Chapter 2187 The rescue operation continues!
"Hey~?Aren't these monks famous monks from Puguang Temple? Why did you come here~?"
"So many monks are going to hold a Dharma Assembly!"
"Further forward is Jian'anfang. It's not peaceful there these days!"
At the third hour of Shen Shi, a group of monks wearing yellow monks appeared on the street northwest of Shuorenfang, Taiyuan City. The monks walked westward, and there was a chariot surrounded by a veil curtain among them. Two monks were carried forward. Through the veil curtain, you could vaguely see a middle-aged monk sitting upright with a solemn appearance and clasped his hands on the chariot. When the people on the roadside saw such a formation, they couldn't help but talk.
The location of Shuorenfang is very subtle. Previously, Kang Chang'an and Zhu Xiesheng were hunted by the government and the Wang family, so they hid in the fifth house on the east side of Shuorenfang. And a while from Shuorenfang and Wang to the west side of Wang is Jian'anfang, and Tongfu Inn is nearby.
To this day, Taiyuan City has been blocking the city for several days. Anyone with a little brain can realize that something big happened in Taiyuan City is not just because the government wants to arrest the Turkic spies lurking in the city, but there must be something big that ordinary people don’t know, otherwise the government would not have blocked the city gate for so many days.
In addition, yesterday, Li Junxian sent a large army to build an encirclement one mile away with Tongfu Inn, so that the yards in this area are assisting in blockade. People outside the yard are not allowed to enter and exit at will, resulting in the area near Tongfu Inn becoming a "regulated area". It is very troublesome for ordinary people to enter and exit there.
As the largest inn in Taiyuan City, Tongfu Inn has not received customers in recent days. It is said that Tongfu Inn has been occupied by a group of unknown people. So combined with these, most of the well-informed people in Taiyuan City know that Tongfu Inn is currently "not peaceful"!
But few people can explain the specific "unpeaceful" method clearly.
Some people speculate that the spy the government wants to capture is hiding in Tongfu Inn, but this statement is not tenable at all. If the spy is in Tongfu Inn, why wouldn’t the government send troops directly to arrest people?
Some people also speculate that there are some big people living in Tongfu Inn, so they don’t let ordinary people get close to each other. But if there are really big people of this level, they won’t live in the inn...
There were all kinds of speculations for a while...
"Hmm~? I heard someone say this morning that Puguang Temple is preparing to hold a meeting in a small market west of Tongfu Inn to preach to the people!"
A well-informed person spoke out.
"What? Puguang Temple actually wants to hold a meeting in Jian'anfang? This is a rare opportunity! Who doesn't know that the monks in Puguang Temple have all the profound Buddhist teachings?"
"That's right! Puguang Temple rarely teaches methods, so you can't miss anything you say this time!"
Puguang Temple was built during the Jian'an period of the Han Dynasty. It has a long history and is the most famous and largest ancient temple in Taiyuan City. There are many eminent monks in the temple, and the incense is abundant, and there are extremely widespread believers among the people. When Li Yuan was still the King of Tang in Taiyuan, he often brought his wife to Puguang Temple to incense.
Later, Lao Li's family won the country, and Puguang Temple's status among the people in Taiyuan became higher. There were always people who went to the temple to eat incense. Occasionally, monks from Puguang Temple also came to the folk to preach. At this time, the seats were full, like a grand event!
However, Puguang Temple sends monks out to preach every year, which makes every ritual meeting held by Puguang Temple particularly rare. It is rare to see such a "popular" ceremony like today. After seeing it, the people naturally find it strange and want to "join the fun".
"Hehe! I heard that during this Dharma Assembly, the host of Puguang Temple also invited a monk from India to survive the Dharma name. It is said that this monk is not only extremely profound in Buddhism, but also can replace people with serious illnesses to eliminate disasters and drive away diseases and evil spirits!"
"What? Eliminate disasters and eliminate diseases and evil spirits? Is it so amazing~?"
"Hey! I don't know if there is such a god, but you see that Master Huiyuan, the presidency of the temple, was walking, while Master Dunan from Tianzhu was sitting in a chariot, which shows that Master Dunan should have some real skills, otherwise how could he be recognized by Master Huiyuan?
Moreover, Tianzhu is the origin of Buddhism. Even Master Xuanzang from Chang'an City is going to Tianzhu to seek scriptures. It can be seen that there is a prosperous Buddhist teachings. This difficulty comes from Tianzhu. Perhaps he really has the ability to eliminate disasters and drive away diseases and evil spirits?"
"It's reasonable and reasonable! So, today's Dharma Assembly must be very exciting! It's just that Jian'anfang is now martial law, so I don't know if we can still go in!"
"Don't you know if you go and try it?"
Soon, the people watching the fun along the way were in groups of three or five, and began to follow the monks of Puguang Temple and walk towards Jian'anfang.
In most people think that it is rare to encounter the Puguang Temple Dharma Assembly. Although Jian'anfang is martial law, if the monks of Puguang Temple can enter, they should be able to enter as well!
After a while, the monks of Puguang Temple really stopped at the gate of Jian'anfangfang. The soldiers from Bingzhou camp guarded the gate. Before that, no one had tried to enter Jian'anfang from here, but without exception, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding outside the gate. Unless you were originally a resident of Jian'anfang, the guard would let you in. But now facing the monks of Puguang Temple, the guard just stepped forward and asked a few questions, and then let them go!
"Did you relax your defense today?"
The people who were behind the monks of Puguang Temple were delighted when they saw this scene and said secretly.
So, a few brave people came forward and said to the guard: "Several soldiers, we are going to listen to the monks of Puguang Temple preaching, and I hope it will be convenient!"
In fact, when they said this, the brave people were already mentally prepared to be expelled. But to their surprise, the guards of the palace outside Jian'anfang Gate were surprisingly easy to speak today.
The guard looked at them, nodded first, and then asked, "What's the name? Which house do you live in?"
The people were stunned at first, then bowed and replied: "Go back to Jun Ye, my name is Wu Junyi, live in Shuangrenfang!"
"My name is Gu Hengtao, and my head of the family Shuorenfang!"
"My name is An Shaocheng, and I live in Shuorenfang!"
After saying that, several people looked at the guard with eager eyes.
While they were talking, a document behind the guard registered in a booklet. After they said that, the guard nodded and said to them: "Okay! Go in! After entering, you can only go to Puguang Temple to preach. Remember not to go to Tongfu Inn next to them!"
"Yes, yes! Jun Ye, don't worry, we just go in to listen to the preaching!"
The people were surprised and did not expect to enter Jian'anfang so easily. Then they reacted and nodded quickly.
"You... want to go in and listen to the lectures, come and register, and you can go in after you register!"
After the "pioneers" entered Jian'anfang, the guards shouted at the people who were watching not far away.
"What? Can you enter Jian'anfang today?"
"That's great! I can listen to the monks from Puguang Temple preaching!"
The people were very surprised when they heard this, and then rushed towards the guard one after another.
Not long after, Puguang Temple preached at the Jian'anfang small market. The news that the people in other shops could also enter Jian'anfang today came in Taiyuan City. So, the people who received the news rushed toward this side.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"General Li, why did you put these people in? We blocked the area near Tongfu Inn before, just to prevent other spies in the city from passing messages to those people at Tongfu Inn. Now, the people will be allowed to enter because of a Dharma Assembly. If there are spies among them, wouldn't our previous deployment be in vain?"
On the corner of the city wall in the south of Taiyuan City, Fang Gongteng held a military telescope produced by the Qiqu Pavilion Workshop. Looking at the lively scene outside Jian'an Workshop in the distance, he couldn't help frowning. Then he put down the telescope and clasped his fists at Li Junxian next to him.
Obviously, the order to let the people enter Jian'anfang was not given by Fang Gongteng, but was inspired by Li Junxian.
Li Junxian smiled calmly and said, "Puguang Temple needs to hold a meeting. The government cannot stop the people from listening to the monks' lectures. As for whether spies will be involved in the people, this will be enough for the soldiers to screen them more!"
In fact, Li Junxian has his confidence in doing this. Last night, the governor's mansion not only captured Xuan Ye and Tianying, but also pried out some news from Tianying's mouth, that is, there were no spies from their outside Jian'anfang, which means that all the Turkic spies had gathered at Tongfu Inn!
So now he lets the people enter Jian'anfang and is not worried about the Turkic spies being involved in it! As for whether Turkic spies will be involved in it when the people leave Jian'anfang after the Dharma Assembly is over, he asked the people to register their names and residences before entering the ritual, in order to prevent this from happening.
Fang Gongteng was puzzled when he heard this: "We can't stop the people from going to the Dharma Assembly, but we can ask the monks of Puguang Temple to choose the location of the Dharma Assembly elsewhere! Taiyuan City is now in a special period, and I believe that the host of Puguang Temple is willing to cooperate with the government!"
In fact, Fang Gongteng knew that it was meaningless to argue again, because just as they were talking, dozens of people flocked to Jian'anfang. The reason for this situation is that Li Junxian was bypassing him and directly sent a direct response to the soldiers guarding outside Jian'anfang. Fang Gongteng knew that it was too late to object.
Fang Gongteng even had a vague illusion that Li Junxian was not unaware of the risks of letting the people into Jian'anfang. He seemed to have done this on purpose!
"Don't worry, Fang Chanjun, I know what I know. I will not let these people destroy our plan to rescue Your Highness!"
Seeing Fang Gongteng's face was puzzled and anxious, Li Junxian patted the latter's shoulder and said lightly.
But he did not elaborate on what the so-called rescue plan was. In fact, no one in the corner building, including Tiedan, Han Lizheng and others, knew Li Junxian’s specific plan. From the morning to now, it has been what Li Junxian asked them to do, and they would do whatever they wanted. As for why they did this and what the meaning of doing this, they almost never asked Li Junxian, and Li Junxian had never told them!
They only knew that Li Junxian would definitely take action today, and this action had a great possibility to rescue Li Tai directly!
"Well, I didn't expect that there were so many people coming to listen to the monks in Puguang Temple preaching. No, we have to control the number of people, otherwise all so many people flocked to Jian'anfang, and there might be chaos!"
Li Junxian looked down and looked down the windows of the corner building. He saw that outside Jian'anfang and several streets near Jian'anfang were filled with dense crowds of people. It was estimated that there were at least seven or eight hundred people. And as the news spread, I believe that there would only be more and more people coming here. The enthusiasm of the people for the Puguang Temple Dharma Assembly was obviously beyond Li Junxian's expectations. He frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Come!"
A hundred cavalry came in outside the door immediately. Li Junxian ordered: "I ordered the guards outside Jian'anfang to control the number of people entering the yard. After the number of people exceeds 300, stop letting the people enter the yard! That is to say, it is the host of Puguang Temple. If you come late, you will not be able to get to the Dharma Assembly today!"
The reason why he wanted to use the name of the old host of Puguang Temple was mainly because Li Junxian was worried that the people who came later would be angry and cause trouble because they could not go to the rituals to listen to the Dharma Assembly. With the name of Master Huiyuan, everything would be much easier. After all, the people who came to listen to the Dharma Assembly were all Buddhists, so there was no reason not to listen to Master Huiyuan.
"yes!"
The hundred cavalry clasped his fists and took the order and left.
Fang Gongteng couldn't help looking at Li Junxian curiously. However, before he could ask questions, Li Junxian turned around and looked at Tiedan, Wang Chengwu and others and ordered: "Tiedan, Chengwu, Feiying, you will now bring the rest of the people into these people, and then mix into the Dharma Assembly or lurk around Tongfu Inn, waiting for orders! Before this, you should pay attention to disguise, do not act rashly, and do not let the spies in the inn find your identity! Do you understand?"
Although it seems a bit difficult to get in and squeeze in to the front of the team outside Jian'anfang, Li Junxian believes that these difficulties are not difficult to face martial arts masters such as Tiedan, Dugu Feiying, and Wang Chengwu.
You should know that the group of people he selected in advance who wanted to sneak into the near Tongfu Inn were all masters, and the worst was the peak strength of the Qi Transformation. What's more, they also have the strength of the Grandmaster realm and even the middle level of the Grandmaster!
"I understand~!"
Tiedan, Wang Chengwu, Dugu Feiying, Wang family secret guard masters, and Baiqi masters all held their fists and took the orders, then turned around and left.
They did not object or question Li Junxian's orders, because they believed Li Junxian and believed that Li Junxian could rescue Li Tai!
