Chapter 459 The monk goes to rescue the monk
Chapter 459: Monk goes to save the monk
The terrain here is very strange, with mountains all over the world, and there is only one entrance. This entrance is actually a small river. The river water pours into the Gem Lake. However, it is winter and the river water has frozen and can be directly in from the ice surface.
But next to the river, at the pass that enters the mountain, there is a small checkpoint set by robbers. This is the only way to go and you can't get around it. You either go in from here or you have to climb in from behind the mountain.
Wang Ping'an took his people slowly approaching the entrance. He called the two robber messengers and asked, "There is only this way to enter the mountain? If you don't walk here and climb in from the back of the mountain, is the road easier?"
The two robber messengers shook their heads together, and one of them said, "If you go back to the master, there are no roads behind the mountain, and they are all cliffs. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, so our king... So that thief Qu Zhimao built his nest here."
Another said: "You can only enter from here. There are guards at the pass. It is not difficult to seize it. They will not defend it even if they see someone attacking you. The difficulty is that when they see someone attacking you, they will immediately ignite the fire, and the people in the hollow mountain will hide it. There are so many mountains here, let alone hide a thousand or eight hundred people, even if they hide tens of thousands of people in, they can hide it!"
When Wang Ping'an heard this, he frowned and said nothing. Su Dingfang and Gu Lantian came over together.
Su Dingfang said: "This is easy to deal with. Let them go in and tell the people in the pass that they would not agree to redeem the people in the direction of Yumen Pass. They would report to Qu Zhimao immediately to attract the attention of the defenders. We sent elite troops and suddenly rushed in. We would definitely take down the pass in one fell swoop so that they would not have time to ignite the fire and call the police!"
Gu Lantian said: "Yes, I mean that too. There is nothing else to do!"
Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Then do it!" He waved to the guard group and picked out twenty people with outstanding force. Brother Ouyang naturally had to participate, and fierce people like Hou Ling and Niu Dali were also among them.
Wang Ping'an said to the two robber messengers: "If you make meritorious service this time, if you can successfully rescue them... To be honest, the two high-ranking officials who were arrested were not real prime ministers and generals, but their substitutes. But even if they were substitutes, they had no value, but if they were arrested, it would damage the face of the court, so we had to wipe out Qu Zhisheng."
Both robber messengers said: "We all know the substitute, everyone in Zheliu County knows it, and we naturally hear the news, but the king... but we must do what Qu Zhisheng told me to go back, so we will send the letter to you."
Nodding, Wang Ping'an patted them and said, "You two have made meritorious service. If you can save those two substitutes, I will save you from being guilty and let you two enter the army as lieutenants. The future is bright, are you willing?"
The two robber messengers nodded quickly, both of whom were overjoyed and said of course they were willing.
Only then did Wang Ping'an let the two of them lead the way to earn the levels at the pass. Ouyang Li led the team leader, followed behind them and touched the pass. The large group of people hid in the dark, waiting for news.
After a long time, there was still no movement inside. Wang Ping'an was a little anxious and was about to send someone to see him again, but he suddenly saw a fire at the pass, and the fire was rising into the sky, and the shouts of killing sounded!
Everyone was very anxious. What was going on? It was just a pass. There were people leading the way and sending elite troops. Why did the other party discover it?
Wang Ping'an felt dizzy and thought to himself: "It's broken. It's really a good idea to rescue Fang Xuanling!"
He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed forward, and shouted: "Roar up, grab the pass quickly, and rush straight to Xiankongshan, hurry up!"
The guard group behind did not move, while the Turkic soldiers, led by Su Dingfang, supported their weapons and rushed to the pass!
Just now, Ouyang Li and the others touched the edge of the pass and it went very smoothly. They were all skilled in martial arts. They sneaked straight to the mountain pass, and the robbers guarding the card did not find any abnormality. Ouyang Li ordered the two robbers to attract the attention of the robbers guarding the card, but the two robbers were very obedient and let the past pass, without any intention of being stubborn.
But after the two of them entered the gate, there was no movement for a long time. Just as Ouyang Li and the others were impatient, they saw someone coming out of the gate, and more than a dozen people were holding something!
Before Ouyang Li and the others could understand the taste, they saw the robbers breaking the things in their hands on a tall bag, and then someone started flint!
Ouyang Li immediately understood that he wanted to ignite the fire and call the police. Those people were carrying tincture oil cans, and the big bag was a pile of firewood!
The two robber messengers did not really surrender at all, but pretended to be very obedient. Once they broke away from control, they immediately reported the news to the robbers guarding the card inside!
Ouyang Li and his men rushed out of the darkness where they were hiding and rushed towards the fire. But it was too late, and the fire started to catch up in an instant, while the robbers ran to the lake, shouting, "The officers and soldiers are here, the officers and soldiers are here, brothers, be prepared quickly!"
Ouyang Li and others were anxious and used their light body skills to chase after them. In a moment, they caught up with these robbers. They swung their swords and cut them off all the robbers!
But after such a struggle, wouldn’t the robbers in the mountains know the truth?
Su Dingfang led the Turkic soldiers to the ice of Baoshi Lake. When he saw Ouyang Li and the others, he said angrily: "What's going on? Why did they still let them burn the fire? What about those two bastards?"
Ouyang Li was very unhappy and said, "Accidentally, it was unexpected that who would have thought those two guys would change their minds." He glanced at the robber's corpse and said, "I didn't see those two guys, they wouldn't have run away!"
Hou Ling said: "It took them a long time to go in before these robbers came out to light the fire. It was probably to delay time so that they could escape into the mountains!"
Niu Dali said with a sneer and said, "These robbers are not stupid either. Those two guys are determined to be thieves and refuse to surrender to the court!"
Su Dingfang said, "Miscalculation. Since Qu Zhimao would send them, it means that they are hard-core confidants and will never surrender. For a moment, they were deceived by them!"
"What's the use of saying this now? Hurry up and kill them before the robbers are not ready!" Ouyang Li raised his big sword and rushed forward with the man.
Su Dingfang did not complain anymore, and led the Turkic soldiers to follow him and rushed towards Xiankongshan opposite the lake.
In a short while, Wang Ping'an also came to the lake, followed by Gu Lantian and You Xiujie. They were not the main combat force, so they were staking the formation behind them.
Gu Lantian stomped his feet and shouted, "This time it's over. Qu Zhimao must kill Prince Fang. Our future is over here!"
You Xiujie remained silent, her eyes kept turning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wang Ping'an was also so anxious that his mouth was dry and said, "I didn't prepare in advance and did not expect any accidents. It seems... it seems that it's really bad!"
When they were anxious, You Xiujie suddenly said, "There is a road to enter the mountain here, and it is naturally the same road to go out. To prevent unexpected situations, you have to guard the exit well to prevent the robbers from escaping. The princes and the governor of the ancient times, the lower officials are civil servants, and they are useless to rush up. It is better to let the lower officials lead people here to prevent the robbers from escaping. Maybe they can even recover some defeat!"
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "This seems useless. Let's go into the mountains together. If there are multiple players, the chances of winning are even greater."
Gu Lantian said, "No, it's not necessary for everyone to go in together. Let Lord You stay here. Maybe you can block a few robbers and make a deal with the court!"
"Then, okay!" Wang Ping'an felt that it was not appropriate, but he couldn't say what was wrong. However, Gu Lantian and You Xiujie insisted, so he had to agree.
You Xiujie took her personal soldiers and entourage back to the pass, while Wang Ping'an and the others continued to move forward.
While running across the lake, Gu Lantian said, "When you see something wrong, you probably want to abandon your official position and escape, stop being a governor, and flee to a remote place to be a commoner!"
Wang Ping'an said a word, stopped, looked back, and said, "The life and death of the Prince Fang is unknown. There is no need to abandon his official position and escape now, right?"
Gu Lantian said: "When Fang Xiangye finds out about his life and death, can he still escape? We will definitely watch him off so that he can take the blame! He is now running away, but he can still save his life. If he escapes too late, he will even lose his life."
Wang Ping'an said angrily: "Then you let him go!"
Gu Lantian smiled gloomyly and said viciously: "If he wants to escape, let him escape. If Prince Fang did not escape this disaster, then we would say that he colluded with Qu Zhimao, who was in harmony with the inside and outside, causing Prince Fang to be killed. It is said that the family thief is difficult to guard against, and we have no choice. Anyway, he has escaped and there is no evidence to die. If he takes the blame, we have nothing to do with it!"
Wang Ping'an stomped his feet and said, "You two are just concerned about intrigue. The officials have done this so big, and they are still planning to do this. It's simply outrageous!"
He ran away again and it was fine if Wang Wendu, but Fang Xuanling wanted to save him, and monk Xuanzang even more wanted to save him. Otherwise, how would people write "Journey to the West", how would people write fan novels about "Journey to the West", how would they make movies and TV series? Tang Xuanzang cannot be saved... That would have cost many people's jobs!
Gu Lantian also ran along, but he was dissatisfied. You said we were intrigue and plotting against each other, and you didn’t think about it. If you don’t plot carefully, we can be such a big official!
At the pass, You Xiujie did not abandon his official position and escaped. He found a big stone to sit down, asked the followers to take out pens and ink, sprinkle a piece of underwear, and said viciously: "Those two guys must be plotting against me. How can I wait for death? Let me write a memorial first to explain this matter. They plotted against me, and I also wanted them to taste my power!"
You Xiujie knew in her heart that the robbers were ready at this time. Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were probably unable to save them. But Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian were not willing to bear the consequences. He must be the one who took the blame. The dog was anxious and jumped over the wall, and the rabbit was anxious and biting people. How could he not struggle? When he was on the execution ground, he could have two people to accompany him, and someone would be at the bottom!
He wrote down the arrest of Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu in a jealous way, and said that Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian were not good at doing things well, did not listen to their advice, and forced himself to send someone to pretend to Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu. They insisted on their own actions, which resulted in the failure of the rescue operation, and the crime was extremely serious and they had to bear the responsibility, but they were innocent and innocent, and they did something wrong under their coercion, which was forgivable!
After writing the memorial, he called a confidant and said, "Take this memorial close to you and send it to Chang'an and present it to the emperor. You should not let others know about it, so as not to send someone to intercept it. If you change horses or not, you must send the memorial to Chang'an as fast as possible. You must not stop on the road, do you understand?"
The confidant nodded and said, "Master, everyone who is young sees this matter and understands it very well. The young one must snatch this memorial before the memorials of the two dog officials, send it to the capital and present it to the emperor. Everything will be decided by the emperor, so that the master will not be wronged!"
You Xiujie said, "Okay, please give me all!" As he said that, he stood up and bowed to his confidant. His confidant quickly returned the gift, not daring to waste time at all, ran out of the pass, and rode away.
Wang Ping'an followed the Turkic army and ran all the way to the front of Xiankong Mountain. Xiankong Mountain was extremely large, and there were countless cave entrances. Turkic soldiers rushed in, looking for robbers like headless flies!
Gu Lantian said anxiously: "This is not possible. There are so many caves in the mountains and the paths are complicated. We cannot find Qu Zhimao directly. Even if we kill to the innermost point, we are afraid that he will escape from another exit long ago and we will not be able to block it completely!"
Wang Ping'an turned around and shouted, "Hui Zheng, in trouble, do you two know if the road is going?"
Hui Zhenghe kept following him when he was in trouble, but they were not strong enough and they were getting farther and farther away. Seeing this, a guard hurriedly ran back. Seeing that they really couldn't run, he simply carried them over.
When he got closer, Hui Zheng shouted, "Uncle Master, why are you running so fast!"
Wang Ping'an shouted: "Don't you talk nonsense, have you two explored the road in advance? Do you know if the road to the mountain is going to go, which cave entrance should you go?"
Hui Zheng said: "I know, I know, my nephew has a map here, which was drawn by the local people, and it was very detailed. When this place was not a robber's nest, the people often came in!" As he said that, he took out a sheepskin from his arms and handed it to Wang Ping'an.
The guards caught fire and broke the fire. Wang Ping'an looked at the map with the fire and said, "The place where this circle is drawn is the bottomless pit, right?"
Huizheng said: "Yes, there is a bottomless pit. I heard that Master Xuanzang was locked up there, but now it is unclear whether the robbers still locked him up here!"
Wang Ping'an held the map in his hand, identified the direction, and said, "It should be coming in from this cave entrance. Hurry, we don't have to fight the robbers, we will save people first!" He ran to an entrance of the cave first.
Everyone followed closely and rushed into Xiankong Mountain together!
