Chapter 553 Hope Always Comes Out of Despair

After the old monkey heard the news of Bagman's death, he was silent for a long time before saying to Yunchu, "The Great Tang Dynasty has completely abandoned the dignity of warriors."

Yun Chu said, "We didn't give up, we just made a choice when pursuing the warrior spirit."

The old monkey said again, "The death of Bagman will make the warriors on the Gobi launch a surprise attack on you without any warning."

Yun Chu said in surprise, "Did they have the advance warning you mentioned when they raided the Datang caravan before? I don't remember such a thing."

"The strong should have mercy"

"Why do you think of talking to me about this? Don't forget that I grew up in the Western Regions, and I have never seen any strong man with a benevolent heart."

If it wasn't for my cleverness, viciousness, and ability to use poison, Selema would be snatched away by those who are not strong, and Naha would be snatched away by those who are as fat as pigs. I am good at raising sheep , They just want to take it away, I am good at weaving whips, they just want to take it away for nothing, I have seen too many people who have been ravaged by the strong, so when I meet the strong, I usually like to kill the strong Or, at least let him lose the ability to harm others.”

Even if Bagman is not killed by the bomb thrown by the prince, I still have a bomb in my arms. If I feel that the situation is not right, I will throw the bomb to kill him."

"Do you think you can make the people of the Western Regions submit to you just by using bombs?"

"I think it's okay, as long as I have enough bombs"

The old monkey has lost his voice again. He has used bombs before. He knows the power of this thing. Experts like Bagman were originally recruited by various tribes and countries in the Western Regions. In Datang, after throwing a few bombs, I can't find anything, and the old monkey also knows that it only takes a consistent amount of money to make a bomb in Datang.

And how much money does Bagman need from birth to adulthood?Not to mention the very expensive things like martial arts training, not to mention, in the Western Regions, there will only be one person like Bagman in many, many years.

Such a person is worth a lot of money in Datang, almost equal to the price of a pig, not the kind of castrated top fat pig that Jinchangfang needs.

Those who have grown up by luck for decades are destroyed in an instant.

If the old monkey was from the Tang Dynasty, he wouldn't be so awkward. The problem is that he is from the Western Regions, so he is worried about those people in the Western Regions.

Yunchu brought three thousand elites out of Yumen Pass, and it was said that they were doing business. The old monkey knew clearly that Yunchu's purpose was to rob.

He even hopes to get support from the horse thieves, mountain thieves, and sand thieves along the way, and provide them with enough supplies to travel long distances in the Western Regions.

As for the Stone Country, it must be bad luck.

most of the time.

The old monkey thinks that he is not a reasonable person. Now, in front of the Datang group, his unreasonable behavior can almost be called a gentleman.

"Are you going to the Western Regions?" Yun Chu asked, knowing that the old monkey would not go.

"No, Junior Brother Yuan Zhe will go"

Hearing the old monkey talk about Master Xuanzang, the most low-key disciple, Yunchu was rather displeased.

Because this person himself is a child of the royal family of the former Silla Kingdom.

Yunchu subconsciously has a strong sense of distrust towards people other than Datang’s own clan. On this point, he is far less broad-minded than the natives of Datang. In fact, Yunchu is not a real Datang person either. , he is only a descendant of Datang people, so for a long time, Yunchu classified his love for Datang as fanaticism of converts, this bad category.

Later, when I thought that the bones of my ancestors were returning to ashes and ashes on this land, I firmly believed that I also belonged here, and that I should make things better here.

"Why Master Yuan Ce?" Yun Chu still asked.

The old monkey smiled and said, "I'm still from the Western Regions. Why can you accept me, but not Yuan Ce, who looks like you?"

Yun Chu frowned and said, "You should know."

I am a person who likes to doubt others very much, and I am also a person who likes to speculate on new acquaintances with malice
'

In my world, everyone is guilty first, and after a long period of mutual understanding, the sinner is exonerated.”

"You think Yuan Ce is guilty?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's not like you don't know how I survived in the Western Regions, if you don't have this thought"

I'm dead long ago"

The old monkey sighed and said, "Xuanzang is born with generosity and kindness."

You haven’t accepted it to the slightest bit.”

Yun Chu dismissed it, this dead monkey obviously got a bargain, and at this time, he was still acting like a good boy.

For this long trip, almost the entire city of Chang'an was in motion, from preparing goods, to preparing camels, to preparing ordnance, arranging routes, Yun Chu, Wen Rou and the others were busy without touching the ground.

When the time comes to July.

Chang'an City is still unbearably hot, but the road to the Western Regions has begun to cool off gradually.

This time of year is a good time for caravans from the Western Regions to drive their camels back to the Western Regions, and it is also the day when Yunchu's army leaves Chang'an.

"Bring me a lot of money back..." This is Li Hong's farewell words from the bastard.

"Find me the best piece of warm jade, my wife wants to use it..." This is Li Shen's earnest expectation.

"Bring me back some beauties from the Western Regions..." This is the hope of Liang Jianfang, an old bastard who is still in a wheelchair and still lustful.

"Xianzun, go all the way..." Master Master Wan has been an official for so long, but he still can't speak.

"I don't know what to say, but when you come back, I may think of what to say." This is nonsense that Di Renjie said.

"I was going to see you off, but now I put myself on the road." Zhong Kui, who was dressed in Taoist robes, did not escape Yun Chu's plot after all, and embarked on the road to the west inexplicably.

Yunchu saw Changsun Chong in the shed, smiled and raised his hand, drew his bow and shot an arrow at him.

The feather arrow landed on the beams and pillars of the shed, and there was a note on it. After reading the note on the feather arrow, Chang Sun Chong waved at Yunchu, chewing and swallowing the note. His movements were very secretive, and only Yunchu saw it. most clearly.

The team led by Yunchu should be the largest friendship mission with the largest number of people, the largest number of goods, and the highest standard sent to the Western Regions since the founding of the People's Republic of China by the Tang Dynasty.

Because Yunchu also carried the decree written by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the kings of the Western Regions, and the letter from the Honglu Temple to various tribes in the Western Regions affirming friendship. Of course, he also carried a lot of Buddhist scriptures. Since then, they have been bathed in the light of Buddha, and the people of the Western Regions have lived a happy and healthy life since then...

Yu Xiurong and his gentle wife accompanied the children all the way to Xianyang Bridge, and then reluctantly went back.

When the three thousand cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who were waiting here stepped on the newly built Xianyang Bridge, Yunchu heard the rumbling drums and the soaring suona. This was the most grand farewell gift given to them by the folks in Chang'an.

Since the Xianyang Bridge was blown up by Yunchu, the old wooden railings have been replaced with iron railings, which are then connected with iron cables. There is a long row of iron-cast animal heads on the iron railings, which look a little more sturdy and less Very feminine.

When Ruan Wen walked onto the Xianyang Bridge, he didn’t want to take a carriage. Ever since he witnessed Yun Chu’s bombing of the bridge, he was very resistant to crossing the bridge. He heard from Ruan Wen’s wife that he even went to the pool at home. All the small stone bridges were demolished.

In fact, he didn't dare to cross the bridge, but he didn't dare to cross the bridge when Yunchu was not around. The explosion on the Xianyang Bridge that year has been deeply imprinted in Wen Rou's mind, and it is indelible.

He liked to lead the horse and walk across the bridge with Yunchu.

You can also stand in the middle of the bridge and express your ambitions to the surging Weishui.

"I heard that His Majesty is going to allow the nobles to leave the Yumen Pass in the west, and allow them to enclose some land in the Western Regions, and then plant cotton, flax, spices, and chickpeas on these lands.

You feel

Where should I circle the land in the future? "

Yunchu laughed when he heard that, it seems that the Wen clan has already started planning things in the Western Regions.

"The closer to Yumen Pass, the better, and the land is flat and there is a water source, it will be fine."

"Tell me, do I feel a little greedy when I get [-] mu of land?" asked Yunchu gently and carefully.

Yunchu calculated the size of 660 mu of land in his head, and found that it was only a piece of land of [-] million square meters, which was no more than thirteen miles long and two miles wide.

Thinking of the terrifying family population of Wen Wen's family, he smiled and said, "People from the Western Regions who have such a large ranch are all targets of bullying. Why, do your Wen family have no money or no one?"

Gently and tentatively, "You mean it can be made bigger?"

Yunchu pointed to Naha's carriageway just passing by, "Naha's place is more than a hundred times bigger than the place that your house wants to make."

Gentle raised her hand to say hello to Naha who was lying on the window looking at the Weishui, "You can't talk to Nahabi, she represents the entire Buddhist sect, God knows how many monks will come from the Central Plains to the Western Regions to preach in the future, what they made is a The kingdom of Buddha is not a manor"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "What do you think is the purpose of such a Buddhist country existing in the Western Regions?"

Gentlely said, "This life is not good, you can pray for happiness in the next life"

Yun Chu took a long breath and said, "What about you?"

Gentlely said, "Compared with the next life, I care more about what we have for lunch"

"Do you think people from the Western Regions will believe it?"

"I will believe it"

"Why?"

"Unable to change the status quo, seeking happiness in the next life is the only way they can go"

"Sounds fake—"

"If you believe it, you still have hope. If you don't believe it, you have nothing. If this is the case, wouldn't the suffering in this life be in vain?"

Yun Chu licked his lips and said, "It really makes sense."
