Aung San-thanh, Tuoba Lie, Shen Fei, and Chu Xie went hand in hand all the way into the city, and after entering the city, they found that the streets had long been under martial law, and the people stood on the roofs of their own houses, watching the movements on the streets of martial law from afar.

Following the main road all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Fei was surprised to find that as Qingzhou City, which was almost three to four times the size of Nantong, its City Lord's Mansion was far from being as large as Nantong, and it would not be like Shangqiu City Lord Tuoba Jun, who built the City Lord's Mansion by the mountain.

The whole city lord's mansion can see its outline at a glance, but it is just a courtyard with an excellent geographical location, the courtyard is simply decorated, there are no carved beams and jade pillars, and there is no inlay with gold and silver, it is an ordinary appearance, and occasionally you can see hanging longbows and mottled horseshoe hanging.

It can be seen that getting close to the leader is both good and bad, and the good thing is that you can know the leader's mind at any time and act in a planned way; the bad part is that your behavior must be low-key, checked, and you must not go beyond the thunder pool.

Aung San's young people rarely do anything, and they still know this truth when they are so happy, and so are other officials.

The thousand-person army lived in the military room, the prince of Lie brought a few personal guards, and Shen Fei, Chu Xie, and Nalan Ruoxue lived in the city lord's mansion.

On the way here, Shen Fei found that in the southwest direction of the City Lord's Mansion, there was actually a majestic building with a height far exceeding the mansion, and he felt the holy breath from it, and he could almost hear the faint sound of Sanskrit, which must be a temple of Buddhism.

In the city closest to the imperial capital, the temple was built so luxuriously and extravagantly that the scale far exceeded the mansion of the local magistrate, which shows the status of the monks in the leadership of the people's kingdom.

The temple is resplendent in gold, and the monks like gold, not because they are greedy for money, but because gold represents status, and it is a high-order color second only to white. Shen Fei could even feel that even if martial law was imposed on the streets, it could not stop people from going to the temple to worship and worship.

Lingyike once said that Buddhism and Taoism are similar, the most powerful people are all concentrated in one place, forming a concentration of power, and the place where Buddhist monks gather is the imperial capital. As Qingzhou, which is close to the imperial capital, its monasteries are luxurious and desirable, so it is speculated that the imperial monasteries must be more extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei asked intentionally or unintentionally: "What a magnificent temple stands in the west, dare to ask the name of the temple ......?"

The purpose of the construction of this temple is to listen to the sufferings of the world, enlighten the people of the world to do good deeds, and obtain good fortune in the next life. ”

"Cultivating this life and getting the blessings of the next life, interesting!" Shen Fei couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I'm going to the temple to complain." ”

He laughed, anyone could hear what was in the words, Tuoba Lie frowned and said, "Shen Daozun, we are new here, don't make any extraneous branches." ”

"Yes, the host of Chaoyin Temple is the previous host of Lingyin Temple, you can't afford to mess with it. "Aung Santhanh deliberately provoked trouble.

Shen Fei naturally wouldn't fall for his radical method, but he also felt curious and asked, "The host of Chaoyin Temple is the former host of Lingyin Temple, why is this?"

"His Royal Highness must know the origin of this matter. Aung Sanching deliberately threw the topic to the prince.

The latter excused himself and said: "This king has lived outside the Seychelles for a long time, and he knows very little about the affairs of the imperial capital, and he also asks General Aung San to speak out." ”

"In that case, I will tell you the reason, and listen to it with a few people, and I will listen to the story. ”

"Listen up. ”

"As you all know, there were two major events thirty years ago, one is that an unprecedented battle between good and evil broke out in the Xiuzhen Realm, the great demon Shui Junyue led the demon sect to attack Shu Mountain;

Things in the world are often like this, and things that seem unrelated are often very related behind them. In that year, with the large-scale invasion of the Demon Sect, the Pure Altar was opened, and three monks came out of the Pure Altar, one of whom replaced the presiding officer of the Lingyin Temple at that time, and led the Buddhas of the People's Kingdom to declare war on the Buddha. The superseded host of Lingyin Temple had nowhere to go, and entered the precept hall during the war, and as the hall master, he came to Qingzhou as soon as the war was over, and established a temple called Chaoyin Temple. Miao Miao's Buddha is all ordinary sounds, which he personally proposed, came here to experience the suffering of mortals, and then relayed it to the Buddha. ”

"It's a good thing to say, but the new monk has grabbed his position, and he has no choice but to run away and set up another court. Chu Xie said what Shen Fei thought in his heart.

Aung Sanching kept silent, did not reprimand or express his approval, but caused several maids in the courtyard to look at each other evilly, and it was obvious that they were all believers in Buddhism.

"I once heard a friend say that during the battle between good and evil, three masters came out of the pure altar, and after the battle between good and evil, all of them died, and then the pure altar was not opened, how could anyone occupy the position of host?" Listening to Aung Santhanh's words, Shen Fei couldn't help but have doubts, because he clearly remembered that Li Tingxi said that all the three messengers who walked out of the pure altar were killed in battle.

Aung San Ching said: "I don't know much about the battle between good and evil, but one thing is certain, at least one of the three eminent monks who walked out of the Pure Altar has survived to the present, and continues to spread Buddhism as the presiding officer of Lingyin Temple, because the current presiding monk of Lingyin Temple is a senior monk of the pure character generation. The former presiding officer of Lingyin Temple, who was replaced by him, was a monk of the common generation, and he felt embarrassed in his position in Buddhism, so he came here to establish Chaoyin Temple. ”

"If it's really like what you said, my friend deliberately deceived me, but what is the purpose of her deceiving me, it's not something difficult to tell, I can detect it sooner or later, why do I have to lie!" Shen Fei's heart sank, recalling the scene at that time, it seemed that he had already discovered that when Tingxi spoke, Tingfang's expression was wrong, so he realized that what she said might be false, but she didn't dig deeper.

"Hey, time flies, things are people, Tingxi is no longer the person she was when she first met. Shen Fei took a deep breath and his gaze became sharp, "And the truth she is unwilling to say directly, there must be an ulterior secret hidden in it!"

After thinking about it, he asked, "I once fought with a high-ranking monk of the common character generation, and that person was called Puyuan. ”

"Just because you are worthy of fighting Master Puyuan!" Aung San-thanh looked over with a smile and a sly gaze.

Shen Fei knew that he must have known something about his deeds in the ring, so he deliberately said so, and said shamelessly: "He is my subordinate's defeat." ”

Aung San-thanh almost laughed: "Master Pu Yuan and the contemptible man are close friends, I have to ask him if I have the chance, so as not to be insulted." ”

"If you ask, I don't believe that a dignified monk will not admit his failure. ”

Stop-and-go, although the yard is small, the garden design is extremely exquisite, the style is extensive, the tall garden trees are almost invisible, as far as the eye can see, there are mostly low small trees, growing side by side one after another, and the horticulturist prunes out the shape of elk, wild boar and so on. The center of the garden is repaired with a rockery, and the bottom of the rockery is passed by flowing water, which is the water of the Haihe River, which is dug from the river and goes straight into the sea.

Entering the hall and entering the main hall, a fierce bow comes into view, the bow is rough, the place where the arrow is out is wrapped in linen, pine material, the bow body is mottled, and there are worn places in many places, which can be seen to be an old bow that has been honorably retired. Aung Sanching himself said that he wore it when he was a guard in the Ouchi, and after he was transferred to his post, he hung the armor to remember the weight of the emperor's grace. Looking down, a dried wolf's skin lay flat on the main seat, head down, mouth reaching down the steps, narrow eyes still emitting a dark light.

The two rows of tables and chairs are placed parallel to each other, and the dark brown blankets are laid underneath, which is soft and comfortable to step on.

"Oops!" Nalan Ruoxue's scream caused Shen Feidi to be alert, and he immediately turned around and asked, "What's wrong Ruoxue?"

The latter, with a frightened look in his eyes, trembled and stretched out his right hand, pointed to the roof beam, and said, "That...... Over there...... There is a big snake. ”

Shen Fei's heart froze, and he looked in the direction she had guided, and sure enough, he saw a thick python wrapped around the black roof, half of the python was wrapped around the roof, half of its body was suspended in the air, the snake was full of words, staring at them with fierce eyes, as if it was on alert, and it might attack at any time.

Shen Fei snorted, frowned and glared back, the latter retracted his body back onto the beam with a "whin" as if he had been struck by lightning. The snake is the god of the family, and the python lodged in the mansion is a symbol of fortune, and the owner generally does not drive it away.

Aung Sanching laughed and said: "I had this big snake when I moved in, it seems that the previous owner is gone, so it is not friendly to outsiders, I don't want to drive it away, so I let it continue to settle here." ”

"This mansion is not General Aung San's?" Shen Fei was a little puzzled, after all, as a city lord, his official rank was already very high, and it would not make sense to say that he didn't even have a mansion.

"The house was left by the previous city lord, and I lived in it directly after I came, and it hasn't been renovated. Aung San-thanh said with a smile, not at all impressed.

Shen Fei immediately understood that Aung Santhanh's ambition was not as simple as a mere city lord, he had a more ambitious goal, so he used this place as a transit station and did not plan to settle down all the time, and because of this, he did not specifically repair his own mansion, but only added some decorations on the original basis, such as longbows, armor and wolf skins.

"Aung San-thanh, Aung San-thanh, I have met an amazing person before I entered the imperial capital. "Whether it is bearing, demeanor, or even age, Aung Sanqing, as the lord of Qingzhou City, can be summarized as a young and promising type, and there is a broad space for development in the future, and he is the most likely person to succeed the position of the general king. The so-called glimpse of the whole picture, a city lord of Qingzhou City is still like this, and the people in the imperial capital are even more amazing.

There is only one main seat, and Aung Sanqing, who can go fifteen miles out of the city to greet Prince Lie, will not sit, he chooses to sit in the first place, and sit face to face with Tuoba Lie, Shen Fei, Chu Xie, and Nalan Ruoxue.

"A few people have come from afar, the food has already been prepared, let's rest here, drink some tea, and then go to eat. After they sat down, a beautiful maid brought them tea, which was a means for the nobles of the empire to entertain their guests, and the better the tea, the more respect they had for their guests.

You can smell the fragrance through the cup, and the tea leaves in the cup are sure to be of the highest quality.

"The city lord of Aung San was hospitable, and the king remembered it in his heart, and was grateful, so he replaced the wine with tea and gave the city lord a cup. "Tuoba Leh and Aung Sanching are both from military backgrounds, and they are both cheerful personalities, speculating with each other and paying tribute with tea instead of wine.

"His Royal Highness the prince is the body of a daughter, can come to Qingzhou to rest so that the entire Qingzhou city is full of brilliance, a new look, Aung San also with tea instead of wine, to His Royal Highness. ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Fei suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor deliberately arranged for the emperor to come to Qingzhou to meet Aung Sanqing. After all, the two are also from the military, they are of the same age, and it is easy to get acquainted, and Aung Sanching is a popular person in front of His Majesty, and it is very likely that he will become the future general king, if His Majesty really values Prince Lie, it is very likely to create an opportunity for him and Aung Sanching to get to know him.

Tea is not like liquor, tea is brewed from boiling water, the water temperature is high and hot, but both of them are very men drink the tea in the cup, one to express enough attention to each other, and the other to show their heroic spirit.

After drinking a cup of tea, the tea poured again will be tasted slowly. Tuoba Lie said: "Brother Aung San, you are a close minister of your father's side, do you know what your father thinks about this king's trip. ”

Aung San-thanh took a sip of tea and was silent for a long time, so Tuoba Lie's heart tightened and asked, "Father, the emperor, but he has bad thoughts about this king?"

"Hahaha, where did Your Highness think of it. Who doesn't know, the concubine Niangniang is the most favored concubine today, you and the ten princes are the biological sons of the concubine Niangniang, His Majesty the Emperor loves the house and Wu, and it is too late to pamper him, how can he have bad ideas.

Wei Chen believes that His Majesty must not want the evil things left by the Tongtian Sect members to enter the imperial capital, so he sent His Royal Highness to settle here. At this point, Aung San-thanh suddenly leaned forward, changed his tone, and said meaningfully: "If this is not the case, how can Aung San have the opportunity to get acquainted with His Highness." ”

"Oh...... Did you really expect it right? Shen Fei pursed his lips and pondered.

Tuoba Lie glanced at the other party deeply, resolutely stood up, walked to Aung Sanqing in two steps, and arched his hand: "How can this king He De get acquainted with a general like Aung Sang's brother who has both ability and integrity. ”

"Your Highness is laughing! Putting aside His Royal Highness's honorable status, the merits you have made on the frontier of the empire alone are beyond Aung San's lifetime. Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, Aung San actually had the intention of defecting to make friends, but he has never had the opportunity. When I saw him today, Aung San wanted to express his heartfelt feelings and loyalty to His Highness no matter what. Aung Santhanh did not shy away from making overtures, indicating that the dispute between the kings had reached a fever pitch, and that the princes and ministers had sided in support of their trusted prince, so as to achieve the goal of sharing the fruits of victory after the prince ascended the throne.
