After pondering for a moment, the old monk raised his head, looked at Nanzhao Hou Wu Kuang, and said: "Okay. I promise you, from today onwards, I in Futu Temple will be willing to ride for the Marquis. If the Marquis aspires to be crowned the Nine-Five Supreme Lord one day,

Please remember the promise you made to me today."

"This is natural." Wu Kuang looked at the old monk and laughed loudly: "Congratulations, eminent monk, for making a right choice. The name of the eminent monk will be remembered forever."

"Amitabha." The old monk clasped his hands and said, "My personal honor and disgrace are irrelevant. As long as I can promote Buddhism and save all sentient beings... I will be satisfied."

Wu Kuang looked at the old monk's posture and smiled secretly in his heart. The great monks are indeed hypocritical people. They clearly want to be a bitch, but they still want to build a chastity memorial. But he still said: "I admire the eminent monk and the great virtue."

To show my sincerity, I can order the erection of temples and golden statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva in Nanzhao. At the same time, I will do my best to help Futu Temple spread Buddhism in the hundreds of thousands of mountains in the Miao territory."

"Amitabha, the merits of this act by your Lord are immeasurable," said the old monk.

"Haha...that's right." Wu Kuang said with a smile: "This is all the result of you, eminent monk. Your Dharma is boundless and has inspired me."

The old monk looked at Wu Kuang and said goodbye: "Amitabha, I will take my leave first. Regarding the merits of the Marquis, I will go back and tell everyone in Futu Temple..."

"Okay, eminent monk, walk slowly..." Wu Kuang held his hands in greeting.

"Farewell." The old monk said, turned around and walked towards the air step by step. He was obviously walking in the air, but every step he took seemed to be on solid ground, and he looked very stable.

After the old monk disappeared, the two little maids who had just fainted gradually woke up. At the same time, the twenty-eight stars who had just been hidden in the dark also appeared together, knelt down in front of Wu Kuang, and said respectfully.

: "Subordinates deserve to die."

Wu Kuang looked at the direction in which the old monk was leaving, thinking about the hand he deliberately showed before leaving. He couldn't help but smile, turned around and said, "Everyone, please step back! You cannot guard against a person of this level."

of."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." After the twenty-eight constellations thanked them, they disappeared into the shadows one by one.

"Go and ask the prince to come to the study to see me." Wu Kuang ordered the maid beside him.

…

"My son pays homage to his father." Wu Biran bowed and saluted.

"Get up!" Wu Kuang said calmly.

"Thank you, father." Wu Biran stood up and asked, "I wonder what the father's instructions are when he calls the children here?"

"You wait a moment, Lao Sun should be arriving soon. After he arrives, I will talk to you two." Wu Kuang said.

"Yes." Wu Biran responded, but his heart became serious.

He knew that Lao Sun was his father's counselor and was deeply trusted by his father. Basically, Lao Sun took care of all matters of Nanzhaohou Mansion. And there was no doubt about Lao Sun's ability. He was almost completely responsible for the matters arranged by his father.

He had never made a mistake. It was just that the last time he was in Miao territory, it seemed that Lao Sun went out to do business and returned without success. After returning to Nanzhao, Lao Sun also went to receive his punishment. He had not done anything for several months.

He was summoned by his father, but he never thought that his father would summon Lao Sun again today.

.

Just as Wu Biran was thinking secretly, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps at the door, and then a voice came from outside the door: "The old slave has been ordered to come to see the Marquis."

"Come in." Wu Kuang ordered softly.

"I have met the Marquis and His Highness the Crown Prince." Lao Sun saluted the two of them.

"No courtesy." Wu Kuang said.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Lao Sun said.

Wu Kuang looked at Lao Sun, smiled slightly and said, "In the past few months, I haven't called you here, have you ever complained about me?"

When Lao Sun heard this, he quickly said with fear and fear: "I don't dare. The last time I did something wrong, Situ Buqi escaped smoothly and surrendered to Beiyu. It was the old slave's dereliction of duty. It is rare for the Marquis to be magnanimous, and he only gave the old slave a small punishment and a big warning."

.It’s too late for me to be grateful to Lord Marquis, so how can I dare to feel resentful?”

When Wu Kuang heard this, he did not speak to comfort him, but looked at Lao Sun and said, "As long as you understand my intentions. What happened last time was you. If someone else had made such a mistake, I would definitely punish him severely."

Yes, I am afraid that he will not have the chance to stand in front of me now. It is not because I am alarmist. Do you know that Situ Buqi invested in Beiyu, and how much help Beiyu has added? If it were not for Situ Buqi, I am afraid Beiyu would have stood in front of me.

We are still fighting against each other and are falling into civil strife. But now?"

Wu Kuang threw a scroll to him and continued: "This is the latest news, you can see for yourself. With the help of Situ Buqi, Mu Qiuhuang and Huangkou Xiaoer quickly took control of the entire Beiyu, and Qibei

The Yu army did not suffer losses. Otherwise, the Bei Yu army took this opportunity to swallow up most of Yunjiu's territory in one battle... This is Situ Buqi's ability. This is why I sent you there in person in the first place.

The reason for doing this. You see, the importance of Situ Buqi is far more than that. The old master Situ Changqing has been through three dynasties, and his disciples have countless hometowns. Now, the old master left behind

These lingering shadows will definitely take advantage of that boy in Beiyu. Although Madman Mu is gone, Beiyu can still not be underestimated with Situ Buqi..."

Lao Sun looked at the scroll and listened to Wu Kuang's words. He quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "Because of my mistake, Nan Zhao suffered such a huge loss. I am ashamed of my trust in Lord Hou."

, the old slave deserves to die..."

"Get up." Wu Kuang waved his hand and said: "Since you have already received the punishment you deserve, this matter is over. The reason why I tell you these things is not because I want to continue to punish you.

, but because you have not been in the Hou Mansion these past few months, you don’t know what is happening in the world. I just want you to see this and discuss what I, Nan Zhao, should do next."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." After thanking him again, Old Sun continued to look at the scroll.

After a long time, Lao Sun raised his head, looked at Wu Kuang and said: "Master Hou, now that Beiyu has captured half of Yunjiu's territory, Xilie has also formed a united front with the Xuanping Hou Mansion. Our Nanzhao army is

Isn’t it time to make a move?”

"That's what I meant." Wu Kuang nodded, and then said: "Beiyu only captured half of Yunjiu's territory this time before starting peace talks. This shows that he is still afraid. That kid Mu Qiuhuang

In doing things, he is not as fearless as his father, Madman Mu, who knows how to advance and retreat, but his level of cunning is the same as Madman Mu... But Ji Yuan, an old fox, does this skill very well.

The Xuanping Hou Mansion was captured without bloodshed. It was said to be an alliance, but in fact it was not based on the Xilie Hou Mansion. The new Xuanping Hou Mansion was really not promising enough. His ancestors worked hard to conquer the country, but he was able to give it to him willingly.

I became a follower in the Xiliehou Mansion..."

The old man known as Lao Sun glanced at Wu Kuang and cautiously asked: "I wonder if the Marquis is going to make a big move this time or a small one?"

"Of course it's a big move." Wu Kuang said without thinking: "How can a small fight fit the style of our Yunjiu Army? This time I want to swallow Pingjin directly. The Mu family boy is not brave enough. The Mu family boy is not brave enough. I

An elder who is an uncle should teach him."

"Old slave, I understand. I will secretly contact the group of spies who were buried in Pingjin and ask them to take action. Then we will cooperate inside and outside." The old man said.

"Yes." Wu Kuang nodded and said to himself: "There are less than eight years left before the prophecy of the Ten Years of Dayou Dynasty, but except for Dongchehou who was the first to be eliminated, the remaining families will

They are all testing each other. If this happens, when will it be the same? The boy from the Mu family is not brave enough, and Ji Yuan, a hypocrite, cares about reputation even more. So, I want to set a precedent, I want to destroy Pingjin in one fell swoop, and show off the power of our Nanzhao army.

Strength. I think as long as I make this start, they will all be anxious..."

"The Marquis is wise. In this situation, once Nan Zhao destroys Pingjin, it will definitely shock the world. Then we can take this opportunity to win over Marquis Haihun and Wei Qi..." the old man said with a smile.

"Yes, that's exactly what I planned. Now Xilie and Beiyu have become in-laws. Although this is just a common political trick and should not be taken seriously, it sounds very bluffing. It is inevitable that they will

This incompetent person is afraid of him and does not dare to be his enemy. Therefore, I have to be more forceful in this battle. I don't care how much the damage is, I must destroy Pingjin with destructive means and make them fear me.

, and then I will offer you some inducements, and this will make it happen." Wu Kuang said.

"Master Hou is wise." The old man complimented.

Wu Biran looked excited and Wu Kuang said: "My child is willing to be the commander himself and annex Pingjin for his father."

"No." Wu Kuang refused directly: "I will personally be the commander in this battle."

"That kid wants to be a pioneer." Wu Biran continued.

"No, this time the pioneer, the father has already chosen someone." Wu Kuang looked at Wu Biran and said: "My son has this intention, and I am very happy as a father. It's just that you stay in Nanzhao this time, because you have more important things to do as a father.

You need to do it."

Wu Biran looked at Wu Kuang and asked in confusion: "My child is stupid, I hope my father will tell me clearly."

Wu Kuang looked at Wu Biran and said: "My father has reached an agreement with Futu Temple. You will stay in Nanzhao this time. In addition to managing logistics and ensuring the army's food and grass, more importantly, you must build temples and build golden bodies. At the same time, you must assist

Futu Temple spreads Buddhism in Miao territory."

"Father, do you want to promote Buddha?" Wu Biran asked doubtfully.

"That's right." Wu Kuang looked at Wu Biran and explained: "Without the Miao witch god, our Nan Zhao has no top masters in the world. This time Futu Temple happened to come to our door, which just made up for this shortcoming..."

"My child understands." Wu Biran nodded.
