Bai Sheng didn't understand what Sumba said, so he looked at Li Ruolan, who had just walked up to the Danqi and sat down, but saw that Li Ruolan was looking at him with an intriguing gaze, and translated in Chinese: "The national teacher said that you have fallen into the demonic barrier. ”

When Bai Sheng heard this, he was secretly frightened, he didn't know what kind of ghost this old monk had, could it be that he was born to clash with me? At the moment, he was even more vigilant, and he was always ready to take the road and escape.

But unexpectedly, Sumba suddenly raised his voice and said another sentence, which he could understand, because this was the six-character mantra recited by Ba Xijingming and others:

"Boom, boom!"

These six-character mantra came out of Sumba's mouth, which was completely different from the chorus of Ba Xijingming and other monks before, not only the sound was like a bell, but also the momentum was magnificent, which only shocked his heart, and inexplicably produced a kind of fear, for fear that Sumba would recite it again.

Instead of continuing to chant the mantra, Sumba closed his eyes and whispered a few words.

Li Ruolan immediately translated to Bai Sheng: "The national teacher said that you have fallen into the demon barrier is not too deep, and it is still too late to turn back at this time, if you have a deep demon heart, at this time he has already shocked you to death on the spot with a mantra." ”

Sumba nodded slowly and said a few more words.

Li Ruolan continued to translate: "The national teacher said that your internal skills are good, and it is very rare to be able to stand under his full of internal strength, if you don't want to fall into the hell of the devil in the future, you can take refuge in Buddhism and practice Buddhism diligently to dissolve the demonic obstacles and anger on your body." ”

Bai Sheng was very unimpressed after hearing this, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu came to Xixia this time to destroy your Yipintang, what kind of demonic obstacle is this?

In his psychological state of extreme anticipation of Sumba and Li Ruolan, of course he would not appreciate any changes in his inner world, but he didn't know that at this moment he had returned to the right path from the evil path full of lust.

At the moment, he pretended to be perfunctory: "Does the national teacher of Sumba mean to let me worship him as a teacher?"

Li Ruolan translated Bai Sheng's words to Sumba, who shook a thin palm and said a few words at Li Ruolan.

Li Ruolan translated: "Your cultivation is contrary to the sect of the national teacher, and you can't worship under him, but the national teacher said that there will be a Buddhist monk visiting recently, and he can introduce you to worship under that high monk." ”

Bai Shengxin said that Lao Tzu didn't want to worship you as a teacher, and it was just right to be able to clear up the relationship, so he pretended to thank you at the moment.

Sumba didn't continue to say anything about Bai Sheng, but changed the topic and discussed the military situation with Li Ruolan.

There are three major things that need to be dealt with urgently in front of the Tangut people today:

The first is to catch this assassin who has repeatedly infiltrated the palace but stayed in Xingqing Mansion and did not leave;

The second is that troops must be immediately sent to Hengshan to recover the lost territory and consolidate the border defense;

The third is to keep the reconnaissance Tong Guan army moving, do a good job of defending other border cities, and always be ready for the upcoming all-out war.

The second of these is the most tricky, because the terrain of Hengshan is complex, and the fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Assuming that the Song army only used Di Lie's 20,000 troops to defend it, the Western Xia had to send 100,000 troops to have any hope of regaining it.

And if the Song army deployed more than 50,000 troops, then even if it sent 200,000 troops to counterattack, there was no chance of victory.

In addition, if you want to capture the fortress in the ravines and forests of Hengshan, the elites of Yipintang and Makui must participate in the battle, which requires one of the two of them, Sumba and Li Ruolan, to lead the army.

But once one of these two people leaves Xingqing Mansion, then the thief hiding in Xingqing Mansion is bound to be even more rampant and arrogant, and it will be more difficult to arrest him.

More than 20 days ago, a monk from the ancient temple in the Central Plains wrote a letter to Sumba, saying that he would come to Xingqing Mansion within a month to learn Buddhism and confirm martial arts with Somba.

Sumba did not say who this monk was, only said that this monk has a deep relationship with his Chengtian Temple, if he can ask for the help of this monk, with the power of him and the princess, plus Ba Xi Jingming and other elites of Yipintang, when the net can be laid, so that the thieves have nowhere to escape after committing the crime.

In addition, Li Ruolan also wrote a letter to send someone to the Ethereal Peak of the Tianshan Mountains to ask her half-sister for help.

But Li Ruolan also said that her brother-in-law has never liked to intervene in the rivers and lakes and fight with others, and whether this letter can move the couple to return to their parents' home in Xingqing Mansion is still between the two.

During the discussion, Li Ruolan allowed Wei Minghui to help Bai Sheng translate, so Bai Sheng understood what they were saying, but this understanding made him even more confused.

He was not very interested in the high monks of the Central Plains that Sumba said, and he did not pay much attention to the sister and brother-in-law on the ethereal peak of the Tianshan Mountains that Li Ruolan said, he only wondered about one thing.

As long as his purpose is not to assassinate the emperor, why must he be caught before he can consider counterattacking Hengshan? Could it be said that catching Bai Qin would be beneficial to the Song and Xia Wars? Or is it that what Bai Qin wants to steal is heavier than the entire territory of Western Xia?

In the conversation between Sumba and Li Ruolan, this issue was never discussed, they did not say what the purpose of the thief was to enter the palace, only said that the thief's light skills were extremely high, and then they were deliberating about the location where the thief was hiding in Xingqing Mansion.

He was confused, but he couldn't raise the question.

On the one hand, it was because he didn't want to show concern about the major affairs of the military aircraft so as not to arouse suspicion, and on the other hand, his status in this room was very low, only higher than Wei Minghui.

He made up his mind and listened to it, how much information could he hear, anyway, he just knew that the master of Baicaomen was in Xingqing Mansion, and he could ask Yelu Nanxian later, or he could follow Li Ruolan and touch the melon.

After Sumba and Li Ruolan finished talking about the thieves, they began to discuss sending scouts to explore the deployment of the Great Song troops in the Hengshan area.

Now the total number of elite soldiers that Western Xia can gather is only 300,000, and all of them outside the 300,000 are old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, and it is too unrealistic to send 300,000 horse infantry elite soldiers to counterattack Hengshan, because it is tantamount to a desperate gamble.

Therefore, although it is not possible to send troops for the time being until the thieves are caught, the deployment of the Song army in Hengshan must be investigated, otherwise they will not know how much to send when the troops are dispatched.

When talking about this issue, Ba Xi Jingming suddenly interjected, saying that in Tongwancheng, he captured an important figure of the Song army, and this important person must understand the composition of the Song army's attack on Western Xia and even the deployment of defense.

Li Ruolan was surprised and delighted when she heard this, and couldn't stop complaining about why Ba Xijingming didn't say it earlier, Ba Xijingming said with a bitter face: "This person was protected by the princess of Liao......

This matter is related to the rise and fall of my Western Xia country, and her protection of the generals of the Song army is not equivalent to destroying her sister?"

Li Ruolan immediately decided to go to Yelu Guyu, no matter what, she had to convince this princess of the Liao Kingdom, and at the worst she had to meet with the head of the Song army and pry open the other party's mouth.

So she led Bai Sheng and Wei Minghui back to the palace, found Yelu Nanxian and Yelu Guyu sisters, and knew that they were moved by reason.

In Yelu's mouth, Li Ruolan was even more overjoyed when she learned that the captured head of the Song army was actually Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and thus strengthened her determination to see Zhao Kai.

Because she knew that this Zhao Kai arrived in Yanzhou City with Di Lie, since Zhao Kai and Di Lie attacked Tongwan City together, then Zhao Kai must know a lot about Di Lie's attack plan!

Although Yelu Guyu has a bewitching temperament, he is a reasonable person, and after understanding the stakes, he finally agreed to let Li Ruolan meet with Zhao Kai, but put forward one condition.

That is, their sisters must go to the Liaoguo Post House with Li Ruolan, and everyone will make it clear in person, and Li Ruolan will not be allowed to interrogate Zhao Kai privately.

Li Ruolan only wanted to be able to see Zhao Kai and talk about anything else, of course, she would not argue more about this matter, and immediately agreed to Yelu's request.

So Bai Sheng, as the bodyguard of the Yelu sisters, followed the three daughters to the Liao Country Post House.
