Chapter 145 Outside the Temple Gate
"Commander, something is wrong."
An officer reined in his horse and turned around. He approached Cao Man and reported with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?"
Cao Man was riding a group of dark-haired horses. He didn't pay much attention to the officer's words. As he spoke, he looked sideways because there was a carriage accompanying him behind him. It was just different from ordinary carriages. This carriage
The carriage was more like a prison carriage, and as he suddenly swung his riding crop, a woman's exclamation and the fearful cry of a child suddenly came from the carriage.
Those in the car were none other than Yan Xi and her daughter.
The mother and daughter looked completely different from before. Even when they were in trouble before, although their faces were pale and gloomy, they still didn't look like an ordinary family at first glance. At this moment, they seemed to have lost their minds, with disheveled hair.
He was in a state of embarrassment and had already suffered extremely embarrassing torture. He was like a trapped animal in a cage, and his whole heart was filled with fear.
"Hahaha!" Hearing the frightened cry, Cao Man burst into laughter as if hearing the sounds of nature.
"Commander, Commander..." The officer looked timid and did not dare to call him.
"I understand." Cao Man waved his hand and snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? They are just a group of monks who eat fast and chant Buddha. What tricks can they do?"
The officer immediately bowed his head and did not dare to refute a word.
But just when he was about to retreat, he suddenly heard Cao Man say: "You will lead fifty people to advance at full speed to detect the movements ahead. If there is any abnormality, report immediately!"
The officer was stunned when he heard this. When Cao Man glanced at him coldly, he immediately shuddered and quickly responded: "Yes!"
Cao Man waved his hands in disgust, turned his head, walked to the carriage, and laughed at the miserable mother and daughter in the cage: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you and your niece are both locked in a cage, and my eldest brother is still alive
If you can't bear to hide and don't show up, could it be that he has abandoned you?"
Having said this, he didn't wait for the mother and daughter in the cage to respond... maybe they wouldn't respond. The two of them were tortured both physically and mentally. The only response they could give to the outside world at this moment was panicked screams.<
/p>
"No, no, I'm not sure how Hou Jie treats you, sister-in-law, but he treats Shengnan as his beloved." Cao Man grinned, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, and asked with a maniacal smile: "Sister-in-law,
You said I would erect a pole later, hoist Xiao Shengnan into the air, and arrange some swords, mountains, fire, and the like below. Will my big brother who can endure it jump out on his own?"
"Ah! -" Yan Xi suddenly screamed and rushed forward, stretching out her hand from the cage and grabbing Cao Man's face.
However, no matter how fast she moved, it was not as fast as Cao Man's sideways movement. Looking at the woman who was so close but could not move an inch, Cao Man had a wanton and evil smile on his face. He looked at her, but he raised his fingers behind him and called out.
An adjutant came over and followed closely behind him, tilted his head and whispered a few words to him. Then, in the eyes of the woman whose face gradually changed, he raised his head and laughed, and lightly spurred the horse forward.
When Cao Man's back gradually disappeared, the adjutant straightened up, his face changed color, waved his hand to the soldiers on the left and right, and ordered: "Catch that girl out."
Then there was a burst of crying and cursing.
At the same time, outside the Shaolin Temple, the shacks built by the refugees were silent at the moment, without the smoke and fire of the past.
Yuan Lang successfully completed his mission. Given the early preparations, this result was not a surprise.
Of course, the process of doing this is not without obstacles. After all, when there are more people, the voices will become more mixed. There is plenty of food to eat outside the Shaolin Temple every day. It is inevitable that some people will not want to leave, but Yuan Lang is not that kind.
Such a kind-hearted person, or in other words, such a person is rare among the players of "Metaverse". He just used a few tricks to remove the obstacles and guide the refugees to retreat from the back hill.
This process went extremely smoothly. When the officer who was sent by Cao Man to take the lead arrived, they were greeted only by the silent hut with the smell of fireworks gone.
"You five, go in and investigate." The officer waved his hand to the soldiers and gave a simple order.
The soldier didn't load his gun, so he just got in, passed quickly, and came out from the other side.
"Sir, there is nothing inside." The soldier stamped his feet and saluted and reported.
"No?" The officer reined in his horse and turned around, looking at the closed heavy door of the Shaolin Temple, frowning and muttering: "Could it be that the monks in the temple got wind of the news in advance and welcomed all the refugees into the temple?"
"Stay here temporarily. If you see anyone, you will be detained immediately!" The officer left an order and immediately turned back on horseback, returning to Cao Man to report.
The fifty soldiers who stayed behind used the shacks outside the temple as a garrison and blocked the gate of the Shaolin Temple. Although the gun bolts were not pulled, the black muzzles of the guns were pointed forward.
However, what they didn't know was that when they blocked the gate of Shaolin Temple, they were also blocked.
In the mountains and forests, figures in gray robes moved quietly and cautiously, without attracting any attention.
Cao Man's army quickly climbed up the mountain, and the neighing of men and horses was heard. The officer drove his horse to the gate of Zaolin Temple.
"Monk in the temple, listen, my commander-in-chief knows that you have been harboring the wanted criminal Hou Jie, but my commander-in-chief thinks that you and others are from outside the country, or have been deceived by Hou Jie, so I will open the temple door immediately and let me search.
, otherwise don’t blame my handsome man for murdering you in this pure land!"
The officer's high-pitched voice passed through the mottled temple door and entered the temple. However, after a long time, the heavy temple door was still closed as before, and no one stood up to respond.
At this time, the artillery army led by Peter finally came up the mountain, parked in the open space behind Cao Man's army, fixed the artillery on the spot, and adjusted the muzzle to point at the target.
The silence in the air made the officer secretly annoyed, but he did not dare to make a hasty decision. He looked back at Cao Man, who was sitting firmly in the center, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Cao Man waved his hand in disgust. The officer did not dare to hesitate, bowed his head, reined in his horse and stepped aside.
Step~step~
Trampled by horse hooves, Cao Man came to the prison car.
Yan Xi held the cage tightly with both hands, but at this moment she no longer pretended to be crazy. She looked at Cao Man from the other side of the fence and begged with tears in her eyes: "Please, let Sheng Nan go. I beg you, as long as you let Sheng Nan go, what am I going to do?"
I’m willing to do it, please~”
Cao Man narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "Okay."
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, but she heard Cao Man say again: "But, sister-in-law, haven't you done everything you can do for me? Do you have any other tricks?
”
Yan Xi's face froze, and then she roared ferociously, shaking the cage with both arms, but this could not cover up her shame, anger and despair at the moment.
Cao Man ignored her and turned sideways to greet her: "Come on! Hang up the little girl and set up the firewood and pot underneath. Haha, I want to take a look. My elder brother who is the father and the people in the temple keep saying this
