Xiao Ming turned his head to look at him: "Who are you?" ”

"In Xia Qiantang County, the head of the army is the head of Luo Wen Dingbang", there was a clanging in his hand, and he pointed back, "This is the border inspection of the Western Army, the new judge of Hangzhou Garrison Daojing, Lord Yang Zhenyang"

From behind, another person came up, with arrow sleeves tied to the waist and a tight-fitting shirt, although he was in prison, his eyes were blazing.

Xiao Ming stretched out his hand, "Bang!" Two voices tore off the chains on the hands of the two, the handcuffs were very dead, it seemed that they needed to find Gu Shouzhen to open them for them, then Yang Zhen arched his hand: "Thank you!" ”

shook the wooden bar of the cell door, pushed it gently, and broke off in response, Xiao Ming is now very confident in his ability, but he is not used to mastering it.

"Why were you arrested, do you also suspect that someone has rebelled?" Xiao Ming asked as he did it.

"It's a long story, I'll wait until I get out of here."

Yang Zhen flashed out and said softly, this person's tone was low, and he naturally had a sense of majesty, as if he had been an official for a long time.

The three of them tiptoed out of the cellar rockery, the surroundings were very quiet, obviously the people in the hall had already rested, and the three of them hid behind the firewood room except for the corner door, Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something.

"Do you have anything on you that ignites fire?"

Yang Zhen nodded, "I have a way, the two of you wait for me" After speaking, he turned around and slipped into the firewood room, and came back after a while, saying to Xiao Ming and Luo Wen: "Okay, let's leave quickly"

Xiao Ming secretly sighed that Yang Zhen had a good brain, and led the two to the wall, both of them were very skilled, jumped up and grabbed the edge of the wall and turned out, but when they saw Xiao Ming landing lightly, their eyes still showed admiration.

Seeing the direction, the three of them left quickly, and after running far away, they turned around and looked at the direction of the scripture hall, faint red light and smoke and dust rising, Xiao Ming did not dare to delay, and led the two of them to quickly run towards Hangzhou City.

"Alas! I am a good young man in the new era, who has always kept to himself, and now that I have come to this era, I have done all the evil things of killing people and setting fires, how can I get it in the future! Xiao Ming thought with a sigh of relief.

The city gate of Hangzhou City was closed at night, Yang Zhen stepped forward to shout, and the soldiers in the city naturally knew Judge Yang, and opened the city gate to take the three into the city.

"Brother Xiao, this official has been tracking the Demon Sect's Bright Left Envoy Wang Yin all the way, and I don't want to be ambushed, but I am fortunate to be rescued by Brother Xiao today, I am grateful! Please accept Yang's worship."

"This can't be done," Xiao Ming hurriedly stopped.

"Yes, I also tracked the demon sect demon all the way, from Qiantang to here, just found the demon sect altar here, was captured, today fortunately my brother rescued me, I deserve to be worshipped!" On the side, Rowan also thanked him.

"Today, I learned that the demon rebelled, and I have to remind the government, how about Brother Xiao accompany us to meet the garrison and the prefect? Yang Zhen looked at Xiao Mingdao.

"That's right, Brother Xiao is very skilled, and this time he has saved people with merit, we will definitely ask for merit and recommendation for you, and my brother's future must be limitless!"

When Xiao Ming heard this, he had to deal with the government, and his heart was sudden, and he hurriedly excused himself: "I also did it by accident this time, and I can't talk about it, besides, I still have important things to do, so I can't delay, so I won't accompany the two of you to report the news, this group of demons endangers the people and does a lot of evil, I hope you don't let them go." ”

Luo Yang and the two are both martial artists, and when they saw Xiao Ming's resignation, they were not reluctant, but they had already accepted Xiao Ming's love in their hearts, and Xiao Ming had already told them the news he overheard on the road just now. Due to the urgency of the situation, the two didn't say much, and hugged their fists at Xiao Ming: "There will be a period later" and hurried away.

After Xiao Ming saw the two of them leaving, he turned around and walked towards Gu Shouzhen's refining workshop, thinking about what the two of them said just now, "Demon Sect!" Isn't that "Mingjiao"? There is a special description in Old Man Jin's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and Xiao Ming remembered it vividly when he read the novel.

"Mingjiao originated from Persia, its real name is Manichaeism, and it was introduced to Middle-earth in the first year after Emperor Wuzong of Tang, when the Persians came to the dynasty with the "Three Sects Sutra" of Mingjiao, and the Chinese began to learn this classic. On June 29, the third year of the Tang calendar, Chang'an Luoyang Jianmingjiao Temple "Dayun Guangming Temple". Since then, Taiyuan, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Hongzhou, Yuezhou and other important towns have built Dayun Guangming Temple. In the third year of Huichang, the imperial court ordered the killing of Mingjiao, and the power of Mingjiao declined. Since then, Mingjiao has become a secret church that has been banned and destroyed by the government in all dynasties. In order to survive, Mingjiao acted secretly, and finally the word "Mo" in Manichaeism was changed to the word "demon", and the world called it the demon religion. ”

And as it is said in the book, the first leader of Mingjiao is Fang La, could it be that the leader in the mouth of the left envoy is referring to Fang La? By the way, in the winter of 1120 A.D., it seems that it was the time of the peasant uprising in Fangla.

"Holy! How did I run into such a mess! Xiao Ming shook his head and sighed.

He actually doesn't care about any peasant uprisings, the people in Mingjiao told in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" are all chivalrous people, but all the things he has experienced have greatly changed Xiao Ming's view of Mingjiao, this group of people is sneaky, secretly trying to rebel, that Gou Juling is obviously also a person in Mingjiao, injecting strange drugs into himself, almost turning himself into a monster, this group of people is definitely not a good bird.

"Fuck it!" Xiao Ming decided not to participate in this matter, what he was concerned about was the gold in the cellar of the secret room, which was dozens of kilograms of gold! Thinking of those yellow things, he couldn't help but laugh, Xiao Ming now felt like a big money fan.

……

With the sound of slamming the door, Gu Shouzhen hurriedly opened the courtyard door with her clothes on.

"Brother Xiao Ming, why are you! How did you get back? ”

Xiao Ming pulled Gu Shouzhen into the room and said to him straight to the point: "Brother Gu, do you want to get rich?" ”

"What makes a fortune? Brother Xiao Ming, what are you talking about? Seeing Xiao Ming's hurried appearance, Gu Shouzhen was very puzzled.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Xiao Ming pulled Gu Shouzhen over and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu, there is a fortune given to you, don't you want to expand the business of the refinery?" Don't you have the funds to buy good ore and coal from Yanzhou? Hehe, it's all solved for you. ”

"Huh? Is there such a good thing? Gu Shouzhen will be skeptical.

Xiao Ming didn't explain much, he smiled, grabbed a handful of gold leaves from his arms and put them in Gu Shouzhen's hand.

"Ahh This is the finest purple willow leaf gold, brother, where did you get it? Gu Shouzhen's eyes also lit up, and she asked excitedly.

"Without further ado, you hurry up and get ready, we're going to leave soon."

Gu Shouzhen admired this young man very much, not only did he understand iron-smelting technology, but he was also knowledgeable, he usually always had amazing words, which benefited him a lot, and this time he had such a high purity of gold leaves to take out, he said, it must be a good thing, Gu Shouzhen chose to believe Xiao Ming unconditionally this time.

Xiao Ming climbed on the roof, looked around, sure enough, out of his judgment, less than two watches, a large number of torches and long dragons from the government and garrison mansion, Hangzhou Mansion has three thousand Xiang troops, plus Xiang Yong and each class to catch fast officials, etc., there are about 5,000 people and horses, this time more than half of them were sent out, for a time the lantern torches illuminated the city of Hangzhou, and there was a noisy sound of chickens and dogs barking everywhere.

The soldiers and horses were divided into several roads, respectively to Lin'an, Jiande, Jiaxing, Pingjiang and other directions, each road was about five or six hundred people, and the largest road had about eight hundred people, straight to the direction of Jingtang.

Seeing the large group of people and horses out of the city gate, Xiao Ming beckoned Gu Shouzhen and drove the carriage he prepared out of the courtyard gate. All the way to the south, soon out of the south gate, and then before is the Qiantang River ferry, where there are officers and soldiers guarding, Xiao Ming instructed Gu Shouzhen to turn the carriage to the west, the familiarity of the terrain comes from Xiao Ming's later familiarity with the city of Hangzhou. Although there are great changes here, but the original ruins of the old ancient city wall, Xiao Ming is very clear, judging which direction he knows, the south gate of Hangzhou City is generally not closed, there are many carriages that go out of the city to dump domestic garbage at night, and there are a large number of vegetables, fruits and seafood aquatic products to be transported into Hangzhou City from the Qiantang River ferry, so the south gate of the city is not closed.

Along the river bank all the way to the west, turning a dense forest, on the pipeline, Xiao Ming remembered the road, and commanded Gu Shouzhen to drive the carriage to the back of the hillside of the scripture hall to stop, there was already a raging fire in front, and faint people shouted the sound of horses neighing.

Xiao Ming gestured, asked Gu Shouzhen to follow him, secretly climbed up from the back of the hill, and crouched down on the top of the slope to observe.

The original Shanming Sutra Hall is now in ruins, and the surrounding rooms are still on fire, and there are more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and there is a strong smell of blood in the air in addition to smoke and dust.

The front hall and the back hall were all burned down, and the wall near the firewood room was burned down, and I don't know if it was caused by the arson, and there was a mess everywhere, and the officers and soldiers may have smashed the wall everywhere and rushed in, and the battle didn't last long, and now it is the stage of sweeping up.

Xiao Ming was delaying on the road, and now he was just in time to finish, and there were still captured people kneeling on the ground in the middle of the courtyard, and several people were scolding angrily, even Xiao Ming on the top of the hill could hear it.

"You dogs of the imperial court, don't be too complacent, our Mingjiao army will definitely leave no piece of armor left behind for you to kill!"

"Shut up!" A small officer next to him raised his knife and threatened.

The man kneeling on the ground was still scolding, and suddenly, with a white light, the man's head flew high, and the blood of the headless cavity sprayed like a fountain, and the little officer slowly put his knife into the sheath, and took a "phew" with a hideous face.

"You demons who have been struck by lightning have killed more than 20 of our brothers this time, and I can't wait to cut you all with a thousand knives! Damn it! No matter how bad that mouth is, this is an example! ”

The bloody scene stimulated Xiao Ming's nerves in his eyes, he only felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, secretly climbed down the top of the slope, ran to the woods below and vomited for a while, he finally understood the cold and bloody side of this era, if he didn't feel anything when he had no intention of killing people before, but now he really can't accept the scene of stumps and broken arms full of corpses.

……

waited until it was almost dawn, Gu Shouzhen had been with Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming was almost vomiting, looking at Gu Shouzhen's concerned eyes, comforting him: "It's okay, I'm used to spitting, can you go and see if they're all gone?" ”

In fact, all the officers and soldiers have been withdrawn, and no one has been left to guard them, a group of people have taken prisoners and pulled the statue back to the city to invite merit, the entire scripture hall has been destroyed, everything that can be burned has been burned, and all that is left on the ground is a pile of headless corpses, and the head has been cut off and taken away to lead the army.

Xiao Ming led Gu Shouzhen to cover his face with a face towel, and quietly slipped into the ruins, the whole place smelled of burnt meat in addition to the smell of blood, obviously someone was burned to death in the room, not to mention anything else, I couldn't stand the smell.

Xiao Ming came to the location of the secret room in the back hall, surrounded by charred ruins, and rubble clods, Xiao Ming and Gu Shouzhen brought tools in the car to the location of the secret room, and after confirming the location, the two of them threw off their arms and did it,

After a while, the entrance to the cellar was dug open, and the two of them entered the cellar, which was really good! The thing is still there, it seems that both sides are in a hurry and have not taken care of this here, or the officers and soldiers do not know this information at all.

Xiao Ming said secretly: "Cheap me, the praying mantis and cicadas are busy, and the yellow finch is only playing for money!" Ha ha! ”

Gu Shouzhen was also stunned when she saw the box full of gold, although she was still a little hesitant about whether the assets of the cult belonged to the government and the court, but when she saw that Xiao Ming didn't take it seriously at all, she chose to obey Xiao Ming's arrangement.

The two of them put a few boxes of gold, silver, and iron money into the carriage, and when the sky was not bright and the surrounding villagers did not know what was going on, they rushed over to see the excitement, and drove the carriage back to the city secretly.
