Yuan Yun looked at the long fleet of ships behind him, his face was already smiling, even if the night was still very deep, Shi Shen and Xiao Liu could also see that strange face, which could only be described in one sentence, the villain was ambitious. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Duan Xuan will definitely retaliate frantically in the future this time, but his strength is really not very good, if he wants to fight against the four thousand gunpowder army in Luoyang, at least he must have more than ten times the number of people, and what Duan Xuan lacks most is well-trained soldiers.

This era is like this, soldiers are not professional, half peasants and half soldiers, when there is a war, they will organize and practice, and then they will be assigned to the battlefield, they are all cultivators in the fields on weekdays, and the Chang'an territory has been plagued by Li Dao for many years, the population has withered, and the people in the prime of life are even fewer, and it is difficult to form a team of 10,000 people.

Duan Xuan can sit firmly in Chang'an, in fact, the biggest factor is Cao Cao behind him, as well as Luoyang's formed gunpowder army.

Zhang Lu has already seen the power of the gunpowder army, coupled with the persecution of Liu Zhang, he will never send troops to attack Chang'an unless he has to do it, and Ma Teng of Xiliang has just been awarded the title of General Andi by the imperial court, and he will never be an enemy of Cao Cao at this time.

Duan Xuan has few soldiers, but Chang'an is as stable as Mount Tai, in the final analysis, it is all the credit of others, so Yuan Yun looks down on this person even more, this thing has repeatedly made trouble in Luoyang, this time it is a big lesson for him, and in the future, Duan Xuan will know how to know how to be small-minded, and he must be taboo.

The fleet stretched for more than a mile, and in the moonlight, the whole river was densely packed with all kinds of ships, and each ship was fully loaded, and the draft was very deep, which also greatly reduced the speed of travel.

Yuan Yun doesn't care about time now, the construction of Luoyang has basically stabilized, there is not much difference between him and his absence, as long as the craftsmen and laborers continue to work according to the drawings marked, everything will develop rapidly, plus the money and grain looted back from Chang'an this time is not a small number, and the development of Luoyang will inevitably climb to a new level.

Just when Yuan Yun was enjoying the night and thinking about the problem, Li He walked out of the cabin and came to the end of the deck before bowing and saluting: "Lord, those monks have asked to see you." ”

Before Yuan Yun could answer, Shi Shen leaned his head over and asked suspiciously, "Monk? This name is interesting, why do they call it this name, it sounds weird and awkward, it is better to call it a bald donkey directly, monk, haha, it must be that these bald donkeys are afraid that others will laugh at them, so they came up with such a name. ”

The corners of Li He's mouth twitched, and he looked at Shi Shen and said, "The monk's name is the one who called those Buddhists. ”

Shi Shen was startled, and just wanted to escape, but was kicked away by Yuan Yun, only then did he see Yuan Yun patting his chest and saying: "Lao Tzu called them monks, they called monks, Shi Shen, do you have any opinions?" ”

Shi Shen's face immediately became a little serious, and he nodded: "The little one has no knowledge, and the lord is a wise person, so he naturally knows about this group of bald ...... The names of these Buddhists, then we will call them monks in the future. ”

Yuan Yun frowned, thinking in his heart that Shi Shen was really right, that is, the word 'bald donkey', and later generations basically used these two words to belittle the Buddha's family.

Ignoring Shi Shen, who looked flattering, Yuan Yun waved his hand and entered the cabin with Li He.

The shipbuilding technology of this era is still very backward, so it is impossible to install too many windows on the ship, so the cabins of most ships are very dark, but this is not Yuan Yun's trouble, now Luoyang has lamp oil refined from coal, the black smoke is small, the brightness is high, and the cabin in front of him is much brighter.

Yuan Yun looked at the lamp oil in the lampshade with satisfaction, and began to think about this new product in his heart, thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, now he is really trying his best to rebuild Luoyang, and he wants to take out everything he sees to make money back, which is really unlucky.

Not long after, Li He had already come to a cabin, where there were two guards, and when they saw Yuan Yun coming, they all saluted.

Yuan Yun nodded and smiled, and then entered the cabin, only to see that the facilities in the room were very simple, and the straw had dried up for a long time, and four bare-headed monks knelt on the straw, the youngest one was estimated to be five or six years old, and their heads were lined with oil lamps, which could reflect the light, which made Yuan Yun almost laugh.

"This is the city order of Luoyang, Yuan Yun Yuan Hou?" It was an old man who spoke, and he was about fifty years old, and his appearance was very solemn and majestic.

Yuan Yun arched his hand slightly, and said, "It's Yuan Yun below, I don't know what to call the master?" ”

The old man had already been helped by the two young disciples to stand up, and then bowed and saluted: "Yuan Hou calls the poor monk Zhi Liang, but the master doesn't dare to be it." ”

Yuan Yun only looked down on Zhiliang's face completely under the illumination of the oil lamp at this time, he was indeed in his fifties, but his appearance was very different from that of the Han people, his nose was straight and his eyes were deep, and his cheekbones were still very high, he should be of the blood of the Western Regions, and he didn't seem to be in good health, and he was still a little shaky when he was supported by two disciples.

At this time, Shi Shen and Xiao Liu had already moved a few Taishi chairs, and after everyone sat down, Yuan Yun continued: "I don't know what happened to your master and apprentice going to Chang'an?" How could he be caught in the dungeon by Duan Xuan? ”

Zhi Liang was slightly stunned, and did not answer the question first, but said with a wry smile: "The poor monk is only thirty and two this year, and the three of them are not my disciples, but my junior disciples, Yuan Hou is afraid that he has misunderstood." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Zhi Liang and the three young monks beside him with some surprise, this is also too different, but since everyone has said so, just believe it, there is nothing to argue.

After Zhi Liang said this, he immediately clasped his hands together and muttered: "The poor monk came to Chang'an this time, originally to go out of Xiliang to Dayue's clan, who knew that he was stopped by Duan Hou when he arrived in Chang'an, and only said that we should do something that we couldn't do, and after we refused, he locked us up, we were originally a group of six people, and the other two had been beaten to death by Duan Hou, Amitabha. ”

Good guy, you are really a compassionate Buddha, everyone Duan Xuan has killed the two of you, you still wait for a while, and you will greet his ancestors for the eighteenth generation after Lao Tzu is looking for it.

After Yuan Yun sighed, he asked curiously, "I don't know what Duan Xuan is going to let you do?" ”

Zhi Liang replied: "Duan Hou plans to let us find a way to poison Ma Teng's diet when we go to Xiliang, which is really not what a monk should do, so the poor monk will categorically refuse." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a large amount of information had already been passed through his mind, and it was rumored that Duan Xuan had fornicated with Ma Teng, it seems that this rumor is not true, otherwise why would he poison the other party?

Duan Xuan hadn't opened the trade road in the Western Regions yet, and Yuan Yun decisively came to a conclusion.

"Now that we have all been rescued by Yuan Hou, I don't know if we can go to Luoyang with Yuan Hou's big ship, and the poor monk wants to go to see the White Horse Temple." Zhi Liang said again.

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Naturally, I want to send you to Luoyang, but the White Horse Temple there is now dilapidated, although Benhou was appointed by the imperial court to rebuild Luoyang, but the materials are limited, and it is impossible to repair there first, so you masters are not strange." ”

Zhi Liang laughed and said, "It's okay, as long as you can go to the White Horse Temple, the poor monk is already very satisfied." ”

Yuan Yun promised again, and then said to Li He beside him: "Arrange a better cabin for a few masters, and let the people from the medical camp come to see it, and get some food and water by the way, they are not prisoners." ”

Li He made a promise, and then went out of the cabin to prepare, and only after taking a few steps, he heard Yuan Yun say again: "Only prepare vegetarian dishes, not meat, and Buddhists are not allowed to eat meat." ”

As soon as these words came out, let alone Li He, even Zhi Liang was full of doubts, when was the monk not allowed to eat meat? I really hadn't heard of it, but thinking that it was now on the river, it was normal for the boat to lack meat, so a few monks didn't think much about it, and they were already very satisfied with food.

Yuan Yun looked at Zhi Liang's eyes and felt that something was wrong, the monk who couldn't eat meat didn't seem to appear at this time, but in an instant, Yuan Yun smiled, and didn't bother to continue to think about it, even if these monks felt that he Yuan Yun was stingy, it didn't matter, so it was the best, lest they beg themselves to allocate materials to repair the White Horse Temple, and then they would really have a headache.

After saluting several monks of Zhiliang again, Yuan Yuncai returned to the deck with Shi Shen and Xiaoliu, because he really didn't know what to say with these monks, and he already knew Duan Xuan's secret, so it was better to arrange it earlier.

Li He quickly changed the cabins for the four monks, and according to Yuan Yun's instructions, he sent a lot of vegetables and rice, but let these monks have a full meal.

The big ship continued to move forward, and after a night, it had already left the boundary of Chang'an, and then thought about Hongnong's shore and drove over, until the morning of the second day, Yuan Yun ordered all the staff to change back into the costume of the gunpowder army, and the big ship was also hung with the banner of Yuan Houfu, and completely became an official ship.

Since Yuan Yun said that these monks were not prisoners, they also had the right to move freely, but they were still confined to their cabins and decks, and Zhi Liang understood this.

Out of the deck, two young monks took the four or five-year-old monk and began to chant and pray, and from time to time prostrate towards the position of the west, this behavior almost made Yuan Yun mistakenly think that they believed in Islam, if this is the case, but it will be a place, because that sect has more terrorists.

After thinking about it gloomily in his heart, Yuan Yun smiled and said hello to the two young monks, who knew that the two monks were smirking at the people, and they didn't speak, and after laughing, they continued to chant the scriptures, and then continued to bow to the west.

The little monk seemed to be very curious about Yuan Yun, and always looked up from time to time, and his eyes were full of 100,000 whys.

Yuan Yun was energetic at this time, and took a few steps forward to take out a piece of milk candy from his sleeve, and then sent it to the little monk's hand, and then asked, "How old are you?" ”

The little monk took the toffee, and then was about to stuff it into his mouth like Yuan Yun, but was immediately snatched away by the other two young monks, and then stuffed into his mouth.

Yuan Yun frowned, how could there be such a monk who snatched food in front of him, it was really too unreasonable, so Yuan Yun took out another toffee and handed it to the little monk, who knew that those young monks continued to snatch it and stuffed it into their mouths.

Angry, Yuan Yun was completely angry, and ordered Shi Shen to make a sound, and instantly moved a pocket, Yuan Yun kept taking out the milk candy from the cloth bag, and then stuffed it to the little monk.

The two young monks just smirked, Yuan Yun gave one, and they ate one, in short, they didn't let the little monk stuff it into their mouths, so that after a stalemate of two incense sticks, the two monks seemed to suddenly feel dizzy, and they began to swing when they walked.

Yuan Yun clapped his palms at this time, and then said with a wicked smile: "Fight with Lao Tzu, I don't believe that you also drink a lot of alcohol, and anyone can afford the toffee that Lao Tzu added to the wine?" ”

At this time, I only heard the little monk say in a very unpleasant Chinese dialect: "Them, their brains are not good, Yuan Hou should not be angry." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, turned around and looked at the two young monks again, and found that they were indeed a little demented, so he immediately shouted in his heart, why should he fight with a fool if he has nothing to do, he is unlucky.

At the same time, Yuan Yun was stunned again, and then looked at the five or six-year-old little monk, although this little guy looks very Han, but the Chinese language is ugly enough, at this time, the two stupid monks have begun to mumble drunken words, and none of the words spoken can be heard.

Immediately, Yuan Yun seemed to understand something, glanced at the little monk beside him and then at the two stupid monks, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
