Chapter 35 Winter Wheat and Spring Plowing

The scholar's martial arts are not bad, but when facing eighteen Khitan warriors, he was not directly hacked to death by random knives, but struggled to support them.However, he was full of hexagrams all over his body, and it seemed that he couldn't last long.

"Forget it, leave him alone."

The Khitan warriors immediately jumped back on their horses, and it was obvious that these monks were all good players.The scholar stood with his sword in his hand, without losing his demeanor, blood was everywhere on his white robe, but his expression remained calm.

Even Zong Xin felt strange, this scholar is too desperate.It didn't look like he was here to rob, but he didn't say anything else, just stood here and didn't let himself pass.

Is it to seek revenge?It shouldn't be~ I just went down the mountain not long ago, I don't know this scholar, and I don't have any enmity with him.

"What the hell do you want?"

Standing behind the wicker, the scholar smiled lightly and said: "...a thousand dollars can't buy the love of your heart, Master, don't hurt this good tree."

Zhao Kuangyin cursed in the car: "This shameless thing, I've given you two chances. This kind of person deserves to die. I'm going to kill him now."

Zhao Kuangyin in the carriage couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly came out with a long gun. This scholar is too shameless.After rushing out of the carriage, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt his feet slip and fell directly in front of the scholar, his nose touched a willow branch, and suddenly his nose itched.

"Ah~~chirp~~"

Zhao Kuangyin hadn't felt this good in a long time, this sneeze made Zhao Kuangyin's head buried deeply, almost touching the ground.Everyone knew that he fell and sneezed, but if they didn't know the process, they would have thought he kowtowed to the scholar.

The scholar showed a satisfied smile, then knelt down on his knees and bowed three times and nine times to Zhao Kuangyin.

"TMD, you useless trash, who told you to kneel and kowtow to him?" Zong Xin got off the station and said angrily in front of Zhao Kuangyin, "I've been bad luck for eight lifetimes. How did I know you, trash."

Zhao Kuangyin said embarrassingly: "Accident... I didn't do it on purpose. I slipped and fell on my foot, and the wicker got my nose and sneezed. Anyway, he came back, and he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. I don't suffer. "

"If someone stabs you once, you stab him ten times, so you won't suffer a loss, right, and you can still make money." Zong Xin said in a strange way, "Go to the street to earn a knife~"

Zhao Kuangyin still doesn't understand what's going on, isn't it just a small mistake?Why is Zong Xin so angry?

Zong Xin stared at the scholar and asked, "What is your surname Pan?"

"Pan Mei's double character Zhongxun just now impolitely pleaded guilty to the holy monk."

"It was definitely intentional. What you are waiting here is for him to kowtow to you, right? Who told you to do this?"

Pan Meidao: "It's a Taoist priest. He told me to plant willows here today to rob me, as long as someone worships me. The Taoist priest also said that someone will tell me what to do next."

Zong Xin was depressed. Since Zhao Kuangyin worshiped him, he couldn't kill him anymore.If he had known this earlier, he should have let the eighteen guardians retreat directly.

"Pan Mei, do you want to be an official?"

"I want to, of course I want to."

"Come with me, I will protect you as an official, and I will ask you for help in the future."

"Thank you, Holy Monk."

Sure enough, there is God's will in the dark, and you can't force it.

Zong Xin had to bring Pan Mei along, who would make Zhao Kuangyin, that trash, want to worship him?But Zhao Kuangyin's head is full of question marks, what is Zong Xin up to?I did make a small mistake, because I was too angry at the time, and my foot slipped.Originally going to kill this shameless scholar, why did they suddenly reconcile?And this scholar is here for this...

Zong Xin asked Pan Mei to mount a horse, and the group went to Guo Wei.Originally there were eighteen horses, but because a Khitan warrior was in charge of driving the chariot, one horse was spared for Pan Mei to ride on.

"Zong Xin, what's going on? Didn't you want to kill him just now?"

Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "I can't kill him now. Zhao Kuangyin, please remember me. From now on, you will go up to pray to the sky and down to the ground. Other than that, you must never kowtow to anyone, even if your feet are broken. This matter You must remember, otherwise the poor monk will not be able to help you."

Zhao Kuangyin's face darkened, and he thought for 5 minutes...

"Zong Xin, why do you call yourself an old monk? Can you not be so shameless at your age?"

"Is this the point?" Zong said: "That's right, I will pay attention next time."

……

Guo Xin showed the way, and soon came to the gate of Guo Mansion, Guo Wei had already brought Chai Rong and Guo Tong to greet him at the gate.With such a large team moving forward, Guo Wei had already received the news, and he knew it was Master Zong Xin at a glance.

"Master Zongxin~ This little brother... is seriously injured~" Guo Wei saw Pan Mei at first sight. She had an extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance. Her white robe was covered with blood stains everywhere.But the others are intact, so what's going on?

Zong said: "It's okay, Tian Ya, go see your father."

"Father~Big Brother~Second Brother~" Tian Ya immediately stepped forward and hugged Guo Wei's thigh.

The father and son depend on each other for life and have never been separated. They left for a few days after apprenticeship, and I miss them very much.The most important thing is that my father's martial arts is so strong, it's completely different from this master who doesn't rely on Pu.However, the two of them have something in common, that is, they act recklessly, it doesn't matter if their father's martial arts are high, but their master's martial arts are also useless.

Zong Xin immediately ordered someone to lead the carriage into Guo Wei for a temporary stay.Then he handed everything over to Zhao Kuangyin, took Zhao Ziyan to the living room to drink tea, and didn't need others to ask him to do it himself, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

A Khitan warrior is really easy to use, as long as he truly surrenders, he will do his best, which is much better than ordinary slaves.Get things done quickly.

A group of people sat in the living room drinking tea, Guo Wei and Tian Ya had a chat, and immediately came to see Master Zong Xin.

"Master Zong Xin, Guo is very grateful to see that Xin'er's martial arts and character have improved." Guo Wei is a master, and he can completely feel the changes in Guo Xin. Not only has his martial arts improved, but also his character is completely different from when he left. , stronger and more independent.

Zong Xin smiled softly, "Master Guo, you are being polite."

Chai Rong winked at Guo Wei, and Guo Wei nodded slightly.Everyone else sees that something is wrong, but they don't know what's wrong.

"This...Guo doesn't know how to say it..." Guo Wei said, "Perhaps Master Zongxin didn't know that just five days ago, Emperor Yelude of the Khitan issued a decree. Master Zongxin is an eminent monk in this world. The phrase "winter wheat and spring plowing" has made great achievements for Khitan, and now the spring wheat has been planted and is growing well, and there will be a harvest in early autumn. Therefore, the word "spring comes" is specially awarded to Master Zongxin."

Zong Dao said, "Since he has made extraordinary achievements, he has banned me? It's too picky, even rewarding a poor monk with two altars of fine wine is fine."

"Emperor Khitan is worth a thousand gold, and you can go to the Khitan Emperor every year to receive 1000 taels of gold for one word. Two words are 2000 taels of gold." Chai Rong immediately explained the meaning of this reward to Zong Xin, almost giving Zong Xin a gift. A stable income, but you have to go to Khitan to get the money.

"2000 taels of gold every year? That is 2 taels of silver? Is the Khitan rich?" Zong Xin couldn't believe his ears. Rich.

Guo Weidao: "Khitan is well-known to the world. Although Khitan is mainly nomadic, it has far more mineral veins than the Central Plains. It's just that the extreme cold in the north can't grow food. Your phrase 'winter wheat and spring plowing' can make Khitan even richer than it is now. Originally Khitan is very difficult to deal with, just look at this year's harvest, if this year's Khitan spring wheat harvest is good, next year's spring plowing will definitely go south."

Zong Xin put his hands together and said: "Amitabha... 2000 taels of gold, is it true that there are 2000 taels of gold every year?"

"Master Zong Xin, are you listening to me?"

"Does what you said have something to do with the poor monk?" Zong Xin asked curiously: "Could it be that the account is settled on the poor monk? Is it the poor monk’s fault that he can’t manage the suffering of the people and let them have enough to eat? All living beings are equal, and the poor monk is willing to do as long as it is good. In the eyes of the poor monk, there is no difference between Khitan and Han people.”

I admire him, but at the same time I have an urge to hit him... Since it is Chai Rong, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and now the relationship between the Central Plains and Khitan can be said to be incompatible, and he actually came up with such a good idea for Khitan.

But as a monk, Master Zong Xin did a good job. He just made more people have enough to eat.But as a man of the people, I really want to cut this demon monk into pieces... If he didn't say this, the Khitan might not dare to attack the Central Plains.

It is true that the people of Khitan are tough and tough, but most of them are nomadic, and there is not much food in the north.The so-called three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, and there is no food to fight, as many soldiers need as much food to support.

How can the nomads have surplus food?Therefore, the habit of hunting grass and valleys was formed. Everywhere they went, they had to be burned, killed and looted. One was to vent the fear of war in the hearts of soldiers, and the other was to support war with war. However, this was not a long-term solution, so expeditions were not possible.

It would be different if Khitan started to grow food. With food supply, Khitan could conquer farther places.Zong Xin's words may be the key to Khitan's prosperity.

But if you think about it carefully, it is imperative for the Khitan to go south. Regardless of whether there is the phrase "winter wheat spring plowing" or not, they will go south one day.

Guo Wei sighed and said: "Master Zongxin, Guo knows that you are an eminent monk, but if Khitan goes south, I'm afraid that the Central Plains will be lost~ when there is a war, there will be countless casualties."

"How about this, Mr. Guo took the poor monk to meet Emperor Yin Liu Chengyou, the poor monk has his own plan."

"Alright, I also want to see the great talent of Master Zongxin. Khitan Emperor Yelude Guangjue is very human. Since he intends to award the award, it must be because of Master Zongxin's superiority." Guo Wei had no other choice. I want to take Zong Xin to meet Emperor Yin Liu Chengyou.This matter has been spread, Master Zong Xin will definitely be lost, and people in the world will think that he is a demon monk rather than an eminent monk.

Unless Master Zong Xin can put this matter to rest, there will be no room for him in the Central Plains.In this case, Master Zong Xin had no choice but to go north to Khitan, and I believe the Khitan people would accept him.But this is also the last thing Guo Wei wants to see, because this is the purpose of Yelu Deguang.
