Xiang Lian'er was about to turn around and lock the door when Xie Weifeng came over: "Miss Lian'er, there's no need to lock the door. Your house has been sold. This is the local rich man Wang. He bought your house for five hundred taels. This is Banknotes.”
Hearing this, Xiang Lian'er frowned and said, "I didn't say sell it... and I don't know the king either..."
"This is your Majesty's intention. After the three of them came to Beijing, since your Majesty has arranged a residence for them, they will not come back from now on. The money they sold can be used easily." Xie Weifeng said with a smile.
Xiang Lian'er looked at the banknote, then looked back at her house, and fell silent.
Seeing this, Yi Xiaodao approached Wang Yuanwai and took out a five hundred tael of silver notes: "Wang Yuanwai, my girl loves her family. In this way, we won't take any of your money. I'll give you these five hundred taels, and I hope that when we are away, You can take care of it so that it doesn't become deserted. If we come back one day, we need a place to stay, right?"
Seeing this change, everyone was stunned. Xie Weifeng saw that Yi Xiaodao had no intention of dropping the banknote he raised, so he couldn't hold on any longer. This is also the emperor's good intention. If Yi Xiaodao is unwilling and insists on it, it will not be good. Anyway, bringing Yi Xiaodao to the capital will be considered a job.
Wang Yuan was also a loyal person chosen by Xie Weifeng. He had lost money by buying this house for five hundred taels. He originally planned to have a good relationship with Yi Xiaodao. Seeing Yi Xiaodao's behavior, of course he was willing. He glanced at Xie Weifeng and saw Xie Weifeng nodded, so he accepted. After passing the banknote: "Brother Xiaodao, don't worry. I guarantee that Miss Lian'er's mansion will not be abandoned. Everyone will send people to clean it diligently."
The silent Xiang Lian'er looked at Yi Xiaodao and also laughed.
Xie Weifeng handed back the banknotes to Yuan Wang. Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er said goodbye to the people they knew in Wancheng and waved to those they didn't know. In the end, Yi Xiaodao surrendered to Fang Yuanwai and Magistrate Pan, and left Wancheng with Fang Long.
This was the first time for all three of them to ride a horse. In Wancheng, Yi Xiaodao had a yamen officer leading the horse. He had never ridden a horse alone before, and he didn't know how to mount a horse for a while. Fang Long had ridden a horse before, and despite his thin arms and legs, he was quite skillful in getting on a horse.
Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er were lifted up by the Yin Meng Guards. Yi Xiaodao saw Xie Weifeng's movements of mounting the horse, silently memorized all the essentials, and jumped up, just like a man struggling for a living on horseback.
Xie Weifeng was surprised when he saw Yi Xiaodao mount the horse. He knew the details of Yi Xiaodao. Not to mention that Yi Xiaodao had never ridden a horse, even if he had, he would not be so familiar with it. Coupled with the mature and sophisticated way Wang Yuanwai handled matters just now, he took another high look at Yi Xiaodao. Little did they know that Yi Xiaodao had secretly learned it by watching his mounting movements. The speed of learning the skill was astonishing.
As a group of people walked on the road, Xie Weifeng approached Yi Xiaodao and said, "If brother Xiaodao becomes famous in the future, I hope he can be promoted as a brother."
Yi Xiaodao was riding a horse for the first time and was enjoying the experience. When he heard Xie Weifeng say this, he replied: "Even if I don't make it to the top, as long as Brother Xie has his life, he will go through fire and water."
"Hey, that's... the fairy sister in front of me! It's the fairy sister!" Yi Xiaodao saw a figure in front of him walking leisurely on the official road. He couldn't help shouting. He picked up the reins and galloped over.
Yi Xiaodao rushed to the man's side, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and took a closer look. It was indeed the Guan Chenzi he met in the mountains last time.
Xie Weifeng watched in amazement from behind, how neatly he dismounted...
Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er were riding on the same horse. When they heard Yi Xiaodao's call, Xiang Lian'er pulled the reins very unskilledly and rushed forward. Fang Long knew that Yi Xiaodao valued the two girls very much, so he quietly Da Ma followed the two girls to prevent accidents.
"Sister Fairy, why are you here?" Yi Xiaodao asked.
Guan Chenzi looked back and saw Yi Xiaodao, and nodded: "What a coincidence, what? Are you caught again this time? Are you really big thieves?"
Yi Xiaodao shook his head: "No, no, it's a long story. It was the emperor who summoned me to Beijing. This eldest brother can testify!"
Xie Weifeng also caught up, dismounted and raised his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you are the Taoist Guanchenzi who saved Xiaodao brothers last time in Wancheng Mountain, right? I'm disrespectful."
Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er couldn't control the horse no matter how hard they ran, and they ran further and further away. Finally, Fang Long caught up and held the reins.
The two simply dismounted and ran over: "Sister Guanchenzi, where are you going? Why are you walking alone on the official road?"
Guan Chenzi greeted everyone one by one and explained: "There are often great epidemics after major disasters, and Wancheng was flooded. Pindao stayed here for several days to prevent the epidemic. When he saw that nothing happened in Wancheng, he left. Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. "
Yi Xiaodao squeezed to the front: "Hey, get out of the way. I saw the fairy sister first! I haven't told you what happened in the meantime!"
Guan Chenzi took out the whisk from behind and held it in his arms: "Isn't it a long story? In that case, let's not talk about it. It's just that you are not bandits, and I didn't save the wrong person."
Yi Xiaodao stretched his head behind him: "Can you show me the box containing the whisk?"
Guan Chenzi subconsciously reached back and took it, and quickly stopped his movements: "Why do I have to show it to you!" As he said this, he swiped the fly whisk back and forth in front of him to calm his mind.
Guan Chenzi found that he had subconsciously followed the young man's words twice, feeling a little angry in his heart and secretly complaining that he was not good at practicing.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it. Don't be so cruel, fairy sister, I feel kind to you when I see you." Yi Xiaodao deflated for a moment, and said with a smile without changing his expression.
Guan Chenzi didn't want to pay attention to Yi Xiaodao, who was smiling playfully. He glanced at everyone and stopped at Fang Long's face. Fang Long knew that his father had beaten him with a bruised nose and face, and he was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to pretend to wipe the sweat and covered his face.
Guan Chenzi smiled and said: "If this little brother has martial arts to accompany him, he can do a lot." After saying that, Guan Chenzi saluted everyone and turned to leave.
"Taoist Master, there are still horses here. We can borrow them from the Taoist Master temporarily to use as leg strength." Xie Weifeng shouted quickly. The Zhenyang Sect was a state religion. When they saw Guan Chenzi walking on foot, Xie Weifeng offered to lend him a horse, but he did his duty.
"Thank you, Master Jun, for your kindness. I'm used to it." Guan Chenzi didn't look back, but replied loudly.
Yi Xiaodao came close to Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er and whispered: "Hey, you said that the fairy sister walks like this every day, how smelly her feet are? Wasn't it very fast last time she flew like that?"
Guan Chenzi's body froze, and he swiped the whisk in front of him again, took a deep breath, and said no more. I saw her jumping up, stepping onto the branches on the roadside, tapping her toes, and swept towards the north.
Xiang Lian'er kicked Yi Xiaodao's butt from behind, and He Yue'er rolled her eyes at Yi Xiaodao: "Your voice was so loud, everyone heard it!"
Yi Xiaodao shrugged his shoulders, looking playful and indifferent. Xiang Lian'er was so angry that she kicked Yi Xiaodao's butt again...
Saying goodbye to Guan Chenzi, the group continued on their way. Along the way, Yi Xiaodao kept asking Xie Weifeng for advice on horseback riding. Soon, when they arrived in the capital, he was extremely skilled in horsemanship. In terms of horsemanship, even military figures would sigh secretly when they saw him. .
Xie Weifeng led a few people to the arranged residence first. It was a house not too far from the palace and not too big. There was a laurel tree in the courtyard, a stone table, and several stone benches. Relatively simple. The three rooms are all bright and have everything they need, including a kitchen, a latrine, and even a firewood shed, with a wall of firewood piled neatly inside.
"What do you think, Brother Yi?" Xie Weifeng asked Xiang Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao's face was full of joy: "Your Majesty... gave this to me?"
Xie Weifeng joked: "Hahahaha, if Brother Yi feels sorry for himself and insists on giving money, I can accept it on your behalf!"
"It's not bad, I'm fine. Brother Xie, you don't know about my situation. Even if all the money from the three of us is given to you, I'm afraid it won't be enough..." Yi Xiaodao laughed playfully, walked to the stone bench and sat down, looking at the house. The more I look at it, the happier I become.
Xiang Lian'er took He Yue'er, and the two of them went to check the room first, threatening to leave the worst room for Yi Xiaodao.
Fang Long stood outside the courtyard, neither leaving nor entering. In the moment of dilemma, Yi Xiaodao waved in the courtyard: "Come in, why are you standing there stupidly? Are you going to stay in an inn? If you have more money, you can give it to me. Don’t waste it!”
Fang Long gritted his teeth and finally stepped into the yard.
"You can stay in that room, the room on the far left." Yi Xiaodao pointed to a room. Fang Long nodded silently and walked over with his bag.
Xie Weifeng was a little puzzled: "Brother Yi, that official just asked us to take his son to Beijing, but you also arranged for him to be brought to your own home. This is a bit..." Xie Weifeng was worried about Yi Xiaodao's face, so the word "inappropriate" finally came to mind. Unspoken.
"Brother Xie, you don't understand. This is what his father really meant. His father thought that I would be able to achieve success by coming to the capital. In fact, I don't even know why His Majesty called me here. How can I lead him to achieve success? I only think about him. Stay here for two days. When you get tired of it, you can go back by yourself. What kind of tour of the capital is it?" Yi Xiaodao put his arm around Xie Weifeng's shoulders and said.
Xie Weifeng recalled that in Wancheng, the common people and Magistrate Pan and Fang Yuanwai were very polite to Yi Xiaodao, and he felt that they were somewhat close to each other. He still needed some prompting to remember, but Yi Xiaodao had already understood everything. The city government is really impressive.
"Thank you, brother, it's getting late. Since His Majesty summoned me, let's go into the palace quickly." Yi Xiaodao stood up and said.
Xie Weifeng quickly kept Yi Xiaodao: "Don't rush, don't rush. His Majesty has said that after calling you to the capital, don't rush into the palace. You can live in this courtyard with peace of mind. This is the five hundred taels rewarded by your Majesty. From now on, every month A monthly salary of fifty taels will be sent to you, and your Majesty will naturally call you if something happens!"
"Ah? What is your majesty going to do when you summon me to the capital and don't arrange anything for me, but also give me a house and money?" No matter how thoughtful and sophisticated Yi Xiaodao was, he was confused.
"Live in peace, don't ask what you think, don't think too much!" Xie Weifeng comforted him, and left the yard with the people.
Yi Xiaodao shook his head, carried the package and entered the room in the center of his body.
That night, Xie Weifeng hurriedly entered the palace, showed his waist badge to the guards, entered the palace and rushed all the way to the imperial study.
Zhao Yizhi was looking at the Daqi territory map with his back to the study door. Xie Weifeng came in quietly, fearing to disturb Zhao Yizhi. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yizhi did not look back, and his spiritual power also sensed that it was Xie Weifeng, and asked aloud: "Did Yi Xiaodao bring it back?"
Xie Weifeng originally wanted to stand aside honestly so as not to surprise the emperor, but the emperor actually seemed to have eyes behind his back and asked aloud as soon as he entered the door. Xie Weifeng quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I brought them back. The two women from last time were also accompanying them. They were the sons of an official named Fang in Wancheng. Nothing happened on the way. They only met a man named Guan Chenzi from Zhenyang Mountain. 'The female Taoist priest. The female Taoist priest knew Yi Xiaodao and others."
"Yeah, I got it. Let's go down." Zhao Yizhi has lived in the palace for a long time and has cultivated some imperial aura. However, his simple words made Xie Weifeng, a warrior on the battlefield, unable to feel any disobedience, so he responded. Withdrew.
"Guan Chenzi...female Taoist priest...haha" Zhao Yizhi laughed to himself.
