Yang Yan realized that he had underestimated the power of Manichaeism, according to his original plan, Manichaeism only mixed into Guangzhou at most two or three hundred people, but now it seems that this teaching word cannot be applied, because with the scale of this Xuanfa Temple, there must be no fewer monks inside, I am afraid that there are five or six hundred people, and there is no problem with one or two thousand people.

After the two of them left the temple, Ye Muxue smiled slightly: "Now that Brother Yang knows the location and strength of Manichaeism, what are your plans for the next step?" ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "Actually, I'd rather not know it's better, but now that I know, I find that my original social plan is useless, and the five hundred people I brought with me are not enough." After a pause, he said: "The only way now is to persuade Cheng Zhizhou to believe that Manichaeism has infiltrated Guangzhou, and it is necessary to mobilize the soldiers and horses garrisoned in Guangzhou to encircle and suppress the Xuanfa Temple overnight." But I really want to thank Miss Ye, if no one provides this clue, I'm afraid that we won't be able to keep Guangzhou this time. ”

Ye Muxue said: "A little thing is not enough to worry about, if there is anything I can help with, Brother Yang can just ask." ”

Yang Yan nodded, and suddenly said, "But I still don't understand something, I don't know if I can ask the girl?" ”

Ye Muxue smiled and said: "If there is any problem, Brother Yang will not visit, as long as Mu Xue knows, he will tell him truthfully." ”

Yang Yan said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I'm a little curious, how did Miss Ye know that Xuanfa Temple is the residence of Manichaeism?" And why did you tell me? ”

Ye Muxue said: "Let me answer Brother Yang's second question first, I don't need to say that the relationship between our Tianji Palace and the Great Song Dynasty is also known to Brother Yang, so helping Brother Yang is actually helping the Great Song Dynasty." In addition, although our Tianji Palace has always asked less about the world, there are still a lot of us in the rivers and lakes, so we naturally receive more news, is Brother Yang satisfied with this answer? ”

Yang Yan asked again: "But why didn't Tianji Palace seem to come forward when the Jin Army invaded the south?" ”

Ye Muxue was slightly stunned, took a few steps forward, and said lightly: "This question involves the secrets of Tianji Palace, please forgive Muxue for not being able to answer Brother Yang." ”

Yang Yan was also a little embarrassed when he saw that he had asked about other people's secrets all of a sudden, and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, okay, I'm going to rush to see Cheng Zhizhou immediately, and I'll leave first." ”

******************************

"What Manichaean people have infiltrated the city of Canton? Senator Yang, you can't do it if you're drunk. Cheng Yuanzhou's brows were twisted into twists, if it was someone else, he would have sent someone out a long time ago, but Yang Yan's identity was different, and he only listened patiently, but after listening to what Yang Yan said, he couldn't help but say such a sentence.

After Yang Yan and Ye Muxue broke up, they immediately went back to their residence to find it, and told others everything they saw in Xuanfa Temple, this sudden news made everyone nervous. After discussion, everyone agreed that the only way to go to Cheng Yuanzhou to tell him about the past harm made him believe. Then he ordered to strike first, mobilize the men and horses of the Guangzhou garrison, surround the Xuanfa Temple, and wipe out Manichaeism. Otherwise, with the five hundred men and horses they brought, Gen would have no chance at all.

Therefore, Yang Yan immediately rushed to the state government with Yin Shibiao, Ling Xiang, and Huang Mingxia with a few children of the Huang family to meet Cheng Yuanzhou. At this time, although it was late, fortunately, Cheng Yuanzhou had not yet rested, and was discussing with the general judgment of Benzhou or tomorrow's celebration activities, so he met Cheng Yuanzhou effortlessly.

However, Yang Yan also expected that Cheng Yuanzhou would not believe it, and said: "Lord Cheng, I have investigated clearly, the Manichaeans are now hiding in the Xuanfa Temple, and there are many of them, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to search the temple." ”

The general judge on the side also nodded after listening to Yang Yan's words, and said to Cheng Yuanzhou: "Cheng Dazhou, the lower officials also feel that the withdrawal of the Manichaean army is too strange, and they have to be prepared for emergencies. ”

Cheng Yuanzhou glared at him and said, "Zhao Tongju, you have been in Guangzhou for less than two months, and you still don't know where this Xuanfa Temple is, right?" This Xuanfa Temple is the largest temple in the city of Guangzhou, with incense flourishing and believers like clouds. Master Kongjian, who is proficient in Buddhism, was also awarded the imperial title five years ago, and has no evidence or certificate, how can this official listen to the words of frugality and send someone to search the Xuanfa Temple? ”

Yang Yan saw that Zhao Tong was talking to him, and he was a little grateful, seeing that he was about thirty years old, with a medium build, thin and bright eyes, and three locks of long beard to the appearance of being polite. After Cheng Yuanzhou finished speaking, he said: "Lord Zhizhou, extraordinary times must be treated as extraordinary, the withdrawal of Manichaeism is already very strange, and it has to be guarded against." And the Xuanfa Temple is not only in the city of Guangzhou, but also under the jurisdiction of adults, what does it matter if the Xuanfa Temple does not hide Manichaean people, why should we be afraid of searching the temple? ”

Cheng Yuanzhou snorted and said, "If no one is found, how will it end?" ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "Master Cheng, I am thinking about the safety of Guangzhou, it is true. Even if Lord Cheng is unwilling to send people to search the Xuanfa Temple, he should also arrange troops in the city, and the whole city should be strict in case of accidents. ”

Cheng Yuanzhou didn't believe Yang Yan's words, he was full of confidence in the strength of the three pirate alliances, and he didn't believe in Manichaeism and mixed into the city. Therefore, he said disdainfully: "The whole city is under martial law? Senator Yang, you said lightly, but do you know that that will inevitably cause people to panic, if there is any turmoil, you can walk away, but it is up to the official to clean up this mess? ”

Yang Yan and Yin Shibiao glanced at each other, and could only smile bitterly. It seems that Cheng Yuanzhou is not convinced no matter what.

Zhao Tongju wanted to argue with him a few more words, but Cheng Yuanzhou said: "Okay, you don't have to be here anymore, it's getting late now, and the official also needs to rest, so you should go back and rest early." And Senator Yang, the military situation in Jingjiang Mansion must be very tense, and now that Guangzhou is safe and sound, I think you should go back to Jingjiang Mansion as soon as possible. As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and got up to go into the inner hall.

Seeing that Cheng Yuanzhou had issued an eviction order, Yang Yan couldn't help but feel angry, anyway, he had already said all his good words, and Cheng Yuanzhou still didn't listen, so there was no way. I can't take these five hundred people to stay here to accompany him to die, so he said: "Lord Cheng, if you don't listen to the advice, there is no way, please give us the next palindrome immediately, and we will leave Guangzhou overnight." ”

Cheng Yuanzhou couldn't help them leave earlier, so he returned to his seat and said, "It's okay, the official will put a palindrome for you." As he spoke, he took a pen and paper and began to write a palindrome.

Zhao Tongjuan on the side felt that it was inappropriate, but he was helpless. Yang Yan was angry in his heart, and he didn't look at Cheng Yuanzhou anymore, so he simply turned around and turned his back to the court and faced the door. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw several black shadows flashing on the roof opposite, followed by a few cold lights shooting into the lobby.

Yang Yan's heart moved, knowing that it was not good, when he came in, he handed over the "Wind Forest Volcano" to Ling Xiang, who was waiting outside, and Huang Mingxia took it, and at this time he only wore the treasure "Blue Blood Shines on Danqing". Immediately hurriedly shouted: "Be careful." With one palm of his left hand, he pushed Yin Shibiao away, and with his right hand, he pulled out two "blue blood shines on Danqing" and "dang, dang", and shot down two sharp arrows. But three arrows were shot into the church, one of them striking an errand officer standing in the church, and one of the arrows "snatched" and hit the bookcase of the court.

Cheng Yuanzhou was frightened into a cold sweat, his hand was weak, the pen fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the whole person collapsed on the chair, pulling his voice and saying, "Someone...... There are Assassins ......"

At this time, seven or eight figures fell from the courtyard wall, one with a black scarf and a mask, each holding a weapon. The guards were caught off guard and were slashed several at once. The others saw that the situation was not good, and dispersed in a hurry.

One of the assassins was slender and seemed to be a woman, with a pair of water-splitting moth eyebrows in her hands, and after stabbing down the two errands, she rushed into the lobby in one step, and with a wave of her hand, three cold rays of light shot towards Cheng Yuanzhou.

Yang Yan had already prepared, and with a wave of his hand, "Blue Blood Zhao Danqing" knocked out three grapefruit arrows. Yin Shibiao also got up from the ground and pulled out his saber, while Cheng Yuanzhou was so frightened that he hid under the table. Even that Zhao Tongju was still not afraid of danger, and commanded the officers who stood in the hall to protect Cheng Yuanzhou.

At this time, the other Assassins also burst into the lobby, and there were seven men and women. Yang Yan felt strange, could it be that they were Manichaeans? Why did you choose to assassinate Cheng Yuanzhou today? But almost all the masters in Manichaeism are known to themselves, although these people are all masked, but Yang Yan can basically conclude that he doesn't know any of them, can it be said that there are still hidden masters in Manichaeism?

Before Yang Yan could figure it out, the assassins attacked, and the woman who made the moth eyebrow thorn rushed towards Yang Yan, and with a wave of her hand, the two moth eyebrow thorns went up and down, stabbing Yang Yan's chest and lower abdomen. The others also fought with the officers with their swords.

Yang Yan's figure was slightly on one side, and the "Blue Blood Zhao Danqing" in his hand was slashed out flatly, and this move came first and slashed towards the woman's throat. The woman starling, who didn't expect Yang Yan's swordsmanship to be so skillful, hurriedly took a step back and dodged the sword. Yang Yan's sword momentum was endless, "brush, brush, brush" was three swords in a row, slashing at the woman, although it was only the "blue blood shine on Danqing", the power was far less than that of the "Wind Forest Volcano", but it also killed the woman in a hurry, and retreated again and again.
