Dean Zhou seemed to be able to leave Qiu Yu's last sentence of wisdom because you obviously didn't care about letting him go, he pouted and said: "Speaking of which, people still have the ability, and the masters in Chang'an City who can get on the stage go to a small half, but they are still taken away...... You are not wrong to say that I let him go, after all, everyone in Chang'an City who knows about this thinks that only I can capture him. ”

"But...... There is only one you in Chang'an City, there are four Tianzun in the Buddha Sect, and there is a big wheel king. There are also 3,000 golden-bodied monks who are said to be invulnerable to swords. ”

Qiu Yu said seriously.

"yes...... There are four Heavenly Venerables, and there is also a Great Wheel Ming King. ”

Dean Zhou shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully as he walked: "But when the Great Sui army marches westward, how many monks and soldiers are available, and how many Tianzun can move, who knows?" You couldn't have moved one eleven years ago, so there should be at least one this time, right? ”

Qiu Yu didn't understand this sentence.

He wasn't a witness to the fierce battle eleven years ago, and she didn't have access to this level at that time.

But Qiu Yu heard something from Dean Zhou's words, she didn't participate in what happened eleven years ago, but that didn't mean she didn't know. So what immediately came to her mind was that someone was heading west again? Eleven years ago, that amazing and brilliant man took a group of people who died generously in the Great Sui and resolutely traveled westward, and the heavens and the earth changed color. Eleven years later, who has the courage, courage and strength to go west again?

She wanted to ask, but she knew that Dean Zhou would definitely not say.

I don't know why, but Dean Zhou's temperament changed after he said this. Qiu Yu looked at his back, and suddenly felt a trace of cold desolation.

Dean Zhou, are you unwilling?

She wasn't sure, and she couldn't be sure.

Changchun Garden

Dome

Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards, bowed down and stood in front of the emperor, his face solemn and worried. The news he had just learned was so shocking that from the time he learned the news to the time he rushed to the vault to tell His Majesty, his heart beat at least twice as fast as usual.

The news that can make a figure like him so uncalm is equally important to Da Sui and His Majesty.

After the emperor heard Luo Weiran finish speaking, the brush in his hand fell on the low table with a click. His hands trembled slightly, and he tried to pick up the brush but didn't seem to dare to reach out. He hung his head slightly, his face turned pale, and something gradually poured out of his eyes involuntarily, wetting his eyes.

"Eleven years ago...... I ascended the throne as the emperor ......"

After a long silence, the Emperor took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, picked up the brush that had fallen on the low table, and slowly inserted it back into the pen holder. This simple action seemed to consume a lot of his strength. So much so that even his voice trembled slightly.

He looked at the piece on the low table that was stained red with the red ink of the brush, and seemed to see a large red stain of blood.

"Because of the entanglement between me and my brothers, even the court is unstable. Before his death, the first emperor pointed out that I was the one who inherited the throne, so didn't he want to end this matter quickly and stabilize the dynasty? But after all, people still saw the flaws, thinking that there were cracks in the foundation of the Great Sui. Less than half a year after I ascended the throne, I imprisoned my brother and deposed my younger brother, and I still have no heirs, if I die again, the Great Sui will inevitably be in turmoil. ”

"Meng Yuan's people gathered a large number of masters to prepare to sneak east into the Great Sui, and Li Yuanshan detected the news and quickly reported it to Chang'an. Lao Qi traveled alone from Chang'an, and went all the way west without even saying anything to me. He has a wide range of contacts in the rivers and lakes, and he kills Hu Ling all the way. When he arrived at the northwest border, there were hundreds of high-rollers following him. In the northwest, Lao Qi led people to kill all the masters of Meng Yuan with swords, I thought he would return to Chang'an, but he only asked people to bring me back one sentence......"

"Great Sui Tianwei, Your Majesty Tianwei, how can barbarians offend at will? If they dare to come, why don't they dare to go? Let those people in the west know that no one is allowed to blaspheme His Majesty's majesty, not even to think about it. If you have a thought, then kill them and let them know the strength of the Great Sui. ”

When the emperor finished saying this, the tears in his eyes could not be stopped.

He took his friends with him, and most of the hundreds of people were killed and wounded after the first battle, and only a hundred people remained...... But they walked out of the Great Sui without hesitation, crossed the Wolf Milk Mountain and entered Mengyuan all the way west. I don't know how many people I killed or how many people died that time, but I know that I haven't seen this brother since. For the sake of me, for the sake of the Great Sui, he threw away everything he should have and was not afraid of life and death. ”

"It's been eleven years, and I haven't seen him in eleven years."

The Emperor watched as his tears fell, wetting the low table, and melting away the small patch of crimson ink.

"Eleven years later, did he guess that I was going to use troops against Meng Yuan? Therefore, in order to win the banner and help me alleviate the obstacles, he went west again. He knew my ambition from the beginning, and he knew that I wanted to plant the dragon flag of the Great Sui on the west side of the Wolf Milk Mountain. Before the first emperor fell seriously ill, he asked me about the ambition of the seven brothers. The eldest brother said to stabilize the Great Sui and build a 10,000-year foundation. The third brother said that he would sweep away the remnants of southern Xinjiang and cleanse the remnants of Eastern Chu. ”

"I only said two words, to the west. The seventh brother said five words and helped the fourth brother to the west. ”

"I know, and it is precisely because of this sentence that the first emperor will pass the throne to me before his death. And because of this sentence, Lao Qi has never stopped. ”

"He has always understood me best, and he has always been ......"

"But for the sake of the westward expedition, I had to pretend that nothing had happened. Instead of giving those heroes the honor they deserved, they also signed an agreement with Meng Yuan's Great Khan Meng Ge to designate the northwest of the place where they had fought and fought as a place for trade...... He hasn't come back to see me for eleven years, is he blaming me? Is it strange that I have turned the land they have sworn to protect into a copper-smelling bazaar? Those heroes who sleep underground will they curse me every day when they see the barbarians of the Western Regions walking into the gate of the Great Sui Kingdom? ”

The emperor's tears, for the first time in eleven years, were released so without scruples.

"Eleven years later, he traveled west again, still for the sake of my ......"

Luo Weiran hung his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor's appearance, let alone look at the emperor's tears. His heart hurts, because the person who has traveled west twice in the past eleven years also has a relationship with him.

……

……

Gyeonggi Province is mountainous, especially surrounded by mountains north of Chang'an City. It looks as if a huge crescent moon is half-surrounding the majestic Chang'an City. Ordinary people don't know much about feng shui topography, but they have also heard people mention that the terrain of Chang'an City is very good, which can protect the foundation of the Great Sui for thousands of years. The people don't understand why feng shui can keep the Great Sui, isn't it those hot-blooded sons and daughters in the frontier who can keep the Great Sui?

But this did not hinder his good mood, after all, it was never a bad thing for them to have more consolidation in the Great Sui.

The mountains are half embraced, and Chang'an does not fall.

This sentence has been circulated for a hundred years, and it is said that it was said by a master of the world when Emperor Taizu set the capital here.

It has been four days since he walked into this mountain, and Fang Hatshui has been living humbly and cautiously. He and the young monk carried the old monk all the way through the mountains and rivers. He did not dare to show the slightest reluctance, for he did not see the slightest reluctance on the young monk's face. It was as if the young monk was carrying the old monk forward, and there was no doubt about it.

And the old monk also sat peacefully on the sliding pole, hardly moving around on his own.

In the four days since entering the mountain, although Fang Hatshui was very tired, he didn't need the young monk to tell him anything, he took the initiative to find a water source and food. He became more and more like a qualified servant, serving his two masters with all his heart.

Sitting on a clean bluestone, the old monk glanced at the back of the Sui people who were struggling to climb to a high place to find food, and the corners of his mouth picked up: "Can you see that he is different from before?" ”

The disciple felt that he had compromised because of fear.

"Why so?"

"Because...... Even if the Sui people have demons in their hearts, they are still afraid of death. ”

"Haha"

The old monk seemed to be in a very good mood, and couldn't help laughing happily: "I thought about traveling east a long time ago to see how strong and domineering this great Sui who came out of the great demon eleven years ago is. Before I came, even I felt that the Sui people could not be bullied. Because the man declared this by the most direct means back then, I never doubted it. But this time, I found that the Sui people were far less powerful than I imagined. ”

"In that case, what else is there to fear from the Sui people? Just cutting a piece of meat can turn a Sui person into a slave...... If the man who traveled west eleven years ago knew about it, he would not know how to feel. ”

Chenya thought for a while and said, "But the disciple also feels that there is still unyielding in the hearts of this Sui people. ”

"Everyone has unyielding in their hearts, and it depends on how to surrender this unyieldingness. When I was in the Great Snow Mountain, I meditated behind closed doors, and I used to think about how to deal with the invasion of demons from the east one day, or how the Buddhist mission to the east would begin. I thought about it for a long time and determined that the Sui people's ambition could not be taken away, so they could only kill. Therefore, if you want to spread the teachings of Buddhism all over the eastern land, you can only kill the Sui people in their prime and even the elderly, and only leave the children to teach slowly, and then they can be naturalized. Because this was something that could not be done at all, I stopped thinking of going to the East to preach. ”

"Now, I finally understand that I was too obsessed at the beginning, how can there be a truly unyielding person in this world? The reason why the Sui people are strong is because they have not been defeated, so they think that they will never be defeated. A hundred years later, this kind of thinking has made every Sui person proud. But in reality...... Just cut a piece of flesh on them and they will surrender. Whatever you say, they will comply. ”

"The Sui people are not unbreakable, and the Sui State is not unbreakable. When I go back, I will explain this to King Ming. ”

The old monk smiled very brightly, and the smugness in his eyes was also very strong: "If you don't go east, you won't be able to see the facts behind the fog." What a hypocritical pride the pride of the Sui people is, and what a pitiful myth the invincibility of the Sui people. ”

"Master, shouldn't this person be brought all the way back to the Great Snow Mountain, let King Ming take a look, the Sui people turned out to be like this."

Chenya asked.

"If you don't need to kill him, it's better to bring him back."

The old monk said indifferently: "However, I may have to kill him today." ”

"Why?"

Chenya asked.

The old monk sighed: "Along the way, I moved to check, although this mountain is majestic and wide, but it is a dead mountain, there is no living thing in the mountain except for trees and weeds, Chang'an City is built to seize the mystery of heaven and earth, and the aura of this mountain is exhausted, so there is nothing to eat in the mountain, there is nothing." And the dry food brought by the Sui man has already been eaten......"

Chenya was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Save some, you can eat for a few days." ”

At this time, the ragged Fang Hatshui climbed back down the slope with difficulty. He panted and walked up to the old monk and said guiltily, "I'm sorry...... There was nothing to eat, not even wild fruits. ”

When he said this, he saw the strange look in the eyes of the old monk and Chenya. In an instant, fear filled Fang Hatshui's heart.

Just when he was stunned, Chenya took a step forward.

Fang Hatshui knelt down almost at the same time, and then kowtowed sincerely and said, "Cut my flesh to eat, I am willing to sacrifice myself to the mage." ”

As soon as these words came out, they made Chenya and the old monk stunned.

A moment later, the old monk's smug laughter floated deep in the mountains.

Chenya asked, don't you eat it yourself?

Don't eat!

Why?

Save some ...... Get out of this mountain, and you won't have to eat me.

But this sentence, Fang hated water did not dare to say.
