Chapter 916 The most painful thing in the world is thinking too much
"Why is that so?"
Li Ji was startled by the number Yun Chu said.
"There is no way, the world and the earth are all working together, and there is no freedom to transport heroes. Fei Jiu randomly selected two eyes and ears from Xu Jingye at first. When Xu Jingye's army was strong, their spies were frightened. Later, because of following Xu Jingye
As people in the team have been around for a long time, they have one or two more companions.
As Xu Jingye had nothing to grab in Tuyuhun, the team was not so united. In addition, the generals sent by Ying Gong suffered too many losses when Xu Jingye started his adventure. The two eyes and ears arranged by Fei Jiu were
He often received some compensation from Zhang Jianzhi, lived a prosperous life, and gradually gained some followers.
Xu Jingye had nothing to do, so he had to reuse these people who could get supplies. In addition, my request for these people was to "just lie dormant, not to use, wait for the critical moment, and see miraculous results." Therefore, it seems that they are better than Xu Jingye before.
Those whom he trusted had to be loyal, so all the other generals and guards around Xu Jingye were replaced by them.
The latest news I got is that they have taken control of the team with only more than 2,000 people left. Eighty-six of them sneaked into the Tang Dynasty quietly with Xu Jingye. Now, they are pretending to be a team from the Western Regions.
The caravan is heading to Chang'an.
In twenty days, it will be time to leave Xiaoguan Road."
Li Jidao: "Are you planning to kill Xu Jingye?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Back in Ganzhou, I did have the intention to kill him. After he jumped off a cliff and escaped, I gave up my intention to kill him. Mainly because I felt that killing him would be too unfair to Mr. Ying.
Already."
Li Ji lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why you handed all these people over to me is because you found that the people who were not infected by you were sent by me, right?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "The spies said that Xu Jingye's men have now split into two obvious camps, and they tried to win over those people, but found nothing. From this, Wen Wen deduced that those under the command of Xu Jingye were in dire straits.
The person who can still stick to Xu Jingye's side should be a man of Yinggong.
However, it is very interesting. Between you and me, there are some people who are not compatible with each other. Their will is equally unswerving. I once thought that these were people who were truly loyal to Xu Jingye. As a result, Zhang Jianzhi
After some testing, I decided that this was not the case. If these people were not affiliated with Baiqisi, they must be the Queen's men.
This time, it was those unreliable people who brought Xu Jingye into the Tang Dynasty, so I thought that Xu Jingye had secretly taken refuge with the queen."
"Why not Your Majesty?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "His Majesty is not that wretched. He has been very bold in doing things in the past few years."
Li Jicheng sighed and said: "After more than ten years of hard work, Xu Jingye has not been able to win over even one person who belongs to him..."
Yun Chu said: "This is actually our fault. We shouldn't have placed people around him, causing him to think that everyone is loyal and voluntarily following him."
Li Ji looked up at the sky sadly, and after a long while he slowly said: "Back then, I should have been more ruthless and set more fire when hunting, otherwise, where would the shame of today be?"
Yun Chu said, "He was frightened out of his courage by Tubo's discussion of Qinling. When the wind was going smoothly, he was invincible. But when he encountered a slight obstacle, he had no ambition to make progress. It was difficult for him to defeat himself, and he never suffered repeated defeats."
Those who are determined to fight are destined not to be on the stage."
Li Ji quickly calmed down and said to Yun Chu: "He has betrayed me and joined the queen's family. Now I want to know what she should be afraid of when I am a dying person, let alone me."
Be kind to the queen."
Yun Chu said: "The centipede insect is dead but not stiff, the colorful tiger is still alive even though it is dead. Who dares to look down on a person like Ying Gong, even if he is already old?"
Li Ji nodded and said: "You are right, give me all those people you don't like."
"Does Li Chengxiu know about this?"
"I just found out last night that I'm riding in a carriage with Li Si and the others. I heard that they haven't spoken a word for a day."
Li Ji stopped his horse and said to Yun Chu: "I want to tell him the other half of Xu Jingye's story..."
Yun Chu smiled slightly and threw out a bronze token. Li Ji caught it with his tentative hand, took a look at it, and put it into his arms.
The army was advancing unhurriedly on the fields. It must be said that the environment in the Tang Dynasty was really good. White clouds hung low on the green carpet-like plains, and some hills in the distance rolled up and down like giant whales on the sea.
Some villages are located on this huge green blanket. The smoke from the kitchen smoke curls up, and is pressed down by the wind, slowly covering the entire village. It is really beautiful.
Because the army was coming, the people naturally ran away long ago. Only some brave ones stood on the undulating hills, peering at this huge army like marmots standing upright.
After the rangers carrying the flags rushed over, the shrinking people disappeared.
Li Zhi also saw this scene and said to Wu Mei: "I am their emperor."
Wu Mei said: "They are afraid of the army."
Li Zhi sighed and said: "It can be seen from this that soldiers are the source of disaster in their eyes."
Wu Mei said: "I heard that when Liu Bei left Xinye, the people followed closely with the help of the old and the young, and the soldiers and horses under his command were strictly disciplined and did not commit any crimes. Why couldn't the Tang army do the same?"
Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "When the soldiers left the country, they became a group of people who made a living by military exploits. Everyone hopes to have a good harvest, just like a farmer who is in a hurry to harvest the wheat, so he will cut off the grain.
All the wild grass has been cut down."
Wu Mei said: "Why does your Majesty have to go see the East China Sea?"
Li Zhi said: "I just want to see the sea."
Wu Mei said: "Don't you have any intention of seeking immortality?"
Li Zhi pondered for a long time and then said: "Just take a look."
Wu Mei then said to Aunt Chun: "Go and ask Master Xuanzang to come over and teach your Majesty the Dharma."
Mother Chun got off the carriage, took a light two-wheeled carriage, and went to the rear of the team.
When she was passing by the front line of the rear army, she saw Yun Chu. Her heart beat loudly involuntarily. She wanted to lower her head and hide away, but she couldn't avoid it, so she had to pretend to be a clay Buddha with a red face.
She gently pushed Yunchu with her hand and said, "Ah Chun is here to see you."
Yun Chu looked at Aunt Chun, whose ears were red, and said naturally: "What's the matter with the erotic ladies coming to the army?"
The coachman stopped the carriage. Aunt Chun looked up at Yun Chu and said, "I have been ordered to ask Master Xuanzang to give lectures to Your Majesty."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Last time, the Meng Palace gave me beef jerky. Yun had no way to repay him, so he could only give the Palace Palace a small crossbow for self-defense. I hope the Palace Palace won't dislike it."
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from the horse bag and handed it to Aunt Chun on the carriage.
When Aunt Chun took over the crossbow, she casually held it in her hand and rode after Wen Wenwen.
Aunt Chun opened the bag and found that inside was an oil-paper bag not much bigger than a palm. When she opened the oil-paper bag again, she saw a small hand crossbow that looked like a child's toy. This hand crossbow was made entirely of steel.
Even the crossbow strings are also made of thin steel wires.
Aunt Chun is no stranger to hand crossbows. There are three of them in her bedroom, from big to small. The largest one is a military standard long crossbow, and the smallest one is also a small hand crossbow. However, Yun
The steel hand crossbow that was first given to her looked blue overall, more sophisticated and sharper.
There were only three crossbow arrows in the oil paper bag. They were no longer than nine inches long. They were made of unknown materials. They were lighter than steel and heavier than ordinary crossbow arrows.
A crossbow has three shots. This should be used for emergency self-defense when encountering danger.
Therefore, Mother Chun studied this hand crossbow all the way, and did not put down the small crossbow until she brought Master Xuanzang back to the emperor Luan Jia.
Not long after Master Xuanzang entered, the queen came out. The first time she saw Aunt Chun, she noticed that her sleeves were bulging again.
Thinking that this fool would meet Yun Chu, and thinking that Yun Chu had given Aunt Chun some food, he put his hand into Aunt Chun's sleeve angrily, and then pulled out an exquisite hand crossbow.
"Where are the crossbows?" Wu Mei said.
Aunt Chun carefully took out three crossbow arrows from under the carriage seat and handed them to Wu Mei.
Wu Mei just glanced at it and pulled the crossbow string skillfully. After the three crossbow strings were loaded, she loaded the three crossbow arrows one after another, then held the steel crossbow with one hand and aimed around.
Finally, a shield bearer was ordered to place the protective shield on the ground as a target for her shooting.
"Duoduoduo", the three crossbow arrows accurately landed on the giant shield. Wu Mei walked over and took a look, and found that the steel crossbow penetrated the shield by more than half an inch.
Then he fiddled with the steel crossbow arm with his long nails and said, "This is a sharp weapon that can kill people."
Aunt Chun immediately said: "I met the Duke of Lantian, and he rewarded this slave."
Wu Mei sneered and said: "They gave it to me, I just used your hand."
Although Aunt Chun was reluctant to give up, she still said with a smile on her face: "I see, I just thought that he was showing his kindness for nothing. There must be something embarrassing that I want to tell the Queen."
Wu Mei pinched Grandma Chun's cheek and said, "Are you heartbroken?"
Aunt Chun firmly shook her head in denial.
Wu Mei weighed the steel crossbow and said, "I know that you are the one who can hold the crossbow in this palace. It seems that Yunchu knows a lot about the affairs in the palace."
Aunt Chun immediately said: "I never said that."
Wu Mei said: "I know it's not you."
"Then, who could it be?"
Wu Mei sighed and said: "Of course it is your Highness the Crown Prince. With him here, there will be no secrets for Yun Chu in this palace."
Aunt Chun suddenly understood and immediately said: "Don't let His Highness the Crown Prince know too much from now on. Why would he talk nonsense?"
Wu Meidao didn't say a word for a long time.
When Master Xuanzang came down from Luanjia, he saw the Queen looking at him, so he put his hands together with a smile and said: "The "Dabao Ji Sutra" says, like a person in a forest of thorns, if you don't move, you will not be hurt by the prick. You can't afford to be arrogant.
The joy of eternal peace and tranquility. Once the delusional mind moves, it will be stabbed by all things. Therefore, the sutra says: If you have a mind, you will suffer, but if you don't have a mind, you will be happy."
Wu Mei clasped her hands together and returned the greeting: "Zen Master, is there really a way to achieve immortality in the world?"
Xuanzang smiled and said: "The six paths of reincarnation are endless, isn't it enough?"
