Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 131 Unable to hold back
There was a sound of "bang", and a vermilion lacquered door was roughly kicked open.A Tingwei officer in official uniform, leading a group of forbidden troops, broke into the mansion suddenly.

Holding the official document issued by Tingwei's mansion, the head officer shouted loudly:

"Rong Zhe, the envoy of Yushitai, is involved in a major treason case, and he is ordered to arrest and interrogate, but anyone who resists and refuses to comply will be shot to death!"

Amidst the loud cries and cries in the mansion, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army escorted all the people in the mansion to Ting Wei's mansion for interrogation.

Seeing the menacing force, the imperial guards who escorted the prisoner to Tingwei's Mansion, and the people in Zhongqing City, couldn't avoid it.

At the well beside Shijing Street, there are a group of middle-aged women washing clothes.

One of the women put down the clothes in her hands, stretched her neck, looked at the imperial guards escorting the prisoner on the street in the distance, couldn't help being speechless, and said:
"What's wrong with this? Martial law has just been introduced in the capital, why are there so many soldiers dispatched?"

Immediately, a woman who was washing clothes spoke in agreement:

"Who knows, some time ago the grand master went crazy and arrested people everywhere, and then heard that His Majesty took action to arrest several high-ranking officials. Afterwards, the Xia Kingdom and the Li Dynasty invaded, and the capital was under martial law. It has only been a few days in peace now. Ah, what happened again?"

"Who said no!"

"Second Primary School of the Yang family, you have been walking around all day, do you know what happened?" Another woman asked, looking at the young ranger sitting beside her.

Another woman shook her head repeatedly and said:
"Hey, what are you asking him for! He knows about the affairs of his neighbors, but you see that the imperial army has been dispatched, it must be a big deal, what can he know?"

Serious martial arts practitioners don't have the habit of calling themselves knight-errants.

A knight-errant generally refers to someone who has learned a little bit of martial arts, but can't get on the stage.Walking the streets and alleys every day, hanging out in the market, doing nothing.

This kind of person walks in the field, and many things in the market are clearest.Generally, when something happens, the government servants will inform a few words, so they know more than ordinary people.

But the soldiers and horses dispatched in front of them are guarding the forbidden army in the palace, if a little gangster wants to know what's going on, it would be a bit embarrassing.

But I didn't expect that the ranger surnamed Yang heard the words, but got up and glanced at the woman who was talking, with a slight smug face, he said:

"I may not know anything else, but if this is the case, I really know a little bit!"

These women, apart from doing housework every day, just like to gossip around.At this time, when he heard that the young ranger knew what was going on, a woman smiled and said:
"If you know, tell me and listen!"

"That's right, let's hear it!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, You Xia'er suddenly regained his spirits, and said with a hint of show off:
"You don't know that when His Majesty returned to the court yesterday, there were ministers with ulterior motives in the court who colluded with the rebels and intended to cause chaos. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Tingwei Mansion to investigate the matter thoroughly. These forbidden troops were caught in collusion with the rebels. Minister. Just wait and see, I’m afraid you will see such battles these days!"

All the women shook their heads when they heard the words, saying:
"Our Majesty, you just exempted us from taxes yesterday. What a good emperor you are. Why do people want to make trouble?"

"Yes, and I heard that although our Majesty is young, he is very powerful! Li Dynasty and Xia Kingdom next door, but he personally led the troops to repel them."

Hearing this, the young ranger looked around subconsciously, coughed lightly, lowered his voice, and said:
"Some things, I heard some things from my elder brother. I only tell you a few, you must not go out and spread it!"

The women's eyes lit up, and they nodded quickly:
"Okay, say it!"

"Yeah, we definitely don't spread the word."

The young ranger lowered his voice and said:

"I heard that those traitors who lurked in all had their heads shaved!"

All the women opened their eyes when they heard the words, and shook their heads one after another:
"Don't talk nonsense!"

"That's right, you are ruining the reputation of the masters!"

"Second Xiao of the Yang family, your mother worshiped the Buddha back then, but she was very devout. You talk nonsense, be careful that your mother dreams of you at night, and she will settle accounts with you!"

Seeing that all the women didn't believe him, the young ranger frowned, and said with some displeasure on his face:

"Why don't you believe me? This matter is absolutely true. My brothers saw it clearly at the beginning! Those thieves wanted to attack Shangshutai, and then they were all surrounded by the forbidden army and shot to death. ! They can see clearly, all of them have big bald heads with burns and scars!"

At the beginning of the founding of the Yun Kingdom, many ethnic groups were mixed and conflicts occurred frequently.

In order to maintain the stability of the country, the Emperor Taizu of the Yun Kingdom publicized the Buddhism that had just been introduced from Tianzhu at that time, and eased many conflicts within the Yun Kingdom with Buddhist scriptures.In this way, there will be a 600-year-long Guozuo of the Yun Kingdom.

Just like this, it also forged Buddhism, its unparalleled influence among the people of Yunguo.

Even the women who are washing clothes in front of them have statues of Buddha enshrined in most of their homes.

At this time, the young ranger's few words, trying to convince them that the rebel is a monk, is really difficult.

"Your friend must have misread it!"

"That is, the current emperor is a good emperor, there is no reason, why are the masters rebelling!"

The young ranger's face flushed slightly, and he said anxiously:

"It's true! If you don't believe me, just go to Tingwei's gate and you will know! There are too many corpses, so they are now placed in the courtyard of Tingwei's mansion. The row of big bald heads is very conspicuous." !"

A group of women still have some disbelief.But he couldn't stand the young ranger's positive attitude, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

In this way, the news that some rebels suspected of being monks colluded with the ministers of the DPRK and China, intending to rebel and plot rebellion, but they were found out, and under the impetus of those who were interested, spread throughout the entire Zhongqing City in just half a day.

Firstly, the common people didn't believe that the monks in the temple would rebel, and secondly, it was also because Xiao Cheng's prestige among the people was very high, so the news spread very fast, and the city was full of disturbances.

In Ganye Temple, the monks who received the news couldn't help but fell silent.

Only Hui Chi was the most anxious, and almost jumped on the spot, saying:

"You still don't believe me! When he forced the mage to send out monks and soldiers, Xiao Cheng used this trick to spread rumors in the city and shake the foundation of my Buddhism. Tomorrow is the three-day deadline, and the mage is only afraid of bad luck. If you don't leave, Xiao Cheng's knife will be on everyone's necks!"

Seeing Hui Chi's panic, all the monks looked at each other, speechless.

Only monk Huixing, the most decisive person, immediately opened his mouth and said:

"I can't wait any longer. What the abbot said is not completely unreasonable. Tonight, he created chaos, arranged for the disciples in the temple to leave, scattered into temples in various places, and waited for the opportunity!"

A group of monks heard the words and said in unison:

"Brother Huixing please give me instructions!"

Monk Huixing took a deep breath, with firm eyes, and said:
"Although the soldiers left by the emperor are elite, they are not many in number, and it is difficult to seal off the entire Ganye Temple. I just need to get rid of the young general who is the leader, so that he has no orders from the general. I will create chaos again, the monks in the temple It is extremely feasible for everyone to escape separately!"

One of the monks heard this and couldn't help saying:
"It's just that, if the little emperor continues to pursue it, what should we do?"

Monk Huixing shook his head when he heard the words, and said:
"The emperor wants to get rid of my Buddhist sect quickly, but he is definitely not a fool. He knows the influence of my Buddhist sect among the people, so he will not turn his face completely. Even if he wants to destroy my Ganye Temple, the emperor will wait for me first, Slander them as bandits and villains, and let us draw a clear line with Buddhism. Besides, we killed the mage, so we can destroy it openly."

Monk Huixing paused, then continued:
"So as long as I leave Ganye Temple and take refuge in other temples, even if the emperor wants to chase him down, he will be concerned about the influence of Buddhism and give up!"

Hui Chi on the side heard the words, his face showed excitement, he nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, that's it!"

Many monks looked at each other, showing firmness, saluted Monk Huixing, and said in unison:
"Follow my brother's orders!"
-
Di Qing looked up at the already dark sky, feeling a little uneasy.He got up and put on his armor, and personally checked the security situation of the main roads on the mountain. After confirming that there were no loopholes, he was relieved.

"Captain, don't worry, the brothers are counted!" The soldier in charge of security couldn't help but said when he saw Di Qing running over at this time.

The timing of Di Qing's arrival was unlucky, the war was over, and there was no chance of making meritorious service.Even though Xiao Cheng knew his ability, but for the sake of the military system and to protect Di Qing from being squeezed out by the soldiers, he was only given the post of captain.

When Di Qing heard this, his handsome face was still serious, he shook his head and said:

"If there is a mistake in the matter that His Majesty personally explained, we will die in vain and cannot escape the blame! So be careful, and there will never be any mistakes. You are responsible for guarding the main road, and you must be careful. After all, in the Ganye Temple The people of the country are no better than the soldiers of the enemy country."

When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately cupped their hands and said:

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, a flame suddenly ignited in the Ganye Temple, and then grew rapidly, gradually becoming a huge fire, which was extremely conspicuous in this night.

Di Qing turned his head abruptly, looked at the Ganye Temple which was on fire in the distance, frowned suddenly, and said in a deep voice:
"This fire should have been set by themselves!"

When the soldiers heard the words, they were shocked immediately and cheered up:
"These monks are not good people, as expected, they still can't bear it. The captain quickly summoned his men and went up the mountain to flatten the Ganye Temple!"

These soldiers all followed Xiao Cheng into the Xia Kingdom, and they were extremely convinced and respectful of Xiao Cheng.So they who watched old monk Huikai attack Xiao Cheng with their own eyes, and the monks of Ganye Temple, have long since lost their original respect.

At this time, the Ganye Temple started to fight, and their first reaction was that they were excited about the military exploits they were about to obtain.

Di Qing heard this, but frowned and said:

"Don't be in a hurry! Re-arm your defenses and call out a hundred cavalry to go up the mountain! Be careful not to be careless, in case someone runs away during the period. Your Majesty told me to guard this place, so I must not be careless!"

Hundreds of cavalry were going to block the roads up and down the Ganye Temple, and there were not too many manpower.Therefore, if 100 people are transferred, the defense must be rearranged.

When the soldiers heard the words, they should first bow their hands.Then he couldn't help hesitating for a while, pointing to the burning Ganye Temple in front of him, and said:
"The Ganye Temple is now, do you want to let it go?"

Di Qing shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"I'll go and have a look first. After you have deployed your defenses, come and look for me!"

As soon as the words fell, Di Qing's feet became quicker, and his figure was as fast as a galloping horse, galloping towards Ganye Temple.But in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at Ganye Temple.

But as soon as he stepped into the Ganye Temple, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

There is such a huge fire in this temple, but few people come out to put out the fire, just by looking at it, you know something is wrong!
But at this moment, Di Qing only heard a slight sound of "咻", and a gust of wind came from the front.

His eyes sharpened, his figure rose violently, and the long-handled brow sharp knife on his back was suddenly unsheathed.With the long knife in hand, Di Qing's aura surged all over his body, and the light of the knife flickered like shining waves.

With a soft sound of "铛", a Buddhist bead was smashed to the ground.

The next moment, roaring sounds from all directions came towards Di Qing.

Countless rosary beads arrived in an instant, attacking Di Qing's vitals.

Di Qing's expression was stern, and the knife with the tip of his eyebrows was waving like the wind in his hand. The aura of the knife was vertical and horizontal, like waves on the surface of a lake.

At the same time, Di Qing's figure rose sharply, and the long knife in his hand slashed forward.The strong saber energy moved forward without hesitation, splitting the front, making an ear-piercing sound of piercing through the air.

There was a loud explosion of "bang", and the knife qi struck the ground, leaving behind several feet deep and several feet long terrifying knife marks.

A few steps behind the knife mark, the monk Huixing, who was wearing black clothes and covered his face, was firmly grasping the neckline of a monk who was still in shock.

If it weren't for monk Huixing's quick eyesight and quick hands just now, this monk would have almost died directly under Di Qing's knife just now.

Seeing that their side was exposed, several masters of the Hui family no longer hid their figures and jumped out directly.

Di Qing looked at the monks of Ganye Temple who were all dressed in black, and couldn't help but feel amused.

It's like who doesn't know these men in black, it's you!
Di Qing swung his sword horizontally, and said coldly:
"Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to go down the mountain, retreat quickly!"

How can Huixing listen to this?Standing up, looking at Di Qing's figure, said in a deep voice:
"Such a young ninth-level master is really a genius! It's a pity that he has to fall here today!"

On Di Qing's stern face, his expression became more severe, and he shouted:
"Go back, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Huixing clasped his hands together, his eyes sparkled, and his exposed skin gradually turned golden.From a distance, the whole person seems to be made of gold.

The next moment, Huixing's foot suddenly clicked, and his whole body was blasted out like a cannonball.

A heavy punch shining with golden light came towards Di Qing.

Di Qing didn't panic, and turned the long saber in his hand suddenly, the saber technique opened and closed, and the aura of the saber was criss-crossing, circling around.

There was only a muffled sound of "clang", and the long knife and Huixing's fist collided with each other, making such a strange muffled sound.

Needless to say, this Huixing practiced the Buddhist horizontal practice method, and his body could even directly withstand the slashing of a weapon.

The next moment, several masters of the Hui generation also made a move and went towards Di Qing.

Several fine iron brow-level sticks swept across violently, and with the sound of whistling wind, they attacked his vital limbs.

Di Qing turned around and withdrew the long saber.The glint of the knife lights up again, just like the ripples on the water surface, rippling.The faint mist between the mountains and forests seems to be attracted by a force, and it surrounds Di Qing.

The light of the knife flickered slightly, which was extremely eye-catching.Looking from a distance, it gives people a feeling that the surface of the lake is churning, as if something is about to come out, which makes people feel chills.

The next moment, Di Qing's eyes widened, and he slashed out with a long-handled brow sharp knife in his hand.

This is condensed by the light of the knife, or the light of the tumbling and boiling lake, as if it exploded suddenly, and the white mist condenses into a small water dragon shape, circling out.

The boundless and fierce sword light surged out behind the water dragon, carrying an extremely strong wind, which made it impossible for people to react, and it had already struck.

Several masters of the Hui generation, even though they are all masters of the eighth-level cultivation base, are powerless against the full-strength attack of the ninth-level warriors.

Only a few muffled "poofs" were heard, and all of them flew upside down and fell to the ground, dying.

But that water dragon kept going, circled and roared, and slashed at the burning Buddhist hall in front of it.

There was a "bang" sound, and wood sparks splashed everywhere.

The boundless wind brought by the saber qi, under strong pressure, can completely stagnate the raging fire.The tiny water dragon followed it up, and the heat instantly evaporated, completely suppressing the fire.

The raging fire just now was directly suppressed by this knife.

On Huixing's side, he saw Di Qing slashing out with a knife, but his footing was not stable, his body suddenly rose up again, and he suddenly attacked and killed him.

But at this moment, Di Qing turned around again in the air, and slashed down with the long knife, and the knife energy raged out, slashing towards Huixing.

There was another "clang", and the shadow of a golden bell appeared faintly on Huixing's body, and the inscriptions on it were even visible one by one.

Di Qing's terrifying saber aura failed to smash the golden bell, but pushed Huixing back a few feet.

The sound of "da da da" horseshoes came, and more than a hundred cavalry finally finished their rectification, and rushed along the wide white marble steps.

Originally hiding in secret, a dozen or so Buddhist masters who were used to defend against the cavalry jumped out suddenly when they saw the cavalry approaching.

But these more than a hundred cavalry have become a powerful army in the world after going through the Xia Kingdom's raids.At this time, the army formation is formed, and with the momentum of the cavalry's collision, its sharpness is unstoppable, especially if a dozen masters can resist it?
Under the impact of the army formation, these masters did not even perform half of their martial arts, and were either stabbed to death by spears or trampled to death by horseshoes.Several people dragged one or two knights off their horses by virtue of their martial arts, but they were quickly caught up and killed by the rest of the cavalry.

Monk Huixing's eyelids twitched, his heart flashed with cruelty, he gritted his teeth and refused to retreat, and walked towards Di Qing.

With one punch and one kick, he opens and closes, with incomparable strength. Combined with the horizontal training method that has been practiced to a high level, he is like a humanoid tank!
Di Qing kept waving the long knife in his hand, like a gust of wind and rain, slashing at Hui Xing's body, making a muffled sound.

At this time, the monk Huixing had only one thought, which was to use all his strength to delay the time so that the rest of the disciples in the temple could escape.

And at this moment, several monks with luggage on their backs ran over, and shouted in a crying voice:
"Brother, stop fighting! The army guarding the foot of the mountain is more than a few hundred people, it's everywhere, we can't escape at all!"

Huixing, who was still fighting with Di Qing, couldn't help but pause when he heard the words.

Accompanied by the crying voices of those monks, the sound of orderly and solemn footsteps with a rather chilling meaning came from a distance.

Numerous soldiers rushed up with long spears, and forced the monks who had just been sent away from the temple to come back.

Monk Huixing retreated violently, looking at all the monks who were forced back, his face was ashen.

Until this time, he suddenly remembered something.This is Yunguo, with Xiao Cheng's current prestige, would there be a lack of troops to mobilize?The reason why there are only hundreds of cavalry left is that they can't help but do it on purpose!
