"What are you doing, third child?"

"Brother Gao, we are not fools, you have been exposed, how did you still come here to meet? It's a mutiny. ”

Gao Huairong was indignant and shouted: "My brain, where have I been exposed, only your brain is sick and shot at me, how have I ever been exposed?" ”

When Gao Huairong said this, he hesitantly put away the knife, they really didn't have any evidence that Gao Huairong was discovered, just out of caution, they wanted to test Gao Huairong.

"Brother Gao, don't be surprised, there was a big defeat today, and now the morale is low, we have to be cautious."

Gao Huairong's status in the cottage is obviously not low, and at this time, he was furious and scolded the connector like scolding his subordinates: "You have water in your brains, right, you started fighting without seeing it clearly, and they all said that it is good for you to ambush, and it is good to ambush, but you can't hold your breath, such a great opportunity is wasted." ”

The man known as the third child complained: "It's good to run fast today, what kind of weapons are they holding in their hands, it's the same as thunder, and there are people all over the mountains behind them, and there are people in ambush on the other side, and you didn't hint at it, brother." ”

Seeing that the other party still meant something, Gao Huairong said: "You doubt me, isn't it, I was also kept in the dark, it's all to blame on that Yang Yichen, this old boy went back to move the rescuers, I don't know, otherwise how can that brainless King of Jin have this kind of city, as for the weapons they brought, I really don't know, if I know, can I not say it?" ”

Gao Huairong saw that the other party still didn't believe it, so he simply picked up the knife: "Come on, come on, you don't believe you, this will scratch me, what have I done for the cottage in the past year, haven't you seen it or what's wrong?" ”

The third child was relieved a lot, Gao Huairong had indeed made a great contribution to the cottage this year, and as long as he was not exposed, he had no reason to object, so he apologized to Gao Huairong: "Brother Gao, don't mind, it's all for safety." ”

"Really, I doubt it."

"Senior brother, how is the situation now?"

"I won the battle, I was happy, I couldn't wait to let people write an excerpt to quickly send it back to the capital, and invite the emperor to take credit, this King Jin is a wine bag and rice bag, I specially asked for an order to come out as a scout, and now he trusts me very much."

"That's good, brother, what should we do now?"

"The King of Jin still wants to hit our mountain, and now there are many of them, if we are hard and unfavorable head-on, so retreat from the mountain, and rely on the trap and geographical advantage to make the King of Jin know the difficulty and retreat."

The third man looked embarrassed: "Senior brother, we have broken so many people this time, and the dead are the most pious monks and soldiers who rushed to the front, and now the army of the imperial court is pressing, and the people are panicking, and when they retreat today, they have run away several times, and the sect leader and the holy woman are very angry." ”

Gao Huairong thought for a while and said, "That's it, take me to meet the two of you first, and we'll discuss it face-to-face." ”

"Brother Gao, are you okay with being away for so long?"

"That stupid boy, after I went back, I fooled them and said that I would investigate overnight, and it would be good to go back before dawn, maybe I could mix some rewards, this guy is very rich, this group of recruited villagers, one person gets 20 taels of silver, which is comparable to my year's money, and I also made some money, when the time comes, let's buy wine and eat."

The trust that has been built up for a year has played a role at this time, and Gao Huairong went up the mountain with others and went straight into the village.

The location of the Buddha Kingdom is located on the mountain, there is almost only one road on the mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the imperial court wants to exterminate them, I am afraid that the losses will be very heavy, which is also the biggest reason why they have no fear, they know that the people of the imperial court will not risk death to fight them under normal circumstances.

There is a bronze statue of the Buddha in the cottage, painted with a golden body, five meters high, and it took a lot of money to build such a large Buddha statue.

Gao Huairen arrived, and the abbot and the saint came out to greet him.

Gao Huairen's eyes fell on the saint.

She stood in the darkness of the temple, her face pale, and an elusive demonic aura between her eyebrows. Those eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, like an abyss with a mysterious light.

The nun's face is beautiful and bewitching, her red lips are slightly opened, revealing two rows of white and flawless teeth, with a smile, her facial features are well-defined, her eyebrows are curved like willow leaves, her eyes are like black jade, the bridge of her nose is high, the lines are soft, the perfect face like a porcelain doll, as if made of a fairy, she acts gracefully, her posture is noble and quiet, her every movement, as if it contains a mysterious magic, which makes people's hearts ripple, when she gently raises her hand, the flying skirt dances, as if performing a dream-like dance.

She has a snow-white fan in her hand, the fan is painted with gorgeous flowers and cranes, her fingertips attached to the fan, outline countless gorgeous dances, exude a mesmerizing fragrance, the flowers and birds in the fan seem to have life, dancing, as if telling an ancient and strange story.

Looking at such a strange and beautiful woman, Gao Huairong was like a fallen city for a while, and he couldn't form an army.

The abbot was a bald man, a monk who often accompanied the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, and was supposed to be gentle and kind, but the person in front of him was tall and mighty, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a gloomy face, a thick beard on his face, and a scar on his face that ran through his left eye, which made him doubly hideous.

Dressed in a black monk's robe, the robe was engraved with all kinds of seals and incantations, exuding a depressing and heavy atmosphere, holding the Zen staff with both hands, the muscles were tense, full of strength and majesty.

"Gao Huairong has seen Master Ci'an."

Master Ci'an smiled, and his already vicious face became even more ugly.

"General Gao, I know the situation of this day's defeat, now we have no ability to fight head-on with the imperial army, and it seems that refusing to defend the cottage is still the only way, you are the one who leads the troops to fight, but what is the best way?"

The people in the cottage are indeed stragglers, and they have little experience in how to confront the regular army of the imperial court, but Gao Huairen's arrival gave them a choice.

Gao Huairen looked at the saint with ill intentions and said, "Master Ci'an, let's go inside, and I will talk to you and the saint alone." ”

When the three of them entered the house, Gao Huairen began to speak: "Master Ci'an, the current situation, you have seen it yourself, although the King of Jin is indeed a straw bag, wine bag and rice bag, but the soldiers arranged by the emperor for him are the top, I thought that the two guards were masters, but I didn't expect that all of them were good hands in a hundred, well-equipped, and we have never seen any new weapons." ”

Master Ci'an was originally a thief on the mountain, and now he believes in the reincarnation of the Buddha, and his inner body has not changed, so he scolded his mother: "This damn little kid, if you want to use Lao Tzu's head to make a contribution, it's a big deal to fight to the death with him." ”

"Master Ci'an, don't worry, it's like this now, King Jin's purpose is obvious, he wants merit, he wants to be majestic in front of the emperor, and his people are not stupid, they won't say that they will risk their lives to go up the mountain and fight with us, they must be surrounding our way down the mountain, blocking us without supplies, and consuming us to death."

"So what are we going to do?"

Gao Huairong glanced at the holy woman: "Master Ci'an, in fact, even if this group of people outside is gone, we can develop again, the main thing is the safety of you and the holy woman, there is a secret passage on the mountain, let's spend it with the court first, that kid is very short-tempered, and he will definitely leave after spending a while, how can he hold on to the boring life in this mountain forest?" ”

"When the time comes, I will pick you up from the secret passage, first go to the place I arranged to avoid the limelight, as long as the King of Jin takes the cottage, he can show his face to the emperor, he will not be at the border for too long, wait until he leaves, let's come out again."

Master Ci'an glanced at the holy woman: "This method is not impossible. ”

"No! We must not abandon our believers, never! ”

The saint's determined look made Gao Huairong more admiring, and the saint raised her arms and shouted: "The reincarnation Buddha will bless all believers, under the light of the reincarnation Buddha, all people will be redeemed, and our believers will not leave a piece of armor that can be killed by a hundred people, and today I will pray for the blessing of the reincarnation Buddha." ”

Here I want to say that the most firm faith is the saint, the saint is not a local but a missionary from Zhuo County, sent by the headquarters.

Master Ci'an is using the belief of the reincarnation Buddha to help himself expand his power, and the holy woman is pure faith and different in nature.

It is extremely difficult to convince the Holy Maiden, and the most convincing thing for this group of believers now is actually the Holy Maiden herself, and many things will not be easy for the Holy Maiden to move forward if she does not let go.

"Your Highness, your safety is the most important thing, the Buddha of Samsara definitely doesn't want anything to happen to you, everything must take care of your body first."

Gao Huairong began to pat himself on the back.

But this flattery has no effect on the firm believer and cannot shake the heart of the saint.

"No, I will never give up on my believers."

Gao Huairong sighed helplessly and said: "I will go back today and His Royal Highness the King of Jin suggested that we surround the cottage, slowly consume, Master Ci'an, this is the best opportunity for us, if the King of Jin is really greedy for merit, we will resist desperately, and then it will only be a bunch of people on both sides, and people of the King of Jin don't care about our life or death at all, nor do they care about the life or death of the soldiers, the master is good for himself." ”

"General Gao, is there any other way?"

"I really can't think of it, this is the best way to protect ourselves at the moment, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, Master Ci'an, we still have to think about ourselves."

Master Ci'an's face was solemn, as a bandit, he could decisively and ruthlessly abandon this group of subordinates and sneak away, but now he must cooperate with Gao Huairong to escape, if he does not bring the holy maiden, Gao Huairong will not easily agree.

"General Gao, it's almost dawn, you go back first, I'll come here to persuade the saint."

……

Before dawn, Yang Guang was woken up before he could sleep well, Li Feng said in a panic: "Your Highness is not good, the rear received a message, General Yang Yichen came to the news, and the front-line scouts reported that the Turkic cavalry had appeared." ”
