Chapter 89 Chapter 89: Dongchang Lama

It was at that time that Zhao Guan sent Li Huamei to Mount Tai for treatment and saved her life; after that, he rushed to the main altar of the Qing Gang to meet Zhao Gangzhu, and got Zhao Gangzhu's promise to help revenge with all his strength, and appointed him as the leader of the Gengwu altar. job.After Zhao Guan bid farewell to Gang Leader Zhao, he took Ding Xiang and Xin Wutan's subordinates to leave Wuhan, and went south to Yueyang to take over and rectify Lin Xiaochao's old department.One month later, everything was ready to receive Geng Wu.One day, a secret message came from Baihuamen, saying that someone saw two men wielding scimitars on Wudang Mountain.Zhao Guan's heart moved, he thought to himself: There are not many people who wield scimitars in the martial arts, could it be the one who broke into Youwei Valley that year?

He thought that the clues were rare, so he decided to go to Wudang to find out in person.He explained the affairs of Xin Wu and Geng Wu, and rushed to Hubei with Lilac.At the foot of Wudang Mountain, I realized that Wudang had come out in full force, and went to Shaolin to confront the beggar gang.He searched around Wudang Mountain for several days, but found nothing, so he couldn't help feeling very annoyed.Just when they were about to turn back to Hangzhou, news came from the people of Baihuamen, saying that they saw a few people wielding scimitars appearing in a Taoist temple in Hubei a few days ago, and then hurried on the road, seeming to go to Shaanxi. go.After traveling for several days, they crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered the territory of Shaanxi. The two stopped in a town.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang went out to have breakfast, and saw many red-clothed lamas passing by on the street, they felt strange, so they asked Xiaoer: Is there a lama temple near here?Why are there so many lamas wandering the streets? The waiter whispered: These lamas are from the capital, they are very fierce.The day before yesterday they made a fuss in Fengyang Restaurant, smashing many tables, chairs, cups and plates.Zhao Guanqi said: They came all the way from Beijing to Shaanxi to make trouble, what did they do?Xiaoer lowered his voice even more, and said, "My lord, don't ask too many questions."I heard that they are here to hunt down criminals wanted by the imperial court, I don't know if they are?Others said they were Dongchang's subordinates.Hey, I didn't say this, if someone asks, guest officer, don't say I said it.Then hurried away.

Zhao Guan snorted.It should be known that Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was suspicious and jealous. In order to monitor and control the subjects of the government and the opposition, he established Dongchang in the Yongle period.Later, Dongchang was controlled by treacherous officials and eunuchs in the court, and it became a sharp weapon for weaving charges and dealing with dissidents, and became notorious.During the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong, the West Factory was added, and the two factories intensified, destroying the upright people in the court and the common people.When Zhao Guan heard that these lamas were lackeys of Dongchang, he felt disgusted in his heart and thought to himself: I wonder who these minions are here to catch?Since I met you, you can't just sit back and watch.

After breakfast, all the lamas gathered at the door of the inn, there were always more than a hundred people, ready to go on the road.Zhao Guan caught a glimpse of two men in black standing on the corner of the street, with the brims of their hats drooping, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.The two watched the lama for a while, then walked away quickly, their movements were very agile, Zhao Guan secretly took his heart.Not long after, all the lamas set out on the road in groups of ten, and rode westward on horseback.Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang settled the bill, and followed behind on horseback.

Not long after he left the city, he heard the sound of hooves behind him. Zhao Guan looked back, but saw two horsemen rushing towards him. The passengers on the horses were all in black clothes, and their faces were covered with black cloth. They seemed to be the two men in black clothes they had seen in the city. .Both of their mounts were pitch-black, they were extremely steeds, they flew over with eight hooves, passing by Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang, kicking up a cloud of dust. Ding Xiang said: These two horses run really fast.Zhao Guandao: Most of these two passengers have martial arts skills.I don't know if they are here for those lamas?

After traveling for more than ten miles, they suddenly smelled the smell of blood. The two of them rode forward, but saw bloodstains on the ground.Ding Xiang got off his horse and checked, and saw ten lamas lying down in the haystack, all dead.Ding Xiang pondered and said: Those two men in black must have done it. Zhao Guan got off his horse and inspected the wounds of everyone, he said: "These two killed ten big lamas in a flash, their martial arts are very powerful, I don't know why?"Let's follow up and have a look.Now he rode his horse and galloped fast, wanting to catch up and see what happened.

The road ahead turned a big bend, Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang rode their horses to turn the corner, and saw two black horses galloping on the road ahead, another gang of lamas was even ahead.Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang looked at each other, but saw that the two black horses suddenly galloped up at the same time, overtook the group of lamas, where the silver light flashed, the two men in black unsheathed their long swords and charged at the group of lamas.The ten lamas quickly took out their weapons to resist, but the man in black's long sword was erratic, and his moves were fierce, killing five lamas in an instant.At this moment, shouts came from the bushes, and a group of lamas came out, there were more than eighty people, and surrounded the two men in black, obviously an ambush set up in advance.A tall lama shouted: "You two attacked my senior brother all the way, what kind of enmity do you have with us?"Sign up quickly!

The two men in black didn't answer, they leaned their horses together, suddenly scolded coquettishly, and galloped their horses towards the way they came.All the lamas held their weapons to stop them, but the two horses ran extremely fast, broke out of the encirclement in the blink of an eye, and were running towards Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang.All the lamas got on their horses one after another, and then caught up. Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang saw dozens of lamas charging towards this side with astonishing momentum, so they quickly turned their horses' heads and gave way to the side of the road.But seeing the two black horses swiftly passing by in front of him, they disappeared after a short while.All the lamas rushed after him, but also disappeared in the dust.

Ding Xiang said: "It's two girls."Zhao Guan nodded, and said: It seems that he is a first-rate knight, who punished and killed these lawless lamas.Tsk tsk, those two horses are running so fast, they are really amazing, maybe they were transformed into dragons, so they are the so-called dragon horses.It is rare to see a dragon horse in a hundred years, we should catch up to see it clearly. Ding Xiang pursed her lips and said with a smile: The young master wants to see people, so why bother to say that he wants to see horses? Zhao Guan said with a smile: "If people are good-looking, they should also look at people."

Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang rode their horses back and returned to the town after a while.The group of lamas obviously failed to catch up with the two men in black, they yelled and searched around the town.In the afternoon, a group of lamas repacked and set off again, this time in a group of twenty, heading west again. Zhao Guandao: Those two men in black will definitely trouble the lama again, we just follow.Then and Ding Xiang followed slowly.Until the next place, the two men in black did not appear again.All the lamas ate and drank in the hotel, making a lot of noise and arrogance. They claimed to be the imperial court messengers who came out of the capital on business, and they didn't give money after the meal.When a group of lamas were full and drunk, they ganged up on the streets, some went to gamble, some went to prostitutes, and some saw beautiful girls on the road, so they grabbed them and forced them to serve them. Zhao watched and couldn't help being annoyed: These lamas came out of the capital, and they are so lawless in the local area, it's really not a thing.He said to Ding Xiang: "Those who grabbed the women by force, go and solve it for me."Ding Xiang nodded, walked to the side of a few lamas on the street, and said with a smile: "Buddhas, how can these two girls be as beautiful as the girls from Piaochun Pavilion?"Come with me, let our sisters entertain all Buddhas. The four lamas were so drunk that their eyes slanted, and one of them smiled and said: "Little girl, the Buddha doesn't want others to accompany him, but you."Ding Xiang smiled and said: Ah, I am alone, how can I accompany the four of you?Seeing that Ding Xiang was cute and cute, all the lamas let go of the two folk girls.The second daughter had already turned pale with fright, seeing the Buddha let her go, as if she had been pardoned, she rushed away. The four lamas surrounded Ding Xiang, making fun of each other and reaching out to touch her.Ding Xiang giggled coquettishly, and said: The street is so ugly, let's go to the alley.Then he and the four of them walked into a dark alley. Not long after, Ding Xiang walked back to the restaurant and said to Zhao Guan: "Master, it's all settled."Zhao Guan nodded slightly and said: Very good.
