Chapter 660: The Ladder of Heaven
The day after the welcoming ceremony, Zhang Bao'er invited the high priest to his residence and talked with him about business. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"High Priest, I came here this time, and someone wants to ask the High Priest for help!" Zhang Baoer finally explained her intentions.
"Lord Qincha, you are polite, just say anything, as long as I can do it, there will be no problem!" The high priest swore an oath.
Zhang Baoer explained in detail the ins and outs of the great wizard's poisoning.
When the high priest heard this, he could not help but be silent.
After a long time, he said in a heavy tone: "The Great Wizard has been missing for a long time, and we have arranged for many people to search around, but there has been no news, if Lord Qincha doesn't say it today, I don't know that the Great Wizard has ascended to heaven!" ”
Speaking of this, the high priest sighed and said, "Lord Qincha, it's not that I can't help in this matter, it's that I really can't help. Although the Great Wizard and I both refine Gu, the methods are completely different, and there may be only one person in the entire Aconitum Man Cottage who can help. But I'm sure this man will never help you! ”
Zhang Baoer was not discouraged, he resolutely said: "Since you are here, you have to give it a try, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, as long as you do your best, you can get peace of mind." Say, high priest, who is this man? ”
The High Priest sighed deeply, his face melancholy, as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
Zhang Bao'er saw the high priest's hesitation, and added another fire: "If the high priest is willing to help, the younger generation is willing to find a way to solve the long-standing problem between the Nanban and the Shuzhou government once and for all." ”
"Oh? Tell me about it, Lord Chincha! Listening to Zhang Bao'er's words, the high priest was a little moved.
"As far as I know, there is a person in Shuzhou, a person in Shuzhou, a person in the long history, and all three of them have the power to play the imperial court. If I suggest to the imperial court in the name of the minister of the Qincha that in the future there be one more special driver in Shuzhou, and this special driver will be selected by the Nanban Eighteen Villages, and then appointed by the imperial court, what will be the consequences of doing so? Zhang Baoer quietly threw out her own suggestions.
When the high priest heard this, a look of excitement appeared on his face. This idea is too good, and it will be beneficial to both Datang and Nanban.
For the imperial court, the advantages are obvious: first, it can allow the barbarians to quickly return to their hearts, and effectively avoid the riots and rebellions of the barbarians. Second, the decrees that could not be exercised by the government in the past could be implemented by the appointed Nanban Beijia, so as to achieve the effect of using barbarism to control barbarianism. The third is that there is one more Nanban who will not drive to the imperial court, which can allow the imperial court to have a more comprehensive understanding of the real situation in Shuzhou, so as to avoid a similar situation like Zhong Wenhuan from happening again. Such a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, and only need to pay a different position, the court will inevitably agree.
For the Southern Barbarians, this is also a dream: First, this move will greatly improve the status of the Southern Barbarians, you must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no precedent for the Southern Barbarians to be officials. Second, this move respects the customs and habits of the Nanban people, and the affairs of the Nanban are handled by the Nanban Beijia in accordance with the customs of the Nanban, which is equivalent to recognizing the equality of the Tang people and the Nanban people. The third is to open a channel for the future to reach the heavens, and there will no longer be the same as before.
The change in the high priest's expression had already fallen into Zhang Bao'er's eyes, and he knew that there was a play, so he looked at the high priest: "High priest, you see ......"
The high priest finally made up his mind: "I can only say do my best, and I dare not say what the final result will be now!" ”
Zhang Bao'er stood up and saluted: "Thank you to the high priest!" ”
"That's it, Lord Qincha, you go back first, I'll help you ask, and I'll tell you the result!"
The words of the high priest reached such a point, Zhang Bao'er had no choice but to return to his residence.
About an hour later, the high priest came to Zhang Bao'er, and although his face was tired, he came with good news: "That person agreed, but at the same time put forward three conditions!" ”
"On what terms?" Everyone asked in unison.
"I don't know!" The high priest was also helpless, and that person asked you to ask in person tomorrow.
The next day, the high priest took Zhang Bao'er and others to a remote bamboo building.
The high priest pointed to the bamboo building: "People are in the bamboo building!" ”
Zhang Bao'er hugged his fists and said loudly: "Zhang Bao'er greets the seniors!" ”
There was no movement in the bamboo building, and Zhang Baoer shouted three times in a row, but there was still no movement.
Zhang Baoer turned her head to look at the high priest, and saw that the high priest was also surprised.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the bamboo building. Everyone knew that it was Langkun, the disciple of the high priest.
Lang Kun walked in front of Zhang Bao'er, didn't look at him, went straight to the high priest, said a few words to the high priest in his ear, and then went up to the bamboo tower with a blank face.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the high priest smiled bitterly: "The first condition is to let Lord Qincha go to the ladder!" ”
Looking at the high priest's expression, it seemed that the other party had put forward an impossible condition.
"Ladder? What is a ladder? Zhang Baoer asked curiously.
"Please come with me!"
The High Priest led them to the legendary ladder of the Aconitum Man.
On the cliff, there is a steel knife with no blade and only a sharp blade, and it goes straight into the sky along the mountain wall. The lower the ladder, the more rusty the blade is, and the higher it goes, the sharper the blade, dazzling in the sunlight. The ladder to the halfway point of the mountain is already covered with clouds and mist, and the peak can still be seen, which is quite shocking.
Of course, Jiang Yuqiao knew that this matter was extremely dangerous, and his face showed a grim look, and he said to Zhang Bao'er: "Bao'er, this is too risky, you can't go!" ”
Although Zhang Bao'er was also stunned in his heart, thinking that Jiang Xiaotong and the others' lives were hanging by a thread, he couldn't care so much, he gritted his teeth and said: "Please wait a while, senior, I'll go to the ladder!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Baoer walked towards the ladder.
Under the ladder, Jiang Yuqiao, Uncle Hua and Ying'er still wanted to persuade Zhang Bao'er, but they couldn't open their mouths, if Zhang Bao'er didn't go, what would Jiang Xiaotong do? Is it just waiting to die?
It was the high priest who spoke first: "Since Lord Chincha has decided, I will pray to the heavens here to bless Lord Chincha and bless Lord Chincha to return safely!" ”
"No, you can't go......" Ying'er suddenly hugged Zhang Bao'er, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Ying'er, I have to go, you know......" Zhang Bao'er also felt sour, he said to Ying'er: "If I can't come back, tell Xiaotong for me, I did my best, I will wait for her in heaven!" ”
On the bamboo tower not far away, a handsome barbarian woman watched this scene, and her eyes were full of tears.
Seeing her like this, Lang Kun next to him was very dissatisfied: "He is your father's killer, how can you cry for him?" ”
