Yaoying came out of the meditation room and went back to the yard.
The personal soldiers came forward and saluted, and told her about the past two days. They acted according to her orders. People in and outside the city strictly followed the rules, and no one caused trouble.
Xie Chong clasped his fists and said, "Princess, after the situation in the city has settled down, the Beirong embassy handed over the letter of credentials and can't wait to leave. I heard that Wang Ting has released him. Xie Yan just sent a message back, asking him what to do next. ."
Sitting in front of the desk, Yaoying frowned and thought, tapped her fingers twice, and said, "Let him find a way to continue to follow Zhu Luyun and adapt accordingly."
Xie Chong should say yes and quit.
Yaoying lowered her head to write a letter, a shadow shrouded her, Xie Qing walked to the desk, sat down cross-legged, stared straight at her, expressionless.
She smiled, then wrote, and asked, "Aqing, how is your injury?"
Xie Qing said, "It's just a few scratches."
After speaking, he continued to stare at her, his face tense.
Yaoying stopped writing, "Aqing, what do you want to tell me?"
Xie Qing looked at her and said, "The princess slept in the Buddha's meditation room for two nights."
Yaoying nodded, "It's an extraordinary move. Now that it's all right, I'll be back."
Xie Qing frowned lightly: "Princess, why did Minister Wang Ting think of kidnapping you to threaten the Buddha's son?"
Yaoying lowered her head and said while writing a letter, "They all regard me as a modern girl who is a Buddhist son. General Ashina mentioned to his subordinates that he would send more people to protect me, but his subordinates thought I was It's as important as Princess Chima, so I decided to take advantage of the fact that the additional manpower has not arrived yet."
Whenever the situation in the city is turbulent, Bi Suo will protect Princess Chima. This time Bi Suo and his subordinates mentioned that they want to protect her, and the minister of the royal court will think of taking her away.
Xie Qing still had no expression on his face, and asked, "Princess, does the Buddha know that you have no love for him?"
Yaoying smiled, "Of course the Master knows."
Tammaraka never believed her nonsense from the beginning.
Xie Qing was silent for a while, then said: "Princess, you and the Buddha have been in the same room for the past two days... You are young and beautiful..."
Yaoying guessed what she was going to say, she was stunned, she laughed dumbly, and cut off her words, "Aqing, don't worry, the Master is a master monk who has the world in his heart, he is not tainted by vulgarity, and there is no distinction between men and women in his eyes."
How noble is Tamara, she is no different from Yuanjue and Prajna in his eyes, how could he have such thoughts
Xie Qing was speechless.
Yaoying wrote the letter and put down her pen, "Aqing, you never care about this kind of thing, why did you think of telling me this today?"
With Xie Qing's temperament, not to mention that she is forced to live in the same room with Tan Mo Luojia now because of her safety, even if she raises ten or eight face heads, drinks wine every day, or deliberately seduces monks, Xie Qing The eyelids don't even blink.
Xie Qing said: "Princesses from all countries have come to the holy city and sent people to inquire about your deeds. There are more and more rumors in the city, and I have heard some."
Listening to her tone, those rumors are definitely not good words.
Yao Ying pondered for a moment, "It's all because of me that it has affected the reputation of the mage."
She lost her mind for a while and handed the letter to Xie Qing.
"Aqing, I have taught you to read military books and learn your skills from the generals of Wang Ting. What have you learned?"
Xie Qing replied: "I learned some things about arranging troops and marching discipline."
"How did you learn?"
Xie Qing thought about it and said, "I can memorize the military book the princess gave me, but I have never fought in actual combat, so I dare not say that I have learned it."
Yaoying nodded, "It's easy to talk about soldiers on paper and talk about the road, but it's different on the battlefield."
Xie Qing held the handle of the knife in his hand, raised his head and stood up straight.
"Princess, my family has served the Xie family from generation to generation since the great-grandfather, and the children of the family have followed the son to the battlefield from generation to generation. Although I have not been able to inherit the family education, as long as the princess gives an order, I can go to the battlefield immediately!"
Yaoying's heart is full of heat, and she hums.
"Aqing, you should personally send this letter to Yang Qian, bring Xie Chong and the others, and set off immediately. Yang Qian should have already received the letter sent by Xinying, and he will be waiting for you near Yangma City."
She kept her face straight and bowed to Xie Qing.
"Aqing, we have experienced a lot during our exile, as you can see. If we want to return to the Central Plains, we will have to fight Beirong in the future. You must follow Yang Qian to practice."
Xie Qing stood up, returned a military salute to Yaoying, and received the letter, but there was still no expression on his face, but a strange look was burning in his eyes, and his eyes were firm.
She was born with divine power and her aptitude far surpassed that of her brothers in the family, but her father never taught her the art of war, just because she was a woman, she could not kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Now, she has to fight for her princess and herself.
Yaoying told Xie Qing: "Yang Qian is brave and loyal, brave and heroic in battle, but he is wild and a little reckless. He always thinks that Beirong people are savage, and they rely on brute force to march and fight, and they don't understand strategy. If you have enough troops, and everyone is not afraid of death, you can easily win. You go to Yangma City and remind him to pay attention to his hidden deeds. It is not easy to recruit rebels. Once they are discovered by the Beirong people, they will be in danger."
Xie Qing should be.
Yaoying summoned other personal soldiers and explained a few things. The personal soldiers took orders and returned to the room to pack their bags.
Xie Peng hesitated and said worriedly: "We're all gone, what about the princess? I'll stay."
Yaoying shook her head: "I have enough people by my side. You all have heavy responsibilities. Be careful and don't act recklessly."
Those who are good at calculating accounts stayed to take care of the accounts, and those who were suitable for business had already gone to the caravan. She carefully selected the candidates, and she kept everyone by her side to protect her, wasting the skills of these soldiers.
She needs escorts, and even more generals who lead the army.
The soldiers responded in unison and left on horseback.
After sending Xie Qing and the others away, Yaoying went back to the house and looked at the account book sent by Lao Qi.
Yaoying put down the account book and greeted her out of the house.
Bi Su smiled at Yaoying, still suave, but there was a deep sadness between her brows, her mind was in a trance, and her blond hair was dimmer than usual.
He came to apologize to Yaoying. Before, his subordinates wanted to kidnap her, but now things have calmed down, and he has dealt with those subordinates.
"I was oversight, please forgive me, princess."
Yaoying signaled that it was all right, and her eyes turned on Bi Suo's face.
"General, are we friends?"
Bi Su grinned, "Of course."
Yaoying looked up at the sky outside the courtyard. The sun was clear, the cliffs in the distance were covered with thick snow, and the sky was as blue as the sea.
"I wonder if the general has time to go horseback riding outside the city to relax?"
Bi Su was stunned for a while, then nodded.
The two rode out of the Wang Temple, and the city was slowly restoring order. The long streets were covered with snow, and the city walls were towering. There was no trace of turmoil.
Out of the city, there is a vast snow field along the road, and the river water has not yet thawed. If it is in the Central Plains, it is the season of spring flowers, and the spring of Wang Ting has not yet arrived, and snow has fallen from time to time these few days.
Yaoying wore a small sleeved robe with a hunting pattern and a veil on her face, and drove her horse up the hillside.
Bi Su followed her.
The personal soldiers were stalked far behind, and the wind roared on the hillside.
Bi Suo stopped and asked, "What does Princess Wenzhao want to talk to me about?"
Yaoying clenched the reins in one hand, closed the veil in the other, and said softly, "General, I am not from the royal court. I am protected by the Buddha, and I am acquainted with the general. Logically, I am just an outsider and should not be involved in the affairs of the royal court."
Bi Su smiled, "I have the same temper as the princess, and the princess doesn't have to meet me."
Yaoying looked at him: "then I won't meet the general."
She changed her words.
"Why didn't the general ask to marry Princess Chima?"
Bi Suo was stunned for a while, with a dazed expression on his face. After a long while, he couldn't help laughing and crying: "Did the princess hear something? The relationship between me and Princess Chima is never like that. Princess Chima is older than me. She treats me as a sister, and she just treats me as a brother."
Yao Ying saw that his words were sincere and did not force him. She frowned lightly and said with a smile, "I misunderstood the general, don't blame the general."
Bi Su waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing wrong.
Yaoying looked at his blue eyes and asked, "General, you don't agree with Buddha's promotion of Zhang Xu?"
Bi Suo shook his head, "No, I understand the king's plan. He has far-reaching plans."
Yao Ying said slowly: "Zhang Xu has made great contributions, so he should be rewarded, otherwise the new military system is just a piece of paper. His promotion will allow more soldiers at the bottom to understand the reform of the military system. The world sees that even the Buddha can be promoted. The morale will definitely be boosted, the remaining soldiers in other towns will also take the initiative to surrender, and the family will be scrambling to report on Xue Yanna, and the situation will soon be stabilized..."
She paused for a moment and asked, "The general is loyal to the Buddha, and understands the Buddha's consideration, why did he favor Princess Chima this time?"
Bi Suo smiled bitterly, "Princess Chima was greatly stimulated when she saw the tragic death of her clan, and even if she later avenged her revenge, she still couldn't forget the past. As long as she encountered something related to the Zhang family and the Han people, she would be furious. I can't listen to her, I can only coax her along with her, and when she calms down, the matter will pass, or she will keep making trouble..."
Yaoying concluded: "Princess Chima is irritable and irritable, and she has to be coaxed, but the Buddha will not care about these things. He is rational, calm, and sober, so you advise the Buddha to follow the princess."
Tamara grew up in the expectations of everyone, every step has been carefully considered, he is strong and rational, and he will not make mistakes.
Princess Chima lost her clan and was impatient. Everyone sympathized with her experience and tolerated her.
When there is a conflict between the pair of siblings, Bi Suo and the others often choose to follow Princess Chima, because Tamara is strong enough, and he is a high-ranking Buddhist son, so he doesn't care about these trivial matters.
Bi Su let out a long breath, looking tired.
The hooves of horses stepped on the thick snow, and the soft creaking sound echoed in the wind.
Yaoying patted the horse's neck and said, "General, please forgive me, if something like this happens again, Princess Chima will be provoked next time."
The corner of Bi Suo's mouth twitched, and she smiled bitterly: "She's making trouble, and she hasn't revealed any major incidents. Everyone knows her temper and won't care about her."
Yao Ying didn't speak, she gently pinched the horse's belly and turned the horse's head.
After walking a distance, she turned back and looked at Bi Suo.
"General, what is Princess Chima's heart knot for the Buddha?"
Bi Suo was shocked, and suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were like electricity.
Yaoying met his scrutiny eyes and said slowly: "General, as I see it, Princess Chima hates the Buddha, not because the Buddha stopped her from killing innocent people indiscriminately, she has a heart for the Buddha."
The royal family is declining. If there is no Tan Moraga, Princess Chima can't avenge the clan at all. Her brother is her only support. Why does she hate her brother so much
There must be a reason for this.
Bi Suo's pupils shrank, shock, fear, and suspicion flashed in her eyes.
"What does the princess know?"
His tone was cold.
Yaoying shook her head, "General, I'm new here and I don't know anything, but I can see that the general knows what Princess Chima's heart is."
Bi Su was silent for a long time.
Yaoying looked at him, her eyes calm, and said, "General, you are caught in the middle and you are in a dilemma. You must have difficulties, but if things go on like this, you will not be able to solve the hidden danger."
Bi Suo looked away and asked, "Why did the princess tell me this?"
Yaoying looked at the majestic Wang Temple under the cliff in the distance.
"Because I'm worried about Buddha."
Although Tamaroka probably didn't need her concern at all, she still wanted to do what she could and do something for him.
Bi Su was silent for a longer time this time.
After a long time, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and the confusion that had been entangled in him for the past few days vanished in an instant, and his mood suddenly became brighter.
"Thank you princess for reminding me." Bi Suo said word by word, in a steady tone, "Princess can rest assured, I, Ashina Bi Suo, will always be loyal to the Buddha."
The golden sunlight poured down, and the snow on the cliff reflected streaks of brilliance. He looked at the Wangsi at the foot of the mountain with a firm expression on his face, clear eyes, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his blonde hair flashed dazzlingly.
Yaoying breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The two went down the mountain and returned to the Wang Temple.
Yuanjue was in a hurry, and when he saw them returning together, one tall and handsome, the other bright and beautiful, frowned, and quickly greeted them: "Wang has something to discuss with the general, and we have been waiting for a while."
Bi Suo bid farewell to Yaoying, and immediately turned to go to the Zen room.
Yaoying goes back to the house.
The personal soldier came over and said, "Princess, Lao Qi just had someone send a treasure box over, saying it was a birthday ceremony for the Buddha."
Yaoying's eyebrows moved slightly: "What birthday ceremony?"
The soldier replied: "Buddha's birthday is approaching, and the people who came to pay homage a few days ago filled the road. Now the Buddha has gathered military power, and his prestige is even greater than before, the ministers of the court, the tribal chiefs, and those foreign ambassadors. The minister and the princess wanted to please the Buddha even more. Lao Qi said that the price of the treasures collected by the Persian merchants would definitely increase again! So he started first and collected rare treasures for the princess. What Buddha likes must be a hundred times better than gifts from other princesses!"
Yaoying came to be interested, "What treasure? I'll take a look."
She thought it was enough to send a few sutras, but she didn't think about giving another gift to Tamara. He didn't look like someone who liked birthdays. She asked Yuanjue and Prajna, and they said that every year, many believers came from all over the west to celebrate his birthday, but he was indifferent and would not attend the puja that day.
But Lao Qi and the others didn't think so. They insisted that she should find a rare treasure in the world, so that she could compare the gifts of other princesses.
The personal soldier turned around and went out, and after a while, he came into the house with the treasure box and lifted the lid.
Immediately, a golden light flickered in the room, and treasures floated.
The soldiers looked expectantly.
Yaoying saw the treasure in the treasure box, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
"How many silver coins did Lao Qi spend to buy it?"
The soldiers reported a number.
Yaoying felt a pain in her flesh: when she sold this bronze statue, she only asked for dozens of silver coins! When Lao Qi bought it back, it was actually ten times more expensive!
