Chapter 34: Assault on the View of the National Teacher
"Report~"
At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest stumbled into the alchemy room, interrupting Sima Jin's memories.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Sima Jin's face: "Why are you so panicked? Is the sky falling?"
The Taoist priest who entered took a few deep breaths and said: "Master, General Chen Dingyuan led his troops into the Yulin Guard camp and killed several Yulin Guards. Now they are in a stalemate with the Yulin Guards. Judging from the situation, the Yulin Guards are about to be unable to withstand it.
Living."
"What!" Sima Jin stood up in disbelief: "Chen Dingyuan dares to do such a treacherous and unethical thing, and he is not afraid of the aftermath? Where is the Forbidden Army? Let them immediately support the Yulin Guards."
"We sent people to inform the Forbidden Army a long time ago, but the commander of the Forbidden Army killed our messenger in front of the camp and then closed the camp without leaving."
Sima Jin fell down on the futon. Why did things develop to this point?
He believed that if he controlled the king and the court, he could control the country of Kan, and no one could overthrow his plan.
But they only forgot to penetrate a country's military power.
Although Sima Jin is a monk, his cultivation is only at the foundation-building stage.
When facing ordinary people, he can naturally do whatever he wants, but when facing thousands of troops, depending on his cultivation, he can only lie down and wait for death.
At this point, Sima Jin can only resort to the rat weapon.
Although the king still has a few days left to live, it seems he can no longer wait.
"Immediately extinguish the alchemy furnace, and all the Grand Master's gatekeepers will gather in the main hall and follow me into the palace." The dust in his hand waved slightly, and a trace of determination flashed on his face: "Send spies to monitor the Prince's Mansion at all times, and report immediately if there is anything unusual."
Things are changing in the North County of Kan State, and countless spies are secretly testing the situation.
The sound of weapons clashing kept coming from the darkest alleys in the capital. When the sound of killing stopped, only black-clothed corpses were left on the scene.
When Chen Dingyuan led his troops to attack the Yulin Guards, he failed to hide the secrets of the imperial master. Naturally, Sima Jin also failed to hide from the spies sent by the Prince's Mansion when he led people into the imperial city.
As soon as the group of Taoist priests left the Guoshi Temple, the secret agent had already spread the news to the prince's ears.
In the Prince's Mansion, a member of the palace knocked on the door.
"The monarch has issued an order, ordering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace immediately to discuss important matters."
Li Wenzhi looked coldly at the unfamiliar eunuch in front of him, feeling filled with emotions.
In the palace, everyone knew Li Wenzhi, the great eunuch who was used by the monarch to deliver orders, but this time it was an unfamiliar little eunuch who was sent to announce the order. The meaning of this is self-evident.
"Is it my father who wants to see me, or Sima Jin?"
The eunuch who delivered the order was stunned, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Prince, please spare your life. I was forced to do so. I don't dare to do it anymore. Go and die!"
Before he finished speaking, the eunuch who was kowtowing jumped up and stabbed a short sword from his wide sleeves, pointing it directly at Li Wenzhi's throat.
Li Wenzhi's feet did not move at all, but more than ten spears were thrust out from his left and right sides, turning the eunuch who jumped into the air into a hornet's nest.
The soldiers used their arms hard, and the eunuch's body was thrown far away like rags.
"The prince's guards obey the order and follow me into the palace to rescue him!"
The three hundred prince's guards, who had been waiting for a long time, loudly accepted orders and filed out of the prince's residence.
Outside the mansion, a full two thousand border troops also gathered here.
This was left by Chen Dingyuan, and now they all obey the prince's command.
"Do you want to bring White Snake with you?"
Before leaving the house, Xu Wenshu suddenly spoke.
Entering the palace this time is a decisive battle, and every ounce of combat power should be used.
A monster in the foundation-building stage can withstand a thousand of the most elite soldiers in a narrow street fighting terrain.
Li Wenzhi thought for a moment and then shook his head: "I made an appointment with White Snake when I invited him to the capital. He will not be allowed to participate in the battle between me and the imperial master. Moreover, after we leave, the defense of the Prince's Mansion will be empty. I don't want White Snake to stay here."
A little peace."
Somewhere on the roof of the Prince's Mansion, a man and a snake were watching the black tide of soldiers swarming towards the palace.
The sadness on Li Ruonan's face lingered.
"Dabai, where is father going?"
White Snake was tasting the roast chicken that had just come out of the pot and made a few hissing sounds.
It naturally knew where Li Wenzhi was, but he was not prepared to tell Li Ruonan.
Although Li Wenzhi has various reasons, it is better for the little girl to know less about her father usurping the throne and killing her grandfather. Remaining innocent is the greatest happiness for a little girl in this era.
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Li Wenzhi's soldiers divided into two groups.
One team, led by Li Wenzhi and Xu Wenshu, went straight to the palace, while the other team turned back to the Guoshi Temple on the way.
Cut the grass without removing the root, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
The junior disciples who stayed behind at the Guoshi Temple heard the knock on the door and opened the door impatiently. Just as they were about to scold him, two steel knives came in through the crack in the door.
Pfft.
With two sword strikes, the disciple fell in a pool of blood, and the door was instantly breached.
The glorious Imperial Guard Temple in the past is now filled with ink-armored border troops and a small number of silver-armored prince guards leading the way.
The Imperial Master, who had taken away most of his senior disciples, had little power to fight back, and the soldiers rushed into the hall, slashing and killing them.
A group of Kan officials in official uniforms came out of the main hall, loudly ordered the soldiers to stop fighting and immediately exit the Guoshi Temple.
The leading lieutenants were not surprised when they saw this, they looked at each other as if this was really the case.
Although Sima Jin left the Guoshiguan, he also left behind a group of ministers in the capital.
The high-ranking ministers of Kan State are now gathered in the main hall of Guoshi Temple. According to Sima Jin's idea, even if Li Wenzhi takes the opportunity to attack Guoshi Temple, there are so many ministers who would never dare to kill them all.
But Sima Jin missed one person, and that was General Chen Dingyuan.
The prince's guard who was leading the way was holding a steel knife in his hand. He was uncertain whether he should return or advance, but the Mojia border army next to him had already strode forward.
The leading minister hurriedly yelled: "I am the young master of the state of Kan. What are you going to do?"
But the border army doesn't care whether you are a young man or a young woman. He handed the steel knife forward, and the tip of the knife stabbed out of the back of the young man. The leading official of the first rank of the imperial court fell in a pool of blood.
When the other ministers saw this, they dared to stop them. They immediately dispersed. However, the black armored men had already received the order. Everyone in the Grand Master's Temple was killed and no one was left alive to avoid future troubles. The soldiers swarmed forward.
In just a few breaths, all these fat-headed and big-eared officials were killed and wounded, leaving only a few half-dead mouths. The black-armored captain rushed into the hall first.
This is where the alchemy furnace of the national master Sima Jin is located, and it is also the core of the entire national master's view. Their mission today is to destroy the alchemy furnace and kill all the Taoist priests.
boom
A beam of fire fell into the soldiers and exploded.
The bodies of several soldiers who were unable to dodge were blown several meters away. They fell to the ground and could not stand up again. Although the hundreds of tempered steel armors they wore blocked the flames and explosions, the flesh and internal organs inside had been shattered.
.
At the entrance of the main hall, several Taoist priests stood in a row, forming seals with their hands. They were the ones who released the fire just now.
The Mojia border troops were not in a disorderly manner, and formed a formation on the spot. The soldiers holding shields stood on the outside, and the roots of spears stood upright in the gaps.
The remaining more than a thousand soldiers inserted their weapons into the ground, took off their long bows from their backs, set up bows and arrows, and the sound of firing bows could not be heard.
The Taoist priest in front of the main hall suddenly changed his calm expression.
Several Taoist priests hurriedly threw out the unformed flames in an attempt to disturb the archers.
But the black armor holding the shield on the outside did not dodge and stepped forward with his shield raised.
The fire exploded instantly when it hit the giant shield, but was blocked by the giant shield.
The few fires only injured a few shield-holding soldiers, and no one died.
The leader of the school captain sneered: "A small trick can scare ordinary people, but how can it stop an elite division that has fought hundreds of battles?"
The steel knife in his hand fell, and thousands of arrows were fired in an instant.
The Taoist priest in front of the main hall panicked and put up a magic shield, but it was pierced by a hail of arrows in an instant. The Taoist priest under the shield was shot to death by a crossbow before he could scream.
