Chapter 186: The sound of clattering horses' hooves
The people of the Great Wilderness have almost forgotten that the origin of the Flower and Food Festival, even those monks in the Hanging City, few of them can explain it clearly.
They just thought it was a big party.
In the eyes of Buddhists, the Flower Food Festival is a day to worship ancestors, those boys and girls dressed in retro clothes, those stalls selling local products from various countries, those things that make people feel their fingers flutter at a glance, and flowers and lantern riddles are everywhere. Who would take such a meeting as a kind of suffering?
It's a great gathering of the best things in the world.
What's more, in the last few days of the Flower Food Festival, Master Xinpan will also personally appear to explain the Buddhist scriptures.
What a chance.
The Flower Food Festival is not only a grand gathering of people and believers, but also an exchange gathering between various countries, each of which will send an envoy to the Qin State.
Datang is no exception.
This time, the envoy group of the Tang Dynasty was of very high standard, but what people didn't expect was that the envoy sent by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty was not the generalissimo Meng Zhulu, but the king of Pingxi, who is also commonly known as the general of Pingxi Guo Zhenying.
After Zhou Ding's death, Guo Zhenying's status rose, and he successfully took over Zhou Ding's position and fought with Meng Zhulu in the army.
Guo Zhenying is also a legend, when Li Hong first ascended the throne, some nobles in the west united to rebel, and other surrounding countries were also ready to move at that time, Meng Zhulu and Zhou Ding could not withdraw from the border, so Li Hong was not conspicuous Guo Zhenying at that time.
Guo Zhenying's cultivation realm is very low, even now he only has the Seven Star Realm.
He fights with his brains.
This is also known as the Confucian general.
In the first battle of Pingxi, he shined, relying on the limited 50,000 soldiers and horses, he was stunned to defeat the 150,000 soldiers and horses gathered by the nobles in the west, and this battle was also written into the history of the Tang Dynasty army, becoming a classic example, and it was often taken out for review.
After that, Guo Zhenying worked steadily and steadily, step by step to today.
The reason why he can't really replace Zhou Ding is because Guo Zhenying has no experience in fighting foreign countries.
To put it bluntly, it is incomplete to have only experience in the civil war, and experience without experience in foreign wars.
This severely limits his upside.
However, he can use the personal strength of the Seven Star Realm to compete with Meng Zhulu, which is already a legend.
Therefore, he is also fully qualified to become the supreme commander of the envoy group this time.
However, the Tang Dynasty sent a general as an envoy, which attracted the attention and vigilance of other countries.
After all, according to common sense, envoys are all civil officials.
Sending a general on a foreign visit to another country is to inquire about the military situation?
But this general is still famous for his excellent brains.
Perhaps in order to answer the suspicions of other countries, some news circulated from within the Tang Dynasty.
As for whether it was secretly circulated or deliberately circulated, no one has explored it.
After Wanghuan died, the strength of the four princes skyrocketed, and they began to try to win over Guo Zhenying.
You must know that the Four Princes already have Meng Zhulu as a backup support, if Guo Zhenying is pulled over again, the two strongest people in the Tang Dynasty military have become supporters of the Four Princes, and it will only be a matter of minutes before the Tang Dynasty changes the sky.
The emperor was in the prime of life, and he had not yet thought of abdicating to make way for Xian. Faced with the behavior of his fourth son, he was a little annoyed, so he simply found a reason to send Guo Zhenying away, so that he had no one to pull.
Guo Zhenying is also very annoying, he doesn't want to participate in the battle between the princes, and the army generals who have participated in the battlefield of seizing the heir throughout the ages have rarely died well.
So when the emperor told him that he wanted to represent the Tang Dynasty to envoy Qin, Guo Zhenying immediately agreed.
At the back of the team of the official envoys of the Tang Dynasty, about thirty miles away, there was a white carriage, which was slowly advancing.
Such a snow-white carriage is too eye-catching on the official road, it is simply a moving live target, and it is the favorite of the bandits.
However, when the bandits saw the carriage, they all automatically retreated.
First of all, the carriage was engraved with numerous intricate inscriptions, and the inscriptions were used to form a sentence.
"Dare to rob Lao Tzu and kill the whole family. ”
The lettering is not difficult, and the inscription can be understood.
But there are very few that can integrate inscriptions with swear words so well.
Plus there are two more signs on the carriage.
One is the totem of the academy, and the other is the totem of the Tang nobles.
If you use your brain a little, you can know who is sitting inside.
Where do ordinary bandits dare to come up and rob.
Zhou Fei leaned on the soft cushion, holding a silver bowl in his hand, which was full of watery grapes.
"Pounce...... King Pingxi, I don't know if he has a wife named Chen Yuanyuan...... Strike. Zhou Fei complained while spitting seeds.
Ling Zhaoyan asked curiously, "Do you still know King Pingxi's wife?"
Zhou Fei coughed twice: "I don't know, it's nonsense." ”
Ling Zhaoyan knew that Zhou Fei was talking nonsense again, so he ignored him and took out a book to look at.
The car is not bumpy at all, the interior is perfectly balanced, and it sits like a high-speed train in later generations.
The credit for being so smooth is naturally due to the inscriptions engraved on the carriage.
In order to save himself from the crime, Zhou Fei began to engrave these inscriptions half a month in advance.
The inscription minimizes the weight of the car, and there is no pressure at all on the horse. The wheels are engraved with a large number of shock-absorbing inscriptions, and the hardness of the wheels is also strengthened, which can not only ensure the life of the vehicle, but also allow the vehicle to achieve the ultimate shock absorption.
Now Zhou Fei, the cultivation realm is no longer the same as before, his sea of qi is fully open, the aura is abundant, the engraved inscription can last for a long time, and it can also realize automatic energy replenishment, that is, automatically draw energy from the aura of heaven and earth, and extend the life span of use by about double.
Zhou Fei calculated that before arriving in the Qin State, he only needed to replenish the aura of the inscription twice.
But what satisfied Zhou Fei the most was the sunroof of this carriage.
Zhou Fei misses the panoramic sunroof of SUVs in later generations too much, especially when running the Sichuan-Tibet line, sitting in the back row and opening the sunroof, seeing the stars in the sky, there is really a feeling of being washed in the soul.
But now that road is not very good at washing the soul, but it can wash the wallet.
The sky of the Great Wilderness is 10,000 times cleaner than that of later generations, and Zhou Fei has always wanted to find the feeling of running the Sichuan-Tibet line again, but now he can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, how can he give up easily.
So even if it's not dark yet, he's already opened the skylight.
Sunlight poured in immediately.
Ling Zhaoyan narrowed her eyes, the light was too strong for her to concentrate on reading.
Zhou Fei was also a little uncomfortable with this light.
"Damn, I forgot to get the sunscreen inscription. After a while, Zhou Fei jumped up and shouted loudly with the sweat of his head.
Ling Zhaoyan looked at him helplessly.
Outside, the sun was shining. I want to talk about "The Strongest Waste Material System" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
