Chapter 245: Plotting the Western Regions
Three days later,
Shangjing,
"Selling rock sugar gourds, sweet and sour rock sugar gourds......"
"Selling meat buns, meat buns with thin skin and big filling......"
The capital has long been bustling with people, and the hawkers who walk the streets and alleys shouting hard, the tourists from other places who visit and sightsee, and the merchants who go south and north have also become active again, and the victory of the north and south cities is far better than before the Li family sat on the country.
Speaking of which, after the southern expedition, the waist pole of those merchants when they left the country was much stiffer, and the footprints were much farther, and even the rare objects that could be seen in the north and south cities were more, of course, the so-called trade was built on the strong foundation of the Qianguo, if there were merchants in the Great Qian's realm who said that trade had nothing to do with the borders, I am afraid that they would have been cut off by the imperial court and thrown away to feed the dogs.
And the so-called wine shop Fenglou Le Yue Xuan, Hua Dengjing City Shui Guangtian, is now the night scene of Shangjing South City, the curfew has gradually relaxed over time, in the end this is a magnificent era, this is for the cultivators, for the people, it is also a boring era, and there are only a few things for recreation, so the prosperity of the South City means the stability of Daqian in a sense.
Today's cadres are not the same as Qi country,
I have nothing to do at night to make dolls,
So the opening of the night market is also expected,
"The lights are shining, the lights of thousands of homes are shining, this is what the prosperous world looks like. ”
The young man sat on the second floor of a wine shop and looked at the prosperity below, and said softly, looking closely, there are many bearded men in the night market, women wearing thin skirts and exposing their navels full of exotic styles, even women with scarves wrapped in plain scarves and their whole bodies are also occasional.
"I don't know when I can have the same life as Chang'an,"
"The grandeur of the nations?"
The young man looked at the brightly lit night market and said softly, speaking of which, this is the third time he has come, and it is more and more prosperous than before, but he faintly feels that something is missing.
Maybe it's the rivers and lakes,
The young man looked at the stalls in the streets and alleys, and there were obviously fewer Jianghu customers with big Malaysian golden knives, even the ruffians and hooligans who shouted and punched their fists also restrained a lot, and after the news of Qingcheng's affairs came out, it can be said that the entire Daqian market has been stabilized to an extreme.
After all, the tens of thousands of corpses are still lying in the cracks of that small city at the moment, and the seven sects and eight factions that are the mainstays have disappeared under the suppression of the imperial court.
"Your Highness, it's almost time to think about it. ”
"According to the current situation, perhaps His Royal Highness and the crown will be able to push the strength of the Great Cadre to an unprecedented peak, that is, the real kingdoms of all countries can be seen in their lifetime. ”
Bai Xiaosheng, who was sitting next to him, said solemnly, in just three days, the Liangzhou Espionage Department has already pocketed more than half of the channels of Fengmanlou, and the Liangzhou Espionage Department has a wide range of supervision, and the entire Daqian territory is under control, and has become Xu Xian's veritable right-hand man.
"Perhaps. ”
"The people are here, so let's prepare for the hundred commanders. ”
"I hope there will be fewer deaths on this trip to Xiling. ”
The young man muttered softly,
After a while, his eyes fell on the woman from the Western Regions who was surrounded by the crowd at the bottom, surrounded by a hundred and ten brave warriors with swords, and the merchants of the Western Regions who met along the way were extremely respectful and saluted, giving way, looking at her expression, he also knew that the woman's identity was extraordinary, and now she was walking towards the restaurant where she was.
Coming is also the purpose of this trip to the night market.
Originally, I wanted to find a few merchants who often went to the Western Regions to inquire about the missionary situation of the Lanke Temple over there, but I didn't expect that some powerful people from the Western Regions would take the initiative to take this line.
Although the old monk around him was originally from the Ranke Monastery, after all, Master Shanshan was designated as a powerful reincarnation when he was born, and the way of looking at things from different angles will inevitably be biased, and some situations have to be understood from a different angle.
What's more, this trip to Xiling County, the attitude of the fifty-three countries in the Western Regions is also the top priority, in the end, war is not a child's play, if those countries that believe in Buddhism in the Western Regions also have to intervene in things, it will be a lot more troublesome, if it is not a monolith, then there will be a lot of room for maneuvering.
After all, fighting a war is to kill people, and those who die are their own people, knowing oneself and knowing the other can always kill many people, the lives of Liangzhou soldiers are very precious, and the young man does not want to be abrupt, which is also one of the reasons why Qingcheng fought his own strength to stop on the long street.
......
Downstairs in the restaurant,
The exotic woman paused, waved her hand lightly,
The hundred and ten warriors who were clustered around silently retreated silently when they saw this, put their hands everywhere in the wine shop, and straightened out the clothes on their bodies, with two or eight flowers, and their chests were like snow and their faces were like flowers, in general, the dress of women in the Western Regions was much more open than that of the people of Daqian, the woman slightly lifted the tulle on her chest, squeezed out a perfect arc at the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath and then walked upstairs.
The men from the outer regions at the bottom, looking at the nobles' solemn appearance, were also surprised to talk about it, even the ordinary people in Beijing also talked about it in a low voice, and the trade in the southern city was endless, but it seemed that the women's pomp and circumstance were indeed very rare.
Step into the second floor,
Several samurai who accompanied him silently put the position of the staircase,
The woman knocked on the wooden door of the box alone,
"Little woman Roshan, I've seen Your Highness!"
The attitude of the woman in the Western Regions was very low, and as soon as she entered, she saluted the young man according to the etiquette of the great cadre, and did not have half of the arrogance of those nobles in the Western Regions.
The embroidery is delicate, and the flower feast is late,
The body is lightly committed to the snow, Luo is thin and transparent,
"Miss Luo, please be seated. ”
The young man said, looking closely, the tulle on the face of the woman in the Western Regions could not hide the extremely three-dimensional facial features, just looking at the silhouette and posture of thousands of charming women.
The ornaments on the body also have the unique style of the Western Regions, but the posture of the walk is indeed the appearance of a dry person, I think I have made a lot of effort before this, that is, the name also uses the surname of the dry person.
"Your Highness, the little girl is here this time. ”
"I want to seek conspiracy with His Highness. ”
The woman got up very naturally and refilled the tea for the young man, and gently took off the tulle on her face, her eyes were full of spring water, and the waves were clear, it was a pair of seductive eyes, with the unique wildness of women in the Western Regions, with the belt behind her head, the black hair was draped on the side like a waterfall, a smile and a smile touched people's hearts, and it was a real stunner in the world.
The woman from the Western Regions looked at the young man in front of her with burning eyes,
The latter was unmoved,
A subtle surprise flashed in his eyes,
Seeing this, he leaned back slightly, sat down, and remembered Fang Cai's abrupt behavior, his face was a little hot, but as soon as he looked up, he met the young man's smiling gaze, and his gaze fell on his charming face.
"Little girl, it's rude, please don't blame Your Highness. ”
The woman from the Western Regions stood up and saluted again.
"Complicity?"
"Dare to ask the girl, since it is seeking great things. ”
"Where is the confidence, and what do you want?"
The young man's knuckles lightly tapped on the wooden table, looking at the woman's forcibly calmed appearance, remembering all the details of Fang Cai, before he spoke, if it was just a vase with a deep background, he would not have so much spare time.
"The little woman's Apa is the lord of Qu Xianguo. ”
"I think I can barely count the confidence of the little woman to speak, my Qu Xianguo can also be regarded as a big country in the Western Regions, although it is not as good as the big Qian, but I can also provide some help to His Highness in the Western Regions. ”
The woman of the Western Regions is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Qu Xianguo?"
The young man still has a little image when he hears this name, Qu Xian can be regarded as the top few countries in the fifty-three countries of the Western Regions, and there are more than 10,000 people in the country who wear armor and control the strings, for the rest of the small countries, it is an absolute behemoth, the woman is beautiful, and proficient in music, famous for dance music, and even more than half of the dancing girls in the Qinglou in Beijing are from Qu Xianguo.
And the woman in front of her is from the Quxian royal family, no wonder she was born so beautiful, with a smile and a smile, touching the soul, light steps, and intriguing, for women in the Western Regions many times it is more like a kind of goods, and the woman in front of her is definitely a sky-high price of goods, if she moves the slightest thought, I am afraid that she will sleep next to her tonight, and her posture is also a bargaining chip.
"As for what you want, and Your Highness is generally to destroy the Buddha!"
The woman from the Western Regions took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"In the land of the Western Regions where the light of the Buddha has shone for thousands of years, there are people who want to destroy the Buddha?"
The young man asked softly,
But there are not many surprises in the words.
"Your Highness is not in a hurry. ”
"The little woman Rong will give His Highness a story. ”
"Fifteen hundred years ago, a monk named Lianhuasheng set foot on the land of the Western Regions and wanted to promote the so-called Buddhism, but at that time, everyone in that land was scornful, swords and corpses everywhere, how can the so-called Buddhism, compassion, be able to persuade the world?"
"But unknowingly, in the past few decades, his footprints have traveled all over the Western Regions, and the people at the bottom are proud to kiss his footprints, and even the upper nobles have begun to chant Buddhist scriptures......"
The woman from the Western Regions did not have the slightest piety when she talked about Padmasambhava, but with a playful tone, full of pity for the nobles and people mentioned in the story.
"Finally, the most powerful lord of the Western Regions came with thousands of warriors, two princesses and countless palace maids like flowers, and then the musicians immediately played solemn music, and the singing sounded like heavenly music, and everyone danced and danced the lion dance, accompanied by the masquerade, and greeted Lotus Huasheng with the most lively dance music in the world. ”
"And the mighty lord,"
"It's the ancestor of our Qu Xianguo!"
The woman from the Western Regions spoke with reverence, but there was a faint hint of dissatisfaction at the end, after all, their ancestors were the first to accept Buddhism, and it was from that time that the Buddha's light began to shine on the land of the Western Regions.
"And now it's in Kuqa City. ”
"The city is full of Buddha statues, and there are monks all over the city. ”
There was a bit of coldness in the woman's tone,
"The people can remember thousands of Buddhas, but they don't know that I am the royal family. ”
"What's even more ridiculous is that the little woman's Apa, when the lord of Qu Xianguo was crowned, he had to be blessed by the living Buddha of the Rotten Ke Temple, so that he could rightfully sit in that position. ”
The woman from the Western Regions laughed to herself.
"Under the hundred-zhang giant Buddha in the Rotten Ke Temple, the dry bones of thousands of people in the Western Regions are buried, just after it was built, a total of no less than 200,000 slaves died in those decades, and as for the years to come, only I Quxian sent more than 1,000 slaves to worship the Buddha every year, and there are ......countless materials to worship."
At the end, the voice of the woman from the Western Regions had become extremely cold, and the henchman warrior who was holding his hand outside listened to only a few words, so he pressed his head very low, and subconsciously took a few steps into the distance, and the plan here was not something he could know.
"The girl wants to take back the rights that belong to the royal family?"
The young man took a sip of tea and said leisurely, and the words of the person in front of him were also expected, divine power and royal power are natural opposites, and if either party wants to sit big, one party must be suppressed, and as for the big cadres, there are Taoist checks and balances that have been passed down for thousands of years, and those complicated local religions in the Western Regions really have no capital to fight.
"Hmm!"
"This is what my family Apa means. ”
"It's also Ruoqiang, Khotan, the meaning of my three major lords of the Western Regions!"
"The most important thing is ......"
The woman from the Western Regions paused.
"That's what Your Highness meant!"
The woman from the Western Regions looked at the young man and said word by word.
A very smart woman, the young man thought that she had done her best in terms of scale, sincerity in her words, and grasp of timing.
"What about the rest of the nations?"
"Among the remaining countries, there are two countries with more than 10,000 troops, from top to bottom, whether it is the nobles or the royal family, they have completely fallen under the Buddha statue. ”
"As for the remaining forty or so countries, most of them are, there are only more than a thousand troops in a small place, a few have thousands of soldiers, and there are several cities, they need the help of the Rotten Ke Temple to maintain their rule, at least to ensure the survival of their "royal family", so His Royal Highness wants to destroy the Buddha is the enemy of most of the Western Regions. ”
"All kinds of things together are also a lot of force. ”
"What can you do?"
The young man said softly.
"I'm Qu Xian, Ruoqiang, Khotan, the soldiers of the whole country, cut off the soldiers and horses of the rest of the countries in the Western Regions to aid the Rotten Ke Temple, and there will never be a soldier from the Western Regions who will step through the West Pass half a step before His Highness destroys the temple!"
The voice of the woman in the Western Regions suddenly rose a little,
There is an indescribable heroism and wildness between the eyebrows.
"And what do you want?"
"After the destruction of the Buddha. ”
"Please also ask Your Highness to accept me Qu Xian, Ruoqiang, and serve Daqian as the suzerainty in Khotan!"
The woman fell directly to the ground,
There is not the slightest trace of the arrogance of the royal family of the great powers of the Western Regions.
"Since they have already mobilized the strength of the country, why do you want to add two people who divide the flesh and fight for their lives and unify the Western Regions?"
The young man said thoughtfully, the land of the Western Regions has no value to swallow in terms of Daqian, but it is different for Qu Xianguo, who has lived there for generations.
"After the destruction of the Buddha, the Western Regions are in turmoil, with my Qu Xian's national strength, this piece of fat can naturally be swallowed slowly, but His Royal Highness does not want to see a unified Western Regions, and the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions are established, I think it is a situation that His Royal Highness is willing to see, so that His Highness can feel at ease, and my Qu Xianguo can also be at ease. ”
The woman from the Western Regions said very frankly.
......
wine shop,
"She's a very smart woman. ”
The young man looked at the back of the woman from the Western Regions and said softly.
"It's a pleasure to work with smart people. ”
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the woman's remaining tokens and sighed.
"What's more, she can see where she is. ”
"Where the sun and the moon shine, all are dry soil......"
The young man stretched his waist and whispered something softly, looking at the moonlight in the sky, his eyes were as bright as stars.
