At this time, the injured monk was nearby. Master Dazhong felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned Zhang Mo Ling Changsheng, so he quickly changed the subject, "Several masters and uncles, stay here for a moment. I will work with them to wipe out the remnants of the Japanese pirates."
"Go, go." Master Dazhong smiled and waved.
Changsheng then nodded to Tongchen who was not far away, and turned to use his movement skills to rush towards the north of the mountain.
Datou and others were currently chasing the remaining Japanese pirates with several Shaolin monks. Changsheng met them and said eagerly, "Hurry up and clean up the remaining Japanese pirates as soon as possible. We still have to go Go somewhere else.”
Seeing Chang Sheng's solemn expression, several people had doubts. Da Tou asked casually, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"The Western Region is asking for help. It's urgent." Changsheng said in a deep voice.
Hearing what Changsheng said, everyone understood that the situation was urgent, and immediately cheered up, pursued them, and accelerated the elimination.
After a while, everyone chased the Japanese pirates to the southwest area, where the formation eye was. From here, Changsheng saw Zhang Mo, who had been worried about him. Fortunately, Zhang Mo was only slightly tired and not injured.
Since he was chasing Japanese pirates, Chang Sheng did not speak to Zhang Mo, but nodded at him and passed by quickly.
From the foot of the mountain in the southeast direction, Changsheng met the people of the Four Mountain Villas who were waiting to leave. Previously, Japanese pirates had fled from this area in panic, but the people of the Four Mountain Villas did not stop them. Changsheng did not feel anything strange. That's right, but Datou and others hate them even more because of this, and look at them with disgust.
Arriving in Shandong, Changsheng suddenly found a group of nervous-looking officers and soldiers standing outside the formation. Changsheng made a gesture to everyone on his side to stop searching, and then turned to the officers and soldiers who were looking around in confusion outside the formation and said, "I am Li Changsheng, and you are who?"
Seeing the officers and soldiers outside the formation looking at each other in confusion and not answering, Big Head glared angrily, "My lord, are you deaf when I ask you this?"
The officers and soldiers outside felt that the name Li Changsheng was familiar. After hearing what Datou said, they immediately understood that the young boy in front of them was the heroic prince who had been in the limelight in recent years. The captain who led the team hurriedly led everyone to kneel down, "Back to Chitose, we all He is a police officer from Hezhou. Some villagers reported earlier that there were many people fighting and killing each other from Gupo Mountain, so we were ordered to come and find out what happened."
Changsheng nodded and said, "You are here at the right time. Immediately send people back to summon the civilians to bury the bodies of the Japanese pirates in the mountains on the spot, and then recruit good carriages and horses to send the injured monks back to Songshan Mountain."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the captain who led the team looked at the corpses all over the mountains and plains with a confused look on his face and hesitated.
Upon seeing this, Datou stepped forward, pointed at the deep pit with a locust tree branch inserted between the two sides and said to the officer, "What are you moaning about? The pit has been dug for you in advance, so it won't take much trouble to bury it."
"Yes, yes." The captain who led the team nodded quickly.
Datou said again, "Go back and let you, the governor of Hezhou, personally supervise the process. Remember carefully how many people have been buried. It's not a good job to bury dead people in this hot day. The gold and silver on the Japanese pirates are so soft that you can use them to eat in bars." There is no need to confiscate them, but their weapons will be collected, packed and shipped to the Ministry of War, and then you, the governor, will personally write a note and report the truth to the court on the battle situation here."
The captain who led the team was still worried about this hard work. You must know that Lingnan Road is not as good as the Central Plains. The roads here are rugged, the mountains are high, and the forests are dense. It would take two days at the fastest to summon the people to come here, and it is now in the scorching heat. , when the peasants arrived, these corpses were probably rotten and smelly, but after hearing that the gold and silver on the corpses could be theirs, the terrible drudgery instantly turned into a great job, as the ancients said in the world Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. People live in this world and work hard to get some money to support their families. You can imagine how important money is. Who makes others regard money as dirt? It's just about fishing for fame, but not about human life.
Not only did the captain who led the team fully agreed, but the dozen or so officers behind him were also very excited. Originally, they were still doubting everyone's identity because Chang Sheng and others did not show their official seals, but this time they no longer doubted it. They just said that they would do their best to complete the mission. , will not disgrace his command.
Changsheng continued, "I'm telling you, Governor, that the Shaolin monks will be escorted back according to the rules for the prince's travel. The officers and soldiers will escort him, and the gongs will sound to clear the way. The officials and people of the prefectures and counties he will visit along the way will line up to see him off. All expenses for this trip will be doubled by the Ministry of Household Affairs next month."
"Okay, okay, Chitose, don't worry, I will definitely bring the message to you." The captain agreed.
At this time, several warrior monks were also nearby. They were moved when they heard Chang Sheng's words. They clasped their hands and sang Buddha. An older warrior monk said, "Your Majesty, it is everyone's duty to protect our family and country. Although we are We are monks, but we are also citizens of the Tang Dynasty. This is what we should do. We have been doing this since we returned to Shaolin. How can we mobilize troops and mobilize people like this, wasting people and losing money?"
Chang Sheng said seriously, "Master is too modest. Shaolin Temple suffered heavy losses in this battle. It should be spread throughout the world and known to the world."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Da Tou, "Go tell Zhang Mo and ask her to open the formation."
"A few of them ran away just now." The big head pointed to the north.
"It doesn't matter. They will feel it after the formation is opened and they will definitely run away," Changsheng said. "At that time, we can chase and kill them based on their appearance. Come on, we are in a hurry and must leave here as soon as possible."
Datou nodded in agreement and quickly left, while everyone on his side returned to the top of the mountain.
When Changsheng and others returned to the top of the mountain, the formation had been activated, and Master Dazhong was about to leave. Changsheng hurriedly stopped the four people and thanked them again. These four people were all seniors of the big generation. Even Zhang Shan's attack on the city was blocked. They had never been alarmed, but they were invited down the mountain by Zhang Mo this time. This was no small feat, it was a great favor. As a person, you must be aware of it and never ignore the sacrifices and contributions of others.
Master Dazhong was free and easy, casual and informal. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, don't do this. Fulfill your promise to me as soon as possible and give me more. The three of them also like to drink."
While they were talking, Zhang Mo flew over from the bottom of the mountain. Da Tou did not go with him, but went to hunt down the Japanese pirates with Yang Kai and others.
Zhang Mo talked to Dazhong and others, and Changsheng turned around and walked towards Tongchen and others. When he was talking to Dazhong, a monk had already told Tongchen what he had said to the Hezhou officer. Although the Buddhist disciples were all empty-handed, So many people died in this battle, and almost all the Shaolin elite were killed or injured. As the abbot of Shaolin, he was inevitably heartbroken, but after hearing what his fellow disciples had to say, Tong Chen and others felt much relieved.
"Master, many Shaolin monks were killed or injured in this battle. You are all monks. You should not have suffered this disaster. Just because you were invited by me to lend a helping hand, so many people have been killed and I cannot escape the blame." Changsheng said seriously. .
"Namo Amitabha," Tongchen chanted, "Donors need not blame themselves. It is true that we are monks, but what we eat is grain from the Tang Dynasty and we receive donations from the people. When our country is in trouble, we should stand up and protect it. To save the country, all of our colleagues passed away in front of the formation. This is both their fate and their cause and effect."
"The Shaolin Temple has made great contributions in this battle. It should be greatly compensated and praised. I should also be allowed to discuss it in detail with the emperor and the civil and military officials after I return to the court." Changsheng said solemnly.
"Namo Amitabha." Tongchen clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha.
When the two were talking, the four masters of Dazhong had already set off for the north. Upon seeing this, Changsheng hurriedly turned around and bowed his head, watching respectfully...
