Outside the west gate of the capital.
"Yi Xiaodao, I'm leaving. Don't bully Sister Yue'er. If you let me know, I won't be able to spare you!" Yi Xiaoling said while riding on horseback, threatening Yi Xiaodao fiercely.
The words came out immediately, causing everyone to burst into laughter, except for the love.
Yi Xiaodao didn't answer her directly, but said softly: "You have always been Yi Xiaodao, and Yi Xiaodao called me. Although it doesn't matter, but... can you call me big brother?"
Yi Xiaoling jerked the horse's head: "It's so disgusting!" It once again caused a burst of laughter.
Yi Xiaodao didn't say anything, smiled lightly, and turned to Qin Changqian and Bai Xinglong and said, "You two, although my sister and brother-in-law are also skilled in martial arts, please take care of them and make sure they return safely."
Qin Changqian had seven spears stuck on his back, like a peacock with its tail spread out. He also held one spear in his hand. Hearing this, he cupped his fists at Yi Xiaodao and said, "Don't worry, sir, you will fulfill your mission!"
"Why don't you call me Brother Yi? It's kind."
"Brother Yi!" Qin Changqian was also very happy and immediately changed his mind.
Bai Xinglong joked: "Brother Yi, you brought me out of Taiyi, but you haven't promised me anything until now!"
Yi Xiaodao smiled and asked: "Then what do you want?"
"I don't really want anything. If Brother Yi insists on giving me something... talk to His Majesty, then help me make a name for myself, oh no, help Taiyi make a name for himself. It can also comfort the Second Master for many years. long-cherished wish.”
Yi Xiaodao nodded in agreement: "Okay! Taiyi's great disciple Bai Xinglong followed Zhongyi Gong Li Dingxing to pacify Xigui!"
Bai Xinglong grinned, his cold temperament completely gone.
"Brother, time is running out, so let's leave now." Li Dingxing saw that both of them called Yi Xiaodao "eldest brother". With his relationship with Yi Xiaoling, calling him "big brother" was a serious matter.
"Be careful on the road and don't be reckless in anything. I originally wanted to give Wang Xuan to you, but he is busy with affairs in the military camp, so he can't leave. If something cannot be done, don't be reluctant to fight, run away!"
"Understood, the wind is tight~" Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaodao had also wandered in the rivers and lakes for several days, and they were quite familiar with Yi Xiaodao's style.
Seeing that he hadn't forgotten, Yi Xiaodao felt relieved a little: "Let's go, don't delay any more."
The crowd walked slowly and gradually farther away. Yi Xiaodao and others were about to turn around and go back when suddenly a man turned his horse back. When they got closer, they reined in their horses lightly and stopped. Looking at Yi Xiaodao, he looked at He Yue'er beside him: "Brother, you and your sister-in-law are fine..." The person who came was Yi Xiaoling, who had gone and returned.
Yi Xiaodao couldn't hide the smile on his lips and grinned: "Okay! Big brother listens to you!"
Yi Xiaoling then turned his horse forward and chased everyone.
Yi Xiaodao grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, humming a little tune all the way, shaking his head and leading everyone back to the city.
He Yue'er quietly fell behind and grabbed Fu Qing: "Sister Fu, you know a lot. Tell me, are they going...safely?"
Fu Qing was already unhappy because of Yi Xiaoling's relationship. He was suddenly grabbed by someone and was about to have an attack. When he saw it was He Yue'er, he endured it and said, "Don't care about those heartless people. You have to worry about so many things." Well?"
He Yue'er pursed her lips and smiled: "You also said that he is heartless, so shouldn't anyone have to worry about it?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Qing was stunned for a moment and felt slightly ashamed. She has been favored in the Prime Minister's Pavilion since she was a child, and she has lived up to expectations. She is outstanding in both martial arts and talents. But now when I compare with He Yue'er, I realize that I am really far behind He Yue'er.
She was calm and intelligent, regardless of past grudges. Even if she knew that she had some unclear relationship with Yi Xiaodao, she kept it in her heart and never revealed it. It can even be said that the only person who treats me well in Wuding Gong's mansion, besides Yi Xiaodao, is He Yue'er. No, He Yue'er is even better than Yi Xiaodao...
"Then I'll tell the truth. If they go here... I'm afraid it's going to be very bad." Fu Qing said seriously.
"Qin Changqian and Bai Xinglong..." He Yue'er didn't know about others, but she had seen Qin Changqian and Bai Xinglong's martial arts, and they were already excellent and rare masters.
"No one can predict how things will develop. I only know that according to the news coming back from the pavilion, there are many masters like the two of them in Xigui..." Fu Qing said with a frown.
He Yue'er was silent after hearing the words. Her words of love were reliable and she had no reason to lie to her.
"Sister Yue'er, don't get involved in this matter. I know a little bit about the world, but you don't know anything. If you don't try to persuade him kindly, he will think you are a womanizer and think you are nosy! "Fu Qing has been traveling around the world for a long time, and this kind of thing happens all the time.
He Yue'er smiled slightly, did not refute, and nodded to express her gratitude. She didn't understand Jianghu's truth, but Yi Xiaodao never hid anything from her, and the two of them discussed it from time to time. For example, it was her idea to send Qin Changqian and Bai Xinglong to help Li Dingxing.
There was no words all the way, and everyone returned to Wuding Gongfu with their own thoughts.
…
Outside the palace gate, a man and a woman were standing outside the palace gate holding swords. The imperial guards saw this and quickly reported it to the palace. The little eunuch who reported the news only wished he had lost two legs, and stumbled all the way to the back garden.
In the back garden of the palace, there are countless exotic flowers and plants everywhere. It also has rockeries, large lakes, and custom buildings from various places, including those from Nanhuai, Sichuan, and Chuxiang, which are dazzling to see. Although the scenery is beautiful, Zhao Yizhi only comes here occasionally and doesn't have much free time.
I just had some free time today. Not long after I arrived in the back garden, the little eunuch who reported the news stumbled over: "Your Majesty, in accordance with your will, the two Taoist priests are here!"
It turned out that Zhao Yizhi had already issued an order in the palace. As long as the two Taoist priests from Zhenyang Mountain asked for an audience, they must report it as soon as possible without delay. This edict was naturally sent to Guan Chenzi, and he was just afraid that someone would see the clues and take Tongweizi along with him.
The emperor often cannot help himself.
"Reward, ten taels."
It's just a job of reporting information, not a great achievement. Zhao Yizhi is now preparing to fight in Northern Xinjiang, and he is better able to live a better life. Although it was only twelve taels, the little eunuch was overjoyed. This was equivalent to half a year's worth of enga silver.
Soon, Guan Chenzi and Tong Weizi were led into the back garden by the little eunuch.
Zhao Yizhi sat in front of a loft: "Two Taoist priests, what are you doing here?"
Guan Chenzi was about to speak in a hurry, but was stopped by Tong Weizi, who said first, "I heard that the Xigui invaders were causing trouble and sent troops to attack Sichuan and Shu..."
"Yes, are the two Taoist priests also interested in government affairs?" Zhao Yizhi resisted looking at Guan Chenzi, not wanting to embarrass her in front of Tong Weizi.
Tong Weizi said: "Your Majesty is laughing at you. My brothers and I are devoted to cultivating Taoism, so how can we be interested in the affairs of the court? But... when the war breaks out and the people meet and live in dire straits, my two brothers and sisters cannot bear to sit back and watch, especially Come and ask for your Majesty’s permission to allow us to go to Sichuan and Sichuan to rescue the people, which can be regarded as a contribution to the court..."
While several people were talking, a ripple appeared in the lake water. It turned out that two koi carps were competing for food and were incompatible with each other. Finally, one of them won the fight and swallowed the fish food in one mouthful. The other one turned around and dived into the bottom of the lake, unknown to where it went.
Zhao Yizhi said slowly: "I admire the two Taoist priests for their desire to help the common people, but... I can't let you go."
"Why?" Guan Chenzi couldn't help it and asked.
"Zhenzhen Zhang asked you to stay in the capital in the past to train you so that you can teach Zhenyang Mountain in the future. During the Battle of Chuxiang, you two privately let Fang Qianlong go and went to Chuxiang with him... Fortunately You are safe and sound, otherwise I would really be ashamed of Master Zhang. You can go now, but only one person can go."
Guan Chenzi couldn't help it anymore: "My senior fellow apprentices and brothers have always been together..."
"Did we travel together for three years?" Zhao Yizhi interrupted Guan Chenzi: "I have no selfish motives, I just don't want anything to happen to you. At least... we can't have anything happen together."
Zhao Yizhi said this to Guan Chenzi.
"Okay! I'll go then. Stay in the capital with Wei Zi." Guan Chenzi agreed.
"How can that be done? I will stay in the capital and let you go to Kun Dao... Master will scold me to death if he finds out!" Tong Weizi objected quickly.
Guan Chenzi knew that Tong Weizi was also doing it for his own good, but he had never been involved in matters involving men and women, and he didn't know Zhao Yizhi's feelings for him. As for Zhao Yizhi's so-called keeping one person, he was probably just hoping that he could stay, and he absolutely disagreed!
"Tong Weizi, you and I are equally skilled in martial arts, so I don't worry about that. It's just that you and I have different ideas. I'm afraid that when we get to Sichuan and Shu, you won't be able to empathize with the displaced people. And you are a road, compared to me as a palm. If you teach me, you will have less resistance!" Guan Chenzi analyzed it carefully and found that every sentence was the truth.
Tong Weizi slowly lowered his head: "But Master values you more..."
"Then you have to stay, so that Master can admire you, right?" Guan Chenzi gave a rare sweet smile.
Although Zhao Yizhi did not turn his head, his consciousness had already conveyed this smile into his mind. From then on, it was difficult to eliminate it...
"Your Majesty..." Tong Weizi wanted to plead with Zhao Yizhi again, but Zhao Yizhi half-closed his eyes and pretended not to listen.
Guan Chenzi took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"
Zhao Yizhi turned around and looked at the two of them: "I am not unkind, but Xigui has never been well-known to the world, and his skills are secretive. If you go together, I am afraid that something will happen to you, so leaving one person in Beijing is a helpless move. ."
The two thanked Zhao Yizhi and turned to leave.
Tong Weizi walked behind Guanchenzi and said: "Master once told me when I was a child, you are the Kun Dao and I am the Qian Dao. Let me give you more permission in everything. I will let you do it again, but there will be no next time. …”
Guan Chenzi suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "I know, thank you, senior brother. Is that okay now?"
Tong Weizi was a little surprised when he heard Guan Chenzi suddenly calling him senior brother. The two of them had joined Zhang Zongbai's sect together when they were young. Over the years, they had fought countless times for the title of senior brother. Unexpectedly, Guan Chenzi would now take the initiative to call him senior brother. My senior brother!
Tong Weizi opened his mouth and laughed stupidly: "Okay! Okay!"
Before leaving the palace gate, Guan Chenzi called a young eunuch and handed him a piece of paper folded several times: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please submit it to your majesty." After saying that, he dug in his pocket. But only two small pieces of silver were found.
"Taoist Priest, you don't have to be polite! Let's go now, let's go!" Tong Weizi is a little stupid about the matter of men and women, but these little eunuchs are all human beings, and they have long seen that His Majesty is interested in this female Taoist Priest. , but no one dared to point it out. How dare you accept money from this female Taoist priest? He is almost tired of life. There was no news about the money-grubbing little Dezi a few days ago. No one knows where he went.
Guan Chenzi put the broken silver back into his pocket. Monks don't like money, but it's not enough to have none.
Not long after the two left the palace, Zhao Yizhi sat by the lake and slowly unfolded the note sent by Guanchen Ziyang: "When you return, enjoy the white moon."
Zhao Yizhi saw the meaning at a glance and said with a slight smile: "The monk's answer is so implicit."
The secret skill of Zhenyang Mountain is to control the shadow. When the moon is at its peak, the beauty is unparalleled...
