Wei Yixiao took out another portrait, which was of a mature man, bald, skinny, with sunken temples, and said: "This man often appears with Yu Wence. He may be the bald man who assassinated Zhuang Zhong. As for the masked monk they said, there is no such thing." It’s too specific a characteristic, so there’s no trace of it yet.”
Xie Xun and Dai Qisi returned to the inn, and everyone else dispersed to guard around the palace, waiting for Yu Wence to be alone when he left the palace, so that they could capture him.
Dai Qisi asked Xie Xun: "Brother, these people were able to kill Zhuang Zhong despite being heavily surrounded by the Western Regions, and they were able to escape back to the Central Plains. Their martial arts skills must not be underestimated."
Xie Xun sighed and said, "It's also my fault that I didn't leave too many masters in the Western Regions. I thought that no one would dare to assassinate Zhuang Zheng as long as I was here. Moreover, the Western Regions have been cleansed by us and are guarded by well-trained elite soldiers like Wu Xing Banner. Foolproof. Alas!"
Dai Qisi said: "How could someone go to Guangmingding from the secret passage? If it weren't for the secret passage, Zhuang Zhong would not have been assassinated so easily."
When Dai Qisi said this, Xie Xun felt even more guilty and wanted to tell her about Cheng Kun, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He has never talked about his inheritance with Dai Qisi. It is not that he doubts Dai Qisi, but he does not want to talk about the scandal of Leader Yang. Besides, at this time, it is useless to talk about it.
There was no news from Yu Wence for several days, but Xie Xun was not in a hurry. This person did not hide his head even during the assassination of Zhuang Zheng, which shows that he is extremely conceited, and if Wei Yixiao can find him, he will definitely show up again.
Before there was any news about Yu Wence, the waiter suddenly came to visit and said that a senior monk wanted to see Xie Xun.
Xie Xun was stunned. He didn't know anyone in Dadu, let alone a monk. He asked the waiter: "Are you sure you want to see me?"
The waiter replied respectfully: "Exactly, this eminent monk said he wanted to see the donor to thank him."
Xie Xun was even more stunned. He didn't tell the waiter that his last name was "Xie". It seemed that he had found the wrong person, so he said, "Then bring him in."
Xie Xunyi is a master and bold, fearless of anyone. Hearing the footsteps, it was a man with high martial arts skills: "Is it Mananda?"
The door opened, revealing a dignified face, a white monk's robe, spotless, a scar on his head, and his hands clasped together.
Xie Xun was shocked and blurted out: "Master!"
It turned out to be Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, the master he had not seen for many years.
Cheng Kun smiled slightly and said, "Xun'er, long time no see!"
Dai Qisi was also surprised. She had never heard that Xie Xun had a master, and he was a monk.
Cheng Kun didn't know that his kidnapping of Xie Xun's wife and children had been exposed, but he looked at Xie Xun kindly and said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's really gratifying that Xun'er has achieved what he has achieved today."
Xie Xun's mind was spinning rapidly, guessing that the purpose of Cheng Kun's sudden appearance was definitely not a good thing.
Xie Xun asked: "How does Master know I am here?"
Cheng Kun smiled and pointed at Xie Xun's hair.
Xie Xun smiled, pointed at Cheng Kun's bald head, and asked, "Master, what are you..."
Cheng Kun sighed and said, "It's hard to explain in words! I'll talk to you in detail later when I have time. I came to you this time for other reasons."
Xie Xun asked: "What's the matter?"
Cheng Kun said: "I want to introduce someone to you."
Xie Xun asked: "Who is it?"
Cheng Kun said: "You will know when you go."
Xie Xun didn't hesitate. He also wanted to see what medicine Chengkun was selling in his gourd, so he replied, "Okay. Shall we leave now?"
Cheng Kun said: "Let's go now."
Xie Xun turned to Dai Qisi and said, "This is my master."
No names were mentioned.
Dai Qisi greeted: "Master!"
Xie Xun said to Cheng Kun again: "This is my wife..."
Cheng Kun said: "The Purple Shirt Dragon King is well-deserved!"
Dai Qisi saluted Cheng Kun.
Xie Xun held Dai Qisi's hand and said, "You stay and wait for news from them. Master and I will go out."
As he spoke, he squeezed hard with his hands, turned his back to Cheng Kun, and made a "round and true" mouth shape to Dai Qisi.
Dai Qisi was shocked. The name "Yuanzhen" was not unfamiliar to her. She was the planner and executor of the kidnapping of Lu Zhiqing and Xie Wuji. She had also fought against Yuanzhen.
How could Xie Xun make this mouth shape at this time? Could it be that his master is this Yuan Zhen? She really couldn't figure out the key here, but Xie Xun's series of actions showed his distrust and defensiveness towards this master.
Xie Xun's tall figure blocked her shocked expression, and patted her shoulder again to signal her to calm down. He glanced at Cheng Kun with a cold expression, then turned around and left with Cheng Kun.
Dai Qisi was in chaos. It would be okay if Xie Xun didn't say that this person was his master, but just treated him like an ordinary person. Even if he said that this person was the Mongolian emperor, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this person happened to be the master he had never mentioned before, and judging from his various behaviors, there must be something wrong with it.
Dai Qisi decided that no matter what happened, it must be treated as if Xie Xun was in danger.
Xie Xun followed Cheng Kun around on the street, came to the back door of a big house, and walked in.
The people in the house are all dressed as Mongolians, and there are Mongolian soldiers.
Xie Xun had a clear understanding in his heart, but he didn't say anything out loud.
Cheng Kun looked at Xie Xun and said nothing, and when he saw that the Mongolians didn't move, he was filled with emotion. Xie Xun has shown a distinctive deepness since he was a child. Now with the improvement of his status, his mood has become more stable. As the Mongols' number one enemy, he is still surrounded by the Mongols, but his expression remains unchanged.
Cheng Kun led Xie Xun outside a hall, where a group of Mongolian generals were discussing matters.
The leader is a man in his twenties, tall and burly, with a dignified appearance. His eyebrows are slender, extending beyond his eyes. There are three vellus hairs on his left cheek, which stand up whenever he is angry.
He was complaining: "Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Fujian, Henan and other places are full of rebellions. Prime Minister Boyan still bullies the Han people blindly. How many people do we have in Mongolia? How can we quell the chaos?"
The Mongolian generals under him did not take it seriously. One of them said: "Your Majesty, we Mongolia can conquer such a large area and have many heroes. The Han people are weak, so why don't we wipe them all out? The same goes for the Han people in the south. With Your Majesty here, If we lead us to destroy them, won't the world be at peace? The despicable Han people are only worthy of being the slaves of our Mongols. If they dare to rebel, we will kill them all."
This prince has studied Confucianism since he was a child, participated in the imperial examination, and has the ambition to help the current situation. He really can't make sense with these rough and uncivilized people.
He said: "Don't we need to kill people to quell the chaos in Mongolia? Do you know how many more Han people there are than us? How can we kill so many people? Now the Ming Cult is taking advantage of the situation, and the leader is even more powerful in martial arts and very powerful. Vision. A few years ago, I suggested that the emperor place the dragon-slaying knife on the territory of the Mingjiao and lead their martial arts members to kill each other. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Mingjiao actually refused to let the Mingjiao participate in the robbery. In the end, he made a decision on the Huashan Sword Discussion The Dragon-Slaying Sword belonged to him, allowing him to successfully take the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and Master Mananda returned in vain despite all his attempts."
Speaking of Xie Xun, it was indeed discouraging. They had all seen Mananda's martial arts. Removing the head of an admiral from a million soldiers was like picking out a treasure from a bag. This Xie Xun was actually more powerful than him. He once wanted to kidnap his wife and children, but he didn't expect that his wife was also incredibly skilled in martial arts.
These Mongolian generals were speechless. They surrounded Mount Huashan, followed by so many martial arts masters, and lost so many people. The Mongols were barbaric and admired force, and they still admired Xie Xun's martial arts. But it’s also even more depressing. Why are there no heroes like this among the Mongols?
Xie Xun had long suspected that the appearance of the Dragon Sword was a conspiracy by the imperial court, and then he realized that it was actually this person's suggestion. A few years ago, he was even younger and had such a strategy. He was indeed a powerful enemy.
This man saw Cheng Kun leading Xie Xun outside the door, waved his hand to these Mongolian generals, and said, "Go back."
The Mongolian generals were ordered to leave.
He sighed, stood up, and looked at Cheng Kun and Xie Xun.
Cheng Kun took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"
He turned back to Xie Xun and said, "This is King Ruyang of the Great Yuan Dynasty."
King Ruyang took a step forward and said, "Thank you, Master, I am Chahan Timur."
Xie Xun ignored him and said to Cheng Kun, "Master, what did you mean by bringing me here?"
Cheng Kun said: "The prince appreciates your talents very much. As long as you are willing to take refuge in the prince, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Xie Xun said in a deep voice: "Master, do you think I will agree?"
Cheng Kun's tone was no longer kind, and he said: "Xun'er, the prince is so talented and powerful, and all the rebels are worth mentioning. Why not join the prince early to avoid becoming a prisoner in the future."
Xie Xun's eyes turned cold when he looked at Cheng Kun and said, "You know I won't agree, so you still lured me here, maybe not to persuade me to surrender."
Chahan said: "Xie Cult Master, it is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, you will be a high official and a generous salary."
Xie Xun glanced at him sideways and said, "If I kill you all, I can become the emperor. What are you trying to tempt me with?"
Chahan was speechless for a moment. Xie Xun's power was no worse than that of the imperial court. It was impossible to kill all the Mongols, but it was still possible to drive them away. He really had a chance to become the master of this land. It was really not enough to attract him with high-ranking officials and generous salaries. .
Xie Xun ignored him and continued to look at Cheng Kun.
Cheng Kun said: "Although your Ming Cult now occupies half of the country, do you know how big the Mongolian Empire is? It is so vast and unparalleled in ancient times and today, can you defeat the Mongols with just your small Ming Cult?"
Xie Xun said: "I definitely know more about Mongolia than you do. We don't need to dwell on this issue anymore. I just want to ask: Master, do you want to sever ties with me by luring me here?"
