Chapter three, four and five, hidden secrets in the grottoes
"It is said that this treasure is extremely huge, comparable to the prosperity of Chang'an City. It can buy hundreds of thousands of troops." Cheng Xuanying said: "Taizong thought twice and did not take away this treasure, so I will take care of it here. In case of a big disaster
An unexpected incident occurred in the Tang Dynasty. I can offer this treasure to ensure the safety of Taizong's country."
"That's it!" Chen Ziang said: "I once saw a map left by Taizong, and Heisha City was marked on it. So I also know that there is a huge secret hidden here, and now I finally know the details."
Cheng Xuanying said: "Although I am in good health, I am old. You are a trustworthy person, so I told you about this so that you can be prepared. It can be regarded as a heavy burden entrusted to you by me."
Chen Ziang smiled bitterly and said: "This is a chess piece related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the juniors will try their best to protect it. But the world is so big, how can the juniors understand the final result?"
Cheng Xuanying nodded and said: "What you say is reasonable, but it is a bit pessimistic. You are still young and there is still a long way to go." Chen Ziang said: "The younger generation should bear in mind the Taoist priest's teachings."
The two of them looked at the cliffs of the Black Dragon Stream in silence. Chen Ziang added: "As far as I know, Xu Jingzhen came here because he heard the legend of the treasure and came to look for it. The Taoist priest must be on guard."
"Hmph! As long as the poor man is still there, no one can open this treasure at will." Cheng Xuanying snorted coldly and said: "By the way, I remembered a problem that I want to discuss with you."
Seeing Chen Ziang nod, Cheng Xuanying said: "Will the Queen tamper with the Tang Dynasty? This question has been in my heart for a long time."
Chen Ziang was silent for a moment and said: "This junior cannot be sure of the Queen's thoughts. But I can feel the Queen's nostalgia for Emperor Gaozong, so I am not worried about the future of the Tang Dynasty."
The words were a little vague, so Cheng Xuanying could only nod his head and said: "How to judge the Queen's actions is really difficult! We can only take one step and see one step at a time."
Chen Zi'ang understood what Cheng Xuanying was referring to and said: "Senior, although the skilled man is bold and not afraid of Qin Bashan, Xu Jingzhen and others, we still have to be more careful." Cheng Xuanying said: "I know that if I am so hesitant, I will be in trouble in the future.
There is no danger of disaster. That’s why I told you about the treasure!”
Chen Ziang's heart was filled with excitement as he realized Cheng Xuanying's trust in him. At the same time, in order to ensure Taizong's trust and prevent the Queen from seizing power, he was unwilling to execute Qin Bashan. Xu Jingzhen put himself in a dangerous situation.
"Don't talk about these, the overall situation is the most important, the country is the most important." Cheng Xuanying said. Chen Ziang also said: "Yes, the overall situation is the most important, the people are the most important." Cheng Xuanying was stunned, Chen Ziang said: "Only the people are at ease, the country is the most important.
It will naturally be peaceful.”
Cheng Xuanying was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

A group of people lived like this for more than a month, practicing martial arts while living and playing happily. The midsummer on the grassland was not too hot, and the prosperity grew like crazy. Just like Pei Ting, Ji Si and Zhou Meier, they were the three best in the military camp.
They can talk. The military camp is a lot more lively because of them.
Wei Da led his troops to train that day, and when he returned to the camp, he brought back a shocking news: Qin Bashan and the Duoxipeng tribe united to defeat Dujiezhi in one fell swoop! The Dujiezhi tribe was defeated and countless Uighurs were killed, so they had to go to
Longxi Road retreat.
After hearing the news, Pei Ting said: "Brother, this is your fault. If they had abolished their martial arts, how could there be today's massacre on the grassland." Cheng Xuanying's old face was green and his white face was white, but he did not speak.
Jiao Huiqing chuckled and said: "Third sister, don't talk about eldest brother, he puts the overall situation first. Haha, let's see how he protects Li Tangjiangshan. Let a jackal like Qin Bashan look after the house and the courtyard? Haha... How...
It’s not funny.” At the end of the sentence, Jiao Huiqing burst into tears from laughter.
Chen Ziang said in a deep voice: "Lao Jiao, Miss Pei, how can you say that you are a Taoist priest!" Cheng Xuanying said with emotion: "The poor Taoist is indeed wrong, and you should never expect these two turtle eggs! I am here to express my gratitude.
I will refer to Chen Daxia’s opinion on all major matters in the future.”
Jiao Huiqing nodded and said: "Brother, like me, has an upright nature. If you are wrong, you are wrong. I like to be so straightforward and clean." Cheng Xuanying was a little angry and cursed: "I have told you both, are you the eldest brother or not?
I’m the eldest brother!”
Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw that he was still so competitive in his eighties. Cheng Xuanying said: "How about I go over there and bring two turtle eggs over there?!"
Chen Ziang said: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, I'll discuss it carefully before making a decision." Everyone then expressed their own ideas, but there was no perfect solution.
On the second day, General Wang Er sent a messenger to inform everyone that the imperial court had decided to send 50,000 troops to help the Huihe people return to their homeland, and ordered the recruitment of strong generals who were good at fighting at the border. Shanyu Dao officers and soldiers have been dealing with Qin Bashan all year round.
The imperial court ordered General Wang to recommend candidates. General Wang recommended Wei Da.
The messenger said: "The imperial court has assembled a large army at Yumen Pass, and Chen Shiyi has been ordered to join the army. He and Wei Dazhao's military commander will set off immediately to rush to the front line!"
Jiao Huiqing clapped his hands and said: "Okay, the imperial court has finally sent out troops! The Queen of Heaven has convinced me!" Pei Ting held him back and whispered: "Don't be rude to the Queen of Heaven. Now Wei Da has become the imperial court.
If the news spreads, it will harm Chen Daxia and Wei Daxia."
Jiao Huiqing is a rough person, while Pei Ting is very familiar with officialdom. After hearing what she said, Jiao Huiqing hurriedly said: "That's right, I shouldn't call that bitch. I'm a person who is used to using rough words. Don't do it."
I'm sorry. I'll slowly change it, but I will definitely change it."
Chen Ziang said: "Taoist Master Cheng will stay in Heisha City. I asked General Wang to leave Wei Da's thousand elite soldiers with the Taoist Priest in case of emergencies, and to assist the Taoist Priest in handling some affairs." Cheng Xuanying nodded and said: "Well,
You all can go with peace of mind."
"Brother Jiao and Miss Pei are also staying to accompany the Taoist priest." Chen Ziang said: "Brothers Wei, Ji Si, Meier and I will set off for Yumen Pass tomorrow."
