Fu Jian only slowly opened his eyes when he felt the jolting of the carriages and horses completely stopped.

The curtain was lifted rudely, Yao Xing leaned over, and looked at the desperate emperor with a sneer: "Heavenly King has raised the god all the way, is he energetic now?"

Fu Jian stretched his legs and got out of the car. His hands were bound and his clothes were torn, but he still calmly said: "Call Yao Chang to come out and see me."

At that time, Yao Chang had already established himself as the King of Later Qin and changed his name to Baique, but Fu Jian called him the same as before, like a servant and a slave, extremely contemptuous.Yao Xing gritted his teeth secretly, and was about to scold him, but Yao Song, who had been hiding behind others and could not say a word, hurriedly stepped forward and gently pulled his sleeve, shaking his head slightly.

Fu Jian walked forward unhurriedly, and the crowd hurriedly followed closely behind.As soon as he entered the courtyard, Fu Jian stopped and looked up, his posture did not look like a prisoner at all.

"Xinping Buddhist Temple." He sighed softly and stepped forward.This Buddhist temple was built by Yu Xinping himself in the prosperous Jianyuan period. In order to promote Buddhism, he even invited Master Dao'an from the south of the Yangtze River to set up Taoism in Xixi. up.

In the main hall, a golden Buddha statue sits high on the lotus platform, holding flowers and smiling, still with beautiful eyes and kind eyebrows, regardless of whether it has changed to another world.Fu Jian suddenly raised his robe and knelt down, bowed to the Buddha, knelt and clasped his palms together, chanting words in his mouth like no one else was there.Yao Xing was proficient in Buddhism, so he could tell at this moment that he was reciting the Mantra of Rebirth (Note 1), and couldn't help frowning, thinking that Fu Jian was crazy, and he still had the heart to recite sutras at this moment.Yao Song thought for a while, and said softly: "He is saving the souls of the dead who killed more than ten thousand soldiers in Xinping for my father's pit a few months ago."

With a solemn face, Fu Jian knelt down and recited the mantra for a long time, and no one disturbed him, until he murmured the whole part of the rebirth mantra, and then recited sincerely: "If you are loyal and spirited, come to this court. Return to your late father, don't take the shape of a monster." Suddenly there was a soft laugh from behind.

Fu Jian opened his eyes without looking back, only the solemn Buddha image was in his pupils.

Yao Chang, the lord of the Later Qin Dynasty, had arrived at the main hall at some point, facing the slightly hunched back of his former master, he called out softly and quickly: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King has always been a hero, why is he still being held by others today?

Fu Jian didn't raise his head: "Time is fate, and it has nothing to do with you."

Yao Chang retreated from the crowd, stood still behind him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I have been in love with Your Majesty for 20 years, and I dare not forget it. If Your Majesty grants me the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, you will be spared today's death. How about sending troops to escort Your Majesty through Xinping City and return west to Longxi Liangzhou?"

Fu Jian got up slowly and turned around, with his tightly bound hands hanging in front of him, he glared at this old servant who had pretended to be a loyal and good general for more than ten years for a long time, then suddenly shouted violently, and categorically reprimanded: "Little Qiang dares to bully the Son of Heaven! Wuhu order, without your Qiang's name, I have sent the jade seal to Jin, and I can't get it anymore! If you kill me, I would like to ask for a quick knife!"

Yao Xing led the Houqin officials back to the outside of the temple. Not long after, he saw Yao Chang push the door out with a livid face, and got into the car without leaving the ground. .After Yao Xing sent it off, he frowned: "Could it be that the father can't force Fu Jian to hand over the jade seal?!" Then he sneered and said: "With the temperament of the father, I am afraid that Fu Jian will not live long!"

Yao Song also knew that his father was used to being ruthless and merciless, so he was afraid that Yao Song would kill Fu Jian immediately in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, I must dissuade my father—if I want to take the world with righteousness, I must not kill the old master. Even if you don’t get the jade seal, you have to force Fu Jian to give up the ceremony, so that you can justifiably inherit the throne and get rid of the name of the grass-headed emperor!”

Yao Xing thought for a while, but he still snorted and said, "Fu Jian's stinky and tough temper, will he give in easily?"

Yao Song said slowly: "Trap him in Xinping Buddhist Temple for a long time, imprisoning him every day-I don't believe that Fu Jian is really determined to die if the ants are still stealing their lives-if he can be persuaded to give up, the elder brother will make great contributions, then it will be true The Empress Qin Crown Prince is now in power!"

Fu Jian was captured by Yao Jun at Wujiang Mountain, and when the news of his detention at Xinping Buddhist Temple reached Ren Zhen's ears, he was still practicing guns in the martial arts arena of Weiyang Palace. He was wearing only a pair of blue trouser folds except for his armor, and his naked upper body was covered with oil and sweat, dripping down the veins of his muscles—after the celebration banquet, everyone thought that Murong Chong When it was time to temporarily indulge and have fun, he suddenly ran to the martial arts field day and night for no reason to "practice martial arts guns". He really hurt the emperor with all his strength, and he couldn't just let the snake deal with it, otherwise he would be shot and scolded, no one knew why Murong Chong got so angry all of a sudden.

The handle of Ren Zhen's gun fell to the ground, and he looked at Yan Bing, who dared not show his breath, his breathing was disordered, his chest heaved, and his voice was low and terrifying: "Has Fu Jian been captured alive by Yao Chang?"

Gao Gai knelt down and said, "That's right! A spy lurking in Xinping came to report that Yao Qin wanted the Jade Seal from Fu Jian's hands." Before Ren Zhen could speak, he saw Yang Ding coming at a fast pace not far away.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Ding's eyes were red, and he knelt down beside Gao Gai with a plop, "The Heavenly King is in trouble, I can't just sit and watch! The Emperor has said beforehand that although I am temporarily living in Chang'an, the Heavenly King is in trouble now, please let me go out of the city!"

Ren Zhen looked down at him: "Are you going to Xinping alone? Are you preparing for the savior or surrendering?!"

Yang Ding was startled: "Your Majesty!"

Ren Zhen suddenly threw the spear in his hand over: "Fight with me, I win, you stay obediently and don't die; if you win, I will not only let you leave the city, but also lend you 3000 troops to rescue Fu Jian!"

Yang Ding took advantage of the situation, looked at Murong Chong's expression, and stopped talking, stood up and stabbed with his spear.Since Ren Zhen came to this era, he has never neglected his martial arts skills, and his ancestral Murong marksmanship has become more and more superb. Although Yang Ding is proud of his bravery, he also knows that there is no guarantee of victory in a hundred moves.Who would have thought that Murong Chong used the spear this time in a totally disorganized manner, without using any single move or style of Murong's spear technique, he swung ten moves with briskness, and suddenly his right hand loosened, the spear rested on the ground, he spread his hands slightly wide open like this Putting himself under the net of Yang Ding's gun.

Yang Ding was startled, and hurriedly retracted the gun, but with too much force, the tip of the gun still drew a shallow bloodstain on Ren Zhen's shoulder with the gust of wind.

"Your Majesty!" All the officers and men on the scene exclaimed in unison.

Ren Zhen raised his hand to silence everyone's voices. He wiped away the blood from the wound nonchalantly, put on his outer robe, and the muscular lines of his body were smooth and graceful without being exaggerated or tangled.He looked up at Yang Ding, and said flatly: "You won. I keep my word, not only to borrow troops from you to save Qin, but also to - the imperial conquest!"

There was an explosion in Weiyang Palace, and all the generals and civil servants wished they had ten brains to think what was wrong with Murong Chong and wanted to rescue this old enemy himself, Murong Heng even wished he could open a hundred mouths to dissuade him: "Your Majesty Fu Jian is my Murong family's blood feud, and more than a thousand Xianbei nobles, including the first emperor, were killed by him when we surrounded Chang'an! You hate this person the most in your life, if he hadn't been fled to Wuhu that day! If Jiangshan falls into our hands, he will also be hacked into pieces!"

"National Teacher" Zhang Jia was naturally also afraid of saving Fu Jian, so he used the excuse of heaven to persuade Murong Chong not to bring disaster on himself, but only to perish.Ren Zhen left the throne and walked up to the steps, sarcastically sarcastically saying: "I heard that the Immortal Elder persuaded Fu Jian to go west to Wujiang Mountain to escape the catastrophe, so he not only failed to make a comeback, but fell into the old days. In the hands of the traitor Yao Chang?"

Zhang Jia had been prepared for a long time, and argued plausibly: "The old Taoist once said the phrase 'the emperor's five generals will grow for a long time', but he never said that Fu Jian can live and work in peace. It means "Yao Chang"——Yao, the same as "yao", which means long-term meaning; long is "Chang". It is precisely the prediction of his end today, what's wrong?"

Ren Zhen couldn't help being stunned, and he couldn't utter a single rebuttal at this point—if he was a talent for sophistry and blame, this old way is really worthy of reaching the peak and reaching the fairyland.

Everyone also seized this opportunity, surrounded Ren Zhen in the court, and tried to persuade him.Ren Zhen had a sullen face and was just listening with a blank expression. He was so noisy that he suddenly lifted his pants and sat down on the imperial steps, with one leg bent by his side, looking up at the circle above his head in a rascally manner. He sneered and said, "I am the emperor, and what I say is the imperial decree. If you are dissatisfied, you can take my place!" Duan Sui and Han Yan couldn't help but fell silent.

At this time, Yang, who had already been blinded by countless eyes in the Yan army, was ordered out of the squad: "The emperor's body is precious, and you should not let it go lightly. If you are willing to borrow three thousand soldiers, Yang will dare to show you kindness." Ren Zhen looked up slightly Standing up, supporting himself with one hand, he turned his head and said loudly: "Don't fart. I am not here for you!" Yang Ding got a sting in his throat, and his ears burned - although he was rough, he could also feel that After the night passed, Murong Chong seemed to be different suddenly - he changed his words and deeds in the past, deliberately bold and unrestrained, wild and outspoken, he was completely different from the old Lord of Yan Kingdom.

At this point, everyone backed away resentfully, only one person took a few steps forward instead, and when the crowd dispersed, he was the only one in the huge proclamation hall, and then slowly knelt down on one knee in front of Ren Zhen.

Ren Zhen looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said carelessly: "Shang Shuling still wants to persuade him?"

Murong Yong lowered his head, his voice was dry: "Your Majesty...Think twice, don't go on a personal expedition just because of a momentary arrogance."

"Oh? What is a moment of anger?" Ren Zhen wondered, "I just captured Chang'an to quell the civil strife. What is the anger?"

Murong Yong took a breath: "That night in Chengming Palace, I—" Ren Zhen waved his hand: "Which night? I only remember that I recruited a servant girl to sleep in Chengming Palace. Kill people!"

Murong Yong's chest rose and fell violently. After holding back for a moment, he suddenly leaned over and hugged Ren Zhen's shoulders, and said in a trembling voice, "Ren Zhen...listen to my explanation..."

Ren Zhen didn't resist, and lowered his head against his shoulder, with a mocking arc slowly drawn from the corner of his lips: "Shang Shuling, don't scream, it's a crime of beheading." Murong Yong hugged him even tighter. In the bosom: "I'm drunk, you know I've always had a bad drinker, I'm lying, don't take 3000 people to Xinping with that stupid guy Yang Ding just to get angry with me, Yao Chang got off that step The sky and the earth are heavily guarded, how can you go to die?! It’s still for Fu Jian! Even if he has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand, it’s not worth the risk for you! Your deep hatred for him can’t be exchanged for even ten jade seals!”

Ren Zhen interrupted his flustered words, and sneered, "Big hatred? That's Murong Chong, not mine! He was raped by Fu Qiang like a woman, and Yi Bian Erchai was a child prostitute for three years. That's him." He asked for it! Now that I think about it, what Fu Shen said is right! What does he hate? Even if he sold his body, he would have sold himself for the price of an immortal——Which of your Murong family didn’t get promoted because of this?!”

"Shut up!" His reckless words made Murong Yong let go of his hand suddenly as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. He was like a trapped beast with Youdou wounded, panting and staring angrily at the once very familiar face in front of him, with his right hand around his body. The side can't help but clenched into a fist.

"Why? Distressed?" Ren Zhen's heart sank again. If he hadn't considered each other's identities, he might have punched Murong Chong's substitute who dared to insult Murong Chong.Substitute, yes... Even with this current identity, it is also the body left behind by Murong Chong!To trap his soul for life, imprison him completely and even devour him step by step—Murong Yong is the only person in this era who knows the truth, and he was once the only one he relied on in his heart. Zhen, he should also be thinking of Ren Zhen!But he was wrong.Deep down in Murong Yong's heart, he has always hidden his unspeakable feelings for Murong Chong who rescued him from Chang'an, taught him marksmanship, and led him to revolt!For this reason, he can just helplessly indulge him to follow his way of thinking until he is completely assimilated into Murong Chong!

After a moment of stalemate, Murong Yong suddenly lowered his head and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to conquest in person! Everything in Chang'an has just been settled, and Murong Chuihu is sitting in the remote official website of Yecheng. If you make a mistake, the dragons of Xiyan will be leaderless and disperse immediately! If the Emperor insists If you send troops, I dare not live!"

Heh, his Minister's order is "deadly admonishing" him.Forced to die, let him continue to follow the rules and follow his script to complete other people's lives step by step—Ren Zhen stared at his hairpin: "You were injured by Yao Xing Dou Chong that day, are you really so injured that you can't go back to Efang? But you can ask the deputy general to strip off your armor and even the jade pendant, and send Li Daitao, another corpse of similar stature, back to Efang—you entered Chang’an, and you used retreat as advance and death to provoke you, in fact, it was for me to expel Yao Song myself, Immediately attack the city after completely breaking with Hou Qin! Isn’t it?! Great move, Murong Yong, keep silent, let me follow you step by step willingly, without hesitation!”

Ren Zhen's stern words did not make Murong Yong feel agitated. He touched his forehead to the ground and refused to raise his head. He just repeated heavily: "Your Majesty, you cannot conquer by yourself!"

Ren Zhen saw that he made such a statement, what else did he not understand?At the beginning when Murong Yong picked him up and promoted him to the top position, he did not expect that this strange puppet would have his own ideas, not only collecting food and garrisoning the army, suspending the siege of the city, but even getting involved with Yao Song who was in the hidden army with ulterior motives Unclear.This is completely different from his original blueprint!He wanted him to follow Murong Chong's established plan—that's why he used his unwarranted death to urge him to send [-] soldiers to attack Chang'an, and even expelled Yao Song to break with the Hou Qin—it was killing two birds with one stone!Some time ago, he played hard to get away, so that he satiated his appetite and made him think about him, and it was all for this reason—to capture Chang'an as soon as possible outside, and to be in love with him inside, this is his life. What I want is that no one will be allowed to get involved in the destruction!

Ren Zhen stood up on his knees, patted away the dust in his palm, then took out a piece from the skirt of his clothes, and lightly smashed it in front of Murong Yong.

"Then you don't want to live anymore, because I have made up my mind. It's just that if you and I die, Dayan will immediately fall apart—" Ren Zhen's icy voice was without a trace of emotion, "How can you treat this country, this family? Murong Chong who was entrusted to you? You will die with shame, and have no face to see your 'Brother Chong' under the nine springs!"

Every word and every word of Ren Zhen was like plucking out the heart and bone, and Murong was in pain forever. He slowly touched the jade plaque that Ren Zhen discarded like a shoe, and tremblingly felt the deep and shallow marks of the pits, which were His name, he carved it for him by himself, I wish him a safe life.Murong Yong swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva, and tried his best to make the water in his eyes disappear invisible - he knew that he had unintentionally destroyed the most beautiful thing between them.

It turns out that everything in the past is just a mirror image.He smiled at him and treated him well, but he was in the mist, searching hard for the trace of that person who had disappeared.

Ren Zhen didn't look at him again, the hem of the dragon robe was flowing smoothly across the clear bluestone brick surface, he stepped out of the Xuanshi Hall, raised his head and said: "Sending troops to Xinping to rescue Fu Jian is not out of anger. I am not Murong Chong, nor You can also compete in the Central Plains to rule the world!"

Note 1: The rebirth mantra comes from "Buddhist countries in the ten directions are all pure lands. If you practice the Pure Land method, you can be reborn in any Buddhist country." It is one of the ten small mantras that must be practiced in the Pure Land School.But at that time Buddhism was just emerging and had not yet become popular. Master Huineng, the first ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, was the same age as Fu Jian. It is possible to know the "Curse of Rebirth" at this time, and here it is right.
