Chance encounter

Shang Ning and Zhao Xi returned to the inn, and Zhao Xi said, "That Liu Wuyan must know where my junior is."

Shang Ning said: "I also think he knows, but I didn't expect that junior brother likes this."

After hearing this, Zhao Xi imagined Wu Ying and Liu Wuyan standing together in his mind. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Liu Wuyan returned to Linjiazhuang, and Zhang Jinbao followed him back. At night, Liu Wuyan asked Zhang Jinbao: "Have the identities of those two people not been found out yet?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "These two people should be the ones looking for Wuying, but no one knows their identities. They seem to have appeared here suddenly, and they can't be found anywhere else."

After hearing this, Liu Wuyan thought for a while and said: "It looks like they are not ordinary people. He said their surname is Guo. Could it have something to do with the Guo Yunfeng Wu Ying mentioned? Could it be Guo Yunfeng's apprentice? Then what do they ask Wu Ying for? What? Do you want to prevent Wu Ying from going to see a doctor for the emperor?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "However, when Guo Yunfeng appeared in the arena, he was alone, and I didn't hear that he had an apprentice after that."

Liu Wuyan said: "That should be someone related to him, you send someone to tell Wuying to be more careful, is there any news from the palace?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "Not yet, but our people are ready to contact Li Yi, but I don't know what his attitude is."

Liu Wuyan said: "There shouldn't be any problem with him, but we didn't expect that we would use him in the end. It seems that Qin Guan was right to arrange him into the guard camp. I blamed Qin Guan then."

Zhang Jinbao didn't say anything after hearing this, he was waiting for Liu Wuyan to ask the prince, but Liu Wuyan didn't ask, so he didn't say anything.

Li Jun led 5 soldiers to the capital quickly. He had a bad premonition for the past few days. The more he thought about something, the more he felt something was wrong. He just fell asleep that day when he was awakened by a dream of his own. After that, he hurriedly called his own guards. He took a breath and said, "The [-] people I brought out were selected by me and trusted by me. How many years have you been with me?"

After hearing this, the guards were a little confused. What was General Li talking about? He said, "This subordinate has been with the general for five years."

Li Jun said: "Okay, it's been five years, now, you go out quietly, wake up your most trusted people, let them bring their most trusted soldiers, we have to leave quickly."

The guard asked, "General, what happened?"

Li Jun didn't answer him, but instead asked, "How many people do you think we can take away?"

The guards didn't speak, Li Jun went on to say: "There should be 3 people, don't be dazed, go quickly, don't alarm others."

A quarter of an hour later, Li Jun finished dressing up and left the tent. There were already people standing outside the tent. They all looked at Li Jun quietly. Li Jun asked the guards: "How many people are there?"

The guard said, "About thirty-five thousand."

Li Jun showed a somewhat relieved expression after hearing this, and he said: "It's more than I thought, well, now everyone quietly follow me, we have to leave here quickly."

The guard asked in a low voice, "What about the rest?"

Li Jun turned around and said: "There must be sacrifices to go through war, let's go."

The personal guard couldn't see Li Jun's face, but he knew that Li Jun would definitely not want to do this either.

Li Jun took the [-] soldiers and left quickly according to the route he thought in his mind. He didn't look back, he didn't dare to look at the large tents that were still lit with torches, and he left his soldiers in those camps. Under the torches.

Several hours later, the night was getting darker, Li Jun didn't dare to let them stop and rest, as if there were millions of pursuers behind them, once they stopped, they would die instantly.

Qin Guan and Lin Wei followed the previous plan and surrounded the large camp after midnight. Qin Guan didn't want to fight with these soldiers. He also wanted to persuade them like he did to General Wang, but he knew that this method was here. It didn't work, Li Yuandao's son Li Jun led the troops.

So he thought, if they really fight, it will reduce the pain, while they are fast asleep.

This is not a battle against the enemy, and there is no need for drums to increase morale; this is a sneak attack, which needs to be carried out quietly; this is a brutal killing of one's own people, which only needs to be repeated.Even the war horses suppressed their neighing as if they understood them, and everything was going on quietly.Until someone woke up from sleep and let out a half-scream, until a torch stand fell and ignited the tent and the firelight illuminated the bleeding saber, until the blood soaked the ground, the killing continued.

It was already dawn, and the tents had already been torn apart and blown by the wind or turned into ashes by the fire. Weapons, corpses, and war horses were scattered on the ground.

Looking at all this before Qin Guan, he felt heartbroken. These people died under the knife without much resistance.He doesn't want to think about whether the slasher and the slashed have fought against enemies together before, but these thoughts will always come into his mind.

After the sun rose and the torches were gradually extinguished, Lin Wei looked at the corpses on the ground and the darkened ground, and suddenly shouted: "Has anyone seen Li Jun? Has anyone seen Li Jun?"

No one answered him.

Lin Wei suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he had discovered something, he turned around in place, looked at these things lying on the ground, squinted his eyes, he finally realized what was wrong, Qin Guan also rushed over to ask at this time : "What's wrong? What happened? But Li Jun ran away?"

Lin Wei shook his head, looked at Qin Guan and said, "Quickly ask someone to count how many corpses there are on the ground?"

Qin Guan frowned after hearing this, killing these people is already a last resort, and now counting the bodies of these people, is this too much, Qin Guan said: "If some people run away, just go after them. Stop counting here."

Lin Wei shook his head again, and said, "No, there are too few people here, and our operation is too easy, so hurry up and let people count them."

Qin Guan hurriedly ordered people to count the number of people, and then said to Lin Wei: "I feel a little relieved that some people have escaped."

Lin Wei looked at Qin Guan and said: "Could it be that there has been no war in the past few years, but you have become more comfortable, and you think that by running away these people, you are giving them a chance to live, so what chance will they take away?" , now we don't kill them, don't stop them, what will they do under Li Yuandao's orders, and what will they do? There are always sacrifices in war. Why don't you understand this truth at this time? .”

After Qin Guan heard this, he didn't say anything anymore. He was indeed more merciful than before, and he always felt that even if these people were wrong, it was a last resort. They had to obey those who controlled their destiny. Yuan Dao and Li Jun, these soldiers are just following the wrong people.

After a while, the number of people was counted, and there were only more than 1 people here. After hearing this, Lin Wei kept blaming himself for why so many people were missing. He only realized now. Lin Wei said to Qin Guan: "You feel sorry for them. They don't deserve to die, but these people's lives were given to you by Li Jun, he gave up these people, maybe this is their life, and they can't escape their lives."

After Qin Guan heard this, he didn't say much, and they wanted to catch up with Li Jun.

In the palace, the great monk and the prince have been here for seven days. Wu Ying has also seen the emperor during these seven days. After feeling his pulse, he concluded that the person wearing a hat covering his face that day must be Guo Yunfeng. When he saw him again, he was not so scared anymore, but he didn't dare to give the emperor a diagnosis easily. He knew that Guo Yunfeng would not be able to save the emperor himself, and even his senior brother might not be able to help.

Even so Wuying was not idle, he took the opportunity to give the fake prince several times of medicine, those medicines made the fake prince more dissatisfied with Wang Yun's desire every day, and Wang Yun didn't notice anything unusual, after all he liked this change .

Wu Ying also got in touch with Li Yi. Li Yi didn't trust Wu Ying very much at first, but after the prince revealed his identity and explained the situation to Li Yi briefly, Li Yi trusted him. At that time, he used his identity to rescue the emperor from the palace, but he didn't tell Li Yi when it was necessary.

On the seventh day of chanting, the great monk came over alone. Sixi looked at the alone big monk and asked, "Where is the little monk? Why didn't you come today?"

The great monk said: "He is sick, so it is not appropriate to approach the emperor, so as not to pass the disease to the emperor."

After hearing this, Sixi didn't say anything, and let the monk go into the emperor's bedroom.

Since it was the last day of chanting, Li Yuandao and all the ministers also came here. Li Yuandao didn't see the fake prince while waiting, so he asked, "Where is the prince?"

After looking around, Sixi said, "I didn't seem to see it in the morning. I'll look for it."

Sixi searched around but couldn't find it. After returning, Li Yuandao turned around and saw Wang Yun who was standing on duty. Li Yuandao knew about the fake prince and Wang Yun, so he walked up to Wang Yun and asked, "Look?" Have you reached the prince yet?"

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, then said nonsense in a moment of panic: "Probably stay with the emperor inside."

After Wang Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yi again, and Li Yi had no choice but to say, "I seem to have seen the prince go in last night."

After hearing this, Li Yuandao didn't say anything, walked back, called a palace maid and asked, "Did you see the prince?"

The maid said: "The prince sat beside the emperor all night."

Li Yuandao said: "Is it in there now?"

The maid said: "It was still there in the morning."

Li Yuandao felt a little strange after hearing this, but he didn't say anything more in front of so many people.

At this time, the false prince, who had already been made up by Wu Ying to look like a deaf-mute monk, was being carried out of the capital by several guards.

Wu Ying drugged the fake prince for several days. While the fake prince became more and more dissatisfied with desire, his body gradually became weak. At first he did not tell others about his physical discomfort. After Yun left, he fell into a weak coma, and when he regained consciousness in a daze, he was already lying in the room of the great monk, his eyes were frightened, but he found that the only thing left in his body that could move was his eyeballs , Not long after the great monk left, guards came and carried him into a sedan chair and out of the palace.

Wu Ying also proposed to leave on this day. At first the guards disagreed, but Wu Ying said that he was only going to Qing'an Temple, and he lived there from the beginning. Now that the little monk is sick, he went to show it. Even a little medical skill can't heal the emperor, and he will come to the palace to be punished after he heals the little monk.

The guards went to Sixi to talk about it. At that time, Sixi was busy looking for a fake prince. After hearing this, he agreed to let Wuying leave without thinking too much.

While the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was waiting for the great monk to finish chanting, many monks came to Qing'an Temple, saying that they knew that today's chanting and blessings were over, so they came to pick up the great monk.

They waited outside together, and after a while, the great monk finally came out, followed by a young monk with a bald head, Li Yuandao was surprised to find that it was the prince who had his head shaved.

The great monk explained that the prince was willing to be ordained, practice for the emperor, and pray for the emperor.

Li Yuandao gave Sixi a wink, and Sixi hurried into the bedroom to have a look. He didn't find anything unusual, and he didn't find any hair on the ground.

Li Yuandao looked at the bald prince. He knew that this was the real prince, but where did the fake prince go and how did he get in? Li Yuandao turned his head and glanced at Wang Yun. The bald prince.

Those monks in Qing'an Temple didn't give Li Yuandao time to react, and immediately took the great monk and the prince who had just been ordained back home, saying that although the sutra had been recited in the palace, it would be bad if the time passed. .

Li Yuandao had no choice but to watch them walk out of the palace.

Li Yuandao ordered people to search the palace, but he couldn't find the shadow of the fake prince. He thought of the little monk at this time, so he sent someone to look for it in the yard, but the guards there said that the little monk was sent back to the temple in the morning .While talking, the guard who sent the young monk back just came back. Li Yuandao asked them where they sent the young monk. The guard said that they went to Qing'an Temple. There seemed to be a Dharma meeting there today, and there were quite a lot of people.

Li Yuandao asked those to go to Qing'an Temple to have a look again, and then sent people to chase the monk and prince out of the palace.

Until the evening, the people who went out to chase the great monk and the prince did not report any news. In Qing'an Temple, when the guards arrived, there was nothing moving in the whole temple except for the white smoke curling up in front of the statue. Qing'an Temple became an empty temple within half a day.
