From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 848

Long Chen was the first to grab the rope and slide down the cliff, and then immediately lit a small fire at the bottom of the cliff.

The bottom of the cliff is a blind spot, and you won't be found if you light a fire.

The infantry needed light to come down, but the moonlight was blocked and could not reach the bottom of the cliff.

So, Long Chen went down first and lit a fire.

Ye Chang was on the edge of the cliff and said, "Go down!"

Long Chen went down, and the others immediately followed the hemp rope without saying a word.

Soon, 1000 people went down the cliff.

After all the people were gathered, Long Chen put out the fire and continued to sneak towards the west by the moonlight.

Everyone took their mouths and walked westward silently.

Walking all the way to Yinshi, everyone has arrived near Zhenguo Temple.

At first, everyone thought that the target of the night attack was the enemy troops outside the pass.

When we got here, everyone understood that the goal this time was Zhenguo Temple.

However, as far as they know, the Zhenguo Temple is strictly guarded.

Because it was raided once last time.

Is it still useful to repeat the old trick this time?

Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but no one dares to say it.

Long Chen never followed the rules when using troops, and things that others thought were impossible were often achieved by Long Chen.

Anyway, following Long Chen can't go wrong.

"Stop!"

Long Chen suddenly shouted, and everyone stopped immediately.

In the distance, a group of cavalry patrolled with torches, only 100 meters away from Long Chen.

There was a small mountain ahead, and the road turned into a dead end around the mountain, which could not be found in the distance.

All the soldiers bowed down, holding their waist sabers tightly in their hands.

There were not many cavalry patrolling in this group, only a dozen of them, holding torches in their hands, and their speed was not fast.

"There is a war ahead, let us patrol a bird!"

A cavalryman grumbled and walked forward cursing.

The leading cavalryman said: "It is because there is a war ahead that we have to be on guard."

"Have you forgotten what happened last time? The two masters, Kong Ji and Deshan, fought at Jade Buddha Pass, and Longcheng got into Zhenguo Temple, and they were all burned down in a big fire."

The cavalry behind said: "There are still tens of thousands of people guarding the Zhenguo Temple, what are you afraid of? Besides, the road is not blocked, and a temple has been built to guard it."

Deshan not only sent people to guard the path that Long Chen took last time, but also specially built a temple and guarded it there for a long time.

Doing things with virtue and kindness can not be said to be imprecise.

The cavalry walked forward slowly, Long Chen remained motionless, waiting for the patrolling cavalry to pass by.

After the cavalry walked away, Long Chen got up and continued walking.

An hour later, Long Chen finally arrived at the foot of Zhen Guo Temple Mountain.

Fortresses built of brick and stone stood on the mountain, Zhenguo Temple was surrounded by layers, and there was only one way to go up the mountain.

There is a brazier on the tripod, and the flames of the firewood are blazing, illuminating the whole Zhenguo Temple.

Monk soldiers and iron kites kept patrolling back and forth, and the whole Zhenguo Temple was like an iron barrel.

Seeing such a scene, Ye Chang couldn't help but said: "King Wu, how... how did you break in?"

According to visual estimates, the defenders of Zhenguo Temple are at least 1000, while Long Chen only has [-].

If you want to attack the mountain by force, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

Even if Long Chen's cultivation base is advanced and he can defeat a thousand with one, so what?

Xue Ping and others behind him also murmured, feeling that Long Chen was a little unreliable this time.

After touching the night road all night, this is the end?

Long Chen smiled, and said: "Who said they want to break in? Everyone, follow me."

Long Chen led the people to an abandoned house quietly, and there was a stench all around.

Xue Ping stepped on the ground and felt something strange.

The moonlight was not bright enough for him to see clearly, but he could smell the stench.

"what..."

Xue Ping said something in a low voice.

Long Chen said: "This is the place where the tenants of Zhenguo Temple compost."

Zhenguo Temple occupied a lot of fertile fields, and then hired the surrounding people to cultivate them for them, becoming tenant farmers.

Zhenguo Temple actually became a big landlord.

This place is the place where the tenants ferment and ferment all kinds of dung heaps here.

Fortunately, the weather is not too hot, and the smell of fermentation is not so strong.

Hearing what Long Chen said, Xue Ping immediately knew what he had stepped on.

"Why are you here?"

Xue Ping was a little helpless, but he didn't dare to complain.

Before walking to a hillside, there was still a tomb.

Long Chen said: "This leads to the top of Zhenguo Temple, follow me!"

Long Chen kicked the door of the tomb, and everyone followed behind.

There was a coffin inside, but it was decayed, and only some white bone fragments remained.

The door of the tomb is not big, but the passage after entering is wide enough for three people to walk side by side without bowing their heads.

"When was such a spacious passage built?"

Ye Chang was a little surprised, he didn't know there was such a passage here.

Long Chen said: "When I occupied Zhenguo Temple last year, I asked Lao Wu to build it."

Ye Chang secretly admired in his heart: King Wu has far-reaching considerations, so he left behind last year.

Fluorescent stone was left on the wall of the passage, and the light was not bright, but it was enough for everyone to vaguely see the path under their feet.

After walking more than 1000 meters, Long Chen stopped slowly.

From here, there are three forks.

Long Chen called Ye Chang and Xue Ping over, and said in a low voice: "There are three openings here, leading to three places in Zhenguo Temple."

"Starting from here, divide the troops separately. You each bring 400 people, and I bring 200."

"After going out from the opening, kill anyone you see, don't keep your hands."

Zhenguo Temple is full of monks and iron kites, not innocent people, so naturally there is no need to be soft-hearted.

Ye Chang and Xue Ping took orders and immediately divided up their troops, choosing the openings on both sides, while Long Chen was in the middle.

Looking up at the opening sealed by the wooden board, Long Chen pulled out the black long sword and slashed at the wooden board.

boom!

The opening was cracked, and a pile of bricks and stones fell down, just enough to climb up.

Holding the sword, Long Chen jumped out and landed in a side hall of Zhenguo Temple.

Oil lamps were lit in the hall, and the refuge Buddha looked down at Long Chen with a ferocious face.

It was already dawn at this time, and it was the most tiring time for people.

The hall was brightly lit, but empty.

The monk soldiers of Zhenguo Temple and the iron kite were defending at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. No one expected that Long Chen would appear on the top of the mountain.

The Long family army crawled out of the cave, Long Chen walked out with his sword in hand, and all the soldiers followed behind.

Walking to the gate, I happened to bump into two monks who were watching the night.

Seeing Long Chen wearing the green dragon armor and the Long family army behind him, the night watchman with heavy eyelids was stunned.

"You...you..."

The monk thought that his vision was wrong.

"I... dreamed?"

When the monk was wondering, Long Chen swung his black sword, and two round bald heads fell to the ground.

"kill!"

Long Chen shouted loudly, the Long family army drew their swords one after another, rushed into the monk's room, and killed them when they saw it.

Long Chen picked up an oil lamp and lit the curtains in the hall, and the fire quickly ignited.

Ye Chang and Xue Ping also came out, and the sound of fighting could be heard.

Long Chen carried the sword and walked all the way out. The monks in the monk's room heard the movement, and they all came out in pajamas with swords.

"Who! It's on fire!"

Seeing Long Chen, the monk froze for a moment, then saw the burning hall and shouted in panic.

With a flash of Long Chen's figure, the black sword flew past, and a dozen heads landed on the ground.
