More than a hundred men in black did not pose a threat to Liu Yan.
The only injury was that Zhao Wei's left shoulder was pierced, and blood flowed down like a stream, dyeing half of his clothes red.
In the carriage, the right side of Zhao Wei's back was pressed against the carriage, and the shoulder stabbed by the sword on the left side was exposed. He kept moaning and groaning. At this moment, his originally rosy face turned pale, which was very scary. He
He grabbed the couch tightly with both hands, veins popped up on the back of his hands, and big beads of sweat kept coming out of his forehead, dripping on his face. This time the sweat on his forehead was not due to a guilty conscience, but because of fear on his shoulders.
The pain is tormenting.
Seeing this, Liu Yan immediately ordered: "Go back home!"
After hearing this, Zhao Wei opened his narrowed eyes, gritted his teeth, and said slowly: "My lord, Wei is not feeling well and cannot accompany me to the Taoist temple to pray for Mr. Mao. Therefore, my lord can send two soldiers."
Go to the Taoist temple and invite the Taoist temple master to his house to perform a ritual ceremony for Mr. Mao and exorcise evil spirits for Mr. Mao. "
After finishing speaking, Zhao Wei leaned on the carriage again and hummed.
Regardless of Zhao Wei's thoughts, Liu Yan was extremely moved by Zhao Wei.
Liu Yan thought to himself: If you don't let me down, I will never let you down!
The situation just now was extremely dangerous. If Zhao Wei had slowed down his attack for a moment, or hesitated even a little, the steel knife thrust into the carriage would not have penetrated Zhao Wei's shoulder, but would have stabbed Liu Yan to death.
Just the fact that Zhao Wei risked his own life to save Liu Yan was enough to move Liu Yan. Now Zhao Wei persuaded Liu Yan to send someone to ask the Taoist temple master to pray for Liu Yan to exorcise evil spirits. It can be said that he was loyal and courageous and moved Liu Yan's heart.
He was moved. His eyes were slightly red, he held Zhao Wei's right hand and said excitedly: "Zhao Wei, you are injured, don't talk or move around. When you return to the house, I will send someone to treat you immediately."
Zhao Wei nodded and said: "Thank you, Lord!"
Liu Yan opened the curtain on the carriage window and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as he spoke, a captain on horseback came over quickly, ran up to Liu Yan, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Liu Yan ordered: "Immediately select two soldiers who know the way to go to the Taoist temple and invite the chief of the Taoist temple to your house. The rest of the soldiers will return to Chengdu immediately and return to your house."
"promise!"
The school lieutenant clasped his fists in agreement, turned around, picked two smart soldiers, and told the matter. Immediately, the school lieutenant led the soldiers to protect Liu Yan and returned to Chengdu. This whole matter of going to pray for blessings ended up being an anticlimax and ended with Liu Yan.
Yan's execution of more than a hundred men in black came to an end, but the matter was not over because Liu Yan's goal did not end there.
…
Five miles southeast of Chengdu, Taoist Temple.
Inner courtyard, study room!
In the room, there were two middle-aged men sitting.
The man on the left is wearing a black Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, with a long beard reaching down to his chest, and a thick black bun with a wooden hairpin stuck in the bun. He sits cross-legged, motionless like a statue, but his eyes
The occasional glint in his eyes showed how extraordinary this person was.
The person on the right is wearing a black robe, with a black iron sword hanging from his waist. He has a beard under his chin and thick eyebrows and big eyes. This person is kneeling on the ground, his body straight and his thick hands
Putting it on his knees, a thick callus was exposed at the tiger's mouth. This person was the person who planned to assassinate Liu Yan in the mansion in the east of the city.
This person is sitting with a Taoist, which makes people feel very strange.
However, this is the fact.
"Brother Taoist, Liu Yan has already gone to the Taoist temple. What are your plans, brother Taoist?" The man in black robe kneeling on the right said softly, but there was a sharp meaning in his tone.
The middle-aged man in Taoist robes gently flicked his fly whisk and said: "Liu Yan comes here just to pray for blessings, to ward off evil spirits and to avoid evil, or to predict the future trend. As long as Liu Yan comes here, I will set up a separate
Invite Liu Yan to a room for a detailed discussion. Once Liu Yan enters the room, he can't help himself. Even if there are Liu Yan's soldiers guarding the outside of the room, Liu Yan can be dealt with with a little effort, brother, don't worry."
"So good!"
The middle-aged man with the sword hummed, and then said: "I will lead people to wait for good news from Brother Tao in the Taoist temple. If Brother Tao cannot solve Liu Yan, I will lead people to take action. If Brother Tao and I still cannot complete the task,
, Brother Taoist should know that the poster’s anger is not easy to extinguish.”
The Taoist said: "I have been here for more than half a year. I am familiar with the situation and can deal with Liu Yan. Don't worry."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Come in!"
The Taoist shouted, and immediately a young man wearing Taoist robes came in. This young man looked a little honest, but his smart eyes showed that he was not a stupid person. After he entered the room, he looked to the left and right sides
The people bowed each other and said, "I just got the news that Liu Yan was assassinated on the way. The two sides were fighting fiercely. We still don't know who intended to assassinate Liu Yan."
"Oh, someone actually assassinated Liu Yan?"
The middle-aged man in black robe on the right looked shocked and said: "Liu Yan killed countless people and offended countless people!"
The Taoist stroked his chin and beard, and sighed: "Hey, it was a great opportunity for Liu Yan to come here. Someone actually assassinated him. What a pity, what a pity! If no one had intervened, Liu Yan would have probably gone to the Taoist temple.
Come, we will have a chance to take action. Now that Liu Yan has been assassinated, he will definitely return halfway and not come here. It seems that the plan to kill Liu Yan needs to be changed."
The man in black robe said: "This is simple. Since Liu Yan has the intention to come to the Taoist Temple, it proves that he hopes that the Taoist Temple will solve the problem. If he doesn't come, we can go by ourselves. As long as Brother Taoist goes to Liu Yan's house to beg for alms,
Then we can try to get Liu Yan to keep Taoist brother. As long as Taoist brother can pray at Liu Yan's house, we can sneak in and take advantage of the night to take action."
The Taoist waved his hand and dismissed the young man.
He had a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Well, this plan works!"
However, not long after the young man left, another young man in black Taoist robe knocked on the door and entered the study. The young man looked anxious and said: "Master, two soldiers came outside the Taoist temple, and they claimed to be Liu Yanzhou
The soldiers from the Mufu came in in a hurry to see the temple owner."
When the Taoist heard this, he immediately stood up and said to the man in black: "Brother, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
When they came outside the hall, they saw two soldiers wearing armor and sabers hanging from their waists, exuding a fierce aura.
The Taoist bowed his head, raised the dust with his whisker, and said: "The two donors came to watch, what are you doing?"
The soldier standing on the left said: "Master Zhou Mu invites you to go to the Zhou Mu Mansion. We have important matters to discuss. Time is urgent. Go quickly and follow us to the Zhou Mu Mansion."
The Taoist's eyes rolled around and he asked: "Don't worry, the Taoist has to listen to it, but is it necessary to appease people, pray for blessings, or to ward off evil spirits, perform rituals, etc.?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
When the Taoist saw that the two of them didn't know, his mind became active and he said: "The donor didn't know something. If he wanted to perform rituals, pray for blessings, exorcise evil spirits, etc., more people would need to go together to complete the matter. If it were just an experienced Taoist,
You can't do everything, so you have to ask questions clearly."
At this time, the soldier standing on the right whispered a few words to the soldier on the left.
Immediately, the soldier on the left said: "Taoist Master, you should bring more Taoist boys with you to avoid having to return to the Taoist temple again after arriving at the Prefectural Mufu."
After hearing this, the Taoist had a smile on his face.
He clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Two donors, please wait a moment. The old man will prepare now."
After finishing speaking, the old Taoist hurried back to the inner courtyard.
About a quarter of an hour later, the old Taoist came out with nine Taoist boys. Among these nine Taoist boys, the man in black robe who had discussed with the Taoist to assassinate Liu Yan was among them, but this man had already changed into a Taoist robe and was holding a
The mahogany sword used for performing rituals, the Kan Yu, the compass needed to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil, etc.
The nine Taoist boys are all wearing black Taoist robes.
However, among the nine people, excluding the black-robed man who spoke to the Taoist, there were four who were similar to the black-robed man. These four had thick knuckles and thick calluses on their mouths. The other four were thin and wore
The Taoist robes and the way he behaves have an aura of immortality and Taoism.
When the soldier saw the Taoist coming out with nine people, he glanced at the man in black robe.
These two soldiers were veterans with sharp eyes, and they could immediately see the extraordinary qualities of the man in black robe.
He pointed at the man in black robe and said: "Taoist Master, although this man is wearing a Taoist robe, his temperament is not that of a monk. Look at the other four people. These four people have wide palms and slender fingers, and their finger joints are out of shape."
They all have calluses and are obviously martial arts practitioners. I’m afraid there’s something wrong with having these people in your Taoist temple!”
When the old Taoist and the man in black robe heard this, their hearts trembled.
What amazing eyes!
The two of them sighed inwardly, the man in black robe lowered his eyes and said nothing, while the Taoist had a faint smile on his face.
After a pause, the Taoist smiled and said: "The donor's vision is accurate, and the old Taoist admires it. As for the donor's Taoist Taoist martial arts skills, this is helpless. Now we are in troubled times, even if Yizhou is governed by a wise man like Liu Yizhou,
There are still thieves and bandits, and we have a few people who are good at martial arts, so we have to train some people to guard the Taoist temple!"
After hearing this, the soldier nodded in agreement.
After a pause, the soldier said: "In that case, Taoist Master, please!"
After saying that, the two soldiers turned around and walked outside the Taoist temple. Seeing this, the Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, waved the whisk in his hand, and followed the two soldiers outside the Taoist temple. The man in black robe looked as usual, with no trace of anything on his face.
Their expressions fluctuated. Once the two soldiers saw through the situation, they would directly kill and silence them without leaking the information.
It would be best to muddle through now.
The group of people left the Taoist temple and followed the soldiers away.
…
Hanzhong, Nanzheng, Taishou Mansion.
After the army returned to Nanzheng, they rested for a day.
The next day, Wang Yue sent someone to bring news that Yan Yan's family members had arrived in Nanzheng, but it did not attract Liu Yan's attention. This was because Liu Yan had been busy dealing with the battle between the army and Wang Can, so he ignored it.
Other circumstances within Chengdu allowed Wang Yue's people to easily take away Yan Yan's family members.
In the hall, Wang Can sat in the main seat.
Below, Yan Yan and Yan Zhi stood with their hands tied, both looking a little depressed. Because since surrendering to Wang Can, Wang Can did not pay attention to the two of them, but waited to return to Nanzheng and only now summoned them.
Two people.
However, Wang Can made the two of them depressed as soon as he opened his mouth.
