Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Changan Twelve Hours (Complete Collection)!

Under this situation, Khan was actually whimsical, wanting to provoke Datang in Chang’an. From the perspective of right killing, this is simply self-defeating. However, he did not bother to persuade him, but instead invited Ying to come to Changan for command.

Anyway, the Turks will perish sooner or later, it is better to take the opportunity to sell a good price. These Wolf Guards are the best chips.

The original idea of ​​right killing was to turn to Datang. However, the imperial court’s attitude was unpredictable, and the right kill did not dare to take risks. Soon he contacted a better buyer and got a price that was absolutely satisfactory to him and an amazing plan.

What is that plan, right kill does not care. He just urged him to perform every step as requested by the other party. This is a huge bargain. Turks will pay the cost and bear the price, and all the benefits will be obtained by himself. Those sad wolf guards, I am afraid they will not know what they are doing until death.

No way, who let them be Wolf Guards and kill themselves right? Handi said how to say, those who work hard rule people, those who work hard rule people. It is really a famous saying.

Thinking of this, the right kill grinned and burst into a dry laugh in the empty bedroom. Now that the agreement has been completed, the right kill burns the last document from the Wolf Guard and throws away everything related to the Turks.

Now everything is ready. Next, just wait for the other party to deliver. Then he can go wherever he wants and live any life he wants.

Right Kill threw Jun Furnace in the corner, returned to the middle of the bedroom, and sat back in front of the case. In addition to the scriptures, candlesticks, and the short knife with Cao Poyan’s hair cut out on the table, there is also a ceramic capricorn-shaped hip flask and matching glass cups-they are not typical of the Turkic style, so they are spared .

The right kill filled himself with a glass of bright red **** Western wine, shaking slightly. Through the lights outside, he could see the sparkling amber color in the glass.

The old man raised his glass and muttered to himself, feeling that he should have a drink for his future good life.

The fine dog shrugged his nose, searching back and forth among the rubble of Changming Square. Yao Ru could hold it restlessly, looking out from time to time.

There was a crack-like stepping song on the other side of the wall, accompanied by bursts of applause, one after another. The loud sound alone is already full of temptation. If you can climb over the wall to see it, I am afraid that the picture will be several times more exciting.

But Yao Ru could not take care of this, he was full of anxiety at this time. First, the search was delayed and there was no result, and it was entrusted by Zhang Duwei; second, I did n’t know how Jing Anji checked it. The remnants of the Turks were not caught for a while, and Changan was not.

The fine dog suddenly raised his neck and barked loudly.

Yao Ru was able to squat down with a wry smile, rubbing the neck hair of the fine dog. It was the third time he screamed at the well. When searching the scene, the brigade army had noticed that the well was covered with stones. After moving away, it looked inside, but there was nothing. This time Yao Ru was able to lead the dog, and repeatedly probed into it to see, there was nothing unusual.

Why has this dog been entangled? Stubborn temper is really like Zhang Duwei.

This disrespectful thought came out, Yao Ru could happily laugh, and thought not to let Zhang Duwei know. He got up and patted the soil on his body. Since the search was fruitless, it would be better to go back earlier. Zhang Duwei might have a new direction there, and he didn’t want to miss it.

But in this mistaken spirit, the dog took the opportunity to break free of the reins and flew arrows to the edge of the Jingting. Yao Runeng was quite helpless. He walked over to pull it away, but as soon as he approached, he suddenly found something seemed to be biting in the dog’s mouth. Yao Runeng frowned and reached out to find it was a small piece of fabric.

This is a piece of burlap cloth that can be seen everywhere. It is dark and slender. It was ripped off by the crack of Shijingtai.

Yao Ru could see the color of the fabric and the bottom of the dark well, and suddenly his heart moved. He greeted the bad guys nearby, tied his waist with a rope, tied one end to the pavilion column, and then stepped on the little pits that were recessed by the well by his feet.

It was too late at this time, and the bottom of the well was a bit dark. Yao Ru can let the bad guy light a lantern, hang it down slowly, and descend at the same time as himself. He slipped a few times midway, but fortunately the rope prevented him from falling. It was hard to reach the bottom of the well, and Yao Ru was able to take a picture of the lantern with his hand and was surprised.

The ground at the bottom of the well was covered with a layer of dark sackcloth, and a human figure was raised high. Covered by this black cloth, and the sky light has been received, it is no wonder that there is nothing strange at the wellhead. These Turkic people really can hide Tibetans!

Yao Ru could tear open the sackcloth to reveal a comatose woman. He leaned over, sniffing her nose with one hand and holding his shoulder with the other. Unexpectedly, with a light touch, the woman woke up and turned around, and immediately picked up rubble to smash his head. Yao Ru could not be caught off guard and was hit to the forehead by one blow, his teeth were sore with pain.

Fortunately, this woman’s strength is limited, so as not to smash people. Yao Runeng grabbed her wrist with one hand and explained loudly: “We are Jing Ansi, you are now safe.” Then he busyly showed a waist card from his waist.

The woman was stunned, and Yao Ru could squeeze out a smiley face: “Yes, we are from the mansion.”

The woman cried with a wow and stretched her arms to hug Yao Runeng tightly. Yao Ru can sweat in cold sweat. If this is seen by the people in the palace, he is afraid that he will eat and hang down. But she was estimated to be terrified and would not let go anyway. Yao Runeng had no choice but to let her hug him, and the man who called the wellhead added a rope and dragged the two people down the well.

It took a lot of trouble to get up and down, and finally dragged the two out of the wellhead. Yao Ru couldn’t help seeing her except that she was over frightened, and she was relieved.

“Miss Wang Yunxiu, please return to Jing’an Division with us first.” Yao Runeng said respectfully.

The woman looked up blankly, as if she hadn’t slowed down yet. Yao Runeng repeated it again, and the woman woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, “Ah? Are you wrong? I’m not Miss Wang. My name is Wenran.”

Yao Runeng’s complexion turned white.

Once out of Guangdefang, Zhang Xiaojing and Tan Qi were immediately overwhelmed by the noise outside.

Here is close to the West City, there are many rich merchants, in order to promote their own companies, all stolen enough to compete. If you are three feet tall, I will be five feet tall; if you stick a lamppost, I will put a flaming phoenix to spread its wings; Hanging five strands of gold and silver pendants, floating like a fairy. Every year, the lantern fight is the fiercest here, and the people gather the most.

At this time, looking around, the square walls on both sides of the avenue in the middle of Guangde and Xishi supported a huge bamboo frame with different shapes, such as a lamp wheel, a tree, a lamp, etc., and many flags of business names were displayed and stretched Miles. Hundreds of thousands of ivory white candles swayed in the air, shining everywhere, dazzling.

These candles are more than two feet long. The children’s arms are thick and thin and placed in a windproof octagonal paper cage. The candle is mixed with spices, and the base is filled with sesame oil, so at the place where the lights are most full, there is often a rich and oily fragrance of candle. When the night wind blows, the city is full of smoke.

Hundreds of people were crowded under the lamp stand. Everyone looked up, looked at the lamp, smelled the fragrance, and pressed a grain of coarse salt under their tongue. This is a custom that has long been popular in Chang’an City: salt people, Yanya; candle people, Shouya. Absorbing the fragrance of a candle can extend the life of one year, auspicious, and the name is called “suction candle life”.

Because of such a tradition, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Chang’an was not congested at first. Most people have to stop under the lamp stand and smoke candle life for a while before starting to wander around—don’t worry, this good night is still growing, and everyone who watches the lanterns is like this.

Knowing this habit, Zhang Xiaojing urged Tanqi to take advantage of this free time, and he would really be stuck in the road even later.

Tanqi ’s riding was good, she gave Zhang Xiaojing a provocative glance: “I can’t control you.” After she finished her horse, her horse jumped forward, one person and one horse, skillfully from two mules Drilled in between, and walked away. The figure was so heroic, he never lost the male.

Zhang Xiaojing was also not annoyed, and followed with a sway of reins, followed by other brigade soldiers.

From Guangdefang to Yiningfang, you need to walk three intersections to the north and two intersections to the west. There are prosperous places along the way, people are crowded, cars are driven by horses, and the pedestrians have almost no chance of turning around. They stopped and walked, and it took a while to reach Yiningfang.

Yining Square is near the west side of the Kaiyuan Gate. Most Hu merchants who cannot enter West City will choose to settle here, so the density of Hu Ji is higher than that of West City. The temples in the square are full of temples with different shapes, which can be regarded as a scene in Chang’an. The Zoroastrian Temple is like a flame and the wall is Zhu Chi; the two ridges on the ridge are the Mani Temple; and at the northwest corner of East Cross Street, there is a stone dome hall with a cross over it. The location of Jing Temple.

At this time, Yining Square was lit up with lights, which was very lively. In the wake of the upsurge of the Lantern Festival, these temples have opened the middle gate, distributed good food, and preached the Dharma. Tourists also took the opportunity to visit inside to see the exotic wonders that they could not see on weekdays.

Zhang Xiaojing and others came to the front of Jingsi Temple. At the door were dozens of Jing monks dressed in white robes. They all smiled, and presented small wooden crosses and hand scrolls to the passing people.

Zhang Xiaojing quietly instructed the men under his command to figure out several entrances and exits of Jingsi, and at least two people were guarded in one place.

Tan Qi asked him, “Are you going to the bishop Chadudie?” She did some homework before, knowing that the principal of Chang’an was called Archbishop in Chang’an, with a status similar to Zoroastrianism. But Zhang Xiaojing shook his head: “This is different from the Zoroastrian situation. We don’t know what identity to kill right. We rush to check it. It’s easy to beat the snake. I have other plans. I need the girl to cooperate.”

Tan Qi was about to ask what was going on. At this time, a white robe king monk had greeted him. He pulled out two crosses: “Two good men, would you like to wear my cross and listen to my lecture?”

He has a high nose and deep eyes. He is not a Central Plains person at a glance, and he is not fluent in Mandarin. Zhang Xiaojing took the string and put it on Tanqi, and then smiled: “My wife dreamed of a golden armor **** with a chest strap and a foot on the lotus flower last night. He said that a great man came to Chang’an and told me to wait. It ’s a good life. We came to the Persian temple today to find a teacher. ”

Tan Qi was shocked, how could this Deng Tuo talk nonsense! But she couldn’t speak in person, froze in place, her face red and white for a while. At this time, Zhang Xiaojing held up her hand: “Ma’am, you have been blessed by the cross, and I have to thank you very much this time.” Tan Qi noticed that there was no tease in Zhang Xiaojing’s eyes, only the cold cold light.

She was awake suddenly. This was not a flirtation, she was doing things. She quickly gathered her shame, and smiled at Jing Seng Yan Yan.

Jing Seng was quite pleased. It was rare that the Tang people were sincere and willing to teach. I thought they would be influenced by this lady of Western origin. This is more rare than offering a few pieces of silk and a few pieces of gold. He asked diligently: “Do you know the name of the great man?”

This time without Zhang Xiaojing’s point, Tan Qi quickly entered a state of his own: “Jinjia Shenren only said that he was not from the Central Plains, and only arrived in Chang’an in recent months.”

They have discussed with Li Mi before, right killing such nobles, it is impossible to lie too long. If he becomes a monk in this Jing Temple, the time should not exceed three months.

Jing Seng frowned and said that the believers I teach include people from places such as Daqin, Toguo, Persia, and others from the Western Regions and even the northern grasslands. This “non-Central Plains” is too broad. Tan Qi quickly said, “Or Sogdian?”

Cao Poyan entered Chang’an as a Sogdian businessman. It was very convenient. There was no reason not to kill the noble.

After thinking for a while, King Seng apologized: “There are too many monks in the temple, and it is not easy to find them at the moment. It is better to come with me first and I will ask other initiates.”

This proposal is in full swing. Zhang Xiaojing and Tan Qi walked side by side, and followed this monk into the temple.

After entering the temple, we first saw an octagonal stone building with a height of more than three feet, with a cross pattern engraved on each side, and the rosette under it. This should be what Cao Poyan called the “cross lotus”. Behind the stone building is a small square square, and the ground is covered with bluestones, which is spotlessly clean. There is a row of Persian stone statues on both sides of the square. At the end is a simple hall with a convex front and a top, and a cross standing high above it.

Compared with the view of Zhongtu Temple, the buildings here are slightly undecorated, simple and plain, and there are no bell towers and drum towers on the left and right. Jing Seng took the two of them for a while, and when they saw a person head-on, they could not help shouting, “Deacon East, it seems here.”

The man is about the same age as Li Bi, with a typical Persian appearance, blue and purple beard, and curly hair, but the facial features are slightly soft, quite like a female. A long buckle in the shape of an olive branch was attached to the left shoulder of his white robe, and his title should be higher than that of Jing Seng.

It is worth mentioning that his eyes-the pupil is large and round, showing a very pure blue color, as if inlaid with two gems.

“This is Deacon Is, and the affairs in the temple are all in his charge. You can ask him big and small things,” Jing Seng warmly introduced to Zhang Xiaojing. Although Yisi is an authentic Hu, Tang Yin is extremely standard. He greeted the couple with a smile, a mellow voice and a graceful manner, which made people unable to help feeling good.

Tan Qi reiterated the search for Dade. Isao palm smiled and said: “In this way, there is indeed an elder from the Western Region. Soon after he arrived in the temple, he was close to what was heard in Madam Zun’s dream.”

He is fluent in Tang dialect, but he always writes sentences in words, which should be learned from the ancient books of the scriptures.

Zhang Xiaojing and Tan Qi glanced at each other, and at the same time said: “I will wait for the Dao to be thirsty, can you ask the deacon to introduce me?” Iss drew a cross on his chest, and smiled gently: “As faithful as possible-but this is called Daqin Temple, Not Persian temple. ”

So Jing Seng returned to the door, and Is personally led the couple to the main hall.

The layout of the Jingsi Temple is very different from the Zhongtu Temple. There is a dome, four-corner pillars, and a cross is enshrined in the center. A man wears a crown of thorns on his head and looks sad.

“I Jingzun Mi Shi pityed the sufferings of the world, came down to the world, guided people to the good, and killed by the great Qinzhou officials. The body was hung on the cross and resurrected in the next three days, it was an immortal miracle.” Say, talking casually about doctrine allusions, the voice buzzing on the dome.

Zhang Xiaojing said suspiciously: “You can kill an official in Jiezhou, why is this Jing Zun so uncomfortable?” Is smiled unchangingly: “Teach the two knows: everything is planned, it is a matter of time. Jing Zun knew that there was one Robbery, wanting to represent the sins of the masses for salvation, is the true law of great compassion and compassion. ”

Tan Qi heard it interestingly, and asked, “Dizang Bodhisattva makes a big wish to spend all evil spirits, **** is not empty, and vowed not to become a Buddha, does this mean something like this?”

“Don’t dare to talk about what he teaches.”

They walked around while chatting, unknowingly bypassing the main hall, and came to a different room in the corner of the hall. The room was low and narrow, divided into two by a dark red wooden wall, and there was an inkstone-sized window on the wall, which was covered with wooden boards.

East said: “This is the room of confession in the monastery. If the believer has done something wrong and has evil thoughts in his heart, he will come here to confess and ask the great deeds to solve the mischief. There is no world, no six ears here, you can speak as you please, no There is a risk of leakage. “Speaking of which, Is deeply honoured:” Since Xianli and Li want to recognize Dad, they naturally come to do a confession? ”

“This is nature.”

East made a gesture of invitation: “Then please Xianli sit in the confession room for a moment, I will call him here.”

The confession room is not large, it is a room about the size of a carriage. The two walked in and hadn’t had time to appreciate the decoration on the inner wall. They only heard the sound of “bang”, and the door was closed, and the room was suddenly dark.

Zhang Xiaojing hurriedly reached out to push, but heard the lock clang, and Is actually locked it out from the outside.

Zhang Xiaojing pushed hard, and the door slammed. At that moment, the small window on the wall was pulled away, and a ray of light came in. Iss ’voice came in from the outside, still so gentle and calm:“ The two may wish to confess their crimes. ”

Zhang Xiaojing said angrily: “You monks! My husband and wife sincerely admire, how dare we imprison us!”
