Chapter 145 Zhao Kuangyin's Fate

Sure enough, practice makes perfect, Guo Wei, a loyal old monk, can see through Zong Xin's despicable thoughts.As expected of a battle-tested veteran, Guo Wei's attainments in the art of war are not simple.Although he didn't come up with this method himself, it's not easy to understand. If Guo Wei didn't explain it, even Chai Rong wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "So, Guo Wei can ambush Li Shouzhen as long as he lays an ambush outside the fortress?"

"Wrong." Zong Dao said, "That's not the case. I just hope that Li Shouzhen will suffer a little loss. Anyway, Guo Wei is invincible, and there is no need to rush to confront Li Shouzhen. He only needs to continue to consume Li Shouzhen's patience and sanity. Li Shouzhen, even the generals in Tongguan will be hopeless. When Guo Wei launches a general attack, Li Shouzhen will undoubtedly die."

"So that's how it is." Tian Ya finally understood Zong Xin's intentions, but he couldn't imagine that a monk would be so despicable. Will he become so despicable after he recognizes this master?
Zhao Kuangyin has long been used to Zong Xin's despicableness, and has seen many more despicable tactics than this one.This time was really subtle, it really screwed Li Shouzhen to death, and even if Li Shouzhen died, he would always be grateful to Zong Xin for being kind to him.This is the most terrifying side of Zong Xin.

Zhao Kuangyin was already thinking, if one day Zong Xin betrayed him, would he be as grateful to him as Li Shouzhen after his death?Maybe he would be more grateful to him than Li Shouzhen... Zong Xin, a shameless monk, is too scary.

"You dare to scold me?"

Zhao Kuangyin was surprised and said, "Did I just say it out loud?"

"No, but I feel that you are scolding me." Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't say it, Zong Xin could feel that he was scolding himself.

"Oh~ just think I'm praising you. Anyway, there is not much difference between scolding and praising, because it is used on you."

"That's true." Zong Xin is also very easy to talk to. Although what Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart may not be good, it shouldn't be bad either.

A group of people set off from Weinan and headed southeast. The first stop was Xuzhou, Liancheng.Below Xuzhou is Tangzhou, which is the boundary between the Great Han and the Great Tang.

When they arrived a few miles to the north of Xuzhou City, when they could almost see the Xuzhou City Gate, the horses were startled suddenly, and even the wolves stared in the same direction and bared their teeth.

"What's the matter?" Zong Xin immediately stuck his head out of the carriage, because Zong Xin also had a strange feeling.It was almost dusk at this time, and I originally wanted to rush to Xuzhou to lodge before sunset, so I was traveling relatively fast today, and suddenly stopped, which made people feel a little upset.

At this time, all the wargs bared their teeth at a large building, and the horses regained their composure a little, but all the animals felt hostility towards this building.

Zong Xin took a closer look. Although this building is very tall, it doesn't look like a residence, but more like... a private residence.There was a small bamboo house next to this building, Zong Xin immediately gave Lao Yi a wink, and Lao Yi understood what the master meant, and immediately rode a wolf towards the bamboo house.

There are no big sturdy trees nearby, and bamboo is planted almost everywhere. This small bamboo house is all made of bamboo, only the roof is covered with straw. Although it is not luxurious, it looks unique.

The old one rode the giant wolf directly to the bamboo house, and then shouted: "Is there anyone in there? Get out, Lao Tzu."

"Amitabha, please speak privately. We are monks, not bandits."

"Oh~ I haven't pretended to be a monk for so long, I forgot." The old one hadn't pretended to be a monk for a long time, and he was a little bit back to his true colors.After being reminded by Zongxin, he remembered that his current identity is a monk, not a Khitan warrior fighting the autumn wind.

A very private and serious scholar came out of the bamboo house, holding a beautiful sword in his hand.This scholar's face is very fair and clean, and his age should be only 23 or 4 years old. He has red lips and white teeth, regular facial features, thick and dense eyebrows, and looks a little sad.Behind him was a young girl, much younger than him, who was also holding a beautiful sword. The two of them looked three points alike, and they might be brother and sister.

"Han Lingkun, I don't know what the master is doing?" The scholar spoke hard, as if he was arguing, maybe he was taken aback by the mounts of this group of people, so he deliberately amplified his voice to embolden himself.

Old One pointed to the strange building and asked, "What is that? Our mounts all bared their teeth at it, it must be weird."

Han Lingkun said: "It's just a tomb of the dead, nothing strange. Could it be that the masters are Zong Xin's guardians? Then the one in the carriage is Master Zong Xin?"

"It's the poor monk." Zong Xin spoke much calmer, and immediately got out of the carriage, looking at Han Lingkun, feeling a little strange.

This person seemed to be born with a loud voice, and he didn't pretend to be like this on purpose.Judging by his appearance, he is very private, how could he form such a habit?The voice is so loud, and the words are correct, it feels a bit rigid.

Han Lingkun cupped his hands and said, "Han Lingkun, the descendant of the Legalist family, I don't know that Master Zongxin is far away to welcome you, so please forgive me. We two brothers and sisters live in seclusion here, what is Master Zongxin doing?"

"It's all right, I just want to ask what's strange about that tomb. Warg warning, it's not unusual. Who is buried inside?"

Han Lingkun said: "This is the Tomb of Eight Dragons. Inside it is the curtain of Xun Shu, the Minister of Langling in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This man has eight sons, all of whom are dragons among men. They are called Eight Dragons, so this tomb is also called Eight Dragons Tomb."

Zong Xin pinched his fingers and said: "It's not right, how long has it been since Xun She passed away?"

"This year is exactly 800 years old."

"Eight Dragon Tomb, 800 years... 64, there is something strange." Zong said: "The poor monk wants to stay overnight, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Han Lingkun said: "It's not inconvenient, it's just that the house is too small to accommodate so many people."

"It's okay. Lao Yi asked them to prepare. We will camp here tonight. I want to take a look at the Eight Dragon Tombs." Zong Xin felt that something was wrong, and the warg warned that there must be something strange.Zong Xin has nothing serious to do anyway, so it would be nice to mind his own business.

"Zong Xin, there is no danger. I don't know how to catch ghosts."

Zongdao: "Superstition, how can there be ghosts in this world? We don't have to be afraid of perverts and drunkards. I think this tomb must be weird, otherwise the wolf would not bark its teeth at it. The wolf clan has a keen sense of smell, and it must smell danger. smell."

"One more thing is worse than one less... We are just passing by, you have to go to the tomb, isn't it enough to eat?" Zhao Kuangyin thinks that it is better to ignore this kind of thing, if you encounter some bandits and thieves, just take care of it. After all, bandits and thieves are also human beings, and they are all martial arts masters here, so there is nothing to be afraid of.Not only is there no danger, but you can rob bandits and bandits and make a lot of money.

However, there have been fewer and fewer bandits who robbed themselves recently, almost none.Why are these bandits not doing business?If you don't do a good job, why hide?
Zhao Kuangyin also understands that the bandits must have someone watching over them, not to mention that the people watching the wind know that there is a master Zongxin in the world, even if they don't know Zongxin's name, they will give up the idea of ​​robbery just by looking at these giant wolf mounts.People who can afford so many giant wolf mounts, how dare they rob them?
Zong Xin suddenly smiled and said: "Everything is God's will. God made us come here to discover this matter. Do you dare to act against the sky? You can rest assured that there is absolutely no danger."

"How dare you be so sure?"

Zong Xin smiled and said: "Because you are not short-lived, so it is not yet time for you to die. Your martial arts are not as high as mine. If you are not in danger, of course I will not be in danger if I follow you. Otherwise, I dare not So bold?"

A large group of people looked at Zong Xin in surprise. This shameless monk actually said such words.Now I finally understand why Zong Xin keeps Zhao Kuangyin with him all the time, because Zhao Kuangyin's life is hard, Zong Xin always takes him with him in everything, as long as Zhao Kuangyin is around, this matter is absolutely safe.

This approach was so shameless that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to rush up and beat him up.

According to legend, people who look at faces cannot see their own faces, so Zong Xin doesn't know when he will die.If he is accompanied by a very long-lived person, of course he will dare to do anything, and this long-lived person's martial arts are worse than his own, he will not be in danger, and of course he will not be in danger.

Dugu Xingyue admired: "So that's it. I finally figured it out. I've always been curious about why my husband takes Zhao Kuangyin everywhere. It turns out it's because of his fate."

Yaoyao nodded and said: "It turns out that Zhao Kuangyin's function is a talisman. I always thought that Zong Xin wanted to make him emperor. It seems that I was overthinking."

"Master, a person can't be so shameless. As a teacher, you actually did such a thing... Remember to teach me, I will also find a long-lived person as a talisman."

Lao Yi sighed: "Master, even though you are our master, I still have to say... this method is too shameless."

The second child patted Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm curious that you can endure this shameless monk."

"I can't help it, I'm used to it." Zhao Kuangyin smiled lightly, finally knowing his usefulness.But it's okay, I'm not afraid of being used, I'm afraid that you are useless.Although this usage is a bit embarrassing, since Zong Xin said that he has a long life, it is a good thing.

Zhao Kuangyin would rather think, anyway, Zong Xin is so shameless, and everyone is used to it.Although it's a bit sad, I can also find some good things from it, at least I have a long life.

The Eighteen Youyun Horsemen immediately prepared their own tents and lived outside the Great Wall all year round. Setting up camp was their most basic ability.The largest and most luxurious tent belongs to Zong Xin and the two hostesses. The others all live in the same tent in pairs, and Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya live in a group.

Some people prepared tents, some rode away directly on the wolf, because there were no big prey very close to the city, so Zong Xin asked them to go directly to the city to buy.There are also some people preparing firewood and other useful things. This group of people is very professional, and Zong Xin doesn't have to worry about anything at all.
