159.Chapter 159
Baoguo Temple is located outside the south city, is a large temple of more than 1,000 monks, has a history of more than 100 years, early the next morning, Li Zhen came to Baoguo Temple with more than a dozen people, he came here to visit the abbot of the original Lintoe Temple Master Zhiguang.
Since the occupation of Lin Toe Monastery by Lao Ni in Hanoi, hundreds of monks from the original monastery have been forced to move to Bao Quoc Monastery, and they have raised money to rebuild the monastery outside the city.
A monk led them into the backyard, and at the gate of a monastery, Li Zhen met Master Zhiguang, who had been injured by Lan Zhenyu's poisoned arrow, and had been treated with proper care for a few days by Master Zhiguang, and he had always been grateful.
"Amitabha, is Gongzi Li okay?" Master Zhiguang smiled slightly.
"Coming here today is a trivial matter to trouble the master. ”
"Okay, Li Gongzi, please sit in the room!"
Li Zhen asked his subordinates to wait outside the courtyard, he followed Master Zhiguang into the meditation room, the two sat down separately, a little monk served them tea, Li Zhen took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "I heard that the master plans to rebuild the temple, didn't you think of returning to the Linzhi Temple?"
Master Zhiguang smiled helplessly, "How easy it is to talk about!"
"I have the intention of expelling the demon nuns and returning the Lintoe Temple to the master. Li Zhen smiled tentatively.
Master Zhiguang smiled faintly, "Thank you Gongzi Li for your kindness." ”
Master Zhiguang is obviously just perfunctory to Li Zhen, he doesn't believe that Li Zhen has this ability at all, with Xue Huaiyi as the backstage, even if Xiangguo is now, there is nothing he can do, he has long been dead set on returning to Linzhi Temple, of course, Li Zhen did not come up with anything that convinces him.
At this time, Li Zhen took out his internal guard commander gold medal and put it on the table, "Can you do it with this?"
Master Zhiguang's eyes suddenly straightened, the double-headed eagle waist card of the internal guard was known to everyone in Luoyang City, ordinary soldiers wore bronze medals, captains wore silver medals, and the commander and the two deputy commanders wore gold medals, Li Zhen took out the double-headed eagle gold medal, how could Master Zhiguang not be shocked.
He hurriedly got up and clasped his palms together to salute, "The poor monk has neglected Commander Li!"
Li Zhen smiled and replied: "I don't mean anything else, I just want the master to know that I am not a mouthful." ”
Master Zhiguang's eyes began to shine, and he was no longer as sad as he was just now, of course he was eager to return to Lintoe Temple, but behind Hanoi Lao Ni was Xue Huaiyi, which made him feel deeply desperate.
But Li Zhen took out the gold medal of the internal guard, and let him see a glimmer of hope, the internal guard is carrying out the will of the saint in a great way, could it be that the saint has also begun to dislike the demon nuns in Hanoi?
Master Zhiguang hurriedly invited Li Zhen to sit down again, leaned over slightly and said with a smile: "I wonder what help I can provide to Commander Li?"
He was so eager to return to the temple that he had made no secret of his inner expectations.
Li Zhen said with a smile: "I came to visit the master today, just hoping to get the complete layout of the Lintoe Temple, I believe the master has this map here." ”
Master Zhiguang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I do have a complete map, please wait for Commander Li, and I will go and get it." ”
He got up and went to the house, and after a moment, he took out a long scroll and carefully spread it out on the couch, "This is a layout map of Lintoe Temple drawn ten years ago, please take a look at it by Commander Li." ”
Li Zhen stood in front of the map, staring at this detailed layout map with blazing eyes, as well as the distribution of the underground palace, which was exactly the detailed map he hoped to get, he squatted down, pointed to the easternmost courtyard and said: "This should be Wei Tuan'er's Guanyin Hall!"
"Commander Li is right, this is exactly the place!"
Li Zhen frowned slightly, "There is an underground palace under the Guanyin Hall, why is it not shown on this map?"
Master Zhiguang said apologetically: "All the dungeon maps should be there, but I don't know why this Guanyin Hall dungeon is not displayed on the map. ”
Li Zhen looked at the map again and asked suspiciously, "The dungeon seems to be very disorganized, what is the reason for this?"
Master Zhiguang smiled bitterly and said: "Lintoe Temple was built during the Western Jin Dynasty, after the Yongjia Rebellion, the temple survived, the monks began to dig the underground palace in order to protect themselves, which lasted for nearly forty years, making the underground palace below very complicated, I stayed in the temple for thirty years, and never figured it out, the underground palace of Guanyin Hall is just one of the corners. ”
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked: "Outside Wei Tuan'er's Guanyin Hall now, Hanoi Lao Nibu has more than 20 White Horse Temple warrior monks to protect it, what does the master think is the reason?"
Master Zhiguang's face changed, Li Zhen asked too directly, how dare he get involved in such a thrilling infighting, he hurriedly got up, lowered his eyes and clasped his palms: "I can lend this map to Commander Li, if nothing else, I have to do my homework." ”
Master Zhiguang is driving people away, Li Zhen didn't ask him more, slowly put away the map, and said with a smile: "Thank you Master for your help, I'm leaving." ”
Li Zhen walked out of the courtyard quickly, and arched his hand to him again, "Master, please stay!"
Master Zhiguang's lips moved, and finally he couldn't help but hint in a low voice: "The underground palace is interlocking and extending in all directions, and many key entrances and exits are in some inconspicuous places, and Commander Li can check carefully." ”
Li Zhen understood what he meant, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you, master, farewell!"
He walked out of the monastery quickly, and more than a dozen of his subordinates followed him out of the Baoguo Temple
Baoguo Temple is located in the southwest of Luoyang, about ten miles away from the city, this area is relatively remote, covered with a large area of woods, a winding official road leads directly to the thick door.
Li Zhen led more than a dozen of his men to gallop on the official road, at this time, he suddenly stopped his horse, and his sharp eyes looked vigilantly at a forest in front of him, he seemed to see something.
At this time, Li Zhen shouted, "Beware of the arrows!"
He quickly crouched on the war horse, only to see more than 20 arrows shot through the air, a few arrows grazed the top of his head, and the three internal guard soldiers behind him couldn't dodge, were shot by cold arrows, screamed, and planted the war horse.
Li Zhen was furious, quickly took off his bow and arrows, and three consecutive arrows shot like meteors, and there were three screams in the woods, only to see three black shadows falling from the big tree.
At this time, nearly two hundred black-clothed people poured out from the front and rear woods, holding swords and rushing towards the internal guards, and the black-clothed men had blocked the official roads in front of them, with dense woods on the left and a ramp of more than ten zhang on the right.
If they do not break out of the siege in time, they will surely die on the narrow official road.
Li Zhen saw that he was in danger, and shouted, "Rush out with me!"
He put on his longbow, pulled out the horizontal knife of the inner guard, scrambled his legs between his horses, and rushed forward, and a dozen of his subordinates behind rescued a surviving companion and followed Li Zhen to sprint.
Several arrows shot head-on, and were slashed away by Li Zhen's sword, instantly rushing into the black-clothed crowd that blocked him.
The official road is narrow, and there are not too many people standing, only about two dozen black-clothed people intercept in front, but more and more black-clothed people are running out of the woods, and they follow Li Zhen to run forward, once the black-clothed people form multiple interceptions, the internal guard warriors will be in danger.
Li Zhen roared, swung his knife and slashed, the internal guard's horizontal knife was extremely sharp, the two heads were instantly chopped away by him, blood splattered out, and the strong war horse also kicked over several people, he rushed out four or five feet in one go, and several of his subordinates also rushed into the black-clothed man, swinging the knife and slashing indiscriminately.
The black-clothed people were all wrapped in turbans, but with the slashing of horizontal knives and the collision of war horses, many people's headscarves slipped down, revealing bald heads, and the internal guards shouted with hatred, "It's a damn warrior monk!"
Li Zhen didn't say a word, of course he knew that these were warrior monks sent by Xue Huaiyi, and they didn't dare to ambush them on such a large scale in Luoyang City, but they seized the opportunity to go out of the city to Baoguo Temple.
Although it only took a short time for Li Zhen to go from the current enemy situation to rushing into the enemy group, the shape had become very critical, and nearly a hundred warrior monks of the White Horse Temple flocked to it.
Li Zhen killed five or six people in a row, rushed through a bloody road, he galloped on his horse, and in an instant he ran more than twenty steps, leaving behind the warrior monk who blocked him.
He turned around again, but there were only six people behind him, and an internal guard soldier was shot by a bow and arrow and fell off his horse, hindering the breakthrough of the soldiers behind him, so that the warrior monks could regather, at this time, Lin Baohu roared, brandished an iron rod and rushed up, more than a dozen warrior monks surrounded him, Lin Baohu was red-eyed, and the iron rod flew and beat randomly.
Li Zhen took off his bow and arrows without hesitation, turned around and opened his bow to shoot, and powerful wolf tooth arrows shot towards the warrior monk like beads.
The first arrow pierced the head of a warrior monk, and he was stabbing his sword at Lin Baohu's warhorse, the long arrow entering his temple, the tip of the arrow peeking through the other ear.
The second arrow pierced the neck of one of the attacking monks, who clutched his neck and fell so hard that he didn't even scream.
The third arrow
Li Zhen drew arrows from the quiver, opened his bow and set up arrows, and shot loosely, like flowing water, just for a moment, fifteen arrows shot out like meteors catching the moon, arrows killed the enemy, and corpses were piled up all over the official road.
The warrior monks were frightened by Li Zhen's magic arrows and retreated one after another, and the seven or eight internal guard soldiers behind seized the opportunity and rushed out of the encirclement in one go.
Li Zhen turned his horse's head and galloped, leading more than a dozen internal guard soldiers to gradually run away
Everyone returned to the office of Quanshanfang, today is the second day of the first month, the office is the chief bookkeeper Yang Xin on duty, he originally just came to the office to take a look, but he did not expect to encounter the internal guard ambush incident, many internal guard soldiers were injured, covered in blood, even Li Zhen was covered with blood.
"What's going on?" Yang Xin rushed up, his voice changing in fright.
"Please ask us to have a healer. ”
Li Zhen instructed him again: "Don't go out and make a public announcement about this matter." ”
Yang Xin nodded repeatedly, turned around and rushed out, and everyone sat down in the lobby tiredly, tore off their clothes, washed their wounds with wine, and then wrapped them with wound medicine.
A short time later, a nearby medic arrived with two medicine boys and hurriedly treated several seriously injured soldiers.
Li Zhen is leg was hit by a sword, cutting a three-inch-long opening, fortunately, the wound was not deep, the blood had already coagulated, he also used wine to clean the wound slightly, the severe pain made the muscles on his face twitch, and then used the wound medicine given to him by Di Yan to apply it to the wound, and suddenly a cool meaning came.
Compared to the pain caused by the sword wound, the loss caused by this ambush made him feel furious, and he lost four internal guard soldiers, and at the same time, what puzzled him was how Xue Huaiyi knew that he had left the city to go to Baoguo Temple to arrange the ambush so accurately.
Of course, he can't be hastily reported that someone inside him has a message, after all, going to Baoguo Temple to find Master Zhiguang was his own temporary idea last night, he didn't even tell Zhao Qiuniang, when he came out this morning, the dozen or so internal guard soldiers who followed him didn't know where to go in advance?
Even if the monks of Baoguo Temple sent a message to Xue Huaiyi with flying pigeons, they didn't have time to rush over.
After thinking about it, Li Zhen felt that there was only one possibility, there were Xue Huaiyi's spies at the city gate, or there were his people in the army guarding the city, and they immediately notified Xue Huaiyi when they went out of the city, and Xue Huaiyi's warrior monks were ambushed near the city gate, only in this way could Xue Huaiyi have time to deploy an ambush.
At this time, there was a ring sound outside the door, several internal guard soldiers stood up one after another, Li Zhen turned around, and saw more than a dozen palace maids walking in quickly with Shangguan Wan'er in their arms
