In the small courtyard, there was a small bamboo table with two teacups on it.
Li Yu and Xue Pan sat under the tree, leisurely tasting the Dahongpao he had just bought, which was said to be the authentic Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain.
"Xue Pan, how is your relationship with the people in the Jia family?" Li Yu asked.
"It's not bad." Xue Pan said: "After all, we are related to each other. Although I am no longer an ordinary person, I can't forget these ordinary relatives."
Judging from his coquettish appearance, he probably pretended to be in front of the people of the Jia family. Li Yu secretly thought to himself, you think your popularity is not bad, but it is very likely that you are already hated by others.
In fact, what he thought was quite correct. After Xue Pan came to Jia's house, he hardly went out. He just got together with a few brothers from Jinling to brag.
Occasionally, he would take part in the affairs of the Jia family, and he would give pointers. He seemed to be in charge of the affairs, which made everyone in the Jia family very angry.
Especially people like Jia Zhen and Jia Lian would stay away from him when they saw him, because they were used to being aloof, and suddenly Xue Pan came. He used to be a famously stupid overlord and was the target of ridicule.
.Now that he has suddenly become successful in practicing Taoism, do you think he is angry or not?
Li Yu asked: "Is there anyone who knows the Jia family very well but has a good relationship with you? It would be best if they are one of their own."
When Xue Pan heard this, he knew that Li Yu was going to do something bad. The two of them had a tacit understanding.
"What do you want to do?"
As the young cousin of the Jia family, Xue Pan has no intention of harming his relatives. Although he is very muddy, he is still a kind person at heart.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Help them."
Hearing what Li Yu said, Xue Pan felt relieved because he knew that his brother was much more kind than him.
Since meeting Li Yu, he has done a lot of things to help others, even many of whom Li Yu did not know beforehand and had no friendship with them.
Under Li Yu's words and deeds, Xue Pan's own moral level improved by leaps and bounds. He lost his father when he was young and was raised by a loving mother, so he has always been naughty.
It was after meeting Li Yu that I slowly began to have a sense of right and wrong. People will always learn from the outstanding people around them. Sometimes you don't know it, but subconsciously you will align with them.
Li Yu's status was special. Many people gathered together because of him, and the entire Zhengjing sect subtly acquired the temperament of his founder.
Xue Pan hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and said, "I will introduce someone to you. Let's take some time to have a meal."
"good."
Xue Pan left after saying that. His work efficiency was pretty good, and he came quickly and said, "We've all made an appointment."
Li Yu hasn't finished drinking the tea in his hand. Wuyi Mountain's Dahongpao is indeed more famous, it is indeed better tasting and has a unique mellow aroma.
"What's your name?"
Xue Pan said: "You don't know, he is also a nobody in Jia Mansion. Speaking of which, he is also an upright great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion. Unfortunately, his parents died early, and he has lived with Jia Zhen since he was a child. I think he is a good person, and he has
I often take him with me and call her Jia Qiang."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Actually, it's best to be from Rongguo Mansion, but it doesn't matter."
"Hey, these two families are basically the same family. If someone farts in Ningguo Mansion, it will be reported to Rongguo Mansion."
Li Yu said with a smile: "Okay, it's up to him. I think it's better to choose a different day, so let's do it tonight."
The restaurant Xue Pan chose was a painted boat on the Qinhuai River. This place is more famous than Bianliang Beiwan.
Fire smoke and merchants gathered on both sides of the Qinhuai River; gold-plated balconies were of varying heights; in the evenings, restaurants and teahouses entertained people all night long; wine and sex were noisy, decorating the Yingtian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.
The place Xue Pan chose was very plain and simple. In fact, this is what a top-notch brothel would look like.
The splendid restaurant, the girl with heavy makeup, it can only be an ordinary fun scene.
The real wealthy people patronize this kind of boat, which looks simple and clean, but is actually of high style.
Any inconspicuous stool here may have a great background, and ordinary people will not be able to tell it.
Even though he was a man dressed as a Taoist priest and stepped upstairs, he did not arouse any doubts among the servants in the building. These days, there are more Taoist priests visiting brothels, and there are also many monks, as long as they have money.
Entering the room that had been arranged in advance, Li Yu saw the person next to Xue Pan at a glance. He was wearing a light yellow straight dress, a jade belt around his waist, fast foundation boots, a jade face and sword eyebrows, skin as white as snow, pretty eyes and a nose job.
, with cinnabar-like lips, and a folding fan that is more than a foot long in her hand. She looks as beautiful as a virgin. If he hadn't looked up and saw the towering Adam's apple in his throat, Li Yu would have thought it was Hua Mulan who died in a hairpin.
Jia Qiang is the most romantic and handsome lady in the Jia family. It is said that she is even better than Jia Rong. When we meet her today, her reputation is indeed well-deserved.
When he saw Li Yu coming in, he became even more excited. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Xiao Ke Jia Qiang, I have seen a serious Taoist priest!"
"No need to be polite, you are Xue Pan's friend, you are my friend."
When Xue Pan heard this, he was very proud and said with a smile: "Why isn't Miss Yun'er here yet?"
Li Yu waved his hand and said: "The things we are talking about today are a bit secret, so don't let the girl come."
Xue Pan curled his lips and said: "That's so boring!"——
"Concubine Jia's weakness is her parents, who are very filial."
Li Yu got these words from Jia Qiang's mouth, and he was going to make a fuss about this.
As long as Jia Yuanchun believes that inviting the emperor to Jinling can help her family exonerate themselves, they will succeed.
When Yu Qian is in trouble, he dares to do anything, no matter how difficult it is, he is not afraid. However, trying to persuade an imperial concubine with lies still made him frown.
Li Yu smiled and said: "This is very easy, I have a way."
If you want someone to believe something, you might as well let her believe it on her own.
"The Taoist priest is indeed very powerful. I wonder if he has any clever ideas?"
Li Yu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is the top secret of our sect."
Yu Qian's heart felt hairy and he felt terrified. Could this guy be a pervert and want to be unfaithful to the imperial concubine?
If this is really the case, how should I face him? He doesn't care about trivial matters if it becomes a big deal.
Yu Qian took a deep look at Li Yu and murmured in his heart that although Taoist priest Li was famous all over the world, he was not a handsome man. If he wanted to seduce the imperial concubine, it might be difficult for him.
"Anyway, be prepared. This is a rare opportunity. We must help His Highness to the throne within these few days!"
Li Yu turned around and left. If he knew what Yu Shaobao was thinking, he would probably go crazy on the spot.
I am a Taoist who is upright and upright, can’t you feel it?
Li Yu came to Jia Mansion and found Zhang Sanfeng. When he saw that he was still meditating, he couldn't help but admire him more.
Zhang Sanfeng stood up and was stroking a sword in his hand. He seemed to like it very much. "Master, look at this sword. It was a gift from Master Zhang Tianshi."
Li Yu smiled and said: "It's not bad. I'll help you find a better one another day. You can go for me and come back to our door to pick up Xiao Meng."
"Are you both coming?"
Li Yu nodded.
Big and small dreams got a great opportunity in Tianzi Tower, and they have already crossed several levels. For them, the alien species of heaven and earth, the power of advancing to the next level is much greater than that of ordinary monks. The dream-eating beast is as strong as it is in the early stage.
.Once this kind of thing is discovered, it will definitely be raised. Fortunately, the two of them were lucky enough to meet Li Yu.
The Zhengjing Sect is the most suitable for them to practice, because it can protect them and not raise them to harm others.
After all, the dream-eating beast is really good at harming people. Even people like Li Yu must be extra careful. If they really plot against it, they may fall into an illusion and never come out.
You may not even realize it, slowly dying in your own imaginary paradise.
Zhang Sanfeng used a cloud ladder, leaped into the air, and quickly disappeared. His air control skills were a little worse than Li Yu's, but they were already very good. Of course, he couldn't compare with Zuo Ci.
Li Yu looked at the clouds and smiled secretly in his heart. Maybe you don't believe me when I try to persuade you. I asked your ancestors to tell me in their dreams that they were the first Dukes Rong Guo and Ning Guo. Do you believe it?
All he had to do was make up a lie, and Jia Yuanchun would definitely trick the little emperor out, and then Zhu Biao would be "resurrected" in Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Wang Zhen brought all his cronies to Tubo. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There was Xu Huizu in the capital as an internal agent, and all the governors of the Fifth Army were disciples of the Xu family. The Shenji Camp was under the control of the Internal Affairs Ministry. Their Shenji
Once the battalion left, the other two battalions were under the control of the Fifth Army Commander's Office.
There will never be such a good opportunity again
Li Yu knew that there was another person hiding in the dark in Jinling who had been silently controlling everything.
Once you help Zhu Biao up, you can pull him out.
Baimao, Zuo Ci and the others have arranged everything in Jinling, and a good show is about to begin——
Tubo, Jokhang Temple.
Twenty thousand red-clad lamas stood neatly in the temple, their bodies shrouded in a halo, and each of them had a solemn expression.
"The army of evil spirits has begun to brutally kill our people. They are like a plague from hell and will destroy the followers of Buddha. We need to fight for the Buddha, drive away the darkness, and kill the evil spirits."
Twenty thousand monks all turned around and rushed towards the battlefield.
The army of the Central Plains was unstoppable along the way, and their invincible posture reminded people of the great Han cavalry in the past.
Tubo's soldiers and horses are not weaklings. On the contrary, they are actually very powerful. Especially when fighting at home, they have a natural advantage.
Under Tubo slavery, those who joined the army were called "warriors" and "Gui" in Tibetan. They were all from proud noble families, and slaves were not allowed to be warriors. During wartime, when warriors went to war, they were accompanied by many slaves, called "slaves".
.
These slaves are the ones who really fight. They usually help their masters farm, and they work in front of the war. Logically speaking, such people should have no fighting will, but they have a unique method, which is religion.
The Jokhang Temple actually controls the entire plateau. They use Tibetan Buddhism to brainwash these slaves. They believe that dying for their masters can wash away their sins and receive the Buddha's favor and preferential treatment in the next reincarnation.
Therefore, these slave soldiers and horses are not afraid of death when fighting. In addition, Tantra will also use secret techniques to stimulate their bodies, allowing them to explode with power far beyond their own, at the cost of how many days they have fought after the battle.
Months later, they will die in pain.
Tubo's tactics were not far behind either. Tubo had many cavalry and considerable infantry. Both men and horses wore jade armor, and their control was very sophisticated. In battle, they would dismount their horses and march in formation.
However, Li Shimin was well prepared to attack Tubo. The soldiers and horses he sent were highly mobile and good at riding and shooting. They were able to restrain these cumbersome warriors.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty at this time had strong national power, and Xue Rengui was also a rare general.
The discerning people in the Five Kingdoms have already seen that the Tang Dynasty's stated reason for attacking Tibet was probably just an excuse to coincide with the meeting.
They had long been prepared to fight against this powerful neighbor. It happened that Monk Fan intercepted and killed monks from the Central Plains in Baoxiang Kingdom, giving Li Shimin a reason to start a war.
Once the Tang Dynasty conquered Tubo, its territory would expand by one-third, and the Tang Dynasty, which was already the most powerful country in the Six Dynasties, would reach a higher level.
In this regard, among the Five-Nation Alliance, some were worried, some were indifferent, and some had not thought of this issue at all.
Zhao Yun wrote a letter in his own handwriting in the big tent, asking his soldiers to be sent back to Yizhou. He sighed deeply. The Tang Dynasty was indeed powerful. He had been watching the battles on the front line for several days, and the Tang army left a deep impression on him.
impression.
In his mind, he had already rehearsed countless battles with the Tang army, and Zhao Yun found that it was difficult for him to win completely.
At this time, a Tang army general came in, cupped his fists and said: "General Zhao, there is a general blocking the way in front, he is very powerful. Xue Shuai sent the general to ask the general if he can kill this person?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
Zhao Yun mounted his horse and came to the outside of the camp. Sure enough, he saw a millstone that looked like it had turned into spirit, with the Tibetan general guarding the front.
He held a heavy dark iron ax in his hand, his thick arms were thicker than a normal person's waist, his curly hair was hanging down from the back of his head, and he wore the mandible of an unknown beast under his neck, which was harder than steel.
His forehead was raised high, and his ferocious face was like a bloodthirsty lion.
The tall warrior raised his head, let out a roar full of hatred, then raised his huge bronze ax and swung it forward. Around him, hundreds of slave soldiers immediately roared out, like a group of angry demons.
Wild beasts, rushing towards their own camp.
They did not ride horses, because there were no horses on the plateau that could support their weight. Perhaps the big horses in northern Xinjiang could support them. But their speed was even faster than the war horses. The weapons of the slave soldiers were not exquisite.
But when they wielded those giant axes the size of wheels, thicker than a human head, and giant hammers studded with spikes, their powerful force seemed to tear the earth apart.
This has stimulated the body's potential to the extreme. It is conceivable that they will all die after this battle.
This was a life-extending charge. The surrounding Tang troops were arranged in a row of forty people, with twelve rows in front and back, a total of 480 people. There were three rows of crossbowmen, a total of 120 people, for a total military strength of 600. These
When people looked at the charging Tibetan soldiers, they felt somewhat fearful, but their long-term training and their indelible sense of honor made them persevere.
Suddenly, the sound of drums came from behind, and the soldiers and horses began to make way out of the way according to the orders of the drums.
