Chapter 217 Enemy Daoist
The situation in Liangzhe Road is becoming increasingly turbulent.
The 160-year national fortune of the Song Dynasty is by no means easy.
After experiencing the initial stage of the collapse, the governments of the Liangzhe Road were finally awake, and quickly stabilized, and began to fight back.
The third general in the southeast, Guo Shizhong, died in battle, which sounds frightening at first glance.
But it must be admitted that Guo Shizhong's death has extraordinary significance to the entire battle situation.
It was precisely because of Guo Shizhong that Fang La's main force was unable to quickly gather in Hangzhou after winning a complete victory in Muzhou.
It is precisely because Fang La was unable to get out of the family, which slowed down the pace of military gathering in Hangzhou.
In addition to the strong support of Lu Xinger in Huzhou, all the troops seemed to be slowly flying. Whether it was Lu Shinang, Zheng Demon King in Quzhou, or Qiu Rixin from Yuezhou, after winning their respective victories, they did not immediately move closer to Hangzhou, which also made Fang Qifo, although he owned Hangzhou City, could not quickly expand the results and stabilize the situation in Hangzhou.
Shortly after Guo Shizhong died in battle, the first day that Qiu Ri's new soldiers were about to arrive in Hangzhou.
The war in Xiuzhou is still in a stalemate.
Faced with Gao Jie's tenacious resistance, Fang Qifo attacked for nearly ten days, losing thousands of troops and was unable to break through Jiaxing City for a long time.
Similarly, Gao Jie and his side began to show fatigue.
In the past ten days of high-intensity fighting, the official army also suffered heavy casualties, with nearly a thousand people.
If Jiaxing had not been fully prepared and had sufficient military equipment and food in the city, such heavy casualties would have shaken the morale of the military.
However, Gao Jie is almost at his limit...
But at this moment, an amazing news came.
Wang Geng, the commander of the Wuzhou infantry, led his troops to send troops to suppress the rebels of the Ming Cult in Wuzhou, and rushed from north to south to Hangzhou.
On July 19th, Qiu Rixin personally led three thousand strong men in Yuezhou to appear outside Hangzhou City.
He followed Taoism after a few years. Later, he joined the Ming Cult and always wore Taoism costumes and showed himself to others as a Taoist identity. Even if the Ming Cult was in charge, he had never changed this habit. Therefore, although he led thousands of troops, he was still a Taoist priest from his appearance.
The sun is shining and bright.
He stood outside Yongkin Gate and looked at the autumn scenery of West Lake.
Behind him, the three thousand Yuezhou strong men were silent, which was frightening.
"Hangzhou Guangming envoy Shen Gang, pay homage to Venerable Qiu."
Shen Gang led officials from all over the country to welcome Qiu Rixin outside Yongkin Gate. When he saw Qiu Rixin, he couldn't help but be frightened.
Qiu Rixin is not tall and not quite strong.
He looks ordinary and gives people a gloomy feeling all over his body. Even if he is still a few steps away, he can feel the cold air.
Qiu Rixin turned around, looked at Shen Gang, and nodded.
“Camp, can it be arranged properly?”
"According to the order of Venerable Fang, the Venerable's army can rest at the school ground at the foot of Wushan.
It was originally the camp where Venerable Fang was personally accompanied by Venerable Fang. Venerable Fang said that Venerable Qiu worked hard and did not neglect, so he ordered me to collect the schoolyard and wait for the Venerable to arrive."
"Lao Fang, you're welcome!"
A smile appeared on Qiu Rixin's face, nodded and turned around and waved his hand.
"Zhao Yi, you will follow them into the city later.
I have passed on my order that I will not leave the military camp without authorization after entering the city, nor will I disturb the people at will. If anyone violates his order, he will be killed without any hesitation."
"Abide by the order!"
Qiu Rixin's voice was not loud, and it sounded very peaceful, but it gave people a gloomy feeling.
Zhao Yi was also the leader of the Ming Cult, and he was also Qiu Rixin's close friend. He seemed to have become accustomed to it and respectfully took the order to retreat. However, this scene fell into the eyes of Shen Gang and others, but it felt that he respected Qiu Rixin even more.
“When I was in Huzhou, I received a letter from Lao Fang.
He told me that Wei Gao, who sacrificed the tree of life and death, was a spy from the government, and asked you to secretly monitor him. Did you find out?"
Qiu Rixin did not enter the city immediately, but asked Chen Gang to send someone to lead Li Shi into the city first.
He pulled Chen Gang aside, asked while checking at the crowd behind Chen Gang, his eyes as sharp as eagles.
Chen Gang was stunned and hurriedly replied: "Report to the Lord, after receiving the order from Lord Fang, I will send someone to follow Brother Jiu.
For the past ten days, he has not made any special moves. He either wanders around the city or stays at home without leaving the house. Master Qiu, I think Jiu Ge doesn't look like a government official. He doesn't look suspicious either."
"There is no suspicion, the biggest suspicion!"
Qiu Rixin's face darkened and he said, "He, are he here today?"
"Oh, he got cold yesterday and kept recuperating at home, so he didn't come today."
"Didn't come?"
Qiu Rixin frowned and asked in a deep voice: "He has been infected with the cold, can you verify it?"
"I took the Ning Langzhong from the city to visit, and it was true."
"Well, no matter whether he is really infected or not, since Lao Fang has given you an order, you should catch him."
"ah?"
"It's better to kill a thousand people by mistake, and never let one go.
Now that my great cause of Ming Cult is about to be accomplished, the more you should be careful. Your Master Fang is definitely not the kind of suspicious person. Since he doubts Wei Gao, he believes that he must have discovered something. You should be more decisive and capture him and take it seriously. If that guy is indeed a meticulous person, will you not be implicated then?"
When Chen Gang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He had heard of Qiu Rixin as a ruthless person and very decisive in his work.
When I saw it today, it was indeed like this...
"Then I'll send someone here now."
"Well... let's go there together. I also want to see if this Brother Wei is a spy."
After Qiu Rixin finished speaking, he ordered Chen Gang to let those who welcome him go back, and then called a hundred strong men to walk into the city.
At this time, two teams of troops gathered on both sides of Yong Kinmen.
The Yuezhou Lis are entering one after another, making the city gate seem a little crowded.
Gao Yu was also hiding among the crowd, dressed as a Ming priest soldiers, quietly watching the Yuezhou strong men entering the city.
His eyes suddenly froze and he stared at someone.
The enemy!
Gao Yu recognized at a glance that Qiu Rixin was the Qiu Taoist who had been thinking about day and night, and murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart.
He knew Qiu Dao Ren and knew that Qiu Dao Ren was an extremely cautious, suspicious and cruel person. So after realizing that Chen Gang sent someone to follow him, he realized that he didn't have much time left. If he could not get rid of Qiu Dao Ren, when he met Qiu Dao Ren, he would probably never have the chance to take revenge again. That guy was a hundred times more cruel than Fang Qifo.
So, he pretended to be sick, and he did not appear in Sukan Gang today.
But at the same time, he disguised himself as a Ming priest soldier, mixed in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity.
The space in the city gate is very small and very crowded.
Gao Yu suddenly took a step back and pressed against the wall, and a package suddenly appeared in his hand.
He lit the leads exposed outside the package with a fire sniff, lit his arms and threw them into the crowd, and turned around and ran away.
The Ming priest soldiers on both sides were surprised to see a package suddenly appear in his hands.
But before they could react, Gao Yu had completed a series of actions, ran out of the city gate, and ran towards the city.
Qiu Rixin and Shen Gang were walking towards the city surrounded by Yuezhou Lishi.
Gao Yu's movements were very eye-catching, and he could see them very clearly.
Especially when Gao Yu threw the package out, Qiu Rixin was shocked and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin..."
As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Gang with all his skills.
Chen Gang's body shape is two times larger than Qiu Rixin.
But he was like a puppet with no resistance, and was pulled in front of Qiu Rixin.
Just as Gao Yu ran out of the city gate, a loud noise like the sky and the earth cracked, came from behind him. A rumbling sound... The smoke filled the gunpowder and the fire was everywhere. A huge ball of fire appeared in the city gate, and huge air waves surged from behind Gao Yu.
Gao Yu's body was pushed by the air waves and flew out more than ten steps away, falling to the ground with a panther.
He ignored the pain on his body, turned his head and bared his teeth, and showed an excited smile on his face, "Master, Seven Poison Swords... Can't you kill me?"
A shrill scream came from the city gate.
The sky-burning thunder that Gao Yu used this time was so powerful that it was the largest firearm he knew.
Although he had not tried it, he believed that even if he threw it into the house, he could blow the house into ruins. With such a narrow space in the city gate, there was no place where Qiu Rixin could hide. This time, I was afraid that you would not be able to kill you, a bastard?
Thinking of this, Gao Yu had already gotten up from the ground.
Chapter completed!
