Chapter 887 Yun'an Temple
On the second day after Yang Liushi, Xu Quan, and the "beautiful demon king" left Changliu Mountain with 100,000 demon beasts, the news of the coming beast tide finally reached Su Qi's ears.
And for the current situation in Linchuan City, such bad news is undoubtedly making things worse.
Yesterday morning, Wei Changtian caused a big disturbance in the government office, killed four people, and took away two people, directly strangling the "Anti-Wei Alliance" in the cradle.
After witnessing Wei Changtian's methods with their own eyes, most of the forces in Daqian dared not act rashly and each of them wanted to wait and see.
But they can wait, but Su Qi can't.
The original "ten-day period" was changed to "five days" by Wei Changtian yesterday.
According to Wei Changtian's original words, if he didn't see Jing Guoqing within five days, he would massacre the entire Linchuan City.
Now two days out of five have passed, leaving only three days.
In three days, even if Jing Guoqing set out from Beijing immediately, it would be impossible for him to reach Linchuan.
What's more, Su Qi couldn't find any reason to "trick" Jing Guoqing to come.
So, now it seems that he only has one last choice.
That is to rebel against Wei Changtian in order to save the lives of the people in Linchuan City. The powerful enemy is closing in step by step, and he is isolated and helpless.
Su Qi had no other way to go.
But even if this is the only way out, it is still difficult to take this step.
After all, this was treason against the emperor and the country, which was the behavior that he, as a person of integrity, despised the most.
And until half an hour ago, Su Qi still had a glimmer of expectation in his heart.
He reported everything truthfully to Jing Guoqing, hoping that the latter could step forward and turn the tide.
But just now, Jing Guoqing's reply completely extinguished this last hope.
[I will mobilize experts to go to Linchuan, but they cannot arrive within three days, so you need to delay for a while. ]
Mobilizing experts Su Qi was not stupid. When he received this secret letter, he knew that Jing Guoqing had given up Linchuan.
After all, if enough masters could be mobilized to fight against Wei Changtian, defending the capital would be much easier than defending Linchuan.
In fact, from Jing Guoqing's perspective, this choice is understandable.
Even the massacre of Linchuan City was a good thing for the Jing family.
Because in this way, the hatred towards Wei Changtian in Daqian will reach its peak, and Jing Guoqing can also use such public outrage to keep his throne.
But Su Qi is not Jing Guoqing. No matter how he tries to "put himself in other people's shoes", he can't just watch the people under his rule become victims of this chaos.
Just when his hopes were dashed and he was struggling with the decision of "oppose or not oppose", Wei Changtian "just in time" delivered the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Beast tide.
The Changliu Mountain, which had been peaceful all this time, suddenly erupted in a tide of beasts, and they headed straight for Linchuan City with a clear goal.
Su Qi knew very well that this was Wei Changtian's work.
In his opinion, this undoubtedly represented Wei Changtian's determination and ability to massacre the city.
The beast tide is coming, and if you want to resist it, you must have an army.
Although Linchuan City has a large number of city garrison troops, they may not be able to stop these ferocious beasts.
Unless the 200,000 Daqian surrendered soldiers outside the city also join the battle.
It’s just that these surrendered soldiers are nominally Daqian soldiers, but in fact they are controlled by the Tengu Army. If Su Qi wants to "borrow troops", he can only ask Wei Changtian for help.
And this means that he must rebel first.
Rebellion, borrowing troops, repelling the beast tide, and starting a rebellion Only now did Su Qi realize that everything was planned. Even Wei Changtian had already prepared his "chips" for rebellion, that is, the 200,000 surrendered soldiers.
Su Qi always felt that he had a choice, but now he realizes that his every move was always within Wei Changtian's calculations.
In fact, for him, being able to perform the play according to the "script" was already a good result.
What if Wei Changtian no longer needs him and lets the beasts attack the city? Slowly standing up, Su Qi's temples had a few strands of white hair.
He walked out of the room slowly, the golden morning sun fell on him, and even the fiery red morning glow seemed to become lonely.
Su Qi finally made up his mind, but he was destined not to see Wei Changtian today.
Because when he was heading towards Guanyue Inn, the latter had already arrived at Yun'an Temple and was looking at the huge plaque in amazement.
Although Yun'an Temple is not a big temple, the temple plaque is very magnificent. At least it is much larger than all the temples Wei Changtian has visited before.
And if nothing unexpected happens, this should be where the old beggar stayed.
Of course, this is just Wei Changtian's guess.
Although Qianli Yanbo’s “signal” disappeared here, it might just be a coincidence.
However, Wei Changtian still felt that people would subconsciously go to places they are familiar with in times of crisis, so he came here.
You have to try it after all.
“.”
I looked around. It was still early and there were not many pilgrims here. There were a few young monks sweeping the floor in the temple.
Because Wei Changtian had changed his appearance when he came, he was not afraid of being recognized easily. He walked directly into the temple and asked a little monk casually.
"Young Master, I wonder if your abbot is in the temple now?"
"Ah, benefactor, what do you want to talk to our abbot about?"
The young monk looked up and answered uncertainly, "I don't know if he is here. I need to go and ask."
"oh."
Wei Changtian nodded and made up a story: "My last name is Xiao. I made a fortune recently and felt uneasy, so I thought of donating some money to Yun'an Temple."
"Not much, about two or three thousand taels."
"W-what?"
Upon hearing Wei Changtian's words, the little monk's eyes widened instantly, and the broom in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
Obviously, for a young monk like him who had never seen much of the world, two or three thousand taels was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
And if such a distinguished guest wants to see the abbot, there is naturally no problem at all.
"Donor, please wait a moment. I will go ask the abbot if he is here!"
"Well, thank you for your help, little master."
“.”
Soon, the little monk ran away in a hurry, even forgetting to pick up the broom on the ground.
Wei Changtian watched his back running away, then turned his head to carefully observe the layout of Yun'an Temple.
It is not much different from ordinary temples. The place where I am standing now is the Heavenly King Hall which is closest to the temple gate after entering the temple.
The Hall of Heavenly Kings enshrines the Four Heavenly Kings: Dhritarashtra in the East, Virūdhaka in the South, Virūdhaka in the West, and Vaiśravaṇa in the North.
To put it simply, they are four ferocious-looking Buddhas.
It looks quite similar to the red evil Buddha that the old beggar saw last night . Wei Changtian pouted, thinking that it would take a while for the little monk to come back, so he walked into the Heavenly King Hall.
And just as he stepped through the temple door, the eyes of the four heavenly kings moved at the same time.
