Chapter 83 Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha
The Qingni Ridge was covered with dark clouds and light rain. "Fuck!" Suddenly, a angrily scolded. When people looked back, they saw a general falling down with a mud behind him. They were staring at the Sichuan soldiers who were struggling to go downhill on the road and laughed loudly when they saw this.
"It's okay if it's a little heavier, but it's so upsetting." A general wearing a red cloak frowned. He was not wrong. The surface of the hillside was wet and trampled on by countless feet, making a thin layer of mud. Below it is hard soil that has long been stepped on, and it is hard. This road has an incline, which is really too difficult to walk. If you are not careful, you will fall all over the mud.
Some places are covered with stone slabs, but they are uneven. When you step on them, you will beep and have a "beep" sound, and you will have muddy and water on your face.
The general who frowned and spoke was Li Tinggui. He had a wide face and a tiger-back and a bear-waist. He was completely a standard northern man... because he was indeed from Hedong (Shanxi), and most of the imperial guards of Shu were from foreign people, and the group of migrants who destroyed the Former Shu.
Li Tinggui is now the leader of the Shu army on the northern border line. He led the "Northern Army Camp Commander" with the military power commanded by the Shengkonghe Du. He arrived at Qingniling three days ago. The reinforcements he led were too late to go to the front part. As soon as he arrived in Xingzhou, he heard that Qin, Feng, Cheng and Steps had fallen; the Zhou army was really too fast.
Li Tinggui's thought now is to guard Qingniling and see the situation... A few days ago, Wang Zhaoyuan, the official of the Privy Council, yelled to counterattack. Li Tinggui really wanted to slap the guy to death. He knew how to brag about him.
Looking back on the twenty years, Li Tinggui felt that the Shu army could still send troops to fight for power. Now, it should be burned with the terrain to defend it. If the Shu army had a strong opponent in front of the field, would Qin Feng be lost? Li Tinggui believed that Wang Zhaoyuan's thinking was not about his brain, but about his farts; it seemed that he claimed that he had a brilliant plan and did not have to fight at all, and he could count the elite soldiers on the other side to death by calculating.
Li Tinggui and his generals walked down the hillside, turned around and looked around. There were endless forests on the east and north sides. Except for the Qingniling Road, there was no population in the mountains. There were no mountains and forests in the east. There were no mountains and forests in the north, but the continuous hillside forests in the north extended vertically and could not see at a glance... The mountains in the southeast were higher, the mountains were steep, and cliffs stood four times. Only the Shu Road in the south was the road, and reinforcements came along the Shu Road.
Li Tinggui and his party ignored the difficulty of walking on the road and walked south along the edge of the mountains and forests in the west, but the terrain was continuous, and the places they could walk were always under the control of Shu Road.
It was already afternoon, and he was about to give up this inspection. He found a place to go, met Shu Road eastward, and wanted to return to the military camp.
At this moment, Li Tinggui found that someone wearing green clothes was hiding in the bushes in the forest on a hillside. Li Tinggui looked at it for a while and found that there were no villagers everywhere. He only saw a temple under the hillside. He asked the guide and follower of Qingniling Inn: "What kind of temple is that?"
The guide hurriedly said, "It's a nunnery."
Li Tinggui observed it all over again and suddenly said, "There is a spy on the mountain. People come to intercept the spy from all sides and capture the spy!"
"Get order!" The two generals clasped their fists, waved their hands and ran towards the hillside with their respective soldiers. When they reached the front of the mountain, they divided into two groups and surrounded the back of the mountain. Li Tinggui and the remaining soldiers also followed and went straight to the nunnery.
A dilapidated courtyard, the building on the top of the Green Tile Shee Mountain is located on the hillside. When Li Tinggui and others walked to the temple gate, they saw an old nun with wrinkles on her face clasped inside and sighed: "Amitabha..."
Li Tinggui ignored it, and the horse soldiers around him rode around the temple. After a while, the soldiers in the mountains and forests came down, escorting a middle-aged woman in a green Taoist robe, with her arms tied behind her back, and her head drooped down.
This woman is obviously not a nun. She has long hair on her head and doesn’t act like a monk... Looking at her dress, could she be a Taoist priest? Everyone is also very curious about when the nun and Taoist priest can get together?
"Are you a Taoist priest?" Li Tinggui asked indeed.
The woman didn't speak out. Li Tinggui said again: "If you are a Taoist priest and have a certificate of vassal, we will arrest you wrong. I'll ask someone to let you go."
A moment later, a general cursed: "General Li asked you, are you mute?"
Li Tinggui immediately said, "Strip your clothes and search carefully!"
"I am a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest..." The woman spoke immediately. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she had the accent from the Central Plains.
Li Tinggui stopped talking to her and shouted, "Catch all the people in the nunnery!"
After hearing this, the soldiers rushed into the temple. At this time, a dozen nuns wearing cloth hats and gray cloth robes walked down the stone steps of the main hall. A nun in his thirties saw the soldiers rushing in and hurriedly said, "How can abruptly move a war in the pure land of Buddhism?" The female nuns behind picked up sticks. Seeing this, the soldiers picked up weapons and shouted, "Nuns should resist with their weapons, and kill them?"
Li Tinggui also walked in and said, "Take it!"
The nun was holding a Buddhist bead in her hand. When she saw the soldiers rushing up, she stopped the people behind her and said, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, put down the butcher's knife..."
Everyone saw that they threw away their sticks and rushed forward, completely ignoring what the nun was thinking about, and tied them with a hemp rope. Another group of people rushed inside, and soon they took out two women. One was black and strong, while the other was a teenage girl.
At this time, the nun holding the Buddhist beads could not count the numbers of the Buddhist beads. She was tied up and knelt on the ground. She said, "Ni and others hide in the deep mountains, the ancient Buddha of green lamps, and they are not in conflict with the world. Can the general deal with our unarmed people? "
Li Tinggui sneered: "You collude with the Zhou Dynasty, robbing the outside world, hiding spies, and still have no disputes with the world? They all are taken back to the camp and question them one by one."
Two of the people with hair on their heads said nothing. The teenage girl shouted: "Who is the spy? We just passed by and lived here temporarily. Who do you think is the spy?"
One of the sergeants who were escorting him laughed and said, "We say you are a spy or a spy, and it's useless to shout out your throat."
After he said that, he took the rope and was about to go forward, suddenly a ball of white smoke rose in front of him. The sergeant was confused and covered his face and screamed "Wow" with a shout. Seeing this, the two soldiers nearby immediately rushed forward. There seemed to be a silver light flashing in the white smoke. The two of them threw away their spears together, holding their necks "Oh," and screaming in pain.
It was almost time for everyone to say that she had hurt people. They saw that she had already run to the wall, jumped up and climbed on the edge of the wall with both hands, but fell down suddenly, sat on the ground, and cried with a "wow". When everyone looked back, they saw her palm spreading, and her hands were covered with blood. It turned out that there were spikes on the wall, but she pressed them on it.
I saw the little girl wearing a Taoist robe, a bun, and a cloth bag on her back. She had a melon-shaped face and single eyelids, and her face was white and red, and she looked very good, at most she was fifteen or sixteen years old.
When everyone saw her falling into the yard, they breathed a sigh of relief and surrounded her calmly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sergeant who had just been splashed with gray face suddenly started to go crazy, humming and jumping in the yard, happy like a madman. The general shouted loudly, but he ignored it and continued to jump in the yard. Moreover, the guy was a strong man of all sizes, and jumping up was particularly funny. For a moment, the appearance in the temple was really weird.
Li Tinggui looked back and frowned and said, "Take them away and leave here." After that, he turned around and left the temple first.
The little girl was caught and shouted loudly: "My master is Fu Yaozi! I have seen your imperial concubine, Mrs. Huarui, and take me to see Mrs. Huarui!"
"Huh?" Li Tinggui looked back at her and said, "The little lady wants to take care of her separately, don't hurt her."
This place is not far from Shu Road. The army tied the "captives" together, drove them up Shu Road, and headed north along the road. When they reached the inn, they were the first reinforcements station to the Shu army. The inn became the headquarters of the central army. In addition to the little lady, the nuns and the two women who were scared and trembling were locked into a guest room in the inn.
When Li Tinggui saw Zhao Chongtao, a guest minister who was the chief magistrate in the army, he asked him to interrogate the spy. However, the young lady was locked up alone and ignored him.
Zhao Chongtao was the son of the Secretariat, and he was not a case-trial. His method was very simple. He immediately ordered the two female Taoist priests to be hung under the eaves of the inn, and then, without asking any questions, he would beat them with a whip.
"Boll the spy to death and beat me!" Zhao Chongtao shouted. The two soldiers were urged to untie the armor on their bodies, picked up the whip and slapped it "cracklingly", making blood beads splatter, and screams rang through the sky.
The black and strong woman begged for mercy and cried, her body hangs under the beam of the house, and her face is twisted. Even the military man can't stand the whip in the army, let alone the woman. With enough force, her clothes will be broken, and blood will be seen immediately, which will make the skin bloom.
After a while, both women fainted, and the sergeant hung cold water from the well and poured it on. Blood suddenly flowed on the ground. The black and strong woman woke up and moaned in pain. The rag and flesh on her body were stuck together. Another woman was hanging there motionless. The sergeant stepped forward and looked at her nose and turned around and said, "Judge Zhao, one of them died."
"I will help you, I will help you with anything, please let me help..." the black and strong woman begged.
At this time, Zhao Chongtao took a stool and sat down, asking the clerk to prepare a copy and record his confession. The woman said, "I am a spy from the Zhou Dynasty, I am really..."
Zhao Chongtao asked for a long time, but the woman didn't know what she asked and said nothing. The only useful thing was to admit that she came from Tokyo and was exploring the terrain to do detailed work in Qingniling Temple.
The clerk said in it: "Envoy Zhao, I know a way. Wu Zhou left behind, which can scare the prince to death..."
