The Eight Winds of Rebirth

At the end of the trail, Zhao Ze said: Let Gu Xiangtan and the others go first, then he rushed out first.

Before Gu Xiangtan had time to call him back, he saw a group of people wearing torches and wearing uniforms of the Habayashi Army rushing towards him. Among them was a mighty general riding on a tall horse, and the other party saw it at a glance. Gu Xiangtan here couldn't help shouting in a deep voice: "Catch the Lingfo, if you want to live, the rest of the thieves will be executed on the spot!"

Gu Xiangtan stared at the man. Although he had never seen the two lieutenants next to the Three Kings, but based on the momentum and appearance of the other party, he had already guessed that it was close to ten. Since the Three Kings left Dong County and the palace In the two battlefields, the Xing Xinghu was sent to arrest him in person, the arrangement must be perfect, there must be a lot of troops outside, and look at their people, is it really going to be a disaster this time?

Just when those soldiers rushed up, they suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind them, and when they turned around, they saw a group of monks rushing towards here from a distance, some of them were holding various sticks and weapons, they should be monks from Shimen Temple. Monk, while they stood in front of Gu Xiangtan, they said: "Lingfo, leave quickly, let's hold back these rebels!"

These people are no more than a few dozen, but fortunately there are high walls on both sides of the trail to stop them. Even though there are many Habayashi soldiers, the exit is only so big that it can accommodate three or four people at most. As long as the monks can temporarily block the place, Gu Xiangtan and others can find another place to escape.

But looking at the scene of casualties in less than half a moment, Gu Xiangtan was seldom stunned. At this moment, two soldiers of the Habayashi Army who slipped through the net rushed in through the gap, and one of them raised the back of the sword in his hand to kill him. Knock Gu Xiangtan on the back of the neck, and the other person is ready to capture the Lingfo.

Suddenly, two black shadows skipped over the high wall, and they stopped on both sides of Gu Xiangtan neatly by rushing forward. Each of them kicked, and easily gave the thief who was about to touch the corner of Lingfo's clothes. Kicked away, and then fought with those people neatly.

One of them is Mou Fei, and the other is Bi Fu. Before Zhao Yuan left, she told Gu Xiangtan that she would leave them behind to protect his safety.

Gu Xiangtan didn't wait to think about it, his arm was already grabbed by someone, he turned around and saw Zhao Su who had been hiding in the dark, Zhao Su pulled Gu Xiangtan back and said as he retreated: "It's too dangerous here, we'd better go back In the temple, find another place to settle down."

Seeing that Lingfo was about to leave, Zodiac Tiger immediately got off his horse and wanted to chase after him, but was entangled by the fast-moving Zhao Ze and Yanfang from left to right.

In the past three years, Zhao Ze has improved a lot. Although his skills are not as good as the fourth and sixth brothers, if he really wants to deal with a person wholeheartedly, he is not much worse than Xing Xinghu except for lack of actual combat experience. So for a while, people in the future were forced to restrain them so that they could not move forward.

Gu Xiangtan understood that he was the biggest hidden danger, he had no time to hesitate or be impatient, the only thing he could do was to try his best to keep himself alive, and then wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Gu Xiangtan had no choice but to follow Zhao Su back to the Shimen Temple. The outside of the temple must have been surrounded by the Habayashi army, and lying corpses can be seen everywhere in the temple. Gu Xiangtan watched all the way, always smiling There was only a dead white on the face.

When he first arrived in the capital that day, he began to work hard to mediate between Emperor Zongzheng and the three kings. Over the years, he has thought about everything and tried his best, in order to minimize the number of innocent people who were killed or injured when they fought each other one day. However, in the end , Will those people around him who have devoted everything to him still die one by one like in the last life?But he still had no choice but to watch helplessly.

Gu Xiangtan gritted his teeth, suddenly stopped and said to Fu Yalian and Huaishen who were always by his side: "Master, let's go separately."

Fu Yalian was stunned, and then heard Zhao Su say: "That's fine, Mr. Xiangguo goes to the meditation room to settle down, and I go to the main hall with the Lingfo. The Zodiac tiger only wants to catch the Lingfo. If they are scattered, they will not pay attention to other people. body."

Fu Yalian frowned, but what he thought was that if Zodiac Tiger found him first, maybe he could confuse Gu Xiangtan's eyes, so although he felt uneasy, he still nodded.

Gu Xiangtan looked at the flushed child in Fu Yalian's arms, he must be seriously ill, but the emperor's grandson remained silent all this time, only staring at Gu Xiangtan with dazed eyes, Gu Xiangtan Can't help but reach out and touch his cheek, but when Gu Xiangtan turned his head and wanted to leave, Zhao Xi suddenly burst into tears, the cry was high-pitched and loud, even a little heartbreaking.

Gu Xiangtan immediately went to coax her twice, Zhao Xi stopped crying, but as soon as Gu Xiangtan left, Zhao Xi screamed again, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, it was useless.

Fu Yalian said: "In that case, you can take her away."

Gu Xiangtan stretched out his hand to pick up Zhao Xi after only a little thought, and then the two quickly walked in different directions. Before leaving, Fu Yalian gave Zhao Su a worried look, but finally turned back and left.

Zhao Su took Gu Xiangtan into the Daxiong Hall of Shimen Temple. The magnificent Sakyamuni Buddha sat solemnly in the hall, and the four directions were brightly lit, looking at all the living beings sitting down with compassion.

Zhao Su closed the hall door, took a candle and walked around the hall again. When he came back, Gu Xiangtan was carefully feeding the emperor and grandson in his arms with the water provided in front of the table.

Gu Xiangtan didn't raise his head, and asked suddenly: "What's the matter with the third son?"

Zhao Su put the candle in front of Gu Xiangtan, and said, "I was gouged out by an actor."

Gu Xiangtan glanced at Zhao Su, then pulled off a piece of cloth from the inner garment, and wiped his face and hands with water for the grandson. Zhao Xi hummed softly, obviously feeling very uncomfortable, but the child didn't cry.

Although Gu Xiangtan's glance didn't have much ups and downs, Zhao Su felt a little cold for no reason. He couldn't help but said: "Zhao Jie has always been cruel and merciless. I don't know how many people died in the mansion in recent days. The dog rushed to the wall in a hurry. , the rabbit is eager to kick the eagle, and it is understandable for those who rise up and fight back before they die."

Gu Xiangtan took small bites of the soft, glutinous and juicy peaches and gave them to Zhao Xi to eat. Hearing Zhao Su continue, "Although Zodiac Tiger has a dull head, he grew up in front of the Three Kings since he was a child. Dian can be said to be loyal, if you want to use some external force to persuade and deceive him, it may be difficult to do." The only way is to knock him down head-on.

While the two were talking, they heard footsteps coming from outside. Listening to the movement, there were not many people coming, but it was more than enough to deal with the two of them plus a child.

Zhao Su hurriedly dragged Gu Xiangtan to hide under the incense case.

With a "bang", the main entrance of the main hall was smashed open, and a small team of about six or seven people ran in with swords in their hands. Maybe at first they would pay attention to the important place of Buddhism, not to kill and see blood, but now, nothing is better than Not knowing that their lives were important, they didn't care about the Buddha and Tianzun sitting in front of them, they just swept the prayer flags and fragrant fruits all over the place, searching for anyone suspicious.

This kind of movement obviously disturbed the drowsy little grandson who had just filled his stomach. Just when someone smashed the handle of a knife on the incense table where they were squatting, Zhao Xi let out a small groan, and Gu Xiangtan immediately Know to suffer.

Sure enough, the table curtain in front of the case was suddenly lifted, and just as the opponent's knife swept over, Zhao Su pushed Gu Xiangtan out, rolled on the spot, and jumped up deftly when he turned around, Pulling Gu Xiangtan and ran outside.

Gu Xiangtan was holding a child in his arms, and he couldn't run fast, but he still walked desperately. Zhao Su grabbed a broom in his hand at some point, and tried his best to protect Gu Xiangtan in the shadow of swords and swords on both sides.

Gu Xiangtan heard Zhao Su snort softly, and when he was about to turn around, he heard Zhao Su shout: "Go! Go!"

Gu Xiangtan paused, but still ran with all his strength. He didn't know what was going on behind him, he only knew to go forward and then forward, and finally ran out of the hall, but the person who had been by his side suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. On the ground, Gu Xiangtan turned his head to look at Zhao Su. He was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, and under the dark night, he could only vaguely see that his back was wet.

The thief came up to him, but Gu Xiangtan didn't move. He saw that Zhao Su was looking at him with anxious eyes. It was real, and there was no trace of falsehood or pretense. He wanted to live, at least in the At this moment, Gu Xiangtan's life is far higher than his own.

As for Zhao Su, at that moment, he felt that he clearly saw the momentary hesitation and indifference in Gu Xiangtan's eyes. Zhao Su even thought that Gu Xiangtan wanted him to die, but in the end, Gu Xiangtan still ran towards him come over.

When Gu Xiangtan supported Zhao Su, the thief's knife fell at the same time, and Zhao Su almost instinctively blocked Gu Xiangtan again, and the shining sharp blade directly slashed on Zhao Su's back. Xiangtan clearly saw the blood splashing from the blade, bubbling down like a stream.

However, after being distracted for a moment, Gu Xiangtan felt that someone was pulling forcefully with his other hand. When Zhao Su pressed him over, the child in Gu Xiangtan's arms was also forcibly pulled away!

"...Xi'er!" Gu Xiangtan shouted.

The next moment, he and Zhao Su fell to the ground together, and the thief wanted to draw his sword again, when he suddenly saw a group of people rushing over, those people actually stopped the offensive and didn't want to fight, they just turned back with the child in their arms then go.

The people who came were Zhao Ze, Mou Fei and others. When they saw Gu Xiangtan, Zhao Ze said loudly: "Lingfo, my fourth brother has brought soldiers and horses. We can escape for the time being. You follow us quickly. "

But Gu Xiangtan stared at the direction where the man took the child away, and said, "Xi'er...the grandson, the grandson was taken away..."

Zhao Ze was taken aback for a moment, but Mou Fei and Bi Fu had the same idea as Yan Fang, and Zhao Xi couldn't compare to Xiangtan's life in terms of dignity, so he pulled people back to a safe place regardless, walking Said: "General Yuguo will find a way to rescue the emperor's grandson..."

Gu Xiangtan was dragged away by them in a daze, and suddenly came back to his senses: "How many people did General Cao bring?"

Mou Fei said: "It looks like there are several thousand."

"But the Yulin Army has [-]!" Gu Xiangtan's eyes widened, and he quickly analyzed the current situation thoroughly. Cao Qin, the soldier in the capital, did not move. Apart from the few Royal Army, what other troops can come to help?

However, Gu Xiangtan thought about it all over his head, but he couldn't think of it, except for the Shenwu Army in the east.

The Shenwu army scattered in all directions, facing the hungry and cold unprepared Shenwu army led by Luan Yu, if Zhao Yuan goes well, it won't take long to win the victory.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Gu Xiangtan is definitely not willing to let Yuan Qing take risks, but the current situation...

Gu Xiangtan wanted to touch the Buddhist beads on his wrist, but when he didn't touch anything, he remembered that his Buddhist beads had been scattered, and his heart beat violently. He looked up at the full moon in the sky, and the sky was already faint The light color made the full moon look more hollow and pale. A voice in Gu Xiangtan's heart said softly: You must tell Yuanqing about this, otherwise, they will all regret it.

In the end, Gu Xiangtan clenched his fists and looked back at the dying Zhao Su.

Zhao Su seemed to be aware of it, and raised his head with effort, and the two eyes met. For some reason, he saw that Gu Xiangtan's eyes were filled with... boundless sadness.

Gu Xiangtan moved his lips slightly, Zhao Ze, Mou Fei and others at the side didn't hear what he said, but Zhao Su understood, he hesitated for a while, and still took out a silver coin from his pocket with shaking hands. Whistle, followed by a soft whistle sounded in the silent night, but after a while, there was a falcon hovering faintly in the sky.

Gu Xiangtan spoke again, this time everyone heard what he said clearly.

Gu Xiangtan said: "If the war allows, let the sixth son come back soon..."
