Innkeeper rooms. Li Zhiyun is practicing calligraphy under the lamp, and Liu Yinglian is studying ink on the side, just like the scholar reading hard with candles, and the beautiful woman's red sleeves add fragrance, which is a warm picture.

At this time, Zhang Zheng walked in. When Li Zhiyun saw it, he put the rabbit pen on the pen stand, stood up and said with a smile: "Zhang Zheng, what good news have you brought me?" Zhang Zheng hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, that person's identity has been found out." His name was Yan Han, and he was a lieutenant in the army. ”

"Oh, lieutenant in the army?" Li Zhiyun asked rhetorically.

Zhang Zheng nodded and said, "There is better news." This afternoon, Chu Shizheng and a subordinate named Ren Hongbin entered the courtyard. When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was quite surprised, and muttered to himself: "So, they are in a gang?" ”

Li Zhiyun had already heard that Chu Shizheng was not Chang Da's subordinate, but Xue Rengao's person. Three months ago, he led several hundred men to the city of Qizhou to surrender. Changda trusted him and appointed him as his lieutenant.

Zhang Zheng nodded and said, "Yan Han was originally a person from Chu Shizheng, and he defected with him. Li Zhiyun pondered for a moment, suddenly realized, and said: "I understand, it must be Chu Shizheng who instructed Yan Han to lead people to dig that tunnel, wanting to kill Chang Da and then seize military power." However, when Yan Han led people to dig tunnels, he happened to be seen by the thief Li Er. In order to extinguish the mouth, Chu Shizheng instructed Yan Han to kill Li Er. Zhang Zheng listened, nodded and said, "It is not unreasonable for the prince to analyze it like this. ”

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Wang, Zhang Sima, Yan Han has left that mansion. ”

"Oh? Where did he go? Li Zhiyun hurriedly asked.

The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know." The brothers told me to come back and report that someone else was following him. Li Zhiyun frowned, thought about it, and said, "They must take action, you have to keep an eye on them!" When Zhang Zheng and the guards heard this, they both clasped their fists and said, "Obey!" ”

The sun is rising. Guanghua Temple is filled with fragrant mist, Sanskrit sound is swirling, under the high steps in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the host wears a red and yellow robe, and leads the monks to greet the distinguished guests.

After a while, I saw Chang Da dressed neatly and led several guards into the gate of the temple. This is his habit, no matter where he goes, he must meticulously put on his helmet and armor, in case someone casts cold arrows in the dark. The host hurriedly led the monks to greet him, and folded his hands: "Amitabha, the benefactor deigns to come to our temple, which is a blessing for us." ”。 Chang Da returned the salute with a smile: "Master Lao has been waiting for a long time, and it has been hard." ”

"Don't be polite, please!"

Under the guidance of the host, Chang Da climbed the stairs and entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall. In front of him is a huge seated statue of Sakyamuni, the big Buddha is full of golden light, and the smile is lovely. Chang Da stood still in front of the Buddha statue, and the host accompanied him. He took the incense burned by the monk, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Donor, please." After thanking him, Chang Da took the incense, knelt on the futon three times and bowed nine times, and then stepped forward to insert the incense into the incense burner.

At this moment, with a few thunderous roars, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, five or six heroes jumped down from the beams of the main hall. With steel knives in hand, they rushed towards the two stunned guards with lightning speed, and slashed them down. Then, several steel knives were placed on Changda's neck. The abbot and the other monks were frightened by the sudden killing, and one by one they collapsed to the ground, their faces like dust and their bodies like chaff.

Chang Da was shocked, only to hear a burst of laughter from outside the temple gate, and then a group of people poured in. They were all armed with weapons, like fierce gods, and the leader was Chu Shizheng. Chang Da looked at Chu Shizheng suspiciously, and said, "Shizheng, why are you?" What do you want? Chu Shizheng sneered and said, "General Chang, I'm sorry, I want to take away your military power!" ”

"Ahh Do you want to rebel? ”

"You're right!"

Chang Da suddenly realized and said, "I understand." It turns out that you are a deception. Chu Shizheng laughed, then waved his hand and said, "Tie him up, escort him to the meditation room in the backyard, and take strict care!" Several soldiers agreed, stepped forward and made Chang Da like a rice dumpling, and then escorted him away.

Chang Da's dozen guards inside and outside the monastery had long been killed, and Chu Shizheng left a dozen soldiers to guard Chang Da, and then led the others back to the barracks.

"Okay."
