Chapter Forty-Seven: The White Lotus Sect Appears
Dengju City, military camp, inside Han Cheng barracks.
At this time, Han Cheng looked at the Jinyi Guard who came to report in front of him, his face was also gloomy for a while, and he thought that the White Lotus Sect was nonsense from adults. Unexpectedly, after his investigation these days, he really found some traces of the White Lotus Sect, which gave Han Cheng a headache.
The little soldier respectfully asked, "My lord, what should we do next?" ”
After hearing this, Han Cheng sneered. "What to do? How do I know what to do? Let's wait for the adults to come back and make a decision. ”
It's not that he's afraid, but now that the entire Dengzhou City defense is empty, Qi Zuoguo has gone out with most of the Dengzhou Guard, and now there are not many defenders in the city, plus his Jinyi Guard and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, it is not worth a thousand people.
Han Cheng hurriedly asked the brocade guard to go to Yang Zhen to discuss, after all, only Yang Zhen could make a decision now.
In the barracks, the light of the oil lamp swayed left and right with the wind, Yang Zhen took the evidence given by Han Cheng, and after reading it, he instantly gasped, his own governance place really had the White Lotus Sect.
Yang Zhen stared at the evidence in his hand for a long time, raised his head, sighed, and asked a little weakly, "What is Lord Han going to do?" ”
After Han Cheng heard this, he suddenly felt helpless, and thought to himself: "You are the boss now, you can't make up your mind, how can I make a decision with a deputy thousand households." ”
Han Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I think we should strengthen our vigilance against the granary to prevent it from being destroyed by the thieves of the White Lotus Sect, otherwise it may really lead to a civil uprising." The rest will wait for Lord Zhang and Lord Qi to come back, and then make a decision."
After Yang Zhen heard this, he also nodded again and again, saying that this matter was under Han Cheng's full command, and he would definitely support him.
After finishing speaking, Yang Zhen left the barracks in shock, leaving Han Cheng alone and stunned.
Han Cheng looked at Yang Zhen who was leaving, and he had to sigh helplessly, and muttered: "Alas, it seems that you can only rely on yourself, I hope those thieves can be less bold." ”
Then he called his subordinates and asked him to take the Jinyi Guard and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to guard the granary in person, and he couldn't trust anyone else.
Dengzhou City, in a hidden street, the whole street is shrouded in darkness, a man in a long robe walked to an inn, and then glanced around, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he pushed the door in, walked into the inn, and then walked straight towards the backyard.
Pushing open the backyard, there was a hole inside, compared with the darkness outside, the inside was extraordinarily bright, and the man in the long shirt showed his face, it was the Zhang family's family advocate Rulong. There was a man inside with his back to Zhang Rulong, closing his eyes and recuperating, like an old monk sitting still.
Zhang Rulong said respectfully: "Lord Dharma Protector, everyone is ready, when will you act?" ”
After hearing this, the man slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, got up and walked to Zhang Rulong's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in this matter, and when this matter is completed, I will definitely tell the sect leader and ask him to give you a liter." ”
After Zhang Rulong heard this, he immediately looked at the man gratefully, with a flattering look on his face.
It turned out that Zhang Rulong learned that Qi had gone to sea with most of the soldiers of Dengzhou Wei. He felt that if he didn't do something to come out, he would be sorry for Zhang Yun's words before, so he planned to incite a riot to make the entire Dengzhou out of control, so that the White Lotus Sect could develop followers.
Of course, the man couldn't ask for it, he has been here in Dengzhou for a few years, and he has not had any credit, and the above is already very dissatisfied with him, this time there is such a good opportunity, he made a decision right away and did it.
After the man continued to tell Zhang Rulong a few words, he waved his hand to let him go down, Zhang Rulong hurriedly said goodbye, closed the door for the man and quietly exited the room, and the man continued to close his eyes and recuperate, as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Rulong's mansion, the people of the three major families are gathering together at this time.
"Brother Rulong? Do you really want to do that? Zhao Gang asked eagerly, although he couldn't get used to seeing Zhang Yun, but he couldn't completely tear his face with him.
Wang Fu on the side was also taken aback by Zhang Rulong's thoughts, you know, burning grain and grass is a felony, how dare he?
Zhang Rulong, waving his hand, said with a dark smile: "Isn't this what the White Lotus Sect did?" What does it have to do with us? Master Zhang has said it, the thieves of the White Lotus Sect dared to be so bold even when Lord Zhang was there, and now that Lord Zhang is gone, it's normal to jump out. ”
After Zhao Gang heard this, he couldn't help muttering: "Is it the White Lotus Sect that did it, don't you count it in your heart?" ”
Then, Zhao Gang remembered Zhang Yun's shameless appearance when he swallowed his grain, and suddenly became angry, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Damn, do it, that Zhang Yun dares to do it, let's dare to do it too, isn't it just to burn a grain and grass?" Lao Tzu is too cold and wants to roast the fire. ”
Wang Fu was coerced by the two, and he had to join the action, and the three of them went home separately, each gathered 50 family members, and then changed into the clothes of the Dengzhou guard soldiers, and ran in the direction of the granary.
Dengzhou City, granary.
At this time, the granary can be said to be heavily guarded, there are soldiers of the Shenji Battalion standing on the high platform, and below them are all dressed in flying fish suits and equipped with embroidered spring knives Jinyi guards, Han Cheng immediately replaced all the guards with his own people after discovering the traces of the White Lotus Sect, he was afraid that some Dengzhou guards had been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect.
Outside the granary, Zhang Rulong and the three of them couldn't help frowning when they looked at the granary that was so heavily guarded.
Seeing this, Wang Fu didn't want to be an enemy of Zhang Yun, so he immediately jumped out.
"Forget it, you see that this place is so heavily guarded, and it is obviously guarded, and it is not enough for others to stuff their teeth when we go in."
Zhao Gang also muttered in his heart, and turned his head to Zhang Rulong with an inquiring look.
Zhang Rulong chuckled lightly, and sent a signal to the mountain behind, and then saw a large number of people, Ulaladi walked out of the mountain, there were about a few hundred people, it was the traitor of the White Lotus Sect, poor Zhao Gang was taken by Zhang Rulong on the thief ship, but he didn't know it.
Then, Zhang Yun looked at Zhao Gang and Wang Fu and asked with a chuckle, "How is it now?" ”
Zhao Gang hurriedly asked Zhang Rulong: "Brother Rulong, who are these people?" Why do you look so raw? ”
After Zhang Rulong heard this, he casually found a reason and prevaricated.
Then, Zhang Rulong took the soldiers dressed as Dengzhou Wei and began to set off towards the granary.
In the granary, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion saw Zhang Rulong and others at a glance, and said to a general flag: "My lord, I found a group of people dressed as Dengzhou Wei soldiers approaching us. ”
After hearing this, the general flag also hurriedly came out to check, and sure enough, he saw a group of Dengzhou guards approaching him. At this time, he couldn't help muttering: "Didn't you say that we will guard this granary in the future?" What are they doing here? ”
Then, I didn't care about thinking about why, so I had to walk up to the high platform and shout to the people who had already come to the warehouse gate: "Please go back, Lord Han has already told Lord Yang that the current granary is guarded by our brothers from the Jinyi Guard and the Shenji Battalion." ”
When Zhang Rulong heard this, he glanced at a small soldier beside him, and the little soldier smiled all over his face, "Brother, we just received a notice from Lord Han to let us guard the granary with you." ”
When the general flag heard this, the vigilance in his heart weakened a little. However, he did not open the door, and continued to shout: "Do you have official documents? ”
The little soldier smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you open the door first, and I'll show you." ”
When the general flag heard that there was an official document, he immediately opened a small opening, walked to the outside of the granary with two personal soldiers, and asked the little soldier, "Where is the official document?" ”
The soldier smiled, groping for something in his arms, and finally he shouted, "Where is this?" Then he took out his dagger and stabbed it at the waist of the flag. Then, the others swarmed up the barn door.
The general flag was succeeded by his sneak attack, and shouted with all his strength: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”
Seeing this, the soldiers in the warehouse hurriedly closed the door, and Zhang Rulong was also annoyed when he saw that he almost succeeded.
Then, he had to attack, he beckoned, let people take out a long log, and began to ram the city gate frantically, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the wall shot wildly, and began to harvest the lives of the thieves below.
However, the reloading speed of the firebolt was too slow, and the gate where the thieves hit was gradually cracking.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the city gate should fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Rulong was overjoyed and shouted: "Brothers, don't leave a single living mouth." Then, hundreds of people rushed in together, although the Jinyi Guard was able to reach more than one, but the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had no firearms, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
For a time, a bloody battle broke out in the entire granary, and the soldiers of Jinyiwei were all heroes, taking out long knives, slashing left and right, killing thieves who did not dare to get close, and the soldiers of Jinyiwei also learned the method of joint attack, a group of five, so that the thieves could not take advantage of it.
After the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were approached, they had no firearms, so they had to pick up their spears and start hand-to-hand combat with the thieves.
Zhao Gang on the side saw this scene and couldn't help but regret in his heart: "This time I got on Zhang Rulong's thief ship." ”
Zhang Rulong watched quietly, enjoying this grand performance, and applauded from time to time.
At this time, a person came to report to Zhang Rulongyu: "Master Zhang Xiang, the matter is almost over. ”
Zhao Gang on the side heard this, and was suddenly struck by lightning, and asked tremblingly: "Brother Rulong, are you a member of the White Lotus Sect?" ”
Zhang Rulong turned his head sideways, looked at Zhao Gang with a sneer, and did not speak.
Zhao Gang pulled out his long sword, put it directly on Zhang Rulong's neck, and shouted angrily: "Stop me, if you don't stop, I'll kill him." ”
Zhao Gang's wife was killed by the White Lotus Sect, so he hated the White Lotus Sect, and after learning that Zhang Rulong was actually the White Lotus Sect, he immediately turned his face with him, and then held him hostage, and took his family and Jinyiwei to stand in the same camp.
Zhang Rulong saw that Zhao Gang was a little paralyzed, and hit Zhao Gang with an elbow on his abdomen, taking the opportunity to break free.
Seeing this, Wang Fu also hurriedly followed Zhao Gang's pace, if he turned against the water now, maybe he wouldn't be able to affect his family, and if he went all the way to the dark, maybe the whole family would die.
After Jinyiwei had Wang Fu and Zhao Gang joining, the pressure was greatly reduced.
Dengzhou Wei, military camp.
"What, someone attacked the granary?"
Han Cheng heard the report of the people, screamed and slapped the table, and then hurriedly led people to the granary to support.
Zhang Rulong here, seeing that he couldn't take these brocade guards, had to give up.
Zhang Rulong greeted people, brought torches to greet the place where the grain was stored, and in an instant, the entire granary was on fire.
Han Cheng, who was walking halfway, looked at the firelight, and suddenly sat on the ground in shock, shouting, "It's over, it's all over!" ”
Then, get people to speed up.
By the time he arrived, Zhang Rulong and the others had already retreated, leaving only Zhao Gang and the others with Jinyi Wei to fight the fire.
