The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Qingliang Mountain, west of Jiangning City, is shrouded in darkness like a monster.

Banpo Qingliang Temple is hidden among the trees, and a tree-lined road leads directly to the foot of the mountain.

Qingliang Temple was built in the Southern Dynasties, with 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings were in the mist and rain.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist monk Fayan taught scriptures and Dharma in Qingliang Temple, and asked all the monks in the temple: "Who can untie the golden bell tied around the tiger's neck?"

The monks thought over and over again, but couldn't answer. At that moment, the monk Faleng came over and said, "The man who tied the golden bell around the tiger's neck can untie the golden bell."

The person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell comes from here.

Qingliang Mountain is more than ten miles away from Jiangning. There are [-] to [-] monks in Qingliang Temple, but none of them are there tonight. Even the Buddha statue in the main hall is gone. Instead, there is a statue of Mingzun carved in bluestone with light patterns all around. .

Wu Song wears a golden hoop, his long hair hangs loose, and he wears a blue-gray monk's robe with his chest half exposed. He is standing under the statue of Mingzun at the moment.

He was reading with a book in his hand, and beside Luo Jinshui muttering something, he kept nodding and murmured something along the way.

After a while, when the night was getting darker, someone suddenly came from outside the palace gate to report something. After hearing this, the two looked at each other and walked out quickly.

At the foot of Qingliang Mountain, there were more than a hundred people, all of whom were burly and strong men, armed with weapons such as plain knives and spears, and dressed in the clothes of ordinary people. When they saw the two of them, they immediately performed religious rituals and shouted: "The best in the world is only because of the light. What joy is there in life, and what pain is in death."

Luo Jinshui nodded at these people, these are the believers in the Green Willow Village, those refugees who were taken from Huaixi to Tokyo by Zhao Tong last year, but have not been included in the Xiang army for a long time.

After these people were taken into Zhuangzi by Zhao Tun, they simply gave up the idea of ​​joining the army. They were obviously the farmers of Luliuzhuang, secretly learning martial arts, worshiping Mingzun, and secretly preaching Mingjiao in the suburbs of Tokyo.

Zhao Tong brought these people out and handed them over to Luo Jinshui's subordinates. Luo Jinshui told them that there was a big event to be done in their southward journey, and there was no need to ask more questions. Just remember that the envoys from the right and the envoys holding the banners were all here. good.

These believers naturally obeyed. They believed in Mingzun and right envoys. After all, there is no right envoy of light. They are afraid that they would have died in Luzhou long ago. How could they live such a life without worrying about food and drink.

As for the identity of the right envoy, they vaguely knew that he seemed to be an official, but they didn't know the specific official, but these were not important, as long as they could live a good life with the right envoy.

Luo Jinshui looked at these people. He knew that what Zhao Tun was doing was a big deal, but he was not as flustered as Yao Pingzhong. Noblemen and gentry were too far away from the low-level Forbidden Army like him. If you kill him, you will kill him. What are you waiting for?

Besides, they were killed in the name of the Ming Cult. Now that the Ming Cult is in full swing, wouldn't it be more appropriate to kill these big dogs?

Luo Jinshui had no pressure to kill the gentry, what he was worried about was the next thing, and that thing was really daring to do it with his head on his belt.

Zhao Tang only asked the people from Luliu Village to come, and sent Wu Song and Shi Qian to help, because the subsequent matters were so important that no mistakes could be tolerated.

The disciples of Lvliuzhuang did not join the Song army, and there was no barracks atmosphere on them, so they could not see any flaws.

However, Wu Song and Shi Qian are both from the green forest, with a strong sense of banditry. Now that they are on the front lines of teaching and learning some scriptures, there is nothing wrong with them.

The real loophole is Luo Jinshui's own family. He has been in the army for many years, so it can be said that he has learned the whole set of shortcomings of the Forbidden Army. As long as he has a little understanding of the Forbidden Army, he will be able to see his true identity.

But fortunately, in Zhao Tong's plan, he doesn't need to hide his identity, but he must be very careful when speaking, and he can't talk nonsense, or appear negligent.

Zhao Tong also told him that if what happens next is discovered, he will die without a place to bury him. Let's not talk about how miserable it will be. In short, if the mother-in-law remarries and the son changes his surname, his line of incense will be gone. .

This is what Luo Jinshui is most afraid of. For the sake of his mother-in-law and son, he has to think carefully about this matter before and after, even if he grits his teeth, he has to settle it!
He looked at the believers in front of him and shouted loudly, "Can you handle the matter that the right envoy told you?"

How can these believers have many thoughts in their hearts, isn't it just to kill those dogs and evil gentry first, and then contact Jiangnan Mingjiao? At this moment, they all shouted loudly: "The sun and the moon are bright, and the light protects the right envoy!"

Luo Jinshui glanced at Wu Song next to him when he heard the words, Wu Song nodded, and gave an order, more than a hundred people took advantage of the quiet night and went straight to Jiangning West City...

The middle gate of Jiangning Xicheng opened at this time, and Yao Pingzhong looked at the two teams going out from the top of the city with a complicated expression.

These two teams are quite large in number, one is dozens, the other is hundreds, and each is guarding a dozen or so carts. I don't know what is inside, but there is a "creaking" sound from the wheels pressing on the ground. The thing is extremely heavy, and it can be heard harshly and clearly at night.

These two teams belonged to two gentry families, and the main families were not in Jiangning, so they knew that it might be dangerous, but they were anxious to leave.

The local gentry like Wang Congying were eager for someone to take the lead, so they agreed with the two families to leave first, and sent servants to follow on horseback to investigate. Once they found no trace of the bandit army, they immediately returned to the city to report, and they all left Jiangning together.

Naturally, Zhao Tun didn't stop him from doing this, he generously ordered Yao Pingzhong to open the west gate to let the two families go out, and then sat in the Xuanfu Department, waiting for the news with the gentry.

The two families who left the city gate knew that they could not cross the Yangtze River because there were no boats, and the things they brought were heavy drafts, which might not be able to carry even a medium-sized boat, and there were many people following them.

And it is impossible for Zhao Tuo to give them boats. This is already a military matter. Maybe a family or two secretly spend money to buy them. Give?

What's more, if it is transported by boat, the carriages and horses have to be transported, let alone this night, I am afraid that it will be difficult to finish the transport in one day tomorrow. What a disaster.

Therefore, these two families were quite self-conscious and decided to go to Hongzhou in the southwest. After all, there was really no other place to go. go west.

The two families went out of the city together, and the vehicles were heavy and easy to take the official road. There were almost no other things in the dozen or so large cars, all of which were gold, silver and jewels. After searching everything, it is estimated that there is nothing left at this moment, and it is very likely that even the house will be burned down.

Except for their family members, the rest of the two gentry teams are guards, and they all have weapons. There is no shortage of knives and guns, and there are even bows and arrows hidden in the car.

They are very powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are even private soldiers below, but they just fled all the way, and they can't bring so many people, so they can only pick up some strong and strong guards.

The team walked all the way, and when they reached about seven or eight miles away, they saw dense forests on both sides, and the cool wind howled, which looked a little sinister.

Among the guards, those with Jianghu experience frowned, telling the people below to hold their swords and guns tightly and take precautions.

Those servants who came to scout the way for the gentry in the city hurriedly hid behind them, shrinking their heads and not daring to go forward.

At this time, a carriage in the middle opened the curtain, and a heavy voice asked, "What's the matter?"

The leader of the guards reported: "My lord, the villain sees that this place is dangerous, so I ask people to be more careful."

The voice was silent for a moment: "Guard Cao, hurry up and don't spare the horses and horses. If you can reach Hongzhou safely, I will definitely reward you."

The guard clasped his fists on the horse and said gratefully: "Don't worry, my lord, the villain will definitely protect my lord to Jiangxi, and I will swear to the death!"

There was an "um" in the car, and the team continued to move forward for two miles, and arrived at the corner of the official road, where there were some rolling hills blocking the front view.

At this moment, the moonlight in the sky was very white, but because the hillock blocked the view, Guard Cao just wanted to order everyone to be careful, when he heard a loud bang, many stones and trees rolled down from the hillock, crashing into the There was a scream in the team.

"The sun and the moon don't fall, only the light is there, so what joy is there in life, and why bother in death!" Suddenly a voice came from above the hill,
"Ah, Demon Cult bandits!" The two teams of the gentry immediately fell into disarray. No matter the gentry in the car or the guards around them, they were all familiar with these slogans. This was the signal that Mingjiao was about to launch an attack.

"Hurry up, protect the lord!" Cao Huwei's face changed drastically. Even though he had made preparations in his heart, he still couldn't help but panic when he encountered the bandit army.

The leader of the gentry in the carriage opened his mouth wide at this moment, his face turned pale in an instant, and his intestines were green with regret at this moment, he did not expect that the bandit army would actually kill them, and they were so close to Jiangning!
But it was too late to say anything at this time, he immediately shouted: "Go back, hurry back to the city..."

But these two teams have a lot of horses and horses, and there are a lot of gold and silver in the car, so it's not easy to turn around on the spot?Although the official road has a good name, it is actually not that spacious. It is just a slightly flat dirt road. At this time, horses neighed and people shouted, and it became chaotic.

The stone and wood on the hill rolled into the team, not only hurt some people, but also tripped the horse and blocked the road. Cao Huwei's expression became more and more ugly, and he hurriedly shouted again: "Protect the lord and back!"

These gentry guards had also undergone some training, and immediately formed a circle, wrapped the car and driver in it, and waited for the horse to turn around inside.

But at this moment, there was a sound of clappers, and arrows were shot down on the hill. Although there were not many, the officials and Taoists below were like living targets, and even a blind man could hit a few.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", the screams pierced the night sky one after another, guard Cao's eyes were red, and now he didn't even see the shadow of the thief army, and he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, or they were just scouts. , I just want to say a few more words to stabilize people's hearts.

If it's just some scouts, then the two guards can gather more than 100 people, which may not be impossible to deal with, at least they can retreat while fighting.

But at this time, the several domestic servants who followed the team to find the way in the city had already turned their horses. They didn't care whether to protect the master or not. The life and death of the two noble families in front of them had nothing to do with them.

Seeing that these domestic servants were about to run away, the guards were all moved, and they wanted to flee back, but at this moment, in the forest on the hill, under the cover of feather arrows, a whistle came out. Malay.

The sentinels didn't have any banners, but they shouted "the light is supreme, equal to the sky, kill all the darkness, and the dawn will be revealed", and rushed over with their gleaming weapons, shouting.

The leader of these people is a Toutuo dressed, burly, murderous, holding two knives, even faster than those on horseback, heading straight for the circle surrounded by the guards.

Guard Cao was riding on a horse with a steel gun in his hand. When he saw the hill, more than a hundred people rushed down. war.

He cast his eyes and saw Toutuo running fiercely with two knives, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, with a steel spear in his hand, a flood dragon came out of the water and stabbed forward, shouting: "The dog thief is so brave!"

Toutuo is Wu Song, who previously occupied Qingliang Temple according to Zhao Tun's order, he is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, in order to make things more realistic, he dressed up like a walker, seeing the spear coming, he didn't dodge it, and just evaded it.

The steel gun was heavy and fierce, and it was difficult to block it with a single sword, but Wu Song had such strength and shouted "open", he unexpectedly bounced the steel gun with a single sword, and then stepped forward vigorously, the knife seemed to be cutting lard With a swipe like a piece of tofu, Cao Huwei's head was wiped off.

Guard Cao's head flew out in shock and hit the carriage, blood spurted from his neck, and the heat poured halfway down the carriage.

Hearing the screams inside the car, Wu Song couldn't help but slashed open the car again, and saw a man in his fifties sitting inside, looking at him in horror.

Wu Song sneered, raised the steel knife in his hand, and the man shouted in a panic: "The Holy Army spare me, I will give all those gold, silver and jewels..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Wu Song stabbed him in the chest, and after he was strangled, he died beyond a doubt.

At this time, the disciples of Lvliuzhuang had already killed the guards of the gentry, throwing away their helmets and removing their armor. It wasn't that these disciples were highly skilled in martial arts, it was because the guards were desperately trying to escape. Few of them were like Guard Cao, who had the courage to attack first. While resisting, he fled in the direction of Jiangning. As for the owner's family in the carriage, and those gold and silver treasures, he ignored them.

Although the believers were originally refugees, since Zhuangzi was built, they worked hard every day, dancing with guns and clubs. Zhao Tang also found a few sword and gun manuals for them to practice. He has been on the battlefield, but now he is killing like a wolf and a tiger in a decent way.

For a while, there were endless killing sounds on the official road. Many guards were beheaded from their horses, and they were all hacked to death. The rest ran away in a hurry.

Wu Song led a few people, and dragged out the family members of the gentry in the car, stabbed each of them, leaving no one alive, and killed the corpses all over the place, blood flowing like a stream.

When he came to an exquisite carriage, there was a sobbing sound from inside. When he pulled it out, he turned out to be a beautiful girl, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a small cherry mouth. She looked at Wu Song and the others in panic, and the tears seemed to be broken. The threads flowed like pearls.

Wu Erlang didn't frown, didn't blink, just slashed down, and killed the girl, and then killed all the nobles in the carriage!

At this time, the believers who chased and killed the guards came back to report that ten or twenty of them ran away. Luo Jinshui remembered Zhao Tun's order that he needed to go back alive, so he said "OK", and then asked people to take the corpse of the gentry leader After turning his head, he escorted the gold and silver chariots and horses, and went straight back to Qingliang Mountain.

After arriving at Qingliang Mountain, I left two carts of gold and silver in the temple, and sent the rest to Niutou Mountain in the southwest...

However, those guards who escaped by chance ran frantically towards Jiangning City like frightened birds. Before they reached the bottom of the city, they began to shout at the distant city: "It's not good, it's not good, the devil's sect bandits Killed..."
