Chapter 5295: Escape from the Buddhist temple for the rest of your life
Lu Gu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Captain Fan, call the brothers in your team. Remember, they must be brothers, loyal and reliable ones. There can't be many people, no more than twenty. Now give them all I’m going to shave my head, and we have to go somewhere first.”
Two days later, in the backyard of Fahai Temple and in the underground secret room where Huiyuan was, Lu Gu, who had already shaved his head, sat opposite Huiyuan. He even had several ring scars branded on his head. , compared with the newly shaved bald heads and ring scars of Fan Hazi and others who were on guard outside at the moment, the contrast was so obvious that Huiyuan looked very well-fitting in the suit, and he did not look like Lu who had just made a cassock. He could only sigh: "Ah, I didn't expect that you were prepared for it and actually shaved your head in advance. When you and I met in the palace just now, you turned out to be wearing a wig."
Lu Gu smiled slightly: "I have said that I have gone through many ups and downs in my life. I have fled many times since I was a child. I really don't want to die another unexpected death in my twilight years. Just after Xun'er and the others were defeated and evacuated from Jiankang, When the time comes, I will be ready for this. Also, when I agreed to the establishment of Fahai Temple, it was not just to give you face. I left a tunnel here early just so that I could come here when I took refuge."
Huiyuan frowned: "Aren't you afraid that the Jin army will come along the tunnel?"
Lu Gu smiled and waved his hand and said: "There are mechanisms in the tunnel. When I escaped here, I activated the self-destruct device. The tunnel has been completely sealed by stones and cannot be cleaned. Even the dry well I drilled has been completely filled." No matter who he is, he will not be able to clear this several-mile-long closed space underground. Therefore, it is impossible to find this place from the tunnel."
Huiyuan sighed softly: "Since Ah Gu has such an arrangement, why don't you just leave the city directly through the tunnel?"
Lu Gu shook his head and said: "This is a choice based on different enemies. If the enemy comes from the north and takes over the entire territory of Lingnan, then my escape is to leave by sea by boat, or even avoid being exposed to the enemy." During the siege, if the enemy troops suddenly appear from the sea and land, then leaving the city is not a good option. Because I am old and weak, and my legs and feet are inconvenient. Even if I escape from the city, I will not be able to run very far. The most I can do is enter the Yuexiu Mountain area. The barbarian tribes, as well as some Taoist temples and strongholds within a hundred miles radius, settled there."
"But when we go to these places, the Jin army will also follow us. Those barbarian tribes, although they are usually obedient to us, they just succumb to the force of the divine religion. If they go to seek refuge in times of trouble, I'm afraid they will be the first to kill us. "Betrayal, even the disciples in the Taoist temple may not have this kind of intention. I just tested Captain Fan's loyalty and was convinced that he would not betray me, so I allowed him to bring me here with confidence."
Huiyuan curled up his lips: "So, you are planning to stay in Fahai Temple for a long time? Do you think the Jin army will not search this place? If they find you, then won't all the monks in the temple have to search for you?" Implicated?"
Lu Gu said calmly: "I have nowhere to go now. Baoyu, if you are afraid of being implicated, you can hand me over now. This is the safest way. After all, the Jin army's attack from the sea is We were not prepared at all. The thousands of troops and horses I had in Guangzhou collapsed on their own before they had time to organize an effective defense. Ruan Cifu broke out from the north gate with hundreds of people, while the others scattered. They fled everywhere, but if the Jin army hadn't been busy trying to save the fire in the treasury and looted them by the way, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to escape."
Huiyuan sighed: "So, my plan to go west to the sea and go to Linyi Kingdom is completely dead, right?"
Lu Gu smiled slightly: "Baoyu, don't worry too much. The change between good and bad is not necessarily something we can predict. Although Guangzhou City was captured by the Jin army's surprise attack, it is not entirely a bad thing. According to Captain Fan and the others The intelligence I just inquired back showed that the Jin army did not have many troops this time, only more than 5,000 troops, and the fleet that brought them here was mainly the Goguryeo fleet. These damn Haidong ugly slaves actually took refuge with Liu. Yu, no wonder they have such a powerful carrying capacity this time, otherwise how could they complete this floating sea expedition with just those broken ships built by Wu?"
Huiyuan said calmly: "You always underestimate your opponents, which is why you are always defeated by Liu Yu. However, I heard that the Goguryeo fleet has left the port, taking with it the things you put in the Treasury. Pearl and Jewelry left. It seemed that they only had limited cooperation with Liu Yu and would not stay here for a long time. Now General Jianwei Sun Chu and former Guangzhou governor Wu Yinzhi stayed in the city, while General Zhenwu Shen Tianzi led the main force to pursue your men who escaped from the city to the north. Ah Gu, there are less than 2,000 Jin troops in the city. I think you should take advantage of the chaos and leave. Some merchant fleets are still as planned. The interrogation of people arriving and departing from Hong Kong every day is not very strict, so you should escape early and go to Linyi, I can also go with you."
A fierce light flashed in Lu Gu's eyes, and he waved his hand decisively: "No, if I run away like this, then Guangzhou will really be doomed. You are right. There are not many Jin troops in the city now, and the defense is very empty. Although my defense All the troops in the city are scattered in all directions, but as long as they can be gathered together, they can counterattack Guangzhou. After all, I am the mission of the divine sect, and I am the highest officer stationed in Guangzhou. If I lose it, I have to take it back with my own hands."
Huiyuan shook his head and sighed: "Now Sun Chu and Wu Yinzhi are searching everywhere for those of your subordinates who have not escaped and are hiding. Your Tianshi Dao followers in the city have killed hundreds of people, and there are new arrests every day. Those who arrived were beheaded outside the city. There are hundreds of heads hung on the city walls, which is shocking. So you still want to counterattack? Escape early is your best choice."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Baoyu, when we last met, you said it was too cruel for our divine religion to set up a skeleton palace. This time the Jin army broke through the city, do you think they were cruel or not?"
The wrinkles on Huiyuan's face twitched slightly, and he sighed: "It's all evil. I didn't expect that the Jin army was called the King's Master. They were supposed to be benevolent and righteous, but they did this."
Lu Gu said seriously: "So, if Guangzhou is not taken back, more people will die. In order to attack by sea, they have to use the treasures of Guangzhou City to bribe the Goguryeo people to help. Now that the Goguryeo fleet is gone, they In order to gain benefits, he would rob and kill people in the city, just to be accused of being a member of the theocratic religion. In fact, most of the people killed were ordinary businessmen and wealthy households, and they were definitely not members of the theocratic religion." (End of Chapter)
