Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

It is said that the host of Qingniling nunnery originated from a monk in Mount Emei. But when she came to the Qinling Mountains, she was far from carrying forward Buddhism. Maybe it was because she was not good at studying Buddhism. Otherwise, how could she make friends with Taoists whose faction is unknown? As a younger brother who was born in Mount Emei, such things are simply taboo nowadays.

At the beginning, there were many Taoist temples in Mount Emei. In the late Han Dynasty and Eastern Jin Dynasty, Buddhism used Mount Emei as the Taoist temple of Samantabhadra, and Taoism was soon excluded. Now the Taoist temple in Mount Emei still exists, but there are many contradictions with Buddhism.

Of course Jingniang's younger brothers don't care about these things, they claim to be Taoist, but in fact they are a bit nondescript. The host of Qingniling nunnery should pay attention to these things, but now she doesn't seem to want to bother; the nunnery is on the verge of closing down, maybe she thinks that the most important thing is to keep a group of women from starving to death.

Now two nuns are traveling hundreds of miles to Sanguan in order to repay the favor of the female Taoist priest Jing Niang. Then he got involved in common affairs and was asked to describe the terrain and climate of Qingniling.

Although Guo Shao is in awe of unknown things such as gods and ghosts in his heart, he does not believe in any religion, let alone nuns or Taoist nuns, as long as they are useful, he will use them. He only cared about making military achievements and waiting to marry the second sister of the Fu family.

According to the nuns, the location of Qingniling is actually very good, it is on the "Chencang Road", but it is the most difficult part of the northern section of the Shu Road; it is located forty miles south of Guzhen.

The Shu road first extends along the Jialing River, and after arriving in Fengzhou, it is difficult to cross the dangerous Jialing River; so it diverted to the west, passed through Guzhen, and then passed through Qingniling. Qingniling is a place with high mountains and heavy rain, and the roads are difficult to walk. It is actually the most dangerous place. There have been many wars;

After listening to the nun's story, Guo Shao thought that Qingniling was in the south of Guzhen, and it was not the target of the battle to capture Qin and Feng. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A group of women came north along the Shu Road, and also discovered eight military strongholds in the north of Weiwu City. This information is very useful to Guo Shao.

... The two groups of troops sent earlier have returned, and Guo Shao and the generals agreed to return to Fengxiang. But before leaving, he decided to consolidate the two footholds of Qingniling nunnery and Lao Luo's house in Tangcang town, and establish strongholds.

This is a simple "intelligence system". The main station is located in Chencang, the endpoint of the Shu Road, and a private house is rented to settle the matter. Luo Yanhuan and two personal soldiers stay behind temporarily. There are two strongholds under it, one is Qingniling nunnery, where Jingniang's subordinates pretend to be Buddhist laymen to stay behind; the other Tangcang town is no longer garrisoned by strong personal soldiers, but two servants of Li Chuyun's family pretend to be merchants, and they are in cahoots with old man Luo. It was easier for Li Chuyun's servants to look like they were not soldiers.

It was the first time for everyone to see that dispatching spies could do this; before the military generals wanted to inquire about the military situation, they either asked the traffickers who came and went, or sent scouts to find out the situation temporarily. Such things as lurking and undercover are really unknown in the army... so Guo Shaocai can only arrange it himself. It is easy to do this, and such a simple organization can be maintained if you are willing to spend money to support it; as long as the remuneration is reasonable, there are people who are willing to take this risk everywhere.

On the way, Zuo You couldn't help but praise Guo Shao in front of Yang Biao and others: "My lord is good at using people. Whether it's a nun, a nun, or a slave, they can be useful. I also remembered the battle in Wujun Town. The lord was able to quickly organize the wounded soldiers who could not be organized, and even the old and weak women and children into a powerful force. I can't help but be amazed."

However, Luo Meng said disapprovingly: "Last time, I told the general that the elder brother is best at seizing the opportunity, otherwise all the brothers would have died in the Battle of Hedong, and Shi Yanchao would not have survived!"

...

As soon as he returned to Fengxiang Inn, Guo Shao found someone watching him from the window of the wooden building. Perhaps because of the instinctive reaction formed by practicing archery, he pays extra attention to the commanding heights where the field of vision is relatively open, so he found Li's young lady hiding behind the window in no time.

Then people on the left and right followed Guo Shao's gaze and looked up. He is the leader of the group, so it is easier for the accompanying people to pay attention to his words and deeds. But at this time people didn't see anything, only a window, and the bamboo curtain was still shaking slightly.

Just like everyone in the hall of Li Mansion in Binzhou suddenly looked back, no one saw her. Li Jianiang's movements are always so fast.

Li Jianiang's thoughts, not to mention Guo Shao's party, can be seen blindly. Guo Shao could only pretend to be stupid... If it wasn't for Queen Fu's promise to him, he would think that Li Jianiang is also pretty good.

Then everyone went back to their rooms, Jingniang and Guo Shao walked together, just as they walked up the wooden stairs, they bumped into Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li stood in front of her with her head down, her cheeks flushed, Guo Shao and Jing Niang were taken aback. Guo Shao hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, saying hello.

Mrs. Li said softly: "I have washed the robe that Guo Du envoy gave me in Binzhou, and I will return it to you."

Guo Shao took a look, she was empty-handed and did not take anything. Xindao: Returning things is really a good excuse for a logical meeting. This trick is still used in later generations. However, Mrs. Li seemed a little jerky in doing it. Since returning the things, she didn't even take them. For a while, Guo Shao had the illusion that he was in love, but his mind was still clear: ancient love is by no means casual.

It’s just one more thing, her face has been deliberately and meticulously dressed; the clothes are also new, the upper body is made of light red silk material, narrow sleeves and short jacket, with a floral ribbon, which is called a cloak at this time;

But for Guo Shao, as long as his face is not ugly, he can wear any clothes; what he cares most about is a woman's figure and temperament. At this time, his eyes were quickly attracted by Li Shi's bulging chest... It has been nearly two months since he left Beijing, and he has not known Wenrou for a long time, so it is easy to be aroused.

It was almost October at this time, the weather in Guan was relatively cold, and people wore thicker clothes. At this time, the women had no breast support, and the clothes of the Han people were relatively loose. The breasts that can be supported by several layers of thick clothes will never be too small... Guo Shao doesn't like breasts that are too small. Besides, Li Shi's face is also very beautiful, with a kind of roundness with weak bones and rich muscles. But in terms of figure, Jing Niang is the most exaggerated and alluring, but she deliberately conceals it, and she is usually cold, Guo Shao dare not make mistakes easily.

Stimulated by Li Shi's soft words, he has shamelessly imagined a pair of white and big jade rabbits. At this time, Mrs. Li said softly again: "You can go and get the robe with me... There is a tear in one place, I have already sewed it up for you."

Guo Shao stood still.

Mrs. Li turned her head again and said, "Come on." That tone seemed to be coaxing him and luring him.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, then called Jing Niang: "Help me get that dress."

He was thankful that he was quick-witted and quick-witted, but unexpectedly, Li Shi had an aggrieved face, and said directly: "You have been away from Fengxiang for a total of thirty-two days, I have counted them, it seems like thirty-two years have passed... What is wrong with me, why did you ignore me?"

Guo Shao was speechless, thinking that she is not bad, but Fu Ermei should be better. If you don't have to be responsible, of course both are fine...

At this moment, Jing Niang walked up and said coldly to Mrs. Li: "Don't you want to return the clothes? Are you still paying?"

Such a cold sentence made Li Shi suddenly stunned, maybe she realized that there was a woman beside Guo Shao. It's not that Jingniang is not easy to be noticed by others, she is taller, not a person who is easily overlooked; it's just that she didn't say a word before, as if she didn't care, Li Shi really didn't want to care about her.

Instead of confronting Jingniang, Li took Jingniang back to the house to get things in frustration.

So Guo Shao and Jing Niang went to the guest room on the other side one after the other. Jing Niang threw his clothes on the bed and was about to leave, she couldn't help turning her head and said, "Why don't you accept Li Jia Niang's kindness?"

Guo Shao pondered for a while, then asked, "Master Jing, have you ever heard of Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yeah." Jing Niang responded casually, standing there just waiting for him to say something more.

Guo Shao sighed, and continued to say: "Xuanzang is an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, so he is called Tang Seng. Tang Seng went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures. According to legend, he passed through eighty-one difficulties along the way. I don't think all of them are difficult, some are dangerous, and some are temptations. The monsters on the road heard that eating Tang Seng's meat can make him immortal, so many monsters want to harm him...But some female fairies just fell in love with him, lust|temptation, and there is also a queen of the Daughter Kingdom, who enjoys endless glory and wealth. Because of her beauty, I wanted Tang Seng to stay and share the country with her. But in the end Tang Seng was unmoved."

Jing Niang listened carefully, and said: "It's the first time I've heard such strange talk about Xuanzang's going to Tianzhu. Then why didn't he be moved? Do you want to say that he sees through the red dust, that all things are empty?"

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "After Tang Monk read the scriptures, he can become a Buddha. Compared with such good things as becoming a Buddha and living the same life as the sun and the moon, the beautiful emperor of the Daughter Kingdom is not worth mentioning. So those temptations can't tempt him at all."

"Has Xuanzang become a Buddha?" Jingniang became more and more curious.

Guo Shao nodded and said: "It is said in the legend that if you take back the scriptures and save all living beings, benefit the living beings, and then you will become famous and become a Buddha. All are happy endings."

Jingniang understood, she nodded as if she had realized something, and then shook her head: "What does that have to do with your rejection of Li Jianiang? What do you want to achieve, just like Xuanzang who attained Taoism and became a Buddha?"

Guo Shao felt that this "holy aunt" was not a threat in the past few months, but she was not someone who could be trusted unconditionally... He didn't tell anyone about the queen's promise, not even Yang Luo and other brothers.

Besides, Jingniang has completely ignored Zhao Kuangyin recently, and even ignored the Taoist affairs, and came to follow her... Guo Shao can probably guess that he is responsible for ruining her innocence, but how exactly does she want herself to be responsible? Guo Shao doesn't believe that Jingniang is willing to be a concubine.

So he said casually: "You will understand in the future."
