This day Tamara Gha had another attack twice. Although it was not as painful as when he was on the mountain before, and his consciousness was clear, his body was obviously weaker.
Yaoying was afraid that something might happen to him, so she did not dare to leave for too long, except for going downstairs a few times, she stayed by his side all the time. This time, she didn't dare to fall asleep again, and sat across from Tamara Gaya all night, thinking about how to rush back to the holy city as quickly as possible, while calculating what happened after returning to the holy city, watching his brows flushed, and immediately awakened him softly.
Tamara Gha opened her eyes and looked at her, her eyes cold.
Yaoying rushed forward and fed him a pill.
Thinking that he has survived so hard these years, and will continue to do this in the future, she is worried.
Tamara Gha calmly turned her back, wiped off the blood on her lips, and looked indifferent, looking at the sky falling in front of the tent, and she was about to get up.
Yaoying hurriedly took his arm and said, "In Gaochang, the general told me that he should get well first and then think about the covenant. How can it be the general's turn to be greedy and lose the big? The business matters, the general's The body should not be neglected."
Tamara Ghazal said indifferently: "Nothing."
The hardest night has passed.
Yaoying frowned lightly: "The general clearly has something to do. Although I don't know martial arts, this can still be seen."
Tamara Gha's thick eyebrows twitched slightly, and her gaze fell on her face. She has been watching him day and night, and the blackness of her eye circles has not faded.
Yaoying stared at Luo Jia, without any intention of retreating: "I know that the general must rush back to the holy city, but you can't completely ignore your own body. Now the general is a patient. The patient must be obedient and cannot be aggressive."
After finishing talking, sit down under Tamaraga.
She didn't have much strength, and Tamara Gya only needed a light wave of her arm to throw her away. As soon as her arm was stretched straight, she met her caring gaze and dropped it again.
He didn't speak, and sat back to his original position.
"I inquired about something from the caravan yesterday and thought of a way to get into the Holy City smoothly, and I was about to discuss it with the general."
Yaoying held out a black lacquer inlaid snail treasure box, opened the lid, and the room suddenly shone with golden light, and the treasure was floating.
Inside the box is a dense gilt bronze statue of a diamond lotus, divided into four layers, each of which is a blooming lotus. The eight Buddha statues are holding a jewel and a vajra pestle, sitting on a lotus platform with complex carvings and exquisite craftsmanship.
"This is a birthday gift dedicated to the Buddha. I bought it from a merchant in Tianzhu."
Yaoying said softly.
Tamara Gya looked down, glanced at the gilt bronze lotus statue in the box, and was stunned.
Yaoying didn't notice his momentary surprise, and continued: "Now more and more people are rushing to the holy city from all directions to worship the Buddha. We can get in and enter the city with them. I've inquired about these people. There are a large number of people, and they come in groups to worship the Buddha, and they are the most relaxed every year."
She was not idle yesterday, pretending that she admired the Buddha, wanted to buy some treasures, and chatted with caravans from different places.
Merchants told her that the checkpoints in the city are still strict, and the closer the city is to the holy city, the stricter it is.
The regent is still seriously injured. She doesn't want him to risk running around. After thinking about it, she feels that it is better to join the worship team and enter the city. This will not only avoid interrogation, but also approach the Wangsi in a logical way.
"What does the general think of my idea?"
Yaoying opened her eyes wide, and seriously consulted Tamaraga.
Tamara Gha is looking down at her.
His eyes met, and he looked at her with a little scrutiny.
Yaoying didn't know why, she blinked at Tamaraga, her black eyes were bright.
She looked at him with clever and clear eyes, as if the dew, without any hint of temptation.
"General?" Yaoying called out softly.
Tamaraga looked away and said, "This bronze statue is inappropriate."
Yaoying was taken aback, picked up the gilt bronze statue and looked closely: "Is there anything wrong with this King Kong statue?"
This King Kong statue is not only gorgeous and exquisite, but also unique. It is said that only Tianzhu craftsmen can sculpt this style. When the merchant of Tianzhu took out this bronze statue yesterday, the merchant in the hall was amazed and rushed to bid, if it weren’t because she had learned a few bad Sanskrit words from Prajna, and she had negotiated with the merchant of Tianzhu first. Robbed.
She thought this bronze statue was very precious. Looking at the gleaming and perfect craftsmanship, isn't it similar to the Buddha statue on the altar during the Wang Ting Xing Xing Festival?
Tamaragarh paused for a moment, and said, "One volume of scripture is enough, no need to be extravagant."
Yaoying realized that she might have done something wrong because the person she was facing was the regent, but she didn't feel embarrassed, so she smiled: "Thank you, General, I have been taught."
After that, he immediately stood up holding the box, covered the veil, and ran out, disappearing at the door. After a while, the sound of footsteps turned back, and she stood by the door, putting on her boots and leaning half of her body into the room.
"I'll go back as soon as I go, the general has a good rest."
Half an hour later, Yaoying returned with a few golden scriptures. The scriptures were drawn on leather paper with patterns, exquisite and beautiful.
"I sold the bronze statue." She sat cross-legged and patted the scriptures, "Is these scriptures suitable for the Buddha?"
Tamara Gama nodded slightly.
It seems that she just did it unintentionally.
.........
Downstairs, the businessman who had just bought the bronze statue from Yaoying was overjoyed and returned to his room with the bronze statue.
The companion asked in surprise: "This bronze statue is well-made and exquisite in style. It's a pity that it was bought by a carpet merchant in Yangma City. Why did it get into your hands again?"
The merchant twisted his beard, and said with joy: "The Tianzhu merchant who sells bronze statues does not know the goods, and the girl who buys the bronze statues does not know the goods. He thought it was just an ordinary bronze statue. I just added fifty silver coins and she was taller. I happily sold it to me!"
The companion was full of envy: "Good luck! This bronze statue is a rare thing in Tianzhu. If you sell it to the royal princes and nobles in the royal court, you will definitely make a lot of money!"
The businessman laughed: "It's not just as simple as making a fortune?"
Speaking, paused deliberately.
The companion knew that he was selling off, and asked with a smile: "What are the benefits of this bronze statue? Tell me quickly."
"There are so many wonderful things!" The businessman lowered his voice, put down the bronze statue, fumbled for a while, found the mechanism, and twisted it lightly.
With a click, a gilt lotus flower at the top of the bronze statue suddenly opened, and the petals of the lotus opened, like a lotus flower in full bloom, and the golden brilliance shuddered and beautifully.
Complimented by my companions.
For the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
I saw a seated statue of King Kong wearing a crown slowly appeared among the opened lotus. King Kong was naked, had several faces, six pairs of long arms, adorned with jewels on the waist, and held ritual instruments. The main arm embraced a gilt goddess, the goddess. She is also naked, with her arms around King Kong's neck, her legs wrapped around King Kong's waist, showing a tight embrace.
Companions are red-faced.
The businessman laughed loudly: "This is a double figure passed from Tianzhu. I heard that monks from a sect in Tianzhu practiced the double body practice of men and women and were able to enter the realm of great happiness. I have seen this kind of double figure before in Tianzhu. You are right, this is a rare thing, and the noble lords of the holy city are definitely willing to exchange more silver coins for it."
He was lucky!
.........
Yaoying knew nothing about the conversation that took place downstairs.
The next day, she continued to inquire about the news, and at the same time looked at Tamara Gha, not allowing him to work.
At night, Goshawk brought back a reply letter.
After reading the letter, Tamaraga was silent. Goshawk waited impatiently and lightly pecked his arm. He raised his hand and stroked the goshawk, motioning it to leave.
On the second day, the two of them mixed into the worshiping team, left the city, and headed towards the holy city.
They had just left the city gate, and faced a soldier with a long sword on his waist. The soldier cursed, sat on horseback, read the notice aloud, and then, as soon as he saw a young man walking alone on the road, he immediately pulled the person aside for questioning.
Immediately behind him, there was beating and scolding, and all the men who were alone were taken away.
Yaoying had a lingering fear. She lowered the curtains and glanced at Tamaraga, who was sitting cross-legged next to her, closing her eyes and adjusting her breath. His injuries showed signs of aggravation. Today they rode in a carriage.
After the carriage walked out a few miles, a horse hoof slammed and snow was splashed in the back. A team of several soldiers from the northern army came in. Among them, a large carriage covered by blankets was from the front of the carriage. Seeing from the few Huren maids who were sitting, the person in the car must be a woman.
Horses hissed, pedestrians on the road shouted and evaded, and the team went straight away.
There were complaints on both sides of the avenue.
"The lady sitting in the car is Princess Bei Rong, and the frame is really big."
"Bei Rong people are barbaric and vulgar."
.........
Yaoying watched Zhu Luyun's cart go far through the seams of the curtains.
After stabilizing her mind, she no longer deliberately avoided Zhu Luyun, but attentively inquired about the other party's movements in order to guess what happened to Bei Rong and how Wahhan Khan would think of sending Zhu Luyun to the court.
Since Zhu Luyun came to the Wang Court, she frequently went to and from the market, seeming to be looking for treasures to manage the royal family. There was no other unusual behavior. The Bei Rong mission was still defiant and arrogant.
Yaoying was puzzled: Haidu Aling and Wakhan Khan’s sons fought you to death, brothers clashed on walls, conflicts continued, and Bei Rong was still calm.
She calculated it. When Zhu Luyun set off from Beirong Yading, Haidu Aling and the little prince Jinbo hadn't fallen out yet, but now Jinbo has sent someone to inform Wakhan Khan of Haidualing's conspiracy. , Why is Beirong still not moving?
Yaoying pursed her lips.
Yang Qian is a general who can perform the important task of training and commanding the rebels, but he is not good at arranging meticulous work and training scouts.
The regent told her that Bei Rong has an all-pervasive scout team. The area of Bei Rong is vast, from the tooth court to the small tribes. If you walk slowly, you have to go for a few months. There is no well-trained scout. It may take half a year from promulgation to transmission. With a strong team of scouts, they can quickly grasp the intelligence of various countries, and then make plans and launch surprise attacks.
Yaoying also needs such a team.
In this way, she doesn't have to wait for the news from Gao Chang every day.
Lao Qi and their caravan are good candidates for scouts. Before they moved to the royal court, they lived in the Western Regions for many years, often dealing with various tribes, and walking around as merchants would not arouse suspicion.
But after all, they are just untrained civilians, and they don't know how to distinguish what is useful and what is useless from trivial news.
Yaoying thought about her heart for a while, and heard the sound of Tamaraka's breathing worsening next to her, she recovered, poured a cup of hot soup, and handed it to him.
Tamaraka stretched out her hand to receive, she retracted her hand, picked up a hard naan as a fan, and gently fanned it against the steaming porcelain cup.
"Wait, it's just cooked, it's still very hot."
No matter how strong or bitter the soup medicine is, Tamara Ka has no taste. He picked up the medicine cup and drank it without frowning. Yaoying was afraid that he would drink it and burn it all at once.
She slapped it several times, and felt that it was almost done, so she handed out the porcelain cup.
Tamara Ka took the porcelain cup without a word.
Yaoying threw away the naan bread and asked, "General, is there any news from Beirong these days?"
Tamara Ka drank the medicine soup, glanced at her, and shook his head.
He has been standing still and is also waiting for news from Bei Rong, knowing that she is afraid of Haidu Aling, so he has not mentioned it to her.
Yaoying sighed, suspecting that Haidu Aling might have killed both Wakhan Khan and his son like in the book, and also controlled the situation, so Bei Rong did not move at all.
She has to prepare in advance.
Yaoying leaned on the wall of the car and calculated silently.
Tamara Gha drank the medicinal soup, and there was a pain in his body slowly, and there was a faint soreness in the bones. He closed his eyes and sat quietly, waiting for the pain to pass, and opened his heavy eyelids.
A veil was sent to him, Yaoying looked at him, her dark eyes full of concern.
These days, as long as Tamaraga opens her eyes, she can see her.
Sometimes she sits there in a trance, looking serious, as if thinking about big things. Sometimes she stared at him unblinkingly, watching him look better, cheering, and found that he was getting worse and frowning. Sometimes she put her hands on her chin and head little by little, sitting and dozing off, hearing the sound, she immediately sat down, rubbing her face, widening her eyes, and trying to make her look full of energy.
If he does not take care of her, he can also return to the Holy City.
But in that case, he may fall in a desolate corner at any time, suffering silently by himself. It won't be like this, someone will take care of it all the way.
Tamaraga took the veil, and the warmth quickly spread from the cold fingertips.
The handkerchief has been baked on the charcoal stove, and it is hot.
He was a little uncomfortable, so when the veil was cooler, he picked it up to wipe off the cold sweat.
.........
They continued to march westward, and the number of worshippers became larger and larger. Except for the wealthy families surrounded by powerful servants, camel squadrons, and horse squads, they were more of ordinary people. You can see believers carrying blankets and shameless people on the road.
These believers are not wealthy. Many people can't even bring out a decent gift, but they are very pious, and they are sincerely reciting scriptures and praying for Tamaraga along the way.
Yaoying stayed with them and listened to them over and over again about the blessings that Tamaraga gave them. Once again, she deeply felt the love and admiration of the people for him, and she also wanted to understand why Tamaraga was in conflict with the princes and ministers of the royal court.
The object of protection of Tamaragarh is all the people, regardless of high or low, and the princes and ministers regard the people in the territory as their private property. He had a long-term vision and saw how to make the king's court long and stable, so strong that he could be stable and prosperous without relying on him. Not only the princes and ministers did not understand it, but the people who benefited also couldn't understand it.
As the businessman said, the closer you are to the holy city, the stricter the interrogation on the road, and the atmosphere is heavy and depressing.
In addition to the decoction that must be boiled every day, Yaoying spends a lot of money to buy some medicinal materials every time she goes to a market, and she cooks a few cans of medicine every day. A lingering pungent smell.
When asked, Yaoying said that her husband was seriously ill. She was just asking the Buddha to save her husband to visit the holy city. Everyone saw that Tamara Gha never got out of the carriage and had to take medicine and eat every day. All of her drinks were sent into the carriage, believing it was true, sympathizing and admiring her.
An elderly Hu woman saw that Yaoying's eyes were blue from exhaustion every day, and she sighed: "Your family man is not useful, and you will never leave him. The Buddha will definitely bless you!"
Yaoying's eyelids jumped, but she never said that the regent was useless.
When the soldiers interrogated, Yaoying had not opened the curtain, and the surrounding believers explained for her that the soldiers were only extra vigilant against the young men who were alone. Seeing that Yaoying's paperwork was complete, they heard about her from other people. A weak woman came to seek medical treatment with her husband who was seriously ill and did not embarrass her.
The journey went smoothly, and when I arrived at a star city not far from the holy city, the guards were replaced by four-armed knights from the nobles and princes.
