Chapter 18: Counterinsurgency (1)
"How's the situation going on over there in the Temple of the Holy Maiden?" Wen Bufan looked at Li Dakui and asked.
"There's no movement over there, and our people are still watching." Li Dakui said.
"Several places in this city have moved again, but the Holy Maiden Hall has not moved, let's go and have a look!" Wen Bufan looked at the several places in Donglai City where the shouting and killing sound came and said to Isabel beside him.
looked at Li Dakui again and said, "Be sure to capture all these thieves tonight!" If you resist, you will be killed! ”
"Yes!" Li Dakui also led his troops.
"Let's go!" Wen Bufan and Isabel walked in the direction of the Holy Virgin's Temple.
At this time, in the temple of the Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden Xiyue did not sleep peacefully, today the former Xichi State Anyang Marquis Wei Xichen came to worship, has not left, in the main hall of the Holy Maiden has been four or five hours. According to custom, those who come to worship cannot be driven away if they do not leave. The front nave of this temple of the Holy Virgins is closed day and night.
Wei Xichen was accompanied by two of his personal guards and a maid. This Wei Xichen worshiped the saint, and when the Xichi Kingdom was able to peacefully return to the Donglai Kingdom, Wei Xichen also made a lot of efforts. In the past, there were often a whole day of worship at the Basilica of the Holy Virgin. It's just that this time the time is a little special, so the Holy Maiden Xiyue is also a little guarded.
After Wen Bufan came to the Holy Maiden Hall, he saw that the front hall was brightly lit, and there were figures flickering inside. I went around the front hall and came to the back, and sure enough, I saw that the room of the Holy Maiden Xiyue was still lit with lights. So he pushed the door in, smiled and said, "You are keeping the door for me?" ”
"Yes! Then why don't you come alone? Saint Xiyue said with a smile.
"Then I'll go back first." Isabel said with a smile and was about to turn away.
"Isha, you're joking with me, if you go back, someone won't hate me!" The Holy Maiden Xiyue smiled and got up and grabbed Isabel.
"What's going on up ahead?" Wen Bufan asked.
"It's Anyang Hou Wei Xichen. He would worship at the Holy Virgin's Temple for a whole day every month, and now it is convenient to live in Donglai City. The Holy Maiden Xiyue said.
"Nothing is going to happen, is it?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Two guards, one maid, and four of them." Saintess Xiyue smiled and said, "I have hundreds of guards here!" And he's still in the main hall outside. What do you say could be? ”
"Do the princes and nobles of the Xichi Kingdom worship the saint so much?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Well, on this continent, the Xichi Kingdom worships the saint the most! And this Marquis Wei is very pious in the country of Xichi! The Holy Maiden Xiyue said, and then asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"It's time to move, it's all moving. Not a single one was left behind, and there were actually a hundred and ten people in the palace, and they went directly to my and Isa's bedroom, fortunately we were prepared, otherwise I really don't know what it would be like? Wen Bufan said.
"Hehe, I told you, let you screen the people in the palace, you just don't listen, those people are from Haiyuan Kingdom, and they are not familiar with you!" The Holy Maiden Xiyue said with a smile.
"Why do I think you're gloating? Looks like I'm going to have to punish you! Wen Bufan smiled and walked towards the Holy Maiden Xiyue.
"Don't make a fuss, Isha is still here!" The Holy Maiden Xiyue looked at Wen Bufan's appearance and knew what he was going to do.
"You'll just assume that I don't exist." Isabel said with a smile.
"That's not going to work either! There are also worshippers outside! The Holy Maiden Xiyue said.
Wen Bufan stopped at this time, looked outside and said, "This Anyang Hou is full of sincerity!" ”
After a while, Wen Bufan said: "Are all the worshippers like water? ”
"yes!" Saint Xiyue said.
"No wonder there is such a big movement outside, he can still worship so quietly." Wen Bufan said.
"He's so calm, what's so special about that maid and the two guards?" Isabel asked.
"Not really, it's always been like this!" After speaking, the Holy Maiden Xiyue looked at Isabel and said, "This is a little wrong! ”
"Yes, Anyang Hou can explain whether he is sincere in worship or not shocked in case of trouble, but the two guards and the maid seem so unfazed by the loud noise outside, is the concentration so good?" Isabel said.
"No, no matter how good the concentration is, they will also react, their duty is to protect the safety of the Marquis of Anyang, if there is a change in the city, they will definitely think that the Holy Maiden Hall is in danger, they will not be so calm at this moment!" Wen Bufan said.
"That means they're in the know!" Saint Xiyue said.
"That's right, either they know there's no danger here, or they know they don't!" Wen Bufan said: "No matter which one they are, they are all insiders!" ”
"Li Dakui is in danger!" Isabel said suddenly.
"Why?" Wen Bufan and the Holy Maiden Xiyue asked at the same time.
"It's too late to explain! Let's go find Li Dakui now! Isabel said.
"Good!" Wen Bufan and Isabel turned to leave.
"What about me?" Saint Xiyue said.
"Stay here and watch out for the people in the hall!" Isabel said.
The Holy Maiden Xiyue nodded and said, "Then you should be careful! ”
Out of the temple of the Holy Maiden, Wen Bufan and Isabel rushed towards the place where the fighting was most intense. On the way, Wen Bufan asked, "You mean that Anyang Hou is there to contain us?" ”
Isabel said: "An Yanghou may not know, but his people definitely know. ”
At this time, Li Dakui was encircling and suppressing the largest rebel force in Donglai City, this rebel team was led by a general of the original Beiyue State, and their target was Yin Yamen, the capital of Donglai City! And the Fu Yin Yamen prepared in advance, but there was no one in the yamen at all, so these rebels attacked and then surrounded them outside.
At this time, Li Dakui was catching turtles in the urn!
"Surround them and see how long they can hold out!" Li Dakui said loudly.
The defenders have stormed a few times, and these rebels are still fighting the trapped beasts! In order to avoid greater losses, Li Dakui adopted the strategy of besieging but not attacking, there is not the slightest grain and grass in this mansion Yin Yamen, see how long these people can hold out!
At this time, a palanquin appeared not far away.
"Go and ask someone, whose house is this, it's in the middle of the night, it's messy on the street, what are you doing here?" Li Dakui said.
A personal soldier rushed over and said a few words, and the sedan chair came towards Li Dakui.
The car door was lifted, and a chubby middle-aged man walked down.
Li Dakui saw that he knew each other, and said with a smile: "Steward Wei, what are you doing when you run out in the middle of the night without sleeping?" ”
"Our lord is worshipping in the temple of the Holy Maiden, and he has already told his wife not to go back tonight, but there is a commotion on the street, and Mrs. is not at ease, so don't you send me to see it." As he spoke, Steward Wei walked in the direction of Li Dakui.
