Chapter 226: So the Poor Monk Came
There may be a little fear in it, but more curiosity and admiration.
It is not an easy thing to get out of the customs, the pass is very narrow, and without Wu Kedi's warrant, even if you just get close, you may lose your life.
And the monk in front of him, who claimed to be the envoy of King Yan, was able to get out of the customs overnight, and he was really capable.
Hu Che'er had a faint premonition in his heart, maybe this monk was the Liu Bingzhong he had been looking for.
The charcoal fire in the huge copper basin was flourishing, the golden tent was warm, and the cold outside did not invade in the slightest. Hu Che'er and Dao Yan sat down on a small stool around the brazier, and neither of them spoke first.
In a moment, a female slave from an unknown small country in the Western Regions came in with a small pot of mutton bone soup, skillfully hung above the brazier, kowtowed, and carefully retreated.
"It seems to be a female slave girl of Qiuzi.,It's been a while since I bought it.,If the master takes a fancy to it... Hu Che'er looked at Dao Yan on the other side and followed the female slave, and said with some doubts, this monk in the Central Plains also likes women?
"Huh. Dao Yan retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly: "The Central Plains Buddhism, there is a Joy Zen, which pays attention to comprehending the Great Dao of Silence from the bliss of men and women. Although the poor monk is also a member of the Shamen, his cultivation is not joyful Zen. ”
After a pause, Dao Yan said again: "Yiye knows autumn." The women of the Western Regions also practice the Han family etiquette under the hands of the patriarch, and there is no frivolity in one line, it seems that the patriarch has admiration for my Han family in his heart, which can be seen... Ambition is not small. ”
"Uh... Hu Che'er was slightly stunned, then smiled heartily again, and covered up: "The rules of the Han family, the respect of the upper and lower levels, are indeed unique. But if ambition ... That's not there. Master, taste this soup, look at the color, it tastes good. ”
I picked up the wooden spoon in the pot, scooped it to a full, put it to my mouth and blew it slightly, and then drank it in one gulp.
"For those who are monks, it is a precept not to eat meat. The patriarch enjoyed himself. Dao Yan's eyes were a little playful, he had already seen that this Hu Che'er's rude behavior was just pretending.
Fluent Chinese, crepe words, and questioning his attention to female slaves, how could he make such words and deeds now, and invite him to eat meat as a monk?
"Hu Che'er was rude, and I ask the master to forgive me. Hu Che'er patted his head, and his big hand wiped a few times on the beard under his chin, and the juice splashed everywhere.
"It doesn't matter. Dao Yan smiled slightly, and did not debunk it.
"Master, tonight. ”
"Let's talk about it as a poor monk. Dao Yan suddenly raised his hand, interrupted Hu Che'er's words, and said with a smile: "The poor monk is indeed a staff member under the command of the prince of Beiping Yan, which the poor monk can't prove, and he doesn't need to prove. Because the poor monk came here, he did not get the prince's order, and he came to the patriarch here, which was a momentary fate, and had nothing to do with Beiping or the prince.
The patriarch came from Ganzhou City, and he believed that the patriarch had heard of the filthy things in the city today, and this was the reason for the poor monk's trip. ”
When Hu Che'er heard this, he pondered the words and hesitated: "The master is looking for me with those in the city... Is it related to the people in the East Factory?"
Hu Che'er wanted to talk about the group of eunuchs, but considering that Dao Yan's attitude was unclear, he was more polite.
"It's related to the eunuchs. Dao Yan looked at Hu Che'er with a smile: "A pool of stagnant water, lifeless, calm, just represents stability." The benefits have been distributed, and everyone, more or less, always has a bite to eat.
But when Dongchang came, the patriarch should see that they were not passers-by, and they would not leave when they came. When eunuchs are such things, the desire of the body is extinguished, and the thirst for wealth and power will reach the extreme. ”
Speaking of this, Dao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to the soup pot in front of him, and said: "A pot of soup, of course, it is best for the patriarch to drink alone, bones, meat, and soup, you can eat it if you want to, and you can drink it if you want to." But it is difficult to prevent others from coveting it. And five people drank ... It's not bad, although it's a little less, but it's safe, everyone is gathered together by this pot of flesh and bones, which is the long-term way. But now that the group of eunuchs is here, they have picked up the pot and want to eat alone, and the patriarch is willing to obey?"
"No. Hu Che'er's answer was categorical, without a trace of hesitation.
"Don't want to? The couple is going to lift the pot and remake it with the flesh and bones of every diner. How will the patriarch deal with it?" Dao Yan's gaze was unusual, and he looked directly at Hu Che'er's big copper bell eyes: "The patriarch also asks the poor monk to answer this question seriously, maybe his life will fall here." ”
A pun on the implication of coercion. Hu Che'er's pupils shrank, but he didn't turn his face immediately. The pros and cons are weighed against each other.
The brilliance is fleeting.
The sharp gaze was still the same, Hu Che'er's breath gradually became heavier, as if he was hesitating, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say a word. Dao Yan didn't urge, just waited, some words must be said by himself, which is true.
"Smack!" There was a bang, and a piece of charcoal in the brazier exploded for no reason, and the murderous atmosphere in the tent gradually diffused.
"The master said, before I left the city today, I heard someone talk about it once. The words are slightly different, but the general idea is the same, they all want me to lead the people to fight against Dongchang and make enemies of the imperial court. . . ”
"Is it Qi Guozhong?" Dao Yan looked like he had already expected: "Being an enemy of Dongchang does not mean that being an enemy of the imperial court, this point needs to be distinguished by the patriarch." ”
"Almost. Hu Che'er shook his head, and then said: "Qi Guozhong died a son, it has nothing to do with me, hundreds of thousands of people died in Ganzhou City, anyway, it's not my clansmen, I don't care, but the eunuchs want to rob me of my job, bad my life, for the sake of the clan's livelihood, I also have to fight with them."
I don't know much about martial arts or anything, but I know that I have 30,000 sons under my command, and I will shoot the eagle with a bow and a bow, even if I exchange ten for one, we will also stand in the end. ”
"You don't have 30,000 men under your command. Dao Yan raised his left index finger and shook it in front of Hu Che'er's eyes, without any contempt, just a simple denial, stated a fact, and pointed in the direction of Ganzhou: "Even if you really have 30,000 people, the bow puller on the horse is still different from the trap camp who climbs the wall, you can't enter Longmen Pass, let alone enter Ganzhou City." ”
"We'll get into Longmen Pass, but we don't need to get into Ganzhou City. Hu Che'er smiled again, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc, and such a weird smile appeared on his rough face...
"Someone will open the gate for us. As long as we appear under the city of Ganzhou, there will be others to do the rest of the things. ”
"That's what you think. Dao Yan stood up, condescending, and his plain and silent expression was like that of a Buddha: "You are useful to the prince, so the poor monk came to save your life." ”
