"Your Highness, why did you summon the two of us here?" Wan Ren asked.

Yuan Qin also looked at Yelan with a pair of round eyes, and Xiao Changle was also staring at Yelan curiously on the side.

"Tomorrow, let's go to the Buddha City of the Western Song Dynasty. Yelan said unfathomably.

"Buddha City?" the three of them looked at each other.

Buddha City is the most prosperous place of Buddhism in the Western Song Dynasty, most of the Western Song Dynasty people are barbarians of the Western tribes, they do not believe in any Buddhism, but the residents of the Western Song Dynasty have the Central Plains people, the Central Plains people believe this, they in order to stabilize the people's hearts, stabilize the Central Plains people, specially built a Buddha city, let the Buddhist missionaries settle here, and gave this city to them.

Most of the people of Jiuchen believe in Buddhism, and the soldiers are no exception. Although Wan Ren and Yuan Qin were not so fanatical, they still respected the Divine Mansion very much.

"Your Highness wants to... Boost morale. Xiao Changle understood what Yelan meant.

"In today's battle, the morale of our army has recovered a lot, but I originally thought that I could lead Yan Chi out of the city, as long as he led the army out of the city, Hai Shengyue sent troops to occupy the central capital, and Hu Yanchi galloped back, we could join forces with Hai Sheng Yue and annihilate the Western Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Highness's clever plan. Wan Ren and Yuan Qin appreciated.

"In addition, Changle, you prepared a letter for me, instructing Lie Yu to lead the army to follow up, and in the end, I still need his help. ”

"Good. Xiao Changle agreed.

The next morning, the army was diverted to the Buddha City, and Ye Lan had greeted the missionary boss of the Buddha City and given him a lot of money, and the man was happy to help Ye Lan. When the Jiuchen Army entered the city, the Buddhist monks bathed and cleansed, stood on both sides of the city gate, and chanted the words in their mouths, "Amitabha, Amitabha." ”

The soldiers were very strange when they saw it, and they looked at each other, not knowing why they were like this. The Buddhist master walked slowly and nodded to Yelan, who dismounted and bowed respectfully.

"Amitabha. The master clasped his hands together and slowly opened his eyes, "Good, good." ”

"I don't know what the master means by this?" Yelan humbly asked, smiling inwardly.

"Dare to ask the donor, but it's from the south. The master asked.

"Exactly. Yelan replied.

"Amitabha~" The master took out the Buddha beads, pulled a few beads back and forth, and said "Amitabha." ”

"Lao Wei watched the stars last night and calculated that an army would come from the south to pass through my Buddha City, but I didn't expect to see the donor today. ”

"I wonder what else the master has calculated?" Yelan asked.

"The old man calculated that the goal of this army was the West, and it would eventually return victorious. The master pretended to be profound.

"Thanks to the master's auspicious words, the master's blessing. Yelan pretended to be happy, and the soldiers under him were in a commotion when they heard it, and they all talked about it, and their faces were full of joy.

"So said the master, then we will be able to return to the court victoriously?" said one soldier to the other.

"No, the master speaks most accurately. The other nodded wildly.

"Quiet!" Wan Ren straightened out the military discipline, and the soldiers quieted down.

"Since the old man is destined to be with the donor, the donor will temporarily live in my Buddha City today and leave tomorrow. The master pinched the beads.

"Thank you, Master. Yelan arched his hand.

After the army entered the city and settled down, Yelan ran to find the master just now and handed him a bag of broken gold, the master had a happy look on his face, he folded his hands, "Thank you, donor." ”

"The master is polite. Yelan smiled, "There's one more thing to trouble the master." ”

"Donor, please. The master asked.

"Tomorrow, I hope that the master will give me a richly decorated peace charm in front of the soldiers and everyone, say some auspicious words, and thank the master for his kindness. ”

"It's just a small thing, although the donor can rest assured. The master responded.

"Then it's hard work. Yelan gave up.

......

Feather Battalion

"Your Highness, there's a letter from the King of Light. The subordinate said.

Lie Yu took the letter with a satisfied expression on his face, "Yelan said let's send troops to support, inform the army, and gather tomorrow to march to the west." ”

"Yes. Just as his subordinates were about to retreat, Lie Yu stopped him, "By the way, is there any news from Bei Yao's side recently?"

"No, no. The subordinate said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth has already arrived in the capital, and the journey has been safe. In the past few days, he has been close to the prince of Qi Guo, and the two are often together. ”

"With the eldest grandson Chi here, there shouldn't be an accident. Lie Yu nodded, "Let's go down." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

......

De'an Palace

Emperor Zhaolie's ban was automatically lifted within a few days, and now Lie Wuxue has regained his freedom and can enter and leave the mansion at will.

"Your Royal Highness, the prince of Qi will set up a polo match in his enclosure tomorrow, and invited the young ladies of Kyoto, you see... Do you want to go?"

"Is Lie Beiyao going?" Lie Wuxue asked rhetorically.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth has always had a good relationship with the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Ninth will not refuse the invitation of the Prince. The staff said.

"Prepare a set of polo clothes, and this king will go tomorrow. Lie Wuxue smiled, "It has been a few days since Lie Beiyao came back, and this king has not seen this sister yet, and he misses it very much." ”

"Yes, then the subordinate will give the order. The staff said.

......

Buddha City

The sun sets, and dark clouds hit. Outside the window, there was a slight drizzle, and the rain hit the plantains, making a crisp sound.

The snow melted by the rain, and the entire Buddha city was detached from the snow, and there was a slight shadow of walking towards spring.

"Your Highness, now that the morale of our army has been greatly boosted, I am afraid that Hu Yanchi will not be able to sit still and will make some moves. Xiao Changle said to Yelan.

Yelan took a sip of hot tea nonchalantly, "Whatever he wants, I just want to end this battle quickly, clean up the mess, and go back to Kyoto." ”

"Your Highness misses Kyoto?"

"But there's still a lot to do, and I can't afford to spend this time. Yelan tugged at the corners of her mouth, "You've been coming here for a while, don't you want your father?"

"Like a father. Xiao Changle nodded, "But it's rare to have such an opportunity, I want to follow His Highness to break into this world outside the nine dusts." ”

"Although Hu Yanchi has the recklessness of the Western Song Dynasty people in his bones, he is the overlord of the Western Song Dynasty generation after all, and he has subdued many small tribes, so he has some means. ”

"Murong Yongci hasn't made a move yet, and the most critical battle has not yet come. Yelan said coldly, "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you really think clearly." ”

"Life and death are fate. Xiao Changle said, "My father also gambled with the sky step by step with his life back then, and came to this position step by step, as his daughter, I naturally have the backbone that the Xiao family should have." ”

"Okay. Yelan said lightly, "Tomorrow we will gather the army, and then the master will pretend to boost morale, and we should have a head-to-head confrontation with Hu Yanchi himself." ”

"Why is Your Highness so anxious? Don't stay in Buddha City for a few more days? ”

"Nope. Yelan shook his head, "If there are too many, those soldiers will be suspicious and won't believe it." That's it, take advantage of this momentum to fight quickly. ”

"Hu Yanchi, is there any news from His Highness?" Xiao Changle asked.

"Ask. I heard that Hu Yanchi had just made a fire and scolded several of his generals, and now he called his gang over to reprimand. Yelan smiled, "I'm curious about how Hu Yanchi will deal with me." ”
