Chapter 117 Arrangement
Tang Xiaoqi would not look down, but she focused on grasping the gap and climbed up slowly. Finally, she climbed up the cliff and reached the green grass above. The two of them lay on the grass on their backs, breathing a long sigh of relief, and they really walked around the gates of hell.
Just as Yi Xingchen was about to speak, Tang Xiaoqi suddenly waved at him and told him not to say anything.
Seeing that her expression was heavy, Yi Xingchen seemed to be listening, so he immediately followed her and heard a vague noisy sound coming from the distance. From the general direction, it should be the direction of the Taoist temple.
The two looked at each other, and Tang Xiaoqi said, "You are waiting for me here, I'll go and see."
Yi Xingchen said: "It's okay, let's go together and take care of each other."
Yi Xingchen had roughly guessed what was going on with this sound, but he was not sure, so he didn't say it out.
Tang Xiaoqi nodded and reached out to pick up a stone as a weapon, and walked forward with her waist. The only hidden weapon she had previously used, the steel needle, and there was no more, she could only use the stone as a hidden weapon.
Yi Xingchen followed her and slowly touched the woods outside the Taoist temple. When he looked over, he was surprised to find that there were many officers and soldiers near the Taoist temple, and they were iron-armored cavalry, and the sound was made by them.
Seeing that confirming his guess, Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "These bastards are here only now."
Tang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment: "Did you recruit them?" 9,w≠ww.
Yi Xingchen smiled and nodded.
It turned out that Yi Xingchen was worried about something, so he left a letter to Gao Zhugan and Dwarf Winter Melon, telling them that he had something to do, but was afraid that he would not be able to come back in time. So if he didn't rush back the next morning, open the letter and do as stated in the letter.
As a result, in the morning, Gao Zhugan and Ao Xiao Donggua saw that Yi Xingchen had not returned, so they opened the letter and found that there was a letter and a note in the envelope. The note was written on it and asked Ai Donggua and Gao Zhugan to immediately send the letter inside to Mr. Zhang of the guard command post. At the same time, they led the ten subordinates of the Jinyiwei to Yunshan Pass and wait for their next order.
The two sent the letter to the guard command post and handed it to General Zhang.
Zhang Bashang read the letter and his heart suddenly became agitated. The content of the letter reads: "After seeing the letter, immediately take all the soldiers to Yunshan Temple in the west suburbs of Xicheng. You will have important discoveries. Never ask the source of the letter from the sender, don't tell anyone, otherwise. This is the last letter to you."
What made Zhang Bar's heart beat faster was the signature behind: "The man in black in Xuantianguan."
This signature is so tempting to Mr. Zhang. It is precisely because of this signature that he led his troops to capture dozens of White Lotus Sect members, rescued the magistrate of Qingyang County, and made a great military contribution. After tasting this sweetness, he saw that the letter was written by the man in black, of course he would not refuse.
He originally wanted to ask the source of the letter Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua, but the letter clearly stated that he should not ask, otherwise, this was the last letter, which means that the black man would not tell him the relevant news in the future so that he could make contributions.
So he immediately swallowed the words he said. This man in black is his lucky star, but he must not go against his wishes, otherwise he will have no chance in the future.
Although he was wondering why the letter was sent by two Jinyiwei, this man in black was mysterious and was neither enemy nor friend to the official army. It was really hard to figure out.
He didn't ask any more questions, and took two taels of silver to thank Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua, sent the two of them respectfully away, and immediately ordered the troops to lead them to Yunshan Temple.
Before this, the 100 Maitreya church members borrowed by Yi Xingchen from Li Xuehao were already ambushed around. Because he was afraid of affecting Yi Xingchen's plan, he did not dare to get too close and just waited for him to send a signal, but Yi Xingchen had never.
When it was dark and drizzling, the people lying in the back mountain found that Yi Xingchen was supporting a woman and a Taoist in the Taoist temple into the fairy cave. After a while, the Taoist came out, but he did not see Yi Xingchen and the woman coming out.
So, the ambushed leader of the White Lotus Sect felt something was wrong, so he sneaked into the Dengxian Cave to check, but there was no one inside and no mechanism was found.
The leader felt something was wrong, so he immediately reported to the leading black-faced man. After discussing with the other leaders, he felt that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately launched an attack and grabbed the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple to ask about Yi Xingchen's whereabouts.
So, under the leadership of five leaders, these hundreds of religions entered Yunshan Temple from all directions.
In Yunshan Temple, except for the host of Kong Quanzi, his junior brother Kong Xuanzi and the monk Kong Ming, three of them have high martial arts skills. The rest of them are average or not, and they are not the opponents of these hundred elites. Kong Xuanzi and the others worked together to forcibly break out of the siege and fled in panic. The other Taoist priests in Yunshan Temple were captured by coefficients.
The black-faced man immediately forced the Taoist priests to confess to the Taoist temple, but they didn't know the secret of Yunshan Temple. Only Kong Quanzi, his junior brother Kong Xuanzi, monk Kong Ming and Taoist priest's personal servant, knew the four people who were beaten to death. Therefore, although these Taoists knew that there was a secret of their climbing to the Immortal Cave, no one could tell how to open the mechanism.
The black-faced man lit a torch and searched carefully in the entire cave, but found nothing. He had no idea where Yi Xingchen went. The Taoist priests of Yunshan Temple heard that the person they were looking for entered the immortal cave, and they insisted that the person who entered must have ascended to immortality and could not find it.
So the black-faced man ordered the entire Taoist temple to search through the boxes and cabinets, and found a lot of gold, silver and treasures, but there was no secret thought or any trace of Yi Xingchen, and he kept tossing until dawn.
The black-faced man was very frustrated and had no choice but to do anything. He didn't know whether to withdraw and report to Li Xuehao or continue searching. At this time, the spy at the foot of the mountain suddenly came to report, saying that the brigade of officers and soldiers had arrived, and the direction was Yunshanguan.
The black-faced man had no choice but to order everyone to withdraw from Yunshan Temple immediately. The captured Taoist priests were left in the Taoist temple and handed over to the official army.
When the brigade of officers and soldiers came in, they saw only Taoist priests tied to the ground, and some were obviously tortured.
After interrogating these people separately, they learned that just before, the brigade of the White Lotus Sect entered the temple. When they heard that the official army came, they all fled in panic.
Mr. Zhang was disappointed, but the White Lotus Sect appeared, but they came one step late and ran away. What a pity.
Just as he was about to order the withdrawal of troops, Yi Xingchen and Tang Xiaoqi finally climbed up the cliff and came to the outside of the Taoist temple. When they saw the officers and soldiers starting to retreat, Yi Xingchen immediately stood up from the grass and said loudly: "Brothers, wait, I am the Jinyiwei, who is the leader? I have important things to discuss with him."
Yi Xingchen held the Jinyiwei waist tag in his hand, naked and thin, and walked out of the grass. The officers and soldiers were shocked and didn't believe it. However, when they came up and looked at the Jinyiwei's tag in his hand, they were indeed from the Jinyiwei. They also knew that in addition to strong people, there were people from all walks of life, mainly for inquiries about information. Therefore, they were not surprised that when these officials saw the Jinyiwei, they naturally smiled respectfully and quickly replied that the leader Zhang Bar was in the yard in front.
Yi Xingchen said to the two thinner officers and soldiers, borrowing their clothes, and the soldier quickly took off his clothes and handed them to Yi Xingchen.
Yi Xingchen threw one of them into the grass, Tang Xiaoqi grabbed it and put it on her body, and then walked out of the grass. The officers and soldiers felt it was very strange when they saw a little girl hiding in the grass, but the Jinyiwei's work has always been mysterious and no one dared to ask.
Yi Xingchen also put on his clothes and took Tang Xiaoqi, led by the soldiers to the yard in front of the Taoist temple to meet Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang was already familiar with Yi Xingchen. He had just received the report from the soldier who ran over to report, saying that a Jinyiwei was looking for him and hurriedly asked for it. After meeting, he realized that he was an acquaintance Yi Xingchen.
Mr. Zhang Ma quickly turned over and got off the horse, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that Brother Yi is here, I wonder what's going on?"
Yi Xingchen looked around and leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: "I got the news that this Yunshan Temple is actually a black den for the Heavenly Tribulation Sect to kill money. They used the excuse of becoming an immortal to lure hundreds of ordinary people into the cave and threw them into the cave below. I just discovered that there were corpses inside. You sent someone down from the cliff with ropes, then enter from a hidden cave below, and then follow an iron chain hanging in the vertical cave in the cave to the bottom of the cave. You can see these piles of corpses, many of which have become ribs, about hundreds. Twenty or thirty of them were the old people who had just ascended to the immortal two days ago. You can ask their families to come and identify them. The so-called ascending to an immortal is a trick of deceiving people. They killed everyone and threw them into the cave.
Zhang Bar was stunned and immediately became ecstatic. If this case could be solved, it would be a great achievement. Of course, the first achievement was of the Jinyiwei, but he would have some contributions, at least he would have helped to seize the case.
So Zhang Bashang hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers to follow Yi Xingchen and the others to the edge of the cliff. Under Yi Xingchen's guidance, he found a rope from the Taoist temple and tied it to the tree. He sent more than a dozen good-looking officers and soldiers to light torches, followed the rope and entered the cave.
After waiting for a while, the dozen or so officers finally came back. They were all shocked and stuttered to report to Mr. Zhang, saying that the cave inside had piles of corpses like hills, and twenty or thirty of them had not yet rotted.
Because it involves a major case of life, this is no longer a jurisdictional area for the military, so Zhang ordered people to rush back to the city to inform the prefect and the county. At the same time, Zhang ordered people to go to the villages to find the families of the so-called immortals to claim the bodies.
Hundreds of bodies of victims were found in the cave, which was a shocking case. So Liu from Tunzhou Prefecture and Zhu from the county where they belonged to immediately took three yamen runners and rode to Yunshan Temple on horseback.
