As the cabinet was moved, a hole leaked out from the back.
"This secret passage can only accommodate one person at a time. General, please escape quickly!" the fat monk said to Wang Bao.
As long as the soldiers and generals of the imperial court in front of him did not leave, he would never be able to feel at ease.
"Abbott, it's better to go with me!" Wang Baochong winked at the soldiers beside him.
The soldier stepped forward, pushed the fat monk with his hand, and said at the same time: "Master, please take a step forward."
The fat monk understood that he was worried about him and was worried that there was danger in the secret passage.
Thinking of this, he bent down and got into the secret passage.
"Let's go, follow him." Wang Bao asked a soldier to follow the fat monk, while he himself was the third one to walk into the secret passage.
However, as soon as he reached the edge of the secret passage, he stopped, turned around, and said to a soldier guarding the edge of the secret passage: "You stay, and after I enter the secret passage, I will restore the cabinet to its original state." , Don’t worry, as long as I return safely, I will take care of your family for you.”
"Thank you, General." The soldier who was left behind saluted Wang Baoyi.
The personal soldiers are the general's private soldiers. These people will not hesitate to die for the general. Of course, sometimes if the interests are sufficient, they can also betray.
Wang Bao turned around and entered the secret passage.
Other soldiers also got into the secret passage one after another. When only one person was left outside, the other party restored the cabinet to its original state, then took the weapon and left the Zen room, returning to the main hall.
Prepare to kill the enemy with other companions in the hall.
Sounds of killing came from the direction of the main hall.
As an experienced soldier beside the general, he knew that the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag had already reached the main hall and were currently fighting against the officers and soldiers guarding the main hall.
This made him walk faster and faster on his way to the main hall.
At this time, he did not think about escaping, because he knew that the troops outside had been surrounded by the Tiger Flag, and it would be difficult for people in the temple to escape unless there was another secret passage to escape.
Since he couldn't escape, all he could do was die with his companions.
However, as soon as he arrived and approached the main hall, the shouts of killing stopped, which made his expression change.
"Then there's one more, catch it."
Before he could enter the main hall, a tiger-character flag soldier discovered his whereabouts and led others to rush toward him.
"Stay alive!" Someone in the hall shouted.
The soldiers who had originally aimed and fired their guns had no choice but to put down their guns and let a few soldiers with bayonets surround them.
Liu Qingzhou walked out of the hall, looked at the surrounded officers and soldiers, and said: "You are the only one left. There is no need to fight. Why don't you put down your weapons and surrender? I will not kill the prisoners under the tiger-shaped flag."
The people who were besieged were Wang Bao's personal soldiers who came from the Zen room where they lived.
At this time, he saw people wearing the Tiger Flag all around him, his face looked nervous, and he stared at the Tiger Flag soldiers holding weapons around him with vigilance.
"Looking at your appearance, you should be from the border army. As I expected, you are Wang Bao's personal soldier. Don't be nervous. Your companions have surrendered. There is no need for you to continue to work for Wang Bao." Liu Qingzhou He said looking at the person in front of him.
The soldier glanced in the direction of the main hall.
I found that many of my former companions were squatting in the open space in front of the hall with their hands on their heads.
Cry!
He dropped the knife in his hand.
Many of his companions had surrendered, including Wang Bao's personal soldiers, which made the last bit of desperate thoughts in his heart disappear completely.
And facing so many soldiers of the Tiger Flag, he knew that he was no match. If he took action forcefully, he would only be killed here in the end. If he had a chance to live, he would naturally not want to die.
Surrender is not unacceptable.
Two soldiers rushed forward and controlled the man directly, and the knife on the ground was kicked away.
Liu Qingzhou stepped forward, looked at the other person and said, "I know you are the last person to see Wang Bao. Tell me, where is Wang Bao?"
With so many officers and soldiers captured in the main hall, he had already figured out the identity of the general who led these officers and soldiers to flee to Ciyun Temple.
"I don't know. The general sent me back after meeting with the abbot of the temple." The soldier said.
Liu Qingzhou looked at the soldiers in front of him and said: "At this time, there is no need for you to hide for Wang Bao. He escaped from the secret passage and left you here, obviously asking you to stay and die."
When the soldier heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing this, Liu Qingzhou knew that he had guessed correctly.
As for the secret passage, some of the captured prisoners overheard it and confessed all in order to survive, so this made him know that Wang Bao had escaped from the secret passage.
"It seems that you are really going to fight to the end, but it doesn't matter. Even if you don't say it, there must be other monks in the temple who know about the secret passage." Liu Qingzhou waved to the soldiers on the side and ordered, "Take him with you." Go down."
The two soldiers escorted the soldier to the open space in front of the main hall.
"If I tell you, can you let me go?" Not far away, the soldier suddenly looked back at Liu Qingzhou.
Although he didn't know Liu Qingzhou's status in the Tiger-Character Banner army, he could tell that the Tiger-Character Flag soldiers and horses in front of him all led the other side.
"No, but I can promise you that as long as you are willing, you can join my Tiger Flag and become a heavy soldier in my camp." Liu Qingzhou refused to let him go, but gave him another sweetener.
The soldier hesitated for a moment.
Although I don’t know what the difference is between the baggage soldiers and the Tiger-Character Flag warriors I’ve heard of, but with a soldier’s character stuck on them, they can at least be regarded as members of the Tiger-Character Flag’s own people, and their lives should be saved.
Thinking of this, he said: "I know where the secret passage is. I can take you there, but you can't lie to me."
"Don't worry, I can still make the decision on this matter." Liu Qingzhou chuckled.
Having Wang Bao's personal soldiers to lead the way can save him a lot of time, not to mention the quota of heavy troops, so he can naturally do this.
Choosing to betray, the soldier no longer hesitated and walked in front to lead the way for the people with the tiger-shaped flag.
Under his leadership, we soon arrived at the abbot's Zen room.
"The secret passage is behind the cabinet. You can see it as long as you move the cabinet." He pointed at the cabinet and said.
Liu Qingzhou said to the soldiers who entered the Zen room together: "Go two people and move the things away."
Two soldiers stepped forward and removed the cupboard.
The secret passage behind was exposed.
Liu Qingzhou took a few steps forward and looked at the secret passage in front of him that could only accommodate one person in and out. He turned back and said to the soldier leading the way: "Do you know where this secret passage leads to?"
"I don't know." The soldier shook his head.
Liu Qingzhou saw that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, so he said to a soldier beside him: "Go and ask the monks in the temple. Who knows where this secret passage leads to?"
Some soldiers left the Zen room.
