Dadu, Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the Prime Minister took off his clothes and sat alone in his study, he turned over a file in his hand and read it over and over, with a slightly hesitant look on his face that was quite heroic and decisive.
Although he was a powerful figure in the Yuan and Meng Dynasties, he admired Chinese studies since he was a child and had a great Confucian as his teacher. Therefore, he often wore Han clothes at home. The bookshelves in this study also contained many classics and other classics.
While he was thinking about it, a bookboy waiting outside the door said respectfully: "Sir, King Qian Sui of Ruyang and Mr. Wu have arrived."
"Please!"
Tuotuo perked up and while speaking, he also stood up from the Taishi chair, turned around from behind the desk and faced the door.
The study door opened, and two people walked in one after another. It was obvious that they had a close relationship with Tuotuo and had no intention of seeing anyone else.
In front of him was a middle-aged man dressed as a Mongolian noble. He had a majestic physique, a stern face, and strong military traces in his every move.
Behind him is an old man with gray hair and a childlike face, wearing a simple scholar's blue shirt.
This middle-aged man was named Chahan Temuer. He was worshiped as Taiwei and was given the title of King of Ruyang. He and Tuotuo had known each other since childhood and entered the official career together. The year before last, they worked together to overthrow the powerful minister Boyan who monopolized the country's affairs and was domineering. All these great achievements were reused by the emperor.
Tuotuo was the prime minister, determined to eradicate the old evils; Chahan was the general, leading the army to suppress the rebellion everywhere.
The two are regarded as the strongest political allies, and both are determined to do their best to restore Yuanmeng, which is now in decline, to its original glory.
The old man's name was Wu Zhifang, who was originally a famous Confucian in the world. In his early years, he was appreciated by Tuotuo's father, Mazartai. Mazartai considered him to be one of Zhuge Kongming's first-rate wise men and invited him to teach his son's studies.
Not only did this man have a profound knowledge of the three religions, he also had an adventure in his early years. He obtained the martial arts secrets of the Quanzhen sect in the past, and practiced the "Xiantian Kung Fu" that Quanzhen founder Wang Chongyang relied on to dominate the world. He achieved this in the age of knowing his fate. The great master who enters the subtle world.
Tuotuo obtained all his civil and military skills from Wu Zhifang, and after he became an official, he relied on him as a think tank. Wu Zhifang was behind every major event he did in these years.
Now that Tuotuo was the prime minister, he also wanted to recommend Wu Zhifang to the court in return for his years of guidance and support.
However, Wu Zhifang had no desire for fame and only accepted the fictitious title of Jixian Bachelor. He still regarded himself as Tuotuo's chief staff member.
After the guests and hosts greeted each other, they took their seats.
"I invited you two to come here today because I just received a message from Fei Ge, the secret disciple of the 'Sky Eagle Cult'."
Tuotuo picked up the file from the desk and sent it to Chahan first.
Chahan quickly browsed through it, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, and then handed the file to Wu Zhifang, and then asked Tuotuo: "Tuotuo, where is the origin of Taoist Hu Long? How come I have never heard of it? Is there such a personage?"
Because they were good friends since childhood, and he inherited the Mongolian bold character, even though both parties were in high positions, he still called Tuo Tuo by his first name as in the past.
Tuotuo said: "Over the years, we have quietly laid a large net in the world. Although we cannot say that we are not careful, we should never miss a great master whose cultivation has reached a very low level. But I have checked the information in the past ten years. In all the archives, there is no information about Taoist Hu Yun at all, so it can be determined that he has never been to Middle-earth, otherwise as long as he has interacted with people, he should have left some traces."
At this moment, Wu Zhifang also read the file and said: "Since the fall of the Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty, many martial arts sects have been unwilling to join the new dynasty and have chosen to escape to the mountains or overseas. This Taoist Hu Huan has returned from overseas. Maybe he is the descendant of a certain sect who lived in seclusion overseas."
"This is the only explanation." Tuotuo nodded, "Sir, when you planned to throw the 'Dragon Sword' into the rivers and lakes, you wanted to provoke various factions to fight with each other, but you had no time to go against the imperial court.
"It's a pity that this plan has just begun to bear fruit, and the 'Dragon Slaying Sword' was taken away by Xie Xun and taken overseas. Although there were still disputes between the various factions, they were limited to old grudges and did not form the wave that the gentleman expected to sweep the entire world. Great calamity.
"Now that Taoist Hu Yun has the whereabouts of Xie Xun and the 'Dragon Sword', can we do something about it to continue the original unfinished plan?"
"Okay!" Chahan slapped his thigh hard and said, "If they heard the news about Xie Xun and the 'Dragon Sword', many people would rush to find Taoist Hu Long to ask for the news. But Taoist Hu Long is a As a great master, those people will definitely not be happy with him. Once someone bleeds to death, Taoist Hu Yun will immediately become a public enemy of the martial arts world. With his strength, it is impossible to say that one person can turn the world upside down. "
Wu Zhifang on the side said in deep thought: "Things may not be so easy. Judging from Taoist Hu Yun's performance in the 'Tianying Sect', he should be a man with a heart and a sophisticated heart. Even if he has a dispute with life, he may not be so easy. Kill him. At that time, those people in the world who are most concerned about face and grudges will most likely accept his virtue of holding hands while fearing his martial arts skills."
Chahan showed a ferocious smile on his face: "Mr. Wu, has he forgotten what happened to Yu Daiyan in Wudang in the past? Even if Hu Long is merciful, we can help him and put an end to this feud!"
Wu Zhifang slowly shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know how powerful the Grand Master is. As far as I'm concerned, as long as the masters of your Majesty come within a hundred feet of me, I will be alert. And as long as I find some traces of those people, I will be alert." Then there is no chance of escaping from me. The same principle applies to Taoist Huyong. If we want to put the blame on him, we have to follow him closely, but there is a risk of being noticed by him."
Chahan said with some distress: "What should we do? Can't we just give up? In recent years, those people in the world who claim to be heroes have caused a lot of trouble for the court, and many officials have had their heads cut off by them. This situation is getting worse in the south. , so that people are panicked, and some cowards are even unwilling to take up a job in the south."
Wu Zhifang said: "If you want to implement this plan, I have to go there personally."
Tuotuo said hurriedly: "I use your husband as my arm. There are many important things that I need to plan for you, and I can't control them for a moment. I would rather give up this plan and pursue other pursuits, and there is no reason for Mr. Lao to travel far away."
Wu Zhifang smiled and said: "For decades, the only great masters of the Subtle Realm in the world are us old guys, and it is really a bit deserted. I am not only here to implement this plan, but also to take a look at the Subtle Realm of Taoist Hu Yun. Whether the environment is worthy of its name.”
Tuotuo knew that this gentleman would never repent easily after making a decision. He could only agree at that time, and in order to cooperate with Wu Zhifang, he immediately issued an order to let Taoist Hu Yuan know about Xie Xun and the "Dragon Slaying Sword" as soon as possible. News of his whereabouts spread secretly.
While the three men were plotting their plans, Hu Long had already taken turns riding two white bears, heading west to the foot of Wudang Mountain.
