I may have played a fake fantasy

Chapter 98

Facing the woman's questioning, the man showed a pained look on his face. He opened his mouth to explain, but he swallowed the words when he reached his mouth. In the end, he had no choice but to raise his glass and drink it down.

Seeing that the man still didn't change and didn't want to defend himself, the woman smiled silently and disappointed, then she got up and went into the kitchen, and never came out again.

The man stared at the back of the woman leaving, even if she hid in the kitchen, his eyes still stayed on the cloth curtain on the kitchen door frame to block the line of sight, he felt that this curtain not only cut off his line of sight, but also cut off the distance between them. relationship between.

The wine kept decreasing, and when the flagon could no longer pour out any more wine, the man got up and left without saying anything.The back of the man looked very lonely, and he didn't lead the horse when he left, as if he had forgotten. In the end, the horse untied the rein with its mouth and followed the owner step by step.

After the man left, the Boundary Tavern returned to calm. I don't know if this calm belonged to the tavern or the people in the tavern.

……

Ye Shang teleported to the entrance of the main hall of Jinshan Temple. As soon as he appeared, he saw two well-dressed men guarding the entrance. These two men looked like ordinary guards, but Ye Shang could vaguely see the purpose of killing from them. Qi, different from the general brave and ruthless people, these two people are more like...soldiers.

"Sir, please come in, my master is waiting for you." The two guards bowed and clasped their fists, and one of them said loudly in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. This performance strengthened Ye Shang's judgment, and he also roughly guessed who was inside. identity of.

Pushing open the door of the main hall, Ye Shang stepped in, and first saw a man in a brocade suit kneeling on a futon with his back turned to him, and beside him stood two middle-aged men and Master Xuanzang, who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed.

"But Mr. Ye is here?" the man in brocade uniform asked, his voice full of majesty, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he stood up and turned around, looking at Ye Shang.

This person was Li Shimin. Judging from what he meant, it was estimated that he was visiting in a micro-clothes, so he didn't notify in advance, and when he came out, he didn't arrange a guard of honor according to the standard for emperors to travel.

After confirming that the person who came was Li Shimin, Ye Shang clasped his fists in salute, but he found it difficult to address him. Seeing that the other party obviously didn't want to call him out of identity, he thought about it, and tentatively said, "Master Li... "

"Ah? Hahaha, hahaha, good, good, no one has ever called me that... well, I have been called that, but I like this name very much, so let's call it Master Li." Li Shimin succeeded to the throne (usurped the throne) He used to be a prince, but now he is an emperor. No one has ever called him by such a folk name. He also seemed very happy to have such a rare experience.

"Master Li likes it, so I'll call it that. I don't know why Master Li is here this time?" Ye Shang has watched some movies and TV dramas, and most of the emperors visiting in micro-services will end up with the title of "Master", so After he tried this, he was really not found guilty of being disrespectful.

"Recently, I feel that strife has re-emerged in the world, demons are wreaking havoc on the world, and people are living in dire straits, so I came to ask the Buddha for help." When Li Shimin said this, he also clasped his hands and bowed to the Buddha statue to show his piety.

Hearing Li Shimin's answer, Ye Shang curled his lips inwardly. First of all, in the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were respected simultaneously, and the royal family respected Lao Tzu, who also had the surname Li.Secondly, in the first year of Zhenguan in history, Xuanzang sent a report to Lao Li, wanting to go to obtain the scriptures, but Lao Li did not approve. Later, he had to "follow the charter and go to Tianzhu privately (almost considered a smuggling)" before going. This shows that Lao Li is not that enthusiastic about Buddhism.

Of course, the game is now based on the story of "Journey to the West", which is why Li Shimin's performance is quite different from the history.Moreover, as the emperor, Li Shimin's posture of worshiping Buddha can also win people's hearts, or show his attitude of worrying about the people.

"Amitabha, the benefactor has a heart." Xuanzang suddenly opened his eyes and said, since Li Shimin came as a "lord", he could only call him the benefactor.

"Where, where. Everyone, let's sit down and talk." After Li Shimin finished the play, he sat down on a futon. With his permission, everyone present also sat down.

After everyone sat down, Li Shimin talked about the business: "Mr. Ye, I heard that Master Xuanzang once taught you how to plant money tree seedlings, and invited you to come here with treasures after planting. I wonder if we outsiders have the honor to join us. What about viewing?”

"I'm afraid it won't work. Gein overlooked the next moment and was robbed by a monster before he harvested the treasure, so he couldn't take it out for everyone to taste." Ye Shang kept staring at Li Shimin when he was talking, and said in his heart. I have traveled so far and arranged for monsters to rob me, so I have to make it up to me.

How could Li Shimin not understand Ye Shang's mind? He smiled helplessly and said, "Shiji (the word is not called Biao here, because Ye Shang doesn't know Yuwenshi and the word Renren), you take that Give the pearl to Mr. Ye, otherwise his trip will be in vain."

The elegant middle-aged man sitting on Li Shimin's right hand stood up in response, took out a big pearl from his body, came to Ye Shang and smiled, "Brother Ye, please accept it."

As soon as Ye Shang heard his name, he stood up immediately, and when the other party handed out the pearl, he took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you sir. Dare I ask you, is your surname Yuwen?"

"Hehe, my surname is Yuwen. I wonder if Brother Ye has any advice?" Yuwen Shiji said, stroking his long beard, as if he had a feud with Ye Shang.

"I don't dare, it's just that I had some unpleasantness with the people under my husband, I hope you don't blame me." At first, Ye Shang thought that Li Shimin brought this person here to frighten him, because it is impossible for Lao Li not to know that Yuwen Shi and others Contradictions with him, but after a second thought, I denied it. Lao Li should not be so boring and reckless.

"My brother is serious. I know about that matter. It was those people who made mistakes first. My brother should teach them a lesson. On the contrary, my brother should not blame me for not being strict." look.

In fact, Li Shimin deliberately wanted to punish those officials who still claimed to be people in the Tiance Mansion. Now that he had abolished the mansion, he naturally didn't want others to use this banner again, but those guys wanted to gain the glory of his emperor and seek Interests, completely disregarding one's attitude and face, must be severely punished.Second, Wang Gongcao and his gang have filled their own pockets for many years, and they have been in the fish and meat village. If such people are not dealt with, it will only make Chao Gang worse.

So Li Shimin specially asked Ye Shang, a stunned young man who didn't know the inside story, to deal with it, and made him vaguely feel that he had instructed him to do this, so that he could really tear himself apart with Wang Gongcao and others and use this to punish them.But if you do this, the old superior Yuwen Shiji, who is Wang Gongcao and others, will have to suffer, otherwise things will seem unreasonable.

The final result was that Yuwenshiji was fined for one year and demoted one level. This treatment could make many people shut up. Fortunately, Yuwenshiji understood what Li Shimin meant and was willing to be punished to cooperate with the performance. This was in his heart He never really hated Ye Shang.

Anyway, when Ye Shang saw that Yuwen Shiji didn't bear any grudges against him, a stone in his heart fell to the ground.Then Ye Shang secretly checked the pearl, and found that it was a treasure worth 100 million and could be sold directly to the system NPC. Now, the unhappiness in Ye Shang's heart disappeared, at least the work was not in vain.

"Amitabha, the monster that Donor Ye encountered was the one that caused trouble in the Land and Water Dharma Assembly?" Xuanzang interrupted and asked Ye Shang to confirm the monster's information.

"Master, it's that monster. It's so fast, it's impossible to catch up to it after it has snatched something." Ye Shangxin said that the question was coming, and he immediately answered seriously.

"Fortunately, the benefactor didn't catch up to it. I saw that monster has great power. Although the benefactor is powerful, he may not be its opponent. Fortunately, the other party has no intention of harming you. Otherwise, the benefactor may suffer. The poor monk thought, That monster's heart is not extremely bad, it must have some special reason for doing this this time, and if the benefactor encounters it in the future, it is better not to make it an enemy."

Xuanzang's remarks seem to be out of the compassion of the monks, but to Ye Shang who has "ulterior motives", it has a different interpretation.

Ye Shang rubbed his chin with his hands, and said to himself: "This Xuanzang is obviously reminding me that the old monster is one of our own."
