Hua Mulan was busy with military affairs, and she didn't stay long in Nantianbao, and only stayed for less than an hour before returning to the Jinling camp with the escort team.

Zhao Junsheng actually just wants Hua Mulan to lead the troops well and let her fully display her military talents, and doesn't want her to come into contact with these dirty things, but the higher her status, the more she knows, and she can't hide the dark and dirty inside story behind these things from her, so she can only tell her about it, let her be mentally prepared as soon as possible, if she knows these things when her status is higher in the future, I'm afraid it will be very bad.

Before the crossing, Zhao Junsheng read "Mulan Ci" and thought that Mulan had achieved a story through the ages, and she was a great legend of women, and she was yearning and admiring. But who can imagine what she experienced in the army? The road to success in good stories and legends is definitely not smooth sailing and beautiful, and is bound to be full of bloody killings, power battles, and endless intrigues.

The era of the Northern Wei Dynasty was by no means so beautiful and peaceful, the struggle between the court and the officialdom was extremely fierce, conspiracies were everywhere, the oppression of the Han and other ethnic minorities by the Xianbei rulers was extremely cruel, the ethnic contradictions were extremely acute, and the external situation was even more complicated, which is an unavoidable fact.

Two days later, the 5,000 stone grain and grass and 5,000 horses of cloth sent by Tuoba Jian had been delivered, and Zhao Junsheng sent people to receive them into the treasury and sent people to recruit women to sew military uniforms from the surrounding counties.

After another two days, Pei Jin and the merchant Qiao Yicheng returned to the Nantianbao military camp.

"Dutong, I waited until I arrived in Shuozhou and went to see Shuozhou to engage in Yang Yiqian, but I didn't expect Yang Yiqian to ignore his subordinates at first, and also expressed doubts about the identity of his subordinates and the authenticity of the customs clearance documents, and the next day his subordinates took two hundred men and horses to block in front of the yamen of Shuozhou Mansion!"

Zhao Junsheng asked with interest: "Oh? How did Yang Yiqian deal with this? ”

Pei Jin continued: "Yang Yiqian came out and saw that we were in such a big formation, and we were swords, guns, bows and crossbows, so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot!" Shuozhou Thorn Shi Du Chao went home to mourn and guard filial piety, the new Shuozhou Thorn Shi has not yet arrived, Yang Yiqian was worried that something big would happen, and immediately ordered to send someone to lift the ban on Qiao Yuanwai's warehouse, and also held a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to invite his subordinates and Qiao Yuanwai to the banquet, and apologized in person, and said that this time it was a water to flush the Dragon King Temple, and similar things would never happen again in the future! ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Some people are cheap bones, they don't shed tears if they don't enter the coffin, this Yang Yiqian is obviously this kind of person, you can't be afraid of him when you treat this kind of person, you have to give him something powerful!" ”

At this time, Qiao Yicheng said to Zhao Junsheng: "Dutong, after the ban on that batch of goods was lifted, the grass people immediately contacted some buyers, and the goods were very tight in the market, and all of them were sold at the highest price within three days, making a big profit. This time, the grass people rushed back and brought a batch of grain and grass, and the remaining batch is being purchased, and it can be transported in seven or eight days at most! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and ordered: "Replace the remaining fabrics with blankets and silk wool, this winter is coming, you have to hurry up and prepare warm clothes for the soldiers and people!" ”

Qiao Yicheng promised: "Don't worry, the grass people will start to do it after they go back!" ”

Four months have passed in a blink of an eye, and after the year, it has come to February of the second year of Shenyu.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng was training the cavalry, the cavalry after four months of unhindered continuous training, the most basic combat skills including horsemanship, cavalry archery, rushing, killing, chopping and stabbing and other basic combat skills have been practiced very proficiently, at this time Zhao Junsheng is training the tactics of these more than 3,600 cavalry.

When Cao Jiao's personal soldiers who were on duty at the pass ran over to report at this time: "Qi Yu Dutong, there are more than a dozen Fanbang nuns and some entourages outside the pass, a line of more than 40 people, and five carts carrying accompanying items, they want to enter the territory of Great Wei through Nantianbao, Cao Duwei sent villains to report to Dutong, whether to let them enter the customs?" ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "Fanbang nuns? Do you know where they came from? Are there any Chinese speakers among them? ”

The soldier who reported the news replied: "Back to the capital, the leaders of these Fanbang nuns can speak Chinese, and the others don't know!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "You go and tell Cao Jiao and let him order the switch to let them in!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers quickly ran back to the upper floor of Nantianbao City to report to Cao Jiao: "Captain, Du Tong asked you to switch and let them in!" ”

"Open the gates!"

With Cao Jiao's order, the jack pendant was hoisted up by the noose.

Cao Jiao came to wait in the city gate with more than a dozen personal soldiers, and a group of nuns outside the city gate cave wore khaki robes and sheepskins, and they shivered from the cold, but they walked in two lines, and some entourage grooms behind them drove the carriage with the accompanying items.

The leading nun is in her forties and still charming, and in addition, the other ten nuns are generally in their thirties, and the youngest is also in her twenties.

The leading Fanbang nun walked up to Cao Jiao, clasped her hands together and said in Chinese: "Amitabha, dare to ask the general, but this is the guard?" The poor nuns and their entourage want to enter the territory of Wei to promote Buddhism, and they also ask the general to stamp the official seal on the customs clearance documents! ”

Cao Jiao clenched his fists and said: "So that the mage knows that the last general is indeed the guard of this pass, but if you want to stamp the official seal on the customs clearance document, you still need the mage to meet the top boss of the last general, the defense envoy of the northern defense line and the commander of the Jinling battalion!" ”

"Please also ask the general for introduction!"

Cao Jiao waved his hand to the city tower to put down the jack pendant, closed the city gate, and then said to the leading nun and said, "Master, please!" ”

"There is General Law!"

Under the leadership of Cao Jiao, a group of female nuns and their entourages came to the outside of the barracks under Nantian Fort, only the leading nuns were allowed to follow Cao Jiao into the barracks to see Zhao Junsheng, and the others were blocked out of the barracks.

When Zhao Junsheng returned to the barracks lobby, Cao Jiaozheng was waiting in the lobby with the leading Fanbang nuns.

Zhao Junsheng walked into the lobby with Pei Jin, and Cao Jiao introduced to the leading Fanbang nun: "Master, this is Zhao Dutong, the boss of the last general!" ”

The leading Fanbang nun was unhurried and clasped her hands together with Zhao Junsheng, "Amitabha, the poor Ni Tiesaro is from the country of Shizi and went to the Eastern Tujin Dynasty to promote Buddhism!" Passing by the precious land, please also ask the capital to make it convenient to stamp the official seal on the customs clearance document of the poor nuns, so as to facilitate the poor nuns and their party to pass through the passes along the way! ”

Shizi Country? Zhao Junsheng thought about it, it seems to be Sri Lanka that was called the country of Shizi in the history of his previous life, right? He looked at the face of the Tesaro again, and found that the nun did indeed have the features of a South Indian appearance, and had dark skin.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Master Tiesaro, the Shizi Kingdom is at the southernmost tip of the Indian continent, and its south is an endless sea?" ”

"Exactly!"

This confirms Zhao Junsheng's question: "How can the Master speak my Han language?" ”

Tiesaro said: "Master Fa Xian of the Eastern Tu Jin Kingdom once lived for two years in the Fearless Mountain Monastery of the King City of Shizi to study Buddhism, and at that time, the poor nun had the good fortune to meet Master Fa Xian and follow him to learn Chinese! ”

Master Fa Xian? Zhao Junsheng didn't know this person, nor had he heard of this monk, so he turned his head and asked Pei Jin, "Do you know Master Fa Xian?" ”

Pei Jin bowed and replied: "Back to Dutong, as far as his subordinates know, Master Fa Xian is the first monk to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures and return, it is reported that there were a total of eleven monks who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures together, and they either accompanied at the beginning, or met halfway!" There are three people only to the North Tianzhu to pay homage to the Buddha and then returned to China but did not bring back the scriptures, others or stayed in Tianzhu or died of illness in Tianzhu, only Master Fa Xian traveled alone to more than 30 countries in the West and brought back the scriptures, after 14 years, when he set off was 65 years old, when he returned to China, he lived 70 and 8, Master Fa Xian passed away nine years ago, 6 out of 80 when he passed away, and left "Fa Xian Biography" before his death, this book is also called "Buddha Country Record". However, as far as his subordinates know, during the Han Dynasty, there was an official named Cai Su who once led a delegation to the West Heaven to learn scriptures on the orders of the emperor, and after he came back, there was the White Horse Temple in Luoyang! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and after listening to Pei Jin's words, he finally had a little understanding of this Fa Xian, so that this Fa Xian master's experience in learning scriptures from the West was not inferior to Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Junsheng said to Tie Zaro: "So that the mage can know that the Jin Kingdom has perished, and Master Fa Xian has passed away nine years ago, and now the territory of the Jin Kingdom in the Eastern Soil has been replaced by the Liu Song Kingdom of the Southern Dynasty, and the capital is Jiankang City!" ”

"Amitabha!" Hearing this, Tiesaro pronounced a Buddha name, "Master Faxian's generation of senior monks, in the past, he went to Tianzhu to seek Buddhist scriptures after thousands of hardships, and all the Buddhist masters in Tianzhu admired them at that time!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "I wonder what Master Tiesaro wants to come to Middle-earth this time?" ”

Tiesaro clasped his hands together and said, "Poor nuns and others have heard from merchants in Shizi Country that if a woman in Middle-earth wants to become a monk, she can only shave her hair and practice, but cannot be fully ordained. My Buddha is merciful, poor nuns and others were inspired by the Buddha to come to Middle-earth to promote Buddhism through all kinds of hardships, in order to pass on the precepts! ”

"Oh, it's for the precepts!" Zhao Junsheng nodded and said that he understood, and the nuns in China during this period were not formal nuns, they were just shaving their hair and practicing, and they had not received precepts.

"Dare to ask the mage, where do you plan to settle down in Middle-earth this time?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Tiesaro replied: "For the time being, there is no decision on the final destination, and the poor nuns and others plan to travel to the Wei Kingdom now!" ”

"Very good, the mage and other cadres are all women, and our army is full of men, and it is not easy for the capital to keep the mage and others here, so put the official seal on the mage's customs clearance documents, let you go!"

"Amitabha, good, good!" Tiesaro took out the clearance document and presented it with both hands.

Zhao Junsheng took the customs clearance document and looked at it, he didn't know Tianzhu Sanskrit, just like reading the book of heaven, and instructed Pei Jin: "Pei Jin, you prepare ten days of food for all the masters, and talk about the mind of the book!" ”

"Yes!" Pei Jin agreed and turned to leave.

Tesara pronounced a Buddha horn with both hands and said, "All are merciful, Amitabha!" ”

Zhao Junsheng spread out the customs clearance document on the table, picked up the seal of the commander and stamped it on the customs clearance document, and then handed the customs clearance document to Tie Salo.

Tiesaro put away the customs clearance papers, and when he got up, he asked, "Dare to ask Dutong, is there a place for female nuns to practice near here?" ”

Zhao Junsheng replied: "There is no near here, but the Pondu knows that there is a Haolaiwu thirty miles south of Shanwu County in the southeast, and there is a Xiaosheng Zen Monastery there, where many nuns practice, if the mage wants to find a short-term place to stay, it is a good place to go!" ”
