"

One rhetorical question after another was like a slap in the face, constantly knocking on the hearts of the monks, making their actions sluggish again.

Especially Sun Ning then shouted again: "Don't ignore it, once the accident really spreads, you will be sinners in the world. At that time, there will be soldiers and horses from all sides besieging Jiangnan, and the destruction of Buddhism will still be inevitable at that time, and you have only delayed this result by doing all this!"

When these words fell into the ears of the monks, their bodies froze again, and their eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of uneasiness and hesitation.

"You save this effort, and wait until you get underground and then talk to others!" Hongyun didn't expect Sun Ning to be so tongue-in-cheek, but he was at a disadvantage in the rebuttal.

But it doesn't matter, he still has the certainty of victory, and now he is under siege, and he is already a certain death.

"Sun Ning, no matter how much you say, it's useless, you will die today. I know you're trying to delay a little longer, hoping that there will be soldiers and horses to save you, but now that the city is in chaos, I'm going to have the roads around it blocked off so that no one can save you.

"As for your so-called world, all sides of the world will attack my Buddha Gate...... As long as you die, the Dayue court will be completely destroyed, and who else will claim to be loyal ministers and do such a thankless job? So, go and die!"

With the last sentence coming out, he had already taken the lead in rushing forward, and with a wave of his hand, the two ring knives had been slashed out like lightning, cutting Sun Ning's neck and waist, and at the same time, he also shouted in his mouth: "Up! The Demon Destroyer is today!"

In addition to the identity of monks, these monks also have the identity of a layer of soldiers, and they have long been accustomed to obeying orders.

Although they still had layers of worries in their hearts now, after hearing this order, they still rushed forward without thinking. But their weapons, still

subconsciously only attacked the guards beside Sun Ning, and only Hongyun's two ring knives were the emperor Sun Ning who really killed him.

This knife, he is determined to win!

At this moment, Hongyun's eyes seemed to have a fire jumping, with madness and excitement.

Like this, who can kill the king of a country with his own hands, even if it is just a down-and-out fallen monarch, I am afraid that there are only a few people throughout the ages, and once he succeeds, he will definitely remain in the annals of history!

The screams suddenly erupted, but under his preoccupation, Hongyun couldn't tell which direction the sound came from, but it must have been a guard who had been killed. The monks and soldiers under his command were really fast enough, and they were already ...... before they succeeded.

Wrong!

A violent uneasiness suddenly struck, making Hongyun's movements suddenly pause, and his body also stopped, and the red light suddenly bloomed in front of him at this time, like a red lotus in a Buddhist scripture-
