People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 284 Tianyin Goddess, the Hometown of Tianzuo

The bridge in the cold moon, the ancient pagoda by the lake.

A thin figure sprinted quickly from a distance, and then quickly flashed into the ancient tower while taking advantage of the night.

At this moment, more than a dozen black figures quietly lurked into the corners of the streets around the ancient pagoda from a distance.

In the darkness, only the eyes are reflecting the light of the cold moon.

Staring covetously at the lonely tower by the lake that has been abandoned for many years.

Under the gate a mile away, a figure flashed in quickly.

The figure then bowed its hands to Li Xuan who was sitting under the firelight, and handed over a note.

Li Xuan glanced at it, frowned and said, "Let me be the king's guarantee. Is Gu Xiancheng crazy because he wants to be the county magistrate? This kind of thing requires me to be the guarantor. How dare he make such a request."

Li Xuan was a little funny for a while, when he was in Yangzhou, Yang Governor Shi Douxuande used him overtly and secretly, when he was in Hangzhou, Hangzhou governor Yuan Jiazuo also used him overtly and covertly, now in Dongyang, a small county magistrate, dare to Hit his mind.

"Go back and tell Gu Xiancheng, I don't care what happened to this person, I just want the result. It doesn't matter whether it's cheating or cheating, as long as he can make Huang Ziming speak up, it doesn't matter. As long as he is done, I will recommend him to be the next Ren Dongyang county magistrate, this is the limit of what this king can do, but it is not bad to vouch for a traitor or a dead man."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused, and said indifferently: "You tell Gu Xiancheng the exact words, he knows what to do."

The black shadow just cupped his hands, then flashed out of the workshop door, and disappeared into the thick night in a blink of an eye.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the ancient pagoda in the distance, calculating the time in her heart.

At this moment, suddenly, Bugu Bugu's voice rang out.

Li Xuan's expression brightened immediately, and he looked into the darkness beside him: "Let's do it!"

Qiu Zhenmu flashed out immediately, cupped her hands and said, "Observe the order!"

The next moment, Qiu Zhenmu waved his hand back, and immediately, more than [-] torches were lit up, and more than [-] Qianniuwei guards in red clothes and gold armor suddenly appeared under the flames.

A group of Qianniuwei immediately got on their horses, and the next moment, there was a huge sound of hooves in the whole neighborhood.

Countless lights were all startled in an instant.

At this time, inside the ancient tower, the two figures looked at each other, looking at each other.

The slightly thinner figure immediately shook his head, and said nervously: "It's not me, I ran out of the county government office and came here immediately after I killed someone. It's because I can pass through some dark channels that ordinary people can't pass through, that's why the gentleman let me go." I tipped off the news."

"I know it's not because of you, you don't have to worry." The slightly burly middle-aged man put his hand on the boy's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "What you need to do now is to rush out of the city immediately and tell them that the city The village is over, let them pass the news to the mountains immediately, and then quickly send the letter to Dongyang, and quickly find a way, otherwise our plan in Dongyang will be over."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man gave the young man a hard push: "Go, if you don't go, it will be too late."

The fire in the distance was getting closer and closer, but the middle-aged man was staring at the young man in front of him.

As soon as the young man gritted his teeth, he immediately turned and left, and soon disappeared into the thick night.

The middle-aged man took a few steps back, raised his head, looked at the brick and stone tower in front of him, and felt a little calm in his heart.

Lowering his head and looking at the huge torch coming from a distance, he slapped hard on the wall.

Immediately, a hidden door in the underground opened wide, and the middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Brothers, come out, you are ready to start a war, don't hide below, just a little water can kill us all!" drown."

The voice of the middle-aged man had just landed, and the next moment, one after another, burly men crawled out from the ground.

The middle-aged man looked at everyone with a gloomy expression: "Everyone, it's time to sacrifice yourself for the Goddess."

"Do good and eliminate evil, Goddess of Taiyin. Joy, sorrow, and sorrow, all return to dust. Pity me, the world, and ascend to the kingdom of God forever. Pity me, the world, and ascend to the kingdom of God forever."

The same voice sounded in the ancient pagoda at the same time, and it was constantly echoing.

The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "First shoot all the crossbow arrows in your hand, and then wait until those people kill them in the ancient tower, according to the training in the mountain, relying on the terrain in the tower and their fight."

"Here!" More than 20 big men bowed and agreed at the same time.

The sound of horseshoes came quickly from a distance, but in the ancient tower, everyone had already occupied every window, aiming their crossbows at the approaching Qianniuwei, shooting arrows at any time.

Qianniuwei's speed was getting faster and faster, and everyone in the ancient pagoda could clearly see Qianniuwei in red and gold armor riding on a horse outside.

The middle-aged man was silently calculating the distance between Qianniuwei and the ancient pagoda, and slowly raised his right hand.

Just when the group of Qianniu guards were only fifty steps away from the ancient pagoda, and when the middle-aged man was ready to give an order at any time, a cold shout came from a distance: "Throw!"

In an instant, more than a dozen torches had been thrown out.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of fifty steps has been crossed, and he was directly thrown under the door and window of the ancient pagoda.

In an instant, on the windows of the ancient pagoda, the strong man holding a crossbow and aiming at Qianniuwei was immediately clearly photographed.

"Shoot...shoot!" Two voices sounded at the same time, and the next moment, countless crossbow arrows appeared in midair, shooting towards both sides from different directions.

There was a "swoosh" piercing sound, and then muffled hums came from under the ancient pagoda.

Strangely, there was no sound at all from where Qianniuwei was originally.

When the middle-aged man saw this scene, his complexion had already turned ashen.

How could he not understand that he was being fished.

Now not only is the enemy in the dark, but the most important thing is that the opponent's crossbow has a greater range than theirs, and the opponent's crossbow is also stronger than theirs.

Under the mutual shooting, the strength and weakness are clear.

Under the strong and weak is life and death.

"Retreat!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the surviving subordinates immediately retreated into the ancient pagoda.

At this time, less than two-thirds of the group of strong men under him remained.

That's it, there are still a lot of injuries inside.

This is just the first round of mutual shooting...

At this time, outside the ancient pagoda, Qiu Zhenmu's voice sounded: "The first team raised their shields and stepped forward, and the second team continued to shoot arrows to suppress."

The next moment, the sound of uniform footsteps sounded outside the ancient pagoda.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen Qianniu Guards holding shields connected their shields together to form a shield wall.

And they hid behind the shield wall, pushing together and striding towards the ancient tower at a very fast speed.

In the rear, more Qianniuwei with longbows were still bending their bows and nodding their arrows.

Arrows shot into the ancient pagoda from different directions, cruelly and coldly harvesting lives.

Compared with crossbows, longbows have a longer range, are more flexible, and have a larger arc.

The big men who were able to avoid the crossbow arrows immediately lost several lives and injuries.

The middle-aged man's eyes were shattered for a moment, but all the crossbow arrows they fired were blocked by Qianniuwei's shield.

"Draw your sword and charge." At this time, the middle-aged man could no longer care about anything else. Seeing the avant-garde approaching, he gritted his teeth and drew his sword.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen "choking" sounds were heard, and more than a dozen horizontal knives were all pulled out in an instant.

The next moment, the middle-aged man was the first to kill, and then, a group of people fought against the sharp arrows and killed directly.

Before they could reach Qianniuwei, half of their men had fallen, and when they reached Qianniuwei, the shields that had gathered together suddenly dispersed.

Like a celestial maiden scattered flowers, three or three formed a group, flashed like a knife entering the wheel, and wiped the throats of most people in the blink of an eye.

Blood spurted out immediately, and in an instant, there was only a middle-aged man left in front of the ancient pagoda, surrounded by a group of Qianniu guards.

Looking at the dead and injured brothers on the ground, the middle-aged man raised his long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Goddess Tianyin, the hometown of Tianzuo!"

In an instant, the surrounding Qianniuwei retreated instantly, and the middle-aged man didn't understand what was going on. In the next moment, countless arrows were shot at him from all directions, turning him into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan rode a horse and slowly came from a distance. Looking at the middle-aged man who had been shot into a hornet's nest, he turned his head to look into the darkness on one side, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the person still staring?"

"Still staring." Holding the longbow in his hand, Zhou Shen came out of the darkness, cupped his hands and said, "That kid has gone out of the city, but it's difficult to get out of the city, he may need some time."

"Don't worry, take your time, he has already led us to kill a wave of Tianyin Sect's elite, and we will find them one by one, and we will kill them all."

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the night sky above his head, and said in a deep voice: "It is the eve of the Tianyin Sect's incident, in order to avoid being noticed by the court, they are scattered and hidden in different places, although this makes it more difficult for us to destroy them , but as long as we operate well, we can wipe them out with almost no loss."

"My lord is wise!" Many guards present bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time, with reverent expressions on their faces.

Li Xuan nodded, and said: "Tonight, this is just the first wave, the second wave will depend on whether our county magistrate can bring some surprises."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan's eyes turned cold: "No matter what, tonight, in the entire Dongyang City, all the Tianyin believers who can be arrested will be arrested. At noon tomorrow, the Caishikou will be killed."

"Here!"
