Travel Notes of Tianlong

Tang Hao's massacre in Tianlong Temple began. Those members of the Lotus Sect with low martial arts skills were completely vulnerable. In the blink of an eye, only the Golden Lion Dharma King, his three personal followers, and the Grand Master Maharin Ming were left.

"Owner! Wait a minute!"The winner has been decided, Master Benyin, the abbot of Tianlong Temple, quickly stopped him,"Oh? What advice does the master have?"Tang Hao originally wanted to clean up the golden lion and just keep the imperial master, but now that the master has spoken, Tang Hao still has to give face to the visitor.

"The owner of the village has extraordinary skills, and I would like to thank you here. However, there have been enough killings today, so it is better to let the Tibetan monks leave because of Lao Na's pity."Speaking of which, with Tang Hao's intervention, the relationship between Dali and Tubo has been forged. Regardless of whether all those monks can return to the country, Dali will definitely face Tubo's revenge in the future.

But whichever is the lesser of two evils, After all, the Golden Lion Dharma King and the Tubo Imperial Master are still intact. As long as these two heavyweights are fine, there is still room for change.

"The poor monk also wants to ask the owner of the village to be more generous and not to kill everyone." I am afraid that the original Baoding Emperor Benchen Master also thought of this.

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as you figure it out," Tang Hao was originally just angry that the Lotus Sect ignored his warning. As for helping Tianlong Temple to rescue the siege, it was just a matter of convenience, and those political issues were not something he needed to consider.

""His Holiness," seeing that Tang Hao had no objection, Ben Yin looked at the frightened golden lion,"Today, your sect is exchanging martial arts with our Tianlong Temple. We don't want the people in our temple to take excessive action and cause casualties. I will compensate you for this." The temple has to shoulder the responsibility, I wonder if it is okay?"Ben Yin's proposal is very clear. Don't elevate this matter to a conflict between countries and just treat it as a sectarian discussion. In this way, the harm to both of them can be reduced a lot.

"I...I know," Jin Shi came back to his senses and looked at the corpses of his classmates on the ground. At this time, he couldn't help but say no.

"The monastery will take care of the burial of your sect members, so the Dharma King can leave on his own." This is because the abbot issued an eviction order.

"Imperial Preceptor, please stay." These people from Tubo are not monolithic. Tang Hao made a speech and kept the Imperial Preceptor. The golden lion had been frightened to death. At this time, he didn't want to know why Wu Feng kept people."Does the village owner want to talk to the young monk or kill the young monk?"On the other hand, the Tubo Imperial Master was very calm.

"Please wait a moment." Tang Hao turned around and explained some things to the masters and sworn brothers of Tianlong Temple. Basically, he asked them to go back to the temple to rest first, and by the way, he invited Senior Xiao out so that Tang Hao could come to treat him later.

After everyone retreated , , Tang Hao looked at King Dalun Ming again,"Master, please take a step to speak," and then jumped up high to find a quiet place.

"This place is very good, Imperial Master, just stay here." After finding a quiet place in the temple, Tang Hao stopped.

"What does the village owner want to say to the young monk?"The Tubo Imperial Preceptor has confirmed that Tang Hao will not kill anyone.

"Imperial Master, you must not have come to Dali this time out of your original intention." Based on Tang Hao's understanding of him, the old grudges accumulated over the years will definitely not be easily reconciled."Exactly, the young monk came in the name of Zanpu."The Imperial Master didn't hide it either.

"I don’t want to inquire about your country’s national affairs, but I can probably guess about 70% or 80% of it," Tang Hao said, clasping his hands behind his back,"The state master already knows what happened to the Murong family. I went to Yanziwu in Suzhou a few days ago, and the place was already in a mess. It can be seen that the father and son must be planning some bigger plan."

"oh?"The imperial master showed a puzzled look.

"They have long planned to unite Tubo, Xixia, Liao and their so-called Great Yan Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty." Tang Hao continued his words,"But I don't want their conspiracy to succeed, so I hope to make a good deal with the national division. Deal, how about I help you destroy the Lotus Tantric Sect, and the national master will explain the interests to your royal family and eliminate the military conflict?"

Tang Hao's proposal at this time was very attractive to the Imperial Preceptor. As a country with the integration of politics and religion, the Tubo royal family was very willing to respect the Imperial Preceptor's opinions. However, due to his status, the Tubo royal family now The National Preceptor cannot openly suppress the imminent Lotus Tantric Sect in the country.

Originally, the Lotus Tantric Sect only made some small moves in the dark, but this time they did not know which force got the opportunity to talk directly with the royal family, and as soon as they appeared on the stage, they As the special envoy of Zanpu, this made the Great Wheel Ming King feel that the crisis was approaching.

At this time, the plan proposed by Tang Hao was in line with the national master's wishes,"Master, you came to our country specifically to target the Lotus Tantric Sect. It's a good thing for the little monk, but no matter whether it's openly or secretly, the little monk can't help you, you can only rely on yourself."In the final analysis, it is the identity of the national master that prevents him from acting entirely according to his heart.

"It doesn't matter, if the National Master agrees, I alone will be enough. The National Master only needs to tell me how far I can go, whether to completely destroy the Lotus Sect or to give them a chance."Of course Tang Hao doesn't need any extra help.

""Destroy its leader and leave the rest to the little monk." It would be a waste to completely eliminate the Lotus Sect. After all, after decades of operation, this Tantric Sect already has a certain popular base in Tubo. Instead of destroying it, it is better to eliminate the Baolian Sect and its sects. important people, and then reap the benefits

""It's just," the national master didn't hide it,"the young monk can agree to the village owner's proposal, but the young monk cannot guarantee whether our country's Zanpu will listen to the advice.""

"It doesn’t matter, I really don’t blame the Imperial Master for not listening to the advice." Tang Hao didn’t care whether the other royal family listened or not,"It’s just that he will inevitably break up with the Imperial Master in the future."

"The young monk will definitely try his best." Of course, the Imperial Master could understand the meaning of Tang Hao's words. He would definitely try his best to persuade the royal family for the sake of the stability of the country.

"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good," Tang Hao laughed,"National Master, please help yourself, we will see you later."

After that, Tang Hao jumped up and headed towards the Main Hall.

""Boy, you came too soon," Senior Xiao was already waiting in the hall,"Masters, thank you very much. I will take my foster father's pulse first.""Tang Hao simply said hello and started his diagnosis and treatment.

"The meridians are intact, but foster father," Tang Hao hesitated before he spoke. He looked at Brother Xiao and finally decided to tell the truth,"Father, your previous serious illness has reached a point where it has to be treated because of this injury."

"Serious illness?"Although Brother Xiao felt that there was something strange about his father, he really didn't know it was so serious."Brother, please cure your father.""

"This is natural, but I need my adoptive father to think carefully and make up my mind." Tang Hao had said before that Senior Xiao's injuries could be cured, but he had to give up all his skills.

"……"After a while of silence,"Humph! Come on!" Senior Xiao finally made up his mind,"Son, if my father can no longer help you, it will be up to you to take revenge on the old thief Murong and his family from now on! Boy, come on!" Senior Xiao has no regrets about being able to recognize his son in his later years, so what does it matter if he gives up this skill?

"Some masters would like to borrow the Zen room in your temple. Is it possible? Tang Hao asked Abbot Benyin,"It is up to the owner of the village to do what he wants. Our temple is also destined to lay Buddhist Xiao, so we should do our best.""In recent days, Senior Xiao has been staying in the temple and had a great time chatting with several masters. In the process of listening to the profound Buddhist teachings of the masters, Senior Xiao's anger was relieved a lot. He felt calm for the first time in many years. I felt so relaxed.

An hour later, Tang Hao supported Senior Xiao and walked out of the meditation room together,"Dad, how do you feel? Brother Xiao hurriedly greeted him,"Hahahaha, your father and I feel so comfortable for the first time in many years, and my body feels a lot lighter.""Senior Xiao said loudly,"I have to thank your sworn brother for his wonderful rejuvenation!"

Tang Hao smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't have to be so polite."It's just that my foster father's martial arts will no longer be able to be used in the future." He added,"Brother, why don't you ask Abbot Benyin to make it easier for you to let your foster father go?" Staying here for a long time?"

"As long as Master Xiao is willing, Lao Na and all the junior brothers will naturally be welcome."Because the abbot had also arrived at this time, he readily agreed to the matter.

"Son, my father is old, and it is no longer my father's place to intervene in matters in the world. It would be great to be taken in by Master Abbot now." Before Brother Xiao could respond, his old father took the lead and agreed.

Although he was a little reluctant, when he thought that his father had been wandering for half his life without a fixed place and finally found a home in his old age, Brother Xiao said nothing more.

"Dad, when the child returns to the Liao Kingdom, he will resign from his position and go into seclusion." Brother Xiao knelt in front of his father,"Hahaha, my father doesn't care about your affairs, I'll let you decide for yourself."Senior Xiao really has a sense of seeing through the world of mortals.

"Two of you! Please return to the palace quickly. Your Majesty has something to discuss with you."While Tang Hao was treating Senior Xiao, the servant sent by Emperor Shangyi had been waiting for a long time.

"oh? Tang Hao became puzzled,"Then let's go back quickly. There are several masters here who will be fine. The foster father only needs to rest for a day or two.""It must be unusual for the emperor to send someone to summon the two brothers. The two brothers followed the eunuch back without hesitation.

""You two, I already know about Tianlong Temple. Thank you for your help." When they came to the emperor's study, Emperor Dali first expressed his gratitude to them,"I have a letter here for you to share your thoughts after reading it.""

After that, Emperor Shangyi personally handed the letter to Tang Hao. The content of the letter was actually written by the Xixia Emperor himself. The general content was that the envoy was on his way, and the Xixia delegation would visit His Majesty the Dali Emperor in three days.

"Xixia sent someone to visit," Tang Hao thought for a moment,"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but it is probably related to the fact that the Murong family and his son wanted to unite the four countries to attack the Song Dynasty. As for Xixia's intention, it may be slightly better than Tubo."

Indeed, compared to Tubo who sent two domestic tantric masters to join forces without authorization, Xixia at least sent letters first and then sent envoys to inform the Dali royal family, which seemed less aggressive.

"What does His Majesty want us to do? Brother Xiao said straightforwardly,"I will never launch a meaningless war. Dali will not participate in the attack on Song Dynasty in any way, so I hope that the two of you can become formal allies of Dali.""Whether he is the sworn brother of the prince or the future husband of the princess, they are only personal relationships. If they form an alliance in the name of the country, the identities of these two people will be even more different.

"I have no problem, it was originally to stop the unrealistic plan of the father and son," Tang Hao readily agreed.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the stability of the lives of the people in the world, Xiao will never look back!"Brother Xiao had no reason to refuse.

Three days later, the Xixia delegation arrived to pay homage to the Emperor of Dali. Tang Hao mingled with the crowd and saw that the leader of the Xixia delegation turned out to be General Helian, who had some friendship with his other identity. After the grand welcome ceremony, the delegation was first arranged to rest in the post house. The formal talks will begin the next day.

"General, do you still remember me?"That night, Tang Hao disguised himself as He Weifeng and came to meet General Helian in his room."Hey, Mr. He is here too." The code name of"He Weifeng" in the Yipin Hall was Mr. Shu, but General Helian knew it very well. Who is Mr. Shu’s identity, but this identity is also fake?

"I have some trivial matters to take care of in Dali." Tang Hao casually made up a reason to excuse himself,"I wonder if the general can inform me of the purpose of this trip?"

"Hahaha, naturally I came to Dali to attack the Song Dynasty together," the general laughed,"If the emperor is unwilling to join, I don't mind joining forces with Tubo to destroy his Dali Kingdom first!"

"oh? The general is so confident?"Tang Hao felt that the other party did not mean what he said. With Xixia's national strength, it is not that easy to conquer the city. Even if they win over Tibet, they still can't rest assured that Daliao in the north

"Since the death of the concubine and His Majesty taking power, the radical faction in the Xixia court has become active." General Helian looked worried,"The original strategy of encroaching step by step is now scorned by them."

"Well..." Tang Hao pondered for a while,"Then what does the general want?"By observing General Helian's performance, Tang Hao believed that he was not willing to change his original policy.

But General Helian did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around to confirm that no one was there, and then looked at Tang Hao and said. ,"Sir, Xixia cannot afford to fight. Those radicals don't care about the end. If the Liao Kingdom takes advantage of the emptiness in our country to invade in a large scale, our country will have no power to resist at all.""

Now, the Liao Kingdom outside the Pass is the most powerful. Under the leadership of Liao Emperor Yelu Zhengde, hundreds of thousands of troops can be assembled at will. However, even if the other countries put their entire country's troops together, they can't compete with the Liao Kingdom. War.

This is one of the reasons why Tang Hao thinks that the Murong family father and son are whimsical. There are many examples of people who rebelled against tigers and were injured by tigers. Taking a step back, even if they really defeated the Song Dynasty, who can guarantee that the remaining Can Daliao, the only powerful country, easily restore the Yan Dynasty hundreds of years ago?

"I understand the general's thoughts. Is there anything I can do to help the general?"Tang Hao asked simply

"I always believe that the former concubine’s strategy is most suitable for the development of Xixia Cunguo," General Helian set the tone,"It’s just that this time I am going to Dali as an envoy, I need to give an explanation to the country. Sir, you have a special status. If you can, please give me a private explanation for this. A message from the Emperor of Dali"

"So what does the general need from me? Tang Hao asked,"This is a secret letter written by His Majesty. The Emperor of Dali will know it at a glance.""General Helian took out a bamboo pipe from his arms and handed it to Tang Hao.

"oh? Repairing the plank road openly and secretly visiting Chen Cang? Tang Hao said casually,"It's just that the general is not afraid that he will not be able to explain to those radicals after returning to China?""

"Hahaha, bird! How can I, those bastards, be afraid of them? It’s just that being an official in the same dynasty makes it hard to break up, but it doesn’t matter if you look at someone carelessly." General Helian drank a large glass of wine in one gulp,"But I don’t know that Your Majesty can withstand it. How long will it take for them? I hope Mr. can eradicate the scourge as soon as possible."

"It’s a deal!"Of course Tang Hao doesn't believe that the other party doesn't doubt his identity at all, but usually such cooperation that puts profit first is very reassuring.
