Monk Kongji returned to Zhaoti Temple in a sedan chair, and Tang Guolong, the minister of Honglu Temple, was ready.
Tang Guolong was an upright man, and the atmosphere of Honglu Temple was also very good. His subordinates were all people who were willing to sacrifice for the country.
At this time of crisis, they were willing to follow Tang Guolong as an envoy to the country of Uz.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tang. The credentials and treasures are all ready."
Monk Kongji presented the box containing the credentials with both hands.
Tang Guolong accepted it respectfully and bowed: "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I will definitely live up to my mission."
After carefully receiving his credentials, Tang Guolong asked: "Is Master Puxuan okay? I plan to set off today."
Kong Ji asked: "Master Tang, don't you go home and let me know?"
It may take a year or two to go away, or you may not come back.
Tang Guolong said: "No need, the country is in danger, how can we take care of our family."??
Kong Ji saluted Tang Guolong and said, "Master Tang is highly righteous."
"Master Tang, I will go to see if my senior brother is okay later."
Kong Ji entered Pu Xuan's room with the support of Shan Zhen, who was still instructing his disciples to pack their things.
"Bring more clothes and a hat to protect you from the sun. You also need a veil. The desert is so windy and sandy that you can't survive without a veil."
"Take the scriptures with you, I want to read them on the way."
"Use the best water bag. If there is no water, we will die of thirst."
The disciples were busy packing their things, and the room was in a mess.
Kong Ji looked at it and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Senior brother, Mr. Tang is ready and waiting for you to set off."
Monk Kongji said calmly.
Kong Ji said in surprise: "Departure? Now? Doesn't he need to pack his things or say goodbye to his family?"
Kong Ji said: "Master Tang said that the country is in danger and he has no time to go back."
Pu Xuan was a little unhappy and said: "Junior brother, this trip is going to be very difficult and dangerous. I have to take care of it. Don't rush me."
Kong Ji had no choice but to say: "Senior brother, take your time to pack up. We will set off tomorrow. The queen has already prepared the credentials and treasures."
Pu Xuan responded and said, "I understand."
Kong Ji turned around and slowly returned to the front yard, and said to Tang Guolong: "Master Tang, please forgive me. Senior brother, he is explaining some monk affairs in the temple and we can't set off until tomorrow."
"How about Mr. Tang go back and reunite with his family, so that you can say goodbye to your family."
Tang Guolong was anxious, but with Pu Xuan acting like this, he had no choice but to say, "Well, I'll go back first and wait at the north gate tomorrow."
null Ji saluted and said: "Okay."
Tang Guolong took the officials from Honglu Temple and went home first.
Kong Ji sent Tang Guolong away and slowly walked back to the abbot's room.
"You guys, please step back."
Shanzhen and others exited the abbot's room, sat down cross-legged in Kongji, and slowly meditated to regulate their bodies.
Now that the country is in a critical situation, he must recover as soon as possible.
That night, Pu Xuan packed his things noisily and spent the whole night noisily.
The next morning, Pu Xuan finally packed up. Monk Kongji took the monks from the temple to see Pu Xuan outside the door.
The ministers of the court received the Queen's instructions and went to the North Gate to see her off.
The people of Xingqing City gathered at the north gate to watch, forming a huge formation.
Pu Xuan mounted his horse, and Kong Ji said to Pu Xuan and Tang Guolong: "Thank you for your hard work, Daxia is waiting for your return."
Tang Guolong bowed on his horse and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I will definitely live up to my mission by going here."
Pu Xuanze looked back at Zhaoti Temple, sighed slightly, and said, "Junior brother, I'm leaving."
Kong Ji bowed and said, "Senior brother, have a good trip."
Puxuan nodded, and under the gaze of hundreds of officials, the two led a team of hundreds of people and slowly headed west.
After everyone had gone far, Kongji slowly returned to Zhaoti Temple.
As soon as I entered Zhaoti Temple, I saw Hong Zhi coming and said, "Junior brother, the king asked you to go to Yangcheng to discuss matters."
Monk Kongji looked troubled and said, "How am I going to do this?"
Kong Ji's injury has not healed yet, so he is not suitable for long-distance fatigue.
Hong Zhi said: "The special envoy is waiting. The king said to take a sedan chair."
A large sedan chair with eight carriages has been placed in the yard, waiting for Kong Jing to get on the sedan chair.
Kong Ji had no choice but to get on the sedan immediately and follow the special envoy to Yangcheng.
Xifeng City.
Long Chen, dressed in white clothes and riding a white horse, stopped at the Jade Buddha Tower.
The weather is already very hot, and I have few clothes to wear.
When the women on the street saw Long Chen, they all stopped to watch.
"That is King Wu, the future consort."
"General in white, you are so handsome."
"That's for sure. If he wasn't handsome, how could the princess like him?"
"listen
He said that King Wu is passionate, should we go?"
"Forget it, with our looks like ours, only the shopkeeper of the Jade Buddha Tower is qualified to hook up with us."
The women who were watching were talking a lot, and they all knew that Long Chen and Yan Shuangyu were hooking up.
When Long Chen dismounted, Li Sanniang immediately came out to greet him and bowed happily: "King Wu hasn't been here for a long time."
Long Chen smiled and said: "We are busy with military affairs and only have time today. Is Hall Master Yan here?"
Li Sanniang immediately replied: "Here he is, waiting for King Wu in the back garden."
Yesterday, Yan Shuangyu sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhenguo Temple, asking Long Chen to come to the Jade Buddha Tower to enjoy the flowers.
Yan Shuangyu said, if you don't come, the flowers will wither.
Long Chen came on horseback alone today.
Li Sanniang led the way, and Long Chen walked through the main hall, turned two corridors, and arrived at the back garden.
This is the backyard of the Jade Buddha Tower. The high courtyard wall forms a courtyard with many peach blossoms planted there.
One peach blossom looks very vulgar, but if you plant one, it will look very beautiful and artistic.
At this time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and there were some fallen flowers on the ground, like a pink blanket, which was particularly beautiful.
"King Wu is finally willing to come."
Yan Shuangyu is wearing a pink dress, and the makeup on her face is pink, which contrasts with the peach blossoms, making her look particularly beautiful.
"Master Yan invited me, how dare I not come?"
Long Chen walked over with a smile. Yan Shuangyu led Long Chen towards the depths of the peach forest, while Li Sanniang exited the yard.
There was a table in the peach grove, but Yan Shuangyu did not place wine on the table. Instead, he spread a camel hair blanket in the middle of the peach grove, with a plate on it. On the plate were a jade pot and two jade cups.
A jar of wine and a few exquisite side dishes.
"King Wu, please sit down."
Long Chen sat down casually, Yan Shuangyu straightened her clothes and knelt down opposite Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at the peach blossoms blooming around him and sighed: "This Xifeng City actually has such beautiful scenery."
Yan Shuangyu held up her sleeves, picked up the jade pot with her slender hands, poured a glass of spring wine for Long Chen, and said: "This is transplanted from the capital by the slave family. It will be opened this year."
"If King Wu doesn't come, all these flowers will wither."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm here, isn't it? And I came at the right time, the flowers are blooming just right."
Yan Shuangyu smiled sweetly and said, "Is it possible that King Wu is hiding from the slave family on purpose?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Why should I hide from you?" Yan Shuangyu smiled slightly, leaned over and offered the jade cup with both hands.
Yan Shuangyu wore thin clothes and had a good figure. When she bent down to deliver the wine, Long Chen could clearly see her snow-white skin.
"Deep in the peach blossoms, there is a unique scenery."
Long Chen took the jade cup and admired it slightly.
Yan Shuangyu's pretty face turned red and she said, "Wang Wang is looking at peach blossoms, or what else?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Of course I am talking about this peach blossom. What do you think the hall master is?"
Yan Shuangyu knew what Long Chen was talking about, so she said coquettishly: "This wine from the slave family is poisonous, King Wu needs to think clearly."
Yan Shuangyu is good at using poison, Long Chen had seen it when he was assassinating in the giant wood forest.
"Death under the peonies, being a ghost is also romantic."
Long Chen raised his head and took a deep breath, tasted it carefully, and praised: "The hall master is good at poisoning, and he is also good at brewing wine."
Yan Shuangyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Would King Wu want to taste the poisonous wine from the slave family?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "If you can bear it, I will drink it too."
Yan Shuangyu took the jade cup from Long Chen, poured another cup, and said, "I can't bear to part with you."
Long Chen took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Yan Shuangyu was afraid that Long Chen would drink too quickly, so she did not rush to refill Long Chen's cup and said, "I heard that King Wu won another victory and captured the princess of Xixia alive."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, she sought death herself, and actually brought five hundred so-called wolf hunting troops to hunt me down."
Yan Shuangyu smiled and said: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They were pampered in the palace and thought they were invincible. They deserved it."
Long Chen picked up the jade pot, poured a glass for Yan Shuangyu, and said, "Master, don't you want to drink?"
Yan Shuangyu took the jade cup and said coquettishly: "I still can't trust the slave family."
Yan Shuangyu drank it all in one gulp and showed the empty cup to Long Chen.
"That's not what I mean. Drinking alone is boring."
Yan Shuangyu asked: "I heard that King Wu had another fight with Shi Le, and Shi Le's army was defeated."
Long Chen didn't hide anything and said: "You can't say that he lost, and I can't take it. Shi Le has the secret method of Xixia."
Yan Shuangyu's heart moved slightly and she asked: "Is it the rumored secret method of the royal family?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's the one."
Yan Shuangyu looked at Long Chen with admiring eyes and exclaimed: "Shi Le used the royal family's secret method and was actually repelled by King Wu? What method did King Wu practice to be so powerful?"
