Chapter 879 The flood washed the Dragon King Temple
(Two in one. Let me tell you, there are a lot of things during the Spring Festival, so the time for coding will definitely be less. I will try my best to keep updating, and try to ensure updates during the Spring Festival, but the number of words cannot be guaranteed. It is estimated that it will slowly return to normal around the fourth or fifth day of the Lunar New Year. etc.
If you are in a hurry, you can save it first and watch it after the Spring Festival. Today is a small New Year, everyone eat well and drink well, and recharge your batteries to welcome the Spring Festival.)
It was already dark, and the streets were empty, but the noises, cries, and laughter still came from far away from invisible places. Several buildings were on fire in the distance and billowing smoke was rising, and not far away a woman was tearing herself apart.
Heartbreaking screams and faint laughter. A prosperous city, but now it is like hell, making people shudder.
Everyone lowered their heads and tightly wrapped their black robes, and walked towards the west street under the guidance of Zheng Nuanyu and others. Although they heard various shuddering and terrifying shouts and wild laughter along the way, they did not encounter any
Who? It wasn't until they walked two blocks away that they saw a group of dozens of religious bandits coming towards them, laughing and joking. When they saw these bandits, the women were so frightened that they couldn't even walk.
"Don't be afraid, the more afraid you are, the more likely you will be exposed." Sun Dayong whispered, and walked away first with his head held high. Others could not be as bold as him, so they lowered their heads and covered their faces with hoods and followed quickly behind.
As the two sides passed each other, more than a dozen of the other party's cult gangsters turned to look at them, causing the women to almost wet their pants. Suddenly, someone in the other party's crowd stopped and shouted: "Stop."
Everyone was shocked. Sun Dayong reached out and grasped the handle of the knife at his waist. The women almost collapsed to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Sun Dayong turned around and asked.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all covered in blood? Did something happen?" the cult bandit shouted in a deep voice.
Sun Dayong said coldly: "We are fighting hard at the top of the city, but you are happy here, so you have the nerve to ask. The brothers are all injured and are rushing back to the camp to recover."
The other party was stunned and frowned: "You are coming from the east. What kind of war can there be in the east? The officers and soldiers at the west gate have not attacked yet. Who did you fight with?"
Sun Dayong's scalp was a little numb, and there was a loophole in his casual remarks. Then he shouted in a hurry: "Also I want to ask, there are people making trouble on the west street, and we happened to run into it, can we just ignore it? You are so carefree. There is no one to support you.
If you don't hurry up and help, if there is chaos, the Holy Duke will definitely punish you."
"Oh, that's it. Brothers, hurry up and take a look. The Holy Duke said to be careful not to cause trouble in the city. Let's go quickly." The man heard the words and shouted loudly.
A group of cult bandits drew their weapons and rushed away under the leadership of the cult bandit.
Sun Dayong and everyone took a deep breath, not daring to stay, and hurried forward. After passing the third intersection, Zheng Nuanyu pointed to a dense area of houses ahead and whispered: "The house is in that alley.
Here, I hope it hasn’t been ransacked by the religious bandits.”
Sun Dayong nodded, and everyone speeded up and got into the alley. After walking less than a dozen steps in the narrow and dark alley, a small courtyard appeared on the left side in front of them. The courtyard door was closed, and everything seemed to be intact.
"That's it." Zheng Nuanyu whispered.
Sun Dayong waved his hand and said: "I'll go in and take a look, you guys stay outside for now."
Zheng Nuanyu and others nodded in agreement. Sun Dayong jumped up, climbed over the low courtyard wall and landed inside. The courtyard was in a mess, with tables, chairs and dishes scattered all over the floor. This made Sun Dayong very vigilant.
.The courtyard door is closed and intact, but the inside is a mess. What does this mean?
Sun Dayong stepped closer to the steps of the main house. The doors of the main house were tightly closed. Sun Dayong stretched out his hand and pushed gently, but it didn't move. Sun Dayong immediately realized that there must be someone in the house. The courtyard door may have been closed accidentally, but
There is no reason to lock the door to the main house from the inside.
Just when Sun Dayong was confused, the door suddenly opened with a crash, and two swords struck Sun Dayong's head and face from inside the door. Fortunately, Sun Dayong was alert and was able to react quickly and jump back to avoid it.
Passed. But the next moment, a dozen black figures rushed out of the door, and a rough voice rang out.
"Guard the hospital gate, don't let this bandit escape, we must kill him."
While he was talking, a tall figure rushed towards him, his sword flashed, and he struck out fiercely, slashing at Sun Dayong three times.
Sun Dayong swung his sword to block three swords in a row, and his wrists were sore and numb. He knew in his heart that he had met a powerful opponent. The strength of the opponent was staggering. With his own strength, he could barely block the three swords, which showed that the opponent was extremely powerful.
After the opponent struck three blows, he shouted and raised his knife to slash again. Sun Dayong suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! You...are officers and soldiers?"
"So what? Kill him." The big man shouted angrily.
A group of people swarmed up, and the weapon guy looked in front and behind Sun Dayong to greet him.
"Wait a minute, I'm not from the Qing Cult." Sun Dayong shouted.
The big man laughed and cursed: "It's too late to say no now."
"Are you... Deputy Ambassador Ma? Ma Bin, Deputy Ambassador Ma?" With the faint light, Sun Dayong recognized the man in front of him.
The big man was stunned on the spot. There was a clang, and the courtyard door was kicked open. The two guards outside heard the fighting inside and kicked the door and rushed in. Seeing a group of people surrounding Sun Dayong, they immediately rushed forward with their weapons raised.
.
"Both brothers, stop, they are not from the Qing Sect, they are officers and soldiers." Sun Dayong shouted hurriedly.
The two Lin family nurses stopped quickly. The tall man frowned at Sun Dayong and others, and shouted in a low voice: "Who are you? How do you know me?"
Sun Dayong raised his hand to wipe off the cloak on his head, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Deputy Ambassador Ma doesn't know me, but I know you. When you went to Hangzhou, you came to our Prince Liang's Mansion. I knew you then. It's just that you don't know me.
It’s just me.”
Ma Bin said in shock: "Are you from Prince Liang's palace?"
Sun Dayong smiled and said: "In the past, several brothers were recommended by Commander Shen to work in Mr. Lin's mansion. Sun Dayong, this one is Brother Yan, and that one is Brother Li. They all used to be on duty in the palace.
Currently working in Mr. Lin’s house..."
Ma Bin had a look of surprise on his face and shouted: "So you are from Brother Lin's house. Oh, this is really bizarre. Where is Brother Lin? Is he here too? It shouldn't be, isn't he following King Jin?
Have you and the young prince gone to the five counties north of Beijing to quell the rebellion?"
Sun Dayong laughed and said: "Yes, Mr. Lin has no time to come. I really didn't expect that I met Mr. Ma here. How do you say this? We can't meet each other anywhere in the world. I never expected it. Speaking of Mr. Ma
How did you enter the city? If I hadn't recognized that the weapon in your hands was the standard long sword of the Forbidden Army, I would have almost flooded the Dragon King Temple."
Ma Bin laughed and said: "No. Come on, let's go into the house and talk. Don't let those bastards hear what's going on. Lao Wang, Lao Chen, take a few brothers to take a look around. Don't just talk to each other."
The commotion alerted the bastards of the cult."
The two officers and soldiers accepted the promise and led seven or eight people to the courtyard. Ma Bin pulled Sun Dayong into the house and said: "Tell me quickly, what are you doing here? Did Brother Lin call you?" Are you here? Does Brother Lin want you to come to Yingtian Mansion to respond?"
Sun Dayong smiled and said: "Deputy Commander Ma, wait a minute, there are still a group of people outside. I'll tell them to come in."
Ma Bin was puzzled. Sun Dayong turned to the two nurses and said, "Invite Miss Zheng, Miss Qian and others in. They must be frightened."
The two guards smiled and nodded, and hurriedly left the yard and led everyone in from the Grand Theater under the wall. Ma Bin was surprised to see so many people coming in.
Everyone entered the house, covered the doors and windows with rags, lit candles, and then sat down one after another. The house was not big, and at this moment, it was packed with people sitting close to each other.
Only then did Ma Bin ask: "What's going on? Who are these people? So many women."
Sun Dayong told Ma Bin the whole story in a low voice. Ma Bin was stunned for a long time, then laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Lin really has nothing to say, so he sent someone to rescue him? I am really convinced. I guess he himself There is no way he can do it, otherwise he might have to come in person."
Sun Dayong smiled and said: "No, Mr. Lin did say that he wanted to come by himself, but he was dragged by the young prince to join the army. Then he asked me to come to Yingtian to save people. It's a pity that I haven't come to the city for several days. , I almost failed Master Lin’s instructions.”
Ma Bin glanced at the crowd, frowned and said: "You are really brave to lead these people around. If this is exposed, wouldn't they all die? Why did you come here? This is really strange. How did you meet us?"
Before Sun Dayong could answer, Zheng Nuanyu said, "You have to ask Mr. Ma why he came to my house. This house is my house and we came back to hide."
Ma Bin and others were surprised and speechless. After a long while, they said: "There is something really weird about this. This house is actually your home? We also specially took a fancy to this house. It is easy to hide in the dense alleys of residents. Unexpectedly I accidentally entered Miss Zheng's house. It's not because of evil. Some things in this world are really coincidental and bizarre. Sometimes it's not enough to believe in evil."
Sun Dayong laughed and nodded: "Yes, there is indeed some evil. By the way, why is Mr. Ma in the city? Your Imperial City Department is here on business? Are you trapped here by the bandits?"
Ma Bin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I have been kicked out of the Imperial City Department a long time ago. Now I am just a small captain of the Guard Infantry Department. Just now you called me Deputy Ma, and that is the old emperor. I am no longer the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department."
Sun Dayong was stunned, and smiled for a while: "I see, but it doesn't matter. The level of official position is not important. The key is to be happy, to have brothers who are compatible with each other, and to feel comfortable doing things. Look at this, I was once I'm on duty in the palace, so I'm still a member of the bodyguard team. Now, aren't I just a nurse in Lord Lin's palace? But I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of."
"Hahaha, that's good. I like to hear what your brother says. No wonder Brother Lin recruited you into the house. It seems that you are also an open-minded person. I don't feel unhappy at all. As long as there are a group of brothers here, I don't care. Important. Does fame and wealth mean nothing?" Ma Bin laughed.
Sun Dayong nodded in agreement and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you haven't told me how you got into the city yet. Since your Excellency is on duty at the Infantry Guard Division, you should have come with the army to suppress the rebellion this time. The army is in the city.
Why are you in the city?"
Ma Bin chuckled and said: "Isn't it? I'm not unlucky. I took on a life-threatening errand. By the way, Miss Zheng, do you have any wine at home? That's all, asking is in vain. We have been looking for a long time, you
Even the rice vats in this house were smashed, there is nothing left."
Zheng Nuanyu stood up and said: "There is a cellar in the wing. I have stored some wine and food in it, just to see if they have discovered it. I'll go take a look."
Zheng Nuanyu and several women went to check. After a while, they came out and said with a smile: "Fortunately, these thieves didn't notice. I asked a few military officers to go down and move some things out. Mr. Ma wants to drink, but we people haven't eaten all day and night."
I need to make some food. I just don’t know if it will attract the bandits."
Ma Bin waved his hand and said: "It's already dark, right? Then don't worry and be bold. The city will be attacked outside the city soon, and they won't have time to harm the people in the city. Just don't worry and be bold. You should eat and drink."
"
When Zheng Nuanyu and others heard what he said, they felt relieved. They immediately ordered everyone to prepare food and drinks. Zheng Nuanyu was an insecure person. She dug a cellar in the wing, not only to store gold, silver, soft goods, food, drinks and so on.
Yes, it was used to hide disasters in emergencies. The cellar was filled with a lot of things, and several officers and soldiers actually brought out more than ten kilograms of dried waxed lamb legs. There were also several jars of wine.
Ma Bin was not particular about food, as long as he had wine. He couldn't drink during the expedition, which had already made him suffocated. When he saw the wine, he was overjoyed. He opened the bottle, poured a bowl, and drank.
Drink it all.
"Good wine, but a bit weak." Ma Bin put down the bowl and wiped the wine from his mouth and shouted.
"Master Ma, this is the apricot honey wine that our girls drink. I don't have the strong wine you drink here. This wine is indeed too sweet and there is nothing you can do about it. There is no place to find wine at the moment." Zheng Nuan
Jade Road.
"It doesn't matter, it's better than nothing. Besides, I have to do things at night, so it's not good to be drunk. Thank you, thank you very much." Ma Bin laughed and said.
Sun Dayong whispered: "Master Ma, can you tell us now how you entered the city?"
Ma Bin drank another bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Look how many times I have asked you so anxiously. That's all. It doesn't matter if I tell you. Although this is a top-secret operation, you are our own people, so it doesn't matter.
Get up... Isn't it because the siege of the city was ineffective? King Huai attacked Yingtian Mansion for three days, but failed to capture it. Many officers and soldiers were killed and injured, so he became furious in the army. No, someone gave him an idea.
, so I sneaked into the city with dozens of brothers..."
Ma Bin began to describe what happened. It turned out that after three days of fierce attack on Yingtian, Huai Wang Guo Xu was restless. Seeing the serious losses of soldiers and horses and the ineffective attack on the city, Guo Xu had to suspend the attack and summoned the generals and counselors to discuss countermeasures.
After much discussion, someone finally came up with the idea of sending people to sneak into the city to cause nuisance, and to cooperate with those inside and outside.
This method is actually very general. In this situation, this strategy may not be effective. If a large number of soldiers and horses are mixed in before the war starts, and they serve as internal agents in the city at this moment, it should have good results. But now, Yingtian Mansion
The four cities are under martial law, the city gates are closed, and interrogations are strict. It is already difficult to sneak in manpower, let alone stir up trouble in the city. Even if a small number of manpower sneaks in, it will not have much effect.
But Guo Xu was also ill and sought medical treatment urgently. He was willing to try any method that he thought would be helpful in attacking the city. Therefore, he agreed to this method. The specific plan was to send an elite team to sneak into the city, and then the army would launch
When attacking the city, this soldier is waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the situation in the city. It is best to cause chaos behind the bandits and disrupt their defensive arrangements, or to take advantage of the chaos to intercept and kill the bandits in the city, burning food and supplies. In short, it can be
Anything that can help the siege is possible.
The problem is, although this plan has been proposed, it is a problem to send who to implement it. This is obviously a death squad, and you may not be able to come back alive if you go there. You may die without even infiltrating into the city, but infiltrating into the city is even more dangerous.
Big, that was the opponent's lair. No one was willing to take the risk. At this time, someone recommended Ma Bin to Guo Xu.
Ma Bin initially offended Lu Yanei by helping Lin Jue. Lu Zhongtian greeted Chen Bin, the commander of the Imperial City Division. Chen Bin did not want to offend Lu Zhongtian, so he kicked Ma Bin out of the Imperial City Division and transferred him to the Infantry Guard Division.
Because of these things, Ma Bin was actually unpopular in the Infantry Guard Division. The reason why Ma Bin was recommended to implement this plan was actually because no one cared about Ma Bin's life or death. Of course, Ma Bin
Bin does have some skills. The former deputy commander of the Imperial City Department naturally has some skills. Among other things, Ma Bin is known to be highly skilled in martial arts. What is needed for this mission is strong martial arts and strong skills.
Smart people.
Guo Xu didn't have any likes or dislikes towards Ma Bin. He just wanted to attack the city. Since everyone recommended Ma Bin, Guo Xu naturally believed that Ma Bin was a suitable candidate. So he called Ma Bin to assign tasks and equipped him with three people.
Ten selected soldiers with strong martial arts skills went into the city to perform operations.
Although Ma Bin knew that this job was not a good job, he had nothing to do. Disobeying military orders was not allowed, so he could only lead thirty soldiers as a death squad. They sneaked into the city from the northwest corner of Yingtian Mansion. Most of the religious bandits were concentrated.
While guarding the city in the west city, there were not many religious bandits on the other three walls. Ma Bin and his men took the risk to climb the city wall using rope hooks and successfully sneaked into the city. However, after entering the city, they found that the religious bandits were roaming around and doing evil in the city, so they forcibly recruited civilians to defend the city.
They almost found their trace. So they sneaked into a residential area, found this house and hid, waiting for it to go after dark.
It is said to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable. The reason why I chose this house is because it is an empty house and no one lives in it. This is one. The second is that this house has been invaded by religious bandits in a short period of time.
The bandits will not come again, so there is a reason for choosing this house. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that this house turned out to be Zheng Nuanyu's residence, and he actually met Sun Dayong and others, but there was something inexplicable about it.
Unexplained strangeness.
After listening to Ma Bin's words, everyone suddenly realized. It turned out that Ma Bin and others sneaked into the city to wait for an opportunity to cooperate with the officers and soldiers outside the city to attack the city. However, what Sun Dayong was confused about was that with the help of Ma Bin and his thirty
How effective can a forbidden army be? King Huai didn’t know what he was thinking. Even with an elite army of 50,000 attacking the city, these methods were still needed. This shows that the siege of the city did encounter huge resistance, and King Huai was also seriously ill.
Seeked medical treatment.
"Master Ma, I have no other intention. I just feel that it is difficult to accomplish anything with the dozens of brothers brought by Master Ma. The city is full of religious bandits. The 50,000-strong army cannot attack the city, but they come
I am not optimistic about using this method." Sun Dayong said solemnly.
