After the barbarians outside the city retreated, the people and soldiers in the city finally had a chance to breathe, reorganize their troops, repair their armor, and wait for reinforcements.
In the streets and alleys, people who have not been out for a long time are walking bustling on the streets. Even if they are not buying anything, they still want to chat in the crowd and have fun.
There was also a commotion in the posthouse located in the east of the city. After receiving the order, a group of soldiers entered the courtyard and guarded the door of the prisoner's room. In order to distinguish the appearance and figure, they opened the door and took a look.
The moment he opened the door, he saw a pile of clothes on the ground and the body riddled with holes in his robes. His eyes were all bloody and bloody. He was so frightened that the soldier staggered back, bumped into his comrades, and then turned around and ran away.
Open it and report it to the two Taoist priests in the courtyard.
Soon, Yunlong and Yunhe arrived with two Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion. Zhenhai, who heard the commotion, also opened the door and came out. Seeing that there was only one corpse left of the man from last night, he shouted the Buddha's name and went to look for Chen Yuan.
"It's already dawn, but there is still Yin Qi left!" Yun He looked around, and in his pinched fingers, traces of Yin Qi were moving out along the gaps in the window lattice, dissipating in the skylight.
Yunlong untied the clothes of the corpse and took a look. It was full of dense holes, and very small traces of gnawing could be seen among the blurred flesh and blood.
The old Taoist listened to his junior brother's words and did not respond. Instead, he asked the two Tianshi Mansion Taoist priests outside the door to take the body out for a ritual ceremony, then burn it and bury it.
"Senior brother, this person has been causing trouble for many years. It was difficult to catch him. He should die like this..."
Before Yun He could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Long on the side. The old Taoist smiled and said, "It's better if you die. You don't have to worry about it, and you don't bother to interrogate. The top priority right now is to solve the problem of Gansha and Gua."
The barbarians in the two prefectures, drive them out!"
At this time, Chen Yuan also took Master out of the room, exchanged a few words with Monk Zhenhai, and whispered to the old man next to him not to run around, and would take him to have breakfast later, which allowed the crazy old man to calm down.
.
While they were talking, the two Taoist priests in the back room seemed to hear Chen Yuan and the others talking. They came out to see the ceremony and went to the public kitchen of the post house to have dinner together. On the way, they talked about Liu Chengcheng's death. Although they had doubts, it was not the most important thing.
of.
"Maybe the person behind the scenes killed someone and silenced him. After all, he was driven by others, so his life is naturally in the hands of others."
Chen Yuan casually mentioned a possibility. Apart from Yun He frowning and thinking, only Taoist Yunlong smiled. As for Monk Zhenhai, he remained silent.
All the way into the left courtyard of the post house, seven or eight long tables were neatly arranged. After sitting down, Chen Yuan looked around and said with a smile: "This is my first time to eat from the public kitchen. I really owe it to the two Taoist priests."
.”
"What did fellow Taoist say?"
Both Yunhe Yunlong and Zhenhai were vegetarian. A few plates of green onions, green vegetables, and sunflower vegetables made the crazy old man quit and rubbed his feet under the table angrily.
"I want to eat meat! How can I eat it without meat... I won't eat it if I don't..."
As a last resort, Yunlong smiled and asked the chef to add two more dishes, stir-fried with pork fat paste, and when he served it, he could still see the fat bubbling on the fat meat, and the fragrant old man brought a dinner plate.
So I ran to the table by the door and was eating alone and laughing.
It just so happened that it was much cleaner here, so the four of them talked about business.
"The Jugu people have retreated, but Gansha, Guazhou, and Yujian Pass are still in their hands. The people there don't know what happened to them. Yesterday Pindao paid a visit to the general in the city. General Li intends to wait for reinforcements to regain the lost ground. We
Then help from the side."
"When the poor monk came here, he saw the people displaced, the fields deserted, and the temples collapsed!" Zhenhai put down his bowls and chopsticks, and looked ahead with clear eyes, "I came here just to kill people, what's the point?
So cumbersome!”
Yun He knew that this was the strongest monk among the younger generation of Wanfo Temple, but he didn't expect that he would be so murderous. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chen Yuan and motioned for the other party to say a few words.
Opposite me, Chen Yuan also laughed: "I arrived with the young master Chang Hao, and we met in the northwest just to kill Hu. How could we delay? The Juqi priest injured his arm yesterday, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?"
Kill him?!"
On the one hand, he came to kill Hu, but on the other hand, Chen Yuan still remembered Fan Baye's words in his heart. He was on a mission to do something. Hu people are such good people. If they don't kill a group of them, wouldn't this trip be in vain?
"Brother!"
Yun He looked anxiously at the old Taoist on the side, but what he saw was Yun Long putting down his chopsticks with a blushing face, "I am worried that I can't find anyone who is traveling the same way. Haha, how about tonight?!"
As he said that, he looked at his junior brother who was stunned.
"Go back to your room later, take out the pills I put in the wooden box under the bed, and give each of you, the young master and this fellow Daoist Chen a pill of recovery."
"Brother, how can a mere three of us accomplish anything in such a hurry? How can there be only one priest in the army of Naposhana!"
Yun He felt anxious in his heart. The senior brother in front of him had broken the law of killing. Maybe the Heavenly Master would not punish him, but if he followed these two people to kill Gansha and Guazhou, life and death would be unpredictable. Even if he survived,
What to do about the killings caused?
"Junior brother, I have been thinking about it for a long time at the top of the city yesterday. Foreigners invaded my Han land and killed so many people for nothing. If I don't take revenge on them, this idea doesn't make sense. How can I calm down and practice Taoism?"
Yunlong looked at the monks and lay people in front of him and laughed: "Besides, how many times can a poor Taoist do such a heroic act in his life?!"
With that said, he took the teacup at hand and presented himself to Zhenhai, Chen Yuan.
"please!"
Chen Yuan, the monk from Zhenhai also raised his cup and said: "Taoist Master, please!"
The three drank it all in one gulp, looked at each other for a moment, and laughed.
"...Killing the three of them, as Taoist Master Yun He said, is indeed too risky." Chen Yuan put down the cup and said softly: "But I know how to call on gods and spirits, and can be possessed by gods and men who can use weapons. The two of them will
The Taoist priest might as well tell the general of this city to look for five thousand soldiers and one general to accompany us!"
In the words, Chen Yuan will need things, such as the birth date of the general, which needs to be born at the Yin time. In addition, he also needs to gather the generals in the city and let him perform several stories of wood carving dramas!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After that, the four of them split up.
Before noon arrived, 6,500 people were gathered in the school grounds in the city. Looking at the high general platform, a huge stage performed a woodcarving play. It was a story about a cold-blooded general fighting with another country.
, the sound of the mana carrying the package can almost be heard clearly by the soldiers, and the general's name is even easier to remember.
In the afternoon when he arrived, Yunhe finally found a qualified military governor. He was a young man in his early twenties, who was quite brave. When he heard that he only led two thousand people to take back Gansha, Guazhou and Guazhou were all stunned.
He clenched his fists and trembled with excitement.
At first, the general in the city was reluctant. After all, there were only six thousand soldiers in the city. To separate two thousand soldiers was a huge risk. But if he was not a famous figure in the Tianshi Mansion and helped defend the city, he agreed.
The carefully selected soldiers left the military camp one by one and gathered outside the city to wait.
The western clouds are getting dim.
Chen Yuan was sitting in the courtyard, and the somewhat confused young Duhou looked at him. He didn't know whether he should say to this expert that it was almost time. After a moment, Chen Yuan under the eaves opened his eyes, entered the room and lit a stick.
The incense was placed in the incense burner, and a few talismans were pressed under the incense burner.
I watched him carve a doll in the afternoon. Compared with Lu Bu and Guan Yu, he was slightly smaller in stature and had a more upright appearance. He had a pair of beards on his upper lip and a short beard on his lower chin. He held a long sword and looked majestic.
Amid the curls of green smoke, a majestic voice came from the woodcarving: "Are there 400,000 enemies?"
"No."
"Two hundred thousand?"
"nor!"
"One hundred thousand? Too little..."
"Only fifty thousand, a group of barbarians from the Western Regions!"
The doll's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What about us?"
"two thousand."
"enough."
The last sentence came from the mouth of the captain outside the door. His face had not changed, but his eyes were sharp and scary, and his whole spirit had taken on a new look. It was obvious that he had taken over his body.
The captain lifted up his cloak, strode towards the courtyard gate with his sword in hand, and faced the two soldiers at the gate with a loud voice.
"Where is the army!"
Duhou, who usually hangs out together, seems to be a different person when he goes out. His look and words, his aura frightened the two soldiers to the point of stuttering.
"Outside the city!"
"Get on your horse!" The captain got on his horse and glanced at the two soldiers with an imposing manner, "Lead the way!"
In the line of sight that only Chen Yuan could see, behind the captain on horseback was a shadowy figure wearing an iron armor, a long spear, and a bronze sword at his waist.
