When he heard that the elders of Tianxiahui had come to discuss the return of Zhenguo Temple, Emperor Lingyi was immediately unhappy.
"You just said I was a weasel, why did they become weasels?"
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Emperor Lingyi frowned and said angrily: "The queen mother authorizes you to have full authority to deal with it. You can't be careless. We have spent a lot of soldiers, horses, money and food, and we can't let it go in vain."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, princess, I will never lose power and humiliate the country."
"Also, it is estimated that Deshan Bald Ass is coming soon. You block him at the foot of the mountain and kill his majesty."
After saying that, Long Chen took a horse and took Zhang Qian to Jade Buddha Pass.
....
More than 100 miles west of Zhenguo Temple, Xixia Camp.
The hot summer day was scorching the earth, and the soldiers were uncomfortable with the sun. They each looked for something to shield themselves from the poisonous sun.
In a decent house, Shi Le was sitting inside, accompanied by Shi Haoran, Lu Qichang, and Deshan.
The other generals were sitting outside in the courtyard, taking off their armor. The heat was unbearable.
"There are woods in the area around Zhenguo Temple, which is cooler in summer. This damn place has no shade and is so sunburnt."
"Isn't that right? Who made us lose Zhenguo Temple?"
"We didn't lose that."
The generals were sarcastic and complaining.
A messenger hurried through the door and stepped on a general's foot. The general cursed: "You don't have eyes!"
The messenger did not stop. He lowered his head and entered the main hall, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has sent an urgent report."
Lu Qichang immediately took it and presented it to Shi Le.
After opening the letter, Shi Le looked a little relieved and said: "The Tianxiahui has dispatched elders to negotiate with Long Chengen at Jade Buddha Pass. They hope that representatives from our side will participate. Which of you will go?"
Everyone heard that the Tianxiahui sent elders and invited representatives from Xixia to participate in the negotiations, explaining that it was possible to negotiate for the return of Zhenguo Temple.
But...even if Long Chen is willing to return it, Xixia must give good conditions.
So, this is not a good thing.
Shi Le glanced at everyone, but no one spoke.
"Go away, poor monk."
Deshan was wearing a cassock. He was the only one who didn't feel hot here.
Shi Le nodded and said: "Master, it is most appropriate for us to negotiate. My bottom line is to get Zhenguo Temple back. This place is too important and must not be lost."
Deshan stood up and worshiped: "The poor monk received the order."
After leaving the room and walking in the yard, the generals were all disheveled and lying in the corner enjoying the cool air.
Seeing Deshan going out in his cassock, the general whispered: "Why isn't he hot?"
"I heard that I was injured by Long Chengen and there is coldness in my body."
"Damn it, it's such a hot day, let Long Chengen give me a good beating."
"Hey, Master Deshan is so powerful that he can withstand it. I'll give you a slap and send you to hell!"
Deshan heard the ridicule behind him, but he was helpless.
It turned out that Zhaoti Temple and Zhenguo Temple were high up in the sky and were respected by thousands of people, and these reckless men were also very polite to him.
But after this battle, Kongji and Deshan were disgraced and were scolded badly behind their backs.
After leaving the house, Deshan found several close disciples from Zhenguo Temple.
"Wonderful Seal!"
A handsome young monk ran over and worshiped: "Abbott."
Deshan ordered: "Find a few junior brothers and follow me to Jade Buddha Pass."
Miaoyin was startled and exclaimed: "Abbott, don't give up on yourself, things can still be done!"
Deshan was very embarrassed by what he said, and he had no choice but to explain: "I am not going to fight, the king ordered me to negotiate."
Miaoyin exclaimed again: "Abbott, don't throw yourself into a trap."
Deshan comforted him with kind words: "There is no need to worry. The two sides have agreed, and the world will do what they want. Weishi will represent Xixia, and Long Chengen will represent Eastern Zhou. There will be three-party negotiations. There is no danger in this trip."
Miaoyin felt relieved and said, "That's good. I'm worried about the abbot's safety."
In fact, Miaoyin was worried about his own life, not Deshan's.
Deshan was very pleased and said, "It's okay. Let's go find some smart juniors and set off immediately."
Miaoyin immediately picked a few monks and a few horses, and immediately went to Jade Buddha Pass.
The scorching sun was scorching, and several bald heads galloped eastward on their horses.
The protection of the hair is lost, and the scalp is burned and painful.
Miaoyin had no choice but to take out a kerchief and wrap it around his forehead. The other monks did the same, but Deshan was the only one who felt comfortable in the sun.
At this time, even Deshan himself felt a little grateful to Long Chen.
Passing by Zhenguo Temple, a group of cavalry rushed out from both sides and surrounded Deshan. The leader was none other than Emperor Lingyi.
"Old Bald Donkey, I've been missing for some time."
Di Lingyi held a long spear and sneered.
Several disciples of Miaoyin were frightened. Deshan stepped forward and pronounced the Buddha's name: "My Buddha is compassionate! The poor monk went to Jade Buddha Pass to negotiate with Dazhu Kingdom."
Emperor Lingyi sneered in his heart: This bald donkey has become honest and actually calls Dazhu Kingdom.
"I know, I'm waiting here specially for you. Master, please."
Emperor Lingyi raised his spear and all the soldiers made way.
Monk Deshan walked slowly with his disciples, his face extremely ugly.
To be so embarrassed in front of all the disciples!
After Deshan left, Zhang Man spat: "Old bald donkey, I really want to kill him with one knife."
Di Lingyi said: "Long Chengen only said to block him, but not to kill him."
Zhang Man looked at Deshan's back and asked strangely: "Isn't this bald donkey hot? Wearing so much?"
Only then did Di Lingyi realize that Deshan was wearing too many clothes.
"Yeah, isn't it hot?"
....
Long Chen set off from Zhenguo Temple and took Zhang Qian to Jade Buddha Pass, where Han Ziping was waiting at the pass.
"Dazhu Kingdom, the elders of the Tianxiahui are at the Commander's Mansion, and General Wu is accompanying the guests."
The status of the elder of Tianxiahui is not low, so it is reasonable for Wu Jian to accompany guests.
"We'll just wait until Deshan comes and let him into the prison."
Long Chen gave an order, and Han Ziping felt strange and asked: "That bald donkey is coming too?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is a pig killing party. If the pigs don't come, how can we kill them?"
Han Ziping nodded in understanding.
After entering the west gate and arriving at the Commander's Mansion, I saw two elders of Tianxiahui drinking tea.
"The junior has met the elder."
Long Chen walked in with a smile and was very polite.
Niu Yang smiled: "We meet again in Dazhu Kingdom."
Gao Nian nodded to Long Chen as a greeting.
This meeting was obviously more polite.
Last time Long Chen went to Sifang Tower, Tianxiahui had the initiative; this time, Tianxiahui went to Jade Buddha Pass, and Long Chen had the initiative.
Wu Jian stood up to greet him, Long Chen sat at the main seat, and Zhang Qian stood behind him.
"The Dazhu Kingdom's use of troops this time is an eye-opener for me. Five hundred cavalry are rampaging across the hinterland of Xixia, as if they were in an uninhabited land."
Niu Yang laughed and boasted.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Go where you don't want to go, go where you don't expect it; he who travels thousands of miles without working is walking in a no-man's land."
"I just took advantage of the loophole."
Niu Yang was shocked. He had read The Art of War written by Long Chen, and this sentence was from the book of war.
I used to feel that this sentence was too false, even unrealistic. How could you march thousands of miles without getting tired or making loopholes?
Now that I think about it, Long Chen actually did it.
He has studied little in his senior year and cannot understand what Long Chen said.
"Sir, the Xixia envoy is here."
The messenger outside the door came in to report that Monk Deshan had arrived.
