Baoguo Temple is located outside the south city. It is a large temple with more than a thousand monks. It has a history of more than a hundred years. The next morning, Li Zhen brought more than a dozen people to Baoguo Temple. He came here to visit Master Zhiguang, the abbot of the former Linzhi Temple.

Since Hanoi Lao Ni occupied Linzhi Temple, hundreds of monks in the original temple have been forced to move to Baoguo Temple. They have raised funds everywhere to beg for alms and prepared to rebuild the temple outside the city.

A monk led them into the backyard. At the gate of a monastery, Li Zhen met Master Zhiguang. He was injured by Lan Zhenyu's poisonous arrow, but he was injured by Master Zhiguang for several days and received proper care. He was always grateful.

"Amitabha, Mr. Li is fine?" Master Zhiguang said with a smile.

"It's a small matter to trouble the master."

"You might as well, Mr. Li, please sit in the room!"

Li Zhen asked his subordinates to wait outside the courtyard. He followed Master Zhiguang into the Zen room. The two of them took a seat. A little monk served them tea. Li Zhen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I heard that the master planned to rebuild the temple. Didn't he think of returning to Linzhi Temple?"

Master Zhiguang smiled helplessly, "How easy is it!"

"I am determined to expel the demon nun and return the Linzhi Temple to the master." Li Zhen said with a tentative smile.

Master Zhiguang smiled faintly, "Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness."

Master Zhiguang obviously just perfunctory Li Zhen. He didn't believe that Li Zhen had this ability. With Xue Huaiyi's backstage, even the prime minister today had no choice but to give up on returning to Linzhi Temple. Of course, Li Zhen did not show anything that convinced him.

At this time, Li Zhen took out his inner guard commander's gold medal and placed it on the table, "Can this be done?"

Master Zhiguang's eyes suddenly looked straight. The inner guard's double-headed eagle waist card was known to everyone in Luoyang City. Ordinary soldiers wore bronze medals, while the lieutenant wore silver medals, and the commander and two deputy commanders wore gold medals. Li Zhen took out the double-headed eagle gold medal. How could Master Zhiguang not be shocked?

He quickly got up and folded his hands to salute, "I have neglected Commander Li!"

Li Zhen smiled and replied, "I don't mean anything else, I just want the master to know that I am definitely not talking nonsense."

Master Zhiguang's eyes began to shine, and he no longer felt as frowning as before. Of course, he was eager to return to Linzhi Temple, but behind the old Ni Ni Hanoi was Xue Huaiyi, which made him feel deeply desperate.

But Li Zhen took out the gold medal of the inner guard, which gave him a glimmer of hope. The inner guard is largely implementing the will of the Lord. Has the Lord also begun to hate the Hanoi demons?

Master Zhiguang quickly asked Li Zhen to sit down again, leaned over and smiled, "I wonder what help I can provide to Commander Li?"

He was too eager to return to Linzhi Temple and had no idea of ​​hiding his inner expectations.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I came to visit the master today, hoping to get the complete layout of Linzhi Temple. I believe the master has this picture here."

Master Zhiguang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I do have a complete map. Please wait for Commander Li, and I will get it now."

He got up and went into the room. After a moment, he took out a long scroll and carefully spread it on the couch. "This is a layout diagram of Linzhi Temple drawn ten years ago. Please let Commander Li take a look."

Li Zhen stood in front of the map, staring at the detailed layout map and the distribution of the underground palace with bright eyes. This is exactly the detailed map he hoped to get. He squatted down and pointed to a courtyard on the east side and said, "This should be Wei Tuaner's Guanyin Hall!"

"Commander Li is right, it's here!"

Li Zhen frowned slightly, "There is an underground palace under Guanyin Hall, why isn't it displayed on this map?"

Master Zhiguang apologized: "All the underground palace maps should be available, but I don't know why this Guanyin Hall underground palace is not displayed on the map."

Li Zhen looked at the map again and asked in confusion: "The underground palace feels like it is very messy. What is the reason?"

Master Zhiguang smiled bitterly and said, "Linzhi Temple was built during the Western Jin Dynasty. After the Yongjia Rebellion, the temple survived. In order to protect themselves, the monks began to dig underground palaces underground. It lasted for nearly forty years, making the underground palace below very complicated. I have been in the temple for 30 years and have never figured it out. The underground palace of Guanyin Hall is just a corner."

Li Zhen pondered for a while and asked again: "We found that outside Wei Tuaner's Guanyin Hall, Hanoi Lao Ni set up more than 20 White Horse Temple monks to protect him. Why do the master think this is the case?"

Master Zhiguang's face changed. Li Zhen asked too directly. How dare he get involved in such a thrilling internal struggle? He hurriedly stood up, lowered his eyes and said, "I can lend this map to Commander Li. If there is nothing else, I will do my homework."

Master Zhiguang was driving people, so Li Zhen stopped asking him more, slowly put away the map, bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your help from Master, I'm going to say goodbye."

Li Zhen quickly walked out of the yard and bowed to him again, "Master, please stay!"

Master Zhiguang's lips moved, and finally he couldn't help but whisper: "The underground palace is connected and connected, and many key entrances and exits are in some inconspicuous places. Commander Li can check it carefully."

Li Zhen understood what he meant and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you, Master, goodbye!"

He quickly walked out of the Zen temple, and more than a dozen subordinates followed him away from Baoguo Temple.

.........

Baoguo Temple is located in the southwest of Luoyang, about ten miles away from the city. This area is relatively remote, covered with large forests, and a winding official road leads directly to the Thick Pass Gate.

Li Zhen led a dozen subordinates to gallop on the official road. At this time, he suddenly stopped the war horse and looked vigilantly at the woods in front of the left. He seemed to have seen something.

At this time, Li Zhen shouted, "Beware of the arrow!"

He quickly leaned over the war horse, and saw more than twenty arrows shooting through the air, and several arrows hit his head and shot over. The three inner guard soldiers behind him could not dodge and were shot by cold arrows. They screamed and fell down the war horse.

Li Zhen was furious and quickly picked the bow and arrow. Three consecutive beaded arrows shot away like meteors. Three screams came from the woods, and three black shadows fell from the big tree.

At this time, nearly two hundred men in black rushed out from the woods in front and behind, and rushed towards the guards in the inner guards. The men in black had blocked their front and back official roads. On the left was a dense forest, and on the right was a ramp of more than ten feet.

If they do not break out of the encirclement in time, they will surely die in the narrow official road.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Zhen shouted loudly, "Run out with me!"

He put a longbow on his back, pulled out the inner guard's horizontal sword, clamped the horse with both legs, rushed forward quickly. More than a dozen subordinates behind him rescued a undead companion and followed Li Zhen to sprint.

Several arrows shot towards him, but were slashed away by Li Zhen's knife, and instantly rushed into the crowd in black who blocked him.

The official road was narrow and there were too many people who could not stand. Only more than twenty men in black were intercepting them in front, but more and more men in black ran out of the woods. They followed Li Zhen to run forward. Once the men in black formed multiple blockades, the inner guard warriors would be in danger.

Li Zhen roared and slashed the sword. The inner guard's horizontal sword was extremely sharp. He instantly slashed away his head, blood splashed out, and the strong war horse kicked several people. He rushed out four or five feet in one breath, and several subordinates behind him rushed into the men in black and slashed them randomly.

The men in black were wrapped in a headscarf, but with the horizontal knife slashing and the war horses collided, many of them scarfs slid down, revealing bald heads. The soldiers in the inner guards shouted in hatred, "It's a damn monk!"

Li Zhen did not say a word. Of course he knew that these were all monks sent by Xue Huaiyi. They did not dare to ambush like this on such a large scale in Luoyang City, but they seized the opportunity to go out of the city to Baoguo Temple.

Although it took Li Zhen only a short time to discover the enemy situation and rush into the enemy group, the situation had become very critical, and nearly a hundred monks from the White Horse Temple flocked to him.

Li Zhen killed five or six people in a row and broke through a bloody path. He rode his horse and ran for more than twenty steps in an instant, leaving the monk who blocked him behind him.

He turned around, but only six people followed behind him. An inner guard soldier was shot by a bow and arrow, hindering the breakout of the soldiers behind and allowing the monks to gather again. At this time, Lin Qinhu roared and rushed up with an iron rod. More than a dozen monks surrounded him. Lin Qinhu was red in his eyes and the iron rod flew around.

Li Zhen took down the bow and arrow without hesitation, turned around and shot quickly, and powerful wolf-toothed arrows shot at the monk like beads.

The first arrow shot through the head of a monk leader. He was thrusting his sword at Lin Qinhu's war horse. The long arrow shot into his temple and the tip of the arrow penetrated from the other ear.

The second arrow shot through a sneak attacker monk's neck. He covered his neck and fell heavily, without even screaming.

The third arrow...

Li Zhen pulled arrows from the quiver pot, put the arrows on the bow, and shot them quickly, like flowing clouds and water. In just a moment, fifteen arrows shot out like meteors rushing to the moon, arrows killed the enemy, and corpses were piled up.

The monks were frightened by Li Zhen's magic arrows and retreated one after another. The seven or eight inner guards behind seized the opportunity and rushed out of the siege in one breath.

Li Zhen turned his head and ran away, leading more than a dozen inner guard soldiers to run away gradually.

.........

Everyone returned to the Guanshanfang Office. Today is the second day of the first lunar month. The official yamen was the chief clerk Yang Xin on duty. He had just come to the office to take a look. Unexpectedly, when he encountered an ambush in the inner guard, many of the inner guard soldiers were injured, covered in blood, and even Li Zhen was covered in blood.

"What's going on?" Yang Xin rushed up, his voice changing in fear.

"Please ask the chief clerk to come over to us."

Li Zhen told him again: "Don't go out and make a statement about this."

Yang Xin nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran out. Everyone sat down in the lobby tiredly, tore open their clothes, cleaned their wounds with wine, and then wrapped them with wound medicine.

Soon, a doctor living nearby rushed over with two medicine boys and quickly treated several seriously injured soldiers.

Li Zhen was hit by a sword on his leg and cut a three-inch hole. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and the blood had solidified. He also washed the wound with wine slightly. The severe pain caused the muscles on his face to twitch. He also applied the wound medicine Di Yan gave him to the wound, and suddenly a cool feeling came.

Compared to the pain caused by the sword injury to him, the losses caused by this ambush made him angry and lost four inner guard soldiers. What puzzled him was how Xue Huaiyi knew that he had left the city to go to Baoguo Temple to arrange the ambush so accurately.

Of course, he couldn't let someone inside him inform him. After all, he went to Baoguo Temple to find Master Zhiguang last night. He didn't even tell Zhao Qiuniang that when he set off this morning, the dozen inner guard soldiers who followed him didn't know where they were going in advance?

Even if the monks from Baoguo Temple told Xue Huaiyi with a message from Fei Ge, they would not have time to come.

After thinking about it, Li Zhen felt that there was only one possibility. There was Xue Huaiyi's spy at the city gate, or his people in the army guarding the city. When they found that they had left the city, they immediately notified Xue Huaiyi, and Xue Huaiyi's monk was ambushing near the city gate. Only in this way did Xue Huaiyi have time to deploy an ambush.

At this time, a sound of ringing the penis came from outside the door, and several inner guard soldiers stood up one after another. Li Zhen turned around and saw more than a dozen palace maids surrounded Shangguan Wan'er and walked in quickly.
