Chapter 127: Encountering a Hometown in a Foreign Country
Liu Banxian inexplicably made a retreat, which made Qin Xuan a little uneasy. Vaguely seen, Qin Xuan felt that Liu Banxian and his copycat version of the Hidden View would not be simple, and it was even the blue branch of the old department.
After looking at it for a moment, Qin Xuan said, "Where is Qingyuan Gate?" β
Li Qingrui was worried about Qingyuan Daoist and Qingyuanmen at the moment, and when he heard Qin Xuan's inquiry, he immediately blurted out: "Childe, Qingyuanmen is in Mangdang Mountain!" β
"Oh? Be specific! β
"Go east through Qingya Peak, about five miles and then turn to the north, through a mountain road, about ten miles away!"
"What are the road conditions like, and will the carriage be able to get there?"
"This ...... I'm afraid not! Those are mountain roads! β
Li Qingrui's answer made Qin Xuan a little embarrassed, if he left his wife and concubine and two daughters in Qingya Peak, to be honest, he was really a little worried. But if he didn't go to Qingyuanmen to take a look, he felt sorry for Qingyuanmen, Qingyuan Daochang and Li Qingrui. After thinking about it repeatedly, Qin Xuan finally made up his mind and said, "In this way, let Honglin take the guards to watch the carriage, and I will go to Qingyuan Gate with you to see the situation!" β
When Li Qingrui heard this, he didn't know if he was moved or because of what, in short, he was a little choked up, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing this, Qin Xuan smiled slightly, then turned his head and shouted, "Honglin, come here!" β
Xing Honglin, who was riding a high-headed horse, originally stayed in the guards, saying that he was in the town or the commander. Hearing Qin Xuan's words, he directly reached out and knocked the buttocks of the horse under his crotch a few times. After a while, he walked to Qin Xuan's side, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the horse, and it landed like a flying swallow. "Childe, what's the matter?"
"Honglin, you take the guards to Mangxian first, Qingrui and I have some important things to do!" Qin Xuan said the words that he had thought of.
When Xing Honglin heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Directly opened his mouth to persuade: "Childe, no, you and Qingrui go together, if there is anything wrong, how can it be!" β
Qin Xuan knew that Xing Honglin would definitely persuade himself, so he waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, don't say it anymore, follow the order!" Just wait for me in Mangxian! β
Xing Honglin was about to say more, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Qin Xuan's face, helpless. Nodding.
Since Qingyuan Gate is five miles east of Qingya Peak, it will turn north, so Qin Xuan and Li Qingrui have not separated from the large army, the only difference is that they brought Qiao Zhijie with them. Go to Mangdang Mountain Qingya Peak to the east for five miles. I saw a rugged mountain road. Qin Xuan instructed a few beautiful wives and concubines, and then he and Li Qingrui left the army directly and headed north.
Although it was not very far, Qin Xuan and the others walked on foot. This was proposed by Li Qingrui, after all, there were no horses, if the two found out something. You can also find a hidden place to hide.
Around dusk, Qin Xuan, who was already exhausted, finally saw a somewhat dilapidated Taoist temple, and there was a plaque hanging in the middle of the Taoist temple gatehouse, Qin Xuan couldn't read the words on the plaque clearly at the moment. However, based on the smile on the corner of Li Qingrui's mouth, Qin Xuan concluded that the Taoist temple in front of him was Qingyuan Gate.
Further on, a stone staircase appears. It is all made of bluestone, which looks somewhat elegant. Walking to the gatehouse, Qin Xuan raised his head and took a closer look at the plaque. There's nothing wrong with that. The three big characters of "Qingyuanmen" were written vigorously and powerfully, which made Qin Xuan secretly praise a few times in his heart.
Suddenly, from behind the gatehouse, two figures flashed, and Qin Xuan's consciousness was still on the plaque of the gatehouse, and he didn't pay attention at all. Li Qingrui saw two figures, hurriedly parried the wooden sticks knocked by the two, and shouted: "Senior brother, it's me, I'm true!" β
The two figures, hearing the sound, took a look, and said excitedly: "It's really you, junior brother!" You don't know, Shizun has been missing you very much lately! β
Qin Xuan was shocked just now, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and followed Li Qingrui and the others towards the Taoist temple. In the Taoist temple, it is quite clean, although it is not as atmospheric as the Bashu Complex Hidden Temple, but it is also very elegantly built, which makes people feel pleasant.
The two Taoist priests directly led Li Qingrui and Qin Xuan to the back hall. As soon as he arrived at the door, one of them said to the wooden door: "Master, it's like you're back!" β
In a moment, there was a soft, feeble voice from inside the door. "Is it true? Let him in! β
Li Qingrui didn't have so many scruples at the moment, and directly stepped forward and pushed the door in. Seeing this, Qin Xuan did not hesitate and followed. The two Taoist priests looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Walking into the inner hall, Li Qingrui saw Mingyuan Zhenren lying on the bed on the side, so he rushed forward directly, knelt beside the bed, and sobbed: "Master, the apprentice is not filial and fails to take care of it, otherwise the master would not be like this!" β
Qingyuan Daoist nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke Li Qingrui's head, and said casually: "Silly boy, the limit for the teacher is approaching, what do you have to do with it!" β
"Master, if you are said to be stupid like this, you will definitely get better!"
The master and apprentice talked for a long time, and the Qingyuan Daoist saw Qin Xuan in the distance, his gaze was directly frozen, and then he spoke: "Qin Xuan!" β
Hearing this, Qin Xuan hurriedly walked forward, and bowed his hand: "Junior Qin Xuan has seen Qingyuan Dao Chief!" β
Qingyuan Daoist waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite!" After speaking, he looked down at Li Qingrui, and said, "Qingrui, when you go out, why do you want to talk to Qin Gongzi Haosheng!" β
Li Qingrui couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but he didn't disobey the words of the Qingyuan Daoist, and immediately sobbed: "The disciple obeys!" After speaking, he got up and walked outside the door first, naturally he couldn't help but glance at Qin Xuan a few times on the way.
Hearing the sound of the wooden door closing, Qingyuan Dao Chang beckoned Qin Xuan and said, "Qin Xuan, come and sit on the edge of the bed!" β
Qin Xuan nodded, and walked directly to the edge of the bed. After sitting down, he said: "Qingyuan Dao Chang and Zaicai have been separated for more than two years, I don't know why they have become like this?" β
Daoist Qingyuan chuckled a few times and said, "Qin Xuan, you don't want to be long and short with me, you and I are both people of the next generation, don't be so literary!" β
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's eyes widened directly, staring directly at Qingyuan Dao Chang, and he hesitated for a long time: "Qingyuan Dao Chang, what you say ...... you"
Qingyuan Dao Chang chuckled and said, "Let's tell you the truth, there was an earthquake in Tangshan in 76 years, do you know? β
Qin Xuan was stunned: "You-you-"
"Yes, when the earthquake occurred in Tangshan in 76 years, it was at that time that I came to the Sui and Tang Dynasties for some reason, and I wanted to use the knowledge I learned to tamper with history. Afraid of affecting the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, after a few years of hesitation, Li Yuan and his son established the Tang Dynasty! β
Qin Xuan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Are you really from the afterlife?" β
Daoist Qingyuan nodded and said with a smile: "This is still false, otherwise how could I have said the Tangshan earthquake in seven or six years!" When I first met you in the cave that day, I could tell that you had crossed through the afterlife, do you know why? β
Qin Xuan shook his head and said, "I really don't know this, I think I was pretending to be an ancient person at the time!" β
Qingyuan Daoist laughed. He said, "Honestly, it's like! If I hadn't seen your teeth yellow and you were brushing your teeth, I wouldn't have seen you as a traverser! β
Qin Xuan was amused by Qingyuan Daoist's words, and suddenly met someone who had also crossed over, and Qin Xuan suddenly felt a little kind in his heart. "Daoist Qingyuan, your eyes are really poisonous, can you tell me your story?"
Qingyuan Daoist smiled and said, "Okay, I can meet our comrades in New China." I'm glad in my heart, so I'll tell you about it! After a slight pause, Qingyuan Daoist continued: "My original name was Ma Min, during the Tangshan earthquake. I was in my twenties. That night, I suddenly felt an earthquake and a mountain shake, and before I could come back to my senses, I came directly to the Sui Dynasty! β
"Back then. Li Yuan's father and son are really going around, the Tang Dynasty has not been built, and the Sui Dynasty has not died. When I woke up. I'm in Li Jiancheng's army, and I can be regarded as a firehead army! Although I was not familiar with Tang history at all, I knew that Li Shimin would later become the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and in order to survive, I wanted to leave Li Jiancheng and go to Li Shimin. However, I found something that surprised me! β
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was very interested, and immediately asked, "Brother Ma, don't sell it to me, hurry up and talk about it!" β
Qingyuan Dao Chief, that is, Ma Min, said with a smile: "You kid is still an acute child!" β
"This is different, I crossed later than you, but I crossed in 2012, when there were college students everywhere, even teenagers knew history and knew that Li Shimin was a good emperor!"
"What? There are college students everywhere, tell me about the development of our new China! As soon as Ma Min heard Qin Xuan's words, he hurriedly said.
"Don't, tell me about your surprise first, or I'll be in a panic!" Qin Xuan waved his hand directly.
"Okay, okay, I'll say it first, I'll finish speaking, you must tell me about our new China!"
"No problem, Brother Ma, tell me about it!"
"Okay, I'll say it! To my great surprise, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are two brothers! At that time, although Li Shimin had great achievements, he had no ambition to be the emperor, and he was obedient to Li Jiancheng. At that time, I hesitated, because I was surprised by what Li Jiancheng had shown. Li Jiancheng is not only able to lead troops to fight like Li Shimin, but also has a good performance in handling political affairs! β
"What?" Qin Xuan couldn't help but lose his voice. "You tell me in detail what Li Jiancheng has done, why don't I know?"
In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Li Jiancheng was ordered by Li Yuan to stay in Hedong and work alone. He was a corporal and made friends with a large number of capable people with lofty ideals as a talent reserve for running the world. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan rebelled, Li Jiancheng first attacked the West River, then took Guanzhong, guarded Tongguan, blocked Qu Tutong's army, and then fought with Li Yuan to conquer Chang'an. It can be said that he has made great achievements, and in the Tang Army, Li Jiancheng's reputation is close to Li Yuan. β
"Originally, these achievements have given me the idea of being loyal to Li Jiancheng. Then by chance, Li Jiancheng and I had a chance to meet face-to-face, and I also wanted to make a name for myself at that time, so I told Li Jiancheng about the great leader's guerrilla warfare methods. Unexpectedly, after Li Jiancheng listened to it, he directly asked me to be his personal guard. This is too much of an opportunity, if Li Jiancheng can succeed to the throne, how can I also be a minister from the dragon! β
Subsequently, Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor, and Li Jiancheng became the crown prince. was originally a happy thing, but it changed because of Li Shimin's sudden rise. Li Yuan, Li Shimin and others went to war everywhere, and Li Jiancheng was ordered to supervise the country and deal with political affairs. the bureaucratic system of government, the reform of the tax law, and the promulgation of laws and decrees during the Wude period; actively develop agriculture, restore production, implement the system of equalizing land, and reform the adjustment of rents; The political framework established by a series of political activities such as Confucianism, the promotion of imperial examinations, and the promotion of education in the early Tang Dynasty all have the shadow of Li Jiancheng, and naturally there are some of my ideas! β
"Li Jiancheng regarded me as a confidant at that time, and even prepared to let me enter the court as an official. At that time, I kept an eye on it, so I excused myself on the pretext that I wanted to give advice to Li Jiancheng. After all, I don't know who will succeed Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. β
"Li Jiancheng's opinion on me. Almost all of them listened. There was only one thing I didn't listen to, and that was the matter of Xuanwumen. Maybe I was too careful and told him a little too early. In short, Li Jiancheng only guarded against Li Shimin for a few years before he began to relax. This is when the Xuanwumen change occurred! β
Speaking of this, Ma Min couldn't help but smile bitterly, while Qin Xuan was a little surprised, because what Ma Min did just made the Tang Dynasty the original history, which also confirmed that he had traveled through time. It is simply impossible to change history.
Ma Min smiled bitterly a few times, and then said: "Maybe you didn't understand, but I was deeply touched that it was because of me that some bizarre things happened, and it indirectly made Li Shimin the emperor!" β
Qin Xuan nodded and said, "So when Brother Ma first saw me, he said to me, don't try to change history?" β
"Yes, just let it be. Blindly going against the sky is often counterproductive, haven't you noticed? β
Hearing this, Qin Xuan slowly closed his eyes. Pondering: "Am I doing what I am doing to lead history to the way it was?" Wu Zetian's matter is like that, but what about the construction of the old department? It's already happening......"
Seeing Qin Xuan deep in thought, Ma Min smiled and said, "Brother Qin Xuan, are you recalling those things where you are?" β
Qin Xuan opened his eyes. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, I'll reminisce and see if it's because of me that I became the original history!" β
"Don't think about it. No matter what you do, there will be something you didn't expect, bypassing history and following the original trajectory! Ma Min waved his hand and said softly.
"This ...... Not necessarily, I did something right now, which is not recorded in history, and I feel that such a big thing will definitely be recorded! β
When Ma Min heard this, he couldn't help but laugh again, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Don't think about it, maybe what will happen next, if you don't believe it, wait and see!" β
Qin Xuan was still a little unconvinced, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to go with the flow, as for what history loves. couldn't stand Ma Min's request, Qin Xuan told Ma Min about the events from 76 to 2012, and Ma Min was even more overjoyed when he heard that New China was thriving.
The two can be said to have met old acquaintances in a foreign country, and they chatted for a long time, and they were happy. In the end, Ma Min asked, "By the way, Brother Qin, why did you suddenly come to Qingyuanmen?" β
As soon as Ma Min said this, Qin Xuan immediately remembered the matter, and said hurriedly: "It's not because of the rebellion of the old department, don't you know, after the coup d'Γ©tat in Xuanwumen, the prince's mansion actually escaped a few dead soldiers, secretly cultivating strength in Bashu, and preparing to rebel." Now that the country is safe and secure, I am deeply favored by Li Shimin, so I will be ordered to investigate in detail. Recently, the one who has been against Qingyuanmen, that is, the Hidden Temple built by Liu Banxian, the traitor of Qingyuanmen, is one of them! β
"What? And what's going on? Ma Min stared at Qin Xuan sideways and lost his voice.
"Is this still fake? Otherwise, you can tell me why there is a hidden view in Mangdang Mountain, you must know that the old nest of the old department built in Bashu is called the hidden view, and Liu Banxian has sprung up, how long has it been, and he has gathered such a force! β
"This ...... Is this really the old ministry of the prince? β
"Don't be so kind, Li Jiancheng has been dead for more than ten years, and the current prince is Li Chengqian!" Qin Xuan and Ma Min were also familiar with each other, and joked directly.
Ma Min smiled slightly and said slightly apologetically: "Get used to it, get used to it!" Then he didn't know what to think, and said: "What you said should be right, what I said, how could that kid Zhenjing suddenly rise, and in his hidden view, all of them are big men, and there are even official weapons." β
"What? Liu Banxian still has official weapons? β
Ma Min said casually: "Yes, there are almost everyone in the view!" β
Qin Xuan couldn't help frowning, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Ma, tell me how you know that he has an official weapon in his Hidden Vision, and you can tell me how many thugs he has in the Hidden Vision!" β
"In order to clean up the portal, I went there once, and at that time, the two masters and apprentices of Zhenjing, with the Taoist priest in the view, beat me and the people from Qingyuanmen. At that time, I still wondered how the Taoist priests of the Hidden Temple had horizontal knives. After you say this, I kind of get it! Feelings: This group of bastards is still doing nonsense under the reputation of the prince! β
Qin Xuan waved his hand and blurted out: "Don't call it the prince, just call it Li Jiancheng, by the way, you haven't told me yet, how many people are there?" β
"How many? Who knows, I didn't even enter the gate before I was beaten out! Ma Min couldn't help but laugh bitterly a few times and said casually.
"By the way, before I went up the mountain just now, I heard that Liu Banxian threatened to set foot in the Qingyuan Gate, your place is not safe, do you want to leave with me?"
"No need, didn't you come to clean him up, just hand over all the two masters and apprentices of Zhenjing to me, and the rest of the Taoist priests will be recaptured, and those who should be put will be released, and when the time comes, just leave the place of the Hidden View to me!"
"Brother Ma, you are a lion with a big mouth, how can I have so much power!"
"What's the matter, how can we say that we are fellow villagers, and the whole earth is just us, are you not ready to help my brother?" (To be continued......)
