Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2588 Xuanzang traveled westward, Daqin expanded his army

Chapter 2584: Xuanzang travels west, Daqin expands the army

Regarding Xuanzang's request, although Ying Hao knew it well, he still pretended not to know: "Whom does the master want to borrow?"

Xuanzang folded his hands together and said with a smile: "The sand roller blinds and Zhu Tianpeng who are locked in the sky prison."

Ying Hao said in his heart. Sure enough, although Xuanzang was somewhat fulfilled, he did not try his best to promise him.

"The Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed for many years, and the Yuan family's forces have almost disappeared, so the sand roller shutter is no problem, it's just Zhu Tianpeng..."

If Ying Hao didn't say anything next, Xuanzang knew what he meant.

Zhu Tianpeng was the king of Qi, and now the Qi army is still alive, and he was imprisoned in the sky prison not long ago.

Once Zhu Tianpeng was released from prison, if he ran back to Qi, it would definitely cause trouble for Da Qin to unify the Central Plains.

Although Xuanzang knew this, he knew that Zhu Tianpeng would not be doing the right thing with Da Qin, so he wanted to fight again, so he said:
"Your Majesty, Zhu Tianpeng, and even the most affectionate person, was seriously injured by the person he loves and trusts the most. His heart is already dead, and now he has seen through the red dust, and will not be against Da Qin."

But there was no response from Ying Hao.

Just when Xuanzang was about to lose hope, Ying Hao said, "Master Xuanzang, as long as you agree to my two demands, I will agree to your request."

Xuanzang was overjoyed and asked quickly, "What is the requirement?"

"One is to ensure that Zhu Tianpeng will not be allowed to return to the Ming Kingdom." Ying Hao said.

Xuanzang immediately said: "The poor monk is willing to guarantee his life, and he will not let Zhu Tianpeng return to the Ming Kingdom."

Ying Hao was also completely relieved. It was not that he did not want to believe Xuanzang, but that once Zhu Tianpeng escaped back, the incident would indeed be very troublesome.

With the assurance of the great master Xuanzang, and with Sun Lingming there, even if Zhu Tianpeng wanted to escape, he would not be able to escape.

"As for the second point, you need to..."

Hearing Ying Hao's remarks, Xuanzang's smile gradually subsided, revealing a serious color. He did not expect that Ying Hao would have other tasks for him.

Sun Lingming, the Marquis of Qitian, suddenly became a monk and worshipped Xuanzang of the White Horse Temple as his teacher, which soon caused waves in Luoyang.

Who is Sun Lingming?That was the former general of Da Qin, Marquis Qi Tian, ​​who was second only to Li Cunxiao, the world's number one master, and ranked third in the list of fierce generals.

Such a successful and famous person, but at such a sensitive time, suddenly announced to become a monk, anyone can see that something must have happened.

Some good people suggested that Sun Lingming must have been suppressed by political opponents and chose to become a monk in order to protect himself.

But at this time, the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, Ren Hongchang became the only queen, and his son Ying Sheng also became the crown prince. Who could suppress Sun Lingming?

Just when people were thinking wildly, Daqin officials explained in the official newspaper that the reason why Sun Lingming became a monk was because of the fall of his fiancee Zixia.

Zixia and Sun Lingming were childhood sweethearts, and they were emotionally behind, but Zixia died at the hands of assassins in order to protect the prince, and Sun Lingming suffered a major blow, so he became a monk.

The emperor, the queen, the major generals of the Ming Dynasty and others have persuaded them, but it was useless. Sun Lingming was determined to become a monk, and no one could persuade him.

After learning the reason for Sun Lingming's ordination, the people's voice became more boiling, and the spies of other countries lurking in Luoyang also spread the news of Sun Lingming's ordination.

In this regard, the monarchs of various countries also have different thoughts.

Who would have thought that the dignified third-ranking general in the world would be so affectionate with his sons and daughters that he would give up everything just because of one woman.

If the other generals of Da Qin were also so vulnerable, then they would have peace of mind, just send assassins to assassinate the woman they love, but this is obviously impossible.

For all countries, it is naturally a good thing for Sun Lingming to become a monk. After all, the Daqin general lacks a top combat power.

But thinking about it, even without Sun Lingming, Yang Jian surrendered to Daqin, and Yang Jian's strength is not weaker than Sun Lingming.

For any other country, the lack of a Sun Lingming's level of combat power will definitely greatly affect the military's combat power, but it will not have much impact on Da Qin.

After all, there are too many fierce generals in Daqin. Even without Sun Lingming, there are still many fierce generals such as Li Cunxiao, Jiang Song, Kong Xuan, Yang Jian, Lu Bu, etc. Without any one, it will not have much impact.

If you really want to say that the absence of a certain person will have a major impact on Da Qin, I am afraid that there is only the emperor Ying Hao.

----------

Seven days later, Chen Xuanzang, Sun Lingming, Zhu Tianpeng, and Sha Shulian were ready to set off westward to the Roman Empire.

It was also during this period that Xuanzang accepted Zhu Tianpeng as the second disciple, gave the Dharma title Wu Neng, accepted the sand rolling curtain as the third disciple, and gave the Dharma title Wu Jing.

Knowing that the four of Xuanzang were going on the road, Ying Hao naturally came to see them off in person. After all, Xuanzang had a special mission on his trip.

Xuanzang's four people were all light and simple, with nothing else except clothes, dry food and horses.

Sun Lingming still brought his own weapons and horses, while Xuanzang, Zhu Tianpeng, and Sha Shulian were all bare-handed, not to mention weapons, and even their mounts were just ordinary war horses.

When Ying Hao saw this, he immediately said: "Master Xuanzang, when we go to Rome, we have to pass through dozens of countries such as Kuishan, Anxi, Dawan, and Dayuezhi. Weapon self-defense is not enough.

Come on, lift it up. "

As soon as the words fell, the six guards carried three divine weapons, one shovel, one rake and one stick;
The first two are the weapons originally used by the sand roller blinds and Zhu Tianpeng.

As for the last Zen stick, it has an extraordinary origin. According to legend, it was used by the Tianzhu monks when they entered the Central Plains a hundred years ago, so it was named the Nine Ring Tin Staff by Ying Hao.

Xuanzang caressed the nine-ringed tin staff lightly, his eyes couldn't stop liking it, but the ninety-nine and eighty-one-jin Zen staff seemed to be nothing in his hands.

After the sand roller blind took the crescent shovel, there was also a flash of nostalgia in his eyes. Only Zhu Tianpeng took over his weapon indifferently, and there were no waves in his eyes.

When Ying Hao saw that the four of them had magic weapons, he couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction, and then he said, "This trip to Rome is thousands of miles away, so how can we go without a good horse, come and bring the horse here."

Three more horses were brought up.

The two black and yellow BMWs were given to Zhu Tianpeng and Sand Roller Curtain respectively.

Ying Hao pointed at a steed white horse and said, "This horse is the offspring of my mount, the Snow Dragon Colt, and it is also the purest horse among the descendants of the Snow Dragon Colt. I named it the White Dragon Horse and gave it to me as a gift. Master Xuanzang, please go on your way, I hope Master can return as soon as possible."

As soon as Xuanzang saw the white dragon horse, he knew that it was a famous horse that traveled thousands of miles a day. Even if it was placed at the Luoyang horse racing field, it could not be bought for ten thousand gold, because it was not measured by money at all.

Xuanzang was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Ying Hao said again: "Bring the brocade cassock, purple gold bowl, and customs clearance together."

The three guards each held a cassock, a bowl, and an ultimatum, and then displayed them one by one for Xuanzang.

"Master Xuanzang, you are not only representing yourself in this trip to the west, but also the face of my Daqin and the whole of the East. You can't let Westerners look down on it."

Having said that, Yinghao ordered someone to replace the cassock with Xuanzang, and said, "This brocade cassock has seven treasures embedded on it. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Looking at this gorgeous and disrespectful cassock, Xuanzang was completely stunned. He had never seen such a precious cassock before.

"This purple-gold bowl is a national treasure of a certain country in Dongying, and it is of great value, so let's give it to the master for alms."

The corners of Xuanzang's mouth twitched when he looked at the purple-gold bowl made of gold and hardware.

How can anyone use a golden bowl as a beggar?

Xuanzang had originally planned to keep a low profile for this trip, so he would go as early as possible and return as early as possible.

But looking at the things that Ying Hao gave, the white dragon horse, the nine-ring tin stick, the brocade cassock, and the purple-gold bowl, these four treasures are all worth thousands of gold, how could it be possible to wear them in a low-key manner.

But it doesn't matter, the big deal is that he puts it away, the wealth is not revealed, and it is fine if he does not need to wear it.

Ying Hao didn't realize what was wrong, and handed the customs clearance letter to Xuanzang and said: "This is the customs clearance letter, and it is covered with my jade seal, which can prove your identity. With this letter on the road, I want to come to the capitals of all countries along the way. It won't be difficult."

Xuanzang took the ultimatum solemnly, after all, this is the most important thing.

The customs clearance letter, also known as the ancient passport, was the pass for passing through the gates in ancient times.

With this customs clearance document, Xuanzang may not have much effect in West Asia or Europe, but it will definitely be unimpeded in the Western Regions and Central Asia, and the countries along the way will definitely give Daqin face. Treat them well.

After sending Xuanzang out of Luoyang, Ying Hao went back to the mansion, and Xuanzang's four talents walked less than ten miles, but they met a large group of people who came to send Sun Lingming off.

In addition to Li Cunxiao, Jia Fu, Yuwen Chengdu and other generals who had a good personal relationship with Sun Lingming, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty in Luoyang came, including Zhang Liang, Feng Yunshan, Yue Xi, Li Jin, Zhong Limei, Liao Hua, Guan Hai , Gong Du, etc.

As for Sun Lingming's old boss Long Qie, as well as generals such as Yu Ziqi and Long Yang, they were unable to come to see them off because of their positions abroad.

Zhang Liang patted Sun Lingming on the shoulder and said, "Zixia has a queen, and we have people to take care of, so you can rest assured."

Seeing the encouraging eyes of his comrades-in-arms, Sun Lingming's heart was full of emotion. After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, he went on the road with Xuanzang without looking back.

After another twenty miles, a man and a woman blocked the way.

When Zhu Tianpeng saw the person coming, his face suddenly turned ugly, because the man was Dugu Qiuwei, and the woman was Chang'e.

Dugu's defeat was also heartbroken for Chang'e. He really regarded this apprentice as his daughter, otherwise Chang'e would have been ignored.

Seeing Chang'e standing still, Dugu begged for defeat: "Go, don't you have something to say to your righteous brother?"

Hearing this, Chang'e plucked up the courage and walked over, but Zhu Tianpeng ignored it and ignored Chang'e, the woman he once loved the most.

Seeing this, Xuanzang smiled and gave Dugu Qiufei and Chang'e an expression of helplessness, then led the horse and fell onto it, and said to Zhu Tianpeng:
"Wu Neng, don't you care about this righteous sister the most, don't you listen to what she wants to say to you?"

Zhu Tianpeng said blankly: "No, I have let go of everything in the past, no matter what she says, I don't care."

As soon as the voice fell, Chang'e's shout came from behind: "Brother Tianpeng, I'm sorry."

Zhu Tianpeng's body was shocked when he heard the words, and there was a line of clear tears in the corner of his eyes, but he still did not stop.

The sand roller blind looked at Zhu Tianpeng, who clearly did not put it down, but was duplicitous, and at Sun Lingming, who gave up everything for love, and couldn't help sighing: "The word love hurts the most." Feeling a little bitter.

Whether it is the master, the senior brother, or the second senior brother, someone has come to send them, they all have concerns in this world, only they are alone, and there is no one close to them anymore.

Xuanzang seemed to feel the emotions of the sand roller blinds, and smiled: "Wu Jing, keep up, don't fall behind, you must enter Guanzhong within three days."

The sand roller blinds instantly recovered, looked at Xuanzang with a concerned look, and said with a smile, "Yes, master."

----------

The departure of Xuanzang and the other four had no impact on Da Qin, but Ying Hao faced an important decision at this time, that is, whether to expand the army.
