The Buddha Mother ran away while climbing the city wall.

Wang Jingang and others insisted that the Buddha Mother also climbed the city wall, but in the blink of an eye, the Buddha Mother disappeared. The people from the security bureau firmly denied it, saying that it was only those few people who climbed the wall, and they were still the same few people. No one was seen running away in the middle.

Liu Changge believed in his own people, but Wang Jingang and others didn't seem to be lying. From the looks of them, they seemed to hate the Buddha Mother so much that they even told her about the house where the Buddha Mother gathered.

Liu Changge didn't have any hope for the house or anything like that. Yang Shan led people to search, but found nothing, and the Buddha Mother had long since disappeared. The entire Fengyang Imperial City had been knocked down, and only three feet of ground had to be dug, but there was no trace of the Buddha Mother.

It is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air. Liu Changge ordered a thorough search of all the surrounding houses, but it was already broad daylight and nothing was gained. Liu Changge once again ordered that no one was allowed to leave the city, then he lay down on the ground and fell asleep directly.

I didn't sleep for two days and two nights, I was really exhausted.

Yue Sihai had Liu Changge taken away and personally took charge of the city gates. All city gates were controlled by Security Bureau personnel. Sun Yue looked at the murderous Yue Sihai and scratched his head.

"Li Fangying mobilized the sergeants at the guard station. Why was there no warning at all?"

Yue Sihai was very angry.

Sun Yue explained helplessly: "Before Li Fangying mobilized the sergeants, I was temporarily transferred. Later, I got the news and rushed here. I have investigated and found that, except for a small number of cavalry, most of Li Fangying's sergeants were ambushed in the palace in advance. The three streets outside the wall are exactly the weak areas arranged by the Security Bureau."

Yue Sihai was a little shocked.

Limited by the number of manpower, the Security Bureau adopts a three-two layout for the less important northern area. Three Security Bureau personnel are responsible for monitoring two streets. The main manpower is concentrated in the densely populated Dongcheng and Nancheng.

After Yang Shan deduced that Bai Lian's target was the Fengyang Palace, the Security Bureau deployed personnel and arranged them along the palace wall and the streets outside the palace wall. They didn't pay much attention to the Third Outer Street. But who could have imagined that Li Fangying not only took action in advance , and also arranged it in an area ignored by the Security Bureau.

"The Security Bureau knew the purpose of the White Lotus Cult because of Yang Shan's inference. Why did Li Fangying get one step ahead?"

Yue Sihai had a frosty look on his face.

Sun Yue didn't speak. This question was not difficult to answer, but he couldn't answer it.

Yue Sihai understood the seriousness of the situation. If Li Fangying had predicted in advance that the White Lotus Sect's target was Fengyang Palace, he should have informed the Security Bureau first instead of deploying troops to arrest people without authorization. If Li Fangying did not predict in advance, but knew in advance, it means that there is some relationship between this person and the White Lotus Sect.

Dongcheng, a mansion.

Li Fangying was lying on a wicker chair, covered with a blanket. The maid on the side brought soup and served it carefully with a spoon. Next to her was a straight poplar tree, but there were no branches, only a bare trunk.

Not far in front of Li Fangying, there is a small two-story attic. There are no rockery ponds, trees, flowers or grass around it. It is so lonely and awkward.

In the distance, there was a sergeant sentry post patrolling back and forth. There was even a wooden tower built with a sergeant watching from a high place.

Li Fangying waved away the maid and slowly walked towards the attic. A bell sounded from the attic. The sergeants outside turned around one after another and looked outside. No one looked at the attic.

This is Li Fangying's secret hospital. He spent two years recovering here. People from the Security Bureau can only take a look from the outside and never enter the inside.

Under the attic, in a secret room.

Thick chains were wrapped around the Buddha Mother's body, and she was tied to an iron pillar. On the ground beside her, Sun Tianyou, whose legs were twisted, lay.

"Li Fangying!"

The Buddha Mother looked at the visitor and struggled violently.

Li Fangying waved her hand, and the sergeant unlocked the prison cell and then stepped aside. "Buddha Mother, are you okay?"

Li Fangying smiled.

The Buddha Mother shook and the iron chain rattled. Unfortunately, it was difficult to break the iron chain with human power. She yelled at Li Fangying who came over: "You dare to do this to me, aren't you afraid that the White Lotus Sect will settle the score with you?"

Li Fangying waved her hand and said: "Looking for me? No, at most they are looking for Liu Changge and the Security Bureau. What does it have to do with me? Besides, once the news of your betrayal of other White Lotus cult bandit leaders leaks out, do you think Shandong Bailian Do the believers still exist?”

The Buddha Mother became fierce and her face was ferocious: "What exactly do you want? I have done a great service for your Li family according to Gu Jin's instructions. Li Zengzhi will be released from prison by then. If you treat me like this, Gu and Jin will not forgive you!" "

Li Fangying kicked Sun Tianyou on the ground and said: "Ancient and modern? Hehe, he will not provoke Duke Cao's government for a dead man. Besides, you will be dead when you attack him."

Mother Buddha was a little frightened. This was an internal discussion within the White Lotus Sect. How did Li Fangying know about it?

Li Fangying turned around, took out the knife from the guard's waist, looked at Sun Tianyou who was moaning and unconscious on the ground, and said to the Buddha's mother: "Yes, you handed Han Tianfu, Yu Chou's mother and others to me, it is indeed a piece of cake." The great merit is enough to get Li Zengzhi to leave the Security Bureau. But you didn’t expect that the Security Bureau would show up there!"

"This is your mistake!"

Mother Buddha roared.

Li Fangying sneered, pointed the tip of the knife at Sun Tianyou's neck, and stabbed down in the Buddha's dilated pupils, causing a bloody mess!

"Things have changed. I need to borrow your head to save my second brother. Mother Buddha, I don't want to kill you. There are not many people in the world with your skills. It's a pity that you can't do it until you die."

Li Fangying walked towards the Buddha Mother step by step. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not move.

The Buddha Mother quickly shouted: "Li Fangying, I can give you ten saints and let the White Lotus Sect obey your command, as long as you let me leave."

Ding!

The blade of the knife grazed the iron chain.

Li Fangying shook her head slightly and said: "Saint? Ha, in my eyes, she is just a bitch who can do everything she can. You are insulting me by letting a bitch serve me."

Seeing Li Fangying trying to press the knife over, Mother Buddha quickly shouted: "Don't you want the hundred thousand followers of the White Lotus Sect too?"

The knife in Li Fangying's hand paused, then looked at the Buddha Mother and said with a smile: "One hundred thousand believers, or one hundred thousand pigs? The incident in Qingzhou is not obvious enough. The White Lotus Sect is not an opponent of the imperial court at all."

"Just give me one more chance...ho..."

Mother Buddha's voice suddenly stopped and blood spurted out from her neck.

Li Fangying's face was covered with blood. She stretched out her hand and looked at the dying Buddha mother coldly, saying: "We have been preparing to run away since ancient times. What else do I want from your White Lotus Sect? This world has changed."

The Buddha's mother's body trembled, and slowly she became silent.

A generation of White Lotus Buddha Mother, who had been in power for more than 20 years, had countless conspiracies and killed countless people, died in a small unknown dungeon!

The knife broke the bones and the head rolled off.

Li Fangying kicked it away, dropped the knife, and said sternly: "You don't need to tell me how to deal with it, right?"

The sergeant nodded solemnly.

Li Fangying walked out of the secret room, took a shower and changed clothes, burned incense to drive away the smell, and then left the other courtyard.

Soon after, Yue Sihai heard the news that the bandit leaders of the White Lotus Sect, Buddha Mother and Sun Tianyou, invaded Li Fangying's garrison office, intending to kidnap Li Fangying and leave Fengyang City, and behead Sergeant Li Fangying!

Yue Sihai immediately woke up Liu Changge and told him the news.

Liu Changge washed his face with cold water, sobered up a little, and asked for news again. After a long silence, he said: "Now I know how the Buddha Mother disappeared."

"how?"

Yue Sihai asked.

Liu Changge took a deep breath of cold air: "Simple, blend into Li Fangying's guards."

"But our people were on the periphery at that time..."

"When Li Fangying appeared, she inevitably attracted everyone's attention. Who can be sure that she didn't miss it. I heard that the Buddha Mother is very skilled. With her ability, it is not difficult to sneak into it in a short time."

Liu Changge looked serious.

Yue Sihai was a little puzzled and asked: "Then why did the Buddha Mother die?"

Liu Changge stared at the sky: "Maybe it's because of us."

I wanted a big credit, but I couldn't get it. The only credit that can be compared with these White Lotus bandit leaders is the head of the White Lotus Sect's Buddha Mother.

"Depending on the situation, Li Fangying will not hand over the head of the Buddha Mother to us."

Liu Changge said quietly.

Yue Sihai nodded. Li Fangying and the Security Bureau were on the verge of fighting and almost took action. In this case, the two sides were already at odds. It was impossible for him to hand over Buddha Mother's head to the Security Bureau.

"Let's go and see if it's the head of the Buddha Mother."

Liu Changge knew very well that the head of the Buddha's mother did not need to be in the hands of the security bureau, but it needed to be confirmed that it was the mother of the Buddha herself. If the mother of the Buddha was not dead but died writing a report to the emperor, then his reputation would be completely ruined.

Capital, the teaching hall was filled with cheers.

The martial arts competition has been carried out on the third day, and the content is infantry shooting and horse shooting.

The rule of foot shooting is that if you hit five out of nine arrows, you can pass. The rules of horse archery are to run the horse for two rounds, with a total of six arrows, and if you hit three, you will pass.

Compared with the physical strength test of the previous two days, archery is more precise and skillful.

Zhu Yunwen didn't understand the art, so Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, Song Sheng and others acted as explanations.

In many people's understanding, archery involves holding a bow in the left hand and an arrow in the right hand. However, this is a misunderstanding.

According to Zhu Di's explanation, archery actions include holding the bow, taking the arrow, pulling the string, aiming, releasing the arrow, etc. The situation during shooting changes rapidly, especially when shooting on horseback, it is easy to miss the opportunity.

In order to avoid this life-threatening problem, many people in the army who are good at bows are able to shoot left and right. Especially influenced by the nomadic people, the Central Plains cavalry also introduced the tactics of "double belts and two spears, galloping left and right".

The harpooner immediately holds a container for bows and arrows.

That is, there are falcons on the left and right sides of the war horse. In order to quickly take out arrows and shoot arrows, the arrows in the falcons are taken out in whichever direction is convenient. In the folk song "Li Bo's Little Sister Song" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a goddess archer is described, that is, "If you shoot left and right, you will make a double."

Xu Huizu told Zhu Yunwen that the key to archery is not divided into the movements of the left and right hands, but is described in terms of the front hand (holding the bow) and the back hand (controlling the string), and mentioned the book "She Jing" written by Tang Wangju.

"Your Majesty, there are two techniques for controlling strings. One is the Zhongyuan method, and the other is the Hu method. The main points of the Zhongyuan method are to fold the ring finger over the little finger (middle finger), press the big finger, and hold the first finger upright when the string is held. The main points of the Hu method are Flex your thumb and press your hook finger with your head."

Zhu Di introduced in detail.

Zhu Yunwen asked: "Is there any difference between the two?"

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please watch the competition in the teaching field. At present, the Central Plains method of string control is mostly used in step shooting and martial arts. If it comes to horse shooting in the afternoon, it will be converted to Hu method of string control. The method of the Central Plains is better for walking. And Huffali is right away.”

Zhu Yunwen picked up the telescope and took a closer look. It was as Zhu Di said.

"Each school requires you to study hard. Although the Second Artillery Bureau has improved its muskets and divine machine guns, the role of bows and arrows is still irreplaceable. I heard that Oara and Tatar have divine eagle masters. Do we also have the same in the army? How many divine eagles should you choose?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu said with a bit of a wry smile: "Your Majesty, divine eagle hands can be found but not sought. They are the result of talent. If there are people who are very good at bows in the army, they will definitely not be buried."
