An hour later, the noisy Jincheng Temple finally returned to quiet.

The temple was full of fire, and the watchtower of the stone wall was also full of soldiers wearing gowns with the words "Haiphong".

In the main hall, Qin Lie and the others were arranging where to cut down trees and bamboos the next day to strengthen the surrounding defenses of Jincheng Temple.

Zhou Bi paced to the side of the trembling abbot and said with a smile: "Master, we are temporarily stationed here, absolutely no crime, as long as the master and the monks in the temple keep to themselves, wait for me to wait for something, naturally save you and others unscathed." ”

The abbot looked outside the main hall, the door of the granary was wide open, and these officers and soldiers were like bandits, laughing and carrying bags of grain from the warehouse, and at this moment, his heart was broken.

Is this Qiu Wu guilty?

Can I still believe what you say is unscathed?

These grains and materials are the result of the painstaking management of successive generations over the past hundred years.

That's it......

The abbot wanted to cry without tears and said, "This lord, since you are an official soldier, why do you want to embarrass me and other monks? Forget about locking us up together, and send troops to guard us, is this using us as thieves? ”

Zhou Bi said with a smile: "The battle is dangerous, and I am also worried that the monks in the temple will be disturbed, so I sent troops to protect you and others, how can I talk about detaining you?" ”

When the abbot heard this, he knew that he could not talk about this person, so he simply closed his eyes and protested with silence.

Seeing this, Zhou Bi smiled and said: "Come on, go, lock the abbot and the monks together, take care of them carefully, don't let one run away!" ”

When the two soldiers outside the door heard this, they turned around and intervened and said yes, and then they walked in fiercely, twisting the abbot's arm and leaving.

How could the abbot have ever been treated so rudely?

While being forced to walk out, he said loudly: "I'm going to the Yingzhou Military Preparation Road Yamen to sue you, and I'm going to the Nanjing Military Department to sue you!" ”

His voice attracted the sideways glances of Qin Lie and the others in the hall who were discussing defense.

Qin Lie said lightly: "Go to someone, block his mouth for me, and give him something to eat when he doesn't call!" ”

Hearing this, the knife smiled and said, "I'll go, I like to tease these bald asses the most!" ”

After saying that, he walked out of the hall with a cruel smile.

Seeing this, Xiao Er said worriedly: "Third brother, don't embarrass the monks in the temple, otherwise these people will really go to sue at that time, and the son's face will not look good!" ”

Qin Lie was still very polite to Xiao Er, and said patiently: "Don't worry, I just got the orders of the son, the thieves in Hefei City all believe in the lifeless old mother, and they are inextricably linked with these bald donkeys, the son said in the letter, when you meet a monk, don't be polite, win the battle first, and then talk about it, and he will deal with other things!" ”

Hearing that Xu He had already made arrangements, Xiao Er naturally didn't say much.

However, Qin Lie said: "You went to Zongyang today, did you see Master Zhang?" ”

Xiao Er nodded: "I have already handed over the letter from the son to Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang said, the situation is tense now, the rebels of Guichi, a while ago, crossed the river a few days a day, but recently they have had a lot of peace, but the soldiers and horses in Zongyang are tired, and the consumption of grain and grass is even greater, so there is no way to support us for the time being!" ”

"However, Master Zhang still squeezed out a hundred stones of grain and two hundred pieces of dried fish for me to bring back!"

Qin Lie nodded, Guichi fell, Zhang Jingxian even lost his station, in this case, he could support so many things, Qin Lie was very surprised, he didn't think about what he could get from him.

At this time, Zhou Bi said: "Little Er, Lord Zhang told you that the situation in Zongyang has been very quiet recently?" ”

Xiao Er nodded: "That's right, it's very urgent to attack Zongyang after the anti-thief year, but now it has been four or five days since I crossed the river." ”

Zongyang and Guichi face each other across the river, Zongyang is in the north, belongs to Anqing Mansion; Guichi is in the south and belongs to Chizhou Prefecture.

Anqing is a bit strange in this place, and the scope of authority and responsibility of administrative divisions is a bit vague.

On the one hand, this is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, but within the authority of Jiangxi Jiujiang Bingbei Province, which is stationed in Jiujiang, it can also govern Anqing.

Therefore, Zhang Jingxian's position of Huining Chi Taibing Beidao not only cannot govern Anqing Mansion within the scope of his authority, but also does not even have the power of a military preparation from other provinces in Anqing.

Today, to a certain extent, he actually has a bit of a parasitic meaning.

In this case, he can also support the supplies of the coastal defense battalion, it can be said that Lao Zhang has done his best.

However, fortunately, Jincheng Temple is a big dog, and the food and grass problem of the Haiphong camp does not need to be considered for the time being.

But Zhou Bi said worriedly: "It seems that the thieves in Hefei will soon go south!" ”

Qin Lie nodded and said, "That's right, counting the time, these people should be almost ready." ”

"That's right!" Qin Lie said, "Today, we were rushed to Jincheng by the people of Lengshui Pass, why aren't you worried and happy?" Is there any other reason besides this Jincheng Temple? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became angry.

Thirteen scolded: "Raised by dog food, these people stared us to the north and shrank ourselves in the cold water pass. The thieves in Hefei are going south, and we are the first to bear the brunt. ”

"That's right, the thieves in Hefei, to say the least, there are tens of thousands of people, really going south, what should we do? A thousand people are not enough! ”

"Damn, the commander doesn't look down on us at all? No one else looks down on us, and we still go up to the pole to help, which is really indebted! ”

For a time, Hailing accents, Huzhou accents, and Wuxi accents were noisy in the hall.

Zhou Bi suddenly smiled and said: "Zaiyan, brothers, don't worry, I said, it's a good thing to come to Jincheng, as for why, you see!" ”

Zhou Bi took out a pen and paper, studied the ink, and drew a picture on the paper.

In the northernmost place, he drew a circle, and then said to the crowd: "This is Hefei!" ”

Then he drew a circle on the south side and said, "This is the cold water pass!" ”

At this time, he nodded between the two: "This is our Golden Walled City." ”

Zhou Bi drew a connecting line between Hefei and Lengshuiguan, which happened to avoid the Jincheng Wall.

Qin Lie was stunned and said, "This is the official road, just bypassing the Golden City Walled?" ”

Zhou Bi smiled: "That's right, otherwise why would these monks choose to cultivate here?" Why did the criminal champion choose to study here? It's all because it's secluded, and there are only one or two villages! ”

Qin Lie said with a smile: "Thieves won't come to this kind of place, or rather, if thieves come, they're just a small team!" ”

Zhou Bi smiled and nodded.

At this time, Thirteen said: "I'm afraid this won't work, Secretary Zhou, I'm waiting to shrink in this poor country, and I'm really not afraid of the anti-thieves in Hefei attacking, but the task of Gongzi and others is to hold the cold water pass!" ”

Zhou Bi smiled mysteriously, and when he saw the knife outside coming back, he asked the knife, "How is it?" ”

"Arrange for the brothers to pretend to change the guard for dinner, and sure enough, Secretary Zhou, you are not bad, some of these monks have sneaked away!"

Zhou Bi was surprised when he heard this: "How did you slip away?" The watchtower is full of our people! ”

"There are tunnels in the rockery in the backyard!"

Thirteen was confused: "No, what are you talking about?" ”
