Today is undoubtedly a good day for Monk Yuancheng, and even more than the joy of the Yu Lan Festival, because the patient who has been pestering him all day for free psychological counseling is finally leaving.

Before leaving, Yuan Cheng couldn't hide his excitement, and muttered to himself: "The little donor has gone all the way, and the old monk can sleep well!" ”

"What did the mage say?" Li Zhen leaned over and asked again.

"Well, the old monk is saying, I have been taught in the past few days!" The look of panic on his face.

"Hehe, the mage is high, the kid has benefited a lot, and he will definitely come back to ask for advice in the future!" Li Zhen laughed.

Hearing this, Yuan Cheng waved his hand again and again, and said, "The little donor doesn't have to be polite......

"The day the boy comes again, it will be the time when the light of the Buddha will see the light of day again!" Li Zhen then said.

After hearing this, Yuan Cheng's face immediately froze, and then he grabbed Li Zhen's hands tightly and asked, "Is this true for the little benefactor?" ”

"How dare the kid speak in front of the mage?" Li Zhen said with a smile.

Wish Cheng nodded again and again, his eyes were full of tears, for himself to witness the prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty to decline, the only long-cherished wish in this life is to make this Buddha Guang Ancient Temple recreate the glory of the year, at this time after hearing what Li Zhen said, he was very excited, and secretly glad that his free psychological counseling in the past few days was not in vain.

May Cheng and the monks have been sending Li Zhen and others to the bottom of the mountain before reluctantly watching them away, and did not forget to remind: "Don't forget the little benefactor, the old monk is looking forward to each other day and night!" ”

......

"Brother Qianli, this place must not be far from Youzhou!" Li Zhen asked.

"Hehe, at our current rate, I'm afraid it will take ten days! Out of here, there is Zhenzhou in front of you, then Yizhou, and then you are the boundary of Youzhou! Gao Biao replied.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Let the brothers hurry up, I haven't seen Aya and Erlang in the past two months, and I am really worried about it!" ”

There was nothing to say all the way, until two days later, everyone finally entered the border of Zhenzhou, Zhenzhou is the jurisdiction of Lulong Festival, since ancient times it belongs to Youjun, formerly known as Hengzhou, in the first year of Changqing, it was changed to Zhenzhou in order to avoid Mu Zong's secrets, and the governance is really determined.

Zhou Wu Wang Pingyin Feng Zhao Gong in the secluded land, called Yan, one of the seven heroes during the Warring States Period, Sui placed Youjun, Tang Wude relocated Youzhou in the first year, Tianbao changed to Fanyang County in the first year, and changed back to Youzhou in the first year of Qianyuan, although it has been renamed several times, but Youzhou as the transportation strategic position in the north of Hebei has not changed, when Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong made four expeditions to Goguryeo, the grain and grass, soldiers and horses, weapons and so on were transferred from the strength of the whole country to transit in Youzhou.

After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the forces of the northern ethnic groups gradually rose, and in the second year of Xiantian, they placed the Youzhou Festival envoy to resist the invasion of the Xi people and the Khitan, and during the Anshi Rebellion, the traitor An Lushan also raised troops in Youzhou, and in the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Shi Siming established himself as the "Yan Emperor" here.

It can be seen that Youzhou is undoubtedly one of the most important military towns in the north of the empire, and it is the strongest in the country with the three towns of Hebei, and the three towns of Hebei are the most in Lulongjiedu, with jurisdiction over Youzhou, Jizhou, Fuzhou, Danzhou, Yizhou, Dingzhou, Zhenzhou, Mozhou, Cangzhou and other Kyushu.

Since entering Hengzhou, Li Zhen and his entourage have gone directly to the official road, and after a long journey of a month, they finally came to the territory of Lulong, which made Li Zhen's heart that had been quiet under the guidance of the monk Yuancheng become excited again.

However, the more they moved forward, the more uneasy Li Zhen and the others became, all the way to this official road was not half of the people, and even the surrounding roads were rare pedestrians, as for the villages and towns passing by, they were even more closed doors, and a heavy sense of depression lingered in everyone's hearts, although they didn't know what was going on for a while, but everyone knew in their hearts that this place was not so simple.

Because Li Zhen was anxious, he did not take the road really, but chose a more rugged but greatly shortened path, but everyone immediately found that the more remote the place, the more noisy the villages on the way, and even found that they had been turned into ruins when they passed through several villages.

Just like the village in front of him, it seems that there are about hundreds of families, but at this moment there is no piece of armor, although there is no life or death, but according to Gao Yu's experience, it is obvious that these villages have only recently suffered accidents.

"Apparently this village has been vandalized!" Gao Yu said with a heavy face.

"Isn't that nonsense? Could it be that it is still a divine punishment from heaven?! Yan Heng pouted and said.

"In my opinion, this is definitely not something that ordinary bandits can do, ordinary bandits and bandits are only for money, and will never destroy the entire village, but we have seen on the way in the past few days, at least seven or eight villages have been completely destroyed, so ......"

"Rebels?" Li Zhen said.

"I'm not sure, but it's definitely the military!" Gao Yu replied immediately.

"If it's an army, I think it won't be Lu Longjun, Zhang Yuanjun is known for his strict management of the army, and with his temperament, he will never allow his soldiers and horses to do such things, and he has no reason to do it!" Li Zhen groaned.

"Yes, I don't believe that it was the soldiers and horses under Zhang Yuanjun's command, so who has the ability to do such a big rebellion in this Lulong realm?" Zheng Zhen nodded and agreed, with a look of confusion on his face.

At this time, Gu Duoda on the side looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and Li Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Old Gu, what do you want to say?" ”

Gu Duoda shook his head after hearing this, and said: "I'm not sure, I'm just suspicious, before I came to the Tang Dynasty, I met a small group of Hui cavalry, originally they wanted to kill me, but seeing that I am not Han, and I am fighting to the death, I didn't do it!" ”

"Hui cavalry? Where did you meet? Gao Yu had a bad premonition and immediately asked.

Gu Duoda thought for a while and said, "I seem to remember that I met it when I just left the Yunzhou realm!" ”

"Yunzhou belongs to Hedong Road, adjacent to the territory of the Hui Yuan Department, I think this Hui cavalry is not the remnants of the Xi tribe who fled eastward, but the remnants of the defeated army who were forced here by the Huang Jiasi!" Gao Yu groaned.

"And do you know how many of them there are?" Li Zhen then asked.

Gu Duoda shook his head and replied, "I don't know, the cavalry I met at that time was estimated to have more than 100 people, but I believe that it was only a small part!" ”

After hearing this, Li Zhen's face was solemn, according to this, this Hui cavalry should be nearby, and he only had these three hundred Shen Ce elite cavalry and more than fifty Jing Ya soldiers at this time, now the enemy and I are unknown, if you encounter the main force of the Hui cavalry, it will be dangerous.

"Brother Qianli, let the brothers move forward at full speed and be ready for battle at any time, and send a few messengers to Youzhou to inform Zhang Envoy Jun!" Li Zhen frowned slightly and said decisively.
