The wedding dress wraps the sword, Bo Jun smiles

When the army was assembled, he was as arrogant as Ye Xingguan, and he did not act rashly at such a time.

And as time passed, more and more troops gathered in Dading Mansion, Ye Xingguan wanted to escape, so at this time, he could only suppress his thoughts and stay calm.

But he wasn't just sitting there.Relying on the news from the National Teacher's Mansion, he knew a lot about the Jurchen army, including the troops, generals, and tribes that appeared in Dading Mansion this time.

The situation at this time is more serious than last time - in Shanhaiguan, both General Bai and Shi Hanqing have been recalled to Beijing, and it is not known whether they have returned at this time, and among the remaining guards, although the deputy general Pang Yong is the leader, But Pang Yong himself is just a fierce general, but he has no experience in leading the army alone.

Ye Xingguan could only put aside what was on his mind for a while, considering that after the Jurchens sent troops, he would go out of the city and go back to Shanhaiguan in the chaos, to understand the situation of the battle and see what he could do.

It took about half a month for the Dading Mansion to assemble its troops. For the Jurchens, this can be said to be a very fast speed-the Jurchens are based on tribes, and their power is very loose. With Yan Kyung's strong relationship, the tribes are quite obedient.But even so, it cannot be compared with Cheng Dynasty's army.

After the army is assembled, it is almost time to go out.

The day before the expedition, Yuntai came to see Ye Xingguan.

He didn't hide it: "I will go out with the army tomorrow, and this time to attack Shanhaiguan, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will take a lot of time. I am afraid that when I come back, the young master will not be here."

This is actually a clear thing - but Ye Xingguan didn't open his mouth to ridicule, but listened to him in silence.

Yuntai stretched out his hand and threw something, Ye Xingguan caught it.

"This is the antidote. After I leave, Dading Mansion's military strength will be much weaker for a while. With the young master's ability, it should not be difficult to leave here."

Ye Xingguan was rather surprised: "...Why did you give me the antidote?"

Yuntai said: "Perhaps I want to know what the young master will do after returning to the pass."

Since he said that, Ye Xingguan didn't ask any more questions, but just put away the antidote, but didn't take it right away.Yuntai knew that he was wary of him, but there was nothing wrong with him, he just smiled, then turned around and was about to leave.

But before he left, Ye Xingguan said suddenly: "Master, please stay."

Yuntai stopped in his tracks.

Ye Xingguan said: "I thought the national teacher was a Jurchen?"

Yuntai turned his head and said to each other: "I was born in Tibet, and I am of mixed Mongolian and Han blood."

Only then did Ye Xingguan show some surprise.

Yuntai said: "I know what the young master wants to say." He said, "I can reply to the young master-since I am hired as a Jurchen national teacher, it is just a matter of trust and loyalty, but even so, it does not represent my I became a golden man. It was only because of my pious heart towards the Buddha that I got the blessing of my Buddha... Do you understand, my lord?"

These words had twists and turns, but Ye Xingguan understood.Yuntai was implying that he could win him over in the name of the court...and the forces behind him.

Although Ye Xingguan didn't understand whether the power behind the other party was just a Buddhist power in Tibet, or a certain Mongolian and Han tribe, at least he understood one thing.

I don't know if it's out of sincerity, but this monk is even more irrelevant than he expected.

As a Buddhist, but this living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism is not as pious and respectable as a Buddhist. He wrote two words clearly and plainly in his smile-the right is power, and the left is benefit.

Ye Xingguan couldn't help but weigh in his heart... If the imperial court wants to buy this Buddhist influence in Tibet, what price will it have to pay.

He asked: "What kind of person does the national teacher think can be called pious?"

Yuntai said: "Naturally, he is a person who is dedicated to Buddha and wants to spread the scriptures to the world."

Ye Xingguan stopped talking immediately.

Yuntai's ambition is really too big.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yuntai said again: "However, as long as you have a heart for the Buddha, the Buddha will know whether you are devout or not, but you don't have to be too rigid about things."

——Cheng Chao’s family has a big business, and the specific conditions can be discussed.

Ye Xingguan understood again.

This monk looks dignified, but the words he speaks are so profit-oriented-it is impossible to look directly at him.

Yuntai thought he had taken a few steps back, but unfortunately for Ye Xingguan, the points required by the other party were already too high for him to make a decision easily, so in the end he just said: "If there is a chance, the national teacher means, I'll deliver."

After Yuntai left, Ye Xingguan did not leave the National Teacher's Mansion immediately.

He managed to get the maid to find some materials, disguised himself a bit, and after dressing up as a Jurchen, he left the National Teacher's Mansion.

The day Ye Xingguan left was the day when the Jurchen army from Dading Mansion set off.The Jurchen army was far less organized than the Han army that Ye Xingguan had seen in the past, but because it was composed of tribes, it would be more difficult for Ye Xingguan to blend in without attracting attention.

So he didn't do that.

There are many cavalry among the Jin people, although the gathering time is not fast, but the marching is very fast. When the horses are galloping together, the momentum is simply mighty, and it is completely unmatched by personal strength.

Ye Xingguan tried his best to avoid the main force of the team, but dropped far behind the team and followed towards Shanhaiguan.

However, when You Jianqing arrived at Dading Mansion, he wanted to find Ye Xingguan's whereabouts, but unexpectedly happened to meet the Jurchen gathering troops.Since the Jurchen army began to gather in Dading Mansion, the defenders of Dading Mansion began to intercept passing caravans and pedestrians entering and leaving the city, and the whole city began to be on high alert, and pedestrians suspected of being Han Chinese were not allowed to enter and leave Dading Mansion.

Under such circumstances, You Jianqing found himself trapped in Dading Mansion after entering it.He was still inquiring about Ye Xingguan's news at the beginning, and finally found out Ye Xingguan's whereabouts. He knew that he might have been arrested into the National Teacher's Mansion, but he tried to sneak into the National Teacher's Mansion several times to search, but the results were not very smooth.

After finally waiting for the number of defenders in the city to decrease gradually, You Jianqing finally found an opportunity to infiltrate the National Teacher's Mansion, but unexpectedly grabbed the servants in the National Teacher's Mansion and asked him for questioning, but what he heard was It was the news that Ye Xingguan had left.

He had no choice but to turn around immediately and go out of the city to follow Ye Xingguan's whereabouts.

You Jianqing rode fast all the way, and soon slowly approached the Jurchen army.Along the way, he paid great attention to the pedestrians and landscape around him, his eyes kept passing over every figure that seemed to have been similar before, and finally after running for a long time, he suddenly locked on a figure among the pedestrians, carriages and horses.

Almost without hesitation.

You Jianqing drove the horse to chase after him, and when he was approaching, the man seemed to feel the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, but suddenly turned his head and met You Jianqing's eyes.

A strange face.

You Jianqing could hardly believe that he had identified the wrong person.

Until Ye Xingguan opened his mouth and shouted: "Jianqing——!?"

The voice is familiar.

You Jianqing breathed a sigh of relief, then he jumped off the horse suddenly, turned over and sat behind Ye Xingguan, before Ye Xingguan could react, he hugged him suddenly, and buried his head on Ye Xingguan's neck in.

Ye Xingguan was shocked.

You Jianqing gritted her teeth and said, "If you weren't trapped, why haven't you heard from me for so long? Don't tell me you forgot that I was thrown in Shanhaiguan by you."

Ye Xingguan said: "I am indeed trapped, I just got out of it."

He said this with a guilty conscience—in fact, he already had the ability to escape more than half a month ago.

Then he asked You Jianqing: "How did you recognize me?"

You Jianqing raised his head: "Don't you know?" He smiled, "Before, even if you were mixed with a bunch of senior brothers, wearing the same clothes and the same headgear, I could recognize you at a glance just from your back Come."

Ye Xingguan thought about it carefully, but said: "If you say that, I seem to be able to recognize you... But I always think it's because your standing and sitting postures are different from ordinary people."

You Jianqing said: "There is no difference. In other words, everyone behaves differently, but I may not be able to recognize many people."

Ye Xingguan understood what he meant—it took a lot of time and thought to recognize a person just by his behavior, and it is impossible for a person to spend so much thought on many people, so in a person's life, there is also a lot of time and effort. There cannot be many such objects.

The two hugged for a while, almost drawing the attention of passers-by on the main road, but soon Ye Xingguan broke free from You Jianqing's arm and said, "Let's get on the road first."

You Jianqing nodded, and returned to his horse, and then the two of them rode their horses and followed the Jurchen army far away, heading towards Shanhaiguan.

The distance they followed was not close, but the sound of galloping horses could still clearly guide the direction of progress without any effort.

The marching speed of the Jurchen army is much faster than that of the Han army. They have more cavalry and almost no infantry, so the marching speed is very advantageous.But even so, they still have ordnance and food, so they are slower than real light cavalry, and the two can still easily drop behind.

Along the way, Ye Xingguan also told You Jianqing about the itinerary of the past few days, the portraits and letters of the National Teacher's Office, as well as the legend about Ye Changning's life experience and the so-called Suyue National Teacher.

You Jianqing frowned when he heard this, and asked Ye Xingguan after a long while, "Do you believe in the legend of the gods and Taoists?"

Ye Xingguan shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. Let's not talk about past and future lives. If Master Suyue could predict the future hundreds of years later, how could he have fallen into the hands of the Jurchen?"

You Jianqing nodded and said, "I don't believe it either. It's just that you said that the person in the portrait is somewhat similar to you..."

But Ye Xingguan didn't shy away from it, he immediately unpacked his luggage and took out the portrait to show You Jianqing.

You Jianqing took it over and looked at it carefully for a while, but said: "It's really only somewhat similar."

From You Jianqing's point of view, although the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the portrait are somewhat similar to Ye Xingguan, at least the facial features are still consistent, but other than that, the person in the painting is completely different from Ye Xingguan.

How could Ye Xingguan be so ugly?
