Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 115 Taniguchi Rescues the Beauty

After Ye Chen pondered for a while, he said: "Brother Li has considered everything thoroughly, and I can still trust Mr. Xu's ability. Tomorrow, I will make arrangements according to what Brother Li said. I won't wear the human leather mask. I'm really not used to wearing that thing. So I'd better take the carriage!"

When Li Junhao heard that Ye Chen accepted his proposal, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and then said: "Then how do you arrange the itinerary for tomorrow?"

Ye Chen said: "I've already thought about this. This Shimen Town is less than ten miles away from Puzhaowang Temple, and the distance is the closest. Since I'm here, I have to go and see it no matter what. And you can stay overnight in Puzhaowang Temple. I heard it a few days ago." Jia Xian said that Su Zhai is also very good, let's try it."

Puzhaowang Temple is located in a valley of Dakao Mountain in the southwest of Sizhou City. Since the temple was built, the incense has been very prosperous.It was listed as one of the national temples in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.Even Tang Zhongzong personally inscribed "Puguangwang Temple" (to avoid Empress Wu Zetian's taboo, change "Zhao" to "Guang") plaque for Puzhaowang Temple.Later, in the Later Zhou Dynasty, it was changed back to its original name Puzhaowang Temple.Coupled with the strange scenery where it is located, the temple architecture is magnificent and exquisite.There are also towering clouds, towers of relics, Qibao Qishan, Hall of Pure Land, Sanguang Duojing, etc., and tourists continue to visit.

Just after noon, most of the tourists were heading towards Puzhaowang Temple. Ye Chen and his party changed from 21 cavalrymen to escorting two carriages with [-] cavalrymen. The decoration of the Escort Warriors makes people look like a wealthy family hiring Escort Warriors to go out for fun.It is not very eye-catching among the tourists in twos and threes.

Passing along the way, Ye Chen pricked up his ears, paying attention to the surrounding wind and grass, while admiring the scenery along the road, before entering the Puguang Valley where Puzhaowang Temple is located, Ye Chen felt that the trip was worthwhile.The beauty of the mountains and rivers along the way alone feasted Ye Chen's eyes.

Before the time arrived, a group of people had already arrived at the entrance of Puguang Valley, where Puzhaowang Temple is located. Ye Chen asked people to stop at the entrance of the valley, and was about to take a look at the scenery of Puguang Valley. Unexpectedly, a large group of people rode horses, took carriages, or walked, in twos and threes. Welling out of the valley.

Li Zhong, the head of the guards who had been in the capital, had rich experience. Before Ye Chen could say anything, he yelled at the crowd to step aside, and guarded the carriage Ye Chen was sitting in without any trace.

Ye Chen was wondering, when he suddenly saw an acquaintance coming out of the crowd, walking towards this side, it was one of the three gang members of the Southern Gang standing in front, named Shiwa.

Shiwa came to the side of Ye Chen's carriage and said in a low voice, "My lord, a hall in Puzhaowang Temple was flooded. The monks in the temple announced that they would not accept ordinary pilgrims today, so these people came out. However, Mr. According to the order of the Lord, I donated five hundred incense sticks to the monks in the temple, and the monks in the temple have already arranged a place for us to stay and provided three vegetarian meals a day."

As soon as Shiwa finished speaking, Ye Chen nodded through the car window, watching the crowd pass by, and was about to let Shiwa lead the way.Suddenly, two screams came from the valley.Looking up, two young girls, dressed as a master and a servant, rushed out of the valley screaming in panic and despair. When they saw Ye Chen and his party, they were ecstatic and ran desperately.

But at this moment, four other big men with knives in the valley rushed out following the two women. When they saw Ye Chen and his party, they were shocked at first. The girl rushed forward, and at the same time raised the long knife in her hand, and slashed at the necks of the two girls.And the two girls didn't know how to dodge at all, nor did they have the ability to dodge, they just ran forward desperately.

Seeing that the two young girls were going to be decapitated, everyone in Ye Chen's group changed color, but the guards were still about thirty steps away from the two girls, and there was no time to stop them.

In the blink of an eye, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and two arrows shot out from the window of Ye Chen's carriage, brushing Shiwa's forehead and flying out.

Clang!

The sound of two metal and stone collisions sounded almost at the same time, and the long knives in the hands of the two big men who swung their knives flew out when they were three feet away from the necks of the two girls.And a huge force was transmitted to the arms of the two people through the handle of the knife at that moment, causing the two people to stagger and almost fell to the ground.The two were shocked, stabilized their bodies, and stopped instinctively. Seeing this, the other two also stopped in fear.

At this time, seeing Ye Chen make a move, four guards stepped forward to protect the two girls and greeted them. They were about to bring them to Ye Chen, but they were stopped by Li Junhao, and they took them aside vigilantly for questioning.The four guards came to their senses, surrounded the two girls half-protectively and half vigilantly with shame on their faces, and cooperated with Li Junhao in questioning.

Seeing this, the faces of the four big men on the opposite side all changed greatly, and the leader shouted loudly: "Friend! These two women stole my master's things, and my friend sent them back to us. I will be very grateful. "

Seeing that Ye Chen and the others were indifferent, and Li Junhao lowered his head and was about to ask questions, the big man in the lead panicked and said: "As long as my friend returns the person to me, I will give my friend a thousand guan as a reward immediately. Report it afterwards After I wait for the master, I will definitely thank you again."

At the same time, Li Junhao asked the two girls who were still pale, with guilt and tears on their faces: "Why did they kill you?"

Among the two girls, the girl dressed as a lady still had a heartbroken expression at this time, her face was pale, her body was crumbling, and she was supported by the maid. She was only focused on crying at this time, and didn't hear what Li Junhao said at all.

On the contrary, the girl dressed as a maid cried and said timidly: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Li Junhao couldn't help being startled, frowned, looked up at the four anxious knights opposite, and asked, "Tell me about the whole process of them chasing and killing you all of a sudden."

The maid sobbed and said, "My lady and I were offering incense in Puzhaowang Temple with the master and wife, when suddenly the windows and wooden door caught fire behind us, and the fire was very big. At this time, a monk suddenly appeared and took us through the back door After running out, we followed the monk around and came to a small courtyard. The monk said that the fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a cellar where we could hide, and then somehow opened the entrance of the cellar and took us Everyone went inside. As a result, after entering, the monk disappeared somehow. After a while, we felt that there was no movement outside, thinking that the fire had diminished, and the master led us out of the cellar. As a result As soon as we exited, we met these villains, who held knives and said they wanted to kill us. We ran away in fright, and then they chased and killed them. Seeing that the master and wife could not escape, they tried their best to stop them, shouting for us to run, oh Woooooo... Miss didn't want to run away alone, so I pulled her out with all my strength. The master and wife must have been killed by them."

Li Junhao sneered when he heard the words, his eyes flickered coldly, looked at the two girls, and said: "It's a thousand steps away from Puzhaowang Temple to this Taniguchi, how can you two weak girls run past them."

The servant girl cried and said, "We couldn't run away from them, but they were drunk, and Mrs. Madam bought us some time, so they didn't catch up with us until just now."

Hearing this, Li Junhao couldn't help being startled, and raised his head to look carefully at the four big men who were still talking and negotiating, only to find that the four people's bodies were shaking slightly. Some involuntarily.Looking at the expressions of the two women, especially the heartbroken expression of the young lady, I was completely relieved.

Ye Chen's hearing ability is far superior to that of ordinary people. The conversation between Li Junhao and the two women fell into his ears without saying a word. He already guessed that the two women accidentally bumped into each other's secrets, causing each other to kill and silence them.There is no need to doubt the identities of the two girls, but there is obviously something wrong with the monk who brought them to the cellar, and obviously brought them into the cellar on purpose.

Li Junhao has rich experience in Jianghu, and he can easily think of what Ye Chen can think of. At this time, he asked again: "What did you see in that cellar?"

The maid sobbed and thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of bags containing things. After the master wiped it, he said it was grain, and then quickly led us out of the cellar."

After Li Junhao heard this, his expression was strange, and he turned to look at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was startled, and gave a wry smile, thinking that he didn't want to pay attention to these things, but why can't he hide?
The two of them simply ignored the four big men with swords who were still chattering, luring and intimidating for a while.

"No! The process of this matter is strange. Even if these two girls have no problems, they are still being used. Could it be that... this matter is aimed at me? Did someone do it for me? Or is it purely a coincidence ?” Ye Chen’s thoughts turned in his mind, and he glanced at the four big men whose faces became more and more anxious, turned pale, and sweated profusely.Then he took another deep look at the two girls.

"Hey! It's fine if it's just hoarding food, but these thieves kill innocent people indiscriminately in order not to be exposed. Let him out in a month. I have already seen such behavior, how can I pretend not to care about it." Ye Chen muttered to himself, seeing the heartbroken look of the girl dressed as a young lady who lost her parents, feeling deeply in her heart .

"Li Zhong! Take eight people and bring those four thieves back to me. They will live." Ye Chen said to the head guard on the left side of the carriage.
