Tang's dining table

There are sixteen generals in Yunchu's family, four in Wenwen's family, and only two in Di Renjie's family.

Now, they all took off their armors and put them away, put on ordinary clothes, and escorted the Yun's motorcade all the way west.

Also accompanying them were the huge caravans brought by the Yun family, the Wen family, and the Di family.

The convoy stretched for two miles.

Nowadays, the only person who is qualified to wear armor is Yunchu. Even if he is no longer the Duke of Lantian and no longer a guard in Chang'an, he is still the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

Titles can be taken, official posts can be removed, but only meritorious deeds will stay with you until death.

The guards in the caravans of the three families are basically members of the three of them, and they are also basically retired soldiers from Chang'an.

Yun Chu believed that with these three hundred people, he could run unimpeded in the Tang Dynasty.

When Yunchu left the first defense circle fifteen miles away from Mount Tai, he met Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui came with wine.

Although he didn't know how he knew about his departure, the scene was quite peaceful.

Yun Chu blocked the jug handed over by Xue Rengui and said, "I won't drink any more wine. Yun Chu is very grateful that Brother Xue can make way for Yun Chu to go home."

Xue Rengui took back the jug and said, "Why is this so?"

Yun Chu said: "If you don't leave, you may have to wait on the nobles to go to the toilet in the future. I have a light appetite and can't do this job."

Xue Rengui said: "Who dares?"

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xue thinks too highly of himself. Even if the Duke Ying wants to ask for temporary peace, he can't get it, let alone you and me."

Xue Rengui looked at Yun Chu's dark eyes and said, "Who hit him?"

Yun Chu said indifferently: "Su Dingfang."

Xue Rengui added: "If it is a martial arts competition, this is not considered humiliating. At least, when the three of us fought to the death, the injuries were more serious than this."

Yun Chu pointed at Wu Qing's eyes and said, "Of course this is not a humiliation. To be precise, this should be regarded as a wake-up call."

Xue Rengui frowned and said, "Then, who humiliated you? Tell me so that I can be prepared."

Yun Chu didn't hide anything, and said directly: "When Mount Tai is beheaded, many people can't figure it out, so they jump off a cliff and die. Some women also express their ambitions by dying. The queen also throws away the younger women of the women who jumped off the cliff and fell to death." He fell off the cliff, and then asked me why I didn’t save him!”

Xue Rengui stood up and said, "Well, you should leave quickly. I heard that there are already messengers chasing you from behind."

Yun Chu looked at the fork in the road ahead and said, "Where is the easier way to go?"

Xue Rengui said playfully: "It depends on whether you are going to Yanzhou, Qufu, or going straight to Chang'an."

Yun Chu said: "Go straight to Chang'an!"

Xue Rengui said: "There is a temple five miles ahead on the left called Guangfu Temple. You can go there to live temporarily for a while, and then slowly return to Chang'an. Believe me, this will be much faster than if you rush back to Chang'an. .”

Yunchu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Xuanzang."

Xue Rengui chuckled and said, "You shouldn't need to thank Master Xuanzang."

Yun Chu nodded. He also felt that it was not necessary, so he led his team to the wooded path on the left. When Yun Chu's team disappeared on the road on the left, Xue Rengui stood up and said to the accompanying soldiers: "Set up camp and settle down. "

Deputy General Cheng Wuting glanced at the soldiers who were busy and said to Xue Rengui: "I didn't expect that among the three of you, the first one to die was Yun Chu, whom I was most optimistic about."

Xue Rengui said: "Death? If I were not involved in military affairs, I would also like to resign at this time."

Cheng Wuting asked: "What is the reason that makes the general want to retire?"

Xue Rengui said: "After twenty years of smooth sailing, is there anything you are not satisfied with?"

Cheng Wuting said: "Your Majesty treats the heroes like this, aren't you afraid that when the war breaks out one day, there will be no famous generals available?"

Xue Rengui raised his head and glanced at the several messengers who were speeding towards him, waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty may know, but others don't. Okay, don't mention this matter again."

Yun Chu rode at the front, mainly because there were too many tigers in Mount Tai. They were very annoying and they would come out and roar in broad daylight. There was nothing he could do, so Yun Chu, who was wearing armor, rode on the horse with a javelin. Be at the front.

Compared with the previous Yun Chu, the current Yun Chu is a real tough man. Even if he encounters a tiger, he feels that he is definitely capable of fighting, especially when he is wearing armor and holding a javelin and kills several tigers. Tigers are nothing.

In just a few miles, I didn't encounter a tiger, but I almost killed Li Chengxiu who jumped out of the woods.

"Have you not been following Mr. Ying? Why did you come here?"

Yun Chu asked a little strangely as he held back the short spear that was about to be released.

Li Chengxiu said: "Aye listened to the official report from the Ministry of Rites to His Majesty that the master was gone, so he kicked me out too. I followed the envoy halfway and met General Xue. He gave us a mistake and the envoy continued to chase. , I felt something was wrong, so I followed the traces you left behind, Master, and chased me here."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I have resigned from my position, so what future do you have with me?"

Li Chengxiu said: "Actually, I don't want to be an official either."

Yun Chu looked at Li Chengxiu and said, "You are responsible for the prosperity of the Li family. If you don't become an official, your prosperity will be useless."

Li Chengxiu said: "Your Majesty made my second brother the Marquis of Lihu in Mount Tai, and made me the Marquis of Yaochuan. My nephew Jingyou was named Pingchang Bo, and my nephew Jingye was my son Jiangbo. Anyway, the whole family of the Li family is not the Duke of the country." , that is, the prince of the country, and two earls.

It doesn't matter if they are here or not with me. "

Wen Wen, who came closer, looked at Li Chengxiu and said: "The top title of a British duke has been broken down by your majesty into two so-called marquises and two useless earls. Your majesty is really ruthless. Poor British duke." After a lifetime of hard work, you will get this ending.”

Yun Chu asked again: "Didn't that old thief Cheng Yaojin jump off the cliff?"

Li Chengxiu said: "No, the ones who jumped off the cliff were Xue Changsheng, Duke of Huayang County, Xu Jin, Duke of Leiyang County, Liang Cheng, Marquis of Guzang, Huang Daru, Marquis of Linyang, and the other four, whom I, Aye, don't know. They are even worse. , I was fucked by His Majesty and I didn’t say anything, and I haven’t made any compensation yet.”

Wen Wen thought for a while and said to Yun Chu: "It's not surprising that Xue Changsheng's title was thrown away. His ancestors Xue Ju and Aye Xue Rengao were mortal enemies of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Taizong was seriously ill. Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan were killed miserably by their father and son. Fifty-six out of ten soldiers died. Generals Murong Luohu, Li Anyuan, Liu Hongji and others were later killed by Taizong. He was young at the time. , I only got this title after surrendering, and now I am deprived of it. I am very conscientious. Why should I die?

The same is true for several others, most of whom were queens who rebelled against the king in the past, and it's time to clean up. "

Yun Chu nodded and said to Li Chengxiu: "In that case, just follow me, the white-bodied master."

Li Chengxiu hesitated and said, "The prince's sacrificial ceremony has not ended yet and he cannot come. When I was leaving, he held me and asked me to tell the master something."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

Li Chengxiu said: "The prince said he would be here shortly."

Wen Wen curled her lips and said, "Find us first and then talk."

The mountain road is winding and difficult to walk, but the mountain road here is enough for carriages to pass. Although the road is undulating, it is well maintained. Even if it has just rained, there is no water on the road.

After turning around a pine forest, Yunchu saw a magnificent temple. From a distance, he saw the three characters "Guangfu Temple" written on the mountain gate.

Yunchu glanced at the handwriting and found that these three characters were written by Xuanzang.

When the convoy arrived at the mountain gate, a monk in green opened the temple door without asking any questions. He just invited Yunchu and his party to enter the temple. The carriage drove into the temple. After a while, silence returned to the outside of the temple. The sounds of birds and the cries of apes reappeared. The team of monks left the temple with their brooms and began to clean up the traces left by Yunchu and his group when they came.

Master Guiji, who was wearing a red cassock, was waiting for Hou Yunchu outside the Buddhist hall with a smile. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said: "Stay quietly for a while, and don't be disturbed by the mortal world."

Yunchu said, "What are you doing here if you're not at Da Ci'en Temple?"

Master Qiuji smiled and said: "The big family moved to Chang'an, leaving a lot of money that was difficult to deal with. They used to have a deep connection with the Xiangji Kitchen of Daci'en Temple. I am merciful. Naturally, I can't watch it at this time. They are in dire straits and are ignoring them.”

Yunchu said in surprise: "Is this the wealth center of Shandong?"

Master Guiji smiled and said, "This is also the reason why everyone believes in me, the Buddha."

Wen Wen heard the words and whispered: "How does it compare to Xiaomen Temple in Liaodong?"

Master Qiuji smiled and said: "It's not comparable, it's not comparable..."

Yun Chu looked around and found that the monks here were all tall and strong. They walked like a tiger and they had long arms and legs. Their necks exposed outside the monk's robes were as thick as trees.

Master Qiuji said: "Don't think about it. You can't steal the wealth here. There are twelve crossbows here, and the treasure cave is full of mechanisms. If even these can't stop you, they will detonate it." Gunpowder will blow up the mountain, but you still won't be able to take it away.

If you hadn't been close to Master Xuanzang, you would have been eaten by a tiger just when you set foot on that path. "

"What does it mean that Xue Rengui knows what's going on here?"

"Maybe it's because I was inspired by Buddhism..."

Yunchu didn't want to believe a word of what Master Queji said about Xue Rengui, but there must be some reason behind it that he didn't know about.

"When will Master Xuanzang come?"

Qiuji said: "Twelve days later, although His Majesty's methods seemed peaceful in Shandong, he actually committed endless crimes. The master is planning to conduct a water and land dojo in the Dai Temple at the foot of Mount Tai to calm down the grievances here. .”

Yunchu sighed and said: "Your Majesty has obtained the people and land of Shandong, and Buddhism has obtained the wealth and wealth of Shandong. It has re-entered your Majesty's sight. Only I was humiliated and lost my official position and title."

Now that I have fallen into such a state of desolation, I still ask the master to take care of me. "

Qiuji frowned and said, "You want to become a monk?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I still have a lovely wife and young son at home. How can I become a monk? I just want to borrow a monk's robe for refuge."

Master Guiji clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, you humiliate Buddhism and no one can surpass you Yunchu."
