Turbulent Times Chapter 61: Wang Junlin’s various temptations
When Wang Junlin heard the words, he couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, but he pretended to be stunned. He thought it was a temptation from King Bo Duo.
King Bo Duo sneered, and said: "Now it seems that the person who assassinated that idiot Hulu Nubi is naturally you, and six days ago, the 2,500 Sui troops in the Sui Dynasty mission have been under our surveillance. Excuse me, so I have been wondering for the past few days who poisoned the fodder of the Wangting tribe and the water source of the Ashina tribe respectively at night, presumably these people are the ambush soldiers you brought from Gaotai City!"
Wang Junlin's complexion changed drastically, and his heart sank to the bottom. Since King Bo Duo had already expected the existence of such a team, how could he be unprepared. In other words, he himself was a bait, and King Podo wanted to destroy the five hundred special forces he had worked so hard to train.
Thinking of this, Wang Junlin suddenly stuck his head out of the car window, and at some point a rough iron whistle appeared in his mouth. It is sharp and has strong penetrating power. Even in the wind and sand, it still clearly reaches the ears of every Sui soldier. In the past six months, they heard this whistle sound countless times, and it even became an instinctive conditioned reflex, so they hid themselves in the wind and sand without hesitation, and ran away with all their strength.
Almost at the same time as they fled, thousands of cavalry galloped towards Gaochang City ahead.
"Although I am in the Western Regions, I also know that many officials in the Sui Dynasty said that your credit comes from your viciousness. Many people said that you do not know how to train troops, and your ability to lead troops to fight is very ordinary. Now it seems that you use The art of poison may be secondary, but the real skill lies in training soldiers. Recently, I am planning to have a guardian cavalry for our divine religion, and this task may be entrusted to you." King Podo did not stop the king from the beginning to the end. Junlin whistled, and his greatest interest now seemed to be Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin is too lazy to talk now, his loyal subordinates have been exposed, Bo Duo Fawang will definitely take precautions, it is too difficult to save himself in the Turkic territory, maybe he can save him now Only my own cheap master Changkuzi, but although Changkuzi is powerful, but beside him there is a Boduo Dharma King who is not weaker than Changkuzi, and there are thousands of Turkic cavalry, Changkuzi really has a chance to rescue himself?
However, now Wang Junlin can vaguely see the mind of the Boduo Fawang. The Boduo Fawang doesn't care about the life and death of the Turkic people and the life and death of his five hundred subordinates. What he cares about is making more people become Nestorians believer.
So, when the wind stopped, King Boduo himself got out of the carriage and recited scriptures to the dead Turkic commander, because this commander was a fanatic and the true confidant of King Boduo. The long-awaited Wu San got out of the sand and stabbed him directly. His entire head was cut off by Wu San with a knife. The Turkic cavalry found his head and put it with the body. A Turkic cavalry was cutting open the commander. The belly of the horse, the horse itself was also seriously injured. After the Turkic cavalry emptied all the internal organs of the horse, they put the body of the commander in and buried it on the spot.
"Life is as short as a shooting star and as fragile as a mayfly. Only the brilliance I teach can last forever. Only by believing in the teachings of the Heavenly Lord Dharma King can you enter the Paradise and be reborn after death..."
King Boduo used a unique rhythm to praise the shortness and fragility of life, and told the greatness and eternity of Nestorianism. All the Turkic cavalry looked solemn and yearning.
…
…
No matter where he goes, King Podo always has books by his side. Even when he was chasing and killing Master Suo Daji himself, there were still two horses without cavalry dragging the books he wanted to read.
In addition to the teachings of Nestorianism in these books, Wang Junlin unexpectedly discovered that there were some books on mathematics and medicine in them, especially a book called "Elements of Geometry", which surprised Wang Junlin even more.
As we all know, "Elements of Geometry" is a mathematical work written by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. It is the foundation of European mathematics and the first work to propose perspective, conic section, spherical geometry and number theory. Euclid used the axiomatic method and became a model for establishing any knowledge system. Since its appearance three thousand years ago, it has been regarded as an example of rigorous thinking that must be followed. Moreover, this work is the foundation of Euclidean geometry, and it is the most widely circulated book in the West after the Bible.
So, when Wang Junlin remembered that Nestorianism originated in Europe, he was no longer surprised that this book appeared in the hands of King Boduo.
Wang Junlin actually studied very well when he was in later generations. Except for English, his grades in other subjects were those of top students. Therefore, he read this "Elements of Geometry" with the geometric knowledge of later generations, and the learning progress was naturally very fast.
So, when Wang Junlin deliberately started discussing the conic section and spherical geometry in the book with His Holiness Bo Duo, His Holiness Bo Duo was taken aback by Wang Junlin's learning ability or comprehension.
For this reason, Dharma King Boduo stared at Wang Junlin for a long time with an extremely complicated expression. Especially after he discussed these two issues with Wang Junlin, which gave him a clearer understanding of conic section and spherical geometry, he couldn't say a word when he looked at Wang Junlin.
The Dharma King Bo Duo was selected from millions of people by the previous Dharma King. He has shown extraordinary wisdom and understanding since he was a child, and his learning ability is unparalleled. However, he has studied mathematics and geometry problems all his life. Although he only spent a small part of the day, he has never understood the problem. As a result, Wang Junlin took half a day to understand it, and it seems to be better than "The Elements of Geometry". What is said in this classic work is more transparent. This made His Holiness Bo Duo very embarrassed.
The result of this is that when the Bodo Dharma King looked at Wang Jun again, there was a strange kind of doting in his eyes. Of course, Wang Junlin knew that this kind of pampering would make King Bodo not let him go, but he could tolerate him more. For example, after finding out that he hadn't really become a Nestorian for a long time, he could still treat him enough. patience so as not to kill him. In Wang Junlin's view, as long as he is alive, he has a chance to escape.
Dharma King Bo Duo now feels that the appearance of Wang Junlin and the fall of Wang Junlin in his own hands are all guided by the Celestial Dharma King. In short, he increasingly believes that Wang Junlin is the most suitable candidate for the next His Holiness Dharma King.
For a long time, Dharma King Bodo believed that any knowledge needs to be accumulated and precipitated, and there is no one who is born with knowledge in this world.
Even if Wang Junlin is very good at a certain aspect, it is just a product of a flash of inspiration.
He has seen too many child prodigies, but he prefers to become a profound person after studying hard rather than supernatural powers.
With the deepening of his understanding of Wang Junlin, he found that Wang Junlin was the best choice in terms of quickness, decisiveness, courage, forbearance, memory, comprehension and other characteristics that His Holiness the Dharma King most needs. In addition, he also found that Wang Junlin seemed different from everyone he had seen. It's just that he didn't see this difference clearly until Wang Junlin showed his amazing talent in profound knowledge such as "Elements of Geometry", and he faintly discovered it—it seems that there are people who are born with knowledge. He was greatly shocked.

Compared to the Central Plains, the Western Regions are vast and uninhabited. Even though Gaochang City belongs to the Western Turkic sphere of influence, it still takes seven or eight days to travel from the Western Turkic Royal Court to Gaochang City.
King Bo Duo's trip to Gaochang City was certainly not a random idea. This in itself was a plan at the same time that Khan Tongyehu sent troops to the Ashina tribe. There was news early on that Tongyehu Khan, Ashina and Khurunubi fought against each other, and all three lost and suffered heavy losses.
Now the three parties have temporarily ceased fighting and rested, and although they already know that the Sui people are instigating, this does not melt the hatred that has formed between them.
In addition to their traditional income such as their own cattle, sheep and horses, the tax revenue brought by the three important Western Region cities and more than 20 important towns under their jurisdiction is now a very important source of income for them.
The most important city of Gaochang is under the control of Khan Tongyehu and King Boduo, while the other two cities are in the hands of Ashina and Khurnubi respectively. In the war at the headquarter, Tong Yehu Khan suffered a lot of losses, King Bo Duo had to come and lie down in person to ensure that Gaochang City continued to be under the control of the royal court.

After the dusty weather, if you sweat a little more, it will make your body dirty and uncomfortable. Wang Junlin can even rub a dirt pill out and throw it to the Turkic cavalry, saying that it is a pill that can poison hundreds of people. Poison, and the Turkic cavalry will carefully put away the treasure.
For this kind of deceptive little trick, the Podo King naturally would not pay attention to it. But in fact, this is just one of Wang Junlin's many temptations.
Wang Junlin finally couldn't bear the filth on his body, but there was no water source nearby, so he planned to use a method known by later generations - sand bath, to solve this uncomfortable problem.
Under the curious gazes of King Boduo and the Turkic cavalry, Wang Junlin started frying sand with an iron pan. After a while, there was a pile of hot sand in the tent.
Then, Wang Junlin took off his clothes and quickly rubbed the hot sand back and forth on his body. It was very comfortable to do so, using the hot sand washed with a little water, ironing the skin, Wang Junlin's whole body was red and steaming after a while, but apart from the sand in his hair, the dirt on his body But it has been cleaned.
When Wang Junlin put on clean clothes again, he felt that his whole body seemed to be a little lighter, and the comfort revealed in his expression made the Turkic cavalry envious.
