The pagoda forest near the river was left by the eminent monks of the Roufo Temple.
It not only brings together eminent monks and the essence of their lifelong practice, it is also a place where relics of great wisdom are enshrined. On top of a seven-level pagoda, a man stood there with his hands behind his hands, looking quietly at the riverside separated by a wall.
Nowadays, the Yangtze River is full of soldiers. Looking at the robes they wear, it is obvious that they are the military robes standard in Jinling City today. Because the high wall of Huiyanfeng Roufo Temple just encloses the Yangtze River outside Jinling City.
Now I don’t know why these soldiers are all outside the city. Everyone has weapons in hand and seems to be ready to attack.
Moreover, everyone's armor was in disarray, and some of them were injured. It was obvious that they had just gone through a conquest. Although it was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the wall, there was no exit here. They were holding weapons, sitting or leaning aside, but there was no tense queue.
The face of the man on the pagoda seemed unclear, but you could see that he was looking at these soldiers. Because along the Yangtze River, the resting soldiers looked like a dark group, but there were quite a few of them.
He seemed to be born and integrated with the pagoda, standing there motionless.
Docked by the Yangtze River, there were two large fighting ships, with a group of people standing on the bow of one of them. They were looking at the Meat Buddha Temple on the high wall in front of them, and they couldn't help but point. The huge flag hung on the bow of the ship, with a big Chinese character written on it, rustled in the river wind.
His face showed no emotion, and no one on the side made any noise. In fact, his teeth were almost broken. Looking at the man standing on the pagoda, he felt as if his whole body was being ignited by the anger in his heart.
That figure looked like a fairy. Accompanied by the chanting of the bells in the Buddha Temple, it seemed hazy and ethereal. Zhang's eyesight was not clear, and it was as if he was seeing through a layer of veil.
He seemed as tall as a god, but also like a king at the gate of a temple, standing there with supreme majesty. He was standing there so casually, but he gave off the aura of a high mountain.
As the sun sets, ripples appear on the river. The afterglow of the setting sun caused golden waves to appear on the river surface, which also reflected on his body on top of the pagoda, seeming to coat his body with a layer of gold.
Looking back at the soldiers on the shore in front of him, as well as the soldiers who had just retreated from the battle, Zhang Wenbiao's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.
The people surrounding him as guards were all his cronies who had followed him to support Yongzhou this time. They never thought that except for them, the rest of his troops in Hengzhou City were missing.
Not only had his old home been taken over, but he also received accurate news that his uncle Zhang Yuan had also been killed. This is really a shame and a great humiliation. If Zhou Xingfeng of Langzhou knew about it, I am afraid that his position as governor would be in danger.
This Hengzhou City is the capital for your own fortune. How many supplies and reserves are there?
In order to suppress the power in his hands, Zhou Xingfeng did not let him command many soldiers. Eighty percent of the soldiers he secretly recruited near Hengzhou received their own salaries. These things were tacitly understood, and it was impossible for Zhou Xingfeng to look at them.
If this matter spreads to Langzhou, Zhou Xingfeng may play into his heart and relinquish his power at any time.
Zhang Wenbiao felt that he was burning with anger. How many important documents were there in the Governor's Office in Hengzhou City, and the plans he had worked so hard to lay out? With the fall of Hengzhou City, he was afraid that they had already fallen into the hands of the opponent. .
When he thought of this, Zhang Wenbiao almost went crazy, but when he saw the people following him, although his face was ugly, he still maintained a moderate calm.
Indeed, no one expected that one of their layout decisions would cost such a heavy price. I originally thought that rushing to Yongzhou's aid would be able to kill two birds with one stone. Who knew that things would go against his wishes and make him completely passive.
The other party doesn't have many people in Hengzhou City, and now they have sealed four gates to hold on. The method adopted was a tricky one, but he himself had some tricks to avoid. The reasons for this cannot be explained one by one. After all, Hengzhou City is now in their hands.
His family members were all in Hengzhou City. Although the other party did not use them to intimidate, Zhang Wenbiao knew not to be fierce. This was the main reason why Zhang Wenbiao did not dare to attack with all his strength. People who do great things are not shameless on the surface, but there are also such people in extraordinary times.
The wall of the Meat Buddha Temple is only five feet, which is no less than a mountain to Zhang Wenbiao. More than 10,000 soldiers rushed over after being ordered by him, but they watched helplessly as the walls around Hengzhou City prevented them from entering.
A remote place like the Meat Buddha Temple was originally a good place to enter the city. But since noon yesterday, this person has been sitting at the Meat Buddha Temple, as if he has locked his whereabouts, which makes Zhang Wenbiao go crazy.
Although he didn't know who was in charge of Hengzhou City now, and even no news came out from the city, Zhang Wenbiao vaguely guessed that the man on the pagoda was one of the masterminds of the invasion of Hengzhou City.
With the earliest report from the military academy, Zhang Wenbiao felt that the most hateful thing was that these people who occupied Hengzhou City actually pretended to be his uncle Zhang Yuan, used the tiger charms in the army to mobilize troops out of the city, and completely controlled Hengzhou City. Take the initiative.
Zhang Wenbiao closed his eyes and understood the general idea. He knew that these people had been planning for a long time, but he actually thought that Hengzhou City was impregnable. Now it seems that it is indeed a joke. Hengzhou City is indeed impregnable in front of him, but he cannot enter the city now.
Is this considered digging a hole to bury oneself? Zhang Wenbiao felt his nose was on fire and turned his head to look at the Vulcan Sword Ouyang Xue beside him. Although Ouyang Xue is a local snake, he can be regarded as a wise man who surrendered to him relatively early. Now, I am afraid that everything in Hengzhou City will still fall on him.
The other party was able to successfully seize Hengzhou City. They must have stolen the tiger talisman they delivered to their uncle Zhang Yuan after attacking him. The specific situation made Zhang Wenbiao very angry, because the tooth general who was following his uncle ran away.
Those bodyguards were obviously afraid of settling the score themselves, and Zhang Wenbiao kept cursing in his heart. Because these people were afraid of death and fled, the other party transferred all their soldiers stationed in the city. The Hengshan Sword Sect has its roots in Hengzhou City. I just hope to get some news.
"Sir, please wait a moment!" Ouyang Xue also felt a little embarrassed. Since this group of people occupied Hengzhou City, they liquidated the forces in the city in a short period of time. The forces of my own sword sect in the city have also been completely cleared out. Now it is indeed difficult to find out the truth.
