Yu Qing replied: "The heroes above, the two of them came on the orders of Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of the Taiyuan Guard, and the envoy of the Hedong Festival, Liu Zhiyuan, to discuss important matters, and I hope to report it." ”

The man asked, "What are your tokens?" ”

Yu Qing shouted loudly: "Yes! As he spoke, he threw the jade plaque onto the earthen fort.

The man caught the jade plaque, looked at it, and said, "You two are waiting here for the time being, let me go in and make a report." ”

After about a quarter of an hour, the gate opened, and a little novice came out and said, "Two donors, please come with me!" ”

Xiao Shami led Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyin to the door of a temple, only to see a plaque with three cinnabar characters written on the temple door that read "Lanruo Temple".

Entering the main hall, I saw that the main hall was solemn and solemn, the momentum was magnificent, and there was an old nun who wore a ten-sided Pilu hat on the altar of the main hall, wearing nine gold-rimmed robes, meditating with both hands, with a warm and kind complexion, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

On the left and right sides of the old nun are two middle-aged men sitting cross-legged, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes on the left, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist. The face on the right is grim, the expression is resolute, and there is a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

There were nine big men on both sides of the main hall, and in the entire hall, except for the old nun on the altar, all the others were not monks.

Yu Qing couldn't help but feel strange, since entering the Wolf Mountain, a huge Lanruo Temple, except for the little novice who came to connect, there was not even a monk and nun, all the people he saw along the way were ordinary people, there were frolicking boys, shouting men, and nursing women; There are people who pick dung and grow vegetables, there are people who herd cattle and wooden horses, there are people who push and grind rice, there are people who weave cloth and make clothes, and in addition to the knives, forks, swords, and halberds that can be seen everywhere. It seems that this is not a temple, but a fortress on the border of Tuntian.

After seeing Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyin come in, Xiao Sha Mi Heshi bowed to the old nun on the altar and said, "Master, the guests from Taiyuan have arrived!" ”

Yu Qing looked at the altar, but the nun still didn't move or speak.

While he was wondering, he saw the man sitting on the left side of the altar stand up and said, "Go down, my aunt knows!" He also said to Qinghe Zhao Kuangyin: "The person who came is the person sent by Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu?" ”

The little novice withdrew.

Yu Qing arched his hand and said: "Exactly!" ”

The man pointed to a futon on the right and said, "Please take a seat!" ”

Yu Qing stepped forward and sat cross-legged on the futon, with Zhao Kuangyin standing behind him.

Then the man said, "Your envoy, please allow me to introduce me first." ”

Yu Qing nodded and said, "Please!" ”

I saw that the man patted the clothes on his body, walked to the futon in the center of the main hall, knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the old nun on the altar and said: "My aunt is above, my nephew has kowtowed to you, my aunt's Dharma is boundless, I wish your old man's Dharma Venerable is with the sun and the moon, and with the heaven and earth, please bless me with the wind and rain in Wolf Mountain, the people are rich, the sheep are fat and the horses are strong, and the peace will always be maintained." After saying that, he kowtowed three more times.

The people in the main hall also knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "My aunt's Buddhism is boundless, and my merits are immeasurable, I wish my aunt the sun and the moon to shine with heaven and earth!" ”

Suddenly, all you have to do is listen to "Ho! As if a gust of wind was blowing, all the Buddhist lamps in the main hall were blazing. The man shouted: "My aunt has appeared, and my aunt's edict: all flat!" ”

Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyin looked at everything that pretended to be a ghost, looking at each other, not knowing what to say, and what was even more strange was that the old nun seemed to have maintained a posture all the time, not moving at all, which added a bit of mystery to this hall.

After the people in the main hall stood up, the man introduced himself: "Your envoy, Sun Fangjian of this seat, the left protector of Lanruo Temple, is also the master of the wolf cottage, this is the younger brother Sun Xingyou, the right protector, and the second master." The people on the left and right are the eighteen Arhats of my Lanruo Temple, and they are also the generals of Wolf Mountain. Dare to ask the noble envoy's name? ”

Yu Qing arched his hand and said: "Under Yu Qing, my brother's name is Zhao Kuangyin, and we came to your place on the order of Lord Liu to discuss relevant matters together." This is a handwritten letter from Lord Liu. ”

Sun Fangjian took out the jade plaque and asked, "Is this jade plaque a token you brought?" ”

Yu Qing said: "Exactly! ”

Sun Fangjian opened Liu Zhiyuan's handwritten letter and read it, laughed and said, "Hmph! I heard that Liu Zhiyuan has always been decisive and a person with great talents, but today, it seems that it is nothing more than that, my Sun overestimated him! ”

After hearing this, Yu Qing was surprised and asked, "Why did Lord Sun Zhai say this?" ”

Sun Fangjian said: "I will send someone to contact him to discuss important matters, and it is okay if he himself does not come in person, at least he must send a general to come!" Now they are just two unknown and unknown people, and what are you saying for the sake of prudence, if he is not timid and afraid, he looks down on us! ”

Zhao Kuangyin listened, sneered and said: "Lord Liu's prestige is famous far and wide, and it is said that Lord Liu has three treasures, do you know what kind of treasure Lord Liu Zhiyuan's first treasure is?" ”

Sun Fangjian laughed and said: "Joke, Liu Zhiyuan has three treasures, one is sweat and blood, and it is a divine beast tamed by his wife Li Sanniang in Yuci Mawo; The second is called the talisman armor, which was given by Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty; Three said ring head golden knife, this knife is made of black iron green steel and gold, according to legend for the Han Dynasty champion Hou, hussar general Huo Quai, Liu Zhiyuan was young in Qilian Mountain apprenticeship, his master Taiyi real person gifted. The first treasure of the three treasures is the sweat and blood BMW, not only can travel thousands of miles a day, cross the water without waves, step on the snow without a trace, and is a gift from his wife, Liu Zhiyuan regrets his life, who in the world does not know, who does not know? Do you really think I'm a lonely countryman? ”

Zhao Kuangyin continued: "Since you know, then do you know if Lord Liu's bloody BMW can be ridden by anyone?" ”

Sun Fangjian smiled and said: "Joke, this kind of rare BMW, how can ordinary people get involved, unless Liu Zhiyuan is a fool who doesn't know the goods." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "By the way, since you all know that this sweaty BMW is Lord Liu's favorite mount, it is not easy for ordinary people to ride it, even if it is touched." So do you know what kind of horse I rode when Brother Yu and I went to Khitan? ”

Sun Fangjian was asked by this stinky kid, as if he understood something, and said: "Fang Mou also heard that Lord Liu sent an envoy to the Khitan and gave the envoy a bloody BMW as a mount, I never believed it was true, is there really something about it?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and said arrogantly: "Yes, there is indeed someone who has something to do, and this person is in front of you." ”

Yu Qing said: "Yuen Long, why do you mention those things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains? Then he said to Sun Fangjian: "No matter what our status is, we are here today as the plenipotentiary of Lord Liu Zhiyuan to discuss important matters with you. We come sincerely, and we hope that you will treat it sincerely. ”

Sun Fangjian was skeptical of Zhao Kuangyin's words, but the token was true, and the handwritten letter was also true, he said: "Okay, if you come, you will be safe, please come with me." ”

Then he said to Sun Xingyou: "Xingyou, you come with you." ”

Sun Xingyou got up and followed Sun Fangjian to the side hall with Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyin.

Entering the side hall, Sun Fangjian beckoned Yu Qing to sit down, and then shouted loudly: "Jing Niang, serve tea!" ”

I heard a timid voice reply, "Yes!" ”

After a while, I saw a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old tremblingly entering the room with a tray carrying two cups of tea. When she walked in front of Yu Qing, due to nervousness, the teacup in the tray trembled violently, she put the tray on the coffee table, picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Yu Qing, the tea splashed out, almost splashing on Yu Qing's clothes.

Yu Qing saw her frightened look, so he said, "I'll come by myself!" He took the teacup.

Sun Fangjian couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "Little hoof, what's the point? You can't do such a trivial thing! ”

When the little girl heard this, she was immediately frightened, and suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The big boss spares his life!" ”

Seeing this, Sun Xingyou said impatiently: "Get up!" There's nothing to do with you here, so let's go to the side room and wait! ”

The girl named Jing Niang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, the second master!" Then he hurriedly knelt down and withdrew.

Sun Xingyou handed another cup of tea to Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Please use tea." ”

Sun Fangjian said: "It's not a secret, since this is the plenipotentiary representative of Gongzi Liu Zhiyuan, then I won't beat around the bush, just get straight to the point!" ”

Yu Qing said: "Please speak, big boss." ”

Sun Fangjian continued: "Actually, at the beginning, we used Wolf Mountain as a stronghold and built a wall as a fortress, which was also to protect ourselves and prevent the attacks of the Khitan Hu people. The Khitan also attacked us many times, but we were defeated, do you know why? ”

Yu Qing said: "I don't know, please make it clear to the big boss." ”

Sun Fangjian said: "That's all because of the boundless magic of my aunt, Buddhism blesses my disciples of Wolf Mountain, if it were not for the blessing of my aunt and her old man, there would be no me today." ”

"Oh! Is it? Since the master's magic power is boundless and she is blessed by Buddhism, why does the big boss still have to ask Lord Liu? ”

Sun Fangjian listened, his face turned red and white, and said, "This ......"

Sun Xingyou said: "Yu Shaoxia's words are wrong, we don't have to ask Lord Liu, but hope to cooperate with him." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Kuangyin interjected.

Sun Xingyou glanced at the young Zhao Kuangyin, and saw that although he was young, he was dignified and extraordinary, so he said, "Which of you two has the final say?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin knew that he shouldn't interject, and said embarrassedly: "My eldest brother Yu has the final say." ”

Yu Qing said: "No, whoever says it will be counted." ”

Yu Qing spoke for Zhao Kuangyin like this, and Zhao Kuangyin was very moved. Young and vigorous, he suddenly lost the embarrassed look he had just now, and said, "Yes, whoever we say will count." ”

Sun Xingyou continued: "In this case, please listen to me first. At the beginning, we gathered people to protect ourselves, not only successfully resisted the Khitan attack, but also gathered more than 1,000 households, so it was a family of 1,000 households. We fought against the Khitan for the imperial court, and we had no merit and hard work. The imperial court named my eldest brother as a traveling envoy and I as a deputy envoy, but this is just an empty title that fools people, and how many Khitan generals have we killed in the past year or so? How many Khitan supplies were seized? But we never reached out to the court to ask for a penny. The reason why we are invincible is that the Dharma is boundless and the immortal power is blessed. In order to repay my aunt's great kindness, we made a wish to give her old man's Dharma Venerable a golden body on my aunt's 100th birthday. For this, we asked the court for five thousand taels of gold. I didn't expect the imperial court to say that military spending was tight, and it was impossible to allocate gold, so we only gave us five hundred taels of silver, and we had more than 5,000 people, and an average of one person was less than 100 Wen. So we didn't say that we wanted to surrender to the Khitan, we really couldn't swallow this breath, although we surrendered to the Khitan, but we are all Central Plains people, how can we be willing to work for the Khitan and kill our Central Plains people? The current emperor is a useless guy, we heard that Liu Zhiyuan is still a well-known man, so we sent someone to get in touch with him, hoping to cooperate sincerely and conspire together. ”
