Chapter 9: The Golden Eagle Gives Lotus (1)

In the early morning of the next day, the snow overnight did not mean to stop, and the guards at the main gate of Qu Tan Palace swept away the snow in front of the gate before they could open the palace gate.

The guards guarding the gate were really like the iron waves, but at the palace gate, Wen Qiqi left a personal soldier of Ren Dongben (that is, the head of a thousand households) to guard here. After getting up early, he ordered the soldiers to sweep away the snow and open the palace gate as soon as possible, and he asked the imperial kitchen to cook a pot of hot mutton soup and drink it before he was satisfied to come over to inspect.

When he climbed up the tower through the deep snow, he saw several guards looking at each other, and then he scolded a few words, but the sergeants ignored his reprimand and beckoned him to pass.

Dongben scolded and walked over, looked in the direction pointed by the sergeant, and couldn't help but be surprised, he was Dongben, this kind of confession is extremely real.

I saw that he was meditating on the square in front of Qu Tan Palace with his knees crossed, and two Han people were sitting next to him in turn. couldn't help but be surprised, and after thinking for a long time, he hurriedly called the sergeant to invite Gangla Ruben, who was camped in the east of the city, to come over. This Gangla Ruben (such as the appearance of the commander-in-chief of the military) is the highest military governor in Tibet, of course, he also has an identity, that is, Wen Qiqi's wife and brother.

As a participant in this rebellion, Gangla naturally knew where to go, and after listening to the sergeant's report, he would be suspicious. Thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his heart, he finally thought in his heart: Even if he escapes, can't I arrest him, so I will kill Qu Tan Palace with all my elite soldiers.

When Gangla arrived with his troops, the people in the entire Michuan City also heard about it, and the long-missing servants were meditating in front of Qutan Palace, and they all went to watch and worship.

Gangla's soldiers were a little overwhelmed when they saw that the square was full of people, and Gangla was ruthless, and secretly ordered several soldiers with excellent martial arts skills to take off their military clothes and put on people's clothes, and let them go and capture the soldiers. A few sergeants took a few steps, and Gangla said unsteadily: "If you really can't do it, you will kill it directly, and you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."

Several sergeants were overjoyed, thinking that such a good thing could not allow others to steal the merits, so they rushed to the battle.

Although he and Tie Lang and Hua Yuwu pretended to meditate, their eyes did not stop looking at the changes around them for a moment. When a few sergeants rushed out, they just said to Tie Lang and the two: "The time is almost right, if Gangla is desperate and the soldiers are in chaos, even if we get out, the people will suffer."

Tie Lang looked at the few sergeants who rushed up and said, "You first look at how a few sergeants are punished by heaven."

As soon as the words fell, several sergeants who rushed to the front of the man were all stunned, and knelt in front of him with his knife and gun.

Seeing the great joy, he jumped up, looked around at the people around him, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Qiqi disobeys the will of heaven and intends to rebel, and those who follow him will be punished by heaven."

The people who were watching had already stood up, kneeling down in unison, and saying words of blessing to Zangpu.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Gangla raised the command flag in his hand to urge the sergeants to come together, and these sergeants trembled and moved forward when they saw the flag waving like Ben Shuai. These sergeants were extremely conflicted in their hearts, not afraid of being cut off by their heads, but also afraid of being punished by God. It wasn't until Gangla slashed the two retreating sergeants with his sword that they gathered around in terror.

At this moment, the arm of the man shouted against the snowflakes in the sky: "May God bless my people forever" Everyone heard a birdsong that resounded through the sky, and then saw a huge bird falling into the sky, and when it reached the head of the man, it hovered and landed on the arm of the man.

All the soldiers were surprised, was this a messenger sent from heaven? Then they smelled the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and when they looked closely, the golden eagle was handing over a number of snow lotus flowers in its mouth to the girl.

There was a clanging sound of throwing guns and throwing knives, and the sergeants who were driven by Gangla all knelt on the ground reverently, and Gangla, who was still waving his knife just now, was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and threw the long knife in his hand with a clang, and also knelt in the snow.

The next thing is extremely simple, Tie Lang and Hua Yuwu escorted them into Qu Tan Palace, the people and soldiers kneeling outside the palace have not left until noon, this is the closest they have come to God, the messenger of God hovered above their heads, the initial fear turned into a peace that completely depended on God, for God, they were willing to use their lives and blood to wash away their sins and mistakes, they were willing to obey God.

At noon, Shao Xiaofei also came back from Qingtang, followed by the return of more than 2,000 elite soldiers of the guard Qinling Zanzhuo, this Qinling Zanzhuo is said to be the descendant of the Lun Qinling who gave the Tang general a headache for decades, after the suicide of the Lun Qinling, the tribe declined, to the generation of Qinling Zanzhuo, has been reduced to a serf, by chance, was selected as a guard, Qinling Zanzhuo sword and horse martial arts, and good at training, good at decision-making, so he entrusted his two sons to him.

After last night's discussion, he felt that in order to effectively control the situation, he still needed his most trusted person to take over the army, so he asked Shao Xiaofei to bring a token to Qingtang to recall his troops. Originally, the distance was not very far, but this Qinling Zanzhuo was extremely cautious, and more than 2,000 elite soldiers were divided into seven places by him, and it took two hours to gather only the sergeants.

On the tower of Qutan Palace, he gave an order in front of the people and soldiers of the city: "Let Qinling Zanzhuo be the same, take over the Tubo army, arrest Gangla and put him in prison, and wait for Wen Kuiqi to return to the case, and then judge it by God, and order Qinling Zanzhuo to lead elite soldiers to eliminate Wen Kuiqi."

After receiving the order, Qinling Zanzhuo went straight to lift Gangla like a chicken, threw it on the ground, and ordered someone to tie it up, and then turned to the sergeant who was kneeling on the ground and trembling like chaff: "Wen Qiqi has committed a crime, and he is against the gods, and he is willing to follow me to kill the traitor, and he will go with me."

Qinling Zanzhuo put these soldiers into a column before calling the deputy general and said: "You take my troops to protect my lord in Miaochuan, if there is an accident, you must fight to the death, you can't win the battle to the death, you can retreat to Qingtang, if my lord is lost, you look to see me"

When the deputy general saw that Qinling Zanzhuo wanted to take these soldiers alone to capture Wen Qiqi, he couldn't help but exclaim: "If there is an accident like Lord Ben, this is a soldier who may not surrender, if there is an accident such as Lord Ben, how to deal with it, it is better to divide half of the troops to go, or I will bring these soldiers to go."

Qinling Zanzhuo said: "Oh, the gods and men are blessed, and the first harvest of the current soldiers is a good opportunity to return to the heart, if I don't use him and so on, but cause the soldiers to be uneasy, don't say more, you take good care of my lord and don't slack off."

After the arrangements were made properly, Qinling Zanzhuo went to resign and took the newly recruited sergeants back to the camp to reassemble, and sent troops to search for Wen Qiqi early the next morning.

Hua Yuwu looked at Qinling Zanzhuo's bearing on the city tower and couldn't help but praise: "This general, brave and loyal, is a good general" but compared him with Yang Tianluo in his heart.

Seeing that his own soldiers had taken over the post of Qu Tan Palace, he got up and entered the palace, holding Tie Lang and Hua Yuwu with his left and right hands respectively, followed by his two sons, and he took two steps before he remembered, and ordered the guards to go to the inn to pick up Tong Li and others.

After passing the front hall, he saw Bai Ma kneeling alone under the steps of the entrance of the hall, hanging his head and weeping. He stepped forward and sighed: "If it weren't for a few heroes to save me, I would not be able to protect myself, but fortunately, God bless me, I know all the suffering you have suffered, and I don't want to cry anymore."
