boom!
A loud noise was deafening in the rainstorm.
The heavy gate of Daxiangguo Temple was knocked open by several huge pestle-like trees.
One of the doors was knocked down due to excessive force and collapsed inward. Then there was a wailing, and it turned out that there were many monks inside the door. He was pressed down by this heavy door and heavy giant trees. Some people spurted blood directly from their orifices, while others had no time to speak out.
Seeing the soldiers pouring into the temple like a tide, Chai Lin was already soaked while sitting on his horse.
He stared intently at the temple door that had been knocked open. As the giant tree was quickly lifted open by the soldiers, no one rushed out from inside. Even so, with a dense array of powerful crossbows prepared at the door, anyone who wants to come out and die at this moment will definitely turn into a hedgehog.
Some of them followed the gate and quickly ran into the temple. However, dense rain of arrows fell from the sky and they were quickly pinned to the ground. As Chai Lin looked down from above, he could see many monks lying on the ground and wailing.
There are monks who have just escaped inside, and there are also monks who have begun to suffer inside. You can even see some people who are in a worse situation. They have arrows stuck in their bodies and they have not been dragged away for treatment in time. They crawl on the ground trying to escape, but they are quickly caught again. Falling arrows passed through.
Perhaps because they didn't hit their vital points, they couldn't die for a while, struggling and wailing on the ground. The blood flowing out of his body couldn't stop flowing, and was instantly washed away by the heavy rain, turning into streams of red water underneath him.
Liu Guangyi sat coldly on the side of the horse, watching all this without saying anything.
As the general sent by Zhang Yongde personally to stop Chai Rong's actions, although he was not a particularly senior general in the Zhou Kingdom, he was at least a worthy commander in the Zhou Kingdom. But it seems that Chai Lin didn't lose face in the end, because the attack seemed to be doomed.
Before the heavy rain came, after Xiangguo Temple was attacked, there was still no news from the palace, and no one came out from Xiangguo Temple to respond.
Chai Lin seemed to have run out of patience. He originally planned to attack Xiangguo Temple with rockets, but ended up using a two-way attack. When the rocket that was ignited into a blazing fire formed a wall of fire around Xiangguo Temple, Chai Lin didn't even look at Liu Guangyi, and then waved his hand and ordered the attack.
Liu Guangyi's heart sank hard, because Xiangguo Temple was almost entirely made of wood. If the rocket penetrated the temple and hit the building, Xiangguo Temple would become a sea of fire within a quarter of an hour.
Of course, as the person sent by Zhang Yongde to prevent things from happening, Liu Guangyi did everything he could to delay the attack for nearly half an hour. Liu Guangyi felt that he had done his best. What's more, if you interfere too much in this matter, not only will it be bad for Zhang Yongde, I'm afraid it will be Liu Guangyi himself who will suffer.
Of course, the reason why Liu Guangyi felt uneasy was that he had other thoughts in his heart. Such thoughts could only be buried in his heart and could not be spoken to others. But at this moment, as Zhang Yongde's representative, he could no longer stop Chai Lin's actions. After all, Chai Lin came to arrest the monks of Xiangguo Temple under the order of Emperor Chai Rong. If Zhang Yongde dared to interfere with the emperor's actions, wouldn't he be telling others to interfere with the emperor's decree and be rebelling?
After seeing Chai Lin's order, the crowd immediately surged. Some soldiers shouted slogans such as arresting the imperial bandits and surrendering without killing. Liu Guangyi's brows furrowed involuntarily.
This was obviously someone's intention to make a fuss. Although I don't know what the intention was, it undoubtedly reflected that someone wanted to add fuel to the flames. Thinking of his mission and purpose, Liu Guangyi's eyes became filled with hatred.
The rockets in the sky were like meteors, and they penetrated into Xiangguo Temple in an instant.
Poof!
The endless sound of shooting and the sound of arrows inserted into objects undoubtedly tell people that this is the rocket playing its due role.
Sure enough, within ten breaths, there was smoke rising from the temple, and then there was a sound of water leaking out.
Of course, no one dared to come out to put out the fire at this time, because arrows rained down and penetrated into the Xiangguo Temple. Unless someone wants to be like a hedgehog, they will stupidly come out to block the arrow. But people are obviously not made of iron. Even if the iron is slightly thinner, they will be shot through by the rain of arrows, so they can only hide and hide, letting the rockets hit the building, and then the kerosene on the arrows will burn. A wooden building was built.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiangguo Temple was already on fire, and the rising fireworks could be seen far away in Tokyo. However, perhaps because of some kind of reminder, none of the surrounding Li Zheng or watchmen came out to call for firefighting.
After all, this was an order issued by the emperor himself. Who among the surrounding security officials and generals patrolling the city would dare to come?
Even believers who had a good relationship with Xiangguo Temple in the past could only watch from a distance and silently pray to the Bodhisattva for blessing. But looking at the growing flames and the smoke rising into the sky, it was obvious that this matter was extremely difficult to calm down.
But what is unexpected is that even if it has reached this level, no one in Xiangguo Temple has come out to deal with it. Everyone silently watched the fireworks gradually rising from Xiangguo Temple, which seemed to further confirm the imperial court's will. The monks in Xiangguo Temple had their own agenda.
Originally, some believers wanted to come and intervene, but unfortunately they saw that the gate of Xiangguo Temple was closed and did not respond to these generals. Everyone was worried that something was really going on, and eventually they themselves were involved. At this time, after seeing the fire, there was no reaction in the temple. Those who were originally interested finally gave up their thoughts.
When he finally heard footsteps coming from the temple, Chai Lin ordered the crossbow to be fired again, and in conjunction with the launch of several waves of rockets, he launched a two-way attack on Xiangguo Temple. Perhaps because the rockets had temporarily stopped, some monks in the temple had come out to check. Unexpectedly, Chai Lin gave another order at this time, which immediately caused wailing to be heard in the temple.
Because they were all the emperor's personal guards, these soldiers did not hold back after Chai Lin gave the order.
Rockets and powerful crossbow fire will soon destroy this thousand-year-old temple and kill a large number of monks.
There were also people watching the excitement in the distance. Seeing the reaction of the monks in the temple, some people guessed that there might be something wrong. No one dared to come forward to make noises. They could only watch helplessly as the building fire in Xiangguo Temple became more and more intense. The bigger it gets, the crackling and peeling sounds are endless.
Wails and shouts came from inside the temple, and Chai Lin gave warnings outside from time to time. Although he only spoke slowly and leisurely, asking the monks of the Qing Dynasty led by Xiangguo Temple to come out and surrender, these were undoubtedly the last words that overwhelmed many people's hearts. straw.
But what is surprising is that after the fire burned for less than two quarters of an hour, it started to rain, and it started to rain harder and harder!
Some believers naturally shouted loudly to the Bodhisattva for blessing, and even some even lay down on the ground and prayed directly!
What did not disappoint these people was that the rain not only fell harder and harder, but also finally suppressed all the fireworks in the sky. When the air was filled with the strong smell of fireworks extinguished, the sound of blessings from Bodhisattvas rang out everywhere in Tokyo!
Chai Lin frowned while sitting on the horse and did not move even if it rained heavily! Others didn't know the reason, but he understood that these monks understood something and didn't dare to make any resistance. I could have burned it all myself, but now there are obviously some changes!
But seeing this situation, Chai Lin didn't pause much, because since the emperor had given the order, he still had to carry it out no matter what happened!
So when he saw the gate collapse, he quietly issued an order in the rain: "All soldiers obey the order and attack the temple directly. If anyone resists, shoot and kill!"
With a shout, these soldiers poured into Xiangguo Temple one after another!
! ! !
"God has the virtue of a good life! Not to mention the ascetics who take refuge in the Three Jewels! I hope that your majesty will come in large numbers and spare the ordinary monks in Xiangguo Temple!" He actually stood up from his seat and saluted Guo Rong cautiously. Princess Wei, who still maintains her excellent appearance and plump figure, does not feel embarrassed at all in front of Guo Rong.
He didn't even give in at all because of the emperor's statement! Still looking at Guo Rong calmly, he seemed to be stubbornly insisting.
Princess Wei found out just after being personally summoned by the emperor. This time, his petition was not only made by himself and Zhang Yongde, but also by three important ministers, Wei Renpu, so he knew that Guo Rong did not want to back down on this matter!
But Princess Wei didn't want to back down and still insisted on her inner thoughts! As a devout Buddhist, she feels that the glory in her life comes from retribution! So when Emperor Guo Rong ordered to surround Xiangguo Temple, she came to the palace in person!
Looking at the graceful Princess Wei in front of her, although she is not Queen Xuanyi's biological mother, she also gave birth to a prince and a princess for King Wei, so Guo Rong has to show some respect when facing her!
However, seeing that Zhang Yongde on the side did not say a word, Guo Rong still looked over with some curiosity!
When Zhang Yongde saw Guo Rong's eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a knowing wry smile!
When he just arrived outside the palace gate and met Princess Wei, he knew that he was a little late! Thinking that he had just met Liu Guangyi in the imperial city and sent him to Xiangguo Temple to stop the imperial edict, he couldn't help but feel that he was really unfit to engage in intrigues with these people in the court!
Become someone else's gun again!
Zhang Yongde knew that he couldn't compete with Guo Rong at all, because his reaction to a simple thing was half a beat slower than his.
Not to mention the cruelty of elimination in this era, if anyone were to be the emperor, I am afraid that I would die seven or eight times. Seeing Guo Rong's thoughtful expression, I instantly understood that Guo Rong actually understood. Thinking of his recklessness and seeing Guo Rong's eyes, Zhang Yongde breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved at this moment.
"I wonder what my sister-in-law thinks?" Guo Rong's expression was relatively calm, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes. Call Zhang Yongde affectionately, just like a family member.
"Everything is God's will! Your Majesty's move must have deep meaning, and I dare not make any judgment! However, Princess Wei is well-known in Tokyo as a kind-hearted person. Since she has come forward to express her feelings to His Majesty, I hope that Your Majesty will not hesitate to express her feelings to you. How about you clear up your doubts!" Zhang Yongde, who was open-minded in his heart, glanced at the three Wei Renpu people at this time, then looked at the profile of Princess Wei and saluted Guo Rong respectfully! (To be continued...)
