Ji Tang

Chapter 1154 Who is the King?

While everyone was waiting anxiously, a navy officer came up to him with a strange look on his face. He glanced at his master, Master Ziguang, and said with a look of disgust, "General, you are fortunate to have fulfilled your duty. Captain Yuchi ordered me to retaliate."

"The city gate has been captured. There is no danger. General, please give us an order. What should we do next?"

Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, and said stupidly: "Are you sure there is no ambush?"

As a result, the officer who came to report was speechless and said: "General, let alone an ambush. When we arrived, there was only one enemy defender who ran too slowly and was killed by the captain. The others had already disappeared."

"General, it's not like a villain talks too much. Are we going in or not?"

Shen Zhen was speechless for a moment. What the hell is this called fighting?Even the most timid soldiers in the Central Plains, even the rebels who had just picked up a hoe, were stronger than these people.

Didn't he just run away without a fight?Is this still the country with the most powerful divine poison back then?
Bragging is not like that.

"There is no need to hesitate, General. I think I already know why."

Master Ziguang stepped forward and said, "Do you still remember the defeat of the Moro Navy at the beach a few months ago?"

"Of course I remember. This is the easiest battle I have ever fought in my life. Before anything happened, everyone ran away. If I hadn't had something important to do that day, I would have come up to see who was so bold and dared to attack Datang first. Pick the chips.”

Shi Ziguang didn't know what he was thinking at this time. Anyway, his family was so unsatisfactory, not only Moro's face was humiliated, but even his enemy who attacked him felt blushing. You might as well insist on it.

just run away?
"The general may not know that Moro was quite brave under the King of Festivals before, but in recent years his body has been drained by wine and sex. He was defeated by the general that day and ordered not to discuss the matter. This resulted in many soldiers in the city. He spread falsehoods, and the rumors became more and more outrageous. In the end, the Tang army was rumored to look like gods descending to earth to cover up his own incompetence."

"So tonight, when the monks shouted to welcome the Tang army into the city, I'm afraid everyone was already very frightened. Only then"

Shi Ziguang was really embarrassed to continue speaking, but everyone understood what he meant!
It's just that in order to cover up his incompetence, Moro asked his subordinates to pass on the miraculous skills of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty army is coming, how can this be done?If you don't run, what are you waiting for?
"His grandma's."

Not to mention Shen Zhen was dumbfounded, Wang Xuance, Ji Xiancheng and the Chai brothers behind them were also dumbfounded. Does this count as killing himself?
"Go into the city!"

Shen Zhen opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say?Do you blame yourself for leaving too great a shadow on Moro?
"Lingwu, Zhewei, you two will follow, just in case."

"There is also Master Ziguang, who is most familiar to the people in the city. Please lead the way. In addition, you must find the direct descendants of the Festival King, or the side branches of the blood, this is very important!"

Wang Xuance didn't care about anything else and said quickly.

"promise!"

Of course, the Chai brothers had nothing to say and just led people into the city.

Master Ziguang, with a solemn look on his face, spoke the name of each Buddha and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely not ruin the big event!"

When they saw the army entering the city, they stared for a long time. Apart from more and more fires, there was no sound of fighting at all. This made everyone sigh in relief.

"That's it?"

When the soldiers in the city came to report that the city had been largely cleared and the army had advanced towards the palace, everyone was shocked.But the facts are before their eyes, and they can’t help but not believe it!
If they were worried that it was a trap when they first entered the city, but all four damn city gates were controlled, if they were worried about anything else, it would be cowardice instead of caution.

Just when everyone was looking at each other, Moro, who was still sleeping in the palace in the city, was finally woken up.

"What's going on? What happened outside? Why is it so messy?"

Moro, who still didn't understand the situation, asked,

"General, the Tang army has entered the city. You must run quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

This confidant was quite loyal. When he learned that Tang Jun had entered the city, he came to report the news as soon as possible.He was panic-stricken at this time, because Tang Jun had really shocked them too much.

He saw with his own eyes that day, thousands of troops and hundreds of warships, attacked by less than ten giant ships of the Tang Army, completely penetrated deep into the seabed.That giant arrow that looked like a nightmare was simply not something human beings could resist.

Now that the army has entered the city, he really can't believe what will happen next.

"what?"

Moro was completely awake, his face turned pale, and he said stupidly: "How is it possible? How is this possible?"

"General, don't hesitate any longer. Run quickly. When I come, the army has already rushed towards the palace. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Only then did Moro realize, and he quickly said: "Let's go, let's go now. Take me to bring something!"

The guard grabbed him and said helplessly: "General, what time has it been? Let's go quickly. We are almost dead. What's the use of carrying things?"

But Moro hesitated. There were a lot of treasures in the palace, and he would really be reluctant to give them up!

He gritted his teeth and said, "You go and gather the soldiers, and I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he ran towards the main hall. The angry guard thought that he might as well just run away. He still didn't understand the situation, which was extremely stupid.But the relationship of many years is still there. To be honest, Moro treats him well, and he doesn't want to betray him unless he has to!

"Just this time!"

His expression changed and he said harshly.

After saying that, they ran outside. If they want to go out, someone must divert their attention.
When Shen Zhen, Wang Xuance and others came to the palace, the palace had already been taken over by the Tang army.Looking at the treasures scattered everywhere, Shen Zhen couldn't believe that the old capital of a dynasty was just taken over by them?
He is still in a dream until now.

"Send an order to seal off the palace and confiscate all stolen property. Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be killed!"

"Order the army to enter the city and seal the city gates. Those who attack the city gates innocently will be killed without mercy!"

"Search the whole city, and whoever can escort Moro here will be rewarded with gold, money, grain, and thousands of acres of fertile land."

"The army enters the city and cooperates with Master Ziguang to maintain order in the city. Anyone who steals, robs, or works in the market will be killed!"

"Capture Moro's cronies and those who partially surrender, kill them!"

"."

Shen Zhen quickly fell into his role. This kind of thing has been played out by everyone in the Central Plains for a long time. There are established procedures for what the army should do when entering the city.

Stabilize the city, capture enemies, collect grain, weapons, wealth, and more!
The second is to eliminate the remaining troops and enemies.

After saying this, he looked at the old monk next to Wang Xuance.

"This is Master Jiexian, the Buddhist sage who debated with Master Xuanzang back then, and the abbot of Landa Temple!"

Wang Xuance introduced.

"I've met the general, and I haven't thanked him enough for helping me with Buddhism. Once the city is settled, I will be rewarded generously!"

Shen Zhen rubbed his hands after hearing this and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say!"

"Ahem!" Ji Xiancheng coughed quickly. It's so fucking embarrassing. Even if you want something, just be more reserved. You'll almost have my desire written on your face.

"Uh, ah! It turns out to be Master Jiexian. I heard about Master Xuanzang's deeds when I was in Chang'an. Especially when I heard about the debate between you and Master Xuanzang, it was really eye-opening!"

"Long admiration, long admiration!"

"Sure enough, it's better to meet in person than to be famous, and it's better to meet in person than to be famous!"

Wang Xuance couldn't stand listening anymore and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Jie Xian, I don't know about the search for the descendants of King Jie Ri."

"This"

Wang Xuance's heart skipped a beat and he said luckily, "Is there really no one there?"

Jiexian was silent.

The silence meant that Wang Xuance had guessed correctly. Thinking of how Jie Xian had previously patted his chest to ensure that he would definitely find Jie Ri's descendants, how could he not understand now that he and others were being tricked?

"Master Jiexian, I respect you as a great Buddhist sage, so I agreed to help you. But now should you give us an explanation?"

"Does your Buddhism still want to establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth?"

Wang Xuance said quietly.

Shen Zhen also heard that something was wrong. He quietly gestured to Yuchi Baolin with his hand behind his back, and saw the soldiers approaching slowly!
"No more, absolutely not!"

Jiexian is not a fool. How could he not understand the meaning of this?
They made it very clear that day that the Tang Dynasty could help the Magadha Kingdom bring order to things, but it would never help them subvert the Magadha Kingdom. This was the bottom line.

He doesn't want to be a wedding dress for Shendu Buddhism, but now it seems that Shendu Buddhism has a lot of ambitions, but he just doesn't know if he has the ability to support such ambitions!

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation!"

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he looked at the Tang army that had vaguely surrounded them. Even a fool knew that if he didn't give an explanation to the man in front of him, the Tang army would immediately kill them and retreat to the sea.

Once the Tang army withdrew and other city-states learned that Rajgir was occupied by them, the sworn enemies of the Hindus would definitely not miss this golden opportunity.

The reason why they were suppressed before was not massacred.One is because they still have a large number of believers and their influence is too great.The second reason is that their military department has the ability to threaten their rule, so they survive.

Once they think that Buddhism is fighting for power, they will definitely kill them at all costs and turn the Shendu Buddhism into smoke.

As the Tang Army who helped them, they would inevitably become the target of public criticism and attack in groups. This was definitely not what the Tang Army wanted to see.

Therefore, it has become a top priority to find the descendants of King Harsha who have the right to inherit, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

But now something unexpected happened.
"You mean that King Harsha's nephew was killed by Moro a few days ago?"

Wang Xuance's tone instantly rose an octave, and Ji Xiancheng was also dumbfounded.

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't know how to wait," Jiexian said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Think about it again, is there anyone else? I don't believe that the majestic leader of a country doesn't even have a decent blood descendant?"

"Yes, there is one, but"

At this time, Shi Ziguang suddenly thought of something, but he hesitated mid-sentence.

"Tell me, when did this happen? If so, tell me immediately, otherwise I will wait for your Buddhism to be destroyed!"

Wang Xuance was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. If there was no other way, he would not want to stay here even if he went to Anxi by himself. What the hell is this!

"Your envoy should know that this is only the old capital. Originally, there were not many children of the royal family. In the past few years, Moro has been killing the royal family. The new capital, Qunvcheng, has now been usurped by the rebellious minister Aronashun, who even calls himself King Harsha. , not to mention that over there, in order to completely break the old minister’s mind, Alonashun completely killed the clansmen of the old King Jiri as early as last year.”

"If there is one, there is indeed one."

At this time Jiexian also reacted and suddenly said: "Are you talking about the one next to Landa Temple?"

"Not bad!"

Perhaps seeing the activation of Wang Xuance and others, Jiexian explained: "King Harsha is indeed childless, but he has three daughters. Two of them have been poisoned by Alonashun, but the little princess is in Rajagaha. And it’s in the temple next to Landa Temple.”

As Harsha spoke, everyone came to understand.

It turned out that the little princess could not be favored by King Harsh because of her mother's reasons, and because her temper often angered King Harsh, he was driven out of the palace in anger. However, she was ordered to live in the temple to avoid damaging the royal family's face outside. .

"That's it!"

Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng looked at each other and saw a flash of light in each other's eyes. The woman was good, but she was still a powerless woman. As the youngest princess of Harsha King, even though she was kicked out of the royal family, her status as a princess still remained. He has never been eliminated, and now he has become the closest direct descendant of King Harsha.

Is there anyone more suitable than her?

"Let's go and see this princess. As envoys of the Tang Dynasty, how can we tolerate rebellious ministers? We must uphold our integrity and avoid chaos for King Harsha. Anyway, the little princess is the only direct descendant of the former king. It’s our responsibility!”

After speaking, he ignored Jiexian, whose face turned dark, and walked directly outside.

When passing by Nalanda Temple, it was the first time for Shen Zhen and Yuchi Baolin to see such a large-scale temple, and their eyes almost popped out.

"It would be unreasonable for this damn country not to perish." One of the school captains said with envy.

"To shut up!"

Although Shen Zhen was sometimes out of tune, he knew very well in his heart that it was fine to say this in private, but scolding a bald donkey in front of a monk was a bit too much.

Fortunately, Ji Ri and others are relatively far away, otherwise there would be a gap in their hearts, which would be bad.

"Remember, this is Shendu, not the Tang Dynasty. What does it have to do with you even if there are monks in the whole country? Just eat carrots and don't worry, I think you are just free."

"Tell the soldiers immediately not to talk nonsense. If you spoil something big, it will be easier for you to kill you."

"promise!"

The captain shut up quickly.

However, when he saw countless pagodas and magnificent Buddhist temples, Shen Zhen still twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered: "Damn, they are all a bunch of prodigals, how much gold are they getting?"

He resisted the urge to lead an army to strip away the golden statue of Buddha, but he immediately did not dare to look at it.I’m really worried that I won’t be able to bear it anymore!

No wonder the Two Martial Arts Sect wanted to destroy the Buddha back then. If this damn thing had not been destroyed, the Central Plains would probably be no different than here in Shendu now. If he were in such a country, he really didn't know what he would be like?
A devout believer?Or a planed slave?
Anyway, I will never become a general.
