Chapter 37 Prelude to the Great War

"Report! Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the border gate..."

"Report! King! The Turks are coming..."

In the palace of the King of Qi, the courtiers on both sides were trembling, and no one dared to look up at the King of Qi sitting on the dragon chair.

"You say! What should I do now?" Half a sound, the king of Qi half-explored his son from the dragon chair and looked at the minister below.

"Your Majesty, since I became independent, I have been quarreling with Dazhou. Now the Turks have suddenly invaded. I'm afraid there is a reason for the incident. In my opinion, I will send 200,000 troops to fight." He Shi opened his legs and stood up.

"Oh - who do you want to send?" The king of Qi narrowed his eyes in the hall.

"I recommend one person." He Shikai bent down to the king of Qi to the end. "His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, as a descendant of the royal family, is loyal to Daqi and has excellent martial arts skills. What's more, at the Buddhist Conference, he talked very happily with Wei Xiaokuan, a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Turkic prince. He heard that he also had a school competition and sent a treasure bow to the Turkic prince. Now that the Turks are coming to invade, His Royal Highness the King of Yilanling and the two can be a condescending soldier without fighting... Please give me permission!"

Talking to Shi Kai like this, if the King of Lanling refuses to fight, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of the enemy. If he fights, Xu Sheng will not be defeated. If he wins, it can be said that they collude with each other. If they do, they are also collude with each other. With one stone and three birds, the King of Lanling has nowhere to retreat.

The king of Lanling knew in his heart that He Shikai took revenge on himself because of what had happened before. However, there is no refutation in the court. The only thing he can do is to stand up: "I am a general of Daqi, and I should work for myself. Please beg the king for your approval..."

Coming down from the court, the king of Lanling handed over the Mingguang armor given by the king to the deputy general, and then handed down the order to rectify the army, order the grain and grass, and set out to go on the next day.

The deputy general watched him step out and couldn't help following him. The king of Lanling waved his hand and said, "You go and prepare yourself." As he jumped on his BMW, several little men followed him and went out of the city gate.

Out of the city and at the foot of the West Mountain, he threw the rein and the servant picked him up. Seeing that he was going up the mountain, he said, "Your Highness?"

"It's okay. You wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I'll go up the mountain and have a look. The King of Lanling. Several starts have gone a long way.

Only when I arrived at the temple did I know that Qingyin had come down the mountain and lived in Ye City.

When the King of Lanling found the Qingyin house, he saw that it was a high gate compound, and the two vermilion doors were closed.

The little man came forward and patted the door. Not long after, a strong man came out to open the door and saw the king of Lanling welcome him in.

Qingyin, dressed in a light white gown, is discussing things with Dao Ming in the room. Daoming has bought 20 or 30 strong servants to live in another secluded house. At the same time, he sent two groups of people out to find a place to live.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of people, the cost is also much larger. Most of the money in Qingyin has gone to the bank. I felt anxious.

I'm discussing with Dao Ming whether to rent the fields in the suburbs first, or at least to feed these people.

Daoming didn't understand this. He just listened to Qingyin's instructions to do things, but he couldn't come up with an idea.

Since traveling to ancient times, for the first time, Qingyin felt that a person's two hands were really a little overstretched and unable to do it. Thinking of Gongsun Yi's opinion about doing business, he heard Xiaobai say that he still went back to his house to help his stepmother that day, and he complained less about him. But he felt that he interfered in other people's housework and spoke bluntly, which seemed to be a little inappropriate. In short, it is inappropriate.

Just as he was about to go back and change his coat, he heard the gatekeeper Chen report that the king of Lanling asked for a meeting.

The voice is too clear to change clothes. The King of Lanling has stepped into the yard. At a glance, I saw the voice in a light white gown, bald and plain, and the white clothes were not as deep as the monk's robe, but they were a little bright and bright, which made people's eyes bright.

"His Royal Highness the King of Lanling. I don't know what's going on today?" Qingyin was greeted by Zen Master Daoming and welcomed the King of Lanling into the house.

Noting the politeness in the clear tone, King Lanling's eyes darkened, and he said with a smile, "I'm going to the border gate tomorrow. I'm here to visit you."

The voice makes people set up tea. When I heard that the king of Lanling went to the border gate, I couldn't help looking up at him, but I couldn't see what was wrong with his face. Emergency report at the border gate? Or is it the kind of military pressure on TV?

Otherwise, why do you have to go to the border gate so suddenly?

Master Daoming was also shocked and couldn't help looking at Qingyin. Qingyin asked him to go out to find a place where he could live in peace. Before the people who went out came back, the king of Lanling suddenly went on an expedition. Qingyin, is it really the reincarnation of a monk? Why did you go to Ye City? There are differences everywhere.

When the king of Lanling saw that the master and apprentice was speechless, he looked a little uneasy. He knew that his news came suddenly, but he didn't know that they had other ideas, so he comforted him: "The border is uneasy, and it is common to transfer troops. Daqi and Da Zhou have been fighting continuously since the predecessor emperor, and the two sides know the deployment of each other's troops..." Thinking of the addition of the Turks this time, Daqi became the enemy and couldn't help saying, "As long as the king is still here, he can stabilize the country. I'm afraid of the thieves such as He Shikai... You don't have to worry too much if you are a monk and don't suffer from the disaster of war."

Qingyin and Master Daoming smiled bitterly. He answered a few words to the king of Lanling. The king of Lanling saw that the two of them looked bad, so he said goodbye.

After coming out, I sat on the horse and saw the closed door. A tree protruding from the courtyard wall stretched out, and his eyes were dark. Dao Ming was always by his side and had a lot of words. It was too late to say.

The horse kicked the ground uneasily, like the owner's restless mood. The little man didn't dare to get on the horse, but took the rein far away.

Finally, the king of Lanling pulled the horse's head and resolutely went.

At the corner of the street, Gongsun Yi turned around. Next to him, a man followed far behind with a food box.

Looking at the ponytail in the distance, the dust splashed like smoke. Inexplicably, he had a feeling that his tranquility would be broken.

When it comes to the house rented by Qingyin, the door is still closed. Gongsun Yi went up and knocked on the door, and the man stood aside with the food box. Soon, the door opened and welcomed the master and servant in.

Gongsun Yi walked quickly and passed through the garden corridor, which was the master's house behind him. Qingyin is walking in the courtyard.

When she saw Gongsun Yi, she stopped. I just remembered to find him, but I didn't expect this man to come so soon. The embarrassment was too late to rise, and it was only replaced by an unexpected face.

Gongsun Yi took the food box in the clerk's hand and asked the clerk to go back to the store to help first. He smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard from the little white girl that you moved out of the temple and didn't have time to come to help. Today, I brought a few good dishes. Congratulations on your relocation."

Qingyin muttering, it's a rented house, not a house bought. But in his heart, he couldn't help slandering. Why didn't this man understand the color? He was told by himself the day before yesterday. Today, he is so happy and has nothing to do.

Master Daoming came out of the side room when he heard the sound, took the food box, put it on a stone table in the yard, and opened the lid of the box. It was six hot dishes with three vegetables and three meats, which were fragrant and appetizing.

Qingyin has been lying on the table staring at the dish. Xiaobai is indeed her good sister. Not only is the style of the dish different from what she usually eats, but the best thing is that the ingredients are abundant. The slowly piled up of the mountain is high, which is absolutely enough for her to eat.

The delicious food is in my mouth, and I see Gongsun Yi attentively putting luxury for her cloth dishes, no matter how angry she is, it will subdue. What's more, there is no anger in the first place.

Qingyin put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth while pointing to the stone stool on the side of the round table.

The autumn is high and refreshing, the autumn chrysanthemums in the courtyard are in full bloom, and Wei Ziyan is yellow, which is also unique. Gongsun Yi did not refuse, so he sat down. Seeing Qingyin happy to eat, a red lip stained with flour sauce, I couldn't help laughing.

Master Daoming refused to eat with Qingyin. I brought two plates of vegetarian dishes and went to eat.

The chopsticks are not put down until the sound is clear on the plate. Reach out and rub your swollen abdomen. The two best meals I have had since crossing are made by Ruyi Restaurant. It seems that I have to feel this favor!

"The King of Lanling has just come." Qingyin first said the most important thing, "Say that you are ordered to go to the border. What does Gongsun think about this?"

Gongsun Yi was Yilin when he heard it. He remembered that he had just seen the heavy but rapid horseshoe sound, "When will the king of Lanling leave?"

"It's tomorrow morning."

Gongsun Yi's heart sank when he heard this. Da Zhou and Da Qi have been against the enemy for many years, and have fought several battles since the previous king. Later, the king of Qi died one after another, and it was passed down to the hands of the current king. The king was indecisive but became a sycomer again. He Shikai monopolized the government and almost became the king's right-hand man. Everyone in the court knew it.

The Gongsun family opened a silk farm, which also has a number on the border of Dazhou. It has been known for a long time that the current king of Dazhou is the king of Zhongxing. Now when he heard that the king of Lanling received the order to go to war, he couldn't help but thump in his heart.

"If so, I'm afraid the war is not far away. You and I want to plan early. If Da Zhou contacts the Turks, Da Qi will be destroyed. Gongsun Yi sighed.

Qingyin nodded, thinking of every war in history, the change of dynasties is full of sorrow, but he crossed over at the right time, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

Then he said tentatively to Gongsun Yi, "I don't know what kind of strategy Gongsun Brother has?"

Gongsun Yi did not hide it from her: "My Gongsun family is in an unknown valley two hundred miles away from Ye City. There have been pastures for generations. Because the terrain of the valley is hidden, it has not been found by outsiders. If Da Zhou and Da Qi fight, the whole family may have to move in to avoid disaster. I just don't know what you are going to do?"

Qingyin smiled bitterly, "The master came from Shoucheng. It's not far from the border. I'm afraid that if the war goes together, it will be inevitable. These days, people were sent out to look for a secluded place, but there was no news.

Gongsun Yi muttered: "Well, if so, it's better to avoid the valley with us. It's just that it's early, and we can't be too anxious. As long as it is not a slaughter city, everything can still be preserved. With that, a pair of eyes looked at the voiced sound deeply.

The two people were worried about the current situation and had more topics.

In the next few days, Gongsun Yi delivered food to Qingyin every day. Even Dao Ming saw something strange, but Qingyin pretended to be deaf and mute.

After a few days, the King of Lanling sent a letter, saying that the war was not necessarily, but only a few games with the Turks. The battle was won, but he was ridiculed by the group of Hu people for his face as a woman. He came sissy to lead the army to fight, which was too feminine. It's not as heroic as the man of Zhou.

With a clear idea, he ordered someone to make a ferocious mask and bring it to the King of Lanling.

Since then, every time the king of Lanling fights, he must cover his face with a mask to cover his soft beauty. When those soldiers saw such a ferocious mask, their morale was also boosted, and the battle was even more brave. Following the King of Lanling, they were not afraid of being laughed at by those barbarians. They actually won several games in a row.

Those Turkic soldiers only sent another good general, and saw that the morale of the other party was like a rainbow. Unexpectedly, they did not dare to fight and retreated beyond the border.

The cooperation between the Great Week and the Turks has come to an end. The two sides are at a tto-end.
