Lao Wang, when I say that, I think you are really handsome!
Tang Ping said with a smile, this is really not a lie. In terms of appearance, Wang Xuance is definitely at the T1 level.
A humble gentleman is the best way to describe him.
"How about you follow Prince Yelona? I think Prince Yelona... is in pretty good health."
"Ping Guo Gong..." Wang Xuance was also a little bit dumbfounded. Who would have thought that he would actually be attracted by this Yelona.
"Okay, okay, just kidding." Tang Ping comforted Wang Xuance, then walked to an iron armor in the camp and slapped the breastplate with his hands.
"This armor is pretty good!"
Nayerona didn't expect the other party's topic to change so much, but this armor was indeed his favorite, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out hunting and kept it in his tent.
"Of course it's good. This is the Lolita plate armor from Europa. It has extremely powerful defense."
Tang Ping naturally recognized this set of armor. Indeed, as Jerona said, it was a product of Europe and was also commonly known as lobster armor.
I just didn’t expect it to reach Tianzhu so early.
"Can you defend against swords?"
"The sword does not hurt!"
"Can it protect against bows and arrows?"
"Haha, even within five steps, the bow and arrow can't hurt me at all."
Seeing how proud the other party was, Tang Ping smiled slightly and asked, "Then I wonder if I can try using our weapons?"
After Tang Ping finished speaking, the guards from Jerome moved closer to him and looked at Tang Ping warily.
I don't know if it was because of arrogance or something, but when Tang Ping and the others came in, they didn't search them or ask them to put their weapons outside.
Yerona seemed to feel that Tang Ping was overestimating his abilities, and nodded indifferently: "Okay, you give it a try."
"Rengui, try it."
As soon as Tang Ping finished speaking, Xue Rengui raised his hand. Naturally, there was no need to aim at this distance, and there was a loud bang.
A gap as big as the mouth of a bowl suddenly appeared on the chest of Nayero's proud lobster armor.
Jeroena was startled by the loud noise at first, and then saw the terrifying hole in his armor. His eyes were wide open and he couldn't say a word.
The guards protecting him even forgot to draw their swords.
As the bodyguards who personally protect Jerona, they naturally know the defensive capabilities of the armor.
Just chopping with the scimitars in their hands can only leave a white mark on the armor. Let alone opening such a big hole, even cutting through it is extremely difficult.
Tang Ping turned the armor at an angle so that it was facing Jeroena, then he walked around behind the armor and said, "It seems that our weapons are more powerful."
Through the big hole in the armor's chest, Jeroena directly saw Tang Ping's disgusting face behind him, only to realize that it didn't just penetrate the front of the armor, but penetrated the entire armor.
When they came back to their senses, they discovered that the round pipe that made the loud noise in Xue Rengui's hand was pointed at Yelona intentionally or unintentionally.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Not to mention seeing it before, I had never thought that my favorite armor would be broken into pieces like this.
"Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus!" Tang Ping said seriously.
Anyway, I haven’t seen Jeroena, so it’s just what I say?
"Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus?" Jeroena opened his eyes wide and looked at the dark barrel of the gun pointing at him.
The sound and power just now can be said to be the anger of the Buddha. When the sound was made, the pipe did seem to have fire, but I didn't know what the lotus was.
But none of this mattered anymore. Hierona asked with a gloomy face: "What do you want?"
"Didn't we just say that? Master Sanzang came with the customs clearance document of our Tang Dynasty, and he represents our Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he has obtained permission from Nalanda Temple to study Buddhism in your country, so he still has Please ask Prince Yelona to release Master Tripitaka."
"What if I don't agree?" Jerona looked at Tang Ping and then at Xue Rengui: "Will you kill me?"
"This...Prince Jerona shouldn't want to try it, right?"
"Just give it a try." Yelona's answer was beyond Tang Ping's expectation. He directly said to the guards around him: "You all get out."
"Yes!" The guards responded, and then they all retreated. Only Tang Ping and Yelona were left in the tent.
"You go ahead, but if I die, the guards outside know that they can't survive unless they take you down, so they will definitely attack you with all their might."
Tang Ping and others did not expect that the other party would act so unconventionally. They thought of capturing Jeroena as a hostage, which was indeed considered a success.
But it seems that there is no difference whether the hostage is captured or not. This kid's words don't seem to be false. Does he really not take his own life seriously?
Tang Ping and Wang Xuance looked at each other, and then Tang Ping asked with some uncertainty: "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Yerona said with some pride: "I have the blessing of the Buddha, and the divine monk has already calculated that I will have a calamity this year, but I will be reborn in Nirvana after the calamity. So don't threaten me with death. !”
Tang Ping was stunned again. Is this person really stupid or pretending to be stupid? It looked like he truly believed that Buddha would protect him and that he could be reborn even after death.
This is really a bit tricky. It is true that Tianzhu is a Buddhist country.
But along the way, Tang Ping discovered that it was the common people who believed in gods and Buddhas more, and those powerful people in India seemed to respect gods and Buddhas.
But if there is a conflict between gods and Buddhas and his own interests, then he does not have to believe in gods and Buddhas.
Otherwise, if the Buddha said that he would lay down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, why would so many powerful people fight for their territory?
What the gods and Buddhas say is that they only put them on the altar for their own convenience in ruling the common people below.
Just look at the thousand-year history of this kind of thing in China and you will know how many times Buddhas have been honored and destroyed.
One of the reasons why Sanwu destroyed Buddhism was simply because Buddhism did not pay taxes and used large amounts of usury to plunder people's wealth.
But I really didn’t expect that Yelona, as the first heir to Zhongtianzhu, would actually believe in Buddhism.
For a while, several people actually froze in the camp.
"Prince Yelona, you should also know that our Tang Dynasty is a very powerful country. It is impossible for you to ask us for such a huge amount of money to redeem people. It is related to the national system, and we will not agree to it no matter what. "
"It's up to you whether you agree or not. Anyway, don't think about taking the person away if you don't give it." This Prince Yelona felt like a lunatic who couldn't get enough of oil and salt.
The next few words he said shocked Tang Ping even more.
"Furthermore, your Datang is so rich. I heard that your Tang Chamber of Commerce alone earns tens of thousands of dollars every year. All those perfumes, spirits, tea, etc. are all huge profits."
"You... know about Datang!"
This world is different from Tang Ping's history, because Datang used to be surrounded by other countries in all directions, and Datang was trapped in the middle of the Central Plains.
Therefore, their name did not spread very far in the past few years. After coming to Tianzhu, almost no one here knew that there was a country like Datang.
But now from Jeroena's mouth, Tang Ping discovered that he actually knew a lot about the Tang Dynasty.
"Of course I know." Jeroena grinned: "If I didn't know, would I have to hold every cat and dog from wherever they came from and ask for such a high ransom?"
"Not only do I know about the Tang Dynasty, but I also know that Tang Sanzang has a close relationship with the owner of Tang's Trading Company. That's why I asked for such a high ransom. I just didn't expect that you would actually come."
Judging from what he meant, he actually knew some of Tang Sanzang's background, and he was detaining him with the idea of having dates but not having them.
It's best if you can get a ransom, but if you can't get it, forget it.
"How... did you know this?" Tang Ping asked with a sullen face. You must know that Tang Sanzang was detained more than a year ago. At that time, someone actually revealed the news about the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu.
Is there any unknown conspiracy behind this?
"Where did I know? It doesn't hurt to tell you." Jeroena said: "A few years ago, there was a divine monk who served under my command. He told me all this."
It’s the holy monk again…
"Do you believe him that much?"
"Of course I believe it, he allowed me to see all kinds of miracles!" Jerona said quite firmly.
"What about the holy monk?"
"Hey!" Yerona said with some pity: "He left Tianzhu a year ago, and there is still no whereabouts of him."
It seemed that the divine monk was behind the seizure of Tang Sanzang, but I heard from Yelona that he left a year ago, and it would be difficult to find him now.
"Since Prince Yelona believes in Buddhism so much, I wonder if I can ask Buddha to be the mediator and let our people go?" Tang Ping felt that to break the deadlock now, he could only deceive the other party.
It would be easy to capture Hierona, but it would be impossible for the two hundred of them to escape unscathed from the camp of eight or nine hundred guards.
Tang Ping also didn't want the best warriors of the Tang Dynasty to die in a foreign country because of a mission of the unscrupulous system.
So if you can avoid taking action, it's better not to take action.
"What?"
Prince Yelona thought he heard wrongly: "What did you ask Buddha to do?"
"I asked the Buddha to come and make peace. If the Buddha comes forward, will Prince Yelona be willing to turn our hostility into friendship?"
Tang Ping repeated what he just said.
"Can you really invite the Buddha?" Prince Yelona didn't believe it. Even the holy monks in the past used miracles to convey the Buddha's words.
No one has ever actually seen Buddha come to this world.
"I have said so, and of course it is true."
Tang Ping vowed: "You also know that the purpose of our coming is to bring back Tang Sanzang. As long as you let us confirm Tang Sanzang's safety first, then I can invite the Buddha."
In order to prove that what he said was completely true, Tang Ping pointed at Xue Rengui's sniper rifle and said solemnly: "It is said that this weapon is called Buddha's Wrath of Fire Lotus, which was given by Buddha. In fact, my relationship with Buddha is quite good. "
