Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Five: Evacuation
Cheng Yanjin and Li Yuanfang saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops. Cheng Yanjin left a thousand forest troops to contain the demons, and the rest of the troops quickly withdrew south across their horses. After the troops retreated about twenty miles to the south, Cheng Yanjin found that the demons showed no signs of pursuit.
He then sent scouts to spy on the information. The scouts reported that the three thousand demons did not go north, but were stationed not far outside the palace.
"Brother Cheng, it seems that the demons are the reinforcements that the national teacher is looking for, and they are stationed outside the city, as if they are intentionally protecting them in case we besiege the palace again. Now the plan is to invite Master Di here and discuss it again. Li Yuanfang said.
"Well, well, he's the boss after all." Cheng Biting Jin nodded and agreed.
It didn't take long for Di Renjie to join the generals. "For the sake of today, the land of Datang can no longer stay." Di Renjie said.
"Why, my lord? Wouldn't it be better for us to contact the righteous people and go on another northern expedition? Li Yuanfang said.
"The power of the Tang Dynasty is still in the hands of the national division and one party, and soon there will be garrisons from all over the country to serve the army, if we don't withdraw the army at this time, in a few days, I am afraid it will be too late to leave." Di Renjie said.
"And where do we retreat?" Li Yuanfang asked.
"Before the uprising, I had already contacted the southern country on the southern border of the Tang Dynasty, he would accept us, and when the time was ripe, we would re-enter the Tang Dynasty and go straight to the Yellow Dragon." Di Renjie said.
"Lao Di, I won't go to the south with you, after all, I have lived in the Western Regions for so many years, and I have long been accustomed to the local customs there, I should return to the Western Regions, and when you need to be Lao Cheng, I will definitely arrive as soon as possible." Cheng bites the golden road.
Di Renjie clenched Cheng Jin's hands and said with emotion: "I won't force you to keep your brother, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and we will definitely be able to meet again one day." ”
"Lao Di, take care, little brother Yuanfang, you also take care." Cheng bites the golden road.
I saw Li Yuanfang turn sideways to face the horse beside him, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Cheng Yanjin stepped on the war horse, galloped westward, and disappeared from the dust, and the majestic figure gradually disappeared into the autumn sunset.
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang led the rest of the soldiers and began to march southward, arriving in the south soon after.
"Master, fortunately, the demon army came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Pei Baohu said.
"This is the world of my Li family, take back my Li family's things, and naturally God will help you. By the way, immediately order the garrisons from all over the country to come to King Qin. "Ming Shiyin Dao.
"Well, okay, when King Qin's army gathers, I will personally lead them to pursue the remnants of Di Renjie's army." Pei Baohu said.
"There's no need to chase it, Di Renjie is extremely smart, he has already fled at this moment, and he can't catch up. I summoned garrisons from all over the world just in case. "Ming Shiyin Dao.
"Master, at this moment, Chang'an is no longer invincible, and the life and death of the empress and Princess Changping are all in your hands, master." Yi Xing.
"Hehe, how to solve them, don't worry for the time being, three days later, announce to the whole country that Empress Wu Zetian will officially cede the throne to me." Ming Shi Yindao.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your ascension to the Imperial Pole." Yi Xing and Pei Baohu said in unison.
Three days later, Ming Shiyin announced to the world and was honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
"Your Majesty, the three thousand demon army has left Chang'an and returned to the north." Yi Xing said.
"Well, okay, send a transport team to load ten truckloads of the best fruits and vegetables of the season, and send them to the north." Ming Shi Yindao.
"Obey, just Your Majesty, the Bull Demon King said in the letter, he wants more iron and stone, and more refining masters." Yi Xingdao.
"Hmph, didn't you give him a lot last time, and more?! If he builds more weapons, it won't be long before my position becomes his. Reply to him, Datang doesn't have much iron and stone, we can give them some of the weapons we have refined, and in addition, select the most ordinary ten weapon forgers for him. Ming Shiyin said impatiently.
"Yes." Yi Xingdao.
"Hu'er, how are you preparing for your marriage with Miss Shangguan?" Ming Shi Yindao.
"Everything is ready, just wait for my father to get married." Pei Baohu said.
"Master, my old grandson has just come back from the mountain, and on the street of Chang'an, I have met something new..."
"As a teacher, didn't I tell you many times? Why do you still go down the mountain privately and provoke mundane things. Bodhidharma's face was full of displeasure.
"Master, there are many demons in the red dust, but there is no demon in the disciple's heart, and he has long been out of touch with the demon clan in the north, no matter where my grandson goes, there is only the master in his heart, only the Dharma is boundless, is the master still not at ease? My grandson went down the mountain this time, just to help the master inquire about who needs the Dharma to get rid of the lost, so that the master can save more merits, so that he can get Dafa as soon as possible and become a Buddha. Master, my grandson went down the mountain, and I heard that His Majesty has changed hands. Sun Wukong said.
"Oh? And such things. Bodhidharma was surprised.
This master also asked others not to provoke Hongchen, when it comes to the affairs of the layman, he gossips more than anyone else, and Sun Wukong is worried.
"Brother Monkey, let's listen to it, my old pig also wants to know, what's new recently, it's been sweeping the earth for more than ten days, and the ears are about to grow green hair." Zhu Bajie said.
"Well, you stupid green pig, Chang'an has a relationship with you with half a chicken feather, go, wash the clothes I took off last night... Rub it again, be careful to give you a trick to catch the moon in the river. Sun Wukong grinned and reprimanded.
"Don't you just listen to the gossip, why don't you wash it yourself, my old pig has eaten a lot of vegetarian food recently, and his skin is white." Zhu Bajie turned around and left, and whispered with his mouth in his mouth.
"What are you chirping over there?!" Monkey King said.
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he immediately quickened the pace of leaving, and he didn't forget to smile and say, "I said just now that I must wash Brother Monkey's clothes for you." ”
"Master, what I said is absolutely true, the former national teacher used the three thousand demon clans to drive out the loyal ministers and good generals in the court who were loyal to Her Majesty, and now he has ascended the throne and become His Majesty, you say that this matter is not new!"
When Bodhidharma heard this, he was speechless for a while.
"Don't talk about the master, at that time, you persuaded Your Majesty to reconcile with the demons, and now this new Majesty can do it, you said that to some extent, it is not considered to repay your wish." Sun Wukong laughed.
"Nonsense, the human race and the demon race will become more irreconcilable because of this matter, which is far from what the teacher wants." Bodhidharma reprimanded.
"Master, the monks must quit anger, so I didn't say anything, and my grandson went to eat peaches." Sun Wukong jumped off the stone bench, jumped up again, stepped on Zhu Bajie's shoulders and head, and jumped over the courtyard wall of the temple with his strength.
