Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Yu personally led the troops and the army besieged Ci'en Temple, which had been searched many times by the City Defense Department in the past few days.  Although Liu Yu found it strange that Yang Lie was at Ci'en Temple, the Buddhist temple in Chang'an City had become the target of public criticism after the Sanqing Rebellion, and Liu Yu did not want any future trouble.  Liu Yu led his troops to Ci'en Temple and went straight to the main hall of Ci'en Temple. Because Liu Yu had not issued an order to arrest the monks of Ci'en Temple, the Ci'en Temple was still calm at this time.  When Liu Yu arrived at the main hall of Ci'en Temple, there was a monk waiting for him. He was wearing cassocks, with his back to the door and facing the big Buddha in the main hall, as if he was chanting sutras.  Liu Yu couldn't recognize who it was just from the back, but he felt that the back looked somewhat similar to Yang Lie.  Liu Yu had a lot of trust in Yang Lie at the beginning, and Yang Lie, as a son of an aristocratic family in Chang'an City, helped Liu Yu complete the transfer of power after Su Yan ascended the throne, so he was considered a meritorious official.  Liu Yu also knew that if Yang Lie had not betrayed him, his status would be higher than many of Liu Yu's direct descendants in the current court.  Yang Lie, who could have become the second Han Sheng, turned out to be a traitor.  Liu Yu felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the Buddhist temple, so he did not enter the main hall of the Buddhist temple, but stood in the open space outside the main hall.  Until the man who had been facing away from him in the main hall turned around, a sneer appeared on Liu Yu's lips. This man was not Yang Lie, but Su Zhe, whose flesh Liu Yu hated to eat.  At this time, Su Zhe, with his bald head, looked like a monk with profound Buddhist teachings.  No matter how Liu Yu thought of him, he shouldn't have appeared here. Even if Su Zhe was bold and dared to hide in Ci'en Temple, he shouldn't have appeared here at this time.  There is a conspiracy!  Although Liu Yu felt something was wrong, it would be a pity not to seize such a good opportunity now.  Liu Yu didn't have the time to think about it.  How Su Zhe had escaped arrest several times before.  Why are you here now?  He only knew that he had to catch the person first, or simply kill him to vent his anger.  Liu Yu waved his hand, and the guards and New Army soldiers around him swarmed forward, and gunfire rang out.  But in the main hall of Ci'en Temple, a violent explosion suddenly occurred, and the smoke from the explosion shrouded Su Zhe and himself in the smoke.  "Shoot to death!" Liu Yu shouted.  The sound of gunfire became increasingly intensive.  Many soldiers have rushed into the main hall, but sporadic explosions are still ringing inside. As the explosions continue, flames also rise in the main hall, because most houses in this era are made of wooden structures. Together with the fire,  It will be difficult to clean up.  Liu Yu thought to himself that it would be the greatest irony for him if Su Zhe was so blatantly provocative and escaped alive.  He would never allow others the opportunity to laugh at him like this.  There were constant explosions in the main hall, and the fire gradually rose.  There was so much smoke inside that Liu Yu couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.  But at this moment, a group of bald monks wearing monk robes were seen fleeing from behind the Buddha statue in the main hall to the backyard of Ci'en Temple.  Liu Yu guessed that Su Zhe was probably among these people, and immediately ordered his guards to pursue him.  The explosion and fire in the main hall of Ci'en Temple were quickly brought under control. As the smoke dissipated, the soldiers who rushed inside also discovered that people had escaped.  Ignoring the search, they all rushed out towards the backyard of Ci'en Temple and saw the group of monks fleeing into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.  Liu Yu watched the monks enter and looked at the setting sun. He immediately remembered Wu Shuo's interpretation of those prophecies, saying that a fire was coming, and this fire should be the highest in Chang'an City.  place.     Da-Yan Tower?  Liu Yu couldn't think too much. At this time, the guards had already attacked the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. However, unlike the situation in the main hall of Ci'en Temple, the monks in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda resisted fiercely.  When the soldiers arrived inside, shouts of killing were accompanied by sporadic explosions and gunshots, and another chaotic battle broke out.  Not long after, a figure appeared on the highest floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It was Su Zhe who had provoked Liu Yu in the main hall before.  "Sure enough, he's not dead yet!" Liu Yu subconsciously touched his waist, and then he remembered that he was not wearing a short gun, so he took the guard's long gun, aimed it in the direction of Su Zhe at the top of the tower, and wanted to shoot.  But Liu Yu also found that the distance was too far and it was too difficult to shoot. It was better to wait for the New Army soldiers to rush up and capture him.  Liu Yu thought to himself, in the main hall of Ci'en Temple, Su Zhe could escape through the back door, but when he arrived at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he was still at the top of the tower. Could he still be able to fly with wings?  The firefight in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda continued, and soon the voices of people moved from the first floor to the second floor, and then people on both sides could be seen fighting on the third and fourth floors of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.  The monks in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, armed with sticks and swords, fought to the death with the New Army soldiers holding muskets. In such a narrow place, the muskets had no advantage, and the New Army soldiers faced another group of trapped beasts that were still fighting.  The disciples could only suppress the enemy in numbers and gradually move closer to the top of the tower.  At this time, the City Defense Department Yamen and Jingzhao Mansion, as well as Huo Bing's newly formed Royal Forest Army, had been dispatched or heard the news and rushed to Da Ci'en Temple.  Among these people, Huo Bing was the bravest and most impatient. When he came to Liu Yu, he?Looking up following Liu Yu's gaze, there was a person standing on the highest floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. He was stunned and said: "Damn, there is someone? Is it a monk?" "Erhu, if you capture this person, there will be a big reward!" Huo  Without saying anything, Bing led people directly into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.  With the new force of Huo Bing, the momentum of the stubbornly resisting monks was greatly reduced. Seeing that Huo Bing had climbed to the second floor, a violent explosion suddenly occurred on the third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and some New Army soldiers and monks who were originally on the second floor were directly blown away. They flew out from the windows on the third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and dust and smoke billowed.  Then, a fierce fire burned violently from the third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Huo Bing was blocked by the fire on the second floor and could not go up.  The fire spread rapidly upwards, and soon it would cover the entire Big Wild Goose Pagoda.  Huo Bing had no choice but to evacuate from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. At this time, many of the monks in the tower were on fire. They all jumped from the tower covered in flames and were either thrown to death or burned to death. Even those who survived  , Huo Bing took someone up to give him a shot, but no one survived.  At this time, Su Zhe, who was at the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, still looked calm and composed.  Liu Yu couldn't guess what the purpose of Su Zhe's presence here was. Was he planning to be buried in a sea of ??fire and die a grand death?  Liu Yu looked at the fire all over the sky and didn't know what to do.  It seemed that Liao Mingsheng came over in a hurry, went to Liu Yu, and bowed down: "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!" "Say what you have to say quickly!" Liu Yu shouted angrily without looking away from Su Zhe on the top of the tower.  .  "My lord, I have learned that there are some rebellious ministers in the court who are preparing to force the palace!"
