Chapter 165 Eating Too Much
"Amitabha, you are so kind. Benefactor Li is really proud of the spring breeze. The poor monk has a glimpse of the secret, so please don't be surprised." Zong Xin suddenly stood at the door, followed by Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue.

Li Yu was really taken aback. He was thinking about how to kill Zhao Kuangyin and Zong Xin when one of them suddenly came to him.However, Li Yu's psychological quality is very good, and he calmed down soon.

"It turns out that Master Zong Xin deserves to be an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. He even conceived this marriage before we met each other. I have to thank Master Zong Xin for forcing me back "Although Li Yu wanted to kill Zong Xin, he really admired Zong Xin's ability.If possible, he also hopes to kill Zhao Kuangyin without Zong Xin's knowledge, and then continue to build a good relationship with Zong Xin, so that he can logically assist him in unifying the world.

Who hasn't dreamed of unifying the world?Li Yu is no exception.But now his chances of becoming the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are very slim, let alone unifying the world.

Zong Xin said ashamedly: "It's a sin, a poor monk's fate is not over yet, I'm a flower monk, so I can't be considered a high-spirited monk. It's just that I can understand some secrets. The marriage is destined, and the poor monk didn't do anything, so there is no need to say thank you. "

"By the way, Master Zongxin, your upper couplet...do you have a second couplet? The painting of a lotus flower and a monk...I'm not very talented, I haven't had a decent second couplet after thinking about it for so long."

Zong Xin smiled and said: "Hahahaha, it's hard, that's right. Because the poor monk doesn't have a second line..."

Li Yu was so angry that he almost turned his back on Zong Xin. The upper couplet that this shameless monk made himself did not have a second couplet.Isn't this deliberately intriguing?Li Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and thought about things for the better.Although Zong Xin didn't have a second couplet, it is already very powerful to be able to write this first couplet.

Perhaps Zong Xin had just thought of the first couplet at the time, and there was no suitable second couplet after writing it, so he forgot about it later.Other scholars might not be so careless, but Zong Xin can definitely do it.It is not surprising that Zongxin has done anything to Li Yu now, this monk cannot be deduced by common sense at all.

Li Yu said: "Master Zongxin really likes to joke... Dare I ask if Master Zongxin went to Jinling just to marry Dugu Xingyue? I heard that you have held a wedding banquet in Weinan, and now the whole world knows that Master Zongxin married Dugu Xingyue is my concubine, so why go to the Dugu Clan again?"

Li Yu is more mindful than ordinary people. Although this matter is not surprising in the eyes of many people, Li Yu knows that there is a problem when he thinks about it carefully.Why did Zong Xin, a shameless monk, travel all the way to Jinling?In fact, a wedding banquet has already been held in Weinan. Even if there is no wedding banquet, the whole world will know about Zong Xin and Dugu Xingyue, so there is no need to do anything else.

Zong Xin clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha~Li Benefactor, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Let's listen to the fake first."

"The head of the Dugu Clan is now the poor monk's father-in-law, but due to his status, Dugu Huang was unable to attend the wedding banquet held in Weinan last time, so I will go to Jinling to do it again, otherwise I will be disrespectful to my father-in-law." Zong Xin smiled. Said: "Besides, since ancient times, the wedding banquet has been divided into the mother's family and the husband's family. Unless relatives from both sides can be invited to the same place at the same time, the wedding banquet can only be divided into two, which is not surprising."

Li Yu nodded, then asked, "What about the truth?"

"Benefactor Li doesn't know something. A wedding only needs a little manpower and material resources, and the consumption is not high. But the gifts from the guests are real money, and the poor monk made a lot of money by holding a wedding banquet in Weinan. But that time Only the officials of the big Han and people from the martial arts are invited. So I deliberately went to the Dugu Clan to hold another one. Those officials and people from the martial arts who came to Zongxin’s wedding will definitely bring a lot of money as gifts. Only these two wedding banquets will be held. This life is enough for a poor monk."

Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue kept nodding their heads, Zong Xin was right.Why not make money?Zongxin's business is really good. Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue are even thinking that if they don't have any money in the future, let Zongxin marry another wife and hold another wedding banquet. Windfall.

Li Yu could hardly believe his ears. Is this what a Taoist monk said?He actually treats marriage as a business?Fortunately, he is a monk. If he is an official, he must be a corrupt official, and a big corrupt official at that.

"Master Zongxin... As a monk, why do you want so much money?" Li Yu asked curiously: "The last time the master asked me for a thousand taels of gold, I felt strange. It stands to reason that the monks should have six quiet, four are empty... "

"Emptyness is form, and form is emptiness. What's more, if I don't get a little more money, who will support so many men? You also saw those eighteen big guys. Do you know how much they eat a day?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "Oh~ yes. Those wolves do eat a lot."

"I didn't mention the wolf. I said that my eighteen subordinates, Youyun and Eighteen Cavalry, are counted separately." Zong Xin said regretfully, "You don't know, it's not difficult to feed eighteen wolves. Eat more than a dozen taels of silver. My Youyun Shibaqi not only eats and drinks, but also spends sometimes... If it weren’t for the fact that they are useful, I would have driven away these foodies. Following a Zhao Kuangyin, you know how stingy the people of the Zhao Clan are. Occasionally, he will share the bill with me when he robs a bandit. The sad thing is that there have been no bandits robbing me recently. Maybe it’s because I’m scared to see these wolves. "

This point has always been a pain in Zong's heart. It would be a good thing if he could meet bandits who robbed him. He could rob the bandit's den, burn down the bandit's stronghold, take money and rob people. How happy is such a life ?Maybe it's because his reputation is too loud. The whole world knows about Master Zong Xin and his Eighteen Youyun Riders, and everyone's mount is a giant wolf.

No matter where they go now, the bandits don't even have time to hide when they see these giant wolves, and they don't dare to rob themselves at all.Not to mention these 18 vicious monks, the eighteen wolves alone are very difficult to deal with.Which bandit den is so short-sighted to come and rob him?
Zong Xin is considering taking the initiative to attack. When he goes to a place, he first asks where there are bandits and robbers, and then rushes in and robs the bandit den.But... Zong Xin also considered his identity. After all, he was Lei Hong's third son. Although this matter has not been made public, it might be embarrassing to meet those subordinates if it is made public in the future.

Zong Xin's pain didn't stop there, Youyun Shibaqi even ate people and wolves.These wolves seemed to never have enough to eat, and this group of monks seemed to be hungry ghosts who had never eaten.Although they are people who practice martial arts, they can eat too much, and they also need to drink, drink good wine...

Wargs like to eat beef. Beef costs twenty cents a catty. A wolf eats tens of catties of beef for a meal. The daily consumption is only a few taels of silver.One person and one wolf need at least three or five taels of silver to feed them.Including other people, the daily consumption is nearly a hundred taels of silver. How can such a consumer Zongxin not be greedy for money?

Fortunately, the eighteen worgs in the wild knew to go out to find something to eat, otherwise Zong Xin's little money would have been eaten up by them.This is why Zong Xin doesn't like to come to the city, the consumption is too expensive.

Li Yu nodded regretfully and said: "What you said makes sense, those wolves are quite edible, and they want to eat meat."

"That is to say~ how much money is not enough for them to eat. Although the poor monk is not a greedy person, he must find a way to feed these wolf cubs." Zong said: "You are the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult Imagine what kind of life ordinary people like us who have no money and power live. This time selling paintings on Changjie, the third prince should realize a lot of life principles. It is a good thing to think about it carefully. The sufferings of the people are very helpful to the Tang Dynasty. You should know that the world is the most delicious, a bowl of peace and happiness.

Li Yu nodded in surprise. He really didn't know what to say to Zong Xin.This monk is very changeable. Sometimes he looks like this and sometimes he looks like another.Just now he seemed like a little scoundrel, but suddenly he was able to say words that touched the deepest part of his soul.

The best taste in the world, a bowl of Anle tea and rice.This is also the truth that Li Yu realized during the months of injury, but only after realizing this truth, there is no way to express it.Zong Xin articulated his hard-working comprehension clearly in just a few words, he deserves to be an eminent monk.

Li Yu sighed: "The master's words are justified. What the people really want is a bowl of tea and rice, and there is nothing else. Soldiers are also ordinary people. They kill the enemy in order to eat and let these soldiers waste their lives in vain. What a sin."

"The third prince has a kind heart, and he will definitely be a good emperor in the future." Zong Dao said, "But it will be more than ten years later, so you don't have to worry too much. Everything depends on the will of heaven. Even if the poor monk can interpret the secrets of heaven , but God’s will is like the sky above our heads, it’s cloudy and sunny, windy and rainy, and there’s no final conclusion.”

Li Yu asked: "What is the meaning of this, master? Could it be that you said that I can be the emperor...it may not be true?"

"Why is the third prince confused? For example, the poor monk calculated that he has 80 years of life, and now I am 17 years old. I suddenly wiped my neck with a knife. It is different. I can only live to be 17 years old? Although I often talk about human affairs and God's will, in fact, what really depends Still human."

Li Yu seems to understand, but he feels that what Zong Xin said is very reasonable, and he should remember it well.No one in the world knows what will happen tomorrow, even if Zong Xin can figure it out, he is not sure, he is just calculating.Thinking about it, there is not one kind of God's will. It depends on people like a choice. God's will will only smile at the person who works hard.

"Thank you Master for your guidance."
