Chapter Seven Unexpected
Chang Sihao had a good impression of Sonam Gyatso, but how could he handle military and national affairs lightly? There was a slight hesitation in his eyes.
Qin Langchuan thought to himself what was wrong with him. He was so hesitant about the matter, and even felt a little dependent on Xiaohao. Could it be that he was really old? After thinking about it for a while, he already had an idea, and he laughed.
Said: "This is really a blessing to both armies and a blessing to all the people, Xiaohao, let's just believe him once!"
Sonam Gyatso said happily: "Thank you very much."
Chang Sihao and Suonan Jiacuo started to dig up the rubble, found and moved out the bodies of Qi Beishan, Liangyin and Qingyin. They dug earth in an open area beside the road to bury them. The two masters' graves were adjacent to each other.
The tomb in Qibei Mountain is buried on one side. Suonan Gyatso turned the prayer wheel with his hand and chanted sutras in front of the tomb one after another, with a solemn expression.
Qin Langchuan stood on the side of the collapsed cave wall holding the sunset sword, looking at the giant Buddha that was out in the open air, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that we collapsed this cave, otherwise the Buddha will not be able to see him for thousands of years."
Looking at the sun, haha." Looking up at the sky, I suddenly felt the sun was dazzling. My body swayed and I was a little unsteady. I hurriedly waved and said: "Xiao Hao, give me a hand." Chang Sihao ran back to hold him up, Qin Langchuan
He laughed loudly and said: "Hey! I can't do it anymore! I think when I celebrated my seventieth birthday, I thought people didn't know what old age was. But now I know, it turns out that when you get old, you look like this bear!"
Chang Sihao saw that his white hair was pale, and his originally rosy and shiny skin now turned a gray-black earth color. He felt sad for a while, but he heard Qin Langchuan whisper in his ear: "If you see me here, go up and give me a knife."
Killed, no need to say anything." Chang Sihao frowned, but his shoulders were tightened, and Qin Langchuan's eyes flashed with a heart-stopping light: "Xiao Hao, the lives of all soldiers and civilians are in your hands!"
As he spoke, he held his big hand on his shoulder and shook it.
Chang Sihao was about to speak, but Suonan Gyatso had chanted the scriptures and turned back. Qin Langchuan said: "Master, it's getting late, let's set off now." Suonan Gyatso nodded, and Chang Sihao took Qi.
The horse from Beishan was brought for him to ride on, and he untied the horses of Liangyin and Qingyin, patted their hindquarters, and the two horses recognized the way and galloped back to the city.
Qin Langchuan's arms were weak and he was trembling suddenly. It was a bit difficult to get on the horse. Chang Sihao was about to reach out to help him, but he became stubborn. He shook his head and gritted his teeth. He turned over and sat down, tightened the reins and smiled: "Master can ride."
Can you get used to the horse?" Suonan Gyatso smiled: "It's okay." Qin Langchuan smiled and said: "The horse is bumpy, it's not as comfortable as flying in the clouds and mist!" Suonan Gyatso said: "The donor was joking, that kind of ability, it turns out that
It's nothing like this in the world." Qin Langchuan smiled: "It turns out you also understand some things in the world." Suonan Gyatso's expression was calm and he also smiled along with him.
Chang Sihao ignored their words. He looked at the sitting statue of Buddha and remained silent. He thought that he came here just to kill Anda. No matter whether he sneaked in to assassinate me or fought hard, he had no objection. But Suonan Gyatso
It would be unreasonable to try to kill An Da as soon as he saw me. But if he didn't do this, Qin Langchuan would not be able to explain himself. He would be at war in his heart.
When he came to his senses, he heard Qin Langchuan ask: "I don't know where I'm going on the iron ride?"
Suonan Gyatso said: "The young monk saw him camping by the Hun River yesterday. I think the army must have passed the tiger's mouth at this moment." Qin Langchuan looked at the sky and said: "So, we are only two hundred miles away from him, so hurry up.
, we can meet at dusk. Xiaohao, get on your horse and go!" Chang Sihao nodded, slung the Thunder Saber behind his back and saddled up.
The three of them identified the direction and rode forward. They met a river on the way. They ate some dry food and drank some water. They tidied up their appearance and continued walking for about an hour. They arrived at the boundary of Que'er Mountain. Qin Langchuan said: "We are going to
The most direct and shortest road. Go west past Chenjiayao and Oujia Village, which is the Shahukou. There are ridges at Chenjiayao, making it difficult for the army to march. I answered that maybe after passing the Shahukou, the route will be changed. One is to drink horse Cangtou.
The river starts from Niuxinbao and Zhangjiachang, passes through Yungang and takes Datong West. The other one goes east from Li Dayao, turns to Beisheng Village, passes through Polubao, passes through West Village, and Gudian to Datong North. The former is more
It's easy to walk, but it's a little detoured. I think I have a higher chance of taking the second route. Let's run along Weilu Fort to Caonian, which is not far from Beisheng Village. Maybe we can get in front of the army." Chang Sihao
He admired him in his heart and wondered if the Qin family's ability to dominate Shanxi under his leadership was not accidental. It was because of his familiarity with the geography that he could see the lines on his palm. It could not be a big deal. After another journey, the road became increasingly dusty and red.
The sun was turning to the west, and the autumn wind was blowing, which made people feel quite cool. There seemed to be a slight sound of boiling water in front of them. I urged my horse to look up the high slope, and saw in the distance a wilderness of mountains, thickets, and vast fields with billowing dust and smoke.
Slowly advancing from west to east, Suonan Gyatso said: "It's them." Qin Langchuan was shocked: "I thought I could get in front of them, but I almost missed them. The enemy came so fast!"
The three of them rode diagonally, seeing that the road was close but far away. It took them more than half an hour to catch up. At this time, Anda's army had stopped advancing. There were people coming and going to direct them. They quickly set up camp before the sun set. The sentinel discovered it early.
Three riders and a small team of Pegasus arrived. The leader waved a scimitar and shouted. Suonan Gyatso stepped forward to answer. When the man saw the prayer wheel in his hand, his expression immediately became respectful. Qin Langchuan thought about himself and them
Because of the language barrier, he had to be cautious. He whispered to Chang Sihao: "Pay attention to their expressions when they speak. If you feel there is a problem, take action first. Don't suffer a loss. If you have a falling out, you can get out if you can. No need to
Leave me alone." Chang Sihao nodded, knowing that he was seriously injured, his meridians were closed, and he was holding them up with a breath of true energy. Looking at his gray hair, he felt a faint pain in his heart, secretly thinking that he came here specifically for the assassination.
Now the only one who can take action is himself, how can he let him down?
Sonam Gyatso talked with the leader for a few words, and the man called his men and gave instructions. The latter returned quickly, and the leader led the three of them slowly towards the camp, with cavalry on the left and right. Sonam Gyatso
He said to Qin and Chang, "They have sent people back to report, please be patient." Qin Langchuan said, "The master seems to be quite famous among the Tatars? How many people believe in the Yellow Sect?"
Suonan Gyatso said: "Many people among the Tatar nobles already believe in our religion, but the influence of folk shamanism is too great, so that our religion has not been able to spread on a large scale. The young monk once gave a lecture in Tashilhunpo Temple.
A Tatar monk asked questions, and the young monk answered them one by one, and he returned home satisfied. After that, he was invited to visit him several times, but he did very little to spread the Dharma, so his name is known to a few people."
As we were talking, we had arrived in front of the camp. The white military tents were already connected like white mushrooms after the rain. The flag forest was like a sea, making waves. The Tatar soldiers were wearing powerful leather robes, bright armor and helmets, each with their own division of labor.
There was constant traffic, and there was no noise. Qin Langchuan thought that just by looking at the appearance of this army, he could tell his laws. I replied that he had been in the army for many years, and he was indeed a good man. However, it seemed that the number of troops and horses here was only twenty or thirty thousand. It was a bit exaggerated to pretend to be one hundred thousand.
. After waiting not long, I heard the sound of horns. Two teams of honor guards came out of the camp, arranged neatly. Behind them, there was the sound of drums, and a tall horse galloped forward. The man on the horse was wearing a red robe, a ribbon tied around his waist, and a fire fox on his head.
Wearing a leather hat and cowhide boots, he saw Suonan Gyatso from a distance. He turned over and dismounted, smiled brightly, and ran to greet him. His expression was very affectionate. Qin Langchuan saw that this man was tall and tall, with a round waist and shoulders.
Kuan, probably weighing about three hundred kilograms, stood next to Suonan Gyatso, nearly half a body taller than him, with thick eyebrows and short beard. He was only around thirty years old, and he didn't know who he was.
Suonan Gyatso said a few words and introduced the man in red robe to the two of them: "This is Wu Enqi, the commander of Ananda Khan's personal iron guard." Qin Langchuan and Chang Sihao raised their heads and cupped their hands. Wu Enqi
Qi said in slightly stiff Chinese: "Hello, two friends. Guru's friends are our friends. Guru, let's all speak Chinese, lest the two friends feel deserted." Sonam Gyatso nodded.
Qin Langchuan thought that this man was quite attentive. After saying a few polite words, Wu Enqi said: "Master, two friends, please come inside." He led the way, and several people followed him into the camp.
Chang Sihao looked around as he walked, and saw that the stockade fences on the left and right were neat and orderly. They were all made of wooden stakes with burnt tips driven into the ground, and connected by wooden boards in the middle. The soldiers quickly set up an archery tower, and patrols went back and forth.
Constantly, I thought that this big camp was set up in an open field and it would be difficult to sneak into it. On this trip, I met Sonam Gyatso, who was able to penetrate deep into the hinterland easily, which saved a lot of effort. After walking for half a cup of tea, there was another person ahead of me.
A stockade fence separated each other, and two layers of antlers were placed at the entrance of the fence. The tent could already be seen in the distance. The number of nearby guards more than doubled, and their armors were all red, with white feathers stuck diagonally on their hats. Wu Enqi said:
"From now on, the Iron Guards are inside. Weapons cannot be brought in."
Chang Sihao glanced at Qin Langchuan, and Suonan Gyatso said: "Don't worry, you two. The young monk is here to ensure that you two are safe." Qin Langchuan thought that at this moment, Suonan Gyatso had lost most of his power, and the Tatar guards
No matter how strong they are, they are just some barbarians. Once inside, Chang Sihao's fists and kicks can stab me to death. I don't want to take this old bone back with me now. I'm afraid where will he come from? I pointed at Chang Sihao.
Nodding, Chang Sihao took off the Sunset Knife from his waist. Chang Sihao also took off the three-handled Xue Zhan, Zhan Lang and Ben Lei knives, and handed them to the guard next to him. The small short hidden knife in Suonan Gyatso's arms was like an accessory.
They also handed it over. Wu Enqi waved his hand and the guards moved the antlers away. The foreign troops stayed behind and only let the four of them enter the village gate.
Arriving outside the tent, Wu Enqi reported loudly: "Master Suonan Gyatso of Sera Monastery and two Han friends have arrived." Someone inside responded in Mongolian, Qin Langchuan winked at Chang Sihao,
Chang Sihao understood in his heart, secretly thinking that if he wanted to be worthy of Sonam Gyatso, he would be sorry to the people on the border. Now that he is here, how can he retreat? He can only fight to the death! He nodded slightly to show his understanding.
The curtain was lifted, and the four people entered the tent. A warm fragrance hit their faces, and they saw a person sitting in the center of the tent. He was wearing a white velvet hat, a brocade flower fur coat, a wide waistband, studded with gems, and a diagonal tie.
Wearing a dragon-patterned coral waistband and small white leather boots with raised pointed toes and a small pom-pom on top, she looks like a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. There are several waitresses on both sides waiting on her.
others.
Chang Sihao was trying his best to see me, so he went up and tried his best. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but froze.
As soon as the girl saw Suonan Gyatso, she immediately got down from her seat and ran over, pulling him with her to talk and laugh. Suonan Gyatso's joy was beyond words. Qin and Chang couldn't understand the Mongolian they spoke. They were two feet tall.
