Chapter 503: Suppressing the White Lotus

Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, although the ancient capitals of the Thirteen Dynasties are no longer the center of the entire empire, its style as the center of politics and economic focus for thousands of years has been retained, and there are still the prosperous market and endless crowds. Dongshi, which was famous throughout the world during the Tang Dynasty, was even more lively and crowded.

Among the many shops in the East City, the cloth and silk shop called Lijia Old Store is not eye-catching. This is exactly what Li Pushi and others hope. In this city center where people are constantly crowded, it is the place that the government pays the least attention to.

It is May 20th. Every ten days, many people from the White Lotus Sect send their own news from other places, and the local church members in Xi'an will come to see the leader with various excuses and listen to his next arrangements. Today is of course no exception. After noon, several merchants dressed in the house in the second half of the Li family's old shop and met the leader Li Pushi. However, this time, the leader Li's expression was not as relaxed as before, but frowned.

After reporting on their recent situations, someone asked carefully: "I don't know what the leader is upset. If his subordinates can do it, we will definitely share the worries for the leader."

Wang Daoqian, who was beside Li Pushi, looked at the leader and found that he had no intention of hiding it, so he replied to the leader: "It's not the case in Zhejiang. The two elders Hou and Ge have not yet sent any news. The leader is worried that they have encountered something unexpected, so he feels unhappy. I wonder if you have ever had any situation there?"

"This..." After a few people looked at each other, they said: "I have heard that something seemed to have happened in Zhejiang, but the result is unknown. Could it be..."

"If the two elders, Hou and Ge, had any mistakes, were lost in the hands of the government, and they asked about the whereabouts of the leader, they were afraid that we would be in danger here. The leader, according to the subordinates' opinion, we should avoid it for the time being." Another suggestion was made.

When Li Pushi heard what they said, he was even more worried. He didn't know that it would be dangerous to stay here now, but he also knew that he was now affecting his whole body. Once he moved here, the entire White Lotus Sect would change drastically, and even attract attacks from some people. So he didn't want to leave this place without any necessity. "Wait a minute, elders Ge, the loyalty of the Holy Sect, will not betray it even if something really happened."

"But I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of it..." Someone said worriedly. Just when this was said, a man suddenly broke into the room where everyone was secretly discussing. Those people tightened their voices until they saw that it was the young master Li Yan that they let go of their hands from their weapons. Seeing their son suddenly breaking in, Li Pushi frowned: "Why are you here suddenly? Is there anything important?"

"Master, the situation is not good, we have to evacuate here quickly!" Before we could greet everyone, Li Yan hurriedly said: "I heard that the matter in Zhejiang has failed, so we asked the people in the Xi'an government office to pay attention. Just now, someone heard that the governor would take action, and I'm afraid it would be a bad thing for us."

"What? Is your news reliable?" Li Pushi stood up from his seat unconsciously when he heard this.

"Master, why don't you tell me about such a big thing in Zhejiang? If I hadn't known this situation from other people in the church, I'd be afraid I'd still be in the dark." Li Yan said with complaint. During this period, he was not by Li Pushi's side, but more of a wandering around, looking for opportunities that were beneficial to the White Lotus Sect. It was not until he heard about Zhejiang that he rushed back and activated the people below to explore the news.

Li Yan's wisdom is very famous in the White Lotus Sect. Even the elders have to respect him. Now when they hear him say this, others think that this place is unsafe.

Li Pushi looked serious and believed his son very much. Now he said so, and there was information from the inside line in Xi'an Prefecture, which made him even more worried that someone would be cracked. After hesitating for a while, Li Pushi had to say: "Since the situation is really bad, we will leave here temporarily. It is not too late to come back after the wind has passed."

At the command of the leader, the people hurriedly took action. They knew that once the leader and the main hall were transferred, they would inevitably move with them, but they didn't know where to live this time.

Just when they started to move, the east market had become quiet. The buyers and sellers in the originally crowded market had been controlled by teams of officers and soldiers, and the Li family's old shop was empty. Several men wearing various official uniforms and full of authority came to the Li family's old house under the protection of the soldiers. The first official with a deep face was Yu Youzhen, the governor of Shaanxi.

Yu Youzhen was in a very bad mood. There was actually the White Lotus Sect's main hall under his nose. It was only after the emperor's imperial edict was issued to him to eliminate these traitors. This made the head constitution of this province very angry. After receiving the imperial edict yesterday, he called some local officials in Xi'an to curse him overnight, and then ordered people to invite officers and soldiers from the nearest garrison in Xi'an to arrange today's encirclement and suppression plan.

The imperial edict mentioned that the tenth, twenty and thirty of each month are the tenth, twenty and thirty of each month when some important figures of the White Lotus Sect came to see the leader waiting for the instructions. Today is May 20th. Of course, Yu Youzhen would not miss this great opportunity to capture all the forces of the White Lotus Sect in Xi'an, so while mobilizing people, he sent people to secretly monitor the Li family's old moves.

It was not until a while after noon that noon noon that no one came to the Li family's old store. At this time, Yu Youzhen, who received the news, ordered people to quickly surround the entire Li family's old store. Seeing that it had been surrounded by thousands of people on the three floors of Mali, it was impossible to escape the wind and rain, Yu Youzhen ordered: "Attack!"

The officers and soldiers were impatient to make this great contribution. When they heard the adults' orders, they rushed up without saying a word. More than ten people who were in the lead rushed in from the half-closed shop door. The White Lotus Sect, who knew that the situation was not good, had only time to shout and were surrounded by the more than ten people and fought. With one against ten, he was not a master, and he was chopped to the ground by the officers and soldiers in a few seconds. Without a moment of stay, the officers and soldiers continued to kill the man's body.

"Kill..." There was a shout of killing outside, and the faces of the White Lotus Sect inside changed. They didn't expect that the government's actions were so fast. It was impossible to steal it at this time, so it was only possible to force a breakthrough. These people immediately held the weapons they hid in their hands and broke out with the leader Li Pushi as the center. Of course, they would not go straight to the gate, because they knew that it was where Chen Zhongbing of the government, and their purpose was to escape from the siege.

But when they rushed out of the room and came to the courtyard, they saw the fastest-rushing officers and soldiers of the garrison. Although the officers and soldiers of the garrison here were not as good as those elite soldiers in Liaodong, they still had excellent combat power due to the strong folk customs of the Three Qins. On the way, they wanted to block them, all of them were killed, and they did not waste much time. Now that they saw such a large group of people appearing in front of them, these officers and soldiers immediately guessed that their identities were extraordinary. They were eager to make contributions and immediately shouted and rushed forward.

Seeing that the header he had just established was broken by the government again, Li Pushi was also angry. Now that he was entangled, he simply killed and let out a sigh of anger. With this idea, he no longer showed mercy in his hands. Before the officers and soldiers rushed to everyone, Li Pushi had already come to them in a flash. With a wave of his hands, the two officers and soldiers in front were beaten to death by him. The two men were already dead in the air.

Seeing that the enemy was so fierce, the pace of the officers and soldiers was slowing down, but it was too late at this time. Li Pushi shouted loudly, and the man had already rushed into the middle of the officers and soldiers like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. When he started to fall, one of them fell to the ground and died, and no one under his command could resist his move. Inspired by the leader of the sect, a group of experts in the White Lotus Sect were also showing their power. Although officers and soldiers kept coming in, they still had an absolute advantage. In a short while, fifty people fell to the hands of more than ten people.

Seeing that the enemy was so powerful, the morale was immediately frustrated. The people behind did not dare to rush up again, but surrounded the White Lotus Sect and waited far away to prevent them from taking the opportunity to escape.

Although the officers and soldiers were repelled for the first attack, the deaths of these people were still valuable, and Li Pushi and others were unable to leave. Under the leadership of Li Pushi, these White Lotus Sect masters wanted to rush to the courtyard wall several times, but they were all blocked by the officers and soldiers' doors. The officers and soldiers all knew that only by surrounding them here could they control them. If someone turned outside, the possibility of these people getting out was much greater.

In fact, if Li Pushi was alone, no matter how many officers and soldiers there were, he would not be able to stop him. However, with these people around him, he could not do his best. Long spears swayed in front of them, just waiting for them to assassinate him if they were negligent, which made everyone in the White Lotus Sect very passive.

"No, although we can still support it now, once the officers and soldiers outside call the archer, we will find it difficult to resist. Master, we have to think of a way." Li Yan saw that the officers and soldiers on the other side were determined to delay and said worriedly.
