First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 515 Jiaojiao (two more)

  The battle in Lingguan City was over, and the attack was launched when the snow stopped at Shushi, and it was completely over when the Haishi came, and the battle ended in less than an hour.

  Gu's army concentrated all the superior forces, and with absolute superiority in number and combat power, the 30,000 army of the remnants of the previous dynasty was killed.

King   Yi was shot wounded, and the horse took five thousand troops to **** him out from the other side of Lingguan City.

  Of the remaining 25,000 people, 5,000 died in battle, and 20,000 became prisoners.

  Most of the 20,000 prisoners were strong men from the frontier fortresses and various places. They were either followers of the Living Buddha, or were coerced and lured by King Yi and became members of the rebel army.

  Of course, there are also some descendants of the nobles and gentry of the previous dynasty who held important positions under King Yi. The ridiculous thing is that King Yi did not follow them when he abandoned the city and fled.

  Gu Changqing wore a silver armor cloak and rode on a tall horse that also wore silver armor. Behind him was a uniform Gu's cavalry.

  Infantrymen were left at the gate of the city to clean the battlefield, and formed a patrol to search for the fish caught in the remnants of the front.

  Lingguan City is not the first time to fight a war. The most terrifying one was that it was captured by Chen Guo's army not long ago. That day, as it is today, a large number of Chen Guo's cavalry broke through the Lingguan City checkpoint and captured the Lingguan City's defenders.

  They also rode horses and walks down the long street vigorously.

  They took away the women when they saw them, took them when they saw the strong men, burned, killed, looted, and did everything.

  The war broke out again, Lingguan City was screaming, and the doors and windows of every household were closed. After hearing the sound of horseshoes, they didn't even look at who won, and all of them hid in their homes with horror.

  However, the sound of horseshoes approached, and the sound of horseshoes went away again. There was no screams of women, no roars of men, and no noise of soldiers breaking and plundering on the long street.

  Finally, the courageous young man quietly pushed open a crack in the door and looked out.

  He saw the banner of Zhaoguo hunting and dancing in the night and cold wind, and also saw the banner of Gu Jiajun guarding behind the banner of Zhaoguo.

   "It's Gu Jiajun!"

   he cried out.

  When the people heard that it was Gu Jiajun, they came with a little hope, but they were not bold enough to immediately come to the long street. They also opened a crack in the door and looked out.

  Gu Jiajun walked from the west end of the long street to the east end of the long street, all the way towards the Taishou Mansion.

  They did not disturb any people in the city, nor did they take away any sheep or chicken on the side of the road.

  They have strict military regulations, and they are all righteous!

  Gradually, some people walked out of their own homes. At first there was only one, but a large group slowly gathered in the back. They curiously followed Gu Jiajun and walked in the direction of the Prefectural Palace.

  At this time, the prefectural palace has been completely surrounded by the Gu family army.

  Counselor Zhang searched the prefect’s palace inside and out, and found dozens of staff of King Yi, and also wiped out the thousands of Chen Guo’s troops who were too late to withdraw from the city.

  When Gu Changqing led the iron cavalry to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, the people also followed.

  General Zhang Shen suddenly escorted a bald monk in a robe from a nearby house.

  The monk is about fifty or so, with a kind eyebrow, a wide heart and a fat body.

  Many of the people recognized him, and a woman exclaimed: "It's the living Buddha! They, they caught the living Buddha!"

   Hearing the people’s exclamation, the originally panicked bald monk flashed his eyes, straightened his waist, and said fearlessly: "Amitabha Buddha, goodness, goodness, why do you benefactors kill evil in the city?"

   "I, go to your mother's benefactor!" Zhang Shen kicked the bald monk's **** egg, kicking him to the ground and throwing him on the ground, "Fake monk! Fake!"

  The prestige of the Living Buddha in Lingguan City is still quite high. Zhang Shenjiang’s move undoubtedly angered some people.

  General Zhang did not think it was the people’s fault. After all, the people were innocent. It was this shameless fake monk who had colluded with King Yi and fooled the soldiers and the people in the frontier fortress.

   Zhang Shenjun wished to vent all his anger on the fake monk, but Gu Changqing raised his hand to stop him.

  Gu Changqing said lightly: "Stop it."

  Chen Zhang retreated aside: "Yes, General!"

  The fake monk fell so badly that he cursed three times in his heart, but he did not dare to show the slightest expression on his face.

  He simply sat cross-legged on the ground, with a Buddhist bead in one hand, and performed a Buddhist ceremony. Generally speaking, he said: "Amitabha, the donor kills too much. My Buddha is merciful. I hope that the donors will stop killing evil."

  "How can you treat the living Buddha like this! The living Buddha is a good person! It was sent by the Buddha to save us! If you disrespect the living Buddha, you will be punished!" An old lady said indignantly.

  Chen Jiang Zhang has a toothache!

  Old man, you open your eyes and take a look, this bald donkey is a fake!

  Which master will collude with the rebels and trap the people in the frontier fortress in the flames of war!

  And he still, he still...

Zhang Shenjiang almost blurted out what he had just found out. Gu Changqing interrupted him in time. Gu Changqing condescendingly looked at the living Buddha sitting on the ground and asked without hesitation: "You said you are a living Buddha, so I will ask you. , How many products are there in the Diamond Sutra?"

   "Thirty-two products!" The Living Buddha said without hesitation.

   "What is the thirty-second product, do you remember?"

  The fake monk sneered in his heart and wanted to pretend to be a living Buddha. How could he not even know the "Diamond Sutra"?

He performed a Buddhist ritual and slowly said: "Subhuti! If someone uses the Seven Treasures of the Immeasurable A Sengga to hold charity, if there are good men and women who have bodhichitta, hold this sutra, or even four verses, etc. , Sustained reading, speaking for others, its blessing is better than others. What cloud is a speech for a person, do not take the phase, if it does not move. Why is it? Everything is the law, such as dream bubbles, such as dew and electricity, should be viewed in the same way. The Buddha said it was the sutra. The elder Subhuti mentioned the bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, Upasai, Upasiya, all the world, the heavens, the people, and the asuras. Upon hearing what the Buddha said, they all rejoice and believe in and practice."

   "Look! He is a living Buddha!" ​​said another citizen.

   Zhang Shen general got angry, and couldn't help but utter a few words: "If you know the Buddhist scriptures, you will be a living Buddha. Then I will memorize two paragraphs of the four books and five classics. Am I the champion of the new discipline?"

  "Then you know that Sakyamuni once wrote a volume of "The Small Shurangama Sutra", which was written by Sakyamuni when he was still in the royal family before he enlightened the Tao. How many of them might you say?"

  The expression of the fake monk stagnated for a moment.

  Generally, these little sutras are not very popular Buddhist scriptures, and he is not a true monk, how can he really memorize all the Buddhist scriptures?

   is also weird. He is obviously a reckless man at war, how can he still understand Buddhist scriptures?

  Is anyone in your family becoming a monk?

  Or all the Buddhist scriptures are memorized upside down and chanted to you every day?

"The "Little Shurangama Sutra" is naturally known to the poor monk, but the poor monk rarely mentions this sutra when he preaches the Dharma. Even if the poor monk says it, not many people have heard it. In case, the donor slandered I'm talking nonsense, and who will prove the innocence for the poor monk?"

  Haha, little tricks, it’s hard to beat him!

  Gu Changqing said again: "You are a living Buddha, and you should have this scripture in your hand."

  The fake monk said without changing his face: "The scriptures...have already been burned by your people!"

   General Zhang Shen said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! When did I burn your things!"

  Gu Changqing looked at the fake monk with a calm and calm expression: "So the master admits that there is this Buddhist scripture in the world."

  As soon as the words came out, the expression of the fake monk was stagnant again.

  Gu Changqing said unhurriedly: "Master knows that there is no such Buddhist scripture in the world."

  The Shurangama Sutra is available.

  Ke "Xiao Shurangama Sutra" is purely Gu Changqing cheated him.

  Gu Changqing looked at him faintly and said, "Sakyamuni was an ordinary person before he enlightened the Tao. How can he write Buddhist scriptures? The master is regarded as a living Buddha, and he doesn't even understand such simple principles?"

   "..." The fake monk was choked and speechless.

  Who said that those who led the army in the war had no brains, this kid is cunning! Actually set him off!

  Not all of the people are believers of the Living Buddha, but there are still many surviving people. Seeing that the Living Buddha is showing such a big horse, they can't help but say loudly: "You can't really be a fake monk!"

  The false monk Serenely said: "I am a living Buddha! Not a false monk!"

   "Then you don't even know Buddhist scriptures!" The young man who had just attacked him continued.

   "I am..."

   Before the fake monk was finished, Gu Changqing raised his hand, and several Gu Jiajun came over with several women.

The woman headed by    is about the same age as the fake monk, surrounded by green jewels and jewels, forming a sharp contrast with the impoverished people after the war.

  The women behind her are all dressed up like her, but they are younger than her.

  The fake monk's face was already stretched when he saw this group of people appearing. He wanted them to shut up, but it was too late.

   "Master, you quickly save us-they are going to catch us to see the officer!"

   The master of the head woman completely wiped away the fake monk's fig leaf.

  "Don’t listen to her nonsense! I don’t know them! I don’t know what methods these court people used to find a bunch of women to plant and slander the poor monks! Amitabha, sins and sins!"

   "Father——"

  Behind several women and women, an immature childish voice sounded with a cry.

  More than one came, but a rough count, at least seven or eight.

  If it is said that these women may have been played by Gu Changqing, then these children who are all similar to the "living Buddha" will never be found to fill the number.

  There are many similar people in the world, but these few people obviously have a frontier accent. There are only seven or eight children who look like living Buddhas in the frontier. Who believes that he is not his own?

  The fake monk Wei did not expect that Gu Jiajun was so ruthless, not only dug him out of the secret room, but also found his family from the cellar.

  This time I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn’t wash it out.

  The evidence and evidence were all present, Gu Changqing left Army Master Shao to take care of Lingguancheng's general affairs, and sent Zhang Shenjun and 10,000 Gu Jiajun to guard Lingguancheng.

  After that, Gu Changqing hurried back to Yuegu City with the rest of the team.

  The army of the State of Chen really attacked Chaoyue Ancient City at night, but there was something wrong with them on the road, and they encountered an avalanche, which caused them to arrive an hour later than planned.

  At this time, Gu Changqing had led his army back, and Chen Guo's army decisively withdrew when he saw the situation.

   Chen Guo's army has gone through two forced marches for two long distances. If it turns around to attack Lingguan City at this time, it is simply hitting rocks with eggs.

  Gu Changqing was not worried about the situation in Lingguan City, he led the army into Yue Ancient City.

  The first thing he did was to go to the wounded camp to find Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao once said to him that if things go well, she will go to the prefectural palace to meet him, but he didn't wait for her, she should have implemented the second plan—to bring the patient back to Yue Ancient City.

  He came outside the wounded camp and saw Dr. Song in a greased-paper isolation gown, mask and gloves.

  Doctor Song is generally not so tightly wrapped, it seems that Gu Jiao and the plague patients have returned.

  I'll be back.

  He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  However, before he finished his breath, I saw Doctor Song approaching him suspiciously: "General Gu, didn't Doctor Gu come back with you?"

  Gu Changqing was startled slightly: "Didn’t she come back with those patients?"

  Doctor Song shook his head: "She did not come back!"

   Both men realized that something was wrong at the same time.

  Gu Changqing's expression changed, and six dark guards were called over. When he learned that Gu Jiao was going to deal with the masters of Chen Guo alone, his heart sank.

   "No." He thought thoughtfully, "It's just to chase a few plague patients, and will not dispatch the most powerful masters. As long as they are not the most powerful masters, Jiaojiao will not fail to come back. Unless--"

  Gu Changqing suddenly thought of the dead man who could defeat the three Dragon Shadow Guards beside him, and his back slammed into an icy cold!

   "General, everything is ready, will we attack North the day after tomorrow"

The left commander in charge of guarding the ancient city of the moon walked over with a few marching bamboo slips, and halfway through the conversation with Gu Changqing, he saw Gu Changqing as if he hadn't heard him, and suddenly walked towards the stable, pulled out his mount, and said nothing. Up the horse.

  Left commander chased him and was splashed with snow.

  He wiped it out randomly, looking at Gu Changqing who was leaving from the dust, and said loudly: "General! Where are you going so late! General! General——"

  ……

  The cold wind howled and the heavy snow was swaying.

  Gu Jiao froze into a small ice sculpture in the ice and snow.

  She lay there frozen with the body of Sirius, losing her body temperature and breathing little by little.

  People will think of many things before they die, but Gu Jiao can't think of anything, her head is frozen.

  I don’t know how long it has passed, and the last trace of her remaining consciousness is frozen in the snow.

  She closed her eyes.

  Gu Changqing’s horse galloped fast in the night. It was his most beloved horse. When he came to the mansion, he was only a small pony. They have been together for several years and have formed an unspeakable understanding.

  The horse felt the owner's anxiety, and the horse's hoof almost broke in the snow.

  Gu Changqing went to the forest where the camp was stationed, and found the body of the former master who was buried by the snow.

  He shaved away the ice and snow with his bare hands, turning over the corpses one by one.

   is not Jiaojiao.

   is not Jiaojiao.

   is not Jiaojiao either.

  Everyone was killed by a red-wing spear. It was obvious that Gu Jiao was able to deal with them with ease.

  If the dead man was here, Gu Jiao would not succeed so easily.

  Gu Changqing finished the last corpse, kneeling in the snow with stiff fingers and panting.

  If Gu Yan is here...If Gu Yan is...I can definitely sense where Jiaojiao has gone...

  Gu Changqing was not Gu Yan after all. He could not sense Gu Jiao's movement. He just had inexplicable intuition that Gu Jiao left this forest with a certain task.

  She may have predicted that she will not come back so soon, or may not even come back, so the retreat in her plan is to let the patients rush to the ancient city of Yue, which will be managed by Doctor Song.

  She... She took the initiative to find the dead man.

  Why did she go to him?

  Why?

  ……

  The wind and snow are so great that even the horse is reluctant to move forward.

  The soldier had to get off the horse, and led the horse to try to keep up with the team. However, after two steps, he felt something tripped under his feet, and a 趔趄 fell forward.

  He planted on a small hard snowdrift. The snowdrift was a little hard. He didn't care too much, so he held the other side of the snowdrift and stood up.

   can just be clicked.

  He was stunned.

  It doesn’t feel right, why is it the same thing?

  He had a chill on his back and looked carefully to his hand, only to see a round head.

  He fell backwards with a loud cry, stumbled in the snow, and sat up and happened to meet a pair of staring eyes.

  He was so frightened that the horse couldn't care about it anymore, and ran forward with a fart: "Ghost—Ghost—"

   "What is it noisy?" A sergeant grabbed him, "You want to attract chasing soldiers, right?"

  He didn't dare to turn his head, he only pointed his finger behind him tremblingly: "No...no... Brother Zhang... Then... there are ghosts over there!"

  Safety along the way is very important. If there is a ghost, it may not be a real ghost, but a person lurking in the dark!

  The corporal captain, who was called Brother Zhang, walked towards the raised little snowdrift with the wind and snow on his back.

  When he got closer, he realized that it was a person who had been frozen to death.

  It made him worry for nothing, and thought it was an assassin in ambush!

  The captain was about to turn around to catch up with the team, but suddenly he felt that face was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

  He bent down again and looked at the other person’s face after thinking about it.

  He finally remembered where he had seen him.

   "My lord! My lord!"

  The silver fox man was sitting in a carriage pulled by eight horses, and suddenly a soldier's anxious voice came from outside.

  He looked at his unconscious uncle next to him, took out his slender and slender right hand from the warming hand, opened the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?"

  The soldier reported: "It seems that someone... has seen Sirius!"

  After a while, the silver fox man and a few henchmen appeared beside the small snowdrift that had just stumbled over.

  The confidant pulled away the snow, revealing the entire body of Sirius.

  He knelt beside the other corpse, his head nodded to the ground, his cheek slightly to the right.

  This action made him not put all his weight on the opponent's body, but it was heavy enough.

  Everyone was stunned.

  Sirius is the number one master of the adults. Didn’t he **** Princess Ning’an to escape?

How could    die here?

  Who was the one who died with him?

  The silver fox man frowned, his eyes falling on the corpse of Sirius in disbelief.

  The confidants understood why the adults would show such a look. Sirius was a dead soldier bought from the nobles of the Yan Kingdom for a lot of money, and it was by no means comparable to the ordinary dead.

  Long Yingwei of the Zhao Kingdom imperial clan can't hold on to ten moves in the hands of Sirius. The person who can kill Sirius is in Yan Kingdom, and no one in Zhao Kingdom or Chen Kingdom can even hurt him!

  The handsome face of the silver fox man was covered with a layer of frost, and his opponent said coldly: "Look at who is the other dead?"

"Yes!"

  A confidant squatted down and pushed away the snow on the man's face.

  It was a young and immature face with a red birthmark on the left face.

  The silver fox man recognized the birthmark all at once.

"It's him?"

  He was surprised.

  The silver fox man fought Gu Jiao, and Gu Jiao wounded him with a red gun on the ice of the lake.

  Before that time, Gu Jiao and another man in black had rushed to the prefect's mansion in Lingguan City at night and used black powder to cut a **** road and rescued the old Ding Anhou of Zhaoguo.

   "My lord! He is still angry!" his confidant said in shock.

  He originally planned to separate Sirius from the little corpse, but when his hand touched Gu Jiao's face, he noticed something was wrong, and he probed his breath again.

  The breath is faint, but it is real!

   "My lord, King Yi is awake, let the subordinates come down and ask what happened here?" The guard next to King Yi came over and said.

The silver fox man looked thoughtfully at Gu Jiao who was unconscious: "Sirius is dead, just caught the murderer."

  The silver fox man returned to the carriage.

  He also took him into the carriage with an unconscious soldier in armor.

King   Yi covered the wound on his shoulder, frowned in pain, and asked, "Who is he?"

   "The murderer who killed Sirius."

King   yiyi looked up and down at Gu Jiao’s figure and her armor, which had no special emblems at all, and said, “What? He? A small soldier?”

  "It's Zhaoguo's soldiers." The silver fox man said.

  Yi Wang had just lost the battle, and mentioned that Zhao Guo's expression was not good, he said in a deep voice, "Gu Jiajun?"

  The silver fox man threw Gu Jiao on the carpet of the carriage and kicked Gu Jiao's feet slightly with his feet: "Look at the armor, it doesn't look like it."

  Gu Jiajun’s armor is silver. This kid’s armor is a bit like that of the Tang family archer, but it doesn’t have the emblem of the Tang family archer.

  Yi Wang looked at Gu Jiao weirdly: "You said he killed Sirius? How is it possible? How old does he look?"

  The silver fox man curled his lips and smiled: "Uncle, do you still remember the boy who was related to Yan State that I mentioned to you?"

  Yi Wang frowned and said, "That person you are talking about is him?"

   "My lord! I found all his luggage, here it is!"

   Outside the carriage, the silver fox man's henchman handed over a heavy small back basket and a red spear.

  Silver Fox man Maoxue took it.

  As soon as the curtain was opened, the wind and snow rushed in. King Yi shivered with the cold, and his brows wrinkled tighter.

  The silver fox man tied the curtains and turned over in the small back basket first.

  Seeing that there was nothing but a little dry food and a small tattered medicine box, the Silver Fox man was a little disappointed.

  I thought I could find some treasure.

  The silver fox man casually put the small back basket beside Gu Jiao, caressed the red spear in his hand, and said to King Yi: "Uncle, this is the weapon of Yan Guo's **** general Xuanyuanli."

  "So ugly?" King Yi was so hot that his eyes were hurt by the big red flowers and small braids on the red spear.

The silver fox man gave a faint smile, but he didn't care about the weapon's ugliness: "I asked Chen Guo about it a few days ago, and Xuanyuanli's red tasseled gun was given by Yan Guojun to Chen Guojun as a birthday gift. Chen Guo fought against Zhao Guo, and this red-tasseled gun was snatched by Xuan Ping Hou of Zhao Guo. During the peace talks between the two countries, Chen Guo intended to return it, but Xuan Ping Hou refused.

  Yi Wang pondered for a moment, and he was convinced: "Well, that person can do such a thing."

   is a shameless person.

  Yi Wang paused, and then asked, "Then is he from the Xuanyuan Family or from the Xuanping Hou Mansion?"

  The silver fox man shook his head: “It’s not clear for the time being. Not only did he get this spear, he also possesses black powder. He must have a relationship with Yan Guo.”

"So it is from the Xuanyuan family." King Yi gave a judgment in his heart, and his expression changed drastically, "We have arrested the Xuanyuan family! If the Xuanyuan family knows, we don't need a hundred thousand iron horses to trample us into mud. !"

  The silver fox man smiled: "Uncle rest assured, if he is really a pivotal person in the Xuanyuan family, Yan Guo has sent reinforcements early."

  Yi Wang thought about this. After thinking of something, King Yi said again: "Then you...why didn’t you kill him? He killed Sirius, don’t you avenge Sirius?"

The silver fox man touched the red tasseled spear in his hand and said, "Sirius is dead. Even if I avenge Sirius, Sirius will not survive. But if he can kill Sirius, it means he is more powerful than Sirius. Uncle, if he is willing to submit to us, don't we have a second Sirius?"

King   Yi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What if he doesn't submit?"

  The silver fox man curled his lips freely: "He is a soldier of Zhaoguo, he saved Lao Ding Anhou's life. We use him to threaten Gu Jiajun, what does uncle think Gu Jiajun will do?"

  Yi Wang looked at the young man lying on the ground for an instant. For some reason, he felt a little overwhelmed in his heart: "I think it would be better for us to kill him."

  The silver fox man smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be afraid, he is frozen like this, and he can't pose a threat."

  　 On the last day of the month, the ticket is cleared.
