Chapter 119(1/3)
The night is shrouded in the sky, and the Dragon Claw Peak is still crowded with people.
Seeing this scene, other temples and Taoist temples were so scared that they dared not open the door, trying to escape the disaster.
The monks and Taoists all opened up several pieces of land in the mountains, planting vegetables, fruits and melons, but the rice, grain, oil and salt that they usually use still need to go down the mountain to buy. They originally planned to rely on the inventory in the cellar, but these people in the martial arts world did not reason with them. When they saw these temples, they went to beat the doors to the sky.
In fact, if it were the homes of ordinary people, they would not be so direct.
As monks, they should open the door to convenience. These people often travel around the wilderness and are used to staying in Taoist temples and do not think there is anything wrong.
If you throw out a dozen copper coins, you have to eat and drink, regardless of whether you are enough or not.
If the monks and Taoists are a little negligent, they will get angry.
These are all masters who can slap the table in two pieces with one slap. They are armed with weapons, fierce and fierce. When they stare at them, they look like they want to eat people. Who dares to provoke them?
So the monks and Taoists opened the wing room with bitter faces and invited people to rest. After looking back, they found that the food was eaten a lot, and even the firewood was not enough. How could this be better?
"Hold on, the officers and soldiers will come tomorrow."
"What's the use? These people in the martial arts world are very slick. They will slip away when the government comes. When the government leaves, they will move in casually. They can't even drive them away. If this continues, the temple will be poor."
Taijing is rich, and the incense of Dragon Claw Peak has always been strong. These temples and Taoist temples have a very thick foundation and will be eaten for a while. They are even more afraid that these people in the martial arts world will fight and smash objects, or simply hold a knife to kill people.
Come whatever you are afraid of.
If you can't catch the treasure, and if you meet your former enemies, won't you fight?
After such a mess, everyone left behind the yard that was so badly beaten, dragged their weapons and went back to the room to sleep with anger.
The people in the temple and Taoist temple were crying and sent people down the mountain to report the case, but they did not dare to wait until tomorrow morning to set off again. God knew that something would happen if it was delayed for half a day.
These people walked the night road with fear, and then found that the mountains were full of wild treacherous wild animals.
——The accent is very complicated, as if there are people everywhere.
What are so many people from the world gathered together?
Thinking of the "earth movement" and heavy rain on Bai Rishan, and the strange phenomenon appeared in the sky for two consecutive days, it really made people think about it. Someone suddenly had the courage to eavesdrop on it, and then was stunned by the five words "The Treasure of the Emperor Li Tomb".
"Impossible, when will there be an imperial tomb on Dragon Claw Peak?"
"This is really not accurate. No one has ever discovered the tomb of Emperor Chen Li."
"What a joke. Even if it's really here, how do these thieves know? Judging from Feng Shui and pointing to the tombs, it has nothing to do with them no matter how you say it!"
"This... regardless of whether it is true or false, you should go down the mountain quickly and let the government drive these people away."
When everyone thought, this was indeed the reason, and continued walking on the mountain road while touching the darkness.
As a result, as I walked, the familiar mountain road seemed to change, and even the stone steps disappeared.
Some people were lost in the forest directly, while others did not choose the mountain road near Liuhe Temple because of the direction, but they went down the mountain smoothly.
As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw an amazing scene.
Countless torches rushed over, and then there was a rain of arrows.
Those who were waiting for news near the foot of the mountain fled one after another, and those who had poor martial arts died on the spot under the cold arrow.
"What's going on?"
There are people asking, either angry or horrified.
Young Master Jinfeng made a quick decision and ordered everyone to retreat to the mountain.
Anyway, the Dragon Claw Peak is so big that you can hide from people anywhere, so you are not afraid of the court setting fire to the mountains.
After a few rounds of arrow rains, only corpses remained on the spot.
Under the torch, a man dressed in a general said with a cold face: "Your Majesty has an order to kill bandits. Anyone who comes out of the mountains will be killed without any scruples!"
"General Tan, our deputy commander is still on the mountain!" An Jinyiwei came over and said in shock and anger.
"This general has received conclusive information. Gong Tongzhi and Xiao Baihu and others were attacked by bandits in the world, and no one hundred people survived."
"Where is the news?"
"It's also the people from your Beizhen Fushi." General Tan looked at the Jinyiwei with a gloomy face and said, "They ran back to the capital with their injuries. The general was an imperial edict and a military order, and he didn't know anything else."
"you!"
The Jinyiwei was both angry and anxious. He was a person sent by Gong Jun’s confidant Xu Qianhu.
Even his confidant subordinates would not follow his boss in everything. Before leaving, Gong Jun said obscurely that he wanted to do something big, which made Xu Qianhu pay special attention to it and always kept it in mind.
After the appearance of the Golden Dragon and the Black Dragon, the capital suddenly became martial law. The commander of the Jinyiwei was summoned into the palace and did not come out again. Both the Beizhen Fushi and the Nanzhen Fushi were shaken.
Because the gate was blocked by the Imperial Guards!
How fresh is it. The Jinyiwei, which made all the civil and military officials look disgusted by the imperial guards, was blocked in their own yamen by the imperial guards.
The Jinyiwei always goes to block people, but when did it turn around?
The Northern Town Fushi and Southern Town Fushi are both located in the palace city, not far from Wenyuan Pavilion where the prime ministers discuss matters. Although this is the patrol area of the Imperial Guards, the Jinyiwei does not take these people seriously.
During the Chen Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was one of the twelve guards of the Imperial Guards. When they arrived at the Qi Dynasty, they had completely become independent from the Imperial Guards. They were the emperor's confidants and had a separate prison under their name. They spyed on secrets for the emperor and supervised all officials, which was notorious.
The Imperial Guards are different. Their accusations are to guard the capital, especially the imperial city.
In addition, there are two large troops stationed in the capital, with a total of 100,000 people.
The Jinyiwei originally felt that he was walking sideways in the capital until his door was blocked, and then he suddenly realized that this was not the case. In fact, if they had to rush forward, they could get out, but they had not figured out the matter yet, and no one dared to act rashly.
Was it because the emperor took down his own commander's intent? Or was it because someone was determined to rebel, took control of the Imperial Guards, and attacked them?
It doesn't matter, if the gate is blocked, they can still send a few Jinyiwei with high martial arts skills to find out the news.
The atmosphere in the capital was unusual. Before night could be reached, locks were locked, like a curfew.
All the city gates were closed, and the patrol yamen and the imperial guards were cleaning the streets. When they saw people wandering outside, they arrested them. It seemed that they were not like someone was treasoning, but they seemed to be on guard against anything.
It is said that the yamen in various places have also received imperial edicts and ordered them to leave their own yamen and go home directly and not go out.
The Jinyiwei, who was inquiring about the news, calmed down and slipped back to report.
Only Gong Jun's subordinate, because he was uneasy, tried every means to sneak out of the city with the Imperial Guards.
General Tan is the deputy general of the Zuo Camp in Jingji. Half a day ago, an unknown man in black sneaked in at the Zuo Camp. The commander of the Zuo Camp died of hidden weapons. It is said that the same thing happened in the Right Camp, but the commander of the Right Camp was not dead.
The assassin did not catch it.
Not only the emperor was furious, but also the generals from the left and right camps were furious.
In the evening, an imperial edict came to Zuoying. General Tan ordered 10,000 troops and came towards Longzhao Peak with great momentum.
"General Tan! Long Claw Peak is so big, with many temples and Taoist temples on it. Those people are ordinary people. How could you give such an order?" Gong Jun's subordinates couldn't help but question it when they saw a monk in the corpse lying on the ground.
General Tan repeated with a calm face: "I will be punished by the emperor and kill me!"
Seeing that the baggage troops behind him even brought artillery, the Jinyiwei couldn't help but sarcastically: "Since that's the case, it's better for the general to dismount quickly. Stay under the flag on a high-headed horse, which is just a target of hidden weapons."
“Bold!”
General Tan is a third-rank military officer, and he is the same level as the commander of the Jinyiwei. Although they have the power in their hands, this Jinyiwei is just a small flag of the seventh-rank. It is because of his low official position that he will not attract attention.
The Jinyiwei has become a habit of walking sideways in the capital, and everyone gives me some face. At this moment, General Tan scolded him angrily and did not want to give him face anymore, so he could only bow his head.
"The lower official said something nonsense, and the general calmed down."
General Tan said bluntly: "The imperial edict says that there are bandits who have stolen the capital and have ill-conspiracy. Although you are an Jinyiwei, you have no orders and no companions. You are alone and claim that you have left the city to do business, so you were delayed outside the city. You followed Longzhao Peak halfway, and now you are blocking me from executing the holy will. I see that you are very suspicious, so I will take him down from both sides!"
Although he said that he was taking it, the guards around him were ruthless in their attitude, and they clearly looked like they were not surviving.
It is not easy to offend the Jinyiwei. If there is no problem, it will be troublesome afterwards. It is better to kill and save trouble. It is easy to deduct the charges if a person dies. If it is not good, it is said that he was killed by bandits in the world in chaos.
The Jinyiwei was shocked and without thinking, he immediately kicked the knife away and crawled into the forest as if he was flying.
Although his official position is low, his martial arts are very good, otherwise Xu Qianhu would not have sent him out.
He first dodged a few big knives, followed by more than a dozen long guns, and then dozens of cold arrows. Finally, he broke through the encirclement and only had an arrow in his arms.
After entering the forest, he immediately looked for the trees to hide, then leaned against the trunk, pulled out his sword and cut the arrow shaft, but the arrow was not pulled out.
He didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight into the mountain.
Along the way, I met many people from the martial arts world, all cursing the imperial army.
In order to prevent accidents, the Jinyiwei could only take off his outer robe and roll twice on the mud. Even though the official boot heel sword could still reveal his identity, others could not see it clearly at night and could barely get away with it.
The terrain of Dragon Claw Peak is not complicated, and the mountain road is well built. Basically, you can encounter a Taoist temple or Buddhist temple as long as you walk along the mountain road. There is no dead end to the fork, but it just leads to different places.
This Jinyiwei wanted to go to the Jinyiwei's camping place on Dragon Claw Peak. The place was not far from Liuhe Temple. After walking for a while, I felt something was wrong.
The mountain road became darker and darker, and the road was gone. The forest was so dark that it was impossible to see your fingers.
He took a long way around in a daze and heard a lot of voices, as if everyone could not tell the direction.
The Jinyiwei was determined to avoid most people in the martial arts world and deliberately walked to a place without sound. He hit the tree trunk several times, and he accidentally ran into the right path and did not run to the valley of Xianyueguan.
There are also some people who are lucky enough to come to Liuhe Temple like him. When he stumbled out, no one paid attention to it. Because most people are as embarrassed as him, their clothes are wet and muddy, and they are covered in dust.
The people who stay here are the most concerned about the big pit.
They carefully went into the pit and found some bulky stone figurines and dirty lacquerware.
