"Then General Lao Wang will be here." Princess Xinyi did not dare to look at Wang Junlin, she lowered her head and said shyly.
Wang Junlin also found that it was not appropriate for him to stare at a princess who was about to get married like this. He also lowered his head and said, "This is what a humble official should do."
After a pause, he added: "Princess, if you have nothing else to do, I will go down first to prepare the medicinal materials."
After saying that, Wang Junlin clasped his fists and bowed, turned around and left.
Princess Xinyi looked at Wang Junlin's back in a daze. She didn't look away until the maid closed the door. She took the prescription handed over by He Shanggong and looked at it with bright eyes for a long time. There was a strange light flowing in her eyes. After a while, she said:
"Mommy, is he really the poisonous general? How..."
After He Shanggong saw that Princess Xinyi actually met Wang Junlin, he became more energetic and not as melancholy as before. He smiled and said: "As General Wang said just now, the rumors in the world are often exaggerated, and rumors cannot be tolerated.
letter."
Princess Xinyi was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Emma, you said that if General Wang completely wiped out the Western Turks, wouldn't I have to marry a Western Turk savage? Not to mention that I wouldn't be like Princess Yicheng, an old Turk in the East.
When a khan dies, he still has to marry the old khan’s son; when the old khan’s son dies, he still has to marry his younger brother or grandson.”
He Shanggong glanced at Princess Xinyi, with a mixture of relief and worry in his expression, and said: "Your Highness is right, if the Western Turks are destroyed, the princess will indeed no longer have to marry barbarians like the Western Turks. However, if the Western Turks are destroyed,
Western Turks are easier said than done."
Princess Xinyi did not answer, as Wang Junlin's burly figure and reassuring eyes appeared in her mind.
…
…
Changsun Sheng was already over middle age. He had traveled a long distance and was already very tired. After saying a few words, he went down to rest. After Yu Juluo called Wang Junlin aside and gave a serious explanation, he returned with two thousand soldiers that day.
Jincheng County, after all, he is the commander-in-chief of the army in a state. There are nearly 100,000 troops in the counties under his command. The county is busy with affairs, and it is impossible to stay in Gaotaicheng for a long time.
In the evening, Wang Junlin was going to invite Changsun and his son to a banquet. Changsun Sheng refused to come, saying that he was old and overworked. He only sent his son Changsun Wuji and several other officials to come to the banquet. This suited Wang Junlin's heart, and he was about to go deep into the banquet.
Get in touch with Changsun Wuji.
The banquet was held at the Chunyi Building, the largest brothel in Gaotai City. Except for Changsun Wuji, the other civil and military officials of the mission were either fearful, jealous, or sneered. After drinking, they no longer looked for Wang Junlin and left to their own devices.
Five captains, Zhou Hu, Wu San, Wu Si, Jiang Muchang and Su Changqing, accompanied the wine. Wang Junlin also invited more than ten of the best girls in Chunyi Tower. Except Wang Junlin himself and Changsun Wuji, everyone
There was a girl around to entertain these people, and there were also singers dancing with them.
There is no girl around Wang Junlin. It's not that he doesn't want to, but no matter which girl comes close to him, he will turn pale with fright and tremble when he speaks, as if his whole body is poisonous. It is really meaningless.
As for Changsun Wuji not wanting a girl to accompany him, Wang Junlin didn't know the reason. Maybe it was because he saw that there was no girl around him, so he refused out of politeness, or maybe it was because he was simply not good at such an attitude.
"Brother Xian, you seem to be very curious about me!" As the two gradually became familiar with each other and began to treat each other as brothers, Changsun Wuji began to ask about the poisonous attack on Longxi City and the night attack on Turks led by Wang Junlin in the war last year.
Wang Junlin told Zhangsun Wuji the truth about the three battles of Liangcaoying and Huoshuiquanguan in a very plain language without exaggeration or humility.
Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you don't know something. In this world, who has never seen Brother Wang? Who is not curious? After all, according to rumors, Brother Wang, you have blood-red eyes all year round, a fang, and you are over ten feet tall."
, you have to drink a bowl of human blood every day. There are even rumors that the reason why the imperial court does not allow you to serve as a general in the hinterland of Guanzhong is because it is afraid that you will drink the blood of its own people, so it allows you to be stationed at the border, where you can continue to harm the Turks and Tuyuhun.
people."
"Hahahaha... This is the first time I have heard these remarks." Wang Junlin couldn't help laughing.
Changsun Wuji also laughed twice and said: "There are many rumors about Brother Wang, and there are many more exaggerated than this. If Brother Wang is interested, I can tell you some more."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Rumors only stop at the wise. Those who believe these rumors are just ignorant people who lack the ability to judge."
Changsun Wuji's face showed a strange light and he said: "It's good that a rumor stops at a wise man. Brother Wang's words are very reasonable."
"Come, for these words, I offer you a glass of wine to Brother Wang."
Wang Junlin, who was used to drinking liquor with 50% to 60% alcohol content in later generations, had no feeling at all for this alcohol with more than 10% alcohol content. He always accepted everyone who came, so he picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
Changsun Wuji also had a good drinking capacity. After drinking the wine in one gulp, he said, "Brother Wang, you must have read a book."
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "How many years have I read it?" He has taken the time to learn the ancient calligraphy of this era for more than half a year, and even read a few books that scholars like to read. Then combine them to get more
In addition to not being able to write poems and lyrics, his experience, knowledge, and logic of thinking about problems are far beyond what most people of this era can compare with.
.
"I dare to ask who Brother Wang's master is. He is not only talented in civil and military affairs, but also a master of poison." It can be seen that Changsun Wuji is extremely curious about Wang Junlin and wants to find out his details.
Wang Junlin said: "I have lived a secluded life in the mountains with my master since I was a child. The master is a strange man, so I have learned a lot of things. In addition to martial arts, I have read various books. In addition, the master has a poison classic.
, he didn’t teach me, I just learned it on my own when I was idle and bored in the mountains. After my master passed away, I came out of the mountains, and by chance joined the army and became a soldier in my Sui Dynasty. I had never tried using poison before.
It's so powerful. I tried it on a small scale last year and accidentally poisoned more than 10,000 enemy troops and destroyed Longxi City, which was a great achievement."
Wang Junlin casually said what he had said to Yu Juluo before in a skillful way. Changsun Wuji looked full of emotion and yearning and said, "Brother Wang's master is truly an unparalleled master."
That's right, Wang Junlin saw the yearning in his eyes, and then he remembered that this guy was the ruthless person who planned the Xuanwu Gate incident.
"Oh! By the way, after Master went there, I found a secret recipe for poison from Master's belongings, but I didn't recognize the words on it. Dear brother, you have learned from the past and the present, why don't you help me take a look." Wang Junlin said.
Changsun Wuji suddenly became interested, and said with bright eyes: "I am respectful, it is better to obey my orders. Brother Wang, why don't you take it out now and let me have a look."
Wang Junlin took out the content copied from the animal skin scroll from his arms and handed it to Changsun Wuji. After the latter read it carefully, he lost his voice and said: "It turned out to be Zhong Dingwen. Could it be that the Poison Classic written by Brother Wang was from the Zhou Dynasty?"
An ancient relic passed down from generation to generation?”
When Wang Junlin heard this, he was ecstatic. In the past six months, he had asked all the scholars who passed by Gaotaicheng for various reasons, but no one knew this kind of character. He didn't expect that the content written on the animal skin turned out to be Zhou.
It’s no wonder I don’t know a single word of generation.
"My dear brother, do you know what these words are?" Wang Junlin tried his best not to show too much excitement.
Changsun Wuji said: "What's so difficult about this? I can translate these words into Chinese characters now."
The so-called Chinese characters are characters that have been in use since the Han Dynasty. Until the emergence of simplified characters in modern history, they basically did not change. Therefore, they have been called Chinese characters since then.
Wang Junlin immediately asked him to bring in pen and ink, and he personally researched and wrote the ink for Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji was not polite, and after a few strokes, he translated the text in the space specially left by Wang Junlin on the paper where he copied the content.
Wang Junlin didn't take a closer look. He happily picked it up and blew it dry. He called the guard at the door and told him to put it away carefully.
At a glance, it was obvious that the translated words had messed up the content, but Changsun Wuji thought it was natural. After all, this was the secret of Wang Junlin's sect, how could it be revealed to outsiders at will.
…
…
"Zhou Tian carries the Dafa? What is this? It doesn't look like a secret method for practicing martial arts." Wang Junlin murmured to himself.
After the night banquet, the officials of the mission returned to the posthouse to rest. Changsun Wuji was also drunk by Wang Junlin and forced a girl to sleep with him. Wang Junlin returned to his mansion in Gaotai City and specifically asked no one to disturb him.
I, alone in the study, couldn't wait to take out the animal skin scroll and study the content on the animal skin scroll according to Chang Sun Wuji's translation.
"Dan is a single thing. One is a single thing. But there is no correct way, so it is called Dan. The sky can be clear, the earth can be peaceful, the grains can be full, and people can exist forever."
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Wang Junlin read the first paragraph and was speechless for a while. How could he understand such specious, ambiguous, and abstract words? Even if he could understand what it meant, he would not know what it meant.
How to practice.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. This is not a method of cultivation at all." Wang Junlin was extremely disappointed. Ever since he saw the fight between Bodo Dharma King and the weird Taoist priest at the Longxi City Prefecture last year, he had been thinking about these two people.
I have never forgotten what I cultivated. Now it seems that this profound secret method may really exist, but it is not so easy to obtain.
Putting these unrealistic thoughts aside, Wang Junlin began to think about the dangers he and Chang Sun Sheng might encounter during their mission to the Western Turks, and how they would face them. He had plans and countermeasures in mind in advance.
Although he also believed that Chang Sun Sheng's analysis was reasonable, there were always surprises in everything. Who knew whether those Turks would go crazy, so he had to make complete preparations.
