Chapter 6: The Tide of War Deteriorates

"Stop!" Seeing that Liu Chen was about to be surrounded by hundreds of monks, a soft shout suddenly came from the distance, and the monks retreated when they heard the voice, not daring to stop at all.

Liu Chen, who was in a cold sweat, clenched the long sword in his hand tightly, and raised his eyes to look at the two figures walking from a distance, and wherever the two went, the crowd made way of a road on their own.

Both of them are middle-aged, and the person in the lead is a monk, but he is not wearing a monk's robe, but a black eight-clawed golden dragon brocade robe. The man who followed the monk's side was dressed in black soft armor, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance, and the temperament of the person who had been in the top position for a long time was not inferior to the man in the brocade robe.

Seeing the two of them, Liu Chen put away the long sword and stood there in a proper manner and did not dare to say anything, but the two brothers who had been hiding away quickly came to Liu Chen's side, and respectfully greeted with the surrounding people: "I've seen Grandpa, I've seen Dadu." ”

Liu Chen sweated in his heart, daring to love this handsome monk who didn't talk like it was the famous monk of Jin Guogong Yanming, the thick-eyed man behind him turned out to be Xue Zheng, the governor of Langyawei in Jinzhou, under the nervousness, Liu Chen also immediately bowed and saluted, such a big person, Liu Chen was still the first time to see it, and he really didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of them.

"What do you want to do when you accompany the Metropolitan Governor to inspect the camps, and you are waiting to gather here? Don't you think that the military law of the monk army is amusing you?"

There was no joy or anger in the words of the Duke of Jin, but the big monks around him were shocked, and after a while, a thin monk dressed in battalion officer armor came out of the crowd, pointed at Liu Chen with one hand and said angrily: "Grand Duke, this is scolding us for being a thief and a bald donkey!

"Poof!" The thick-eyed man beside Jin Guogong couldn't help laughing, causing Jin Guogong to look sideways, seeing that Yan Ming's face was not good-looking, the thick-eyed man deserved to hold back his smile, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Yanming, don't blame, I thought of some old things just now, so I laughed, you continue, continue." ”

"Hmph! Don't fan the flames for the poor monk!" Grandpa Guo's face was full of black lines, and the corners of his mouth pulled and snorted coldly, and turned to look at Liu Chen, his face was a little unhappy, "What he said, yes or no?"

The cultivation of this Jin Guogong is unfathomable, between words and deeds, the momentum directly pressed Liu Chen, making him miserable, for a long time, Liu Chen gritted his teeth, raised his head and changed to a very dog-legged expression and said: "Where is the grandfather, a certain is admiring the demeanor of the Buddha country, so he rushed here from Yunzhou, the ascetic brother can testify, after learning that Jinzhou is also going to be conscripted, a certain is even more bitterly begging the ascetic brother, let a certain join the team of the Buddha country, how can a person like such a pious person speak wildly?"

Liu Chen's shameless answer almost didn't make the monks around him happy, and even the two brothers who were ascetic and suffering around him looked at him dumbfounded, for his words, the Duke of Jin raised his eyebrows, as if he was smiling, and the Lord Governor with thick eyebrows and big eyes also looked at the kid in front of him with a face comparable to the city wall, you know, the Governor and the Grandpa of the Kingdom had already heard it when Liu Chen scolded the phrase "thief bald donkey". And Liu Chen was caught by the ascetic to join the Jinzhou monk army, they also knew, and this time the two of them came to see what kind of trouble this wooden battalion with only three people was going to make.

"Asceticism, is he talking or not?" Jin Guogong's face was blank, he turned his eyes to look at asceticism, and opened his mouth to ask.

Ascetic looked at Liu Chen, and under Liu Chen's constant squeezing of his eyebrows, he had no choice but to arch his hand and say: "Uncle Yu, Liu Chen and I are indeed familiar at first sight. ”

"Uncle Shi!" Liu Chen sighed in his heart, he really didn't see it, these two brothers who are ascetic and suffering, and such a big background, other monks have to shout "Grand Duke" in a proper manner, these two worst bald people are actually the nephews of the grandfather of the Jin Kingdom, what is the situation.

"Oh?" Jin Guogong glanced at the ascetic with an expressionless face, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Chen, and he commanded with a smile: "Since you admire the Buddha country so much, it is better to let this father be a witness, ascetic, bring a razor, and shave your little brother who is 'familiar at first sight', in the camp of Jinzhou, they are all 'bald donkeys', it will be better." ”

The word "bald donkey" in the mouth of the Duke of Jin Guo bit very tightly, which made the face of the governor beside him look scornful, and the two big men did not stay long, gave a few words, and left.

By the time he had lunch, Liu Chen had already turned into a bald head, and asceticism and suffering were looking at him with a smirk, which made his heart burst into flames.

"Brother Chen'er is really shameless enough, he can even reverse black and white in front of my uncle!" Ascetic poured a sip of tea, patted his swollen lower abdomen, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Now, you are also a bald donkey, what, haha." ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry, Uncle Shi wants you to shave your face for your own good. The suffering on the side was a little shy, and seeing Liu Chen's depressed expression, he had to whisper comfort: "When you get to the battlefield, you are the only one in the monk army with hair, isn't the goal too obvious, and it is not a good thing to stand out from the crowd after all." ”

"Alas. Liu Chen calmed down the depression in his heart, and asked with some puzzlement: "Since you are the nephew of the Grand Duke, why don't you want him to transfer some people to you, could it be that you are raised by your stepmother?

"Brother Chen, don't worry, Senior Brother is extremely powerful and can keep us safe. "When the two monks heard the phrase 'raised by the stepmother', they were not choked to death, the little monk's face turned red, and he rolled his eyes a little speechlessly: "Besides, the wooden battalion belongs to the uncle's pro-guard army, and the vanguard of the entire Jinzhou army is the pro-army headquarters of the uncle, and the uncle is both the commander and the vanguard, although there are only three of us in the wooden battalion now, when we get to Longmen, there will be Langya Wei and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to fill it!"

Seeing that the ascetic also nodded a little reluctantly, Liu Chen put his mind at ease, his feelings are not bad, the pro-army of the grandfather of the Jin Kingdom should not be so easy to lose his life, besides, on the battlefield, regardless of the front army and the rear army, whether he can live or not has to resign himself to fate, his martial arts are not bad, and self-protection is still no problem, after figuring out this section, his face looks a lot better.

"By the way, little monk, I just entered the city today, and I didn't get any news, over there in Longmen, how is the war?"

Hearing Liu Chen's question, the faces of the monks of all sizes were a little not good-looking, and they were silent for a moment, and it was still the little monk who sang a Buddha horn and said: "Forget to return to the lake and lose!"

"How is it possible!" Liu Chen stood up in shock, and said with a face full of disbelief: "That is the holy land of my human race, when the six ancestors were enlightened in the Forgotten Return Lake, they were enlightened by the 'Seven Swords of Cutting the Rainbow', so as to become extraordinary, what did the Xuanjia Army eat, and the holy land of the ancestors was lost?"

"More than 20 days ago, the Mobei army stormed Hangu Pass again, Wei Guogong sent a signal for help, while shrinking the strength of the army to support it, and when the Xuanjia army contracted the defense line, the seventy-two soldiers and horses of the Western Regions avoided the defense of the Chongzhou Judgment Guard, secretly crossed the valley, and took advantage of the night to surprise the Forget to return to the lake, the Forget to return to the lake camp fought for a day, and finally thousands of defenders were all martyred. ”

"Amitabha!" The two monks hung their heads and chanted the Buddha's name, leaving Liu Chen standing there in a daze, staring at the map of Kyushu on the wall in a daze.

"Didn't the state religion go to support?" Liu Chen muttered, his expression a little complicated.

"The state religion claims that Jialing Pass cannot afford to be lost, Hangu Pass, can only rely on Weizhou soldiers and horses to defend, received a request for help from Wei Guogong, I Jinzhou up and down, willing to send 30,000 troops, Yunzhou also used 30,000 soldiers and horses, to Chongzhou crossing, to Longmen. ”
