Chapter 144 Cao Man comes to attack
As the night gradually faded, as expected, the two people who sneaked into Dengfeng City sent news that Cao Man was sending troops.
Not only Cao Man's troops, Mr. Peter, who stole the underground treasures in Beimang Mountain under the guise of building a railway, also led an army and headed towards the Shaolin Temple.
"Follow the plan."
In the private courtyard, Li Kai closed his personal panel and said to the two people in front of him: "Monkey, go and guide the refugees outside the temple. With yesterday's preparation, there won't be too much resistance. When the time comes, whoever takes the first action will take care of the rest."
So he left."
"No problem, just leave it to me." Yuan Lang said without hesitation.
Li Kai moved his eyes lightly and looked at Ye Piao, but before he could speak, the other party had already waved his hand and said: "I know what I should do. Let's go to Wu Dao to lead the way. In fact, I can do this. In recent times, I have explored
I’ve memorized the way down the mountain.”
Li Kai shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course I don't think you can't remember the way, but people outside the temple are more convinced of monks like Wu Dao after all. Having him lead the way can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles."
"Why are you even explaining this? I'm not that kind of willful woman." Ye Piao said angrily, but there was a clear look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Yuan Lang turned his head away silently, the veins in his neck tightened, and he resisted the desire to vomit.
After all, he couldn't hold back and walked out first without looking back: "There are so many people outside the temple. Even if you are prepared, it will take a lot of time. I'll go and get busy first!"
The silhouette quickly disappeared around the corner.
Li Kai pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with a smile, looked back and said: "You can go too. Although the road to the back of the mountain is very hidden, it is better to be cautious and explore it in advance to avoid being trapped in a flanking attack."<
/p>
"Well, I'll be careful." Ye Piao nodded solemnly and left the courtyard.
Li Kai was the only one left in the small courtyard. He sat in front of the stone table and stone bench and puffed leisurely for a while, then got up and left the courtyard and came to the abbot's residence.
"Donor Mo?"
Before he could get closer, a voice sounded in the darkness.
Li Kai looked at the stick-wielding monk who came out of the darkness, recalled a little and said: "Jingyu?"
"Donor Mo, do you recognize me?" the stick-wielding monk stopped and said slightly surprised.
Li Kai smiled and said: "My memory is still good."
Hearing this, Jingyu's strength in holding the stick was slightly relaxed. After all, being able to be remembered by someone with whom he didn't have much contact on a daily basis, and being called out by his name, inevitably gave him a feeling of closeness.
However, he finally remembered his identity, and then asked: "Donor Mo is still awake at such a late hour. Could it be that he has insomnia?"
Li Kai couldn't help but laugh at these words. He shook his head and joked: "Of course not. If I had insomnia, why would I come here? Unless I was sleepwalking."
"Uh, hehe!" Jingyu didn't know how to respond, so he could only grin and scratch his head with a silly smile on his face.
"Okay, I'm here to visit the abbot. Since you are here, please go and ask." Li Kai said.
"Okay." Jingyu quickly agreed, turned around and walked half a step before he remembered to ask again: "By the way, what's the matter with the donor?"
……
When the army was dispatched, it was naturally noisy, but on this night, Dengfeng City always maintained a state of deathly silence.
Most people hear about what Cao Man is like, but the people in Dengfeng City have seen enough about the behavior of his troops in recent days.
The huge figure of 100,000 silver dollars on Hou Jie's reward notice posted at the city gate first stirred the hearts of every soldier, causing them to launch a turbulent search operation in Dengfeng City, and how many crimes occurred in the process...
No one will calculate it, and no one will pay it off.
In this turbulent era, when the spark has not yet been ignited, people living in gray do not dare to raise their heads and hope for the color called hope.
In the past nearly three hundred years, they have been forced to learn one thing, which is to grovel and submit in the face of oppression, even if the factor of resistance still flows deep in their bones and blood.
Therefore, when Cao Man led his army out of the city, leaving only a small number of soldiers to guard it, the civilians did not know what was happening. But not long after, a small army opened the city gate and quickly captured the key points in the city.
I don’t know what happened.
But these things all fall into the eyes of one person.
……
"Something interesting happened."
Raising his hand to sweep open his personal panel, Li Kai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What did Brother Mo say?" Jingkong picked his ears and asked uncertainly.
"It's nothing." Li Kai would not tell Jingkong the news from Guan Ying, although such an incident did make him want to share more.
"Did I hear wrong?" Jingkong muttered, then put it behind him, continued to look at the only road up the mountain, and then asked: "Brother Mo, will the warlord named Cao really come?"
"This is the third time you have asked me." Li Kai said helplessly, "I can't answer you accurately about this kind of thing, but it is certain that Cao Man led his army out of the city and came in this direction.
No matter what, you can never go wrong with being careful."
"Brother Mo, you are right." Jingkong nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "But I just can't help but be worried! Moreover, Cao Man will come, is it because our previous actions have exposed the truth?
?The Shaolin Temple is now in much decline than before. If it is attacked by a cruel warlord like Cao Man again, wouldn't I be the sinner of Shaolin?"
Li Kai turned his head and looked at this young monk, who looked rough but had an extremely delicate heart. He had just thought of a few words of comfort, but before he could say anything, he suddenly fell silent and grabbed Jing Kong's left forearm with one hand.
"Huh?" As they looked at each other, Jingkong followed his gaze and lowered his voice immediately because a group of soldiers had appeared on the road leading to the mountain.
"Don't move." Li Kai turned his head and lowered his voice and said to the more than 20 Shaolin monks hiding here: "Let's wait until they all pass before we set off."
The monks knew that they were going to attack the enemy from behind later, and what they needed was a surprise. Otherwise, facing steel guns and iron cannons, even the most powerful senior brother, Jing Neng, would not be able to withstand them.
Therefore, when they heard these words, they held their breath and only stared at the passing army with deep eyes.
Li Kai stared at the troops passing by one after another, silently calculating in his mind the number of people, the configuration of weapons, and the morale displayed during the march. Then he compared it with his own arrangements, and he felt even more at ease, especially when he saw with his own eyes the following troops.
When he saw the two players behind Cao Man, he was even more relieved. After all, he could be completely sure that the non-owning player who left the dungeon not long ago was the Taoist who could use flying swords.
Although at this moment he has remembered the origin of the other party's methods, he still feels a little troublesome. Fortunately, the other party has left the game early for unknown reasons.
And the only thing left that could give him some sense of expectation was Hou Jie, the protagonist of the dungeon.
