Chapter 60: A Coincidental Encounter with Shu and Victory

Li Jingxian's search for the giant mountain Tan was fruitless, but he met Mu Yaqin's master and servant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info learned that Jushan Tan had all been bought by Yakushizhuang at a high price, and the three of them went to Yakushizhuang together. The gatekeeper stopped the three of them and asked for fifty ingots of gold.

Li Jingxian listened, scratched his head and said: "How is this good?Fifty ingots of gold ......" Ah Qiu saw that his face was embarrassed, and hurriedly patted him and said: "Jingxian, don't worry, my master has this money...... " said, looking at Mu Yaqin, with a pleading look in his eyes, "Yes, master......" Mu Yaqin hesitated for a moment and nodded yes. But in his heart, he kept beating the drum and said: "Fifty ingots of gold, this owner is really a lion! How to get so much money, it really takes a lot of thought......

Li Jingxian immediately bowed deeply and said, "Miss Mu, this matter is entrusted to you...... Then let's go back to the inn now and get the silver!" Mu Yaqin hurriedly stopped and said, "Wait! I don't have so much silver taels on me now." Why don't you go back for the time being, wait for me to find some way, how about we meet here again tomorrow?" Li Jingxian was anxious in his heart, where could he wait until tomorrow, and secretly thought in his heart: "I can't wait to rush in at this moment!" It seems that Miss Mu must be shy in her pocket, but it is inconvenient to ......speak" Thinking in her heart, she said in her mouth: "Okay, since that's the case, only please girl!" said, looked at Ah Qiu and said, "You go and think of a way first, and then I will go to the giant mountain to try my luck......"

"Jingxian, I'll accompany you!" Ah Qiu said, stepping forward to pull him. Li Jingxian let go of his hand and said, "Ah Qiu, you go with Miss Mu to find a way to make up the money!" Mu Yaqin nodded and said, "It's okay, let's act separately." Ah Qiu, you go back to the inn and see how many entanglements we still have. I'll think of other ways to find out. Ah Qiu listened, "oh" and left with Mu Yaqin, feeling reluctant.

Li Jingxian didn't want to go up the giant mountain again at all, and he also understood that he was not a lucky person. Since you can't enter through the main entrance, you can sneak in. "Come to think of it, this Medicine Master Village will not have such a master as the Kuzen Temple!" Seeing Mu Yaqin's master and servant walk away, Li Jingxian secretly went around to the southwest corner of Medicine Master Village. The outer perimeter wall is airtight and more than a person high. Li Jingxian leaned over to the fence and listened carefully to the argument, which seemed to have a family patrolling the courtyard. "How many families does Yaoshizhuang raise?" Li Jingxian listened carefully as he thought. In just half an hour, at least three patrolling groups of family members were heard passing by.

Such a large estate must have a relatively strict patrol system, and as long as it is, there will always be a gap to use. "It seems that this is the opportunity!" Li Jingxian thought, choosing the right time to jump lightly, grabbed the wall with both hands, and slowly stretched his head over. I saw that this was a garden within a garden, and there was a lush bush at the foot, high and low. The fragrance is peculiar, sometimes quiet, sometimes hard, and it must be the herbs planted by the owner at will. Not far in front is a rockery, on which there are four huge red characters "good as water" which is very eye-catching. The rockery is surrounded by a pond of lotus ponds, and the winding road and bridge on the water surface are obviously for people to walk and play. The road and bridge lead directly to a pavilion not far away, the stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion are neatly placed, and a woman is leisurely playing the piano and playing a song "Yangguan Song", the tune is extremely sad. "What a 'good as water'!" Li Jingxian naturally didn't understand any music, but just glanced at the rockery with disdain, slowly bent over among the bushes, and walked along the wall, wanting to get a thorough understanding of the entire manor.

Fortunately, the bushes are high and low, lush and tight, and no family notices them along the way. When I walked near the south gate, I found that a huge Buddha statue was facing the south gate. This golden Buddha statue is made of the finest boxwood wood and is maintained daily, looking as bright as new and revealing an antique feel. In front of the Buddha statue, incense and offerings are placed, and the owner of the village will prostrate and worship here every day. There were as many as nine kinds of tributes on the table, all of which were delicious snacks and fresh fruits, which caused Li Jingxian to feel hungry in his stomach.

"Yaoshizhuang is so big, if you don't fill your stomach, where will you have the strength to find herbs?" Thinking of this, Li Jingxian smiled secretly, and while the patrolling family was unprepared, he rushed forward with an arrow, took some of each tribute, and returned to the bushes to eat secretly. "The dark aroma of herbs is mixed with the aroma of these snacks, and it still has a unique flavor. ”

Just as he was eating well, a five-person patrol team walked over. Li Jingxian couldn't help but look at them with some nervousness in his heart, for fear that something would go wrong. I saw one of them take a look at the tribute, and then stopped, and said, "Hey, why is this tribute missing?" The others heard this, and gathered around and said, "Indeed, apples and peaches...... And those preserves, a lot less!"

"Strange! Who is so bold as to dare to take the tribute of the Medicine Master Bodhisattva?" The five of them looked around, but they couldn't see the other half of the figures. One of them said, "Brothers, is it the Medicine Bodhisattva who has appeared?" and the others nodded yes. A man who looked like a captain surrounded the other four and said, "The owner asked, if we say that the Medicine Master Bodhisattva has appeared, do you think he will believe it?" The captain drew them closer, muttered a few words, and then turned away.

Li Jingxian was secretly relieved, didn't dare to delay any longer, threw down the food in his hand, and continued to touch along the bushes. About an hour later, Li Jingxian finally returned to the place he had just turned in, and the woman was still playing the piano, but this time it was replaced by "Bamboo Branch Words". "It's really inconvenient to start now. At night, go directly to the pharmacy and steal the giant sandalwood out!" Thinking in his heart, Li Jingxian lowered his body and hid in the bushes and waited for the sky to get dark.

Long Yan had entered the county seat at this moment, and wanted to send her and Han Xiaoyue's wedding card to Mu Yaqin's master and servant and Cheng Song. According to the previous route, with the impression all the way to the entrance of the Temple Street Inn. "Temple Street Inn...... This is it. Long Yan said that she was just about to step in, when she heard a sudden crisp sound of gongs in the distance. "Let one go! Let one let go! The triumphant division passed through this county, and the villagers gave the official a let!" There was a commotion, and the other end of the street seemed to be dusty, and many people slowly gathered.

"Look! The army of Shu has returned in triumph!"

"Let's go!"

While the people were talking, they gathered around. "The army of Shu is ...... Could it be Zhao Zhun and them?" Long Yan thought as she leaned into the crowd. I saw Zhao Zhun wearing heavy armor and riding on a tall horse, walking at the front of the team. Beside him was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in court clothes, with thin eyebrows and a slightly thin figure. Cui Fuhai, the magistrate, rode a relatively thin horse and followed the two, smiling all over his face. To the right and left of the three were thirty heavily armed cavalrymen, armed with sharp spears and thick shields, and they were imposing. Behind it is a large sedan chair carried by eight people, which is luxuriously decorated, and can fit more than five or six people. The sedan chair was followed by Zhang Qi, Zhang Shouyi and other military generals, holding their heads up and their chests, and their majesty was incredible. The military generals were followed by hundreds of cronies and military academies, and tens of thousands of troops were still stationed outside the city. To Long Yan's surprise, Situ Sheng and the others did not appear in the team, it seemed that there was some disagreement between them.

Everyone stopped in front of the county magistrate's mansion, and Cui Zhixian got off his horse first and saluted: "Zhao Shuai, His Royal Highness King Zhou." This is the minister's mansion, if you don't dislike it, please rest in the minister's house!" Zhao Zhun listened, nodded, looked at King Zhou and said: "Your Highness, I don't know what you think?" King Zhou raised his eyebrows and said: "The handsome man has made a meritorious contribution to Shu, and my father will issue an edict in the near future to promote you to be the capital of our dynasty." I'm about to become Lord Zaiji, so you can invite me to live in this small house, it's too stingy!"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Zhixian was blushing and didn't know how to respond. Zhao Zhun was very unhappy in his heart, and secretly shouted in his heart: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu to conquer the world, where would you be allowed to pick and choose?" But his face did not bring it out, but he smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, the last general is not thoughtful." ”

King Zhou lowered his body, stretched out his hand to summon Cui Zhixian to the placket, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Cui, is there anything worth visiting in Guibao Land...... Restaurant?" Cui Zhixian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "Please make it clear to Your Highness, what kind of restaurant is it?" King Zhou sneered and said: "Lord Zhixian should not pretend to be confused...... It's the place of Fengyue!" As he spoke, King Zhou smiled with a distorted face.

"Returning to His Royal Highness King Zhou, the people of this county believe in Buddhism, and there are indeed many Fengyue places before. In recent years, due to the continuous demands of the people for abolition, most of the Fengyue places have been ......abolished" King Zhou listened, his face changed and said: "What, aren't there one or two left?" Cui Zhixian was speechless, trembling with fright, for fear of angering him. A man who looked like a master behind him stepped forward and whispered to Cui Zhixian. Cui Zhixian couldn't help nodding after hearing this, and turned to bow to the ground and said: "Back to His Royal Highness King Zhou, there is indeed a 'pavilion' in this county called 'Wangchuan Tower', which is not far from here. If Your Highness has this Yaxing, why don't you lead the way to lead you there?"

King Zhou laughed and said, "Okay, let's take care of Master Cui to lead the way!" he said, turned to look at Zhao Zhundao, "Dashuai, my father has given you a marriage to marry my sister, and I will be a concubine in the future." This...... Don't come with me!" Zhao Zhun arched his hand and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me, even if you play well, all the expenses will be recorded on the head of the general!" Cui Zhixian hurriedly waved his hand: "Where is it...... The marshal has made meritorious contributions to the country, how can he ask you for silver......" he said, and instructed the servants around him, "You go over and say hello to the proprietress first, and let them prepare, there are distinguished guests!" The servant replied "yes", and King Zhou and the others walked noisily into the distance.

Zhao Zhun saw them walking away, turned over and dismounted and said: "Come on, give the handsome horse a good life and support, there must be no mistake!" The master replied yes and ordered the servant to take the horse away. Zhao Zhun then walked to the big sedan chair and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, please!" With the word "please", a woman walked out of the sedan chair, it was Zhao Mo, the princess of the Song Kingdom. I saw her face sink like water and step out of the sedan chair and walk straight to the house. Zhao Zhun followed behind him and ordered the pro-soldier military academy to disperse the people, leaving only a dozen guards at the gate of the mansion, and the rest of the military academies also dispersed.

Long Yan saw it clearly, and secretly thought to herself: "The Shu Kingdom was destroyed by his hands in a few months, and Brother Xiaoyue must not be allowed to hear the slightest rumor, otherwise it will lead him to increase his sadness." Thinking of this, he turned around and was about to leave. "No, Zhao Mo is also kind to me, and he used to have a deep affection for Brother Xiaoyue. Now that Brother Xiaoyue is dying soon, if I don't let them see him, I'll be too stingy. Thinking of this, Long Yan turned around and walked towards Cui's Mansion again.

The military academy guarding the door stopped her and interrogated: "Stop! Who are you?" Long Yan bowed deeply and said: "Please go in and report, Her Royal Highness the princess's old acquaintance and friend ask to see her!" The military academy nodded, seeing that she didn't look like a villain, he said "wait here" and went in to report. At this moment, Zhao Zhun and Zhao Mo were both in the room. Brigadier General Zhao took off his battle armor and changed into civilian clothes, and said as he changed: "This King of Zhou, it is simply unreasonable! If you want to say that Your Majesty wants to cultivate the prince, you don't have to share my credit!" Zhao Mo instructed his subordinates to bring a basin of hot water, ready to wash away the dust of the day's road, and when he saw him so complaining, he persuaded: "My brother is like this, except for the ladies in the palace, the women outside the palace are to see one and love the other." You're about to be promoted, and you're about to become a colt, so you can endure some things!"

Zhao Zhun sighed and said, "When you let Han Xiaoyue and them go, I was furious with you, don't you blame me?" Zhao Mo shook his head and smiled: "How could it be? On the contrary, you won't blame me for the words that I said to you in a hurry, right?" Zhao Zhun hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you are the same age as Han Xiaoyue, and he has a handsome face, so it is reasonable that you will fall in love with him at first sight." It's not like me, a rough man, a dozen years older than you. It's a pity that he wasn't born in my Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, I might have become a good thing for the two of you!"

Zhao Mo waved his hand: "Forget it, this is all in the past." Marry your husband, and since I choose to marry you, I will be faithful to you. Zhao Zhun listened, stepped forward and hugged her in his arms and said, "Mo, don't worry, I allow you to live with him in your heart." I will prove with practical actions that you will not regret marrying me. ”

"There is a girl outside the gate of the mansion, claiming to be an old acquaintance of Her Royal Highness the princess and asking to see her!" At this moment, a military academy ran into the door. Zhao Zhun listened and said: "How can there be a friend of His Royal Highness in a small county town? It must be a little gangster of unknown origin! Tell someone to send him away!" The military academy was just about to leave, Zhao Mo stopped her and said: "Wait, wait for me to go out and take a look!"

"Your Highness, beware of the remnants of the Shu Kingdom who want to plot against her...... Zhao Zhun reminded her, after all, Zhao Mo had been taken hostage several times before, and Zhao Zhun was extremely relieved. Zhao Mo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are more than a dozen cronies outside the door, and they will protect me." Zhao Zhun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out with you to have a look!" As he spoke, he picked up his short sword and walked out the door.
