The chicken feather letter was sent out!

Ay.

No, it's military intelligence.

Li Kui fell into a state of idleness again, and he already regretted giving Jueming Temple a gold sticker. Of course, the problem is not in the strategy, but in Li Kui.

He is an idle person, supervising the work in the temple all day long, just for a short time, after a long time, the whole body, anywhere and everywhere is uncomfortable, as if he has returned to the state of being an official in the imperial city.

Lying in the afternoon sun, next to the Xuande Gate Building, behind it is the low yamen of the Taishi Bureau, and opposite is the construction site of the Bell Tower. Leaning on the royal road, the geographical location is extremely advantageous, and Li Kui occupies a place in this place, enough to put down his creaking recliner. He squinted, looking at it with one pair at a time, bored like an uncle at the gate of the imperial city. It's a pity that there is no gatekeeper in the imperial city, but Li Kui's background is definitely more imposing than any guard.

However, most of the court ministers of Xuandemen who came and went were not afraid of him, which was embarrassing.

Previously, he was lazy in front of everyone in the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty, and now, he has carried forward this style to the Jueming Temple in Youzhou, Western Xia. When he was working in the morning and evening, he glanced at the progress of the gilding of the Buddha, and then lay down in this place and pretended to be dead.

Humming and chirping in his mouth, he sang a little song that no one could hear clearly, saying that it was really pleasant, but it was really boring to say that it was boring.

Li Kui closed his eyes slightly, as if someone blocked the cool breeze of his feng shui treasure, which made Li Kui dissatisfied, and the monks of Jueming Temple definitely did not have such eyesight.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a living person.

is also a monk, but there is no charm of a monk in Jueming Temple between his eyebrows, and Li Kui sees that the other party does not speak, and he does not speak. Just stared at it with wide eyes.

Ye Lijian was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, in Western Xia, out of the Huguo Temple, that common people dared to stare at him with such fearless eyes?

This made his heart suddenly burst into flames, and he asked in an unkind tone: "Are you a craftsman surnamed Li?" ”

Even the craftsman is not respectful.

In Jueming Temple, people who knew Li Kui would respectfully call him: "Master Li." Encountering such an unreasonable person, Li Kui said angrily: "You are enjoying the cool wind in front of me." ”

"Do you know who I am, who dare to be so unreasonable to me? You are just a craftsman brought by the Seven Kings, even if the Seven Kings are in front of this mage, they don't dare to be so rude. The monk Ye Lijian pointed at Li Kui, his young and handsome face contorted with anger.

Li Kui looked the other party up and down at this time, wearing a white monk's robe that he would only wear when doing things. This is not because of low status, but because monks of high status are qualified to wear it like this. In Jueming Temple, the old monk Zhiguang is qualified. It's just that I haven't seen him wear it before. Recently, I wore it every day when I was gilding the Buddha statue. It shows that this Buddha robe is not ordinary.

After asking curiously, I learned that it was because the Western Xia admired white, and whenever the big sacrifice was held, the princes and ministers had to wear white dresses.

The same is true of monks' robes, with the highest rank being white.

Obviously, the identity of the other party is not low, and then look at the age, twenty years old? I'm afraid not yet. He looks very young, but his temper is quite big. It seems like the backstage is hard.

Otherwise, he would not be disrespectful to Li Bingqian, and called the Seven Kings in his mouth, but Li Kui knew that in Western Xia, the honorific title of the prince was fiefdom + king, or title + king. Li Bingqian is also a prince, and it is not too much for a monk to call him a king. Although Li Bingqian's fief is a deleted Dan, don't look for it on the map, you can't find it, it's a mountain beam with no output. This is probably the most inferior fief among the princes. Don't take Li Bingqian in his eyes, he happened to be a monk in Youzhou City, Li Kui finally came back to his senses, this guy can't be the disciple of the national teacher, right?

Li Bingqian is afraid of him, but Li Kui is not afraid of him.

I saw Li Kui say coldly: "You are probably the disciple of the national teacher, right?" King Delete Dan once said, but you are just a monk of the Huguo Temple, and you have no position in the Merit Division, can it be that you regard yourself as a national teacher? ”

"Do you dare to be disrespectful to the national teacher?"

"No, I'm just disrespectful to you."

Li Kui smiled and laughed, this kind of neglect of the other party's snub is especially uncomfortable. At this time, no matter how good Yeligian's cultivation is, he can't help it, and besides, his cultivation is not very good. Pointing at Li Kui's nose and scolding angrily: "Cheap slave and barbarian, you know how to write dead characters, this mage wants you to live out of Youzhou." ”

"Believe it or not, I went to the Liang family to complain, saying that the national teacher scolded the queen mother for being a Han barbarian!"

"You!"

Yeli Anji was dumbfounded, his identity would be respected everywhere in Western Xia, not only the identity of the Huguo Temple, but also the identity of his Yeli tribe.

But Li Kui didn't have any respect for him, and he dared to talk back?

Not only did he talk back, but he also dared to slander, but it was also a first-class sin slander, he blushed, and tried to clear up: "The national teacher didn't say it. ”

"Your identity as a disciple of the national teacher, is there any difference between what you said and what the national teacher said? You don't look down on the Han people from the roots, you don't look down on the queen mother, and you want to subvert the Great Xia Kingdom that her old man has worked so hard to maintain. Wolf ambition? Do you think others can't see it? ”

Li Kui said a lot in one breath, not to mention anything else, it was the Empress Dowager Liang, which frightened the men in the Western Xia court. If Li Kui is really allowed to make trouble, unless he is assassinated, once the Liang family knows about it, not only will he be unlucky, but the national teacher will also suffer.

Don't think that the queen mother in power has a big heart, she is a woman who can't even tolerate her own eldest brother, will she allow people who are hostile to her to continue to be on the throne of the national teacher?

Once the national teacher is bombarded down, some people in Yelian Anji will clean him up.

The men of the Liang family are all waste, which is not good for foreign warfare. But in Western Xia, helping the women of the Liang family to engage in dictatorship in Western Xia is all good hands.

I have to say that the men of Western Xia were disgraced by the two women of the Liang family.

Yeli Anji immediately became angry, and warned Li Kui in a low voice: "Don't forget, you are a subordinate of the Seven Kings. ”

"Hehe, you are mistaken, I was just invited by the king of Delete Dan to come to Xixia to help the Buddha statue of Jueming Temple be gilded. As for the rest, I don't know anything. After Li Kui sat up, he saw that it was a sissy who did not pose any threat. Suddenly lay down lazily again, and didn't care about the other party.

But when he heard the Buddha statue pasted with gold, Yeli Anji became excited: "The rumors are true, why did the Seven Kings say that the gold was thrown in Jueming Temple instead of being sent to Huguo Temple?" ”

"I don't know about this, besides, the national teacher is not the father of the king of Delete Dan, why should all good things be sent to the Huguo Temple? It doesn't make sense! ”

Li Kui pretended not to know anything and said, his tone was quite impatient.

Ye Lijian was short of words for a while, and then said in amazement: "You are from the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"The people in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty have done things in Shaofu, what's the matter, you want to inquire about the details of the masters?" Li Kui waved his hand, meaning to let him go, and he didn't want to say more.

But Yeli Anji didn't want to leave at all, and he didn't feel ashamed when he squatted next to Li Kui. Today's Western Xia is completely no longer as fierce as Li Yuanhao's era, although the people are not rich, but the powerful are poor and luxurious, and there is no difference between them and the Great Song Dynasty scholars. And Li Kui is from the Shaofu in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, what does it mean?

On the road of no return on how to luxury, Li Kui is an absolute authority.

However, Yeli Anji still couldn't believe it, how could Li Bingqian invite a master craftsman like Li Kui, the fox asked Li Kui: "I'm afraid you're fooling Li Bingqian, right?" ”

Li Kui turned his head to look at the other party's magic robe, and sneered: "The lake silk you are wearing, that is, the soil buns like your Western Xia, will be worn on your body." In the Great Song Dynasty, this was the material used by the eunuchs to make pants. ”

Pants?

Norianji was puzzled: "What are pants?" ”

"Do you understand dirty clothes and pants?"

Yelian Anji understood, so he made a big red face and was ashamed of himself. He felt guilty of being immoral, but the problem was, he didn't do anything! He didn't have a problem, Xixia is this custom, the nobility of wearing white, he can't help it. I had to ask Li Kui with a shy face: "Does the master know how to remedy it?" ”

"Isn't it just a gold thread? The gold thread is reflective, but it is not as bright as the gold leaf, like fish scales, but it is like the water on the other side, sparkling, it will always surprise people inadvertently, and at the same time can add a sense of solemnity to the Buddhist disciples. Li Kui raised his eyebrows disdainfully, and his tone was quite contemptuous of such an unseen goods as Yeli Anji.

With a few words, Yeli Anji suddenly admired Li Kui's insight like a mountain, and he recognized Li Kui's identity, the first-class craftsman master of the Song Kingdom.

It was the first rate in the Song Kingdom.

Then in Western Xia, it must be a super-first-class master.

It is not an exaggeration to be called a 'master'. Who made Xixia eat and wear, build, and any technology is a big step behind the Great Song Dynasty? Especially in today's Western Xia, the respect for skilled craftsmen makes Yeli Anji a little unconfident in the face of Li Kui. After all, it was he who offended him first.

"Master, I don't know what the effect of this Buddha statue is after it is gilded?"

"The Buddha is angry and radiant!" Li Kui exaggerated.

Yeli Anji asked, "I wonder if the master can come to Huguo Temple to help?" ”

"Invite people to have the attitude of inviting people, it's useless for me to say this, by the way, haven't you been to the construction site to see the Buddha statue after the gilding?" Li Kui said curiously.

Yeli Anji's face was gloomy, and he said resentfully: "Zhiguang won't let me in." ”

"Then let's wait until the gold paste of the Buddha statue in Jueming Temple is completed." Li Kui stood up and gave an eviction order to Yelian Anji: "It's time, I'll go and see how I work today, please go back!" ”

"Master!"

Yeli Anji was unwilling to hold Li Kui, but Master Zhiguang didn't let him see it, which made him nervous, and he always felt that this old man was holding back. At the same time, he was also worried that the limelight of Huguo Temple would be stolen by Jueming Temple. This is definitely not good news for Huguo Temple.

"Master Li, Master Anji, the old man invites you to the tearoom for tea."

"Don't go, I want to listen to Master Li's skills."

"Master Li is very busy!"

……

Jueming Temple pasted gold leaf on the Buddha statue, and the monks in the temple couldn't hide it, not to mention the craftsmen who looked at the gold leaf. Yeli Anji originally came because Li Bingqian actually had gold that was not dedicated to Huguo Temple, but actually gave it to Jueming Temple, which made him very dissatisfied. But after meeting Li Kui, he found the treasure.

In particular, a wooden workshop was built around the Buddha statue, which was impermeable, and he was afraid that it would leak the heavenly secrets, which made him even more suspicious.

But Master Zhiguang is a lot older, can he still fool a young man?

When the tea was finished and Li Kui was gone, Yeli Anji became anxious, wondering whether he should wait for the Buddha statue to be gilded and re-admit pilgrims before leaving Youzhou.

Besides, Li Yun, after leaving the city, immediately rushed into Youzhou to go to Hongzhou.

It was only one day, and the party cavalry arrived as scheduled.

But what made Li Yun helpless was that no matter what method he used, he could not create an opportunity to ambush the party cavalry. Not only did he not, but there were two scouts who did not check, and they were almost discovered by the regular soldiers of the Jianing Military Division.

Thanks to his ability to hide his army in the distance, an encounter was avoided.

But if the party members are allowed to continue on the march, one day the men and horses of the Jianing Military Division should arrive in Hongzhou. Once he entered the city, it would be difficult for Li Yun to find an opportunity again.

In desperation, Li Yun had no choice but to find Zhang Chuan and the guide, and asked, "Is there any canyon to ambush?" ”

"No, even if there is a canyon in this area, it is not on the marching route. An ambush is simply impossible. The guide showed a hint of worry in his eyes and said, "General, the other party has all the horses, something is wrong!" ”

"How?"

Li Yun was already a lawsuit, and the moment he found out that the party reinforcements were coming, he had a helplessness that he couldn't start, which made him feel a little impatient.

A thought popped up in my heart, could it be that without my second brother by my side, I didn't even have the ability to win the battle?

As soon as this thought came out, it was like a wild grass growing wildly after the spring rain.

The guide is a common man who lives near Lingzhou all the year round, although he is a common man, he has also been conscripted into the army, and he is somewhat familiar with the party's army. He said worriedly: "General, only the regular soldiers of the party tribe will be equipped with war horses all year round. The horses of other tribes are sent to the royal pastures in Ganliang after spring. After all, many places in Western Xia are not suitable for grazing, and many places that used to be able to graze have now been reclaimed as farmland. And feeding with grain is too expensive, and it can't afford it at all, so in Western Xia, soldiers who have war horses all year round must be regular soldiers. ”

"I know it's a regular soldier."

Li Yun naturally knew that the soldiers sent by the Jianing Military Division were regular soldiers, which was all in the newspaper.

If there is an advantage of the terrain, there is not much difference between a regular soldier and a servant soldier. But if the terrain is comparable, or even when the other party has an advantage, it is difficult to say.

Li Yun also wanted to ambush, at least he didn't want to see this army enter Hongzhou. The secret letter sent to Huanqing Road has already been sent, and perhaps Master Zhang Qi has already arranged for the recovery of Hongzhou. At this time, if the elite regular soldiers of the party are to be released into Hongzhou City, it will definitely cause huge trouble.

Li Yun gritted his back molars, and his face changed for a while, and then he made up his mind: "Since there is no ambush terrain, General Ben will simply fight the elite of the party head-on to see who has the last laugh." ”

"Think twice, general!"

"I have made up my mind, and when the party members camp in the evening and bury the pot to cook, the whole army will immediately attack."

Li Yun is not gambling, but he knows that if he continues to hesitate, he can only get nothing. If Li Kui is here, I'm afraid he will think the same way as him, right?

After all, Li Kui has never been a person who works in vain, and he has to take advantage of him to make him happy.
