Chapter 301: A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops meet each other
After the door creaked several times, Gao Manzheng's troops swarmed out of the camp and headed towards Yuan Junzhang's mansion in the center of Mayi.
Just when they walked less than a street away and came to a crossroads, they saw the leader, a young Taoist priest wearing a white robe, shaking the fly whisk in his hand and speaking to the generals around him.
"Give me the order, I will go directly to the south gate of Mayi instead of going to the mansion!"
"Taoist Priest Qingwei..."
A general following him asked tentatively.
"What are we doing at the South Gate?"
"Pindao is worried that even if Yuan Junzhang Daxingtai knows your thoughts, he may not be willing to return to the Tang Dynasty, so it is best for us to directly implement the matter of returning to the Tang Dynasty, and then he will not be able to refuse.
And Pindao is not afraid to tell you that Princess Pingyang is already waiting outside Nancheng. As long as we open the city gate, great things will happen."
The white-clothed Taoist priest explained first, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in a seductive voice.
"As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do things. After the generals return to the Tang Dynasty, don't you plan to find a backer? And looking at the court, is there anyone more suitable than Princess Pingyang? Think again...
…”
The Taoist priest in white raised his eyebrows and said suggestively.
"If Daxingtai takes you back to the Tang Dynasty, can Princess Pingyang see you in her eyes?"
As soon as these words came out, Kong Qing, the Taoist priest in white, felt the breathing of the generals around him tighten.
That's right, if I and others returned to the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of Daxingtai and General Gao, Princess Pingyang would definitely reward them two. How could I and others fall into the eyes of the princess?
But that's different now...
Daxingtai and General Gao were not here, but Princess Pingyang's envoy Qingwei Zhenren was by his side. After he and others welcomed Princess Pingyang in, he was the one who initiated it!
"yes!"
After understanding this, the generals' breathing became rapid. If their respect for the Taoist priest in white was a bit perfunctory before, it has now become much more sincere.
"I am willing to listen to Master Wei's orders!"
Although there were still some simple-minded generals who did not understand why the military remonstrance suddenly turned into opening the door and returning to the Tang Dynasty, under the excited looks of the colleagues around them, they also accepted the order in a daze.
After giving the order, the team that was originally planning to come out to remonstrate directly changed its direction and drove towards the south gate of Mayi City.
On the tower of the south gate of Mayi City, Asdewu Meitu was standing behind the crenellations of the city wall, looking with a puzzled expression at the cavalry below, which was parked quietly out of range.
"What did the Tang army want to do by sending this cavalry to stop in front of the gate?"
Siege?
This idea was interrupted by himself as soon as it came up. Using cavalry to attack the city, no commander, no matter how stupid, would do it.
"Uliji Shaman..."
Astew turned his head without sobbing and asked a man next to him who seemed to be in his forties or fifties with some messy things hanging on his body with a sincere face.
"Did you see anything? Are these Han people planning to cast spells?"
"Don't think too much about it!"
The Uligi Shaman closed his eyes and felt carefully for a while, then shook his head.
"There are no wizards among these Han people, and they have no intention of casting spells."
"Yeah?"
After hearing what Shaman Wuliji said, Asdewu was even more puzzled.
Not even casting spells, so what is this team planning to do waiting in front of the door? It can't be waiting for us to open the door and come in!
Just when he was puzzled, a Turkic herdsman suddenly ran up from below and spoke to him anxiously.
"Qi Jin, please go down and take a look. Gao Manzheng's people are rebelling!"
After hearing what the herdsman said, Asdewu was stunned for a moment.
"..."
Just when Asdewu hurriedly led Uliji Shaman from the top of the city to the city gate, he discovered that the area near the city gate had become chaotic.
"kill!"
A burly man wearing armor chopped down a Turkic man in a leather robe with a knife, and then immediately rushed the next one with his knife.
Asdewu saw very clearly that this strong man was one of Gao Manzheng's subordinates, and he could even call him by his name.
"Peng Youping, do you want to rebel?"
The strong man named Peng Youping glanced sideways at him and said nothing, but the knife in his hand did not stop either.
"By the way, no wonder the cavalry of the Tang Army stayed in front of the door. It turned out to be waiting for them to cooperate inside and outside..."
Astew pulled out the long knife from his waist without slurping and cursed fiercely.
"Damn it, I've known for a long time that these Han Chinese are unreliable!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Ulji Shaman and said with a ferocious expression.
"Shaman, it's all up to you now. Please quickly ask the gods to send down divine punishment and kill all these traitors! Otherwise we will have to go see the gods today."
After hearing his words, Uligi Shaman did not dare to neglect, took out a black thing from a small leather bag on his chest, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard a few times, and then body
He began to sway left and right, twisting as if having a convulsion.
Suddenly, a somewhat sarcastic voice came to mind.
"Idiot, as a shaman, you are still reading a message when others are rushing in front of you..."
Asdewu followed the words and looked over, only to see a handsome Taoist priest in white floating above their heads. In the Taoist priest's hand was a blue cylinder with flashing electric light.
After seeing his eyes, the Taoist priest smiled at them.
"Goodbye, Mobile Honor!"
The next moment, Asdewu saw a flash of electricity on the blue cylinder before he took a sip, and then there was a bang in his ears, and then he felt as if he was being showered with hot water on his head.
He touched his head with his hand, and immediately his fingers were dripping with blood. Uligisa, who had been twisting his body to cast a spell just now, had only a headless corpse left in his head.
"ah!"
Asdewu couldn't hide his exclamation, and then he saw the Taoist priest smiling at him, and then he raised the cylinder again and pointed it at the person who was talking to him in the distant city gate.
One against three Turkic warriors.
boom!
Asdewu could not see clearly, but with a soft sound, the head of the Turkic warrior exploded instantly, and blood spattered.
"Gudu..."
Seeing the Turkic warrior fall, Asdewu swallowed silently, took off his machete and placed it on the ground very wisely, and then raised his hands towards the Taoist priest in white.
The Taoist priest in white glanced at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then raised the Quilin Roar in his hand and pulled the trigger toward the sky.
boom!
A star shot out from the muzzle of the gun, shot straight into the sky, and exploded over Mayi City.
"An arrow that pierces the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet you!"
"This is the moment..."
After Princess Pingyang, who was outside the south gate of Mayi City, saw the signal flare rising, she drew her sword out of its sheath with a swish sound and pointed forward.
"Brothers, the internal forces have occupied Nancheng. Everyone should follow me and rush forward. We will defeat the enemy today."
As she spoke, she urged her war horse and rushed towards the south gate of Mayi City.
After seeing Princess Pingyang rushing forward, the remaining cavalry also urged their mounts, and followed her, rushing towards the city gate like an iron current.
Just when the cavalry started, the south gate of Mayi City had already opened with a harsh sound, and the suspension bridge at the city gate was slowly lowered. Several people in armor appeared behind the door, still waving to them.
.
Da da da……
After a burst of hoofbeats, Princess Pingyang's cavalry rushed in and rushed into the south gate.
"Xiao Qingwei..."
Princess Pingyang reined in her horse and looked up and down for a long time at the Taoist priest in white who was standing next to the city gate. After making sure that he was not injured, she smiled.
"You have done a very good job, and you deserve the first credit!"
"It's just a little effort, not enough to be praised by the Third Lady!"
The Taoist priest in white first bowed to Princess Pingyang, then straightened up and glanced at the generals around him who were looking at him anxiously.
"Please Rong Pindao introduce the real hero to Sanniangzi."
After hearing the words of the white-robed Taoist priest, each of these generals straightened their backs and made valiant and high-spirited expressions.
"Who is this……"
"..."
Just when the southern city of Mayi was opened and Princess Pingyang had led her people in, a Taoist priest in white who was in Yuan Junzhang's residence in Mayi city moved his body slightly, and then lifted the ancient sword from Yuan Xiaozheng's neck.
He stood up and smiled slightly at Yuan Junzhang.
"Daxingtai, Pindao will give you one last chance. You will return to Tang Dynasty now. The previous conditions are still valid."
"impossible!"
Yuan Junzhang answered without hesitation.
"Someone has made up his mind and must..."
Before he could finish his words, a huge sound of shouting and killing suddenly erupted from outside the mansion. Yuan Junzhang stopped and looked outside the mansion in surprise.
"Stop looking, Daxantai!"
Kong Qing, a Taoist priest in white, smiled slightly at Yuan Junzhang.
"Now that the south gate of Mayi City has been opened, Princess Pingyang has entered the city. You are still rich and noble now that you have returned to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, this will be your fate."
As he spoke, the Taoist priest in white took a step forward, as if shrinking to the ground, and appeared directly behind a certain Dharma Protector Vajra who was fighting Gao Manzhi. With one move, the ancient sword in his hand stabbed the Dharma Protector Vajra on the back of the neck.
Go down.
"Stay here!"
Before the ancient sword in the white-clothed Taoist's hand could stab the Dharma Protector Vajra, an old voice suddenly came from the back hall.
The next moment, an old monk appeared beside the white-robed Taoist priest out of thin air, as if teleporting. He held the seal with both hands and stamped it on the white-robed Taoist priest's body.
“Donor, please show mercy!”
Although he was attacked by surprise, the corners of the Taoist priest's mouth turned up again, as if he had expected this.
"cut!"
Following the words, the ancient sword in the white-clothed Taoist priest's hand suddenly turned into a sword wheel, flew out from his hand, and struck at the old monk's handprint.
boom!
After a muffled sound, the Taoist priest in white staggered back a step and bumped into the Dharma Protector Vajra.
puff!
The fight with Gao Manzhi was indistinguishable, but the Protector Vajra, who was like a human beast, suddenly flew off the ground and plunged to the ground as if he had been hit by a car.
Snapped!
Gao Manzhi seized this opportunity, waved the deformed lamppost in his hand, and hit the Protector Vajra on the head, causing blood to splash everywhere.
"Namo Amitabha!"
The old monk raised his hand that was still dripping with blood, chanted a Buddhist chant, and looked at the Taoist in white with horror in his eyes.
"Donor, you are actually a Taoist disciple. The old monk really made a mistake..."
"Easy to say!"
The Taoist priest in white rolled up his sleeves gracefully, and the flying sword in the air made a circle and landed behind him.
"May I ask which sect of Buddhism this great monk is an Arhat?"
"Namo Amitabha! Arhats don't dare to be..."
The old monk clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name again.
"Old Monk Lian Zong Shi Sengyan."
"oh……"
The Taoist priest in white nodded slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed a sneer.
"Well, great monk, are you planning to help Yuan Junzhang fight against the Tang Dynasty?"
"Don't dare! Just when the old monk arrived, he saw that the real person was trying to attack the old monk's disciples, so he was just in a hurry..."
The old monk put his hands together and looked calm.
"Actually, the old monk came here this time because he was worried about the lack of food for the Tang Dynasty king, so he specially distributed food from the temple and came to help. It was also a way of thanking the king for expelling the Turkic Tatars and restoring peace to Mayi!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Kong Qing looked at the old monk in front of him steadily, his eyes sharp, like a sharp sword, while the old monk opposite looked at Kong Qing calmly, with a calm expression.
"Excuse me, where is your food?"
"In Mayi West City..."
The old monk reached into his arms, took out a letter, and threw it towards Kong Qing. He saw the letter floating directly in the air, as if there was a hand holding it, slowly flying over and landing in his hand.
"With this letter, the real person can go directly to Xicheng to get it!"
Kong Qing held the letter in his hand and the corner of his mouth twitched.
If he hadn't seen Yuan Junzhang's actions today with appraisal skills, he would really have believed it...
An absolute actor-level figure!
"Hahaha……"
Kong Qing raised his head and laughed.
"The great monk is indeed loyal to the country, but what if the poor Taoist asks you to take down the traitor Yuan Junzhang?"
After hearing what Kong Qing said, the old monk replied without hesitation.
"The old monk naturally obeys the master's orders..."
As he said that, the old monk took a step diagonally, his body appeared in front of Yuan Junzhang in a flash, and he patted him down with a light palm.
"you……"
Seeing that the old monk really turned against him and attacked him, Yuan Junzhang suddenly became anxious and angry, and waved his long sword in his hand.
"I'll kill!"
As the long sword in Yuan Junzhang's hand fell, the golden light on the old monk's hand flashed, and the long sword fell directly into his palm.
"Daxantai, if you bring thousands of troops, the old monk will naturally have to stay out of the way, but now you only have dozens of personal guards..."
boom!
The old monk slapped Yuan Junzhang directly on the back with a seemingly gentle palm. Yuan Junzhang's expression suddenly froze, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his expression instantly weakened.
"Zhenren, the old monk has finished..."
"Dahangtai, Dahangtai..."
Before Kong Qing could answer, suddenly there was a burst of hurried shouting from outside the lobby, and then he saw a guy in scribe's uniform rushing in.
"Something bad has happened, Dahangtai. When I was teaching the children in Mayi to sing nursery rhymes about not being able to return to the Tang Dynasty, I saw that the Tang army had already entered the city. Please think of a way..."
Just when he was halfway through his words, the scribe had already seen Yuan Junzhang lying on the ground, and Gao Manzheng and Gao Manzhi standing aside. He immediately swallowed up the second half of his words.
"Sorry, I was in a hurry and went to the wrong door!"
