But on the edge of the official road known as Chongming Avenue, in the mountainside temple with winding stone steps, there was a tragic scene of fireworks and corpses everywhere. Under the rampage of the hordes of gray-robed people, only the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion carved out of the back of the temple against the recess of the mountain wall was still resisting.
In the Sutra Pavilion, Mrs. Rong Hua, Shen, still commanded the remaining ten or so subordinates and guards calmly. They used the narrow terrain and piled-up furnishings to kill and force back the thieves who invaded again. Go out; however, her true mood is becoming more and more cold as snow.
As a person who once worked for the empress dowagers of Yao and Shun, who were old and powerful but could always dominate the government and the opposition, her experience from being a palace servant to a female historian, and then to a middle- and lower-rank female official gave her a vision and experience that ordinary wealthy people could not have. ; But under the calm situation, there are more crises.
You know, after unexpectedly encountering a suspected haunted incident at the Lanxi Mansion, she suddenly thought about it and went to Guangshan Temple at the junction of Dongning Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture to visit her old friend and client, Elder Shanjing, who she had entrusted to her, hoping to find this hidden person. Some explanation and enlightenment for cultivating great virtue;
However, unexpectedly, when she arrived at Guangshan Temple, she received the news that Elder Shanjing had just passed away not long ago. Therefore, when she took the initiative to go to pay tribute and make offerings, the spiritual pagoda of Elder Shanjing suddenly changed; monks and thieves disguised in the temple cooperated inside and outside to launch an attack.
Trapped in the main hall, she counted her personnel and discovered that one of her female officers, Cui Wen, had disappeared in the chaos; then she found the body of another female officer, Cuiping, under the incense table at the back of the hall; after inspection, she He was caught off guard and stabbed in the chest by someone close to him.
The third female officer who was accompanying her was also captured and skinned into a white sheep by the thieves, and humiliated in public; until she shot an arrow with her own hands, she completely relieved her from the torture and pain. And this means that there are always thieves around her, and they have been waiting in Guangshan Temple for a long time.
And on Yizhou Island, there were actually people who were so bold that they dared to gather a crowd to attack the female relatives of the contemporary government. This was too shocking and made her feel inexplicably sad. Because from the most basic appeal of interests, it can almost be directly guessed that there may be scope for the mastermind behind the scenes.
After the contemporary princess was ill and recuperating for a long time, the one in the family became more and more unscrupulous in her actions. Even if she was far away, she still refused to let her go; To lose face, send out troops to kill them all?
It was just that the other party showed promise and forced him to flee to the Sutra Pavilion in the cave behind the mountain. He no longer set fire to the temple or used other means of coercion such as smoking. Instead, a group of thieves attacked him. Bo's rushed up, trying to consume the last strength of the guards around her.
In other words, after she gave up most of the power and resources in the office and back house, the most valuable thing left was herself. Does that person still have an ulterior and rebellious heart towards him? Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen touched the hairpin on her head with determination in her eyes.
She sighed secretly, at least she would never give the other party a chance to bring shame to the office and family. During the brief thought, the sounds that echoed outside suddenly turned into screams one after another; and then the blood-stained captain guarding the door said in dumb surprise:
"Madam, it seems that reinforcements are approaching."
As he finished speaking, Shen also approached the opening of the stone cave of the Sutra Pavilion; she saw a group of men and horses in brown clothes with armor and leather helmets, flying blue flags with water patterns, charging into the bloody and bloody ground. In the temple with fireworks. The leader was none other than Cang Xing, one of the twin maids who had been sent out to seek help.
I saw her leading a handsome general with a broad forehead into the arrow range of the Shicao Sutra Pavilion; she shouted loudly: "Madam, don't be surprised; this is from Dongshan Town, Shenguan Lieutenant Chen of the garrison happened to be on official business in Lilin County with his troops. After hearing the news, he came with his maid..."
At the same time, on the cliff on the side of the mountain temple, Jiang Tian was also looking at the noisy scene with a slightly strange expression on his face. Cui Xing, one of the twin maids in loose men's clothing, looked like she had lost her love after a bad game, with a look of despair on her face, drooling from the corners of her mouth, and lying on the ground retching.
After all, she was treated like a hanging kitten all the way, jumping up and down in the air and walking like flying, but it also made her suffer all kinds of hardships; she even suffered from motion sickness halfway through. But she was so impatient that she refused to stop and rest for a while.
"The reinforcements have finally arrived, isn't Madam saved?" After she stood up, she couldn't help crying with joy, then she looked at Jiang Tian with a slight movement of her eyes and said: "Thank you for the help, righteous man, but since you are already here, please come with me to meet me. Madam, I will definitely give you a sufficient reward."
"Not necessarily!" Jiang Tian shook his head slightly at her, which also surprised her. Could it be that the other party still refused to let her go? "Have you ever seen reinforcements that rush to kill and kill without leaving any survivors as soon as they come up? And they happen to be foreign troops that they met on the way?"
At the same time, a small group of guards with blood-stained robes and injuries on their robes also walked out of the cave where the Sutra Pavilion was located. Two lines of guards formed a vigilance formation at the entrance of the cave and shouted to the outside: "Madam, please invite Captain Chen to come in and speak."
"How dare you disobey your order!" Captain Chen also quickly stretched out his hand to salute, and at the same time shouted very loudly to the soldiers behind him: "You guys stay here and don't make any rash moves, so as not to disturb the lady! I'll go now Come as soon as you go..."
However, when Cang Xing, the maid in green skirt, led Captain Chen into the room, he saw Mrs. Rong Hua, who was accompanied by only one female officer and standing on the staircase. In that moment, he suddenly waved his fist and hammered He hit Cang Xing, the maid next to him who was dodging supplies; he knocked her out with a scream.
And the group of sergeants waiting outside also suddenly attacked without any time. Their front row suddenly crouched on the ground, revealing a group of accomplices holding crossbows who were hidden among them. Almost as soon as they met, hundreds of flying arrows burst out like rain; they could not evade and nailed the guards to the ground.
The only one who lagged behind was wounded several times, and he stumbled into the cave to warn others. However, he saw his companions and servants lying on the ground. Then, he was struck by a sneak attack from the side, and his face suddenly burst open and dented, killing him on the spot. Colonel Chen showed up and took a leisurely walk, kicking his feet.
The maid Cang Xing, who secretly got up from the ground, screamed and hit the stone wall again, suddenly protruding a large mouthful of blood. However, she leaned against the wall with a depressed look and could not get up. During this gap, Mrs. Rong Hua was surrounded by the remaining two guards and female officials and fled upstairs.
At the same time, I saw with my own eyes the tragic scene of the guards outside the cave lying on the ground with their bodies covered with arrows. Cuixing, the maid next to Jiang Tian, also widened her eyes, and then suddenly pulled off her loose men's clothes, revealing her delicate body with pink makeup and jade and bandage, she hugged him and cried:
"Please, do me a favor; as long as I can save my wife from danger, you can do whatever you want to me! I can also ask my wife to promise you all my sisters who are the same as me, and we will be like cows and horses. I will repay you for the rest of my life..." At this moment, she seemed to have grasped the last straw.
In the cave, Mr. Shen, who had been forced to the third floor of the Sutra Storage Pavilion, could only watch with a bleak expression. The last female officer who rushed forward was being pressed forward by Principal Chen. Wei knocked him down with one palm. Then she looked at the guards around her and signaled to the last two guards.
I saw the slightly younger one among them, with a face full of grief and anger, he decisively pulled out his sword; he crossed it on her hard-stretched jade neck, and then dragged her backwards with force. But Leng Hui stabbed him under the ribs from the side with another horizontal knife. He was dumbfounded and only scratched out a bloody mark before falling to the ground.
But it was another older guard who attacked him from behind at the same time; then he was twisted and pulled out, and then died with a twisted look on his face. And Mrs. Rong Hua couldn't help shouting: "Shen Qiquan, how dare you...why?" At the same time, she calmly pulled out the hairpin and clasped it in her hand.
"Be careful, she is going to kill herself." Then she was caught by the guard named Shen Qiquan, lifted her up with all her strength, and then said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, madam. Although it is the future and opportunity that you have promoted, but I’m just a collateral descendant, they can give me more.”
Then, he received a loud slap on the face; but he grabbed her other hand and said: "In that case, please forgive me for being rude.". However, the next moment, he was unexpectedly punched, screaming and flying out; but it was Colonel Chen who was walking upstairs who suddenly took action and said:
"You are of no use anymore, why are you still dreaming?" Before he could finish his words, guard Shen Qiquan exclaimed, and then he hit the stone wall downstairs with a crash, and his body was covered with blood spattered on the spot. After hearing the sound, more soldiers poured into the building and began to search the scene.
"Chen Wenxuan, I have been ordered by the Lord to pay homage to Mrs. Ronghua." At this time, Colonel Chen said to Mrs. Shen who was forced to the stone wall: "Madam, please follow me obediently to avoid anything happening." There are things that cannot be said; it is not honorable to each other."
"Actually, you are the person in the shadow-catching place, aren't you? Look at the hypocrisy in you?" However, at this moment, Mrs. Shen asked calmly and calmly: "Unexpectedly, you who have always been hiding in the dark have also taken refuge in that person. , Are you sure that the public is really unable to take matters seriously?"
"Madam, you are really aware of everything, but it's a pity that it doesn't help." Colonel Chen smiled more and more: "If Madam hadn't been too vigilant, or had too strong a will to resist, we wouldn't have reached this point..." Then, he suddenly turned around and shouted with a fierce face downstairs:
"Kill all the men, and do whatever you want with the women, but at least leave an intact body." Then, I saw the soldiers shouting happily, and then hurriedly dragged the bodies out, leaving only the maids included. The few surviving women, including Cang Xing...
At the same time, Jiang Tian smelled the faint fishy smell coming from the wind in the distance, and suddenly said with a playful expression: "It seems that all the guests have arrived, and this table of delicious dishes can be officially served." The next moment He rolled down the cliff, and then rose up into the wind in front of the girl's exclamation and horrified eyes.
