Chapter 255: Getting Cowardly When You Get Old?

Scrubbing is really a hassle.

Whether it is cleaning saline-alkali land in Datang, or washing another kind of land in later generations, it is very difficult.

On the contrary, the kind of land that washes away future generations in the Tang Dynasty has become simpler.

When Xuanzang came back from thousands of miles away, the Buddhist sect found that Xuanzang had a tendency to become a big boss, so they tried their best to build momentum for Xuanzang.

Then, it came out that Xuanzang met a banshee on the way to learn scriptures. After he read the scriptures, the banshee disappeared.

Another time when Xuanzang was crossing a black water river, an old turtle spirit learned that he was going to the west to obtain scriptures, so he asked Xuanzang to ask him how many years he could live. As a result, after Xuanzang arrived in Tianzhu, I forgot to ask the Buddha about it. On the way back, I was thrown into the water by the old turtle and almost drowned.

Another cripple, but a filial son, did not want his mother to drink well water. Every day he had to go to a stream ten miles away to fetch clean water for his mother to quench his thirst. It was quite difficult, and Xuanzang read a passage After that, the legs were healed, and there was a clear spring on the ground for no reason...

In fact, there are more and more embarrassing stories circulating among the people, and it is these stories full of loopholes that became the pretext for Li Chunfeng and others to attack Xuanzang.

As a result, "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er" produced by Yunchu turned out to be another authoritative storybook besides "Da Tang Western Regions" written by Xuanzang himself.

From the moment it was born, it became popular throughout Chang'an, and within three days, it made Luoyang paper expensive, and after that, this book has reached the point where it is hard to find.

Naha stood at the head of the bed, holding a shriveled gourd and yelling at the old monkey: "Call you Monkey Grandson, do you dare to promise?"

Then, Monkey Sun pressed her on his knee and beat her severely.

People in Jinchangfang were the smartest. A few days later, the streets of Chang'an were filled with children wearing the masks of the Tang monk, master and apprentice. Some were playing with sticks, some were holding rakes, and some were holding shovels. There are also those who wear a Tang monk mask and mutter and chant scriptures indiscriminately.

With good-sounding and interesting new stories, who would tell those old-fashioned stories instead? I believe that within a year or two, not many people will remember those embarrassing stories anymore.

It is really easy to wash Xuanzang's land, mainly because he has a really good reputation, what he has done is unprecedented, and he can shine in Tianzhu. He is a real hero.

Even if those stories lowered his image, but because Xuanzang's status was too high, it didn't have much impact.

After the old monkey beat Naha, he was about to leave Chang'an again and return to the Hexi Corridor to do what he hadn't done before.

Yun Chusheng was afraid that the old monkey would die, so he specially gave him two bombs. After explaining how to use them, he took the old monkey to the Qinling Mountains to test the power with a stone, and the old monkey looked at Yunchu again. up.

Because this thing is not a weapon belonging to the world at all.

Yunchu was not worried that the gunpowder formula would leak out, even if the old monkey disassembled the bomb, he would have no way of knowing what the gunpowder formula was.

Not to mention that this thing has turned into small round particles after adding egg white and shaking it in a sieve. Under the current conditions, no one can analyze what kind of material it is made of.

Not only will they not think about this aspect, but they will develop their brains on the power of ghosts and gods. After all, when it is beyond human power, people's first thought is ghosts and gods, such as the second son of Kua'e.

Yun Chu was actually very ashamed. He thought that two or three catties of gunpowder would be able to blow up that one hundred catty stone, but he didn't expect it to be broken into two pieces.

"This thing explodes when it sees fire, be careful."

When Yunchu was seeing off the old monkey, he saw him carrying the bomb in his arms, so he whispered the precautions.

"Don't worry, the old monk won't use this until it's a life-and-death moment." The old monkey gave Yunchu a reassuring look, and left Chang'an on a camel, continuing his trip to Dharma West.

In March, Yunchu made another visit to Yinggong's Mansion, and this was the first time Yunchu came to see him since the last time he got unhappy.

The meeting with Yunchu this time was completely in accordance with the rules, and the invitation was delivered six days in advance, and on the third day, Liu Yi was sent to Yinggong's mansion to ask for a reply, and it was confirmed that Yinggong would meet him three days later, so he prepared for four days. If you don't want a gift, visit Yinggong at home.

The reason for coming here is entirely because there is no news from Tuyuhun, whether it is from Li Jingye or Zhang Jianzhi, and even Fei Jiu has no news at all.

Lu Dongzan, Lun Qinling and his son are not easy to deal with. I don't know if Li Jingye is here. The two tigers have slapped flies on their heads.

Yunchu met Yunchu according to the ceremony, and Yinggong also met Yunchu according to the etiquette. Both parties were very polite, just like strangers.

"Dare to ask Mr. Ying, dedicated..."

"Xu Jingye has been expelled from the house by the old man. Now his surname is Xu, and his life and death have nothing to do with me, Mrs. Li."

"Oh, boy, I understand. I just want to ask Mr. Ying if he knows the whereabouts of Zhang Jianzhi and his party."

"As you wished, Zhang Jianzhi instigated Tuyuhun's downtrodden nobles to raid Chishuiyuan, Tuyuhun's royal court, where they burned, killed and looted for six days before disappearing without a trace.

The old man thought he had gone to the Western Regions by detour, and even sent a letter to Lao Cheng. As a result, there was no news of them in the four towns of the Western Regions.

Boy, whether it is Xu Jingye or Zhang Jianzhi, it is just a trivial matter. Now, your old friend Pei Xingjian killed the deputy commander Wang Wendu in Bailang Mountain. I will ask you now, do you want to stand by and watch his affairs? ? "

Yun Chu spread out his hands and said, "Did Ying Gong think that this kind of thing was done by me, a small organ from the sixth rank?"

Yinggong stared into Yunchu's eyes and said, "Why don't you ask Pei Xingjian why he killed Wang Wendu?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Pei Xingjian is not a lunatic, nor is he the kind of person who ignores the momentary anger. Since he killed Wang Wendu, it means that Wang Wendu has a way to kill him."

Yinggong looked at Yunchu for a long time before he nodded and said, "At last Pei Xingjian did not misjudge you.

Wang Wendu claimed to be carrying His Majesty's orders, and once asked for military power from the old Cheng Shu, delaying the progress of the army, causing Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian to return empty-handed from the trip to Bailang Mountain. I think you can understand what kind of behavior this is. "

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Wang Wendu deserves to die, even killing Wang Wendu's nine clans is not an exaggeration."

Yinggong continued: "Nowadays, some people say that Pei Xingjian killed Wang Wendu out of selfish grudges!"

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "Personal grievances?"

"That's right, there are rumors in the army that Wang Wendu fell in love with a concubine of Pei Xingjian's army, the two had a dispute, and Pei Xingjian killed him with a knife.

One is that Wang Wenjia delivered the imperial decree, and the other is that Pei Xingjian killed Wang Wendu because of personal grievances. Which one do you believe more? "

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji with a pale face and said, "Could it be that Cheng Gong's strangulation of Ashina Helu in the Western Regions did not go well?"

Li Ji said coldly: "Old Cheng walked to Yingsuochuan, and met He Lu's strong army of 500 riders. His former army commander Su Ding, Fang Shuai Pei Xingjian and other [-] riders galloped to meet the attack. He Lu was defeated. He chased for twenty miles and killed More than [-] people were captured, and the horses and equipment captured were all over the mountains and plains, invincible.

At present, the army has marched to Hengdu City, and the thief is just around the corner. "

Yun Chu asked again: "Why did Pei Xingjian kill Wang Wendu and not someone else?
Is it because he has committed crimes and meritorious deeds? "

Li Ji said indifferently: "How many things before the army can be done according to people's wishes, even the famous generals who are victorious will inevitably be defeated.

Since entering the army is itself a piece of material, once it comes to a critical moment, even if he uses his physical body to pave the way for the horse, he has to go. "

Yun Chu whispered: "Is Wang Wendu really pretending?"

Li Ji looked into Yunchu's eyes and said: "There is no doubt that Pei Xingjian should not have killed him, but should have been escorted to the capital for questioning. Now, his killing has completely destroyed the situation that could have been salvaged."

Yun Chu looked at the extremely desolate Li Ji, and he suddenly understood that Cheng Yaojin, a famous general with all victories, could no longer expect Cheng Yaojin to achieve anything in the Western Regions.

Perhaps Wang Wendu was really trying to make a false accusation, but Cheng Yaojin succumbed to the false edict, which made Li Ji feel sad.

The famous generals in the prosperous age of Zhenguan no longer have the heroic spirit of the past.

Now, Cheng Yaojin didn't even have the courage to fight to the death to find Ashina Helu. He just wanted to find one or two scapegoats.

Find a way out for yourself first...

"Is Pei Xingjian going to wait to die like this?" Yun Chu, out of nowhere, roared in front of Li Ji with a burst of anger.

Li Ji's eyes lit up, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "Why, if you were Pei Xingjian at this time, what would you do?"

Yunchu's face twitched and he said: "Put Ashina Helu to death, exterminate his descendants, exterminate his tribe, and take his head back as a sacrifice to the Taimiao."

"What if Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian refuse to do this?"

"Then let them die."

Li Ji nodded in satisfaction and said: "This old man thinks so too, well, you can go back."

Hearing what Li Ji said, Yunchu understood that Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian probably planned it this way, and even started to implement it. As for Cheng Yaojin, he might have lost the respect of Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian.

When Yunchu walked to the door, he heard Li Ji say, "Xu Jingye robbed and killed Lu Dongzan's daughter. After being humiliated, he hung his body on Riyue Mountain. Lu Dongzan swore revenge, cut his face in Lun Qinling, and claimed that he would never die."

Yun Chu stopped in his tracks and said, "Where is the man now?"

Li Ji sighed and said: "I don't know, if one day I go to war, would you dare to serve under my command?"

Yun Chu smiled slightly and said: "The lower official is now a civil servant, a local official, Chang'an, don't ask me for anything outside of Wannian County."

After finishing speaking, he left the Yinggong Mansion.

Knowing that Zhang Jianzhi and Fei Jiu were there, Yunchu was in a very good mood. It seemed that Zhang Jianzhi did not suppress Fei Jiu after all, but was taken to the hidden Dahe Valley by Fei Jiu to hide.

As for Li Jingye... Oh, Xu Jingye, Yunchu will let him die.
