Chapter 138 The Old Man

Chapter 138 The Old Man

The Tang people often referred to Goryeo as the land of projectiles, but in reality Baekje was less than one-third of Goryeo's territory. And then it's such a small country, but the ambition is not small at all. How many wars launched by Goryeo, whether it was against Silla or against the Tang Dynasty, there was the shadow of Baekje behind it. It's just that this country is too small for people to ignore, resulting in the Tang Dynasty still not having a correct understanding of Baekje.

Yongnyeong compared the method of dealing with Goryeo, from intelligence to maps, and recorded the situation of Baekje in detail, and even the information was somewhat tendentious between the lines, and Baekje's ambitions were indicated in many places.

The city was the earliest capital of Baekje, but its geographical location was too close to Goryeo, so Baekje moved its capital several times, and today's city has long since lost its former glory. Yongning walked through the streets of the Comfort City, and his heart was full of emotion. The former capital of Baekje is in ruins, and the small adobe house, short and cold, will subconsciously bow its head if you want to enter the house with the standard height of 165 cm in Yongning.

Aside the Tang Dynasty, let alone the national capital, even cities above the county level, it is impossible for such a building to exist. Yongning sat in the largest restaurant on the busiest street in the city, and ordered four dishes and one soup, all of which were local specialties, but they were obviously not to her taste, and everything was just tasted and put there as a look. She didn't let the shop serve tea, just a pot of boiled water, of course she didn't drink this water, the water in the city of consolation had a strange salty taste, she emptied the kettle with great speed, and then filled a pot of hot water with no smell with magic, and then took a sip of it.

The people of Baekje are not wealthy, and most of the people who eat at restaurants are foreigners. The small Baekje is now also crowded with people from all over the world, and there are not a few people who want to make war money, so Yongning has really heard a lot of news here. After following a few Koreans to get some useful information with soul fears, Yongning has completely lost interest in the place of Comfort City.

Baekje and Goryeo are incomparable, Goryeo built a city, the walls are high and strong, while Baekje is mostly earthen fortresses, basically it is difficult to pose any effective threat to the Tang army. Yongning has come all the way, and has compared five or six cities, which are basically a construction mode, and she thinks that the next stop can be directly to the current capital of Baekje, Sihyeonseong, to see, if Sihyeonseong is also in this situation, then there is basically no need to explore other cities in Baekje.

Si Yu City is close to the sea, and it is not too far from the Comfort City, and Yongning is not in a hurry, and he is not tired of walking all the way. When she arrived at Sixian City, she was completely relieved, this city was better built than anything she had seen along the way. But no matter how good it is, it is also a soil and stone structure, which is completely incomparable with the solidity of the orthodox city wall of the Tang Dynasty.

Yongning breathed a sigh of relief, she was really fed up with the barrenness of Baekje, if it weren't for the good habit she had developed over the years to store food and items in the storage bracelet, I am afraid that she would even have to phantom to the realm of Datang to solve it three meals a day. In the past, she always thought that she was a good hair person, but when she came to Baekje, she realized that she was actually too pampered.

Although Yongning had already made a determination about Siyu City, since she had already arrived and it was not yet noon, she still decided to go into the city to have a look. After only two streets, Yongning once again sighed that the existence of Sihyeon Fortress is to prove the historical fact that "the times are progressing and the living standards of the people of Baekje are improving".

Although the buildings in the new capital city of Baekje are also made of earth, the houses are significantly more spacious than those in other places, and the passers-by have some smiles on their faces, rather than the hollow-eyed and numb eyes of the people in other cities. The area of Si Hyun City is larger than that of other cities, but it is not too big, the palace is located on the central axis, and the buildings alone look more like a city than the outer city - the palace walls are all three feet long, one foot high bluestone, in the middle of an adobe house looks particularly powerful.

Yongning had no intention of coming into contact with the powerful figures in Baekje, so he just wandered around Sihyun Fortress and thought about returning to Youju to have a fresh, oily meal. She didn't know that she was not shy about coming and going in a Taoist robe, and she had already startled a person in the carriage not far away.

"Yongning—"

Yongning was stunned, she didn't expect to meet the old people in Baekje. She didn't even have to look back, she could recognize from the tingling sensation in her spine that the person who stopped her behind her was actually a debater

The debate machine was still wearing a half-new white monk's robe, and the whole person was bathed in sunlight, as if it was glowing softly. Yongning's eyes flickered, how long has it been since he saw him? It seems that after she left before entering the Tao, she and he never saw him again.

The debate machine slowly walked to Yongning step by step, with a humble smile on his face: "Long time no see, has it always been good?" ”

"Thank you Senior Brother for your concern, Xiaodao is well......" Yongning said with a smile as he bowed.

"You ......" The debater looked at Yongning's robe, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Xiaodao entered the Tao five years ago, and the road number is Ning Zhen......" Yongning completely regarded the debate machine as a friend of the old days, explaining the past.

The debater nodded, looked at the Baekje Palace behind Yongning, and then lowered his head to look at Yongning, and asked, "Senior sister came to Baekje, who is going to accompany you?" So what's going on? Is there anything you need help from the poor monks? ”

Yongning raised his eyebrows, looking at the debate machine with deep meaning, but did not answer his words. She was also very interested in the reason why the debater was here, and she didn't think that the debater was hanging out here, especially since the meaning of his words was as if he had some status in Baekje......

Seeing that Yongning didn't speak, the debater hurriedly explained: "The poor monk was appointed by the master as the abbot of the Jialan Temple in Sixian City three years ago, and he was valued by the lord of the country and got the title of a national teacher......

Yongning blinked, although she had known that Baekje admired Buddhism for a long time along the way, she never imagined that the holy monk and national teacher, who enjoyed high prestige among the people of Baekje, would actually be a debater. She looked directly into the eyes of the debater, and found with some disbelief that there was still a nostalgia for her in his eyes, she always thought that the master of the debate machine would suddenly take him away, and must have found a solution to his problems, but she really didn't expect that she had unintentionally counterattacked back then, so that the sequelae had not been eliminated after so many years.

Yongning thought about the identity of the debater, sighed, and said: "His Majesty the Tang Emperor has already decided on the Eastern Crusade, Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje may soon be in the flames of war, Xiaodao just wants to come over before the war to see, and come back in the future, I am afraid that the Three Kingdoms will no longer be what they are now......" She had no intention of dragging the debate machine in, although as the national teacher of Baekje, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to stay out of the matter in the end, but from the bottom of her heart, she always did not want to be too deeply involved with the debate.

The debater's eyes darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Really, just looking?" ……”

Yongning was stunned for a moment, from the tone of the debate, she could hear that he seemed to know something, the smile on her face involuntarily stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and raised her eyebrows and said, "If not, what else can it be?" ”

The invisible sense of alienation emanating from Yongning's body made it almost impossible for the debate machine to maintain his usual peaceful state of mind, and the beast that had been sleeping in his heart seemed to have awakened, tearing his heart and chest painfully. "I don't know where my sister is staying?" He tried to calm his voice down, but a subtle trilling involuntarily appeared.

Yongning only felt a danger from the voice of the debater, she shook her head calmly, and said: "Xiaodao has finished reading what she wants to see, and is about to leave Siyu City......

The eyes of the debater suddenly became sharp, and the smile on his face became a little strange because of this look. "Senior sister has only been in the city for less than an hour, so she finished reading it so quickly? Along the way, every city junior sister said that they would stay for a day or two, so why did they treat the capital of Baekje so poorly? Since the poor monk came to Baekje, he rarely met the deceased, so it was better for the younger sister to stay for a few more days and catch up with the poor monk, okay? He said these words very slowly, but he controlled the tone of his voice perfectly, and successfully made Yongning hairy.

Yongning didn't know if it was because of the voice of the debate, or because of the meaning of his words, anyway, he felt a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart. Only then did she notice that the street, which had been crowded with pedestrians, had been empty for some time. Her hands clenched into fists in her sleeves, trying to calm herself, but the smile on her face could not be maintained.

"Senior sister is scared?" The debate machine narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "How can the poor monk be willing to hurt you?" Since it won't hurt you, why should you be afraid? ”

The voice of the debate machine was the same as what Yongning had heard a few years ago, but at some point, she couldn't get that tingling and blushing feeling in her heart, and she only felt afraid. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "Why does Xiaodao feel scared, Senior Brother should understand it very well...... Xiaodao will not ask why the senior brother is in Baekje, why should the senior brother force Xiaodao to stay? ”

Just from the words of the debate machine, she could hear that the debate machine is definitely not a simple national teacher. Although I don't know when she was targeted by the debate machine, I will pay attention to her like this...... Yongning suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and she felt that it seemed necessary for her to meet Yuan Tiangang.

The debater's eyes were also flickering, and his heart kept thinking...... Chapter 138: The Old Man
