ps: Thanks to "tom27" for submitting the monthly ticket. Welcome to reading... Haha, our speed is limited, and I don't know if I can make more fuel today!
The road was difficult to travel, and the two of them traveled a long way, and finally arrived at the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty after a month and a half.
Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty is called "Khanbali" in Turkic language, which means the place where the Great Khan lives. It was built by Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, and became the city of Yanjing in later generations.[
Liu Meng had a formal road certificate issued by the local government, so he went straight to Qihua Gate in Nancheng to enter. After walking around a few streets with Zhou Zhiruo, he found an inn with excellent terrain and stayed.
This inn is located near Jishuitan. It has a spacious courtyard and faces the downtown area across the water. There are usually a lot of people coming and going in front of the inn, and it is easy to get in and out. It is just the right place for the Wudang and Emei sects who sneak in.
In Zhang Ji's secret letter, the meeting place mentioned was at Nancheng Shangfang Huacao Market.
The next morning, Liu Meng and Zhou Zhiruo put on new clothes, pretended to be young masters from a wealthy family out for fun, called two sedans, and wandered straight to the flower, bird, fish and insect market.
Dadu was the capital of the largest empire at that time, and envoys from small countries from all over the world came to see them, and speculative businessmen came in an endless stream like crucian carp crossing the river. Through the gap in the curtain of the sedan, Liu Meng saw the blond Aryan.
There are Caucasians with big noses and bald heads, Arabs in white robes, and even Kunlun slaves who are as black as ink.
After getting off the sedan in the market, Liu Meng was dressed in a blue silk brocade robe, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and Zhou Zhiruo, who was wearing a green skirt and white dress as a maid outfit, went straight to the market selling bonsai. Before he could finish the walk,
On the street, I heard someone whispering hello.
It turns out that the Ming Cult has designated this place as a gathering place, and arranged for the flag bearers and deputy envoys of the Five Elements Flag to be waiting here at all times to prevent brothers from the sect from entering the metropolis and being confused about their direction.
The person on duty today was the flag bearer of the giant wooden flag, but he recognized Liu Meng. He immediately greeted them softly and respectfully invited the two of them to a nearby restaurant.
In the dining room on the second floor, there are roasted lamb legs that are browned and crispy, red and shiny braised lamb hooves, a large plate of white cut lamb liver tips, and a pot of thick white haggis soup. After a while, the waiter brought out the neatly chopped large pieces of lamb.
White scallions, and freshly baked sesame naan.
Since the Mongolian Tatars took over the world, the diet has become more and more close to the habits of the grassland people. Even restaurants in most cities will be shut down if they don't have two specialty grassland barbecue dishes.
Life on Mount Emei was relatively poor. Zhou Zhiruo couldn't get used to eating the fishy mutton, so he only had roasted naan and tea. Liu Meng's so-called taste was as long as it was delicious. After chewing a braised sheep's hoof, Lao Jue's mouth felt like a glutton.
When he felt "chaotic", he asked the waiter to go up to the altar and burn the knives. He drank two bowls at once, took a long breath of the spicy wine smell, and sighed that he was back in the world of mortals.
While he was enjoying his meal and drink, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zhang Ji, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao walked in.
Everyone greeted each other, and when he heard that the beautiful girl next to him was a representative of the Emei sect, Yang Xiao couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Thank you Miss Zhou for feeding me at Hanshui in the past. It was too hurried to visit Guangmingding."
, please forgive me for the poor hospitality.”
Liu Meng looked at Zhou Zhiruo's unnatural expression and knew that she was a little worried when she saw that the other party was a notorious leader of the Demon Cult. He immediately held Zhou Zhiruo's hand and comforted him: "Brother Ji is now the leader of the Ming Cult. Yang Zuoshi and
King Wei Bat is a hot-blooded hero, and everyone will try their best to rescue your fellow disciples. Besides, the place where everyone from the six major sects was imprisoned was also discovered by the brothers of the Ming Cult with all their might."
Zhou Zhiruo responded softly, with a blushing face, she took out her delicate hands, stood up and bowed, saying: "Our sect has encountered a great disaster, and thanks to the loyalty and loyalty of all the heroes, I would like to express my gratitude to all my colleagues."
The few people were naturally humble, and Liu Meng smiled and said: "Everyone still wants to fight side by side, why do you do so much hypocrisy?"
At that moment, everyone sat down again and greeted the waiters to serve a few plates of vegetables. Liu Meng saw that Yang Xiao was still strictly abstaining from eating meat and fish, and asked: "Mr. Yang Zuo, now that there is a famine in the world, it is not easy to fill our stomachs, and your teaching has to do it again." To stand up against the Tartars, you must eat more meat to increase your strength. Should this vegetarian diet be changed?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ji said: "I have long wanted to do this. Our religion has been passed down from generation to generation and does not tolerate meat or wine. But now there is a famine everywhere, so we can only eat whatever we can. What's more, our first important thing today is to drive out the Tatars." Son, if all brothers do not eat meat and fish, their spirits will not be strong and it will be difficult to fight effectively. From now on, the rule of not eating meat and wine is abolished. When we live in society, we attach great importance to major festivals, and dietary taboos are only minor ones."
Both Liu Meng and the leader of the sect said so, and Yang Xiao couldn't argue, saying: "I obey." He took a bowl and scooped out the mutton soup and ate it. Wei Yixiao picked up a piece of braised sheep's hooves and said with a smile: "Blood and flesh It's most delicious, but it's a pity that it's overcooked and lacks the sweetness."[
After eating and drinking, they got up and returned to the inn where the Mingjiao lived. After retreating, Wei Yixiao took out a blueprint and said: "After nearly half a month of investigation, it has been determined that all the six major sects are imprisoned in the West City. In Wan'an Temple, the Tatars have three hundred soldiers from Ruyang Prince's Palace guarding it day and night, and there are also many Fanzi masters who obey the Tatars' orders."
Yang Xiao pointed to the drawings and introduced various buildings in Wan'an Temple to Liu Meng. Finally, he clicked on a spot and said: "There is a thirteen-story tower here. The six major sects are each imprisoned on the sixth to eleventh floors. The difficulty is that everyone has been poisoned and must use all their internal strength, otherwise it would be easy to rescue them."
Seeing that the drawings were very detailed, Liu Meng nodded and praised: "Wing Wei Bat should be the first to make this rescue!" Then he thought for a while, drew a few circles on the drawings with a charcoal pencil, and smiled at Wei He said: "We still need to trouble King Wei Bat to send capable men to stay at these places day and night, and record the changing and patrolling times of the Tatar guards."
Then he pointed at the intersection of the North and South Streets outside Wan'an Temple and said: "Envoy Yang, try to find a way to set up a store here, and prepare more common secular clothes, dry food, drinking water and various weapons as a meeting point."
"In addition..." Liu Meng looked at Yang Xiao, who was listening carefully, and said, "How many people can your sect send out this time?"
Yang Xiao pondered for a while, and Zhang Ji said: "Liu Meng is my sworn brother, and he is also responsible for the rescue of the six major sects. Yang Zuo just said no."
Yang Xiao smiled and said: "It's not that I can't trust Liu Shaoxia, but I was in a hurry and couldn't figure it out." "Currently, there are about three hundred brothers from our headquarters and the Five Elements Banner who have infiltrated Dadu, plus dozens of people from the past branch. Three hundred and fifty, I guess. There are about a hundred who are highly skilled and can fight with the monks."
Liu Meng clapped his hands and wrote down the number on the table with charcoal pen, and then said: "The people participating in this rescue are not expensive. The Wudang and Emei sects also have more than 20 disciples coming this time. Therefore, I kindly ask Yang Zuoshi to select 60 highly skilled brothers from the Five Elements Banner, form them into three teams, and spend more time wandering around the West City every day, making sure to be familiar with every street and alley."
After arranging the preliminary preparations, Liu Meng proposed to go and have a look on the spot.
A carriage was called and a few people were sent to the vicinity of Wan'an Temple. Liu Meng, Wei Bat Wang, Zhang Ji and Yang Xiao got out of the car and walked around the Wan'an Temple, deciding on a rescue plan.
Behind Wan'an Temple, there is a three-story restaurant not far away. The local Mingjiao believers paid a lot of money to rent two private rooms to serve as the headquarters for the rescue scene.
Let King Wei Bat arrange smart people to keep an eye on the road from Ruyang Prince's Palace to Wan'an Temple, and record the time it takes Zhao Min to come here every day. As for the patrol route of the patrol horse infantry, reaction time, etc. are particularly important.
heavy.
In the blink of an eye, it was ten days later.
All the intelligence collected was detailed and reliable. Liu Meng stayed up most of the night to formulate a rescue plan based on this information.
For the sake of confidentiality, it was only shown to Zhang Ji, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao. The rescue plan was then broken down into various links and handed over to the corresponding personnel for execution.
The most important step was to find a hidden barren mountain outside Dadu City, and asked Mingjiao Houtuqi to build a high-quality replica of the Wan'an Temple using simple materials. He also asked directly involved disciples of the Wudang and Emei sects, as well as Mingjiao
Sixty masters of the Five Elements Flag practiced here repeatedly.
It was not until another half month that the retreat route out of Dadu was finally opened. The corresponding carriages, fuel, oil and weapons were all in place. After checking again and again, Liu Meng and Yang Xiao finally ordered the formal rescue.
Three days later, all the participants arrived at their fighting positions. The weather was also like Liu Meng's calculation, and a strong wind blew at night.
Before the second watch, Liu Meng, Zhang Ji, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao, these four masters of light kung fu and powerful martial arts, sneaked into Wan'an Temple quietly.
Starting from the side gate on the east side, they killed all the hidden sentries that had been explored one by one. The two teams of Mingjiao elites that followed quickly seized key points, each armed with a crossbow, to firmly control this attack channel.
.
Then fourteen disciples of the Wudang Sect and nine disciples of the Emei Sect, led by Zhang Ji and Zhou Zhiruo, sneaked outside the high tower in the backyard and waited for the signal to launch a strong attack.
Liu Meng, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao led a group of Mingjiao elites and quietly surrounded the courtyard where the monks lived in Wan'an Temple.[
Hearing the snores coming and going in the courtyard, Liu Meng and the three of them showed off their skills and came to several wing rooms. They lit the incense surnamed [***] that they had prepared and blew it into the rooms. There were ten thousand people living in the more than ten wing rooms.
There were nearly four hundred monks in An Temple, and all of them were "fascinated" after a while.
A team of 20 Mingjiao elites were divided into several groups, and they ducked in with swords in hand. They only heard continuous groaning, and without half a stick of incense, all the more than 400 monks returned to the Paradise of Paradise.
The place where several national masters and guardians lived in Wan'an Temple was also under control. Liu Meng, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao joined forces to attack each courtyard one by one.
The skills of the monks from the Western Regions who were canonized as national teachers are not very high. They are only equivalent to the level of Zhou Dian, Peng Yingyu and others in the Ming sect or Xian Yutong of the Huashan sect. They are even worse than Yang Xiao, let alone the three of them joining forces.
A sneak attack? It was also the effort of two cups of hot tea. Two national preceptors and four guardian disciples were all killed.
There was almost no difference from the previously expected time. Just as the second watch of the hammer was fired, all the monks in Wan'an Temple were wiped out. The only ones left were the 300 soldiers of the Ruyang Palace and dozens of Tatar masters guarding the tower.
