Chapter 241 Yuan Tiangang escapes from trouble

In the dead of night, Hanguang Temple was completely silent, and all the monks were soundly asleep.

Master Jingkong deliberately walked around to the guest rooms of Di Renjie, Zhao Ji and others to check and make sure that all the candles in the rooms were extinguished before he felt relieved.

Following behind him were Fahua, Fayan and Facheng.

"Captain, is the news accurate? Can we go back after today?" Fahua followed closely and asked in a low voice, his tone full of expectation.

Jingkong raised his lips to a sly smile: "Yes, it's almost time, His Majesty instructed before leaving the temple to send that man away tonight, then you and I can both be free!"

Fayan then mentioned another matter on his mind: "So, did the higher-ups not blame you for Fa Neng's incident?"

Jingkong smiled calmly, not caring at all: "As long as we don't let anything slip, the higher-ups won't find out about the problem. Once we send that guy away, no one will care about this anymore!"

The four of them quietly arrived at the side door of Hanguang Temple, waiting for the arrival of Huang Shengyan and his guards.

Not long after, Huang Shengyan finally arrived. There were about a hundred people in his group, guarding an iron carriage in the middle.

He dismounted, bowed, and said with a smile: "Master Wu, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as elegant as ever!"

When Jingkong heard the word "Wu", a complicated expression flashed through his eyes and he waved his hand: "Alas, let's not talk about the past anymore. Ten years have passed, and now there is only Jingkong."

Huang Shengyan laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Brother Wu, please don't say that. The Inner Guard has been through a lot these years and is waiting for a pillar of talent like you to return!"

Jingkong didn't want to say much, and went straight to the point: "Let's stop talking nonsense, let's complete your majesty's task first."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyan took out a red fruit gold talisman from his bosom and held it up: "Here is the certificate! His Majesty ordered me to remove the prisoner!"

Jingkong confirmed it and nodded: "This is the red fruit gold talisman that the emperor ordered to imprison this person."

"Okay, then please ask Brother Wu to wake up all the monks and gather them in the monk's room to make it easier for Huang to act!" said Huang Shengyan.

Hearing this, Jingkong shook his head and said, "No, Nei Shi Di Gong and the two Qianniu Guards are in the temple, we can't disturb them. Besides, waking up all the monks would be like announcing to the world that there is a ghost in Hanguang Temple. How can we do this?"

Huang Shengyan's face became serious, and he put his hand on his sword: "What do you think, Brother Yiwu?"

Jingkong lowered his voice and said, "I have arranged for Di Renjie and the others to stay in the back garden. You can take a few people in from the side hall and bring the people out. No one will know about it. Why mobilize so many troops?"

Huang Shengyan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay! Let's do it."

So Jingkong took Huang Shengyan forward, followed by an iron prison van.

They arrived at a side hall in the temple. Jingkong opened the mechanism, and several people opened the door one by one with keys.

The key of Fa Neng fell into the hands of Master Jingkong.

Huang Shengyan didn't understand what was going on and thought that Jingkong alone held two keys, so he didn't suspect anything.

Moving forward, the group arrived in front of Yuan Tiangang's dungeon.

In the dungeon, the diligent Yuan Tiangang was still calculating non-stop, writing and drawing with the pen in his hand, and the table was piled with manuscript paper.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Yuan Tiangang slowly put down his pen and said with a smile: "Is it my time to die?"

Huang Shengyan stepped into the dungeon, his tone full of unquestionable majesty: "In compliance with His Majesty's order, please move elsewhere."

Yuan Tiangang's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, but he immediately regained his composure and said, "Moving?"

"Brother Huang, there's no need to say more, just get started." Jingkong said from the side.

Huang Shengyan nodded: "That's true!" As he said that, he clapped his hands three times lightly to give a signal.

As soon as the signal was given, several well-trained guards quickly entered the dungeon, their movements coordinated and efficient.

One person quickly covered Yuan Tiangang's eyes with a black cloth, while the other person accurately put a noose around his neck and pulled it gently. The noose tightened instantly, ensuring that Yuan Tiangang had no way to resist.

Huang Shengyan nodded again, and the guards immediately worked together to help Yuan Tiangang stand up steadily.

At this moment, the sound of wheels rolling came from outside the dungeon, and two guards pushed a special wheelchair in.

The guards quickly and orderly placed Yuan Tiangang in a wheelchair, and carefully secured his hands, arms, legs and feet in the iron handcuffs of the wheelchair to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Huang Shengyan waved his hand gently, and the guards pushed the wheelchair. The wheels made a steady and powerful sound on the ground, and they moved quickly outside.

Jingkong signaled to Fahua and the other two with his eyes: "Go and pack your things."

Fahua and the other two walked into the cell and picked up Yuan Tiangang's manuscript paper, while Jingkong followed Huang Shengyan out.

"Brother Huang, have a safe journey!" Before leaving, Jingkong bowed to Huang Shengyan and wished him a happy journey.

Huang Shengyan whispered, "His Majesty has ordered you to clean up all traces in the temple. Leave nothing behind."

Jingkong seemed to have expected this and smiled: "Don't worry."
-
The next morning, Di Renjie, Zhao Ji and others woke up and nothing seemed to have happened, everything was normal.

However, Jingkong's slightly tired eyes with dark circles inadvertently revealed that he tossed and turned last night. It seemed that he did not get enough rest, but his emotions seemed very excited.

Zhao Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yuan Tiangang had finally escaped.

"Master Jingkong, didn't you get a good rest last night?" Li Yuanfang asked naively.

Jingkong rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes. There were some twists and turns in welcoming the emperor yesterday, and I have some important matters to deal with."

The abbot was talking to Di Renjie. When he heard what Jingkong said, he sighed and said, "Amitabha!"

Di Renjie's eyes moved between the abbot and Master Jingkong, but finally turned into a barely perceptible smile, and he said nothing more.

Jingkong personally watched Di Renjie and others go down the mountain, smiled, and turned back to the temple.

However, Di Renjie and Zhao Ji and others stopped walking for only a moment. Di Renjie said to Li Yuanfang with a serious look: "Yuanfang, you should return to Hanguang Temple as soon as possible and observe Jingkong in secret to see if you can find anything unusual!"

Li Yuanfang nodded, handed the horse to Ruyan, and turned back to Hanguang Temple.

Di Renjie, Zhao Ji, Ruyan and their party rode their horses and galloped towards the sacred city of Luoyang.

Several people rode their horses along the way. Along the way, Zhao Ji's eyes happened to sweep across two deep ruts on the mountain road, and he was completely relieved.

The iron cart that was used to escort Yuan Tiangang should be quite heavy...

Sure enough, not long after they started walking, Di Renjie and Ruyan were stunned by the scene before them.

On the mountain road of Mangshan, the bodies of the internal guards were scattered all over the place, about a hundred of them, covering this originally quiet road.

Huang Shengyan, the leader of the Internal Guard Bureau, was leaning against the mountain wall. There was a long cut on his throat and the blood had already coagulated.

The iron prison van lay alone beside the mountain road. The interior was empty and Yuan Tiangang had already escaped.
