Guess? When Ji Ruxue heard Jiang Erlang's words, the scene when she met Jiang Erlang in Huai'an County inexplicably flashed in her mind, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a smile.

Huai'an County's Experience...... Make her feel comfortable.

At least, that's what she thinks.

However, only she and Yan Yu knew about the picture scroll, and Ji Ruxue's intelligence made her faintly feel that there was something wrong with this matter.

So, she still asked the doubt in her heart: "Oh? How did you guess it, Erlang might as well talk about it? ”

"It's actually simple." Jiang Erlang leaned his body back: "When I was in Hanzhong County, I found out that the Southern Regions had already learned about the arrival of the Luminous Guardian Heart a month ago.

And now, I have learned the fact that Yan Yu and the Southern Regions colluded, so it is already clear who told the Southern Regions about the arrival of Ying's Confusion and Guarding the Heart. ”

Ji Ruxue nodded, and did not deny it: "You guessed right, the time when Yingfu Shouxin came was indeed very likely to be told by Senior Brother to the Southern Regions." ”

"Well, there's a problem here." Jiang Erlang continued: "How could Yan Yu guess that the Ying Confusion Guarding Heart was coming? With his strength, it should be impossible to know, after all, even the master and Meng Xingchen can't calculate accurately, so I have a guess. ”

"Oh? What guess? ”

"In the three-hundred-year history of Great Qin, I guess the only person who can accurately predict the people who are confused and guarded is the one who wins half of the year!"

"I see." Ji Ruxue nodded: "So, you guessed that Ying Banzi must have been to the Ghost Valley, and there was a certain 'deal' with the ancestor, but why did you guess that it was a picture scroll?" ”

This is indeed a difficult problem to explain......

However, Jiang Erlang had already prepared the answer: "It was my brother Jiang Chaoge who told me that he had gone to the Southern Regions Palace not long ago to see the witch god. ”

"Jiang Chaoge went to see the witch god?" Ji Ruxue was obviously a little surprised.

"Well, he not only saw the witch god, but also brought out the princess of the Southern Regions, Lina, who told me that Ying Banzi had left a picture scroll in this world, and this picture scroll has never been seen before, even the witch god doesn't know where it is, and if it can be kept secret to this extent, there is only Guigu, right?"

"Erlang is still smart...... Ji Ruxue sighed and didn't ask any more: "Ying Banzi did leave a picture scroll in the Ghost Valley, and Master also gave me this picture scroll." ”

"The picture scroll is really in Miss Ji's hands?!" Jiang Erlang was a little excited.

"Yes, Master gave the Heavenly Star Lantern to Senior Brother, and then gave me the scroll, which means to check and balance each other, but this scroll disappeared when I left the valley."

"What? Missing? ”

"Yes."

“……”

Jiang Erlang was silent.

He naturally didn't think that Ji Ruxue would lie to him.

However, who can steal the scroll from Ji Ruxue's hands?

I'm thinking about it......

Ji Ruxue spoke again: "Now that you know that the scroll is not in my hand, then, do you still want me to send a message to Di Gong?" ”

"Hehe, why not?" Jiang Erlang smiled.

"But I don't have anything to trade with you." Ji Ruxue is very honest. …

"It's just an excuse to make a deal." Jiang Erlang was also very frank: "Anyway, what I'm thinking, Miss Ji should know." ”

"Want to marry me?" The corners of Ji Ruxue's mouth raised.

"Yes, Miss Ji proposed to me, and I really can't refuse." Jiang Erlang spread his hands.

"......" Ji Ruxue.

"So, when are we going to have our wedding?" Jiang Erlang thought about it and said, "Otherwise, it will be set on the eighth day of the next month, I think the day is good?" ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Ji Ruxue glared at Jiang Erlang fiercely: "If you want to marry me, unless you can become the first person in the world, otherwise, it is impossible." ”

"Miss Ji doesn't want me to be the emperor, right?"

"Why, can't it be done?"

"I, Jiang Erlang, am loyal to Great Qin, how can I commit treason because of my children's personal feelings? Miss Ji underestimated me, and besides, what's so good about being an emperor, I have to go to the morning court every day, and there are three palaces and six courtyards, I am too tired every day, so I might as well live in seclusion in this ghost valley and be at ease. ”

"You...... Really? Ji Ruxue was suddenly a little surprised.

"Of course." Jiang Erlang affirmed.

"Okay, if one day, you can become the first person in the world, and then you can put down your power and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, I will consider marrying you."

"Why do you still want to be the first person in the world?" Jiang Erlang was a little puzzled.

"Because, this is the oath I made in front of my father's mausoleum, once I marry someone else, the bloodline of the Great Zhou will no longer exist, so this person can only be the first person in the world, and it is definitely not the Emperor of Great Qin!"

"Can't marry Emperor Daqin? Is it because Great Qin destroyed the Zhou Dynasty? ”

"Hmm."

"I see."

Jiang Erlang finally understood.

No wonder no one proposed to Ji Ruxue, just on this condition...... Who dares to propose marriage openly? That means that he has the ambition to come to the Qin State.

After Jiang Erlang thought about it, he gave a new suggestion: "Or, I'll get into a mess?" ”

"It's okay, but that's until I'm completely hopeless, or, halfway there." Ji Ruxue smiled slightly: "After all, my condition is that the first person in the world is preferred, and I really can't talk about it anymore and continue the Great Zhou incense." ”

"......" Jiang Erlang.

……

Negotiations eventually broke down.

Ji Ruxue's conditions, no one can do it.

This is even more outrageous than the sky-high bride price.

Jiang Erlang brought the topic back to the siege of the shallow rocky beach: "Miss Ji should immediately send a message to Di Gong Feige, after all, the 100,000 sergeants in the shallow rocky beach can't last long." ”

"Are you so sure that the Buddha will agree?"

"Pretty sure."

"Okay, then I'll ...... Try it! After thinking about it, Ji Ruxue finally agreed: "If it can really solve the danger of Daqin, I still hope that Erlang can return to the Night Investigation Division, after all, with Erlang's intelligence...... If you really live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, it will be a pity. ”

"I just think that if I can get a red dust in my life, I can live happily, as for court disputes, wealth and power...... Isn't it enough to have the wealth left by Da Zhou? ”

"Erlang...... It was more and more flamboyant. Ji Ruxue glanced at Jiang Erlang and didn't say anything more, but her face was obviously red. …

Jiang Erlang was a little frightened......

Beauty or Ji Ruxue is the most beautiful!

Moreover, the figure is also the best, plus there is a Great Zhou Mansion as a family property, who can withstand such a hidden rich woman?

So, he said again, "Can I sleep in the valley at night?" ”

"Erlang can sleep wherever he wants." Ji Ruxue replied without thinking about it, but there was nothing unusual because of this question.

After all, when Jiang Erlang was in the capital, he also lived in the Great Zhou Palace.

"Really? Then I want to sleep...... In bed? ”

"Yes, I'll let Shirako sleep with you."

"......" Jiang Erlang.

Shirako: ???

……

Capital.

A carrier pigeon flew into the Night Detection Division.

Di Gong sat on the bookcase, watching the content transmitted by the carrier pigeon and fell into thought.

But soon, he was on his feet.

"Someone, send this letter to the Xiangguo-sama's mansion."

"Yes!"

A night watchman responded and sent the letter brought by the carrier pigeon to the Xiangguo Mansion.

And Di Gong went directly out of the Night Investigation Division, got into the carriage, and went straight to Ganquan Palace.

……

Half an hour later.

In the Ganquan Palace.

Xiangguo Han Shen has already rushed over.

In the Ganquan Palace, the Queen Mother, who looked a little weak, was sitting on a chair, and in the main hall, there was also a black-robed dog Di Gong.

Han Shen was not surprised, because he rushed over after reading Di Gong's message.

"Minister Han Shen, I have seen the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect Di Gong to come over one step ahead of me."

"Han Xiangguo, Di Gong, please take a seat." The Queen Mother nodded, and then said to the two palace maids behind her, "Give the two adults a seat." ”

"Yes!"

The two palace maids moved two chairs.

Then, the Queen Mother waved her hand again: "You go down first." ”

"Yes!"

The ladies of the palace all retreated.

The Queen Mother sat up a little straighter at this time: "Two Aiqing, let's talk about it." ”

Han Shen nodded, but his eyes looked at Di Gong: "Why don't you ask Di Gong to talk about your views first?" ”

"Okay, it's urgent." Di Gong did not postpone it, and said directly: "In the opinion of the ministers, Jiang Erlang's strategy should be the only way to solve the crisis in Daqin now, if the Buddhism Sect is really willing to take action to contain the demon clan, the siege of the shallow rocky beach can be solved, and the alliance between the Southern Regions and the demon clan will be broken." ”

When Han Shen heard this, he also agreed: "What Di Gong said is exactly what the minister wants to say, but how to make the Buddha Sect make a move, this condition still needs to be discussed again." ”

"What Buddhism wishes is nothing more than the development of Buddhist believers in my Great Qin, and we have already agreed on this matter that it is not a bad thing to let Buddhism and Taoism contain each other in order to achieve balance, but in the current situation...... I am afraid that the conditions that Buddhism wants are more than just balance. ”

Di Gong spoke his mind.

After listening to the words of the two of them, the Queen Mother also had a thoughtful look on her face, and then said: "What the two Aiqing said is extremely true, what this palace means is that if you can achieve the balance between the two Buddhas and the two gates, and you can solve the danger of my Great Qin, it is naturally the best, but if it doesn't work...... I can only promise the conditions of Buddhism first. ”

"The minister has a strategy, or the conditions that can make the Buddha mention not too much." Han Shen said at this time. …

"Oh? What is Xiangguo's strategy? ”

"Not long ago, the minister received a military report from Jiang Yu'er, in the battle of the shallow rocky beach, His Majesty and Jiang Yu'er had successfully won the first battle, and killed nearly a thousand enemies. If we had published this military report on Buddhism, I think Buddhism might have considered it. Han Shen explained.

"That's a good idea." The Queen Mother nodded: "As long as the emperor wins one after another at the shallow rocky beach, it is impossible for the Buddha Gate to continue to wait." ”

Di Gong added at this time: "Then tell the matter of Xijing City again, let the Buddhism Sect know that Xijing has been returned to the control of Great Qin, and we can not mention the matter of letting the Buddhism Gate join." ”

"Di Gong's intention is to let Buddhism take the initiative?" Han Shen understood.

"That's what it means."

"Okay, the minister also agrees with Di Gong's policy."

"Since the two Aiqing have the same opinion, let's do what the two Aiqing want." The Queen Mother nodded, and then sighed again: "This palace really didn't expect that Yan Yu would collude with the demon clan...... This matter is the fault of this palace, and it is this palace who has taken a look away......"

Di Gong and Han Shen glanced at each other, and they couldn't see what the Queen Mother meant.

So, the two comforted ...... The Queen Mother was relieved.

……

Early in the morning of the second day.

The Queen Mother came to the school palace again and listened to the dialectics of a hundred schools.

In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager summoned the Buddha Gate to inquire about the 'Dharma', and through the mouths of Han Shen and Di Gong, she revealed the news of the victory in the shallow rocky beach, as well as the happy event that the Xijing garrison returned to Daqin.

When Fuxian heard this, his brows tightened, but he didn't say much!

……

At dusk.

Fuxian summoned Baozhi and Kongxiang to discuss.

The empty phase gave a proposal, this may be the best time for Buddhism to participate in the war, the only question is what kind of conditions, which can not only satisfy Buddhism, but also make Great Qin unable to refuse.

Bao Zhiyan: Let Daqin change Buddhism as the state religion, and then set up a national temple in the capital, and other counties have Buddhist temples to spread Buddhism.

Void negation: If coercion under this condition, it may backfire, in case the Western Regions and the demon clan retreat, what if Great Qin repents?

After thinking about it, Baozhi felt that the empty phase was reasonable!

So, after some discussion.

Fuxian decided to "move all living beings with Buddhism" and put forward conditions: let Daqin establish a national temple on the outskirts of the capital, but did not require Buddhism to be established as the state religion, only in fact, not in name.

As for other counties, the establishment of Buddhist temples can be carried out naturally.

All the monks praised: Wonderful!

……

Then in the evening, Fuxian visited Xiangguo Han Shen.

Negotiate privately and reach an agreement.

Then, Fuxian sent a message back to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions.

On the second day, under the witness of the hundred schools and the queen mother, Buddhism signed the letter of state with Xiangguo Han Shen in public.

At this point, the countries of the Western Regions have come out of the demon clan!

At this time, Di Gong also received a secret letter from Su Qing from Xijing City, saying: Jiang Erlang has found out the truth about the Xijing rebellion, and he has gone to Guigu again, and it has been two days.

After reading the secret letter, Di Gong knew in his heart: "No wonder Ji Ruxue is in the Ghost Valley, but he will send a message back to the Night Investigation Division, it turns out that ...... And so it was! ”

……

Two more days passed.

Jiang Erlang led Ji Ruxue out of the Ghost Valley and returned to Xijing City.

Li Qingbai personally led the Divine Arrow Battalion to greet him.

After Jiang Erlang explained the situation in the capital to Li Qingbai, he also said the time when the Buddha Gate attacked the demon clan, and Li Qingbai was shocked.

At the same time, Xijing City received a military report.

Buddhism has summoned the countries of the Western Regions and sent a total of 70,000 troops to attack the demon army from the rear.

Li Qingbai immediately went up to the city tower and sent six reconnaissance teams in a row, and after confirming that the news was true, he was overjoyed.

So, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately ordered that the elite of Xijing City should be exhausted, and together with the 70,000 troops of the Western Regions, they would flank the demon army before and after.

Two days later, the demon clan was defeated.

The siege of Xijing was lifted.

However, Li Qingbai did not let the Xijing army rest, but turned around overnight and went straight to the shallow rocky beach.

The elite of the Xijing army has no complaints!
