Survival countdown

Ji Damu already held grudges, and Meng Tianzong didn't want to be retaliated by the opportunity, so he hurriedly set off to visit Ji Keshan, telling the whole story of the little nun's case and his speculation.

Ji Keshan was dressed in normal clothes, and the hem of his clothes was wet with dew, as if he had just returned from outside.

"You said that a nun who swore not to return to secular life can be redeemed?"

What Zhao Baiyu cared more about than Jinglue envoy was indeed related to Buddha.

Meng Tian swallowed his saliva, and responded more cautiously: "There are indeed precedents to follow, and it is reasonable to say that there is no problem. However, it is absurd for Emperor Wu of Liang to become a monk, and it is absurd for the former imperial concubine to become a monk and redeem it." If the chiefs of the Tibetan clan deny it, they can argue it back cleverly, order the nun to separate from her lover, and then punish him."

Ji Keshan clapped his palms and laughed: "Hey, it's really a good thing, why make things difficult for lovers? Tracing back to the origin, Buddhism in the Central Plains is the ancestor of our Buddhist Buddhism, so if they can redeem monks, we can naturally. Ha, hahaha... Interesting, why didn't I know the allusion that Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk four times and redeemed four times? Why didn't I remember the matter of the former imperial concubine? Those romantic affairs of heroes and beauties should be praised That's right!"

Meng Tian was dumbfounded.

This reaction is not right.

Everyone in the Northwest knows that Keshan worships Buddha the most, even his niece became a nun and even built a nunnery for her. Why did he praise the redemption of nuns?

Forget it, it's a good thing if you don't get angry and don't pursue it, and if you don't kill anyone.

"But the imperial court sent an envoy, the well-known Qingtian, to come to Jingyuan Road. There was no other reason than to suspect the Tianduzhai battle. Could it be that the tricks in that battle were leaked and reported by someone with a heart? "

Speaking of the Tiandu Village battle, Meng Tianzong especially regretted his original decision.

The Tianduzhai battle report came, it was not that Meng Tianzong didn't deploy troops to support him, it was just that his command was wrong.

At that time, he thought that Tiandu Village was about to be captured, so he might as well go to Ning'an Village to ambush him, but he listened to Tuoba Mingzhu's request for surrender and peace talks.

Because Daxia often invades the border on a small scale, it ends up taking advantage of the peace talks to get some benefits, which is essentially an act of fighting against the wind.

If it is not too much, the imperial court will agree to it, and take the opportunity to buy fine-bred Daxia horses.

Meng Tianzong thought that this time he was still here to fight the autumn wind, so he agreed to peace talks, but the generals who stayed to guard Ning'an Village at that time were bloody, not only refused, but also fought bloody battles, until the Daxia soldiers broke through Ning'an Village and went straight to Jingzhou, Only then did he know that the other party had come prepared, and it wasn't just a small fight.

Afterwards it was the main battle, but Ji Keshan thought that there were not enough troops in the city, and the two battles between Daxia's soldiers and horses Jingtiandu and Ning'an were just when the horses were exhausted, and with the domestic turmoil in Daxia, peace talks would be sent soon. The reason for the book is to persuade Meng Tian to seal the city and not fight it.

Although Jingzhou Mansion was not harmed, they were returned to Tiandu and Ning'an Second Village. In the end, [-] soldiers were killed and they lied about the situation of the war.

"Zhao Baiyu? The one who beheaded two rivers and three hundred officials three years ago?" Seeing Meng Tianzong nodding, Keshan smiled and waved his hands: "He can be an upright official and a good minister, but he may not be a good general. Putting the officialdom in the northwest will not work. Those who can solve cases and go to jail cannot command soldiers and horses to fight. He just found out the tricks of Tiandu Village. What can Emperor Dajing do to me? It’s not easy to suppress.”

Meng Tianzong: "Marshal, don't forget that Zhao Baiyu is still the princess of Lin'an County."

The Northwest Emperor may not be afraid of Emperor Yuanshou, but he must be afraid of Huo Jingtang.

Ke Shan heard the words, his arrogance really subsided a bit, he pondered and asked: "You said that there is a man beside him, are you sure it is the young general of the Cui family?"

Meng Tianzong: "The lower officials have seen his seal, and are very sure that it is General Cui!"

Shocked Keshan: "Did Huo Jingtang accompany his princess to the northwest?"

Meng Tianzong: "Huo Jingtang's meritorious service is great, Emperor Yuan Shou is not afraid. When there is no war in the northwest, how can he be easily let him go? According to the humble opinion of the officials, both the Cui family army and the Yanyan army should have won Huo Jingtang. According to the secret order, General Cui was sent to protect Zhao Baiyu." He swallowed, unable to hide his fear: "The Northwest Five Route Army, they occupy two routes, and the King of Lin'an still has an unpredictable soldier in his hand. , They are all protecting Zhao Baiyu. Even if Zhao Baiyu doesn't know how to fight and lead troops, he can easily clean up the northwest."

Seeing that Keshan still didn't care, Meng Tianzong gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "Marshal, isn't there anyone coveting your position as the head of the Tibetan clan?"

In the end, Keshan reacted quickly and quickly understood the meaning of Meng Tianzong's words.

The imperial court can abandon him at any time and help others to take the position. Not to mention far away, there are many heirs such as Shudan and Shudamu who are eyeing his position.

In the Fan tribe, there is no rule of fatherly kindness and son filial piety, the strong is king, and there are many examples of old lion kings being murdered by new lion kings.

"I understand." Ji Keshan was planning in his heart, raised his eyes and said to him: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for reminding me. Don't worry, the lion king is still the strong and experienced lion king, and no one can shake him." Throne."

It sounds like there is a way to deal with it.

Meng Tian felt relieved a little: "That's the best."

***

As soon as Meng Tianzong left, the news of his arrival was passed to Yu Damu's ears, who commented coldly: "It really is a good dog."

He asked again, "What else did they say?"

The pawns placed next to Keshan answered truthfully. When he heard that Jinglue envoy Zhao Baiyu, Damu had a complicated expression, mixed with joy and anger.

I am happy that the arrival of the other party can take advantage of Tiandu Village to bring down Shu Dan, and it is even more likely to help him to the top to replace the disobedient Ji Keshan.

What is angry is that Zhao Baiyu's status is so high that he can't retaliate, and now that he offends the other party, the possibility of being selected as a support object has dropped sharply.

Damu asked again: "What does father think about the little nun's redemption?"

After getting the answer from Keshan who laughed heartily, Damu was surprised and hated at the same time. He was surprised at why his father had such an abnormal attitude. What he hated was that he suspected that his father's move was still aimed at him and that he couldn't understand him.

How can a father oppose his son like this?

Ji Keshan's attitude towards Ji Dan is so close to the naked eye, he spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, and built him a reputation as a general with an iron wall. He didn't know that if he opened the city to face the battle that day, the behavior of Ji Dan's arrogance and abandonment of the city would be revealed to the world. Even if he managed to save his life, his future would be ruined.

"For the sake of a stunner, my father actually disregarded the lives of [-] Tibetans and their family members in the northwest. Isn't he afraid that the court will know the truth and doubt the loyalty of the Tibetans?"

Tang Damu, who had long since stopped looking forward to his father's love, still felt chilled.

The retainers suggested: "Why don't you take refuge in Zhao Baiyu and let him take care of Shu Dan and Marshal Shu?"

Damu: "I have already offended Zhao Baiyu, if I seek refuge now, I will either be rejected or used in reverse. In the end, I am still not the leader of the tribe. I have heard that Zhao Baiyu is upright. Seeing I can't rub the sand in my face, and he doesn't like me."

He occasionally has a clear understanding of himself.

Retainer: "You can pretend to be used, but you are actually using Zhao Baiyu as a spearman. Although three of the eight clans in the northwest support you, the rest of the clans have their own ideas, and some clans, such as the most powerful Zhelong clan, are completely obedient. Marshal Yu, if the Zhelong Fanbing, the Ji Family Army, and the Ji Clan Fan Bing support Shu Dan, the other clans may not support you in their hearts, but they will definitely not support you. Your chances of winning are not good. On the contrary, this Zhao Baiyu came to the northwest But God is helping you, he is working ahead, so you can pick up the leak in time, won’t it be enough?”

Damu was thoughtful: "There is some truth. Then I will go to contact Zhao Baiyu tomorrow?"

"No," said the retainer, "wait and see first, then wait, wait for a good time."

***

After returning to Tiandu Village, Su Dan still served as the guard here, but he didn't want to go there, so he stayed in Jingzhou Mansion.

Of course, there is also an eyeliner arranged by him in the Shock Mansion, so he knows what happened in the Jingzhou Yamen courthouse earlier, and Meng Tianzong's reaction to the Shock Mansion and Ji Keshan afterwards.

Confused Dan: "Jinglue envoy? The famous Zhao Qingtian? I remember that he is still the princess of Lin'an County... Huo Jingtang!" His face was ashen, and to be honest, he was even more afraid of the northwesterner Huo Jingtang. "Has the matter of Tiandu Village been discovered? Did he come to investigate me? To arrest me?"

His retainer hurriedly said: "General, please calm down first. If you have evidence, you would have sent troops to take you down. Why send another envoy? I don't think Zhao Baiyu has any evidence in his hand, and he is in Jingjing." Isn't it common for our territory to be killed by random bandits?"

Startled Dan stared: "He has the Cui family's children to protect him, which is enough to prove that the Lin'an County King attaches great importance to him. If something happens, I don't know if the reason for being killed by the bandits can convince the world, but I know that Huo Jingtang must Will cut off my head!"

Retainer: "..." He really didn't understand why Su Dan was so afraid of the Prince of Lin'an.

In the next second, Jidan told him the answer: "You don't know, I was lucky enough to see the king of Lin'an go into battle to kill the enemy, and the time he killed Daxia's soldiers and horses and became known as the human slaughter, I was right behind In the army, I watched from a distance, and with one order, I killed them all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am the king of Hades."

After that, the Prince of Lin'an County, who was wearing black armor and turned his back to the sun, could not see his face clearly and only remembered a black mass, became the source of his nightmares for a long time.

Retainer: "I can't move, I can't kill, so why don't I wait for the court to question me?"

Su Dan took it for granted, "It's fine if I become the leader of the Fan clan."

Retainer: "..." Seriously?

Su Dan also knew that he was too bad, but it was not without reason: "You have to know that there was no reinforcements in the battle of Tiandu Village, and my father took me in who abandoned the city and fled, and concealed the situation of the war for me. If something happened to me, my father would also I can't escape. Whether it's for my blood, for the sake of my dead mother, or to protect himself, he will find a way to stop Zhao Baiyu from investigating."

Not without reason.

"So, besides, Damu has offended Zhao Baiyu, he might do something bad, let's see what he does, we'll just play it by ear."

Ji Dan frankly grabbed the wine jar and drank more than half of it, then suddenly thought of something: "Father still went to the nunnery to meet Sister Tianzhu yesterday?"

The retainer nodded.

"I don't know what's good about the nunnery and the Buddha and Bodhisattva. My sister has been knocking on the wooden fish for 20 years and I still don't get tired of it."

The retainer believes in Buddhism, so he can't respond no matter what, he just shut up, and Liu Jingdan sighed alone.

***

On the second day Zhao Baiyu and Huo Jingtang returned to the inn, they received wedding cakes from Ruoshan and Suosangji couple to thank them, and they chatted for a while before sending them off, and wandered around the city for the next few days , Mainly go to the market.

The bazaar is the place that can best reflect the local customs and customs. The common trade is that sheep, horses, camels and other livestock are exchanged for tea, rice and silk, which are common in the south. The language is mixed, and it is rare to hear people who speak official Chinese. Zhao Bai Yu can understand some, but Huo Jingtang can understand everything, after all, half of his life is spent in the Northwest.

The market is crowded with people, steamed buns and other food are constantly rising. It is now winter and the weather is turning cold. I heard from the innkeeper that it will snow in ten days or so.

Zhao Baiyu drank a bowl of milk tea with a strong milky aroma. Different from the cow milk products with various flavors and exquisite appearance in Kyoto Prefecture, the milk tea here has a more delicate and rich taste, both sweet and salty, and tastes good, so he wants I ordered two bowls.

Drink half of each bowl and taste it before giving it to Huo Jingtang.

Huo Jingtang said while packing up the milk tea he pushed over, "There are three waves of people following us, front, back, left, and right."

"Oh." Zhao Baiyu didn't change his face, and he was not very interested in hearing the words: "Four days have passed, and no one has come. The so-called soldiers are expensive, and they don't understand this truth at all. I am very disappointed."

Huo Jingtang was too lazy to talk, no one came but sent people to monitor and follow him all the time, while Zhao Baiyu ate, drank and teased them all by himself, the more confused the other party was, the happier he was, obviously enjoying it.

At this time, a girl with double braids was sitting opposite them with a bowl of salted milk tea and said, "There is no place next to them, can the two gentlemen allow me to share the table?"

Sit down and ask?

Zhao Baiyu smiled, thinking she was interesting, so he nodded.

After the girl finished drinking the milk tea, she picked out a wilting wild orchid from the medicine basket and gave it to them: "You two are so handsome, this orchid is given to you, it's worthless."

Zhao Baiyu subconsciously refused, the girl threw down the copper plate and the wild orchid and left, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye, so he had no choice but to take the wild orchid and look at it, then put it beside the corner of the table.

After a while, someone passed by and knocked over a wild orchid. Zhao Baiyu hurriedly picked it up, checked whether the orchid was damaged, and apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay, just leave it alone."

Watching the passers-by leave, Zhao Baiyu said nonchalantly, "A few days ago, Miss Ruoshan said that there is a nunnery with rich incense in Jingzhou. What is it called Dabei nunnery? If you don't want to leave here, go and see it?"

Huo Jingtang has always had no objection, "Yes."

Zhao Baiyu: "Don't let the mice follow."

Huo Jingtang: "Okay."

So after the boss moved a five-layer steamer to cover the figures of the two of them and passed by, he disappeared from the eyes of those who followed and monitored them.

The group of people ran over one after another, but they couldn't find anyone no matter how hard they searched.

One of the people asked if the person who pretended to be a passer-by to knock over the wild orchid just now didn't find any problems, and they got a firm answer that there was indeed no problem.

***

After leaving the market and walking along the path less traveled by, Zhao Baiyu spread out his palm to reveal the note that the girl stuffed into his palm when the girl brought orchids over just now.

There are three words written on the note: Dabei Temple.

The Great Compassion Nunnery is quite famous. Miss Ruoshan did mention that it was the largest nunnery in Jingzhou, and it was built by Ji Keshan as a gift to his niece, and his niece was the one who was rumored to have an affair with her. The fetus was secretly married and gave birth to the stepsister of Jing Dan.

When we came to the entrance of Dabei Nunnery, although we were in a busy city, it was quite quiet. The great hermit was hidden in the city, like a famous mountain and ancient temple.

The two of Zhao Baiyu entered the Dabei Nunnery and stopped a little nun who said they wanted to see Ji Keshan's niece.

The little nun rolled her eyes and suddenly realized: "You are the predestined people that the master said!"

Zhao Baiyu: "Your master mentioned us?"

The little nun led the way: "Of course. My master is very smart. She is proficient in Daxia, Fan, Mandarin and various local languages. She can also explain many scriptures that are completely incomprehensible...here it is!" She stopped At the gate of a yard, he pointed to the open door inside and said, "Master lives there, you just go in and look for her."

After saying that, he ran away.

There are some green bamboo groves planted in the courtyard, the sandalwood smell is very strong, very quiet, inside the house is facing the door is an incense table, a futon, on the left are two chairs, an earthen kang, a Zen character is engraved on the wall, Sitting cross-legged on the kang was a nun wearing sea green clothes. Her complexion was fair, and her facial features were pretty and soft. Even plain clothes and a considerable age could not conceal her natural beauty.

"Jie Keshan's niece?"

The nun nodded: "The name of a poor nun's family is Long Tianzhu."

"Zhelong Clan?" Huo Jingtang looked up at Zhelong Tianzhu, "Are you the daughter of the former leader of Zhelong Clan?"

Nun: "I didn't expect anyone to remember my father." After a pause, she looked over, clasped her hands together and said, "The poor nun has met the King of Lin'an County and Mr. Zhao, please sit down."

Before sitting down, Zhao Baiyu said, "I guessed a lot of people, but I didn't expect you to come to see me first."

"Because outsiders don't know that I'm still alive." Zhelong Tianzhu: "Master Zhao, I heard that you are an upright official, and you will seek justice for the people if they have a grievance. .I have a grievance, sir, would you like to appeal for me?"

Zhao Baiyu: "Let's talk."

Zhelong Tianzhu: "My grandmother was born in Dajing, and she was born soft and beautiful. My grandfather was a soldier in the hands of the old Marshal. He was entrusted to take care of his wife before he died in the battle. The old marshal fell in love with my grandmother at first sight and took her as his concubine. He regards my mother as his own, and also asks other children to take good care of my mother. My mother and grandmother are born alike, beautiful, with a gentle and kind personality. Out of reluctance, they take care of Keshan who was in a bad situation in childhood. A married woman from the Shu clan, married to the leader of the Long clan from Yuanzhou."

She pinched her mouth and continued: "Mr. Niang gave birth to me, and then gave birth to two younger brothers. My father loves Niang very much, so he neglected other wives and refused to marry again... The Tibetan people are closely connected by marriage. This Northwest has won a place, so the marriage of the chiefs is inevitable. My father refuses to marry and only loves my mother, so it will naturally plant disasters."

"When I was ten years old, Ji Keshan came to visit. He and A Niang had a very good relationship. My father and A Niang specially held a family banquet for him. Unexpectedly, he and other members of the Long clan smashed the drunk My father and the heads of the Zhelong veterans quickly took control of Zhelong's soldiers and horses, blocked the matter, and said that he died suddenly. I don't know how many people believe it. Anyway, when the dust settles, no one will look back at the defeat Those. This is the Fan tribe, and the strong is king."

Zhelong Tianzhu frowned: "Ji Keshan killed my father to gain the support of Zhelong, a powerful clan! But he raped and raped my mother, and kept saying it was for her. The obsessed and infatuated look, after the mother died of dystocia, she was drunk all day long and didn't think about making progress, confusing everyone, including the old marshal—"

"Eight years! Losing my aunt, he played the trash for eight full years! Only then did he suddenly attack when others were fighting to the death, and snatch the position of the chief of the Fan clan without a single soldier."

Zhelong Tianzhu suddenly laughed.

"But do you know? Ji Keshan, who has done all kinds of evil things, would have been guilty of his heart. It turns out that his nightmare always looks like my mother died. Do you know how my mother died?" Zhelong Tianzhu looked fierce like a wolf. His gaze did not match his gentle appearance. "My mother cut open her belly with a knife, took out the pill, and let the blood flow all over the place, and let the intestines stay outside, because she wanted to scare Keshan! She wanted to curse Keshan with that appearance hell!"

"Without my mother, Ji Keshan would have died long ago."

"But Ji Ke Shan En took revenge and killed the only benefactor who was kind to him in this life. His vicious heart turned out to be a human heart. I thought it was born by evil spirits."

Zhelong Tianzhu looked at Zhao Baiyu: "Perhaps you will think my mother is stupid, and curse if she can kill people, all people in the world would have died long ago."

Zhao Baiyu looked back gently: "Your mother is here to save you."

Zhelong Tianzhu's expression froze, and then he loosened his tense shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "You do have a delicate heart. I have remembered that when my father was killed, I hid in a corner and witnessed the whole process, and Keshan knew this later. I wanted to kill me. Although my mother stopped me, I knew he was always looking for an opportunity to kill me. My mother died like a ghost, cursing Keshan sternly, which shocked his mind, enough to tear her gentle and beautiful before At that time, I gradually grew into the appearance of my mother, more and more like the "sister" in Keshan's mind, so he passed all his delusions and attachments to my mother on me."

"While he is obsessed with me who is growing up, he is afraid of me who is becoming more and more like A Niang. When he looks at me, he will think of A Niang's evil ghost and curse before she died. As he kills people and does evil things The more things happened, the more fearful he became, and he began to believe in Buddhism in order to seek relief... This is a cycle, the more he relies on Buddhism, the more he believes in the six realms of reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded, and the more afraid of A Niang's curse. Later, he Unfathomably believing that I am the reincarnation of A Niang, as long as you marry me and give me the position of legal wife, you can pay off the debt of killing my father and resolve the curse of A Niang, so I chose to become a nun to protect myself."

Zhelong Tianzhu patted the kang under the seat: "This was not a nunnery, but a courtyard for my mother. My mother died in this place and on this couch. Because of this, Keshan endured it for 20 years. Instead, he loves and indulges Huang Dan. He thought that A Niang had a difficult delivery, and he would rather have a caesarean section because he loved the child, but he didn't know that A Niang only hated it... Even so, the demons of A Niang Keshan increased instead of diminishing, and he still gave up his mind When it came to me, I hesitated because I swore to the Buddha that I would never return to vulgarity, so I dared not insult the Buddha, and now he has a legitimate reason to break the situation."

Zhao Baiyu's face was solemn: "Is it redemption?"

Zhelong Tianzhu nodded: "Master Zhao, don't worry, I'm not blaming you, but I want to join hands with you to overthrow the Shu family who has occupied the position of the leader of the Northwest Tibetan tribe for many years, and help you support the new leader selected by the court."

Huo Jingtang said: "You can see the situation clearly."

Zhelong Tianzhu: "Thank you Bodhisattva for pointing out a clear path for me."

She clasped her hands together, and there was unconcealable excitement and ambition in her eyes.

"Jie Keshan can have two regular wives, and he will give me the position of a regular wife, and I will ask him to recognize Yudan back. His current wife and Yu Damu will think that Ji Keshan's purpose of marrying me is to make it a matter of course. The three clans that are closely related to their interests will definitely not agree to the supremacy of Su Dan."

Huo Jingtang: "They will launch a mutiny on the wedding day, but what you and they can think of, so can Keshan." After a pause, he said clearly: "So you want us to send troops to help you?"

Zhelong Tianzhu: "Isn't it good to be a fisherman?"

Huo Jingtang folded his hands, leaning crookedly on the chair, in stark contrast to Zhao Baiyu, who was standing upright beside him: "Whether it's a fisherman or a stepping stone is open to question... How do you plan to arrange Jing Dan?"

"I don't need to arrange it, the Dan Dan loses the effect of appeasing the demons, and the Keshan will deal with him." Zhelong Tianzhu sneered: "Someone still has to stand up in Tiandu Village, right?"

Zhao Baiyu: "How many years have you been planning?"

Zhelong Tianzhu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "If you mean planning to kill Keshan, it started from the time I witnessed the tragic death of my father. If you mean this situation... Someone told me, I have to learn from the cliff. The patience of the eagle when catching prey, waiting patiently, waiting for an opportunity to kill Keshan with a single blow, and waiting for the guilt and fear in his heart to reach the peak, dragging the northwest tribes into a situation of confrontation with the Dajing court, I You can take advantage of the fear of the Tibetans towards the Dajing court to kill him."

Zhao Baiyu showed some caution, "Who is that person?"

Zhelong Tianzhu: "I haven't met him, but he gave me money and people, and he only gave me three letters."

Zhao Baiyu: "Apart from Keshan's life, what do you want?"

Zhelong Tianzhu turned his head to look at him, and asked softly, "What do you think I want?"

Zhao Baiyu: "The seat of the leader of the Zhelong clan."

Zhelong Tianzhu looked at him fixedly, and smiled after a while, "You don't have the ambition to underestimate women."

Zhao Baiyu: "Huo Jingtang said that women in the Northwest are like Populus euphratica who are immortal for a thousand years. I feel the same way."

Zhelong Tianzhu looked at the pair of lovers in front of him, his smile deepened, and he lowered his head suddenly, with big tears soaking Haiqing's robe.

"Thank you."

Zhelong Tianzhu's sensibility only showed for a moment, then immediately put it away, and said to them: "Since Ji Keshan took the position of the chief of the Fan tribe, he has an ambiguous relationship with Daxia. Before that, the number of spies sent to Liangzhou was suddenly reduced, but it was because of the battle of Tiandu Village, when the Daxia soldiers came to the city, it was Ji Keshan who first sent envoys to seek peace in private. We made some deals, and even 50 taels of silver was part of the deal. After the deal was over, Tuoba Mingzhu returned to the dynasty immediately, and didn't care about the rumors that Keshan released to the outside world..."

She leaned forward, "I suspect that Ji Keshan gave Tuoba Mingzhu the trump card to win the throne." With a sudden smile, Zhelong Tianzhu straightened his sleeves and said, "This is my guess, believe it or not, it's up to you , take it as my sincerity to cooperate with you.”

Zhao Baiyu and Huo Jingtang looked at each other and asked, "When is the wedding date?"

Zhelong Tianzhu grabbed the coffee table violently, unable to hide his ecstasy: "Middle of next month! Enough time for you to transfer to Yanyan Army!" Seemingly realizing that he was too excited, he restrained his emotions a little: "It's a deal?"

Zhao Baiyu: "A thousand pieces of gold will never be moved."

***

Walk out of the Great Compassion Temple.

Zhao Baiyu asked: "How much can you believe her words?"

Huo Jingtang: "When it comes to the tragic death of his parents, it doesn't seem like a fake. But such a hero as Ji Keshan, why has he never seen such a tragic death? Even if he is ashamed, he shouldn't be full of demons to the point of being hopeless. "

Zhao Baiyu: "I am also suspicious here. Do you think it is possible that Keshan has inhaled some kind of hallucinogenic drug for many years, and fell into a half-dream and half-awake state. If someone whispers next to him at this time, repeatedly guiding him to recall The most guilty scene, over time, won't it become his demon?"

Huo Jingtang: "I have fought in southern Xinjiang before, and I vaguely remember that there are similar drugs."

Zhao Baiyu smiled and said, "She probably ground the medicine into powder and mixed it with burning sandalwood. Ye Keshan would visit her at a fixed time every month, but he didn't dare to enter the house and just sat in the yard. The house is lit with unusual incense, and the yard is lit with a lot of sandalwood, the strong smell covers up the incense inside, plus the guilt of being a thief, the Dragon Dzi Bead, which is more and more depressing and does not doubt."

He sighed: "This girl is really smart."

Huo Jingtang cast his eyes down, staring at Zhao Baiyu, wanting to say that he is ten years younger than Zhelong Tianzhu, but he speaks sparingly as an elder.

"Actually, I didn't understand why Ji Keshan thought that forcibly marrying a nun is tantamount to insulting the Buddha,"

It's not that Zhao Baiyu underestimates women, but in the eyes of Buddhist believers, monks and nuns are just people who practice. To give some respect is to look at the face of the Buddha, but to insult them is tantamount to insulting the Buddha...not flattery , but a real insult to the Buddha.

"Now I understand, it turns out that people's hearts are full of sneakiness."

Zhao Baiyu folded his hands, facing the thin sunlight, thoughtful: "But what I care most about is who is the person who gave Long Tianzhu, money and letter, and why did he help Long Tianzhu? What is the deal between Keshan and Tuoba Mingzhu, I always feel that there may be a connection between the two, and it is very important."

Huo Jingtang pondered for a moment: "Big Xia's son is expensive by his mother, but Tuoba Mingzhu's biological mother is of low status, and the worst thing is that she was not treated by the national teacher Sang Liangyu, and she was expelled from the capital at the critical moment of seizing the heir... also to save her life, If you don't come to the frontier, you may be killed by Sang Liangyu with any excuse. It is almost impossible for Tuoba Mingzhu to ascend the throne. He was aggressive, with the intention of suppressing his arrogance, and he was sure that he would not dare to return to the capital, but Tuoba Mingzhu went down the donkey and returned to the court immediately—"

"Is it because Ji Keshan gave Tuoba Mingzhu the life-threatening information about Sang Liangyu?" Zhao Baiyu pondered, "I saw Gaoyi Mountain three years ago, and I knew he was unwilling to lose to Sang Liangyu. He is in the same situation, and the only person who has the opportunity to help him become famous is Tuoba Pearl."

Huo Jingtang realized: "So at that time you mentioned Changping's scheming with the enemy country many times... Oh, I also inadvertently leaked the truth in front of Gao Yishan, no matter whether the purpose of smuggling with Changping is good or bad, whether it is true or not, in short It’s enough to have an affair with Princess Dajing, just make some articles, it’s enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the whole family. Naturally, the candidate for adultery falls on Sang Liangyu, who is originally from Dajing, so it’s not a waste of a god-sent opportunity.”

The author has something to say:

When I opened the chapter on the computer code, I planned a chapter with [-] words to solve the problem.

PS: The bug in chapter 93 hasn’t been changed yet. I’m currently conceiving a side story about why Xiaoyu couldn’t tell the truth in 19. I’ll revise it after I’m done thinking about it (I originally planned to finish it and then conceive it, but because I tried to When fixing bugs, there was a small setting that I never remembered the reason for setting it in the first place, so I thought about it after thinking about it, and finally remembered it hahahahahaha.)

PPS: I only found it tricky when I wanted to fix the first 2 chapters, because at the beginning I had to fix it to the point where I didn’t think it was necessary to fix it, and it’s true that the 12th chapter was completely unknown, so I couldn’t figure out how I made such a big bug in the first place , I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but I can't remember why.Then, this morning, I finally remembered how to repair the first three chapters. I repaired the part where Xiaoyu knew the truth about the exchange to Chapter 2.

I don't know if I can still find a backup, so I'll look for it when I have time.

The reason is very complicated, and it has to do with the structure of the writing. I have time outside the episode, so I will tell you an interesting story.
