Chapter 114: The King Swears Not to Be Destroyed
The Huashan faction did not continue to entangle with its rival Lu Yunpeng. Even Ye Qianxun, who had the greatest hatred, restrained himself and did not seek revenge with Lao Meng.
Focus on the essentials and don't ask about the rest. Successfully helping Shaolin get out of trouble is the goal.
There were a lot of monks killed in the battle on the Shaolin side, and the Heavenly King Zhiwu was replaced, but the price was really big.
The essence of the lower courtyard of Bodhidharma was almost ruined.
The bright moon on the horizon was still bright, reflecting on the white monk's robe of the Grandmaster of Xue'an, which had been stained with black and red blood.
He instructed the monks to hastily carry the corpses of their fellow disciples and evacuate, and the monks did not even have time to recite the mantra of death.
Xue An stood in the battlefield where slush and blood were intertwined, and the Buddha beads on her wrists had been lost at some point, and they were a little empty.
The Zen master felt the tragedy of tonight, and looked at the dead corpses everywhere, as well as the knights who died in battle, and the war horses that wandered in front of the corpse of their master. sighed and said:
"The traces of the ancients before the thousand-year-old ancestral hall, all thoughts have disappeared a little empty......"
Whispered half of the Buddha's verse, but he didn't finish it. The Diluo monk on one side raised his eyebrows, "Dog fart!" ”
"If we lose this time, let's win it back next time. What a Zen machine! ”
This dervishew had such a temper that he resembled a general accustomed to fighting on the battlefield. He is the only one who dares to scold Xue'an, who is also one of the three great masters.
The one-armed precept of anger agrees with this very much, what is a warrior monk, brave and diligent, burning himself with fire. How can a big husband be like a young man?
Shaolin was willing to gamble and lose, and the monks didn't say anything, and under the protection of a group of Huashan swordsmen, they were on guard and slowly retreated.
Shaolin was also afraid that King Yi's side would attack him halfway and kill him.
But Wu Chang really didn't want to fight anymore, and so did the soldiers at the bottom, they could still loot when they attacked enemy cities and village forts, and there was no reward for dying in the field.
They are not family members, but have the bereavement of the Lord's family. Both the generals and the military are tired of war at the moment.
"Go back and return to the prince."
Captain Meng, Wang He and others said.
He didn't have time to say goodbye to a few people, so he lit a pine torch first, raised it high and shook it three times, and transmitted the signal to Mo Kui's group in the distance.
"Let's go!" Mo Kui drank the remnants of the wine bag in his eyelids in one gulp, jumped on the horse and said.
Lao Meng and the others followed the Luoyang army to all the troops, and the torches burned through the gloomy night, like a winding and continuous fire snake swimming in the snow.
The ownerless war immediately carried the corpse of the robe, and the army all headed towards Luoyang.
The snow fields are vast, the mountains are vast, the mountains are south, and the dead are returned.
Five more ten, the long night is not young.
In the Yiwang Mansion, a grand and luxurious night banquet has begun. Thousands of lanterns rise, and the lights and candles are bright, as bright as day.
Zhu Zhanlong didn't wait for the dawn, and directly set up a banquet to reward Meng Yishan and Wu Chang, as well as several masters.
In the field, a group of royal singers were singing and dancing in silk and bamboo, and the prince Zhu Pan sat in the first place under his father, and his face was not very good.
Shizi looked at the wine and food in front of him, like poison, he didn't approve of the secret war with the Shaolin Temple on the side of the imperial court, and he fought a lot, and lost a lot of soldiers, and his second brother was lost.
also had to feast Lao Meng's group, and the prince couldn't wait to lift the table.
Yiwang Zhu Zhanlong was also not happy, but the prince still picked up his wine glass and praised Meng Yishan and Wu Chang with a smile.
The prince hated Shaolin and Huashan, a group of people in the rivers and lakes who made trouble, he had to admit this small victory, and he couldn't chill the heart of the capable leader. even gave a pair of beautiful women to Wu Chang and Lao Meng.
Wu Chang got up and insisted on not accepting it, "Wu has failed in this battle, and the guards and cavalry in Luoyang have lost too much, so they should not be generously rewarded by the prince!" ”
"Xiao Wu, what the are you ......" Lao Meng scolded Wu Chang in his heart for pretending to be garlic, so he couldn't follow the little lady who couldn't be sent by the prince.
However, Wu Chang's reaction reminded Lao Meng, the beauty sent by the prince, who dares to say that it is not a meticulous work that secretly transmits news? He didn't dare to put it on his pillow when he took it back.
And this is not the time to worry about the beautiful chicks in the palace.
Meng Yishan also got up and bowed to the end, "I commanded you all with my humble duties, but I didn't win all of them, and I also lost the king of Yongning County, please punish the prince!" ”
Wu Chang didn't dump him, and he couldn't throw it to others, so he could only carry it on his own.
When he mentioned the king of Yongning in his mouth, he was calm, his face was not white, and his color remained the same.
King Yi's father and son were both bluffed.
Zhu Zhanlong personally walked over, pulled him up, and said very kindly: "Yishan has a meritorious service this time, and he also drew the first swordsman of Huashan, as for the ...... of Ju'er."
The prince had expected this secret war before, and the army dispatched on a small scale, concentrating on the masters to wipe out the lower courtyard of Dharma.
I have also thought about the fact that I may sacrifice Zhu Ju's son as a last resort.
Although the Yongning Army mutiny hurt the relationship between father and son, he still hoped that Zhu Ju would live and be abducted by the monks.
"Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, fathers and sons, father and son...... Let him go! ”
He wants to rebel against the court, and his son wants to rebel against him, isn't this a debt? This vassal king has a very helpless sadness at the moment.
Lao Meng looked at it coldly, the son of your Zhu family is a son, and the women and people in Yongning and Luoyang who were harmed by him were also raised by their parents, and they still died too late.
The thief felt that he still couldn't learn from Wu Chang so bluntly and refused, so he deliberately looked at the beauty sent by the prince reluctantly. He is really distressed, not acting.
"Anyway, the matter hasn't been done properly, the beauty can't ask for it, or the prince will keep it for me Lao Meng first, and next time I will make a meritorious service, and then take it back?"
"Nonsense!" King Yi has never seen this bargain, but seeing that he and Wu Chang do not accept beauties, he is not too embarrassed, so he raised his wine glass again and said: "General Wu upholds integrity and has the style of Sun Wu, if I am a great Ming civil and military, like you and Yishan, the world will be peaceful, and the Haiyan River will be clear." ”
After that, they raised their glasses, and everyone drank them all. Zhu Zhanlong's face was ruddy, his expression was excited, and he pretended to be drunk and said:
"How can the government be wrong, the border pass is agitated, the emperor is trapped in Wara, he is alone in the clan, the ancestor is a descendant, he can't lift the three-foot sword, cut off all the traitors in the court, the whole army and the military, out of the fortress to welcome back the emperor."
Obedient and listening, Wang He at the bottom was more excited than him, whoever can welcome back the emperor is good, the prince immediately stood up and said, "Wang Ye Yingrui!" I don't know when to start the army? ”
"Father! Please be careful! Zhu Pan's face changed, his father and the eunuch went crazy, and immediately knelt on the ground, "The clan must not interfere in the government!" Please be cautious!"
King Yi sneered and glared at his son, Zhu Pan lowered his head deeply, but he just couldn't get up on his knees.
Wu Chang stood out at this moment, and said generously: "Wu is willing to be the king's precursor!" Fight hard! ”
King Yi nodded noncommittally, and his eagle eyes turned to look at Lao Meng.
"Me too!"
Captain Meng stubbornly stood side by side with Wu Chang, "Whoever the prince wants to fight, I will be the vanguard, charge into battle, let's fight to Wara and take the Emperor Taishang back!" ”
Who cried the most in the seat, Wang Hegong's green shirt was wet!
This Captain Meng is a real virtuous man, Wang He was happy when he heard this, and it was in vain that he annotated the Xuanyang Sutra to Lao Meng.
What is public loyalty to the country, and understand the righteousness! Here it is.
