Chapter 121: Fire at the city gate

Jiang Wang was so angry with Yin Guan that he almost wanted to inform the court of Qu State.

When the general of the border town of Qu State was assassinated by Hell Wumen, Qu State issued a wanted document, vowing to destroy Hell Wumen. After finding out that the wanted order was not available, he quietly revoked it...

They have nothing to do with each other anymore. After all, Hell Without Gate is a killer organization that only does business and does not deliberately target anyone. But they still appear openly in the territory of Qu State, which means they are repeatedly jumping on Qu State's face.

Once the imperial court of Qu State learns that Hell No Gate is in Yuguang City at this time, one can imagine what kind of violent reaction there will be...

Of course, I can only think about it.

With Yin Guan protecting him, it was impossible to capture Yang Xuance, so Jiang Wang continued on his way.

After leaving Qu State and entering Zheng State, he heard a piece of news

Because the Xiang Kingdom detained the Xu Kingdom's caravan for no reason, friction broke out between the two countries. After several negotiations failed, the Xu Kingdom brazenly sent troops to conquer!

Now, the armies of Xiang and Xu have already deployed their troops in Xingyueyuan and are facing each other.

The big move that Chong Xuan Sheng mentioned...has arrived!

During this period of time, there were many more people in the Zheng Kingdom, most of them were small forces that used to hang out in Xingyue Plains.

The two countries were at war, and the Xingyue Plain was chosen as the battlefield. These grass-roots teams who had no contact with either side suddenly dispersed.

No matter how long they have been operating here, how long they have lived here, or how deep their feelings are...

If the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond will die if they don't escape.

Does the cruelty of the world stop here?

With a single line of troops, the Xingyue Kingdom and Xu Kingdom were cleared of the elephants. They looked majestic, but they were just two chess pieces in the hands of the overlord.

The seizure of caravans and the conquests for the people were all carried out by the will of the two countries, Jing and Qi.

Even if these two countries have no intention of war at all and cannot find the benefits of this war, they have to fight.

The battle between Xiang and Xu in Xingyueyuan can be regarded as a vanguard battle between Jing and Qi.

Judging from the experience of detouring around the grassland, Jiang Wang believed that the battle of Jingmu was inevitable. Before he left the grassland, Tiefutu, the sixth largest cavalry army in the world, had already marched to Liyuan City. Sheng Guo only relied on

There is no way for me to take back this important border city.

And under such circumstances, things can suddenly break out in the Xingyue Plain, and the dispute between the two countries is enough to illustrate Jingguo's arrogance.

Jing State was not willing to go to war with the two overlords at the same time, but at the same time he was not willing to let Qi State take away too many benefits, so he wanted to test the quality of Qi State in Xingyue Yuan.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Jingguo's main force will not come to Xingyue Plains. This is why Jiang Wang regards this war in Xingyue Plains as a test.

The outcome of this battle will directly determine the attitudes of the two hegemons.

If the Xu State, which is supported by the Qi State, is destroyed in one battle, it will be okay for the Jing State to fight on two fronts. On the contrary, if it is easy to defeat the Xiang State, then Qi State will take advantage of the situation and invade the central region, which is a natural choice.

But all this has nothing to do with him.

The State of Zheng is in the north of Xingyue Plain, and the Hanging Temple is in the south of Xingyue Plain.

Xiang Kingdom and Xu Kingdom are opposites.

After Jiang Wang left Zheng State, he bypassed Xingyue Yuan. Because Xu State was preparing for war, he did not pass through Xu State. Instead, he went around the eastern border of Xu State and went to Xuankong Temple alone.

This route is already very close to Qi State...

Although they have not entered the territory of Xu Kingdom, it can be expected that the atmosphere in Xu Kingdom is not relaxed. This war may be just a test for Qi Jing, but for Xu Kingdom and Xiang Kingdom, it is a battle that will cost the whole country.

The country is really in danger of being destroyed!

Some of the people from Xu State that I met occasionally on the road were going to Qi State under various names, so everyone Jiang Wang met looked gloomy.

In such an atmosphere, Jiang Wang finally arrived at Xuankong Temple.

But how to contact Jingli?

He was in trouble.

No one would pay attention to the linen cloak coming to his door like this. But he is missing now and it is difficult to make his identity public.

Jiang Wang wandered around the grounds of Xuankong Temple for a long time, and finally found a clever-looking little boy on the street, stopped him, and was about to speak.

The little boy turned around and ran away.

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that with his cloak, linen clothes, and dragon-headed staff, he really didn't look like a good person.

The people in the Xuankong Temple's territory are all ordinary people, and presumably no one knows him.

He took off his cloak, put away the dragon-headed staff, and looked for the target again. He found a handsome little boy and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Kid, how about you do me a favor?"

He took out a piece of broken silver and shook it in his hand: "Just run an errand, this silver is yours."

The little boy actually put his palms together and saluted him: "If you have something to say, please tell me, I don't want any money."

"Ah?" Jiang Wang was stunned: "Why."

The little boy's expression was very serious: "I am willing to do one good deed every day."

It deserves to be called the Hanging Temple, the Eastern Holy Land of Buddhism!

Looking at the child's clear eyes, Jiang Wang felt ashamed.

As an "adult" who is about to reach adulthood, he has almost adapted to the so-called "reality" of considering issues based on interests, but he has forgotten that life... does not require reward for everything.

"It's me who is vulgar and has almost polluted my little friend's pure heart." Jiang Wang clasped his hands in return and said warmly: "Then can you help me go to the mountain gate of Xuankong Temple to find a monk named Jingli? Just say that I am here

Wait for him here."

"If he asks me, who are you? What should I say?" the little boy asked.

Jiang Wangdao: "Let's just say he is the person who made an appointment to treat him to dinner on August 9th."

The little boy nodded, turned around and started running.

As the eastern holy land of Buddhism, the territory of Xuankong Temple is not smaller than that of countries like Xiang and Xu.

However, the place where Jiang Wang asked for help was not far from the mountain gate outside Xuankong Temple.

After about an hour, which was probably spent mainly on asking for instructions from Zhi Ke Monk, with his bald head and polished face, he flew over quickly with the little boy who brought the message in his arms.

"Junior brother!" He shouted in surprise from afar: "You came to see me?"

Jiang Wang quickly made a silent gesture.

Flying closer, the little boy in Jingli's arms was a little surprised: "Brother, have you been waiting here all this time? Why don't you find a place to sit?"

"We agreed to wait here." Jiang Wang smiled and handed over a paper bag: "You worked hard running errands. I bought some pastries and fruits for you to eat."

The little boy waved his hand to refuse.

Jiang Wang had already added: "It's not a reward, it's a treat for a friend to have snacks. You help me run errands, and I treat you to something to eat. This is called reciprocity."

The little boy looked back at Jingli. After all, he was the holy monk of Xuankong Temple, which made him trust him.

Jingli looked solemn and said with a smile: "This is also the law, there is no need to push it away."

The little boy then took the paper bag and said to Jiang Wang, "Thank you, big brother."

Jiang Wang returned the gift and felt comfortable watching the little boy holding the paper bag and leaving briskly.

Children are sometimes like a mirror. When you look at this mirror, you can easily notice changes in yourself.

"Woooooooo." Suddenly a burst of crying sounded next to him.

Jiang Wang turned his head, and just now he looked like an enlightened holy monk, but now he was bursting into tears: "Junior...Junior brother, we, we don't have a master now!"

Jiang Wang was shocked, his heart ached, and his nose became sore: "What's wrong with Master Kujue?"

Jingli burst into tears: "Master...Master...he's gone!"

"How did you leave?" Jiang Wang was shocked, angry, sad and guilty: "Are they those thieves from Jingguo!?"

"Take off...leave the mountain gate!" Jingli sobbed.
