Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 722 Chapter 741: Betray Li Hao
The mountain road is very wide, but the three Tubo monks did not give way, and came to meet Xu Jingzong and his cavalry. Metal sounds can be heard on the ground.

Seeing this, the cavalry captain raised his hand to stop the cavalry, stared at the three monks, and asked sharply, "Who are you! Why are you blocking my way!"

A middle-aged monk with a dark face and no need to be short in the lead stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Dear Tanyue, the poor monk is an ascetic monk. After walking for a day, he is very thirsty. I would like to ask Tanyue to donate some water to quench his thirst."

As soon as he heard that it was a monk who came to beg for alms, Xu Jingzong immediately showed impatience, and drove forward and said: "There is no water, go away, I have something urgent, don't get in the way!"

"Tanyue, the heavens have the virtue of good life, and the Buddha has the ability to save the world. If Tanyue is connected with the Buddha, the merit is immeasurable. Please donate some water." The black-faced middle-aged monk was still smiling. Although he was asking for alms, but When speaking, there was an aura of his own, and he could not see the meaning of begging at all.

Xu Jingzong also saw that the monk's aura was unusual, and felt that something was wrong, so he winked at the cavalry captain at the side, and said softly, "Catch them."

"Yes!" The cavalry captain responded, and suddenly raised his spear, staring and shouting, "Catch them!"

As soon as the words fell, a few cavalry rushed up, startled suddenly, but the three monks did not show the slightest surprise, their movements were even faster than this group of cavalry, only to see the leading black-faced monk suddenly grinning forward, Shaped like a ghost, he shrank his body, dodging the cavalry captain's spear, and then suddenly became shorter, as if he had become a dwarf. He held a magic pestle and knocked on the horse's leg of the cavalry, and the cavalry wanted to stab him with a spear. , but saw him crawling around under the horse's belly at an extremely fast speed, dodging the spear frequently, knocking off all the legs and feet of all the horses, all the cavalry were turned on their backs, and the two monks behind had already shouted. Before that, he raised and lowered the magic pestle and beat the cavalrymen. Just as the cavalrymen fell off their horses, before they could get up, they were smashed in the head by the magic pestle.

Xu Jingzong looked at all this in shock, and couldn't believe his eyes. The movements of the three monks were so fast. In just a moment, fifty cavalrymen were killed, and he was the only one left. The light rod commander.

The black-faced monk came to Xu Jingzong's horse's head with a smiling pestle in his hand, and said with a sneer, "Tanyue, come down."

Xu Jingzong was terrified in his heart, he got off the horse with trembling hands and feet, and stood there with his legs shaking like chaff.

The black-faced monk walked around him and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

"Xu...Xu Jingzong..." Xu Jingzong answered truthfully.

The black-faced monk nodded, and signaled with his eyes the other two monks to come forward and search the body. After searching for a while, the two monks found a military document and seal, and handed them to the black-faced monk.

The black-faced monk looked at the document and the seal, and grinned: "Hey, the official is not small, and he supervises the army!"

Xu Jingzong laughed dryly and dared not answer.

The black-faced monk stuffed the document and the seal into his arms, and said with a smile: "You may not know the poor monk, but the poor monk is King Dalun Ming, Basuyan, Tubo national teacher."

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he asked in surprise: "The Tubo national teacher of Dalunming King once went to the Tang Dynasty, but Xu remembers that it was not you, the master."

"That's right, that's the poor monk's senior brother, Basuto." Basuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "However, the poor monk's senior brother is not good at learning. Lost in the Tang Dynasty, the poor monk is the most talented person in Dalun Temple, so he naturally wants to take over the positions of the Great Lun Ming King and Tubo National Teacher, and besides... this position should have belonged to the poor monk."

Basuyan didn't feel sad at all because of his senior brother's death, on the contrary, when talking about his senior brother's death, he seemed to be very happy and proud.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly laughed: "Yes, Master Xu Mouguan has profound Buddhist teachings and superb martial arts, especially above the master's senior brother Basu Tuo."

"Don't flatter." Basuyan sneered, "Why do you say these words, now you are a prisoner of the poor monk, you answer the poor monk's questions, if you answer wrong or don't answer, every time, the poor monk The monk will break off one of your legs, if you don't have enough legs, you still have an arm."

"Master, just ask." Xu Jingzong tried his best to calm down, and even bowed in a big salute, and said, "Xu must know everything without saying anything."

"Okay." Basuyan asked, "This time when the Tang Dynasty sent troops to conquer Tubo, it was obviously Qiongnan King Li Hao who was in command, but why was a female general leading the army, and Li Hao was nowhere to be seen? Where is Li Hao hiding? conspiracy?"

"This..." Xu Jingzong didn't expect him to ask this kind of question directly, betraying the whereabouts of the chief of the army, that would be tantamount to treason.

Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Basuyan stared at his legs, sneered and muttered: "Do you want to break the left leg or the right leg first?"

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "Master, wait a minute, just listen to what Xu said."

"Oh, what do you have to say, hurry up, the poor monk will break your leg after you finish talking."

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "Master, Li Hao is the general manager of our Tang army. If Xu tells the master his whereabouts, it will be a death penalty. Can the master promise Xu to give Xu a way out? Xu is just a prisoner." The army has never hurt a single soldier of Tubo, so I beg the master to raise his hand."

Hearing this, Basuyan sneered: "Now that your life is in my hands, do you still dare to negotiate terms with the poor monk?"

Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard the words, and suddenly said coldly: "Master, if you are so ruthless, then Xu can only bite off his tongue and say nothing, and you will never know where Li Hao is."

Basuyan was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect that he would actually threaten him, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Jingzong is just a small person, and Li Hao is a big fish, don't lose the big fish because of small things, once he figured it out, Basuyan nodded and said: "Okay, the poor monk promises you, if you tell Li Hao's whereabouts, the poor monk will let you leave safely and not move a hair of your hair."

"This is not enough." Xu Jingzong said, "Master, you must not tell this matter, otherwise Xu will not escape the court's prosecution."

Basuyan frowned when he heard the words, he was very unhappy, but in order to get Li Hao's whereabouts, he said: "Okay, I promise you not to tell this matter, otherwise the poor monk will be tolerated by the Buddha!"

Seeing him make the oath, Xu Jingzong was relieved a little, but he was cautious, stepped forward to lead the horse, got on the horse, then pointed to the northeast direction, and said: "Master, Li Hao is four hundred miles north from here. There are a hundred cavalry guards beside him, and two or three masters with strong martial arts are close to protect, and it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to get close."

Basu Yan frowned and said: "How does this poor monk know whether what you said is true or not?"

Xu Jingzong said: "The master will know the truth when he is gone. If what Xu said is not true, the master does not have to keep his promise and announce today's events. It will ruin Xu's reputation, which is not tolerated by the Tang Dynasty."

"En." Basuyan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's very credible to hear what you said, I hope you didn't lie to the poor monk."

Xu Jingzong said: "Master, don't worry, Li Hao and I are enemies and not friends. Xu has long wanted to get rid of him. If Master takes action, Xu can't ask for it. In addition, I will tell Master a good news. Li Hao is currently seriously ill, and he can't even speak. It's all quite laborious, as long as Master can get rid of Li Hao's guards, capturing Li Hao will be as easy as capturing a baby."

Basuyan sneered coldly: "You Tang people like to fight in the nest the most, but this is... a good thing for us Tubo."

Xu Jingzong laughed dryly, and thought to himself: "Isn't it the same for you Tubo, internal disputes continue."

After laughing, Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said, "Xu wishes Master that he can take down Li Hao smoothly."

Basuyan smiled, waved his hands and said, "Get lost!"

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he was so happy, he kicked the horse's belly and ran away.

Watching Xu Jingzong leave, a bearded monk stepped forward and asked, "Master, why didn't you kill this man?"

"What's the use of killing him?" Basuto glared at him and said coldly, "This Xu Jingzong is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he seems to be Li Hao's political enemy, which shows that he likes to play tricks. Being above the Great Tang Dynasty Hall is a great blessing for us Tubo."

The pale-faced and tall monk said: "Master is right, besides, we now hold the handle of Xu Jingzong, which may be of great use in the future."

"That's right!" Basuyan sneered darkly, "This is also what the teacher thought, otherwise how could he let him go so easily! Well, without further ado, let's go find Li Hao quickly, if we can capture Li Hao alive , will definitely solve the Tubo crisis!"

The bearded monk heard the words and asked worriedly: "Master, don't we inform Da Lun first? There are a hundred cavalry beside Li Hao, and there are masters guarding them. There are only three of us. I'm afraid it will not be easy."

"Trash, such a coward!" Basuyan snorted coldly with staring eyes, "A master? How high can he be? As a teacher, he stepped into the realm of a master for a long time, and he also practiced yoga Tantra to the supreme state. No one in Tianzhu has ever reached such a level, can the master next to Li Hao be an opponent as a teacher?"

"What about the hundred cavalry..."

Basuyan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and slowly said: "This matter, we should outsmart..."
