Chapter 305: A Foot For A Foot(1/2)
Chapter 305: For foot
Although the man was slick, he was not a big evil when he saw the beautiful girl making fun of her and taking advantage of her verbal advantage. Yang Ling was afraid that the irritable little princess would hurt someone. When he saw her break into the temple, he immediately followed her and advised: "Miss... please calm down, why bother with this..."
As soon as he said this, the scholar had abandoned the fan, turned his body and walked around between the two of them. He suddenly came out with his hands, grabbed Yang Ling with his left hand and Zhu Xianger with his right hand.
Although he was just holding the two men's pulse, his hands seemed to be extremely powerful. With a slight force, he made his whole body sore and weak. Zhu Xianger was so painful that she couldn't help but moan and said angrily: "You are so bold!"
The man ignored him and smiled in Yang Ling's ear: "I have long admired Lord Yang's reputation, but unfortunately, by mistake, it's not until today that we have met for the first time, and I am so honored!"
Yang Ling felt a chill in his heart: "It's bad. This is coming to me. Which enemy is this? Should the disaster in Shu be this person?"
Wu Hanchao was standing in the corridor and talking to Song Xiaoai. When he saw the adult stop talking to the princess, he stopped, but he was not convenient to stand too close, so he stood outside the distance between the two pillars. With his skills, if there was an unexpected moment, it would be enough to keep the adult safe. Moreover, it was a temporary idea to come to Zhaojue Temple, so no one would have ambushed.
Someone in the temple made fun of it, and then the princess was furious and turned around and entered the hall. Wu Hanchao also saw it. Although he didn't realize anything was going to be in trouble in his heart, he hurriedly left Song Xiaoai and chased after him. However, when he arrived at the door, he had already had a sudden change, and Yang Ling and the other two had fallen into the opponent.
Wu Hanchao was shocked and angry, and pulled his sword out of the sheath and shouted loudly: "The evil thief is bold, let go of his good lord quickly."
The scholar did not look back. He raised his legs and kicked them left and right, and the two doors were closed with a "bang" sound. The scholar laughed loudly and said, "If you want to live, you should wait outside. Whoever dares to break in has only five lives."
"Five lives? It turns out that his accomplices are still in the hall!"
Wu Hanchao stopped immediately and did not dare to kick the door and entered again. The guards on both sides rushed over and showed their weapons. The believers and pilgrims who were entering the incense rarely saw such a scene of open fire and persistence. They screamed and scattered.
The temple was suddenly in chaos, and the people were 'calling father and mother', and the monk 'elder abbot'. When they saw this chaos, a guard showed off the inner factory's waist sign and shouted sternly: "The official officer handles the case, and the idle people avoid it! Go out!"
Zhu Rangjin rushed to the front of the door, his handsome face was pale and said in panic: "Little sister! Lord Wu, what happened?"
Wu Hanchao stared at the door and said, "There are gangsters who have taken hostages by the gangsters and the princess. There are three gangsters. Don't break in. Come and surround the place!"
There are two yamen soldiers stationed in large temples like this, maintaining public order in one area. After hearing some news, they even thought it was a gangster fight. The two broke into the courtyard with great might. The leader shouted without raising his eyelids: "Official officer? Official officer is here~! Which yamen brother is taking someone to handle the case? Why don't you know how to say it?"
"Get out!" The answer was just a sudden shout. The Yamachao was furious. He had just turned his triangle eyes and a sign had been handed under his nose. The Yamachao only took a look and didn't dare to put one of his farts. He immediately "don't avoid it."
This hall is a side hall, which is dedicated to the Demon brothers holding pipas and holding umbrellas. The small hall is not big. There is no incense. There are walls on three sides, and there are only two windows on one side that rushes to the door, which are usually tightly closed.
The scholar showed his sword to force the two of them, and then tied them up on the two adjacent hall pillars. He just grabbed Yang Ling's vein and noticed something on his forearm. When he searched, he found two sleeve arrows. He was a person who knew the goods. He realized that Yang Ling had a strange belt, pressed and tugged, and a bright soft sword appeared.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the lord is rushing and entourage is surrounded by clouds. Do you still have to bring these self-defense weapons? Hahaha, there is nothing to do with someone like me!" He smiled and threw the sleeve arrow and soft sword to the other side of the side hall, not despising it at all.
Wu Hanchao shouted loudly outside: "Who is inside? Report your identity and know who you are kidnapped? Stop your weapons and surrender quickly and don't mislead yourself."
The scholar laughed and said, "Listen, brothers, if anyone dares to intrude, he will kill this dog and woman immediately!"
When Zhu Xianger heard the 'dog man and woman', she immediately glared at him fiercely, but Yang Ling looked around: "Who is there? This guy is the only one... It turns out that he is... bluffing!"
Yang Ling suddenly realized that the man was moving faster than him. As soon as Yang Ling's mouth opened, a sharp and narrow blade had already been handed into his mouth. The man glanced at him and smiled coldly, and Yang Ling immediately closed his mouth consciously.
The scholar smiled with satisfaction, wiped Yang Ling's saliva from the blade, then cut off a piece of clothes from him, put them into his mouth, and blocked Zhu Xianger's mouth as usual. The two of them stood there with big eyes and stared at each other, and could no longer make any noise.
After some discussion outside, it seemed that there was a unified opinion. Zhu Rangjin said kindly: "Brothers inside, you are arresting the imperial envoy Yang Ling and His Highness. It is a death sentence for robbing and kidnapping. What a serious crime is kidnapping these two people? I will understand. Please report your intentions. As long as you can do it, we will definitely agree. Only ask the three brothers to not hurt them, otherwise you will definitely not be able to leave this temple!"
"Haha, we understand this, and we will not mention it even if we make excessive demands. When the prince was captured, didn't you agree to the conditions of King A?"
Zhu Rangjin said in a lost voice: "You are... all the masters of the Man Yu......?" He wanted to say that he was evil, but he was afraid that he would offend these people, so he changed his words to the masters, but his heart was already cold.
Wu Hanchao and others also changed their faces. If the people inside were fleeing outside, they were the barbarians who rebelled against the remnants. Since they had come to kidnap Yang Ling and the princess, how could they let them go? Today is a difficult situation.
"Have you heard of the three monsters of Bashan? It's the three brothers that have been broken. The nine-silicon city has been broken and we have nowhere to stay. We are planning to go to this Buddhist pure land to avoid the limelight. We turn around and make a vote, and then go away from another place. It happened that the imperial envoy and the princess came to us. Hehe, I have to trouble you with this money for travel."
Everyone looked at each other. No one had heard of such a number three person. However, since they were bandits who defected to King A, they would not tell him any kindness to King A. These thieves were afraid of death. But the picture was just gold, pearls and jade treasures, and they might not really dare to kill the officials and were captured by others. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It turns out that you want money? That's easy to deal with. Zhu Rangjin breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "This is easy to deal with. You just need to speak out, just don't hurt people."
"We are a thousand gold medal in the world. If you say something, you will pour out the ground water. However, the skill of the inner factory guards is amazing. If you are guarding outside, we brothers are frightened. If your wrists tremble and accidentally hurt the imperial envoy or the princess, you will be very guilty.
"All of you land people have left this meditation temple, and there are pilgrims and monks. If there is one person left in the temple, we will kill one first. Listen. We want four fast horses, one thousand taels of gold, and jewelry."
Hearing that he didn't want the jewelry that was difficult to take off, everyone believed it a little more. Under his series of orders, Zhu Rangjin and Wu Hanchao had no choice but to lead the crowd out of the Zen temple.
The Zen temple was divided into three places, and Yang Ling and the others were locked in the second place courtyard. All the officers and soldiers retreated outside the Zen temple, and they were even more incapable of grasping the situation inside.
The scholar left the yard after seeing everyone in the crack of the door, and then he returned to Yang Ling with a smile. Seeing that this man had handsome facial features, Yang Ling had a good look, but his eyes were cold and sharp, and the smile on his face was also a bit slippery and treacherous.
He walked to the two of them, smiled and wandered around for a while, and suddenly slashed Zhu Xiang'er with a palm. Then he pulled down the rag from Yang Ling's mouth and said with a smile: "It's really a lot of trouble to meet Lord Yang. I followed you to Xuzhou and then returned to Chengdu. For more than a month, I still couldn't find a chance to start. I was just trying to get out of the way, but I didn't expect you, Lord Yang, you are traveling privately. Haha, God's will, God's will."
Yang Ling stared at him and said in confusion: "You are the one who appeared in Wangzhuxi? It's hard to have such patience for you after following me for so long. If you don't surrender to the barbarian bandits, who are you? What's your purpose?"
The man smiled and suddenly gave him a standard military salute: "Li Yi, the deputy deputy of the Datong Refusing the Capitol, pay homage to the imperial envoy, Lord Yang."
"Ah!" Yang Ling's eyes widened: "You... are you from the Maitreya Sect?"
Li Dayi smiled and said, "Of course, wasn't the order to arrest Li Yi, a man from the Maitreya cult, signed by the adults himself?"
He approached Yang Ling step by step, and the tips of both of them almost touched the tips of their noses. Then he said coldly: "I am not only a member of the Maitreya Cult, but also Li Dayi, the second young master of the Maitreya Cult whom the imperial court wanted for many years! Sir, did you not expect it? Hahaha~~~"
Yang Ling was really stunned: "The East Factory is still arresting the criminal criminals of the Maitreya Sect in the world. But I didn't know that the second young master of the Maitreya Sect also sneaked into the army early and became a general. Even if the court made up his mind to give the army a major purgatory that would not necessarily be able to list him as the target of suspicion. No wonder no senior figure in the Maitreya Sect could catch him."
"Maitreya leader Li Fuda... won't he sneak into the government and hide, right?" This thought suddenly jumped into his heart, and Yang Ling couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat.
He calmed down and said coldly: "You are really persevering. You are fighting against me in the capital, and colluding with the Tartars in Datong. Are you now exhausted? You, the dignified second young master, Chiba, came to battle."
"Bang!" Li Dayi slapped him, and his cheeks suddenly turned red and swollen. Li Dayi said in anger: "You are not the same, your soul is still dispersed, and you are ruining our major affairs everywhere? Otherwise......"
"Otherwise, Zhengde is dead now, King Ning has ascended the throne, my father is below one person and above ten thousand people, and the great cause of the Holy Church is just around the corner." Li Dayi became more and more angry when he thought of this, and he slapped again, and Yang Ling's cheeks became red and swollen.
"So what else?" Yang Ling was fired and sneered disdainfully: "You have been chasing me for more than half a year. This forbearance is really admirable. But..."
Yang Ling looked around and sneered: "After taking so long, the opportunity you seized is still not very good. Although this official fell into your hands, you are now equivalent to this official's people. How can you escape? Should you call the wind and rain or sprinkle beans into soldiers?"
Li Dayi's eyes were shining with a smug and strange light. He stared at him slowly and said: "Mr. Hong can come and go calmly from the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the capital. I, Li Dayi, are surrounded by your more than a hundred guards. Where can I go?"
Yang Ling's face changed with a slight change.
Li Dayi said proudly: "Mr. Hong Madam has you, Lord Yang, and even the gold medal of forgiveness of the land of Tong Wuji to save his sins. I also have it! Mr. Hong Madam has the help of snow all over the sky, which makes your 100,000 troops disappear in a daze; I have the help of Bashan and Shu River, deep mountains and dense forests, which is more effective than her heavy snow. Even if you are outside the mountain, what can you do to me? Hahahaha..."
He looked grim and sneered, "Mr. Yang. I want to kill you, but you and your people have to do their best to protect me from leaving. Is this ridiculous? I told the group of waste that I was trying to make money. Even if this hope was a pie in the sky, they could only obediently believe that it was real. When I arrived at the edge of the forest, I cut your head with one knife!..."
The two of them suddenly met, Li Dayi's eyes were full of cunning and viciousness, but Yang Ling's eyes were confused. He was confused, but he could not see any fear, pleading and pain.
Li Dayi did not achieve his goal of torture him and couldn't help but say unexpectedly: "Are you willing? Originally, even if you couldn't survive, at least you could let your local people kill me, but now you have to become my amulet. You don't have the chance to tell them my conspiracy. Don't you hate me? Are you willing?"
Yang Ling looked at him quietly and said slowly: "Why do you want to rebel?"
"Hmm? What?"
"I said, why did you rebel?"
"……….”, Li Dayi's eyes also became confused. Why did he rebel? As long as he can remember, his uncle and father were preaching in Shaanxi, recruiting religious believers, absorbing wealth, and preparing for rebellion. Since then, he has practiced martial arts every day. His only life goal is to rebel. But…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"If you are unsurvival refugees, if you are bullied by the government and it is difficult to retaliate. I can understand it. However, for more than a hundred years, Maitreya Buddhism has been deliberately conspiring to deceive many good people with family and career into the church with evil words and sacrificed countless lives. Why did they rebel?
If your family was in business and gentry, you would have been rich for a long time. Now you become an official and live a lifestyle, but you risk scouting your home and exterminate your family, luring good people into the church, driving the people who really can't survive, and giving them an illusory goal......What are you doing?"
"The court is corrupt, the people are poor, people are on the custody and I am the fish, so I have to rebel!" Li Dayi said furiously.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Yang Ling asked quietly without any excitement: "You said that the court is solving the problem, and I am trying my best to solve it. Don't we have the ambitions together? Why do we try every means to kill me?
If you change the court, you will be the one who serves as a knife and a slaughter, will there be no meat? Li Dayi, for more than a hundred years, regardless of the country's wealth, strength and weakness, the Maitreya religion has never given up on the idea of rebellion. Are you really for the people, for the sake of great benevolence, and for the sake of great righteousness?”
"Shut up!" Li Dayi roared fiercely, raised his hand in a mess, but did not slap it.
"Don't ask me why, haha, do you still want to pretend to be a god and enlighten me to put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha?"
Li Dayi's face twisted: "What a powerful mouth, it's a pity that you don't join the Holy Sect as a priest. The idiot Hongmao was bewitched by your sweet words and let you go, right? Haha, what's the result? The green forest in Bazhou was swept away, and the officers and soldiers entered the mountains to slaughter. I heard that the old man Cui, who had washed his hands and retired, was hit by the officers and soldiers, and now he doesn't know what to do. Is this the benevolence of the government?"
Yang Ling was shocked when she heard this. The young woman in red who thought about it but didn't dare to think suddenly jumped into her heart: "The green forest in Bazhou has been swept away, she... How is she now?"
After the Hongniang abducted Yang Ling, Zhengde was furious. He had already sent troops to sweep Bazhou. At that time, he had also drawn several villages. Yang Ling knew about this and knew that the officers and soldiers were far more powerful than when they were clearing out bandits in the past. However, he really did not expect that even the old Cui family village in the deep mountains would be uprooted.
If even Cui Ying'er's father was shot, how tragic would the battle be? How was she...? With her violent personality like fire, if her father had a good time, would she let me go in the future? But... it seems that there is no future.
Li Dayi had returned to normal and smiled proudly: "Your people are really strict in their defense. I used to pretend to be a soldier, but unfortunately I couldn't get close to your central army tent. I couldn't get to you even more at the imperial envoy's headquarters. I wanted to give up, but I didn't expect you to go out one after another and went out frequently.
After following you for two days, I couldn't find a chance to start. Today, you were on a tour in a silly manner. I saw you travel around and then headed to Beixiao. This is the only place in Zhaojue Temple, which is a good place, so I took the lead and came to wait for the big trip. Hahaha….”
"I, Li Dayi, are not sure of doing things, and will never take action. Now there are many officers and soldiers outside, looking at the danger, but even if you walk out in a noble way, your people will never dare to touch a hair of my hair, right? Lord Yang?"
Yang Ling knew that he was telling the truth. He wanted to save him the most, and the one who wanted to cut Li Dayi into pieces was his personal guards. But if the King of Shu sent an army to forcefully break into and arrest people, he would probably turn against him and guard the Zen temple to never allow one soldier or one soldier to enter.
Moreover, the King of Shu didn't have to consider it at all. They would never kill him, the imperial envoy, for such a small request. Moreover, his daughter was still there. Yang Ling even sweated from his forehead, and death was used as a tool for escape. That would be so dying with his eyes closed, but what could he do?
At this time, someone outside shouted: "Listen to the brothers in the temple. We are all ready for gold, silver and horses. We must first know whether the Lord and the princess are alive..."
When Yang Ling heard that it was Wu Hanchao's voice, he hurriedly shouted: "Hanchao...". With this sound, Li Dayi had stuffed the cloth back into his mouth, then smiled coldly, opened the palace door and walked out with a big swagger, shouting: "Look at them, put the knife on their necks, and if there is any slight movement, start immediately. I'll go and see if the officers and soldiers are tyrannical."
When Li Dayi acts, he should be careful and frightened. He must weigh the frightened birds repeatedly and not tolerate any mistakes. When he should be relaxed, he will open and close together. He will defend the enemy directly, and he will never hesitate. Among the three brothers, he is the father's father the most, which is why Li Fuda particularly favors him and is willing to take over the position of leader.
He was worried that the officers and soldiers would trick him on the road outside the temple gate or horses, so he had to go out and find out. Li Dayi was as cunning as a fox and understood the mentality of the officers and soldiers. Although he had no one to use, and Wu Hanchao was still standing outside, he just walked over like a big shot, and the gate of the earth palace behind him was just a faint look.
The "Empty City Scheme" has reached this level. Even if Zhuge Liang stood here, he would never dare to assert that there were no Li Dayi's accomplices in the hall. How could Wu Hanchao dare to act rashly?
Li Dayi walked up to Wu Hanchao, smiled and said, "Brother, my two brothers are not as good as mine. Don't scare them when standing here, go."
This was the first time the two met head-on, but at that moment, somehow, both of them felt that this person was the one who had fought with him in Wangzhuxi. Both of them looked like they had met a beast of prey, and their faces became sharp.
The two of them had a moment of confrontation, and Wu Hanchao was finally defeated, and his eager fingers slowly dropped from the hilt of the sword. Li Dayi smiled proudly and passed by him without any warning. Wu Hanchao looked at the faint door, sighed and followed behind him.
Checking the horse's golden leaves on the ground, checking whether the horse's saddle was tampered with, Zhu Rangjin and others repeatedly asked how to release the hostages, and the two sides began to bargain. The monks who cleared out of the temple were chanting the sutras with their palms in their hands: "Buzz buzz..." After so long, no one dared to try to get close to the Zen temple.
As soon as Yang Ling's mouth was covered, he struggled impatiently, but with his strength, how could he break free from the strong rope? Li Dayi's plan was quite risky. There were loopholes everywhere. The government could kill him at any time. The only way he could protect himself was the hostage. However, this hostage was the biggest weakness of the government, so this most adventurous plan became the most perfect and could definitely achieve the plan.
It can be foreseen that with himself in Li Dayi's hands, the officers and soldiers outside could only be at the mercy of Li Dayi. Although the hope was slim, they had to seize this only hope, and no one dared to force his attack at the risk of his being killed.
The government wanted to live Yangling instead of forcing him to death. He just caught a kidnapper. Even if the kidnapper was the second young master of the Maitreya cult, no one would do this deal. So, no one could save him this time, even if there were thousands of troops outside. Even if all the masters of Shaolin Wudang were transferred, no one dared to take action. He could only rely on himself, but how could he rely on to save himself?
To be continued...
