Turbulent Times Chapter 60: Ambush in the wind and sand
After speaking, he took out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses from a dark cabinet under the carriage, filled them with wine respectively, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and poured himself three glasses in a row.
The steel crossbow has always been Wang Junlin's trump card. It is hidden in the wide sleeves. Unless someone has a see-through eye, no one will be able to find it. Then threatened with an antidote and asked the other party to let him go.
However, at such a short distance just now, under normal circumstances, absolutely no one would be able to dodge it, but the evil thing is that before he shot the iron thorn, he was discovered by King Podo.
Wang Junlin really couldn't understand, how did King Boduo find out that there was a steel crossbow in his sleeve, and his hands were so precise that he pinched the position of the vital gate on his wrist all at once. He thought of the mysterious technique he was practicing and the trace of internal energy in his dantian, and thought that maybe he would be able to have such a powerful method one day.
After Wang Junlin drank the third glass of wine, he saw that King Boduo finally picked up another glass of wine. drank it down.
However, to Wang Junlin's dismay, the Boduo Fawang did not drink the glass of wine at all, but shouted out of the car window, and a Turkic warrior approached on horseback. The samurai.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Junlin said suddenly with a bitter face.
King Po Duo signaled the Turkic warrior to leave, looked at Wang Junlin with a half-smile and asked, "Is this wine poisonous?"
Wang Junlin took the wine glass from Bo Duo Fawang, raised his head and drank it, and said: "There is no poison, but this is the last pot of good wine for the younger generation. If the adults don't want it, the juniors have to drink it by themselves."
Phatuo Dharma King laughed twice and didn't speak, but he still didn't have any intention of drinking.
"The steel crossbow failed, and the poisoned wine failed. Now maybe only my cheap master Changkuzi can save me, but that old Taoist has no kindness towards me." Not to mention, he is still a cunning fox, he couldn't help thinking to himself. Ever since he cultivated that trace of inner energy, Wang Junlin could vaguely feel that Changkuzi was always within five miles of him, which meant that Changkuzi was following him.
"If I worship the national teacher as my teacher, what good will it do?" Wang Junlin asked suddenly.
Bo Duo Dharma King’s eyes suddenly brightened like stars, he looked deeply at Wang Junlin and said, “You will become the Dharma King of my Nestorian generation. It will far surpass me, and believers will be ten times, even a hundred times more than me.”
Wang Junlin knows what King Boduo means—although King Boduo is a Turkic national teacher, there are also many believers in other ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions, such as Tuyuhun, the previous Qiang Gedao tribe, and even some Han people They also believe in Nestorianism, but the total number of these people will not exceed two million. And how many people were there in the Sui Dynasty? Or how many Han people are there?
In the first year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty when the Sui Dynasty was founded, there were 3.6 million households, which did not include the 3.3 million households in the old Northern Qi Dynasty, and also did not include a large number of hidden households.
In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, there were 500,000 households with 2 million people. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty investigated the hidden households in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the national households reached 7 million households with a population of about 40 million.
The Sui Dynasty continued to investigate the hidden household registrations of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Chen Dynasty. In the 18th year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there were about 8.7 million households and 44.5 million people.
Wang Junlin was silent for a while, and said a little playfully: "The national teacher has taken a fancy to the Great Sui, or all the Han people, and wants to make them all believers in Nestorianism."
Bo Duo Dharma King laughed loudly and said: "That's right, as long as you become my apprentice and become my Nestorian new generation Venerable Dharma King, I have the confidence to let the glory of Tianzun Dharma King shine on the entire Sui Dynasty."
Wang Junlin licked his dry lips, thinking to himself, "What a **** joke... what a big joke."
But he had a serious look on his face, and said solemnly: "The younger generation is Han Chinese, so it may not be appropriate to become a Nestorian Dharma King. Obviously most Nestorians are from the Western Regions, and the younger generation is a foreigner to them."
"The emperors of the Han people like to say that the whole world is the land of the king, and the land of the land is the subject of the king. In fact, in my opinion, this sentence is very wrong. It is very wrong to replace the king with our Nestorian god. It is appropriate." His Holiness Bo Duo said in a natural tone.
"Isn't the **** of Nestorianism the Heavenly Venerable Dharma King?" Wang Junlin suppressed the strong desire to escape and forcibly focused his attention on Nestorianism. He planned to find out about Nestorianism and find life from it.
"Heavenly Venerable Dharma King is just the son of God, and as the Venerable Dharma King, I am the messenger of God." Seeing Wang Junlin's interest in Nestorianism, Bo Duo Dharma King said with some relief.
"Oh! That's how it is!" Wang Junlin suddenly understood, but in his heart he cursed a group of gods secretly.
"If you want to understand our Nestorian religion, especially the scriptures I teach, you must first learn our language." His Holiness Bo Duo said solemnly.
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and his heart began to tremble, as if he had a premonition of the coming of his own miserable life.
When he was in later life, one of the things he hated the most was learning foreign languages. He failed to enter the university because of his terrible English. He served in the army and performed well. Learning English, Wang Junlin even once gave birth to why my great China does not dominate the world, so that people all over the world can learn Chinese.
After he retired from the army, he joined an internationally renowned mercenary organization by chance, but he still had to learn English, so he really hated learning foreign languages.
Especially today's China is clearly the core of the East, everyone should learn Chinese, okay? Why do you want to learn a foreign language?
Because the emotions in his heart were too strong to be concealed even on his face, Dharma King Podo found that Wang Junlin hated learning their language so much, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.
But of course he will not give up, but he did not directly force Wang Junlin to learn their language with huge profits, and at the same time, he did not adopt the persuasive education model, but used the simplest and most effective method - food Wang Junlin was forced to change his mind, and after completing the vocabulary learning task of the day, he would have food and water to drink, otherwise he would be hungry.
When Wang Junlin found that he was able to successfully complete the daily study tasks taught by His Holiness Bo Duo, he had to admit that this method is the most effective method. It's all about him.
In addition to learning their language, Bo Duo Dharma King did not force Wang Junlin to join the religion, because he needs to be a voluntary Wang Junlin, a mad believer who truly believes in the Heavenly Dharma King, and then inherits his Venerable Dharma King .
Leaving the Turkic prairie, although heading east all the way, it has become more and more desolate along the way, and it can even be called wild.
The strong northwest wind almost never stopped, and the finger egg-sized gravel on the ground swam against the ground, and the whole world seemed to come alive all of a sudden. Wang Junlin knew that this place was a famous outlet, and in later generations, he even overturned a high-speed train once.
You can't see a tree or a blade of grass here, and you can't see any life here except the camel caravan. Wang Junlin had already experienced this kind of situation when he came here with the mission, and it was not like he had never been to this kind of place when he was on a mission in later generations, but now that he is a prisoner, this feeling is completely different.
King Boduo is going to Gaochang City, one of the three cities under the jurisdiction of the Turkic royal court, and this is the place to pass, but the road is very windy and sandy. Even if Wang Junlin and King Boduo are in the carriage He was also wrapped in a thick linen cloth and tightly covered his mouth and nose, which made Wang Junlin's breathing a little short. Even so, sand would still enter his mouth, and the thousand Turkic cavalry outside, Not to mention.
In fact, all the cavalry had already jumped off their horses, bowing their bodies and leading the horses with their mouths, noses and eyes blocked, walking forward with difficulty in the wind and sand.
The large gravel rolled on the ground, the medium-sized gravel flew a foot above the ground, and the rice-sized gravel hit the person's face fiercely.
Wang Junlin remembered seeing the code word mark left by Yu Bao and Deng Yuzhuo yesterday, and his heartbeat started to speed up. He knew that Yu Bao had already contacted Wu San, and Wu San had already framed those five hundred outstanding provocateurs The mission, the soldiers who were supposed to be broken up and returned to Gaotai City gathered together again, they naturally wanted to save Wang Junlin
Two people jumped out of the sand at the foot of the cavalry leading the chariot and horse. One swung a knife and slashed at the leg of the unsuspecting cavalry, while the other slashed firmly at the leg of the horse with a long knife.
The screams of the Turkic cavalry were blocked by the strong wind and gravel before they could even exit.
At the same time, hundreds of black shadows emerged from the dim yellow dust, and they attacked the Turkic cavalry without saying a word, no matter whether they were horses or people.
Wang Junlin carefully selected 500 of the best fighters among the 5,000 soldiers in Gaotai City, and then personally followed the training mode of special forces for more than half a year. a training content.
Wang Junlin didn't make any changes, because he was facing King Boduo, and he was no match for this magic stick at all, so he could only continue to wait for the opportunity to escape.
"Who dares to attack the Turkic cavalry in the Western Region?" Wang Junlin said.
King Bo Duo looked at Wang Junlin, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Who are these people outside, don't you know?"
