Chapter 172 No solution to the dead end (1)

Cheng Yaojin had ordered that the next camp be to mobilize people in several nearby camps. The gathered troops were always following his team for more than twenty miles. After Lao Cheng found that the scout had been infiltrated with the monster, he did not immediately explain it. Instead, he took advantage of the scout's departure and secretly ordered the army behind to follow closely.

Then the scout with question reported to Cheng Yaojin about Juminzhuang. Although Old Cheng didn't know the specific matter, he still calculated the general situation. At that moment, he secretly circulated the king's order and asked the tens of thousands of troops who followed him to go around Juminzhuang. When he found that there was a sound of fighting inside, he immediately attacked the village. If there was no abnormal situation inside and no King Cheng Yaojin's order was transmitted, he would attack and kill him at midnight.

After entering Juxian Village, although the old owner Yang Gun and the shopkeepers in the village were both ordinary people, the sharp-eyed Guangxiao still found clues of monsters passing by in the village, and used the method of voice transmission to inform Cheng Yaojin while eating and drinking. Old Cheng took advantage of the time to go to the toilet to inform his personal soldiers. He asked the officers and soldiers who were patrolling at night to be careful, and the fire-induced objects such as tinder oil were hidden on their bodies. He originally thought of discovering where there were monsters raised, and ignited them with tinder oil. Unexpectedly, he found that the monsters were hidden in the cellar. These soldiers immediately took the initiative to ignite the cellar. In the end, most of the monsters were burned to death.

After the army outside rushed in, it occupied most of Juminzhuang with great power. If there were no more than a hundred monsters in the end, there would be almost no obstacles in this battle. Unfortunately, after searching all Juminzhuang, he still couldn't find the owner of the manor, and later found many monster eggs and newly born small monsters in the underground secret room. Originally, Guangxiao wanted to bring a few back to study, but Yaojin did not follow his wishes. He burned the entire Juminzhuang from top to bottom with a fire.

The army gathered by King Cheng Yaojin's orders was as many as 50,000 to 60,000. Since he was here, don't leave. Cheng Yaojin simply took this man and horse to set off towards the capital, which scared Li Yuan in the capital so much that he didn't know what happened. He thought that Cheng Yaojin regretted giving up the world and was preparing to snatch it back. At that moment, Li Yuan issued twelve imperial edicts in a day. While attracting military horses from all over the world to serve the king, he issued imperial edicts to Cheng Yaojin to disband the military horses on the spot. Everyone was their own brothers. If you have anything to say to return to the capital, it was not impossible to entrust him as a king with one word.

In addition to Li Yuan's imperial edict, the brothers who were in charge of Wagang Mountain also sent people to come. Now, like Cheng Yaojin, these people have become founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty. For example, Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong and others have sent their confidants. Some implicit words also revealed some hidden meanings. When the world was already in Cheng Yaojin's bag, who would have thought that he would give it to someone if he said he didn't want it...

Seeing that he had caused such a big disaster, Cheng Yaojin did not expect that he would disband the 50,000 or 60,000 troops on the spot and let them return to the original military camp. He still carried more than a thousand troops borrowed from Qin King Li Shimin and continued to head towards Chang'an.

Fortunately, these 50,000 or 60,000 people have already guarded Cheng Yaojin near the capital. Once you pass Shangzhou, you will be able to arrive in Chang'an one day. Seeing that Chang'an City is right in front of you, Cheng Yaojin's heart hanging along the way finally let go. He was waiting to bring his men into the city, and after resting here for a night, he could arrive in Chang'an City the next day.

What Cheng Yaojin didn't expect was that before he could lead the team into the city, a team first came out of the city, and there was also a king-shaped flag among the troops. Unlike Lao Cheng's flag, the king-shaped flag was made of bright yellow edges, and it turned out to be Li Jiancheng's prince flag.

According to the rules, except for the emperor, no matter the prince, he would get off the horse and sedan chair when he saw the prince's flag. After Yao Jin saw it, he seemed to be fine and still looked at the team in front of the city gate with a smile. Seeing this, his personal soldiers hurried over to remind him, but Cheng Yao Jin scolded him: "Don't tell me that those useless things. I don't recognize the words, but I am born with color blindness (color blindness). You mean, why is it dark green? I hold it on my head like a cuckold. There is such a bad thing at home, and I still have the leisure to go around..."

Cheng Yaojin was born with a loud voice, and it was a good time for him to come here again. Li Jiancheng, who was behind the team, walked out of the city on a Xiaoyao horse. When he heard King Lu's words, his face suddenly became gloomy. At this time, in a dense forest outside Shangzhou City, the white-haired young man and Gui Chen were hiding here. Just as he saw what happened at the city gate, Gui Chen sneered and said to the white-haired young man: "Is this your unsolvable death? A small Li Jiancheng is the prince, can Cheng Yaojin be moved?"

"Of course, it's not possible for a prince, but behind the prince is the emperor." After a white-haired young man smiled, he continued: "There is only this road in front of Kūkai, and he can't come out when you walk in. Watch the show, it won't take long before Kūkai will be sent to you and me..."

"King Lu has worked hard all the way, Jiancheng has been waiting here for a long time." Although he was unhappy, Li Jiancheng still held back the stroke and smiled. Then he took an imperial edict from the officials around him and continued to say to Cheng Yaojin: "Your Majesty has an order, Cheng is so lucky to be able to welcome the Japanese envoys. Now he can hand over the Tang envoys and others to Jiancheng, and Jiancheng will take them into the palace to meet His Majesty. Please ask King Lu to rest in this Shangzhou city for a few days. There will be a decree for rewards later..."

"Ah! It turned out to be Jiancheng... Lao Cheng said that he looked familiar with people. If he didn't help me, I would salute His Highness the Crown Prince." When he was speaking, his personal soldiers had already arrived in front of Cheng Yaojin's horse, but Lao Cheng just said it, but he never wanted to get off the horse.

Seeing Old Cheng's rude look, Li Jiancheng swallowed the anger in his heart again. Instead, he dismounted first, walked to Cheng Yaojin and said, "King Lu is a founding hero of this dynasty. He is exempt from courtesy when he sees His Majesty. How can I, a little prince, afford it? King Lu is exempt from courtesy. Your Majesty is still waiting to summon these Japanese envoys. He also asked King Lu to invite the envoys over..."

"Monk Guangxiao has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." At this time, Guangxiao, who had walked out of the car, also walked to Li Jiancheng. He also saw that there was a problem. In recent years, Guangxiao had been secretly colluding with Li Jiancheng. He thought that if he came forward, the prince would definitely give face. No matter what, he was about to arrive in Chang'an, and he could not fail at this time.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Guangxiao, Li Jiancheng frowned and said to Guangxiao: "Master, you are here too. No wonder you haven't heard the master come to the palace to preach the scriptures and preach the Dharma for so many days. Master, Jiancheng is now in charge of the imperial edict. After sending the Japanese envoy to the palace, he will go to the temple to listen to the master's teachings. The person comes, invite the Japanese envoys over. Your Majesty is anxious, so we rushed back to Chang'an overnight..."

Seeing Li Jiancheng's subordinates helping several envoys out of the carriage, Cheng Yaojin had no intention of stopping them, but just looked at them with a smile. But then he heard Li Jiancheng continue, "There are still a few Japanese monks, please come here together. Which one is Master Kōkai..."

After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Cheng Yaojin laughed and pointed at Guan Wuming, who was as heavy as water beside Guangxiao, and said, "I will introduce to the Prince that this is Master Kukai from Japan. The monk next to him is Guan Wuming, the disciple of Master Guangxiao."

Li Jiancheng had seen Guan Wuming in Guangxiao's temple. He smiled slightly and said to Cheng Yaojin: "King Lu was joking. This master Guan Wuming Jiancheng had also seen him. How could he be Master Konghai? Master Guan Wuming, is this prince right?"
