Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 29 Anyone who breaks into the temple without permission should be killed
Li Junxian endured the anger in his heart, and stretched out his hand to close Wang Hu's dying eyes.

"Wang Hu, you can go in peace, I will definitely avenge you."

After saying that, he looked at Li Chunfeng: "Brother Chunfeng, since these monks dare to kill people so unscrupulously, I'm afraid they have a big agenda."

"I immediately took my men there and told them that I was catching a few fugitives and held them back to prevent them from moving the things in the tower."

"The person in charge of guarding the capital today is Guo Xiaoke and Guo Jungong. You can go to him and ask for his support."

Li Chunfeng also knew that things would change if things were too late, so he warned:
"Be careful yourself. We'll see you at Ximing Temple later." After saying that, he strode away.

Li Junxian stood up straight, and ordered: "Li Feng, go and tell the brothers to carry their guns and put on their armor."

"After burning incense, gather at the door and go to Ximing Temple."

Li Feng, who was standing behind him, immediately took the order and went down to take command.

After a while, Li Junxian led two hundred servants to Ximing Temple in a mighty manner.

In fact, these servants are all personal bodyguards who follow him on the battlefield to kill enemies. They have extremely strong fighting power. They are all good men who can fight one against ten.

On the way to Ximing Temple, from time to time, there were inquiries from the vigilant Nanya army, but they were all resolved by Li Junxian.

Half an hour later, they arrived in front of Ximing Temple.

At this moment, two angry wind lanterns were hung in front of the door of Ximing Temple. The door of the temple was closed tightly, and the temple was extremely quiet.

However, in Li Junxian's view, the current Ximing Temple is like an evil ghost trying to eat people in the dark.

Someone had already knocked on the door. A moment later, when Li Junxian was about to climb over the wall and enter, he heard a confused voice coming from the temple: "Who is it?"

Li Junxian roared angrily: "The Nanya Army has captured the fugitive, open the door quickly!"

When the monks in the temple heard this, they did not dare to neglect for a moment and hurriedly opened the door of the temple.

Before, the lights outside the temple were brightly lit, and a group of soldiers stood in front of the door menacingly, holding torches and sharp blades.

Immediately, the monk panicked and said stammeringly: "Did the military master make a mistake? There are no fugitives in our temple."

Li Feng, who was behind Li Junxian, stepped forward and pushed the monk away: "A fugitive is hiding in your temple. We are going to search now."

The monk was pushed and staggered, looking at the soldiers pouring in one after another.

"Military masters, please wait for a while, let me report to the abbot."

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he didn't care about anything and hurriedly ran away to find the abbot.

Li Junxian's goal was very clear, and he immediately led everyone to the Scripture Tower.

But from a distance, you can see that the courtyard in front of the tower is brightly lit, and there are dozens of monks holding sticks guarding the outside of the courtyard.

There was another person standing in front of him, it was Master Shentai.

When Master Shentai saw Li Junxian coming here, he chanted a Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, Donor Li came here late at night with soldiers. Does he want to plunder this temple?"

It's a big hat as soon as you open your mouth.

Li Junxian looked at the pretentious mage in front of him, and his teeth itched with hatred.

But he said quietly:

"I have seen Master Shentai. The Nanya Army is arresting fugitives. Please ask the Master to get out of the way so as not to hurt you."

After he finished speaking, he quietly winked at Li Feng.

Li Feng understood instantly, retreated behind the crowd without leaving a trace, and left quietly.

Master Shentai still refused to give in, looked at Li Junxian and the others and said:

"Nanya Army? The clothes of the benefactors don't look like the clothes of the Nanya Army."

"Furthermore, the Sutra Pagoda is where my temple collects sutras. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Li Junxian was too lazy to talk to him and insisted on entering. For a while, the two parties fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, another Buddha's name came: "Amitabha, the poor monk Shenping, I have met the donor Li."

"Donor Li came here late at night, why?"

Everyone turned around and saw a strange-looking old monk wearing cassocks walking out of the darkness. He was none other than the abbot of the temple, Shenping.

Li Junxian also knew that these monks were stalling for time, which was exactly what he wanted, so they started arguing again.

When Master Shenping saw that Li Junxian was not about to rush in, he suddenly asked: "Donor Li led troops to break into our temple late at night. Do you have an inspection order from the Jinwu Guards?"

"If there is no supervision order, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, anyone who breaks into the temple without permission should be executed."

Hearing this, Li Junxian couldn't help but froze on the spot.

He is not an ignorant old man, but a general who is capable of both civil and military affairs.

He naturally knows this law that Master Shenping mentioned.

When Shenping saw that he remained silent, he spoke again: "Since Donor Li does not have the supervision order from Jin Wuwei, don't blame the poor monk."

"Come here, close the temple gate and leave them all behind, waiting for the officials to come."

As soon as this statement came out, Li Junxian and everyone were shocked.

However, at this time, a voice sounded from the darkness: "How can a monk speak nonsense? The supervision order is here."

After the words were settled, a person slowly walked out under the attention of everyone. The person who came was none other than Li Chunfeng.

Beside him, there was a person with a sallow face, wearing armor, and a long knife on his waist. It was Guo Xiaoke, the commander-in-chief of the Nanya Army.

Behind him were five hundred Nanya troops.

The swords were unsheathed, the bows were strung, and they all strode forward.

Li Chunfeng strode to the divine plane and showed a golden token with three characters on it: Supervision Order.

After Shenping saw it, Li Chunfeng looked at him and said, "Master Shenping, do you have anything else to say?"

Shenpei said nothing, but Shentai beside him interrupted angrily:

"The dirty trick you played was to first let Li Junxian come to hold us back, and then let Li Chunfeng invite the Nanya Army. It was really a good plan."

Li Chunfeng said calmly: "Master Shentai is really clever, but do you have any evidence?"

Shentai roared angrily: "Evidence? You ignore the law and I won't let you in. What can you do to me?"

It's okay if Shen Tai didn't say that, after that.

Guo Xiaoke, who had been standing next to Li Chunfeng, snorted coldly and raised his right hand with a swipe.

The next second, I heard a word from the Nanya army formation: "Get ready!"

The archers in the first row raised their crossbows.

The sharp arrows flashed with cold light and were aimed at the monks.

The bloody battle is at stake.

At this time, a sigh came: "Hey!"

"Shengtai, get out of the way. If they want to search, just let them search."

The person who spoke was none other than Abbot Shenping.

After hearing this, the monks stepped aside one after another.

Guo Xiaoke then swarmed in with his soldiers and quickly occupied every key point.

Immediately afterwards, he began to order everyone to search the scripture tower.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Feng, who had just left, returned to Li Junxian's side and reported in a low voice.

It turned out that he followed Li Junxian's instructions and climbed over the wall from a hidden corner to investigate. However, he found nothing. Not to mention the doll, he didn't even see the corpse of his companion.

After listening to these reports, Li Junxian clenched his fists slightly and began to search the tower himself.

Another quarter of an hour later, the three of them gathered together.

Li Chunfeng said that he had carefully inspected the Sutra Pagoda just now and found no trace of death except for some faint Buddhist light.

But Li Junxian and Guo Xiaoke made a discovery.

Li Junxian discovered that the scriptures on the first to ninth floors of the tower were not dusty at all. They looked very new and had no signs of being turned.

This is clearly contradictory to Shentai's previous statement that the scripture tower had been abandoned for a long time, so Li Junxian believed that these scriptures had just been moved here.

At this time, Guo Xiaoke also revealed his findings. The ground on the first floor of the tower had obviously just been wiped and was coated with some kind of medicine. There were also traces of fighting on both sides of the tower.

Although there is nothing hopeful, these signs are enough to show that there is definitely something weird here.
