However, he said that the thirteen branches were ready like a dream during the day, and Gu Youdao, the leader of the beggar gang, quietly discussed with Jin Yuliang, Xiao Yao and others.

It was decided that Jin Yuliang took his apprentices Zhang Yide and Xiao Yao to Kaiyuan Temple to rescue Zhang Jingxiu from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and when Gu Youdao led the Jiangnan group to attack and open the west gate of the Yuan Temple, and attracted the attention of the eunuchs in the Kaiyuan Temple to the west gate, Jin Yuliang and others took the opportunity to rescue Zhang Jingxiu from the north gate of the Kaiyuan Temple.

This time to rescue Zhang Jingxiu, to put it bluntly, Gu Youdao and these people are just feints, and whether Jin Yuliang and Xiao Yao can succeed is the key.

In order to keep it secret, the whereabouts of Jin Yuliang and Xiao Yao were not known to anyone except for a few people such as Gu Youdao, and at this time, Gu Youdao wanted to arrange for the seven passers-by to attack the west gate of Yuan Temple at night.

On the other side, all the things were handed over to Jin Yuliang, the master of the old friend Liang Sect.

But what Gu Youdao didn't expect was that just when Jin Yuliang was about to lead Zhang Yide and Xiao Yao to the wasteland forest to discuss tonight's actions, he unexpectedly received a signal for help from within Liangmen.

Jin Yuliang found that the situation was urgent after talking with the disciples of Liangmen who came to report the news, and he had no choice but to leave his disciple Zhang Yide to assist Xiao Yao, while Jin Yuliang himself left Fuzhou quickly.

And not long after Jin Yuliang left, the fake Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide tossed and turned, and finally couldn't rest assured of the news brought by the disciple of the good sect, so he left the book and left.

In this way, among the three people who were originally scheduled to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Kaiyuan Temple at night to rescue Zhang Jingxiu, only Xiao Yao was left, and the departure of Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide, the heads of the Liangmen who were good at latent infiltration, was tantamount to adding too much uncertainty to the night's actions.

However, at this time, Gu Youdao and the gathered beggars helped the disciples to arrange a stop, and Jiangnan Qunhao was also ready to go, it was really ready to go, not to mention that Gu Youdao didn't know that Jin Yuliang and Zhang Yide had left, even if Gu Youdao knew, I am afraid that he would also send another person to assist Xiao Yao, but looking at the deserted garden, it is only Gu Youdao himself who can handle this important task, if others are only afraid that it will be difficult to help, it will also drag Xiao Yao down, maybe Xiao Yao has to bear this burden on his own shoulders.

Kaiyuan Temple is said to be located in the east of Fuzhou City, in fact, strictly speaking, the entire Kaiyuan Temple is not in Fuzhou City, but built in an open land in the eastern suburbs of Fuzhou City.

After twilight, Gu Youdao led the Jiangnan group of heroes to sneak outside Kaiyuan Temple in batches.

These days, the men of the South China Sea and the North thought that when they arrived outside the Kaiyuan Temple, Gu Youdao would lead them to rush in, who knew that when they really arrived at the place, Gu Youdao passed down the order to let the leaders of the seven tribes hide.

At first, these people could still endure it, but seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, some people began to sit still, and the leaders of the seven teams each came to urge Gu Youdao several times, but they were all persuaded by Gu Youdao to go back before the time came.

It's just that after these people left, they waited for a long time and didn't see any movement, so they came to ask again, Gu Youdao couldn't say that when the moon was full and the sky was full, the seven people saw Gu Youdao's letter and started together.

Seeing that the moon was about to rise higher and higher, Gu Youdao's heart was always worried about whether Jin Yuliang and Xiao Yao had already succeeded.

Fortunately, on this night, there has been no commotion in Kaiyuan Temple, so even if Jin Yuliang and others did not succeed, they were never discovered by the eunuchs.

When the moon climbed to the highest place and hung in the sky, Gu Youdao was afraid that Jin Yuliang and they would not succeed, so he wanted to delay it for a while, but at this moment, there were people all the way who saw that the hour had come, and rushed out without waiting for Gu Youdao's signal, Gu Youdao sighed secretly and had to set out the fire fold and ignite the letter in his sleeve.

With a flick of his hand, the letter exploded into a red light in the night sky.

The remaining six people saw Gu Youdao sending a signal, and they also jumped out of their hiding places one after another.

This time, in addition to the Ping beggar disciples in the beggar gang, the rest of the people from the rivers and lakes who came to help the fist and the heroes in the Jiangnan area were divided into seven roads, covering various locations west of Kaiyuan Temple.

Each of these seven roads has a leader, and each leader is personally assigned by Gu Youdao to the task, and the seven roads are not subordinate to each other.

If these seven people were to connect with each other, they might find an unbelievable truth, because the leaders of each of their roads received exactly the same task from Gu Youdao.

Any one of the tasks received along the way is that his own way is aimed at luring the enemy, and the other six roads and the beggar gang led by Gu Youdao are the main attack, and the result is that the seven roads of people and horses are shaking the sky in the west of Kaiyuan Temple, but none of them go deep into Kaiyuan Temple.

Nan Tianba was in a good mood after coming out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and sure enough, as Ban Wang Ye said, rotten Confucians like Zhang Jingxiu regarded reputation as more important than life.

General Henan just used a little trick to make that Zhang Jingxiu retreat, but he was afraid that it would not be long before the thief surnamed Zhang would confess the rebellious location.

At that time, as long as Nan Tianba first sent his cronies to explore the truth, maybe he didn't have to wait for the army led by Lord Jiang to arrive, and he would already be able to catch and send Gu Youdao and Fang Baisui to the rebels, so that wouldn't it be easy to get an official and a knight.

Turning around and glancing at the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again, Nan Tianba took his subordinates and prepared to go back to rest, when at this moment, the west side of Kaiyuan Temple suddenly shouted and killed.

Nan Tianba was shocked, and several patrolling soldiers ran from the west, knelt down in front of Nan Tianba and said loudly: "General, it's not good. ”

Nan Tianba forced his composure and said, "What happened to the west?"

The sergeant said: "General Qiqi, a large number of martial arts people suddenly rushed out of the west gate of the temple, and they exchanged hands with our people, and it seems that the people who came are not good." ”

Although Nan Tianba learned about the arrangements of Kaiyuan Temple this time from Ban Wangye, he thought that there would definitely be a big battle in this Kaiyuan Temple, but he didn't expect these rebellions to come so quickly.

In a panic, he asked, "How many enemies are there in the west?" ”

The sergeant said anxiously: "The night is dark, and it is impossible to detect the number of the other party, but the entire west wall of Kaiyuan Temple has been attacked by the enemy again. ”

Nan Tianba's heart was cold when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Xia Zongqi, you go and send someone to inform the prince of Ban, saying that there is an enemy attack, so the prince should be more careful." ”

The sergeant who knelt on the ground said: "General Qiyu, my subordinates have already gone to tell the prince, and the prince has ordered all the soldiers and horses in Kaiyuan Temple to be dispatched by the general tonight, this is the prince's order." ”

As he spoke, the sergeant took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Nan Tianba.

Nan Tianba held the token in his hand, only feeling that the token that he couldn't ask for in the past had an indescribable heaviness in his hand now, and asked, "Where is the prince now?"

The sergeant hesitated and said, "Lord Wang...... The prince knew that the enemy was attacking late at night, so he had already led the guards to guard the Kaiyuan Temple in order to protect himself...... The area around the east gate of Kaiyuan Temple. ”

Now that the enemy is attacking the west gate of Kaiyuan Temple, Ban Hansheng has brought his own guards to guard the east gate of Kaiyuan Temple, which is obviously ready to retreat at any time, and it is no wonder that the sergeant said that it is hesitant.

Previously, after Nan Tianba learned about the plan of Ban Wang Ye and Master Jiang, in order to curry favor with Ban Wang Ye, he made bold remarks in front of the prince, but he didn't expect this retribution to come so quickly.

However, a few days later, the Kaiyuan Temple came to the enemy attack, although the Ban Wangye nominally handed over the soldiers and horses in the Kaiyuan Temple to Nan Tianba, but the Ban Wang Ye was not there, whether these proud soldiers of the palace could wait for him Nan Tianba's dispatch, even if everyone used their lives and whether they could block this group of night raiders, Nan Tianba was not sure in his heart.

Just when Nan Tianba was thinking about it, another sergeant arrived and shouted: "General, the thieves are powerful, if you don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid that the defense line will be broken." ”

Nan Tianba was taken aback when he heard this, if he let this gang of thieves enter the Kaiyuan Temple, it would be okay, but now Nan Tianba's heart has not planned to be like the careful thinking of the prince Ban who sees the bad situation and smears the soles of his feet, after all, as long as Zhang Jingxiu is still in their hands, then it will not be considered a failure, and when Jiang Jingzhong's army arrives, what will these Xu rebel bandits do.

But if the thieves broke through the defense line and killed in the Kaiyuan Temple, then whether Zhang Jingxiu could keep it was still second, and there was no guarantee for the life of Uncle Nan who had no sword in the chaos.

Thinking of this, Nan Tianba hurriedly handed over the token in his hand to Xia Haibing, a close confidant behind him, and said hurriedly: "Xia Zongqi, you quickly bring the token of the prince, gather all the soldiers in the temple, let them guard the west gate of Kaiyuan Temple, and tell them that if they let a thief break into the temple, the military law will deal with it." ”

Xia Haibing ordered: "Subordinates obey orders!" After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "General, are our brothers in the temple also going to gather." ”

Nan Tianba knew that Xia Haibing was asking about the brocade guards scattered all over the temple, and thought for a while: "Let our people come and join me first, and then wait for my dispatch." ”

Xia Haibing saluted to Nantian Ba, and took a few of his subordinates to gather soldiers and horses in various places in Kaiyuan Temple.

This Xia Haibing was not ambiguous, and after a while, several teams of soldiers patrolling in the temple were summoned by him to rush to the west gate of Kaiyuan Temple.

Nan Tianba hesitated, but still rushed to the place where the fire broke out in the west of Kaiyuan Temple.

This time it was Nan Tianba who was clever enough to lift a stone and hit his own feet, although the building in the Kaiyuan Temple was dry and flammable, but the wall of the Kaiyuan Temple was made of bricks and stones, which was very solid.

Gu Youdao and other eight-way people seemed to attack fiercely, but in fact, all places were in accordance with Gu Youdao's previous arrangement, and they were glued to the wall, although they set fire to the eye, but they didn't think it would become a climate.

Unexpectedly, the hidden places in the corners of the walls of Kaiyuan Temple had been ordered by Nantianba to place dry firewood and withered grass early in the morning, and there were also barrels of fire oil hidden in some places, these dry firewood and dry grass and fire oil were originally prepared by Nan Tianba to deal with the incoming thieves.

The original plan was that if the rebel bandits acted before the army led by Jiang Jingzhong arrived, and the situation was overwhelming, Nan Tianba would find a way to lure the thieves to Kaiyuan Temple, and when the thieves were all in the palace, the dead soldiers left by Nan Tianba would ignite the dry wood and fire oil around Kaiyuan Temple, and the saltpeter powder prevented in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion would also be fired.

Bomb and burn all these attacking traitors and thieves in this Kaiyuan Temple.

But people are not as good as the sky, in addition to the flat beggars led by Gu Youdao, the leaders of the other seven roads are scattered all over the west of Kaiyuan Temple, everyone thinks that their task is to lure the enemy, but although they feign a fierce attack, they do not go deep, but set fire everywhere to confuse the enemy.

When even a few firewood and grass piles secretly placed by the Nantian Overlord were accidentally hit and ignited, the flames rose into the sky, and the spreading flames burned to the oil barrels, causing a violent explosion and roaring to the sky.

When Nan Tianba climbed the Renshou Pagoda to watch the battle, he happened to see a corner tower where the oil was blown up to smash and made a loud noise like thunder, and when he looked down, he saw the figures in the west of Kaiyuan Temple shouting to kill the sky, and he couldn't help but be taken away by the face like ashes and courage.

The trap he set up now became a good aid to the enemy, which made Nan Tianba feel an uncontrollable sense of frustration.

Suddenly, a chill hit, Nan Tianba turned his head as if he had a sense in his heart, and in the flickering firelight, the walker Wu Zhu held a ring knife in each hand, and his face was covered with blood like a mad demon, and four elite soldiers surrounded Wu Zhu.

But in a blink of an eye, he was slashed by the ring knife in Wu Zhu's hand, and the palace sergeant who was cut over was also brave, even if he was pierced through the chest by a steel knife, he grabbed Wu Zhu's ring knife with both hands.

The other three sergeants saw the opportunity and fought with their spears, and Wu Zhu's other sword blocked the two spears, but he was still stabbed in the back by the last spear.

I saw Wu Zhu shouting, and drew the knife hard, but the dying sergeant grasped it very firmly, and although Wu Zhu dragged the fallen sergeant a few steps under the pull, he failed to pull out the ring knife.

On the contrary, it was the soldier who stabbed him, and when he saw the appearance of Wu Zhu's cloak exuding blood on his face, he was frightened by his shout, and pulled out the spear in his hand without waiting for it to be solid.

The tip of the spear brought out a handful of blood in Wu Zhu's back, and when the two or two sergeants saw this, they wanted to take advantage, Wu Zhu roared angrily, and the divine power of his right hand actually lifted the dying soldier who was holding the steel knife.

With a sharp blow of the blade, the man was cut into two pieces, and the blood splattered, and the remaining three sergeants only felt a flash of red light in front of them, and fell in a pool of blood.
