Chapter 1045: Thirteen stick monks rescue the King of Tang (Part 2)
Wang Mang wanted to rescue Li Shimin so as to get an opportunity to cooperate with Liang Jun and gain support to compete with Qin Hao.
Wang Mang also knew that rescuing Li Shimin was not the best choice. After all, Yang Jian was the person who could unify the Liang army the most easily. However, Yang Jian was in a state of triumph at this time and had been perfunctory in responding to Wang Mang's overtures and requests for help.
Perhaps in Yang Jian's view, Wang Mang will be defeated by Qin Hao sooner or later, and a person who is bound to lose is naturally not worth investing in. After all, no matter how much resources are consumed, it will be in vain.
Wang Mang also guessed what Yang Jian was thinking, so he could only change his target and try to rescue Li Shimin. Although this road is more difficult, once he succeeds, the rewards will undoubtedly be huge. After all, what's the icing on the cake?
A timely help.
Although Wang Mang had several goals in mind regarding the place where Li Shimin was imprisoned, no one under his command had the ability to rescue Li Shimin, so he could only try to contact the Taoists so that they could rescue Li Shimin with their help.
Although Wang Mang did not send his own people to rescue him, he provided the most important information after all. If the Taoists used his information to rescue Li Shimin, then he would naturally be a great contributor, and this would be enough to gain Li Shimin's gratitude.
Even if Li Shimin could not be rescued, Wang Mang himself would not have suffered much loss. After all, he only provided a piece of information that was dispensable to him.
Wang Mang's calculations can be said to be extremely shrewd. After that, he spent a lot of effort to finally contact the Taoist family. However, after sending out the news about where Li Shimin might be imprisoned, there was no movement from the Taoist family for a long time. This made Wang Mang
They all wonder if Taoism has given up on Li Shimin.
What Wang Mang didn't know was that the conflict between Taoism and Baijia was intensifying, and it was impossible to allocate manpower to rescue Li Shimin, but Taoism was not indifferent.
The fact that Taoism cannot recruit experts does not mean that it cannot invite foreign aid, and the Taiqing Taoists approached the leader of Buddhism, Sakyamuni.
Sakyamuni was once the eldest disciple of Shangqing Taoist, Taoist Duobao, the senior brother of Shangqing sect of Taoism. After the separation of Sanqing sect, he left Taoism and joined Buddhism, and eventually became the leader of Buddhism.
Sakyamuni didn't know what he was planning, but he actually agreed to help Taiqing Taoist rescue Li Shimin, and sent his most satisfied disciple to rescue him, and he was none other than Chen Xuanzang, the golden cicada who had the initial cultivation level of a great master.
Luoyang occupied by Qin Hao was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Even if Chen Xuanzang was a great master, it was impossible for him to rescue Li Shimin alone, so he chose twelve helpers from Buddhist disciples.
These twelve people are also summoned characters, and they are all famous monks in their respective worlds. Among them, there are five super-first-class early masters, namely the four great monks in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword": Kong Jian, Kong Wen, and Kong Zhi.
, Emptiness, and Master Cheng Guan from "The Deer and the Cauldron";
There are three masters who are super first-rate in the middle stage. They are also from "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and they jointly use the three crossings of King Kong to subdue the demon circle: crossing tribulation, crossing disaster, and crossing disaster. There are two masters who are super first-rate late stage and even the peak, and one is "Swordsman".
"Master Fang Zheng who is proficient in "Yi Jin Jing", and Master Kurong who masters Shaoshang Sword, one of the six divine swords in "Dragon Babu".
As for the master masters, there are two of them. One is Master Yideng, one of the four masters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the other is Monk Jueyuan who accidentally learned the Nine Yang Magic in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
One grand master, two masters, and ten super-first-class masters, this is the lineup of the Buddhists to rescue Li Shimin.
Thirteen Buddhist masters, headed by Chen Xuanzang, simply disguised themselves and sneaked into Luoyang, but they did not launch a rescue immediately.
There were three detention locations provided by Wang Mang, and he was not sure where Li Shimin was being held. However, Chen Xuanzang only had one chance to rescue him, so he had to determine the specific detention location of Li Shimin first.
After nearly a month of visiting locations, Chen Xuanzang finally determined where Li Shimin was detained after analyzing several small details.
Wang Mang is worthy of being the originator of time travel, and his premonitions are very accurate. The three detention locations he gave, namely Ghost Street, White Horse Temple and Purple Lanxuan, actually contained Li Shimin.
Purple Lanxuan, on the surface, is one of the most luxurious restaurants in Luoyang, but in fact it is one of the secret strongholds of Jinyiwei, and Li Shimin is imprisoned in an underground dungeon.
Chen Xuanzang stared at the tall building in front of him, his handsome face full of determination, and whispered to himself: "Brother Shimin, Xuanzang is here to save you."
The thirteen stick monks each looked at each other, and then, with Xuanzang as the leader, each holding a wooden stick, they walked slowly towards the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
The two women who were greeting the guests at the door saw thirteen monks coming with wooden sticks, and they knew that the visitors might be evil. One of them hurriedly went to report, and the other stepped forward to delay the time.
"The masters are so elegant. They actually come to places like ours. It just so happens that today the sisters will perform Zhao Wu. Oh, by the way, I'm afraid the masters don't know what Zhao Wu is? I'll tell you...
"
Before the woman finished speaking, Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Female donor, I'm offended."
"Master, you..."
The woman looked terrified, and then she was knocked unconscious by Xuanzang's knife.
Xuanzang walked to the door of Zilanxuan and used the lion's roar skill, and shouted inside: "Zha..."
boom……
Xuanzang's mouth emitted an incomparably loud sound wave, which made all the diners cover their ears in pain, and even the dishes on the table were shattered.
Hearing Xuanzang's commotion, everyone thought it was a vendetta, so they all swarmed outside Zilanxuan wherever they dared to stay. Xuanzang took advantage of the chaos and led the monks directly to the entrance of the dungeon.
.
The defense force of Zilanxuan Dungeon was not tight, but it was still not enough when facing the Thirteen Sticks Monk, and the Thirteen Sticks Monk penetrated the bottom of the prison very easily.
Soon, Xuanzang and others arrived at Li Shimin's cell, but there was another person in the cell besides Li Shimin, and this person was not even wearing shackles, so he was obviously not a prisoner.
Xuanzang was afraid that this man would use Li Shimin as a threat, so he did not open the cell door immediately, but asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
Dugu Qiubei glanced at Xuanzang, then turned to Li Shimin and said, "Li Shimin, you are really lucky."
"What do you mean by Mr. Dugu's words?" Li Shimin asked with a bitter smile.
"The order my lord gave me is that as long as someone comes to rob the prison for thousands of years, you can be killed immediately."
Xuanzang and others were shocked when they heard this, and Li Shimin's face became even more bitter. He sighed and asked, "Can this be called good luck?"
"But my lord revoked this order a few days ago..."
