Gong Qianbai led the way in front of the ox cart unhurriedly, with his current cultivation, there was no problem with his foot strength, but he was very weak now, and his strength was greatly reduced, so now it was also his limit.

On the ox cart, the prince of the iron pot is tasting the local food prepared for him by the contribution list. It's late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the food is so tiring that no matter what the taste of the food is, it already warms his heart to eat a mouthful of hot food.

It's just that if he knows that the reason why these foods are still hot is because Gong Qianbai has been holding it in his arms and warming it, he doesn't know if he can eat it so deliciously.

The road was bumpy, and seeing that it was about to reach Lingui County, Elder Qiufeng of Dayuan Temple and 20 monks had been waiting for a long time in three miles outside the city. The iron pot was sitting on the ox cart, but when he saw this, he also stood up. Although I am still a child, I already know what to do, and my heart is still very useful.

After walking for another three miles, outside the gate of Lingui County, Elder Qiujiang had already personally led the other monks of the Dayuan Temple to wait, and the Iron Pot Prince Tuo Timur actually took the initiative to salute Elder Qiujiang and others. For a degraded prince, this kind of treatment has never been felt before, and a grand scene like today has indeed left a deep impression on his heart.

Elder Qiujiang and Gong Qianbai glanced at each other and nodded with satisfaction, today's greeting ceremony is still perfect.

The monks of Dayuan Temple greeted the iron pot in three waves, which was determined by Gong Qianbai and Elder Akie after consultation, of course, it was mainly Gong Qianbai's idea; Although Elder Qiu Jiang has lived a long time, he is an upright person, and he is indeed quite bad at this kind of cleverness. So far, the effect is quite good.

But Gong Qianbai has always been doubting whether he has the potential to be a traitor. His identity allows him to always think of the vision of future generations when doing things, and the professional point of view is called the perspective of history. These things he did, if they were really written in the history books, would definitely be called a "traitor"!

Rape is rape, anyway, you have a clear conscience!

"Old monk, you are very good!"

Gong Qianbai was eye-to-eye with the old monk, and the cavalry general who was escorting the iron pot sneered in his mouth, rode his horse and slowly walked in front of Elder Qiujiang, and suddenly raised his whip and whipped it on the old monk without any warning.

Gong Qianbai was shocked, and several monks next to him were also shocked, and wanted to come forward to interrogate, but before he could attack, he was stopped by Elder Qiujiang.

"Don't be rude! Stand down! ”

Elder Qiujiang sang a Buddhist horn, folded his hands, closed his eyes and recited the Buddhist scriptures.

But his concession made the Mongol general even more crazy, laughing while riding a horse and waving a whip to see which monk did not like his eyes.

"Lao Tzu Mongolian centurion did a good job, all because of him that Lao Tzu came all the way here. Tell you, he is exiled here, you don't tnd pat him on the back with me, don't be too polite to him on weekdays, and I will whip you once I see him like today! ”

The other Mongol soldiers lined up on horseback and looked coldly at the monks of the Great Circle Temple, as if anyone who dared to move would immediately rush up and cut him into pieces.

"When he came, General Tuohan had already said that he was not allowed to take a step out of the place of house arrest, he was not allowed to be respectful and polite, he was not allowed to be treated beyond ordinary people, and all violators of the order were killed! More than 20 people are watching the gate of your Dayuan Temple in Lingui County, and then sharpen the knife quickly, who dares to lose someone, Lao Tzu will try whether your neck is hard or not my knife! Hum! ”

A pair of Mongolian knights entered Lingui County proudly, and the county commander of Lingui County led the officials to greet them, and went to the pavilion.

From beginning to end, he just pretended to salute the iron pot from a distance.

Gong Qianbai's face was gloomy, as if he was about to ooze ice water. If it was only sympathy and grievance to see the Mongols bullying other Han people before, when the centurion whip was whipped on Elder Qiujiang just now, the seeds of hatred had already sprouted in Gong Qianbai's heart.

But he remained calm. In fact, in addition to Elder Qiujiang, among the dozens of monks at the scene, only Gong Qianbai was relatively calm.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for 10 years, and today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!

"Master! How are you? ”

The centurion's whip was very ruthless, and Elder Qiujiang was already in his 70s, and Gong Qianbai was really worried about whether Elder Qiujiang's body and bones could hold up.

"Amitabha! The old monk is fine! ”

Elder Qiujiang signaled that the monks did not have to worry, and checked the other monks who had been whipped just now, and saw that some of them had already broken their skin and flesh and needed to be bandaged urgently, Elder Qiujiang hurriedly sent people back to the temple.

On the ox cart, the prince of the iron pot was depressed, but he didn't react too much, obviously he himself was not less humiliated along the way, but he was helpless.

The cavalry escort left, and in addition to the iron pot, there was only an old man who drove the car, looking at the prince of the iron pot pitifully.

"Little monk!" The prince of the iron pot jumped out of the car and beckoned to Gong Qianbai, with an apologetic face, "That...... Can you lend me some money, this ox cart is still rented in a town in the north......"

The more the iron pot spoke, the more embarrassed he became, Gong Qianbai nodded and interrupted him: "Your Highness, don't worry!" I also brought some silver with me, and I still have one or two, so I'll give it to the old benefactor! After saying that, he took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the old man who was driving the cart, and the old man drove the ox cart back the same way with great gratitude.

The prince of the iron pot scratched his scalp: "Then I will pay you back when I have money!" ”

"The six roots of the monks are pure, and the income is provided by the donors of the four directions, and Your Highness does not have to worry about it! The best rooms and food in the temple have been prepared in the temple, please come with us, let's go back to the temple! ”

In the Dayuan Temple, the residence and diet of the iron pot have been arranged, and the rooms with the best scenery in the temple are lived, and it is a single courtyard, with three large houses, which are mainly used for the rest of the donors who have donated a certain amount of sesame oil money on weekdays; The food is also the best thing in the Dayuan Temple, and in order to satisfy his children's confidence, in addition to Gong Qianbai, the other 4 little monks who were just recruited last month were all distributed, in addition to cleaning the house, they also had to take care of his daily life, and even play with him.

Just after eating fasting, the iron pot quietly called Gong Qianbai and asked tentatively, "Do I need to do anything in the temple?" If you have one, just say it! ”

"Your Highness has only one thing to do in the Great Circle Temple!"

"What's the matter?"

"Read!"

"What?" When the iron pot heard this, it suddenly exploded, "What am I doing studying?" ”

"Succession to the throne, of course!"

Tie Guo sat on the railing next to him, lowered his head, and shook his legs: "You don't know, my uncle exiled me here because he was afraid that I would compete for the throne, and he himself has a son, and he won't pass it on to me!" ”

"Your Highness's words are wrong!" Gong Qianbai said, "I know that His Royal Highness will be able to inherit the throne for three reasons: the first is that the throne should have been His Highness, as long as His Royal Highness lives well, he is the most suitable heir to the throne; The second is the desire of His Royal Highness, even if His Majesty is unwilling to pass on the throne to you, there are hundreds of officials in the court to admonish him; The third is that the Buddha told us that if the throne is yours, it must be yours, and even if others covet it, they will not be blessed! ”

The iron pot looked surprised: "What you said is true?" ”

Gong Qianbai nodded: "Of course it's true!" The throne must be yours, and it will be within three or five years, so I hope Your Highness will prepare in advance, so that everyone in the world will know that you are the most suitable prince for the throne of Xicheng! ”

The iron pot reluctantly asked, "Is it really useful to read?" The ancestors are fighting the world on horseback! ”

Gong Qianbai said more seriously: "The three armies of Yongguan can be invincible on the battlefield, but they don't need to govern the country. Since the founding of the country, Dadu has always been the capital of literati, even if no matter how much the Han people are excluded, there are still half of the officials are Han people, not because of how brave the Han people are in battle, but because the Han people are good at governing the country, and can help Your Majesty govern the country richer, more stable, and stronger. ”

"But I still think it's more fun!"

Gong Qianbai sighed in his heart, I also think it's more interesting to play, but it's a pity that playing will only allow me to be bullied by others in the end, and I can't bully others, so playing itself is not fun.

I still have to be bitter:

"It didn't say that His Highness was not allowed to play, and reading was not something that could be achieved overnight, the little monk suggested that His Highness combine work and rest, have time to play, have time to read, and practice martial arts to have time! It doesn't feel boring that way. ”

This time, the iron pot became interested, grabbed Gong Qianbai's arm and said happily: "What you said is so good!" That's what it means! ”

Gong Qianbai said with a smile: "Then Your Highness is not in a hurry, the scenery of Dayuan Temple is beautiful, and there is a famous spot in the world, Duxiu Peak, take a good rest for a few days!" In the future, the 5 of us will live next door to His Highness, and if you need to, just call us! Of course, we also take turns to be with His Highness! ”

"Can't you sleep here? I think it's quite spacious here! There was a hint of pleading in the iron pot's eyes.

Of course, Gong Qianbai has to find a way to live with the iron pot, only in this way can he establish a deeper friendship faster. But if he takes the initiative to bring it up, it is easy to make the iron pot suspicious, so Gong Qianbai needs to use words to trap him.

I didn't expect the iron pot to be so easy to set, and I succeeded with just one sentence.

But in order to enhance the effect, it is also necessary to want to indulge.

Gong Qianbai deliberately hesitated for a moment before answering the iron pot: "We are lowly in status, I'm afraid it's not suitable to live with His Royal Highness, it's better to live next door!" ”

Sure enough, the iron pot was in a hurry: "Doesn't the monk pay attention to the equality of everyone?" Besides, I don't think you guys are lowly enough, right? ”

"But it's not allowed according to the rules, right?" Gong Qianbai said embarrassedly.

"That's it!" The iron pot rolled his eyes and said to Gong Qianbai, "Only you live in first, if someone asks, just say that I need someone to accompany me, wouldn't it be good!" ”

"In that case, the little monk obeys!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Gong Qianbai's mouth.
