Chapter 259 Army is coming from the border

On Xiao Ayu's birthday, it wasn't just the Wang family who were busy.

The West Wind Country, thousands of miles away, suddenly caused a turmoil.

The West Wind Kingdom and Dachang Kingdom are similar in size, and they are both big countries on this continent.

The difference is that before the new emperor came to the throne, Dachang Kingdom went through a long period of turmoil, and the people everywhere were struggling.

Today, Anshun has only been in Anshun for 17 years.

The West Wind Kingdom has been passed down for more than 300 years. The royal family has always maintained self-restraint and restored rituals, so that there are fewer incidents of nobles against the poor, and the overall national style is simple.

However, no one will underestimate this country, they do not advocate force, but the largest army on the mainland is there, and it is in the hands of the imperial court.

Now that army is gathering at the junction of Dachang Kingdom, and the border soldiers who are guarding the city are so anxious that their mouths are bubbling.

"What's going on here? Is Xifeng Kingdom crazy? Why does it suddenly look like he's going to fight with us?" The general defending the city couldn't figure it out.

Because the two countries are big, if they really fight, it will be a real disaster.

General   's subordinates were even more confused than him: "The subordinates don't know either. Although they have made inquiries several times, they have not had any good results. The spies from the West Wind Country can't see anything."

"You can't make things out of nothing, right? Our Dachang Kingdom has frequent trade exchanges with Xichang Kingdom in recent years, so there should be no wars."

Even the soldiers guarding the city are not the most elite troops.

"Subordinates don't know."

The general touched his head and shook off a sweat: "First, let the soldiers prepare, if we really want to fight with their imperial army, we're afraid we won't be able to eat well. In addition, the flying pigeon sent a message to Hu of Yincheng. General, let him quickly increase the number of people after receiving the letter!"

"Yes!"

After the    subordinates took orders and left, the general was so worried that his hair turned white.

Seeing that in another two years, he will be able to retire and return to his hometown safely, and such a thing suddenly happened, alas.

Just as the Dachang Kingdom was on the defensive, the imperial court troops of the Western Kingdom did not move for a long time.

The    was so stalemate, until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers did not have the atmosphere of the festival at all, and they were afraid that the enemy would suddenly attack when they persuaded them to celebrate the festival.

At this moment, someone from below suddenly came to report.

"Report! The West Wind Country has withdrawn!"

General    and General Hu, who came to help, both had question marks written on their faces.

"What, they suddenly withdrew?"

"What did you say?"

"Can the scouts see the ambush?"

The messenger shook his head: "Well, none of it."

The two generals looked at each other.

This...is it fun to play with them?

The    messenger hesitated for a moment, but still said: "However, the scout discovered that just two days ago, a person from our side passed by the West Wind Country."

At that time they saw two monks, one big and one small, with a carriage.

The reason    noticed them was because the horses that pulled the carriage were not ordinary horses, but three sweaty BMWs.

Rumor has it that he can travel thousands of miles a day without changing horses.

If there is an emergency, from their capital Wanlin City to the West Wind Country, it takes only half a month to get there.

If it is an ordinary carriage, it can only travel 200 miles a day at most, and no more horses can bear it.

The general hurriedly asked, "Why don't you report such a big event?"

The subordinate looked confused: "A few days ago, the subordinate reported it."

General    remembered that some time ago, because of rumors that there was going to be a war, the surrounding people who got the news all returned to their own countries one after another.

Some of them are from the West Wind Kingdom, some are from the Dachang Kingdom, and some are from other countries.

The way of traveling is also different. Everyone did not stop them from returning to their respective homes, but the inspection was stricter than usual to prevent spies from mixing in.

The general    became impatient after listening to it a few times, so that his subordinates would not have to report such matters in the future.

Thinking of this, the general glared: "Can ordinary people be the same as monks who ride sweaty and **** horses?! Do you have a brain? Will you think about it!"

Messenger: "…"

If I were to think that way, I wouldn't be a messenger.

General Hu asked, "Have you ever questioned where those two monks came from and where are they going?"

"I asked, and they said they came from Wangbei County to go to the capital of Xifeng Kingdom, and said they were going there for almsgiving."

General Hu: "Since he is a monk of Dachang Kingdom, why did he go to Xifeng Kingdom for alms?"

Messenger: "...I don't know."

General    waved his hand and asked the messengers to go down and explore again.

At this time, the two monks who made them curious have entered the territory of the West Wind Kingdom and entered the imperial court army.

The general headed by    was surnamed Ouyang, with a very good-looking face. When he sat in the general's tent to check military affairs, he did not look like a general, but a white-faced scholar.

General Ouyang heard that two monks were out there looking for him, and he called out his name, Ouyang Pei, so he waved someone to bring him in.

Those two monks were none other than Xiao Qingwu and his master from Puji Temple in Nanhe Town.

After the monk walked in, he smiled slightly at Ouyang Pei, who was behind the case, and made a Buddha salute: "Don Ouyang, don't come and be safe."

Ouyang Pei raised his head, his eyes flashed by the monk's bright forehead.

At first he thought that the monk was familiar, but when he took a closer look, his eyes widened slightly, and there seemed to be a crack in his tightly pursed lips.

His expressionless face seemed to be split.

"Sylvia Lin? What are you doing!" Ouyang Pei stood up suddenly, avoided the case, and strode towards the monk, "Where have you been all these years? Don't tell me, which old forest in the mountains did you go to to become a monk!"

Sylvia Lin took a step back, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Donor, the poor monk's legal name is Yuangou, and the nickname of the layman is a thing of the past, and it is not worth mentioning again."

Ouyang Pei glanced at him: "You are indeed quite a dog."

He took a few steps to the side, his handsome brows furrowed, and then he said, "Since you have converted to Buddhism, I think those things that I have kept for you are useless. Do you want your fiancee?"

"The future is over, I have long understood that form is emptiness, and emptiness is form."

"It's very good, but you don't want the money?"

"Things outside the body, and leave it to those who are destined."

Ouyang Pei sighed: "It seems that the century-old peach blossom brew that I specially treasured for you, the 80-year-old daughter of the old cellar, and the special pear blossom drunk made by the wine fairy, you are not uncommon."

Sylvia Lin smiled deeper, and bent slightly towards Ouyang Pei: "The poor monk can return to the secular world."

Ouyang Pei: "…"

Xiao Qingwu next to   : ? ? ?

I didn’t expect you to be such a master!

The joke was over, Ye Yunyi and Ouyang Pei sat opposite each other, and he said, "Buddhism didn't teach me anything, but I learned a thing or two about this skill, so I was able to stop you in time."

"You know what I'm here for this time?"

"What else? It's nothing more than finding someone." Sylvia Lin said, "This time I met a person in Dachang, who was exactly the same as Ruan Ruan when I was a child."

Ouyang Pei Huoran got up: "Do you take what you said seriously?!"
