Yagyu Soiwa and Ishishima Master spoke in Fuso, and Monk Hirochi stood aside and couldn't understand most of them. It's just that he looked at the expressions of the two, but he also guessed Yanagi Zongyan's intentions. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the snowflakes seemed to fall from the sky, and they were swept by the cold wind and hit their faces, which was extremely uncomfortable. Rao is Guangzhi monk has deep internal strength, but at this time, he also feels cold and biting. He thought to himself, if he continues to toss like this, he is afraid that he will not be able to destroy the enemy, so let's fold in this ghost temple first. The lord of Shidao must have also seen that the surnamed Liu wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, so he refused to give the order for his subordinates to fight with the enemy. Everyone is making their own calculations, and I can't be a fool and make wedding dresses for others in vain.

Thinking of this, Monk Guangzhi had a retreat in his heart, and secretly looked around, looking for a way to retreat as a last resort.

Yanagi Zongyan saw that the stone island master was soft and hard, and his momentum was arrogant, and he was extremely angry in his heart. It's just that at this time, I can't turn my face with the master of Shidao, and I feel a little flustered in my heart. According to his original plan, he led everyone to pretend to enter the City God Temple as soon as possible according to the tolerance of the judge's yamen, and he could wipe out the heads of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Lu families without much effort. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and the tolerance of Luoyang Mansion and Xiuwu County Yamen refused to surrender, but resisted desperately. Although Fang has the upper hand, it is not easy to annihilate the other party in one fell swoop. Moreover, I heard Yun Zhongzi say that the old lady Nie had already made arrangements, and had already ordered Ruyangwei's three thousand iron horsemen to enter the city. As long as the City God Temple is on fire, Ruyangwei's iron cavalry will rush to help. It was because Yanagi Zongyan had to give up the fire attack, and he could only fight hard with the enemy, so that he could not annihilate the four heads of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du in one go. What's even worse is that the two guards and horses of Guide and Suiyang are also approaching Xiuwu County. If the three guards are all together, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to destroy the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, but the two families of the Liu Sheng clan and the Shidao lord will have to be wiped out.

The more Yanagi Zongyan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, seeing the enemy hedgehog gathered in front of the main hall, without the slightest fear or surrender, it would be extremely unfavorable to the side if he continued to be entangled like this. Yanagi Zongyan's eyes widened, and he said to the stone island lord: "Lord the island lord, if you don't listen to my persuasion, forcibly light a fire. The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and we have no way out, so you won't regret it. ”

The master of Shidao spread out his hands, pointed to the subordinates around him, and said to Yanagi Zongyan: "Your Excellency Yanagi, look at my subordinates, who have just fought hard, which one is not sweating? If you don't make a fire to keep warm, dry your clothes, and don't wait for the enemy to attack, you will freeze to death first." I don't know if the enemy has reinforcements, but my men would rather die in battle than freeze to death here!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Yanagi Soyan and ordered several of his leaders to find wood and light a fire to keep warm. After listening to the instructions of the lord of Shidao, several leaders were overjoyed, so they immediately led people to run to the side of the wooden city that was cut down by the strong autumn wind, and dragged and hugged them, and after a while, several piles of wood and bamboo pieces were piled up in the courtyard. A Japanese coward had already lit the fire and lit it. The lord of Shidao ordered more than 100 pirates to be left in a row to monitor the people in front of the main hall, while the rest of the pirates gathered around several fires to warm themselves by the fire and dry their clothes.

Ji Dingzhong stood on the top of the stone steps, and saw that the Japanese were lighting a fire to keep warm, and he was relieved, knowing that the Japanese would not attack the main hall for the time being, but gave him a chance to breathe. It's just that after thinking about it, Li Qiufeng and Old Lady Nie sang and harmonized in the main hall, and made up lies to deceive Yun Zhongzi, thinking that everyone had already made an agreement with Ruyang Wei Tieqi, and they wanted to attack the Japanese in front and back with the fire as a number. Because of this, the Wako have not dared to attack the main hall with rockets. Otherwise, the Japanese would not have done anything with everyone at all, and would have already set fire to the main hall and burned everyone to death. At this time, the Japanese invaders lit a fire in the City God Temple, and if the reinforcements did not arrive, the Japanese would know that they had fallen into the hands of the old lady Nie and Li Qiufeng, and they would immediately think of burning the City God Temple. At that time, his own side will have to be completely annihilated.

Thinking of this, Ji Dingzhong broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and he thought hard about a plan to get out. It's just that at the moment, the Japanese are trapping everyone to death, and trying to come up with a good way in a hurry is even more difficult than the whole day.

Li Qiufeng, Yin Zhutou, Master Feng and others stood under the stone steps, watching the Japanese people light several fires, and their hearts were also shocked. He knew that the reason why Liu Sheng Zongyan did not order the Japanese to burn down the hall was because he and Old Lady Nie had set up a suspicious formation, which made Liu Sheng Zongyan suspicious and could only give up the fire attack plan. At this time, the Japanese people did not hesitate to light a fire to keep warm, although the fire was not large, but when night was approaching, a fire would be seen in the courtyard outside the City God Temple. If the reinforcements did not appear, Yanagi Zongyan would immediately know that he had been fooled, and he was afraid that he would order the Japanese to burn down the main hall at any time. As a result, the people lost their reliance against the Japanese and could only engage with the Japanese in short combat. The Japanese are outnumbered, and they will inevitably have the upper hand. Moreover, everyone was trapped in front of the main hall, and if the main hall caught fire, everyone would not be burned to death, but would be crushed to death by the collapsed pillars of the main hall. The more Li Qiufeng thought about it, the more frightened he became, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was hesitant for a while.

Yanagi Zongyan saw that the lord of Shidao had several leaders light a fire, and his heart was also extremely angry. Before he and the Shidao lord entered the Chenghuang Temple, they had made preparations in advance, sent people to stay outside the Chenghuang Temple, and killed him and more than 20 of his subordinates while Zhang Baixing was unprepared, and then replaced them with the Shidao Lord's widows to guard the temple gate to prevent pilgrims from breaking in, and also to monitor whether there were any helpers from the Nie family outside the Chenghuang Temple. Liu Sheng Zongyan listened attentively, and there was no unusual movement outside the City God Temple. It's just that he was quite uneasy in his heart, and he was about to tell the killers of the Yanagi clan to be careful, but he saw the Shidao Lord turn his head and say to him: "Your Excellency Yanagi don't worry, we have ambushed fifty or sixty people outside the City God Temple, and if the enemy really has reinforcements, they will definitely sound a warning." We can take it in stride, you can rest assured. ”

Yanagi Zongyan snorted and said, "Lord Islander, let's be careful. If the enemy's cavalry arrives, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it. ”

Shidao said: "I have seen a lot of soldiers and horses in the Ming Kingdom, and there are few who are not afraid of death. When we were in Fujian, there were often more than a dozen people chasing hundreds of Ming soldiers running around. ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "I heard from the lord of Akasawa Island on Gogaku Island that a few months ago, the envoy of the Ouchi clan, Sosus, went to the Ming Kingdom to pay tribute, and there was a conflict between the envoy of the envoy Si Yamen in Soba City and the envoy of Lord Hosokawa. The two sides immediately started to work on the banquet. The eunuchs of the Ming Kingdom benefited from the eunuchs, favored the envoys of Lord Hosokawa, and ordered the siege and killing of the sect. As a result, Zong Shi took more than a dozen of his subordinates and killed the envoy of Lord Hosokawa on the spot, not counting, but also killed more than a dozen Ming officials who were present, and rushed out of the Yamen of the City Division. ”

When the stone island lord said this, his tone became excited, and the firelight reflected on his face, showing a strange red. I only heard him continue: "This master Zongshi is really a good man, with only a dozen subordinates, after breaking out of the Yamen of the City Bo Division, he slashed and killed hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Ming State all the way, from the Yamen to the north gate of Ningbo. The tolerance of the Yamen of the City Bo Division and the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in Ningbo City besieged everywhere, but they could not stop it, and even let Master Zongshe and more than a dozen of his subordinates rush out of the north gate of Ningbo unscathed. The officials of the Ming Kingdom were extremely stupid, thinking that the master of Zongshe entered the city from the east gate, and the boat he took stayed outside the east gate, so that when he escaped from Ningbo City, he naturally wanted to rush out from the east gate. Thousands of Ming officers and soldiers gathered at the east gate of the city, waiting for the master of the sect to fall into the trap. However, Master Zongshi was not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely wise, knowing that the officers and soldiers would definitely fortify in the east of the city, so he led his men to the north of the city and easily broke out of the city.

Only then did the officials of the Ming State know that the situation is not good, so they immediately sent thousands of officers and soldiers to follow and pursue, and ordered the yamen of various prefectures and counties along the road to set up cards to intercept them, and be sure to capture or kill the master of Zongshi. Master Zongshi only brought a dozen of his subordinates, and he was so embarrassed that the officers and soldiers who intercepted them jumped with their heads in their hands. Later, Liu Jin, commander of the Ming State and Zhang Bo of Qianhu, led more than 2,000 officers and soldiers to chase after him. Lord Zongshe was not afraid, counterattacked the Ming army, and attacked the main general of the Ming army in the chaos of the army, killing Liu Jin and Zhang Bo in public. The officers and soldiers of the Ming State lost their commanders, and they were scattered when they arrived. Master Zongshu fought his way out of the siege and disappeared. He was able to defeat thousands of officers and soldiers with a dozen people and kill the Ming officials. We have more than 600 people here, and we are afraid that these waste Han people will not succeed?!"
