Chapter 448: The Divine Decree Comes East

There are no absolute good people in the world, and there are no absolute bad people, no matter who they are, whether they are ordinary or noble, there are some shining points that are different from others.

In Li Su's eyes, the lord of Gaochang is naturally not a good person, that is, in order to seize Xizhou, he secretly colluded with the Western Turks and Qiuzi and other countries, and the coalition army attacked Xizhou, causing the defenders of Xizhou City to pay the price of thousands of lives, and even Li Su himself almost lost his life, so he could defend the city, and the glory he deserved was there, but the people who had passed away were also gone forever.

For Li Su, Lu Wentai is not wronged to die a hundred times, because he deserves to die.

However, for Xuanzang, Lu Wentai believes in Buddhism, and has a deep Buddha fate, can sit with him and discuss Zen for three days and three nights, and treat him as a national scholar and a famous monk.

Regardless of whether the person is a good person or a bad person, Li Su can now say with certainty that he is already a dead person.

Xuanzang was very efficient, he said he would go, return to the camp tent and put on the bamboo basket on his back, still on crutches, put on the hundred monk robes, tie the legs, and even the shoes were the straw sandals with five or six toes exposed, and then he was ready to leave the camp and go to Gaochangguo.

Li Su hesitated for a long time, and at the moment when Xuanzang said goodbye to him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his monk's robe.

"Master, you ...... Or don't go, this is hundreds of miles to Gaochang, the road is far away, the road is very dangerous, you have to pass through a flaming mountain, there are no monkeys around you, who will help you borrow a banana fan......" Li Su persuaded with a little embarrassment, and the persuasion was not up to the point.

Xuanzang looked at him confused: "Why did the county say this?" The poor monk of the Flame Mountain knew that it was a hundred miles away, but ...... What does a banana fan mean? ”

Li Su thought about it, and finally decided to tell the truth, it was impossible to hide this matter.

"Master. Tell me the truth, Gao Chang...... It has been destroyed by my Tang Dynasty, the lord of the country Lu Wentai died of illness the day before the Tang army attacked the capital, and the new lord of the country, Lu Zhisheng, has been captured by General Hou and escorted Chang'an to the prisoner. ”

As if a thunderbolt exploded in mid-air, Xuanzang's body trembled violently a few times. His face turned pale.

Li Su looked at him regretfully, Lu Wentai deserved to die, whether he was a good person or a bad person, he deserved to die, but the old monk in front of him, who only had Buddhism in his eyes, really couldn't bear to hurt him.

Xuanzang stood still in despair, his eyes fell on Li Su's face, but he seemed to have lost his focus and was as empty as he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Master...... Condolences change. Buddhism pays attention to the fate of the law, you and Ko Wentai's fate may be exhausted in this life, if there is a fate, the next life will talk about the confidant. ”

Xuanzang came back to his senses, shook his head sadly, and two lines of turbid tears slipped from his eyes.

"It is the poor monk who has not yet been purified, and has not yet seen through the separation of life and death, and his sin...... Dare to ask Li Xianzi. Why did Datang attack Gaochang? ”

Li Sudao: "The master didn't know, three months ago. Gaochang lord Lu Wentai colluded with the Western Turks, Qiuzi and other countries in the Western Regions, and the coalition army of 30,000 intended to seize Xizhou, and our Tang defenders paid thousands of casualties to be able to hold this city, and now the Tang Dynasty is strong. His Majesty the Emperor then sent General Hou Junji as the general manager, sent 40,000 troops, and swore to destroy Gaochang and other countries. When the soldiers approached the capital of Gaochang, Ko Wentai was anxious about the country's distress and died that night......"

Listening to Li Su slowly tell what happened, Xuanzang sighed and cried: "It turns out that there is a cause and effect, no one else is to blame, only to blame Ko Wentai for studying Buddhism, but he can't eliminate the idea of greed and hatred, so there is this retribution, no wonder others, no wonder others ......."

"Master ......"

Xuanzang faced the west side of Heshi, closed his eyes and muttered a few verses, and then said: "The poor monk has a reluctant request, can you ask Li Xianzi to build a Dharma platform for the poor monk, the poor monk wants to make a final effort for his old friend, and surpass his soul." ”

Li Su nodded: "You should obey." ”

Li Su gave an order, and the Dharma platform was set up quickly, and even the Buddhist Dharma utensils were properly prepared for Xuanzang.

Xuanzang meditated cross-legged in the tent, did not eat or drink for a whole day and night, and occasionally heard a low sobbing and sighing sound in the tent at night, and the next day, Xuanzang wore a big red robe, holding a wooden fish prayer bead, sitting on the Dharma platform and reciting the scriptures of the past life, this sitting, is three days.

Li Su did not disturb him, and issued a military order, strictly prohibiting anyone in the camp from disturbing Xuanzang, there was no one within a radius of ten zhang of Fatai, and only the sound of Buddha and Sanskrit singing echoed in the vast land.

In the past three days, the entire camp has become solemn and solemn, and Li Su also sat cross-legged outside the Dharma platform, quietly listening to Xuanzang's transcendent scriptures, and in three days, Li Su seemed to have realized a lot.

In the dark, there seems to be a pair of eyes staring at every move of the world, every thing, every word, is a cause, is an effect, invisible and intangible, but destined because of good and evil.

*****************************************************************

The long-awaited decree has finally arrived.

Half a month later, it was the middle of February of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, a cavalry team came to the east of Xizhou City, about 100 people, this point of soldiers and horses walked on the Silk Road, if in the past, maybe a little risky, the bandits of the Silk Road are very rampant, but since Hou Junji led the army to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom, the soldiers pointed directly at Qiuzi, for a time the bandits on the Silk Road were shocked, everyone was in danger, and when they saw the cavalry dressed in the Tang Army, they automatically consciously hid far away.

When a mighty empire finally shows its fangs, it is met with awe from all sides.

The head of the cavalry is a eunuch, wrapped in a sackcloth, even the eyebrows and eyes are tightly covered, twenty miles away from the city of Xizhou, the eunuch found that there are camels and horses carrying people to the direction of the city from time to time near the cavalry, and can not help but be shocked, until the cavalry leader of the same company whispered to him, this is the Tang army scouts guarding Xizhou, the eunuch was frightened, and then put on the official court clothes jade belt brocade crown, holding the yellow silk holy decree, towards the camp outside the city of Xizhou.

…………

"The system said: ...... Protect the state and township, calm a corner, and wait for Ning Yan...... Recognition is leisurely, and sex is reasonable. Dian Rong perfunctory, the reputation is ready to ......"

The eunuch's tone was subdued, and he shook his head when he unfolded the holy decree, very intoxicated, Li Su, Cao Yu, Cheng Chumo, Tian Renhui and other cadres knelt in front of the tent, bowing their heads and looking respectful.

The holy decree is a very formal official document, four or six into a pun, pay attention to the neatness of the battle, Li Su knelt in front of him and listened with straight eyes, he didn't understand at all, and he could vaguely hear that Li Shimin was probably praising them for their meritorious service in defending the city, and it was not until the end that the eunuch finally said the content of the reward.

“…… Rafeng, Xizhou Thorn Shi Cao Yu Tongyi Doctor, give three hundred taels of gold, one hundred horses of silk, General Jiang Quan Mingwei, the captain of the right military guard, give two hundred taels of gold, one hundred horses of silk, Yumen Guanzhong Lang General Tian Renhui Guanglu Doctor, give three hundred taels of gold, one hundred horses of silk, the defenders of the city are all awarded with military merits, and the war dead are compassionate ......"

When the eunuch read this, the kneeling crowd frowned, rewarding so many people, but he didn't say a word about Li Su, who had the greatest credit for defending the city, this holy decree was a bit abnormal.

Until the end, when the eunuch was about to finish reading, Li Su was finally mentioned.

“…… Jingyang County, General Dingyuan, Xizhou Don't Drive Li Su, and ordered to set off on the same day to recall Chang'an Mianjun. Oh yes! ”
