Chapter 178

Someone took away more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the imperial prison, and before he could go far, he met Liu Tong's soldiers. Hong Qianhu, who was reading the book at midnight, sneered and pointed at them, "Fortunately, I met my comrades, and I never fell for you! Where did the rioters come from!"

The handsome young general smiled: "Who is the traitor?"

Hong Qianhu was a little embarrassed and shouted, "No matter who you are, erratic..." Before he finished speaking, he heard the whistle sound, and a cold arrow flew from nowhere. He was caught off guard and nailed into his arm. Hong Qianhu cursed, "What kind of hero is the hidden arrow hurting people!"

The general laughed like Yan Luo: "Not only hidden arrows, but our swords, guns, and arrows are coated with strange poisonous 'gutter oil', all poisonous arrows. Did Hong Qianhu ever notice that the wound was burning, which was more painful than ordinary wounds?"

Hong Qianhu said "Oh" and covered his arms and looked pale. He immediately staggered and couldn't sit still. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dirty villain, pay for his life!"

Before he finished speaking, the general said, "I just heard that the water from the ancient well that was extremely clean within three quarters of an hour can relieve this poison."

Hong Qianhu told him to tell Hulimengden, not knowing whether he should believe it, and was stunned for a moment.

The group of people on the opposite side had no time to wait for him. The leading general whistled and shot arrows at once! More than a dozen people were caught in the arrows. The general shouted "Kill!" Everyone rushed over, waved their swords and guns and fought. The guards who followed the Zhaozhu secretly sneaked aside and watched, without helping each other.

The soldiers and horses that robbed the officials were about 300, and they were extremely sluggish. The seemingly "people" formation was actually led by a general with a strong martial arts skill. There were a group of soldiers on both sides, each with three people, and one shot and three blades were shot in the left and right. One person on the side of Liu Jun was tore open like an arrow. The cavalry of the horse, led by the masters, was protected by two groups of horses.

At this moment, another group of people came over and blew three whistles from afar, one long and two short. The general was waving his sword to fight the leader of another Liu army patrol soldier. He never stopped and responded to a long whistle. The cavalry with Lin Hai suddenly waved his hand and knocked Lin Hai unconscious. All the lords had already believed that the soldiers who brought them out of prison were the emperor's magic weapons, so he was focused on fighting, and no one was paying attention. The general shouted: "The response has arrived! The poison on their swords is called 'Sanlu', and the throat is blocked when he sees blood-" Liu Jun was uproar, and the morale of the army was in chaos.

The other leader Liu Jun shouted: "He is talking nonsense! Don't believe it!"

The general laughed and said, "I'm talking nonsense when asked Hong Qianhu!" Liu Jun's heart sounded "splitting". The general laughed loudly, easily chopping down several opponents, while leading people to fight with the troops in front of him.

The leader opposite said in a deep voice: "You go first!" The major general nodded and took more than a dozen officials away. The men who were responding rushed over to intercept Liu Jun's way, and the two sides fought together.

Not long after, Hong Qianhu, who was watching the battle due to injury, knew that his family could not win. Although these were old soldiers, their opponents were not weak in martial arts. They were often single-on-one, and the other party seemed to train three-to-one soldiers all year round. They were all ordinary soldiers, and they could tell that their opponent's armor and weapons were much stronger. They shouted, "Go and bring reinforcements!" However, this sentence made his soldiers think that the defeat was decided, and the trace of combat power that had just accumulated collapsed.

The leader who was supporting took the opportunity to chop over the other Liu army leader and shouted: "You and the leaders are defeated, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Liu army was immediately defeated.

The leader killed for a while and blew a whistle with a turn; his men immediately stopped, retreated and left, neatly like a person. Before Liu Jun could understand, the opponent had already run away with only a scattered dust.

Hong Qianhu was stunned from the back, and was stunned for a long time before sighing: "Good soldier!" He then shouted, "Chasing! Rescue!" Everyone shouted, "There is an enemy attack--" Several people went everywhere to ask for reinforcements, and the rest slapped and chased after him.

Hong Qianhu Ben also wanted to chase after him, so he asked his comrades to stop him and force him to smash a nearby clinic to check for poison arrows.

Although the doctor was dragged off the kang, he did not dare to complain when he saw that they were military officials. He hurriedly pulled out the arrow for him. Just as he was about to apply medicine, his brother said anxiously: "This arrow is poisonous! You must rinse it with the water of the ancient well!"

The doctor looked at the arrow and carefully checked the wound, saying, "It's not poisonous, I just sprinkled some chili."

Several people were silent. Hong Qianhu couldn't help laughing: "So cunning!" Taking advantage of the doctor's use of medicine for him, he picked up the arrow in his other arm and looked at it carefully. He was shocked, "The Imperial Guard's Arrow!" Several people immediately looked at each other. Hong Qianhu stood up, "I'll go see the general!"

Several brothers held him down: "It's important to finish the medicine first!" He urged the doctor to hurry up.

The doctor hurriedly wrapped his arms for him, and several people kicked the door and got out and ran towards Liu Dong's residence.

Hong Qianhu woke Liu Tong up in his dream, apologized for being accused of being a man of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and showed him the arrow. Liu Tong was shocked, raised his leg and kicked Hong Qianhu out of the door. After thinking about it, he rushed out and asked him: "How many people?"

Hong Qianhu lay on the ground and said, "There are three hundred people in front, and at most two hundred people coming to rescue behind."

When Liu Tong was still alive, he summoned his men. Because the pursuers had run away at this moment, he had to ask from the other end of the imperial prison. When the prison guard heard that the other party had brought out the "authorous order" and was shocked! He hurriedly followed the way they escaped for a while, and the soldiers under Hong Qianhu ran over and said that the group of men broke into a temple in the south of the city and were now guarding it. They didn't have much manpower and dared not attack forcefully, so they came back to report the news first.

Liu Tong sneered: "The city gates on all sides are closed, and they can't fly!" So he ordered the man to lead the way, and lit more than 3,000 people chasing him with torches.

When he arrived at the gate of the temple, a known personal soldier reported to Liu Tong: "This is a nunnery called Zhenwu'an." The gate of the temple was closed, and there was no sound inside.

The strong soldier stepped forward and kicked the door, but couldn't move. Because the wall of the temple was low, Liu Tong ordered "Cross the wall!" Several soldiers climbed over the wall and shouted inside: "No one! A Bodhisattva crossed the gate of the temple and held it against it."

Liu Tong was shocked and shouted: "Move the Bodhisattva away!"

The few people moved the Bodhisattva to the side and opened the temple door. The soldiers hugged Liu Tong in. They saw that it was quiet inside and there was no sound. There was also no light. Everyone walked in with torches and walked out through the Main Hall. They immediately found that there was light in the side hall in front of them, so they rushed over quickly.

When he arrived at the door, he immediately heard a faint voice inside. He took a torch and there was a big iron lock across the door! Liu Tong pulled out the sword from his waist and waved it, and the iron lock fell down. He kicked the door open again.

I saw two candles lit inside, a stove of incense was offered on the incense table, and a group of sisters sat cross-legged on the ground, densely packed with my sisters. The leading sister was knocking on the wooden fish in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras. Liu Tong wanted to step in, but found that the people inside were too full and could not get down. It was obvious that this side hall was not where the nuns gathered in this temple on a daily basis.

The leading old lady put down the wooden fish and stood up, recited the Buddha's name, turned around and looked up at Liu Tong, stunned, and then clanged: "I dare to ask this general why he broke into the pure land of my Buddhist temple."

Liu Tong pointed at her and asked, "Where is your private thief in your temple?"

The old sister-in-law clasped her ten points and recited the Buddha: "It has been nearly half an hour for a group of soldiers to drive them away and lock them in this hall."

Liu Tong hurriedly asked her about her passing.

The old sister-in-law ordered the nuns to stand up and walked to the door to tell Liu Tong for a while.

It turned out that one of them led a group of soldiers into Zhenwu'an and drove the sisters out of the temple one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and then heard the noise outside, and then drove them out of each room with swords and guns, and then they were locked up in the side hall of Medicine Buddha. The sisters heard the locks outside, and didn't know what they were going to do. The sisters led them to meditate in this hall and chant scriptures, waiting for the Medicine Buddha to protect them.

Liu Tong hurriedly ordered his subordinates to search the temple, but there was no one everywhere. After another half a day, he finally found horse hoof marks and horse manure in the back mountain. However, there were all horse hoof marks and horse manure. He chased them along the horse hoof marks and found that the horse hoof was a mountain road around the back mountain! The back mountain said it was the back mountain, but it was just a small mound, and there was no place for people to hide. Five hundred riders didn't know where to go! Liu Tong was shocked and ordered the nuns to take them down and interrogate them carefully.

Asked until dawn, all the sisters were questioned separately. They were all the same, which was obvious. It was not a lie. But as they said, the one who drove the sisters to the side hall was the same three soldiers. Only one sister who boiled water in the kitchen said that those people came to her to get a pot of water and more than a dozen bowls. She saw with her own eyes a leader, who was in her twenties and handsome, with handsome eyebrows, took out a large bag of medicine from her arms, and scattered them one by one in the bowl. The soldiers next to her carried the kettle and washed the boiling water down, stirred their chopsticks, and took out one bowl of bowls. Liu Tong's men immediately found the dozen bowls in a side hall and asked everyone to take them away. Then they found a doctor with a good fortune and carefully checked the bowl. The doctor asserted that there was an extremely powerful mystery and medicine in the bowl.

The medicine cannot be used to fool their own people. Ninety percent is used to fool the dozen ministers in the court. Liu Tong felt extremely confused for a moment and couldn't figure out what the imperial guards were going to do.

Then he turned around and checked the matter in detail. The arrows left by the prisoner who had been robbed last night were collected by the prisoner who had been robbed last night were used by the people of the Ministry of Works Yu Heng Qing Literature. It was said that it was indeed used by the Imperial Guard. The prison guard of the prison insisted that the jade seal was covered with the roll of clothes. Liu Tong's aide had an idea with him, and he took out a handwriting from the palace and mixed it with several other people's signatures for the prison guard to distinguish. The prison guard looked at it for a long time and pointed to the saint and said in his own handwriting: "The handwriting on the imperial edict seems to be similar to this one." Liu Tong's face became more and more heavy.

Hong Qianhu swore again and again, the token for transferring him from the imperial prison was exactly the same as the real one! Even the copper-green on the headband was the same. Liu Tong took the real token to look at him carefully, and he said, "I only looked at it for a while, and it was very similar." He also pointed to two fine lines that were shallow, "It's also a little shallow." Liu Tong ordered people to go to the market to find a few fake antiques to ask. They all said that it was not difficult to imitate the token, but if there were even the shallow areas, the person who did it must be very familiar with this thing. Just a few glances were not enough. Liu Tong immediately suspected that there were spies beside him, and it was difficult to find out for a while. The new emperor would ascend the throne tomorrow.

He ordered a few confidants to carefully check the people around him and the side generals under him, and drove all the sisters of Zhen Wu'an out to search the temple and the back mountain repeatedly. The group of people seemed to fly away with wings.

When Jia Cong heard that more than a dozen adults had been robbed of Zhaozhu, he found out that there were two of his gentlemen inside, so he immediately rushed to the Xianwang Mansion. When he saw Situ Pan, he grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Is it you?"

Situ Pan frowned and said, "Isn't it you?"

Jia Cong said: "Where do I have that ability? Is it you?!"

Situ Pan shook his head: "It's not me. I heard that the soldiers who robbed people were in a mess and confused manner. They dared to imitate the imperial edict, but they thought it was you."

Jia Cong stamped his feet: "What's the mess I'm going to do? Isn't you? Then what about my husband? Where is my husband?"

Situ Pan said: "But I really don't know."

Jia Cong held his clothes tightly: "How come you don't know? Who else in the capital can rob people from the imperial prison? You are the saint's brother! You must have a blank imperial edict on your hand!"

Situ Pan said: "It's outrageous! Where did the blank imperial edict come from!"

Jia Cong said: "There are all in the commentary! The emperor will leave blank imperial edicts for the most important people in case of emergency. These stories cannot be groundless. It must be that there has been a real thing in the world. Don't coax me, it must be you! Just tell me that my husband is safe." As he said that, he pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Brother Xianwang~~Tell me~~I also asked to deal with Master Su's wife!"

Situ Pan smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know. Don't panic. Since they have robbed Ru Hai and left, they will definitely have something to use. It's better than being in the imperial prison."

Jia Cong stamped his feet and said, "How could it be better than Zhaozhu! At least I know where the person is in Zhaozhu. I can't guarantee that I can try to please the general to rescue him in the future. Now I don't know who can get him away, and I don't even know what to do with him! I don't know the most terrible!" Nai asked again, "If it weren't for you, would there be any clues?"

Situ Pan said: "No. Even Liu Tong didn't find any clues. I heard that it was horse hoof seals walking around the back mountain of a nunnery and disappeared. The nunnery was not far from the big mansion south of Shegong City."

Jia Cong immediately said, "Can it be Zhen Wu'an?"

Situ Pan nodded: "That's right."

Jia Cong said: "I saw their sister-in-law when I was a child, but now I can't remember what she looks like. Why did the horse hoof marks disappear? Did they disappear out of thin air?"

Situ Pan said: "I circled around the small mounds in the back mountain, and all the hoof marks went up and down the mountain."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "That means he is not on the mountain? Then why are they going up the mountain and getting things?"

Situ Pan suddenly slapped the table: "Yes! Since you have turned around, you must not be on the mountain."

"Then where did they go?"

Situ Pan said, "How can I know? Let me ask someone to inquire."

Jia Cong stamped his feet and shouted: "Go quickly and go quickly!"

Situ Pan asked him again why he had returned to the capital. Jia Cong said he was just visiting Heizi. Situ Pan had conned him for half a day and found no flaws and sent him away. Jia Cong repeatedly told him to send the letter to Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible, but Situ Pan responded in his mouth.

Jia Cong walked to the door and suddenly ran back with a "Oh" and said, "Since the imperial edict is not yours, it is naturally the saint's! Has the saint returned to the capital?"

Situ Pan was stunned and said, "If he is really a saint, his army will be more and more unhindered like the sea."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Hey, you really don't know?"

Situ Pan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Jia Cong left with disappointment. Situ Pan stayed at his place for half a day without moving.

At night, a letter came from outside. General Liu Tong ordered the throne ceremony to be pushed forward for seven days, and the Beijing area searched the traitors from house to house. In particular, they carefully checked the families with horses. However, not only did they not find out the 500 cavalry who attacked the prison on the night, nor did they find the men and horses of Li Guopei before, but they disturbed the backyard, which caused complaints from the princes and the powerful.

On the other side, when a group of imperial officials who had been robbed from the imperial prison woke up, they found themselves lying in a yard, so they pushed and shoved and got up, patted the prison uniforms on their bodies, and felt hungry and thirsty. So they held their hands to greet each other for a while, and looked around the yard. Seeing its exquisiteness and meticulousness, painted beams, a plaque hung at the door of the main hall with the words "Hengzhi Qingfen". There was another couplet, which read: "It is particularly beautiful to chant cardamom, and the dream is fragrant when you sleep."
