The rain was falling, and the street where Shuiyun Temple was located was shrouded in rain and mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
This street is called Shuiyun Street. Half of the street is owned by Shuiyun Temple. There used to be some residents nearby, but they all moved out one after another. Most of the shops that remain on the half street sell fragrant flowers.
Except for a few wine shops and teahouses, there is little business.
Because it was night, Shuiyun Temple had already closed its doors, and all nearby shops had closed their doors and windows. Looking over, only the lanterns at the door were swaying in the wind and rain.
On the street a little further away, there was a restaurant on the third floor, where people were drinking and laughing.
Unlike the first and second floors where there were some guests, the entire third floor was quiet, especially the street side, where there was not even a candlelight.
But in fact, in the largest room with the best view, there were two people sitting there, and there were some people standing indistinctly in the darkness.
Fuyin Tanping's expression seems calm, but if you look closely at his eyebrows, you can see that there is a hint of anxiety.
Under the leadership of King Dai, he dispersed his troops and quietly arrived near Shuiyun Temple.
The government officials dispersed without knowing it and gathered around Shuiyun Temple, waiting for an order to attack.
Under the protection of more than a dozen people, Fuyin Tanping and Dai Wang went to the third floor of the restaurant.
He didn't know that people outside were slowly approaching Shuiyun Temple under the cover of rain and fog, and blocked several entrances and exits of Shuiyun Temple. The people in Shuiyun Temple had long since become turtles in a jar.
But now that a stick of incense has passed, King Dai only ordered the people to surround him, but did not order these people to rush in, so Fu Yin Tanping couldn't help but be anxious.
He didn't know what King Dai was doing. He brought troops but didn't take action. What was he waiting for?
Tan Ping quietly looked at the young man sitting opposite. Although the room was dark, he could see the people nearby clearly after staying for a long time. Tan Ping did not have night blindness, so he could naturally see the young man's motionless figure and his expressionless face.
Face.
It has to be said that even if he is motionless like this, Dai Wang looks far more elegant than the people sitting or standing here.
At this time, he seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, and his calm demeanor made Tanping's anxious mood calm down a little.
Tanping watched how Dai Wang got to where he is today step by step, and he was also impressed by Dai Wang's demeanor. This kind of temperament was even more outstanding than the prince's grandson who was raised in the capital since he was a child. How could he look like someone who came from a small county?
Maybe this is the power of blood.
But relying on these alone is not enough.
It was a pity that Tanping replaced the king. When dealing with the affairs of the temple, he was afraid that no matter what he did, he would not be able to do well. Of course, it would be even worse if he did not do it. The emperor had been waiting for the result.
There was still no movement outside and it was quiet inside the house. Could it be that King Dai fell asleep accidentally?
Tan Ping couldn't help but look at it twice, and wanted to call out softly, but he didn't dare.
It was raining outside, and it was already hot in June. Although the room was large, it was a bit stuffy with the windows closed. Of course, Tanping felt even more stuffy. After waiting for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore and simply got up.
, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out on the third floor.
From here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Shuiyun Temple. The gate of Shuiyun Temple is about half a mile away from the restaurant, but the outer wall has been extended across the restaurant. There are some trees near the gate, and there are people hiding in shadows.
He said that it was the government officials who had been ambushing him for a long time.
As Tan Ping watched, the rain was still falling, and most of the sky had been covered by thick black clouds. Only a flash of lightning was seen, the ground was pale, the light suddenly brightened, and then there was a "boom" that lasted for a long time.
His eyes couldn't stand the strong light, so Tan Ping subconsciously squinted his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils shrank with the sound of thunder a little later: "That's..."
I saw that the Shuiyun Temple was originally dark, but it suddenly lit up. When the fire started, it rushed to Lao Gao. Although it was raining, the fire did not go out. There was a faint noise of people, and it was obvious that the people from the Shuiyun Temple were being killed.
Alarmed.
"Your Majesty, Shuiyun Temple is on fire!" After waking up, Tan Ping exclaimed. Looking sideways, he saw King Dai sitting motionless, still sitting with his eyes closed.
"This..." Tan Ping opened his mouth to speak in a hurry, but his eyes fell on the Emperor's Sword held by the palace soldiers behind King Dai, and he closed his mouth again.
Forget it, the Daiwang is the one who holds the Emperor's Sword and has the power to coordinate actions. If the Daiwang is not in a hurry, why should he be anxious?
Click!
Another flash of light flashed across the night sky, and then there was a thunderous explosion from the sky. Dai Wang sat as if he had fallen asleep, with his eyes closed and expressionless.
"..."
But with the second thunder, half a piece of red sandalwood suddenly appeared. As expected, King Lu's change had taken shape. Su Ziji only glanced at it, and then opened his eyes: "The time has come, let's attack!
"
"yes!"
Following an order, someone immediately conveyed the order in the darkness. In just a moment, hundreds of people were seen pouring out of their nests in the night. All of them were strong and powerful, with long swords of one color gleaming with cold light, and they rushed towards Shuiyun Temple.
The Shuiyun Temple has always been quiet. Except for some figures shaking around after the fire broke out, as if they were putting out the fire, otherwise it looked very ordinary.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of government officials rushed to the door. A few government officials behind even carried a log, which was used to knock down the door. Once the people inside did not open the door, they could use the log to knock against the door. This was even a problem for city gates.
It can be broken open, let alone an ordinary thick door?
Tan Ping breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I don't dare to disobey the heavenly soldiers in Shuiyun Temple. Your Majesty may be overly cautious."
Just as he said this, more than twenty men in black suddenly emerged from the opposite wall: "Fire arrows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows were fired. Seven or eight of the government officials who rushed forward fell to the ground, shot to death and wounded. The government officials behind him immediately slowed down.
When the governor Tanping saw this scene, he was furious: "You are so brave, how dare you resist arrest?"
Although he knew that everything might not go well today, he was still shocked by the boldness of Shuiyun Temple when he saw this arresting and hurtful scene.
How arrogant is this? How dare you openly resist the government in the capital?
Su Ziji also frowned and looked at it, thinking to himself: "Could it be a warning from the gods?"
When those government officials lurked around, they didn't even alert the guests coming and going on the first floor of the restaurant. Shuiyun Temple actually got the news in the middle of the night?
"No, even if the gods warn, they may not quickly mobilize force to resist."
"Perhaps the kings intervened?"
"You may not really want to stop me, but as long as I am not so determined and have a bad start, I can make the emperor and the court feel that I can't do things."
"Or just let me move the Yulin Guards."
Thinking of this, Su Ziji said gloomily: "Zhang Baihu."
"Here you go." Immediately, a fierce Baihu stood up and pressed his sword to wait for orders. Tanping couldn't help but look sideways. Are they going to use the army?
"Go down and supervise. Anyone who fails to escape will be punished on the spot!"
"Yes!" The hundred households were startled, and they shouted loudly, and ran down in a blink of an eye. Soon, someone shouted: "Attack immediately, your Majesty has an order. Anyone who cannot escape will be punished on the spot!"
