Chapter two hundred and forty seventh prison visit
It is not an easy task for the army to set up camp, especially after Zhao Ran issued a strict order prohibiting disturbing the people. Fortunately, there is Jinghai Temple on Lion Mountain and a ready-made military camp on Xiangqiu Mountain, which solves most of the problems.
The remaining more than a thousand people took help from restaurants, ancestral halls, and houses of wealthy families at the foot of the mountain. For this reason, Zhao Ran also specifically asked Lu Zhiyu, the abbot of Shangyuan County, and Miao Zhu of Jinghai Temple to take separate actions to ask the heads of households where they were taking help.
, the boss made a special trip to explain the reason and express his gratitude to them for supporting Daomen in countering the rebellion.
Everyone knew that a war was about to begin. These places were actually uninhabited and had been emptied out for a long time. Lu Zhiyu and the others couldn't find anyone to thank them. According to Abbot Zhao's instructions, they left a note to apologize. Of course, the note also stated
He paid two taels of silver a day for rent, and the debt was signed by Zhao Zhiran.
Logically speaking, "It is the duty of every believer to assist the Taoist sect in quelling the rebel army" - Gu Tengjia said, but Zhao Ran made a small calculation: the money is not much, just a few dozen taels, less than a hundred taels of silver.
thing, but how much credibility will it bring to the Taoist sect after word spreads? Until now, he has not forgotten his original intention and mission as the abbot of Xuantan Palace, racking his brains to accumulate credibility bit by bit.
I really don’t know what impact this chaos in the capital will have on our credibility.
Late at night, there was still a military discussion in the Jinghai Temple, and the frontal attack was of course Yifeng Gate. In Zhang Lue's assessment, the defenders were not strong, and there was no need to "carry out repeated tricks". A dignified army would attack the dignified formation.
However, the direction of Shence Gate is managed by Luo Hong, and his task is to contain a group of defenders. In addition, a new combat direction has been added, which is the Sanshan Gate in the south. This is a temporary adjustment plan, and the change comes from the Three Thousand Battalion.
The two battalion heads of the Division - In the evening, Yan Shifan pulled the strings. The two battalion heads had already made up their minds and agreed to welcome the army into the city.
At that time, a partial division will enter Sanshan Gate and attack the main force of the rebel army amassed at Yifeng Gate to the north: nearly 3,000 people in five battalions. The purpose of this battle is to disintegrate the main force of the defenders, not even to eliminate them. Zhao Ran believes that
, what needs to be eliminated are the leading evildoers such as Zhu Xianxian, as well as the confidant generals who led the troops. Most of the defenders are actually following or blindly following.
Zhao Ran sat aside and listened, but did not interrupt. His mind was always on Yifeng Gate. According to the news he received, Jiang Gaogong, Zhang Juzheng and some casual cultivators from the Xuantan Palace Leng Supervisory Campus were pulled to the foot of the city tower.
Prepare to be Zhu Xianxian's hostage. According to Zhu Xianxian's statement, Zhao Zhiran must go to the city in person to "receive the people". Of course, after collecting the people, Zhao Ran will definitely not be able to come back.
This is a very severe test of human nature. If Zhao Ran does not enter the city, his conscience may not necessarily be condemned, but he will definitely have knots in his mind during practice.
Zhao Ran was waiting now. At three o'clock in the morning, he finally received the letter from Zhu Xianjian. It was indeed as Yan Shifan said, Zhu Xianjian asked him to go to the city to pick up people. Looking at this letter, it was actually an imperial edict.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel happy.
Gu Tengjia also read this imperial edict. Others may not be familiar with it, but he was familiar with it, and he immediately smiled: "It is said that the emperor has been placed under house arrest. Judging from the situation, it must be true. The seals are all correct, and even the signatures are correct."
They are very similar and lifelike. I heard that King Qi was good at imitating other people's handwriting. When I saw it today, I was really good at it."
Zhao Ran ignored this "imperial edict" and continued to wait calmly...
At the beginning of Yinshi, the Great Master of Xianling Palace and the Passionate Swordsman Lin Ayu came out of their place of residence and quietly went to the tower of the city to guard the military storage room of the Taoist priests of Xuantan Palace. This was originally the residence of the Yifeng Gate of the Beijing Camp.
There are more than 500 people stationed in a battalion, and now it has become a place where Xuantan Palace Leng Prison and others are imprisoned.
Lin Ayu knocked on the melon seeds and entered the courtyard. As the backbone of the Shangsan Palace, Lin Ayu has treatment worthy of his status. He can enter and leave almost all important places at will, including here, of course.
He greeted the Jindan monk who was in charge of the custody: "Water Taoist, is it you Seven Stars monks who are guarding this place?"
Taoist Shui nodded and didn't say much. Lin Ayu didn't take it seriously because of his cold temperament. Taoist Huo next to him was much easier to deal with and took over the conversation: "These criminals are very important, so Your Highness
The seven of us are specially asked to be under strict supervision. What? Master Lin is going in for interrogation?"
Lin Ayu said frankly: "Let's not talk about the trial. I had some friendship with Leng Prison back then. Seeing that he might be used to sacrifice the flag tomorrow, I wanted to reminisce about old times and it was not a waste of friendship. By the way, the two Taoist friends were injured.
Are you ready?"
Taoist Huo replied: "I'm almost healed. The battle in the fishing village on the riverside was really dangerous. I almost lost my life."
Lin Ayu's curiosity aroused: "I heard that your fellow disciples, Master Huo, were injured by Zhao Fei's gun? Why are you guys still killing each other before the rightful master arrives?"
However, Taoist Huo couldn't help but feel a little complacent: "At that time, there was an expert in the Void Refining Realm standing by to plot against us, using the method of spiritual attack. This was an expert in the Void Refining Realm, what else could we do? He could protect his whole body.
Retreating is the result of a desperate fight. The fact that the seven of my brothers can fight against Master Lianxu is worthy of being remembered for the rest of their lives. The experience and insights involved will never be fully realized in a lifetime..."
Lin Ayu was not present at the time and did not understand the situation, but he did not believe that the Seven-Star cultivator could "escape" from the master of Lianxu. If the master of Lianxu really took action, he estimated that the other party would probably be merciful.
This has become the boasting capital of Huo Taoists.
After complimenting Taoist Huo, Lin Ayu asked: "Why are there only two of you? Where is Juheng Mountain? Where is Zhao Feiqiang? Where are the Three Mantis Swordsmen?"
Taoist Huo explained: "There are three teams of guards, and it is their turn in the next team. They are all meditating in the back room now. You also know that we have suffered relatively serious injuries from fighting against Master Lianxu. Although it has been two months,
But they still haven't fully recovered, especially Ju Hengshan and Zhao Feiqiang. Their minds are still confused to this day."
"How long until they are on duty?"
"About an hour."
"They are practicing. If we are so loud, we won't disturb them, right?"
"Haha, don't worry, it won't happen. This place is not as quiet as in the Three Palaces, so they all set up protective talismans outside their houses to temporarily isolate the sound."
"I see, two Taoist friends, I plan to visit the prison. I have a friend who knows a loose cultivator who was arrested there. Well, he has a debt relationship. I want to go in and ask if I can collect the debt. Two Taoist friends.
Got it."
"Haha, I understand, I just..."
Just as Taoist Huo was talking, he saw Lin Ayu waving behind him, leaning on the wall at the corner and sticking his little head out, carefully looking this way.
The two Taoists of Water and Fire looked over and saw that this person looked like a child and was no more than three feet tall, so he asked: "Master Lin, this is your home... huh?"
Lin Ayu said: "This is the Donghai Sanxiu Qianxun Taoist boy. His mother is Sanniangzi, who is relatively famous on the other side of the East China Sea. This child came to the Central Plains to play. He was accidentally injured while fighting with Zhao Zhiran a few days ago. He just recovered today.
.When we went to Yuanfu Palace to rescue people, you guys didn’t go there, so you didn’t know us.”
Qianxun Taoist boy came closer, stretched out his hand to say hello to the two Taoists of Water and Fire: "You two Taoists are friendly."
Both the water and fire Taoists lowered their heads, and the fire Taoist smiled and said, "Little friend."
The waterman didn't say anything, but his eyes softened a lot and he nodded.
