Chapter five hundred and eighty first eating fast and praying to Buddha
Zhangjiazhuang stands on the flat ground, only about three miles away from the county town.
The walls of the manor are very high and thick. There are places where archers stand and there is also a viewing building. They do not look like a manor, but rather like a castle.
There is a small temple in the northeast corner of the manor. The temple enshrines the golden body of the Buddha, and there are two monks, one master and one disciple.
The temples and monks are all offered by Zhang Guangcheng, and they are his family temples.
Inside the Main Hall.
Zhang Guangcheng, who was in his fifties, wore a monk's robe and knelt in front of the gilded Buddha's golden body with disheveled hair. He grabbed the rosary, the treasure was solemn, and chanted the Diamond Sutra.
A young monk with beautiful eyes accompanied him to recite scriptures. An old monk tapped the wooden fish regularly.
Sandalwood burns, the hall is filled with smoke, and it is very Zen.
Zhang Guangcheng has been a wealthy man for more than 20 years. He has been drinking and sweet in the first ten years. In the next ten years, he has eaten vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name. In his later years, he has the idea of becoming a monk.
"Da da da da!"
A burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and Zhang Guangcheng's eldest son Zhang Yongyuan walked in quickly, breaking the Zen meaning in the Great Hall.
The two monks looked up at Zhang Yongyuan, clasped their hands together and said, "Amitabha." Then they stood up and left.
"Is there anything wrong?" Zhang Guangcheng sighed and opened his eyes and asked.
"Father, a large number of people are heading straight for us." Zhang Yongyuan walked to Zhang Guangcheng, knelt down and said.
"Do you know who it is?" Zhang Guangcheng lowered his eyes, clasped his hands together and asked.
"It's from Wu Nian, the tiger in Liaodong." Zhang Yongyuan nodded and said.
"The disaster comes. When the peak is strong, the decline is weak, and when the moon is full, the loss is lost. This is the end of our Zhang family." Zhang Guangcheng opened his eyes slightly, sighing and liberation, and said.
Zhang Yongyuan frowned. The older the old man, the more weird the temper he had. What does it mean to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name all day long?
And say depressing words.
"Why should my father be so pessimistic? Is there any difference between Wu Nian and the Mongol Yuan people and Liaodong generals? As long as we give money, we can have a harmonious relationship with them. The Zhang family can stand firm."
Zhang Yongyuan retorted.
"Oh." Zhang Guangcheng looked at his son and sighed. This son was like himself in his early years, dared to act, fearless, and cruel.
Is there any difference between Liaodong generals, the Mongol Yuan people, and Wu Nian?
There is really a difference.
People from Liaodong generals can deceive or bribe.
The Mongols could be afraid, bribed, but not deceived.
Wu Nian cannot deceive or bribe. It is like a stone without gaps, and the oil and salt cannot be entered.
Such people are the most terrifying.
"Do whatever you want, just do whatever you want. It's up to you." Zhang Guangcheng thought of this, and stopped talking, put his hands together, knelt in front of the Buddha's golden body, and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
"Father. You... hey." Zhang Yongyuan felt breathless when he looked at his father's appearance. He sighed and stood up, stamped his feet and left.
It is impossible to stop.
It can't be blocked.
After Zhang Yongyuan left the temple, he turned to his confidant slave and said, "Go and ask Miss Wang to prepare. I have been raising her for ten years, and it is time for her to contribute to me."
“Prepare the highest-level banquet.”
"Calculate the silver, gold, cloth, and granaries in the treasury."
"Yes." The trusted slave responded and turned around and left.
"I don't believe it. What's the difference between Wu Nian and the Liaodong generals and the Mongolian Yuan people?" Zhang Yongyuan sneered and quickly walked to the door of the manor. He opened the door and asked the slaves to put away their swords and wait for Wu Nian.
Miss Wang's name is Wang Xuanji. This year, she is born in the country with a beautiful and beautiful country. Because of the decline of family, she almost fell into chaos. He saved her and helped her take revenge. He kept her in the mansion and taught her how to use her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and to serve men in case of emergency.
He planned to find an opportunity to give Wang Xuanji to Wu Nian as his concubine.
"General. The Zhangjia Manor is ahead." A large group of people surrounded Wu Nian. Li Tianbao walked forward along the avenue. Zhangjiazhuang appeared in front. Li Tianbao pointed at the manor road.
"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded and rode his horse. After a while, he arrived at the door of the manor.
"Li Tianbao?" Zhang Yongyuan met Li Tianbao, narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed a hint of murderous intent. As soon as Wu Nian's army came to Jinghai County, Wu Nian's people suddenly visited his manor.
It must be related to Li Tianbao.
But Zhang Yongyuan couldn't figure it out. His family has always been very secretive in their work, and even the Mongols could get away with it. Why did Li Tianbao know?
Before Zhang Yongyuan could think too much, he quickly bent down to salute Wu Nian and said, "This master. I am Zhang Yongyuan. I don't know why this master came to my Zhangjiazhuang?"
"I am Wu Nian. Come find your father." Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Yongyuan, then waved his right hand.
The hundreds of households who followed him immediately greeted him and brought soldiers into the crowd. The entire Zhangjiazhuang was in chaos in an instant.
Whether it was the elderly, women, slaves, or guards, they were all invited out.
Zhang Yongyuan suddenly felt something was wrong, and Wu Nian actually came in person?!!!!!!
Sweat was rising on his head, but he didn't dare to resist at all. He could only laugh with force, hold his fists and salute, "Greetings to General Sui Han."
"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded, still no intention of dismounting. Li Tianbao sneered Zhang Yongyuan.
"General. Zhang Guangcheng is in the manor." Soon after, a hundred households walked out and bent down to report to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian turned over and got off the horse, turned around and said to his personal soldiers, "Please take care of them all, no one is allowed to run away."
"yes."
The personal soldiers responded. Wu Nian and Li Tianbao entered the manor together.
"General." Zhang Yongyuan's sweat was raining and he quickly wanted to chase after him. However, he was stopped by the vicious personal soldiers. The personal soldiers held the hilt of the knife around his waist and said in a sequel: "Don't test my bottom line. If you dare to take another step, I will slaughter you."
Zhang Yongyuan suddenly became decadent and stood there in fear.
What should I do now?
He has always been smart and capable, but he was at a loss for a moment.
Wu Nian and Li Tianbao were along the corridor, with personal soldiers standing guard on both sides. Soon after, they arrived at the small temple and entered the Mainland Hall.
A team of personal soldiers scattered in the Main Hall, staring at Zhang Guangcheng.
"You are Zhang Guangcheng?" Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Guangcheng's dress, then looked at the arrangements around him, especially the golden body of the Buddha, and mocked him: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?"
"If you are so scared, why don't you raise your butcher's knife and start killing. People block people and Buddha block people and Buddha blocks them."
"Please be careful in front of Buddha." Zhang Guangcheng had already learned Wu Nian's identity from his personal soldiers, sighed, clasped his hands together, and said.
"I have killed people and set fire in my life, slaughtered the city and destroyed the country. I have no connection with the Buddha. I don't need to be cautious." Wu Nian waved his hand, then came to Zhang Guangcheng to sit down, looked up and said, "Old boy, I know what you have done. I will ask you one sentence."
