Chapter 170: Little Senior Brother Minghao

Lying on the bed, covering his eyes with one hand, Zhou Budo breathed like nothing, in this room, he didn't know what he was thinking about at this time.

"Your Royal Highness, it's already two o'clock, and you're ready to go."

Outside the door, the voice of Lao Zhang, the porter, was afraid that his son would fall asleep, so he knocked on the door with his fingers.

"Got it, I'll get up."

Zhou Budo slowly got up, moved his body, and stretched his waist, it was precisely because he was lazy that he didn't change his clothes when he returned to the house just now, and he was wearing such a black embroidered python suit.

After a little sleep, Zhou Budo's spirit has recovered a lot, and after getting out of bed, he first walked to the sink and slapped his face twice with water, stood in front of the mirror, took a deep breath, Zhou Budo's eyes were a little uncomfortable looking at himself in the mirror at this time.

I don't know if good luck will favor a few of us when we go to the front line.

Pushing open the door, Zhou Budo had already straightened his hair, put on a crown, and hung around his waist, that is, the rusty iron sword that Emperor Lidi handed over to him.

As for the short sword that Qing Tan made for himself, Zhou Budo learned a hand from Kumu, and carefully hid the short sword in his sleeve, with a specially commissioned fur scabbard, pinned to the gap in the cuffs, which can be regarded as convenient for Zhou Budo to deal with some unexpected situations.

Refreshed, a little heroic Zhou Budo came to the gate of the palace at this time, and when he walked to the carriage, Zhou Budo settled down and turned his head to look back at the gate of the palace.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but the two halberds set up at the gate of the palace were exchanged for my father's military exploits.

Raising his hand and waving to the maids standing at the gate of the palace, Zhou Budo then turned over and got into the carriage and sat cross-legged next to Lao Zhang, this time he did not enter the carriage.

"Just go directly, just let me take a few looks, the appearance of Jinling downtown."

Hearing Zhou Budo say this, Lao Zhang was also relieved, and drove the carriage with peace of mind.

The son of his own family, after coming back from Dongxun this time, it seems that he has some of the posture of the prince when he was young.

If he saw His Royal Highness the Prince like this now, he would definitely be a lot happier.

On the carriage, Zhou Budo leaned on the carriage with one leg crossed, his eyes looking at the passers-by with some indescribable meaning.

Along the way, passers-by also noticed that there was a young child sitting outside the carriage of Zhou Wangfu today.

"This is His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhou."

"It's a little delicate."

"Silence, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, if he discusses His Royal Highness the Prince like this, if the spies of Jinyiwei hear it, he will be sent to the edict to drink tea."

"Probably not."

Listening to the voices of passers-by, Zhou Budo's face was a little bitter.

I don't know if I can get down from the battlefield this time, and this time I can be regarded as secretly going to the front line without telling my father.

Regarding Zhou Budo's going to the front line, Zhou Dunyi didn't know about it until now, and when Zhou Budo told Lao Zhang and his subordinates in the palace about it, Lao Zhang was the first to jump out and oppose it, and that posture was like saying that he would not agree to let Zhou Budo go to the front line.

Until Zhou Budo told a lie, saying that his father agreed to this matter, and then found Qi Wuxian to help him fulfill the lie, and finally reluctantly fooled Lao Zhang and them.

Although Lao Zhang was careful, on the day Zhou Budo said this, he sent the subordinates of the palace to Shangzhou to find Zhou Dunyi.

However, the journey from Jinling to Shangzhou, even if it is a fast horse, it will take almost seven or eight days to go back and forth, not to mention that Zhou Dunyi himself is no longer in Shangzhou, and the time it will take will only be longer.

But Zhou Budo and the day of their group's departure is approaching, and Lao Zhang can only agree, anyway, in his opinion, with a character like Kumu by his side, there should be nothing wrong with the left and right.

Lao Zhang drove the carriage to the north gate of Jinling City, then stopped his horse, waiting for the inspection of the guards at the north gate.

Coincidentally, the chief on duty at the North Gate today was the one that Zhou Budo and his party had just met on the day they returned to Jinling from Dongxun.

After clearly seeing Zhou Budo's immature face, the chief hurriedly beckoned the soldiers beside him to pull the fence open, and then trotted all the way to Zhou Budo, and said with a flattering smile

"Your Royal Highness, do you still recognize the little one?"

Zhou Budo was still looking at the people walking by beside him at first, and he didn't notice this chief, and it wasn't until after this chief said that Zhou Budo lowered his head and saw this chief and recognized it.

He frowned and said softly

"What's wrong? Do you need to get off the horse and be interrogated? ”

Shi Chang hurriedly waved his hand and said

"How dare you, Your Royal Highness the Prince of the World, the little one looks like you are going out of the city, no, I have already asked the little ones under you to remove the fence."

"Check any carriage and salute goods in and out of Jinling, this is something that Kyoto Yin needs to check every day, in front of the legal system, this prince must obey, Lao Zhang, get off the horse, let this lord check the carriage before going out of the city."

Zhou Budo jumped out of the carriage after speaking, and Lao Zhang jumped down with his son without hesitation and stood aside.

"Your Highness, you."

"Hurry up and investigate, if there is no problem, then let this son out of the city."

Shi Chang heard Zhou Budo say this, and finally he could only get into the carriage hard, carefully opened the curtain, went to the carriage and took a casual look before jumping out of the carriage, and then stood in front of Zhou Budo, nodded and said respectfully

"No problem, no problem, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, let's get out of the city."

Zhou Budo nodded slightly, and then beckoned Lao Zhang to get back into the carriage, and after sitting down, Lao Zhang drove the carriage out of the city.

Seeing Zhou Budo's carriage out of the city, this chief also sweated for himself.

How do you feel as if you have been hated by His Royal Highness the Prince, it shouldn't be, His Royal Highness the Prince shouldn't remember what happened to me that day.

No, no, what if it is recorded by His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that I still have to find some days to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to come back and make amends to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I must not let His Royal Highness the Prince hold a grudge against me.

Although this chief thought so in his heart, he didn't know that Zhou Budo didn't recognize him at all just now.

Zhou Budo only felt that it was this long man who came to him for a routine check.

It's just that I've been thinking too much about it.

After leaving Jinling City, Lao Zhang drove the carriage like a gallop, spreading the horse's hooves and rushing in one direction.

Zhou Budo also bent over into the carriage this time and sat down, he didn't have much to look at outside the city.

At this time, on the north gate of Jinling City, Father-in-law and several brocade guards behind him were looking at the back of the carriage.

"I hope it's all right."

Father-in-law said to himself

"I don't know if the secret edict passed on by His Majesty to the prince is to let the prince go to which battlefield, I hope it is not the northern battlefield, in the new army, the captains of the three southern states are the majority, and they still have a grudge against the prince of Zhou, if the prince and his party go there, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble because of the identity of the prince."

"Uncle Qian, if you are so worried about them, why don't you send some guards to follow them, so that they can be protected."

The one who said this was the little eunuch named Zhenluo.

Since he was received by his father-in-law on that day, Zhenluo's situation in the palace has also risen.

After all, the father-in-law directly confessed, this little eunuch is his successor in the future, as soon as these words came out, where did the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace dare to bully and call Zhenluo like in the past.

And Zhenluo is also since he entered the door of the Qiangong Gong, he inexplicably transformed into a little Taoist priest, every time he met him in the palace, his mouth was always chanting Taoist minds.

Father-in-law glanced at Zhenluo with some loving eyes, then put his hand on Zhenluo's little head, and patiently explained to Zhenluo

"Zhenluo, you think about this matter too simply, master, even if I don't want the prince and his party to make any mistakes on the battlefield, I won't send someone to secretly protect them, because if that's the case, your master and I will break the rules."

"Rules? What rules? Uncle Qian, do you still need to follow any rules? ”

Zhenluo's words were a little bold, which made the brocade guards standing behind the god-in-law a little crying and laughing.

Should I say that this child is innocent, but what should I say?

Father-in-law smiled lightly, shook his head, and said

"You, you're still young, master, I'm a slave, no matter what happens, this identity can't be changed, the rules, the master naturally needs to abide by it, and not only the master, but other people also need to abide by this rule."

"Then, Uncle Qian, do our Sword Saints who have left Nanli also have to abide by this rule?"

When Father-in-law Qianluo heard Zhenluo say this, his eyes flashed slightly with a hint of strangeness, and then he replied with a wry smile

"That's right, this rule, Lord Feng also needs to abide by it, the rules, can't be broken, if the rules are broken, it's not a good thing."

"Wow, I didn't expect the Sword Saint to follow the rules as well."

Father-in-law squatted down at this time, looked at Zhenluo kindly, and said seriously to Zhenluo

"Zhenluo, you have to remember that no matter what you look like in the future, what happens, the rules can't be broken, you know?"

"Uncle Qian, I know."

"Good boy."

As for the brocade guards behind Father-in-law, when they heard Father-in-law talk about the rules, they consciously took a few steps back and covered their ears.

It's better if we don't know about this kind of thing.

With Lao Zhang's Lema, the destination has finally arrived.

Stretched out his hand and knocked on the carriage, Zhou Budo looked inexplicably happy and jumped out of the carriage.

Looking at these people in front of him, Zhou Budo laughed.

Qi Wuxian was wearing the flying fish suit of the Jinyi Guard, with his big knife pinned to his waist, and was talking to Black Thirteen about something.

And Hei Thirteen also changed into the armor of Yulin Wei's black rider at this time, and sure enough, this armor is still in line with his figure, at least not as comfortable as the court clothes that were torn by him in the court discussion a few days ago, and it looks a lot more powerful.

If he laughed suddenly, he was also wearing the blood-red armor of Zhijinsi's own, carrying his Fuso bow behind his back, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and his eyes were looking into the distance, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

As for the rest of the bitter wood, the bitter wood's clothes have not changed, he is still wearing the same white robe, with a crown of hair on his head, holding a fish intestine sword, sitting on the floor, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After seeing Zhou Budo coming, Qi Wuxian smiled and said hello to Zhou Budo

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has come down, then we are all together, it's time to go."

Zhou Budo said goodbye to Lao Zhang with a smile, and then trotted all the way to Kumu's side.

The meeting place where they agreed was the entrance of the Zen temple of the Iron Arrow Zen Master.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, we're all at the door, isn't it a little unreasonable not to go to the temple to meet your master?"

Zhou Budo opened his mouth, and everyone agreed.

They are standing at the door of the door of the Iron Arrow Zen Master, and they are about to leave, if they don't go to meet the Iron Arrow Zen Master, it will be a little difficult to pass.

Suddenly, Xiaowen rolled his eyes and said

"Okay, okay, my master originally explained that there is no need to visit him, since you have said so, then let's go and see my master, his old man is estimated to be still fishing in the backyard."

Suddenly, he smiled and pouted

"Follow me."

Zhou Budo responded with a smile, and quickly followed, Kumu also stood up silently, and came to Zhou Budo's side, without saying a word, like a silent guard.

"Your Royal Highness, you are so handsome today."

Qi Wuxian didn't know if it was a joke or something, so he came to Zhou Budo and said this to Zhou Budo.

"How can you Jinyiwei's flying fish suit look good, to be honest, I still want to get a set of flying fish clothes to wear, but those people in the house don't agree, and go to the tailor shop to ask the master to customize the flying fish suit, and the master of any tailor shop in the city doesn't agree, so I have to give up."

Zhou Budo spread his hands, a little helpless.

Feiyu suited this clothes, he just felt very good, but Lao Zhang and the others just didn't agree.

I don't want to say that I am also a prince of the palace, with royal blood, how can I wear the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, and I must not make people laugh at it when it is passed out.

What are you laughing at, isn't the flying fish suit good-looking?

Anyway, Zhou Budo didn't understand the reason why Lao Zhang said this.

Qi Wuxian's face changed, and then replied with a smile

"Yes, since His Royal Highness the Prince wants a flying fish suit, then when we come back, I will go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to have someone tailor-made a flying fish suit for His Royal Highness, which will be regarded as a gift for His Royal Highness."

"Hey, Qi Wuxian, what do you say, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World wants to wear an official uniform, and it will not be your turn to wear the flying fish suit of the Jinyi Guard, is it impossible for me to wear the Golden Crow of the Golden Division or what? Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince is a legitimate Shangshutai Shangshulang, and naturally he has his own official robe, what kind of flying fish suit, does it fit on His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

The one who walked in front suddenly smiled and heard that Qi Wuxian agreed to make a flying fish suit for Zhou Budo, and he was directly anxious, the flying fish suit is a piece of clothing, no one can wear it on the royal family, this is a thing that everyone understands, what did you Qi Wuxian agree to do without permission.

No matter how far the authority of the Jinyi Wei Yamen has reached, he has always been a serious spy agency Yamen who has left the south, not to mention that the command of the Jinyi Wei has always been served by the great eunuch in the palace.

You let Zhou Budo a prince of royal blood, wearing a flying fish suit.

What's the matter, when you see your father-in-law, do you still have to pay an official salute to him?

This is simply a scandal in the Nanli royal family.

"What are you in a hurry, it's a big deal to get some special flying fish costumes for His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, that's fine."

Qi Wuxian was a little dissatisfied, although the words he said with a sudden smile were difficult to hear to him, but the words he said with a sudden smile were not coarse, and it was indeed that truth.

It's also a shame that at this time, the monks in the temple are chanting, otherwise they would suddenly laugh at their noisy noise, which may attract some white eyes.

After all, the Iron Arrow Zen Master is the master here, and he is still his apprentice when he laughs, and he knows the rules here.

After crossing the path, Su Xiao led Zhou Budo and them to the backyard.

Iron Arrow Zen Master was also sitting cross-legged by the pond at this time, holding a fishing rod in his hand, when they suddenly laughed when they just stepped into the temple gate, Iron Arrow Zen Master noticed it, and when they entered the backyard, Iron Arrow Zen Master also got up in a hurry, and after watching them come over, Iron Arrow Zen Master bent down slightly and saluted Zhou Budo, and said in a deep voice

"The poor monk Iron Arrow, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhou."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Zen master is a tormented boy."

Zhou Budo dared not to accept this gift from the Iron Arrow Zen Master, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and returned the salute.

"The etiquette system is like this, although the poor monk is a monk, he still needs to abide by it."

After saying this with Zhou Budo with a little kindness on his face, the Iron Arrow Zen Master came to the side of the sudden smile, his eyes suddenly became different, and he said with a cold smile to the sudden ground

"What's the matter, didn't you say that you shouldn't visit your teacher? After going to Dongxun and coming back, even the words of being a teacher don't work now? ”

"How can there be, master, I'm me, how dare I."

Suddenly, I laughed and knew that my master would react like this, it stands to reason that my master's temper is not like this, and this is still in front of Zhou Budo and them, what my master said made him lose face at all.

"Forget it, now that I've seen it, I can only wish you a safe return from the front line."

Hearing what the Iron Arrow Zen Master said, he suddenly made a grimace with a smile, and then took a step back, respectfully bowed to the Iron Arrow Zen Master, and said

"The apprentice obeys the master's orders."

"By the way, since you kid is still here, your little junior brother has encountered some bottlenecks recently, pay attention to it when you go to the front line this time, and see if you can get a copy of the Buddhist mind for your little junior brother."

Suddenly, when he heard the Iron Arrow Zen Master say this, he was directly dumbfounded, and asked with wide eyes and doubts

"Isn't it, master, you let the apprentice go to the front line to practice the Buddhist mind? No, master, you have so many unique classics, as for the apprentices to find them? And where did the front line come from, Master, aren't you embarrassed? ”

The Iron Arrow Zen Master frowned and said with some displeasure

"Why do you ask so much, let you look for it, just pay more attention to it, if you can't find it, you can't find it, and it's not forcing you to be a teacher."

Suddenly, he smiled at how ugly and ugly his face was now, he couldn't imagine that he just listened to Zhou Budo's words and took them to visit his master, how could he be inexplicably placed on an errand by the master again.

"Okay, the words are over, you should also set off, and the poor monks will not be left here."

After saying this, the Iron Arrow Zen Master folded his hands and sat cross-legged in his place again.

And what about Zhou Bu doubting them?

They looked at each other, and then they all omitted the smiling faces, bowed slightly to the Iron Arrow Zen Master, turned around and turned back.

Although he was a little unhappy, he still followed them and turned back.

After Zhou Budo and his group came out of the backyard, a little novice showed his little head from the pavilion not far from the pond, and when he saw them walking away, he ran to the Iron Arrow Zen Master with a smile, and then sat down and hung his back to the Iron Arrow Zen Master.

"Minghao, what do you think of your senior brother?"

Xiao Shami, who was known as Minghao, heard the Iron Arrow Zen Master ask, first thought for a while, and then replied with some stumbling

"Senior brother, he's good, good."

The Iron Arrow Zen Master chuckled, turned his head to look at the little novice, and then smiled at the pond again.

"You, you and your senior brother will not walk the same path, your senior brother is practicing the arrow path for the teacher, not the Dharma, and Minghao you are the opposite of him, only practicing the Dharma for the teacher, not the arrow path for the teacher."

Minghao Xiao Shami nodded ignorantly, he could understand some of what the Iron Arrow Zen Master said, but he didn't understand it very well.

After leaving the Zen Temple, Qi Wuxian stopped and turned to look at the lost face and asked with a sudden smile

"Suddenly, why didn't I hear that the Iron Arrow Zen Master has an apprentice besides you?"

"I just entered the door last month, and it was a small novice in the temple who practiced beside the master."

Suddenly, his face was still not very good-looking.

"Tut-tut, I really didn't expect that the Iron Arrow Zen Master would actually be absent for more than ten years and accept another apprentice, yes, it seems that this little junior brother of yours will definitely surpass your senior brother in the future."

Qi Wuxian licked his lips, he didn't know why, he was a little inexplicably full of some unusual curiosity about this little junior brother who was suddenly smiling.

And, a touch of anticipation.
