The monks and abbots in Tongshan Temple knew each other very well, so when he learned that the Qing soldiers were coming straight to the temple, he knew that there must be people in the courtyard who were being pursued by the Qing court, but he didn't expect that this person was Wang Yan, the loyal and brave Marquis of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the abbot was a monk, he was not ignorant of worldly things, and he also knew the name of Wang Yan, and he was immediately surprised.

He originally thought that what the Qing soldiers were going to hunt down was just an ordinary anti-Qing soldier, so if he saved it, the Qing soldiers would not be too embarrassed by the temple, but if it was Wang Yan, it was very different, his reputation was very heavy, if the Qing soldiers were empty, they would not necessarily let go of the temple, and they might even have to kill people to vent their anger.

At this time, the abbot couldn't help but weigh in his heart, although he has been a monk for many years, but after all, he is not a Buddha, or he is still influenced by the world, he is a monk, that is also a monk of the Han family, and finally he sighed slightly and made a decision: "The situation is urgent, Jingzhi may not be delayed for long, Hou Ye please move to the back mountain with the poor monk, there is a hidden path, which can lead to the General Mountain, which can help Hou Ye get rid of the pursuit of the Qing soldiers." ”

"I have already caused trouble for your hospital, and I feel very guilty in my heart, if the master helps me escape again, will I not sit in the name of my accomplices, and I will be retaliated by the Qing soldiers." Wang Yanwei said: "In this way, I can't rest assured!" ”

"The Buddha said, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, Hou Ye has countless living people, and poor monks help him, which is a great merit!" The abbot persuaded: "Lord Hou is the stone pillar of the country, the protection of all the people, please plan for yourself, and quickly follow the poor monk to the back mountain." ”

"Master Hou, the master's words are reasonable, it is useless to stay here now, it is better to leave quickly!" When Liu Shun learned that the Qing soldiers were coming, he was worried about Wang Yan's safety, so he opened his mouth to persuade.

Seeing this, Wang Yan nodded and promised, and hurriedly asked people to hastily pack their bags, pick up their weapons, follow the abbot master, and run towards the back mountain.

At this time, there was a sudden uproar outside the temple, followed by the sound of dense footsteps, accompanied by "Capture Wang Yan alive, reward 100 gold, and the official will advance to the third order." Tian Xiong had already led the troops, broke through the monks' barriers, and directly entered the temple.

Wang Yan and his entourage, their faces suddenly sank when they heard the sound, and they all accelerated their pace, but Tongshan Temple is a small temple, which is not big, and the Qing soldiers are chasing so closely, even if Wang Yan and his party are on the trail, it is difficult to get rid of the Qing soldiers behind them.

Wang Yan and the others were in Nanzhili, which was controlled by the Qing soldiers, and if they were entangled by the Qing soldiers, there was basically no possibility of escape.

At such a critical juncture, in order to let Wang Yan get out smoothly, two of his subordinates suddenly stopped spontaneously and said: "We are not acting secretly, so that Hou Ye is in danger, and now I am willing to sacrifice my life to cover Hou Ye's retreat, in order to make up for it." ”

These two people were the people who were sent back to the boat by Wang Yan last night, and the Qing soldiers arrived, and they all thought that it was their own negligence that allowed the Qing soldiers to follow them to Tongshan Temple, and they felt guilty.

"This is not the fault of the two of you, it is really the fault of Benhou!" When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but stop and looked back at the two of them: "You two don't want to make senseless sacrifices, and go with Ben Hou, it's important to leave this place quickly." ”

"I am waiting for the people of Yangzhou, all of whom have been rescued by the marquis, and today is the time to repay the favor!" The two did not listen to Wang Yan's words, but bowed to the ground, kowtowed to Wang Yan and said, "Please take care of my father and elder, I will wait!" ”

Both of them are citizens of Yangzhou, one is He Yijiang and the other is Yang Sicheng, after they finished speaking, they got up and picked up their knives and went in the direction that the Qing soldiers were chasing.

Seeing this, Liu Shun and the others hurriedly pulled Wang Yan, supported Hou Fangyu, who was weaker, and left quickly.

At this time, Tian Xiong killed in the temple, and when he met the monk, he asked sharply: "Where is Wang Yan?" The monk did not answer, or did not know what to say, and he was immediately slashed to the ground.

Tongshan Temple is not big, the Qing soldiers searched the front yard and the main hall in a moment, and slowly approached the back mountain, at this moment, He Yijiang and Yang Sicheng suddenly stood up from the corner and shouted: "I am the loyal and brave Marquis Wang Shiheng of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

When the Qing soldiers heard the sound, they thought of the reward promised by Tian Xiong, and immediately rejoiced, and shot them with a group of arrows, and the two of them used knives and arrows to kill seven or eight people, and finally He Yijiang was killed by an arrow through the chest, and Yang Sicheng was pierced by a spear in the abdomen, and died of exhaustion.

In order to earn the credit, the Qing soldiers rushed up, and the bodies of the two soldiers were immediately divided into dozens of pieces.

Tian Xiong heard the sound of killing and hurriedly dared to come over, but the two were killed.

When the Qing soldiers saw him coming, they immediately gathered around, each holding a corpse, and said that he was the one who killed Wang Shiheng.

Tian Xiong couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this, he suspected the identity of the deceased, and hurriedly found the head to identify him, but found that it was not Wang Yan.

At this time, the Qing soldiers who searched the temple came to report again, and did not find Wang Yan, but found a path leading to the mountain in the back mountain, and Tian Xiong knew that Wang Yan had fled from Tongshan Temple.

At this time, he knew that Wang Yan had entered the mountain, and ordered the small leader to lead the men and horses into the trail to chase and kill Wang Yan, and he saw that he could no longer swallow the credit for capturing Wang Yan alone, so he entered the city with Pegasus and reported the whole matter to Ang Bangzhang Jingtulai, who was sitting in Jiangning.

Wang Yan entered the mountain, and he couldn't get out of the mountain for a while, although it was too late to send troops to surround the mountain, but he could send troops to guard the main water and land roads to prevent Wang Yan from escaping from Jiangning, but these were not things that Tian Xiong could do, so the credit must be given to Tulai.

Tian Xiong didn't want the boiled duck to fly, he couldn't help but be furious, before leaving, he ordered the Qing soldiers to kill all the monks in the courtyard, and then set fire to the Tongshan Temple.

Wang Yan and his entourage, Dehe Yijiang and Yang Sicheng delayed, and safely followed the abbot master on the back mountain trail, but the mountain path was narrow and thorny and difficult to walk, which seriously affected their speed.

Not long after, the mountain Tongshan Temple fire, everyone with the knowledge of He, Yang two people have died, the heart of infinite sadness, the abbot master on the mountainside looking at the temple in the flames, can not help but sigh deeply.

The trail has not been pedestrianized for several years, Wang Yan and his party have overcome obstacles, and the Qing army that has caught up from the back mountain is undoubtedly much faster on the road they have cleared, and Wang Yan is still not out of danger.

Sure enough, after marching a distance, Wang Yan and the others could already see the Qing army climbing behind them, and it would not take a quarter of an hour to be chased up.

Wang Yan was walking in front, and among the several subordinates who were walking behind, two more suddenly stopped, bowed to Wang Yan, and no longer climbed, but sat with a knife and waited for the Qing soldiers to come up.

In this way, the Qing soldiers were stopped again, but the two strong men only had long knives in their hands, but the Qing soldiers had swords, guns, shields and bows, all sealed, and soon broke through the obstruction and continued to pursue.

For a time, every once in a distance, Wang Yan's team, there were a few people, farewell to Wang Yan, resolutely left to block the enemy, they leaned on the rocks, relying on the long knife, the heart of death, for Wang Yan to fight for a glimmer of life, so that he burst into tears.

Thanks to the good friends of the generation of heroes, **Si Lord, Tang Doudou 123 for the reward.
