Chapter Seventy-Five: A Letter from Home Worth Ten Thousand Dollars
The boulder fell from the top of the mountain, several soldiers who couldn't dodge were smashed into 'meat' mud, and two war horses were also hit by the boulder and flew up and fell into the bottomless cliff......
Zhao Hao spat out, bypassed the rocks and continued to move forward, turning a blind eye to the big pool of 'meat' mud under the boulders, such a scene will always appear, those Dali people who have not been killed have gone crazy, and will sneak attack the army as long as they have the opportunity-
Traps, crossbows, rolling wood, stones, all kinds of poisonous insects, obviously the map marked a drinking place to drink, when you arrive, you will find that it is either blocked, or there are a few dead bodies or some rotting pigs and sheep lying in the water.
The army marched with a very purposeful 'sex', that is, it went all the way forward arrogantly, the Shama Department was destroyed, and the Wind Pipa Department also fell into a sea of fire, not only this. There are two stockades, and there is no grass everywhere the army goes......
Zhao 'Ting' has evolved to the point of squatting next to the dead body to eat, and the famous noble son of the capital is now bearded like a ruffian.
Zhao Hao himself is no better, as long as he sees that ghost-like face when he drinks water, he will miss his days in Tokyo.
The army stopped again, and when he heard that he had met the caravan of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Hao didn't understand that his people were burning, killing and looting in Jianchang Mansion, but these merchants could continue to do business leisurely, and the shopkeeper of the caravan he met last time even said that the business was good!
", if you take this 'jade' of Lao Tzu to the city of Tokyo, if you sell it for less than fifty yuan, Lao Tzu will give you the head."
After a while, the noise came from the front, Zhao 'Ting' opened his mouth and smiled, pointed to Zhao Hao and said, "There is another big wrong." β
Zhao Hao smiled and began to pack up his equipment again, the hanging of the gunpowder bomb needs to be redetermined, yesterday a guy hung the gunpowder bomb on his chest. As a result, he was roasted by the heart goggles on his body for a day and exploded, and the tragic situation was simply impossible to see, and the two brothers around him were seriously injured, one half of his face was gone, and the other heard that he could only go to the palace on an errand in the future, this bloody lesson Zhao Hao planned to learn. He wrapped all the gunpowder bullets in silk cloth and hung them on his chest, and as for the shiny armor with heart guards, he would not touch it.
The caravan came from the front, passing by Zhao Hao, and when Zhao Ting's side came, the guy who looked more like a villain than a businessman asked in a sharp voice: "Brother, have you seized anything, if there is, give it to my brother, and leave it on you." My brother will help you change to 'handover' in Doushaguan, and it will definitely be sent to your home. β
After speaking, he patted the signboard behind him and said: "Shuzhong Commercial Bank, the gold-lettered signboard, I guarantee that there will be a lot of you." β
Zhao Hao just shook his head, and Zhao 'Ting' took out a one-foot-tall Green Tara Buddha statue with extremely beautiful carving from the horse bag on the back of the war horse and said to Shang Jia: "Don't be greedy, this thing is not for sale, but I need you to send him to the Light Car Governor's Mansion in Macheng Alley in the capital, how much does it cost!" β
The shopkeeper smiled: "Green Tara, also known as Dora Bodhisattva and Dora Guanyin, has a total of twenty-one. All are the incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
This statue is now a young 'female' appearance, and the whole body is green 'color'. One side and two arms, showing compassion. Wearing the crown of the five Buddhas, wearing all kinds of jewelry, wearing various 'color' heavenly clothes, and wearing a heavy skirt to show solemnity, sitting on the Bodhisattva's throne on the lotus 'flower' moon wheel. The right foot is in a trampling position, and the left foot is flexed. Place your right hand outward on your right knee to make a vow seal, hold the 'flower' of Ubara, and place your left hand in front of your chest. Also holding the 'flower' of Ubala.
Practicing this tantric method can break the cycle of birth and death, eliminate demonic obstacles, karmic obstacles, sickness, etc., and can eliminate disasters, increase blessings, prolong life, and expand wisdom ......"
Zhao 'Ting' didn't have the patience to listen to him say these words impatiently: "Tell me how much it is, three months will be the birthday of the old grandmother in the family, he said that the old man has always respected the Buddha, I just want to take this Buddha statue as a birthday gift to the old grandmother, what do you say about this." β
The shopkeeper's 'exposed' mouth full of yellow teeth and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, listen to my brother, you have to honor the ancestors of the family, this is great filial piety, brother, how dare I collect the money of my brother who is fighting outside, I didn't say it, I will definitely send this thing brother." β
Listening to what the shopkeeper said, even Zhao Hao, who has always been indifferent, was surprised, these businessmen are all vampires, and they have always been the masters of picking 'meat' on the mosquito's 'legs', how could they do this kind of money-losing business.
Zhao Hao didn't speak, and seeing that the shopkeeper's words hadn't finished yet, he pulled Zhao 'Ting', who was going to thank him, and waited for him to continue.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Brother turned out to be the son of the Governor's Mansion of the Light Car, no wonder he is a talent."
It's not the old brother I said you, since it's a birthday gift for the ancestors, this is definitely not sloppy, brother, do you know, there are a total of twenty-one Green Tara, is it a little too little for you to give one? Since you want to send it, you will send it completely, and you will show filial piety.
I have to say that brother, you have a vision, Green Tara has everything she wants, everything she wants, she achieves it, and she lives in Elysium for the rest of her life, and obtains the ultimate happiness, because of her rapid salvation and the courage to destroy the demon karma, so it is also called "Saving the Swift Brave Mother".
Once the ancestors of your family offer 21 statues to your family, Green Tara will definitely bless your family with long blessings and prosperity. β
Zhao 'Ting' scratched his head and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I only 'get' one." β
Shang Jia happily took a step forward, pressed his hands on Zhao Ting's shoulders and laughed: "Brother, this thing is so coincidental, brother, I invited twenty green tara in the special 'door' of Huanglong Temple in Dali, which is carved from green sandalwood, smells fragrant, and is decorated with various 'color' gems.
At that time, when I invited these bodhisattvas, my brother still wondered, why did the monks of Huanglong Temple only give me twenty, it turns out that the root is here, it seems that these Buddha statues are related to your brother, brother, I dare not block artificialization, these twenty statues belong to you! β
Under Zhao Ting's round eyes, Shang Jia really took down twenty large and small Buddha statues from the carriage behind him and placed them on the ground, and put the statues in Zhao Ting's hands there, which were indeed Doro Guanyin statues.
Shang Jia smacked his tongue and said to Zhao Ting: "Great fate, I don't dare to make any money for these twenty Buddha statues, brother, I only charge some 'leg' money and material money, do you think three thousand can be done?" β
Zhao Hao was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Ting, nodded and said: "Cheng 'handed', but I don't have so much money in my hand, you can ask my mother for it after sending it to the capital." β
Shang Jia nodded with a smile and said: "If you go out on the expedition, who the hell has three thousand yuan on your body, Lao Tzu didn't get so much money back when he robbed the palace when he 'handed over' his toes, as long as the brother drew a bet, the things will naturally be sent to the house before the birthday of your ancestor."
You can also write a letter of safety to your home, and the caravan's steward will drop by. Hurry up, the army is about to leave, and if this brother next to you is also in Tokyo, write this 'leg' and we will run. β
Zhao 'Ting' forcibly suppressed the tumbling emotion, and began to write a letter with a charcoal pen, and he didn't know where to start with a thousand words, and only wrote the words "Parents Da'an" and tears flowed down, and Zhao Hao on the side was also stunned with a pen.
Shang Jia babbled on the side: "I know that my brother is uncomfortable, my brother has also experienced this situation, when he was in the pile of dead people who 'handed over' his toes, he begged the gentleman in the army to write a letter, but he couldn't say a word.
Sue sΓΉ you, pick up the good things to write, pick up the happy things to say. Don't let your family worry about it, since we have joined the army, life and death can only be determined by fate......"
Zhao 'Ting' wiped away a handful of tears and began to write hard, and sure enough, as Shang Jia said, he picked out some good and pleasant words......
Shang Jia left with two letters, and Zhao Hao and Zhao 'Ting' watched Shang Jia disappear before they came back to their senses.
"Do you really believe his nonsense?" Zhao Hao threw the horse bag on the back of the war horse and asked Zhao 'Ting'.
"I don't believe a word about the Buddha statue!"
"I don't believe you still 'spend' 3,000 guan to buy Buddha statues?"
"The beacon fire has been in the past three months, and the family letter is worth 10,000 dollars, and since I came out, I heard my father say that my mother has not slept for a day...... Three thousand times can settle the mother's heart, and it is worth it to make her happy! β
Before the two of them had too much emotion, they heard the broken gong of the military marquis: "Fuck up, the army is going to continue to act, the injury has been sent away by the caravan, the more you go inside, the lower the possibility of encountering the caravan, boys, take care of yourself, if you are injured in the future, there may not be a good thing to be sent home by the merchant......"
Zhao Hao helped Zhao 'Ting' to re-hang the fire 'medicine' bomb, and led the horse to continue walking on the rugged mountain road, this time no longer worrying about the rolling wood and rocks falling off the cliff, and there were already scout brothers climbing to the top of the mountain to protect the head of the army.
Lu Qingqing organized a huge caravan in Dousha Village, and the caravan was full of the best craftsmen in Dousha Pass, and the 'fine' strong laborers, which was to go to the capital, and invited himself to take craftsmen and assets to build a mountain for the monarch's father, so as not to add a little trouble to the imperial court.
The news that the emperor was going to stop the construction of his mausoleum spread far and wide, and the businessmen and officials of Dousha Pass were willing to let go of this opportunity to curry favor with the emperor.
The leader of the team is naturally Lao Zhao, the second housekeeper of the Yun family, Lao Zhao trembled excitedly for his honor, and swore that he would lead the team to build the emperor's mausoleum, which was a supreme honor for him.
If it is another emperor to build a mausoleum, whether it is a craftsman or a people, it is easy to dodge, this kind of thing is easy to get into trouble, when Lei Yungong served as a mountain mausoleum envoy was implicated in the case of greedy ink There are no less than 1,000 craftsmen who were assigned.
There is no such trouble in building a mausoleum for the current emperor, these people do not take the official family's penny, and it is the officials and businessmen of Doushaguan who pay their wages, nominally spontaneously, and they will only have merit, even if the mountain envoy is greedy for ink, it has nothing to do with him, and the emperor will not take his own people to be martyred, so they are very calm.
Lu Qingqing smashed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground, and Ying Ying bowed down and said: "The concubine only wishes that you can do your best to complete the mountain mausoleum of Your Majesty, and on the day of return, the concubine will definitely set the wine to celebrate!" β
