Luoshui Dongliu

The officers and men guarding the city had made up their minds at this moment, but the papers were picked up by the people in the city, causing panic throughout the city.In just a few days, there was still no movement from the enemy army outside. The rumors among the people had already made up the plans of the Xiyan army after they broke the city;

The monk of Baima Temple saw that not only the monks were not interested in Buddhist affairs, but also put aside their daily chores, he couldn't help being unhappy and said: "Are you going to become a Buddha?"

The deacon monk at the bottom persuaded: "In this situation, brother, why are you doing this seriously?"

Hearing this, the monk became even angrier and said: "What's the situation? If the senior masters were like you when Luo City suffered from war, the temple would have been demolished long ago." Seeing his anger, the monks didn't dare to refute. The monk saw everyone bowing their heads, but his expression was clearly dissatisfied, and he even reprimanded: "There has been a slight change, and you have forgotten all the cultivation methods in the past..."

He wanted to say more, but he heard a light cough, and it turned out that the old host had already stood behind him.Seeing this, the monks rushed to salute and then dispersed. The abbot saw that everyone had left, Fang said calmly: "You are so anxious, maybe it is because your heart is in chaos and you have forgotten your past practice, that's all."

The monk was stunned for a moment, then sighed suddenly: "In this monastery, the benefactor who came here to devote himself is the most able to practice meditation."

The abbot glanced at him and said, "What about him?"

The monk said: "I heard that he was asking about the city affairs of his younger brother who was treating his wounds. He was not surprised when he heard the current situation. He just copied scriptures and sat in meditation every day."

The abbot didn't say yes or no, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You and I make a little preparation, I will go to see General Zhao first, and then go out of the city to see Mr. Pei."

The monk exclaimed "Huh?" and said, "This..."

The abbot Youyou said: "The most peaceful person in your eyes is actually...unusual..."

In the afternoon of this day, the clouds in the sky tended to gather, and all the people in the Xiyan army looked at the sky and whispered: "It can be seen that it is going to rain!"

Fan Yi was in Pei Yu's tent at this time, only lowered his head to check the calculations. Li Ji came in from the outside and was about to speak, but Pei Yu stopped him by raising his hand.After a long time, Fan Yifang raised his head and said in a low voice: "I have checked repeatedly, and there is absolutely no mistake. The supervising army is just waiting for this rain."

Li Ji said from the side: "From the outside, it looks like it will rain in a blink of an eye."

Fan Yi was still sullen and didn't answer.Li Ji knew that he was always like this, so he didn't mind, he just looked at Pei Yu.Pei Yu asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Ji smiled and said, "General Min Yu came to see Mr.

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows, but said to Fan Yi, "It's been hard work for you these days."

Fan Yi raised his eyes to look at Li Ji, and heard Pei Yu talking to him, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't dare." After a pause, he said, "Then... I will take my leave."

Li Ji said from the side, "I'll send him to join the army." After that, he led Fan Yi out, and when he lifted the curtain at the door of the tent, it was Min Yu standing outside.Li Ji invited Fan Yi to come out, but he still held the curtain with his hand. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure inside the tent, presumably Pei Yu had left his seat, and couldn't help smiling at Min Yu, "General, please."

Min Yu entered the tent, but when he looked up, he saw Pei Yu standing in the center of the tent. Seeing him coming in, he only asked, "Have you rested for ten days?"

Min Yu was slightly embarrassed, and said politely, "I'm being lazy."

Pei Yu said, "Ten days is not long." Then he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Min Yu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's just...see if you have an order, sir."

Pei Yu said lightly: "From now on, you don't have to come to me all the time if you have nothing to do." Seeing that Min Yu was puzzled, he suddenly smiled, "There will always be a day in the future when you wish to get rid of me, so why bother with it now."

Min Yu didn't know how he said such words, and said anxiously: "Sir, I..."

Seeing that his face was flushed, Pei Yu didn't seem to know how to explain it, so he said, "You must know about the Grand Master. I am in a situation where it will be difficult for me to be well received in the future. Why do you still want to come near me now? "

He is cold by nature, but he doesn't seem to realize that these words hurt others.But the meaning here is clear enough, so he waved him away after he finished speaking, but suddenly Li Ji came in from the outside again, and was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.Pei Yu said, "What's the matter?"

Li Ji looked at him slightly and said, "It's the abbot of the White Horse Temple in the city asking for an audience."

This incident caused Pei Yu to wonder, "What are you doing?" After pondering for a moment, he said, "Then please." When Li Ji went out, he turned around and saw Min Yu still standing still, and finally sighed silently for a moment. , said, "This mage has profound morality, let's meet together."

The host came into the tent and saw that Pei Yu was facing him, with a young general standing behind him, and there were no guards in the tent.Saluting from both sides, they sat opposite each other in front of the case.

Pei Yu laughed and said, "What is the mage going to Longhua Mountain to send?"

The abbot said: "If my husband agrees with what I'm asking today, then the bones of the scripture can be brought back."

Pei Yu said, "Oh?"

The abbot said sternly: "Sir, you sent news about entering the city a few days ago, do you want to talk about diverting Luoshui to irrigate the city?"

Pei Yu didn't turn his eyes for a moment, and only said: "Yes."

The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Sir, please take the livelihood of the people into consideration, don't do that."

Li Ji and Min Yu were all surprised, but Pei Yu was not surprised when he heard the words, he just smiled slightly and said, "I think Zhao Shen is someone, and it's just mere fact that he can be tough to the end. He's just a good boy, but the mage is willing to do it for him." Lobbyist?"

The abbot said: "It has nothing to do with General Zhao."

Pei Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this, and smiled after a while: "Master, instead of persuading me, you might as well persuade Zhao Shen to surrender." Before the abbot could answer, he said coldly, "Could it be that the master thought he was Zhang Mengtan? ? He wants to be Zhao Xiangzi, but I am not Zhi Boyao."

The abbot didn't change his face, and said: "The way of water and fire hurts the hearts of heaven and earth. If you can't win Luocheng in the end, sir, why bother to bear the life debt of so many innocent people at this time; What's the use of getting this dead city?" Pausing for a while, he said again, "Besides, Mr. is a person who has the karma of Buddha."

Pei Yu chuckled suddenly, and said, "In the eyes of the mage, when did I bear good fruits? I'm afraid it's an irony to say that I believe in Buddhism at this time."

The abbot sighed and said: "Mr. is seeking health and health for others, but at the same time he wants to kill. How can he get what he wants?"

Pei Yu's eyes froze, and his words showed murderous intent, "Who told you that I was seeking health and health for others?"

The abbot smiled and said: "No one." Then he said, "Mr. is on official business in the tent, but he has been holding a rosary in his hand. When he looked carefully, he saw injuries on his fingers; on the case were the Medicine Master's Sutra, cinnabar and two sets of pens. Inkstone; I think it's blood pricking and copying the scriptures, but what can you ask for by copying the pharmacist's scriptures?" Seeing that Pei Yu was silent, he persuaded in a long voice, "Since you are so devout, why don't you make it convenient for others, and also for your own convenience. "

Pei Yu remained silent, got up and walked to the tent door, the wind outside the tent became louder, and the curtain was blown, almost blowing his face.When the curtain rises and falls, it reveals the dark clouds in the sky.Everyone in the room was silent for a long time, but Pei Yuman's voice was heard: "Master, it's going to be a heavy thunderstorm today."

On this day, there was a sudden torrential rain in Los Angeles, where the weather was sunny in the morning.After only one hour, the bamboo pole used to measure rainfall was submerged by more than half an inch.Afterwards, the rain became weaker, but it didn't stop until night when the lamps were turned on, and the patter of rain could still be heard outside the tent.

Just now, a guard came in to report the daytime battle damage.After Tushan changed hands, Yu Chiyuan sent someone to demolish the bunker abandoned by the defenders in the city. The tunnel connecting the bunker connected to the city. The Xiyan army wanted to find out the exit of the tunnel, and even more wanted to enter the city.Unexpectedly, a large urn was buried beside the exit in the city, and if someone moved in the tunnel, the patrolling defenders in the city could hear it through the sound transmission of the large urn.The Xiyan army in the tunnel went all the way in, but was suddenly attacked when it was almost at the end.The defensive defenders poured smoke into the tunnel, so that no one could stay inside.The tunnel was dark again, and the Chinese and Western Yan troops trampled on each other in a panic, injuring more than ten people.

Yu Chiyuan had put all his hopes on filling the city with the embankment, so he didn't pay much attention to it.It's just that Pei Yu had explained earlier about sending people into the tunnel.If he was frustrated at this time, he would naturally report to him.

The soldiers who reported the situation wanted to leave, but Pei Yu stopped him and asked, "What's the situation in the tunnel?"

The soldier said: "It's just a tunnel, nothing special."

Pei Yu said, "What about the others?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "No more."

Pei Yu pondered for a moment, but still said: "If you think about it carefully, what else is there?"

The soldier thought for a long time, and said: "If there is something, the tunnel is very narrow, barely allowing two people to pass side by side. If you encounter a half-collapsed one, you can only pass by one person. Think about it, even if you don't notice it today, think about it." It’s not easy to enter the city through here.”

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a collapse in the tunnel?"

The soldier said: "There are not many. The tunnel has been supported by wooden frames, and the roof of the tunnel is still stable."

When Pei Yu heard the words, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."

The soldier didn't know why he agreed. He was puzzled, and he listened to Pei Yu's order: "You go in again tonight, and do nothing else. You have to touch the end of the tunnel into the city wall and destroy the wooden frame there. .”

The soldier was even more puzzled when he heard this. He thought that he would be driven out by the wolves after just walking around in the daytime. If he still made trouble inside, he might lose his life somehow; Dare to refute.Pei Yu also saw his embarrassment, and said: "I don't care how you accomplish this, but whether or not this is accomplished is related to the difficulty of attacking the city; if it is accomplished, it is a great achievement, no matter how rewarding it is." Make it; if it can't be done," said after a short pause, "then there is no need to come back."

The soldier swallowed saliva in shock, he just said yes and left for a while.But he saw that Li Ji had already brought the bamboo knife.Pei Yu was sitting in front of the desk in the tent, holding a bamboo knife, he cut open his finger, only to see dark red blood dripping into the cup.Li Ji fiddled with the cinnabar, poured blood into the inkstone, and then retreated.Pei Yu picked up the pen and paper, as if there was never another Min Yu nearby.Min Yu saw the bright red color smeared in the ink-black inkstone, and there seemed to be a strange light, dipped the tip of the pen and landed on the paper, and suddenly felt a faint churning in his heart.He didn't dare to make mistakes, just lowered his head and said nothing.

He had just escorted the abbot of the White Horse Temple to Luocheng, and he wanted to come back and report to his husband, but Pei Yu stopped him.He sat silently at the side, thinking about the day's events in his heart, and he didn't know how long it had passed, when he heard Li Ji come in again and gently put away the things on the case, even a piece of paper he had written.Only then did Min Yu come back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Pei Yu taking a white scarf and covering his bloody knuckles. His eyes pierced, and he couldn't help but say, "Sir..."

Pei Yu saw that he was frowning slightly, and said, "You think I'm doing this just for fun."

Min Yu straightened his body slightly, and said, "Sir, I sincerely prayed for the Grand Master."

When Pei Yu saw him, the king was talking about him, he stopped entanglement, got up and walked to the tent door, and said in a long voice, "Look at this rainy day, you know that the sky will also kill Zhao Shen."

Min Yu got up and followed behind him. He was already depressed, but he felt even more emotional when he heard this, so he couldn't help but sighed slightly.Only Pei Yu asked: "Did you send the abbot back to the city just now?"

Min Yu said, "Yes."

Pei Yu turned to look at him for a moment, then sneered, "What are you doing under the city again?"

When Min Yu was questioned, he turned his head down and said, "I had a few words with General Zhao on the top of the wall."

Pei Yu closed his eyes, put his hand on his forehead, opened his eyes for a while and said, "But you don't have much memory at all? How many times has this happened?"

Min Yu saw that there was anger between his brows, but he didn't dare to defend himself.After a while I heard Pei Yu sneer: "How did he fall for you this time?"

Min Yu whispered: "Sir, don't blame me for being reckless, but I always feel..."

Pei Yu stopped him, walked back, and said with a sneer, "I knew what you were thinking a long time ago. But do you think Zhao Shen is the one who is willing to bow his head and surrender? If not, there is no need to waste effort in the future. It's just ridiculous. No matter how strong his cavalry is, he would rather hand it over to Gao, or destroy himself in his hands and refuse to use it for me, but he is so stubborn."

Min Yu said: "Actually, Zhao Shen is not completely without weakness." Seeing Pei Yu looking at him, he said again, "It is true that nobles in life and death don't catch his eye, but if Mr. can take care of his followers, he may not be tempted."

Pei Yu said: "That's strange. If he surrenders, that group will naturally be preserved. Why should I count it here?"

Min Yu said softly: "But Zhao Shen may not think so."

Pei Yu couldn't help moving his fingers. He lifted up the white scarf that wrapped his hands. Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, a thin scar on his finger was slightly red. He paused and said, "Yes, but I forgot, his father What I did back then." After thinking for a while, he said, "It's hard for you to put so much effort into it."

Min Yu said in a low voice: "I don't have any selfish intentions in persuading Mr. Zhao Shen to surrender—if I say I have selfish intentions, it means that I respect him in my own heart."

Pei Yu smiled when he heard this, and said: "Why do you need to envy him?" At that time his expression turned pale, but he suddenly said: "I sincerely asked the abbot to stay outside the city, but he decided to go back. Forget it, he reprimanded me for killing, then I will bear this reputation."

Min Yu said: "Mr. is doing great things, and there is always a last resort."

Pei Yu's face remained calm, and he said: "I have no other choice, and I don't need anyone to explain it. It's just for you, why don't you speak more clearly. If the grand master recovers from his illness, that's all. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be my last It’s a handwriting, but your journey in the future is still long, so you have to worry about it. The entanglement of your words this day may have brushed me off, but it’s not necessary. As for anyone who wants to make trouble, feel free, I don’t care. Mind." Seeing the change of color on Min Yu's face, he smiled again, "That's the way it is, why don't you say it out of taboo?" Then he sighed slightly, and said: "I haven't taught you anything, so I dare not ruin your future."

After all he said, he felt a little regretful in his heart.He was conceited throughout his life and vowed to pass on what he had learned throughout his life.Although he admired and defended Min Yu a lot, but in fact he didn't have time to teach him anything. Instead, it was the person who gave him careful guidance before——Pei Yu suddenly had a quiet face flashing in front of him, and after a while, he finally smiled.He said again: "Go to General Yuchi's place early tomorrow morning, and wait for the news from the tunnel, and then you can start to move. If the city is flooded, it will be chaotic. General Yuchi will lead the subsequent battle arrangements, and he will give you orders to do it. .I don’t have anything for you to do here.”
