No matter how clever Qu Changcheng is, how clever his calculations are, and how well-foreseen he is, he would never have thought of what happened in the capital at this very moment.

Because Emperor Longyu wanted to take advantage of Jing Qianjiang, he intentionally hid the news from him? Qu Changshou? On the contrary, he was almost strangled to death.

But no matter what, using Helian Yingdu's attack to cover up people's eyes and ears, on the one hand, blame him? On the other hand, on the other hand, he also successfully got rid of the "stalking and hunting" of other forces. Finally, he can do what he wants to do.

They told those subordinates before that their destination at this time was not to go to Nanrong, but to recapture Pufeng City, which was occupied by Western Qiang.

At present, Xiqiang occupies a total of two border cities of Ying State, which happen to be sandwiched between Song Taishi's army, and Pufeng City is one of them.

The whereabouts of Song Taishi and his eldest son Song Minglang are temporarily unknown.

If you can take back Pufeng City, then this triangular encirclement can be broken, and the Song family army can directly send troops to find and respond to Song Taishi and other people.

This is naturally a great achievement, but the question is, how can a city be so easy to grab?

What's more, Qu Chang negative only has 200 people in his hand.

If it wasn't for him who said these words? He looked very serious at the time, and he would definitely be considered crazy.

When Qu Changshou finished explaining the basic situation and goals, someone couldn't help but say, "Master, this...isn't it too difficult?"

Qu Chang took a long look at him: "Are you afraid of death?"

The man summoned up his courage and said, "I'm standing here, and I'm ready to die. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain."

Qu Chang said: "That's right. You don't want to die, and I don't want to, but if we go to Nanrong like this, there will be no cards for negotiation. There are two possible outcomes. "One is involved in the current split of the Nanrong? Disputes, and the other is handed over by the Nanrong to the Xiqiang. Only when the Kingdom of Ying is in the upper hand can we have a greater chance of success." ?."

Their gazes swept over everyone's faces one by one: "Although there are only 200 people, if the 200 people are not afraid of death and unite as one, I believe that they will always find the one who can break through the day." The way? Just like we always think that the Xiqiang people are fierce and good at fighting, this time we can also use them in reverse."

When they proposed to disclose their whereabouts to Helian Yingdu before, everyone was full of apprehension, but now all of them have successfully escaped from danger.

Therefore, no one said anything when Qu Chang negative mentioned it.

"I have led you on this road, and I will definitely do my best to ensure your safety."

Qu Changcheng smiled proudly, full of pride: "If you fail, you will surely die. If you succeed, there will be no more contempt and exclusion in your life. Those who want to see you die on the mission will witness all the glory with amazed eyes."

He pointed the horsewhip in his hand: "Pufeng City is just ahead, are you willing to give me a try?"

The Imperial Guards? Listen? With enthusiasm, they suddenly replied: "Yes!"

Xiao Wu and Xiao Duan stood behind Qu Chang negative and looked at each other.

Probably among the people present, besides Qu Changnegative, the two of them were the ones with the clearest minds.

His? The young master is really rare? He said so much painstakingly, but his idea was to fool people to rescue the Song family.

But when these words are spoken, there is really no room for people to reject them.

In the history of the Kingdom of Ying, even other countries should be counted together, and Qu Changshou can probably be regarded as the most disobedient envoy.

When he was sent out, everyone thought he was involuntary and was being used and framed, but now he is feigning death, changing his route, or even abducting to other battlefields to regain lost ground, which is really indulgent and free Too much.

The most frightening thing was that the guards under them seemed to have suddenly lost their ability to think independently, and they had no objections at all, and obediently followed behind them and acted together.

Naturally, Qu Changshou didn't plan to take these two hundred people to attack the city. Even if he is a master of war, each of these imperial guards has martial arts against the sky. I am afraid that this battle will be very difficult. Achieve? Victory.

Qu Changlu has already thought up another set of more devious and careful strategies.

Although Pufeng City had already been occupied by Xiqiang at this time, because of the arid climate, barren land, and convenient roads, it was always relying on merchants to provide daily necessities and develop the economy, so it was impossible for Xiqiang to completely Locked up? Measures.

Although there are strict controls on the carry-on items and the number of people entering the city, Pufeng City still allows people to enter and exit.

This is also one of the reasons why Qu Chang took a negative look at this city. They don't need much help, they just need a brain.

They have already learned that the current Xiqiang official left to guard Puyang City is named Che Chier, who is the younger brother of a favorite concubine of the Xiqiang Emperor. Love all kinds of exquisite things from the Central Plains.

Before they came here, they specially prepared a whole ten cars of rain silk satin.

At this time, after sending someone to find out about Che Chi'er's appearance, Qu Changcheng asked another craftsman to carve a half-person-high statue out of gold and diamond powder, and transport it into the city as a silk merchant. middle.

They only brought Xiaoduan Xiaowu and four other Imperial Guards from merchants. The seven of them did not bring any weapons, and asked to enter the city with forged road signs.

The Xiqiang soldiers guarding the city carefully searched their belongings, even the interlayers of their clothes. When they saw the golden statue, their eyes were straightened.

Qu Chang smiled and explained in Western Qiang dialect: "The villain wants to sell silk in this city, but because he came late and hasn't found a suitable buyer, he may need to hang around for a few more days. We specially built this I dedicate this golden statue to Mr. Che Chi'er, hoping to get some accommodation."

As they spoke, Xiao Duan asked Xiao Duan to bring out a bag of Ye Mingzhu, and each of them stuffed one.

The left and right emperors sent them out to die, and the money was given enough, not in vain.

He? Such a small? Businessman, how can he deserve to meet the city? The highest official?

But it's fine if it's an ordinary thing. This golden statue is really gorgeous and lifelike, and adults will like it just by looking at it.

The guards made up their minds, and then looked at Qu Zhangwen's paleness, which was absolutely not dangerous, so they reported this matter to Che Chi'er.

The description of the statue really aroused the other party's great interest. Even if Che Chi'er asked to meet Qu Changshou, he was only allowed to go.

Xiaoduan and others were very worried, but Qu Changsheng said, "It's a trivial matter. I'm afraid Che Chi'er is going to entertain me for dinner today. There are a lot of delicacies in Pufeng City. It's worth tasting. You guys use it yourself." Go eat."

The place where Che Chi'er lived was originally the official residence of the Kingdom of Ying in Pufeng City, but now it has all been transformed into the layout of the Western Qiang.

Qu Chang negative saw it in his eyes, but kept his face and entered with a smile on his face.

Four Xiqiang guards with knives in their hands surrounded Qu Changlong and led him to Che Chi'er.

Che Chi'er looked at him with great interest: "A businessman from Ying Kingdom?"

Qu Chang said: "Yes."

Che Chi'er said: "Since you are from the country of Ying, why did you give me such a precious gift? Don't you hate me for occupying your city?"

Qu Chang said: "Big man, merchants seek profits, which is the way of survival. I have been traveling all year round, and have traveled and lived in various places. Where did I live? It doesn't seem so important. I want it. What's more, the adults still allow us to buy and sell goods, and the place is not troubled by war, and my interests are not damaged, so I will not be dissatisfied."

Che Chi'er looked at him in surprise, and said, "Nowadays, there are really not many people as smart and sensible as you. Where have you been?"

He asked this question to test whether what Qu Chang negative said was true.

Then Che Chi'er discovered that Qu Changxiang was not only proficient in speaking Xiqiang dialect, but also knew some of the local dialects he didn't know. He also knew how to talk about exotic customs. Absolutely no way? Pretend.

Che Chi'er unknowingly forgot the original intention, listening to him? He was very fascinated by the scenery of various places, and completely dispelled his doubts.

He said: "Very good, Boss Le is really a funny and elegant person. I have accepted your gift. Come and prepare the banquet. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Boss Le tonight!"

Qu Chang said with a negative smile: "Actually, it's a great honor for you to accept my care. It's really flattering to even host a banquet."

Che Chi'er waved his hand and said, "It's just a meal, if you tell you to eat it, you can eat it, you don't need mother-in-law?"

Qu Chang said: "Then it's better to be respectful? Obedience."

As they spoke, people brought up the golden statue.

The entire hall was flashed by the light of gold and precious stones, and it was immediately filled with jewels.

Ying country is rich in products, while Nan Rong is rich in gold ore mines, but Xi Qiang is a barren grassland, which is why they? There? people are so tough?

These old hats who grew up eating soil? Have you ever seen such a gorgeous and expensive thing?

What's more, the craftsman Qu Changlu looked for was extraordinary, and he carved Che Chi'er's face so lifelike that it was so heroic that people burst into admiration.

The more Che Chi'er looked at it, the more he liked it, but he was afraid that someone would touch it randomly and remove the gorgeous stone powder on it.

He ordered: "Come here, move this statue to my room, and don't allow others to touch it."

Qu Chang negatively showed a slightly surprised look, but he didn't speak.

But Che Chi'er had already seen their expressions, and asked, "What's the matter, are you reluctant to give it?"

Qu Chang said: "You are joking. Originally, it was specially dedicated to you. How can you be reluctant to say that? It's just that according to our custom, the statue of the city guard should be placed outside. It is for the people to look up to, so I was a little surprised that some people said to put it away."

Che Chi'er said: "You said it was placed in the temple for people to burn incense? Isn't that the dead are enshrined?"

Qu Chang negatively smiled and said: "It is the ancestral hall that enshrines the dead heroes, usually to commemorate their "great" spirit, and the statue of the living person is placed there, which means that the common people will remember this Man's majesty and merit."

"Think about it, if these ignorant?people?are not allowed to see and pay homage every day, how will they?know who is the truly majestic?manager of this city?"

Others? That's all. Qu Chang's negative? The last sentence really touched Che Chi'er.

Generally speaking, if a place wants to invade and occupy other countries, it is not only to snatch that piece of territory in its hands, but more importantly, to win the hearts of the people.

People's morality should be infiltrated with culture and living customs. However, the Xiqiang language is simple, the ethnic history is short, and the population is not large. They simply do not have the ability to assimilate the Central Plains culture.

So no matter how hard we try, the common people still can't regard Che Chi'er as the real manager of this place from the bottom of their hearts, which makes Che Chi'er very headache.

After Qu Chang negative mentioned it, he suddenly felt that religious education is also a good idea.

If the common people pay homage to themselves every day, over time, they will always remember that the rulers of this city have been replaced by Xiqiang people.

Thinking of this, Che Chi'er was very excited. He patted Qu Chang's shoulder heavily, and said, "That's right, you kid? What you said makes sense!"

Qu Changshou staggered a bit when he was filmed by him, and Che Chi'er burst into laughter again: "You guys from the Central Plains, why are you all pussy? Chirping?!"

The people around burst into laughter, and Qu Zhang was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, he admitted with a smile, "I've been used to comfort since I was a child, so it's hard for me to stand up to the wind and rain. It really makes the grown-ups laugh."

Laugh, I won't be able to laugh for a few days anyway.

In fact, Qu Changshou did not lie. Even in the country of Ying, there would indeed be some officials who made great achievements. They built temples and asked the people to enshrine their sculptures and portraits.

But the sculpture is at best made of clay? The outside is coated with a layer of gold powder, but there is no such luxury?

If a sculpture made of pure gold is placed openly outside, it will probably be snatched up in less than a day.

Therefore, if Che Chi'er listened to what they said, he would look for a suitable place to place the statue. Then, the safest place is the Fengri Terrace in the city.

Fengri Terrace is located in the west of the city. It rises more than four feet high from the flat ground, and it is difficult to climb. It is impossible to transport heavy objects with less than ten people.

The statues placed on it can only be admired by the common people from a distance, but cannot be stolen. It is the safest and ideal place.

And Pufeng City is the center of Buddhism in Ying Kingdom, with many temples. The place on Fengri Terrace was originally a Maitreya Buddha. If Che Chier wanted to replace it with his own statue, he had to remove the Buddha statue.

——The length of the song is negative? That's it.

They buy and sell silk and satin every day, and they talk about business with the shops in the city in a serious manner. They seem to be very leisurely, and they treat them like businessmen with great interest.

After a few days, I heard that Che Chi'er really did as he said, which aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and they all complained that the barbarians of the Western Qiang Dynasty did not respect the Buddha and would be punished.

But these complaints, they? They? They are just talking about it in private.

The rule of the Xiqiang people did not make too much change to the living order of the people in the city, so no one was willing to stand up and fight fiercely.

The golden statue was placed on Fengri Terrace? That night, Qu Changlu called Xiao Wu and Xiao Duan, and said, "You two, think of a way? Avoid the guards, go to Fengri Terrace, and send the car I smashed that statue."

Xiao Duan: "..."

Xiao Wu let out an "ah" and couldn't help saying, "Master, that one is very expensive!"

Who accepted Qu Chang's loss? The benefit can be said to be unlucky, because after the joy is over, there is always a bigger "bad luck" waiting.

Qu Chang said: "After smashing it, you can pick some gold nuggets and precious stones from it. If you can take any of them with you, they will all be yours."

Xiao Wu: "...Yes, thank you, Young Master."

Qu Changcheng took out another portrait: "After smashing it, remember? Hang this portrait up, and light two sticks of incense in front. Remember, it must be hung upright and respectful. When people see it, they will be happy." I think it’s the work of people who sincerely believe in Buddha.”

Xiao Duan took a look at the portrait, and found that the painting on it was actually the Maitreya Buddha that had been transported away.

He came to understand: "The young master wants to provoke a conflict between Buddhism and Xiqiang thieves?"

Qu Chang said: "The power of faith is the most powerful. Buddhism advocates compassion and saves all living beings. You can't just shrink to one side in the face of national disasters and take care of yourself alone."

He showed a very beautiful smile, but inexplicably chilled the back: "Among the several famous big temples here, there are not a few monks, but they are too bloodless. For their combat effectiveness ,I am looking forward."

After placing the statue on the Fengri Terrace, before Che Chi'er had time to have a dream of being reverently admired by the common people, he received a shocking news early the next morning.

——That valuable? Statue was destroyed.

Che Chi'er went to Fengri Terrace in person, and saw that the ground was in a mess, and even the "nose" and "obsidian" eyeballs on the statue's face had been gouged out, it was a horrible sight.

On the contrary, on the original altar, a portrait of Maitreya Buddha hangs there quietly, and incense is still offered in front of it.

The health guard in charge of guarding Fengri Terrace was afraid of being punished, so he quickly led Che Chi'er to transfer his anger to other places: "My lord, the thief who came this time is really vicious and cunning, and even smashed the statue into this They? They must be dissatisfied with you for removing the Buddha statue, so they came here to take revenge! "

Che Chi'er kicked him to the ground: "Isn't it you? This bunch of trash is not good for guarding!"

He said angrily: "Cha, give me a list of all those who believe in Buddhism and those who know martial arts in this city, and ask them where they were last night! I must... Kill this person alive!"

As he said that, he glanced at "myself" who was lying on the ground miserably, with broken arms and legs. Look, walk away.

It's a pity that the other party's work is very clean. This time's investigation did not allow them to find the saboteurs, so the officials could only arrest a bunch of suspicious-looking people to deal with.

In this way, Che Chier realized a very serious problem.

That is, there are too many people in this city who believe in Buddha.

No wonder the common people have not treated the Xiqiang people with reverence and fear. Today, these unscrupulous people can move away the Buddha statue and smash their statue for their sake. Then tomorrow, can they be there? Someone from the Buddhist family called to rise up?

There is no belief that can override the authority of the ruler!

Coupled with the instigation of several subordinates who had received Qu Zhang's negative money, Che Chi'er decided to take tough measures.

They ordered that among the arrested suspects, ordinary people can pay for ransom, and all bald monks should be killed.

In this way, it can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

The Xiqiang people were originally foreign invaders, and they were disgusting and repulsive enough. Because they did not massacre the city before, so although there were many dissatisfaction, the "backlash" was not big, and the two sides can still say that they are at peace. nothing.

Now Che Chi'er wants to kill monks to gain prestige, but he doesn't know that these monks basically have official monks and sects. They don't care about world affairs on weekdays, but they can't take the initiative to provoke them.

On the day of the beheading demonstration, a group of bald men with sticks came and robbed the court.

Qu Changsheng also went to see the excitement that day, and saw the scene was in a mess, and the people ran away one after another, so he stood under a tree and watched from a distance.

"It's really interesting." Qu Chang negative said.

Xiao Duan was also very surprised: "I didn't expect these monks' real kung fu to be so powerful. That set of sticks should be the authentic Shaolin sticks? If the Xiqiang people attacked the city? Let's gather together to resist, I'm afraid the other side won't be able to take down Pufeng City so easily."

Qu Chang said: "That's right, that's why I said, it's interesting. Many people like to stand by and watch when a crisis comes, and they don't realize that they should resist until the whip hits them. It takes a hundred times, a thousand times more effort, this is the so-called short-sightedness."

Qu Zhang told Xiao Wu: "Go out of the city some time, contact the people we left outside, and tell them that all of them have shaved their heads and burnt their scars. Starting tomorrow, every day Screaming and harassing outside the city, whatever is unpleasant, the best thing is to scold Che Chi'er."

Xiao Wu: "...OK."

Although this kind of mood shouldn't arise, he still feels that Che Chi'er is a bit pitiful.

In this way, for several days, when the monks resisted and scolded, Che Chi'er became more and more enraged, and sent troops to kill them.

But these people are highly skilled in martial arts and have no fixed base, so it is difficult for them to catch them. When they come and go, the people in the city complain a lot, and chaos has arisen.

Qu Chang's original plan was that the muddy water in the city had already been mixed up, and in these days, they had already obtained the car by relying on the gold and silver in their hands and their eloquence. Chi'er has a great affection.

The next step is to find a way to contact the Song family army on the periphery and let them cooperate with him from the inside and the outside to attack the city.

As a result, before they could do anything, just as Qu Changlu was about to rest that day, an officer from Xiqiang rushed into the inn room where he was temporarily staying.

"Mr. Le, please get up and follow me to see the adults!"

The official said loudly: "Someone is coming to attack the city, and the master asked you to go to the city wall with him to have a look!"

Although the businessman surnamed Le in front of him is from the country of Ying and looks like a crooked and useless? There are a lot of "customs and customs" about Ying country, and even terrain and military tactics.

Seeing Qu Chang's responsibility is very important? Che Chi'er's trust, and the officials don't dare to neglect.

This news made Qu Chang negative a little bit surprised, and the Song family army hadn't come to fight at this time? Who would come when the timing was right?

He put on his clothes in a hurry and got up, came to the city wall, saluted Che Chi'er, and looked down.

In the waning night, a team came swiftly. The sound of horseshoes, iron armor, and strong wind blowing flags was getting closer and closer, and it was about to reach the city gate in a blink of an eye.

The light of thousands of armor and weapons was like a flame, burning everyone's eyes. The leader, who was wearing a silver-white armor, looked up with a solemn face and looked up.

Qu Chang supported the city wall with his hands behind his back and looked down, showing a rare look of astonishment.

The smoke and fire in front of him soared into the sky, clearly reflecting the eyebrows of the people on and off the city.

At such a time, Jing Qianjiang who appeared here simply made the whole world illusory.
