Chapter 26 Wisdom and Courage 9

The three of them went out of the Wuhua Palace, and Zheng Shouwei immediately led forty soldiers to secretly bring tools to the place where the moon tribute was. www.biquge.info The three of them discussed the festival again and again, until they felt that there was no omission, and Zheng Shouwei went to order the digging of the hole again. He went to the barracks for less than a cup of tea, returned to the barracks, and said, "Brother Gu, there is no room for the slightest mistake in this matter, you should go and watch it with me." ”

Gu Yuecong nodded, Ouyang Yanjue also stood up, and said, "It's not too early, you go to the school, and I'll go see Xuanbei." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "Sect Master, make sure that the Shaolin disciples sent to Gao Jinlun are thorough. ”

Ouyang Yan said: "Xuan Bei is imprisoned, and those ten disciples are safe. ”

When I came to the school field, the red sun was sinking in the west, the snow was like a cover, and the four walls of the school field were densely covered with swords and guns, which were mottled in the afterglow. The two stood in the middle of the school field, looking at the sunset, Zheng Shouwei said: "Brother Gu, this snowy red sun, after the desert sinks in the west, tomorrow will make a comeback, once the Hero League goes out of the city, it is full of arrows, and a vicious battle is inevitable." Gu Yuecong nodded and said: "Gao Jinlun is only Liu Lei Ao's order, the attempt is not only the master of the martial arts alliance, once he wins the moon tribute, he may not take us in his eyes, and even let the hero alliance go, but once he finds out that there is a stone in the tribute box, he will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry." Zheng Shouwei said: "This surname is Gao, how many people are under him?" Gu Yue Cong said: "The Wulin League claims to be an army of 100,000, even if there is not, there must be 30,000 or 40,000, they are colluding with the Mongolian soldiers, and I don't know if the Tartars have suffered a defeat in Tongtianfu, and they will send troops to help." Zheng Shouwei's eyes widened and said: "Regardless of whether the Tartars will come or not, there are less than 4,000 people in the Hero League, and Shaolin still has to stay, this is ...... How will this battle be fought?" Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "I haven't received any message from Uncle Bai until now, and I don't know how he and Uncle Lin are prepared. Thinking that once Baiyue Gong stayed, great things could be expected, but he was relaxed, smiled slightly, and said: "Once tomorrow's thing is completed, what the Heroes League has to do is to earn time for Shaolin, and the rest has to take one step at a time." ”

At this moment, Counselor Wang led ten soldiers to the school to clear the snow, and a pawn just waved a broom, Gu Yuecong said: "Wait." Zheng Shouwei said: "Tomorrow I will load the tribute here and get on the car, and I will let them clean up first." Gu Yuecong stepped on it, the snow was up to his ankles, and said: "This snow is just to hide people's eyes and ears, and they will sweep him away." Zheng Shouwei was stunned for a moment, then understood, and ordered: "All retreat." Gu Yuecong said: "Wang Shenling, please stay." He asked: "My lord, what are the rituals for worshipping the moon and going out of the city tomorrow?" Zheng Shouwei said: "As soon as the moon tribute gets on the car, the soldiers in the city all kneel facing the east, and bow three times. Gu Yuecong said: "Is there anything else?" Zheng Shouwei said: "Then it is to set off artillery battles to avoid evil and seek good fortune." Gu Yuecong said: "Then prepare more artillery battles, the more lively the better." On the side, Wang Shen said: "Do you want to be lively, I have a way." Gu Yuecong inquired with his eyes, and Wang Shen said: "My subordinates invite Wang Laosan to play." Zheng Shouwei said: "You mean Wang Laosan who dances the lion under the mountain?" Wang Shenling nodded and said: "Every Chinese New Year, they all walk the streets and alleys to perform lion dances, and they must be at home in the seventh and a half months." Gu Yuecong thought for a while and said, "Okay, please ask Wang Shen to lead this down the mountain." The king did not delay, but immediately mounted his horse and went out of the city.

Gu Yuecong and Zheng Shouwei went to the secret road to supervise the digging of the hole, all the soldiers are iron men who have been fighting for a long time, it is effortless to carry the stone for tribute, but there is no stonemason, the secret road is less than a foot from the ground of the school, the soldiers have spent a lot of effort to dig through, who knows that the hole is too big, the tribute box will fall down, the size of the second hole is just right, but when the chiseled stone is originally stuffed back into the hole, a finger can be put down in the gap around the hole. Everyone had to block two openings and dig a foot away. The third hole was chiseled, and the entrance of the cave was already shining slightly, and it was almost dawn.

Gu Yuecong went to the school to check, the sky was beautiful, and it snowed heavily last night. He found the location of the hole, cut open the snow to check, although the hole was not without traces, but it was difficult to find, he covered it with snow, returned to the secret passage, and asked people to get pliers, steel nails, hammers and other tools, and tried it several times, so that everyone waited here and walked out of the secret passage.

The autumn sun is rising, thousands of mountains are cloudless, and thousands of miles of snow are covered. In Tongtianfu City, more than 1,000 soldiers are divided into the east and west cities, with arrows and crossbows on the string, and artillery stones are ready to be fired to prevent the enemy from raiding. The Heroes League gathered in the Xicheng school field, and Ouyang Yanjue and Zheng Shouwei stood in front of the heroes. When the heroes were quiet, Liu Shaoying said loudly: "Worship the moon and pack it in the afternoon and go out of the city in the afternoon." ”

"Ho! ho!" after a day of rest, the heroes were vigorous.

The voice fell, and only one person was heard: "Sect Master, the abbot is gone." ”

The heroes looked at the Shaolin monks in the southern corner, and sure enough, they didn't see the abbot of Xuanbei. Gu Yuecong was also stunned, Ouyang Yan took two steps forward and asked, "Does anyone know where the abbot is?"

Qunhao looked at each other, and after a while, one monk pushed the other monk and said, "Anyway, we can't be informed. ”

A little monk was pushed out half-swaying, but he refused to speak for a long time.

Ouyang Yan said, "Little Master, do you know where the abbot is?"

The little monk and Ouyang Yan absolutely glanced at each other, and were stunned by him, and blurted out: "Sect Master, it was the middle of the night last night...... The little monk was anxious to get up and relieve his hands, just walked to the corner of the wall, and met the abbot, at first I thought that the abbot also got up to relieve his hands, so I wanted to go forward with him, who knew that I just wanted to step, and I saw the abbot him...... He ......"

Ouyang Yan said, "How is he?"

The little monk pointed behind him and said, "He used light skills to jump out of this city wall. ”

Qunhao looked at the gesture, and although it had snowed all night, he could still see a few very faint footprints in the corner. Qiu Yizhang said: "Went out of the city?

The little monk clenched his fists tightly, obviously embarrassed, his brows were twisted together, he wanted to open his mouth several times, and then turned to his senior brother and said, "Senior brother, let's not say it." ”

The senior brother said: "The Hero League has worked hard to come here, but it is for the sake of Qianqiu Wulin, the people of the Western Regions, and I Shaolin cannot become a sinner through the ages because of the abbot alone." ”

The heroes were all shocked, and Zhou Tongtian said: "This little master, what did you see, how did Shaolin become a sinner through the ages?"

The little monk lowered his head and refused to speak, and the monk behind him said, "Senior brother, take it out." ”

The little monk reached into his arms, still very hesitant, Qiu Yizhang stepped forward, pulled his hand, and pulled out a letter. Qiu Yizhang snatched it in his hand, and before he opened it, his face had changed suddenly, and the group of heroes said in unison: "What's wrong?" Zhou Tongtian took half a step forward, looked at it slightly, and his face froze.

"How could the abbot write a letter to Gao Jinlun?" Qiu Yizhang's voice was not very loud, but when Qunhao heard it in his ears, he felt like thunder on a sunny day. Zhou Tongtian's eyes widened and said, "What?" took the envelope, slowly opened it, and pulled out the letter paper. Zhou Tongtian is such a serious person, he doesn't look at it or care, and when he looks at it, his hands can't help but tremble. The group of heroes said in unison: "What is written?" Qiu Yizhang said: "Show me." "Holding it in his hand, he didn't think about it, and read it out loud:"

Prime Minister Gao Cheng respectfully:

Worship the moon and go out of the city in the afternoon, and go to the lion forest early tomorrow morning, and Shaolin is on standby to wait for the prime minister to arrive. Xuan Bei paused. ”

The group of heroes were all in an uproar, and all of a sudden, they stayed away from the Shaolin monks, and said: "It turns out that the fine work is a Shaolin monk." "I really didn't expect that the abbot was bought by Gao Jinlun. "No one should be disguised, and this group of bald donkeys will not be hidden. More of them shook their heads and frowned, obviously not believing that Shaolin would be a thief.
