On the seventh day of the first month, the palace is still calm, and the palace is also peaceful, but after many days, the palace guards are already complaining, even if the king of Changsha has repeatedly ordered to increase the income, but after all, it is impossible to stop the fluctuation of people's hearts, Sima Yi and Yang Xianrong are deeply aware that this matter can not be delayed any longer.

Therefore, Sima Yi played the emperor, saying that the sky is auspicious, it is the blessing of God, not to mention that now the Jin Dynasty is rich in the people, but also God has mercy, His Majesty has been on the throne for many years, although there is turmoil from time to time, but it is generally stable, no catastrophe, no catastrophe, although there are rebels outside, but the people's hearts are returned, and the four seas will be calmed down, therefore, he is willing to repay the wish to the White Horse Temple for His Majesty, in order to thank God for his favor, in order to comfort the world.

Sima Zhen was very comforted when he heard this, and he also felt that what Sima Yi said was true, he had been the emperor for many years, and he didn't worry much about the affairs of the court, but during the period, there were no other major troubles except for internal affairs, even if he was imprisoned in Kim Yong Cheng, he was quickly rescued, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed God who favors himself, so that he has been a stable emperor for a long time. He immediately approved Sima Yi's performance and ordered him to go to the White Horse Temple to repay his vows three days later.

This matter soon spread throughout the court and the opposition, and there was a voice of praise from top to bottom, however, Yang Xianrong knew in his heart that the king of Changsha was personally leading the king of Hejian and the king of Chengdu to make a move, and the victory or defeat was between the first battle.

"How did Niangniang know that the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu would definitely attack him when the King of Changsha left Beijing?" Sima Xuanhua asked.

"Guess." Yang Xianrong smiled lightly.

Sima Xuanhua was stunned, such an important matter, could they only act on speculation? How else? Yang Xianrong and Sima Yi just bet on this, for seven days, the palace guards were exhausted, not to mention that the king of Chengdu and the king of Hejian had been preparing for so long, she bet that they were more anxious than her, she believed that if she and the king of Changsha hadn't listened to Yang Ting's words and then transferred troops to the palace of Changsha, and the king of Changsha did not live in the palace for a long time, presumably they would have made a move over there. In three days, everything will be known.

On the ninth day of the first month, there was no major movement in the Chengdu palace and the Hejian palace, and it was not until midnight that the king of Changsha, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, got the news that the people of the Tiger Hall gathered outside the city and went to the east. To the east, it is where the White Horse Temple is located. Sima Yi twisted the long string of Buddhist beads in his hand and let out a long breath.

Before dawn on the second day, Sima Yi gathered his men and horses, and went out of the city to the White Horse Temple, and the men and horses he brought were all subordinate troops of the Changsha Palace, only one person behind him was not, that was the sheep who had the order of the sheep to protect the king of Changsha.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and when it was nearly noon, the group arrived at the White Horse Temple smoothly. Zen Master Dehui of White Horse Temple had received the holy decree two days ago, so he led the monks to clean the inside and outside of the temple and welcomed the distinguished guests. At this time, he led all the elders to kneel outside the temple gate, and when the king of Changsha got off the horse, he said in a loud voice: "The disciples of the White Horse Temple, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, welcome Lord Qincha. ”

Sima Yi hurriedly took two steps forward, picked up the old host, and said with a smile: "I'm bothering the mage." ”

"Don't dare."

After finishing speaking, Master Dehui led Sima Yi to the temple and stopped at the Daxiong Treasure Hall. All the Buddhist disciples in the hall are ready, Sima Yi burns incense to worship the Buddha, kneels on the ground and prays, and then orders someone to send the reward prepared by His Majesty. Venerable Dehui knelt down again to thank him, and then asked Sima Yi to go to the inner hall, where he prepared a meal.

Sima Yi had eaten his fill, looked up at the sky, just after noon, it was time to leave for Beijing. After saying goodbye to Master Dehui, he got on his horse and walked along the same road to the capital.

The White Horse Temple is located in the east of the capital, on the north bank of the Luo River, although the terrain along the way is not complicated, but the jungle is dense.

Sima Yi beckoned the sheep to ride a few steps quickly, and when the two were side by side, he asked: "Uncle Guo is resourceful, and this king appreciates it very much." ”

"The prince has won the award," Yang Ting bowed slightly and said modestly.

"I don't know if this crisis has passed, can Uncle Guo be interested in transferring from the command of the Hanguang Township Marquis to the command of this king?" Sima Yi asked again: "Not to mention anything else, at least Uncle Guo doesn't have to leave his hometown, he can marry a wife and have children in this capital and settle down, I think this is also Ling Tang's wish." ”

Yang Ting smiled slightly, and said: "The prince carries love, it is not a secret, he has been away for many years, and his heart to return home is strong, but the Hanguang townsman has the grace of knowing the lowly position, and now the lowly position has done a little, and he does not dare to leave like this." ”

Yang Ting said, such a great value of love and righteousness made Sima Yi appreciate him more, but Sima Yi didn't know the little Jiujiu in Yang Ting's heart, he dreamed of going back to the capital and worshipping an official and a half-position in the court, after all, there are many powerful people in Beijing. He has been training outside for many years, but he has no ability but no place to do it, and high-ranking officials are his dreams.

However, Yang Ting does not fully trust Sima Yi, now the situation in the DPRK and China is turbulent, with his observation of Sima Yi, this person is benevolent, affectionate and a little indecisive, he is indeed a good person, but a good person can not gain a foothold in this troubled world, although he currently has a wise judgment on the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu, but as long as he can't be ruthless and use a knife on the two, then one day, he will still roll down from his current position, so how can Yang Ting put his net worth and life in the hands of this person?

The two chatted for a while, and Sima Yi asked, "According to Uncle Guo's eyes, where will they move?" ”

"It's not time yet." Yang Ting said: "This is still the territory of Buddhism, Chengdu Wang believes in Buddhism, and will never allow the people of the Tiger Hall to do it here, and when they get out of the mountain and enter the dense forest in front, it is the best time for them to do it." "Latest

Sima Yi looked at Yang Ting, and then asked, "Uncle Guo thinks they are sure that they will kill me?" ”

"Naturally, it's 10 percent." Yang Ting said.

Sima Yi asked in surprise: "Ten percent?" ”

Yang Ting nodded, looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Then how many percent does the prince think they will not succeed in assassination?" ”

"Naturally, it's 10 percent." Sima Yi said affirmatively.

The moment he finished speaking, he understood what Yang Ting meant, both sides were fully sure to complete the task, and they were full of confidence in themselves, so today's victory and defeat can only be decided by God.

Yang Ting continued: "But according to the estimation of the humble position, the chances of the prince winning are two percent higher, at least twelve points. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Sima Yi asked with some pleasure.

"The prince is fighting this battle to win a life for himself, and the battle of the Tiger Hall is to win power and interests for himself," Yang Ting said: "In this world, there is nothing more important than life, and there is nothing more desperate than winning a life." ”

Sima Yi was stunned and praised: "It makes sense. ”

The two of them walked all the way into the dense forest, the atmosphere was suddenly a little solemn, Sima Yi gave Yang Ting a look, Yang Ting nodded, and let the horse take two steps back. When it was too late, more than a dozen people jumped from the tree, and twenty or thirty people surrounded them from all sides, dozens of people cooperated with each other, some dealt with the guards, some were responsible for confusing the vision, and the guy with the scar on his face rushed straight at Sima Yi with a long knife.

Yang Ting always paid attention to Sima Yi's movements, and then hurriedly put down the two people around him, and rushed to Sima Yi's side, taking advantage of the tiger master's concentration to deal with Sima Yi, he raised his sword and stabbed the tiger master directly. Tiger Master is doing the business of licking blood on the tip of the knife, in addition to his strong martial arts, his adaptability is also very powerful, seeing that the sword is about to stab himself, he flashed back, took a few steps back, stabilized his pace, and came with the knife again.

Sima Yi and Yang Ting are two against one, even if the tiger master is strong in martial arts, he is slowly a little unable to parry, Yang Ting looked back, his side of the people and horses are nearly three times that of the other party, it is more than enough to deal with them, he can't help but be a little strange, it is said that the Tiger Hall has been preparing for so long, it should not act so hastily, this is obviously a gift to the head. He had a faint feeling of unease in his heart.

Sure enough, after the two sides were a little tired, these forty or fifty people suddenly withdrew, and the tiger master also showed a strange smile, suddenly, two or three hundred people appeared densely in the dense forest, Yang Ting looked around, only some of these people had tattoos on their faces, these people were the people of the Tiger Hall, and the others were probably the regular army pretending to be the Tiger Hall, and they were the people under the command of the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu.

"You've lost." The tiger master shouted, and once again raised his knife and rushed towards Sima Yi.

Sima Yi blocked him unhurriedly, sneered, and replied to him: "Not necessarily." ”

The tiger master was stunned for a moment, seeing that Sima Yi looked indifferent, without half a panicked appearance, he didn't count in his heart, looked around, and sure enough, he heard movement in the distance, and in a blink of an eye, he and his two hundred or so people were surrounded.

Sima Yi smiled and shouted at the soldiers on the periphery: "The Yamen army listens to the order!" ”

"In!" The soldiers shouted majestically, and the sound was deafening, and the birds in the forest flew out in fright.

When Hu Ye heard that Sima Yi had transferred the Yamen Army, he was a little flustered for a while, he tried to stabilize his emotions, and asked, "The King of Changsha has good skills!" ”

"The Tiger Hall is notorious and threatens the imperial court, and as a child of the royal family, everyone has the obligation to exterminate it." Sima Yi said coldly, and then, he shouted at the Yamen army on the periphery: "Take down all the evil bandits in the Tiger Hall." ”

The two hundred or so people who had just rushed in were panicked by this sudden change, and they had completely lost the will to fight, and they all disarmed and surrendered, as for the tiger master, he was very cunning, seeing that the situation was not right, he didn't know where to find a handful of white ash and sprinkled it at Sima Yi and Yang Ting, taking advantage of the fact that the two of them couldn't see clearly, he shouted, "Rush out of the Tiger Hall." Then he found a gap, and rushed out with the men. The Yamen army was not vegetarian, they were well-trained, and when they saw this, they quickly arrested people, but except for the tiger master and the other three strong martial artists, the rest of them were all caught.
