Chapter 30: The Turmoil in the Palace of Ten Thousand Blessings
As soon as the young Taoist made a move, Du Wenlin recognized him as Wei Dongqing, the "Star of the Future", who had fought with him in Hengshan Bridge Town.
Since he was here, there should be other helpers who didn't show up.
Today, they are preparing to wash the Wanfu Palace in blood, kill the opponents, and take all the Maoshan faction into their pockets.
Swinging his head at Wang Ling, Wang Ling drew his sword and rushed straight up.
With Wang Ling's skills, Wei Dongqing will not be defeated for a while and a half.
On the field, as Du Wenlin expected, Wei Dongqing's body style is fast, and the angle of the knife is tricky. Although Wang Ling's body style is slightly slower than Wei Dongqing's, she has a set of skillful Huashan swordsmanship, both offensive and defensive, and has a sword that sharpens iron like clay. So much so that the two were entangled repeatedly, and no one could help anyone.
In front of the main hall, everyone has taken the initiative to vacate a square field, and the two people in the field are like two butterflies dancing rapidly, dazzling.
"Kill!" A sudden command was issued from the crowd.
There was a sound of swords coming out of the sheath, and some Taoists drew daggers and swords and slashed at the people around them.
The vast majority of Taoists were defenseless, and they were stabbed to death and cut down many times on the spot.
The key is that among those who killed people, there were some martial arts masters, and at first glance, there were people from the rivers and lakes mixed in.
Because the martial arts of the Taoist priests are almost not high, they can't withstand the sudden attack of those masters at all.
There was a sudden chaos in the field, and most of the Taoists hid in Tibet, avoiding the pursuit of those Jianghu people.
Two of them rushed straight to the bottom of the corridor with daggers in their hands, and several Taoists desperately blocked the way to protect the Taoist Cangbai.
It's a pity that two people were stabbed to the ground in one face.
Du Wenlin shook his body and shot straight at him like an arrow, and before his body stopped, the two Jianghu people had already been sealed by sharp blades.
"Protect the Daoist!" Du Wenlin shouted, turned around and threw himself into the courtyard.
At this time, the Taoist in the courtyard has become a frightened bird, waiting to slaughter the lamb, and is chased by the people of the rivers and lakes with murder weapons all over the courtyard.
Du Wenlin exerted his speed to the limit, and the white figure spun around the courtyard chasing those killers, and suddenly returned.
The killers looked at the Taoist priests in the courtyard like frightened sheep, staring at them with frightened eyes and hiding everywhere, their hearts full of bloodthirsty excitement.
It's a pity that they forgot that "the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind", Du Wenlin's figure crossed them, and there was an extra spurting of blood in their throats or between their ribs, and almost no one was spared.
In a moment, the courtyard was filled with the corpses of the newly deceased, and the wounded were wailing miserably.
And the Daoists who were lucky enough to escape rushed into the main hall, trying their best to control their trembling bodies, and their eyes were full of extreme fear.
There were also two people doing the final fight, and the gray figure swirled faster and faster around the red figure, desperate to settle the battle immediately.
The red figure danced the sword into a white puppet, the white puppet wrapped the red clothes, and on the outside of the puppet, a gray figure continued to rotate around.
If it weren't for the life-and-death struggle, it would be a rare and beautiful scenery.
Du Wenlin carried a blood-dripping dagger and slowly walked towards the battlefield of the two, he was looking for a fighter, a fighter that would hit with one hit.
The gray whirling figure suddenly stopped, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed out of the courtyard like a fallen leaf blown by a strong wind.
He wants to run away!
Du Wenlin quickly chased him outside the courtyard, only to see that he had come out of the side door, flying straight down the mountain like a gray goshawk.
Du Wenlin thought to himself that the speed of his body would not slow down him, and he would not be able to catch up.
In the courtyard, Wang Ling was sitting under the porch panting, and his face was full of crimson.
After all, she is a girl with a physique, and her endurance is not as good as that of a man.
However, it is really not easy to fight with Wei Dongqing for so long without losing.
Seeing Wang Ling in such a situation, Du Wenlong's heart couldn't help but feel a little pity.
"Are you alright?" Wen Sheng asked.
"I can't die, Miss Ben's life is big, and I don't need these Taoist elders to overdo it for me for the time being." Wang Ling replied angrily.
Du Wenlin scratched his head and smiled bitterly.
Cangbai Dao Chang walked slowly and said:
"Thank you to the two donors for saving again, if it weren't for the two of you today, this sect would have been harmed by traitors, and there would be no more Maoshan Shangqing faction!"
"The Taoist chief doesn't have to be polite, the treacherous and evil people will be punished by everyone! Besides, chasing down the thieves is also my duty. ”
Du Wenlin turned his head to look at the courtyard, and the injured person had been carried into the temple for diagnosis and treatment:
"After this battle, those who colluded with the enemy were exposed, or there were individual fish that slipped through the net, and the Taoist chief still needed to carefully screen them. If you are not careful, it will become an internal problem. ”
Daoist Cangbai nodded yes.
Du Wenlin glanced at Cangmu and the others who were tied under the porch again, and said to Daoist Cangbai:
"They have strayed into the cult, but in fact they also have bitter intentions. As far as I know, they must all have taken the poison of that sect, the name of the medicine is 'Synodic Red Pill', and they must take the unique antidote of that sect on the day of synodic every month, otherwise, they will suffer from purgatory, and soon after, they will die of poison. ”
"Alas, as a monk, you can't be willing to be poor and envy glory, how can you not be deceived by traitors? There is no antidote here, and if they can survive it, thank God for the blessing of recreation. If you can't get through it, then pay the price for your desires. Cangbai Dao said with low eyebrows.
Du Wenlin sighed and was speechless.
There is also a group of "Red Confessions" detained in Changzhou City, and if they can't get the antidote, they will only have to answer the words of the Taoist chief in the end:
"I can get through it, thanks to the blessing of God's recreation. If you can't get through it, then pay the price for your desires. ”
"In this incident, the traitors hidden in your sect have almost been uprooted, and they should not be corroded by the cult again in the future. If you are still entangled by them, you can go to the Changzhou Mansion to find Ouyang Prefect for help. Du Wenlin said to Daoist Cangbai.
"Thank you for your concern! The two benefactors are the reborn benefactors of the religion! In the future, if you need the help of this religion, all the people of this religion will die even if they go to the soup and fire! "Daoist Cangbai's attitude is very sincere, and Du Wenlin thanked him.
The matter was over here, and Du Wenlin and the others said goodbye to the head of Cangbai and went out of the palace gate.
"Hmph, why didn't you catch up with that thief and kill him just now? He almost killed Miss Ben. Wang Ling said dissatisfied.
Du Wenlin smiled:
"If I could catch up, would I let him run?"
"Auntie seems to have talked about him last night, right? What's his name? ”
"His name is Wei Dongqing."
"It seems that there is something else to say about the 'future star.'"
Du Wenlin didn't reply, he didn't want outsiders to know too many secrets about that ethnic group.
Seeing that Du Wenlin didn't answer, Wang Ling knew that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't care about himself.
Although she has a cheerful personality and is unscrupulous in her words, Bing Xue is smart and will not do anything that annoys him.
"Shall we go to another mountain?" Du Wenlin asked.
Wang Ling pouted:
"I wanted you to accompany me to worship the gods and see the scenery, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to do it in a day, I fought twice, and went to the ghost gate twice. Where is the mood left? Just go down the mountain, you find a high-grade restaurant, get more delicious food, and make up for this girl's body. ”
"Okay, I'm from Jiangnan and know some famous Jiangnan recipes. For example, stewed crab roe, braised and stewed lion's head, crystal trotters, duck wrapped fish, etc., ten dishes in one meal, ten days without duplicates. ”
Hearing Wang Ling's continuous swallowing:
"What's the grind then? Hurry up. ”
Du Wenlin smiled, and the two figures, one red and one white, galloped down the mountain.
The Jinyi guard led by the Hundred Households Tu Qianjun had arrived at the Changzhou Mansion, and a total of eleven people came to him.
Tu Qianjun was about forty years old, with a full beard, a high nose and deep eyes, and at first glance he looked like a bearded man.
The character is also like looks, rough and heroic.
When Du Wenlin saw the arrival of reinforcements, he was happy in his heart, and seemed to have added a lot of courage.
Since Meng Gang died in battle, his heart has always been up and down, and he is uneasy, because he really feels unsure of his heart when he lets himself lead the team to continue the work below.
Tu Qianjun is here, at least there is someone to negotiate.
"Lord Du, eleven of us are at your disposal." Tu Qianjun said.
Du Wenlin hurriedly said:
"Master Tu doesn't need to be polite, everyone can take care of each other."
Then the process of Maoshan and his party was described in detail.
"This group of disciples is really hateful, and they actually put their hands into the Taoist cultivation land!" Ouyang Governor slapped the table angrily.
"But fortunately, Lord Du made this trip in vain, and he helped the Maoshan faction survive this catastrophe." Tu Qianjun said.
"The bandits are so rampant that they are constantly stirring up trouble, so they simply sent troops to kill them today." Ouyang Governor said indignantly.
"To this day, only the Wuxi Renfu Tankou and Maoshan strongholds have been defeated, and we still know very little about other things. It is not difficult to send troops to arrest Jin Changshun now, but the key is that once there is a stir, the members of his subordinates will scatter in a hurry and turn around and throw themselves into other helms, which will bring more inconvenience to our future actions. Du Wenlin analyzed.
"Lord Du is reasonable, for the sake of today's plan, it is better to stay put, secretly search for other henchmen, and when the time is ripe, catch them all." Tu Qianjun said.
When Master Jin Changshun Jin heard the news of the loss of the Maoshan stronghold, he was so angry that he scolded. It was the first time that the housekeeper Jin Fu had seen the old man so disrespectful, standing next to him and being too frightened to say much.
The Maoshan stronghold was developed by him with a lot of effort and financial resources, and those Taoist priests were not easy to deal with, and almost all the means of coercion and temptation were used, so that there was the current situation. Seeing that the entire Shangqing faction was about to be controlled by himself, who knew that it fell short, and he was disturbed by Du Wenlin, a kid.
There's a lot of hard work I've put in!
The Dongying warriors dispatched this time were also hired by him from the Ningbo Japanese stronghold at great expense, and also gave their leaders a big guarantee, that is, if the Japanese attacked near Changzhou, he would lead his subordinates to join forces and take Changzhou in one fell swoop. And the Japanese people may promise to let him serve as the prefect of Changzhou Prefecture.
Although the promise of the Dongying people sounds ridiculous, they can take advantage of their power to take the opportunity to raise the banner of rebellion, defeat the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River, seize half of the country, and live the emperor's addiction.
Although it is a question whether they can fight on this side, they know the combat effectiveness of those Dongying killers, and at least for the time being, they can be used to help them consolidate their foundation.
However, I didn't expect to return home for the first time, and it seems that the ability of these factory dogs is far beyond their own cognition.
They are now entrenched in the yamen of Changzhou, and they let themselves be like a man's back all the time.
Hard work can't fight them, and the tens of thousands of garrisons outside the city are not something he can deal with.
Now there are still two ways to go, the first is to continue on the old path, assassination. But now it seems that these masters under his command are not absolutely sure of winning.
Second, he truthfully reported his current predicament to the chief rudder, and let the chief rudder exert pressure on Dongchang and Jinyiwei through the relationship in the palace to remove the investigation of the "red feudal religion" in Changzhou. If they are allowed to investigate, sooner or later they will find themselves on the head. At that time, the Jin family's large industry accumulated over several generations may be wiped out in an instant.
The second path, while seemingly safer, is not easy to follow because it involves a lot of people and departments.
But I can't just sit back and wait, I can only try hard, and I can do things in people and in heaven.
