They now live in the compound, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, they are not afraid of cold and heat, and they no longer have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but people are like losing their souls, and they can't see their smiling faces all year round, just like a group of dead people, which makes Cai Cong sad when he thinks about it.

"Master Hou, please rest assured, Bao has not forgotten what you said when he came to this day. This time, he went out with Li Jing, and if he had the opportunity, Bora would break through Jieli's sweat tent and capture him alive. If he doesn't have the chance, discipline him for the sin of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart. ”

Meng Baolai gritted his teeth and said, wasn't it because of Cai Cong's promise that the group of people were willing to go to Taibai Mansion with them back then?

"I'm going to thousands of mountains and rivers, take care of yourself, I hope that when you return, you will be knighted for military merit and crowned as a wife and son." Cai Cong said with blessings, Meng Baolai has been with him for the longest time, the relationship between the two is not like that of superiors and subordinates, but more of a teacher and friend, of course Cai Cong hopes that Meng Baolai is good.

"You two, I'm not in Chang'an, you must protect the Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye has the slightest injury, I will come back and kill the two of you. Master Hou, Bao Lai is gone, take care. ”

Meng Baolai said to Xu Jie and Fang Yuan very seriously, if something really happened to Cai Cong, he would definitely kill the two of them when he came back.

Cai Cong waved his hand at him, and watched the army set out, and tens of thousands of people embarked on the journey of Dingxiang Road, from where they would open the glory of the Tang Dynasty and let the prosperous era come.

The Cai family caravan escorted the grain and grass with the army, which made hundreds of people grateful, and some people walked in front of Cai Cong with their families and kowtowed to Cai Cong with a bang, if it weren't for the Cai family caravan to take over the errand of transporting grain, I don't know how many people would be recruited as people's husbands.

In addition to the battle between the two armies, the most dangerous thing is actually the person who escorts the grain and grass, everyone knows that as long as the enemy's grain and grass is broken, it is equivalent to cutting off half of the enemy's life, so they will try their best to snatch and burn the enemy's grain and grass.

The Cai family caravan took over this errand, which can be regarded as saving their lives, and it is not surprising that the whole family came to thank them.

Cai Cong sat in the carriage and received a great gift from all those who came to bow down, which was for the people of the caravan, and the people suffered on behalf of others, and some people may stay on the grassland forever, and it is not too much to receive this gift.

As soon as the army left, everyone's hearts were empty, and they couldn't say why they just felt uncomfortable.

Du He and Du Gou knelt in front of Du Ruhui in Du Fuli, and the two secretly begged Li Shimin, and finally Li Shimin made a decree not to use the two of them to go with the army.

"Chang'an Hou mistook my son!"

Du Ruhui didn't punish the two of them, and after letting them get up, he sighed and said.

The two brothers of the Du family didn't think that Cai Cong had mistaken them, but they were faintly grateful to Cai Cong in their hearts, because they saw that when their father was alone, they showed a painful look of being tortured by illness.

Official positions and fame can be sought again, but if they can't serve their parents and their fathers, I'm afraid it will become a pain in their lives.

Li Shimin is afraid that he is also a little guilty, otherwise it would be impossible to agree to the request of the Du family brothers.

Recently, the officialdom of Chang'an has been a little impetuous, and the outcome of the war is unpredictable. Li Shimin is full of confidence in the army, but he is also worried that the army will have any accidents, whether it will be defeated and return, and his temper has been irritable a lot in a few days, and even a few palace people were beaten by him because of small mistakes, Wei Zheng wrote a few words in one breath, and persuaded Li Shimin not to act wantonly because of his own joy and anger like which tyrants, this is not the behavior of a Ming Jun.

In the early days of the dynasty today, Wei Zheng began to say Li Shimin again, Li Lao Er pinched the pen case, tried his best to control his emotions, and finally resisted the urge to throw the pen case out. In order to hide his unhappiness, he picked up a copy of the book and read it, and saw that Xuanzang asked to go out of Kansai to ask for the scriptures, so he picked up Zhu Pi and made a big cross, and wrote four words on the side.

The monk sighed, Li Lao Er was much more comfortable, and he patiently finished handling the government affairs before announcing his retirement from the dynasty, and when he saw Wei Zheng, who was unrelentingly chasing, he was frightened and quickened his pace.

Xuanzang is quite tall, thin, and a little dark, probably because he walked from Luoyang to Chang'an, and he didn't eat well or rest well, so he looked a little malnourished.

Don't think that Xuanzang is famous only when he comes back from Journey to the West, he is now a very famous monk, otherwise no one would be willing to give Li Shimin a chapter for him.

When he came to Chang'an, he was sought after, Gao Shilian invited guests and held a lively banquet, there were many big people in attendance, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan, Fang Xuanling, these great writers, great writers came, and even the Yan family sent people to receive invitations.

Only when Cai Cong received the invitation, he said lightly: "Stupid and stupid monk like a pig, don't see it, go back and tell Elder Gao, next time Benhou will set up a banquet for his old man to apologize, and if he has time to see this monk, Benhou might as well go and see which old people in Chang'an have a difficult winter, and go to help." ”

When Cai Cong said this, Gao Shilian's subordinates naturally didn't dare to say anything, and went back to relay Cai Cong's words to Gao Shilian.

Gao Shilian smiled bitterly and said to Xuanzang: "This Cai Cong is extremely smart, thinking that he knows that there is no good banquet, so he simply won't come." Master, this official has done his best, it seems that it is hopeless for you to go west. ”

"The heart of the poor monk to the west has not changed, the Marquis of Chang'an is a wise man who is not born in the world, although the adults invite everyone, they can't hide his wisdom. It's a pity that Chang'an Hou only knows himself, but he doesn't know the suffering of the people in the world, if everyone is like a dragon, why should the poor monk go west to seek the supreme scriptures? ”

Xuanzang had compassion on his face, he had a great wish, and went to the Buddha country to ask for the essence of Buddhism to change the status quo of Buddhism, no matter how difficult it was, he could not change his original intention.

He boarded the platform built by Gao Shilian for him, and taught Buddhism to the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling waved his sleeves halfway, and the rest of the wine and meat laughed and Meiji was in his arms, and his law had no market at all at this moment, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty repressed the Buddha, and he must follow it, except for a few old people who were old enough to do what they wanted, no one listened to him at the huge banquet, which made him more determined to change the embarrassing situation of Buddhism.

Cai Cong really didn't have as many eyes as Xuanzang thought, he just felt that it was a waste of time. After Xuanzang went, he would find that the monks of Tianzhu had forgotten what the Buddha was, and the erosive Tianzhu Buddhism made him feel afraid.

It took more than ten years to translate some scriptures, so it is better to use this time to edit and revise the existing scriptures and change Buddhism to be closer to the reality of the Tang Dynasty.

So when Cai Cong returned home from outside, a monk stood at the door and had been waiting for him for a long time.

Xuanzang's IQ and EQ are very good, and when he saw that Gao Shilian brought a hundred taels of gold, he knew that he had the intention to avoid himself, so he found a reason to leave Gaofu.

In order to show his sincerity, he stood at the door of Cai's mansion for a long time, hoping that Cai Cong could feel his sincerity, but unfortunately he was a chess piece in Cai Cong's eyes, so he would look at him more?

In this way, he stood until the sun came out the next day, and no one in the Hou Mansion received him, Xuanzang left Chang'an with firm steps towards the rising sun, and no one in Chang'an has seen him again.
