Chapter 916 The most painful thing in the world is thinking too much

"Why is that so?"

Li Ji was startled by the number Yun Chu said.

"There's no way. The world and the earth have the same power. It's not free to transport heroes. Fat Jiu randomly picked two eyes and ears from Xu Jingye. When Xu Jingye was strong and strong, their spies were terrified. The people in the team have been mixing for a long time, and there will be one or two more companions.

When Xu Jingye had nothing to snatch in Tuyuhun, the team was not so united. In addition, the relatives sent by Yinggong were damaged too much when Xu Jingye started to fight, and the two eyes and ears arranged by Fei Jiu were I can often get some compensation from Zhang Jianzhi, live a prosperous life, and gradually gain some followers.

Xu Jingye had no choice but to reuse these people who could get supplies. In addition, my request for these people was to "just lie dormant, not to use, wait for the critical moment, and see miraculous results." Therefore, it seems that they are better than Xu Jingye before. Those whom he trusted had to be loyal, so all the other generals and guards around Xu Jingye were replaced by them.

The news I got recently is that they have controlled the team of only 86 people left, and [-] of them have sneaked into Datang quietly with Xu Jingye. Now, they are pretending to be a businessman from the Western Region The team is heading for Chang'an.

In 20 days, it will be time to leave Xiaoguan Road. "

Li Jidao: "Are you planning to kill Xu Jingye?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Back in Ganzhou, I really wanted to kill him. After he jumped off the cliff and escaped, I put out my desire to kill him. The main reason was that killing him was too unfair to Duke Ying. ”

Li Ji lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why you handed all these people over to me is because you found that the people who were not infected by you were sent by me, right?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "The spies said that the people under Xu Jingye's command have now split into two distinct camps, and they tried to win over those people, but they found nothing. The person who can stick to Xu Jingye's side should be Yinggong's talent.

However, it's very interesting. Between you and me, there are still some people who are not compatible with each other. Their will is also unwavering. I used to think that these were some people who were really loyal to Xu Jingye. As a result, Zhang Jianzhi After probing, I think it is not. These people are not from Baiqisi, but they must be the queen's people.

This time, those unreliable people brought Xu Jingye into the Tang Dynasty, so I thought Xu Jingye had secretly taken refuge in the queen. "

"Why not Your Majesty?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "His Majesty is not that wretched. He has been very bold in doing things in the past few years."

Li Ji sighed and said: "After more than ten years of hard work, Xu Jingye has not managed to win over even one person who belongs to him..."

Yun Chu said: "This is actually our fault. We should not have placed people around him, causing him to think that everyone is loyal and voluntarily following him."

Li Ji looked up at the sky sadly, and said slowly after a long while: "At the beginning, the old man should be more ruthless when hunting, and set off more fire, otherwise, how could he be ashamed today."

Yun Chu said: "He was terrified by Tubo's Lun Qinling. When the wind was going smoothly, he was tough and invincible. When he encountered a little obstacle, he had no enterprising spirit. This kind of self-conquerment is difficult, and he has no repeated defeats. Those who are determined to fight are destined not to be on the stage."

Li Ji quickly calmed down and said to Yun Chu: "He has betrayed me and joined the queen's family. Now I want to know what she should be afraid of when I am a dying person, let alone me." Be kind to the Queen."

Yun Chu said: "The centipede insect is dead but not stiff, the colorful tiger is still alive even though it is dead. Who dares to look down on a person like Ying Gong, even if he is already old?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "You're right, give me those people you don't like."

"Does Li Chengxiu know about this?"

"I just found out last night. I'm currently riding a carriage with Li Si and the others. I heard that they haven't spoken a word for a day."

Li Ji stopped his horse and said to Yun Chu, "I want to tell him the other half of Xu Jingye's story..."

Yun Chu smiled slightly and threw out a bronze token. Li Ji caught it with his tentative hand, took a look at it, and put it into his arms.

The army was advancing unhurriedly on the fields. It must be said that the environment in the Tang Dynasty was really good. White clouds hung low on the green carpet-like plains, and some hills in the distance rolled up and down like giant whales on the sea.

Some villages are located on this huge green blanket. The smoke from the kitchen smoke curls up, and is pressed down by the wind, slowly covering the entire village. It is really beautiful.

Because the army was coming, the people naturally ran away long ago. Only some brave ones stood on the undulating hills, peering at this huge team like marmots standing upright.

After the ranger carrying the flag rushed over, the shrinking people disappeared.

Li Zhi also saw this scene, and said to Wu Mei: "I am their emperor."

Wu Mei said: "They are afraid of the army."

Li Zhi sighed and said, "It can be seen from this that soldiers are the source of disaster in their eyes."

Wu Mei said: "I heard that when Liu Bei left Xinye, the people followed closely with the help of the old and the young, and the soldiers and horses under his command were strictly disciplined and made no mistakes. Why couldn't the Tang army do the same?"

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "When the soldiers left the country, they became a group of people who made a living by military exploits. Everyone hopes to have a good harvest, just like a farmer who is in a hurry to harvest the wheat, so he will cut off the grain. All the wild grass has been cut down."

Wu Mei said: "Why does Your Majesty want to see the East China Sea?"

Li Zhi said: "I just want to see the sea."

Wu Mei said: "Don't you have any intention of seeking immortality?"

After pondering for a long time, Li Zhi said, "Just take a look."

Wu Mei then said to Aunt Chun: "Go and ask Master Xuanzang to come over and speak to Your Majesty."

Aunt Chun got off the carriage, took a light two-wheeled carriage, and went to the rear of the team.

When she passed by the front line of the rear army and saw Yunchu, her heart beat loudly involuntarily. She wanted to lower her head and hide away, but she couldn't avoid it, so she had to pretend to be a clay Buddha with a red face.

Gentle pushed Yun Chu with her hand and said, "A Chun is here to see you."

Yun Chu looked at Aunt Chun, whose ears were red, and said naturally: "What's the matter with the Erotic Palace people coming to the army?"

The groom who was driving the carriage stopped the carriage, Madam Chun looked up at Yunchu and said, "I am ordered to ask Master Xuanzang to give a lecture to His Majesty."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "The last time Meng Gongren gave beef jerky, Yun couldn't return it, so he could only give the palace man a small crossbow for self-defense. I hope the palace man will not dislike it."

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from the horse bag and handed it to Aunt Chun on the carriage.

When Mother Chun took over the short crossbow, she casually cupped her hands and rode her horse to chase Wen Rou.

Mother Chun opened the cloth bag and found that inside was an oiled paper bag not much bigger than a palm. Opening the oiled paper bag again, she saw a hand crossbow as small as a child's toy. This hand crossbow was made of all steel. Even crossbow strings are also braided with thin steel wires.

Aunt Chun is no stranger to hand crossbows. There are three in her bedroom from big to small. The largest one is a military standard long crossbow, and the smallest one is also a small hand crossbow. However, Yun The steel hand crossbow given to her at first looked blue in color, more sophisticated and sharper.

There were only three crossbow arrows in the oil paper bag. They were no longer than nine inches long. They were made of unknown materials. They were lighter than steel and heavier than ordinary crossbow arrows.

Three shots from one crossbow should be used for emergency self-defense when encountering danger.

So, Mother Chun studied the hand crossbow all the way, and she didn't put down the small crossbow in her hand until she brought Master Xuanzang back to Emperor Luanjia.

Not long after Master Xuanzang entered, the queen came out. The first time she saw Aunt Chun, she noticed that her sleeves were bulging again.

Thinking that this fool would meet Yun Chu, and thinking that Yun Chu had given Aunt Chun some food, he put his hand into Aunt Chun's sleeve angrily, and then pulled out a delicate hand crossbow.

"Where are the crossbow arrows?" Wu Mei asked.

Sister Chun carefully took out three crossbow arrows from under the cushion of the carriage, and handed them to Wu Mei.

Wu Mei just glanced at it and pulled the crossbow string skillfully. After the three crossbow strings were loaded, she loaded the three crossbow arrows one after another, then held the steel crossbow with one hand and aimed around.

Finally, she ordered a shield bearer to insert the protective shield into the ground as a target for her shooting.

"Duo duo duo", the three crossbow arrows landed on the giant shield accurately, Wu Mei walked over to take a look, and found that the steel crossbow was more than half an inch into the shield.

Then he fiddled with the steel crossbow arm with his long nails and said, "This is a sharp weapon that takes people's lives."

Aunt Chun immediately said: "I met Lord Lantian and he rewarded this slave."

Wu Mei sneered and said: "They gave it to me, I just used your hand."

Although Aunt Chun was reluctant to give up, she still said with a smile on her face: "I see, I just thought that he was showing his kindness for nothing. There must be something embarrassing that I want to tell the Queen."

Wu Mei pinched Mother Chun's face and said, "Does your heart hurt?"

Sister Chun firmly shook her head in denial.

Wu Mei weighed the steel crossbow and said, "I know that you are the one who can hold the crossbow in this palace. It seems that Yun Chu knows a lot about the affairs in the palace."

Aunt Chun immediately said: "I never said that."

Wu Mei said: "I know it's not you."

"Then, who could that be?"

Wu Mei sighed and said: "Of course it is your Highness the Crown Prince, with him here, there is no secret to Yun Chu in this palace."

Mother Chun suddenly realized, and immediately said: "Don't let His Royal Highness know too much in the future, why would he talk nonsense?"

Wu Meidao didn't say a word for a long time.

When Master Xuanzang came down from the Luanjia, he saw the Queen looking at him, so he put his hands together with a smile and said, "It is said in the "Great Treasure Accumulation Sutra" that it is like a person in a forest of thorns, if he does not move, he will not be stabbed. The bliss of perpetual extinction. Only when the mind moves for a while, will it be stabbed by all beings. Therefore, it is said in the scriptures: If you have the mind, you will suffer, but if you don’t have the mind, you will be happy.”

Wu Mei clasped her hands together and said: "Zen Master, is there really a technique of immortality?"

Xuanzang smiled and said: "The six paths of reincarnation are endless, isn't it enough?"
