……

As soon as Wubu Ganzan returned to the general's palace, he was received by the prince of Tibet.

Ru Yan Xinpeng was dressed in a military uniform, holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, stepped into the monk's room, stood at the door, his eyes swept around the room, and finally fell on Wubu Ganzan, looked at the monk for a long time, and slowly said, "Have you gone to see the two of them?"

"Yes, Peng Xiaotian, a merchant, Lu Kangshun, a centurion, and the poor monk have just met with them. Wubu Gantsen folded his hands and replied truthfully, "The man sent by the prince has been killed by them. ”

"Hmm. The king knows. The death of his men did not elicit any reaction from him.

Ru Yan Xinpeng's expression was as usual, as hard and constant as steel.

"Since the prince did not continue to send people, he must have figured this matter out. ”

Speechless Xinpeng nodded: "Well, it was impulsive at the time, but," the right hand holding the handle of the sword tightened, showing the fear in his heart, "I didn't expect that General Duhu was not so stupid that he was old and confused." ”

"General Su has not been confused. The monk lowered his eyebrows and said lightly.

The two stood opposite each other, silent for a moment, and Ru Yan Xinpeng suddenly said, "It is impossible for them to suspect me." ”

"Impossible?" Wubu Ganzan noticed the meaning of the words of the prince of Tibet, repeated, looked up and saw the prince's gaze, and suddenly realized, "It's them? But how did they know?"

The monk's words were full of surprise.

But the reason for the surprise also woke up in an instant. After figuring things out, the monk calmed down instead.

"Just like the two monks of the Three Realms Temple who defected, the other party is not monolithic. ”

The words had a deep meaning, which made Wu Bu Ganzan, a member of the Buddhist sect, a little annoyed. The monk looked at the prince with anger, and when he saw the blue eyes like the sky, the monk quickly came back to his senses, lowered his head and folded his hands, pronounced the Buddha's name, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then opened his mouth to explain: "The Three Realms Temple comes and goes freely, and there is no defection. The prince was serious. ”

"Throwing away the interests of the entire Three Realms Temple is not considered a defection?!"

The monk continued to lower his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and said sentence by sentence: "The Three Realms Temple does not need to be raised by people, and it does not exist because of people, so why should you abandon the Three Realms Temple and ignore it? What's more, maybe the behavior of the poor monk is wrong?"

"It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, the important thing is that we will win!" Ru Yan Xinpeng found that he had nothing to say at this time, and after leaving this sentence, he pushed the door and left the monk's room.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he realized that he had never convinced the monk. In the future, it may not be possible.

Up to now, the attitude of the Three Realms Temple is irrelevant.

The important thing is to win.

As he stepped out of the room, the monk, who was still standing in place, suddenly said, "Prince, the original plan ......."

"It's business as usual. The trick of the General's Mansion will only be a trick, don't bother with it. ”

Leaving the monk's room, he headed for his room.

Now the guards in the General's Mansion have increased several times, although it is said that they let their Western Regions Alliance Army and hundreds of people protect the safety of the General's Mansion, but in fact, the five hundred Western Regions soldiers brought into the General's Mansion are huddled in the rationed courtyard, and even when one person goes out, he has to be monitored.

And although their actions are unhindered, their every move will be monitored by others.

For example, when I came to visit Wubu Gantsen this time, someone must have secretly recorded this incident, compiled it into a daily report, and handed it over to several people at the first time. Use it to analyze your own intentions.

He was still wary of outsiders.

But that's just right, too. When others observe themselves, they can deceive others.

At this time, another person who let himself bewitch appeared.

A familiar figure appeared in the corner of the cloister ahead, leaning against the edge of the railing. The light rain continued, and from time to time there were rain threads drifting across the eaves of the cloister, falling on the woman, which was easily wet in small pieces, but the woman didn't care, she kept staring at her toes, her eyes didn't move, until Ru Yan Xinpeng walked closer, and then turned her head to look at the man in uniform.

"Su Su!" Ru Yan Xinpeng called out the name, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

The appearance of this woman successfully caused waves in the hearts of the young people, although the woman had not done anything yet.

The woman was unmoved, looked at Ru Yan Xinpeng for a long time, and said, "Long time no see." ”

"yes, long time no see. ”

"Is your father okay?"

"Not dead yet. ”

"If you die, will you be able to become the king of Tibet? ”

Ru Yan Xinpeng nodded vigorously and asked excitedly, "Are you willing to be my queen of Tubo?"

Su Su looked at the young man, thought seriously for a long time, shook his head and said, "No, my father needs me." ”

The woman's hesitation made the prince find hope, and asked happily, "Isn't it Xu Heng's problem?"

"Yes, that's one of the reasons. I gambled with Xu Heng, lost the bet, and owed him twenty years. ”

"I killed Xu Heng and took your father to Tubo, can you follow me to Tubo?" Ru Yan Xinpeng looked at the woman expectantly.

However, the woman's answer was still to shake her head: "First, you can't kill him; second, my father will not leave the Central Plains Dynasty; third, forget me, I hope you are happy." ”

Ru Yan Xinpeng lowered her head and thought for a long time, thinking about a way to make the woman change her mind, and finally just sighed. Gave up that idea. raised his head and looked at the woman in Tsing Yi for the last time, shook his head and prepared to leave.

He couldn't make Su Su change his mind, just like Wubu Ganzan, there was nothing more to say. One breath calms the emotions, even the blood.

From this moment on, he felt that he no longer had a weakness.

"You came to Xijing, in addition to escorting the purple gold jade bottle, there are other purposes. ”

Seven steps later, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

He paused and replied lightly, "Yes." ”

There was no sound behind him, and Ru Yan Xinpeng didn't turn his head and walked away.

Seeing the figure in military uniform leave, the woman withdrew her gaze and stared at her toes again. Clam up.

……

In the General's Mansion, Ru Yan Xinpeng sat on the table and suddenly woke up.

The sunny weather is no more, the snow-white envelope is no more, and the words written on it are no more. There was still a light rain outside the window, and the chill seeped out from the heavens and the earth, everywhere, and there was nowhere to hide.

There was an open window in the room, and he was a little surprised to see the scenery outside through the window.

Was that a dream?

The prince sat down in his chair, closed his eyes, and rethought the scene before him. All the scenes in the sunny and dazzling room appeared in turn, and finally rested on a snow-white envelope on the table. The letter was pulled out and spread out, and the handwriting on it was beautiful, as if it had been written by a woman.

"Come and get the purple gold jade bottle tonight. ”

The simple eight words made Ru Yan Xinpeng shocked.

Jianghu princess!

The princess is really here!

For a while, panic hit his mind, making him lose his mind instantly, but he quickly adjusted and returned to his unfazed appearance.

After that, he woke up. I found myself sitting in a chair, the tea on the table in front of me still steaming.

Was that a dream?

He closed his eyes and began to gather his thoughts.

Fingers tap lightly on the table, creating a rhythmic sound.

After a few moments, he opened his eyes and stopped tapping on the table.

He picked up the tea on the table and looked out the window at the wind and rain.

"Hmph, is it really a princess?"

At the same time, an order is passed on in secret, and after many transmissions, different people start doing different things in different places. The forces that were deeply hidden in Xijing City began to operate.

……

On the southern outskirts of Xijing City, there is a small temple. It was too close to Xijing City, and it was originally inconvenient to build a temple. But nearly a hundred years ago, there was an elder in the family who believed in Buddhism, and the general of that generation was the most filial piety, and when he saw that the elders liked it, he went to the famous temple in Xijing Erfu to petition, and built a Buddhist hall on a hill less than ten miles outside the south city gate.

Nearly a hundred years later, the generals and generals of the capital have been buried at that time, but the Buddhist hall has survived intact.

The monks and monks who have stayed in the small Buddhist hall have not exceeded 100 in total.

And now, there is only one master and three apprentices left in the temple.

And on this day, unfortunately, the only four monks also went out together, which happened to be convenient for the two uninvited guests.
