retaliate

Chapter 1071 Let the world change its surname

The light of the knife flickered, and a Taoist flew upside down. In mid-air, his broken arm fell down, blood was sprayed from the mouth, and he screamed:

"This is Pei Jiu's sword technique!"

The Taoist had gray beard and hair, and staggered back after landing, looking at Yang Xuan's back with horror in his eyes, "Yang Xuan, how dare you hide Pei Jiu's son!"

"go!"

Another Taoist retreated quickly and said, "This matter must be reported to Chang'an!"

"Stop him!"

Several Taoists joined forces, and the sword light flourished.

Two horned dragon guards rushed over from the side, the old Taoist desperately stopped, "Go! Tell the temple master that Pei's saber technique has reappeared in the world!"

Bah!
He was blown away by an iron rod, and when he landed, blood continued to overflow from the corner of his mouth, his throat surged up and down a few times, and that memory emerged in his mind.

Under the imperial city, Pei Jiu stepped forward with a knife.

The sword flashed, and above the palace city, the emperor and his son squatted down in panic.

Immediately, the knife light hit the city wall and exploded.

Chang Sheng was on the palace city at that time, and he was not far away.

Witnessed that knife with my own eyes.

Just before, Pei Jian beheaded two people with the same knife, and cut off his arm.

Pei Jiu...

That is the emperor's eternal nightmare!
After the palace change, Emperor Wu was put under house arrest in his bedroom. Li Yuan and his son were busy cleaning the court, but they didn't know that Emperor Wu secretly sent a handwritten letter to northern Xinjiang.

Immediately, Pei Jiu rushed to Chang'an with his guards, and Li Yuan and his son, who thought that the northern Xinjiang army would follow up, were almost scared to pee.

Afterwards, someone was puzzled and asked his friend after drinking, "Why didn't Emperor Wu let Pei Jiu lead the army to serve the king?"

At that time, the northern border army was an existence that could coerce the Northern Liao Dynasty. If Pei Jiu led the army to serve as the king, Chang'an's hearts were uncertain and he would definitely not be able to defend it.

No one knew what Emperor Wu was thinking at that time.

She recalled Pei Jiu, who was loyal to her, with a handwriting.

The monarch and his ministers toasted and drank the last glass of wine.

Immediately, Emperor Wu died, and Pei Jiu committed suicide in front of the imperial city.

Before his death, Emperor Wu left a message that there is no need for any inscriptions to show his achievements.

Li Yuan pretended to be filial, and said: "Aniang, the steles are all ready, just waiting for the engraving!"

Emperor Wu shook his head, looked past him, and looked into the void.

"Then, the wordless stele!"

Later, someone said that Emperor Wu had seen through Li Yuan and his son thoroughly, and knew that if Pei Jiu was not recalled, the first thing Li Yuan would do after ascending the throne would be to strangle Beijiang.

At that time, the angry Pei Jiu led his army to the south, and Datang would be over.

Some people say that Emperor Wu has affection for Datang, but he has no affection for Pei Jiu.

But the love of the emperor lies in the country and tens of thousands of people.When a person conflicts with the interests of the world, the emperor should abandon that person without hesitation.

But Pei Jiu's tragedy moved the world with emotion.

His children and grandchildren are reported to be missing, and some say they were strangled by the emperor.

For this reason, Jin Yiwei also arrested a few market women who muttered about this matter.

But what I didn't expect was that today, Pei Jiu's sword technique appeared in Beijiang.

Right next to Yang Xuan.

Pei Jian strangled the remaining Taoists and just wanted to chase them.

"No need."

Yang Xuan stopped him, walked in, and bowed to the statue, "It's an offense to commit crimes outside this place."

Pei Jian put away his knife and said, "Duke, if the news reaches Chang'an..."

"so what?"

Yang Xuan walked into the main hall, seeing the dust on the statue, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"The false emperor will use this to attack the Duke."

The false emperor is good at attacking public opinion, which is one of the reasons why the father and son can gain a firm foothold after the palace change.

Yang Xuan picked up the three sticks of incense on the case table, lit them, saluted, put them in the incense burner, and asked, "Do you trust gods?"

Pei Jian nodded and shook his head again, "I believed it at first, and I was quite devout."

"and after?"

"Later... on the way to escape, Xiaguan still believed in it. Until the moment I learned the news of my father's suicide, I was sad and wanted to ask the gods..."

Pei Jian looked at the statue, "I would like to ask the gods, my father is unparalleled in his life, he has a clear conscience towards the Tang Dynasty, the emperor, his colleagues, his subordinates, the common people, and his friends. Such an ending?"

"Did the gods ever entrust dreams?" Yang Xuan asked.

"Never!" Pei Jian's face with Chinese characters showed a hint of sarcasm, "My father has gone, but the villain has become an emperor and enjoyed all the glory and wealth. The officials are thinking, this is the way of heaven that the gods want to show Is it? It doesn’t take morality as the most important thing, but judges heroes by success or failure. From then on, the lower officials don’t believe in any gods.”

"Actually, the so-called prosperity and wealth are not necessarily enjoyment. For example, the false emperor seems to enjoy it, but he has never had a peaceful life. He is suspicious all day long, even when facing his parents, wives and children. Later, he He even strangled his eldest son to death with his own hands. Do you think this is enjoyment?"

Pei Jian was silent.

"I think this is punishment!" Yang Xuan said: "When I'm at this point, only after enjoying the wealth and honor that I can enjoy, do I realize that all of this is just a dream, and it will disappear with one poke. So, Pei Jian, let it go!"

Since arriving by his side, Pei Jian has been taciturn.I have nothing to do and seldom communicate with colleagues, walking alone.

This is a general, if not done well, he will be a handsome talent.

Yang Xuan didn't want to see the big talent he valued become a psychopath.

"It's difficult for the lower officials to calm down."

"It's a good thing you didn't perfunctory me."

"The subordinate dare not."

"Why don't you dare? For example, old thieves often lie."

Hearing the sound, the old thief who came with someone stopped outside, with a look of embarrassment.

"The old man often said with a serious face that he was going to inspect, but when he went there, he was abducted to the brothel. He often took his second child with him..."

Old thief: "..."

Yang Xuan turned around and saw him, and said with a smile: "Most of the time, look more openly. In the world, good and bad depend on each other. It looks like a disaster in front of you, but it hides a blessing. It looks like a bunch of flowers in front of you, but there is a crisis hidden in the dark... Then People will pay the price."

Pei Jian's tiger eyes were reddish, "Yes!"

Loyalty!
At this time, the two horned dragon guards came back to plead guilty.

"That person actually ran away."

"Run and run."

Yang Xuan said indifferently: "Now I have Song Zhen and Luo Cai by my side, both of whom are thorns in Chang'an's eyes. So what if there is another son of Pei Jiu?"

He patted Pei Jian on the shoulder, "From today onwards, restore your real name!"

Pei Jian knelt down, "Thank you, Mr. Lang!"

No one wants to remain anonymous, either because they have to or are forced to.

Pei Jiu stood up, as if she had been completely reborn.

The old thief asked: "How do you feel?"

"It seems to have unloaded a burden!"

The Taoist flew all the way, not daring to stop even if there were no pursuers behind him.

This way, he escaped to a house outside a certain city in Sangzhou.

"Open the door!"

blah blah blah!
The door opened, and the door saw that it was the Taoist who came last time, so he asked, "Is the Taoist priest looking for Alang?"

"Quick, help the old man in!"

The Taoist rested at this moment, his whole body loosened, and he was sweating profusely. He seemed to be weak, his complexion was bleak, and he looked like a ghost.

When a middle-aged man heard the news, he was shocked and asked, "Who did it?"

The Taoist stood firm and looked at the door, and the door hurriedly retreated.

As soon as he left, the Taoist gasped and said, "Send a message to Chang'an that Pei Jiu's son is by Yang Xuan's side."

He slumped.

"Pei Jiu has a son called Jian, and Yang Xuan has a general named Zhou Jian by his side. Zhou Jian and Pei Jian...what a thief!"

The man's expression changed drastically, "Pei Jiu?"

That name that resounded throughout the North!

Haven't heard of it for a long time.

"Go!" the Taoist hissed.

"Prepare the horse!"

The middle-aged man set off with three horses on his back.

……

After the palace change, Li Mi paid for his meritorious service, with Jianyun Temple as the first contribution, and wanted to build a mountain gate for Jianyun Temple in the city.Chang Sheng declined without hesitation.

There are mountains outside Chang'an City, and the mountains stretch like a dragon dance.The most famous of them is Yanshan Mountain.

In the former dynasty, Yanshan Mountain was a sacred place for practitioners. Many people traveled thousands of miles to Yanshan Mountain to find a cave or build a thatched hut by themselves to seek truth.

Gradually, Yanshan became famous, and the emperors of the previous dynasties invited the best among them to be officials, which made Yanshan the No. 1 mountain in the world...

"If you talk about famous mountains in the world, there are majestic, beautiful, and majestic... But Yanshan is mediocre." Chang Sheng said with a smile: "Some are just fame and fortune."

Beside him is his younger brother Jian Yun.

Jian Yun looked much older than Chang Sheng, with thin cheeks, "The shortcut to Yanshan Mountain has attracted many people with fame and wealth. But the real person, many people outside said that the real person chose Yanshan Mountain as the location of the new mountain gate, just to seek fame."

Chang Sheng lightly stroked his beard, under the winter sun, his slender hands looked extraordinarily white, even women's jade hands could not compare.

"After the change of the palace, Your Majesty discussed the merits, and I built the Cloud Temple as the first one. Your Majesty planned to vacate a place in the city to build a mountain gate for me to build the Cloud Temple. But the old man declined without hesitation. Until now, many people in the temple People are still dissatisfied with it.”

"There are so many dignitaries, believers, and incense in Chang'an City." Jian Yun said: "After all, cultivation costs a lot of money!"

"Your Majesty rewarded a huge amount of land at the beginning, and collected countless grains every year. This is also the foundation for my rapid expansion of Jianyun Temple. Since there is no shortage of money and grain, why stay in the city? Powerful believers, these are the icing on the cake. You want You know, people are sluts!"

Jian Yun was startled, "What the real person said..."

Chang Sheng said: "People have been seeking since birth, seeking food and drink, seeking fame and wealth, seeking desires... When they desire, they are impatient and anxious. After seeking, they feel disappointed, but that's all. Therefore, the easier it is to obtain Things, the more people look down on them. Do you still remember those years, Junior Brother?"

"Of course I remember." Jian Yun sighed: "At the beginning, our Jianyun Temple was unknown, and the monks gathered in Chang'an every year, and the real person took us there... We went there respectfully, but we were treated with cold eyes."

"Still not satisfied?" Chang Sheng asked.

"Yes, every time I think about it, the old man still feels uneasy." Jian Yun rubbed his lower abdomen.

"The old man was quite depressed at the beginning, but later he figured it out." Chang Sheng smiled and said: "When your strength is not good, your show of favor will be regarded as flattery by others. This is something that is easy to get."

Jian Yun was stunned, "What the real person said made me suddenly enlightened!"

"That's why the old man declined His Majesty's reward for building a mountain gate in the city, and brought you to Yanshan. Since arriving in Yanshan, how have the believers been?"

"More and more."

"People are born with great fear, fear of birth, old age, sickness and death, fear of poverty, and fear of being unknown. As time goes by, one needs to seek for enlightenment and sustenance, and Fang Wai was born due to luck. If Jianyun Temple is built in a busy city, few people will take it Let's take it seriously. But when we get to Yanshan, which is far away from Chang'an, let's take a look..."

Jianyun Temple is located on the top of Yanshan Mountain, and Chang Sheng and Chang Sheng are standing on the cliff outside the mountain gate at this moment.

On the mountain road, more than ten pilgrims are walking slowly.

"What you ask for is the most memorable."

"The meaning of the real person is that people cannot be freed easily."

"Back then, some ascetics from Fangwai went to the Western Regions to obtain scriptures. When they returned, the Central Plains were shaken. Many years later, they are still talked about. Brother, if those scriptures were within reach back then, there would still be people doing it for them Shocked?"

"The old man understands, coming to Yanshan is not a bad thing."

Jian Yun said with admiration: "The real person has planned strategies and made my Jianyun Temple flourish..."

"The old man has said so much, but it is not the lifeblood of my Jianyun Temple."

Jian Yun was stunned.

This is the foundation of Jianyun Temple!
"My lord, now my Jianyun temple has a population of countless fertile fields, and there are many children in the temple. I am the number one outside Chang'an. Why doesn't it matter?"

"Junior brother, look!"

Chang Sheng pointed to the distance.

Standing on the top of Yanshan Mountain, when the weather is fine, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an City.

The weather is fine today.

Chang'an City, which looks like a chessboard, came into view. Even after seeing it countless times, Jian Yun still praised: "What a Chang'an City."

"What you see is Chang'an City, but what this old man sees is Fengyun!"

Chang Sheng said: "The people of Shegu have risen in the extreme north. Coupled with the attack from Northern Xinjiang, the good days of the Northern Liao Dynasty are numbered. Once the Northern Liao Dynasty is destroyed, where will the powerful Northern Xinjiang Army go? Many fools in the court are instigating Your Majesty Use troops against northern Xinjiang..."

"Your Majesty probably won't!"

"He's old." Chang Sheng sneered and said, "You didn't realize that in the past few years he seems to be unparalleled in power and skill, but Datang is still gradually losing control. Once Chang'an opens his mouth to bite Beijiang, Yang Xuan will definitely bite back. Immediately, the army went south... Junior brother, the situation is about to move."

Jian Yun was shocked when he heard this, "Is there going to be a big mess?"

"Yes, there is going to be chaos. Once there is chaos, where will my Jianyun Temple go?" Chang Sheng looked at Chang'an City with his hands behind his back, "Yang Songcheng and others are secretly opponents with my Jianyun Temple, so the King of Yue cannot be used by me. But the old man thinks After a long time, the one who finally ascended to the throne can still only be King Yue. As King Yue ascends the throne, my Jianyun Temple is at a critical moment of life and death. Therefore, we must move!"

"What does the real person mean, let's fight Yang Songcheng and the others?"

"No!" Chang Sheng said: "Do you know why the old man advocated moving the mountain gate to Yanshan? It's not because you can't ask for it, and it's not to whet the appetite of believers. Look at Chang'an City."

He pointed to Chang'an City and said: "Looking at Hongda, Yang Songcheng and others' power in the city is deeply entrenched, and His Majesty holds Chang'an's guards... If they choose to attack, I, Jianyun Temple, will be doomed. Therefore, only by breaking the cage can we gain great power comfortable!"

"Really, it's impossible for them to do anything to me, Jianyun Temple?"

"When the situation changes, it cannot be controlled by them, nor by us!"

"We are Fangwai, just sit and watch the world." Jian Yun said: "It's been like this for many years."

Jian Yun smiled and said, "What is the real person worried about?" His smile gradually froze.

There seemed to be two flames burning in Chang Sheng's eyes.

He slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the direction of Chang'an City. From this angle, this grabbing seemed to hold the entire Chang'an City in his hands.

"How about changing the world's surname?"
